Hey guys
Have been using Dutty's WinMo6.1 ROMs for a while now, and keen to try out a 6.5 ROM. Anyone have any thoughts on the fastest, most stable 6.5 ROM currently available? Dutty's, Miri's, Energy...?
Would appreciate any advice on good 6.5 ROMs
Thanks!
This one is my favourite

Seriously guy? They're all good, just download one and try it out, or better yet read one of the threads about the particular rom you're interested in. No one else can tell you how it will work for you!
PS. All threads asking "best", "fastest", "most stable" etc get shut down! Do a search in this forum to see why!
*Edit: Lol homer!!!
wow, helpful responses. thanks a lot
You're most welcome!
your question is like asking, what is the best car to drive? What is the nicest country to live? At a movie theater which arm rest is yours? Where does the toe-tag go on a dead person if they don't have toes? How far east can you go before you're heading west? What's the difference between normal ketchup and fancy ketchup?
EDIT: Why do they call him Donkey Kong if he is not a donkey?
You simply dont get get it!
It is all speculation since everybody using the ROM their criticing will comment its the best and the fastest etc until there's a war of: This is best and that is best ROM! The only way to know is to try them and then decide yourself! Next time follow the guidelines, this is not Question and Answers!
Actually, no, it's not. Speed and reliablity are things you can quantitatively measure, and therefore compare on the basis of. If I'd asked, 'what's the best ROM', then fair enough. But I asked for opinions on the fastest and more reliable 6.5 ROM. Those are measurable things, and I was also interested in people's opinions.
I'm not sure why you're being so defensive.
I think you just don't get it. Fastest/More stable is very relative. Fastest for me doesn't mean fastest for you. More stable for me doesn't mean ore stable for you.. It's depends on how you use the phone or what application you use the most.
Just try to flash one 6.5 ROM and try it out. if you don't like it, you can always revert back to 6.1 ROM. Use Sashimi or other backup program to restore your settings if you think flashing is a chore..
ROM Benchmarks in this forum, at the top with the "Sticky" label: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190
If you go a few pages in this rom development forum you will find TONS of threads asking the exact same thing; Which rom fast? stable? etc etc!!
Thanks for the link xmsnx, I'll check it out.
I guess the fact there are 'benchmarks' suggests you CAN compare ROMs, despite what others seems to think...
Cheers
You simply still dont get it!
Hi Guys,
It has been a while that i flashed my rom since Dutty has left us.
I am wondering wich cooker come closest to Dutty. I know that a Rom is a personal thing.
I am running sense 2.1 holy grail r01 now some improvements on new roms.
Well before this thread gets quickly locked down
There are plenty of good chefs here at least as good as Dutty ever was . Read the threads, see what bugs are being experienced, see what type of roms appeal to you and try a few out. As you rightly said they are personal things, so what appeals to one may not be to your liking.
Edit: The more experienced ones for Blackstone are miri, nrg with some newer chefs such as XannyTech, Flashmore, Hello Nasty amongst others (no offense intended to anyone I left out ) and they all do great jobs.
Xannytech roms are very...very good.

Not a fair question to ask as all chefs put a lot of effort in there Roms and to start ranking chefs is really deminishing there work while highlighting only one. That's not the goal of this thread.
Suggestion: Flash a couple of Roms and be your own judge. Visit the chefs thread and do some reading helps as well.
Good luck in your voyage....
I have tried, and i recommend:
-Laurentius26: Really smooth and stable
-NRGZ28: Really good looking. Includes a lot of apps and good theme.
A simple thing to do is:
1. Back up your current ROM (using Sprite and PIM Backup). That way, in case you don't like what you see with whatever you're trying, you can simply go back to the ROM and reload Sprite and PIM files.
2. Load up Sashimi with all the cabs you use (to device and storage card)
3. Download whatever ROM you're going to try out (don't forget to hard reset after loading)
4. Load up Sashimi to load all programs, restore your PIM file
and you're done.
That's what I do...it's all a matter of trial and preferences. Sure, some time is invested in finding the ROM you like, however, I'm sure that everyone would agree that once they find "IT", it's makes for a more enjoyable experience in using their phone.
There will be one or two things you don't like about a ROM, but isn't that a fact of life, that nothing is ever perfect???
As much as Dutty is a great chef, there are plenty of others chefs which are just as good, possibly better so its unfair to these chefs that put so much hard work in that you ask this question. Users also have loyalties so will obviously recommend there favourites. Everyone has different opinions and as such there is no real answer.
Best advice is to backup and flash some yourself to make your own conclusion

