It wuold be very nice if someone write a comparison table (pro,cons,features,speed,stability,impressions...) of roms actually availables:
- tom BB 4.1
- meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full
- meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE
- Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2
What do you think about?
TY Guys for your work.
bye
That would be nice; I only tried B&B 4.0 and I am about to upgrade to B&B 4.1.
It would be great to hear from the other people that tried different builds to see what their opinion is.
Add a poll, the results will be more clear.
i tried all Rom :
1)-- Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2 : Fast but not Stable else have many problem
2)-- meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE : Stable,Fast but not Touch Flo Cube
3)-- meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full : Stable , have Support Touch Flo cube but used old Build ( Original Build )
4)-- Tom BB 4.1 : New Build Based .So fast and Stable, Update many new Applications and have TFSetting Tool by Tom.U can change Button Free Active Touch Flo cube ( Love it )
1+2+3+4 ===> I using V4.1 and love it..
Cheers..!
Totally agree with capital, previous post. I'm just after installation of Tom's B&B 4.1, switched from meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE Full. I'v had before meschle O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE and the first beta of Fracoon ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest Beta2.
I'm impressed with Tom's B&B 4.1. Finally I'v got A LOT of RAM memory, it runs very fast (I'm using wisbar advance and wisbar advance desktop with it), but switched off the cube - not necessary with htc home today plugin, where I'v got all the shortcuts.
Configuration in every ROM is taking me about 2-3h, I'm after this right now and I must say, I found my OS for the next...month or so.
Tom's Black & Blue 4.1, totally amazing. Much, much better than B&B 4.0. That's my opinion. Good work Tom .
Guess I am going with B&B 4.1 Lite (all the goodies and stable) .... the other one I have liked so far was Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE (very stable), Lite version as well.
I can just confirm the above. BB4.1 full at the moment without any problems
Yes, Tom's 4.1 seems working very well. Didn't try meschle's Rom's (but i downloaded them...who knows ?! ).
Fracoons Rom (beta2) was running stable but i installed too much apps so the filexplorer sometimes hang up for approx. 1 minute...perhaps it was my fault. I don't know...
Tom's 4.1 has the most flexible tool to handle Tochflo (enable/disable TouchFlo, Scrolling, Scrolling sound) and changing finger-activation is very easy with this ROM. The only "bug" i found is in BatteryStatus: When you select "Row1" it disappears, but that's not a problem for me and i think it's easily changable with the xml file ?
At the beginning i hated the colored HTC home, but now i like it. IMHO It's better when you're outside to recognitize the differnt buttons. And Memory....it's amazing...when you start the phone there are about 29 mb free (program) and about 40mb free (storage) ! I never had this with other ROMs (anybody else?)
Vote now!
New pool started!
Hi,
I'm verry happy with Tom's B&B V4.1 (only blacklight problem...but it's not important for me)
I tried:
- Fracoon's rom -> not stable, of course, it's a beta!!!
- Meschle's rom with TF(Full) -> Stable, but i had problems with Hbuttons...think because of me (i'm still a newbie...just see when i join this forum)
- aje_fr's rom -> not stable for me (i had some problems with some programs)
As i am a french newbie, sorry for my english and i'm still waiting for an amazing french rom
There are 2 most importants things for me :
First, is that I want to say THANK YOU for all rom's cookers : without them, my artemis device would stay in stony age
Second, it's not so important to compare roms because it depends on our feelings and we are all different!!!
Cheers
PS: thx XDA !!!!!!! apologize me if i've forgotten some one
The Sweetest Thing...
You know what, no matter which ROM gets the popular vote the real winner is freedom of choice.
Having foolishly tied myself to O2 ROMs for too long to be 'safe', I can now pick from any of these excellent ROMs.
In recent weeks I have gone from an O2 Orbit that I couldn't wait to upgrade because it was slow and unreliable to a brand new Artemis that is fast, fun, functional, flexible and funky...I only keep the cube on there to impress my mates...and it sure as hell does that!
bb4.1
Hi i tried bb3.7,4.0 and lite from Meschle's.After using all I have to say Tom's 4.1 is the best
Meschle Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE LITE - all the way.
