I am a newbie here, just joint the community not too long ago. However noted that all the good cooks went missing? Previously, every month there be a number of new roms being released? However, lately not much of new roms being released? Where have all the good cook went? Will here be a 'ghost' town especially with the forthcoming Kaiser?
Just my 2 cents of opinion?

Oooh, you'll catch hell for that one...
I think with WM6 being released, it has taken the punch out of some of the cooks fun\obsession. Also there has been several good kitchens released that allow for just about anybody to cook their own rom just how they want it. Check out the Pandora thread it's great!
I hope they reappear for the Kaiser.

Pff...What the hell are you doing here on this forum, if you think most of us dont live a normal life, like we are all nerds or people with no life.. because most of us like to modify our phone..
Look in the miror, you will see the person with no life..
Bro Bram87,
Please don't start flamming over here.... just a discussion wil do. Everyone here loves their Hermes!
waiting for wm7...
The real reason is that the production WM6 release is very stable & fast
Some cooks are still here... We still have some Betas... That means LIFE
Err i think the cooks are here, its just all the roms out there dont really need any improvement now?
if you try a few of the latest ones, you will see you'll have very little rom related issues, so no need, to cook, and improve the roms!
fil,
Yes I do agree, the current batch of roms are very stable and fast. But however, I do find that a cook is always a cook, whereby the perfection will never take place, always challenging till the end!
my 2 cents of opinion...

Pardon me?
I'll agree with the others... it's getting pretty difficult to improve on the Hermes ROM at this point. Working on it, though.
Aside from the facts that there are some excellent chefs still in the hermes kitchen, that the roms are probably near completition for WM6 etc - I think what drove a lot of the cooks away was a combination of the constant flaming that seems to go on in the Hermes forums - I typically find most of it pretty funny but reading through some of the other forums I am always surprised how there is nowhere near as much flaming going on. That and I think they got sick of people complaining there rom broke this or that when it was something stupid the person did and didn't follow the instructions or do a simple search for the solution. I could easily see how that could put somebody off of releasing to the public something they worked so hard to make.
Regardless of all that, there are some great chefs about - VP3g, Schapps, Duttythroy, Dutty (I think still puts out roms), JasJamming (though he doesn't realse them here any more - somebody usually post a link when he does). If I forgot to mention you or butchered the spelling of your name - sorry - not intentional
I think the cooks on here are doing an excellent job! the problem is Microsoft now is starting to do some sh** right and making a fast rom for our phone. I've tried every rom on xda that I could find at least once to test them. It's just getting harder for the cooks to cook better roms when they are working with the software that is released and taking their time to help us.
Just remember its like the military the stuff they've have for 10 years is just new to citizens. its kinda similar with wm6 just give em time and until then enjoy the awesome roms that we have!!!!
.... or you could build your own if your that risky.
Hi,
I think tom and meschle should join forces, making a fast, well performing (meschle) rom with good applications with an awesome GUI (tom).
Tom's roms always have amazing bootscreens, themes, and an overall very nice GUI, whilst they lack performance.
Meschle's roms always perform well and are very fast, but they lack the visual aattractiveness as Tom's roms.
Therefore, combining the two would produce an all rounded super rom!
What do you all think?
you can do it, you re the man!
no not me, meschle and tom!
Agreed. But there would still have to be some compromises made as rom can't be 100% as beautiful as Tom's and 100% fast as Meschle's.
Whats wrong with the new Vanilla ? It is just perfect...
Just install HtcHome or what you prefer for your design change bootscreen if you like.
Can it be better ? I guess not
can't find the keyboard icon and skin as in B&B
I don't qgree with you uzzy.
First of all, they are not the only coockers.
More, everybody has its own style: you mention the main difference between these two one but the purpose is to have everybody having its onw "touch" in roms.
Even if it is WM, the coockers are not MS

I agree with you this sener.
I think it would be a lot more effective if we filles the wiki with so much useful information that everybody could cook his own ROMs. The only thing we might need is a kitchen with a better gui. I used both of their ROMs and like both for the stated reasons. Since I couldn't decide which to use I cooked my own ROM.
You'll have to spend about 50 hours of reasearch to be able to create your own version if you are a beginner, with a little help and a lot of computer experience you can handle it in 2 hours or less.
Fast and super stylish won't work, compare XP and Vista!

If you don't like it you don't have to use it, but why deny other people the opportunity to experience something new?
Just because you don't like the idea, doesn't mean you have use your first post ever to stop tom and meschle making a rom together......its their choice, not yours.
And also, where did i say they are the only cookers? - I didn't, so why say "First of all, they are not the only coockers". This fact is totally irrelevant.
I mentioned Tom and Meschle because they are the BEST cookers for Artemis (Not the only ones).
Oh and btw, learn to spell.
Well, they are the best cookers in this forum that publish their work. I'm pretty sure there are guys (or girls?) out there that laugh about the beginner mistakes people are making here.
I'm not saying that I'm better than any other cooker out there, but I never published any ROM for legal reasons and because I don't want 1000 questions/answers for each ROM I produce. No thanx, don't got the time.

