The best WM5 ROM?

Hi.
planning to upgrade my BA, can you'll guide me with the best and the most stable ROM avaliable. prefere to have a clean ROM
Thank you

ArtZ's.

None is 'better' than the others, they all have different positive and negative which would suit different needs.
TuMa is an easy, 'runs out of the box' type ROM that afaik any user would be able to install and use without problems, it also includes many applications that a user might need which is great, but if your a bit more savvy then you may feel your choice is restriced.
Ivans is a cleaner rom designed at the afor mentioned people who want their BA to be exactyl how they like it, with thier own choice of Apps etc. it also has Extended rom support so you can have these apps instal automatically.
Logouts, afaik is just a stripped own version of TuMa, with a few elements of Ivans added, i dont know much about this rom as i have never used it, but i'm told it is a good 'mid point' betweent he first two.
Artz's rom i haven't come across or even heard much about, maybe _TB_TB_ could supply some extra information?

Midget_1990 really good explaination
My choice is Ivan's rom (I repeat this is my choice, anybody may have difrend requirement for WM5 rom) I just love WM5 to be clean like a original Microsoft rom without anything else, and the decisions for adding software to be all mine
_TB_TB_ please post short resume for ArtZ roms

By the way, the poll isn't going to help you much. It's a little bit bias as not all who voted actually tried all three ROMs. Many started off with one and continued with the updates. I personally installed Tuma only for a day or two and since then its been Ivan.

Thanks a lot guys for the help, ive decided to go with Ivans ROM but before i do, id like to know if it has any issues with the bluetooth and if i can the 128 MB storage like 2003 allowed me to.
thanks

Ivan's rom till now!!!

ivan
so far, Ivan's latest version has been the most complete and stable for me with the following major issues fixed:
* bluetooth working (headset + activesync with pc)
* wifi working
* cellular network connectivity is flawless (no disconnect after soft reset)
* media player does not skip anymore at the beginning of songs
* speed is very respectible
I haven't had to do a hardware reset or reflash since I installed this latest ROM

fastest and most stable wm6 rom?

which wm6 rom is currently the fastest and most stable. im on sonblack rom, the
AKU 1.00 OS20000 one, got it from pdaviet.net. any rom faster or stable than this one?

Im using c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0b.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0).It's the most stable and fastest ROM i've ever had.Problems with the Camera(video mode) & navigational button in landscape mode are still not fixed though in this ROM.
I'm also considering sonblock's ROM.Is it not fast and stable?What problems did you find with this ROM?

c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0[COLOR="Red"]C[/COLOR].40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0)
bro upgrade to c_shekhar's ROM: 7.0C.40CS (WM6 AKU 7.0). this the fastest and most stable rom.. i recommend this.

Thanks, but I think the same problems with video recording & dial-pad orientation remains in the "c" version.Regarding the fixes in "b" release:
Fixes over 7.0b.40CS:
1. The slow scroll problem while viewing the web page fixed.--Im using Opera browser.
2. Bluetooth FTP added for easy file transfer with other phones especially the sony erricson (tested with T630)(thanks to the_hesham)--I seldom use bluetooth FTP.I can Sync normally with bluetooth anyway.
3. Added the WMplayer ver 11.2...I use TCPMP & Mort player.
4. Added WkTask1101 a Wonderful task manager including Application launcher (Thanks to Waku)---I use QuickMenu,PointUI,S2U2,&Touch Commander
5. Added Ftouchflo for touch type scrolling a great creation by efrost. (Thanks to efrost)----Touch Commander has the nice feature of FTouchflo
6. Modified the settings in network Wizard for BSNL, India for proper functioning of GPRS/MMS.---I'm from Philippines,GPRS/MMS works perfectly with me.

thank you for ur replies guys. dnardz, as this is my first ever wm6 rom, im really not sure if its faster or slower than the other roms, its zippy but does get stuck sometimes. About the bugs in this rom, well it automatically goes into standby mode sometimes, even when i set it not to, and video camera is very slow, i mean its like taking pics in burst mode. sakurasyaoran, i,ve seen people in these forums who have converted from c_shekhar's rom to sonblack rom and some of them think that sonblack rom is faster, is this true. Please correct me if im wrong.

oh yeah and one more thing, i hope the mods wont mind me asking a different question in the same thread. Are wm5 roms faster than wm6 roms? If They are then by how much? Im particularly interested in llbasha wm5 rom with 96mb memory, 16mb ramdisk, 16mb pagepool since there isnt any wm6 rom with more than 60mb ram. is this rom fast. any major bugs?

my windows has 80 mb

yes ather90, but ur one has 80mb ramdisk, what i meant was program memory.

