Cingular 8525 3D Effects 'rom'

I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!
What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION
searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!
The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!
i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

TouchFlo on Hermes
I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.
My theory...
You know, what if posts like this current thread
as well as posts like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313701
and this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313455
are actually people working for MS trying to piss off the chefs enough so that they will stop sharing their ROMs? Just a thought.
Hate to bring life to a dead thread...but will the hermes ever support touchflo? Is it a hardware limitation?

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...
well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

Custel . . . RELEASE IT!! Please i beg of you. I don't even care if its a choppy version. I just want to messa round with it for a while. I love upgrading my OS andRadio, ETC . . but I would like a new style of navigation. Wisbar leaks memory way to fast, and the Iphone themes just well . . . suck! Please, throw up a cab for us to try out!

Stable and best mobile 6 version?

as the title says which one is it for the htc tytn?? Ive got black at the moment but I want video calling.
Any help would be superb
Cheers

I tried Black Satin and Schaps so far and I sticking with Schaps.
oh man, u gonna get flamed about posting this as every other person who has posted this question did.
imo, try them all and see which you like best.
my personal favorites are schap's and FuN-KeY , right now i am using FuN_KeY v1.5.0 because I like the dailer with the call history on it. and it's a bit faster compared with schap's rom. but a lot of people are waiting for schap's new release
I can't believe this!! Almost every week someone asks "What's the best Rom?"
For Gods sake, do like the rest of us. Try each one out until you find one that suits your needs or cook you own.
Do some friggin' research, look at the threads! Read!!!!!

If you don't have time to do the research, you may wish to consider sticking with official operator ROMs
That would have been my suggestion as well...
satin: great but need to reboot some time
vp3g 3.61.0 : great but need to reboot .. really nice application
tnt 2 : the best so far for the speed...etc.. but really unstable .. stuck on bootloader need to hard reset ..
att: not great.. slower and need to reboot ..
for now i am staying with vp3g
I thing the best rom is Black 2.5 bery fast and
Free ram 31MB in my HTC TyTN

have you checked this ROM?
also last guy who said/implied that he did not have time and people here do, got scolded so bad... so you might want to rethink that excuse as most people here HAVE real JOBS.

want WM6.1 but chicken

hey all,
im very new to all the hacking and flashing , i want to try the upgrade but afraid that i will mess it up and not have all the current apps i have placed on the Dash... speaking of Dash is the Caliber the same as dash? and will the upgrade act the same on the dash... i know NOOB!!! LOL. but anyway will the apps that were for 6.0 ROMs work on 6.1...
Thank you in advance
the new chick
the result of loading 6.1 and active sync stopping in the middle
A BIG ^*(%ing disaster, my poor dear sweet friend is now stuck at the HTC page. it wont wake up it wont sleep (unless i pull out bat)... i have killed my bff... active sync stopped when the exchange was going on and totally messed up my change over. i have tried a reset by holding down the soft keys but nothing. (WWAAAA)... i need my bff back im so lost without her... any ideas. thought i would check here before going to T-mobile to see if its covered under the warranty. thanks the newbie

It's cool. We've all been here before. I would say that the benefits of 6.1 definitely outweighed any concerns I had with flashing. I grew sick of hearing about all the advances that everyone else experienced with 6.1--while I was still using 6.0! You won't be disappointed!
FYI... PLEASE read the stickies located at the top of the Excalibur page. They'll be extremely helpful concerning any questions you may have. Just read through the posts in the various threads and 98% of your future questions will be answered.
P.S. Yes, the Excalibur and the Dash are the same device.
alright guys thanks or the encouragement. UPGRADE here i come. (deep breath as i dive in) thanks again

yep , the bad part of flashing is reinstalling all your apps , wallpaper ,etc.
But 6.1 is worth every bit of it

Welcome to the board. You gotta be careful of that question. You have like 30 chefs on here and you're probably going to get flamed for not researching. I guess the best way to decide which ROM is the best is to decide what you want to use your device for. Then start reading. Or you could cook your own. Before I started cooking, I used JoshKoss, CRC, Mick Smith's. They are all good. Just read my friend.

WHOA WHOA slow down you over-achiever. Take a deep breath. Now, this should be your first read. It has a BUNCH of info. The site has a WIKI also that answers a ton of stuff. Yes, I have a Yahoo ID. It's in my signature, just send an invite.
lol...yes indeed. Your question is almost begging to be flamed. Though you may also get lucky and get away with it Like the above poster said there isn't anything like a specific 'best' ROM for a phone. Its a personal preference. The wiki is an excellent place for you to get started on getting to understand everything you need to know about you phone. Use the search option for any question you have. Your bound to find relevant results on almost any type of search. Happy reading and welcome to the board.

sorry guys,, newbees fault...
after i got the first answer i have found teh WIKI.. no bad intentions here...
i just saw so many ROMS... and i hardly know what they are.. just now trying to find out.. somebody enlighten me pls..
i am reading, reading..
thanks..
Start with CRC's rom.. good, fast, stable
This cant be flamed, BTW!!!! this can be great apreciatted.
I meet many designers and has magic on their hands (and HD's full of tricks on photoshop's projects!) well if you want to start... you can talk with joshkoss, CRC, abuzalsa and many others... cause at this time they are trying to change some icons in .PNG and .ICO full glossy pics maybe 32 x 32 or less like the Notification Icons in upper bar... so talk to him about your skills maybe you can give us new Icons or something... read about the images on the ROMS... what extension, or what kind, sizes, and wheigts...
Hope you can find your work here.

i wanna have the newest rom for jasjam

Hi
how are u ?
i really want to have rom for my jasjam.
please :}
Read a bit, and there are all sorts of roms.
Don't wanna hear about how you bricked your Hermes if youdo something wrong...
Lots of warnings to install Hard SPL V7 around for you not to stuff up...
wow
....omg.
I want a million dollars, a great job with no boss, and an obedient wife.
Can anyone help?
Yeah, i would like to buy a new Ferrari and some new phone, of course 4 ipad for my childrend, me and my wife. Can someone help me to reality my wished.

i just need a new Doctor
well after seeing the new Dr. Who episode, all I can wish for now is:
CAN I PLEASE HAVE TOM BAKER BACK?
a trillion thanks for the new 'Quantum Genie' rom Tai, now my jasjam can boil water! Battery life not so good though, and I got a weird headache + blurry vision.
Can you guys, please not spam and reply gently if you really know?
I mean jesus christ, if you don't want to help then it's fine. But don't make fun.
Simply amazing how this makes sense... this guy ask onmy rom thread something like a bricked device... but it seems that old guys here that are always helping some time to date... are blofing like this... its a shame ppl...
Just limitate to answer if you want to laugh about newbies you know where you can do it...
lol
shame on you +Que , it's fun to laugh at people who can't even read the sticky's. I don't think that's mean at all. We all wish there was a magic-wishing tree.
BUT - to answer the original question, I have gone back to CRC's rom for stability, but experimental downports of newer ROMs from newer devices are done by +Que and TAI at the moment. Note that these roms are stripped and downported in the hope that they work ok and use a less memory. Read the stickies, then their threads, flash HardSPL, and then read read read more and more and more... Honest answer!
