u asked for it at present TNT Professional HTC Home

Jaguar is best!

I 've tested every WM6 ROM out there. None satisfied me. So, decided to go back WM5 AKU 3.3 Generic (without T-Mobile stuff). Perhaps, what I can recommend for WM6 is either 15342 (dogfood) or 1437. So far, these are 2 most stable build by far.

Jaguar *is* the most reliable and stable.

Tried several, only Jaguar is stable, reliable, and doesn't miss calls. (current rev. is Jaguar 2).

ICTDifrentie ROM
I love the ICTDifrentie.NL rom.
its fast smart and easy to use
Greats Antonius

I have NBD 9.2 rom but these days there is no new Rom from NBD so hoping for a new release.

Let me throw in my vote for Jaguar as well. It has been very responsive and I haven't encountered any problems yet.

once again the same newbie question.
People please...
The best ROM is the one which fits your own needs.
Please read on the forum, research a little bit about Cook's preferences and style and look which one suits your own need..
Mods shall we delete this thread please???

The one that works the best for my needs is.....
Hello all,
Yes, these threads pop up about every other day or so.... and while they might get tiresome for the old hats and gurus here, it's still nice to collect a smattering of opinions as to where the user community might be leaning regarding what rom base, touch or no touch, HTC Home or HTC NOT Home, overclocking, memory free, performance, battery usage, etc... and while this is extremely specific to the device and flash method(s) used as well as the applications loaded and a slew of other factors, it is still just a loose "hold your finger to the wind" type of thing that is still interesting....
Myself? I always look to see what the latest info is on the NBD, TNT, and TNE fronts.... and when it comes time, I usually end up trying all three as well as throwing in Mfrazz and others when I see something new from them... All in all, every one of them has occupied my rom for months at a time....
Right now I'm running TNT.1457 and everything works... the apps I have bog it down a bit and I don't use Touch or HTC Home.... the memory usage is pretty good with ~21 MB free after all my Today plugins and such are loaded... battery life is a little scary but that's the way I use my phone... a Cingular 8125.... I see NBD X has come out.... been drooling just thinking about it....
So the best ROM for My Usage? I lean towards NBD and TNT the most... they seem to match my usage patterns of my phone the best....
My $.02 (and I'll probably get change)

Rom Reviews Anyone?

I have searched already and haven't found reviews of the new cooked and stock roms out there that we all use and love. If your flash happy like myself you would love to here unbiased reviews of the roms and I don't mean whats in the exisiting threads for each rom that have complaints, rants, and flaming. If anyone else would like to jump on this please let me know or just start reviewing the roms yourselves and the mods will hopefully start a sticky for reviews. Thanks and to all the great chefs keep up the good work.

dutty's roms are quite nice. They've got the basics. You'll probably need to install a few things for personal needs, but not too much.
For example, I always install HTC's Task manager. But he took it out since some people liked the WKTask (eww).
I've tried a few random others, and some pack in too many apps
**Edit for links** http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/
->Current thread for V4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544

I'd like to be able to stick with a ROM for long enough to be able to do a full review
Agreed, Duttys v4 felt nice but I changed to Q-Mobile because I was having problems with bluetooth on the v4 rom.... After playing around with the Q-Mobile rom I don't actually think that the BT problem was caused by duttys rom.
Q-Mobile is nice and clean but I've had problems installing some stuff, again might not be anything to do with the ROM and it may well be the user and or the cabs at fault
What I'd really like is to try out a WM6.1 rom to see if the new network drivers sort out my wifi problem but Im really unsure as to which is the best, hopefully some people will post their thoughts on 6.1 roms in here.

That sounds fast

Roms depends on user needs Some people like fancy stuff. Like duttys one and some others with dual touch, cube etc.... And some people are professional they want fast, effective. I am in love with sleuth rom. I didnt have to install separate radio, separate java bla blah. Everything working out of the box working fine. Some people have issues like skype and core player. But they are problem with all 6.1 version.

