Hello folks,
I appriciate the hard work of all the chiefs. The Roms a most of the time close to perfect.
But, since they are usually customized by the chiefs, they are not 100 % that what I am looking for.
This is why am asking now, if one of chiefs could just bring out a pure windows mobile 6.5.3. update with only the basic stuff in it.
This might be an idea for the other windows versions as well, as some people prefer 6.5.or 6.1 versions.
I thank you folks in advance, if someone eventualy comes up with that rom.
Cheers
Jens
100% pure would mean the camera would not work
the optical "joystick" would not work and the led's would not work
everything that x1 got that is not "normal" wm is a customisation
Well,
let me then adjust:
It would be nice, ifit is a rom as pure as possible, with all the basic features as there is the camera, joystick, led etc.
It should not have other software , like panels, widgets, themes etc.
This would be me request.
OR, if possible, having a software, that would allow me to delete all the precooked stuff that I do not need.
Anya, this is only an idea. Maybe on of the things is possible.
Cheers

I think Christian's clean 6.5.3 ROM is pretty close to what you are hoping for.
Well, I have that one on my X1 right now,
and you are right: It is the closest I can get right now. But there is still a whole lot of MB used in that rom. About 135 Mb. It has alot of themes ands applications in it.
If I look at gtrabs pure 6.5 beta version, which has only about70 MB size.
This is why I suppose, that the 6.5.3 Version could be reduced to a minimum.
This is why I hope, somebody would upload a very pure verison.
Cheers
Jens
Try 826x. It's my fav at the moment! Just search google for 826x!

I have been using Christian's 6.5.3 Rom build 23518 for about a week now. I absolutely love it, surprisingly stable too. This is the cleanest 6.5.3 around and I highly recommend it
I guess that by the moment the
[Sutyi's SECOND ROM] UPLOADED -> 28205_BASIC
is the newest one close to what you have asked for.

I have it on the X1 right now, but that rom is unfourtunatly packed with software which I do not need.
Is there a way to get rid of the unneeded software? Like deleting themes and panelmanager. It is not listed in the "remove software" section.
Nevertheless, the rom is quite fast, though not as fast as christians rom is.
@ st-mark: isn't sutys roms a 6.5 rom and not a 6.5.3 rom? I thought he has the windows start button on top and not at the bottom.

Well, I tried Sutys Roms and the 826x Rom
The 826x Rom was acually pretty nice. It was quite fast and stable, even though it was loaded with a lot of other software. People who like the X2 Stuff should have a lock at that one. (the 826x was marked as a 6.5.5 Rom)
The size of the Rom was about 136 MB as far as I remember.
Compared to Christians Rom I felt, that Christians Rom was a bit more fluent, but almost no difference in Speed and Stayability. The 826x Rom has a different Software package. There were some nice apps included like powerradio, and some other stuff I haven't seen before. So the 826x is worth a try, though it has a lot of software included.
Sutys Basic Rom was a little problematic for me. I had troubles with the screen turning off after waking the device up. This happens two to three times and then I got to the homescreen.
This procedure happend often (well, often: I used the rom for about 8 hours . Suty wrote, that this might have been because of the SmartLock Programm. I do not know if other users had the same problem.
Besides that it went quite fast, though in my eyes not as fast as Christians Rom. And there were still some apps I would not have needed.
Finally Sutys Lite Rom:
That one is for me right now the optimal rom. It does not have a lot of fancy apps included. In fact, more or less only the basic and needed stuff to get the X1 working (Including camera etc.).
The Rom Size is about 70 MB or less, as far as I remember.
It is really fast and stayable. No problems yet with this Rom. (Only one activesync thing, but that was not caused by the rom, but by my desktop).
If one needs a real clean and light version, Sutys lite Rom is the one I would recommend.
Cheers
Jens
What about batteries?
I'm using Sutys Lite Rom too.
And I met a battery trouble, described at the page#13.
I wonder if you have the same? Or may be some of my software spoils?

Build 28205 had battery trouble on X1.
It's my conclusion after...
Reading many posts here..
Testing few X1 Build 28205 roms..
For example...
On Christian 28205 build rom (version 3.904) in 12 hours, phone lost 49% of battery (sleep time, all things off, etc.), but on build 23518 (version 4.001) battery works fine for me now (still testing).
Something unbelievable
On the last two days my batteries drained totally in ~16 hours.
Today I used phone in the same intensivity, but I have ~40% else at the end of the day. Fantastic! I'm going to renovate the ROM and use it for few days with NO third-pary software installed.
Sorry for my English too ;-)
PS: Take a look at my last message at the subject thread.

