Hello all,
With all the awesome chef's in the kitchen it is hard to ask this question... but I will.
I would like to know what the most stable WM6 rom is, In your opinion.
I have used Black 2.0... for 2 weeks (seemed flawless)
Then I tried Tried 2.5 then LVSW, and even Custel's ROM but get random freezes, I grab the phone and its froze, missed how many calls?? I can't have this.
Something I might be doing you say, possible but I have even installed no additional apps, and only sync to exchange. I see others having some various issues with differnet roms. So this prompted me to ask the question I have.
So whats the most stable ROM?
i use black 2.5 with his new memory.cab and works great no problems. what programs are you using b/c it may be related to them. maybe use sktools to delete some unneccesary programs from starting on boot and go from there.
Black 1.2 with a weeks+ of working it to perfection. No need to flash anything else for me until WM7 comes out. lol
Coming back to a froze device sounds like you have the sd card lockups, and not rom related, but if you dont have a card installed, dismiss my post.
I was using Black 2.5, I have a lot of freezes in particular when I activeSync and I do activeSync A LOT, (freeze about every 3rd time I activeSync). A few miss call, and call which I have no audio.
I switch to LVSW 4/23 (FULL version), currently with the same applications installed on Black 2.5, my phone seems to be running well, no freezes yet for half a day already. (ActiveSync more than 10 times already)
I am not saying there is any problem with Black 2.5 rom. A lot of people are very happy with Black 2.5. What I am simply saying is that with the set of applications that I need (a few of them are beta apps), LVSW seems more compatibility than Black.
P.S. Using PhoneAlarm, PocketInformat, CEStar, ISilo, Cyberon Voic Speed Dial, and SplashID
I've had no freezing issues, only app I install is im+
I am running Black 2.5 and I too am having similar ActiveSync problems. And it freezes every third time as well. Strange....

Previously I was using Black 2.0 and never had one freeze. But since I upgraded to 2.5 I get random freezes like couple times a day, I suspect this could be due to the new OS build? Once I have time I would probably reflash it back to 2.0 cuz it's rock stable for me.
Black 2.5 is working sweet as for me.
Couple of freezes with LVSW and XDA Live, but nothing major, i had freezes with the OEM rom, its just what phones and computers seem to do these days!!
I;ll stay Black, but at the end of the day, use the rom, which you think you will get the best community support, has the best community friendliness and if you ever do have troubles, you shouldnt be troubles trying to fix them!
keep in mind that these ROMs are essentially beta (even if based upon the "final" WM6). they do not undergo the rigorous testing that a carrier would provide.
if you are unwilling to deal with this (and RTFW for answers), then you might be better sticking with the factory shipping WM5 roms...
I like Custel's rom, support is there, and rom is quick n smooth
LVSW 4/23
The full version of LVSW 4/23 is the most stable so far for me. This is the first of the WM6 ROMS I can open and run Netfront, Newsbreak, Pocket IE, Messaging, Camera, Resco Explorer, get a phone call at the same time and still have no freezing. I did a little tweaking to it, but out of the gate it is just fine. All I really needed to install in the Keyboard fix and the Cingular settings.
noop, the reason you freeze alot or crashes alot is becoz of CE-Star..all i know is LVSW does not have the problem, but all other rom does...
Don't use the one from WM5, i remember there is a lite version on this fourm (topic x01ht showing chinese or sth)
Why i know, coz i just install ce-star on black, it will never work..it will crash almost anything...The guy who made the lite has a re-edit version of Ce-star for crossbow, that you have to try your own..since all i need is viewing~
They are all good!

