Hey there! Thanks for coming to my thread.
I'd like to say first of all that i'm new at the romflashing thing and that I spent hours browsing and searching the forum for the right rom for me .. yet I wound up here.
I might be a tad too careful for my own good, but I really don't like messing up things I care for, like my new AT&T Tilt here.
So, I thought i'd appeal to the experts for some help.
I'm looking for a rom to replace the standard AT&T Tilt one, i've used the sticky guides and done the hardspl thing so I should be ready.
Here is basically what i'm looking for:
*While I don't care that much about the design I think the black design from HTC looks better than the standard blue windows today screen, yet i'm open for suggestions (I do like to be able to customize it with links as I please).
*I would like for the PDA to retain all it's functions, that's 3G, phone, wifi, using it as a modem for the pc, etc. All original functions, nothing cut away (Unless it's really useless, I probably don't know half the functions yet, please argument if this is the case for some) - this is really important, I don't wish to lose functionality and suddenly be unable to use the gps etc.
*Speed! I really don't like all the preinstalled programs, I wanna be able to pick out the programs on my own and fit it for my needs - keeping the programs at a minimal should also make the device faster, right? - Also, I live in Denmark så half the AT&T stuff I can't even use anyways.
That's about it, basically I would love a simple, clean rom that works fast and effective, and retains all the original functions of the PDA.
Oh, and I also would like to keep the office tools and such, or an alternative if there are better programs for handling such documents out there.
Sorry if offended someone by posting.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerly.
Michael Keller, Denmark
Edit: Perhaps I should note some informations about the PDA:
ROM version: 1.57.502.2
ROM date: 08/25/07
Radio Version: 1.27.12.11
Protocol Version: 22.45.88.07H
Then your choice is...
Q-Mobile v1.2 - see my signature
awww hell. just jump in and flash away. LOL
Look thru the first few posts of the different roms and see which one you like the best.
That surely sounds like a very good option!
I'm wondering though, the today screen from the original HTC, the one with the big clock and the 3/4 small icons underneath, is it possible to manually install that on top of this rom or?
Thanks for your help.

q-mobile 1.2 owns.
I second Gabriel31337, Q-Mobile v1.2

Sure the HTC Home can be installed manually on top of Quentin Rom.
In his wiki page Quentin gives all the info.

It's not always the case. As long as the pre-installed software is on demand, not that many registry settings, and doesn't get loaded at start-up, it won't affect the speed at all. Speed gain normally depends how the ROM maker tweaks w/ system settings and removal of unnecessary driver/servics. If the pre-installed software is useful for the user and he/she has to install it anyway, you got a big saving in time/space when you need to perform a full backup since most files are in the ROM and skip by the backup program.
For speed/benchmark comparision, you should check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358788 by Hery. My rom has LOTS of pre-installed apps but beat most of the lite rom variant in many aspect.
Fantastic, half an hour ago I were lost, now I believe I have everything I need. This forum and the developers should be praised
Thank you all for your help.
Michael
i didn't see any screens of the q-mobile v1.2 home...is it the same as HTC home?
n/m, i think i figured that one out...
Have you followed the link in my signature?
It's going to the wiki page, pretty nature.
There you will find everything you will need.
And much more indeed.
LOL
From my perspective the Ans. is Q ...
I tried several versions of each of the highly talked about ROMs and some that aren't discussed very much. Q-mobile is my favorite so far. Stable and junk free, maintains all the capability. The documentation is logical and clear. The author is excellent with concise answers to questions. From there you add on the nice things you may like to add. I added the HTC today with the customization app. The standard look is not worthy of such a beautiful gadget. Also added Quickmenu (not Xbutton or anything else that fiddles with or obstructs the upper right corner) for managing tasks and quick access to functions, Earthcomber, googleMaps, and Visual GPS for GPS applications (each have a different strength or advantage).
One word of caution regarding starting down this path. Addiction! It is so addictive for gadget lovers to feel the power they hold in thier hands and want to do more and more with it. You may find yourself virtually hovering for the next new thing to give you that power high! Okay, I am over stating it a bit.
By the way, this is not to take away from the awesome work being done by others. My second chioce is work done by Alex. I've seen all aspects of his work get really good and professional.
Since you are new to this, let me add another advisory comment. Really consider the fact that all of this work is voluntary spare time stuff and that the developers and users give free advice and time to help the community. I try to keep in mind that fact with everything both good and not so good. Free advice, opinions and sofware can be can be invaluable -or- worth what you paid for it.
Cheers, it's time for some hovering!
some years ago I played around with a qtek 2020 so i'm not entirely new, I just forgot most of it.
And indeed once I get everything set up and get an overview of what i'll use i'll donate a bit to all the contributors.
Thanks again for all the help.
Sincerly.

