Thanks. I bricked my Tmobile wing 2 days out of the box and all I had to do was follow the instructions to bring it back.
There are a myriad of ROM choices. Can somebody recommend one to start with . I want the touch stuff, the cube, Microsoft office, the eight button comm center. Id like to overclock a little, and free up some memory.
I dont need IM, tmobiles stuff...
Thanks again for the great forum.

I reccommend ITJE's TOUCH-IT rom or ASERG's ROM. I have used them both for prolonged periods of time and have been extremely pleased with both.

My First POST!!!
Howdy y'all.
Is there a place that gives good descriptions of all of the various features?
For example: What's the difference between Open Touch and Touch It?

test it. and ask you the question: what is the difference between AT&T, T-Mobile and O2...
all the same and completely different!

Exactly. Each one has ups and downs but they play a part only in EACH individual's personal usage.
itje's TouchIT and ITsBlack are usually the latest and greatest in porting. Although, at the momment, we're all using the same build. Currently his newer builds are more about speed. His ROMs are Herald ROMs but you can switch the keyboard layout to almost completely match the Wing if you have a wing.
Ttran's Open Touch tend to go for functionality and pizaz. (sp!) They look good and do everything but wash your car. His ROMs are Wing ROMs but you can switch the keyboard layout to almost completely match the Herald if you have a wing.
Papamopps makes modded itje's ROMs that run a bit more to meet his needs. They tend to be very to the point and do their job without messing around. Like itje's, they're Herald ROMs.
Ivan: My clean series ROMs tend to be plain, clean, stripped down, no frills ROMs. No extra programs or features. I usually include both Herald and Wing versions with native keyboard drivers.
kidnamedAlbert makes the Carbon series, which are customized ROMs made in my kitchen. He's the newest member of the cooking crew, so we're expecting great things out of him.
Lastly, you can also use my kitchen to create a version of my own ROM with the apps you want.
But this "review" is not a review of ROMs but a "review" on the cooks who make them.
Forgive me if I forgot anybody.
i use open touch biggy 3.0..love it on my wing

you forget Aserg's rom
Also:
There's also PDAViets roms. This one is excellent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364706
It was my Favorite until ttran's Open Touch Lite. Been using this one for a long while now and its the Best. I've tried alot of others but without Internet Sharing I'm dead in the water.
For my first flash I used TTran's Open-Touch ROM (3.0 Biggy), it was really nice for a first timer who doesn't have the experience needed to tweak things.
Once you play with your phone enough you'll become more comfortable with installing/tweaking programs and you may want different things out of your phone (biggy has every feature you can imagine), this is where the clean/lite roms come in with more storage for the apps you use & more customization.
I haven't tried Aserg's or PDAViet's, so unfortunately, I can't comment on them.
Oh yeah and lets not Forget:

Hi all,
To anyone out there who has tried all three of what look like to be the best Rhodium ROMs here currently - which one would you recommend and why?
Miri - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552643

I'm about to load my first ROM and any feedback on which one would has the best stability with working Exchange 2007 + BT integration would be appreciated.
Many thanks
PS - pls no more "just read their threads" posts, have done that already and keen to get any first hand feedback
Let's see! All the information you want is in that respective thread! If you read them, then you wont need to ask. Also ROM performance depends on what you install and where you live! So you really cant compare what other users say.
Just read, flash and enjoy!

Seriously; the previous poster is right: it's all a matter of personal taste. You honestly can only judge for yourself, and your type of usage of your device.
Besides, there are more cooks, you forgot some ROMS in your list
Again: just flash, use the rom for a few hours, and try another one... after a while you will see what cook fits your need the best
I personally prefer At0mang's ROM's they are fast and stable and good for everyday use
Like anyone needs to ask...my ROM of course
My 2 cents
Hi
I tried all, and the Best as per my experience is Miri.
1- Not a single button push or option made my TP2 freeze. Other ROMs made it freeze. In one of the ROMs, the "other" button in the manila settings page made it freeze every time i click it
2- Other ROMs have built in software that did not work. One of the ROMs had "Bluetooth explorer" and "bluetooth wizard", and none of those could switch on bluetooth !!!! My experience is based on flashing more than once
3- The only thing that lacks Miri is modifying the icons on the taskbar to make them more eye candy (bluetooth, wifi, battery, GSM, speaker,...)
Rgds
Raed
NRG might get the upper hand just because of his visuals.
Other then that, I think all is great.
udK rom....
Honestly speaking Miri's and B16B is the best ROM i ever tried. Well it depends on your requirements better try ALL and select which one is suitable for your TP2.
For me I'm still using the Shipped ROM + Hero Toch
I have to agree about the visuals, not only does NRG make a stable rom but its got everything you need pre loaded and looks fantastic, all other roms are still genius work, but still using NRG'S
On a serious note
The only ROM's I would use are my ROMs or NRG's ROMs. At least we do something creative with our ROMs and not just package up OEM crap.
How about getting a little orginal and also learning how to port a build instead of using the OEM sys. Oh yeah that is too much work without asking for help and then dropping people once you get what you want

Porting a ROM is not an easy thing!...I know exactly what u mean...
You'll notice that there aren't a lot of "which rom is best" threads, because they're terribly subjective and often lead to a lot of bickering. As such, it's standard policy to close these types of threads.
Been out of the scene for a while and just wanted to know sofar whats the stablest and quickest 6.5 rom out? also with as little kibble as possible added to it (i like to add my own cabs).
There are two things you have to do before you can find one!
1. Read!!
2. Flash!! Until you find the right one for you....
Good luck, and WB.

ive tried a few and sofar they arent what im looking for. between work and school i dont have the time to load all the roms out there and benchmark, im just asking for user comparisons between roms witouth having to go thru 50+ pages of replies to a release thread.
I tried energy fusion and Miri's rom and thus far Miri's is the cleanest fastest ROM ive used IMO and just as Miri stated in the post he doesn't add anything extra that he doesn't feel is necessarry. I'm rather new to the scene so i'm getting used to it but Miri's so far is definitely my favorite
miri's roms are clean and bug-free

My suggestion would be ROMeOS by Monx.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560899
He has his version 1.4 available for the public.
However if you like the rom, you can make a donation and gain access to the upgraded roms he has made since then.
The most current version is 1.11 (again, only available to supporters)
But in my honest opinion, it has been the most stable, kibble free rom out there so far.
If you are looking for a clean ROM as in no TF3D then I suggest you try my Lite ROMs
Suggestions
I think you need to make a initial decision to what you want first.
No Touchflo3d, TF3D 2.1 or TF3D2.5.
I personally like Atomang's approach. A OEM look with tweaked setting for speed and stability. I like to install all the eye candy and cabs myself. So that might be the a good direction for you.
His v3.7 wm6.5 w/tf3d 2.1 was outstanding. Bloody fast with stability to boot. I am currently testing his v4.0 beta release2 with tf3d 2.5 and it is fast. Most importantly is that I can consider them for daily use.
Bottom Line: If this is your first "Cooked ROM" install. Try v3.7 wm6.5 w/ tf3d2.1.
If you really don't have the time then I'd stick with Miri's 2.1 V3.0 of 25th Sept
Clean and simple and no memory leak/battery issues or bugs

Going to have to agree here. Miri's 3.0 release of his Manila 2.1 ROM has been the fastest and most stable ROM I've flashed yet. There is no more annoying time zone pop-up, the memory management is incredible and you get the bleeding edge Manila with weather on the homescreen. I also appreciate the OEM look and the ability to customize the ROM the way I see fit.
Dave! Where are you? LOL

Im waiting for my new phone Rhodium dah
And i have been looking around for different ROMs and i cant find anything that im looking for.
My old phone (X1) i ran a WM 6.5 barebone version that means no extra "stuff" or themes and on just plain simple WM 6.5 because i rum Spb Mobile shell i like the animations and so on in it so it feels waste of resources to run like TouchFLO and so on.
And when im typing this i could take the chans and ask about the Manila & Sense, Are they different version of TouchFLO 3D? never got the hang of that part :/
Thanks for all help in advance
Hi danne.
this topic is probably going to be closed soon, since this question is asked alot on this forum.
and usually, the answer is something like, take your time and install different roms to see wich one you like.
personally, I recommend you the T.I.R. explosion rom, cause it is stable and doesn't have lots of programs installed.
so it runs on the bare minimum, which is what you are looking for as far as I hear.
then again, this is my personal opinion and probably there are lots of other people around here who will tell you to try another rom.
and they are all right, so please, try them out and enjoy them all
love
fuzz
I don't know why it should be closed because ppl want to know what tip and what they should run. I mean in this case something "barebone" i all the ROMs i have been looking at i full with extra apps and other flashy teams..
Is this what you mean? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587419&highlight=explosion+rom
Thats not exactly what im looking for, I want a standard WM 6.5 not with a modified menu system or desktop.
Or if you should find a brebone some functions of the phone has been removed.. like radio. The point with barebone is not to remove functions that the phone has but to minimize the usage of memory and thems that you are never going to use. And maybe have the Themes like extra CABs or something.
im currently running a perceft barebone WM 6.5 with Spb mobile shel on my X1 and that is mutch faster then i ran a ROM with touchFLO and stuff and then mobile shell on top.
Test a several till you find the one that fits better for your needs and share it with us!
And don´t forget to vote for Rhodium"!"!
Seems that no one understands what "Standard WM 6.5" means
Anyway................
How about the TouchFlO stuff?, 3D,Manila,Sense,MaxManila and so on, What is the difference?

Manila is mostly the same as both TouchFlo3D and Sense. Since Sense is name HTC calls the TouchFlo3D in newer devices with newer properties.
And the name "Manila ver x.x.xxxxxxx"(for instance: manila v2.1.xxxxxx are usually for TouchFlo3D and v2.5.xxxxxxxxx are for Sense) is mostly used in xda and devs forums because the source files of both TouchFlo3D and Sense is called as Manila in the windoes or Android directories.
I dunno much about MaxManila but what I think about your rom decision is the same as most people, you'll probably end up with spending hours in the forum and another hours for installing - testing - reinstalling roms to your device and trying to be careful about your data, but in the end I'm sure you'll find what you really want.
Standard WM 6.5? The non-touch screen OS? Or a bare-bones version of the WM 6.5 that comes on touch screen devices (a.k.a. WM 6.5 Professional)?
If you are talking about WM 6.5 professional versions, my advice would be to look at the various posts on the ROMs and read what those who have come before you think. Do the negatives out weigh the positives? How many bugs?
Personall, I like NRG's work. Stable and efficient.
I must admit that NRG does a great job! example:

And this NRGZ ROM has just a Titanium version. Titanium, however, is just another overlay/launcher like Sense, just not as complex.
I think Energy's roms are great,but the only issue about it is his roms are not so "energy",meaning battery life is not so good.
Rhodium_AF is also nice.
As for ROM's themselves i've notice in the past year here on the XDA forums that roms have become very similar to each other with very minor differences between them in the speed and the way they look. This as become more so since people have been cooking with wm6.5
Personally i am not bothered by this because i like the more business-like look of the ROMs and i am not embarrsed to pull my phone out and show off my new GUI. And not look like the more immiture ones from a couple of years back
personally after looking around the ones by NRGZ28 seem the most ascetically pleasing of the lot and seem to have positive reviews regaurding speed
As of now, valkerie's 23518-F5 rom got all thumbs up for tp2.
NRGZ > Fast roms, with almost no trouble at all.
Ark66 > Custom rom with a stock lay out, my own experience is that this rom freezes every 2 days, if not every day
Still I love the Ark66 theme and stuff that's why I am constantly switching between those 2.
I like dotcompt Roms, awesome work with the Diamond and now amazing Rhodium Roms.
Download DeepShining v11, it is simple the best there is.

No, I prefer the Deepshining.
Well, I prefer the Valkyrie.
I think the Cell series are the best.
How about Jackos, Twopumpchump, Josh's, LeoPard, Mccune, AthineOS, Aruppenthal, Bhar's, Da_G, daxy, Sergio, eras2r, ...
Stop asking which is best. It is a matter of opinion and need. And the answer is different for us all or we would just have the Miscrosft version and xda wouldn't be needed. Try them until you find what you are looking for, or cook your own.

Hello,
I'm new to the Rhodium, but I have some experience in cooking Sable roms.
So, the WM6.5 ROMs where a bit too slowly for me, however all WM6.1 roms doesn't have Sense. I made a hybrid - WM6.1 ROM with Sense 2.1. Works perfectly! Smooth, stable and so on... I have just one problem with this hybrid, my "Wired Remote Control RC E100" stopped working. It always starts Windows Media Player instead of Manila Player. If I cook the old Touch FLO 3.0 (without changing the other ext packages and OEM's) the problem is gone. It works perfectly if I cook the whole OEM's from a WM6.5 rom. But if I do that, a lot of other programs do not work anymore (for example keyboard). I think it's a problem with a driver that is compatible only with Sense or TouchFLO, but I can not figure out with one is it! That's lame, because my ROM is finished and just this issue stops me to using it (my wired remote control is important for me)!
Any help is very appreciated.
Edit: The answer is here:

Well i wanted to use the rom of course.. And i think the best thing to do would be to go thru the 6.5 oems adding a few at a time til the problem stops. then to see what you added that effected the remote..
Requires alot of flashing tho..
If you don't use a wired remote control... The rom could fit you ;D
OK, ill upload the rom asap... I'm a bit busy right now.

I checked the cab file with HTC drives for the remote control... And there is just one suspicious file: wavedev.dll. I used this driver from WM6.5 OEM, but it doesn't change anything!
Ummmm... post it please!!!! Sounds like An awesome hybrid. Does it have the smooth flow In scrolling that 6.5 has? Besides sense 2.1 that would be my only other want. Don't really care, but, titanium will be gone cus this is meant to be fast and light right...... thanks... looking forward to the release!!!

Guys, firstly I need to fix my issue xD The ROM i have created is for my personal use, it hasn't got UC, it has a lot of my stuff and so on...
If there is need for such a rom, i'll create one. But this needs some time.
Edit: Yes, it has got smooth flow, but it's taken from the TouchFLO 3.0 (dunno what you mean with "smooth flow In scrolling that 6.5 has", but I don't see any difference between the TF3.0 flow and the WM6.5 one).
I understand you posted a question in hopes of fixing the problem in your rom. Sorry I can't be of some help with that. The ROM sounds like a winner though and I am anxious to try. Thank you for your response and good luck fixing the issue.
I fixed it God bless XDA ;D
