Welcome to my kitchen!
Here’s what’s on the menu today… 
This is an HTC CDMA Raphael/Herman 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 4 versions of the 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
- “Standard_RD” includes all of the above but with the Regular Dialer (HTC)
- “Titanium” only includes the Titanium today plugin. No Manila in this version. This also includes the regular HTC dialer
- “OldManila” includes the older TF3D Manila (as seen on a stock ROM), plus Titanium. This also includes the regular HTC dialer

- Open the Phone App and click Menu>Options.
- Click the Service tab and scroll down to Time Synchronization, highlight and click Get Settings…
- Uncheck the Time Synchronize with Mobile network automatically and click OK.
- Now open World Clock and manually adjust the time to the correct hour and click Done.
The settings should hold through soft resets and opening of the clock app.

2. For those who do not like the TD3D2 messaging and want to use the old WM interface Kryzsiec’s post might do the trick or download the CAB here. (Thanks Maxx134) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/attachment…5&d=1244246745 This is if you want to tap on the SMS screen in TF3D2 and the old WM interface will open allowing you to type immediately vs having to click in the box again to start typing.
3. MORE MMS Limit tweak by: Pumpiron579
HLKM/Software/ArcSoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/ mmscsetting/Sample MMS Change all the values to 1024000 or 1228800 that way you can send 1mb or 1.2mb files over MMS.
Then Change;
HLKM/Software/ArcSoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/ UI/size Limit
Then set the SendDefault and/or RecvDefault to a value of your choosing. I set all mine to 1228800.

6. VZW USERS: as for vzw guys as per usual, remove the phone dialer skin, lower the pagepool to 8 mb, and at boot for the standard rom you shouldn’t leave above 79% (Thanks Noir)
FAQs:
1. It’s a great ROM, but can anyone tell me how to active the Titanium view?
at10ti0n: start -> settings -> today -> Items tab -> check “windows default”, uncheck TouchFLo 3d
2. I downsized my start menu, and now it looks great and is even more user friendly. Now if I can just get File Explorer on the start menu with a better looking icon…
at10ti0n: Another thing you may want to look for it the “re/Start” program. it is floating int the forum somewhere. I cleaned up my menu and it helps to re-prioritize the items in the main window. I only wish I could change the sub/sub folders. HERE
3. I’m absolutely hating new TF3D scrolling currently. The icons when u scroll, are just too low, its too near your thumb. Is there a way, perhaps a manilla file replacement, that can put it back up a lil higher, as it was in the OLD TF3D? Shep was able to do it, but shep doesnt really reply questions : / also if it helps, showaco’s all tabs pictures cab, does solve it, making it higher. however, scrolling TF3D with showaco installed in landscaped is screwed, being off centre to the right any solutions?
gjakovic: TRY THIS
4. Can I return the start menu icons to three in a row?How?And could you return the phone.exe icon in start menu?
NRGZ: HERE
5. Is there a cab floating around for a “Fave People” entry on the 6.5 Start screen?
BigBadger: Look here: 6.5 PLUGINS!
6. What happened to my keyboard? If you go into the start menu, tweaks folder and use the keyboard selector.. your keboard will not function properly until you go back in select the touch pro and soft-reset. The keyboard works as default, but if you touch the setting it will not.
======================================
For everyone: words of thought from the experts!
“A general rule if you don’t see your unique problem mentioned anywhere in this thread, chances are you’re the only one with the problem and YOU did something to cause it.
======================================
“Please remember folks that there are a lot of variables here and the ROM is just one of them. You may have any number of the following issues:
1) a bad flash
2) an incompatibility issue
3) a settings problem
If several people all determine that they have done XYZ and have problem ABC it may be that NRGZ can do something about it. Until such time, you have some troubleshooting to do. Namely;
1) Flash the stock ROM and spend a few days noting the behavior as you add your software
2) Flash an NRGZ ROM and use it a few days without adding software
3) start adding software until the problem occurs.” ..BigBadger

Just bought a touch pro with energyrom 3.0 already installed from someone on ebay. I need to find out how to program phone (change mdn number etc to link up my service to it) please advise?!
Hey I just caught your comment. I am not sure of the top of my head on the exact procedure necessary but I can look into it for you and have some results tomorrow.
I have tried the most current energy rom upgrade and a couple of the older ones and none of them will intall. they start, show 0% and then just error out. I have a basic AT&T fuze and cant understand why it wont work?
Jason:
I’m in the exact position, I downloaded the Phoenix v.2 and it wouldn’t start either. I then downloaded another rom that was Pheonix 2 and it worked, I forget what HTC phone I downloaded it for, I have the HTC Touch Pro CDMA (Alltel/Verizon). I have MightyRom 6 on there now, if you haven’t tried mightyrom, try it. http://www.mightyrom.com
