Why You Say This ?! Is My Sentence Wrong ?

No, your english is fine (although strange in the use of capitalization), I think he means you will not get a fair and accurate representation of which ROM is the best.
From a technical standpoint, the Helmi and Indra releases are the best. (Indra's was based on an early Helmi image also)
But!
Because nearly everyone running WM6 here is a newbie, and newbies love new things, you will invariably see a high percentage leaning towards the PDAVIET ROM images.
PDAVIET ROM images are nothing more than rebuilds of existing images pandering to a community that is too lazy to install icons, registry changes, or localisation applications themselves, so rather than release CAB files, they just build a new ROM and watch everyone update.
Total madness.

I see your point, AlanJC, and i'm agree with you, but not totally.
I use HEIMI Rom (actually the old 3.5), and i consider that people have to use and publicize the material made from the real "artist" and not the one that are only remaskered and selled as original.
But for us newbies, it is not so pratical and easy to catch around the forum the various programs, cabs, registry elements and so on to proceed from a vanilla to a multiflavour rom.. even reinstall a new rom is a jump into the void for not-rom-programmers.. you know..
I think that best work is to make a sticky and frequently adjourned post in which there are listed the various extension (programs, icons, etc) with the links that are fine to be appliable at HEIMI or others Vanilla roms, and 2-3 line short explaination for the installation. It is an easy work for you experts, and a great solution for us dummies.
(sorry for my english)

Dear Friends , Please Take Part In This Topic & Poll !

i believe Helmi's rom is not a true WM6 as it is lacking some of the features even compared to PDAvient

that cant be justified mate...
the rest of the needed apps are given as .cab files
cheers

wm6 and communication
I would like to understand which is the meaning of communications in WM6. Now you see for mail you should have the possibility to select what communication configuration use, but only appears "internet" with independence of you having more.
Some explanation on this matter should be great...

prefer AKU 3.5 by Helmi.

Don't be a plank. Anyway I did a detailed analysis of the differences between the two roms in one of the other threads.

Definitely a plank!
In my experience, the only "features" it's lacking compared to PDAViet ROMs are third party apps

mUn vs LVSW WM6 rom

Hi, anyone know the difference between the 2 rom in its initial release?
Thanks

They're both working beta versions, both have bugs, maybe not the same ones but still bugs.
Unless you want to bugtest the ROMs, leave it for a week or so for the next versions to come out.
These are not ROMS you want to flash if you're looking for a stable replacement for WM5, therefore if you're asking which is best, the answer is, neither, at the moment.
If you want to know the differences, read through the threads for each one and see what problems people are having with them.

well, there's a lot of differences here and there.
Mun's rom is a higher version of WM6, and includes some stuff (office 2007 compatibility) that LVSW's doesn't. Of course LVSW's has some tools and apps that Mun's doesn't have. Haha.. It's pretty tough to compare them.
I will say this, I found Mun's ROM to be a bit faster in terms of bringing up new programs/windows. I dunno if that has anything to do with his customization or just the version of WM6. However right now a lot of people (including me) are having trouble using activesync with this version. I switched to LVSW and am syncing fine now.
There's some other issues here and there regarding VOIP and stuff that separate them...
hope it helps. As always, for comprehensive info, you need to go read the posts..

Well my opinion is that this thread is pointless, try thrm both and you will find out which one fits your needs, thats all, it is not a hard task

so if active sync works in one and not in the other how about some combined work?

How about waiting until a stable release comes out. I mean wtf, it has been a little over a day and people already want the perfect ROM.
Tweaking a ROM takes a lot of effort. Its not always that easy to locate problems and even if you do, they are not always easy to fix.
Give it a few weeks or wait for an official ROM if you can't deal with a few bugs here and there.

Who is complaining? I think you are misreading peoples intentions here by criticising the ROMs. It is in essence part of the testing process that you give feedback and also desire to solve the issues.
Noone is expecting the perfect ROM, but if you dont want the perfect the ROM then what is the point in developing?

I didn't quote anyone so I refered to the previous post by jpless.
Maybe I misread it but he made it sound like it was as easy as putting feature A from ROM1 into ROM2.
Its possible for some parts but could introduce a lot more new bugs.
I'm sure mun_rus and LVSW are well aware of each others Roms, it just takes time to evolve it to the state WM5 is in today. Especially since we don't have an official WM6 Rom.
Sorry for my harsh tone earlier. In time, we'll have a perfect WM6 Rom.

