Hi.
I've just SIM and CID unlocked my HTC Herald P4350 and now I've got the WM6 from the HardSPL method.
I've already seen other OS's like TouchIT and I liked it very much but since there a lot of them I'd like to know which one I should use or how do I choose the best ROM to flash my PDA.
Peace.
That's a thing only you know!
Do you want to use Manila2D? with Opera full? => OpenTouch 7.7 Biggy
Clean ROM? => Just2Clean
very clean ROM, but with some individual Programs like Opera Mini => JustME
Do you want an Opal Clone? => Try Gullums one
Do you want a clean ROM where you can install Manila on top => Open Touch 7.7 lite
you see, there are a lot of things to think about!
Give us some information what you use your Herlad for and we can help you better I think!

So, I'm 21 years old and what I'm looking in a PDA is that it works like a media center, a workstation and a GPS.
I may need to use to load some PowerPoint presentations. But more importantly I want all of this but with the most atractive look and lots of gadgets and informations on the "today" screen. i also want to play some games, see movies, listen to music, etc.

you could also look at the OPT that ttran made with the omnia theme... no power point but you can download mobile office anyhoo.
- Good luck mate
Well if you want to have something to play around with, you should perhaps use OpenTouch 7.7 biggy!
Manila 2D
Opera Full
Youtube
etc.
You only would have to install office (perhaps on storage card?!)

How about TouchIt WM6.1 Full?
And can you please link me those ROM's mentioned?
Open Touch 7.x ROMs
I only suggested ROMs I tested! I never used a touchIT, but if you like it, try it!
ruebyi
I can't find any of the download links in either of the ROM's... Neither TouchIT or Oper Touch.
http://www.evolvers.net/Herald_Roms/Version%207.7/
What about the TouchIT last version for the P4350? Can't find it either :x.
I'm still a bit confused by the amount of ROM's that exist and a question is still on my mind, does the ROM's for the Wing work on my normal HTC P4350? Because I've read somewhere that the Wing was the name given to the T-Mobile version and that it uses different ROM's.
Can anyone help me with this?
Hi everybody. I have a X1i that I have been using for 4 months or so. I really hated the stock rom. I lurked around this forum for a little while after reading about it somewhere (forgot where). Saw all these glorious roms that I was afraid to try cause I had no idea was HARD SPL was, until this morning when I flashed the TOUCH-IT 4.0 Landscape rom. I have a few questions if you guys can help me
Im fairly new here so I hope you can forgive my question if its been asked before. I searched back a dozen or so pages and couldnt find a similar thread.
Which ROM is most user friendly and stable so far? The nX1i Lightspeed or Touch-IT Landscape 4.0 or the Generic RA10 UK rom?
Currently I am using the Touch-IT Landscape by ITJE and i love it. Much better than the original rom my xperia was shipped with. Video is noticeably better.
However, if i do not need touch-flo, should I use the generic RA10 rom or nX1i rom instead?
Also, for youtube, i kept reading that I need to install the youtube.cab from blackstone. Where can I get this cab? I've tried installing previous youtube.cab but I guess they were the wrong version cause youtube doesnt work and the panel does not show up.
previously I tried cabs located

You can find the correct youtube.cab and the panel for it in my collection topic (in my signature), it should work fine on WWE roms installing the cab first and the panel after.
If im already using TOUCH-IT v4.0 Landscape, do I still need the WVGAFix?

WVGAFix is for such applications that cannot run in WVGA only in QVGA,VGA or other. You can change the screen's resolution on the X1 with this, so you might need this for some apps.
despite to itje's great work, new tflo3d isn't 100% stable and some crash happens. If you need a full and stable rom stay with itje' 3.5 or something else but don't choose a rom with new manila landscape, we have to wait a bit more before using it every day
Also, generic rom sucks, now we have many great rom from our cookers, choose one of them and be happy
Unfortunately, which is best is very hard to answer because everyone has different requirements and perceptions of what is good.
I have tried Jack's roms, itje's roms and now the nx1 rom.
For me the most important thing is my perception of responsiveness. I also want to have a highly customizable device and therefore tf3d is not ideal. Given this, the nx1 rom seems to be the best for me. All the roms seemed reasonably stable but I am still playing around with it so much that it is difficult to know whether any problems are caused by the software I am loading or the rom.
The best thing to do would be to read the comments people are leaving regarding the different roms and then if you like the sound of it, give one a go. Unfortunately this is a time consuming process.
d0z3y, can You paste here link to nx1 rom or itje ?
And question from me:
Is there available rom, that it is stable, very fast (graphic too) and have generic panels or it's nice to be a SPB panel or Manila HD panel ?
Please help me, bacause i've found difficulty with understanding every information about roms in topics. I dont speak english very well.
Can You answer me with simple english ?
TIA
You should just look in the route forum of this thread and you can find them all there, and many more.......

