I think we all tested lots of cooked ROMS but in every one there is something that either you miss or extra you dont need and consumes memory.
and I suggest from a user point of view that it would be nice if ROM developers would always make a lite version more like an original one and an extra version for those who like a ROM pre-loaded with everything.
and in my opinion a ROM as such should be as follows:
1-Based on an original ROM without much changes.
2-FAST, STABLE, LEAST RAM and CPU usage.
4-Latest updates as .NET 3.5
3-A working Bluetooth ftp to receive files.
4-Original Voice command that works from it regular button
5-A Dialer that works without problems
6-May be a midlet manager.
Plz share ur opinions so we could reach an agreement on what to call "A GOOD OLD SIMPLE ROM"

The only answer you#'ll get here from people who know what they're talking about is this.
Look at the available ones
see what apps and configurations suit your needs
Download them
Flash them
See for yourself.
I like Akeo's rom, iamhere like's Karma's rom, other people like Mary roms.
I'm sure they're both stable and working, if there was one good ROM wouldn't everyone use it? it's all about personal preference. So, pick one, download it, try it, if you don't like it, pick another, rinse and repeat until you find one you like.
Spent much longer making that point this time than I think I ever have before, think yourself lucky!

First rule is to test test and test some more! there is no perfect ROM, just preferred ROMs. It's all based down to user taste, functionality and stability.
My reasons why F1NixNOver ROMs rule every single trinity ROM as follows according to your list:
1) - Based on latest WM6.1 images
2) - Very efficient ROM... most efficient compared to all others in terms of speed, storage (lite rom available) and stability
4) - Latest updates to all software inc arcsoft, .net, and htc base apps
3) - No bluetooth problems, no A2DP problems
5) - Very good dialler, not based on windows stock dialler. Has speed, smartdial and video
6) - install you own.
Also it's IMO the prettiest ROM there is. (ESP the black version!)

Hello.
Im going to get my brand new Wizard tomorrow, Im really excited
Well, what to do when I get it? Update the OS? What "must-have" apps should I install?
Overclocking?
Remove any standard apps that steal performance?
Where can I find apps to this device?
Im relly newbie at this, only had an Motorola A925 with Symbian before, as much tips as possible would be fine. If this question been asked before please link it to me.
// Mikke!
It really depends on what exactly you want to do with it. Here's a quick list of apps I can't live without though:
PocketBreeze http://www.sbsh.net
iLauncher http://www.sbsh.net
Cash Organizer http://www.inesoft.com
Voice Command http://www.microsoft.com
Mapopolis http://www.mapopolis.com <-- For GPS usage
Total Commander (don't have a link handy)
Resco Explorer http://www.resco.net
I'm also running a "clean" ROM, with a few Cingular customizations installed. My extended ROM is completely blank, so I'm just picking and choosing what I need. Also a variety of reg hacks have been done as well.
Good luck with the new device! Make sure you're reading here a couple of weeks before doing anything to the ROM.
Cheers!
anyone? Going to get it tomorrow, so help me please
Mikke,
There are many threads on this.
Best thing to do is think about how you want to use your device, and configure it from there.
sk0t's apps are a very good start - remember, the main things you want to configure are the Today screen (the first screen you see, something like your desktop on your pc), and then the apps that run on top of the phone.
The more 3rd party apps you run, the more impact they have on performance, so keep them reasonable.
This is a good thread to start with, but there are many others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57930&highlight=
This is a nice setup:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46855&highlight=
You will have to decide if you want to run Wisbar to dramatically change your Today screen. It's beautiful, but uses a lot of memory.
I can't use a PocketPC without PhoneAlarm. Other people like PocketZen.
If you want a good indication of some great software, check out the PocketPC Mag awards. I'm judging the awards, so they must be great :wink: (btw, check out their Best of collection: over $3000 of software for less then 1/10 of the price. PM me if you want it at an even better reduced price, or a free trial issue of the Magazine :shock

I was using this for a while in a beta ROM made available to me and was not allowed to share but... I just saw the cab posted elsewhere so I'm posting it here.
Very interesting to say the least!
Enjoy!

Thanks Dr P this is a great improvment on the current X-button Thanks for the Great find and sharing!!!
Thanks!Work great on my TYTN with ITA ROM!!!
Try pbar
More features, very low memory, a worth replacement (and you can turn on BT/Wifi with it)
thanks for posting this. it sure looks a lot nicer and seems a bit more responsive than version 1.51, but uses a lot more memory, I'm down almost 2MB after installing. anyone else experience this?
I've been using this for a week now (got it from "It's Right - TNT") with no issues and is an improvement over 1.5x
Can't click the top bar battery icon unless I tap and hold and programs in the exclusion list seem to open up slow, other than that it's nice .
Thanks Dr Puttingham,
it's working great on a Sprint Mogul as well, no issues I've seen yet.
It's nice having the couple of extras on the drop down menu.
Thanks Again

This is a very nice evolution - thank you for sharing.
thanks very much, got same features as O2 plus, but that wasn't very stable I think. Nice update.

