Fast rom - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

I dont care about eye candy i just want it to be fast and functional but so far even leos newest rom is kinda slow, can anyone recommend a rom with manila thats fast?

Dutty R14 Htcpedia Forum Manila 2.1 ROM is a fast and otherwise good for daily use. Manila also Leo5 Dutty 2.5 ROM I recommend.
If you want really fast WinMo 6.1 rom, you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=537948
each of rom in this forum may want to try they all have their good features

How about reading one of the sticky topics about benchmarks?!?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190

Benchmarks dont mean **** to me, ive tried lots of roms and benchmarks have nothing to do with the speed that i feel and need. Just because a rom copys a 10mb file faster than a different one doesnt mean its faster in other areas too.
Thank you zeus for your reply ill try some of them.

the only way to satisfy your wish, is for you to try out the cooked ROMs around. it will help if you specify how you define "fast" is in a ROM. do a list of the things you find good and bad in each ROM, and hopefully you can make a conclusion. mind you there are loads to try
here is my findings being a flashaholic for the last 6months.
Win 6.1 based - generally faster particularly if paired with older Manila versions
Win 6.5 based - usually paired with the latest Manila version, many are fast but overall not as fast as older Win 6.1 based ROMS

Which Rom You Recomend?

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 donĀ“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.

What do you think about the new WM 6.5 ROMs?

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

Which of the ROMs is the fastest (maybe old good WM6.1)?

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.

Fastest and stable Manila ROM on HD?

Hi Chefs,
Just an idea.
Been wandering around on this super forum for a while and have tried a lot of ROM's.
What I've seen is that almost all of the Chefs cook a ROM based on a latest build, and then try to get the ROM as fast and stable as possible. Some of the Chefs really done a great job, like Miniterror, Mikenificent, Xannytech and Gregorz. Still, these ROMs are getting quicker, but none of them are really fluid, like for example a iPhone.
Why don't you chefs try to built in a other way. So why don't you start with the fastest and most stable ROM ever, and then one by one try to add the functionality that we are now used, till you see that the ROM starts getting slower.
On my Diamond I've got a ROM that is based on WM6.1, and runs Sense 2.1. This ROM is much faster than the original stock ROM for the Diamond. In speed and functionality this ROM can really compete with the speed of an iPhone.
Why not do the same for the HD? Why not trying WM6.1+Sense 2.1 and add the tools we are used in the latest ROM's? Or perhaps WM6.5+TF3D?
The must be a lot of way to do this, but the goal is to start with the fastest and most stable ROM, and than adding new stuff. Instead of the other way, like almost every Chef is doing on this forum.
If I could build ROM's, I really would have started this, but I don't have the knowledge of doing this.
I Hope a Chef can pick this one up!

A lot of chefs like to try and use the latest builds and with new builds appearing all the time, the time to do as you wish becomes less. A few chefs have created roms using wm6.1 & manila 2.1 but this is becoming less often as wm6.1 is seen my a lot of people as a dying format especially with wm7 soon being released for mobiles. Also there is compatibility issues with some apps and wm6.1 as most are now designed for wm6.5
there is topix anyway. wm6.1 tweaked to the max

blackstone will never be really fluid, like for example a iPhone because it runs windows mobile 6.1, or even worse, 6.5, which requires more juice than the processor is able to provide.
my guess is that cooks cook roms to there personal taste(i know i do)
and wm6.5 has reached a lvl that it is verry usable for daily use
thats why i think there isnt to much 6.1 cooked anymore
Hi Guys,
Don't get me wrong, I do like the latest builds. As a matter of fact, I always used the latest versions, because I like all the features that has been introduced in WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Because I've experienced that the latest ROM's really use a lot of power of the HD, (resulting in unstable performance and fast battery drainage), I was looking for a ROM with Manila that was as fast as the Stock ROM, but had the features of the latest builds.
After a while I concluded that WM6.5 combined with the latest Sense is too heavy to get fluid performance like the stock ROM. (allthough Miniterror's ROM is very good, I'm using his ROM for over a month now!).
That's why I suggested a few options, like WM6.1 with Sense 2.5, or WM6.5 with TF3D2.1 or anything else. Just to get fastest and most fluid ROM.
I found a ROM that perhaps answers my questions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679670
I will try this one and give some feedback.

What would you say is the best rom?

Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
the clean rom ist the best and the fastest rom on xda.
the top version is better than the bottom version.
==> try clean rom top version 1

BlackNew V
I really like BlackNew ROMs. I tried Energy ROMs, both on my Diamond and current Blackstone. They are pretty and full of apps, but slows down the machine a lot. And for speed and functionality is top priority
With BlackNew ROMs you get speed and some usefull apps
are the mods on holiday? they normally close these threads because they can be so contentious
Yep cant be long before the padlock cometh...We're not allowed to have a discussion about who likes which rom & why on here You've got to spend hours and hours, days and days trying them all yourself and going with the one you like, but remember not to post to tell anyone..

