[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I guess I'm just in my own little world in which I don't see a lot of the issues people are talking about. Honestly, I don't see a difference in speed that everyone is talking about from any version I've tried (1.5 through 1.9).

I am also just a bit lost as to why some folks have issues right after flashing and some don't. Assuming we're talking about the exact same device and the exact same rom and flashing procedure; shouldn’t we all get the same results before installing any apps? Is everyone SURE they are talking about issues coming up BEFORE they start installing ANYTHING?

I'm new at all this so I read all the info here (every dang page on this thread) and followed the instructions to the letter, on the flashing setup screens. After a flashing, almost all of my issues have come up after I install something. I've now flashed back and forth, around 20 times over the past 2 weeks and I've noticed a few things. No rom will ever be perfect and some apps and tweaks will always cause problems. Also I've noticed that when I allow my Anti Virus and Tune-Up Utilities to run, and when I also surf the web while flashing, I swear the flashing pauses at some points, takes a bit longer and at least once, the flashed rom had stuttering issues that I didn't see again after flashing again while not doing the above things.

Okay I'm addicted to Kumar’s roms now, but the weather is way too nice here in Malibu CA, and after surgery, it's time for me to get back to life.....Well.....umm, at least until Kumar releases version 2.0........

Loving Classic 1.9 but then again I loved 1.5 and 1.6 as well :D

Big thanks to our fav chef and most def, gonna share the love......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Which radio are you using? I had this problem once, and after flashing back to stock and then Kumar's rom again, the problem was gone.

Take a look at my post here:http://forum.brighthand.com/hp-ipaq...ew-king-all-hills-htc-hd2-18.html#post1803674

In it I gave the links I have used on my US T-Mobile HD2. If you want to, you can skip down about half way down the post to "HOW TO FLASH YOUR US T-MOBILE HD2 TO KUMAR’S ROM:" Hope it helps......

I had a buggy v1.9 premium. it may be my fault of not using task29 and not flashing stock rom and i also did not hard reset after flashing. i also think cookie home tab may be causing issues.

so i used task29 this time. flashed classic 1.9 and did a hard reset after flashing. the rom is working fine so far i dont see the lag i saw before.

i will also try flashing stock rom and flashing v1.9 premium again to see if it helps.

I will also install cookie home tab on classic v1.9 and see if it is causing any lag.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I'm on Classic 1.9 which I installed and tested a lot, before installing any app or tweak cab. Co0kies 1.7.1 was one of the first things I installed on it and I don't see any issues as far as I can tell. I've gone ahead and customized it with 5 rows of quick links, etc. And after installing about 85 out of 130+ cabs, I have only run into one issue and that was with ShowCase (with the X enhancement; without works fine) caused problems for Co0kies Home Tab screen lock feature.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Sense

Just remembering reading about people having issues when they have a lot of music (200 to 2000) mp3’s on their SD cards. It seems that when people have a lot of music installed into different individual folders (like iTunes does), then Sense music tab can take a long time (up to 20min for some) to scan them all and in the process the device can become very slow all around.

From what I’ve read here and what I’ve seen on my own device, it seems to be that some Sense tabs can really slow things down. Well, I don’t have those issues right now but I also keep going in and turning off the Reader, Stocks, Twitter and Recent Documents. Wondering if others keep these on…….
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I'm guessing that some of the discrepancies in user experiences can be attributed to the actual process that people follow for flashing (i.e., do they do a hard reset after the machine comes back after a flash, etc.) and the various apps that they install after a flash (and those can be very varied in what those apps are, the versions, etc.). I think it comes down to a process of elimination/deduction to see what the possible root causes are for certain behaviours.

As for my flashing technique, I follow the sticky on the T-Mobile USA HD2 ROM Development forum to a "T": (Of course, I already have HSPL on my phone to begin with)

Flashing Via ActiveSync

1. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer

2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!! (this is a precautionary measure and is not compulsory)

3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC

4a. If your Rom is a .exe (customRUU.exe is already included in the Rom file) then run the file

4b. If your Rom is a .nbh file then run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)

5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom

6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards

7. Perform a Hard Reset to clear any leftover data from your previous Rom (see intructions at bottom).

8. Set up phone as required and job done.

(Credit to mskip for this.)

I've not had to do a Task29 with any of my flashing (I've done 1.4 Prem, 1.5 Prem, 1.6 Prem, 1.61 Prem No HTC Messaging, 1.7 Lite, 1.8 Prem, 1.81 Prem No HTC Messaging, and now 1.9 Lite No HTC Messaging) and, knock on wood, so far, so good.

I do turn OFF my AV program and do NOT do anything else on the computer until the flash is complete. Fortunately, it goes by really quickly on my machine, not the 10 minutes or so that it says it could take.

Again, kudos to our favorite chef. His thread on the forum is by far the most viewed and responded to, and deservedly so.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Good point. I actually have about 150 music files (735MB) on my storage card and the first time I go to the Music tab after a flash, it does take a while for it to search for the songs. After that, it's fine. Now, I don't know what it would do if I had 2000 songs.

