** I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS ROM, THIS ROM WAS CREATED BY NRGZ28 @ PPCGEEKS **
Welcome to my kitchen!

Here's what's on the menu today...

This is an HTC Herman CDMA ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of this thread.

I always build my ROMs with three main goals.

• Eye candy.
• Speed!!
• Smoothness, consistency and good esthetics.

I preconfigure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go, how I'd want it. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set.

You will find a new ROM posted here every few days, as I always update them with the latest "ingredients" that come down the pipe, from either Microsoft or HTC. Because of that, I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization).


I usually make 3 versions of this ROM. If you don't see one in the download directory, it either means I haven't uploaded it OR I'm not making one for the current release yet.

Here are the different versions and what they mean.

• "Standard" includes the new TF3D2 (Rhodium Manila) along with the standard Windows Mobile 6.5 today plugin (Titanium*) and the Tachi dialer

• "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version. This also includes the regular HTC dialer

You will find TWO core versions of each of the above versions.

One based on an the latest official windows build (currently 21864) and the other, built on the latest beta.

Currently the fast, stable, most bug free "official build" is 21864. I recommend you start with that first! :)

see i like it more for the fact that it announces your appts and caller id, i can't always look at the phone when something pops up.

I'd start thinking i was having schizoid affective disorder or the start of schizophrenia. Of course this would mean i'd have to smash my phone while wearing my foil pirate hat.

i agree with that, the speaking part never gets right. so i rarely use that part of VC

hahahahahaha nice i made one that gives me better reception to send brain signals.

[Nightcreeper]

Thanks for the post. I have installed it and really like it as opposed to my stock rom. I ran a custom ROM by Dash for my mogul, but since getting the TP I haven't seen a need until recently with TomTom where it started getting sluggish. Thanks for the post!

PS: I can't figure out where to check installed at for the forums to keep track.

[mrpants20]

The battery tweaks. I know theres a few cabs, and reg edits on here that improve battery life. I was wondering if anyone had more success with some versus others in increasing battery life.

[tlpalmer01]

other than the battery...the rom is great...very fast and pleasing to the eye

no comment haahahahahhaahaha

sweet cant wait to hear what you say after you put it through hell ( i think haha)

[PsyChoTk]

After about 10 hours, I like it. The visual clarity of the entire rom is great. It just looks good. Its faster than the warhawk rom. I havent had time to test the battery life, but at this point I dont care.
With warhark, I was not able to change the manila icons with GenY panorama. The stock icons blended into the pano pic. The stock icons on this rom standout with the pano background and you dont have to hunt for the tab you need.

[Paiyne]

I was just wondering if anyone had installed cmylxgo's pimp package? I know it said that it wouldn't work on build 8/6 or later. I'm not sure if this rom fits in that category.

another one? ugggg i just flashed too :sad: i guess i will flash than get my email and contacts synced and than go to bed and set it up in the morning.

[gbogart100]

Been running this ROM (9/6 build) for a little over 24hrs now and the ROM is soooo smooth and stable (so far) One of the smoothest ROMs I have run. The only problem is the battery life is horrible for me before adding any battery life tweaks. I had a 45 min phone call last night and the battery drained from 80% to 15%....Love the look and feel of the ROM, but I'll have to flash to something else soon if I cant find a way to get my phone through the day.

--------- New Post Merged on 7/9/2009 at 01:45:18 --------

I also don't like the file explorer, because it's small and hard to use and I dont like switching over to the big icons all the time.

I'm with you on this rom. I really like it. it's going to be hard to get along with my TP2 until the unloacker is released. i haven't had a problem with the battery life. have you turned the brightness down? it is set to 100% by default. also there is some stuff/ customizations that turn on the data connection and runs automaticly. i know the push pages does this on my TP, eventhough i set up the push pages, it connects to the net automaticly. had to edit the pages and turn off the auto connect. also did you have a fully charged battery?

i installed the resco file explorer. touch commander is good for moving manila files but for everyday use i use resco, it had touch optimaztion which is great for not using the stylus.

[D/\SH]

so far today i have put the newest build on mine from last night also and i love it.... the fluidity and the colors/style of the rom is great. i havent faced any compatibility issues, lags, freezes, needs for soft resets, troubles, glitches or anything thus far. imo this is the best on battery life of all the nrgz roms that i have ran since he started building for cdma devices...... im very impressed with this rom and the way thta it runs..... i have been inb the flashing frenzy lately also and tried out many different roms but for some reason i always have been coming back to nrgz for the extras and the flash over the other roms i do like per instance nfsfan........ for titanium only you cant get me off of the goku gss rom but for touchflo 3d 2.1 this is the way to go for sure.

[D/\SH]

got the first post updated so nobody would be confused and download the version without the new fixes...

Yeah, I'm using Lumos right now for the backlight issues and that has helped out my battery issues a little. I took my phone out of the charger at 7hrs ago and after light texting and 15 min in phone calls I'm at 60% battery life. I'm running Sprint stock radio 1.12. I'll have to wait and see how the phone handles in terms of battery life after a day of heavy use, but aside from the battery this ROM is amazing. I'll try updating the PRL like Dashy suggested and see if that helps.

Talked to CMYLXGO over at PPCGeeks and he is planning to make a new pimp package for the new build.

I noticed a significant battery drain with radio v 1.12.

I went back to radio v 1.11 and so far it has the best battery life/ phone preformance, etc. at least for central florida.

Actually this stock radio has worked well for me. I was running the Telus 1.07 radio and have actually had a better signal in my house with Sprint's 1.12.

[zugster72]

What's good? I'm tring the ROM now day 1 so far so good . I flashed over from the SSS rom 209. A big fan. I'll give you guys a heads up later in the week.

What do you want to know how to use on it. One of those apps you just have to play with setting really cant mess up your phone to bad as long as you remember you old setting.

[meansixx]

i must say, this rom is hot, no issues at all. great battery life also, i too flashed from SSS rom, but love this one alot better.