I take them both.
Mun's ROM so Quickly
LVSW was able to sync
Thanks a lot both MUN/LVSW .

@ZakMcRofl
Thanx for comments. You are absolutly right.
Just wait for next release. I have to test new rom before and should say that:
-AS sync - OK
-GPS camera - ok
-etc
I have no chance t otry videocall, so don't know anything about it

I'm waiting for the second betas to come out, and I think I'll jump on Mr. Mun_Rus's rom because, well, I sent him money, so I might as well use the results of that, right?

In the name of healthy competition, I declare that I find mUn's ROM the better of the two after careful evaluation. So im going to go back to mUn's ROM for now. Faster and less buggy camera-wise. Maybe you are tired of this now, but thanks again to both you and lvsw for your work.

You didn't quote but referred? Anywho I know it's not as easy as it sounds, just thought that maybe by comparing the bugs in either one we could maybe help solve some of them or something Just trying to help here...

Usually its considered bad style to quote the person right before you since it takes up board space and is the default reference point anyways.
The problem with the bugs is that you can't always pinpoint them to a single file or module, otherwise what you say would be possible (replace the file from other ROM).
A Rom error can come from a file, a registry entry or combinations of the former. Obviously having a comparison base can help but its obvious that LVSW and mun_rus already use it plenty - check their WM5 AKU 3.5.x Roms for example.

MUn is Best
In all the roms I've tried, Mun was the very first I tried, and although I don't use it any more, It was the most stable, IE I didn't soft reset it unless an installation wanted me to, it never crashed on me.

dude... the last post on this thread was in 2007...
happy new year

Im really not intending to be a jerk, but you asked for critique, and now appear to be surprised it isn't flying off the shelves, so to the point, you post a ROM you cooked, which has apps inside you appear to know nothing about, magic ss..and since when is "glossy black bars" an app, and then don't even really post much info about it, other than its bloated..that's besides the point that I myself don't think I could even bare to tell someone I was running a rom named "Mr Bloaty".
If you want more downloads, you're going to have to put a little more effort into it...maybe some version info/screenshots, instead of just throwin up a download link to what appears to be a bloated turd that you and your friends though up after a few too many beers..or something one night.
Sorry if I sound rude, just calling it as I see it.

IIRC Glossy black bars is a small utility that appeared in some of the Black Roms.
Also, should you want a very heavily laden ROM, I would suggest that using Pandora's kitchen would be the way forward. (Choose what you want)
You don't give much info on what you have done to the ROM - but as you say you are new to all this, it will not fill people with confidence and tempt them to try it.

Ahh my bad, ty for the info on the app, had always just done it manually myself, or rather nowdays I just have a shortcut and HW key mapped to an exported reg value.

basically i used pandoras kitchen, and added virtually all the apps included, there are a few people like me who dont want a lite rom, i like a rom with quite a few apps included, I dont enjoy a few beers with mates, i like looking round for apps and sharing this, and many other ppc sites with every ppc owner i know, so i thought i would do a basic (i know only the basics what i read on here and the wiki) rom, yeah its not up there with the gods (schaps,jasjamming and the rest) but its my contribution to this forum
As for calling it MR BLOATY, its full of bloat.... mr bloaty is only the name of the rar file.
Its based on the Tmobile 3.60 rom (so i been told)
Im sorry that i have not added more info on the rom, or screenshots, all i know it runs pretty nippy, you will have to add your own internet settings, and if you want office, you will have to add the .cab yourself
Again, im a bit of a noob round these parts, i basically had a good read of the forum on how to use pandoras kitchen, studied all parts of the rom, constructed it, and converted it to download.
I dont mind if you download or not, its just my contribution here
its been downloaded 27 times too. so at least my work not being wasted

OK - I don't think the aim of the posters here ( me included) was to put you off sharing your efforts, rather to enable more people to try it.
Just add the following facts to your first post:
ROM created using the Tmobile Test Rom version of Pandora.
The following applications have been included :
.....
.....
.....
No other changes made to the ROM
Doesn't include Office (Will need to install using cab)
Will need to add own network settings
OS only upgrade (I assume this is right?)
Seems to run fast and no issues noticed to date (Again, is this correct)
And that should be all we need to know. Keep up the good work!

ok, thanks for that, will upgrade first post....

