Usually I'm really good at figuring things out myself, but I've just gotta ask:
What's the difference between the custom ROMs?
I'm using Fresh right now, but I might as well have spun a wheel and picked at random. I tried browsing each thread, but couldn't find any useful hints as to what it's about. Is it just speed?
I understand that 2.1 is under development and not fully functional, so what is MCR, Fresh, Modaco?
MCR and Modaco are the same MCR = Modaco Custom ROM.
It is just a rom made by Paul O'Brien at http://hero.modaco.com
Really it's another custom ROM, just personal preference dictates which you use. Personally, I use MCR3.0, although there is a beta of 3.1 available for ad-free members of his site, and it will be publicly released when ready.
So the difference between Fresh and Modaco is...?
Fresh is a CDMA Rom, so you'd probably be better off asking this in the CDMA subforum.

Dave

You could try and search for yourself, or at least be gratefull for the things Anon and others say
You're not gonna ask here how you're able to flash the motorola droid are you?
Cos the cdma hero is another phone. It has a dedicated subforum and people
who own a gsm hero (the folks over here) can't tell the difference because a CDMA version doesn't work on a GSM hero.
It's easy to blame others for not searching yourself, these people are trying to help. The only thing you want is a list of pro's and con's....
Considering custom roms are made to fit personal needs no one is gonna make a list good enough for you.
Search before you ask

I did! I advised you to ask the question in the subforum for the CDMA Hero, but you decided to ignore that advice.
A little history lesson for you - the Hero forums existed long before the CDMA Hero was released by Sprint. Once Sprint had released their version of the Hero, Sprint users lobbied long and hard for a CDMA subforum (which they've now got). To be honest, the Sprint Hero probably deserved its own set of forums rather than just a subforum, just the Verizon Droid Eris did.
The *reason* that I advised you to go there is because most of the ROM discussions outside of the CDMA subforum is related to the GSM Hero. If you'd flashed MCR 3.1 to your device (as mentioned earlier in this thread), you may well have bricked your device.
Sarcastically saying that "You sure make it easy" when you've been given good advice isn't going to get you very far here!
Regards,
Dave
Sorry guys. Bad week. Cheers for the guidance.

Ok, sorry to ask a silly question that I am sure is all over this thread.
The reason i dont find it, its because I am a HTC Tilt user and familiar with that section.
Are there no roms yet for the CDMA version? Sprint?
If so can someone post a link what HARD SPL to use and where are the roms? I dont see any in this CDMA section?

I believe most of the CDMA Roms are all good for each of our vendor specific devices. You have to make sure you use the carrier specific unlocker but after that, you "should" be good to go.
It will always say (at least most times) in the rom thread what carrier it was developed and tested under and other compatible carriers as well.

Not correct. The same SPL unlocker may be applied to the same device. The Sprint, Telus, and Bell Touch Pros are all the same devices and may use the same unlocker and ROMs. The Verizon device is a different hardware model.

In addition to the ROM, some carrier specific settings may be incorporated into the ROM build or after flashing with a specific carrier CAB.

Are you guys looking under a rock? TP Roms don't fit under rocks.
There are a handful of excellent roms and detailed instructions (that you will need) on how to unlock your devices and flash to a new rom.
Please visit www.PPCGeeks.com in the Touch Pro Upgrades forum to be precise, and you will find ALL the information you are looking for.
I have enough sense to type ppcgeeks' url address in my web browser and search for roms. Last I checked this was xda-developers, I was hoping to find a good Alltel rom HERE.
I'm using Conflipper's latest Alltel rom from ppcgeeks, and it works great. But like all flashing junkies, I need my next fix. I was hoping I'd find something new over here. I wish DCD would ditch his Titan and get a Touch Pro. He made my Mogul an almost tolerable device. I can only imagine what he could do with a phone like the Touch Pro.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68
all CDMA roms^ best place to find them =]
Too Bad it's Down!
Yes, there are some great ROMS over there, but why are there none here? What if PPC geeks was to go down or something ? lol
I'm using one from Juicy (his last) that I'm getting 2 days of battery life out of, with my normal apps and hotmail pushing. I can skip a night of charging before bed and I still have a phone! Woot!

