I've tried searching the forum and sometimes people do a better job than Google. I am trying to find a ROM for my Mogul that is basically stock 6.1 without any branding or"tweaks". I found one on here that looked interesting at first but then realised someone made "improvements" that really ended up looking like a mess.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Stock means it's made specifically for the Mogul and an official release. And there currently is no "stock" 6.1 "stock" rom.
The DCD rom's are about as clean as you can get; very little crap, not many tweaks, and certainly nothing that makes it a mess. In fact, it's probably the cleanest rom I've ever used.
You could always get a kitchen and make your own clean rom.
Ello all,
I recently came by a Cingular 8125, which infortunately turned out to be a G4.
It already has HardSPL and the TNT WM6.1 rom. But said current rom... has alot of issues as is and needs to be wiped clean anyway.
So I was looking through the various roms... And I'm not really sure which are G4-okay or not. I understand that you cannot alter the boot loader...
Sheesh this is an awesome phone, especially when its major issue just required a quick reassembly of it ^.^
Hello friend....you can use most any of the cooked ROMs, seeing as MOST(Not all) are G4 safe. The best thing todo is READ the ROM threads, and ASK QUESTIONS if you are not sure! I cannot stress this enough, dont EVER continue with something that you are unsure of! But at any rate, the newest version of the TNT WM 6.1 is pretty stable, its what I use myself, that and also we have the ROM from the HTC Touch Diamond ported to the Wizard, witch is also pretty damn cool. But most of all, follow these instructions!
1=READ!!
2=READ!!!
3=READ!!!!
4=ASK QUESTIONS IF UNSURE!!!
5=FLASH!!!
6=????
7=PROFIT!!!
Hi guys,
I was wondering if anybody could recommend me a simple, clean stock-like custom ROM without unnecessary programs and things installed. The primary reason for me wanting to flash to a custom ROM is for the considerable performance gain I keep reading about.
I have an Australian-bought unbranded HTC Touch Pro (raph100).
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Tim,
Since this will be closed very quickly by mods....read in this section for a lite roms...the cooks put in the heading if they make lite Roms. Click on the rom and read the first few pages and it will tell you what is included in it...some examples are Da G and NATF's. No one knows what "unnecessary programs and things installed" is because it is different for each person.
I would go with this one. Actually, I am. It has ZERO bloatware in it and is very fast.

I use the Optus stock ROM w/ 1.08.25.20M1 Radio. It's fantastic...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. The Optus stock ROM is actually the one that came with my device originally since this is an Australian TP. If you don't think that any considerable performance gain can be had by installing a cooked ROM then I may as well stick with this. Thanks anyway
Tim
(PS. I'm new here, so I don't quite understand why this thread will be quickly closed by mods... sorry
You can flash any rom you want since most don't include a radio.
I use Da_G's Roms because they don't include ANYTHING. The ROM is a very basic WM6.1 rom with all of the latest drivers for the best performance. All programs outside of the standard windows apps are separate downloads which can be installed as you see fit.
This is nice because you get to see what a BASIC Windows Mobile environment is and what the phone runs like without all the extra HTC extras. It also gives a very good starting point to customize the phone the way YOU want.
The good thing is that because YOU install all the extras manually... you can also uninstall them in the event a newer version comes out.
There are other good ROMs too... but most come with a "standard" set of programs, most of which I don't ever use or want. I like Da_G's because I can be in control of what is on my phone.
My 2 cents.

