Hey Guys,
I haven't been here in a while, and I havent had my TyTn in a while either (lent it to a friend for almost a year...i know, im such a good friend) Well I got it back and I want to upgrade the ROM to something new/cool/fast.
What would you recommend? Which ROM and by whom?
Thanks guys, I was glad to see that XDA developers is still here
welcome back...a lot has been cooked up in the last year! for starters check out these great chefs WM6.1 threads/posts for details: abusalza, dvh, crc, joshkoss, and there are others...
try more than one...happy flashing
hmm such old question, you must have patience of a saint!
They've come a long way, and you'll be hard pressed to go wrong with any of the following:
CRCinAU's version 13 stable: I've been running this for the last 6 weeks, and never had a need to move off of it. CRC's AutoUpdate application is awesome for trying new features.
Abusalza's PDACorner releases... Really fast, I ran V20 for a long time after MRV left the Hermes forum for a newer device.
Joshkoss's Haloween release... I love this thing. It's amazingly fast, simple and has all the primary features I need. (google maps, opera that's fast, Youtube, MSOffice, and all the config tools to make it work well)
I've finally started trying the NRBS releases instead of the Normal ones. What a performance improvement.
Go read the wiki some, to understand the new jargon and instructions, and then start with any of these guys work and you won't be disappointed.
Happy flashing

LOL, So true...I was very close to the edge on this one
I think all above posted ROMs are great.
As a Tipp: Wait vor the V11 Final af joskoss, this will be great and amzingly fast
Another Tipp: Manila ROMs looks great but doesnt fit really into the system features of the Hermes device
thanks for the replies!!!!
Does anyone suggest a ROM over any other that has a combination of speed and features??

the thing is mate, what works for might not work for you, the only way is to try! Check people's signature on what they use and have a play. Just remember this! as we don't know what you do behind your doors! or outside for that matter!

thanks for the reply! you are right... there are so many variations i am asking a very ambiguous question...i guess what i was asking if there was one ROM that stood out among others as "the best rom" hands down...
I'm flashing right now with "HTC_HERMES_S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D_UC_ WWE v3 / GER v1 "
it looks promising!!
thanks again everyone for the help!!!

Nope there is no such a thing, they are all great in their own right at the end of the day, you decide what ROM to use for YOUR use.

Assalamu alikum,
Its been around here so much ROMS that one can get confuse, which one to select. Obviously everyone has its own features, and everyone has its own defect issues.
But obviously i would give my own choice of choosing the rom,
May i know which is the best Stable ROM yet made .. i mean amongst the latest ones.
Sleuth's, or LVSW's, or Black Dymond, Custel, vp3g,
Plz, i need help regarding this...

can you slap yourself...2 times....
you HAVE to do the reading...honestly...it wont kill you...
if you aren't willing to invest the time to read about each rom and also read Mr Vanx's guide on how to flash properly, stay with the stock rom
Well, I was about to say start... ah, never mind.
It has been stated. Read the wiki!

sure, i would have done this.. but i have tried almost all of them, still i'm not sure,,
when i came back on this site after, 7 days, more roms were available...
Even i heard that LVSW is the best stable rom, so i installed it,,but after 10 days it is also getting stuck oftenly..
I have read the wiki too..
Hey, is there any official Rom here, i mean from Microsoft or like that..

hey, everyone amonst you are saying read the things given for each ROM..
But can't you decide, i mean those amongst you , who have tried almost all the ROMS, and then which one they got the most stable..
I mean , reading just don't make the sense, you have to try to confess that it is really a good ROM..
and but natural trying all of these ROMS.... woooohhhh... its a lot...
So, plz, can anyone post his ideas regarding all the ROMS he have tested, and among those which one he found the stable one..
Thnx.

COME ON......you need to try them all for yourself...the criteria we all use is different on how we like the ROMs, instead of asking why not just try them yourself?
Here is what the experts are saying. According to Custel, his ROM is the best. vp3G highly recommends his and the Elf ROM is far better than the others according to the elf. LVSW really likes his ROM and Dutty says his is superior. The Sleuth ROM is great, I know because Sleuth said so. I'm sure I overlooked a great chef or two, but they already know whose ROM is best, so no need for me to cover them all.
The rest of us read, test, and make our decision based on our needs.
Or, if you still can't decide, you can use the one that came with your phone because someone somewhere thinks it is the best. Don't ask me why.
OK...here's your answer
Since you insist on an easy answer, and refuse to make you own decision regarding what you read and/or experience for yourself...Custel's 2.5 is the best. That's the one I have installed right now, and it works great with the 50 or so apps that I have decided for myself are the apps I wish to run.
Of course I am planning to try his newer ones, but as I have not as yet, I can't tell you if those are even better. I have also not tried Sleuth's, LVSW's, Kyphur's, the Elf's, any of the Blacks since 2.0, nor any of the others, so I can't say for sure if any of them would also work well with the 50 or so apps I have decided work best for me and my own usage of my device. (Notice how many times I'm repeating that word 'my').
But I will definitely tell you, since you insist, that Custel's is the best! This, despite all of the polls and threads already about this same issue that might lead you, if you could make your own decision, to think otherwise. Yes, Custel's is the best.
Hope this info makes you feel better, and you can now decide.
Do you also need to know what apps are the best? I'll tell you in one simple sentence...the ones I use
Note though, that I take no reponsibility if any of this doesn't work for you, and you fry your machine or something. With that, you will be on your own.
OK, thread solved. Can it be closed now? Thanks, mods.

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

thank you but dont worry im no noob when it comes to flashing, im on my 5th pda device, i had one when the format was 1st released back in the 90's ive installed the touch 2.1 rom and it is superb thanks for all your help and guidance every one.... loving this phone and the great choice in roms just have to hand it over to my wife...
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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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,
Unlocking: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock
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
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.

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.
