Hi everyone, I am a bit of a flash junky thanks to the great selection of ROM's here at XDA-Developers, many thanks to all the great cooks here!!, but every time I flash a original ROM 1.56 or above when I restore my contacts and appointments via PPCPimBackup (v2.8.0.0) I experienced a slow photo contact problem, i.e. when I scroll through my contacts pictures this is extremely slow? it can take 3-4 seconds slowly flipping say 3 contact photos? not a problem with any cooked ROM?
I have tried tweaking the original ROM's via HD Tweak 0.5.4 but everything I have tried doesn’t work in speeding up contact photos in manila?
I am pretty much happy with most of the cooked ROM's available here, and the speed is generally much faster than the original ROM's, but wondered why the slow contacts tab in manila is appearing now?
Here’s hoping someone can clarify the problem for me.
Thanks again to everyone who contributes their valuable time here XDA-Developers.

May I ask why you continulously flash back to original rom? Why not stick with cooked rom's if problem only occurs on original?
Hi..
Hi Fallen Spartan.
I always flash back to original ROM before I flash a new cooked ROM, mainly because I found that through the flashing process, my varous PDA's over the years leave reminents of other ROM's can still be left in PDA?
I sometimes use original ROM's if I have to use TomTom alot, i.e. the lag is better with an original ROM?

as far as im aware, i've been flashing cooked ROMs for the last 6months and everytime i flash i dont go back to the stock rom, i just flash each rom after the other and nver had any problems, i am a loyal fan of Dutty's ROMs, but i also try other Roms to suit my likes, we are really fortunate for these cooks, we can only but help them by reporting bugs and the likes and offer inspiration and donations. all the best

No need to flash back to original rom. Once new rom is flashed all aspects of previous are lost unless you use backup software and restore registry changes.

Hi, still trying to decide which ROM to flash, but...
Will the programs originally installed on the device eg. mobile office, remain on the device or will they be removed?
It depends on what the new ROM has in it. Most of the ROMS I've seen have mobile office plus a lot of other great apps.
Also, once you flash, you loose all of your personal files, I always keep them on the SD Card.
Before anyone else may tell this to you...
DON'T DARE TO FLASH YOUR DEVICE!!!!
Reading your doubt, it's clear you haven't read any piece of informations written on this forum and it's clear you'll end up bricking your device.
I'm writing this to you cause as you can see from my posts number I'm a newbie too... but reading-reading and reading again I succeed to flash my 2 htc device whitout the need to ask anything... everything is just explained.
But you need to follow word by word what is written and, let me say that, you havent read a lot, dont you???
BTW, to be more usefull, flashing your device will erase everything (OS included) on it and then install newer versions of originally shipped programs and many other goodies (if you are upgrading, of course... and depending on the ROM you choose). (Extended-ROM is a discussion apart ... again: read&read&read!)

Thanks for your concern.
I must say though, that I am reading everything I come across.
I haven't as of yet decided which ROM I will use, but I'm not stupid. I won't flash until I'm confident I have learned enough to do so, and asking questions helps you learn.
get a list of things which you want in your rom, pick the one which meets most of them or the most important ones.
faria, molski and ppctuning seem to have the best roms. some programs are not yet fully working on wm6 (spb time is one example i use a lot), the (now quite old) 2.3 aku are the fastest roms. then wm6. then aku 3+
faria has a lot of apps in the rom so if you use those, you can save a lot of space for installing other stuff (games etc) which are less commonly used by others.
YMMV. this is just what i have found by trying nearly 20 different roms, i don't use my phone for much so most of the stuff in roms i don't use, i just use the fastest rom, which for me is the ppctuning superrom1.1

Thanks, now I know what I'm looking for I can look in the right places.
Hello everyone, after spending looooooooong time sesarching only to find several people have the same issue as me, i am looking for an application that makes one of my fav apps run in vga? i am installing it and the buttons and layout is all messed up, currently using energy rom, had same problem on elite rom, and on lantisos rom, only ones that worked was stock rom and romeos 1.40
here is an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3168707&postcount=924
Is there a way to fix this? or do i need to flash another rom ? id hate to go back when spo much new superb roms come out.
A great thank you to all, and especially to those who can help me.
Is there a way to combine certain elements from different roms into one? For example, I like the speed of EnergyRom, the start menu and program icons of MaryOne, and the slider icons of Dutty R14. Am I able to take these different things and use them on my phone at the same time?
You'd better ask some cookers to get precious cabs !
I was always told that installing a whole bunch of cabs has less performance then cooking in the cabs into the Rom itself.
My thoughts on this is to become a chef if you want parts of this and that to make the ultimate Rom....
a good rom
I've tried this rom today. Everything goes well. It's really a good rom.

