Here listed are the ones that I am constantly trying:

_ disablesenseVsync.cab

_ duttys task manager for leo.cab (once this is installed I could never find its location in the phones many menus)

_ DisablesenseVsync.cab

_ HD2memtweaks.cab

_ HD2scrolltweaks.cab

_ LED notification enabler.cab

_ performance registry tweaks with enablercacheWarm.cab

_ TouchXPowermanagement.cab

_ TouchXWirelessDraftNON.cab

_ TouchsensitivityTweaks.cab

_ TX TMOUS radio quality fix.cab

Also, I need to say that even before I realize that the .cab were a quick way of changing the settings in the registry, I have already gone in and manually changed them. So my question is now, after a hard reset is done, does it also reset the manual changes I had made before?

Bytheway, do I need to reboot after each .cab install or can I do all at once and then reboot after? I always install all the .cab files and then reboot after. and as I say before, each time I have to end up doing a hard reset.

What HardSPL version do you have installed on your phone?

I have never used the Touch Extreme Rom so I cant really comment on its stability but you could look for a 'near stock' like rom or flash the 2.10 stock rom which is pretty good on its own.

You certainly shouldnt have to go through that many hard resets so I would say a change of rom is your best step to take.

Not sure, but I used this program

HSPL2 for 1024LEO by DarkForces Team by bepe and Cotulla

Can you recommend any good rom or much better ones than what I have? thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAMeingast:
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but you obviously should have read more about flashing ROMs, HSPL etc. before flashing for the first time!

Also, customizing the phone might be a bit more difficult than with the iphone - but this also opens up WWAAAAYYY more possibilities of customization. ;)

This still doesn't answer the question. We need to know, which version of HSPL you installed using the app you mentioned!

Start the phone into bootloader mode (press volume down and reset - keep the volume down button pressed until a three coloured screen appears) and it will tell you the SPL version.

EDIT: Since you asked for a ROM recommendation: I use HyperROM, which is insanely fast compared to stock ROMs and most cooked ROMs.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhagiratha:
This is what I have ...

Amazing how some changes in the registry makes such a difference. Thanks for all you efforts. It gives really an improvement.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhagiratha:
Thank you for the tip, I installed the HyperRom a few hours ago, and I must say it is very snappy and I love the look and feel of the UI. It will be a keeper!!

Also, do you know where I can find apps for this ROM or just apps for the HD2 phone? windows market place really sucks!! thanks again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAMeingast:
Sure - but you will have to be a bit more specific about what you're actually looking for! ;)

There are MANY great apps for Windows Mobile on xda-developers - far more than you'd think. The problem usually is finding them! :D I definitely would recommend browsing through these forums. If you are looking for something specific, say so! I (or someone else) might be able to give some recommendations!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhagiratha:
If there are so many, then why I am finding a hard time locating them? It would be nice to see something like the Apple app store -:)

Well, one of the apps am looking for is a backup app. Maybe one I can use with my mac.

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MAMeingast:
And again I need more specifics... :D

What do you want to back up? Everything (including all installed programs) or just PIM entries?

If you want to back up everything there are two apps that come to mind: SPB Backup and Sprite Backup. Both are not free, though. EDIT: Both do not require a desktop PC and store everything in a file.

If you just want to backup your PIM, you could either use Microsoft MyPhone (which uploads everything onto an online server for safe storage) or PIM Backup, which stores PIM information in a file (on your storage card, preferably, since your internal storage gets deleted after flashing). Both of these apps don't require a desktop PC and are free.

A hint: If you are planning to test many different ROMs, a full backup will cause countless problems. If you try to restore a backup from a ROM other than the one you want to restore it on, it will most likely not work, because registry entries and other system files differ between ROM versions (by different cooks - if you stay with one cook you might get lucky). If you want to test different ROMs I recommend using Sashimi to automatically install all your programs, registry tweaks and xml-setups after flashing. Setting up Sashimi for the first time is a pain - but once you're done, it's awesome! :D

HKLM/System/GDI/Drivers/Bpp To: 24

Now this IS interesting. I dont know if its just me, but were HTC holding out on us display wise? Changing the BitsPerPixel (colourdepth) from 16 to 24bit, for some reason, whether the display is actually capable of true colour or not, not only MAKES THE SCREEN LOOK BETTER but its also FASTER

I have the Tmous HD2. I went into the registry editor and got to "Bpp" but then I do now know which value to chagne to "24". Do I change the "value data" from 10 to 24?

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhagiratha:
Here are some observations:

- when I use the camera in widescreen mode with the zoom all the way up, the photos are fine.

- any picture I take in portrait mode, with the zoom set down produces those rough edges (or whatever its called) on the photos.

- My co-worker has the same phone (with t-mobile stock rom), and I notice that when he take pictures, the shutter on his phone "sounds" louder and seems to function in a much sharper way.

- I want to add that previous to a few days ago, I didn't have this problem. I have installed quite a bit of software and custom settings on the phone, so it might be a conflict issue [maybe] ...

- Is there a way to change all the settings for the camera to default? or reset the registry?

Any ideas?

Audio booster

i tried ROM 1.66 and 1.72 .audio booster switches off after every song or track even after installing this music patch from htc web site and keep audio booster running cab from xda.

i tried not closing audio booster ,still no solution.

its very annoying.

i have to switch it on with every song.

