If you add few comments on each ROM like a best point and a worst point, then it will be more helpful to other people around here.

+1.
Please list some imp (confirmed) bugs/issues too. Their release dates would be helpful too.

Please add comments and I will integrate into first post. I have no intention of trying every single ROM myself, in fact I think I have settled on "[RELEASE] Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Tornado Hybrid".
I may give the pro roms another go at some point but I couldn't get to grips with on first use even though they seems a LOT quicker than standard.

Hey cubiq,
Thanks for this list. Makes all the roms a lot easier to get to. Currently I have on one Cingular 2125 the WM6.1 for (CE OS 5.2.20279 Build 20279.1.3.4) Rose ROM *UPDATED* and on my other one I am trying out
[*NEW ROM-07.12.08]WM6.1 PRO RC7!!!made by Kamikadze. The Pro is actually a lot nicer than I expected, although there are still a lot of things that have to be gotten used to since, of course, our phones are lacking the touchscreen. The Rose Rom is one of the best Rom's that I have had for the Tornado since Nitro's Platinum.

Another BD ROM
The following Tornado ROM had good reviews:
(I haven't yet tried it myself)
BD's Really Clean V2 5.2.20273 (Build 19593.1.1.7)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424193
Release date: Sep 7, 2008

I am using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375670
Mind to add to your list too. It is working flawlessly on my Tornado (clean rom with only Esmertec Jbed)
Add Andot's Windows Mobile 6 too, that one was pretty best in my opinion though i kept it for only a week and then shifted back to GnatGoSplat's WM6.1

Someone should stick this topic to the top. Its very useful!

Radio
Probably most people who will pay a visit to this topic will be using their Kaisers in The Netherlands as well, so it might be usefull to share radio rom experience as well!
I used 1.65.20.29 on the KPN network (mostly around Eindhoven), but it was the worst coverage I ever had! Right now I am testing a Niki radio 1.58.16.27. Very quick GPS, good coverage, battery seems to be draining faster though.
Also I got the famous sound problem, but when I search, I actually only find topics where other people look for this problem and are being told that there are numerous topics about this problem. Topics that I don't seem to find... Anyone got the solution or topic, or otherwise the best radio in here with KPN?
By the way, I use Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19700. Untill there is a good and stable Diamond version with the changes from the official 6.1.
I'm mostly using english roms like Dutty's, but also L26's(he's dutch) diamond...
It is possible to translate roms into another language, I believe NoThrills is doing that.
And 20.29 aint working that good for me either, 1.65.16.25 is better. But I have a problem, don't know if its caused by the radio or my provider:
often get to hear "U heeft een niet-bestaand nummer gebeld" and with the normal phone never
Do you have a different operator on your hard line? If so, what message do you get when you call from there to the same number that gets the out of order message on your mobile? Cause I think this message is something every operator sets for itself, same with for example the call waiting tone.
dutch rom
http://www.htcdriver.com/wm6-freeware/wm6-software/directory/rom.php
also includes other standard wm 6.1 roms
thnx for the nice reactions.. as already posted i'm using Nothrills V3 with KPN Dutch network, and its running gr8!
i'm also very curious what extra's are in the KPN Branded rom for the tytn2???
I'm using the V5 from Leo as well, but indeed the radio reception is terrible... often he looses connection; I've never had that before.
When somebody finds a better radio then i'm interested

I live in NL (Den Haag) and I'm using Dutty's April 29 Hybrid with radio 1.64.08.21. Very good coverage and battery, but GPS is so-so. Sometimes I have a nice fix (10-15 seconds) but for gloomy conditions that we have now it goes around 1-3 minutes. I tried using 1.65.20.29 but I'm having some drop call and sound problem so I reverted back to 1.64.08.21.
I flashed back to 1.65.16.25 and the sound problems are over.
GPS fix a bit slower, but 'normal'. Anyone has ideas about the best baud settings in our little country or with our network?

