I've been doing plenty of research on the forums and it just appears that the best rom, in terms of stability, function, speed and reliability is the Dutty 3.9 XT. Newer versions have some improvements, but with functional setbacks such as sms problems as in 4.3. The new leo roms look fancy, but again they suffer from speed and functionality also! So as a blackstone user and one to show it off to iphone fans, am I right in saying this is one of the few roms we have which is reasonably fast, stable and functional, without coming across an unexpected hickup and the iphone user wins that round!
theres no such thing as perfect ROM
its very personal to what you want to do with your phone and in what way you want to use it and if you want WM 6.1 or WM 6.5 on it,.. especially not to show off to iphone.. i go with Miri's WM 6.5, for me its my favourite, been with it since the beginning, others might thing otherwise, for what its personal
if you worry about iphone users (kids, girls, non-technology knowers most of all) and they got to the point where they dare compare an iphone to a WinMobile phone is enough for you not to waste ur time trying to get in their limited minds,.. let them show off how awesome the iphone is cause it can take pictures, and they autorotate, and how they can access the internet when they are at a wireless hotspot, and that they can access their top 5 favourite websites cause they have a shortcut of each of them on their phone's homepage, and how they have a shortcut for every single thing on their front page for instant access (now isnt that handy, i bet you we all have out PC's desktop FULL of shortcuts ).. so enjoy your phone buddy
well if u want to show off to iphone users. do go for nrg rom's. there are an eye candy, fast and improving (lesser bugs). try photon range of rom's based on 2.1 by nrg
Guys,
I'm wondering, are any 6.5 ROMs as fast as 6.1 ROMs?
Cheers.

I just tried out Duttythroy's WM6.5+HTC Sence (Manila 2.5) and it was kinda laggy so I went back to Stock ROM WM6.1.

It depends on the rom. Some of the new ones (with higher build number) are sooo slow, laggy and unstable... For me the most stable and fastest rom is from XannyTech. Haven´t had any problem for now (using a week) and it´s almost fast as stock rom.
Guys,
Thanks. I've actually, for the first time today, started flashing! I can see why it's addicting, but it got tedious after 2 hours of playing around. Windows Mobile 6.5 has a lot of eyecandy in general, but it's not as functional as I'd like it to be right out of the box. I've tried both Photon and Miri roms that come without Manila.
The experience I had with both was "meh".
I'm just going to install Dutty's Final 6.1 ROM and be done with it until I change phones.
Thanks again guys,
Cheers!

I am using maryone 230064 manila 2.5 and it is fast and reliable

Totally agree.
In regards to the most stable 6.1 ROM, you are right on with the Dutty 3.9XT. I am on 4.3 because I am a Dutty freak. Haven't tried anyone else so I have no other experiences, but 3.9 XT FINAL is exceptional.

Is this the same as the one in HTCPEDIA's site? With Dutty's 4.3 Final or something along that lines? Because I used Dutty's 4.3 Final from HTCPedia. Is one better than the other?
Cheers.

It should be the same. It came out about the same time when the transition from XDA to HTCpedia was made.

Trend,
Thanks! I'm just a little bummed that Dutty's Magic 8 Ball that was ported from Topaz does not work in Dutty's 4.3 Final.
It just starts up, I get the loading screen, and then it just turns off by itself and I am in Manila once more. I don't know if this is a netframework issue or... I was really looking forward to using HTC's 8 Ball.
Might you know anything about this?
Cheers.

Can't help on that one, I don't know what is is, a game???. I don't do any games on my phone even though I played with teeter one day and loved it.
Hello all,
I know this topic most probably has been done to death here but I was wondering if anyone has tried this ROM and can provide some feedback on it.

Thanks in advance

Does any of this work an an HTC Hero from Sprint (CDMA)?

It's for the GSM Hero & it's just early version the 2.1 build for the GSM Hero that Lox & Behnaam are working on.
I figured it was too good to be true but thought I'd better ask.
Is there any ROM greater than the 1.5 ROM that Sprint gives you for a CDMA Hero. I hear there's a 1.6 and a 2.0 ROM for Android, both of which have Google's turn by turn GPS thing. I'm looking to get that and also to hopefully get fixes for a number of problems.
My biggest problem is the stupid HTC Audio Manager which takes over control of AVRCP from my Bluetooth headset. One ROM I downloaded was just a zip file so I looked into it and saw this HTC Audio Manager thing. I was thinking I could simple remove it from the zip file and hopefully after flashing there would be no HTC Audio Manager to steal the AVRCP controls (Fingers crossed).
Thoughts?

2.1 working
Hey guys! The geek inside of me started off 2010 with the 2.1 rom. It's usable... But honestly, you have to comply with force closes, gmail not syncing and a few bugs here and there (htc widgets not working properly, for example). Yet, I was able to see and use the new google maps, the "new" market... So let's put it this way: if I had 2 heros, I'd put modaco 3.0 on one and the 2.1 on the other, but since I don't... I guess MCR 3.0 is the best a hero can get at present. Just my opinion (consider that the lazy me still hasn't found time to revert to MCR, if 2.1 was UNUSABLE I would have most definitely taken the time to do it already, right?).
Ciao
whats so good about mcr 3.0? im on 2.2

a lot. you should check the changelog. there were several updated roms from htc released since then, and the kernel sources were released also. 3.0 is based on .66 rom, and has the custom kernel developed by paul and teknologist.
a tip: if you can wait a few days, paul will be releasing 3.1 this week, which is based on an OFFICIAL .66 rom, which will have no market issues and is probably faster than anything else before...
thanks, sorry im noob. i think i'll wait for a stable version of the 2.1 rom to be released
Hi guys... I hope you can help me. I have been using my HTC Magic (32A) for a few months now (it's rooted and I have an Android 1.5 Sense UI based ROM) which at that time was probably the most stable. There are a few problems though... The most anoying of those problems is that sometimes when I call a person, the "successful connection vibration" remains for at least 10 seconds and it's impossible to understand what the other person says.
I don't want this to sound as a "what's the best ROM thread". I just need a nice, stable ROM (must be SenseUI, I love it) that doesn't have the problem I mentioned above and if it's possible to have all the nice features that I'm used to have with my Magic... Can anyone recommend some new "magical" ROM that fits the description? Thanks in advance!
I would say to try this but its not a senseUI

I ran it on my g1 and my mytouch. It has android 2.1 and it runs really well.
must be sense?
cursorsense is your call, but you have 1.5 sense anyway. so it's the same thing.

depends on whether he is using cursorsense or not. might be an old version.
Check the dev section to find the last cursorsense released and compare to what version or ROM you are running. This is still the best sense if you want something fast and complete.

Do you know that camera doesnt work on 2.2 sense roms?
fast, stable and fully functional? the answer is : there are no fully functional 2.2 Sense Roms for Hero because Sense is not an open source project so no camera drivers. But if u don't care about some bugs and the camera not working, u can try ChocolateFroyo v1.0-rel2
There hopefully will be soon

HTC HERO
I realise that I have been relatively silent on this front, but in order to keep you all in the picture, I’ll explain the situation. Before the above happened in my life, I was working on a Gingerbread ROM, loosely based on CM7 sources. Unfortunately, I do not have time to finish this work.
As a result, I am posting the Hero to RaiderX today, who you may or may not remember from the Hero Dev scene a whole year ago. Raider is a fantastic developer, and is part of the VillainROM team. He will be working on completing the Gingerbread ROM, and I understand he has plans to get Sense UI and Froyo fully working for the handset. Woop, woop – I hear you say.

As you say : Woop, woop! it sounds gooooooooooooooooooood
I thought we will never see working camera in 2.2 sense but now I see some light in the end tunnel
Thanks - it sounds promising -is there a link to the developed ROM

i hope that the developers will start this project...i miss the old look.but dont want to get back to 1.6
I agree with you... We are waiting 2.3.3 with sense for Tattoo/click...
Haha. 2.3.3+fully working+Sense 2.1=best rom for htc tattoo.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but a Sense 2.1 port will not come to the Tattoo, unless HTC releases a Sense 2.1 device with a QVGA display, which is not very likely..

its arm v7 only and we don't have sources so it's next to impossible
what do you think about this rom?
i know its 2.2 based.its looks cool and maybe we can port it on our tattoo and maybe even change it to 2.3?
i have no clue it thats possible,but that would be great!

Dam - just popped back over to XDA to see what was available for a Tattoo someone has asked me to upgrade for them....
So if I'm reading this correctly theres is no ROMS past 1.6 for the Tattoo with the Sense interface?
Guys i think we have to buy a new phone probbly , i bought this one last summer thinking that HTC will realeas the 2.2 for Tattoo ( as they said) but bummer i bought and i had to root and put 2.3 , but i don't think that any furhter SENSE u.i will come for Tattoo.
If i buy another phone it will likely be HTC again.

I support you,but 2.2 with sense on TATTOO is slow yet,how about 2.3?
Just wanna say that there is Android 2.2 ROM for HTC Tattoo with Sense UI. There are some things left to do, like FM Radio and Videorecorder, but this ROM looks very promising. I would be satisfied with fully working 2.2 ROM with Sense UI, doesn't need to be 2.3.
