You should try some out and find the one that suites you. If you are worried about bricking the phone than don't install a custom ROM on it. I have used several the last week or so and of course I have a favorite ROM as well but the choice is individual.
Actually, I would like to know this too.. Im all new to this world of custom ROMs, and I fid it hard to see precisely what everything does, and what makes it uniqe.. For a newb like me, this is indeed hard.

Give hime some credit....80 plus posts not bad, maybe migrated from another device...
If you don`t want to risk bricking your phone then simple NO FLASH NO RISK....
IF you want all the lastest stuff pick a rom you like the contents of....
Personaly i`m on miri at the mo, Might give NRG a try when its released...
Once you start flashing you`ll get the buzz and you`ll want the latest revision all the time....
Good luck, and there`s allways some one willing to help out,
Next time i`d tag your question onto an allready running post about best roms, Do a search and try not to start a new thread....

I am new to it all as well, but didn't have keept me from trying out 5 different roms and I am trying a few more when they are released as well.
The best roms i have tested is the Topix 1.1 and the XT Pandora 1.0 which I am using now. The thing I like about them both is the are really fast and responsive. The Pandora rom has more software installed from the start which can be both good and bad. The collection of apps in pandora suits me well, the topix had to get a few pieces of software installed.
Admins and many people dont like topics like that because they bring us to endless discussions. Some people are fan of that rom others are fan of another one and start to 'battle' here.
As far as i know there are five or six roms around here. Thats not to much to try.

As everyone else said don't flash if you are scared! if you read well and follow instructions there is no reason you brick your device ...
If you are:
1. Looking for stable and fast 6.5 ROM I reccomend Miri
2. Looking for stable and fast 6.5.x ROM with menubar at the bottom try Maati
so do what the rest of us do and test. I tried 4 ROMs the first day SSPL was released and have now settled on my fav. People who have been flashing for a while do have preferred cookers but as you are new i would try 3 or 4 and try them. The Rom Posts always tell you what is included as extras and what they have removed from the standard apps that come with it to either speed it up or make a little mnore space.
Do some more research if needed but dont come asking what the best ROM is as it all comes down to personal opinion in the end anyway. Take buying a Car yes you might ask people which to buy but in the end you will test drive a few then settle on which is the best for YOU. It's the same with ROMs.
As for worrying about bricking your phone as long as you follow the instructions you should be fine. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and the only issue i have ever had was flashing a Security unlocked Radio because i didnt pay attention to what the instructions said.

For answer what's best now, i would like to say, stock 1.61 is best one.
Try alot of cook Rom so far, but no one still now is stable, all of them cause a system freeze on my phone.
Note that HD2 is very fast and have a high hardware performance allready, so rom cook needed stable at the first.

I agree with you. Make a big round trying all the custom roms , now I'm back to 1.61 stock rom. 1.61 is fast and stable. Gonna wait till the custom roms are stable first before I use them for daily usage.

I agree with this. I have since gone back to 1.48 (+ hotfixes + 1.61 radio, so it's basically 1.61 in German). In particular, WM6.5.3 seems to cause a few problems. I am sure this will get fixed in due time. What the OP was in a way criticizing is the fact that many custom roms have third party apps and themes built in - which is very much a matter of taste. I personally look forward to this:
- Clean 6.5.3(.3) OS
- HTC Sense + other stock apps patched so they do not conflict with 6.5.3.
- No custom themes / icons etc unless they are provided as optional addon.
From my Kaiser i still remember the "UC" method, where cabs were optionally added after flash depending on the what you put in a text file. I think this was the best compromise.
So the newest official rom is the best? And after installing that i have to tweak everything?
aint it possible to delete everything and just install a fresh windows mobile and htc sense, and go on yourself with stuff i want? Or is it not possible/not a good idea?

i dont think the official rom can beat the two latest cooked roms i have used. the topix and pandora are faster and more smooth and still has the htc software as well
i tried em all
i really wish to take some thing from everything
but back to miri
man that rom is super fast
it just needs some folders and some apps thats all
i am on miri's too.. didn't try others but coming from 1.43 stock it was much smoother!!!

Although I like your common sense argument, I wonder if it holds when you realise that a stock rom with a gazillion tweaks, utilities and driver updates added isn't realy a stock rom anymore.
So what's better: to go for a tweaked rom that is tested and shared by a community of users, or to soft-modify a rom yourself?
The only thing I'm a bit worried about is how save my data are on a customed rom. I mean aren't they a bit "hacker" prone? Not that i mistrust the chefs, but the components they use, how trustworthy are they?
EDIT: but then again, also installed utilities, programs etc. could potentialy hijack my personal data.... (so not maybe the worry isn't very realistic)
Can you please help me to find clean ROM for HD2? Without the added applications, only OS + basic stuff and patches. I'm not using them anyway or can install them when needed .
I spent lot of time of today in ROM section and I'm still not smarter then in morning .
Thanks

It's not at XDA anymore; it's over here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1786 Miri's ROMs. Try Xtralite or Standard.
Have a look at the Artemis ROM (latest version V13) in the ROM section.
regards, Kuzibri
Artemis is not a clean rom
Clean ex is a clean rom with almost only htc sense.

