Any ROM Recommendations?? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hello all,
I due to take delivery of my Blackstone tomorrow which I am assuming will have Orange firmware on it. I don't want my initial impression of the Blackstone to be tarnished so will want to get rid off it.
Can you guys point me toward a fast and more importantly stable 6.1 rom with manila 2.1.
Thanks in advance...

All the latest wm6.1 manila 2.1 roms would be fast and stable with little or no bugs. I suggest you try some of the latest roms created by the most used chefs including Miri, PhamQuang, NRG, Throy, Laurentius etc. All of these chefs have produced fast reliable wm6.1 manila 2.1 roms. You could also check out this thread on benchmarks, which is good starting point for comparing roms. All available roms can be downloaded either in the rom development forum, in the wiki here or HTCPedia

Look my signature.

Tried it, moved on. The first pdaviet rom was much better. Now i'm moving on to itjes 6.1 rom. Problably sticking with TouchIT as always :=)
Anyone that can translate the difference between the two pdaviet roms out ?
The obvious is some newer apps.

[REQUEST] I ask all cookers to share lite/Xtralite Version WM6.1&WM6.5

Please Please Please,
After the Onkolog's departure, I don't find light or xtralight rom on xda. I think that some people are interested in this study. I ask the cookers to share light version of your ROM (WM6.1 or WM6.5) (without the program) and customizable.
Thank you all for your excellent work.

I have changed the title of your thread as its misleading to tothers. You only put [ROM][Light] if you are providing a lite rom. Your thread is a request, so should only state [REQUEST]
Rick
I look forward to this as well
I think I might be able to help in this case.
Would it be a totally naked version of WM or with some apps included? Im thinking about doing one without any application, just windows..
I would want JUST windows releases as well... For creating a manilla like total replacement program.

Uploading a ultralite version of the WM6.5 21869 build. Has NOTHING, no APPS included at all
EDIT: Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?3myfmzemhjd
u heard of vanilla??? from kwbr only barebone bits included someone described it as DAMN SMALL WINDOWS in comparison to damn small linux lol.
have a look on the link

heres kwbrs roms on celogeek not sure which one it is there though.
http://blog.celogeek.com/mobile/cooked-rom/mirror-for-all-kwbrs-roms/
try it out, why are you interested in the light roms?
@polarrys Nice thread. For WM6.1 you can use Onkologs 21xxx versions. They were the last builds. But more interesting are WM6.5 builds over 23016 with native WM6.5 core. Hope also there'll be some alternatives to Onkologs Lite Roms. Less is sometimes more.
Bump!
I'd certainly be interested!
The versatility of a Lite/Super Lite ROMs I feel makes it appealing to a wider target audience for the simple reason of personal customization.
I can freely admit that I’m still using Onkolog’s WWE WM6.1 21051 1.6.4 Lite ROM which was posted all the way back in June. Very stable, very clean, very fast.
I would also like a "Windows only" ROM. Since most apps are available as cabs it would be possible to have ONLY the apps you need installed.
Any Clean Windows Chefs out there ?

Check my post earlier on...
This is a great idea but is it possible to install the latest version of Manila as a .cab onto an ultralite ROM?
Edit: I checked other parts of the forum and now realise this is not possible, as Manila is too deeply integrated with Windows to make it a standalone installer.

Not exactly what I (we?) am looking for... This is not "no APPS included at all". Maybe from a ROM-cook point of view as in nothing has been added. But from my point of view.. This contains:
Office
Internet Sharing,
Games
MSN Money
Windows Live
etc.
Personally I'm looking for a rom, with only the bear necessities (of life? ) (which means: Windows, File Explorer, stuff like that)
But thanks for giving us a light ROM though
Cheers,
Lennard
Ok give me a list of what you want removed and I will cook it for you.

