Hello all. I'm a happy possesor of a htc tytn, and i want to install wm6 on it. please, tell me, which one is the most stable, fast, and nice? i want if someone can tell me, the best radio version, and wm6 clean and full version (with and without touchflo) to tell me. thank you all.
Hi, there isn't really one ROM that is better, nicer and faster. All have different attributes, so you should read a bit, compare, and possibly try a few before you go for your own choice.
The same goes for radios it depends on location as well as the type of use that you use the phone for I have 3 Hermes two with 1.50.00.00 and one with 1.54.00.10 and they bo0th are about the same but here is a thread about radio's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358933 so follow the advice of all the seniors here and read, read and read some more an before you flash read again and use bookmarking to help locate useful info when bad stuff happens so good luck and happy flashing bro
i'm from romania. radio for RO . and what about wm6? which one you think that is good?
Try TNT.SE to start but you will have to try a few to find what suits your tast and needs, I have liked all the ones stated in my earlier post but there are so many good cooks for the hermes that is why I have three so I can enjoy all of them at once. It is not an easy decision if you only want to flash once but if you are like most of us her in the hermes house you will want to try them all over time but only you can be the judge of what works for you
Simple question I want all opinions, I just got my 2nd 8525, and this time I am gonna do it RIGHT!! (last 1 i had I was super n00b and kiled it within 48hrs I cried for a week) Anyways I just want the simplest answer or opinion I want my 8525 to last forever. SO I will flash it to the BEST WM6 ROM once and never again will I change it.
SO I am looking for just the BEST GENERAL OVERALL WM6 ROM, I am just gonna be using it as phone and only use the WiFI to connect to the NET, so the ROM I am looking for needs to be STABLE and needs to NOT ruin me or my 8525, I have been reading everyones SIGs to see what ROMs ya'll use, but I just WANT the Opinions of the regulars here
WHAT Windows Mobile 6 ROM should I upgrade to?? I will take ALL suggestions PLEASE help me, I dont wanna kill my 8525 again, I just want to flash it and leave it at that!!
THANK YOU EVERYONE
P.S I'm not a complete n00b if u read the whole thread you'll see I do my homework
the number one advise which everyone has been giving which has been pounded into everyone's mind, which you somehow manage to avoid listening to, is to first install hardspl. Hardspl is a must if you want to upgrade your rom.
as for the best rom recommendation, i will tell you this, there is no such thing as a best rom, everyone will have their own preferences, what works for one may not work for another person. just see any thread on ppl asking for best roms and you will see many many different replies.
just by the fact that you are making this post i will assume you want the easy way out, you rather have ppl do the recommendations for you than read and learn on your own, so i will give you the easy way out solution. Install the official at&t wm6 rom, and just soft reset before the customization starts and there you go, all done. its either that or return you phone and get a firefly. or a symbian phone. but i highly recommend the firefly.

Remember follow the steps
HARSPL V7 first .. (from olipro)
You will find it and visit
wiki.xda-developers.com
Still don't believe noobs don't read the guides before installing. As test7875 said above you need to go through the upgrade guide, and possibly wiki pages before you do anything to your phone.

this is my 2nd time around if you Wouldnt MIND checking out the attached jpeg of my 8525 Bookmarks you would see that I do DO MY homework, I have read the wiki over and over, and I already have DONE the HARSPL V7 first .. (from olipro).
Once you've got HardSPL on, it's up to you really. Some are good and some are...flaky, to be polite.
I would start with the official one from your carrier and use that for a day or two so you have a good, hopefully stable, benchmark to measure the competition up against.
Bang all your apps on it and see how it runs then try the same thing on the cooked ones.
Smiffy.
I Phrased my Subject of the Thread and my actual question WRONG, I know that ther is NO best ROM is all about what features u want, be I want the opinions of you guys, the ones that call me a n00b, I value your opinion, I did my homework, I just want to flash my 8525 ONCE to a WM6 ROM that will last me the life of the phone. Heres what I like 1. theme skins 2. stability 3. good wifi 4. and I guess I want no bloatware so it will be a FAST ROM
So basically I just want to know what you guys (the experts) can suggest to me. Just want 1 ROM that will enable me to use my 8525 to the best of its capabilities!!
thank you
nicknowsky

