T-mobile ROM or HTC ROM plus other questions!

Hi all i have been using pda phones for a long time and have followed this website for quite a while...
I have an obsession for these kind of phones...so today i upgraded my phone from vario to the new vario 3.
One of the first things i plan to do is flash the ROM/Radio (not to good with the terminology).
i was wondering what people think of the t-mobile rom ENG or any other versions of it and whether i would be better off using the original htc one...i wasnt really fond of the rom for the vario.
also i havent flashed a phone in a long long time (last time was for my mda compact which was nearly 2/3 years ago!)..so i wanted to ask is there anything i should know? i have been reading the threads and i wanted to know which version of the hard spl should i use because there are several different stickies with difference hard spl
Can you update the radio serparatly from the rom? or can you do them both at the same time? and also which radio and rom would you recommend?
and also where can i learn to understand what exactly rom/radio/ext rom are exactly..i have a respectable idea of what they are but jus wanna make sure i know what im doing before i do it..
and also what does dumping a rom do?
thanks for your help
sorry if these questions have already been asked!

I've got no problems with it, actually. Sure, there's a few tweaks need installing, but I don't think there's anything serious enough to risk changing the ROM for - the device hasn't been out long enough for people to make any significant additions to it and as far as I know, there aren't any official upgrades out yet.
I've stuck the MoDaCo Vario III de-brand on, to change the icons back to sensible colours, then picked up other tweaks from this site and MoDaCo.
Easier than a ROM flash, reversible, and risk-free.
Before you rush off and flash a new ROM, ask yourself what you're actually trying to accomplish.

Any particular tweaks that you would recommend here or the modaco website?
was trying to get rid of some of the bloatware that i didnt want that t-mobile provides..but i will take ur advice and not rush into it..will wait for a month or two before i start prying around...
plus the skin/today/theme/front page (dont know what it is but it surely has to be one of those) of the htc rom and orange rom looks cool!
do you know where i can get that from?
i.e. these ones htc
(http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devices/review/2007/08/10/HTC-P4550-Kaiser-Smartphone/p3)
and orange (where it says software)
(http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2007/09/07/htc_tytn_ii_review)
ps thanks for ur help and advice
im at work so it wont let me check the modaco website...but i will check it out when i get home

The T-Mobile ROM is about as near to the HTC one as an operator ROM is ever likely to get. The only piece of un-needed bloat was a trial version of F-Prot Antivirus; which takes a few seconds to uninstall. Even de-branding it is a pretty short job, as for once they haven't splashed pink everywhere.

The VarioIII rom from t-mob is actually very good... been using it for a few weeks, and feel no need to flash the 'proper' htc one...
tmob seem to have learnt to leave well alone... finally

cheers for ur advise u guys
any tweaks in particular u would recommend i have seen the scha'p's advanced configuration tool im gonna use that...anything else?

The first tweak I'd recommend is Paul's Debrand that I mentioned in my previous post. Gets rid of a lot of the pink and switches back to nice Windows colours.
The Trusted Mobiles picture looks like it's using the Windows Default theme.
If you tap Start, Settings, Today then Windows Default, hit OK and return to the Today screen. Should look pretty similar.
Go back to that page again and tap the Items tab at the bottom. The giant widget with the clock is the HTC Home plugin. All I've got on my Today screen are that (modified) and the Calendar.
To modify the HTC Home plugin, head over to http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html and download the HTC Home Customizer. This is a fantastic app. Poke around the site, find the themes you want, then download, install and configure it.
The other biggie you'll want is the Kaiser Tweak. Have a read through that thread, but it's fairly self explanatory once you run it.
That should give you a start, anyway. Enjoy!