I personally find sonblacks aku1.0 rom fastest and the most stable. And ive tried all roms on this forum. except for athers aku1.0.. the reason i like sonblacks rom is first its aku1.0. 2nd i like the small things like if i change screen orientation it changes the screen quite quickly... alot more quickly than all other roms... i have a very heavy today screen with almost all of spbs today plugins... so it does matter for me... second SIP changing etc is fast unlike most other roms in which it took 4 5 or more seconds for the SIP menu to pop out... and many other small speed issues here and there. Stability is also good as this rom hasnt freezed or crashed once yet(at least not on its own it does crash when some software fks things up)...

thanks xPresident. Guess i wont be having any doubts now. And could u answer my second question about wm5 vs wm6 speed? Particularly in llbasha's wm5 rom case? Is it faster than the sonblack rom i have? the reason im quite interested in llbasha's rom is due to the large amount of program memory as i want to play games on fpsece, which seem to run quite slow on the sonblack wm6 rom i currently have.

im sorry but dont have any idea about WM5. i only used one wm5 rom for 1-2 days and dont remember which one it was n it wasnt a very good experience. thankfully about that time the first wm6 rom came out. all games running fine on my fone havent used fpsece but i do use pocketgba etc... n i think it works fine. although maybe ur right wm5 might run emulators faster. ive read in these forums some people have some problems with video playback etc too n its not as smooth as in WM5.

what about helmi?
funny i did'nt seem to read any comments on helmi's rom when in fact most of the roms u mentioned here came from helmi's base rom. i am using helmis for months now and the speed and stability is almost the same as when i first installed it. my program and storage memory are almost running full and i'm only experiencing a slight and unnoticeable slowdown. the only thing i am a bit frustrated right now is the camera functions and picture quality - guess it's the same with all the other roms.

sorry for the late reply, been busy flashing my ppc. well i tried llbasha and another wm5. xPresident, you're right. both of them are not as stable as sonblack's wm6 rom, just too many bugs e.g no DUN, had to soft reset a lot etc. i even felt them to be a bit slower than the wm6 rom. and wm5 aku 3.5 drain battery really fast. So finally i was bout to give up for a wm6 rom with large program memory until i found another one of sonblack's wm6 rom on pdaviet.net. this one is on aku 0.7.00 but it has 96mb program memory, 32mb pagepool and 0mb ramdisk. Im gonna try it out now and see how it goes.

wow ive got to check it out... didnt see any rom like that there before.. although aku1.00 like that wouldve been nice

where can I download sonblacks aku1.0 rom ?

you can download it from www.pdaviet.net. you will have to register n the sites in vietnamese though if ur familiar with forum registration pages you wont have a problem go to download n from the dropdown find himalaya... loads of roms there.

btw sahir plz do tell us if the 96 mb program mem does u any good with fpsece performance.

Does it really make sense to update from 1.14 to 1.56 ROM?

Anyone has seen real improvements in any areas?
Is it faster, better signal, new features in Manila, anything else?

For better signal you need a new radio version not a new rom. But not every new radio is better than a earlyer version!
I also used stock 1.14 rom for a long time (nearly 3 months) and since about 2 months I am updating my roms from time to time because they are faster than the 1.14 rom when you intall a good rom (I´ve installed Miri´s 6.5 V6.1 Standart at the moment and for my it´s the best rom for now).
I also tested nearly every newer 6.1 rom here and also every 6.5 build 21202 rom and for me the Miri´s rom 6.5 V6.1 standart was the best and it uses only 31% memory after reboot. I don´t know what a 1.14 rom use after a reboot?!? But that is also important for more speed and longer battery life I think!
But everybody likes different roms so you couldn´t really say whats the best one or the fastest rom.

YEAH!
It makes a lot of sense!

Could you please elaborate?

If everything works great for you on 1.14 you don't have the reason to upgrade since there are no some fancy new stuff in 1.56. I would flash the new one anyway... its official upgrade! ^^
Post with comparison of 1.14 and 1.56

I installed the 1.56 but the features are very limited. No difference in speed so i go back to Dutty 2.6 rom which is user friendly and complete rom.
I think HTC should follow XDA and make real improvement to their interface. Because most of the rom here much better than new announced rom.

Point to updating ROM?

I have been browsing through the forums here for a couple of days, and I see a lot of ROMs for everything from WM6.5 to Google Android. I also see threads about updated radios that I have not read much into yet. Presently I am quite happy with my phone, WM6.1 + SPB 3.5 shell. My Kaiser is as follows:
ROM: 3.57.502.2 WWE (07/17/08)
Radio: 1.65.21.18
So I was just wondering, is there any practical advantage to a new ROM other than having a new interface and/or new software?

Well, cooked ROMs are generally MUCH faster than regular stock ones, and they also have more features or programs that are usefull compared to the stock bloatware that is a normal ROM.

Well, personally I understand your point here and your concern about what is the added value to flash/update to a new rom version. My personal suggestion to you is that you back up your current data and try a couple of cooked roms and that you experience if there is some improvement in the new rom that you picked.

If you are happy, leave the phone alone.

Have fun flashing

Just be sure to remember that if your phone is still under warranty , that flashing a custom rom will void this warranty. If your phone breaks or crashes, AT$T and HTC will not fix it with a custom rom or spl on it. There are ways to get it back to warranty-able condition, but it is not as easy as just reflashing the stock rom.

[Q] Can I get a faster ROM?

Hi!
Currently I have ROMeOS.v4.21 WWE installed (ROM date 8/8/8). I'm curious whether there has been any significant on-driver-level development in the Kaiser ROMs, so if I can make my old Kaiser faster with another newer ROM. You know, make it more responsive, both touchscreen and the keyboard (I had applied various tweaks with only limited success).
Thanks
