Hi guys,
I am new to this, I have done a few searches, I find some stuff but no clear path on how to upgrade my M3100 to WM6.
Could someone help me out with some instructions and what files I need?
Many thanks
Take a look here, and follow relevant links.

Also don't forget to take note of Mr Vanx's guides!
Thanks for the reply, which version would be better?
Which ROM
Impossible to say which is the best for you really, all of the most recent releases are stable, fast and come with a built in selection of applications and ROM specific tweaks. The "which is the best ROM" threads tend to go on without any resolution, we all have our favorite! There are some ROM polls kicking around that are worth getting a feel for whats popular, i would suggest reading those and then trying a few of the popular ones. I went through three before deciding on one i was happiest with.
There are flavours of ROM's being released left right and centre these days, do a spot of reading over at the cooked ROM's depository and check out the Wiki page for all the information you need:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs
where is monx and where are all his fabulous roms?????
if there were any troubles, let's bring him back together. however we can do that...
mr.monx, could you please take the floor.
i'm going to also ask, that no one post anything until monx has said his part.
i just realized his threads are gone. what happenned?
Dear all valued friends,
I will no longer as a custom rom builder here (i prefer this word rather than cook/chef) but I will always be around as ur close friend. I will try my best to help anybody need my assistance in rom development or anything I can help. My future (ROMeOS² / ROMeOS³) will available to all listed in my sponsors list in my private site (monx dot info) [will be updated soon].
Thanks a lot for ur supports & xda-developers has nothing todo with this decision.
Best regards,
monx®omeos
That's sad I just discovered you and your wonderful roms .
Why did you also delete the threads by the way? You could leave the old Rom topics open?

Because it will bring more hopes & I dont want to disappoint anybody
this is truly the saddest day in raph rom developpement history. i wish you good luck and thank you for all the great roms you've released.
So, now Your ROM's will become a paid software? Donate to get a ROM?
@krogoth
no. nobody is forced to do so & it will be always as freeware. There are a lot of better ROM out there & even u can make it urself. A paid things will have a price. Mine is enough if u show a very tiny appreciation to my little effort.
It a kind of pointless of countless sleepless hours to serve someone who dont even need it.

bro, i will provide future updates to all sponsors. it will be available at my site. I'm just want to be a normal member here with no pressure
Damn sad to hear .
Thank you for all the great (public) ROM-releases you brought to us / XDA in the past Monx, it was great being a ROMEOS user / fanboy!!!
[edit] Could you not just lock the threads instead of delete them? There was some handy info floating around that could be of use still.
Anyway, it's allready too late I guess [/edit]
WTF! What was happened here?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I'll miss your ROMs and thanks for all the effort monx.
where can i download the latest roms, and has someone backuped the infos anywhere?
tonight, a friend comes extra to me that i flash it for me,
he drives 600km one way...
hope there is anything till 5 PM....
what happened actually monx?i thot u are still in exciting of cooking ur WM6.5 rom?
p/sapehal pon time kasih bro..lulz
Really sad to hear you'll be leaving Monx.
Especially with the new 6.5 ROM you proved to be again ahead of the rest.
But why delete the threads?
Even though most input to a thread is typically provided by the topic starter/chef, I'd like to think we all put our collective knowledge into it.
To just delete all of that because someone decides to move on feels wrong.
You've got to be ****ting me...
Finally a stable 6.5 and your brain decides it needs a rest . Well you deserve it. You could always opt for a little more arrogance .Something like THIS IS MY ROM, enjoy. I will update WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.... just an idea
No worries, I'll keep checkin your site. One question though, how do I report bugd, or is that the first arrogance part
tks a lot for all, and u hahe my comprension..
ciao, see u in your territory ^^
Thank you for all your efforts in xda-developers. Your roms was always the best out there for me. Thank you again. Wish you all the best!!
Thank you for your hard work, monx.
Hi guys,
I just made a blog what is a list of ANY rom for ANY phone!
Hope you'll find there what you want..
Already more than 200 ROMs on this blog!
http://all-cooked.blogspot.com
Please do not forget clicking on Google Ads if you like my work and want drink a beer with me!
Nice round-up. Are you planning on including reviews for each of them?
(BTW, you might want to have a script that shows the current date next to mine as I generally update everyday )
A script that shows the current time? Is that possible?
Yeh, it could be very useful
About reviews, its not possible, i just got a HTC Kaiser..
Or maybe people would help me, making them
Code:
<? print(Date("l F d, Y")); ?>
That is the php to print todays date
Maybe if you post in the Dev and hacking (?) forum requesting reviewers that would work. You would need to make each ROM its own page though and allow people to place comments
Blogger only allows HTML code
About reviews, not a bad idea, but Blogger is a bit crappy..
I'm waiting for donations to host all this work on a real server..
Guess I didn't make the cut since my ROMs are on page 2. Oh well. Guess thats what I get for not having any bugs
I added your ROM
and athena's works? x7500, x7501, x7510
Hi Dude, good idea.
Just adding some Athena ROMs now! Thank you
Added 4 ROMs for HTC Athena, thanks
good compilation
Thanks dude! Please make this blog known !
So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!
Anything?
A hint?

