Hello, my name is Ammi and I'm a flashoholic
I flashed my phone three times this week and I couldn't stop myself.
Just stood there and saw my phone get flashed time and time again.
Even found a handy little script which made the flashing so much easier
It made me flash without guilt;
"No harm done" I would say
"Just takes a few minutes" I would knowingly lie to myself,
fully aware that I would stay awake that night tweaking and customizing
I always think the next flash will be my last,
will this finally quench my thirst for a smooth flowing, fast pacing, beautiful looking customizable ROM?
"NO"
Just doesn't feel right..
I want to help others that suffer from the same condition as me.
Let us join forces and let our stories be heared!
I'll start by attaching the file that saved me precious time.
Just put all your cabs you normally install after a flash in the MyCab folder
and start the script.
It utilizes Mortscript to install your cabs silently.
You put the cabs that need prompts in the folder Cab.
The cabs that don't need prompts are put in MyCab.
It will not launch after every soft reset
It will, however, launch after reentering your SDcard.
And by launch, I mean a pop-up asking to begin or not.
I highly recommend it!
It installs everything silently and smoothly
As I got in my signature... I've changed too many times LOOL... just like you I'm not completely satisfied so I change it again and again... waiting for the best... That's just in one of my phones, the other one is stable with Generic R2A... happy, but with this i'm experimenting greatness
thanks i'll have to try it next time I flash
Since you flashed so much, what's the best WM 6.5 rom around currently?

Hello my name is Sedale, and i'm also a flashoholic....
i've switched flashes on my phone a little over 11 times thus far for this week(including the twice i did today) and i think "Valkyrie V1 finale" by agent 47 is the best and fastest rom out thus far!
Hello, my name is gtrab and next week I will cook a new custom ROM that will be SO damn good that I am sure you all will be hooked again into addiction
BTW, here's a Flashaholism workaround: get a second Xperia
Save the other one for everyday use
Hope this helps ya all

nooooooooooooo i'm tryin to kick the habit lol
so whats the threshold to join the club. im averaging about 1 flash every 8 days but that may change with the increased number of good cookers in this forum
Neither do I could stop. Nearly 3 times per day in average.
The problem is, after every flash I will try to change the settings manually and get everything works fine, before I found another rom that makes me wanna give a try. Therefore all works and times has been wasted. God. It's been nearly a month that I won't go to bed till 3 am or something.
Think another solution will be fill some extra strong glue into the mini-usb port, dry it by a hair dryer. All problem fixed.

Hello, I'm a flashaholic. i have 9 ROMs saved to my card and regularly chop and change. I almost got fixed on gtrabs WM6.5 ROM but then i found some SPB3 tweaks that i HAD to try so loaded jacks lite ROM and then i saw a TF2D skin that rocked so had to swap. Then i had to load the base R2A ROM to load a WM6 app and then i tried Valkyries ROM and then...
I love my X1...

Asking which is the best ROM is kind of like asking which is the best flavor of ice cream. Not sure abot yout HTC Home question. I believe HTC Home is a plug-in featured on the HTC Tytn II. I do not use it because I use SPB Pocket Plus.
My preference on ROMS is clean and simple with speed and stability. I have tried roms from almost everybody, and have found Quentins 1.2 the best for what I am looking for. Just my opinion. I will tell you what everybody else tells you. flash...flash...and reflash and see which one suits your needs best.
ty.. what is the big deal with duttythroy or w.e it is and v3 i dont understand all the cabs and stuff .what does it all mean also what are radios.
lol. You are truly a newb. Don't worry I was there at one time. 2 days later after reading my arse off I flashed my first ROM. Since then I've done 5 tilts. I flashed Schaps 4.31. I'll break it down for you
Chef is the person who make the ROM.
Look through the thread you'll see different ROMs and screenshots.
You have full ROMs-ROMs with added goodies like programs and tweaks
Light ROMs-These ROMs are made to free up device memory
Ultralight ROMs-Everything is stripped. Like stripping a car and you starting all over again to put it back together the way you would like.
Radios enable you to hear sound, make receive phone calls etc.
What sometimes happens is that you flash a ROM to your phone and you get no sound. Reason: Radio is not compatible for the ROM you just installed on your phone. Answer: Flash a compatible ROM.
Hope this breaks the ice.

