So we have 3 different WM6 ROM's. Which one is you favorite?
Helmi
Xplode
PDAViet
I've tried all, but now returning to use Helmi's ROM as I found it's more stable.
Anyway, thanks Xplode and PDAViet for developing choices for us. I know many people chose yours.
viet one is just what i need
It seems that pdaviets and xplodes are of the same build and is an update to helmis rom. I personally have tried pdaviets and it is faster and a lot more stable than helmi's. Internet browsing is faster, multitasking is faster and a lot more stable. I can't wait for pdaviets final rom to come out.

Ooops, after posting the comment, I found that I haven't tried the new version of PDA Viet's ROM yet. Tried it and found it's great. Yes, it's much better than I expected. I love the welcome screen, the theme and X button functions (much better than the other two).
By the way, the new Xplode's ROM BA_5.2.1933_AKU_0.7_R0-xplode-fixed has quite old version of File Explorer like in WM5. I prefer the one in Helmi's and PDA Viet's ROM.
Sorry PDA Viet, I cannot change my vote to you now. Anyway, I like your ROM a lot.
Cheer!!!
Im with Helmi's...
his work is the Best...
being the first....
being better over fixes and updates arent being the Best one....
just making them look like a fly over a giant's head,
metaphorically speaking.
so i'll go with Helmi's pioneer WM6 ROM for BA.
I prefer Xplode....I always like his work...
I'm using Xplode's because it is much faster than Helmi's, and because I have the same device as Xplode so I know the ROMs will work well.

Hello!
I'm new here. I'll upgrade my BA soon, so I need to know: What version of WM6 is the best?
Helmi Windows Mobile 6 Profesional R0 or
WM6 Pro CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) or
WM6 OS 5.2.2000 (Build 20000.1.0.0.PV.HAT)
Best WM6 ROM (as at Jan 2008)
Hi there, I have used both of the Roms at the top of your list and I find Xplodes to be faster and less buggy and I am sure it uses less power but can't prove it. I think I liked the fonts better in Helmi's Rom but it is amasing how quickly you get used to a new ROM.
One thing is for sure WM6 on the BA Rocks!
My personal pick as at today 14-Jan-2008 is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342142
Enjoy.
Another vote for xplode's ROM. It's fast and very stable.

Xplode ROM rulez
how different
what are the main differences between helmi's and explods? i am using helmi's and am pretty happy. i would like to try explods but can't figure out how to get it to take. i can't remember if i have to manually put into bootloader or not. one thing i can say is that i don't find anymore bugs in helmi's rom than i did with some stock roms provided by phone manufactures.

You make a great point, we often refer to these bugs as if Helmi or Xplode put them there, when really they were issues that existed in the software these guys ported to the BA.
Having recently upgraded from Helmi's to Xplodes I can say that an issue I had with fonts in Co-pilot is still there, which probably means it is with Co-pilot's WM5 version running on WM6. The ROM was definitely faster when I first installed it but now I think I have installed too many apps and it is slowing down for me.
I had an issue with my marsware weather panel causing failed boots (needed to go to safe mode, then reset) after a backup with Helmi's version, this issue is gone with Xplodes.
Both versions have inherited the 'issue' with having to turn on wifi twice.
I personally love the task/memory manager in Xplodes version, and the wireless today screen display plug in.
Either Way is so great to have WM6 on the BA.
Just updated my signature.

Thanks for sharing !
Cheers,
Nice ROM. I'm running the first one with the blue Vista Backround. The touch flo cube works great too. So far no problems. It does drain the batter plenty quick.
Thanks for sharing.
Stable ROM
I have this ROM for time now, amazingly stable. Did not reset my BA for some time.
Bit drain on battery but I am having big battery, so no problem. cheers

Most of the PDAVIET rom's do!
First link "file not found"
What is the difference with this one Are the problems solved?
I've asked this question in a bunch of forums with not good answer. Is there a registry setting which will allow WMP to play even when the device is turned off?

Goodluck!
Thank you everybody!
This evening i'll have back my Polaris and i want to flash the fastest ROM, i don't mind the programs it has, i use SBP Shell 2 and few other programs.
IMHO Bepe's Basic can be the fastest.
WWE or ITA for me is the same, even if my english isn't too good
Thanks for your opinions.
i have tried ervius vega r0 and bepe .65 and .67 both basic
The fastest imho is bepe .67 basic (ITA of course)
Tested with the same apps, nothing to say, bepe is fastest
Thanks my presumption seems to be right.
and 1 last thing. In all the 3 ROm i have tried, when I have installed Schaps Advanced Config, the boot time became very very long (the device go in standby be4 finishing the boot)
I don't use it, thanks in any way.
I tested Bepe's standard roms, swtos's roms and ASerg WWE rom:
the 'fastest' i found was ASerg WWE's rom.
Cheers.
Thanks, other people said the same
I think the faster rom is Swtos's Ultra Light v09 .
Faster than Aserg's & Bepe's roms and more stable.
(Tested with same apps and optimizations).
Thanks again Swtos !
Thanks i'll read Swtos ROM Topic
The udK I use actually is really fast, maybe the most fastest I've used (I've used the Bepe, Swtos and some other dev. ROMs..
WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19209 build is fastest ROM at the moment but do not use one with to many applications.
Thanks everybody for your opinion
Hi loris...
I've tried more some rom(all beppe, infido, udk, pdaviet..) and i may say you that the most fast and stable is the last standard Bepe... the second post for Udk!!!
Great job guys!!!
Hi my friend i've choiced Bepe 0.67 Standard and it's very fast and user friendly with SPB Shell 2
Roby ma va in mona e parla italian
ASergs ROM is probably the fastest, but not the nicest... I somehow dislike even the Light version.
swtos ROMs, especially the naked ones, are quite fast but on the other hand, they really are naked, the tradeoff is quite big and there is nothing left anymore
bepes ROMs are in the middle, well equipped, thought through, but not on par with ASerg or swtos naked stuff.
Right now I'm on Udk Vega R0 and it's like bepe, not the fastest, but not really slow either. And quite nice, looks good and the (very few) apps included make sense...
Thank Schaggo you're, as usual, very exaustive