Alas, I do not agree with you. Artemis is the closest to stock ROM philosophy I know off. Also it is a very stable and fast ROM, faster than the usual stock ROM's

He don't want extra applicatons.
The stockrom and artemis has also lots of applications.
Bing,Windows marketplace,JBlend etc...
In my opnion this are extra apps you can install them also manually.
Clean ex does not contain that apps.

I do agree with you on this point, but build in apps, and IMHO in Artemis the extra build in apps are all useful and not crap or abundant, are faster than manually installed apps. The OP does not have to follow my suggestion, but Artemis is the closest to what he wants, This is my personal opinion.

sure great rom...but with a few application i dont want, too (artemis with kitchen would be the greatest )
i searching for a clean rom, too (but german)
just with outlook, office + htc sense stuff (in germany office isnt in the marketplace)
i keep on searchin...but i dont think i find it :X
maybe i begin to cook roms for myself...but at the moment i am hard noob on this and i am a bit scared to brick my device
CleanEX is super clean.
RTTShock or Chucky also quite clean.
thanks for all info .
I tried Artemis_v17 for some time but had some stability issues (freezed time to time). I will test V18 also, but currently I'm testing energyrom. Looks good after 48 hours
HI guyz,most of the hd2 & tmous HD2(like me) users here used android on there phone n hav som issues like robotic voice or more.so on behalf of everyone i request the developers to make a cooked rom for our Tmous HD2 and HD2 in which there's no robotic voice problem and that rom is stable and fast for everyday use.more over i would like to request to make a cooked stock rom as some people's like the stock roms which dont hav robotic voice and other issue thus we can use both Android n WM whenever we want.ANd this way it would be helpful to them who are making the android ROMs.i would like to give thanks to the developers for Working hard for us.. we really appreciate that and we are very thankful to you for your works,,,
This has been done. Use SEARCH.
check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
If you read at all, you can find that it could be a ROM or Radio issue causing Robotic voices.
Also, many android builds are almost perfect.
Do a bit more reading next time please...

is HSPL needed to run android in hd2?
Do you think this is the right thread for 'question'?
Normally HSPL is needed because you need to flash the radio rom suitable to run android.
as long u using 3rd party rom u need it..
I don't believe it is "needed" to simply run Android. Now if you want it as your daily OS, I would strongly suggest it. You will be able to flash the recommended Radio / ROM combination so that you get the most functional build possible.
Without the right radio or ROM, you will have some unwelcome bugs.

since the day i bought hd2 until now it never been hspl yet in other word it still original official hd2 rom, here the descriptions:
os: 5.2.21869
manila: 2.5.19211619.0
rom: 1.66.707.1
radio: 2.07.51.22_2
protocol: 15.32.50.07u
I have stock T-Mobile US HD2 and I have not put HSPL or anything... it's even GSM locked to the carrier...
I managed to get FroyoStone series to work just fine; mccm build FRG33 and FRG 83 build as well... besides that I did try some builds like shubcraft or whatever the name is and it did not want to work due to screen freezes - so I just went back to mccm 1.5
sorry double post

I use Chuck Droid ROM as my WinMo base. Radio 2.10.50.26. I switch between 2 Android chefs: MdeeJay and Bangsters. I use them both for daily use.

anyway our advice is already stated there..
u want to install or not is depend on u..
any brick on ur phone will be responsible by urself..
You can run Android on a stock phone, but just be ready for any of the various annoyances with doing so, most common is audio issues like robot voice during calls. I tried it on stock Tmous HD2 for a while before finally loading up custom roms.
You might get lucky and not have the issues.

How do I know I am using the right radio?
Hi everyone I am going flash my first custom rom (RCMix HD v5.9.7) tonight. I was told to use the radio that works best for me, but how do I know am I using the correct one? What will happen if I use a wrong one?
Should I flash radio before or after custom rom?
Thanks
My Desire HD:
Baseband version
12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Software number
1.75.351.2
You always can flash radio rom if you have Radio S-OFF.
For mor information : Look here
btw: I use this radio rom: "04th April 2011: Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 - Unknown source" from the thread with matching RIL and I also have RcMixHD 5.9.7 running on my DHD. Works fine.

I understand I can always flash a new radio, but how do I know I flashed a correct one?
I mean what would happen if I flashed a wrong one? Like some part of my phone will not work? Or it will be very slow? Or sth else?
Thanks again

Simply, put if it works without getting in the way you have the right radio. The perfect radio for you depends on many things; network, geographical location , usage patterns etc. my advice would be stick with the recommended one for your ROM and change it only if you have issues or a better radio, for your situation, is released.

There is no "right" one. Almost all of them will work with any ROM to some degree.
It's just that some work better than others (better signal, better battery life).
We haven't really come up with an objective way of judging this yet so it's best to try one or two out and see which one works the best for you. None of them "won't" work though.
For Gingerbread ROMs one of the latest two is probably the best.

Thank you very much!
Is there a particular way to know the perfect match between your radio and RIL? Or is that the same as knowing what radio works best?
As far as I know a RADIO will work with different RILs, but if you want the best performace you should take the one that is recommended.
Quote from jkoljo: "Matching radio and RIL is always a good combination when you think of signal stability and battery consumption. That is why you should flash a matching RIL when you flash a new radio"
In this thread is a list of RADIOs with matching RILs.
