The OEM ROM that came preinstalled on my HD2!!
I've had no issues with it so far. Very happy with my device.
I don't think this poll is representative without having the stock rom as an option on it.
If you are not keen on the stock rom then you should change your post title to read "What Cooked Rom Do You Use".
WB
I use the original rom!
I agree. I'm also on the stock ROM.
Nice poll, maybe it could help me choose which cooked rom i should flash
I agree - the stock rom should be included as most people are still happy with it.
And I'm using the stock rom. Although I am tempted.....
I use the Stock Rom!
More than good enough for my needs no performance issues and none of the 'cooked' roms offer anything significant for my needs.
First theres a ROM section of the forum
Second there's no option for Stock, which is what I'm sticking too
I'm new to the flashing ROM scene, all my previous phones being Nokia. So this might seem like a n00b question, but is there a post that compares between these ROMs? I'd like to go through the strengths of different ROMs before I flash.

You're in the right post, look on message #6, which will inform you about Windows version (6.5/6.5.3), Sense version and ROM (& drivers) version. It's a beginning which will help you to choose a ROM.
You have to choose a WinMo version. There's two choices : Windows Mobile 6.5 or Windows Mobile 6.5.3.x
You have to choose an HTC (Sense & drivers) version : stock version (1.48), 1.61 or 2.02.
Next, choose you ROM considering to this items. I can help you for your choice, giving you a ROM list, if you give me your choices (1-2).
the poll is lol. no option for stock rom an no option for "my rom" (literally).
Xannytech?
I personally think that stock roms should be considered - at this stage many prefer 1.61 over the cooked ones. this is looking like a disguised 'which is best' thread
Yeah - I agree. I'm still on a stock ROM and won't be changing any time soon. We need an option on this poll for that.

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

Hi there,
With all the roms available, I can tell you that i'm way too confused as to what I should be installing on my Hd2. I've read in these forums that some people are having issues using modified roms with their Virgin media hd2 handset. I'm trying to find out what other Virgin media users are installing on their hd2's without suffering from such incompatibilities. Please recommend a rom that would be suitable to use with my installed Radio. Or recommend a rom and radio combination that would work flawlessly, going on the info below..
Ideally, the Rom will be feature packed, and have the latest software installed for social networking, browsing flash websites, playing games and listening to music.
I'm using 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE, rom date - 11/08/09.
Radio - 2.05.51.05_2
I am new to this site, and ppc's, so please be gentle.. lol..
Thanks for any advice.
I dunno exactly WHAT is the most important thing to you...
as you can see in my sig I love XannyTech's ROMs...
eye candy, speed, stability, latest packages, a lot of tweaks pre-installed...for me thats the best rom out of the box right now.
But maybe you are not looking for a "finished" product but rather a stock rom where you can select, pick and choose your stuff, tweaks and mods...IMO these roms are more for advanced users that know what to do with it. Miri and Dutty for example have roms that are close to stock but with updates packages and speed enhancements...
if you have no idea, I would roll with XannyTech because you can use the rom without any changes and its awesome.
BUT you need to update your radio ROM first. There is a link in the thread of which radio you need and then check the stickies to see how to flash...
its VERY easy when you have done it already but if not...you should be careful.

Cheers for the advice. I'll take a look into XanntTech's Roms.
^there are 2 available...
if you choose the pandora series...thats windows mobile 6.5
fast, stable but not very flashy...
evolution looks much nicer and has windows mobile 6.5.5 which looks much nicer...but sense is not completely optimized for this...so there are some graphical glitches and misalignments.
Overall tho most people take Evolution
Hi, I am with VM Mobile too, I have so far had various roms but the most stable I found was in Phamquang's rom "AWSOME" 5.2.21891. Trust me you will not regret it.

If you install a custom or stock rom then yes you will loose all contacts, messages and general settings but once the new rom finishes flashing and resets, it will go through a connection setup to set up your internet and messaging settings.
There are soo many roms out there to try out its really a matter of what you need to get out of it. Laurentius26 rom has custom slider icons and custom system icons that you may or may not like, Duttys WWE rom is extremely stable and fast with a stock look but everything inside updated (also includes a good radio so no need to update first), and as mentioned xannytech has a very stable rom which is well liked by alot of people.
My advise would be to try a few and see which one sticks on you.
Mark.
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.
What official ROM are you using?
Please choose and also say on the thread.
Mention if you're using custom ROM as well.
You be the judge.
I'm using Dutty's HG 1.7
Why? I always revert back to Dutty's ROM after using anyone else's ROM because I find his ROM's to be very stable and its stock-like, which allows me to install mods however I want to.
Quiet honestly, you just have to try out the ROMs for yourself, there are plenty of chefs out there that have different tastes, and one of them is bound to be your choice. Just as an example, NRG's Energy ROMs is completely customized when you flash it, CleanEX ROMs are "clean" (only has necessary programs for the phone to run)....those are just a couple that come out of the top of my head.
Just experiment, and you be the judge, don't let others make the decision for you! It only takes a few minutes to flash a ROM!
Happy flashing!
I'm cooking and using my own rom simply because i can't get
the same enhanced experience with any stock rom out of the box.
Best of all roms and mods/enhancements combined.
artemis v8 - why? because it is simply the best rom on our planet!
the only neg point - it doesn´t have the 576mb ram support.

to some that is a good thing!!!
with stock I had 70MB storage lefter after I did all my installs.
On Duttys HG 1.6 I had 170MB free after the same installs.
AS for free memory i had 172MB free on 1.48 stock.
On HG1.6 I have 300MB free.
I never crunched through 172, let alone 300!!!. But given the 576MB I now have a shorter battery life (but not by much), but also some call quality and stability issues, and internet reliability.
2.09 radio is the best IMO.
p.s. I chose Duttys HG because at the time it was 35554 build with the most stripped out and i was looking to test the build. Now there is tons of choice though.
This thread will be locked soon, especially as it's in the wrong forum for a start!!
But I use my own ROM for the record

Maybe not. digitalhater does not ask the best
I'm using a cooked rom. L26V3.0 ultimatepower. because i like the skinning, functionality, stability and speed
Should still be moved to general though!
Using Artemis 8.0 SVE, since its the only swedish custom/cooked ROM i can find. Simple as that.
artemis
artemis rom because:
- the rom is very stable and fast, also very close to stock so i can use the customization i want
- i like the philosophy behind the project: high tech rom based on the latest hd2 packages, no tricks and gimmicks, only the real thing
- i like the sternas' work ethic and his attitude toward his "customers"
I'm using my own custom ROM. I've tried several different ones by chefs, but I always return to my own because it has everything I like and my own custom icons.
I'm using AxLor Leo V.9 WWE Lite Edition. I chose this ROM because it's fast, has cool looking icons already cooked into it and it got everything I need.
Clean EX
Because Stable and very good Job for memory !
1.72 so
duttys HG roms - becouse i follow his work on my diamond, and only dutty roms i had installed on diamond longer than 2weeks, now on HD2 use becouse i know how much experience he must have witch rom building...
I also use Dutty's HG 1.7. it is generally very stable ( should i say less bugs) and very close to bare stock rom
ROM = ROMeOS
Why = it an enhanced OS rom with simple, clean & stable specs.
Not the best one but it only takes less than 15 mins to test it & u can flash other rom back

exactly the same idea as this, cant argue with that.
MIRI,s 23544 V11.
The most up to date ron, exceptionally smooth, stable, fast anx also close to stock but with much better looks.
the best roms for leo?..
simple.. see in my signature
I'm using RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship and I've just noticed that I have the GPS Photo options in the camera by default. I have no program such as HD 2 Tweaks or BSB Tweaks installed.
It's a clean install of the original ROM and a Task29 has been performed before installing it.
However, it doesn't work...the "Initializing GPS" keeps on loading (didn't tried this outside).
Anyone else has this option by default? Is it a faulty ROM?
I don't think the option should be there however. It's a stock ROM and no tweaks applied so...this is why it's strange. Can anyone confirm?
Hi all
Ive had my htc hd2 since nov on Vodafone
ive been through all the official rom releases right up till 1.72 just released on voda
but nothing has changed and i find it boring just waiting on these little fixes
I have HSPL installed
all i need is the best version of WM 6.5.3
Please please please be kind enough and point me in the right direction of good rom experience
Cheers
As people look for different things in a rom, and as we all install our own little tweaks and apps, the experience can be different for each person. Go to the threads at the top of the forum listing as these are the most current/popular and read the last 10 pages or so of posts - that will give you an idea of bugs being experienced. Look at the screenshots on the first page and then try a few for yourself to see what roms best suit your needs.
okay i hear you
I just wanted something stable but with most of the lastest featured tabs
Ive been reading just now there seem alot to choose from
hopefully the installs are as simple as the normal rom updates
apologies you expert must get this all the time

No worries bud, you can try my favourite, linked in my signature below . I like these roms, but as I said roms are personal to a large extent and each chef has their ardent fans all claiming that their chefs roms are the best. The only real way to get an objective view is to try a few and decide for yourself.

Theres also

Energy.Leo.23557.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.14.7z 168.6Mb
The 23557 rom is a 6.5.5 rom.
23557 is WM 6.5.x

It's just a different development branch from 6.5.3. It will work on your phone - just ensure that you flash either the 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio otherwise the device will hang on the White HTC boot screen.
