Which android or WM 6.5 rom for HTC Touch HD is the best for me to use? I mean, that it has everything working(Im thinking of using WM 6.5 for everyday use, and Android purely for apps and wifi (browsing, facebook, YT(optional), and maybe some music). I'm thinking of putting custom 6.5 rom in my HD. So, can some1 provide me with the best ROM out there and a tutorial to flashing it? I already know how to put Android on phone, just need a nice ROM.It would be great if you could only copy/paste ROM threads. Thanks. And sorry if i violated something on website, but im fairly new, and cant really understand all those tutorials.
P.S. Is HD running WM 6.5 rom better than it running WM 6.1?
Thanks again guys, im really gratefull ^^
WM for battery life
Android is only running properly on SD card builds - so you can have both easily enough.
I like WM6.5 but some say that WM6.1 is faster overall.
Depends what you want.
My blackstone is my work mobile and I have WM6.5 EDGE SWIFT rom on it at the moment, works well - I just need basic functionality out of it really, but battery life is very useful!
I'd love an Android NAND rom on it sometime though
the EDGE rom thread has a tutorial link in it - but the general gist is probably for WM roms:
1) update with HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex (may be slightly different - check the tutorials first!)
2) download BlackstoneAdvancedRUU
3) find and download the rom you want, extract the .nbh and put it with the BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe
4) run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe, task 29, run BlackstoneAdvancedRUU.exe again, task 28 and select your nbh file from the list
follow on screen instructions at all times.
you might want to flash the RADIO: HD_1.17.25.09.nbh too if you havent already got the latest radio...
Ok, i managed to somehow install WM 6.5 and its working well , got iGo on it, and some other apps. Now, which Android is the best for things i posted in my previous post?
(web browsing, music, apps) It doesn't need to have working camera, because i dont really use it, and if i needed it, i'd use it via WM 6.5.
P.S. is it possible to watch movies (.avi; .mkv; etc.) on WM 6.5 and Android?
P.P.S How to connect my phone to PC via WM and via Android?
P.P.P.S What's the status of Android Market's games and apps on Blackstone? Are they all working?
Thank you very much

hi guys i want to know which is the best x7500 rom (the faster, the one that its not stucking all the time...) and if is possible a link with this rom and instractions for that jop thanks...
Currently, in my opinion, is 28002.5.3.0 of AVENGERPENGUIN.
Rapid and stable WM6.5.
This is SPL 3.5
I do not know where you can download now.
If you are interested I can try upload it to FTP.

I may still have copy of this if you need it re-uploading.
Back to the original question, it largely depends on what you want from a rom, what version of windows you want 6.1 or 6.5, do you want a full rom/lite rom, stable but older build or latest but potentially more unstable.
There are many offerings available that should suit your needs, please be aware of what SPL version you have, as mine and I think lennies only work on SPL 3.5
sorry but i am newbei so where can i see what spl i have. i want to use wm6.5 and now i have one rom created by michyprima i think this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409528 so what i need is a rom with good grafics, touchfrendyer stable and with much options(apps)....
I've tried a few, and I personally prefer michyprima's work, especially his clean editions.
The best one I've found is the Athena Project beta 6.5.
Pros-
Really quick
Most apps I've tried work
Cons-
Loads of apps cooked in
I've personally found most of the others I've tried to be slower.
As a complete noob, I've found this thread very appropriate.
I've just scored an X7500 (with strangely dropod branded) - (SPL 3.5).
It is running WM6.1, and I'm keen to upgrade it to 6.5.
I've been using this thread, and
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 <-- that thread to find a 6.5 version.
However, there seems to be a lot of choice, and I haven't been able to find any of the versions quoted in this thread. Although there is a 6.5 clean version by MiChy.
I'm looking for a stable, good, WinMo 6.5. I'm quite happy to have lots of apps, presumably I can uninstall ones I don't like.
The only app I really 'need' is the transcriber, and I'm sure I can install that after the fact.
So... If I don't get much response, I guess i will try out one of the MiChy versions, and see how I go.
Hmmm...
I tried downloading both the MiChy 6.5 ROMs - ie. clean, and 'normal'.
However, my antivirus software doesn't like the downloads...
15/04/2010 6:13:04 p.m. HTTP filter file rs402tl.rapidshare.com/files/220926710/1064829/Athena_SPL3.5_R1_CE_B21500_MiChY.rar probably a variant of Win32/TrojanDropper.Agent trojan connection terminated - quarantined
I'm now trying a very slow download of the 6.5 ROM by avengerpenguin
WM6.5 Build 23060 [v1.02RV][v1.02] 07/10/2009 X7500 ROM (SPL 3.5)
Will see how we go...
Hmmm... I finally downloaded the avengerpenguin ROM, extracted the rar file, and got the same antivirus warning...
I'm guessing the signature for the ROM / uploader / whatever is similar to the virus... I think I'll turn off the AV software, cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Don't worry about anti virus warning; it is just a false alarm. Go download whichever ROM you want. So far the 4/3/10 ROM is to me the best 6.5 ROM.