Tried B&B 4.1 and it was way too buggy for me, too unstable, kept having to softreset.
Had Meschles Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE LITE, and its perfect, fast not as much ram but still great.
I've voted for the 4.1 BUT I must say that in the last few days i had to do a lot of resets I have the feeling that 4.1 isn't faster than 4.0 and when I'm connected to my pc and active sync is working I can't do anything anymore on 4.1 while with 4.0 everything was still working
But one big plus with 4.1 for me is the camera (gps, movie, contacts and dir) is working again.
So for now I stay with 4.1!!!
Hmmm who should i vote for - i cant decide.
Poll will need updating as i release o2 premier plus rom soon
btw thanks for all that have voted for my roms its encourages me to continue cooking.
i love my DUTCH rom
hi all...
i love my own created dutch rom...
i know it has some bug but i am busy with it...
(windows mobile 6 DUTCH on artemis mda tmobile compact 3)
see u
M.
Meschle rocks!
Just casted my vote...
I must say that the rom produced by Meschle is the best one yet on my Artemis. The Artemis Touch 1.0 WWE FULL!
I like it for it's stability, no glitches whatsoever, and all the cool apps already inside it! It makes working with my pda so much fun! I tried Fracoon's rom which was also very good. Tom's rom is a bit faster, but for me it isn't as sweet as Meschle's.
But I also want to say that I recognize the hard work that ALL the wizards put in the creation of their rom's.
How lucky are we - fellow forumers -that we have the luxary of choosing between all these great rom's. Great work you guys, and thank you all!
have only tested 4.0 and 4.1 and like 4.0 way better . great rom
I,ve tested all of them...
anyway they are all great... but the best for me is:
meschle Touch WWE 1.0 lite
Why?
a) absolute stable
b) bugfree
c) perfect service by meschle
d) all in it what i need
e) much free rom
f) fast enough (not the quickest)
g) I can arrange it the way I like... latest Pocket CM and Keyboard....
h) no problems with any other software like batterystatus.
Look and read meschle´s thread and you know what I mean...
A perfect rom for me
Cheers and regards Anja31
I'm not Cube'ist, some of my best friends are cubes!
Meschle [NEW ROM] O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE
Stable, faster than original its based on! and no bugs for me
Also not having the cube but still looking good is a winner for me.
Now Meschle is teasing with talk of a new o2 premier plus so things can only get better
But still much cred to the other chefs
first of all...everyone who offers cooked roms did a great job.
but the last months i noticed there are only WM6.5 roms with titanium.
for myself, i made the experience that 6.5 "with" titanium isnt realy made for our little devices. besides that it doesnt really give the comfort like manila does.
sure...at the beginning it seems smooth, but then after u start to work with it more often u notice the lack of "power"
so, is it possibe to try WM 6.5 with M2D insteat of titanium?
or if it doesnt work because of ram...why not just go back to the latest WM6.1 and make it stable and comfortable. after testing several wm 6.5 roms with tianium i went back to joshs V15 m2d, its just faster and easier to use.
just my thoughts, maybe others have the same.
but anyhow...keep on cookin'!^^
I have played with 6.5 a little, and I kinda feel the same. Except, I like a very lite today screen (lite on memory) and the standard 6.1 today plugins have suited me just fine, with the addition of pocket digital clock.
I guess we will have to see what the future brings, maybe titanium (chome) will improve. I'll probably be sticking with 6.1.
And, to me the latest build number (at least for 6.1) doesn't mean a whole lot. So many things can be changed in the kitchen that the build number becomes irrelevant.
ya, it doesnt have to be always the latest one.
but i guess it is just the hype for 6.5 an its titanium
it looks fresh and new, everbody wants to test and use it. and here the desire for the latest stuff comes in. a lot of people forget about the comfort they had with their previous roms (speed and usablitly).
we always have to keep in mind...6.5/titanium is made for another generation of devices...our hermes cant keep up with them anymore and it doesnt make sense to have a pseudo diamond2 which cant be used for daily tasks.
