Hey all, I searched for this a number of ways, but the results were so many and after looking through many I never did find what I'm looking for. Can anyone tell me where to get a ROM as close to the Stock Sprint ROM except w/ WM 6.1 integrated? Thank you in advance.
B~
try Key's rom
You can try key's ROM here
I think you will find that Keys Rom is WM6
If you want as close to stock as possible, then I suggest using dcd's 3.0.1 kitchen and cook one yourself. dcd'd kitchen includes WM6.1 by default and you can add any other customizations you require which will get you pretty close to a the perfect rom you want.
Thank you both for the advice. However, I don't know enough about the ROMs to know how to "cook" them. Even though I'm sure I could learn, I don't know what components come in the stock ROM.
VetVito made one that is real close to stock with 6.1. You can find it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18836 - just scroll down till you see "Stock 6.1 Rom 3.35 base:"
well DCD has roms that has been cooked by bored. You don't have to use the kitchen. click here and scroll down to ROMS. good luck!
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.
Hi, I'm trying to find the best ROM for my P5500 (Nike, Dual Touch) I found the LILLY 1.7.1 WWE, and it's great, but English, so I'm shearching a the best existing ROM in french, and, what ROM you are using, I installed the Hard-SPL 1.22, so, I would like to have your help for this, 'cause I can't find a really good ROM, I tried the ROM with D3D integrated, but it was slow and didn't work...
So, thank you in advance for your help...
There is no best Rom. Everyone have to figure out the best rom for own.
Take a look at Netdrg's Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=498322
it's in french and new...
I agree with vcdwelt - roms are such a personal preference based on what you need and what they contain (do you want a clean,fast rom or one that's got all the apps included that you need).
It's just best to try some and see how you get on.
Thank for your answers, I'm actually using the netDrg ROM, but there are some bugs, and it's not Hardware accelerated, Do you know a good Hardware Accelerated ROM, and, if it is possible, in french?
Try D-trains Insmonia rom.
hummmmm
This kind off question is not welcome on this forum

Anyone know if there is a Stock Rom of 6.5.x anywhere ?
Im after a good base rom to start cooking my own roms ?
none of the stock roms use 6.5.3 or 6.5.5
all stock roms are just 6.5
ok so I have the 6.5 Stock and im using oskitchen.
apart from addind the new windows build, where do I get and put the new manila software that works with 6.5.x ?
google "chef central xda" you will get much better info there.
thanks for the info but there seems to be a lack of "noob" tutorials and info.
Ive looked over chefs central but cannot find out how to do what I want. Ive even posted in there and not got an easy answer.
Any chance you can point me in the right direction ?

To be quite honest, they don't expect noobs to be cooking their own ROMs right away ..
First you have to understand the Windows Mobile file structure, and as if that is not enough there are thousands of things beyond that to take into consideration ...
I wish I could point you to a spot that had it step by step, but it just takes time to learn it all ....
Hi i have the same interest which is the 6.5 stock rom you are using i did look but all i found were 6.1 thanks

It's a good idea to cook one's own ROM but what unique things are you going to produce? What are you going to offer which some of good ROMs in the forum are not offering? It it's just for learning purposes, fine but do you want to put that much investment, just for learning?
I have a stock rom 6.5 but when I update it with oskitchen to 6.5.5 I get strange graphics bug. (see attachment) If someone can assist me in getting this to display correct I will then have a good base to start from.
(Im told its cuz I dont have the latest Manila ? Not sure tbh. but a lil help updaing it would be nice
My rom for the time being is purely for me to learn.
i got an hd2 and am new to modding. i need a custom ROM based on WM 6.5 that prolongs battery life and looks exactly like the stock 6.5.. this is very miportant for me.

Hey Koolxx, as far as I know: Dutty's ROMs are by far the closest to stock!
Its a very stable and sleek ROM with 100% Stock Philosophy. I use it since I own my HD2, it's just great. And if ecessary a very good base for further modification, skins & themes.
The last COM2 Version (Stock was COM2) is V18 and looks absolutely like stock when the RSS Reader is removed. All newer Versions are COM3 with a different Button Layout.
If you wanna check it out, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634
I hope this helps,
best regards,

hi, Myrixamophit.. thanks for replying. i got a problem that maybe you can help me with. the reason i need a custom ROM is cuz my locked TMOUS HD2 produces static on every call. a moderator and cool guy named, T-Macgnolia, suggests i get a custom ROM and Radio with it. the problem with ROMS from Dutty is that theyre based on 3.14. and T-Macgnolia said that stock ROMs based on 3.14 ROMs are very dependant of what radio version I use. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio.
if I want to use a lower radio version, I'll need a custom ROM. but they may still give problems since most recent custom ROMs are based on 3.14 stock ROMs. i still need a lower version radio to eliminate static from calls.
please let me know what you suggest.. thanks, man.
Oh in that case I suggest you flash HSPL and then flash a stock ROM prior to 3.14. You'll find it on XDA or HTC website. Then you can flash the radio of your choice. But then be warned you wont be able to get access to the 1024 mb of RAM that the T-MO HD2 has.

NRG makes a "Reference" ROM that has the latest OS, but no NRG add-ons.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8581816&postcount=3
But still is themed a lot (which I don't like ). Much, much closer to stock are:
Artemis ROM (v57 by now):

I would have to disagree, I think the "reference" ROM looks almost exactly like the Stock ROM. Are you referring to the "Energy" ROM, which is right above the "Reference" one?
You're partially right, I thought of Energy ROM. But still, Reference has changed icons, wallpapers and things like that. Artemis ROM except of having additional soft added and being tweaked is 100% stock.
I agree completely with Raven. those two roms he has listed are built with stock philosophy. I personally use Dutty v18 on my HD2. its the best he's built. Energy Reference is also a good rom, but heavily customized apart from icons in Sense. Folder icons in Start Menu are also changed. You don't even get as much free ram and internal phone memory with Energy, as much as you get with Dutty. NRG cooks in quite a few applications even in Reference roms which you might not end up using ever. That said, NRG is a great chef, make no mistake.

Thanks for the update, I have never used the Reference ROM, but I always think of it when people as for a "more stock but not stock" experience.
Hey koolxx just wanted to say thanks for the mention, but like Icsaid before I am not a moderated. Although it might would be cool to be a moderator, but moderator I am not.
Also at koolxx and anand12 you can not flash a official or custom ROM that is older than a 2.07 ROM to a TMOUS HD2, maybe a 2.05 ROM. But I would only flash a 2.07 ROM tovbe safe. Yes if you found a custom ROM of a later version that did not haveca radio included you could flash it to a TMOUS but it would run like crap as like anand12 said you would not be able to use all of the 527MB of RAM the TMOUS has (notice I said RAM not ROM anand12 ). But if the ROM has a radio with it, a ROM of a version older than what I mentioned is guaranteed to brick a TMOUS..
edit: nevermind

Yes, but I would not expect any more ROM upgrades, since MS has turned to WP7 instead.