This is interesting, I have finally got "myCHI 6.1" which is ok but sometimes freezes up, and with thumbs-up feedback of 6.5 ROM, I want to give it a go, so then where can this ROM be safely downloaded with broken links?
Thanks
I am surprised because i have used michy's wm6.1 R0 clean for almost 2 years and i hardly experience any "freeze up."
heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.
Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.
heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.
thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?
No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.
Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......
And the article:

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.
Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it
sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.
okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.
Hi guys.
Has anyone tried or HAS a working ROM for Mini using WM 6.5.5 Latest Build and w/o HTC Sense?
I am trying to find a working cooked ROM if not then I'll make one myself and post it.
I just need to know if there are stock ROMs that'll work for mini.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Windows Mobile 6.5.5 latest possible WORKING and STABLE build
2. List of HTC pre-installed software that can be removed
3. Essential software that need to be installed in the Mini (just to make it work)
Thanks.
Use rom kichen alpha provided in this thread to find essential soft to run hd mini, also yuo can find all preinstalled soft there too. Just download Shipped rom, extract, use kitchen to modify it. Simple like 1.2.3
Most of people doesn't use copilot & google maps software. I don't like Manilla's Footprints & Stock pages, maeybe some business people use it, but i don't. And i think is not so big group off business people, who flashes their phones
Yeah... but the problem is that HTC totally removed tmail.exe in their ROM. What I'm looking for is a ROM that's untouched by HTC but'll work for the Mini. Somehow, I find the stock Message soft from MS is more convenient since it also support threaded messages.
HTC has so much to the OS that it has officially screwed it up and making it hog almost 60% of the resources of the phone. I'm going to build a ROM that'll be free for anyone to customize from scratch without the fear that it's not compatible with the Mini.

Hi
Is there a ROM Upgrade (ANDROID 2.1 or 2.2) for HTC TOUCH HD?
I know there are some files like haret.exe but i like to do it with this
program: rom update utility
( you can search it on google images)
I have upgrade my HTC TOUCH HD to htc touch hd with sense
and now i like to do that but than with android!
Is that possible????
Thanks a lot
and so sorry for my english !!
no, currently there is no complete stand alone nand android rom for the blackstone since it is not yet stable and many features are not working (like bluetooth or 3.5mm). but afaik it is being worked on so there might actually one day be a full android rom for the nand instead of the sd card.
Moved thread to android section

Hey,
I'm sry about my question (and my english, just got "school-english-skills" from Germany, a few years ago ), tried to do the search but found nothing I'm able to understand...
A good friend of mine has a HTC HD Touch (Blackstone?) and wants to flash a "stable" Android Version on it. I'm able to flash the HTC Magic, Wildfire, Desire & co. but I'm not able to understand what I've got to to, wich files I need and what I should do with that.
Could anyone help me ? Linked files that I need and a short instruction would be very very great !
(Please do me a favour and don't say something like "use search" and so on, I need to understand what I have to do with wich files )
Many thanks in advance
There is no flashable android rom for Blackstone yet
exactly. as of now, there is no android rom for the internal flash (nand) to replace the current windows mobile os. but there are still ways to get android working alongside winmo, by simply putting it on the sd card.
basically, what you need is a rom, haret and ts-calibration+startup.txt.
for the rom itself, there are dozens of different roms around this very forum section. look for the most recent ones and compare them by the features needed. some of them hardly have any support for the blackstone hardware, when it comes to camera, sound, BT, 3.5mm jack, calling... and are purely for fun and apps, some others are more suitable for everyday use. make sure to read a few posts of user feedback to get what you want.
most roms come with their own haret package (the winmo program to boot android), which, like the rom itself, needs to be extracted to the sd card root.
ts-calibration is the file needed to store the touch screen calibration, so you don't have to align it yourself, which can be tricky in android.
startup.txt stores the boot commands, which can be altered to your needs, have a look at a few of them and pick the best one (which seems difficult at first, but you can search any command in there to find out what it means). some come with overclocking or different values which can speed up or slow down the device, it set wrong.
and, to sum it all up, here is a tutorial thread describing the whole installation (well, copy) process:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=959831
it is not completely up to date, but you can use the same tutorial, the same haret, ts-calibration and startup for other, newer roms, like blazn 2.2.2 or whatever you want.
Hi,
I still own a HTC HD 2 with windows mobile 6.5 (vodafone) and would like to install android instead. There are several videos how to flash the HD2 and tutorials with links but a lot of them seem to be out of date. So I am looking for an really good running android version (should operate without interruption - newest version is not the focus) and active links for download on win7 (32bit) PC.
Great would be a complete tutorial with active links.
Who can help?
Thanks
Sven

look here http://android.hd2roms.com/all-builds/
usually, the oldest they are, the most stable thay are... if you need stability, install a 2.3.x andtoid with sense 3.5 rom, but remember that there are also new roms that are fast and stable... i've flashed a 4.4.2 rom on my hd2 and it works fawlessly
active links
Thanks for this reply.
Since I'm not experienced in flashing smart phones, it would be great if I could get practical hints and especially precise active links for all necessary downloads (HSPL, Task29, Radio, magldr, CWM, cLK, sense, Rom, nand, ....??? - it's all Greek to me) on a win7 32bit PC.
Thanks in advance