We are all one big happy community here at XDA Developers!
For me with the earlier round of ROMS LVSW 4/23 worked the best. Zero problems. Haven't finished trying out the latest batch yet so I can't say. The bottom line is that with these ROMS you really do have to try them all and make your decision on which one best meets your needs when coupled with the software that you use.
All of these cooks are turning out some nice ROMs, the problems are more frequently caused by programs that are not yet certified for WM6 and the cooks, of course, have no control over this.
I would also suggest not to use any program to clean your OS, e.g. memory maid as it seems become unstable for all rom after cleaning the system with this kind of software.
Hi all,
Thanks for all your responses. I agree support from this forum family is awesome. I also agree with trying several roms to find the one that best fits my needs (but I don't yet know what they are, I just moved from a treo 650, and prior was a treo 600)
I am on LVSW now, I will try it for a bit and see how it goes. I do like Custels as well... Hmmm decisions, decisions. lol
Well thanks again for your responses and thant you Chefs for all your diligent work. You're the Kings in my book.
Comparison Page???
Would it be posible for the creators of the roms to tell us ALL of the bells and whistles that each of them has on it, and someone could compile a chart or page to compare them all? Obviously, the Voice Dial function is important to me, and I dig the Space Invaders, but there is so much more. I would be glad to do it if I could get the info on each with which to begin. As for Stability; is there a way to do a survey that would allow us to rate them according to the opinion of the users here regarding speed of boot/reset and stability and whatever anyone else can think of?
I recently moved to the Dutty Premier Windows Mobile 6 - Full Edition - Version 1 and So far I am very happy with it. And it appears to have all the tools and toys I want and need . . . so far.
Thanks,
If one doesn't already exist, someone please set up a wiki page for comparisons and we'll sticky it.

Custel Cingular 1.2
The only WM6 ROM I have upgraded to is Custel's Cingular 1.2. It was a problem free upgrade and I have not experienced a single freeze and the only soft resets I have done were those required to install other applications. Unless someone, including HTC or Cingular, comes out with a version that adds features that I can't live without (and are not added to these cooked ROM's on this forum as CABs), I will be happy to stay with my current version.
Pls don't blast me for posting this. I have read the black 2.5 thread and could not find a working solution for BB. The chef have mention that someone is cooking to make it work as its a "ball breaker" to edit it. he he i remember this is the master chef for black 2.5 words.
My question is whether anybody have got it to work.
not yet,
working progress........ on HEX editing the OS.nb that is.
walshieau is also looking at another way to hack the bbconnect executables for them to work on wm6 without HEX editing the OS.nb
only time will tell.

Thanks everyone for their work on this!

An alternative to the BB Connect could be the new BB Application suite
http://www.rim.com/news/press/2007/pr-23_04_2007-01.shtml
Apperently full BB functionality on WM6
Don't know when or how it will be released. Hopefully it will be available as a standalone package but even if it is packaged with operator's roms I expect it won't be long before it is extracted and packaged as a standalone app.

Have you tried v4.0 of BB Connect for PPC?
I just installed it on my 838 Pro running Black 2.5 and it installs and seems to connect however I dont have a Blackberry sim card and i'm not sure if i have a license available for me on the BES server at my work (but i prefer Exchange push email anyway)
I posted about BB Connect 4.0 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304973
As was downloaded from the Dopod Website it could also be locked to Dopod devices but not sure.
EDIT: I just installed the ActiveSync BBConnect Desktop Software on Vista and it was able to tell my my account on the BES server isnt configured so looks like its working OK on my Black 2.5 device and Vista Laptop.
well this fantastic news if bbconnect works based on the new version.
now i can put my focus on black 3.0 as well the customization app entitled "PIMP MY BLACK" that will be part of Black 3.0

JJ,
I can confirm that BBC v4.0 does work on Black 2.0, but it does not work on 2.5. I flashed Black 2.5 and had no success, but am currently running BBC v4.0 with Black 2.0, with no problems. Might I add that BBC v4.0 allows syncing Contacts, Calendar, Task and Notes with BES and you can now view picture attachments
BB Connect 4 on Black 2.5
Trying BBC 4.0 on Black 2.5.
However no luck connecting.
However I know sometimes you need help from IT with renewed activation.
So more tomorrow and fingers crossed.

p.s. Installation allways work. Also with the older clients. Getting connected to RIM is often the issue.
BBC 4.0 working on Black 2.0
I got bbc 4.0 working on black 2.0. Seems to zip through 3G downloads. I like the bbc 4.0 ui but it enforces our IT policy regarding passwords which is awkward on hermes.

