Develop Bugs

Advice On Rom Please

Hi guys im currently using the Athena @ the moment and no much choice in ROMS ive just upgraded the contract for my misses and got a o2 xda orbit will be running with Vodaphone Sim and a 1GB mico SD its a great phone and theres an amazing amount of ROMS on here she isnt as technically minded as me and i want a Rom thats Cool, functional and with a simple interface she's by no means stupid as uses mine every now and then but dont want a Rom thats buggy etc Any one advise a good simple stable Rom to use I Know its a personal choice but i would appreciate some advice... Thanks Guys

It's all a matter of preference as they are all good, except the official O2 ROM. Meschle's look the nicest and have some really good toys especially his new Vanilla (with cherry) release, but I personally prefer Tom Codon's Black and Blue series.
I'd would wait for his 4.2 release, but if you can't wait, then 4.0 is great. I tried 4.1, but the infamous 'storage card' bug did put me off a little. I try most of the ROM's, but I am getting counseling for this addiction.

thank you for the advice the touch and black and blue roms took my fancy so will probably try one of these... Thanks again

Mate having gone through pages on pages I can only see cherry referred to in POLL but it is closed, Please help
am I blind
or just mad

In this case 'cherry' means that Meschle took the original WM6 OEM rom, made by Microsoft and --instead of adding a lot of fancy and sophisticated progs-- just added the fresh versions of some really useful utilities (as he put it in the first post of the related thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332531 See the bullet points!)
So, it's a quite simple rom, but enhanced with his cherry picking amongst the wide variety of apps that make the usage of our Artemis easier and more effective.
At least I see this way... (I'm far from being an expert).

The official HTC Europe WM6 rom has just been released (see a lot of fresh thread abuot it).
So, if you are cautious (I am), I suggest you to flash your Orbit with this rom. It must be stable and more or less bug-free (but certainly there is no guarantee...)
And later you can switch to a cooked one, if you wish so.
But be aware: first you should run USPL! See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403

[10-07-2008]Thru with it

Sorry u guys,
i'll stop with cooking roms becouse i feel really upset about people whining about "why is this not in you rom" "why don't you have the newest version of *** in your rom" "Where are the sreens" "Whats the E.T.A. on this rom".
And some of these guys act like you owe them something, and if you don't expect to their needs they get aggressive.
I have better things to do in my free time then answering stupid questions
I'm thru with it and probably never coming back here.
I've had a brilliant time here, and i'd like to thank out these people who ARE/WERE very helpfull to me:
ababrekar
Re-Mi
Noonski
Bepe
Tom-codon
Pkoper
HavocNl
Zoki
and many many others that i forget to mention, but have really contributed to this community.
you are in my heart guys!
I've donated the Surface rom pantry to surface_rom, a "close friend" of mine, who had some training in rom cooking from me, lets hope hell make the best of it.

Guys / Girls / (Losers who try and stop others from using their work)
Here is a DUMP folder of the 1.39.****** ROM
Thanks goes out to the diamond project for trying ever so hard to prevent others from using their work as a base.
Have Fun!!
XIP will be uploaded next.

thanks for that, but I really am hanging out for Elite 2.5

Thanks Walshieau for the dump
Where did you get this from?
Oh, and yes I'd also like to say I'm hanging out for Elite 2.5 as well...

i ripped it off the Diamond Project Team. Seeing as they dont feel like sharing the original (which is ok, it will be released by HTC next month) so i thought id try and help the "community" out.

Hey Walshieau; thanks for the dump.. seeing as it comes directly from the Diamond Project Team ROM, does that mean that it also has missing TF3D animations? (i.e. as there were alot of transition effects/animations that were removed from the DPT ROM). Cheers.

Thanks
Thank walshieau, this will be useful for building my own PERSONAL rom which I've always done for years..... I did notice all the extra pieces of protection they had put in which to be honest is there choice and I can respect it in a way although protecting base rom's is something relatively new.
However the really sticking point with me is there's a whole thread on here about changing the graphics on the touchflo plug-in which no one from the "Diamond Project Team" as donated any information to even though we can cleary see they have achieved this with their V1 rom which is a real shame. Maybe they choose to do this to give there roms the edge?
Please please don’t take my comments the wrong way I’m really not trying to flame ANYONE out there, I’m just posting my personal opinions as I rush back to behind my fire proof shield J lol

the effects are "Action Scripts"... I dont care for these "protections", i dont see why, we are all part of the same community. But meh.

