having had far to many issues with 'cooked' roms (laggy, loss of features from running the latest and greatest), are there any ROMs out there that are 'release' spec ready?
what i mean by 'release' spec is:
- proved reliable drivers (data connections works 100%, without workarounds)
- reliable software builds (eg, no software thats buggy or loss of features)
- slick and fast (Duttys' Leo R6 (buggy) and Orange 1.59 (old versions) ROMs are both very fast)
wm 6.1 or 6.5 isnt an issue, i'd *like* manila 2.5/2.6 but i dont beleive there is a reliable released build of it yet.
the OrangeUK 1.59 rom i've found to be the best at the moment - quick and no laggyness, 100% functional, and 'full fat' with AS, office, and all the usual apps.
i'd cook my own rom, but i wouldnt have a clue where to get resources from, or even how to cook them into a rom.

She is HOT! lol.
when the cab version of the TF2.5 will be available?
What??
Come on guys... the title of this thread states theme [THE]... this is not a theme at all, it's a request [REQ]
PS. While I'm here, I'll add my bit... I WANT IT ALL!!
I will add my voice to this request. While I appreciate the work that the various cooks on this site do (I'm currently using Yozgatg's Gen.Y D2 R4) I would like to have a stock ROM (either 2.03.401.3 or 2.03.405.3) with TF3D 2.1.
I am aware that Yozgatg also has an installation procedure to install TF3D 2.1, but the only problem I've found with it (at least when I do it) is that it takes a phenomenal amount of device RAM! You need to have 20Mb free just to install it, and when I have tried I have been left with about 6Mb free at the end of the procedure. I don't know if this is down to remnants of the original TF3D still being left on the device or what. Compare this to Yozgatg's Gen.Y D2 R4 cooked ROM which, after installing the other odds and sods that I use, still leaves me with about 42Mb free.
Great though the cooked ROMS are, the authors add or take away various components (which is their right, as they are cooking the ROMS to their own needs and then sharing them with the rest of us) e.g. I have flashed a 6.5 ROM before where all the games were missing.
I would really like a stock ROM with an updated TF3D.

I am trying A.Z.T.O.R. ROM final WM6.1 with GEN Y manila 2.1 R1.5..i can tell that i have never seen my Diamond sooo fast and stable (until now) i used mtty to flash i added BWtaskbar that makes also the X button bigger in some apps that helps a lot.The true thing is that i miss WM6.5.1. (Bsb rom i used),but the functionality of the tf3d 2.1 R1.5 is much better for everyday use than Titanium.That's my opinion!
What you're all asking for will never happen.
TF3D 2.5 will never be ported to VGA by HTC so you'll never see a stock ROM with it.
You might be able to install it via cab once XOR have finished porting it but chances are you'll at least need WM6.5 or build 21000 and above. I'd put my money on it that you guys running ROM version 2.03 are not running a build number high enough.
Do some searching before posting too. All these questions have been answered in the TF3D 2.5 VGA thread.
Manila 2.5 will never be availabe as a cab because , there are files which will not fit into 256mb rom (Diamond) , because manila 2.5 would not replace 2.1 , the files are entirely different so additional files need to be added.
I'm using - SUN Y 6.1 - Manila 2.5 Beta 3 by Kisja. Works almost PREFECT. fast and Stable.
Will be more stable with newer release.