(someone suggested =="One - after your selection in audio booster, don't press the 'X' or 'done' just come back to home screen, it will leave the application running in background.

Two - download the SRS HD cab, which I think works much better the audio booster")

I did both,but still audio booster shuts down after every song/track.Though audio booster together with SRS WOW HD sounds much better.but still i have to switch on Audio booster with every song.

This behaviour was not there in stock ROM of TMOUS 2.10.but it lacks share internet connection option.

For now I want to stick with 1.72 and get the audio booster problem solved.Can any expert solve this problem please(after lots of search ,i still fail to find proper solution for this annoying thing).

Thank you.:)

Hello,

I hate to join the naysayer I am really not seeing a difference. I got the buy one get one freed deal for the US HD2 so I have a side by side comparison, with reg tweaks and without. These are the ones I have done so far....

HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize

HKLM/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE limit

HKLM/System/StorageManager/Filters/fsreplxfilt/ReplStoreCacheSize

HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCMenus/EnableVSync

HKLM/System/GDI/Drivers/Bpp

I have a few more to try but so far not seeing anything special... This is on a US HD2 with the stock ROM. Am I missing something?

I am familiar with what is being changed in the registry... Just not SEEING the performance gain while using the phone. Not trying to take anything away from the hard work that went into this thread, it is much appreciated.

right, i have applied all the tweaks accept for "HKLM/System/StorageManager/FATFS/CacheSize To: 65536", "HKLM/System/StorageManager/Profiles/HDProfile/FATFS/EnableCacheWarm To: 1" because i have the 1.66 wwe stock rom (actually would the second one work? i'm not sure whether i have 6.5 or 6.5.x could someone answer that? I also have not changed "HKLM/Drivers/Display/Settings/SMI2 AllocSizeMB To: 32". This one is the real sticking point and i see many people have had the same problem. This key doesn't exist, and as far as i can tell from my windows pc experience, it would be invalid? Can we get a definitive answer on this one please? Is the [space] a typo? Should the key exist? If it doesn't can we create it on a 1.66 rom? (stock or otherwise)

As for overall performance (not done the scroll tweaks yet but i will) it is better but not what i was expecting but i am asking myself if that was a little unrealistic. Also the animations on the weather tab in sense were a little jumpy but that may have somethig to do with the tweaks i couldn't apply. Otherwise i'm actually finding sense usable and subsequently asking myself why htc didn't configure it like this in the first place. The messaging app seems to have picked up the pace a little aswell. One of my contacts has almost 3,000 text messages associated to them and it loads the list in half the time (ok, maybe not half but it's MUCH faster).

Registry editing is not for kids

You'll need a registry editor. There are many out there and some other programs include them as a side project. The one i use incouded with WiFi Remote Access because i can make the changes from IE on my pc and therefore i can copy and paste the values from the forum. Many people use rescoe explorer or something else.

If you have never played with any form of windows registry or have any form of IT experience (modding phones, PC's, any windows experience above checking facebook, typing up a quick letter in office or playing solitaire) i would seriously thing twice about this. One mistake and you could end up with a £400 roofing tile.

One thing you should note is that windows xp/vista/7 registry practises do apply to windows mobile (for obvious reasons) so it helps to go read up on them first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3PH:
Just working throught the scroll tweaks and i think i have found a typo. I think "FlickGestureDistance" should be "FlickGestureDistanceThreshold".

**EDIT**

just finished up those tweaks and i think i have finally fallen in love with Sense. It's so much nicer to use now. The pinch scrolling in opera9 is a bit too sensitive for my liking but i can dial that back a little if i can't get used to it. Overal a nice job. All i need now is the questions i asked a little earlier answered and everything will be cool

**EDIT 2**

i've just fired up the facebook app (version 1.2) and i get the same problem as other users of 1.07 get with the album cache key set. Personally i'm not that bothered. The full web version is better.

**edit 3**

I had to do a hard reset because I enabled "show owner information while device is on" after enabling the owner information tweak (FYI don't make that same mistake). I have reinstalled everything and interestingly the Facebook application downloadable from Windows Marketplace now works fine. So i'm guessing it must inhearit the "album_cache_size" value when it's installed and doesn't like it being changed but if you change before you install Facebook it works fine.

Hello all. I recently got the TMobi hd2 and have updated the new rom update at TMobi and I have applied most all of the tweaks and all is good. I do have one issue. When I scroll from one of the homescreen icons to another, the one I'm on stays in the background until I get to the next one. In other words, if I'm on homescreen and scroll to stocks, the home screen is in the background until I stop on the stocks. I didn't notice if this was like this before I applied tweaks. Anyone else have this after tweaks? Which tweak could have caused this?

Setting BPP to 24 bit will NOT have any effect to performance and Manila's graphics.

If you enable cleartype(also in landscape if you like). Then setting BPP to 24 bit.. It will result in nicer text overall and (maybe)images in 24bit/or/camera photos will look deeper cause you extend the color depth range! Im not quiet sure about the images, no easy way to test and compare :-)

Btw.. Some of these tweaks posted WILL result in SLOWER browsing of emails and sms, and i believe BPP24bit+cleartype would also be causing the side-effect.

I kind of like the nice text and the wider color-range, so im using it. BUT the TFT display cant support 24bit 100%, cause its a 16bit(+) display.

Anyone seen same results as i?
