Hi,
as Ive seen here a tons of roms, this is very nice but Ive not the time to install 20 rom to find out which one is the right for my jobs on the x1...
Tomoroww ill recieve my brand new mini eeepc ahhhmm Xperia
this things, beside using it as a phone , I would like to be able to:
email client
office
Surfing the web (real and no mobile versions)
watching Youtube
watching Adobe Flash (maybe Full?)
watching avi/dvix/xvid without to have them to convert
recording videos in best possible quality
listing to mp3
touch 3d / panel acces but not neccessary
this all on a wm6.5 in german?
wm 6.5 is not important, german would be nice but english as well, more i would like to have a fast wm version with the features above...
I remeber my odl days with xda neo, the original rom was 50% slower then a 6.1 for the web...
Can anyone suggest me a rom include this features?
I'd give it a go for a while before you flash a new ROM, see what you think about the stock ROM and its shortcomings, and then look for a ROM that fixes the shortcomings as you see fit.
Well, you're looking for pretty much the same things as everyone else
But if you want German language, you have the following options at this time
- Norti's Nx1i (6.1) superfast and stable but plain boring WM 6 Today Screen with only QuickMenu as UI gimmick
- AleFefe's very early 6.5 alpha and his more mature 6.1 TF3D - i can't say much about this one yet
- Chalid's cmex (TF3D) seems nice if you like his TF3D customization style
- udK's GER Rom (TF3D) excellent TF3D port, but the brandnew release from yesterday has a few issues - he will certainly fix soon
- YYYYY's Hv3 (TF3D) will be updated tonight - i keep coming back to this one since it's so smooth and stable. My favorite German ROM at this time.
Please note that almost no one has a leaked native German 6.5 yet - so if you insist on 6.5, you might want to wait a few more days/weeks.
I dont want to promote my Rom here, but......
You can try my Rom if you want.

It's not 100% Ready for all of your Purposes.
There wont be Manila/TouchFlo. For now its only able to show you the whole Speed-Potential of WinMo 6.5 on the Xperia and you can play mp4 Movies smoothly on it. Further Versions of this Rom will include working YouTube, support for more movie formats like avi or mpg and many Multimedia Features like Ringtones, Wallpapers, Themes and Panels.
Maybe, if you have some time to wait, this Rom could be very close to perfect for you.

Thay exactly what Ill do, but from my old experiance with the xda neo I know that the original Roms are overloaded and slow...
I was looking for a dutch windows 6.5 rom but I couldn't find in xda. I think that this is the right place to ask, is there a clean (original, but not necessary) dutch windows mobile 6.5 rom without any extras?
I ran my X1i with stock ROM for a few months after purchase, and I liked the bundled SPB panel a great deal - never used any other panel, actually. However, the phone would get pretty slow, especially with stuff running in background (FortiClient, Opera, etc). Last weekend I decided to flash to a custom ROM - looked around this forum for a while and decided that Gen.II Light is probably the best fit. HardSPL'ed the phone and flashed the ROM without issues, bought SPB Communication Pack, got everything set up, and then ran into several problems, main one being that SMS stopped working. I can see new SMS notifications, but they don't show up in Outlook. Other issues include YouTube videos being unwatchable (framerate is about one per 3 seconds), and included HTC-branded Opera not being able to zoom out.
So, I'm looking for a ROM with the following characteristics:
1) Light and barebone. Specifically, no panels (don't need them), and no TouchFLO (don't like it, going to use SPB shell anyway)
2) WinMo 6.1. Would love to go 6.5, but the Hebrew MUI that I have (Eyron) doesn't support 6.5 yet. However, if there is Hebrew support for 6.5 somewhere (I don't need Hebrew interface, just ability to read Hebrew messages/appointments and type in Hebrew) I can consider it.
3) Working text messaging and video drivers.
Does such a beast exist?
See sticky ROM library for all available ROMs, but maybe Jack's lite is what you're looking for:

Does anyone have a clean WM 6.1 ROM for the Rhodium? Something that has no HTC enhancements.
Like this 6.5.1 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551282&highlight=clean
What I actually looking for is a completely clean ROM with only QuickGPS, USB connection popup & HTC Keyboard. No other extras. Anything like that out there?
I did a lot of searching but found nothing. Ill even cook if Im forced to. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!
There are some "LITE" roms out. But I do not think they are that stripped out (only Quickgps, USB Connection & keyboard).
Try contacting At0mang. He might be able to customize a ROM for you.
Or you can try one of his LITE roms (Fusion V5.5 Lite CHome HTC Dialer)
clean rom with Touchflo is what im looking for, either wm6.1 or 6.5.
if anyone has a link, plz be nice post them..
May not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is a very clean, lightweight, reliable 6.1 ROM. Here's the link:

This rom does not support anything else but the stock hardware keyboard layout, also its based on a Raphael ROM.
Yes thing is the best alternative for WM6.1 a.t.m and its what I am using. But it has lots for things which I dont use and they just take up space. Like : RSS, Worldcard, Streaming media, Touch Off etc, and it doesnt have HTC Keyboard. On a clean start the ROM has 350MB storage space. But the WM 6.5.1 one that I linked above has 385MB (and it already has HTC Keyboard and USB popup).
Ive pmed At0mang, lets see what he says.
Please update the thread with your findings. I'm in the same boat as you. Looking for the Cleanest, Latest and most Stable build with just enough programs and cabs installed to make all the TP2 features functional with Manila 2.1.
I don't get it. I used to have a Hermes (64MB TOTAL RAM) with duttythroy's SUPA DUPA LITE (WM6.1) and after boot it would ahve 30MB Free RAM. I can't find beyond 145MB free RAM on the cleanest of the cleanest and the lightest of the lightest Rhodium ROMS, a device with 288 MB RAM (This is ofcourse with no Manila)
Do the drivers really take up that much space?

From what I know is that 288MB is not the total amount of usable RAM either. Some of it is video RAM, but how much I dont know. On the Diamond for example the RAM was 192MB. 64MB Video memory and 128MB RAM.
As for the ROM (512MB) most of it gets wasted on things I dont use. The max Ive found free in a ROM was 385MB. That was the link I posted above. Its a WM 6.5.1 ROM but as such not very stable.
I am making a list of things I want removed and others that I want kept, I will post them here as soon as Im done.
So far thanks for everyone's support.
Edit : Here is what I would like the ROM to be like
Based on WM 6.1
All HTC things removed (even thier 3G icons & Commanager, I will install my own) execpt for USB connection popup, G-sensor calibrator, Kinetic scrolling, The new bluetooth stack, HTC End key, HTC Large start menu & Camera.
Some Microsoft things that should be removed : Calculator (if nothing depends on it), Office Mobile, Windows Live & Messenger, Games, extra themes (leave only one, the default one), Ringtones (leave only one, the default one), All the non essential stuff in "My Documents" folder, like Pictures, Wallpapers, Templates for camera & MMS.
Things in the settings folder that I want removed : Encryption, Clear Storage & Connection Setup (the thing that sets-up carrier setting. These I can do myself).
Based on WM 6.5
All the above plus remove IE6 (not PIE) because most of the web plugins dont work with it and I use Opera anyway. Only reason to keep PIE is because I need it for LogMeIn. Also remove honey-comb start menu and use the default WM one.
One thing to keep in mind is that I have a Swedish Touch Pro 2. So I would like to keep the files require to do swedish input via the hardware keyboard.
I dont really think anything else could be removed without causing harm to the basic functions. Although Im open for suggestions.
So any ROM developer up for it ?
Edit 2 : Some other things that can be removed : Error Reporting, Help, Remote Desktop & Search.

