hello,
sadly my prophet's wm5 configuration is not ok anymore and i get more and more problems with it.
i have to hard-reset my device, but instead of starting again with i fresh wm5 i thought i simply flash a wm6 rom on the device.
my problem is, that i don't want to do this several times a month. so i am looking for a wm6 wwe rom, without any (still open) major bugs.
i thought the smart v3 rom is ok, but in its thread i read, that it doesn't charge while it is connected to the pc and that mail accounts get lost after soft-resets.
do you know, which rom would satisfy me?
i don't need any built-in third party applications, so a clean rom would be nice.
also i want to be able to reassign all hardware buttons to other apps.
thx in advance for any suggestions
if you want a stable bug-free wm6 rom for your prophet. There is none. read the thread for each of the roms if you want a clear picture of what to expect. Otherwise, i suggest you stick with the original rom. In my opinion, that's the best "bug-free" rom...

Hi all
I'm a total noob here and i'd like to flash my Qtek s200 G4 WM5 to a nicer rom. I read a lot of posts here and the wiki but i need your advice before i do anything.
Here is what i'd like to have :
- a rom without bugs or problems if possible
- a rom thats quite fast (i need ram and proc to use video and stuff with my bt headphones) and doesnt use too much battery
- a new interface (black vista like if possible) with scrolling and cube (like the pdaviet video on youtube)
- a tutorial or a step by step do do it without killing my phone
I know thats a lot to ask for a noob lol.
By the screenshots i like the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch. If its stable and doesnt use much battery i'd like this one but maybe i should try a newer one???
My questions :
- Do i have to upgrade to WM6 first?
- can i come back to my old wm5 rom (which works good) if i dont like the new and how?
Please feel free to give me links to posts i missed.
thanks for your answers and keep the good work.
I think you can find alot of useful links and information in this thread. I also wanted to have the pdaviet 4.0.0.06 rom, but I went for Gullums multilingual Coffie rom instead, I haven't regret it, works perfectly, faster and more stable than my old WM5.

1) no, you must HardSPL/SoftSPL your device first.
2) yes! Depening on the brand of the device, you can either download the official RUU (check out the wiki) or perform a ROM Dump to a spare SD card. (also check out the wiki)
Thanks An3Azz.
l3v5y, i'll check this one
any other member wanna tell me which is the best rom?
the more stable and the best looking?
I think the opinion of most users here is that the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder! I like my own ROMs as I cooked them to be the way I want them, others like other ROMs because of the way they are...
I like to install Stock (shipped) ROMs and then make my own customizations. So I have flashed the WWE Asia rom and its working very well.
But now I want to install the new Rhodium TF3D 2. It is recommended for OS builds 21000 or higher. However the latest shipped ROMs are less than 21000.
So my question is, how can I upgrade my OS build to 21000 without installing a cooked ROM? I know the answer is probably "no you can't" so my real question is, "being a person who likes to stay as close to a Stock Rom without going into cooked roms, what the best bet to achieve this?"
Thanks again in advance.

simple answer is no you can't. there are some roms out there that are very similar to the stock roms, but I don't recall them off the top of my head. look in the raphael rom section.
I strongly advise you switch to EnergyROM, its stable, DAMN fast, i was like you a week ago and then went ahead with trying a cooked ROM, believe me, you will NEVER want to go back to any stock ROM after using cooked roms, specially EnergyROM. Never!
Just flash it safely and do not forget to do a HardSPL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING!
If you do not feel secure about flashing, like i was, then 1st backup your original ROM, and then go ahead with HardSPL and flashing
Best of luck and again, believe me, stock ROM is JUNK!
Cheers
You can extract these two files and place them in your windows folder on your phone. It should allow you to use the new Rhodium apps.
I have seen it work and not work when copying the files so use at your own risk.
On ppcgeeks FayFay made a stock sprint 21028 rom if you have sprint.
Heres the link:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61966
Thank you for your replies everyone.
I think I will go ahead with Energy 2.0 and try it out. I was almost ready to do it anyways, this gives me the final push! I just hope its as stable as a stock rom.
I know I could have used the search engine for the question I`m going to ask you, people, but I haven`t got the slightest idea about what to search for.
I would like to use a new ROM for my HD2, but I want something which is close to stock, because I want to use the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 as well. One of the key features should be a WORKING SMS application, which would NOT contain the "stuck in outbox" bug.
Please help me decide upon a specific ROM and, if I posted in the wrong section, I kindly ask a moderator to move my topic where it belongs to.
Many thanks in advance!
Just read each thread - but AFAIK there isn't one ROM using SPB
I have seen some ROMs coming pre-cooked with SPb inside, but that`s not my point. All I want is a simple ROM, better than the official 1.48, which has the SMS issue solved...
NRGZ28 (EnergyRoms) has made a build with:
Energy.Leo.23557.Titanium.Apr.13.7z
or
Energy.Leo.21898.Titanium.Apr.13.7z
Titanium means that HTC Sense is not cooked in so you can use SPB Mobile Shell (this is also the reason he made those 2 titanium builds)
As far as i see from his twitter page he intends to cook a version including spb mobile shell as well
@Iosif_Octavian A new SPB themed energyrom will be made pretty soon here.. about 13 hours ago via Digsby in reply to Iosif_Octavian

