I'm affraid that there will not be a best ROM for a long time as everyone has different needs (software etc) that can cause bugs with other parts of a ROM and these are addressed and solved by many ways (reg, .cab, new rom versions) Your gonna have to find the best one for you and stick with it until a rom of interest surfaces for you. All the great ROM cookers and bug analysis guru's provide great detail on their posts to what version it is, whether it's a new build, what radio is included, what bugs they have addressed, what software they have put on by default plus optional.
Keep an eye on this to find your ideal rom but we all have to sacrifice something...
But i hope you find your ideal rom and give credit where credits due as these guys and girls work hard to give us what they do!!
Enjoy and be part of the solution..
Ps.
My best rom so far is oem 02.02.02. It misses a few features like automated pushmail and has a small memory leak that needs a soft-reset from time to time. But has more of what i do need. Still looking for my Ideal rom.
Happy searching and posting...

Best WM6 rom for the universal (im using mda-pro NL) is in my opinion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306552
regards..
a>

like as mentioned many times bevore, if jou want to have a ROM that is stable and no problems than you sould go back to WM 5.
WM6 is still in BETA, meaning we are all testing and experimenting.
I'm not offending you, but all of us are downloading a lot of ROMs and trying them. There is no perfect WM6, and if you spend a little time reading the forums you would allready know this answer.
There were more people who asked this question and the all got the same answer.
As said don't get me wrong but somethimes I just think the forom is getting to quick spam posts like this.
Any way, I hope you'll find a appropriated ROM that will work for you.

Thanks...

I just got my new TyTn today, so I started browsing the Hermes forum and grabbed a base OS to start playing with. I wasn't overly pleased with what i was seeing. Pride and ego seem to be the prevailant theme, and I hope it never infects this group.
It reminded me that I want to thank everyone for being excellent contributers. I've found nearly everyone curtious and very helpful . On a scale of 1 to 10, I rank this forum as a 9+. I can't say the same for others
I'll still maintain the Kitchen thread, though I'll have to rely on input for the OS improvements since I won't have any hardware to flash. Hopefully it's nearly done. If there's a big issue, feel free to PM me if an needed.
*sigh* Is a faster phone worth it? Damn, I hope so...

Are you keeping your wizard? I did and tradee off every day.

Already have a buyer - gotta offset the cost of the new toy

Hey Matt, thanks for all of your hard work on the ROMS and kitchens and good luck with the new phone.

Regarding the Hermes forum...i think that as long as you don't ask any questions at all, and know a little bit of this and that...it could be pretty funny...in a sick sadistic way
Considering you own a hermes now...maybe you want to take a look at my Hermes kitchen and suggest a few changes .. considering i don't have one...and some people reported errors...some didn't so i wouldn't know what's wrong or how to improve it.

That wizard of you must of worth a fortune... like a Stradivarius violin
It`s the device that made the superb kitchen possible and solved us endless bugs...
It should of been sold as chef mattk`s device not like just another wizard.
Thank You for your contribution, i am amazed how much work you did.
YOU did bring us closer, because you shared everything you made this forum so much better.
Thank You again!

My next phone is the Athena.

It is the Core kitchen adapted for the Hermes...a little step more advanced.
The latest is the Artemis Core Kitchen..which is the more advanced(couple of bug fixed and some remakes)...and i will have to make one that will work for all (well..not all but most....you know what i mean).
BTW...you're lucky ...i want a hermes too
Have fun with your new toy

i flashed a hermes for a buddy yesteday and must say the process was alot longer but not all that difficult. there are some nice roms out for the hermes, but i agree that forums there are almost worse than what they were here last year when some of the wizard chefs were leaving

Ditto on thanks for all your hard work and patience with people. I also have a Hermes so will see you on the other side...

I agree, it's WAS bit more of a process. BUT - I already have it to where there's LESS steps to cook and flash a Hermes than the way the bepe based kitchens do And it's only my first few hours playing

Congrats on the new phone, matt. Sorry to lose a good cook.. Thanks for all the help... Still see you around though as I browse all forums to see all the gadgets here...

Hey Matt, thank you for all the hard work and personal time you spent to bring good ROM's and kitchens here. I have been using Pandora v3.2 since 6/22 and haven't had a need need or much of a desire to flash another ROM.
Enjoy your new toy.

Sorry to see you go...
Congratulations on the new Hermes. Thanks for all you have done to this part of the forum. Good luck cooking for those lucky Hermes people who now have a great person with them!

Hey Matt....sorry to see you go also
I switch to at&t a month a go and I've been using my Blackjack. I didn't think I was gonna like it but its working out really well. WM5 , Quick and reliable though .
My next device is that Kaiser...I initially wanted the Tytn but decided to wait.
I'm selling my device cuz I'm a flash junky.
Thanks for the ROMz and hard work.
You've been great to deal with .... see ya around the forum.

