I think we all tested lots of cooked ROMS but in every one there is something that either you miss or extra you dont need and consumes memory.

and I suggest from a user point of view that it would be nice if ROM developers would always make a lite version more like an original one and an extra version for those who like a ROM pre-loaded with everything.

and in my opinion a ROM as such should be as follows:

1-Based on an original ROM without much changes.

2-FAST, STABLE, LEAST RAM and CPU usage.

4-Latest updates as .NET 3.5

3-A working Bluetooth ftp to receive files.

4-Original Voice command that works from it regular button

5-A Dialer that works without problems

6-May be a midlet manager.


Plz share ur opinions so we could reach an agreement on what to call "A GOOD OLD SIMPLE ROM"

The only answer you#'ll get here from people who know what they're talking about is this.

Look at the available ones
see what apps and configurations suit your needs
Download them
Flash them
See for yourself.

I like Akeo's rom, iamhere like's Karma's rom, other people like Mary roms.
I'm sure they're both stable and working, if there was one good ROM wouldn't everyone use it? it's all about personal preference. So, pick one, download it, try it, if you don't like it, pick another, rinse and repeat until you find one you like.

Spent much longer making that point this time than I think I ever have before, think yourself lucky!

First rule is to test test and test some more! there is no perfect ROM, just preferred ROMs. It's all based down to user taste, functionality and stability.

My reasons why F1NixNOver ROMs rule every single trinity ROM as follows according to your list:

1) - Based on latest WM6.1 images

2) - Very efficient ROM... most efficient compared to all others in terms of speed, storage (lite rom available) and stability

4) - Latest updates to all software inc arcsoft, .net, and htc base apps

3) - No bluetooth problems, no A2DP problems

5) - Very good dialler, not based on windows stock dialler. Has speed, smartdial and video

6) - install you own.

Also it's IMO the prettiest ROM there is. (ESP the black version!)
