Hey guys!

I'm totally new to all these ROM's, only had my HD2 for a day! I've already installed HSPL on my phone. I currently have the 1.42 stock ROM from 02 on my phone. Is there a ROM I can download which doesnt delete any application or settings, but just makes the phone faster? Sorry if this question sounds totally dumb lol!

Many Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fantastica:
Nope. Every time you change ROM, all applications and settings that aren't built in to the ROM are wiped.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] PaulyDuk:
New ROM's will make the phone just like you got it, will have to go through the initial setup again and install any applications/change settings again as well.

Saying that but a lot of the ROM's come with a lot of the tweaks and utilities in there so little work is needed after :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fantastica:
Also, in my opinion, there's no need to change ROM for performance improvements. The HD2 absolutely flies. If yours doesn't, take it back and get a replacement, because mine responds instantly to everything, even on the old 1.43 ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Fantastica:
Or, depending on your viewpoint, lots of ROMs come with useless cruft that only takes up storage space.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alfa71omega:
Agree. I don't know if there is something faster.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Impunitus:
Well, I can't say if there's a significant improvement in speed or not (because my device was plenty fast on stock ROM), but there's a gain of almost 100 meg of storage, and I get to use the latest radio (which cures the occasional speaker distortion at high frequencies during calls).

I basically wanted the same as OP, searched around, finally installed this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=621070

and am very satisfied. It takes about 15 minutes (HSPL, new radio and new ROM), plus (of course) you have to reinstall everything and re-sync (flashing ROM means a hard-reset).

Oh, and to answer the original question: settings are very close to stock ROM, but some apps (that are mostly not needed and just waste storage) are removed (Copilot, for insance), while others are updated (like Google Maps). There are some performance tweaks included, but otherwise it looks and feels just like stock. I haven't noticed any additional battery drain for now (if anything, I have a feeling that it's actually lower than before).

Just my $.02

Cheers, R

I've been using Miri 6.5.x v1.5 and think that its mega fast and very stable indeed.

There's a lot of guff removed from it, leaving you with the extra ram to install apps.

Just my own opinion

Would love to do this. Vision is challenged as it is!

It would seem that this wouldn't be a tough thing for developers to do.

Don't see this in market...rooted or otherwise.

Alright idk if this is allowed or not... (if not please lock/delete)

I am currently using phenox 2. but seems to lag sometimes

I am looking for a rom which is best for me. I text ALOT (using hard keyboard and soft keyboard) the soft keyboard i want to use T9 (phone keypad) but it doesnt work on phenox 2 thats why im looking for a different rom. I use it to make phone calls, surf the web, check emails, calender to keep track of my stuff... <<< these are the main things i do every day. so im looking for a ROM which best fits my needs and want to see what everyones opinion is...

I would also like to adjust the vibrate because it vibrates for too long right now which is loud on when its on the table (so i have to always put it on silent)...

I like the fact my weather/calender events is on the main today screen...

so reading from what i like to do with my phone, what is everyones opinion on which ROM would work the best for me?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jmmmmm:
Honestly... You and about a hundred others have asked various questions about ROMs. You will not get a real answer here about what you have asked. If you dont have time to test the ROMs... stick with the stock ROM. I use the stock 6.1 ROM and Im very happy with it. I tried 6.5 and hated it.

Im not trying to be a jerk about it... sorry if it comes off that way, but I would hate for you to waste time being hopeful that someone will help with ROM selection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vim0314:
yeah i know what you mean... I'm actually thinking about maybe going back to 6.1... but maybe a custom 6.1 rom.

know where i can find the stock t-mo 6.1 rom?

Hi

Can someone help? I have a Touch Cruise and I did a hard reset a few days ago. I resynched the Cruise to get the Contacts aboard again. Not all the Contacts have been transferred. I have synchronised a few times and the Contacts are still missing. I see them on the Desktop, but they do not appear on the Cruise.

