Custom ROms are ROMs tweaked and or, you might call it enhanced, by developers outside of the OEM. If you are alooking for a custom WM 6.5 ROM, you can try reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050 (Download Xperio v2.3.2) But before you flash this ROM, or any other custom ROM for that matter, try reading the following thread first for you to be able to know how to flash custom ROMs (that is, in case you still don't know how)

rom advice..

I am using Pdaviet for a few months and i like it actually.
As far as i read on the forums there's a pdaviet 6.1 version but the original site is in vietnamese and i couldnt find any download link,
moreover there are different roms that are easy to find around but i didint try yet like touch-it etc..
I have some questions..
Does it worth to update to 6.1 version?
If the answer is yes, anybody has link for pdaviet for herald 6.1 or do u advice other roms..
And if other roms are better, do i have to load original firmware before replacing the roms?
Yes it is worth it.
What phone do you have? You should be able to install the Rom using HardSPL or USPL without having to reload the OEM software... but that depends on what phone you have and the IPL/SPL on it.
I have hera110 aka wing..
So i better try it at weekend
Check out Aserg's rom or ITJE's roms. They are both amazing cooks. I've used both of their Roms extensively and have found them to be the best in my opinion.

Or you could just go to the phone manufacturers website and download the applicable file there and follow their (comprehensive) instructions. If you want to keep things all official, it's actually a very straightforward process. You only need to bother with hardSPL etc if you want to flash a custom ROM. A very important question you should ask yourself is why do I want WM 6.1. If you're thinking it's newer so it must be more reliable/better/faster etc etc check out the threads in Kaiser General relating to all the problems after upgrading - at least with regards to most of the official HTC ROM offerings (certainly the current UK one is included). I tried WM 6.1 for a while and had such significant problems, I had it reverted back to 6.0.
MMMMMM
To me WM 6.1 appearance is more sexier than the WM 6.0. Thats why am looking to upgrade my device in to WM 6.1
Flying Kiwi has a point about doing it officially - I'd forgotten that there was an official 6.1 rom. That said, for me custom roms are much more fun!
I've had both 6.0 and 6.1 on my phones and to be honest, I can't tell the difference.

What are you doing with your phone ......
Having tried both, there's very little difference between the two as far as the TyTN II native ROMs are concerned. It's only the customised ROMs that offer a flashier flash (but you can also get alot of that stuff through installing cabs - full details in the wiki and by searching/reading up on the xda-dev website).

rom update related question

hi..i dont know anything about rom upgrading so my question might b a noob one..my question is that can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my diamond?..currently i have WM6.1 installed on my phone.If the answer is no can someone pl tell me how can i install WM6.5 on my phone?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
guide how one flash roms
unless otherwise stated all roms are flashed the same way
hey thanks for ur help..i understood the procedure for upgrading the ROM,but it stil doesnt answer my question.Can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my WM6.1 diamond?
Yes you can.
Flashing a 6.5 rom is just like flashing a 6.1 rom. All you have to do is find the rom that best suits your needs (easier said than done). I've flashed my phone many many times (warning, it becomes addictive).
As a matter of fact I assume that most diamond owners on this forum are already running winmo 6.5.
Check out the rom section of this forum.
hey thanks a lot..thats what i wanted to know.ya m already getting addicted choosing a good ROM)

light, stable. fast 6.5 rom ?

Hi guys,
I know there are a lot of 6.5 roms here, but nut sure what to choose .
I've just tried a "LEo" 6.5 version which seems to me slow for my Blackstone.
Anyone can recommend some light/stable 6.5 roms I could try ?

Dont know any light roms. kwbr has a ROM that has a base of the stock ROM from rhodium. It seems to be quite stable. Otherwise i cant help you further. Just try out some and stick to the one you like the most
Another thing. Asking about a ROM is not quite popular around here. Recomending a specific ROM is wrong to other chefs. I hope you understand
As stated above to recommend a rom is generally frowned upon as it creates endless long threads due to each indivdual having a different opinion. As such threads like these are generally closed by admin or mod's
Rick
p.s. Best advice would be to try a few, possibly have a read through first few posts of each rom thread and check this benchmark thread

No Stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM

Hello people! I wish to install a Windows Mobile 6.5 rom on my HD. But have failed to find any stock ROM for the HD. i want to install only stock. Has there never been a release of WM 6.5 by HTC for the HD? Will there ever be?
Im sorry if Im repeating a pre existent thread but trust me I did use the search feature and didnt find a thread talking about this particular issue.
Experts please help. THANKS heavily in advance.

There's no Stock WM6.5 for Touch HD. WM6.5 ROM in this xda is non official ROM. if you want stock ROM, please install WM6.1 for HD. it is official released by HTC
That is sad. But then if I have to install a custom 6.5 rom, wont that make my device unstable? Would it make it slower than now? Custom roms arent stable enough is what I know.

it's not a stability problem!
even WM 6.1 custom non official ROMs are stabler and speeder than WM 6.5 ones...
it's a kernel problem!!
The one used in WM 6.5 custom ROMs is unofficial...and not made by HTC...and that's what made WM 6.5 a little bit slower than WM 6.1...
but (expecially COM2 builds) are stable as well as WM 6.1...just slower (not dued to cooker inexperience but) because HTC didn't develop a 6.5 kernel for our blackstone...
Thanks Kenia for this wonderful rom uv made. I am going through your forum pages currently reading about your rom. It really is awesome work!
By the way, is there a way to install titanium screen and WM 6.5 lock screen on top of stock 6.1 rom?
nope, for titanium and the new lockscreen you will have to install WM 6.5.
There might be some WM 6.5 lockscreen look-a-likes for WM 6.1, but as far as i know it's not possible to have titanium on wm 6.1. Technically it is possible, but a lot of things would have to be modded (which is a looooooot of work) in order to get it to work on WM 6.1

Titanium requires some stuff from system core of WM 6.5...just like the honeycomb start menu...
so it's impossible to port it...
as regards the lockscreen you can have it through the marvelous Co0kie's Home Tab which ebodies this feature...
and you can choose between WM 6.5, HD Mini and iphone-like lockscreen...
Anyway thanks to all for the compliments..

I got the perfect thing for you
You should try Miniterrors Ravage ROM it's in dutch or in WWE.
It is the fastest STOCK 6.5 rom out here on XDA.
You should download the WWE Clean without (or with) HTC Messaging.
It's fast, low battery drainage and it is stock!
Hope it helps!

please flash first n let us know the feedback. you cannot ask anybody to act on behalf of you. different person, different opinion. try Cloudy 1.9 with or without HTC Messaging... it works perfect for me.
I never presumed anyone to act on my behalf. Because I am only asking for opinions from experts who have run it before on their Blackstones. I have never flashed a custom rom hence probably just a little apprehensive.

There are a lots of roms here, the best way to find what you want its to try, use another phone and take a week to try the diferent roms around here.
If we all like the same, we didn't have a lot of roms around here, see what roms have good feedback, see if you like the style or the coocked app in it and flash.
A stable coocked rom its allways better then stock.
