Fast and stable rom for daily use!? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I've been searching for rom that is fast, stable but with new camera driver that resolves flashlight problem (too bright flash lite) it should look like stock as much as it is possible, I tried Energy's reference rom, but I'm quite unsatisfied with speed of htc sense
Thanks for help in advance...
PS: I would prefer 6.5.3 roms...

artemis has all the htc uptates and looks exactly like stock and is very fast, however it is 6.5.5. btw this should have gone in the q&a section

Huh, I've used energy, axlor, another simple rom, liaroms and so far no one beats energy for speed. You might have occasional freeze ups, but speed has never been a problem.

Try a cleanEX ROM - and yeah, this should've been in HD2 Q&A..

i know, but it can be an interesting discussion
I am curently using ROMeOS 1.05 and i've seen a huge difference on my TP. I know that it was fast enough with the stock ROM, but TF3D gained considerably more scrolling speed and icons on Programs Tab appear so much faster know...
im using ROMeOS 1.05 to. it is a little bit faster but havent noticed so very much difference. but it is faster all right. and i havent found any bugs yet either. seems really good.
anyone using DCS-TouchPro-v14 and think its better than ROMeOS² v1.05.
The DCS rom is MUCH less buggy. With the stock rom or with the DCS rom I have never had a lockup in almost 3 weeks. With the ROMeOS rom I had several lockups with 2 different versions.
Stability was my main issue with that ROM
with lockups u mean that it hangs right. that havent happened with mu RomeOS. but maybe DCS is better.
If you DON'T use TF3D, is it nonetheless worthwhile installing a custom ROM, performance wise?
If you don't use manila... i suggest installing swtos light ROM.

I haven't tried the light rom mentioned here but I would tend to agree. Although it is pretty cool when you first get the device I have found that TF3D really slows down the device and is not very configurable .. that said, a rom with TF3D not "pre installed" would be a great idea!

Yes - it hung up and I had to soft reset. Maybe just be coincidental but I had it happen several times so my patience didn't last. Also I couldn't get SecondToday to work properly and since I already had been using it on my other ROM I thougth it must be the ROM itself
The Panosha ROM turns out to be my favourite, after testing every ROM ever released here. I get faster TomTom satelite lock on, and most of the times my phone network is connected even before 3D Touchflow is fully started.
This is my personal experience
Before this thread going to be locked, let me show u the path to the best ever Raphael ROM in earth for now. Get it here & pls share it
Did not see any COOKED ROMs there
All were cooked by HTC/Carrier staff
Right now I'm happy with the Stock rom with a few performance tweaks. I am more or less waiting until someone makes a custom rom that improves GPS lag and reception strength issues. Thats probably not going to happen until a new improved radio gets released.
i Love ROMeOS, its the best

Good Rom for Verizon Touch Pro

I have been looking for roms here and have not found 1 that works with a verizon touch pro that has sense 2.5 and runs decently. I have tried SSK, but it doesn't have sense 2.5 and have tried NFSFANS Rom (You have to change the pagepool to 5.). NFSFANS rom is great, but it is a little slow. Could anyone help me find a better rom? I have searched, but only found stuff like ssk.
Help?
Please take your time to flash ROMs and find what's best for yourself as subjective.
And just like any best ROM.. thread closed.

In search for a good Rom

Hi all,
I just got my Hero and haven't tried a custom rom jet. Therefor i want to start with the most "stock-like" and stable 2.1 rom, so no fancy extra's.. only to get the 2.1 feeling.
Which rom would you guys advise?
So to be clear, this is NOT a topic for finding " the best rom there is " (cause posts on that topic are always removed..) but just to look for the most basic , stable 2.1 rom.
Hope someone can help, thanks!
VillainRom 5.5
i didn't get along with villain; sensehero is the only 2.1 that's lasted more than 24 hours on my phone.
m8
try both of them and choose
(personally I like SenseHero)
I use VanillaEclair 2.0.1
Tried Villian, but it felt a bit slow trying to navigate menus, as well as a bit bored of sense so wanted a change

same. tried lots of 2.1 roms and found this one most reliable.
fast, stable, no batt drain and good support.
check it out here.
Hi Guys,
thanks for all of your quick reply's , this should get me started!
Guess i'll try Vanilla's first
You might like the SuperHero when it is released to public. Meant to be as fast as non-sense android with a couple of sense features chucked in for good measure.
For me it's SlideVillain - it's beautifull and very fast&stable. In my opinion it's even faster when you also activate app2sd good luck