Please help it's driving me crazy.

Thanks

[HD2 General] freddyonderstal:
I own my HD2 for 3 days now.

I have one simple question and I hope that more users experience this.

If I slide my finger to the right of the screen, to the end, I feel the side of the HD2. If I slide my finger to the left, the display goes over in the rest of the HD2.

At the bottom of the screen, it's the other way around. There I can feel a little edge on the left side.

Other users experience this?
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
did you drop it? by the looks of the pictures I've seen where they take apart a HD2, the screen is held in place by the rubber sides..
[HD2 General] sectorlord:
it's normal...99% of the hd2 was not been totally flushed with sides which is a rubber..
[HD2 General] tboy2000:
yes i have it too.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
Well, in that case, mines' exceptionally well built. It's totally flushed with the glass. Sorry to put that out. I just love mines!
[HD2 General] freddyonderstal:
And what does this mean?

*my english is not that good haha*

So it's normal that you feel the rubber on one side ? Whilst de other side is straight with the glass itself?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
heh, likewise, flush all the way round. Perfection in black and glass, , ahhhh
[HD2 General] freddyonderstal:
So you don't have this problem?

I think I go back to the store and change for another one. I want a perfect phone for my money
[HD2 General] Archer:
Same here. Maybe 1/2 to 1/4 of a mm below the rubber, but perfectly straight all the way round.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
No, no tilted screen, its exactly the same all the way around, totally flush with the rubber.
[HD2 General] maxnik1:
Mine has this flaw, but it this so minor that I had never noticed it. I suggest get over it, it's not a big deal.
[HD2 General] freddyonderstal:
Ok, so also on the right side of the screen??
[HD2 General] maxnik1:
Absolutely the same as you described it in the first post.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] oluwaponmile:
Any help would be aapreciated on this:

Anytime I rejected a call with text message, it is always sent as a MMS as against been sent as a text message (SMS) and since my plan does not include MMS usuage, I always get charged for the service.

I uses this functionality a lot as I normally reject calls with text messages anytime I am in a meeting.

I remember correctly that messages used to be sent as an SMS in 6.1 roms and few of 6.5 roms I have used sometimes ago.

Can anyone help on this?

Cheers
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] stormyb:
on my phone it doesn't even work. i configured it so when i reject a call my phone should send a sms, it never does. instead of that i receive a sms: you have 1 missed call.

:confused:

no, i did not miss that call, i rejected it!

big difference.....
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] oluwaponmile:
Mine does work but I will get charged as it would have been sent as a MMS message, it is annoying because I know it can be sent as a SMS message and for free.

Help anyone?.............
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mcnascimento:

Hi All,

First question from me. I have just moved to the TD2 from nokia n95. On the N95 you could set it so that is would say the callers id when they rang. So, I had a short ring tone that would play, then it would say the name and cycle.

Does any body know if it is possible (or how to do it) on the TD2.

thanks for your help and ideas.

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jdwilson:
Use Voice Command...START-SETTINGS-PERSONAL-VOICE COMMAND

if it is installed on your device.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] billkelly:
thanks jdwilson,

it is not installed on my device - do you know how I would get it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] jdwilson:
Search on this forum or Google.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] billkelly:
Well, I have got it installed and working for everything but the caller id (despite all the things ticked and setting the bits from other threads). If anybody has any great ideas they will be welcomed, but I will play.

It certainly allows a gap in the tone, but the phone is silent, then the tone starts up again, so I think it is trying to do it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] fighter7139:
Use this:

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] werdna72:
But can it be used on other ROM versions?

I was never clear what, exactly, this update did - and since HTC said it could only be applied to a ROM version that pre-dated mine (and 6.5) I never found out!

If this 'fixes' any issue for Caller ID is it applicable to WM6.5???
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] billkelly:
thank fighter for the suggestion, but my rom version is not suitable

Still digging, but the other features are quite good.

