So.. after I've tried almost every Manila 2.5 ROM, i can finally flash back
to 'Miri's WM 6.5 | V33.0' and keep it (until i get HD2 device).
Sense 2.5 works really slow on the Blackstone, no matter what ROM i use.
On the other hand, Sense 2.1 is fast and stable, and the differences in terms of speed are huge.
Personally i think that Sense 2.5 doesn't worth it, but i would like to get
your opinions on this matter. maybe i'm missing something.
What makes you use it?
The only differences i found is new tabs like 'footprints' and shortcuts on
the home page.
Have you ever tried a rom from flashmore?! I agree...most of the roms I have tested are really slow. However, I do not know how flashmore managed it, but his rom is really fast. There is no difference in the speed to manila 2.1 roms. Give it a chance and post your feedback!!!
You can find the link to download the rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598688
Download the newest version and I promise you will be surprised!!!!
Sounds interesting.
I'm gonna flash this ROM and will post my feedback for sure..
Thanks.
EDIT: Flashed and played with it for a couple of hours, and although the manila works faster than in any
other 2.5 ROM i tried, it's still laggy and not as fast as Manila 2.1. The new manila takes lots of resources and causes
my device to overheat.
For me there was no striking difference in speed.....but maybe if you take a close look at both versions 2.1 is a little bit faster. However, flashmores version is definetly not slow! Maybe...and I say maybe it is a alittle bit more energy consuming than 2.1 versions, but the design of manila 2.5 is waaay better than in 2.1 and htc sense is something that I do not wanne miss!! However it is a question of taste in my opinion
I agree with you with regards to the speed of manila 2.5 on the Blackstone. I am running the latest flashmore rom, and it is nowhere near the speed of the 6.1 / manila 2.1 roms (Topix ones are really the best in my opinion).
However, the following makes me keep trying the new 6.5/Sense2.5 roms:
- Better integration of the agenda functions into sense: the "agenda" view is great and the HTC screen for new appointments is much more functionnal than the MS one
- Better integration of emails: I love the mail preview of 2.5 (although I miss the fact that you cannot mark the messages as read from here)
- Much better Fav Contacts page, with a lot more options and and more direct access to your favorite contacts.
- The new document type is nice
That's about it, but these are functions I use constantly. Of course, the tradeoff is huge (slow!, HTC messenging awfully sluggish, laggy weather tabs...) and that's why I am still flashing weekly in hope of a significant increase in manila2.5 speeds
I'm using Miri v16 with sense 2.5 and I think that it's really a fast rom

I think the best way to enjoy Sense 2.5 is by getting an HD2
You should watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt6LHOi5Q58 and
see how fast sense 2.5 supposed to be.
We should be grateful for having the opportunity to test this system on our
Blackstone, thanks to the devs, but for now, i find sense 2.1 as a better
choice for a day-by-day ROM.

Hi Pimpdaddyd,
I've just read the last 20 pages of the thread for that ROM, which include a load of issues regarding the latest version!
The thread itself seems to recommend flashing an earlier version?
Anway, out of interest:
1. Is HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex by OliNex a suitable HSPL to flash this ROM?
2. With regards to the instruction "copy this file to the windows folder with a file manager, it may ask to overwrite, this will correct the default background for Manila and dont forget to softreset." ..... Can I just do this via Active Sync instead of file manager?
Thanks,
Mattster.
I, like you, was tired of dogginess on 2.5 manila roms and always went back to 6.5/2.1 roms. I was in and out of flashmore, it has always been my favorite 2.5 rom but there always seemed to be a bug here and there which kept me from falling in love. Flashmore is awesome and he does a great job but I was not 100% happy like I was with a good weather clock 2.1 rom.
But yesterday I put in the cloudy rom and wow! Mamma mia that is one smooth running rom. It's perfect for me. After flashing 20+ roms on my phone I think I finally found the one that's going to keep me from playing with my phone.
Please be sure to give the cloudy a try before you give up. I'm not trying to be a fanboy or anything but after being frustrated for so long I think I'm finally happy with a Leo rom and wanted to share.
Good luck.
blackdragon v1.8 is very quick, try it out!!

That video is definitive. But I consider it's imposible to get that speed even in manila 2.1 in our Blackstone
I've tried almost any 2.5 manila rom and always a I return to a 2.1 one. Now I'm running topix and it's smooth and sufficient for me.
Never a 2.5 rom will be as fast a 2.1 one, it's a matter of hardware.

Well, I tried it and decided although Sense 2.5 has a better weather animation and a "week to a view" agenda, there is no way I could put up with the lag for more than a day. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'm back to Topix WM6.1 with Sense 2.1.
Mattster.
honestly try blackDragon Rom 1.8...it's worth...cause it's as smooth as a blackstone rom can be.
Seriously guys, check out this thread.

You would be doing an injustice to yourself if you did not at least investigate it and read the comments. Many of you are not aware of Cloudyfa because this is his first rom for the Blackstone but he's a long time, highly respected chef and his 1.0 for Blackstone is nothing short of amazing. At least read the thread. This thing runs like melted butter on my phone, the closest my phone has ever gotten to feeling like an HD2.
This is the last I will say about it.

I'm using Miri WM 6.5 21889 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 18.0 as my current Sense 2.5 ROM with the Driver Pack 3 and GFXBoost but not the Mikenif driver.
Also...don't forget the Leo Patch for the driver pack from Chainfire.
Also on a side note... the best 2.1 ROM I used was also Miri's (v35)

This.
Though, looks like author is not working on ROMs for polaris anymore. Its a big shame...
It was the only trully naked ROM for Polaris. /sigh
M-Amine 2.0 Light is waaaay faster than 3LIT3 naked. Believe me, I tried both.
Thank you, all! will probably go with 3LIT3 naked
NFS...
I've tested many ROMs. I got to think that they are several HW versions for Polaris... it might be a noob opinion, but it's the only explanation i found. Some ROMs here on XDA were reviewed as lightning fast but when I flashed them on my Polaris I was more disappointed than I was by the stock ROM...
to be honest it's really a headache to choose the best rom, some have combatability issues, others are stack after a while, what I like is to have a steady rom with enough internal storage to install my applications.
the problem is I like the cooked roms tweaks but....
for me I tried most of xda available roms and I guess i will go with the original 3.19 Rom
rom that can Video Call?
I had been wanting to make a new clean and lightweight installation for a long time, because I had tried so many softwares on my Rom that it was kinda messed up. This thread was the trigger.
I tried 3LIT3 naked, M.Amine light, and another "light" Rom I can't remember as it erased it in no time (toooo sloooooow).I had tried oter Roms before, but none was really fast.
It turns out that Manilla is slow as hell (yeah, I know, no big surprise), but the enhanced menus are sluggish too. Really, it makes a huge difference. Much more than several % of free memory
.
Amine light ended being the best choice fo speed by far. I have no numbers to back it up, as the only testism daily use.
M.Amine light comes with... nothing, or close. Just the basic tweaks.
I added everything I needed from Cabs from this thread : HTC home (yes, Amine Light is SO LIGHT it does not even have home plugin!), HHC, Cube (which is fast, and convenient imo), TomTom (I own a licence) plus a task manager and Skyfire both downloaded from other webites.
It took me about 10 minutes to complete the whole installation and my phone has never been faster. And stable.
I have used M.Amine Roms for a while in the past, so I expect it to remain pristine even after intensive use.
Hi,
I was looking for a rom based on the latest version of official Windows 6.1 that is faster, very stable & has extra software as I am not impressed with Windows 6.5 roms at the moment.
I want a rom that works 100% like the official roms, just faster.
Can anyone help
Thanks

You will have to try by yourself.... there's NO such thing as "best ROM".
Extra software? What extra software?

I keep trying all different 6.5 roms but keep going back to Dutty's 3.9 XT rom. Its very stable and probably the best 6.1 rom IMO.
If you want more of a customized version of 6.1, choose one of Dutty’s latest ROMs (note that Dutty stopped making custom ROMs for the HD long ago). Else if you want some raw performance boost, choose a Topix ROM especially the vanilla ones.
Fact is, choosing the best ROM is a matter of preferences. Taste of yours may vary from thousand others with the same device. Hence, before choosing a custom cooked ROM, forget the positive reviews people give on the ROM and instead, test them yourself personally. Probably have each of the ROM running in your device for atleast one day to analyze which one performs better and finally choose the best one for your taste.
Topix 3.5 is a very sweet ROM. One version even has the weather thing if that is to your tastes. Needs a little tweaking, like Tom's Extended Menu for the start button, but is super fast and stable.
+1 for Topix. Played around with Dutty's and when I went to Topix it felt blazing fast. Still using Topix.

Feedback provided so far is very positive.
Guys i am all confused with the cool ROM's found here. every ROM's got its advantages and disadvantages. Since when i was using the Touch HD before i tried all the cooked ROM's of wm6.5 with sense 2.5 found there and it got a lot faster in the later releases like the Great Miri's and Topix ROM's in the Touch HD Thread. Like that, I want to find out if there would be a noticeably faster ROM out there for my HD2 than the original shipped HD2 ROM (1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE) that i am using right now. which is the most speedy and stable ROM suggestion for HD2 on XDA. Could you kind people help me please???
in my opinion- artemis v10
Try Energy ROM. He always take a gook look on speed.
touchxtreme for me. energy roms kick ass too.
Kumars Classic 1.9 ROM is very very fast
Touch X-treme is a verry good and fast ROM..
~-==!=¶°§ BuGGy ROM™ °§¶=!==-~ v.20.10+ is the most SPEEDY!
Rule of thumb is, as long as the ROM is running on top of WM 6.5 build 21xxx, it will be faster than WM 6.5.5 build 23xxx. It is unfortunate that most of the custom ROMs here are running on top of WM6.5.x. Another thing is, speed is meaningless if the ROM is unstable.
CleanEx for me...
and funnily enough, this thread is basically a list of all threads in the ROM section....meaning you are in no better position from before you posted this thread!
all roms are pretty fast and good, just flash one and try it, if you dont like, go to the next...everyone has different tastes!
in before the lock.
Laurentius roms?
Xannytech's are nippy.
Kumar+Cleanex are also nippy.
I did not find the com5 from energy to be as impressive as his com2 build.
In general however, stick with Com2 for stability+speed. COM5 IS seductive tho. nice and rounded rom.
Energy ROM for me!
The most speedy rom/the best rom/the most lite rom/ and so on all depends on what you are looking for.
Best advice we can all give you is to look at the "spec sheets" for each rom, narrow them down and give a few a try.
Good luck with it.

Since the speed in WM6.1 is far better than WM6.5 or WM6.5.x, Would it possible to have a WM6.1 + HTC Sense 2.5 instead?
KWBR's ROM
There is no WM 6.1 with Manila 2.5 anymore.. The most projects are on ice:
As example:

PS: KWBR's 6.1 ROMs are not using Manila 2.5, just 2.1
I still own a Diamond and tested out the Gen.Y D2X R2.6 from yozgatg:

miri did one way back, it was the fastest 2.5 todate still, i would like to see one to manilla 2.5 2012 and 6.1 would be awesome mix, speed stability and sense 2.5.
Would also love this, the speed of something like SL's Cleanrom, and the looks of Cloudys 6.5 roms, beauty and speed rolled into one.
Its really what im after, the best combination of fewest bugs, snappiest with 6.1 resource levels (for multitasking) with a dark black clean look and animated beauty of sense.
Are people's perception of fast or slow ROMs reflective of the difference between running 6.1 vs 6.5 or is it simply that most 6.5 also have Sense 2.5 which makes the ROM slower?
I guess I can't tell the difference between a stripped down 6.1 or stripped down 6.5 as far as performance goes. But a stripped down ROM seems faster than either ROM running Sense 2.5.
I'm not talking about benchmark scores of a few points higher or lower, but in actual use of the device.
Reading about the differences between 6.1 and 6.5 suggest that the operating system is identical besides a few visual changes for the most part. And of course the visual changes are very minor and wouldn't cause slowdowns anyhow. So I don't know why 6.1 would be any faster than 6.5 or vice versa, assuming you're using the same UI.
The only one i can find that is a cooked 6.1 + Manila 2.5 is:
Miri WM 6.1 21054 - MANILA 2.5 :: V 3.0 [DISCONTINUED]
Considering all other threads related to this topic talk about how there will be lots of bugs, I think miri's V3 is going to be the least buggy since its probably one of the if not the only WWE 6.1 + Manila 2.5 you'll ever see.
(or at least until 6.5 is finished and a cook decides to try 6.1 + the newest HTC stuff again.)
So before this topic gets closed, I just want to share this, because I feel 6.5 is no good for resources at all, I haven't had a 6.5 rom yet which I can use the HTC music player and do anything else at the same time due to lack of resources.
as for the miri rom, many report of bugs but lots of them got fixed, its said to be much faster then the 6.5 roms, some say that the Manila 2.5 is not what makes the phone slow but the OS.
If I can get these features working on this rom:

It'll probably become my permanent phone rom.
Edit:
After taking the plunge, All seems very good! This rom is light enough to allow you to multitask unlike 6.5 roms.

HD Tweak: Fine
BGForAll w/Mortscript: Doesn't work (Sets all backgrounds black and is irreversable AFAIK)
StartMenuGrid4: Doesn't work (No bad side effects found)
Neo's DriverPack Signed 2010: Works!! Its like going from a 256 colour Windows desktop to a 32bit one, If you try the above rom this Cab is Highly recommended to fix up bad colours and speed it up further [linky]

well but sine 6.5 still is buggy on the HD trying to make it happened for 6.1 is not an issue miris rom is the best sense 2.5 rom out there, the fastest most responsive.
Bugs are there to resolve before miri did this rom numerous ppl said it was impossible, miri proved it was not for a skilled chef that knows his way around the kitchen.
I think we need a chef that stands out from the rest
Its certainly very fast compared to other roms!! and because its Sense 2.5 its elegant too.
I would love to fix up a few bugs ive found in the rom, however I dont have the skill
Still, Its now my permanent rom.
Im very happy with miris 6.1 Sense 2.5 rom

probably this is just for the real experts not many chefs ould pull this off, miri could, but he has moved on
I'm still not satisfied with the peformance actually.
Maybe Sense 2.5 is part of the problem.
The Touch HD is a fairly powerful mobile, it should be capable of performing several tasks without freezing up.
Im going to keep using 6.1, An XDA forum member did bechmarks of all the 6.1 roms that were around at the time they did the benches. Any of the top several roms should peform really nice:

Hello fellow flashers,
What a journey it has been.......
About 1,5 years ago I started flashing cooked roms. Miri and Dutty produced some great roms which showed what our precious Blackstone can do. Those and other roms had lots of bugs, but it was fun to play around with them.
Lately, the most popular roms have been developed into great pieces of work and major bugs are in the past. It's mostly minor stuff that's hardly annoying.
I flashed almost all available roms on this forum from chef's such as Energy, Xannytech, Grzegorz, Cloudy, Miniteror's, Mikenifficent, BlackSTONEhenge, Kenia's Blacknew, Millski, Maryone, PhamQuang and Lotus, but I always went back to one of the KWBR's Topix roms. Especially the WM6.1 sense 2.1 rom, which was my longtime favorite.
So why back 2 basics?
I flashed back to the "latest" Dutch stock rom and almost fully tweaked it to optimal settings using HD-tweak, HD settings, SKtools and driverpack signed 2010. The rom is flying like a maniac and I can't believe how fast my blackstone is (even compared with the fastest coocked roms floating around). I also made some cosmetic colour changes to the slider and taskbar (see avatar) and it still uses only 33% of memory....amazing!
The only downfall in my opinion is the WM6.1 part. Some programs can't be instaled through marketplace, but I can live with that. Also because of the age of the roms a lot of programs are old, but everything works like a charm. Also, TomTom and Google maps work extremely fast and the responsiveness and quickness of the rom is extremely good.
By using all the latest roms the last couple of months (which usually use between 45-55% of memory and even more after applying tweaks) I forgot how fast this device can be.
I think i'll stick with this rom-version 4 a while and see how the development on this forum goes. On the other hand, I might flash tomorrow again as one of these great chef's comes up with with Dutty called: "the holy grail". We'll see....
Fact is: it's addicting as hell to play around with our device, but you all know what i am talking about, right?
Tnx 2 all you chef's 4 the great roms and keep up the good work!
Had an iphone for 2 years. Got my HD quite recently, came with some win6.5 manilla2.5 rom. Tried a lot of roms, and all the time had the feeling of lagginess and slowness.
Then i tried kwbr topaz and rhodium roms and the stock rom. Well this device is meant to be fast afterall. I don't really get why you people use those i_wanna_look_like_leo roms =)
And i don't really see any sense in upgrading windows as well, unless you don't like your manilla, coz titanium is quite ok for a daily use.
So now there's only three roms that i really enjoy: the stock rom (it's meant to be like that), the rhodium/topaz rom (fit just like the stock one, but with some added features)(thank's a lot kwbr), and a clean 6.5 - 6.5.3 rom (haven't really found the perfect one)
i can speak for italian stock rom but every topix beats the sh33t out of the stock rom. cfc compression of tf3d/sense and all the tweaks cant be beaten by the stock rom
My question is can someone direct me to the LINK from where i can Download the Latest WWE Stock ROM, i need only the nbh File because i will use the Stock one with diferent Radio version
I saw alot of Official ROM in the Wiki but they are Uploaded in few Pars and they are on Rapidshare so i will need to download one ROM few days because when i download 1 or 2 times from Rapidshare i cannot download more for today. Also im not sure do this post is Up to Date for this reason im asking you here...
I need a WWE ROM its good enought if its WWE Europe.

Hello fellow flashers,
What a journey it has been.......
About 1,5 years ago I started flashing cooked roms. Miri and Dutty produced some great roms which showed what our precious Blackstone can do. Those and other roms had lots of bugs, but it was fun to play around with them.
Lately, the most popular roms have been developed into great pieces of work and major bugs are in the past. It's mostly minor stuff that's hardly annoying.
I flashed almost all available roms on this forum from chef's such as Energy, Xannytech, Grzegorz, Cloudy, Miniteror's, Mikenifficent, BlackSTONEhenge, Kenia's Blacknew, Millski, Maryone, PhamQuang and Lotus, but I always went back to one of the KWBR's Topix roms. Especially the WM6.1 sense 2.1 rom, which was my longtime favorite.
So why back 2 basics?
I flashed back to the "latest" Dutch stock rom and almost fully tweaked it to optimal settings using HD-tweak, HD settings, SKtools and driverpack signed 2010. The rom is flying like a maniac and I can't believe how fast my blackstone is (even compared with the fastest coocked roms floating around). I also made some cosmetic colour changes to the slider and taskbar (see avatar) and it still uses only 33% of memory....amazing!
The only downfall in my opinion is the WM6.1 part. Some programs can't be instaled through marketplace, but I can live with that. Also because of the age of teh roms a lot of programs are old, but everything works like a charm. Also, TomTom and Google maps work extremely fast and the responsiveness and quickness of the rom is extremely good.
By using all the latest roms teh last couple of months (which usually use between 45-55% of memory and even more after applying tweaks) I forgot how fast this device can be.
I think i'll stick with this rom-version 4 a while and see how the development on this forum goes. On the other hand, I might flash tomorrow again as one of these great chef's comes up with with Dutty called: "the holy grail". We'll see....
Fact is: it's addicting as hell to play around with our device, but you all know what i am talking about, right?
Tnx 2 all you chef's 4 the great roms and keep up the good work!

Same issue here! Been trying almost every ROM you mentioned, and I planned to go back to the Dutch Stock tomorrow. Just out of curiosity, what tweaks did you do? Do you have the tools you installed available as an installer or something. Please let know.

Hi there,
Almost all the speed improvement tweaks while using HD-tweak, HD settings, SKtools and I installed SD-tuneup, Colored slider + taskbar, Wifisharing and driverpack signed 2010. That's about it.
You can find all those programs as cabs on this forum.
Good luck!

Hi _7_
I returned today to the Oficial Portuguese ROM too.
Can you tell me where can I find the Colored slider+taskbar that you use, or the name?
Thanks

I flashed back to the original Dutch stock, did the tweaks you mentioned, added a nice theme+taskbar and installed Facebook, Marketplace, G-Alarm, TomTom and Opera 10. The ROM flies, has every tool a use and just uses 33% at startup. Never went over 48% till now!
Thanks for your tip!
As much as I appreciate this thread, it hasn't got anything to do with development so I am moving it to the general forum
what eyecandy/tools are you using to make an old stock rom look good?
the main reason to move from stock 6.1 to wm6.5 and sense2.5 is the look, isn't it? I like on home tab the weather animation, links to programs (CHT), the funktionally people and the email tab ...
so my question is:
what eyecandy/tools are you using to make an old stock rom look good?
any pics & links, please.
A while back, I flashed back to the latest WWE stock ROM and thought I'd stick it out for a bit, but the lack of kinetic scrolling really caught me out to the point I could hardly use the phone (I never realised I'd gotten so used to WM6.5!)
Then I tried kwbr's WM6.5 and Manila 2.1 (no sense) and found that while it does use more memory than a WM6.1 ROM does (37% after a softboot), I've not seen it over 50% unless I've a few apps running at the same time. And I've got my kinetic scrolling back
Out of curiosity, how much difference does Neo's driverpack actually make to the stock ROM as I was led to believe it only made a noticeable difference to those using Sense 2.5 which used the graphics-side a lot more?
Well.......after using the modified stock rom for a couple of weeks I could not resist trying some newly coocked roms.
I found a rom that really meets my expectations and needs:
[ROM][WWE][10-Jul-10] Cloudy 0.4 (WM6.1)
Try and see 4 yourself!
Greetz!
Barebone
Have you tried [ROM][WWE][WM 6.1][Jun 24]Barebone 2.6 ?
Very fast ROM with all the useless stuff removed. Much faster than stock ROM in my experience.
