[Q] Is NETCFv35 Still required on 3.14 Stock ROM? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know I had to install NETCFv35 for the prior Stock rom to get things like BSB Tweaks to work (can't recall if it is was also required for Duttys Task Manager)
Anyway I vaguely recall that the new 3.14 stock rom has an updated NetCF.
SO - do I still need NETCFv35 to get the following to work:
BSB Tweaks
Duttys Task Manager
CHT v2
Also I have seen reference to NETCFv35.Messages.en.
Again would I need this for the newest ROM and what does it do/is it for?
Thanks

On the t-mobile HD2 .netcf 3.5 will not install as it states it is an older version of what is already on the platform

That was what I vaguely recall as well (for the life of me I can't find the actual comments in any of the "New Official ROM 3.14" threads regarding this topic)
It would help alot if anyone using BSB, CHT etc could confirm if it works fine "out of the box" on 3.14....
Thanks for your reply.

Cooked ROM as close to stock ROM except w/ 6.1

Hey all, I searched for this a number of ways, but the results were so many and after looking through many I never did find what I'm looking for. Can anyone tell me where to get a ROM as close to the Stock Sprint ROM except w/ WM 6.1 integrated? Thank you in advance.
B~
try Key's rom
You can try key's ROM here
I think you will find that Keys Rom is WM6
If you want as close to stock as possible, then I suggest using dcd's 3.0.1 kitchen and cook one yourself. dcd'd kitchen includes WM6.1 by default and you can add any other customizations you require which will get you pretty close to a the perfect rom you want.
Thank you both for the advice. However, I don't know enough about the ROMs to know how to "cook" them. Even though I'm sure I could learn, I don't know what components come in the stock ROM.
VetVito made one that is real close to stock with 6.1. You can find it here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18836 - just scroll down till you see "Stock 6.1 Rom 3.35 base:"
well DCD has roms that has been cooked by bored. You don't have to use the kitchen. click here and scroll down to ROMS. good luck!

Fuze ROM vs Touch Pro ROM?

Hi,
I just bought an ATT Fuze and want to "clean it up" by installing a clean ROM on it.
I've done a lot of search here but there is SO MUCH information that in the end i'm still not clear about what's the latest and what's outdated.
So i'm asking a couple of questions. Answers or redirections will be much appreciated.
- If I want to install a custom ROM, should I pick a Fuze ROM or a Touch Pro ROM? (I am not using the phone in the US so I don't need to stick to ATT ROMs). Is one ROM better than the other by nature?
- Is there a "ROM-Status Wiki" or somewhere where one can go and check what are the latest FUZE/TPro ROMs available and what are the features in them? Or is going through all the threads the only way? What if I get a ROM and its not the latest? because there are so many threads out there.
thanks

Im assuming that you are referring to Official (non cooked Roms)
The latest English Touch Pro Rom is 5.05 which can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478657
The Touch Pro Rom is better because it has better GPS signal and no ATT crap and likely to run faster.
You can also get the latest Radio Rom which is 1.12.25.19

The only you need to do is get the cab that convert the ATT Fuze hardware keyboard when running Touch Pro Rom which can be found here

Before you do all this you need to Run HardSPL on the Fuze which can be found here

This is a latest ATT Fuze 5.08 "Test Rom" so you dont need to install the keyboard fix cab

Anyway read through and make an informed decision for yourself. Everything else I did not list are cooked ROMs which I personally not a big fan of. I like the official ROMS and make the customizations myself.
Thank you both of you. Between your two replies, you've answered exactly what I was asking for.
Much appreciated. Thanks again!
Rom Location?
I bought my FUZE in the US. But I am using it in Asia.
If I slash it with an English Asian TPro Rom, what difference does it make VS a non Asian ROM?
nothing really same old stuff. you just have to set your regions and time dislay and calendar display format. and of course change the keyboard layout to accomodate TP ROm on Fuze. You better off using the Asian Rom if you are using in Asia cause the Radio Rom should work better.
once again, thank you.
Thanks to your answers, I am getting more familiar with Raphael and the ROMs and trying out stuff.
I also like to install Stock (shipped) ROMs and then make my own customizations. So I have flashed the WWE Asia rom and its working very well.
But now I want to install the new Rhodium TF3D 2. It is recommended for OS builds 21000 or higher. However the latest shipped ROMs are less than 21000.
So now my question is, how can I upgrade my OS build to 21000 without installing a cooked ROM? I know the answer is probably "no you can't" so my real question is, "being a person who likes to stay as close to a Stock Rom without going into cooked roms, what the best bet to achieve this?"
Thanks again in advance.
dont know of a solution

Settings -> System -> About
Should read something similar to this:

AKU - 1.6.4

[Q] Custom ROM closest to Stock?