The mods will soon type something into this thread along with this line: "thread closed"
Maybe the Mods have realized that you can't close down these types of questions, hence another one will always pop up! These forums by nature produce these comparisons, so in effect they are the root cause. Can you condemn something that you are responsible for?
I love Energy Roms...I always come back to these. They just are "eye candy", and have all the features and personalization ideas that I love...but they are really designed for the HD2 which makes them "fat" on our HD units...Eg... they are 220+ MB for a ROM footprint compared to 168MB for a KWBR rom footprint. Hence the downside to me is they are generally more sluggish COMPARED to others...but they get faster as NRG keeps cooking.
KWBR's rom is quicker, but would love to see some eye candy enhancements.
Miniterror's roms are awesome...but would love to see CHT back in.
Have not tried many of the others as these guys keep producing too much quality to send me elsewhere..
I tried Kenia's BLack V, and that was awesome!! But just could not got back to the 6.1 OS...but he did a super job blending new age enhancements with the stability and speed of the older systems.
Thanks cooks

J
I don't see the problem with other people's opinion it's like feed back in one place instead of going through each thread on the ROM have one thread with feed back for all the ROM's in one place. Just an idea..
the reason why they get closed is that everybody has a different look of how a rom should lok like and what should be included in the rom
as it are opinions there cant be decided whats the best rom
also benchmarking wont be the answer as i have read that you can set some thing that the rom becomes verry slow but benchmark scores mega high that it should be the best rom
so for me the best rom is my own
i like the colors that are in and the programs and the fact its dutch
some others could like nrg rom more as they like those colors or the startmenu at the bottom builds
it all comes down to you what you want
maybe on a side note somebody can make a spreadsheet off the roms out here with the functions the roms have like startmenu at the bottom or on top
colors or default look and stuff like that
best ..
.. is your own ROM ..
My best: Blackdragon 3 Final
I tried them all, but with a windows phone speed and stability should be top priority. You can always customise your phone to your requirements. So I vote for blackdragon by Andy, as my best rom; mainly becasue of its incredible speed and stability.
I've tried most ROMs and became a bit of an NRG fan but I think there are too many changes for me to keep up with these days. It's great to try many ROMs and see what nice toys there are and also which areas of stability you need.
Been using G10's Evo v6.00 (24001) 30.06.10 for a couple of weeks and have to say I love it. Battery and connection (UK) as well as GPS for TomTom is great so I'm sticking with this for a bit.
I'm sure some great new feature or app will tempt me to try something else in the future though.
Just flash a couple a week until you get bored (by then you'll know exactly what you want) would be my best advice
Hi there,
I my opinion these are the best 3 options:
1: [ROM][WWE][10-Jul-10] Cloudy 0.4 (WM6.1)
It's one of the fastest roms on this forum but has all the features you want. It's no "clean"rom or anything like that. I see this rom as one of the "jewels" around here. I did not detect 1 bug or glitch or anything like that while using this rom for a week now.
2: Try KWBR's rom. I am a big fan of his work and his roms are usually the most stable and also very fast.
3: Go with a wm6.5 titanium rom and if you like buy spb mobile shell and customize it the way you want. I belive ram usages will go up to around 50% while using spb so you are probably not as fast as option 1 or 2.
Good hunting!
i would say again there is no such thing best rom...
read the sticky dude...
every chef has different goal on their rom release
exp
- want clean roms for fast performance ( i prefer clean rom ... )
- want stable rom less bug ( for stable i prefer stock rom )
- want best look for lastest rom release ( WM 6.5 com 5 built )
I think jude1993 just wanted people's opinion to what they liked or disliked about the ROM's. I am intrested aswell. What is the best ROM is the wrong title for this thread though, Maybe it should say your opinion of the ROM's. Just an idea
I've tried loads of different roms too....Gets very tedious Loading all your programs n contacts n messages etc..
This weekend I've tried most of NRG's latest offerings, but dear god they are slow. For me anyway I use my phone for work, not to look trendy, but to run fast, stable & smooth.
I've come from Onkologs stable of roms, so its been tricky to find a modern comparison...And I much prefer 6.5 to 6.1, but not the latest bottom button builds.
For me the fastest most stable clean rom I have come across and go back to each and every time is....
Energy.BLACKSTONE.21895.Titanium.Mar.17
Needs a bit of tweaking here n there but have not found anything to touch it for speed/fluidity/stability.
Just my opinion
Mick
this is very interesting
as i've been trying out WWE 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5sth(at least 30+ times of flashing)...i'd say i eventually chose WWE 6.1 Lite Rom. The reason why to my choice is more speed, more rom capacity, and ram usage. Well, actually most cookers here did very good job as theirs roms are stable, compatiable and fast in general, appreciated! Without considering eye candy interface, WWE 6.1 is the most fastest rom compare to WWE 6.5 or up...
All in all, there's always sth i think which hardly get solved is language patch problem. Ok say like i am chinese, hk...my rom is WWE 6.1, i'd spent some certain time trying out chinese patch which i needed to read and write chinese...some cabs installed that could read and write in chinese but then while some app running that easy to get device "hang", some apps couldn't display chinese characters properly...this is i what found so far an unresolved issue...would you agree...?
thanks
cheerz
over the past 3 days i have flashed about 5 roms Im currently trying miniterror ,but i find my self wanting to go back to the energy roms more for the eye candy
before it used to be duttys roms but now im neither here or there.
But always gravitating towards Energy the Maryone roms I have tried so many times and they always feel too slow and sluggish ...

Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try CLoudy 2.2 COM5 or COM2... for me, this is the best ROM ever had. no issues with this ROM. retain more stock ROM... not very much added application or programmes for optimal speed
okay if there is no best rom ,, i need the fastest rom with out bugs ???
can i get this