It's exciting to see ROM's starting to be released for the TG01, but I've got a question about windows mobile and roms.
1)What benefits would a ROM with WM 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 bring?
2)Are there any cooks working on WM 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 for the TG01?
3)If so, when could these ROM's be released?
Thanks
my non pro view
1. 6.5.5 is better then 6.5.0 as its newer has better functions ect. google 6.5.5 and look at some screens. and as toshiba have no plans to update our version of windows cooked roms is the only way to gain better/newer functionality. also cooked roms open the door to things like having a better ui such as sense on our tg01s
2. Yes
3. hopefully not too long
Just my 2 cts :
1) While WM6.5.0 (and previous 6.x versions) were build to be stylus driven, 6.5.3 and now 6.5.5 are build to be finger driven. No more (almost) need of a stylus. Many stylus only functions can now be operated by your fingers. And furthermore in any version of WM : the last build is (almost) always better.
2) Yes. at least 3 or 4 cooks are trying... No doubt at least one will succeed. We've got some great ROM cooks over here
3) It will be available when it's ready. There MANY things to be done to achieve this. Stay tuned on this forum
thanks for your answers, I see the big differences now.
Cant wait for more ROM's now.
what is the fastest rom to use on blackstone?
im currently using cookie energy rom, i dont really like it as it's slow and the vol up/down buttons no longer control volume!
im looking for a simple fast rom!
the fastest rom is stock rom, it works perfectly, since it was made for the device, in contrast to most cooked roms, that use packages from other devices, like leo, topaz, rhodium.
the oldest versions always run fastest, so stock rom with wm6.1 and manila 1.3 is one end of the line, wm6.5.5 and sense 2.5 is the other. try anything in between to find what works best for you and offers the ideal balance between speed and features and looks.

where do i find the link for stock roms?
so theres no bare rom?
Try this ROM
depending on your blackstone's serial number, you might be able to download one or more different versions of the stock rom on htc.com. an alternative to get access to all stock roms without s/n check is shipped-roms.com. with the latter make sure that your download is really complete (in many attempts, downloads aborted for no apparent reason with some roms) and extract them to flash with a custom RUU to bypass cid checks.
I personally use a WWE stock rom 1.56.479.0 with radio 1.13.25.24 and i found it to be a very fast rom. I tried several cooked roms, but most of them are bundled with applications that i don't like or use and the 6.5 roms are simply not as fast as 6.1 roms. Tried several stock roms too, but sticking to this one for now cause it works flawlessly. Some of the stock roms i tried were driving me crazy cause data connection was auto-activating every couple of seconds, bad for battery life and for my money, since i i don't have an unlimited data plan.

...good advice...Im using it and its an excellent ROM (kwbr). Very fast and even more stable and reliable. This rom realy transformed my touch HD...previously i had Energy 6.5 rom with sense 2.5, then switched to blackSTONEhenge wimo6.5 with manila 2.1, and it was much much better than Energy rom. On the end I decided to try KWBR wm6.1 manila2.1 rom and it was the right one for me...now my device performs EXCELLENT...loads of free RAM and the speed is

I dont know what Roms you have available for your device but it may be worth adding a section with what Roms (stock or custom) work with Android and what ones arent working correctly. While Android is emulated, there are still some WinMo drivers that affect the operation of your Android port and certain Roms may not work.
It may be worth trying to flash a different Rom and then try Android again.

I currently use:
ROM-Version (Vodafone)Switzerland German: 1.41.166.1, (10904) Radio:0.63.05.41
the next one I will try is:
[ROM][25.06.2011][WWE-ITA-FRA-ELL-GER-RUS-SPA-NLD-DAN] ver 3.10 nsourm -build 29022
ver.5 - RUU_Signed_????no_sense_clean.nbh is without sense and cookies home tab and without extra apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801481
The nsourm rom is highly recommended and very stable (version 3.1) I also run this base WM6.5 ROM too (without sense and without cookies home tab). It seems to be quite compatible with the Android port as it mostly follows stock rom philosophy.
The other optional cab that has been installed is the stock icons.cab located here as without it, my SPB shell doesn't show all the icons properly. I have no problems with the Android Loader 1.0 dual boot application (set to autoboot after 10 seconds). I'd first flash the stock ROM then this one if wanting to change from another custom ROM.
you tried over nsourm 3.1 and Android works well, but have you tried over your stock ROM? and have you noticed any difference? such as. that something works better, or that something is not working at all?
I have not tried Android with my stock ROM and don't want to go back to stock ROM either as I still need to use WM6.5 from time to time - because there is no Garmin for Android! Stock ROM used to crash often whereas with nsourm 3.1 it is definitely much more stable given it incorporates more recent builds. I would assume that given nsourm is close to stock ROM philosophy (but with much more recent builds) that there would not be much difference to anything that ran in Android. Maybe someone has already tested for the differences.. and can let us know the results!
Hi, 15Ma1l,
I tried four different of HTC Official ROMs for my htc mini, and I can say: There isn't any Difference and all of them were same when booting android. and I knew this idea for months.

