Ok, good luck! Let me know how it goes...;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SportsFans:
Hey all, been searching for day's now to no avail. I have changed from the at&t wallpaper to one of the stock available wallpaper that came with the phone "Smoke" , but it seems more than just a wallpaper because not only does the wallpaper change it changes the slider, clock, and all icons on the touch flow bar on the home (today screen) which I like much. The problem is that as soon as I slide away from the home (today screen) postion It reverts back to the at&t wallpaper and theme on all other screens and tab. The Smoke theme stays for a half second then it seems that it is over ridden by the at&t theme. Is there a way to make the "Smoke" theme stay for all screen, tabs and fully turn off the at&t theme with possibly a reg edit? The "Smoke" theme seems to be there but over ridden.

TIA

HD WALL

You need to search the HD Wall thread. It explaines exactly what you need to do in the first couple of posts. It is a very long continuous thread with tons of custom wallpapers. Just do a little reading and you will find it in there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SportsFans:
Hey thanks thebigrhinoone for a speedy reply. Yup I've been over to the HD WALL thread looking this, but I took another look and it looks like it's not going to be a simple regedit. Also I've heard that the actual quality (how the screens look) isn't that great with HDWALL. Well thanks, I will educate myself to the HDWALL app and see what I come up with. Thanks

I dont wanna brick my phone, i want no custom themes/icons, but i want the newest stuff, stable, and fast.

What rom is the best for me?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ZeuBug:
I'm tired to see this kind of post...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mracket:
You should try some out and find the one that suites you. If you are worried about bricking the phone than don't install a custom ROM on it. I have used several the last week or so and of course I have a favorite ROM as well but the choice is individual.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Stoferr:
Actually, I would like to know this too.. Im all new to this world of custom ROMs, and I fid it hard to see precisely what everything does, and what makes it uniqe.. For a newb like me, this is indeed hard.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] richie_jones:
Give hime some credit....80 plus posts not bad, maybe migrated from another device...

If you don`t want to risk bricking your phone then simple NO FLASH NO RISK....

IF you want all the lastest stuff pick a rom you like the contents of....

Personaly i`m on miri at the mo, Might give NRG a try when its released...

Once you start flashing you`ll get the buzz and you`ll want the latest revision all the time....

Good luck, and there`s allways some one willing to help out,

Next time i`d tag your question onto an allready running post about best roms, Do a search and try not to start a new thread....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mracket:
I am new to it all as well, but didn't have keept me from trying out 5 different roms and I am trying a few more when they are released as well.

The best roms i have tested is the Topix 1.1 and the XT Pandora 1.0 which I am using now. The thing I like about them both is the are really fast and responsive. The Pandora rom has more software installed from the start which can be both good and bad. The collection of apps in pandora suits me well, the topix had to get a few pieces of software installed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Ultimaex:
Admins and many people dont like topics like that because they bring us to endless discussions. Some people are fan of that rom others are fan of another one and start to 'battle' here.

As far as i know there are five or six roms around here. Thats not to much to try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sakiin:
As everyone else said don't flash if you are scared! if you read well and follow instructions there is no reason you brick your device ...

If you are:

1. Looking for stable and fast 6.5 ROM I reccomend Miri

2. Looking for stable and fast 6.5.x ROM with menubar at the bottom try Maati
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] David Balfour:
so do what the rest of us do and test. I tried 4 ROMs the first day SSPL was released and have now settled on my fav. People who have been flashing for a while do have preferred cookers but as you are new i would try 3 or 4 and try them. The Rom Posts always tell you what is included as extras and what they have removed from the standard apps that come with it to either speed it up or make a little mnore space.

Do some more research if needed but dont come asking what the best ROM is as it all comes down to personal opinion in the end anyway. Take buying a Car yes you might ask people which to buy but in the end you will test drive a few then settle on which is the best for YOU. It's the same with ROMs.

As for worrying about bricking your phone as long as you follow the instructions you should be fine. I have been doing this for a couple of years now and the only issue i have ever had was flashing a Security unlocked Radio because i didnt pay attention to what the instructions said.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jibreil:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Q2V:
For answer what's best now, i would like to say, stock 1.61 is best one.

Try alot of cook Rom so far, but no one still now is stable, all of them cause a system freeze on my phone.

