With the release of the new WM 6.1 official ROM, I am now ready to finally upgrade to it, but I am just wondering, which one should I choose to install. The official sprint release, or the DCD 3.2.0 one, I have never installed a custom ROM before so i would also have to unlock my phone or whatever. All I really want is the best speed, stability, and RAM. I want all the features to work, like task manager, internet sharing, TCPMP, WMWifiRouter etc... So which would be better for my needs, or are they both too buggy and should i just stick with the official WM 6.0 ROM that i am currently running?
Killer, You have a tough choice!! if you want the best speed with a slim down rom without the bloat that sprint loads on it, then I would go with DCD. I've had his roms for over a year now and upgrade every time he comes up with a new version.
Both The official and DCDs work just great. I like the ability to cook my own programs on my phone. There is a small bug on DCDs 3.2 right now but I'm sure he will fix in no time.
and about unlocking!!! Just flash Olipro 2.40 and that will take care of any future flashing. Also Read the Wiki... it will help you decide!
Good Flashing!!!
DCD's ROM's will always outperform carrier stuff because DCD strips out the useless crap/junk like SQLCE, and other nonsense that no one cares about or uses.
Plus, DCD is a certified pimp. You cant go wrong with that.

He is pretty gangsta, thats for sure. If you want it all, go with DCD. And by all i mean stability and speed with memory. Use his kitchen and build a rom with only what you need in it.

We can't argue with this!!!!
If you flash a sprint ROM you're probably going to stick with it until the next official sprint ROM comes out.. which is NEVER (this is the LAST update sprint is doing to their moguls).
If you flash a dcd ROM you're probably going to stick with it until the next dcd ROM comes out.. which will probably be in the near future (days or weeks).
I think a better question for yourself is how far are you REALLY willing to go?
flashing custom ROMs is kinda like CRACK. once you start, it's really hard to stop.
Thanks for the informative responses, so basically, all I need to do is install/flash olipro 2.4 and then I can upgrade to custom ROMs as I would to any official ROM?
If so is there a very easy to follow guide on how to use olipro and install a kitchen?

You want the Titan Upgrade forum.
The guides and info that you want is available and up-to-date in the Titan Wiki.
DCD Roms
So any of his current versions include Sprint Navigation ? That is one app I can't live without....
Hey All,
I just switched from my HTC Touch PRO to the HTC Hero. I use Sprint as a carrier and I am looking forward to getting used to the Android platform. My phone is running the following rom.
Firmware: 1.5
Baseband: 1.04.01.09.21
Kernel: 2.6.27-533ce29d
Build: 1.29.651.1
Software: 1.29.651.1
Anyhow, I was wondering if I could upgrade to 2.73.405.5 ROM. I know that this is available for Europe but I don't see it for US yet. Is there a big enough difference between ROMs that I would not be able to upgrade?
Thanks for the help in advance and I hope to be able to contribute to the community with so apps.
The problem with having the US version is that it is (correct me if I am wrong) the only CDMA android device so far. Although 1.6 Donut should have CDMA support, it was not included, so they opted to modify 1.5 to make it work. Anyway, the point is this:
1) we will see some official update in the next month or so from Sprint, HTC, or maybe android 1.6 (?)
2) We are all in need of root access to the phone to start getting some cool ROMs, the new radio, wifi-tether, etc

I second both of these I have been reading about problems with this phone and it seems to me that they are all related to the modification of the 1.5 rom to make CDMA work and to get it out to the consumer as soon as possible
Can someone provide me with a Nandroid backup of the Sprint Hero ROM? If so, i'm happy to do a MoDaCo Custom ROM for it?

Have we confirmed whether the kernel vulnerability is fixed on the Sprint Hero?