I think that this ROM is better than UDK R9.
Video playback is much better. But both ROMs have one bug. TCPMP don't work. There is also one small bug with battery and screen settings. You can't set anything, but works OK. When you install this ROM you must also install new radio ROM, Polaris Radio_1.59.42.15 extracted. Camera will not work with older radio ROMs. And this radio ROM is much better than Murata radio ROM, which was best till now.
Camera does not work!
I tested this rom, with all kind of radio, but camera does not work,
black screen appear!
thanks

As an opening and heartfelt comment, I appreciate the ROM cookers out there. They are very skilled and have taught me much. I still have a very long way to go.
This post is a genuine attempt at a reality check, however.
There is healthy competition between the various ROM chefs and this is how it should be, of course. In order to differentiate their product, it appears to me that they are wandering into the no-end-in-sight abyss of adding more and more extraneous stuff into the ROM's ... I mean programs such as HTC Home that we can add ourselves with a simple CAB installation if we want to (yes, I know that such programs compressed into the ROM at compilation take less space than later installations)
But the list of extraneous crap in these ROM's can now take up a full screen - and I don't want almost any of it. Worse, a considerable portion of these "added" programs are freeware that are subject to periodic upgrades ... which you cannot then install because the earlier version is in ROM.
I'm currently using an swtos ROM 20273.1.3.3 because it has the least amount of junk in it that I can find. I tried pk's brilliant cut-down ROM's but QuickGPS will simply not work with them.
A comparison of swtos 20273.1.3.3 and this latest PDAVIET ROM 19965.1.2.3:
nbh file size swtos 43Mb PDAVIET 69Mb
free ROM/free RAM from soft reset (I do not permit customization, if I have to have that crap in there then I prefer it stay compressed) swtos 160Mb/60Mb PDAVIET 139Mb/48Mb
On a bare-bones soft reset I can find no appreciable difference in responsiveness between them, just an unnecessary consumption of resources from PDAVIET.
I should like simply to re-engineer the ROM's to remove what I do not want (oodles, actually) but at my quite embryonic ROM-cooking skill level I am unable to overcome the "all commands to one" compression used at ROM compilation.
Is this ROM in English or some other language? The screenshots look english, but the site is not. So I am not sure.
Thank you.
see more,screenshots is wwe
sorry my bad english
SD Encryption
SD Encryption is by default in this rom!
when you uncheck it, it comes back..???
can't check if files are encrypted right now
do you experience the same?

installed since 12 hours ago... it appear all to be right.
the cube works welll

My dear .. It is 21054 not 20151. The 21054 is the leatest core. It is expected to be the last one for WM6.1. You can find it in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547314
It has been cooked for other devices and the members are happy with it. It is will be nice to see WM6.1.21054 for Polaris. It will be nice from you to build it.

Yes - I am familiar with the build and sorry for my finger problems with the version numbers
You may be lucky and have some chef cook this sys in, however all of the Polaris chefs (pcarvalho here and tranminhman at PDAVIET) seem to be focussing their efforts on 6.5 ROMS - looking forwards and not backwards.
6.5 - is beta. Most of people prefer using FINAL product.
But beta 6.5 is much better, faster, stablest and user friendly than 6.1 FINAL

6.5 or 6.1 - the only FINAL product for Polaris is the HTC shipped version for Polaris.
All of the cooked ROMS contain bits from here and bits from there - hacked memory, apps converted from other models and resolutions...... on our device it's all beta really.
I agree with Petulinek - don't get hung up on versions. The 6.5 release by pcarvalho is stable and great, as is the 6.1 release from chavonbravo.
Petulinek, tried 6.5... Not impressed very much, but RAM amount is LOWER then in 6.1. Not good for me.
cr1960, any advanced user ALWAYS tune & customize MS stuff to get MAXIMUM. If understand me.

Hi Zillka - I understand what you are saying, but for a lot of work I don't see any of our cooks creating any new 6.1 ROMS, so I guess you have 3 options:
1. use existing 6.1 ROM; 2. migrate to 6.5 ROM; 3. cook your own 6.1 ROM.
cr1960, tnx for advise. I'm actually diging into kitchens and cooking, but its a little bit like "programming". I'm hardware guru not programming-oriented individual. If i can get HOW to USE kitchen (or customise existing one) to build my own rom, i'll share it. itje currently testing Touch-X for Polaris jn WM 6.1, and i'm waiting for his rom.
PS: Not all cooks like to share kitchens. So i have a little choise.
