I got headache to choose, to keep my rom up to date!I'm still using custel 2.5. A lot of newer roms nowadays. Very positive growth.... Custel 2.5, Elf 2.1, Faria, Black 3.5 With Live Removed and Extra Storage, Black Dymond, vp3G's, LVSW, dutty's v2. and so many . Give me advice please.
Well duh, mine of course!
Seriously though, one of the best things about this place is so many ROMs to choose from. Each has it's merits (and it's quirks!). Just pick one, try it on and see how it fits you.
P.S. You missed one flavor in your list. Sleuth255 has put together a very nice LVSW variant as well. When in doubt, check the WIKI. I just updated it today, in fact.
Last weeks I installed almost all of them and (non-scientifically!) benchmarked their performance... See my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1284362&postcount=15
My conclusion: they all are stabile and have more or less the same performance (I think because they have more or less the same core.... sorry chiefs).
The one you could pick is the one with the extra's and addons you want...
My personal experience: LVSW Sleuth edition is very good!
At the moment I'm trying Faria..
i tried every rom (including black dymond). when it comes to stability, nothing compares to lvsw and the derivates. i use elf 2.1. nice combination of features, working bt, fast and STABLE.
what i dont need is a pimp machine with soft reset every two hours...

I think mine is the best.. Actually, mine is unique in how it's built. I did cook some minor (and vital) things into the rom itself, but most is added via. ExtRom customization with all cab's modified to allow removal So, if you want Live, it's there. If you don't, just remove it. etc.. It's a different way to cook, and one that requires a whole lot of CAB modification.
My Live cab is different than any other cab on this site. I hand modified it to install in the way I wanted, and work the way I wanted. Personally, I think it's the best cab around -- and exclusively for Elf 2.1.
thank you. Very good benchmarking and very hard work! I'll try LVSW Sleuth edition.
I have used Elf 1.0 . It is very nice and marvelous build. But I got problem with battery charging. Then I tried black dymond and faria yesterday. But I have to go back to CUSTEL, because I feel more stable and more memory. Just now I tried Black 3.5 With Live Removed and Extra Storage and now I test Elf 2.1.

I like my ROM.
CUSTEL still won Program and memory space. Faria, LVSW Sleuth edition and Elf 2.1 won the speed. LSLW based won the most stable. Which one do you prefer most? Do you agree with this conclusion?
Elf V2.1 works for me
I haven't tried all so I can't compare. Indeed I have only flashed my JASJAM yesterday for the first time with Elf V2.1. So far it has been working great for me. For those who has been hesitating to take the plunge, I would say read the WIKI. Make sure you know what you are doing. Then do it. I did that and I am a happy man. And I am sure many of these ROMs are all great. We (and MS) are lucky to have this great community to support this WM platform.
Cheers.
I agree with you. Their hard works are very great. Everybody in this forum and out there can't deny this.
LVSW 19-05-2007 Sleuth edition and Elf2.1 are very nice to try. So I test Elf 2.1 first. Sleuth still on downloading... rapidshare got a little bit slow.
cool topic
What a great thread to read peoples summary experiences. This kind of thread would have been previously scoffed at with ' go read for yourself ' replies by some that have left this forum except to throw the odd spot remark.
I am currently using FARIA after trying some of the Black and LVSW variants. I like FARIA a lot because of the addin utils, and am not concerned about only 20Mb free after boot. I make calls and use TomTom, not much more.
The MAJOR thing that I like about FARIA is that now my car charger works, whereas all the other ROMs didn't allow the car charger to work - go figure!
Thanks to all the contributors and chefs who hold true and know when to reply and when to ignore some of the less experienced users questions. Its about COMMUNITY, not superiority. Thanks, and may your sheep be blessed with a thousand lambs.
I like FARIA especially on startup, date/time finishing and speed. But it's addons take much memory so I have to reset so many times especially after using MAPKING and WIFI. I'll like FARIA if it a lite version with an option addons.
different roms
would the tytn rom work on our phone i know the imate somewhat works
No it will not, and dont try it ok... cause you can brick your phone...
ROM Advice
Hey All!
I haven't been following the rom scene lately and I don't wish to start a flame war on the topic.. I'm just interested in some general information on what different roms are available form my Dash. If there is an existing post, please direct me too it as I have been trolling but did not find anything terribly informative on the topic.
I've been experiencing weird issues on my 6.0 standard rom. ICScontrol not working, wm9 codecs not working and i figure its time to try something new..
I'm looking for features of the rom, a how-to on installing it (already familiar with flashing, no big woop.. just don't wanna brick it), and what roms are available for the s60.
Information is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Nick

