Hi all... yes I'm not a newbie! However, I'm asking a newbie question because I am looking for a good stable ROM for a friend. He has a 64MB Uni and I want to upgrade his ROM to a stable 6.1 ROM (currently he has WM5, so I figure 6.1 isn't too different in looks, but in usability is much better).
I obviously thought of a Tomal ROM, but seeing as I have 128MB machine it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't know what was best for 64MB. Howabout v8.9? Or v7.7 seems to be very popular?
I see that ngochoangimsat also has his latest 21055 out.
I'm obviously looking for stability. I don't need all the wizz-bang UI (he's an elderly gentleman), but obviously nothing clunky either! A simple interface that's stable and has a fair amount of memory left for a 64MB machine.
With thanks guys & gals...
Hi Jonny
Go for Tomal 8.5 or 8.2
Or the latest Beasty & Laurentius ROM
Both are very stable.
Cheers,
Hello!
I recommended you tommal 8.9. I use it and it's very stable, very useful, with big menus so you can touch the screen without pen. Works perfect with 128dpi.
See you!
definitely tomal 8.5 and 8.2 are good and 8.9 is bit hi-fi... if you looking for more ram then either ngochoangimsat or thingsonaspring v1.1

hi guys,
i'm a bit confused, what is currently the best 6.1 rom for the tornado?
thanks!
Good question !
Just check each version and pick the one with the features you need.
Yeah! good question and best answer is check all the roms available here one by one all yourself.
My experience is 6.1 pro by Kamikadze is the best with all taste of PPC but you need some tweaking/mapping hard keys to functions of your prefer.
OK don't trust anybody .. you are the best judge.

For me it WM6.1 Plane Jane Final as long as you install it properly
IMHO at this time WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval is best 6.1 rom.
Why?
-plain and clean, no custom graphics, themes etc.
-no custom apps - everybody have own favourite apps...
-FAST !!
Of course if You don't mind lack of xt9 (beside EN or RU) and a bit troubling controls the best is WM6.1 PRO RC5!!!made by Kamikadze
-PRO!!!
-Tornados fastest rom
Yep, the best ROM should be at least Clean and Fast....
Maybe this is not the place to post this question, but somehow related: which version is the most widely installed in the devices?

There really is no way of telling that 'cos you don't know what people have installed. And to be honest, as others have said in this thread, it's all down to personal taste. You have to try them all and see which one suits your needs / or appeals to you. My personal opinion is that WM6 is more stable on the Tornado than WM6.1, although I do like the additional features you get with 6.1... it doesn't cost you anything to try the ROM's, apart from a little time.
One giveaway to the most used, is the ROM's with the most posts
Yeah, you're right. And regardign the WM6.1 Standard Vs. the WM6.1 PRO... how is the balance? The PRO is a bit of a gamble in a Tornado, ins't it? I'd say most people will go the safe way and choose Standard?

I got my SDA about 10 days ago and wanted to upgrade from WM5 to WM6.
Installed:
1. WM6 English ROM Platinum Edition (Service Pack 1) OS 5.2.1711.18165.0.5.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365023
It's NOT WM6.1 , too many programs I don't need. Seems to have to many buggy menus. Didn't like it.
2. [Release 11Jun08] WM6.1 (not so) Plain Jane - 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) FINAL
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406716
This one is 6.1, quite nice, has cool progs. It felt slow and unresponsive and I didn't like home menu and didn't want to bother editing it
3. [Mar 27, 2008] WM6.1 Clean 5.2.19202 (Build 19202.1.0.0) Eval
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375670
The one I use now. Neat and fast. No bugs!
Hi,
I'm almost about to buy the Vox. It comes with WM 6.0, is it wise to flash it to WM6.1?
Wich rom would be the best? Depens on what apps i need?
And is it possible to play gameboy emulators with it?
thanks very much

Personally I'm running the Lefab47 Fireburned WM6.1 ROM
12 months in the VOX is still hands down the best phone Ive ever owned.
6.1 is a definate yes - its a big improvement
I would also suggest getting one of the XIP 20202 core roms as this addresses on of my only 2 gripes with the VOX, namely the speed - it was slightly underpowered, however with the new core speed is no longer an issue its greatly improved so my only remaining grip is that the camera could be better - but hey its almost perfect.
DO BUY ONE - they are seriously good
I found pocketGBA, hope this works.
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.

All is on the title...
No more ROM in the future
I agree with you, but.....
There doesn't seem to be anything to replace it. I've tried Kaiser, Magic and Diamond hardware, all of which suck in comparison.
So I've ended up back on the uni - the other phones are all heading to ebay.
Any suggestions as to how we liven up the uni a bit?

