HomeSwitcher app on the market. Saves a lot of time instead of going into settings and clearing home defaults.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
You know...I knew that...lol. Only thing is I couldn't find home in Manage Applications. It just wasn't there.....

UNTIL.......I hit menu>filter>all and presto, there was "home" lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
I'm guessing that the Home and Search buttons may not be assigned to any commands at the moment. Pressing the "Search" key for me does nothing...

Anyone else?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
So you got yours to flash correctly?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Search isn't mapped, but home works fine for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Konikub:
noppers....does nothing for me here either. But on the plus side, I got helix to work and now I have seven screens and a ton of the goodness of ASOP :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Well, yes and no.

As I previously mentioned, I was able to get data working, but since introducing WiFi to the mix, the phone is locking shortly after booting to the home screen. I'm still trying to troubleshoot at the moment and will update shortly.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Is it normal to have to sign back in to google after each boot?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Yeah troubleshooting as well. This I predict is going to be a sleeper ROM.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Yep, but I had to do this on damage and darchlegend as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
I am hoping I got aps2sd working. I flashed the zip from the Damage thread, ran the commands and it says aps2sd is enabled. I am fixing to check and see
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danknee:
Working fine for me

adb remount
adb shell
busybox --install /system/xbin
a2sd
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Sleeper as in a HIT!

or

Sleeper as in a dud?

EDIT: Removed Rant about other ROMs that would otherwise Hijack the thread.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tipharet:
Hey bud,

lets try to keep this thread strict and no talk bout such things. No point in that :)

and sleeper as a hit!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
Ok, the Wi-Fi is not causing my hanging issue. Shortly after boot (with WiFi off), I am getting a Voice Mail notification in the bar up top. The status LED continues to flash and the phone locks up. I will try reverting back to a flash without using the Backup settings on the SD card. Darch will have to take it from there if the backup settings are the only hope for 3G Data.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] RVDigital:
After a Wipe and Flash, I am able to boot without a freeze. Once again, I have no 3G data.

A couple other things to note:

In addition to the Home and Search keys not being mapped, the Answer Key is also not mapped and you must click the phone application icon to make a call.

Visual Voicemail is not working. Currently, the text messages stating a Voicemail is waiting from Caller XXX-XXX-XXXX are provided when a voice mail is received.

The phone call status screen has some graphical bugs that may also need to be addressed.

I am really excited for a 2.1 Vanilla ROM and looking forward to any new developments.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
Do you have a facebook? The reason it's crashing for me at least is it's trying to sync facebook onto freindstream. also, i told you this rom currently doesn't support sprint voicemail, so ya. and the answer key and home key are mapped just fine on my part.

btw, for the person who wanted my lockscreen wallpaper, here you go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LuisPotato:
there is no gtalk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
oh, sorry. i didn't add it to the rom, trying to only add the bare minimnum then work off of there. if you want it, here you go
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
btw, for people who are having issues with evdo, i am having an impossible time replicating your issues. i have restored settings from sd card, not restored from sd card. wifi only, mobile data and wifi. it's just not replicating.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:
why call it stable when it has issues? lol
[Hero CDMA Android Development] darchstar:
lol, you could say the same thing about every other 1.6+ rom. lol. Stable is a matter of opinion. And i am having everything working for me, so i thought it was fit to call stable. I will be glad to troubleshoot anybody's issues if they come and ask me. Just post a logcat is all i ask
[Hero CDMA Android Development] LuisPotato:
i had trouble with evdo( wouldn't show Ev on bar) but i fixed it after holding down power and turning on mobile data and then restarting phone
[HD2 General] ITZAWORK:
So I recently went from the HTC Touch Pro2 (TMobile) to the HD2. No complaints so far (other than the virtual keyboard takes some getting used to ha ha). But here is what I am wondering...Not even sure if its possible, or if its something that so easy you will all laugh at me...lol

So stock on the HD2 is Transformers (1 & 2) and there is a nifty icon right on the home screen and in the start menu to launch it, I was wondering if it is possible to get icons on the home screen and start menu for other movies and tv shows I put on my phone?