Hello community,

I synchronize my music with Windows Media Player 11 / ActiveSync.

The Windows Media Player always copies the music to "Storage Card\Music".

Is there any possibility to change this path?

Hi guys!I've only been with you for the last month or so and still don't do everything perfect!However,I've been using HSPL 1.40(all signed by OliNex) since my first custom rom installation and have tried to install 1.93 but to no avail.I install it and everything goes ok during the installation,but when I check what HSPL is installed on my device it shows version 1.40...What's wrong?

And another (stupid) question...What happens when you brick a device?I've been reading about people bricking their phones but I have absolutely no idea what it means!What is bricking?And is there any way to fix it?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] codeslicer:
Hi,

If you really want to upgrade your SPL (not needed unless you have problems, like with screen), you need to first get Jump-SPL. Find it at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334667

Then execute the .bat file, follow instructions, and press yes on your phone when you get prompted. Your device will go black. Now, just go find Hard-SPL 1.93, and start that, and install it like normal. When you boot you should have 1.93.

Also, bricking is basically when your device becomes a "brick" or a nice piece of furniture (unusable). There are different things people mean by bricking. Sometimes it's just when you can only get into bootloader. This can be fixed by installing stock ROM, or doing some research. Other type of bricking is when you can't even turn it on. This can be fixed using JTAG, but you need equipment and intense knowledge.

Otherwise people just send it into HTC for repairs. Just make sure if you do that you have the original stock ROM installed (you need JumpSPL to install this).

So careful with what you flash or you could brick your phone!

~codeslicer
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] tolis626:
Thanks for your reply!Well,as it turned out you didn't need to tell me about bricking...I bricked my device just about 2 hours ago,just after my post!:eek: I managed however to "revive" it...Thank god!

Anyway,thank you very much again!

Trying to change user agent on opera to get full web pages, but there's still some sites (such as itv) that insist on giving a useless amount of wap style content. I've tried entering the prefs editor in opera (opera:config) and changing the browser's UA to both firefox and desktop IE, but that doesn't work. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate - do what you've already done in conjunction with another setting. In User Prefs (in opera:config), make sure that "UAProf URL Enabled" is unticked and save that. Restart Opera and it should have sorted itself for you.
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Nope, still the same. Could just be itv bein an a*se tho?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Can you give me a URL that you're having a problem with?

I've got my user agent set to:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648; .NET CLR 3.5.21022)

and I did the change I mentioned above.
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Ye sure, its www.itv.com
[HD2 General] Archer:
Ah - I assumed you were somewhere within the website before it stopped working correctly.

I've attached a screenshot of mine, which to me looks exactly like it does on my desktop. I can only suggest you check the user agent and other setting I mentioned earlier.
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Well, ive changed the spoof id to 3, and unticked the uaprof url, i thought that was all i needed to do. So i need to set that long list of UA params somewhere too then? (the msie .. trident.. etc)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, I don't change the spoof ID (I'd actually forgotten all about that! lol)

Change the "Custom User-Agent" to the one I gave you (it's just off my desktop's IE)

That should do the trick :)
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Yep thats done it cheers. Just wondering tho, don't those .NET entries need to be set to the version numbers for compact framework?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I don't know if it really matters on our devices, but you could set it to the correct version numbers for what's on your device.

In file explorer, go to the windows folder and find cgacutil.exe - run that and it gives you the version numbers of the .Net frameworks installed on your device.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UAE:
Hi there,

I am trying to find MoDaCo's rom with the framework and apps de odexed (that is, not pre odexed for speedup). If someone has it, it will be nice if it can be uploaded on 4shared (please no megaupload or rapidshare). Latest MoDaCo rom is preferable, this is already done for the Nexus one and G1 roms which eases ROM hacking.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pananza:
The latest released version of MCR is available for free over at modaco.com. If you want access to the latest beta (unreleased) versions you'll need to sign up for an account (adfree or premium).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UAE:
I am not looking for the ROM itself, instead, I am looking for specific files in MoDaCo's ROM. They are the app and framework files but de"odex"ed (that is not pre compiled).

