Morning everyone,
I'm looking to get a Touch HD in the next week or so, but I'm limited to getting it on Orange UK.
I've read that Orange have (as usual) totally screwed the rom by adding their own crap to it.
So, can anyone recommended a cooked rom ? Does it make much difference based on network or not (I'm guessing not?)...

There several excellant ROMS available each with a slightly different approach it really depends on what your preferences are, NRGZ28, Duttys, Miri are all great have a look in there threads and do a bit of reading before you jump in the threads show what the ROMS perform like and each thread has what is called a changelog at the beginning so you cna see what is included etc.
Flashing first time may seem complicated but it is really simple have a look at the guide in my signature and everyone here is more than happy too help with any questions you may have.
Flashing ROMS wont affect your network
I'm also an Orange Uk user and can assure you, you will not regret flashing a cooked rom. Personally I would recommend one of Dutty's 6.5 roms but as Ozmoran said; check out your options first and don't be afraid to ask for help if you can't find what you're looking for.
Oh and welcome to flashaholics anonymous
I too have a orange HD but unlike the above two posters, I joined the miri bandwagon.
Tbh, no-one can tell you what the best one is. It really depends on what you want from your device but we'll all agree that a cooked ROM is far better than a stock one.
Good luck with it all.
I took the plunge on friday night and flashed my orange HD for the first time. I chose NRGZ28`s latest WM6.5 Titanium only Energy ROM.(I do not like Manilla) Used it all weekend and oh boy what an improvemet. It looks better, its a lot quicker and smoother.Wish i had upgraded it weeks ago!

I like the darkside, far more fun that all that sunlight stuff. . .
Thanks to everyone for their input, just to confuse things I checked on our system this morning and there was the touch HD. Logged back on at 12:30 to order and it had gone to be replaced by the touch diamond HD ?
As far as I know there isn't a diamond HD, but I guess they mean the the diamond 2 (which is the Topaz isn't it?).
So, the question now is, is this as good as the touch HD? I know its got a bit smaller screen but with the same res. The spec looks very close and I see (if it is the Topaz) there a cooked roms here for it...
Do I lose anything by getting one of those instead ?
This is fast becoming an opinionated thread which creates a long thread and is thus frowned upon. As everyone has different tastes, only solution and best solution is to make your own opinon and try a few.

This was already expected that the HD wouldn't be getting a free update to wm6.5. To be honest I'm not too bothered as most chef's already have fairly smooth wm6.5 roms anyhow

I wouldn't let this put you off buying another HTC device, my next device will still almost definately be a HTC one.
For me next will be TOUCH HD 2 a'ka Leo!!! For Roms - very good last form Hellonasty and Miri, wait from PhamQuang and another chefs.
It's not coming
i thought it has been confirmed that Windows Mobile 6.5 is not coming to Touch HD...
Read this.
yep, it has always been said that touch hd would not receive wm 6.5 official rom.
anyway, chefs provide better roms than the official ones, so for me there's no difference if htc provides official rom or not.
I AGREE when i buy my HTC with stock Wm 6.1 Was very Buggy and Slow untill i start to flashing with coocked ROM`s so its not a problem for me do we have Official ROM or not always we will be UPDATET because we have good comunity here no matter from the HTC support when WM 7 Release Again here we will have some Amazing Cocked ROM so sometimes i think that some of the Coocked ROM`s are better than the STOCK one.
Personally I feel this has been discussed enough beforehand and on this thread. For these reasons I am closing this thread. Any objections, please PM me with your reasons
I am looking for a rom for my touch HD.
surely i want it to look like the HD2, is there a rom that is just like the stock rom of HD2? i.e. HTC sense
or any other recomendations?
THANKS~
You've come to the right place. Try a few and see for yourself. Asking for opinions is going to get you 10 different suggestions as many of the chefs have very loyal followers and they will punt their chef as the best etc.
People also have differing needs and uses for these devices, so what is vital for a good rom for one person may be totally unimportant to you and thus the suggestion given will not be relevant to your needs.
thanks, but i just wonder whether there is one which is just like the stock rom of HD2...without other stuff added to it
I understand kwbr Vanila roms are fairly stock. miri and jakari also generally keeps roms close to stock, but again read the threads and see what they add in.
thanks alot~~

the BEST THING to do is to try and test some Leo HTC Man 2.5 Sense ROMs.
If you expect a ROM to be "just like the stock rom of HD2" you'll be dismayed
to know this will never be the case. (Although I must admire Cooks who port most of HD2 (Leo) feature to the Blackstone)
As you may know Hardware wise the Blackstone pales
in comparison to the Leo. HTC wouldnt even update
the Blackstone with Win 6.5 as they say it lacks the necessary Drivers,
but to all of us here in XDA this is a big lie, as we are all enjoying
Win 6.5 ROMS. (The best ATM is Kwbr Topix 3.2.3)

