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.
So who can recommend a good stable close to factory rom with just the fixes it needs. Ill hack the reg myself.

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

That was actually pretty funny. Instead of making it just for Steam forums they should have made it generic to forum posting...then we could make it an introductory training video on every web forum!
Can some one suggest which Rom out there is the most stable and fastest eg: NBD 9.2 or Octavia 5 etc
i think the best way is to test urself
anyway im using TNT.1437 Series and it is very fast and stable without over clocking

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.

Tried several, only Jaguar is stable, reliable, and doesn't miss calls. (current rev. is Jaguar 2).
ICTDifrentie ROM
I love the ICTDifrentie.NL rom.
its fast smart and easy to use
Greats Antonius
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)

Reason : "Which ROM is the Best" type.
Seriously guys, just try a few and you'll see for yourselves which you like more.
Read the ROM threads and see what other people say about it.
Try it and make up your own opinion.
BUT PLEASE,
STOP STARTING THESE THREADS !
SORRY I LEFT OUT Q-MOBILE! If you're using it or another unlisted custom ROM, just choose "other" and then post below to specify which ROM you're using.
In fact, even if you choose a specific "chef," please specify WHICH version/variation you're using and WHY.
I'm currently on Dutty #6 - tried #7, but I didn't find it quite as good. Waiting for 8! I might try other people's ROMs at some point, but that's partly why I asked this question - I want to know whose ROMs are most popular and why. Fast? Stable? Clean? Useful?
Dutty's Rom
I am using Dutty's Tilt Rom...uh on my tilt. It seems very stable and I have a bunch of apps running. It's been about 2 weeks and so far so good.
The only problem with loading one of dutty's rom's is that he never sleeps so you get addicted to flashing your Kaiser.: eek:

I've got to agree with you... I'm addicted now. But which version are you using?
I'm using Dutty's latest No. 7. For me, his ROMs have been very stable and fast.
XDA Live v1.2. I like the design goal of maximizing storage space and only installing what I want. It's almost like cooking my own rom, but much easier.
I'm using Dutty's No. 6 Lite HTC ROM.
I always want to have a clean, fast and stable ROM. I was running CUSTEL v2.1 first, but decided to turn to Dutty's ROMs because he has LOTS of updates! (I like flashing )
Maybe (if possible) you should add Q-Mobile ROM to the poll! I looks like an interesting ROM.

Dangit - won't let me change it. I just noticed that myself. I guess people will have to choose "other" and type it in. I'd hate to start the poll over. :-/ Can a mod step in and help out?
Sorry Q!!!
Dutty's ATT touchflow ROM.
Full featured, has many of the extras already built in, minus that AT&T bloat crap. It runs very well for me.

No problem, besides...having just posted it last night the adoption rate would take a while anyway--and thats assuming people like it.
Was using Dutty's Tilt-Touchflo Beta but I ran into some issues and now I'm trying out Q's. Looks good so far, fast, stable.
XDA-Live 1.2 for me. It's very stable, everything works like it's supposed to, and I like how streamlined and fast it is. I wanted an ATT Tilt specific ROM, and of those choices, this one works the smoothest. I like to be able to customize what apps are on there too.

Agreed. This is my current cooked ROM of choice after using 5 superb ROMS. Check it out. Simple, lightweight, fast and stable (for at least a full day of use)
Hat's off to all the chefs!
Currently using Dutty Touchflo 2 final non tilt edition on my tilt..... its the best for me till now... gave the no. 6 touchflo rom a try, but it was severely crippling my Tilt with random occasional freezing.... I am very happy with Touchflo 2.... its uber-fast and I simply love its freaky-fast responsiveness.....
i am using Helmi_C since day one, tried different ROM but i ended up going back, it's old, but it's quick, fast and big storage! most of all, it's quite stable and no problem whatsoever!

I should have agreed with you a few weeks ago. Helmi_c had a very nice and stable ROM for a long time.
I've used Dutty's ROMs and CUSTEL ROMS but I still think Helmi_C had the best ROM for a long time.
Today I flashed Q-Mobile 1.0 ROM and I gives me the "Helmi_C" feeling!
It's clean, fast and seems to be stable! I think I'll stick with this one. (At least for a couple of days )
XDA Live 1.2
So far so good with this ROM. I didn't want to screw around with a non-at&t variant because I'm a noob. I loaded some SPB software and iGO for GPS and it's running great. There's loads of storage available since the ROM is smaller.
As far as stability goes, it works well enough when I reset every couple of days. Sometimes there are random freezes when it is unresponsive but these have gone down a bit since I figured out installing everything to the device works best. I had one SOD a couple nights ago when screwing around with finger-friendly friends but only that once. For now I am just going to use the stock contact supplemented with SPB contacts on Today.
The reason I plan on sticking with this ROM is that I figure Kyphur has a good chance of getting it completely stable easier than a ROM with a bunch of programs. It's already blazing fast and the radio version works well for me so far.
Q-Mobile 1.0 here - I've tried every rom, and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Q-Mobile just seems to fit nicely in with what I expect the device to do, and how I think it should look. Fast, stable, no bugs that I've found, and a nice set of default apps.
I hate to reply to this one since it should be up to you to read up on it and try it out. But then again you want instant gratification so here DUTTY's rom no.6 or later. Why? Because no one else has put forth more time and effort into releasing these roms than he has and not to leave out his beta tester community too.
I'm not sure what it is, but I got that weird freezing on every rom I tried out. Right now, I'm using Alex cook your own rom and that is causing freezing, too. Any roms out there that don't have that freezing problem? I think its a normal thing cause the base rom.
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.

that would be bmw. now that we got that out the way we can move on with our lives.
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.
Matthew
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.