Xperia X1 - WM6.5 Pure, Clean only WM6.5 ROM

Hello,
I'm looking for latest ROM (Ex. Build 23542) but I don't want any addins or customiztions like HTC, TF3D etc. etc...
I see people regulary post roms, and they mark it as "pure, clean etc." but in real there are always customizations and they are not clean at all..
How does this system work? Where do they find the initial state of the ROM and they add their customizations?
I want the initial state only but the latest rom to flash with storage card method?
Thanks,
Tarik
Try this: http://wcxxperia-nce.com/
I'm using WildChilds pure WM6.5 rom for a month and I'm very happy with it. Great battery and ram performance and you can install what you want on a clean fast rom.
Just register and have fun.

The two I've found most stable are Christian's ROM and gtrab's PURE Series ROM
Really not worth a whole new thread on this! Nearly every week someone asks what the best clean 6.5 ROM is... its largely subjective. Some people prefer one cooked ROM, other will swear by another.
The only way to really know is to look at the available ROMs and try them out.
Once the X2 is released and the chefs manage to get a download of the released ROM that will probably yield the best ongoing solution... but for now, experiment!

i just have one doubt...a ROM is the OS rite??
See, even Touch HD 2(or anyother phone) has WinMO 6.5
BUT HOW do we know what interface it has?? As in even a Touch HD has 6.5 and so does X2..but i wil obviously wont flash my X1 with a Touch HD ROM...??
So how can we decide what ROM is or for what phone????
PS: Im stil looking for a X2 ROM...and as someone mentioned above, till it isnt released, we can get a hold on to it..so i guess i am gonna wait..hehe
CIRCLEOFMEGA: once u read the chef's description of the rom, you will know the interface, this is why many people here say read read read
and only the roms for the x1 will be in the x1 rom forum, so i insist, read read read

[WM6.1 ROM] request - possibly new cook

Hello everyone in the Blackstone thread.
Since I bought my Touch HD I always wanted the defice to perform as best as possible. During the last year I have tried many many ROMs and I have to say - none was bugfree (found one almost perfect - for me . Some bugs could be easily left forgotten as these weren't anyhow cruical.
But some were just heavily noticeable. These were from the WM6.5 world - generally.
After starting to look on the stability and performace, I have realized WM6.1 is still the best system for Touch HD - very fast, no unneeded options, great response.
I am looking right now for the latest WM6.1 ROM with latest HTC Sense 2.1. Or preferably for someone who is still cooking in WM6.1 world for Touch HD. Unfortunately I cannot find one (Dutty's v4.3 FINAL is a little bit outdated, and that's the latest one I have found ;/ ).
Anyone knows about such person?
If not I am going to try my best to cook such ROM, so I would appreciate any comments if there would be anyone interested and/or anyone willing to help me to reach the point. I am avaliable to spend as much time as possible to get this done.
Please leave a comment if you find this interesting for you.

i know raptordin is doing that
w6.1 whit sense2.1
he said he is almost finished
so wait a little more he will post his rom
Look at the Topix thread, Kwbr has been cooking 6.1 roms for quite some time. His 3.1.2 rom is supposedly bugfree!
I'm not sure if he's gonna update it anytime soon though.
I have to agree after months of rom flashing with manila 2.5. wm6.5 and 6.5.1...I did an official rom flash and had a play with the old 6.1 and wow it was fast and highly responsive.
so yes I would also be interested in a 6.1 kitchen with manila 2.1
where do we find one
btw almost forgot
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547278
it is discontineud and dont know where it is to the things from now but its 6.1 whit sense2.5
its sayd its usable for every day you could always test till the 6.1 whit 2.1 is out
Sorry, don't want Sense 2.5 (very slow on HD), only 2.1 - it's enough for me.
But thanks for recommendation
i think the final version of topix wm6.1 is what youre looking for.

Sorry but KWBR will not be updating his 6.1 version anymore he has moved to 6.5 and has sold his HD.
I constantly keep coming back to this KWBR 3.1.2 rom
So fast, so reliable and so much more suited to our Touch HD's
I can simply use my device as it was intended, quickly take a picture, quickly review it, phone works, sms sends, review ballistically fast, all software just runs, soft reset is extremely fast, wifi connects without fail, background all tabs is simple, loads of themes....
But occasionally I miss the glossy Manila 2.5 with all its fluffy weather animations, but not a lot
If I could find a Kitchen for the latest 6.1 I would start learning to chef myself
here is a kitchen with WM 6.1 and Sense 2.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561056
unfortunately (for you) it's in ITA
Look on my signature...
Which kitchen?
OK, it seems I am going to build my own ROM. I would like to try to use some cooked ROMs as the base and continue from this point. Anyone knows how to proceed?
I have downloaded few kitchens already (jCEspi's, Ervius, osKitchen, PPCkitchen...) but having problems to use them properly. I haven't found any detailed howto yet, only some basics from the thread or attached readme files. So far "try-fail" style doesn't get me anywhere.
I would appreciate any help with some good howtos.
Thanks,
Gabriel

It maybe of help in getting started. Not sure if it contains a 6.1 Kitchen but Kwbr has compiled what would appear to be a great tutorial on how to cook.
kwbr tutorial isn't needed.
Basically all that is needed to cook - decompile ROM and compile it back (imgfstools, search in dev&hhack).
Kitchens is sometimes more pain than help for novice cook.
Cool, will get through these, thanks.

No Stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM

Hello people! I wish to install a Windows Mobile 6.5 rom on my HD. But have failed to find any stock ROM for the HD. i want to install only stock. Has there never been a release of WM 6.5 by HTC for the HD? Will there ever be?
Im sorry if Im repeating a pre existent thread but trust me I did use the search feature and didnt find a thread talking about this particular issue.
Experts please help. THANKS heavily in advance.

There's no Stock WM6.5 for Touch HD. WM6.5 ROM in this xda is non official ROM. if you want stock ROM, please install WM6.1 for HD. it is official released by HTC
That is sad. But then if I have to install a custom 6.5 rom, wont that make my device unstable? Would it make it slower than now? Custom roms arent stable enough is what I know.

it's not a stability problem!
even WM 6.1 custom non official ROMs are stabler and speeder than WM 6.5 ones...
it's a kernel problem!!
The one used in WM 6.5 custom ROMs is unofficial...and not made by HTC...and that's what made WM 6.5 a little bit slower than WM 6.1...
but (expecially COM2 builds) are stable as well as WM 6.1...just slower (not dued to cooker inexperience but) because HTC didn't develop a 6.5 kernel for our blackstone...
Thanks Kenia for this wonderful rom uv made. I am going through your forum pages currently reading about your rom. It really is awesome work!
By the way, is there a way to install titanium screen and WM 6.5 lock screen on top of stock 6.1 rom?
nope, for titanium and the new lockscreen you will have to install WM 6.5.
There might be some WM 6.5 lockscreen look-a-likes for WM 6.1, but as far as i know it's not possible to have titanium on wm 6.1. Technically it is possible, but a lot of things would have to be modded (which is a looooooot of work) in order to get it to work on WM 6.1

Titanium requires some stuff from system core of WM 6.5...just like the honeycomb start menu...
so it's impossible to port it...
as regards the lockscreen you can have it through the marvelous Co0kie's Home Tab which ebodies this feature...
and you can choose between WM 6.5, HD Mini and iphone-like lockscreen...
Anyway thanks to all for the compliments..

I got the perfect thing for you
You should try Miniterrors Ravage ROM it's in dutch or in WWE.
It is the fastest STOCK 6.5 rom out here on XDA.
You should download the WWE Clean without (or with) HTC Messaging.
It's fast, low battery drainage and it is stock!
Hope it helps!

please flash first n let us know the feedback. you cannot ask anybody to act on behalf of you. different person, different opinion. try Cloudy 1.9 with or without HTC Messaging... it works perfect for me.
I never presumed anyone to act on my behalf. Because I am only asking for opinions from experts who have run it before on their Blackstones. I have never flashed a custom rom hence probably just a little apprehensive.

There are a lots of roms here, the best way to find what you want its to try, use another phone and take a week to try the diferent roms around here.
If we all like the same, we didn't have a lot of roms around here, see what roms have good feedback, see if you like the style or the coocked app in it and flash.
A stable coocked rom its allways better then stock.