I agree, having the IT Policy automatic lock and password is very awkward and makes the 8525 very difficult to use. This was an unwelcome added feature.
Jasjamming, are you still planning on trying to fix blackberry with 2.5, or are you waiting for version 3.0.
Keep up the good work!
Was wondering is this release in relation to the application suite that RIM have indicated as i see a folder with BB Browser and BB IE browser which uses the data connection from BB toconnect to internet.
The password locking thing is neat but cumbersome. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the contacts over. I'm still using WM 5 as Black 2.5 as posted by other user doesnt seem to work.
Now trying to do the installation from a hard reset PPC and see how it goes.
I don't like the password thing at all....Looks like I may have to go back to previous bbconnect to get around it. Don't want to be typing the password everytime I want to check email....it was the reason to switch to 8525 and bbconnect from my blackberry in the first place.

Sorry.. Black 2.5 doesn't work. On black 2.0 it runs well.
JJ I would say focus on 3.0 for now and when its released focused on getting 3.0 to work with BB. Since its so close I think most of the BBC users can wait a bit longer on Black 2.0 and then move to Black 3.
Just my 2 cents,
Arnie
So besides the ability for our coporate Lotus Notes / BES admins to enforce policies, make me enter password every hour, shut my PPC down , enterprise activation, syncing contacts, tasks and notes and to view picture attachments what would be another appealing reason for me to upgrade from BBC 2.X ?
Have anyone tested BBC 4.0 on LVSW 0429 ROM yet ?
TIA

It did not work for me on the LVSW 0429 ROM, installed found server for about 5 secs said connected then dropped out.
Guys,
Been testing the various roms available for some time now, XDALive, Black, Schaps etc but just can't find a single Rom that allows the phone to function as its supposed to, i.e. Fast, efficient and usable.
XDA Live and Black appeared to be great at first, until I installed TomTom and a few other minor apps, at which point they just slowed until the phone took 2/3 seconds to come out of standby, and when ringing the phone, it wouldn't even make a sound until the 2nd/3rd ring!?
Yesterday I flashed to Schaps and its even worse, before installing ANYTHING extra! 3/4 seconds from standby although it is a great looking rom.
Just seems a real shame, is the phone's hardware the limitation or is there a Rom out there that really does make a good job of enabling the best functionality from the Hermes??

Same-same feeling here. Tried all, still can't get the reliability and responsiveness of original WM5 Jasjam ROM. It's not a rant and of course I can always go back, but it makes me wander never the less..
Edit 15:30,
Well after such a statement I guess I owe some specifics:
- Hermes 100 and 200
- SPL-2.10.Olipro
- IPL: 1.04
- Radio: v1.43.00.00
- Tried the various available RTM versions, much too slow responding, haven't resolved the SOD problem for me
- reverted to what I consider to be the most stable and comfortable release - LVSW 19/5 (elf edition), still experience SOD but apprx. once in 24 Hrs. Still makes the WM6 Hermes unreliable as a phone, since for those unfamiliar with SOD, it means that while actually frozen, the phone looks externaly to be OK and working, respective LEDs blinking. Tried all solutions known and yet some.. drafted to this some heavy dev colleagues but still there.
Frustrating isn't it, perhaps the Hermes just isn't ready for WM6, would be logical as they haven't launched the Hermes OEM with WM6 yet have they?
Cheers, Ash

Sleuth255, you are counted with the serious in my book, so I should definitely do so. At the moment I kind of stabilized my devices (less than a SOD in every 24 Hrs. time frame), and I am pretty dependant on my phone.. but... at same time I've a XDA-dev soul, so I don't count on myself to withstand the temptation to try yours...
However Ash's quest remains. WTF happens with WM6 on the Hermes. No disrespect to those praising it, but if it doesn't work here, it most probably doesn't work elsewhere if you push it to same limits I do.. And where is HTC's RTM. I would expect it's core to be reasonably well, then use it in the kitchen for "our flavours", but apparently RTM is not there yet, or is it RTM ?

