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...
I'm just looking for a rom with standard liberated snapvue abilities with the best phone fuctionality.
Also i have a Swedish keybard on my shift so i need full swedish layout for my keyboard.
So, what rom should i pick?
I'd go for "Age of reason"
@Flanimal - Have you tried Gullum's and i00's Roms also ?
Is thaiugo's Rom faster / more stable ?
I am also searching for the 'perfect rom' for my shift, and wanting to find out your opinions.
Thanks

I'm using thaiugo's are of reasons too. The I00 rom can use MMS, but too heavy. I've installed QIP on it, and tryed to serf for web... and it went down. Gullum's roms 6.5 is heavy, and i havent' tryed another one.
But Gullum has a WM6.1 cooked rom also. That's what I am currently using.
I am trying to flash Thaiugo's Age of Reason to see if there is a difference or not, but currently i am experiences some difficulties in attaching Snapvue to Windows 7.

Yes I found thaiugos ROM to be the fastest and most stable, and most compatible with programs (youtubeplay works on it).
I tested Thaigo , i00 and Gullums Roms. In my opinion WM6.1 by Gullum combines the best look, functionality and programs preloaded.
I use Thaihugos Age of Reason. It is fastest, more free RAM/storage space and not full of programs you never need. You can install only programs you actually use to save storage.
..and Thaihugo.. if you are reading this, please cook same kind of very light rom but WM6.1...

That's probably why I didnt't use Thaiugo's ROM more than a day. Althought it is fast and stable, i always flash the lastest OS onto my devices. WM6.5 takes too mouch resources, so i sticked to WM6.1
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...
Hi, I have seen poeople on here ask time and time again "which is the best ROM" which for me is a pointless subjective question. However I would like to ask something similar. I have been trying 6.5 ROMS for a while now based on the 6.5.3 build (start button at the bottom). All roms I have tried have had the faults, not one has been 100% yet.
I dont want loads of apps and tweaks really, nothing fancy, all I want is a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should. I dont need eye candy or invisible this or that, just a ROM as if it came out as a stock 6.5 HD rom.
Is there such a ROM I wonder?

1. There is no stock WM6.5 ROM for HD
2. If you want stock ROM, you can use stock ROM, all other ROMs are tweaked ROMs according to Chief's taste. Almost everybody wants newest stuff, so Chiefs are making ROMs with newest builds so it's logical that in every ROM there are some bugs. If you want some fastest and most bug-free ROM I suggest you to use something based on WM6.1 or even stock ROM if you really want "a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should"

If your looking for a wm6.5 rom close to stock, then you should try Miri's, very little done to it
hi, i've used EnergyROM for ages, but realized that is not for me. Most people say that energy rom is the top - ideal ROM.
yes, the ROM was good, but after some months i realized that i need someting more proffesional - not a fancy eye candy rom with lot of apps. i must flash the new energy rom circa once a month, because of laggs.
so, i tried Miri ROM and i can say that is the best ROM i've ever tried. Pretty clean, like normal windowz, without frickin effects... i don't flash every month because is very quick (still is, with a month old build)
Miri ROM, nothing more
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Been thankful for the helpful tips and tricks with my lovely X1 I bought last year's Black Friday event!
Quick question.
How do I get Cookie's Home Tab to work on my Win6.1 platform? I read on that you need Manila or Sense 2.5, any download links for those will help. Search function, yes, but I dont know which one pertaining to 6.1!
Thanks in advance
Maybe I'm wrong but I guess you'll need to flash another ROM incl. Sense... AFAIK Sense is not available as "installable application".
1. hardSPL
2. download new ROM (e.g. Energy ROM, see link in my signature)
3. flash from SD (instructions here)
^Thanks, just got it done yesterday. Installed Valkyrie rom, but it came with outdated 1.8 ver. instead of 2.0 D:
Valkyrie is a bit dead rom meaning that agent is developing only if major updates take place. I was ex-valkyrie-fun. However I believe that he has released a rom with cht2 (at least beta version).
why dont u try energy rom? it has for sure what you need...

I switched from Valkyrie to 826x. 826x had no additional add-ons, just the ROM upgrade, so it was really convenient to switch. Now running CHT + Editor 2.0.0.
Still trying to get use to the low battery fluctuations compared to a Stock ROM, but loving the new interface and programs it can run now!
