Hey guys,
does anyone have a stock rom of the latest winmo?
I've upgraded to the latest UK O2 Rom, 1.72 but I'd like the new UI with the larger buttons, i've started to get my claw of a hand round my HD2 but hitting small little buttons is a bit difficult. So if someone knows where there is a Stock Rom i'd be really appreciative.
Many Thanks,
Luke.
There is no 6.5.x stock ROM now....
HTC support has always sucked at providing the latest software for their handsets.
There is a WM6.5.X stock ROM...but it is not for Leo. I think you can stuck with just WM6.5 ROMs, unless you want to flash a kooked ROM, which is usually far better than a stock ROM.
personalment I think that the stock roms are better than any cooked rom, every single cooked rom that I've tried have some errors or bug and I have tried almost all vercions

very true... you sums up almost everything. the only addition to your comments is that the stock roms suck too... and there is virtually no moving behind after you try some of the cooked roms... unfortunately there is so many chefs but no one concentrate on developing a stable release.

Yeah, agreed. Cooked ROMs are fun to play around with, but in the long run my experience has been you get better stability and battery life from HTC's own ROMs. Some of the stuff from telcos like Vodafone and T-Mobile seems really bad, but the clean ROMs straight from HTC have been the best in my experience.
Sadly though, doesn't seem like HTC is doing anything on the HD2 anymore. Anyone ask them about the next ROM update and whether it might be 6.5.x? It's been basically four months since the last update... I really hope 6.5.x is being planned for the HD2. I never expected the HD2 to be upgradeable to WP7, but they have to give it 6.5.x at least especially since it doesn't look like HTC will have any other flagship WM devices until WP7.

Actually they are all pretty stable, it is more likely the 20 incompatible apps you install and expect to work. Why not give feedback to the chefs about these issues.
Dont forget that to port an OS not designed for a particular device and also make work any OEM UI etc is no easy task, its never going to be perfect (and there's no such thing as perfect in any OS, UI, device) Even if there is a stock WM6.5.x the cooked ROMs will still far excell the stock ROM.
Personally I cook my own ROMs that way I can customize it just how I want, if you think you can do a better job than the other chefs by concentrating on stability then why not learn to cook yourself.

What a load of bollocks and what a useless thread, better closed MODs imo.
Yup mods are tons in Leo, and yet this thread is still open!?
Why would you close this thread? I know cooked ROMs are really popular, but is there something wrong with having a different opinion?
well I think that we have freedom of give our opinions about it, I respect what you say, but to me does not interest me if the cooked roms are 6.5 or 6.5.x , i dont care about how fast it is, or memory or consumption batery, if they are out of errors or bugs, i think that all roms are sufficiently fast.

rom
hey, and i dnt knw if this is what you mean
but there is a clean win mo 6.5.3 rom out by l3v5y.
HOWEVER, it is a COOKED rom BUT comes in 3 "flavours"
there is a simple win mo 6.5.3 rom no sense ui...which is what i think your after
theres a lite and a full version (with htc sense)
i'd post the link but XDA is stopping me because im a new user
so try
/showthread.php?t=576578
hpe it helps
i've tried almost all of the cooked roms and though there are some fantastic features above and beyond what you get from stock rom, there is allways a bug or 2 that dissappoint.
and no, i don't have 20 or so incompatible apps. in fact i don't install anything until i'm happy that the rom is stable enough (which it never is).
despite that, i have much respect for all the cooks! this place wouldn;t be here if it wasn't for them!!

