I know many of you may think this is based on opinion, but personally I'm new at the scene and just tried Faria's WWE WM6 ROM (the real thing) featured at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762 .
My original reason for installing was cause my 8125's OS started lagging lately for some reason (it would take a few seconds for menus and items to show up instead of being instant). In addition, battery life was HORRIBLE (would die in around 2 days). So I went and downloaded Faria's WWE WM6 ROM (the real thing). Installation was easy, the ROM worked great, my battery life greatly improved (even though I overclocked to 247 with cpuscaling at 143).
Unfortunately, I messed around too much and accidentally killed my phone application , not to mention the OS has started to lag (probably because I installed too many things?).
Either way, I'm looking to download a new ROM. I want something that has all the features of Faria's HTC Wizard Rom (the real thing), and more. I don't care too much about extra space, because frankly I don't need it. I just want something that's fast and feature-packed (and includes everything from Faria's ROM). Any tips or suggestions? Help would really be appreciated, as I've just gone through 3 ROMS that I didn't like. Thanks.
try explore rom it prob more of the lines your looking for
Try this one.

I have tried many different ROM's, I keep going back to this one. It's the most stable for me.
Core 2.0n
For me, the best WM6 rom is the Core 2.0n (based on XPlore 1.0)
Thephone is very fast (boot in 35 seconds), no bugs, working well with TomTom6.
I'm only waiting a full French WM6 rom
for months of WM6.0 use; Faria is the best for stable.
im testing Pandora 1.05 right now.
From all of the ROMs that I have used. I think Faria is the best one. it's very stable.
pfff i think its best for me:
base version of Pandora:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307080
and core 2.0 of coz.
Faria's overloaded imo.
i like reloaded
Faria The Real Thing is most stable for me
soft reset everyday, to remove the slow down due to any memory leaks
and I'm gonna buck the trend here, wm6 is SLOW. use a 2.26 if you want a quick one
two day battery life sounds good some people think one day is good others, several days (but it depends how much you use it).

5.2.1413 fast
Hi,
i have been using Xplore 2.0n and it is great.
Its near Full Vanilla, but it supports AD2P and most of the basics.
The new 5.2.1413 build is FAAASSTTT, and there are FULL VANILLA releases, nevertheless, i was unable to set AD2P.
If there is a fix for ad2p, i will surely switch to 5.2.1413 because it is way way faster than Xplore 2.0n

I agree. i have been on this fourum reading for a while now. I recently desided to become a member.

i belive by far the best yet....
I know you chefs are always on the grind trying to make better.

I have a quick question...
Which one is newer/better?
Faria's WWE WM6 Rom ?
Or Faria's HTC Wizard Final ROM with Pro Kitchen?

The ROM Kitchen is the newer version of Faria's rom, and its vanilla, but you can add stuff into it. My Crossbow Reloaded (link below) is a cooked version of this rom with stuff added to it and a few fixes I put into it.
As far as I can tell there are 5 WM6 roms, making it pretty hard to decide which one to use.
Theres Phils alpha and beta versions which both appear to be cooked versions of the Vox rom? And both have a high CPU bug resulting in bad battery life.
THeres the perfect english version, don't know where that came from.
And the sticky post with a HTC beta rom, sticky because...?
And also the official dopod rom, which some people say is the best choice.
So I guess I'm not the only one confused about which one to use. Guess the dopod one is the best bet at the moment.
None of the actual ROMS are based on HTC VOX. NONE.
All are based on an INTERNAL UNIT BUILD...
I've tested them, and the best is " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" by andot. It has some bugfixes (eg: WMP, MMS..) and other TWEAKS, that you will NOT FIND in other ROMS (eg: Automatic Time, Unlock Clock, etc etc). So, right now, it's the best build.
No CPU overload problem, it was fixed. (and btw, it can be fixed manually by removing a key from registry, a2dpfix related key)

There is no official DOPOD ROM. That name is misleading. I am guessing the cooker meant that his ROM is for the DOPOD variant of HTC Tornado.
I'm agree with DSF " Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition" 20070807 is for the moment ( 07/08/2007 23h31) the best ROM for WM6 on Tornado.
Not being self-whoring or anything here, but pretty much ALL of the major issues in my ROM have been sorted in a test build I build today, expect a release sometime next week.
AFAIK, all the WM6 builds are based on my ALPHA build, however I will be porting a HTC S710 XIP and IMGFS when time and resources permit, so we'll have something like an WM6 RTM build for our tornado's...
Phil
Yes, without Phil's alpha build, we have nothing about the WM6 for Tornado, Phil did a great work!
Thanks andot, also thanks for some of your great work I've included in my test BETA2 ROM
Phil
its nice to see two brilliant cookers helping together! nyahahaha!
brilliant + brilliant = awesome rom!!!!! am i right?
If we help each other, the world has got to be a better place by the end of it Maybe not create a ROM together, but definitely share what we have and know

that is the whole idea between open source software as well, such as linux. it doesn't mean that you must create a single rom but you must use each other's wisdom to perfect your own work.

You are right, Windows Mobile 6 for Tornado Perfect English Edition 20070807 is the best at the moment. I have tried all these ROMs on my Dopod and now decided to stay with this ROM. Thank you all for your hard works and effots.
Just one small question. Anybody try the WWE version released right before Tornado Perfect English Edition ? My Dopod seems to have better batery life on WWE Rom than Perfect English Edition ROM. I have done a comparation test in the same amount of time (8 hours). In WWE ROM, my phone losts just less than 10% of battery but on Perfect English Edition ROM (v20070807), my phone losts up to 20% (even I used Automatic CPU speeds Mode in Tornado Power Control, saw the CPU speed is lower to 132MHz, closed phone and didn't use phone within these 8 hours).
Can anyboday help to explain to me why and how to solve this matter ?
same here. but without power control. in about 12 hours i have lost about 30%
Phil, what font size are you usign for SMS? I hope it is the same as your Beta build because the 'Perfect Tornado ROM' uses a very small SMS font
I flashed back to the WWE version this afternoon. It's more stable and somehow has less power consumption (I can't put my fingers on the exact reason for this.)

With the V3 i lost 8% between 00:00 and 09:14 it's very good (ps: I don't use tornado power control, just automitkeylock, xbar are running)
andot said:

I have no idea about what application causes this matter, just use what it has in your Perfect ROM. Can Automatic CPU speed mode in Tornando Power Control application cause this matter ?
Perhaps the automatic CPU power reduced the clock speed when not in use, hence giving you more power, that should be what happened
Using the WWE build my current power draw is 48 mAmp. (SDA) What do you guys get using other builds? (use celeTask to check)
Can some one suggest which Rom out there is the most stable and fastest eg: NBD 9.2 or Octavia 5 etc

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.

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)

What do you mean by "lighter" version?
IMHO, the stock ROM is the quickest ROM out. However, not by much. The custom roms out there (MightyMike's, NRG's, and many, many others, are pretty quick). Now, this says a lot, especially when you consider these ROMS include content designed to run on other phones having more CPU power & MEMORY.
If you're looking for low battery consumption, I would stick to the Stock Rom and use power saving tweaks: reducing backlighting, setting updates, such as send/receive, etc., to manual, and other tweaks. Just search here & you will find tons. You can also search at ppcgeeks.com for power saving tweaks.
Personally, I have gone through about 6 different custom ROMS and they are mostly the same regarding speed and battery consumption. Since I juice my TP2 whenever it's available (car, home, office), I rarely have issues. I'm on Energy's latest Dusk, and it's amazing.
You just might want to experiment with the different ROMS out there and see which one you prefer.
Good luck...and have fun!

I agree with NlogN. I have been toying with flashing a new ROM but I can't really find anything 'wrong' with the stock ROM. The only thing I think would be fun is to play with 6.5 and the new touchflo interface. Only thing holding me back is I don't know if you can use any of the ROM's for the Rhodium in landscape with the keyboard. That's the ROM I'm looking for but haven't seen. Do some youtube searches for 'TP2 ROM' or 'Touch Pro 2 ROM' and you'll find a bunch of videos that show Nrgz, MightyMike and Juicy. Check out the vid's and see what you think. Let us know what you decide!!
If you go with a ROM running WM6.5 and Sense 2.1, Landscape is fully functional. In fact, the MightyROM 12.6 is built off of the ROM extracted from the USCC TP2 with 6.5 and 2.1. It is not until you move to Manila 2.5 that landscape issues appear. Even WM 6.5.x works in landscape.
Thanks for the tip CeLIgUy!!! Now I think I'll give MightyROM a try. From experience, Verizon will take longer than usual to release their customized version of 6.5 and I'm tired of waiting. Now back to YouTube for a MightyROM review.....
Your welcome Sweena, and good luck!
Mighty Rom for sure.
I was running NRG's before, and I had 40mbs of ram OR LESS at all times. I couldn't run opera some times.
With Might I get 80 mb on his 6.5 version, 6.5.3 Starts at 100 mbs free I THINK ( dont hold me to it).
Sense 2.5 both of them.
Edit: I think NRG's Roms have a higher page pool, that eats up most of the ram, while Mightys dosent.
Mighty's is just as fast.
Another vote for the stock ROM. With a few cab tweaks, it's the fastest and most stable ROM I've run

