Hi Everyone,
To give xda lovers an idea on the performance characteristics of the most popular 3 WM6 releases, i have just spent the last few hours doing a benchmark using SPB.
The test set up was:
1. OS Flash only
2. No additional Apps after fresh Hard Reset (except SPB Benchmark)
3. Imate Jasjam HT647
4. Main test completed only (no storage card or battery life)
The results speak for themselves (the highest achieving score is marked in red)
EDIT: I forgot the Vanilla ROM. Will update tomorrow, time for sleep, its 5am GMT+10. and only 5 hours sleep in the last 2.75 days.
Thanks,
I know everyone was looking for something like this. Now I know I choose the right OS flavor
Excellent work!!! the dark side wins! wow... maybe I should try it after all
I have a request for all rom cooker and publisher:
PLEASE, once relased a rom, write in the FIRST post:
All possible information about used memory at HR (RAM & Programs).
All reg tweaks included
All external programs installed
Other tweaks like video drivers etc.
All new issues resolved (like VoIP & others)
Someone has done it, someone not. Please post yours cooked rom in this way, so we all can do the right choice, in base at our necessity.
regards
Every time I think I have seen just how resourceful this group is someone comes out of the woodwork and does the yet another thing to surprise me.
(That and a friendly act of one-up-manship )
Many thanks i've been wondering if there was much difference in the speed of the ROMs, now i know. Does any one know how the WM6 ROMs compare to WM5 ROMs speeds?
Yeah - the results do speak for themselves. In my humble opinion, they demonstrate that there is almost nothing to choose between the ROMs in this test because the differences are really tiny. I wonder if you'd even get the same results if you ran the tests a second time?
Thanks for running the tests - interesting stuff!

Sanity! A valuable exercise, but no meaningful difference. Is there en equivalent table for some WM5 ROMS? I keep hearing that WM6 is quicker.
The tables we saw for the different WM5 roms (especially comparing the stock TyTN rom with the south africa and AKU3.3 test roms) were VERY helpfull and the differences were quite noticeable (stability-wise aswell as speed), the WM6 comparisons are all pretty much the same, did the Vanilla rom get a mention at all??
Once we see a full Hermes WM6 rom (from iMate, HTC, Dopod et all) cooked for LVSW,Black or WMXL i predict we may see a noticeable difference from these current ones.
Good thread
What's really frackin kewl about this whole thing is
1. All the roms kick arse.
2. We have a WM6 ROM
3. Have multiple WM6 roms to choose from
4. Start @ 1. and repeat
Don't you just want to laugh! XDA LIVES and it is livin in WM6!
now i personally havent tried any of the wm6, as me and a few others are currently cooking a rom with PTT, i cant go without this feature so i am being patient... I have loaded a few up on my test phone, but havent fully given them a test drive yet... so im not putting anyone or any rom down with this comment, but its something you must realize... fastest doesnt necessarily mean its the most stable. and even if you find one that is stable with your apps doesnt mean its going to be stable for the next guy, its all trial and error
LSVW seems to be the one that runs the most stable without issue and pretty speedy
WM Black runs the fastest, but most unstable for me. Maybe it just the applications I installed having issues. I will works on it again tonight. (After 5 flash......)
WMXL 2.0 has really good features and runs pretty stable too, but somehow it runs slower than other two. A very good custom ROM.
Again, I am not a preofessional give a fair overview. This is just my experience with all 3.

i completely agree with you...i tried all three and lsvw seems to be the most stable
Same OS, the test results didn't show any significant different..........just a little bit.
It will be better and perfect test ,if u compare with WM5.

Hi guys,
the benchmarks I did last night for the 3 roms were done after a clean HR with no additional hacks patches, hence, as they were release by the chef's.
There isnt a significant difference in speed between the three but you will notice that WMXL has around 20mb of free RAM on a fresh HR as it loads more UI data etc in RAM to provide a faster response (this was checked with SKTOOLS).
It will be interesting to see how these roms compare against an official WM6 hermes ROM if one will ever be released.
Nonetheless, as these roms are cooked, expect to find bugs or undisclosed features. If bugs are found, the chefs will try and resolve them etc. Also remember that even though our HERMES are essentially the same, some ROMS wonts work on som devices, so you might have to see what works for you. luckily my JASJAM is compatible with all the roms posted so far so it is pretty universal.
Enjoy the contributions guys and if you can, please donate the xda-developers for the help it has iven you.
I agree that LSVW ROM is the most stable among 3 WM6 ROMs