Sorry if its been asked before I didnt seem to come up with anything with a search.
[Desire General] nubbin:
I am new to the Android platform, coming from a long succession of WM phones. I have a 16Gb microSD card with loads of WM apps and data on it, but also some Android apps such as coPilot 8. The phone sees the card, but will not read any of the data, so I am assuming I need to re-format the card into a readable form. What file format does Android use, and what is the best way to get the phone to view loaded software?
[Desire General] irkan:
Android does not read softwares from memory cards, they have to be installed in the main memory inorder for it to work
[Desire General] nubbin:
Ah, thank you. In fact, I installed a file reader, which allowed me to at least see the files on the card. from there I have been able to successfully install Sygic mobile 10, and also CoPilot 8. Both work well. I've also installed Zxing bar code reader and learned how to use it to get access to Android market. Such an easy system to use!

It's great having a new OS to play with!
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
i am no longer able to use Nandroid to make backups. I get this:

"Error: Run 'nandroid-mobile.sh' via adb!"

Anyone know how to make this work?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
reboot into recovery and connect to phone via adb shell, then run the command nandroid-mobile.sh -b.
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Thanks! How does one run the adb shell?
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I only got this error while trying to do a backup +ext. The regular backup worked just fine. I was wondering the same thing, and was going to look on here and see what the problem was, but forgot.

When do you get yours?
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
did you download the sdk package and install

If so...

Get into the command prompt

Type cd/

cd whatever_directory_androidsdk_is

cd tools

c:\xxxxxxx adb shell

Now I have never done a backup through here so you may have to do......

c:\xxxxxx adb remount

remount successful

adb shell

[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
I used to get this when I was going back and forth from fat32 to fat32+ext2 or ext2 to ext3, whichever one doesn't require a wipe, but it effectively makes the nandroid backup unusable.
[Hero CDMA General] ymsc:
I get this message if my battery is low on power. Plug it in and try it again.
[Hero CDMA General] HERNANDEZ4LIFE:
Heard if your sd card is running low on space itl give you that error too...
[Hero CDMA General] bikcmp:
You know, Google can help with this stuff. :) Next time, please search first.

Probable causes:

Not enough space on SD card

Low battery

If you have a full battery, and deleted everything from SD card, and it still doesn't work:

Download android SDK

install usb drivers (SDK HAS IT)

Put phone into recovery mode (hold home while booting)

Plug phone in to PC

Open command prompt

cd to the Android SDK folder

cd to the tools folder in the Android SDK folder

type adb.exe shell

type nandroid-mobile.sh -b

and then press enter accepting default options, and you should see a error message if it doesn't work :).
[Hero CDMA General] subliminalurge:
I've had that happene several times. Every single time it was because my sd card was nearly full. This will probably vary depending on how much you have on your phone, but my nandroid backups take up almost 250 mb each, so I try to make sure I have at least 300 mb free just to be safe.

I also wouldn't discount the possibility that a low battery could cause the error.
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Thanks for all the help guys. As it turns out, it was a full-ish card!

Got the backup I needed now.

p.s. I did search google - and the problem with that is that there are hundreds of theories around the web about what the problem might be, and you simply can not spend days on end trying them all. Makes more sense to ask the trusted people here on xda.

p.s. It's too bad they don't change Nandroid so it instead returns something like: "can't create backup: card full" ;-)

Best,

[Desire General] cez10:
but the price plans are ridiculous :rolleyes: if they wont add any extra cheaper ones then i dont think anybody will go for VF instead of T-mobile
[Desire General] chappers-UK:
Thought they would be!!!!!

I was waiting for VF to launch them, but when I saw the plans for the X10 and Legend I deceided to go through mobiles.co.uk, as they offer a 12 month plan. I hate 18/24m plans, glad I did now, even though mobiles are OOS even though thier site says they have stock.

VF plans are just stupid IMHO

With Opera Mobile 9 will automatically cravate favorite images after viewing the page you want.

You can simulate something with Opera Mobile 10, since it is not supported?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Archer:
You can manually add thumbnails to bookmarks on the internet page (I can't remember where they're stored - someone will be able to advise you), but it's a pain, and you can't add new shortcuts to bookmarks that you've made in Opera 10 - only 9.7 and IE.

I personally got rid of the internet tab and just put Opera in the top row of my main page of quicklinks, so it's available from my home tab. Since it starts up with the "start grid" (unless configured otherwise), it's equally as good as the shortcuts on the opera tab.

Just a suggestion.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] haphazard1:
Is there a way to fix the web snapshot for the Internet thumbnail section if you remove one from the windows/temp folder by mistake. Because now it won't take a thumbnail web snapshot if I add to visual bookmarks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PugLord:
Same here but i think you mean windows/thumbnail folder

I deleted the one i had for BBC Football as i didnt like they image and now i cannot get an image to display for that favourite.......is there a register entry or something i need to clear to restore thing?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] spyrale:
i think i might have found a way...place your favourite in internet tab, then, in order to have thumbnails, open pocket internet explorer, go to favorites and open web pages (the one placed on internet tab) and let them full load. if you close pie at this point you can see thumbnails in internet tab, tap on them and they will be opened with setted default browser, opera 10 in this case :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] haphazard1:
I think I figured it out about this bookmark thing. I have notice in opera 9.7 that the little symbol next to web address that looks like a box with lines in it is all mess up. Now I don't know what that symbol represents but I think by fixing this it will fix the problem.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] coldpenguin:
I bought a phone second hand. Was supposedly in good working order.

2 months in, the phone has developed an annoying buzz on the speakers when a call is in progress. It sounds like the usual buzz you would get if you held a phone next to unshielded speakers.

Is this common? Is there a good/known fix for this if I open the case?

Sound goes if a headset is plugged in, either wired or bluetooth.
[HD2 General] FreakyFerret:
Okay, I've tried for a few days now to find out how to do this. I've found quite a few tutorials on how to get a dump on other devices, but none specific to the TMOUS HTC HD 2. Since each device uses a different program (or drivers?), I'm guessing I need something specific to my device.

Can anyone give me some direction on this?
[HD2 General] edbolor:
Raw files extracted from TMoUS HD2, need help reconstructing...

hi,

i came across an old tutorial on extracting raw files from Raphael (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=427507) and was able to follow them to get 4 raw files successully from my HD2 Leo TMoUS. However i can't proceed any further because i can't use Raphael kitchen nor Blackstone, which i tried too. Does anybody know by any chance how i can reconstruct my files to a flashable rom. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[HD2 General] FreakyFerret:
I'm new to all this, so I might be wrong, but:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4901472

That kitchen has the Leo listed as supported. It doesn't say specifically the TMOUS version though, so be careful!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rockthebus:
Hello.

This is my first post, so please be kind to me!

I've spent the past few weeks trying to get my head around what to do in order to flash my HD2 which is on the t_mobile network

The original rom 1.43 i think is driving me crazy and I now dont care if I change the rom and it invalidates the warenty!

In order to HSPL I need to SPL first, but will my device allow this?

I've read through so many threads that I am completely confused and dont know which way to turn, never mind which thread to re-read.

Can someone point me to the sspl, HSPL to upgrade to 1.66

Thanks

Glyn

oh its the 512 version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
you are over confusing yourself.

download hspl 2

instal it - choose whichever hspl you like (may as well go for 2.08.hspl)

flash whatever rom you like from usb. (don't forget to flash a compatible radio either before or straight after.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rockthebus:
Thanks for your reply......

so downloan the HSPL from here?

'xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477'

and as I run the program I'll get the option of which version to install?

What should I look for to make sure that the radio is compatible with the rom?

