Have you translated it for your own? The problem I see here, is that it is too much work, for too less users .

Yes. But I do it for me and if others would like it they can use it.
I use personally since 4 years devices from htc and my experience is that the german users are not so good supportet. Updates comes first for WWE devices and so on.
The german sector is always the last one. But in the last years I think the german sector is growing large but it was difficult to stay up-to-date.
This forum is always up-to-date and I think the best place to support german users too.
Hi Atze001, I fully agree with you - we have italian, greek and dutch roms here besides the majority of wwe roms. I am using htc hardware for 4 years as well and used a lot wwe roms on my wizard. on my Blackstone I am looking for stable GER roms only! please go ahead. i think we can expect a new German hd rom from htc soon as well. the diamond2 and pro2 are out for sale in germany as well. Currently i am using a PAQman rom from the german htc forum htc-developers.de which is very stable but old manila. I hope that the experiences from xda-developers and htc-developers.de are shared in a good way.
thanks for your good ideas! keep on cooking!
nice rom...but one question...is it possible to provide the original clock as cab. I guess each user has a diferent taste for those customizations.
nice work - how much ram is free after a some minutes?

Probably depends where you look... there's plenty of german forums with great support and the latest stuff for your HTC...
Nothing against xda-devs, it is WWE focused and I love it never the less
To the 9 people how try my rom please a little feedback would be great
Tomorrow will come a new version much better than before. I use a new base and add some new features.
V4 is now online
Top-ROM!
Fast, stable, newest build... in GER (the worldclock bug is gone:-D)
Very good modifications and tweaks, esp. coloured topbar, bigger scrollbars, preinstalled resco explorer, HD Tweak etc. The Manila-Home (transparent clock bg) is a question of taste and is for me harder to read in direct sunlight - u might think about that one...
the email-tab in manila slider isnt visible after hardreset, needs unchecking, checking et voilá
other than that - it´s a keeper
Hi,
is it possible to flash with USPL ?. I don`t want hardspl on my device for ever. In the moment I have the latest german stock rom loaded, after testing duttys rom

If I am ready I will make little cabs for the clock and anything. Currently I am working on v5 with more translations. I changed the base to get this rom faster and have compressed Manila and cut off all unneeded files (over 800).
Thank for your feedback

Yes. I think it was possible to flash via USPL. You can HSPL too and you can go back from HSPL.
Hey all,
using Duttys V3 at the moment, THANKS to Dutty for this great ROM...
been looking around quite a bit to find something that would suit my needs
and this one hit the spot...
I have been flashing quite a few ROMs the last couple of weeks and as
much as I like all the new things with the Topaz/Rhodium ROMs there is
ONE thing I'm not sure I can live without from the stock ROM and I can't
believe no one dumped and CABed it...
I like the new keyboard but my stocky fingers really miss the Compact
QWERTY Keyboard...
Has anyone been able to install a working CAB for the original Stock Keyboard
on a ROM containing the Topaz/Rhodium one? If so, care to direct me?
(I have searched and tried quite a few versions with no success.)
Bonus: To make it a tad more difficult... is there a language file supporting
Swedish T9 as well, it would make my day.
Best Regards,
Nik

I've seen some developements on this in the dev&hack forum, guys are reprogramming the topaz/rhodium keyboard so it can be used with compact qwerty.
But i cant find the thread no more... if i'll find it, ill post it.

Relative newbie here, and I can't find this using the search, so apologies if I missed it.
Will any of the chefs be cooking a 6.5 based ROM with Chinese support included for a T-Mobile TP2? While it's not that difficult to get the ability to read Chinese on a US based ROM (albeit with ugly fonts), adding a system-wide IME is a totally different beast.
Specifically, what I'm looking for is basically something like what would be released in Hong Kong - English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, all selectable, with all three IMEs in place.
Or is that probably the best option I'll get? Just find and flash a stock HK ROM?
this is a good idea !!! any one has some ideas ??
Install chinese character support.

Hello,
I got my first windows mobile device Diamond2 as a gift today and looking for a good OS here.
Can you please suggest one for me?
I will also download some from ROM page and try.
Do not forget to look into the WiKi before asking a question
Taken from the WiKi
Shipped ROMs for Topaz
Cooked ROMs for Topaz
Radio ROMs for Topaz
Success,
Senax
Thanks friend for reply.
I was just reading the WiKi page and seen all those.... but I am confused what ROM I should select SO looking for a generic feedback on what is good what is bad.
Actually I dont want ROM to be loaded with so many app. Looking for similar to what I have in mobile now but updated version...
I hope your device has latest Official ROM installed.
You will get all custom ROMs here which are mainly modify version of the Official ROM and has latest SYS/Builds and new Packages (new applications like adobe reader).
These ROMs are good, but NOT all ROM will satisfy every one. i.e ROM1 may good for person1 and person 4, but person 2 and 3 may like ROM2.
So it is good to test all available food and decide which dish tests you a lot .
Hope this will help.
Thanks.
With all the respect to your very correct and right answer (prabhat), this is in my opinion, very first and tha main problem, why the more and more people will switch to devileshed i-phone. The main difference betwen i-phone and wm 6.5 dev. is the "user-friendly" parameter. In no discuss, the wm 6.5 is more professional with more the features then the i-phone. But the people would like tu use the phone with satisfaction and enjoyness. Maybe the right answer for TD2IN will be something from you honest opinion, what do YOU think, that will be best solution for him/her. The ROM, which is stable, fast, simple, user friendly. The people need some help ... Have a nice day.
Here is my answer

Here is my answer, i has been using Stock, Energy Standard and now i switch to "eclipse Version 7 (Updated)"
The eclipse looks to me very close to the Stock and fastest with few useful Apps.
I amalso looking for a ROM here and new here.

