Grats on being a tool.
I am using panosha's think rom ( 6.0 ) and i am loving it man, i might as well try 6.1 in couple of days but for the time being think rom suits me .

I'm using bepe 0.54 (without TomTom) cos its windows 6.1. It seems faster than standard and stable... Give it a go!

Stable = Panosha's Light & Butterfly Edition.
Faster = Bepe's 5.4 Special Edition Full.(Really Rocks)

Are you for real?
How hard it is to read through the original threads of the roms and SEE USER OPINIONS ALREADY on each of the roms?
AND why would you just take someones word on it without trying it your self?
M.F. hand holding

reyjabs , have you made some tests with spb Benchmark or somethink else ?

Have you seen the number of pages for each? Also, how many of those posts are about little user problems? I personally found this thread useful as it COMPARES each release to one another. I really hate it when someone replies to a post with the typical troll comments like "search" or "have you not read the (500 pg) post?" If you don't have something helpful for a poster, just don't write anything at all.

Absolutely, this thread has encouraged me to make the leap.
Question though; has anyone flashed their UK O2 Polaris phones?

THX for the recommendations, hey what about this project where some people did collect some money to create a ROM and named Polaris Project...???
Did they something...???

reading all the post is not better that a full direct recommendation from the users, thats the way that i asked for, it helps too another users to filter unneeded information as i've found on the ROM's threads. Also we can chart the quality and usability of all the ROM posted up to now. Anyway THX for the answer. Don't forget we're in a Forum, Q&A.

Installing

Hi im a bit new here but how do you install for example Gsen or TF3D Config?

Copy the .cab to your Internal Storage and then run it in File Explorer :]

thx thats really helpfull

These questions are being asked more and more these days, especially as models such as HTC Diamond and Omnia are becoming more popular with the mainstream, which leads me to the point - there ISNT actually any instructions as how to install an app with the HTC Diamond is there? Ive never seen any...

No. We could make a FAQ.

is it not in the wiki?

Actually there should be an FAQ for evrything on this forum like TF3D Config how to install themes, how to reinstall original theme etc.

It does pretty much explain how to install new/original themes on the TF3D config thread anyway, but i guess it would help the people who choose not to read

I totally agree!
I, as well am a noob in all the phone things.
I know something, but things that are said in the forums here....are sometimes just not understandable.
So it's a PRETTY good idea to come up with a FAQ.
1: noobs like me can just read the FAQ, and do NOT hours and hours of reading the threads and still don't getting it.
2: You guys....that are already a little bit further in the knowledge don't get ( stupid/boring) questions all the time....
conclusion:
Where all happy
conclusion 2:
Who is gonna make the FAQ?

windows phone 7 "style" rom

is there one out ther?
e.g. lesscro dialer n lockscreen, swype with wp7 skin etc etc all cooked in?
if not does anyone think it would be a good idea to make one?
id be interested in having a go myself as i have started to build my own rom, so if you guys thinks its a good idea and if i get enough replys, thats if anyone hasnt done it already, then i will have a go at making one with all tht stuff cooked in.

There are some theme projects going on (search the themes/apps forum) but haven't seen them cooked into any one's rom yet. Maybe talk to the folks doing the themes and collaborate on a rom? I wouldn't mind running a well done WP7 themed rom tbh.

[Q] Noob considering custom ROMs

Hi im a 15 year old noob and i own the HTC Wildfire im living in the UK on the 3 network and my wildfire is currently on 2.1 update 1 and there are many things this has stopped me from doing. And to be honest im really tired of waiting for this so called 2.2 update which i was expecting to arrive in october before i even bought the phone and doing extensive research it seems this update isnt in any rush whatsoever. I currently have a 2 year warranty one i would like to keep . I hear rooting and flashing my phone will void this as the carrier will see i have modified the ROM however if my phone were to break would it be possible for me to put the stock rom back on to hide this? Also do they really check that well? And if an official update does ever arrive is there an option to return to it? I would also like to know what the best method of rooting and flashing along with the best ROM. Thank you very much even you reading this all without replying is much appreciated. But of course if you reply i fkn love you (no homo).

Hey, I doubt they check that well and you can always install a RUU (ROM update utility/Goldcard) off shipped ROMs to restore, which leaves no traces (I think).
As for the best ROM, in my opinion it is CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2, as for me it is the quickest, it has the most tweaks, and everything works really. It has a lot of tweaks and fixes, and suggestions from the CyanogenMod community are being constantly implemented. If you want a "lighter" version you can try OpenFire, but for me CyanogenMod is a lot quicker and better to use. The only thing is, neither of these ROMs have HTC Sense, which you will not miss once you find the alternatives. I'm using LauncherPro Plus with Beautiful Widgets. Sure the HTC stuff looks pretty, but it's so freaking slow! If you really need a Sense ROM I'd suggest WildPuzzleRom 8 as it's Froyo based also.
Hope I helped

also why would you write you age and so on no one cares! absolutly not under the developement part of the forum!
to add something that isnt offtopic in my post I got a short statement:
If you absolutly want to keep the garantue and to be sure of that the phone wont turn into a useless pice of plastic: DO NOT ROOT OR FLASH ANYTHING FROM THE XDA-FORUM, CLICK THE "X" IN YOUR UPPER RIGHT CORNER! FAST before the phone explode!!!!!

Download CM 6.1 from the relevant thread in this section and then use tur42keys rooting guide, also in this section.
Sorry I can't post the links since the forum restricts new users posting links.

