Backup backup backup

Just going to add a few pointers to this thread ....

When Flashing a new ROM, make backups, not just one but several and even then different types.

Just going to lay out some of the backups I keep, because I have yet to loose anything except a few icons ....

Backup your contacts, via the included PIMbackup, I make one a week, and keep two or three around ...

Sync your contacts to the Cloud, via "MS My Phone", Google, or whatever proggy fits your needs, this is in addition to the PIMbackup

Copy your SD card Contents to your PC, save the whole thing, I am sure most of us can spare the space for the contents of the SD.

Copy the My Documents from phone memory, sometimes, stuff is here that you "forgot" and a backup of that will come in handy, just merge it with the one on your SDcard

You can use "My Phone" and/or pim backup to save your email messages as well as your sms/mms messages, just make note of what your email accounts are called on the phone , like Gmail, Gmail2 , and recreate them first before you restore the backup, your messages will be there.

Now I know this post is gonna get buried but , maybe if someone searches for PIM or PIMbackup or contacts they will find it and maybe even read it ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I assume the way he said it that it was a backup, but maybe not, either way I do know that sim import works, just tested it, not really a good way to keep contacts though, as it splits each entry separate where, PIMbackup keeps the entries with multiple numbers together ....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] diceman725:
I have noticed quite a lag in loading music since the 8 July builds (not just NRG's by the way). Admittedly, I've got about 14GB of music on my SD card, but loading the music tab used to be just a nominal lag (2-3 seconds). Now it's substantial (20+ seconds) and quite annoying. I've played with quite a few other ROMs in the last several days including Dutty's, AthineOS, and KWBR. The only one that doesn't have the lag is KWBR.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] zkid2010:
Yeah it does do that :( And worse sometimes (name truncation for some odd reason)

I suspect most everyone else is using a backup util as you suggest - which is why there isn't some enormous outcry over that sim import bug :D

Ima give it a shot and thanks for the 411!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
I read it... chose to ignore it. Not worth my time...

Seconds ? How about .2 nanoseconds .. lol I bet you'll be sitting there with the laptop in your hands and your cable out (keep it clean! lol) when the delivery guy hands you the "thingie" to sign on (can we flash that thingie??).

p.s. I used to work for UPS in their "IPLD" department, working and fixing those "thingies" which are called "DIAD's" :) Hehe
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] objecttothis:
The first try I got an error but I tried it again and it worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] m0bmentality:
Lol im sure its gonna have to be downgraded to an old stock first.. which SUCKS..

but i have already done it on the wifes so i have all the files ready.. lol.. yea.. itll be plugged in and running some form of boot mode before the ups dude gets back in his truck.. i promise you that lol.

As far as flashing those UPS things.. im sure if theres a way in XDA will find it first... and im sure between you and cotella it'll be it running FedEx software in DAYS.. lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
You're just not fast enough... sorry... you still got a lot to learn my young Jedi.. LOL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dotnetguyaz:
ActiveSync to Gmail... you forgot that one... ;) lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] m0bmentality:
I have a 4g-6 memory card on my desk with the downgrade flash on it in the root A second 16g with my contacts and cabs in all the appropriate areas... and a Leo_July17CHT folder with Task29 and Your newest Ruu camped out and ready to install the July17CHT

And the cable is hanging out of the laptop with just a hint of silicone lube on it and a backup battery charged to 100% incase the shipped battery is weak....

So if im not "prepared" enough bite me

;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Well I figured , "whatever proggy fits your needs", covered that one, besides, did not want to hurt their brains that much .....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dotnetguyaz:
Awww, you're so nice! ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] objecttothis:
Yeah, NRG released several ROMS that were incredibly speedy for the Sense Music but 16th and 17th seem much slower. Download the Sammy blaze music cab fix. It will help, but not fix it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Not really, just did not want to field a bunch of "My phone will not sync with Gmail" questions, but then again , could just tell them to talk to you ... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I agree that the music tab is a little slower, but the rest of the ROM is so much faster..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dotnetguyaz:
Eh, just do what I do... get a car that has a USB port and a good stereo... the music tab problems fade away quickly at that point ;)

E-reader Tab add-on clashes with Facebook tab

Dear All,

I have recently flashed my leo with July 17th 23673 (cookie's) and as I am a fan of e-books I installed the recent E-reader Tab add-on from NRG.

