Yep if you will search you´ll find cabs of .30 (older) and also .38 (newer) Manila, but in the newer one are missing "slide" animations (between tabs) and also this installation takes some memory
ohhh i did come across that...so Manilla is the touchflo3d...gotcha thanks...is this info in the wiki? i didnt recall seeing it...
Yesterday, i got an update and my build number is CRC1. I decided i am going to root, does anyone know how I start with this firmware. Also i have debated on all the roms, im still not sure whitch one i should go with. I want to be able to use the HERO Theme. Also is the Hero rom as stable as the other? thanks.

I recommend you start off with Cyanogen. Once you're comfortable enough to experiment, throw on JACHero. The HTC TouchFlo UI is truly great and worth the lack of bluetooth.
The Hero Theme doesn't give you any of the benfits of the actual Hero UI. I previously ran The Dude's w/ the Hero theme and found it was lagged too much and ate too much battery for just being a bit prettier. JACHero on the other hand is a different phone that is superior to the G1 is nearly every way.

thanks for the reply, If i ran JACHero is there any lag? Also would i be able to keep the Stock radio, I noticed this phone has signal in my house, My Iphone and blackberry do not.
also should i even bother with apps2sd because I have a class 4 sd card.
Also anyone know what a PVT board is and how to figure out i have one?
Most of your questions have been answered. Please search. If its ROM related search the Development forum (there is nice sticky at the top of the thread list), if its theme related then it will be in the Theme section.

Yes. To find out if you have a PVT board, hold the camera while you press the power button to turn it on. It will say it at the top

Hi new here. Just got an htc hd2 locked to tmobile. I have done the hardspl ok but now I want to get rid of all the tmobile branding.
I am not sure about the custom roms as want it to look like it does now. What rom do I need to make it look like a standard unbranded hd2 as if it was a sim free model?
Had a good look but just dont know which one to get.
Cheers
Simon.
There is a stickied thread at the begining of the HD2 rom development page, where all the official roms are stored. Although i would personally go for a cooked rom with the speed increase and bug fixes, there are some that dont look any different than a stock rom.

remember you'll have to get the phone's SIM lock off as well as a ROM flash won't get rid of this. you can either get th code off T-Mobile or use one of the pay for service found on the web

Yeah code just been emailed not 5 mins since so unlocked now. Its just the wife wants rid of the tmobile stuff. A cooked rom that looks like stock is what she is after especially if they have less bugs and faster etc. It would be good to have a larger keypad too as its a tad small.
I'd say get the one I'm running (CleanEx - see my sig) pretty much stock but with all the crap removed - very good, fast ROM
remember to flash the radio in my sig first, though

What do you mean by crap?
"crap" - Programs that no one wants or uses like co-pilot, any programs that are missing you can find most in cab format to reinstall on this forum.

Thats cool. I have tomtom to go on it which works anyhow but only has 4 digit postcode? Trying to find great britain postcode files that are 7 digit but to no avail as yet!
She dont like the way it looks, says it too sparse. Can you recomend another? Says things like weather pics etc have gone.
If you want as good as it gets then I'd take a look at Miri's WM 6.5 ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607437
Or Dutty's HG ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634
Ran both myself for a while and both are very good, cutting edge ROMs without all the rubbish that you'll never use
Thanks mate I will check them out. I have Artemis on at the moment which looks nice.
Hey, my long awaited HD2 is coming tmrw!!! WOOHOO! YES!
Okay, all excitement over, what is the first thing I should do?
As in, screen tests, setting tweaks, etc?
Also, can someone step by step go through how to flash a EnergyROM onto the device later, once I have it?
Thanks,
The Gamer in MYJ