He's only stating the obvious, this kind of post doesn't belong to the WF android Developpement sub-forum =/

Even a noob without reading the rules, one would already know to post this question in the General sub forum.
I was, and am still an android noob, however i learnt to flash, mod apk's and theme up my phone like crazy, just by simply reading and following instructions carefully. It's simple.

[Q] Full function android on HD2

I had an HD2 before but did not like windows at all and there was not a suitable android release for it so I sold it.
I really liked the phone but was wondering if there is a good android replacement where everything works available for it now?
Thanks for any help

I use the BOYPPC SHIFTPDA DHD V18 Rom (Desire HD) on my HD and it works perfectly on it.

if you have TMOUS LEO1024 i would check out this ROM. i have found that its pretty much bug free (none that i've found anyway) and a great ROM overall. also a great fast/stable ROM would be RAFDROID HD found here.
if you need a guide on re-installing Android i would check this thread out

I have not bought one yet but I'm looking on Craig's list and will find one soon.
Are the ones you guys mentioned Gingerbread?
Thanks for your help

I've tried almost all available NAND builds for HD2 and I can say that I found only one stable and fast build which is NexusHD2-Gingerbread".
I've tried those big, ram eaters - HTC SENSE ROM's
The thing that convinced me to install it was obviously HTC Sense, but I realized that it's unless if I am not using it's widgets (facebook, twitter, messages, etc).
But that wasn't the main reason why I left these roms, the main reason was the performance. Booting took much longer than on normal clean non-sense rom, I had to wait until it stabilize itself after each boot (1-2 minutes, htc sense had to load up and other processes). Scrolling wasn't smooth as on clean rom. These roms are more likely designed for 1024mb hd2's because on 512 hd2's it just doesn't fit (i don't know how it works on 1024mb but i guess the same, the only reason why I said it is for 1024mb hd2's was because mostly every htc sense build requires sd parition). The phone did not respond as quick as on clean gingerbread build. I just think that camera is better than on clean rom, pictures looks nice, sharp with good contrast.
I've also tried MUI roms.
These roms are nice and simple, eye catchy UI and advanced settings. Ability to change lots of things such as boot image and sound, custom firewall, etc. everything can be easily found, just few taps, everything is nicely designed.
However it is not as quick as clean rom, it can hang somewhere, and not always completely translated from Chinese to English. You can customize it for your own needs.
Normal clean roms are the best in my opinion.
I've used mostly all different roms, Android and Windows 7, and I always come back to NexusHD2-Gingerbread rom. I think that the only thing that makes me changing this rom is it's simplicity. It is the cleanest rom I ever seen and quickest one (you just need to change home launcher to GOLAUNCHER as it make the phone super fast and responsible, because on standard one scrolling through apps lags).
So I prefer this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 thanks to it's fast booting, fast responding and stability.
HTC SENSE ROM's might have better benchmarks but believe me it can't be compared with Clean NexusHD2-Gingerbread rom. Every gameloft game
work flawlessly on it.
It is just my opinion from the experience with those roms.

Do we have to have this same topic re-created and re-cycled every single [email protected]*king day?
Its not hard to use search or go through a couple of pages, Its just pure lazyness to create this topic, pure and simple.

Second vote for Gingerbread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905060 It is just great and hassle-free, gave me no trouble of any kind.
As far as threads like this are concerned, I don't see why members can't ask for other members' opinions on what they like or dislike. Of course they can go and check out the available versions by going through the threads and posts, but personal recommendations would be the best way of finding out the outstanding work, rather than waste time going back and forth even after all the reading is done and all the problems are noted. It's not only time consuming, it can be daunting with the amount of information and releases that's out there. Perhaps we should run the best release poll and have it stickied to save time. After that whoever wants to try other things is free to rummage through the section and flash at their heart's desire.

@Gabriel51 your bound to get so many different answers because everyone likes different things as already pointed out
@dawid your right that if you dont use the widgets theres really no point at all so i have to give you that but lets talk about scores for a second. i personally clocked 41.something mflops on RAFDROID HD using linpack, a 2816 quadrant score & vellamo was only 29 points behind the dual core Sensation. now im not saying numbers are everything but you would have to admit thats pretty fast. although i really like the wifi calling feature available on the NexusHD2 ROM which im sadly missing :'( this feature alone is worth flashing that ROM
@TheATHEiST it does seem like this is covered on a daily basis from different people and a search would yeild results if people would ever use it. i will say though in all fairness that i use the search feature everytime im trying to find something but i feel the search function on this site is a little subpar causing it to be difficult at times to find what your looking for. most of the time i dont have any problem at all though.

They can, thats not the point, The point is this is the same question, over and over and over, Why create the same topic and ask it again instead of reading one of the other topics? You are going to get just as relevant answers by reading them as you are creating another topic. All topics like this do is clutter the place up.
For example, If I was to get a new device tomorrow, I wouldnt go and create a silly topic like this in my new devices section as its common sense it will have already been asked and answered, Instead I would go and read the topics that already exist and try some roms out for myself. The fun part is learning and adapting.

There is a no stupid question for most educators and then there are those that expect you to glean through hoards of information in hopes of finding and discerning information relevant to ones needs.
I intend to continue to ask those with knowledge their opinion on topics such as this and those who wish to contribute understand then need to do so.

I've had this argument a few times now. The point is if you all keep creating threads on topics that have already been Answered your making it harder for people to search for their answers because your cluttering up the forums with sh+t. I'm happy to spend some of MY time answering questions but when the op could of simply typed "revert hd2 to stock xda" into Google and found his answer it becomes quite tedious because this question does get asked everyday.
/edit and the op shouldn't be installing custom roms if he doesn't know how to remove them
