New to custom roms, looking for advice

Like the title says im new to all this custom rom stuff and looking for some insight on whats the best cooked rom for my tilt 2. ive been through 3 fuzes and now 2 of the tilt 2's so im no stranger to windows mobile. Just looking for some help. Thanks in advance

there are honestly thousands of threads with people asking for the best ROM. Here are some guidlines:
1) Best will be a personal opinion
2) Any Sense 2.5 ROM will be less responsive than Sense 2.1
3) Pick a rom that best suits your needs (eye candy, functionality, responsiveness, etc)
Go to the rom forum and sort by most posts, latest post, and most views to get an idea of what everyone else is using and what they like/dislike about it.
Also make sure you flash the correct SPL and Rom (GSM or CDMA).

thanks for the help! I guess i should have been more detailed on what i use my phone for. I text alot, talk of course, use the interned, the weather option, blue tooth and on occasion the wifi, i want something that responds well and is fast. Normally after about 90 days of using a WM phone the lag is just horrible. i just exchanged my phone through ATT for the above reasons. i want something that runs fast yet is stable at the same time.
I know i know i know, have my cake and eat it too to some extent lol

I would suggest going with the NRG Pheonix rom. A lot of people have that as their favorite and it seems to be very stable/speedy. Most of the newer Leo Sense 2.5 roms have slight messaging problems (especially with landscape mode). Never used it but you can rest assured that it is one of the better roms available.

Great! Thanks for all the help! If im reading right here, i need to run a sim unlocker then Hard SPL then install the rom? Correct me if im wrong here, this will be my first attempt. Thanks

I was using energy roms since i got my TP2 and just recently tried the leo cell roms and i am in love with them. They put alot of detail to the small things with the rom but i havent tried the phoenix roms so i cant compare the 2.

Check out htis site maintained by one of the members on this forum, he seems to favor the Energy Roms but has an overview of some other popular ones as well.

It is somewhere to start at least.

HID Bluetooth Profile to Stock ROM?

Hi everyone,
Is it possible to add the HID BT Profile to the Evo stock ROM? I don't feel like flashing a new rom just yet to get this feature added, but was curious if anyone knew of anyways to get HID BT working. Thanks in advance.

That would be awesome. I keep going back to Cyanogen to type my lecture notes with my BT keybaord. I wish Myn's or Fresh had it incorporated but I think the issue is that they both are Sense Roms and not AOSP

Right now the answer is NO, but Teksoft is working on it.
http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2611
They are asking for beta testers for their upcoming version. No word on when they will be testing tho.

Good to hear, thanks for the updates.

Ava has been working on it too. He mentioned it might come around the same time as v10, but it also sounds like he has been busy. You might want to keep up with his twitter.

[Q] G2/SenseUI/Overclock?

Hi Guys n Ladies!
Im new to xda and allow me to say HI! =D
Im here struggling to find information regarding thigs id like to do to my phone!
Currently I have Tmobile G2 with CM7- Overclocked! Im not entirely noob, there are alot of questions i need answered but ill let google search do that!
Now, Im giving up.. cant find answers to things that im looking for!
I want SesneUI ROM that can be overclocked! So far ive been able to flush SenseUi roms but only at stock speed at 806mhz!
Is this possible? Is this a stupid question perhaps? lol ..
Anyone that can point finger and lead me to right direction or maybe supplying me with some linxx?
Thanks in Advance

Check out Virtuous ROM. I used it for a while and it worked very well. I believe they offer 2 different kernels. 1 is slightly overclocked, and the other you can use SetCPU with to get to the settings you want. At least thats the way it was a month or two back. I'd recommend Virtuous. Check out the Android Development section for more info.

Are you only looking for Gingerbread Sense ROMs? I don't think there are any kernels that support OC for Gingerbread/Sense yet. But I'm sure that's being worked on.
If you aren't asking about Gingerbread specifically, there are at least a couple of options. As already mentioned, Virtuous ROM has a couple kernel choices with different OC options.
Also, I know from personal experience that the stock Desire Z ROM works and overclocks just fine with the Godspeed kernel (and possibly others).

Great, Thanks Guys!
I Downloaded the Virtuous Rom + Advanced Kernel 2.1.2 and have found couple of things that are not quite properly operating. For Example: LockScreen sometimes stays Black(Screen Doesnt Turn on to unlock) and Homescreen Personalization Button wont operate or react (wont do anything) which is not a biggie, also bluetooth not quite sure if it works, because i couldnt link my headset! Any thoughts??? Overall its great, Exactly what i was looking for.. first, I didnt know how to flash kernel but youtube did the trick!
Thanks Again!!

AVRCP Support-> on any 4.2.2 ROMS?

I've been browsing through quite a few threads that have discussion of AVRCP, and I think I have become confused.
I currently am using LiquidSmooth RC2 (2.3 has more issues on my particular device and has a feature I like stripped out)...and from what I read, in order for track info to show on my BT radios I need AVRCP which is not supported in AOKP. (unless I'm confused on that too )
So can anyone tell me what ROMS I should be looking at to get that support? I've read that CM10 should have it, but browsing through that thread, I've seen posts about issues with it on CM10.
Just not sure which ROMS I should be exploring to get that support.
Thanks...

None have it from what I have seen. AOKP doesn't and neither does CM10.X

Stock Samsung based ROM's do. I know it works in my car on my ROM and others rom's as well

CM 10 M2 does this as well, but its 4.1.2.
Cheers,

I don't find anything for that title on XDA. Do I only get it at the CM site? While doing some searching, it appears that there is a 4.2.2 CM M2. Again, only find that at the CM site. I'll try to see how I can get feedback there if no answer here: but any idea if the CM M2 4.3.3 has AVRCP support?
I find that 4.2.2 ROMS run SO MUCH FASTER, and have MUCH BETTER BATTERY LIFE.
But not having the AVRCP support is a pita.
Anyone know of a 4.2.2 popping up with that support?

Troubleshooting AOSP builds

Hi all,
I have built my own AOSP rom for the z1c, however there are several features that don't work most importantly the SIM.
Whats the best way to troubleshoot these issues?
Obviously I realise that others have made working AOSP roms for the z1c, I'm just trying to learn about it since my phone is now out of warranty and I can play with these things.
Cheers

See if you can get hold of @CLINTZ9, or @munjeni. They both have built AOSP for Z1c. @freexperia probably has the best AOSP build, but I've never been able to get them to respond to anything.

Just copy /system/etc/firmware files from stock rom and things will work
