Which Rom is the best?

Ok guys - since my Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 rom has a few bugs (like the volume-control slider not working), I decided to reinstall a new rom. Ive seen already tons of threads including thousands of posts so it`s difficult to find out which rom is the best.
I heard of Faria released a cooked WM6-Rom but I m not sure if it`s working fine with the wizard and if there are still some bugs. In addition to that i don`t know if there are any incompatabilites with WM5 applications.
I`ve also seen a WM5 Rom tons auf WM5 Roms - but which one is working realy fine?
Oh forgot that: I`ve a G4 Device but it`s already CID unlocked.

LOL!!!!!!!

I haven't tried them all but Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 has been working great for me.
A couple of people, myself included had a problem where the built in phone dialer disappeared, but I fixed that by installing the Iphone dialer (can be found here by searching).

First Post.....
Yes, I as my post count would suggest I am new to flashing roms and setting up 3rd party softwares on my Wizard but I must say after hanging out on this forum for a couple of weeks I now feel somewhat like a veteran.
I first flashed with crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 I liked it and didn't notice any major problems at all.
But I was so impressed by XDA Mobile 6 that i had to try it and must say after about a week using it (since it was released) I'm much more impressed, wizard seems faster, i love the interface and the post offers great insight into problems and finding what configurations work for everyone.
I would suggest you try a few roms till you find what suits you best, here is the link to XDA Mobile 6

ok guys first i've installed core 2.0 what seems to work fine but, well u know, it's like a clean vanilla rom - too clean for me. So next i wanted Titanium but it's not released yet. After looking over the programs Faria delivers with his rom, i've decided not to have this much software and installed XDA Mobile 6. Seems to work fine and it looks nice.
Just one more question: where the heck is some difference to WM5? I mean everything looks like the same in WM6. Well ok, there is maybe a new skin, and some new tones, but in the end, i've could also use WM5 with wisbar and the Vista Skin.
For me it seems to be the same sh** like Windows XP and Vista - no real changes at all.

There's a page somewhere on Microsoft.com that details all of the new features in wm6 (Im sure if you do a google search for wm6 review you will find it). The most important one in my opinion is the ability to display HTML with in emails.

What? You dont need to register at all. The first link takes you to the page with all the info, the second takes you straight to the download.

Thanks for this rom!
No useless stuff in it, really fast, very good reply on gestures, no freezes so far and TomTom 6 is working.
Not working for me right now:
-Switching through e-mail accounts by gesture
-Scrolling in "all programs", when starting it from the programs tab
-Active Sync activates itsself and runs in the background??
-"Long Press End Key" - Terminate Data Connection not working (other functions are working correct).
To use customized cities in the weather tab, you have to install the weather patched Manila 2D.exe, to start internet from the internet tab, you have to first install Opera. Also NetCF 3.5 is missing.
Great job!
Cheers Lars

Can I press the end-key button to return to the Home Screen?

Flashed, almost everything works, videos start from Photo Tab
Not the faster but it's a good ROM

My video ( in Italian language ) : http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=hp-R71Y9ebs

test results
Very good rom, not yet mesured the speed with spb and sktools benchmark but fully functional:
- automatic sound profile ok,
- Photo and video ok,
- mail with exchange server ok and sliding mail works and do not crash,
- music tab working and refresh is ok,
So the only things you need to complete:
- install .netcf 3.5 and activate it,
- add opera which is missing,
then install your favorite programs.
Very good rom.
I've also tested to add Touchflo3D but it's not very operational: not working so bad so the 3D driver is really here but some blocking bugs not due to the rom but to the actual state of TF3D make it unusable: not possible to standby the phone, some blocage time to time which leads to a reset, ...
Very nice but for TF3D, we have still to wait.

I tried 'it also ( coming from the v33F with radio 1.59.42.15)
2 problems :
"all programs" works only one time after the boot or a reset , then it doesn't work anymore ( not important ) and as folderview is soon in the rom it cannot be solved.
sipchange don't works : i've to choose "letter recognizer" after each reboot (important for me )
sipchange is also in th rom , so it cannot be changed.
i tried reinstalling the rom also hard reset but solved nothing.
i came back to the v33f which is for me the best Rom i've ever had Thank you PdaViet !!

Recognizes one misterious thing:
Active Sync its activating itsself and is running in the background??
After closing it, it comes up a few minutes later. A softreset doesn´t help.
Anyone else does have this problem? Any solution?
Thanks
Lars

I have the same problem .. however its a problem I could live with.

This does not work the camera rom

I was using Syrius R1 and I tried this PhamQuang's ROM eith the last Radio Rom. I must say that for me is more stable and usable. No freezing problems and no problems with the calendar (with R1 sometimes it didn't show the next appointment until I did a Soft-Reset).
As for the problems I have they are minor:
1-
Active Sync its activating itsself and is running in the background??

Same thing here.
2- No possible to scroll in the programs tab when getting there from the "All Programs" link.

