In the goldcard thread post 74 there is a simple tool which works in XP so you can try it with your sys. PS you need to be connected via activesync in both.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] suicidal.banana:
Assuming your talking about this topic, post #74 isnt what you describe, nor is post #74 in this thread.

Besides, i only have access to a pc with 64bit vista, which cant even run activesync since it has 'device central' integrated.

Any1 know a method for vista? (besides installing xp :rolleyes:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] counterfitninja:
I have windows 7 x64 and it all works fine, Device central is just the upgrade on active sync, it all just worked when i plugged mine in
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] suicidal.banana:
hmm odd, whats your device called? i renamed mine to 'HTC_HD2', the storage card is simply called 'Storage Card' and is one from i think 'integral', its 2GB formatted as fat32, though in vista and on the phone its saying the card is 1,87GB

I got a card with the phone (with copilot trail) from sandisk, will try with that one now, might work better somehow

Also, is it supposed to take a while or does it give the SD Serial & Disk ID right after u press the button?

welp

i've been using 1.61 for a couple days now, and i can attest to the improved battery life

I came from stock 1.48 and i would last probably 1 day on normal usage (couple calls, texts, light browsing, and photo taking)

But man, with 1.61, exact same things, but in ONE day i only dropped 30%!

So im at 70% battery life today !

Amazing!

But my only 1 thing i notice is that calendar background being a funny colour...apparently im the only one seeing it, but its definitely there. Either that or i never noticed it in 1.48

Basically if u go to Month view and select a day without an appointment, you can look at your "grey background", and in the middle you'll notice a PIXELATED "dome" of a different colour...its hard to explain. I wish i could show it in a screenshot

Ive confirmed it only shows in Calendar...so its not too big of a deal.

Anyways, glad i upgraded to 1.61!

Follow the Goldcard method for the first time (didnt use the hexeditor, just wrote the image file with QMAT) and it was super simple.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richie_jones:
Get yourself the program called "shake and save" and you can post up the screenshot...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bouloama:
Which is included in BSB Tweaks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bakedbread:
^

Thanks guys! I realized BSB tweaks had it after i was playing around with it earlier too.

**backstory - i upgraded to 1.61 and started seeing this btw

So i took a screenshot of my calendar and 1 of my SMS tab.

I dont know if it's clear to see, but i tried to point it out cause the screenshot quality isnt great - but even though the quality is terrible, i hope you can still see what im trying to point out

It's really clear when you look at it on my screen in the Calendar tab - s like a dome of off colour pixels...and it makes the text kinda fuzzy and unclear

**EDIT - i'm trying to point out whats BELOW the red line

If you look at my SMS tab, the background is fine. It's a clear, clean, Grey colour, unlike the Calendar tab

Does anyone else see this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richie_jones:
are the pixels red that are off colour, i`m struggling to see what your talking about
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vangrieg:
Bakebread, change your background image and you're set. :)

What in the world does it have to do with 1.61 ROM though, for goodness sake? Was this thread announced as a dumpster for all kinds of questions?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bakedbread:
noo, its BELOW the red line i mean

that whole chunk of those funny pixels

Sorry to offend anyone, but i dont even know if its related to 1.61.

All i know is that I started seeing it in 1.61 - and it must have been much more noticable because it never caught my eye in 1.48

I tried changing backgrounds before but nothing really worked.

Again, its not a huge problem for me, but something I noticed and wanted to share.

Thanks though!

no radio either

i flashed this rom over the weekend and it didn't change my radio either. don't see it being an issue, cause when i would flash roms on my hd it wouldn't change the radio either. most of the cooks in that forum didn't add radios. you had to flash radio seperate. so far it has been working good. no freezing or lock ups.

I bought a french Leo, changes software to german with goldcard.

I'm not sure if I should now update to 1.61, because of the following:

- I'll lose again the german language

- I don't know the changelog and if it makes sence to update.

- does some more experiences user know how long we have to wait for a german release after the WWE?

