Righty, used win mob for years, have just come from a TG01 to the HD2 (got tired of being the poor relation) and with it has come tenfold more options and different methods to do these options, so I'm after a little help filtering out a year or so's dev.
What I am basically after is a clean 6.5.x (the one with the start at the bottom) and the latest sense updates etc, but no real additions like changed icons, boot screens etc that is Android compatable (one of the points for chosing the HD2), which also leads onto the better choice of Android builds at a later date.
I have HSPL2 my device already (1.66.0000), but coming from other phones all the roms seem to require one radio stack or another (TG01 had them built into the rom, just one flash was all that was needed), so I am looking for the best shopping list to get my phone set for playing with if someone doesn't mind taking a bit of time out
My current favs are (from what I have found in the latest roms),

Running a t-mobile UK HD2 with the last official rom, I have read a few guides but as said each seem to come with their own idea of what to do :/
Hey there,
I would recommend you using one of the 'Energy' ROM's, as these are stable, fast and regularly updated. It also comes in a variety of 'flavours'. The Standard 'Reference' version seems to be what you are looking for:
Standard 'Reference'
•This ROM is mostly for people that want a close to stock ROM with the stock visual style. It's also perfect for doing your own customizations.
•A lot of the cooked in apps are removed in this ROM, the Start menu back to the stock 3 row style
•Sense and everything else is back to the default HTC green.
It may have a custom boot screen though.
However I would strongly encourage you to go for a fully custom ROM (Energy's CHT Dinik Glass is my personal fav) as you get lots of extra apps. I know the current version of CHT Dinik Glass comes with a built-in 'Launch Android' button so it is definately Android-compatible =]
If you choose to download one of these ROM's please ensure you pick a 23138 build, as these are the builds with 6.5.x (Start button at bottom)
As for the radio I'd recommend any .50 radio as these seem best for compatibility (and are necessary to use Energy's ROM's). I am in UK (Cornwall) using Vodafone and after testing various radio versions found 2.12.50.02_2 to work best for me (your mileage may differ)
To summarise: if you want a custom ROM that stays close to Stock, go for one of the Energy Standard series. If you want a custom ROM thats truly custom, go for the Energy CHT series.

if your spl says 1.66.0000 then you dont have hspl on your phone.
.0000 spls are stock, they are included in teh hspl program to make removing hspl and returning to stock easier.
run hspl2 again, but this time choose 1.66.hspl in the dropdown.

Thanks for that, give me a couple of areas to start with that seem to be default for most things, UK here too and the TG01 did seem to have a better radio signal on it than this current one.

Hi Everyone,
and greetings, this is my first post here. I'm done with the Wiki, read through all the stickies, ROM and radio threads, and I also searched the forum for info. I'm very thankful for everyone contributing to the this forum, and appreciate the hard work of the cooks.
Sorry for opening a new thread for this one, but I have found nothing in connection with it.
I own a Sunnysoft Interwrite localized (hungarian) HTC Touch PRO T7272 device with the shipped multilanguage WWE ROM (1.90.401.1 WWE 08/01/08 ROM, 1.02.25.19 radio, 52.33.25.17U PR, 1.90.401.101 EXTPKG), and i'd like to decide whether it's worth for me to flash and try cooked ROMs or not.
My baseline is "if the damn thing works, don' f*ck with it" /(c) the famous problem solving flowchart/, however I'm not satisfied with the device performance and speed, and I'm curious if it can be improved.
Objectives:
improve device ROM performance, speed
improve radio,
implement performance tweaks,
install some cool apps,
_but_ somehow retain hungarian localization,
warranty is not in focus so hard-SPL can go,
but I don't want to mess with security unlock (so other device radios are out).
To make my decision, I have my questions, still unanswered (excuse me if it's a bit lengthy):
1. Do cooked WWE ROMs (T.i.R., Elite, PROven, ROMeOS I've considered so far), support localization in my language in any way (TF3D menus, and the WM 6.1 also), i. e. will I be able to select a localized language?
2. Is it possible (and is it worth it) to apply Sunnysoft Interwrite localization after flashing the above ROMs, or do the packages contain this Sunnysoft app at all? If so, will applying localization this way deteriorate performace significnatly, thus reverting it back to the level of the shipped ROM?
3. Does the linked reconstructed 1.90.401.1 WWE multilingual ROM have the Sunnysoft localization, so that if I'd like to return to the stock ROM by flashing this reconstucted one, will I be able to get my device in to the shipped localized state? (This is the _most important_ question, because it gives a sense of safety for trying cooked ROMs, and as I read olnly experiencing will tell which one works best)
4. If, after the above questions answered, I decide not to mess with cooked ROMs, what are the options for improving performance without flashing ROMs (i. e. solely with performance tweaks, registry settings new cabs, etc.)? Is there any chance to achieve the same performance results through these solutions?
5. Are there any risk in trying only upgrade radios, for example missing or incomatipble mobile network setinngs etc., or it can only be the case if these radios are applied with a cooked ROM?
Thank you, and any answer or help is highly appreciated.