I would of LOVED sleuth's wm 6.1 v3.0 if the audiomanager worked There were a few other small things, such as how to disable threaded sms, without killing the notifications (I didn't really like the threaded smsing, but I got enough smses that if I didn't get a notification it would mean lots of missed smses)
I spent the last 10 hours or so flashing different roms onto my phone, I've went back to Q-mobile 1.2 =/
If you don't mind the threaded sms and don't use audiomanager (I installed mortplayer to compensate) I'd suggest Sleuth's 3.0 6.1 rom.

I've tried just about every rom here and I keep going back to Q-Mobile 1.2.

I love dutty's customizations, but I have to agree that Quentin's are the most polished. I have tried almost all of them and have settled on Quentin's Q-Mobile 1.2 for now (with a lot of my own customizations of course).

Just wait a little bit
All I have to tell you guys is wait and see

Current is Sleuth 3.0 WM6.1
I am using an ATT Tilt version in the US, I have tried many of the current roms (to me some were more well done than I like, Some were not stable or under done) I like 3 roms
WM 6.1 - I like Austinsync's rom and Sleuth 3.0
WM 6.0 - I like Q-Mobile 1.2 (Sorry have not tried any others but the Sleuth version is probably good there too)
Cheers
BR

For now, I'm staying away from the 6.1 roms (I have a feeling that "for now" will change to "right now" once dutty's new one is released) but I've been using dutty's V4 since the day it was released and I love it. It's very fast and has everything you need.
...for now.

Haze,
I would say give Dutty a couple of days, or a week at the most, and he will release his newest flavor. The beta testers have worked really hard to get a perfect ROM to the community. You will be pleasantly surprised at the result. One thing you should know. Dutty has been building a WM6.1 ROM without a phone much like Schap's does which is quite amazing.

why do they both do it without phones? Did their phones break or are they using other ones? Anyways I like Q-Mobile 1.2 but I received a lot of error messages I didn't get on other roms. Sleuths is good also but a little too clean for my liking. Downloading Dutty v4 now hopefully this is a winner until his 6.1

Dutty's phone bricked and Schap's has never had a device.

I have 2 devices, 1 with dutty's WM6.1 and the other is Sleuth 3.0's WM6.1. Both are great in their respected fields. I think dutty's is the most organized of the two. Speed wise Sleuth is ahead but thats also due to a larger page file.

What page pool are you rockin' right now. Notice any difference in battery life?

Sleuth 3.0's WM6.1 rocks!
Tried Alex 6.1 but have no luck with no-sound problem.
Switched to Sleuth 3.0 and I stay so far.
Waiting for new version of dutty. I hope secret testing policy will help here (?)

I think it would be awesome if Dutty made a clean version of 6.1 along with his regular version. I hate having all kinds of extra programs that I'm never use.

Sleuth's 6.1 is at 32MB and it's very fast and responsive. No issues with battery life. I'm on the 2nd full decharge right now. 1st run died at about 452 with bluetooth on in a E area. Dutty's default is 24 if i'm not mistaken. dutty's has the best battery life so far. I'll make a better report when i wake up, 2am here and I need to be in the office at 8. Night all

Two Thumbs up for Sleuth's 6.1

I have tried all 6.1 rom's DCS, Dutty's, (all versions) in the past two days. Got dropped calls, phone powering out in a call on all of of them, some wouldn't sync etc, basically 6 roms, ALL failures. And yes, I switched 5 radios, still no go. Whatever is in that vodafon rom is useless.
So I went back to Sleuth 6.1, it syncs, and calls don't drop (Both pretty important in a phone PDA wouldn't you say?)
So a simple poll:

this is a good rom yes, however juding all the posts and threads about unwanted threads dont be hurt if u get flammed. post praise in the proper area ie. the thread sleuth started

Hard to choose...
Is very hard to choose... all are very good players....
Sleuth's is my choice, at the moment...
Thank to all of them!!

I say cheers to all cooks. With bugs or without all these guys work hard on the roms and all deserve a pat on the back. And some money in their pocket.

I am using Dutty's 6.1 and 1.58.26.20 and it is the best combination I have used yet. Battery life was extended greatly and I do not have any issues with dropped calls or anything.

Answer to all
Here it is a nut shell.
"TO EACH HIS OWN"

mikeycollins13
yes yes with all my fingers up i agree w you
till now sleuths rom are the best for me

Dont forget schaps!! lol
hello friends.. I think there are a lot of good chefs! But sleuth, dutty and schaps are the best...
Im waiting for a new version of schaps wm6.1 to test...