its hard to pick a ROM for you. Generally you can't go wrong with Farias/Dr Puttinghams/schaps to name a few. As for applications, be careful not to overload your phone with .cab's as this will slow it down.
There are a number of ROM's out there which are stripped of applications and built more for speed (though right now I'm having a complete blond moment and can't remeber one of them....doh!!!), and from there you can add to your own personal preferences.
Hey SPARTAN, I noticed u are using WM6.1, but before that what ROM did you use, and better yet what was the ROM that you used the absolute LONGEST??? or what is your personal favorite??
I'm a bit of a ROM freak, as I never keep the same ROM for any real length of time. Think I've used pretty much everything with little tweaks here and there.
Mostly used Schaps, as he tends to provide very stable ROM’s and eagerly awaiting Schaps 6.1 full version, but currently using Faria-R32 / Dr Puttingham WM6.1
Well I am close to going thru with the ROM flash, I just did my weekly REINSTALL of my operating system (been using XP lately) and I just installed the necessary drivers and programs to keep my computer from messing up or having ANY sort of error while the flash process is going on, just the very basics installed, thats really what the cause of death was for my first AT&T 8525(HERMES100) I got sloppy and was then a n00b, did a real n00bish thing and KILLED my 1st 8525. The funny thing with that was I had it for only 48hrs, and I cried for a week after. I still have it, might send it to HTC USA for repair.
But getting back to the todays upgrade, I am still in the process of deciding what ROM I will install, so I gotta ask are there ANY last recommendations on which WM6 ROM I should use?? I just wanna hear any and all last opinions
1st : Shamanix Ultimate v2 Final and 2nd : Kinokin WM6 Final.
I'm valuing ALL opinions
I know, I know this getting annoying and I keep asking dumb questions but I wanna decide, so here is the question
Which is better and/or more stable Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 or 4.01???
and how good is Schap's WM6 Pro 4.31 cause I am almost leaning towards 4.31, but I like I have said before I want stability and something thats gonna keep my 8525 running longest and strongest
This is gonna be it NO more stupidity coming from ME, I just want last opinions on Schap's WM6 Pro 4.00 - 4.01 and 4.31
and THANK YOU everyone who took the time to help me, I know members like me get annoying, but I do my homework, I just wanted a little help
THANKS
Opinions, eh? I'm opinionated AND drunk...
Here's mine: go with 6.0 instead of 6.1.
People experienced in dealing with little niggles and issues by altering registry entries or installing lots of small cabs get on fine with 6.1, depending on which ROM of course. If you're new to upgrading then the issues that have yet to ironed out of 6.1 in such as a way as to make it a simple 1-click-to-install-and-you're-done job will probably annoy you too much. Smiffy's advice was really good mate: start with a ROM you can rely on, which basically means your own carrier's. If they haven't produced a WM6 yet (mine, OrangeUK, haven't and probably won't as they do lag rather badly in that area) then go for the most basic, cut-down and reportedly stable 6.0.
After you've got used to using your carrier's mobile you'll notice when the phone's faster or not when using different things on a new ROM. Only move up to 6.1 when you're well-used to how your phone fares with 6.0. (I'm assuming you won't install any benchmarking software. Not calling you lazy as I don't either - I just judge the 'feel' of it.)
I heartily recommend using mattk_r's Pandora Naked 6.0 - it's stable as any ROM I've ever used, including official ROMs. Give me a minute, I'l fetch the link.
Here you go.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1731669
I use a ROM based on the kitchen with a lot of my own kit thrown in. But I didn't start out like that; I started out like you, needing a few pointers, doing a lot of reading and occasionally annoying the hell out of myself.
By the way, if you're not using an SDHC card (which I assume you're not from the sounds of things) do me a favour and stick a copy of the original carrier's ROM on your SD card after renaming it HERIMG.nbh. Should you do a ChunkyMonkey Special and temporarily brick your phone (I used to do it all the time mate) it's an easy out in many cases, even if you can't boot past your bootloader.
(But take the SD card out when you flash your ROM. Although that's good practice anyway, so just do it.. )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359917&highlight=ultimate
As you can see (if you checked!) Ultimate is based on Schaps 4.31 ROM and more refined.
I'd go for LVSW.
Seriously man, you're asking the impossible. If you've read the forum so throroughly as you've claimed, you'd know that once you start, you'll not stop. Each of the ROMs, whilst good in their own way, has some kind o prolems with it that will make you change it for something else.
For example - Schaps 4.31 - an excellent rom but you have to install a fix for button 5 plus a couple of other gripes. Nothing major but enough to make me eventually keep looking once something different comes along.
You're not going to find the "one" rom.
The only place you'll find the one is in the matrix. Flashing is like the red pill. You're free of restraint but it comes at a cost.
I know I am asking for a "DREAM" I really just wanted opinions of what would be a GOOD, solid WM6 ROM, cause I am gonna flash it ONCE to the ROM I pick and that s IT, not more flashing or trying out new ROMs and this or that.
Put it this way IF you all had to CHOOSE just 1 WM6 ROM to flash and the fate of the world was riding on your choice of ROM, it had to be stable and save humanity, What ROM would that be??
thats the kinda opinions I want to help me make my choice
hi!
I think there are more people like me who are flashing their devices twice or more per week - depends of relasing new versions of cooked ROMs.
My question is to ALL :
is there are chance for PERFECT ROM ?
ROM which will have everything what needed, no bugs, no issues, no fixes needed, no additional software ????
what do you think???
well 6.1 isnt official on the hermes, so cooks are trying their best to make it work for us. With updates etc its almost impossible to have a perfect rom -
its an operating system, all operating systems have flaws hence the updates, then software updates, new features etc.
No. You've got more chance of finding a perfect woman (or man).
Even if I had the perfect ROM, chances are I would want to try something else just to see if I was wrong.
Start cooking yourself! Maybe then you might be able to find the perfect one! But then I doubt it
PS: What is the definition of "perfect"? If you can give one, then you might be able to build one!
It's really fast and good to use ultra clean rom with no any other applications on it so that you can customize anything you want with your own will and at the same time save a lot of RAM and ROM spaces.
So I am here to appeal any nice guy to make such rom for us like below link as I can only find lite/light rom for Diamond but not CLEAN enough since I brought my Diamond and said goodbye to my ELF.

