[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
If your flashing from one stock or shipped rom to another you don't need USPL or HSPL. But if your flashing a cooked rom, you can use this guide

List of available shipped roms can be found here. Would recommend starting with latest OrangeUK_HTCTouchHD_1.59.61.2_Radio_52.64.25.34_1. 14.25.24_Ship_phone_software

Are there any android 2.0 roms avialable or on the way for the magic?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 99048907:
Hi everyone,

I replaced my LCD screen and digitizer at the weekend and am now having a few problems. The battery is draining really quickly, in about 30mins. Could this be due to a non oem screen or something? (got mine off ebay)

I am also having a few issues with the power button, there was a small amount of tape in place but im unsure if this should go below the switch or above. To prevent the circuit board switch from shorting or something?

Any help appreciated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ivanmatz:
how much did you paid for digitizer?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 99048907:
well I got an LCD with digitizer attached for $43
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Petesky:
I'm needing the same, how difficult was it to put back together,

taking it apart isnt a problem but theres that many parts I'm not sure if I could put it back together correctly
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] SyNcViEw:
Can you tell me how many different variants of the LCD are used in the Diamond? or there is just ONE LCD w/ digitizer..? And from where can I get them for a good price?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 99048907:
Well to be honest, I have only had problems since I changed mine and the phone is now unusable. Its quite easy to put back together, but it seems really easy to create shorts that cause problems and I think the quality of the LCD I bought is far below that of standard and is using lots of power.

Have ordered another screen from somewhere else and will try that but think I will get a leo next week as then im due an upgrade :rolleyes:

Would still appreciate some help with my original questions?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diablob:
I bought on ebay both/LCD+touch screen/. Price is fine 36US dollars. When you buy only on of this you have problem with right connection between LCD and touch screen. Picture have little contrast but not tragically. Battery draining is same. Touch screen is more sensitive than original.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] naytinger:
changed lcd and gps doesnt work

hello everbody..

i changed lcd my diamond and gps doesnt work. what does it mean. please help me...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] diablob:
Maybe is problem with correct connect gps antenna to connector on board.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 99048907:
To update this I bought a new screen with digitizer from a US company and replaced the board that connects to the microphone and now more Diamond is as good as new.

Screen is as original and excellent quality

:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ivanmatz:
Oh that high. A friend of mine got it for $27
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] p.brazauskas:
Thats great, the battery drainage fixed? If all worked you should post where and for how much you bought it. So other people in need would know ;)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 4D3:
Hi,

my screen today has just started displaying loads of lines over it, i have tryed flashing but the lines stay, there is even a ghost of the Win Mobile Lock screen symbol.

Is the screen broken?

please can you post where you got your working screen from as i think i need to buy one!!

thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] samy.3660:
Was your screen original from HTC or you have replaced it before??
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 4D3:
Hi,

screen is original.

what happened was, i enabled win mobile autolock, and then i kinda had a fit. It was turning the screen on and off for about 1 second each time, i thought it would stop so i waited about 40 seconds, then hit the reset button.

when the phone reset it still had an "imprint" of the windows mobile lock screen on the screen, as if it had "burnt" all the white areas onto the screen.

I tryed to screenshot it, but it didnt show in a screenshot so i presumed the screen was wrecked.

I have left my phone without battery overnight and it SEEMS to have sorted itself out, but im not sure!

Thanks in advance

MG
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] 99048907:
Thought this was fixed but the battery drainage is still huge. The phone is now constantly hot, so have stopped using it. I have dismantled the phone countless times now as I thought there may be a short circuit but with no fix.

When I posted originally the battery was on 85% after 4 hours but then the next time I turned the screen on it was on 1%.

Its annoying as I loved my Diamond but now I just feel angry when I see it on my desk. Using an old moto flip phone at the moment which I hate, untill some shops get the leo back in stock. Tempted by the n900 also, any thoughts?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] cutepurpledinosaur:
Hi,

I will change my Diamond's screen. Did you buy it online? If so, would you please send a link of the LCD w/ Digitizer that you bought. Thanks in advance

I don`t know some peoples already say about the new Opera 10 its nothing more than all other versions but i don`t think so.

1st when i install on my HD this beta i saw its much more faster than the 9.7 or 9.5 Also the view of the pages is much more better and clear and all the menus of the opera are just fast and awsome.

On the same time i just test for how long will load a page.

For example i choice a random page and i use Opera 9.5 then use Opera 10 for the same page in the same internet connection and i can say that this 10 BETA is minimum 3 times faster than the old Opera.

The Only bad things is that still not have a full Flash support but soon this will be fixed and then we will have a awsome fast beauty Browser for our devices

Cheeersssss

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] RaymondScrott:
Looks good. particularly management of bookmarks. Zoom seems more controlled
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PelloG:
why is the g-sensor to switch the view-modes not working?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ogredani:
Not working for me either. I shouldn't need to install changescreen.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] buzz83:
I've been using changescreenconfig to control my g-sensor apps. Works fine with opera 10.

Now I just need to find a way to make the zoom bar work on my TP2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Ogredani:
I know. I had it installed before but the apps in Dutty's ROM didn't require changescreen so I didn't bother to install it. Seems I have to now, though. :)

Does anyone know how to sync the bookmarks in Manila with those in Opera 10? I currently have two sets of bookmarks now, one in Manila for the Favourite Shortcuts and those in Opera.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] kenang83:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] hesian:
Mine became the default browser when I installed it to main memory. Landscape working. Best browser ever!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MAMeingast:
+1

It's still a bit buggy - but this will definitely be the best browser ever when the first non-beta is released!!!

I'm just wondering why Opera Mobile is still (alot) slower than Opera Mini, although both use server-side compression!? With Opera Mini, browsing the web is so incredibly fast! :eek:

Currently all the hebrew sites I entered displayed the text backwards :(

Btw, I have the RTL checkbox checked (under opera:config)

Thanks!

Wich one works best on the HD2? In portrait and Landscape mode.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Timossss:
in my opinion the Touch Pal keyboard in both modes. With the less sensitive cab in addition i write igual as with a hardware keyboard - finally.

I'm going to stick with SPB, much easier typing on HD2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] eskasi:
I am still waiting for my HD2 but on my Diamond 2, fingerkeyboard seems far more accurate and simpler to use than Touchpal. Having said that, I am quite impressed by the Touchpal keyboard and perhaps a larger screen will make it more friendly to use.

I need to get used to swiping... that may be my main issue....

Anyone here know how you can remap keys? That was something I really like about fingerkeyboard. being able to remap keys so I dont have to go into alternative layouts, hit shift, etc to get the stuff I use 99% of the time... all my smileys, ".com", and even "..." were on that one layout.... seemed much faster IMHO... If I could do that with Touchpal and swipe down to get smileys etc instead of swiping to get a different set of symbols, I would be a happy camper!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
maybe you should try SlideIT. You can find it here: http://www.mobiletextinput.com/

IMO its even better than FK
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ghale:
I use Touchpal, and I've written an editor for the user dictionary.

It was developed on a QVGA device, but I've seen that it works quite good on WVGA and then on HD2.

I've released it for free on this forum, also.

3. Click "Activate..." to bring up "TouchPal Activation" dialog.

I always use the 'compact qwerty', it works better then the original qwerty so think i.

But, still i think that the original qwerty from the iphone better works.

That qwerty from the iphone has some spaces between the marks.

Is that possible to make here on xda?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] waza123:
Yes iPhone qwerty touch screen keyboard is the best keyboard I ever use. It's very accurate, you can't press two keys at same time like in WM. It's like, when you press on key, the radius of invis button is increasing, so if you touch other buttons around, thny not triggered.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Philhellene:
Touch Pal freezing and cannot see how to Activate

I have the Me Card filled in under People, which covers the Owner information requirement but the instructions to get to where to enter the registration code does not work on the HD2. At the moment CooTek are unable to solve this.

I was premature in wanting to register as the programme currently freezes when the phone comes out of standby and I cannot choose any other keyboard until I soft reset the phone.

I have Touch Pal installed in main memory.

Any ideas folks?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hitchi:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Straynart:
Touch Pal rules !

For me, TouchPal is the best.

Simple, without buttons which are not really needed.

Large, thanks to the only main buttons remaining [letters only on the main keyboard, there are some keyboard which are usable].

Fast, no shift key needed, record templates, digit key on the same letters keyboard, ponctuation on the same letters keyboard.

Simply the best for me.

+1 How do we make it the default keboard??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rambo12345:
you need sipchange (attached)

How to use:

1. Copy the attached CAB to your device

2. Tap on the cab using file manager to install.

Now open SIPChange by tapping Start->Programs->SIPChange. You will be presented with a list of your available SIPs. Highlight the one you want to become the defaultIM. Now tap the "Select" button. The SIP will be changed to your selection and SIPChange will close.

That's it! The next time you (or your automatic nightly backup) resets your device, the default SIP will be reset to your choice.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rexboy:
I was a dedicated Touchpal fan, still am (even though i prefer 3.5 layout vs 4.0) but after reading about swype, i gave it a go. It appears the ported version we are running from the Omnia is less all the features but still works great.

Also tried Shapewriter and slideit. Still undecided, Swype definitely looks better and seems to learn words in a smarter way but in some ways slideit is faster. There is that minor pause after each word with swype to see if it got it correct. It doesnt seem as noticeable with slideit. Just my 2cents worth.

Anyone else tried slideit or shapewriter vs swype.

Read other forums but didnt really reveal much.

The best keyboard for the hd2 is the htc stock keyboard, workes very good for me, and in landscape mode is super easy to type.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mirroalex:
Touchpal and HTC keyboard they are the best!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] shthpnz:
I can't get Touchpal do that either. It does not communicate with other apps in the HD2. It is a pity, but for SMS enhancements you have to switch temporarily to the HTC input.

That aside, Touchpal is OK.
