[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Niekzb:
hey, i just installed the Pdaimatejam ROM with mango and everything is really smooth, however, Whatsapp is really slow. From the homescreen it takes almost 10 seconds to go to chats and then into a chat another 5 seconds. Is there a fix for this or is this normal? All other apps are fast and smooth..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Tak3r07:
The app is not well developed. This has nothing to do with the rom. I had the same experiences on other WP7 Roms.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Sneakyghost:
yeah i had the same impression it is just crappy software somehow. I used it a lot on Android the past few months and its always a bit on the slow side.

I just saw skype for WP7 being released as a beta and it is already working really slick. No compare. That's how software should be.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Kevtronimus:
Hey, seems to be problem with whatsapp itself. switched to WP Mango yesterday (from hyperdroid) and am pissed when comparing whatsapp with the android version.

But I have another Question: Mail accounts on my leo piss me off. everything is synced well. googlemail starts...but somehow i cant really navigate through the mails. cant even use the search button because the keyboard starts off a life of its own? ghosts typing? :D i cannot explain why its the way it is. same problem with yahoo account. seems to be a problem of the mail application.

I go with this rom 9.Marc HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.5 >FULLY UNLOCKED

everything else works like a charm, but no freedom with the mail application... anybody experienced similar problems with haunting ghoists in ther mail app? :D

Whatsapp developers dont care about wp users!!

i have the same experience too,:(

i was on Android using the x10 mini pro and whatsapp was normal to fast and very responsive.

i switched to wp7.5 Lumia 710 the OS is supper fast :eek:, faster than any Android i ever seen (i used lot of devices htc desire s, HD, sensation XE, evo 3d,Samsung GS1 & GS2, sony ericson Neo, arc & arc s), but whatsapp was very f***g :mad: experience.

BTW WP is not mature yet but it's really the best OS i ever used, Fast (always), Easy, Powerful, and it never crash, even faster than iOS.

i hope wp8 will have all the missing futures, I don't care about market app numbers , neither about what some fans says against wp, i have all what i want integrated into my OS.

and i hope the big developer like autodesk, adobe .... who focus just on iOS to look at wp......
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Tenpin:
It's a shame really, I came from android and whatsapp was superfast on that.. But on this it is an absolute nightmare. Takes centuries to load up! Although everything else is butter smooth. The whatsapp devs need to put some elbow grease into it..

Are there any ICS tweaks out there ?

Like adrenaline boost or V6 supercharger ?

Compatible with ICS tho ?

ICS Rom

Hey, I'm using the same rom as you on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo from the AOSP ICS forum.

I recently noticed that when I called someone, I was unable to end the call.:(

I just wanted to ask whether you have experienced the same problem and is there any way to fix this bug?

Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
For what reason? Something really wrong with ICS? Need to make faster phone calls?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
You use your phone only for calls?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
Not exactly, I prefer useability, reliablity, functionality - for some reason OP needs real or imaginary phone speed for something. No idea what. Texting? Reading a web page?

Might be worth remembering that ICS is very much a Beta... nuff said.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Not all modifications will sacrifice battery life ;)

Of course, I agree with you that if you fill your phone with amount of modifications, you will most likely kill/suffocate it. Thin is the line you are walking on when applying modifications.

Same with cars, yes entire company works on them to make them best as possible. That doesn't mean people/users can make them better. They use it more than testers in that company, realize their flaws, and improve them.

For example, I don't care about speed, don't care about games, don't care about points in benchmarks. I do care about multitasking and not killing app's in ram, for example opera mobile. Open few tabs, minimize it, open another app do something there, go back to OM and most likely it will reloading your tabs. I hate that :)

And I believe there is some modifications which will help for better multitasking, which won't kill battery more than it do opening all tabs again :), as it will only force it to stay in memory, sort of like we do to force launcher in memory :)

Just my 2 cents ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodlikePL:
Dear XDA forum members since there are fully unlocked roms for wp7 devices then You should make a call recording app which is very useful on Windows Mobile.

Any plans of making it?