That said, I don't use Reader, Stocks, Twitter, or Recent Documents. I do use the Home screen tabs as a way to gauge performance. For example, with 1.9 Lite, I can go back and forth on the tabs with great speed. Rarely does it hiccup on me. With prior versions that I've flashed to, there were more occasions when going back and forth would pause/stutter. And the speed at which the icons/pictures are drawn on the screen as I go back and forth were not quite as fast as with 1.9 Lite. Note that I also install the Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-1.1.cab (though I see that there's a 2.0 version, so I'm off to try that) which may help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I'm guessing that the 10min flashing time is for older/slower machines. For me as well, it takes about 2min which makes this flashing business, that much easier (and addicting). Sounds like you and I are pretty much in the same boat. Although, after I decide to move from one Kumar rom to the next, I run task29 first (takes 1min), then back to stock before the new rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I had read that moving the songs into fewer folders helped to make things faster. I had hoped to ditch my iPod Classic 160GB and just have it all on my HD2, but I couldn't bring things down to less than 40GB because I like to always have it all with me (music and audiobooks). So I'll just be keeping 100 songs and 1 or 2 current audiobooks on my HD2. Anyhow, here is the thread about this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661634

Thanks for the heads up on Chainfire-HD2-3D-Driver-Patch-1.1.cab new version. I have the old version in the next batch of cabs I need to install. But even without it, all is working smoothly and quickly. Odd though that a game called Flight Commander was slow without Chainfire on the stock rom, but on Kumar's 1.7 through 1.9, it is as smooth now, as if I had installed Chainfire.

For me I too, also do the slide test after a flash and I don't recall ever having things slow down on any rom (but I did skip Co0kies 1.7 which had big issues). Please post back if you have any issues with the new Chainfire driver.

My signal problem is solved. There turned out to be a problem with my account. I have $0. Thank you for the help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MirasHD2:
TomAutoCabInstall.exe (Just create a folder on your SD card with the name Autoinstall, you can put cab files, xml or other customization files, and these will auto install on first boot.

* Create folder in Root of Storage Card called [ Autoinstall ]

* Copy all your cabs in that folder

* After Flash , and during customisations all your cab will be installed.

* Also set your cabs to read only

* So get Your Storage Card prepared with all your Cabs to install.

Is this something that you could incorporate into your ROMs? It would be helpful for those that have 10+ cabs to re-install after every flash? Just a suggestion.

Kumar Premiun 1.9 Youtube blacks out when phone put to landscape

Is anybody else having this issue, I first noticed it on the 1.9 lite.I know that the Youtube app had the auto landscape when browsing thru videos but now the screen goes black. Still able to view videos but annoying that a slight moved of the phones causes it to go black when browsing thru the videos. Hoping there's a quick fix for it on registry or something like that. Dont really care for the auto landscape on youtube app. By the way the best rom i've used so far looks really good and is fast. Just that small problem with youtube. Thanks

Waiting for your feedback;)

Do you have HSPL installed already?

Check my PM;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] DeekoVB5:
I've had this going for a few hours now. Still very fast & stable, no issues. I've put some add-ons to spruce up the interface a bit, but I actually prefer it that way - I'd rather get a 6.5.x + T-Mobile stock and add my own stuff than have a pre-customized version with things I don't necessarily want (such as the keyboards & browser in Energy).

Overall I'm very happy with this ROM, good work skr_xd! I know you removed several of the default themes/wallpapers to save space, but hey...us T-Mobile USers have 1024 of space, we can handle it ;) I wouldn't mind having those included with the ROM. I also prefer having the start menu icon on the taskbar, but that's not really a big deal.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tmacgarris6727:
yes i do and it stops at 70 every time
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tmacgarris6727:
its say error 276 update error need help please or do you have the rom that came with the phone
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tmacgarris6727:
and when i turn the phone on it says update fail
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
If more people prefer, i'll include them;)

Anyways, will be providing a few packs for the extra wallpapers, ringtones, etc as installable cab files in a day or two;)

Thanks for the credits:)

try connecting the device in boot loader and then flash the ROM or try another PC if you have:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Be patient;)

BTW, you don't answer. Whats the spl version shown in boot loader?

Also, how you flashed my ROM? Via active sync or by SD card(Should not be done)

Is there a way to backup user settings so that you don't have to keep tampering with your settings everytime you flash updated kumar roms. Sorry by i'm noob, anything like pim backup except for settings?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
I think you can only save the settings for CHT...(correct me If I'm wrong)you just export (save) your settings and then import when you flash a new ROM.

