Been a avid lurker/user since mid 07 when i first had a hermes, those were the days..... the chefs being jasjamming, schaps in his early days and many others, I didnt use to flash so much, because i believe then, the roms, although older were more stable (wm6 that is), now the point of this post is, Im not a great lover of manilla, and I love to play games, use opera mini and use notepad/word, my kids love Flip It, PDApaint, Whats the best OLD rom, although great chefs like JLA and Josh have made great 6.1 roms, I believe the older the better... I remember Black Satin by JasJamming and his black series..... Can you guys recommend a real GOOD old Rom? its got to be able to run Games and all the above and the wi-fi gotta run good too, I look forward to your help

Lol I'm obsessed in using the latest builds just so i can say to people that i have the latest windows. I have been thinking of making a old wm6 version of my ROM as i think the same i just didn't think any one would use it because its wm6.

I don't quite see how an old ROM is better in terms of running apps and games. I frequently play games, surf the web etc. and I almost always use the cutting edge ROMs. I can clearly say the newer ROMs are better almost in any terms. I said almost because there is always a minor quirk somewhere. But that also holds for old ROMs.
By the way, new doesn't mean Manilla. I don't like bloated interfaces myself, and I prefer my ROM slim, fast and responsive. There are a couple of light ROMs out there at the moment. I strongly recommend you to try one of them. I find http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458843 to be one of the best at the moment.
thanks burkay, i have about three to flash, basically that rom looks the works, and its based on josh's rom, so i know it will be a class rom...
edit: this rom is too perfect. im keeping this one
erm, flashed again, now found a superb rom, its windows 6.1, the name is in my signature. post closed lol

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...
peter
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.
I've tried various ROMs All the original 1.35's, 1.37's and the 1.93. The last Hong Kong WWE release 1.93.831.1 didn't really live up to my expectations either. Many of the cooked ROMs are a real improvement, but I found Swiftblades ROMs to be the most stable and best performing ones upto now. Just wanted to share this with you. 3.2 is working so well that I'm not really sure if I'll change to his 4.0 ROM. But ah, for the sake of trying I might flash it anyway...
We all appreciate your opinion, but why opening a Thread just for it?!?!?!?!
You could leave your feedback inside SwiftBL's thread...
Sometimes I just don't understand these people....
HastaSSSS

As the thread is started +1 for me. Swiftblades are kick ass ROM
I have tested many many so far, and for now, they are the most stable...
Many thanks to all our cookers, I love you
Dutty's Rom's for teh win... every time...
Dont like Swift's Volume Tweak that makes every MP3 sound like garbage cuz of the elevated GAIN...
another pointless thread
yes guys lets close this thread I can see this getting ridiculous soon, every rom is different every person tastes is different, I dont force or cookers force any one to use thier rom, All I can say every cook spend a lot of time cooking to get the most of our devices so all cooks should be appreciated, Wethere one rom is gooder than the other
Missing "AppToDate" which is available in the TLR ROMs, in my opinion. Otherwise, you have install new ROMs and all programs again and again to be your device updated...
Who do you think is the Iron Chef here?
28 views and no replies, huh?
I'll bite.
I like ROMS from Agent 47, gtrab, Itje and Wild Child.
It's difficult to pick one becuase I have used ROMS from each of these chefs and found them to be excellent work.
I think support from the chef is also paramount in picking the iron chef.
At the moment I'm running Agent's valkyrie 2.4 firestorm
smaberg..
his rom is the only one in which i never have to say ..damn,,,
for me, it'd have to be a brawl between gtrab, and itje.
I have used ROM's from Itje, Agent_47, Jackleung, Smaberg and NRGZ. I would say it's really hard to choose which among them is the best as all of them seems to cook better and better ROM's. I guess it all boils down as to which one you want to keep. I would like to keep all but i only have one x1. Guess i need to buy a few...lol!
Jack's rom, still there. Haven't flashed for about a month now.
Why so stable!!!
Oh yeah, I haven't done a soft-reset for a while now, week atleast.
Are there any cooked ROMs that basically have no "added" bugs on top of the ones that are already in R3A and WinMo?
I just don't have time to flash multiple times, though I wish I could.
I really appreciate any advice.
I personally like gtrab's rom,
There are so many great ROMs and iron chefs, but personally prefer itje's Touch-IT!
i was first a user of itje
but there is one major problem in all his roms
when i open opera or internet explorer and log on to xda developers i can enter details from my hardware keyboard..i have to use onscreen..while in smaberg and in agent_47 it works that way..so i use them.!!
I think there is a dead race between itje, smaberg, nrg and agent47.
Itje and smaberg have made very stabile roms. Agent47 and nrg has a lot of eye-candy in their roms.
They are all my favourite, i cant just choose one of them.
itje is the iron chef
Imo Itje and Agent_47 are the best with ALL the other big chefs are right behind them. They have all great work.
Btw, VNMenIeu, Love how u say that Itje is the iron chef but u use gtrab's rom
I just got this phone. i've been a g1 user for a while and now i want to get some ideas on everyone's favorite ROM. I'm going to read through and pick one i like, just want some idea of what everyone here runs
I'd suggest u try them all and make a choice. ROMs are like mates there isnt a best one just one best for you.
As Bxsteez said, there is no overall best. But I rather like the EnergyROM releases. I ran the last Warhawk for about a week without seeing any of the posted bugs, but just upgraded to the Genesis line.
The AtomAng ROM is popular, as well. Just go poke around in the ROM dev thread. Try them all. I went through 4 or 5 in the span of 2 days, before I settled on Energy.
hey thanks. i actually just put on the energy ROM and i think i'm in love...don't get me wrong i loved android but this is dope
Theres an Energy Windows mobile 6.5 ROM that's dead stable, stick to manilla 2.1 for now though if you want stability, i'm using a manilla 2.5 ROM and even though i love the new 'swish' features... bug free it aint.
I'd go for the bottom one of the 3.... tried and tested

