i have a sprint touch pro, running nuerom 6.1, am i able to install a 6.5 rom?
yup...sure are
Just make sure to find one you like and that it supports your carrier - if it doesn't natively, then download the appropriate cab to set it up as such.
--PS
Almost every 6.5 ROM out there will work on sprint. NRGs ROM is the best IMO, but that is up to the individual. The only extra thing you need to do is install the Sprint Carrier CABs, but it takes two seconds and works AWESOMELY!!!!
thank, i was interested in trying one of those 6.5 roms,, they look sick

Hello everyone,
I'm a senior member over in the Herald forum, I have a T-mobile Wing, aka HTC Atlas / Herald... but I have a friend who is switching to Verizon and he really liked my Atlas, and wanted to get a PPC... so I was helping him with his purchase.
My main question is, who are the cooks and what are the best roms available for this PPC? I know this is kind of a vague question, because we have n00bs asking it all the time in the Herald forum, but I'm looking for a couple of opinions and a little help getting pointed in the right direction.
Basically so far I've found :
dcd's titan ROMs & kitchen 3.0.1
key's v1.2.5 cleaned 3.35 kitchen
Are those the 2 Rom's available for this device?
He is in the medical field ... so I'd like to set him up with the most stable, fastest rom available, since he needs his phone to be reliable. What 6.1 Rom are available and what do you guys think would be his best bet?
Basically, the moment my friend purchases this phone, he is going to come over and I'm going to flash it and install any other software he needs on there... so I was trying to get some input prior to.
Thanks in advance
Nexvision cooks up a mean ROM for sure...you gotta like bells and whistles, but they are among my favs...

For stability's sake, I'd suggest sticking to a WM 6 ROM as nothing is yet official and released in WM 6.1 for the Titan.
DCD's 1.7.x is solid and tweaked based upon the pre-GPS enabled WM 6 ROMs, PPCGeeks has some cleaned releases based upon last week's Sprint release (WM 6), and you've found my kitchen that is also just a cleaning (initiated by a1jatt) of last week's Sprint release, without any built-in tweaks to the base ROM, and only options to change and add to the ROM as one chooses. My latest version (1.2.5.1) appears to be running fine with no current unresolved stability complaints against it in the thread.
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 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...

Let's recall that approx 10 months ago, the big breakthrough in this community for stable reliable 6.1 TytN II ROMs, was the release in May of 6.1 WWE by HTC. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
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.
US 3G Effected?

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

so where would a 'newb' go to find a nice stock rom that isnt cooked? seems like all the roms here are cooked to some extent or another.
No worries with flashing Touch PRO HTC roms or cooked roms on the ATT Fuze
I am currently using WM6.5 for the Touch PRO on an unlocked Fuze with a Canadian 3G provider with ZERO problems !

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.
Ok guys, sorry to bother you, please excuse if I sound like a newb on here.
I just bought a Touch Pro (Raphael) from Verizon, and the verizon ROM blows, honestly, so I am thinking about flashin to a better rom, and I'm considering going to 6.5, so I have 3 questions and if someone could please help me I would appreciate it.
#1 Is windows mobile 6.5 worth using? Does is Have TOuchFlo 3D or Manila 3D? And are there even ANY 6.5 ROMS that work with Verizon Raphael?
#2 I've read that SSK is the best 6.1 Rom out, and I would like to try it, but I cannot seem to find a link to it. If someone could post a link I would appreciate it.
#3 This may seem like a dumb question, but is there a way I can backup the ROM from my phone, so I can do a flashback for warranty, etc?
Thanks guys, and keep up the good work!
6.5 is not even "out" yet, its only in beta phases. If you want to be smart, wait until its actually supported by microsoft when it releases this summer,
Honestly I dont think I want to flash my Verizon HTC. I love gadgeting it, but I dont want to risk irreplaceable damage, hence why I make record of my registry edits, etc.
I loaded JD CDMA 6.5 in to my Verizon Touch Pro a few weeks ago. It's pretty damn fast but that was compared to stock rom. Perhaps the 6.1 JD would be much faster as well. It does seem to work and I really like the new user interface. JD's is for Sprint but yet it work ok on Verizon. There are bugs so I would also advise that if you don't want to deal with bugs then wait and go with 6.1 for now (such as 5-10 soft resets before it will actually come up without locking on boot up). I can't give any advice on 6.1.
At the end of the day, I am a Newb as well so this for what it's worth. There are far more knowledgable people out there.
I'm a fan of MitghyROM (currently 4.16) over at PPCGeeks.com.
Its a solid ROM, although you need to downsize the PagePool for the VZW ROM (I hate having to do that).
XBMod is working on TF3D 2 for the 6.5 ROMs, but its also beta. Beta + beta = not such a fun time usually.
They actually have the stock ROMs available at PPCGeeks, so no back up necessary.
Go here...
I cooked a WinMo 6.5 rom, build/version 21202, using SSK (Scott's Simple Kitchen) 1.7, and it worked very nicely on my Verizon Pro. I didn't encounter any bugs, but didn't use it that extensively either. Performance was good, but not as good as the tweaked 6.1 roms I've cooked with the same kitchen. I've been running a rom I cooked in that kitchen, build 20954 with a tweaked XIP by FormerPalmOS, and it is faster than any of the over half a dozen roms I've tried, and boot with about 75 MB of ram free.
What is a good rom for an alltel touch pro? What im looking for is manilla 2+ and working wifi internet sharing. Just the stock htc black mainilla is what im looking for. Not sure on 6.1 or 6.5 what is the advantage of 6.5? I want the faster more stable one what are some advantages of 6.5? do all programs work in 6.5? if not i will stick with 6.1.
Thanks for your opinions.
Edit: forgot to mention it is an alltel touch pro but now on verizon.
TRY,TRY & TRY till you get the right one..one may be good for me but may not be for you..there are wonderful cooks in raphael section..there are different ROM's for CDMA and GSM so be careful they cant be be interchanged.