Note that HD2 is very fast and have a high hardware performance allready, so rom cook needed stable at the first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] myth1001:
I agree with you. Make a big round trying all the custom roms , now I'm back to 1.61 stock rom. 1.61 is fast and stable. Gonna wait till the custom roms are stable first before I use them for daily usage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] firaX:
I agree with this. I have since gone back to 1.48 (+ hotfixes + 1.61 radio, so it's basically 1.61 in German). In particular, WM6.5.3 seems to cause a few problems. I am sure this will get fixed in due time. What the OP was in a way criticizing is the fact that many custom roms have third party apps and themes built in - which is very much a matter of taste. I personally look forward to this:

- Clean 6.5.3(.3) OS

- HTC Sense + other stock apps patched so they do not conflict with 6.5.3.

- No custom themes / icons etc unless they are provided as optional addon.

From my Kaiser i still remember the "UC" method, where cabs were optionally added after flash depending on the what you put in a text file. I think this was the best compromise.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] borgqueenx:
So the newest official rom is the best? And after installing that i have to tweak everything?:)

aint it possible to delete everything and just install a fresh windows mobile and htc sense, and go on yourself with stuff i want? Or is it not possible/not a good idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mracket:
i dont think the official rom can beat the two latest cooked roms i have used. the topix and pandora are faster and more smooth and still has the htc software as well
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] thebomber:
i tried em all

i really wish to take some thing from everything

but back to miri

man that rom is super fast

it just needs some folders and some apps thats all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bumskee:
i am on miri's too.. didn't try others but coming from 1.43 stock it was much smoother!!! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Although I like your common sense argument, I wonder if it holds when you realise that a stock rom with a gazillion tweaks, utilities and driver updates added isn't realy a stock rom anymore.

So what's better: to go for a tweaked rom that is tested and shared by a community of users, or to soft-modify a rom yourself?

The only thing I'm a bit worried about is how save my data are on a customed rom. I mean aren't they a bit "hacker" prone? Not that i mistrust the chefs, but the components they use, how trustworthy are they?

EDIT: but then again, also installed utilities, programs etc. could potentialy hijack my personal data.... (so not maybe the worry isn't very realistic)

my default alarm app from wm6.5 is just playing the sounds once and doesnt repeat it. can anyone help??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] crazythunder:
download an app called klaxon. winmo's alarm is garbage and it's been well known for years. they are obviously never going to fix it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Cosmic Ranger:
Not sure if I should start a new thread given the age of this one but I was experiencing this problem. I found an answer from 2003 on another site which I adapted to newer WinMo versions. The following registry tweak works for me to create a looping/repeating alarm.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock

Right click: New>String Value

Enter Value Name: Script

Enter Value Data (for no vibrate): apr

or

Value Data (with vibrate): av0pr

If you want to add a delay between each ring add 'w(delay)' before the r(repeat), for example: av0pw3r would have a vibrating alarm with a 3 second wait before looping the ringtone

Delete the 'Script' value to revert back to the normal alarm ring.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Forgis:
Ok well I'm running Fresh 1.0 rom (and have been running it for 2 weeks now)

And I was using the wireless tether application (and have been using it for the past week)

While I was browsing the web, my signal just disappears and my phone turns completely black. It was charging the whole time and had battery which was green. I've been charging it but it wont turn on any time I press the power button.

Any suggestions? :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
Battery Pull??
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasupwithuman:
Does it do anything when you press power? Does the status light change or anything? Try holding home down when you press power to see if you can get into recovery
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obelisk79:
your battery may be overheating. I use a battery monitor widget called "battery life" and alerted me that my phone was shutting off for heat related problems. I alleviated the issue by taking my phone out of it's protective case that I recently bought and placing it on a cool metal surface.

After it cools off you should be fine. Or the heat may have killed your battery although I think that is unlikely.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skanndelus:
uh oh, what case do you have that wasn't allowing it to breath properly?

hard plastic case from handhelditems.com
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraginasian:
You absoluetly MUST remove any kind of casing when using Wireless Tether! Overheating is a common problem with the app, especially if you are pushing serious bandwidth through it. Try and remember that the phone was never really meant to be a wireless router, and using it in such fashion will result in additional stress to the hardware. Honestly, I would keep the phone on a chill pad or have a fan directed at it while running tether at full blast, or try and keep your bandwidth load to a minimum. Use a dedicated line for your torrents, use tether for on-the-go browsing!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obelisk79:
I can only imagine torrent traffic would throw a red flag to Sprint also. So keep that in mind while tethering.
[HD2 General] abarth500:
:confused:Hi first post...new phone.....great product, I love it......to get to the point, I have down loaded a couple of simple apps from the in-house market place, the second one "i spy wifi" wouldnt complete because "quote" ...reqs newer version microsoftR.net compact framework, this wouldnt download because I dont have enough free space, even though there is a 4 gb micro card with loads of room.........how do i get things onto the card storage?.......can I put a 16gb card in place of the 4 ?

cheers
[HD2 General] xavierdemon:
Yes you can use 16gb card, normally when you install an app, it give you the option to install on device memory or Storage Card. I install everything on the the Storage Card and I've got a rude amount of apps installed :).
[HD2 General] Cheesy Dave:
Hi, do watch the cache in the main storage - this can fill up.