Sounds pretty good, actually... Could you provide a link, please? I've found something but it`s for the HD, not for the HD2.
Also, I`d like to mention the fact that I`ve found a ROM named Topix which seems to be pretty much similar to the stock one, except for some new apps...

so, that's all the cooked roms and official roms from 1.66 then, I bet you'd struggle to find a rom that doesn't fit the above criteria.
Well there's no official 1.66 for my device as HTC won't take my S/N for whatever reason. So right now all I can do is go for a cooked ROM. The particular thing I want my ROM to do is only to fix the SMS bug and nothing more. That's why I have such a hard time finding one, because all of them include other changes, which I don't want to have. I mean, it's ok if it includes several useful apps, but I don't want a whole pile of new stuff...
if you hspl you don't have to go for a cooked rom. all the official roms are available in the official roms thread. hit that bigg fatty first link in the first post.
just flash them over usb, they'll work fine.
But will it be available in WWE? I really like my HD2 speaking English...
And while we're at it, is the SMS issue fixed in the 1.66 ROM?
And another thing... is 1.66 the latest official ROM? I checked the post, but it only mentions the 1.46 (or sthing) and the 1.48...
in the time it took to ask you could have looked at the link and seen most roms are available, especially wwe and uk provider stock roms.
There are enough cooked ROMs out, everyone should find their own, just flash one and try it out every cook spends a lot of time on the development. So go ahead and try a couple of them. Personally I tried out about 4 different ROMs and stuck by Artemis. Good luck
hi there,
i want to flash my stock ROM due to freezing issues on my HTC currently I am using cht editor 1.85 with stock rom and whilst I like the way my phone looks i.e. wallpaper, clock, apps etc the crashing is doing my head in...
However I am unsure which ROM to go for? any suggestions? I have been reading the reviews and its between Chuckys Tabtastic and Energy ROM
For me speed, stability and performance is important, if I had to choose one it would be stability - I cannot live with my phone constantly crashing its killing me!
My concern is though, if I flash to either can I install additional CABS such as GS Alarm, my naughty wallpapers, and my great TAG Carrera watch?
Or can I only use the apps these ROMs come with?
Any support and assistance would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
You can install all programs you want.
You will have to take into account the following:
1) Signed cabs only, or disable this check (search forum)
2) Cabs are winmo 6.5 compatible (a lot out there are not)
3) Cabs are HD2 compatible (screensize is the major issue here)
Stock rom works about the same as coocked roms: a lot of installs lead to slower system.
thank you
how do I know if CAB's are signed or not?
I am more interested in G Alarm, thats great, the rest well not that bothered really..apart from the Torch App
Any ideas?

It doesn't matter if they are signed, just install them regardless.
You can still customize a custom ROM as you would a stock ROM, even more so. Everything you have on your current ROM you can move over, and you will also have more if you download a 23xxx (WM 6.5.x) based ROM as the menu systems are changed and the softkey bars as well.
'What ROM's best' questions aren't a moderators favorite post as they are and should be closed, it's a matter of opinion and there is no one definitive answer, however as a user, I would suggest Energy ROM.
thank you
this will be my first attempt at a ROM update
I will go with the energy ROM
Whats the best guide out there I can use atm?

Search the forum.
Each ROM has it's own set of prerequisits, so learn at the discussion of the rom (usually the first post.)
A general (rather overwhelming) guide to flashing can be found here
While this video tutorial is very illustrative.
But why not wait until your crash-problem is solved, or close that thread...

