Hi folks,

Am a proud owner of a new HTC HD2 device with ROM Version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The phone works wonders in all departments (calling, surfing, mailing, etc) but I have one issue since earlier today...

Situation: I installed the SWYPE software for windows mobiles. It is a great piece of software - really ask anyone who has used it - I got addicted to it within seconds to tell you the truth.

Issue: After successful installation and choosing SWYPE as the keyboard, the system works for a few minutes then eventually freezes and has to be reset.

Question: Anyone been through this mini-nightmare? I call it this because for a while I was very happy since my dream came true but it was short lived. Now I have to resist from using SWYPE and all seems ok...

Please do help me out here... I want to really start swyping on my new phone but there seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed

Is this a ROM related issue, a hardware related issue or a software related issue? WHat is the solution? :confused:
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
What software have you got installed on the device? Also have you installed Memmaid yet to auto clear your memory and notifications queue which can also cause lockups?

I am using Swype with no issues at all. Having said that I'm on ROM 1.48 but I don't see why the rom version should be relevant here (I could be wrong).

Will try and keep my eye on this thread but pm me if you need further help.

[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
Firsy and fpremost thanks for your super quick response.

Now, I don't use memmaid but CleanRAM, which works pretty well without issues. Not sure it's a good idea to use more than 1 memory management software. I've replied to your post using my hd2 but this time not using the swype software and guess what... no crashes.

I'm about to try and uninstal & reinstall SWYPE to restablish whether that helps...
[HD2 General] Gustopher:
I am getting occasional and intermittent lock ups which I have to admit I am attributing to Swype. I had it installed a few weeks back and had a few lock ups but until installing the sensitivity 3.2 CAB recently I found it hard to work with so took it off. The lock ups effectively stopped.

After installing the screen sensitivity fix I decided to give it another go as I liked the concept. This time it is unutterably brilliant, especially for longer and more complex words - staggeringly good...seriously. The speed I can manage is astonishing.

However, I'm back to experiencing occasional lock ups - perhaps one every two or three days.

I'm about to look at updating my ROM with a custom one and have no plans to ditch Swype.

I'm sorry I can't offer anything more helpful by way of a solution, but I can at least confirm that there may be an issue there. I'll report back if anything interesting happens post-ROM upgrade.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Hmm,

Don't know much about Clean Ram but I would advice a tool that cleans the ram AND the notification queues, etc.

Re Swype, are you sure you have installed the version for the HD2, ie WVGA? Also have you set Swype to be your default keyboard using a utility called Sip Change to be found here on XDA?

WB
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
Would really appreciate your posting the links to the mentioned versions of swype and tools required... I've just uninstalled SWAYPE and will install the correct version & required tools too as soon as you post the links and test the mobile out before going to bed.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Look in the Development & Hacking forum. Actually, better still, use this to search the whole of XDA...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=598952

Works pretty well. You are Looking for "Sip Change" and "Swype WVGA". If you can't find them let me know and I will see what I can do tomorrow.

WB
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
Thanks for your feedback. We seem to have a few things in common. They include...

1. Installation of SWYPE resulting in freezing the HD2 (or lockups if you prefer)

2. Uninstalling does stabilise the device HD2

Well, as far as I'm concerned there might be a problem here, but then our friend wacky.banana confirmed that swype works well on his HD2...so why ont on our's?

I have a mission...getting to the bottom of this mystery...
[HD2 General] doubleburgerbarr:
I can confirm that swype work great on my HD2 also, I'm runniing swype, sipchange, sense & spbshell together, and though not really stable (a reboot every couple of days) works fine most of the time. The reboots are probably not as a result of swype, it just appears it's common with windows phones, and somehting I'll have to live with. Stability is a BIG issue, especially when compared to my old iphone, in 18 months that needed a reboot less than 10 times, the hd2 needs that or more in a month.
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
Ok... just installed the wvga version of swype one the xda site and this text is typed... oopsswyped using the software. Now all I have too do is play with the device and find out what happens next...

Will keep you guys posted...

Thanks for your reactions so far...
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
Alright guys here is the next installment of my monolog... lol

The tips by wacky.banana helped so far. I've managed to install the wvga version of swype followed by the sip change tool. The result is a greater degree of stability after an initial few minutes of nutty behavior by the device. Once I rebooted the mobile things stabilized.

The first battle has been won it would seem.Now we play the waiting game again...

