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.

I've notice a couple of custom ROM for the Trinity. Would those of you who have tried these ROM give me a recommendation on which i should try. I'm currently using Schap's ROM for Hermes but am now looking to flash my Trinity as well.
Might sound weird but has anybody tried flashing Schap's ROM for Hermes to the Trinity?
Thank you for an advice given.
I have found a few useful WWE (English ROMs) that all have there own nice features.
but the nicest so far for me is this one. bepe's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317690
it comes in 4 versions Full, NoTomTom, Lite, Lite VC.

I have tried many WM6 ROMs, I personally feel the 'bepe' ROM is the best so far too.
I use AX3L 2.0.8.2 ROM but also tried LSVW ROM. In my opinion there is no best ROM in general, just the best ROM for you so try a few and you decide which one is best for you.
It would be good if all versions of ROMs could be compared against one another over what they contain as well as stability or people recommending as it would help with questions such as this!
My personal experience:
AX3L, very fast, very stable, slightly outdated software versions, not as good looking/user friendly due to the lack of htchome and htsmusicmanager
Bepe, this seems to be a ver fast and very up to date version, but the feature list is not as clear as AX3l's so i am not sure how fast it really is.
PDAVIET, i am using this now, feels slower than AX3l, is fully updated to all the versions of os and hardware, the downside of this is that it all seems to include a buggy version of batterystatus (or a buggy combination of the newest htchome with batterystatus) which cab cause a crash in some cases (ruiquiring a hard-reset)
i think shaps rom looks best with all his customation, too bad he doesnt also have a trinity
"It would be good if all versions of ROMs could be compared against one another over what they contain as well as stability or people recommending as it would help with questions such as this!"
yes the whole purpos of a wiki is people contrubuting to it
so go for it!

Thanx for the many replies. Looking at it, i will give bepe's ROM a go 1st. Would the process be the same as what i did for my Hermes? Update the SPL and just run the downloaded ROM? Or is it different?

As I noticed that Black no longer releasing new build (becuase the official is out) I started thinking - maybe I should go for the official...
Till now I tried SCHAPS 3.57/3.54 and D-Lite. How is the official compared to these two in terms of speed and stability? What does it come with (HTC home, what dialer, etc).
Thanks
OK, the answers to your questions can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=355
If the oficial roms where fast and stable we wouldn't need cooked roms would we?
Official roms are like a new major brand windows pc...they come with so much "bloatware" that you will never need. So cooked roms are custom roms built so you don't have to deal with that crap with extras. Some are "lite" editions which basicly means no extras, just the rom itself.. others throw in some very good useful apps that are widely used.
So i'd suggest not to go official.
I prefer lites because i install what i want, and almost everything can be found in a cab file somewhere in this forum.
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?

I provide links to many Hermes WM6 ROMs in my Benchmark thread. Link is in my signature.
is the official wm6 the stablest than others cooked rom ???
No, quite the opposite. In most cases you will find that cooked roms included fix's / tweaks that improve the reliability of the official rom.
And which rom is the stablest ???
stability issues normally occur when you start to install 3rd party applications. I recommend you try a few out, customize them and then see which ones you find stable. Obviously the more recent the rom, the more stable they are likely to be due to them including the latest patches etc.
for stability I like vp3g rom
Nobody can actually tell you which is the best because it`s all depends on individual device taste, performance, radio and app preference. So, you need to start reading the cooks threads, do some testing and decide which one works best for your device.
No doubt here.
I have installed nearly all cooked roms, and as conclusion ...
One fail here the other fail there.
Now I'm on last K's rom. For me the most stable and reliable.
More than two month without flashing...
Roms are like flawours, but if you want to flash and rest for a while, for sure K's is the best choice.
Regards
for my choise there are 2 roms:
1) K's Rom WM6.0 Final (I'm using the lite version for 2 months now)
2) Olio's Rom 3.54, also lite
both are smooth, small and really fast
vp3g all way. PLEASE COME BACK!!!
K's Rom for me is the best one. Tried TNT WM 6.1, It is a good rom, but 6.1 has its bugs, which I haven't been used to for months so I went back to K's. vp3g's is a awesome rom also.
Like TNT SE myself.... Dont forget to sim/cid unlock your phone before you Hard SPL it though, could cause problems otherwise.
Which is best wm 6 (official) wm.6.1 or wm6.5?

Firstly, I can't suggest anything that lynxxx hasn't already said, in the thread linked to this one.
Secondly, "what's the best ROM" is very subjective - we all have different opinions of what we consider "the best".
Ask yourself: what balance do you need between speed, stability, ease of user interface, "look & feel", functionality, battery-life.
You don't say which OS and device you're using at the moment. If it's any help, here's what I did to my WM5-running Hermes100:
1) SuperCID and SIM-unlocked
2) Installed HardSPL
3) Installed "OEM" AT&T ROM
4) Tried out a variety of WM6.5 custom ROMs (I used "lite" / "ultralite" versions where available).
With the WM6.5 ROMs, I liked the improved battery-life and the look & feel; but - I stress, for my needs - I found them too unstable and too slow.
I regressed to a WM6.1 custom ROM; with Home2Pro gui and custom theme.
My device is now perfect for my needs.
I was a noob at this, only a few months ago. The best way to find out what's right for you is simply to try a variety of ROMs - and, trust me, it's great fun and very addictive!
