OK, So I am completely new to this stuff on a consumer basis. I used to work for Symbol Technologies testing Windows Mobile 5 when it was still in alpha/beta on our products. Now, my question for you all is Which is your favorite ROM?
I have been looking around here and I have found a few, I was able to get my SIM unlocked and my SID unlocked in about 20 mins on my Cingular 8125 So Thank you all for your contributions on that
I also learned a ton of stuff about these devices that even after working with them for almost a year I didnt know.
I decided to make this poll not only for my own curiousity, but for those people who are new to this like I am and want a qucik opinion on whats best out there. If i leave something out let me know
Thanks again everyone for this forum, its awsome!
I'm sure I've left a lot out, but I put the roms on this poll that i frequently came across in reading all the posts I've hit
T-Mobile 2.26 is my favourite, but faria 3.2 is a good candidate.
Faria rom by yards! It was the first rom to really wow me since the release of mobile 2005!
according to the poll ..
anyways i've tried farias, might give it another shot but i liked Molski's rom so as soon as i saw the upgrade i wanted to give it a try. im happy with it get the job done.
Faria's !
Without the slightest hesitation !
Cheers

I think it is kind of like asking "what is the best car". I have not seen a "bad" ROM yet here, but what are you looking for - speed or features or comfort and ease or ????? - again just like a car. You will find it from any of the "wizards" (pun intended) who put the results of their efforts on here for you - most noticeably Faria, Shogunmark, Molski, Risidoro, and Summiter (WHERE IS HE??).
I must have flashed my phone 20 or more times by now, with never once having a problem - JUST FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!! Try a few and see what you like.

Funny, I thought the same thing this morning. And I LOVE your ROM. But I've avoided being one of the 20 million people asking you to hurry up and release RC1 so now I'll use this Poll as an excuse: bring RC1 out now and you will CRUSH this poll!!!

Wow! That is amazing stuff. I knew about the drive crash, but not that you still needed info. I could reinstall Beta 4 and try the voice command deal you asked about, but I know nothing about the page pool.
Anyway, all good stuff, and your ROM is destined for greatness.
Got my kaiser/tytn2 today
So I am leaving herald community and venturing over to kaiser.
What do that mean for herald? Well, Im gonna finish my 3 latest projects. The rom for p4350 wwe, and the norwegian rom. And ofcourse I will finish the tutorial.
But thats not all I am gonna do, I am gonna upload the sys, oem and rom folders for both wing and p4350. And I am also gonna upload a section of oem packages, some I have made, but mostly stuff I have found all over the forum. I will make it easy and add the oem packages into the OEM kitchen folder. This means that when you choose to build your rom, you will get a list of whats inside the oem folder, and then you can check or uncheck w/e you want to include in your rom.
The files and folders are no longer limited to personal use, if you wanna share your rom, please do so. But the condition will be that all roms released using the kitchen files (oem, rom and sys) a note with credits to the one spending alot of hours building for you
Im not leaving completly, incase some few are gonna miss me Im gonna check in once in a while and help out, and follow some up on the tutorial.
I cant promise this will be done this weekend, but I can promise that it will be all finished sometime before next weekend. That include the tutorial.
Now Im gonna dump my norwegain kaiser, and see what can be done with it
cheers
We'll miss you... unless you buy me a Kaiser, and then I'll just be happy along with you. lol
Anyhoo, I think my kitchen is finally done, (I've yet to try out the last ROM I've made) and it's all thanks to your base ROM (Minus some tweaking...)
I'll also be using Hyperkitchen to make some more tweaked ROMs. Hopefully, I'll become the next itje... without a kaiser...
Congrats my friend and excellent that you received your kaiser. Is it the Kaiser 120 (with 3meg pixel camera and and video calling capabilities)? This is definitely a step up for you (and your phone, lol). This is a step I look forward to making in a month. Although you're going to be relocating to the Kaiser forum and your new home will be there, your frequent presence and guidance here will be missed for sure .. and I will go out on a limb to say that's on the behalf of everyone here, lol. I'm sure that forum will treasure your insight and expertise. I'm also happy to hear you're not just leaving us, you're still going to make guest appearances here, LOL, and remain a consultant (sort of speak) for us amateur and experienced rom cookers.
Remember, you can always come back HOME (here, lol), if thing don't work out over there, LOL.
As for me, I'm using your latest beta version now, but I think I'm going to downgrade and use version 2 for my herald instead due to it's stability, until you have the final versions posted. I'm struggling with the keyboard issue, lol. Itje, Thank you for everything. PS .. The kaiser forum will be my new home in a month anyway, lol. So look forward to picking your brain, lol.
Congrats on the new handset. I know Ive been eyeballing the kaiser for a while but I need T-Mobile to carry it so I can get the employee discount.
I think I can speak for the rest of the herald and wing users when I say that we appreciate all the work you've put into the wing and herald. And of course, I cant wait for the finished tutorial!

