I have searched the forum, but I found some people saying I can do that. Some said the FUZE has different hardware and cannot be flashed into HTC official firmware. Which is the correct answer?
If I really can, what else should I beware of? Any thing will not work after the flash?
Thanks.
Yes you can...
For starters your keyboard mapping will be wrong, but that is easily fixed by any number of CABs you can find in the forum. You also won't have any of the AT&T special apps.
I guess the real question is "why"?
If you're going to go through the effort of flashing, it makes much more sense to flash in one of the cooked ROMs that offer more features.

I agree with Rob - Why would you want to? Unless say you are modding it to include the front facing camera and want the rom to be able to take advantage of that. Other wise you will have to jump through hoops just to get it to work.

Because the original HTC rom is thoroughly tested and, HTC did make it since they made the hardware i believe they know the best software for it as well.
No offense to the cooks and all but I have not come across a faster, smoother, bug-free rom than the "Asia Build 20764" released on march 16th.
Even though I like the cool look aof the custom roms thereis no competing with the performance of the original HTC roms.
I agree with Stalix. I personally just prefer the official HTC firmware. Apparently, HTC know their hardware and have working with their software in this field for long, they should have a more stable firmware. And I personally hate to see at&t logos in my phone.(does FUZE have those logos?)
Same idea when I install my PC, I would install Microsoft official version not those modded version. They may have bug or viruses due to their experience of modding.
So on the forum what kid of key word means it's official HTC firmware? I have seen hundreds of firmware here.

They also do not turn on certain features. Take a look at all the power management features you can turn on with Advance Config. They skip out on a lot stuff so then they do not have to support it. If you have more things to support then you need a bigger support staff which is more money out the door for them...A ROM (like mine) based on an official release can be much more faster, stable and more enjoyable than a OEM ROM. Look at the TytN II...it can use the YouTube app fine but why do they not include it...

Nothing wrong with checking out (or using) the stock releases...
How can I revert cooked ROMs back to OEM HTC ROM?
thanks
I have done the flash!
Yeah I have done the flash to my fuze and the UK rom is the best way to go. I love the boot screen saying Touch Pro! You will definitely need the keyboard fix as stated earlier. You will need to find a UK serial so you can grab the rom. There is one in the xda archive. Also, get a calculator cab because the stock one is not always the best. They are also on here. When flashing the HTC rom it will take a couple of more minutes than the others. Mine was stuck on 11% for a 2 minutes. But it will complete beautifully. So also It is very stable. Let me know how you like it.

Yea but you have to also realize that all "cooked ROMs" are based off an official build in the first place.
Take a look at the ROMs available now for the KAISER; they are much better and much improved as developers are able to port updated applications to older devices, improving their performance, and functionality.
If HTC Software was so great, developers wouldnt be looking at other 3D drivers from devices such as the Omnia or the ATI 3D drivers, to improve their devices.
EDIT: To answer the original thread makers question, yes you can flash an HTC ROM to your Fuze provided you have HARDSPL'd your device first. The only thing you would need to change is the keyboard mapping which can be done by a .CAB

This. HTC might "know thier hardware" but that's exactly why you take their official ROM and modify it. Then I have my Fuze settings without running keyboard customization, better apps and tools that aren't in the official ROM, and tweaks to make it even faster. Best of both worlds.
i dont deal with cook Roms anymore, I got out of that business since the MDA Wizard.
Since then I have owned the Treo 750, ATT 8525, HTC TYNT II, and now the FUZE (touch Pro) and I have sticked to official release ROMS.
Its a personal choice really. I have had great experiences with Official Roms and I can do all the tweaks and add all the cabs my self.
So sad to see this Fuze forum flooded with so many cook ROMS. Everybody wants to be a Chef these days. I just feel bad for all the new bees coming in here and can't even decide which ROM to use

No worries with flashing Touch PRO HTC roms or cooked roms on the ATT Fuze

go to the Raphael Wiki page and will link you to the proper page for download
3g settings and link!
First off the rom for official download will be found at the following:
www.htc.com/europe
Then you will need the UK S/N code which is as follows:
HT833K018918
This was in the archive much props to who uploaded it however I will repost it as to the fact it was not easy to find. This will give you the UK rom! I love the video that plays at the beginning! It is great with battery life as well! So then grab your fuze keyboard fix and it is as if it were always a touch pro!!
Cheers and enjoy!
Sandman!

Well it is a ROM DEVELOPMENT forum. Having choices is kinda the point since which ROM to use is personal preference. Personally, since UC works well, I change between them quite a bit.