Thanks again and sorry for my ignorance

Glyn
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
best thing you can do is to read a lot. No need to do enerything in one mad dash.

get HSPL2 from HERE - end of the first post (but read the post, dont just skip to download, )

run it as administrator (right click, run as administrator)

for best results use a usb port on the back of your PC (i.e one directly on teh motherboard, not an external usb slot) it will ask what version you want to install. just go for 2.08.hspl (not 2.08.0000) and let it do its thing. the authors say you should match the version to the rom (so 1.43.hspl for roms that are 1.43 or 1.48, 1.66.HSPL for 1.6 based roms, etc, but it isn't critical, most will run on any HSPL, so dont go changing every time you flash a new rom, no need. If it doesnt work then change it.)

As for radio tips, a radio with .51. in the number, (eg 2.09.51.03) will NOT work with any rom that has the 576meg ram, enabled.

If you flash a rom and all you get when you restart is a grey screen, chances are the radio doesnt match. Boot to bootloader and flash the radio.

But most of all, read stuff.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tidefever:
What about shipped rom's that are .exe files? Do they include radios with it? Also, is there a post you can point me to that has a list of compatible radios with different rom's?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
that's where reading comes in. the whole process has so many variants that there is no simple "a b c" that covers everything.

yes the exe includes radio (and also spl if you use sd card to flash -stay away from sd card, use usb and if anything goes wrong you just boot to bootloader and re flash)

the chefs give you all the infoyou need in the first couple of posts. the sticky threads in the rom development section will tell you how to do everything, and any problem you encounter has beenwritten about already. so read,search and read.

I suggest you flash Stock WWE 1.66 ROM first so you can have a feel of how much improvement

has been done from 1.43

you can download it in HTC website.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] rockthebus:
Thanks for your help so far..

I would like to go for the 1.66 official ROM first, so I'll find that on here first and find the exe file so I dont have to mess about with compatible radio's.

Just before I HSPL it, I would like a copy of the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM, so better get searching.

Thanks again

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EddyOS:
the original 1.43 T-Mobile ROM is on HTCs website so get it from there as a backup

THANKYOU!!

Thankyou so much for your help and guidance.

Last night I decided to just do it - the phone was so poor I couldn't take it anymore.

3 hours from start of backing up, to installing HSPL2, to flashing with 1.66, anf then restoring data

I cant believe the transformation - I am so pleased I didnt throw it at a wall!!!

So a massive thanks to the members of this community
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Chivalryyyy:
im in the same boat... got a stock uk hd2 on tmobile and wasn't to flash a new rom but the information is overwhelming and im scared I will flash a wrong rom and kill my phone :0)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
theres nothing to it. the 'normal' hd2 which you do have, is about the safest phone to flash in the world today, with HSPL2. The 'radios killing phones' problem that started last week is specific to the t mobile US model only, , the one with 1 gig rom.

If you install HSPL on your phone, and then only flash over USB, the very worst that will happen (from a software point of view) is that the phone stops at a grey screen, and/or only boots into bootloader, so you boot into bootloader, you flash something else, and it's fixed.

The T Mo UK stock rom is available to download as backup, (as is o2 and voda for anyone looking) in the 'LEO official roms' thread in rom development, first post, first link, first folder (1.43)

At any time, you can flash that rom from sd card (look it up if you need to) and restore everything, spl, radio and rom, , to factory settings.

In all honesty, so long as you are careful, methodical, don't pull out USB cables halfway through, laptop battery dies, etc , then you are more likely to get bricked from some freak incident, like , umm, battery dieing, heh.

Fear not! be smart, be careful, try to understand what you are doing and why at each step, read up on what an spl is, and the job is , as they say, sorted.

If you're happy to put a different ROM on there, why not go up instead of down. Anything 1.66+ and you won't get the SMS lag issue.

I'd recommend going for a recent ROM (2.0+) with the eReader and document tabs - something like Dutty's HG.