All's well that ends well or a delayed case of disappointment? Only time will tell.
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
SlidezIT... Hmmm sounds like an option but before I embark on the adventure this is a demo version that dies on you (ends) after a trial period right?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
10dulkar,

Now that you have got it working I strongly suggest that you invest in Memmaid to manage your notification queue. If you have any more strange lock-ups it will almost certainly be down to that unless you have installed some incompatible/unstable software that causes you problems.

PM me if you want to know how to set it up.

WB
[HD2 General] 10dulkar:
E Nm,

Thanks for the tip/advice. Currently the device is stable with rom 1.43 (the original that the mobile came with) and cleanRAM works wonders; all this with swype installed of course.

They say, if it ain't broken don't fix it! Enough said really...

Thanks to you all your help and wish you ask lots of fun with you mobiles and a happy new year...
[HD2 General] spireite_uk:
I have a problem with the Swype keyboard not loading sometimes, and also locking out the little keyboard button, so I can not change my input keyboard. NOTE - the phone is operational other than this.

I am convinced it is Swype causing this, as when I have TouchPal set as my keyboard I do not get this issue - however after using Swype, it's really hard to go back to a 'tapping' keyboard, it's so SLOW. Does anyone think installing SipChange will fix this problem, or are there any similar keyboards out there that challenge Swype?
[HD2 General] BeatPoet:
Swype is a bad idea in general for the HD2. I'm completely locked out of mine and can't even do a hard reset.
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
That's probably due to you installing leaked versions from other devices. You can register for a Beta release of Swype on their website, as I think they intend to release it soon as a standalone app.
[HD2 General] lbhocky19:
i got the us hd2 from tmo which comes preloaded with swype and i can say that texts in general seem to be an issue but mostly when swype is turned on.

if i get too many texts at once and try to use the messaging app it can freeze up sense but i am able to get into the start menu.

sometimes even if just one message comes in if i type to quickly with swype it does the same.

im blaming the combo of swype and the sense messaging app
[HD2 General] Xaddict:
Freeze issue cause

Strangest thing.

I too love swype.

I've tried TMOUS 2.10 stock, Duttys, HTC-like swype, PPC Geeks TMOUS extracted swype.

All give me issues of freezing etc, especially when in text msgs.

HOWEVER, in TMOUS stock rom, when frozen, if I take out the 16Gb sd card, instant unfreeze???

I put in an older 2Gb sd card, and no problems!!!

Deleting application data on 16Gb sd does not help.

Am doing more experiments.
[HD2 General] larrytango:
Swype is amazing .. when it works.

i have tried the v2 version and experienced issues with camera (which i can only assume are because of swype as i havent had the issue since not using that version) which stopped the cam from initialising then eventually cam resetting to defaults?? with low res and white screen when taken a picture - since no solution was available i had to hard reset (this happened about 4 times)

i then installed (and still use) the version 3.9 and the camera issue no longer exists however a really annoying bug occurs sometimes the keyboard takes a long time to work, if i go to reply to a text and the convo is quite big, swype will not let me reply untill its fully loaded the texts (im assuming this.. its very similar to what sms txting was like b4 the sms fix update) if i switch to any other keyboard i can type fine , switch back and still have to wait.

i heard SwipeIT was almost identical, and thus went and bought it (maybe i should have tried the demo) and im not impressed, swype is far superior. im used to doing the loop for repeated chars and you dont do that on swipeIT (if you do it gets confused) , swype gets 99% of what i type and swipeIT seems to not understand more than it does. however swipeIT does not have the bug for sms convo replies so i keep it installed (that and i payed for it so its staying haha)

i accidently installed v2 of swype yesterday when i hardreset and tested the sms and was so happy that the bug was gone (As i didnt realise it was v2) , im tempted to put v2 back on and risk the camera bug

rant over ha
[HD2 General] alex fung:
I found v2 reasonably stable, and 3.9 hangs all the time (by hang, I mean it freezes more than 5 seconds and none of the hard buttons has a response).

I was just intending to try SlideIT. Did you try the HD2 compatible version (4.1 I suppose) or the 3.x ones?
[HD2 General] alex fung:
Seems the beta is only for Android.
[HD2 General] larrytango:
i downloaded it from the SlideIT from the website only 2 days ago Full Version 4.1.0.3.

yeah the full freeze and nothing responsive is the problem i have that i mainly notice on sms replies

edit: forgot to say one thing slideIT does that really annoys me (and i dunno a solution...) is it puts a space automatically after @ etc (there is an option for automatic space and that is switched off) so i type me@ myemail. com then have to delete the spaces.

you have to basically add the words to the dictionary then when i want my email swipe memyemailcom to auto type it in, same goes for web addresses so wgoglecom for www.google.com , and have to add all the addresses etc that u use.
[HD2 General] MikeASU09:
Have you had any progress as far as finding a fix?