Thanks Matt
Man,
Now I have to get a Hermes.
Anyways thanks for all the great input and help. But please do stop by once in a while to check up on things.

Ranju's Latest V7.6 Rom
Dear Ranju, You did an excellent job on cooking this rom. I use my Qtek 9000 for my companies need which I am a heavy window mobile smartphone user which I had previously Jason's latest rom for the last few months which had two or three small bugs. I was under the assumption that Jason had the best rom on the forum which I read over the last few months everybody else's cooked rom on the forum and I was very hesitant on changing to a different rom. Before I switched over to your lastest rom Ranju I kept reading over the forum that "Ranju's Rom" was the best over all the other cooked windows mobile v6.0 & v6.1 roms. Everything at this time is working smoothly with no problems at all at this time. I have only been using your last rom now for about 1 week. The only small problem that I am having since I had my device upgraded a few months ago by PocketPCTechs from 64mb to 128mb of ram out of Fountain Valley, CA is by using your rom which supports the 128mb is my two battery's are draining faster than when I was using Jason's latest rom but his rom would only recognize 64mb of ram. My two batteries are still pretty new. I use a Cameron Sino 1750mah Battery & a Dynapack 3800mah Battery. I have read all the possible things that I have to do on the forum to cut back on draining the battery but I can live with this. I can recharge battery always when it goes below 60%. I am still testing your rom and have not tried the entire features yet. Once I fully get done trying out all your features I will sent out another detailed post on the forum so other readers can see this also. Keep up the great job that you are doing Ranju. Your hard work is greatly appreciated which takes many, many hours to cook up a Rom as great as this one. Once I get entirely done testing out all your current features in your current V 7.6 rom and am 100% satisified, I will make a donation.
Sincerely yours,Haven Park West, Inc.

helllo Ranju.
just have to chime in here, and also send you many many thanx from switzerland;-)
without your excelent ROMs I would still be wanting to replace my Uni somehow.
But with theese absolut great updates of yours, my Uni is still running strong.
thanx;-)
keep it up

Hi Ranju,
Just one more greeting from Spain.
Thanks a lot for all your lovely job for all of us.
You make all of us a very happy people.
Please follow on this way.
Just.... T H A N K S

Ranju have made a wonderful work indeed.
I'm also grateful for his free hard work.
I'm only sad all Devs abandoned the WM6.x Video Call project. Beast is the only one claiming is working on it, but he seems not having time to work on it.
It's a shame most developers abandoned our lovely universal, but until now I just can´t find a replacement for my old Uni...

A bit pathetic lol.

Hi thenext1,
Excellent work on Retro PPC. Keep up the good work!

Well done Ranju!

Rom Cooking

Hello to All,
I am starting this thread in belief that ALL you genius minds will give me the support, courage and HELP in putting me to the direction of making a customised ROM. At present, I have read a lots of WIKIs and Guides on "Rom Cooking". Even got kaiserkitchen AND Core Pro downloaded and installed. Could you please help me out in some basics here as to this kaiserkitchen and/or core pro are the right tools and softwares to start and what else do I need (In Details) as step by step. In Rom Cooking Instructions, I am unable to locate the nk.nbf file let alone extracting a ROM. As I mentioned in one of my posts earlier today that I am on holidays and would like to take this opportunity to contribute towards development of a Rom which would please most of us. I can promise that even though I am a slow learner but very devoted and very optimistic about this and got a whole week for me to start it off.
All the help is grately appreciated. I maybe a newbie but wasn't everybody else once. Hope to hear from YOU so we can get started.
Best Regards.
By the way, I have Kaiser130 and currently running HTC Official 6.1 which to be honest, does not please me much. I liked Dutty's WM6.1 Build 209 better.

Manila interface
I wonder can any body cook a ROM with manila 3D interface for kaiser

I think its time for redbandana to step into the kitchen as well. Although, my roms will probably be awful.

I`m trying to mix up some juice myself, but its comprehensive for me.. I really need to put up a day to day schedule as I find myself derailed all the time. While fixing one thing I read up on a new cool thing whit aditional 3 new problems to solve and thats how my tracks been spinning for the last 4 weeks.
No rom, but daaaam many cool .cab`s laying around

I think my focus will be on some of the older builds with an up to date twists. I am transferring all my files to an xp machine as we speak. Vista just confronts too many issues.

I should prolly get out of the mix and start scratch myself ... Pitty I am aiming for a Diamond or I would buy a 2nd Kaiser to just knock around on.