In post number 6469 a Senior Member (Raptordin) has suggested that Manila 2.5 can be cooked with 6.1.
I don't like nagging cooks for specific features in ROMs because they do such a great job at perfecting the ones they have started...
BUT, I though I would throw this out to the wider community and ask if anyone is contemplating developing a 6.1 ROM which utilizes Sense 2.5. If you think about it it makes perfect "sense" (pardon the pun) since, I assuming, you a using the operating system the device has been optimized for.
Any thoughts? Or are we just dreaming !!!
Cheers

I also vote for this combination. What are the problems of using it?/6.1+2.5/
thanks
yeah that would be awesome!

Miri already did this...it is discontinued now.

I did not do this myself but maybe you can get a pre prepared kitchen from another device and remodulate it for Blackstone.
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595380
and you can also use the sources in this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580350as it has both 2.1 and 2.5 for Blackstone.
And ofcourse you can read all what could help you in this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515824 as sparkienl is one of the biggest chefs for Blackstone and he is very helpful when you ask meaningfull questions he is always ready to reply with suitable answer.

Thank you for the reference material - Might give me a new obsession to annoy the wife with....This boy might learn to cook.....

There are several ROMs out there for the Captivate which makes it difficult to select one. Yes I know I could just try each one, but maybe we could have a voting thread. This way it would a least give someone like myself a place to start.
I'm sure all the ROMs are great in their own way. If we can start a thread like that, or just use this one, I'd like to see which ROM the person is voting for along with the reason why they think it's the best one.
It would also be nice to have a locked thread that's only editable by the ROM developer to describe his or her ROM. This would also make it easier to select a ROM to use.
That's why screen shots really help me choose which ROM to try. I don't care if it's the dev or just someone who has tried the ROM and wants to post how it looks. Yes, I want the ROM to be snappy, but I also care about the UI.
I like your idea, but it's almost like asking what flavor of ice cream (or froyo? ) is the best: everyone has an opinion and no one is truly 100% correct since it all boils down to personal preference.

Sorry guys we dont do best rom threads or voting polls as there is No BEST rom just best for you. I am gonna close this up as if you would have done a search you would have found the thread that was already started and closed.
Hi
What custom ROM would you say is the fastest one out there. Does not matter if its 6.1 or 6.5, just need it to be fast.
Many thanks
826x or dynamics 2.0 any of these i'm currently using 826x latest build and it is blazing fast xD
how about "test them yourself?!"
and how about "ask in the right forum?!" this isn't exactly a dev-related question.
oh, and the fastest rom with what? with sense? without? bare-rom? or do you want applications installed? questions like "which is the fastest?" are pretty useless. or the best. or the most stable.
and above all, they're just plain lazy!
just go and flash the roms that are actively developed. there aren't that many left these days. noone knows how you use your phone and you don't know how other people use their phones. or how many roms they've tried before saying "this is the best".
Well
If you want fast for X1 stay with the original ROM (6.1). It was design for this device so you will get the least bugs and SOD's.
As for me I used Energy and couple other ones, they were OK but after having my device replaced I never got back to flash custom ROM.
I heard 826x is good and so is Dynamics 2.0 (this Dynamics will be releasing new ROM soon...so he said).
@caliban2
I thought this was user friendly forum there is no need for your replay like that.
I agree that every one is using their device different way, but can you image what would happen if people would not voice their opinion? This world would go to crapper dude.
Every opinion counts and maybe you are tech savvy, not every one is, and even you were not born that way, you had to ask questions. Right?
We all make mistakes as some point in our lives, little pointers the right directions are good, but comments like yours don't make friends.
Also I though that in order to ask question in dev forum you need to be some sort of level (like 10 post or something like that).
Like the old saying goes "If you don't have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all."

wrong.
i had to search & read a lot before becoming the 47th person asking the same question again - i think there's something in the rules about that. and how many "best rom/fastest rom"-threads are there now? aren't those in general / q&a section enough? and don't tell me this thread has anything to do with if someone's "tech-savvy"...
but hey, if you guys are happy going through the same topic over and over again - have fun!

Thank you, see was that so hard?
P.S.
As new ROMs are being create "the same topics" are not exactly the same...like ford is not the same this year as it was couple of years back....or even last year.
good thing is:
i don't get any of the bugs reported in here. but then, i'm not really running the same rom.

