[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
When you say battery life is bad, what does that mean to you? I could go for most of a day on one battery charge. But I have a car charger (cost $3.00), I also have 3 extra batteries (cost $30.00 for all 3). The batteries are so small and thin that carrying 1 or 2 in pockets, is no big deal at all.

I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure if Kumar could increase battery life, he would do just that. Each WM build update promises better battery but I've seen no change from ROM to ROM.

Things one could do to tackle battery life issues:

1. Voice Command has been reported to use up power and so turning it off if you don't need it, will help.

2. Turn off 3G when not needed as it is a HUGE battery drain. WMLongLife here on xda is an app that is supposed to switch 3G off and on automatically. I'm still testing it but some HD2 users have reported a one day battery, turning into 3 days on one charge. Sounds crazy but sane enough for me to test it.

3. Limit how often apps like email check for new mail. Right now I have things set up so that I get a text message with the subject of new emails and then do a send and receive on my own if I want to read the message right then.

4. As mentioned above, check out eBay and even Amazon for really cheap prices on batteries. Do some searching on xda and Google, to find out which brands or eBay sellers to go with and or just look for sellers offering OEM batteries. I paid 10.00 per battery and a friend paid 5.00 per battery for the exact same ones I have. We both got them from eBay and they work just as well as the one that came with the phone. At the price and the small size again, nobody who purchases this phone should have issues having a 2nd battery. Only problem is getting used to removing the battery cover and doing so in a way that doesn't scratch up your device with that metal cover.

5. Car chargers and extra AC chargers can also be had on eBay for next to nothing. Also another one I like a lot is that on eBay you can also find standalone battery chargers for also next to nothing or bundled with batteries. Just go and check it out! Well worth it to have 2 or 3 batteries, charge 2 every night, one in the phone and one in the standalone and carry that ultra small extra battery in your pocket or bag = no more battery worries.

I installed WAZE with this rom on radio 2.09 and had bad results...constant freezing. Time to hard reset. Also it is my experience that radio 2.08 has a better battery life than 2.09

Just go back to the old one...I had the same problem
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fivefingerdeathpunch:
freezing/locking up/laggyness etc

has anyone been able to look at their task manager whenever their phone got really laggy at any point?

i was using my phone yesterday while texting and my phone got reaaaaaaally laggy. it was slow but i eventually made it over to my task manager and checked the applications. nothing weird there so looked at the processes. my filesys.exe has really high cpu usage. not really sure what that is but that is apparently what is lagging my phone. ive also had my phone have the buttons light up but not the screen. when this happens i wait for a little bit of time and eventually my phone responds. when it does i unlock it and immediately go to the task manager. what do you know its the same filesys.exe that has high cpu usage. after a few seconds the cpu usage for it goes to zero. i believe that is what is causing issues for me. i also noticed that after my phone had the lag issue the email icon would show up, however, when i went to check my emails there were none whatsoever and the icon disappeared.... could email be the source of the filesys.exe usage and therefore the non responsiveness/laggyness? people that HAVE had problems have you noticed similar things in the task manager/email icon/even have email set up? those who dont have problems with lag and nonresponsiveness do you not have email set up?

sorry for the essay

Sorry for keeping you waiting for an update friends.

Something bad happened again friends. My home PC crashed because of faulty motherboard. Good thing is that everything else including my Quadcore 2.83Ghz processor and other parts were o.k;). I had to format the C drive and had to rebuild the kitchen again. I had a backup of custom packages and fixes in my another hard disk and so it was not that hard anyways although had some hard few hours:o.

Anyways, test ROM based on V2.1 will be up by tonight.

I have concentrated more on stability this time than new packages.

So, i have not used packages from test ROMs this time. Most of the packages are from HD2 shipped ROMs only;).

Initial Change log for Premium Version 2.1 Test1 ROM:

1. Based on Shipped TMOUS HD2 2.13 ROM.

2. Removed most of the test packages with packages from 2.13 ROM(Had to compromise some features though)

3. Included Swype.

4. Reverted back to Leo lockscreen as more of you don't like the modified wm default lockscreen.

5. Few minor changes in registry and tweaks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Take your time man:) we'll wait patiently! woohoo!! 2.1!!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] miclflores:
Do you use Windows Media Player or the HTC Music Tab? I use the HTC Tab and it can be pretty slow loading and I don't even have a gig of music on it. It's the only thing that really lags for me on 2.0 Premium. Great ROM! Thanks again to Kumar for his great work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Search this thread for music and as well I think I posted a link to another xda thread where this is talked about. I had read about a few different things one could do to speed things up a bit (sorry don't recall off the top but I know some of it is posted in this thread).

I'm going to start looking into it again because I'm getting a little tired of having an iPod around always (or least while driving). Plus I just found out that Pocket Tunes can sync iTunes playlists with ease. Just wish I could find a 32GB micro sd card as I have way too much music and audiobooks........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I think that sounds about normal to me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I have yet to read about anyone who says that changing from stock radio, has made a real difference so I've stayed stock. I have read that the new 2.13 ROM radio has left a lot of folks none too happy with it even though it was said to have been included to fix the exact problems people are saying it creates.

I haven't loaded up much music as I had decided that I was going to have to stick with an iPod because for some strange reason, I like to have it all with me and even worse, I've gone away from MP3's and moved my entire CD originated library to ALAC format which is anywhere from 20 to 30MBs per song (but now all my 1000's of CD's were given away to my local library as I now buy and give away CD's because ALAC is lossless, which means equal to the original CD).

Anyhow, I currently have Pocket Player, Pocket Tunes and S2P installed and I'll be testing them all, along with the HTC Music player, to figure out which is the best and fastest. a lot of people hate iTunes and even though I'm not an Apple fan, I do like iTunes because I'm used to it and it's easy so I would like to keep using it and have music Synced to my phone from it. With Pocket Tunes, I see now that I'm able to take my 80GB iTunes ALAC library and create playlists for a 1000 songs that I'll have to make converted versions of to MP3 or AAC 256. Then The Pocket Tunes Sync can sync them right up to the sd card in the phone. I guess I'll still keep the 160GB Classic iPod in the car and for long trips, but I hope to just use the HD2 mostly for now on.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Sorry for not updating the ROM friends.

As i said, my PC crashed and had to rebuild everything and the kitchen still some changes as i had to do all my hardwork once again:(

I don't want to give you a ROM which is in PAR with my previous ROMs. Also, the 2.13 base & radio are not so good for battery and stability as i have tried to make a version based on 2.13 shipped ROM and used for a day or two. Just waiting for some new packages to appear so as the new ROM update is worth enough. The messaging client in 2.13 is also an older version compared to the one in my 2.00 ROM. Also, i couldn't reply frequently and individually as my work load and responsibilies are increased in this period in my work atmosphere:(

Thanks for understanding and support friends:)

Regards,

Kumar
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Hey Kumar, I think I speak for most of us here when I say we totally understand and please don't feel like you need to rush for any of us. We love your work and are very grateful for all that you have shared with us.

Now for me personally, I am in love with Classic 2.0 and have had zero real problems since my last flash and hard reset. I had 130+ apps installed and I've now cut that down to about 65 cabs and tweaks and all is running very smooth. I would very much like that Omnia II Swype version (still looking for it) and I'd also be happy to get my hands on the newer Visual Voicemail as a cab rather than flashing to a new ROM. However I am good to go with what I have right now as is.

And as far as messaging goes; I even like it more now since I added messaging as a quick link icon and so now I use that rather than going through the Sense Slider messaging. I really like it because it's still Sense but is bypasses that getting to be annoying Slider messaging screen where you have to tap again to really open up the messaging even after you've read the message from the slider screen.

And once again, relax and enjoy your newborn and don't worry about us; you already have wonderful ROM's working well.

I know that my wife gets upset with me when I don't spend time with her, and so would my boss if I didn't show up for work! I couldn't imagine having everything I have on my plate at the moment + doing a ROM let alone 2! You've done more than your fare share.

Jus wanted to say this (Premium Version) is the Best ROM ive flashed so far...and Ive been through 6!!

