Tired of switiching ROM'S. What's your solution?

Hey guys,
Everytime I switch to a rom that is expected to be really good I end up with a laggy, slow, buggy device.
I tried almost every rom on this site and nothing really works for me.
I am looking for a ROM that is stable and somewhat up-to-date. Maybe manilla 2.1 or something. I really don't like all the new LEO roms, they are SO slow and buggy I don't even understand how some of you can deal with them.
What's the secret? or is my device just faulty and slow?
Can you name a ROM that you found to be fast and not too ugly? I also need 'some' eyecandy. Speed is of course the most important aspect.
Kind Regards
Thomas

Touch X 10.1 is the way to go...very stable, fast and looks good (especially the MrRusch blue theme).
I've tried many of the roms on this forum but yet always flash back to Touch X 10.1. If there was ever a perfect 6.1 rom this is it

Same here -tried almost every rom - jack v3.11 using now fast, smooth, no freezes. With HDwall you can change background see screenshots: http://mackosorbar.extra.hu/sex1.htm

Yep, jack v3.11, then either use the included TF3D or use SPB Mobile Shell.

I found Touch X 10.1 to be a dream really but I hoped that all the new stuff will help create a comprehensive rom that is also fast. I must have been mistaken. Some of those highly rated roms out there are a TRUE nightmare. I just don't get why people seem to like them.
When you try to navigate from one TF3D tab to another you get stuck 200 times + it randomly gets really laggy and then you have to restart.
I think I wll give jack a try.

the reason many are slow and buggy are because the manilla nd lots of other things in them are not actually finished by HTC yet nor is wm6.5.x!
wait for manila 2.5 and wm6.5.x to actually complete before you flash another rom if you want ultimate stability!
i lcan live with it because, well i'm a flashaholic

Not to mention you can't really judge a rom based on a version.
One day the rom will work pretty well, the next day it's a new build + new manila, etc, etc and it has entirely different problems.

My solution is to cook my own rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564743
As you know many chefs cook their roms based on what they like, not what users want. After all, everyone has different needs and the chefs cannot customize a rom for everyone. That's why I also released my source kitchen for customization.
Are you looking for WM6.1 or WM6.5 - based rom? I can find you some manila 2.1 packages and put into my kithcen so you can start customizing.

deleted (eh? wassup with this thread?)

Hey Exxi,
I think you have to realise that WM6.5 and the new manila are both in beta. This is really an explosive combination.
For example I have found that pure WM6.5 roms are rather stable. You can use SPB Mobile shell or PoinUI and all will be fine.
Some WM6.5 + Manila 2.1.19 roms are quite stable (I said quite), usually the 23016 builds.
All the Leo roms tend to have issues.
There are many reasons for this, none of which can be attributed to the cooks. In effect the cooks do a fantastic job at making the Leo ROMs as good as they are. I have great respect for them.
As everyone said, TouchX 10.1 is your best shot. That ROM is a work of art.
If you want an upgrade from that, you can try the WM6.1 + Manila 2.1.19 ROMS, such as Jack v.3.11 and TouchX 10.5/10.6. If you want more Eye candy, play around with some nice themes, add some applications.
Alternatively get yourself a squeaky fast WM6.5 rom (23016 or even 23053...or the recently released WM6.5 One off) and use SPB mobile shell + SPB Phone suite + Various resco apps. The result can be quite pleasing.
Alternatively, you can try becoming a Titanium expert. I personally have failed miserably at that...but again...I hear it can be quite pleasing.
P.s. One final word, I have been watching closely the WM6.5 + Manila 2.1.19 ROMs. I would like to point out that while there still is a noticeable difference in performance with the WM6.1+ Manila 2.1.19 ROMs, this gap is closing up rather quickly.

NRGZ28 manila 2.1 roms
Try NRGZ28 2.1 manila roms. Fase and stable. Few things to complain. Last version is 22.09.2009 standard 2.1. Works best for me.
G.

Here too, i tried a lot of roms during the first couple of months with my X1, then when i found TouchX 10 then 10.1 i stayed with them, now once a month i flash to one of those Beta 6.5 or Leo roms to see if i ever can find a new stable fast rom, but most of the times i get back to TouchX 10.1 after a couple of hours.
now i moved to TouchX 10.5 which is as much stable as the TouchX 10.1, the best ROMs ever
and my trick to do everything fast is to backup the entire rom before trying some other rom with SPB Backup, then when i reflash back to TouchX 10.1 i just do a full restore and i am back productive as before, all settings and apps are back in their place..

