Sooooo all the respected guru's out there, please help me!
There are so many flavours to choose from!
Which ROM is the most complete, stable? I installed the Vanilla ROM. Looks nice. I miss a good messenger though..
Are there any upcoming complete ROMS?
And what about the second camera at the front of the phone? Is it usable as a webcam for a messenger?
Thanksss

Are you talking about WM6 rom stability? If so these are still BETA versions with all of us as the testers (version 02 is still only a few hours old).
I can't test these because my phone's broken, but reading the threads for both Kyphurs and Vanilla rom they appear to be mostly stable and faster, but have some known issues - most of these are listed in the first couple of posts in the release threads (or burried in the discussions).
The only way to test if they are stable for you is to load them and the relevant fixes to known issues - then report back to the rest of the forum with any new problems to help make the next release better. Have fun...
Heh.. If you want stable, wait for your carrier to present you with the ROM..
Everything on this site is "take it with a grain of salt"
Granted, I loaded XDA v0.1 and then XDA v0.2 and aside from a few items, they seem to both work very well.
As with any "testing" you may have issues, and/or brick your unit.. there is always a chance..
GL and hopefully you have fun testing out Windows Mobile 6 on your phone.
If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the [ROM] kitchen!
Just kidding, but not really.

You could use coolcamera.........it works as a streaming USB webcam. I opened a thread on this a while back take a look?
Thanks for the replies all of you.
I have two HTC Hermes pda's. One is kind of bricked. The other one is superCID. Is there a benefit of flashing the device with the AKU 2.06 Cingular ROM, compaired to the available HTC ROM's?

If you want WM5 and are on Cingular, then use the AKU 3.3 leaked Cingular ROM.
If you want WM6 then the choices are a plenty.

Wpbear, thanks. I'm not on Cingular, I have an original HTC, but my device is superCID though.
Ofcourse I would like the latest WM6. But how stable is it? Should I try the the LVSW version?

Spending a 5 minutes reading the LVSW thread will give you a very good idea how stable it is. Runs fine on mine

Comparing the above statement of Wpbear with Wam7's, does not clarify things for me in 1 minute reading here.
Is it possible and wise if I wish to stay with WM5 for a while, to upgrade my superCID HTC device with the Cingular AKU 3.3 ROM, since there isn't a shipped AKU 3.3 ROM from HTC?
If I choose for WM6, do I choose the LVSW or XDA Live 0.20 edition?
And which Extended ROM suits best with either one?
Thanks.

You see, that 1 minute reading is part of the problem. Just spending a few more minutes skimming through the relevant threads will indicate whether a particular ROM is for you. If you do not have the time or inclination to try them yourselves that is the least you can do.
There is no contradiction between mine and Wpbear's statement. On one hand I read through the LSVW Rom thread and quickly came to the conclusion that I would try it and so far I have no problems... I did have a low memory problem with the XDA .20 which was easily solved with a reg fix.
Wpbear is saying all the ROMS have different quirks; what one person has a problem with somebody else will say it runs fine... quirks.
There is a tacit feeling that too many people expect easy answers and to be spoon fed without putting in a little leg work themselves.
best of both worlds!!
I installed lvsw rom, updated radio to 1.34, next i had taken an spb backup of an previously installed xda live 0.20 and restored it on top of the lvsw rom, reinstalled a couple proggies, deleted an invalid startup, and voila! The most stable rom and os i ever experienced on a ppc. All done yesterday, and not one time did i have to soft reset behind instability! how did i learn how to do this? all i did was let the forum talk, and i read!

May ask what was the "invalid start up" you deleted?
I think the best thing to do is flash ROMs to the phone and try them... eventually settling on the one you like best... why you need people to tell you what to put on your device is beyond me.

Wpbear is not saying that all ROM's have different problems, but all ROM's are the same, quircky, like all HTC ROM's.
So when you tell me "what one person has a problem with, somebody else will say it runs fine", You can not understand why things remain unclear to me? I mean, the people trying out these ROMS are all using a HTC Hermes like me. So it would be a big guess, I could have problems, or I could not.

