Which rom?

I've got a touch diamond and I'm looking for a wm 6.1 or 6.5 rom, original as possible, but without touchflo (can't get used to it).
Which config should I run, or ROM should I download.
I also had an htc touch, normal edition, with wm6.5, tabish rom. Exactly how I liked it.
Currently running original 6.1 latest firmware from htc site.

Have a look in the ROM forum, lots in there to choose from!

hummmmmm
this question is not welcome here...always ends in a fight
the only way to find whats best for you is to start flashing!
good luck

[help] What means kitchen and ROM?

I'm really new to this and everywhere it says: ROMs and Kitchen and also ROM Kitchen and I can never find what a kitchen really is. If search Kitchen I find all these kitchen files which people created, but is it something where you flash your mobile with? Like my Xperia I flashed from version 1 to version 2 (RCAA2 or something).
But I don't know all these terms and maybe they are so easy that if you don't know it you can't find it anywhere. For example when I want to download WinMO 6.5 it says: Kitchen and ROM, but I don't know the difference and just wanted to flash my mobile (which is rather easy i thought)
So can someone tell me the difference?

in the kitchen developers cook the rom's
a rom is the program you flash to your phone to update it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kovsky&redirectfrom=HTC_Venus

a rom is more a image that you flash to your device than a program
kitchen is the programm you need to cook a rom...
to cook a rom mean to create your own image for your device

Ah I see, thanks for the answers. I just updated mine to WM 6.5 looks good, but as my endless GPRS is starting in may I know still want to use NoData, which is not working, so i'm going back to generic.
Thanks for the answers I know have more of an idea of the meanings

WM 6.5 Solid Xperia

I have searched and found nothing...will there be any developments of a ROM consisting of wm 6.5 and SEUS R3A firmware?
I do not mean R3A with the first leaked R3A goodies, I mean a 6.5 with strictly what is available in the official SEUS R3A...as in everything without any subtractions.
I like wm 6.5, but i also like the default setup of my xperia, i dont like the TF3D, neither do I like the leaked panel manager neither the leaked cam software (due to the fact that after saving a recorded video, it saves in two files and not one)
trying to understand how to cook my own rom is brain cuffuffling, can anyone help me please?
currently have the x1i with SUES R3A generic UK

Here's a tutorial on how to cook your own roms, maybe that will help..
good luck!
tutorial

I saw a 6.5 rom in different tastes: Pure (as close to stock R3A as possible), BB (barebone, stripped from most stuff) and with addons.
It's not even that far down if you look in this subforum: here it is.
There's probably more (recent ones), but just take a strawl along the topics with 6.5 in it and find the rom that suits you best......
I think you'll like roms with names like lite, light, barebone, bb....

thnx guys, i think i will try to cook my own until one of the pros cook one...
Gwystyl...i have seen that thread but it does have the leaked R3A stuff i mentioned, what im looking for is exactly what the current R3A has with wm 6.5 instead of 6.1

Ah, in that case you probably have to cook your own with jerpelea's kitchen and an extracted R3A rom. Good luck with that, and please share if you think it's stable enough!

Use the SYS WM6.5 21500 and ROM/XIP folders from my pure ROM and drop the stock R3A OEM package into the recipe
Launch the new SEX1 Kitchen I upoaded yesterday and have fun
I made it SSE (small, simple and easy)
I will upload the full UK stock Sony Ericsson R3A OEM for you tonight, so you don't have to dump it
PM if you need help
Wanna try ??
PS: In the mean time, I keep testing SYS build 21728 to see if the two or three minor bugs are soved or inherited from build 21500

thanks for your hard work on the pure R3A/R3A beta/WM6.5 ROMs - perfect combo; I haven't flashed anything but stock so far, but when I get my X1 back from the shop, that's what I will go with.

gtrab...thanks a million for your assistance and all you are doing to help newbies like myself, I will practice cooking now, so when the final 6.5(without the battery icon bug) is released I wont be scrambling
cheers mate

