heya there,
i am kinda new around here, i know a little about themes, programs and stuff, but now i want to change my rom, i have the original one:
ROM: 1.93.479.3 WWE
DATE: 07/25/08
RADIO: 1.00.25.05
my question is, what rom should i install, the official one, which come from the producer site, or a modded one found around here on xda?
i searched the forum, dont get me wrong, but my problem is, if i put a modded rom, which one, which one is working well and without many errors.
i know that all of them r made by enthusiast ppl who dedicate their time to make such a great job, but i am kinda stuck in the fields, i dont know which one to pick, realy.
if anyone tryed some of them and can share some experience i'll be very glad.
i sow that the radio version is very importat, some of the roms arond here have some apps missing and some apps new comparing with the original ROM realise.
duno realy what to pick.
About TF3D thems i read some and used some, at this very moment i use the Dirty Paper Theme By Zitoun, awsome theme, and now i think i gona try the Copton GoliaX, i'll be thinking about.
all the best, teo.
PS: if u guys realy think that i shoud search and try it myself without any help just shoot, i dont mind. but i dont want some savant asistance, some main ideeas, maybe what to search, or what to look at when i search for a modded ROM.
Hi,
I had the same question, when I just got my phone and find out about this great site!
I was told to try myself, and find out whitch is best for me! I was mad at first, but now I get it. Everyone has theys opinion about the best ROM, one likes stock, other moded. Another likes this aplication, for someone that aplication is useless!
So try yourself!
What I like and worked for me, and many other people, you can see in my signature! Fast, stable, with aplications that you might find usefull! Also upgrade your Radio, also I like one in my signature!
If you want stock ROM with performance upgrades try AZTOR X2 Ultimate!
thanks a lot for your reply, i will try them, and i know what u said, i usualy search and after ask for directios, but now i searched and there are too many, or semes to me that are too many thats why i asked here, for some ppl to share some minimum experience with some ROMs.
i found VIPER rom ,althow and some others. i will look after yours, maybe it will be good.
oh, btw, is there a diference between 6 or 8 MB roms, read something about that.
the old rom will be completly erased, yeah? it will be replaced by the new one? and after a hard reset it will be still the new one?
thanks, teo.

I don't know what you mean by 6 or 8 mb roms, but there is such thing as pagepool that you can set to 6-8-10-12 mb etc. I don't know much about that, I know more is better! There is sticky about pagepool!
Yes, the old rom will be erased, and yes it will be replaced by the new one! And yes after hard reset it will be the new one!
There is a sticky about rom flashing, in the biginning it looks like it's conplicated task, but aqtualy is very easy! Just read the sticky!
oky, i am going to read more intensive about this matter, and hopefully, in the end i will find a good, stable and well done rom.
thanks againg for the advices.

Hi guys,
I am a newbie about Crossbow but I would like to upgrade to Crossbow but I am not sure which version would be the more stable? I am using my phone mainly for Phone, Email push, Agenda, Sync with Outlook, will it be fine?
Also, after upgrading to crossbow can I go back to my initial O2 image without too much trouble?
Thank you for your help.
All of your questions can be answered by reading the wiki, and threads.
Everyone will probably say the ROM they are using is the best thing ever, it's a highly personal choice as to what suits you best.
All will do what you want, and yes you can go back, but please, read, and understand what you are going to be doing first BEFORE you flash it. If you mess it up, it's your own fault, and although people will try to help, sometimes inexperience, and lack of understanding can make people do something really stupid.
Thank you Alan.
Indeed with the Wiki I manage to update to crossbow Image.
I give a try at PDAviet latest ROM I will see how it goes.
Thanks for your help.
My dear friend,
There is no need for user feed back.
If I flash a ROM and find it to be bad and recommend to you as good one, u will flash it and find it unsuitable
If I flash a ROM and find it to be good and tell u that its not good, then u lose the advantage of getting a good ROM
So it is better for you to flash and find for yourself which ROM is better. To find out whether it suits your needs
Note : Please read all the instructions for flashing before you start

Well my friend..... if that is the case....lets just close the FORUM and have downloads only!!!???
I finally flash my universal with Crossbow.
It's great so far. I didn't use the push email and other data functionality since I am abroad but I found the speed of the O/S really fantastic.
Thanks guys for your help.

