Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.
...................... Ok. Search through this site and read!! It will tell you how to do everything. I hereby introduced you to the flaming...
I've read through the thread that was posted today, but was curious if I needed to install a cooked rom or if I could install this on the AT&T ROM. I want to know the success of this because I don't want to brick my phone. Thanks.
When it comes to technology, nothing is forever. You can flash a different cooked rom and always flash back to the original state. Once again search. Everyone has different flavors so you are bound to get different opinions on which ROM is suitable for you. Go to the Kaiser-Rom and Developement thread and look around. Read Read Read. When you feel comfortable attempt a ROM upgrade.
P.S.
Why would you want to flash a 6.1 ROM on the HTC site (whenever it comes out)
Their are chefs on this forum that make way better ROMs withougt all the junk apps nobody uses. Just my 2 cents.
I think we can close this thread now.
which rom are you using? On my tilt, I just have the WM 6.0 not the 6.1. I've tried the HTC site, and I've read that it's out, but nowhere to be found on HTC's site. I've signed up as a e-club member. But I'll keep looking.

Asking people to give you an opinion on the best ROMs is against forum rules. Not to be a stickler, but as it is peoples opinions, there are likely to be many different views as to which ROM is best. The best thing is to read this thread to be sure you have set up your phone correctly. You have 2 choices, either going the USPL or the HSPL route. You will see the pros and cons of each route in the thread.
I would also suggest reading the ROM threads in this forum where you will get a sense of how well the ROM is working ie any major bugs (or not) and then try a few of them yourself and see which one suits your needs best.
i still do not understand why opinionated posts are forbidden but anyway. until this thread gets closed, here is my opinion:
check out miri's rom because it has been very stable for a long time and a day after a new build is available you will get an updated rom.
just make sure that you also flash the latest radio rom.
prior to flashing make sure that you install hspl on your device.
for everything you need (hspl, radio, wm6.5 rom) there is a link in my signature.
Fast becoming a one-to-one Q&A thread
Please try searching & reading

I have just installed the new HTC ROM (1.19.401.1) over my original Vodafone ROM, but have noticed that for some reason I no longer have an FM Radio. I used to use it quite a bit on the Vodafone ROM, so any ideas why its missing on the official HTC ROM and more importantly, how do I get it back?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521356
or install EnergyRom Genesis (see my sig), the ROM is much better than stock and the radio app is already installed. The standard version is extremely stable, with the added bonus of WinMo 6.5, you won't look back!
Just a note of caution. You would have to install Hard SPL on your phone to install/flash any custom ROM. Which would void the warranty of your device.
Almost all Custom ROMs that are released here on XDA have FM Radio installed in them. So you can try any ROM.
But you are someone who is not aware of how ROM Flashing works... please take time to read through the stickys first before going ahead with it.
Its DEFINITELY not like installing a CAB.
Good luck.
Thanks for that. You are correct that I am new to flashing ROM's - although I have been using HTC devices for sometime now - but seeing as Vodafone have been so unco-operative when it comes to updating their ROM and also insisting on their horrible Red theme, then I figured I'd give it a shot.
I suppose worse can scenario would be if the phone ever needed to go back for repair, I could also ensure that the latest version of their ROM was installed.
Question answered.
Please search and read the sticky posts before starting a new thread. You'll find most common questions are answered somewhere .
Thanks

I am using HTC Touch Diamond2 Topaz and I am very new to Windows Mobile world. I am just confused with what is manila/sense? Why it's required and how to download it for HTC Toudg Diamond2 model?
Sorry..if it's very basic question..?
My ROM version: 2.17.707.1 (68613) WWE.
I have updated to WM 6.5.
In Device information, i don't find the Manila version. Whether I need to download it and install.
Touchflo 3D, the user interface, is also known as Manila.
Sense is described as 'a user experience' based on Touchflo 3D. It's the 'extra' bits, that personalise the phone if you like. It's supposed to make the UI seamless and intuitive.
Hope that helps.
Thanks for your quick reply.
I don't find the manila version in my HTC Toudh Diamond2 and only ROM version. How to install manila and what is the latest version is suitable for HTC diamond 2 WM 6.5 model?
To clarify, TF3D is now known as 'Sense' in the newer versions. You have Sense 2.1. There are Sense 2.5 versions out there but to use them you would need to update your ROM to a custom one that has it built in.
Hope this is clearer.
Thanks DirkGently1.
And one more query on this.
So by default/WM 6.5 has Sense 2.1. If I want to upgrade it to Sense 2.5, i need to update the ROM, so that the softwares installed so far will be deleted. Am I right? or Sense 2.5 will be in CAB and install it and do a soft reset will do?
How/where can I see the sense version in my HTC Touch Dimaond2?
Where can get the SENSE 2.5 version? for htc offical website.. any help..on this

You won't see the Sense version, but the manila version will tell you if its sense 2.1 or 2.5. If you read up on both, you will see the differences and know which you are on.
There may be a cab installation of a newer manila w/Sense 2.5, however it is recommended to be cooked into the ROM, therefore flashing a custom ROM is your best option.
Make sure you thoroughly read the flashing guide and understand everything.
Ask in that thread if you have any questions about it. Its all quite simple, just make sure you HARDSPL first, or you have an expensive paperweight.
Enjoy, and I guarentee that you'll be happier than what you get out off the box with these devices.
Thanks for your help bruce.
however it is recommended to be cooked into the ROM,

Yes, sense 2.5 has been ported over from the HTC Leo. HTC has not released sense 2.5 on the TD2 AFAIK. Therefore your official stock ROMs are all 2.1.
First read the very first thread under Topaz General- "flashing giuide- start here" thanks to Drag-on.
This will tell you about HOW to flash and all of the necessary steps.
To find a cooked ROM, go to the ROM developement section. Most threads there are ROM threads by various chefs. Even though it may be hundreds of pages in length, it is very impotant to read the first 5 posts which are usually bug reports and fixes, etc. the read at least the last 5 paged of posts to see what the current bugs are.
I am quite pleased with the ROM listed in my signature (which is a clickable link), that is a WM6.5 w/ Sense 2.1.
Hope this helps. Happy flashing.
here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585457
hope that helps (in there, there is another link which will take you to your first flashing steps)
I have a question... if you don´t know what is manila, Why do you want to upgrade?
Bruce Inman/Drag-On,
Thanks for your reply and I will try with the cooked ROM.

I am using the Windows Mobile for the first time and using it for about 1 month. I am jsut learning on how to improvise my phone look and feel and performance..any new application to try it out.
By going thru' the beginners guide, I got some idea but still want to confirm it what I thinking is right/wrong? Anyway, some of the users from this thread are helping me by answering queries. Gradually, I will know all the technical terminology and will rock with the cooked rom.
Maybe I'm the only person ever to ask this seems how a search brings up everything but, I would like sense 2.5 but i dont want all the other stuff that is different about the roms that people cook. Has anyone cooked a rom that the only difference from their cooked rom and the OEM rom is that it has sense 2.5? This is what I'm looking for can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks,
Luke
Oh yeah the type of OEM like rom I'm looking for is for ATT tilt 2, Yes I want the ATT bloatware that comes with it.
HTC have some official ROMs with Sense 2.5 I believe, though that won't have the AT&T stuff obviously.
sense 2.5 requires alot of new dependency pkgs, so just replacing say att 2.1 manila with 2.5 doesnt work. htc has released official rhodium roms with sense 2.5, just do a search for rhodium 2.07 europe or check the wiki. also you can learn how to cook your own rom, if you are interested go over to Chef Central and do some reading if you have any questions we will try to help you all we can.