Rather than selfishly complaining about others not serving you -- why don't YOU contribute to the XDA-Wiki for links to CDMA ROMs...?
The gimme attitude of some is bothersome to many developers who spent their own time for the benefit of the community.

I don't have a "gimme" attitude. If I were demanding that someone from xda-developers make me an alltel rom, that would be a gimme attitude. I simply wanted to know if there were any available on the forum, and if so, WHERE.
Wasn't selfishly complaining about not being served either. Actually, I was bragging about how great DCD's roms are, and hoping out loud that he makes one for the TOUCH PRO.

I'm using Juicy's 4.7 ROM but you will not be able to find it on PPCGeeks because Microsoft shut him down!!!!
I think they said that he had something from there Win Mobile 7 in his ROM...... but don't quote me.
All I can say is that I was one of the lucky ones that got to download it before it was removed and like the comment was made earlier, I have at least 2 days of battery life and that with using the my phone on a regular!!! and pushing email.
It's great!!!!
Try Dream's ROM it is really good also.

Hi All,
before you jump on the bandwagon asking me to read the wiki or searhc, i already did that. However, all the results I got are specific to "Raphael" and not necessarily the Sprint CDMA version.
The stock ROM that comes with the Sprint Touch Pro really really really sucks. I even truend off / killed TouchFlo 3d and still have all kinds of problems.
I'd like a leaner quicker / more efficient rom, so the question is twfold
1.) How exactly do I go about unlocking the SPL to allow 3rd party ROMs?
2.) Which ROM would be recommended?
Thanx beforehand!
You might do better if you posted this in the forum specifically for CDMA version of the Raphael.
Its literally the sub forum above this one.
shassouneh,
I think CDMA TP have a different way of doing it...
Notice that all the ROM's in this particular forum are for GSM phones...
crazyC is right... post this thread in de CDMA one...
Mods: you should move this thread...
Thanx
THanx for the replies guys. Much appreciated. I actually considered posting it there but figured this is a ROM-related question so should be posted here. Since I am asking for a recommendation on which CDMA-compatible ROM / flashing method to use, I think it makes sense to keep it here just as much as it does to move it to the CDMA section.
Thoughts?
I could still use advise on my original ask.
I still think you are in the wrong forum.
A quick glance through the CDMA forum suggests that:
1. HARDspl is different for your phone to the GSM one, and that there are device specific variants, where as GSM phones just have the one. PPCGeeks maybe the best place for CDMA phones.
2. using a GSM rom will break your phone, and so you should be looking at the ROMS posted in the CDMA forum here or at PPCGeeks, both for the roms and for advice about them.
3. Posting here you risk getting advice from people who do not understand the differences bewteen the cdma and GSM phones (I am not clear about it - why would I be - we don't have CDMA phones over here).
4. Most people reading this particular forum will have GSM phones and have little knowledge to answer your question with. For a higher chance of getting your thread read by people who might have a good answer, I still think the other forum would be better.
But hey, this is a free world and this is just my advice.
Also, questions about which is the best rom are not usually treated very politely around here - once you have hardspl'd your phone, it is a case of read the thread with the ROMS in, pick one that gets good feedback and then try it. And another till you can settle on one. Everyone has different tastes and requirements. Of course, the next step is to start cooking - it gets very addictive. Then you get grief from your girlfriend/wife, then the arguments start about so much time on the computer......

Yeah, I know it can be a bit confusing, we don't have a ROM thread directly under the CDMA tab. Most GSM folks live here at XDA; I know I know it's not all GSM, but ROM development is really heavy for GSM users.

Totally agree, it's garbage. After flashing even KK's loaded ROM which has 100's more applications, TF3D is even more snappy than the stock Sprint.

Mighty Mike's Lean version is very nice, but it's really personal choice. There are too many to really Tell someone what to use. Install that one, play with it for a week, then install KK's, then play with that for a week, then install xWeapons, etc.
Now go to the CDMA world of ROM's:

No problem,
and yes, as other's have posted DO NOT instlal any of the GSM stuff, you will screw up your phone something fierce.
You can also update your Radio to 1.11.00F and get better batery life, it got rid of the overheat issue for me when WIFIing, and just better recieption, IMHO.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46616
Two ways to update:
You can update via the EXE's that come pre-packaged with damn near all the ROM's
or
You can rename the nbh file to RAPHIMG.nbh, copy that to the root of your SD card and bootload from there.
HOLD ALL 3
Volume Down
Power Button
Stylus Reset
Boot loader will pop up, then follow on-screen instructions.
Works for radio too.
Make sure you unlock 1st though!!
Enjoy.

