New to Hermes- ex-wizard!

Hi all!
Allow me to introduce myself, i am, the duke! my windows mobile history is as follows:
SPV E200, SPV C500, i-mate SP3i, Vodafone V1240, Himalaya, Charmer, Magician, Wizard and now.......HERMES! finally!lol
needless to say i am not new to rom flashing, and indeed have also cooked a few roms in my time.
i have a few questions here to which i hope i will get helpful answers and not just some smart-alec telling me to read the wiki! i am in the process of reading the wiki!
This is my first device that uses the newer 'NBH' files opposed to the old NBF's and tornado bootloader.
And there is clearly a few ways to flash, and what appears to me to be the best is using the 'HERMIMG.nbh' file on storage card technique.
my questions are as follows:
1) Which is the QUICKEST and most stable WM6 rom
2) After CID-Unlocking is it worth flashing Hard-SPL?
3) what rom do you reccomend and why?
this is all, please, no smart-arse comments! at the moment i am using the TNT5.0 rom on my wizard
many thanks

Fastest ROM
1.) I always found LVSW ROMs to be the most stable, always deployed without faults. As for the fastest, personally (as a basic users and abuser of a phone), I never found one to be vastly faster than another. Especially WM6 ROMs.
2.) Huh, never even crossed my mind not to.
3.) I'm back to WM5 Original T-Mobile shipped I'm afraid, I braved Schapps and vp3g ROMs (liked them both I must say), but I just had issues that forced me back...

Duke,
1) Not tried all the others on her but Schaps 354c lite is pretty quick.
2) Hard SPL = Always. Safe bet for Tytn Rom burning.
3) Schaps 354c full. Has everything I need and is incredibly stable, which was a key criterion for me. Plus Schaps himself has a Tytn so I was happy to use the Rom knowing he had built and tested it on my device type before throwing it out there.
So when are you going to start cooking then?
WB

My opinion
my Answers are as follows:
I found that the best stable ROM is Schap's 3.54C & 3.6A
Yes you have to do that to prevent bricking your device
I tried several ROMS the best I found in my opinion is Schap's it is a fast rom with an elegant interface I've been using it for more than a month with no problems at all, there are several roms I've tried like TNT2 and Cyphol which is really based majority on Schap's.
If you need any further assistance please PM me. happy flashing.............................

New AT&T Tilt Owner - Need some guidance

Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.

There is a dedicated Kaiser (AKA Tilt) forum
And the stickies there (mainly the Wiki) got it all.

Differences between O2 and Unbranded ROM's

Hi guys,
I've been using the forum for a year or so now and it's great!
I'm now the proud owner of an HD2 from O2 UK and I've already updated the ROM to version 1.72.206.3, which I believe is the latest, but what are the differences between this O2 ROM and the unbranded ROM?
I've done a search and can't seem to find anything to answer this question.
Hope somebody can help.
thanks

The unbranded ROM?
Which ROM? Do you mean the original o2 1.43 ROM? Not much difference that you would recognise. The volume slider in WMP renders correctly in 1.72 whereas in 1.43 it looked like a poo stain in a pair of underpants. Apart from that forget it. I just includes all of the camera, SMS and other hotfixes which had been released between the two versions.
Do you mean cooked ROMs you can download from XDA? The world of difference. Select a ROM with the features you want from the ROM section and flash it as per the instructions given.
Maybe over the next year you will read some of the posts. Maybe even learn a thing or two

if you do in fact mean cooked roms. then alot.
for me (an energy user) the phone no longer crashes every day. i can install all the apps i want and not hit the memory usage on the phone. The phone runs alot faster, smoother has better apps pre-installed and i just like it more?

After having read almost all threads from the beginning it seems that ALL branded HD2s are buggy to excess ..............
I use an unbranded one, and while once in a while I had some probs with 1.43 since 1.48 it runs as smooth as liquid nitrogene.
I have also installed SKTools and Pocket Mechanic, LeoCPUSpeed V.3.0, CHT 1.6 (the ultimate stable version till now), Chainfire´s 3D-driver and before any mod or installed app I do a backup. In case a new app causes probs I just revert to sit as before.
No single hardreset necessary till now since I unpacked it.
Honestly: I was heavily tried to flash a cooked ROM once, but I refrain from THAT as soon as I read in the specific threads about the many problems some of the users then have with lock-ups, freezes, bricking. And branded HD2s ARE cooked ROMS !
CHT, Franwella, Jaguaralani, Smaberg, MooNah and the many others (sorry for not remembering ALL names, but ALL are geniousses) offer such nice little mods that there is no need FOR ME to experiment with cooked ROMS.
Also on Freewarepocketpc - when is new app is issued - as soon as I read "does not work on HD2" I abstain from installing till a stable version is issued.

difference between o2 rom and unbranded rom
hi
in o2 rom wifi router is missing

Hi all,
Thanks for all the input so far.
Previous to having the HD2 I had an X1 which I flashed with various cooked ROM's successfully and it worked quite well.
Really, I just need to know what is missing on the O2 1.72 ROM that is on the equivalent stock ROM which I assume is 1.48 and would I benefit from flashing a stock ROM to the device.
Would it let me do this with no problems and would it affect the warranty, if it needed reapair, if I did flash it with a stock ROM or would I have to go back to the O2 ROM?

Is there a good stock ROM w/out bloatware and maybe a few mods? Need one asap.Advice?

So, I installed the Energy Cookie ROM yesterday. I really like all the icons and whatnot, but for me, it seems to run a little slower than the stock ROM + Tweaks, and the animations are slightly laggy. So, I'm going to change.
I am thinking that since the stock ROM ran so well, maybe that's my best bet. So, if I am possibly switching back anyway, I am wondering if there is a stock'ish ROM that is slightly cooked to remove some bloatware, and I can add my own stock apps back if needed? Anyone know of a good ROM that fits the bill? I'd be open to a chef ROM if it will run faster than stock and has the bugs (at least the vast majority of them) worked out. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Also, and I will search in a sec, but I'm already posting this so I might as well ask (if I find an answer, I'll edit this), since I installed the HSPL, and I flashed the ROM via USB (not the SD Card), am I right in thinking I can just flash a new (TMOUS compatible) ROM without any other mods or processes (I'll hard reset after)?
Thanks. I'll flash something as soon as I get some replies, so bring on the suggestions! Again, Thanks!

Checkin it out now... Thanks!

Best one I've found, right here.

Mine is as stock as you can get for the TMOUS HD2, same layout as EURO HD2...runs fast,stable....and is completely null of TMOUS bloatware....
ROMS:
Regards,
WC

yes, it's called Miri's Rom i belive. i've been using it since may and oh my, everything is smooth and it even has e reader tab and there are like 10 books included! that is the only customized thing in that rom. trust me, you will like it! Unforunately, the version i have has been discontinued, but if you can give me your email address, i can email the rom to you. But the newer one has 4 shortcuts, instead of regular 3 on homepage, and has rssfeed ready. You can see it for your self http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1786 but i like the one that got discontinued because it looks like stock rom rather than custom rom.

I have been on a hunt for the cleanest and fastest stock version, I was about to switch to Wild Child's but I realize this one is a bit more cleaner:

Android noob Q - 3.14 ROM/2.15 Radio

Since the 3.14 ROM contains an Android capable radio - is it still necessary to mess around with HSPL or can I grab an Android ROM, stick it to the SD card root and boot?
I'm interested in running Android but don't want to mess too deeply with my my phone if possible.
I appreciate this may be the sort of dumb question you guys answer all day lol, but dear me there's a lot of threads to sift through

No.
I have a UK unbranded HD2 and am using the stock WM ROM. (as long as you have a 2.08.50 (not 51) radio it will work,
All you need to do is put an Android build on the SD and it will work.
What is the best ROM? what is the best battery life ROM?
These are questions that no one has a straight answer for yet. you gotta try **** yourself and see how you go.
I am in my first week of HD2 hacking, and have tried a few builds, a few niggles, but generally solid.
Battery life is most important to me; I haven't found a combo i am 100% happy with yet.

Dunno what the above post is about, but yes - you can run Android with the latest (3.14) ROM.
I can personally vouch for that as that's what I'm running.

I am also running stock 3.14 with android and no problems.

Thanks guys that's excellent news. I didn't want to fiddle too much with the phone - especially since I know the new ROM and HSPL don't play nice. I was hoping I could do jus as you have described - find an Android build, stick it on my SD and go.
Now all I need is 02 to finally release the ROM for my phone, time to play the waiting game.......oooaaawww the waiting game sucks, let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos!
