it may sound silly

i have been reading loads and loads on this excellent forum and i have learned so much about unlocking and flashing hard and soft for my kaiser and also about the radio and the problems i can run into and their fixes.
here is the silly question
what rom software should i flash to my phone?
i have read about some of the roms available but i cant see many differances between then because as i can see they are all debranded firmware roms and all that i can see is that some have different applications allready implimented in them, so does it really matter which rom i use or should i just use the newest?
thanks for any suggestions or help in reguards to this

It is very hard to tell someone to use a particular ROM, because each person expects different things out of their phone. The best thing to do is read about each ROM, read the ROM's thread to find out what the Chef has put into their ROM....then pick one and flash away....trying is the only way to find out what is best for you.
Hope that this helps..

i thaught that would be the answer i would get lol but thanks anyway.
does repeatedly reflashing the rom to try the software affect the phone in any bad way at all or is it safe to go ahead and try a few?

I currently have Stylez Black version 2. I just flashed Version 2 last Friday. It is working wonderfully. I had Version 1, since it's release.
Stylez is new to cooking for Kaiser, but he has cooked for Dash. He is also helped other Chefs with their builds.

I have flashed my phone hundreds of times in the last year and a half, with no ill effects. I personally think that all the hard resets associated with flashing have kept my phone clean and running at top form.
Since most roms are cooked using the same basic kitchens and from the same M$ builds, the basic structure is the same. Some cooks cook for stability, some for speed, some for super storage and some to just constantly push the limit of possibilities.
After a while, flashing will be like changing themes. Look at them all and find one that suits you needs and flash away, you can always change it if you want more or less in a rom.

You need to do search my friend. Whatever your question is, try to search and you will find the answer.
In your case, if you like to flash your device to windows 6.5, you'll first need to do HardSPL. You can find the "how to" in this thread and this thread.
Then, you can choose and download any ROM you like. There are plenty of choices.
Just follow the instruction to flash the ROM....I think every instruction is clearly enough to understand.

I did search and i downloaded the hardSPL program but I didnt use it because it was going to download an older rom than the one i have right now.
How do you guys know which ROM to use? I just want the latest one.

before flash any custom ROM you have to do hard-spl JUST ONCE THOUGH, have fun

hey!
1. you got the latest update for your ROM from SE. that means you are on a "official ROM" or "stock" ROM.
it's suppose to be running on windows mobile 6.1.
2. there is NO "official" 6.5 ROM for the X1 (yet)
3. when you see ROMs saying they are running on 6.5 they are called "custom" ROMs.
custom roms, as the word suggests, are customized by great chefs here on xda to maximize the capabilities of X1 and windows mobile,
that includes the latest updates either from SE or windows (or HTC)
4. there are also 6.1 custom roms
5. the date any custom rom is released suggests it is the latest.
6. there are different "cooks" who may release the same build/update
my suggestion:
try each rom one at a time. sooner or later you'll find one that will suit your taste.
(i think this is the norm here on xda ). and imho, this is how it should be.
if you want the latest agent_47 will not fail you. he's almost always has the latest updates.
if you want a simple & stable rom go for jack's. (with multi-language support)
for pure X1 & wm, look for spikegotti's rom or gtrab's
later you can try itje's, rotastrain's, killer8nl's, etc which are all great.
i hope that clears your confusion. enjoy!
be sure to hard-spl first.

aww you guys are so helpful. thanks im sorry but i will be sending you a PM if i need help. lol

Help Please, Whats the best stable fast ROM out there!?

hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..

It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.

Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck

HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.

ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,
thanks for ur response.

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.

ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,

I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4360836&postcount=2
BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.

wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.

Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.

Hello guys i have a special request and i need your help because i can`t find this ROM i search almost everywhere and write here on XDA but for now not success.
I want to download this ROM
WWE EnergyROM WM6.5 PHOTON 17th October Build (23016) Manila 2.1.19.19 Sense
I want to have this ROM on my Hard Disc because when i flash new roms if the ROM is bugy to have this always on my PC to can return Back.
Im with this ROM right now and is writen on my signature but i lost all my data from my Desktop PC and i don`t have this ROM anymore.. so if i flash my device with new ROM i can`flash this Favorite ROM anymore.
Why i want exactly this ROM is.. just because work perfectly and is supper fast and stable have only 2 bugs witch are fixed with Cabs.. im using this ROM from almost 2 Months and its Very Good ROM maybe the best one i have on my device...

its been so long since i tested it and there's been so many releases that i cant really say exactly a opinion about the rom. I have though used the exact link to get it back then because of hotfire being so slow. best way is to test it really but i using his latest rom at the moment.
link below
_http://rapidshare.com/files/319335428/EnergyROM_21884_BLACKSTONE_10.Dec.2009_StandardM2.5_MaxManila.rar
its design is pretty good and so far i aint had any problems with it and being 21884 its pretty sound on the memory resources so i would advise that. if you dont like the layout on the 2.5 thats been added, use the phoenix 2 rom here but try keepin to the 21884 if you like to have free memory like i do so it doesnt slow as well as being faster.

[Q] Why should install custom rom for WP7 ???

Dear guys...
I am absolutely new for Window phone, 3 days experience after fed up with Samsung's Omnia long times ago...
So forgive me even my question is tooooooo noop but, trying to find out strong reason to flash custom rom on stock Mango...
Well, I have used Android phone for a long time with flashing every single rom available until no more fun, ..
So I bought HD2 and flashed Mango custom rom and also Android as dual boot. I understand to flash Mango custom rom to WM 6.5 on HD2 as I used terrible WM 6.5 before...
Mango made me soooo exited with totally different concept compare to Android as I already bored with Android...
So decided to stick to Mango phone from now on then again I bought HD7 and I compared side by side with HD2 running on custom Mango rom (as both devices have same spec of hardware..) and I couldn't find out differences between custom rom (on HD2) and stock (on HD7).
Question is,
Why should flash custom rom to HD7 which is already on Mango ?
For Android, there is huge differences between stock and custom rom for the function, speed and UI but what will be the main benefit to flash custom rom for WP7 ?? Just prepare for flash unofficial upgraded version of Mango or WP8 ????
Another question is,
Even flashing custom rom, there is no problem to log in to Marketplace as no problem on stock rom ???
This log in problem is major issue on HD2 custom rom, that's why I decided get HD7 to experience all the function of WP7....
Appreciate your advise and guide in advance,....

first, welcome to the WP7 family.
now, to answer your questions...
allows you to install non-Marketplace applications
numerous tweaks implemented by Custom ROM's chef
latest WP7 versions
etc.
one can still install apps from official Marketplace
that answer your two questions?