I know I could have used the search engine for the question I`m going to ask you, people, but I haven`t got the slightest idea about what to search for.
I would like to use a new ROM for my HD2, but I want something which is close to stock, because I want to use the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 as well. One of the key features should be a WORKING SMS application, which would NOT contain the "stuck in outbox" bug.
Please help me decide upon a specific ROM and, if I posted in the wrong section, I kindly ask a moderator to move my topic where it belongs to.
Many thanks in advance!
Just read each thread - but AFAIK there isn't one ROM using SPB
I have seen some ROMs coming pre-cooked with SPb inside, but that`s not my point. All I want is a simple ROM, better than the official 1.48, which has the SMS issue solved...
NRGZ28 (EnergyRoms) has made a build with:
Energy.Leo.23557.Titanium.Apr.13.7z
or
Energy.Leo.21898.Titanium.Apr.13.7z
Titanium means that HTC Sense is not cooked in so you can use SPB Mobile Shell (this is also the reason he made those 2 titanium builds)
As far as i see from his twitter page he intends to cook a version including spb mobile shell as well
@Iosif_Octavian A new SPB themed energyrom will be made pretty soon here.. about 13 hours ago via Digsby in reply to Iosif_Octavian

Sounds pretty good, actually... Could you provide a link, please? I've found something but it`s for the HD, not for the HD2.
Also, I`d like to mention the fact that I`ve found a ROM named Topix which seems to be pretty much similar to the stock one, except for some new apps...

so, that's all the cooked roms and official roms from 1.66 then, I bet you'd struggle to find a rom that doesn't fit the above criteria.
Well there's no official 1.66 for my device as HTC won't take my S/N for whatever reason. So right now all I can do is go for a cooked ROM. The particular thing I want my ROM to do is only to fix the SMS bug and nothing more. That's why I have such a hard time finding one, because all of them include other changes, which I don't want to have. I mean, it's ok if it includes several useful apps, but I don't want a whole pile of new stuff...
if you hspl you don't have to go for a cooked rom. all the official roms are available in the official roms thread. hit that bigg fatty first link in the first post.
just flash them over usb, they'll work fine.
But will it be available in WWE? I really like my HD2 speaking English...
And while we're at it, is the SMS issue fixed in the 1.66 ROM?
And another thing... is 1.66 the latest official ROM? I checked the post, but it only mentions the 1.46 (or sthing) and the 1.48...
in the time it took to ask you could have looked at the link and seen most roms are available, especially wwe and uk provider stock roms.
There are enough cooked ROMs out, everyone should find their own, just flash one and try it out every cook spends a lot of time on the development. So go ahead and try a couple of them. Personally I tried out about 4 different ROMs and stuck by Artemis. Good luck

Which ROM should I go with?

Hey all!
So I've decided that I don't like the instability of my HD2 anymore, it's gotten to be quite buggy at times so I was thinking that a ROM flash would do the trick, so that I can start over again. I need to learn how to do it again, though, it's been a while for me.
The problem is, there's TONS of ROMs out there that I don't know what to do or which one to choose! There's just so many that I can't decide.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I value speed, functionality, productivity, messaging features and most of all, stability. Would anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for your time, XDA!
to flash a custom ROM, yoiu will first need to download HSPL (the latest is version 3). if you search the forums, you will find the main thread. as i have a t8585, i can use any version of HSPL, but you should check on the main thread which one is compatible with your handset (tmous only works with 1 version). after installing HSPL, you can then choose your custom ROM. i think the latest version is HSPL 2.08
as you said, there are hundreds of custom ROMS. on the forums somewhere there was a comparison table of all the available ROMS, but it was out of date and incomplete the last time i looked a few months ago. personally, i would reccommend CleanEX ROMs as they are very fast and stable. there were 3 to choose from, but i believe one of the ROM developers has now retired from it, so that leaves 2 that will be kept up to date. personally, ive been using the DsE version (i have version 3.5). these are updated frequently to a point where i only update to major releases (version 2 to version 3 for example) and only update to a .x version if i am experiencing a problem that the new version fixes (hence being on 3.5 currently). the ROM has some things left out, so you may need to download some CABs to get some of the apps (i think there are about 3 apps left out, one of which is Microsoft MyPhone). you can still apply registry tweaks, but be careful if using cabbed versions (ive had a few that stop sense from loading) programs like bsb tweaks work as well.
depending on what stock ROM you have, you may also need to update the radio rom before installing the custom ROM. the WWE version of generic ROMS uses very outdated radio ROMs. CleanEX ROMs require radio 2.08 or higher. there are several versions to choose from, but 2.12 is the latest, 2.11 seems to be the most stable, and 2.10 gives the better battery life. ive personally been using 2.11, as 2.12 caused touch screen issues, but that may be because the radio was from a non WWE ROM
the only other thing you will come accross is weather to use WM 6.5 or 6.5.5. WM 6.5 is what the WWE ROMs use, which has the start menu at the top. WM 6.5.5 has the start menu at the bottom, but is more finger friendly with slightly larger buttons. performance wise, they seem to be the same. i have tried out both and WM 6.5.5 takes some getting used to, but is easier to use
I use ChuckyROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618787. It works pretty well and have had no problems with it.
THANKS for the advice, Matt. I've been looking for this!!
artemis, looks like stock, without the problems, only ROM ive used so far that I haven't had problems with, loved energy, but wont work with my phone, same with miri, only issue is the text system, same as stock rom, loads quicker, but still bit funny
there is no perfect rom, but let's say this:
eye candy: dinik & miri (WWE)
practical and smooth: chuckyrom gtx (WWE)
stable and with some nice features: Duttys crème de la crème (MULTILANG)
edit: maybe it's best to upgrade your radio BEFORE flashing a rom