I know people have repeatedly said it's best to flash a stock ROM before upgrading to your cooked rom, but do you do this before every ROM change? Wasn't sure of the protocol...thanks
Each and every time - normal procedure for me to avoid hard resets, etc.
Same thing for the wizards also.......
Edit - as corrected by other responses, not a standard procedure for flashing roms, just a procedure I follow due to hard reset issues previously.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I actually have 1 more question...does it matter WHICH rom you flash? like do you need to flash the rom that the cooked rom is most based off of?
I have been using this one before flashes: RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship
but just realized i may need to have a stock rom that is closer to what i am flashing
That's the oem rom I've been using.....
Should someone respond with something better, then we both will have a new base for flashing.
Have a good one
ROM minus the radio
I believe someone had posted once that OEM ROM extracted without the radio...i'd like to find that so i'm not reflashing my radio too every time...
Is this really true? I haven't been to active on the board the last few months, but I don't remember seeing that prior to this. What's the technical reason behind it? I don't know how many dozens of times I've flashed my phone...haven't had an official ROM on it since the day I bought the thing.
I haven't and so far I have not had any hard reset with any ROMs that I have tried for the last year. My latest being MaRaHox 5.02.
I guess it is best practice to do so, best to flash with your carrier shipped rom, and then upgrade/downgrade your radio, then your desired rom that you wish to keep.

Yea it is true, if you had used a search before posting a new thread you might have found it! Here is the link!
The only time I flash a OEM ROM is if I am going from BIGSTORAGE to non BIGSTORAGE. Thats just me though and I haven't had any problems.
Fortunately, I never needed to flash the official. But it's the best thing to do for those having HR & Bigstorage flashing issues...
I use Vp3G 6.0 ROM as my baseline. It is close to the standard AT&T ROM. The biggest problem is goingfrom a big storage ROM back to a "standard" ROM. However, I baseline my device each time I flash a new ROM because it only takes a few minutes to do so.

You must be joking...
first of all - i am not an idiot, i know how to search, i just don't always know how to FIND - i did search...for like 20 minutes!! i couldn't find the exact answer to that question. Of course YOU knew where to find that thread cause u were posting in it earlier!
second - i don't see the reason people get SO offended over a repost?! of course if it is something that is asked EVERY day and it is your first post and u are like, which is the best rom...ok, you deserve to hear it...but people love to flame you over asking a question when it takes 2 seconds of someones time to answer and it could take me literally 20 minutes or more to find the specific answer i am looking for. Plus other people got benefit from my asking again so what is the bloody harm??
Third - you got me all excited and didn't link me to what i was looking for! I saw someone post the OEM ATT ROM but without the radio. So, Mr. Smart guy, please search your loving heart out and help me find it...please! Cause i have no clue how to find that file
EDIT: Whoops, ok i just read where you explained how to do the extraction...that does help actually thanks
Flashing an official rom prior to flashing WM6.1 roms may be a good a practice. however, on my part, i never needed to do that. I just flashed PdaViet's WM6.1 rom from Shaminix's WM6 rom and it is still stable and fast. No hard resets whatsover. I am also using an ATT 8525 handset.
It seems as though people are asking if this is standard practice or not... The answer is simple... It is not standard practice for everyone... It is completely up to the individual, if this is what they want to do....
I suffer from RFWS (Rom Flashing Withdrawal Syndrome) and due to my disorder, I usually flash several times a week and NEVER do I flash an OEM rom before flashing the rom I actually want... I also don't have any issues while doing it this way...
Now, with that being said, I can understand why one would flash when going from BigStorage to NonBigStorage or Vice-Versa, but that is about it...
/rantoff
I just flash the rom i want to try out , no official roms for me ,if it isn't an illegal rom it just doesnt't feel right
i used to flash everyday, but then the big white van with the blue flashing lights took me away to the big house

...why don't you read through the threads???
HardSLP: In ever ROM Announcment the cooker also mentions a few words about the HardSLP.
What does a rom do?
You can compare it with a complete new-installation an a pc.
Will this and that be removed?
For Sure, everything which is not on the internal storage will be erased!
And now: READ the threads!
I'd be interested in trying out this HTC Toughflow...

