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,
/A
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
I have tried so many roms and now im not sure which one to try so i can have all three in one.
I`m currently using sex1..
Is anyone using a rom that fits the bill that they could recommend?
choose for yourself by flashing is there another way to tell you
you want 6.5 and manila and panels right? well choose itje, agent_47, shadowmikes, timur, nrg. i don't understand what your really saying here. you can just flash one of their roms and add whatever panels you want. are you asking opinions/preferences? i think itje and nrg is pretty good. just flash and try it all out i mean do you really need someone to tell you? should you flash and see for yourself. the main question here is, did you need to start a new thread for this?
try agent_47's rom, you won't regret it

Yes i want to keep the panel option plus have win mobile 6.5 with maila too. I have a rom at the moment which is all the above ish, but certain panels dont work with it like the standard xperia one!
Thats why i asked the question. I know you can add panels but like i say they dont work with all the roms, and i have tried a few.
I didnt want anyone to tell me ought i was asking for advice or other peoples opinions i can work things out myself i am an adult!
As for if i should start a thread, why not there are a lot worse posts than mine on here.

well the only thing i can say is if one doesnt' work move on to the next 6.5+manila rom until you'v got all the panels you like to work. have you tried installing the new r3 panel manager or your still using the r2 manager. some roms include the r3 panel mangaer already and if that didn't work you can try the r2 and see if that works with your favorite panel before you start over with next rom.
you should find r2 panel manager in post #2 by smaberg in his touch x roms.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493848
wc also has 6.5+manila as well. try nrg energy rom same thing.
ok about the new thread thingy. no ones gonna say who can or who can't start one, its up to any member. it just you'v probably had the answer before you even started it, all trials and errors. but of course you wanted some peoples opinion, the only way to get that opinion is to start a thread obviously. look im only half with ya on this ok? better than not at all

Ta for your help i`m using shadowmikes rom at the moment and all is well so far..
Is it possible to have Manila on a panel? I'd like to have Titanium on the WM Today screen and Manila on a panel.
I know that there were once a cab that made a panel if you had installed "manila" with a cab.
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
At0mAng - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555747
NRGZ28 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506
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.
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.
Duttys HD Leo Holy Grail R0
or
Miri WM65 21890 :: Manila 2.5 :: V 19.0
Which of these roms is more stable more responsive and gives a near to hd2 experience?
option 3: the new Topix 2.5 rom has my vote .
And to be more constructive:
Try them both out, because it is often related to the installed programs, and what you feel is important in a good rom. So it really is hard (if not impossible...) to answer your question.
i just want to know about those 2 as they have the best reviews!!

Try them both out, in fact I reckon you should give topix a spin too, I reckon its the best Rom i ever installed and i must have tried around 30+ in the last 2 months or so including Dutty and Miri
Alchopop
I would add the Cloudy 1.2 rom to that list too then... Before i tried Cloudy's rom, I worked with Dutty's holy grail for a few months, but it was still a bit sluggish. Cloudy, imo, comes very close to the hd2 rom.
There is not really an answer to this question, because everyone's having different opinions in chosing a rom. The best thing for you would be to try them both, and make your own conclusion which one is "better".
Guys thanks for the answers. The thing is that you guys test all sort of roms so i thought that maybe it will save time. Please all of you if you can elaborate and explain with reasons why you think the rom you have said is the best. Do all the features work or you have to patch them up from here and there?
waiting the thread to be closed.......
+1, please close this thread. This is a very stupid question and like it said there is no answer.
To the OP and based on my limited testing. I tried the Holly Grail a number of months ago and at the time it really was the Holly Grail. It was probably the best and most fully featured Leo rom of the time. I have tried Miris Leo ROM 17 and although it was very good and very well featured, it did hang on me a number of times. As I understand it, I should of carried out a number of tweaks to get the thing working correctly (note to self read the thread). Version 19 is certainly the later of the two and as I understand it features many improvements that resolve bugs, add new features and improve performance. For me my next step was to test Miri's 19 Leo. I think there are still extra steps that need to be performed to get it running 100%, something to do with rilphone.dll I think, but nothing too serious.
Take note MIRI has a number of different versions with different performance implications. As I understand it, the version with HTC messaging can slow performance, but on the other hand features HTC messaging
Hope this helps.
Your asking for users to choose between 2 roms. Some are going to say 1, some 2
Everyone has different opinions. End result may be in favour of one other the other, but you may dsiagree after trying both
Best advice try both and make your own conclusion
