Hi guys,
I'd like to try a custom ROM again, but with the almost 100s available I'd rather ask the question - I'm looking for a normal standard Raphael ROM with just the standard apps on as it came out on the Raphael.
So basicly just a straight dump from Raphael HTC rom to go onto a Kaiser (with the neccesary tweaks of course to make it work). No other personalised apps, schemes, etc etc.
Are there something like this?
You probably can port a ROM from Raphael.

Well seeing as how the Raphael has TF3D, that narrows your search down to about 2 ROMS L26 V4 or -G-'s SE TF3D! But if you are looking for simple and easy for daily use without alot of tweaking you are not going to want TF3D! I would go with -G-'s SE TF2D or Hyperdragon Raphael build! You are going to get alot of suggetions because ROMs are different for each person, the easy thing to do is ask but the best thing to do is try them out and gain valuable exp for yourself!

He could also look at -G-'s SE TL ROM. Gives about the same functionality as TF3D but is usable on daily basis

Or the ROM I'm currently using. Or just do like we did and try them, everyone's opinion here is definitely different. YMMV

Guys,
actually, have you paid attention to your programme memory of all those different roms. I found dutty's last one has the most programme memory 95M which I think was the reason why it is so fast and stable..
what do you think?

There are two types of people here, those that like flashing new ROMs every chance they get, and if I were a psychiatrist, I would diagnose those with ADD ( Attention Deficit Disorder candidates), and those that want a stable ROM that they would show it off to their friends, and keep it for a long time; a ROM that is reliable and fast and has many programs. The first type of people are adventurous however when they flash a new ROM, and if it glitches a bit, they get frustrated and wished they would have stayed with their previous ROM. BUT they go on and try other ROMs for hopes they come across one that is even better than their previous one they liked.
So which person are you? do you intend to flash often for the sake of flashing or you just want one that has most user programs and looks somewhat good? OK ... let us know and we'll guide you then toward the "Ultimate" ROM that would satisfies your curiosity and fits your personality.
To be honest, I've tried all Dutty's, L26, Hyperdragon, PDACorner, Garmin (3 editions) and I'm still unable to choose one !
When he was active Dutty was the best, but now all these ROMs are just beautiful, and I've been flashing for a couple of days, and still unable to make my choice.
It becomes frustrating at the end, because our Chefs are so great that they release a new ROM each week...
As someone said before (forgot who, sorry)

Hehe, very true! I've done the ROM hopping on the Kaiser and previous Vox, but is now more after the stable quick easy-to-use one ;-) Hence i actually moved back to a standard HTC ROM (but there's still that customization side that needs tickling...)
Thanks for the replies so far.. I'll the ones mentioned.

I got my tilt about 3 months ago, and have been flashing constantly! Yet to find the right one for me! All of them are good, but not perfect for me. And I dont want to cook, cuz I am too lazy! So I will keep flashing, but finding a perfect ROM is never going to happen!!

I wouldn't completely classify myself in the first category, as I know quite what I want and I know it isn't there yet. I love M3D roms and I do enjoy packing it full of features and everything. I have run L26's M3D rom for a while, and I just tried -G-'s for a day yesterday. But then many times those roms have enough issues pop up that make the phone basically unusable, and then I will back track to either a M2D rom, or even a HTC Home rom just for speed, stability, and in the case of the HTC Home roms, flawless landscape support. Then after a week or two, I start looking at the M3D roms again, hoping that there have been some fixes and work arounds and I start trying it again, and the cycle goes again!
And for what you mentioned about wishing to put the previous rom on there...Norton Ghost would be a great product for these phones!

Hi all, Im normally over at the Atrtemis forums but here on the hunt.
Ive read a few pages but they all feature custom roms.
Im after a Wizard WM6 rom for the wife so it has to be clean and super stable. All the roms ive found so far have touchflow or some other stuff that she really wont need.

