Which ROM is right for me?

Can anyone tell me where I can find a description of which ROM I should use when upgrading an unlocked 8525 from WM5 to WM6? Is there a website that shows the diffence/features between all of these? Thanks...
Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 2.5
Dutty's Windows Mobile 6 Premium v2
LVSW Windows Mobile 6
WM6 Cooked ROM - 3DES.3
Custel Windows Mobile 6
WM6 CCS WWE Asia Edition (CHS/CHT/JPN)
Dopod WM6 Test ROM
Window Mobile 6 Vanilla
Should I use the Cingular version if i'm using the unlocked 8525 on T-mobile USA or the TM UK version?

Just look at the threads for the respective ROMs and decide for yourself. Those threads list the major features. We can't tell what's best for you. If you want the latest and greatest, go with the new LVSW ROM or Black 3.0 which should be out within a day or so. Since you have T-Mobile USA, use the generic versions (not Cingular, not TMo UK) and make sure to install the 8525 keyboard fix CAB.

What is the newest ver. of windows live messenger.
I only find the old ver. havnt a new ver. of this software.
anyone can help?
Thanks so much

If you search in the forum, you'll find a cab for 10.6.0042.1900, which is the newest one available in cab form.
There is a new version being used in some ROMs (see Dutty's Touch HD 1.7 ROM for example), but no cab yet. Other people have asked for a cab for this newest version, but none yet.

WM6.5 really slow on P3300 M650 / when ROM base on official version ?

Hi,
Going through the forum, I understand that P3300 / M650 could get quite slow after being upgrade to WM 6.5 (compare to WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 for example).
=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
Moreover, I just read that Microsoft has officially launched today the official WM 6.5 version.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
Last point, how fast and stable is GPS on WM6.5 (using Tom Tom 7), since I am experiencing problem with my actual ROM WM6 Black & Blue 4.3 (have to "soft-reset" my HTC each time before to launch Tom Tom 7, otherwise is losing satellites after a few seconds...).
Thks a lot, Fred

=> Is it still true with the last ROM released ?
The memory management with every new build that comes out seems to be better and better. So as compared to the first beta builds, the latest RTM builds are much zippier.
=> Can we expect that soon new modified ROM will be released based on official WM 6.5 and then expect big improvement (more stable and quicker ?)
There are many ROMS out there based on 'official' 6.5 builds. The phones that ship with 6.5 have builds from the COM2 branch which have the old interface, but we also have official builds of 6.5.1, which is a COM 4 branch, and which has GUI improvements.

....it was also my doubt: how is possible that there are already so many cooked wm6.5 roms, if microsoft released it officially only yesterday?
Which is the starting point for this roms?
Some wm6.5 rom for developers?
Finally, one question directly for randythered:
I read on your sign that you "participate" to the project wm6.5 base...what is it?
And also that you include in your roms
RtR Base Version1
RtR Base Version 2
RtR Manila v1.0
RtR WM 6.5 Base v2.0 (Build 23052)
Which are the differences and which you would suggest to a "newbie" that is still running the official HTC wm6 rom?
Thank you in advance!
PS: I've seen also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567864
that increase my confusion
Please help me!
Thanks!!

The builds that have been coming out have been leaked out by trusted sources. Check out Development & Hacking forum.
Project 6.5 Base is what I was working on, the ROM is ready so I have to change my sig now
All those are the ROMs that I have cooked. RtR Base V2 is WM 6.1 Clean ROM, with minimal add on apps.
RtR Manilla 1.0 is a M2D ROM, similar to the HTC Touch Viva.
RtR 6.5 Base is a clean 6.5 ROM, with the latest build of 6.5 and very few add on apps for faster ROM.
The ArteMEGA is the latest ROM i've cooked, it's got software from the recently launched HTC MEGA.
If you want to flash a new ROM you have to unlock your phone first by flashing USPL. Then you can flash any ROM of your choice!

So, just to summariza, I should install:
1) RtR Manilla 1.0 if my first wish is to have the Manila (diamond style) user interface
2) RtR 6.5 Base is I don't care about HTC propetary interface, and I want the last microsoft wm with its features...light and stable since is a base.
3) ArteMEGA if I want the last microsoft wm as well as the last HTC user interface and I don't care toom uch about speed...
IT is correct?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, that is indeed correct.
I was just going to reply with a "Yep. " but xda thinks that's too short

come on randythered...i am still waiting
greetz

Hahaha I have to admit 31 MB program memory is WOW!
Don't know if I'll be able to manage that, but I'll definitely give it a go

Thanks for your answers !
Just to know, does the release number "23060" for the ROM W 6.5 base is a good way to know if it's clean/last version ?
Do you have a W6.5 ROM with French language support to recommand (clean / stable / speedy !) ?
Rgds, Fred

All builds are the same, it's the cooks job to make it as speedy as possible. As far as I know, the 23060 and 23420 builds have some issues with the dialog buttons, but these have been adressed. Read the latest builds thread for more info.

Manilla 2.5/2.6

Can someone please post a guide to installing TouchFLO 3D 2.5 or 2.6 on a "clean" rom I have Miri's standard 28011 rom and have customized alot in 4 days and do not want to reinstall just to play with TouchFLO 3D. is there a cab or files to copy to do it, or is there a way to dump my current rom 100% and restore it later.

help us, please!

AFAIK nobody has gotten this working for the HD and generally if you want manila you need to flash to a rom with manila cooked in. (I believe it is possible, but as I say I haven't seen it for the HD).
You can use an app like Sprite Backup to do a complete backup of your rom and all settings and if you do want to return to your old rom, just flash back and restore the backup and all is back to as it was.

Thanks for your answer.
I don't know exactly what was FireSokar searching for.
New roms with wm 6.5 are too slow to use HD in daily jobs.
So I must return to an old wm 6.1 ita rom ...
Now I'd like to install ONLY last version of manila to have new tools in the home screen (weather, progs and so on).
I don't need wm 6.5 and htc messaging, new notifications, tweet, footprints and beautiful but slooooow phone and turbo battery shutdown.
I need only an ITA fast phone and longlife battery.
Can you help me?
I need

Sense 2.5 is tied into many of the updates MS put into WM 6.5 - I don't think it can work on WM 6.1, and I haven't seen any 6.1/2.5 roms.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but that was based on the old 2.5 I think, I'll check if I can find it.
Can't find any specific info on it, but here's a rapidshare link to the last version: http://rapidshare.com/files/284376302/Miri_WM61_21054_Manila_2.5_V3.0.rar
PS It is a very old version of 2.5 and you may have trouble getting much of it to work.

here is miri 6.1 with manila2.5
