Now that Qtek, T-Mobile, XDA II-O2, and iMate all have relatively recent ROM Upgrades can anyone tell me which is the best, or the pros and cons of each?
There has been so much press about the new XDA II upgrade. Why, because it is the first O2 upgrade or because it really is a great upgrade?
Now iMate has a new one, how does this one fit into the mix?
I still have T-Mobiles 1.60 ROM. Is it worth it to upgrade to the 1.60.36?
I'm not a big fan of running around upgrading to each new ROM, and I have no intention on switching ROM Brands, etc. I will stick with ROMs applicable to my MDA II device.
Do any of the new ROMs really fix all BT issues?
In general is one of the most recent ROM upgrades the best?
I suppose I might switch if one of the ROMs fixed everything needed.

Hey folks,
Can anyone advise as to the relative speeds of the roms available?
I have an Orange M3100 and it's a dog, whereas other models SEEM to be faster (I've not actually tried them though).
Does anyone have experience of the Orange rom and one of the others (iMate, Qtek or whatever)? Really need to know before flashing the rom and invalidating the warranty!
Cheers,
F.
The only rom performance comparison I've seen so far is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1019885&postcount=44
It's TyTN 1.18 vs Cingular 1.30
I have two SIM card.
my personal phone is a Sony Ericsson K800i, excellent fun/night phone. I'm a un upgrade addict. No matter Moto or Samsung or SE, I upgrading every thing, I'm stick with Sony Ericsson mostly because of its update service.
After couples of Palm and Symbian phones, WM and HTC leadership was too strong to be ignored. In early September 2006, I picked up a an HTC TyTN undranded and unlocked.
Is that normal that in almost 5 months of market life (so at around its half life), Italy has never had a ROM update and I'm still using that Southafrican one?
What's wrong with HTC? Have I missed something?
Thanks
Yah it is taking a while for rom updates and custom cooked roms. I just purchased my JasJam 2 weeks ago or so and when i log onto club imate they only show 2 roms available (both the same, just different ext roms) ones Arabic and the other is WWE.
Still patiently waiting for custom roms
i just recently flashed to mighty rom 6 and i wanted to try out other ones just to see what other were like which one do other members think i should check out.
Try DCD
I have always had very good luck with DCD's ROMS

Mighty & DCD have moved on to other devices, and a lot has happened since they worked on TP...
NRGs ROMs are the best, by a long shot, of all the ROMs I've flashed.
Or, use a kitchen and cook your own - I'm using Calkulins Visual HTC Kitchen. Both available on PPCgeeks.com, which has a bigger CDMA selection than here.
For your gimped verizon TP, there is no better rom than SSK's 6.1 roms. The SSK 6.5's run well too, if that's what you like. The 6.1 roms are BLAZING fast though, and will leave you with more memory free than any other rom I've tried, even when running tf3d and tachi dialer.

best roms
well i haven't tried them yet but if i do ill try both but most likely ill try the 6.5 one first i have really started to like 6.5

just wondering what are we look at when it comes to ram i know that the htc tp is suppose to have 512 and 192 when it come mes to ram but i seems that none of the roms have that right now i have might rom 6 which is 6.5 wm
demolition rom ftw
i had good luck with a lot of energyroms but i think i've had the best luck with a rom by sss
Im looking to buy an HD2, however im not sure if i should purchase the T-Mob version or the Intl. version. I'm well aware of the hardware differences but im not which version has the most mod support (for example Cotulla's magldr will prolly first be released for the intl hd2). So yeah, which version would you buy considering both hardware and modding capabilities?
where are you from ?
3G isnt an issue, i don't use it. But to answer your question, Mexico; soon moving to the US
All versions can be modded pretty equally... they're the same hardware except for rom size. Magldr should work on all versions. I'd get the T-Mobile us version for the bigger rom size, and you can probably get it the cheapest. The only thing you have to be careful about is not flashing the wrong radio to it, as some of the older radios will brick it.

I currently have...
HTC HD2 using..
OS version 5.2.21916
Manila version 2.5.20191914.0
ROM version Dutty's HD2 family ROM (V7) WWE
ROM date 15/11/2010
Radio version 15.42.50.11U
and I'm reasonably happy - everything works.
Thing is - I keep thinking I should install one of the latest ROMs.
Question is - what have I got to gain??
Should I or shouldn't I?
What do you experts think?
Thanks in advance
Ian
PS I know this is a "how long is a piece of string question" but I think your responses may help me decide.

Use this one. It will fulfill your wildest dreams on your HTC-HD2. It's the best in my opinion

Stick with it if it all works fine for you.
I am sticking with WM6.5.3 NRG 23699 as works flawless for me & Android is not the best platform for everything & the UI is an ugly muddle compared to the customised perfection you can have with WM6.5
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
Chasing latest ROMs & OS's can be fun but usually has issues that may not be acceptable pending on user device function requirements.
Although not been using my HD2 for the last two months after getting the Galaxy Note, however on my HD2 I have been using the very light ROM called CLEANEX RV for the last one year or so,and should say was very satisfied, very stable and fast never hung on me even foronce, one advantage is that it starts with over 280 Mb of free internal space, the only thing that I have done is to install couple of missing apps like the Market.
Its interesting that after using my GNote for two months now I can say that the only advantage it has over the HD2 are the applications graphical quality their abundance and screen size,believe me or not but I had applications on my HD2 which are more efficient than Android or IOS.!!
Sorry for straying away from the subject but I think that its pity that Microsoft has abandoned such a great and mature OS dumping millions of loyal WM users in the result.