I'm waiting for something similar too. UserCustomisable capability is ESSENTIAL however, otherwise it makes using an ultra clean rom pretty nightmarish.
It is!
More choice for end user!
Need the "LEGO".
Maximum clear system + bricks (cabs).
It's what I've been asking for all along. A clear stripped out ROM with everthing which has been removed as cabs.
It´s coming.... I have a plan to release a kitchen with a super clean base and then all packages you want to add in will be availale during the build process. It´s something similar to what they guys Alex and jcespi2005 did on the Kaiser thread and it´s very easy to use. But it won´t be released until next week as I don´t have time until I start my holidays... but it´s great to see there´s a few people interested.
Wow!
Waiting for.
nice request.
i would love to see an ultra clean rom with no touchflo, no tf3d and no other apps except the default windows apps..
just like to see how much memory can we get from an ultra clean to the bone rom.

Just a quick question, whats the point in having lots of "memory" if you dont put any apps on the phone?
this will be the most anticipated ROM ever!
I would expect that 95% of the people who use cooked ROMs want to customise these to suit their own needs.
Ultra clean...WOW..perfect

good luck on getting a "feature packed" ROM that is also "loaded with apps"...
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418312&highlight=no+tf3d you can find a clean ROM (the second one). Before you install it please read the comments (last).
I've been using SwiftBL 7.5 Full and I must say I like that ROM a little more than Dutty 3.2. I got Dutty's ROM so far and I don't know where to start to look for some speedy ROMs. I'm not talking lite only, I mean anything as long as it isn't too stripped down. Let me start the specifics...
1. Full Bluetooth Functionality especially A2DP, Headset, AVRCP, and OBEX
2. Stripped to the bare minimum but functional as in no Getting Started BS, no T9 correction (it gets annoying when you do everything DIY), Help Center since this is the great and only source to come for help , Live this and that, and if possible PIE unless it will conflict with the whole deal like in regular Windows
3. Allow access to some of the most deepest settings around
4. Leaving the HTC stuff in, maybe tweaking TouchFlo a little more if possible.
I might seem to be too strict so tell me these things and the pros and cons relating to what I want in the ROM you suggest. Thanks and I'm glad to be a member here, hopefully not just a one-post wonder Keep up the great work guys.
i know the purrrrr-fect ROM for you!!!
its called...search_button.nbh
seriously just read some threads and test the ROMS yourself. Nobody is going to care about what you want and find you a ROM to suit your picky list of requests.
everybody has different views on different ROMS, so what people think maybe fast, steady and perfect may not be in your case.
Duttys V3.3 WWE 5.2.20931.1.5_1.09.25.23

welcome new member
but the other poster is right
you need to start reading........search....search ohhh and search some more
whats good for me.....may not be good for you
best and only way to see what rom is best is to start flashing
good luck and all the best with you diamond
You can start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406640 , the benchmark of benchmarks... hihi
u've tried swift's and duttys... which are one of the better ones out there...
if u prefer swifts (as i do) you should stick to it...
as above no absolute 1 rom is miles ahead of another... what suits A will not always suit B and C etc...
I've been told udK isn't bad, I"m giving it a try now.
Dia Duit ROM v07
But seriously, you should try it yourself. Only you know what is the best for you
