Here’s what’s on the menu today…
Today I’m serving up an HTC Touch Pro 2 CDMA ROM, based on Windows Mobile 6.5. The current build number and date can be seen in the title of the thread.
I build my ROMs with four main goals.
- Eye candy
- 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, 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. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that’s ready out of the ‘box’.
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 also provide an example script to use to save your email settings in one of the posts below.
You will find TWO core versions of my ROM.
- The 21889 Build is from the OEM COM2 Tree and is the most reliable and bug free release. I recommend you start with this first!
And…
- The 23518 Build that’s the latest in the 6.5.3 series with the Start/Close buttons at the bottom. These builds are not as compatible with older apps as 21885 but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft.

GPS Doesn’t Connect
After flashing any ROM, GPS can take a while to lock for the first time.
Enable AGPS to assist it: Start -> Utilities -> Tweaks -> Advanced Config, scroll down to and click GPS, then click on Assisted GPS, and using the drop-down menu at the bottom, Enable it. Do the Soft Reset when it prompts you to, and then your GPS should fix faster!
Also, make sure to use the HTC GPSTool, found in Start -> GPS. That will help the GPS to lock faster.
Once you do that, open Google Maps (Or your GPS program), go to Menu -> Use GPS (check the option), and then let your phone sit for 10 minutes or so. Remember, GPS doesn’t work well in big buildings. Enjoy!
Marketplace doesn’t work (Sprint) – Just install THIS CAB! (Restart may be required) (Thanks BrownHornet!)
