Just wondering if there are any ROMs out there that don't contain HTC Home, or Cube, or anything along those lines. Looking for a ROM that gives me just the "normal" (yeah, I know) today screen that I can customize the way I want it. Yes, I've downloaded and tried many of the ROMS that all have the "touch" feel to them, and I've disabled those components, flashed new dialers, changed color schemes, etc., but was looking for a "clean" ROM without those elements. Is there such a beast?
Thanx.

Try Q-Mobile 1.2 from Quentin. IMO the best "clean" ROM around. And it's fast!!

Dutty's old ROMs (No.6b and No.7b) have lite versions that are very good. I still use No.7b Lite with 32MB page pool.
the magic word is "lite"
Alex's UltraClean. Q-mobile. Etc. I am currently using Dutty's V2 (medium). No cube or anything. All are great ROMS - the "best" will be a personal preference.
Thanx for the suggestions, peeps. I've looked them over and I think I'll be trying Alex's ROM.

Remember there are some ROM's that only work with radio 1.27.14.09 so if you get great reception with this radio I suggest you stick with ROM that will work with that.
Thanx again, all.
Surprising!! I dont see the "search and find yourself / its upto you" tone in any of the replies from the "senior" members for this thread opened by another senior memeber.
In about a month or two I will be putting aside my Kaiser and make way fo the Touch HD so what better way to spend the remainder of time with my Kaiser then to flash cooked ROM's!
So for the past few weeks I have been testing several cooked ROM's and here's my current favourite ROM's in no particular order based on speed,stabilty and appearance:
- SJ' HD ROM's III (shortly will be testing IV)
- PDACornerUltimate.V4
- Garmin.DK.4.Manila [OS 19971.1.4.0] - v4.4a/b/c
- MBarvian's Solace v1.5 BETA
- L26_KaiserTouch_V1_M2D
I think in there own way they are all great ROM's cooked by the finest Chefs!
If I had to choose one for my own personal permanant use it would be between SJ' HD ROM's and PDACornerUltimate.V4 I think they are both on par in terms of speed and stabilty but I think the coloured icons of PDACornerUltimate.V4 do it for me
To all the cooks well done guys and thank you!!!!
more flashing and more testing to be done........
I'm using mbarvian's Solace V1.5 beta at the moment and i'm very pleased with it. I've used the Hyperdragon III rom's and they are great too. I don't have a favorite. I'm trying new rom's when i feel like it.
PDACornerUltimate is my favourite rom since the coloured status icon. LOL
And also it is very convenient because it has all of my need.
sorry for my question ... which ROM is "SJ' HD ROM's III" ?

i just got a kaiser and im gonna flash my first rom, hyperdragon is getting a lot of attention and looking good for me. i have unlocked it just fine and was waiting for a thread like this to confirm that that rom is one of the best
any other recommendations??
For me it's NATFs ROMs (AT&T, not Manila).
This Manila stuff is way too inflexible. I spent hours and hours testing Manila ROMs (two by NATF and Hyperdragon III) and trying to configure them to my liking. But Manila is inflexible to changes/customization, and even the fledging utility found in the forum - is not enough.
Next week I'll test another "regular" ROM.
NATF ROMs here too.
I'm running V4 Manilla Laoded right now on my mian phone and ATT Loaded on my older "back-up" phone. The each have their positives and negatives.
- Can't change the fost key in Minilla.
- Can't run anyother other home screen plug-ins with Manilla running.
-Manilla allowes you to have multipal cities in it's weather vs. just one in HTC home weather.
- Manilla allowes you to have more contacts in it contact launcher and many more apps in it app launcher then HTC Home.
But I hae found them both to be excellent ROMs.