Thank you very much. My first "flash" i guess u could say was flashing the HTC Home Today Screen and got rid of the at&t bloatware other than that i have not gone farther than that besides little .cabs here and there. So a rom such as duttys dual touch v4 is a "FULL" rom ...
There is so much info out there that is almost daunting - I know, I've been there too! An excellent place to start is bmueller77's brilliant FAQ on ROMs and flashing - should help you hit the ground running!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
ive seen a lot of custom ROMS flying around and i just want to know base from your experience what has been the best that you guys have used.
i wish i can flash my x1 and use every ROM here but i think that might be a bit too much
anyway feel free to share your thoughts.
well...i like the original best...beacuse i don't like manila at all,that is the way of diamond,but anyway,thanks everyone working on the x1 rom
I'm loving Touch-it v7, with fantastic version of Touch Flow 3d (with facebook integration).
I have not tried many other roms, so can't comment on how it compares, but the Touch-it series has definitely got my recommendation!
Everyone has different preferences though, so it's probably worth you looking at various ROM threads to see what fits best with you, then try them out.
I have found the new Topaz/Rhodium ROM's to be very buggy at the moment and have decided to avoid using them until the various issues are resolved.
At the moment I am using WildChild's ROM which is really fast and fairly bug-free. It's pretty much the stock ROM which has been fine-tuned with a few HTC utilities added for convenience.
As it stands we're pretty much spoiled for choice which is no bad thing.
I really like the 6.5 Roms here. Personally I do like my Rom best but that only because it has included the files that I want
I think every 6.5 Rom here around is worth to try. In my Opinion 6.5 is ready for all-day-use, due to its only a beta
they need to sort out the lock application. its pretty bad. just try playing a song then lock the phone. stutters quite a bit. same when the alarm goes off, stuttering. needs some refinement.
hm dont lock when youre listening to music?! You can online deactivate Screen so the device will only reactivate when u press this little button. I doubt that you can press it by accident in your pocket.
I'm stilll at Itje's 5.061 with all the fixes applied.
In my X1 it's stable and fast, and as everything works as intended I find no need to update to the newer v7 or another custom rom.
The newly released 6.5-501 roms are tempting me, but I'll think I'll wait till may as it's when 6.5 just gets released (althrough I think were gonna see something much similar to this latest build)

This thread is about what the best ROM is. Already we're seeing workarounds for WM6.5... Though I'm sure it may become the best option in the future, you surely can't be promoting a beta ROM as the best option for the XPeria?
For me, I am using Norti ROM with Radio ROM 1.11.25.76. It is very stable and fast. Anyway, I love to try a new thing. The ROM I would like to try next is going to be Touch-IT WM6.5 .
Questions for the best/worst/blablabla ROM are FORBIDDEN here!
I've tried a lot of different roms, and I found "timurs rom wm 6.5 manila lancapture" to be the best. I has WM6.5 with TF3D.... plus little to no bugs. You cain't go wrong with that.

Aye, that is the only downside ive found. 6.5 is otherwise very usable on a daily basis. so for me it is the best option.. using touch it Official 6.5, its great

yeah the top button works fine, but i meant the inbuilt windows lock function. if its there it should work
i know what you meant ^^ and yes you're right. But i think such a thing is not very necessary
apologies if this kind of topic is forbidden. i didnt know. anyway thanks for the input. ive settled with Touch-it 7 and i have to say its awesome. spent a few hours downloading the fixes and what have you but after it it was all good. have just been using it for 2 days so i still cant say for sure. but so far so good. i recomend it.
Ok tbh im sick of the x1...i got it changed 1 time already becouse of a crack in a case...got the new x1 with the new case model...so i guess i wont get the crack again.My question is How to manipulate damage to get the phone 2/3 times changed and after that to chose a new phone or money back...i still have waranty 1year...suggest good ideas not the stupid ones...
cheers

Hey, Orelsi is right.
I'm not sick about my X1. Actually you are complaining about the OS, Windows Mobile (the one you call "system"), so I do not see the point of intentionally damage your X1.
Yes, I am sick about X1 cracks, but if only I would have a no-crack X1 it would be my perfect device.
P.S.: btl, I have no lags and crashes (see my signature if you are looking for a fast & stable ROM). Are you with standard ROM? No, I suppose you are not. So, please put the original one back if you want a stable ROM, otherwise this is a developer forum, with instable stuff, so please accept its pros and cons.

I already have that. Maybe instead of spending your time trying to thinkk of ways to cheat someone, you should read some info/topics/etc. about your device.
I can't see how a software issue would be fixed by damaging your hardware anyway lol.

