Hey guys greets to all I'am new in this forum and my english is not so good and i have not many experience on HTC Phones and ROM's
I bought a used HTC Touch Pro and ever time when i turn on the Phone there is a picture with text and there stand TPC Elite Rom Series and after a while in the right corner there come up three Letter D, R, G and next to the letters there aer some numbers they look like a version number and now is my question is this original or not ?
i hope any one can understand my question
i put a screenshot as soon as possible
greets and thanks to all answers
Not original, that is a custom rom.
do a search for: TPC Elite ROM
Is your question for the Unit itself or for the TOM ?
If the ROM, it is already a custom ROM
It seems that you have a custom ROM flashed on your device, most likely is something from the old Elite Project.
So, most definitly you dont have the original ROM installed but a custom one... this is nothing bad thow.
And about the numbers please post whats the number on the row with "R", this should be the radio rom version. This will tell you if the Radio ROM was also flashed with something else.
thanks for the fast answers
by R stands 1.02.25.19
i think the phone is open from factory because there is no branding and my next question is is it better to keep the ROM that is on the phone go back to original or is there a newer version ?

Hi I would suggest you to flash a new rom with manila 2.5 on it.
On my PERSONAL experience Energy and Tael roms are the best. I think TAEL is more stable and maybe less tweaked. Energy is faster but from time to time you can meet some strange behaviour... If you go to Energy I would suggest you to choose the 21911 kind because is more stable and gives less problems. I actually use this.
Good luck.
PS: don't feel frustrated cos you do not have the stock rom. They are far less perfomant and poor than the custom made ones ;-)
ok tahnks were i can get tael roms ?
Moved as not ROM Development.
can i use the latest Tael rom and is it aviable in german ?
tanks for the many and fast answers this forum is amazing thanks to all !!

Hi there - I would love to change my originally rom but I don`t know if there is a ROM without faults which is at least like the original ROM ?
Compared to the original rom - which self-made rom has the same progs like the original rom ?
thanks a lot
myrin
damn dude.. just sift through each rom thread and read about them. you're not going to find the perfect rom for you unless you do that.
Well lets just say that if you are using the original ROM then theres your biggest fault right there!
You can always Hard SPL your phone and download all these great ROMS on here (Duttys, Shaps, ect ect) and if you don't like any of them you can always go back to using the original ROM. So it's basically a win win situation.
Just about any ROM on here works great on your Kaiser/Tilt. And just like with anything technical there will be some faults. But these custom ROMs on here are way better than your stock ROM.
But let me go ahead and tell you now...once you flash you'll never go back!!!!!!!
jb
jbmorales - sounds good - I did the ROM change already with my TYTN but could you pls help me where I find the best description how I must do it - I mean where it is simple and easy described so that I can do it without too much emphasis on it....thank you so much !
BTW - can I - after I reinstalled the ROM restore everything or do I have to install every single programm ?
Which ROM is similiar to the T-Mobile version but way better than it ?
THANKS !!!!!

I only know two with 3d...have you tried pcarvalho´s and kostas rom...both make a version with 3d....
i think all roms here are stable.....
But for what you need 3d...the 3d rom´s have only 85 mb total ram (instead of 100mb) and free about 25-30 mb...so i think your problem´s with unstable come from the low ram...(have read much about this problem...and also tried myself)
3d is a bit faster but the low ram is why it´s unstable
and best radio i think is 1.59.44.02 and 1.59.46.12
Mine have no 3d...but i think it´s very stable....and you can decide if you want m2d or not....free ram about 50 mb....look in my signature...also in is a steps post (for safe flash)
with kind regards..Alex
How do i choose a suited ROM for my desire S ?
There are so many.
It depends on the IMEI or something else ?
Also , whats a "prerooted" ROM ( different from "normal" ROM ? )
Grts
Answer to your last question: a pre-rooted ROM is a custom ROM which already provide root access. If you're unfamiliar to the term root, you should do a little more reading before flashing a custom rom to your device.
Just ensure that you've read through many of the threads available to anyone on this forum, and you'll have a smooth sailing through the seas of custom ROMs.
Your IMEI number doesn't matter.
Try Endymion, it's probably the best (personal opinion) Sense based ROM in the development section.
Loving my Desire S since rooting and flashing a custom ROM, like a new phone

Flinnys CM 11 alpha 3. Very fast and stable after my opinion. There are just some bugs with the camera(video) and bluetooth but check it out anyways.
Hello guys i didnt want to create a new thread.
My mother has a Desire S and is absolutely casual user, the only thing that is important is long battery life and that all features work (No ROMs with Camera bugs and so on pls)
She does not need Tablet Features and whatsoever.
Currently her phone runs MIUI 2.### which is a battery eater and quiet strange.
Do you have any ROM to suggest? Just a very stable, reliable Android with much battery life?
Thx for your help !

Hey guys!
Just got a second-hand Desire S.
I am looking for am advice about a custom ROM with Sense.
What is the highest version of Android with the highest version of Sense available? The best would be: Sense 5.5 with Kit-kat I think.
Any suggestions? Would like a "stable" version if possible.
Ty.

Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!
Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always
Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl
Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.
+1 for Endymion 3.4,
+1 for Endymion
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
+1 Endymion
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
edymion, will try it
+1266592.23 for Endymion

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.
Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..
Btw: endy!...

To answer any of this you first need to know if it's a S3 or S4.
Because this determines which ROMs or recoverys you can flash.

CM10 would be your best bet then and you will need to fastboot the boot.img and TWRP is the best recovery to use.

I'll never understand the deal with CM.
Personally I dont like it at all. There seems to always be at least one important feature not working properly.
I go against the stream and say, if hes not used to android I think rooted stock with maybe a different kernel would be more than enough for him.
The only downside with stock rom is that it lacks features for the more advanced users (like the majority on this site ).
Other than that the stock is actually pretty damn good.
Its by far the best stock rom Ive encountered, but this is my first HTC device though (unless you count my old QTek 9100 )
