First of all, sorry if this is a stupid question but I dont want to post the same in any topic.
I ask if anyone made or can make a WM6.1 ultra light version. I mean, the more recent OS version, but without any application like HTC Home, albuns, players, personal themes or else. Just the plain and simple Operative System, for anyone that want to install his prefered applications.
I'm not a cooker and try some ROM's, but the ones that work fast and stable, got too much programs that never used, and the ones really light, have too many bugs or are realy slow.
Thanks in advice....
i want to know that too
edit: but the closest on i've seen is Mary's Super Light 3.7 (currently using it)

Very stable, everything works, no extra battery consumption.
This is as close to a perfect "OS ONLY" ROM I've seen so far...

Hi SuperSport,
Have you compared this with FIniXNover 3.4 Light? In your opinion which is more stable, faster with less bugs...
Thanks for your help.

Actually, I haven't compared them. As it is now, I use my phone heavily on a daily basis, so I cannot be down with problems. From what I read, there are still some problems with 3.4. I may be wrong, but I have not tested yet.
Don't get me wrong, I think FIniXNover is a GREAT chef, and have tried his ROMS in the past, but for now, will stick with these...
I'm running fresh 2.0d right now, but it seems to be a bit laggy..which ROM will give me the best performance/stability?
Thanks guys, love these forums
Um....hmm, can't really answer that one. I've tried like all of the roms out there, though I've never really had the same experience twice. I would just nandroid backup and spend time with all of them until you find the one that works best...

True, but I'm just looking for ROMs that people recommend/use daily that work well. I'm gonna try DamageR right now, I've already tried DamageControl and Flipz, so I'm gonna try some other ones and see how it goes.

SEARCH AND READ...that's seems to be the answer to every single post being made today. It's all here in black and white. One search I recommend in all honesty is search the word:
"BENCHMARK" and read the thread started by flipzmode. It's a really good read.
I heard that CakeButt.ClownPenis 1.3 was really fast!!!! Check it out.

I just spit coke all over the computer at school...thanks Kbizz.
RegawMOD is pretty good and the new FreshToast is also fast once it's setup right... I've tried just about every 2.1 rom available on this site and those are the ones I like the most.
I know it benchmarked the worst but as far as regular use RegawMOD 2.1 is the best and fastest running rom in my experience, that is also on the .29 kernel...
If you search for flipzmode benchmark you will see that all 2.1 rom all run about the same speed.
Other then flip/toast OC rom should run the fastest and its the only rom that will actually show a big difference in benchmarks.
Water it down like all the other "fast" roms and youll have one that is actually fast do to overclocked processor.
Its not made for everyone, and the camera isnt working yet (i have a feeling its not far away).

Hey no problem!! Bout choked myself when I first read it.. My favorite rom name to date!! Wish I could cook.....
This is hardly a scientific analysis, but I have been running DC, flipz, and Regaw's roms interchangably for the past few weeks, and today switched from Sense to the Helix launcher.
The biggest difference in UI performance came from ditching Sense...it was actually a noticeable difference in responsiveness
That being said, I don't think you'll notice a whole lot of difference between the individual ROMs with Sense, so base your choice on what programs/features each ROM has versus which is fastest...in everyday use, you won't be able to tell a difference, IMHO.
So I got DarchVanilla, and I really like it, but the market doesn't have all my apps.. Is there a fix for this yet?? I really like this one, it's very responsive and close to lag free.

+1 The reason I chose RegawMOD is because it was basically a stripped down rom. It allowed me the room to load the programs that I wanted without having to strip useless (for me) programs from the rom. Very nice, stable.
I've found that using Ic3Rom with some apps removed from it, the old OpenGL restored on it, and Launcher2 installed, it's incredibly fast. It looks like AOSP, but has the current stability and function of a HTC ROM. Give it a shot if you haven't
I've used almost all of the roms available out there I thing fresh works better, if u don't want lag you would hve to use aosp

+1 for RegawMOD being the best of the ones currently available that gives me what I want. I really like fresh 2.0d except that is was really laggy IMO too. I can't handle laggy, and RegawMOD doesn't appear to have any of that lag, and so far everything I need and want works just fine on it, including googlevoice, but I only use googlevoice for my voicemail, no idea about sending and receiving calls with it.

