Oh I understand the whole to busy thing. I currently use NRG's ROM as well , always seems to do what I want with no issues.

As for linux on the HD2 good luck with that one. There are several Devs currently working on getting Android running on the HD2's hardware. Since Android is based on linux you would run into the same issues they are having, getting the software to run on the new SnapDragon processor.
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
I appreciate it is a pretty hefty time commitment but for the uninitiated (holds up his hand) it would be really useful to have a list of the main custom roms with a few lines giving a very brief summary of the selling points of that Cooked ROM.

This would allow us to scan down for the things that might interest us and go to the appropriate threads to read further to decide.

As it is, it is rather overwhelming to try to plow through all the threads in the cooked rom section.

For example some might want a similar-to-stock but with better radio functions, faster and stable.

Others whilst prefer ones with lots of flashy things cooked in etc
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Well you can feel free to start this thread you so desperately need. As well as keep up on it. The thing is that new ROMs are coming out daily and trying to keep an on going list of these new ROMs would get old fast. Usually each ROM builder will ist what he was trying to accomplish inside of his thread with in the first post. Most will same the same thing. They were going for a fast and stable build.

Like I said before about the only thing you can really do is look over the ROM choose whether you think it is right for you and flash it. Give it a test drive, if it works for what you want great if not onto the next one. Sorry this is not the answer your looking for but unless you want to step up and start making the list then it's not going to happen.
[HD2 General] sike222:
i was after something similar.

I am in need of a cooked rom as i have less than 2mb spare on my phone so need one. However, i have no idea which one to pick.

So if there was a thread with a real brief description of the pro's-cons of each cooked rom that would be a god send.

Please?
[HD2 General] wigwam12:
There was surely no need to be so arsey about this matter was there?:confused:
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Ya well sorry if I offended anybody but I'm sure most here would agree with me. It's not hard to read the first few lines of a ROM thread to see if it's right for you. If it's not after you flash it move on to the next one. Ya it sucks having to flash a couple to find the right one but that's the way it is. Keeping up on a list would be a pain in the ass. I also see no point to a list of pro's or cons of any particular ROM as most are built for the same thing, speed and stability. The only real differences you are going to see are what programs the person has loaded.
[HD2 General] sike222:
tbh mate maybe this is my noobish? But for me it is the fear factor of having never done it before and the fear of 'will i brick the phone'. So the thought of having to do it several times is not something i am keen to do. Maybe after i have done one i will be more laissez faire about the whole idea? but atm i want to do it once and once only.

i dont know the real differences between the roms? Is it really just programmes loaded on them? If it is then what is the quickest and stablest rom?
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
From what I see most all cook from the same files. Sure some tweak the reg settings a bit here and there while some might not. But for the most part they all do their little thing to make it theirs in some way. Themes that are load, programs that are loaded, and different sms clients. But like I said they pretty much all list their little tweaks in the first few posts, what they have preloaded,etc,etc......

As long as you follow the guides flashing is a simple affair and trust me you will have to reflash several times since going to a custom ROM will usually bring it's own set of problems. And because of this the ROM builders are always updating the builds. Whether it be because a new build version of Windows came out, or they feel some reg edits really make no difference, to change up the preloaded apps to newer build versions. It's on going. Welcome to the world of windows and the ever changing progress.

Now are you starting to understand why a list would be of no use. It would only link to a ROM that would most likely not even be close to what was originally posted upon. Things are always changing and to keep up with that would just be to much. So you flash till you find what you like and you stick with him for awhile or if the ROM works for you maybe you leave it for a bit. But at some point you will come back full circle and you will be looking for something better.

Like most I run NRG roms and have for some time. Sometimes I'll go a month or so with the same build while the ROMs build might have been updated once or twice. So you roll the dice back up the stuff you need and flash to the newest one it could be faster it could have more bugs. You will never know till you try it. If it doesn't work out try another ROM from another builder. No that wasn't it either ok flash back to the last ROM that served you well restore the file you need. Stick with it again for awhile till the urge hits you to try something new.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
Ok guys we all knew this was gonna happen j\k:D

"Best Rom" Threads never last long So it is time to close this one as well.

Here is the best advise I can give you. It envolves alot of reading, Most roms have a list of issues if any in the first few posts. So read over them and then find one that sounds good and give it a go. As far a bricking your device, yes the chance is there but they are slim as long as you read. Feel free to PM me if you have any more questions.

I just installed MS Office 10 onto my Tilt 2 and the moment the phone rebooted the phone service stopped working. Irritating. Anyone else run into this problem?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Just an update. Spoke with AT&T and all my services were fine on their end. I tested my SIM card in another AT&T unit and it worked fine. That only meant one thing, it was something in the phone that got blown up and a hard reset was in order. Sigh. After a lot of pain of reloading the apps and reconfiguring the phone so it'll tether at 2.98mbps (faster than my home dsl line!) it's back up and running. Truthfully the phone and applications are working much better than before the "crash." I was able to reload Office 2010 onto the phone without incident. Go figure.

[General Topics] MooGoo:
Does anything ever come of this crap? I've seen countless patent complaints like this leveled between warring companies that come with the request for the courts to completely ban the sale of either companies biggest products.

I'd love to hear an example of a case where such a ban was actually enforced by the courts for a significant period of time. I'm sure someone here must know of some.

I realize this is mostly tit-for-tat legal posturing, I just find the resultant headlines amusing. The full earth-shattering consequences of the shuttering of all iPod/Phone/Pad products or every single HTC designed smartphone is never really contemplated in the body of said articles.