Argghhhhhh :( :( :(

I HAD a perfectly running rom a couple weeks back, was flawless, no crashes, no leaks....perfectly usable.
The problem is now in 2 parts.
The first: I cant keep myself from trying new roms, even if it is hardly any different from what i already have!
The second: I dont remember which was the rom that ran perfectly!
Now i'm soooo screwed, the last couple roms i've tried is such a nightmare to use
It leaks memory like crazy, gets real sluggish, completely comes crashing down. It crashes a billion times, the radio loses connectivity and i have to restart to get it to work again.....arghhhhh!
IF ONLY i was content with what was working and let it be.....damnit!
Now, I got to find some of the older roms and test them out again :-/
Rant complete.

Hi San,
Imagine, using Universal just as a phone.
But, no.................
It has to be better than:
Desktop PC
Portable PC
GSM
Phone
PDA
Surf the net
Connect to whatever
Remind to be sub-servant to the other (better) half
.........
So, the never ending quest continues ......
Hey mate, remember we are talking about Universal......
Best Regards,
KOR!

Wondering what to do
One that makes me feel like I feel when Im with you

One that wont make me feel too bad

Possible solution.
Right click your rom downloads and go to properties to check the creation date, hopefully this will jog your memory. The gap in dates should hopefully give you a clue.

San, you must be dreaming or you logged in on the wrong forum!
Aren't most of us here love flashing ROM's not because we're looking for the perfect one but because we get high by trying the latest one and posting something like this: "a perfect ROM, extremely fast & stable BUT, ......"
There was never a perfect device or ROM for us, but let me give you a clue.
Which ROM is highly customizable, boots up with 29Mb free RAM even with HTC Home plug-in installed, able to retain 24Mb of free RAM after heavy use, seldom crashes, supports 128Mb RAM, perfectly usable by doing away with progs & tools you don't use anyway? Beat that!
Your guess is good as mine!
Do you mean you're going back to the Best WM5 ROM you ever had? The Darkforces Team ROM!

i have tried many and the one i felt in lovewith was NNcoung ROM. Its fast, stable, no memory leaks, 31+ of ram after reset, flash disk (the best of all since you can install all the apps you want here with no side effects) and vanilla so you can install whatever you want. try it you will see that is the best ROM for universal EVER.

Hi,
Have you used Mtty to format/clean your memory ? (sometimes it helps)
And indeed I should try Nncuong's rom.
Greetings,
Wout

wow wow wow!! So many replies, dont know which one to respond to ;o)))
I'm guessing all the 18538 based roms dont seem to be stable on my device setup. It was one of the earlier builds which worked good for me. The 18538 roms always bombed up on me and i kept reverting back to one of the older roms which was flawless. The problem is, I changed my laptop and i dont have the nk.nbf file which i had with me . So i'm waiting for the coming weekend to start the hunt all over again
Until then, i got to live with this fubar'ed POS :-/ Really gets on to your nerves when it crashes over 30 times a day (not exagerating...all i need to do is, be on a call and try and push a button, and the call's frozen. I cant disconnect the call, the END or disconnect hardware buttons all dont respond)
I guess i'll just jump to beastyleo's rom, only thing that doesnt work is a2dp for me, which is much better than this crash-fest, roach motel rom that i'm currently running on!
Cheers,
San

If you have a G3 device try this: http://www.sym-viet.com/nncuong/UNI_2_11_11_G3.rar
the only rom i saw without memory leak. Havent tried beastyleo's tho.
A2DP is really good, it freezes device but just press play button on your headset to unfreeze happens once per day avg.

I only can say................ we made big progress today
And update is comming soon to your way......................

