Im fairly new here too. I recently installed Artemis_Touch_Vanilla_4.02 on a vista pc with no problems. The whole thing is far more easyer than you might think. As long as you follow the guide exactly you should be cool. I'll help you step by step if you like. PM me.

depends on what you mean by "authentic". flashing a new rom will NOT SIM-unlock your device. you might however lose any warranty...not sure about this, i never cared =)
if you are flashing a new rom, you should use USPL by pof to temporarily cid-unlock your device. if you KNOW your device is not cid-locked, you dont have to do this, but doing it anyway will not do any harm. i recommend using USPL everytime you flash a rom to your device.
if you use meschle's ROM as suggested by leethedon1 (i second that) USPL will be included in the download. just follow the steps.

I am looking for a rom which will give me better response time than the current one. Also I am looking for a very good rom which is stable. One more question. After flashing the rom with a new one, if I don't like it, is there a way to go back to the original rom?

since i dont know your current ROM i cant say anything about "better", "faster" or "more stable". however, meschle's 4.02 vanilla (and also lite) is one of the fastest and most stable ROM i tried. and i tried quite a lot...

you can't go back. what you can do is flash any other ROM (including your original ROM, as long as you have it somewhere). dumping your current ROM is possible, search this forum. however, that's advanced stuff.

[Q] My HD2 has arrived is it wrong that I am excited ?

Hi Guys MY HTC HD2 has arrived I am excited about getting this dual booting and more so about Android !
I am going to try Chuckys WM ROM combined with MDJ's Android.
32gb mem card already formated to FAT32 downloaded HSPL and boot loader and Radio so all ready to go tonight when I get home from work !
Anything else I need to know ?

Depending on what's already on the phone (assuming it's a new one), you may not need HSPL and then a ROM flash. The latest stock ROM comes with a radio version 2.15.50 which is great for running Android. If that's the case then you'll just need Android and a bootloader (not that you really need a bootloader, but you know what I mean.)
When you turn it on, look for the numbers in the bottom left of the screen. The version number prefixed with an "R" is the radio.
If you do need to upgrade the radio, then your list above is all you'll need.
Enjoy!

Hey guys just thought I would post my experience.
Phone arrived yesterday as I said my phone was running a non compatible android radio so I upgraded to HSPL then upgraded radio to a .50 then used the stock WM6 rom with DROID Sense 0.8 but I found that I could get no WIFI or MObile Data at all.
I then installed MDJ Evolution 1.7 and have been running since yesterday perfectly everything works perfect !
Just some questions:-
How do I backup my data is it just the data.img file I need for all apps downloaded etc ?
I notice that when I synched with my outlook I have multiple contacts i.e. because I have them listed as business card with several contact numbers so I presume there is no way around this ?
Whats the best way to get hotmail on the phone via web browser or is there a windows live type plugin ?
Loving the Android I must say its my first experience with Android anyway but loving the HD2 and Android and the ability to keep WM in case a WM7 ROM surfaces
Thanks for your advice and help on here guys !

nooby question about updateing

Hi guys, I followed this guide yesterday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246040
(great guide)
Now have Windows phone 7 running. I did not want to install the beta version of mango on my phone though and stoped once running nodo. I am a bit noobish and have a few questions. Mango has been officially reliesed if i'm not mistaken. Will there be an update in the zune software if i wait patiently? If not, how do i go about updating to the real mango?

Hi!
Yuki / XBmod's release is updatable The updates should arrive in Zune one by one but you could also try the Cab thread in the Development section - There you can download all the cabs that are required for your phone to update to 7740 (latest stable build). As ab alternative you could try one of the other builds that are in here - They are already updated when you install them! Only backside is that they are not updatable... Yet! Several developers are working on updatable versions of their rom.
Any more questions? Feel free to ask!

