ROM Freezes posible solution

I have seen people having issues with phone freezes, and a guess that the color of the reset button may have a hand in this. While T-Mobile US denied any hardware change related to the button (I have a red one), I think I have found a solution, and it involves the flash order.

I Used to do the following

1) Task 29

2) Flash Radio

3) Flash ROM

4) Hard Reset ROM

Doing this, I would get some freezes, not too many, but anyhting more than 1 is too many.

I remembered back a few hundred pages, that there were some issues after flashing that were solved by flashing the radio again, so I figured I would revise my flashing order, and flash the radio after the rom. My new sequence is as follows:

1) Task 29

2) Flash ROM

3) Flash Radio

4) Hard Reset ROM

After using the new seequence on both my phone and my wifes, I have had no freezes (Me since June 11th, her phone got its first flash July 3rd) and no issues with the phone at all.

I also do the following to speed up the flashing process.

1) Task 29 - When it reaches 96% I hold down vol down until it reboots, so it reboots right to the tri-color screen

2) Flashing rom, I hold down vol down at 99% until it reboots so it reboots into tri-colored screen

3) Flashing radio, I hold both vol up and vol down at 98% and it will reboot into the "Press vol up to restore device" screen

I would like others to try this flash order, and see if it makes their phone more stable. Based on other posts, it would seem that there may be something being corrupted in the radio part of the phone, when flashing the ROM part of the phone. By reflashing the radio, prior to Hard Reset, you will be putting right, what ever may have been corrupted, by the ROM flash. This isn't based on actual knowledge, just a hunch, and my results, so your results may vary, but it would be interesting for you all to try it, and let us know if you, like me, see an improvement.

what is task 29
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZaidSenall:
My wifi just turns itself on randomly

Has anybody else seen that? I flashed the Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.01 and it's been very fast and stable, however, my wifi just turns itself on randomly.

other than that, I second NRG's decision to remove the Documents and the eReader tabs. I would go further and remove the Call History tab as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nygmam:
Think of it like formatting your phone, prior to installing the OS. Task 29 errases teh ROM portion of your phone, keeping the Radio, and splash screen intacted. You should be doing a Task29 on your phone prior to installing the new ROM, although some recomend it every few flashes, or every build change, I think it is best to do it everytime. This, from someone who was "affriad" of doing it, and never did it on my other phones, on the HD2, it seems to solve many errors, after flashing.

I strongly recomend you doing a Task29 every flash, in the order in my above post, flashing the Radio after the ROM, although it will work without this step, but I say, what is an extra 60 sec. to reflash a radio...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] heyyyitsjordan:
where do i get task 29?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nygmam:
Dump eReader, not much use, as ereader apps are better at this than sense. However, I do like the document tab, so as long as it can be reinstalled, that would be a good option. I like the suggestion of cooking it in, but leaving it inactive and hidden, this would make it easier to add for those of us (Like me) who actually use it, alot. It's great with email attachments, and other pdf files I have stored all over my SD card (Well two places)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] loaferkan:
Okay if these tabs are removed! you should have a cab for it...but why remove it? just go to the setting, and just unchecked the tab you don't want in your sense. I for one like the recent doc tab, because when I get the email attachments, it show right there. the reader is kind of cute, and I got to have the call history tab, esp when I am on the phone and need to look up the last few numbers I called and received.

Under the zip folder for the radio in the cookie 23540 there is no installer just the .nbh file. Shouldn't there be an installer. I have run the file and I am being asked by windows for which program to use.

Energy.Leo.21892.Sense2.5 Max manila

Hi there. I'm on 21892 with Max manila.

This ROM is awesome. Looks like never before and is fast.

Just issue I have is replaing for messaiging in landscape is not working for me. If I rotate screen manualy there is some graphics problem.

Just to let you know NRGZ

Havent try other ones but i will. They are all worth it. Than you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] free_umi:
Been using 23540 with Cookiemonster for an hour or so without problem. Missing the full screen option of Maxmanilla, so trying that now. What else is there other than Win-Win.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lorddeff07:
Yeah, I was getting the same issue with max.... rotating to landscape in the messaging give a graphical glitch, strange.....

anyways, i love my full screen and the whole landscape "manilla start" but it leaves a nasty taste in my mouth whenever I see glitches like this. I have all but given up on landscape and manilla, for almost two years now.... no on seems to still have got it right.