I've always wondered what others are running. I know that choice of ROM is personal user preference. There's no 'better rom' as it's all subjective. But I've always wondered what others have chosen to go with. I'd like to see this poll expanded to include more Chef's ROMs. Or maybe a Poll on WM6.1 based ROM's and another based on WM6 ROM's.
I'm personally gathering data on all the popular WM6.1 ROM's and putting the 'installed applications' in a list, a side by side Excel spreadsheet comparing the difference software and their versions that each Cook has chosen to use. This way I get a 'birds eye view' a simple comparison table, showing me which ROM has what and what versions. I'm also taking note on the base they chose. I to don't like the Vodaphone base, I've tried L26's ROM and Dutty's ROM, both are solid, but I could tell that the base was a cause of a lot of my issues (both Vodaphone based). Sleuths 3.02 base rocks, although not the latest WM6.1 build, it's solid and quick.
I think I may end up throwing in the towel and learning how to cook myself. There's bits and pieces out of each ROM I like and dislike, I'd love to combine them all into a personal ROM that's perfect for my needs, everything I like, nothing I don't. Anyways,if anybodys interested in my Excel comparison or the things I like and dislike about each ROM, just PM me. If anybody knows of a list already, PLEASE IM me so I don't waste 2 hours comparing and making notes

How much faster is a cooked ROM?

Currently I have a tilt w/o all the Att garbage. Just wondering from real world use how much faster a cooked rom is?
What I have now is decent but there is some lag going from menus etc...just inquiring.

approx 32mph

Ok..... I will not flame him.
If you are wanting MUCH better performance from your tilt, I would urge you to try a few ROMS. I would tell you to first try either L26's V9 rom or ROMeOS V4.1. Both are VERY fast, stable and have great support from their authors. Your current rom will have about half of the free ram than a cooked rom, making the cooked roms MUCH faster. Read through the WIKI files to figure out how to flash, and search for "ultimate Radio" to read on different radios. My best advice is to try a rom and radio for a day, and switch to another to judge. READ to get results.

it changes wildly between roms. its can also change between type of action your doing. most tend to be faster. some are around same speed but have more features.
If youre after speed id recommend the ROMceos 4.1 rom. its very quick and supports the d3d drivers very well.

<Reverse Psychology>
Cooked Roms are not faster than Stock Roms. Don't listen to those people.
Also, don't search of read the thread of a cooked Rom to see how many people say, "Damn this is a wicked fast Rom, faster then anything I've ever tried.
Don't do either of those, because then you would be able to figure things out for yourself, and no one wants that.

hehe that was great.
but i agree. try dif. roms and dif radios. please make sure you are using the recommended hard SPL
do some research and experiment
if u want something "fast" like "super fast" get something Lite. u might not have crap on it but its fast lol

If its carbon fiber anything you get like +3 mph!

My tilt has a Z-Rated rubber case, but I never get it over 80 anymore...

compared to stock wm 6.0, it's about 1.5x faster on the interface responsiveness.

Yeah I rem that car.. it was featured on Top Gear. It smoked the Veyron.

I am a fan of hyperdragon III rom.
Also this is my first post so that should tell you something. Try the ROM if you dont like it try another. I went through a few roms just to go back to ATT stock one. Did a little searching and ready some reviews on hyper dragon's rom and it is crazy fast.
All these people are correct. The info is out there just need to find it or just try it for yourself when you have some spare time. I found it easier to just try the dang roms than searching for everyone opinion.

BEWARE FLASHING ROMS WILL TAKE OVER YOUR NIGHTS!!!!

WOW!!! Is this your current ROM in your sig?? I assume I need to hunt down HTCGroundEffects0.0.0.11.cab.
Seriously, this is eskimo's second attempt at a thread on this topic. I think if you are < 5 posts there should be warning and flashing lights and beeping sounds around your "start a thread" box.