so? new or not, it would make sense to read the wiki first. i think they even put sometihng in to tell u to read the wiki after signing up (though i'm not 100% about that), but either way, you should try doign some reading before posting. it can seem liek a lot to read, but if u want to make improvements to ur phoen, then take some time to invest in it.
ok couple vexing things happening here.
my device was using 90% memory no matter what I deleted. was running oem spl 1.1 and wm6 from HTC for a long time.
so after reading here, I upgraded to spl 1.2 and radio 1.58 with no problems THANKS XDA!
memory usage has gone way down. HOW can this BE? havent changed the WM6 just the radio and spl.
anyway the new issue is what ROM to choose! i do need pocket excel and word that comes with the wm6 on there now. but would also like faster performance if possible. does one rom run the athena faster than another?
so any input would be greatly appreciated.
oh also what is "AP4" and what is the advantages of SPL3.5 ? i wouldnt mind being able to partition the memory into one big section, since I run a 16GB mini sd card. is this possible?
sorry for the noob questions but everyone here was once a noob. everyone. lol
now... if this unit were only transflexive screen
I was never a noob. Seriously.
I suggest Michy's 4.1 for a solid and fast ROM. It also has some pre-installed software that activates the transflexive screen option.
1.2 and 3.5 are flavors of SPL. 3.5 basically gives more of your device's memory to the space where the ROM is. More space gives cooks more room to include more pre-installed software like that cool transflexive screen thing.
AP stands for Athena Project. In order to change from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 you should flash AP4. However, IMHO more recent ROMs like Michy's series have eclipsed AP4 in speed and features.
(Also, I advise you change your "16MB mini sd card" to a "16GB mini sd card" before people start pointing and laughing.)
a permanent non-noob, perfect person to be getting athena advice from!
transflexive is a hardware component, its the type of LCD that reflects but also has backlight. in the sunlight you can still easily see it because of the reflectivity, but at night, the backlight can shine through. you get viewability in both conditions with transflexive LCD technology. i have no idea why PDA's started moving away from having that.
anyway I looked at the ROM list for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 and could not find a "4.1" rom so i think you mean 6.1 under Michyprima looks like the third and fourth ones WM6.1 Diamond and Full versions. What is the difference between diamond and full editions? Or am I looking at the wrong ones.
as to the storage, I have SPL 1.2 and the program vs storage allocation doesnt seem any different, is there something I need to do?
thanks
Hello and welcome to our forum!
I would suggest to use the ROM on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=380 for your answer to the 1st post. You could find in post 1 and 2 some really good proposals!
As for Michy 6.1 ROM that exists here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411371 read at the 3rd post you will find a link for the 4.1 version of this ROM, which many believe it's the most stable!
Please be kind to the persons who try to help you...
first, im not sure why I need to be advised to be kind and appreciative, Im known to my friends as both.
I very much appreciate any help I receive, and am teriffically grateful for this site, the roms and mods which take so much time to develop, and for any advice generously given by others.
anyway, back to the topic at ahnd because I am starting to understand, but that only generates more things to ask and discuss.
I just flashed SPL 1.2 to my device. you mentioned flashing AP4 to get SPL3.5 (but that its not much needed now). I saw SPL, Radio, and the ROM (operating system) as three separate software installs. So I guess I will go back and see what "AP4" is, unless its a ROM that includes the SPL?
anyway can it please be explained what Michy 4.1 rom would benefit vs my current WM6 that i got from HTC last year for the 7500?
thanks to all!

