@Aznsmith

I take it that your phone probably doesn't have a recovery image installed on it. Since you've successfully rooted, the next thing would be to install a recovery image, please look at:: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291 :: You should ONLY have do steps 13-19.

Once you've completed steps 13-19 successfully... MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!

Then to install this "Optimization" package to your device, you need to do as follows:

1. Go to the first post, download the Optimization package to your desktop or where ever you can find it on your computer.

2. Then plug your phone into your computer via the USB cable, upon doing that, MOUNT your Hero.

3. Move the file that you just downloaded to your SD Card (which will show up as a "removable drive" in My Computer) -- Don't put the file inside any folders, keep the file OUTSIDE of all the directories.

4. Right click on the file and choose the rename option - rename it: update.zip

5. You can now UNMOUNT your phone and unplug it if you want.

NOW TO ACTUALLY APPLY/INSTALL the "Optimization package"

6. Power down your phone and wait for it to fully turn off.

7. Hold the DOWN Volume button AND Power at the same time, you'll see a white screen, then click on the HOME button, which should take you into Recovery (if you successfully completed the 13-19 steps above).

8. Use trackball, and select sdcard:update.zip.

9. It'll begin updating.

10. If it doesn't automatically reboot on its on, you should still be in the recovery, use the trackball again and select the first option, this will reboot your device.

Be patient and you should notice your changes upon being brought back to the Lock screen.

Hope that helps.:)

WOW

I don't know what else to say but wow.

Installed this optimizer and while I was disapointed to see the new lock screen bar (anyone know how to get the original one back?) I'm amazed at how much snappier everything is.

The only real con I have noticed is the keyboard is kind of and sometimes very laggy. Suggestions? (nevermind)

Google maps loads much faster, the browser loads much faster. Overall when you press a button it reacts immediately, unless its on the keyboard.

Very cool.

Thanks ruskiyab!!!!

*My SpeedTest result have gone down slightly but every app that uses data access loads and runs MUCH faster and smoother on wifi AND evdo ;). Interesting.

*15 minutes after reboot and keyboard is back up to speed. I guess, like other programs, it just has to load all parts of itself before it will work its best.

Sorry for posting so quick.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aznsmith:
fantastic! thanks for the instructions!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izzystylez:
does this work with .7 fresh rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I believe fresh has this pretty much integrated into it already
[Hero CDMA Android Development] izzystylez:
oh ok cool thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] elefntkpr:
You've got to be kidding me....why did HTC/Sprint hide a phone on crack under the stock retarded one they sold me? This is wow...just wow.

Stock ROM, rooted and optimized/zipalign via this thread. No errors, FC's, etc thus far.

Thanks alot for the optimization pack, you sir kick ass.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] atoy74:
It is integrated but there's still something that this package adds. I wiped, installed 0.7 and then ran the Zipalign package. Everything works well and I really enjoy the performance.

Good luck.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] iFalcon:
can someone point me to the to where I'd find the 'out of the box' wallpapers?

also, where do i place them...sorry.

thanks.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] watzone69:
Word of warning. This does not work with FreshROM 1.0! I got tons of force closes and had to pull the battery.

I'm looking forward to an update(?) because I love this optimization.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlachesk:
Seeing the same thing. Got Fresh 1.0 up and running, installed Optimizations, (seemingly) infinite FCs.

I think that fresh changed the .apk's used in 1.0 (re-optimized?), so that may have something to do with it. I'd be interested to see what the issue is.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwadehra:
I'm seeing this too. But even when I restored the nandroid backup, when I tried to install this Optimization package without installing Fresh ROM, I'm still seeing hctime repeatedly force closing.

So I guess I can't use the Optimization package. I'll just put on Fresh Rom and watch the space.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theresthatguy:
Having the same issue with user on page 6; the alarm sounds never sound.

Lockscreen

I like the stock lockscreen. Can i simply remove a file or files from the zip to prevent the lockscreen from being changed?

Thanks,

Issues with multiple force close popups

I am having issues after installing the Optimizations package. I have the latest firmware update from Sprint, then rooted the phone, did a nandroid backup, and flashed it with Fresh 1.1. That all went fine. I downloaded the [MOD][11/24/09] Application Optimizations Now with Zipalign after I verified my software version number 1.56.651.2.

I got force close popups for the browser, phone, google mpas and others. I booted recovery and recovered to the nandroid backup. All is well, but I am a little gun-shy now.