i'm about to upgrade my ROM right now to 1.2, but here's the all important question, does it have an integrated messenger like the tilt rom? i know there's an aim i can download, but i like the look and feel of the integrated one a bit better
Hi guys,
Yes, it's been quiet lately for NoThrills, but that doesn't mean I haven't been cooking!
I currently have a ROM in progress that I myself feel very comfortable with. As always, it has the lates applications available, but here are some other highlights:
TRUE Diamond build 19588 port (no Hybrid, full SYS and XIP ported)
Patched filesystem with 4MB additional storage (140MB total, 136MB free)
Optimised system files and patched kernel for additional speed and lower memory usage
Plus a secret I'm working on, but not sure if I can pull it off
I have been running this build for little over a month now and it's working well for myself. There might be things that I've broken though. And because I do not want to spend alot of time fixing things after I've unleashed NoThrills V4, I'm looking for beta testers!
Reply to this thread and I will select 10 people within the next 24 hours. I am looking for 'experienced' people, so people with < 5 posts will probably not make the cut
I will send you a download link and I would like you to tell me everything that's wrong in the next couple of days, so I can release my best ROM ever, currently planned for next weekend.
Do we have a deal?
that sounds like a killer rom !
i'm not a guru but have flashed a few roms so i'm in

Hi guys,
I'd like to try a custom ROM again, but with the almost 100s available I'd rather ask the question - I'm looking for a normal standard Raphael ROM with just the standard apps on as it came out on the Raphael.
So basicly just a straight dump from Raphael HTC rom to go onto a Kaiser (with the neccesary tweaks of course to make it work). No other personalised apps, schemes, etc etc.
Are there something like this?
You probably can port a ROM from Raphael.

Well seeing as how the Raphael has TF3D, that narrows your search down to about 2 ROMS L26 V4 or -G-'s SE TF3D! But if you are looking for simple and easy for daily use without alot of tweaking you are not going to want TF3D! I would go with -G-'s SE TF2D or Hyperdragon Raphael build! You are going to get alot of suggetions because ROMs are different for each person, the easy thing to do is ask but the best thing to do is try them out and gain valuable exp for yourself!

He could also look at -G-'s SE TL ROM. Gives about the same functionality as TF3D but is usable on daily basis

Or the ROM I'm currently using. Or just do like we did and try them, everyone's opinion here is definitely different. YMMV
flash, flash, flash no sleep needed you will find the rom you like, then sleep

Guys,
actually, have you paid attention to your programme memory of all those different roms. I found dutty's last one has the most programme memory 95M which I think was the reason why it is so fast and stable..
what do you think?

95mb not free but overall right?
this because have 6mb poolpage with this way have more mb free.. but is not so fast than dynamic pagepool
There are two types of people here, those that like flashing new ROMs every chance they get, and if I were a psychiatrist, I would diagnose those with ADD ( Attention Deficit Disorder candidates), and those that want a stable ROM that they would show it off to their friends, and keep it for a long time; a ROM that is reliable and fast and has many programs. The first type of people are adventurous however when they flash a new ROM, and if it glitches a bit, they get frustrated and wished they would have stayed with their previous ROM. BUT they go on and try other ROMs for hopes they come across one that is even better than their previous one they liked.
So which person are you? do you intend to flash often for the sake of flashing or you just want one that has most user programs and looks somewhat good? OK ... let us know and we'll guide you then toward the "Ultimate" ROM that would satisfies your curiosity and fits your personality.
To be honest, I've tried all Dutty's, L26, Hyperdragon, PDACorner, Garmin (3 editions) and I'm still unable to choose one !
When he was active Dutty was the best, but now all these ROMs are just beautiful, and I've been flashing for a couple of days, and still unable to make my choice.
It becomes frustrating at the end, because our Chefs are so great that they release a new ROM each week...
As someone said before (forgot who, sorry)

Hehe, very true! I've done the ROM hopping on the Kaiser and previous Vox, but is now more after the stable quick easy-to-use one ;-) Hence i actually moved back to a standard HTC ROM (but there's still that customization side that needs tickling...)
Thanks for the replies so far.. I'll the ones mentioned.

I always tend to flash that rom too, and then the cycle starts over again flashing over and over again. I can't go a weak without trying something different!