Flashing a new device, I need some suggestions..
Try Energy's Roms. He came out with vanilla flavors and his loaded Roms are fast, so I would imagine the vanillas would be fast as well.
Again as anyone would tell you, picking a Rom that works for your needs is all about preference, but Energy is one of the more popular chefs out there.
Good luck finding one that you like.
I'm quite happy with the Cell Evo rom but its not 100% vanilla. Honestly start flashing roms and try them out for yourself. Each phone and the way its used is going to be different. So you need to find the one that works for you.
What are your thoughts on the best sense roms at the min?
Threads about what is the better ROM are not liked much on XDA. This is because the quality of a ROM is about personal preference.
Also, debating what ROM is best can discriminate some developers that are working hard, just because some people like their ROM less. Other people won't try it out then, while maybe the ROM suits them best.
Besides that, it's just not nice towards the devs. It's like having two artists both comming to you with a painting and then telling to one his/her painting isn't good and to the other his/her painting is much better, while your knowledge about art isn't even so good (at least not so good as the artists).
I do get you want to know what ROM (if that is the case) to choose, but then just look at what the devs say about their ROM and the recent reactions from users. Then you get an idea what to expect. Also, it can't hurt to try them out .
Speaking honestly, when I first joined XDA, I too used to ask questions like the OP. However, my views have changed. Each "Chef" cooks his own rom in a different way, as their roms are aimed at different target groups. Thus each rom will have its own advantages, disadvantages and more, making each rom taste "unique". The only way you know what you like is by trying something new everyday or when the opportunity arises. The same goes with flashing. Download both roms (and more) flash them, spend a few days and see how it feels for you. If you like it, keep it. On the other hand, if you can't be bothered to even flash...why are you on XDA?
Good day, and I don't want to see another post where flaming could occur.
Agreeing with both of the guys/girls..presuming guys, while your intentions are good, its all personal preference.
So people won't answer because its not fair on the dev? I hardly think so, basing a question on personal preference wouldn't harm any support a dev would get from followers
If anything its a positive being compared
Its not like I'm asking for faults, one will have different features not necessarily better just different, all I wanted to know is what made people choose the rom
Maybe a better question would be - what are the main differences between LeeDroid and Revolution? Then you could make an informed decision as to which to try (or which to try first at least).
I'm using LeeDroid now, but I'm curious as to how Revolution differs and if I should give that a shot as well. Doing a bit of a scan of the Revolution thread doesn't show anything obvious, but I'm sure there are differences.
I myself have been browsing both threads as just rooted my DHD & unsure which to give a try first.
Gonna wait for their next updates & see which appears to be the most solid.
Not to sure if I wanna go Sense or NoSense, possibly the latter.
Yes please, i do agree with the comparison making devs feels bad and stuff...
But all some of us wants to know is what are the differences? like lees is targeted at what kind of users? Revolution is more for who... and stuff like that...
Its like some likes the PSP and some the NDS... PSP for more mature and action gamers while NDS is more for the kids and ladies... and of course there are exceptions and thats where flashing both roms comes... but first we just wanna know, what is what?. . .
Pretty please ?
LEEDROID no doubt about it
So what's better? Big Mac or Quarter Pounder? Well it depends who you ask.
Anyway you left out RcmixHD. Which is an equally good rom just different. Some people prefer vanilla ice cream.
Leedroid and Revolution are the most popular but that isn't strictly the same as being the best.
Someone swyped my idea.
Anyone who can explain what the main differences are between the 2 roms?
I am about to flash a custom rom for this phone (first time flash on my dhd)
And i looked at the threads but i dont see the differences.
though here i see there are differences but they arent mentioned.
anybosy wanne explain them?
(not looking for a "who is better" answer, just to know the differences so i can deside what would suit me better)
Thanks!
There is no major differences between ARHD and Leedroid because they both support the ideea of "close to stock as much as possible" ideea but with many optimizations and custom kernels which also gives more battery life and a very smooth experience.
The only thing i would say that differs is the kernels but no major differences i would say because ARHD uses Apache kernel and Leedroid uses his own kernel which has some things from Apache kernel but Apache has some things from lee`s kernel and so on.
Personally i am with Leedroid since 1.1 version and i`m more than satisfied, i found him more experienced but it`s just matter of prefference.
You're best bet is really just to test them
Flash one, make a backup in recovery, use it for a few days and see how you like it.
Flash the other, make another backup, use it for a few days and see how you like that one.
If you like 2nd one best you don't need to do anything else, but if you decide you like the 1st one best just restore the backup.
No one should ever feel tied into one ROM as it's so easy to flash and test others. I used to try 3 or 4 a week on my Hero back when chef's were knocking them out in quick succession
Personally I've only ever used ARHD on my DHD but am keen to try LeeDroid and VillainROM too (I was a big Villain fan on Hero). Problem for me is finding the time!
thanks!
i think i will go with revolution first because i found everything i need for that.
the site for leedroid is a little unclear to me..
I've been using Leeroid for a couple of days. I was hoping for better battery consumption over stock, but the difference isn't substantial. I also find that the auto-brightness is too low for my liking. And there seems to be a couple of transition glitches, as far as I can tell. I plan to use it for a week before trying out Revolution.

