I've got a stock Sprint ROM in which I'm using the Advanced Config Tool and I'm curious is a custom ROM would be significantly better (faster, longer battery life, etc). Anyone have any insight on this matter?
I had a Touch that I bounced around to various ROMS, only go to back to stock Sprint for the stability. So, rather then doing the same with the Diamond, I'm looking for some advise as to what I'm getting already (with the advanced config tool).

just try the tool for your self....whats the worst you can do...a hardrest
if you mess things up
Oh no, I am using the tool and I like it. I was just curious if anyone knows how much faster an all out custom ROM would be... Yes, I could flash some myself, but that would be a lot of work if I just have to go back to stock (as I did with the Touch). But, if the custom ROM is significantly better then the advanced config tool alone, then I might consider giving it a try.

I tweaked my phone as much as i could and did improve but Shine On 2.4 is faster!
I would rather use a cooked Rom because, the the chefs (almost ) always know what they're doing, and they have the experience with tweaking to perfection.
Sometimes when they experiment with things it causes unstability, but they're only doing it to develope the perfect Rom. When using the cooked Rom's you alsow contribute to the chef work, and to this forum, in the search for perfection.
Is there a poll to compare all ROM's that are out there?

Significantly faster....no question!
Why?? Lots of reasons...from more available memory ("junk" removed), better memory management to page pooling up to 16mB
Most likely more stable as well (if using a well tested ROM)
Read thru the posts and convince yourself.........
You can only do so much tweaking with registry and/or Advanced Config. Further improvements needs to be cooked into the ROM.
Ok... So it sounds like there is fairly significant difference between the tweak tool and a custom rom. I had figured as much, but I was hoping the tool would have been close, because I just got all my icons set up perfectly.
But, I hate having the knowledge that the phone could be better, faster, etc. Too bad HTC or Sprint or whoever couldn't just get it right from the start! Oh well, I'm going to try a custom ROM one of these days...
Thanks Gang! Oh, and a bit off topic, but when I go to the custom ROM, I'm going to lose the Sprint crap, but the one item I actually use is Sprint music. I bet I can find a cab with it, but I am also going to lose the Sprint Music icon on the Music tab of TF3d. Any way to get it back there? Thanks.
I think AlphaZero has a ROM called "V7 SprintFlavor" that has all the Sprint stuff. Check it out.
I am a little new to XDA...but I cant really find a straight answer to a question I have.
I just purchased the tilt2...love it. Unfortunately, I watched videos on the new hd2, and while I don't want the phone....gotta have my keyboard....I think a couple of the touchflo tabs make MUCH more sense.
So basically, I am wondering if cooks on here feel that at some point they will be able to offer some of those features in .cab files?
I dont want a whole new rom, I tried that on my original tilt...and it just never worked perfect, gps problems, some menus didnt look right. I really just want the phone to work perfectly like at&t intended...but with the new contacts tab, email tab, and maybe the new home screen that allows weather backgrounds and I believe allows a couple contacts straight on it.
Anyway...based on how people have been able to pull apart software for these phones...does this sound possible? or is touchflo simply too complicated to only pull parts of it out? I wouldnt want to simply entirely replace my at&t tilt 2 touchflo version with the hd2 version because I have heard that you would lose landscape mode for touchflo?
Anyway...just wondering if I can hope for this...or if I simply need to accept what I have until the touch pro 3 comes out?
p.s. I am assuming I would need that new version for what I wanted..unless hacks are possible? Basically I love the new email tab that allows you to read your emails right from there instead of showing them in an envelope.
I like the new contacts tab much better....more functional than that rotating carousel thing.
New today screen is nice with the weather background...and I like the idea of contacts on that screen.
No, you aren't going be able to change your TF3D with a simple .cab file.
It would require the flashing of a new ROM.
the HD2 'Sense' interface is Manila 2.5 and is in many ROMs over at the development section. Since Manila 2.5 is only designed for the HD2, when using the interface there is no landscape support for when the keyboard is slid out.
No one in xda-deveolopers has shown the ability to be able to take some features from Manila 2.1 and mix them with 2.5. If they could, I'm sure HTC would hire them in a heartbeat. HTC has an entire team of paid workers that create the Manilas. It takes time and skill and LOTS of work.
I would recommend just flashing a good Manila 2.1 ROM. Get rid of your AT&T bloatware. NGRZ's Photon ROM (in my signature) is a good place to start. It is very fast, stable, and comes preloaded with a ton of useful apps.
You will have less problems with his ROM than AT&T's stock ROM.

