Your Favorite Rom

OK, So I am completely new to this stuff on a consumer basis. I used to work for Symbol Technologies testing Windows Mobile 5 when it was still in alpha/beta on our products. Now, my question for you all is Which is your favorite ROM?
I have been looking around here and I have found a few, I was able to get my SIM unlocked and my SID unlocked in about 20 mins on my Cingular 8125 So Thank you all for your contributions on that
I also learned a ton of stuff about these devices that even after working with them for almost a year I didnt know.
I decided to make this poll not only for my own curiousity, but for those people who are new to this like I am and want a qucik opinion on whats best out there. If i leave something out let me know
Thanks again everyone for this forum, its awsome!
I'm sure I've left a lot out, but I put the roms on this poll that i frequently came across in reading all the posts I've hit

T-Mobile 2.26 is my favourite, but faria 3.2 is a good candidate.

Faria rom by yards! It was the first rom to really wow me since the release of mobile 2005!

according to the poll ..
anyways i've tried farias, might give it another shot but i liked Molski's rom so as soon as i saw the upgrade i wanted to give it a try. im happy with it get the job done.

Faria's !
Without the slightest hesitation !
Cheers

I think it is kind of like asking "what is the best car". I have not seen a "bad" ROM yet here, but what are you looking for - speed or features or comfort and ease or ????? - again just like a car. You will find it from any of the "wizards" (pun intended) who put the results of their efforts on here for you - most noticeably Faria, Shogunmark, Molski, Risidoro, and Summiter (WHERE IS HE??).
I must have flashed my phone 20 or more times by now, with never once having a problem - JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!! Try a few and see what you like.

Funny, I thought the same thing this morning. And I LOVE your ROM. But I've avoided being one of the 20 million people asking you to hurry up and release RC1 so now I'll use this Poll as an excuse: bring RC1 out now and you will CRUSH this poll!!!

Wow! That is amazing stuff. I knew about the drive crash, but not that you still needed info. I could reinstall Beta 4 and try the voice command deal you asked about, but I know nothing about the page pool.
Anyway, all good stuff, and your ROM is destined for greatness.

Cooking for dummies. coming to your kitchen

In 3-4 weeks, Ill release some ingredients to be used when cooking in hypercore kitchen. Ill give a very (ill try) simple tutorial, I will write it so that a 5 year kid could cook a rom, and if you need to ask questions who to cook the rom (easy way, add/remove packages, and build rom)
NOT gonna give guide on dumping, porting, registry w/e. you have to learn that by yourself, searching the forums, reading, reading, reading, searching, searching, testing, failing, learning, learning.....and finally learning, always.
and be prepared, if you decide to realease your rom, that you think works 100% without flaws, because you test it all.
Im gonna prepare you for the fact that there is no perfect rom, why? Because what works "flawless, with no error, looks like the most amazing rom ever created and you should get nobels peaceprice, thats how good it is".....never works "flawless, with no error, looks like the most amazing rom ever created and you should get nobels peaceprice" on other ppls devices.
why is it that if you buy a new car, the car looks great, many speak highly about it, so you get it...but f..k the "insert w/e name here" dont work, and you start looking for other bugs....and you find many. You decide to get rid of it, but...the guy that got the car made before yours, buildt same way, by same ppl, using same materials, it should be a ****ty car too, but its flawless, runs miles by miles, can go around the world on one gallon of gas...and so on.
same is with roms guys.
Even on my device, using my preffered homecook, dont work same way from time to time. I have a os.nb I always use, cooked with my stuff. Some times it bricks my phone...some times its buggy and slow, other times (most of the time) its running like hell, and are steady as a rock.
Why?
How the f..k should I know...thats life..
so back to the part where i say something about releasing roms.
You ARE gonna get ppl pissing at you, yelling at you and posting warnings that your rom is gonna kill your device and blow up russia at the same time.
ppl are gonna ask the same question 4569 times aday (aprox ) and ofcourse you gonna get happy ppl, whos demanding that you set up a paypal so that they can give you their money
when all this is said.......
You are gonna get a basic build from me, only one language: WWE. (official based wm6, NOT ported)
Ill add a bunch of OEM PACAGES, so that you can remove or add as you please.
and thats all
if you need more, do the research.
Im gonna take some days not working on roms...my wife is gonna kill me soon if I spend more time on this for some time, but ill come to forums, but wont release any new stuff for some time. My herald needs to calm down too, I flash and reflash my device more times a week then I dare to think about.
cheers all

wow. what a rant. i feel for you though. i have to answer wierd questions by people also.

