Sorry to be a pain, however there are lots of WM6 roms for the p3600 and i am looking for a good one. I know that they all have thier best bits but i am not sure which one to go for, i need it to be WWE
Is there somewhere where they are listed with a few notes as to any issues with each one
I have done a search and not found anything that lists them or compares them
Any help much appreciated
the reason why there are soo many is that people pref various roms because of the various programs they contain
all comes down to openions
There is no list with pro's and con's but if you read my signature you will find the wiki where most of them are listed.
You have to try a lot of them and decide by your own, and maybe later you will make some sort of list with pro's and con's
In my personal experience i've tried more than 15 different rom's
Good luck with your search...
Personally I like Mary 2.02 or PVAVIET Roms everything seem to work on these with having to tweak etc
mary 2.02 for me...well at the mo anyway
now using AX3L
I personally have tried all roms produced by all rom makers and I do not think I am going to stop trying new ones, each rom version I have tried had something different, but they all have good speed and stability, evey new rom would have something new (OS, HTC stuff, com managers,.....etc)
The strange thing is as the trinity is used all over the world and thus users are using different connections and therefore rom builders have to take into consideration all unique local connection methods -- which is impossible.
For that reason a lot of the bugs reported in many roms are not seen with many users.
To cut long story short, there is no best rom, but there is a good rom that works fine on my device where I live.
You have to find out that rom yourself. (once found; back it up on your SD and consider it your safe rom to revert back to)

Many thanks for the help and the replies, i will get testing the roms
Many thanks
Im using the PDAViet ROM and its SO stable and fast and it also looks great, its my personal choice, i cant remeber what ROM i installed before but within 10mins if annoyed me by hanging. So far (touch wood) this ROM has work WITHOUT fault.
My favorite by far is the one found HERE.
It is the AUS HTC Version with WM6. Works excellent in California, USA on ATT.
VERY rare to crash.
I've then added PocketCM's software, and the whole world is good...
"Bepe" the best
better than all the rest.
Mary 3.x is best for me
For me it's the latest Mary rom... stable quick not to much not to less within...
Adewidt ROM the Best ROM
"Adewidt" vers. ENG en NL/ Dutch -the best
better than all the rest.
(Maja)
This is all down to personal choice,
I have tried AX3L,mUn,Mary,PDAVIET,Karmba_a thing the only one I have not had ago at is Bepe and hes are all used as the baseroms,
Its all about the look and feel, and everyone of these works great,
people deciede which one to use of whats included in the rom and its look,
personally I like the bog standard roms and then I can choose what to add.
Personally I dont like the HTC Home screen but most people do, but I will admit as soon as a new one come out I am hooked and have a try.
In short they are all great, but I do prefer the thread that also include the cab files then use, makes it easier to have a go at cooking our own.
We are sploit for choice, I am pleased that there is no official WM6 for my device else maybe these people would stop thier great work...!!!
Hi guys,
used XDA II / Himalaya until now and walked through time always with the newest ROMs ;-)
Got a Hermes now. I'm currently digging through all the different threads with all the different ROMs available.
Can somebody give me a recommendation for a ROM and a short description what the differences are? Should I take an official ROM or cooked, one of the latest or a well tested/stable one?
I know all the Info is probably in the forum, but it is very time consuming digging through all the threads and apparently there is only an overview of the official ROMs....
Thanks, Hannes.
Schaps 4.31.
New PDAVIET(PV DVH): 5.2.20226 - Build 20226.1.3.0
Cooked ROMS are usually better because they start off with the official and then work the bugs out and add a few extras. To find one that works for you, look at the base model, then you can add cabs of tweaks/programs that fit you. The core is what is the most important to look at.
The MaRaHox ROM V7 is also very good. Have pretty much everything I need striaght out of the ROM and I can delete most of the stuff I don't need.

But with the pagepool changer, you can make any ROM seem to run faster. It helps to look at the core ROM and see what programs are cooked in, then change the pagepool to what you want because you sacrafice speed for storage.
just remember you can't follow what each of us is saying, what works for one may not work for another. just be very very careful, and try things out.

I know, but still the experience and opinions of you guys are much appreciated.....
Best thing to do is to read the threads associated with each ROM. That will easily tell you what is a "good" rom versus one that is "not so good". You determine for yourself what these terms mean.
Also use the search facility to give you even more information. Your question has been asked at least a thousand times now so a simple search would have set you off in the right direction.

It really doesnt matter! None of us use the phone the same way as the others do. So your issues with the ROM might be completely different than others. Only way to find out is to read and keep flashing!

Hi guys, I'll be using a Hermes for a few months until my contract comes up for renewal but having had an iphone and an HTC Advantage for the last year or so I've been a bit spoilt in the memory/mhz department and now using the Hermes is like pulling teeth.
I didn't play with the standard rom long enough to know if I liked it, just dived straight in here, trying out some XDA-dev Roms. I've now tried manilla2D V8 and starbase's touchflo2d and although they look fantastic they seem painfully slow and riddled with bugs. This is not an attack on the authors of those roms, as I said they look fantastic and are hugely functional. I just need one ALOT quicker and without the bugs.
Any recommendations?

