Yes. I know... it's been asked a few times before, and there are countless articles relating to the many different Upgrade ROMS and Radio combinations - BUT, we'd like to know - which of the options is THE BEST of same - to run on our priceless VX6800 Mogul/Titans - on the Verizon Wireless network... and allows the unlocking and operation of the on-board GPS...?!?
Some require a number of steps to upgrade the 1.30.60 Radio and 2.09.605.8ase ROM - from the original out-of-the-box device, others offer a recipe of other required steps this side of wearing tin foil on one's head to keep out the voices (as a parent of teenagers, I've simply learned to not listen to them, and a select amount we're warned to stay away from.
For the NOOB and experienced PPCGeek member alike, would fellow readers please submit their favorite versions of the above...!?
Thank you for your kind contribution!

I have the XV6800 and use Rom DCD 3.1.2 and Radio 3.39 and of course Olipro 2.40. Follow the Wiki guide on here. Updating to Radio 3.39 made a big difference on signal. Also remember to get the Verizon Carrier Cab.
Thanks. Quick question... but, with the Build OS program via PPCGeeks, we can select a carrier (of which Verizon is an option). What are we to do with the Carrier cab that you mentioned above...? Sorry, but - if I'm thinking it - I'm SURE some other person feeling like a dweeb about now certainly is...!

If you're going to flash a custom rom from dcd, then you don't use the buildos from ppcgeeks.
Gotcha. Thought that... but, wasn't sure. So far - I'm leaning toward the BuildOS method of customizing - as you can pick and chose just what features and programs you wish to have included in your device. At present, No2Chem has some of the most advanced and robust versions of ROMs to select from... what with the latest being 5068 - and 5069 well into becoming the newest addition (as it's still in development).
One question about the afore mentioned ROM versions... I know that some (if not most) offer a few options of MMS and SMS programs. If we DON'T load them... is there a "basic" option already on the device and working? I know that's of special interest to a good many users.
Thanks - in advance - for your collective replies.

Hi there!
I need a working ROM for my HTC Touch Pro.
I found one (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470164) but that one was posted in 2007 so the download file is long gone from the internet! It was a ROM with a Stock market tab in FT3D.
I've read the rules and the Wiki but still I can't find what I'm looking for on this forum because of the many ROM's people have made! Don't get me wrong: I think that's great but I need help locating the right manilla that can be downloaded! Or point me in the direction were to look!
Thanks for your help! and greetingz from Holland
Mike
Er...
Well the latest is Manila 2.5 or sense 2.5 w/e you want to call it.
Most of the roms offer one or the other.
perrsonally i recommend energy rom... they're wonderful.
Leo version is slow but pretty
Pheonix two is strong.

Oké! Thanks for your replay. I've read somewere that manilla 2.6 is still in beta?
I know (from the wiki) that I have a HTC "Raphael" (touch pro...duh! ) but I see a lot of ROM's for the Diamond and pro 2 aswell! Do they all work fine on the Touch pro to? As a newbie I don't know were to look for when I'm looking for a ROM.
Can I create a ROM of my one? What need I to do that? I know my way around Paint Shop Pro but not around programming like in C++.
Manila (aka SenseUI)
Newer versions of Manila may require that you use a WinMO 6.5 custom ROM as HTC released the new 2.x versions of Manila (aka Sense) on devices that sported WinMO 6.5.
Additionally, some of the recent Manila releases (ex: 2.5, 2.6) may be versions obtained from dev/test ROM source. If you're after stability or rely on your device, this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's
There are several customs available ... some chefs even release different ROM streams. In many cases, custom ROM's will also contain recent application updates. If you're after stability or rely on your device, once again this may not be preferable.
Custom ROM's are usually specific to devices. For example, if you own a Raphael GSM device, you only flash custom ROM that are Raphael GSM specific. Flashing custom ROM's from a different device or CDMA may permanently damage your device.
Kitchen (DIY Custom ROM)
Building a custom ROM has become much simpler. Many chefs who have moved onto another mobile device will often release a final ROM as well as the kitchen they use to prepare the ROM ... this serves as a great starting point.
Additionally, there are many tutorials available on how to use kitchens floating around the forum.
Lastly, moderators typically close threads requesting "What's The Best ROM" as selecting a custom ROM is like choosing a vehicle, house, partner ... it's all about personal preference. And from past experiences, these types of threads usually get out of control pretty quick. So, to avoid having a thread that you start closed, it is best to avoid "What's The Best ROM" discussions.
HTH,
OH..........sorry!
Don't want to upset the moderators!
Then I have just one final question:
Is there on this forum-part a topic with a standard ROM with instruction on how to customize it? Or can I find those things in the Wiki?
I would like to contribute to theme's or even a Dutch ROM.
I only need to know/learn how to do that! Can someone give me a link to some documentation and files/programs to use?
Thanks!