Yes indeed, we owe all thanks to It's Right for this. I was testing a ROM in August for another cook (not It's Right) that had it cooked in. To protect sources I couldn't speak of it..... but now that's history!
Kudo's to It's Right!
Great improvement....thanks
Thanks! Works great on my AT&T 8525.
No problems - also fixed SPB font colour issue!
I've put this upgrade on my Jasjam with official Dopod 838pro WM6. Very stable, and I no longer have to hide the Today screen button due to SPB Diary font colour problem (previous version would make fonts all black). Well done!
workink great
tnx
Can this be using with WM5?
and still it can't show any of the pocket outlook application icons.
hummm...for some reason it will not install on my Tytn II. i'm sure it's related to some security policy; i've modified the usual policies but no luck. any suggestions would be appreciated.
UPDATE: Redownloaded cab file 3 times until i got one that wasn't corrupted. all is working now!
so.... anyone know how to map "close" to a hard button? Or even map that little X-Button dropdown to a hard button? I've searched around and haven't found anything useful so far...
since our wizards are not so powerful in sense of cpu and memory, is it better to have almost clean rom without touchflo and htc home and those functions to replace with spb pocketplus and weather, or even with more simple rltoday + some other weather plugin (without smart scrolling function)?
Hum... thats one of those questions thats kinda up to you decide what works best, according to your needs. If you really want a clean ROM, meaning standard apps and all, you go with the official ROM's from your phone provider.
I rather use specific software to do what I need than use a plugin that does everything and some stuff I don't want.

This is from usability point of view, and what is better from performance point of view? All you need (and do not need) in rom or light rom with lot of add-on softwares?
Lets see... if you have all the apps built in the ROM, you won't be able to remove them if an update comes along, you can overwrite them tho, meaning you'll have probably some junk after a while.
If you have a light ROM, if its really good, you won't have any problems with it and you can install whatever you wish as an add-on. Sometimes when you put some software thats not supposed to work with our devices (like HTC Home Plugin, for example) it will slow it down... but if you have it built in on the ROM, it works just fine. That is due to memory allocation problems that do exist on the WM devices. For instance, that was what kept us from installing the Touchflo drivers on Wizard WM5 devices.
Hope that helps you
programs inside the rom dont use any storage or ram of a device unless started
not using all the space in the rom dont make it faster really
so it's better if one removes something to put something else in it's place
because programs installed my the user does! take up storage
and of cause only ram if started
dferreira, as i can see you are using wm5. why? is your build of wm5 faster then original one (i have t-mobile). currently i am using pdaviet wm6 built.
after flashning it i was surprised how fast it was. but now after few installed softwares and a month of using it seems to getting slower. is it just my imagination or you also have that experience?
Any ROM behaves like that after a while. Maybe is something to do with the trash WM leaves behind everytime we install something.
Why I use WM5? Because that's the OS that came with our devices. From what I've tested, there isn't a single WM6 that does work without any bugs (missing calls, wifi not working, etc). Also I find that WM6 makes our device drain the battery a lot faster. So I decided to make a WM5 ROM with the stuff we miss the most on WM6.
i presumed that this is similar to windows installed to pc. i will wait for your new 5.1 release and then will give a chance again to wm5.
for sure i will not miss htc cube or flo.
what about better memory management in wm6? is it possible to improve it in wm5?

thanksss for feedback i will try to give best rom for all but nobody take inters in my rom when all install my rom then giveing me feedback then i will try to fix all bug.
I understand that you want to play to individuality, but try to use understandable icons. Good idea, reminiscent of I-Phone. But a little more work needs. If I will have time, I will set up an icon pack with fresh icons!
Nice LockScreen! What kind is it?
If you want less bugs in your ROM, then you should seek to incorporate less third party apps in ROM!
Try to simplify! it will cure a lot of bugs.
Respect 2 U! Keep it UP!
feedback
hi bro
thanks for your awesome roms
this version like m9 one is also smooth,fast and stable
but here is some issues:
- calculator does not work ( this is same as m9 )
- battery drain fast ( in 8 hours it loose about 25% !! without any usage)
- every thing else is working normally and without bugs ( thanks )
*
in next version plz improve battery life of course without deleting M2D and EZinput
try to simplify your rom and use only necessary third party application like PIM Backup/ a power controller like xda shutdown, quick shutdown/ plz add normal theme in your rom ( any way this is yours and we all are thankful for sharing it)
good job dear Mehul

hey thts right..........
Hi all, new here and interested in an answer to one of my favorite questions:
Which ROM?
I have: iMate JasJam Telstra Aus edition, currently running BlackSatin WM6 I put on it years ago. I just loaded Hard SPL 7 on it this morning.
I loaded SPB Shell on it today and was impressed. I'm still tossing up investing some time in the 'ol jasjam for a second phone....
So I'm interested in running SPB on WM 6.5 rather than 6.0/6.1 as I loath using the stylus and am curious if it will run ok on this old phone.
There are a heap of ROMs I see here, many are from 2007/8/9. What's a popular version I can install that's "current" I guess but not next to impossible to install? Maybe a couple of suggestions I can try then just in case I get stuck.
Worst case scenario I'll keep playing with what I have that's working. Thanks!
Managed to install CRC 6.1 on it. Wasn't happy with 6.1 so I went to something called:
FOR_TESTING_PURPOSE_ONLY_WP6.5_23047_STD.7z
Works fine, sticking with that. The other popular versions on here wouldn't install. I had HardSPL installed but still didn't install.
