[Hermes] Which rom are you using?

Yep, just wondering which rom are you using, and if you can, name 1 to 3 features that rom has that you like (that you give up on other roms).
I personally used Schaps 4.00 (lite/full) and Shamanix's 3.62 and now Grass 1.2Beta, sticking to 1.2Beta because that its clean and pretty much bugless.
let me know what you think! (I'll add more to it when there are more)
I used it because:
1.)Stable, pretty much cleanest set of basic rom packages, don't really need much tweaking
2.)New comm manager interface, i love it.
3.)clean clean clean! no frills!

oh really? but you mean CHT or CHS? (Simplified or Traditional?) I want a cooked rom with traditional built in too...!

Im using the ATT Carrier Release
Its Fast
Its Stable
Its good on battery

i wonder if i can flash the official AT&T Rom to upgrade my radio and SPL and then flash my device back to Schaps/Grass? any expert can help?
I found the packages to update just the radio. =)

Black Majik
I've actually resisted my urge to flash since I put on JJ's Black Majik ROM. I've upgraded the radio a couple of times (now on the latest AT&T version 1.54), but starting to think about doing a new ROM flash. Maybe Schap's, maybe vpg.

I like Pandora because I can easily customize the rom exactly how I like it. Looking forward to ver10.

I also am using the latest Official AT&T

Edhaas' D-lite superstorage ROM.
Stable, fast, and ultra lite (over 70mb storage) to only put what i want.

i replace wince.nls by CHT one
then i make font and reg as OEM packages
well.... it should have some easier/tidier way i think...
but..anyway it works
i dunno how to add CHT into schaps...coz its packed into nbh already. the method(rom editing) is well documented ....but i m just lazy..
so now i m waiting for pandora v10
schaps performance + pandora flexibility
i will be a nice mix

nice.. that would be a good mix really. the only thing is that i do want the msjh3.ttf font (a lot clearer than standard CHT rom fonts) and cantonese pinyin.
So currently I had to suffice using CE-STAR (for cantonese pinyin) and ime-msjh.cab (by Kuma) to add fullscreen handwriting + chanjie
so far it works great, and i can remove that stupid subglobe.ttf ugly font, AND still use hongkong.tte (HK style fonts).

That is a good question.... Anyway TNT .1933 Series should be out soon. Now running Schap's 4.00 Lite (but it changes too often due to the ROM comparison thread I run )

Where is TNT?

i'm using the schnaps 3.54, but the modified one from olipro with 6mb pool page because it runs currently most stable and fast with my installs
as soon as i get my active sync running again, i'll try the schnaps 4.01!

What I'm using
Since I discovered Pandora, I can't go back! I'm addicted to flashing and customizing my own ROM. It's just wonderful that we can now truly make our phone ours now and not a walking billboard for some other carrier.
Reason for using Pandora 9.5/3.62.3:
Stability
Ability to customize and personalize
Gives me a good excuse to redo my phone every now and then
Personal opinion here, but I think there's way more people using Pandora than what the poll is indicating. C'mon people! Show your support for Mattk_r and Pandora!
That being said, please don't flame me here for saying that. I've tried other roms and they're all very wonderful. The various rom chefs here are just awesome and very talented! I just sometimes can't sit still and have to tinker with my phone for one reason or another, so at least in the short term, Pandora's the one for me!

@Kazuni
nice sharing about CHT inplementation on WWE rom

and which font u suggest for use in PPC as sys font??
P.S.:
just some extra info. for non chinese users
MSYH font is somewhat "vista font" of chinese
btw, i m from hongkong too.

Poll: Which WM 6.1 ROM?

Just a quick poll for my own curiosity if nothing else, which WM 6.1 ROM are you using?
If not one of the above, please add a post explaining which.
Also, are there are any newer benchmarks available than those shown here?

You forgot "Binky11's ROM". Best I have used so far.

We seem to be getting a few 'others', but no indication which they are?