In any case Ash's quest remains. WTF happens with WM6 on the Hermes. No disrespect to those praising it, but if it doesn't work here, it most probably doesn't work elsewhere. At least if you push the envelope to same limits I do.. And where is HTC's RTM. I would expect it's core to first be reasonably solid, then use it in the kitchen for cooking our flavours, but apparently RTM is not there yet, or is it RTM at all, and if it is how come it ain't published on HTC support site yet ?
Questions..questions... but it's fun, isn't it ?
HTC's core CE/XIP for hermes was RTM as of v5.2.1238 and is quite stable IMO. It's the IMGFS that's buggy.
Hermes has always had issues coming out of standby and this delay is what affects the time the call connects to the time you hear the first ring. I noticed this the very first time I tried my TyTN (coming from a Wizard).
I've always wanted to uncover the specific code that handles this because there's also a nagging bit that forces portrait mode as a workaround for the magnets in the case Because of this, I have to disable standby whenever I'm using my stowaway bt keyboard.
edit: SOD could be solved as well by dis-assembling this code...
Sleuth, I agree with you (again). And you are also very right on RTM (I happen to be somehow..remotely... connected to them people in Redmond, but I shouldn't exploit this subject too much here.....
Anyway it's pi__ing me off quite a lot and the "Israeli Team" has given SOD a good chunk of time to no result. What amazes me is that this is one Huge issue that doesn't ring an alarm at HTC's.. BTW assuming that under the hood Hermes 100 and Hermes 200 are one and the same (so says my favorite CTO), I can't understand how would my JasJam (original WM5 ROM) be bullet proof in respect to SOD, while my TyTn showed SOD and call delay on WM5 as well. Maybe all Hermesses weren't born equal (and I refer to the latest crop, post childhood issues).
I happened to work with HTC and I know them to take stuff like this seriously. What happens here ....
So can we conclude that the Hermes wasn't ever *supposed* to run WM6, hence why all the WM6 roms just simply don't really work very well once you install just a couple of apps? Some without even installing supplemental programs?
I can't conclude that. WM6 works wonderfully on my hermes. I can conclude at this point that the device has some powersave related ideosyncracies that may or may not be software related. This is why I'm interested in your XP with my ROM.

I agree with Sleuth, WM6 works so much better on my TyTn than WM5... In every way.
Ok, the (slight) wakeup delay at phonecalls is there but certainly no more than with WM5. And Sleuth's new ROM is very stabile, pretty fast and with very little memory leaks.
At least it is in my case...
Ive been using WM6 releases for hermes since they first surfaced
my favourites are
Schap's WM6 Pro 3.30c
LVSW (latest June release)
Windows Mobile VI Pro - Black 2.5
I don't use Device for gaming at all
I use It strictly for work, this means:
Organizing my day with SBSH PocketBreeze
Chatting with Live messenger
see the weather news with weatherPanel (Schap's ROM replaced my choice of weatherpanel)
I work with/edit simple word documents on the road and e-mail them
Take many photos and record videos
and also watch big videos 22~50megs in both .wmv and .3gp format
Surely some ROM's were a real pain and unstable
with the above mentioned ROM's
My device Is stable and fast
Reading around thoughts and opinions surely will help many new to the PDA scene and surely will reward them with knowledge and make their WM experience more fun and useful rather than adventurous and experimenting
Definetely my TyTN is more useful fast and stable now with WM6
rather than when It was fueled with WM5
Just my 2 cents

Same here, I'm very pleased with WM6 (currently vp3G). I've installed some apps and its faster and more stable than before. I have no freezes, no sleeps of dead, no lock ups - with none of the Roms.
Programs in use:
Always running:
.) ILauncher
.) PhotoContactsPro
.) BatteryStatus
Installed:
.) Mobipocket Reader
.) SK Tools
.) Vijay's Brighter Screen
.) enAlarm
.) GS Finder
.) Total Commander
.) PocketIrked
My first WM6 ROM was the XDA Live.. then I started playing with the free storage.. created modified XDA Live ROM ( later called "WM6 Brick" because it wouldn't boot for ppl without MFG BL).. anyway.. a week later I bricked my Hermes completely trying to get it working with all BLs.. Then I was out for 2 months.. as my Hermes was being repaired..
When it came back I started flashing it with different WM6 roms.. (I guess I liked it much more when there had been only one wm6 rom available). They've all looked nice.. but none of them have been stable. I don't care so much about the speed.. but I hate when it freezes while I am scrolling the file list in the built-in Explorer.. and this happens with all WM6 roms I've tested.
I guess that at some point it will be stable enough for me to use it.. but as I don't need html-emails.. or sd-card encryption I guess I'll stick to WM5 for a while :/
I've tried:
Custel 2.5
ALL of the Blacks
Elf's 2.1
LVSW
Faria
I am with Custel 2.5 right now and I love it. No sleeps of death here.
I'm running:
SPB Pocket Plus

SPB Phone Profile

Today Agenda
MobiReader
Google Maps (Latest Build)
MortgageCALC
After being "awake" for 12 hours, I still have 23.4 MB of memory avail. with normal usage.
I don't do any media on my phone; I don't even have the media net settings loaded to my connections. I use it strictly for business: direct push mail, text message between the contractors, phone calls, scheduling and looking up houses, google search quite a bit and the PIM software.

