Hiya. I'm a newbie using X01HT.
My device come with a CHT version ROM, but i don't like it too much.
I am finding out a better rom to use(WWE version).
I don't mind the ROM is official or custom.
Does anyone can suggest a rom which is smooth to use, less hang, and
more space was allowed to use?
Thankyou for your suggestion.
Read the wiki and all the threads concerning WM6 Roms. All those Roms are more or less fast and stable, no one can tell you which one is the best for you. I tried all of them, currently I'm running Elfs V2.1 but I think I will go back to Custels V2.0. At least you should give 3 or 4 different Roms a try to find the one which is perfect for you.
But BEFORE you upgrade read MrVanx upgrade guides carefully and follow it step by step.

guys am confused , what's the best and latest ROM to download, i've read threads but there seems to be some argue about patched ROMs and old ones...etc
so in brief which ROM is best to download?
regards,
try em all
Well theres really only two new roms. Xplodes and pdaviets. I have not tried xplodes newest rom, but i have tried his older roms and his work is of the highest quality. I am sure it is as good, if not better than pdaviets.
That being said, I have tried pdaviets and currently using pdaviets(because the build number looks newer) and i can say from experience that is very fast and very stable. Much stable than helmis wm6 rom and much faster. Multitasking with this rom is a breeze.
Id would try them all.
Hello @ll.
I just arrived this Forum and I'm reading all the time that you changed your roms. My question is now why should i change my rom? Will my phone work faster and more comfortable? I have the HTC TouchHD.
Thank you and bye bye from Germany

This is a question that has been asked many times before in other threads. All you need to do is search.
However I'll answer your query this time.
Most people change there rom as they are not happy with the original roms userability, speed, etc and are curious at trying out other roms to see if this has improved as well due to their looks, additional apps, tweaks etc.
Also you cannot get wm6.5 without flashing to a cooked rom, and generally wm6.5 is more finger friendly.
If you read first few posts of each rom thread you will see what is on offer in each particular rom, and with latest roms, this should be significently different to your stock rom. Manila will also have changed as stock roms are generally using manila 1.3 or less while my current rom uses manila 2.1 which is greatly improved as it also has the additonal benefit of being landscape compatible.
Best advice would be to ask yourself what are you looking for on your current phone, and then ask, can my phone do this now. If not, search elsewhere to see if this can be done on another rom, then read flashing guide and flash to that particular rom.
I have had my HD2 for a month now. Been running the stock 1.48 ROM with all the tweaks and fixes from XDA. Everything works great. The newer 1.66 ROM has just been released in my country (I'm in South Africa, things are a bit behind here), and i was thinking of either flashing the stock or a custom ROM.
I've read on these forums from a fair number of people who claim that cooked ROMS are inherently unstable and suffer from random freezes.
Is there any truth to this. I was running Sakajati's Hyperdragon ROMS on my old Kasier, and they were 100% stable.
Or is the instability a result of multiple ROM flashes without using the MTTY process?
Thanks for your help.
I'd say run the stock 1.66 ROM and see how you get on, it might be fine with a few tweaks. After that, look into custom ROMs if you feel you need one
Hi Eddy.
Thanks for the reply.
I'll give the stock 1.66 a go.
was thinking of changing the original rom
which custom rom should i go for need advice

it really depends on your needs and deires... the only thing you can do is look through the various ROMs and then choose one that suits you or that you like... if its not what you want then change it...
I have been looking at a lot of ROMS, have not tried any yet.
I think i will probably go with Laurentius Ultimate power. I like the fact that his ROM includes a Radio, and he also does a lot of beta testing before releasing a ROM.
I've just flashed stock 1.66, will try that for a while. Then go the cooked route.
Duttys HG series are very good, using it at the moment (WinMo 6.5-style as I hate the new new buttons) - link is in my sig for those interested
from my personal experience i can tell you the best custom roms are faster, more stable and also have extra features that make them more fun compared to stock. but for this to happen you need to be careful with your flashing method.there is an excellent thread in the 1st page of the ROM development forum which i recommend you study thoroughly before attempting your first custom flash. also, remember to always flash a stock ROM in between 2 customs (or use mtty) and always hard reset the phone after the 1st boot. roms are also radio sensitive so you might also have to flash different radios to obtain the best combination. perhaps it sounds a little complicated but it's not really and definetely worth to try.
cheers mate and have fun!
deleted double post
If u r looking for stable rom, try 6.5 rom, not 6.5.x.
6.5.x roms is more finger friendly but contain more bugs than 6.5
Try Miri's rom or Xanny's rom. I used both and satisfied with both
Hi Antaed.
Thanks for reply. I've read all the HSPL and flashing posts. Not too worried about the process.
I agree with what you say, on my tytnII, custom ROM was much faster.
Good to hear you're not have stability problems with the custom ROMS for HD2

glad to help mate. i'm not a flash addict (just yet ) so i tried only roms from the notorious chefs - dutty, laurentius, xannytech, energy, etc. i wasn't disappointed by any of them, all are very good but each is different in its own way. my favorite is artemis (from sternas) because i find it closest to my needs - leo only packages, close to stock, essential addons and of course great, great performance. i recommend you try a few yourself so you can decide which is best for you.
Hey guys,
New to the forum
I've had my HTC HD2 for about 2-3 months now, and recently its been running really slow and crashing all the time.
Now I was wondering, would it be wise for me to upgrade to the latest ROM, or Android?
Thank's in advance.