I'm currently using Faria's/Dr. Puttingham's ROM but it seems a little unstable, as the OS freezes on me forcing me to pull the battery to reset. I installed it yesterday, with 2 freezes already. I think I'm going to try another one. I use an 8525 btw.
-PB

PDACorner's ROM's have been the cleanest and most stable for me. He is always using the latest builds. I am currently using V.14. build 20226.

Personally I stay away from super storage ROMS. I don't have a need for them, and maybe by sheer coincidence I've only had 1 hard-reset for all the ROMs I've tried, whereas it seems like other folks were having them more often.
I've been a fan of the pdaviet ROMs, but lately have been happy with CRCs... not sure if you need to break out his dev ROMs from stable, since one is just a progression to another.
Stable, with good available program memory.

I used schaps 4 for ages, but I find myself more and more taking a simple "no options" rom (like the PDACorner rom) and adding the dialer, interface, and applications that I really want, instead of using some rom someone else builds.
So I guess you could say I use PDACorner with LOTS of mods.

CRC's 11.2 and 12.2 is the same
Basically re numbered. I too have issues with BS ROMs, my device seems not to agree with it! I would love to try again in the near future, but I use my device for business and can not afford hard resets at all. I go with CRC's ROM for weeks with the only need to power off and on again with side button every other week.
I don't know why but I can't seem to find others that would not hard reset on me, yet.

I have been using Alex's v5.att.161.home ROM for months now, and I love it.

i think the "others" are older WM 6.0 ROMs. im still using sleuth 3.1 from 7/5/07! =P. it's a PITA to backup data then upgrade, then resync data.
but i'm looking forward to upgrading soon, i think wm6.1 improves performance+stability yes?

Dvha79_ddt
Its always updated with the latest build. Its clean and stable. Suits my taste.

for what it's worth see my signature...

I have tried at some point just about every 6.1 rom I can find on this forum.
The PDAcorner v16 seemed good, and VERY fast, but I didnt like the UI or the idea of how long it would take me to get it how I like it.
I LOVE CRC's roms, they are clean, stable, and fast. Using 12.2 atm! with a 8meg page pool, dam fast!

For those who speak of the "latest build" ala PDA Viet and PDA corner...is there actually a noticeable difference when u flash to a later build ROM? I love flashing a new ROM but it takes me such a long time to get it tweaked to how i like it, so i don't do it so much and then when you consider that you can try the same ROM with so many Pagepool settings, sigh....i could be spending HOURS testing ROMS and just don't have the time to play with them all and at diff settings. That is why I am VERY glad for a thread like this, cause it seems to be frowned upon to compare the ROMS on this site (or mainly to ask the oppinion for a ROM)...i don't exactly understand that, why not discuss and compare them?
what i am wondering, are the latest builds considered to always be the best? i feel like there are so many factors (including unknown ones) that attribute to a ROM being a good working ROM.
for those who have tried lots of the PDAVIET ROMS, any thoughts on which is/are the best?
I can't pick one of the ROMS on the list, but i will say this, i've been on WM6.1 for a while and am considering trying 6.0 again to get a new frame of reference to tell if one is indeed better than the other for me

Shamanix`s WM6 Ultimate v2 FINAL [SuperStorage] With add on's

I'm using CRC12.3 at the moment, but I'm not all that rapt in it.
PDV has had some good ones. Does a nice clean install and removes rubbish that other ROMs leave behind. Got rid of a bug that had plagued me for months.
PDACorner has had some good ones.
Randomize had the best package that needed the least customising by me.
I guess I'm just a ROM junkie.
Been thinking of upgrading to a Samsung i900, but then I'd miss all this fun.

You can use UC/sdconfig.txt to re-install all your favourite programs that run from internal RAM. Most of the stuff I want to add back in runs off my SD card. I just keep the cabs in a separate folder on my SD card and work through them. Only takes a few minutes.
Biggest hassle I had was with contacts and email settings.
But PIMBackup restores contacts in a flash, and Settings Savior restores all my email accounts (about 4 or 5).
Now I can re-flash and be back in operation in under 30 minutes.

