Hi guys, I'm a little new to this ROM thing and I would like to change mine because it keeps freezing. How do I know which ROM is the best for me and how do I know whats different between them. Sorry for the ignorance but I've read a few of the posts adn feel confident that I can do it I would just like a little help/ insight before I actually just go throwing something on here. Thanks Nyne!

Well, first thing, I think this post belongs over in the General Forum. This is the place for Chef's to post their ROMs. But we'll let a Mod decide that and since I'm not a Mod...
The great thing about flashing ROMs is that there are so many to choose from. I can't tell you from week to week which one is my favorite, but then I do a weekly flash just to stay on top of the latest stuff
If your phone is freezing due to the well-known SMS bug, you can either find a ROM that replaced the HTC Messaging with something more stable.
If you are like me, you will probably pick your first ROM based on looks, and then from there you may end up flashing different ones that satisfy your current needs.
I've never heard of anyone breaking their phone by flashing too much, but you still want to be careful and only flash ROMs that have positive feedback in the comments. At least, at first.
After you get some experience, you may just decide to start going crazy and make your own
Best approach is to read the first few posts of the roms you are interested in, map them against any requirements you have and try a few. Read the various stickies and tutorials carefully first.
Closing this thread now.

don't the ROM geniuses create a NEW thread everytime they create a NEW ROM!!!!!
seriously wading thur loads of pages of an OLD ROM thread about NEW ROM and trying to find the NEW ROM download is exhausting
I'd also like to see a new thread for new ROMs (at least for 'milestones'). The threads of the old ROMs could stay open for a couple of days after the new one is released and then it could be closed with the advice to use the new ROM from that point of time on and with the advice that the old version won't get any support anymore. I think that would be also more comfortable for the chefs. Same with e.g. the CHT-thread a.s.o. - no offense, only an idea
I disagree. There is no need to wade through pages of posts to find the links as in 99.9% of the time they are in the first few posts. Also, many of the little quirks and their fixes often carry over from rom to rom. It's bad enough already with the continual stream of repetitive questions, just imagine how bad it will get if the history of these fixes needs to be repeated in each new thread.
I totality agree with you ClydeB1..
No need to. Take your time read carefully (most of the roms have the date of the last ROM), look for the download link. SIMPLES.
I'm in 2 minds about this. I see the benefit of having all information regarding a ROM and its development all in the same thread, but it can also make it difficult to figure out which versions have which bugs.
I have been reading about ROMs a few times and been turned off becasue of a bunch of bug reports, only to later find they were talking about an ancient version.
Single thread is better

I argee wazaappp. It is actually easier if all the releases are discussed in single thread. This makes it easier to search for particular problem/bug that may have reoccurred in latest rom, which means the solution will be in the same thread instead of multiple thread for each milestone.
The easiest way to get about in rom release threads:
1. Find download links in the 1st page itself
2. All the change logs will be in the 1st page itself
3. Finally go to last page and work your way back few pages and that should be sufficient to get you up to speed with the latest release.
4. When reading any bug report from our fellow Xda members, please check the post date. If older than the latest release date, then most probably it has been fixed or workaround will be posted within few next pages!
Do this and you will agree with us! Hope it helps!

Yes it would help it all NEW ROM is started in a NEW POST
and a link is provided to where the NEW ROM is being discussed, instead of working backward to find the start!!!!

Wow...out of my long explanation, you choose to only read one sentence(item 3)....and disregard all other advantage I pointed out.
Well...too bad thats how it has been all this while and i dont foresee the chefs/mods adding new thread for each milestone release!
To some extent, I can understand the OP´s main point. Especially for newbies,
and maybe even more valid in case of HD2, where the choice of ROMs is massive,
it may take quite some time to find your preferences.
But, after getting used to forums like this, I think it´s great to have one thread
by each chef - this way, it´s much easier for me to find what´s new, or even
to subscribe to my favorite ROM threads.
This will lead to even more littered forum with 9000+ custom ROM threads.
I'd like to see all these custom ROMs in a separate forum so they wouldn't mess with the actual development threads.

newbees here should READ! the more one spends time with XDA the more one
will feel the ease of use and browsing through the Thread. So please, if the mods have time, they'll explain the logic behind this.
A new thread is typically created for new ROM's - not for updates to an existing ROM.
Update ROM's are announced in the original thread. The purpose for keeping all of the posts in an existing ROM thread is to help troubleshoot problems that might come up.
HTH,
I reckon Co0kieMonster's hit the nail on the head. Whenever he releases a new version of CHT, he puts a link in the first post saying "version x.x.x.x stuff starts at this post..."
If people don't read the 1st post then I couldn't care less if they end up reading 600 pages. (Let's face it, if they don't read the 1st post, they're probably just gonna post the same repeated and answered rubbish anyway!)
hey, i have a brand new hd2, i did not change anything on it, the rom is original, the spl is original and so on....
i have 1.66 esteurope ROM, if i upgrade the rom to 2.02 or 2.07 or 2.10 can i go back to 1.66?
I read this on sprint community forums. I'm hoping one of you brilliant devs can make something of it? I downloaded it, but am horrified to use it, as the last one (that said, "test" on it) really jacked up my phone good.
Just passing on this info:
From Android Central When it rains, it pours. Just got word of a new leak for the HTC Sprint Hero. No way of knowing if this is the final 2.1 version, but this one is signed with release keys so you will lose your root for sure if you're into that sort of thing. Anyone who feels brave and wants to try for themselves you can find it here. Remember, this is not official software from any carrier. Using this is at your own risk, and nobody here at Android Central is suggesting you try it, though we're more than happy to show you where it is. Thanks Beezy420! http://www.4shared.com/file/gfPzbRcS/RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2276515_R_si.html Haven't tried it myself...But I figured I'd post it..
Edit: Let me apologize if I posted this in the wrong section or if I was NOT supposed to post this kind of info. I just figured a dev would maybe want a crack at it?
couple hours late

Wooops! I knew I would F up.....sorry guys. Delete this thred. Sorry, I usually dont read the development section =(
hi everyone,
I made this thread to prepare for starting a new thread in the xperia x10 Forum, the thread will be called "THE Guide"
In Case you are wondering why i made a Project thread about it, that is the way i want that thread to be it can't be done by one member, So i need your help
WHY ?
i am tired of new threads people make about very old problem that were solved millions of times, every forum have one of these thread and we shall make this one the best one.
IDEA
it will include everything we can imagine,
My view is like this:
- 1st Post will be the Index, it will contain links to the different parts of the guide
- the next for example 2 pages, each post will be about a different topic, example:
--> Root Post will contain links to differnet rooting methods, FAQ, known issues, etc
--> ROM post, will contain links to ROMS - if any -, Dev in Progress, etc
i hope you get the idea..
WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO:
- this thread will be always fresh and updated, and i can't make that alone, my time won't allow me to manage more than the index post and at most one other topic
- Anyone willing to join this epic Guide, write in this thread and tell me what topic you want to handle
- Any ideas about the topics are always welcome.
- you should have a decent amount of posts, etc.. ( i can't allow someone with 1 post to take part in this, sorry )
Posiible Topics that i came of till now:
- Branding/Debranding
- Rooting
- Market issues
- Battery problem
- themes, and related Howto's
- Dev tools, and related progress ( i think someone should arrange that for new Devs coming to help )
( those what came in my mind in just 2 mins )
BEWARE: THIS IS NOT THE GUIDE THREAD, AS SOON AS THERE ARE ENOUGH PEOPLE AND WE ARRANGE WHO WILL DO WHAT, I WILL CREATE THE THREAD.
so for now lets here what you guys think about it.

Simpsons done it..

Hey OP, just wanted to know, can we post news articles over here as well? If so, I'm a pretty keen observer of all the x10 news(a la Google alerts ) so I wouldn't mind handling that. Let me know
Edit: I just remembered there's already a section for that in this forum... linked in the post above mine. maybe we should ask the mods before we do anything

i will, to make it more organized i'll list everyone who apply here and will pm all at once when we are enough
Ahww ok, sorry bro
Good Idea. I just read PiLOT's post and I really do think we need to help people out that are as clueless as I was when I got my X10
I'll volunteer myself for getting the theme related stuff together. If nobody has already I'll get a list of the most important threads/how tos together.
Should I just post a list here and keep updating it?

No, not in this thread, this thread is for getting people and arranging things.
We need at least 10 people to manage this guide.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yeah, I just meant sort of like a rough draft here...
Anyway, PM me if you want me to get going on this
good idea, i like it a lot, i keep up to date with all x10 news, so il join you
can we please have separate threads for each build.
makes it much easier to navigate through them
and be sure that the questions are related to that specific build and not the previous or older version.
its annoying to browse through 300 pages of same questions asked over and over because they are lost in space.
makes the whole thread kinda useless, im sure many will agree that spent hours trying to go through and find information related to their build
Not gonna happen
You mean a new thread every time a update is released? Its not gonna happen.
Slowly, you have to read, its not that difficult. New thread for every update means the solutions and workaround will be scattered in multiple threads which is EVEN WORSE!!!! Usually chefs will post the post number where the discussion begins for the updated build. Else, just check the date of the posts and read from there.
Hopefully you dont get flamed for asking this

I'm 99.9% sure he means different threads for the AT&T variant t mobile Verizon international etc..
Many other phones have this option but not the 3 it needs to happen for easy navigation
