Which official English ROM is the best? - Touch 3G ROM Development

Hi all.
I think that title says it all. Because there is no cooked ROM (yet ), I am looking for the latest and greatest WWE ROM.
Is it 1.40.721.2? Or something else? What is your experience?

Yeah, I wanted to know that too.
What is the difference between the 1.40.401.2 (the one I have) and the 1.40.721.2?
And the difference between the English ROMs. Any software difference?

my Stock was 1.40.401.2 ..then I upgraded to 1.40.721.2 and it got "Google Map" built in inside.. the previous one doesn't...
Then I stripped down the Stock ROM, remove the Manila2D, OPERA, Office, JBLEND, ZIP... etc to my liking... and Flash it using the Kitchen...
and I got Vanilla Stock ROM.. (ROM: 128MB Free & RAM: 81MB Free)

Which Rom? :confused:

Hello everyone! I recently purchased an O2 XDA mini S. It was originally a German O2 contract and I want to change it to an english/american non O2 branded system. Which Rom should I update with? I have visted the wizard folder in the FTP, but there are so many different ROMs. I can't tell which ones are good plus meet the english / non-branded criteria.
Thanks for any assistance
(As you surely guessed, I'm not a developer. Please excuse errors in terminology etc. )
****EDIT - Just realized that this should go in Wizard updating. Please move if possible****
At first you must CID-unlock your phone, if you want any ROM with edited OS version.
And than you can flash: Faria`s ROM, Ridsoro`s ROM or mine and Jimm98y`s superrom, and others.
Look at the forum and choose that, what is best in your opinion
Make sure you do your reading before you do anything else. You can really **** up your phone if you dont know what your doing.
the WWE stands for world wide english.. i guess this is what ur looking for
There are thousands of posts on the same.
Maybe I can make the question simpler
What is the Best and Most Stable ROM available at the moment?
Is there a thread whcih contrasts all hese different ROMS?
I think that's a great question... in fact, the answer should almost be stickied:
"What is the best and most stable ROM for a non-advanced user?"
Gotta run; somebody should set up a poll. As of right now, and my knowledge is definitely limited, I'd vote for Molski 2.26 Final.
Which Rom to use
You're going to get as many answers as posts on this one. I think xelencin's is the best for newbies:

a poll on this would be cool.

Just a little light - Rom choices

I'm sure this was posted many times before - I'm ready to wipe my wing.. i know i know, RTFM - I'm an engineer ... I'm looking for a shortcut to the most appropriate ROM for my wing needs.. Please advise, many friggen posts to choose from... Need standard apps, exchange email a must - also need office apps.. any suggestions ? So sick of running outta mem!!!! any suggestions are appreciated.... can I keep outlook with any custom Roms?
"so give me, just a little light" band/song????...
-Oldie
my guess is: any rom will do, just pick one of the newer fully loaded ones, they come packed with office standard (or better) apps and with all roms exchange mail should work. i believe the latest is open touch 6.5 biggy (i use aserg 12, but it is for herald, so you'd need a keyboard fix)
Yes to all your questions. Roms support full functionality of the phone.
I reccommend either ASERG Rom or ITJE Roms.

That bring another question, what is ITJE's newest (most updated) rom? I found a thread that has all his old rom and it said not support anymore.
just use the one with the highest build number; they are generally the newest.
in this case, this is the one (i think)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407646
ITJE bought himself a Kaiser .. so he's been a little busy in that forum .. as well as having a "real life" ...
Aserg disappeared too ... but his v12 rom is fast, stable and bull**** free... and I've been using it for over a very long time now.

I know. Had been using his rom for awhile. No doubt one of the best, but I always want to try the newest and most updated roms Is there a way we can kind of recook Aserg's rom, just do the updates maybe?
itje has a polaris, too.
ttran has a...... 8525?

If you your unsure about flashing a new rom I found when I first got my wing that changing the page pool size and getting battery status helped a lot. Its very easy to do and you still have the standard Tmo rom. If you want to flash a rom I would go with ttran's OT 5 original. Its basically the stock rom but made a lot better. Hope this helps.

serial number to be use if your is not a oversea
ht963ll00702
Trying it now
I am flashing it right now; thanks for the info
Sweet!!! Thanks.
Any screenshots?

Also, would this Asian ROM also be WWE? I don't know how HTC does it - only one language or a couple, etc.
J
Feedback!
If someone has flashed the ROM, can you please post specs of whats inside. What version of HTC Sense, messaging, what installed apps in ROM, etc..
Thanks alot, Kevin
So Slow..
i am downloading the new sea ROM at the moment and will flash it soon when it ends, but the server there is SOOOO slow, it downloads on 19k speed....
so i will also upload it to rapidshare for anyone to use, and DL faster.
i have an issue with this official 1.86.707.4 ROM. everytime i restart my phone, i have to touch the screen to get TouchFlo Home screen to shows up. Beside, there's nothing special about official ROMs except so many useless things in there. i'm flashing back to a Custom_RUU from our chefs here.
Dumping the rom now... it's just a official rom from HTC.. probably should be included in the official sticky thread instead of having it's own thread.. were does pdaviet tie in?
Edit: Rom is official build 21854 from HTC.. it is WWE.
Rapidshare
so as promissed those are the links for this ROM on rapidshare:

http://rapidshare.com/files/3033793...adio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.part2.rar
in case you wanna check it out for yourself, after what being said here
i know i am going to..
screenshots
the wanted screenshots of the new ROM.
Personally i am not impressed by it. manilla is 2.1 and except the fact it has all screens in landscape as well i prefer (and soon flashing back to) the costum ROM's been published here..

any rom is suitable ? plx take a look

any rom is recommended to flash the X1 (with WM 6.5 and Sense)
, fast and stability??
thats my first time trying flash, i can accept in english rom,
but must be able to view and type chinese,
well i from HK
(As you know ,it is important to sms with my girlfriend)
furthermore,any rom and retain the panel function? is it possible??
thanks for helping
i think the energy rom will do the trick and the experilo once it's fixed Experilo looks sweeeeet but energy is more stable i think about the language no idea im dutch so doesn't realy matther for me hehe
instead of making a new thread in the rom DEVELOPMENT thread you could've just read around for roms with chinese support.
but i'm sure there is a rom with that
maybe this one, i'm not sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624506

Downgrade To W.M 6.1

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.
