hey,
just wanted to ask around which wm 6.5 rom including manila 2.5 is the most stable one for you?
so far i've been testing all roms around, except the newest version of miri's (1.2) and i have to say for me the most stable one is NRG - Genesis, although Manila sometimes does freezes for some seconds after unlocking the device (with wm 6.5 screenlock).
let me know your thoughts!
tats very true dude...not only it freezes on wm lock but also with the latest version of s2u2. But thats affordable with such high eye candy looks n good performance.
Manilla 2.5 is still in early stages of development. So you going to see lockups until we can make it run good. For now, if you want a stable ROM, better stick with Manilla 2.1.
Am I the only one that doesn't like 2.5? The homescreen looks cluttered and tacky!
If the launch icons had been about half the size with a weather 'bar' above them it might have been better. Think I will stick to the old one!
The quickest and most stable build i've tried is Miri's v1.2. I was getting the screenlock problem on the other roms but so far this build has been trouble free. I would like to use the footprints tab, but I can wait!

I get the freeze problem on Miri 1.2 too. What application do you use to autolock your phone?

No, I totally agree. I like having the weather on the home screen, but the programme icons look horrible at the size they are. They need to be much smaller, and maybe just a small row of 4 icons at the bottom of the main homescreen that you can flick up to 16 icons in total instead of 9!

Hi plx,
Im looking foor a good rom with touchflo 4sided cube and the best would be a gr8 working full touch rom for artemis or something
so I hope you guys could get me some links/downloads.
thnx anyway
don't look for the cube because it's crap
here are tons of manila2D roms
and they are fast...and have better feeling
I've gone back to the old roms because the manilla ones are crap. Generally the love roms seemed best: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400452

hey 4.02 is still the best one
there is no problem with manila...there is a problem with cookers...there are no more dedicated cookers like meschle...i am waiting for my artemis... so i can cook something myself
enough of vietnamese junk (except for few)
There is a problem with Manilla, in the fact it uses an awful lot of memory for essentially the same functions as HTC Home, but with fancy graphics. For the record, until Manilla 2D is either hacked so it doesn't use as much RAM, or there is some way of extending the memory (as on WM2003SE), I won't go back. I'm on Artemis Touch 4.02 Full with no cube at the moment, in my view the best rom around.
Ok NVM guys Ive found a good one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400452
got 4.02 full works gr8 and fast
only need to load my contacts into outlook and sync them

well the manilla roms are good but non of the rom speaking for my self I liked more then Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 it has all the apps in it been trying to open it and removed some things like cube and htc home and install manilla but dident have much luck on it every kitchen i try dident worked cant dumb the rom maybe bec. i am used Vista or maybe I am doing something wrong
Ive seen a lot of developments on the first page pertaining to ported HD rom and the new diamond 2.00. For those who have experienced with both (I'm comfortable with 1.93 at the moment), which version seems to be better in terms of usability, stability and performance?
Thanks
I just flashed the 2.0 AFK WWE rom
and WOW, it blows the doors off of 1.9. been using it for a few hours now. haven't found any bugs/glitches. everything i've tested so far seems to work but have not installed anything other than advanced config.
no experience with touch HD port but i don't know how it could be faster than this
i'm using PistonRipper's lite 2.00 rom. It's great, it's stable, it's fast (manila is definitely faster than HD)
i've also tried Ct's 6.1 rom with HD manila but it isn't as responsive as the 2.00 rom (try pressing the Home button, on the 2.00 rom it's almost instant, on the HD you still have a small lag)
used a few hd till i moved to pistonrippers 2.00. wow! wee faster, and way more stable!
I tested several versions of both but still not happy, after a few days all start to give smal issues, like not ringing incoming call or alarm not working.
between both; HD roms look nice.
Where is the pistonrippers ROM? I can't seem to find it...