According to you LOL
If I understand correctly, he is looking for HD2-like roms. If this is the case, then any rom with (manila) 2.5 in the title will have the appearance of the HD2, not everything will be like the HD2, since they are different phones hardwarewise...
Many of them are tweaked by the chefs so you have to try em out to see which one you like

Hey guys, I was just looking for your opinion on the best, and most stable rom for the incredible s, currently I'm running miui 1.9.9 and am pretty pleased with it, Im just wondering what else is out there, I tried htc bliss beta 2 sense 3.5 because i missed sense but it had camera issues so Im wondering what your opinion is and what youve tried
android revolution hd is the best hands down imo
"Best rom" is very subjective, as I'm sure a few other people will point out. I for one am using CyanogenMod and can say that I am very happy with it and don't plan to change any time soon. If you want to find more roms you can go take a look at the Development section of the Incredible S forums, there you will find threads concerning roms that you can try out for your device.

Hope you'll find something that suites you,
Cheers!
I agree with scoob on this one rev HD deff is one of the most stable ROMs out there. Cyanogen is very stable as well however I can't get over not having sense. I'd choose from those two both awesome HD is super fast while cyanogen is slightly slower yet is highly customizable and does not include sense.
well, as pointed out , the choice is very personal.
it depends on your preferences as there are some differences in most of the major roms.
so far i've tried ARHD, CM7, MIUI & Virtuous unity.
CM7 is quite good if you are interested in having a non-sense rom but the functionality, stability is top notch. CM7 has set a standard not just for stand alone developers but for corporate production as well.
ARHD is a very popular rom and most people using it will swear by it.
it is sense based, and it will feel like a charged up stock rom.
very professional as well.
MIUI is what i used the longest & i must admit it is a brilliant rom in the fact that it stands out in appearance & customization.
every app and every part of the system is beautified and it feels like a totally different phone. if you are looking to have a 'different' yet amazing phone, MIUI is the way to go.
but the major drawback with MIUI is that it is not officially supported for the INCs and thus there are some minimal bugs which can get a bit annoying.
And of course it has no app drawer, works like the iphone.
this can be handled by the wonderful app created by a member here called alt drawer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154299
i feel this is a must for MIUI.
finally, using VU at the moment and i feel it is a perfect blend of sense components and that little something extra.
looks, feels and works amazingly well, minimal bugs and almost feels like the perfect rom again...
i did however run into a few loop boots recently, but i think that can be worked on.
that's my personal opinion on all the roms...
and i think it would be a good opportunity to give a heartfelt 'thank you' for all the developers here working so damn hard on providing world class roms for us.
Thank you guys, we all do silently thank and appreciate all your efforts!

Inc S is officially supported at miui.us. The two things I miss with MIUI is SRS and handsfree mic. Other than that, its the best lightweight rom available for Inc S atm.
MIUI with Tiamat Kernel works very well.
If you like Sense 2.1 or 3.0 i prefer ARHD.
If you don't like Sense i would go for CyanogenMod 7 Nightly #68.
But that's just what i think ;-)

a community supported rom is not quite the same as developer support
Quoting them:
This is a community support ROM only!
The developers do not provide much support for this ROM on these forums
Support is mostly provided on forums.MIUI.us

i've been a user of ARHD, it's the most popular if i may say and developer is very responsive. i haven't gotten to try the other ROMs on an extended time but i'm pretty sold to the ARHD
I'm using CyanogenMod 7 and love it - very fast, good battery (after clearing battery data), and lightweight.
However it is the first ROM I've flashed and while I'm very happy with it, I'll still try others just to see what there is. But if you haven't tried it, give it a shot -you can easily download straight from the ROM manager app
i like revolution hd,but its sense 2.1
Im using arhd and it improves the batt life too. My first rom i flashed on my incredible s.
I'm using virtuos rom v2.37 by far the best rom with sense 3.0!! I've tried them all but the virtuos rom runs very smooth and no fc's.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
I m using ARHD 1.1.7 with sense 3.0 patch. everything works fine. however the guy who don't like sense UI must b use CM7. it comes with a lot of customization. miui also a good one. but i dun like it , lack of appdrawer. look like with iphone.

I'm using ARHD 1.1.7, fast and very, very stable. Didn't use any other custom ROM, though.
im using ARHD 1.1.7 too... u make any adjustments in the system?
Hey guys, I just stumbled into sth really great! htc is releasing a new phone called Desire X. The great thing about it: It gets Sense 4.1, so I guess full Sense 4 and it has got the exact same resolution as the Incredible S!! So there won't be any resizing issues in the future, which will make the look of Sense 4 on our phones even better. Also I'm pretty sure it will get official JB support, so we will have that, too without any resizing issues. I searched for an English link and it's not the best but it should be enough so check it: http://www.ubergizmo.com/2012/08/htc-desire-x-htc-proto-specifications-leaked/
Omg thats sick!! Nlw i'm all pumped up!
Phone: HTC Incredible S