i was about to add that to my post! some roms require newer radio versions, its best to check on the rom thread for requirements and install instructions. at the end of the day, rom choice is personal, ive tried duttys holy grail, but found it to be too unstable, ive tried energy, but had issues with sense lagging. cleanex worked best for me, but im sure others will say the same about cleanex as what i have said about other roms. generally, if its your first custom rom and you are a bit unsure about it, look for a close to stock rom, which keeps it simple. also look for names of experienced developers. all roms will have their own thread, with the features, whats been added, whats been removed, requirements, install instructions and faq, plus users will often rate/review the rom and post up problems and solutions. if you PM me, i can try and hunt down the comparison guide i downloaded (i havent been able to find the thread on xda ) and i can send it to you, this may help you see what some roms offer

Hey Koolxx, as far as I know: Dutty's ROMs are by far the closest to stock!
Its a very stable and sleek ROM with 100% Stock Philosophy. I use it since I own my HD2, it's just great. And if ecessary a very good base for further modification, skins & themes.
The last COM2 Version (Stock was COM2) is V18 and looks absolutely like stock when the RSS Reader is removed. All newer Versions are COM3 with a different Button Layout.
If you wanna check it out, here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634

hi, Myrixamophit.. thanks for replying. i got a problem that maybe you can help me with. the reason i need a custom ROM is cuz my locked TMOUS HD2 produces static on every call. a moderator and cool guy named, T-Macgnolia, suggests i get a custom ROM and Radio with it. the problem with ROMS from Dutty is that theyre based on 3.14. and T-Macgnolia said that stock ROMs based on 3.14 ROMs are very dependant of what radio version I use. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio.
if I want to use a lower radio version, I'll need a custom ROM. but they may still give problems since most recent custom ROMs are based on 3.14 stock ROMs. i still need a lower version radio to eliminate static from calls.
please let me know what you suggest.. thanks, man.
Oh in that case I suggest you flash HSPL and then flash a stock ROM prior to 3.14. You'll find it on XDA or HTC website. Then you can flash the radio of your choice. But then be warned you wont be able to get access to the 1024 mb of RAM that the T-MO HD2 has.

NRG makes a "Reference" ROM that has the latest OS, but no NRG add-ons.

But still is themed a lot (which I don't like ). Much, much closer to stock are:

I would have to disagree, I think the "reference" ROM looks almost exactly like the Stock ROM. Are you referring to the "Energy" ROM, which is right above the "Reference" one?
You're partially right, I thought of Energy ROM. But still, Reference has changed icons, wallpapers and things like that. Artemis ROM except of having additional soft added and being tweaked is 100% stock.
I agree completely with Raven. those two roms he has listed are built with stock philosophy. I personally use Dutty v18 on my HD2. its the best he's built. Energy Reference is also a good rom, but heavily customized apart from icons in Sense. Folder icons in Start Menu are also changed. You don't even get as much free ram and internal phone memory with Energy, as much as you get with Dutty. NRG cooks in quite a few applications even in Reference roms which you might not end up using ever. That said, NRG is a great chef, make no mistake.

Thanks for the update, I have never used the Reference ROM, but I always think of it when people as for a "more stock but not stock" experience.
Hey koolxx just wanted to say thanks for the mention, but like Icsaid before I am not a moderated. Although it might would be cool to be a moderator, but moderator I am not.
Also at koolxx and anand12 you can not flash a official or custom ROM that is older than a 2.07 ROM to a TMOUS HD2, maybe a 2.05 ROM. But I would only flash a 2.07 ROM tovbe safe. Yes if you found a custom ROM of a later version that did not haveca radio included you could flash it to a TMOUS but it would run like crap as like anand12 said you would not be able to use all of the 527MB of RAM the TMOUS has (notice I said RAM not ROM anand12 ). But if the ROM has a radio with it, a ROM of a version older than what I mentioned is guaranteed to brick a TMOUS..

Yes, but I would not expect any more ROM upgrades, since MS has turned to WP7 instead.
