He bro my German version is up, wanna try it? :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] freyberry:
I only use English ROMs. My own ROMs are English as well ;)

And they're fast and stable :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Ohh.. :( that's a pitty, I taught maybe you could test for me if I patch XIP right and if the rom is performing good.

Ok thanks anyway. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Any news Bob about your XIP secrets? :D

xip patching..u win some, you loose some...if you belive otherwise... :p:p:p:D:p

Yes improvments can be done in patching/removing certain regs and files, but I would mostly agree with what Miri has posted:

Benchmarking...might have something in it that can be worth all the time ppl spend on it..but to me, its just a good laugh :D Those benchmarking threads are sooo funny, so please, keep it up, I love my daily dose of soap.. :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Thiago Fialho:
This is the most unuseful thread of whole XDA forum... If you beliave in the goodness of HTC and Microsoft go out and wait maybe they release something official and 'stable' for you in the next six or twelve months. Maybe 1.61 rom! Lol!

I ever use fastest roms with my old Diamond and they are absolutely better than my stock rom and yes stable too.

Thanks for Pietrucci for your work with benchmarking... Your benchmark thread are crucial for me in the decision of buy one HD2 and not other model. If you buy another tell-me and i will buy too :D

Thanks for Laurentius and all cookers that expend lot of time doing great research and bring us next level of performance.

As far as I'm concerned it has served the purpose for which it was intended.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Itje,

Since you love to read soap why don't you make this thread sticky instead of closing it it seems the soap continues. :)

Just a taught.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I think I already explained that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah many times....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
The crucial point, I believe, from the OP was that the HD2 is so fast from itself that speed-hacking isn't really a issue like it was for, for example, the HD and the Diamond.

Although I'm new to custom roms I must say I am flabergasted by the "need of speed" of many builders and users of cooked roms for the HD2. For me it is a practice I just don't get. When I'm looking for a custom rom, i'm looking for new functionality (new Sense) and a better UI (new WM builds), not for additional speed. Speed for me is only an issue when it comes to running this new additions in a comfortable way. (like, as i understand from the OP, was the the motivation for speed-hacks in the first place on the older devices)

But on the other hand, if users and builders want more speed that's ok for me. I'm just not in the market for speeding up a device wich is fast enough from itself.

Just my 2 cents.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Indeed the speed of the HD2 is ok but there's always something to improve to my opinion.

I mean now the HD2 is new but back in the good old Universal, Kaiser, Blackstone days you would have taught the same when your received your device brand new out of the box isn't? ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Ok, that could be, I never owned one of those devices. My last device was an omnia I, and yes I have to admit, out of the box it was really to slow for the software running on it. A little speed-hack or two would have been really nice.

In the OP however it was stated that the HD for example had enough speed for what it was running, and that speed became only an issue when one would want to have some additions like the new Manila edition. That sounds very convincing to me. But then again, I don't have experience with old HTC devices (yes I had a Cruise once, but that thing was screwed up right out of the box and HTC would want to let me pay for repairation. That was my first and almost last thing I want to know from, as I thought in that days, the overhyped HTC devices)

But, all things set asside, don't you think that the HD2 is the first device on which things are finally running smoothly? So why not go for new additions instead of speeding up a racing monster? For example I would love to see a dutch version of the new manila with the new WM build. Can you cook such a thing for me. Because, as I have seen from reports here, you are a good chef.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah but you see we first taught we had good 3D drivers this time and see what Chainfire has done,

you gotta love and appriciate that. :)

I had a Cruise as well long time ago, it wasn't that bad with stock rom but hey that was ages ago. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
I'm sorry I don't use Chainfires drivers on the HD2. I've tried them but for the way I'm using the HD2 they don't really add something. (But then again, I don't run heavy graphical applications and I hardly do any games on the HD2).

But I think you're alluding to a point here that can be made. I can imagine that there are users who can appreciate additonal speed. Those, who run heavy applications, like for example emulators, use an addition for which speed can be a good thing. For me however, the additions I like to see, don't require that much speed-tricks.

So maybe it's just better to let the difference in roms for what it is. I can imagine that it is nice to have a speedy alternative. For me however, I like the new additions from HTC and WM. By now, I know which chefs can give me that. Like I think is the case for other users with totaly different requirements.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah that's why we are on a Development forum and every rom cook has a different opinion about cooking a rom.

Best thing for me is a fast and stable rom and only one application for each task you need. :)

I'm happy with the extra speed but I can understand you don't need it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Isn't that nice? Not one overall rom which can serve many users with different needs. But a specific Rom for a specific community of users. That is maybe the big plus of customized roms in comparison to the official HTC Roms.

Another thing is of course the hobby of making roms. As a former developer I know the thrill of it. As a user I can't speak on that issue of course.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Well like I said I like a rom with one application for one task.

The trick is to put in these application most users would need and find a stability.