What rom are you talking about???
Hi all, new here and very interested in Kaiser customization and modding!
My very basic question is...what is really the BEST WinMo 6.5 ROM for the Kaiser? My model is the ATT Tilt...dont think that matters though.
I have installed a few different ROMs and while some of them are OK most have UI problems (weird side orientation, stretch icons, very unresponsive touch commands, etc...) and just dont seem to work "right" for lack of a better word.
Ive been searching for just the plain jane vanilla WinMo 6.5 ROM as I am looking to get just the basic OS and install the programs I want and need...not what someone else thinks is good. I cant seem to find one though...all the "vanilla" versions of ROMs Ive found seem to still have unnecessary programs (RAM cleaner, various themes, unresponsive programs, etc...) and aren't really "vanilla"...
Also, as a side question...when I was researching about flashing my phone a lot of people said to make sure to note my radio version and what not...except for each ROM Ive tried my radio information and everything else associated with it havent change...is this normal? I must admit that I currently do not use ATT and cant test the phones working status (got the phone via trade) and was wondering if the original radio version still the same, it should work no problem right?
Thanks to everyone that is willing to help a n00b!
Well, as far as BEST is concerned...there really is no best ROM out there...this question has been asked time and time again on more than likely everyone of these forums on XDA, and the answer is always the same. Keep flashing until you find one that YOU like and that suits YOUR everyday needs. I for example like the fully loaded STAXX STYLES WM 6.5.1 ROM...which you may end up hateing because of all the preinstalled stuff. Just flash a bunch of different ones until you find what you like.
And in regards to your radio question...some ROMs include an upgraded or different radio, and some do not. Most of the time the recommended radio ROM will be listed on the ROMs download thread. Different runs of the Kaiser require different radio ROMs in order for WiFi, GPS, GPRS and the camera to function. So basically, flash to a ROM that you wan't to try, and test it with the radio ROM that you already have installed. If everything functions correctly, there is no real reason to change it. If something does NOT function, try flashing to the radio ROM that the ROM cook reccomends...and if none is recommended simply use the latest one.
The best ROM is subjective and a personal opinion..
The best thing you can do is look @ popular threads and see what's peoples opinions, then flash, flash, flash till you find the ROM your happy to use for everyday purpose.
Just as we do with all best ROM threads, thread closed.
hey guys my names marc and im pretty much completely new to flashing cooked roms. ive flash oem roms on my tilt before but when it comes to trying to find a good crooked rom or even really just how to do it correctly without bricking my phone im at a lost. Reading all the stuff is starting to make it highly confusing lol. Im really just trying to find a good stable wm 6.5 rom maybe with a couple tweaks for my phone bc im so tired of this basic 6.1 i have on my phone right now with all the gayness that insuades from it with all the bugs and lags. If any of you guys could help that would be awesome. Please help im
So you're saying that the step by step guide is too hard for you to use?
I'm not sure how someone else can help you better, 7 steps aren't that many. I would suggest you not even try to flash roms on this phone if the below link is too difficult to use.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
I've only tried a few cooked ROMs with my new (only slightly used by previous owner) Kaiser, but flashed quite a few onto my Elfin, and those experiences give me a good sense of when a WM phone is 'happy' and when it's not. I've settled on following development by ahmedfikry, as his bare-bones WM6.5.3 ROM are really snappy in response, and allow a lot of flexibility for the user to install, or not, any software into main memory (Windows folder) they like. Installing to that folder, rather than the usual \Program Files or onto microSD, is preferable to maintain smooth operation for some kinds of programs, especially important for Today plugins and system enhancing plugins such as SPB shell stuff, etc. Using his fairly simple guide, I found it dead easy to flash. The only hesitation I had was in selecting from the sometimes un-described enhancement CABs in his XDA_UC folder (placed in the microSD root directory, installed automagically on first boot after flashing without any user initiation), as being new to the Kaiser I was not yet familiar with some of these. But there seems nothing overly difficult there, just a bit of research perhaps. I'll tweak my selections further next time I have a few hours to flash and manually customize per my preferences.
His ROM thread is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618767
I really do highly recommend this version. I need my phone every day for work, and cannot afford a buggy ROM or I'd annoy customers too much. My Elfin sort of kind of died, so the Kaiser is it for me. With this ROM my Kaiser is happy. Next flash, I'll be putting a host of my long time favourite apps into that UC folder, as the Kaiser has plenty of main memory I otherwise don't use.
hey thanks "GerardSamija" yeah i use my tilt for pretty much the same deal. my phoneis my job pretty much i use it to keep up contacts through and make many business related calls and such. so exactilly what i was looking for is rom without to much bloatware and wasnt buggy or laggy so this seems to be a good fit thanks again
