Open Touch was my first rom and I've stuck with it since. Very Stable and Fast! I'm currently running ver 4.0 lite and I love it.
I second that, open touch is absolutely amazing. If you dont want to miss any apps, then go for the biggy. Good luck
Any and all of the roms fit your preferences. There is an automatic configuration program that works wonders.
If you are really picky, you can make your own rom with either Ivan's EasyBakeOven or hypercore.
ROM recommendation,
I know that the official 2.2 is not yet out, but I had enough of "Low on Space" on my Milestone and I would really like to use options like SendToPhone and App2SD.
I was thinking to update with one of the existing ROMs for XDA...but I don't know what to choose...I like Dexter's 2.2 ROMs but I also saw that Telus V5 is very fast and light (or why not a CyanogenMod 6 for Milestone...?! ).
Having in mind the flowing criteria that are important for me :
-stability
-speedy and light on memory consumption
-2.2 if possible (app2sd and SendToPhone)
-fair battery consumption
what ROM would you recommend me ?
Thank you in advance

Personally, I would recommend with the GOT 2.2.1 release the Cyanogenmod6...
Also, check my post about the battery life.
GOT 2.2.1, easily in my opinion =]
fast, stable, decent battery life and there are some awesome themes out there =D
hope i helped!
Thank you for your answers , I was just about to flash MotoFrenzy (Froyo 2.2 for milestone). I will try to see between this two....
and another question...why is so important to uninstall all the applications ? In this case can I use a backup application (Titanium backup Pro) to quickly reinstall al my apps with app data on my milestone ?

Yes...You can backup all your installed apps + data with Titanium backup in 2.1 and restore the backup in 2.2 ... You should not back-up system data or system apps....just the apps installed by you...
MotoFrenzy is not a full 2.2 ROM. it's just a ROM with 2.2 features based on 2.1 kernel so you wont have the full 2.2 experience on your phone...
I recommend as I said earlier GOT 2.2.1 + CM6
Flash the GOT 2.2.1 .sbf and you are good to go!
Also, Overclock (if you haven't done that already) your Milestone for more speed.
I also used Cronos Froyo ROM before GOT leak came out and I was really satisfied with the outcome. I believe he is making a new ROM right now, based on the 2.2.1 GOT.
I want to change my Windows OS with a latest Android or other bugs free! So please suggest me with one! Thanx in Advance!!

Hi salmanrkr,
If it's speed,stability & battery backup is what you are looking for...then stick on to your stock ROM..believe me it's the best...
Also, you need not have to flash your ROM to run an Android in your X1....You can boot Android from within the Windows Mobile by having the Android OS files in your SD card...Basically there are 2 different types of Androids..one which require an ext2 partition(which is more faster) & one which doesn't need any partition(which is easier to run)
It seems that you are a fresher...so better try the second type..the one which doesn't need any partition...I recommend for you the F1Froyo 2.2.1 .Visit the following thread for the description and download link...(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844033)
Do keep in mind that Android for X1 is still under development..so don't hope for a bug free and stable android for X1..
And if you really want to Flash a new ROM for X1, you can try the 826x series ROM...or the Energy ROM..both are Windows 6.5 Build with slight difference in Interface..Both have Sense, a cool interface seen in HTC Devices...visit the following threads for the description & download link..
for 826x series ROM-(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734175)
for Energy ROM -(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562935)
Note : You can have your Custom ROM + Android in your X1....Also plz do keep a backup of your Stock ROM before flashing your device with a Custom ROM..
Hope this helps...
Thanx alot!
But which files to be downloaded? its lil mixed up!

I have tried both the builds...and from my experience i found the second one i.e. F1 Froyo .2.2.1 more faster & Stable.
So my recommendation for you is the F1 Froyo 2.2.1..
Here is the direct link to F1 Blog, where you can download the original file : http://f1series.blogspot.com/2011/01/f1-froyo-221.html

great answer , cleared all my doubt also. very neat
Dear all,
In an attempt to organise the discussion, I have noticed that there are several threads aiming at discussing the best ROMS for the Milestone.
Some of us are using Shadowmod, Froyomod, CM7, CM6, Motofrenzy, GOT while some use Stock.
REQUEST 1: Each user, after updating to a new ROM/Nightly should state their ROM here, its version, and describe her/his own experience with the ROM.
REQUEST 2: If you have used more than one ROM, can you post comparisons of your experience with your ROM?
This should help in better understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each ROM and each nightly and even help developers of each ROM work together and exchange tips.
Thanks!
Also: CHECK THIS THREAD for links to ALL ROMS under development

My first post:
I am running Cm6 pre final. I removed facebook and Twitter and some other apps from system, installed them from market and moved them to SD. Not many mods, except heap size is 32, and no app2ext.
Very stable, very occasional reboots. Battery life is as expected, within standard cm6 range. Battery lasts 12 hours average, assuming you USE the phone and keep the display open significantly. Slightly laggy from time to time, but otherwise there is nothing to report except problems with languages that have a right-to-left orientation.
I love the mods. Just downloaded froyomod and considering a test drive for a day.
UPDATE > TESTING FROYOMOD 2.6.1.b
I just installed it, and am using it with basic settings. I only changed libwebcore.so with one that supports basic arabic reading in mail and web.
My general impression is that it is much faster and snappier, less laggy and generally lighter than CM6 Pre Final. Will keep testing it of course, but it generally seems to be a better ROM actually.
COME ON! )) WRITE your own REVIEWS of the ROMS YOU USE!
Best froyo atm is FroyoMOD 2.6.1 once the gps issue is sorted.
Best GB rom is Cronos 1.2.
But i am a stock rom person. I am at present using xt702 with arabic kernel,themed and a few mods by myself.

