ROM Situation?

Hi,
I was active in the BA forum about a year ago, and have some free time now so would like to get my BA working again
When I was here last helmi had just released his first 6.0 rom. Could anyone advise me about how the ROMs have improved since then, i.e. improvements between 6.0 - 6.1 - 6.5, and recommend which version to install?
I'm mainly looking for stability and a clean and well organised interface. I tried a ROM just now out of curiosity and found it was completely messed up with coverflow picture viewers, oversized task managers etc. which did not look good.
Thanks for any help, or just general ROM discussion
hardingt0110

maybe i will recook latest 6.1
if you really look for stability do not try WM 6.5, about the speed the 6.5 roms are quite fast
i personally use 6.5 because i can handle the crashes here and there, but it is possible you never encounter a crach on 6.5
WM6.5 is still in beta stage thats why you may encounter bugs ...
try for yourself, i recomend if you use your device on daily basis and not just for toy use 6.1 until 6.5 becomes RTM

wm6.1 build 21032 or 21038 are waiting for ya

Cheers for the help
So which ROM would you guys reccomend for my requirements of fewest bugs / cleanest interface? I guess imatrix you were talking about xtreme's ROMS there, or sun_dreams?
@xplode: once wm6.5 is stable, will it have any improvements over 6.1? Would I be better with a 6.0 over 6.1 for that matter? That would be great if you could make a new version of 6.1
Thanks

I for once don't agree with you! LOL Well I use R3 Your Creation... on a daily basis and beat the cheet out of it, and have had very few crashes... So... C'mon mate, trust your work Its going great. Getting ready to flash R5.1 . I just need to sync phone first. I had to re-format my pc and haven't installed Outlook yet, so, till I can find my Office CD and can Sync my contact I won't be flashing. Oh... I hate moving... Still have 1/2 my stuff in boxes and can't remember what is where.
@ hardingt0110: I can suggest Swampy's WM6.1 : BA_M2D_CE_OS_5220275__Build_20275.1.3.3_V3 I used it for quite a while, still have it on one of my other BA's and to me, it was pretty featured and stable. Use it with his ExtROM.
If you read a little on the top 10 threads, you will find most answers to your questions about 6.0 vrs .1 and .5
Happy Flashing!
@ Explode: Like I said, I haven't flashed 6.5 R5.1 yet, but just from what you've wrote, I can already say... Thank You! You've really put your time into this last ROM. My Respects to you and all the other great cookers.
@ Swampy: You've been a little quiet my friend. Waiting to see what's New @ Swamps Cooking
@ markanthonypr: Edit your signature lazy boy, you don't have a "working Tornado" anymore LOL
@ Rafyvitto: Thanks for suggesting BA its all your fault LOL

I will always try latest ROM, though I know it could be buggy, but I feel we are the persons to give true feedback to developers to resolve build related issues and finally make them solid. Developers are working for us and we should help them by pointing out bugs in decent ways ( not discouraging ways) I have installed xplode's 6.5.1

I'm totally agreed with that!
I tried Swampy's M2D CE_OS_5.2.20931, its fast but the folders are not really organized. I'm currently using xplode's Build 19209; slower but stable and looks pretty official.
Cheers to ROM developers!

@xplode,
You know mark is right, right? You should have more trust in your work buddy!! Your roms are normally great with a few bugs here and there.
@ hardingt0110
If I were you, I would jump directly to WM6.5. markanthonypr is right on the money... I use 6.5 for daily use and I beat it like a rented mule without any issues. I have had to do a series or SR in the past week, but it is not because of the rom itself but rather because of the latest release of PointUI2, which for some reason is buggy as hell. I uninstalled it and everything is back to normal. Try it, you may like it...
@ mark
Moving is always a pain in the a$$. Don't feel bad though, I moved about 2 years ago and I still have half of my stuff packed in boxes.

Thanks for all the help guys, you've saved me hours of ROM trying and the associated risks in flashing
I think I will try xplode's R5.1, as the screenshots of the interface look pretty neat. How does the honeycomb interface work? It always looks slightly too big for the screen?
Has anyone got any reccomendations for interface enhancements for wm6.5? S2P http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417511 looks a lot nicer than WMP along with all the other apps by A_C.
Thanks
EDIT: What are the fixed themes next to the ROM download? do I need these if I download the fixed rom?

The apps enhancements are really up to personal taste... Here's what I normally have
Main UI: Varies but currently using PointUI 2 Free v 2.018b (later releases are too buggy)
Music Player: S2P
Lock Program: either S2U2 or ThrottleLock
Browser: NetFront Browser Concept 3.5 and Iris Browser (both are light, pretty fast, and Iris can use true Flv video (youtube and such))
Contact Manager: Pocket CM
Keyboard: PCM keyboard
Mail Management: I use the stock Pocket Outlook. However, Flexmail isn't bad either (not free though)
Video Player: Either CorePlayer or TCPMP
Picture Viewer: S2P
Games: A bunch!!
GPS Program: IGo 6 (will change it to Google Navigate eventually, but this one works rather well).
Calendar: Thumbcal (not free)

Thanks i will look into those
By the way I figured out that the honeycomb scrolls
I still don't know what those fixed themes are :S can I still use my own background in wm6.5?

yes of course you can use customized backgrounds. if you pick a qvga jpg picture, open it with "pictures and videos" you can set it as today background and select transparency, that also makes it the start menu background and those abstract pictures, general dark background with colorful lightplay looks wonderful. i already tried a lot of custom backgrounds and can't even decide with which to go permanently. i wouldn't recommend .tsk today themes though, they didn't just change the title bar and menu bar, which i expected, they took away all the finger friendlyness and put back the ugly old menus and scrollbars.

I am switching back to 6.1

MOD! please move to Vogue Upgrading Forum!
I just installed 6.5, but I think I am going back to 6.1
CONS
MD2 is far superior in every way, especially when it comes to email, you can view headers and check multiple accounts quickly, it is much nicer too.
I hate the fact that I cant quickly access my recently used programs.
PROS
it feels a bit faster
Bottom Line
I really think that 6.5 is no big deal, just a bit of eye candy, its funny how microsoft paid big bucks for fashion designers to design some themes instead of investing a couple of thousand dollars for a decent UI expert, they never cease to amaze me with their stupidity.
it is a shame that everybody is going along with it, as if this is the next big thing, it is really a very small baby step. MD2 not to speak of MD3 are far superior in every way.
Have I missed something? What do you guys think?

Which version of 6.5 did you install? The one nfsfan cooked up has m2d in it and thats what iam using... 6.5 w/ m2d as the GUI... i have noticed everything on my phone seems much easier/faster to work. No way id go back to 6.1...

Really? I am gonna try this. Last time I tried 6.5, I did not see M2D

just try nfsfans v8 6.5 rom, if that isnt a good enough reason for you to keep 6.5, then you need to switch to a crackberry

yup... under the today options...uncheck the default and check touchflo...
I didnt like the 6.5 gui either and went straight back to m2d in the options. Just updated to v8 for 6.5 a few moments ago and the options are there... I believe nfsfan had it in is roms for the last few versions...

I use his rom, but MD2 is buggy in 6.5 (i tried v8 too)

I loved his ROM , it's best of both world, but i mainly use M2D , and also SPB Shell 3 , switch it back and forth.

I switched back to 6.1 simply because I hated 6.5's UI on the Today screen.

Buggy in which way? Can you eleborate?
I was using v6 r2 for almost two weeks and it was rock solid...then i switched over to v8 just the other day and again.... rock solid. If you find it "buggy" in his release you should make note of it so he can work on it and try and resolve those issues...
Personally it feels like m2d w6.1 but faster and more stable. Launching Garmin would take some time before hand, and now with 6.5, is 10x faster...

i dont particularly like the large icon start menu. is there anyway to change it to a smaller view of the icons?

I went back to 6.1.
Slingbox Mobile looks like ass using 6.5 unless I disabled both the 6.5 GUI and M2D. It's a big deal for me cause I use Sling a lot. Memory issues somewhere.
Other than that, I think 6.5 with M2D worked pretty good.

I don't know when you encountered that screen glitch, but I experienced a similar issue with NFSFAN's 6.5 rom after I changed themes. A soft reset always cleared up the problem for me.

What versions are you using?
Slingplayer mobile currently has these version that were just released
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Pocket PC 1.6.0.114 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Windows Smartphone 1.6.0.62 (US)
* SlingPlayer Mobile for Palm OS 1.00.22 (US)
* Windows Mobile Downloads (UK)
As for an application not working correctly with a pre-release version of WinMO, thats hardly the Chefs fault as the Application might not have a version to even look at yet let alone develop for
What versions of WinMO 6.5 have you tried - different Chefs utilize different kitchens and different items and tweaks as well so without trying all of them you really dont know if one wouldnt work or all wouldnt
Up to you if you want the time to spend with it I dont use it as if I want to watch television, I watch it, if Im out and cant watch some show or event, well thats what bittorrent or hulu is for LOL

have to agree here - thats an incompatible version of some theme on that ROM
Have seen it a few times myself, not the ROM thats for sure as it didnt occur when you first flashed and used the device, just after something was installed

Is WM6.5 worth an upgrade?

This question has been bothering me for a while now as there is nothing wrong with my current build rom with 6.1. I have been wondering if it is worth upgrading to 6.5 (apart from testing/ hassle of reinstalling all my applications).
Apart from the UI change are there any other noticable differences worth the upgrade? Would you say the 6.5 brings new life to the device (because of the UI) or are there other changes such as the way it manages the battery, gps etc.
I hear there is a small performance hit but that is understandable to power all the new ui but apart from that the new cooked up roms are pretty much there in terms of a near perfect rom.

The only things I noticed and found useful are better finger-scrolling (however, I can't select or drag&drop icons in Total commander when scrollbar is visible) and larger menus. No big changes, still "just Windows mobile".

Just like with any software upgrade, generally it's worth it - you get new features and bugfixes, etc... Likewise, the downside is higher resource utilization and new bugs What's of more value in your universe?
The answer is... 47.
You'll have to try it and then you'll find an answer that you may like better.

No!
The answer is 42!!!
Know the facts...

i think i know exactly what you mean, oh well i will have a look tonight at the 6.5 roms and see what has been cooked up. Who knows i may like it.
Does the touchflo work on 6.5 or does it use the default windows system?

I think that Duttys 6.5 ROM includes TF3D 2.5 - the latest - but don't quote me.

TF3D (ver 2.0 and 2.1) works with WM 6.5. if you don't want/like TF3D, there are several cooked ROMs that exclude TF3D.

Definately flash this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524032, i did a couple of months ago and been updating regularly, the speed difference is awesome.

I have had major issues with battery life since I upgraded to the new SPL and WM 6.5.
I have noticed no less than a 40% decrease in battery life standby and talk time.
I have tried to go back to wm6.1 but still have the same issue so maybe its something to do with the SPL level?
Is there an easy way to go back to the original factory load? (warranty load)

i think the 6.5 interface is awful, with icons spread all over the place. Not clean at all. i think its a step backwards. dutty 3.9 is my fav rom

I tried it out last night for a few hours and i have to say with the HTC touch flo and other things there is not much difference really to make me want to stick with 6.5. Ok there is a new menu system and the windows have a little ui improvement. Other than that its all the same + with the new bugs that xda devs are dealing with.
I am too going to stick with 6.1 as its been out longer and more bugs have been ironed out.
If it had some worth while features apart from ui i would give it a longer try and post bugs to chefs etc but its hard to test and continue using my phone, especially when i use constantly for call, txt, email,web and gps. It takes ages to reinstall all my apps and apply config.

i say it is worth it....... i hav the energyrom which in my own opinion is the best...... energyrom 6.5 with titunium

The only interest would be to access the "settings" menu in 2 clicks.
But I hate titanium and their ugly honeycomb menus.
I stay on Manila.
So for me : no interest.

i tried it and got a little confused with the menus as i did not know where anything was, the new menu system is also finger friendly but a sure waste of space.

I agree, step backward's,like it's been changed,just for changes sake.

But you can organize them, using reSTART or do it manually

Ok then,an organized bunch of icon's all over the place.
6.5 seems to me,to be trying to appeal to both finger and stylus camp's,and doing neither particularly well.......TF3D on 6.1 is far better compromise for finger and stylus imo.
I use WM because I like the vastly larger amount of info that can be viewed and used on screen that stylus use afford's,bloating the size of menu's for finger use like in the app drop down menu's so that I have to scroll to find what I want and move twice as far up the screen because of the oversized space's,is not what I want....thus backward's step for me.

There's also a CAB makes the menu smaller too.

No doubt,probably will be one to give back the list start menu also.......question is "is WM6.5 worth the upgrade"
If they had gone back to pre WM5 volatile storage,and sped it up 50% it would for me,as it stand's,it's just the same 6.1/6/5 OS with a few more changes

Is there a way to change the start menu in wm6.5 back to 6.1 style? I like the scrolling and a few little effects but apart from the ui i do not see it worthwhile.
Its good to have something new and playwith but from the roms being released, the bugs still need to be ironed out.

Which is better, wm6.1 or wm6.5 ?

Does it worth upgrading from wm6.1 to wm6.5 ?
Or should we stick to wm6.1 ?
The wm6.5 interface looks nice, but I don't know whether it is buggy.
And I don't want a honeycomb start menu!!!

6.5 is imo way better than 6.1, I really like the startmenu and the lockscreen (now I don't need to install S2U2 anymore). It's not sluggish at all for me and I haven't discovered any bug(s) yet.

6.5 is much better if you compare to 6.1.
I know Microsoft does not give, as pexpected in 6.5, but TD2 is designed for 6.5. So no second thoughts.
Thanks.

Yes between 6.1 and 6.5, 6.5 is much userfriendly and touch friendly, good looking, but the original ROM that came with is much better, now with official 6.5 I have to restart the phone everyday and hang some apps like Live Messenger.

only downside is the honeycomb menu. admitedly it sucks and i don't know how to change it yet.
on the other hand though, its a much quicker, sleaker and overall better feeling OS. I say upgrade

Thank you for all the comments!
I thought wm6.1 would be better. (Glad that I was wrong)
The wm 6.5 sounds good! Mm...tempting...!!!
But the honeycomb start menu is still problem I think it looks untidy and I've seen people trying to arrange the icons. Troublesome. Maybe I will upgrade my TD2 until someone finds a way to change the honeycomb start menu.
One question, is there TF3D in wm6.5?
Thanks.

I have had roms with WM6.5 on before. There aren't many differences to my mind between this and WM6.1. There are just a few aesthetics. Other than that, there aren't any appreciable benefits.
The other thing is with the HTC upgrade WM6.5, this is based on Manila 2.1. I use and prefer Manila 2.0. Basically, 2.0 can show the next couple of weeks of appointments on your home screen. Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 only give you today and tomorrow. That's a show stopper for me in itself! Therefore, I'm sticking with the stock rom with 6.1. I did try ESSential (or something like that) which is based on the stock rom with 6.1 and manila 2.0. This was quite good in terms of speed/memory/stability, but there were a couple of bits that I didn't like, so reverted back to the stock rom. There is plenty of ram available on the TD2 and the stock 6.1 rom is very stable....

Having not installed it myself, that is the overall impression I am getting from this forum. If the Bluetooth had been fixed so that I could use it as an external modem, I would upgrade. Otherwise it seems a sort of 'sidegrade'.

That was my impression too based on the 6.5 ROM I tried a while back (I can say that safely now I see others are "coming out" too!). I think 6.1 and 6.5 are closely related underneath, it's mostly the new interface which differentiate them. If it was going to be that much different, it would have been called 7.0
@mitsi: First of all, Hi! I'm from Sutton (just round the corner). What didn't you like about !Aman!'s TESS 6.1 ROM? I'm using it now instead of stock, I sorted out most of the differences which annoyed me. It's nice to have all the latest versions of the apps in one package, and the storage space and RAM boost are useful too.

This icon arrange problem is why i use new cooked roms. 23017 build and upwards you can arrange icons with easy drag and drop style. Working ok...
And yes, there is TF3D/Sense...

Hi Pete from Sutton! Two geeks within 2 miles! That's a high density, isn't it!
Most Rom Chefs seem to be concentrating on Manila 2.1, 2.5 and 2.6 at the moment. It was Aman's rom that I tried. This was very good. But there were a couple of points which I didn't like. Plus points were the Aman ram (about 10mb more free than stock) and rom (again about 20-30mb more free than stock) but minus points were the manila was compressed (so I couldn't alter it with my manila modifier (that's not what the programme is called, but I can't remember what it was) and also I couldn't disable the HSDPA/HSUPA in the settings which doubles my battery life and doesn't seem to slow up internet. It was a close call, but the stock rom won for me as it has enough rom/ram (200mb/85mb free) anyway.
I'll look out for someone with his burried in his TD2....

No contest for me - 6.5 is much better. Lots of incremental and small changes make the overall experience much better.

I've got it in TESS: Settings-All settings-Connections-Advanced network.
I hadn't given it a second thought, always had it on "enable HSDPA" (thought it must be a "good thing"),must try without. T-Mobile is so slow anyway, doubt I'll detect a difference

Yeah, I'm the idiot on the Sutton to London train with that Sony Bluetooth stick clipped to my t-shirt which make people think I'm a right...

Hi Pete,
For the HSDPA, I know there is a setting there in the Aman rom, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Disabling it on the stock rom seriously improved my battery life from one day to two.
I want/need to edit the Manila because I don't like the HTC green, so I amend all the Manila, bmp's and png's myself to make them dark red
I think you are right about the speed, but to be honest, I didn't notice that much difference, so the stock rom is good enough for me.

UNSOLVED BUGS
NONE
FAQs - HELP QUESTIONS:
IE shows error screen but on pressing cancel you can use it normally - this is because a package is missing in the original build. I am happy to add it but looking at the number of XDA users who use IE, I din't re-cook it. Opera works faster and better.
I removed MMApplauncher, can't access start menu now - You won't be able to because mmapplauncher has been installed INSTEAD OF start menu. This ROM does not have WINMO startmenu so please don't remove mmapplauncher. The reason is removal of start menu saves valuable 15-20mb RAM that makes this rom faster even with multitasking.
Finger Keyboard - It shows error or I don't like it or it's rubbish etc etc - Please install another keyboard that is available in the forum. The reason I haven't cooked in a keyboard is solely because it's a very very personal choice that change from user to user and if you don't like your keyboard, you will hate your phone!
Linux/Ubuntu users can't active sync - Yes, reason being .exe files are not support in Linux and hence you can only install programs in VirtualBox - however, I have removed few packages to save 5-7mb of storage in the ROM as Linux based users are in minor numbers. On Linux you will still be able to activate this phone as 'mass storage device' and will be able to add or remove files, photos, music etc from the memory card. Only thing not possible is - ActiveSync program installations on Linux.
If any of the above answer does not satisfy your hunger for your choice of ROM, please PM me and I will cook the ROM as you want!
I won't know, if you don't say it!

Nice and very speed to send ROM... Like MIRO
Just one point it's Windows Mobile 6.5.3 no ? (SE CE 5.2.28244 (build 28244.5.3.10) )

Let me know how you find it - mainly space and speed wise: I think it's best beast in town, but you will tell me unbiased way
I love the animated boot screen - there are more in my signature! You could change them if you wish
No you could tell people that's you in the phone!

Can you please check if you are able to have 'data connections' on your TG01?
I think there is a bug with that part of the rom - I will re-flash and check on mine if you have issues with 'data connections'

Wow!!! I've just left the forum two days and you have already launched 3 new Roms!! Are you competing with Miro for the title of "Fastest cooker in the World"?
New Year, new cocker !! Congratulations. Let me a little period of grace to update my table with your roms.....

O.K. now
Hi drupad2drupad,
I can connect to my computer without any problems, it all sync's well,
one problem i have found is that when the phone times out to a blank screen and i press the power button to bring it back nothing happens, i tried holding the power button for a few seconds and i get the slide to unlock screen, should it be this slow are can i tweak it at all,
apart from this i am loving this rom and i have tried a lot of roms over the last year,
keep up the good work daddyredmond
Edit,
I uninstalled some cabs i put in and the problem has gone, i think the cab's speedbooster_ppc_2.0.020, HTC TouchFLO 3D, HTC Equalizer 1.0.2, Flash7, flxmail4, TG01 Solutions, could be a problem for me, these were the cabs i unonstalled and after a soft reset all worked well,
i noticed that the spd shell had a fifteen day limit so i installed the copy i have,
i tried to upload it but the file is 10.8mb in size, any help?

Hi Pere,
Pleasant surprise then huh?
I have learnt and got so much from XDA, thought it was about time I return something to the community!
I cannot compete with Miro, the rom machine!
He has taught me a lot for rom cooking but I cannot be as quick as the rom machine
You meant new year, new 'cooker' right?
Do not rush with updating your table, you never know more awesome roms might be on their way

Hi daddyredmond,
Thanks for that feedback, glad to know all is well with the ROM then!
Only one concern though, DruROM3 - is clean without SPB Shell - DruROM1 has Shell in it - have you by any chance flashed DruROM1 and are posting in wrong thread? :s
If you have got DruROM1 with SPB Shell pre-installed - you will love DruROM3 without SPB Shell.. The SPB shell being a paid software, I obviously can't cook the full version or share the key to it -and hence only 15 day trial version. If you have a key, you could make it full software by registering it without having to install your SPB.
Also, what exactly are you trying to upload? You could use Rapidshare for it if you like.

Hi drupad2drupad,
thanks for your reply, i am using the DruROM1 so sorry for posting on the wrong thread, my mistake, there were a few threads with your name to them and i picked the wrong one ,
anyway i was trying to upload the spb shell i was using, i can not remember now were i got it from but it does not need registering you just install it and away you go, i think i downloaded it from this site somewhere,

Thanks daddyredmond for the feedback! Glad to hear you are loving the rom as much as I do
Ps: About SPB - I think your one might fall into category of 'pirated/cracked' SPB Shell - I don't think it's a good idea to share any such stuff on XDA! It is against the forum rules I think

ROM UPDATED with link in first post!

Very fast ROM, thank you !!!!
I´m running it with SPB MS and Mskip wp7 theme in german and a dual sim card, no problems.
Only bug I found is apps like Bubble level can´t find a sensor. Sensor itself can be calibrated, but other applications cannot find a signal.

I am glad that you are loving the rom
Sorry about that bug! Can you please check if in SPB you are able to see Carousal panels move when you activate G-sensor? If you are able to activate G-sensor on SPB, then most likely is the app you are using. Meanwhile, I will try to get my hands on Bubble level and see if there is a fixable bug in rom Hope everything else is fine with the ROM.

Hi drupad2drupad,

hi Miro!
Thanks for quick help
I have cooked new HTCSenserSDK in all my roms as well That's why was wondering what might stop this game detecting the sensor :s

Hi drupad2drupad,
this morning I was unable to start the phone ( the dialer, I mean). When I hit the phone icon in programs, it tried to start, but it didn´t
showed up. After several resets without changing anything, I flashed the original rom. I installed the same programs as before (SPB MS, WP7 skin, ACR, Phonelog, AEButtons) and now it works.
Come back to your rom later, thank you anyway, great work !!!!!
