right guys,iv had my hd2 for a few months now and feel the time is right for a change.im going to flash my phone today but im not sure which rom to use.id quiet like the one that has a few more shortcut icons but id like to keep the weather animations in.what rom would you suggest i go for..?.
cheers....
Sorry mate,
in this question, you are alone. You must choose ROM yourself.
In every other question you get lot of answers from many members, and we will be glad to help you.
Maybe you can start with ROMs and cookers with many posts......
They are close to stock ROMs, but faster,smoother and general better.
You will find your way.
Cheers
Sorry for my English.
It's a personal choice really, they are all great roms
I have not used all the cooked roms but I can give you my opinion on the ones I used
my first cooked was from kwbr .. it was really good, but it hanged once in a while..
my 2nd rom was from laurentius26.. at the time the version was much more stable but it lacked a few of the goodies I had with kwbr's.. it also had a problem with right to left language support
kwbr stopped cooking and forwarded his fans to sternas.. I started trying his roms which were extremely up to date... his was good on right to left spacing and was pretty stable but not as fast as laurentius26's
ever since I have been changing from versions of one of these 2 great cooks to the others in order to find the one that does it for me... I currently use Artemis 4.0 (by sternas) ... my next rom will either be his version 6.0 or laurentius26's 3.0.. either is great really.
kwbr is also cooking again but he has been off the forums for a while and I am currently loyal to these 2 as they have spent more time on their masterpieces ... as for shortcuts, it is an easy tweak which you can add to any rom.
hope it helps
cheers
this question has been asked like 999999999times now...
the answer is VERY SIMPLE, the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder.
they are all very good and the choice is personal rather then witch one is the best.
If you don't like to make a choice yourself I can make this choice for you.
Go with smaberg's rom!
I'm alternating maesus / smaberg and currently waiting for maesus 1.8 to be released.
ps, please don't ask why!
here is the story,i have been working on a windows mobile ROM for few days and still i have no idea if any one is really interested to look to other Roms for his phone other than the original,i dont release any screenshots yet,still working on homepage,but all i can say is:
i have held onto lightness of the rom as much as possible
i dont run tweaks on my Roms
style of the ROM is totally new and never been out and its suitable for all microsoft windows users.
after being a programmer of .NET application for near 6 years ever since i was only 14,and before that i was joint the basic game development group,i can say i got some experiences in XNA game development framework and Compact .NET framework,so in everyrom i provide some applications including the updates (which are written by me,applications and updates both togather),for example now im working on a vista style calculator, Folder-explorer and applications like that,and i believe such things are impossible in some way for windows phone 7 due to its limitations.
so generally my questions is that : any of you are interested to see this rom?in next 48 hours i might be complete with designing process and then if you guys confirmed and liked it,i could start programming some non-WM style applications,applications with totally new visuals and ideas,
thanx
with respect to all ROM cookers on this forum

Definitely we all would love to see your work and be a part of it, so feel free to share your work and we all appreciate you for that.
i would love to see your work!
sounds very interesting!
3 Days ...
This ROM will take about 72 hours,
Currently, Im working on upgrading the base for using the latest packages, and Arman is Focusing on development of additional frameworks which will be included inside the rom
The good news is that the framework will be shared with developers who are interested in using it in their apps)
When the build is ready, we will close this thread & start a new one. until that time, all your Ideas and comments are welcome.

+ 1, your welcome . so i can say for my experience, there are alot fo peopple that would like to see a complete and original stock rom just with manila upgrade or a complete original stock rom without sense (NO SENSE), There are already so many apps ,modification, tweaks cabs and more to customize a stock rom, PERSONALLY I LIKE 6.5 ROMS MOST
Nice to see that some new chiefs are working on HD2 here!
I will follow your future roms and try them!
If you both have also aknowledge of the base technics of the rom, DLL's and so on, there is a group of people liking very much to use a good incall-recorder!
For now ( I think depending of audio-routing and decoding-GSM ) with every working software just your own voice is recorded; the voice of the one that you are calling with is just recorded by the microphone that picks of the soft sound of the speaker of the phone.
If you guys got the skills to look into this ( othersnapdragon devices as the acer can do 2way-recording!) and solve it you are gonna get lots of fans!
Good luck cooking and developing!

We will work on both 6.5 and 6.5.5 roms. I too prefer the 6.5 roms as they are lighter and more professional. but we will work on both editions, offering different versions (including lite, -with & without sense).
I appreciate your suggestion sir, thanks for sharing your experience

I will inform arman about this, so he can work on this issue
We would like a beta-tester team who can help us to make a stable ROM. if anyone is interested, please let us know.