Use SecondToday cab (look it up in the forum).
It allows you to create a duplicate Today screen, where you can place all your Today plugins (either WM standard or s/w that you installed).
Then you assign it to any h/w key (I used the PTT button in my Tilt) - and voila! you're (almost) back in business regarding Today screen versatility.
But I didn't like the lags and REALLY didn't like the lack of customization abilities in Manila

its all about the simplicity of "today plugins" and the easy customization and manipulation of the today screen...
once "manilla" came in....THAT went out the window...and like u said the whole 2nd today screen was supposed to solve that but still....it isnt the same...
im glad i found a couple of ppl like me...who arent big fans of the manilla revolution lol...but as you can see in the listed roms in the 1st post...they all are manilla based...and in the last month or so...there hasn't been any regular cooked roms excluding 888's roms...
i haven't flashed in a long time and the reason is the lack of these non-manilla based roms...hoping any chef out there will cater to the needs of myself and the others in this minority
Well, there's the NATF v4 ATT ROM, and soon I expect there'll be a 3G version of aruppenthal's 3.57_19214 RR Edition V3.7 (he's already published the 2G versions).
I really don't understand how people are willing to sacrifice easy of use for a facade...
(and I really put a lot of effort to try and adapt to the 2 Manila ROMs I tested).
Currently using MBarvian's Solace v1.5, I find it fast, stable, and has landscape! I love the manilla 2d. Not much of a fan of the regular Home screen. I have only had my tilt about a month and I don't use it for the PDA functions. A little email, a bit of text'n, mostly I wanted to stream Sirius Radio at work as they shut down internet. I love the Theme customization available for M2d. Its awesome.

I take your point on board, with manila 2d it's a case of either you love it or hate it! however in my case I do not have any lag issues when using SecondToday combined with manila 2d it fits my purpose, of course this all depends on what ROM and tweak you use, as I have noticed with certain ROM's the SecondToday doesn't run smoothly!!
My absolute favourite is HyperDragon. No other ROM (and I've flashed 'em all!) comes close to the responsiveness and stability (sorry Leo )
Besides, I do not think that the Kaiser is really compatible with the Manila kind of touch interface by design (ever tried to scroll thru the index bar of Random Access with your finger? ). That's why I still stick to good old HTC Home.
Sleuth 3.0 - fast? I dont really know cause never tried other cooked ROM, but I know it is reliable and stable ...
AthineOS for me. The home V2.2 version. Stable, fast and ALOT of free ram.
Tony
AT&T in SE USA
I f you are in Southeast USA, then without a question, the best Rom is PDACornerUltimate.V4 with Radio 1.65.24.36
I should know, I have tried every new Rom since I got my Tilt (Year ago).
PDACornerUltimate.V4 got my vote.
hyperdragonIII (11-10-08)
I flashed hyperdragon yesterday. I liked it but there were too many bugs and no landscape just completely killed it for me.
Today i tried solace but ended up not liking it. The landscape wasn't really how I was excpecting it to be but still at least it had landscape even though i didn't really like it. there weren't as many programs as other roms give you on it. Also manillas are too hard to customize for my linking at this point. When they are further developed then they will probably become the only kind of roms I use.
Right now I'm using duttys diamond v1 and i seem to like it. I liked the looks and stuff of the manilla better but I like duttys rom performance better.
I'm going to check out a few of those NATF roms because I've heard they're really good.
It doesn't matter where you are in the country or the world...The ROM has nothing to do with it...its the RADIO!!!
And being a former Chef on here, I have to say HyperdragonIII is by far the most stable,responsive ROM out right now.
Simple things like...
On M2D if you go to another widget you can press the END key and get back to home!
The dialer is perfect and easily changable by skins. WIth a few minor AdvanceConfig changes by battery lasts easily 2 days with moderate use.
Just my info, but HyperDragonIII is the way to go right now. I have tried to build my own ROM lately, but keep going back to his!!!
Hey everyone,
I hear all about this custom ROM stuff and it got me thinking.
What i have:
Sprint HTC Touch
Windows 6.1 Stock Rom
What im use mostly:
T-9 Diamond Keyboard
I use messaging countless hours a day
Opera mobile 9.5 beta
Calling
check email (Gmail)
Sprint NAVI GPS (Turn by turn)
What I am looking for:
A Beautiful theme or User Interface.
Customability
SPEED and quickness
Opera 9.5b FIXED DEFAULT KEYBOARD BUG
What i have done is searched countless hours and tried to many things to find a theme or today screen icon that is fast and looks good with good UI but so far i have been uncessful..
I have installed Manila 2D but it just runs sort of sluggish on my Touch and i want something alot faster.
What Custom ROM would you recommend based on the things i have listed, I have seen the Bell ROM and the Manila 2D ROMS and i like both but just do not know which is best and how exactly to install since i have not done a ROM flash
MUST INCLUDE: Download Link
Also please link best and easiest tutorial for installing Custom ROMS
Donations will be considered for helping me.
THANKS!
I made this threat for a guide about cooked ROMs on xda-developers, so the cooked ROMs lover have a guide which ROMs is suitable for them, there is no purpose to compare the ROM, which is best or bad one, once again this is just a little guide abiout the ROMs
like me, first i use ELITE RC3 for my raphael, i really like this ROM, very stable and fast, but the only thing i don't lik eis can't block with my stylush.
and then i upgrade to ELITE RC4, everything great, very stable and fast,have some bug for first but it's was fix by elite team.
and then i try NRG 3.0 magic, acctually this ROM is great but there is problem with S2U software, not suitable for me, and then i back to ELITE RC4 again
just a gfew days ago,i try NRG 3.0 warhawk, until now i think it's still great, did not find any bug yet, unless i can't set same picture for the backround for all tab at TF3D, but that's not a big deal i think
i wait for your experience too
can you all share yours
u shud try tpc v3...i bet u gonna love it...
I like NATFs ROMs as well as Energy ROMs.
Eventhough NATF has swinched to 6.5 cooking, he still has a pretty stable 6.1 ROM out as well.
I like quite clean roms, with stock WM and stock manila 2.1.
without strange customizations like iphone icons in start menu, customs topbar, custom splashscreens etc..
and it seems impossible to find a wm6.5 rom like that. too bad, was ready to donate to have something clean.
NRG 3.0 warhawk is working great for me have had the recent one since it came out and haven't had any issues,