i will do this soon, give ma an hour....or so.....
mtty is getting a work out.
I will flash SA1.35 and an AKU3.3 ROM.
and then post the results in the first post.
Ping Jasjammin, did you do the WM6 v WM% benchmark? Be good to see how they compare on a fresh comparable install
So I visited the forum tonight for the first time in a month (feels like 3! ) and I find many new ROMs floating around. Interestingly there is a lot more use of touchflo and the cube - obviously some of the wrinkles have been ironed out since last time
Basically, I wanna try some new ROMs, and there are a couple that have caught my eye (Faster Again, K's Rom), but I would also like to hear if there are others that I should, in your opinion, not overlook. Positive/negative aspects would be appreciated as well.
I have tried the K's ROM V1.21. Very fast. Together with the TouchFLO and TouchCube from eFrost + Kona, it is the best for me so far.
i agree K's rom, is very fast and stable
K's also
Completly agre.
K's is the faster and most stable I ever flash to my hermes.
TNT rom is the best one for me.
I'm using Shamanix's Grass v2, and it's the best I've found (althought all this is personal opinion!) for speed vs functionality
The best advice would be to look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320370
I am 100% (well 99% as Internet Sharing fix is still under development ) happy with Shamanix 2.2 - stable & very fast. Altough I didn't tried new K's rom...
TNT or K's
I am using Pays 1.23 (Faster Again), and love the speed and 78 mb of storage.
I am using Pays Rom its very stable and FAST!
I vote Pay's as well. Tried a couple and this one seems to be most stable and quick without the bloat.
Wow thanks for all the quick responses guys! Looks like i've got 4 solid ones to try out.
I dont know about anyone else but i have taken a liking to Shaps 4.22
mmm i'll stick with TNT SE
It would prove a lot more useful if when you recommend a rom you state WHICH ONES YOU HAVE TRIED! Don't worry about hurting the cooks feelings!
I have tried Schaps 4.22 and now I am using K's 1.30. The first thing to impress me was that selecting new sms was pretty instantaneous where as with all the other Roms I've used to date I had to watch the busy symbol for a couple seconds.

Welcome Back! TNT Special Edition or K's Full! Have fun flashing!
i've tried K's all of Shaps' and vp3g's, the Pandora Naked 6.....i feel like i've tried them all but I always find myself coming back to Shamanix's Grass 1.3. It's fast, light and stable. For me anyway it has the right combination of space and functionality. The Naked ROM was, well, a little too naked and some of the others came w/ a bit too much. 64MB of storage and over 31MB of program memory on a cold boot w/ the apps included in Grass v1.3 not to mention the speed and stability i've found make it my choice.
happy flashing!
Started off with K's and will try a few days, so far so good. A fully functional Touchflo is soooo nice

Did you find that the touchflo/touchcube thing slowed down your phone? I want to try it out but i'm really enjoying how fast my phone is running with just k's and I don't want to bog it down. Thanks.
so ks is the best? ^^ ,
working touchflo?
btw.. full or lite?
Well i am using the middle east rom 1.37.405.1 and have used all the other roms and until now i think this rom is the fastest and the best i giv e it a 9/10, maybe i am wrong so, what are your recommendation guys and which rom do you think is the best. Please type your rom edition and say what in it makes you like it. this will be great for noobs such as me to decide on a rom. thank you

Signature says it all. The best of both worlds TLR + Middle East combined
i
I'm running phoenix energy 3.0
and while it is sleek, functional, and loaded I find it sluggish and cumbersome when using td3d2 manila. I am searching for a 6.5 rom doesn't suck up RAM like a black hole. 8 daily resets.
Ok, so help me out and all the other people who are in the same situation as i am.
There are so many different roms that i dont know which one is the one to use.
All i (we?) want is one that is fast, very fast
With some extra memory available.
And is stable.
At the moment i see some official roms
the Elite 2.0
Surface
TLR Diamond ROM 2
(and more?)
What is the one to go with?????
Share your opinion if you tryd 2 or more of them.
And what should we be looking for when picking one.
Thank you in advanced!
The Bepe beta rom is the fastest rom I have ever seen on Diamond.
You should give it a try
i am using the latest official dutch one from htc. it is really fast, you can even increase the speed a little more with the tweaks. and offcourse it is in dutch
Each of the ROMs is built upon a philosophy, and the best way to figure out which one is best for you is trying them. Personally, I've chosen for the TLR2 Rom, because I like that it keeps things as if they were stock, and the autoupdater in it is a gold idea.

Here number two.
Absolutedly advicable.
Phone is well, what I expect from it now. 100% usable
TLR was ok, but version two was not a succes. Bit sluggish now and then, hangs a bit, got screwed up
(I installed .Net on dutch rom afterwards, version 3.5. Its even better then!)
Hiya,
Before I get flamed for this I want to make it clear I've tested every custom-brewed rom on xda-dev and have created (and failed) my own rom.
My sole purpose is to have a rom that is all performance based with little to no eye-candy.
Kavana, lovebaby, etc really didn't work for me. I've been using the latest EnergyROM and I like it so far (except for random crashes after sending text messages).
Because of my ignorance, I want to know if there is a rom out there specialized solely for performance that may not be on xda-dev.
Thanks
There isn't any in my opinion cause I have tried all the roms and they always seem to get unstable after continous usage or after a few weeks.
But the original HTC Rom worked great but didn't look so good...
I'm surprised you say Kavana's ROM didn't work for you. I have tried ROM after ROM and I keep going back to Kavana's. For me, It seems to be the best balance of speed (after you bump it up a bit with OMAPClock,) stability, battery life, and flexibility.
Using kavanna ricky remade and all is working great!
I have not made a soft reset in more than 2 months!
But always a new ROM is something attractive

+2 on this one, I've used kavana's rom for over a year with no issues at all...I moved to a cooked 6.5 rom (3vo) 6 months ago..so there are very good roms out there.

I too am using Kavana's remade ROM at the moment. Its the best I have used so far.
Well indeed I've used Kavanas (and actually have re-installed it on my phone about a week ago to give it another go) but I've noticed most of these ROMs fall in line not far from each other.
I'm actually using a 2200mAh extended battery and the battery isn't consumed as much on Kavana's and EnergyROM. I am certain a ROM can created that can far exceed our current ones.
I have down-clocked my CPU but I don't think that should be an option. Thanks to all the guys who have actually put in the time to creating ROMs for the community and I mean do disrespect to you or the work that you have produced. Hey, we're humans and greedy for more
