Anyone put custom ROM's on their HD2's?

Finally took the time to install one, I'm really liking it. Managed to import my gmail contacts, am pretty happy with it so far. I used Kumar's HD2 premium.

yes, I flash frequently. I used kumars for awhile, its solid. I am using Energy at the moment, I really like the look of this rom, although it is killer on battery. Miri is decent too.

Just installed the 12.5 radio, curious to see if it improves battery life...

I haven't used the stock ROM on my HD2 since about a week after I bought it (I'm actually on my third HD2 now, but that's mostly accurate). I probably flash once or twice a week on average...usually Energy.

I'd be interested in knowing that too.

I'm currently using 10.5, which is a nice improvement over the stock 8.5 for me. I'm still using the stock 2.13.531.1 ROM.

Any specific reason you guys are going a specific custom? I haven't explored the ROMs much.

I just have cookie hometab, bsbtweaks, battclock and I'm pretty happy so far.

Custom ROMs have a lot of that kind of stuff built in, they're generally smoother/more stable/less crap preinstalled than the stock ROM. They're also built from newer versions of the WinMo build.

For me, the biggest reason to use a custom ROM is to get WinMo 6.5.5. I don't use Sense, and the stock applications in 6.5.x are a lot better than regular 6.5, plus there are some nice things like bigger soft keys, threaded email, etc.