Here you will find all available Roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801 including links to nx1 rom or itje.
I can personally advice you to try all different roms. In 1 day you can flash about 4-5 Roms, play with them and understand which one is your best. This is the only way to really understand what you need.
However, up to me:
- jack v2.1 is the best "naked" Rom to start from. It has almost nothing, so you can fully customize it.
- Jack v2.3 has tf3d, so you get smooth graphic but it sometimes freeze.
- nx1 is like jackv2.1 but with some apps in, panels preloaded and stable/fast.
So, as you can see, and as everyone told you, you have to try them to find the most suitable. It's like a pair of shoes: you ahv eto try them to tell which one fits you.
[email protected] - thank You a lot ! Now i undestand it.
Can You tell me- is there a huge difference between new standard soft (R2A) and these roms like nx1 etc.? With stable, fast, and freeze/do not freeze?

My 2 cents:
Standard (Stock) ROM R2A is stable and acceptable.
Jack v2.1 is optimezed to be fast & stable but you have no programs.
Jack v2.3 & nx1 are stable in 90% of cases and faster than sotck ROM, with a nice fluid interface.
Those are my "pair of shoes". I use them, because I want a stable, fast, fully customizable ROM.
Now just ask yourself: what am I looking for? do I want to search and install programs on my own, or just find them inside a ROM? I want a cool interface? I want to try the coolest, latest ROM out here (most probably unstable) or go for a stable ROM?
Answer yourself, and then go into ervey ROM post (you can do it, you'll just have to visit 10 post...), read the first three post with the description of the ROM and choose the one that best fit your answers.
That's all I can do, I can not tell you install this or that.

My xperia come to me in Friday, here- in Poland i pay for it a lot of many... Now i had a HTC Kaiser and it's OK to me (with HyperDragon soft)
I prefer programs include a ROM, because I dont know where to find all of theme in Web (maybe can You help me? MP3 trimmer, new core player etc etc).
And the last question. In standard rom (R2A) and tweaks from here:

Will i have this problem?:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4_oONTZ3S0
I'll be pleasure to have a fast animation without "frame by frame" efect, fast and smoothly...
It is possible in standard rom with/without these tweaks or I must to change ROM (for ex. Jack v2.3) ?
P.S. When I find a rom with [SWE] its mean that this rom are with only Swedish language, not English?

Wow... never ever seen an Xperia that slow. Mine has never been, I am sure that you will never experience that slow frame by frame effect, unless you are running 5 programs simultaneously (man, even a Core Quad extreme would slow down if you load 10 programs at one time!!!)
P.S.: Jack v2.3 doesn't have Panel Manager as default. It has Touch Flow 3D (TF3d). However, you can always install panel manager on your own.

Yes, that's the international code. It represents the ROM language.

