[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Not at all, it's fully compatible. The point is, this is just a totally rotten radio ROM. :D

Catastrophic reception, device freezing while phoning, old-fashion modem-like noise bursting in your ear instead of your contact's voice...

Now, if you're a masochist and absolutely want to use this one, then it's totally up to you anyway ! :p

Just for you information, after about a month testing, the 2.12.50.02_2 finally proves even better than the already excellent 2.10.50.19_2, and I even can't notice the noise some people had reported on using FM radio.

Clear, strong and stable reception, even in the most difficult areas, and it can even connect to my home Wi-Fi from places where the previous one couldn't.

Go for it, it's definitely the one to use. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ausi:
Does anyone know when NRG will post new ROMs??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
Dude that is just your opinion. for me 2.15.50.xx is a very good radio it just lets itself down on the the wifi throughput so i use 2.14.50.xx

Nobody ever knows. It actually says in the FAQ never to asks when the new roms are gonna be out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] paitken:
Flashed ref rom and sense has loaded and working fine. What is the next step, re-download cookie/sencity rom and try flashing again?

All this help is appreciated.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] M3PH:
I would first try the standard cookie 2 version then try redownloading the sencity version doing a task29 between each flash. Then if the sencity version still gives you problems go for a different one. I like Touch Of Glass.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Radio

I will go with Z80 on radio 2.12.50.02_2 has proved best for me from 6 months of radio testing.

This radio is best option for install when experiencing problems that may be Radio related & proved very balanced in all aspects in worldwide testing on my device.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
I think we established over time that no common ground can be found when it comes to different radio versions. For example I maintain for myself and friends 6 HD2's and each one requires a different radio rom that would work best with their specific provider (we only have three providers in Switzerland) and or area the phone is mainly used in. You might even experience different results at home and at work. In which case you might want to pick a third version that balances those two areas better.

I guess especially Version 2.15.50.xx has had allot of controversy surrounding it. Some people swear to it to be the best (probably because it is one of the later ones to come out) and others can’t even make a normal phone call with it. So my experience is that “it is definitely the one to use” might not be true for everyone. There might be suggestions you should try out like 2.07.50.xx, 2.10.50.xx, 2.12.50.xx, and 2.15.50.xx. But again on the end of the day the question which Radio works the best for you, is up to yourself to answer. There is even a couple of .51 radios that will work (I would not suggest you try them if you don’t know what you are doing)

If you want to test battery usage with normal cell tower searching the low tech way, I would suggest letting a MP3 run in a loop in TCPMP with backlighting On to see how long it runs. Make sure you don’t receive a phone call, SMS, or touch it during testing since that will impact the results greatly. So through the night is a good time to try this. Normal run time should be around 9 to 10 hrs. If you do that with a bunch of different radios you will get an idea on how they differ in regards to cell network searching. Try to keep everything else exactly the same, clean ROM, same location to receive comparable results.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
That is a great idea! That has been the one thing I could never accurately test with each radio I've tried on any device.

And it is as you say, there is no singularly advantageous radio version. It's always best to try out a few of them to see which is best for the individual. Location, geography, carrier, et cetera all play a part in the dynamics of the radio ROM's quality on your device. If you're having issues with any of the radio functions (BT, WiFi, Cell data, FM) then simply flash a new one, and see if that helps or hurts. I usually try out the new radio for at least three full days, unless something goes horribly awry with it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Hy-Man:
NRG says on twitter today that new roms are uploading tonight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
That's it. Not even able to make a normal phone call with it ! :D

Please be aware that I wasn't talking about any 2.15.xx radio ROMs in general, but about the specific 2.15.50.14 (it may be important).

Everyone should also be aware about the fact that the 3rd number has to be "50" to be compatible with Asian or European Leos, and that the radio ROM number has to finish with a "_2" at the end in order to be compatible with Energy ROMs, as only these ones allow the 576 MB free RAM.

I also agree with your implicit call for not just look for the highest version number, and do your own tests...

But you must still know that before choosing radio ROMs to test, I read a lot about what a lot of people were saying about their own experience with them.

The 2.15.50.14_2 absolutely behaved for me as everyone was saying it behaved : terribly.

Actually, I didn't really "test" it, if you consider it was already installed in my second hand HD2 when I bought it (probably by someone being fooled by the "latest version" bait). Having noticed phoning was almost impossible as compared with my HD, I then started to look for a better one, that's why I actively searched the Net.

But yes, you're true : since it should have been designed to be usable somewhere on Earth, then it should work somewhere, under some specific conditions... Though I can hardly imagine which ones. :p Or maybe finally just on Mars ? :D

Anyway, there was a clear consensus about only 3 radio ROMs, and they're unsurprisingly the ones you cited (so I'm not sure you're so much persuaded that the other ones are quite as good as you're pretending). ;)

I never saw such disorder with the HD radio ROMs. The higher the version, the better (provided you used the correct rilphone), and they just added better reception and less antenna heat (both actually come together, since bad reception forces the hardware to increase power to compensate).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jerryhou85:
It seems to me he haven't uploaded yet.

Just got a pre-own HD2, gonna flash the radio first. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
If it makes you happy.. I will include the Oboe 6.45 camera app. There's no visible difference between them, so I don't see what all the fuss is about. Anyway, this will be included in today's HD2 ROMs.

Today...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Higher version numbers tickle folks where it makes them giggle. :D

G-sensor

hi all, I was asked to flash the HD2 of a friend today, so I installed Energy Dinik Dutch 4th june.

When I click on G-sensor nothing happens, it doesn't even open the application to calibrate.

On my own HD2 with 1st june Energyrom everything is ok, is this a Rom issue or a hardware issue?

Thankz! :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Most likely a ROM issue... I'll look into it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
LOL Right ? Some people are just obsessed about it. I'm so glad I'm not one of them... probably why my ROMs are more stabler than others... lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abo azam:
Thanks for the new version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Sure :) Next version in another month or so... heheh
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
I've enjoyed a few other roms for my HD2 but none more (so far :)) than this one. Just switched to 29020 a few days ago... wish I waited a bit longer. Who knew? (Haha LOL) Such is life. Will do 29022 soon enough...

On another note... this was posted here August of last year... I'm surprised from what I've seen, that there was little, if any, acknowledgment by others of similar experience... Regarding the Blockbuster app and custom ROMs...

I'm experiencing this very same behavior...

Personally... I really like & appreciate the look & feel & enhancements to this ROM but (let's face it) WMP is WMP. Currently installed on the Energy 29020 is WMP v10.3 build 29018. The skin is beautiful, but I'm unaware of any enhanced or improved functionality.

I can't use the Blockbuster App either. It seems to only work with the WMP version built into the Stock TMOUS rom (build 21892). Wish I could get it back - but it's available nowhere. This is unfortunate. No Netflix for the WM 6.5 HD2 and the only alternative... Blockbuster; is busted (certainly by accident and) for no good reason.

No I don't expect a new Energy rom with the old WMP build - there's always something. :) And no, despite what it seems - this post isn't a complaint or criticism or request for xxx. It's just an observation. Otherwise ... Love !!! the rom. Thank you!

Rob
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
I belive the reason the blockbuster app wont work is because DRM is gone. And it's gone from most (if not all!) custom ROMs. Have you tried running it on a 21916 ROM though ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] guidogsbn:
elegancia theme

hello nrgz28, in the download folder was a Elegancia ROM for some minutes yesterday,but then dissapeared. Will it come up again? Would be nice to see, how it looks like....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Netflix? Blockbuster? Seriously? You were using those services on your HD2? Get yourself a Slingbox/Usenet Account/FreeNAS and do it the correct way. I know people love to work for their lifes but how about just a little less so you have the time to watch a movie? DRM! What a sad chapter in human history.

Slingbox Pro -> for TV/Video Streaming

FreeNAS -> for Music/Video Streaming
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pomi68:
Hi,

mhm. Anybody problems with image-file in 7-zip-archive from 2nd of July ? I tried dinik + touch of Glass 29022 and both sais : file (.nbh) is corrupt / defect.

I use 7-Zip 9.22 beta.

Michi
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
Agreed about DRM... and No, I wasn't using those services on my HD2. Just looking for a way to watch an occasional movie. It's a simple thing really. I appreciate the heads-up on the Slingbox & FreeNAS. I'll look into them. Thank you. :) (as I posted earlier), I wasn't so much complaining as commenting; but there's no reason the Blockbuster App shouldn't work (afaik) outside of garbage code and bad attitudes about the way things should be.

btw... your comment, "I know people love to work for their lifes but how about just a little less so you have the time to watch a movie?" ...makes absolutely no logical sense to me. I'll assume only good intent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] koz:
Great to wake up this morning to see a new Energy Rom - and just in time as I was about to flash back to WM (from toying w/ Android & WP7). Is anyone else not getting voicemail notifications? It may be a coincidence, but it seems it started happening when I flashed this 29022 rom (although, could just be a bad flash).

Edit: Well, looks like my post was a bit hasty. Reflashed back to June 1 29020 Rom & same issue, so its carrier related, not Rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bence:
Is it possible to somehow change theme and background to default from official htc roms without installing any extra cabs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Every I reset my phone, I need to do an align screen. I did find posts that talk about getting a screen alignment on first boot of phone but I did not get that with the flash of the June 1 sensity. I am about to do the July 2 and want to make certain that I do whatever necessary to get rid of my screen problem.

New to my HD2 after more than year with TD2. The HD2 is perfect for my needs. Phone came with NAND Android and I quickly learned that i prefer WM 6.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
Thank you for this answer! (my apologies, as I hadn't seen it earlier). No, I haven't tried a 21916 ROM but I'm going to, and will report back.

(edited)... There's something about a lack of sleep that compromises my brains ability to think clearly. The need to sleep annoys me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
That's a big negative there captain...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mainzweb:
Hi NRGZ28...

Thank you for your great ROM, and comes just in time for me, I want to flash back to WP after android and wp7

I love your Dinik ROM, realy beautiful ......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
Just installed and setup 21916. Reconfigured everything. WMP is now build 21914... and I had high hopes, but it's a complete failure. No change from the 0xc00d2764 error code at the d/l attempt from the Blockbuster App. Thanks for the tip NRGZ28. It was a worthwhile and good try. This is a S.N.A.F.U. Apps shouldn't work (fail to work) this way. And I'm not going back to the stock TMOUS ROM for the sake of BB. The heck with 'em. :mad: I'll put on the Energy 29022. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mass13:
sorry but I really don't get what you mean, obsessed about flashing? aren't we all? :D

I have Energy Roms on both HD2's, anyone having issues with the G-sensor calibrating app?

Thankz! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] enebro77:
Camera Resolution

Please,

Talking about new Oboe´s camera soft, is there any change in the recording resolution or is it the same 640x480 ?

Many thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] koz:
A few observations about this rom in comparison to the previous builds:

1. Smooth, smooth, smooth (did I say smooth?) - In some of the previous builds, I noticed slight hesitations - not so in this one. It feels almost like I'm using WP7 with all the benefits of WM 6.5.

2. No lockscreen issues. I use the CHT lockscreen with proximity sensor on. On previous builds, when I'd turn the phone on to show the lockscreen, the keyboard icon (not the whole keyboard) would show at the bottom of the lockscreen (although, I don't know if anyone else has had this issue) - its gone on this build.

- Great, great work, NRGZ28
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EngineerMind:
New progress spalsh screen

I just flashed the latest 7/2 ROM (cookie 2.0 29022) on my HD2 and right after the blue energy splash screen and before the WM homescreen, the below screen pops up and its an "active" splash screen - meaning the bottom text get displayed more and more in sequence (progressive) as it boots up.

Has anyone else seen this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] RobE.:
That's an animated .gif (in your Windows directory). It loads on startup. It's not like a PC bootscreen showing live events. It's just for show, (like a cartoon... not real).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] batt:
..... yes, Shall I it all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It was a mistake in the cooking process. It is supposed to be in the Imagio ROMs. NRG mentioned something about it in his Twitter feed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
It is the same. If you are looking for HD recording, you will need to get an Android build. The hardware supports HD recording, but there is no WM driver to support it. We won't be able to record at higher resolutions than that in WM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Sugocy:
This, if not a 2nd of July-Bug (Happy 4th America! ;) ) could be a flash flaw. I did the same thing for two friends of mine. From the latest stock ROM to Custom NRGZ-ROM: No wifi, Screen turned on and off randomly and no G-sensor what. so. ever.

Repair move one and 4 beers beyond:

1: Re-flash of ROM and Hard Reset (Twice --> Kill al Stock b-****)

2: Problems gone on one HD2

Last hopes and 5 beers beyond:

--> Task29, flash, hard reset, problems are gone.

Thus, maybe this is an answer you seek! :) Good luck and cheers^^.

(The beer was a part of the solution ofc! )

Sugocy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
NRG simply misquoted. He seems to have meant to quote one of my posts above his as he responded to another user whom he quoted twice. I believe the second post was meant to be a response to mine. His post should probably have read as below.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
That's what I understood too...

Higher version never always means better version anyway... Some known and handled problems may disappear while new unknown ones appear... Always leave time to some adventurous people to find the bugs before rushing to new versions. ;)

LMAO

german version of the latest build (july 4)

i tryed to download the latest german build, but it seems thats the build from june..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mass13:
Task29 of course!!!!! I only flash NRG Roms so it has been ages I used Task29, thankz!

Wil it work without beer?? I don't drink :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mass13:
indeed, he quoted me 2 times, now at least it makes sense :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] paitken:
Thanks M3PH. Flashed the July 2nd Sencity ROM and all working fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
No localized versions at the moment, only US English (WWE) ones.

I'm waiting too, but some versions never get localized anyway, so just... Check from times to times, and be patient. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] guidogsbn:
Hi mate,

this seems to be eleminated in the new version of July 4 th.

The changelog says:

July 4th, 2011

Wifi Router app updated for more compatibility (especially VGA devices)

USSD Service app fixed and updated

Removed rogue Imagio bootup welcomescreen and animation

Fixed InCall volume issues for 21916 VGA devices ROMs

Fixed Bubblebreaker for 21916 ROMs

VoIP components thrown back in

As I´m not having problems with the July 2nd version, I will not flash again this time. No wifi problems.

By the way: Nice to see, that the colour of the Contacts-tab are all right now, twitter-tab from HTC is working again and in the musicplayer (I use nitrogen) I see nice pictures of the played album. It took only about one month, to get all this fixed. So further rom development still makes sense.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jerryhou85:
haven't play much with 2/7 ROM, now 4/7 ROM comes out...Need to try it faster this time. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BerMM:
Yeah...

Same here! I'm crossing my fingers for a new Maxsense (still my favorite, if for no other reason than the preview widget). Until then, I'm more than happy to play with the Extreme ROM :D

"VoIP components thrown back in"

Does this mean that I no longer need a 3rd party SIP client? After a lot of searching I finally settled on PortGo, but I'm all for something better.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Patchworks:
July 4th not loading, 0% but recovers fine!

I've downloaded the July 4th 2.5 Sense Cookie 2.0 update and tried to put it in. I was running a Feb 2011 version.

The upgrades starts and you see the RGB screen, but the percentage never gets off 0%. It recovers fine after removing the battery!

Any ideas?

Thanks,

UPDATED: I did a hard reset and then tried to flash July 4th and still no workie!! Tried both Cookie 2.0 and XTREME version!

UPDATED AGAIN: I had a copy of the Feb 12, 2011 version that I had on it and I tried to reload it and still no workie!! Yikes!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patience88:
Did you try to download the ROM again?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Patchworks:
Yes, also tried other versions XTREME and old Feb 12th version!

I was able to reset the phone thru the menus and get it back to the previous state where it is working on the Feb 12th 2011 version, but nothing seems to work when I try to upgrade/replace any version!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Crusoe86:
Hello NRGZ28,

how long the germans have to wait until the new ROM is uploaded?

In the german section is still the ROM from June.

Thank you :)

Many regards

Crusoe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
LMAO :D

I bet we'll soon read here about people menacing to go on trial because NRGZ28 would be too slow to provide his FREE work... :D

Almost as amazing as the guy with empty credit complaining about not being able to send SMS on the HD topic...

Guys, some of you sure have a great future... As clowns in a circus ! :p

ROFL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jerryhou85:
Just feedback this to the chef, hope it can be included in the new ROM. :)

BTW, what is the new XTREME version??? Any screenshot?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] BerMM:
IIRC, Energy XTREME ROMs are the same as Energy style CHT, except that the files are not compressed which makes things more responsive.

Despite what post 1 says, XTREME versions are designed exclusively for the larger internal memory of Tmobile USA branded HD2s and should not be used on any other device.

Shouldn't something similar to this be added to post 1 or 6?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jerryhou85:
Thanks for the info... I didn't find it on first page and energyroms website...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Well, that's because this isn't really really related to Energy ROMs.

In Europe, we all regret the HD2 has so few storage memory... You can almost install nothing there. Just having added Sense tabs (plus fixes, as I'm stll running the 29007 with the fixes I asked NRGZ28 to add in his later ROMs) and a couple of utilities that have to reside in main storage memory, I've absolutely nothing left (I'm currently running with only 7 MB free).

Fortunately, I don't use my phone for emails...

It's then not surprising there's absolutely no way uncompressed versions can fit.

We're all dreaming about the T-Mobile version...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
Well even if you did use it for mails (like me) you can still save space in internal memory by selecting in mail options to store attachments in SD card.

Also RSS Feeds have that option in order to save a bit more space...

Well it is not much but it is enough.

Also there is the option to delete about 7-10 MB of space from temp+cache folders via SK Tools and also make that happen automatically if free space falls below a user specified threshold.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jerryhou85:
...hope one day cell phone can DIY... :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] guidogsbn:
Hi mate,

good to read that from your person, as I´m very shure I never had read your question in this forum before: "where are the french versions"...he,he,he:D

Welcome to the club !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Well, I consider it's minimum politeness towards the author's efforts...

BTW, I prefer to post solutions to remaining problems in existing versions while waiting for the next one : it feels a bit more constructive to me ! :p

Yep, I know, but I receive too much mails, so even the text would fill in all the available space. And I keep all my professional and personal emails since Internet exists here... :D

Anyway, it's not really interesting as long as we don't have 3G. We're waiting for it by next August, but nobody knows the cost yet...

As long as I have to rely on a wi-fi connection, having emails on the phone isn't relevant, as it also means I have a PC handy.

When we'll have 3G available, I think I'll just use webmail anyway, to save space. On the other hand, using an email client from a Sense tab may still remain handy to send emails, if not to receive them...
