Hi, I have seen poeople on here ask time and time again "which is the best ROM" which for me is a pointless subjective question. However I would like to ask something similar. I have been trying 6.5 ROMS for a while now based on the 6.5.3 build (start button at the bottom). All roms I have tried have had the faults, not one has been 100% yet.
I dont want loads of apps and tweaks really, nothing fancy, all I want is a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should. I dont need eye candy or invisible this or that, just a ROM as if it came out as a stock 6.5 HD rom.
Is there such a ROM I wonder?

1. There is no stock WM6.5 ROM for HD
2. If you want stock ROM, you can use stock ROM, all other ROMs are tweaked ROMs according to Chief's taste. Almost everybody wants newest stuff, so Chiefs are making ROMs with newest builds so it's logical that in every ROM there are some bugs. If you want some fastest and most bug-free ROM I suggest you to use something based on WM6.1 or even stock ROM if you really want "a fast stable ROM where all the basic stuff works as it should"

If your looking for a wm6.5 rom close to stock, then you should try Miri's, very little done to it
hi, i've used EnergyROM for ages, but realized that is not for me. Most people say that energy rom is the top - ideal ROM.
yes, the ROM was good, but after some months i realized that i need someting more proffesional - not a fancy eye candy rom with lot of apps. i must flash the new energy rom circa once a month, because of laggs.
so, i tried Miri ROM and i can say that is the best ROM i've ever tried. Pretty clean, like normal windowz, without frickin effects... i don't flash every month because is very quick (still is, with a month old build)
Miri ROM, nothing more

I 've been moved to another device last year, and my old-good hima needs a stable-good and (if there is) vanilla wm6.1 rom.
I 'm hearing your suggestions.
Thank you.
All ROMs on this forum are stable. For WM6.1, u can try any ROM based on build 19213 or 20262. I myself use the sun_dream ROM based on build 20262.
bump!
Can you also suggest of WM6.1 ROMS that are quite clean (like Tof_clock's 6.0 ROM). By clean I mean one that's pretty much the real 6.1 with only the pure useless features removed, and that's only added with really vital add-ons, not too many customizations done by the cooks that will make you feel "OMG this feels like someone else's PocketPC". Something very similar to Tof_clock's. I really love that ROM
Thank you.

If you can show me a device manufacturer that sells uncustomized ROMs on their devices you will very soon find a clean ROM here. Until then, it is likely the ROMs here will resemble the device they were ported from.
What would be the best most stable winmobile 6.5 rom out there for the X1? Im looking for something that is speedy, not bloated with apps i wont use, and stable. There are just way way to many roms out there and i dont want to try them all..
cheers
Nobody knows what apps you would or wouldn't use...
Try a clean rom if you want to manually install the apps.

try Agent_47 or NRG rom with manila2.1 or simple titanium
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
my experience says Jack's is the most stable and among the fastest. his lite version is also the smallest.
Touch-IT Xperience 14.1.2 try this one...definitely a keepers
Energy ROM's are so far the best as per my testing. I have tested valkyrie, itje and energy.
WildChild's ROM is the most stable if you want a non-bloated upgrade from 6.1 to 6.5.
I have been using that for a while now and it works fine.
IMHO. The best rom is try to cook your own.
Once again, im a little confused...i have a brand new X1..am thinnking what should I do...
should i upgrade to WM 6.5..(I dont want a cooked ROM, iwant an official 6.5 OS that i can install, upgrade, like we do when we go to Vista to Win7 etc.
BTW: Can u provide me a link for an unofficial but clean OS)
OR
Should I go on installing a cab of a TouchFlo3d
OR
Flash my X1 with a cooked ROM (still cant understand which one)
Thanx a lot..
Personally if your even contemplating flashing your X1, you might as well go with one of the 6.5 builds, they are far superior in My Opinion to the 6.1
there are several good ones out there, so its personla choice as to which you use, I guess it depends on Features cooked in, applications, battery life, stability etc.
Flash Cooked ROM with 6.5. Recent ones are very fast due to having better drivers support as opposed to stock roms
Cab of TF3D won't be optimized.. would be sluggish
alrite i agre with what you are saying cykalu, but then again, these cooked ROMs wont be originals rite? and not only that, are they all BETA or full and final ROMs??
Just wanted to know...

They won't be original but Sony Ericsson decided not to give X1 users the latest (6.5) updates. Therefore all cooked 6.5 roms are much better than original because the chefs has included and tweaked around with X2's drivers so X1 can use them which are more optimized than SE's stuff.
Beta or no Beta, as long as they work it's good. look at Windows 7 RC2, it's beta but it was basically the final after a few minor patches..
If you aren't a user who likes fiddling with your device I recommend you stick with stock ROMs. Cooked ROMs usually have bugs which range from minor to game-ending (e.g. the reset bug that seems to exist in every cooked ROM).
Personally I'm not a fan of Touchflo (especially the Leo version), it makes the inconsistent WM interface even more inconsistent.
If you really want WM6.5, flash gtrab's 5.07 ROM and install the X2 cabs from the themes and applications forum. It'll be as close as you can get to a WM6.5 ROM upgrade. There are only two bugs with this ROM that I've found, one of which is fixed by installing the X2 dialer (the other one is the reset bug that every ROM seems to have). Just sync with MS My Phone or something to minimise the impact.

