while i know all the rage is with the TouchFLO and other GUI's, i really don't want them. I like SPB Shell so much better since it's very customizable as to where and what you want on your screen.
with that being said, i would like a simple ROM with just the basics like:
internet sharing
3d drivers (if possible)
VC
contacts
camera
remote desktop
active sync
adobe
comm mananger
IE (with PIE)
java
notes
pictures and vid
sim manager
voice recorder
ZIP and
GPS apps (quick gps and maybe tomtom or garmin).
no opera or youtube or fancy tele-pad (it actually interferes with Privus Caller-ID). I install a lot of my own apps like Core Player and games.
is there such a ROM for a user like me? I find all these extra UI's to take up a lot of space which otherwise can be used more efficiently.
if there is such a ROM, please direct. Thanks!!

thanks!! i actually searched and must have missed that. my bad. thanks for the great link. will try today.
Hi, i dont like 6.5, tried 3 ver, and don't like it at all.
Is there some completely verified and lite ver 6.1
Don't have the nerves to download and try couple of them...
Please...
try the lite versions of either ENERGY rom or GEN Y rom they are dependable roms
but i would like to reinstate that roms are ery personal things and experiences vary among users depending on their core needs...
ALL THE BEST n PEACE
Thx,
i used Dia Duit ROM v1.6.7 "official" - based on 2.11.70.1
If it's not sutable, I;l try it.
Quick question on clarity:
IF i download the RUU, do I still have to hard-SPL my diamond? i don't seem to understand what Hard-SPL is used for if RUU is packaged in the ROM upgrade.
any unofficial ROM and u need hard SPL
OK, so i tired to get Hard-SPL to get on my Diamond and failed.
apparently i have hard-spl 1.93 vs. 1.23/24?!?!????
what are my options now? i would like to try different radios (maybe even the polaris' radio since i get GPS lock no longer than 2 minutes while the diamond 1.00.25.08 takes... well, if it did would be a miracle).
how now brown cow? what can i do now to get newer/better radio roms?
thanks!!

We've been waiting quite a long time for this moment, and finally it's here. All of you who already flashed official WM6 ROM into their Hermeses - please post your thoughts about it, how does it look like (screenshots are welcome), is it stable, does it lack some of the features, etc. For example: does it have VoIP on board? Is dialer and comm mgr 'old-style', or maybe 'touch-style'?
I hope that this topic could help us to decide whether to go for flashing official WM6, or maybe our chefs ROMs. Personally, I'm a little bit confused, if I should flash official, or Black Majik, or maybe wait for freshly cooked ROMs..? Thanks for all your input in advance.

My plan is to take this new ROM and do my first stripped-down Hermes ROM (used to do it on Blue Angel but not Hermes so far) for speed and simplicity.
If I work out how to add in any updated drivers our cooks here have fiund I will but at a later date once I've got the procedure down.
definitely wait for freshly cooked ROMs
A2DP
Basically, i'd like to know how the a2dp is on this ROM. I use a2dp a lot since my phone is also my mp3 player. So does this rom have updated/latest a2dp driver? or is it no different than the other official roms when it comes to a2dp? So far Sleuth's latest has been the one with the best a2dp but if this rom comes with new/updated/latest a2dp drivers then it should be better right? user opinions please