Regards
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The way WP7 does calls might make such an app somewhat more difficult, though I believe it could be done anyhow. There aren't many people developing apps exclusively for fully unlocked WP7, though. However, the tools are freely available; maybe you could give it a shot?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GodlikePL:
Im PHP developer currenty working in Poland and England. I have medium level knowledge about C# but I never developed app on WP7 so i can't help you much. Second problem is no money for making homebrew apps (i earn much on PHP sites). Just gave You an idea.

There are many apps on Windows Mobile which can do that but one of last limitations of WP7 is no call recording, we already have USB Mode, Bluetooth file transfers, Spycams and many more useful apps. Im counting on microsoft but no info about including that kind of app in future releases of WP7 (WP8 maybe? First gen available?). WP7 Root tools 0.9 trusted access is last barrier to do some really 'rooted' apps?

I really appreciate Your work on custom roms and homebrew apps. Thanks for all You've done. 3-4 months more and we'll have Windows Mobile 7.5 ;)

[HTC Wildfire S] Dolphin2:
I have rooted my wildfire s and I deleted the sense 2.1 lock screen, ending up with the froyo lock screen which I do not like. I also want to unroot my device possibly. I tried a lot of times to install the sense 2.1 lock screen back into the system but it never works.

So, if I just revert back to the stock rom I will get it back and unroot my wildfire s. It doesn't matter to me weather it gets unroot or not. I'm just looking for the Wildfire S stock rom. I'm with Bell Canada btw. Thanks

Hi

I have been running ARHD 4.1.13 for about 6-8 weeks and seeing as o2 or HTC send out updates for stock ROMS I was wondering if nonstock ROMS had updates available?
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Just to check, you'd like to know whether custom ROM's have been updated to new versions sent out by HTC or your provider?

If so, I don't think so.

Edit: I assumed you meant Gingerbread ROM's, otherwise Moon2 is right. There has been ICS ROM's released.
[HTC Sensation] Moon2:
There have been many updates since then, the 6.4.0 series of ARHD is now based on leaked htc ice cream sandwich roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Does anyone know how to restore the user dictionary when going from Android Keyboard 2.3.5 to Android Keyboard 2.3.6? I'm assuming the version difference is what is causing my problems. I usually do it by using MyBackup Pro, however it doesn't seem to be working this time. Titanium Backup says it's installed as "[USER DICT] User Dictionary 2.3.5", but I'm guessing it's unseeable by 2.3.6? I've also tried using the Market app called User Dictionary Manager, but I need the user_dict.db file from one of my backups I would imagine. But I can't figure out how to extract that from either MyBackup Pro or Titanium Backup. Is there an easy way to do this that I don't know about? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Hey plwalsh, try checking the default language in your device settings. It's possible that the ROM you just flashed has it set to Canadian English while all of your saved words are in U.S. English. Hope that helps!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
Thanks 88! That did the trick. You sound to be quite the smart man ;) Figured it out after saving a new word and checking the SQL database and seeing it marked as "en-CA".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Saving this in case the list get's big and updating.

I just bought Tasker yesterday, and boy, is it great. I had it on my Nook in December/January but I never really took the time to figure it out, but after reading some threads here on XDA, I finally understand it.

I like:

riptide gp(thanks for suggestion)

shadowgun

dead space

turbofly 3d

backstab hd

pretty bada$$ games but very large in size. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
No problem. Riptide GP is really fun :)

I last played Backstab HD on my Nook Color; it has a really good storyline, but how does it look good on our Super AMOLED screens?

I'll also have to check on the three in between. I tried Dead Space when I had my iPhone 4 but I could never seriously game on the iOS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeenNotScene:
I'm really enjoying games that I can play using the S-Pen, like Plants vs Zombies or Sentinel 3. Playing classics on emulators is my favorite though, playing Star Fox 64, the first Resident Evil, and Twisted Metal 2 at the moment :D

Do any of you have a gamepad/controller that you prefer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Get the classic Nintendo controllor. They conneccr by Bluetooth, but you need root. They also only work for emulators.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SeenNotScene:
I'd really like something with an analog, tried using my ps3 controller via the sixaxis app and that worked well most of the time, but no analog support yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
Backstab looks pretty good, but so far dead space and shadowgun are the two best looking ones to me, not too happy about their size, some of them range from 500+mb to 800+mb additional download to play the game, but I can understand from the graphics quality that it would be that large.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Google Maps has always been a reliable application. I used to go to other alternatives, but the free navigation on Android is incredible.

My new apps:

ES File Explorer

- great file explorer. It can be a root explorer if you have root access.

Andy-83

Unmentioned Apps

Thought I'd add some additional apps that I didn't see listed that I find useful. Some of these may be dups that I overlooked in somebody elses list.

Barcode Scanner - Or any variant there of

AndFTP - OK ftp client

Android Assistant - Nice bundled features like task killer, ccleaner, backup, startup manager, etc.

ConvertPad - Nice unit converter

Google Docs

Google Reader - One of the more stable feed readers that also has categories/folders

GTasks - Nice task/todo manager that is google tasks syncable

Tasks+ also nice task/todo manager with better recurrence options and subtasks.

LBE Privacy Guard - imo an awesome monitor for data usage as well as a firewall for individual application permissions (requires root).

Myfitnesspal - Nice weight/exercise app.

MyAppsList - Creates a list of installed apps for backup purposes

OurGroceries - Nice syncable grocery list app that my wife and I use

Parcels - Package tracking

SketchBook Mobile - Awesome drawing app that really shines with the S Pen

Shush! - Ringer restore app for when I forget to turn my ringer back on. Can't live without this

Tango - Decent video chat that uses phone number instead of login. For when Skype doesn't work. Though I just use gtalk since I modified the db to exclude wifi only. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1063767

Springpad - Syncable note taking app that also has browser plugins

StudyDroid - Flash Cards with hundreds available/syncable online.

customization apps - NOLED

i neglected to mention that i've got a few apps the pretty things up! Beautiful widgets, fancy widgets and mulitcon come to mind.

also, in other news, i got NOLED to work with lockmenu! i forgot to enable NOLED in the accessibility section. Seems to be a bit of a battery hog. i went from over seventeen hours on a charge, to under five. i'll see if i can get it to improve, with some tweaking.

Apps I Use the Most

No Lock - Just learned about this app on this forum - awesome

Netflix

Draw Free

isyncr - works great to sync iTunes

isyncr wifi

Rocket player - plays nice with isyncr and will play Apple Lossless

Remote for iTunes - control your iTunes library on your computer remotely over wifi (Audiogalaxy is also a good program to stream directly to your phone music that is on your computer from anywhere as long as your computer is on.)

ATT Visual Voice Mail - this works well though you may have to contact ATT to get it working on your account. I thought ATT messaging was a winner but it get crashing so I switched to Visual Voice Mail.

Springpad

Fancy Widgets

Launcher Pro Plus - been using this for years and it works well on the Note. I put all my shortcuts in the dock and have just one Home Screen.

DGT GTD - my favorite todo (I've tried many) syncs with Toodledo

So i heard if you put your phone on cdma only it will save some battery because is not looking for both signals "dual mode" I believe. Is there a way to put LTE only so my phone don't have to look for 3G signal and maybe save some juice?

Only if you want battery drain. Imho there isn't a phone on the market that comes stock aside from the Maxx that is viable to run LTE only for any extended period of time. The hardware technology hasn't matured enough to keep up with the resource drain LTE uses. I rarely ever have it turned on myself.
[HTC Rezound] mike.s:
If there were, it would no longer be a phone. Currently, on Verizon, LTE is data only. All calls go over the CDMA side.
[HTC Rezound] taptaptouch:
If you did that, you wouldn't get any phone service either
[HTC Rezound] SteveG12543:
I swear there was a setting for LTE only. I believe I came across it once while messing around with some settings trying to get 4G back, before I found out it was a outage lol... It bumped me off of 3G and put me on 1X.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
There is a setting that is CDMA+LTE only. So you get calls and texts over 1X and have 4G, but if your 4G drops you go to 1X. However, that is how the phone works even with 3G turned on so there are no battery savings.
[HTC Rezound] bjmjpl:
if you set it for 3g only does that save on battery and how do you do that exactly?
[HTC Rezound] FabianaS:
You can actually do it two ways under settings go to power-power mode- and choose normal performace(instead of high) OR under settings- wireless & networks- mobile network settings- network mode and choose cdma only!
