Flashing a ROM - Quick Question - Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading

Before I flash a custom ROM on my phone, should I "clear storage" and then install the latest T-Mobile ROM?
Also, I haven't been able to find a more stable ROM than the HERALD.ASerg.WM6.1.WWE. Has anyone familiar with this ROM found a replacement that is as stable, since the ASerg ROM is old.
Thanks,
-Adam

Nah... no need to throw that on there... it's going to be swapped out with something better... given that you flash it. Throwing the stock rom would be like waterboarding your fone... no need to put it through that kind of torture. Hehe Aftershav3d is pretty clean to be honest... if I may make a reccommendation.

One thing you should know before flashing is that there is no perfect ROM. Every ROM is different, and suits different users. One ROM might be ultralight and fast, but lacking in features that some users want. Others might be more feature-filled, but also slower and more bloated as a result. One ROM might be very stable, but not terribly fast nor very feature-filled. And another ROM might be a bleeding edge, latest build ROM which is very buggy and unstable, but shows the latest Microsoft advancements. In short, you need to flash all the ROMs that look of interest to you before you can decide what ROM you want to use.
If you install HardSPL on your phone, then that doesn't limit you to "cooked" ROMs, you can also install any official ROM that you want.

on what rom are you: stock (original) or custom rom?
and what kind of rom do you want flas?
in general: rom sticky section is where the info for both rom kinds and how to flash them can be found
Generally, from what I noticed (and used) It seems that ever developer posts a from scratch guide to install their ROM, or at least posts a link to the "from scratch part" Generally, find the ROM and follow their directions. Doesn't matter too much what your coming from... You can always just be safe and start from scratch until you understand it a little better. Devs her are awesome like that.

i am using |X|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23542/21892 |Mar 5| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila ★.
i dont want to change my rom yet, this one is pretty awesome, except for battery life. But, if i want to go back to the stock rom, would i just transfer it to my sd card, and follow the steps that you do to every rom?

[Q] Roms for the tilt 2 by htc

I have a tilt 2 with 8/30/2010 update n its suck i was wondering wats a good custom rom to use that dosent freezes up or runs super slow n were to download it at
We get at least a dozen new users asking this question every couple of weeks. The response is always the same. This is like asking a community of peers which pants are the most comfortable. It's a matter of opinion. Flashing doesn't harm your device at all (if you follow instructions), and it's simple to restore it to factory settings if you need to send it in for repairs or replacement. Therefore, with no downside to flashing ROMs, just keep flashing them until you find something you like.
Most ROM threads will tell you within the first couple of posts most of the goals of the ROM, and whether they are cooked for speed, looks, or stability. There are also pictures on most all of them so you can see it before you flash. Flashing takes minutes, so why not just spend a day or so testing a bunch of them out. I've been flashing for a long time and I still don't stick to just one ROM.

I got the same problem with this ROM from AT&T. I called HTC and they admit that there is a memory leak problem in the HTC Sense built into that version of the ROM. So does anyone have a ROM with a better (or later) HTC Sense that works, i.e. fast, no memory leak, and no lockup?
Thanks.
The best advice that can be given to those in your situation (besides HardSPL'ing your device) it to
1) Pick a ROM on this very board.
2) Flash it to your phone.
3) Use your phone.
4)
a) If you like it, then your problem is solved.
b) If you don't like it, do steps 1-3 until you get to step 4a)
Software Version 1.59.502.3
Will this new software version be a huge upgrade from my current version without losing any default features that I now have?
Consider using Wildchild's ROMs. They are pretty much stock look/feel, but faster and much more stable.

Yep. Bluetooth works great. Actually everything works great. Its a ROM where everything works as it should. Keep in mind, bloatware is removed, but all the core stuff works perfect.
Thanks - where is the best place to read up on with instructions on how to do this?
Try the flashing your first Rhodium ROM tutorial sticky.
Thanks - it appears there are several versions of the rom, so I have a lot of reading to figure out what the differences are.
Do you have any preference?

