Can anyone cook me a rom? Be happy to buy a crate of beer for someone who can?

Ok......
I bought my X1 in Taiwan, with the intention of flashing to an english rom, because i obviously haven't a clue about chinese, and english langue ones are not available here.
I've been flashing custom roms for a while, both on the X1 and on my old Wallaby and Ef's but havent found anything that ever really suits my needs.
I like the windows 6.5 roms, but WVGAfix doesnt seem to work with any of the builds despite saying it does which kinda makes all 6.5 obsolete for me because of the amount of software that doesnt work with a WVGA screen.
Which leaves 6.1. I have tried loads different 6.1 builds, but find there are certain things that always stop me wanting to keep them.
So my question is can anyone build a rom that is almost a light rom, that just has a few essential elements built in. One that might last me a couple of months, or at least until Mobile 7 is released as opposed to reflashing every few days. I have looked into cooking, but simply dont have the time with work to really get good at it. It drives me nuts having to reinstall everything and sync contacts every time i flash a new rom.
If i was going to build my own ROM i would be looking for a lite and fast 6.1 build that has to me what i would consider some essential apps cooked in.
Manilla
USB popup
Advanced config
Radio
Audio Booster
Htorch
All the finger friendly features
Xperia R3A Camera to replace the HTC camera within manilla.
MSN Push mail (not messanger)
Specifically i would really like to avoid all the things that are updated regularly, such opera, youtube, facebook, google maps etc, and all the things which would seem to me to be a waste of space / speed, such as
MP3 trimmer, panel manager and additional panels.
Basically a stripped lite Rom, with manilla and its associated features.
I have tried flashing lite roms, and installing manilla, but its a real hastle, and never gets as good a results as some of the outstanding chefs here. I can't be alone in wanting a rom like this? so i guess my last question is....is anyone up for the task or am i about to get flamed for something i should be doing myself?

I don't do custom rom for others but my medium rom seems to fits most of your requirement. (How can you call it a "lite" rom if you need manila that has thousands of file?)

UPS
I was just going to recommend you trying Jack's Medium

hee hee, I will recommend yrs and Itje's if he is asking for 6.5.

Oddly enough i have just tried Jacks 3.6 medium rom and its very fast.....i like it......keep testing for a few days and see how it goes, but looks real good so far!!
Jack - You're right in that i suppose with manilla in it isnt a light rom, but i would define anything that goes into a light rom as something that is necessary for the operation of the phone. As windows mobile 6.1 is BUTT ugly and finger unfriendly, i would classify manilla or equivalent as something that is pretty necessary!

I tend to think otherwise, you're right with wm6.1 being finger unfriendly. And there is lots of stuff (ie manila, spb mobile shell, eg) that can help you with that. And the choice is rather personal, something you would add later into a lite rom according to your needs.
(little remark, I'm not a manila fan so maybe a bit judged)

Looking for a specific sort of ROM...

Searching appears to have failed me, but I'm looking for a up to date, optimized (recent drivers etc), Manila/Sense LACKING 6.1 ROM for the Xperia.
Could anyone provide some guidance with that? I can't really find any
EDIT: To clarify, thats a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM without manila or sense UI

Maybe you should look at the forum? Searching specific terms won't give any good results back.. These roms basically plague the forum, i dont know how you could not find ANY

And that's just the first page

6.1, not 6.5 I'm aware of the huge amounts of 6.5 ROMs

Bad grammar is bad
Even if there's manila/sense, you dont have to enable them.. no different tbh

List of stock roms with link somewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482

Hi,
I can maybe try to cook something like that for you... you want other apps included (youtube, facebook, etc.) or totally clean?
Do you want X1 panel manager installed? Any X1 panels?
Will post a link here if I get it cooked...
-Oobly

the stock roms aren't too bad, but i can only think of two 6.1 roms without manilla/ sense;
norti nx1i 1.04

i've used this and can recommend it
bxsteez lite 1.05
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475083
otherwise, as mentioned it could be worth trying some of the established 6.1 touchflo roms and just disable touchflo. 'pctech4u' and 'touch x' come to mind. check out the rom library, ther might be more

I am on an own-cooked ROM which I can upload for you, or anybody else.
WM6.1 build 21051, no manila, no panels, some little apps that are useful for me and some selected HTC staff like enlarge start menu, volume control, FM-radio etc
I am using it for the last 2 months and it's very fast and stable. Perfect for SPB MS users.
I cannot provide any support though. No much time. Normally you won't need any.

Hope you enjoy it.
As everyone here says, hardspl your device first and flash at your own risk.

Which ROM?