Thank you for the response...I figured that was the case.
So let me ask you...I am very nervous about flashing the ROM on my brand new expensive phone. My main concerns:
1. Is their an easy way to go back to the stock setup?
2. When i flashed my first tilt, I had radio problems that never really got fixed
3. What advantage does that ROM have over the stock...other than space? I find the stock ROM has pretty decent speed honestly
4. My main concern: I don't like losing any of the functionality of the stock ROM...I actually like the default ATT opera page, etc.
5. If I could find a ROM that would simply remove things like the ATT mall, but otherwise leave everything else stock..and work just as good as stock...gps, opera, keyboard mapping, etc. I would do it. Oh...I wouldnt mind having custom wallpaper on all tabs.

Here's some feedback:
1. Right now, no -- since the Tilt2 has just been released, many folks are waiting for someone to successfully dump the stock ROM in case we need to go back.
2. Many of the custom ROMs do not include a new radio -- you'll just have to read up and decide which ones you like.
3. Every custom ROM has a different advantage. In some cases its visual, in other cases speed, stability, and some are just highly experimental with features taken from other phones.
4/5. Again since the Tilt2 is so new, give it a little time. Usually there are some chefs who feel the same way you do and will use a stock ROM and just make minor tweaks like taking out some unnecessary bloat and adding some useful programs.
I would recommend if the stock ROM is working ok for you, to stick with it for the time being until some more ATT specific ROMs start getting developed and you find one that will suit your individual needs.

4/5. Perfect, thats a great answer for me. I think that's what I really want is a stock ROM with some tweaks for speed and bloat.
A. Does a stock tweaked ROM usually mean I dont need to worry about fiddling with radios? and the GPS and stuff works just like stock?
B. Any specific ROM chefs that you know of that I should follow that typically do these types of ROMs?
oh..this is unrelated, but does anyone know why I am having issues running software that seems to work fine on other touch pro 2's...I keep getting errors about .net versions being wrong. I tried installing the .net compact package from Microsoft..but it just says it fails during install. This is kind of a pain because I can't get some really common apps to install.
Hi, I have the Sprint Touch Pro 2 and have a couple basic questions. Is this considered the Rhodium 400 or how do I determine? And I see that there are six main threads here regarding the "HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2" but only the last one mentions CDMA. So does that mean since mine is CDMA that all of the other five threads of fixes, cabs, themes and so on do not apply to me? Or if some of them do, how will I know if what is being discussed will apply to CDMA as well as GSM?
Thanks
Most of the Cabs will work just fine depending on what they are supposed to do. The one think you have to be very careful of is the difference in ROMs. They are not interchangable but it is unlikely that you will be playing with them for a while at least.
The CDMA catagory is more for CDMA specific stuff. The other catagories will have stuff that will work for both GSM and CDMA with the usual caveat of depending what they are for.
The RHOD400 is indeed the Sprint Touch Pro2, though you can always find this yourself by looking under the battery of your device, and searching for the string of text that says RHODXXX, where XXX is a number. The various subforums (with the exception of the ROM Development and CDMA Rhodium subforums) are pretty much model independent.
The biggest thing to watch out for is flashing GSM radios and OS ROMs on your CDMA device, as flashing those can and often will brick your device. I can't tell you how many times I've seen people with completely bricked Rhodiums because they flashed an incompatible radio ROM. If you want to flash a new OS ROM or radio ROM, absolutely make sure it's CDMA, as the GSM ones found here often won't say they're GSM. Since XDA-Developers is primarily GSM, a good place to look for CDMA Rhodium ROMs is PPCGeeks, here.
Ok guys thanks for the help. Thr ROM I am really hoping to try is Juicy's LEO WM 6.5 Sense 2.5 that looks pretty much eaxctly like the stock HD2 UI, including the animated weather on the home screen background. Is that available here set up to work on the Sprint Touch Pro 2, without a lot of fixing issues after the flash? I know there seems to be a MMS issue according to the thread I saw over at PPCGeeks. But I am hoping to find one here that loads and has the phone and data working without a lot of grief. And a cab available to fix the MMS that simply is proven to work for everyone. Any help would be much appreciated. I have already unlocked the phone and am very familiar with flashing ROMS. I did it extensivly on my previous Touch Vouge and Touch Pro Raphael. But only used the NFSFAN ROMs as they were always the shi_.
juicy r10 is going to be kinda slow compared to some other roms, mainly because of sense 2.5. If you are stuck on using sense 2.5 juicy or energy leo roms are probably the best, but still are much less responsive than any sense 2.1 rom.
Honestly if you want a stable rom (no daily soft reset) I would suggest MightyRom or Energy Pheonix. Some people also like the Mr.X 2.1 ROM. Basically our processor is just slightly not good enough to keep up with 2.5 IMO.