Their are limitations as you are aware with the hermes so any rom running hermes rom running touchflo2d will leave you with at or around 20megs of ram. all of the chefs have put out great roms so my suggestion would be to try ones with tf2d cooked in. performance and bugs are non existent in most of them or easily fixable. Good luck.
If you want a fast ROM, don't flash one with manilla or touchflow. They will bog you down. Try one of the lite ROMs out there from Joshkosh or Abusalza's PDA ROMs.

Best rom...
I was using crc's rom's clean design lots of usablity but i constantly had sync problems so tried Dvha79_ddt Rom's and they are all very good i am using V22 5.2.20748 Black basic NoBS and its is excelent.
I'm also using DVH v22 NoBS for months now (usually I flash around every other week) and it seems to be very fast and stable. If you're content with WM standard today screen (no fancy home plugins) I'd suggest go w/ it to conserve resources.
I tend to find most roms strt to get buggy the more 3rd party apps installed. It seems to need experimentation to get it just right but every ROM is different and will, eventually, go down if you're adventurous and keep putting more and more 3rd party apps on.
Cheers...

I'm also using this rom but I have a problem: when I press the side Power Button to turn off the device ( in stand by), any other press of another hardware button opens up the device, and this didn't happened previously (in wm6 rom). For example, even though the device is turned off by short pressing the power button, if I accidentally press the IE button, or the camera button, the device wakes up and opens these apps. What's the solution, any registry tweak to do?
Settings>Key Lock
so, what's the verdict?
I'm new to Hermes (still using Excalibur most of the time). With so many roms and so many suggestions, have you narrowed down to THE fastest and most stable rom yet, Dannyboy? thanks!
Well after trying 3 or 4 different roms before I started this thread and a couple after it I finally settled on PDAViet DVH_V27. It was without doubt the fastest and most bug free but did lack any frills at all. I added HTC home and my usual list of cab files without any problems or slow down.
However..... as usual after a few weeks I now find myself itching for something new so I'm now on here searching for a new one to try
How much free RAM left

Thank you for the info! Do you know how much free memory you usually have? I am thinking about running TomTom navigation software, but wonder if I will have enough RAM to do that. Thanks, again!
Faria 32 - winner
This ROM wins (hands down for me). I have tried at least 6 ROMs recently and really wanted one of the manilla 2D roms to be good enough to stay the distance. I just didn't find them stable enough. PhamQuang attemp is oh so close.
I finally got round to flashing Faria32 - No frills looks wise - but a great clean ROM that hasn't yet thrown up anything significant. For now I'm sticking with this.
Still waiting for the next best touchflow batch.
Fastest Rom!!!
TNT 5.2.19199 build 19199.1.0.0
SK tools 211 score!!!!!
here we go again, each one of us uses our hermes differently, there is no such a thing as 'the fastest', 'the best' bla bla bla rom.
You need to try each one and load the software you want and see if it is fast. For me I have found that ROM.
I agree with Zocster. Everyone's different and everyone uses their device differently. I personally (for everyday use at least, I love testing other ROMS) have settled on CRC's latest stable ROMS.
I use a mac w/ missing sync and haven't had any sync problems. I also have an xp box I use as a tech machine and though I don't really depend on it for syncing, I've tried it a few times and not had any problems.
Anyways, other than benching them all in the exact same conditions, it's pretty much impossible to pin down which is THE fastest, which is THE most stable.
The cooks and testers already dedicate countless hours/days attempting this with just one ROM and even that is often too time consuming and sometimes overwhelming. I don't think any of us really has the time to even try a task so daunting, besides, HW and network conditions vary so greatly that who knows how useful it would even be.
As mentioned, general rules apply, the less frills, the lite/naked/NON-BS ROMS are generally the fastest and most stable. As far as your personal preferences go, you've just gotta rely on other people's recommendations and your own experience testing and trying until you find one that works for you.
There have been plenty of good recommendations already, and as I said, I find CRC's latest stable ROMS to do the job for me, but I am always looking and trying new ones that look good.
So, if you really can't find one that works for you, either take up kareem4nba up on his offer and ask him to build one for you, or do some reading, research, download a kitchen, and start cooking.
But, as I said, generally fast and stable are more synonymous with the lite, naked, and non-BS, 'function before form,' "clean" ROMS.
But I digress and agree with zocster, there is no such thing as "the best," "the fastest," or "the most stable" ROM, there are so many uncontrollable variables and is judged based on so many subjective factors that there aren't and really can't be any "true" answer to this question for the ages.
This all doesn't even factor in the fact that there are constantly new ROMs, new cooks, new programs, new advances, the scene is always changing. So, even if you could pin down the "best ROM right now, but who knows what'll happen tomorrow or next week.
All in all, it's an impossible question to answer. All you can do is to use the process of elimination based on other people's opinions and your own experience. Sorry. Good luck. Happy flashing!
I actually don't mind seeing one of the threads pop up every now again...
Anyway it's all been said though I would add that Speed and Stability are not always mutual inclusive.
I find:
KareemNBA's and JoshKoss's to be the fastest.
PDACornerv25/ DVH Good Speed/Stability
Crc's Most Stable
I don't know if this is the right place to post this so moderators, feel free to move this to where exactly it belongs.
I'm quite new to cooked ROMs and flashing them etc, you get it so I don't that much of knowledge about it.
I'm wondering which one of all of these cooked ROMs is the fastest and most stable?
Also, which pagepool to you recommend; 0mb, 6mb,8mb,12mb or 16mb?
Thanks in advance!