I agree on this one!!
If somebody could provide a good kitchen with a better GIU, I would be able to learn to cook myself.
Now I just don't know how to start... you need to read/combine several threads to be able to get the info you need to start to learn...
If just some of those master cookers, can make a decent guide for us, we'll be able to do it ourselfs...
Hopefully one day somebody would do this guide and kitchen with a better gui, cause I really hope I can learn to cook
Believe me, cooking is not very difficult, (in my opinion) the Artemis' Wiki is crap if you are a beginner and want to learn to cook. I recently found out how this works and was amazed how fast you can cook a ROM. I'm currently busy at University but next week my tests are over and I will start creating my tutorials with pictures and videos.
You need HyperCoreKitchen, OK Package Creator and a official ROM, that's it. As soons as you know how to do it you can create your own ROM in minutes. I'll make a big thread out of it, you won't miss it.
I don't want to offend those who have spent a lot of time creating tutorials and writing into the wiki (thanx for your work guys!), but there are almost no all-in-one tutorials. I read in the Kaiser, Hermes, Artemis and some other wikis and forums to get all the informations I needed. Basically if you read the Hermes Cookbook and use OK Package Creator instead of doing all the package stuff it states there then you know what to do.

Thanks mate, really looking forward to your superguide!!
Why is allmost every rom on this forum dumplocked?
Do people have something to hide, or is it something else?
Is it mayb that people don't want to share things anymore(the main part where xda thrives on)?
Do the chefs who learned from copying and examining others work have some kind of arrogance, somekind of thought that noone may copy their work?
I personally find this a crappy way of work here on xda.
Any other thoughts on this?

Try with my ROMs, nothing is locked.

This is thin ice you stepped on!
I am a retired Chef myself. I always protected my ROMs from being dumped. The main reason is that packages and tweaks mainly added through the rgus are the result of many many hours of research, countless flashes, testing and work.
Packages are all over the place, so are the cabs.
The majority of tweaks can be found anywhere.
But it's just unfair when a Chef collects everthing he needs for his kitchen throughout time and someone who is just beginning to cook dumps it, replaces a few packages and voila, a new ROM from a new Chef, as good as the old dumped ROM.
It's not about hiding, it's about somehow protecting endless hours of work that just don't pay back.
I know my ROMs were intended for my own use, but somehow decided to share them, I believe most Chefs around here pretty much do the same with their work, so it is a huge favor this sharing.

I also find it very strange.... the only reasoning I can think is people don´t want their working copied but hey I completely agree with you it´s a very strange way to work as, certainly for me, this forum has always been about sharing. Sharing knowledge, information, ideas, ROMs, creativity and most of all a passion for these devices... it´s a real shame.
Thankfully though, in my experience, most the experienced chefs here are very willing to help out to us aspiring new chefs with pointers and files we need to build a decent kitchen.
I cook for myself really but ended up releasing a few of my ROMs when I have a bit more time to support them but I must admit I´m not bothered about people re-cooking them if they want. I´m just happy that the peolpe here get the most out of their Diamond.

Allright i can live with that, BUT, what are we doing right here?
Microsoft and HTC engineers also spend many hours on their precious work, pushing the limits of WM. If we all must respect hard work, then we should not dump roms of those guys either.
I feel strongly that this is an open community an that requires that everything is open, i've cooked many roms but never thought about protecting it.
I'ts MY hobby, and if i want to implement(find) tweaks and enhancements it's for MY satisfaction. I dont care if someone from here dumps my rom and steals all of MY found tweaks.
Let him learn about rom cooking by inspecting my rom, i dont give a ****, in this way the community gets stronger.
And by the way, if the chefs have nothing to hide and share their tweaks on the forum, why not open their roms?
Gr. bram
I'm not flaming that chefs, but i'm posting out my opinion about this.
I can totally get into the thought of those guys.

Sharing is one, stealilng and taking credit for someone else's work is another thing. And look at this beyond the Forum. Do you have any idea how many places host, discuss, etc. the ROMs made here? I don't want to get into details, but this is how it works. ROMs published are downloaded and posted on some other forums, where some other cooks try to do something with them. When they manage, they've got themselves a new ROM with upgoing rep and paypal ballance! You should really look into this. I know my ROMs were subject to such on some other forums.
But if this is still not enough for you, there is always an option to start learning how to cook, dump an Official ROM, port it (if it's the case), make a baserom, collect all your packages, collect and edit all your registries, skin till you drop, test for a week or so, build and release without protection.