It turns out after several tests that when the e-reader tab is installed, the Fb tad disappears !

I use both and therefore it is rather annoying :-)

Is this normal ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] far83v2:
cannot sync email

dear sir.. first of all ur instruction is great as this is my first time customize my ROM.. however there is one problen occur..

before i apply ur ROM, i have no problem sync my company exchange email.. however after applying ur ROMS.. all of the sudden i cannot sync my company email anymore.. however i can sync my yahoo and gmail exmail..

i'm not blaming you for this incident in fact i really apprecjate on your guide.. is just that wonder if there is something wrong with my hd2 after applying your ROM or if there any i need to do in order to restore back my exchange email..

thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dotnetguyaz:
Can you describe some of the symptoms that you are having and also which ROM you are using (version (Cookie, GTX, MaxSense, etc), windows version)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pietrucci:
with the latest 23xxx cookie roms (16 and 17 july) quite a few times when I start a program or settings my device suddenly jumps to the sense homescreen. anyone has the same experience?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Please read this post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheRomMistress:
Ive had that happen a few time, usually a soft reset fixes it

Edit: This is has happened even after allowing sence to completely load.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] objecttothis:
So you're saying use a memory stick instead of the phone to play music to your stereo?

That's not a workaround though... it's giving up. Most people that use their HD2 to play music would like it to function as an MP3 player without lags and glitches. I and a few others use it to stream audio via bluetooth to their stereo head units.

As far as I'm concerned the HTC programming of the SenseUI music tab is crap. It has several bugs that make it very unreliable. I suspect short of reverse engineering it, NRGz is limited in what he can do but it would be nice to return to whatever he did to make it a 2-3 second wait to load.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dotnetguyaz:
I wouldn't say it's giving up at all. It's just another way to use the device *shrug*

However, the music tab is crap, as is a lot of other things in Sense. The major problem (as I see it) is that it tries to reload and rescan the library every time. It should be doing what other music apps do and scan once, and then read from cache with a periodic rescan.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Starfury:
Have the 21911 builds been refreshed to include the other updates listed on here like Bing/Facebook/CHTLockscreen updates?

I ask as they are showing as Jul16 on Hotfile...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Are you referring to the difference in SSPLs between the old stock T-Mo ROM and the new 2.13 ROM? If you are, you do know that HSPL3 allows you to flash HSPL straight on the new 2.13 ROM, right (no more downgrade SSPL then HSPL)?;)

....Just trying to help you flash your phone faster....:p

Unable to launch Sense - Possible Solution

I - for some reason - had to hard reset, and after restoring my stuff, I ran into the "Unable to launch Sense" stupid little error.

Because I'm using several tools (XDA_UC, SASHIMI, Resco registry, and the Settings Exporter), It took me 4 hard resets with the try/catch method to find out which part exactly is causing the Sense failure, which turned out to be the "Sense Settings" section in the "Settings Exporter" tool.

The tool isn't buggy. What I'm saying is, if you took a backup from originally-faulty settings, the "Sense Settings" could give you nightmares like mine did.

Long story short, within restoring your customizations after a flash/hard reset, if you had the Sense launching problem, I recommend not to use the "Settings Exporter" tool, and not to import any previous settings whatsoever, because the settings you've exported earlier might be faulty. Instead, hard reset again, then re-configure your stuff manually (Alarms, owner info, ... etc), and at last you may export your fresh healthy settings after deleting the old ones.