Karmba_a 6.2 EN [Personnal Modified Version !!!!]

i was told never to publish someone's rom after modified, but it is sick to do everything again from alpha and many testers involved only for a little improvement i can make to all Trinity Lovers.
Well , this rom is the one have tiny changes from Karmba_a 6.2(F*cking Great Rom it is), i believe Karmba_a did 99% of the job, i only did a very tiny job to modify it. if you like this rom, please THANK Karmba_a and ask him to make a donate link. :-D
Karmba_a 6.2 En is a great rom, touch flo works wonderfull, no obvious bug, including programes are just alright.
here is the update list made by me from Karmba_a 6.2 Rom
1, Build in the old-good-xip, E-mail accounts/passwords/connect/BT Parternership... won't lost anymore i believe. (thx ausdim)
PS: 14/12/2007 Tested in last 10 days, reset/drain battery/power cut/system hang and reset for hundreds of times, my Gmail account and GPRS connections are still there, so it is very sure that the problem is 100% fixed.
2, change the sounds,3rd screen, themes, to be wm6 original(also can be change to "black theme" in settings), fix the theme bug as well.
3, Update the connect wizard to 1.0.30(from bepe's rom),it works better than 1.0.29 after comparetion.
4, fix a Cpl's name(HSDPA Switch), relocate some shortcuts to the reasonable place.
5, no auto-clean at everytime reset(it clean too hard), and removed regedit and the little shutdown program(cause it doesn't really work)
6, many no important things, like: lowing down the GPS speeding Alarm volume(it was too too loud), Remove Big Startmenu(ugly in my opinion),del some rubbish reg,replace a better HTC Black Tsk, little reg tune in "TouchFlo System",. maybe one or two little changes i can't remember, but i did everything for reasons.
7, Made in China (does't mean it support Chinese, this is a English rom. Maybe it means this rom is cheap,no donate ha ha)
PS: i just find out i have a will to make the appearence of this rom(Karmba_a 6.2 En) close to HTC original one....
in case you like this rom and want to say thanks to me, Please make sure you have already thanked Karmba_a first!!
**Apoc reported A2DP have some bugs, dont know how bad it is and if it can be recovered. think before using this if you have A2DP handset.
Link Updating.....in 30 minutes.
http://rapidshare.com/files/74231668/Karmba_a_6.2_.zip.html
this is the first link.
the RUU I tested in Vista, it should work under XP, if it dont, please replace rom into your own RUU.
I just saw Karmba_a finnal released,but i wont do on that anymore, no more spare weekend....

Please try to rename the files in this way: "****01.zip" to "****.zip.01" then most unzip software can automatically locate next files.
And sorry i dont think i'll cook my own rom although i really want to. Canon can produce good camare, but Panasonic can't, cause it need time to upgrate, debug and learn from feedback to make something perfect. This the best chefs in our forum already did. But right now i even dont have time to earn enough money to feed myself and for my tuition fee....For some reasons i'll lead a hard life in next few years. no time, no time.. :-(
I always use my limited spare time to do the most valuable thing. Cook a rom from start and debug for weeks, too huge job for me.

where are you from in china now?

hi my friend,i took university in Harbin City in Heilongjiang Prov, my home is LianYunGang City in JiangSu Prov. where i havn't being back for many years.
i am physically stay in Australia now, get the trinity from "3 Telecom" 4 month ago. i have been doing SmartPhone system for years,newly start working on PPC. i am old member in pdafans.com i guess you know there.
it is interesting to see that no one knows Trinity have GPS function in AUS....
i am uploading the rom to Rapidshare and 4shared.com at the same time, slower than i think. may take me more than 30 minutes.i dont believe you can get a fast speed from there, but you can use download tools( like Thunder,xunlei) to download the rom from 4shared.com(but rapidshare you can't), take it easy.
i have a question for you: seems Trinity have wifi, which is forbiden in China and illegel ,go against Chinese law, then where is your Trinity comes from?