let us know how ya like it. theres a lot to customize in rickys rom. im running version 12 and im just now getting it exactly the way i like it.
If you need anything for a restore, the Original ROMs are in my sig.
These are all, of course, 5.0 and 6.0 releases. Nothing interesting, just useful if you are stuck at the bootloader, need to restore for a warranty etc.

Hah, i don't think i'll have to worry about my warranty any more.. I was impressed with the Dash for the following reason..
A few months ago I was visiting a friend, I pulled my phone out and set it on the arm of the chair I was sitting in. My friend asked me to hand him something within my reach, when I reached for it I knocked my phone off the chair... Directly into a BUCKET OF WATER!!!! As I watched my phone sink to the bottom I thought "WHO KEEPS A BUCKET OF WATER NEXT TO THEIR CHAIR?!?!?!?"..
The phone remained on even after I pulled it out.. I quickly yanked the battery out and patted it dry. I let it sit for a few hours and also put it over the heater vent in the car.
Surprisingly, it survived! No weird behavior, no power issues (other then my now swollen battery).. The phone survived! Holly crap!
So needless to say, I am impressed by this durability of this phone..
IT WORKED!
Wooha! It worked.. Just gettin into all the features.. But I love it so far!!!
Thanks for all the help, add this to another success story!
WM6 to WM6.1 - What are the Pros & Cons?
Hello,
I'm a long time member but just haven't had the time to come on here. Some of you might remember me from before. I haven't had the chance to upgrade from WM6 to WM6.1 - Can someone please be kind enough to list the pros & cons? Also, are all applications compatible from before and finally, how's the ROM speed and reception?
Thanks in advance
In my opinion the biggest pro would be the sliding panels theme. I can't think of any cons, but I'm sure some crybaby will. lol
Pros: What Organic said. New PIe that sucks 20% less. Threaded messaging is smart. Tons of well cooked ROMs that exploit it.
Cons: You can't get it in an official ROM from your vendor, so you will have to look up the settings for Internet, MMS and follow the instructions when doing the first cold boot. OMG.
just install it. no if, and, or buts about it.
well, some crybaby did say that the radio isnt better, but worse. only 1 crybaby though. IMO i think its better, but i never tested. i would say its not better or worse.
on the bright side, its faster, more solid, more and better apps, more memory....umm better battery life? i cant confirm this tho. i have ricky's rom v17 i think and im happy with it. i can tell u its waaaaaaaayyy better then WM6.
One more in favor Just installed last night ricki´s rom v20a. Just awesome. Didn´t find a glitch yet. Very complete set of applications... i only miss a rss reader but there´s plenty of them out there. At least this version as a connection wizard so i didn´t had to look for mms, etc, settings in the net.
So far i only think it has less programs memory available after a reboot. In my case a little more than 17mg. With WM6 i had about 19mg. Not a big thing...
In the end, is too good to let it slide...
If I wanted to update my HTC 620 to WM6.1 where would I get the firmware to do it. I am new to this but would like the options of sliding screens etc. any help would be gratefully accepted.
first thing you should do is read one of the many many many many threads about your very question.

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to upgrade to Hermes (Imate JasJam). But, can someone please confirm the functions and their experience with Hermes. I mean to say can someone tell me how is the camera, sound quality, is there windows 6.1 available for it and similarly more things.
Thank you.