quote from Da_G:
"OK, so i've been working on rebuilding imgfstools from scratch to allow things like uncompressed ROM's, image update, and all that jazz...
This is a barebones stock WM 6.5.x ROM running 23034,
ImageUpdate is currently broken on it (I broke ULDR somehow, working on that!)
But i'd like you guys to try the ROM out (being uncompressed and whatnot) and let me know how it runs. Note that when I say barebones stock, I mean it It's got a comm manager, the camera app, and that's pretty much it
But it should be nice and fast!"
I would like one that is essentially the same as the current stock Fuze ROM from HTC, except with Win 6.5 instead of 6.1.
I wouldn't mind if the trial apps/games were missing from it but it wouldn't matter to me if they're in it. Aside from them, however, I would like everything else that comes with the the standard HTC ROM.
Any suggestions which ROM is the closest to what I want?
Thanks.
All Energy roms work like a charm... the best of the best... too bad NRG switch to TP2.... been waiting impatiently for another great rom... latest Aug 11 (warhack) ... no doubt the best ...

I looked at that but I am not sure it's what I want (unless I am reading something incorrectly). I want only the version of Windows to be different from the stock HTC Fuze ROM.
I wouldn't mind if the trial apps that come with it are missing but that's not important to me either way. What is important is that I'd rather not have any non-standard items (such as apps, skins, dialers, keyboards) or tweaks because I do all that stuff myself and I don't want to waste any extra time figuring out what someone else did differently.
Thanks.

but you can give it a try. If you like stability like you mentioned in your earlier posts, you won't like it. Wait for the full port.
ROM
I have tried all ROM listed in the forum & keep trying every time there is a new one. "Burning my Touch Pro - hahah".
I just try Manila 2.5 today from CM-XOR Pro 1.3_Final, so far it's ok except u have to install KbdFix (to fix the keyboard FN issue). Other than that it is ok. A bit slow thou. Nothing much in the manila 2.5. Mayb more on cosmetic & GUI. One big issue for me, the prog icon is not organize (Genesis is better). All over the screen in "start". I try using "reStart" to organize....not so responsive... so forget it.
Other than that its a god ROM for people who like the "wow" factor on the looks of the UI.
Check out here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493657
Personally i like a clean EnergyRom Genesis 20/9/09. Full of stuff & no bugs so far, except no Ezinput. (i install myself)+touch respond, to add the most. (hopefully EnergyRom can add "lower task bar" with the "start" & "ok" buttom rather than at the top.)
Other than these two you can try "ExquisiteV3.1_1/10/09". Not bad. I love the "lower task bar" which is very usefull for Touchpro as the screen & body is small. With normal task bar, its very diff to touch the "start" & "ok" button at the top.
Here are my best list (all tested)
EnergyROM-Genesis
EnergyROM-Warhawk
Arkl_V1.2
ChaMuze
Exquisite
CM-Xor-full version
I am waiting for;
Intellirom-Alpha Manila 2.5
Sun-CM team manila 2.5 VGA
Which i m sure when they r goin to release it.
Happy trying......