Actual WM 6.5 ROM are stable for daily use... at least for my standard daily use.
If you want something like "WOOOOW", try WM6.1 with Manila2, or NRG ROM WM6.5 with Manila 2.5 (didn't noticed any big bug) or WM6.1 with FEWidgetLite (it simulates Omnia widgets, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4275422), or SPB 3.0 (you can try it before buying) or PointUI and its endless number of widgets.
I think it is enough work for you for one month!
Obviously, if you think that just the iPhone deserved your "WOOOOOW"... then, why did'nt you bought an iPhone?!
I have tried many of the custom ROMs, but still prefer the generic ROMs, R3A with tweaks is perfect for me.
Remember that WinMo will never be super fluid or full of useless eye-candy (at least until WinMo 7 lol).
i cant believe such thread exists lol
im on the rom SEUS gave me and i love it, no lags, no bugs, no tweaks except for landscape cleartype and invisible lines on today screen...i hope you do know that 3rd party apps can cause probs

Not to be a wise-ass, but if they are invisible how do you see them?
Anyway Elijus is suffering from a common problem. A user blaming his product inappropriately. Orelsi is happy with stock ROM, I got a custom ROM I like. If he flashed ROMs he didn't like its his own damn fault. Read the first post on any ROM thread.
Most importantly I don't think Elijus' conduct is appropriate. If you read the tone of his statements and the way he is blaming cooks for not making a perfect ROM that HE wants it is clear to me that he is displaying poor taste. I think he should remember that these cooks are doing all of us a favor and if he wants a stable phone, get a stable ROM. If he wants the latest he can try a newer 6.5 ROM, but don't be surprised when it is buggy.
To Elijus: Most importantly don't hate on those who provide a free service/product for you to use. Just because you are too petty and self-centered to say "Thank You," you just hate.
just send it in they will fix it ... after the 2nd try and its not done to your liking request a new device.
thats how i got my new x1 about 2 weeks ago.

As i told in my last post im not against anyone or anything and im not hating the cooks.Ofc i would thank them if i would get a rom that i could stay on...As u see everyone makes everything,everything is cool BUT still mostly not usable...maby the 6.5 from itje will come out good.tho i would like the clean rom not the f***** with widgets and stuff...ill put what i need by my self...about iphone-the phone is not the best and as u know in US the production costs only 178$ its i think way cheaper then x1 and i suppose the phone isint stronger then x1 but they DO have a OS that runs so nice and so good...ofc the os is not customiseable like our winmo...and thats where is the problem of a iphone and i think it gets fast booring.
Cheers
so waht exactly is your problem here? you don't like the x1, you don't like the iphone...
if you want a stable rom, with touchflo, go for one of the energy roms. also the speediness of your phone depends on the third party softwares that u've installed...Can we please have a list of software installed?

Maybe you should do some googling/youtube of the phone you're looking at first before you get your phone.. and then go to the store and try it. They'll always let you try phones.. unless you're too shy to ask
Not many good customizable phones atm, mainly just the HTCs/iPhone.. what exactly are you looking for anyway?

I've stayed away from anything Manilla for months now. I was tired of a sluggish interface. However I was thinking about giving it another shot to see what our fantastic chefs were able to do it it. So in everyone's opinion what is currently the FASTEST 2.5 rom out there that uses the WM 6.5.5. Any input would be much appreciated.
Oh and another thing I was curious about. Another reason I stopped using it was because it didn't really cooperate well with Iconsoft Phonex. Does anyone know if they clash still? (One example of a problem i had was HTC favorite contacts wouldn't go through to place a call when clicking a contact)
thanks
opinion here
read, try and find out 4 yourself
best
I am asking for speed, that is something measurable. I remember people would ask these all the time and quite often there was a general consensus like "Try Touch X Final. Its super fast!" or "Oh man! spikegotti's UnOff series is the best!"
So i was just wondering if there was a specific ROM that most people had more success with than others. If you don't have an answer or are annoyed by the thread I am sorry, but no one is forcing you to post an answer. I was just looking for anyone that had legitimate input. I'd prefer not to completely waste two days flashing every single ROM only to find out that i still dont really like manilla
Well, then do some research on your own. You know, users talk about how they felt the speed is like in threads of different roms. Have a look what rom appeals to you and then read some comments...would not be bad, would it?
I agree with other people, but I would also advice to start your searching from Valkyrie TR 6.0.28232
Try Valkyrie's rom. In my opinion it's fast,stable and you have all needed applications preinstalled
To help your case:
click the link in my signature. There are pretty good, fast, stable and bug-less roms on that blog. Also you could try blaze or valkyries like it has been mentioned already.
So except Valkryie is there another ROM that has Sense 2.5 and stable...Thanx a TON!!
I've just installed this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=637679
and its quite good so far.
Touch-IT BR 21893
I've flashed this one awhile ago and its working perfectly for me. So fast and stable but i disabled HTC messaging, u can search for the cab here in the forum... Cheers!
Go for Rotastrain's Blaze!
It's fast and stable, and any bugs are usually dealt with immediately.