AFAIK, there isn't a "Generic" ROM with customization tips. What most members do is download a kitchen and post any customization related question in the corresponding kitchen thread.

Cheers,
Information:
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. Your question has already been answered. Use Google or the search function above. The Google link is a template for quicker searching of this site.
NC=Nook Color
stable=latest stable rom from Cyanogemmod. Your go-to ROM if you just want a good daily driver and do not want to worry about things not working.
nightly=the latest and greatest. Please only try if you are able to troubleshoot, understand basic computer concepts, are not a N00b.
N00b=A word I hate and you should never use. Please do not say I'm a noob that needs help. Simply ask can I please have some help.
rooting=This is NOT FLASHING A ROM. It is the act of taking a stock rom and installing super user privileges. Installing CM7 is NOT ROOTING.
CM=Short for Cyanogenmod. The amazing team of developers that make what you're reading and wanting to do possible. Thank them often and donate any way you can (in help, money, coding).
OP=original post (post #1 in a thread)
OC=overclocked
HC=Honeycomb
AOSP=Android Open Source Project
SD=SecureDigital storage (that little card that goes in your NC)
eMMC=internal memory (the "hard drive" of your NC)
ROM=the "operating system"
kernel="Translater" between your ROM and the NC hardware. You need the overclocked one to overclock. Flash after a rom is flashed. THERE WILL BE NO OC KERNEL FOR THE DEFAULT CM ROM, EVER. OVERVOLTAGES OF THE KERNEL WILL NOT BE INCLUDED.
FC=force close, or when an app crashes
SOD=sleep of death. When the NC will not wake from sleep. You need to hard shutdown, then reboot to fix this.
PBD=premature battery death. When the battery shows 3x-20x% battery life left, but shuts down without warning. This has been linked to people who updated their bootloader without first flashing to 1.2 stock and letting the battery drain all the way down. This is being looked into. You need to plug in your NC if you experience this.

Kernel Issues with CM7 stable:
Flashing OC kernel results in "ANDROID" hanging/bootloops on boot. You need to change the updater-script to ext4, or use this kernel. Here is information about the filesystems used.
Which OC kernel can I use with stable? The latest test (4/24) can be used. Both need the updater-script to be changed to ext4. Look here for information.
Please ensure you are running the latest Rom Manager and Clockwork Recovery. This will also fix problems with the kernel not loading and being stuck at "_ANDROID". Open market, download Rom Manager, install it, then flash the latest recovery for the NOOK COLOR (not NOOK COLOR (OLD), if that is still there). Now update your kernel/ROM.
I want to install an OC kernel to my SD rom! Head over here, Racks has all the kernels you could want.

CM7 Nightly Issues:
What overclocked kernel do I need?? The latest from dalingrin should do. Please read and understand (and use the search function) if you have questions/concerns. You're looking for the 5/23 .32 based kernel. Some may have issues with wifi, however.
I want to run this off of my SD card, not internal (eMMC) memory. Look at Racks for the answer.
Is it worth my time to upgrade to the latest nightly? You can check here. Changes specific to encore (the code name for the nook color) will have a slightly darker background, and if that is an issue you've had, it may be fixed now!
I want to run netflix on the NC! Download the netflix app and follow these instructions to have it run. If you don't know what it's asking to do, ask here!
I need the new uboot everyone is talking about! Get it here.
I want to try out USB Host support (VERY EXPERIMENTAL). Look here, read EVERYTHING, understand what you are doing!

Common Misconceptions/Questions:
Removing system apps (phone, mms, etc) will increase battery life! It has no effect. Stop it.
Using a task manager is a good idea in Android! That's not a good idea at all!