Hey I am also new here but managed to get my ROM here
I tried several available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Cooked_ROMs_for_Topaz but atlast I am using Photon ROM and I am happy.
You may not like the same, but you need to atleast try 3-4 and select one that suite your usage/style etc.
I liked Dutty's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=579076
And Photon ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943396
As Dutty is not updating and Photon ha much stable and good so I am using that.
PIng me if you need more help.
Thanks for the reply friend.
I will start my process tonight and let you all know how it goes...
thank you

Did you get your ROM ?
I am still in the process to find my cup of tea...
I started with Dutty's ROM... but this has old version... so started picking others.
Now I have tested below softwares but yet to finilise one:
1) Energy ROM - The Energy Standard one
2) CR192 Mozart OS
3) Photon ROM OS - Stock edition one
I like the stock rom apprach of photon and energy, but energy has lots of application pre installed which I dont want. If I see CR192 that is also very good pick. So I am looking at battery life now and should be finilise in 2 -3 days.
thanks
energy roms and photon roms are great...
Energy ROM FTW
I tried a few ROMs with my Topaz and settled at Energy ROM (with start menu at top).
I used to install a load of stuff with each ROM and this was the most complete ROM with the most flexible Sense UI. The only 2 apps I needed to install on top of Energy is Skype and TomTom Navigator.
I like that it has the manual rotate programmed on holding the Answer button (I used to install a keyboard extender to do it before using Energy ROMs) so it can manually rotate apps not built for auto rotate like Tomtom. More importantly, I can turn off auto rotate on apps coz often I don't want auto rotate like when Im lying on couch/bed reading or using it for music. Fark I hate the UI rotating when I dont want it to! I find auto rotate an annoying gimmick made popular by Apple. Just gimme manual rotate, thx.
I prefer Resco Explorer to Total Commander but I havent bothered to install Resco and live fine with Total Commander that comes with the Energy ROM. I understand that Resco is not freeware so they can't include it.
I like that all the JAVA and DOTNET stuff is all done, has a good wireless hotspot app already, Opera with max tabs set for more than 2 already, TCPMP media player working well, RSS feed app, Twitter, Stocks tab .... I could go on and on. It pretty much has all the good freeware and tweaks and all the hard work already done for you.
I don't use my Topaz daily now, but I still use the same version of Energy ROM on my Blackstone (Touch HD) as my personal mobile phone. I used to also carry the Topaz with a data only SIM in it for internet access, but now I use a Dell Streak (android) to do that. Yeh Im crazy I carry TWO phones everywhere!
IF you wanna get up and going right out of the box, Energy ROM is the most complete and ready for the Topaz.
Instead I Liked Photon ROM and CR192 Mozart and currently running with Photon UX Edition.
I liked Energy, but that is toooooo bulky with so many applications which I dont require and to me looks ugly on my device and I can not remove those. In case of Photon ROM I dont have any extra stuffs so I can Install what I need not what some one gives me to use, whihc I dont require. I understand that there are many who may like what is given on the ROM that they use... but I like to have my stuff in my device.
Photon UX - plus Chinese support + handwriting ftw!
I've tried many ROMs in search of a better replacement for my TD2's sluggish official ROM (SEA version), and I've fallen in love with Photon UX edition and its professional looking background art.
Even better, I have managed to install Xyam's East Asian fonts support, Guobi for pinyin and character inputs, and Samsung's simple + traditional Chinese handwriting input V3.0 (my version comes from sanxingshouxieshurufa_8313 and fits the screen perfectly). Don't bother trying out the menu icon for the Samsung input though, the options don't work, only full screen handwriting is enabled. Otherwise, everything works perfectly as far as I can tell!
Thank you all for this thread which gave me a basic idea of what rom software I should download. I will download Photon ROM now... need to findout which edition I need there
Thank you all.
I have couple of questions in Photon ROM while downloading different edition of it... but this forum prevent me to post in the photon thread. Do I need to contact the owner of photon rom for this?
Thank you all.

Thank you.. but my id started working now and I can post questions there as well.
Have updated my Photon UX ROM version to 2.2 and everything still works well for me
Hello everybody,
I am starting to work on this wonderful phone because there's someone out there who is quicker on hw keyboard than on onscreen keyboards.
I have an xperia pro and a used doird4 for evaluation. I'm Italian and as many of you know, the xperia pro has different layouts for different languages (mostly). The nice thing about the stock roms (and their latest JB/ICS updates) of both phones is that you get suggestions over the physical keyboard that you can quickly select while typing, making the whole process quicker and nicer.
I tried to read tons and tons of posts on xda back in the xperia pro days, but what I understood that it was a custom Sony software. Turns out the droid 4 stock roms also have this kind of software feature.
Since newer versions of android actally work better with the most updated google services, why did this feature fall out from roms like cyanogen and carbon? What can we do about that? Who is responsible for the development of that piece of software?
For the moment I will try to load Mentor.37 's rom alongside cyanogen using BMM.
Sorry for the lengthy question, but I'm new in xda and it won't let me post in the right places. I would like to see also suggestions from other physical keyboard phones users on the issue.

Anyone at least can help me to inspect what piece of software is responsible for the hardware keyboard suggestions?
