I've updated the ROM on my phone with 2 different roms recently and both of them have issues that are really upsetting me.
I've used NFSRom which I love and Vetvito's as well. I have a problem where both with occasionally freeze on me and when I go to do a reset (Hit the little button with the stylus) instead of just restarting it resets the phone back to defaults and wipes out everything like contacts and all. I've reinstalled both roms a few different times and still the same issue.
Can anyone point me to a ROM that's basically stable...
I am using an Alltel Touch Pro
Try the EnergyROM, I don't know what kind of device you are using so I can't give you a direct link, but just do a quick search and you will find it.
Use Calkulin's ROM. Fast, Stable, and loaded with lots of goodies. Here is a link to the ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/file/tzmgjytkzm3/Calkulin's Touch Pro 23506 ROM v4.2.7z
You can also download the kitchen if you are adventurous and wish to create your own rom from this link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/mthmk2vhoyd/Calkulin's Visual VGA Kitchen v4.2.7z
Calkulin is by far the most stable ROMs out there.... but other chefs have cooked up some better interfaces. You may want to go to PPCGeeks and check out the CDMA Touch Pro thread and see if there is anything else you like. Beware- the newer and flashier.... the more likely to have bugs.
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions.
You didn't flash a stock rom before flashing one of the custom ones, did you?
I had the exact same issue when I flashed my first rom. I figured since I was coming from a stock rom there was no need to flash a stock one first, but I was wrong. Once I flashed back to stock -> hard reset -> flashed custom -> hard reset everything worked fine.

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:

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
I have to reset it alamost every day, because it freeezes. Im curently using latest stock rom.
1 - 2 times a week. no freezes, because of bugs. energy rom.
Stock ROM should not freeze... unless you have something wrong installed...
May you can try with only the ROM installed and check...
You can also try installing customized ROM/Cooked ROM...
Thanks.
I use Enrgy ROM and never have to reset unless I install something.
NEVER....
use to be a NRG rom user now i am hoked on this rom in my thread!!!
Highly suggested!!!!!!!!!!
i was running LOS 16 and fancied a go on Globe-ROM (NOT to be mistaken with GLOBAL) which is based on MIUI EU. i wiped cache/dalvik/system/data, flashed latest globe rom and wiped cache/dalvik once more.
at first boot it asks for my password, but i never set one nor had any sort of protection - fingerprint/face etc.
i'm guessing it became encrypted somehow but, can anyone advise what to do!!??
many thanks
EDIT: i see after trying to flash a second time, part of the flash log says 'encrypted data detected, keep forceencrypt... does this help you guys help me!?
sorted it!! i needed to format data as well in twrp
You still on Globe ROM? I'm thinking of flashing the latest beta. I'd appreciate if you could share your opinion on it's stability and the ROM overall.

sure! basically, globe rom is based on miui EU, which is debloated. so it's plenty stable! with globe rom here under expert settings you can customize the rom further to your desire. choosing to remove other miui stuff like email etc and adding the bits you want eg. magisk, adaway etc. note, some apps are just copied to a folder which you have to install yourself after booting into the rom, such as miXplorer.
personally, i've been trying various other roms too but i'm about to return to globe until other roms are fully stable in all aspects
BTW, play store is included, just in case you were wondering
Thanks, man! Downloaded it. Will flash right away.
