wow a little harsh huh? why the sour response?
Well, Doug is probably coming from some other forum where a new "Which is the best ROM?" kind of post is started each week. It is a natural question, but it gets old after a while.
In the Hermes thread for example, there are multiple kitchens for making ROMs, so everyone and his brother are putting out new ROMs constantly that suit their needs. Asking which is the best is kind of like asking which restaurant is best in San Francisco. There are good ones and bad ones, cheap ones and expensive ones, it is all a matter of taste.
At this point though, with three or so cooked ROMs out for the Kaiser, I think it might be a valid question. Most knowledgable people will have tried all three and come to some sort of conclusion.
Yeah really ! why would this piss anybody off ?

Really, a good way to find out what's best (for you) is to try them out. I know, everyone says that. But they say it for a reason.
A great place to find out before flashing is to hop into the individual threads for the specific ROMS and read what's included in each and what comments (good and bad) have been posted. There's only a few ROMs out at the moment, so that won't be hard at all.
Usually when anyone starts a thread like this they just want someone to throw out an easy "The best ROM is...". I am personally using the HTC stock at the moment. I like it for now, others don't. So, you'll have to decide for yourself.
Have fun finding out!

My issue with the question is that if there truly was a "best ROM so far" available, it would be posted as such and probably stickied. The point is that there is no BEST, even with only 3 of them out there. Each is different.
I've tried all three ROMs and seem to be about the same. Only differences are the apps included, and storage space. Check them out and see for yourself.
Kaiser Roms, which is best?
I spent the last two days testing out all the variants of the ROMS out there, and there are pretty much only 4 English versions available.
Here you go, a nice summary of the results in one quick read, but i've not included the links to the files, some work for you
1. the stock HTC one - RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe (uses WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620)
and then 3 or so (because he has sub versions to remove unnecessary programs) variants of the same ROM by Helmi:
2. helmi_Kaiser_1.57.000.1_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - a cooked version based on HTC WWE version but has newer WM6 CE base code (WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908)
3. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - another cooked version of HTC_WWE version but has selectable "activator" directory of cabs that the user can install as desired. Also uses same WM6 CE OS 5.2.1908 as above.
4. Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.03_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe - yet another flavour, but this one has virtually all extra programs removed in a good attempt at freeing up as much memory as possible, it also uses a newer version of WM6 CE OS 5.2.1921.
see Helmi's link for all the info. My hats off to you Helmi.
In the end, I decided to go with the standard version as released by HTC, as I didn't notice much of a difference myself. I have naturally upgraded various cabs and installed my ideal base set of apps to get the machine setup as I prefer. My decision to go this way was based on what I prefer and you should really try the ROMS yourself to make the correct decision, I didn't try every program with each version so perhaps i missed things.
I upgraded the Radio to version 1.27.12.17. -(this doesn't appear to make any difference to my terrible radio reception or the random dropping off of the radio link to GSM, neither does selecting the gsm option under band instead of auto). Thank god that I don't use 3G as there seems to be a real problem with the UMTS radio code. I just hope that I don't have a hardware fault, but I doubt it as numerous other people and links reflect similar issues to mine. We can only hope that HTC will release new RADIO code soon.
So, I wish you well in your endeavor to find "the perfect ROM".....
While I wouldn't have posted "best rom" question (as I agree, that is so subjective), that is a great help SAppie! Thanks!
Agree and Disagree
Not wanting to piss everyone off
I think the OP was requesting ROM test result and comparison, like SAppie comment, as I also agree there's no such thing as 'best ROM'.
Now, there're release with WM6.5 and others. Anyone can update this with newer ROM's comparison?
As a newbie in WM myself, some of the thread has 1000 pages .. to read all will be tough, but sometimes that's the only way. The FAQ and sticky is helpful as starting point for me ..
well i tried athineos os, hyperdragon III, life in 3d and now i will try 6.5 beta but so far the fastest is the athineos and it greaat
This is an old topic with no real constructive merit, so I'm closing it.
Perhaps this thread is what you're after: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399510

Read this article and was wondering if any of the Chefs had been successfull with a beta build.
The guy really needs to get a better camera; the video is horrible. Anyhow, i'm very curious and encouraged to start cooking for Wm6.5
Yea but where can we get a beta of 6.5 to port?
I'm actually surprised Kareem didn't close this thread, there's a very similar thread further down on the page.
Supposedly, the ROM is in the release sticky in the Blue Angel Mobile 6 forum, but it was Anryl or someone who expressed concern over if it was actually the real deal.
Let's just keep one generic WM6.5 Kaiser post alive please

They're a month late:

Judging on the thread title I thought you already had...
You would agree this goes in the Polaris section rather than here, wouldn't you?
moved
I think this is very relevant here. It is a new version of M2D that I think a lot of people would be interested in and would get lost in another forum. Also it is a new version of the touch cruise not the same as the Polaris.

Seconded. This has nothing to do with the Polaris.
So i know that there are a ton of custom roms and all, and they are great, but with wm 6.5 being "released" the other day has anyone gotten a direct port of it from the new tilt 2??? I'm only asking because I want something pure and stable and as official as possible. I've looked but couldn't find anything. Thanks and sorry for the noob question.
There are plenty of 6.5's available choose one and check the chefs builds to see which are the latest official release candidate.
Will never be a direct port as the rez is different etc.....
Closing thread as no need for new thread for a request.
Hi,
I am thinking about upgrading to 6.5 from 6.1. I have look at many of the roms posted but don't really know which one I should select. I really want just a pretty basic one that is reliable. Anyone have any insight?
Welcome to forums
Try to ask on your device section
It´s more likely there someone can point you the right direction
Good luck,
Check & Read the chef's Rom threads/posts in the Kaiser section. Happy Flashing
There are is no official 6.5 rom for the Tilt. Therefore the only available 6.5 roms are custom roms and are all "beta " roms. Read the rom descriptions and read ...read .. read the threads and see what people are saying about the rom.
Most 6.5 chefs prefer to make there roms " cutting edge ". Why waste your time cooking something that is safe and middle of the road. M$ can do that ( can you say boring ? ) Why do you want 6.5 ? If that's all you want is basic and stable , stick with 6.1 There are plenty of great 6.1 roms. If you want your friends to "....ooh and ....ahh " over your new pushed to the limit 6.5 rom then be prepared for a little beta testing and bug chasing. But not much , our Kaiser 6.5 chefs have it down.