No lag...no freezes...great graphics. OVERALL=The Best Yet!!!

Also...can add custom start menu icons!!!

Keep It UP!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] techboydino:
(Running Premium) Looking for some advice. Having daily freezing issues and screen wont wake up after been sitting a while. Could be due to something installed or a BSB tweak. Anyone have any ideas specific to this ROM? Favorite ROM so far BTW, thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Most likely an app you installed. Try uninstalling them and install one at a time to see which one is the culprit.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
If possible, could you list the apps you have installed? Also, if you didn't already do so, you might want to flash again. First run Task29, flash Kumar’s ROM again and make sure to turn off your PC's anti-virus, close any open apps (don't use your PC while flashing) and then do at least one hard reset after flashing. Then try your phone without any tweaks or apps installed and then if no issues, try installing the apps, one by one and checking things out.

I have BsB Tweaks installed and a lot of options changed in it with no issues. when a ROM works well for many, then the few who have major issues, always comes down to 1 of 2 things; either the flash went wrong due to user error or that an app or tweak done after flashing, is causing problems for the ROM.

Edit: Bascially the same thing vplaza wrote at the same time :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gattaca714:
Might be an app you installed that is not compatible.

I had the same problem happen with Waze...but then I uninstalled it, and did a hard reset...installed my other apps and everything has been perfect since.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I had Waze installed too but I wasn't sure whether or not it was the one giving me problems. I just didn't like the app so I didn't install it again after my last hard reset. Now I wonder if it was causing the freezing I had seen a few times the last time around.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I had Waze a while back and noticed that it didn't play nice with the phone. It also misspelled my home address so I removed it. FWIW.

I hope this isn't prohibited by forum rules - if it is, please notify me and I will request that the thread be closed.

Problem is, I'm not a developer. I would love to be one, but I've tried my hand at it in the past and am old enough to know my limitations...coding is one of them.

I'm looking for someone with app development experience who would be willing to develop my idea into an app in exchange for some equity in the finished product.

If you know how to develop apps, are looking for an interesting app to develop, and would consider investing development work for equity, please PM me.

Thanks, and I hope this post does not offend anyone or break any rules.
[Android Software Development] atolar:
If you state your idea, you're more likely to get a response.
[Android Software Development] cauli:
I get the impression the OP thinks their idea is too valuable to be publicly disclosed. I'd be surprised if anyone took up such an offer - essentially they get to do all the work in return for the idea & 'some equity' in the finished product. Even if you could first establish you have a history of creating marketable ideas I'd not rate your chances.

If someone has a project they want implementing they're more than likely going to need to offer a fee, not merely a percentage. Sites such as Elance provide a means to match up projects with programmers - btw I have no connection to them; I just googled android project proposals bids.

In any case, if you have no money to finance such a project, you probably won't even have the resources to draw up a legally binding contract, so good luck enforcing any arrangements you might come up with.

TBH the OP's best bet is either learn to code & do it themself, or as atolar suggests, make the idea public & hope if anyone bothers with the idea that they're willing to let them have a (small) share of any resulting equity.

[Edit:] BTW I'd be interested to be proved wrong. If the OP finds someone willing to carry out their work, I hope they'll let us know.
[Android Software Development] androidlurker:
I don't mean to come across that way. Understand that the one person who replied got the full idea without any sort of upfront requirements.

I've paid for development projects before, and understand the industry. But I have to look at other options for this idea. I've hired people looking for development experience in the past, some of whom were willing to take a stake in the idea...just thought I'd float it here.

Luckily (or unluckily haha), I'm a lawyer, so I have the transactional stuff covered.

I wish I could learn code - unfortunately I spent 7 years learning a completely different field of study, and am too old and not nearly smart enough to pick up coding in any way that would produce quality software. I've tried, and had to be honest with myself and admit that coding is not tailored for a brain like mine.

Only one person has replied, and he felt that he didn't have the experience to execute the idea. You sound as if you are experience with android - I'd be happy to PM you with the idea so that you can at least tell me if it's something worth pursuing. Willing to hear the idea out and provide some feedback?

Thanks, and take care.
