Hello Eveyone,
Is there any latest,stable hero rom for the tmobile g1. I dont want them to change the theme or anything. I just want the original with everyone on it. Same for a rogers rom for the g1. I want both of those so I can flash. Please let me know.
Thank You
I think the latest and most stable Hero rom would be JacxHeroSkiv 1.4 or Drizzy's Champion v1 or 2, in the Who is your Hero thread. As for rogers I think maybe the soulife one but I honestly don't know as I have yet to try any rogers roms. When you use a Hero rom it will change the theme somewhat because it has the Rosie/Sense UI and different icons. Just check some of them out in android development. Make sure you root and update the newest radio and spl, and make sure you do RADIO FIRST!! then spl, or you will have a big fat brick in your hand. Don't use the 1 click method unless you can't understand any of the guides, I used this one.
unless he uses drizzys superlite which changes the theme very little

Most Hero ROMs are very true to the original. JThe problem with using ROMs that have only been ported is they are not optimized and don't support Apps2SD.
JacxHeroskiv is a very stable ROM, I just find it's too slow. Here's a link to the original Rogers ROM.
The best way to find out is by flashing different ROM's and picking what you like. Then it's easier to form an opinion.

Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum.
I have just purchased the HTC HD... I'm in South Africa... We get stuff very late here.
I would like to update my Rom and Radio but not sure which on to choose.
Currently:
Rom: 1.14.421.5 (25590) WWE
Rom date: 12/10/2008
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocol: 52.49a.25.26W
And my serial number has GK... So which region does it belong to...
Thanks in Advance
I have a feeling this might get locked/deleted, as I don't think they like people comparing the ROMs as a lot is down to personal choice. For me I wanted a nice fluid, fast ROM and I've settled with Davideuck V2 after trying many. Very nice.
Radio ROM's I'm just testing, as far as battery life. I can't say I tell much difference between the 3 current offers though...
Thanks for the reply....
I'm not asking people to compare ROMS I'm asking if I can download any Rom and any Radio version or are they specific for a country like on the HTC site.
once you have hard SPLed the device you can do what ever you want with it, which includes RADIO and ROMs, what you choose is your choice and since we cant give you advice on ROMS so as not to offend any cooks feelings we cant give you any help in choosing which one is best for you, however i have been using Duttys 1.7 to 2.1 for quite a while and felt rthem wonderful ROMs, 2.2 im running now is somewhat buggy but with a bit of work it looks very promising and will be running on my device in the future.
oh if your device is SIM locked you will need to change that too if you want to use a different carrier.
Hi, been looking through the various sections of ROM development forum, and have a couple of questions. I am new to this Windows based phones.
1) When I dump the ROM, does this Backup the ROM, radio and Protocol, or do you have to do them individually? Basically can I put the MDA Compact V back into its complete original state if I dont like the new ROMS?
2) Has anyone tried Flashing the Compact V, if so, any improvements?
Hoping some of you experts can help out a noob!
2) You need HARDSPL installed. Then you can flash any topaz rom on it. Trust me, you don't want to go back to the t-mobile rom.
Let us know how you get on, i'm thinking of doing the same thing
I dumped my rom from the mda compact v but I havent put it back together as nbh yet. Downloading the topaz kitchen to do so.
It is always a good idea to dump your rom before flashing a new one. If your phone develops a fault t-mobile will not accept responsibility if there is a custom rom on there and they will likely tell you that your warranty has been invalidated. Although the t-mobile rom is awful is always good to have it backup up just in case of the worst.
Saying that I didnt backup the radio though and I updated that to the latest last week
EDIT: To answer the question yes there are improvements with running custom roms. I have not moved to 6.5 yet as I have a heavily customised uDK 6.1 rom and cannot be bothered to move to 6.5 and do all the customisations again. There 6.5 rom appear to be slightly buggier from what I read but it does have its advantages over 6.1.
Backup the t-mobile rom and move to the custom roms just make sure you follow the instructions carefully
Thanks for the replys.
Pauloke: I have backed up the ROM (parts.raw) and I have also got the kitchen, but I really have no idea what I'm doing. Worst case, I have a copy anyway. The kitchen instructions get quite techy very quickly and they soon lose me. Is there any way of getting a copy of the shipped ROM online?
Cheers

