I need some advice and help in deciding what rom to get for my tp2 verizon. i am using stock now and it's unlocked. Things for me are hard to understand with a small learning disability and also there's just so many roms to choose from.

I surf www, text a little, but not much and check weather on it. I'd like to do other stuff too, like stream music and video and photo from local pc to my tp2 and stream music from home to my tp2 when out and about and maybe download video and watch with something that has codecs for everything that's free. I have used MS Bing for gps just to see what it was like and it's kinda neat. I don't play games.

I would like to try only stable, fast/smooth UI please. I'd rather not have to install anything extra to make it work, but if that is necessary then ok cool. I think the HTC Hero Sense UI is kinda neat. I've seen a few pics of other roms with Sense UI, but it doesn't look anything like the Hero Sense UI so I don't know how it can be called Sense UI. I've heard of something called Manilla 2.1 and 2.5. I don't know what that is. TouchFlo 3D I've heard was renamed to Sense UI, but I've not seen this from HTC themselves and it doesn't look anything like the UI on the Hero. I would like Windows Mobile 6.5.1 or later if possible, but 6.5 if that's the only one or bug free then ok too. If the rom comes with some extra apps that's cool.

I don't do mms and won't be using the camera much. Maybe once in a while. I'd also like to be able to put back on my tp2 the original stock rom with it being locked if I need to return it to Verizon for warranty or anything. I think I've got relocker locally here, but forget where I put it and I don't know if I have a stock verizon rom.

I really appreciate it guys. Me doing this is also maybe going to help me keep this phone over the Samsung Omnia 2 which I got on Tuesday Dec 2. I'm still deciding. There's just some stuff I don't like about the O2 and I like my TP2 in some ways. Also I don't know if O2 roms will happen. Plus I'm always wanting to donate for a great find.

Anyway thanks a lot guys and I really really truly appreciate you all.