You, my friend, are the man!

Where's a worship icon when you need one? lol j/k
You're the man. This came JUST in time. I'm trying to cook my first ROM and while I can take a rom apart and put it back together, I still can't figure out how to put in the programs that I want. I just want to be able to make my own ROM so I don't have to install/uninstall things all the time, with the tweaks that I want and other things.
One random question: Anyone ever heard of saving either pushmail settings or at the very list a contact list as PART of the ROM? Makes it easier to get my phone setup... I know I'm lazy. lol

we are all lazy....
thats why we spend so much time infront of computers

Itje, I have created a tutorial (for my own lack of memory power) on how to use the hyper core kitchen if you'd like to save some time. My tutorial covers dumping .nbh files into .nb files, dumping .nb into oem and sys, dumping xip, and rebuilding. It doesnt cover cooking though as I'm still a newbie.
Let me know if you would like it and I'll send it to ya.

thx man, but I got it covered, but I appreciate the offer

I'm still waiting, drooling, over this thread... lol
Since all I'm doing is making a more customized version of YOUR Touch-it that I can use personally to make it easier to me when I have to hard reset, I figure you'd be the best person to listen to. lol
I'm looking to even have an exchange server setup into the ROM so that even the contacts and calendar get "hard reseted" into the device.

No problem bro. Eagerly awaiting this as well! I was trying to create some packages from cabs using the kitchen but I was having trouble using the flashinitfiles generator to generate the init files. Cant wait!

Cooking questions

Anyone have the HTC_TouchDialer OEM pack or just the rgu file.
Trying too cook again, missing the finishing touches. [Whats that burning smell?]
Oh, one more thing; how do I preset the settings for battery status, today screen, etc. (I don't want to be screwing with settings after flashing).
I have it working for the most part (it flashes and works....mostly), I'm just trying to figure out how to get the rest of it working the way I want it to.
Thanx!

Ok, can't get the bluetooth working either.

I can't get this to work and I really don't have time to figure it out.
I just wanted to cook a rom with MS VoiceCommand built in since everyone else excludes it.
Anyone have a MS VoiceCommand cab?
ROM cooking == headache.
You guys have a WHOLE lot more patience then I do.

Yes, cooking roms can become a head ache... It takes time to cook a good rom. As for the oem packages, just search the forum, there all over the place.
Good luck,

I was really frustrated last night. I ended up putting Open Touch 3.0 Slimline back on and actually paying for MS Voice Command 1.6 ($40 USD.... ouch).

Why would did you buy it? If you really had to have it then you should have PM me and I would have tried to find time and cook a custom rom for you instead of wasting your money like that...
I don't mind helping people, when I have time.
I will work on yet another release with voice command included to help prevent others from having to waste their money.

I just got used to hitting the button on the side of my phone and saying
"Call Jamie Cell" and it dials Jamie's mobile number.
The rest of slimline is great.
If you ever need a touch dialer or comm manager skin, let me know.

ttran001 I could really use your help on cooking some roms up. I already have my OEM SYS and ROM folders extracted. Just a lil confused on how to add and subtract stuff. PM me some time and maybe you can set up a lesson for me when you have some free time. Appreciated

I want to join such lesson too. The only reason i'm not cooking my ROMs is that i don't know what things can i remove from the SYS folder, how to change page pool size without a page pool size changer, and how can i get so much free RAM as ttran does.
So ttran, if you would open a learning thread, i'll be the first one to read it!

Folks,
I will try to open a thread to help you out as soon as I get some free time from my other projects and trying to fix minor issues folks are having with me releases..
But please remember that I too had to spend lots of hours reading from this great forum and after hundreds of test flashs finally got where I am now.
I'm only a beginer cook compared to some of the great ones in this forum.
The main point is it takes time to figure things out and when you do you will know it like the back of your hand.
If some one show you everything, then what have you really learned?
This is about becoming a cook of roms for users to enjoy.
Itje wrote a very good howto cook thread and should be a very good starting point for anybody who wants to become a cook.
What I've learned is that it's not about cooking a good rom and having people say cool stuff about yourself, it's about cooking a good stable rom where users enjoy and rely on daily.
Sorry for such a long post,

Duttys Donated X1 will be return to the Community [My Sincere Apologies]

Hi all first and mostly I want to apologise for not giving you a ROM, but due to recent activities here I decide to stop my work here and stop making ROMS for now.
For People who dont know already I was asked to cook for X1 and was donated a device which XMOO sent to me.
I also was working on HD AND WAS CURRENTLY TIED UP IN making a ROM FOR IT. I was also working on X1 ROM, but didnt have time between both devices and I stopped for awhile.
Since my last HD ROM ALot of stuff , issues, etc arise here on XDA and I was the main attraction, long story short ,
I given up cooking at the moment and I feel bad not making a rom for u guys, The rom I have still needs work doing and I cant support it if I release it as I have a lot of personal stuff I need taking care of.
I contacted XMOO about sending the device to him so you Guys can decide what to do with it or give it to another CHEF, ETC,
Once again my sincere apology especially for all those who believe in me and all my supporters but whats happened here has really put me off.
If there are any better advise on how to donate the device back to the community just let me know.
Thanks Dutty.

Sorry to see you go Dutty, best of luck with you and your family!
On a selfish note though, any chance you can release what you already have for the X1? Would love to try it, bugs and all, knowing that you wont be supporting it.

sorry to hear about this. this is a real loss to the community. hope you change you mind soon
any chance of convincing you to to realease your unfinished rom at least the cooks over hee can build on top of it.

oops....just noticed tjax reply

Like many others I was looking forward in trying your ROM for the X1.
With an ackward eye did I follow the stuff going on in the Blackstone forum and respect your decision to leave the forum, although it breaks my heart a bit.
Best of luck to you and your family!
Maybe we'll see you in the future....

If you could release the kitchen /sources to the X1 community, then maybe some other enterprising chef could pick up where you left off. I'm interested in learning the process behind creating a ROM but I'll be honest and say I wouldn't know where to start, even after reading some guides here on XDA-Dev.
Thanks for at least considering making a community ROM, and good luck with what you go on to do Dutty.

Goodluck to you and hopes everything turns out for the better. I know everyone was looking forward for your ROM here, and some just couldnt wait and start saying things they do not mean. All in all thanks for your effort...my suggestion regarding the X1 KEEP it until maybe one day you can bless us with your work.

The device should be sold and everyone who donated should get their money returned.

Dutty has quit. Bugger.... Might get an iphone? Gotta say, that Palm Pre looks pretty cool?

Wait for the Touch Pro 2 Clove is taking pre orders

Its a sad day and I hope to see Dutty back in XDA asap, but **** happens...
Maybe XMOO should PM everyone who donated for this, we could see together over PM's if there is someone else who we would think would benefit the X1 community so much, that we want donate the device to.
If we are talking abotu selling MAYBE I could be interested, but just maybe at this point... I would rather see it go to good use...

I was one of the donators and my suggestion is to sell the phone and donate the money to xda.

Well Im not 100% behind that... I have donated to XDA with my two usernames and will donate in the future, but this was meant to other use...

Wasn't Xmoo after a spare to do some Android work, maybe it could be used for that

Been following your work Dutty eventhough i own a Raphael.. well sad to see all the hecticness that were around. Well the best thing you could to is to take care of personal life first... xda forum will allways be here... good luck bro.. keep an eye on devs here so they don't go on wrong paths .. they might need your knowledge some times.. well anyway take care of your self first

Well Dutty all are behind you on this... about the X1 let Xmoo decide.
but i as all cooks here are very interested in your blackstone rom 1.9 and if that can be ported to X1, please please please contact me or any good chef out there and make a final contribute
that would be like, well lets call it religous

hey Dutty!
Im really sorry to hear that you're leaving. A sad day for the xda community!
I just wish you all the best and hope you'll return one day or if you're moving somewhere else let us know!
Thanks for your great roms!

