Hi, I wanted to ask whether there is any rom out there which is identical to the stock rom found on htc hd2? I just need to flash a new rom to have more space in the ram. like go from 448 to 512? Sorry, I'm a newbie so if I have got any of the numbers wrong I apologise. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Have a look at artemis roms or Dutty's roms.........
Hope that helps.....
you need a rom which supports a .50 radio.
the older .51 radios only supports 448mb ram.

Start at the top = 6.5
Start at the bottom = 6.5.x
6.5.x is a newer build, the majority of custom roms are based on this and apparently its more finger friendly. I cant really tell you any more than that because I only use 6.5 (which is apparently slightly more stable).
I just dont like the way it looks with the big buttons on the bottom......
Do some searching there are threads going over the differences...
Hope that helps.....

I'm new to the Advantage-modding community, so I'm kind of lost when it comes to the vast selection of roms out there.
I just ordered an HTC Advantage x7501, and am [excitedly] waiting on it's arrival. The seller states it has Michy's WM6.1 WWE 1.56Diamond Edition flashed on it already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408300
So I'm wondering, what's the latest and greatest rom available for the Advantage as of April 2009? The Athena Project 4.0 [Link] looks nice, but I'm not sure.
I appreciate your help very much!
*Edit: I already know which is the newest rom. I'm simply wondering in what ways do the top roms [Namely Athena Project roms and Michy roms] outweight each other.

Welcome to the forum
The athena AP 4.0 rom is getting a bit old now and AP 5.0 never got past beta stage, BUT to swap to SPL 3.5 you have to flash with AP 4.0 first, HAVE TO!!! most of Michy's roms are on SPL 3.5 so when you get your x7501 hard press the camera key and press the reset hole to see what SPL it is. He does do some SPL 1.2 stuff so tread carefull. Please dont try to flash a rom with the wrong SPL, it causes all sorts of troubles. You cant go wrong with one of Michy's roms. 1.88 is an XP style, 4.1 is a vista style, 6.1 is a manilla touch style rom, and now he is moving on to WM 6.5, his beta 4 is quite usable. It is mainly down to taste these days. most of the bugs are beta tested out, so they are better than stock roms these days. WM 6.5 is still beta so expect bugs and hangs. While you are waiting why not read the WiKi to get to know it better.
Regards
Jay
Thanks for your reply. I recieved the Athena not long ago. I found out that it has the 1.2 SPL.
"ATHE100
IP-v2.02
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20.Olipro"
Can you perhaps link me to a thread that describes in detail how to flash different roms/SPL's? I'm interested in that 6.1 Manilla rom, but I'm at a loss of how to do it. I've been browsing around that Wiki and can't really find a guide to flashing roms. First of all I have to figure out how to get rid of the rom that's currently on it.

Read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
But I would suggest experimenting with loading SPL1.2 roms first to get some confidence if you haven't flashed before.
Michy's roms from here are the most recent and fully featured http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518
Good luck
That was just what I needed, thanks a million. It was much easier than I thought it'd be.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2, Telus CDMA version, and I've recently upgraded to an EnergyROM Windows Mobile 6.5. Now my friends want to upgrade too!
One of my buddies has an HTC Touch Dual from Bell Mobility, 20-key version, and is looking to upgrade to WinMo6.5, but so far most / all of the ROMs here appear to require the 16-key version.
Suggest a ROM for the 20-key HTC Touch Dual that'll work with Bell, and that has the Titanium interface please.
: )
I'd much appreciate it.

On the first post you can find some links (like 20 key input, Album 2.5) these you have to install too and other applications
vote for insomnia also, read the thread and you'll amaze for it
Im not a fan of imsonia, too many strange behaviours.
I change roms every now and then and that one was the only one I had to pass thru the original rom first to change into and from, to change back.
:/
I prefer clean roms, to have plenty of extra space and ram.
Clean by NemanjaLO is the one for me:

As far as i know there is no official way back, you have to install a 6.1 cooked rom.
Havent used it myself but others seem pleased with FFBOY'S 6.1 ROM. Other than that, which site did you see the offical rom at? If its a ch rom then its probably for the T01A and i believe it will need some conversion before flashing to a TG01. Hope i've helped
Edit: sorry the bit refering to a ch rom is aimmed at that_dood who asked a similar question in another thread so i pointed him here.
i have try that...maybe i love to find the offical 6.1 one...simple START with TOSHIBA MENU...I GOT VERY BAD ENGLISH...haha sorry...

官方6.1我手上有imgfs和xip部分，但是已经不能合成可用的刷机文件
因为驱动和目前刷机文件里的amss等部分不兼容，直接合成刷机无法启动
这就是我一直没有出官方中文的原因
I've had this phone since Feb this year,got it off eBay already upgraded to WM6.5,and want to have the original WM6.1 to put on it as I like the simple drop down start menu and the non honeycomb menus too. FFboy's 6.1 rom looks the business apart from one thing,it's the missing recently used applications icons that gets on my nerves. Have tried everything to rectify this but it seems I can't,are there any ideas out there to solve this issue? I've tried registry modifying and other software but nothing I've tried works,and I don't know if it's the rom or the phone thats the problem.

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 ....

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,

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..