The best ROM
This has been asked and answered so many times...there is no such "best ROM"
The best ROM is the one that fits better for your personal needs.
My best ROM could not be your best
Try severals till you get the one you like more!

Well your title thread was asking for the best, not for the most popular
Anyway, glad to see you finally search and found your best ROM.
So I don't wanna read the whole thread... which is the best ROM?
Nah Just kidding, I've been using energyrom, since I got the phone, and I love it, like everything about it how its organized, how it grapically looks stock, and how it performs. I lik 6.5 roms, and I'm not into the guys toying with the 2.5 and 2.6 cause I'm tired of beta testing, I want a phone I can enjoy
and as far as android goes, I didn't like it, I haven't followed it since I bricked my G1 beta testing for JF, but I felt suffocated using, I like the free of winmo, and the piracy!
EnergyRom vs MightyRom?
What about performance wise?
Feature wise?
Hey, Im coming from a CDMA TP1 and Now of course have a Tmobile TP2. Ive been holding off on flashing as Ive been waiting for the Official 6.5 to come out, But the more research I do the less I feel Tmobile will get one anytime soon, Please correct me if Im wrong!
SO Ive decided to take the plunge again and Flash this bad boy, Now coming from a tp1 Ive flashed my fair share and enjoy it very Much, except one thing, bugs, There always seems to be many bugs in Custom roms and fixes are always being made. I want a lite 6.5 rom that has the least amount of bugs, I have plenty cab files to get it how I want but once again I want a rom with the least bugs, great battery and a eyecandy dont matter.
So, Whats the best Tmobile TP2 rom out right now in your opinion??????
To tell you the truth all is great! All is the same, but just look different in visuals, builds, some programs, and features. Each chef has their own style so I would say flash them all and make a decision.
I can't tell you which one is better, but I can tell you the one in my sig is awesome!
Long time i don´t see one of this.
Keep questioning away my friend.

In before LOCK in 3, 2, 1....
i have to say that i have dl many roms here and i love the new EnergyRom "Photon" (23016) with manilla 2.1 as it works better for t-mobile US, very smooth and stable good battery life no freezes, landscape works the only problem is youtube is not working but i dont really use that so its not an issue for me. this is by fay my Favorite ROM right now.
just my 2 cents!!
Dont waste your time
They are all rubbish mate, dont waste your time, wait until HTC release theirs, will happen THIS WEEK!
Are you kidding (whoever said they're rubbish), custom ROM's are 3x (at least) better than Official ROM's!
But to the original poster, you have to find your own that fits you. There is no answer, your question doesn't belong in this section, and it will only spawn battles over which ROM is best.
But you'll find all the WM6.5 ROM's here: http://thewingster.com/wm65tp2.aspx Enjoy!
Disagree
I tend to disagree with most, Including the mods, in that this is a valid question that can be asked. It is not 'rubbish to flash' and 'everyone finding their own by testing' is not good advice in my opinion. Their are two, count them 2, roms that fit the above criterion for a cooked rom. One has 1 TRUE bug... Youtube freezes the phone. Biggie or small depending. The other is the one I currently am running and believe I will stick with because it has NO bugs. Zero, Zilch, Nada! Alot needs to be said for that.
I found the first and was singing its praises when I noticed a new rom posting stating the ideal rom in my opinion. I flashed it just this morning and aftera days heavy use with all the normal trouble shooting I find it to be 100% bug free. YOU WILL FIND BUGS WITH 99% of roms. This is the exception.
The first, my second favorite, was Miris 3.0 rom running manilla 2.1, and windows 6.5.
The second, my favorite, is A.Z.T.O.R. by alphazero. It runs manilla 2.0 and windows 6.5.
any questions feel free to pm me or post here unless it gets closed. If it does, like I said, pm me.
Please keep non-development questions out of the development forums.
I moved the thread to the general thread.
The best ROM?
This has been discussed so many times before.
There is no such "Best ROM"
What´s best for me can´t be best for you.
It´s matter of tastes, what you need on a ROM and what not.
The best way is to test severals till you get your personal "Best"
The best ROM?
Sorry double post...
Nice rom.
Mosess, Dude, thanks for suggesting the rom you did. I agree 100 % this is a very stable and great rom. Im gonna mess with it for a while and see how everything agrees with me. So far so good. thanks again.
I agree with Orb! There is no such thing as best cooked ROM. Its just matter of personal preference when it comes to flashing ROM's.
If you are really looking for a stable ROM, then stick with stock ROM.
Per greedydog:
Stop "Flaming" a member on XDA.
If you happen to not like his/her/it's rom..............switch to a different one.
As for this thread..............everyone is different in likings for a rom, experiment with installing some and making your own decision.