Yeah trying other versions of his rom too....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] amygdalo:
Downloaded other versions od the latest (hotfile is slow) and all have just the .nbh of the radio. How do you flash this. Pardon my ignorance

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] crispy514:
Please don't! I can't install them from Cabs as the exchange policy my company enforces means that any non cooked manilla changes (such as new tabs) don't work...

Can't people just disable them in the settigns options if they don't want the tabs?

Thanks.

Whel my friend noris08

I see what is 'unknown1' and is '0023.tmp':)

With SPB Backup PC version (uncompress) my last backup and I see in Windows>AppMgr>unknown1 the content and have this 0023.tmp created in 28.04.2010 and size 3.43K :)

Many people reply only to increment your 'posts' and not to help:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Disabling does not work like a light switch I afraid. But as mentioned Documents can be cooked in and either enabled or disabled by default and easily changed by the user.

But the eReader tab is a big memory hog and Indagroove made a stand alone version of the app that has everything the same. You just access it from the start menu instead of a sense tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:
thank you for explanation, but now i'm more confused:confused:

i am not very technical, but can a tmp file be installed and seen in the installed progs list? what would be the reason?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ryuu55:
Sounds good, I personally hide the e-reader, stock, docs tabs anyway.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fidalgos:
Maybe NRGZ can clarify this... because 3 or 4 diferent roms I install from NGRZ and I see on installed progs this 'unknown1':)

Don't stay occupied with this 'unknown1' in your mind, ehehe:D no problem :) because when you flash a new rom you go see this 'unknown1':D

See the football game... :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] NRGZ28:
Who cares ? Really ? Can we drop this useless conversation ? Go on and enjoy the rest of the ROM. :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] noris08:

why is this useless?

generaly i would like to know things and particulary what is inside the rom

is this wrong?

what would you consider useful?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nygmam:
It was just a joke, I don't have Unknown 1 on my phone, but my point was, if you run it, then it wouldn't be unknown anymore ;) Anyway, I think NRG just posted on this topic, so lets move on :)

I hate to sound like an ass, wait ... No I don't , but the fact that you are flashing custom ROMs to your phone in the first place , should indicate that you Have SOME technical knowledge , hence the name "Developers" in the name of this website, it does not say "XDA-Spoonfeeders" ....

Hi, first of all, you do a great job.

I have a guestion. All is running perfect in the ROM "Energy.Leo.21907.Sense2.5.Cookie.DinikGlass.Jul.03.7z"

But the only thing where i get problem is, that on the Facebook Client the pictures are not coming in. Wall, Info, Notifications and so on are running well.

If i install a earlier version like 1.0.0.7p then i didnt have any problems.

Maybe you can tell me if i have to change something?

So I hear that NRG may remove the ereader tab (I never use it and I turned it off already) and the documents tab (I do find this useful as I read pdfs that my professor send through emails during class). My question is, is there a quick way to access all your recent documents without using the tab? Or, is there an app version of the tab?

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=39762166

#there is no mention of a recent documents app
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
He just said on the previous page if he disables it, he will include it as a cab ...

I don't think that cab exists yet not for the stock document reader ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jas0nw0ng:
My question was, is there going to be an application (or if one already exists). I find the tab useful but if it is sucking up so much of the phone's resources, I can just use an application and just turn it off after I grab the document/pdf that I need.

"Auto Install" won't work on your MaxSense version..!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fishawy:
Pleasure.

I had the same problem in an earlier ROM, did a quite long search on that error, and came up with the below recommendations from an MCP.

1. Terminate the AciveSync relationship between your phone & your PC (delete at both ends).

2. Re-install ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center on your PC (XP or Vista respectively).

3. Re-configure your email settings on your device.

It worked for me.

I agree that Soft Reset fixes it. Had the same issue with the 23569 Jul 3 CHT ROM, and a couple of soft resets did the trick for me.