Office 2007

I have tried both the Elf V2.1 and the BlackShadow and both have worked very well for me so far. I have so far only added the following external apps:
1. Ateksoft Webcamera Plus
2. Adobe Flash Lite 2.1
3. Adobe Reader LE 2
I definitely love my phone now even more so than when I first bought it when it came with WM5.
ROM, Radios, Carriers, Phones each has its own benefits, if you put some together they dnt work, you can change one thing it could work.
i can honestly say that i have only had problems with the early blacks, shadow works fine for me, wheras others worship black 2.5.
personally i always use sleuths roms they definately the fastest & most stable (for me anyway!!)
One last tip
Unless you are in the UK dont use radio 1.43 it is designed for the UK and not too good elsewhere

Ask Schap nicely to hex edit his Rom so it works with BB Connect.......otherwise use Slueth's Rom which already works with BB Connect.
I've been quite happy using Slueth's Rom and have no complaints!

vp3G and Sleuth both have BBC version. I can post links for Schap and Black Satin tonight. But if you are comfortable with entry level hacking - it is a trivial job to make any ROM based on latest official ATT or Dopod releases to be compatible with BBC on Hermes. There was a lot of discussions and questions answered here on this subject last few days if you'll desire to know more and "Howto". Regards

Problem I have is that when I invoke flight mode and then switch radio back on, my blackberry app is off line and I cannot get it to reconnect without first disablling it, then doing a soft reset, then relaunching blackberry. It then repairs the settings and goes on to connect and its back up and running All a bit of a pain! I tried the 4.x.x. client, but it has the security feature set on the server such that after 10 mins inactive, it locks the screen and needs a password to unlock the device.
Are you having similar problems with the sleth ROM? If not, could you post the rest of your ROM/RADIO/BB Client config? If you are using the 4.x.x BB client, have you found a way of disabling the device lock?
Many thanks
Chris

Custel ... that's I'd say 2-3 major updates step back. I haven't tested Custel's ROMs, but correct me if I'm wrong it is a LVSW or Black 3.01 derivative. Neither one had any issues with BBC re-connecting. As a matter of fact, from my personal experience, BBC will make *any* connection drop in a blink of an eye and will happily monopolize your data connection, making it almost impossible to have automated POP, RSS or Podcasts collections. I'd say your first step should be backup, hard reset and restore if you are keen to the existing ROM. Then I'd say you want to update to the latest distro and radio. Hope this helps.

Hi Moisha
Many thanks for this, very helpful. I'm not wedded to the ROM by any means, so would happily change to a combo that kept a reliable connection. By 'the latest distro', do you mean one of the WM6 ROMs or release of the BB client? I see you are using the 1.48 radio.. What would be your recco for a BB compatible ROM and radio. Not sure I want to get into hex editing at the moment, so would like to use one one the 'off the (xdadevelopers) shelf' ROMs if poss...?
Thanks much in advance
Regards
Chris
Hi guys,
Not sure if this should in the forum or the Themes & Apps one but I'll begin here. Is anyone else using Seven to reveive push mail? I've had to stop using it and revert to pull IMAP with my Yahoo mail because the Seven client has stopped working.
It worked fine on Dutty's Leo R2 but then stopped on R3. As R3 was so buggy I thought that might be it but it still wouldn't work on the otherwise excellent R4.
This morning I switched to NRG's latest release of the Leo ROM and still no go. Makes me think it might be an issue with the underlying WM build as I can't see how Manilla would affect the installation of apps.
Whenever I try to install the .cab I am informed that an unhandled exception has occured and that the program will now close.
Anyone with any suggestions (other than to switch to GMail and use the the new push - I can't do that as I already have an Exchange account set up)?
Once again, apologies if this is the wrong forum - Fallen Spartan, feel free to move this if necessary.