Princeasi: thanks for your reply.
Olipro: Ok you're basicly saying when I read this forum, and things are unclear to me what ROM to use, that because this is not unclear to you or others, I should shut up and not ask questions?
no, I think you should just try the ROMs yourself; flash Hard-SPL if you're worried about buggering your phone up, and then start plopping ROMs onto your device.
Reading the respective threads of the ROMs you try is generally a good idea since what's contained in them is listed in a far greater detail than anybody will go to the effort of writing here.
Might I add, that which ROM you use is a matter of personal taste, therefore there is no "right" or "wrong" ROM to use; therefore, how you can say "things are unclear to me what ROM to use" makes no sense.
at best you're too lazy to trawl the threads to look up the information yourself; as I said earlier, the respective ROM threads will tell you far more substantial information if you can make the effort to actually read through it... failing that, flash it to your phone.

Asking which ROM to use does make sense, since I asked in my first post: Which is most COMPLETE and STABLE. I then mean, compared to original ones. You get it? In the first post I'm not asking about my PERSONAL ROM taste, but the most COMPLETE and STABLE. Since I'm not lazy, and read all the threads, I did not become wiser about which is the most stable one. Besides this, even Wpbear is saying: "what one person has a problem with, somebody else will say it runs fine". You might concider it to be a possibility that for one person reading all the threads makes him less wiser then some other person reading the threads. This doesn't right away mean he's lazy, does it?
All the threads are about ROM's for someone running fine and some other running awful. So no, I do not think my question is stupid, or out of lazyness.
well... I'm afraid to say that "COMPLETE and STABLE" is something that is rather subjective since unless a ROM is totally broken, it's generally not that easy to work out how much more "COMPLETE" or how much more "STABLE" it is.
also, in terms of how "COMPLETE" it is, you can easily work that out by checking what's bundled into the app.
so really, I fall back to my original point that you should try the ROMs for yourself.
I'm completely baffled by the ammount of roms available for this device.
How do I decide which one to use ?
Any personal experience from others that have used multiple roms ?
Which ones do you like the most ?
What should I be looking for ?
Thanks.
I've tried them all and Proven ROM is my favorite without question. Followed closely by Romeos and then NATF's ROM.
It's a personal preference thing anyways, just pick one and try it You'll probably try them all before you finally figure out what you're happy with.
My rule of thumb, just pick the one with the most viewed counts
Proven ROM is fast and reliable - I use 1.03. Having tried most ROM's available for the available for the TP, in my opinion Proven is your man and 1.03 is simply magnificient.

Same here,you can try proven if you like speed and extra tf3d tabs etc,if you may not like that you can use romeOs.
Build 19971/19974 are based on stable and official roms and the difference is mostly in what applications and languages are included. Builds like 20757 are experimental ones and may contain unstable applications and components from for instance the Touch HD. So you have a choice - live on the edge, or go for something that will definitely work, regardless. PROven rom looks interesting for instance, but I'll wait for another couple of revisions until qsqa has worked all the kinks out.
afaik 20757 is an official, stable build from HTC (released for touch pro hd)
when porting is done correctly, no device-dependant components are upgraded, only the underlying operating system.. so providing the porting is done correctly, no unstable applications and components from other devices will be brought in as a result Again assuming the source ROM is an officially released base.. there are plenty of others that are not!

PROven rom 1.03 is the best in my case, now will test 1.04. Is difficult to stay in one with the fast upgrades by the chefs.
go nuts..flash em all!
see which one u like the best.
i do the whole trial and error thing.
at the moment im using the one in my sig..but that'll change within the next 24hrs.

whos your carrier, if your in the states with sprint then i suggest http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43229
The choice of ROM is very personal, and depends upon your needs.
I myself am using the latest build of ROMeOS, and its simply great.
This rom is very fast, responsive, has nice apps and all the great registry tweaks included. On top of that, monx® is providing us with regular updates, and support (even for Rom's with languages totally 'new' to him) you only expect from paying services. Just take a quick look @ the ROMeOS topics, and you'll be amazed...
Maybe you could add a poll to your topic?
Use the most used ROMs so you can get a clear view....

To get certain things that stock ROMS don't have. Like: Speed, not loaded with Carrier crap.
The ROM post should have info about what is included and what isn't.
Some are made to have more RAM some are made to run Smoother.

I might be wrong, but that is what I have learned overtime.

Good Question
I am glad you asked this because I have been wondering the same thing.
I have the VZW Touch Pro and was reading a LOT on unlocking and then flashing ROMs. I didnt know really what the benefits were besides speed and making it smoother. Does the ROM allow you to have better themes?
Eventually (sooner than later I think) they will be able to unlock the GPS on VZW as well.
I really wish somebody could post a video or something on YouTube on either how to go about the process or what it looks like after flashing a custom ROM.

