which rom is the best - G4

i{m try to put any rom in my wizard but only 3 give me results the faria rom the mb rom and the core rom so tellme what is the best rom for wizard
in advance thx

How on earth are we meant to tell you what rom is the best?
Faria's and xplore rate highly, molski is also up there, at the moment im investigating mfrazzz's rom. It is a matter of personal preference, there is no definitive best rom because all wizard owners are recycling the same poo.
Im not flaming you but it would be nice if you pulled your socks up before you thought about posting a question such as this again.

1. Decide what programs you really want to use.
2. Decide what programs you really don't want to have.
3. Decide which base OS you want to run - stable or bleeding edge.
4. Pick the ROM's that are a close match to your choices in #1 & #2.
5. Read the entire posts for those ROMs, and decide from user feedback on which to use.
6. Try a few, get a feel for what works best for you. No rom is right for any one person. It just depends on what kind of base you want, and how much customization you want to do.
Best bet is to stick to the high profile roms, such as Faria's, Xplore, Crossbow Reloaded, etc... while you're checking things out. Test, test, test...
Then when you're ready, build your own

Is there a (mostly) complete list of released ROMs anywhere?
I'm having trouble learning what is the latest WM6 version is, seeing as some ROMs have a v10.2.xxx and some a 15.x.xxx and others a 6.2.xx. What on Earth do these version numbers mean?
Is there a thread I simply haven't found which explains this?

What features do you like?
What do you use your phone for?
What do YOU like?
No one can answer this question for you. You need to research each ROM and see if it has the features that you like. If you want to know what others are using then look at their signatures and you will see what they like. But that of course is no indication whatsoever that you will like it too.
All of the dedicated cookers on this site do outstanding work and each has their own style. There is no "best" ROM, they are all top notch in their own respects. Try them out, use them for a few days, see if they meet your needs.

I haven't looked at the Wizard WIKI lately because most of my focus has been on my Hermes of late. But at least for the Hermes there is a page that lists all available roms with links to the release threads and to the download sites and mirrors. If there isn't something like this for the Wizard you could always start this yourself with the information that you research and hopefully others will contribute and keep it going.

the best rom kitchen

im in the process of making a rom for my mogul but i need to know what would be the best one. ive hear of dcd, but i hear there a dogguys one and a no2chem one. so please tell me what would work best for a good rom creator. also does anyone know how to change both the main bootsplash and the sub bootsplash on the mogul because i hate the boring old stock ones. thank you.
go for DCD's Kitchen....get the rom YOU want....

This isn't necessarily a kitchen, because it is already a cooked rom.
If you look at VetVito's base rom, it actually reports 47.88 mb of total program memory. This is a full 900k more than the next closest ROM. I turned off the HTC Home and Microsoft Live Search home screen plugins and after soft-reset, there is >27 mb of RAM available (Free).
I'm using it now and it is snappy and every little bit of extra available ram, helps.

So you use your PPC w/o adding any programs? Isn't that like having a PC just to run notepad?
I'd reccomend you check the other kitchens out as well. i've not used the ppckitchen.org kitchen but I know dogguys kitchen will give you the ability to dump any rom you choose as your base. This may work better for some people who don't like my customizations, or want to use a more stock base as mine has become a little more experimental lately.
does anyone have the link to dogguys or nochems kitchens i wanna try thiers. was anyone successful in changing their bootsplash to a custom one

no2chem's basekit is a really good foundation to build your ROM off of, but I personally think DCD is pretty hard to beat...

Which ROM to use

I was wondering which rom i would install to make my phone as fast as possible without overclocking (if possible). I'm kinda new at this so I'd appreciate somebody's help please. Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place though.
Do some reading... I bet you haven't even Hard SPLed your Hermes yet.
Check out the naked roms orr lite roms for more speed but emember more speed, less frills. You can also use the pagepool changer to modify the rom you want to give you more ram for the os but remember there are always gonna be trade-offs. Work out what you want then do some research on whats available (read the descriptuin given by the chef the the last few pages for any problems people may have been having.) then devcide.
ROM choice is a personal choice, what I have is for ME but may not be acceptable for YOU.
Cheers...

What is the latest Manilla ROM for HTC Touch PRO?

Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland
Mike
Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.

It will involve a lot of reading, i believe Dutty provides a kitchen in his roms so thats a start.
heres a great starter, lots of info about the kitchen structure in post 1, great starter guide in post 2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=628948
There's a lot involved when it comes to building a fast, stable, well-working ROM.
To get you started, I would recommend you download Ervius's Visual Kitchen based on Bepe's latest tools from HERE.
Second, download the latest stock ROM for your specific device. Mine is the T-Mobile HD2 so the stock ROM for that was where I started.
Extract the RUU_LEO_......exe using WinRAR. It can be found HERE. The free version will serve you well. Now open the Kitchen executable and use the option on the left to "extract" or dump the stock ROM that you just extracted from the exe. This will create the Kitchen for you. Or rather.. It will create a solid base foundation in which you can begin your modifications.
Before you'll be able to re-cook the ROM however, you will have to "recmod" the NTFConfig.dll module in Notification Enhancement. Failure to do this will result in a non-booting ROM. Don't ask why... I just know that this has to be done.
Once you do all of this, rebuild the ROM as stock and flash it to your phone(YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL FIRST!!!!). If all goes well and the ROM boots, runs, and works like you expect a stock ROM to work, then you're free to start making all the changes you want.
TIP>> NEVER delete any package just because you are now using an updated version. Always keep the original just in case something doesn't work and always remember, keep 2 save files. One that you know for a fact will work if you re-cook and one that you experiment with.
As you get more comfortable with cooking ROMS, then you'll be able to update the SYS/XIP components more easily and so I suggest you stay away from that right off the get go. Get a good solid ROM first then play with those "extras".
One last thing - Familiarize yourself with the initflashfiles.dat file(open it with notepad) located in \OEM\"Device name"\0409\OEM_Lang_0409(I used 0409 as an example as this is WWE - you can use whatever language you like). This file controls all files and directories. Trust me, if you don't understand what I mean by that then open the file and you will.
If you have any other questions I'm sure there are many other chefs here who can offer you help and assistance.
Finally, be persistent! Don't let a buggy or non-booting ROM get you down. It can always be fixed! Just have confidence in your "techy side" and have patience. Know that the more you do it, the better at it you will get.
Good luck and happy building!!!
