Best WM6 ROM?

So we have 3 different WM6 ROM's. Which one is you favorite?
Helmi
Xplode
PDAViet

I've tried all, but now returning to use Helmi's ROM as I found it's more stable.
Anyway, thanks Xplode and PDAViet for developing choices for us. I know many people chose yours.

viet one is just what i need

It seems that pdaviets and xplodes are of the same build and is an update to helmis rom. I personally have tried pdaviets and it is faster and a lot more stable than helmi's. Internet browsing is faster, multitasking is faster and a lot more stable. I can't wait for pdaviets final rom to come out.

Ooops, after posting the comment, I found that I haven't tried the new version of PDA Viet's ROM yet. Tried it and found it's great. Yes, it's much better than I expected. I love the welcome screen, the theme and X button functions (much better than the other two).
By the way, the new Xplode's ROM BA_5.2.1933_AKU_0.7_R0-xplode-fixed has quite old version of File Explorer like in WM5. I prefer the one in Helmi's and PDA Viet's ROM.
Sorry PDA Viet, I cannot change my vote to you now. Anyway, I like your ROM a lot.
Cheer!!!

Im with Helmi's...
his work is the Best...
being the first....
being better over fixes and updates arent being the Best one....
just making them look like a fly over a giant's head,
metaphorically speaking.
so i'll go with Helmi's pioneer WM6 ROM for BA.

I prefer Xplode....I always like his work...

I'm using Xplode's because it is much faster than Helmi's, and because I have the same device as Xplode so I know the ROMs will work well.

really??? I'm going to try this.

PV has 2 versions of ROMS... 5.2.1933 and 5.2.2000... Which one are we talking about?

I'm using PV 5.2.1933 now will try 5.2.2000 soon. This rom is fast, is there will be a kitchen for PV Rom???

What version is the best?

Hello!
I'm new here. I'll upgrade my BA soon, so I need to know: What version of WM6 is the best?
Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Profesional R0 or
WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) or
WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT)

Best WM6 ROM (as at Jan 2008)
Hi there, I have used both of the Roms at the top of your list and I find Xplodes to be faster and less buggy and I am sure it uses less power but can't prove it. I think I liked the fonts better in Helmi's Rom but it is amasing how quickly you get used to a new ROM.
One thing is for sure WM6 on the BA Rocks!
My personal pick as at today 14-Jan-2008 is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342142
Enjoy.

Another vote for xplode's ROM. It's fast and very stable.

Xplode ROM rulez

how different
what are the main differences between helmi's and explods? i am using helmi's and am pretty happy. i would like to try explods but can't figure out how to get it to take. i can't remember if i have to manually put into bootloader or not. one thing i can say is that i don't find anymore bugs in helmi's rom than i did with some stock roms provided by phone manufactures.

You make a great point, we often refer to these bugs as if Helmi or Xplode put them there, when really they were issues that existed in the software these guys ported to the BA.
Having recently upgraded from Helmi's to Xplodes I can say that an issue I had with fonts in Co-pilot is still there, which probably means it is with Co-pilot's WM5 version running on WM6. The ROM was definitely faster when I first installed it but now I think I have installed too many apps and it is slowing down for me.
I had an issue with my marsware weather panel causing failed boots (needed to go to safe mode, then reset) after a backup with Helmi's version, this issue is gone with Xplodes.
Both versions have inherited the 'issue' with having to turn on wifi twice.
I personally love the task/memory manager in Xplodes version, and the wireless today screen display plug in.
Either Way is so great to have WM6 on the BA.

Just updated my signature.

Nice ROM. I'm running the first one with the blue Vista Backround. The touch flo cube works great too. So far no problems. It does drain the batter plenty quick.
Thanks for sharing.

Bit drain on battery but I am having big battery, so no problem. cheers

Most of the PDAVIET rom's do!
First link "file not found"
What is the difference with this one Are the problems solved?

I've asked this question in a bunch of forums with not good answer. Is there a registry setting which will allow WMP to play even when the device is turned off?

Import Manila to hp 614c??

Good morning guys. I searched it but I didn't find anything. Is it possible to import Manila (tf3d from HTC diamond) in hp 614c? Thank you

manilla 2d is possible if u have a english rom and it works very well for me.

Can you explain how to do it
Sorry for the stupid question but are you talking about the port of the 2D manila interface, running on HTC 3g? If so, please tell me where in the forum can I download the installation files. Are there any specific issues with the ipaq 614.