my crashing problem I believe is down to, cht editor 1.85 and cookies tab
I thought by flashing it would allow me to runs the apps without cht editor 1.85 and cookies tab to provide all round better performance.
Prior to me having installed cht editor and cookies tab my phone was stable, no crashes, or 1 every 3 months....At the moment I find myself hard resetting twice / three times a day
On the other hand I have not received any definitive advise as to the cause of my crashing or freezing problem so my perspective is to remove what I currently have and flash..
Is this good or bad in your opinion?
thanks for your time and advice
How can CHT be a problem if you HARD reset every time? (and two three times/day?)
Removing the battery is NOT a hard reset, (just a hard way to soft-reset )
For a real HARD reset do following (remember to backup all your contacts, appointments etc, your phone will reset to shipping condition *since you have not flashed a custom rom yet )
For Hard reset (and soft-reset too) read here
sorry you are right I usually take the battery out and reset
I have hard resetted 3 - 4 times previously
I want to download Energy ROM, the standard version but the link is dead...is there a new one?
Here you go, this link works for me....
From this thread
Please note all prerequisites especially the needed HSPL and radioRom
I am after the "cookie" energy ROM, after it counts down I receive "service unavailable" error message?
any ideas why?
the first link in your previous post does not work either?
I noticed I first have to perform the HardSPL followed by the RadioROM then install the actual ROM....
Read here I posted it for someone a couple of days ago.
completed the hard spl, rom flash and radio update last night...
thanks for your help and advice - its much appreciated
am loving the energy ROM, so far all my previous crashing and freezing issues are resolved, if they return i will let you know
thank you for your assistance
So.,.. im in doubt again.. Should i use Official rom and modify it with programs and themes as i want, or should i use some cooked rom ( elegancia rom is the most suitable rom for me within the cooked roms..)

Difficult question; all depends on your expectations/needs.
Personally I'm more fore a Cooked Rom reason way; it is mostly build by a personal creator, with his opinion/experience on the way how it will be better, and if you look into each Rom Builders thread you will see a lot of updates, and a lot of people recommendation and gives feedback about there opinion.
Let say that mostly a Cooked Rom is build on customers needs, and not on the thinking way of a factory.
If you ask me, tray it out, you can always changed your Rom version.
One important rule, reed always attentive the instructions, and follow them.
yes ... u are right... i found elegance rom best suiting me .. but 2 things i hate about it :
i cant get original volume control back ( instaled all possible cabs, but no )
lockscreen is damn ugly even when i restor original one, its ugly...

All depends on taste sir; unfortunately this isn't a thing I can help you out.
But if you go take a look on the theme thread's you will certainty find one you like. (There are different versions of it, but it's a little bit searching)
I don't know if you have take already a look to the Artemis Rom?
I don't have the intention to favoring/make publicity fore one Rom builder; but I have had a lot of different Rom version's and I always came back on Artemis. (But again this is personal need/opinion.)
Oh yes; it have the opportunity to switch between two different lock-screen versions (they are build in the Rom) and it have the original volume control.
In case of; you can find the link in my signature.
and whats the speed of device with artemis rom? and are there bugs ? have u tried elegancia rom ?

Okay, this are multiple questions
- Speed is Okay (quietly fast comparing some other that I have used), and smoothly.
- Bugs; I must be honest thil here I think I'm a lucky guy and didn't have found bugs on it, but I must also be honest in the past there were some version's where the battery drains fast; but on the version I'm now it's okay. (2,5 sometimes 3 days of battery life (I'm always in 3G used synchronization of whether/Mail/Twitter(if it works) every 10 minutes used 4H/day WiFi/(surfing on the net) and do about 3H of communication/day (I Know I'm phone addicted) I don't set my device on sleep; always turns on 24/24 and if I have time about 1h/day I listen the radio on it.
So I must say I'm satisfy on battery life/comparing on the needs I have.
Of course that don't mean there aren't now bugs, Sternas (the creator of Artemis Rom) do mostly each week a Rom update, I don't have always the time to follow it so I can not say if it's always smoothly. But I see if people communicate bugs/problem's he do directly a new update. Much respect fore that fore someone who build multi language Rom!
- No, I didn't tried Elegancia Rom; so I can not compare with this version.
- About the bottom buttons; he have 5 different versions of it already build in his Rom; so you can shoos between them. But it's not something fix from the Rom; in the Theme Thread you will find hundreds different versions. fore WM 6.5.X there are a lot of stuff. So you are free to install whatever you like.
I hope I gives you a fully and useful information.
In case off; just ask.
Kurt
The most impotent is to follow your needs/taste.
Ons you have discover that part its just flashing
(Impotent no matter witch Rom you decide to take is to read/follow the instructions thy mention on there thread.)
And if after all it wasn't what you expected; you just take a other one.
err, i just got artemis rom ,and whats the diffrence between official rom and artemis rom ? i dont find any diffrence..

Eh? A lot sir;
Fore the beginning it's WM 6.5.X instead of WM 6.5.
secondly you have all the latest manila/OS/packaging versions.
There are also included some useful applications.
And ...
But if you mean; "on the first look it look like Stock Rom"
Yes; it's normal; because Sternas cooked Rom on Stock Rom Philosophy.
Reason way; everyone have a different taste about Look/skin.
so you are free in that part. (but if you used it some wile; you will see the difference by experience)
