hello all
can anyone recommend a rom using wm 6.5 that i can install max manilla 2.5 on. I also like the original one for its uses like word excel texting etc
many thanks jez
Before this thread gets closed, as asking for an opinion on roms is going to give you 20 different suggestions. Try a few yourself and see what suits you. As explained in the max manila thread it does work on most roms (with the exception of Energy roms for now, but the next version will apparently work).
You will need to read this thread before flashing however.
cheers ClydeB1 I will give a few roms a try
once again thanks for your help. jez
My pleasure. As I said, ensure you read the Dummies Guide, it gives step by step procedures on how to flash. If you have any questions regarding how to flash etc, ask them there - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
I see ClydeB1 has responded to you already so eloquently.
The reason why recommendations or opinionated threads are frowned upon in XDA is that every has a different opinions, tastes or they have loyalties to the chefs they use most often. This creates endless long threads and for these reasons I am closing this thread.
Best advice as mentioned already by ClydeB1 is to try a few roms and come to your own conclusion

I'm new here and i first got the tilt, and i was talking to an ATT employer and he was telling me about the xda developers. so i check it out and so far its awesome but the problem is...I cant firgure out how to do this. so CAN anyone guide me step to step by doing the tilt personalization??? i would greatly appericated it and is it free?...
Hi and welcome.
This site is completely free as is all the ROMs and programs created (with the exception of a few unlockers).
It depends what type of personalisation your after...
Replacing the ATT ROM with a "Cooked" ROM?
-Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Kaiser for more information and the Sticky posts.
Installing new Applications?
-Just download them, copy to your device and install them.
Changing the theme?
-Each theme varies and has usually has dependecies on other software. All I can say is Read.
My best advice is to read other peoples guide's and other peoples common questions and things will fall into place.

Hi firstly I would like to apologise, I have read through many topics on these forums, tried the search and in the process and found out many useful tips for my phone, yet I'm still somewhat nervous about which versions/radio etc. I should install.
I have a HTC Touch HD on Orange UK, it is my primary phone and I would be somewhat distraught if I were to break it.
Would someone recommend which version I should use and a link to a good beginners guide. I really think the news Windows Mobile 6.5 has reached the masses as it were and it would be good to have a tutorial that was user friendly for those that have not flashed devices before.
Thank you for reading
Ross W-S
there's a ton of topped threads, read them.
specifically read the one on how to flash a rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
after that choose a rom, download it and follow the instructions.
Seriously, I envy all of you experts here! Would make a mobile life more easy ;-)
I like to try another ROM. I've read the tutorial, which makes flashing sound quite easy, and I've seen quite some custom made ROMs fly by here. Point is, I really don't know which one to try.
Currently I have a BLAC100 device, SPL-1.14 with the default ROM.
I'd like to have a stable ROM with everything up-to-date (a 1.56+ based rom I guess). Well, "everything", I was thinking of drivers and WM6.5 at least.
I've been searching here for more info which could help me decide, but I can't find any more information.
Could someone point me in the right direction? So I can manage for myself further on?
Tanks in advance
what has that to do with Rom Development ?
Just flash one, Dutty, Miri whatever
no fear my frind... hust try one of the latest miri, maryone und dutty's roms... they are alll very good.
I use the latest maryone with 23502-build and it works fine
If you have lots of time and a fast internet connection, go ahead and download and flash all of em.
I suggest those made by NRGZ though.. the Energy ROMS.
maybe xannytech roms because enrgyroms are full of bugs
but try by yourself and compare ,its the best way to find out wich rom is the best for YOU

just make sure you follow the tutorials, dummyguides step by step, and you will be alright, my opinion is Xannytechs rom are fast, stable and bugfree the only issues there are htc related so to speak. You want as close to stock rom byut still modified, try duttys, you want fancy look? try energys, and miri will always bring the flasher to a happy state of contentment its all a matter of what you want and need, some roms you gonna flash away after two hours, while others praise that one from morning til night.
so you have to test, download three four roms, try one out for a day or two, test next, and then you will be hooked for life
I feel that Miri and NRGZ had the best roms earlier, but lately Ive been using Xannytech. Less bugs with Xannytech roms.
I don't think opinion based threads are allowed on XDA-developers...
As hmmhmm1222 says, read well the tutorials and the dummy's guide.
There's a sticky benchmark thread for Blackstone ROMs take a look there to see how ROMs compare.
As for me, I look at the first page of a ROM thread for a description of the ROM and then the last couple of pages to see what issues people are having.
Ask 20 people what's the best ROM and you'll get 15 answers
Flash a couple and see what suits you.
Happy flashing - it's addictive

Thanks a lot for your replies! I have a clear idea where now to go from here.
I've always liked playing with different linux distributions, tweaking it all to the maximum and testing different lay-outs.
I'm not familiar yet with flashing my mobile, but I'm catching up by reading the wiki and tutorials, an amazing source of help really!
As long as you follow the tutorials you'll be fuine. Just take the plunge and flash one of the latest roms from one of the most popular chef's and you'll be fine, i.e. Duttythroy, Miri, NRG, PhamQuang, Maryone (Hellonasty) etc etc