You are not alone this is bugging me too I have tried almost every leo based rom and I get the same damn issue!! I can't pin point whats causing this bug I have now reverted to standard manila 2.1 rom until Seven release a newer version that addresses this issue!
What I don't understand was that it worked with both Dutty's Leo test and R2. It only stopped working when I updated to R3 and R4 and not NRG's ROM.
I've posted over on the SEVEN Community as well but so far no luck.
--edit--
Link to other forum here.
Update for you I've just flashed between dutty's leo R5 rom and miri's leo v9.1 again damn thing doesn't work shame I really like these two rom's IMHO the best leo based rom's currently! I think it worked on miri's v7.1 rom!
Are you saying it works on NRG's Rom? because I did flash his latest version it didn't work???
Sorry, just re-read my last post, it's not very clear is it!
I flashed to NRG this morning to see if it was just problem with Dutty but it doesn't work there eaither. Saw R5 a couple of hours ago but seeing as I only flashed this morning I was going to wait a while to see how buggy R5 was and then take the plunge to see if SEVEN would work.
Thanks for informing me that it doesn't! I might stick with NRG for a while but the battery drain is massive compared to a Dutty ROM. No doubt I'll be on R5 by the weekend!
SEVEN did work on the last Miri ROM I was on (REV 7.0). First ROM I had problems with was Dutty's R3.
Has anyone tried it out on R14 of his non-Leo 6.5 ROMs?
Love Dutty's ROMs but really need to use SEVEN! Might just have to flash back to R2.....but all the goodies from a more complete Leo ROM....oh decisions, decisions!

Did you get any answer or did you resolve this issue
I don't use seven!!!! give it a try to emoze, it's free and it works on latest rom! i have got push mail sync with my hotmail account.
Hi
Same problem here using Laurentius26 WM6.5 V2 WWE rom.
Its a shame cuz i really like this rom its fast and stable.
Jay
Same here on Dutty R4/5.
luckily Gmail has started pushing so I no longer need seven.
Try Google mail its working very good, \you can sync contacts, calendar and emails and its for FREE
Hello
Any updates and or solutions?
Jay
It looks like folks at Seven haven't even been able to replicate the problem since none of them seem to have Manila 2.5 which is causing the problems... So I guess it'll take a while for the problem to get solved.
It would be so good if people didn't jump in here with those "use emoze instead" or "gmail has push" advices. Emoze isn't really free (i.e. the free version is utterly crippled), they have the crappiest of sites (I can't even figure whether they support IMAP or not), and Gmail push is useless if you already use Exchange at work. More importantly, this thread is about Seven, not just any type of push mail.
Hello
Well with the release of WM 6.5 lets hope a solution will be provided.
Unless Seven works with the latest builds?
I tried up to duttys R5 and it dosn't work
Jay
I have had the same problem as my work uses Sevens solution.
In my quest for Rom with Manila 2.5 where it works i found: XannyTechROM GRID LEO 1.6 M2.5 (WM 21867.5.0.81) This works fine for me.
Im just wondering wether its the WM build 21867 or its the Manila version (2.5 1919xxx i think but i'm not sure)
Allthough good news, i'm still hoping to find it working on other Roms as i'm no too fond of that particular Rom.
So any input of other Roms where Seven is working are more than welcome.

On the other hand in this

So it would seem the problem is the later os versions since duttys R5 is the same Manila but a later os version (23016) and it dosnt work on that Rom.
On the other hand in this post someone claims it worked for him on a 23016 based rom...
Jay
Hello
I see a new Rom with a later version of manila (1920) has anyone tried seven on that rom yet?
Jay
This issue seems to be related with the new leo sms client. Asked you you cooked to try newer leo sms client (e.g. version 1.43, 1.41, 1.28).
Seven working on ROM: MaryOne X0.03☻Build 23502 COM5☻Leo 1.41
Hi,
I installed the newest MaryOne X0.03, Build 23502 with Leo 1.41 last week and yesterday I took the plunge and installed Seven (downloaded the latest Consumer edition from the Seven Beta program).
No installation problems and it is working just fine
I am receiving my e-mails from Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo.
I did install it to the Main Memory and it is one of the first programs I installed, after testing the MaryOne X0.03 rom to see if was stable enough for daily use.
Hi
thanks for the info.
I flashed that ROM and it works perfect indeed.
i just flashed duttys holy grail and seven works on this too.
