Hi,everybody:
I am using PDAviet rom now, I feel the universal running not so fast as i expect. Could someone give me some recommendation which rom is faster thatn pdaviet(2.07) rom.
There are so many wm6 roms for universal, all i need is the speed and stability, video calling and so on is not my consideration.
Thanks for your help..
Try Ivan's ROM... I think that this is most stable and functional
ROM based on new builds No SD problems, no radio crashing, no
camera or pictures problem, no mail or MMS problems, no GPRS problems, etc
And it is FAST

I'm using Ivan's ROM with Radio 1.18right now. It's really fast, it's stable.
I can reccomend that too!
But hey, i'm having this f...g GPRS connectivity problem!
But i don't know if it's due to the Rom.
Always the same useless question ... !! The best Rom depend on your need...So don't be lazy and read the post, try yourself and report !! Thx !!
yes this is really the reality....you really have to try different ROMS and determine which suits you best..... all ROMS are not stable depending on your point of view.... you're sure to be flooded with plenty of suggestions of which ROM is best but at the end of the line.. it is you who will determine what is best...
cheers!
Do what I did. Try different roms. Some will suit your needs, some wont. remember all roms are a trade off between content and speed (even the OEM ones!) so find one that has what you need (or go vanilla and load what you need). either way stick with it!
On a more personal note. I find the PDAViet 2.10.11 rom suits me best with regards to apps and speed.

So far My tries and report is this:
features wanted - Videocall, Wifi, 3G working
1. Leo's rom v1 - had some problems with wifi for me.
2. Leo's rom v2 worked for a long time, but wasn't stable in terms of memory leaks. Slow phone response. video call stopped working for me.
3. Leo's aku 0.5 gives problems with SD card will try using sdhc, maybe problems gone. Fast phone response.
4. jwright cmps - very stable. a little slow.. Ivan's works much faster.
5. Ivan's v1 sd problems as well. also problem with setting up new mail account.
Going to try ranju rom, indra xoj. I haven't decided which to try. trying to find solution for SD problems on Ivan's rom.

A few words for SD problem:
There is a new technology and standard for >4GB cards, which is SDHC. Meaning that, all 8GB and higher capacity cards are SDHC. But unfortunately our giant Uni do not support SDHC.
Mamaich did an wonderful afford to patch the available driver and Uni now supports SDHC with the patched driver.
No problem is reported for sdhc cards yet...
Actually I've ordered an SDHC card but it'll take time to get (ebay)..
In any case, SD cards should work fine as well, there shouldn't be a difference. It's a shame, otherwise these new WM6 ROM's are something else!
Ariel
I recommend Ivan's version along with the others. Very fast, stable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327349
I've tried most of the very thought out and encompassing wm6 roms - indra XOJ, jwrightcmps, ivan v1, and of course leo and beast.
All had SD card problems tried what ranju and beast suggested to change in the registry - no go .
Hey all..
There is a similar thread started sometimes back asking for feedback on which 6.1 rom one is using and why! That post seems to have died prematurely. Now with Dutty's much awaited 6.1 rom is out I think this thread can benefit a lot.
As the title.. after reading the threads of the various 6.1 roms.. Dutty's, DKs, Alex's, Sleuths... etc. they are all having one or more bugs/issues... Please share YOUR views with which ROM is running most stable for you and what are the bugs/glitches you're still experiencing.
Recommended format: Phone version/carrier, ROM cook/version, Radio version... and which one tried and had more bugs than the one you have now. (usual format everyone uses anyways)
[Update: Feb 17, 08 (30 minutes into the post)]: PLEASE refrain from stating issues that are most commonly being experienced and discussed, the obvious ones like lack of sound/volume etc. which is most likely from having wrong/incompatible radio... now if the volume/sound issue persists even after you've flashed the right radio as per the cook.. then it should be shared here.
I've personally installed DCS V1.5 WM6.1 and reported numerous bugs, which seemed to be isolated to my Tilt only as Johan shared but ever since I'm very confused as to which one to get. Ofcourse, I can download one each day and see for myself which will work best, but unfortunately, I use this phone good 10 working hours a day, 6 days a week on the "field", using its various functions for productivity and only get time on Sundays and nights to play with it... therefore, I felt this thread will be a better approach and is sure to benefit a lot.. I hope.
At&t Tilt -
Dutty's DualTouch V4 currently.
Radio: 1.27.12.11
DCS v1.5 WM6.1 - very buggy (lag/top-bar vanishing in dialpad/freeze issues) - un-flashed.
Great Thread, Currently under dutty's 6.1 rom I have no sound, no speaker, when playing music, however, in call the speaker phone works correctly

