[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] SleepiTyme:
This thread is for people like me, who don't know what ROM to choose from a list of many ROMs from many great chefs.

I am keeping my poll options empty for the time being as I have only played with a few ROMs without any guidance. I will begin to populate them as I start to see a few specific ROMs appearing consistantly.

I would like to ask the community of xda-developers to come by and help populate this thread with simple comments

and/or recommendations on what ROM(s if you have multiple devices) you use on your Rhodium/Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2 device.

Also, please also add what kind of user your are, or how/why you use your phone with 'said' ROM.

Additionally beneficial would be letting users know what ROM you recently used prior to your recommendation and the offsets you experience in general.

ie. ROM A is the one I recommend. However, ROM B does a few things a bit better, although ROM A is the one I would recommend to people who like smooth, quick eyecandy filled ROMs.

I also ask for intelligent, constructive critique on what you think about the ROM that you are commenting upon.

No one needs to know about what piece of profanity you would like to tack on 'user A' for saying '10101' about 'ROM B' or vice-versa.

This is meant to be a resource for new users to xda-developers, like I was, and to new owners of the HTC Touch Pro 2/Rhodium, Windows Mobile phone.

Candidly, I would like to have the moderator's support in keeping this a clean thread to have an easier (and more pleasant) navigation throughout the thread.

I would like to start off with creating a list of ROMs organized by chef name and OS/TouchFlo 3D version.

Underneath each ROM and their links (I will either find the ROM myself, or if you can be so helpful enough to link it onto your post

within this thread), I will be adding the pros and cons that are mentioned here, and that I have found as well.

To let you know a bit about my bias, I am looking for the following items;

-Speed

--Not only operating speed, going from interface to interface, but also how it handles multitasking.

--I usually do these three together; GPS, music, web browsing/text messaging

-User Friendliness

--From first stepping into the ROM, to using it for a couple of days and seeing it's inevitable and understandable flaws and offsets.

--Customizing settings on the ROM, and the ease to have certain things.

-Miscellaneous

--Other things such as the way the ROM will handle things such as the

unsightly error of TouchFlo 3D 2.5 and it's lack of Landscape viewing ability.

--These items will account for my general accountability on the topic of

"Would I (highly) recommend to my friend, who may be the same as, or a completely different user than, me."

My history with phones;

I have first used Motorola phones, starting with the t220 (apparently one of the first camera phones) moving to the RAZR V6 MAXX

(quite a glam, nice looking phone with great features, but poor connectivity issues with network and bluetooth) and a few years ago

Sony Ericsson phones such as the W810, K850 and the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1a.

Most recently;

I have late last year, used a BlackBerry BOLD 9000, and in the past 3 months, trialed the Sony Ericsson XPERIA.

Without much ROM customization, the stock ROM was fun to play with, but lacked the easy access and user interface speed that

I have become accustomed to with the BlackBerry BOLD 9000. However, in seeing the Touch Pro 2 and purchasing it, I can now fully indulge in customizing

it with ROMs to fit my needs, though I am still painfully without hardware keys to have quick access to my browser, music or GPS.

However, I suppose the full 5 row keyboard makes up for the lack of hardware buttons elsewhere on the body.

Currently, I am using my Touch Pro 2, mainly as a resource device. What do I mean by this? I am using it with a SIM Card that only has data services.

I have installed programs such as Japanese dictionaries, phrase banks and linguistic aids to help in my study of the Japanese language.

I also use this for school (I am currently in grade 11, high school) using this device as my quick access to the internet (even though I have my blackberry).

I suppose having new devices is an obsession for me, as with a few others on here. :D

I'm looking for ROMs that will allow me quick and easy access to the programs that I frequent the most such as my Japanese programs, GPS,

music, web browser, notes, M-Soft Word and also allow me to freely multitask with them.

I know that this is mainly hardware dependent, but I have learned that some ROMs take up less RAM space, as to free up some more coasting speed for programs to run on.

Recommended ROM?

ROM used before recommended ROM?

Your network provider, phone (is it from/branded T-Mobile US, AT&T, Telstra, Sprint, TELUS)?

How/What do you use your phone? (Business, personal, school // As your main device, just as a (conference) phone, just as a mini internet tablet, etc...)

The pros & cons you noticed coming onto this ROM?

Who you think would benefit from using this ROM?

​

ADDITIONALLY;

I want to invite Chefs to either PM me, or post what (and who) they desire their ROM to be (for),

so that TP2/Rhodium users/owners can have a one-stop place to take a look at which ROM has what to offer (and to whom).

I will be adding the Chef's words beneath the ROM(s) they wish to comment upon.

The following post will before the ROM listings.​