Hope this helps somebody.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
I think what he meant was to use your phone as a harddrive, usb it to your stereo (mine has a usb on the front), then your stereo will play the music straight from your card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
I would think not yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
had that occasional program close as well, well after sense has loaded. (maybe arkswitch related).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] edujl:
I think I have solved the issue by doing a a task 29, reload the radio and then install the Rom... I's been a couple days without resetting the phone ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] anilfk8:
(probably a stupid question)...

how do i use Task29 with the Energy ROM... I mean when i download the Energy ROM bundle from the first page, it consists of two files: the ROM image and an executable install file... For my first flash i just ran the executable, which then installed the image...

I am under the impression that you should run Task29 before you do a new ROM flash... I have downloaded task29, and it consists of a single executable, which then errors when i tried to run it... It seems to require something else... Should i be running Task29 instead of the Energy ROM install executable in the same directory as the image file? (Sorry the Task29 instructions were not too helpful)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Hi .. Task 29 is a different thing, and yes you should run it before flashing the ROM (as a clean-up tool).

Download it from my signature, run it normally like the ROM executable (you'll notice it's faster than the ROM), then after the 100% cleaning is completed, the device will reboot (hold the volume down button until you see the tri-color screen with USB word). Now execute the ROM exe.

Happy flashing :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] TheRomMistress:
I suggest using Flashaholics Ruu. It makes the process a lot more simple.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] petrosk73:
Right click> Run as administrator will enable Task29 to run without error! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Correct .. There you go :;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prankstarr:
hi people,

how do i format my memory SD card on the NRG ROM? (Im using the Dinik July 8th one but assume that the menu layout is similar in most of the ROMs).

It is easy to find on the stcok ROM but i am having trouble on this ROM...any help?

edit - don't matter, i'll just do it via windows on my pc although it is the long way round...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Crusoe86:
You're (seems) to be right... I can't find it, too.

But that means nothing... I've overlooked today also a part of the changelog :p

An alternative is, that you plug in you data cable and format your card in windows/linux/mac (or DOS) or what your computer runs :)

I know, you want to format with your phone. But this function seems to be hide very good :p

Maybe I include it in my translation pack, if nobody can find the format tool :p

EDIT: Oh... Oh... Please format with FAT32. Maybe your phone don't like NTFS or ext2, 3, 4 or what your OS prefer :)

it's great and stable rom but it's not working with the arabic cause its font .. can anyone give me 11 jul coockie rom link plz ?

it was so great too

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] overshadowss:
lol :D :D :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nordicfastware:
Anyone ? No ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] overshadowss:
its a registry issue go back few pages and u ll find the solution :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Arabic works .. After installing both "Arabic Support" and "NRGZ28 Tahoma Font Restore" CABs (both are in my signature), use a registry editor.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]

Add a DWORD value [COLOR=Red]FontLinkMethods[/COLOR] = 1

Then reset.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hinds:
Well at least it was. I just checked by opening an email and indeed the menu button is enabled again. Maybe it took several soft rests to get it back. It was definitely missing a day ago.

i have full battery and it still does not work, gunna flash with july 17th and see if it works then

I have a problem about screen lock for these roms

I have try some app cab screen lock in this fourm such as

h t t p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=641024

Even it can work at first time, but it will change back to origal lock screen after some hours or some works on phone, i have no idea what's the problem about it.

I think the HTC mini lock screen is more perfectly by use "one hand and one finger" to hold on and unlock

Is it possible change to use HD Mini lock screen style? or anyone can provide some fix version cab only for these roms?

Waiting for your help, thanks~~~
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prankstarr:
yup - thanks...i just used my pc to format it...takes longer and obviously requires the use of an external machine. it was easier just doing this locally on the device...it must be still on the HD2 under some menu that im not looking at?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Did you install the Arabic support & NRGZ28 Tahoma font restore CABs ? If not, get them both from my signature.