Yes, maybe because dumping and cooking is grey field towards illegal. There's a really thin line between legal and illegal, but that's some other stuff I don't want to get into.

I have spent days, weeks and perhaps months (to scared to add it up!!) reading and learning how to cook so I can see your point. In fact I have also been through this very experience here where somebody has posted my work on another forum and yes it was annoying but I think what Bram was trying to point out that as time goes by things are becoming more and more "closed". Perhaps due to the number of users now?? I´m not sure but it´s a debate that will always be here

It's not user quantity, it's user quality. You can never stop a user to register and you can never check his/her intentions when joining. Private Messaging always works and I don't think anyone contacted for help ever refused on this Forum (I'm referring to Chefs). I've been helped by stranger fellow XDA Chefs and I helped stranger Chefs myself. But won't go for putting everything on a silver tray to some second hand B forum Chef.
As for XDA DEVELOPERS, here's a hint of what it is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45

This experience is very nasty, but you cant entirely stop it. Someone flash your rom, the dump it the "device way", he has an exact copy of it.
Thats in a way true how i feel, i have a feeling lately that this forum is becoming closed, everyone keeping stuff for their selves. Wich in a way i can understand that(all the hard work etc.) but then the "openness" of this forum is slightly dripping away.
In my time in the wizard forums there was no such thing, every cook tried to help the other out. If a tweak(or something else new) was found, they posted it right away. Or cooked it into rom, and encoraged others to take it from them.
Lately in the diamond furoms i have the feeling some people don't want to share anymore, just the credit of a great rom.
Wich they have to know and do theirselves, but i'm against such a way of work here.

Great post by kyphur.... and I agree. As I posted above I have been helped by many great chefs here since I start with my Hermes, then with my Kaiser and Polaris and now here on Diamond and most of it has been done by PM. As for giving everything on a silver tray... well I think it´s a personal choice and I personally don´t think to much about it when I have posted my ROMs but hey maybe I have a different take on things
All I know is I am personally very very gratefull to many people who contribute to this forum and I have mentioned most of them in the past when posting my ROMs but as I said before this debate will always run.....
Chefs do it mainly to protect there investment in time. They have no reason to give you the ROMs, so why should you complain when they do things?
I personally do not do anything to protect my ROM, other than grouping files under one dsm to save space - the overheads for DSM files are quite big - rather than to stop people dumping the ROMs.
Why should we as chefs give you anything?

I dont say they haven got the right close roms, I just dont feel like that, and wanted to know if there are some others who think the same.
For me this is an open forum so all what i do is open, if other decide otherwise, let that be, i dont mind.
My point is that i feel that the forum is getting more to a closed forum rather that coming together, and just wanted to know if i was the only one.
Mayb is misformed my statement in the first post.
If this thread is non constructive, please close and/or delete it.
gr. bram
ps. i dont intend to flame anyone, i respect everyones work & decisions!
Protection of investment of time is a good reason.
Another good reason to protect ROMs is:
Stop the wild-groth of ROM-releases.
Every wanabee chef nowadays uses a simple kitchen, trows in a already cooked ROM.
Changes a few packages and a splashscreen, and trows it on the forum as something new.
I don't call that cooking, that is trowing something into the microwave (after putting ketchup on it)!
Also removing all RGU's and replacing DSM files by a single one does improve the device!.
Your personal tweaks aren't directly visible (like it would in a rgu).
Your own privatly build packages are more difficult to steal/recycle by a third party.