And, when you install apps from the Market Place it seems these automatically go to main storage and there is no option to install to storage card.

I'm using a 16 gb card with no problems.
[HD2 General] abarth500:
thanks for the reply, not noticed an option offered for phone/card storage...will look for it next time....cheers..........
[HD2 General] jbh99blue:
Just to follow on from this can all cabs and apps be downloaded on the card rather than the device? For instance I have cabs for home page transparencies and max manila, text removal on home page etc. Also cab games, official hot fixes, clocks, market place apps as well. And these are ALL on t he device.

Are there certain apps or items that MUST go on the device or can everything go on the card?
[HD2 General] ScoTTyBEEE:
Pretty much everything can go on the card.
[HD2 General] abarth500:
but I cannot seem to move anything onto my card, am I missing something ?
[HD2 General] ScoTTyBEEE:
Just use file explorer to move the cabs to your storage card. Once you have installed cab's you can do what you want with them, move or delete them. When installing them it will prompt to install on the device or storage card. Choose storage card.
[HD2 General] DexterDuck:
I always install to the storage card but when you install using Market Place it doesn't give you the option it just installs to the device. Does anyone know if this can be changed or if the cab files is stored somewhere so that you can uninstall from device and install on the card??
[HD2 General] hnparedes:
As far as I know, isn't possible to choose a different location when installing from Marketplace. However, is possible to move the applications from the phone memory to the SD card. To do that you have to use this app. Although there are some applications that you must install in the phone memory.
[HD2 General] DexterDuck:
Many thanks, I will give it a go. I already have SK Tools do you know if that has a similar feature as I've not quite got to grips with everything it can do?

Hello, i use +- 3week one rom (i dont know name of rom - win 6.5) if i reset, display show me:

1.65.16.25

25.83.40.02H

3.Abusalza

After us boot, and mobil "freeze" on pin (not sim, but phone pin) - i can touch on numbers (write on screen xxxxx) i can touch on UNLOCK, but if i touch on unlock (change color) nothing - still i see only xxxx but button nothing reaction.... Im trying others button (change collor) but no progres...

If somebody call me, i can speak, i hear him, but phone is still locked....

I get one sms 31.12.2008 and this sms is very important for me - i cannoct read - if i use NEW rom, this sms will be deleted without reading - can you tell me some software (or help for heal this problem) on computer where can i reading sms (without installing on mobile device, because i cannoct go to phone device - i see can only touch on pin).

Thx, pls easy english for my poor english.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stylez:
Moved as not ROM Development.

You will not be able to retrieve sms without being inside the OS, just flash a new ROM and in future use a backup system like PIM Backup to save from these situations.

Hope that helps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Roman777:
I mean, if its not be a true - CONTACS is too internal, but outlook synchronize without instalation....

Realy nobody dont know any software for synchronization (or only read) sms from pc? I realy WANTS my one important sms - its special compliment for me.

I have very little sms traffic (but important for me) and i cannoct backup every few hours..... Im trying another Rom....

Or i can look to file strukture and reads files via WINDOWS MOBILE CENTER - where can i find file with sms?

EDIT - i find software Jeo mobile Companion and i can now read sms :-)
[HTC Excalibur] qo2520:
i recently installed 3VO's 6.5 ROM but i was having some difficulty with it and my phone stopped vibrating so i decided to go to Kavana's 6.1 ROM I'm still having the same vibrate problem.

Can anyone HELP?????:confused:
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
If you switched ROM's and the problem persists to exist, it may be hardware...

However, I am not sure if that is the case? Try a reflash on Kavana's, make sure it all went over well.
[HTC Excalibur] qo2520:
i tried flashing it again and i also tried hard resetting a few times.

i dont understand how the hardwre could of possible gotten damaged because i havent dropped the phone and it has been in water..

should i try goin back to the original ROM??
[HTC Excalibur] ehsan371:
you coudl try that

tellus how u get on?:p

Ok heres my story!!

Ive been using windows 7 since it came out with no problems what so ever, recently ive had some problems with infections, even tho my av suite says there all gone, im a bit paranoid with security (Credit card info and such) so i thought id format my hdd and reinstall win 7. This is where the problems start.

ever since reinstalling win 7, ive had 2 big problems.