Universal Is A Useless Device!
Basically, Universal Is A Useless Device!
And, my friends and my relatives think that I have a big head
WHY?​
The basic function of the Universal is Phone. As a Phone it is a useless device even with Windows Mobile 5. It is slow, eats up batteries, has crashes and so forth.
It is very bulky, always has to be carried in the hands. With a belt clip it is immense. It is impossible to use while driving. And, even the voice command is useless as it gets the number wrong most of the time.
So, welcome to Windows Mobile 6, which is not supported by HTC for Universal. It is the same story with Windows Mobile 6 and we are constantly re-flashing as it is full of bugs.
My friends and my relatives tell me that I have a big head, as they call me and that I never return their missed calls. I have painfully explained them about Universal.
So, they say buy a new phone. I tell them that I bought by Xda Exec in the first part of this year!
So, buy a new phone if you want to be in touch with your friends and your relatives. What I do!
I go in July of this year and buy Jasjar. Another Universal!
When I bought it, I told my self that I will only use it for Phone!
Now I own two Universals, several standard and large batteries. Two sim cards and several cases. Lots of different mono and stereo bluetooth and so forth!
Now I am constantly flashing both of my Universal. My friends and relatives still complain about the miss calls. So, now I am thinking to buy a small HTC Phone for just only Phone purposes.
But, I am also thinking to upgrade both of my Universal to 128MB.
I guess, I have to prioritize????
Any betting man or woman out there!

Hi San,
It looks like we are both having the same problems with our uni.
You noticed that it could have something to do with ours being one of the earlier production models ?
FYI i'm now running build 18533.0.7.1 by Nncuong with radio 1.17.
And this is now running without any softresets for 48 hours, which is a new record for my *&@#% uni.
But I still love the thing, It's a hate/love relation
Could you let me know which roms run stable on your uni ?
And do you also sometimes find that it looks stable but after 8 or so hours it seems like the thing is "deteriorating" needing softresets increasingly more often ?
greetings,
Wout
(and also important, after 11 hours battery still at 89%, with light usage of phone )

Woww!!! Looks like you're speaking through my brain m8!!!
Especially the pseudo short-lived happiness with the new roms (18538 roms!) until all hell breaks loose!
As i've noticed, the nncuong roms, the darkforce (earlier) roms worked great for me. Right now, i've flashed thingonaspring's 3.2 rom, hoping this baby will hold up....lets see how it goes!
The mo3ulla rom (confirmed) was a nightmare on my device setup. Was the worst of the lot, mainly because of a serious memory leak problem. Harldy any time, and it drops to a skimpy 3meg free ram status with nothing running!
Was way too crappy to be used for anything at all, flashed over thingonaspring's rom (its a 18533 rom), i'm wishing this one would work fine for me....will post in and let you know how it fares...
cheers,
San

hahaha,
If i'm right your device won't like thingy's 3.2 (it was a softreset fest on mine)
let me know will you ?

Flashing of Different ROM's is an addiction dangerous than grug adduction....
I don't know now how many times I have flashed my Universal..Thre is no end to it. Our Developer friends always come with the new ideas and we follow them...........What is the result? everyone knows better.

quickest most stable/easy rom?

i am selling my Wing to a business lady tonight. right now i have touch it's 9.2 rom which i love but it wont suit her. the buttons are off even with duprades key fix and the spacebar lags and the rom freezes sometimes. i just need a fast stable small rom for her. all i need is HTC home and Opera and iContact which i can install all seperately. so does anyone know the most stable/user friendly rom? QUICK! =p thanks! oh and it must be a Wing rom not a herald...i dont like the keyboard fix it makes my keys lag.

I would say Open Touch 5.2 Org. Just like the standard T-Mobile ROM but with 6.1, It was pretty fast and really stable for me.

try papa new rom... it works great, just dissable UL and Batterystatus on the today screen... everything else works perfect out the box and it is very fast....

I wouldnt do papas rom its more of an advance rom. I would go with open touch 5 org rom. I think that is the closest to the original you can get. Or go with one of the open touch lite roms if you want more room.

If you want it clean just use Just2Clean (60+ Mb free)by Ivan and add .net cf3.5 and a calculator. It's fast, stable, and that way she won't get anything she doesn't want on it.
If she is a little techie point her to XDA and Freeware PocketPC Everything she could want and more.

papa for sure. I have mine setup like you want on papa's rom but it takes sometime and reg edits.

i think this guy looking for a ROM he can sell on ebay ><><><>< looks fishy to me he's posting everywhere
LOOK OUT!!!!!!!!!

