What exactly do you mean by "stop ActiveSync from starting automatically"? Do you mean to stop it from running at boot or stop syncing items?

If the later, to stop it from syncing, just chose "Menu", "Schedule" and select "Manually".

If you mean to stop it from starting at boot, I have no idea...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
If you mean stop it synching automatically when you connect it to teh PC, go settings - menu - all settings - connections - USB to PC and fiddle with the settings in there. You can have the pc automatically see it as a USB disk, or ask you every time you connect, etc.
[HD2 General] bronek:
Thank guys for quick response. I mean to stop it completely. I don't need it at all (Linux on desktop, MacOS on the laptop :) ). The best option for me would be possibility to uninstall it (I need to learn how to cook then :) ). I tried "fake server method" to switch off scheduled activesync activation. It is working on my sister's HD perfectly but unfortunately not on HD2 .
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
In that case just use USB to PC and set it to disk mode automatically, and it simply wont start activesync.
[HD2 General] bronek:
Believe me it will. Activesync is working in the background all the time. When you switch it off it will be back. I'm a purist. I just don't like useless things.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
how odd,I unplugged mine from the pc twenty minutes ago and as is currently not running, neither in programs or processes. after a soft reset still doesn't show up until I plug it into the pc and select as instead of disk.

oh well guess I'm just lucky , hehe, best of luck.
[HD2 General] bronek:
Yes, you are. Maybe it's because of SONE Rom?

I've got it back after each system restart for example.
[HD2 General] adnguyen:
hi,

so then, there is no good solution for this pb ?
[HD2 General] malybru:
Hi,

Try this.

On your PC go to start ->run and type msconfig.

On the startup tab uncheck wcescomm,apply,close and restart PC.

That will stop it starting up with each reboot. :)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You can also go into control panel and find your startup menu and take it of of startup. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] N1c0_ds:
I'm getting it in a few minutes at the post office and I'd like some quick advice...

FIRST STEPS

What should I do in order after the unboxing?

ROOTING

Best way to do so? Tips and tricks?

RECOMMENDED ROM

Best stable ROM for an Treo + iPod Touch switcher?

GAMES

Picked my top software, a lot of games, but I'd enjoy some advice on good games to try. I'd love Snake as on the old Nokias, without the obstacles.

OTHER TIPS?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
First steps: Set up your google account. Transfer all your contacts from your sim card onto the phone and allow it to sync with the google account so it will be there once you have set everything up.

Best way to root: The unlockr's one click root. There are videos on youtube and the unlockr.com all the instructions are there as well as the videos. You will have to downgrade to 1.5 from the 1.6 that it will more than likely come with, but the unlockr's site will show you how to do that as well.

Best rom: In my opinion it would be Cyanogen's latest in the dream forum (4.2.9.1). Many others will also agree with me.

Games: Free games just look in the market once you have everything set up and look at the top free games. There are some really good ones. Some of the paid ones are also well worth the money. In the free section, there is a snake game, so you're in luck!

Other tips: When rooting your phone, READ TWICE, THEN DO ONCE! Also, consider upgrading your memory card from the 4gb class 2 that comes with it to a class 6 card. Oh and if you are going to immediately root the phone, don't download any games as you will lose them all once you root your phone. Oh and if you plan on downloading a ton of apps, you might want to partition your sd card, or if you plan on running a sense, or hero rom, or if you are going to be taking advantage of linux swap.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] N1c0_ds:
A few more questions:

Do you recommend Hero or Eclair ROMS?

As for the ROM version, where can I find this? It turns out the post office doesn't have it yet (should be there monday), but I'd like to take advance on downloading what's needed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
I have used Hero roms and i love them, but they are no where nearly as quick as a modified stock rom like cyanogen. Our phones simply do not have enough ram to allow it to keep up with it. Eclair roms are considerably quicker than hero roms, but they do not have camera/video recording working at the moment. So if that doesn't bother you go for it.

The Cyanogen rom is located in the dream android development. You can download it from there, as well as Eclair roms like Eugene373's or manup456's. Those are the best 32B in my opinion.

If you wanna try a hero rom, I suggest the sensehero, also located in dream, or qtek's that's located here in the sapphire android development section.

Thank you, i sure hope you also enjoy your weekend!

Actually stupid i didn't put Cheetah on mijnbestand.nl since this is only fast for Dutch users. Failed to remember this Cheetah is Dutch and only Dutch users will download it :o

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] ken_wood:
Well, thank you very much for this great ROM. It's my first, actually. One thing I noticed is that de title of the tab 'Muziek' is in CAPITALS, while the other titels only have the first letter in capital.

I'am not complaining, it's only something I noticed :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] patensas:
Well the Muziek tab in capitals is one thing i also noticed, but i noticed it in many others, think this is HTC standard.

Glad you like this rom, do come back for new releases.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] JHonDr:
Rom is great. Runs now almost a day and no bugs ar found. What i notice but i never used it before is that power point is missing. I'm happy and will ad this rom to the phone of a friend. He want only a dutch rom that is working fine.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] patensas:
Good to hear you enjoy this one.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] Nico van der Linden:
The Rom, is very great! I love the dutch version since I do not want to play around with cabs for the T9 keyboard. I haven't noticed any bugs yet and the bluetooth is indeed working again :-) Thanks so far and I will bookmark this page to see if there are interesting future updates.

By the way, anyone who can explain what the best way is to keep a ROM as fast as possible? I mean, what type of actions slow down the speed of the ROM? E.g. does it matter how many applications you install on the storage card or will that only matter when they always run in the background? Does the amount of contacts matter, etc etc...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] BumAround:
all of those adds up to slow the phone down little by little, I believe (number of apps installed, number of apps installed on the storage card and what type of storage card, apps running in the background, number of contacts, numbers of text messages, etc.)... also like if the phone is searching for signal in weak spot areas while you're in the middle of an app.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] patensas:
Good to hear you like Cheetah 2.1 NL Actually i always want to try new releases but i think i will pass for now since i also like this one :D Still some things that need some attention so i`m working on it.

There's lots of thing that can slow down your rom, installing applications can, lots of messages can but i never noticed a huge amount of contacts can. But maybe that's because i only have 211 contacts listed?! For me this project is a way to create a rom version providing in basic needs so everyone can choose what they do and don't install.

A lot of applications update on regular base so installing by .cab is preffered over cooking them into the Rom. That`s why i`m using 2nd post for .cab add-ons.

I guess it's just a matter of testing things out and see what happens, if an application does slow down the rom you can always uninstall :rolleyes:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] poowe893:
I have some question .

1.How to hard reset after flashing.

2.How about RAM and Memory for this ROM.

3.How to calibrate battery.

Thank you so much.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] patensas:
Hardreset:

1. With the Touch Diamond2 switched off, press the volume up and down buttons simultaneously.

2. Keeping them pressed, press power button to turn Topaz on.

3. Release the volume buttons when a message flashes up to say, “This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.”

4. Press the volume up button.

Ram and Mamory:

Actually i failed to look, since my device is loaded with things i like it wouldn't be right to tell you abour Ram and Memory right now. I would say give it a go, this rom is nice and fast. Let me know how about the Ram and memory.

Or you can wait untill it's flashing time once again and i will tell.

Calibrate Battery:

1. discharge the battery completely (by playing video, audio, etc.)

2. Remove the battery and wait about 1min then place it back (do not power on the phone)

3. Full Charge the phone, wait when LEDs turns green (do not power on the phone)

4. When fully charged - remove the battery (do not power on the phone)

5. Wait about 1 min then place the battery to the phone and now you can power it on.

This is the way i'm used to do it.

When you do a search on XDA you'll find different ways to do it, all with their own pros and cons. I would say it's your choice.

Good luck!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure ROM Development] thysone:
Indeed. :) Let's hope it starts to work soon!

To go back on topic, I'm going to give this rom a go. Judge our friend patensas his work. :)
