Hi All
I am on R3A at the moment, which has all that I need, but I still find it very slugish and want to move to a custom ROM. Can someone who has tried the ROMs below let me know which of the 3 runs fastest for everyday tasks:
Touch X ULTIMATE 10.0 EXTREME
Touch-IT v9
Windows Mobile 6.5 for the XPERIA X1 - PURE ROM
Thanks in advance for any help.
Touch x. It is almost a perfect rom, would be perfect if it had the touch it colors and vibration
Bare is best
If have been Flashing my x1 more than 50 times and found the bare sex1 rom (Windows Mobile 6.5 for the XPERIA X1 - PURE ROM) is the on with the least bug's
Hi guys
I dont mind the odd bug here and there. But which ROM runs the fastest in your opinions?

Mmm...sorry for jumping in but i notice there is no Valkyrie's rom in your list which i thinks it is very fast and bugless.I don't know why it not in your list,may be it lack of popularity or you don't like manila+6.5? Of course other roms are great too,but i think this one is fastest/smoothest.
Why don't you try it,it just take few minits to flash (remember to hard spl first),may be you'll love it.Cheers
haven't try Valkyrie's.. but from ur list, I think Touch it 9 and gtrab's WM6.5 is faaast.. Touch X has a lag here and there sometimes but quite stable I think...
I've found gtrab's barebone ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509891 to be pretty quick to be fair. it might slow down a little if you install some apps though, I'm relatively happy atm with it as it is, I've not yet installed much.

IMHO F4810 wasn't in the least bit rude... He practically welcomed the posters to the thread, stated that he doesn't mind some bugs, and reiterated his original question.
wm 6.5 pure xperia x1 without panel, youtube and HTC staff.
I can safely say that Touch X v10 fixed and Touch IT v9 have to split the throne. Touch X does not have the sms bug though so I'd go with that one for now, just to be safe. It's actually as fast as a stock Touch Pro 2 now, it you watch some videos of TP2 on Youtube in envy, you really need to flash one of these roms, because then you get that speed ^^
I would say "barebone" roms are generally faster. Xperia's performance has always been an issue for me, slow video playbacks, sluggish video recording, etc etc.
In my opinion Touch X v10 is fast but slows down at times, eg. dismissing notifications, setting panels etc.

Dissmissal of the "Message sent" is notoriously slow to get past - you can turn it off with Advanced Config though. Setting panels I don't know about, but panels are quite a slow software overall to begin with
Definitely Touch X 10 - very fast and stable...

Thank you. I think me trying to be polite was lost in translation as being rude, but you correctly point out what I was trying to do.
Thanks for all your comments. I guess I need to check out Valkyries ROM too. I think the best thing is that I try all 4 ROMs for a few days each, and see which is best.
One last question, if I back up my ROM (R3A) as it is. Will it save all my personal settings, customisations, and installs too. So if I dont like any custom ROMS, I can go back to the exact way it was?
Thanks
F'
I agree, you weren't the least bit rude.
Anyway, please report back about your speed comparison.

Hey everyone
My x1i broke a while back and se is finally sending me a new one an x1a. i never used custom roms before I just had spb 3.0 which i liked. Now with my new phone coming tomorow i thought i would dive into the rom scene and I am trying to understand all the different roms that are out on xda.
I Was wondering if there is a thread that explain all the different roms, manila, titanium, touch-it etc etc. I cant seem to understand what each does. Is there any threads that reviews the various roms??
Can anybody recommend a rom ?? just want a stable, good looking UI, camera improvements, youtube working and all the other cool features
thanks everyone

