I know there are a lot of people trying to figure out what the differences are between each rom and I def do not.
WM XDA Live (WMXL) v0.20x (Poll 1)
----------------------------
WM LVSW Edition (26-3-07) (Poll 2)
---------------------------
WM VI Black Edition v1.2 (Poll 3)
-----------------------
This is what I am using b/c it diff looks cooler with the nice BLACK interface hence the black edition!
Lvsw Rocks
LVSW is the bet rom
it has no third party apps and is very clean
no issuse what so ever
only prob is the call volume drops for a sec or two
KEEP UP THE Good Work
I'm actually only using LVSW Edition (25-3-07) with the commgrfix installed separately, i didn't see the point in flashing the whole OS again just for that
exactly like here, but for new users - there is one more problem resolved in complete RUU without necessity to find the solution for commgr problem

So basically I am seeing that people perfer the LVSW --- I mean as far as features/pre-loaded software/calls.
Are they all the same? Does one ROM offer better calling features/quality over the other?
So far it is LVSW yes, but Black version 1.3 is out soon, and a number of us are beta testing WMXL v0.3 which is scheduled for next sunday (1st april).

I'm comparing LVSW latest (3-26) release with XDA Live .3 beta (two different Hermes -- see below). I don't see much difference in their operation although they each offer different utilities, etc., and I've had a number of my apps "struggle" on LVSW after installing/running smoothily on XDA. It really does come down to how you personalize the OS and whether one cooked version is better than another with the apps you use.
Cingular 8525 -- XDA Live WM6 v0.3 beta - CE OS 5.1.195(Build 17217.2.3.0) Radio 1.38
HTC TyTN -- LVSW WM6 v3-26-07 - CE OS 5.2.968 (Build 17736.0.2.0) Radio 1.38

I like LVSW, i've only tried one built (25/03/07), but the two in your sig have an obvious difference and thats the OS build number.
I understand Black 1.3 has an even newer aku (0.2.1 vs. LVSW's 0.2.0)

Schaps ftw.
Schap's WM6 Pro 3.54c ROM
Perhaps adding "Custom made ROM"?
Lots of people are running 'self-made" ROMs made by a ROM-kitchen (Pandora, Core) nowadays.