Does the battery drain, also do u have the SOD(Phone freezing after sleep mode) and more than that, is it stable??
I genuinely recommend NRG's Energy Leo 23541 build - i've been using it for just over a week and it is simply amazing; with all my own apps added to the plethora of USEFUL apps already installed, it still flies along at top speed.
Note: Best practise is always to flash the ROM, then hard reset (Press the reset button whilst holding down the two front buttons under the screen) - this ensures best speed/stability!
See the ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935
Baring in mind i'm a tight b****rd; i have actually donated for this ROM. That says something!!

Hi,
My battery doesnt drain any faster with this ROM installed I get normal battery life.
Not sure about hte SOD issue you speak about.. if you mean does the phone freeze after I've unlocked the screen lock then no I generally havent experianced any freezeing on the phone since installing this ROM so basically I find it very stable.
hi i just got this phone and i love it. i have read a lot about upgrading the rom, but all these seperate roms confuse the heck out of me . Say i just want to upgrade to win 6.5 is the christians clean rom the best one? will i lose features and will i lose all my data and saved stuff if i flash it? sorry fot the noob questions. thanks for looking
there is no such thing as the best rom. u will have to find out by your self flashing all the different roms you are interested in and test them out if they fit your needs. i think christians rom is a good start. its fast and he offers different versions.
all your data (except those on the sd card) will be lost. but there are programs to back them up.
Ok, thanks. Going to try out a few now, just got the phone Hard SPLed or whatever (neardly died of a heart attack when it stuck at the bootloader and the program failed... just ran the program again and it worked phew lol). Thank you

ithik every 1st timer of flashing can relate to that one..
enjoy flashing..
you can back up your contacts/SMS/email, etc. with PIMBackup, SPB backup, or Microsoft MyPhone before you flash so you won't lose your data

I'm in the same boat.
What ROM did you eventually go with? Are you impressed with the result?
I have tried alot of different roms, however I have one clear preference.
IMO the best Windows 6.5 Rom is this one: http://826x.blogspot.com/
I would get the version without HTC Sense.
I am currently running the "ROM 826X Windows Mobile 6.5.5 build 23519" version, and am getting 2-3 days battery life with moderate day to day use.
ANY other 6.5 rom that I have tried has been 1-1.5 days, however these have all been HTC Sense / TF3D roms.
If you do not mind about battery life then the Agent_47 / itje / NRGZ28 roms are all excellent, and offer additional eye candy.
Happy flashing.
i've been getting 2 days battery out of the latest agent roms! thats with sense 2.5 on too!

Just briefly - what is HTC sense & TF3D?
I could probably find this out myself if I google, but I'm being lazy.

I've been looking at Agent_47's Valkyrie Rom just because it has the most page views.

Tried Christian'd clean one and I thought it was ok, currently using the xperia x1.5 one and i like it, but im going to try some of the fancier ones before i settle.
Hey buddy, I was very much like you sometime back(a couple of months, to be precise) but if u want a plain ROM 6.5 just like ur current 6.1...then the best is Spike's Unoff...NOT the 1.5, it again has some goodies...http://pocketnow.com/html/portal/news/0000008936//xasense.jpeg
this is ur HTC Sense UI, 2.5 build...if u want this, then u wont have the basic 6.5 look..because ur home screen wil be like this..hope it helps, if u have any worries, PM me..CHEERS!

^ good advice. It's a nice ROM.
Do you know how to resize pictures for MMS? My 6.1 ROM gave me the option to compress a picture before added it to the message. 826X's ROM Doesn't.
just a suggestion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6114197&postcount=88
I've settled with the Energy ROM, but am now trying the 23554 build to see if it's any better. With my extended life battery, I get upto a week of casual texting, and it's got HTC Sense 2.5 which I would now insist on having on the phone at all times
Thanks for the replies guys

First thing to save battery life in the NRG ROMs is to set the backlight settings. That can save a lot of battery.....

I'm currently using 23545 (non manila). I really like it. I'd like to try the Energy ROM, but I don't like manila. Plus, swapping ROMs every few days gets tiresome.

^ cancel request. Managed to find the menu to decrease picture size for MMS. Blairingly obvious too - MMS option, Photo resolution, VGA.

NRG also offers a Titanium (non-manila) version of his ROMs, look in the Sense 2.1 download folder....
