Hey guys,
Thought I might ask what everybody's preffered Hero ROM is for the magic? I have recently modded my phone using all your excellent guides/expertees and would love to know which one you people prefer, and which you would reccomend?
Currently using KingxKxROM - Back to work we go

Don't ask which build is best -- choose for yourself based on the features you desire!
It is very easy to test what you like with switchrom, nandroid, or BART you can always go back to what you like.

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.

Hi,
There is a new version for all Desire Z of the clockworkmod, just go into rom manager and the update will prompt.
New things are the possibility of going back using the back key (this was not possible before and it was done by pressing down power button), and the possibility of partition your sd card. But why would you like to partition it? Is there any ROM that supports A2SD already??
Can someone please explain to me what is the point of installing these custom ROM-s, out of which most have some kind of bug's or disadvantages over the perfectly reliable and fully working stock ROM by HTC?
In my point of view, HTC has a massive team of developers and testers for developing their software, so it has a better chance to be more reliable and bug free than any custom ROM developed by a small team of developers, who by no doubt must be great at what they do (respect for devoting their time to advance mobile software) but by numbers alone they have a lesser edge on thinking through all the possible bugs and errors in their code.
What are the main advantages a custom ROM gives you that makes you want to replace your stock with it and risking losing some of your phones functionality..?
Thanks for any insightful answers
If you pick the right rom you will have no bugs at all, and a faster more smooth version of the stock rom.
That is all I will say. You need to try them for yourself to really know what its like, but once you do you will never want to go stock again.
I agree,... ALL custom ROMs I have ever used for long periods of time have been "snappier" than the stock ROMs. Some have better battery life, some allow further customisation than stock.
As Lenny said, give it a bash, if it is not for you then you can always revert back.

Well, what if there's a bug in the current ROM for a function that you use a lot and you want to switch to something else that doesn't have that bug ?
What if you want to use different programs instead of the ones that HTC has picked and built into the ROM ?
What if you want to overclock your phone for extra performance and want that function built in there without any messing around ?
As for the number of people thing, although it might only be a few people actually cooking the ROM, but remember that a *lot* more could be involved in writing the applications in the ROM.
Not meant to be an exhaustive list, but those are just a few reasons why you might want a custom ROM.
This is my first Android phone, previously I was on WinMo, and there the custom ROMs were always hugely better than the stock ROMs (more stable, faster, better functionality, etc).

Sorry but I am a newbie of DesireZ and on the XDA forum as well. A few things want to know about this new clockworkmod :
1) Where can I download this new version?
2) I have already installed ROM Manager but never flashed any ROM so far, so how to install this new version?
3) Can you recommend a good ROM for DZ? My main concern is that I can change the system font size, and the 4 function key below can work (I know some G2 ROM not compatible with DZ, especially the 4 keys below)
4) I have also already ENG S-Off and rooted. So I just need to save the ROM in SD and flash it with the ROM manager?
I thank in advance!

Go into ROM manager and it will tell you there's a new version of ClockworkMod available. Then you can flash it from the option within ROM Manager (and reboot into recovery if you want to, just to test it).
Hi Guys,
I'm upgrading my Widfire to a desire in a couple of months and Wanted to give the Wildfire to my missus. However I don't want to give it to her with a custom Rom without any choice.
So I wondered if anyone has the default "Orange Rom" I can isntall so she can decide as this would be her first smart phone and I think sense would be easier for her to get on with.
I found this in development section but I can't post a question as I have to have posted 10 posts to be able to do so.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906557
The one you linked is indeed the default Orange ROM, with just the upgraded HBOOT removed. (So that, you retain root, and, your missus can run Custom ROM's when she gets bored of the default Sense interface. )
You can go ahead and flash it without any issues. It'll function just like the Stock ROM.
Thanks alot bud!
Is this still the best placed to get the default ROM ???
Hello all,
I have recently bought a HTC HD 2 on eBay with hyperdroid cm7 v2.1.0 head honey badger. ( Whatever that means, Sorry Im new to this rom stuff) It seems to be very glitchy and force closes dialer and many applications a lot. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction as to where to start. I wish to use a better and more stable rom for my phone but have no idea where to start. Thank you
1st turn off the phone and then turn it back on. does it say magldr at the top? if it does the i think a great stable ROM to start off with would be BLUETOPIA HD, you can find it here. i think its a great started ROM because a lot of the info needed to flash the rom is express in the post in a very easy to follow way. you can also check out RAFDROID HD found here which is also a great ROM.
i would also check out this thread because it will have all the info you need to know about flashing ROMs and is written for noobs to ROM development. be sure to thank mskip for his post.
BLUETOPIA HD is [LEO1024][TMOUS]
If you have EU LEO512 don't flash this rom. If not, go ahead!
Hi Guys, I am new to the forum but have been using the advice here for my various HTC phones and now I am looking for a custom rom for my Blackstone.
I have tried the premium EDGE rom and the newest stock rom and I don't particularly like either.
I would be interested to know everybodies personal experience and advise on the best rom for the blackstone, mainly because I don't want to go through and test them all, just hoping for a consensus on the best rom.
Let me know your opinion, thanks =)
P.S I did search, but I want up to date opinions
Alternatively, tell me what ROM you use and tell me what is so good about it, thanks
