plz i tried some roms here for wm6.5 but i dont know i feel its a load on my phone and heavy software so plz anyone help me to choose the best rom that help me and not to be so heavy on my phone and also i dont know what GPS program to use and where i can find the GPS programs pls am new user for hd and dont know anything so plz help me
hey no body can help me!!!!!!!! is it no blackstone user in this forum!!!!!!!!
Yes, 2.5 is a little heavy as you say on the HD but I find Xannytech 1.7 to make the most use out of the HD's abilities at the moment. The truth is, you should try a couple of Roms out to see if you like it.
GPS options? Well there are many:
IGO,TomTom, Garmin, just to name a few. None of these are free.
Hope this helped!
Xnor v1.3 is the most stable of his rom. I've tried other roms and kept coming back to this rom. Close to stock rom too.
I'm using Ndrive and iGo amigo
The reality is only you can choose. I'll tell you one rom and the next person will tell you another, and we'll both swear that these are the best and fastest and most stable etc, all of which makes you no closer to a decision.
The best advice is to read the threads for the various roms and see what the users are saying about it, from there you'll see if there are major bugs with the rom. Also look at screenshots and see if you like the rom version (ie bottom buttons vs top buttons). Make your shortlist and try a few out. What one person likes may not be to your liking.
Whatever you choose, be sure to read this thread before going with any cooked rom.

Greetings all, I am sending this message out to find out if there are any decent ROMs out there for my phone! I have flashed once so far, find the ROM is way to bulky and wish to find a smaller ROM! Telus of course!
current version info:
ROM Version: 3.07.661.1
Radio Version: 3.41.00
Hardware Version: 0001
Protocol Version: DCAAXOM-4350H
PRI Version: 2.05.010
I am using the Omnia Sidebar for my home screen (flawlessly intergrated) And I have also overclocked my device to 624mhz (again, flawless) If someone can help me out, it would be much appreciated!
If anymore info is needed, let me know what you need!
P.S. Kudos to ALL the guys and girls here at XDA! You guys kick a$$
Any replies, including mine are going to be a matter of opinion.
I personaly like NFSFAN's custom ROMs. Then again, they're remarkably similiar to how I was setting up my device prior to flashing to his. I originaly had the stock Bell 1.09.666.10, 3.42.50 radio, M2d customized to my liking, opera customized, and several other programs. Having all these things cooked into a ROM runs much faster than building them up after the fact.
You mentioned the omnia sidebar, this is not possible with M2D. Personaly I like M2D better as I scroll it one handed with my thumb. Having a slide on the side of the screen would not be my personal preference.
There are other options:
Stock WM6.1, customized with various widgets (kinda like yours!!)
M2D (also known as touchflo)
Throttlelaunch
Wisebar advance
Point UI
SbP mobile shell
Mobility flow
Music Flo
and many others you'll find on this site. It comes down to what features you want, what you use your phone for, and what you think looks the coolest!
For my opinion, read up on upgrading your radio to Bell 3.42.50 then flash NFSFAN's custom ROM.
The omnia Sidebar is fully funtional, however, I did not mention anything about about M2D! Don't get me wrong, its a nice interface, but, it has some what of a lack-luster for me! The Omnia Sidebar is a lot more pleasing to the eye and completely customizable as to where you can place the widgets! As for upgrading to a bell ROM, unfortunatly, I and a few friends (with Telus) have tried this, and we bricked our phones! With Telus devices the ROM has to be carrier specific or no carrier at all, there is no gray area! I do thank you for the advice and more is always appreciated
1. What I meant by "no m2d with omnia sidebar" was most custom ROMs nowadays use M2d.
2. I also didn't mean upgrade to the Bell ROM, just the Bell Radio. You do this by not letting the customizations run. Then NFSFAN has a custom Telus ROM that you would let the customizations run on.
You will find generic ROMS (non-carrier specific) that offer "clean" versions of wm6.1. You then need to set your carrier cab manually. There is one such ROM found here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=30332i
With google you should be able to find more.
P.S. I do know some peopl at work on Telus ROMs with the Bell radio. GPS is faster locking etc. You shouldn't brick a phone with a bad flash.
If you can but it into bootloader mode (tricolour screen), (hold the camera and power button down, then press the soft reset button). It isn't bricked, just waiting for a ROM.
Best of luck on your search, hope you can pimp your phone to your liking.

Well, I finally found a ROM that suits my needs. Its small and clean, and yes, its a M2D ROM. I now have the chance to add in what ever apps I want and still use minimal resources of my device!
The rest of my knowledge is going to be put to good use here. I hope I can help to the best of my ability with the rest of the guys and girls here at XDA!

Good to hear you found a suitable ROM, while you might currently have switched to M2D, the great thing about our phones is the ability to switch back and forth. Can't do that with an iphone! Have fun with it, hope we can all help each other out, that's what a community is for!
Jason
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction! Cheers mate
Hey im sorry to bug the chefs and other members with this question, but i have found a rom that i really like. Only problem is that its for the Verizon Whitestone. It has the cool blue slider, the stock black and white tf3d icons, but it has the my location and weather clock, and it also uses the manila start menu instead of the joke that wm 6.5 uses. I am currently using josh's perfect black v 1.7 and it works great, but i want something a little faster and more stable... if someone knows how to get a rom to do all these things or can cook one like this then that would be amazing =]
Again, i am sorry for bugging ya'll, but i just want a little help =]
Most ROM's have screenshots in the thread. This will probably be closed soon.
Just check out the ROM Threads to get what you need
thats the problem... i check them almost everyday and there is nothing here that is like it =[
You'll just have to keep looking, or ask a chef if they would make a ROM with your preferences. Failing that, get a kitchen and give it a go
Or try and find CABs to change another ROM to match, I think most colours can be changed with CABs, and I'm pretty sure the start menu can too.
Moving to "Themes" sub forum.
Thanks =]
thanks that helps alot... if u dont mind me asking for a huge favor, i honestly dont know where to find a cab to change the slider or the icons for sense ui
You can also search the Topaz or Blackstone themes section. They almost share the same customizations..
My suggestion for a ROM would be deepshining by dotcompt..nice looking ROM and fairly stable... as far as the custom sliders give http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611441 these a look through

Cell Evo Roms are all GSM sim roms rite...i like Energy Rom 2...which rom do u think is really great for battery life for u...i meant 2.5 roms...n for ringtone i use to use Htc mp3 rip software 2...i got a cool funny ringtone u might like..

Just a thought but maybe you might want to change the title of your thread. Judging by the questions you asked, you're not asking what is the best "ROM" available. You want opinions. Opinions on thinks that do not pertain to the ROM itself.
Well in my opinion I believe McCune's Cosmik Debris is the fastest ROM out there. After a clean flash, the screen rotates in like less than a second lol and EVERYTHING on it works fine.
It's super clean and if you want sense 2.1 or 2.5 there's cabs out there that install it onto your phone and you can then install the cookie home tab or what have you.
That's just my 2 cents though ;p.
mrx roms are good

He is asking for a CDMA ROM. Not a GSM ROM.
Well guys, after a couple weeks with the stock TMOBILE rom I conclude that it's just USELESS.
I can't even use the phone... It's getting stuck when I'm trying to call someone, stuck when viewing images, stuck stuck stuck, at least 5 times a day.
Plus a million SOD's a day... I tried everything, from losing all apps, to modifying the registry.
I NEED A NEW ROM
But there are so many over there, I do not know what to choose.
I need:
1. As little visual tweaks as possible, i'd like to take care of that myself (CHT Cooked in is fine though)
2. Maximum system stability and performance, I DON'T WANT HANGS FROM SIMPLE OPERATIONS SUCH AS CALLING SOMEONE
3. No bloatware
4. Not much bugs (ie good support, constantly worked on, not a 1 time "job" )
Basically If it can resemble the stock one, but with more stability, tweaks and performance boosts, then i'm happy.
I have the sticky flashing manual in hand, so all I need is a recommendation.
Looking forward to flashing this thing today, thank you very much XDA.
Energy ROM Cookie's Reference ROM
this is a custom rom close to stock as you're going to get, please make sure you read loads before flashing.

Or the standard sense reference or full. I recommend using the 23569 builds as well. more finger friendly and slightly quicker. Also there is an advantage with the full version in that if you wish to update the rom in future you can backup your settings using the energy settings exporter and then reimport them.
regarding the builds mentioned - can you expand ? links ?
thanks !
Exporter sounds GREAT.
Basically there are two builds of almost all the custom roms. One build will be the latest 6.5 build (21907, same WM version as the stock roms but with some bug fixes) then there is the 23569 (or higher) builds. These are WM 6.5.5. Some big changes here to the way the start menu works and also to the UI to make it more finger friendly. It's also a little quicker than WM 6.5 but (apparently. i've not found any yet) more buggy then WM 6.5. Also as i said (and i've now checked this) custom roms also include newer, less buggy, versions of sense (AKA manilla)
I suggest EnergyROM
Great, I think I will go for Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Reference.Jun.26.7z
Is that OK for me ? (well, is it better than what i have now )
Is there a settings exporter in Energy.Leo.21907 ?
If you have the T-Mobile US HD2, make sure you use the right radio for your device.
That would do nicely although i don't know if it includes the exporter tool. You may want to look at the full cht version.
Good point about the radio. I have a UK version so i can use whatever i want. The right radio roms for the TMOUS devices have verison numbers that look like this: 2.xx.50.xx. the 50 bit is important as radios with the 50 in it have the unlock code for the extra ram in them and are compatible with the 1024MB rom chips. Also never ever use a radio with a version number like this: 2.xx.51.xx. The 51 radios will brick your phone and they can not be recovered as far as i am aware.
And yes afaik there is a setting exporter in the WM 6.5 builds
My radio is 2.10.50.26
Is that OK ?
Just how much faster is the 6.5.5 over the regular one ? I'm not liking that lower start button anyway so if it's not really faster i'll pass.
Looks kinda like an iPhone.. Less " serious "
m3ph - what ROM have you had in mind with the Exporter build in and the upper start button and CHT ?
I thank you for all the help... I am feeling positive about my HD2 again.. Can't wait to flash it !
Just making sure I get everything right about all the different Energies so I don't reflash and reflash a thousand times... Making a concious decision

the radio will be fine.
The difference in speed is not massive so i wouldn't worry about it.
The rom i'm thinking of will be at this link: http://hotfile.com/dl/50755734/bde591c/Energy.Leo.21907.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.26.Take2.7z.html
Sorry if i'm being a little slow. i'm trying to eat my din, while texting the mrs, getting nfs world beta to work and figure out why sense will not show around 3500 of my messages and thinks my sister is my best mate
Deal, I will burn that ROM then, in the 21907 version and settle down.
Does it have the exporter for future upgrades ?
Looks like i'm fixed then ! Thanks ! What version is the faulty Sense that thinks your sister is your best mate ? hahah
Sorry to hear that... my stock ROM still works fine... I did not even update it yet - this one was right from the get-go
Well, I'm on Energy CHT now and IT'S A DIFFERENT PHONE !
WOW.
Thanks guys. You saved my phone and my money !
Now install chainfires 3D driver patch v2 on it and leocpuspeed v4 you'll be shocked.
Wooo Hoo ! This phone is ON FIRE now
Now we're talking !!
Thanks man ! Any more tips ? hehe
What a coincidence. I'm also having lots of problems with my TMobile UK Rom, same freezing, etc.
I have seen quite a few Roms that I'd be interested, but most of them don't mention whether they will work with a locked T-Mobile handset, and if they do, it only refers to TMobile US version.
Will any Rom work on a T-Mobile UK locked handset, or would I also have to flash a new radio. I have 2.07.50 at the moment.
Like I said, I've seen quite a few Roms that I like, but just concerned in case I flash a Rom that's not compatible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

if you have a wifi router in your house get wifi remote access. It allows you to transfer files to and from the phone using a web interface over the wifi. It also allows you to edit the registry "remotely". Really handy little tool that.
Also have a look at omarket. some handy tools can be got from there but be careful not everything is Leo compatible.
Coreplayer is handy if you wanna watch tv shows or movies. just set the video mode to raw frambuffer if the picture looks scrambled. This one isn't free but is definitely worth paying for coz tcpmp (it's free cousin) isn't as good. I also use srs WOWHD with this to improve the sound. look for 1.5 V2.
The only more i can say is use a PIM backup tool regularly. something like MS myphone or PIMBackup. Saves some time if you don't have an exchange server to store you contacts, mail etc

My advice to you would be to stick to a rom that says it is tmous compatible. that way it will work on any leo but the phone will still be sim locked. so if you wanted to sim unlock it you would need to get an unlock code from TMOUK