Thanks man, I've heard so much good about it, but lately there have been so many bugs/problems being discussed on the forums, that I'm slightly scared.
Okay, thanks for the advice, will do. I just was looking at some ROMs, and saw how awesome Energy looked with MaxManilia haha
Hi there! Welcome to XDA Developers
I see your HD2 is arriving soon! Trust me it is SHINY!!!
And you'll love the way the device balances in your hand. Anyways, i'd suggest first of all to learn how to use the phone. Like, familiarise yourself with the layout, play around with the camera, and best of all flow through the Sense UI.
To learn how to flash ROMS, go to the HD2 Rom development section and head into the HSPL Guide there. Everything is mentioned step-by-step. Follow instructions carefully
That said, i'll strongly advice you try out more than one ROM, as each chef has his/her own unique taste and preferances. You're sure to find a ROM that's "just right" for you!
Remember to install Chainfire's HD2 Driver Patch, as that'll make your device run even smoother. Finally, browse through the General forum, and make sure you check out the Tips and Tricks forum, which is a life saver! If you want, also update your phone's Radio Version (found in the ROM Development Section)

hehe np m8 just play around with it and when the time comes that u say damn i hate this stock rom flash asap xD
And about the bugs/problems they can be fixed, the new roms that are out now cooked by the chefs have no big issues so thers nothing to worry about.
And yes EnergyRoms are just awesome i personally have to say best rom ive used so far its fast, stable and its eyecatching everything that i need is in this rom ^^
have a good search on this site there is some cracking tweaks and cabs oout there, i have flashed alot of roms lol i have a problem but found one i love
[ROMeOS4](06MAR-v4.03.210|576MB)[WM655-23541][S-20121412] SO MANY ROMs,WANT THE BEST
is defo worth a go, also one of the best cabs is
All Opera Mobile/Mini versions: Official thread , use the Opera 10 B3 Repack (No Prompts/Flash Lite/Rotation/More its cracking web browser
and finally u gotta get
Co0kie's Home Tab - Extended QuickLinks, Appointments and More
and his editor, its top notch , hope u enjoy your htc hd2
Thanks
@Elemental_fire
Thanks for the warm welcome! Im a total noob, so thanks for all the info, I will be sure to install the patch, and browse the ROMS section. Im sure its VERY shiny!
@vietprid3
Im sure i'll get tired of the stock ROM quickly, all the others just look amazing haha. Very eye catching!
Thanks, Energy is the first i'm trying!
@DanJohnson19855
Thanks, I will try out that ROM later on, and that cab of the browser looks good
I see everyone uses cookie, and much less of MaxManila (the two kinda i've seen), why is that?

Hey Gamer,
Congrats i'm sure you will be happy with your choice. I would see how the stock rom fairs up for a couple of days nothing against custom roms some of the do look great! A friend of mine uses the ENERGY Roms. But i'm still running on stock just upgraded to 1.66 today but still loving it even though it isn't modded.

Okay, I will be sticking to stock for awhile, just to use it some. What kind of feedback does your friend have about the EnergyROMS? And how do you upgrade to 1.66? Thanks much

I suppose that the cookie mod imitates the iPhone's app screen? Maybe people will be like "My device has 3 UI's in 1: iPhone home which is what the cookie rom seems to do, then there's the WinMo Start button, when you tap that, you get the Program menu...and last but not least...HTC Sense
Plus it gives a more wider base for the HD2 to stand on (if that made Sense)
Mind the pun

Well there are 2 ways of getting the 1.66 Rom, first would be HTC's website, then Support, and go to the ROM update (You'll need to enter some digits found under your phone battery) OR...you can go to the HD2 ROM Development section and then look under the Stock Roms (easier and faster in my opinion than going all the way to HTC's website!)
Ps. EnergyRoms are amazing...you won't know until you try and experiance it for yourself! There are many tweaks etc applied...and it has a cool theme set. You'll also get regular updates

As Mr Elemental_Fire says, I would go for getting the rom via HD2 Development section. I downloaded the from from HTC website and for such a small file it seemed to take ages.(Could of just been the shonkey EU server though)