It is different for each and every person. What is good for me, may be bad for you - we all use our device differently. The only REAL answer to this, is try them all yourself, and stick with the one YOU like best.
Take your time to read the stickies about upgrading & Hard-SPL, look at a few threads, read peoples opinions on certain ROMs.
Really, no-one can tell YOU what is the best rom for YOU
This is the answer you will get from anyone that actually has any experience in flashing roms
BUT, if you must have some guidance, some benchmarks have been done here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406640 - but personally, I dont like the rom that appears to be the fastest on that persons device!
didn't saw that reply
thank you for that, for the moment I'm using Dutty 3.6 Final with 12pp. Recently I had SwiftBL with 16pp and I use my phone for different things, at the same time so would it be better to have a larger pp?

In theory, a larger pagepool would be slightly better. I however, have been using Dutty 3.6 final for some time now, as it is as default, and have not seen any reason to use a bigger pagepool. I did try 16mb, but it *appeared* to be less stable for me...I'm sticking with this...or I might go to Dutty v4 after it has been around a while - I think that has a bigger pagepool by default

I've been around this forum for a while and have come across the pagepool changer. Since the ROM we both using is very stable as it is, would you considering to change the pagepool into 16mb for Dutty 3.6 instead of upgrading to v4?

I wouldn't, myself, I have already tried that and didn't like it. Also, make sure you use the latest changer that is compatible with the newer ROMs if you do.. The only reason I would upgrade to v4 is for the slide to answer, and because I am addicted to flashing! I must have tried most roms available up until the beginning of December
I would have to say, if what you are running now, even with 12mb pagepool, is not giving you any particular errors or problems, then there is probably no reason to change anything at all..

I have BsB 651G for a while. I'd like to switch to some newer build, but is there a reason? Can I get something new?
BsB is bugfree, looks nice, has about 58mb freeram after sr.
Is there any newer rom fill this criteria?
Thanx for your opinion.

not really it's prob the most solid ROM ther eis for the touch diamond IMO, there is quite a few chefs that have produced ROMS with Sense but its upto you if you wanna try them, i always trying something different but always go back to the ROM in my sig, have you tried Xandroid yet thats fun to play with

yep, i'm watching denstereo's ROM development, but why to flash this? Yes, it has newer kernel, but it doesn't bring any real diference. But 43mb free ram vs 58mb is the real diference
BsB
There is no ROMs out there that can compete with BsB - I have tried A LOT of ROMs from here and all of them have bugs apart from BsB
I use my Diamond every day and never have any issues with BsB ever
I will only flash another ROM if Windows Mobile 7 gets ported to Diamond

as have many on here changed ROMS so many times now i think its down to personal choice on what you think is better, some people love BSB ROMS some people prefer other things each to their own, we could give you loads to try but you should just back up everything and give it a go we all no its not to much hassle to swap ROMs so just give them a try if you dont like go back to what you like

a nice and diplomatic response trev.
@davidm2: I just dropped by coz I see my ROM listed in the tryouts. Someone suggested its close to BsB ... I know I'm nowhere close.
But all I can say is that BsB ROMs or for that matter, any other ROM in this forum can never be emulated even if the chefs share their entire kitchen with other fellow chefs. Each chef has a defined style and persona which finds its way to blend into their ROMs.
Fans of BsB will always aim for very high memory, zero bugs/high-stability, speed, and simplicity coupled with a crisp UI. And as trev puts it, its really down to personal choice. Give it a try, you can always switch back to your preferred best.
I've been cooking my own ROMs for a while now, but every time I goof up and need some sanity, I flash back to BsB myself coz I know thats the best of the lot (for me).

(one question: there is one bug at BsB after all: ezinput(keyboard) in landscape mode isnt show correctly, the keyboard is a little bit wider than the screen, right part is cutted-off, the 'P' letter is missing and half of 'L' letter is missing. Has the RaL.GT1F this bug too?)

Although I can't confirm this (I'm using a non-ezinput version of my ROM now), but I did install the Ezinput cab (same version) and it didn't cut the sides off (i.e it works just fine).
I've asked for the guys to check if it exists in the main ROM nevertheless. I'll do so too when I flash next. Also, posted a reply to your query there as well.
Hi I have been using BsB since nearly the beginning, but since he switched over to the HD2 been looking for new rom. have tried a few including xandroid but have stoped with Energy Phoenix 2..very nice stable rom like you said it is loaded but it works well while we wait for the bugs to be ironed out of xandroid
