Hi all,
I own a Touch Diamond. I looked at the various cooked ROMs which include newer HTC components (such as Youtube sw, keyboard drivers...), but I prefer to keep on using the original HTC rom (I'm from Italy and there are few ITA ROMs ). So I was wondering where I could find up-to-date HTC components to install on my device... Is there a section I haven't seen here?
Thank you

Hi All,
I've just got my new Touch HD but have never entered the world of custom roms before.
My current ROM is 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE dated 10/24/08. I've just updated the radio version to 1.10.25.25. My HD seems quite slow and generally I'm quite disappointed with it. That said I was quite disappointed with my HTC Tytn until HTC released a new rom.
From reading this forum there seem to be many happy people so I suspect that the software in my phone is more at fault. I've seen the new Arabian rom that has been posted. It obviously won't install on my UK model (I'm not tied to a mobile carrier) without me tinkering, but I wondered if there would be any benefit in me uploading it. Does it invalidate my warranty or can I reset the original rom should I need it repaired?
As a rule do custom rom makers use the latest offical release and then tweak them? What are the benefits?
I'm sorry for so many newbie questions. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction of some great "simple" instructions I would be grateful.
Regards
Jonathan

hi bro welcome to XDA.
Everything regarding flashing, upgrading and choosing from cookded roms , official roms and valuable information can be found here for Touch HD thank to HDUSER for updating here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
good luck
The first couple of pages in the wiki are a bit complex if you're new to all this and have never customised your phone. Loads of unneccessary info (which is nice to know, but not always important). The easiest way by far to flash your ROM would be using SPL and flashing from your SDcard. Search the forum, as there one or two threads specifically abpout flashing for n00bs.
There's one specifically I'm thinking about which really helped me out, but I have no idea anymore which one it is and I can't be arsed to search for it for you Search is your friend (search for: flashing ROM n00b newbie).
Hi, did anybody asked HTC support if there will be a ROM upgrade for Jade? They produced a lot of ROMs for Diamond and HD and nothing for our best device...
I've got a touch diamond and I'm looking for a wm 6.1 or 6.5 rom, original as possible, but without touchflo (can't get used to it).
Which config should I run, or ROM should I download.
I also had an htc touch, normal edition, with wm6.5, tabish rom. Exactly how I liked it.
Currently running original 6.1 latest firmware from htc site.
Have a look in the ROM forum, lots in there to choose from!
hummmmmm
this question is not welcome here...always ends in a fight
the only way to find whats best for you is to start flashing!
good luck

Hello,
I am looking for a Topaz Rom, which is only ported. No mor Software added or removed just like it is on the Topaz.

Wrong forum...
You need to look in the 'Diamond ROM Development' forum - that's where the ROM's are... there's a clue in the title
... seriously though, many of the custom ROM's are using Topaz applications, but I haven't found one that is an exact port... and besides that, most of them are buggy at the moment. Just read the threads in forum, they explain what's what in each ROM. Then try a few, but expect some bugs. Some are minor and liveable, some are major and not workable
Yes I have already looked in the rom section but I do not found any rom which is an exact port. I think this would be very nice.
this is the best one I have found:

Is such an Rom available now?
I am so confused. Since Android apparently needs WM to run and does not run flawless I decided to try to go from WM6.1 to WM6.5.
I already know what a ROM is and that I need to replace the WM6.1 ROM from HTC with a WM6.5 ROM from here. But there are so many ROMs and all look different. I am concerned that I may install a bad ROM so I ask you: Which one should I install?
I understand that certrain functionalities work only with certain ROMs (or something). I really focus on GPS, phone, Audio Player.
Thank you so much!
P.S. I did some research here before but I end up with so much information that I cannot handle them all. I am also concerned that I follow obsolete tutorials or information or that I grab obsolete ROM files/whatever. :S