Font is bold by default (ROM-related).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tantan911:
yes sure , shall i reinstall both again ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tantan911:
is that's right ? cause i'm not too expert at the regedit

[/url][/IMG]

[/url][/IMG]
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
No .. Did you reboot after adding the REG entry?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tantan911:
yes sure i do restart after any change
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Well, the above worked with several devices. You gotta be doing something incorrect.

LOL I got it .. Type "FontLinkMethods" only, not "FontLinkMethods = 1", and then set the value to 1.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tantan911:
it didn't work but after re-install the arabic support app , it did work

Thanks for the support
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Good .. You still need to modify that reg entry though.

Uw :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nrfitchett4:
look a couple pages back, there is a font fix you need to do that should fix it for you.

guess you already got it working.

Hi,

I'm getting a large battery drain using NRG GTX. I haven installed anything. Just changed layout to co0kies hometab. I installed batlog to see what the drainage was in standby and its between 6mA to 150 mA. Most of the time its at 60-80mA.

I've been using Artemis and just using that with nothing else installed I was at 6 mA most of the time. However when I install Co0kies hometab the samething happens the battery drainage. Has anyone experienced this?

I would really like to be able to use the energy rom, but not with a battery life of less than a day.

Thanks

Erik

is anyone experiencing overheating and freezing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] timstephens11:
Bump.

If you get round to it i'd like the 2016 version too so i can put it in to the UC stuff, as it is you have to do the NRG htc messaging cab then the 2016 cab then delete the .dll to get the sms taskbar icon back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] far83v2:

thanks for the reply. i'm installing Cookie "energy" version. and Windows 6.5.

Music Tab

Can anyone tell me if the music tab on 7/17 is functioning ok. Does it pop right up like the 7/1 rom or is there the 3-5 second lag still? Been holding on 7/1 just b/c of that lol
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hesian:
It is not included. SD Format CAB was posted a few pages back. Do a search.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] lampel:
He's asking where you notice that you have an issue; i.e., are you able to complete the account setup? Does it connect to the server at all? Is there an error code? Does it download any e-mail?

btw: I've seen a couple people have issues adding the domain because their e-mail address is populated in the username field so they appear not to be able to complete the setup process...

Arabic Support

For arabic support just install http://www.mediafire.com/?3yo2ijg3cixtc1y then soft reset and perform the Registry key

Add a DWORD value FontLinkMethods = 1

i hope this help

MaxSense version 16 July

I have flashed the newest MaxSense version (16 July 2010). I have the following issues:

LED notification cannot be enabled ( I tried BsBTweaks, still no change) -- haven't expierienced it with any other rom.

Does not "log on" to GSM network sometimes (I think when the battery level is low -- soft reset does nothing to correct the problem; plugging the phone to the mains power does and it works)

Any Ideas?

AND ANOTHER QUESTION: SINCE I LIKE THIS ROM: When is the newer version with MaxSense 1.05 to be released?

I am using Radio 2.12.50.02_2

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fif23:
What's cleaner

Task29--->Radio--->ROM---HR

or:

Task29--->ROM----Radio--->HR

?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Shouldn't make any difference. The former may be easier if you are coming from a rom with an incompatible (ie not 2.07.50 + radio)

Where are you using your phone? That's a factor that seems to be quite important for the signal strength and stability.

I live in Munich (Germany) and tested almost all radios and experienced the best radio for my region is the recommended one (2.07) on the first page of this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Hey easy dude, NRG cooks the roms and many of the rest of us try to provide the necessary support. If he had to trawl through each thread for the 10 + devices he cooks roms for, answering users questions (many of which are repeated over and over almost daily) he'd never get to do any cooking. I'd far rather have "some random person" help to sort out my problem and let NRG do what he does best.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
First off, if many people made comments like that, we would be lucky to get another ROM ..

Also there have been maybe 3 of you that have had this problem, not unless it actually affects someone who knows how to fix it , I doubt you are gonna find an answer ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Crusoe86:
Takes longer?

Hm... Oh... I've forgot to mention that you shoult choose "Quickformat" if available...