Yep, the Uni is unbeatable about the life, any vanilla ROM with one of the latest builds will be nice WM6.1/6.5
My way of keeping my Uni fun was SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, it is just like getting a new user interface, so doesn't matter so much what ROM it is running, even WM5. The only thing I needed was 128Mb RAM. However, I have to say that having 128/256 on my LG KS20 felt amazingly roomy, wish my Uni had that much space.

I agree completely. spb ms3.5 plus any lightweight stable rom will do the trick for 64MB uni pls take note however that spb ms is not for free (yu need a little resourcefulness though ).
of course, blessed are those with upgraded ram

There are still a few Chefs alive in Uni section!
So Uni will never die, even if there is no mre new ROM´s we reached WM6.5 on a device with WM5, so we are actual.
And I´m sure someone will find the way to port the new look of WP7 in the future!
I have tested several HTC devices and have to agree, none of them can be compared, even if they are faster...not even my Rhodium (which is a great device)
UNIVERSAL will never die!!
OK, so a bit of a rom refresh would cheer people up. I'll package up a 21068/21051 rom in the next few days. This build has been running on my Uni for a few months now so I know it's stable, there's just some loose ends to tidy up. It'll also finally ditch tcpmp 0.81 in favour of the latest 0.72recomp3 which now matches 0.81 for playback speed and doesn't have the annoying screen rotation bug.
If you still love your uni, and you've not had it upgraded to 128mb yet - go and find a way to get it upgraded! It gives the phone a new lease of life - snappier, more versatile and it seems to improve battery usage. (I suspect the battery improvement is due to reduced CPU-load and Flash-reads when pagepooling is disabled)
Note that you can run a 64mb device without pagepooling, but RAM tends to fill up quite quickly, resulting in apps refusing to load or acting all crashy. That said, there are ways to improve memory management (auto-hibernate for one) that might make it more of an option.
@Enigma - 256MB would rock - particularly for those who like to dabble with linux/android. It's just a shame nobody makes 128mb chips in the right packaging. :-(
Great to know something new will come!!, hope for 64Mb too
Shame for me upgrade to 128mb it´s very hard to accomplish
Great news!
thingonaspring ,
greart news to hear!
I have been using Cotull Q3 WM 6.1 for ages.......nothing beats it. (IMHO)
And with 128 MB RAM it's "snappy".
A new ROM is always welcome.Waiting with appreciation.
Thanks.

Can we change the title of the thread?...it is rather depressing and misguiding.
And do you expect us to suggest any apps to include in the ROM or would it be a Vanilla one?
uni dead nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!
mine has tomal V8.9, windows 6.1 and spb mobile shell (yes i was resourceful and got it.) and mine now runs like a charm and give my 64mb xda exec a new ui and fresh look.
we still need roms for our 64mb unis for all those like me that dont have ours upgraded.
carry on the good work cheff's we all really appreciate you keeping our unis alive.
long live the uni
btw i have the new nokia 5530, but my uni beats it hands done in everyway.
The rom is now uploaded here :-

I´m completly agree about this, I think we should ask OP first
@teddybear3k, do you think you can consider this request please?
Also today Sun Dream released a new ROM, so Uni will be still alive!!!
OK title changed.
Here I can tell my IMATEJASJAR not dead, he is the top, the only disadvantage is the ram, but I already have a donor hand and will follow the operation and 128mb ram will be happy if you still make good ROMs for our UNI, maybe one day I learn to cook roms for my faithful friend
Hi All,
Since long time I'm using ROM's from this forum and am quite happy with them!! Now that most ROM development for the WIZARD seems to retire I would consider one final upgrade to WM6.5. Question is: which one would be best in stability and speed? Up to now I spotted the Iphone killer rom from tech teamup and the CR96 WM6.5 RC5 from cracing. Since the last rom I've been using is the CR96 Touch HD 3.0.0 I would consider the CR96 rom, but the other one seems to be more recent.
What would you recommend? Or should I just stay with WM6.1 if I want speed and stability?
Greetings,
Mogwai
Stay with WM6.1 - try Ham3r's roms (H3r5 ) - they are fast, and have lot of free ram
My favorites are WM6.1: H3r5 or Scripted Angel by RoryB.
But you asked about WM6.5, and in that domain my favorite is CR96 RC5 Reloaded. Ham3r has the most recent WM6.5, a good, clean beta.