Yes welcome,
Michy's 4.1 rom was one of those roms that everything worked well on, it had only a few tiny bugs in it, the same as a stock rom. On his SPL 3.5 4.1 rom, opera plays most flash web sites (youtube, Guba, ect) without any work. It also has many other programs that you wonder how you managed without on it. Your stock rom is just the basics, so you buy the other software!! If you do go go on to SPL 3.5, make sure you start with AP 4.0 as you were told first. then go on to another rom. If you wnt to go back to SPL 1.2 you MUST use the downgrade first. If you forget or try to short cut it will mess up your athena and you will hve to fix it. The best advice I can give you after years on this site is READ THE WIKI
Im not a noob now, but im still lerning. There are some very clever people on here.
Regards
Jay
Hi Jay, thanks man!
I will read the wiki now that Im at work I can do that.
Any chance you could post a link to that 4.1 rom though it's not in the ROM list post that i can find, and a search on "4.1" doesnt yield anything so a Link would be greatly appreciated and I'll load it right away.
Thanks again and yes I'll be getting into the WIKI now. I love the Athena, and cannot believe there really is nothing else with it's features that i can find. At least used ones are coming down in cost, in case I break or lose mine. I rely on it every day for my work and other things.
In fact I just ordered a Ram Mount for mounting it in the car.
The link you want is HERE, I know it says 6.1 but keep going down past all the screen shots and you will get to the links for all of Michy's roms till you see 4.1. try SPL 1.2 first and see if you like it. However if you do then I recomend SPL 3.5 version. They are all worth a try at some time, 6.1 is very swish
WIKI is ace! Its a bible of nearly all known problems you can get with the athena (go down through all the PDA's till you see the athena). Just watch out swapping SPL's, it tends to leave you without WiFi.
ok found it thank you. only now, link dont work!!! arghhhh
I'll try again later perhaps...
[4.1]
SPL1.2: http://www.tdgoodshosting.com/Athena...R4.1-MiChY.rar
caution
Trying that link again got my IE to open dozens of windows, I had to shut down no other method would get it to stop.
Wish that ROM was hosted on rapidshare instead!
And of course this one (different rom but I was willing to try it) was deleted on rapidshare due to no downloads for too long:
Download link SPL1.2: http://rapidshare.de/files/40006763/...MiChY.rar.html
idea: maybe this site could start hosting at least some of the more popular files?
Michy 4.1 link
This is a link to Michy 4.1 SPL 1.2 for you I just uploaded http://rapidshare.com/files/217508231/Athena_SPL1.2_WWE_WM6.1_R4.1-MiChY.zip.html

I used this one for months now but just swapped to the SPL 3.5 version and it seems to have the edge. try it for a week or so and see what you think.
I got the 4.1 n there now. like it! finally I have control over the device I paid so much for. and the advanced settings is awesom. so many simple things like now I can make the camera save to the sd card, and numerous other annoyances now gone.
couple issues though, first the voice control seems difficult. not as straight up as voice dial, and the recording process hesitates a lot, and the recorded command seems also to stutter. i'll keep playing with it tho.
i would like to have a battery indicator on the today screen. not sure if tahts possible or I just didnt find it yet.
youtube player finds videos with search, but they wont play, I get some kind of security cookie error.
flash content doesnt play, which it never did but not sure if this new cooked rom will let me get that to work (WHY wont adobe just release a player for WM?)
anyway I'm liking all these new features so thank you for the d/l and the others for the advice.
btw what specifically gives spl3.5 an edge?
Michy's 4.1 rom - where??

Sorry to mess with you about the transflective screen thing. I was just joking around.
I've got 4.1 kicking around here somewhere and will upload it to rapidshare asap. Here's the link.

Oh no tovarish! You bit on the noob bait!
As the OP rightly commented, transflexive is a property of the screen hardware. No software can change the Athena's screen to transflexive.
So I have had a Star Trek for awhile, and have been very lax in updating the ROM. I'm still on the original Cingular ROM that came with the phone -- 2.4.502.0.
So looking around here I'm very interested in updating the ROM of the phone. Have been actively reading up on different ROMs available -- first I was thinking of just flashing up to the current Cingular ROM available from HTC, but then thought, why not go for somethng REALLY good and try to upgrade to WM6.1.
So I've been reading up on both Pampooh's ROM (20282.1.3.6) and Erofich's (5.2.19949) and am not sure which way to go.
Things that appeal -- new OS, overclocking the CPU for speed, xT9 updates, etc. Current ROM is running fine, albeit a little sluggish.
So in prep I'm ready to do the application unlock, then need to decide which ROM will do the trick. Any suggestions between the two ROMs?
Any other tips before I take the plunge? Thanks in advance!
try both and see which one u like most, but definitely update your rom......the general rule.......any custom rom > stock rom
welcome to xda-dev
Well had some worries that I had bricked the phone but all is well -- the new NeORose build just took an inordinately long time to boot up.
Thanks -- the new ROM is much better than the old WM5.0 ROM.
