Please choose the most usable ROM...
If there is any critical ROM that i didn't mention please let me know...
This is an additionally thread to imperator74's
I thought that a poll could be a good idea..
Im using the original that came with the phone because I dont really know alot about them
I have tested almost every rom you mention but my last and more for my taste is the O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC .
I have tried a few cooked ROMs from the forum. But now Im back to Original HTC ROM
Vanilla 2.0
I loved trying all cooked ROMs, wished to have the last one (3.01) but it was very buggy, so I am back to vanilla 2.0 cuz it is very table, fast, smooth, nd lovely.
I may try flashing back to an original one, then retry the 3.01 to see if it is better, and let yall know about.
I'm using B&B 4.3 fastest, stable, with nice icons,look it very pro, i like it.thanks TOMCODON
After having been trying O2 Premium 2.0 WM6 WWE ROM, 5.2.1921 SDHC Full for 2 weeks I found a bug that causes hangs on if somebody wants to call me.
Today decided to change to Artemis Touch full with cube. I hope I will not change it for a long time

Me too!
I was quite mistrustful on cooked ROMs but finally tried B&B 4.3, about 2 weeks ago and I've stick to it so far. It has only minor glitches, like every rom has some... E.g. somtimes it doesn't send an SMS, saying that "the Phone is not ready, wait 15 sec..." and only soft reset helps. But it happened only twice during 2 weeks.
Antoher issue quite important for me is the memory leak. The B&B 4.3 performs quite well in that sense, after a whole day of usage it's around 17-18 M free RAM (from 24 after soft reset). I think it's reasonable, but if somebody knows a rom with minor memory leak, please, tell me!
So, I voted for B&B 4.3.

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.
Is there an official Win 6.1 ROM from HTC yet?
If this forum keeps pumping those roms at this rate I dont care if HTC can get their stuff together. HTC looks prety useless compared to ppl posting cooked roms here.

You don't understand subject of this threat, do you?
Its great people are cooking these roms and sharing them.
But, I just want a plain and simple official rom and install couple of progs I use myself..
Try the vanilla rom, its as close to official as you can get. I love official roms, there clean and stable but meschels vanilla rom is just as good. He doesnt mess, doesnt force his own tweaks on you, lets you do it.
Ive tried the B&B v5 rom but its over loaded with customizations and it runs way slow, compared to the official T-MObile wm6 rom. Vanilla is hella fast. Very smooth and optimized.

ARTEMIS VANILLA 4.01 WWE ROM - WM6.1 Final 5.2.19199 (SDHC)
For me this one is better than the any official rom.
Cheers.
The vanilla rom is also only realeased when it properly works!

Try Atermis Vanila Rom
It is plain and fast.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on an offical HTC WM6.1 update considering how long it took them to release WM6.
I'd guess that might have been down to SDHC licensing issues
AFAIK HTC have not released rom with sdhc support or have they?
So any rom they release are inferior to Marks new Vanilla rom.
Even though I have had my 8525 for 5-6 months now I still have not flashed it with any ROM other than the AT&T WM6 upgrade. I really want to try a different ROM that runs smoother and has more available memory. Could someone please give a few suggestions for a good clean safe ROM I could try? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
If it's your first ROM to flash youmight want to try a 6.0 before a 6.1 as some people (though not all) have to do a fair bit of fiddling with it to keep it stable.
This - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1731669#post1731669 - is what I use. (I try a fair few ROMs but always go back to an edited version of that ROM afterward.) Safe as houses. Mattk_r's done a really good job on the Pandora ROMs and kitchens.
Mate, we can tell you what we like BUT it will just be YOUR personal prefernce that finally decides what you want. So saying as chunkymonkey said, stay away from 6.1 until it is a bit more stable. Schapps, Pays, Faria,Dr Puttenham,Mattk_r and TNT are all good Rom chefs. Look in the wiki to find (it will probably take you a while to decide) so looks like saturday or sunday is gonna be full. Black roms are pretty good too but are starting to become old now as I believe the last was cooked middle of last year. After finding the chef you like you gotta decide if you want a rom full of 3rd party apps or a lite rom for speed.
As a Personal preference I like TNT SE. seems fairly stable with not too many 3rd party apps cooked in so I can use the apps I love. Happy flashing...
hey climber just last week I was asking the exact same question, but I had some experience, anyways I wasnt sure but BEST fore people like you and me is this ROM Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 ROMs [WWE/FRA] its the best 6.0 out there and has a LITE version which you are looking for here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359458
Try Schaps 4.31 or K's (kin0kin)'s final win mob 6.0 both are very good win mob 6 roms and are generally easier to work with than 6.1 roms. Make sure you install hardspl (takes about 5 minutes) before you flash a custom rom
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?
Like the title says im new to all this custom rom stuff and looking for some insight on whats the best cooked rom for my tilt 2. ive been through 3 fuzes and now 2 of the tilt 2's so im no stranger to windows mobile. Just looking for some help. Thanks in advance
there are honestly thousands of threads with people asking for the best ROM. Here are some guidlines:
1) Best will be a personal opinion
2) Any Sense 2.5 ROM will be less responsive than Sense 2.1
3) Pick a rom that best suits your needs (eye candy, functionality, responsiveness, etc)
Go to the rom forum and sort by most posts, latest post, and most views to get an idea of what everyone else is using and what they like/dislike about it.
Also make sure you flash the correct SPL and Rom (GSM or CDMA).

thanks for the help! I guess i should have been more detailed on what i use my phone for. I text alot, talk of course, use the interned, the weather option, blue tooth and on occasion the wifi, i want something that responds well and is fast. Normally after about 90 days of using a WM phone the lag is just horrible. i just exchanged my phone through ATT for the above reasons. i want something that runs fast yet is stable at the same time.
I know i know i know, have my cake and eat it too to some extent lol

I would suggest going with the NRG Pheonix rom. A lot of people have that as their favorite and it seems to be very stable/speedy. Most of the newer Leo Sense 2.5 roms have slight messaging problems (especially with landscape mode). Never used it but you can rest assured that it is one of the better roms available.