I'm new to trying cooked ROMs - I've used a few of L26's Roms, currently on V9. It may be a little bit snappier than my stock T-mobile WM6 rom, but the real benefits to flashing I've found are the interface optimisations & WM6.1 updates. It was well worth flashing, but in terms of speed, there was no significant improvement.
When/if 2D accelerated drivers are made, there may be real performance gains to be had when it comes to the snappiness of the interface. Have a play around, try a few roms and see what feels best to you.

LOL, very true my friend, very true.
so before the topic's closed let's rant: try it for yourself and don't brick your phone, and remember to do your homework before flashing.

This is a matter of deciding what is better:-
Speed Vs Stability
Extras Vs Memory
Performance Vs Power comsumption
I would try a few roms but i have had problems with everyone ive tried- IE freezing. locking up, missing icons and general performance problems and missing features.
what ever rom you use will have problems but speed doesnt mean stable, find a stable rom before choosing high performance.
I use 6.1 O2 rom which has served me fine apart from the sluggish display which is caused by HTC video drivers missing.
On the Tytn1 i used Shaps 6 roms, but he doesnt seem to support Kaiser yet.

being on topic here, do you have the correct hardspl version? It is known if you have the wrong SPL version, it will cause lags.

Help in selecting ROM

I will be receiving my fuze tomorrow and I've been doing quite a bit of research on these forums. I've come to the conclusion that I will be using a cooked ROM, and there are quite a few to choose from, so a little confusion has set in. I would like to offer a bit of friendly and constructive criticism to ROM maintainers -- Clearly state the goal you are aiming to accomplish with your ROM! It would certainly help in determining which to use (whether it be stability, speed, size, features, etc).
I'm looking to do away with the cruft of the OEM ROM and use something that is, first and foremost, stable and bug free. Performance is secondary but still important.
I guess the place to start would be, a WM6.1 ROM or a 6.5 ROM? I have read the other thread with regard to differences, but my question is of a different context. I am not tied to the 6.1 interface, so that part is irrelevant. I have heard conflicting reports on speed and battery use, but the general consensus is that 6.5 is better. Any word on stability? How about application support?
Then, as far as a particular ROM, I'm looking for something that doesn't necessarily offer all the latest and greatest, but supports a particular version (with bugfixes and performance improvements) for a while. Reading through ROM release posts, it seems that new releases typically have a few kinks to work out. I'm looking for something that has been ironed out over time, or at least will be supported for a while!
Thanks in advance,
B

ROM Choice
I would suggest PROven ROM 4.1 and 1.14.25.05 radio. Fast, stable and energy efficient. I think most folks will suggest that you flash a variety of ROMs and see for yourself what you like best. Enjoy!

If your thinking of a 6.5 rom I can strongly recommend Shep's rom, if your looking for a 6.1 rom I thought the EnergyRom was the best i've used!

I fully agree...I am running Shep's 6.5 rom without any problems. Battery is about the same as 6.1 roms, maybe a little better with certain settings.

You can cook your own ROM using Da_G's kitchen. I can help you if you want.

You have a lot of options. I would say your first option is Wm6.1 or Wm6.5. Very easy choice; WM6.5 no doubt.
You then have a choice of ROMS. I personally do not appreicate the HTC overlay software and feel as though it is pretty, fun and simple but it is more look than substance. I also find that no matter what Cooked ROM I am using that the Roms that aren't stripped down to Wm6.5 basic are simply too slow for me. Some of the cooked Roms are very fast in comparison to the HTC OEM stuff but I still use stripped Roms.
I would say plan to flash three to four times. Try a Da_G Wm6.5 Rom first to figure out what wm6.5 is like. Then go for Shep or NATF to see what a custom rom would be and finally go for broke and try your own cooked Rom.
Once you flash you will be tempted to try other Roms, so go for it. Each ROM really does have it's own unique purpose with a lot of overlapping features.

the amount of roms for the touch pro is truly dizzying so I feel your pain.
The type of roms I like are similar to DCD or NoChem's work. Clean and simple with the necessary OS tweaks/enhancements, then add my cabs.
For my first tpro rom, I'm gonna try Copper.

Are there any roms that just remove the att junk and leave everything else? My current phone is a HTC thru a small carrier that didn't add extra stuff. I was able to tweak little stuff on it w/o doing in the main os. Thanks