nice one itje will miss you too when you are not often around here in the herald forums ....
but the best thing is that you will upload the oem packages, sys and oem folder and that you will finish the tutorial. THIS IS F****NG GREAT
You will be missed.
Have fun with your new phone, I'm not quite ready to upgrade. I think I am going to see what HTC has up its sleeve next. Thanks for everything.
ITJE, I heard the Kaiser is a piece of crap. I suggest you get rid of it and stay with the Herald.
Seriously, I really appreciate all the work that you've done and given me much inspiration on cooking my own ROM for the Wing. You were like my Faria from the MDA forum when I used to carry that around.
I hope you enjoy your shiny new toy.
Lets have a farewell party and get drunk!!! haha
Oh, I am going to buy the kaiser whenver T-mobile USA releases it...
Its way too rich for my blood! Wing will do for now.
i don't mean to be a butt, but (lol) didn't you say that if we recooked and released one of your roms, you would stop cooking for herald? So now, can we do so without your permission? Or would you like to set another policy.

Nice that you are finishing the new Norwegian rom for the P4350 I just wanna thank you for all your hard work and i'm happy that there are people like tou oute there .. hehe..
We will all miss you
Reading this thread seems that Itje had bigger problems. Luckily his bigger problem by now is getting used to his new device.
Thank you for all your efforts and nice work. All of your "betatesters" come to this thread to say goodbye. That's quite nice. Maybe the forum masters should consider creating a hall-of-fame for all of those who made it worth visiting daily. You have my vote.
Good luck and, who knows, maybe be meet again at the kaiser's forum.
P.S. Again, I'll be connecting daily hoping to find your (last) releases...
so itje when do you think you will release all your stuff here? cant wait to grab it off and take your position in the herald forums maybe i will be the next rom cooker. until now i have read much hours instuctions to build an own rom and i had no problem using your excellent instruction you posted here .....
miss ya maybe i will catch up a kaiser to and follow you *smile*
Just wanted to say thanks to itje, if it wasnt for your ROMS i would have jumped ship to the Kaiser along time ago! I guess I was spoilt as a Wizard user with all the roms available, but it was nice to have at least one chef for the herald. Thanks again.
Thanks Man,
If you didn't help with the roms... a piec of this phone would have ended up in a tmo reps A$$..
Thanks again
enjoy the incresed power!
please do not resurrect month old threads. sorry if i sound like a butt (no reference to past posts intended, but it IS convenient)
I will miss you man.
Anyone have the HTC_TouchDialer OEM pack or just the rgu file.
Trying too cook again, missing the finishing touches. [Whats that burning smell?]
Oh, one more thing; how do I preset the settings for battery status, today screen, etc. (I don't want to be screwing with settings after flashing).
I have it working for the most part (it flashes and works....mostly), I'm just trying to figure out how to get the rest of it working the way I want it to.
Thanx!
Ok, can't get the bluetooth working either.
I can't get this to work and I really don't have time to figure it out.
I just wanted to cook a rom with MS VoiceCommand built in since everyone else excludes it.
Anyone have a MS VoiceCommand cab?
ROM cooking == headache.
You guys have a WHOLE lot more patience then I do.