Custom ROM"s are highly varried. You need to try them out.
I created a Custom ROM that allows you to stay with the 100% stock look, MUCH MUCH faster than ROM that came with phone.
Lots of others add a bunch of crapware and bloatware to the ROM. I didint do that to this one. I left it stock. It runs very fast.
Custom ROM"s also remove some securuity features like when youa re installing an app you are not questioned if its what you really want to do... Etc...]
Custom ROM's can also c ome with differnt themes like you inquired. They can com completly set up or come completely base. It all depends on what you want to download.
My Carrier is Sprint,
I am fairly happy with the phone as is
My only gripes are that:
it is not as responsive going from app to app as I would like
some of the apps I will never use, like the Sprint music store...
I love to diddle and play with my hardware
I do like touch-flo 3D, I think it's a nice UI, I just wish it was a bit more responsive

Thank you so much for the information scrosler! I also read your other thread about the custom ROM you made. I am very thankful for you taking the time to do this for us VZW allies. I am a first to admit that I am a noob at unlocking and flashing ROMs. I dont doubt that I could simply follow the detailed instructions that you have given us. I just want to make sure that the payoff is worth it.
Is there anyway (this really may be asking too much) that you could post a video so we could see exactly what your ROM looks like and the increased speed. Or even a video of the process? Maybe even some screen shots.
I know I will end up unlocking and flashing any day. I have my phone set up just the way I like it with many beneficial programs installed, but it is not fast enough or responsive enough. I personally don't use the Touch Flo (as sexy at it looks) just because the WinMo UI works a lot better for me and is more responsive.
Again, thank you for being so kind and sharing your knowledge and not demeaning us or being rude for all the questions we ask I greatly appreciate the time and dedication it takes to create something like this and I respect it!

I cant do a video, lack the ability, hehehe... I can however tell you this:
It looks and actis identical to the Stock ROM from VZW except is was built on a new CE OS. Its considerably snapier than the stock ROM in everything from boot up to touchflo scrolling.
Its 99.99% stock. The only differnece is the speed, IE 6, ICS, and Net CF 3.5 is all cooked in. It, unlike all other custom ROM's, has all stock VZW apps and the VZW touchFlow. Its a straight rip from a stock VZW leaked ROM. The details ont he ROM and the kitchen used are in the new thread.
Its just to easy to do.
Download file A, run it. Download file B, run it. Its not that much harder in all honesty.

Awesome Link!!! I just wish they had this same thing for the VZW Version!
Another stupid question...
Well I think this would be the appropriate thread to ask this.
I was wondering if there was any way to put 2 today screens into one instead of having to switch. Basically I am wanting a Touch Flo today screen at the top and the bottom half I would like to have a WinMo today screen with the two quick buttons at the bottom. Is this possible or am I just wanting too much? It seems like the themes for the Touch Flo look much better and I LOVE the black themes.
Any info. would be much appreciated!
why should i use the modaco rom over the stock? i am not really convinced to do it and the modaco rom also deletes some features, so why should i still take it?
Could you explain why you asking this question?
to know the ups and downs of the modaco rom compared to the stock one
The MCR is faster and a nice stable, free to adjust and modify ROM. That simple.

does the modaco also play 3d games much fast and better or is just the same?
I guess that comes to your phone and the processor, graphic chip and whatever, i dont know. I mean installing XP professional instead of XP Home doesnt make your machine faster, but maybe better.
Just my opinion but shouldnt the modaco rom be discussed on modaco forums? seeing as on there they arent too happy with someone posting it up here without permission?
i would also like to know what features are told to be deleted? not by default, but with the kitchen you can leave out apps you don't want (twitter, stocks, footprints etc). the regular mcr is a generic rom with added features and improvements. if you are refering to the missing 2g/3g switch in mcr3.2 (the aforementioned closed beta), this is because the rom being built on a hutchinson 3 rom, which doesn't have this feature from the beginning. it can be done via 3rd party apps/widgets from the market nevertheless. if you want generic htc with paul's improvements go for mcr3.1.
imho it is absolutely ok to discuss this rom here. the problem with it being posted here was about taking a "closed" (as in only for modaco premium members) beta version, making a rom from it and post that here. and that was only discussed by other users, and (afaik, please correct me) never mentioned by paul (a.k.a. modaco) himself.
Indeed, of course we can discuss anything we like about MoDaCo here.
No functionality is removed by MoDaCo ROMs; the experience is pretty much identical to stock hero, except it's rooted, slightly faster, and a few extra apps are included by default.
It's by no means the best ROM around at the moment though. If you want a ROM of this type, it's been surpassed by Kimera.
I liked the MCR ROMs because they were my first taste of a rooted ROM, while it stayed as close to a shipped ROM as possible. The only problem I had with it was the distorted icon that showed up whenever you opened a Flash applet on a wepage -- On the shipped ROMs this didn't happen though.
The best thing I got from the MCR ROM was the task killer tweak, which elimates the sluggishness found in the stock ROM. Plus I often use Wi-Fi tethering (so that I can use my phone as a router), Titanium Backup (only allowed for root) and paid apps with Market Enabler.
If you go to modaco.com you can pay for his beta 3.2 ROM, which has an online kitchen so you can select which components you want added to the ROM. Pretty cool idea.
However, if you want even more control over what is in your ROM (including the actual files themselves and not checkboxes on a forum post), then just use my Hero Kitchen which has all the basic options for creating a rooted ROM from a shipped release. I would recommend you try MCR first though, so that you have a feel for what you want in a ROM.