Exactly my thoughts!
I'm not part of the Diamond community... yet... but I'd like to give opinion on the subject.
I've been cooking for a while for trinity users, and as many chefs here, I've spent countless hours analyzing official ROMs, and even other chefs ROMs, reading, searching, testing, to better understand the whole cooking process, to improve myself.
Along the way I've had many questions, problems, and so on, and so on... Mainly I was fortunate enough to have had a great teacher and friend, and also the basis to build my work on.
This happened in a time when it all was a passion, when it was about making the ROMs better(not just customize them but also to improve them in performance and/or stability), but now?... Well, now it's more about having the best ROM, with more downloads... and ultimately more donations...
I have nothing against chefs, or developers, or whatever, being rewarded for their work, hell, I have a paypal link too(even though I don't really advertise it, it just sits there on my signature)!!
I guess the trigger for all this, was some chefs, making other chefs work their own without asking in the first place. If this really was sharing community, why not ask, instead of "stealing"? In the end it becomes a sort of a cooker's war, to see which one has the best security methods implemented on their ROM, and which one can get through that same security, so they can take instead of asking once again...
As l3v5y said, I also remove the RGUs and patch the DSM into one, for performance purposes, as colateral I get some protection against ROM package rebuilding, but I can only go so far. I have no programing skills whatsoever, so I couldn't protect my ROMs further, even if I wanted!!
I tottaly agree that with the growth in the number of members, comes a growth in new chefs, or chef wannabies, and if all is given away that easily, the forums will end up flooded with new ROMs. But on the other hand, I'm in favor of sharing. I'm just sad this is getting to a point where it get harder and harder to get some things that used to be available to everyone....
I could go on, but this is getting rather long... Sorry everyone!
Hi Everyone,
Can you kindly share your opinions about the best WM 6.1 ROM out there please ? Is there a 6.1 cooked ROM which comes close to the ROMS Schapps produced ? Personally I would prefer a stable , fast and bug free ROM rather than a glossy one with a plethora of 3rd party applications.
I have tried the Starbase S64 Manilla 2d rom but after a few hours of usage realise that it is not one I could keep for long due to problems with stability , speed and memory usage and several language bugs (German instead of English in Calendar, Maps etc)
Cheers !
the only way
To come up with an opinion is trying every single one, and decide what fits your needs.
We have benchmarks that has been done by Veyka on the sticky. And I have come up with two of my favourites on my signature, until you have flashed every single one (and I may add a good flash takes time) you won't be able to come up with any opinion at all!
Edit also there is an FAQ thread on the sticky.
Cheers and happy flashing!
Flash flash flash and compare, There's not much else to say.
We all do different things with our phone, I like CRC's, other people like PDAcorners, the almostnaked and anryl roms are good as well!
There all good! Just aim for a lite rom if your looking for something empty.
Also dont forget to flash a shipped rom if your going between Bigstorage roms.
please state your favourite
Hi,
If you have tried a few 6.1 ROMS please simply state your favourite. Or if you are just happy with any particular ROM share its identity with us. An exhaustive comparison is not necessary

the exhaustive comparison has been done right here.
Zocster is right, I have flashed many of the roms on this great site and the ones in his signature are top notch. although I really like MRH 8.4 sun shower as well due to its design and fit and finish. every rom is good though and I find it thoroughly enjoyable to test them out.

The newer chefs are as good as the pros in many respects!
Almost naked or Starbase64's new roms have TF2D in them! (Just as easy to cab install though)
Loaded roms are slower.
Bigstorage roms are faster but need more care.
quick question
I havent tried Anyrl roms yet because they are czech only, is this correct?

Nope, there not, his kitchen is WEE, and as is his older roms.
I tested them all, they where very good!
Hes just currently actively working on the Czech roms thats all.

Zocster is right, I have flashed many of the roms on this great site and the ones in his signature are top notch. although I really like MRH 8.4 sun shower as well due to its design and fit and finish. every rom is good though and I find it thoroughly enjoyable to test them out.

Hi all!,
I've been trying to avoid posting a thread like this for an age, so my apologies first and fore most!
I've been using Schap's WM6 pro 4.20 ROM since release. I LOVE the stability of it; where as other ROMS I've tried needed a hard reset after about a month Schap's is like the energiser bunny, it just keeps going and going and going and going...
Do you guys in your infinite wisdom know of any ROMs that can compete with 4.20? I'm not particularly bothered with bells and whistles as these can be installed later.
Thanks for your help and sorry again!

i always had luck with crc's stuff.
well .... what works for some may not work for others so the only way unfortunately is to try, and you have come to the right place! Try each one DVH, Josh, Abusalza, CRCinAU all great chefs, you need to work out what works for you unfortunately.
As I said many times, we don't know what you do behind closed doors with your hermes, and even outdoors for that matter!

CRC's stuff rocks. I personally switched to JoshKoss v10. All the chefs here work their a$$es off to make them as stable as possible, but I love these chefs ROMS.

That's why I sent my apologies in advance.
I REALLY cut down on time spent on this board after schaps started his hiatus. I used to flash ROMs regularly, weekly almost, I just lost touch with things. I know that a choice of ROM is very much an individual thing so thanks for the heads up on the newer chefs out there.

Cheers man! I'll give these suggestions a try.
One more question. If a rom is only available as a Windoze .exe file, what is the best way to slay the .exe to extract the internals so I can flash from my heratical Linux box. Saying use Windoze is not much help as I've already been consumed by the dark art of Linus Torvalds and don't have an M$ box!
Cheers, Dave

Just make sure your phone is super cid unlocked, and put the RUU_signed.nbh file on an sd card and rename it hermimg.nbh.
Here are all the details,

Flash from SD: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing
As for busting open a rom in exe form I'm not sure, especially on linux. If your wanting to do that with the shipped rom, there is one floating around already called AT&T striped.
Hope that helps