I kinnda disagree...the 4.001 also drains the battrey...i installed it for a day, charged it 100%..went for a bath, came back and saw after a couple of messages and 1 call, the battry was 86%....so, yea the battrey issue still persists...but now im looking forward for a WinMo 6.7..

yeah, I know about lockscreen Its made to skin the 230xx ++ builds withe the new 6.5 GUI (big buttons etc) it works better there, but they still have some work to do on that.
Rom is using ram/xip diffrently then most other roms, use more memory, but increase speed in many operations.

hi, i just got my x1 a few weeks back and im looking to upgrade the rom and what i realized is it involves many more steps than what was required for my universal before?
i upgraded the official rom via the SD card method and that worked like a charm. But what i dont know is which rom can i upgrade to on my x1... as it seems that they are all based on R2... R3... etc?
so what im lookin for is a fast and simple answer on which roms i can upgrade on my x1. The method is not a problem. The rom selection is. And plus, which is the best rom you would recommend?
thankx
The best way is, imho:
Check the threads here. In each, you can find a description of the ROM,
a discussion about possible bugs and solutions, and recommendations from
the xda community.
Basically, you can flash any ROM you will find here. Some like the newest,
more "unofficial" builds of WinMo 6.5 with the Windows start menu at the
bottom, others prefer the "official" build with the menu at the top.
Again others prefer either a Windows only ROM, some Manila 2.1, some the
"latest" version 2.5, these are from the "Leo".
Almost the same applies to the radio/rilphone version.
If you have some spare time, make your own trials - start maybe with the
ROMs from agent_47, NRGZ28, spikegotti, itje, MrRusch... and soon, you
will have your very own, personal preferred solution.
thanks. another question? what is "manila"? unfimiliar with this term.

Manila is the user interface by HTC, which seems to be a favorite of many
X1 users here at xda - there are many ROMs which are cooked with it.
Version 2.5 is taken from the upcoming Leo model, while 2.1 is from other
models, such as Rhodium and Topaz - those are the closest to the X1 from
hardware specifications. One kind of a "disadvantage" in the perception of
some users in the 2.5 version is missing landscape support for virtually all
functions, while 2.1 is fully landscape.
Manila brings eye candy, but also finger friendliness to WinMo devices. You
can easily recognize it with the big digital clock at the home screen.

I'd like to point out that the 2.5 version seems to be a little heavy for the X1.
The manila 2.1 from Rhodium\Topaz have a nice look & feel to them. Also battery life is VERY good with these versions (3 to 6 days on a single charge, depending on how you use your X1). Manila 2.1 does not have the Facebook and Twitter tabs, and has different Favorite and Home screen layouts.
My advise would be to go with a manila 2.1 ROM. My personal favorit is the FireStorm Rhodium\TOPAZ by Agent_47. It's loaded with lots of extra programs, and runs very stabile.
Excelent everyday use!
FireStorm Rhodium\TOPAZ by Agent_47? will give that a try? the htc leo is the HD 2 yes? and thanks for the clarification on the manila. been a great help. Is there much difference in the manila and the touch flo 3d cab? the cab seems to be stable too... and im not a big fan of wm6.5. ive never tried it before... how much free ram is there after the update?

Manila is actually a nickname of what was called TouchFlo3D earlier, and to
complete the confusion, you will maybe read "Sense" sometimes, too. In fact,
that is again the same. Most people here use "Manila" and versions 2.1/2.5.
To install Manila with a cab is definitely quite a fast procedure, but the real
performance of your device will not be as fast as possible - even if stable.
The free RAM is different from ROM to ROM, lower WinMo "pure" ones are
somewhat around 30% memory usage, the lowest Manila ROMs are at
around 35-40% with 2.1, 45-55% with Manila 2.5 - but then again, this is
different from ROM to ROM.
In the sum, maybe a Touch X 10.8.2 or agent´s "Photon" ROM (standard)
could be a good point to start.
Once your are happy, the chef most probably will not be unhappy if you
take care of his/her donation fund...
Happy flashing!
thanks buddy uve been a great help. one last question, i have just upgraded my rom using the micro sd method. if i wanted to go back to my wm 6.1 official R3A rom which was released a lil over a week back, could i use that .nbh file to downgrade as if upgrading?
what im trying to ask is i just put the R3a rom file in my formatted sd card and load the phone in boot loader more and let the magic happen or a more complex process is required like backin up and restoring stock rom?