This is done with great intentions, but it is not going to work.
We know for a fact, that exactly those people who have questions, and post them in all the worst places, don't read any of the thread titles.
They don't read the information threads, they don't see "DON'T POST IN THIS DEVELOPMENT FORUM" warnings, and so on.
ALSO, this thread is just one more thing to rapidly become outdated - like the sticky thread that has months-old information.
All you have to do is go to a movie, go to sleep, or maybe even vacation, and immediately this has no longer correct information.
And it is one more thread pushing other development threads off the front page.
Fine idea, but it won't work in the real world.

Thanks for the feedback.
I'm going to keep it updated as long as I can. Since I'm on here pretty consistantly. When I can't afford the time to do so, I will pull the information.
I know no one reads these types of threads, but I just had 200+ views in under and hour, so hopefully this solved a few issues without added noise to the real threads.
I think what you're looking to do is make a FAQ or guide or something. Maybe a better place where people can all collaborate (and correct any errors you have made, and I see a few minor ones) would be set up a FAQ page on nookdevs.com or something..
Also, it may be a better idea to organize the bits of information by category so people can quickly find it. Use as few words as you can in the first sentence so that people scanning for their issue don't have to read the whole thing...
Finally, it's "dalingrin"
Geez...if I had a dollar everytime I messed up dalingrin's spelling... :S
Yeah, I figured there would be a few half-truths in there from me not totally understanding what is going on as well as you guys, but feel free to PM or post on here where I can change stuff. I'll try to simplify it as well.
I just read over the OP and holy SH*T that is confusing, no offense. Here are some tips for writing helpful FAQs/Guides:
Space it out. Everything all clumped together in one block of text helps no one. Space it out (ie like this list).
Add titles or headers in between sections (this goes along with the first point) to clearly guide people to where they need to read. People want to read what is pertinent to them; not read an entire block of text and then try to figure out which applies to their case. Help others help themselves.
For all this CM7-specific information, add version numbers in front of bullet points (for the same reason as the previous point).
Ironically, none of your "Common Questions" are actually Questions. Questions end with a "?". What you have are "Common Answers". Insert questions before them so people can quickly decide if reading that particular bullet point is pertinent to them.
[5/10] Since this is all changing at such a ridiculously fast pace, add dates in front of bullet points where necessary (like at the beginning of this bullet point), so people can clearly tell what is outdated and what is new. I really wish Dal etc did this for his threads since a TON of the info in his threads are ridiculously out of date.
Learn to use the [ list ] and [ * ] tags -- quote post #10 of this thread to see what I mean.
Just some friendly tips for writing helpful guides
Also the particular answers in the OP are very specific to the Alpha Test Builds of the last few days.
Those builds, like dalingrin's, are accompanied by FAQs right where the download link is.
The problem is that people talk about these things elsewhere, and even worse, put up mirror links without the FAQ - which just happened with the new Beta .32 build - one guy complained about not being able to download it because everyone else was hitting the same site at the same moment - so a mirror was posted later in the thread without dalingrin's FAQ.
Someone made a wise comment recently that people who cannot find the already posted detailed information, should not be installing these test builds in the first place, as they don't know what they are doing (and they never report enough detail in their bug feedback - such as exactly which build they have installed).

Unfortunately, I have a very limited understanding of all the stuff that is currently happening day-to-day. I run only stables (currently on 7.0.2 flashed weeks ago) for fear that I might mess up my NC because I may have missed a key detail in post #1238 in thread X, Y, or Z. A centralized thread with all this information run by someone dedicated to updating it daily would be a great help to everyone. People like Dal and other developers are busy developing, and rightfully so
Wow...
I dig it!
I'll see if I can start up something that in depth in a bit here...
When updating from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 are you suppose to use rom manager? Or download the file from PC then transfer it over to SD and use recovery mode to update? Also your suppose to use titanium to back up apps and data only correct just incase. But as far as updating wipe cache and dalvik.... I just want to make sure I'm doing it correct that way all my apps stay. Fyi I'm running cm7 of internal
Actually, it occurred to me that a FAQ thread like this should be in "Nook General Forum", but that your OP, with all the information about nightlies and so on, should be posted to the end of the CM7 User General Discussion thread in this Forum.
That thread is where all these questions come up.