I got my tilt about 3 months ago, and have been flashing constantly! Yet to find the right one for me! All of them are good, but not perfect for me. And I dont want to cook, cuz I am too lazy! So I will keep flashing, but finding a perfect ROM is never going to happen!!

I wouldn't completely classify myself in the first category, as I know quite what I want and I know it isn't there yet. I love M3D roms and I do enjoy packing it full of features and everything. I have run L26's M3D rom for a while, and I just tried -G-'s for a day yesterday. But then many times those roms have enough issues pop up that make the phone basically unusable, and then I will back track to either a M2D rom, or even a HTC Home rom just for speed, stability, and in the case of the HTC Home roms, flawless landscape support. Then after a week or two, I start looking at the M3D roms again, hoping that there have been some fixes and work arounds and I start trying it again, and the cycle goes again!
And for what you mentioned about wishing to put the previous rom on there...Norton Ghost would be a great product for these phones!
Jason
So I have been trying out all of these roms for about a year now, learning how certain things work, which is fast, responsive, and looks sexier than my girl LOL. So far i have come to love the OTP roms and PDAViet roms (i just wish they could team up together on a super clean rom), but now i just want MORE! so i guess if i cant find one out there that i can be totally satisfied with, might as well just learn how to cook one. I wouldn't consider myself to be a noob, but i also wouldn't consider myself to be an expert cook. If anyone would like to help or give any feedback, i would greatly appreciate it.
Are you going for super stripped like my ROMs? Or a mix of stripped and OTP and PDAViet ROMs?
I tried to mess with the 6.5 on here with HyperCore to no avail. I'm a noob as far as Rom cooking goes. I messed around with some other Roms here to get use to it. Mainly wanted a smoother running 6.5 with my favs (Youtube, Opera, etc.) but when I used HC and the tutorial, it came out to like 8.5GB and got stuck on packaging (no Packaging.Sof). I did however get the pagepool down to 4MB like another member did and did see some mediocre results with an overclock to 299Mhz. I haven't seen the new ThrottleLaunch Morph yet, but I'm still learning. Good luck. I'll let you know if I get anything on it.
Update! unable to cook the rom!
so my last post was announcing my first rom, but tragically i broke my wing that same day due to an argument with my significant other (who knew you can break the phone in 5 different pieces when thrown). To answer Ivan's question though, i wanted the rom to have the smoothness of OPT with the memory and layout's of PDAViet's WM6.5, and add a custom flair if possible. Ive noticed certain flaw's in roms that could be an easy fix if pointed out... I do believe that if someone where to take PDAViet's WM6.5 rom and cook TL Morph into it, it might actually work a little faster. Also i have noticed that since a lot of PDAViet's roms are imports, the T-Mobile Cert's are not installed. This can cause the auto update of time and date to be incorrect as well as messaging and other functions U.S. members would use. If anyone would want to take over this project, by all means, i will greatly appreciate it... and to put my two cents in, the only real problem with it is the scripting and porting of import to domestic. To put it in other words, its like taking a JDM Honda Type R and making it a domestic Acura Type R (for those who understand cars). The parts are there, its all about putting it together. Have fun guys and I MISS MY WING!... now time to wait till the G2 comes out so my girl can buy it for me

How many pieces did her phone break into???
Hello, I am a newbie to this whole rooting thing. I just had my phone rooted with UnNamed ROM v2.2.1 so far the phone has been really fast and smooth. Its a nice clean setup. The big question is, now what? What should be my next step? Nothing big since I`m still learning. Maybe a theme? I not sure. Thanks for any input. Have a great night.

Welcome to a world free of obligatory carrier control and Bloat! I suggest you repost this in the specific forum for your phone, that way other people who have the same phone can help you out.
WIN
I title this WIN because you really have done all there is to it.... for n00b5! No i do not mean to be rude at all =) Great job getting this far mate! There are two options you really have here:
1: you sit back and watch for updates, flash them, flash fixes like beats audio, lagfixes, different kernels and other goodies and make your phone even better.
2: you follow option 1 AND you learn how to make the goodies! Seriously, it's an open source project, what open source is meant to have happen! People learn about the goodies there are for your phone, which is what you did by flashing a rom, and then they move on to make themes, apps, ports, kernels, etc. of their own.
In simple words, you should go and learn about how your awesome phone works (i have an SGS and an SGSII so i know they're amazing) and you go and improve it! That is how you have on my friend, you are in a great position for learning and doing, so go out and make android great!