welcome. you can have both - new rom and android. i would do that!
The HD2 is an awesome phone, you honestly won't find much better stuff out there.
Don't run the stock winmo rom, it's crap. Flash a custom rom and install android, which imo is much better. Soon we will have a nand version of android on our phones making it just as quick in android as native android phones.
Thank you for the replies guys.
Now off to find tutorials lol
Any recommendations?
lots of reading!!!!
Start with updating your info so we know where you are located and what carrier you have.
There are 3 versions of the hd2.
Euro version
Aussie version
T-mobile usa version
I would read here for a tutorial on flashing custom ROMs for the t-mobile hd2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
For all others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
To flash a custom ROM you need to hspl unlock your phone.
go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
This will unlock all versions of the hd2.
For Android, the best 2 radios are usually 2.10 and 2.12 found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
These radios will work on all phones and are usually good radios for all ROMs. You need a .50 radio to flash most of the custom ROMs not to mention to run Android so might as well install one of these.
Next go here and pick out a ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
Most ROMs are compatible with all phones. Make sure if you have a tmous phone, not to flash any radio that has .51 in it. To run android you need .50 radios anyways.
I would suggest these ROMs as good ROMs to run android from:

and then finally, the Android builds that run from your SD card are here:

I have personally only used this Android ROM as I have found Android to be too much like IOS and only really find the web browser to be better than WinMo:

I really think that you should start with a custom ROM, get to know it, get to know about flashing before jumping into Android, but hey, it's your phone. How many other phones can dual boot?
Alternatively, you can flash the latest Stock ROM from HTCs website.
The stock ROM isn't necessarily crap, its usually down to opinion.
I use an O2 stock ROM, and have no performance issues.

I agree on the fact that the Stock Hd2 ROM isn't crap at all: if anything its the perfect one for me (so far)
I've tried the energy rom, the mirri rom, basic wm rom and all of them didn't do it for me looks wise.
All I really want is the basic 9 apps (iPhone style that I am used to) as my homescreen so I really don't need a ROM outside of wanting to find one with even better battery life. The Hd2's battery life has been great so far for me but is there a rom out there that is even better?
nrfitchett4,thanks thats really helpful
Hello,
I want to ask which one WM6.5 Rom most stabil & best ?
Because i want to upgrade from WM6.1 to WM6.5
How to make 2 OS (operating system) in my PDA.
I want to use WM6.5 & Android?
How to install use 2 OS.
There is no best ROM. If you ask 5 people, you get 5 different answers.
If you don't understand the basic tasks needed, you better leave flashing to someone else...
The only way for you: READ THE STICKY POSTS and the FAQs in the WIKI.
There is a specific reason they were written: Noobs like you.
Mods: Please lock this noob/nonsense thread
This one!
I have used different ROM's. I have used Dutty's, Miri's, Energy ROMS. Both WM 6.5 builds 21..., 23..., 28...
But I wanted speed and much memory left.
So the ROM I am using now, as you can see in my signature, is the best for me.
After a soft reset, there is 150 MB RAM memory. With Energy ROM 23... I only had 70 MB RAM.
The battery goes for days and I am a heavy user.
This is a very clean ROM without Manila, so you have to install everything yourself.
Glad to be of help...
in the touch hd rom development section you will find a variety of roms by different chefs and every one of those tries to make a rom, that is fast and stable and most of all, to their taste of style and features. rom threads are marked as [ROM| or [RELEASE| and for most, you will find the release date, rom language and version and manila version in the thread's title, which will give you a brief idea, which roms are not for you, e.g. if you want an english rom, ignore the NLD and PTG roms. and have a look at the screenshots in the threads to find one style, you could live with every day. there is no point in flashing a rom that is fast, stable and has a lot of features, when it is hideous and you can't stand looking at it.
in the end you will find maybe 3 roms, you like and you can simply give them a try. remember to back up your pim data, with pimbackup or outlook or ms myphone, because flashing requires a hard reset and you will lose all information stored on the phone. and a word of advice:
you will not find a rom that is as fast or even faster than the stock rom, they are all slow, but they give you more features and more eye candy, which kinda makes it worth a try.
by the way, i am using cloudy's v0.6 wm6.1 with sense 2.5, with a good sense version, the wm behind it does not really matter.
for instructions on how to flash a rom, have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
for android as a 2nd OS, have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732362
i also recommended cloudy rom, flash the latest version since it release till now, few week past, never hang even on heavy use.
Think this thread has been kept open long enough. Everyone has different tastes, like & dislikes so the perfect rom does not exist. You've been given a few pointers above