Hi Chaz,
Were you able to connect EvDO after updating the ROM? My TP is only connecting 1x >: GRR
My question is, I see the CDMA ONLY rom section but there is only 1 ROM in there. I can't get my sound or notifications to work so I have to try another one or stick with the stock ROM. I need sound and notifications or I will not hear when my stuff arrives and like yesterday, I missed a lot.
Can any of the ROMs that don't say whether they are for GSM ONLY? Or can I not use a single ROM in the Raphael ROM development section? If my question is confusing let me know. I have the sprint HTC Touch Pro(CDMA), and I would like to try one of these ROMs that don't say GSM only... Some of the ROMS don't designate which one they will only work on.
I don't wanna brick my phone so any help would be greatly appreciated... Maybe everyone should designate if it's CDMA, GSM, or both so that no one bricks their phone just for that reason.
Thanks for the help and I appreciate all the work. If I find a ROM that i'll use... I will definitely donate.
Dan
Unless they specifically say they are CDMA, assume they are GSM. There isn't a ROM that can work on both tmk.

Yea, most here are GSM, I suggest you check out PPC Geeks, they are mostly CDMA and have quite a few ROM's over there. Thats the best advice I can give you!
Thanks very very much for your answers guys. I absolutely love djbeames CDMA Rom but I just need the sounds and notifications. I beleive he is having progress. I like ya'lls work and responses as I've said, i've been using this site for over a year now. I may check out ppc-geeks but ultimately my final ROM choice will be from XDA.
Sorry if I posted a thread with an already answered question. I always use the search function and this is propbably my first thread since i've started using this site over a year ago.
I've read a lot but there's more and more and more. I plan to read it all but I just didn't have time to look through a bunch of pages or text to find an answer that I couldn't find in the search function. Thought it would be ok if I just made a quick thread asking. Next time I'll probably PM one of you guys.

I know you said that you really like xda (I don't blame you) but i have to +1 that ppc geeks recommendation. It seems like they are pretty much the opposite of what you find here in that the majority of their work is for cdma rather than gsm.
Okay. I posted my first ever question/request for advice the other day and, despite 79 views, I have had no response. Perhaps it was too dull for those who are more accomplished with all things Android and everybody assumed that somebody else would answer.
Perhaps within the morass of information on these forums the answers are already out there. Maybe, but who knows. In other forums people tend to at least say - look there for answers - and post a link to another thread. But, it has been Christmas and I guess we are all pretty busy this time of year - Merry Christmas to all by the way
So, I thought I would re-shape my question/needs here.
Could anybody give me, or at least point me in the direction of, a glossary of terms type of thing?
I need to know things like what does 'radio' mean? How does it relate to the 'flashing' process' , And any other terms which people take for granted as being blindingly obvious, but which may not be to those of us very inexperienced. This forum can be quite daunting, but still, enquiring minds wanna know
Any help, again, appreciated.

HI, and thank you. Also apologies for my woolly question. And this is kind of my problem. When new to this even the questions I want answered are not always asked correctly. I was hoping to find a ROM for my Desire HD which has Sense 3.0. I have Gingerbread on the phone currently with Sense 2.1.
To be completely humble and honest, which I find to be the best way in almost all cases, I must say that I am not even sure what "how to flash a recovery" means, or "how to flash the ROM".
So, as you see, I am really new to this and feeling my way around. I am a quick learner though so I really just need bringing up to speed on a few of the basics and then I am sure I will be able to research my way around.

Please read before you do anything at all. From your posts it is plain you are very new to Modding so it is very important you understand what your doing as it void your warrenty and if done wrong can brick your device. Start with the stickies in the DHD section and read those a couple of times. Then check the Q&A and read there as well.
As mentioned, read the stickies in your section, there should be a lot of information there. In my device's subfora, there are great stickies chocked full of information. If we had the same device, I'd post some links for you. There's also a glossary of sorts stickied in the Thunderbolt section. Not everything in it will apply to your device but it may help with some general terms.
Before I even rooted my device, I read all of the stickies and recommended links. I then read over the Q&A and general subfora just to get a feel for it. What I read didn't make a lot of sense at the time, but later I remembered it and it made more sense. I then rooted my device, then read and read and read before flashing my first rom (CM6 - it was a while back).
It's a process, and the more you read the more you'll understand, until eventually you can start answering some of the questions that go unanswered. Just give it time... and make sure that you know exactly what you're doing - and why - before you jump in to something.
Good luck!