Do this new rom take up more memory than wm5?
thx
I downloaded right now the WWE version, but still working in my office, presumably until late night... :-((
So, please, who can quickly flash the new rom, share his/her first impressions with us!
(Especially: which OS it uses, what HTC-made utilities have been put in it, are there any new features comparing to the official HTC Asia-Dopod WM6 rom?, etc.)
Thanks!
I second this request. I'm quite decided to install Pdaviet Black&Blue 4.2, after my good experience with 4.0, but I'm curious to know about this, and these are localized too
I have a question :
if , after tried wm6 official HTC ROM , i decide to revert back to wm5 official Rom how can i do this ?
Why Htc haven't provided the wm5 ROM for going back if desired ?
It's pretty the same as WM5 but then WM6. After first boot it installs the same utils as it would in WM5 like TomTom, QuickGPS etc. (Also the ugly green dailer )
Windows Mobile 6 Professional 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
IPL 3.13.0001
SPL 3.13.0000
GSM 02.94.90
OS 3.13.0.0
that is terrible!!!!!
i hope tom finished his 4.2 version soon
Pretty much the same as the asia one but with Office 2007 and cleaner.
Its clean, stable, fast and once again CLEAN!! install what you like.
Im sticking to this, you also know its been tested better than the home cooked, hats off to the guys but I dont like junk.
i reinstall the touch 2.1 ( really i'm waiting b&b4.2 ) after ... 12 minutes.
So,its only localized ... and no extra software.
i prefer touch 2.1 or B&B 4.1
By
I think it´s more of the same stuff from HTC, no inovations, unlike the name of this company.
What i´m really curious to see is the new Rom from Tom.
Cheers
Whoa!! The time to fix for the GPS is much improved! I'll have to test it more tomorrow, but it could be as fast as the TyTN II now!! That is AWESOME!
I'm going to say I like the dopod version more. This one doesn't have Audio Manager or Voice Command installed. I don't see a "lock screen" feature on this either...
stable, memory drain 's gone: program memory still at 22mo after 12 hours. but the new rom has fewer memory for stockage: 20mo vs 51mo of Meschle's new rom.
this version has voicecommand. Lock screen is there, just goto the settings, today and enable the item
Its the same as any other base, vanilla rom.
Where is link for download
www.htc.com
Sign up to the club with your Serial Number and its in the updates section. Other places on this forum have posted links.
Im happy with it, I like its clean and fully tested so Im sticking to it. There may be a reason they havnt used th elatest rom like some other cooked ones. You have to remember,the people who make these roms know a hell of a lot more about them than we do.

Hi guys,

Is there a way back if you installed the WM6 rom ? I just want to know this before I try the new one.
J.
Need some advice.
I did look in the forum but couldn't find an answer to my question(s)
1 - I'm looking for a ROM which is stripped to the bone with only what is necessary for the Hermes to function as a phone with Bluetooth and WiFi.
I don't want to install office, voice command etc. just want to run a view programs like setup operator, pocket informant, opera, phonesuite, mobile shell and pocket breeze.
2 - Is it also possible to to build this into a ROM or do I need to install this after a new install manually.
For the commercial programs it's not the intention to install these programs cracked, I have a licence for all those progs so filling in my serials after installation is no problem.
To answer your first question, it is best to install a Clean rom, there are many of them around. Shadow and Faria seem to be the most popular. Have a play with them and if they are not stable enough for you then try a WM6 one, Shamanix rom also worked well. My fav WM6 rom was Berds SS_1-25. It was the bare minumim and worked flawlessly. Only my opinion.
For the second, just download the cab files for them and keep them on your storage card. There is no problem with installing them into the rom after the update is complete.
Happy flashing...
I did a search for Berds SS_1-25 in the forum but couldn't find it. Do you have a link to it?

PDviet build 19900 is clean ROM. B&C and G&C has very few apps included.
You can also cancel the extended ROM setup and get a clean install of any ROM
thnx for the reply's.
Now I only like to know if it is possible to build the commercial programs into a rom.
anyone?
Hi,
I was wondering if theres a very fast and stable Rom who only has WM6.1 and anymore working with my diamond.???
Thank you very much for your answer
That's exactly what I want, too...a ultra CLEAN and FAST rom with just base system, so that I can install any soft I want.
There are plenty...
Look at the chef's LITE/LIGHT editions. Many of these do not contain Manila.
Chef 'swtos' just released an updated LIGHT ROM with no Manila.

Hi guys, I've read the entire internet looking for a solution...!
and I'm not able to find a solution... (probably because of my english skills...)
I've just bought an htc diamond on e-bay and it has installed a non-official rom which it has several troubles: Rom version 1.37.412.2 ESN
I've downloaded the last available rom in spanish (?):
(RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.3_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship)
from the htc spanish site but when I try to install it an ERROR[294] : INVALID VENDER ID, comes up. I've read about Upgrading, cooking, flashing and about Hard-SPL, but I'm not sure to understand rightly enough, so here's my question:
What should I do to install the rom downloaded from htc?
I understood that I have the problem because the hard-spl installed on my diamond causes the problem, so I guess I should install a new one...but which one?, and if I'm wrong... where may I find the information to solve my problem? I'm getting nuts of trying so many different things...
Lot's of thanks even if you don't answer, it's been a long read!