I suggest that you read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=471 and, while you're at it, you can choose which ROM you would want to try and download it. I recommend trying Agent_47, Smaberg, NRGZ and Jackleung's ROM's as they are the best chef's out here in this forum. Flashing new ROM is so much fun and, at least for myself, quite addicting!
Laurence,
Thx for the info. From looking around again dosent seem to be a "nice" thread that discuesses the various features of different roms, but
Agen_47's Valkyrie_v2.8 FireStorm Looks pretty damn nice,
Smaberg's Xperia Touch X - isent that one outdated as last update was in like march
NRGZ - Cant find his rom
Jackleung's V4.0 Full - sounds good but no pictures reallly showing what it looks like and such, Like the dialer, big thing for me is an improved dialer cause i think the one on win 6.1 provides really is hard to use and small buttons.
So what you think?? Valkyria is the way to go ??
touch x was final wm 6.1 rom... smaberg is working now on wm 6.5 roms... but imho touch x is best wm 6.1 rom around... didnt find better... i kinda dont like wm 6.5
Its pretty obvious that people want X2 based ROMs, just look at how many more views Jerplea's ROM has even though his thread is much, much, much newer than many of the other HTC based ROMs. How come the cooks are moreso into following the HTC crowd?
The X2 rom it self, has WAYY to many bugs! and there are lots of incompatabilities to iron out!
also i believe that the x2 rom is only getting that many views as it is the only one, add all the HTC views together and compare it against the x2 rom
Bugs are likely one of the things holding people back but... the more people work on it at once, the faster the bugs get ironed out
Bugs is the first issue. The ugliness and usefulness are the 2nd and 3rd issues....
who needs x2 rom when u can do more with sense
Exactly!

Well said, I use NRGZ28's Energy Rom Energy.XPERIA.21899.Sense2.5.GTX.Themed.Apr.17 and think it is the best rom. No errors. Stunning performance (give it a min or 2 to load, then perfect and one more minute after the first text you send after turning on, after that, its brilliant.)
I updated to Cookie's home tab 1.7.1 with the editor, and customised the homescreen. its much faster, and I dont like the panel manager. The novelty of the panels wears off VERY quickly, as i find it slugish, and really quite pointless due to the number of (Better/more relevant?) sense tabs, and the lack of really informative xperia panels and speed of panels.
With Non X2 Roms, specifically Energy's (21899.Sense2.5.GTX Them .Apr.17 NOTE: I THINK APRIL 17 is the best by far.), I have a full feature set, Speed, Battery life which no other Rom apart from older 6.1 and old christians rom's gave me. P.S. Energy's Rom's look stunning!!!
I support X2 roms!! No matter how.. It's weird to have sense in my X1.. Because I'm more likely to stay in SE's style of roms since my phone is SE's X1.. X2 roms looked great and elegant for my phone.
I find slideview very useful. It's bad that it is laggy at this stage. I am hoping more clever people will work at this project and solve all the issues.
I support X2 based ROM!
Cheers!
You can say what you want but when I put my phone to my adaptor, the next day with a sense rom, my phone is freezing. No alarm. That's why I like X2. And titanium can be nice too.
but the x2 interface is buggy and slow too xD
YEah,
Anything new for the X2 is what i'm looking for! Especially Android!!

Lol! yeah, i know. I just wanted to bring out my weak voice on this thread too
By the way. Is there a way that i could compare the structure of the X1 filesystem against the X2? It came into my mind that maybe Hard SPL could work on the X2 too, evein if the hardware it's not made by HTC anymore...
Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
the clean rom ist the best and the fastest rom on xda.
the top version is better than the bottom version.
==> try clean rom top version 1
http://www.multiupload.com/IK64V7SC7D
BlackNew V
I really like BlackNew ROMs. I tried Energy ROMs, both on my Diamond and current Blackstone. They are pretty and full of apps, but slows down the machine a lot. And for speed and functionality is top priority
With BlackNew ROMs you get speed and some usefull apps
are the mods on holiday? they normally close these threads because they can be so contentious
Yep cant be long before the padlock cometh...We're not allowed to have a discussion about who likes which rom & why on here You've got to spend hours and hours, days and days trying them all yourself and going with the one you like, but remember not to post to tell anyone..