One way is to check the website of your provider. Sometimes you find the ROM (as an update) there.
Another way is to check the WIKI TOPAZ cooked ROMs page. By chance you find your ROM there.
Ohh man i must be rly stupid, why i cant figure out how the @#% i can dump my rom :S This dumprom tool is supposed to extract an already backed up rom right? i'm really confused :/
there are too many different Hero, cupcakes and 1.6 threads in the development forum. im kind confused :S
would anyone tell me, please, if there is a Hero rom which has the 1.6 update in it...which is the similar rom to HTC Tattoo...
please and thanks ^^
I don't think any do, only the tatoo based roms have it AFAIK.
o......icic...thanks for the reply mate
Has anyone tried flashing using JumpSPL. I suppose in thoery you should be able to use it on any device, and was wondering if it working for Imagio.
PS: Dump your orginal ROM before you flash a cooked one.
What are they chances it could brick my phone?
we would need a cooked rom first no?
It wont brick your device, as long as you dont flash not compatible SPL, Radio or OS. Need to cook an OS for Whitestone first and then flash. I can try it in my Rhodium, but it has HSPL already.
I am guessing it should work, as I do remember using this to flash HSPL on Kaiser.
It doesnt need to be cooked it. Just put in the device using activesync or file explorer after connecting to PC. Then u run JSPL. Flash the cooked ROM.
Once I've made sure I have insurence on my phone I'll cook up a rom and try this. If it works it would be a great hold off till a HSPL is made.

Yup thats what I am thinking. HSPL would be great, but until then we all need a good cooked ROM. If JSPL works it will be awesome. Maybe Cmonex would be able to tell us if it will work...
I realized after googling a little. That I have no idea how to cook a rom. If someone can give me a stock WinMo 6.5 with Leo SenseUI rom, preferably with the compatible SPL and Radio. I'll be happy to try the JumpSPL. Or at least point me in the right direction.
if only more cdma windows 6.5 roms were out there. could you the tp2 rom be used as a starter?

You cant interchange ROM between devices. It might cause to brick. So NEVER flash anything other Whitestone cooked ROM.
As a first step, you need to learn how to dump your phone and reconstruct it to a ROM just in case.
I am assuming VZW does not have an official ROM out yet!
The above link is for Rhodium, but not sure what will be different for Whitestone.
Then you take that reconstructed ROM, create your own kitchen with EV kitchen, and then start cooking!
But if VZW has released an official ROM, then cooking is real easy. Just get that ROM, dump and create a kitchen. Start cooking.
If you dont know what you are doing, then dont attempt this at all!

I already downloaded the rom dump and I've for the offical install from HTC. I just can't find where to download the EV kitchen.
I've got a rom dump and the offical install ship install from htc. I just can't find where to download EV kitchen.
Well that makes it real easy...here is the Kitchen tool that I use for TP2. Use that and dump the official ROM. Then, cook it again with your flavor, and try to flash using JSPL.
exciting times
I'll try building a rom tonight/tomorrow. I'll let you know. PS. Can you shot me a like to the Leo SenseUI. So I can add it to the rom. I just wanna change something so I know it's my rom not the OEM.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=96393
can you get what you need out of here?
No I don't think I can use it. It's a rom not a dump. I also download the stock Leo dump and don't know how to take the Manila files from that dump and use it on the Whitestone dump. Is there a wiki for this kitchen or something? ai6908 you seem to be on top of this any help?
Imagio(whitestone) rom dump here..http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=89422
Yeah, thats the dump I have. But sadly I don't know enought to make that dump into a rom. Adding Leo's Manila to it is simply to know its the new rom and not the stock one.

It has to be an official ROM. I know there was a link for official ROM posted before. Download that, dump it with Ervius Kitchen, then cook it again. Flash that and see if it can be flashed. I will see if I can do that when I get time.

Even better ask someone making themes for our Hero like Tristan,The author of Elegance Theme as released the necessary files to make the theme(most of the work,i guess))