WM6.1_21048_M2.1 Jackos Oldschool ROM v1.1
it's good
Hm, the last recommended thread just says 'nothing here' in all posts
Did you ever get one?
I really want a blank WM 6.1 with just the enablers for the various hardware features (GSM, UMTS/HSPA, GPS, aGPS, WLAN, camera, hardware keyboard, etc). No HTC keyboard, thank you very much
If I install the Tochflo3D on X1 will i be able on uninstall it...also, on youtube, there is a video that uses Touchflo3d on landscape mode too..but that phone doesent have X1 panels anymore....
Also, excuse my illiteracy, but what is manilla?? is it another name for TF3d??
what version is the TF3D i have...(ive downloaded it from one of the threads here only, from a mediashare link)
last Q, how easy wil it be to uremove in case of some screwup....
Thanx a lot to any1 who helps me...
Can i use this on WM 6.5.....
If i upgrade to 6.5... can i still use the TouchFlo 3d...
thanx
Touchflo3d (also known as Manila) is an interface, a skin - like SPB's mobile shell.
The individual panels can be understood as different "pages" of a skin too (even though they are individual applications loaded as needed). So, really I'd say that you would use one or the other. I never enjoyed the panels, mainly due to the slow transition (having to go to the panel picker, then wait for the chosen panel to load)
For that matter, to me Mobile Shell feels like an add-on, you can very easily get to the bare bones of the Windows interface. Manila (at least cooked into ROMs) is a very good interface, and doesn't feel like an add-on, nor does it need time to transition between its "pages".
I've never installed Manila on its own, but as there are plenty of Manila cabs available, you can install & uninstall as needed.
You can also disable the panel manager from starting up on reboots, and disable the panel manager button too
thanx a lot Paul C, i really appreciate your help. From what I understand, the cabs available arent the actual touchflo3d OS, the ones coming with the actual HTC fones, am i right?
Touchflo is not OS, it is just interface that sits on the home screen. It is the same windows in HTC phones, too.
I would recommend flashing custom ROM instead of installing touchflo, because everything is A LOT faster in cooked ROMs.
I am a little confused..there are so many ROMs in the forums...one of the Youtube videos showed X1 with a complete HTC OS..like jkoljo said, it was a much faster..so which is that ROM..allso can i have a OEM ROM..all of the ROMs here are cooked...some official ones??
also, its quite a cliche question, but what is the best ROM for X1..i want a stable, with all the apps working, also, preferbly ladnscape shud work and it should be a panel install also..thanx a ton!
if you dont want to flash a rom, then i would recommend spb mobile shell 3.5.1. you can customize it to have a combination of touchflo and android.
downside, it cost money but well worth it.
SPB mobile shell
Spb mobile shell 3.5.1 is great. You can try before you buy from SPB website or you can use the slightly older free korean version with english hack, OR you can download the 2.x version for free as a panel from Sony Ericsson panel page. at any rate its well worth the money if you do decide to buy it.
To all the Blackstone chefs. I am offering a donation of $30 thru PayPal for a very simplistic, custom clean WWE ROM. If more chefs are willing to build this I would donate the second two that I like best consolatory prize of $5 for encouragement of their efforts.
Normally I wouldn’t bother other people with this kind of task, but my own efforts at using the kitchen in all of its incarnations have failed miserably.
I suspect that quite a few Blackstone owners would appreciate this kind of ROM.
This is what I want:

I would appreciate any and all comments.
I have cooked a ROM that came near to what you want.... but it's in German.
ht*p://w*w.htc-developers.de/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=5662
I think you need one in WWE.
I try to cook one for you...
Mark...
Yes, should be WWE and thank you.
Energy Android
Have you tried this? It has Harem installed which can be nicely ignored, but i believe it's desolate otherwise.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625330
Yes I have tried that ROM and there were some issues, I don't recall at the mment what it was. I will try it again and see.
So I checked again the recomended *Energy Android Super Lite ROM* and it just doesn't work for me for few reasons.
- It doesn't have the Start, Close/OK buttons on the bottombar.
- Atleast I couldn't disable the DualBoot app
- When changing the Start menu skin to make it 1-row, the Start menu stopped working, and the skin was OK in other ROMs
And here is some addition to my requerements for the ROM, that I just forgot to list before:
- The Default Windows keyboard, no touch keyboard (can be installed if needed)
- 20 MB Pagepool
- USB to PC should be present (it is just too usefull to omit)
- Should have .NET Framework 3.5
- The ROM should be UC capable
I'd be interested in this too, I'll keep an eye on this thread.
here is your rom:

let me know if you like it, and if you want something different, i will be your personal cooker
Well...Great! One thing though. After flash it wouldn't start and won't even allow me to Hard Reset. Thankfully I can still enter BootLoader.
Thanks for your work anyway.
base on your fist post, I think its best for you to buy a phone something
that does not resemble a windows based PPC.
i seriously think you'll attract more bogus people pretending to be a cook
rather than attract the attention of Real Cooks here in XDA.
I want a Clear ROM also
I know few ROM`s that are super cool i mean fast,stable and everything is fine the things i don`t like is ONLY that they have installed APPS that i don`t use and i never will use, so if someone can Edit this ROM`s i mean just to delate all APPs that i don`t need will save from the Main Memory and will be just perfect.

See my point? I dont Want a HTC Phone or Windows Phone I DO Want a Pocket PC.
But hey, you can still disable Sense/Manila from the today and put the hell you want in your HD.
I don't get it, you just want to get rid all that things for what? To go to the Memory Settings and see that you have a looooot of free memory?!? For what?
It's like having a 8GBram with a 1TB disk computer and never use 100% it's of the capabilities...

No seriosly - it's not about that. Why have Manilla and all other kinds of software in the first place if you will use something else anyway? Now I don't get that. It's about a clean slate (Now that's a name for a ROM - Tabula Rasa).
