Hi, I'd like to have a go at making my own rom for personal use and I'd like to base it on Rogers. Does anyone know where I can find a plain Rogers rom, or a build with hardly any modifications?
I think one of the first places I would start is here
There are some more ROM databases out there, but this one is fairly comprehensive.
Good Luck,
Pine

Hi guys,
I've just gone through a guide on how to unlock my phone, so awesome, Step 1 is done!
Now, with having currently an Orange (UK) based stock rom, I'm looking to get rid of it, and needing to know before I flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
What is a Stock Rom?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and I did search quickly, but nobody has asked this, and all the queries come up are people talking about stock roms.
Thank you,
It's not a stupid question, a Stock ROM is a ROM that is provided by your telecom company or the manufacturer of your phone (Like HTC), so that means a standard ROM without any of the wonderful hacks and additions the guys on this site came up with .
So when you buy a brand new phone the ROM that is on there would be a stock ROM.
Wow, thanks Mad.
Now the problem I have now, is it says "flash stock rom before flashing this", so what should I flash it to first?
I like the look of that rom above you see, and just not sure what to flash it to first.
If you bought your phone from your provider and not
second hand, it will have the stock rom on it, so you would be good to go. Make sure you read the flashing guide, and check radio compatibility with the rom you would like to use.
My preference is to flash with the sd card, rather than a RUU from the desktop. I've had much more success that way.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Thanks Criss,
How would I backup my stock rom, and radio?
Because a few people who make the Rom's are abroad, I've no way of knowing if the radio's they've used are compatible with my network provider here in the UK.
Whats some things I should look out for?
Thank you,
the search area at the top right hand corner.. Then just type in "how to backup stock rom"
Thats what I would do.
rofl, thanks Chumley.
I've just been lazy and started flashing from my Stock ROM.
Balls to it, hopefully I won't ever need to go back, but nevermind. My mistake and downfall!
I would keep a copy of your providers shipped rom around

You'll need it in case you need to make a warranty claim. You can check with the support section of their website, or the Kaiser Wiki could point you in the right direction.
No warranty on the phone, its secondhand.
I'll have a look to see if there are stock roms available through Orange / HTC for it.
Thanks once again!
The rom loads and looks lovely, shame I cocked up the theme, but i'll sort that out later when I can be bothered!
Is there a way to check/verify which HTC_IME my phone is running? I want to know if its Haykuros or the stock version.
Also, is there an file for the original Android Keyboard out there? Im fairly new to the deeper stuff such as push and whatnot, but im willing to listen to anything you all might be able to help me with. what are the commands to switch the current IME with a different one once i have the file?
If you are on a rogers rom, it should be the HTC_IME that came from the base rogers. You may want to ask soulife via PM, or ask in his rogers rom post. I don't know if there are any differences though... unless you are looking for the Chinese one... which should also be there.
I have the rogers htc dream and i want to root it. Im sick of the slow laggy rogers build and the horrid browser. I have a fairly good knowledge level in flashing devices. Ive flashed a couple of Motorolas but im kind of confused with rooting the dream.
I want to use : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558301 but dont know if i can because i dont know how to find my SPL. I want a hero rom but would like to use a rogers customized one due to hearing rogers customized roms provide better 3g reception due to the new radio or something but i will settle for another rom if its fast and reliable
So if someone can give me a rom and stuff i need a simplifed guide id be very thankful

You can find your SPL version by booting while holding Cam+Power. Look at the numbers next to HBOOT
Flashing your phone isn't supposed to be very easy and I recommend learning about what the root process entails before continuing. Flashing something wrong such as the inappropriate radio or SPL could brick your phone.
If you would like another guide, search for "Rogers, heres your real root"
that is the original rooting guide and should work properly for you
B-mann said it good. Just don't look for a hand out, do your research. People that constantly want a hand out here are the ones that constantly ask the same repeated questions so they never learned anything. Read and reread what your doing.
So here is the deal. I have searched these forums for a while and can't find what I really need. What I need is the most stable ROM available that has all of the features of the phone in proper working condition.
I have enjoyed using experimental ROMs with RAM hacks and the like but I am selling my G1 to somebody else. I need to find a ROM that doesn't have any issues with blue tooth, 3D, or playing video and youtube.
I apologize for creating a whole new thread for this but I have searched the forums and the only versions that I can find have some substantial known issues.
So what Android ROM should I download and flash? Thank you to anybody who can help.
if you're selling the phone, keep it simple. A stock donut rom ought to be just fine. Or hell, unroot it.

Unroot it. That way the new user will be able to get the support and updates they need.
If you dont want to unroot it, then this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
So I got my phone last December and within a month, had it rooted - mainly to get rid of bloatware. I was using Cognition ROM at first, but then a guy at an ATT authorized retailer showed me a different rom that unlocked HSPA. The ROM that he gave me, which I later installed using ROM manager has the filename: KILLER23D+XXJPUDoc_V4.0_wipe. Has there been an update to this ROM? I love everything about it and am also wondering if there are any ROMs that are any better than this? I'm still pretty new at using the xda website and forums...
I like to tinker around, but am still afraid of bricking my phone. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys for all the hard work you all do.
p.s. I noticed my phone now thinks it is the Galaxy S GT-I9000... so would I download new ROMs for that phone or the Captivate?
Killer23d's out off date. it hasn't been updated since 11th December 2010. Their are many great 2.2 and 2.3 roms in the development section. Take a look around , you should be able to find one that is to your pleasing. Read the authors instructions and be sure you understand them before you flash anything
Be sure to read the Stickies they tell you about installing rom and other good stuff that you should know. And search around if you have any questions before you post, cause it might have been already answered.
And if you have a captivate you download captivate roms
good luck
I guess I really want to know which ROM is most like official 2.2 or 2.3? I definitely want to make sure I can still install unknown apps, and have the stock alarm clock on the phone because I use the alarm all the time and I don't want to have to download another one from the market. Do you have any preferences on ROMs that would do all this?
I also am a little confused on the ODIN stuff. Since I'm already rooted and using ROM Manager to flash ROMs, do I always need to flash ODIN before installing a new ROM? I read on here somewhere that the author metioned something about that, but how it was worded was a little confusing
I don't refer roms to people it is all personal choice. All roms can install off market apps
for roms in general* http:////forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
*2.3 roms need gb bootloaders