Thanks a lot
Karmba_a
You are the best ​

i like tuner and, harbin is my hometown
PS: i found karmba 6.2 f*** sd card very often. it's not compatible with 4gb mini sdhc at all.
correct me if this is the only case happened on my trinity.

This is the Chinese Support Cab! If you are in China and insist to use English version rom, this is the one you must have.
unzip this 4 files together , you 'll gonna get a cab file,
after install that, the mobile will get no trouble on Chinese software, Chinese website visiting, and Regional setting can be set to People Republic of Chine.
this one is carefully built by me, upgrade many times to get rid of all the bugs that other chinese support solutions use to have.

that is because, Karmba's rom default setting is when you click the "X", it will completely terminate the applications.which some other's rom just minimize the software(faster)
if you have a good habit to clean your memory on time, go to the settings to change it.

Hi,
First, sorry my bad English.
I'm having a problem with the MMS in this ROM.
Almost always when I'll send (or receive) an MMS with audio (recorded), it freezes my P3600.
Any suggestion or patch??

Sorry mate debug is too hard for me cos i dont really have souces of this rom, and modify a "optimized rom" is very difficult. the only way to trace this problem is install other Arcsoft MMS programms and find out which one have this bug fixed. i dont have time to do this sorry. then compare the files from "fixd Cab" and the rom, replace the better files to solve. i can do a upgrate for u if you can try out the "fixed MMS" cab.
i know this is a good rom , thank you very much!
and i believe the account disappare problem is perfectly solved, thanks Karmba_a and ausdim.

hey man
did you update the link also? or you didn't upload the updated ROM?

Amazing you're using it for weeks without issues, I tried it out yesterday, to begin with, A2DP is seriously ****ed up, even with the A2DP Fix, the player itself behaves oddly when an A2DP connection is made, the 'play head' skips back and forth( you can see the time counter go from 0:23 to 0:22 and then 0:23 again), seriously lagged/skipping audio, I was going to make a screencast of it but the device hard-reseted itself after It semi-froze and I power cycled it using the power button(5 secs).
Speedy nevertheless, the dialer is ugly and smart dialing options don't open as with the original Karmba_a.

wow,A2DP, i dont have a A2DP handset. Anyone knows what is the reason happen on that?
i did not change the system of Karmba_a's rom, so most of the bugs should be kept.
and i am sorry for i dont gonna debug the rom unless some one can tell me which file cause what bug, or the bug is too serious. most likely i wont do any upgrate in future, no enough time, i am really tired everyday.
well, i 'll mark the A2DP problem in my post, thank u about this. merry xmas!

Which one to choose?

i'm looking a rom to replace the official wm6 one.
since this i s the first time i'm doing such thing i'd like to recieve some help.
which rom should i choose?
there are many and the list of features is long and hard to compare between each other, any hint on how to choose and what to look for are well accepted.
thank you.

Lyllo,
Hello and welcome. There must be a thousand threads on here askng the same question.
I suggest you do one of several things:
- Search for each thread asking this question and see what responses were given:
- Look through the threads on here for each rom and from the discussion decide which is best for you (recommended option)
- Choose a number of roms at random, flash them, and see what you think.
I would personally sit down and decide what you are looking for in a rom, eg, speed, stability, speed (don't care about stability), stability (don't care about speed), feature rich versus feature lite, etc.
Once you have done this then go to option 2 above and see what fits. Next read mrvax guides THOROUGHLY (see here...http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/) BEFORE you jump in.
Also it is esential that you read the wiki (see here...http://wiki.xda-developers.com/) BEFORE you jump in.
If you want to change roms safely there is no short cut to assimilating knowledge, understanding thoroughly, then implementing.
Good luck and don't forget to backup your data before you start.
WB

can i go on asking some few things here?
1) wondering what's the difference between Black version and other ones.
2) i've noticed that most of the last releases basically give the same pack of cabs, so which are the parameters to distingush between them? they always define them quite stable, so cant find a way to choose
i'd prefer some more stability in order to have a fully and costant working device, but some speed would be nice.
found the schap's one but can't uderstand if it would be worthy to do an upgrade or not.
basically on this forum i've found that is always worthy...
4) what does at&t means? what has it for?
5) what's about the "big storage"?
thank you and hope i've been quite clear pls excuseme for my english ^^
thanks 4 your attention