Yes, cooking roms can become a head ache... It takes time to cook a good rom. As for the oem packages, just search the forum, there all over the place.
Good luck,

I was really frustrated last night. I ended up putting Open Touch 3.0 Slimline back on and actually paying for MS Voice Command 1.6 ($40 USD.... ouch).

Why would did you buy it? If you really had to have it then you should have PM me and I would have tried to find time and cook a custom rom for you instead of wasting your money like that...
I don't mind helping people, when I have time.
I will work on yet another release with voice command included to help prevent others from having to waste their money.

I just got used to hitting the button on the side of my phone and saying
"Call Jamie Cell" and it dials Jamie's mobile number.
The rest of slimline is great.
If you ever need a touch dialer or comm manager skin, let me know.
ttran001 I could really use your help on cooking some roms up. I already have my OEM SYS and ROM folders extracted. Just a lil confused on how to add and subtract stuff. PM me some time and maybe you can set up a lesson for me when you have some free time. Appreciated

I want to join such lesson too. The only reason i'm not cooking my ROMs is that i don't know what things can i remove from the SYS folder, how to change page pool size without a page pool size changer, and how can i get so much free RAM as ttran does.
So ttran, if you would open a learning thread, i'll be the first one to read it!

Folks,
I will try to open a thread to help you out as soon as I get some free time from my other projects and trying to fix minor issues folks are having with me releases..
But please remember that I too had to spend lots of hours reading from this great forum and after hundreds of test flashs finally got where I am now.
I'm only a beginer cook compared to some of the great ones in this forum.
The main point is it takes time to figure things out and when you do you will know it like the back of your hand.
If some one show you everything, then what have you really learned?
This is about becoming a cook of roms for users to enjoy.
Itje wrote a very good howto cook thread and should be a very good starting point for anybody who wants to become a cook.
What I've learned is that it's not about cooking a good rom and having people say cool stuff about yourself, it's about cooking a good stable rom where users enjoy and rely on daily.
Sorry for such a long post,
I lost mine in a cab.. grrrrr...
Anyhow, I may be looking for a replacement. I am in Tokyo and would obviously need to get it shipped.
PM me with a price.
Thanks,
Ray

thinking of selling
how much can u offer since i am going to get a diamond. my tilt has the cube, touchflo, and plug ins already and a clean sd
im also thinking of selling my phone.. how much can you give me for it? i just used an I phone... i had to say it is fast and smooth.. now i think i want one.
tilt seems and feels slow...
With Cuboosh aka. Jakeypoo fresh in mind you should read that tread to get tips how to insure against simular stuff happening to you (not aimed at anyone in this tread, just in general).

Lost it in a cab? Just install the CAB and it will self-extract.
I love my Tilt and don't think I'll be parting with it anytime soon. BUT for the Right price I'd let it go.

Which is why I would prefer to deal with someone from here with some posts behind them.
Now that I am thinking about it. A diamond would only be about 200 bucks more than replacing my kaiser.... arrrggh what to do. I also now just found out I have to fly to North America next week so may be a good time to pickup a diamond.
If I make a decision I will reply via PM to the guys above with an offer.
Thanks again,

