I don't really understand, what are the benefits of flashing a new radio rom?

Anyone care to explain?

Flashing a different radio can give you better battery life, wifi, signal, voice call quality and maybe some other, I think...

How would I know which one is best for me?

Make sure you know everything about flashing first then just try suitable ones for your rom. There is some feedback in the various radio's threads but you'll have to work the search to find anything useful to you.
As new radio's are available i just try them. If they're no good i go back to the last one i had.
Remember to check which radio's are suitable for which rom's, there's only a few here for an HD2 so it's not to difficult. I used to have a Kaiser and there were loads available depending on what rom sys you had.
Are you on a custom rom or HTC?

I had a hard reset an hour ago so I'm HTC atm I'm looking to customize my phone the best. Also, where can I find Manila updates?

You cant update manila. You can either flash a newer ROM with a newer Manila Version (latest is 2015 i think as p.ex. used in Duttys HG 3.8) or you install some elements of the newer ManilaBuilds like the eReader, DokumentTab etc. (available as cabs here on the forum)

Its about the user experience... Picking an interface that suits you and what you use the phone for... Taking a good phone and making it fit you perfectly...
That's the quest of rom chefs and end users and most will flash a dozen roms to find the one that suits them...

I'm sure almost everyone here will agree it's well worth flashing custom rom's, they're far better than the stock HTC roms, just takes a bit of getting into to get the most out of it. A good backup and you can always go back to a stock rom.
No pressure....
Flaaash...flaaash...flaaash!

Tim thanks you've been a great help although I want the max manila home theme. Looks smooth, I want my phone to look good as well as comfortable and speedy

Also, most ROM chefs will say which Radios work best for that ROM, and then you just need t be sure it's working well for you signa-wise in your area.
I had a non reccommended radio for Energy ROM, and I found Manilla would freeze, the phone would hang and reception would drop. One radio flash later, all this went away (and it only takes a minute and you don't lose any settings, so no biggie)

A few of the more prevalent chefs cook various versions for example the energy rom i'm using at the mo comes as a Co0kie version, a max sense version and a standard manila version. Not sure there's any max ultimate roms being cooked as maxcy now has a new interface he's working on, the said "maxsense" and hasn't updated max ultimate for a long time. Co0kies home tab is far better and far more stable, max sense is in it's early stages, probably has more potential but i understand it's got a few instabilities as it is.
Take a look at the link in my signature at the energy rom version. Not that i'm biased though i have, and will continue to try all sorts of roms. When you flash it's worth having a look at the last few pages of the rom's thread and then watch it again after you thread. Generally any probs you have will come up and any probs that don't normally mean it's something you've done different.
And also worth remebering the chefs do this for themselves and share it with us, it's fortunate they'll listen to some of our requests but really we have no right to ask for anything. We help report and sort any faults and generally the chefs will incorporate popular preferences like the energy rom doing all the variants of his rom.

I have always thought of this stuff as a bit like, why do you "chip" a car... most makers make what they think is the best within their limits for their products... they want ease and minimum hassle or comebacks... but some very bright sparks are bound to come along and make it better.. I know when I brought a diesel car, after having nice sports cars before, everyone thought I was mad.. but by chipping it, my BHP jumped 50%, my Torque 35% and my MPG went up to around 60mpg on a good run... so the benefits are there if you are willing to take the chance and change a few things..
I am using Laurentius26 GoldEdition V2.1. I have played around with previous versions from the same cook but it all comes down to finding one that works well with your apps and your needs..
I have previously used many SPB products but found that the basic shell wrecks havoc from time to time.. it can work but not in the way that I want.. so I just dropped it.. all the other stuff works but it really is trial and error..
I am by no means an expert, my constant questions on here shows that, but I do appreciate what I have learnt from here and realised almost immediately that a cooked rom was better than a standard one but you need to find one that suits you..

I had horrible internet connection problems with my stock 1.66 rom and radio combination.
Flashing to radio 2.10.50.28_2, solved those problems.
So that is why.

I do not believe that flashing a radio rom enables the 576 ram.

ROM for Froyo?

i have read and understand some of it. my question is what is what is the good ROM for TMOUS to run froyo 2.2. what i have right now is. radio: 2-10-50-26. ROM: Cell EVO V1, and HSPL: 2.08.hspl. with that when i ran android. some time it went dead and have to remove the battery. or play youtube with green screen flicking. and its have a hard time to get GPS signal or not even detect any gps.
so i once again i have Tmobile USA HTC HD2. thanks in advance.

Honestly, I was in the same shoes as you. But, here is the new update.
Updated FROM 2.10.50.26 to 2.12.50.2_2
Then went to this rom, put it on
And got this froyo.
So far....
BEST yet, no SOD for me or freezes and been using for a day and a half now. Nice.

what if i'm on on the 2.13 radio...cause i did download this and everything worked but the sound when i would make a call...i couldn't hear anything...would you know what i needed to do...thank you..

Thanks. try the rom and froyo given from the link above its apear to be stable for now. no sleep of death. if im not wrong its the froyo 2.1 that you are running righ now right? . i got some problem with the froyo 2.2 too. camera doesn't work on the camcorder i had to forclose. GPS doesn't in current position while driving. have not have a chance to use gps the 2.1 yet, but i like the speach to tex that froyo 2.2 has. another issued i had is the phone is getting hot while in my carry pouch and its not beeing used no apps is running.

Stick with the, 2.12 radio and install shubcraft , the most solid, fully working, and flexible build I have used

True. I have to admit I used darkstone's builds for the longest time, before going to shubcraft. Ultimately, most if not all of the builds available are far enough along now that issues Should be minimal. the devs have really done an amazing job across the board'

WANTED: VERY, VERY STABLE FINAl ROM: xtras, everything WORKING, minimal compromises

I have to sell 3 of my G1 androids. I want to flash nice looking, feature filled ROM’s to them. But, NO (few) COMPROMISES, everything should work as least as well as as doughnut. Minimal bugs, reasonably fast very GOOD battery life, WIFI, BT, responsiveness, stable GAPP’s etc,. Xtras. Tethering, good looks,multitasking etc would be nice.
It should be idiot proof. I don’t want anybody coming back ro me wining after sold.
Please, all suggestions welcome, VOTE.
Regards, PK
BTW: I Personally try anything on my own phones, all sorts of test runs, betas, RC’s, etc with bugs galore, but I would not want to sell them that way.

You are paying us for helping you, right?

http://chromatic.r00t.la/ download 3.9.1.1. stable, nice looking eclair rom. i personally used this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622613
this is another eclair rom. it's also stable and fast.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688262
this is pretty much the "stock" eclair. it's stable and has an amazing battery life.
have fun raking in the money :]

you said CM5.x and now you want money?!
ok now to the topic:
i suggest you the Chromatic 3.9.1.1. i use it for 2 - 3 months and im very satisfied.
everything works. Multitasking, Tethering, Fast(and stays fast), nice looking (black/red look)
and so on, well there are no compromises as far as i know, cuz everything works. it´s Éclair, stable Gapps.
well, everything you mentioned.
but you have to set the colour of the clock, date, notifications by yourself in spare parts.
activate compcache and set the cpu to 614 - 412(or something similiar) and ondemand, then you´re good to go.
there are newer builds from chromatc, 4.+ but they´re froyo, and i personally don't like them, they´re feelin sluggy..

Why would he pay us...
You could put a hero rom(preferably ZX) on one and the other two could have eclair(preferably SuperE).
You should have either put this in general disscusion or Q&A. Next time bud, k?
@Aboves the only reason why I wouldn't suggest froyo yet is because it's still in RC.

to add on to installing the 3.9.1.1. chromatic, i'd recommend these settings:
install pershoot's latest kernel http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=958
install setcpu, set profiles. more details can be found in chromersmith's thread.
install latest adw launcher. http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/
if you have a class 6 sd card included in the phones, enable 32mb of swap with 40 swappiness. if not, enable compcache.
check lock home app in memory, disable extra settings [gps, 3g, etc] for an increase of battery life.
make sure you do a full wipe/partition sd card using the latest version of recovery. [or do "fastboot erase system -w" too just to be safe]

Thanks All!
Looks like the éclairs win and I have some digging around for the right one(s). Probably chromatic xx.x but if I have time it will be fun flashing some of the others.
Thanks Again, PK
Sorry I posted here instead of general,

hey come and try out our roms.. my latest rom is posted androidmobsquad 0.3.2 with gapps come download it and try it out.

developer.htc.com/adp.html
That would be an appropriate, stable, OEM ROM for those devices.

Dudes Cupcake. http://code.google.com/p/thedudescupcake/

I considered a cupcake, certainly would be bulletproof I think. and not freak anybody. I Liked these phones when I got them because the interface seemed so simple and slippery. Might give it a try.
I wonder if they will work with Danger spl (and Amon and the latest radio)
Regards, Pk

Just put Enom's offical on the G1, its faster than any 2.1,2.1,1.6 rom out there....Plus it doesnt req OC over 384 to be fast....While the phone has to be at like 5XX+ just to run a froyo/eclair rom...I can run TheOffical fine at 128/384.

you could also put a froyo ROM in there, anyway you don't have to be a rocket scientist to wipe all the data an flash a new ROM... especially if the phone is already rooted and has the amon ra recovery...
The software support is what keeps this old phone alive.

Thanks, I’m using CM froyo 6 RC0 and RC3 myself. I like RC0 is pretty stable but a little hard on batteries, RC3 is hell on batteries, kinda buggy and a little tricky to get gapps to work. I think froyo is just to un-vetted.
I agree it's not rocket science to wipe and flash but it may be for joe-ebay and I really want to say goodbye forever to these things rather than walk someone through re-flash or getting gripes about battery life.

That's why you need to put a STABLE 1.6/2.1 on the phone....
What "IF" there's a problem and they aren't tech savy?Then what if they want a refund cause they cant figure out the problem...What if there's a constant amount of fc's? Better safe than sorry

I hate to go backwards an and maybe primitive, not much fun but, it's not for me is it. I have to say these things all came completely stock and the interface was downright slippery compared to much else.

(Solved using CM7) Finding a ROM where everything I WANT works doesn't seem to exist

Problem Solved. Running CM7 Build 40 (or later).

Do you have a condensed version of this post?
PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.

Sounds like you've experienced a mix of software, firmware, and hardware issues and blamed them all on the ROM.

I use Fresh and can do everything that I read (didn't read the entire wall though, you may want to put in some Cliff notes for the lazy.)
I also run launcher pro.

So make one yourself, nothings stopping you, all the pieces and knowledge are free. Your post on here doesn't really serve a purpose.

Tried Calk's EViO 2, Myn's RLS5, Azrael X 2.1-3.1 over the 1st 3 months after I rooted, all had their various issues. Been on Vaelpak for over a month, love it! Dev is quick to respond to problems, even when they're caused by something in my setup. Currently on v 3.1 RC1 (update 2), v3.2 is right around the corner. Gets better every day!
Swyped on my VaelPak'd Supersonic EVO 4G...

It sounds like you want a rom that does what you want and the good news is...you can get it by making it yourself.
Expecting the devs to make something specifically to your tastes especially when most of it is done free of charge is a bit much to be asking.
If you can't make the rom you like on your own then you had better get cracking at fixing the rom with most of your wants working. You said so yourself you are too lazy to fix even a simple font issue yet you want the devs to make all your "i wants" possible. You should at least put in the effort to try to fix the little stuff (font for example) on your own before expecting the devs to do everything for you.

I've tried about 10 ROM's over the past couples weeks and if I could put the best features of all them on one it would be great.
This is in no way a report on disatisfaction from efforts from chefs. They are all sharing there time and effort typically on something they want for themselves.
But it seems you have to give up something to get something else.
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my issues. Like use ROM X but apply this fix or patch.
I know everybody has different criteria for a "Working ROM" some may feel it's critical that Music plays over bluetooth with the phone going half asleep. Another user may want it to look like an iPhone etc.
But I don't need much (IMHO) but I just can't seem to get there.
Keep in mind I could easily live with most of these ROMs. But when you see something working right on one ROM but want it on another you keep hoping you can find a ROM that does everything the way you want or you can make it do so.
What I say I need may be incomplete because some things I take for granted. Like the phone needs to work, LED's for pending messages need to work etc.
1) ASOP Contacts. Why? So I can Click on Navigate to Address with that contact open. If anyone knows how to make HTC Sense Contacts do this I'd love to know. It can only go to stupid Google Maps.
2) Voice and Google Search to Include Contacts (ideally near the top of the list). I think I may have found a reason why it varies. If you shut off "Search As I Type" it behaves much more the way I prefer and Contacts will come right to the top and if you hit search it will then do a google search.
3) BlueTooth. All I use is simple headset that has worked on TP2 and 5 phones before that. It randomly disconnects after a Voice Search. Then leaves Voice Search prompt stuck on screen. Many (All?) sense based ROMs do this. But CM7 ROMs do not.
3a) Bluetooth Volume Resetting. Some ROM's it gets stuck at a low volume. That I can increase each time but it keeps reverting.
4) Solid 100% GPS. All Sense based ROMs work great. CM7 based ones are crap.
5) Battery as good as Stock or better.
6) ESPT (is a very nice to have but not critical).
7) Don't care about 4G or Eye Candy. But I don't want it to be an Eye sore either.
8) As a poor mans confirmation on Voice Search. I noticed on some Rom if you just say Call Fred Smith (WITHOUT saying on mobile) it will prompt Fred Smith on Mobile or Home. This is great !! So at least you know you got the right person. Then you say Mobile (which it rarely gets wrong). It makes the call. This doesn't work on all ROM's.
9) Good support thread. Some ROMs have very little interaction with chef to help get answers and plugs for some things you'd like to see. Some have very good Chef support but and pounded with stupid chatter and you'd have to live in the thread full time to keep up. It's seems the better support a Chef does pulls in more folks that just want to chat about anything.
10) If Click Send Message from a Contact that could actually FILL the To: Phone Number. A lot of ROM's this doesn't work on. Some depend on a Cache that you have an ongoing thread.
I have not tried alternate kernels with Sense Based ROM's perhaps that would solve some bluetooth issues.
CM7 Build 38 looked promising at first glance. But it fell on its face with GPS. Yes I did all the silly tricks. It always finds location and locks quick. But it just refuses to update while navigating. Will occasionally get an update.
NonSense ROM was very close and I may end up going back to it and perhaps with different Kernels because it suffered from Bluetooth issues. Might be time to upgrade BT headset. It's worked so well for so long I hate to give it up.
These are all stock #15 Kernel with lastest Radio and PRL.
Myn - Over themed (Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder I guess) poor contrasts on Fonts. Yes fixable. But I'm too lazy.
NonSense - Bluetooth is really only issue. Battery about same as Stock.
CM7 BLD 38 - Missed calls GPS will lock but not update.
VP3.70 - This really looks quite good but I just didn't have the time to learn which freaken updates to apply. He leans on theming which is low priority for me.
Rainfreak - Not actually installed, he says he addressed bluetooth issues. But he removed EPST and some other critical Sense based things. Might be easy to put back. But he abandoned support
OMJ - I misspoke in other threads this is a pretty nice stock based ROM and I like his thinking. Fine tune the stock stuff. Currently running. Several of the issues listed above (3,3a, 8).
Sprintlovers - Too close to stock, why bother.
Calkulin - Had stability issues with 1.7.7 (even with undervolt removed). 1.8 seems to have fixed that but still has some of my common issues with Sense Based ROM's with none of the pluses of the Hybrid Sense/ASOP ROMs.
MiekFroyo - Too many ROM's I forget what issues I had but I'm sure in the list above.

I don't think his ROM would solve many of my issues any way. If I see a ROM "Over themed" then tend to have different priorities. And I don't want to spend time customizing it. I want one that starts close. Also if the doesn't see this a serious flaw then I suspect I would see other flaws.
Again, nothing against different chefs. Different strokes for different folks.

I may just go to Vaelpak again (Definitely high on the list). I might just wait for V3.2. His updates are bit confusing. If they are primarily to fix "theme" issues I don't care. Again he has a high priority on Themes. That's fine, lot's folks love that stuff. I don't care about themes.
If VaelPak did some refinements on bluetooth (like Rainfreak said he did). Then it would be high on the list to try again. He spends lot of time on high resolution DPI stuff on themes. Just extra band with I need to sift through. But other threads say it's the Kernel that matters regarding bluetooth. That's not clear.

Also sense based Contacts is one of my major issues.
My favorite ROMs are the Hybrids that have some ASOP Gingerbread components that IMHO do it a little better even though not as Eye Candy-ish in some cases.

Just extra band with I need to sift through. But other threads say it's the Kernel that matters regarding bluetooth. That's not clear.

it is the kernel that matters for bluetooth.

i think its time for you to start learning how to make your own rom but wait your to lazy . i have a feeling no matter what anyone says here will be good enough for you .
enjoy rom hopping ill enjoy my 20 + hours of battery life with miks 4.5 and 17 hours on CM7

Sounds like you've experienced a mix of software, firmware, and hardware issues and blamed them all on the ROM.

Lot of people with broken hardware then because I've seen many of the issues posted by other folks. In fact co-worked has rooted Droid II and he has some very similar issues. Only hardware that may have issues is my headset. But it worked perfect on TP2.
Part of the problems are Froyo 2.2 and some stupid limitation in Google Apps. Which is why I like Hybrid ROMs that have some Gingerbread 2.3 compoents that address some issues.
Full Gingerbread 2.3 ROMs are not ready for prime time yet (for me). I look forward to an official release.

I might, I used Calkulins Kitchen for TP2 and stuck with the same ROM for 7 or so months. But it did take months of F'in around with it to know what works well with what.
Trying to avoid that time sink. By the time I get it "right" Gingerbread 2.3 will probably be out and solve many issues.

I actually DID read the entire thing and everything you posted works in king's Ultra Froyo, for the most part

Well I was kinda under the stupid assumption when I bought the EVO Android worked !!
Now I have to build my own ROM. Geesh.
Again I don't think my list is too demanding. Some issues are pet-peivish, I admit.
Stock battery life is fine with me.
CM7 battery is looking respectable. But the phone fell flat on it's face before it could make it through one battery cycle to really know. When EVERYONE says GPS works I may give CM7 another go. By then my guess is a leaked GingerBread 2.3 will be out.

How did the phone fall flat on its face? GPS issues?
Basically what you're doing is you're "customering" the developers. You're wanting to take the best pieces of all of them and automagically jam pack them into one ROM completely tailored to your needs. The only way this is going to happen is if you dive in and start helping or you build your own ROM. This post would have served much better purposes had you asked if anyone knows of a ROM that does all of these functions instead of going out and slamming each ROM for what it doesn't have. Each dev is going to take their own work their own way and that's the end of the story. If you don't like it, you have a few options, do your own work or quit your *****ing. There are a lot of things that I would LOVE to see in CM but until I bust out my coding chops or start adding to the development table, there's not much I can really do except thank him for his work, donate, and be happy that there are a ton of people out there donating their time to making this **** better.

I've been having the same problem. Calkulin's is the closest I have come

Rom where GPS Works well!

I just want to throw this out there.
I love this rom. I've been experimenting with all the newer roms, 2.2.1, 2.3.2 etc etc. It seems like I have real problems with the gps navigation with the newer roms. So I reinstalled this rom to test it out and I had forgot how well this rom works. The gps connected quickly, no problems at all. Not having gps navigation was bugging the sh** it out me, so thank God this is a steady Rom to go back to.
Rom Found Here

Funny, every new rom I have used in the last month, none really have any GPS problems.......... maybe Seal beach is stealing all your bandwidth........
