i cooked my own rom with ell OS.nb file and my own GSM/EXT combo but now updater crashes at 50% instead of 99% so there is a problem with ell os.nb. i think it is freezing while flashing the chip.
i was thinking of cooking a rc1 rom but i had no luck with it either my wizard still reports build 14955.2.3.0

It is better to read ELL's topic (and every other topics) about AKU3.2 ROM before flashing it. His ROM 3.32.xx is very unstable, and everyone who use it, came back with some "PLS HELP". The other ROMs by ELL are a little bit better, but there is some bugs too.
btw - his ROM is only for G3 Wizard
I think the ells ROM is stable, but I was go back too, becose of the GPRS monitor doesn,t work..
If you have crashed in 50%, then you IMHO wrote wrong Start adress to OS.. It must be 80040000, but not 82040000!!

most custom rom's that crash at 50% is due to the OS memory address listed above.. take Johnnnnnnnnnny's advice on the 80040000

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
ArtZ's ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48215&highlight=
Hi! Just wondering which ROM to upgrade my SX66 to WM5.0? Please vote and leave your opinion.
I would simply choose Helmi rom (vanilla) version, excellent speed, very stable and best of all it's a base (cleaned) rom.
btw, I mean no disrepect to Tuma, Ivan, Artz, they have not released their rom for a while now, hence their latest rls are out-dated. the latest logout rom are based on Helmi work basically with few fixes.
you may wanna include xplode's rom as another option, he has been working hard for it, and his rom is one of the best out there at the moment.
xplode?
wonder why xplodes name is not included in this poll
I did not find xplodes name on the list of ROM listed on XDA-Developers forum. By the way, what does AKU stands for?
Maybe you should put xplode's name in the pole.
Tried editing the poll but can't.
yes, XPLODE's ROM must be included also..
i have tried using his work and i found it nice too..
been using it since wifi was working great..
his work is one of the bests ROM as of the moment..
his name must be in the list too..
for now, i go for HELMI's work..
the vanilla version.. its a clean ROM..
my wifi also working.. =)
semper fidelis,
rizortiz
i think xplode is a very good one at this moment too
You are liar!
There is a THREAD for xplode ROM on "XDA-Developers forum" but there isn't wiki page for it. So there is diference between forum and wiki
forum.xda-developers.com
wiki.xda-developers.com
What was written in wiki? Latest versions -recommended to use:
How to upgrade to the AKU 3.5 WM5 Helmi beta 1.4b - newest
So why do you ask such a question when you already know the answer?!
Using Helmi's Vanilla rom now. Fantastic rom, with A2DP working. It would be good if it could be reduced further by taking out Internet Sharing, Modem Link, Pocket MSN and Clear Storage. Power_service.dll and Rotate_screen.dll also don't need.
I was using Xplode's rom for a while until I find that A2DP was not working. If that could be fixed, I would probably use Xplode's rom again as it is truly a very basic rom, so the speed is much faster.
Anyway, both Helmi and Xplode's rom are the best.
AKU

I second this vote.
Been using Xplode's ROM, since that was working fine for me.
Have switched to Helmi's vanilla-version, because I wanted an as clean as possible ROM.
I have to agree with the Vanilla-supporters here
Haven't tested other roms beside Helmi's though.
Installed this version just this morning - it's VERY nice... no annoying bugs found just yet. Works a lot faster too!
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.

I'm new smartphone user. I've done research on how to flash ROM, cause I want to flash english version. Now I have german O2 1.14.
I want original (shiped) ROM as to be stable and reliable. I thought the highest version could be the best, so I'm prepared to flash this ROM --> RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship.exe
What do you think of it?
I'd like to make sure because I don't want to flash my HD anymore then, until original 6.5 comes.