If you are selling the phone, sell it with OEM soft and OS.
Otherwise, you are crossing the line of making a profit of the cook's work in this forum.
And their cost is very high....
Take your wing and revert it back to OEM spec. (My Opinion)

im not making money off selling the rom in any way guys lol. i put an ad on my local craigslist for my wing...i said its overclocked and has a custom rom running much more stable and faster than the normal wing thats all. i think it'd be messed up to revert back to stock rom before i sold it...and they would probably end up taking it back to me =p

There is nothing wrong with the original rom. It works fine if the pagepool size is fixed. In fact if you update the new TMO rom, then that's basically taken care of.

i just tried the original rom out today for the first time in like a year lol...compared to open touch...it is SO wrong. even overclocked at 286 it was soooo slow compared to 249 on open touch.

but the if the person buying the phone has a issue with the phone and cant get in contact with you and takes it to TMO what happens ??? lol.

Take her back to the official and original tmob rom... if something goes wrong she can always knock on their door. Besides that, she can't blame you having it wrecked with a cooked rom when she ruins her device herselves.

Flashaddicts Anonymus

Hi, my name is Xtreme and I am a Flashaholic
I have not flashed my device for a week now, but Shep just released his latest ROM which so tempting to flash to. My device is working absolutely fine and I have no reason to flash, but I still really want to.
Please help me

Same here, but I keep switching from Mystic series and Lauzeberry, and RRE, and NATF.
I feel like if I had two raphael's I would keep flashing both of them untill the rom chips fried of the phones.
So i was going to recommend you send me your phone to "help" you from flashing all the the time, but I'm no better off than you...

I am so under the influence of flashing that my buddy just got his Fuze and I am flashing his device too.
Kind of forced him to let me do it.

Count me in on this one. I flash just to flash. Something doesn't seem right with the phone - well might as well reflash it. Phone's working too good, better flash it. Can't find that setting - must be time to flash.

Have fun with it.

I have been flashing Motorolas at first. My V3i got the most abuse and any other Motorolas that followed. The on to my Cing. 8525, flashed till it ran away to the UK lol, Tilt 8925 so many ROMs flashed to it it got a complex for me but works well with my cousin's girlfriend I sold it to and now my Fuze....I am trying not to flash it too much and my time not allowing me to unleash plus the fact that my phone needs to be stable for my job. So RRE 5.8 on it and only recent flash was the Radio 1.12.25.19. I want to try the 1.14. soon..MUAAAAHHHAAHHAAA!

To flash or not to flash...why the heck am I even asking? Ofcourse I'll flash!!!! What? 4.6 is out? FLASH!!!! Curios about ROMeos? FLASH!!!! I have backups all over the place on my microSD card that if I don't like something, I'll just revert back to the previous ROM...we, seriously need to get a poopoo phone...but even then, I'd still try to figure out how to mess with it...

lol...I did have a poopoo phone before my raphael. I had a LG shine, which was alright, but I thought it had potential to be better, so I did what I do best -- mess with it. Sure enough two days later the phone was fried.
After that I finally thought it was time to move into the 21st century and buy a touchscreen and boy-o-boy did I pick the best from the rest. I absolutely love this phone. I am contemplating whether I should buy a Touch Pro or just stick with this phone.

Keep the fuze and buy a TP. That way you can flash twice as much!!

Keep the fuze and buy a TP. That way you can flash twice as much!!

My bad, I meant the Touch Pro 2.
I have the Fuze, but I also like the big screen that touch pro 2 has.
I love the fact that I can flash and customize my fuze to the limit and maybe even beyond. Not sure if that will be the case with TP2. I think it will take a while before devs and cooks get their hands on TP2.