Thats a matter of opinion, but for me, the two that are the fastest are:
CRC v12.9 (use it myself)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392996
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364216
Try using a 8meg PP for faster speed, and using the tweaks in sSchaps Advanced config (cache settings).
Also, using HTC Home always seems to slow my roms down, I just use Samsung time.

In my opinion, Schaps 4.40 beta is the fastest!

I just tried them both but the one i had was alittle bit faster
try schaps its the most complete rom so far.

PDACornerPro is very fast and stable. The Chef is also very helpful.

This is a little bit offtopic but... is Schap still developing for the Hermes?
I've been away for a while, still getting info out of the forum (loads to read )
Thanks

which ones have u tried? what apps did u install? which apps do u load & run simaltaneously? what tweeks have u performed?
For me all the recent chefs lite wm6.1 6mb pp are very fast!

Thats a WM6 rom, in the most part they are a bit faster, but have less features, its also a very old rom.
With CRC v12.9 you will need to do the cache size tweeks (for the naked ones anyway) they make it a lot faster.
Anyway, just flash all the roms you can, that's what i did, then stoped on the one that worked for me.
Flashaholic, and a good few days without a flash, i can feel the withdraw pains

i am happy
with my signature, can you define a 'slow rom' until you can define what's 'slow' and what's 'fast' none of us can really help.
Edit also, after trying two roms? and you're sick already? geez, I flashed 30 different roms before I decided where to go. you need to do the same, unfortunately.

his CPU: dont remember the name
Speed: 100 Mhz
Ram : same as mine
but the speed of my cpu is 400 MHz and still his air hockey works better (faster)

for me its V19 Diamond Lite

just my 2c. i prefer to optimalized all windows funcionallity more than get a more speed, or adding some apps (coz available on cab). that's a reason why my rom very quickly on updated
and now i just fixed contact show on bottom, yahoo! go crashed, working encryption (thanks God for all). i have tried make a rom and i can't believe for speed, like a flashlight. but a minor is phone error, message error, etc
find your rom and hack the registry to get more speed!!!
thanks and regards...

IMHO, since the question is which ROM and no mention if its WM6 or WM6.1.....for fastest and stable ROM, I would go for Schaps WM6 rom. During that time when I was using his rom, almost all cooked WM6.1 are not yet stable so I didnt jump in the WM6.1 bandwagon.
Only lately did I try to WM6.1 because its been long now since Im using Schaps and I want something new and I want to go with the flow, which is WM6.1 roms Right now, my only choices are PDACorner and CRC's and I think almost everyone agrees with me with those two roms
however, I still miss the stability of Schaps rom

Which is the most stable among the "light" ROMs?

Hello everyone.
I have been waiting for some time for version 1.0 of Bepe's ROM, but I am now tired of waiting, and I want to finally move past my stock ROM.
Among the various "light" 1.93-based ROMs (i.e. with almost nothing included from the start), which one is considered to be the most stable? I am not necessarily looking for the one or two extra benchmark points, but rather for stability and for all functions to work as they should.
Thanks in advance for your advice...

I'm using swiftBL 7.0 12MB PP and works great. CT's version are also good. I couldn't tell about the rest because I haven't tried them

Personaly i think there's nothing better then a vanilla version of Swtos if you want a light version.
But try different roms for your self, it's all a matter of taste.

i agree as far as lite versions go, if you even look at benchmarking SWTOs vanilla V1 is the best, and its excredibly fast!!!
i just really like manila/td3flo application and as far as i know you cant install this as a cab or install it on a rom - or am i wrong??? if so can somoene explain how to>???

these "best of" threads are against forum rules ya know.

Hi,
I am working on Panosha 1.9 and I think is very good. In my opinion there is no "the best of" rom and it's a matter of taste. I agree with the preceding speaker.

