Which Rom is the best?

Ok guys - since my Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 rom has a few bugs (like the volume-control slider not working), I decided to reinstall a new rom. Ive seen already tons of threads including thousands of posts so it`s difficult to find out which rom is the best.
I heard of Faria released a cooked WM6-Rom but I m not sure if it`s working fine with the wizard and if there are still some bugs. In addition to that i don`t know if there are any incompatabilites with WM5 applications.
I`ve also seen a WM5 Rom tons auf WM5 Roms - but which one is working realy fine?
Oh forgot that: I`ve a G4 Device but it`s already CID unlocked.

LOL!!!!!!!

I haven't tried them all but Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 has been working great for me.
A couple of people, myself included had a problem where the built in phone dialer disappeared, but I fixed that by installing the Iphone dialer (can be found here by searching).

First Post.....
Yes, I as my post count would suggest I am new to flashing roms and setting up 3rd party softwares on my Wizard but I must say after hanging out on this forum for a couple of weeks I now feel somewhat like a veteran.
I first flashed with crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 I liked it and didn't notice any major problems at all.
But I was so impressed by XDA Mobile 6 that i had to try it and must say after about a week using it (since it was released) I'm much more impressed, wizard seems faster, i love the interface and the post offers great insight into problems and finding what configurations work for everyone.
I would suggest you try a few roms till you find what suits you best, here is the link to XDA Mobile 6

ok guys first i've installed core 2.0 what seems to work fine but, well u know, it's like a clean vanilla rom - too clean for me. So next i wanted Titanium but it's not released yet. After looking over the programs Faria delivers with his rom, i've decided not to have this much software and installed XDA Mobile 6. Seems to work fine and it looks nice.
Just one more question: where the heck is some difference to WM5? I mean everything looks like the same in WM6. Well ok, there is maybe a new skin, and some new tones, but in the end, i've could also use WM5 with wisbar and the Vista Skin.
For me it seems to be the same sh** like Windows XP and Vista - no real changes at all.

There's a page somewhere on Microsoft.com that details all of the new features in wm6 (Im sure if you do a google search for wm6 review you will find it). The most important one in my opinion is the ability to display HTML with in emails.

Application descriptions

Hello !
I'm quite new here. I'm reading the forum for one week and succeeded to flash my S200. Now I'm interested in other programs. As I see roms come with some installed programs but you can download cab files and install it separately. The only problem is that I cant find descriptions for this programs, so I don’t know what they exactly do. I spent one hour for cube and touchflo to got some idea.... Is there any post or page where this programs are explained?
thanks
Bojan

ello friend
no wonder it hard for anyone to reply your questions
here's some quick reference for you..
this Cube things originally from HTC Touch and also with the Flo which you can scroll down or up smoothly your screen with fingers..
our best cooks edit it so this programs can be use in our Prophet..same also with latest great program from others HTC devices..
usually the latest new release roms here have the newest programs..so dont worry about it,we have the best cooks with us here
but if you need extra programs inside your device, just google around..
for me,if i need other great programs, search into torrents, check out the PPC magazine etc..
cheers..

Manila on tytnII

Hi. I am brand new to this site and have been reading for 3 hrs now. i have found a lot but still unsure how to solve my issue and get the right software.
i am hoping an experienced member can help me quickly.
I have a TYTN II and would like to get Touch Flo 2 (Manilla) on it. Thus I have 3 questions:
1. I want to upgrade to WM 6.1. Do I do that upgrade first via the HTC web site? Or does the manila upgrade include WM 6.1?
2. Does the installation of manilla include the OS or it is just as simple as installing a program?
3. Can u please point me in the direction of the latest stable version of Manila for the TYTN II without any fancy skins. I want the original skin.
4. And finally, i have an older MDA running WM5. Will manila work on it? Or is this asking too much?
Many Many thanks in advance !!

1. You'll have to get it through the official HTC site.
2. Manilla is a 'skin' that sits on top of wm6.1, refer to the various threads for install instructions.
3. Currently release 19b, but be aware its no where near 'complete' - it functions but no way i could use it daily on my TyTnII.
4. Maybe. Probably not. Try it and let us know.

yes it works with TYTN II (also called kaiser) actualy it works 100% with some of the cooked roms you find in the Kaiser forum. and it's perfectly capable of day to day use. if release 19b is not usefull for day to day use then go for a cooked rom because all of them are perfect for day to day use.
I've been runing manila 2d on all my devices for weeks without any problems.

ok thanks mate !

Problem could have easily been answered / solved by reading. Closing thread.

[Q] Beginner needs answer

Hello, I just registered to the forum. I was going round the threads, I have read some tutorials, but I didn't really find an answer to my question.
I'm going to buy a touch HD in switzerland. Maybe I will buy the german version. I can speak german but I don't know if it will be really comfortable for me. That's why I was reading the tutorial on how to use the xxxxship.exe (changing your device to a new version).
BUT if I don't have problems with the language, and the language is fine I understand all and I don't need to change to english or italian (my motherlanguage)....are there reasons that I should change something to the phone?
Everybody here on the forum is using custom roms, is adding - deleting applications and so on. Is the 'normal' version so bad?
As a beginner, what do you recommend me to do with a factory-new touch HD? Update WM to 6.5 ? Try immediately a custom rom from XDA ?
Thanks and sorry if i wrote stupid questions, the forum is really big and difficult to understand for a beginner.

No reasons, If you use official ROMs without problems (too slow, some problem with some programs, you want new components but HTC doesn't etc) else you could stay with it.
I preferred use HardSPL and Cooked ROMs (see my signature) because TIM ROM is horrible and old... now my HD is better functional

Hi rogermorse, welcome to the world of windows mobile!
As a beginner, its not necessary to change your rom - the official one works fine. You want to get the hang of windows mobile first before attempting any flash. I do have to say that WM has a bit of a learning curve but once you get past that its really good all-rounder device that is very useful in many occasions. Just trying out all the apps (free and commercial) available out there will keep you busy for awhile. Also you will be able to see whether your device has any hardware faults after using it for a month (if faulty most conk out sooner than later). Remember also that changing to an unofficial rom will void your warranty... you want all faults ironed out before you change rom because sometimes you physically cannot reflash back to an official rom for service.
Cooked roms here mostly focus on tweaks, stability and speed and some graphically enhanced. As new devices come out, their OS and default application packages are updated - these are ported to our device so we can also enjoy these updates.
Its a whole new world once you get on the bandwagon!!!

Best advice would be get used to your own phone and stock rom first. Read the manual, read the wiki. Get used to all the functions.
If you are happy with phone, then excellent. If however you are not happy with certain software/functions. Search for fixes and read up on them. If in future you would like to change to a cooked rom, again, search and then read up on them.

Also there are not only faults in the Stock ROM, in the custom ROMs there are newer applications and builds of the operating system. Some even have (or most of them nowadays) Windows 6.5 and/or Touch Flo 3D 2.5, which is better looking and has more functions.