Why dont you give a try to my ROM? See my Signature mate
nobody can tell you what you have to choose, test it yourself.
I personally found that making my own ROM with the tools here was the best option. I've tried just about every ROM here (except See No Evil and Syndicate) and found that my own creation is fast, stable, and has exactly what I want and need in it.
Click on the link in my signature and build it yourself. It's VERY easy! If I can figure it out, a monkey can.
tested nbd v7.4 and it runs a bit slow, but i'm running now nbd.v7.3.cf and it's very stable and fast

Can some one suggest which Rom out there is the most stable and fastest eg: NBD 9.2 or Octavia 5 etc

u asked for it at present TNT Professional HTC Home
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

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)

I need help choosing a ROM, this is my first time. Memory doesn't matter, I have SD card. Hoping for some extra programs, good wifi, and stable, I don't want it to freeze too often. Battery life doesn't matter as long as it lasts a FULL day. Let me what you think is best, so far I like the wizard titanium, but people tell me its too old. What do you think?

If I had to recommend a fast stable rom with some nice extras, I would have to say TNT.1437 is one of the best. It has plenty of nice little extras and is one of the most complete and stable rom's I have used. I have been using it for the last 4 months and only switched Roms to test new releases and then always to back to the 1437 build. I personally like the TouchFlo version.

Very true,the best ever Rom I have tried so far and specially the 10mb ppool
I spent a fair bit of time re-working TNT 1437 to suit my own needs and preferences. I have relatively easily moved from TNT 1437 to 1921 and recently to 1933; each time having to make some modifications to it's right Base ROM. However since he has kept the ROMs reasonably consistent between versions my time spent modifying has decreased somewhat.
My choice of ROMs would be it's right's 1933 Base and my own customisations. Most ROMs are likely to have something you don't like or don't want and I think it is now so easily to learn how to cook your own the best option is to build your own using one of the bases available. That way it will be the 'best ROM' for you.
For me, I will be sticking with it's right 1933 base for the time being as I have had very few issues with it, plus he has worked hard integrating the original 5.2.318 drivers into it, oh and it's (currently) the latest
My 2 cents..

I use XM6r3, it has given me no problems at all. I have tried many other roms and felt this was the best for my needs. Are there faster roms? I did like tnt, I tried a couple different builds (including touchflo which I don't care for) and after configuring and installing all my normal things, XM6r3 seemed to run faster. Available memory was almost =. I do like some of the bug fixes TNT has.
You think your question should be easy to answer, but really your asking what is the best car manufacturer, who has the best tasting beer. In time you will find one you like. I initially flashed my brains out with everything I could get my usb cable on, but now, I just want something that gets it done.

What kind of modifications did you make to the TNT.1437 Rom? I have been using it for some time and love it but for whatever reason I can't seem to get any of the many available kitchens to work on my computer whether it be on my Vista partition or my XP partition. Neither work.
Ok, I want to thank everyone for all your help. Also, charile_mx, if you didn't have any advice for me, you shoudn't have posted anything at all, there was no reason for you to post the stupid comment. So far I like the wm6 tnt touchflo edition, it looks nice, but im going to do more research on it first. how stable is it? Does it open apps quick, and can I open 2 or 3 apps at onve without it freezing?

The best thing that you can do for yourself is simply read up on everything involved with your wizard first. Is it unlocked? Is it G3 or G4? Does it have an IPL and SPL higher then 2.XX ? Please don't answer these questions to me. I am simply giving you some things to follow up on in your research, so that you can avoid ending up with a Brick.
Personally I have been using my own cooked Cross bred version, although I really like the look of It's Right 1933. I may have to cross breed something there.
Good Luck

Nothing too major. I modified a few .RGU files to remove some settings I don't like (Wireless on the Today screen is one I can think of), replaced the various TNT skin customisations with the default ones, replaced the Calc1 with the original Calculator, removed the themes and added my own, customised my own 'Office Mobile' folder, added battery status with my own settings, removed some unused applications and replaced them with some of my own. I replaced some of the included packages with the same ones I have that I have had continued sucess with - i.e. the various media related packages that all have reliance on certain codecs and system files that everyone seems to have issues with (Audio Manager, Voice Recorder, Streaming Media, Camera & MMS). I also included my Personal Stuff and locale settings in a custom .RGU file as well as changed the Autorun stuff to launch my own extended ROM. Oh and I have my own custom splash screens (which it took me a while to get installed and it really pi$$ed me off when I used to install a new ROM and these got overwritten..... )
Basically when I flash my ROM (or hard reset) there are minimal changes that I need to make and no software to manually install to get it back the way I like it (my VoIP settings, a Certificate and TT get installed from my extended ROM).
I am currently using the 'HyperCore' kitchen but have used others with similar results. Using the HyperCore you must follow the instructions since it is easy to miss a step and end up with a partially 'dead' Wizard.

