Closest to stock Sense 2.5? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

I don't want to know which is the best, or the fastest, or the best combo with which radio.
I simply don't know what the Stock HTC Sense 2.5 is supposed to look like and would like to know which custom ROM for the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 tries to keep it as close to stock as possible without adding tons of other things.
If you can help, thanks!

you need to do some reading in the rom threads and try some roms untill you find one that fits you best....thread closed

Rom comparison

Hi all.
Been reading this forum for a while, but only just decided to post.
I've seen a couple of cooked roms for the X1 which seem to be quite popular - one by jackleung and the other by itje.
I was wondering if anyone has an overview and comparison of the various roms available. It'd help somebody new like me to make an informed choice on which to install and weigh up the features available.
Thanks.
honestly, I tried the touch-HD 1.7 rom from Jack which is really complete but quite slow sometimes so I finally took the lite one 1.4 and then add the touch HD as a panel and now I have to say that it's much faster and smooth that anything I've tried before...

i would say its user preference. flash each rom and c which one best fits your needs.
I'd have to agree i tried all 3 of itje's roms and i only liked one. Since there are few custom roms for the xperia u can just try them all. If this was the touch pro thread i'd say we need some sort of chart
x1 will be x1...
rom without penal but touch flo, it seems a hd's rom...
no penal is okay,'cause we could install it by ourselves...
how about use the original rom of X1...
i get the rom kitchen,but i have no idea to cook rom..
I think its a great question, and a good idea for ppl to exchange thoughts about the different X1 ROMz. Without criticize the cooks ofc.

Spoilt for ROMs - Miri, At0mAng or NRGZ28's??

Hi all,
To anyone out there who has tried all three of what look like to be the best Rhodium ROMs here currently - which one would you recommend and why?
Miri - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552643
At0mAng - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555747
NRGZ28 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506
I'm about to load my first ROM and any feedback on which one would has the best stability with working Exchange 2007 + BT integration would be appreciated.
Many thanks
PS - pls no more "just read their threads" posts, have done that already and keen to get any first hand feedback
Let's see! All the information you want is in that respective thread! If you read them, then you wont need to ask. Also ROM performance depends on what you install and where you live! So you really cant compare what other users say.
Just read, flash and enjoy!

Seriously; the previous poster is right: it's all a matter of personal taste. You honestly can only judge for yourself, and your type of usage of your device.
Besides, there are more cooks, you forgot some ROMS in your list
Again: just flash, use the rom for a few hours, and try another one... after a while you will see what cook fits your need the best
I personally prefer At0mang's ROM's they are fast and stable and good for everyday use
Like anyone needs to ask...my ROM of course
My 2 cents
Hi
I tried all, and the Best as per my experience is Miri.
1- Not a single button push or option made my TP2 freeze. Other ROMs made it freeze. In one of the ROMs, the "other" button in the manila settings page made it freeze every time i click it
2- Other ROMs have built in software that did not work. One of the ROMs had "Bluetooth explorer" and "bluetooth wizard", and none of those could switch on bluetooth !!!! My experience is based on flashing more than once
3- The only thing that lacks Miri is modifying the icons on the taskbar to make them more eye candy (bluetooth, wifi, battery, GSM, speaker,...)

NRG might get the upper hand just because of his visuals.
Other then that, I think all is great.
udK rom....
Honestly speaking Miri's and B16B is the best ROM i ever tried. Well it depends on your requirements better try ALL and select which one is suitable for your TP2.
For me I'm still using the Shipped ROM + Hero Toch
I have to agree about the visuals, not only does NRG make a stable rom but its got everything you need pre loaded and looks fantastic, all other roms are still genius work, but still using NRG'S
On a serious note
The only ROM's I would use are my ROMs or NRG's ROMs. At least we do something creative with our ROMs and not just package up OEM crap.
How about getting a little orginal and also learning how to port a build instead of using the OEM sys. Oh yeah that is too much work without asking for help and then dropping people once you get what you want

Porting a ROM is not an easy thing!...I know exactly what u mean...
You'll notice that there aren't a lot of "which rom is best" threads, because they're terribly subjective and often lead to a lot of bickering. As such, it's standard policy to close these types of threads.

Best Leo rom on Touch HD?

I am looking for a rom for my touch HD.
surely i want it to look like the HD2, is there a rom that is just like the stock rom of HD2? i.e. HTC sense
or any other recomendations?
THANKS~
You've come to the right place. Try a few and see for yourself. Asking for opinions is going to get you 10 different suggestions as many of the chefs have very loyal followers and they will punt their chef as the best etc.
People also have differing needs and uses for these devices, so what is vital for a good rom for one person may be totally unimportant to you and thus the suggestion given will not be relevant to your needs.
thanks, but i just wonder whether there is one which is just like the stock rom of HD2...without other stuff added to it
I understand kwbr Vanila roms are fairly stock. miri and jakari also generally keeps roms close to stock, but again read the threads and see what they add in.
thanks alot~~

the BEST THING to do is to try and test some Leo HTC Man 2.5 Sense ROMs.
If you expect a ROM to be "just like the stock rom of HD2" you'll be dismayed
to know this will never be the case. (Although I must admire Cooks who port most of HD2 (Leo) feature to the Blackstone)
As you may know Hardware wise the Blackstone pales
in comparison to the Leo. HTC wouldnt even update
the Blackstone with Win 6.5 as they say it lacks the necessary Drivers,
but to all of us here in XDA this is a big lie, as we are all enjoying
Win 6.5 ROMS. (The best ATM is Kwbr Topix 3.2.3)

According to you LOL
If I understand correctly, he is looking for HD2-like roms. If this is the case, then any rom with (manila) 2.5 in the title will have the appearance of the HD2, not everything will be like the HD2, since they are different phones hardwarewise...
Many of them are tweaked by the chefs so you have to try em out to see which one you like

WM 6.5 Official Uncooked Upgrade, should I go branded(t-mobile) or unbranded(htc)?

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.

[Q] Best TILT2 rom?

I've tried a bunch and there always seems to be issues. Freezing/battery hogs/ wayy too much garbage.
What I'm looking for is a clean rom, with pretty basic stuff with sense 2.5 and htc messaging. can anyone point me in the right direction? Any apps that I want I can install myself.
at&t
I have read on the internet that AT&T is going to release a sense 2.5 update for Tilt 2 soon. I have a cooked rom installed right now that seems to work very well with only a few lock ups in about 5 months. It is a WCX rom you can find it easy in the first page of roms.

I have that new at&t one installed. it's evey nice but lags a lot and of course bloatware.
Energy series ROMs are by far the most popular and are constantly updated. I would recommend the Energy Reference ROM, it is the most like stock.

I tried one or two of his. I'm not sure if I tried that one but maybe I should give it a go.
I have released a new series of roms made exclusively for the tilt2...

There is no best ROM it's all personal preference, as every other user does flash ROMs till you find the one you wish to stick with, then flash some more to better it..
As with all best ROM thread thread closed.
