i have become a proud hd user as of yesterday and have spent all the night to reading various wikis, tips etc.
please forgive me if i am asking you for your opinion as to your experience with your 6.5 roms. certainly, i could read another 300 pages of different 6.5 rom threads but can't keep my eyes open.
this questions goes to those who have already flashed two or three different 6.5 roms.
which of those would you recommend in terms of speed and stability?
thanks a lot for your help.
I'm also after some similar info. I'm got Duttys v3.0 flashed at the moment
and it's working great but feel really tempted to try out Win Mo 6.5
Miri's version seems to be the most popular at the moment but I also want to
know how reliable and stable these 6.5 ROM's are compared to something like
Dutty's 3.0 ROM
personally i love duttys V3, i tried miri's 6.5 and didn't like it that much... so i'll probably wait until dutty releases his first 6.5 rom which i hope he will be working on soon
I´m working with different wm 6.5 roms for a few months now and I think at the moment the miri v8.1 (with SLP1.54) is the best especially with the new spb mobile shell 3!

What I want to know is, how buggy are these 6.5 ROM's?
Is Miri's 6.5 stable enought to use on a daily basis?
If u have SPL 1.54 then the best is Miri's at the moment but if u have 1.14 then try david's as well.... Not bad in my opinion. and yes u can use them on daily basis but Miri's ROM has got some issues with the alarm. Also I dont like the fact that Miri doesn't put even a single ringtone. I'd like some nice ringtones to choose from rather than trimming mp3s.

As a regular flasher IMHO WM 6.5 is still not completly bug free and fast enough for everyday use especially the context menu still not fast enough for my liking even on the latest builds also I think manila tf3d is still not fully compatible with wm 6.5 so has an overall performance impact on wm 6.5 without it wm 6.5 runs a lot better! I would personaly wait for HTC to release a shipped wm 6.5 device i.e. touch pro 2 aka rhodium then have the chef's base rom off that then we'r talking business!
However if you want try then you can't go wrong with miri wm 6.5 roms, davidueck v7 or karmba's!

Thanks for your input guys. I think I'm going to lay off WinMo 6.5 then as I want my device to be as fast and stable as possible for everyday use.
Will stick to Dutty's v3.0 until he releases an update or realses his version of
WinMo 6.5
Surprisingly there is no mention of onkologs wm6.5
THis is the most stable and fastest...
Not a single person using his rom has issues...
The only downside is that you have to install applications that you need as a cab

Ooops! I forgot to mention his roms yes onkologs wm6.5 are stable still some minor issues with manila without it his rom's are great!! however in terms of issues it depends on the user for me I have yet to come across wm 6.5 rom thats completely bug free for my everyday use I tend to intsall a lot of apps so yes these 3rd party apps may not be completely compatible with wm 6.5 but I cannot live without them so for now I'll stick wm 6.1 until the next build is released by M$ and give that a go
I've also been thinking of getting the miri 6.5 ROM but had a couple of doubts even after trying to read a lot about how to flash:
1. I'm still on stock ROM SPL 1.14, so am i supposed to install HSPL or USPL or just the miri ROM and how??
2. Read the article- [TUT]Dummies guide for flashing 1.56 roms; but got even more confused (seems i'm dummer than the "Dummies" :-D)
3. Can i get back to my stock ROM ever...? Again how??
4. Does miri 6.5 v8.1 ROM has the TF3D from Diamond2 also??
It would be great help if someone could answer my noob questions. I'm really looking forward to flashing my HD with a 6.5 ROM.
Hi,
Don't forget about PhamQuang ROMs. They are qualities and well thought out. Stable and fast too.
Try out the last one ver. 24
Enjoy

Totaly OK with that, the onkologs wm6.5 is the also the best for me!
A++
Having tried both Miri's latest 6.5 andd Dutty's 3.0 I have to say that I find Miri's rom both faster and more stable.
The topaz/rhodium ROMs seem far more buggy to me than the manila-less versions of the 6.5 ROMs using the latest builds. Not to mention that the battery drain using Dutty's ROM is insane compared to Miri's v 8.1 standard.