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.

I have searched already and haven't found reviews of the new cooked and stock roms out there that we all use and love. If your flash happy like myself you would love to here unbiased reviews of the roms and I don't mean whats in the exisiting threads for each rom that have complaints, rants, and flaming. If anyone else would like to jump on this please let me know or just start reviewing the roms yourselves and the mods will hopefully start a sticky for reviews. Thanks and to all the great chefs keep up the good work.
dutty's roms are quite nice. They've got the basics. You'll probably need to install a few things for personal needs, but not too much.
For example, I always install HTC's Task manager. But he took it out since some people liked the WKTask (eww).
I've tried a few random others, and some pack in too many apps
**Edit for links** http://duttythroy.lives-in.eu/
->Current thread for V4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361544
I'd like to be able to stick with a ROM for long enough to be able to do a full review
Agreed, Duttys v4 felt nice but I changed to Q-Mobile because I was having problems with bluetooth on the v4 rom.... After playing around with the Q-Mobile rom I don't actually think that the BT problem was caused by duttys rom.
Q-Mobile is nice and clean but I've had problems installing some stuff, again might not be anything to do with the ROM and it may well be the user and or the cabs at fault
What I'd really like is to try out a WM6.1 rom to see if the new network drivers sort out my wifi problem but Im really unsure as to which is the best, hopefully some people will post their thoughts on 6.1 roms in here.

duttys are typically the more favored... but recently i think sleuth stole the spotlight back with wm6.1 v3.0 it is faster than a cheetah on steroids

That sounds fast
Roms depends on user needs Some people like fancy stuff. Like duttys one and some others with dual touch, cube etc.... And some people are professional they want fast, effective. I am in love with sleuth rom. I didnt have to install separate radio, separate java bla blah. Everything working out of the box working fine. Some people have issues like skype and core player. But they are problem with all 6.1 version.
I would of LOVED sleuth's wm 6.1 v3.0 if the audiomanager worked There were a few other small things, such as how to disable threaded sms, without killing the notifications (I didn't really like the threaded smsing, but I got enough smses that if I didn't get a notification it would mean lots of missed smses)
I spent the last 10 hours or so flashing different roms onto my phone, I've went back to Q-mobile 1.2 =/
If you don't mind the threaded sms and don't use audiomanager (I installed mortplayer to compensate) I'd suggest Sleuth's 3.0 6.1 rom.
I've tried just about every rom here and I keep going back to Q-Mobile 1.2.
I love dutty's customizations, but I have to agree that Quentin's are the most polished. I have tried almost all of them and have settled on Quentin's Q-Mobile 1.2 for now (with a lot of my own customizations of course).
Just wait a little bit
All I have to tell you guys is wait and see
Current is Sleuth 3.0 WM6.1
I am using an ATT Tilt version in the US, I have tried many of the current roms (to me some were more well done than I like, Some were not stable or under done) I like 3 roms
WM 6.1 - I like Austinsync's rom and Sleuth 3.0
WM 6.0 - I like Q-Mobile 1.2 (Sorry have not tried any others but the Sleuth version is probably good there too)
Cheers
BR
For now, I'm staying away from the 6.1 roms (I have a feeling that "for now" will change to "right now" once dutty's new one is released) but I've been using dutty's V4 since the day it was released and I love it. It's very fast and has everything you need.
...for now.

Haze,
I would say give Dutty a couple of days, or a week at the most, and he will release his newest flavor. The beta testers have worked really hard to get a perfect ROM to the community. You will be pleasantly surprised at the result. One thing you should know. Dutty has been building a WM6.1 ROM without a phone much like Schap's does which is quite amazing.
why do they both do it without phones? Did their phones break or are they using other ones? Anyways I like Q-Mobile 1.2 but I received a lot of error messages I didn't get on other roms. Sleuths is good also but a little too clean for my liking. Downloading Dutty v4 now hopefully this is a winner until his 6.1

Dutty's phone bricked and Schap's has never had a device.
I have 2 devices, 1 with dutty's WM6.1 and the other is Sleuth 3.0's WM6.1. Both are great in their respected fields. I think dutty's is the most organized of the two. Speed wise Sleuth is ahead but thats also due to a larger page file.

What page pool are you rockin' right now. Notice any difference in battery life?
Sleuth 3.0's WM6.1 rocks!
Tried Alex 6.1 but have no luck with no-sound problem.
Switched to Sleuth 3.0 and I stay so far.
Waiting for new version of dutty. I hope secret testing policy will help here (?)
I think it would be awesome if Dutty made a clean version of 6.1 along with his regular version. I hate having all kinds of extra programs that I'm never use.

Sleuth's 6.1 is at 32MB and it's very fast and responsive. No issues with battery life. I'm on the 2nd full decharge right now. 1st run died at about 452 with bluetooth on in a E area. Dutty's default is 24 if i'm not mistaken. dutty's has the best battery life so far. I'll make a better report when i wake up, 2am here and I need to be in the office at 8. Night all
