Hey guys
Have been using Dutty's WinMo6.1 ROMs for a while now, and keen to try out a 6.5 ROM. Anyone have any thoughts on the fastest, most stable 6.5 ROM currently available? Dutty's, Miri's, Energy...?
Would appreciate any advice on good 6.5 ROMs
Thanks!
This one is my favourite

Seriously guy? They're all good, just download one and try it out, or better yet read one of the threads about the particular rom you're interested in. No one else can tell you how it will work for you!
PS. All threads asking "best", "fastest", "most stable" etc get shut down! Do a search in this forum to see why!
*Edit: Lol homer!!!
wow, helpful responses. thanks a lot
You're most welcome!
your question is like asking, what is the best car to drive? What is the nicest country to live? At a movie theater which arm rest is yours? Where does the toe-tag go on a dead person if they don't have toes? How far east can you go before you're heading west? What's the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup?
EDIT: Why do they call him Donkey Kong if he is not a donkey?
You simply dont get get it!
It is all speculation since everybody using the ROM their criticing will comment its the best and the fastest etc until there's a war of: This is best and that is best ROM! The only way to know is to try them and then decide yourself! Next time follow the guidelines, this is not Question and Answers!
Actually, no, it's not. Speed and reliablity are things you can quantitatively measure, and therefore compare on the basis of. If I'd asked, 'what's the best ROM', then fair enough. But I asked for opinions on the fastest and more reliable 6.5 ROM. Those are measurable things, and I was also interested in people's opinions.
I'm not sure why you're being so defensive.
I think you just don't get it. Fastest/More stable is very relative. Fastest for me doesn't mean fastest for you. More stable for me doesn't mean ore stable for you.. It's depends on how you use the phone or what application you use the most.
Just try to flash one 6.5 ROM and try it out. if you don't like it, you can always revert back to 6.1 ROM. Use Sashimi or other backup program to restore your settings if you think flashing is a chore..
ROM Benchmarks in this forum, at the top with the "Sticky" label: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190
If you go a few pages in this rom development forum you will find TONS of threads asking the exact same thing; Which rom fast? stable? etc etc!!
Thanks for the link xmsnx, I'll check it out.
I guess the fact there are 'benchmarks' suggests you CAN compare ROMs, despite what others seems to think...
Cheers
You simply still dont get it!
hi i just recently purchased a touch hd telstra and am about to flash it with a 6.5 , there are a lot of talented people here with their own versions of 6.5, is there one that is the most standard rom with everything included and which one would that be?
Goodness me, this genre of question is asked two to three times a day, do some of your own investigating and research and in future follow the forum guidelines, dont be so arogant!

If you have to ask, you are probably better off sticking to the default ROM you phone comes with.
i suggest to make a sticky with the title 'NO WHICH ROM TO USE TOPICS HERE!!!!'
but not even that will stop some ppl from posting that ****.
You could even use the word KNOW instead of NO
I have a feeling this thread will be closed soon.
No ROM is the "best". Each excel in some ways and its up to you to decide whats best for you. Its a bit like asking someone for some good music. they will only tell you what they think is good, not necessarily what is good for you.
what does this mean? youre gonna have to try them all and see which you like most (shouldnt take more than an hour or so as there arent that many)
Hi Guys,
It has been a while that i flashed my rom since Dutty has left us.
I am wondering wich cooker come closest to Dutty. I know that a Rom is a personal thing.
I am running sense 2.1 holy grail r01 now some improvements on new roms.
Well before this thread gets quickly locked down
There are plenty of good chefs here at least as good as Dutty ever was . Read the threads, see what bugs are being experienced, see what type of roms appeal to you and try a few out. As you rightly said they are personal things, so what appeals to one may not be to your liking.
Edit: The more experienced ones for Blackstone are miri, nrg with some newer chefs such as XannyTech, Flashmore, Hello Nasty amongst others (no offense intended to anyone I left out ) and they all do great jobs.
Xannytech roms are very...very good.

Not a fair question to ask as all chefs put a lot of effort in there Roms and to start ranking chefs is really deminishing there work while highlighting only one. That's not the goal of this thread.
Suggestion: Flash a couple of Roms and be your own judge. Visit the chefs thread and do some reading helps as well.
Good luck in your voyage....
I have tried, and i recommend:
-Laurentius26: Really smooth and stable
-NRGZ28: Really good looking. Includes a lot of apps and good theme.
A simple thing to do is:
1. Back up your current ROM (using Sprite and PIM Backup). That way, in case you don't like what you see with whatever you're trying, you can simply go back to the ROM and reload Sprite and PIM files.
2. Load up Sashimi with all the cabs you use (to device and storage card)
3. Download whatever ROM you're going to try out (don't forget to hard reset after loading)
4. Load up Sashimi to load all programs, restore your PIM file
and you're done.
That's what I do...it's all a matter of trial and preferences. Sure, some time is invested in finding the ROM you like, however, I'm sure that everyone would agree that once they find "IT", it's makes for a more enjoyable experience in using their phone.
There will be one or two things you don't like about a ROM, but isn't that a fact of life, that nothing is ever perfect???
As much as Dutty is a great chef, there are plenty of others chefs which are just as good, possibly better so its unfair to these chefs that put so much hard work in that you ask this question. Users also have loyalties so will obviously recommend there favourites. Everyone has different opinions and as such there is no real answer.
Best advice is to backup and flash some yourself to make your own conclusion

Hey guys,
I can see this "Touch HD ROM Development" forum is messy with 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs together so its time to make a new Sub-Forums for 6.1 and 6.5 ROM separate... What do you guys think?
Actually I think its a great idea, Android too.
Regards
Flashmore
As a user of 6.1, I would really dig the addition of dedicated subforums.
Hope that can be done very soon, will be great and easy for everyone! get Moderator / Owner of this forum to do it?

Agreed!
I totally agree, it would definately help.
--I'd put a poll on it before asking the mods to do anything tho--
I'd also like to see this in the Apps/Themes section... some 6.1 icons and other stuff won't work 100% on 6.5 correct?

ok, first off the title to each rom thread should already tell you whether or not its wm6.1 or wm6.5, plus if we break it into sub-forums for this, were does it stop, i.e. new sub forums for sense/manila, different build versions, Android etc etc
People just have to learn to search, simple as!!
I'll mention this in the mods/admin section but I'm not sure it would go any further for reasons I've already mentioned, plus svetius/admin have enough on their plate as it already is

Disregard message
errr why, hardly any chef creates WM6.1 any more which is a shame.
even if they did they would probably have multiple offerings, ie a WM6.5 vers, WM6.5.5 and WM6.1 possibly.
Most people seem to title there threads pretty well these days, ie.[WM6.1]
I agree with Spartan
I have to agree with the Spartan.
The titles pretty much tell you what version of OS is installed. You just need to read, search, etc.
We also need to remember that most of the mods have day jobs too and volunteer their time to keep this place running. They do a pretty good job and I don't usually see any thanks sent their way for their efforts.
Just my 2 cents worth
great idea
I think it's a great idea!
1- wm 6.1 roms
2- wm 6.5 roms
3- wm 6.5.X roms
4- android development
would be great !
I agree that the title tells you but with sooo many roms still being cooked it would be nice to split it a bit.
A dedicated Android area would make that a bit easier to follow as there is a few things going on and they get very lost in the WM roms...
As to 6.1/6.5 maybe all we need is a ROMS only sub forum. leave the top level for discussing radio's and comparison roms. Also any other developments then the sub forum has ONLY the roms and nothing else.
Since there is no official HTC ROM for Touch HD on WM 6.5 or Android, I have to agree with Fallen Spartan.
Even if there is, such division would make tracking ROMs more difficult.
And if you spot ROM you like, there's always "Subscribe thread" option...
I agree too with subforums for WM 6.1 and WM 6.5 and even WM 7 and don't forget ANDROID or Linux subforum !!!
i don't think that this is a good idea, BUT...
would it be possible to creat a "filter", so that we can filter threads out or only view threads wich are in our interests.
And every Thread-creator marks a few options do define is thread.
This would be much better to search for special things like wm6.5, tf3d 2.5, or only wm6.5.x, wm6.5.x+tf3d2.5....