Hi all.
I'm creating a Windows Mobile Rom.
1)---I want to create a rom modifying my smartphone's rom and NOT creating a rom from a clean one (it will be almost impossibile).
2)---Which kitchen can i use?
3)---Where can I download the latest Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Builds? (Da-G's download don't work anymore on Mediafire)
Thanks
Try OS Builder as this is the most advanced and all in one solution. But be aware that if you start from an already cooked ROM you may face many kinds of problems because many cooks have applied methods to prevent dumping their ROMs.
Good luck!

But, to pass from Winmo 6.0 to Winmo 6.1 or 6.5, do I need 6.1 or 6.5 builds (xip,sys)?
Where can I download these build?

Oh well - you are much on your own with this old stuff now. Usually you cannot do much to the XIP (Kernel) parts as they are largely HW dependent. SYS is part of the ROM anyway and so part of regular cooking. Lookup the forums for your device and download what you can get. If it is an exotic device your chances are ~zero to get anything useful. If you have no experience in cooking it is a very long way to succeed (talking in weeks and months of learning!) - and there no others fighting the same problems any more. Look up the introduction link from my signature to get an idea of how things are connected.
What is your starting point (HW, ROM) and where do want to go?
TOBBIE, in practice I want to use Os Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948) because it's very simple to use.(I can alredy use it).
I downloaded but when I open it, I have the first screen (that showed in the thread). Is written: "....please, select an official rom update file..." It refers to an update Windows Mobile Build for cook the Rom.
So I searched Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Builds. I found 2 very good Builds from Da_G :
-6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547314
-6.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544445
But ALL Links don't work and I ABSOLUTELY need this Build, without it, I can't cook...
Sorry, I have no experience with OS Kitchen. I have only used OS Builder finally and a very old device specific batch-kitchen before this.
Thanks, Can i give you "THANKS"?
But with wich build did you used to cook?

Well first you need to split smartphone (no touchscreen) from touchscreen devices.
I have cooked only for smartphone -> see my signature kitchen and stuff is all there.
Then find a stock ROM for the right type (smartphone or touchscreen) with largely similar properties (screen resolution, maybe also CPU/Chipset).
Can't you tell which device you want to cook for?
I want to cook for my Toshiba Portege G910 with WinMob 6 Professional.
It's touchscreen, it has Qwerty Keyboard, it has Wvga Resolution 800x480. There is not even a rom for this device.
But I want to cook in Italian language, (I'm italian )
This will be tough I guess. Mind that a new ROM will not change the kernel, so any of the new memory schemes introduced with W6.1 and WM6.5 will not apply even if you put a new OS on top of it. So basically you will not gain speed with a new ROM. Adding a language is a tricky thing but is possible, see my signature, even without cooking an all new ROM. So is there no Italian on the device at all?
Oh, I'm sad for this: no extra speed
When I bought, my phone had italian language.
The Toshiba Portege G900 is very very similar to my G910. Also the G900 has WinMob 6.0 Pro.
An Italian guy made a Winmo 6.1 rom for the G900 (in italian language), and now the G900 is very very fast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4h23pR6JbI
I want to this with my G910, IT'S possible. Salvyc83 do this
(But now he can't help me)
Search for speed tweaks on WM6 if you are happy with the device otherwise. The effort to cook a well running 6.1 is enormous and it is not guaranteed if you get it faster on the UI then.
There are various registry settings to play with which can make the UI faster responding (cache for icons or fonts).
Good luck!
I need too to learn cooking roms. I will follow this thread.