And yes I love to cook roms. :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Funny the discussion continues but in a more decent and polite way thanks to Appelflap.

Funny thing is the subject of this thread is totally nonsens and we are still having our yes and no story which leads to nothing. :rolleyes:

Oh well..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
The original post was not nonsense. I was accused of not sharing. I can't speak for the rest of the content.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
I'm sorry about that :p Never meant to screw up the discussion that way :D

But thanks to our little discussion I have a much more clear understanding of the true point of creating roms. Thanks for that (sorry)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] giacominos:
To be honest I think that your post is totally nosenses. And you keep saying along this thred: I'm the benchmark winner.. as an old song said You're so vain..

You're a good chef but you should be more modest.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KukurikU:
funny how fast ppl forget!!

i remember not a long time ago how you and bobsbbq were fighting with daeron to take off yr ROMs from the benchmark because of poor performance compared with others. i remember how fast you came back to gloat after yr ROM made it first place.

same now with bobsbbq...suddenly the benchmark is counting, "i am the first!".."no...I am the first". what a BS!

laurentius your slogan "together...blabla" is empty except when is demanding from others. remember how upset and loud you were dutty didn't share? remember how much you shared after making yr "fastest ROM"??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
You are right not too long ago. I finally gave up and moved on and concentrated on my work not on the benchmarks, they are what they are.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Mr. Engineer we are all together again I see. :D

The benchmark doesn't count but the point is people all start negging when they are not at the top,

It happens here and it happened then.

During Blackstone forum I requested to keep me out of the benchmarks but Dearon ignored.

Here I didn't bother to ask to keep me out but hey here I'm also at the top and I can't help that isn't?

The chefs are blaming XIP patching this time to have a instable rom but they all patch XIP. :confused:

Indirectly that's acusing my rom of not being stable so that's why I protest and defend.

Edit; I'm linking Dearon's benchmark thread so people can see you're are talking a lot of grap as we have never been friends.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Laurentius26, if your ROM is stable then you should be able to sync notes with outlook and you can't on your ROM V1 or V2. You can't use HTC Sense 2.02 because of the problems with removing cachfilt.dll. Lets see you make a ROM with HTC Sense 2.02 and with notes syncing with these same mods.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
As you can see in forum there are many problems with Manila 2.02.

The reason is simple as it's a very early beta test version and I've decided not to use it.

I'm not going to change that decission because of you.

Notes sync is indeed still a problem I've noticed as I forgot something but next version this will be deffinitly fixed. :)

No biggie if you ask me, I never use it anyway.

Edit; actualy you asked me in pm how I fixed that isn't it and I gave you an answer.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] KukurikU:

Well now that all is settled now I think I finally can leave this thread and continue cooking.

Thanks Kukuriku ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
The reason you don't want to use HTC Sense 2.02 is because you can't with these same tweaks and the documents package included. I know it is a beta but for the most part it is working ok other than a few things with pictures and music tab in Landscape.

Well I don't use many things in our Device, but our users do. So it's your ROM and you do with it what you want. Myself and others would rather have a fully functional ROM for our users than get a higher benchmark score by removing XIP components.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Wrong, I can but I won't but maybe in futher as Manila 2.02 or higher build offcourse is more stable. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
I recall where in the past some people warned you about using these tweaks. But as you said you Don't use it so you don't care about your users that do.

Again you can't sync notes with these tweaks. And if you ask me a ROM that can't do so is not stable.

See this thread:

Well I have had enough of this. This was put here to clear my name of the accusation of not sharing these tweaks. Now it is turned into one of the biggest mess I have seen. I try to respect all my fellow cooks and this is not the way to do it. We may not all agree but we should try to get along. So I myself am done. I take the high road out of here.

The Mytouch 3g does have the increased ram 130Mb free showing in taskiller. If you are wanting to run a hero rom that should help.

I know it was rumored but I just got hands on with one. No other big surprises, it is basically a htc saphire with a 3.5 headset jack.

The fender edition mytouch goes on sale january 20th. My store just got our demo unit in stock today, so I could check it out. Basicaly what it sounded like, a mytouch with more ram, 3.5 headset jack, 16GB memory card, and some music apps installed.

This CAB will install a skin/theme to the WM SMS screen (Compose SMS Screen ONLY!). The bubble will expand as you type, not fixed background.

Note: Tested on WVGA only.

V0.2 - dialog box now with border. So that you can use white background.

* Please uninstall V0.1 first you if you have it before.

Customize:

1) \windows\sms_compose_bubbleu.png - You can change the cartoon to whichever character you like, or it could even be yourself! Best fit with transparent background.

