Hi. I'd like to start with saying that this may have been answered already, but it is possible I haven't hound it yet. I read these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480271
and still haven't found an answer to my question (maybe I didn't pay enough attention? If so, sorry, and point me straight to the ansers, please )
1) Anyway, I'd like to know what is exactly the purpose of flashing my phone with a new unofficial rom. I assume that because it is unofficial, it lets me run some homebrew software from here, right? (I haven't really read much about this, but I see there are nice tweaking tools, and I like the new touch keyboard as well)
2)
* And what if the benefit of a new rom, in general? Stability fixes? usability additions? What is this rom? Is this like a new touch flo 3d version, or is it independent from UI interface, and it's like updating BIOS in a PC?
Is a new unofficial rom something like this:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
+ ability to run homebrew?
* I remember seeing some screenshots from the touch2, and there were some nice features, like a search bar embedded in the Internet tab and a new Calendar tab I don't have. Will these be available after a rom upgrade?
3)I read about the ability to change phone's settings and language by editing Registry. Is it only available with unofficial rom?
4)How can see the status of my langauge's translation for Touch Flo? Where can I contribute? (Polish language)
5)I reckon using/flashing at least some of the software available here voids my warranty. What does, and what does not?
6)Does flashing with new rom erase my contacts/etc.?
7) Is flashing dangerous? Is there any possiblity of bricking the phone and not getting it back to work?
PS.:
I have Touch HD,
Rom version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
Touch Flo 3D version: 1.3.35350.1_1630.38
SPL-1.14.0000

Hi everyone, due to the number of request we have made something special, CleanEX based universal roms.
Please come and look at our thread!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656835
we dont want to duplicate the thread here as that would be very diffucilt to maintiain two identical threads, hopefully a moderator will come up with a better cross-forum solution for us.
Anyway, we would appreciate some feedback please !
Please keep all comments in that thread, not here, thanks!

little bump
Tried this, so far working great... I just wish you left access to the advanced connection settings ( i think that was it) so i could disable the HUSPA settings because if I do my network stops working randomly. (just the area I am in)
Besides that, this is one fast ROM! So far stable.
you can disable HSUPA / HSDPA with a reg edit, i will find the key for you
nvm ......
Ah no key? hahah... okay i'll take a look around... that's the only issue i'm having with this rom, besides that it's Steller!
hi everyone )
i have posted a new beta rom in the main thread (link in post 1), last page.
Please let me know ASAP if this one is also functional on your handsets.
Thanks,

Hi Bro & Sis,
Frankly speaking,Im bit confused about MIUI & LEWA OS porting status for our x8 ether its agains of XDA Rules or not.As me understand its like this:
-Porting isnt wrong if somebody do it from own rom resource(based own rom).
-Any tutorial & other source is open to anybody to used it as long as proper credit given.
So,me didnt see any wrong of it and me also wondering are there any of our DEV who has a own rom willing to do it if its legal.
Yes,we have many roms(MIUI & LEWA) out there but its based on somebody else rom which is not promising for development(bug fixing,better performance etc) because as I know beside its remain ori bugs its also bring new bugs & little lag of performance.
If anybody has diff point of view please share it to help me be more clear about regarding issue.
THANKS
Please read here for your reference.
Second, Mod roms will now be placed in the X8 Themes & Apps forum The threads will contain in the OP all the relevant permissions/credits along with links to the original rom thread and provided as a cwm update zip. This decision has been made after consultation with RD's/Developers/Senior members and this is there wishes so respect them

Actually the reason why colossus keep on closing such thread in development its because of the failure to comply this rules. I dont see any hard part in following that rule. Let me simplify.
Now you want to mod or port ROM? Here are some checklist.
1. If you will be using a based ROM. Please make sure you have proper permission from the base ROM developer. THIS IS A MUST.
Now you have permission eh?
So you can start modding/porting the ROM.
What if I didnt get permission?
Dont worry you can still mod/port that ROM but please do not share it here. In short it applies only for personal use.
2. If you already done porting then create a thread in X8 Themes & Apps. If your rom becomes popular and you apply your own fix etc. Then please contact the MOD so that the ROM will be moved to Development Section. (Ofcourse it will still undergo screening if that would fit on the Dev Section.
Now guys what is the hard part understanding those Rules implied?
back to bed zZZzzhh
Deedii,
By your statement,me understand this;
Porting rules is a same as modding/theming rules(must be place in x8 theme sec.)
As I know,this rules is for someone who modding/theming based on others rom because ori Dev usually not modding/theming their own rom & open a new thread.
If they did or add/remove something,we can call it a next updates.
Its make sense if someone porting based on others but how about porting based on own roms?
For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?
Should its must place in theme sec too?
BTW,its help me clear a bit thats porting based on somebody else rom is NOT agains XDA rules if you put in theme sec. with a permission & proper credit.thanks
p/s:sorry if disturb u,its 8.00am in my place when I make this thread
i thinks the miui and lewa os remove because some warez or legal issue.
i agree that we can post rom with permission. but i think that miui os and lewa os is consider as theme bercause based from cm 7.1 or 7.2 etc. lasttime i saw ppl post that lewa os is theme ginger dx , meybe they need get permission.
p/s: something i no understands. for example , if some 1 take minicm7 with permission then add tweak like gps tweaks,bravia, other rom lib etc from other people is consider development??? nowday dev is like zoo many cm 7.1, 7.2
For example;How about if nAa porting MIUI based on his MiniCM?

Ofcourse it will be considered as development. If you based it with your own ROM then there is no issue since its yours. What are you confused about?

As stated no its not. Instead of posting the whole rom you can actually make a flashable zip on that tweak that you want to put.
