Fastest, most stable 6.5 ROM? Requesting opinions...

**lipidfats** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-09-2009, 03:19 PM

Hey guys,
I have multiple devices running custom ROMs, but my diamond is still plain ol stock even after a year. I'm finally going to flash it with a CR, but wanted some opinions first. I'm looking for the fastest, most stable 6.5 ROM.

Since i haven't been on the diamond forums in ages, i'm way behind on all the updates. Are there any clear winners?

btw, it's a sprint/cdma diamond, so only cdma ROMs please. thanks in advance for any suggestions.

All of the current cooks out right now are making pretty stable roms. I would suggest you just dig in and go based upon recent releases and just your good ol preference. You are gonna get a mixed number of folks telling you who the best is. Be aware that manila 2.5 is brand new and somewhat buggy right now so if i were you , i would avoid. Also be aware that flashing to a shipped rom before you flash to a new custom is always a good idea. Flash Away!!!!

I am an enthusiast and have used both the Mighty ROM and the Calkulins spb they both appeared buggy or too crowded. The best I have seen is Extraclean ROM ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=95225 ). It is completely flawless. MY PHONE actually work now, after I have already given up on WM and decided to get the Samsung Moment.

I have been using Ultralite 6.5 for several months now. The nice thing about this one is that it is barebones and you add what you want. I have sbp shell because I like some of the features, but my main interface is Androkkid which I have found to be just what I was looking for. Only my opinion. You have to experiment to find out what suits your needs.