I already lost my Diamond trying almost every week a new Rom :-/

I got now my leo two days ago with french software (yes we have some french speaking people here in switzerland and the french Leo's already arrived, but no german ones ... so I had no other possibility than reflash or wait for german one) :-)

Htc hd2 1.61 rom stock tur-wwe

Hello everyone.

My first post. 1st I would like to thank everyone on this forum for all the valuable input and tips you all provide. Very much appreciated.

I have the standard stock UK unlocked HD2 which has the stock 1.4 xx rom and this was terrible at holding signal and randomly switched between H,3G,EDGE. This rom was also a bit buggy and the phone randomly locked up at times and hanged.

I used the goldcard method yesterday to flash to the 1.61 rom TUR-WWE. I can for sure confirm the signal strength is much more stable and the phone does not fluctuate that much between the different speed ratings. A marked improved guranteed. I work in the technology area and do a lot of testing on these products.

The phone also seems a bit more smoother than before. I will do some through checks in the next few days and report any more findings. I live in central london where the vodafone signal is very good and prior to the update I had the issues mentioned above.

Once again , thanks a great forum.

Imran
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] m999bos:
Mine has a total of: 178.36 after 1.61 using goldcard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PavPev:
Worked like a charm, thanks for the help everyone!

I mainly did it to see if it would resolve the SMS sending delay problem (not the one where it sits in the outbox, or the loading delay; the one where it just doesnt get to its destination for hours or not at all!) and it seems to have done so!!! I installed all the programs I had before and restored my contacts and it's still working fine!

let's just hope i wont be posting a follow-up in an hour saying it's stopped working again...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
Flashed yesterday, no issue so far, it works like charms!

I have to admit that's the best I ever tried till now, fast and stable, maybe the 2.02 is better than this, but "naked", not in the available test version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Adita:
Vysus,

Did you use goldcard or HSPL? I tried using the HSPL and it didn't work, complaining about the wrong vendor ID (that is if I haven't made any mistakes). It somehow appeared to be able to erase HSPL and revert back to SPL 1.42.0000. My HD2 came from T-Mobile UK.

Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
I used hard SPL.

Have you read carefully all these instructions?

Probably no, 'cause it worked immediately for me.

Or maybe you have SPL 1.42.666 on the device
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Adita:
Thank you for your quick answer. I did read the instructions carefully, but maybe I made a mistake. I'll give it another go, hopefully it'll work this time.

Cheers!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
You're welcome :)

You may use the SSPL
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Adita:
Thank you for your suggestion, but I want the radio as well :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wotsreallygood:
Just wondering if anyone else finds the keyboard cursor flies about the place when you're texting on this ROM?

I didnt really have this problem when I was on .143

So far after using it for 2 days, it does seem stable, there is a weird thing though when its trying to come out of the message app it seems to lock up.

I might try .148 to see what thats like.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] -Vulture-:
To anyone who has flashed the ROM: Can you check if german is available as a manila language? You can see this in BsB Tweaks. Thanks!

This ROM is slower than the stock 1.43 shipped ! This should not be the case...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
Are you sure?

How many days have you been using it?

Have you applied the tweaks?

This ROM is very very good
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Xeon:
This ROM is obviously better than the 1.43 but absolutely not faster; I did apply all the tweaks but unfortunately didn't get an increased speed. I will have to see if there's any additional software affecting the performance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
Try to solve performing a HR, then re-install your SWs one by one.

Believe me:it's the best ever tried since I've got the Leo...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] psbb:
Confirm. Very good rom. Only sometimes sms problem. Don't need a custum rom. (till.......)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dfulgo:
...any chance it will be available via HTC any soon? I'm just wondering if I can avoid the HSPL thing...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wotsreallygood:
I found this ROM pretty quick, minor lock ups and freezing once in a while, however I found the keyboard terrible. Cursor kept jumping to the middle of the text you already typed, buttons either too sensitive or not registering at all.

This is with all the tweaks as well.

I decided to downgrade to .148 with the updated Radio.

So far typing is better. And Im surprised its stable as everyone says they've had problems, if only it was as fast as the .161.

