it's just my own personal choice buddy!

10, 9, 8 ......
Countdown to this thread being locked. These types of questions go nowhere. Everyone has their own opinions. Try one and see for yourself. If you do not like it go back. For me to tell you it's "great this" and "fantastic that" does not prove anything as the next person may say it is terrible and 6.1 is best blah blah blah. So how does that help you to decide?

I want to say only one thing - I agree with ClydeB1, YOU HAVE TO TRY. Yes, WM 6.5 with Sence 2.5 seems to be slower than WM6.1, HOWEVER it gives you many new and nice features etc...

Hello!
Mmm...this kind of questions/answers is very ambiguous.
"One-man's-meat-is-another-man's-poison"...so to each...his own...LOL.

Think above posts have said enough on this matter. Its a personal preference. Just try yourself and make your own decision.

my guess is he eats microSDHC cards for breakfast...
Just an educated guess tho
I think itje do more job in one week, than all microsoft team (who creates windows mobile) in one month
A big respect for him.
LOL if I remember seeing correctly, itje had to take the rom down because of MS copyright or just complaints...Still looking forward to it tho man
No offence, but I'd rather Itje perfected Touch-IT Landscape v4.0 first.
Once that's been tweaked to his satisfaction, and he's had time to catch up with his life, THEN it may be worth asking him if he'll do a ROM based on WM6.5. Personally, I think I'll be happier with a streamlined TouchFlo3D interface than the honeycomb and today screen WM6.5 uses.
I am NOT working on a release to any 6.5 at this rom at the moment.
My only priority now is v4...
I did cook it for personal review, but it is still not worth the effort on posting it.
I will neither respond to any PM or email from ppl wanting to test it.
itje....close this post. And the users of this forum will not confuse...

so u saying it makes not sence to try it yet?
That's exactly what he's saying.
Right now, everyone is using unofficial beta releases of WM6.5 to try it out and it isn't exactly ready for everyday use YET. That's also why MS has been asking XDA-Dev to close threads relating to WM6.5 ROMs.
If you hold fire for a few months, you may find that HTC and other manufacturers may update their phone's ROMs towards the end of the year.

How can we know what will dissapoint you? Just try it, and if you don't like, choose another rom.
The time you have wasted creating this thread could be used better .
**** THE **** is with you people!!!! I am not asking you to read the threads and decide!!!
I JUST WISH Y'ALL TO GIVE ME YOUR OPINION ABOUT WM 6.5 ROM
Almost the new WM6.5 roms are equal...
So feel free to try one of the latest ones.
Its hard people say that "x" or "y" is the better one. I respect the coockers at XDA and so i refuse to say wich one to choose. So all i can say is to get one of the latest you find around.. they´re all almost the same thing in terms of speed and stability.
Or in other hand... you can always wait for the real one

I Agree wis kristaps, im also very confused, bout which ROM is better!

then just do not reply...
I mean comn, the gus is aksing a normal question!
Why are you all being so agressive!
i talk for myself. Im not beeing agressive... but why not just try one of the latest ones? Who am i to say that "x" or "y" is better?
They´re almost the same thing.. just pick one

I am thinking about Miri WM 6.5 21198 :: V 5.2 --- but its just because that rom has been around for the longest time and all the bugs should be worked out!!!!
But maybe I am wrong about those bugs!!!!
it drives me nuts when someone responds to these types of questions with **** like "LoL LERN TO READ"... or which is akin to "how about reading through the 2000+ posts on each rom to try to decipher whether or not it may or may not work the way you want it to, when in reality it would take me the same amount of time to type a valid response like [Hey, i use the so and so 6.5 rom and it works great for me, its fast, responsive, etc]... "
for jesus sake just answer the question or ignore the thread. I get my touch HD today, so i don't have any good advice, but i'm asking the same question this guy is. I don't have the time to browse through 65 pages of posts on each rom to find out the +/-

Well atleast Im not the only one!!!!!
Oh and congratulations on your new device!!!!
I would suggest miri's 6.5 ROM since thats the only one I have tested and felt it was fast and stable enough for the daily use.
I also like Davide's and HelloNasty cooking... but I have not flased their 6.5 ROMs lately.. so cannot comment on 'em.
Having said the above, I would also say, you cannot escape away from reading thorugh the threads... No one in the right mind would go thorugh every page of the 100 odd pages of the thread. You would usually browse through the last 5 or 10 pages to see what are the issues that are being discussed. Chefs release versions regulary fixing the problems. So it would make no sense reading about problems from earlier versions of the ROM that you have flashed. Especially the chef like "miri" released a ROM version almost every day... In fact he even released 2 version within 24 hrs.
So, flash any one of the latest versions of the ROMs by reading through the last few pages of the thread.
Hello everyone !
I agree with both of your comments.
As the firsts post said, sometimes you can't decide wich rom is better (cuz obviously there isn't).
You can't also say "oh that cooker suck" cuz i think even the worst cooker put 100000x more time, love anb contribution to this awesome comunity than people who send those kind of ugly remarks. I'm so impressed by rom cookers.
Secondly, it also depends of your daily uses, for instance i love fast and stable rom with nothing in it (like dutty's one) but some ppl like to have ton's of usefull apps ....
So yeah okay, you have to spend some time reading the board but it's not easy when you work 10h+ a day like me.
But on the other hand, it can always be appreciate when people who have time to test roms to give +/- advices.
For instance i'm reading posts speaking of 6.5 i'm very tempted but i have some questions :
- is it as fast as some dutty's rom for example (i'm saying dutty i only tryed his rom and love it)
- is it user friendly as manila ?
- will i be desapointed ?
It's also a pain when you have to read 207 pages of comments to know where to go, especially when comment's are "I installed this uber app of the death but it's not working with this rom gimme a fix" or "gogo change this icon i don't like it".
so ok tommorow i'll spend 1h to flash and test a 6.5 rom made by all those pro cookers but if i have 2/3 clues about wich one to pick or even if it's not necessary to try because 6.5 will not be as fast as 6.1 I think it can be always helpfull to have answers to those kind of questions.
But okay if noone have some precise advices i'll spend another hour or two to read all 6.5 rom posts it is just always nice and kind to help those in needs (i didn't said respond to very stupid questions of ppl who don't want to search 3sec about "how can i change my wallpaper" or "how can i make a call my provider is orange bla bla bla")
I'm glad when I see this kind of community and when everyone share his wisdom, please let's keep the same spirit.
See ya around,
Veskit
Both Mirri and HelloNasty are ok, Mirri has app. one to two frezze per day, is better concerning battery lenght, has nice dialer, but when going from messages to home freezez.
Nasty has a lot more applications, almost no need to install anything extra, but also freezez from time to time and aets battery like crazy.
PhamQuang is nice, but more for manilla oriented, and not working to good with lock app.
All together it's still raw beta and not ready for everyday / primetime.
Still very promising
hope this helps You
Like everyone else said, there are a fair few WM 6.5 ROM's try reading about them, see what bugs they have, see what fixes have been cooked in, etc. etc.
Thanks
Dave

