At the end can any body tell me what is the best ROM?

I am seeing daily that ROMs are flooding this page. Can anybody tell me what is the best ROM as of today so that we can try also? That should be stable and less battery consuming.

well the best is what the members are PRESENTLY using.
and it changes very fast cause we flash/try every new cooked rom, we don't stay on one rom for so long...
so just try it ALL out and find out for yourself.

Thanks but not everybody is geek and cannot afford to flush its pda daily to see. So please tell me which is the best one so far?

the released WM6.1 is still the BEST because it came from HTC.
HTC haven't release an official WM6.5 rom for the Opal.

PhamQuang roms are great imo
im currently lookin for a clean rom but rightnow im using PhamQuang´s WM6.5 ROM V24 u can find it here:
this rom only problems (i found so far) are the dot on the calculator doesnt work (its really annoying) and a few visual problems because not all software is made to fit whit the satrt button on bottom.....
the best one always will be the one u like the most
post here which one u decide to use so we can check it out
good luck

Thanks for your reply!
I used one or two but were very buggy. So I reverted back to 6.1 and it is working very good until now. My problem is that I have installed many books related to my profession. I cannot afford to install all my programs on daily basis.
So I am waiting for a good stable version of 6.5. I don't want any manilla 2D. I have installed spb pocket plus and deactivated manila 2d.

backup

if you dont want to install all your apps (contacts, alarms, email settings,sms...) everytime you flash your phone use a backup.... i use spbbackup and it backup even when you change rom just make sure you save your backup file on the storage card and you r done.
the only problem is that app is not free but use the trial version or look for the serial (i cant provide, forum rules).....

Thanks once again for ur reply!
I am using spb back up utility. But is it possible that I backup in 6.1 and extract in 6.5???? I think no because the system files differ??

New TF Theme For Mighty Rom 6.5 Rhodium

New Icons for the mighty Rom Theme. See pics. You can either disable HTC Sense before install and then enable after install, or just install the cab and then soft reset the phone.
to disable HTC sense got to start\settings\today\items\uncheck HTC Sense. Reverse the procedure after installing the cab.
If you do not like it and want to return to the normal mighty rom just disbable HTC Sense as described above and then go to
start\settings\system\remove programs\highlight the Lubbad Mighty cab and click remove.
your original mighty rom icons will return to the Touch Flo screen.
Very easy. Give me some feedback. I did a lot of development on the TP1 in the past and this is my first with the TP2. A terrific device. If you do not have the Mighty Rom, you gotta get it. It blows away the Sprint CDMA rom that I had installed from factory. 6.5 is the way to go!

Theme did not work only the slider changed. i tried both methods posted and no luck? any ideas? thanks

You are probably running one of Mighty's roms with HTC Sense 2.5.
This theme appears to be for Mighty rom with HTC Sense 2.1 only!

Normal?

It was a lot simpler when there were less manila files. Too many options with manila now. I updated my rom with the Mighty Rom from Jan 3rd, 2010.
I have a cdma sprint Touch Pro 2. These were the manila files I changed. Were you able to get it uninstalled and returned to normal?

It might not work because you're on T-Mobile. I was under the impression that Mighty ROM was CDMA only. I know that some of MobileMatt's themes only work on CDMA TP2s, because he develops them for his Verizon one.

the cleanest ROM without HTC customizations

I would like to have your opinion: which cooked ROM is the cleanest and lightest ROM without all those "slowing" HTC customizations?
Or if this is not possible, which ROM has the least f those HTC embedded apps?
My ideal ROM is that one which has succesfull get rid of Manila, HTC messaging and all the other staff, except one: Compass.
At the moment I am satisfied with Freyberry Barebone: but up to now I cannot get rid of HTC Contacts, (I cannot re-enable the default MS Outlook Contact)
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

I understand that some of HTC customizations cannot be removed, but I wish to find a ROM which has the least of them.
Thanks and waiting.
Saulo

You can make it easily if u want Microsoft Phone (WM) OS only for ur device. But ur device will become weird. High tech mobile hardware with errrr looking

I'm finally not alone in this quest !

Manila Mail Tab acting weird in 6.5.X

Hey guys
I couldn't find a previous thread about this.
In any 6.5.X build i tested (2311X, 2365X, 2356X), in the Manila Mail Tab:
After setting up an account and syncing it the first time, the preview won't work anymore.
Meaning that "Send/Receive" will show you the "green number" on the top right, but the mail previews are not updated. Can't swype to bring them up either ...
Only changing tabs will "update" it
Never noticed it before myself honestly until a user pointed it out
Anyone who's got an idea?
Grtz!

Hi there!
Ive attached a small video to show you the behaviour. This happens with all new mails i receive. Deleting messages works, the mail tab updates itself.

Im trying Artemis v14 right now, lets see if the bug is there also.
EDIT: Damnit, its there, the same bug.
EDIT2: Just tried the Energy ROM, it works there! Its the same windows build than DsE Black Edition v8, but i think the manila version is different. Its 2.5.20121225 in the Energy ROM...

Rookies!
What version of Sense is Artemis and the other ROM running ? I doubt this is a windows build issue. It very much seems like a Sense issue.

Yeah, seems to be a sense issue, cause DsE uses 2.5.2012.1412...

Weird thing though NRG
Same Manila with 21903, no such 'bug'
Same Manila with any 6.5.x build, it occurs.

But it works in the Energy ROM as i said.

Well, personally, i would like to see this. Cause the mail functionality is one of the most important things on my device. I know that manila, or sense, is based on many packets for album, music player and mail which are cooked into your ROM right? Maybe you could use an older mail version? If not, i would prefer an older sense version. At least until a new sense is released which fixes this bug. But its your ROM, therefore your decision .

I've rolled back to many previous manila mail packages, no luck
I'll keep trying to fix this without having to rollback Manila as a whole, coz i'm sure there'd be something up with that too

Nope the UDT base is 21903 and working correctly...
I'm cooking more tests now, perhaps a manila rollback is necesary for my 6.5.X builds, will see

Hi guys!! I 've found a possible wayout! I am using Dutty's ROM HG 2.6. When I removed the Documents Tab that I had previously installed through cab the mail tab worked fine!!! So....I hope this is helpful.

Hmm, worth a check init

Hm ok, didnt work for me. Tested it by just disabling the documents tab and again after a soft reset. Maybe its because of the files installed by the cab file? epapas could remove them, i cant cause they are cooked in.
Maybe you could cook a test rom without the documents package?

Looking for kwbr 4.4/4.5 COM2 no HTC messaging ROM

Guys, I need some help here.
I'm looking for anyone who still has the ROM files for kwbr 4.4/4.5 COM2 no HTC messaging ROM. This ROM IMO gives me the best result on my HD2.
All 3.14 based ROMs cause problems with WiFi in my university(disconnects frequently). I also need the ROM to be WITHOUT htc messaging because I need delivery reports for sent text messages and I need SMS Reports Eraser to put them neatly into a "delivery reports" folder. SMS Reports Eraser doesn't work with HTC Messaging.
Or can anyone suggest to me a COM2 2.X based ROM that has NO htc messaging? I don't see any ROMs here other than kwbr's that have HTC messaging removed.
THANKS!!!

Hi Rihui ! I've Kwbr HD2 4.4 NoMsg - I can send it to U

that's wonderful news! would appreciate if you could upload it to some file hosting website like mediafire. thanks!

UR Welcome, check your PM !

Thanks Vapika! got the file.

you can also check my sig for energy rom archives. He only released one 3.14 rom to date, didn't like the drivers and reverted back.
All his roms are htc messaging free as well. Check them out, that way you could still have updated ROMs.
