What are the recommended patches, downloads, ROMs (I don't really understand many of the terms Radio etc and can't find anywhere on here that puts it into layman's terms) etc for a stable, nice looking Touch HD that's easy to use?
Current details are:
Operator version: 34.119.1.611
ROM version: 1.19.61.1 WWE
ROM date: 11/25/08
Radio version: 1.14.25.24
Protocol version: 52.64.25.34U
Windows is v6.1
Thanks.
a Rom is basically the operating system on your device. You can compare flashing a rom to installing windows on your PC.
You could try flashing a rom with windows mobile 6.5. I recommend Kwbr's rom with Manilla 2.1 if you want speed. This rom has TouchFlo3D just like the rom you are using now. If you want your device to look like the HD2 you could try a rom with Sense 2.5. bear in mind that Sense2.5 can be a bit slow, since it was designed for a phone with twice the speed of our blackstone.
You can find the Kwbr thread here
If you want to flash a rom, you should start by reading this
Thank you for the info and recommendations. The Manila is probably the one I'd use.
Cheers.

As I have put a lot of different cab files on the phone I thought I would start over by flashing with the latest rom, sense & radio versions.
From the Software Information my radio version is _2.07.50.27_2, ROM 1.66.405.2, OS version 5.2.21869.5.082 & Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
What are the latest versions and where can I get them from
thanks
bump - anyone?
to move up from there you still need to go to cooked roms.
I personally don't mind the appearance of the HD2 as it is atm. I have CHTE and Cookies Mod so happy enough. My HD2 does however slow down and freeze a bit atm. So all in all I'm looking for a ROM that keeps the general appearance the same, retains as much functionality as possible but improves the stability and speed of my HD2. I've had a quick look over the ROMs available here but must admit I'm new and would really appreciate some advice as to which one to go for.
Here are my current specs,
OS - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila - 2.5.19211619
ROM - 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM Date - (01/11/10)
Radio - 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol - 15.32.50.07U
Thanks

I'm using Artemis V9.0 and I'm very happy about it. The philosophy of the ROM is "stock rom Philosophy" with additionnal functions, best drivers and stuffs available. The cooker Mr Sternas is following the Rom's thread daily and looks very "pro"
I think I might have looked at this one. I did like it but didn't it have the start buttonmoved to the bottom?
Yes but it's not a mod, it's the way the latest Windows Mobile build are...

Try Energy ROM with cooked in Cookie home tab and GTX Sense themed. It's a completely customized ROM... And don't forget to install chainfire's HD2 3D driver patch, it really makes HTC Sense faster
Oh is it. That's a shame. I lie t up top and out of the way
And perform Task 29 before flashing. It's prettty useful
Damn, I haven't a clue what I am doing. Some fun reading to do!
Task 29 + Artemis V.9 is the best of the best rom... very stable !!
Here's my software info
OS Version
5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
Rom Version
2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Radio version
2.08.50.08_2
I am having a really hard time deciding on a ROM to flash since it will be my first time. I heard that Energy and Kumar are fast and reliable but I wanted to here from people who already have it installed. What do you commend?
1. What I am really aiming for is something really really fast with not that many bugs, eye candy is not a major factor.
2. Will I have problems installing apps from OpenMarket or MarketPlace? For example...will I have a problem installing Garmin on a flashed ROM?
3. Will I lose MMS settings?
4. Is there a ROM that has Cookie Home Tab updated version 1.7.1?
I would really would appreciate for guidance. Thanks

howdy all, im new to the forum havent really had a chance to have much of a browse yet.
have had my hd2 for a while now and tbh im no overly impressed with it, whether or not that's just me not being able to get to grips with it im unsure of, but it always seems to be glitching, takes a while to do anything locks up quite a lot many problems.
just wondering is there anyway of making the whole thing run more smoothly?
any help would be greatly appreciated, and bare with me as im so out of touch with phones nowadays.
Well I assume you are still using the stock Windows Mobile ROM. Do this go to Settings>About Phone>Software Information and tell us what ROM and radio you have right now as I bet you are not on the most recent ROM as the older Windows Mobile ROMs were unstable.
it says im running
rom version 1.43.110.2 (70315) wwe
radio version 2.04.50.22_2

T-Macgnolia was right your HD2 is running stock from way back from launch day...
The latest radio is 2.15.50 while the latest stock rom is somewhere in the 3.0 range
If you want to stick with stock try flashing the latest T-mobile / HTC update... make sure you backup anything and everything because you never know what might happen.
Yeah you are running a much older ROM. I can also tell from that ROM version you are using a EU HD2. Go to HTC.com and looks for ROM upgrades and then enter your serial number that is behind the battery and see what the latest ROM version for your HD2. If it says you can use a 3.14 ROM download it and flash it to your HD2. They should have some instructions on the HTC site telling you how to do this. It is simple really come post back here if you have questions. Also you can flash a custom ROM from here on on XDA, you can run Android from your SD card if you want while still having Windows Mobile on your HD2, you can flash Android to your HD2 doing away with Windows Mobile (I run Android right now), and you can flash Windows Phone 7 to your HD2 of you want. But try out a better stock ROM first as it will give you some experience flashing a ROM. Take a look a my guide in my signature as it will teach you some about what I just mentioned, and AI have links to guides on how to install Android or Windows Phone 7.
Hi,I have an HTC Touch Dual with this spec
Rom vers:1.31.408.09
Data ROM: 10/30/07
Radio ver: 1.58.16.27
Product ver: 25.61.30.03w
I wanna know if can be possible update the preinstalled windows mobile
(6 prof CE 5.2.1622 build 18128.0.4.4) and if can be possible load android and which kind of vers can be mounted on
Sorry for my english,thanks anyway!
Ohai !
So, if you're looking for ROMs and Radios, make sure your phone has been HardSPL.
If you want to install new ROMs, including the Android ROMs, install the latest Radio at first. Here you can find what you're looking for.
Here is the latest WM possible ROM to install on a HTC touch Dual.
For an Android ROM, I think that you can install Foyro, but no Bluetooth or headset are working .
For more ROMs and radios, just take a look here.
Cheers.