Best ROM?
Obviously, the best ROM is the one that suits your needs the best and the one you happen to like the best. Having said that, in answer to your question... I've tried about six different ROM's in as many days, some with ported HD Manila's, some with v1.97, some v2.0
In my opinion, for pure stability, speed, memory management, usability and everything working / displaying as it should - you can't beat Pistonrippers' version of the stock v2.00 test ROM... this is what it does to my face even now
Isn't the 2.00 still a beta? I'm waiting for the official release to try it out
Anyone hazard a guess on when that might be?
Good to know that there are people in HTC working on it even 6 months after the release.... (though this conversely means they weren't quite ready when they released it)
Beta?

Whether the v2.0 is a beta or not doesn't matter. It blows the socks of HTC's previously released ROM's... and in my opinion, a lot of the cooked ROM's as well. I wouldn't hold your breath waiting for HTC to slap a new ROM in your lap!
2.00
this beat's any hd ported rom hands .....IMO
trust me.....i have tried them all
friends,, what about duttys 3.6b vs 2.00? what do u say about?
Just tried 2.00 and Duttys 3.6b.. I went back to Duttys. Very stable and had the tools i use. Very close run thing.

My version 6 ROMs are all with the 2.00 base which is very stable and fast, the only diffrence is the manila. I have to agree the latest manila from the 2.00 ROM is very fast but it doesn't have stock like the ported HD manila....and I use it
Duttys 3.6b is as fast as 2.00, I played with 2.00 for a week and went back to duttys as there were a few things about 2.00 i wasnt happy with.
thank you for the helpful replies, guys! With so many good ROMs out there, I don't know which one to use next! THEY'RE ALLL GOOODDD!!!

yeah thats the point! they are all good but some of them hit your needs better than others just choose one if you dun like it just pick up another one im sure you ll find the best for your eneds. for my needs i think udK Syrius HD R0 - Quartz Build 20759.1.4.2 is the best it got some parts portet from the hd and i think for a beta its much better than everything i ve tried yet
cheers
is there a source documenting the changes from 1.93 to 2.0? are there new features or only bug fixes? is there any information if htc will enhance the contacts app or the messaging app? this are the two main areas wm is lacking usability compared to other phone devices.

first of all, the speed of the 2.00 rom, its a lot faster and with the last manilla, its faster then any other diamond rom I tried, including the hd port..
it even comes close to the htc blackstone (HD), it reacts just as fast..
about the enhancements:
I found out that you can slide the email messages like in the touchflo3d with this rom..
if you click on a envelope in tf3d it opens the email,then you can slide to the following email by sliding to the left or right, never noticed this before? is it new in 2.00 rom ?
I'm not sure I have even tried 2.0
Does anyone know if Duttys V3.3 is based on a 1.9x or 2.0?
Hi All,
Sorry for creating a new thread but I've been constantly tweaking and upgrading my touch diamond and tbh I'm not happy. I have tried countless roms and I have yet to find a fluid one which does not frustrate me. Sense 2.5 is unusable, I don't understand how anyone can use it; you guys must have a lot of patient. I have gone for Gen Y 6.1 with Sense 2.1. I have heard that WM6.1 runs slightly faster and I use the recommended radio. Yes this rom is faster than most others I have tried but it's still not fast enough. It's a clean flash with mtty and I have changed the file system cache yada yada yada but it's still pretty laggy. I'm posting to ask peoples opinions on the fastest roms and I don't mean ones that are simply "usable". I am still unsure with the speed difference between TF3D compared to sense and I have yet to try Titanium, maybe titanium is the way froward? What are the fastest combinations (eg win6.1 with what etc..).
Any advice would be great,
Thanks in advance.
in my opinion these are the fast and stable combo you could try
WM 6.1 + sense 2.5 => GenY roms are great, programs mems are usually about 65% used but it's kinda not "smooth" enough when sliding the tabs :|
WM 6.5 + sense 2.1 => DonSalari roms , really fast but heavily tweak and some kind of stuffs i must install the invidual packages while other roms have them natively
WM 6.1 + sense 2.1 => best performance for daily use ! compared with TF3D 2.1 , sense 2.1 is more eyed-candy and get the better ram usage the TF3D 2.1 is always about 80% when you have used the music tab, picture tab. While in sense 2.1 it's about 65% used
so enough ? i'm on the way finding a best combo 6.5 + sense 2.1 with stock stuffs and best perfomance. and you may like a 6.1+ sense 2.1 combo ftw ) sorry for my english isn't good enough
i think the PP you can set to 10mb for best perfomance , 8mb by default is really turning me on when using sense 2.5
I've switched to 6.5 and titanium because I couldn't find a rom which had decent perfromance without bugs. It's a BSB rom and so far not had any issues with it. Sense 2.5 has about a second added every time you switch tabs. It looks pretty but it's just too slow.
Just switched to BSB Titanium 6.5 and it seems so much faster. I've only had a quick play but it seems very responsive. I just need to get used to the titanium UI, haven't got a clue where anything is, lol. Is there any way to get the task manager in the top menu like the other versions because I keep losing my apps =s