I have cooked a 6.5 ROM with manilla instead and had wayyyyyyyyyyy less memory then when using titanium. I like manilla better but the scrolling with 6.5 is something I just can't live without anymore.
I guess it's 6.5 all the way!
Hi,
I agree with MrDSL that things like scrolling in WM 6.5 is something even I cant live without... And I am on wm 6.5 and there are very good ROMs for hermes dished out by our chefs.. and in my personal experience are stable as any of 6, 6.1 ROMs.. I use them every day for my professional use..
and on the proactive note since the world is going forward.. I guess we should adapt WM 6.5 rather than taking a step back to 6.1; in any case if I would ever go back I'd do so to WM 6 than 6.1 since the later is more stable...
Titanium takes really low RAM... not comparable to Manila - even my small HS++ theme takes more!
For now the best ROM is 6.1 with one of the latest builds (21051/21048) - they're hell fast and rock solid. In the meantime I'm working on the WM6.5 stripped of the honeycomb and Titanium - and it seems really fast and stable! Soon I will release it, too for you, guys

sounds cool!
@ manila issue
ok...it might use more RAM than titanium but its way more usable than titanium.
you have quicker access to main features. and i think that is what one wants...easy to use and comfortable.
of course its just a matter of taste but why should i "upgrade" to something newer which isnt that comfortable and with less speed than my previous version?
@scrolling issue
some guy at pdaviet managed to include a working touchflo into his hermes roms (6.1), without FTouch. i think it was dvha's rom.
M2D it's not for Hermes. I'm sure.
Titanium works fine in WM6.5 if you use only the plugins you need. I don't use titanium because I can't (or I don't know how to do) configure Weather for Spain cities and quick shortcuts to my favorite applications. Until I resolve that issues I use and recomend the old HTC Home.
M2D.....never again....
Titanium....yes...in one or two months.
Hello,
I am looking for some friendly advice from the users of this forum. I am not new to flashing ROMS and have spent a little time in the kitchen myself, but it has been awhile and well I have some questions...
WM 6.5 vs 6.5.1:
Okay so as I understand it these are my options when it comes to OS. It looks like the two popular ROMS are using 6.5.1 and from what I have read it is better than 6.5. Thoughts?
Titanium vs. Manila:
More detail below, but can I install both of these plugins separately without them being baked in? Perhaps there is a good, solid WM 6.5.1 basic ROM and then I could add the today plugins as I see fit?What comes stock with WM 6.5/.1? Titanium or Manila? I really want a good solid up-to-date base ROM I can fiddle with a little. Suggestions?
Titanium:
I think this looks and feels slick, but for me to find it useful I need to apply the [APR 29][WM6.5] WM 7 Titanium Project - beta6.9 mod. This has its own issues with the weather and icons and in the thread it says don't use the CAB attached, but I have yet to find a more recent version if there is one. The biggest feature I like from this is the grouped notification panel. Having all my notifications in one spot make all the difference to me. Also being able to have the view set to the top of the screen is pretty damn nice.
Anyone know if I can add the nonfiction panel and lock the view at the top without this mod?
TouchFlo/Manila 2D and M2D 2.0:
If I cannot accomplish the above and if the mod continues to be flaky I will be back to the more traditional today plugin. I have to say I am not thrilled with the default Manila 2.0 (or whatever the newest version is), but it does appear that modifying the basic skin is fairly straight forward, is this correct? Is the new version my only choice or should I say moving forward. Are most new ROMS going to use the newest Manila?
So which ROM should I go with? Here is what I have tried:
NFSFAN's 6.5 21864 SYS/XIP V1.00 GENERIC CARRIER ROM
vin's - 11/07/09Wm 6.5.1 SYS 23504,23081 Titanium+Manila in 1 ROM. Looks like he posted an update yesterday, maybe I'll give it a go.
I have also looked at vin's WM 6.5,WM6.5.1 MANILA ROMs SYS 23081 & 23016 NO TITANIUM, but I have not tried it yet. And what is the difference between RED and BLUE?
Your comments & feedback are appreciated - thanks!
Titanium comes with OS from MS,Manila-from HTC.