Apparently, you didn't read the entire thread or even the first three posts. If you had used the search or read the dutty thread, you would know that you need a 6.1 radio to use Dutty's or Sleuth's 6.1 roms. The problem with no sound has also been asked at least 20 times in the dutty thread as well.

I agree with eagle1.. I should've specified that lack of sound/volume related bugs should be first thoroughly searched and then shared as most likely they are due to incompatible radio..
Also, please try and post ONLY when you've tried troubleshooting the problem through either posting about it in the cook's original thread or have searched for it somewhere else and it still didn't get fixed.
I'm hoping that all of us only share WHATS STILL WRONG.. and not HOW TO FIX IT.. as this is meant to be more of a GUIDE!...
Go with Vega's ROM R1 build simple amazing. Fast stable and anything and more. IT is aka udk I think is the name he goes by on here.
I found the best to be Duttys ROM so far. I tried DCS 1.4 and it was pretty good.
I have to say I have liked all Duttys roms the best up until 6.1
I have tried all the 6.1 except duttys. I am using Sleuth.
FAST, STABLE and LOVIN IT. I have not tried Duttys yet cause I do not want to part with sleuths.
I will try when I have a bit of extra time. For now I am staying with Sleuth once you get past not having the htc home it is amazing.
I would recommend giving it a try.
I tried Dutty lastest 6.1 with radio 1.64.04 on HTC unbranded TyTN II ... few bugs with HTC Home plugin and notifications but terrible slowness and lags ... flashed back to original rom
sleuth 3.0 -
digression -
tried the official 1.62 and
Alex.v51.WM60.ATT.162.Home.ROM;
doesn't seem to be stable and missing quite a number of essentials.
I'm on Sleuth's v3.0 and it's fantastic. Fast, Smooth, and no problems what-so-ever. I'm VERY tempted to flash to Dutty''s 6.1, but i'm not confident enough yet.
Can anybody who's used both Sleuth's v3.0 wm6.1 AND Dutty's 6.1 please comment? It'd be much appreciated.
Cheers
I'm also using Sleuth, but I still have issues with GPS. Do you guys also have problems? But the ROM overall is VERY stable, love it!
Started off with DCS and ended up with Sleuth. So far it has been good. No problems with GPS. Make sure you're using 08.21 Radio, at least it gives good reception and also GPS works well with it.
Well I've tried Schap's 4.4o beta, UDK and now Dutty's. Schap's was the fastest but none of the available radios worked with my device. Dutty's 6.1 is going fine so far. There are a few things I'd like to change, The best and the fastest ROM has been SNE 2.5 for me. It's not WM 6.1 based though.
Sleuth is my pick from everyone elses that is out now. I've tried all of em and Sleuth is deffinately the fastest. I love it even though it is a little scarce on applications. But you can always download programs you need anyway.
+1 Sleuth 3.0

I have tried both Dutty's and Sleuth's. I found them both relatively equal in performance and stability. For me it came down to the apps I use (and don't use).
Dutty's is better is if you like it with lots of apps and utilities.
Sleuths' is better for me because I like to load my own stuff (mostly NOT the HTC stuff).

Thanks kwickone, I decided to go ahead and flash Dutty's, and as you said, it's equally impressive. The speed seems almost identical, but Dutty's really looks the part.
Nice UI, quick speeds, and I was impressed with the apps list too, as I use pretty much all of them. He definately chose well in what apps were included.
Time to change my signature
I have had the least amount of problems with Alex's 6.1 Beta 2 after changing the pagepool to 24 mb.
I haven't tried Sleuth's, only dutty's and L26.
Mods.. should this thread be made sticky?
..I recommend making this thread a sticky or better still as a link under maybe a thread to-be-started like "WM6.1 flashing 101"
Sleuth rocks
tried LC, tried DC, and dutty's in the past - but not the recent one. as an orange UK user sleuth v3 is the best for me.
nice work.
This thread needs a poll option added.
I'm on Slueths too, GPS, HTC HOME, all that stuff is working perfectly. Not as fleshed out as other roms. i.e. L26 includes the Action menu and a bunch of utilities such as quickmenu and various tweaking utilities that are not present in Slueths. But L26 also has a bunch of unnecessary files in the windows folder. In my test using standard explorer browsing the windows folder on L26 took 9 seconds, on Slueths it's less than 4.
They all bring something unique, so it's up the user but it's also been through enough tutorials that most people could make their own.
Cheerio

I've not been on here for months and always find it useful, so thanks to everyone for their continued fantastic input.
I've recently started to have problems with my phone locking randomly and especially when I'm online using either Opera or Explorer.
Also had problems where the phone would reboot into the ROM flash mode.
I temporarily fix it each time by taking the battery out and leaving it for 10mins - 20mins.
I thought it would be worthwhile flashing the latest WM6 version and radio ROM but can't do a search for WM6 as it's too short.
I'm not too sure about WM6.1 with all the problems that people seem to have, but maybe someone can correct me and point me in the right direction.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the most reliable WM6 version and radio ROMs please?
My current versions are:
ROM Version : 1.56.110.4
ROM Date: 09/01/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.17
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
Many thanks in advance.
This is a very personal question to every user. some want speed, some want battery life, and some want overall stability. I bounce around quite often between the newer dutty roms but seem to always go back to Q-mobile in the end. I guess it also depends on what applications you use since some are not 6.1 compatible. Good luck and happy flashing.
Thanks for the response.
I tend to stick to standard apps I as depend on MS Office and Internet performance is high on my priority list.
I've been going through the other postings just now and many people say that WM6.1 is much slicker when using IE. TBH, it couldn't be worse!!! I use Opera mostly as IE performs awfully in comparison, but resort to IE for those websites that won't fully work with Opera.
I also find the response time of my current WM6 version generally very slow. E.g. big pauses between entering a number on the phone keypad before it shows up. This is a pain as I often type the same number twice thinking I've not entered it correctly the first time.
I read some of the problems with the current WM6.1 Radio ROM being locked to a certain version and not allowing users to modify it etc.
The other thing I can't stand about the standard WM6 I've got is the camera takes sooooooo long to autofocus when indoors and lighting isn't very bright.
Apart from that, I don't have a problem with the software apart from speed i.e. response time.
Ok, I've just read the thread about Q-mobile 1.2 and it looks like the one for me.
I'm primarily a business user and also use the Resco suite.
If this is as slick as they come, then I'll be a happy man.

Q-Mobile 1.2 is one of the best ROMs period. Have to say that it's the best WM6 ROM available.
Which are (reasonably) stable naked/lite, without M2D and/or M3D ROMs. I am not asking which are better than other or any other kind of comparision. I am just asking, which ROM do you think is (reasonably) stable. I just just want to flash and try a few.
Thanks.
this rom is is so far the most stable and fastest windows mobile 6.5 rom ive used...

Seriously, you need to read. Almost all the ROMs out here will tell you what all it has in it!
I have the same question. Been reading and reading but still want to know which one has been found to be most stable. Thanks for the question and the reply.
No one will tell you which one is the most stable, there's only one way, flash and check the one you like

Well, opinions can be allowed, I guess.
Here's mine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496555 - using the naked version and am lovin' it. Very stable and fast 6.1 ROM.
I am still not into 6.5 as the bells and whistles seem to be more in that than actual substance.