The mods will soon type something into this thread along with this line: "thread closed"
Maybe the Mods have realized that you can't close down these types of questions, hence another one will always pop up! These forums by nature produce these comparisons, so in effect they are the root cause. Can you condemn something that you are responsible for?
I love Energy Roms...I always come back to these. They just are "eye candy", and have all the features and personalization ideas that I love...but they are really designed for the HD2 which makes them "fat" on our HD units...Eg... they are 220+ MB for a ROM footprint compared to 168MB for a KWBR rom footprint. Hence the downside to me is they are generally more sluggish COMPARED to others...but they get faster as NRG keeps cooking.
KWBR's rom is quicker, but would love to see some eye candy enhancements.
Miniterror's roms are awesome...but would love to see CHT back in.
Have not tried many of the others as these guys keep producing too much quality to send me elsewhere..
I tried Kenia's BLack V, and that was awesome!! But just could not got back to the 6.1 OS...but he did a super job blending new age enhancements with the stability and speed of the older systems.
Thanks cooks
Regards
J
I don't see the problem with other people's opinion it's like feed back in one place instead of going through each thread on the ROM have one thread with feed back for all the ROM's in one place. Just an idea..
the reason why they get closed is that everybody has a different look of how a rom should lok like and what should be included in the rom
as it are opinions there cant be decided whats the best rom
also benchmarking wont be the answer as i have read that you can set some thing that the rom becomes verry slow but benchmark scores mega high that it should be the best rom
so for me the best rom is my own
i like the colors that are in and the programs and the fact its dutch
some others could like nrg rom more as they like those colors or the startmenu at the bottom builds
it all comes down to you what you want
maybe on a side note somebody can make a spreadsheet off the roms out here with the functions the roms have like startmenu at the bottom or on top
colors or default look and stuff like that
best ..
.. is your own ROM ..
My best: Blackdragon 3 Final
I tried them all, but with a windows phone speed and stability should be top priority. You can always customise your phone to your requirements. So I vote for blackdragon by Andy, as my best rom; mainly becasue of its incredible speed and stability.
I've tried most ROMs and became a bit of an NRG fan but I think there are too many changes for me to keep up with these days. It's great to try many ROMs and see what nice toys there are and also which areas of stability you need.
Been using G10's Evo v6.00 (24001) 30.06.10 for a couple of weeks and have to say I love it. Battery and connection (UK) as well as GPS for TomTom is great so I'm sticking with this for a bit.
I'm sure some great new feature or app will tempt me to try something else in the future though.
Just flash a couple a week until you get bored (by then you'll know exactly what you want) would be my best advice
Hi there,
I my opinion these are the best 3 options:
1: [ROM][WWE][10-Jul-10] Cloudy 0.4 (WM6.1)
It's one of the fastest roms on this forum but has all the features you want. It's no "clean"rom or anything like that. I see this rom as one of the "jewels" around here. I did not detect 1 bug or glitch or anything like that while using this rom for a week now.
2: Try KWBR's rom. I am a big fan of his work and his roms are usually the most stable and also very fast.
3: Go with a wm6.5 titanium rom and if you like buy spb mobile shell and customize it the way you want. I belive ram usages will go up to around 50% while using spb so you are probably not as fast as option 1 or 2.
Good hunting!
i would say again there is no such thing best rom...
read the sticky dude...
every chef has different goal on their rom release
exp
- want clean roms for fast performance ( i prefer clean rom ... )
- want stable rom less bug ( for stable i prefer stock rom )
- want best look for lastest rom release ( WM 6.5 com 5 built )
I think jude1993 just wanted people's opinion to what they liked or disliked about the ROM's. I am intrested aswell. What is the best ROM is the wrong title for this thread though, Maybe it should say your opinion of the ROM's. Just an idea
I've tried loads of different roms too....Gets very tedious Loading all your programs n contacts n messages etc..
This weekend I've tried most of NRG's latest offerings, but dear god they are slow. For me anyway I use my phone for work, not to look trendy, but to run fast, stable & smooth.
I've come from Onkologs stable of roms, so its been tricky to find a modern comparison...And I much prefer 6.5 to 6.1, but not the latest bottom button builds.
For me the fastest most stable clean rom I have come across and go back to each and every time is....
Energy.BLACKSTONE.21895.Titanium.Mar.17
Needs a bit of tweaking here n there but have not found anything to touch it for speed/fluidity/stability.
Just my opinion
Mick
this is very interesting
as i've been trying out WWE 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5sth(at least 30+ times of flashing)...i'd say i eventually chose WWE 6.1 Lite Rom. The reason why to my choice is more speed, more rom capacity, and ram usage. Well, actually most cookers here did very good job as theirs roms are stable, compatiable and fast in general, appreciated! Without considering eye candy interface, WWE 6.1 is the most fastest rom compare to WWE 6.5 or up...
All in all, there's always sth i think which hardly get solved is language patch problem. Ok say like i am chinese, hk...my rom is WWE 6.1, i'd spent some certain time trying out chinese patch which i needed to read and write chinese...some cabs installed that could read and write in chinese but then while some app running that easy to get device "hang", some apps couldn't display chinese characters properly...this is i what found so far an unresolved issue...would you agree...?
thanks
cheerz
over the past 3 days i have flashed about 5 roms Im currently trying miniterror ,but i find my self wanting to go back to the energy roms more for the eye candy
before it used to be duttys roms but now im neither here or there.
But always gravitating towards Energy the Maryone roms I have tried so many times and they always feel too slow and sluggish ...