As has been already stated, chances are if you "upgraded" to an EU ROM your phone wouldn't work any more due to lack of CDMA support in the EU builds.
However, thus far we've no evidence that the Sprint build is a "lower" build than the EU versions, as the build number sequence seems to be totally different. Apparently the Sprint Hero shipped with the Sense UI performance enhancements that we now have in EU 2.73 builds, so it seems to me you're unlikely to gain anything anyway. In fact, you'll just lose stuff like the Sprint specific apps.

hey thers is a new system dump from sprint hero available here....can anyone tell me dat is dat possible for me to flash it on my phone...
http://www.androidspin.com/component/content/article/3-latest-news/169-new-sprint-hero-system-dump
It's almost certainly just a dump of your existing ROM. As the thread you posted suggests, it's for devs only and you shouldn't attempt to flash it.

Dave

didn't it just get released today? And yeah search is my friend.... Just didn't see a point to do another search from the one I did yesterday if this thread wasn't updated as I was assuming with the title it would be easier for us sprint users to see this thread is for the cdma version but alas my mistake
Hey all,
I have been reading around the forum and I know ENERGY's ROM is quite popular with the manila 2.5 like the HTC HD2. However I was wondering if there was any way to get the official HTC HD 2 ROM? The OEM version that came with the HD2 instead of one that someone made.
Sorry as I am still new to the WM community and not very familiar with ROMs and stuff like that.
Thanks!!
That energy ROM is based on Leo ROM...

I think he is asking for a much Stock-ish looking ROM.
I'd advise the OP to check out Ark's ROMs, as they tend to look very similar to stock ones. It's the one I'm currently using, and it's the most bug-free version of Manila 2.5 I've found to date. And it looks like a stock ROM.

Any idea where to download this ROM. Also does it support support arabic language?
Thanks for the replies!
Thanks NoWorthWhile, I'll definitely look into ark666's development.
ahmedraouf: You can find the rom hes talking about in the rhodium rom development section. Its developed by ark666
Cheers
Im talking about HD2 roms ...
I've seen new features in the cooked ROMs like "htc messaging client with securebox option" which is NOT included in the latest official hd2 ROM (TMO 2.13)
Im just wondering, where can i get all these latest packages? Im trying to cook my personal ROM and i want to use latest versions, but most of the packages from tmo 2.13 are already outdated, and i can see newer ones in the cooked ROMs.
Can anyone help me with finding them?
ask to the guy that has it...
I am very dissapointed ... either no one knows, or no one cares to share. I was expecting more from XDA.
anyway, thanks.
You can have all what you want here in XDA......what did you expect more than this?
Mybe what you are searching isnt from Leo,maybe isnt the latest TMOUS release.
If someone has a new package thats mean that you can have it too,just dont be lazy and search.
Thread closed.
Reason: Shipped rom collection is sticky, need only to dump some roms to find what you search.

Is there some port of Froyo and Sense on our Old-radio Magic?
I can see only versions for new radio...when can we see that for us old-radio-ed?When??
Just flash the new radio and get it over with
I'm also eagerly waiting for that. Simply switching to the new radio is not possible for everyone, e.g. I have constant dropouts with the NR which is really very anyoing... (and yes, I have tried all different radio versions, checked MD5, reflashed etc.)
I'm not sure, but maybe it could work if u flash 32b/dream sense rom + ported kernel like in CM based roms. I didn't try this so it's just a guess.

I don´t think it's a good idea... Probably the phone won't even boot. Usually sense rom's requires kernels related to the original HTC kernel.
i can hardly wait for a 2.2 rom with sense. i love the sense ui interface ! i don't want to use any kind of launchers. when will it come out ?

there is not be , because the rom senusUI required the system-partition is larger than 140m, but with the old version of the radio(3.22.xxxx) system-partition is limited 90m to supporting the old spl(1.33.xxxx) , so if you need use the old radio with sense, you must through the way the like MTD to make the size of system-partition is bigger for the job but pay attention to expand the system-partition is to reduce date-partition.
I'm sorry but where can I find a Froyo + Sense ROM?