So much has been said on the whole "Dutty Dilemma" (Someone should write a book about it! )
My first and last comment on it: Too bad it happened, Dutty has been wronged.
On the device, I'm not a donator, but I'd say let him keep it after all the crap.
If people strongly feel it must be sold, I'm a potential buyer.
Still hoping for Dutty to change his mind and put the X1 he got to use though.

im somewhat sure he needed one for siassambly reasons. to check hardware etc.
id rather have android on my hpone anyway but since i donated nothing ... let the donaters decide
@dutty
well to sad, ive never seen any of your roms since this is my first winmopho. but still, GL and have fun out there

The sad thing about it is that it wasn't the people on the xperia thread that were giving him so much hell. The people that donated the device to Dutty supported him the whole way. I would say at the least the people who donated the funds to get the device should get his beta rom.
Thats my last two cents

Everybody is a cooking master these days?

Pretty wierd, Itje has been in-active for a couple of days (probably due to easter) and all of a sudden everybody is "releasing" roms like its there speciality?
And when i read these threads and somebody askes a simple thing as "are you putting youtube in it?" i see answers like "it is pretty hard to get youtube up and running, i dont know how to do that"..
Is this something everybody wants to see? Imo cooking/releasing roms should be done only by people who have the knowledge and knowhow off everything.

If they want to try to cook, why not?
It's only a win-win situation
They learn more & have more experiences and maybe they'll even getting better than Itje

very very succinctly put..
jerpeleas kitchen is very very simple to use.
and is perfect for creating that "personal rom"
unfortunately, whats happening is what often happens, and is that everyone suddenly decides to throw out that personal rom for public consumption.
now i think its great that people are trying things out, but i do think, ladies and gentlemen that you should keep your experiments a bit more "internal" at least till you understand what you're doing a bit better..
please??

Agreed. Glad to see more cooks or more people willing to learn to cook. But sad to see lots of them either unfinished, or not tested fully w/ lots of bugs here and there. And I don't see any unique features/characteristic/fixes among most of them since all are based on the same kitchen without going into details to learn and create.

In other words, people, if you wanna try to cook your own roms thats your own choice, but stop the posting on the forums if there arent any new feautures/bug fixes in it.

alway nice to see more people cooking.
but like myself i cooked a rom with jerpelea's kitchen.
i twisted and turned allot over and made it to my personal favors.
but i won't release for public just because it is to my own taste and i know that allot of peoplehere have different choises and willings.
it's great that cooking is made easy for everybody but if you don't have the real knowledge like our first timer chefs keep it for yourself and enjoy it as much as you can!
but hey..
that's just me

The word is not "cook" kids: it's READ and SEARCH.
Spread the word
I cook
You cook
He cooks
She cooks
We cook
You cook
They cook
But jerpelea is the biggest cooker of them all !!
Been cooking since january over WinMo 6.5, nothing worth sharing yet... until jerpelea uploaded his kitchen and I solved 6 weeks of problems in 6 minutes:
I eagerly read all 49 pages of his suggestions/tips, and included a couple of his packages into my own recipe, now I can fire the oven

yup I've been cooking my own for a while now, but I've never released one.. mostly as I do it to learn more..

ive made 6.5/manila2 roms but havnt uploaded them because of this whole situation.
I do think however its better that ppl make their own roms and learn more about their phones then being a drone to somone else.
Its too bad that some in the past ruined it for some to truelly learn what needs to be changed in some cases. because alot of cooks are protecting their roms. so disecting their rom to see whats really in it is a bit harder then normal.
not speaking down to itje or about him. but if we were able to truely dissasemble his rom we could find out why myfaves doesnt work.
but cooking my own rom i got myfaves working but using jerpelea kitchen i get dumb little bugs

That's not what I mean. But I wish new cooks instead to rush out a buggy rom (especially for 6.5 which is still beta and still with lots of issues w/ X1), could spent more time in clean up and bugfix, then release an tested and quality rom. It just a waste of time of you and your users if your rom is too buggy to be useful. Or released roms w/ features/softwares w/ bugs and issues that you don't have idea how to get them fix.

I kinda like to see all the new ROMS out. We went from 1 or 2 to a bunch. Granted there are a lot of buggy ROMS and people should do a lot more searching and more beta testing but being one of the new cooks i can see the reason for trying to release it. Some people use there phones completely differently that you do so i would think that others would find bugs that you don't. I know when i released my lite rom there were issues that i never even thought of trying so i had like 5 versions in like 2 weeks.
Most people don't add new features because a lot of the stuff is hard to come by in my opinion that is. They just release a different take on the programs and features.
I dunno just my take....

