Difficult question; all depends on your expectations/needs.
Personally I'm more fore a Cooked Rom reason way; it is mostly build by a personal creator, with his opinion/experience on the way how it will be better, and if you look into each Rom Builders thread you will see a lot of updates, and a lot of people recommendation and gives feedback about there opinion.
Let say that mostly a Cooked Rom is build on customers needs, and not on the thinking way of a factory.
If you ask me, tray it out, you can always changed your Rom version.
One important rule, reed always attentive the instructions, and follow them.
yes ... u are right... i found elegance rom best suiting me .. but 2 things i hate about it :
i cant get original volume control back ( instaled all possible cabs, but no )
lockscreen is damn ugly even when i restor original one, its ugly...

All depends on taste sir; unfortunately this isn't a thing I can help you out.
But if you go take a look on the theme thread's you will certainty find one you like. (There are different versions of it, but it's a little bit searching)
I don't know if you have take already a look to the Artemis Rom?
I don't have the intention to favoring/make publicity fore one Rom builder; but I have had a lot of different Rom version's and I always came back on Artemis. (But again this is personal need/opinion.)
Oh yes; it have the opportunity to switch between two different lock-screen versions (they are build in the Rom) and it have the original volume control.
In case of; you can find the link in my signature.
and whats the speed of device with artemis rom? and are there bugs ? have u tried elegancia rom ?

Okay, this are multiple questions
- Speed is Okay (quietly fast comparing some other that I have used), and smoothly.
- Bugs; I must be honest thil here I think I'm a lucky guy and didn't have found bugs on it, but I must also be honest in the past there were some version's where the battery drains fast; but on the version I'm now it's okay. (2,5 sometimes 3 days of battery life (I'm always in 3G used synchronization of whether/Mail/Twitter(if it works) every 10 minutes used 4H/day WiFi/(surfing on the net) and do about 3H of communication/day (I Know I'm phone addicted) I don't set my device on sleep; always turns on 24/24 and if I have time about 1h/day I listen the radio on it.
So I must say I'm satisfy on battery life/comparing on the needs I have.
Of course that don't mean there aren't now bugs, Sternas (the creator of Artemis Rom) do mostly each week a Rom update, I don't have always the time to follow it so I can not say if it's always smoothly. But I see if people communicate bugs/problem's he do directly a new update. Much respect fore that fore someone who build multi language Rom!
- No, I didn't tried Elegancia Rom; so I can not compare with this version.
- About the bottom buttons; he have 5 different versions of it already build in his Rom; so you can shoos between them. But it's not something fix from the Rom; in the Theme Thread you will find hundreds different versions. fore WM 6.5.X there are a lot of stuff. So you are free to install whatever you like.
I hope I gives you a fully and useful information.
In case off; just ask.
Kurt
The most impotent is to follow your needs/taste.
Ons you have discover that part its just flashing
(Impotent no matter witch Rom you decide to take is to read/follow the instructions thy mention on there thread.)
And if after all it wasn't what you expected; you just take a other one.
err, i just got artemis rom ,and whats the diffrence between official rom and artemis rom ? i dont find any diffrence..

Eh? A lot sir;
Fore the beginning it's WM 6.5.X instead of WM 6.5.
secondly you have all the latest manila/OS/packaging versions.
There are also included some useful applications.
And ...
But if you mean; "on the first look it look like Stock Rom"
Yes; it's normal; because Sternas cooked Rom on Stock Rom Philosophy.
Reason way; everyone have a different taste about Look/skin.
so you are free in that part. (but if you used it some wile; you will see the difference by experience)

Hey there, i'm actually using one of first distributions of wm6 and haven't had much problems, but if i should upgrade again which one should i choose?
Any suggestions?
THNX
Read all Threads about the Roms and try self!
Mobiz Roms are good and stabil
PDAVIET Rom is good and stabil too
Try some ... and use the Rom, that is easyer to handl for you!
I'm with Netrunner some people might say that one ROM does not contain any error, while others will say it does.. ..so you are the only one that can say to you wich ROM suits your needs best... ..and keep in mind, always flash your device with caution!

