I am seeing daily that ROMs are flooding this page. Can anybody tell me what is the best ROM as of today so that we can try also? That should be stable and less battery consuming.
well the best is what the members are PRESENTLY using.
and it changes very fast cause we flash/try every new cooked rom, we don't stay on one rom for so long...
so just try it ALL out and find out for yourself.

Thanks but not everybody is geek and cannot afford to flush its pda daily to see. So please tell me which is the best one so far?
the released WM6.1 is still the BEST because it came from HTC.
HTC haven't release an official WM6.5 rom for the Opal.
PhamQuang roms are great imo
im currently lookin for a clean rom but rightnow im using PhamQuang´s WM6.5 ROM V24 u can find it here:
this rom only problems (i found so far) are the dot on the calculator doesnt work (its really annoying) and a few visual problems because not all software is made to fit whit the satrt button on bottom.....
the best one always will be the one u like the most
post here which one u decide to use so we can check it out
good luck

Thanks for your reply!
I used one or two but were very buggy. So I reverted back to 6.1 and it is working very good until now. My problem is that I have installed many books related to my profession. I cannot afford to install all my programs on daily basis.
So I am waiting for a good stable version of 6.5. I don't want any manilla 2D. I have installed spb pocket plus and deactivated manila 2d.

if you dont want to install all your apps (contacts, alarms, email settings,sms...) everytime you flash your phone use a backup.... i use spbbackup and it backup even when you change rom just make sure you save your backup file on the storage card and you r done.
the only problem is that app is not free but use the trial version or look for the serial (i cant provide, forum rules).....

I am using spb back up utility. But is it possible that I backup in 6.1 and extract in 6.5???? I think no because the system files differ??

As the title suggests...
I have an O2 XDA11s which I have flashed from WM2003 to sun_dreams WM6.1 Pro
does anyone have an updgrading procedure for flashing to sun_dreams's latest ROm Beta?......wanna ensure i do it right so i dont burn the phone!!
easly
1-boot loader(power+recorder+hard reset)usb connection.
2-run MaUpgradeUt.exe of the rom.
3-wait until finish.
4-then format(record+camera+hrd reset) chose(no,yes,yes,)message bottun.
5-have fun.
the wm6.1 pro is far stabel than 6.5. and as my experience, the WM6.5 is messy alot. (a huge loading icon, plus huge Menu font which i smalled through the resco registry. Startup is slower than sundream's aku 1.4.1
If you want the microsoft touch scroll in drop down menus, go for 6.5, otherwise touch scrolling works perfect in 6.1 aku 1.4.1 too
I just vote for the 6.1 (aku 1.4.1) coz its the best stable rom, Plus IE 8 makes it superb (youtube on the go and its stable too)
i suggest not to upgrade to wm6.5
as topic stated it's still a BETA, so if u want stability pls stick to the previous sun_dream rom.
I am using sun_dream's WM6.5beta and as far as it goes it is still stable with all the apps that I have. Just some VERY MINOR bugs.
Oh Really?
how stable is that? can you simplfy it here man.
trying to upgrade using instructions but no luck! using vista........

When I upgraded from wm5 - 6.1 I used vista. In the process I got the Blue Screen of Death at 83%...not nice feeling. This is after I had changed the drivers for active sync.
Anyhow I kept on trying (3 attempts) and it worked thankfully not bricking the device.
Now I try and run the exe. And it just says checking device and don’t disconnect device. There is no progress from there????
Thanks.
at the moment i think its a big risk
I'm currentlly using vista and had flashed my BA a dozen times with no problem you just need to follow the Guide at the WiKi under Flashing in Vista part.

What kinda bugs?
I'm about to flash my BA with WM6 and I'm just wondering which one should I choose 6.1 or 6.5. I appreciate stability, speed and that wifi, bt, phone apps function correctly. Any info on those? What I don't need is "eyecandy". How about battery consumption?
Appreciate any info and comparison between 6.1 and 6.5
-Jigi
P.S. Great work guys(Explode, Sundream, Red_hanks and others)! I was about to toss my BA away but with help from this forum I'll keep using it.
have just upgrade to 6.1.. thought would try first before 6.5...also finding very stable!!
Hey guys
I Have rom 1.43 from UK, and I saw that a new upgrade is available to ROM 1.48, should I upgrade or is the 1.61 rom soon to be released.
Please advise as I have so many apps and its will take hours to get everything back, so it worth upgrading to 1.48????