Yes, all this protection stuff got really bad... anyway, I'm inversing so much time to patch dll's of my ROMs that I don't want other to use it, so I made sure it is not possible that easy, sorry...
But protecting the base ROM is not one of my interest, so I'll try to upload the 1.93 OS this evening.

you should know i have no intention in removing the protection on your ROM's bepe
but yes i know you put alot of time and effort into your ROMs

Well I don't know about the rest of you but I think this protection attitude STINKS.
As at the end of the day I will refuse to use any such ROM. And I really don't care as there will be others such as Walshieau that make quality stuff and I will wait for that. The new graphics in TouchFLO 3D look nice, but I'm not supporting their 'ways'... It's really ****ing disappointing actually... The community is meant to be about SHARING, just give credit where credit is due!!! That's always the way it has worked. After all, the innovators are always a step ahead, so what are they actually worried about??? Who cares if someone rips off the new graphics? Everybody knows who is responsible for the original product anyway... This is ****ing retarded.

Personally I only need base rom. I understand that you work hard to improve your version. All of us would be greatfull for upload.
thx in advance

can u relase the 20270 build for porting to other devices bepe ?

Personally it seems daft to add protection to a cooked rom but I also appreciate the time and effort these guys put into their work, then someone else comes along and rips it off. So, I can understand people want to protect their work. BUT holding back on base ROMs just doesn´t make any sense... it helps all of us here in the community to have what we all want... a better working device. Cheers to walshieau for having the balls to bring this up and thanks in advance to bepe for the base ROM
or TOM

It is not my build, got it from DF... they are about to release it.
If I'm not wrong there is a free SYS and XIP already

ok. but it would be better if we can port from an original source, like a shipped ROM released by tom, rather than an already ported one like hermes or kaiser.

Opinions regarding The best WM 6.1 ROM ??

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
Cheers.

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.

Ill retread my own work..
Myself, Im a CRC fanboy
PDAcorner if you like the icons
Dvha, good, fast, not always sure what they are upto though!
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.

Suggest some speedy ROMs for my new Diamond

I've been using SwiftBL 7.5 Full and I must say I like that ROM a little more than Dutty 3.2. I got Dutty's ROM so far and I don't know where to start to look for some speedy ROMs. I'm not talking lite only, I mean anything as long as it isn't too stripped down. Let me start the specifics...
1. Full Bluetooth Functionality especially A2DP, Headset, AVRCP, and OBEX
2. Stripped to the bare minimum but functional as in no Getting Started BS, no T9 correction (it gets annoying when you do everything DIY), Help Center since this is the great and only source to come for help , Live this and that, and if possible PIE unless it will conflict with the whole deal like in regular Windows
3. Allow access to some of the most deepest settings around
4. Leaving the HTC stuff in, maybe tweaking TouchFlo a little more if possible.
I might seem to be too strict so tell me these things and the pros and cons relating to what I want in the ROM you suggest. Thanks and I'm glad to be a member here, hopefully not just a one-post wonder Keep up the great work guys.

i know the purrrrr-fect ROM for you!!!
its called...search_button.nbh
seriously just read some threads and test the ROMS yourself. Nobody is going to care about what you want and find you a ROM to suit your picky list of requests.
everybody has different views on different ROMS, so what people think maybe fast, steady and perfect may not be in your case.

Duttys V3.3 WWE 5.2.20931.1.5_1.09.25.23

welcome new member
but the other poster is right
you need to start reading........search....search ohhh and search some more
whats good for me.....may not be good for you
best and only way to see what rom is best is to start flashing
good luck and all the best with you diamond

You can start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406640 , the benchmark of benchmarks... hihi

u've tried swift's and duttys... which are one of the better ones out there...
if u prefer swifts (as i do) you should stick to it...
as above no absolute 1 rom is miles ahead of another... what suits A will not always suit B and C etc...

I've been told udK isn't bad, I"m giving it a try now.

Dia Duit ROM v07
But seriously, you should try it yourself. Only you know what is the best for you
