Advice, ROM version... - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi,
Got a brand new Artemis running WM6 (ce 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2).
I would like to install a new ROM (French ou English) with nice colors (particulary for FM radio and Comm manager, i hate green and would like grey or black for them...).
Which version should i use ?
Thanx, Laurent.

Hey there.
For me the best roms are those made by Meschle like the Artemis Touch 3.01 light with cube which im runnin now although Tom Codons Black and blue roms are also worth a look, im sure there's some more great roms but these are the only ones i've used so far. Hope this helps

Meschle's Touch 3.0 is all grey by default. Everything matches the grey theme pretty well. B&B ROM is a little more visually appealing, however, I haven't gotten it to be stable. But it may have been updated since then.

What is the fastest ROM?

Hi!
What is the fastest ROM for the ARTEMIS?
Is the "ARTEMIS Vanilla 2.0 WWE ROM" or the "ARTEMIS Touch 2.1 WM6 WWE" faster?
Full version or lite version?
Has anybody done a comparison?
bye
Nelix123
well
be the first to campare them
Hi. I find the fastest for me is the HTC P3300 official ROM. I have tried several of these roms here and this and the official O2 rom was the fastest on my Orbit. I am running TomTom6.30 on it and it comes up in like 20 secs from cold all the time. The buttons are responsive and don't have to wait around for them to load. I had not noticed anything adverse with this Rom. Hope it helps.
Meschle Vanilla 2.0
I can definately say meschle's vanilla 2.0 is the fastest rom out there... try it you'll be amazed!
ARTEMIS Vanilla 2.0 WWE ROM is faster then Touch. IMHO
i have artemis 2.2 touch and is very good
@ most of you above: how can you state the speed of different ROMs when you have tested them after each other in stead of next to each other?
I've tried half a dozen different ROMs, but I can't really say which one is the fastest. I have my thoughts off course, but I can't compare them next to each other.
@ TS: if you want to test this, try to install the same programs on eacht ROM (apart from the ones who came with the ROM), and use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes to do some things (for instance open \windows folder, start up TomTom, make the touch cube go round 3 times). Maybe you can find/use a PocketPC benchmark tool to automate some things for you?
I've tried many ROMs for my Artemis. I can simply say meschle's Vanilla 2.0 is the fastest I've seen.

You know, my problem with the Vanilla ROM is that there is no
- AudioManager (eats half of memory than WMP),
- Voice Recorder,
- X-Button / Task Manager,
- Big button dialer (3 buttons in one row, instead of 4)
- HTC Home plugin (OK, it's not necessary if you have Spb Mobile Shell)
on board, if I understood well from the Vanilla 2.0 thread.
I've just mentioned the progs which I'd like to have and all go to Widows folder, causing a remarkable slowdown of the system. So, this is my dilemma: if I clothe a Vanilla with all those programs I loose its speed, the main advantage of the rom.
That's why I'm still hesitating which rom to try, while using the official WM6...

Ah, ok ... thx.
Was bit confused about the name
Hi!
And thanks for all the information!
One more question:
What do you think and what is your experience, respectively?
What ROM is faster: Vanilla 2.0 (CE OS 5.2.1921 (Build 18125.0.7.0) or original German (CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Or does it make no difference?

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.

Looking for touchflo 4sided cube touch rom or something

Hi plx,
Im looking foor a good rom with touchflo 4sided cube and the best would be a gr8 working full touch rom for artemis or something
so I hope you guys could get me some links/downloads.
thnx anyway
don't look for the cube because it's crap
here are tons of manila2D roms
and they are fast...and have better feeling
I've gone back to the old roms because the manilla ones are crap. Generally the love roms seemed best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400452
I'm back on 4.02.

hey 4.02 is still the best one
there is no problem with manila...there is a problem with cookers...there are no more dedicated cookers like meschle...i am waiting for my artemis... so i can cook something myself
enough of vietnamese junk (except for few)
There is a problem with Manilla, in the fact it uses an awful lot of memory for essentially the same functions as HTC Home, but with fancy graphics. For the record, until Manilla 2D is either hacked so it doesn't use as much RAM, or there is some way of extending the memory (as on WM2003SE), I won't go back. I'm on Artemis Touch 4.02 Full with no cube at the moment, in my view the best rom around.
Ok NVM guys Ive found a good one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400452

only need to load my contacts into outlook and sync 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...

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?

[Q] expecially to italian: a stable clean 6.5 ROM?

I tried different ROMs, especialy the Shady313 but it has the big problem of dialing delay, so it unusable (tried it full, lite and oem)? I mean like the shady313 lite! Or better a old 6.1 - I tried the CB but it is not so fast as I desire. Mainly I like, light, no frills (i have my preferres applications) ROM - I have them on a Hermes and Tytn II and love them - 6.5 stripped to the bone, meaning they look more like a 6.1, without that stupid today screen and honeycomb
