currently i have the official ATT WM6 rom installed and idk if its just me or not but it seems slow as hell roughly the same speed that my old wing was and the 8525 is double the speed
can i just install a custom rom ontop of the att one or how does this all work exactly? I already cid and sim unlocked my 8525
In your guys opinion whats the best 8525 rom to use? thanks for your time and help
You can check the ROM benchmarks thread (link is in my signature). Safe bets are Schap's, TNT, VP3G, these guys were around for long time - if you are more adventurous soul you can try other ROMs as well. Do not be lazy and search about these ROMs advantages/disadvantages in their threads. It will pay off (my own experience). Welcome to Hermes forum!
I'll second KarhU's welcome...
I'll also second his choice of Roms....
I'll also second his advice not to be lazy.....
Which Rom works for one person doesn't always work for someone else... VP3G's Roms are great, but not so good for me - my choice is Schaps - before his (her?) great Roms I loved the Black Roms which were a toss up with Custel's... before that I waited up all night for Kyphur's creations... See the pattern? The only way to get the best Rom for you is to try them.
And remember - the latest isn't always the best so try some earlier roms, read the threads and apply the patches/fixes - most recent Roms are good (I have a few more to try such as TNT etc)
BUT no one will tell you which is best for you - it's kind of like choosing a woman - right speed, wrong colour
where can i find all of these roms exactly?

which is the best & stablest rom for hermes ???
Shap's 3.54c
ciao
ROM based on latest AT&T 3.61 are really good. You can cook it the way you want with pandora kitchen. There is at this time none released cooked ROM using this version as far as I know
what about 3.60a
I'm very happy with the HTC Original build.
Keep going, one positive and one negative for each available rom please.
Mate, if there was a quick answer to that question, do you think this forum would have so many threads?
Rom from edhaas is fast and stable.
I'm very happy with the TNT 2.0 rom. It's fast and stable. Only one major flaw: After some number of soft resets, my device bricks at the last reset and the only solution to that is a hard-reset. I'm trying to find out if this can be avoided by using the ClearTemp program, cooked in the 6mb prof. rom. There is an option of clearing the Bootcount number. I really hope this works.
Besides that the 2.0 rom is the best one for me.
Schap's 3.60a - only one I've tried that doesn't occasionally freeze plus based on tmobile test rom so no device ID change!
..one way to find out.. if your device still responsive after running as many programs as below, then that should be an ideal ROM to hang on to.. but in order to do this, there is no easy way or a straight answer to it, u gotta flash & flash again until that "special one" is found.. this is the holy grail & why such developer forum as this one exists in the first place..
@OP p/s : why don't u set up a poll in this thread, since there are new ROMs cooked/official/unofficial been released since the last poll..
what is the best Wm6 rom and is it worth it upgrading with the official one i am new in this phone stuff thx for the help
You can check my thread with WM6 ROMs benchmarks. Usually it is good to go for the last cooked ROMs which have most of the bugs already eliminated. Safe bets are TNT, Schaps or VP3G, from newer ones it is Kin0kin's ROM - but choose according to your taste - differences between ROMs are quite small. And do not expect a definitive answer to your question - there is nothing like "the best ROM" - everybody has different needs and preferrences. Choose the one you like best yourself.
hi i am new to this scene although i have been hacking devices for several years so am not a complete N00b. I just want to know if i have got the right idea here:
I follow this guide: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
With this hardspl (v1.24): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
This Radio Rom (v1.00.25.05): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
And this rom: http://www.duttythroy.net/download-area.html?task=view.download&cid=149
Is this right? Will this upgrade run smoothly with these options? Also i have not yet recieved my fone, will do in the next few days, it is an Upgrade from Orange UK. Will all this run smoothly on my fone? Or does it depend upon product versions etc of the software/hardware on my fone? Its just that i have been reading around all the info and have noticed that sometimes it does matter.
Thanks for any help,
James
once u hard-spl u can flash any radio and rom. not necessarily just those two.
make sure its hard-spl DEVELOPER edition.not SIGNED edition
Yep i know that but i think those are the recommended radio and hardspl for the dutty rom i have chosen.

If you just want to flash Dutty's ROM, those choices are OK and will work.
I tested/used a lot of Dutty's ROM's and I can say that they are solid and decent ROM's but not the fastest (fast enough though )
Read the WIKI
There's alot of Topics on radio rom's posted in the wiki
Peace

Hi, i dont mean to sound stupid and annoy you but can a few of you tell me which are the best roms for performance/features? I have read the wikis and guides, however there are too many different roms, and the guides do not fully explain the benefits of each one.
Thanks, i was gonna go with dutty's as i thought it was the most popular?