Hi,
I recently downloaded the Xperileo rom off the xperia-unoff site.
I love the rom, its got a great interface and features. I really like the graphics of this rom and Id like to keep something like this, I think its called sense or manilla. I really dont know though its confusing.
There is one or twos problem however.
1. The phone keeps freezing, requiring me to open the back of it and use the reset button. This is dangerous as if my family calls, I may not receive the call. This absolutely needs fixing. Is there a stable rom that will not freeze or have these problems that has the same type of scrolling or a really nice GUI like this one I am using ?
2. The other problem is that the interface is pretty slow, with text messaging being really slow to respond, and menus freezing for a few seconds.
If someone could recommend a stable but attractive rom I would be very appreciative. Stability and usability are top.
Thanks
Christof
You gotta test yourself a couple of ROMs. That's the best answer.
I've tried almost every rom here.
Energy and Valkyrie are both overbloated and unstable. Xperileo is unstable as well. Almost every rom with manila sense is unstable slow and rendering it almost unusable.
Try the 826x rom, it's the best one and has most stability i've seen in a rom. ♥
Also touch x is pretty good if your looking for absolute speed on manila.

u sound like me a couple of years back..anyways..Wildchild's ROM (Unavailable here on XDA) is by far the most stable Manila (now called Sense UI) ROM.
However if u dont want a Sense UI (HTC phone interface), i would suggest XPURE III OR II.
PM me if u still have problems.
All the best.
the best solution for your problem is use the original r3a rom.fastest rom whithout any bug .stable .I've tried all xda roms,after that I back to r3a rom.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for all the replies I do appreciate it.
It sounds like Manilla is a bit unstable, which is not safe for me.
What about windows 6.5. Whats the most stable or a very stable rom with nice icons? Dont care about the manilla stuff compared to stability. Just need something that never freezes.
Thanks again
Cheers
Christof
You CAN have pretty stable Sense/Manilla interface ROMs.
It's just that they are pretty much hit or miss. One version can be stable and reliable and another, issued 3 days later (and having replaced the earlier version) can be a mess.
I just recently started flashing ROMs and my experiences have been good so far. I have mostly played with the beautiful ENERGY ROMs and some have been good, some bad.
The Sense UI may not be a speed demon, but is gorgeous and works (although something like SPB Mobile Shell might be faster - not as good looking though). But the true differnce for me is in the speed of programs running. For me they work MUCH faster under ENERGY ROMs then on the stock ROM. This is most noticable with my GPS software which was slow, laggy and unstable under stock ROM, while is very reliable and works great under ENERGY ROMs.
My advice is to just find a good ROM that suits you and keep it, rather then enter the constant reflashing cycle. Some Sense ROMs are very stable.

With Sense UI: WildChild's ROM.
Without SEnse UI (Windows 6.5.x) : Russell Eclair XPure II or even III (im using this right now, its pretty good)

I find Russell Eclair XPure II to be a little slow compared with jerpelea's X2 port.
The only issue I have with jerpelea's ROM is the first times someone is calling me. I can' answer the phone and I have to pull out the battery. But after 1-2 days it works like a champ (without using Slideview, the X2 addition to panels).
If you want something fast and stable look for a clean ROM (like Laurenti's ROM, 23.08.2010 version used for 2 weeks with no problem, and really fast) or R3A ROM.
Cheers!

Try the Xpure III with the freeze fix given..It wil solve all your problems...I am using it myself...had the same problem as u..used the freeze fix and flashed XPure III NOT II...
I still maintain that Touch X 10.1 is the best rom out there.
It does exactly what I need. Great battery life, great speed and never had a freeze or SOD with it (EVER!).
Yes the graphics are a little outdated but I am willing to put up with that in exchange for the 3 above.

Just a Question: Do you hard reset after flashing the phone?
Yes, I always hard reset my phone after flashing.
for me dis ROM 826x WM 6.5.3 build 23680 - Sense 2018 is d fastest & quite stable..u still will exp wit sod once in a while but for me dis rom really worth trying..
