Which ROM is the fastest

Hello,
Since there are so many ROMS out there and some dated as far as last year, can anyone give me advice on the fastest available ROM with least pork fat in it?
For example my only use for the Kaiser is Exchange email and web browsing nothing else. I make calls, SMS etc from my iPhone and only use this phone for exchange email. So with this in mind what advice can you guys give me as to the fastest ROM available for this?
I currently have Duttys ROM of March 8th.
Much appreciated.

Why not check out the other thousand threads that asked the same question

I think Alex's is fast, so is Blackwood, Dutty, Panosha, Q-Mobile, Schaps, Sleuth, Vega etc, etc.
Do you know how I know this? Because I tried them all - instead of posting useless duplicate threads because I'm too damn lazy to do the work myself or my time is more valuable than yours etc.
Or, here's a tip, how about doing a search for some of the benchmarks which have been posted?

Why do people have the need to ask and not search?

First try all cooked Rom's and you will find it ...
dont just ask for opinion.
for me,i like dutty rom's all of it,but for now i'm using Hyper dragon

Maybe someone can run some bench marks on my cooked ROM's I don't think anyone ever has and I would love to know how they match up to other on the forum If you are going to run a benchmark on my rom's please benchmark the one I am about to release in about 10 minutes
thanks

As a matter of fact: I DID test your 3.03 ROM. Compared to others it wasn't that superfast, at least: according to SPB Benchmark. But than again: this test doesn't seem to be very reliable for WM 6.1.
Will also test your new ROM (OR WAS THAT A JOKE???)

Too much *****ing
This is a forum. People should be allowed to ask questions and ask the opinions of others. Some people are far to eager to do others down.
There are new ROMs coming out all the time. I have tried at least 20 since Christmas.
If he had done a search to find an answer to his question it probably would not have any relevant answers.
It is a perfectly valid question and as a member of this forum I for one do not mind answering it.
In my opinion . . . there is not much to choose between all of the 6.1 ROMs for speed. However, if you are not looking for all the whistles and bells that the Kaiser can offer, go for a Lite ROM. Certainly go for one without the Cube. If you ever intend to use video calling, go for the latest Dutty 6.1 ROM.
There, that wasn't too painful and hopefully I helped someone who asked a valid question in a public forum.

I hope this isn't a joke! Austin, We;re waitin!

@cgjones - I agree there is too much bashing in the forum. My momma always told me that if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
That being said....while this is a valid question to ask (what is the fastest ROM), it has been asked before...and not just once or twice.
This thread could have been easily avoided, or at least made a little more specific, by doing a simple search.
@raaj - use the search feature (the Google one, not the built in forum search) and type in "Kaiser fastest ROM" and you will find lots of threads, opinions, etc.

Thank You cgjones. There are too many smartasses around that post just to get their post count up and with egos I might add. For all you smartasses or rather asses I should say I have done searches but notice I ask for some particulars that would suit my needs? A search doesnt bring answers to my questions hence my question and opinions in the first place. There are FAST ROMS and there are even fast ROMS without all the junk. Thats what I wanted to know rather than do a search of the hundreds of threads here which I might add are confusing.

No its not a joke GF came over so things got put on hold as far as rom cooking boys and girls sorry I'll finish and release it sometime tomorrow night Its going to be based on the new 3.10 rom but with .dlls from the 3.08 rom the graphics on the 3.10 are super fast

Head to head comparisons/review of major cooked ROMs - anyone done one?

Hello all,
Having recently upgraded my Hermes to a Kaiser (well actually a AT & T Tilt) and re-flashing it with Schaps 4.30 Rom i have since noticed a sharp decline in performance (compared with my Hermes).
This lead me to look around for something 'better' coming across Duttys cooked ROM and has prompted me to initiate this thread.
Has anyone done a 'review' of the major cooked ROM's out there or even better, put them head to head?

Be aware that it will be your full-time job as new ROMs come out almost every 2-3 days.

well lets put it this way. im sure many of you have tried several different roms on your devices.
can anyone shed some light our input into the major rom players?

answer this question and you will get it
Do you like apple or orange ?
They are both fruit but you cannot head to head compare them.
Beside that newer rom is likely but not necessarily to be better. Try around with different Rom and radio to get your favorite one. Well, It takes about 15 mins to flash so you can pretty much try all the Rom in here in few days. In the end, if you are not happy , do some extensive research so you can brew your own.
Dutty Rom is popular and pretty suitable to start up.

i like both !! so that still doesnt answer my question.
unfortunately, i currently have a pretty hectic schedule so i cant really afford to flash and re-flash my unit all the time. in addition it would take quite a while as i have quite a few additional programs on there.
i am under the impression that Dutty and Schap and the two major players here?
things i need to consider:
- speed of operating system
- ease of use
- stability
- usefull applications

Sleuth would also be considered a major player here...
In regards to what you want in a ROM, all signs are pointing to Dutty's except for the useful applications. Just add em yourself though...
His is the fastest ROM I have ever used for any device, including the Hermes...
However, opinions are like assholes....

however, i would like to ENCOURAGE the discussion of the different ROMs that are available so that WE as users can talk about what we like in the different roms we encouter with their good points and bad points.