6.5 officially released (not for vogue,though)
6.5.1-beta
Dear Cooks, why don't you cook something fresh and finger-friendly like 6.5.X and with memory-friendly and visually attractive shell like new Sense 2.1 ported by Kimi?
There are many good 6.5.X ROMs, but as I see there is no way found to make cabs for Sense 2.1 cause it deeply integrates with the system...
Also there are ROMs wins Sense 2.1 and 2.5, but all of them contains a lot of software that eats memory...
So I think it will be cool for us to have a clean ROM with new interface and new shell. And everyone can install what he needs through cabs.
Any thoughts?
I agree. But Sense 2.1 has only been out for a few days, so I am sure we will see some more ROMs after Christmas
I'm looking forward to Benko's new WM 6.5.3 + Sense 2.1 ROM for example.
Unfortunately yozgatg has abandoned his WM 6.5 project. I think he would be capable of building us a great 6.5 ROM He also released a kitchen in which you can integrate WM 6.5 yourself, but I'm not experienced enough in ROM building
I really need a help for obtaining an excellent WM6.5.x ROM + <<sense 2.5>>
I've searched all WM6.5.x ROMs on XDA but i don't know which of them can be better for 'HTC TOUCH DAIMOND'
In fact ,i want "WM6.5.X CLEAN ROM+SENSE 2.5 ,STABLE,FAST AND WITH SETTING ITEM IN START MENU "
IF IT IS OFFICIAL ,IT WILL BE BETTER CERTAINLY
THEREFORE,Please Help Me For Finding best ROM ,tanX
simple, not exist
LOL
Don't waste your time with 6.5 it is always going to be slow
Now I can tell you what a good all rounder rom is an that is the MEMO one.
I would say this as I'm helping with it but IMHO it's a keeper.
MEMO Rom
Yes, i too say that 6.5 is not for Diamond. So why u try that?
With all the options the MEMO ROM is the best one (Try it and feel it)

I'm using the latest energy rom + cookie home tab, and is fast,stable and has good graphics..there is only one problem the free ram is a bit (18-20 mb)
energy rom
Sure, energy roms, especially the latest, are bright, fast, BUT NOT LIGHT due, perhaps in a certain way to the huge amount of apps included. Things that most people does not use. I prefer using wm 6.5.5 rahter than 6.1, but today there is no light rom WITH SENSE (2.1 OR 2.5) AND WM 6.5.5. You can find a good titanium rom wm 6.5.5 (ralpfudsion ralGT1J) with plenty of free ram and stable
Hi,
First you need to understand the limitation of your equipment and specially for the ram. On my side I have tried several rom and I have normally a preference for rom 6.5.x due to my HD2. So I found a good compromised between 6.1 and 6.5.x it is a 6.5 rom (build 21907) back to basic. There is enough ram left and I can customized as I want. The other solution as stated above is to use a titanium version of 6.5.x or 6.5. I also recomand Ormet rom the 8.32 one.
Hope it will help you
I would suggest you to try out the Gen Y WWE ROM. Its a 6.1 with Sense 2.1 ROM. Pretty stable. It has a share of its own issues, but you may wanna try it out yourself. Its got a very good integration of Sense into it with a Start Menu that the Topaz (Diamond 2) shipped with.

Here you go. Try it. Its got some good features. If you are starting out new, I suggest take small steps. Rather than taking a leap into 6.5 or 6.5.x give this one a try.
What's your idea ?
tanX of all for your nice suggestions nonetheless it's better that i use WM6.1 for HTC touch diamond instead of WM6.5.X
I INSTALLED DONSALARI ROM(WM6.5) ,IT WAS NOT BAD... , however it has some features that i want
roughly OK : WM6.5.X+SENSE 2.5

I personally had issues with that rom. Diamond does not truly perform too well with it. Had it for a few days then removed it. For instance my video stuttered horribly with it and my album never even began playing H.264 videos. I could only use WMP.
I personally think you should fall back on a tweaked 6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5. Maybe you could search for Manila cab and install it.
try the Don Salari rom dude. i think it's the best official rom n' it's very light (clean basic). good luck!
you might want to try out Benko's 6.5.3 ROMs for Diamond.