This is a good approach. I find myself returning to TouchX 10.1 all the time, too. I have finally managed to curb my flashing habit and only flash when I find a ROM that seems to have something I REALLY want to try.
Right now I am using Valkyrie 3.8.53 Leo since it allows me to use the latest version of the Dusk theme which I had to try out. Looks fantastic and it seems that the ROM is almost at the same usability level as Touch X 10.1 now, but not quite.
I don't think it will take much longer for manila 2.5 to be working as well as 2.1 and the latest builds of WM6.5 are also almost as good as 6.1. Still some teething issues, the biggest for me being the WM6.5 volume adjuster app which sucks IMHO.

The short but crude answer would be: stay away from Windows Mobile
No really, it's getting better by the day so there's hope.
Personally, I use mobilevu's V-Lite 4.3. It's a little older but works like a charm.
Titanium only, but I combine this with SPB 3 so I have a stable and snappy X1!

I keep hitting the same brick wall over and over again.
In long term, SE stock R3 tends to be most stable and bug-free. Jack's has been faster, but it has it's own share of bugs.
So after trying out about 10 ROMs every few months i land back on stock ROM and just customize it a bit.

TouchX 10.1, Is the Chosen One.

Using Valkirie 2.9 Firestorm. For me it's best ROM, i'm using this ROM already for more than month. Tried switching to 2.5 but new windows mobile design and 2.5 Leo is not usable as 2016 builds are and 2.1 Manila.

i always return to touch x 10.1
it is the best rom in terms of speed and stability.

V-Lite here also.Exactly as you told, This ROM+SPB and Resco stuff and one stable and hardworking X1 since one month ago. I can use Titanum whenever I want though. I think mobilevu is waiting for the official release of WM6.5. I hope he comes back to upgrade his ROM at that time.

Agreed: The best 6.1 is probably Touch X 10.1. Master Smaberg was very good.
6.5 is a different beast. There are MANY GREAT ROM's out there. Each has its own 'issues'. You can usually find the best ROM for 'you' by defining what it is you need in your phone. And go for it.
My needs are, in order, Phone,email, sms, internet, fast, pretty. For these I have found NRG ROMs work best for me.
Christians, Valkyre, Tornado, Jack, and others ALL make good ROMs. Each has an issue that impacts my basic needs. BUT...I try each of their new ones..!!!

Best ROMs Out?

Guys,
Could you rank a few ROMs from best to leats on a ascale from 1-10. 10 being the most stalbele and best rom and 1 being the least?

I say Agent´s Leo 23517

i say that you couldnt scale these roms as they are made by the chef for the chef and choose to release them to us to try them out why dont u download a few and try them out some u will like some u wont try them till you find one u do like.

6.1 or 6.5
Well i'd give a 9-10 to [2009-12-09][WWE][ROM] Touch X 10.9.1 (WM6.1/Manila 2.1.19202517) NUTS!
As it works perfectly without any issue ; no freeze and perfect for a day to day use.
& a 7.5-8 to [26 NOV 09 | SEX1 R5.07]
It is good but not all X2 stuff works as it should but smooth and sleek interface and it is a 6.5.
I've tried many other but had problems (freezing, no landscape, unstable..etc)

another 9/10 for [2009-12-09][WWE][ROM] Touch X 10.9.1 (WM6.1/Manila 2.1.19202517) NUTS!
I have a couple of minor issues with the weather tab in this ROM, but they are minor. It is a stunning piece of work. It has Sense (Manila 2.1) on WM6.1, a very good compromise of Manila features and 6.1 speed/stability.
I would also give a 8/10 for its predecessor, 10.8.1 Very fast and stable, one point less since the Manila version is not as pretty
I would give 6/10 for Itje's Touch IT 10.4 I reflashed it a few times, but it was never particularly stable for me.
(Once flashed, I customise with a lot of different apps)
It may be an unfair comment, but look at the number of pages each ROM thread has. This is a fair indication of popularity. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a similar thread to this, already.

Very good post!
I would give Touch-It BL Landscape 9/10 points if it was a bit more stable and if TomTom would work on it!

not quite:
1st videoplayback is almost as is not working
2nd the included opera does not support hardware keyboard, you must install another version on top of the already cooked one
3nd the soft keyboard has a major bug when you add a number to contact it gets stucked in numerical mode and you must edit registry to get it back.
However is a matter of tastes and how you use ur phone daily. The most stable roms are those with manila 2.1 and winmo 6.5 build 218xxx or winmo 6.1
Valkyrie is ok but suffers from SoD but some users here are making progress in ironing this out
EnergyRom is ok too, especially the one w/ manila 2.1, for 2.5 you have to install sms client / patch it and also you'll not have manila docs working
A very good rom if you dont care for manila is X2 ported rom from jerpelea
And many other, those 4 I speak of ive tested myself in the last month and thats why I spoke of them

EnergyROM "Leo" 21885 Sense 2.5
10/10 - Best rom ever! Increased my battery time and signal enormous. Eye candy, fast, stable and landscape works
The other ones i've tried are already mentioned.