A funny-but-wise word was said here earlier (don't remember by whom unfortunately) .. "After every new flash, give the phone a while to understand what the hell just happened, then everything will work after the dust settles down." :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Crusoe86:
Please look at the sticky threads and use MTTY or the Flashtool with task 29 integrated.

Please don't forget to hardreset after flashing :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I have recommended this to a few people as well, it is a good thing to just add to the start of your list before you are ready to flash ...

Seems that the problem starts the first time you plug the phone with the new flash in while the old partnership is still there, then you have to go to the trouble of re-installing activesync as stated above ...

But if you always remember to end the partnership before you flash then it should work just fine ...

1.) End Partnership with PC

2.) <insert standard flashing procedure here>

Has worked every time for me ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] prankstarr:
21908 may be coming to a hotfile near you shortly according to one of NRGZ's latest tweets - in a word we can expect even more "speed"...

For now im back to stock ROM - just kept missing too many calls. Gona run on this for a day or so and see if it fixes the reception issue - it may just be a Vodafone problem in my area...must say, stock ROM sucks ass...! :(

Unable to turn off phone using hard key

I downloaded the 23569 Energy Cookie Dinik styled rom this weekend and, overall, it is a great rom and definitely one of the sexiest looking roms out there. However, I've encountered one small problem. The menu which the End/Off hard key takes me to stopped allowing me to turn off the phone.

The option to turn off the phone shows up along with all of the other options on that screen...and I'm able to select it, but it will not turn the phone off. It hesitates for a second or two, then takes the phone right back to the home screen. The reset shortcut in the start menu still works to reboot...and of course, a battery pull will turn the phone off...but, I'd really like to be able to turn my phone off again without having to remove the battery cover and pulling the battery.

I imagine some of you will suggest a hard reset. I haven't totally mastered the art of backing up everything on my phone, and I just got it set up exactly how I want it, so I REALLY want to avoid doing that right now. I was hoping that maybe something as simple as making an edit of some sort in the registry would do the trick. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Dinik Icons

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DracoDrake:

Bump? does somebody know?

bump?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
the answer is NO, NO programs that are cooked into the ROM can be completely removed, this goes for any ROM not just energy, if they are cooked in they are there to stay ...

Some ROMS have the cab installs that auto install after the flash but this is not the case here the Programs are a part of the ROM..

You can remove the icons, and delete the program directories, but I would not recommend it ... Also they will come back if you have to hard reset since they are in the ROM ...

do the Icons bother you that much? surely on an HD2 space is not really a problem ...

Just for those of you that missed it ROM means READ ONLY MEMORY, once it is flashed , you really can't change it, WinMo makes you think you are changing it but it is really just fooling you ......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JoePR31:
Well, I just went to try using that shortcut, but decided to try using the hard key one last time....and sure enough, the darn thing worked.

I'm glad it worked, but hate the fact that I didn't get to fihure out what was causing the problem. Thanks for trying to help me, though!!! :)

Just seen this post.

Am using CHT (non Dinik) with that Radio, and had no problems with signal strength. However, I do know from my brother (who also has an HD2) that he has some seriously variable signal strength with his phone. He's running an old stock Vodafone ROM (2.06 Radio I think), and around Coventry, he gets nada in terms of signal, yet fine when he leaves the area.

I haven't yet been able to get hold of his phone, and flash it with a NRG ROM, but when I do we can compare notes.

I know this is unlikely, but maybe it's phone related ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:

There's an app called TMS Uninstaller in the TP2 forum (once you're in the page, just press CTRL + F and type in TMS Uninstaller). It's supposed to let you uninstall things that usually don't show up in the Remove Programs screen. I've never tried it, so if you're really desperate on removing those programs, you could give it a try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] FiyaFleye:
Look in the HD2 Themes and Apps section for the Dinik Icon Pack thread. I believe its in the first, main pack. Extract the icons you want. Then get JWMD Icon Changer...I believe there is a link in that same thread for it. Rename those icons to something different than they come named as and replace the icons for them in the start menu using the program. Then, using that same program, there is an option to clear Sense's icon cache...use it, it'll soft reset...problem fixed. I have to do this every flash...but it works.