Am I crazy? What should I look for, or do I just wait for an update?

Thanks,
[Hero CDMA Android Development] washjayb:
This is an outdated post. Fresh 1.1, Gumbo, Unofficial Modaco as well any of other current ROMs include this feature. You should wipe and restore to Fresh 1.1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
fresh has optimizations built in so this should be unneccesary. However the problem you ran into was there are differences in the way the optimizations are packaged. When you flashed these, the phone's application cache was looking for the wrong version. You may be able to fix the force closures with a dalvik-cache wipe.

Got it. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kcarpenter:
the changes that fresh has made to his 1.0 & 1.1 Rom are deeper than they have ever been. I am not surprised at all that this doesn't work. Not to mention he Zipalligns and PNG optimizes stuff for his roms any ways. Doing it twice isn't going to help any.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obelisk79:
I haven't done any real testing of my own to compare, but i truly doubt there is any real performance gain to be had by de-odexing and repackaging the apks like flipz has done. The only benefit s the space savings which unless he is packaging a lot of apps in /system really doesn't seem to do much for our phones. odex is essentially an optimized executable. Deoptimizing it just doesn't make a ton of sense to me. zipalign and pngopt-ing does however.

I've actually started going beyond even that for optimizations, it won't be earth shattering but will be a minor performance update.

(Pim.vol) is contacts only

but i need the file for sms, and recent calls or call logs.

Mods sorry wasnt sure where to post a question.

Hi, I'm having a little problem with the Xperia panels. Some of them are not appearing in the panel manager, i've been researching in the net and i discovered that i need to edit the registry, because my WM is PT-BR, but i don't know what i need to edit

Anyone can help ??

[HD2 General] kasperknop:
I am really getting tired of WM 6.5 and the in persistence / buggy experience... Just wanted to know if anyone is working on a port of android 1.6 or 2.0? And is it even possible to port given that it uses 800x480 and not 854x480 like the droid?

I would also be happy to try other non-android alternatives, if any exist? (and how about handling the danish dictionary or symbols(æøå) with alternative roms?)

What are you finding so buggy? What what on earth is an "in persistence experience"? :s
[HD2 General] harsaphes:
Its called the HTC Passion.. basically..

and it absolutely is going to be released....I have that first hand from my contact at Google who has actually handled the device.

[HD2 General] die_Leuchte:
Since all these unaware journalists have found a new hobby in bashing WinMo, everyone seems to get the "I am done with this buggy WinMo experience" Virus :)=

I so happy with 6.5 and my TG01 together with the 3.5.1 SPB Mobile shell it is a dream to work with it. Ok it is still no unbox- and just begin- experience, just still have to mod a bit but after a while its just great.

Iphone OS is nothing for me, an OS you need to jailbreak and fear to receive a worm like the one thats sneaking around the web the last days...

Although I don't like this ignorant world domination company.
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Indeed. To stop these homicidal tendencies brewing in me when I read all this "oh if it only were an Android device" stuff, I can only wish they get their A+Snapdragon whatever sooner, so that they go to some other forums/threads to bug people there, but that time for real reasons - when they realize that trivial things like watching a movie can be a challenge.
[HD2 General] kasperknop:
I really like the HTC HD2 and it is the best phone hardware I have ever had between my fingers (both spec and design wise imo)

I too was kinda annoyed with all the reviews *****ing about 6.5... But after using the phone since release I can honerstly tell that it has some major flaws that my Hero didn't have - mainly because it runs WinMo 6.5 and not android.

Here is some of the reasons I wanna change to android:

- I have major problems sending and recieving messages (think HTC is working on this..)

- I have wait times when I want to write an sms - up to a minute (also a known universal problem with too many sms'es in your inbox)

- The "dictionary AI" is very, very bad compared to my HTC Hero

- Volume control is very buggy

- No good flash support like on my old Hero

- No good google- calender, email or youtube integration like on Hero

- No Android market with innovative apps like wikitude and ebuddy(facebook chat and good msn app + other im in one)

- no hardkeys for multitasking

I also want to mention that I need to softreset my HD2 once or twice a day simply because some functions (bluetooth, ui, com. manager, etc..) messes up the phone to either freeze, become slow or leave some functions not working... I have never had these problems with my Hero.