No official WM6 ROM released for Prophet. The last official ROM is WM5 from Qtek.
As for the best, it depends on your definition. More software packaged? Faster in response? or shorter booting time? How about long term stress test with less memory leak?
It also depends on to what extent you are willing to reconfigure it. No on-size-fits-all.
To me, stability and speed go above all other features. Less software packed mean less possibility to go wrong. Korand's new ROM offers these. I got around 30 software already installed on my SD card, with only one patch of CAB to make up registry and shortcut, all of them runs well.
When something went wrong, it's easier to debug, simply hard reset to original ROM state. (Not if your ROM has already got a lot of software and tweak.)
I like Korand's philosophy to build a clean ROM as platform to others. If anything not so perfect, that would be no Power Point mobile, mms, windows live messenger, and java, make it less official look.
However, Power Point is rather impractical mess in a small screen, the same to mms, WLM, without 3G.
It's really up to personal requirement to decide which one is the best. To me, besides speed and stability, the one puts most fundamental, unchanging stuff inside the ROM, and leaves out constantly upgrading stuff outside, is the best for me, partly because i can do the addon myself.
Here i would also like to take the liberty to implore the authors of cooked ROM, or forum moderators, since many guys ask which ROM is the best for them, why not do a more organized form, list to put on the top of forum.
A clean ROM, the common platform to those variants, can be pick out as a lead, like a pedigree, so people can be easier on tracing problem.
On the other hand, as a user, a beggar can't be a chooser, no author got paid here, so, try and choose one best fit your need...Good luck...

Does any one know if any one in the Titan threads (xda or ppcgeeks) will be creating a New Rom based on the leaked Diamond ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
The Kaiser community has managed to create one already.
dcd has been talking in the Diamond ROM threads so I would imagine that he will be doing one.
Has any one extracted the components from the ROM?
I was thinking of doing a Diamond Theme, but I would rather save some time if some one already extracted the components.

VetVito over at PPCGeeks has ported over a Diamond ROM and is testing some OEMs now according to his latest post.
would the titan be able to run that well though? I doubt it would be worth it.
Its not the the actuall full rom...just the updated build and such...not the 3d interface...we have no drivers
there are some cool OEM apps in the diamond
it also has aku 1.1 SYS
its very buggy. my standard ROM will not be getting this OS.
I will be updating parts of OEM from it.
since its a test build and clearly buggy, i am not going to mess with bringing over any drivers.

yes, but i wanted to ask, since i checked out the OEM ROM Pack from the diamond i was able to find out it did contain alot of updated drivers for some of the same hardware the titan had, specifically the WIFI module, i was going to update it myself, but didn't think it would be worth it if ur going to do it on a later build of your own rom MR. DCD. And hey there were even tons of hardware accelerator drivers that may actually work for the titan. wonder if you were able to port em over? probably not since a lot of these drivers are also created for what they were intended for, and that clearly isent the titan.
Regardless i cant wait to see what you have in stock for us with a Diamond based ROM for our titans, for the time being befor i get myself the HTC Raphael.
Its to bad the xperia is only GSM and not CDMA, That really looks like a nice phone, but the Raphael well be nicer maybe...
i already tried making my own cabs for alot of what the diamond offers to put on my titan, but alot of them require massive changes because of QVGA... so nothing really kicked off. and im not talking just picture re-sizing, there was alot of XML changing and .dll modifying (which im not capable of) so i don't even think well be seeing a fully fledged diamond clone rom for our titans any time soon, ESPECIALLY SINCE WERE STILL WAITING FOR THOES DAMN HARDWARE ACCELERATION DRIVERS... UGH... Did they think since its QVGA, that its just not even worth it? well they better be coming with em soon, cause I'm getting ridiculously impatient.

i didnt look at the wifi driver really..
i played a little bit with drivers last night (i have the cdma diamond rom, not sure if its leaked anywhere yet?) but it seemed that anything of interest has a dependency down the chain that is incompatible. i may give it another try but when i found that, i scrapped that project for other things.
right now i am trying to package/play with the OEM stuff. some of it will make it over.
Cool, but I don't mean to crush hopes, just thought you should know:
The Diamond has 192MB or RAM or 3 times what the titan has and 1.5x what were begging for (128...) we're going to run into big problems. Though the idea of OEM would be cool.
Also on the subject of ROMs the P6500 now has a forum and it's got a rom from it. The 6500 is rumored to have good drivers so that could be cool.
Unfortunately the Raphael will be GSM if the recent engadget news is correct which pus the thing on T-Mobile.

Hello,
I've been on my Touch Pro now for a little over a week. It's truly a great phone out of the box, but perhaps it could be better? I noticed a lot of work and posts concerning different ROMs for the Diamond and Touch Pro.
I'm wondering which ROMs, if any, can be used on the Sprint Touch Pro. I understand that custom ROMs are faster, which is good.. but what else might they provide besides pre-installed or removed programs?
If I were to use a different ROM, I do want the Sprint Navigation and Sprint TV apps that are pre-installed. I suppose I could grab those CABs and install them manually?
Apologies if this has been asked, but it seems most of the stuff around here pertains to the GSM version of the Touch Pro. I don't want to try anything without being 100% sure!
Lastly, has anyone posted a backup of the stock Sprint ROM to go back to?
I too would like to know all this as my sprint touch pro is coming tuesday. does anyone know if there is a wiki for sprint touch pro yet?
Count me in. I've been a lurker for many years (back when the HTC Apache came out) and am lovin DCD's rom for the Titan. Now that I've jumped on the Touch-pro bandwagon I'm looking for a cooked rom too. JD's rom does not interest me since it removes features I want, and I'm not sure what the benefit of his rom is.
Same here, except I'm getting a Verizon TP soon.
Is there some page that compares/contrasts the various roms that are available?
Re:Custom Roms
There is a list of custom roms as well as other info you may want to read in the link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443869
my fav one so far
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=43229
that one has been my fav. I'm a huge fan of nuerom but its not that great for the touch pro right now. I use 32mb pp and its sweeeeeeet
ive tried all the ones posted on ppcgeeks. the one i like the best is ya4juggs. the newest ones are clean roms so there are really nothing in them except basic stuff, for the person who posted about the sprint navagation and sprint tv. not to worry there is a link for a sprint cabs including the ones you want and more you just have to instal them and your good to go. if you can find them i will post them. dont forget to unlock your touch pro
So, are these custom ROMs just reportedly faster because they have less installed?

Yes, use this one, if you use the one in your previous post it will brick your device.
Are there any ROMs that keep the Bell branding? I remember using a WM6 ROM on my Treo and it changed the logo to Sprint, which got me weird looks when I tried to sell it
Anyway, I basically just want to make sure that the ROMs for Sprint will also work with Bell's Touch Pros.
I like MightROM4 for windows mobile 6.1 and MightROM5 for Windows Mobile 6.5.
I also have seen someone porting Touch Pro2 ROM to original Touch Pro which has some new features.
i like neuroms,, started using nuerom on my mogul! it went from a piece of crap, to a 31mb monster that was faster than my stock touch pro
so now im using nuerom for my tp
I know, I know....
but i am not a flash junkie and don't want my first experience with the TP to be flashing 10 roms. I'm just looking to get a decent one (preferably not a black theme ) and run with it to get to know touchflo and the device. Thanks!
There's a good Wiki associated with this device. Get to know the chefs then start reading their threads. Took me about an evening to find what I was looking for.
Just my opinion but, NATF's all the way! And the FuzeBerry of course....
Hi there
Ive coome over from the hermes camp too (although its still running)
i would personally reccomend the lantis os roms but again, and you'll see this all over xda, you will only find the best rom for you after flashing a few
and theres only really a handful to try!
good luck and make sure you've hardspl'd and have your stock rom and radio versions written down or backed up just in case you have to do a warranty return! saves u the hassle of trying to hunt it down in the panic!

You should try them all, so you can see what the difference between a good and bad rom is. Each rom is built different for different so not all roms may suit your needs..... but i agree on Lantis OS being my favorite right now.
I personally tried Romeo, NATF and Proven and decided to stick with Proven.
I had problems with the screen shutting off during calls with Romeo.
I experienced TF3D lag with NATF.
Proven has been rock solid and I like the Diamond tweaks he's incorporated.
if you don't like TF3D go with Da_G.. I'm actually running a VGA version of HTC Home on mine.. love the speed.
Thread like these usually get closed pretty fast, I'm suprised that yours last a day
It's really all depend on what you like, they are all great. For the past few days, I've tried many of them. And to be honest, there is no BEST one. It's really depend on what you need and what you like.
Da_G is has the cleanest ROM NaTF's
Elite RC2 Is fully loaded with a new feeling
NATF Is stable, and GPS lock is pretty quick (update very often)
Proven, it's like Elite with less Applications and function (cleaner)
Romeo is very stable
.... Those are what i've tried
Check the Wikki in sticky post.
I think it is a good question that should come up from time to time.. sure everyone has their personal preferences but for a new person wanting a quick rundown on the most current ROMS to date.. just saving the guy some time downloading and flashing all those different ROMS. anyone here flashed all released ROMS to date?
I also went from the Hermes (8525) about a week and a half ago. Fuze was my christmas present .
I tried NATF's ROM for about a week and had many problems, which i seemed to ignore because of all its good feedback. I then tried Lantis OS and had no problems at all, I am still currently using it. No errors and speedy fast.
My suggestion is Lantis OS for the moment, but NATF is suppose to be releasing his v4.0 ROM sometime today or tomorrow so you should look out for that as well.
Good luck with your fuze and your flashing, and enjoy that beautiful VGA screen that i loved when i got it compared to the Hermes
I don't think that XDA-developers ever had any problems with folks discussing ROMs and their xp with the various flavors in a rational manner. We usually end up shutting down threads because the first reply is "Use search you id10t!" followed by general thread degeneration.
Anyhoo.. normally I'm one of the chefs, but with this device I've found that Da_G's direction mirrors the way I'd be going anyway. He's more interested in technical improvements to the GDI, GPS etc than in all the additional apps. I'm pretty confident that he's well on his way to creating a solid base ROM that's free for anyone to work from. Exactly what I would have done. Why re-invent the wheel?
This is what these kinds of threads are supposed to be like! As stated by a couple people previously, normally these get dismissed and/or flamed. When people ask these types of questions, usually they are not asking (at least the smart ones aren't) which ROM the SHOULD flash, but rather what is your experiances with the ones you have used.
I understand how confusing it may be trying to decide which one to use - they all look the same as far as applications that are cooked in. Only difference aesthetically are the different themes and that alone is not a deciding factor for me.
Just as everyone has stated - just try some out and see how they feel to you. ie button mapping, folder layout, apps installed, speed, etc. I personally like Aruppenthal's RRE ROM but that's just my 2 cents.
FYI: From what I've seen, EVERY ROM has its own bugs/quirks that may or may not annoy you.

