Need Help / Opinions! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hey guys, I've been on here since a while back and when the diamond was fairly new. I remember I used Dutty's final rom for my diamond but unfortunately my diamond had to be sent in to fix a screen problem. As a result my OS is back to stock but I think my SPL is still flashed. I just want to know or if anyone can give me the link to the fastest, stable ROM for the touch diamond right now. I want something with Manilla preferably. Is shak's 4.30 the best option for me? I would go back to Dutty's but it seems there are some new roms but since I havent been on here I've missed quite a bit and busy with school so I need a shortcut! Someone tell me what the best rom is and the best manilla rom too!
Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Rom comparison

Hi all.
Been reading this forum for a while, but only just decided to post.
I've seen a couple of cooked roms for the X1 which seem to be quite popular - one by jackleung and the other by itje.
I was wondering if anyone has an overview and comparison of the various roms available. It'd help somebody new like me to make an informed choice on which to install and weigh up the features available.
Thanks.
honestly, I tried the touch-HD 1.7 rom from Jack which is really complete but quite slow sometimes so I finally took the lite one 1.4 and then add the touch HD as a panel and now I have to say that it's much faster and smooth that anything I've tried before...

i would say its user preference. flash each rom and c which one best fits your needs.
I'd have to agree i tried all 3 of itje's roms and i only liked one. Since there are few custom roms for the xperia u can just try them all. If this was the touch pro thread i'd say we need some sort of chart
x1 will be x1...
rom without penal but touch flo, it seems a hd's rom...
no penal is okay,'cause we could install it by ourselves...
how about use the original rom of X1...
i get the rom kitchen,but i have no idea to cook rom..
I think its a great question, and a good idea for ppl to exchange thoughts about the different X1 ROMz. Without criticize the cooks ofc.

Stok vs custom ROM

Hello, couple of days ago i moved back to windows mobile and bought a HD...So far i have flashed the latest stock ROM, Dutty's 2.3,Touch of HD 3.4.2, wm 6.5 version ..... and I would say the stock ROM is the best so far
Other options ? Any ideas which is the most used rom ?
Regards,

the roms we use, are the ones we like. you need to run the one you like
you wont get a vote here on "whose is the best rom?"
didn't ask whose rom is the best....i asked what is the rom that most of you use and maybe why...I don't want any vote....I don't think any chief would mind hearing opinions about their roms....Might help em gettin better .....Anyways, if the staff thinks that my question is wrong...the thread can be trashed

i use win 6.5 miri xtralight with winterface.
it is faster than the original roms, and seems to be more stable than duttys..

I think the 2 most common rom's used (correct me if I'm wrong) are Duttys & Laurentius26
Dutty has a number of rom's released with varied reports on each so its best to read each thread and make up your own opinion. Personally the best thing you could do is flash a rom, try it out and make your own opinion. I have flash3ed countless rom's and still haven't found the perfect one!

It depends which criteria you have. On rom is stable, another have more functions another a nicer interface another is faster another has more free space.
Write down your own criteria and check which ROM is the best for. Most of the users here are still searching (see Fallen Spartan)

Me too. I am back to stock, although I did compress manilla textures in it.
Even tried many radios, but back to stock radio as well.
Great thing are done with roms here, but they have IMHO to many oddities.
Still, HTC could learn a trick or two overhere....
I did flash my Elf (Old Touch) with a mature cooked rom, and I am happy with that.
No doubt there will be great Touch HD roms here, when I have bought my Pro2
I have also tried Laurentius26 ROM.It has a lot of features that i like (big start menu...i mean very big :-D)....but also found some bugs (i fixed one)...It's very fast and i like that
Duttys is a little to slow...i think...
I will flash right now the xtralight version of miri's 6.5 wm (now that viczena said that it's fast)
Greetings from Romania,

Very very duummm question? Or is it, where can i get Stock WM 6.1, i flashed mine, and i dont know wich one to use, they are all great, so i am heading back to original? So if you could please help me.
Well i'm just going along with whatever roms come out, so far tryed 6 of them a week apart, about same. I'm sticking now to 1 new rom a month.
Nice looking rom
So could you please tell me if there is any rom with nice interface? I've tried most of Duty's , MaryOne and much more, but I can't find any which has cool TF3D, every tab backgrund (I don't want to spend half of my day to resize a picture just to make a background for every tabs).
P.S. Sorry for my english