It might sound like I hate 6.5, but it has some advantages like leaving more advanced options to fittle around with, remote desktop, wifi-router and stuff like that, so ofc it comes with a price to put android on the HD2 =)
[HD2 General] vangrieg:
Google services integration is the only thing in your list that's relevant, plus there's no Android market, which is a dubious loss. Everything else is either design decisions or bugs introduced by HTC and have nothing to do with WM. How in the world would Android add hardware keys for multitasking to HD2? I can't say I always resist following hypes successfully, but this is just ridiculous.
[HD2 General] DennisMoore:
Just throw your HD2 into the trashbin (or eBay ;)) and wait for HTC Dragon.

BTW: Don't you think youl could have more problems with a system that is constantly changing than with a system that is finished?

I made the expirience, that Linux-based systems can be a *****y thing too. Functions that work with one release don't work when you upgrade. I would (and I do) stick to WM because of that.
[HD2 General] docchris1980:
HTC is definitely working on the SMS problem... they've asked me to install logging software on my phone to help them identify the cause

As for the dragon, im afriad to say the instant the dragon is released my HD2 is going on ebay, the only reason i wanted it was because of the screen, and if there is an alternative, im getting it!
[HD2 General] nicelad_uk:
Yeah, I said that with the HTC Hero, which was a great device but Android is far from brilliant yet. Hopefully 2.0 will make things a lot better but don't you think most Android phones are just plain awful looks wise... Heres the Dragon v HD2

http://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/htc_hd2_htc_dragon-540x388.jpg

Looks, ill stick with HD2. Speed, i'd go with Dragon, but overall usability, i'll stick with the HD2.

People say the HD2 keyboard is poo, but so was the Hero's until the software update. Android is great, but its just too buggy at the minute and the fact a program can run in the background without you knowing and drain the battery in about 20 minutes is rubbish!

As the hardware is the same, I'm quite confident that when the Dragon is out, you'll see that port over to the HD2.
[HD2 General] Dr.Sid:
I'm thinking about Android .. task on background can ruin WM device too.

But does Android have good ebook reader ? Comic book reader ? AVI video player ? Good image viewer ? Control over data connection ? I'm afraid of these things ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radi0chik:
I know there are several apps out there that update twitter with the phone's GPS coords. Is there a WinMo app that does it for Facebook? I've messed with Loopt for blackberry, and that's the only program I've found that'll send a map location to FB. But I'm wanting to take my Tilt2 on vacation, and update my status with map or map coords/link on where I am. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jhw549:
Personally what I do is I use twitter and I have it auto-update to my facebook account. When I post a picture and/or location on twitter (or any other update for that matter) it goes straight to my facebook status message...

Just an idea...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radi0chik:
True but in order to do that, (I believe) I must have my twitter account un-protected. This means anyone anywhere could see where I am. Not that I'm paranoid, but I'm looking for something that'll go directly to FB so i can control even which FB groups can and cannot see it :) Thanks though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] biotron2000:
Glympse works well. If you have Facebook set up to accept text messages from your phone, it will post to your FB wall.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radi0chik:
Never heard of Glympse but it is kinda cool. Now if only I could update via email. Trying to use data only, not txts. Thanks!

o2 have supplied me the handset locked to the network even though I purchased it out of contract outright.

o2 need to fill out a form and send it to HTC which could take 28 days :(

[HD2 General] glewis101:
i ordered an unlock code from the web said 5 to 30 mins, that was 5 hours ago !! im still waiting:mad:........ i will let you know if and when it comes through.

first handset i think o2 have locked.

is there no such thing as an imei unlock code generator ?? how do all these websites do it ??

if anyone can unlock my HD2 quicker i will pay for it !
[HD2 General] panart:
Second in the google results is leo.unlock-now.com

I purchased the unlock code for my Touch HD (was locked on Orange) from blackstone.unlock-now.com
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
Did you ask o2 for it?

also can you name and shame the company you have just paid money to (and amount paid)
[HD2 General] glewis101:
Yes i did ask O2 for it they said it would be upto 28 days... and would cost me 15.00 pounds.

i paid 17.99 on MOBILEUNLOCKED.COM for a 5-30 mins service which i thought was worth the extra few pounds.

digging around a bit there are a few websites this guy runs (the contact info in it is the same) and the e-mails come from mobileunlocked.com
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
If they clearly sold you a phone without simlock, they must provide a device without simlock, it is as simple as that. If they are not willing to change it fast, I would give it back and get it somewhere else.