Ok dude.....heres ur answers (please note mrvanx has about 3 bottles of merlot in him to cloud his judgement)
1) Black set the standard for ROMs, however the base ROM has evolved a fair bit since the last version of WM6 black (WM6 Black X).......Right now i recommend doing some reading about Pandora Naked 6....and customizing it for your own needs ;-)
2) Speed/Stability are relative to what you have installed....see 1)
3) Schaps ROMs are a VERY good place to start, however if you wish to truely taylor your device you should read into cooking your own ROM.
4) AT&T is a US based betwork......ignore it unless you are in the US
5) Big storage means the ROM has some optimisation added to the IMGFS file system so the storage space on the device is freed up for you to use, in some cases you could see a storage capacity of 80MB or maybe more!!?
...............finally.....
...INSTALL HARDSPL BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!!! good luck. ;-)

thank you ver much ^ì

extremely clear for 3 bottles of merlot, Vanx.. I'm very impressed
Lyllo, I'd say, first of all, install HardSPL like Vanx said
Next, I would advise you to try out some ROMs. The Black is very complete, there are some others who are very good. I personally use Schap's 4.22 and I like it alot (eagerly waiting for 4.30, hint hint Schap ) If you follow the proper procedure, flashing usually is a piece of cake and within 15 minutes you're up and running again.
You can only really know which ROM you like by trying them out for a couple of days. I tried Black and I switched to Schap cos I like it better but it's very personal.
Also, I suggest you take a look at your Radio ROM too. This isn't customised but it highly influences the performance of your Hermes, i.e. how long your battery lasts, how quick you get a link to the internet, how well bluetooth performs and so on. Read the threads on the various versions and pick the one that seems best for you and just give it a go for a couple of days.
After a while you will find your ideal combination. And that will be the best for you.

Shamanix 2.2
If you are not in to Internet Sharing, I would recommend you try Shamanix 2.2. No bugs. Its fast and stable.

I would recommend to give one of Edhaas's Roms a try, they are very fast AND stable:

Yeah, thats right.
BUT:
At home I'm using Linux on my desktop system, my previous mobile phone has a Symbian OS. In the last 25 years I was using computers with C64 OS, Amiga OS, MSDos, DR DOS. None of all these operating systems was completely bugfree. Android is based on Linux and much more important: its developed by humans. So again it will have failures
The point is to create a Rom which handles all the given defects in a useful way. And I think some of the Rom devs here did a very good job.

the more static and simple an os is the more stable
the more cutting edge user costimizable and featurefull and advanced an os is the more places bugs and unablity to test all senarios play it's part

thak you guys.
let me just explain deeper that i'm talking about defects, not bugs.
it's quite obvious that human can do some mistake that reflects into bugs, i'm not complaining about that
i was just complainig the way wm6 is designed
anyway, i guess i'll have to wait for android or an iphone surrogate
by now i think i'll at least upgrade the rom from the official to a better in performance one.
there's only one matter, i've just found Schaps' 3.54 one in italian, can you tell me where can i find a list of localized rom in order to choose something newer?
i'd like to scratch as less as possible my ppc, so a full rom, with a sotisfactory set of program would be better.
thank you.

My first question would be are you sure you are using a Hermes/Tytn 1?
You said you were new to all this and asked which ROM you should change to from your stock/official WM6 ROM.
Not many Hermes/Tytn 1's are available with WM6 on them as standard. So just double check you have the phone that is being discussed in this particular sub-forum as if you use the wrong image on the wrong device it can cause big, non-correctable (aka permanent) errors.

At the risk of blowing my own horn, If you are new to this and would like a good start, try my ROM:

This will:
1) Updates your Radio ROM to the latest version - which many people find performs better (although there are apparently some issues with AT&T network - but as you're not in the US, that doesn't matter here).
2) Give you a featureset similar to what the phone manufacturer would have - including Office 2007, a voice command/dialer application, and the latest Windows Live.
3) Gives you the option to uninstall Office 2007, voice command software and Windows live if you don't want them.
4) Will work with pretty much any network due to the inclusion of the HTC network wizard which sets up your mobile for almost every network worldwide - just pick where you are.
5) Gives you about 54Mb of free storage BEFORE you uninstall any addon applications.
This will give you a solid base to starting to flash your device etc too - which is great

thank you guys.