Hey mate, thanks for the reply. I've been looking into update methods and it's really hard because the internet talks about different methods, other pages mention the beta, but just call it mango, so that makes it hard. I tried the force update method in the zune store but failed after about an hour of trying. Could you please link me to the cab page you mentioned, and can i use these cabs to upgrade from 7392, because all the pages i looked at said you had to go from the previos version. If i do need to go back to the previous version, can i just use the revirt method oin the zune store or am i going to have to flash everything all over again? Thankyou.

Here is the link:

I don't think you have to revert to older versions but I cannot guarantee that it will work! If it fails then yes you'll have to install from the beginning again

[Q] Omnia 7 Custom Rom WP 7.8 build 7.10.8862.144

Hi guys,
I'm looking for omnia 7 custom rom build 7.10.8862.144 (that fixes live tiles bug).
Do you know if someone released this rom? I hope that Mi7rom help us!
On my Omnia I've already Mi7Rom Nokia Ed 7.10.8773.98 (WP 7.5)
Thank you so much

it seems you have to wait for the dynamics2.2 if you wont a custom 8862
or install the old dynamics2 and then update it with zune, the root and unlock will remain

[Tutorial] Keeping WP7 Updated

Hi, XDA Members.
Sorry ahead of time for the wall of text.
I'm a fellow HTC 7 Trophy (Spark_W) user who was stuck in a 2 year plan. When I bought my phone new through Verizion, it shipped with the NoDo update and it took Zune a quite a bit of time to download the updates via a different sprint cell with unlimited. This was before I found about custom roms. I then proceeded to follow TheXev's instructions for downgrading (which required me to download another large file) and installing dft's rspl and then hspl (not as big).
I had been using the 8835 (assumed to be the 7.8 beta rom) by TheXev and I had looked around for a 8858 rom in the past. Then, Nokser and another individual, HD2Owner, had created roms for us. While Norkser hadn't owned a trophy himself as noted in his first post, I wish I had knew about manual updates through Zune.
Most of us xda members had began to browse other sites to find a rom or just stuck with their old rom because of its stability. I had just stuck with it expecting TheXev to come back with a stable rom. I wanted to test Nokser's rom to see if it worked. And it was quite exceptional at the time I had installed it via the tools that had came with it.
I had wanted to add more custom things into my own rom, such as a custom startup image like in a few other roms, but I had never saw anything specific for the Trophy, as TheXev has stated this is a picky device. I had began to follow the guide how to "cooker" a rom, and kinda fell short of making a rom as the guide recommended starting with someone else's roms. It was much more difficult than I had imagined, because people partially encrypt/scramble their roms. When I went to make it after finding out there are few unencrypted roms, I needed to find individual files that need updated from different phones, and I outright dropped it.
Anyways, it was nice knowing that there was a tool that simplified updates for those users that are still on older roms. I needed to go to the Official WP7 Updates List up to WP 7.8 + ALL LANGUAGES complete + OEM updates and download all the packages that include the language packs one might need and then the updates. I already was on 8858 and needed to go from 7.10.8858.136 to 7.10.8860.142 and 7.10.8860.142 - 7.10.8862.144 (these are difference files so they are only a few kilobytes).
From the CAB list guide:
You need to go through the list of CAB's very carefully. Select all the packages you need and download them:
All the core OS updates from the version you have to the version you want to have.
All the language-updates from the version you have to the version you want to have.
All the new language-updates you want to add from the first version available to the version you want to have.
All the OEM updates for the Brand/Model of your device.

You need to download EasyWP7Updater and extract the program anywhere. Then make sure Zune is closed before starting. It will remind you to do so. Then press "Install already downloaded cabs". Then "Add Cabs" Then, Send cabs. Just to make sure to press the button to backup. Its a good idea do it, because one of the updates might not be installed incorrectly. I also ran WPBackup. It requires WMDC installed along with Zune running in the background. I used WPBackup supplementary to backup my apps, for backing everything up and deploying it anytime if needed and it can be repeated more often than then the update process.

Thanks for the thorough post.

I updated the original post. Hopefully a moderator can come around and sticky this.
