It's a lot to take in if you've never had the pleasure of owning a WM device, so there's really no reason to get ahead of yourself.

The stock ROM on the tp2 is much better than stock on previous phones and i'm sure most of us here would agree. Custom ROMs will bring you newer versions of TouchFLO/Sense and WM 6.5 (if your device doesn't already have it). I recommend Juicy's ROM. NRG'S ROM is nice, but i've had low memory issues with it (prob cause of all the great things he puts in it). Never really been a fan of Mighty, but a lot of people here seem to love it. There are arelso different ROMs for 6.5 and 6.5.3... the latter being less stable, but more finger friendly.

When you flash, you will probably flash all the popular ROMs anyway, as they are all very good and have different things to offer the user. Have fun and make sure you use the correct unlocker and flash correct ROMs depending on your device being cdma or gsm. I can't tell you how many people i've seen who have permanantly or termporarily bricked their device because they jumped into flashing before they soaked up all the information out there.

mighty mikes rom are closest to stock!! nrg roms are cutting edge oems!!

Thanks!

Yeah, I wasn't planning on doing any flashing of ROMs anytime soon until I'm more confident I know more of the ropes

I'm coming from AT&T's Q9h and I customized that one to the fullest with reg edits/tweaks/hacks wallpapers, etc. With this new Tilt 2 I was a little more overwhelmed but catching up quick here

Side note... I kinda like the TF3D 2.1 setup it came with and I haven't disabled it yet to check out the default/standard setup, so I might do that today and see how well that goes.

Anywho, thanks again everyone and I'm sure I'll be posting again rather soon!