I use the 2.1 ROM from Wild Child and it is absolutely the best. Has everything I need and nothing I don't. It is fast, stable, in my mind, the way it should have been from the beginning. It is a rock solid ROM.
This is the one I was going to flash on my phone, but after hours of working on it with F2505x4 we could not get it to flash. There was an issue with the HardSPL. I ended up flashing the updated AT&T stock rom instead for now.

Ready to ROM

Ready to ROM but first a few questions please.
I think I know what I am doing had a N1 before some @[email protected] walked off with it.
I am rooted, thanks to XDA
I am going to use Titanium backup to back up my Apps
Use ROM Manager to back up my current OEM Rom the flash new ROMs
Coming from N1 I ran nothing but Cyanogenmod and I loved them they were clean and very stable. Looking in the ROM section I do not see Cyanogenmods?
I want a ROM that is really clean, fast and completely unbranded. I mean when it powers up I want no AT&T logo or Rogers log for the matter.
My current Rogers ROM has little bloatware but I get the feeling some of the ROMs here may have AT&T junk.
Any recommendations on a ROM that I would be happy with? Stable, clean and completely unbranded?
Clean Roms
Well, the original boot will have the white AT&T screen for just a moment on all ROMs that I've seen.
Other than that, ALL custom ROMs get rid of AT&T bloatware and unlock potential of your phone. Most work well with most phones.
A few additional steps you want to take before going further... know your make number (1008, 1009, 1010, etc). You need to know you can flash back to stock using Odin in some form, shape and/or fashion in the event it all goes to hell.
You need to know if you can boot into download mode using the button combinations included in the threads. If not, you need to be sure to get the right ODIN package that will enable you to do so. If you don't, if you get hung, you're really hung.
As far as recommending a ROM, I personally prefer AdamHolden's ROM's. I think he does good work. He is currently working on the PHOENIX ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892973
DesignGears also does very stable ROMs (Cognition and Perception). My first ROM I ever flashed was his cognition ROM, and it clued me into the true potential of the phone and of custom ROMs.

I hope this helped.

[Q] BEST ROM with working FLASH PLAYER on cdma hero

Hey guys I'm a noob and sprint decided to give me a hero do to my defective noment I took it over the intercept because of the support here on XDA and I've been lookin around and I like but my question remains what's the best rom for the cdma hero that will still allow the flasplayer to work any ideas or ways to keep makin it work. THANX
Unfortunately, full flash support can not be achieved. There's a light version out there, but I don't know how well it works.

I believe Nfinite's Roms have Flash Lite, and then using a browser like Skyfire gives additional flash support as it deals with it server side.
Use Nfinites rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849024 there and then do a search for Zen's Any Kernal with no Perflock. It makes it an extremely snappy Sense Rom. Only Sense has the Flash working, none of the AOSP roms do I believe.
Only downside is Nfinite is on Hiatus due to some personal stuff but he has popped back in and said he isn't gone, just dealing with it and plans to update again soon.
my replyo
ok thanx so fo example even I port the flash light apk (htc flash player) can I at least use that on the aosp rom or the cm 6 or does they need the sense to even aollow it to work ? I just want to be ready to root asap when the hero arrives tomorow
You cannot use those functions in an AOSP rom, has to be with sense.
Ok one last thing before I do this once I get my recovery going and I'm rooted of course I do a data wipe then apply a zip (rom) file correct and if I want to try other roms repeat the proscces. Right just want to make sure. That's how I would do it on my moment

Yes you would go to recovery, do a factory reset, wipe Dalvik, Cache, etc and then you can flash the new zip for the rom you wish to try.
Most roms will have a sort of guide or instructions, some have things specific to the rom being flashed, so make sure and read the full post, and maybe browse the thread for tidbits that users have had to say about the rom.
