So first off Ive used the search Ive used google search and Ive read the wiki. Still unsure of the answer.
Whats the advantages to updating the radio? does it manage power better? get better reception? In my search Ive also seen updating to a trinity radio but not its rom? Can some one shed some ligh on this for me? cheers
Yes to all of the above.
Radio updates are generally "tweaks". Many are carrier-specific and add performance boosts specifically to a carrier.
In addition to todd:
Although some of the updates are carrier-specific you should try it in your own network because its possible that its working in your network much better than in mine.
So would the 1.40.30.00 be the best to have for cingular or does it depend on your location as well?

As compared to what other radio? 1.38? IMHO 1.40 was better than 1.38, but now I am trying to use 1.48 which was recently released... As mentioned, the area that you are in, will greatly influence your decision as to which is better... There is a chart somewhere on this forum, you can use the google search function in my signature below to locate it... The chart is supposed to be a compilation of the different roms and what people thought about them... Actually, it was an opinion poll... So you can take that with a grain of salt...
Maybe someone in your area has posted their results and you can try their answers...
I believe the poll was entitled, "Which Radio works best"
Oh, and BTW, I am using Cingy/AT&T...
For Cingy radio users, that poll is HERE You can also use the links at the bottom to go to the WIKI, view Radio ROM's and read through those threads for opinions and experiences

That's a stupid question.... "best" is too subjective, each person has their own opinion on what's "best".

Not talking about older feed backs only, I was trying to start a thread to benefit all of us with real and detailed technical data comparison in one place for ease and not to jump all over forms which can leads to confusion.

I’m sure my inquiry is a lot smarter than your trashy brain...beside this question was addressed to experts and beta testers not for dump aXX noooobs, since I was aiming as what of all and an up-to-date technical comparison between the best ROMs so far released...to make your search more convenient and time worthy..
cheers,
Maybe something like this in a timetable or Excel sheet:
ROM version
ROM build

ROM date
Based on
speed
screen sensitivity

bluetooth

Interesting answer..... I'm suprised you're small minded enough to think the amount of posts someone has made has any relevance to their knowledge in a particular area. The word "best" is frowned upon within many technical forums. The 'doom9' forums for example, which are wildly known to be the most vast, in-depth, and technical of the dvd forums around, has the word "best" banned. It's banned because it's useless. It's like saying what's the best film? what's the best car? what's the best music? We all have a different answer, far too subjective.
Next time, maybe you can get whoever looks after you to proof read you messages before you post.
Maybe it could be usefull to list all the features of the various rom with all the know bugs.
That would be usefull to me to choose my next ROM.
Bye
Plz avoid that kind of title. It seems taht in this post there is published the best Rom and the best Radio
Try something like "suggestions on..." or "whis is the..." (and this forum is aready full of that ****)

Y dont u start flashing all the ROMS 1 per day and report your results here, Mr Smart Brain? Do it yourself and u do it for three (old wise said)
As a VF user, my HD2 is still at 1.43 as the HTC site will not upgrade it until VF approve. I was wondering though if people have seen significant improvements in performance using new ROMs such as reception, speed, SMS, etc
Also, is it possible to upgade my phone through another site that will get around the VF restriction??
Thanks
First your asking in the wrong section of the forum, theres a whole ROMS section for that sort of question and second, have you used the search??? as this question has been asked before
I posted some thoughts for this sort of question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=605405
hope it helps.
Hello all. Firstly I would like to thank everyone for their great work on ROMs and applications for the HD2.
So, I have the HD2 obviously for about a month now, and I'm "stuck" with the default 1.42 ROM which actually makes the HD2 look like it has a 250MHz processor. It gets really slow from time to time.
I'm looking to flash it with a custom ROM, but I'm a bit puzzled, given the many ROMs that already exist.
I would like your opinion on this matter; Which ROM do you think is overall better, faster etc? I actually want less RAM footprint, I want Copilot and stuff like that removed, updated versions of the HTC apps etc.
I'm leaning towards the Artemis by Sternas, although I would appreciate some more experienced opinions.
Thanks in advance.
not again.....

What do you mean "not again"? Many similar topics?
Yes, I've read them, and by starting this topic it's obvious that I need some more info from those who want to share their knowledge.
From those who don't want to share their knowledge I didn't ask anything.
I'm NOT asking which is the best ROM. I'm asking which ROM do the most of you have at this time installed and which OVERALL suits the needs of a larger audience and not just the "cooks" needs.
usaully this threads end closed
Hi !
Should be a good idea to have a post where users comment their experience with different roms. I dont mean rating but more like user experience in therms of usability.
We've had this a thousand times. No, there will be no thread that asks for users' opinions on ROMs. Try them yourself.
The last thread like this got closed only a few hours ago...