Thanks for your help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] adwinp:
Compilation and odexing are 2 separate things.

You have 2 options:

1: PM Paul and ask him nicely, if he can share the files

2: unodex them yourself. It's a matter of minutes, so don't be lazy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] UAE:
Its not an issue of lazyness, its an issue of Heroless-ness ;)

Anyways, I will try the ask Paul option (:

just for my curiousity: what do you need an unodexed hero rom for if you don't have a hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bpedman:
To port the hero sense UI to another device

.odex files are platform specific. From the dexopt documentation:

With the de-odexed versions, the apks contain the original classes.dex file which is used to generate platform specific odex files when first booting
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
i see. i can help you here, if you give me some starting point. i am a linux sysadmin who has never deodexed anything, so i'll be good if you throw me a script or something...

Some time ago I upgraded my radio to some new unofficial version (this doesn't require HSPL right?). However, will my radio be updated as well when I upgrade the rom to 1.66 (if it ever will arrive for the Netherlands...) or will my radio stay the same? Does this also mean I will have to keep on upgrading unofficial radio's?

[HTC Tornado] tobbbie:
Can't you reload the original Cingular ROM? This is the only one that can be loaded as long as the "Cingluar CID" is present. RUU will also connect if the device is in the bootloader (3-color screen).

Once back in WM you need to Super-CID it - which is difficult after SPV-Developers is gone. But there is a local method available someplace, just don't remember the name.

I've been using pretty much only Cyanogens Roms for about a year now. But I'd like to know what people opinions are, concerning the FASTEST rom available for the dream.

This is quite likely to not change as most people are now developing 2.1 roms, that won't be complete until the video drivers are released.

What does everyone think?

Interesting post... I've currently running CM4.2.5 mainly because all of the new versions run a lot slower than this version!

Haven't really bothered looking elsewhere yet, but would be really interested in the answer to this post.

I don't really see what you get with 2.0/2.1 that is worth putting up with a less responsive handset.
[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Super D or Dwangs.

I used to use Cyanogen until I tried Dwangs (then messed around with Eclair builds) and then Super D.

They're VERY fast. Super D more than Dwang I would say.
[G1 General] shadowch31:
Definately Super D!

Currently running no comcache (fix is in the pipeline) and no swap and this rom flies! God only knows how much faster it can get with comcache!
[G1 General] legend221:
Super D is the fastest but when I flashed a theme on top it wasn't responsive anymore. Most notably the screen would go into standby and never come out of it.

I would recommend the Rom on my signature.
[G1 General] Androiid=D:
For me riite now is dwang
[G1 General] legend221:
Also, note that even a clean wipe and flash of the Super D resulted in the same results.

Even a nandroid restore couldn't fix the issue.

Biggest problem is the ram hack, some of us still want 3D game performance...

I haven't tried super D.
[G1 General] Jinson7:
Super D for me! Although I tried that CSDI which is by far the fastest and doesn't use the RAM hack - I just don't like some of the minor things in it.
[G1 General] Shrivel:
Add me to the SuperD list. By far the fastest and most stable ROM I've used in the last six months.
[G1 General] SolemnWishing:
Dwang by far, I've used pretty much every 1.6 ROM out there.

CM, I'm sorry but I find just way too slow, unresponsive and oddly for me often drops text messages and is not reliable in receiving MMS.

Dwang is just lightning fast for me for the most part, the 10MB hack with a compromise on 3D gaming is a bit of an annoyance. I have however noticed quite a bit more force closes on Super D, usually with Android framework, however that could just be the theme (DarkStar) I'm using. I've been using this ROM for months now though however, I just wish they would update, its been a while.

EDIT: I dont know why I said Super D, I meant to say Dwang -_-