Why is this the ONLY keyboard method that requires messages to load before it can work!?

Tried the same thing, with no luck. Have you progressed in your experimentation?
[HD2 General] rexboy:
Ive used Swype for a while now, v3.9 gave me nothing but problems, wouldnt load the dictionary etc. Based on various forums it seems its plagued with many problems, so reverted back to v2.0 (omnia version). Doesnt look as nice with slightly smaller buttons but i believe its faster, more accurate and with a skin, it looks good as well however i do get the occasional lockup or more importantly, you just cant type. It wont let you select a keyboard as well so only a soft reset fixes this even though the phone functions normal besides this.

Tried SlideIT on and off so many times but persisted with it and its actually not bad once you get the hang of it. I still believe Swype is more accurate as its more forgiving but SlideIT is faster, responds faster, double looping on letters really isnt necessary as it generally finds the word i want (for me anyway) and i like how you can add abbreviations to the dictionary so you can easily add passwords, email addresses by sliding over a few characters.

Unlike Swype its much smaller as well in terms of installation space but its not much to look at, needs a cool skin.

Although even using SlideIT sometimes it wont allow me to type anything so im not sure if Swype being simply installed on my phone is creating this problem.

My Wifi sometimes locks up my phone as well so yeah there are a few bugs to resolve.
[HD2 General] imakul8:
I don't text much, but I did today because I tried Swype and loved it. I was actually texting people for the hell of it. I noticed that whenever I was in a threaded conversation and the notification would sound that I had a new text, it would not show in the thread. I had to back out the thread and reenter it to see the new text. I don't know if to blame this on Swype or not since I have no reference. I did not have a load of texts to slow it down as I constantly delete them. My Swipe came preinstalled. Is this a known issue unrelated to Swype?
[HD2 General] cwjones:
I too am seeing this problem where the Swype interface seems to hang up for a significant amount of time when trying to reply to an SMS message. It's pretty much the ONLY situation I've encountered the long delay.

Anyone?
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
I'm using v3.19.20.20.6343 and it's been great so far. Really FAST. Much faster compared to v2.0. As a matter of fact i've been using v3.10.xx earlier to this and that was great too.

It could possibly have something to do with the ROM you are using.
[HD2 General] pr0necr0:
Had the same problem. Press the input button and click "text input settings" and make sure the 3 XT9 settings are off. seems to me like Swype doesnt like competing with it and causes it to freeze. my HD2 runs beautifully now.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Yo guys

Finally its done my CDMA Hero Theme, i made it for the HTC Hero but as a request i made it for the CDMA Hero.

Anyways download link:

Click!

BTW i dont have a CDMA hero so be careful! And tell me how it works out!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] infinityhombre:
Was hoping to get this... sadly I get a symlink failure on install
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Symlink errors on a theme? Odd. I'm going to grab it and check out his update script.

Edit: Yea, the update script included with this theme is a full on script required for a rom. I could redo the script and resign it but I'm sure mikey will fix it. :)

In the mean time you can easily use my pre-kitchen (check my sig) to install it because it doesn't require a valid signature or update script on the theme installer. I'm not making any promises that his theme works on the CDMA phone, he also warned the same thing. But you can try it with the theme installer in the pre-kitchen.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
is it in english?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Yea, it should be. The text is controlled by Rosie and is just overlayed on top of the images. His screen shots just aren't because his phone isn't. :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
same here

going to try to flash it from the fresh kitchen and post results..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
froze phone in kitchen(htc screen), this theme is too hard to get on your phone
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
this is my theme-debug.txt from the kitchen

cannot stat '.\temp\system\app': No such file or directory

cannot stat '.\temp\system\framework': No such file or directory

? :(

then it reboots normally, with my old theme still here. weird
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Are you using the 0.1b update for the kitchen? That should fix that issue. Trying not to threadjack. ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] lv2bll:
i hangs at htc screen after kitchen install and i have the 0.1b patch
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] thedudejdog:
yes sir i am.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mkeyslehman:
From the screenies it looks like most (if not all) of the work is in Rosie, and porting is easy. I can take a crack at this if you like, it looks really straightforward to me.