Hi again!
This effect appear without running any programs (i've seen other video on youtube, where somebody first had shown that any programs are running, and next gone panels and opened qwerty- the same effect, frame by frame... What is wrong with these xperia? In brand new does it work fine?
Unfortunatly i'm looking for ROM with Panel Manager and deuflat panels. And manila 3d too. So is there any rom like that? (of course in English, because my language will be in about 1month in oryginal SE ROM).
TIA for answer!
imho panels by default are crap slow and unresponsive, it consumes a lot of ram. New upcoming version promises opengl sdk and should be better, will see... For now I get rid of panels as soon as possible every time I flash
Ok......
I bought my X1 in Taiwan, with the intention of flashing to an english rom, because i obviously haven't a clue about chinese, and english langue ones are not available here.
I've been flashing custom roms for a while, both on the X1 and on my old Wallaby and Ef's but havent found anything that ever really suits my needs.
I like the windows 6.5 roms, but WVGAfix doesnt seem to work with any of the builds despite saying it does which kinda makes all 6.5 obsolete for me because of the amount of software that doesnt work with a WVGA screen.
Which leaves 6.1. I have tried loads different 6.1 builds, but find there are certain things that always stop me wanting to keep them.
So my question is can anyone build a rom that is almost a light rom, that just has a few essential elements built in. One that might last me a couple of months, or at least until Mobile 7 is released as opposed to reflashing every few days. I have looked into cooking, but simply dont have the time with work to really get good at it. It drives me nuts having to reinstall everything and sync contacts every time i flash a new rom.
If i was going to build my own ROM i would be looking for a lite and fast 6.1 build that has to me what i would consider some essential apps cooked in.
Manilla
USB popup
Advanced config
Radio
Audio Booster
Htorch
All the finger friendly features
Xperia R3A Camera to replace the HTC camera within manilla.
MSN Push mail (not messanger)
Specifically i would really like to avoid all the things that are updated regularly, such opera, youtube, facebook, google maps etc, and all the things which would seem to me to be a waste of space / speed, such as
MP3 trimmer, panel manager and additional panels.
Basically a stripped lite Rom, with manilla and its associated features.
I have tried flashing lite roms, and installing manilla, but its a real hastle, and never gets as good a results as some of the outstanding chefs here. I can't be alone in wanting a rom like this? so i guess my last question is....is anyone up for the task or am i about to get flamed for something i should be doing myself?

Oddly enough i have just tried Jacks 3.6 medium rom and its very fast.....i like it......keep testing for a few days and see how it goes, but looks real good so far!!
Jack - You're right in that i suppose with manilla in it isnt a light rom, but i would define anything that goes into a light rom as something that is necessary for the operation of the phone. As windows mobile 6.1 is BUTT ugly and finger unfriendly, i would classify manilla or equivalent as something that is pretty necessary!

I tend to think otherwise, you're right with wm6.1 being finger unfriendly. And there is lots of stuff (ie manila, spb mobile shell, eg) that can help you with that. And the choice is rather personal, something you would add later into a lite rom according to your needs.
(little remark, I'm not a manila fan so maybe a bit judged)
I love the hardware of my X1 but I hate the User Interface. I need an User interface with bigger fonts, a sexy look, highspeed reactions and with short ways to the functions.
I´m not sure but I think the first step should be a ROM with WM 6.5. But I´m absolute unsure which ROM. There are so many ROM´s in the ROM development area.
I would like to get some recommendations for the best fitting ROM. I need only the phone function, contacts, calender, mp3 player and the mobipocket reader.

There are so many ROMs here that will probably suites your taste but you will have to check which one will really fit your needs. For starter, before you flash any ROMs, you need to read this thread 1st http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218 and or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445662. Then you're ready to flash your 1st ROM. I suggest you try the ROMs cooked by Agent_47, NRGZ, jackleung, smaberg and itje. You will see the big difference once you start flashing new ROMs. Have fun!
I would recommend gtrab's xpert or pure roms if you want only the 6.5 interface. If you want a smooth running touchflo interface with 6.5, then i would recommend the energy roms from NRGZ28. The rom usage rarely crosses 50%, and this is the only touchflo rom with which my coreplayer videos play without stuttering.
Searching appears to have failed me, but I'm looking for a up to date, optimized (recent drivers etc), Manila/Sense LACKING 6.1 ROM for the Xperia.
Could anyone provide some guidance with that? I can't really find any
EDIT: To clarify, thats a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM without manila or sense UI
Maybe you should look at the forum? Searching specific terms won't give any good results back.. These roms basically plague the forum, i dont know how you could not find ANY

I am on an own-cooked ROM which I can upload for you, or anybody else.
WM6.1 build 21051, no manila, no panels, some little apps that are useful for me and some selected HTC staff like enlarge start menu, volume control, FM-radio etc
I am using it for the last 2 months and it's very fast and stable. Perfect for SPB MS users.
I cannot provide any support though. No much time. Normally you won't need any.