Dutty's WM6 Premium V2 ROM since April 2007 till now
re-cooking tnt v2 atm.....
sleuth for nearly a month and it totally ro><or.
Sleuth is the man
vp3G's v3.0 right now. I will give a run to version 3.60 when I get the chance.
TMobile test ROM
Well, you did ask for size 6 or 7
Pandora 5.4 build... .with 16mb page pool
It wuold be very nice if someone write a comparison table (pro,cons,features,speed,stability,impressions...) of roms actually availables:
- tom BB 4.1
- meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full
- meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE
- Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2
What do you think about?
TY Guys for your work.
bye
That would be nice; I only tried B&B 4.0 and I am about to upgrade to B&B 4.1.
It would be great to hear from the other people that tried different builds to see what their opinion is.
Add a poll, the results will be more clear.
i tried all Rom :
1)-- Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2 : Fast but not Stable else have many problem
2)-- meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE : Stable,Fast but not Touch Flo Cube
3)-- meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full : Stable , have Support Touch Flo cube but used old Build ( Original Build )
4)-- Tom BB 4.1 : New Build Based .So fast and Stable, Update many new Applications and have TFSetting Tool by Tom.U can change Button Free Active Touch Flo cube ( Love it )
1+2+3+4 ===> I using V4.1 and love it..
Cheers..!
Totally agree with capital, previous post. I'm just after installation of Tom's B&B 4.1, switched from meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full. I'v had before meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE and the first beta of Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2.
I'm impressed with Tom's B&B 4.1. Finally I'v got A LOT of RAM memory, it runs very fast (I'm using wisbar advance and wisbar advance desktop with it), but switched off the cube - not necessary with htc home today plugin, where I'v got all the shortcuts.
Configuration in every ROM is taking me about 2-3h, I'm after this right now and I must say, I found my OS for the next...month or so.
Tom's Black & Blue 4.1, totally amazing. Much, much better than B&B 4.0. That's my opinion. Good work Tom .
Guess I am going with B&B 4.1 Lite (all the goodies and stable) .... the other one I have liked so far was Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE (very stable), Lite version as well.
I can just confirm the above. BB4.1 full at the moment without any problems
Yes, Tom's 4.1 seems working very well. Didn't try meschle's Rom's (but i downloaded them...who knows ?! ).
Fracoons Rom (beta2) was running stable but i installed too much apps so the filexplorer sometimes hang up for approx. 1 minute...perhaps it was my fault. I don't know...
Tom's 4.1 has the most flexible tool to handle Tochflo (enable/disable TouchFlo, Scrolling, Scrolling sound) and changing finger-activation is very easy with this ROM. The only "bug" i found is in BatteryStatus: When you select "Row1" it disappears, but that's not a problem for me and i think it's easily changable with the xml file ?
At the beginning i hated the colored HTC home, but now i like it. IMHO It's better when you're outside to recognitize the differnt buttons. And Memory....it's amazing...when you start the phone there are about 29 mb free (program) and about 40mb free (storage) ! I never had this with other ROMs (anybody else?)
Vote now!
New pool started!
Hi,
I'm verry happy with Tom's B&B V4.1 (only blacklight problem...but it's not important for me)
I tried:
- Fracoon's rom -> not stable, of course, it's a beta!!!
- Meschle's rom with TF(Full) -> Stable, but i had problems with Hbuttons...think because of me (i'm still a newbie...just see when i join this forum)
- aje_fr's rom -> not stable for me (i had some problems with some programs)
As i am a french newbie, sorry for my english and i'm still waiting for an amazing french rom
There are 2 most importants things for me :
First, is that I want to say THANK YOU for all rom's cookers : without them, my artemis device would stay in stony age
Second, it's not so important to compare roms because it depends on our feelings and we are all different!!!
Cheers
PS: thx XDA !!!!!!! apologize me if i've forgotten some one
The Sweetest Thing...
You know what, no matter which ROM gets the popular vote the real winner is freedom of choice.
Having foolishly tied myself to O2 ROMs for too long to be 'safe', I can now pick from any of these excellent ROMs.
In recent weeks I have gone from an O2 Orbit that I couldn't wait to upgrade because it was slow and unreliable to a brand new Artemis that is fast, fun, functional, flexible and funky...I only keep the cube on there to impress my mates...and it sure as hell does that!
bb4.1
Hi i tried bb3.7,4.0 and lite from Meschle's.After using all I have to say Tom's 4.1 is the best
Meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE LITE - all the way.
Tried B&B 4.1 and it was way too buggy for me, too unstable, kept having to softreset.
Had Meschles Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE LITE, and its perfect, fast not as much ram but still great.
I've voted for the 4.1 BUT I must say that in the last few days i had to do a lot of resets I have the feeling that 4.1 isn't faster than 4.0 and when I'm connected to my pc and active sync is working I can't do anything anymore on 4.1 while with 4.0 everything was still working
But one big plus with 4.1 for me is the camera (gps, movie, contacts and dir) is working again.
So for now I stay with 4.1!!!
Hmmm who should i vote for - i cant decide.
Poll will need updating as i release o2 premier plus rom soon
btw thanks for all that have voted for my roms its encourages me to continue cooking.
i love my DUTCH rom
hi all...
i love my own created dutch rom...
i know it has some bug but i am busy with it...
(windows mobile 6 DUTCH on artemis mda tmobile compact 3)
see u
M.
Meschle rocks!
Just casted my vote...
I must say that the rom produced by Meschle is the best one yet on my Artemis. The Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE FULL!
I like it for it's stability, no glitches whatsoever, and all the cool apps already inside it! It makes working with my pda so much fun! I tried Fracoon's rom which was also very good. Tom's rom is a bit faster, but for me it isn't as sweet as Meschle's.
But I also want to say that I recognize the hard work that ALL the wizards put in the creation of their rom's.
How lucky are we - fellow forumers -that we have the luxary of choosing between all these great rom's. Great work you guys, and thank you all!
have only tested 4.0 and 4.1 and like 4.0 way better . great rom
I,ve tested all of them...
anyway they are all great... but the best for me is:
meschle Touch WWE 1.0 lite
Why?
a) absolute stable
b) bugfree
c) perfect service by meschle
d) all in it what i need
e) much free rom
f) fast enough (not the quickest)
g) I can arrange it the way I like... latest Pocket CM and Keyboard....
h) no problems with any other software like batterystatus.
Look and read meschle´s thread and you know what I mean...
A perfect rom for me
Cheers and regards Anja31
I'm not Cube'ist, some of my best friends are cubes!
Meschle [NEW ROM] O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE
Stable, faster than original its based on! and no bugs for me
Also not having the cube but still looking good is a winner for me.
Now Meschle is teasing with talk of a new o2 premier plus so things can only get better
But still much cred to the other chefs
WM 6.5 looks great! but is it faster than 6.1? I'm currently using Schap's WM6.1 and looking forwarding to an OS upgrade if it provides better speed performance. In addition, which ROM will provide a minimum of 20mb program after load. Thank you for the input
ive used the 6.1 roms for a long time decided to change to a 6.5 rom but i had problems with it such as memory shortage and i didnt like a lot of programs on it. i didnt find it any quicker so have changed back to a 6.1 rom which i prefer. as for choosing a good rom your going to have to flash and look through lots of different roms to find one you like or cook one your self.
Have fun
The core of the 6.5 system is faster than of 6.1 - the problem is how many of those various additions are cooked in. If too many, or badly cooked ROM - as a whole it's slower - but if unnecessary things are removed it's a faster system. The RAM is more problematic - it needs more of it, but after removing some elements and reediting others you can get 25 to even 29 MB of free RAM on 6.5
WM6.5 vs 6

As far as i understand Schaps 4.31 is based on WM version 6 not 6.1 so damikey question should be restated. I havent tried 6.5, maybe when becomes official, so cant answer your question, but I have read in this forum that version 6 core is faster than 6.1... WM6.5 vs 6

No! Absolutely not.
WM6.1 is the most fast and responsive ROM right now, while WM5 was the worst one. WM6 was way better than WM5, but it's slower and less stable than 6.1.
Wm6.5? It depends, as I said before... its core is faster than 6.1 - but UI is just bigger and more resources-hungry.