You should find a shortcut to a program called CHome editor. You can use this to make new panels. It's not the most inuitive app but it's what we have. You can use it to create a panel with a shortcut to the built-in task manager. I'm not aware of how you'd use the old top corner style task manager but if you get this to work, you might like it even more.
Not sure if I posted this in the proper place but here is the question.....

How do I customize HTC Sense in Windows 6.5 Phoenix 2 ROM?
This may be a simple question, but whenever I check off things other than HTC Sense when customizing the home screen, nothing shows up.
More specifically I want messaging and info on the today screen too, but the only thing that is there is HTC Sense Clock/weather. It is very stubborn, in which it disables anything other than itself to be shown in the today screen.
How do I fix this (Look at pictures for more info)
Pictures are in the order I took them, and not by the name/number of them.

That's because Sense covers the windows Today screen. All the other widgets you select are hidden behind it. It's like watching a fullscreen movie and wondering why you can't see the clock widget on your desktop.
If you want to put more stuff on your Sense homescreen, use Max Manila.

There is a problem with that though because max manila only supports sense 2.5, while im using 2.1. 2.1 is also "better" for the xperia because sense 2.5 has 1GHz CPU's in mind, while xperia is half that speed I think. SO what do you mean by use max manila?
I'm sorry, I confused WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5.
I'm afraid you'll have to scour the Themes and the Dev and Hacking forums for tweaks for Manila 2.1. It usually involves editing the manila files themselves.

And there is a Sense 2.5 version for TP2, and thus for 528MHz CPU.
Yeah I switched to the leo builds, which have sense 2.5. Is this what your talking about Lokatho?

Yes, the feb 26 release has Sense 2.5 from Rhodium and not Leo. You can tell because it doesn't has the document, e-reader and footprints tab.
Currently I'm trying out the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 UI and enjoying it as it appears to be faster than TF3D. Are there any ROM's out there that are as customizable as SPBMS 3.5 and as clean looking? I'm currently using the stock rom/radio and really have no idea what else I can do to the phone other than download more apps from the marketplace.
In terms of customization there isn't a whole lot you can do w/ the stock Sense 2.1/2.5 interface. Icon customization, taskbar customization, background/page customization.
I think this is probably the most popular theme for sense UI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585072
That theme looks pretty nice. I'm a bit confused on the implementation of it though as it looks like you need to install a cab file for each screen?
I've honestly never installed it, so I couldn't say for sure...I think its just the first cab for the whole theme and then all the attached cabs are for specific screens.
http://cid-506db80c62501001.skydriv...ublic/DUSK Leo 2.1/Dusk^_Leo^_Manila^_2.1.CAB
main cab.
Also check out the Theme forums to see what else is cooking:

Completely forgot, but as far as flashing a more stable ROM, here are some general guidlines. Sense 2.1 will almost always be faster than sense 2.5. Some popular roms include NRG Pheonix, NRG Leo, Valkyrie:
