Stole this idea from another forum..!
For all us newbies looking to try some custom Roms also all the experienced flashers(!) it would be a good idea to have a review thread..?
Maybe have:

RESPONSIVENESS:
COOKED APPS:
DESIGN:
ISSUES (major/minor):
Please add your favourite Roms and experiences with them.
I'll start

STABILITY: 8
SPEED: 8
RESPONSIVENESS: 8

ISSUES (major/minor): Freezes often and can get laggy. Issues with signal at times too.

You sound like a character out of novel by Dickens: "Fact, my dear sir. Fact" lol
It's all about rhetorics: Appelflap-rom, best rom in the universe. (Still doesn't start up. But what the heck)
Just go to www.xdaroms.com and you can get the information there. I hope I get this message finished before this thread is closed.
just because i like getting in just before they get locked
tbh rating custom roms is pointless as all the other threads have demonstrated. even an honest attempt to benchmark to get empirical comparisons was poopood on here so l.o.l.
Let alone ranking/giving scores arbitrarily.
These threads never work...a new one is started every week but gets closed...no two people will have the same opinions about a ROM.
Id say just read the threads?
He he
Try topix guys, it is the BEST here, no one like this, trust me! Miri's, Dutty's fade...

After seeing that theres hardly any posts on this forum regarding SPB - I did a bit of hunting around. Seriously speaking! SPB is a bit more complex than TF3D / manilla. Its just more customizable with widgets etc; Its just a little bit more customizable & stylish with smooth effects.
Here is a review from 4Winmobile.com
I would recommend using a Rom such as BSB 6.5
Basically this is what it looks like - Click here - (Youtube)

So where do u download?:
1) Removed - I had to remove these links due to the objections as u can read below. Its a fair argument.
2) Removed - It shouldn't be too hard finding it yourself
3) You can download the Trial version - here
I'm never going back to Manilla again!!!
Thanks!
Isn't this pirating? I would take this down ASAP.

Not necessarily! I'm just providing external links i found by "googling"
People are welcome to Purchase the product if they wish. Go here to Purchase -spbwarehouse.com ($30 USD)
Besides, I've seen many posts on this forum with content that is not legal. Infact Cooking roms is not legal either

None of which changes the fact that you're linking to illegal versions of SPB's software which you're well aware of so coming out with nonsense justifications like "Oh, but I innocently found this stuff through Googling!" is really just taking the piss. If SPB felt particularly inclined they could give the owners of the forum a lot of trouble for posts like yours so instead of glibly trying to justify your crap why not just admit you were wrong and take the links down for the sake of the community?
I second that!
Warez is NOT welcome here... and neither will you be if you continue to post warez / link to warez. Everybody here knows about spb Mobile Shell, and how to get a legitimate copy. Just be careful

Theres certainly nothing wrong with a Hermes. I'm still using mine every day with R13.5 of my ROM. I still can't pick any major issues with it!
What is the latest ROM for Hermes?
Is CRC 13.5 WM6.1 latest?
Any WM 6.5 ROMs for Hermes? ......
I gotta agree, I had 3 Hermes (Dopod 838pro). 2 are still going strong though the keyboard is fading on one - some keys are hard to press. 1 got stolen!

Define latest?
13.5 is the latest release of MY ROM.
WM6.5 is pretty slow on the Hermes. You can only stretch old hardware so far....
Hi everyone.
Not only me but, I think, many of you are attracted by how Energy ROM looks like. But the problems with memory do not allow to most of the users to have it for much time on our diamonds. That is why I want to ask the members of this forum to attach here files and cab's that will help to get an appearance of Energy Rom for the original manila 2.5. Thanks in advance
(In this topic you can see screenshots in the second post). This looks really nice and I want to have a similar look of Sense UI (on another rom)

Yeah let's not... I dont appreciate people doing this to my ROM. Thanks. If you want the EnergyROM experience.. download the EnergyROM and do your own RAM tweaks if it bothers you that much. Lots of people use it, as I cook it, so it can't be THAT bad.
but what is the problem with posting some themes and visual modifications?
he's not asking for someone to modify your ROM.
Im using energy since July 09 and I have to admit that Im moving to a much lighter ROM.
The "EnergyROM experience" ends with other ROM or in the moment that you have to deal with ram cleaners, but thats not the point.
I want a clean ROM with the eyecandy effect that you achieve.
I really appretiate your work! Thanks.
So, I am not rom-bilder and I am not going to use yours skin in the mercenary purposes. All I need is your eyecandy skin for htc sense and nothing else. Just for me. I respect your work and all your roms, but unfortunately there are some reasons why I can not use them.

Lol
Anyhow, let's all respect NRGZ28's great work and not copy stuff if the man doesn't want that.
My suggestion: Set the pagepool for the energy rom u like to 6 or 8. I use 8, don't notice any performance loss and hardly have to clean ram. (I don't use Sense)
I posted this thread just because i am kinda disappointed with HD2 rom selection, as i am hardcore rom flasher. Don't get me wrong, i like all chefs and i'm not taking sides. If you don't like the thread don't flame me, but u can report it to be deleted if you wish. Otherwise read on
As comparison i took roms of my previous phone, Samsung Omnia. If you look at their thread http://www.modaco.com/category/368/i900-general-omnia-rom-discussion/ you can well enough see that after 2.5 years rom development is still kicking!
Every chef shows alot of dedication to rom, they build up their own interfaces, new looks etc. Every rom is unique, and i'm afraid we don't have this with HD2.
And yes, i know about dinik, but if there are more people using it then stock, it isn't as unique, don't u think...
In short summary, i'd just want to see some more young enthusiastic chefs (like sanjeev, maybe) so not every rom thread goes: ...sense 2016 CFC'd..GTX/Black..dinik iconset...
you can also post your experience or prove me wrong sorry to waste 3min of your life..
edit: will try to post some pictures to prove my point

Maybe you make your own ROM to share with us and give us a better choice?
Not sure i entireley agree with you.
Most chefs actually think about the user more than you probably think. So by providing a really fast, yet stock looking rom, you, the user, can add your own customisations that you deem necessary.
However, when you are talking about everybody using the same customisations, it's also down to the user. For example, im sure many of you use Dinik's icons/mods etc. So if it was built into the rom, it would be ready out of the box. No need to install all of the mods over and over again.
I dont think they're not being innovative, but infact providing what you need. I would be gutted if i spent a hell of a lot of time making a whole theme for my phone, only to realise people complain about it or just install other mods over it.

actually, i tried, but it turned out to be crap xD slow and laggy.
again, i'm not dissin' anyone, just saying! i like rom chefs a lot, and i know how much job gets into making a proper rom-as i said i tried and failed miserbly.
and i didn't mention i heavily customize almost every rom i try, unless it has something new to try. It's nice to build up your own config, but hey, sometimes it feels really nice to see someone stand out (as dinik did in beginning, and then GTX -and now mostly everyone likes these)
well i better shut up now i guess
Hi,
I'm getting a HTC HD2 soon, my first phone which runs Android good (TD2 aka Topaz sucks with android ^^)

Having asked for 'the best ROM with sense 3.0' (anything involving 'the best rom...' is a completely retarded question by the way) you decide to choose a ROM with sense 2.0? Really?? Although I have to applaud your choice, I'm using that ROM too and it is, as it says in the title, perfect.
I'm gonna warn you: all of the current Sense 3.0 ROMs have graphical glitches...
And the most have problems with camcorder/cam.
Hope you're not disappointed after flashing.
that's why i've written
"fastest or call it best" ^^
I wanted to say the fastest rom
Sense 2.0 Sense 3.0?
I dont know, but it looks like the pictures in my first post
that's everything I wanted
Yea I noticed in much roms you can use the camera only with third party software or the recording resolution is low. But in the Rom I've chosen it should work (just not in hd)
If I want to make good Videos I'm buying a camcorder ^^
THX guys
