Another ‘Which ROM?” thread….

Hi folks, I’m not from around these parts, I live in the Kaiser world!
I have a friend who is not technically minded, but wants me to update the ROM on his diamond.
I need to put a stable ROM on there that he can use day in day out without having to worry about solving bugs etc himself as I won’t be around to do it for him! He’s just your average, email, music and texting user – doesn’t need anything specific.
Over in the Kaiser section I would recommend PDA Ultimate V19. There are better versions after this, but in the drive for perfection and speed, each new release throws up bugs that need tweaking every now and then – this is what I’m trying to avoid.
Please can you let me know which version of a ROM you would recommend for him? The one you’ve run for ages and always return to. If there are just one or two tweaks I need to make to it, if you could detail those and I’ll sort them before I hand him his upgraded diamond back never to be tweaked again!!
Thanks in advance
Ps. Mods – didn’t want to clutter the ROM section with this, so put it in here.

ATTENTION!: We are glad that our community is growing really fast. Unfortunately, the number of topics in the threads of the forums grow in a very larger manner. Unfortunately not every user is aware of the general forum usage and posting rules. As a direct conseque to that MODERATORS will apply the Diamond forum, as one of the most active forums on the site, a very strict moderating policy which might imply:
immediate thread deletion when newly created thread addresses an already discussed topic;
immediate thread deletion when newly created thread addresses an issue such as "Which ROM is the best", "Diamond vs iPhone", etc.;

I did read the rules.
Did you read my post?

also interested
I am also interested in this. I have read all the threads till now and kinda convinced me not to update the ROM. From what i've read, ROM v 1.93 has many bugs (e.g. phone rings one and then no more, send SMS to someone and I receive the message -> these are only single member problems, not happened to many people). In the end ... any suggestions on ROM update?

Yeh - what i always return to is stock rom and SPB Mobile Shell v3 on top of it - it's awesome...

New developments

Thought we could use this thread for new things that pop up in Manila or WM 6.5 instead of people posting in rom threads this can be our upto date one stop shop!
So...... what's the goss?
fanks!
(Mods can we get this sticky?)

Threads are only stickied if they are extremely useful and used everyday continuously. So far this thread has provided nothing. Also, when a new manila is released generally a new thread is posted about it and people comment within that thread. Chef's update their threads (first post) or create new threads when they create a rom with a new manila. Generally when someone has an issue with a certain rom, whether it be manila or anything else they post their query in that rom thread, including manila issues as although a lot of chef's may use same manila, they don't always have same issues as other registry changes have been implemented into indivial roms.
So no need to post in this thread?

[POLL] Android Sub-Forum? (Please Sticky)

All of these new Android-based threads can get confusing to keep track of and/or even 'lost' among all the WinMo ROM development threads. I think an Android Sub-forum would be nice.. what about you?
Android Threads:
[ROM/BOUNTY] Rhodium Android Port [$1125/$2435] - Early builds in post #3 [12/24]
Poll: Android Port to HTC Touch Pro 2
[ANDROID2.0.1] Rhodium versions
[Resources]Haret Ported Android 1.6 Donut Version for Rhodium(Milestones)

I just feel if we don't do this there will be many off topic threads started asking what android is or questions about the android port. A new Sub-forum would keep this area clear of that.... Plus you'd have a one stop location to keep up with just android, if you've eventually dropped window mobile and stuck with androidd (hoping that android becomes that stable).

Agreed
Agreed. Please create an Android subforum.

No theres only one thread worth reading (out of about 5), the bounty thread.
If you cant keep up with it in the rom development forum, what is the chance of you finding it in a sub forum clogged with other android forums.
I think you'd be ebtter of with the main thread stickied rather then a new sub forum.

There are now some sections specially for Android
Anyway better to ask Mods on this special thread so they are aware of your request:

All 2 of them? It should be under apps just like games, emulators and addons..

I haven't found it particularly hard to keep track of, but think it would be better if a Rhodium Android sub forum was created alongside Rhodium Rom Development.
I think the Rhodium ROM Development sub forum should really be for custom Windows Mobile ROMS, not questions about Android builds, issues and related.
A separate sub forum for Android on Rhodium would allow many threads relating to various issues of Rhodium Android development to be easily found rather than all Rhodium Android stuff being found somewhere in a big messy thread within the ROM Dev sub forum.
The poll currently shows the majority agreeing this is the way forward, we'll see what the mods think.

I will agree that right now it's not that big of a deal, but when this stuff starts working, there will be a bigger issue with keeping everything straight.

Yes please, will make everything more "neater" .

I vote Yes

I totally agree .........

(for now) i personally don't care for WM ROM modding, so for me to find a few android threads in a sea of WM is more difficult than it could be.
and I'm sure WM-only folks won't mind seeing 'offtopic' threads gone.
it'll be easier to start threads for different topics and not get buried in an avalanche of WM threads.
it cost admins nothing to create Android specific forums for us..

Ok!
Really good idea, I agree.

Has Miri Stopped developing roms for our blackstones?

just like the title says, has miri stopped?
i have not seen any new roms over at htcpedia.com and here at xda for quite a long time. ive always been checking for the past 3 weeks and havent found anything new except for HTC LEO roms from miri
anyone know?

Did you really need a new thread for this? Why don't you just ask the question in the current miri threads as surely the users there will know best?

Finding information is hard enough, not least because of folks creating new threads.
It's not like this is even Miri's main location...
Anyway, I suspect the most likely reason for a lack of activity is a lack of upstream software... (no new Sense, or Windows versions of significance (yet))

As per above posts, why did you create a new thread for this? No need whatsoever.
Please read over the forum rules again and post your query in one of Miri's threads

[Q] [sticky request] best fastest recommended ROM statement

I see some people in various threads in this section asking what's the best ROM, fastest ROM or ask to be recommended a ROM. This seems to lead to grumpy response from senior forum members, and I agree with them for every dev's input. I'm asking to consider one sticky named fastest and best ROM ever, in which people will find a statement that I've seen end many threads; No such thing as a "the best" or "the fastest", just try different ones and stick with the one you prefer.
I think that would be a thread that may keep the forum a bit cleaner and gives noobs like us a higher chance to not strike out when fresh in the field. Besides, it saves frustration and could be referred to if someone would still dare ask which one is the best...

Unfortunately, many of them (maybe all of them), neither search the captivate fora, nor read stickies before they post. So, I am afraid the sticky might never reach the intended audience.

I am going to pitch this to the Mod team, cause frankly we are tired of closing all the "Best Threads". They are always pissing contests and the chipsets on these devices are as different as two sides of an Oreo. What works on one Cappy, could not work on another Cappy.
I am going to close this thread now, but I will be PMing a few of you for input on how to make one that is effective and able to be used by others to link to when "Best Rom" threads pop up.