It appears that any discussion comparing the different cooked ROMs is treading on thin ice. It's obvious why it can be a sensitive issue but I feel we have space to be reasonable here.
Diplomate is not talking about vague terms like "best" here, but fairly specific and tangible qualities, like "stability". Either a program crashes or it doesn't. Personally I think it's a good idea to discuss ROMs in this way as it saves a lot of time going by other people's experiences of ROMs, as long as they have something useful to say.

swiftbl always seems the most stable and bug free for me. the problem is it has manila

Rom Recommendation - EnergyROM Series

Can anyone recommend a ROM similar to the "EnergyROM Series 3.0 21215 - Manila Edition" for the Rapheal?
My friend has this ROM and its amazing but i don’t think its compatible with my Diamond.
Suggestions please!
Thanks

My only suggestion is to ask NRGZ28 to cook up a Rom for the Diamond. He had thought about it at one time I am running his right now on my Raphael and it is very Fast and stable.

I would like to have this also..
I've tested this at work some day, previous version of Energy ROM, already with TF3D2 included which was pretty sweet running and probably the 3rd version is even better.
Who contacts him?

I too have had my eye on this rom in the raphael section and think it would make a gr8 diamond rom

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511602

Hi there Sam_C.
I don' know the Energy ROM you mentioned but from what I read from the thread I think you would like to try ShaksP 4.20 ROM. It has many of the Goodies in the Topaz ROM (new keyboards and menus, etc.), is very fast and ROCK SOLID.
I tried MANY, MANY ROMs for the Diamond and this one I recommend without reserve.

Shaks ROM is stable but if you try energy rom on rapcheal then only you know what is fast. Anyway cause to our limited RAM Shaks already put our Diamond to it's limit. Thanks Shaks

Well I guess it's a good thing I saw this thread eh ? I will try making a ROM for the diamond today, but I need someone to beta test to see if it boots properly, since I don't have a Diamond (!). If anybody's interested please send me a PM. I only need a couple people that have time on their hands to download, flash, test.... maybe a few times until we get it right Thanks

Testing Energy for the Diamond
I am happy to test your rom. I had the fuze and then went to the diamond i was not a fan of the keyboard. Your roms kick ass! All of the present ones for the diamond are great but they use too many resources or the light ones come with jack. So I will be happy to test. Send me a message and i will take care of this happily.
Shokouhi

If it is WM6.5, I will be the first to test it- well hopefully. Lol, it's hard to get off 6.5 once you're on it.
Thanks NRGZ.

I'll join in for beta testing. I've tryed many different 6.5 ROMs so far and can't say I'm happy with any one, performance wise.

Well here's a preliminary "test version" of the ROM. I'm not sure if it'll even boot, since I don't have a device to test on. However, the worst that can happen is it won't boot and then you have to flash back whatever other ROM you want. Please download, test... and get back to me somehow. PM would be best Oh... and if you don't know what do with the file, you probably shouldn't be testing this

Hi.
Can you please archive your ROM in RAR ?
Coz I can't download at my workplace,just to open.
THX.

Count me in 2 lol

I am downloading and i will let you know asap!!!

Quick update: this is safe to flash - it boots fine. Had it on for 2 minutes, I can't say much more at the moment.

i will test it also thanks

I've been testing this rom for the last half hour and have to say,quite impressive for a test rom.
A few problems though. There seems to be a lot less storage memory available and a lot less ram than any other rom.
I'm also really missing a task manager,and there's a few touch pro apps we dont need.There also only seems to be one keyboard to choose from.
On the plus side, activesync, wifi, notifications, camera and all the apps work flawlessly.I've added titanium weather without a hitch.
So thanks for all your hard work and hope you continue to work on this rom.

First let me do a disclamer: if i don't mention it - it either works or i didn't test it yet. I'd like to concentrate on things that don't work. I was too impatient to do customary hard reset after initial flash so ....
Impressions: it's true, if you never tryed NRGZ28's ROM you don't know what "fast" means. This ROM is blazing!!!
- during initial setup and just after screen alingment, iwas expecting to set time zone and time - never showed up
- World card mobile does not work; it would not even start
- Some shortcuts placments was "questionable": Advanced Network Settings appear under System control applet; others were likely just me not being familliar with NRGZ28's ROMS
- Personal preferance: I prefer MSVC over CVSD
- Only default WM keyboard works; would like to see TD2 or D2 SIP here
More after hard reset...