There should really be a thread to compare peoples thoughts on ROMs.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] romac:
Sorry but I have to disagree, this ROM is very fast. But it still does not solve the poor in call quality at the high frequency for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaiden0000:
I've found that this Rom is simply the best, works very smooth, no hang ups. The only issue is the SMS problem of not sending my dam text when i send them.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
I disagree with you, which kind of "system" do you use? Classic or threaded?

Menu -> Settings -> Options, in "conversation mode" works great
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gaiden0000:
Yea, i am using Conversation mode all the time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
So, reason for the issue should be your provider.

Anyway, try this way: go to message tab - all messages -menu - settings - options, then check if validity period "network setting" is selected.

Anybody having camera pink issue under low light condition with this ROM ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] retrofred:
so far the best

i am really happy with this rom. i have been downloading the custom roms from the cools i followed with hd, but cant really find a reason to flash. the stock 1.61 runs fast and the sms sending doesn't seem be effecting me. as for pink camera issue, haven't seen that yet. the only thing i have done is remove co-pilot and google maps. re-added google maps with the latest 3.3.1 version. removing co-pilot was a must cause i don't use the hd2 like that. have in dash nav in my car.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stuart-buchy:
Could I ask you how you removed co-pilot and gmaps, I was happy with this rom but wanted to install the latest co-pilot I had purchased but couldn’t as the one that came with it kept messing things up?

I seem to be experiencing two small bugs with this ROM and I'd like to ask if anyone else is having the same issues (basically I'm trying to figure out if the issues are to do with the ROM or with third party apps).

I've been able to set up various email accounts just fine and the emails can be sent and recieved but if when a new email arrives I want to view it fully I can't tap the manila tab screen I have to go into the inbox and the select and view the email that way.

Secondly if I am in the middle of a call and I want to go to speakerphone by placing the handset facedown on the table it doesn't work (and I can't find the setting to enable it in this ROM).

Any suggestions welcomed...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
First: did you performed a HR after you've upgraded to this release?

If yes, what you wrote I remember happened with the stock 1.48 ROM, but not using this one so far.

I have to say that some SWs I had then are not present now, so maybe the issue happens due to some of that you've installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Bariša:
Oh yes, this is a well known funny bug. Go to start and tap lock in the left corner. It fixes two bugs, autolock and fully view of emails. :)

Just installed 161 today and made a few phonecalls. Soundwise no or not much improvement. So I notice no real differences from 1.48, except for the Turkish language :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vysus:
You said you've installed today, which time?

You may talk about differences after using it for several hours, not after "a few phonecalls", don't you?

I come from the 1.48, it sucks, this one rocks, infact all the cookers are using it

Audio_manager crashing on 1.61

Hi,

thanks for making the 1.61 available. Got a Leo from Vodafone NL and only realized after that that Vodafone does not provide updates.

Pink camera haze problem is significantly lower than on previous FW.

Only two problems:

- audio_manager crashes when I want to play audio. regardless from where I start the player

- syncing google apps through activesync gives error 0x80004005. is probably not related to FW version.

anyone having the audio_manager issues?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chutneylad:
OK I have installed this rom yesterday and everything is sweet apart from one thing. When I installed the Rom I first set the Language to English and then Regional settings (In Settings) to English(United Kingdom). Now on the phone the clock shows me my location in the UK fine with a pretty good indication of the weather but I noticed that the time was out of sync by 2 hours.

If I go into the Date & Time option and then into Local time settings the City is set to Athens/Istanbul and to set the correct time I have to do it manually. The City option is greyed out and can't be changed.

I have my Location Service settings switched to on and also have HTC location service checked.

Any ideas ? This is a great Rom btw apart from this annoying bug. After reading through the whole thread I am really surprised that no one else seems to have had the same issue !

EDIT : In fact every time I reset the phone it changes the clock back to Turkish time but my location on the home screen shows my current one !

EDIT2 : OK seem to have sorted it. I created a time zone nearby (Manchester for me) and then reverted back to my location and all is well even after a reset !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mindcandy:
