Me too , im waiting for it as well to cure my sickness !!!:(

I love EnergyROM too!!! It is simply awesome. However, I gave up the rom for my Touch HD, but not because of the rom, it was a huge regret to me with such awesome rom, the problem was it was too much burden to the slow processor compare to HD2, and it was too sluggish to me.

I'm getting the HD2 today!!!! Yes today, YAY!!!!!!! And I'm waiting for the EnergyROM!!!!!!!!!! Wa hahahahahahahah

Okay. I noticed :)

Will release today or tomorrow. I need some GOOD beta testers though. I mainly need to know if the ROM boots. Find me on an IM network so we can do this :) Thanks

Must be happening soon-ish judging by NRG's post on the 28th. The guy is on holiday though FFS! Why don't those of you impatiently complaining try donating to NRG!

No need to donate for me to make ROMs. I'm not like other chefs... heh


I have a fully automated kitchen that puts out ROMs for many devices. It's just a matter of adding the Leo to it, and then everytime I release new ROMs, the Leo gets updated too. It's that easy :)

BUT, before I can do that, I need to fine tune the Leo's base driver set, xip and base apps. For that I need your help, to make sure the ROM is bootable.
I will make a couple of test roms, based on 21885 and 28011 (28014 sucks!) and posting them here in this post. Please download and test to see if they work, but be PREPARED for the ROM not to boot and be ready with a stock ROM to flash back to. By stock I mean a stock RUU upgrade EXE from your carrier or from HTC. I would suggest trying it before you flash my ROM, to make sure it works.

Give me a couple hours to put one toghether.. I will update this post. Again, dont download blindly and install it, unless you have a way to restore your phone !!! Be warned! :)

    Welcome to the "EnergyROM" thread !


    This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Touch HD2 (Leo) device.

    I build my ROMs with four main goals.

    • Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
    • Speed !!!
    • Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
    • Stability through private beta testing before public release
    I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.


    This firmware is compatible with all HD2 devices manufactured by HTC !


    >> If you're an advanced user and know what you want already, jump directly to post #2 and download what build you'll like to install.


    >> If you're a beginner, read on as there's a few things you need to do first.


    • You need to install a modified "SPL" on your device that allows installation of custom ROMs such as this one. It's called a "Hard SPL" and it's in of these stickies at the top of this forum (not this thread!).

    If you have a T-Mobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a "radio". The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio.

    I RECOMMEND FLASHING RADIO 2.07.50 or 2.12.50 !

    After you install the correct radio, go on to post #2 and download the ROM of your choice. There's always a choice of 2 (sometimes 3) builds for each "flavor" of the ROM. Looking at the download folders you'll see:


    • A 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner. This build uses the same stock system that came with your device. This is usually the fastest and most stable build, but it's also the least fancy :)

    • A 29022 Build that's the latest in Microsoft's development with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys, making it all very "finger friendly". These builds reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. Most people choose this build... Why else would you install a custom ROM ? :)

    After flashing the ROM, please read the FAQ in post 4, and maybe even the links to the individual modifications for each ROM in post 2 (such as "Cookie", "GTX" etc). It will help you get more familiar with which one and will greatly reduce the initial learning curve.

    The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs every few days, as new builds come down the pipe.

    I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization), or the built in "Settings Exporter" in the Tools folder. Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!


    BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD AND FLASH ANY OF THESE ROMS, MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO VERSION IS AT LEAST 2.07.50 (not 51! any .50 version should be okay) , OR YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOTUP AFTER YOU FLASH !
    IF YOU HAVE A TMOBILE USA DEVICE, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLASH A NEW RADIO, BUT 2.07.50 IS STILL RECOMMENDED TO WORK BEST WITH THIS ROM.


    You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.

    He means I need to do some Android ROMs for the HD2. Hmm... I think I just might. Maybe start off with skinning of t he existing ones to look like my WM ROMs then.. take it from there.

    Hi,

    Great work the new 29005 seems to be a bit quicker, however unless it's me (always a possibility) none of the program icons appear to have the sencity skinning for instance in the start menu.

    The start menu icons are NOT supposed to skinned. That's quite normal...

    This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.


    The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
    They all come in two versions,
    Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)

    You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.

    The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
    quite a few more features and speed.



    EnergyROM_Energy.png

    My own 'Energy' style

    • This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
    • Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
    • Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
    • 3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
    • 3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !

    EnergyROM_Dinik.png

    Dinik's "Anastasia"
    • This ROM series is skinned with Dinik's great "Anastasia" theme applied on everything.
    • Everything has been skinned, including Sense, the start menu items, the soft keyboard, parts of the dialer... etc


    EnergyROM_sencity.png

    _LeCiel_'s ".sencity"


    • This ROM is themed with the .sencity theme released by _LeCiel_ who is a very talented artist ! Please support his work if possible.
    • .sencity is not %100 complete yet, but _LeCiel_ is working hard on finishing his work to completely skin the entire ROM.

    EnergyROM_TouchOfGlass.png


    DJC & Bobsbbq's "Touch Of Glass"
    • This ROM series is skinned with DJC's "Touch of Glass" theme throughout Sense and the Start Menu
    • More will be skinned as DJC continues his work on the theme in the future...
    • Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
    EnergyROM_GTX.png

    ElCondor's "GTX"

    • This ROM has the white GTX theme applied
    • Android styled taskbar, matching dialer, matching start menu background and Action screen background
    • GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different (white) experience

    So looking at the poll numbers... CHT 2.0 trumps CHT 1.8.5 by a lot. :)