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
Hi
just wondering if there is anyone out there who is prepared to make me a custom rom the way i like it.
there are so many things for the sgs2 but so many roms are over done with the same colour or they have that nasty overscroll glow
i liked the black theme someone made but his requirments meant i had to have certain things to make it work, things i didnt want
to give you an idea, im a fan of stock look. im also a big fan of black and white themes
so if there is someone willing to give it ago please let me know and i'll donate a few $$
thanks Garth
I don't mean to be rude, but you're clearly a newbie here.
You simply don't ask devs to make custom ROMS according to your personal preferences. You can learn to do it yourself, or use one of the many available and awesome custom ROMS.
It takes much much effort to create and test a custom ROM.
Another point, if you did not create "it" then it does not belong in "Android Development" but in General or Q&A.
Here i made you a rom to your specs
gtda's Custom Rom
MD5: 1431431BAE34F3E3D41AB434
BASED ON KG2
instead of pointing your fingers on him, try to help him or if you can't then stop yelling at some one because you are not special or genius too. You also depend on this forum thats why you are wasting your time here.
mate here is your rom, this is not exactly as you want but its at least closer to your requirements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15782324&postcount=403
as per other posts that clearly don't belong in the dev forum, the OP gets the video.
we all are new to many things, if we are not able to help then we also should not point out fingers. Simply get respect by giving respect.

lol! Good work tjjensen23
wow nice response
i guess being a 30yo man with a 6month old to take care of i dont have the time to sit down and make roms. i have tried nearly every rom and theme and i dont like them. back when i had a sgs1 a guy posted he would make custom roms for ppl, figured someone here mite do the same. if its too much effort, dont make me one, simple
ppl add too much stuff that is useless to me and looks unatractive and makes the ui look like a preschool child drew it
things ppl add that i dislike
overscroll glow
battery percentage (i use fancy widgets, it has battery percentage)
changing the wifi and 3g/H to green. i prefer white on all of them
i dislike transparency on menus. makes it hard to read the menu
i like having customisable ext menu
i dont like making all the menu items one colour, stock colours are fine
id like a aosp style lock menu, or at least change the message colour from orange to blue
crt off would be nice as long as its working properly
so as you can see there is no other rom out there like that
i offered to pay so its not like im being a cheap skate expecting someone to stop everything they are doing just for me
video was funny, so im not offended if thats what u were trying to accomplish

The posts are due to you not reading the rules i guess rather than the fact you have asked for a personal rom build .
Personally i dont care what or where you post as forum gone to hell in a bucket as regards rules .

I don't think your wishes are irrelevant but they may be a little unrealistic - poll 100 people in here and they'd all want something slightly different from their ROM. So building a ROM may be unrealistic given the other demands on your time, but learning a bit of theming - which is what most of your wishlist seems to be about - isn't and may be your way forward. You may even get a more positive response to your enquiry on the Themes forum.
You are getting the negative vibes because your post is clearly posted in the wrong place - this is not the place for questions of this type, as clearly stated in several places.
ok so i wrote it in the wrong section
move it then, im not a mod so i cant.
whats wrong with the world today, i asked a question and got smashed for it, instead of baggin the **** outta me, point me in the right direction
ive looked at every theme here for sgs2, none interest me. and i wont flash a rom with things i wont be happy with.
i honestly have hardly any time to learn how to make them, i work, i take care of baby, i sleep (very little) i work again. i get a few hours every now and then to mess with my phone, so far its just been flashing the latest leaked roms
if i had more time i wouldnt be putting this request out there, id try make one myself
like i said, u dont wanna make it, then dont
u wanna help ppl, then move my thread to the right section
i apologise i put it in the wrong section im a n00b after all

Lol a noob with more than 100 posts ...
You have the time to try each roms but don't have the time to try to learn by yourself.
You are ready to pay for it,it is your choice but please, just be clear.
You don't want to make your customROM ( others occupations)
You wan't to pay someone to do the job for you . the end

Find a ROM you like that's the closest to what you want. Then you could theme it using Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen. Hope that helps.

If you don't have then use the ROMs here or don't buy a phone your not happy with. Nobody will want to make a ROM for you. No time that is your problem. I am a noob too but I read the rules.
I guess you can wait for the public rom kitchen once available ( you proly dont need to wait much longer )
After that you should be able to learn just a few things about themeing or some1 will probably make a black white theme.
I understand that it may be easy for some1 experienced to make exactly the rom you want but i don't believe some1 will bother , having to deal with updates/bugs e.t.c.
Rom kitchen and a few themeing abilities is the most realistic approach as i see it
p.s. sorry for my miss-spelling , too many beers
Well someone out there was kind enough to make me one and is helping with updates. I had a look at what was involved in making one and I just don't understand everything. I look forward to the kitchen release coz ive used it with my sgs and it was great. Thanks to the ppl who actually helped

LOL at the reactions of people in this thread, the way u guys acted about the question is really unhelpful to him pointing him as being NOOB or whatever, the person made a mistake.. its a community to help each other, and even not a ROM MALL like u can buy ROMS as ur liking.. stop acting like "PROs" saying "NOOB" to others.. XDA is changed.. miss my hermes times..

If you want to get the most out of XDA you have to learn to help yourself. Things don't come on silver platters.

i did buy the phone im happy with
just dont like other ppls roms
none come close to what i would be happy with
doesnt matter now coz someone was happy enough to make me one
there happens to be nice ppl here
if i didnt ask the question in the first place id still be stuck with stock or roms that i dislike, so i guess if u dont ask, u never find out
