Hey guys im new here, just have a few questions. So i've been doing some reading on flashing different roms to the TyTn. Whats the advantage of this? I just got my ATT Tilt a few weeks ago and dont wanna mess it up. Is there a performance benefit? Call quality? Different features. I hear about people loading the default htc rom. Is this better in any way than the one that ships with att? Thanks in advance.
Hi, Welcome aboard.
Actually, by my own (short) experience, using a cooked ROM, can be synonymous of performance benefit, increased call quality, different features, different aspect, functionality and a lot more… I recommend you to read some more things about in the specific thread of a ROM and compare it to the features of your shipped ROM…
But, firs of all, DO NOT FORGET TO READ:

cheers
Some of the new roms on here are such a big difference from the factory rom that you'll feel like you've got a new phone, others are closer to the stock roms. I know everyone is always a little wary the first couple times of flashing (and bricking) their $400 phone, but in reality it's actually pretty safe (just don't do anything dumb with your computer or phone while it's in the process). If you looked at the amount of flashing that goes on in this forum vs. the amount of cases where a phone gets actually gets bricked I'm sure the results would say that flashing is successful 99.9% of the time and the other 0.1% is most likely due to hardware or user error. Long story short, flash your phone to whatever Dutty's latest is and you won't be disappointed!
I guess ill have to give this a try. considering my phone locks up enough to annoy me and calls drop lol. oh and I can barely hear the person on the other side cuz the volume sounds just too low. Im coming from the blackbery curve to this, I never had a dropped call. hopefully a new rom will cure some of my troubles.

Please let me know which ROM you go with, and how you like it. I'm in a similar situation to you, I just bought mine. I had an HTC Wizard (Cingular 8125) before, and did a lot of flashing on that, but haven't tried on the Tilt since it came stock with WM6 anyway I didn't initially see the point. Now I'm starting to hear of a lot of people liking these ROMs better.
I'm running Dutty's latest and let me be the first to say it is great. I have no problems whatsoever. It's faster, easier to use plus with a ton of mods to make life easier all the way around.

Thanks! I'll have to try that out later on. It seems that one is the one everyone likes.
glad I could help.
Just to add another question, does anyone have any experience with different ROM "chefs?" I like Dutty's stuff so far, but I'm hearing things about a "Schaps" and some other chefs.
I'm not trying to pit them against each other (as I appreciate their contributions), but who's your favorite chef, and what is his/her best "dish?"

i like schaps but i dont like the purple. other than that, no problems with it.
just a personal preference
I cant wait to start messing around with this stuff. Hopefully i stop dropping calls lol as well as gain performance.
Schaps makes good ROMs. But does not have a HTC phone so the support is not there. With the Kaiser i suggest a vanilla (clean) ROM and install the programs that you like to storage card. There is plenty of memory in this phone to do that you need.
Would you consider Dutty's "lite" ROMs to be "vanilla?" Or are you talking about stock ROMS?
Now I'm noticing that there's "XDA Live." Anyone want to explain that to me? Are there certain blokes on this forum who make "official" ROMs for this site?
Confused.
I'm running XDA-Live and it is most like the stock ATT ROM- Kyphur pretty much took the stock ATT ROM and stripped it bare, (vanilla ROM). Graphically it is not at all like Schaps/Dutty's etc. They are using the stock HTC ROM as a base with the huge clock and the HTC Home layout and icons. I personally don't like the visual layout of those ROMs and think that clock is taking up WAY to much valuable real estate. With XDA-Live you have alot of free storage and you can add anything back into it that you want. Really customizable.