I´ve seen your 2nd thread asking about speedy ROMs, and it seems you´re
already happily flashing...
Here´s the link for what to do in warranty/service needs...
yes happily flashing indeed. thanks buddy. just played around and got the hang of it. i understand it now.
I've stayed away from anything Manilla for months now. I was tired of a sluggish interface. However I was thinking about giving it another shot to see what our fantastic chefs were able to do it it. So in everyone's opinion what is currently the FASTEST 2.5 rom out there that uses the WM 6.5.5. Any input would be much appreciated.
Oh and another thing I was curious about. Another reason I stopped using it was because it didn't really cooperate well with Iconsoft Phonex. Does anyone know if they clash still? (One example of a problem i had was HTC favorite contacts wouldn't go through to place a call when clicking a contact)
thanks
opinion here
read, try and find out 4 yourself
best
I am asking for speed, that is something measurable. I remember people would ask these all the time and quite often there was a general consensus like "Try Touch X Final. Its super fast!" or "Oh man! spikegotti's UnOff series is the best!"
So i was just wondering if there was a specific ROM that most people had more success with than others. If you don't have an answer or are annoyed by the thread I am sorry, but no one is forcing you to post an answer. I was just looking for anyone that had legitimate input. I'd prefer not to completely waste two days flashing every single ROM only to find out that i still dont really like manilla
Well, then do some research on your own. You know, users talk about how they felt the speed is like in threads of different roms. Have a look what rom appeals to you and then read some comments...would not be bad, would it?
I agree with other people, but I would also advice to start your searching from Valkyrie TR 6.0.28232
Try Valkyrie's rom. In my opinion it's fast,stable and you have all needed applications preinstalled
To help your case:
click the link in my signature. There are pretty good, fast, stable and bug-less roms on that blog. Also you could try blaze or valkyries like it has been mentioned already.
So except Valkryie is there another ROM that has Sense 2.5 and stable...Thanx a TON!!
I've just installed this one

I've flashed this one awhile ago and its working perfectly for me. So fast and stable but i disabled HTC messaging, u can search for the cab here in the forum... Cheers!

Does the battery drain, also do u have the SOD(Phone freezing after sleep mode) and more than that, is it stable??
I genuinely recommend NRG's Energy Leo 23541 build - i've been using it for just over a week and it is simply amazing; with all my own apps added to the plethora of USEFUL apps already installed, it still flies along at top speed.
Note: Best practise is always to flash the ROM, then hard reset (Press the reset button whilst holding down the two front buttons under the screen) - this ensures best speed/stability!

Hi,
My battery doesnt drain any faster with this ROM installed I get normal battery life.
Not sure about hte SOD issue you speak about.. if you mean does the phone freeze after I've unlocked the screen lock then no I generally havent experianced any freezeing on the phone since installing this ROM so basically I find it very stable.
hi i just got this phone and i love it. i have read a lot about upgrading the rom, but all these seperate roms confuse the heck out of me . Say i just want to upgrade to win 6.5 is the christians clean rom the best one? will i lose features and will i lose all my data and saved stuff if i flash it? sorry fot the noob questions. thanks for looking
there is no such thing as the best rom. u will have to find out by your self flashing all the different roms you are interested in and test them out if they fit your needs. i think christians rom is a good start. its fast and he offers different versions.
all your data (except those on the sd card) will be lost. but there are programs to back them up.
Ok, thanks. Going to try out a few now, just got the phone Hard SPLed or whatever (neardly died of a heart attack when it stuck at the bootloader and the program failed... just ran the program again and it worked phew lol). Thank you

I'm in the same boat.
What ROM did you eventually go with? Are you impressed with the result?
I have tried alot of different roms, however I have one clear preference.
IMO the best Windows 6.5 Rom is this one: http://826x.blogspot.com/
I would get the version without HTC Sense.
I am currently running the "ROM 826X Windows Mobile 6.5.5 build 23519" version, and am getting 2-3 days battery life with moderate day to day use.
ANY other 6.5 rom that I have tried has been 1-1.5 days, however these have all been HTC Sense / TF3D roms.
If you do not mind about battery life then the Agent_47 / itje / NRGZ28 roms are all excellent, and offer additional eye candy.
Happy flashing.
i've been getting 2 days battery out of the latest agent roms! thats with sense 2.5 on too!