Hey everyone,
Is it necessary to HardSPL before every ROM update?
I have dutty rom but bbc iplayer dosen't work on it so thinking about changing to another one...
Also what is the best way to pick a ROM? What do you compare?
Thanks
No, once you've installed a Hard-SPL it will work for every ROM update. Well, Hard-SPL's that support unsigned ROM's will work for every ROM update. Hard-SPL's that only support signed ROM's will work only on signed ROM's.
As for comparing ROM's; that is very personal.. Most popular ROM's are very much the same if it comes to speed. Differences are mainly in functionality, stability and the way they look out of the kitchen. Read the ROM topics and find out if what they have to offer suits you!
Do you want a tweaked and full functional ROM with a lot of applications cooked in? Or do you prefer a light or naked ROM, so you can save your space for just the applications you prefer and tweak it yourself?
Do you want it to look like a HTC stock Diamond or do you like what some cooks have done with the way the taskbar and TF3D look? Remember that you can install all applications, do some tweaking and change the look of your Diamond yourself.
As for stability, read the member remarks in the ROM's topics! That will give you a clue what to expect.
Just a question from my side which I cant seem to find an answer for (might be using the wrong search syntax). A ROM update should not affect the workings for your cell provider? As long as you know the MMS and other settings you can use any English (home language) ROM and your device will still pick up your service provider without a hitch?
My reason for asking is because I have noticed that even though HTC has released a new ROM past 1.93, if I go to the website enter my serial the only ROM I can download is still the 1.93. Thats why I am asking this n00b question...
just upgraded to the touch diamond from the e650... but there seem to be LOADS more roms for this phone, im just wondering what the best one is or what is the update for my one.
rom ver:1.93.405.1 wwe
rom date :08/06/08
radio:1.00.25.05
i tryed to download am updated rom from htc site by adding my s/n but it doesnt let me, i gues my phone is an inport from hong kong :S tho it have registerd on the uk site :S
would be greatfull if someone can help, best cooked rom and updated standerd rom???
could also have somethink to do with its from orange??? tried to look on the orange website but couldnt find my phone on ther :S
so if anyone knows of a orange rom update too would be good. tho i dont want ****y orange branding
try to download the newest htc rom with Internet Explorer
use this as serial on htc website : ht822gn28022
btw, try cooked roms, they are lot better than stocks and dont ask which one is best coz different people likes different roms
I ordered mine through Hong Kong also (im from Australia), and like you I cant get a 'stock' ROM to download via the official site, and even if you get someone else to download it for you, it comes up as the wrong ROM type when you attempt to flash it.
There is a Telstra ROM floating around that you can download via unofficial means, and I got that to install ok, but it has a heap of bigpond specific links on it.. not to mention doesnt actually work without a Telstra SIM (plus its a boring ROM anyway).
As for cooked ROM's, yes id recommend just choose one you like, they are all decent, some just have better applications or aesthetics which is nice, however if I had my time again, I might think twice, because there is a hard-reset issue that has been floating around for quite a few users... and the fixes havent worked, so I pretty much need to get a new phone now.
before you loose hours and hours trying
try the BsB-o, best rom here
yo adsoxda my diamond was on orange france, from france i cannot use my model number on htc website as well, but i used that one (ht822gn28022) which wasnt come frome my phone and downloaded rom, flashed and enjojed for couple of days before i moved to cooked . Gary dont forget about hard spl and mitty have fun
Try bort rom.i think the best
I recommend you the Best ROM! it's the Best!
make your own rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513311
BSB 6.5Q only Titanium
it works great for me!!!!
LESS RAM USAGE, FAST, STABLE AND FULLY WORKING WITH iGO, S2U2 and CHANGESCREEN!
THE TOP!
"best" is relative ... it all depends on what you want - features? Speed? Stability? Fancy animations? etc etc.
I've gone through a few ROMs, and really like Dia Duit's ROM. Very stable, very fast, lots of memory.The only way to find out for sure is to try it for yourself.
Of course it's so!
thanks people tryed a few and useing bsb one, not sure witch revs tho. i install the hard spl befor it too.
meny thanks
Yes, always make sure you Hard-SPL before flashing any ROM, and I'd also strongly recommend to MTTY before any flash, and it'll be a much more pleasant experience flashing and trying different ROM's!
Good luck, enjoy!
I love c_shekhar 's ROM.
Energy ROM the best! =D