Ok thanks for the comments. Are either of the ones suggested available in a Sprint CDMA version that has the provisioning working right out of the gate. And do they have the Twitter tab in the sense UI?
Thanks,
Sense 2.1 (for GSM at least, maybe also for CDMA) has animated weather, but only for the default background. The attached cab allows for animated weather on any background. Should work on CDMA since it's not a Rom, but I can't assure anything.
All credits to the programer, I found this cab in a few weeks ago from a file sharing service, I thought I bookmarked the address but I didn't.

Mightyrom does not have sprint provisioning out of the gate, you will have to do a quick/easy programming. Install the rom, do 1-2 hard resets (I do one from bootloader, one from the clear memory screen), on restart open your start menu, go to system and click carrier provisioning. Load sprint, it will soft reset and then you can program your phone.
I'm not sure about the energy rom, I think it does something very similar on the first boot.
Mightyrom comes with the weather animations, it doesn't have the quick launch icons on the today screen though. No twitter tab either.

Well I definately want the quick launch option on the home screen, that is one of the things I like best about the new sense. It kind of reminds me of the original touch flo home screen on the original Touch Vouge for Sprint. I guess I will give the energy rom a shot. Thanks

I have a Tilt 2, and although I love the phone, had it for two months now, it can be a clunker if I don't power it down frequently. Looking for a good, stable cooked ROM that will speed things up, get rid of the AT$T cotton candy and be able to use all the functions of the phone.
Anyone have a favorite. My current system is stock , (2.1.19183217.0)(is not sense version). Can I use Sense 2.1 or 2.5 on my phone?

The e2 ROM and the WCX ROM are both cooked specifically for the Tilt2. Your hardware keyboard should work with either one with no modifications or additional mapping.
It seems to me that the e2 ROM keeps a few more of the AT&T specific software, but in my opinion both ROM's are pretty much the same with personal preference being the deciding factor.
If you flash just about any other ROM, you will also have to install a cab to remap the keyboard to the AT&T setup, and may even have to do some modifications in the picture messaging.
e2 has a version without HTC Messaging which many people believe presents a lag problem in just about any ROM. He has a version with the older ArcSoft which is probably what you are used to.

People always ask "what is the best ROM", but what is best depends on what you want in the ROM: aesthetics, features vs. lean & fast, what apps are cooked in, etc.
Personally, I've been using the Energy ROM on my Tilt2, and I love it. Great combination of eye candy, speed and stability. After you flash the ROM, just run the Carrier Provisioning in Tools, and it will map the keyboard to the ATT layout. Everything else works perfectly on ATT's network without any tweaking for me, NRG has already figured out the carrier specific settings to make it amazingly easy.
IMHO if you pick a ROM that is designed *specifically* for the Tilt2, then you are restricting your choice greatly. Most/all of the other ROMs should work fine on a Tilt2, just with a cab needed to map the keyboard (which is trivial).
I would ignore the Tilt2 bit, and just pick a ROM that looks good to you, and give it a try.
Yes, you can use either Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5 on your phone, also there are other front-ends too, like Cookie, MaxSense, Titanium, etc, etc.