I am not sure if this is his true intention. But you got to understand this is the side effect that the Bepe's kitchen he use (which is a lot more effieicent and easy to manage, and I start to use it as well since my V3.x series).
In fact, Itje is very generous in sharing what he could share in the Chef sharing thread, or his own threads w/ the helps from Fards, Akp99 (man, how come I don't have such an helpful team???). All you need is search, or ask the right man.

I have seen the same thing..
I welcome new chefs..its all good, but as said before, its not the "real" work of chefs, its more a "Ikea" sollution, buy/get the kitchen parts..put it together and use it at home...
And as jack said, please guys keep making roms..its cool..but rather then releasing roms that others has made (Jerpelea) try to make one from scratch...
I must also admit with this new wave of chefs, it also keeps getting very annoying that many of the new rom makers keep sending pm's, e-mails and adds me to msn. It didnt bother me at start, but now Its getting pretty frustrating.
And I am not even allowed to say no, they keep on coming asking for everything I know, everything I got..and if I say no, im a cocky mofo who wants to be the topchef all by himself..etc etc
I have to be rude, and I have to put ppls requests down. If not, I would not have time to do make new roms, because I was personally guiding everyone else.
That IS NOT why im here. I have no interest at all beeing a teacher...I can share stuff, but then I also like to get something back (not talking donations here) and that is a more respectful tone, specialy when I decline helping.
But, I try to point ppl in the right directions..telling them what to look for or where to find a thread with the stuff they need..usually that is not enough...cause they keep coming back asking what to look for....
But then I dont reply, because if you cant find it, then you can find another hobby..and that I dont back up on..
I have been searching this forums, so many times for new stuff, to learn new things, and I STILL DO.
I help if I can, I share when I can..but dont add me to msn to ask for cooking help. Cause you wont get it..sorry.
I know this post can be considered a bit off topic..but then again, its not..cause that is whats happening "behind the scene" of all the new "chefs"
Im sorry if this offends anyone..and im sure there is ppl among the new guys that are gonna get way better then me in this...after all, its just a hobby

I dont like ppl dissambling my roms
I tried for some time to have open roms..damn I even left in the rgus, so ppl could dump the rom and recook for personal use..
But what they didnt know was that I hid some small codes in the base of the rom
So when suddenly new roms started popping up..from ppl claiming it was their own work...can you guys guess what I found in the roms???? nahhhh..guess one more time
Then I made some "rules" Do not recook and release my roms, or I will protect them...
To bad..it still happened...
So I locked my roms, and if ppl dont like it...I dont care

Oh please don't take what ive said the wrong way. I understand the reasoning behind it.
not to be that guy but i still get the files i need from ur rom. like new images for replacement of the old green highlights.
but i also respect your work to not release anything as i understand how time consuming it is.
as i used to skin for psp's and windows mobile 6 and 6.1 standard neo and sliding panel home screens.

I have to say I've been reading this thread with particular interest, as I could be considered one of the "chefs" Itje is talking about as I recently asked him to point me in the direction of how to create ROMs. I personally found in all the custom ROMs that I tried several different little tweaks or something that I didn't use and wouldn't use and all I can say to people is, unless you've created a new TF3D or something HUGE then don't publicise ROMs - Once i eventually learn how to create on, I will simply use it just to create a ROM that is PERFECT for ME - and then I will work on creating something spectacular!
And that's my 15minutes of fame for the day

P.S. I've just re-read the post and there is no hidden meaning in what I said regarding asking Itje! I know it sounds like there is, but there's not !

I'll open it out a little more: If anyone can help a long-time reader, small-time poster (ME!) and point me in the direction of how to create a custom ROM I'll be ever grateful
thanks

dont worry, im not aiming at any person...but its a typical thing...its the same over and over again...same way

I dont see any problems in all these new roms. If there is nothing special, people wont be interested so that the "problem" will be solved by itself.

Yes, I'm an Ikea cook, as Itje said. I'm only ever after a bare-bones ROM with whatever XIP\SYS improvements updates may provide.
I once published one of my "Ikea assembly" efforts for my earlier Eten X500, acknowledging the base was from PDAVIET, and was inundated with requests, complaints etc etc. So now I just use these Ikea efforts.
Question: does anyone know why official ROM updates seem never to use NETCF3.5 over v2.xx ?
V3.5 has been available for well over 18 months now