Could somebody please help me with this? Anybody?
the beauty of a cooked rom is that they remove junk that many people don't want and add things which people do want. This may increase or decrease speed compare to stock rom depending on the rom. There are selected tweaks such as pagepool and cache size, but these tweaks may only be placebos. HTC connection setup should include your localization. You'll really have to test out the roms to see if they are really for you.

Thanks a lot for your reply, it helped with Q4. and I guess it's an answer to Q1. also.
If I interpret this correctly, this means that there is localization in these WWE ROMS, but does it include also the WM6.1 interface, and is it achieved through this crappy sunnysoft app?
And can you help me with my question about the posted reconstructed ROM (Q3.), will my device be in the same state if I flash this one back after trying some cooked ROMs?
Thanks for your help once again.
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.

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.
Hey all!
So I've decided that I don't like the instability of my HD2 anymore, it's gotten to be quite buggy at times so I was thinking that a ROM flash would do the trick, so that I can start over again. I need to learn how to do it again, though, it's been a while for me.
The problem is, there's TONS of ROMs out there that I don't know what to do or which one to choose! There's just so many that I can't decide.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I value speed, functionality, productivity, messaging features and most of all, stability. Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for your time, XDA!
to flash a custom ROM, yoiu will first need to download HSPL (the latest is version 3). if you search the forums, you will find the main thread. as i have a t8585, i can use any version of HSPL, but you should check on the main thread which one is compatible with your handset (tmous only works with 1 version). after installing HSPL, you can then choose your custom ROM. i think the latest version is HSPL 2.08
as you said, there are hundreds of custom ROMS. on the forums somewhere there was a comparison table of all the available ROMS, but it was out of date and incomplete the last time i looked a few months ago. personally, i would reccommend CleanEX ROMs as they are very fast and stable. there were 3 to choose from, but i believe one of the ROM developers has now retired from it, so that leaves 2 that will be kept up to date. personally, ive been using the DsE version (i have version 3.5). these are updated frequently to a point where i only update to major releases (version 2 to version 3 for example) and only update to a .x version if i am experiencing a problem that the new version fixes (hence being on 3.5 currently). the ROM has some things left out, so you may need to download some CABs to get some of the apps (i think there are about 3 apps left out, one of which is Microsoft MyPhone). you can still apply registry tweaks, but be careful if using cabbed versions (ive had a few that stop sense from loading) programs like bsb tweaks work as well.
depending on what stock ROM you have, you may also need to update the radio rom before installing the custom ROM. the WWE version of generic ROMS uses very outdated radio ROMs. CleanEX ROMs require radio 2.08 or higher. there are several versions to choose from, but 2.12 is the latest, 2.11 seems to be the most stable, and 2.10 gives the better battery life. ive personally been using 2.11, as 2.12 caused touch screen issues, but that may be because the radio was from a non WWE ROM
the only other thing you will come accross is weather to use WM 6.5 or 6.5.5. WM 6.5 is what the WWE ROMs use, which has the start menu at the top. WM 6.5.5 has the start menu at the bottom, but is more finger friendly with slightly larger buttons. performance wise, they seem to be the same. i have tried out both and WM 6.5.5 takes some getting used to, but is easier to use
I use ChuckyROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787. It works pretty well and have had no problems with it.
THANKS for the advice, Matt. I've been looking for this!!
artemis, looks like stock, without the problems, only ROM ive used so far that I haven't had problems with, loved energy, but wont work with my phone, same with miri, only issue is the text system, same as stock rom, loads quicker, but still bit funny
there is no perfect rom, but let's say this:
eye candy: dinik & miri (WWE)
practical and smooth: chuckyrom gtx (WWE)
stable and with some nice features: Duttys crème de la crème (MULTILANG)

i was about to add that to my post! some roms require newer radio versions, its best to check on the rom thread for requirements and install instructions. at the end of the day, rom choice is personal, ive tried duttys holy grail, but found it to be too unstable, ive tried energy, but had issues with sense lagging. cleanex worked best for me, but im sure others will say the same about cleanex as what i have said about other roms. generally, if its your first custom rom and you are a bit unsure about it, look for a close to stock rom, which keeps it simple. also look for names of experienced developers. all roms will have their own thread, with the features, whats been added, whats been removed, requirements, install instructions and faq, plus users will often rate/review the rom and post up problems and solutions. if you PM me, i can try and hunt down the comparison guide i downloaded (i havent been able to find the thread on xda ) and i can send it to you, this may help you see what some roms offer
So.,.. im in doubt again.. Should i use Official rom and modify it with programs and themes as i want, or should i use some cooked rom ( elegancia rom is the most suitable rom for me within the cooked roms..)

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 ?
the only think i dont like with estetics on artemis rom are those bubble buttons for phone and menu... can that be fixed?

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 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.

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.

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..

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..

thanks for that info, t-macgnoli. i think i'll just run the most updated stock rom.. i think installing an older rom will give problems like you said. thanks man.
one question... how will i know when the next version stock rom will be made avilable? do i have to visit htc's website for that?

Yes, but I would not expect any more ROM upgrades, since MS has turned to WP7 instead.