Tutorial Request for n00bs

Hi guys iv been trying out most of the ROMs on here on my new rhodium and i cant seem to find one that fits my needs, i just want a stock ROM such as the signed one with everything stripped out of it and no viual mods but something that will allow me to add custom clocks, taskbars and such things as in a cooked ROM, i know this isnt a possibility as everyone is out to try and prove themselves so i came to the conclusion that making my own from the stock signed or vodafone roms i have,
I have done some basic programming before albeit in visual studio which does write the code for you but i understand the basics of coding and debugging
I would like to ask for the most basic of basic tutorials or links that will get me started, i.e: You will need Visual Kitchen V3...... [Link] and you will need to have [this] rom and such
As im pretty sure i have most of the resources i just have no idea where to start, I'd really appreciate any help!
I'v been checking out the forum for quite a while and have learned a lot, love the work you guys are doing!
Thanks again!
EDIT:
Im only trying to create a 6.1 ROM not interested in 6.5 due to the speed issues it has

Give me a day or two and my PRO Super D-Lite (just thought of name for my new lite ROM) will be out and you will love the speed of it even with 6.5. I have an early test build in my older thread if you want to try it but the final is coming very soon.
I felt the same way as you with 6.5 but this ROM has me loving 6.5 now

Cheers Gordon,
And thanks Atom ill keep an eye out for it man!
And that thread Gordon linked to is great just what i was looking for, i did search but to no avail multiple times )=

Just keep reading and searching, all the info is on this forum or the wiki pages somewhere...

[WM6.1 ROM] request - possibly new cook

Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.
Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me . Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.
But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.
After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.
I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).
Anyone knows about such person?
If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.
Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

i know raptordin is doing that
w6.1 whit sense2.1
he said he is almost finished
so wait a little more he will post his rom

Look at the Topix thread, Kwbr has been cooking 6.1 roms for quite some time. His 3.1.2 rom is supposedly bugfree!
I'm not sure if he's gonna update it anytime soon though.

I have to agree after months of rom flashing with manila 2.5. wm6.5 and 6.5.1...I did an official rom flash and had a play with the old 6.1 and wow it was fast and highly responsive.
so yes I would also be interested in a 6.1 kitchen with manila 2.1
where do we find one

btw almost forgot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
it is discontineud and dont know where it is to the things from now but its 6.1 whit sense2.5
its sayd its usable for every day you could always test till the 6.1 whit 2.1 is out

Sorry, don't want Sense 2.5 (very slow on HD), only 2.1 - it's enough for me.
But thanks for recommendation

i think the final version of topix wm6.1 is what youre looking for.

Sorry but KWBR will not be updating his 6.1 version anymore he has moved to 6.5 and has sold his HD.

I constantly keep coming back to this KWBR 3.1.2 rom
So fast, so reliable and so much more suited to our Touch HD's
I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....
But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot
If I could find a Kitchen for the latest 6.1 I would start learning to chef myself

here is a kitchen with WM 6.1 and Sense 2.1

unfortunately (for you) it's in ITA

Look on my signature...

Which kitchen?
OK, it seems I am going to build my own ROM. I would like to try to use some cooked ROMs as the base and continue from this point. Anyone knows how to proceed?
I have downloaded few kitchens already (jCEspi's, Ervius, osKitchen, PPCkitchen...) but having problems to use them properly. I haven't found any detailed howto yet, only some basics from the thread or attached readme files. So far "try-fail" style doesn't get me anywhere.
I would appreciate any help with some good howtos.
Thanks,
Gabriel

This might help

It maybe of help in getting started. Not sure if it contains a 6.1 Kitchen but Kwbr has compiled what would appear to be a great tutorial on how to cook.

kwbr tutorial isn't needed.
Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).
Kitchens is sometimes more pain than help for novice cook.

Cool, will get through these, thanks.
