Hello,
I'm really sorry to ask such a dumb question, but its really hard for me to see the advantages between the thousands of different ROMs out there. I'm still using the old 1.48 ROm version and I want to update to something new. But I don't know to which ROM?
Is there maybe something like a ranking? Like most people use this ROM, 2nd place this etc.? Which are the most popular ones? best ones?
I know this is always subjective but for the moment some hints would help me.
Thanks a lot!!
do you mean a stock rom or a cooked rom
i have xannytech evo 1.4 its good.. i have tried alot of roms but i think xannyi the best..

The Skyy,
Sorry but we don't do Best Rom threads any more. The best ROM is the one that works best for you.
My advice is either to stick with the stock roms from HTC or, if you are interested in cooked roms, read the features of each ROM in the Rom Dev forum, try a few, weigh them all up then make up your own mind.
Good luck with it

Hello @ll.
I just arrived this Forum and I'm reading all the time that you changed your roms. My question is now why should i change my rom? Will my phone work faster and more comfortable? I have the HTC TouchHD.
Thank you and bye bye from Germany

This is a question that has been asked many times before in other threads. All you need to do is search.
However I'll answer your query this time.
Most people change there rom as they are not happy with the original roms userability, speed, etc and are curious at trying out other roms to see if this has improved as well due to their looks, additional apps, tweaks etc.
Also you cannot get wm6.5 without flashing to a cooked rom, and generally wm6.5 is more finger friendly.
If you read first few posts of each rom thread you will see what is on offer in each particular rom, and with latest roms, this should be significently different to your stock rom. Manila will also have changed as stock roms are generally using manila 1.3 or less while my current rom uses manila 2.1 which is greatly improved as it also has the additonal benefit of being landscape compatible.
Best advice would be to ask yourself what are you looking for on your current phone, and then ask, can my phone do this now. If not, search elsewhere to see if this can be done on another rom, then read flashing guide and flash to that particular rom.
Let me know which of those ROMs do you use on your Leo ! If your isn't in the list, please post and comment
Official Rom LoOOOL
No stock rom option? bah
same here !
Havnt Had the ball's to run with other than the stock one... Even tho now with the nexus one out and all H hope someon could work something out.. Would love to try on the Android OS.
Only 6.5.3 or 6.5 with 2.02 package are considered. That mean that modified stocks ROMs are not considered.

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.

pfft....I don't need no stinking 1.61!!
I'm on good old 1.48.405.2 WWE!!!
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.
Ok,i would like to know which is the best RoM for HTC HD2? and how to flesh it if possible explain here or give a link!

Read that. The best ROM is all about personal preference, for me, I like Omega XT GTX Themed, it's minimal, but it has all the features I want. Just browse the forum for ROM's.
MAKE SURE YOU INSTALL HSPL3 BEFORE YOU DO JACK SQUAT.
Ok was wondering if there is an Original HTC HD 2 RoM not T-Mobile one ! Since i noticed a little diff
there are loads of original roms but THEY WILL ALL BRICK YOUR PHONE,
do NOT flash any original rom to your tmous hd2.
you can only use tmous official roms, or tmous compatible cooked roms on a tmous.
I see a couple of thread like this get bashed..I suggest for you to try some of the roms until you find what suits you,its all about personal opinion and taste..They are free!!! just follow the instructions you should be good....
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