Starting this thread was a bad idea. Sorry I didn't saw it yesterday
Reasons :
[*]This has been posted too many times before.
[*]The "Best ROM" for you is the one YOU like most. You'll have to try a few on your own to figure out which one works best for you.
[*]Everybody will give you different answers so you won't get much out of it.
[*]ROMs don't act the same on all devices. One ROM that works perfect on my device it might not work the same on yours or any other one here. You don't trust me ? Do a benchmark on your PDA..then ask someone else to do a benchmark on his PDA with same ROM and you'll see differences.

The list can continue. "This is but a fraction of the monster..."
Which do you prefer and why?
I am mainly concerned with speed and stability, so I am not sure which would be the better option or if it there would really be any difference seeing as they both use the same base.
I've tried both and they're both fast and stable with excellent features. To me it's kinda like a choice between a BMW or Mercedes. You can't go wrong with either so I'd read the features built into each and pick the one with the most appealing set up. Schap's has a great feature set, but Dutty always seems to come out with something new
Flash one for a day and play with it. Then flash the other for a day. Use a good back up like PPCPimBackup and restoring you're contacts and info is easy. You'll just have to customize your settings again. But that's just a good way to learn the ins and outs of your phone. Just have fun
They both are great ROM's. So it comes down to preference and what you need and want in your phone. Like Charlie said, you kinda can't go wrong. They both are WAY better than the stock ROM.
jb
A benchmark test would help. Like charlie said, Dutty throws in some extra goodies. It doesnt hurt to try them both out.

Which car is better BMW or Mercedes?
Always the same... everyone gives you another answer.
Just try them and find out which meets your requirements most.
I have been loving both ROms myself and think same as you guys reference speed and stability but there are a few things better with Dutty
Dutty's Roms doesnt have as many progs as schaps, adobe lite, i hate that app and use other ebook readers and some other progs that you would hardly use so i think dutty gets the win for me here..
come to think of it, schaps has been cooking roms b4 dutty and dutty gave him props because he learnt alot from schaps. there you have it make your pick, students normally perfect wat they have been taught and beat the teachers....lol

Very nice answer
Flashing Shaps' now, will give you an answer soon...
Wait a minute, why aren't YOU doing the same thing?!
Seriously though, both are great, I use Shaps at the moment cause it has build-in VoIP, but Dutty's stuff is flat out awesome, too!
Either way you win.
H.
Tried most ROMs out there and I kept on changing. Re-flashing is the least expensive way to feel like you got a new phone.
Schaps has cooked great ROMs and still however, Dutty ROMs are always on the cutting edge of "Most Recent", "Advanced", and he's always participating, answering questions and spending his valuable time on this forum. I would not buy a Benz or a BMW if I have to wait numerous days for service. Posting a ROM and expecting people to test, I would think support should be also available. Thank god for the great guys here in this forum that spend the time to explain ways out of trouble for the many noobeez in here ( like myself). Without the testers, I would be, among others, lost.
I am currently testing Duttys V3 Final. Let me say this, it is by far the best ROM for the Tilts I have, so far. Stable, Robust and does not eat up battery.

If you are mainly concerned with speed and stability then I don't know how you can't throw Alex's Ultra Clean ROM into the mix. Honestly I haven't tried all the others yet, but I have been extremely happy with the UC rom by Alex. If anything, it has to be the fastest one out there, and in the past 5 days I don't think I have reset more than once or twice for a reason other than an install.
No offense to the other developers, I just have a bias towards super clean ROM's and not relying on what someone else thinks that I should have in a ROM... but that's just me.
I say, GOGO DUTTY

I agree. I've tried quite a few other ROMS and always come back to Alex's. I wish dutty and schap would make their roms easer to add and remove programs/features via the ROM kitchen.
Schap's v4.3 Rom is very stable and most improtantly it does look like an orignal HTC Rom espcially when u start ur phone.no dutty's series..etc

No, that would be Porche...
Personally Ive tried both ROMS, and they are both a vast improvement over stock - especially since stock for me was in Czech, and Im not quite that fluent Right now I'm using Dutty's V3 which seems to be the best so far but if Schaps releases a new one tomorrow I'd probably switch to just check it out.
For me the decision not to try too many other ROMs is just time - these two get great reviews and both work great for me, but I don't have the time try the others that have come out recently.

