I know I may be upsetting some people with this thread and I wish to not do so, so I appologize if I am ahead of time... but I have been doing alot of searching and reading and with all of these cooked roms now, I cannot decide which one to use or which ones to try first...so I was thinking -I would like to know which ones are more geared toward Eye Candy? And which ones are more geared towards performance / stability? Is there one geared towards both? (I would like the most possibly eye candy...at least just to try it out )...
Any recommendations or anything of the such ?
Again, I am sorry if this is a bad thread to start... really REALLY do not want to upset anyone, I appreciate all the work done here -really, and I am currently studying computer science programming so I really do understand and respect the work done here and one day would love to be able to contribute, but with this being my first time back to win mo in a longgg time, I need a little advice to get back into the recent times of winMo.... please help ?
Did you check out the ROM forum? I think you could find a better answer there.
I do not want to make a double post? Maybe the mods could move it ? Or maybe I should just start another one like this in that section ? -I thought this would be the right section since it is Q&A but maybe its just generalized Q&A ? ...not too sure
Check out the EnergyRom in the rom section.
He build's his ROMs with four main goals.
Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release
Bet there are other roms with the same goals so just flash some and see for yourself. Most threads have pictures how the rom looks like.
maybe the most famous eye candy - performance roms are energy and xannytech.
u should try both and decide which is the best for you.
personally, i prefer close to stock roms and do the customization separately.
there are several very good roms for this: dutty's, laurentius26, etc. but it's obvious which is my favorite .
mumbasa!!!
i prefer having a ROM closest to stock but tweaked to best performance. n the best in tht department in my opinion wud be Miri's 6.5.X or 6.5 (i use the 6.5 as i cant gt myself to like the 6.5.x arrangement by microsft + its still far frm perfect). They r the fastest, smoothest n the mst stable roms i've used, n i've been flashing miris for 2 years nw, since HD/Blackstone days. I'v tried duttys, asian, energy, n a few more, but none came close.
as for the eye-candy part, if u r looking for simply candy, energy's the best, n performance wise is also pretty gud. but agn, personally, wat i do is flash miris n customise it every last bit according to my needs. trust me, theres a sea of customisations rite here on ths forum n is a childs play to find if u r willing to look. cus wen u do sumthng according to ur needs frm scratch, its turns out tht much better cus nobody knows wat u wnt best bt u.
hope i helped. njoi.
Keep in mind, I need a TMOUS 1024 compatible version ...

I'm using "EnergyROM 23541/21892" and I'm looking for something better and faster !
I have to say it's pretty confusing and overwhelming when you arrive here. Couldn't answer this myself, there should be a poll thread like there are on Modaco to help newbies.
This again, why dont you start trying some to see what you like...they are all good
For cutting edge ROMs - look at Miri's or Dutty's HG ROMs
For super clean - look at CleanEx (new ROM but already looks like it could be a goodun)
This is all subjective to personal opinion and taste. Best advice is to read through some of the posts and try for yourself.

Definitely the ARTEMIS !!
So indeed this is where a poll would be useful, look at all those different answers!
I think rather than a 'what is best' it would be much better to have a comparison page where all the chefs could update with the important information and a link to their forum page - so for example it would have a table with the chef name, driver version, manila version, rom version etc... and perhaps a few key points such as applications added/removed from stock ROM...
A first point of call so you can quickly see who has released a new ROM, and see its details
What this should NOT include is any star rating/number of downloads etc...
This is an easy question to answer, I think!
For any user unwilling to do a bit of research and learn about differences between ROM's, the best ROM is obviously the one they already have!

the hd2 can't have any preferences, you on the other hand might have some.
thus, the question becomes 'which of the roms might be the best for me?'
so the solution my friend, lies entirely in your hands
happy flashing mate
this will be closed v soon. i have seen many threads on this topic they all closed. so u have to try ur self and find what is the best. tast r difarent. for me Dutty's HG
Thats like asking
"What is the best console" or even "What is the best programming language".
Simply put, it comes down to personal opinion, while one person might rate a rom good for its long battery life, another person rates the rom bad because it didnt come with his favorite video player installed (just examples, i know battery life is more related to radio, and you can install apps on all roms)
You could however ask people to write reviews, but theres already a site for that http://xdaroms.com/ and i gotta admit thats not very actively updated/reviewed.
Personally, im always very pleased with Artemis roms, if your looking for the ram or cpu trick, forget i mentioned it, but if your looking for speed and stability alongside the latest wm and manila, check out the thread (read peoples replys a bit/read changelog/look at screens to get an idea of the rom)
The first time it can be a little scary to flash your phone, but after a while you will get the hang of it, its really not that hard or dangerous, just read the thread about flashing.
As long as you read the (help & specific rom) threads, it'll be just fine
I agree... If like me, you need a ROM which allows for Chinese Input, you become more limited in your options... so it really depends on what you need....
I am a bit surprised to see a request like "searching a faster and better ROM".
You should ask different questions, eg. I need this and that in a ROM, which
ones come with it? Even better, do a search yourself!
Dozens of ROMs are available. All of them are fast, all of them are good.
Hundreds of different answers are possible.
If you feel that your device is slow with the ROM you are using, there could be other reasons:
- bad flash
- defective device
I just tell this because after having flashed something like 50 different ROMs over the past three months, not any single one of them made my HD2 slow.
please help me to find the best rom. i tried many roms but most of the consumes battery so quickly that i have to unflash them quick.
wishlist:
1- Longest possible battery *Important*
2- must be stable... no bugs
3- Limited amount of softwares installed. i love to install my own favorite ones.
4- prefer rom built using leo 2.10 (for HTC E-Reader)
5- desirable WM 6.5.5
6- desirable HTC E-Reader (tab is optional. App will do)
all you experience guys please help... its really difficult for me to choose one and i have already nearly bricked my mobile so a little bit scared to keep flashing every rom...
Thanks in advance
you're gonna get a lot of people annoyed that you started a thread like this
it's a personal choice
i don't see why instead of going into the correct section and reading the first three lines of the available ROM's you started your own thread specifying what it is that you want
ROM DEVELOPMENT
ITS ALL THERE!
Before the thread gets locked, I'll tell you that you need to wait 2-3 days before passing judgment on battery life. It takes about 2-3 full charge/discharge cycles before the ROM 'calibrates.' The first use after ROM flash will almost always give you terrible battery life.
its a general question about choosing the best ROM. it has nothing to do with rom development. i think this is the best area to ask question... i thankfully appreciate that many people are spending enormous time on developing roms but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...
but i think i have right to choose the one that suits my needs...

then stop asking which rom suits everyone elses needs and go find what works best for you, best advice i can give
and although it is the best area to ask this question, it has been asked a billion times before
true but they are all dated now
mate, in the rom development section, click on a rom, and on the first post it will say what it does
for example laurentius has good battery life
artemis is windows5.5 and very stable
cleanex and leolite have been stripped to make it faster
duttys has been tweaked for speed
they all say what they do

Why are all the threads about what is the best rom dated????
because the mods lock them. every single one of them.
why? because there is no best rom.
every rom suits someones needs. so every rom is for someone the best rom.
read all the threads and in every single rom thread you will find people saying that that rom is the best rom.
as said before a rom is personal. read the fisrt few posts and try a few. you will find yours then.
seems like leolite is going to be my rom i am downloading and hoping that it will be stable and less hungry on the battery...
thansk for quick tips guys
So Im getting my HD2 soon and am looking at the ROM's here, which one do you guys recommend? I was thinking either the Energy ROM or the Artemis ROM.
Sorry if wrong section.
mate thats a difficult one to answer without a qualifing statement. i.e. if you were to go round asking people 'whats the best car?' without explaining that you live in the middle of a nowhere and the only way to get there is by dirt track your not going to get the answer thats right for your situation/needs as most people are going to say some sort of sportscar or saloon.
There is no 'best' rom they all achieve different things, you'll just have to put some effort in and find out for yourself when you get your hd2. I go for duttys hg cos i like them clean and close to original without the crap.
This whole site is about the journey and making descisions for yourself not having someone tell you whats best, you surely know whats best for you not anyone else.
you may end up with some negative comments to that kind of post
EDIT: Just seen how new you are so your probably asking this without seeing how this sort of question normally goes down Is this your first time with winmo ?

. . . . . before mods closes this thread
experience is the best knowledge obtained here in XDA
try ROMs yourself and share us your experience, we wish you luck on this journey
i was struggling with that too..
i found Duttys Leo HG Ultimate V1.3_23547 (or later when you come to that)
and energy rom the best... energy rom seems a winner all the way when it comes to esthatics and the duttys seems simple fast and battery friendly
try both and u will end up with one matches to your tastes
Sorry I sound like a noob but I am....This is my first WM Device so Im just wondering if there is a general ROM that people consider the best. Most I want, Speed, Music, And the Web and Video. Those are the main things I use.
Also quick question, Installing a custom consits of Installing HSPL (if not installed), then Open WDC (I have windows 7), then install my custom ROM.
Is that correct? Pretty simple. Also, lets say I wanted a new ROM after that I just follow the same steps? Thanks in advance.
My oppinion is that the sone roms are the most professional ones. They are bug free. I suggest to you to try more and more roms, and chose the one you prefer.
Not sure how many times this has been asked,
but it has been a lot.
There is no best ROM.
I am sure you have noticed all the ROM's here and
the number of responses to them.
Everyone has a different opinion of what the best ROM is.
Try them and see for yourself.
That is what this forum is for.
Haha, getting in before the lock!!!
Steps:
Yes, install HSPL to device.
Download the Task29.exe thing that is stickied and run it before each install.
Then use customRUU to flash your desired ROM.
ROM: the roms I'm watching include (based on performance, stability, included/removed app list and look):
Laurentius26's ultimate power 2.0 (21895)
Artemis 6.0 (23547)
Topix by kwbr (21891)
Tom Codon's Rom (htpcedia) (21895/23547)
Dutty HG (htcpedia) (21895/23547)
Energy Rom.
Xannytech's Evolution
All are good and all are worth a look.
Also Lost in Asia, waterbear, leopard, cleanex, lynex, leon, leo lite, Axlor, Maseus, Romeos, OzRom, netDRG, Itje's, stockroms, valkyrie, Hd20, Sone, RTT, Chucky, and Flashmore also look hot.
Basically they are all good in some way or another and all have had good work and effort put in.
Smaberg's Touch-X all the way.
Thanks for all the help guys! Much appreciated!
I would also recommend upgrading the radio first before you post saying your phone no longer boots!

ROM geared towards EYE CANDY, & Performance ?

For eye candy, try EnergyROM by NRGZ28.
For Stability, I usually goto Dutty's releases.
For Speed, any clean 2.10 based rom is very quick... I prefer Tom_Condons.
Thank you...
I am sure there are others out there though so if anyone else would like to recommend some that fit my request - please by all means do so...
for both eye candy and performance, the L26 Leo Power is the one.
thank you very much! I will surely be working with all of these recomendations once I receive my HD2 ! =)
Any other recommendations are welcomed as well as greatly appreciated..
I don't think any of the chef's here try to make a slow ugly ROM!
I'm currently trying waterbears ROM, some seriously intersting icons on this one!
I have tried about 10 to 15 different ROMS in the last months and I`ve decided to stick with "Lost In Asia". It hasn`t had any compatibility problems with any CABs and it`s fast and reliable.
Study always Study
its been long time(almost a year) i didnt post here just watch and learn from peoples query request and suggestion. i am in a same position like you... My HD2 is coming within a week may be i should let you know what i planned, i check and filter by highest people view in HD2 ROM Development and found some names i can mention now which ofcourse i must try out, so if you want you can give shot. but dont forget to study the sticky post and before going to jump please ready those post might give you better idea first. they are very usefull..
1. Artemis
2. NRGZ28
3. MIRI (Not sure where to find them but i read all the post )
4. Laurentius26
5. Dutty (Not sure where to find them but i read all the post )
6. Tom_Condon
and many more...
EnergyRom = Fast and Eye Candy
Topix = Fast and Stable and Reliable (You can always install various mods / themes according to your flavour)
But agree with the previous comment... there is no one out there who is aiming for ugly and slow roms! 1Ghz you cant do much to slow it down
My preference would be to get a clean fast and simple rom and ad mods of my choice,!
Cheers,
Faisal.
Agreed!!!
i am fully agreed with faisalee. dont want to hurt you but as i can call myself noob and in my condition i would go for highest rate ROMs then i might go for extra light ROMs and install wht i want... since they are available in CABS..
EneryROm with Cookies and max manila is realy eye candy though...

I was wondering...
I was wondering, after looking at all the .cab files/tweaks and themes available, what does a ROM's 'EYE CANDY' do that one of those files could not do? Or, what is better in a ROM's eye candy, or what kind of eye candy can a ROM actually do ?
Just a little confused -so much information!
Thanks in advance... and sorry if this is a lame question...
Smaberg's Touch Extreme ROMS are the fastest and most stable to me.
He uses his own custom drivers so things run real smooth
Its all about EnergyRom
All Of expert here so much from and versions
the most lates the most stable the most stable internet and game
which the rom file is here...
or jus a original rom more stable??
i need the best and stable rom file from here on my phone any 1 can giv download link here and info...

There are a lot of stable, fast ROMs, a big part of it comes down to personal preference on what you want/need from the ROM , also depends on your phone model, you have a LEO_512 or a TMOUS LEO1024 ....
You really should just search through the ROM section find one that you like and ask questions about that ROM ..
Personally I like the Energy Series, but as I said that is a personal choice ...
this is my original rom versions
HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.66.707.1_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07_Ship

Do your own research, its all personal choice.
Its like buying a car, you don't ask which is the best car and just go buy it, you test drive several.

As stated above, the only real solution to your query is to search yourself. Everyone has different opinions, so obviously what I consider best for me, you may disagree and so forth. Threads like this are generally frowned upon in XDA as they create endless long discussions with no real end result due to, as I mentioned before, everyone having a different opinion with their own personal tastes
For this reason I am closing this thread