Hey all, is there any way to decrease the scalar lag on my HD2? I don't care about battery life, so if it consumes more, that's fine. By scalar I mean lag such as...when you flip the clock up on the home tab, it's slow. Switching to the Album tab and back dramatically speeds up the flip clock speed. I already have LeoCpuSpeed enabled so it helps but doesn't get rid of this lag. Any help appreciated.
Ps. The lag disappears for a while when I switch to album tab or Internet tab and scroll up or down a little. Thx
Flashing a custom rom.
If you are into flashing cooked roms, ive found that roms that use EXTENDIR have drastically better sweep/scroll than ones without.
Of course the roms are tweaked for performance too, but it is still noticeably smoother.
i rarely recommend roms, but THIS one, v1.37 is by far my favourite rom,. i go back to it again and again.

i had installed a custom rom based on 6.5 on my hd2. its supposed to be a stripped down version of the stock rom, so its supposed to give longer battery and better performance. but its got terrible battery life, and camera and pictures look horrible. the stock rom gives batter cam and pics, and the battery is WAYYY better. can someone explain why this is so if this is supposed to be better than a stock rom?

First of all not mentioning which specific ROM doesn't help. Some are better than others. I also thought from other posts you were going WM7?
Just run Android. It turns the HD2 into a powerhouse.

hi, digiholic.. thanks for the reply. the rom i used was dutty's reference rom. i installed it and it looks good. but the camera and pictures look so dull that it looked horrible. and the batt life was a huge drain. but on a stock rom, the the batt life is better than the refernce rom. and the pics and cam are the best i've seen.. which is why i ask why is a customized rom worse than a stock rom?
and i installed 2 droid roms, gb 2.3 and cymod7, i think. and they suck. the call quality was staticy. the cam and camcorder were sluggish and dull looking, and the batt was horrible.
but i am wanting to install wp7.. as long as they are apps for what i need. for example, i'm l;ooking for a nyc subway app. i hope theres one for wp7.

I haven't had any of those problems with HyperdroidGBX. Only static I get in a call is from having the volume up too loud and that's not from the call. My cameras work fine and take good quality pics for a phone. Battery life is good... for Android.
I tend to go into all types of settings after a new install and tweak and optimize as much as possible so I might be getting better results.
I tried WM6.5 for half a day when I got the phone. Hated it so I rooted and ROM'd quickly. Can't attest to it's abilities. I am curious to test WM7 but Android does everything I need and more I don't know if I'll ever test it.

I had no idea you were the same dude who has been posting the various threads on porting iOS and running WP7 apps and now with why are custom ROMs bad.
It really sounds like you got the wrong phone.
Here's the deal:
All custom ROMs are different, just as all stock ROMs are different.
I personally hate the Stock WM6.5 ROM on the HD2, it is buggy, slower, and you can't really do much with it. Have a little fun if you are going to use WM6.5
Flash NRG or another custom ROM that really lets you have some fun with your device, maybe a CHT2 ROM that you can change all the UI elements and add widgets and other mods as well as some awesome themes and such.
Battery life depends on your radio, ROM, and settings, so anything could be the culprit there, you might try different radios.
I am not following you around and couldn't care less about where you go, you just happened to start 3 threads that I happened to to read and reply to the effect that you didn't even attempt to search or learn about the device before you posted, that was all.
I had no idea you started all 3 threads until I just read this response right now.
Either way, if you are actually serious about this thread, I would suggest you really try out some really good custom ROMs and be sure to flash task29 before switching ROMs because this will really eliminate latent NAND issues that could carry over to the next ROM.
My suggestion is the latest NRG 6.5.x sencity CHT2 ROM.
edit:
for Android try running American Android from SD, everything works perfect for me on the latest build.

Thanks you for your permission, I will ensure I do not cross you lest I suffer the consequences.
As far as flashing WP7, try one of the new NoDo ROMs and remember you can actually dual-boot the ROM I suggested from your SD card. So upon booting you can choose WP7 or Android depending on your needs that day.

because you cannot compare an operating system that has drivers specifically written for that device and compare it to a hacked ported operating system, you have not compared a stock rom to a custom rom, if you are going to compare them please use a winmo6.5 rom not android!

Yes, you call MS and say you're running WP7 and need an activation code. They will give it to you, you then enter it into your phone and Live Services work just fine.
All custom ROMs are pre-configured with the "hack" and other settings. You just need the activation code from MS. This is the same process someone who has to hard-reset an HD7 would have to go thru.
Dual-Boot is pretty easy, you just stick a ROM on your SD card and choose to boot that if you want, it actually is pretty simple.

Well you are completley wrong. It has absolutely nothing to do with any limitations of teh hardware of the HD2 in the slightest. We had many bugs when first porting other types of roms.
Its simply software issues that can be addressed and fixed as time goes.

It doesn't exist yet. ALL roms sense or not have bugs to some extent, some you can get by with tweaks/fix's some are not fixed yet like the ones in Sense 3 like the stock camcorder and gfx glitches.
The best/most stable rom I've found based on Sense v3 is teh one in my signature.
well, what sense rom has the most stuff working, sense 2 or 3