Hey guys !
About Win 6.5 and SPB Mobile Shell.
Can you explain us a bit what you mean?
Can we keep titanium as running with Mobile Shell? But what is really intersting in this? What does Titanium have than Mobile Shell doesn't? And which customization must we use with titanium to be 100 % happy as you are meaning ?
THank you!
I think onkolog's roms are still the most stable one.
i have tried karmba 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, miri 7.0, 8.0, 8.1
finally using miri 8.1, so far ... ok
Miri's 8.1 rom is really very good after comparing with duty's last rom i understood that miri's rom hardly reached to 43% while duty's and most of the other roms easily reaches beyond 50%
Hello. I want to upgrade my phones ROM because I have and old one from the beginning. My ROM version is 1.19.61.1
So I want to upgrade to new one but I'm confused because there is a very big choice of ROM's here and I do not want to choose poorly
To which ROM you recommend me to update?
Which ROMs are with best performance, least bugs and best features?
First I was very interested in Dutty's V3.7 XT Final but then I also saw that there is lot of wm 6.5 ROMs. Does my phone will have same performance with 6.5 wm version or slower?
Thank You!

I have found I want to experiment lots.
I have experimented with Onkolog, LIA which I had issues with, particularly around customising the phone with themes etc.
Between the big 3, Davideuck, Dutty and Miri, my choice is Miri 6.5 V16.
You may find you want to experiment too.
I personally prefer Manila TF3D over 6.5 Titanium and I don't care at all for SPB Mb Shell 3. I haven't tried PointUI but I am pretty sure I would still prefer Manila.
I suggest you go for it and experiment lots.
You can't go wrong with the big 3.
try ones 6.5 but prefered 6.1
6.5 more stable what they claim
try every ROM the best answer
good luck...
I personally prefer miri's wm6.5 v16 for now.because it's beautiful and stable.
Miri's WM6.5 series ROMs are the best!
I have tried out Dutty, MaryOne, taisee and Miri, and finally stayed on miri's ROMs, among which I have flasehd v9.1, 10, 11,12,13,15,16,16.1.
I have several thousand contacts and Calendar data since 2002 on my phone. Only Miris' ROM works with my data so smoothly and fast.
just a question..
Regardless of which ROM you flash, the flashing method is the same right? I've once flashed using USPL for Dutty ROM. If I were to flash now from Dutty ROM to let's say Miri v6.5 ROM, can I use USPL method again directly?
Thanks.
i feel your thread will be banned...
anyways i am happy to recommend you the Topix 2.1, i used many version of dutty but eventually topix is much more fast and stable. i am still expecting dutty's better wm6.5, i still believe in dutty
test and choose
it depends a lot your usage and your priorities.
for me, the are a lot of great cooker doing stablerom: miri, kwbr, duttythroy, pdaviet,laurentius,...
I've not tested all so I'm not saying that these are the only ones.
As my priority is the speed an fluidity of the phone i help on bench marking rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190
and based on these results damn small topix is the fastest one.
it's also very stable.
As you can see in the bench result, 6.5 roms are slower but usually they use less ram.
again, all this is my priority.
the best is try some then decide.

Where do you see that? I don't think that the newer versions of 6.5 "slower" than 6.1.

If you use often Internet on your phone, i recomend you Laurentius L26 2.3 (WIndows Mobile 6.1): this rom provide the best mobile navigation experience with awesome version of Opera tweaked by Laurentius and with a usefull zoomslider.
Also L26 is stable, clomplete of most rilevant applications, strongly optimized and with a confortable and pretty upper menu with battery icon that show exact state of the battery...this is very useful for me.
i liked onkolog's rom if youre looking for speed + lots of free memory and battery life
If you use outlook and associated programs a lot, WM 6.5 is a lot better.
On WM 6.5 Apps can use close to 64M if your drivers and related DLLs are all in the 61 and 60 slots.
Regarding the benchmarks - I would say that a lot of what is importan about performance w.r.t. the end user experience is difficult to measure
: i.e. random stalls and a lack of responsivenes, larency when switching between aps or when touching the screen, and general smoothness of presentation.
These types of threads never get anywhere. Try some ROM's yourself and choose. Everyone taste are different.
I've used a couple recent Dutty roms and they were great, but now I'm using the fantastic Topix 2.1 rom and I love it. Bug free, stable, fast, and no annoying sms problems.
I've tried a couple different Winmo 6.5 roms and I'm not a big fan of it as it is right now. Winmo 6.5 titanium interface doesn't provide me with ease of use as TF3D does. There is no awesome music player or anything of the sort on titanium, just the same ol crappy Windows Media Player.
I find myself using TF3D even when I have a Winmo6.5 rom so I fail to see the point. The 6.5 notifications overwriting the TF3D ones, app incompatibility, etc, just makes it more annoying for me to use.
I'm gonna wait until 6.5 is more well established...or just wait for 7 =D
If you like TF3D i recommend you keep using WM6.1 ROM's... It just doesn't integrate very well with the new WM6.5 style menu's. It is possible though, but since TF3D replaces a lot of WM6.5's functions the advantage isn't that great. It is however the safest choice if you would like to try out WM6.5, but don't know yet if you want to abandon TF3D.
Personally I'm a big fan of WM6.5, and I don´t use TF3D at all anymore. The new titanium interface is sleek and stylish, and with some plugins from the XDA forums (search for 'CHome' + wat you need) I have all the functionality I need (without out the hassle and memory consumption of TF3D).
As said before by other people, you have to chose yourself. Read allot on the different ROM's, about there features, memory, WM6.1 / WM 6.5, addons / customizations, etc.
After this you'll probably have 2 or 3 ROM's you'll want to try: Do so. Flash these ROM's and you'll know exactly what you like and don't like. This is the only way of finding out if the ROM has and does what you want it to.
So stop reading this thread and do some research Good luck!
For me?? MIRI THE BEST!
Its up to individual.. Try playing with the few roms and u roughly know which you like.

Hi, I decided to open this thread since I'm a bit disspointed with the new WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMs for the Diamond and I would like to hear your pros and cons
As we know, there's not WM 6.5 official version for the HTC Diamond, that is a shame because the phone is not old!
Thanks to all of this programmers or "cookers" on this website we are able to run it, since is our wish, but we are warned of the downsides.
I flashed all the ROMs available, WM 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5.1 ...to be honest... 6.1 is well stable and fast, 6.5 looks nice and is amazing but is laggy and at the end of they day it always end up closing the program you are using if it runs out of memory, that is annoying if you are watching a video on youtube or checking the email right?
I used 6.5 for a month and I was really into it beause "it works", but with regret I went back to 6.1 due to the lack of memory and optimization for the device.
What is your experience so far with it?
Normally I much prefer official ROMs to cooked, which can be slow and unreliable. But I do want WM6.5. Maybe it's a matter of finding the right ROM.
Is there one available now (WM6.5, stable, bug free, not bloated) or should I wait? (This is something that will only be done once if at all.)
You can wait for a while, or flash all the available 6.5 ROMs and judge by yourself (I can't be bothered with the MTTY thing)
Personally, at the moment any of them don't perform quick and stable like 6.1 do
you might want to run benchmark tests
all benchmarking i did shown an increasse in performance in wm6.5.1 cooked roms in diamonds compared to stock rom.
cooked a rom and wm6.5.1 is better than 6.1 in terms of memory management and speed.
just cook your own rom and put in/remove stuff you dont like and optimize it.
Try these! (I did...) =)
Long have I've been a pro 6.1 user, but I always thought 6.5 looked more neat but with too many conn's to be actually everyday useable. Besides, AZTOR x2 ROM rocked! Also a lot of 6.5 ROM's didn't have any Diamond functionality.
Lately I've been trying 6.5.x ROM's again and currently I'm very pleased with Benko's ROM. It takes only 80Mb RAM max (Full ROM). He cooked lighter versions too, that even take less RAM. Also the ROM is fast, like really REALLY FAST, great responsiveness. Scrolling like the iPhone. Also very finger friendly.
I think if you want to consider 6.5 ROM's Benko is definitely a good candidate. I would recommend his 5.0 ROM to start with because I believe that's the most stable ROM.
Eugenia V1.02 WWE ROM is also a nice looking ROM with diamond features
the new 6.5.1 roms are much faster for me
I think I'm a bit tired of flashing and want a stable environment to browse, read emails, chat etc.
What is the best choice? Stock ROM or... Dutty's v4.3 WM6.1 Manilla 2.1 ???
I think that cooked ROMs are a bit bettter than stock. So what should I use instead of the stock but not WM6.5 (coz I think that WM6.5 is really slower and less stable than 6.1).

definitely Kwbr 15Nov Vanilla series Rhodium port. fastest, most stable, closest to stock, with Htc Sense.
So.. I have two recommendations:
Topix: which is fully tweaked and with lots of applications.
Vanilla: not tweaked at all with no additional applications.
Topix claims to be very fast. But in my understanding - Vanilla should be faster as it's not loaded with 3rd party applications.
Anyway.. seems that I need to try both. And I don't know from which to start
I like more the Vanilla version if it's really faster.
out of the 2, topix 3.1.2 is wm6.1 so is faster than vanilla which is 6.5. this is also evident if u look at the bench scores
there's also a beta topix based on wm6.5.however I haven't tried it so can't comment

OK.. So I will start with Topix.
Could anybody post a link to benchmark results? I can find a thread (link was posted above) but no chart with all the results.
Does anybody have a clue which is more responsive: Duttys v4.3, o Topix 3.1.2?

Don't forget Laurentius26 and PhamQuang ROMS... If u wanna use 6.1 then L26 v3.5 is the best as u can see in the benchmarking list and my opinion as a user. But if u wanna use 6.5 then I can say PhamQuang's v74 is not the fastest but the best since performance is a combination of stability, speed and compatibility... That's my own opinion after flashing dozens of ROMs to my Blackstone (xannytech,topix,energy,etc etc...) But in general Dutty's, Miri's, Phamquang's and Laurentius' roms are clean,stable and fast.Onkolog's Roms are extremeley clean and problem-free but slow.
I have to suggest Dutty's Holy Grail's, they are amazing! The one with Manila 2.5 is really fast, responsive and stable so imagine the one with 2.1! I always end up going back to Dutty, his roms are so solid! They're the only roms i'm able to stay with!
I think Dutty's Holy Grail R0 is the best balance between speed and stability. I have used PhamQuang, LIA, EnergyROM, and loads of others, but I keep coming back to Dutty. WM6.5 and M2.5 ftw!!
Now if only HTC could make their messaging app cope with large volumes of texts....

I am not certain about that one. I used Holly Grail for a couple of weeks, mostly because I was tired of flashing (I cannot believe I just said that being a flashing junkie) but I was not all that happy with it becasue it was slow and the touch response was not good.
Flash a stock rom and swipe your fingers across your screen, you'll know what I mean.
I am also looking for a rom which is quick, responsive and bug free, and believe only stock ones can truly deliver; they had ample time to iron our the bugs.
The cooks should concentrate on making a good working roms instead of spewing out new cores, builts, etc., every other day.
Stick to one core for a while and take time to iron out mistakes, develop useful cabs for that particular version, etc....
Cheers
P.S. I forgot to mention ONE BIG problem with the Holly Grail: it would hang on a gray screen, sort of not turned on nor turned off. I'd be sitting in my office for example with the phone close by, an hour later I'd get a call from my friends on a land line asking me why I turned my phone off. I'd look over and lo and behold, a gray screen. Tried to reanimate it with a power button but nothing would happen. Had to take out the battery in order to start it up again. This became especially irritating if I'd leave my phone on over night because of the alarm, it would hang on the gray screen again and I'd miss waking up on time.
This is a big, huge, problem for me, so I was really glad to abandon the so called Holly Grail....
Hi,
Thanks for answers. But I don't want WM6.5. I'm currently using Holy Grail R0 and I'm missing the responsivness of WM6.1.
I've tried only Dutty's WM6.1 ROMs (latest v4.3 with Manila 6.1 (not sense)). In this i trust. But wanted to try other WM6.1 alternatives.
i personally use topix. its faster than its competitors and has the best 6.1 web browsing i have ever seen (no idea how kwbr makes opera as smooth as it is). Older versions of topix (between v2.8 and 3) were the best imo. i found a version of 2.8.6 after a long google search and dont expect to be changing any time soon (although the shelby line of ROMs is beginning to attract my attention, but i digress).
Dutty 4.3 for SURE!!!!
The best 6.1 rom for me was the 4.3 and I'm using now the new leostone rom which gave me the same impression...(its even faster and better than the holy grail)
I was trying to find the best ROM as well. I went back to Laurentius 3.55 and I found out again how fast that ROM is. But the problem was the boring Manila. I like the colored Tab-icons and the weather on the homescreen.
So I took a look in the benchmarks and I saw that Topix 3.0.2 was the fastest, with HTC Sense 2.1. I'm using it again for 2 months now and I really love the ROM.
So if you want a fast WM6.1 ROM, with Leo style (HTC Sense 2.1), download Topix 3.0.2. And don't forget to change the wallpaper, because the weather animations slows down your device!
I tryed Dutty 4.3 but the call history bug never got fixed. Had sms problems too. Went back to Dutty 3.9 Turbo again, the best that has worked for me always.

