I'm sure everyone hates these topics, but I'm just looking for advice on what ROM to use as I've looked and can't really see any that suit my needs.
I'm after a ROM similar to Duttys 6.1 (E.g, it appears "stock"), but with the new calculator, notification manager etc from the Topaz, TF3D2, WM 6.5. There are a few ROMs that do include all these, but most include third party apps that wouldn't be in a "real" HTC ROM, or have custom TF3D2/tray icons.
Are there any ROMs available that suit this critera, or will I have to cook my own?
EDIT: Phone is GSM, and is currently running Dutty's ROM, and HardSPL. My radio and splash are fine.
i'd appriciate a good recommendation too. need a similar rom for my missus' diamond. normally i'd just try out a few but she hates setting up her phone again when i flash new roms so i have to reflash it as little as possible!
Just found this ROM, which would be perfect if it came without the extras (Then I can install which extras I want, i.e. YouTube).
looks good, seems to tick all the boxes, might give that a try!
Well then you found your own answer .

As I noticed that Black no longer releasing new build (becuase the official is out) I started thinking - maybe I should go for the official...
Till now I tried SCHAPS 3.57/3.54 and D-Lite. How is the official compared to these two in terms of speed and stability? What does it come with (HTC home, what dialer, etc).
Thanks
OK, the answers to your questions can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=355
If the oficial roms where fast and stable we wouldn't need cooked roms would we?
Official roms are like a new major brand windows pc...they come with so much "bloatware" that you will never need. So cooked roms are custom roms built so you don't have to deal with that crap with extras. Some are "lite" editions which basicly means no extras, just the rom itself.. others throw in some very good useful apps that are widely used.
So i'd suggest not to go official.
I prefer lites because i install what i want, and almost everything can be found in a cab file somewhere in this forum.
I have a T-Mobile MDA with this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331411 and I like it alot.
Id like to know if I can flash my Herm with it and still have all the functionality.
No you can't. Different hardware require different software
Why would you want to do that. There are soo many different roms for the hermes. Alot of great ones I might add.
the functionality you speak of is all in the rom, find out what gives it that functionality and cook it into a hermes rom
i would strongly advise against flashing a wizard rom to a hermes, first of all theres different drivers and other dll's and registry settings that are specific to the thermes running which will not be in the wizard rom
happy cooking!
Hey everyone,
Is it necessary to HardSPL before every ROM update?
I have dutty rom but bbc iplayer dosen't work on it so thinking about changing to another one...
Also what is the best way to pick a ROM? What do you compare?
Thanks
No, once you've installed a Hard-SPL it will work for every ROM update. Well, Hard-SPL's that support unsigned ROM's will work for every ROM update. Hard-SPL's that only support signed ROM's will work only on signed ROM's.
As for comparing ROM's; that is very personal.. Most popular ROM's are very much the same if it comes to speed. Differences are mainly in functionality, stability and the way they look out of the kitchen. Read the ROM topics and find out if what they have to offer suits you!
Do you want a tweaked and full functional ROM with a lot of applications cooked in? Or do you prefer a light or naked ROM, so you can save your space for just the applications you prefer and tweak it yourself?
Do you want it to look like a HTC stock Diamond or do you like what some cooks have done with the way the taskbar and TF3D look? Remember that you can install all applications, do some tweaking and change the look of your Diamond yourself.
As for stability, read the member remarks in the ROM's topics! That will give you a clue what to expect.
Just a question from my side which I cant seem to find an answer for (might be using the wrong search syntax). A ROM update should not affect the workings for your cell provider? As long as you know the MMS and other settings you can use any English (home language) ROM and your device will still pick up your service provider without a hitch?
My reason for asking is because I have noticed that even though HTC has released a new ROM past 1.93, if I go to the website enter my serial the only ROM I can download is still the 1.93. Thats why I am asking this n00b question...
This may seem like a silly questions.. And Maybe I have done a poor job searching. I am looking for a very basic near Factory Original Rom with no bells and whistles. My Tytn is being used on the Rogers Network in Canada.
Can anybody point me to a link for a basic ROm
Original Hermes ROMs
Look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
The factory ROMs are in the Upgrading & cooking section under:
Available Original Shipped WM5 ROM Versions
&
Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
Cheers!
Or, if your meaning you want to go with a cooked rom, that is where you'll have to try them on your own to see what you like, or dislike.
I suggest looking for lite roms, not naked, naked roms are missing everything that you have to add, probably not a good place to start. Anyway, lite roms should have most of the basics, then anything extra can be added later.
where i can get calendar like this?
its look cool..
Any of the beta Manila 2.5 ROM's e.g. Miri v10, Dutty R5, EnergyROM, etc over here.

1 more question, what actually they mean by rom?
i'm new user, quite not familiar with the word.
ROM stands for read only memory. Basically your phone will have come with the Stock ROM (Windows 6.1) but its like a basic version. Now because HTC and the phone companies like Orange, O2 etc are not that forthcoming with updates etc due to new phones being constantly announced, there are some really clever people on here who have taken either Windows 6.1 or the newer 6.5 and made if you will, custom ROM's.
I was quite confused as to how to update to these new ROM's with their being so many of them but its an easy process once you get the hang of it. I have tried about 3 different 6.5 Roms, and at the moment have gone back to Dutty's 3.9 XT which is a 6.1 rom.
Windows Mobile is so customizable, and thats what these Chefs (Rom creators) are doing. Check out the ROM's from Dutty, Miri, NRG etc they have all done fantastic jobs.
Hope this helps.

Well I don't have any troubles but there is always some bugs since most of the roms are not stable yet since (as far as I know) neither windows mobile 6.5 or htc sense is completed. When they're updated rom cooks update their roms also so when you start flashing you might want to flash new one when cooks release it, but you don't have to of course. But I started flashing roms one day after I bought my Blackstone.
The screenshots are from NRGZ28's energy rom photon with manila 2.5. I haven't use Miri's rom but I can suggest you NRGZ28's.
Also you'll need to read Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] carefully. Good luck and have fun with new roms