I know exactly how you feel about modifying your new xperia...I was like this one month ago...My xperia is only 3 months old so I was little nervous....So I went through all the flashing tutorials in here and also downloaded BioVolt's video tutorials...And one month back I flashed my xperia for the first time...I flashed it with the Xperia Unoffcial release ROM, I did all the steps exactly as it was mentioned in the tutorials and my xperia was flashed successfully...but after that I tried to do the hard reset, I wasnt able to do hard reset twice...I thought I bricked my phone ....i was little panic...I once again went through the tutorials and done it third time...This time I was able to do a hard reset successfully and my phone booted up with the new Unofficial Xperia 6.5...after that I flashed 2 or 3 ROMs and finally sticked up with Sonblack's SB20 release which I found to be stable,fast and attractive with its touchflow manila interface...I dint had any weird experience with this one...
Im sorry for posing this question, im not trying to pollute this forum or anything. Ive been doing some searching but i couldn't find a rom that i like. This is my first time trying to flash new rom.
Im looking for a 6.5.1 lite rom with titanium and maybe the latest version of touchflo or sense!
Can anybody point me to such rom or a similar one? thanks
Hallo There
After few months of trial and error ,i think i have tried all the ROMs overhere..but only 2 days back i have found this ..it's excellent..fast, stable, showing the real pwoer of your X1. Give it a try..highly recommende by my self ..
ROM with real 6.5 XIP (SYS 21874 / EXT 21874) Rhodium shipped rom port / Manila_2_1_19201317_0
Rhodium ROM Port Manila 2.1
her's the link

Hopefully you would like it.
Have a good day.
If you prefer WM 6.5.3 like I do Christian's ROM seems to be most stable plus has the Original Xperia X1 dialer which is my preferred dialer as it has better logs and dialing is so much easier.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542664
If 6.5.1 is ok both spikegotti and gtrab have excellent stable ROMs.
[100% CLEAN WM6.5][2009-11-30] ***Xperia UnOff Series - Infinite & Xperia X1.5***
[ROM] PURE Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for the SE XPERIA X1 [26 NOV 09 | SEX1 R5.07]
There are other good ROM's like Energy and Valkyrie FireStorm but somehow I could not get them to be stable for even a day after customizing with Titanium Plugins and Themes.
I prefer two Titanium Themes
WM 6.5 Titanium Theme "Bliss"
WM 7 Titanium Project
Of course, there are probably several more good ROMs but you really have to try them out. For example, I like how the fonts, email, etc look in one ROM but don't like the dialer or it's some other features I love but there is one feature I hate, etc. Play with them all. In the end you will find the most stable one that is close to your liking and will have to settle with it even though there is something better in another ROM .
Thanks for replying so fast, i will give your recommended roms a go.
Xda people are really good
Wow, this topic has simply answered my doubts and questions on which is the suitable ROM for me to use.. I've tried a few version like Touch-IT, Valkyrie, and EnergyROM those eye catchy ROM.. it's really pretty but it's way too lag for a fast user like me.. no patience left to wait for 3-4 seconds to read/create a message!
Ooh ooh i have another question. Do i have to back up my stock rom? I dont think ill need it later.

You can download stock ROM from one of the thread in the sticky here. So, not needed.

Thanks meniawy, I found this rom very stable and trendy.. met my needs and requirements Cheerz and kudos to you
All-
I am looking for a ROM suggestion. This forum is a little overwhelming to a noob like me. Based on the following, what do you recommend?
- Tilt 2
- Latest version of WinMo 6.5.x
- I prefer the Titanium or similar interface (I like lean and mean so don't like Sense or TouchFlo)
- Would like to try Swype (I NEVER use the slide-out keyboard)
- AT&T in the US
Is there a ROM with an easy install?

Energy ROM has a Titanium version in either the 91xx (close button and start button on top), or 93xx (close button and start button on the bottom). This ROM does not contain Sense in any version.
The only "easy" ROMs are the ones from AT&T (for you). All others are about the same difficulty - flash the Hard SPL, then flash the ROM of your choice. Takes about 30 minutes to flash.
What ROM is right for you depends on what apps and other features you want cooked into the ROM. But I second the vote for Energy's ROMs. I like Sense, and flashed that Energy ROM, but I'm sure the Titanium is just as good. Based on what I've read on these forums, you can't really go wrong with Energy's ROMs. He does great work.
I've also just done my first ROM flash on a the ATT Tilt2 version of the TP2. The Energy ROM is smooth, fast and stable (much better than the stock), and I've had no real issues to speak of yet. Flashing is not hard. Just follow the n00b instructions carefully, and do some reading before you flash. Also, using Task29 after HardSPL, and before you flash the ROM is highly recommended.
Question Answered. NRG also provides ATT settings, check the ROM thread.
Closed.