Does this look familiar? If last year ROMs are as good as this year, why are you using ultrashot kitchen to create new ROM?
Why Energy is updating his every few days?
Why not use jerpelea last years kitchen?
See my point?
in my opinion best custom ROM for X1 is gtrab's SEX1 Pure ROM
It's WM6.5 with Titanium and all XPeria stuff (without Sense). Zero weird customizations, just OS upgrade from WM6.1 to WM6.5.

don't get condescending. i don't think i need your permission or approval, hm?
it ain't hard at all. but at least keep it in the right forum, not dev.
why am i using dynamic-kitchen? because itje stopped cooking, i was using ervius kitchen after that and when ultrashot released his, he made it easy for me to make the switch to osbuilder.
you see? has nothing to do with "last years roms are still good". where did i say that anyway? but what's strange is that in these "best rom"-threads always very old roms are recommended: gtrab stopped cooking a long time ago, and now even stock is good?!
for the rest it simply comes down to personal taste. and how stable a rom is. so, what does it tell you if i say "in the past 2 years i never had a stable rom from agent47, gtrab, nrg or 826x etc. only itje and ultrashot made everyday-roms"?
right, it tells you nothing. because your experience and demands are different. also, saying "this is the best rom of them all" is quite demeaning to all the other cooks which provide you with a choice, don't you think?
but to keep with the thread:
from reading the last few pages of the active rom-threads, it looks like dynamics is the most stable combined with the latest software. 826x-series seems also fast and stable. oh, wait. now it's down again to personal taste, right?

Heheh...you are funny.
Thanks guys for taking the time to reply to my question. And yes, maybe the question was not clear enough when i wrote it for some people.
I am looking for the fastest custom, dont need any preinstalled programs or any fancy things. Its gonna be used on a device to remote control the PC, so the only thing i will be needing is a VNC program, and that i can download by myself.
I actually searched the forums for a related topic before i started this one, and could not find any that was up to date enough. This topic is not like the other ones where people ask "whats the best rom", i am looking for a specific thing in the rom, it needs to be fast.
Anyhow, thanks for the tips for those that replied.
@caliban2, I am looking for other peoples opinons on what they think the fastest rom is, that is one of the things a forum is for, to hear other peoples opinons. Yes, i can test every single rom out there, but i thing its just better to check with the people more involved in the recent roms out there, thus this sub-forum.
that's indeed a different approach... ^^
sounds like you need just a fast barebone phone, with no fancy stuff at all and as much free resources as possible. in that case i think stockrom should be the best choice. winmo 6.1 is less demanding than 6.5, performance-wise.
so either stock or find an old custom-rom from 6.1-era (year 2009; there were a few, gtrab did such stuff and agent47 had one as well, iirc), where most apps were removed and nothing from htc has been added. you could also dump stockrom, remove stuff you don't need and re-cook your own barebone.
and of course, you can always go for a more recent 6.5-barebone, but 6.1 should be the optimum.
well a really fast ROM would be one running a bare WM6.1 or 6.5.x
you could try PURE. his ROMs are very minimalistic and emphasize on speed and functionality. and in my opinion they are very stable too. dont expect TF3D or sense though.
even ENERGY has very minimalistic ROMs. and since he has skinned various versions, u can choose the best one for you.
check these links out and see which u like.

some people just get frustrated and angry sitting whole day long in front of their PC´s and phones it seems. Its a simple question and im here because i have also the same question. Someone whith a brain would start answering wit firts 6.5 or 6.5.3, of course bare , and which one is the fastest. Fast comes from speed and can be interpreted as a lack of delay or retardness, also. Anyhow if you want to give usefull answers or help with your knowledge then proof showing your angor to some real people ine real life.
Best Rom is Dynamics 2.1.
Best ROM
In my opinnion it is the x826 ROM. Before this rom is used the Energy Rom but, batterie life is not good with this rom, so I installed x826 ROM, it was faster, and more batterie friendly and I never had any error or freeze.
In my opinnion it is the x826 ROM
826x and happy camper. Been using it for about 2 months and it's working just fine for me.
i think official rom the best but energyRom and 826x is nice rom too,,,,
I tried almost every rom.but the best in speed with good programs is dynamics 2.2.0...u must forget about sense,the best with sense is 826x but have some problems.energy is full of useless programs
