Recommended Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi,
I've seen a lot of recommendations for various WinMo 6.5 ROMs and to be honest as this is my first Windows Mobile (HTC Touch Pro) I'm a complete novice and all of the different options confuse me.
What I'm basically after is if HTC announced that they were giving a free 6.5 ROM upgrade to all HTC Touch Pro owners, I want the current unofficial ROM that would most closely resemble that, if that makes sense.
So pretty much a basic Windows Mobile 6.5 build that works with the Raphael.
What would you recommend?

Da_G's clean rom for 6.5 is the closet you're going to get to stock with all Raphael features working link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605

Wonderful. Thank you that's a great help
And if I was feeling adventurous, what would you recommend?
Many thanks,
Chris

I've been running RRE's rom and LOVE it. The nice thing is that if you back up your data, flashing a new rom is an hour process to flash, reinstall everything, so, for me, it's one of those "rainy day" things I play with when the weather is bad.

here we go again with the "best rom" threads........

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502418
i ask for 6.1 not 6.5.... its prob gonna make my phone real slow anyways
he cooks 6.1 roms too but his 6.5 roms are really nice not slow at all and the titanium interface is great for this phone where its low on memory and would have trouble running m2d or spb mobile shell 3

i agree, im using his 6.5 and its much better then 6.1 and forget M2D, now that's a real memorry killer, it was designed for the newer phones that have 3 times as much as the good old ppc 6700

Noob on HTC Diamond - Updating ROM, Taiwanese Model Phone Unlocked Currently in WWE

First post so here it goes!
I've recently bought a second hand HTC Diamond (P3700) with windows mobile 6.1 from HTC in Taiwan. They were awesome with the price and giving me loads of extras for this great phone. The phone was originally in Chinese mandarin but the nice people at HTC converted it to English.
So after a few weeks of playing with the phone and doing some online searching I've found XDA-Developers and people modding, tweaking, upgrading their phones. I thought to myself that this site is like the Holy Grail! So now I'm wanting to to upgrade my ROM but I don't want to do it at the cost of my phone not working based on my location.
So I would like to know my options. I've already seen some excellent looking ROM's but Im not sure if they will make or break my HTC Touch Diamond so any guidance would be very much appreciated.
My current Phone Stats are as follows:
ROM Version: 2.03.707.2
ROM Date: 12/26/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.23
Protocol Vesion: 52.51.25.26U
Please note the phone is Unlocked using a TaiwanMobile (TWM) Sim card. If any more information is required please let me know I would love to start flashing right away! Thanks again in advance.
Welcome to forum
As long as you follow instructions you´ll be fine upgrading your ROM
read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
Then go to Diamond section, select your desired ROM and enjoy!
Good luck,
Thanks for the reply! I'm looking forward to flashing away. I also wanted to know if there is a performance difference when flashing from a 6.1 to a 6.5? I know a lot of people doing it but is there a trade off in doing so.
As 6.5 UI is more " highly graphic" it will be a little bit slower, but nothing too much to worry
I am using it on a 2005 Universal with 64mb of RAM
So it´s ok!
Thanks for your 2 cents, I hope flashing a new ROM will save me time modding my diamond

If you take a look in the diamond rom forum you will find several guides on upgrading a rom and radio. This is probably the best place to start.
Im using a 6.5 rom on my diamond (BSB 6.5 M) at the moment and it is very good. as fast as some 6.1 roms i have used. The 6.5 builds do have some bugs and issues as they are all still beta test versions but im find my current one ok.
I was also curious to what does the radio do. Like i get updating the ROM but why is there a need to update the radio? Im assuming it has something to do with the phone and how it handles reception. My phone at the moment is running great on stock 6.1 but if i upgrade to 6.5 would i need to change my radio?

