Which Rom? :confused:

Hello everyone! I recently purchased an O2 XDA mini S. It was originally a German O2 contract and I want to change it to an english/american non O2 branded system. Which Rom should I update with? I have visted the wizard folder in the FTP, but there are so many different ROMs. I can't tell which ones are good plus meet the english / non-branded criteria.
Thanks for any assistance
(As you surely guessed, I'm not a developer. Please excuse errors in terminology etc. )
****EDIT - Just realized that this should go in Wizard updating. Please move if possible****

At first you must CID-unlock your phone, if you want any ROM with edited OS version.
And than you can flash: Faria`s ROM, Ridsoro`s ROM or mine and Jimm98y`s superrom, and others.
Look at the forum and choose that, what is best in your opinion

Make sure you do your reading before you do anything else. You can really **** up your phone if you dont know what your doing.

the WWE stands for world wide english.. i guess this is what ur looking for

There are thousands of posts on the same.
Maybe I can make the question simpler
What is the Best and Most Stable ROM available at the moment?
Is there a thread whcih contrasts all hese different ROMS?

I think that's a great question... in fact, the answer should almost be stickied:
"What is the best and most stable ROM for a non-advanced user?"
Gotta run; somebody should set up a poll. As of right now, and my knowledge is definitely limited, I'd vote for Molski 2.26 Final.

Which Rom to use
You're going to get as many answers as posts on this one. I think xelencin's is the best for newbies:

a poll on this would be cool.

Rom Updates / Customs roms (from a newbie)

Hi All,
I've just got my new Touch HD but have never entered the world of custom roms before.
My current ROM is 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE dated 10/24/08. I've just updated the radio version to 1.10.25.25. My HD seems quite slow and generally I'm quite disappointed with it. That said I was quite disappointed with my HTC Tytn until HTC released a new rom.
From reading this forum there seem to be many happy people so I suspect that the software in my phone is more at fault. I've seen the new Arabian rom that has been posted. It obviously won't install on my UK model (I'm not tied to a mobile carrier) without me tinkering, but I wondered if there would be any benefit in me uploading it. Does it invalidate my warranty or can I reset the original rom should I need it repaired?
As a rule do custom rom makers use the latest offical release and then tweak them? What are the benefits?
I'm sorry for so many newbie questions. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction of some great "simple" instructions I would be grateful.
Regards
Jonathan

hi bro welcome to XDA.
Everything regarding flashing, upgrading and choosing from cookded roms , official roms and valuable information can be found here for Touch HD thank to HDUSER for updating here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
good luck

The first couple of pages in the wiki are a bit complex if you're new to all this and have never customised your phone. Loads of unneccessary info (which is nice to know, but not always important). The easiest way by far to flash your ROM would be using SPL and flashing from your SDcard. Search the forum, as there one or two threads specifically abpout flashing for n00bs.
There's one specifically I'm thinking about which really helped me out, but I have no idea anymore which one it is and I can't be arsed to search for it for you Search is your friend (search for: flashing ROM n00b newbie).

Which Rom and Radio To Download

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.

Which ROM do you use?

Hi guys,
wonderful forum.
I´m searching a stable Rom without advertisments or provider things.
I´m comming from the htc - site, but my girlfriend decided to buy a X1.
At htc we got our dutty with stable rom. Whats about the X1, is there a rom dev that create wonderful and stable roms?
Thx

Looking for ROM 21854 based

Hi all.
I have a request to the chefs.
For quite a while I was trying to find the most stable (for my purpose) ROM for my Blackstone. At the moment the best I have is Sunrise 2.7 - perfect in my opinion. The only problem is - I'm not good with French...
My question is: Can someone cook a new ROM for me please in English? Or post a link to the existing one? I didn't found any...
Alternatively, you can advice which ROM is most stable, quickest and most reliable? It takes few days to try ROM, so obviously I haven't try them all.
Thanks in advance,
Yeramihi

Unfortunately mate there is no such thing as the perfect rom. Everyone has different tastes, favourite chefs so what I may consider as being the most stablest, fastest etc, you may disagree etc etc
If you have found a rom already which you consider ticks all these boxes except for the French part, why not ask within that rom thread, you may find other french users or that chef may make you a french rom
Alternatively you will just have to keep searching
Best of luck