if you want to old Man 2.1 with Win 6.1 use Topix 3.1.2 (very stable and fast but "old")
if you want Man 2.1 Sense (latest Win 6.5 update for the Rhodium) with Windows 6.5 use Vanilla Series Rhodium Port 15Nov release. (very stable and fast, and "NEW" ) see what I mean?
better get flashing then, before Fallen Spartan closes this thread.
Nothing can beat ongkolog 6.1 lite version 3 Jun, I installed with 43 applications without feeling slow. I switched off manila and use spb pocket plus as my main application. I keep going back to this ROM after using and flashing many other ROM 6.5 and 6.1 before.

All right is the fastest and most smooth ROM
Where I can find the kwbr vanilla from 15.11. to download?
I can only find the vanilla from 24.11. but not the older version - also not on kwbr mirror...
this is wm6.5 with leo-manila?
thank you!
Guys,
Could you rank a few ROMs from best to leats on a ascale from 1-10. 10 being the most stalbele and best rom and 1 being the least?
I say Agent´s Leo 23517
i say that you couldnt scale these roms as they are made by the chef for the chef and choose to release them to us to try them out why dont u download a few and try them out some u will like some u wont try them till you find one u do like.

6.1 or 6.5
Well i'd give a 9-10 to [2009-12-09][WWE][ROM] Touch X 10.9.1 (WM6.1/Manila 2.1.19202517) NUTS!
As it works perfectly without any issue ; no freeze and perfect for a day to day use.
& a 7.5-8 to [26 NOV 09 | SEX1 R5.07]
It is good but not all X2 stuff works as it should but smooth and sleek interface and it is a 6.5.
I've tried many other but had problems (freezing, no landscape, unstable..etc)
another 9/10 for [2009-12-09][WWE][ROM] Touch X 10.9.1 (WM6.1/Manila 2.1.19202517) NUTS!
I have a couple of minor issues with the weather tab in this ROM, but they are minor. It is a stunning piece of work. It has Sense (Manila 2.1) on WM6.1, a very good compromise of Manila features and 6.1 speed/stability.
I would also give a 8/10 for its predecessor, 10.8.1 Very fast and stable, one point less since the Manila version is not as pretty
I would give 6/10 for Itje's Touch IT 10.4 I reflashed it a few times, but it was never particularly stable for me.
(Once flashed, I customise with a lot of different apps)
It may be an unfair comment, but look at the number of pages each ROM thread has. This is a fair indication of popularity. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a similar thread to this, already.

I think 11.01.10] Touch-IT BL Landscape - Build 21889
bugfree, fery fast, & stable.
Valkyire too much error & bug...
Very good post!
I would give Touch-It BL Landscape 9/10 points if it was a bit more stable and if TomTom would work on it!

not quite:
1st videoplayback is almost as is not working
2nd the included opera does not support hardware keyboard, you must install another version on top of the already cooked one
3nd the soft keyboard has a major bug when you add a number to contact it gets stucked in numerical mode and you must edit registry to get it back.
However is a matter of tastes and how you use ur phone daily. The most stable roms are those with manila 2.1 and winmo 6.5 build 218xxx or winmo 6.1
Valkyrie is ok but suffers from SoD but some users here are making progress in ironing this out
EnergyRom is ok too, especially the one w/ manila 2.1, for 2.5 you have to install sms client / patch it and also you'll not have manila docs working
A very good rom if you dont care for manila is X2 ported rom from jerpelea
And many other, those 4 I speak of ive tested myself in the last month and thats why I spoke of them
EnergyROM "Leo" 21885 Sense 2.5
10/10 - Best rom ever! Increased my battery time and signal enormous. Eye candy, fast, stable and landscape works
The other ones i've tried are already mentioned.