How about Custel or Q-Mobile or Sleuth or Alex? Maybe I'll just post a survey...
Is it possible to go back to the stock ATT ROM. Ive had it with dropping calls freezing. Time to flash this thing.
Stock ROM date
I love the ROMs being cooked up here on these forums.
However, before flashing any of the ROMs, I now believe a little research is important. For example, I bought a TyTn II just this week, and its stock ROM shows a date of Oct 29, 2007. Whereas the latest Dutty ROM from December 12 shows a base date of Aug 28, 2007. Thus important official changes from HTC could be lost by flashing to a ROM with an base date earlier than the officially released ROM.
Is there any place where ROM wizards post a ChangeLog in a sticky thread? There's all kinds of new ROM threads floating around, and it's hard for a noob to figure out which version of which ROM to use.
I actually loaded Dutty's latest rom, and my phone is extrememly stable right now. Havent dropped a call, calls have better quality and are louder. Phone moves much faster as well. VERY happy with my phone that i was about to use as a paperweight yesterday. lol.
What is Dutty's latest rom?? Never even heard of it lol link?
Okay Here is my problem I have a Tilt and want to upgrade to WM 6.1 but I don't know which rom I should go with (The one from att, Hyper Dragon, Dutty, etc..). Does anyone have any opinions on which upgrade rom I should go with?
Also side question WTF is up with the SD cards not showing data anymore after a while?
I used Hyper Dragon and its been fine. Again, it all depends on what you do with your phone
I want something stable and but speedy. I get my email, use S2P, Surf with Skyfire, use TL as today screen, use Final burn for Neo Geo games and need it not to freeze or screw up like it does now with 6.0. I Have a lot of multimedia so I need free ram (if possible) because people always ask to see it since my job is to sell phones and I need to "wow" customers with it.
I don't know if that helps to narrow it down but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
I have tried them all and always seem to go back to HyperdragonIII. In my opinion its the fastest and most stable and Manila2D works and looks great. I would try the 11th oct version as it has no bugs that i can find and some of the newer builds are more experimental. Follow the link in my sig to the HyperDragon Thread.
Edit: If you require a non Manila2D Rom to show your customers then 5th sept is the best for HyperDragonIII
I would go with the offical update or a NATF rom. I like NotATreoFan's roms because they are clean and quick, but I would suggest just tyring out WinMo 6.1 first (with the offical update). You may find you prefer WinMo 6.

So true
Unfortunately once a phone is upgraded, it's not as easy as running the older ROM RUU for reverting either - there's lots of hoops to jump through as far as reverting is concerned.
I Have my opinion of what ROM is best. But this may differ for you.
Thread Closed Pursuant to the guidelines set forth in the Kaiser Section Announcement and Forum Policies.
I might be being naive, or too demanding, or even the only person that might be having a wish like this, but still, it's something I would really appreciate.
As most of you are aware, the T-Mobile 6.5 ROM is leaked, and after playing with it for a while, my personal opinion is it seems much smoother then the WWE ROM.
But despite the fact I have a T-Mobile device, I'm living in Europe, and would be much happy with a rom without the bloatware(well, ok, maybe they are useful for T-Mobile customers, but total bloat for me). And also the lack of the connection setup wizard, is much of a problem to manually enter the settings.
So, as a result, I'm asking if the wonderful chefs we have, would be bothered with cleaning up the T-Mobile ROM, adding the Connection Manager, and end up with a ROM that will be pretty much a WWE stock ROM with no customizations.
Thank you =)
I have begun cooking something similar to what you request, but reached the conclusion that it would be best to have a clean version of HTC's rom for europe and use only the radio from this rom, specially if you are not a t-mobile subscriber
Well, that's what I am doing at the moment. But considering the fact that, this new ROM claims to fix some known bugs.(like the ghost messages on manila) So what I thought is it might be better having a ROM that has the new leak as core, but not much diffrent then the Europe ROM. Thank you =)
see if this is what you requested:

Pretty simple. Dump the shipped ROM with EVKitchen, and take out what you dont need...and then re-cook it...
Hi everyone,
I have a T-Mobile TP2 and have been torn on whether or not to upgrade to 6.5 for some time now. Well I finally decided to go for it, but then came across the official unbranded HTC rom.
My question is (dealing only with official release updates from tmobile and htc):
Who has upgraded to both branded and unbranded and can relay pros and cons of both compared to 6.1 and each other? Or has anyone heard enough about both, or can give me any relevant information?
Also, do I need to HardSPL in order to flash the HTC rom?
I'd really like to lose all the bloatware and sh!tty splash screen and everything else t-mo, but I don't know if there is any clear-cut advantage to doing so.
Also, if I am completely daft and missed a similar pre-existing thread, please inform me of my mistake. Same goes if I posted in the wrong section, this is my first post in evar.
THANKS!!!
Put Hardspl on your phone and you can test yourself You can always go back to the 6.1 rom.
is there a stock manila 2.5 ROM offered by t-mo?
if not, 2.5 + CHT is definately worth using the HTC ROM.
I would not mess with Sense 2.5 unless it is cooked. You need a lot of tweaks to make it run smoothly on the TP2, especially in HTC messaging. I am using a cooked version of the T-Mobile stock rom with Sense 2.1, has been the best and most stable rom for me yet. Sense 2.5 is good if you don't mind giving up some performance for new features. Sense 2.1 is what our devices run best with. Hope this helps you decide.
EDIT: In comparison to WinMo 6.1 with TF3D, upgrading to 6.5 with Sense2.1 will in my opinion make the device run smoother. 6.1 is a very solid OS and works well with TouchFlo to make scrolling much easier. However, I say if you can upgrade the device to 6.5 without losing performance go for it because it is much better integrated than TouchFlo, making the touch experience much better. Through my testing, the TP2 functions best with WinMo 6.5 with Sense2.1. The newer WinMo builds are probably better off using on the HD2 and other high performance devices. Same thing with Sense2.5, it can run smoothly but you will be giving up some speed as well as memory and battery life. I have come to terms with my phone, lol... Nothing beyond Sense2.1 and WM6.5 from now on. But you have to test on your own to see which you like better. Good luck!
I've been cooking own ROM for a few weeks now, and it's a T-Mobile no frills ROM.
It's not quite finished, but it's very stable and the battery life is excellent. I could always use another tester if you're interested.

You would have to hard SPL to use the HTC ROM.
The Official WM 6.5 is a sense 2.1 version, but you would not need to hard SPL.
Thanks for all of your help!
I'm still not sure what i'll do for now, but i'll probably end up just biting the bullet and becoming an addict. I'll start with the official sh!t and gateway into flashing every stable rom that exists lol.
I'm selling my Kaiser on eBay so I'd like to install a nice-looking, feature-packed ROM but stable and easy enough for a non-tech user. Any recommendations? Thanks
Planning to do the same on Craigslist, so I would like to know too!
I could revert back to stock but thought it might be nice to sell it with WinMo 6.5.
ROM should have all the standard apps (incl. Office! Which are missing in some ROMs)
Nobody has a suggestion?
If I were you. I would put the original or some other stock rom on it. Putting a custom rom on ity would be an appealing " wow " factor for some. But it would cut down on a lot of interest from people that know nothing about custom roms and would shy away from buying an " altered " " hacked " phone. Aside from the fact that if something, that was not your fault, went wrong with the phone, the buyer could demand their money back, saying they had no idea you hacked the phone.
To get the quickest sale and the most interest , and to protect your sale, I would flash the original rom back.
omg I am going to go against what Denco said.. I would put Stylze ROM on there. It's beyond sexy.
Denco has many good points though.
I am running dutty's ROM wit no issues.

Duttys last rom is about 2+ years old. You can get a much much better ROM now days.
I thought it would have been nice to put a 6.5 or WP7 (even if it is only a skin) ROM on there but agree that it is probably not worth the hassle when selling it.
Most buyers are idiots.
6.5 ROM
Since the original ROM was 6.1 (I think) I thought WM 6.5 would make it more appealling. Most users won't flash their phone so I want to install a WM 6.5 ROM that won't have bugs but still will be a nice touch. It doesn't have to be a ROM with lots of features, just stable and with WM 6.5.
I've been out of the loop for awhile..
Are the 6.5 Roms still Beta's that expire?