Dude, you also own Hermes. How is your experience is with it.
If i give you a choice between N95 and Imate JasJam. Which one will you select?
for me it's the best device to load many apps, rom flashes (wm6.1 runs great), media, scalability, travel, UI, etc.
good luck

Most of the time battery life depends on type of ROM you use and how much you use it. Some ***** about it, some live with it. Hermes is a mid level phone, if you want more juice out of your phone then go for kaiser!
Or get a bigger battery... I can sooo see someone lugging around their hermes attached to a car battery one day......

MATE, ARE U Serious???
There is a wealth of information on this phone on the XDA site. Use the search function is a great place to start.
I will however play nice
In my experience the Hermes model is a great phone. Note the amount of development still happening in this forum. Not many other phones of this age still command such attention. It has an abundance of connectivity options. The battery life depends on how much you use it as with any device. The Hermes wiki contains the specs of the beast. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes.

I mean to say if you use daily 3 hours Wi-fi and always connected to the 3G Internet service then how long the estimated the battery live. I tried before Nokia N95 and it's battery only last for 2-6 hours in the above stated operations. I am already using PDA2K and happy that it is best phone ever made. but it lacks 3G, HSDPA, and lots more...

Hello, I already read the Wiki but as i stated sometimes real experience is required then reading the wiki. I upgrade my phone every 12 month. But, i don't want to get stuck in something and then looking after to someone who buy it from me. That's why some research and real experience is better then getting stuck.
Thanks for your response.
hmm
My next phone after learning windows mobile would have to be the htc touch pro. As I still like the keyboard function.
As previous posters are saying do your research. Get parallel imported phone from a reputable online seller on ebay or where ever you are.
Hey guys
Was just wondering if it was possible to find a Touch Flo ROM for a TyTN?
Saw the new Touch last night, think the interface is very interesting, would like to try it out

If you had searched you would have found ...... this quite accessible ... the only ROM that comes with one is .... this ...
But I think you need to do a fair bit more reading and searching before you go ahead and flashing stuff if you think touchflo is a ROM
Hehehe, thanks alot Zocster...Believe it or not, i did actually search and ive been reading alot of posts! Im not 1 of those forum idiots who randomly posts messages without reading anything...
However, i am TOTALLY new to this world! I decided to ditch the trusty old cell phone and move to a pocket pc/pda phone whatever you wanna call it I have decided on a TyTN and am now getting into the world of cooked ROMs and all the stuff you guys know all about

I seeI have an imate jasjam, so yeah you have a front camera I presume you would want to make video calls too then, so may be that ROM i mentioned not for you as it doesn't have video calling dial pad cooked in.
To be brutally honest, Ive had a Sony Ericsson K800i for a year and a half now and have NEVER used the video calling feature Our networks are rather unstable and its expensive, so why bother Im just looking for a fast, reliable ROM

Sorry mate, honestly, ... trying it yourself is the only way you can judge, read the wiki, and try out different roms, as i said what is good for me may not be good for you. So go try them all out and make up your mind from experience. I have had my phone for two months and I have been through honestly about 20 or so roms before i made up my mind, each chefs have got their own style and yeah you need to determine what style suits you.
Thanks alot, will definitely do so
One more question...In my research on the P4350 which uses the 200mhz OMAP cpu, i read that there is an app to overclock (and declock) the device, does the TyTN have a similar app??

If you want to keep your device for another couple of years, then no, it is not recommended. it is doable, but it would not be doing your device any favour.
Well since the reviews i read all said the TyTN is powerful enough, im actually more interested in declocking the device when i dont need the power, to save battery life

hmm, you need to try the roms available, and once you get applications such as BT GPS, BT Stereo, MP3 etc going, plus the touchflo extension you mentioned, it ain't all that powerful.
These chefs have done their best to make the most out of a device that is 2 years old. so ... yeah it isn't that powerful, but yes you will determine that when you have run a couple of things on the hermes have fun, ...
Starbase has the cab on his 4shared site. I have had it before, but find it useless, the touchflo that schaps has is better for finger scrolling and quick landscape mode switches however.
Good to see more South Africans here. (From South Africa myself). As Zocster said, just try the roms out. Been flashing my TyTN at least once a week. Just remember to Hard-SPL first.