In my opinion yes HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0 is a stable Shipped ROM. I was using this for few weeks in Switzerland (Converted from German Version) and now i have switced over to cooked version.
tanks for reply. I just flashed HKCSL and I think it's OK.
What custom ROM did you flash? How is it?
Now with Laurentius
I use to change often currently i am running with L26_THDV7.5_WWE from Laurentius26 earlier was using rom from dutty. Though laurentius26 upgraded to Ver 8.0. I love 7.5 version...for its stability, will work with this for sometime and will upgrade to ver 9.0 release later. Guess it will be released in a week.
I've been using HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0 for a while... really stable rom...
b4 I switched to 6.5 Winmo ~^^
@rainbowsong2000, I'd change ROM often too, but I guess it's annoying allways to customize the phone after flashing!?
@lcw622, how is the 6.5 ROM (stability, user interface)? I'm allways interested in the new stuff - on desktop I use Win7...but on the phone I'm not used to test-->It's only my second smartphone after using Tytn for couple of months.

I am using the David's 6.5 V4 /w TF3D (only use TF3D for music playing ATM, 99% titanium bcoz it cost quite a lot of ram with the WMP+today plugin with titanium).. anyway the rom itself is stable enough for daily use... but since it's still the "BETA"... things might got a little messy sometime(for me the case would be...Dual Lock Screen....TF3D+Slide Lock..=0="...so...soft reset would be needed... but I enjoy being a test mouse XD ... and it might just bcoz of me trying to use WWE 6.5 ROM with the OEM Winmo Chinese full screen hand writing... but not the 3rd-party ones... and/ or might be the tweaks I did myself...
but I'd say... it's totally fine being daily applications...
Once again, im a little confused...i have a brand new X1..am thinnking what should I do...
should i upgrade to WM 6.5..(I dont want a cooked ROM, iwant an official 6.5 OS that i can install, upgrade, like we do when we go to Vista to Win7 etc.
BTW: Can u provide me a link for an unofficial but clean OS)
OR
Should I go on installing a cab of a TouchFlo3d
OR
Flash my X1 with a cooked ROM (still cant understand which one)
Thanx a lot..
Personally if your even contemplating flashing your X1, you might as well go with one of the 6.5 builds, they are far superior in My Opinion to the 6.1
there are several good ones out there, so its personla choice as to which you use, I guess it depends on Features cooked in, applications, battery life, stability etc.
Flash Cooked ROM with 6.5. Recent ones are very fast due to having better drivers support as opposed to stock roms
Cab of TF3D won't be optimized.. would be sluggish
alrite i agre with what you are saying cykalu, but then again, these cooked ROMs wont be originals rite? and not only that, are they all BETA or full and final ROMs??
Just wanted to know...

They won't be original but Sony Ericsson decided not to give X1 users the latest (6.5) updates. Therefore all cooked 6.5 roms are much better than original because the chefs has included and tweaked around with X2's drivers so X1 can use them which are more optimized than SE's stuff.
Beta or no Beta, as long as they work it's good. look at Windows 7 RC2, it's beta but it was basically the final after a few minor patches..
If you aren't a user who likes fiddling with your device I recommend you stick with stock ROMs. Cooked ROMs usually have bugs which range from minor to game-ending (e.g. the reset bug that seems to exist in every cooked ROM).
Personally I'm not a fan of Touchflo (especially the Leo version), it makes the inconsistent WM interface even more inconsistent.
If you really want WM6.5, flash gtrab's 5.07 ROM and install the X2 cabs from the themes and applications forum. It'll be as close as you can get to a WM6.5 ROM upgrade. There are only two bugs with this ROM that I've found, one of which is fixed by installing the X2 dialer (the other one is the reset bug that every ROM seems to have). Just sync with MS My Phone or something to minimise the impact.

I know exactly how you feel about modifying your new xperia...I was like this one month ago...My xperia is only 3 months old so I was little nervous....So I went through all the flashing tutorials in here and also downloaded BioVolt's video tutorials...And one month back I flashed my xperia for the first time...I flashed it with the Xperia Unoffcial release ROM, I did all the steps exactly as it was mentioned in the tutorials and my xperia was flashed successfully...but after that I tried to do the hard reset, I wasnt able to do hard reset twice...I thought I bricked my phone ....i was little panic...I once again went through the tutorials and done it third time...This time I was able to do a hard reset successfully and my phone booted up with the new Unofficial Xperia 6.5...after that I flashed 2 or 3 ROMs and finally sticked up with Sonblack's SB20 release which I found to be stable,fast and attractive with its touchflow manila interface...I dint had any weird experience with this one...
