Anyone know of a ROM that exists for the TMOUS HD2 which is "clean"? In other words, just Window Mobile without any apps or the HTC Sense UI? I'd like to get a hold of one like that and add apps manually as I want. Mainly so I can remove apps and such as I find I like or don't like them without having to flash everything all over.

Looks like this Miri ROM has a few different options, I'm thinking the "standard" version is what you're looking for, not sure if the "xtra lite" has Titanium or not.
You may just want to download a kitchen and cook yourself up a ROM though.

Hi everyone i had the touch it 2.3 rom in my t-mobile wing. I like it for a while because of the cube But i see no point of it SO I SWITCH back to its original t-mobile rom. I search around for simple roms and i found PDAVIET.. I dont really know much about it but i know its a 3rd party rom.. The only things is that i cannot find one that doesnt have the cube in it. Any suggestion guys!
You could make your own its sorta fun if you follow the guideline. I Tried them all and decided I just wanted a trimmed stock rom. I removed the VoiceCommander and My5Fave and a few other things. Applied a the 4mb pagefile mod and I'm very happy. Don't get me wrong all the popular ROM's are extremely well built and highly functional. But I like my system simple and not cluttered with more than I use. I just backup my favorite cab files as Read Only on my memory card and install them as I need them.
PDAViet has the cube...
Ok, I have a solution for you. Try Open Touch here:

There are two versions (with and without cube) and both are very nice, easy and simple install, nice interface, no big issues to worry about. It is based on ITJE's 2.3 ROM, which in turn I believe is the same a stock ROM, only modified! Good luck.
I want to flash my Elfin with any WM 6.5 ROM. But the problem is, there are a *lot* of them in the wild, and I'm confused.
In http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541886, you can see a bar at the bottom which is absent in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540. Also, in the first one, the start menu is shifted to the bottom.
I'm looking for a simple WM 6.5 ROM with the *least* modifications done to it.
Any recommendations?
Also, is WM6.5 good to use *without* M2D?
First, windows mobile 6.5 is now a very 'loose' build, which means Microsoft just works on the builds and release them as and when they like it and along the way, they work on new BETA features. Or features which do not work well.
Some of the builds have start buttons at the bottom because Microsoft changed some of the features of it (Again, its Microsoft issue).
Do be reminded that Windows Mobile Official 6.5 is not out yet.
Hmmm, thanks for the reply. I have another question.
When I hard reset my phone, M2D, and other M2D components like Audio Manager, HTC Album, Phone Canvas etc. is retained.
When I dump my rom following this guide http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom, will all that stuff be there in the backup? I.e., if I want to flash this backup, will the M2D etc be flashed with it?
If not, is there a way to backup the whole thing? I'm not talking about the apps I install. I'm talking about M2D etc. which are in my ROM since I bought it. Since they are retained even after a hard reset, I guess there must be a way to back them up along with the ROM.

bt u wll lv it without manila
I understand M2D works standalone, but I was just thinking that would the M2D etc which is cooked into my rom be dumped when I dump my rom?
Also, can someone direct me to a guide for HSPL? I found one on this website but it's confusing.
Okay guys, I need some replies fast .
Question:
If I dump my ROM using this method (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom), then *will* the M2D, Audio Manager etc be backed up with it? I think they should, because they were 'cooked' into the ROM, i.e. if I hard reset, they are retained.
...No one?
Well, rom dumping is quite hard.
What? This (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_HowtoDumpRom) process was pretty simple. But do you know the answer to my question?

I've installed in my ELF and works very well!!!!
I recently got my Touch Pro 2, and love the device. However I'm still on T-Mobile 6.1 ROM, and waiting for their 6.5 update.
There are many custom tabs/screens for Manila on this forum. Is it possible to use them on this stock ROM? Or I must switch to a cooked one?
U going to have to swith to a custom rom. its best if you get your roms from thewingster.com
I guess flashing custom roms invalidates my warranty.
Thanks anyways, I might try it when I have a little more courage.
Don't listen to him, you don't need a custom ROM to customize TF3D. I use the stock ROM and I have switched wallpapers, clocks, taskbar icons, slider icons, lock screen and more. Tons of stuff you can do with stock ROM!
Here's an example:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
EDIT: Just search a bit here and places like PPCGeeks etc, you can find tons of stuff. Most of the CABs from this forum (Rhodium > Rhodium themes, applications and software) work with the stock ROM. Just be sure to check which Manila / WM version they are made for. There are also many to be found in other categories here at XDA, and also you can google them.

Thanks a lot. That link looks very promising, I'll try it as soon as possible.
Ditto, I was going to say the same thing. It's not like your manila files are locked in stock ROMs. So you can manipulate them as you see fit.
You don't need to resort to flashing your ROM unless you want a complete different version of Manila.
heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.
Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.
heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.
thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?
No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.
Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.
Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it
sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.
okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.
Hi guys.
Has anyone tried or HAS a working ROM for Mini using WM 6.5.5 Latest Build and w/o HTC Sense?
I am trying to find a working cooked ROM if not then I'll make one myself and post it.
I just need to know if there are stock ROMs that'll work for mini.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Windows Mobile 6.5.5 latest possible WORKING and STABLE build
2. List of HTC pre-installed software that can be removed
3. Essential software that need to be installed in the Mini (just to make it work)
Thanks.
Use rom kichen alpha provided in this thread to find essential soft to run hd mini, also yuo can find all preinstalled soft there too. Just download Shipped rom, extract, use kitchen to modify it. Simple like 1.2.3
Most of people doesn't use copilot & google maps software. I don't like Manilla's Footprints & Stock pages, maeybe some business people use it, but i don't. And i think is not so big group off business people, who flashes their phones
Yeah... but the problem is that HTC totally removed tmail.exe in their ROM. What I'm looking for is a ROM that's untouched by HTC but'll work for the Mini. Somehow, I find the stock Message soft from MS is more convenient since it also support threaded messages.
HTC has so much to the OS that it has officially screwed it up and making it hog almost 60% of the resources of the phone. I'm going to build a ROM that'll be free for anyone to customize from scratch without the fear that it's not compatible with the Mini.