Excellent ROM, Amazing and FAST, two issues however:
how to retrieve the DIALER & CALLER ID used on many other new roms like Syrius, etc. [Full screen Caller ID]
and CAMERA...How bout the MICRO MOD and AutoFocus!

Shame
Great rom shame Tomtom wont work with it!

What is your experience with win 6.5 build 11?

Will you please give your experience with win 6.5 build 11.
My experience:
Positives: Very cool: More storage
Negatives: Frequent crashes especially upon installation of new programs. Like I installed new version of spb keyboard, it crashed altogether and I had to hard reset.
It is more slower than 6.1.

i thought it was it was a kewl upgrade until i tried it .............
Its much slower than 6.1 not just a little but much slower, looks great but some of the options in the settings menu were missing that i was looking for but all in all i prefer the 6.1 over 6.5....which i loaded back a few mins ago(6.1)....cant wait for 7 next yr to see what tht has to offer but im assuming Viva's processor might its work cut out for it lolololol

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I am also of the same opinion. How can I go back to original ROM? Because we have changed the hard spl. I shall be thankful.

well, for me, it works great, except it doesnt have windows live and onenote mobile, i had to download it (except onenote cos i dont need it) on my own... speed is okay, not as fast as wm6.1, startup is slow, the new lock screen, honeycomb and titanium is cool, but the panel for email and text is EXTREMLY BUGGY (they show a X sign and nothing else), album and touchflo 2d seems to respond faster, theres a few bugs but they dont really show up much, the new touch engine (or watever the thing is called for the touch scrolling) is great, but theres touchflo scrolling which makes it really annoying (btw, is there any way to remove the scrolling? i changed the registry but its still there)... but for me, its okay for everyday use...
P.S according to the ORIGINAL POST ON PDAVIET, its based on the iolite rom(i think) and i DONT recommend you guys to upgrade to v12 but wait for v13, so in the meantime, use the v11 rom...

i too am trying to find a way... too bad theres no solution yet to change to original spl...

guys, when you say go back to the original rom, do you mean the version with 6.1? all you have to do is flash your viva again but using the
HTC OPAL ROM 6.1 V05 - Build 21014.1.6.0 version you can find in this thread:

That rom is from PhamQuang too

its quite good enough,.. but sending message always notify me delivery report, and get load.... , i cant unchecked the box..

manila 2.0 problems

hi developers!
i've installed manilla 2.0 on my touch find (cruise, polaris) and it works perfectly, but thje problem is that the phone doesn't see my microsd card, it says: not installed. Any one can help me please?
Moreover, i've instaled the manilla 2.0 becouse my speaker doesn't work, and i tought that i'd repaer it with new software, but it is still broken. How can i fixe it?
Thanx for your time,
and excuse my bad english.

your speaker problem must surely be hardware related so use your warranty or send it to HTC to fix it.
now with manilla i advise you to install one of the rom´s in here that come with it(3lite VI would be my choice although VII is out).
I managed to get manilla working perfectly with cab installation(back in the days when manilla got out,no rom´s with it) but i acknowledge that was prone to failure.When is built-in with the rom works smoother and flawless as long as you choose the right rom...i dont use it,neither manilla or any other shell...plugins FTW i use less memory and have all the things shells have and more in today screen....no panels,no slides,no nothing(Wisbar advance 3,SPB Diary 2.2,Iconsoft phoneEx)

ok, thanxs zed_pt, i'll folow your advice.

Notification Delay FIX

Notification Delay FIX
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I decided not to wait til tomorrow, well technically for me it is (4am). Here is the long awaited fix.
*DISCLAIMER*
I am in no way responsible for damage to your phone, software breakages, Temper flares, or Hiccups, or Brain Farts. You are freely attemping to fix the notification relay delay based on what is being attached to this post knowing the risks.
Compatible with: HD2/Leo & Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2
Notification Enhancement Build 2011.3730.
Nothing has been added nor removed. This will fix the HTC notification, especially for SMS delay. This Build is only for HD2/Leo Roms 1.72 or Higher, & Touch Pro 2/Tilt2 Roms 2.07 or Higher Do not know if this will work on lower build roms, but see no reason why not.
I have removed the option to choose where to install so there is no mistake. There is the option of uninstalling this fix should it not work, or renders anything possibly to lock up or not work properly. I would suggest to make sure messaging client is not running when instaling.
If for some reason the cab fails to install claiming you dont have permissions, copy the cab to your device and run it from there, this seems to resolve the permission issue for some reason.
This fix does not remove the Msg Sent notification that seems to be default, if you wish to not have this notification, edit this line in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"DisableSMSSuccess"=dword:1
Known Bugs:
None Known or detected.
Known Issues:
May not work with Arcsoft Messaging system, has not been tested. Only has been tested with HTC/Jayaayu (AKA: Commviva) Client.
All comments welcome, Good, Bad, or Ugly.
Enjoy everyone.

Go F! myself?

wat delay are u talking about my dear??.....is it the message loading delay in HTC MESSAGE??

yea please confirm what issue this is fixing? cheers

Agreed, clarification on exactly what this fixes is needed.