I'm using valkyrie v5.5.23517 with HTC Sense running since it was uploaded and I haven't had the SoD once. I use my phone for TomTom, Video Calling, Calling, Browsing the net, Texting with the Windows Mobile Client. But I have turned off the Twitter, Email and Documents Tabs off in HTC Sense. Using this to get all Background 4 all tabs with landscape has made it the best Manila Rom I have used on the X1.
I've tried the different versions EnergyRoms I could never get passed the splash screen that's probably my fault.
With Touch-IT BL Landscape - Build 21889 I can't live without the hardware keyboard in Opera.

hmm for me - all the roms posted here are great and the most stable roms around tends to change every now and then. newer roms from the same chef may not be the most stable or greatest as all chefs are experimenting as well.
currently these are my fav:
1. gtrab sex1 r5.07. not so eye candy but very usable & stable. minimal crashes. (nice to have xperia dialer, i miss wm6.5.3)
2. christian 3.7 & 4.0 clean (had problem with 3.8 & 3.9 but so far 4.0 working great ..... nice big finger friendly menu and best of all xperia dialer. miss htc task manager though)
3. energy rom with manila 2.1 (nice eye candy and stable)

Have to go with Touh-X 10.9.1 myself. I've tried a few different roms, found WM6.5 to be inherently unstable on my Xperia, And Mr. Rusch's implementation of Manilla 2.1 is amazing. The Rom runs at lightspeed, have not had a single crash. My only complaint about it is that I've lost the seemless integration of manila's in-built SMS util. If I wish to use it, I need to go through contacts -> open contact, slide to messages.

What do you call 'best'?!
I've been a fan of the EnergyROM "Leo" series for a while (if you want Manila.) They seemed to be reliable and stuffed full of eye candy.
Not NRGZ28's fault but the Leo Manila has been pretty buggy for ages and I got fed up with it and went back to the PURE WM6.5 that was released on 26 Nov 2009. Its been faultless and I'd recommend it if you simply want WinMo 6.5 on your X1. I've used it since its release date without any problems.
Over Xmas I got caught up in the X2 excitement and have installed jerpelea's 'test' ROMs. His 007 is the first 'FINAL' build I can live with (the earlier ones kept hanging on me) but its full of X2 eye candy and functionality and I'm finding it runs better over time - weird but true.
Depends what you mean by 'best' I suppose, TF3D ROMs have the HTC look and feel but are generally a bit buggy, a clean WM6.5 has the new WinMo look and feel and should be more reliable, and an X2 ROM is likely to be buggy but have the new Xperia eye candy!
EDIT: Whatever ROM you flash, make sure you hard-reset afterwards to give it a fighting chance of performing well! Personally I tend to hard-reset a couple of times as I've had some issues when only doing it the once with some custom ROMs.

There' no best ROM out there...

The best ROM is the one you like and feel confortable with.
I've long been a fan of Manilla, be it 2, 2.1 or 2.5 Leo/Sense.
As far as stability and battery life is concerned I found the older versions of Energy (september) and the 3.8 versions of valkyrie to be more to my liking; the current line-up from both cooks are still fine though.
Unfortunately, most of the "improvements" come not with tweaks to stabilize the existing ROM, but generaly consist of updates, upgrades and new applications = new bugs/issues;
I am by no means disrespectfull, on the contrary, I am gratefull for the immense contribution of these cooks to the community.
After some dissapointing isuues with 3 Leo versions (ijte, valkyrie and energy) I am very happy with jerpelea's X2 007 (not that it is bug free but I find it fast and usable).
Good luck hunting out there and support the chefs!

Agent 47 - Leo 23517

Currently for me it is the best 2.5 with landscape support. All works fine and no SOD since a couple of tweeks including radio update 1.16. 25.48.
Cheers

For 100% bug free, fast and stable you need to be looking at older ROM's i.e. WM 6.1 and you also need to define whether you want Manila or just WM. There are so many different variations you cannot just say 'which is best'. It always depends on what you as the user want.
I have tried many diferent ROM's, mainly Agent 47, NRG and Itje but have always migrated back to Agents ones as I find they suit me better but I like the cutting edge stuff, Manila 2.5 is my favourite UI so I am definately into Valkyrie Leo 23517.
The only way is to try a few and see which one you like but be warned you could turn into a flashaholic!

