Hello!
I have seen that there are pretty many roms to choose from. I would like to ask you which ROM you would recommend installing - from the number of posts I can see that bepe's rom is the most popular, but on the other hand there are also many complaints...
Personally, I do not have time to test all the wonderful ROMs you publish, that is why I would like to limit myself to only one developer (and his roms).
Thank you for help!
Best regards,
Theriel
For me it is the Bepe 0.67 - I have an O2 Orbit 2 Pola200 handset
Very stable and has the latest Radio stack and hard spl
Read my signature!
I'm with Jibreil on this one.
I've tried Bepe and swtos ROM's but ASerg runs faster and better for me than the others.
I would choose ASerg if it wasn't for all the stuff I do not use (Total Commander - I have Resco, PIM backup - I use sprite, don't need CVSD, nor voip, nor Advance Configuration Tool - I do it manually, keyboard - I use PCM, I don't need black bars.... etc).
Except for the fact it contains in majority things I would never use it looks very good .
You would not use Aserg, so which one DO YOU USE?
At the moment? None (i.e. original). I am waiting for bepe's new release (as he said some couple of days ago that it is going to be released soon) but well... if there was something better to choose I wouldn't wait then .

Hi! im new to this and I havn't tried to upgrade any ROM for my atom except for the ROM in the o2 website which is the 20060426B1WWE. I have read in the forums that there are a lot of ROM's available for upgrade and as far as I got it right, the AKU 3.3.3 is the final ROM and is stable for the WM5 platform? (kindly correct me if im wrong.) I want to know what is the difference between the AKU 3.3.3 and 20060426B1WWE ROM. Hows is the upgrade process? is it the same? I just download the ROM, run the .EXE file and wait till the upgrade is finished? Would love to know your inputs. tnx!
ROM for Atom is like OS for PCs. ROM comes in different features, different patches and different applications. The latest ROM from O2 is like a standard upgrade only. And it has been a long time since O2 released an upgrade to their ROM. Here in the forums, there is a lot of versions of ROM that you can use. But it is advisable to back up all your files first, including contacts, messages, notes, tasks, calendar notes / reminders and the likes 'coz once you upgrade your ROM all informations will be wiped out. The latest ROM that is available here is Sir Jiggs' WM6 AKU0.7.0 WWE. I myself use that ROM also and I'm very satisfied with it. (Thanks Sir Jiggs for the wonderful ROM! ). Though its an evaluation version, it works perfect on my Atom. If in any case, you didn't like the ROM after you upgraded it, you don't need to worry also because you can still go back to your previous ROM. Try reading other threads also to get an idea regarding the different ROMs. Gud luck!
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???
This evening i'll have back my Polaris and i want to flash the fastest ROM, i don't mind the programs it has, i use SBP Shell 2 and few other programs.
IMHO Bepe's Basic can be the fastest.
WWE or ITA for me is the same, even if my english isn't too good
Thanks for your opinions.
i have tried ervius vega r0 and bepe .65 and .67 both basic
The fastest imho is bepe .67 basic (ITA of course)
Tested with the same apps, nothing to say, bepe is fastest
Thanks my presumption seems to be right.
and 1 last thing. In all the 3 ROm i have tried, when I have installed Schaps Advanced Config, the boot time became very very long (the device go in standby be4 finishing the boot)
I don't use it, thanks in any way.
I tested Bepe's standard roms, swtos's roms and ASerg WWE rom:
the 'fastest' i found was ASerg WWE's rom.
Cheers.
Thanks, other people said the same
I think the faster rom is Swtos's Ultra Light v09 .
Faster than Aserg's & Bepe's roms and more stable.
(Tested with same apps and optimizations).
Thanks again Swtos !
Thanks i'll read Swtos ROM Topic
The udK I use actually is really fast, maybe the most fastest I've used (I've used the Bepe, Swtos and some other dev. ROMs..
WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19209 build is fastest ROM at the moment but do not use one with to many applications.
Thanks everybody for your opinion
Hi loris...
I've tried more some rom(all beppe, infido, udk, pdaviet..) and i may say you that the most fast and stable is the last standard Bepe... the second post for Udk!!!
Great job guys!!!
Hi my friend i've choiced Bepe 0.67 Standard and it's very fast and user friendly with SPB Shell 2
Roby ma va in mona e parla italian
ASergs ROM is probably the fastest, but not the nicest... I somehow dislike even the Light version.
swtos ROMs, especially the naked ones, are quite fast but on the other hand, they really are naked, the tradeoff is quite big and there is nothing left anymore
bepes ROMs are in the middle, well equipped, thought through, but not on par with ASerg or swtos naked stuff.
Right now I'm on Udk Vega R0 and it's like bepe, not the fastest, but not really slow either. And quite nice, looks good and the (very few) apps included make sense...
Thank Schaggo you're, as usual, very exaustive
hey i was wondering if blackstone will get an offical upgrade to the new touchflo3d (diamond2 or touchpro2) frm htc when the 2 phone releases.
Thanks in advance
I don't think it's reasonable to hope such thing. When you look at the Diamond2 specs, it's nearly a cut'n'paste of the Blackstone's. Allowing an official upgrade to install TF3D2 on the HD would kill the Diamond2 — commercially speaking.
But if you want to get it anyway, you should try some cooked ROMs.
Exactly as clandestino_usr said. For HTC to issue this would kill off other devices by HTC. Rather annoying as Apple give out free upgrades to existing uers, why can't HTC follow suit!!!
You best bet is to use cooked roms. Once new phones come out with newer roms etc, its only a matter of time before a cooked version is available on xda developers. Just wait a while!
interested in this as well. have there been any releases that would allow this?
Yep, there are now several new cooked roms using the 1.56 rom as a base. the 1.56 rom are the roms used in the touch pro 2 and diamond 2 (inclusive of the new manilla/touch flow 3d) - My reccomendation: Dutty's V3 Ship!