2) Change background color:

2a) Edit \windows\zz_compose_style.css >

body {

margin: 2px;

background-color: #000000; => edit this line to change the background color! You can refer the color code from:

* http://html-color-codes.com/

2b) Replace zz_sms_compose_tl.png, zz_sms_compose_tr.png, zz_sms_compose_bl.png, zz_sms_compose_br.png, zz_sms_compose_dot.png to the background or border color you want, using this tool:

I was inspired by AndyNear threaded SMS skin, and Ahen and Ganondolf SMS background. But unlike SMS background, this is more CSS than fixed background. I did the scripting myself. May be a bit raw but still is my own work.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] someguyyouknow:
So I have been using my imate PDA2k without a hitch, purchased it unlocked, and was using a local carrier somewhere in Europe (Voda). Went to T Mobile in the same country and put the sim in - BOOM - white screen on startup and it seems to have reset because I heard the pings to indiate screen alignment.

Took it home, used My Mobiler to looksee what is happening. Its all working fine, the screen and everything, its just white! And after several Power/Reset button resets everything is still there but on the device - white screen only. Power on battery and backup indicated 100% but backup battery for a while said "needs replacing" - then on settings now its 100%

The touchscreen works! I reinstalled the password and when I touch the white screen in the places of the four numbers, its ok!

But its all white! What can I do?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
hi and welcome to the forum.

there are basicly two options to what could have happened, either something got messed up with the rom and after the sim changed it was triggered and went completely wrong or while changing the sim, you accidently caused a hardware defect.

another way to try that is: put the device into bootloader mode!

the way to do that is press power+record+reset. maybe hold the power+record a little longer after resetting.

if your device screen shows SERIAL V2.0x (where x is a number from 5 to 7), apparently your hardware is ok and just your rom broke. in that case, after you claimed you already hard resetted, you might want to flash that rom again. if i read your post correctly, you are still running wm2003se. if your carrier does not host your rom anymore, you can always refer to xplode's shipped rom archive here: http://firmware.atspace.com/Blueangel.html

if your device still shows only white, either when trying to access bootloader mode, or after re-flashing, yo might have harmed your hardware. you might want to check for a replacement screen. if you want to have a look inside your device, whether the display cable maybe broke, here is a link to the service manual: http://rapidshare.com/files/336406555/HTC_Blue_Angel_Service_Manual.pdf

i don't think it can have anything to do with the backup battery, but if that really was the reason, here you find a thread with someone, selling them: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=551886

or you could upgrade your rom to wm5 or above, then the backup battery is not needed at all.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] someguyyouknow:
Thanks for the great response!

So I waited about an hour of using it with My Mobiler but with a white screen only on the device, and then waited a bit, and and just pressed power and reset again to see if yet another reset would work - and it did.

It was so strange that the previous times I tried to reset it didnt seem to work at all. But I knew that the screen was ok because I used My Mobiler and could press the password for the device on the white screen ok, guessing where the numbers were, and it activated fine.

So strange, but its all ok now. Thanks guys - this device is 5 years old!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
mymobiler is a remote connection to the device, so that does not necessarily shows, that the screen is working, because it uses the usb port to determin, what the display would show, just like a remote desktop connection to a pc can work, even when your vga or dvi cable is broken, because picture information is sent through lan or wlan then, with a virtual graphics driver. also for some people, the touch feature worked fine before without the screen showing anything, because that is also another layer, that is transmitted through the digitizer. it could really have indicated that your display flex cable was broken, which is why i went both ways in my answer.

i am glad to hear it works again, just posted to clarify a few things ;)

also, if you ever get tired of wm2003, make sure to have a look at d-two's wm6.5.3 rom in my signature and in this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=569869

back in the day, when i still used wm2003, i felt quite excluded in mobile developments of the last few years, because many 3rd party applications would just work on wm5 or above and with that rom you can be up to date and use a lot of new features, which make the phone feel less like an old pda and more like a new phone. but now, that your device works again, of course that is completely optional.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] someguyyouknow:
Great Tony!

Although I am a little afraid to flash the rom to WM5 or 6 I should give it a go.

Im happy with the BA the way it is with some GUI software!

Thanks again!

I don't know if I can post this here, kindly let me know if this is the wrong thread to post.

I have xv6600 yes I am still using it :)

It seems that I have broken my Display cable as I don't get any display.

But sometimes when I Slide the keboard in and out many times I do get display.

I took it to the local mobile reparing shop and he says that the cable is broken but I will have to change the complete LCD, as it's not possible to change only the display ribbion.

I was a bit worried in changing the complete lcd as I am not sure what quality of LCD he is going to use.

I would like to know if it is possible to change only the display ribbion. and where can I get one. Your help will be greatly apprreciated I really love this handset and don't want to leave it

Thanks in advance
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
have a look in the service manual, there you will find the exact display used in the device. there is a photo of it on page 55.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] sam7777:
Thanx a lot Tony for your quick reply, this forum is great I have learned a lot from this forum over time.

I saw the display from the service manual, infact the mobile repair guy had opened my phone and shown me the display, but I was concerned if there is any chance that i can just repair or change the ribbon instead of the complete diplay.