I am looking for the same thing Stock WM and Stock Manilla with updated HTC Appz. No more than that, just an updated stock rom with new packages. Seems that everybody want to put its "touch" the closest to that was Elite Roms however it seems that their development is freeze
I like RRE 6.1 version rom , works great fast also , no issues from past 6-7 months.
ROMS
If you want a simple ROM try Tael Rom v2.23049. Simple & tweak.
Josh's Dark Fusion
TPC Elite
These are my top two picks.
Titanium. A must for me.
I switched from cricket on titan for a year, and the tp for 6 months. I ran every 6.5 rom for the pro and found lots of things I would like to see an 1 rom.
My fav is NRG. Warhawk was great, genesis did something to my cricket phone. After running it for 2 days my screen started to black out, or the images would mix up. Figured it was me flashing many roms a day and making them all work for cricket.
I bought a NIB pro from sprint and switched service, left stock and locked for 2 days, then flashed genesis and after 10 min on my phone it blacked out the screen. First thing I did was norten scan my sd card. 1 infection found and fixed. Flashed back to stock and phone was ok. Next day I put genesis back on, and black screen issue again. It is back to stock and locked. Not happy with 6.1 but it is a stable rom.
I would love a rom that is titanium with all tabs, cprogram launcher, cweather, contacts, opera, internet favs, and not have to add. Chome editor adding cweather give the tab, but it is all blank with a red X for each day icon. Start menu with all the awesome Icon categories like NRG. No honeycombs. I like all most all the progams from stock sprint rom, and NRG roms like prl update. Adobe pdf, a flashplayer that actually loads images in websites. Flashlite 3.1 don't work, nor flash7 ppc with activeX. Websites show install flash player icon, but not sure which or how to get current for ppc. would like touch pro tweaks from nrg, the wifi router from nrg, a calander from manila that actually shows a calendar. IE from nrg but not the recent builds opera as it shows as a mobile browser in most the sites i visit and puts the m in the beginning of urls. Recent core player, and full screen media player.
I have spent lots of time on ppcgeeks, and little here. I came here looking for a new rom.
Start and ok in task bar above screen. But that changed in build 23034 or 37 iirc.
not a cook, but would love to see a sprint rom close to what i discribed. Just my opinion. CDMA

I'm currently trying it, and I think I'll agree.
Except for the custom boot screen, everything is what I was searching for.
to day i have purchased the HTC HD2 Car Holder CU-S400.
When i put my device in the cradle the HTC navigation panel is activated but the icons on the panel dont work they are grey only the phone icon works.
I have flash the rom like you say. ver 9.0 also 8.0 dutch.
When i flash the stoch rom all the icons on the panel works fine.
Can you help me ik love your roms. I install Copilot live
I can't help but have the same problem. Installed custom rom and copilot cab and all I get is the working phone icon. I'm assuming that some of the links are missing to be able to control copilot from navipanel. The chefs that cook up roms without copilot should be able to shed some light on this because they probably know what gets removed from the original rom. So any help would be appreciated.
I'm looking for a solution too. I just don't think the custom roms are made right when it comes to NaviPanel. NO ONE has made a working one and NO ONE listens when it comes to this. I suggest just flashing to stock
Try this!
I had the same problem after re-flashing my phone, but then i ran across this file and tryed it, i found it in some laurentius thread. and now i got fully working navpanel