[Q] I can't decide which Rom to try for my HD2

What is the best Rom for HD2?
Newbie here - to this site anyway - having just bought a HD2. I've had a look through the various Rom sites and the spreadsheet, but I can't decide which Rom to try for my HD2. I need to be up and running pretty quickly but I don't mind a bit of tweaking in my spare time.
I've had WM6.1 for a while on my old PDA and have tweaked it a bit.
As far as I can see I want the most up to date but reliable. Other criteria are fast, relatively lean, appointments/calendar, Outlook (MS Exchange), Internet, Office 2010. I use GPS a lot (have a couple that I've bought for 6.1). No social media - don't use it much.
I like the screen to show time and appointments most importantly and to have easy access to email - I get about 80 per day.
Please be as constructive as possible. Maybe some pros & cons would be helpful.
Many thanks
should've searched...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640732
Try the Energy Rom, Miri's Rom, Artemis, Dutty's - there are sooo many it's crazy hard to count...
I've been constantly switching between Energy and Dutty, Energy because it's easier to use and setup, looks nicer from the start, and is blazing fast, but Dutty's I find snappier and much better battery life. It's all personal experience... Just wait til you turn into a flash-a-holic like most of us here.
i tried them all and keep trying them all i am a flash addict , on a serious note just try them all until you find one you like
I'd go with this one:
http://hotfile.com/dl/92454692/a2b18ee/Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.sencity.Dec.27.7z.html
taken from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
It's a very stable 6.5 ROM with the awesome black and white sencity theme. It is fast and optimized and has everything you want. And it's Cookie 2.0 which means you can modify every aspect of the home screen, including email alerts, calendar, etc...
make sure you have the right radio per this:
If you're a beginner, read on as there's a few things you need to do first.
You need to install a modified "SPL" on your device that allows installation of custom ROMs such as this one. It's called a "Hard SPL" and it's in of these stickies at the top of this forum (not this thread!).
You need to install a compatible "radio" firmware that works with this ROM. The radios that work with this ROM all have ".50" in their name.
If you have a TMobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a "radio". The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio.
I RECOMMEND FLASHING RADIO 2.07.50 or 2.12.50 ! 2.07 can be downloaded here: > CLICK <.

Duttys_2.5_5.23152.5.3.12_3.14_HD2_ML_Family_ROM_(V13a)_WWE.7z is COM3 BUILDS
Duttys_2.5_5.21916.5.0.95_3.14_HD2_ML_Family_ROM_(V12)_WWE.7z is COM2 BUILDS.
If you use GPS software like [Garmin XT],you should go for COM2 BUILD as It's work great and no problem with me.
For COM3 it may have some problem with Garmin XT.
For me the good choice is Duttys_2.5_5.21916.5.0.95_3.14_HD2_ML_Family_ROM_(V12)_WWE.7z is COM2 BUILDS.
COM2 have the start menu on the top left corner.
COM3 have the start menu on the bottom left corner.
I am ususally a stock ROM guy,lately I tryed many custom ROMs,my problem with almost all of them was that they are based on latest HTC 3.14 FW,since I rely mostly on WIFI,and after trying Zillion times,its connection to the WIFI is just unstable.
However for the last couple of days I found this ROM called Clynex,for the first time I am so far happy with the WIFI connection,Its a bare bone ROM,very fast,usually I end up with 110MB of internal storage after installing my usuall applications,now I have 256MB !!.
RAM starts with over 300MB,on stock ROM It is next to impossible to have Opera 10 running and at the same time open the Camera,with this no problem even with few Tabs running.!!
I am using the standard one since ultra doesnt let you customize your themes,if someone wants to try it I suggest that re-install the CHT-EDITOR 1.8.5,-I was having language incompatibility ERROR.
Nice thread to exchange experiances and views.
Thanks for that info. Clynex? Is that CleanEX? If not do you have a link please
Cheers...
Yes that is it, Im using the RV Standard v. 1.01. 6.5
I tryed ultra but switched back to standard 6.5 since I needed the Co0kies 1.8.5 for theme customization.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875125
I did couple of things:
1-re-installed the the CHT editor 1.8.5(not Cookies just the CHT)
2-installed the marketplace ,you can find the .cab somewhere in this forum.
3-deleted the unnecessary Ringtones.
4-I noticed that most of the Tweaks were already done,but I changed the camera 5MP to 762929 in the registery,this will give you photos of 720p quality.
You can try le last Artemis v48.1.
This is the best artemis ROM at this moment for me
I am using Dutty's family Rom V13a, amazing battery life compared to stock and it has not crashed once since installing. Stock was freezing and crashing all the time.
Re GPS and Com. My presnt PDA is using Com 9 for the GPS.
What is the standard for the HD2?
Cheers...

Not trying to say 6.5 is the fastest thing on Earth here, but...
I have been flashing dozens of ROMS, on this forums for years (from the first T-mobile MDA) and by now WM 6.5 got really neat and fast - especially on HD2. Compressed Sense without unneeded tabs and extra pages in CHS 1.8.5 or 2.0 is really fast from boot (well WP7 might be faster here as I hear) to everyday use. Add here 3d accelerations and multiple well known tweaks like cache size or even overclocking etc... It is actually faster than I expected. Unloading Sense and using Titanium is very fast indeed if you need/use basic things only. True multitasking use for things like Putty for openning a SSH tunnel and then remote desktop connection and Opera internet connection using that SSH, while listening music in Sense player is quite smooth. HD2 performs fast and its multitasking works great - I got much more stuttering in different Android ROMS (SD btw) while simply listening to the music and surfing.
Now I believe Titanium only ROMS (Senseless) must be even faster and if you put SPB or other GUI on top of it - it should perform OK.
WP7 is fast on HD2 but I still find too many rough edges to use it every day. I will certainly test it and I hope it exceeds my expectations both in speed and usability. (Android btw is mostly OK, but I simply cannot use it as a no.1 OS)
Cheers.
