The best ROM for Artemis to install - opinions

Hi,
Looking for a new ROM to be installed on my XDA Orbit I though that it would be great to inform all of forum users which one is the best in our opinions. We are testing it a lot, finding bugs and choosing the best one.
Please give to all of us your opinion on the following ROMs using grades from 1-5 (5 - the best one):
- Artemis Touch 3.01 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC Full, Lite)
Artemis Touch 3.01 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC Vanila)
- Black & Blue v4.3
- O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC (Full & Lite)

I'm using Meschle's Touch 3.01 Full with Cube.. I'd rate it 4 out of 5

- O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC (Full & Lite)

well, i think Touch 3.01 Full with Cube is the best so far.. with rating 4/5

BEST ROM so far
The Meschle Rom (full) is for me the most stable / fastest / best composition one

Bepe Rom build 0.53

O2 premium 2.0
I am using O2 premium 2.0 - rate 4/5
before I used O2 premium plus 1.0 - rating 5/5 - more stable
I do not know about Toutch 3.1- never tested, but curious..
regards

Same here. 1.0 drained more memory and was a tad slower but it was more stable as it was.
2.0 is pretty stable too but every now and then you have to reset it because some random issue appears. Usually something small but annoying like, internet won't connect or something. Other than that, it's the best ROM yet for me.
Touch 3.0 was not stable enough for me but I really liked it visually.

Meschle o2 premium 2
Best rom to be run on artemis

Vanilla 2.0 (5\5)

Totally agree about Meschle's Touch 3.01 Full with Cube. I'd rate it as 4.5 out of 5.
really great rom, super fast and stable. Thank again!

I have tried a lot, but nothing was as stable and sophisticated as Bepes 0.53 Full (incl. Cube)
Especially if you use TomTom there's nothing better than flash it with your ROM!
4.5 out of 5 (because of storage running full)

It was very tempting for me to try it, but, reading the thread of Bepe's rom, I'm afraid of the memory leak! It's one of the biggest disadvantage for me if a rom 'eats' the free RAM memory. I know, every ROM does it, even the official, but -according to some forum mates- Bepe's ROM eats a lot and quickly.
Any comment?

Fist had Mischele's TF 3.1, Excellent one, then O2 premium Latest was release. Liked the colourful icons and TF screens. Equally impressed. Both are equally good.
Both ROM were very stable on mine. Maybe my P3300 was 'virgin' before it was flashed with those 2 cooked ROMs.
Thanks to Mischele

Just because TomTom is in the RAM you can imagine those 20MB are missing, BUT also these 20MB free in your data storage.
This does not matter too much. I have to reset every second/third day to get the Memory back - and this doesn't make much difference to any other ROM (including the original) - just try it!
If you do not use TomTom there is absolutely no disadvantage that has not been solved so far!
Tip: OxiosMemory.PocketPC.CAB (Hibernate) helps a bit

B&B 4.1
I've gone "back" to B&B 4.1 as I personally find it the most stable version. I have customised a lot of the screens to a black vista theme and am very happy without SDHC support as my card is only 2GB!

best rom
for me is Vanilla rom v1 (56MB storage/ 27MB free ram) with gsm 02.93.90 + install SDHC driver.
This rom is without TouchFLO and work correct sbp phonesuite and IM+.

Artemis touch 2.1. I´ve problems with later WM6 version and the use of the phone -sometimes it doesn´t let me to use the PHONE unless I make a softreset-

Ok form my experience Meshcle's newest rom is fast and stable and overall a good rom.
B&B is also good but out-dated now that meschle's rom has come out.
Despite this, i switched back to B&B4.3 simply due to the fact that it LOOKS a lot better.
In my opinion, Meschle and Tom and should wortk together and produce a SUPER rom that has all the good features in meshle's and tom's roms witout any of the bad features.
oh yh and meshcle needs advice on how to make his rom's look better because if they did look better i'd use them.

[Q] HD-port vs diamond 2.00?