Hi there Zendel.
Apologies for the lateness of this reply. Been a busy day. I wanted to say thanks for the advice and to also fill in a couple of blanks, if I may.
You are quite correct, I am very new to modding and my only fear is buggering it up, as we say in Lancashire lol. However, it has already been rooted by a friend who took me through the process over the phone some months ago.
When I first got the phone it was with Orange and had all that Orange junk and splash screen etc. Hence, my friend talked me through rooting and installing a standard factory ROM. It was a lot to take in and, at the time, I didn't make any notes along the way, which would have helped me now - hindsight is a wonderful thing, as they say.
More recently he pointed me at a link to a RUU (is that right?) so that I could upgrade from Froyo 2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 with Sense 2.1 - so, in a nutshell, void warranty is no longer a concern
I have taken a look at some of the stickies, though I have not studied them intensely at this point. I will spend more time looking however and come back, perhaps, with more questions - or at least more relevant questions I should hope

Many thanks PlainJane - I shall go there now
Being a Member of XDA for a while now I recall in the past on different models that XDA use to create sub-forums for Carrier Variants. I.E. Verizon, Sprint, GSM based. This was helpful for the noobs and Rom creators in making sure that Noobs didn't flash the incorrect Rom or Recovery.
Looking at the HTC One Max forums there occasionally is this confusion as members will post a general variant specific issues and a novice not knowing the difference would unintentionally use it thinking it applied to their device. Some Devs don't identify there Roms or indicate a variant which contributes to the issue.
I think it would be very beneficial for development on this device to have Variant based sub forums. Additionally having variant based sub-forums will help identify Underdeveloped devices.
Just my 2 cents.

I'm sure when we get way more than 3 threads in original and 3 in development they will look at dividing the Max forum. Until then we need anyone that posts anything to ensure they identify what model it will work on. I believe most of the development done for us thus far does not identify which model it works for because it works across all (in one form or another).
To be honest most if not all of the issues people have had thus far is because they are not searching and reading to understand something before they do it. I guarantee a dev or someone with knowledge will try to help the best they can. BUT no one wants to help someone that doesn't try to help themselves by understanding what they are doing first.
If anyone notices that some development is device specific and it is not labeled as such then ping the dev and ask that they identify it appropriately. And if anyone feels strongly enough that something is not labeled or mislabeled that could end up causing issues with someone's device then AFTER ASKING THE OP to update feel free to contact one of our mods to correct or close the thread until it is adjusted. Many hands make light work...
i can see both points here

I can see the point as well. But it will be a while before the forums are divided if at all. I said "until then" because we all need to work together now to police the threads to make sure things are made clear if they are not.

I know coming from the Motorola Droid HD forums that the impact of not separating them is lots of "Learning Experiences". I am quite learned in the rooting/bootlocker experience and even I was confused by the variants in that forum. I got it sorted out but it took longer then is should have.
I am in the process of learning java and android development and I plan on properly labeling my threads and apps. Oh and Blender for Custom Boot Animations. I have a Plan for A Doctor Who based Animation.
Plus I like tidiness and organization. Makes things more efficient.
How do I tell which version of the One Max I have?
It's one of the 32 gig versions, it's gsm and works on United states ATT. baseband version is 4T,27.3218.14_10.33C.1718.01L Software number says 3.15.1540.1 I think it might be the Hong Kong or British one, but it's been quite confusing trying to figure out which is which. I bought it off Amazon, so I know there's a chance that the software has been "improved' a bit.
Thanks for any help-I did try to search on it, but wasn't finding anything with useful info for me, or possibly I just don't know where to look. It's been some few years since I had an HTC..I bought the original G1 on opening day
Any help, or even just a point in the right direction would be most appreciated. I'd like to get this sucker rooted and get rid of the crapware as soon as possible