Haha, 2009 just called and said hello
LeeDroid it s better for the look but Revolution it s faster than LeeDroid
I have tried LeeDroid only once and it is crap..
I really recommend Android Revolution HD 2.0.12, it is REALLY fast! And ARHD's developing speed is fast. You will get updates almost every week, some times twice... It will include much themes and if you don't like Sense, you can install NoSense mod. I recommend!

You aren't serious are you? Not only are there thousands of threads like this, but that is also a very stupid question if you think about it, as if there was a 'best ROM' everyone would be using it.
Having said that, I would advise sticking to a CM7 ROM for speed and stability, in my experience Sense simply isn't as fast as it's made out to be.
use a miui rom....

When I was typing the Title I didn't get any similar topic to that. Well you see there are many ROM but some of them are better than the others but like I said I don't have the time to try every single ROM to check it for my self thats why I am asking.
For me TBD Sansation XL v3.5 themed or stock. FAST AND STABLE.

You didn't see a single thread remotely like this? Are you f**king kidding me? You clearly spent less than 5 milliseconds searching, otherwise you would have found (I would think literally) hundreds of 'best ROM' threads.
I think any reply to this can only be subjective. There can never be a 'best rom', only a personal favorite. I don't particularly like sense so I use Dorimanx's latest High End Rom. Someone who likes sense will disagree and someone else would say the latest ics build.
For me Dorimanx's rom is the fastest and most stable I've found...I'd recommend it.
Sign a contract and get a new phone...
The best rom is the rom do you like it most. Start installing different roms and see what is good enough for you. Cheers!
I think there is a rule that says not to post such posts...better read the rules before, or the sticky's...
Anyway, as bangorip said this is subjective and depends from lot's of parameters...
From my experience, use wp7 as the standard everyday rom and with dual boot try sd for android but not a sense rom ( it's not as fast in the sd as in nand-my opinion) also if you want only android in nand try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1316632
Φιλικά...
Yes a little more searching would have showed you that you are hardly the first to ask this question. By asking what is the best rom for you that's like asking what is the best outfit for you, or the best car for you. It's impossible for anyone to tell you what is best for you.
Now there are a lot of options from Sense to AOSP to CM7/CM9 to MIUI to Touchwiz and so on.
Your refusal to sample them all speaks to your impatience, this is typically a developer forum so I suggest doing your own research and not asking anyone here to tell you what is best. Experimenting will be the only way to tell you what is best but I can list some things about the different roms
CM7: Fast and stable GB, everything works here.
AOSP: Same as CM7 but with not as many options, just straight Android to the core
CM9: ICS roms, still in the early builds but with almost everything working. A few issues arise here and there so you may want to wait until deveolpment furthers
MIUI: Huge options for customization and everything works (in GB of course, the MIUI ICS roms are at the same level as CM9)
Sense: You have Sense 2.1 Froyo with everything working (except 720p I believe) Or you can move to GB with Sense 2.1-3.5 with everything except video recording working properly. Sense naturally is slower though as it is pretty resource heavy. But the efforts of the devs have brought Sense 3.5 to near CM7 speed and usability.
Dorimanx's rom
New Dorimanx's rom is the best for you. Witch i tried...
@chrisrj28 that was an answer I was looking for.
First of all sorry to all you DEVs and Users. But I think it's worthy to ask this. I have searched it but haven't found any thread with satisfactory answer. So I am posting here.
I know many of you wont find it good. But this is important. I am new with HD2 device. There are many of ROMs out here from last couple of years. People actually can't flash them all to test or surf almost 10K pages to know it.
so I request you all of you guys as per your personal experience which ROMs are good to use. It is not necessary to be stable but yes it should be worthy.
Please share you experience with ROMs.
If u looking for an good cm gingerbread SD build look no further the AmericanAndroid hasn't been updated in a while but it is a smooth daily build.
If u looking for a good nand build, I would go with IcecreamTosti v1.1 everything is fully working in the rom, an too me its the best daily driver ics build i tryed to date. . .