hey cool. thanks man. i found a link to wwe 1.56 rom download at htcdriver.com -- couldn't find it when i did a search here in xda. thanks a lot for the help. am downloading now. by the way, i was looking at the dutty rom thread and website for a full list of features that the dutty rom contains, or maybe even a comparison of features side by side with the standard htc rom but couldn't find it --- is that posted anywhere?
does duttys do phone keypad with t9?
i read that somewhere and that put me off this rom
i went ahead and downloaded the dutty v3 ship anyway and yes it does have phone keypad with t9
Unfortunately HD does not have the hardware zoom slider. So we can't do any controlled zoom in the album using these cooked ROMs.
So there aren't any CAB installers present for installation of newer versions of TouchFlo?
I was using cooked ROMs for a while with 2.5 on it, but have went back to the Stock version for the sake of battery life. I'm not impressed by the version 1.3 on it, but I can't find any sort of CAB files for newer versions.
Dear Senior Members,
Please, your help and support are required to have WM6.1.21054 Lite/Naked ROM for Polaris devices.
Can you develop Polaris ROM Kitchen to generate WM 6.1.21054 ROM, please?
We appreciate your works.

What is different between 20151 and 20154? And don't anyone dare say '3'

My dear .. It is 21054 not 20151. The 21054 is the leatest core. It is expected to be the last one for WM6.1. You can find it in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547314
It has been cooked for other devices and the members are happy with it. It is will be nice to see WM6.1.21054 for Polaris. It will be nice from you to build it.

Yes - I am familiar with the build and sorry for my finger problems with the version numbers
You may be lucky and have some chef cook this sys in, however all of the Polaris chefs (pcarvalho here and tranminhman at PDAVIET) seem to be focussing their efforts on 6.5 ROMS - looking forwards and not backwards.
6.5 - is beta. Most of people prefer using FINAL product.
But beta 6.5 is much better, faster, stablest and user friendly than 6.1 FINAL

6.5 or 6.1 - the only FINAL product for Polaris is the HTC shipped version for Polaris.
All of the cooked ROMS contain bits from here and bits from there - hacked memory, apps converted from other models and resolutions...... on our device it's all beta really.
I agree with Petulinek - don't get hung up on versions. The 6.5 release by pcarvalho is stable and great, as is the 6.1 release from chavonbravo.
Petulinek, tried 6.5... Not impressed very much, but RAM amount is LOWER then in 6.1. Not good for me.
cr1960, any advanced user ALWAYS tune & customize MS stuff to get MAXIMUM. If understand me.

Hi Zillka - I understand what you are saying, but for a lot of work I don't see any of our cooks creating any new 6.1 ROMS, so I guess you have 3 options:
1. use existing 6.1 ROM; 2. migrate to 6.5 ROM; 3. cook your own 6.1 ROM.
cr1960, tnx for advise. I'm actually diging into kitchens and cooking, but its a little bit like "programming". I'm hardware guru not programming-oriented individual. If i can get HOW to USE kitchen (or customise existing one) to build my own rom, i'll share it. itje currently testing Touch-X for Polaris jn WM 6.1, and i'm waiting for his rom.
PS: Not all cooks like to share kitchens. So i have a little choise.