As it stands users who create threads can tag his/her threads with 'code words' which help for filtering when using the 'search option'
All we need is for people who create threads to use this option.....it already exists!!!!!
Hm... i thougt we couldn't search for things with only 3 letters.
Or is that possible with the "[]"s?
Cool, than it would be greate if all people would mark their threads with the right [...]s *gg*

I for one was out of the game for a while and came back to see 6.5 everywhere. I'm not particularly impressed and prefer a tweaked version of my original 6.1 ROM. I use the search function extensively for some tools and such that I used to use, but the problem is so many things from 6.1 carry to 6.5. Keywords and the like don't really change that much in the evolution of operating systems, so while I did find what I was looking for from several months back, it took an awful long time. Subforums would make things easier to find, and potentially cut back on useless posts because the information wouldn't be as chaotic. I understand it wouldn't be as easy as snapping fingers to make it happen, but with the various groups who follow the Blackstone, subforums would make information more accessible. Just my nickel's worth.
Bit of info for everyone
I've recommended that the Blackstone rom development forums be split into 2 sub forums
Android development & WM development
Think this should be enough at present to help de-clutter the forum. I still don't see a need for further sub-forums. People just need to learn to search!!!!!
Understand, this is only a recommendation and if may not be granted
EDIT - FLar has created a new thread with a poll to enable you to vote for the rom development forum to be split into Android development & WM development
Hi
What custom ROM would you say is the fastest one out there. Does not matter if its 6.1 or 6.5, just need it to be fast.
Many thanks
826x or dynamics 2.0 any of these i'm currently using 826x latest build and it is blazing fast xD
how about "test them yourself?!"
and how about "ask in the right forum?!" this isn't exactly a dev-related question.
oh, and the fastest rom with what? with sense? without? bare-rom? or do you want applications installed? questions like "which is the fastest?" are pretty useless. or the best. or the most stable.
and above all, they're just plain lazy!
just go and flash the roms that are actively developed. there aren't that many left these days. noone knows how you use your phone and you don't know how other people use their phones. or how many roms they've tried before saying "this is the best".
Well
If you want fast for X1 stay with the original ROM (6.1). It was design for this device so you will get the least bugs and SOD's.
As for me I used Energy and couple other ones, they were OK but after having my device replaced I never got back to flash custom ROM.
I heard 826x is good and so is Dynamics 2.0 (this Dynamics will be releasing new ROM soon...so he said).
@caliban2
I thought this was user friendly forum there is no need for your replay like that.
I agree that every one is using their device different way, but can you image what would happen if people would not voice their opinion? This world would go to crapper dude.
Every opinion counts and maybe you are tech savvy, not every one is, and even you were not born that way, you had to ask questions. Right?
We all make mistakes as some point in our lives, little pointers the right directions are good, but comments like yours don't make friends.
Also I though that in order to ask question in dev forum you need to be some sort of level (like 10 post or something like that).
Like the old saying goes "If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all."

wrong.
i had to search & read a lot before becoming the 47th person asking the same question again - i think there's something in the rules about that. and how many "best rom/fastest rom"-threads are there now? aren't those in general / q&a section enough? and don't tell me this thread has anything to do with if someone's "tech-savvy"...
but hey, if you guys are happy going through the same topic over and over again - have fun!

Thank you, see was that so hard?
P.S.
As new ROMs are being create "the same topics" are not exactly the same...like ford is not the same this year as it was couple of years back....or even last year.
good thing is:
i don't get any of the bugs reported in here. but then, i'm not really running the same rom.
Click to expand...

