First I couldn't find Titan_No2Chem_5060_WM6.1 it wasn't listed in BuildOS. I ended up using WM6.1_96DPI_QVGA_20755_0409.

Is the No2Chem build faster? The phone now seems slow at times and the only problem I have is that I can no longer connect to wifi and both yahoo and live messenger say that my account isn't valid. I do have data access and I verified that all the M.IP and M.IP defaul settings are correct.

Last question is how do I update to a newer virsion of ROM for the radio? The file format is .nbh so I'm guessing there is a loader that I need? I just found the answer for this one. Trying it now.

Almost forgot, I have seen references to DCD ROMS. What is the difference?

Thanks again!

I personally think DCD's are a little better because of the fact they are extremely clean. No extra software, just what you need to make the phone work. You can then custom install whatever apps you have via .cab files.

His previous version 3.2.6 has a kitchen that you can also use to customize the phone if you like. His latest tho 3.3.4 has no kitchen, so you have to flash it and then load everything via .cab files.

Not all of the OEM files from PPCGeeks work tho, so you will have to trial and error them to get the ones you want. Anything that doesn't work, there most likely is a version in .cab format tho that you can use.

I like No2Chem's roms too, don't get me wrong, but he makes some major changes to the OS and while most are for the best, I tend to think his roms run a bit slower, tho have more memory available on them.

So if speed is your preference, use DCD's, if you need a lot more memory, then No2Chem's with the camera disabled gives you the absolute most memory available of any rom.

DCD's are extremely stable as well, especially if you can get by with only installing the apps you absolutely must have, leaving it minimally loaded can let me phone run for weeks without needing a restart. No2Chem's and DCD's that are loaded down with a ton of programs tend to need a reboot every day or two.

Just my opinion, I'm sure other's will disagree, but I've done a lot of flashing trying to find a stable phone, and I keep going back to DCD's roms.
