BoBo_ew · #1 (**permalink**) 06-03-2009, 01:35 AM

This is a list of my personal finds and some i read about through all the pages of info in the upgrades section... so if it seems scattered its bc it is... i go back and retest just for small things and add to my list... so excuse my mess

I would like to have ppl add in stuff i missed, and make this thread a place for new flashaholics to come check what rom is good to use for modding to personal UI, and just plain ease of use (flash and foget)

So if you have info to add... post on up!!
im going to update this as i test...

For clarification:
games i have tested are all games that play on the stock omnia...
I use Pimbackup for my contacts...
I have no prefrence in my list... some stuff is personal reminders..so dont think im bias..just letting you guys see a almost unfiltered look into my flashaholic lifestyle....
HERE IT IS:

BGill55's ROMS

6.5 v 1.6
this guy has some nice ideas
can do about anything but play wmp... informed him*
Like the contact list thingy... find cab...
GPS is manual
like the taskfacade * if it works* still errors for no reason..still like the concept tho.. check into*
great fkb2 after i turn rotate down to no animation and turn off "clicks"
loads fast..
bati 2.4 is ok for me... Read up on 1% driver by kabkab?
check his other roms********
can multi select forward? Test****
Games installed on stock rom play....
Try new Ui on this rom... seems capable..
tcmp player works even with wmp issue...
kidgenius=ok

6.5 1.7
So far the same...
kidgenius=ok
gps manual
skipping to try 1.8

6.5 v 1.8
WMP IS WORKING!
FKB2 IS WORKING!
Nice busy background img
seems very quick when switching tasks..
Softreset is quick
GPS is still manual
touch respose is good**
Multi text forward is still single...

6.5 v1.9
soon...... looks good so far!!
Clinks is cookd in +1 a little glitchy as it wants to multi scroll when using the mouse hard button thing when switching to option you want to select
WMP is working like never expected too... I have a bad habit of hitting the X on all things when done.. I can start WMP in the Tpanel and then go into WMP from bottom button...skip some tracks, then hit the X and it keeps playing instead of killing WMP.. Used to have to hit end call hard button...VERY NICE!!
Calendar in the Tpanel is also handy...
Graphite background is "uptown pimp style" i like.. and hes the creator of it!
Gmaps is still on manual connect for me.. must be my service area as all roms are manual for me..
Modem link is good and solid... Read up on other options that can be exploited with it..
Icontact is as always a fresh look after looking at winmo contact list.. thanks!
More tests to go... but so far this looks like a rom to use as a base to go custom... for the pimp'n the ladies rom

hats off to BG on this one.. im having a hard time finding issues that are gonna be found by a novice user...

This is a very good post post!! iget about 15 pms a day asking whats the difference between all the roms here. Adryns post is 110+ pages thats hard to read through. I think a one stop rom shop thread is a great idea!!

(Mods Sticky?)

I agree 100% here. A one stop shop was DEFINITELY needed as far as ROMs go. Im currently on Adryn's 3.2.3 and its very stable for me. Now he's added 'Opera' as a panel on the main screen, its time to FLASH again!!

Im going to rewrite the first post of the rom page soon with something thats readable. Its not even manageable for me anymore.

Thanks for the write up.
