Very well said. a) I too am surprised this didn't get closed. b) I agree, I don't think it's as much as people being rude but it gets annoying when the same questions are asked without using the search button.

and c) each ROM IS different. I've installed about a dozen different ROMs on my Blackstone and each one had their issues and/or benefits.

For the most part, I followed Dutty's ROMs but 2-3 weeks ago, I tried David's ROMs and though they're both great, I actually found an older ROM from David that I extremely liked when I disabled 3FTD. My phone is stable, extremely fast and has what I need in it.

It's very easy to get caught up "upgrading" ALL THE TIME. It seems that we all want the best and fastest ROM out there. Unfortunately, there isn't a perfect ROM out there that doesn't have some small issue and even if you found one with a minimal amount, you probably wouldn't like the amount (or lack of) programs in it.

I suggest you try several ROM's until you find a "style" that you like. After 3 years of upgrading ROM's (started back with a Razr) I can finally say I'm happy with the my current ROM and have no desire to upgrade.

So, start modding and good luck.

Sound advice by Mark. I personally have tried most roms available as well - currently using Dutty 2.4 quite happy with it, I found the new Dutty version release slighty slower then the 2.4.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Fallen Spartan:
Agreed with riz157. Sound advice;)

But I think all that can be said on this has been! Could a MOD close this thread.

Hello,the legal official rom . All cooked roms are full of bugs ...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] naa77:
Yeh, I tried a similar question a few monthes ago, though it was more of a witch way should I go question, (modding or cooked roms), so maybe there is a problem with the wording of your question ?, a few people steered me in the right direction, though warned me about asking subjective questions. Now I can see what they mean, my HD is my first smart phone, I was pretty fluent in navigating my way through the stock 6.1 1.56 ROM, then I tried a cple of mods, but as someone suggested to "just start flashing ROM's, which is what I did, I flashed one or two of duttys and miris, then flashed one of NRG's, at the time NRG's ROM's appealed to me, (must of been the extra eye candy....LOL), though have been through a cple of bad patches of his as well, the chefs at times try different things and interchange different things from other ROM's, so your going to run into conflicts somewhere, well... maybe anyway. Basically I see it like this, you get the official ROM from HTC, which is still just 6.1, and well... lacking in certain things, though stable.....But if you want the "future", then start flashing !., do realise though that these guys take time out of their livesto do this for us, so I suppose we have the duty to read through the posts and threads and not ask the obvious or subjective. So from one noob to another noob, good luck
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wingtytn:
dude there is no one better rom then the rest the roms were made to spec of what the cook wanted and liked all the roms are descent just try a few to see which one has the closest to wat ur lookin for
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] anand12:
I think (for me) the current best for Blackstone is blackSTONEhenge 6.5.3.28236 (Build 28236.5.3.3) with Manila 2.5. Using it with radio 1.17. So far the fastest and steadiest one Iv run. Very satisfied with my HD. And Cookie's Home tab on it makes the Blackstone really really awesome to work on! It makes it a completely new device. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jonim:
I would propose you try out BlackNew IV.

I used to stick to the OEM ROM, but once I took the "big risk" and flashed my HD; there is no turning back to the OEM, I just love it! It rocks!

Think we have to let go of the OEM ROM since they are not releasing any update ever since.

Trust me and you will never regret.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kubes1:
blackSTONEhenge

My opinion as well, fastest and most stable I've ever used
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] [crs]:
Bought the touch HD a week ago 2nd hand (swaped my e75 + some cash for it) it had a custom rom already installed (not sure what it was tho, think it used 6.5 and manilla 2.5 from what it said at startup) found it to be slow but looked very nice. Since then ive tried pretty much all recently updated cooked roms from this site (WWE editions), so far i like blackSTONEhenge, kwbr 1.4 and evo (the original HD rom was just too dated (didnt feel right to use)). I am using kwbr 1.4 atm it seems to be pretty decent and the quickest of all i've used. I havent tried many of the clean / minimalist roms as im after something that performs most tasks outta the box. Still cannot watch iplayer tho lol.

This is my first post yay :P lol

Things i dont like: opera, mobile IE (so far thats it, I would like a mobile firefox or chrome)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] aminsa:
The reasons that guy ask, is because it is time consuming to try all the ROMs available. Like me I tried a few but ended with Onkolog than topix 3.2.1. The reason is 6.1 more stable than the 6.5 ROM. If you want speed and stability than, never use other than 6.1 ROM. Some say you can see what each ROM have by looking at the changed log, but no changed log's ROM say it might hang while using it. That is what happened to many ROM I had tried.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
from the 6.5 Builds i can RECOMEND TOPIX 3.5 WM 6.5 Sense 2.1 Its very good ROM
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] whatabambam:
You should try Cloudy ROM. Current version is 2.0 but 2.1 is coming. It is the best one for me and very close to stock one from HD2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ultimatepichu:
Aren't you a MOD? ;) correct me if there's certain sections that you're watching over and some not.

the OP didn't respond so far, and I guess he/she had got enough suggestions and recommendations for all the HD users.

I'm still searching as well. :D

I agree.

Based on fast regular use, both as a phone and as a multimedia device (internet, movies and audio) I say the Manila 2.1 version of KWBR work the best.

Tried Dutties, Energy, Miri, StoneHenge and many others. Sense 2.5 is still too slow for the blackstone, so Manilla 2.1 from KWBR will get my vote.