Hello sir's...
What the F* it's the best rom.... I mean clean (with no 3'th party software), tunned (the best reg tweak) and the fastest (without unnecessary stufs from windows), and the most free memory you can get from it.
Mabe in 2 min, I will be banned from this site but WTF... I try thousand of ROM's and found nothing... anybody make his own ROM but not good for anywone, and please do not reply me to make my own beeing the best... This will not help anyone and what is't the mean of the forum???
SO, admin bann me if you like (I will still use the forum - it's no 1 in rom's) but I just want a f***ing clean ROM with the tweaks I made after an oficial ROM...
It's so hard to do something that anybody want - to be able to install their own softaware???
F**k!
P.S. sorry for my english!
*waits for ban / closed
Banning commence in 1,2,3....
go buy yourself another phone....

I have one advice for you....
Go buy yourself a phone Without windows mobile
Don't hang around here and ask us WHICH one is the best.....There are so many ROMS around here, because everybody prefers something else.....Just COOK your own ROM then........( I still wanna say)
But a phone WITHOUT windows mobile would be better for you......if you don't like any of the ROMS here....
It's not my intention to be rude or so, but this is not working like this.....In my opinion, Cooking a ROM yourself would be the best solution if you've already tried so many ROMS...
Good luck fella
Jeroen
Install the latest direct from HTC - I guess that's officially the best...
Do your own tweaks, and there you have it...
The best god damned ROM money can buy (trust me, I've got it)
So you are saying that you can't find a clean rom, and therefore you want others to do the work so that YOU can get a clean rom?
I hope you get banned..
BTW: You should not sorry for your english.. It would be better if you were sorry for your attitude..

will they ever learn?
one word..........SHOCKING!
I have installed the latest official rom 1.96 I think that was the last one , and the phone stop responding in max 2 hours.
I'm not intend to offense anyone here and I really apreciate their work..
Jeroen, i will never buy a phone without windows... I change from MIO because they sucks! and I don't want to cook my own rom because I don't know how to do it.
k1sr, you have right, but it's difficult to make all the tweaks again and again after a hard reset, but this remain the only solution.
Da9L, I dont want anywone to work for me but just to have a clean ROM, tweaked and with no software installed at all, will help a lot of us (this is what they do here), and I am not sorry for my attitude, after months of trying ROM's, some of them without "change log" file, and like I read in a post, after couple of weeks got EXPIRED... what is that??? - I should be sorry for my attitude???
I dont know how do you consider this unbelievable but right now I don't even know what ROM to try more....
Anyway... beeing the one who make the post can someone tell me if it's possible to delete'it, to not charge the forum with unnecessary posts?
Thanks to all who reply!

before i ban you, i'd like to know why you felt the need to blast your message across in the manner you did. all of the above could have been said without the rudeness. keeping in mind this is a family board, there are young minds lurking around here. Not to mention plenty of people who just don't care to be exposed to this type of lingo. So why? why would you do such a thing?
im a newbie when i comes to windows phones, ive had blackberry's my whole contract and i figured what the heck ill try one so i found a new one on ebay and when i got it, it looked like it had the sense rom installed, and me being an idiot, put the original rom back on it. how can i put sense back into it? lol
go to the touch pro 2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile Rom development forum and read the Hard-SPL unlocker sticky thread and make sure your device is hard-spl'd, if not then do it. Then read the Flashing your first GSM Rhodium Rom (also a stickied thread) [this is assuming ur device is gsm (at&t or t-mobile)] and go through the roms and flash whichever one you please. NRG's Energy roms seem to be the most popular for the rhodium but its all up to your personal preference.

Wait a minute, you already burned a ROM and you don't know how to burn a new ROM? If you are asking what ROM to burn, take a look at the ROM development forums.

I was just about to say that.. if you can put one rom on you can put any rom on (any rom thats compatible with your phone that is)
well the rom i put on was the regular factory rom from htc's website and i found it to be easy cuz it was an .exe file, idk about other roms. whats a good rom for me to use? i was thinking sense but i read it slowed down after alot of txts and emails. im a big txter and i use emails alot so i dont know what to load on my phone. any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. and for the record, im 18yo, and dont know much about this kind of technical stuff.

There is an issue with SAVING sms - it slows down the phone a lot. But it should be no problem to view them and then delete the old ones. I use the NRG ROM. But I would go over to the ROM Development section and read up. Start by discovering if the phone has Hard SPL.