No, I dont look for reviews of roms. I flash them and if I dont like them I flash a different one. I have literally tried every single rom (that is in English unlike ATW who even tries foriegn languages) to try and find the one that works best for me. I suggest you do the same and quit asking for someone to do the work for you. The reason I say this is that I can't tell you how many times this same question has been asked. You are definitely not the first nor will you be the last. It seems as though it comes up at least once a week. So, read the first post of the rom, if you dont like what you read or see then move on to the next. Either that or do as most of us do and flash it.

We don't need to scour the internet looking for reviews. We just read the threads in the forum and test ourselves. All the information you will ever need is found in these forums.

Yup... with this guy... it's very easy to use PIM backup and your storage card to backup your vitals before flashing. Sure it's tedious, but that's how this all works. People will review different ROMS on different criteria and it's up to you to find what makes you happy.

Smart man , you want to pay the least to get the most .
1st fold
You want to do as little as possible, so we have to do more to cover your work ? > Fail
2nd fold
There is no "we" and "as users" , should be " I " " as a lazy leecher"
And there is also no point in promoting ROMs discussion. We can talk all day without coming up with any thing good but potential conflict.
> fail, again
I dont know about your schedule but my is also packed too ( ask a pre-med, senior Bio student) . And most of peeps here also get a thing call "life" . If I can do it , you can too. Flashing a Rom is not rocket science that would take a life time to do.
How about this, consider flashing your piece of device a relaxing activity for your break . I would be less pain and more joy. If you dont find flashing , trying and using Rom fun , why bother asking here.
p/s for the amount of time finish 2 posts , you could have already flashed a cool Rom lol.

I hate to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm afraid the only way to work out the best ROM for you is to test them all. If a ROM is unstable, you'll be able to tell pretty quickly from scanning the thread and what is one man's "useful applications" is another man's "bloatware".
The best analogy I've seen is with cars - to some people the perfect car is a sports car, to others it's a people-carrier, everyone's needs and uses are different. Also, as most of the ROMs are built on the same two or three OS builds, you're comparing the cars with virtually identical engines, so differences will be minor*.
My suggestion is make a list of what you use on your phone, then decide if you want a fast ROM (in which case flash a lite ROM and add the bits you want via cabs) or an easy ROM (in which case flash a ROM that's got the most of the things on your list).
You will never get everyone to agree on the "best" ROM simply because there isn't one that is head and shoulders above the others*, just optimised by and for different chefs.
*No offence intended to the great chefs on this forum! I know how much work you must put into your ROMs and I'm not trying to belittle that, just get the point across.

Also, it doesn't hurt to take the little bit of time that is required to make an SDConfig.txt file for the User Customization that most of the ROMs utilize now. That in and of itself is a huge timesaver. Take advantage of that, and someone else also posted PIM Backup, which can also help aid in moving from one ROM to another.
Use one ROM for a week, see how you like it then move on if you want to. That's more or less what I've done. And I've found what I've liked.

JUst another case of someone wanting to be fed.

Was it Karhu who would do benchmarks of all the ROM's in the Hermes forum? Talk about intensive... but again, strictly numbers, meant as an informative comparison of different things.

I think I got your thoughts...
I wanna a ROM table for comparisons... I can say its very difficult to make
1) ROMs change every day... its a rough job to keep it update
2) ROMs are like taste. You like a XYZ ROM because its faster but a friend may like a BCD ROM because it runs that app faster.
3) There ia a lot of apps within those ROMs that make they different. Comparing works if all ROMs carried the same stuff.
4) There are no tops ROM... there are populars ROM
I'm looking to flash my kaiser too but I allways got confused too with different cooked ROMs.
I suggest you to read all of your interest, ask them for any detailed spec. Install the HardSPL for Godsake and try it.

A time based review?