I would disagree. Most users posting these kinds of questions are obviously too lazy to browse through each individual ROM's thread. I very much suspect that even if there was a central 'ROM experiences' thread they wouldn't bother to finish reading the first post.
Also, given how things have been around here recently, the thread would probably escalate into some sort of flamewar before it reaches page 2.
Anyway, if you're interested in a *very* rough indication of popularity:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534&daysprune=-1&order=desc&sort=views
It's the ROM forum, sorted by views. Artemis thread does pop up somewhere at the top, so might be a good starting point for you, dimitris_s. Only a starting point, mind - only you will be able to tell which ROM is best for you, so try a few.
I'm using "EnergyROM 23541/21892" and I'm looking for something better and faster !
I have to say it's pretty confusing and overwhelming when you arrive here. Couldn't answer this myself, there should be a poll thread like there are on Modaco to help newbies.
This again, why dont you start trying some to see what you like...they are all good
For cutting edge ROMs - look at Miri's or Dutty's HG ROMs
For super clean - look at CleanEx (new ROM but already looks like it could be a goodun)
This is all subjective to personal opinion and taste. Best advice is to read through some of the posts and try for yourself.

Definitely the ARTEMIS !!
So indeed this is where a poll would be useful, look at all those different answers!
I think rather than a 'what is best' it would be much better to have a comparison page where all the chefs could update with the important information and a link to their forum page - so for example it would have a table with the chef name, driver version, manila version, rom version etc... and perhaps a few key points such as applications added/removed from stock ROM...
A first point of call so you can quickly see who has released a new ROM, and see its details
What this should NOT include is any star rating/number of downloads etc...
This is an easy question to answer, I think!
For any user unwilling to do a bit of research and learn about differences between ROM's, the best ROM is obviously the one they already have!

the hd2 can't have any preferences, you on the other hand might have some.
thus, the question becomes 'which of the roms might be the best for me?'
so the solution my friend, lies entirely in your hands
happy flashing mate
this will be closed v soon. i have seen many threads on this topic they all closed. so u have to try ur self and find what is the best. tast r difarent. for me Dutty's HG
Thats like asking
"What is the best console" or even "What is the best programming language".
Simply put, it comes down to personal opinion, while one person might rate a rom good for its long battery life, another person rates the rom bad because it didnt come with his favorite video player installed (just examples, i know battery life is more related to radio, and you can install apps on all roms)
You could however ask people to write reviews, but theres already a site for that http://xdaroms.com/ and i gotta admit thats not very actively updated/reviewed.
Personally, im always very pleased with Artemis roms, if your looking for the ram or cpu trick, forget i mentioned it, but if your looking for speed and stability alongside the latest wm and manila, check out the thread (read peoples replys a bit/read changelog/look at screens to get an idea of the rom)
The first time it can be a little scary to flash your phone, but after a while you will get the hang of it, its really not that hard or dangerous, just read the thread about flashing.
As long as you read the (help & specific rom) threads, it'll be just fine
I agree... If like me, you need a ROM which allows for Chinese Input, you become more limited in your options... so it really depends on what you need....
I am a bit surprised to see a request like "searching a faster and better ROM".
You should ask different questions, eg. I need this and that in a ROM, which
ones come with it? Even better, do a search yourself!
Dozens of ROMs are available. All of them are fast, all of them are good.
Hundreds of different answers are possible.
If you feel that your device is slow with the ROM you are using, there could be other reasons:
- bad flash
- defective device
I just tell this because after having flashed something like 50 different ROMs over the past three months, not any single one of them made my HD2 slow.
can anybody tell me,or does any body have on opinion on the best radio rom for the tmobile hd2?....like best as in fastest speeds....fewest dropped calls and stuff like that?...thank u my fellow collegues..
You can search all day. There is no "best".
There are subjective opinions at best and really little in hard facts or evidence when referencing actual frequency ranges Tmo uses where.
So your search will provide you some small cross section of subjective testimony lacking really any factual objective evidence.
Your search will have to include some logical inference and luck to perhaps hope you correlate what you find with someone who lives near you.
Otherwise you'll have to experiment on your own from the safe radio roms to use and determine with your own parameters.
Thread moved to General.
As per your question, people normally have different results with different radios based on where they are located. It is hit or miss, but in my experience, the latest ones are usually the way to go.
