There is so much variety out there. It really depends what you want to get from your device. Just have a look through the ROM section and pick out one with what you need.
Personally I use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740252
It's the fastest and most stable ROM I've tried yet.
Cheers for that yeh i been looking it seems there loads to pick from,ime just getting my head round how to flash one,i have flashed it but not the mtty way so just reading how to do it that way.. dont seem as easy maby ime missing some thing..

Hey everyone,
Im using an old DUtty's rom (he hasnt made any in a while). I am wanting to flash with something new, but just about every one of the roms these days seem to be Manilla.
My question is, what is it like? at first glance i dont really like the idea of it.

EDIT: and are you able to turn it off so it goes back to the htc home or whatnot?
i really like it, im using garmins with the opal dialer, easily customized with all the skins out there, (see development and hacking), much more useful to me than htc home, which i guess got old, just like the cube. my two cents,

Thanks.
What about how it lists emails/sms's? does it just use that silly preview where u have ot go through each one? or can you open it to list the emails?
Cheers
Just flash one You can open it to see them all, or you can scrll through them all.
alright, u guys convinced me!
Going to flash one tonight,
any suggestions?
want one that doesnt lag, and landscape works (i use the keyboard for all typing)
Well... after doing some reading and watching a couple of you tube videos on the diamond I decided to have a play. I picked up a new boxed locked to orange uk htc diamond from fleabay for £160 inc postage... bargain I thought.
Things I've already done..
The first thing was to get it unlocked so I can use my O2 sim in it. This cost £14 via a site on here.. donation I believe goes to this site. I did download some unlocks via torrents and newgroups but at £14 (15 euros) and knowing the moneys going to someone who deserves it.. I decided to pay + its very simple and straightforward to do. Within 5 minutes I had a working phone on O2 ;-) Huzzah!
Then I sync'd it to my outlook that my iphone uses so I then had a full copy of my current contact's. I have added my email on imap4 to sync every 5 minutes.
Software wise I downloaded tomtom 7.910.9185 VGA Black and some Western Europe 1GB 815.2024 maps and 'got' them working (I already own 3 tomtom devices so I figured they have already had enough money off me for now). uploaded the latest uk speedcam files which I pay for from pocket thingy site and postcodes for good measure. Just tried it on the way to work and got a lock in under a minute which is very acceptable. This is a big plus in my eye's for the HTC over the iphone.. anyway.
Speed improvements - I then found some posts and a little you tube video on how to speed up the touchflo. There were three things you do in your settings (disable beams / disable quick menu on today screen and something else). I then downloaded the advanced config software from here and adjusted my memory cache / filter .. WOW what a difference doing this made.. major improvements !
So then whats next ? I used to use facebook alot and share prices so need to find some apps for them.. but I really can't believe I'm thinking about giving up my iphone...
Are there any apps or things that you could recommend to improve this phone anymore ?

Not sure if you know this but the diamond 2 has a new version of TFLO and XBOX and friends are trying to port it over to the diamond. Everyone and anyone who owns a diamond and knows about this is waiting patiently for this.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486471
Before changing ROM's or Radio's a HARD SPL is required to protect your device from being bricked.
Read the basics of upgrading here....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
If you are just looking for simple upgrading, like APP's the here.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=441
Just read as much as you can.
UDK has a facebook built in to his ROM!
there is a bbc iplayer which works well you need a copy of coreplayer to use it tho! just search for it
there are pleanty of other useful apps here
flashing a cooked ROM is better any number of tweaks on a standard ROM !
thanks fellas for the advice
I stuck on HardSPL 1.43 and decided to have a play with one of the rom's.. after lots of reading I decided to try v6.4FullHDTFl .. this rom seems to have a good following and I am very impressed with it so far.
would you say this is a good choice ?
I have also seen all the porting work being done on from the D2... looking forward to an updated rom for that.. I have noticed you can download cab files for apps from the D2 would you advise on any for my current rom ?
top forum.. been a member for 5 years.. lol really pushing my posts this year.. lol

