Hi guys,
today I cooked my first own rom, which is customized to meet my personal requirements. A big thanks to Molski for his ROMs, which I used as a base.
Before I now apply the custom ROM to my Wizard, is it possible to test it out somewhere?!
I followed Molski's Guide (THANKS again), but still I would like to test in on a "virtual machine" instead of on my own device.
Thanks,

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

Can Someone please upload wizard aku3.3 clean version,
I just saw that Kyphur released a crosswbow version,
I would really like just a clean sime version with no addons.
If it will be possible it would be great.
Many Many Thanks
Jimmy.
I would like a clean 3.3 as well. I would prefer to do my own customizations
me too please
Can we also have it with more free ram via the page pool fix?
Somebody first have to make such a rom and then to upload it here!
I also prefer clean roms, and perform my customizations manually.
All the cooked roms we got here are result of peoples hard work that won't be payed, and thank them again for this. But, they are also humans and create roms to satisfy their own needs, therefore most of roms won't be all the way most of all wanted them to be. I try lots of roms customized to have ringtones, explorer cache and so on the storage card, but what about those who doesn't use storage card? There are roms with tons of apps, most of them useless. There are even roms with warez software... Those who can't live with this, should try to cook rom for themself, or pay some of the developers to make them a perfect rom.
So far I found Molski's roms to be most likely to the perfect one I'd like to have. If he decide to make AKU 3.3 rom, I suggest you to try it.

Well i assume the guys making the cooked roms must have a clean one. Where do they get the rom from that they use as the base of their cooked rom?
Hi all,
I am a new user to PDA phones and I have read through the wiki about this cell,
but I still have sth to ask.
1. What is Manila?
2. How can configure or add themes and tab icons in the TF3D?
Please give me a hand in starting to know more about the machine, Thx
Someone can expand or correct, this is just how I understand it to be.
1. Manilla\Rhodium = TouchFlo3d interface from HTC. It will be called TF3d as well.
Titanium = Windows Mobile 6.5 overlay that is turned on and off via Start\Settings\Today\Items\Windows Default
2. use TF3d to search. So search 'add tabs tf3d' and see if that helps.
Thanks for the answer,
I also see that there is a lot of topics about err,
upgrading the official ROMs into Custom made ROMs,
Is there anything I should notice about upgrading ROMs,
and also wt is the advantage of using 'em?

read the stickies and make sure you know what are the steps to follow to flash a rom. follow them literally. if you don't you might "brick" your phone. when u get used to flashing, the process will be easy to follow, just take your time getting used to WinMo before flashing.
Moving from a stock ROm to a Custom ROM is easy and worth the 'risk' in my opinion. You can find all you need within the Wiki to get started with the flashing of HARDSPL. You will then choose a custom ROM and then flash that ROM to your device. You will lose all data on the phone so make sure you sync before you start.
I personally am using the Energy Rom 3.0 series and I like it.
A cooked ROM or a custom ROM is created by a person (usually with a ROM kitchen) and it removes items the cook thinks are not needed and they often add in tweaks, programs and graphical enhancements.
Some people are looking for a custom ROM that makes their device fast, while others are looking to maximize their TouchFlo3D experience. I persoanlly use Energy ROM because it is Windows Mobile 6.5, it contains Titanium (the WM6.5 touch friendly interface) and because the cook put in plenty of programs and tweaks that I would do on my own.
After I install the ROM, I do go through and install all my own programs. Not every cooked ROM will match your own needs so that is when people begin cooking their own ROM within a kitchen.
I have downloaded the kitchen and attempted to cook a ROM but I find using someone else's is a bit easier.
MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command. So when you are looking for ROMS you might see that acronym.
Hello! First, thank you all for the great work.
I would like to know if there is available for Breeze a "lite WM6 ROM" (without/or very few 3rd party apps included). I've tested several versions, but all of them had quite many applications included, so I need a tip. Thank you.
Perhaps the term "lightweight" was innapropiate. What i am looking for is a vanilla wm6 rom for breeze. Any hint is welcome. Thanks.
grab one of my kitchens
wm6.1 or wm6.5 and build your own rom as you want it
even without any htc app
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...