I was thinking maybe after a rom has been up for a certain amount of time, maybe a basic review by a mod or admin on the site or anyone else for that matter after the the initial problems have been fixed with the rom.
Mainly to establish stability and functionality and to whom it would be suited for such as buisness people or gamers etc and have it as a sticky near the top of the thread?
Please dont shout at me if this is out of line its just when i start to look at a rom it gets a bit tedious looking through the hundreds of pages to find out the pros and cons.
Thanks for any input

Good Idea
You should check the WIKI and choose from all the cooked roms available
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs
Every rom has good/bad things so... It'll sound rude but... try one by one!!!
If you need help choosing a ROM, by my experience, I can recommend Garmin's v1.0 and hang.tuah's RomeOS v4.1
They are stable, fast and a lot of memory available

Most of the chefs already do this. Generally speaking, they will update the 1st/2nd/3rd post of the thread with new version information or issues/fixes.
You should do the following:
Find a ROM that interests you, and read the first couple posts. If you are still intrigued, then read the rest of the thread.
Once a ROM is older than 1-2 months, it is pretty much dead and will not see any further updates from the chef. Something Dutty used to do that I liked was request his threads to be closed once a ROM reached a certain age and was no longer supported. He usually did this if a ROM was particularly buggy and a new version was released to correct the issues.

First thanks for the reply both of you,i understand that they tell you about issues and fixes, but just an over all description like this rom is very finger friendly a good rom for gamers because of the amount of memory left or more a stylus operated rom and buisness orientated rom.
I can sift through my self and understand a certain amount but for noobs evenmore so than myself it might prove helpful and save a couple of questions?
Any way i shall look at that link now.
Thanks people.

Im just trying the throttle rom at the moment im quite impressed a good port from the diamond,love the UI on the today screen although it can be sluggish in loading the selected app.
Not really installed much since flashing,its a bit annoying the messaging aspect of it i dont like the way it loads the message in the same way it would render a web page would rather it went straight to the message.
Love the new calender and the icontacts feature.
Any way it would seem i am writing my own review here so i shall stop now
Thanks for your input and help everyone

First timer - What is the best Rom?

I know I will probably get flamed for this, but I just won a Tmobile MDA on ebay and saw these roms for the Wizard. I have had other phones before and have always updated them using new roms, but I just can't see which one of these roms seem the best. There are so many. So I just wanted to ask everyone what they thought was the best one and why. So far I like the looks of the WizFlo 20273, but have read that it has bluetooth problems. There is also tnt and m2d and others but I have not read one where it is just a good overall rom with not many problems. I have tried reading some of the threads but when they are 40 pages long it is hard to keep up. Any info would be great.

Without flaming and/or passing judgement, the answer is quite simple. What is the best rom - none and all.
depends greatly on your taste - your needs, and what is out there.
First and foremost make sure you know what you have - G3 or G4, read and understand the unlocking and updgrading procedures for both. Lots of stickies on the top of the board with unlocking procedures, upgrading procedures. If you are not familiar with these - then they are the 40 plus page posts you need to take the time to read.
Congrats on getting the phone - now make sure it does not become an expensive paper weight.
Start with a TNT rom - see what you like, and do not like - just make sure that for any TNT rom, upgrade your radio to 2.19
From there - get creative, and flash, flash, flash.
If I may offer some advice - if your are not a chef, then respectfully try all that is offered. Offer constructive criticism on what works and does not work. Appreciate the efforts - and go from there.
But again, no simple answer - no best available. The best is the one you stick with - that meets your needs.
Best of luck

The ROM I keep coming back to is jwzg's 'Business Edition':
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376667&highlight=business
Also very nice is mfrazz's 'XDA Mobile 6', the last version is version 5:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355591&highlight=mfrazz
I've had nothing but problems with TNT roms.
The only real new thing to come onto the Wizard scene since those two ROMs were new is the HTC Home/Manila2D interface. It's nice but if you want HTC Home you can add it to any ROM via a download and so far, all the Manila2D ROMs have issues that I don't want to deal with. Once some of them are a little more mature I'll probably give them another chance.

ill give my 2 cents. havent posted on the forums and thought i would chime in as to Ive tried many of the roms on the forum. they are all great roms and lots of time put into cooking them and so far the best rom is the AMP v2 rom. ive tried many of the tnt and nothing but problems. also have tried the slims and the diamonds with problems too. you would just have to try which one best fits you!

Well, I personally love the TNT series of ROMs, and have nothing but problems with the AMP releases, so the opposite of you all! But you may find my thread at the top of this forum section usefull, "Wizard ROM Features, Programs etc ect" or something like that, its a list of most all of the ROMs and what they have/dont have and my impressions of them, as well as download links.

Agree - wife has been running the latest TNT for a month or so now, no issues - uses phone day in day out, no issues.
Have proven to be pretty solid for us also
Cheers !!

I'm using the Wizflo ROM before their landscape update. The Landscape version had some problems with my phone, i.e. after being on for a couple hours the phone would become too slow to operate correctly (even with OMAP overclocking).
Wizflo was great for me b/c i wanted touchflo 2D and a fast ROM. I was flashing ROMs for the last month or so because i wasnt happy with any of the ROMs i flashed, but now I've stuck to the Wizflo ROM
I dont know of any bluetooth errors, because i don't use bluetooth all that much. I don't use all the features of TF2D also, like the audio manager and maps search. But i recommend this ROM.
btw, WOW on winning a wizard. I am jealous =P

I know I will probably get flamed for this, but I just won a Tmobile MDA on ebay and saw these roms for the Wizard. I have had other phones before and have always updated them using new roms, but I just can't see which one of these roms seem the best. There are so many. So I just wanted to ask everyone what they thought was the best one and why. So far I like the looks of the WizFlo 20273, but have read that it has bluetooth problems. There is also tnt and m2d and others but I have not read one where it is just a good overall rom with not many problems. I have tried reading some of the threads but when they are 40 pages long it is hard to keep up. Any info would be great.

DUDE! top of the forum in the stickies there is a thread called ROM REVIEWS. (I'm not yelling)

Everyone has their own taste and experiences. TNT isn't too bad seems to be the "favorite" of the masses at the very least. But like someone else said try them all out once you get flashing it doesn't take long at all to switch between each rom. After you have unlocked and everything.
I ended up using Manilla 2D Brushed by Noonski. But even then I found that I like v12 alot better than the newer versions. I still try each new version but ultimately I come back to the older one. So make sure to try older Roms as well they may be just what you are looking for!

Try Wizflo, It's very good for Wizard, I am using it now.

Lol, I remember that my first post in this forum was exactly this question and everybody kicked my a*s...
Well I will not do the same... I tried several roms that I found interesting and now I'm stick to AMPv2 (and waiting for a new stable version).
My recommendation is: read, read and read every post in every rom that you find interesting and then (after reading a lot) try them.
Also, please, read, read, read and read (and read again) all rom flashing procedures and tools to avoid the second natural question "how can I recover from the color-strips screen?" or worst "How can I recover a bricked wizard?"...
It is quite simple flashing roms... so please read, read and read... and follow the steps that you're reading...
Regards and welcome to xda-devs forum

go for amp - the best one

Recommend me a ROM :)

Hiya ppl
I would like to be recommened a ROM that fit my few, but yet important "demands"
Fast response, by fast i mean near-to-instant screen flip when keyboard is slided out, and near-to-instant program launch (You get the drift)
Finger friendly for every day use, standart UI is more stylus friendly than finger friendly.
Im sorry if this is "yet another one of those threads" but the forums is kinda "old" so theres soo many nice roms to choose from

Flash flash flash till you find the ROM you want as it's personal preference on what ROM you will like.

Yea however i would assume that one could narrow it abit down so that i dont have to try out like 30 different roms ^^

Look at the post counts and you'll get a pretty good idea of which ROMs are most highly thought of. The "recommend me a ROM" question is tough because it's like asking which is "the best" flavor of ice cream or which hair color is best for a girl. Everyone has their own preferences.
I've tried many. I currently am using HyperDragon (2/4 edition) and it's working well for me. I've used about six versions of HyperDragon and liked them all. Have also liked a number of others that are currently in vogue. FWIW.

Before anyone starts to flame you, yah, you're going to have to try your own.
I've been running Phoenix 2.3 since it's been out (not very long), and to me, it's one of the best ROMs I've ever tried. Plus, the chefs are very active.
Best of luck.

I am a new kaiser user and tried around 15 ROMs and finally decided to go on with eOS from -888-. It is light and very stable stable. I also liked the fact that -888- is still supporting the ROM.
Another ROM, I liked, is naked edition of AthineOS v.3.2 BlackStone:20757 from b16b. It is also a light ROM with lots of memory available. I wish the cook continued supporting the ROM.
I must say that I appreciate the efforts from all our genius cooks. However, as said before, you need to find the one that suites your taste.

The only other thing I will suggest - if you're going to try out a bunch of ROMs, familiarize yourself with Sashimi. Makes the customization job a ton easier.

The only thing you can do is to look at each ROM, look at its reviews, and try it yourself. The mods HATE this kind of thread and will come down on you with an iron fist.
Read Jimmy's announcement at the top, sir.

i wish i were a mod so my cat would actually work.

ASK HTC OR M$ for a rom recomendation
U have to look and read as this thread is ROM development not ROM RECOMEND
NEXT TIME post the question somewhere else
MODS SHOULD move this thread

My cat works fine thank you:
