I just unpacked my att 8925 tilt this afternoon and its a huge upgrade from the 8125 i had for a year and a half. Anyway i wanted to see what the best way to pimp this thing out. I tried out the program Mobile Shell by SPB. Great program as you all know. Anyway my friend highly recommended xda. I read through the faqs and im still a little weary of what i should do.

is the rom i think works best. I just wanna make sure i can use this one. here are my device details:
Current ROM Version: 1.62.502.0
Radio Version: 1.27.14.09
Do i find a rom thats compatible with my radio, how do i find that?
Thanks in advance, sorry if i jumped around.
If anyone tells you to search for the answers, then a pox on them. We need a good ROM choosing thread every so often for everybody's sake.
I'm with Dutty's Diamond V1 now, and personally I find it much slower than his previous hybrid ROMS, V1 or V2. I haven't tried any of the newer ROMS since then, although that's what I'm about to do now.
Even Dutty himself downgraded from his diamond ROM.

First, this thread will be moved soon, as this is not the place for a discussion thread about rom preferences. Those types of discussions should take place in the Kaiser General forum. This forum is for developing roms.
Second, those people who will tell you to search and try them yourself do so with good reason. "Best rom" is an inherently ambiguous and subjective description as it depends on your language, carrier, usage, programs you like, etc. So please to not cop an attitude with those who are simply trying to remind other users to follow the forum rules, it is not helpful and it really annoys the people here who spend a great deal of free time helping the same people who are constantly complaining. If you don't like the rules, take it up with the administration.

***BE SURE TO HARD SPL BEFORE DOING ANYTING***
Finally, since this will probably get moved anyway, i'll tell you that I have used recently Shoguns Death V4.1 BE edition, Leo's Diamond V9, Dutty's hybrid v2 from april 29th, Garmin's DK1.2, Dutty's Diamond Rom, Sakajati's Hyperdragon, and gullum's new rom. I personally like Garmin's new rom the best, with shogun's a close second and dutty's hybrid v2 third. That being said, all the roms are great. You will need to just see what ones you like best. I know that there are a few more than i didn't mention, but that is only because i haven't used them yet so i cannot speak to their quality.
I am trying to figure out which Diamond Rom works best on the Kaiser. I am looking for speed and reliability. So far I have only used L26's rom V5 and V9. I would prefer a rom with MS Voice Command but I can install that later if needed. Thanks everyone.
Hyperdragon for me
I have found great speed and most importantly stability with Hyperdragons ROM. They are not bloated and you can install what you need on them. After trying and flashing roms every week, i have been hanging on to the last Hyperdragon that I installed since last 30 days. Its remarkable for me.
And it seems to be going strong.
And someone else will reply that he loves another ROM, I'm hooked on ROMeOS for example.
Really, the best thing to do is to try out a few, you'll find out what is important for you, and you'll end up with a ROM that YOU will like.
Well I appreciate everyones input. I have only tried L26's Roms. I am in the process of trying Hyperdragons and will try your recommendation next. Thanks again.
Check my ROM thread. It will be updated daily.
I hope that i can finish all Cooked 6.1 ROM's till friday. Ill do my best.
Yeah, You were not kidding when you said Ultimate thread. I saved it to my favorites. Since there are so many, do you yourself have a preference? I have tried L26 V5 and V9. V5 was the most stable for me, V9 has some issues for my device. I have also tried HyperDragon III 1.1.6 version which has been decent and has great graphics. I think I may try Duttythroy's next.
I've found Dutty's Diamond to be the quickest on my Tilt.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398271
I tried a recent version of hyperdragon and it was sickeningly fast. Never thought it'd be possible on the tilt. But it had issues with wmp crashing the phone, which I believe is fixed now. I've tried sleuth's, but it's not diamond I don't believe. Was quite slow (too old I guess). Hopefully new version coming soon will haul ass. Am on l26 right now and it's fast compared to older roms, but dog slow compared to hyperdragon. Quite stable though and I love the look of the stock diamond. Glossy black almost
i tried em all
Hyperdragon IIIs or IIIr for me!
I believe SJ is coming out with a new one sometime soon. sweeeeeeeeet
Garmin ROM 1.2
I have tried lot of ROMS (even Dutty's) for kaiser, but what I found the best ROM is Garmin ROM 1.2 till now.
Gullum's ThrottleDiamond
Try Gullum's Throttle Diamond Rom. I've tried all of the previously mentioned ones and enjoyed most, but Gullum's gives you more functionality similar to a diamond in my opinion.
Getting used to the Throttle Launcher will be your only challenge if you have not had experience with it before.
Good luck!
From the Diamond ROM's I've tried... I think HyperDragon IIIs is the best, mainly because of it's stability. It is based on 19591. The others I've tried are Dutty v1, Garmin DK1.2 and L26 v8... which are all based on 19588.
My humble opinion
I dont know about you guys, and im not planning of arguing who is the best cook in here, but for me L26 roms are the greatest roms! i used to check the forum on a daily basis just to update my ROM to the latest L26 one, but u all know he has been busy while developing his new ROM, so how many of u have been able to calm your flashing addiction in all this time??
As for myself...i lasted till like mid January...the withdrawal was killing me lol...how bout you??
ohh 72 views and just one vote besides mine? come on, speak up!!
i too have faltered, despite my signature I miss L26 roms