Question about Windows Mobile 6.5

Is it possible to have Windows Mobile 6.5 on my Vox in the following future? It looks great, i guess frauhottelmann and Dr. Martin Gonzo can make it (i only know these 2 guys from this board )
look here: http://www.computerbase.de/bildstrecke/25627/1/
This screen is from HTC Blackstone (Touch HD).
Blackstone is PocketPC
i'm sure bart, but is it possible to make such a rom for my vox? like this design? because it looks very great windows mobile 6.5
I can't cook ROM. Meyby some users (frauhottelmann, dr. Gonzo) cook WM 6.5 on Vox.
All in they hands
There is no WM 6.5 Standard ROM out yet. And I can only repeat myself, Professional on the Vox doesn't make sense to me!
Once I am able to get a WM 6.5 Standard ROM, I will cook one for the Vox!
that would be amazing

Is WinMob 6.1 still being developed

My 1st thread so I'm ready for a "use the search" reply... [I have!]
The latest WinMob 6.1 Roms for my HD seem to be CE OS 5.2.21051...
has WinMob 6.1 development stopped there? I guess so as all new ROM's coming out are WM6.5 and it is due out (officially) in a couple of months.
Thanks for any informative replies.
according to some threads here the wm 6.1 will go on till 2109x
and further 211xx and newer versions will be wm 6.5
but as of now the latest OFFICIAL version is 21051
though there are HEX versions like 21068 etc but i would prefer 21051 (which i currently use)
The difference between between WinMo 6.1 an 6.5 is basically cosmetic. The big leap forward comes when WinMo VersionWhatEver???? runs on Windows CE 6.0. Until then, here is some music.......
Thanks
@ sheennick123456
Thanks for the info.
@ stephj
I think you're right there... M$ have just added a fresh lick of paint on an old Ford Escort with WM6.5!

[POLL] Which ROM are u running and are you happy with it?

I'm running WM6 from Cotulla and I like it, but I have to recharge the Magician every night while with WM2003 I recharge it every 3 days..
Do you have the same issue? Is there a fix for the "inefficient stanby"?

sadly windows mobile 6 uses alot more resources, it wasnt expected by the developers of the the phones for it to be used with anything but wm2003. i think its a cross we simply have to bear for us to have up to date phones.

very happy just stil looking for a good Today UI program
I have tried SPB shell and pointui but am wondering what are you guys using, I don't want to use pocket plus it just isn't skinned enough.
does anyone use HTC touchflo (if yes where did you get the cab from?)
2005 to June 2008 - Windows Mobile 2003 SE
Aug 2008 to June 2009 - Taxist's 2.03 tx WWE rom
June 2009 until now - WM 6.1 WWE_02 by Cotulla
Honestly speaking, I don't see major difference between WWE 3.02 and 3.03, maybe somebody can enlighten me here. Though with WWE 3.03 some said certain SDIO will malfunction, so I dare not to try.
By the way, I have scheduled a well installed Sprite backup to backup my data every night 03:00 am which Cotulla told me never restore when upgrading his rom, so why should I try WWE 3.03?

If you have $, SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 is a definite better choice from my point of view.
PointUI came in free, and has been excellent since 1.0 when I use Taxist's 2.03tx rom (2.0 is even better if you choose well programmed applets)
My 3 cents, Philip
CHS_O2,ha ha...
I'm sad looking this sub forum, can't feel the speed of Cotulla's ROM anymore..
Honestly, my old magician with WWE-O3 (run @416+ MHz) works faster than my Universal (run @624MHz) for resized HD movie playback..
Now, I'm using my Gene and it's stuck @265MHz..
God, I missed that speed, that HD video playing capability, & that transparent top & bottom bar...
Cotulla's R1 WM 6.5 is the best
It's fast, beautiful and 80% fingure friendly.

Where do you get WM6.5?

Hi, I was surprised today as I found this forum (never heard about WM6.5, especially for (old) HTC Wizard). I'm curious about how do you get WM6.5? I don't think M$ give WM6.5 ROM for free.
I think all WM6.5-Roms here are Beta-versions, right? If so... is there any restrictions? Or can I use WM6.5 on my device like if it's a "fullversion" (SMS, eMail, ActiveSync, Internet...)?
I don't want to start a debate about legal-rights, just as I said I'm curious about it.
cu Floh
Non of the wm 6.5 rom are official and there never will be an official. M$ official release of wm 6.5 will be in october. According to M$ the WM 6.5 is only a skin change of 6.1 and will be an lite version of windows mobile 7 for low end devices and WM 7 for high end. If you want WM 6.5 you can find one in the Windows 6 section under wizard but non official
Thank you.