Do you think using that dll in dev and hacking forum we can increase the speed? maybe with that... we could edit all the icons in dlls and Theme to make it faster than the hell... but i cant figured out how to use it... cause we must to sacrifice a little megabytes of storage.
utak3r rigth...didnt know that, thanks. I have read months ago about unstability problems in 6.1 but maybe the threads were just outdated or google trick me into thinking that. I havent tried myself, just know rigth now about WM5 and 6. So I which a lite stripped down version of 6.5 even without Titanium if were possible just with honey like programs menu to make trials and see how it feels in day to day use and not only by benchmark results... something like that exists rigth now or is in development?
Maybe you or +Que PPC or other chef can do it !!!!!????? would be awesome

Still with doubts I did a quick search and the thread wasnt that old. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=496318 some people disagree with the fact that 6.1 is faster. I saw the benchmarks for hermes (dont have the link rigth now) for different cooked ROMs and results were similar between WM6 and 6.1 with the same pagepool.
IMHO maybe as you say the 6.1 CORE could be faster (!?) but some other issues (like only 64mb RAM in Hermes) could make some people FEEL like its slower with their configurations and stick to WM6 or make a jump al the way to 6.5. Its just a thought. damikey only concern is performance and memory in his post, because he have Schaps which is a very stable ROM IMO, but stability, now that you mentioned it, would be another issue (not offtopic). I know you have lot of more experience than me and as I have the same doubt as damikey would be interesting to know about this a little more. I need my tytn as a phone so dont want to flash every week. Thanks again.

I really need a help for obtaining an excellent WM6.5.x ROM + <<sense 2.5>>
I've searched all WM6.5.x ROMs on XDA but i don't know which of them can be better for 'HTC TOUCH DAIMOND'
In fact ,i want "WM6.5.X CLEAN ROM+SENSE 2.5 ,STABLE,FAST AND WITH SETTING ITEM IN START MENU "
IF IT IS OFFICIAL ,IT WILL BE BETTER CERTAINLY
THEREFORE,Please Help Me For Finding best ROM ,tanX
simple, not exist
LOL
Don't waste your time with 6.5 it is always going to be slow
Now I can tell you what a good all rounder rom is an that is the MEMO one.
I would say this as I'm helping with it but IMHO it's a keeper.
MEMO Rom
Yes, i too say that 6.5 is not for Diamond. So why u try that?
With all the options the MEMO ROM is the best one (Try it and feel it)

I'm using the latest energy rom + cookie home tab, and is fast,stable and has good graphics..there is only one problem the free ram is a bit (18-20 mb)
energy rom
Sure, energy roms, especially the latest, are bright, fast, BUT NOT LIGHT due, perhaps in a certain way to the huge amount of apps included. Things that most people does not use. I prefer using wm 6.5.5 rahter than 6.1, but today there is no light rom WITH SENSE (2.1 OR 2.5) AND WM 6.5.5. You can find a good titanium rom wm 6.5.5 (ralpfudsion ralGT1J) with plenty of free ram and stable
Hi,
First you need to understand the limitation of your equipment and specially for the ram. On my side I have tried several rom and I have normally a preference for rom 6.5.x due to my HD2. So I found a good compromised between 6.1 and 6.5.x it is a 6.5 rom (build 21907) back to basic. There is enough ram left and I can customized as I want. The other solution as stated above is to use a titanium version of 6.5.x or 6.5. I also recomand Ormet rom the 8.32 one.
Hope it will help you
I would suggest you to try out the Gen Y WWE ROM. Its a 6.1 with Sense 2.1 ROM. Pretty stable. It has a share of its own issues, but you may wanna try it out yourself. Its got a very good integration of Sense into it with a Start Menu that the Topaz (Diamond 2) shipped with.
The link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521941
Here you go. Try it. Its got some good features. If you are starting out new, I suggest take small steps. Rather than taking a leap into 6.5 or 6.5.x give this one a try.
What's your idea ?
tanX of all for your nice suggestions nonetheless it's better that i use WM6.1 for HTC touch diamond instead of WM6.5.X
I INSTALLED DONSALARI ROM(WM6.5) ,IT WAS NOT BAD... , however it has some features that i want
roughly OK : WM6.5.X+SENSE 2.5

I personally had issues with that rom. Diamond does not truly perform too well with it. Had it for a few days then removed it. For instance my video stuttered horribly with it and my album never even began playing H.264 videos. I could only use WMP.
I personally think you should fall back on a tweaked 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5. Maybe you could search for Manila cab and install it.
try the Don Salari rom dude. i think it's the best official rom n' it's very light (clean basic). good luck!
you might want to try out Benko's 6.5.3 ROMs for Diamond.
Here's the link.