Ive seen a lot of developments on the first page pertaining to ported HD rom and the new diamond 2.00. For those who have experienced with both (I'm comfortable with 1.93 at the moment), which version seems to be better in terms of usability, stability and performance?
Thanks

I just flashed the 2.0 AFK WWE rom
and WOW, it blows the doors off of 1.9. been using it for a few hours now. haven't found any bugs/glitches. everything i've tested so far seems to work but have not installed anything other than advanced config.
no experience with touch HD port but i don't know how it could be faster than this

i'm using PistonRipper's lite 2.00 rom. It's great, it's stable, it's fast (manila is definitely faster than HD)
i've also tried Ct's 6.1 rom with HD manila but it isn't as responsive as the 2.00 rom (try pressing the Home button, on the 2.00 rom it's almost instant, on the HD you still have a small lag)

used a few hd till i moved to pistonrippers 2.00. wow! wee faster, and way more stable!

I tested several versions of both but still not happy, after a few days all start to give smal issues, like not ringing incoming call or alarm not working.
between both; HD roms look nice.

Where is the pistonrippers ROM? I can't seem to find it...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3024339&postcount=149

Best ROM?
Obviously, the best ROM is the one that suits your needs the best and the one you happen to like the best. Having said that, in answer to your question... I've tried about six different ROM's in as many days, some with ported HD Manila's, some with v1.97, some v2.0
In my opinion, for pure stability, speed, memory management, usability and everything working / displaying as it should - you can't beat Pistonrippers' version of the stock v2.00 test ROM... this is what it does to my face even now

Isn't the 2.00 still a beta? I'm waiting for the official release to try it out
Anyone hazard a guess on when that might be?
Good to know that there are people in HTC working on it even 6 months after the release.... (though this conversely means they weren't quite ready when they released it)

Beta?

Whether the v2.0 is a beta or not doesn't matter. It blows the socks of HTC's previously released ROM's... and in my opinion, a lot of the cooked ROM's as well. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for HTC to slap a new ROM in your lap!

2.00
this beat's any hd ported rom hands .....IMO
trust me.....i have tried them all

friends,, what about duttys 3.6b vs 2.00? what do u say about?

Just tried 2.00 and Duttys 3.6b.. I went back to Duttys. Very stable and had the tools i use. Very close run thing.

My version 6 ROMs are all with the 2.00 base which is very stable and fast, the only diffrence is the manila. I have to agree the latest manila from the 2.00 ROM is very fast but it doesn't have stock like the ported HD manila....and I use it

Duttys 3.6b is as fast as 2.00, I played with 2.00 for a week and went back to duttys as there were a few things about 2.00 i wasnt happy with.

thank you for the helpful replies, guys! With so many good ROMs out there, I don't know which one to use next! THEY'RE ALLL GOOODDD!!!

yeah thats the point! they are all good but some of them hit your needs better than others just choose one if you dun like it just pick up another one im sure you ll find the best for your eneds. for my needs i think udK Syrius HD R0 - Quartz Build 20759.1.4.2 is the best it got some parts portet from the hd and i think for a beta its much better than everything i ve tried yet
cheers

is there a source documenting the changes from 1.93 to 2.0? are there new features or only bug fixes? is there any information if htc will enhance the contacts app or the messaging app? this are the two main areas wm is lacking usability compared to other phone devices.

first of all, the speed of the 2.00 rom, its a lot faster and with the last manilla, its faster then any other diamond rom I tried, including the hd port..
it even comes close to the htc blackstone (HD), it reacts just as fast..
about the enhancements:
I found out that you can slide the email messages like in the touchflo3d with this rom..
if you click on a envelope in tf3d it opens the email,then you can slide to the following email by sliding to the left or right, never noticed this before? is it new in 2.00 rom ?

I'm not sure I have even tried 2.0
Does anyone know if Duttys V3.3 is based on a 1.9x or 2.0?

[REQ] A light WWE WM 6.5.3 with Sense 2.5?

Hi,
would anyone care to build a 6.5.3 ROM with Sense 2.5, WWE? I only found an ITA release, and it appears to be in early beta as well...
Only addititon I'd like is the Tachi dialer and ConnectionSetup (of course in addition to what's included in Sense2.5). I don't care much about any other extra packages or software built into the ROM!
Would this be possible?

