Guys,
I've always had HTC phones, since the original XDA - back in those days there were perhaps only 3/4 cooked roms available and so the choice was fairly simple.
I'm looking to flash my Kaiser with a rom that's speedy, feature packed and has something particularly snazzy about it!! I've had a look at Roms available...and there's about 40!!!!!
What I'm looking for is an unbiased view from someone that has tried a number of roms and can recommend a rom that's a significant improvement over the standard Vodafone WM6.1 rom!
Please, who'll be my saviour!!!
Cheers, Ash
I am in the same boat with you!
I am currently using and liking HyperDragon III Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121)
I was stuck on PDACorner's series for awhile, as well as NATF, but it seems that the newer releases from them are unstable on my phone, in my location.
There is always something that will shine in this ROM and will not exist in that ROM. (Unless you cook up one for yourself - I haven't ventured there yet)
Well I'm gonna go flash today's ROM Your saviour I am not, just adding my $0.02.
ok....here's my non-biased opinion...
but but before that i'd like to tell u that this thread might be closed by the end of my post here...since a mod will tell u that every person has his/her own taste in regards to what rom is best...
now my opinion....
u have to know that we are living in the kaiser manilla craze right now....if u dont know manilla is a new today screen interface which is pretty much eye candy only in my opinion....
if you want a good wm6.1 rom (without manilla)...u can try the new garmin DK6 rom....but since that rom is still new and might have sum bugs...i suggest u search for garmin DK3 series which comes in 1-naked 2-light 3-full versions...just to get a feel of what his roms are about...
garmin's roms are one of (if not) the best wm6.1 roms for kaiser and are 99.5% bug free...
thats my 2 cents
note: im sure u know this already but please dont forget to either CID unlock or flash hard-spl before flashing these roms!!!

Thanks guys for your feedback so far - this thread definitely shouldn't be closed, a forum is for discussion about personal views, thats what we're doing!
I'll have a check of the Garmin roms then, sounds interesting - let me know how you guys get on flashing (LOL) - anyone else?
Garmins new DK6 is out and is very fast u must try it, his roms are simply great as are many chefs but his seam to be the smoothest
Hey there,
originally i was running T-mobiles wm6.0.
From there i have moved straight to:
[3 November 08] HyperDragon Jade OS 5.2.19974 Build 19974.1.2.8
which, in my oppinion, is a lot smoother and adds a lot more usability to the phone (E.g, i never had voice command on 6.0, Manilla didnt work as it should, skipping to a certain letter in your contacts list is now easier due to an iphone-esque side menu etc.)
Ok, so manilla is eye candy, may negate some of the tweaks and updates done for speed increase, but at the end of the day, over a standard ROM, its still faster.
The only issue(s) i can say i have had is that the touch screen seems a lot less responsive, and the speed gains were only really noticable when i used Kaisertweak and changed all the caches to as large as they would go, but it is still a very good and stable build IMO. Oh, and manilla doesnt support landscape view (although all other normal elements such as texting, contacts etc do)
I'm probably going to update within the next few days, there is a manilla update in the latest one (oooo) but that can wait a little bit i guess.
just my £0.02
i get kind of nervous with cooked roms... had a few bad experiences where i'd be hard=resetting and rebuilding 2 or 3 times in a day.
i put in the latest WM6.1 ROM posted here... had a few issues that needed to be resolved, but otherwise am very happy with it.
True to Form:
Best is very Subjective and it is impossible to have an "unbiased" opinion. Everyone has their own favorite.

Hello guys,
I need you help.
I'm planning to buy a HTC phone pretty soon (gonna buy it on ebay)
Currently I have to decide between the TyTN Hermes (not Kaiser) and the HTC p4350 Herald.
I simply don't know which phone to pick...
I'd like to use the phone for calendar, to-do, w-lan.... and in general I want to mod the phone to my needs
The pros for the Tytn Hermes are:
400 MhZ and UMTS
but as I read, there are ppl having various problems with that phone...
I'd be glad if ppl could reply and tell me about their experiences with these phones (or make another suggestion).
Thanks alot
chbe26
P.S.: I hope this is posted in the right area, it not please move it
you should look for threads in the hermes/herald section either comparing the two or just giving you a wide view of the phone.
I use a Hermes, but would recommend the Kaiser for the extra ram, and the possibility of running Android on it. If you want to run a fancy shell like m2d, then the extra ram is a must.
Also, (while not wanting to put down the fine chefs working on Hermes), there are a lot more people cooking for the Kaiser, and I think the driver issues have all been solved now.

Hello
Tomal has requested for us to vote if we are interested in a WM 6.5 rom by him, so let him know by voting now please. Just remember this is still a very buggy rom and not yet on official release so it may be stopped!!!

Yes I realise that, but I thought it was more important to see how people felt about WM 6.5 in general first. If Tomal can make it run well already then Great, but there isn't much point if people are happy to wait if you catch my drift?
Regards
Jay
I'd love to see a new wm6.5 rom.
His 6.1 roms are perfect as is!
Ummmmmm......interest for WM6.5 getting increased!
Tomal WM 6.5 Rom - A good one!
Hi!
I think Tomal should tweak this ROM and make it more useful. Have been using the ROM and started to loving it. Though it has bugs and need often resets yet it can be made much more better with some effort.
Tomal, please do spare sometime and make it better for us to use.