It often is the latest stable software in the ROMs. And another thing.. It's better if you try some roms out. Its not so popular around here to ask about a god rom. It's a matter of taste and so on. Not so nice to other chefs if i, or any one else recommend a specific rom.
Check the thread about how to flash HSPL and just go nuts flashing and testing. Good luck!
Admin, please close.
Before anyone creates a new thread, the basic requirements for common decency would be to read the wiki, forum rules and use the 'search' function.
Now I understand that you are new, but your question(s) have been asked many times before.
FYI, a dummies guide thread exists for flashing. Also to ask an opinionated query is frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion. Best advice would be to read first few posts in each rom thread as this generally lists whats in each rom as well as providing a few screenshots of said rom. Then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on whats best for you

2. It's advisable to flash back to stock. You can use my program for this. LINK

i think he intended to direct you to the second post in that thread (which must have fell under the 10% of that thread that you didn't read..sorry couldn't resist a friendly flame) as you are posting your question in the wrong part of the forum.
Rules for posting in Android Development
* If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
* It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
* Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
* If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
* Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
* If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
* Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
* If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
* So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

You should probably familiarize yourself with this as well or your setting yourself up for endless flaming and frustration:
REF] New to XDA? Questions about flashing ROMs? Please read this before posting!
Lately I have seen so many "what rom is best for my first flash" or "Help me decide what rom is best for me" threads and they are POINTLESS! Granted there are an abundance of new and old custom roms, everyone has different experiences and opinions on what rom is best.
So... NOOBS:
If you want to know what rom is best for YOU do the following:
- Go to the Android Development Section and read through different [ROM] threads to see what features will work best for you. I have also found it useful to read through the last couple of pages to see what other users think about the current version of the rom.
- If you don't know what certain terms in the rom thread mean or affect (ie. kernel, modem, OC/UV, Gps tweaks) locate the search bar in the top right corner of the page or browse through this page
- Once you have decided what rom you want to try out, you need to learn how to flash the rom. Most of the Developers post instructions but they can be confusing to some of the less experienced flashers. nbs11 has posted a thread about how to do this here and Connexion2005 was nice enough to make videos of the general steps: Flashing back to stock using odin3 , 3 Part video series for flashing roms: video 1 , video 2 , video 3
- Now that you know how to choose and flash a rom just try out different roms until you find one that you like and gives you all the features you are looking for.
- If you find the theme of a certain rom ugly or obnoxious, head over to the Captivate themes and apps section and look through different [THEME] threads until you find one that you like. Make sure the theme is compatible with the rom you have just flashed or are planning to flash.
- If you accidentally brick your phone, read How to unbrick the captivate or if that doesn't work, Unbrick the captivate for only $0.99
-Some useful links other members have posted:
One-Click Root - root your captivate in one click!
Build #1010 or above flash back to stock
My hopes of this thread are to save the Captivate general section from becoming a section full of useless threads. So if you are new, please use these steps and do the research to find a Rom that is right for YOU!
Cheers,
Alex
*EDIT* As it seems swedishcancerboi is having a hard time using the search function, here are some simple tips to make your searching easier. If you think there is already a thread that has been created containing the information you desire, under "Search by keyword", try changing the drop down box to "Search titles only". Also, try changing the "sort results by" drop down box to "Relevancy". If that still doesn't work do a google search of "xda (whatever you are looking for)" without the quotes.

Nike - Greek word for victory. Also known as a popular brand of shoes.
Nike... Just do it...
Battery life?
Paragon for me on my particular phone
Graphics/animations? Dunno, not into too much eye candy, but there are themes galore available
I always ODIN to stock before I flash a ROM (Haven't tried the AIO yet, but looks interesting)
As for the Darky issue. Flash back to stock and start over.
You have to expect redirection when you're posting in the wrong forum.

Thank you Capitan Obvious.
I recommend Serendipidity with the Suckerpunch kernal. I've gotten great battery life with that combo also you can some cool animations to add to Serendipidity from the Serendipidity website. And when changing between completely different roms I usaully flash back to stock and do a master reset with odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
i recommend you build a jig or buy one online just in case, since you want to use custom rom.

Duck and grind HighSun, duck and grind.
If you're still in the look-see stage as far as ROMs, there are a few that are well worth trying.
Paragon (my fav)
Serendipity
di11i's
Firebird (under new management so to speak)
That's my order of excellence but don't take my word for it. Flash what you like from reading whats offered and have fun. Follow the steps listed in each and you shouldn't have any issues. While not necessary to ODIN to stock, it's a good idea to get used to it in case you bork your phone and need to exchange it.
The best battery life i have gotten is with darky's 9.2 rom.