It's 6.5, not 6.5.3 - at least not yet And I don't want a resembled stock ROM, since they are stuffed with unnecessary software and packages, which leads to low program storage available. But thanks for the effort!

Unfortunatelly, a ROM that packages Sense 2.5 will never be a light ROM..
The best ROM with Win6.5 for me still DonSalari's Sense 2.1...

Thanks for the answer, but that's not entirely true. There are some pretty light versions including Sense 2.5. Although it will never be as light as 2.1, of course. But I really want the Sense2.5 calendar I'm on Sun-Y WM6.1 Sense2.5 now, but WM6.5.3 is really tempting!

Hehe, yep, I fear that too... But I was hoping that someone might give it a try. I found one ROM here but there is no info about RAM usage etc. and so far no WWE version

Diamond ROM with TouchFLO2D

Strange question, there is a ROM based on WM6.1 or WM6.5 that using TouchFLO2D?
I have try many ROM with TouchFLO3D/Sense2.5, but no one is quickly as my old Touch Viva!
I have try also the stock ROM of Diamond, but some custom ROM is more quickly also with Sense2.5

Yes, I agree, I'm finding Rom 6.5.x + TouchFlo with optimization for 128Mg RAM of Diamond, not like Energyrom, it's very good but too too big to fit in 128Mb.

Diamond has 192MB of RAM .
TouchFlo2D would be funny though.

I have try EnergyROM for a while but isn't so light, now I've Kimera 4.5(win 6.1) with Sense 2.5 disabled. Diamond is now VERY faster but the appearance isn't the same... Some month ago when I had Touch Viva! with the stock ROM and Manila2D the telephone was very quickly! and the appearance isn't so bad... a good compromise I think.
Do you have a good 6.5 ROM with Titanium to suggest me? Possibly in italian(really I need XT9 italian language not all the system)
Thanks to all.

you can try the diamond lover's rom is fast...has titanium and manila 2.5...is fast and i really like it

[another shameless promotion] look in my sig. Doesnt have Italian T9 though. But you can install your own keyboard (like fingerkeyboard)! (my rom uses the standard MS keyboard) [/shameless promotion]

I actually built a diamond 6.5 ROM with TF2D, just out of curiosity. The interface was fast, but it actually used more RAM than TouchFlo3D 1.2 did, and was kinda buggy. Those, added to the fact that the new and interesting versions of TF2D weren't available in VGA, meant that there really wasn't any advantage to using it.

I tried titanium but I don't like this interface. Very difficult when i want to change something.
Now I use energyrom 28008 with touchFLO 3d because I prefer finger friendly in WM 6.5.x.
This ROM is very fast, less error even it reach to 10mb free Ram after 1 day. I use addict CleanRam 1.93 to solve this prob. I wish find a way to reduce RAM cooked for increasing free memory.

where to find??

Hope someone can help me.

or you could try panosha lite roms
they're old by now, but they lack SENSE - maybe it's worth a shot?

why not just download the official rom and disable sense?

The DIA Duit v1.7 is the best after I tried most of other ROMS, everything works smoothly except the Internet search cannot pass the query to the Opera 10.

.....my opinion tested many rom...
1) dia duit 1,7.
2) min 74 Y2

I was testing atleast 10 ROMs but i am settled with MEMO 2.5.5.1 (they still improving it)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649841
a worth trying this

You should try Cloudyfa's Rom
http://rapidshare.com/files/261693573/Diamond_Cloudy_1.3.zip

My opinion , i have tested like 50 rom's or so
2.11 Gen.Y wwe
Very stable , all is workind (except video call) by defalut (no patches or others)
Consumes 77 of your memory .

2) min 74 Y2 - This one I reckon it's probably the best only if you use European languages. I tried to install the chinese keyboard input onto the EzInput 2.1 and it failed to show in the keyboard option list. Dia Duit uses the basic one, so I just install EzInput 2.0 and it works with the chinese keyboard.

I agree... Nataly project is now near to be a myth, it's inventor was a real genius
anyway the basic kitchens are all the same, what's make difference is above all the approach, if you need a very fast/light rom you have no choice: go for a WM6.1 + classic manila (like I did many months ago), our weak & oldish diamond haven't enough ram to manage the "modern circus"