My girlfriends phone need a stable ROM 6.5

I bought a Kaiser a while back for my gf. I have the touch pro (raphael) with energy rom 3.0. Im looking for something just as stable as that rom for her kaiser. I understand the rule of "flash a ton of roms a try them urself" but this case its a bit different. I dont want to flash a bug ridden ROM (trust me I have done that) and then have her complain for a week until I get the free time to flash another rom (and see her ofcourse). Im looking for a ROM that wont crap out on her, preferably 6.5 with manila 2d and titanium. Thats pretty much all her requirements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS, I have searched and install 3 ROMS with the hotfixes but still have anoying bugs that come out after time.
I wanna find a stable WM 6.5 for my kaiser. btw, how much do u buy ur Kaiser? Is it operator-locked? Thx
unlocked, new on ebay for 160~180 dollars or so, it was about 3 months ago
I think Abusalza's WM6.1 ROM series is worth to try, for example the PDACorner Ultimate X V9
If it must be WM6.5 then may Ultimate X2 v10 will suit her needs.
TPC's ROMs seem a bit faster than Abu's, but I like applications in Abu's ROMs
If you don't mind her not having a lot of the features that make cooked roms better (different dialers, htc customizations, skins, tweaks, etc) then find one of the latest wm 6.5 builds in a light/ultralight rom. install whatever few apps you/she need, and you're done.
In my experience the more complicated the rom, the more likely to find bugs.
you might want to try shifus or gullums mega rom thos are stable enof, atleast for me
You guys are awesome. Thank you. I will first try Ultimate X2 v10, if that screws up im gonna try the naked or ultra light 6.5. Thanks a million.
Just remember you're flashing WM6.5 which isn't official yet that has been ported to a device it was never indended for.
Bugs are going to happen.
Thread Closed.

Best Asus p320 Windows mobile 6.5 ROM

There are a lot of ROMs for windows mobile 6.5 for asus p320 and im really confused as to which ROM is the most stable and is the most responsive . Im currently running 23085 build and i find it pretty slow on my phone and i want to change it to a more stable and more faster ROM even if it is a little older version . I really hope somebody could point out the most stable and fast ROM as of now.
Thanks...
Will someone commnet here... I am also seaching for the WM 6.5 for my ASUS P320 device ?
Go there:
http://asusmobile.net/board/
if you want to spend some time for translations, go there:
http://asusmobile.ru/board/index.php?c=20
(review of topics may give you some WWE roms there)
imo, you'd better find/make good 6.1 system, than struggle with 6.5.x fails.
Unfortunately, your p320 is worst thing you ever can get from Asus(omap cpu,), and there's no WAY to get heavy, fullblown 6.5.x with its "new" gui working ok enough.

Hi Prashanth and Sarvesh,
I am using WM 6.5 ROM build 23504.5.3.0. My device is 2 years old and i like the performance of the ROM. Its faster than WM6.1, more responsive than WM6.1. In short the performance is much better than WM 6.1. You can try it out on psppc.in.
PS: Do you face a network drop issue in your WM 6.5 ROM?

[Q] Touch Pro 5.2 upgrade

Hello,
I have HTC Touch pro that i got from my sister in Australia (3). The phone has:
os 5.2.21916
I am using this in Canada on Fido.
Now the question I have is:
- Is there any official upgrade i can do to this phone? WM 6, 6.1, 6.5??
- As you see I am using a Australian phone in Canada.. I dont really need data. I do use WiFi.. What would be a good ROM for the following criteria:
- FAST
- Bug Free
- Do not care as much for a lot of apps except MS office
- Will be installing Garmin XT
I am a total noob to this whole ROM thingi.. Please help...
no 6.5 official roms exist, official 6.1 and below exist. you can install garmin on any version. NATF (not a treo fan) used to make v. good roms, some versions include stripped down roms for max performance.
some people complain that the sense interface slows down that phone, so check and if you don't like it, you can disable it.
double post, plz delete.
Thanks for the reply..
So I guess the next question is how do I get the official 6.1 ROM (not a cooked one) for this phone.
I checked the HTC site but they don't have anything that I can find....I tried the HTC australia site and the last release is:2008-12-04
From the HTC www site I see there is: 2009-08-30
htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=140&act=sd&cat=2
Can someone confirm that i can put this on my phone which has OS5.1 currently?
Sorry for spammin.. but I guess my confusion is from the fact that..
After I installed the ENERGY 6.5 ROM, the Settings>about tells me that OS is 6.5
but when i do settings>Phone info>SW info: It says Os version is: 5.2.21916
So I guess the question is how do I updated my phone's base OS to 6.1
You should do a little more research before posting
I'm not trying to be rude, but you're going to run people down really quick with this line of questioning. Most of the answers to your questions could be answered by just reading more threads, maybe even a little wikipedia. I'll give you one hint: your phone does not have (nor did it ever have) Windows Mobile 5, and there is no such thing as WinMo 5.1 or 5.2. Unless your sister installed a new ROM, you've got Windows Mobile 6.1.
Now, go back and do some more research and decide for yourself: what ROM do you want to install? Is there a reason you don't want a cooked ROM? (is it because you believe that the "official" ROMs somehow are better?)
Good luck!
You can test what rom you like by flashing different ones rather than ask "what rom is the best?" I have no idea what your tastes are. It doesn't hurt to flash different roms as long as you back up your data
In my opinion, the custom roms blow away official roms in terms of performance and cosmetics. (All my opinion, you choose for yourself)