+1 for clarification, cuz if this will fix the lag caused when a message is coming in i would love it!
not the same lag issue i was thinking of. i hope it works for those guys though they seem very irritated!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641902
Explains all.

Thanks for the explanation, didn't even know that problem exsisted . I hope your fix works for people suffering from this problem.

i've been getting that on 1.66 but it's a bit intermitant. i'll download and test it over a few days and report back

Personnally i've this "lag" after sent message slow to return to home...
You think your cab can help me?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJTXefa9PPE

some how i doubt it because that is caused by the messaging application itself. I have this too and i also have the slow load issue when a contact has more than 20 messages associated with it (i have one that has 2364+ (growing even as we speak))I installed netripper's LCS app which improved it but it's still not as fast as my diamond with the default 6.1 messaging app. I've also got the slow to allow typing problem and none of the tricks i've seen help with that one.

Ok lol
So waiting a proper HTC messaging client

I've just installed this onto my HD2 and i think that this cab doesnt solve that problem, but improves the ability to type faster when messaging thread reaches a higher number, as before typing would have been laggy for me, when the message thread reaches 50+ messages. Well, thats what i've experienced anyway.

Didn't i say that without even installing it? Yeah, i did, in post 11. This is for the notification system only i.e the sound that plays when you get a text message or mms. This patch doesn't fix any of the many other problems there are with HTC's - frankly ****ty - messaging program. Why HTC found what microsoft found good enough for the last 2 versions of WM wasn't good enough for them i have no idea because that works well and now includes exchange synchronisation support for sms messages (if you have exchange 2010 and outlook 2010) and almost all the other WM 6.5 partners are using it.
In fact i think i just convinced myself to install the hack that allows Sense to use the WM default (outlook style) messaging UI instead but i will try this first.

Looking at your video, that doesnt look like a stock rom. After sending a sms I dont have that problem with the home screen freezing.
Again This is for the notification problem only. Depending on your rom, the Newest Msg client that works best so far is: HTCMessaging_Client_SKT_1_5_20143724, but its in Korean, which isnt a big deal either. The lag is still there, but allows you to type without having to wait for the msgs to load. So far no magic bullet has been found yet.

Sadly it isn't working for me
tested on
Touch HD:
Blackstonhenge 1.5 Hyper WM 6.5.5 Manila 2.5 - HTC Messaging (Client 3625,2622, modified Client by Wajk - i guess it's 3625) with Radio 1.14 / 1.15 / 1.17
Blackstonhenge 1.6 Hyper WM 6.5.5 Manila 2.5 - HTC Messaging (Client 3625 (?) edited by Wajk, new Version)
Notification in Standby (Screen off):
- on Batteryusage: no Textmessage Notifications (but MMS/E-Mail/... will work)
- while plugged into Charger: Notifications work
But as far as you did this cab, you must have an Idea what the Reason for this Bug is, can you please tell me what exactly your Cab-file does change? Im also looking for a Solution to fix this Bug, would be good to know your Suspicion. I wont take any Credit if i will find something usefull, just wanna get this working

Okay the cab really is nothing special, I have 3 rom builds, HD's 1.72 (Telstra), 2.13 ToMoUS and the TP2 2.07. The ToMoUS Rom has the Notification problem, which seems to be with the Notification Enhancement Package. The TP2 2.07.401 didnt have this issue, and the Telstra 1.72 doesnt seem to have this issue, so I tested changing this package alone, and found that the 2.13 rom has this problem. But take note, that this was tested on the TP2 on a stock 2.07.401 TP2 rom. I was taking the HD2 packages and putting it into the TP2 rom, thats how I found this to be the cause. I first installed all the packages from the 2.13 rom into the TP2 and it started happening, thats when I went searching for what it could be, and for me, the Telstra 1.72 rom and TP2 2.07.401 Notification Enhancement packages works.
Also note, I do not know if this will work with custom roms, due to the fact that alot of custom roms use the arcsoft messaging program, not the htc. Again mine is stock rom interchanging the packages.

Yea i was looking at your Cabfile. I also think that my Problem is the cause from HTC Settings Enhancement. Setting something within the Notificationsetting under the Manila Settingstab, doesnt affect my Windows Mobile Sounds and Notification Setting...
Under HKLM -> Software -> HTC -> HTCSettings_Imrovement i found some strange things:
Current_DisplayTime : shows a wrong time
DefaultSound_NewTextMsg : there was something different than i had selected
NotifySound_SupportFilterSound : dont know what it does, but is set to 1
SoundOption_AllEnableEvent : is dissabled ...
SoundOption_Intialized : enabled
and under HKLM -> Software -> HTC -> HTCSettings_Imrovement -> DisabledSoundFile : there are a few Entries, but why are they disabled?
edit.
solved now,i removed HTC Messaging and installed the HTC Messaging Client from NRG and his NRG-Roms, this one works for me, now my Notifications are back