ROMS

Hi guys i was wondering what would the most best stable fastest rom for the CDMA Diamond be. I have tried multiple. The two best i think were MightyRom and EnergyRom(currenty using). I just need ur opinion if you know some other nice ones. I rate roms by aesthetics and looks but obviously also speed and stability. Thanks
MightyRom - http://www.mightyrom.com make sure you goto diamond section
EnergyRom - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=74084

I like the Pegasus . . .
rom Touchflo 2.1 basic. I tried a few roms including Mightyrom 6 and Energy Rom, but seem to be sticking with Pegasus. It is has more recent versions of WM and Touchflo than Mighty Rom and and at least a more recent WM then Energy. It is stable and everything works. There is also a Pegasus titanium rom with an enhanced version of titanium that is also worth checking out. I checked it out, but Titanium, even nicely tweaked, is not as good as Touchflo, in my opinion at least.

IMHO, I like manila Rom. It is much more easy to use. So the Energy rom is my pref.

IMHO, I like Sense 2.5 Roms for my HTC CDMA Diamond. I will Highly recommend MikROMs, it has the latest sys and the perfect rom it is always his next ROM (he never stop to cook new ROMs with every fix that appear in the WM6.5 and WM6.5.x sys. Also you can choose between Light or Standard Version. His ROMs are always as stable as what is best in that week, next week you can surprise with a hole new ROM with new fixes that doesn't exit before. So go and get a look at AmiKAM MikROMs LINK HERE.

Very good ROM, good battery life, aesthetically pleasing and fully functional AND more than enough free storage. Could use a little performance improvement, but hey this is the diamond its running on so no complaints
Thanks for the ref.

Fastest and stable Manila ROM on HD?

Hi Chefs,
Just an idea.
Been wandering around on this super forum for a while and have tried a lot of ROM's.
What I've seen is that almost all of the Chefs cook a ROM based on a latest build, and then try to get the ROM as fast and stable as possible. Some of the Chefs really done a great job, like Miniterror, Mikenificent, Xannytech and Gregorz. Still, these ROMs are getting quicker, but none of them are really fluid, like for example a iPhone.
Why don't you chefs try to built in a other way. So why don't you start with the fastest and most stable ROM ever, and then one by one try to add the functionality that we are now used, till you see that the ROM starts getting slower.
On my Diamond I've got a ROM that is based on WM6.1, and runs Sense 2.1. This ROM is much faster than the original stock ROM for the Diamond. In speed and functionality this ROM can really compete with the speed of an iPhone.
Why not do the same for the HD? Why not trying WM6.1+Sense 2.1 and add the tools we are used in the latest ROM's? Or perhaps WM6.5+TF3D?
The must be a lot of way to do this, but the goal is to start with the fastest and most stable ROM, and than adding new stuff. Instead of the other way, like almost every Chef is doing on this forum.
If I could build ROM's, I really would have started this, but I don't have the knowledge of doing this.
I Hope a Chef can pick this one up!

A lot of chefs like to try and use the latest builds and with new builds appearing all the time, the time to do as you wish becomes less. A few chefs have created roms using wm6.1 & manila 2.1 but this is becoming less often as wm6.1 is seen my a lot of people as a dying format especially with wm7 soon being released for mobiles. Also there is compatibility issues with some apps and wm6.1 as most are now designed for wm6.5

there is topix anyway. wm6.1 tweaked to the max

blackstone will never be really fluid, like for example a iPhone because it runs windows mobile 6.1, or even worse, 6.5, which requires more juice than the processor is able to provide.

my guess is that cooks cook roms to there personal taste(i know i do)
and wm6.5 has reached a lvl that it is verry usable for daily use
thats why i think there isnt to much 6.1 cooked anymore

Hi Guys,
Don't get me wrong, I do like the latest builds. As a matter of fact, I always used the latest versions, because I like all the features that has been introduced in WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Because I've experienced that the latest ROM's really use a lot of power of the HD, (resulting in unstable performance and fast battery drainage), I was looking for a ROM with Manila that was as fast as the Stock ROM, but had the features of the latest builds.
After a while I concluded that WM6.5 combined with the latest Sense is too heavy to get fluid performance like the stock ROM. (allthough Miniterror's ROM is very good, I'm using his ROM for over a month now!).
That's why I suggested a few options, like WM6.1 with Sense 2.5, or WM6.5 with TF3D2.1 or anything else. Just to get fastest and most fluid ROM.
I found a ROM that perhaps answers my questions. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679670
I will try this one and give some feedback.

What would you say is the best rom?

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

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

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 ...

Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
try CLoudy 2.2 COM5 or COM2... for me, this is the best ROM ever had. no issues with this ROM. retain more stock ROM... not very much added application or programmes for optimal speed

okay if there is no best rom ,, i need the fastest rom with out bugs ???
can i get this