If they are customer friendly, they usually do have ways and solutions. A Samsung phone I had was unlocked in a service center within 10 minutes, my Xperia took the same way. I actually never "buy" phones through contractual down payments...
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
will let you guys know how I get on with leo.unlock-now.com
[HD2 General] Beefheart:
Nope, the early XDAs were locked.
[HD2 General] glewis101:
may well be right ! can't remember that far back !

What get gets me is that people quote a few minutes to unlock but then they do not getting back to you.

If i had an e-mail saying sorry it will be 24 - 48 hours then, at least i would know. (sorry to moan !)
[HD2 General] bydandie:
i've used leo.unlock-now.com as well, but put in the HD2 first rather than the HD2 T8585 (Which is the O2 one). Haven't heard back yet, but have sent an email to state what I did wrong. I'll let you know too! :)
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
mine is a T8585 as I have an o2 one.

also - can anyone with an o2 one find the screen allignment option? looks like o2 have basterdised the os a bit too much.

Anyone heard from their respective websites yet? I really doubt that a website will be able to unlock it over the insternet in "a few hours" when a phone provider has to send the information off to htc to get it done.

I have had bad experiences in the past trying to unlock sonys and nokias (not mine) :p and wouldnt use one again. Im sure there are very reliable sites out there but the ones I used which I researched before using just took my money then kept it for 2 days before saying that my phone couldnt be unlocked.

Freaky LOL

[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
Same boat..Used them, because I have been told by a reliable source that its one of the "big hitters" on this forum that operates the sites. The stated time for my code was also 5-30 mins.. Well 22 hours later (at time of post) I'm still waiting. Phoned the helpline number..The message telling you that no one there sounds like a joke. Ring it and you'll see what I mean. As you have mentioned if its going to be 2 days..says 2 days... O well, here's hoping.
[HD2 General] Bagpuss:
I used www.unlock-now.com for my HTC Hero when if first came out, and got a working unlock code within 20 minutes.

They did warn me that it could take up to 48 hours, depending on model.

It's this kind of thing that makes me glad I went with Vodafone. No software removed from the ROM, and the handset is unlocked.

Bagpuss.
[HD2 General] mskip:
Is there any branding on the vodafone model? Still waiting for HTC to send them more stock so I can order one :(
[HD2 General] Blartiartfast:
Been given a refund by them. O dear. Be wary of O2 handsets. 4 or 5 different servers all come back with code not found. 1st time I ever had a job sourcing a code for an htc. Any ideas anyone... Please
[HD2 General] Koolvin:
looks like ill have to wait for o2 then only 25 days to go for the code :(
[HD2 General] itoYo:
just to let you guys know! i got my HD2 for 360 quid, purchased from O2 outright! good deal i think! bummer its locked but i am o2 anyway so doesnt really bother me!
[HD2 General] glewis101:
really ????? i got mine from o2 outright for 272 quid... where you in a contract and bought as an extra upgrade ?

Back to the original topic of this thread... Still no info back from the website regarding the unlocking...... i have opened a dispute with paypal, and still no reply..
[HD2 General] mskip:
I think this soon after the phone has been relaesed only your provider will be able to give you the unlock code and i think even they have to send off the IMEI number to htc to get it done. Loads of sites are offering to unlock HD2's even on ebay but I dont know how they can do it.
[HD2 General] Bagpuss:
No branding on the Vodafone model at all, and all software is present and correct. So, YouTube is there (unlike the T-Mobile ROM) and so is the WiFiRouter (unlike the O2 ROM).

The fact that it's unlocked was the icing on the cake.

When I phoned HTC about the camera problem this week, they could tell from the serial number that it was Vodafone supplied, but in all other respects it's identical to the SIM free version.

Bagpuss.
[HD2 General] glewis101:
I Have asked O2 and they say about 28 days !!!... hence why i was looking for a quick fix. I think people just automatically assume they can get the code.

On another note my dispute has been closed and i have been given a refund, so just a case of the waiting game now.

If anyone else managed to get their unlock code from o2, can you post to say how long it took.
[HD2 General] mitchec1:
I was speaking to HTC today and they said the process is 25 days so o2 are adding 3 days at their end.

HTC confirmed you'd need to go through O2 to get this done though