yeah thats i how i choose my ROMs ! the ones with the most followings are usually the better (i think). i personaly am a UDK follower although i have tried almost all other roms, some of which are as good
Hey i'm new here and I could use some help =]
First is that I currently use N95 but next week i'll get my first HTC which is Diamond, and for the first time i'll be using WinMO6.1 instead of Symbian.
So the first thing I do is research, and then I found out this place which I can already see that i'll be spending some good time tweaking my diamond, but after reading countless threads about ROMs and RADIOs and such I still don't get a few things, if you could explain it to me, I would be grateful.
1.Which ROMs are better? cooked (which I understand are user based) or the HTC ones?
2.I Currently live in israel, so hebrew is an important part of my day, so it goes without saying that I need to be able to read and write english. I Don't want the OS to be in hebrew, but atleast beeing able to read and write, so my question is, if I'll flash another ROM instead of the offical one i got from Orange (which contain hebrew), will I lose this option? and if I will, will i be able to install it again?
3.I Understand that the basic UI provided with the diamond is the Touchflo3D, but I also read something about Manilla, and another shell I can't remmember, would anyone care to explain to me about these shells? I Saw one shell that looked exactly like HTC Hero, but it wasn't Android OS, just the UI, Was that Manilla?
and my final request is this, this phone has been around for a long time , so naturally there are alot of ROMs for it and alot of tweaks, softwares and stuff like that, if someone can direct me to the most updated, trusted and stable releases i'd be very grateful!, I need the diamond to have decent battery, good signal, good music player (very important for me) and if possible, i'd love the Theme that looks like the HTC Hero OS .
Thanks to anyone who spent time on reading all of this and I can't wait to get my hands on the diamond
P.S
Sorry for my english by the way.
Hi all, new here and very interested in Kaiser customization and modding!
My very basic question is...what is really the BEST WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Kaiser? My model is the ATT Tilt...dont think that matters though.
I have installed a few different ROMs and while some of them are OK most have UI problems (weird side orientation, stretch icons, very unresponsive touch commands, etc...) and just dont seem to work "right" for lack of a better word.
Ive been searching for just the plain jane vanilla WinMo 6.5 ROM as I am looking to get just the basic OS and install the programs I want and need...not what someone else thinks is good. I cant seem to find one though...all the "vanilla" versions of ROMs Ive found seem to still have unnecessary programs (RAM cleaner, various themes, unresponsive programs, etc...) and aren't really "vanilla"...
Also, as a side question...when I was researching about flashing my phone a lot of people said to make sure to note my radio version and what not...except for each ROM Ive tried my radio information and everything else associated with it havent change...is this normal? I must admit that I currently do not use ATT and cant test the phones working status (got the phone via trade) and was wondering if the original radio version still the same, it should work no problem right?
Thanks to everyone that is willing to help a n00b!
Well, as far as BEST is concerned...there really is no best ROM out there...this question has been asked time and time again on more than likely everyone of these forums on XDA, and the answer is always the same. Keep flashing until you find one that YOU like and that suits YOUR everyday needs. I for example like the fully loaded STAXX STYLES WM 6.5.1 ROM...which you may end up hateing because of all the preinstalled stuff. Just flash a bunch of different ones until you find what you like.
And in regards to your radio question...some ROMs include an upgraded or different radio, and some do not. Most of the time the recommended radio ROM will be listed on the ROMs download thread. Different runs of the Kaiser require different radio ROMs in order for WiFi, GPS, GPRS and the camera to function. So basically, flash to a ROM that you wan't to try, and test it with the radio ROM that you already have installed. If everything functions correctly, there is no real reason to change it. If something does NOT function, try flashing to the radio ROM that the ROM cook reccomends...and if none is recommended simply use the latest one.
The best ROM is subjective and a personal opinion..
The best thing you can do is look @ popular threads and see what's peoples opinions, then flash, flash, flash till you find the ROM your happy to use for everyday purpose.
Just as we do with all best ROM threads, thread closed.
I am looking for sugestions of Roms that have.... well nothing in them. I use SPB Shell and want to get a rom that doesnt waste more space for me with sence, Touch flo, titanium, or any other BIG picture software. Not complaining about them, as they are great i just want to see how my diamond will run with just the basics (my basics). I haven't had much luck finding anything as even the "clean" or "lite" roms have one of those apps cooked in (and no I am no good at cooking, tried a couple times gave up) can anyone sugest a good rom for my situation (or even a couple of them