I have heard people talking about Cronos, but it doesn't seem to be as well-known as CM7. Is it faster or more stable?
I have used both FroyoMod 2.6.0 and CM7 RC4.1(current).
I find that CM7 is VERY polished. I had one reboot and it's been close to two weeks I've had CM7 on my phone.
With FroyoMod, I found that it was not as polished as CM7 and had some bugs, but it definitely seemed better optimized for the Milestone seeing as it's running Froyo.

Hey Saeen! here is not the place for this, but here you go Get libwebcore.so from the official 2.2 Arabic release or that file which has been online somewhere. Navigate to system/lib using root explorer, activate the permissions, paste it there to replace the current one (make a copy of the one there, just in case)., and reboot. You can read it Arabic, but it does not fix Right-to-left issues.
Well, i'am new here and i have an Motorola Milestone. I'am from Brazil so my english is kinda bad, but whatever. I'am running stock 2.2.1 from brasil, and my Milestone runs very smoothy! No FC or reboots for 1 week! Iam running it at 1ghz @62vsel. The brasilian official froyo mix motoblur elements with the original android, so the lockscreen for exemple is the same as the motoblur one, and the keyboard is the same as motoblur, the white keyboard. I'am making a video, when i upload i post it here

Miui 1.2.25
So I have found that MIUI 1.2.25 ROM from lalit79 to work the best for me.
The one thing that brings me back to it every time is its battery/power management plus it's fairly stable performance. Usability is the most important thing and I find its interface easy and speedy. Plus it comes with some great apps.
I have tried using the Gingerbread versions of it and they seem to be improving with each update however it is still lacking in the performance and stability of 1.2.25.
Other mods I have used are ShadowMod, Doshaka's CM6, Cronos and ofcourse the stock motorola.
All of which worked fine. However one problem i found across these roms was memory management. If I was using an intense application like angry birds and then revert back to the Home Screen I would find that all my icons would take a bit of time to load up. Only ROM where this has not happened is MIUI.
Hope my experiences help!
edit: I should also add that I use the old boot.img file in 1.2.25 as I experience random reboots if I do not. This applies to all mods mentioned above.
hey jumbz55, I had the same memory management issue as well with non stock ROM. So far I'm happy after reverting back to Eclair from Froyo, but this MIUI ROM that you mentioned interests me..
What MIUI ROM would you recommend? I'm sure there are many flavours out there. I need one with good memory management and of course care about the battery.
Memory Management got fixed real good

EXCELLENT WORK AS ALWAYS, Zeppelinrox
Roms I have once used:
5 in total
1. Froyomod 2.6.1/2.6/2.5
stability:
smoothness:
comment:
very nice with great memory management,
launcher seldom gets killed,
App2sd works well, the apps can be loaded quickly
Disadvantages:
GPS doesn't work
some demanding 3D games like NFS don't work (immediately get killed)
2.Shadowmod b3, b6
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
The best rom, thanks Edgard
app2sd works perfectly (after rebooting, the apps get loaded within 30s)
After playing 3d games like NFS, apps in apps drawer still need not be loaded again.
No laggy feeling (no kidding~!!!), launcher seldom gets killed but it can be loaded in no time.
3. Cronos gb 1.2
stability:
smoothness:
comments:
If u use app2sd, don't try this rom....
coz the apps reload frequently,
launcher always get killed after surfing internet, not to mention playing any games.
Overall, don't judge a rom's ability by just looking at its popularity in xda....
The most common;y used rom may not be the best one

Which version: CLARO, TIM, VIVO or RETAIL?
What your impressions about the battery performance?
Thanks.

Hello
I am relatively new to this forum but I have a question anyway. Which is better CyanogenMod 7 or the stock Android 2.1-Update1 on the X8 (E15i)?
Also what are the main differences between CM7 and stock Android 2.1 (e.g. is CM7 faster...)?
And finally can someone provide a link to the best CyanogenMod 7, by best I mean most stable and good features.
Thanks in advance.

Stock Android 2.1 is Eclair.
CM7 or Cyanogen 7 is Gingerbread i.e 2.3
The difference between Eclair and Gingerbread is HUGE !!
Many apps require Android 2.2+ like Voice Search etc , and CM7 serves the purpose.
Thanks to devs like doixanh & HAKA , we got excellent CM7 based ROMS which have functionalities like app2sd , custom animations , acceleration rotation settings , back button for ending calls , notification power widgets , center clock options , change the style of battery icon , signal display , render effects , screen-shots ,a variety of in-built screen-locks , boot animation disable , status bar slide brightness control , bottom status bar and lots more....
To be honest , if you need an absolutely bugless ROM , stay on stock.
If you don't care about the very very minor irrelevant bugs (which have no impact on the working of the phone) , then go for CM7
These are the two most famous Cyanogen 7 based ROMS -->