You can also try this ROM (WM 6.1):
http://rapidshare.com/files/165082651/614_WM6.1_19971.rar this beta but stable.
password: israpda.com
Manila is in there and works very fast and stable. The same for ROM.
ROM has been cooked by Yevg001 from 4pda:
http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=...rt=280&usg=ALkJrhigVfV9tLK4nQjO6pm00-lUGJN42g
To flash the firmware:
1. Unzip archive using provided above password
2. Copy flash.dio to SD card (important!!! it must by SD (<2GB) not SDHC card)
3. Turn the device off (push and hold power button)
4. Insert your SD card
5. With the same time push: record, mute and power button
6. After ~1sec release power button then remaining buttons
7. You will get "SDloader"
8. Do not touch anything until iPAQ boot itself (you can observe progress bar)
You have done...

Bigu1975

Have you tried this rom? It has manila cooked in right? I have the auto shutdown problem with my ipaq, is it safe if i install teh power update patch by hp before putting this rom? I guess it's only rom, not a radio update so it won't affect it, but i don't want to brick it after all... Thanks

Axlastro,
Yes I am using this ROM. It is very fast and stable (it has 12MB pagepool).
Yes Manila is cooked in.
If the power update is a just patch for ROM I believe you can install it just after flash, but if I were you I would rather wait and see if the same problem is in the new ROM - if it is then I will make the patch installation.
Yes it is only Operating System (ROM) update.

Which ROM are you useing? I am using HP IPAQ 614c CE English OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) v 1.5 (yevg001) Having a hard time with BT

Formally this is WM6.1 v1.6. I described it in post #5 (above).

re: bigu1975
Hi there. I installed this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446243 ,but it doesn't have manila cooked in. I will be flashing it again with the rom posted in the site. I noticed that some of the netcf programs won't work - they exit and report error. I'm satisfied with the overall performance of the wm 6.1 rom - it has all the hp goodies and even the camera works better i also notice far better booting times and file system read/write speeds. I do have active sync problems - the device doesn't always connect. So finally my question : Do you have any particular problems like those described by me with the version of the rom you are using.

Hi,
In general I don't have any problems related to programs. Mentioned ROM is clean, stable and it is very fast. It includes the same as HP ROM with new kernel from WM6.1 + Manila and some other useful applications which are tested and they are working fine.
I have noticed only one minor problem related to toggle WiFi using TouchFlo. It can be simple solved by the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2954341&postcount=9
ActiveSync - I noticed similar problems on WM6.1 on different devices. I think it is caused by ActiveSync itself. IMHO the problem is when you connect your device with ActiveSync already running. Then described problem appears. When ActiveSync is not running then it is fine. I hope I solved this problem by adding (in ActiveSync) dummy server and by setting the Sync time to manual. This already described, on this forum, solution protect ActiveSync against automatically start and also helps on syncing issue.
I have used many ROMs for 614C and I think Yevg001's ROM are simply the best. This one is the fastest one I tested. After few days of testing I recommend this one
Regards.

I have few bugs.
When I add MyFaves widget touchflo would not start and
Internet widget is not working for me?
Anyone has the same problem?

MyFaves it is TouchFlo problem. I don't use it
Internet widget doesn't work because there is no Opera browser in this ROM. I think when you install Opera it start to work. On this Manila version the Internet browser link is hardcoded to Opera. As I know in the newest Manila version it is possible to change the link to different browser. At this moment the newest Manila works only on HTC devices - we can't install it on our HP.

Diamond freezes and does hard-reset

Hi,
since yesterday Pocketwit was nog working for me anymore, with netcf 3.7, so i chose to go back a version with another rom, since then problems started to build op.. The major problem is that the phone freezes with a lot of roms, even after hard reset, and when i turn off the device(on top) or soft reset it (with the stylus) it automatically hard-resets and i have to do the first-time-setup etc.. all over again...
what should i do?
for an answer in advance: what kind of rom are you looking for? i would like to say a fast & stable windows mobile 6.1 rom with tf3d2 ... (wm 6.1 because wm 6.5 isn't fast & stable right?!)

You described a known problem. To prevent an automatic hardreset do the following:
1. Install an original Stock-ROM
2. Hardreset
3. Install you preferred ROM
4. Hardreset

Cheers Lycox, I'd actually been having this too this week. I was just suspecting the ROM of being unstable or my own tweaks.
Any stock ROM? And is Radio a factor?