Hi everyone,
I'm the (proud?) owner of a HTC Blackstone 'Touch HD', and nowadays I don't know what to think about my phone. Of course, I've done all the flashing and tweaking, but it's still not satisfying me. Although the Blackstone Android development seems very promising to me, I also have my doubts about a 'final' build in the future.
The real problem I have is slow texting, Opera opening slow and I am just dealing with an in-responsive system.
The HTC Touch HD is obviously a very slow phone, having tried different ROMs (Topix, Energy, Miri, Dutty and some more), both Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. I fell in love for the agenda of 6.5 (the Sense edition, I have no clue if it's implanted in WM), so I don't want to ever go back to 6.1. Though, I realize that, if I want a faster phone, I should probably go back and downgrade my phone. What I am looking for is a ROM which satisfy me with speed and agility (no restarts all the time, because memory is slipping), and can provide me my valuable agenda in a pleasant way.
I would like if some of you could give me some valuable advise. Because I'm about to throw my phone in the trashcan.
Before you are confronting me with some of the greatest ROMs; I'm not 'really' in love with Sense UI, and if turning it off and using the standard WM 6.5 menu, speeds up my phone, I will do it. But is the build-in agenda satisfying enough for my needs?
In the far future I probably will buy an iPhone 3GS (4G?), just for the fact that is a phone which doens't crash and goes slow all the time. I will be throwing a little tweaker inside of me away, sadly.
Regards,
Aram (the Netherlands)
Currently using: Miri WM 6.5 | 18.0 WWE with Manila version 2.5.19222911.0 and Radio version 1.17.25.09 (should I update this?). Using an Exchange-server for my e-mail and agenda (Google Mail)!

Did you try searchig for a Calendar-Agenda Application to install before Upgrading or downgrading your phone's core software? Custom Rom don't bring anything new that Blackstone could do already as it came out of the box, imho. Then again other people do like to customize it a lot. if you do want to bin your phone, send it my way, I'll give it a home.

What I really liked about the WM6.5 roms was and still is the fact that in a single click I can look up my appointments and notes.
You are quite right about the 'why would you flash'-thing. Sometimes I've the feeling that I really downgraded my phone, instead of giving it the boost I intended to.

Again this is an opinionated query which is frowned upon in XDA as people will have different views on which is best creating endless long threads with no real result. For these reasons I am closng this thread

Parental guidance for new rom required

i just got a x1. These are the details:
OS version
5.2.28008
manilla version
2.1.19202517.0
rom version
1.05.931.21 WWE
Radio version
1.14.25.15
im happy with the interface. but i find a bit slow and pulling when operating. my display keyboard acts weird from time to time and program to program. my sliding keyboard cannot be used on opera. it changes tab after typing a letter. i cant add favourites on opera.
So i need a better rom. what are my options ?
- is there wm7 available for x1 ?
- can u suggest me the best roms available in wm6.5 ?
- what is the speciality of the "generic" roms ? why should i use that ?

so it's a used x1 that already has a custom rom on
1. no, only up to wm6.5.x builds as of now
2. no, as I don't have an idea what you want from that rom (speed, eyecandy, smoothness, latest tech, cooked in apps,...?) and what your core areas of usage will be; I like to advice on reading the first post of rom threads you might like, there you find what the chef is cooking for and cooking with, get some screen shots and a general impression; then try some and decide for yourself, best way, believe me
3. they are faster as they are only wm6.1, nothing ported from other devices (like e.g. wm6.5), no (or little) apps cooked in,... not much to play with either
cheers

[Q] Few basic questions please! For X1

I love this forum it has been helpful. But I am still new at a lot of this.
I have installed a few ROM'S on my X1. I have the Energy reference ROM right now, trying to keep the weight down on it.
I have searched a lot and haven’t found any definitive answers for the following questions.
I would like to have a Rom that is based on the Touch Pro 2. My wife has a TP2 that was bought unlocked unbranded. It is still running a stock ROM. I know its WM 6.5 but not sure about the sense version it has. I believe it’s an older version. On the People tab it is more like a flip picture for the contacts. And also the music and mail tabs.
Is there a list or reference chart that gives details on version numbers? And how to tell what version a stock ROM is?
Thank you.

I think the build number i.e. 29001 is build number of Windows Mobile that's not the WM Version. so 29001 is newer than 28000 but both of them is WM6.5.5. There's a connection between that number (so proper range is showing the version of WM) i.e. 25xxx-29xxx is WM6.5.5 or 21xxx-23xxx is WM6.5.1, but I'm not a devs so I don't know much about it exactly. If you want to flash from one chef (person/people who make ROM i.e. 826x ROM by Willyung, Russell Eclair ROM buy Russell Eclair), just choose the higher one because it means that the WM is also upgraded and updated to the max power and functionality.
Stock ROM is an original ROM from manufacture- Sony Ericsson. While Custom ROM isn't officially coming out from SE but it is cooked (made) by some kind and genius person/s.
Stock ROM is used in case you want to restore your phone to an original condition for proper purpose i.e. claiming for warranty.
Hope this is helpful...

Thank you for the info.
I think what I am after is a basic 6.5 ROM that matches the TP2 pretty close. Minus all the extra stuff that drags it down.
I like the way the sense feels better than the newer updated ones. Might be bugs but that is ok.
I don’t use the phone to any great usage, just basic calls, very very few text and GPS.
This is the info off the TP2 maybe someone might be able to know what’s what off it.