Thanks for your response,just as an update ;
im now designing mostly .NET framework side of the ROM,for those of you who dont know what .NET framework is ,in very very simple means,its a set of components provided as default ,components can be like : listbox,buttons,textbox and so on ... or even DLLs(class libraries),
i got time this evening to settle all the proper tools for development ,we are still experiening,note that the first series of rom are classified ,just like Windows family classification .
we will be having:
- Business edition : light,fast,browser integrated,office tools and all tools related to the same field of this kind
- Basic : for those of you who wants it real simple,no additional set of tools or frameworks,and basically want the highest level of battery life.
- ultimate: last but not least,including all extras we have developed,from small utilities to huge ones,and both useful and developed based upon your ideas ,this edition will be including all the packages,this is for those who want it real featured!
note that the design is quite stable,we are not aiming to provide differently designed homepages,but instead one universal start page , and the difference is in their features,the difference will be really obvious.
---------------------------------
How will be the future of this ROM?
basically you just download a single file extract it,and run it,setup runs,firstly asks you for the edition of your choice and basically prepares the flash-program for you to directly flash the phone and get the rom to work
--------------------------------
only that our first rom is comming in a very simple shape,just a demonstration and when we are done with styles ,we will head straightly to functionality
--------------------------------
all i can say is that i am trying my best to keep your battery lifes at the maximum level by not running extra processes,but still implementing alot of features .
--------------------------------
AND we are not copying anyone's work in this forum and XDA or any other developer's work,we started a clean copy
Just :

just as a note : beta-testers do not risk their phones,we do not push applications incomplete into the platform,beta-testers are those who could leave us direct comments and ideas about the current style of the applications,the ROM in each beta ,is totally Stable and this is promised by me
ok, before you give me a hard time, this is not another "what is the best rom" thread. i am new to this section of the forum but from all my helping posts i know what people don't like to read
i have come to realize that there are many active chefs here and even more different roms with different features. yet i cannot test all the roms, so i'm asking you, the people who are already using those roms, whether they meet the features that i need.
i am looking for a rom based on wm6.1 (for speed), with sense 2.1 (for speed, also i like it better, at least, when it's colourful, unlike the black shipped version :X).
i don't need many built-in programs, but if i had to pick, i'd have opera mobile 10 or 9.7, opera mini 5, google maps, marketplace and myphone.
i am currently using cloudy's C2 2.3 and really like the HTC Messaging Client, but the overall speed and performance unfortunately is not great, because it just looks too damn nice.
so, most of you probably know more about the chefs and the roms, because they have been here for more than a week, could you recommend a rom, that meets my taste? all i seem to find, are sense 2.5 roms, and there are not many wm6.1 roms either, but in my opinion, the faster manila runs, the less i need the OS behind it, so if manila works perfect, i wouldn't mind sporting it on wm2003
try Blacknew V
wm6.1 & manila 2.5 ....
fastest rom for HD
and htc message with bubble...( cool...)
thanks i will have a look into it.
Hello to all...
I'm working some months by now, in a mobile games developing company (for both iOS & Android).
So, I had to own both OS' devices, to testing my work of our games (in the devices); I bought a used iPhone 4 16GB and now I need to buy an Android one. I've checked and a nice 'n cheap Android's choice is about $150 or so.
Well, I thought to use my former device, a TMobile USA HD2, to port a NAND Android rom.
The problem is, I stopped dealing with my ex-HD2 since I had ported the "Energy" WM6.5...
So, I don't know what's the process to port a NAND Android rom - I mean a modern one, a new build.
Also, I need a suggestion for such a rom; I want a very stable & fast one, "all-in" rom. I don't want to deal with the Android, I won't start searching for apps and such - just I need a fast/stable/"completed" Android device, to install our games there and checking my work.
Kind regards to everyone who likes to help me on this issue.
Hello and welcome,
First, please use a descriptive title
The HD2 is quite an old device, so if you are to build heavy games, don't expect them to run on the HD2, or at least run well.
As for the ROMs, almost all the roms on the first page (ICS) are fully working, just make sure to double check the first few posts to know what's going on. And you can find how-tos almost everywhere, a quick search on google/youtube will help you.
Good luck in everything .
Thxs for your answer.
M8, I'm working on CASINO's games. Therefore, are not so "heavy".

If you want a complete rom try Tytung NexusHD2 Ics 4.0.4 rom.
It is the best rom you will get for tmous hd2.
I am using the same rom and very happy with it. :good:
I did, thxs - but not the "HD", the "ice-cream" of him.
The other one is more "new", maybe more slow for the "good-old" HD2.