Nobody knows...
Nobody knows when the 1.6x rom will be released. Nobody knows if you find it worth the effort... Nobody knows if you have any issues with the current rom and whether it will be fixed in the new version.
Sorry if this answer comes across a bit harsh, but how can other people decide for you if it's worth the upgrade. I don't believe there are any major changes between 1.43 and 1.48... No one knows yet what will be fixed in a 1.6x update, and when it will be officially released.
There is a turkish/WWE version floating around which appearantly has the camera fix included but I haven't noticed anything major in that one either.
Then again, using Sashimi and pimbackup flashing a new rom isn't that much work afterall (the only custom stuff I have to do is setup email acount and some shortcuts...)
So perhaps it's an idea to look into Sashimi which is a real timesaver when you flash roms often.
you should get spb backup, makes ROM upgrading so much easier, I upgraded from 1.43 to 1.48 in minutes and without having to reinstall anything

Sashimi takes over the reinstalling part as well and didn't have very good experiences with SPB Backup in the past. Perhaps it's better now though

Not really, SPB Backup has a "new ROM" mode. I don't think it screwed anything in my upgrade.
Best thing to do is use windows myphone and then make sure your micro sd is out. Installing apps doesnt take that much time anyway (well it depends how many you have!) Always best to set it up again incase anything comes back across
I also have 1.43 but I am not upgrading so far, because everything works well for me. If there's need for an upgrade - do it. If not, don't In the new rom, there are no new features as far as I know.
I'm in the same boat but am waiting as the only real problem I have is the SMS lag (No i will not disable the sense UI as I like it!!), and not getting any voicemail notifications, and these are not directly addressed in the 1.48 update so i'll wait and hope....

People making all kind of magic "registry cleaners" also do think they are doing right, useful and harmless stuff.
Clean installation is the only way to have confidence that *everything* will work *as intended*.

Have you complain to HTC? I have email them already, I think we need more people bugging them
Are we all blind?? But 1.61 has been "released" That is one of the offical WWE roms coming from HTC.
Simple answer, If it isn't broken don't fix it
There aren't a lot of bug fixes in 1.48 or 1.61, some minor speed increases in the latter but I'd wait till 1.65 or whatever is due after 1.61. (1.61 doesn't include the SMS fix..the next patch will though)

quote from Update for HTC HD2 – SMS Function Update from the link above!
"Note: This update is only applicable to ROM version is equal to 1.49.XXX.X, or lower"
(I have search and found nothing as of yet)
Most ROMs now are being made with manila version 2.5.1922. I really dont like the 1922 version as lots of things DONT work with it, such as HDWall, and there are only a select few cookers still using 1921.
So my question is, is there anyway to downgrade the manila version after getting a 1922 cooked rom?
Thanks in advance

You should have a look at Duttys Rom, I have been using it for a few days now as I had problems with my txt messaging on L3v5y's Rom and it runs really well and smooth. It also has 1921 Sense on it and a decent amount of memory left after installation.

Its a very nice stable rom you should like it. Read up about the Autoinstall feature from the storage card its a really fast way to reinstall all your device cabs without having to do it all manually. I have 19 cabs in my Autoinstall folder so it saves me ALOT of time.

I would like to have your opinion: which cooked ROM is the cleanest and lightest ROM without all those "slowing" HTC customizations?
Or if this is not possible, which ROM has the least f those HTC embedded apps?
My ideal ROM is that one which has succesfull get rid of Manila, HTC messaging and all the other staff, except one: Compass.
At the moment I am satisfied with Freyberry Barebone: but up to now I cannot get rid of HTC Contacts, (I cannot re-enable the default MS Outlook Contact)
Thanks and waiting

I understand that some of HTC customizations cannot be removed, but I wish to find a ROM which has the least of them.

Hi All,
Could one of the cooks please create a ROM similar to the following?
I have a need for a Vanilla WM 6.5.5 ROM. That is without sense, htc comm manager, or any htc customizations that are not essential for the ROM.
I would like no Youtube app and viewing youtube videos from m.youtube.com enabled as they are currently disabled and they redirect to youtube app. Also when viewing Youtube videos in IE and I try to go full screen it goes to fullscreen portrate mode, could landscape fullview be enabled also?
If their is already a ROM like this could someone please point me in the right direction as I have been searching for a few weeks now and found none. I did try Energy ROM titanium but it was too customized for my liking.
I would prefer not to have to cook my own ROM as I am not very good at it. I used to cook my own ROM's for my Touch Diamond but I always had problems so I have given up on cooking.
Thankyou

But this ROM won't flash on your HTC HD2, you need a CID/Security Unlocked HTC HD2 for that.

Hi, I am planning on making a vanilla version of my ROM. It will have no HTC application what so ever and will be stripped down to a bare windows version.
thanks that will be great. I am currently using miri xtralight ROM for now but m.youtube.com doesn't work but flash video on most other sites work. please when you make your rom can you make sure the site work in ie.