Hi,

I'm using my sp5 as a remote alarm. But in the remote site it has no power supply, so I'm looking for an application that on low battery warning will send an sms to a preconfigured number.

I can't find anything useful by now. Any suggestion?

thanks in advance.

:p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] arblueboy:
Solved

So I managed it by using Mortscript and a task scheduler.

Every 6 hours the scheduler trigger a script that check the battery charge and if it' under 10% send an sms to my phone.

Everything works great for me.

Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin :(

I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.

If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.

Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.

PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.

This ROM is based CE OS 5.2.21040 (Build 21040.1.6.0). ROM dump for Rhodium test device.

TF3D2 is included but needs to be updated with the update patch from Xboxmod.

Please test bluetooth, bluetooth headset, activesync, GPRS, and all other basic functions. Please do not post about Manila bugs. I know it gives an error when it first boots and will fix it in a couple of hours.

Just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now to make sure it works.

Thanks!

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Red5:
Ill try and help you out here since Im a fan of your work, but if you just want the basic functions of the phone tested for now, why not use the first version of TF3D so that it eliminates the current TF3D UI errors. Then, when you want to test out to see how friendly the Rhodium TF3D is with this build, then include it for us to test? That way, if there are bugs we would be able to distinguish if its related to the new build/base rom or its its related to the Rhodium TF3D.

Party pooper :P

I've only used ROMeOS over my past few phones and then a little RRE action but since I've used some of your cabs, the most recent one being the agps settings, and I think have some with your name in them on my site, maybe you know what time it is so what the hell, slow day at work, I'll flash yours even though I was up until 4am last night flashing and perfecting the latest RRE. Gotta have the bleeding edge!

Also I want to lock this useless post on your thread nice and early because if it's as pimp tight as I think it might be I'd like to give you a super silly fresh fast mirror and want to link it here.

Here's to us.

Download it again...This version should give no errors...sorry.

I can not test any of the phone functions...phone is broke...I think we all know the story :)

Just so everyone knows...this is a rough beta...still need to clean sys and do some of my tweaking to it. Clean up icons and such...so be advised it is nowhere near to a finish product.

Yes...I did not hex edit the shell.exe yet...I am still building this. I am basically going through all the DLLs and EXEs one by one to see what can be used and what cant be used. Before I went through all that trouble I wanted to see if all the hardware functions were working correctly.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] d0ugie:
Any way to get rid of the rhodium enhancement menu thing? Roll back or install the old maybe? Not finding anything like it on the remove programs list -- presumably because it was never installed as a supplement?

Anyway, so far so good. Better than good. No bugs that I could find but I did have a tough time configuring my at&t settings (I use isp.cingular) so I eventually just grabbed a cab for that and it worked.

So refreshing to be on a clean rom with such a badass-looking build number.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] d0ugie:
gprs

Man I can't figure out why but I'm having a hell of a time with data. Tried manually putting in my settings as I always do, messed with isp.cingular and wap.cingular, no go, deleted that, tried an att media net cab I have on my site, it worked for a few hours then it mysteriously switched to edge (eventually found it was turned off somehow when I got 3G into the comm manager list), then I proceeded to try everything again. Also tried fiddling with the proxy setting, tweaking Opera's connection settings, trying different programs that are generally cooperative on getting a connection. About to throw in the towel. :(

Weird that it would work at all for a while and then not work. But everything else, other than not having data of course, is fantastic (though I personally am not on the Rhodium bandwagon I think but I guess times are a changing).

Think I'll try your v52 3/23 tp2 rom now. 20771, huh... should be interesting.

This project has been scrapped...

Too many problems with Data and BT. More wasted hours on a beta build.

However...I managed a few tricks to make my 20771 even faster than it was before using parts of this ROM.

Stay tuned...

Can a mod please lock this thread?

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] At0mAng:
Have you noticed battery issues too with this? My battery meter always showed full but in actuality it was nearly dead and I don't think it was charging when connected to PC.

There were a couple of other small issues but I was thinking it was my busted phone and not the software.

I think my ROM cooking is going to slow down a bit. It is just way to hard to troubleshoot and put out close to bug free ROMs with a busted phone :(

Forgot to mention on this one I had about three freezes, forgot the specifics. Maybe just three flukes. So far excellent on 20771. Anyway as promised here's a mirror for this one. Crazy fast (like your rom), it's yours until your next build:

mirror.blownfuze.org/At0mAng_BetaTestBuild_21040_03-25-09.rar

Gonna play a little more with the other one and if it's badass as it appears to be so far, if you'd like, I'll hook you up with a couple more mirrors. Work like yours shouldn't be subjected to rapidshare-like distribution methods. Oh, hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of making an improved file name and I rarred it up with a raphaelwrapper.exe for convenience.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] slawcop`:
I want to make sure that you have all the facts since you felt it necessary to post such a top notch post full of information.

First of all the creator of this ROM is a chef and he has a name At0m...he didn't break his phone flashing anything to his device...he broke his device on accident and definately not during the cooking process....

Secondly,Users having issues with battery life depends on numerous factors, which one of them is the ROM....again that is only one factory when considering battery life. There are things such as how it was cooked, radios, areas, user usage....etc... There is no way you could have accurately evaluated the battery life in this build in the time frame of a few hours. Since the build had data connection issues and bluetooth issues three seperate Chefs decided to abandon this build and move on to one more stable. The build title does say....Beta Test....Testers Needed..

Thank you for contributing to this thread and most importantly to XDA....your evaluation is much appreciated...