just so there is no misunderstanding, you pay to support modaco, not for the rom. you get the rom as a bonus for your ad-free membership. the kitchen is available for the public by now, you can cook your own mcr3.1 for free.
This thread is wrong, its not only the Modaco, its all the ROMs. Remember that we thankfully have many great chefs and all the cooked ROMs offer some benefit over the stock.
I advise you stop asking and start flashing and see for your self instead of asking.

I agree with shiyou, what is the point of upgrading? My stock tmobile rom seems pretty stable and fast, is there a reason to go through the whole rigomarole of rooting it and so on! especially when there is an imminent release of an official 2.1 release from HTC.

Well if you feel like that then no there is no need to do it.
However rooting is an easy (ish) task and once it is done you have the freedom to try things on your phone you can't do without it. E.g. get a taste of a 2.1 rom now.
It is easy to say that your current rom is fast and stable, but until you try another rom you have nothing to compare it to anyway so for all you know after trying another rom you might end up thinking "why the hell did I not do this months ago"
@shiyou + toobig
I believe this is the wrong section to discus basic and philosophic questions like this.
We should keep this place what it meant to be -> "... Android Development"

Um, how is that not helping?
There is only one build thread that has the word "Stable" in the topic.
And there aren't even 20 different builds in existence.
Actually, to be pedantic - there are NO stable Android ROMs. The only "stable" builds run from the SD card, not NAND flash, therefore aren't ROMs.
Indeed, and if you take the time to read the thread, I say the build isn't truly stable, but as far as all other Android builds for our phones, it's the 'most stable' for sure. Hence the reason I put 'stable' in the thread title, crazy concept I know. Hence the reason the word stable in the thread title is in quotes...
lol well I think you've gotten your bashings (try to read up a bit more and search around in the future ) Anyways, in my opinion, FRX06 is the most stable at the moment, the thread for that is here.

To get better performance you are going to want a new kernal, I would suggest getting that here. This thread has testing kernals but most of the time they will have better battery life/performance than the official kernals.

Unzip that file, and go into wherever all your android files are, (in the FRX06 folder) and delete the other zImage file and modules file. Put in the new zImage and module file. Usually you would have to rename the zImage but it has already been done for you.
Then you can get a new rootfs, I suggest getting it here, there a lot of cool features and keymaps explained. This whole thread gives instructions.

Omg yall practically tortured the dude for answering a simple question lol. Well i think each Rhodium version is different and the stabilty also depends on the kernal/build combination. So only way to really find out is to try a whole bunch. Im waiting for NAND for GSM. I kinda gave up on SD builds because its such a hassle. I only need to text and talk forreal. I just miss my old G1 Android tho lol

I only talk and text also. But even in this stage of the game, I find the stability and speed of most apps (like messaging) to be faster than winmo. No stupid loading icon. In my opinion, android is MUCH more aesthetically pleasing. Winmo is a bit boring, all of the options for widgets and such in android is very cool. I am also waiting for NAND for GSM but I have no idea when that will be, SD builds are still much more stable. No need to try a whole bunch, FRX06 package with latest wistilt2 kernal is probablity the easiest and most stable combo. Not sure why you think they are such a hassle though.

I mainly switched because of how painfully slow texting is on winmo. That's mainly because of how crappy the HTC messaging app is (more than 100 messages in a thread and the phone slows to a standstill when you try to text them).
There is no answer to the question asked, just try all the ROMs, you'd know yourself.
Don't post such threads again.