Stable one for me, wont be stable for you! It all depends on what you use your phone for and where you live! Best way to find out is keep flashing...
I'm heavy phone user - from 30 to 70 phone calls (from 1min to 25-30min per call) per day, up to 10 synch with exchange, few sms messages... Most stable ROM (I'm always returning to it) for me is Nothrills wm6.1 rom. No dropped calls, no missed calls, working wi fi... but, you cant install M3D over it, youtube mobile won't work - but you can use streaming media instead. I've upgraded only radio to 1.65.21.18 because it has better rill and can read correctly cell tower Id's. I've tried dozens and dozens of roms, but this one is the best for me. Its god damn uber stable, and fast. If you install it, install device update and download new htc home and few minor upgrades.
Please see my ROM comment here. Basically same as what you got from others.
The answer is : depend on what you use it for, and how you use it. Some ROM's might perform better according to your pattern of usage. The quest is further made complicated that once you found the ROM, you need to find which Radio & SPL that works best .. now, some seemingly less stable ROM could get very stable once you change the SPL/Radio ..
I still, at the end, suggest you give it a try, after reading some comments from the latest version of each ROM.
Asfoor told me, one AT&T OEM ROM (RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.8 8.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe) is very stable, and if you soft reset when it starts autoconfiguring and installing additional AT&T bloatwares, you'd get a lean, mean and stable ROM. However, I have not tried myself.
As has been said, this is subjective. Also, the ROM dev forum is not the ROM recommendations forum. Please try some of the suggestions everyone has kindly posted already.
Thanks

Hi there,
Simply, I need help and advice regarding Polaris ROM's
I was looking for answer in ROM Development section many times(FAQ too), but all topics are so confusing(disorganised, confusing and uninformative) that I'm losing my sanity.
I was trying few roms(like panosha think), but unfortunately dissapointed me(bugs, unresolved issues etc.)
So what i need is quite simple in fact:
-fast, stable 6.1 or 6.5 version
-bug free or at least little bugs
-fully working radio(bluetooth, wifi, 3G and GPS)
-need default microsoft keyboard
Don't need gizmos, although nice GUI is a good point to go.
Thank you in advance.
tl;dr
Help me finding best ROM
go to htc support page scroll down to the bottom of the page, enter your phone's serial number and you will download the newest official ROM, with update utility included.
a good rom for polaris..
It's been more than 1 year that I use the rom called 3LIT3 (FULL VERSION) on both my 2 polaris... they work very well, 3LIT3 is really a fantastic / fast/ bug-free rom. I have the "3LIT3 V FULL WWE" VERSION.. and I can guarantee for this one only. I know there are the VI, the VII and the VIII versions of the same rom, but for sure number V is absolutely perfect. Everything including bluetooth, gps, external speaker, battery, wi-fi ecc ecc is working very well, without bugs...and including footprints!!
AH I FORGOT this rom is based on WM6.1 plus manila2d of course...
You got just to update the google maps cab..and your poleris will FLY!!!.
@faredino
thx for the tip this rom ist the best rom i´ve tested
i had m-amines, which is also nice but not as fast as lit3
i had pcars 6.5 rom, which is good but very slow (i think 6.5 is´nt the right thing for polaris)
and since a few days the lite3 VIII, which blew my mind...very very good work a pitty that he stopped working on it
so if you need a good stable rom take lit3 !
How about 6.5 recommendations?
So what's a good bet for WM6.5?
Was using pcarvalho's latest (24DEC09) but it has been freezing up & generally running very laggy. My Orbit 2 is going to my wife so I need something friendly as it gets whilst also reliable & quick. WM6.1 comes over too strong on the 3LIT3 ROMs...
i just tested pcars and kostas, but haven´t found a better rom then lit3, it got not the nice appearance of wm6.5, but i prefer speed and smoothnes

Tried, tested and i can confirm that.
Stable, bug free with nice gui.
Thank you.
3lit mmm, too slow for me.. too much stuff, probably many of them will never be used.
obviously you pay your many stuff with -speed!
a 400mhz processor can perform more than that, it have to, with 3lit I felt like going back to omap 201mhz ppc generation...
I have two Polaris and on both I have returned after many tries to an official 6.1 ROM, with radio updated, and tomtom7.
I think it's all what you need, a fast and crashless rom,
for me it's just all I need
Recently I have upgraded to 3LIT3 VIII FULL ITA....
...definitely my fav's ROM!!!!!!!!!
Will thank chavonbravo for the rest of... the days of my both polaris!!
If you're also using that rom, please consider a donation to the great mind of chavonbravo!
Also..anyone has changed the rom's keyboard? i think that is the only "not really perfect" issue of 3LIT3_VIII.. but it is overall GOOD anyway
Bye everybody,

Hello,
I am looking for this option to download a new rom but i can not find.
Can I help me with a link, please.
Thank you very mutch
I am afraid downloads on HTC home page are no longer available. License for WM has expired some time ago.
Search on Touch Cruise ROM development page though.