Tempted...
SO...here I am...Rainy Monday, no business to speak of, and contemplating a 6.5 ROM...I already backed up my backup of my backup's backup...About to try it...but something is holding me back...
TODD!!!! Where the hell is your 6.5 ROM DAMMIT!!!!!!!
Pacing back and forth...fingers a-jittery...I wait....and backup.

im proud of you going for a whole week. I wish I was that lucky at this time in my job I have so much down time I do about 3flashes a week. I think I might get the Palm Pre just to kee me from flashing so much but then again I have another touch pro beside me I wish you all luck in holding back.

My troubles are over. I switched over to the other side. I used to be like you, cold sweats, anxiety, trouble sleeping.. now its all better. I became the pusher man, I am in control of my drug. Ever since Da_G released his kitchen to the masses, I got on board. Now whenever and wherever I decide I want a new build, or need a fix, I just cook up some ROM goodness with exactly what I want in it, dirty or clean, and choose the bugs I want to mess with or not. I'm never without a new flash, I am the tamborine man.

learning how to cook in a kitchen was the best thing I've ever done. I love being in control. Too bad he releases new builds 1-2x a week

HAHA lol dude
I guess that is the best way to get rid of this addiction.
Become a dealer!

This flash addict has one slight problem. I keep wanting to flash more, but I can't find a way to auto setup my peoples tab and it is annoying the hell out of me. Anyone know a fix to this one.

Yeah, I'm planning on testing my dope out on some of you soon. I just have to secure my plan of action and get the nerve up. There's so many new cooks out there, I have to make my ROM more tempting for the junkies. Any ideas?

Flash Junkie....
Hi, my name is Nakia and I am a flash junkie .
Okay so I haven't had my phone two weeks...so literally and technically I am a noobie. I found this forum before I bought the phone. You all are actually what made me get this phone... I absolutely love it. I have flashed three times already and tonight I will flash again...my next is Shep's ROM. So far I've had NATF, RRE, and ROMeOS. I am trying to see which one I like and have actually started the process to try and make my own (probably going to take a while). But this is very addictive.

Getting A Touch Pro 2--- What is the best rom?

Hey All,
I am getting a touch pro 2 tomorrow and was wondering what rom works the best right now. Just need one to get me by until i make my own
Any good kitchens would be useful also..... I use to cook on the hermes, herald, and the mogul and plan to start cooking here....

I think we all understand what subjective questions these are, so you'll get varied opinions and you'll need to try out each option that is presented to see how it works for you.
Best kitchen:
By far, I like the OsBuilder kitchen tool by Barin over at asusmobile.ru. Here are links to the original thread at asusmobile.ru and another link to a thread where Barin offers support and takes suggestions in english:

Indagroove has already taken OsBuilder and put together a very nice kitchen, which is tailored for the TP2. You can find that fully assembled kitehcn, here:

Best ROM:
If you are looking for a pre-made ROM that has most of the items that you want, I find the Crusader series by ai6908 (BharS) to be very, very nice. You can find that ROM over here:

Thank You for the quick reply
This helps me out alot

You could always run stock for a week or 2, I had a titan/xv6800 (and had that phone maxed out) and moved to a Touch Pro 2 about 3 weeks ago. With the phone coming with 6.5 and Sense, it was not that bad, as I took my time to do my homework on a better rom.
I was going to unlock and update a rom today but, with Hurricane Earl coming up the coast, I have lost power for a few seconds here and there. Not taking a chance on bricking my phone.
Tomorrow will be the day for me...

if you hard spl it makes your phone harder to brick so you should be fine to program

Oh, I know. I didn't want to take a chance to lose power (again) when I was "Hard SPL"ing the phone. My area is know for losing power in fair storms.
Just was making the point, unless you are in love with some custom rom, I didn't thing the VZW with MR2 was that bad, it runs pretty good.
The only things I hate about this phone are, slide keyboard open, and I always hit the power button (worse location ever) and I have to unlock it again to use and the FM radio not working... (thanks Verizon !)
