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.

Hello, I am new and not sure if this is the best place to post, but I just ordered an AT&T 8525, and once it arrives the first thing I plan to do is upgrade to WM6.0. But, I want to get rid of everything that AT&T put on there (logos, apps etc) and start with (what I imagine would be) the HTC version of the software.
I looked through the Wiki and can find dozens of versions, can someone point me to the right (and best/most stable) one that I need to clear off all the AT&T crap? Thanks.
the first and easiest way to clear off the at&t crap is to do a soft reset the moment the device tries to to the cusomization.
if you want to clear the at&t crap by installing a cooked rom, then please look in the Hermes WM6 forums. FYI there's is no "the best" choice when it comes to choosing a rom as there are so many choices and a lot of it comes down to personal preferences. good luck, welcome to the forums, and enjoy your new device
As XtreMe_G said, but if you want a stable rom as a starting block ( I flashed a Heap of roms before choosing which one I liked best) I would suggest TNT SE. It is pretty stable and has a heap of extras if you like that sort of thing. Ran pretty quick and was decent for me. If you want speed then you require a Lite rom. Pandora, and Shamanix are good for these but then so are Schapps & pays. As was stated above, it all comes down to personal preference. Whats good for me might be of no use to you. Experiment, But please read the wiki on the how to flash first. thats the single most important thing you can do. Suggest installing Olipro V7. BEFORE upgrading os as this helps if anything does go wrong. But as I said READ, READ, and then READ some more. Happy Upgrading And welcome to the community...
Thanks both, I have been reading and reading the Wiki plus various other posts. I have flashed a couple previous phones (Motorola V500, Samsung Blackjack) so have a little experience. Looking forward to upgrading the hermes when it arrives. I have already downloaded Schapps 4.31 but will also look into the TNT SE and installing Olipro V7 (I am guessing this is to do with Hard-SPL?).
thanks again.
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.
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.
Hello everyone,
most recently I have updated my Hero to the new ROM supplied by the fellows at HTC (the 2.73... I think). Then I remembered that on my HTC S710 I used to have a rom that came from here. So, I took a look. I have a couple of questions. Oh, let me also tell you that I have rooted my phone (I think, with Instant Root).
So these are my questions:
What do you think is the best rom available?
And why? What are its advantages to a 'normal' HTC Rom?
As a beginner, I can look over this forum for hours (I did!) but still miss out on this answer!
there is no answer to this question, that's why.
It's like asking which is better, up or down?
Everyone will prefer a different ROM for different reasons. get your device flashed to the new recovery image and then you can try all the ROMS and decide for yourself what the 'best' one is.
Personally i stick with the generic ROMs and haven't used the modaco custom ROMs yet as i am happy with the way the device works and not in need of all the hacks that other people want as i rarely use them.
you may be different.
try them all and decide for yourself.
Hm. Yes, I like the way you are thinking - and heck, it is the second time you've given me a great reply! I'll go out and tinker with the world, and more specific: with ROMs! Although I have no idea what flashing my device to a new recovery image means, I do remember having to do something similar with my S710. And I am sure I will find an explanation here! Who knows, pherhaps in a short while, I will answer my own questions!
There aren't many customised ROMs for the Hero yet, partly because the source code isn't available yet from HTC, so the ones that do exist are based on versions of the HTC ROMs.
Use Flashrec and install the awesome modified cyanogen recovery image, then you can flash one of the ROMs. I chose the stock UK ROM pre-rooted, from MoDaCo's site (not the MoDaCo customised ROM though).
It's convenient because it is pretty much the stock experience, except it's pre-rooted which makes some other things possible.

Hey, I upgraded from a S710 to a Hero as well. I'm very happy with having done that as the Hero is such a better phone!
Anyway. Flashing a new recovery image is one one of these 'tinkering' things you/we have to get used to when playing with ROMs. Essentially the recovery image is a very basic control on the phone that you can reboot into, from where you can update the ROM or do total system backups. You can read about how to do this in MoDaCo's custom ROM thread in the android development section. Flashing a new recovery image and new ROM isn't too hard really; took me at most a couple of hours.
