this Energy ROM seems very good.BUT: why if I press the numbers on qwerty with FN then only signs like (!*/ etc appear ? So I have to use on-screen keyboard for numbers, what a fail! I didn't mess with nor find any setting for that!
Tried 21916 and 29022 version of the standard ROM and it's the same issue
Can't post in the ROM's thread as I'm new user
Well read in the ROM thread that just those last versions have this keyboard bug and the creator seemingly does not have time to fix this
what other WM 6.5 - finger friendly - not too slow - bug-free ROM to use ?
I'm trying the 826X rom ... It's my first flashed rom, so I don't have much experience but I'm very comfortable with it and it's very stable and fast ... even faster than the normal win 6.5 and with much better look ... give it a try and u might find ur solution
thanks, I've already installed the826x too and it seems best (of those with sense at least) as many others agree

Hi, i've searched the forum, but I'ven't found nothing, so please forgive me, if this issue was already posted.
I'm a touch hd user for a while, since I bought it i've always used cooked roms, miri's, dutty's, kwbr's.
Probably due to continue flashing different roms my hd became very slow and the iterfaces became not smooth. Reading in the forum I found someone suggesting to reflash the stock rom to "reset" the device from different changes. I've tryed for a while the stock rom and is icredibly fast and smooth, pretty strange...
Done that I tryed some htc sense rom, i've tryed all of them and the graphic smoothness is reallt bad expecially in the music tab in landscape mode and in the footprints tab.
What i'm asking is: is my hd a dumb, or maybe the hardware requirements do not allow to operate smoothly with that roms.
Tech Data:
I always flash copying the BLACIMG.nbh on the storage card, for me it looks safer and quicker.
I've tryed installing gfxboost and neos driverpack, nothing changed...
Hope you can help
Best regards, and thanks for your awesome work here.
Nicola
P.S. sorry if I made some grammar mistakes
If you use any of the manila 2.5 ROMs, then they WILL be comparitively slower than the manila 2.1 ROMs.
Its because, the graphical requirements are not enough with the hardware of HD.
They are made for a superior hardware device -the HD2.
If you want a faster ROm-use wm6.1 or wm6.5 with manila 2.1
If you want features- go with slower newer ROMs
I also tried a lot of roms and noticed that the poor performance of my HD is due to manila 2.5 and not from WM 6.5.
To win speed you must install a clear Rom just like Miri's XtraLight Rom and then install the shell that you want.
This is what I did:
I flashed Miri's ExtraLight and installed Spbmobileshell with the Sense UI skin found at www.mobilecustom.fr to have the modern look.
And the results where amazing:
Not only my device is now very smooth and fast but it has also more than 120 mb free even with spbmobileshell installed while I was having only 80~70 mb free with manila 2.5.
many thanks, i will try your solution
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...
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
After few months of trial and error ,i think i have tried all the ROMs overhere..but only 2 days back i have found this ..it's excellent..fast, stable, showing the real pwoer of your X1. Give it a try..highly recommende by my self ..

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.

Hello there, I flashed my phone several times, and I've chosen the Basics 6.5 Sense 2.1 until a new version of the same is released (I hope so). It is in my opinion the most stable and fastest ROM for diamond. Good battery life

Moved to general as not development.
Please don't use huge text either. Just write normally.

I too have flashed to the Basic 6.5 Sense 2.1. Like it
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Been thankful for the helpful tips and tricks with my lovely X1 I bought last year's Black Friday event!
Quick question.
How do I get Cookie's Home Tab to work on my Win6.1 platform? I read on that you need Manila or Sense 2.5, any download links for those will help. Search function, yes, but I dont know which one pertaining to 6.1!
Thanks in advance
Maybe I'm wrong but I guess you'll need to flash another ROM incl. Sense... AFAIK Sense is not available as "installable application".
1. hardSPL
2. download new ROM (e.g. Energy ROM, see link in my signature)
3. flash from SD (instructions here)
^Thanks, just got it done yesterday. Installed Valkyrie rom, but it came with outdated 1.8 ver. instead of 2.0 D:
Valkyrie is a bit dead rom meaning that agent is developing only if major updates take place. I was ex-valkyrie-fun. However I believe that he has released a rom with cht2 (at least beta version).
why dont u try energy rom? it has for sure what you need...

I switched from Valkyrie to 826x. 826x had no additional add-ons, just the ROM upgrade, so it was really convenient to switch. Now running CHT + Editor 2.0.0.
Still trying to get use to the low battery fluctuations compared to a Stock ROM, but loving the new interface and programs it can run now!