I'm using valkyrie v5.5.23517 with HTC Sense running since it was uploaded and I haven't had the SoD once. I use my phone for TomTom, Video Calling, Calling, Browsing the net, Texting with the Windows Mobile Client. But I have turned off the Twitter, Email and Documents Tabs off in HTC Sense. Using this to get all Background 4 all tabs with landscape has made it the best Manila Rom I have used on the X1.
I've tried the different versions EnergyRoms I could never get passed the splash screen that's probably my fault.
With Touch-IT BL Landscape - Build 21889 I can't live without the hardware keyboard in Opera.
hmm for me - all the roms posted here are great and the most stable roms around tends to change every now and then. newer roms from the same chef may not be the most stable or greatest as all chefs are experimenting as well.
currently these are my fav:
1. gtrab sex1 r5.07. not so eye candy but very usable & stable. minimal crashes. (nice to have xperia dialer, i miss wm6.5.3)
2. christian 3.7 & 4.0 clean (had problem with 3.8 & 3.9 but so far 4.0 working great ..... nice big finger friendly menu and best of all xperia dialer. miss htc task manager though)
3. energy rom with manila 2.1 (nice eye candy and stable)
Have to go with Touh-X 10.9.1 myself. I've tried a few different roms, found WM6.5 to be inherently unstable on my Xperia, And Mr. Rusch's implementation of Manilla 2.1 is amazing. The Rom runs at lightspeed, have not had a single crash. My only complaint about it is that I've lost the seemless integration of manila's in-built SMS util. If I wish to use it, I need to go through contacts -> open contact, slide to messages.

What do you call 'best'?!
I've been a fan of the EnergyROM "Leo" series for a while (if you want Manila.) They seemed to be reliable and stuffed full of eye candy.
Not NRGZ28's fault but the Leo Manila has been pretty buggy for ages and I got fed up with it and went back to the PURE WM6.5 that was released on 26 Nov 2009. Its been faultless and I'd recommend it if you simply want WinMo 6.5 on your X1. I've used it since its release date without any problems.
Over Xmas I got caught up in the X2 excitement and have installed jerpelea's 'test' ROMs. His 007 is the first 'FINAL' build I can live with (the earlier ones kept hanging on me) but its full of X2 eye candy and functionality and I'm finding it runs better over time - weird but true.
Depends what you mean by 'best' I suppose, TF3D ROMs have the HTC look and feel but are generally a bit buggy, a clean WM6.5 has the new WinMo look and feel and should be more reliable, and an X2 ROM is likely to be buggy but have the new Xperia eye candy!
EDIT: Whatever ROM you flash, make sure you hard-reset afterwards to give it a fighting chance of performing well! Personally I tend to hard-reset a couple of times as I've had some issues when only doing it the once with some custom ROMs.
Whats the best WM 6.5 rom 21xxx version with manila 2.1?
There' no best ROM out there...

The best ROM is the one you like and feel confortable with.
I've long been a fan of Manilla, be it 2, 2.1 or 2.5 Leo/Sense.
As far as stability and battery life is concerned I found the older versions of Energy (september) and the 3.8 versions of valkyrie to be more to my liking; the current line-up from both cooks are still fine though.
Unfortunately, most of the "improvements" come not with tweaks to stabilize the existing ROM, but generaly consist of updates, upgrades and new applications = new bugs/issues;
I am by no means disrespectfull, on the contrary, I am gratefull for the immense contribution of these cooks to the community.
After some dissapointing isuues with 3 Leo versions (ijte, valkyrie and energy) I am very happy with jerpelea's X2 007 (not that it is bug free but I find it fast and usable).
Good luck hunting out there and support the chefs!
Agent 47 - Leo 23517

+ 1 here too!!!!
Currently for me it is the best 2.5 with landscape support. All works fine and no SOD since a couple of tweeks including radio update 1.16. 25.48.
Cheers
For 100% bug free, fast and stable you need to be looking at older ROM's i.e. WM 6.1 and you also need to define whether you want Manila or just WM. There are so many different variations you cannot just say 'which is best'. It always depends on what you as the user want.
I have tried many diferent ROM's, mainly Agent 47, NRG and Itje but have always migrated back to Agents ones as I find they suit me better but I like the cutting edge stuff, Manila 2.5 is my favourite UI so I am definately into Valkyrie Leo 23517.
The only way is to try a few and see which one you like but be warned you could turn into a flashaholic!