If you have a cab which will map the ENTIRE AT&T Tilt2 keyboard, I'd like for you to post it. I agree that it is trivial, BUT, I've never yet found a keyboard cab which will map ALL keys, including the OK key, to work properly. I have tried many different ROMs on my wife's Tilt2, and yes, many of them look great. However, IF it is important to you to have the AT&T mapping exactly right on all keys, like it is to my wife, I have not found any of the others which will do that with an "add-on" keyboard mapping cab. As I said in the beginning, if you have one which will do this, please, please, please, send it my way. It would open many doors, and many other ROMs for me to try.
Personally, I never even open the hardware keyboard on my Verizon Touch Pro2, so keyboard mapping is not a big deal to me, but the first thing she does when she pulls the Tilt2 out of her purse is pop open the keyboard, so that has been a big issue in our search for a good ROM for her use.

The problem I've had with Engery rom and every other rom that insists upon using transparent sliders and clocks is the "bleeding" through on the contacts page. In my opinion, that bleeding through looks very unprofessional and unfinished. See picture below:

Well, it is not really the last row, it scrolls up for even more rows. Once you scroll up past the slider bar, it would visible.
I like the energy roms but the e2 and wcx are the only ones with AT&Ts agps settings it seems. I've tried the .cab of AT&T nokia and google settings but it's still difficult getting a lock on other "generic" roms instead of the AT&T specific roms.

try this. i use it on my tilt2 and havnt found any mapping issues. except for the OK key LOL but the OK key pops up bottom right, right next to you're thumb anyway.
Energy Rom gets my vote....awesome...a lot faster and more responsive than stock plus it looks better to me as well.
Guys, I have no need for ATT bloatware, HTC messaging, MS stuff like Marketplace, MyPhone, etc. Even stock music player is crap. Prefer to install separate programs. Free MB is of great interest. ROM working with GPS is a must. Functionality, speed, free space is much preferable to looks.
Could you give me some leads if you encountered any "lite" ROMs for ATT Tilt 2 out there?
Thanks.

Truer words were never spoken. I have no idea how, or when, even why it started. But man I'd like to have a quarter for every minute I've patrolled these forums searching for that ever elusive perfect ROM.
My name is Gary . . .and I'm a ROM junkie . . .
I have had my tilt2 for 3 weeks and I searched and searched for specific tilt2 stuff. Even though I was really nervous to flash it I flashed the "Energy Standard sense" ROM and it was great. I used the TILT2 keyboard cab and it worked perfectly. I use my Tilt2 on T-mobile so it had provisioning for that cooked in as well. I wanted a little more "polish" and adjustment to it and so I now have the "Energy Dinik Glass" (June.7) ROM and it is amazing! No issues so far.
Just an fyi...for some reason all the energy roms I have flashed have really slow touch sensitivity but within a few minutes and a soft reset everything is speedy as normal.

Chasing the ROM dragon *LOL*
Guys, I must confess that I'm guilty of the same thing as well. However, I think that part of it is encoded into our DNA. The other part (if you're married to a penny pincher like I am) comes from our spouses. Let's be honest about this...guys love gadgets. That's why we have Spike TV & G4 (Thank God for G4!!) My point is this...since my wife won't let me go and buy the next latest, greatest phone each time a better one comes out, my only alternative is to change what I already have - hence the constant changing of ROMs.
Recently, it became a necessity because I had been a FUZE user and was devoted to TAEL's ROMs for quite some time. But then when I got the new car and the Tilt 2 was the only thing that would work on it (bluetooth car audio functions), I knew where I had to go to make the boring 'stock' Tilt 2 into something that I could use and be efficient and effective in my job. That's where NRG comes in. With no disrespect to the other ROM makers in the Tilt 2 forum, NRG has come through for me time and again. There are very nice things from the other guys, but NRG seems to know exactly what I NEED and he puts it out there. Mind you, I'm not even talking about the bleeding edge 23xxx stuff. I'm merely talking about the tried and true stable 21xxx ROMs that get delivered. Sure there's an occasional bug sometimes (who hasn't seen one?), but he's quick to fix them and the next release to us. (Which reminds me, I need to make a donation to him today because he has pulled my ass from the fire more times than I care to count.)
I'm sorry if I got on a soapbox, but this whole forum makes me very emotional. Before I knew how to flash ROMs and knew what was out there, a phone was merely a phone. But then all you guys came info my life and you shared your knowledge with me without condescension or bellittling.)
That's my two cents for what it's worth.