Imagine...."TARGET SUES WALMART OVER STORE RELATED PATENTS, REQUEST IMMEDIATE CLOSURE OF ALL WALMART SHOPPING CENTERS"

Good luck with that.

[HD2 Accessories] exlixx:
If you are referring to the non-HTC one, beware of the cover being unable to lock to the device body. I had one from them and have since returned it to them. Till now the replacement hasn't come in yet.

While I'm waiting, I have already ordered the one from Mugen power. Just received it two days ago. It's too early to comment on the battery capacity but at least the cover locks well to the device body.
[HD2 Accessories] xaccers:
Ordered the HTC one with kickstand from mobilefun as clove were out of stock last week.

I've got an O2 Leo, and charging the battery resulted in the LED flashing green and amber indicating a problem.

So I've sent the battery back and should get a new one this week.

However, the battery may have been ok.

Others have reported charging problems with the larger battery on the O2 stock ROM, which is resolved by applying the latest O2 ROM from HTC.

My Leo now has this so fingers crossed when the replacement battery arrives I'll be ok.

Just got the same one as the link you have posted, yesterday. Charged it for the first time overnight yesterday, & been using it since this morning at 6am, now it's almost 6pm in my timezone, and the battery is now at 69%... And I am a heavy user - lotsa of calls (100-150mins) / smses (50-80) / mmses(10-15) during work, 3G connection always on, pushmail, twittering, photo-taking (10-20), always fiddling around...blah-blah... Usually, with my standard 1230mah battery, after 12 hours, I'm down to 15-20% with similar usage. :p

Here are some pics I just took of my BP-E400, and some together with its much slimmer brother. :D

And I must say that htcacc's response & service is outstanding & quick. Their sales manager, James is excellent!

[HD2 Accessories] leepriestenator:
Great photos!

Probably the clearest photos I have seen till date for the extended battery.

How good is the kickstand though?

I know it locks into place but is it something that might get loose and start to dangle over time?

Is there any tension for it at the joint connecting it to the battery cover or does it just flail about once it's been un-latched?
[HD2 Accessories] legend63:
Just ordered one .
[HD2 Accessories] coolfire:
Thank you for your kind words, buddy. :)

I think imho, the kickstand is really good. With some kinda spring-action-cum-tension, it actually flicks and locks into place, into something like an in-built groove beneath...If that makes sense..lol Oh, and it doesn't flail around too. ;)

You're gonna be happy with it! :D

Radio isn't undervolted, even with undervolted kernels.

Radio signal reception of Nexus is great. People reporting their network carrier problems as Nexus issues should make a valid comparison with any other smartphone before blaming something on their phone.

I like in extended home you can hide applications out of the application tray as well as put them into sub folders...

and I like in Helix how the home screen can rotate as well as the app drawer... and helix also has the ability to put four apps on the bottom of the screen that move with the app tray button as you navigate screens....

Any other Launchers out there I haven't stumbled upon?

I really liked the look and functionality of HelixLaucher2 (ability to hide notification bar, docking tray with shortcuts, more home screens, 2.1 3D app tray) but after a few days it seemed to be taking a toll on both my battery and system performance. My homescreen scrolling smoothness degraded as well as general loading times. Gmail really suffered for some reason and slowed to a near crawl.

After uninstalling all's normal again. But I miss the features for sure.

How do you make those icons in the bottom show up, where it shows you what windows you have open?
[Nexus One General] krabman:
The basics first, Dialer one is an excellent dialer, T9 contact search, speeddial, and many other benefits over the incredibly lackluster stock dialer. Handcent is my choice for texting, Barcode scanner will let you scan qr's and head directly to them on the market. BTW online is the best way to browse the market, android zoom http://www.androidzoom.com/ or appbrain http://www.appbrain.com/ are a couple popular choices. You can then put your spanking new barcode scanner to work as you farm the market.
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
Yeah that reminds me that I need to pick up Handcent on day 1 of my n1. I hear that its god's gift to android. Does it still do the voice-to-text thing?
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
I like handcent, but its such a bloated program. It doesn't seem to be slow though. I have been using the stock app lately just to see if I miss any features from handcent, and wit my usage, no I haven't, only a few minor adjustments to functionality. The stock app tends to handle sending messages when you have no signal then move into an area with signal. Sometimes in buildings I have poor signal and while holding the phone my signal dies. When this happens using handcent, the message will always be in limbo even after acquiring signal, and I must manually try to send it again. The stock app does not seem to have this issue.
[Nexus One General] paulk_:
That's HelixLauncher (not sure if it works on non rooted phones). Not sure which icons you mean as it doesn't show windows that you have open, so here's the rundown: It has an option to allow you to double tap on screen to preview your other homescreens, then tap on any of the preview tiles to move to that screen (those are the white tiles you see above the app icons). It also allows you to put 4 applications (not widgets) next to the app menu app menu icon, these 4 applications will appear in any of the homescreens you go to, just like the app menu icon.
[Nexus One General] Marine6680:
Helixlauncher2 is great as well, it looks like the native N1 launcher but with the same enhancements as the regular helixlauncher.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Yep, also text to voice. Bloat is often ascribed to handcent but to my mind that conjures up slow performance or features tripping over themselves. I never have slow performance and the extra features stay out of the way unless you use them. Even the ads only show up in the menu and so taking no screen real estate while using the application. I call it a winner, any application that hopes to supplant it is going to have to be totally on its game.

[Nexus One General] krabman:
You can have the dialer up and swipe horizontally between the call log, favorites and contacts. I do not use favorites as the old school speed dial (press and briefly hold any number from 1 to 99) is faster. The predictive search works very quickly to get to any contact and is faster than using contacts itself. I dont even have a contacts icon on the home screen anymore.
