Hi guys,
My HTC Polaris / TC is getting very shabby (looks) and technically a bit "steam powered" for a lot of new swanky UI's etc...
While I like all the new UI's/iPhones / iPads etc - on this device I'd rather go for stability and efficient OS, versus animated clocks and desktops etc.
Can someone confirm for me - is doing all this cool UI stuff etc on what is actually a rather old phone these days, basically "overwhleming" the hardware - i.e is it using more HW resource to run the cool stuff, versus the original / clean WM6.1 / 6.5?
Hi,
in reply to your message...
I think best rom for polaris is 3LIT3 ROM.
I'm currently using the version VIII (8°) of 3LIT3 FULL (ITA)
and onestly it is not bad at all...
...but in my personal opinion,
"the best" ROM (in terms of responsivness, global usability of the phone)
(I keeped for more than 6 months),
is the 3LIT3 ROM version V (5°)...
and you can have different versions of 3LIT3 too...
(one is called CLEAN, another NAKED (means essential)
another one is COMPLETE and mine is FULL)
The sad thing is that currently on the xda forum
it is not very easy to find old version of 3LIT3 ROMs
but I can share my version V (but it is a FULL ITA, not WWE)
or you can post a request...someone else here will help for sure!
Good Luck
For me Megan is another good rom , and caravalho too.. did you try those?
Best radio never tried 1.59.44.02, like you use.
being an old speed from from the early artemis section, i strongly advise you to dump the stock rom once you start thinking about speed!!!
i just received my p3650 with stock rom on it and i thought "holy cow, if that is what the improvements over my old p3300 are all about, i am gonna dump this p3650 right away!"
well, good to see old habbits stay...so i went about fiddling with them various roms from the polar section and i am currently sticking with 3LIT3...not dumping the p3650

Hi,
I have a G4 Wizard (T-Mobile Mda Vario to be exact). It'll be my first flashing. So I've done a good deal of reading and searching the net.
And here comes the big decision - which ROM to choose. I want an English language WM 6.0 or 6.1 ROM for G4. That still isn't a big problem since there are many of them.
But I'd like to ask you guys what's the cleanest (emptiest) ROM? (WM6.0/1 for G4)
What I mean by that is I don't want too many applications coming with it - I want to install what I need on my own.
Of course I want it to have the basic applications that normally come with WM (when you're buying a WM6 device) such as phone, camera, office and all that.
I've found that there had been a topic about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298969&highlight=cleanest+rom), but that one is more than a year old and I guess new ROMs have come out.
Thanks in advance,
Alex(ander)

Try this.The lite version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=388229
Or this.The Vanilla Edition
I use the HTC business edition ROM. It's WWE, smal and very stable...

thank you very much
I tried the SNN Edition Version 3.0 LITE but it didn't work (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2172475).
Before I used the Mun RUU fraham replied and I tried HTC business edition ROM which seemed better for me (I've read all 12 pages about SNN and all 13 about HTC Business Edition).
Works great
I say, cook your own. that's the cleanest you will ever get
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

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

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

The one I use now. Neat and fast. No bugs!
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.

Hello!!
I'm a new user of the HTC Raphael.
I Started with it original roms (Frensh SFR) very boring ...
Now I'm trying some cooked ones:
|RAPH|ROM|6.5.5|WWE| ★ EnergyROM 'Leo' (23518/21889) ★ |Jan 18| Sense 2.5 !
[ROM][WWE][PRO|FUZE][WM6.5.3|28002][21NOV09] TAEL ROM v3.28002 • STANDARD EDITION •
Go to first new post [ROM][WWE][15 Jan 10] Exquisite 4.03a WM 6.5 (23518) for Touch Pro [GSM]
etc etc
For my opinion: I think that EnergyROM 'Leo' is tbe best, graphically not but very fast and we have all the soft that the need.
It will be very nice if members here tried to share their impressions about the different roms they are using...
Thanks
the first rom i used was NATF it came flashed on my fone, i changed 2 energyrom i did like it but after a while it was getting laggy for me i also tried tpc joshkoss 1 of my favorites but in my opinion i like ChromeRommas the most its fast great graphics and has all the good apps.
Thanks for reply...i get bored with rom using touch flo3D they are very slow
Ah... french Sfr, a real **** (i know what about i'm speaking... "c'est à ce moment qu'on se dit que finalement on n'aurait pas du prendre l'offre opérateur ").
I think lots of WM 6.5 Roms are useful, lots of utilities inside... but slow, not smooth. I had to hard reset once a week (Messaging is very bad !).
The fastest ROM is a WM 6.1 ROM with Touch Flo, and no Manila. Since i've tried Manila, i've some problems (no really problems, but i hate lag on my phone).
The next ROM i'll try is WM 6.1 TF3D (RomeOS or GEN.Y for example).
I have used around 4 different ROMs since getting my HTC Fuze almost a year ago. I personally have just recently began using EnergyROM Phoenix 2 WM 6.5 build 21889 after hearing so much about it. I must say I am very impressed. I switched to it from TPC in an attempt to fix a bluetooth issue (which it turns out was not even related to the TPC ROM).
So far I really like EnergyROM. It makes the phone feel like a device that is a pleasure to use. However, I also found that when I was using TPC V3 I had the same experience. Before using these two ROMs it always felt like I was wrestling with the phone whenever I wanted to do something with it.
I personally am now partial to EnergyROM due to the aestetics. On both ROMs however the internet browsing is very fast and most pages render really well. I also seem to get much better overall network speeds on these two, but this could very well be related to a radio upgrade I did along with them. I seem to get very good battery life with both ROMs. GPS also seems to easily work great on both. I actually prefer the dialer used on Energy as it seems to integrate very well on the phone, but TPCs also works good. Application wise both of them come with tons of essentials. I found that TPC seemed to have more integrated, but most of them I do not utilize. One big plus I found on the applications is that Energy has a working "HTC Wifi Router". This did not previously work on my phone before.
Forgot to include one of my favorite parts of the current Energy ROM I am using. This ROM is using Sense 2.1. This is an absolute joy to use! It very closely resembles what TF3D is, but works 200% better! I experience very little lag and all of the integrated features I have tried work as they should. Not to mention that it just looks amazing. This is what TF3D should have been! I almost feel sorry for people who still use the stock ATT ROM and TF3D and have not been able to experience either a custom ROM and/or Sense, as it makes the device a whole new experience!
Wish I could give a better review of both ROMs, but I have only used both for a week so far!
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)