It's not that difficult, trust me...
My personal favourite ROM which sounds like it fits your needs is Suiller's Dia Duit ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440683
The beauty of this ROM is that, you simply put all your CABs into a directory on your Internal Storage. On hard reset / flashing, a script will automatically all your CABs for you! There's also a lot of other stuff that can be done (search for tweakPers.mscr in his thread).
nice nice really interesting... thank you people for your tips! i hope we can help someone with the same problem ))

When you look at people's custom roms, usually the ones without TF3D are called classic, lite, ultra lite, no manila etc.
The other thing you can do is go to settings and Today and remove the TF3D check box. TF3D will remain installed but it will no longer be running. You can get TF3D back by rechecking the box in Today settings.
make a list of no wanted and wishes language and wait a little bit.
you will get than your wishes rom.
Ok, i must say you guys really have a great community here! It's booming with thread, updates, tweaks, fixes etc. for everything. I've browsed the forums, searched it and i always find several thread concerning the topic i need.
My problem though, is that i can't seem to put all the information i get together! I have been flashing my Diamond a couple times and fallen in love with WM6.5. Currently i have a small rom that i fight with when it comes to sms'ing and dialing/useing the phone. That's a big problem for me.
What i need is a advice really. I need a ROM on my phone that satisfies the following points (in prioritized order):
1. Phone working with number(only) keyboard when i enter a number (this is only a problem with my current rom l3v5y , 25. december). Also when i call one of them "press 1 for bla, 2 for blabla" i need to be able to enter keys, which i can't atm)
2. Texting (email, sms) working with a nice keyboard (ezinput) - not working atm.
3. Danish T9 (i'm really having problems getting this to work => i'm stuck with english dictionary atm)
4. Fast (i'd much rather have fast than fancy!) I don't need touchflo to slow me down.
5. Small (i like to have a lot of free memory) - i really don't need touchflo to hog it all
6. WM 6.5 is nice - it replaces touchflo for me (mostly because of leaving more ram)
I currently have a WM 6.5 version that has the start button and other small icons on the bottom - is that the 6.5.x versions? It seems nice, but definately not a must.
Please, do you have any input? I don't mind doing some work, but i'll probably mess it up if it's too complicated
Revolution
Ok i think i settled for Revolution Titanium
I still need to have T9 with danish working and i'm still a bit confused about changing radio, misc fixes/tweaks etc. It's a jungle!

LOL, that's how I felt when I got starting but the trick is...don't do anything until you have read for days.
You are past a decent hump at your stage but you still have ways to go. Reading all the stickies is step 1.
Flashing a Radio: Same as flashing a ROM. Just put the both files in the same folder and start the process by going to the RUU_exe. file.
There is also an internal method but I don't want to overwhelm you at this point.

With the Radios, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, try them all out for a day or week at a time to see which gives you the best battery consumption to performance ratio.
As for the HARD SPL, definitely upgrade. Everyone should have Hard SPL 1.93 (located in my signature). The problem is that 1.40 is write protected and upgrading won't be easy. Try first on your own to see if a simple upgrade will work. If it doesn't work, jot down the error number and get back to me.
Enjoy..
Thanks for the input I can't seem to figure out if a ROM can contain a radio as well? It seems i have the v1.09.25.23 radio and i'm not sure if the titanium ROM installed that - or perhaps a previous ROM that was prepacked with an installer (ack, i know...) - or if it's default from the factory?
Anyways WiFi doesn't seem to work anymore, could that be because of the radio change or the titanium or perhaps my hardware suddenly faulting? I haven't been using wifi untill now for the last two ROM tryouts - i only need it now for connecting to the local (home)network...

When downloading a chefs rom, they most like give you the ROM only. Titanium is basically the default interface and is always included as it's part of microsofts interface but most chefs shut it off and use manila (either 2.1 or 2.5 versions).
It's possible that something is interferring with the wifi and it's possible that it could be hardware related but the only way to really find out is to flash another rom to rule out the Rom Variable or perhaps it's a app that you installed. Play around with it.
Ah yeah i ment revolution - i'm using the titanium version (not using manila) - i'll probably try and flash to the recommended radio (the one recommended in the revolution thread).
Thanks again for the feedback
