High time I changed the ROM on my Diamond. However there are really MANY of them and every cooker claims it's "faster, better, more badass". However, there is no objective speed test on all the ROMs. And here is my question: which ROM is the fastes though not ascetic (I mean, has at least the good, old TouchFlo 3D)? Please reply only if you've tried quite a few of them, not just one.
Start Testing.

try the one in my sig , it's quite old but it's the fastest (seriously it's the one of out of the hundreds of roms I flashed, in my opinion). That's because of it's build and a wm6.1 kernel. It's not a clean rom and it has Touchflo3d v1.
try it and let me know!

Hi,
I've tried a lot of roms and I cooked also for my old phone.
The balance is quite often the same eye candy features or speed
It meas that on the same phone the speed is conditioned by the gui you want to use...
Generally using the same windows version this the list af the fastest gui:
titanium
tf3d
sense 2.1
sense 2.5
in my opinion stat to choose you gui than your windows version...
6.1 6.5 or 6.5.x
generally a rom with 6.1 and sense 2.5 should be acceptable.
But a rom with 6.5 with titanium should be faster than the previous one.
but this depend also on the ability of the chef to cook the rom
To conclude I suggest the diamond lover rom with titanium is discontinued but the balance between features and seed is very good and the rom is very stable
if you like sense 2.5 donsalari rom is very fast but there are very few features and it's not completed
personally I don't like a lot 6.1 roms I prefer 6.5 for the touch friendly capabilities
I hope in other suggestions t learn different point ok view

Hi!
I'm owning a Rhodium for 5 days now and tried several roms with it. I wonder if anyone else made the experience that the latest stock rom from htc runs smoother (especially manila!) than every other rom thats out so far?
I used the stock ROM a few weeks and now the win 6.1 Bxsteez TF3D 2.1 ROM and this is very stable, no problems found and .... it work faster than the stock rom. Many practical nice tools are build in. Perhaps the win6.5 ROMs with the beta manilla2.5 are not so fast, but these are test roms not finals.
I test one 6.5 with manilla 6.5, dont work in landscape and not super stable. for me, touchflo must work in landscape too. Try Bxsteez TF3D 2.1 - 1.03. Works without trouble.
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.
Strange question, there is a ROM based on WM6.1 or WM6.5 that using TouchFLO2D?
I have try many ROM with TouchFLO3D/Sense2.5, but no one is quickly as my old Touch Viva!
I have try also the stock ROM of Diamond, but some custom ROM is more quickly also with Sense2.5
Yes, I agree, I'm finding Rom 6.5.x + TouchFlo with optimization for 128Mg RAM of Diamond, not like Energyrom, it's very good but too too big to fit in 128Mb.
Diamond has 192MB of RAM .
TouchFlo2D would be funny though.

I have try EnergyROM for a while but isn't so light, now I've Kimera 4.5(win 6.1) with Sense 2.5 disabled. Diamond is now VERY faster but the appearance isn't the same... Some month ago when I had Touch Viva! with the stock ROM and Manila2D the telephone was very quickly! and the appearance isn't so bad... a good compromise I think.
Do you have a good 6.5 ROM with Titanium to suggest me? Possibly in italian(really I need XT9 italian language not all the system)
Thanks to all.
you can try the diamond lover's rom is fast...has titanium and manila 2.5...is fast and i really like it
[another shameless promotion] look in my sig. Doesnt have Italian T9 though. But you can install your own keyboard (like fingerkeyboard)! (my rom uses the standard MS keyboard) [/shameless promotion]

I actually built a diamond 6.5 ROM with TF2D, just out of curiosity. The interface was fast, but it actually used more RAM than TouchFlo3D 1.2 did, and was kinda buggy. Those, added to the fact that the new and interesting versions of TF2D weren't available in VGA, meant that there really wasn't any advantage to using it.

I tried titanium but I don't like this interface. Very difficult when i want to change something.
Now I use energyrom 28008 with touchFLO 3d because I prefer finger friendly in WM 6.5.x.
This ROM is very fast, less error even it reach to 10mb free Ram after 1 day. I use addict CleanRam 1.93 to solve this prob. I wish find a way to reduce RAM cooked for increasing free memory.
where to find??
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.

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:

I currently use pretty old SwiftBL, because i like it's speed and pure look
so, list roms that are 6.1 use touchFLO 3D(original one) and are speedy and new and doesn't come whit lots of clocks&whistles

I'm using this rom for a long time and it's very fast.
But it's wm 6.5.