I appreciate your post!
I see you are using ROM : EnergyROM 21903/Sense 2.5/Cookie Home Tab/May 16
It looks like I cannot get that anymore, therefore I need to go to:
Energy.RHODIUM.21905.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.11.7z
?
Thanks!
So there's really no way to completely remap the keys on a Touch Pro2 ROM to match the AT&T keyboard? I only got my TP2 a few weeks ago, but I've been travelling and haven't had the internet to test out many new ROMs (just threw on Energy ROM before I left). Been using an unmapped keyboard for a few weeks now...
Just curious if there's a better way.
so far i've tried mighty rom (fat and slow), energy rom(still fst and slow) and sharkie rom (reasonabhle but still not setup 100% and a bit slow).
all 3 have stability issues. requiring a reset at least once and often 2-3 times a week. itks very important that my phone does not lock up as i need the alarm and other things to work continuously.
any suggestions? so far i've only used windows 6.5.x roms as i like the start menu at the bottok. but would 6.5 or 6.1 be more stable?

This ROM is available in two versions...wm6.5 and wm6.5.x....they're both as stable as all heck ...take your pick...I personally prefer 6.5 (21916)...but that's the case on anyones rom I'm using...I don't like the start key on the bottom...I like it on top, where it's supposed to be lol
The device will reboot itself after it starts up for the first time and it's suggested you restart twice afterwards....BUT...DON'T freak out after it restarts itself, it's a built in feature...also...you need to set your time in the windows settings not sense...and if you have any weather location issues, add your city, select it, and then remove it in the "remove locations" screen and you'll be good to go
Sergio76's Core Cell Evo
I recommend trying Sergio76's Core Cell Evo version 4.0 ROM. Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=617142"
When you click on the download link, the file you want is "TP2 Core Cell Evo v4".
If you decide to install the ROM, click on the link in my signature and get the latest patch for this ROM. Follow the instructions provided on how to install the ROM and the patch and you will have the fastest ROM with the most stability and a lot of eye candy! Feel free to ask any questions you may have.
are there any differences between 6.5 and 6.5.x that affect speed or stability? or is it purely cosmetic?
what about 6.1?
6.5.x uses more ram

I should of mentioned I have a Sprint TP2 which needs CDMA roms, neither of the above 2 are CDMA
Would it be best to make a new thread in the CDMA section?

Yes. You need to post this request in the CDMA section.
I suggest Energy.RHODIUM.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.DinikGlass.Jul.04. It has been extremely stable!! I have a custom made app for my job and it has always caused issues for me. With this version of NRG's rom I haven't had any issues!!
Love this ROM.
i'm trying the 21xxx build of titanium energy rom. It's a bit faster but still not snappy like my super oldschool nokia 2690. Anyway so far it has managed to freeze up once right after a phone call. If it freezes again i'll assume it's not the rom thats the issue. Though come to think of it it does seem to freeze up around the time someone calls
Could it perhaps have something to do with the phone part and not anything else? i'm running the latest sprint radio (2.32?) but before that was 1.96? and it still froze using that one. Also I do a task29 before each flash
I read a post somewhere suggesting that I force GSM and also the band as that may stop it freezing. But I can't seem to find a way to force 900mhz or 2100mhz?
Best asking in his thread for support on the ROM
Regards,
WC
