The mighty rom is the one I use and love it. You just have to see and try it yourself.

Dude ROMs are all about personal preference. Just try a few and see what you like best. There is a whole thread about what radio to use based on location. Basically you want either the newest sprint radio or the latest telus one.

Mighty Rom

Read about Radios here

Basically radios are something you have to try for yourself as they are area dependent.

Oh but seriously read around a little bit then start asking questions. If you looked in this forum you would see both Mighty Rom and the radio thread. Best of luck with your new toy.

Thanks for the tips and link guys. I have been reading. just another question, it doesnt specify if the rom is for sprint or telus. Does it matter?

So for example does this http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=38999
work with my sprint service? It says MightRom 4.6
And it will work with my Diamond? I already have Hard-SPL 0.57 installed.

Thanks again

Some ROMs are carrier dependent. All radios are area dependent.

If you want to know the best ROM for you, start with what seems to work for most others. If you want to know what seems to work for most others, check forum activity. A quick scan of the forum topics for heaviest activity will reveal Groove and Mighty as having the most popular Diamond ROMs... but dig deeper if you like.

Sometimes the only way to tell the usability of a ROM is to install it.

ahhh, thanks for point me to the Thanks button. lol did not even pay attention to it. Just thought when i said thanks here that will be enough. lol

so after i install the new ROM, do i have to install a new radio? or can i just keep using the one that came iwth the phone>?? after i install a new ROM, do i have to hard reset or just start using the phone? if i hard reset, doesnt it just erase everything? Ok thanks
