Hi i currently own a TILT, and i flashed the HTC OEM rom, but, im sure there is a better built more functional ROM out there, what do you guys recomend?
the tools i really really need other than the phone, is: Tasks, calendar and tomtom.
any comments will be appreciated.
thanks
If you've already flashed the HTC rom I assume you have hardSPL - if not, flash that next.
As for Roms - it's up to you. If you don't need many apps or plugins then go for a lite ROM (Dutty, Alex, Q-mobile etc). If you need more of the WM6 functions and apps go for a full Rom (Sleuth, Dutty, Schapps etc).
When you start flashing, don't forget to read the sticky about which radio works with which rom (bigger isn't always best).
Other than that, no one will really tell you which is the best rom - that depends on what you want and how you use the phone.
thanks for the info,
is there like a list of all the ROM's and what it contains?

What do different ROM's do?
Tom
Different ROM's can do a million different things.
It all depends on what the creator put in them. Dutty's ROM is probably the most popular at the minute, because it contains all the software people are after.
Remember, a ROM is basically the OS with a collection of Software in it. In Dutty's case, it's also got a number of registry tweaks which improve performance.

There's now "best" ROM to install. Each ROM has their advantages based on what the person making it wants. Dutty's ROMs are pretty good - he has lite ROMs and full blown ROMs and ROMs with the touchflo/cube. There are other ROMs : Alex's, Quentin, CUSTEL, etc.
Read about each ROM to see if they include what you want and try it out. You will have to make the decision on which ROM is best for you. If you want to make your own try using Alex's ROM Kitchen (link in my sig).
Good luck.

Why dont you both take a look on the cooked roms list on the Wiki which I have not long updated with the latest updates.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_cookedroms
It is against the forum rules to recommend ROMs as it is going to be down to personal preference. Most cooks will say they keep their ROMs as close to stock as possible. I suggest picking one with either a 23506 ( New Start button at bottom ) or 21876 build (Most stable).
Hope that helps.

Hi guys,
My Kaiser is in desperate need of a new rom, it's ground to halt. I could do a hard reset but I fancy trying something new.
I've been looking throught the latest releases. Got my eye on a couple but without reading the hundreds of pages of each rom i've no idea what the pros and cons are.
So I was wondering, are any of you using a rom that has the following...
WM 6.1/6.5
Manilla 2D (pref with Landscape support cooked in)
Finger Friendly
Facebook app cooked in
decent battery life
D3D cooked in
If you are it would greatly help me narrow down my choices.
Cheers
Flex
PDA Corner Ultimate-X.V9. It only has no Facebook app in it.
Thanks, i'll check it out!
I just loaded JJ's 6.5 WWE stable full ROM the other day and it has been a very nice build. I've been using an older beta build of his for a while. The full stable ROM is just that and has what you are looking for, I do believe.
I had to load another radio after unlocking my phone and flashed the one listed below. I chose to try it first b/c it's the radio jjblaster3 has listed for his Kaiser in his .sig; all seems to work well.
Thread is here:

Hi there!
I was just offered a Trinity, so I came here looking for information on how to update it. I already read a lot of things and managed to install the latest Radio and tried some custom ROMs, no problems whatsoever.
However, I still have some questions I can't find answers for:
1 - Why use a custom ROM? Isn't it possible to use the original WM and then install only what you want?
2 - If it is, where can I find a ROM with the original WM6.1 and 6.5?
3 - If not, what is the least modified ROM I can get with 6.1 and 6.5? Or at least some ROM with only the basics.
4 - Is TouchFlo the same as Manilla? I've seen both words but I don't know the differences.
Thanks in advance!

1. Flashing Custom ROM is faster then installing a whole package like with manila2d.
2. No, trinity only ship with original 6.0 ROM.
3. If you want 6.1 ot 6.5, flash an Ultralite ROM or cook your own. For p3600i 6.1 - try this
p3600i 6.5 try this
If you have the original p3600. Check the Trinity Upgrade Article in the wiki. Remember Lite ROM.
4.TouchFLO is the original that is shipped with the Elf/in
Kaiser etc... Manila is TouchFLO3D and it is bundled with the Diamond and Pro. And Manila2D a slimmed version of TF3D that is used in the Viva and 3G and can be installed in most WM phones.
How To downgrade w.m 6.5 To w.m 6.1 ?
I Search All The Fourm , But Not Find Anything ..
down a 6.1 rom
Your search was flawed.
If you really searched, you would find this: Blackstone Wiki with all informations you need.
download a 6.1 rom you like, do task29 first and flash it.

It's so easy! if you have already done HSPL, and I'm sure you've done it before, if you have wm6.5 now
I by myself several times switched between 6.5.x & 6.1, all you have to do is to download a ROM of WM6.1!
here below you can see some of them!
1. Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1
2. Park Basic 1.3
3. Cloudy 0.2
4. Black New III by Kenia
And USPL will do nicely - my HD is working proof...
Performing Task 29 would not be bad idea if device was flashed often.
I recommend to flash latest stock 6.1 ROM you can find for your device. If not, latest Orange UK will be pretty good choice, due to later version of radio (1.14).
AFAIK, Park Basic is discontinued...
I would suggest to flash a stock ROM since it already has 6.1 and then flash a 6.1 ROM of your choice. I've experienced issues when i downgrade from 6.5 to 6.1 sometimes.
Just to be on the safer side, flash the stock rom and then flash the 6.1 rom of your choice.
I would suggest to flush stock rom and to stay with it The last one for ORANGE is a perfect rom imho

A guide for downgrading already exists. Just scroll down to the ottom of the first post in this thread
Reservations about Orange ROM
Hi, I wouldn't use the Orange ROM. I spent some time getting rid of it. Main drawback is the AGPS. It insists on making a data call everytime you want to use GPS software. Also, no Google mobile map, and when downloaded from Google, no satellite view. I would recommend the standard HTC 1.56 ROM, that uses just GPS and is just as quick.
Regards
Mike
I have Garmin and Igo software working flawlessly. No data calls made ever. GPS works fine. I dont use googlemaps so no opinion on that
I made a 6.1 ROM a while back.. check my "Energy" thread for it.

Well, a-GPS can be easily disabled, so that's no big deal. There are several tools to do that here on forum, like HD Tweak. And you HAVE TO disable it if using iGO...
But standard ROM is also not a bad idea... not bad at all...

Can't agree more With all due respect and gratitude to the cooks and the hard work and efforts they put into their roms, for a basic user like me the stock rom turns out to be the best and Ive tested quite a few custom ones.