I'm pretty sure Leo WAS cooking for the blackstone, and quit cooking for the Kaiser months ago. Is there any reason you've been holding out on flashing other roms?

I was a hyperdragon guy myself until i bought my fuze, but sadly SJ does not cook for the Raphael. As for Leo I know he was cooking for the Touch HD for awhile.
I was using his M2D version until he stopped making newer ones Right now im using PdaCorner V17 ( WM 6.5 ) and am loving it. Ive been swapping things from HDIII to Athine to you name it Hard to break the addiction
I've always been a dragon.

If the Fuze had a tilting screen, I would have bought one a long time ago. I'm with you though, NATF had the best ROMs.
Yeah, when I checked the blackstone forums, L26 was over there (someone had already mentioned).
I've stuck with his ROMs though because...I dunno...I just think that even if they haven't been updated in a while, they are the best for what I want. I'm very picky and I do judge books by their covers...Most of the other cooks don't have the style I like...or they don't put the programs I want/put too many programs I don't want. L26's roms are tasteful, stylish, and functional.
I've actually never tried L26's ROMs i remeber I was going to but then when It said it had to be security unlocked I had no idea what that was because I was a uber-noob
Hello, couple of days ago i moved back to windows mobile and bought a HD...So far i have flashed the latest stock ROM, Dutty's 2.3,Touch of HD 3.4.2, wm 6.5 version ..... and I would say the stock ROM is the best so far
Other options ? Any ideas which is the most used rom ?
Regards,

the roms we use, are the ones we like. you need to run the one you like
you wont get a vote here on "whose is the best rom?"
didn't ask whose rom is the best....i asked what is the rom that most of you use and maybe why...I don't want any vote....I don't think any chief would mind hearing opinions about their roms....Might help em gettin better .....Anyways, if the staff thinks that my question is wrong...the thread can be trashed

I think the 2 most common rom's used (correct me if I'm wrong) are Duttys & Laurentius26
Dutty has a number of rom's released with varied reports on each so its best to read each thread and make up your own opinion. Personally the best thing you could do is flash a rom, try it out and make your own opinion. I have flash3ed countless rom's and still haven't found the perfect one!

It depends which criteria you have. On rom is stable, another have more functions another a nicer interface another is faster another has more free space.
Write down your own criteria and check which ROM is the best for. Most of the users here are still searching (see Fallen Spartan)

Me too. I am back to stock, although I did compress manilla textures in it.
Even tried many radios, but back to stock radio as well.
Great thing are done with roms here, but they have IMHO to many oddities.
Still, HTC could learn a trick or two overhere....
I did flash my Elf (Old Touch) with a mature cooked rom, and I am happy with that.
No doubt there will be great Touch HD roms here, when I have bought my Pro2
I have also tried Laurentius26 ROM.It has a lot of features that i like (big start menu...i mean very big :-D)....but also found some bugs (i fixed one)...It's very fast and i like that
Duttys is a little to slow...i think...
I will flash right now the xtralight version of miri's 6.5 wm (now that viczena said that it's fast)
Greetings from Romania,

Very very duummm question? Or is it, where can i get Stock WM 6.1, i flashed mine, and i dont know wich one to use, they are all great, so i am heading back to original? So if you could please help me.
Well i'm just going along with whatever roms come out, so far tryed 6 of them a week apart, about same. I'm sticking now to 1 new rom a month.
Nice looking rom
So could you please tell me if there is any rom with nice interface? I've tried most of Duty's , MaryOne and much more, but I can't find any which has cool TF3D, every tab backgrund (I don't want to spend half of my day to resize a picture just to make a background for every tabs).
P.S. Sorry for my english
Hey everyone
I am trying to figure out which version of WM is best for the my phone. What are the pros and Cons of 6.1 vs 6.5?
and what are the best builds I can get for both? I have 2 Kaiser phones (HTC 8925) and would like to install 6.1 on one and 6.5 on the other to see which works best for me.
Thanks

6.1 is official and stable, 6.5 is unofficial and beta therefore there are some stability issues . Some roms more than others.
Beyond that , with two Tilts, lucky you. Put a stable 6.1 on one to use everyday and with the other, try every rom that looks and sounds good until you find the one that works for you.

Yeah I don't recommend 6.5 anymore. It screws up all the time.
wow, Intresting I have been playing around with 6.5 currently and I do really like the new Start menu in 6.5 (the larger buttons are fantastic) over 6.1 start menu.
hhmmm
so what is the most stable 6.1 I can get?
or should I keep the 2nd one on 6.0.....?

Don't stay on 6.0, you might as well use two cups and a string to make calls. There are a lot of really nice things about 6.5 that I like a lot. Finger friendliness is one of them. But since we don't have an official version yet, everyone is experimenting and pushing the limits. " let's take this puppy out for a spin and see what it'll do " kind of thing. Chefs are not going for a nice safe stable version of 6.5. They are leaving that up to M$.
I use stylez' Black rom ( check sig ) it is as good as 6.1 gets. But I have also used shifu's v17, abusalza's X v.9, TPC's Elite v6 and mbarvian's Solice v3.1, also all good roms. Flash them all and see wnat you like best.
I ran duttys last rom for almost a year with only having to reset 2 times. You can't do what with a 6.5.

Soft or hard? If that's soft, did you have routine soft resets and you only had to manually reset twice, or do you just not actually run anything.

Alright so I am now on "tylez' Black rom" and so far it is my favorite Rom.
is there a user manual for Touch Flo some where?
I installed the M2DC and am getting ready to play with differnt Themes. but I am having hard time customizing the touch flo.
but my main Question is under the "Programs" Tab in touch flow I would like to add a button that links to a certain File Directory. I can add File Exploer there, but not a set file directory. I created a Shortcut to the file and tried to add that but it didn't work. any Ideas? Ideally under that "program tab I'd like to add a link to the "Games Directory"
any help?
I ran all sorts of things, and all I did were a couple of hard resets.

Funny you say that. I was going to comment (And know I guess I am) that The 6.5 start menu is the only thing keeping me from using 6.5. The 6.1 start menu self organizes. The programs I use tend to stay at the top of the list. If it's not there, then I can go to the programs tab.
I wouldn't rule out HTC WM 6.0 ROMs

Maybe this is an AT&T Tilt ROM or network specific thing because I've found WM 6.0 to be the most reliable hands down out of the numerous WM HTC WWE ROMs I've evaluated and even one WM 6.5 Customised ROM. My calls are reliable and clear and there don't seem to be the same 'screen flash' issues coming out of powersaving mode and occasional silent ring tones that the WM 6.1 ROMs gave me.
It's not the fastest in terms of GUI performance but as far as GPS performance is concerned people may as well use a sextant, almanac and maps to navigate because it'll be quicker than many GPS equipped ROMs using WM 6.1 and 6.5. This is because WM 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs require different radio firmware than the original WM 6.0 ROMs and these new Radios are weaker at/allocate less power to receiving the satellite signals.
It depends on what the owners priorities and intended uses for the phone are, as to which ROM is most suitable.
Nothing to do with the actual topic

We've gotten some pretty entertaining people in the last several months. I'm just catching up from missing half a year, and you people are pretty damn funny.

Used with TPC's and Abusalza's 6.5 naked or stripped versions, and the performance was very good. I wouldn't try to use it with full versions as it will have to compete with , Manila, MotoHome, and or Titanium/cHome for resources.
I've been using this 6.5 rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
It has been much more stable than the default 6.1 AT&T rom that I used for the last two years. Reception is even better.