Do you have a link to that Netrunner ROM ? Would like to both try it, and throw it in the WM6 Collection thread..
The key is to READ, and READ and READ. I read a LOT OF the threads regarding the several Pdaviet, Smart1, Trueneytral, PDAMobiz ROMS. After that I get a general feel of which ROM is better and less buggy.
In the end, I chose pdaviet 4.0.0.0.2, and I'm satisfied so far... but that's me. It could be diff for u.
Only *complaint* is that I can't use the ExtROM (which I understand is still unlockable in ALL WM6 ROMs)

How about 4.0.0.0.3? I like the green keyboard of 4.0.0.0.2 but the Wifi turning on function is not reliable and upgraded to 4.0.0.0.3. .3 verion has less memory!. It claimed it has pagepool of 8mb but I don't feel the performance difference. I am not sure that is the improvement of the .3 over the .2.
I would like to hear someone can say the improvement of the .3 version too.
Ext Rom is unlockable! If the unlock reg keys doesnt work -> the driver isnt right TFFS Driver isnt right configurate. Fantastic Mobiz 2.0ac is the best example.
hello,
sadly my prophet's wm5 configuration is not ok anymore and i get more and more problems with it.
i have to hard-reset my device, but instead of starting again with i fresh wm5 i thought i simply flash a wm6 rom on the device.
my problem is, that i don't want to do this several times a month. so i am looking for a wm6 wwe rom, without any (still open) major bugs.
i thought the smart v3 rom is ok, but in its thread i read, that it doesn't charge while it is connected to the pc and that mail accounts get lost after soft-resets.
do you know, which rom would satisfy me?
i don't need any built-in third party applications, so a clean rom would be nice.
also i want to be able to reassign all hardware buttons to other apps.
thx in advance for any suggestions
if you want a stable bug-free wm6 rom for your prophet. There is none. read the thread for each of the roms if you want a clear picture of what to expect. Otherwise, i suggest you stick with the original rom. In my opinion, that's the best "bug-free" rom...

I got the same question about the available ROM. I've already took a look on some of the threads...why do the have to put all these piece of crap which I will never use...??? I also want something clean and tidy I could custumise myself...
Hi all
I'm a total noob here and i'd like to flash my Qtek s200 G4 WM5 to a nicer rom. I read a lot of posts here and the wiki but i need your advice before i do anything.
Here is what i'd like to have :
- a rom without bugs or problems if possible
- a rom thats quite fast (i need ram and proc to use video and stuff with my bt headphones) and doesnt use too much battery
- a new interface (black vista like if possible) with scrolling and cube (like the pdaviet video on youtube)
- a tutorial or a step by step do do it without killing my phone
I know thats a lot to ask for a noob lol.
By the screenshots i like the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch. If its stable and doesnt use much battery i'd like this one but maybe i should try a newer one???
My questions :
- Do i have to upgrade to WM6 first?
- can i come back to my old wm5 rom (which works good) if i dont like the new and how?
Please feel free to give me links to posts i missed.
thanks for your answers and keep the good work.
I think you can find alot of useful links and information in this thread. I also wanted to have the pdaviet 4.0.0.06 rom, but I went for Gullums multilingual Coffie rom instead, I haven't regret it, works perfectly, faster and more stable than my old WM5.

1) no, you must HardSPL/SoftSPL your device first.
2) yes! Depening on the brand of the device, you can either download the official RUU (check out the wiki) or perform a ROM Dump to a spare SD card. (also check out the wiki)
Thanks An3Azz.
l3v5y, i'll check this one
any other member wanna tell me which is the best rom?
the more stable and the best looking?
I think the opinion of most users here is that the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder! I like my own ROMs as I cooked them to be the way I want them, others like other ROMs because of the way they are...
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
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

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..
