Can someone cook clean X1 builds based on 6.5?

Now that we have all the components to cook clean X1 roms based on 6.5 I wonder why nobody has done it yet? No HTC stuff. With new builds we can have updates as if it where SE who releasing them. Also goodies from X2 can be included.

hmmm, i wonder who will too...regardless how clean they say it is you will always find some additional app you dont want that was cooked into the rom, and you wont be able to delete it after flashing
i hope the chefs here who cook clean ROMs do cook a clean rom and leave all 3rd party apps for us to add only if we want, for example, i do not use finger keyboard and i stumbled upon a clean rom with fingerkeyboard, including a few other 3rd party apps, the ROm was good, but i hate to know there is an app on my x1 that is 3rd party that i do not want and cannot remove....
it cannot be clean if you add anything 3rd party...clean means strictly M$ and SE
well thats why i am still on the R3A SEUS fed me, when 6.5 is done and we get the new panel manager and so on then i will cook my own custom rom; it will look as tho it came from SEUS

you could try:
Christian's Rom - Dutch\WWE wm 6.5.1 build 23053 - R3AA Based - "Clean" And "Full" Version Its both in Dutch and English versions

that includes fingerkeyboard! personally i wouldn't mind but you could just install the fingerkeyboard cab, then uninstall it, thus removing fingerboard and you having a completely clean wm.6.5.1 +panels!

Pure Xperia
You should try this :
Pure Series http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/

I am quite ocd with custom roms that are overloaded with apps and TF3D which i hate and i was quite reluctant to install anything but the stock ROM but Christian's rom is now permanent on my phone.

Still no sign of a clean, I mean fully clean rom based on 6.5 using latest builds. It should be up to the user to install whatever they want. I know all the cooks on the board does a perfect job but still there is not a option for many of us outhere that still want it to be only SE with 6.5 build.

Exactly, there are no clean roms at this point, just lite versions... i do hope we can find one sometime with the wm 6.5...i prefer to install my own apps due to the fact that the 3rd party apps chefs do cook in the roms i never use

same thing, custom icons, battery enhancers and so on, is not clean, clean means everything OEM from Sony Ericsson without any tweaking and the clean stuff from the leaked M$ builds

Hey guys
You know, using Ervius kitchen, it is not THAT hard to cook your own build.
In fact I was looking for a french clean ROM and was able to do it.
I am currently running WM6.5 with build 23052, nd its running perfect.
Maybe you could give it a try, there are lots of people here who would be very pleased to give you an hand if you get stuck somewhere

I fully agree. Clean means nothing added. Strange that there is no cook that can grant us that.

Ok. I will try your cooking. Hope that it is 100 % clean and based on latest build. Looking forward to it.

cant be the latest build dude, the panels and the panel manager doesnt fit the screen properly with the latest wm 6.5 build, lets hope this is something in the build that M$ will fix soon that all 6.1 apps can auto adjust...for example resco file manager... or lets hope we can get the new panel manager from the x2 after release

Actually it is/was but the fixes have to be added in this week to clear up what is wrong with the new ui and certain things that the new ui breaks in manila...personally the latest is quite ugly and my xperia-nce rom is released with it only as a courtesy to those who like the new look...but not my preference....an older sys is used for the pure rom....if you had read before you came back to comment...the only errors with the new ui are with the manila oem based , not the pure rom....

Note WM6.5 Unofficial v5

Dear cooks and X1 users,
I would like to share with you that I've been using WM6.5 Unofficial v5 and it has no problems at all. It is Xperia to the finish pure all X1 and the most important thing that I like is the battery drain. It is very good. Not as fast as the others. On standby, Occasional Wifi and playing around sms etc so far i've not charged for 3days with level low on third day.
To me it looks like it's almost equiv to 6.1 usage and speed is awsome. Chefs you all make very cool stuff that Sony cannot. Keep it up. X1 will be there for long thanx to you guys and testers here. Try cook with this ROM WM6.5 v5.
Plzzzzzzzz chefs some the ROMS are very good could you please give it a Xperia finish coz sometyms we see htc boot splash. Let it be all XPERIA. welcome splash can be custom to cook but original is still good. Your name can be in the usual place Device Information. Kept sweet.
We can all share thoughts. So far veryyyyyyyyyyyy cool guyz.

WM6.5 Unofficial v5
can you upload the file somewhere like mediafire? i would like to try it also

thanks for the local promo lol

the unoff 6.5 v5 is the best rom that i have flashed. Pure Xperia and not to forget to mention the cool unoff theme alongwith.
thanks a ton for this rom.

And thanks alot spikegotti for having this ROM.

One of the great things about XDA devs is the amount of choice available. I have a completely different taste to you ... I prefer win 6.1 Roms with manila, as I like the speed of 6.1, and the manila dialer and stuff like audiobooster are essentials for me.
Each to their own, and as long as we have all the great chefs here, there'll always be a ROM to suit every taste!

Yeah that is true. All tastes diff. Only problem with manila new builds is that landscape not yet available from OEM later or even soon the cooks will do it. I like 6.1 too coz of the userbility and this 6.5v5 is clean X1 and fast too. It might not be official release but it looks official. Nothing fails. 6.1 still gud. R3A still buggy. 6.5v5 I have noticed no bug yet.
My problem is I love perfection and most chefs hv that edge. My eye is open. hahahaha. Sweet.