** Question for blackstone cooks from another cook ***

Do you guys communicate with each other ? I'd like to communicate with other blackstone cooks to share some of the knowledge and hopefully make better ROMs for the userbase here. I can be reached on the three IM networks in my profile
p.s. Here's a start... Anybody know how to get the newer "HTC Message Enhancenent" package to actually work in outlook by skinning the "to:" fields....inserting the green call icon.. etc ? I can't get mine to FULLY work.
p.s. here is a hint
runCC
will solve alot of issues for many with issues on the new topaz/rhodium..
hallelujah!
i can't believe it! this must be the one of the greatest things that happened here since the first hspl! there is hope! the chefs are going to openly communicate
going to check out on this thread and hope am i not too optimistic
this have to be a sticky!!
lol, then have a look at X1 part of the forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490543
I think EnergyROM 1.0 HD Series roms are really good, it is almost perfect,but if this problem about the EnergyROM HD 90409 can be fixed, that can be even better.
First is about the clock, it seems sometime the clock can not be delete as you set it on 9:00 am,than it work well, but when you change it to some other time, like 10:00 am, it will ring both 9 and 10, even you didn't open the alarm, the old setting didn't be delete.
Another problem is about the tf3D music player stutter, it is a old problem but I just find some points about it recently. One, the old manila never got this happen; two, one off the L26 rom with the same new manila don't have this problem; three, wm6.5 with same new manila also never have this problem; and four, after you do some registry editting to the audiomanager_Eng, it well be fix for a time. Now I'm still seach for the reason and try to fix it.
After all, you works are really great, it is almost the best rom I have seem, thank you. You are the best!

Well, the cooking class is ment to teach newbies how to cook. What *I* had in mind is a communication between seasoned chefs, in order to share knowledge and cook better ROMs.

somebody should start a poll of the most recent ROMs.. (a leaderboard for the ROM chefs!! ??)
personally i tend to flit between NRG28's Energy ROM and Duttys winmo6.5
i find NRG's much prettier and dutty's much smoother
i left 6.1 ROMs some while ago now however i have to admit i have yet to experience a 6.5 ROM that can offer the same speed and performance of a 6.1 ROM.
I just got too used to the extra little bits winmo 6.5 offers.
so... my money would be on dutty if you plan to use your own UI such as PointUI WAD2 or MS3
or if you like TF3D then go for NRGs ROMs they look fantastic (and they are not far removed from Duttys in terms of performance)

no, i think u should read forum's rules before posting this topic.
pretty much agree with purecode.
6.5 looks just that little bit better, but is not as fast as a 6.1 ROM. personally, I generally use Topix (6.1) for the speed (unbelievably fast), athough dutty's latest 6.5 is catching up. i don't think theres enough in 6.5 to warrant the loss of speed, thus i sometimes flash a 6.5 ROM but always end up going back to topix for the speed.
i think the real 'killer app' will be when/if manila 2.5 can be incorporated into a ROM. i think this will temp me to switch to 6.5 permanently, rather than just having a play with it every now and again.

This has been posted many times before and closed by mod's due to the fact that its an opinionated question. Everyone has different likes and dislikes so their opinions will be different. This just creates long endless threads and is then banned and threads closed by mods.
This thread had already been created which has benchmarks

I have to close this thread as this is like n0. 76 if I'm still counting, best to test which roms is suitable for u, is to flash amongst differnet roms until u find ur favourite, als oeach roms come with different stuff insde.

what about WinMo 6.7???

Amidst the hype of Win7Mo, are we forgetting the 6.7 Build somewhere??
THe chances of using Win7Mo on X1 look slim, So i thought why not use the next best OS..
Also, can't we update the CE of X1...just asking, i don't know the technicality...

Circle': The general thought is that Microsoft has a two-tiered strategy: WM7 for the masses, but still supporting WM 6.x for business-type users. I suspect that we will continue to see WM 6.x and above ROMs leaked here. My guess is that MS will continue to polish the UI and increase finger friendliness.

@thread starter: I don't get your message. There wont be any cooked winMo 7 for x1, thats for sure. And right now we're not doing anything else than you suggested: using the most up to date wm 6.5 (6.6 - 6.7). What about it?

Supporting WM6.x does not mean continued development. Support in the sense that MS supported XP after Vista. <insert Vista Rant in another thread>
Let's consider Windows Mobile out to pasture. It was fun while it lasted, but now it's time to move on. If they could make WM any more modern they would have done so by now.
