Hi everyone.
I've owned XDA's for a while, but before joiing this site, which wasnt too long ago I didn't know there were such things as custom ROMs.
I was wondering, what are the advantages of flashing custom roms? is it mainly aesthetic? Or is there great performance increase, i was reading about one that apparently makes the HD2 use it's full 1ghz capability.
Also, I've my HD2 on contract with 02, is it possible for me to flash it or will i have trouble with 02 network if i do?
Any help i'd love thanks in advance. And sorry if these have been answered elsewhere I tried looking.

hi guys, im new to the world of pdas/smartphones and have recently purchased an alpine (o2 xdaIIi) that should arrive tomorrow so i've been looking at upgrading before i start putting info onto it and wiping it in the process.
i've read as much as i can take in over the past couple of days about upgrading the software before posting anything too stupid.
my question is, out of the two rom updates i have managed to find active links for which would you recommend as the most stable?
alpine-1.11.171-radio-1.04-bluetooth-patched-camera-fixed.rar
Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar
personally i dont really mind if it has the 02 stuff on it or not as i'm with that provider anyway, going on version numbers i would say the first one would APPEAR to be the one to go for but experience tells me newer isn't always better. i appreciate any input from senior members.
Hello
Been a longtime lurker on these forums, been following the graphics saga with the Kaiser and other phones... and also the inability to flash P3600i's with cooked ROMS :/
They've become really cheap now where I live, and have great features considering the price they're now selling at. I assumed that the P3600i's could use the same cooked ROMS as the Trinity phones, but of course I was mistaken
SO my question is this: If you can't flash a P3600i with a cooked ROM, what else can you do to customise your phone? I mean apart from software of course... I'm guessing nothing, apart from super minor things like reg tweaking and stuff
Is it still worth it to get this phone (if it was cheap) despite not being able to use cooked ROMs? I mean, can you still 'get a lot out of it' by doing other things?
Regards,
Jon
Hi, I recently purchased a HTC Dream (aka G1) and am looking to replace the stock ROM with a more snappy and stable third party one (it has been rooted already). What currently is the best replacement ROM in terms of speed and stability?
Thanks in advance

It's a matter of opinion, try them all and find what you like.
There has been TONS of threads opened up JUST like this. Do research, read ROM threads in the development section for user feedback to compare, and just flash away.
I personally use SuperD which a lot of people love. But in cases of wanting a solid ROM I recommend trying Cyanogen, his work is often built upon by other devs for their own custom ROMs and he doesn't release a bunch of little updates that make you have to flash every 3 days so its nice.
I am an upcoming hd2 consumer. I have been looking on around on the forums looking for customizations and roms. I have a few qq's. Are the slider themes able to work on the stock rom. I want a custom rom however because of the price of the phone i am a bit hesitant to take the risk. Also what are some of the most stable roms i have seen a few but all seem to have some kind of issues. Thanks for all the help and comments and answers!!!

Hello Shadowguy, and welcome!
As for the sliders/themes....any visual tweak will work on the stock ROM, as long as its matched for the exact version of Sense you're running. In the case of the stock Tmo ROMs, you'll have Sense version 2.5.2012, so just look for that number mentioned when reading the threads about any particular item you're considering. Some will work on any 2.5.xxxx version, some will be specific down to the last 4 digits.
Now, about which ROM is best...my sig has all the advice I can give on that
Hey all, I'm pretty new here so forgive me if this is a repeated thread though after a search I couldn't find a similar topic, not since last month at the very least. Having just switched from my Milestone to a Galaxy S I was wondering what set up long-time users had found was best for their handsets.
I didn't get any experience with the Milestone due to the infamous locked bootloader but I expect that one of the first things I'll do with the Samsung is to gain root access and flash the firmware, however, having been unacquainted with that aspect of the dev community I was hoping for tips. Basically, which did you find to be the best ROM for you and are there any tweaks/mods/fixes that you consider essential? I'm particularly looking for recommendations based on a Froyo setup.
Thanks very much for any suggestions.