Help Applying ROM
Guys - have downloaded the wm6.5.5 kovsimy extract file - use the nbh extract executable to extract the OS file - copied the OS file to my storage card - how the heck do you apply the os?????
Cheers
JB

The UnOff ROM is just what I've been looking for I've to say. After using it for the last few days now, not only do I have this original "my" phone feeling but also nice to see the new stuff in WM6.5 combined with the original X1 stuff that works perfect ! Thanks Spikegotti.
Edit: Please keep up the originality whenever you upgrade the rom

thanks for the kudos n flashing, and yes the rom will be strictly original and updated with the latest build that wont cause issues with the panel manager and some apps like resco file manager

UnOff ROM is the best. I use my phone for business - heavy heavy user and I would have to pull the battery one most other roms atleast once a day. This ROM hasn't kacked on me yet (4 days and counting!). No gimmicks - just clean and fast.

Touchflo3d CAB or 6.5 or cooked ROMs??

Once again, im a little confused...i have a brand new X1..am thinnking what should I do...
should i upgrade to WM 6.5..(I dont want a cooked ROM, iwant an official 6.5 OS that i can install, upgrade, like we do when we go to Vista to Win7 etc.
BTW: Can u provide me a link for an unofficial but clean OS)
OR
Should I go on installing a cab of a TouchFlo3d
OR
Flash my X1 with a cooked ROM (still cant understand which one)
Thanx a lot..

Personally if your even contemplating flashing your X1, you might as well go with one of the 6.5 builds, they are far superior in My Opinion to the 6.1
there are several good ones out there, so its personla choice as to which you use, I guess it depends on Features cooked in, applications, battery life, stability etc.

Flash Cooked ROM with 6.5. Recent ones are very fast due to having better drivers support as opposed to stock roms
Cab of TF3D won't be optimized.. would be sluggish

alrite i agre with what you are saying cykalu, but then again, these cooked ROMs wont be originals rite? and not only that, are they all BETA or full and final ROMs??
Just wanted to know...

They won't be original but Sony Ericsson decided not to give X1 users the latest (6.5) updates. Therefore all cooked 6.5 roms are much better than original because the chefs has included and tweaked around with X2's drivers so X1 can use them which are more optimized than SE's stuff.
Beta or no Beta, as long as they work it's good. look at Windows 7 RC2, it's beta but it was basically the final after a few minor patches..

If you aren't a user who likes fiddling with your device I recommend you stick with stock ROMs. Cooked ROMs usually have bugs which range from minor to game-ending (e.g. the reset bug that seems to exist in every cooked ROM).
Personally I'm not a fan of Touchflo (especially the Leo version), it makes the inconsistent WM interface even more inconsistent.
If you really want WM6.5, flash gtrab's 5.07 ROM and install the X2 cabs from the themes and applications forum. It'll be as close as you can get to a WM6.5 ROM upgrade. There are only two bugs with this ROM that I've found, one of which is fixed by installing the X2 dialer (the other one is the reset bug that every ROM seems to have). Just sync with MS My Phone or something to minimise the impact.

I know exactly how you feel about modifying your new xperia...I was like this one month ago...My xperia is only 3 months old so I was little nervous....So I went through all the flashing tutorials in here and also downloaded BioVolt's video tutorials...And one month back I flashed my xperia for the first time...I flashed it with the Xperia Unoffcial release ROM, I did all the steps exactly as it was mentioned in the tutorials and my xperia was flashed successfully...but after that I tried to do the hard reset, I wasnt able to do hard reset twice...I thought I bricked my phone ....i was little panic...I once again went through the tutorials and done it third time...This time I was able to do a hard reset successfully and my phone booted up with the new Unofficial Xperia 6.5...after that I flashed 2 or 3 ROMs and finally sticked up with Sonblack's SB20 release which I found to be stable,fast and attractive with its touchflow manila interface...I dint had any weird experience with this one...

Please help me choose a custom rom

Im sorry for posing this question, im not trying to pollute this forum or anything. Ive been doing some searching but i couldn't find a rom that i like. This is my first time trying to flash new rom.
Im looking for a 6.5.1 lite rom with titanium and maybe the latest version of touchflo or sense!
Can anybody point me to such rom or a similar one? thanks

Hallo There

Hopefully you would like it.
Have a good day.

If you prefer WM 6.5.3 like I do Christian's ROM seems to be most stable plus has the Original Xperia X1 dialer which is my preferred dialer as it has better logs and dialing is so much easier.

If 6.5.1 is ok both spikegotti and gtrab have excellent stable ROMs.
[100% CLEAN WM6.5][2009-11-30] ***Xperia UnOff Series - Infinite & Xperia X1.5***
[ROM] PURE Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for the SE XPERIA X1 [26 NOV 09 | SEX1 R5.07]
There are other good ROM's like Energy and Valkyrie FireStorm but somehow I could not get them to be stable for even a day after customizing with Titanium Plugins and Themes.
I prefer two Titanium Themes
WM 6.5 Titanium Theme "Bliss"
WM 7 Titanium Project
Of course, there are probably several more good ROMs but you really have to try them out. For example, I like how the fonts, email, etc look in one ROM but don't like the dialer or it's some other features I love but there is one feature I hate, etc. Play with them all. In the end you will find the most stable one that is close to your liking and will have to settle with it even though there is something better in another ROM .

Thanks for replying so fast, i will give your recommended roms a go.
Xda people are really good

Wow, this topic has simply answered my doubts and questions on which is the suitable ROM for me to use.. I've tried a few version like Touch-IT, Valkyrie, and EnergyROM those eye catchy ROM.. it's really pretty but it's way too lag for a fast user like me.. no patience left to wait for 3-4 seconds to read/create a message!

Ooh ooh i have another question. Do i have to back up my stock rom? I dont think ill need it later.

You can download stock ROM from one of the thread in the sticky here. So, not needed.