1) my dvd drive wont work, if i put a cd in, no responce, if i take the cd out no responce, if i boot up my pc with a cd in, somtimes it will acknowledge that a cd is in but if i try to run it, windows explorer just crashes, if i take the cd out and reboot my computer it still thinks its in, if i try to look at my dvd drive properties in device manager, device manager crashes

2) windows 7 will not shut down, i have waited nearly 20 minutes and it just keep saying shutting down.

so i thought that my pc may still be infected so i thought id install vista on another partition see what happens, so i popped in my vista cd formatted my hdd, partitioned it in vista setup and installed in on the first partition, after id installed it vista works fine, the dvd drive recognises cd's, it refreshes when i take a dvd out and everything.....

so i though it mite be my copy of win 7 being scratched or sumat and not installing proply, so i borrowed my mates copy of windows 7 and installed that on the other partition ....... exactly the same problems as with mine :(

i dont understand why this is happening, windows 7 worked perfectly before , ive been using it since the first pre-beta version and never had this problem.

can anyone explane this? do you know how to solve it? cuz i really dont want to have to go back to using vista

and help would be really apreciated :)
[Off-topic] -PiLoT-:
this may be a hardware problem not software

it most certainly sounds like your cd drive is dead. so i start by replacing that

also i recommend you test your hard drive and your ram. there are free tools to do this

the long shutting down time could indicate that the hard drive is on it way out

but also you didnt post specs so i have no idea how old or what type of machine you have
[Off-topic] mancsoulja:
If that was the case why is all my hardware working fine under vista? dvd/hdd all work perfectly and it shuts down within seconds :confused:

i have an acer aspire 5738G running an intel core 2 duo cpu and 4gb ram :p
[Off-topic] hilaireg:
Few questions;

Q) Was your "working" install of Windows 7 an upgrade over top of Vista or was it a clean install as well?

Q) Have you checked the Acer website and the websites for the other components in your system to ensure that you have the latest firmware and drivers?

Q) Have a look at the Device Manager to ensure that all devices are properly installed (no Exclamation/Question Marks). If there are such entries, uninstall them and restart the system. Use the steps below to check Hidden/Non-Present entries.
[Off-topic] flyboyovyick:
Your hdd i dont think is on its way out, beacause my pc has win 7 and has once or twice hung on shuting down.

Do any discs work in your drive with vista?

flyboy
[Off-topic] Jeeves:
If the disk drive works outside of 7, it could be a driver issue. Windows 7 also updates drivers for you, which could explain why it stopped working. If you open device manager (type it into the bar), open the properties for the disk drive, and under the "driver" tab, select "Roll back driver" if its an option.

If the startup time ok, or just excessive shutdown?
[Off-topic] mancsoulja:
disks are only recognised if i put them in while windows is booting up, i cant run them tho, if i double click on the dvd drive or right click on it windows explorer just crashes :confused:
[Off-topic] mancsoulja:
thanks i will try that :) and no its just shutdown, i think its cuz like i said about windows explorer crashing, its trying to shut it down proply but it cant thats why it takes foreva to shutdown :confused:

*EDIT*

Ok when i try to look at the dvd-RW in device manager, device manager just crashes 2 lol its been like 5 minutes now and it still says not responding, im gunna leave it for another 10 mins see what happens :confused: i mite just forget windows 7 and go back to vista ...... atleast i get my dreamscene back then :D lol
[Off-topic] wovens:
If device manager does not work normally, just start windows 7 in safe mode and then start device manager to see what is wrong. Uninstall the driver and then let Win 7 find another driver next time you restart system. That should be enough.
[Off-topic] chris10230:
if you can remove the cd drive boot and see if that is the issue, if so then you may need a new cd drive.

[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] Poast:
Hey Guys,

First off thanx for all the hard work yall put into all this!

I'm no programmer myself and really like to see 1 app for the xperia that i use daily. Maybe you already heard of Dropbox.com. It's a site/app wich creates a virtual hd on your desktop. By logging in with email and password you can then get whatever files you need from the virtual disk.

Now there's a iphone app but no windows mobile app. I've mailed these guys about it but they don't respond and it seems as if they won't make a app for us.

Is somebody with sparetime willing to take a look at this and maybe create a titanium panel for it or an seperate app? Would be so helpfull with my work!

Ofcourse if it's a lot of trouble i will donate some ;)

Ow and why should this be wonderfull for all you wm6.5 users to? Because my friend has an iphone. He has a dropbox created with alot of music and movies in it.

You get two gb free and for ten bucks a month you get 10 gb. This means you can travel anywhere and just log in with the app and play a movie or mp3 you placed

in the virtual hd at home on your desktop!