Tomal WM 6.5 beta
I voted for "Wait until it is more stable", because the effort Tomal has to bring, is useless IMO. This is a beta-version and not that stable right now as users want it to be.
I use my cell phone for private things & business. So I need a fast and stable ROM like Tomals great 6.1'ers.
I have no 2nd Uni, only for playing and testing where I can say "Wow...look here: WM 6.5 Beta. I'm the king..."
Thanks Tomal for your great ROMs, but IMHO you should wait, without waisting too much time for a buggy ROM. THe time will come, but not now...
can Tomal stop to play with WM6.5 ?
I think he will get fever if he did
... i hope i'm right
if Tomal can make it stable why we should wait ?
wm 6.5
If you please,Tomal, make the best 6.5 rom for our old universal
Yes!
Yes, definately interested. Tomal v8.5 is one of the greatest pieces of software ever crafted. If you could apply that sorta magic, speed, responsiveness to WM 6.5, wow. Uni rocks!
WM 6.5 is of course already set for finger friendly UI, decent browser and all that, so you even wouldn't need to build much custom touch focused menus and that sorta thing. Hope to see this!
Just my damn screen broke. Lol. Flex cable musta snapped. Working on it...Damn, my other is a JAM, but I miss the keyboard for IM.
See the first look of 6.5 on pocketpcthoughts.com. Looks very neat.
Reflexion:
Why mostly the newbies ask for a 6.5?
Why they refer to Tomal as if they were old friends?
Just my personal reflexion, no ofense to anyone...
Good day,
LET´S PUT SOME VOTES! WE ARE JUST EVEN WITH KAISER
Yesterday WM 6.5 was officially presented in Barcelona, Spain. The question "When will WM 6.5 show up?" was answered by Ballmer with "Somewhere this year".
I hope Tomal will stay at his WM 6.1-projects. But in the end it is his own decision.

Because it is a leaked beta?! Spending time on final versions is more reasonable IMO.
Well... now that Tomal is working on 6.5 and beta1 is out this poll become usless I think
No ofense of course!

While I'll continue to try out the various 6.5-esque builds, I won't be planning to use them for prime-time until *after* a final-version 6.5 of *something* has been released and reverse-engineered.
IMHO, while development/testing time isn't a waste, because it will build experience with what's possible, at least, it certainly is let's say 'naive' to expect to have a fully-working, perfect port of something that's only in beta to start-off with!
Remember - the final WM6.5 hasn't even been released to the manufacturers yet!

The 'naive' quote wasn't directed at you, apologies if you thought it was, but at all those 'newbies' who seem to be continually voting for tomal, etc, to keep on going with 6.5 ROMs *now* <sarcasm>and where is the video-call</sarcasm>
Whatever happened to the FAQ that was mooted for this board, which would start off with "NO, there is NO working video-call on WM 6.x !!"...

It would be a pity if Tomal works on an instable OS. So I voted to wait until a more stabel one comes up.
When it does, Tomal should work on it immediately, so I can have a 6.5 ROM the day after its release
ok, ok, I will let him work on it as long as he needs. Just hope he can make a professional ROM from the overblown funny ROM which has much too much programs in it.
(ROM designers forgot the difference between OS and separate programs; I would love to see a really bare OS with much file memory free so I can install my own programs.)

Wrong forum mate
This is Universal forum
Anyway thanks...
I have a AT&T Fuze, with the Fuzeberry overlay. I enjoy using the TouchFLO 3D, since the WM6.1 really isn't finger friendly at all.
I saw the article on Endgadget explaining how to flash my device to 6.5, but then I read a load of reviews saying it really wasn't all that good. I then found out about Spb Mobile Shell, but then read negative reviews about that.
Main thing I'm looking for is this: What would a Newb like myself need to do to really optimize my device? New radio roms? Upgrade to 6.5? Leave it at 6.1 but upgrade the TouchFLO (can I do that?)?
I'm not really into a lot of the code tweaking like it seems most people here are. I just want a rock-stable, fast phone that can do what I need it to. Thanks in advance!

Cool, I would suggest you look at the RRE roms...nice fast stable...the 6.1 roms are going to be your most steady, and there are some good 6.5 roms...read through the threads to find out what fits best for you...as far as the radios are concerned....there is a new radio out...but here again, make sure you read through the radio thread to see what works best for you...there are lots of tutorials you can use, so have fun!
Read, read, read, read some more. When you think you have it figured out keep reading.
you will never stop learning here
but go ahead and go to 6.5 much more finger friendly, really not as buggy as some say
most roms have the new touch flo
im on sheps 6.5 with touch flo from rhodium
just remember to hardspl
ok wat up people .i have got an LG Incite on ma hands running on winmo 6.1(almost the same as an Omnia right?) Well, i wanted touch flo 3D on my phone because i love the interface ! how can i do this?and i mean the actual touch flo 3D,not 2D.Thanks alot guys! --oh and can i have links or watever--