Hi all first and mostly I want to apologise for not giving you a ROM, but due to recent activities here I decide to stop my work here and stop making ROMS for now.
For People who dont know already I was asked to cook for X1 and was donated a device which XMOO sent to me.
I also was working on HD AND WAS CURRENTLY TIED UP IN making a ROM FOR IT. I was also working on X1 ROM, but didnt have time between both devices and I stopped for awhile.
Since my last HD ROM ALot of stuff , issues, etc arise here on XDA and I was the main attraction, long story short ,
I given up cooking at the moment and I feel bad not making a rom for u guys, The rom I have still needs work doing and I cant support it if I release it as I have a lot of personal stuff I need taking care of.
I contacted XMOO about sending the device to him so you Guys can decide what to do with it or give it to another CHEF, ETC,
Once again my sincere apology especially for all those who believe in me and all my supporters but whats happened here has really put me off.
If there are any better advise on how to donate the device back to the community just let me know.
Thanks Dutty.
Sorry to see you go Dutty, best of luck with you and your family!
On a selfish note though, any chance you can release what you already have for the X1? Would love to try it, bugs and all, knowing that you wont be supporting it.
sorry to hear about this. this is a real loss to the community. hope you change you mind soon
any chance of convincing you to to realease your unfinished rom at least the cooks over hee can build on top of it.
oops....just noticed tjax reply
Like many others I was looking forward in trying your ROM for the X1.
With an ackward eye did I follow the stuff going on in the Blackstone forum and respect your decision to leave the forum, although it breaks my heart a bit.
Best of luck to you and your family!
Maybe we'll see you in the future....
If you could release the kitchen /sources to the X1 community, then maybe some other enterprising chef could pick up where you left off. I'm interested in learning the process behind creating a ROM but I'll be honest and say I wouldn't know where to start, even after reading some guides here on XDA-Dev.
Thanks for at least considering making a community ROM, and good luck with what you go on to do Dutty.
Goodluck to you and hopes everything turns out for the better. I know everyone was looking forward for your ROM here, and some just couldnt wait and start saying things they do not mean. All in all thanks for your effort...my suggestion regarding the X1 KEEP it until maybe one day you can bless us with your work.
The device should be sold and everyone who donated should get their money returned.
Dutty has quit. Bugger.... Might get an iphone? Gotta say, that Palm Pre looks pretty cool?
Wait for the Touch Pro 2 Clove is taking pre orders
Its a sad day and I hope to see Dutty back in XDA asap, but **** happens...
Maybe XMOO should PM everyone who donated for this, we could see together over PM's if there is someone else who we would think would benefit the X1 community so much, that we want donate the device to.
If we are talking abotu selling MAYBE I could be interested, but just maybe at this point... I would rather see it go to good use...
I was one of the donators and my suggestion is to sell the phone and donate the money to xda.
Well Im not 100% behind that... I have donated to XDA with my two usernames and will donate in the future, but this was meant to other use...
Wasn't Xmoo after a spare to do some Android work, maybe it could be used for that
Been following your work Dutty eventhough i own a Raphael.. well sad to see all the hecticness that were around. Well the best thing you could to is to take care of personal life first... xda forum will allways be here... good luck bro.. keep an eye on devs here so they don't go on wrong paths .. they might need your knowledge some times.. well anyway take care of your self first
Well Dutty all are behind you on this... about the X1 let Xmoo decide.
but i as all cooks here are very interested in your blackstone rom 1.9 and if that can be ported to X1, please please please contact me or any good chef out there and make a final contribute
that would be like, well lets call it religous
hey Dutty!
Im really sorry to hear that you're leaving. A sad day for the xda community!
I just wish you all the best and hope you'll return one day or if you're moving somewhere else let us know!
Thanks for your great roms!
So much has been said on the whole "Dutty Dilemma" (Someone should write a book about it! )
My first and last comment on it: Too bad it happened, Dutty has been wronged.
On the device, I'm not a donator, but I'd say let him keep it after all the crap.
If people strongly feel it must be sold, I'm a potential buyer.
Still hoping for Dutty to change his mind and put the X1 he got to use though.

im somewhat sure he needed one for siassambly reasons. to check hardware etc.
id rather have android on my hpone anyway but since i donated nothing ... let the donaters decide
@dutty
well to sad, ive never seen any of your roms since this is my first winmopho. but still, GL and have fun out there
The sad thing about it is that it wasn't the people on the xperia thread that were giving him so much hell. The people that donated the device to Dutty supported him the whole way. I would say at the least the people who donated the funds to get the device should get his beta rom.
Thats my last two cents