I've tried a few, but I always come back to HyperDroid. It's smooth and fast and has an excellent cast of developers that are helpful. It is a huge thread and can seems a little bit overwhelming at first, but I think it's well worth doing the research.
The other two mentioned above are solid builds as well. I have not tried AmericANDroid nor the Tosti series, but I haven't read anything nasty or bad about the two.
If your looking for a good Sense based ROM you can try the Energy series. A very solid build, but it is a resource hog.
READ every page prior to installing the rom. You'll be glad you did. You can find out alot about what you're looking for in this way.
Good luck and happy hunting!
And welcome to the HD2 family!
You will never get a satisfactory answer on a thread like this, because your question is subjective. I don't know how many times I've had to explain this
Having said that, my recommendation is NexusHD2 (see, you have 4 different answers in 3 replies).

Yel. I agree too. Hyperdroid is the fastest, smoothest and the most stable build ive tried. But it doesnt really matter. One rom maybe functioning well on one HD2 and it may be messed up on another. So i guess you really have to use the trial and error method

its seems it gonna hard to decide which one is good. Every user has their own prospective. But still I am finding it quite usefull. And i believe people who are new to this device they can also be the beneficiary. Thx guys.
I think ill flash few builds by our awesome devs and then start building it by own...
Throwing in another vote for NexusHD2. Consistently a fast and reliable daily build.
I can still see the worth of threads like this. I just so happened to be looking for the most reliable ICS rom now that we have HWA
I am not an expert, just a regular user. I have used AmericanAndroid, Hyperdroid and JaguarMIUI. I like JaguarMIUI, it's pretty stable and light. GPS lock down took only a few seconds. That is important to me as I travel a lot. Also battery life seems to last longer. I only have problem with Hotmail apps when using JaguarMIUI, as I won't be able to add contact, other than that, all is fine.
True we wont get a definitive answer here, but will at least sort the wheat from the chaff.
I use NexusHD2 HWA Build by tytung - have had no problems what so ever since it became HWA.
I used to run AmeriCan Android GB build, and tbh found it buggy and slow, but probably wasn't the latest build, cant remember now, has been months since I used it.
Hyperdroid seems to be a very solid build, especially for us fans of CyanogenMod.
As I am a fan of Tytung's work I would likely try NexusHD2-Gingerbread V3.2a, if I for some reason-such as needing to save space due to bad blocks, etc; though it is AOSP as opposed to CM.
Im new to this android world but im a fan of the hyperdroid. Cosmetically, im a fan of the coredroid..
Question.. is there a way to get the visual upgrades like on coredroid, but have them integrated into the hyperdroid. ????
Because I´ve WPH too , im must yuse SD builds. My favorite is the Tostidroid. But the last builds had many random reboots so I used MIUI ICS for a while (3 days ). The Nexus HD is goot too, but i love Tostidroid has more options...
And i think the MIUI rom was the most smoth and stable ICS ROM. But the b40 of Tostidroid is now very stable too... Before i Installed WPH I had NexusHD rom @ NAND and it was not bad.
If you are looking for a ICS build Nexus HD and MIUI ICS are the best for daily use...
If you don´t want WPH install the Nexus too Nand that you have a 100% working system for daily use and test the other ROMs as SD builds...
well i would personally recommend miui roms. it is a pain in the ass to solve all the problems that come with it( for me it is the ultra low internal storage and bootloops, but the newer versions doesnt have a bootloop) and for the low storage i am trying to make a ext3 partition. but after that.. WOW! beautiful like no other(even ios not and no, i am no apple fanboy) smooth, perfect build-in apps, good at multitasking, fast... just perfect.
Since November '11 I'm testing a lot of roms, but there was never a Rom which is the best for me.
But then I found myMIUI from the User 'Aternus'. This ROM is my favourite one, its stable, fast and very smooth. The only bad thins is, that it isn't multilingual, but Aternus said, it will come with Jelly Bean
Test the Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639932), I love it :fingers-crossed:
To me the best rum is Pixeldroid Last Edition RC9 Rom with AROMA INSTALLER/HTC Sensation XL
But unfortunately there are a large drain on the battery