Uni Lovers, Our Developers ... Please Enter

i'm posting this thread 2 c whose with me in the idea of building the real ultimate rom for our UNIs
i mean WM6.1 with VT, speed, stability, A2DP, new BT stack ... everything
we have some great minds here guys. Tomal, Luca, VNint and Cotulla
if u guys just contact and think together, I'm sure u'll do it
So, i'm thinking of making a new thread where u guys participate ... like (think out loud) in this thread, and not just the four of u, i mean anyone can add his idea.
U can add registry keys where there's a problem to think about, add cabs .... anything
then finally the rom we're all waiting for is cooked
I want to see some response here guys .. and i want to know what our developers think too
Cheers

well... every develper or cooker has his own visions how a rom have to look like... it's not only bout the design... it's also settings and possibilities.
so i don't think it'll happen and i even don't think it shall happen. cuz when i don't like one rom i take another one and give it a try
just my 2 cents...

It may be worth doing as they have on the Athena site, and start with a clean stable base rom witha large flashdisk so people can add there own cab's and software so others can try it
How about this software to enhance mobile shell
regards
jay

and not only does everyone bring their own flavor to it, like i use my uni like a laptop so i hate things like flash disks and want not, and although im in the US and cannot utilize VT i also know that it wasnt working seince 5.0 had a betaish go in 6.0 and something i saw in efn's 6.1 but i know that it will never really be a reality in 6.1
because every cook makes their own thing, my two best working roms was efn's 2.20 and cotulla's 20757

I think the ultimate ROM has already created by Tomal v8.5!!
Time ago this subject was proposed but I think it´s dificult to get all masters together because their times and ocupations.
Anyway good luck

duly seconded...

Less than 1% of the peoples in the community has interest for VT so it will NEVER be a reality for Uni.
But may be you can bring some brilliant idea in other areas, where most people has interest of it. For instance, "big storage" idea brought by Cotulla.
This is really amazing idea. Somehow he has managed to resize/reformat the DOC (M-Systems chip) area.
I've couple of PM's to consider it. But I'll not work on this unless Cotulla allows others to work on. But here is the principle:
The NK.EXE (of Cotulla's rom) is responsible for resizing the DOC. You can use any ROM once the resizing is done and the storage area will be same (extended) for every rom. But you need to make sure that the rom image you're using is fitting into the allocated area or it will be resulting an unsuccessful (rom) update.
Furthermore, someone can build a tool to do the DOC resizing/repartitioning as Mamaich has build one for BA couple of years back.
cheers

Thanx 4 replying everyone
there's another idea though
how about they don't make the rom together, but just solve the problems together and everyone of them just ontinue building his roms the way he likes
so, we'll get a variety of well cooked roms
like what Tomal said about the storage idea of cotulla. I think we all like it and want it in every rom
they may solve other robelms too, like the speed issues. I really don't like it when my friend's Magician is faster than mine (believe me thats true) in applications an games
and hopefully they will also get the VT working cause its just not fair that we have it and can't use it even if alot of us are not interested
BTW, Tomal, I don't understand what u said about cotulla's storage thing

For mee too Tomal's 8.5 Standard edition is almost perfect. My standard battery pack can withstand for 4 days now(Approx 30 mins GSM calls a day). Stable and fast.

Every developer has his own opinion what is good and what is bad...
If you make a "perfect" ROM. What does that mean? Take four devs and everyone has his own idea for one feature. The "perfect" ROM will be a mixture of four minds. And this one will be crap. Just because it will be the minimal consensus...

I agree.
And every developed ROM some users like, and others don't. Some stick to the previous ROM by a developer, and other users prefer other ROM's... That's what I love about xda-developers is the diversity. I see others enjoying ROM's they like. I'd hate to enforce my likes on others. We all have different needs and uses for our UNI's. I'm sure those that need VT would like to see something developed for them - even if the rest of us disliked the ROM for other reasons.
The ROM I choose is the best for me... it's not necessarily the best ROM (...although I vote it is )
We have speed and stability... Bring on diversity! Let's keep the Uni colourful, let's have the choice! (Where's the button for "freedom of choice!" ).
However with developers that we have/had... Beasty, Leo, VNInt, luca15thebig, Tomal, EFN, FrankZ, No3ulla, rDosti, ThingOnASpring, JWRights, nncuong, PhamQuang, minhantratan... others I forget to mention... I think development continues with no worries. I'm amazed at what ROM I'm looking at on my second-hand Uni!! (considering it's upbringing from WM5, a sub-£100 machine, and no prospect of an upgrade).
nagoo1, what exactly is it you're needing the Uni to do?

i need it to have VT , to respond faster and to have a rom with no issues
and i want it to be smaller (u guys don't deliver this kind of service, do u ?!!!)

VT???
I must have missed it, but what h... is VT? What does it stand for and what does it add to our Universal?
