Hi guys,

there's a gazillion Roms wm6 floating around here. Which one is the best? And why are there 4 people working on different roms instead of cooperating in 1 super rom?

cheers

The latest Midget one (1.0) is great!

that's very outdated, the poll results are not based on current releases.

Tks for pointing that out Midget, I missed on the correct thread. I thought I saw a current one somewhere? Or did I?:rolleyes:

Here is what you do:
1) Put aside a couple of weeks to test the various ROMs (yes - you can still goto work, school, etc)
2) Make sure you continue your usual routine with the phone (test charging, PIE, your BT headset, etc)
3) Decide which ROM is the best, then go back to that one

Simple fact of the matter is that each ROM has different characteristics (pros and cons) - some people require somethings, others don't - so there is no "best ROM". Also, each Universal (believe it or not) appears to have its own little quirks, so while it may appear to be "excellent" for one person, for another is crashes constantly.

And finally, when you have decided what you like - you can post back here with your results...

Happy testing!

Edit:
Just thought I might add - the reason that all of the ROM developers don't "work together" is that competition promotes innovation (think of how M$ 'monopoly' on OS's has caused windows to stagnate, but the Linux distros fighting against each other has lead to massive innovations). So long as the developers share information and tricks, then they can try to make better ROMs that each other, and yet still progress the community as a whole (consider how Ivan's new build and Helmi's original ROM have permitted people like Midget to create new ROMs that (may be) better than the original)

Well said TehPenguin.. very well said.

One more thing.. the latest isn't always the best.

My bad...

My point still stands, so long as the developers communicate with each other and share information, while still remaining competitive, then the community thrives.

I'm just happy to do my part: http://vidmes.com/Uni