Glad someone remembered.....
lol thanks guys!!!
Been reading the guides and the wikis, will definitely hardSPL first
first of all make hardspl ! it is the first thing you need to flash into your tytn....what you meen about -toch flo- ? many component may be instaled on any rom. personaly I use 3ppc.net russian 6.1 rom, whith htc home today plugin (one part of tochflo) included. for finger scroling I use ftochFlo, cube not use at all - personaly I found it useless....(anyway - there are some custom cube on 'hacking and developing' section of developers, as for me it much better than original.)
about overclock. sumsung procesors (which use tytn) is wery bad in frequency control. looks like time generator somehow connected whith main frequency - when you changing it, a lot of bugs appear....for example - if you overclocked cpu, you will notice that music/video/e.t.c. will run more fast that it needed. no need to worry about cpu power consumtion - it low anyway for samsung cpu. much more buttary will eat 3g, wifi, backlight e.t.c.
Hello,
Sadly after reading last FinixOver post, I realized, that there are no more WWE Rom cookers for the Trinity.
-Akeo broke device and went to Diamond.
-Tnyynt also changed to Diamond.
-Finixover I think is aso on the way to Diamond.
-eliasweb long time no update
-karmba_a also bought diamond
Our only options right now are PDAViet, which personally I don't like.
Maybe there's someone out there willing to start cooking??
Or should we all move to diamond's aswell
best regards to all.
This is shocking news! but i can understand why, the dimond seems brilliant, i had my 1st look the other day and it has amazing features like the G sensor, wow and the graphics.
I wish all the old cookers the best of luck with the Dimond because they have all done an AMAZING job with the trinnity and I am very thankful for all their hard work and time.
Bring on the next generation cookers!
I'm trying to cook but it's a litle diferant of my Roms on Prophet hihi.
i'm studyng the manuals of cooking on a Trinity because i've changed recently from Prophet

Good luck on Trintiy cooking. I'm sure that you will master it, I used a few of your Prophet roms and really liked them.
Welcome.
For those of you who think about purchasing a Touch Diamond I would like to tell you two things.
-Battery life sucks,if you thought the battery in your trinity doesn´t last.....get ready to charge your diamond almost everyday or day and a half.
-Poor/Low signal.
Been using the Trinity for the last year and half. Very happy with the features.
Now time to move on, will not choose Diamond. This time need one with QWERT keyboard as quite often need to write/reply email on the go.
Hey, what you guys thinks of Touch Pro??? Any good in terms of battery life, speed, GPS reception?

i'm reading reading reading reading, before start
HI,
I use Diamond from one month and I can say that:
1. Signal is very good (I use oryginal radio 1.25.05),
2. Battery is really weak. Max two days keeps without charging,
3. looks excellent, very small compare to trynity,
4. better lcd etc.
So bros may time to change your mobiles?
I used trynity almost one year and and I thing that is very good mobile.

it would be nice to come up with a rom like this one you made here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382434 for trinity
my opinion
I would cook if I had a device but I havn't been able to find a cheep second hand trinity yet.
I made a try that did boot but havn't gotten back to give it an other try.
All i can say is that i will miss all these developers and can't thank them enough for all the hard work they have done for us...all of you.
One other thing....MAXNIPER WHEN DO U START COOKING DUDE???
just saw your Prophet Rom and i am just waiting for your first release to flash my trinity...Nice work on the Prophet and hope you do the same here...
Before my companion with Trinity for one year, I used Palm Treo 650 for one year.
I like Treo 650's operating speed and qwerty keyboard to write sms and email. But WM OS has so many up-to-date software to use, so I changed to Trinity, considering its basic WM function and GPS.
Now, if no one continue to cook Trinity roms, I really don't know which mobile I should change to. I don't think Diamond has any significant innovative function, except its shell.
I appreciate all the great works of rom cookers, especially FInixNOver coz I am using it now. I am satisfied with Trinity till now.