I've tried most of them and I find myself flashing back to Schap's since 4.22. I gave v3 a shot but did not find it to be as quick or clean as 4.30 w/ 32mb.PP IMO.
I am anxious for Schap's lite and Adv Config 2.0 to be released!
Just because of Adv Config I am a Schap's fan.

Always the same... everyone gives you another answer.
Just try them and find out which meets your requirements most.

I can't completely agree on this.
There are some facts you can compare which can be very important to the user, for instance the 'fuel economy in automobiles' (the batterylife of the kaiser)...
What about a duel boot
It may sound crazy, but that way ppl would not have to take a chance on screwing up all their settings. My vote if I had to choose is Dutty’s roms. He is always cooking and I have never had anything I didn’t like, before he served another course.
Personal preference over feel, battery life, responsiveness, base apps/utilities etc etc etc
I ran some benchmarks on the two but I'm not at liberty to share the results as they were just for my customization of PagePool+MaxCache settings.

Then why even tell us if we can't get the result? hahah
How often do you flash your phone?
For me, its everytime a new version of the rom i use gets released.
Off topic
Thanks to XDA is that I´m still loving WM!
If not I´m sure I moved to another platform
I have flashed so many times I don´t even remember
I usually flash when I get bored, or the ROM starts slowing down. Or whenever I flash my own ROM, I realize it is awful and go straight to xda for a new one
Been hooked for years But now I'm flashing on Android thanks to xda!
I've lost count as well. But the thing is I find myself instinctively returning to certain roms, even if it is a much earlier rom. It's like they have a personality of their own. ( I hope I don't sound too wierd here ... plus I have a life).
You also become an expert on how fast you can get all your software and themes up and running should the new rom rain on your expectations. It's like a pit stop in F1.
I started flashing about a week ago, and I tried 3 custom ROMs from XDA.
Im gonna try cooking a custom ROM myself soon too, because I have very specific requirements for my ROM
However, I'm NEVER going back to my original 6.1 ROM. 6.5.3 is the way to go, even though I can't use my old manilla themes anymore.
Everything improved by an awful lot.
Also, i think this post is a good moment to say thanks to all the chefs that create custom roms for us!
i only started flashing roms the other day, i was doing one a day but have settled on one that seems to be holding my battery a lot longer than the others i used so im gonna stick with this one (xannytech's EVOLUTION 1.1)!
also love this site and the "USE THE SEARCH" mentality, its awesome.
I don't have a *twitch* problem. I merely *twitch* need my *twitch* fix. I can *twitch* stop anytime, *twitch* do you have some*twitch*thing for me *twitch* to flash? *twitch**twitch*
Well to be honest I'm not sure how many roms I've flashed. I know its hundreds!!
I've 2 devices so I have one for everyday use and one for testing/flashing. As a mod I like to know what I'm talking about so I tend to flash nearly every rom which comes out for my device (HD). I'm flashing daily . However as more and more chefs have appeared this has become more combersome so I try and limit this to 3-6 chefs unless something really catches my eye (new build etc). So I'm only flashing when one of these chefs release a new rom.....which still seems to be daily or every other day...lol . Then I choose my preferred rom and flash it onto my everyday use device

lol, very good.....though I would get that *twitch* sorted out very soon......think I heard another rom was released!!!
for me, it depends on how much time i have, and if the new version of the rom has stuff that i am really interested in. otherwise, i'd just skip the update
There is no way to compehend how many times have flashed... Excalibur tryed all ROMs made joint project ROM every minor tweak a flash, Kaiser same deal yet now lives with stylez black v.5 once you have a ROM on there that is to your preference then flashing another isn't a necesitty, now using Touch Pro flashed the ROMs that take my fancy now back in Kitchen... Flashing aboit 2 x a day as need phone set up.
Spelling whack just had a surge and net not working used to inline spellcheck
So yes i still have the bug but not as bad as used too lol

I think constant flashing soon starts to ware you out. People have other committments as well which can eat up time. I've a family so my time is limited, but when I can I still flash, tweak and play. With time the bug does start to decrease, but only a little bit
I am definitely a flash junkie. Not a week goes by and im flashing another ROM. No other platform so far is this hackable\customisable\tweakable.....you get the point.
i flash mine everytime nrgz28 comes out with a new rom. he makes the best in my opinion. i also try others but i always find myself going back to energy roms!!!
