To have the latest and greatest, or one that fits your needs better then what your service provider thinks your needs are.

No worries man, welcome to the community Chances are however you may end up with a few 'Just search!!' answers but I understand there is almost too much info to understand out there but do check out the sticky threads at the top of the HD2 rom development forum as there is a wealth of detail there.
In answer to your question: 'why would anyone want to mod the rom or mess with it? please kindly answer it.'
There are many reasons for doing this, I assume that you come from the 'HTC probably know whats best for their phone as they made it' point of view, this is not always the case.
Let's take a real simple example: There is a limited ammount of space in internal memory and the more you can get the better and some of this space is taken up by pre-installed applications and images that you may never use and some of these can't be removed simply by deleting.
This is where 'cooking' roms comes in: In order to remove those apps you have to create a new OS image (rom) without them in (this is cooking, which is generally performed by experienced people who will publish their roms in the roms forum) and then to be able to get that on your device you need to 'flash' the cooked rom (OS image) onto your device (think of flashing as installing the OS like you would windows from CD on a PC) , and viola you have a new rom on your phone which leaves you more space in internal memory to use for yourself.
There are obviously far more complex reasons for cooking roms (speed improvements, fixes, mods and changes to the UI) but in order to keep this short and simple I've used the above example. If you want to know more check the noob tutorials in the rom forum.
Be careful however, and ensure you read all the information you can search for / find in there as there are some potential pitfalls if you don't do it properly.
Thanks prime! I got it now :]
hi guys!
im all new to this, my HD mini is my first smartphone, and because i have a big affintiy on technical issues, like flashing a custom rom in my mobile device, i am posting right here
As far as i was getting to know, i will need SSPL for flashing a ROM on my device. if i want to make my custom ROM (just removing some things like copilot etc) i gotta use osKitchen. so far, so good.
but my real question is:
my phone provider is A1 mobilkom (i am from austria).
if i would flash my ROM, am i still able to use my phone correctly? because in another thread (dont find anymore this post), one guy wasnt able to find his normal GSM network after flashing another ROM (those shipped ROMs, you know hwat i mean.) ok, things like internet setting for correct UMTS connection can be set after all (access point name, pw etc etc).
is this linked to this radio part, everybody's talkin about?
whats the connex between flashing the ROM and this radio part? i read a lot on this issue for the last few days, but i didnt gain more knowledge on this, therefore i am asking now with this here.
i dont wanna run into troubles, so i am asking you guys for your opinion.
so far
greets from styria
PS thx for all the work for the community!

...Hi.... simply if you wanna something know, you have to before something read...
Ok, hepl: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377 and please, read carefuly...before you do anyting else...
If you have already decided, which way you will go (..It means, how do you wanna flash after your device)...you just chceck after some ROMs in this forum and it's up to you, which one you will try(flash)...
I hope I helped.
As ali1777up was trying to say above, follow this step-by-step guide to flash a new rom. As for which rom to choose, I cannot help you there as the choice is rather large and everyone has their own personal tastes as to what they prefer. Personally I would start with the most used roms, i.e. the threads with the most posts in them and go from there.
Good luck
p.s. I have closed this thread as this question has been asked many times before so I suggest you search
Hi all, Please forgive my ignorance... I have read through so many threads on this forum but cannot figure out which is the best ROM to put on my x8 that does not require flashing a custom kernel on.. last time i attempted that a phone was bricked. All i want is something simple, i have forgotten how to root the phone and but x-restore on but will figure that out. All i want is the newest most capable ROM that works well with everything.. including the GPS and camera, and preferably one that comes with the Google apps like Google maps etc. I liked Floyo but not sure if i should use it again..
Please could you guys advice me on the best steps forward, I really dont wanna mess with unlocking the bootloader unless i really really know how.
its an x 18 -E15i
firmware 2.1 update 1.
Baseband version
M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
Kernel version 2.6.29
[email protected] #1
build number 2.1.1.A.0.6
Once again, i am really sorry for asking something that has been asked before but i really wanna get this right !!!
loads of people here will tell you X rom is better than X rom etc etc but at the end of the day, a rom is a bit like underwear...you either like it and it fits you comfortably (and keeps your bits comfy) or you dont like it etc. so the best idea is search the dev forum for stock kernel roms and try them out it's the only way to go tbh
And before you go posting random Questions again

Hello
I am a completly newby relating to flashing Android to a HD2.
I've read several articles/postings but still am not sure, what I should exactly do. My device still has Windows Mobile 6.5 on it. And i want to permanently replace it with Android (only, no dual boot).
Should i go for NAND in that case?
Is there a completly tutorial available for a completly noob like me, how to securely flash Android on a HD2?
The ROM should be fast with a good battery life, dont need to have an overloaded device...
Thanks so much
Dominik
