hi
i tried win 7(nand), and android 2.3.5 and few more(sd) on my hd2.Had some battery power issue with win 7 and android ROM's. i liked android,But i always miss that HTC Sence (weather Widget). so i went back into win 6.5.
i saw some good looking ROM on page..... HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development..... many of them even have htc sense weather widget... the one I like most..
now my question is, why I should use these ROM. they are pretty much like original ROM, and what is the diff. between them and original ROM.
why should i go 4 these Rom,instead of original ROM.?? is there a very big diff. and what??. Many question in my mind, but don't have any answer, if some of you can explain it to people like me, its very help full for me and other people..
thanx in advance..........
The Problem is that there is a lot of software on the stock ROMs we do not need. On custom Roms this software is removed. In the stock Roms there are also some cool features disabled (Camera modes, 567mb Ram...) and the devs of the custom roms are using a better compression and other tools to make the rom faster.
Many reasons to use them such as:
Better support for bugs & personal preferences
Removing of network software & limitations
Newer firmware/software such as WM6.5.3 & camera app ect are only available via custom ROM.
NRG rom transferred my device & further setup by myself of WM6.5.3 based ROM has made a very practical & elegant platform far better than Android unless gaming is a priority.

I've tried many roms for my raphael, though they are all good, but most of them have extras that I don't need, and they can't be uninstall.
Is there a ROM with just a basic (no extra 3rd party apps) functions?
A clean ROM basically, for raphael?
Thanks
If you like i could maybe upload my ROM and list the applications i do have on it etc and remove them for you ? It's a very basic ROM.

cleanest i've ever seen around, though pfc doesn't cook publicly anymore.
and with 218 posts under your belt and a member since 07, you should know better than to post this question here

Well... i've just upgraded my trinity to touch pro recently, and I'm a newbie here
and as far as i can see, that rom isn't very clean (maybe the cleanest among the available ones)
I don't really need stuffs like google map, spb calculator (basic calculator is enough), total commander, etc
cleanest in my opinion would be da_g's roms. basically you cook your own rom by selecting what you want...or what you dont want.

Download "Plain Jane no homescreen interface" version
Da_G's plain ROM is great, but you have to install a number of things to get good functionality (better left to those very experienced with customizing).
The plain interface version of the EnergyROM is a good mix and doesn't have any unnecessary UI elements. Very fast IMHO and includes good apps without programs that no one uses (except Windows Live )

i don't remember there being a spb calc on it, and everything else like google maps IS uninstallable
edit : i see wat ur talkin about now, his applicaiton list. he musta have forgtten to remove that, it's not on there. but as sum1 above suggested, the cleanest way is to use da_g's kitchen and cook ur own rom, he's made it very simple for any noob to use.
I was wondering this also
Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen
Agreed ... Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen is the quickest way to cook a ROM to one's liking. There is a fair number of packages already included in the kitchen that can be selected/unselected.
Here's the link to the thread:

HTH,
sshhhh ... rumour has it that an update to the kitchen will be out shortly ... don't tell anyone though.
I nominate At0mAng 5.4 rom. Its based on the latest build (from what I could see, the rest were not), avaliable both with AT&T and HTC hardware, and is pretty close to stock in the apps and visual customizations thats included.

Louzeberry is also using the latest WM6.1 build but of cse it's not as lean as cooking your own ROM, but it looks darn good!

Since I am new in using Touch pro,
so I wanna know which rom do you use ?
Do we have "ROM Poll" in this forum ?
thanks
ROM Polling, haven't see it yet, but i use Timolol's WM6.5, stock ROM like now, i think it would be better to add a polling here, latest ROM that's members used now.

i made a poll last year with a big list of all fuze roms but it closed after a few days, but im using gen y tp0 RO optimized for android i like it because the windows mobile part is built for speed and it is mainly used to run android, so it depends what u use ur phone for i can also recommend energyrom and chrome rom.
I tried a lot of ROMs but Ultimately I have to stick to WM 6.1 due to a software compatibility issue. one of the custom software I need runs perfectly only on WM 6.1!
Though I miss WM 6.5.x which I shud say is cool, I am currently sticking on Gen Y WM 6.1 Sense 2.1.....see signature!

It is the best form me
Energy ROM Phoenix 2
Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland
Mike
Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.

Cheers,
HD2 new rom finished? Any new ROM will build?
Window Mobile is no longer being worked on.
If you are a keen user of this OS I would just install one of the great custom WM ROMs & just enjoy it while you have hardware to support it.
Hopefully given time Windows Phone or Android will get down to making serious user innovation of a OS rather than usual hassle with minimal configuration, lacking obvious simple functions & constant UI changes that benefit no one ...
Moved to proper forum.
Hey guys,
I know there are many best ROM threads out there as well as many flavors suitable for all needs. Personally, I just don't have the time test everything until I find the perfect ROM.. So I hope you guys can help me choose a good one considering the list below..
I'm currently using CM11 and although it's a great lightweight rom I miss many basic Samsung stock functions (swipe to call, palm to mute, etc..). I also know some apps should solve this but IMO they don't..
So, I'm looking for a Samsung based rom that's:
- easily installed by pc or cwm recovery
- stable and preferably bug/freeze fix free with everything working
- lightweight and widely supported
- although not essential, preferably with nightlies updates
- either s5 or mini s5 based
- android 4.4.2 or higher
And I think that's it. Thanks in advance.
There are not many 4.4 tw roms to try. Best bet would be to read the threads and see what the user's think. See what the problems are ect ect