Personally, I find that ROM manager is another program that can have bugs, so I don't use it.
I just put the file on my SD card wirelessly using "Samba Filesharing App" (free in the market), and then use Clockworkmod Recovery to install it.
It looks like with many recent changes, it helps to first do "wipe system" and "wipe cache" before installing the new file.
Since our personal stuff is in "data", then I do not wipe that.
I also find that the "nandroid backup" on Clockworkmod Recovery is more reliable than Titanium Backup (same comment as for ROM manager). If you do a complete nandroid backup and then a complete recovery, it brings back everything - all the partitions - so it is a great thing to do when everything is working nicely.
I can't seem to find the latest version of Gapps that you list. I checked throughout the site listed and only see for GB up to 03072011. Did it get deleted?

Agreed. Forums for information dissemination are just ****ty beyond belief. We, the NC/xda community, need to either start taking the NC wiki seriously, or fenagle the owners of this fine establishment into upgrading to something more collaborative. No offense, but the only thing worse than forums for a large community is an email mailing list. shudder ... lol
Seriously. Forums are areas for discussion. Not Q&A.

I bought my Nook last week and since then i've been trying to learn how to tinker with custom roms and kernels but this subforum is total chaotic and newbie-unfriendly.
We (new users) need a wiki to get some basic knowledge about modding.9
All that stuff is scattered and buried in subtopics, I have took a lot of time just to install CWM on eMMC.
Now I'm running 1.2 rooted on emmc and CM7 nightly on SD, I couldn't get dual boot working on EMMC nor SD.

There is a Wiki stickied to the 1st page of the general section of the Nook Color Forum......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=890549.
Ace created this thread in response to a rash of redundant questions.
Attention all rom authors:
Dell Streak Custom Rom List - XDA Wiki
I attempt to keep it as up to date as possible, but as I dont download every single rom I can only work off of what's written in the postings.
Please try and keep your own personal roms up to date,
Correct method of doing so:
Make a new entry to place your rom in, use any of the other ones as a template
Do not delete/overwrite old entries, always make a new one
Date format is always in Month-Day-Year since that's how I had originally organized them (and for no other reason)
If you're really unsure how, you can reply to this thread and i'll add it in if i havnt already
Base rom is exactly that, if it's based on SD, list that it is, and which one.
If there's an error or omission feel free to fix it, but preferably only for your own roms unless you're 100% sure that there's a mistake in someone else's rom
If there are multiple versions, only list the primary one, minor varients should remain on the forum post
If a link is broken and not expected to be fixed, go ahead and remove the link
Do not add guides or other links to it, it should only contain info on the rom itself and download links
Thanks for the reminder. I will modify the Wiki page for any of my further releases. I wasn't aware I could add to it.
It's a wiki, anyone with a forum account can use it (they use the same login info)
I'll be keeping an eye on it regardless of who adds to it (for accuracy and formatting),
But it helps everyone if the rom authors add it themselves first, I dont add things immediately, it could be up to a day or 3 late
Lol, I when I checked the title of this post I had to do a double take. I first saw "Add your *mom* to the wiki list" I was like... Nice....

You can't ask in this forum, "What's the best ROM?" as this goes against the rules of the board. There are many good ROMs and it's a matter of taste and preference. In general the ROMs which are based on the last HTC ICS OTA are the most stable and trouble-free. There are many to choose from that are based on this release, so you'll have to read through the threads and try them out for yourself to decide. As far as JellyBean and KitKat are concerned there are fewer to choose from and all have some type of functionality issues mostly involving Bluetooth, WiFi tethering and camera/video. Every ROM will have somewhere in the first thread or two a list of known bugs / issues and potential workarounds if available. Again, you'll need to read through and determine if the known issues are critical enough to prevent you from trying them out.
Finally, there are several extremely helpful threads with links to important, informative posts that are pinned at the top of the various forums. I suggest you read through them as well as checking out the Amaze Wiki page here on XDA (link at the top of the page) and the "Amaze Bible" page. These host incredible bits of useful information that will steer you in the right direction, so you can fully take advantage of your handset.