MightyROM sense 2.1 version 1206 screams, has no issues, can use portrait and landscape and has tons of support, not that you'll need it at all. Just read the first few posts for his ROM on PPCGeeks and you'll be fine. If you want to stay with the stock rom , the link above has a file that was built with multiple tweaks in it and is highly recommended. It contains most tweaks you would want for speed, memory, battery life, etc. I would recommend it if you want to stay on the stock ROM and if you want a very smooth, fast, stable 6.5 sense 2.1 ROM that is basically stock, go with Mighty's 1206 version. He also does have 3 project ROM's he's working on one with 2.5, one 6.5.X and one that merges both, but I think the 6.5.x is the most stable with landscape and MMS of the project ROMs. Have fun.
Just found this rom. Looks sweet.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=102276
I find I switch between Mighty's and Energy roms. I also find that they are faster, often times more reliable (few memory issues), and have more goodies than the stock rom. Plus they provide updated HTC changes, such has the facebook fixes and whatnot.
Argh... I was planning on using a cooked ROM, but I want to know if any of them have Office Mobile included. Document editting on the go is kind of necessary for me...

Alright cool. Thank you.
With that out of the way, what's the most stable custom-ROM out there?
If you go with anything that simply runs 6.5 with sense 2.1, you should find stability to be a non-issue. Once you move into the realm of more experimental stuff, like windows 6.5.x and/or manila 2.5 you may loose some stability. So just dig through the ROM's and just try different ones. I waited until I had a day off work before I did my first TP2 flash and tried about a dozen ROM's. XDA is really more of a GSM site, go to PPCGeeks.com for a more robust selection of CDMA ROM's.

There is no such thing as "best ROM"
All will depend on your personal needs.
What is best to me not necessary should be for you.
Said that, enter to ROM section and read a bit to know users comments, then make your choice
On my opinion Tomal 8.2, 8.5 and 8.9 are the more stable and great performance, but it´s up to you to find out your "best"
Or...............
Or you can check every members signature where they proudly announce their favourite ROM!
but i dunno whether my jasjar is suitable for 64 mb rom or 128 mb rom
If Uni is original (never sent to upgrade Ram) you have and original 64Mb Universal

Best ROM for iMate JasJar (HTC Universal, Exec, ...)
I would have to agree that Tomal's 8.5 is the best of the posted ROMs. Not perfect, but it is very stable, good performing, yet fresh enough to run most new apps.
Above 8.5, there's all this annoying stuff in the UI, and performance and memory usage take a hit. Below 8.5, certain niceties like drag-scrolling disappear, the dialer looks ugly, and fundamental apps such as Microsoft's Facebook won't install.
There are a few non-Tomal ROMs out there - one of them, a WM5-based version, is really very good, and I used it for weeks. But for me, 8.5 with WM6.1 is the best compromise.
It looks like I'll be staying with this ROM, and staying with my iMate JasJar, until a similar or better big-keyboard big-screen phone running Windows Phone 7 becomes cheap enough.
Cheers

First I installed luca16thebig's light ROM 6.1, I found it really awesome as it was really fast and stable in the beginning. But as the time passed I realized that my battery is draining a lot quicker and also the mobile started to RESTART itself once every hour. The last thing which forced me to reflash the device was when I wanted to configure GPRS and no matter what I did it didn't want to connect.
Afterards I installed "TML v8.7.1 21028 regular 64MB", and so far everything is working fine, though its just been 2 days. GPRS is good and battery time is better.
Things I am not liking is the non availability of MMS inside the ROM and also I would really want to disable Auto Time Sync feature somehow.
Apart from this I believe it is so good. But I will flash "TML89_WM61_21048_REGULAR_64MB" or "TML89_WM61_21048_LITE_64MB" tomorrow just to check whats new in there
I hope it helped someone
Have a look through ROM thread, you can disable timesync by deleting from REG startup. MMS can be downloaded as cab, use Dutty's - I've posted it somewhere.
Thanks for the prompt response, I am using Arcsoft - do you think Dutty's is better ? I am going to search the thread for Timesync registry hack..