I second the Lantis OS. I am using it as well. It is very fast and stable. I had problems with NATF's as well. But I will try NATF's v4.0 when it is released.

The one I'm using is a cab called htchome2.cab that I found in the diamond forum...works fine but the media player tab does not work.
And I have been using either Lantis or DaG Rom's....I use Blackberry Connect which adds lag to the fuze anyway but it seems to affect these Roms the least. I would be interested in hearing what Rom's Blackberry Connect users are fond of as it seems to make a big difference.
i too just got my Fuze from Kaiser. right now im using RomEOS and really like it. i might try the Da_G because i really dont care about TF3D.
I have a 20 key Neon 300 that is itching for a new ROM.
Flasher beware!
There are a few ROM's here that I have found to be pretty good. One thing you may want to keep in mind is that once you flash a custom ROM, there is currently no going back. HTC does not offer an upgrade or ship ROM for the NEON 300 US. The best you can hope for at this time is to flash Bills rebuilt ROM. It is still not the original, and any warranty you might have will be void.
Now that said, here is a llist of the ROM's that I am aware of:
HTC Neon200 Build 21046 WWE and RUS
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=518975
It's a pretty decent ROM, as long as you don't mind a little Russian in a few of the apps. I don't speak a word of it, but it hasn't been so bad that I won't use it. It has Manila 2D and the customizer built in. Pretty good ROM in my opinion
SETH´s NEON V3 FINAL & V3 LIGHTER
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419892
Pretty basic but stable ROM, it has a few little extras but nothing that takes up a lot of space. I have not used the "Lighter" version, but I can imagine that is is Lighter than the other edition, lol.
Seth actually has two other ROM's as well. I have not used his V1, but his V2 seems to run pretty well.
If any body has flashed a custom ROM, but decided that they wanted their old ROM back, sadly an original ROM is not available. But, if you click on the link in my signature, that ROM is probably as close as you can get. I personally used it for several months and never had any problems with it.
Well, there you go. There are probably more, but these are the only ones I have used.
My issue is with the touch screen slow downs that seem to be corrected with the s600 touch.dll file. But I have tried to install this from some of the other links on this forum but to no avail. It seems to be designed for other phones besides the neon300 or it just needs to be burned into a rom image for it to work on the 300 in particular.
Big Papa, does your rebuilt rom include this? The stock rom is fine in my opinion only because it isn't bloated out like the ATT stuff but this slow down is so annoying. Thanks.

The rebuild was intended to be as close to possible as the original ROM. It was built from a stock ROM dump with nothing added or changed. It does not have anything like carrier splash screens or other junk that would be on it if you bought it through a regular phone provider. It is pretty light, and works very well if all you want is a very basic ROM. It's pretty much what you would expect if you purchased it directly from HTC.
I'm pretty much just a layman, I am still just barely learning about programming and modding and the only changes I make are if they are fairly simple to understand, with step by step directions. I usually just read through the threads and listen to what other people say about how well things work, or what kind of problems they have been having. When they go into any detail about coding or Reg editting, I tend to get pretty lost.
Thanks for the response Big Papa Rich. And thank you for building this rom. It could be a nice fall back if I mess things up