I'm currently using 23545 (non manila). I really like it. I'd like to try the Energy ROM, but I don't like manila. Plus, swapping ROMs every few days gets tiresome.

NRG also offers a Titanium (non-manila) version of his ROMs, look in the Sense 2.1 download folder....
Hi,
I recently downloaded the Xperileo rom off the xperia-unoff site.
I love the rom, its got a great interface and features. I really like the graphics of this rom and Id like to keep something like this, I think its called sense or manilla. I really dont know though its confusing.
There is one or twos problem however.
1. The phone keeps freezing, requiring me to open the back of it and use the reset button. This is dangerous as if my family calls, I may not receive the call. This absolutely needs fixing. Is there a stable rom that will not freeze or have these problems that has the same type of scrolling or a really nice GUI like this one I am using ?
2. The other problem is that the interface is pretty slow, with text messaging being really slow to respond, and menus freezing for a few seconds.
If someone could recommend a stable but attractive rom I would be very appreciative. Stability and usability are top.
Thanks
Christof
You gotta test yourself a couple of ROMs. That's the best answer.
I've tried almost every rom here.
Energy and Valkyrie are both overbloated and unstable. Xperileo is unstable as well. Almost every rom with manila sense is unstable slow and rendering it almost unusable.
Try the 826x rom, it's the best one and has most stability i've seen in a rom. ♥
Also touch x is pretty good if your looking for absolute speed on manila.

u sound like me a couple of years back..anyways..Wildchild's ROM (Unavailable here on XDA) is by far the most stable Manila (now called Sense UI) ROM.
However if u dont want a Sense UI (HTC phone interface), i would suggest XPURE III OR II.
PM me if u still have problems.
All the best.
the best solution for your problem is use the original r3a rom.fastest rom whithout any bug .stable .I've tried all xda roms,after that I back to r3a rom.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies I do appreciate it.
It sounds like Manilla is a bit unstable, which is not safe for me.
What about windows 6.5. Whats the most stable or a very stable rom with nice icons? Dont care about the manilla stuff compared to stability. Just need something that never freezes.
Thanks again
Cheers

You CAN have pretty stable Sense/Manilla interface ROMs.
It's just that they are pretty much hit or miss. One version can be stable and reliable and another, issued 3 days later (and having replaced the earlier version) can be a mess.
I just recently started flashing ROMs and my experiences have been good so far. I have mostly played with the beautiful ENERGY ROMs and some have been good, some bad.
The Sense UI may not be a speed demon, but is gorgeous and works (although something like SPB Mobile Shell might be faster - not as good looking though). But the true differnce for me is in the speed of programs running. For me they work MUCH faster under ENERGY ROMs then on the stock ROM. This is most noticable with my GPS software which was slow, laggy and unstable under stock ROM, while is very reliable and works great under ENERGY ROMs.
My advice is to just find a good ROM that suits you and keep it, rather then enter the constant reflashing cycle. Some Sense ROMs are very stable.

With Sense UI: WildChild's ROM.
Without SEnse UI (Windows 6.5.x) : Russell Eclair XPure II or even III (im using this right now, its pretty good)

I find Russell Eclair XPure II to be a little slow compared with jerpelea's X2 port.
The only issue I have with jerpelea's ROM is the first times someone is calling me. I can' answer the phone and I have to pull out the battery. But after 1-2 days it works like a champ (without using Slideview, the X2 addition to panels).
If you want something fast and stable look for a clean ROM (like Laurenti's ROM, 23.08.2010 version used for 2 weeks with no problem, and really fast) or R3A ROM.
Cheers!

Try the Xpure III with the freeze fix given..It wil solve all your problems...I am using it myself...had the same problem as u..used the freeze fix and flashed XPure III NOT II...
I still maintain that Touch X 10.1 is the best rom out there.
It does exactly what I need. Great battery life, great speed and never had a freeze or SOD with it (EVER!).
Yes the graphics are a little outdated but I am willing to put up with that in exchange for the 3 above.

It's also freezing every couple of hours ....
Just a Question: Do you hard reset after flashing the phone?
Yes, I always hard reset my phone after flashing.
for me dis ROM 826x WM 6.5.3 build 23680 - Sense 2018 is d fastest & quite stable..u still will exp wit sod once in a while but for me dis rom really worth trying..

Thread removed to Q&A as not Rom Dev, please post in the correct section, one other thing, asking "which rom is best?" is like asking a load of guys what is the best beer in the world
Thanks