But tomorow, or I'll have an unhappy wife. :cool:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Hahaha im so stupid guys i know what i did wrong haha

Im uploading the right one now XD
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mcdroid:
Looking forward to this theme..

while flashing from zip:

Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

Installing update...

E:Can't symlink /system/bin/getevent

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Yeah we know im fixing it right now, i know what the problem is..
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
Done Updated it! pls check if it works!
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 702DROID:
installed it with the fresh kitchen ...says it installed but when it finished rebooting nothing was changed :(
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Rootwind:
Doesn't appear to... stuck in a boot loop (reboots on the HTC animation).
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
huh thats strange it should work, how did you guys install it?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Rootwind:
Installed it from the recovery image.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
so flash file.zip? and it didnt work ? wtf
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Rootwind:
Yeah, it flashed successfully but boot loops.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
what rom are you running on?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 702DROID:
im running fresh rom and i installed it with the kitchen and no bootloop but nothing changed
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
i made it with the Unofficial apk's maybe thats why, could somebody try that?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
I just manually pushed it (only did rosie, didn't get to the framework) and rosie wouldn't load. What do you mean unofficial apk's?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
this! is what i mean
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
Unless he did something to the apk's that I don't know about, they should work just fine. Although in 1.3a release notes he said "shuffled some apk's around" which I'm not sure what that means. But his should work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
hmm well i used those apks.. thnx for testing btw:P i dont have a CDMA version ahha
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mkeyslehman:
Are you sure you packaged the correct APKs? I opened it up to have a look at the files, and they're all stock.

My guess is you re-packaged the stock APKs without adding any of your changes. ;)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Mikeytjee:
hmm i thought i changed them lets c heck
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tom3k:
It does not work out yet!

so as far as i have gathered from both personal experience with this theme and the feedback given for it on this thread its safe to say this does not work yet with the cdma fresh hero rom and will cause your phone to go into a looping boot sequence. please advise or update on status of this project soon. hearing good things the theme from original before this attempted port so its hopefully its going to be as cool. thnx
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] 702DROID:
didnt work for me but also didnt put my phone into a bootloop
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] songoghon:
bump

Bump,

cuz i want this theme!!!

I haev a mytouch andwith 1.33.0007 SPL and I was wondering if I need to root it before I can load the Cyanogen recovery image. I've tried everything to load the sappimg.nbh but it gives me a 'main version is older' error. thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IsmailBhai:
anyone? please help
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
yes you need to root to do this. that's the whole point, so you can flash a recovery image and get root access.

I recommend 1 click root because it's the easiest.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] IsmailBhai:
thanks for the answer. the 1click doesnt let me do a backup with flashrec
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] diagoro:
I've found this happening in all three browsers (opera, IE and skyfire). An example would be writing this post which takes place in a 'text box'. As I'm typing the actual text is invisible, only the progressing cursor lets me know there's progress.At various, random times the text might appear when moving to a new paragraph, but it's random.

The last message I tried ended up being jumbled, sentences were mixed up within each paragraph!

Anyone else? I've not had any confirmation of this from other help sources. I'm using the ATT version, on my third one and it's occurred on each device!

+1 on ct scheduler. its $13.00 but very worth it for scheduling texts and other features.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] x25064:
Hello all. I am going to pick up an Omnia from a friend of mine in exchange for my current phone. This is not my first experience with winmo but I have not had any in-dept time with it either. I am going to need someone to help me out, as I am not familiar with all the basic things that one needs to do in order to get the final product I am looking for.

Here is what I'd like to do to the phone:

Run Manila 2D (essentially make my phone an HTC clone)

Run some kind of screen lock slider, preferably identical to that of the iphone

Install a new keyboard (spb or resco)

My first question before I get into anything else is -- Is this possible to run all of these modifications, or when running Manila is it impossible to run anything else? I have a 2 GB storage card, and the knowhow to install cab files and such. Still details would be much appreciated.

Concerning Manila 2d -- I have read that once installed there is still a hefty amount of tweaking to do, is this still the case, or has most of the tweaking been handled in the newest version? (nuances I've read such as threaded messages being recognized as "read" etc) Also does one need anything preinstalled in order to run it properly? What other tweaks will I need in order to take full advantage of Manila 2d? (commanager etc)

I understand there are stickys and previous information for this sort of topic, but most are written for those with a little more in-depth knowledge of winmo and applications thereof. (for example I do not know what commmanager is etc) So I need someone to just give me a brief rundown as well as cover all of the basic must haves for the Omnia

Thank you all I understand this may be tedious but I appreciate any and all help.