ROM Suggestions

Sorry, I'm new here so I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place or unnecessary.
My X1i has always been slow but recently it is just unbearable, I've never had time to update my ROM but today I'm home sick. I have put it into HARD-SPL awhile ago already, but I don't know what ROM to use. I was looking for WinMo 6.5, Fast and X2 Panel manager/Panels. Can someone suggest me a recently updated custom ROM, Please?
Thanks in advanced.
try them all and use the one which suits u best

WM 6.5 Official Uncooked Upgrade, should I go branded(t-mobile) or unbranded(htc)?

Hi everyone,
I have a T-Mobile TP2 and have been torn on whether or not to upgrade to 6.5 for some time now. Well I finally decided to go for it, but then came across the official unbranded HTC rom.
My question is (dealing only with official release updates from tmobile and htc):
Who has upgraded to both branded and unbranded and can relay pros and cons of both compared to 6.1 and each other? Or has anyone heard enough about both, or can give me any relevant information?
Also, do I need to HardSPL in order to flash the HTC rom?
I'd really like to lose all the bloatware and sh!tty splash screen and everything else t-mo, but I don't know if there is any clear-cut advantage to doing so.
Also, if I am completely daft and missed a similar pre-existing thread, please inform me of my mistake. Same goes if I posted in the wrong section, this is my first post in evar.
THANKS!!!
Put Hardspl on your phone and you can test yourself You can always go back to the 6.1 rom.
is there a stock manila 2.5 ROM offered by t-mo?
if not, 2.5 + CHT is definately worth using the HTC ROM.
I would not mess with Sense 2.5 unless it is cooked. You need a lot of tweaks to make it run smoothly on the TP2, especially in HTC messaging. I am using a cooked version of the T-Mobile stock rom with Sense 2.1, has been the best and most stable rom for me yet. Sense 2.5 is good if you don't mind giving up some performance for new features. Sense 2.1 is what our devices run best with. Hope this helps you decide.
EDIT: In comparison to WinMo 6.1 with TF3D, upgrading to 6.5 with Sense2.1 will in my opinion make the device run smoother. 6.1 is a very solid OS and works well with TouchFlo to make scrolling much easier. However, I say if you can upgrade the device to 6.5 without losing performance go for it because it is much better integrated than TouchFlo, making the touch experience much better. Through my testing, the TP2 functions best with WinMo 6.5 with Sense2.1. The newer WinMo builds are probably better off using on the HD2 and other high performance devices. Same thing with Sense2.5, it can run smoothly but you will be giving up some speed as well as memory and battery life. I have come to terms with my phone, lol... Nothing beyond Sense2.1 and WM6.5 from now on. But you have to test on your own to see which you like better. Good luck!
I've been cooking own ROM for a few weeks now, and it's a T-Mobile no frills ROM.
It's not quite finished, but it's very stable and the battery life is excellent. I could always use another tester if you're interested.

You would have to hard SPL to use the HTC ROM.
The Official WM 6.5 is a sense 2.1 version, but you would not need to hard SPL.
Thanks for all of your help!
I'm still not sure what i'll do for now, but i'll probably end up just biting the bullet and becoming an addict. I'll start with the official sh!t and gateway into flashing every stable rom that exists lol.

[Q] Isn't there any reliable, working and fast ROM for X1?

I am following this forum since 2 years now, when I got my X1 in Dec 2008. Finally, I found a very good working ROM here. But I reset my phone and wanted to use a newer ROM.
But any ROM I tried sucks. I am working for over one week now on this issue It's quite annoying.
All I want is a ROM which uses WM 6.5.3 or rather 6.5.1. I wanna use SPB Shell 2 not 3.5.x, because it is too slow.
Is there anybody here who can recommend a ROM that is working well on his X1???
Sorry for yammering =)
I need a reliable cell in 2 weeks...gotta fix that problem now, finally.
Thanks for ya help
Sven
Moved to Q&A, not rom dev
In answer to your question though, why not cook your own
Well, a pure WM ROM would also be sufficient for me, forgot to mention that...thanks for the advice ;-)
I guess I cannot cook my own one, but in order to use SPB shell...a pure one is fine.