Does this look familiar? If last year ROMs are as good as this year, why are you using ultrashot kitchen to create new ROM?
Why Energy is updating his every few days?
Why not use jerpelea last years kitchen?
See my point?
in my opinion best custom ROM for X1 is gtrab's SEX1 Pure ROM
It's WM6.5 with Titanium and all XPeria stuff (without Sense). Zero weird customizations, just OS upgrade from WM6.1 to WM6.5.

don't get condescending. i don't think i need your permission or approval, hm?
it ain't hard at all. but at least keep it in the right forum, not dev.
why am i using dynamic-kitchen? because itje stopped cooking, i was using ervius kitchen after that and when ultrashot released his, he made it easy for me to make the switch to osbuilder.
you see? has nothing to do with "last years roms are still good". where did i say that anyway? but what's strange is that in these "best rom"-threads always very old roms are recommended: gtrab stopped cooking a long time ago, and now even stock is good?!
for the rest it simply comes down to personal taste. and how stable a rom is. so, what does it tell you if i say "in the past 2 years i never had a stable rom from agent47, gtrab, nrg or 826x etc. only itje and ultrashot made everyday-roms"?
right, it tells you nothing. because your experience and demands are different. also, saying "this is the best rom of them all" is quite demeaning to all the other cooks which provide you with a choice, don't you think?
but to keep with the thread:
from reading the last few pages of the active rom-threads, it looks like dynamics is the most stable combined with the latest software. 826x-series seems also fast and stable. oh, wait. now it's down again to personal taste, right?

Heheh...you are funny.
Thanks guys for taking the time to reply to my question. And yes, maybe the question was not clear enough when i wrote it for some people.
I am looking for the fastest custom, dont need any preinstalled programs or any fancy things. Its gonna be used on a device to remote control the PC, so the only thing i will be needing is a VNC program, and that i can download by myself.
I actually searched the forums for a related topic before i started this one, and could not find any that was up to date enough. This topic is not like the other ones where people ask "whats the best rom", i am looking for a specific thing in the rom, it needs to be fast.
Anyhow, thanks for the tips for those that replied.
@caliban2, I am looking for other peoples opinons on what they think the fastest rom is, that is one of the things a forum is for, to hear other peoples opinons. Yes, i can test every single rom out there, but i thing its just better to check with the people more involved in the recent roms out there, thus this sub-forum.
that's indeed a different approach... ^^
sounds like you need just a fast barebone phone, with no fancy stuff at all and as much free resources as possible. in that case i think stockrom should be the best choice. winmo 6.1 is less demanding than 6.5, performance-wise.
so either stock or find an old custom-rom from 6.1-era (year 2009; there were a few, gtrab did such stuff and agent47 had one as well, iirc), where most apps were removed and nothing from htc has been added. you could also dump stockrom, remove stuff you don't need and re-cook your own barebone.
and of course, you can always go for a more recent 6.5-barebone, but 6.1 should be the optimum.
well a really fast ROM would be one running a bare WM6.1 or 6.5.x
you could try PURE. his ROMs are very minimalistic and emphasize on speed and functionality. and in my opinion they are very stable too. dont expect TF3D or sense though.
even ENERGY has very minimalistic ROMs. and since he has skinned various versions, u can choose the best one for you.

some people just get frustrated and angry sitting whole day long in front of their PC´s and phones it seems. Its a simple question and im here because i have also the same question. Someone whith a brain would start answering wit firts 6.5 or 6.5.3, of course bare , and which one is the fastest. Fast comes from speed and can be interpreted as a lack of delay or retardness, also. Anyhow if you want to give usefull answers or help with your knowledge then proof showing your angor to some real people ine real life.
Best Rom is Dynamics 2.1.
Best ROM
In my opinnion it is the x826 ROM. Before this rom is used the Energy Rom but, batterie life is not good with this rom, so I installed x826 ROM, it was faster, and more batterie friendly and I never had any error or freeze.
In my opinnion it is the x826 ROM
826x and happy camper. Been using it for about 2 months and it's working just fine for me.
i think official rom the best but energyRom and 826x is nice rom too,,,,
I tried almost every rom.but the best in speed with good programs is dynamics 2.2.0...u must forget about sense,the best with sense is 826x but have some problems.energy is full of useless programs