As for the other phone settings (ringtones ,bsb tweaks, all social network accounts etc.) I don't think there is way to save them, but If there is I would like to know as well.:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kolichala:
works good

Hi, I just installed the new rom 1.5 , 1.66. It works good. battery is ok. everything is working fine. But there are not as many apps or customization options as in the 1.77. Is there any particular hardware compatibility issues in this radio?

thanks a lot for this custom.

how can i add the F(facebook) like in the screenshots next to the T(twitter)? i have 1.9

Click the checkbox next to the F(facebook) :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe_coolish:
2.10.0 i believe is the "Stock" stock t-mo ROM

http://www.vbnfiles.com/xda/xmoo/Leo....08_2_Ship.zip

Also remember:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] joe_coolish:
The only way that you can do all of that is by looking at the registry. Try and find what keys are modified (this can be done by exporting the registry and then performing the action such as changing something via BsBTweaks) re-export the registry and then using a diff program (I perfer WinMerge) to see what was changed. Save those keys to a reg file and run them at startup. That will persist the changes.

Oh, also, secano I noticed you're using the 2.10 radio. Have you noticed any differences/improvements? Especially with Kumar's ROMs?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Kumar, is there any way you can fix the sensitivity of the soft key that you use to close the swype keyboard? Sometimes it closes and sometimes the menu pops up (like if I were to change to qwerty).I know is tap to close and hold for menu, but sometimes I tap and still get the menu.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
So far I've noticed that I get a more bars and stable 3G connection rather than it switching all the time. As for the battery I could not tell because I haven't been browsing like previous days. But I should be able to test that later today.

ROM Freezing

Hello,

This is my 2nd HTC HD2 phone. When I got it, I was experiences huge gaps in service, especially at work and home. I wouldnt have a data or 3g connection while at work. It would pop in and out of 3g and edge, and sometimes no data at all. Called CS and they said it was a phone issue. So they sent me a new one. Got the new phone and it still does it.

After installing some apps yesterday, every time the phone was plugged in, it would lockup/freeze when the screen "slept". So I did a factory reset, although ive been researching the ROM flashing and what not, so I didnt fully setup the phone because I was planning on flashing.

Today, I upgraded to the HPSL2 and flashed the Premium 1.9 ROM onto my phone. I havent installed any additional apps, but I am experiencing a ton of freezing. It froze during changing email settings, when I used cookie editor to change some things with the HTC sense. Froze with email and text messaging, while in marketplace before i could install previous apps.

So now Im at a loss and not sure what I am missing that would cause this to freeze so much.

Please help a guy out!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rselva_kr:
I don't think it is a ROM problem.

Don't install any other application. Just flash the ROM and look for freezing problem. If it is o.k, try installing your applications one by one after using the device for sometime. Try this way to find out the application causing you trouble.

Also, rare case problem with your simcard(as you already swapped your device for freezing), try changing your simcard. First try to clean it well and insert again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Just to be sure, after you flashed to V1.9 Premium, the phone does a hard reset and you can configure it. Did you do another hard reset after that or did you start configuring it after the first time it came up after the flash? I ask because I always do another hard reset after the phone comes up after the flash. I understand that this may be needed to clear out some remnants from prior ROMs and apps, even after a flash.

Others here actually do a Task29 to clear everything out and flash to stock TMOUS ROM before flashing to a new ROM. I haven't had to do that, but I'm guessing it depends on the number and types of apps that you've installed and whether or not the two hard resets after a flash is enough.

Good luck! Also, if you haven't tried it yet, you can try V1.9 Lite and so you DON'T use the HTC Messaging app, which may be a possible cause for freezing. (However, others with V1.9 Prem and Classic report running fine using the HTC Messaging app.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IllusiveDreams:
Yeah, Im thinking I might need to reflash it. The process was quite simple. Ill probably do that tonight after I get home from work. Ive been mostly setting the phone up and changing some settings.

How do you recommend cleaning a SIM card?

After the phone did a hard reset, I went through the config process. I skipped the setting up accounts and such for this one. I turned off and tried another factory reset. However, something wasnt going right, I kept getting the bootloader screen. Then finally I got it do a reset and have been going from there. Not sure what this Task29 is. I dont recall seeing what that is.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IllusiveDreams:
Also, I have another question. For the other Kumar cabs, such as wallpaper and ringtones, do I install those on internal memory or SD Card? I think installing them on SD Card causes my freezing issues yesterday while screen "slept". Plus, nothing showed up in the file explorer after I did that as well.

which file is the one for manila landspace support. also when i try to delete .netcompactframework i get error deleting key. on 1.8 version i could install the older version of .netcf to play older games. help please
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
If I'm not mistaken, only the V1.9 Lite version does NOT come with landscape support. The Premium (with and without HTC Messaging) and Classic have landscape support.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I've not had issues putting ringtones and wallpapers on my SD card with any of the Kumar ROMs I've tried.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
AshMa here is probably the best one to answer that, but Task29 is an internal memory format program that essentially wipes out the contents of your device's internal memory. That way, you're sure that you're starting from a clean slate and that there aren't any remnants of the old ROM or apps in there.

You can search the forum for Task29 and there should be lots of info on it. As I mentioned, I have not had to do this so far. <knock on wood>
