Are you talking about the quick link icons or the slider icons? If the slider icons: Slide to Settings> Personalize> Home screen tabs, then place your finger right on top of an icon (far left) hold and then move the icon, up or down to change the order they appear in the slider.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Chinese characters on Send button seem to be the only issue

Kumar or anyone else know of the location to perhaps change the registry to fix the Chinese characters on the send button once you add it with BsB Tweaks?

Also in my screen shot below, you'll notice that the speaker icon has red all around it for Silent Mode. This icon comes as part of 6Fg8's taskbar which I would suggest for a future rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=625465

Also, I just flashed 2.0 Classic for a friends HD2. She is now very happy with her device and no more slowdowns. She had no idea that tapping the x on programs doesn't close them on the stock rom. I explained it to her and installed aMeDa for her which I really think should come with all of your roms too.

For those that don't know, aMeDa will turn your x button into a button that closes the current app. Also it can do another function or open a program on a long hold of the x button. It can also change the soft Start Menu button to do 2 actions as well (one on tap press and one on hold press).

Follow the link below and install both cabs. Then go into your Start Menu (by holding the Start Menu button down because aMeDa by default changes the soft Start Menu button to activate on a hold press rather than a tap press). Then launch aMeDa Settings and configure it as you like. For me I have it set so that; a quick tap of the Start Menu softkey brings up Showcase task manger, while a press hold brings up the Start Menu. And then I have the x button tap set to close the current program and the press hold set to minimize all programs.

Newbies to Windows Mobile aren't told that not closing apps, can and often will slow down your device and so a program like aMeDa is needed and should have been part of the stock rom.

Download and install AMeBa_v0.8rc.cab and scarecrow420_AMeBaSettings_v0.3.CAB, bottom of the first post:

BTW' Thanks Kumar!!!! I used the USB cable that came with the device, rather than an older one I had. And just like you said, that fixed the issue about the port feeling like it was loose.

I'm a noob... Thinking about flashing this rom on my tmo hd2... But I requested a sim unlock.

Does it matter which order I do it in? (sim unlock or flash the rom?)

Thanks!

Welcome to the best rom in town! Have a look at post#1138 on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652649&highlight=task29&page=114

And you do not need to make any changes to your T-Mobile sim card in order to flash and use this rom. You'll probably be best served with 2.0 Premium to start with and see how you like it (you can always go right back to stock at anytime following the info on the link I posted).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] busmaster11:
Thanks! The post should be very helpful. But I don't see anything about the sim unlock. Do you know if I should wait to do that first or does it matter?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
If you're on US T-Mobile, with a US T-Mobile HD2, you don't need to change, unlock or otherwise do anything with your sim card. Just follow the steps and you'll be good to go and your phone will be right back on. Just make sure to follow each of the steps and if you're not sure about doing something correctly, then ask before trying. The type of unlocking you're doing here with the first step, is to allow your phone to accept the new rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jimthegreek:
Thank you thank you thank you!

I totally missed the settings on the far right of the slider.

I kept going into the settings icon from teh start menu.

thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] busmaster11:
Okay. Maybe my question wasn't clear or I'm still not getting it... I requested a sim unlock so I can use a non-TMO sim, and I'm just wondering if that should be done before or after this rom flashing - I'm not asking about any prerequisite for the flash itself. I searched and found no one asking this so I guess its a silly question.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Flash your US T-Mobile HD2 as mentioned, then insert your sim card. Your sim card should work with the flashed rom, just as it would with the stock rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] suryo88:
you need to sim unlock first in order to use non t-mo sim card, after that install hspl and flash your hd2 with this rom.

you can flash your phone right now but later when you get the unlock code you have to flash back to factory rom to unlock your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] busmaster11:
Thats what I needed to hear. Thanks both of you. That second part will save me much time.

I'm having issues getting task29 to start up anyway, it looks like it never flashed. Oh well. its for the better now.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I've been given different info but it sounds like what suryo88 is saying, would be the correct way to go about things; so my mistake :D

Downloaded Task29 from the link, turned off anti-virus and then clicked on it and no go? BTW' Task29 first is only what many rom makers are suggesting we try if the flashed rom has problems. I've gone with and without it first and all worked out but just to be safe, sometimes when I saw issues, I couldn't be sure if it had something to do with the previous rom, so I now run Task29 first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Just some quick feedback on V2.0 Premium. I've been running it since Thursday and it still feels solid and quick. I've also been using the HTC messaging app and have probably run through over 100 messages since then. It hasn't given me the lag/freeze issue that I had with the stock ROM many moons ago, so I'll stick with it for now and won't be disabling it like I normally do with the Premium versions of your ROM.

The only real "issue" is the Chinese characters in the send button, though it's more of an annoyance than an issue since I know that the button is for. :)

Once in a while, the phone will slow down, but it's either because of an app that I was running (or multiple apps), a buggy game, or I'm deleting a hundred or so emails at a time from my Outlook account. But given a few seconds, it's back to normal. Or I run a CleanRAM and it's back to normal.

Loving this ROM so far! Thanks, Chef!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
i am having issues downloading the non htc messaging version. 4shared either says i already have a download in session or it doesnt load anything at all.

any other places i can download this from?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
Is "TomAutoCabInstall.exe" on this ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
I'm experiencing the same problem...I'm trying to download for a friends phone and had no success even with 2 different IP addresses.

I get the following message:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
i gave up on downloading the non htc messaging and downloaded the premium with htc messaging and so far its flawless.....knock on wood. just waiting for it to freeze though, seems all roms do it. If it doesnt freeze then it would prevent me from downloading and flashing the non htc messaging rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
It's working now...:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
It's the Chinese text on the "Send" button in messaging. That's why it hasn't frozen yet. ;) In all seriousness, I'm like you, I got used to removing HTC messaging or downloading the ROMs without it. But V2.0 Premium seems to be running fine with HTC messaging, so I'll wait and see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Don't believe so.

HElp

Hello Kumar..everything is really good with this rom ..how can i get back to the start menu which is to the down left side to the original stock rom which is on the top left side...i will love it if youc an help me dointhat..isthere any cab for that???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
No freezing here

I've been on 2.0 Classic again, for about 2 days now with not a single freeze up or slowdown. Within those 2 days, HEAVY use of many apps and I've installed 118 cabs (apps and tweaks) all to internal memory (aside from NDrive on the memory card; btw' BEST GPS app I've ever used).

Anyone with freezing issues, could you list the apps you have installed and or the app that was running if any, when it locked up on you? I really don't understand how some of us could have freezing issues and some like myself, not have those issues and it not be the users fault, rather than the rom.

BTW' folks with freezing issues, are you using an app to close programs so that they aren't staying on in the background (unless you need them as in multitasking)?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Sorry, you can't have it that way. Kumar's roms are based on Windows Mobile 6.5.3+ which all have the bottom start menu design. However, he did cook a rom that is based on the older (stock OS) 6.5 rom which has the start menu button back at the top left. You can find it on the first page of this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Brother vplaza! I noticed you on the T-Mobile forum; Seems like we both love our HD2's and HD2 news.

Totally agree with you about the annoyance rather than a real problem for the send button. Also I'm wondering about how you're experiencing slowdowns. Are you using something to close apps? I have 118 cabs installed to main memory and I can run NDrive, nanoGroove, ListPro, Resco Explorer and Bluetooth, all at the same time, switching between them and feel no slowness at all. The only ram cleaner I use is part of the very useful SKTools. I also have Spb Backup, set to do a backup to my sd card, every day at 4am and with that it does a soft reset when done, so I get a soft reset each day to help clear thing up without having to think about it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
LOL, yeah, I love my HD2 all right.

I don't use a program to shut down apps when I hit the "X". Thought of doing that. But this happens so infrequently and after I do specific things that I don't think it's an issue. Specifically, I see some slowdown when I do the following:

Leave Google Apps running - I do this when I'm in the car and I notice that if I have it running for a while (over 30 minutes), when I switch to other apps, it can slow down for a few seconds.

Delete over 100 emails in Outlook - When I select and delete that many messages in my Exchange account, when I close Outlook, the device slows down a few seconds.

Play Tower Defense for an extended period - This is a buggy program that won't let me save my game, so I play it through. When I finish and it crashes, the phone slows down.

Again, no big deal. I run MMTaskManager to close all apps once in a while and CleanRAM Level 3 once in a while and my phone is just fine.

I just realized that you're kinda "cheating" with that daily soft reset. ;) No fair (j/k). That makes sure you start off with a clean slate daily. :D I rarely do or have to do a soft reset, even with these occasional things.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xzero101:
When will the Lite version be up ?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
well it did freeze which i felt was coming anyway....except i really think its me since its done it on the last 4 roms ive tried (stock, energy, 2.10.1 ship, kumar).

i have only installed 5 apps and i think its the opera 10 +flash thats causing it.

other than that ive installed:

sms time stamp fixer

color notifications for cht

ninja ducks opera mobile 10 + flash repack

notification extender (allows led to flash longer than 5 minutes)

omarket

has anyone else used any of these cabs without issue???? mianly opera 10??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Out of your list, I only have OMarket, so I can't help with the others. But, I know that OMarket hasn't caused any issues with my phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Hmm maybe it's all the emails. I don't go through nearly that many on my device. Also there is an app that does soft resets for you at any given set time. I just can't remember the name of it at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
No biggie. Like I said, it does this when I do any of those three things. And it doesn't grow into a bigger problem. My biggest concern was the HTC Messaging, but so far, so good. <fingers crossed>

And actually, you can set CleanRAM to run on a schedule as well, so every night, it could clean up and it's almost like doing a reset. Don't think it can do a soft reset though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] shah_vm:
i do agree with vplaza96. i also dont do reset very often unless some buggy application force me to do so.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gattaca714:
I'm on day 4 with the ROM, and it's absolutely great. I haven't had to do a soft reset since.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] neugroove:
Man, I'm seriously loving this rom! Smooth, stable, and no soft resets so far. I'm on 2.0 Prem.

My only question is... Does anyone know if the chainfire mod makes any difference on this rom? So far it seems as fast as other roms that had it. If not, faster.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
well i hard reset and havent installed any cabs other than omarket and ive gone a day without freezing. if it stays like this then this will be my permanent rom.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fivefingerdeathpunch:
so for the most part the new rom is working well for me. i was curious tho if anyone is having any problems with the actual phone part of the phone lol. its really laggy for me and the end call button on the screen doesnt work. i usually have to press the physical button instead which also locks the phone sometimes as well has ending the call. even then it lags a little until i load my home screen. not really sure why it does that. anyone know why or have a similar problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tmacgarris6727:
2.0 pre

rom is great but opera mobile 10 causing alot of problems with this rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Last person who had the same issues as you, started over and followed all the flashing steps, word for word and problems were gone. Try starting over with Task29 first, anti-virus off and don't use your pc for anything while flashing. and then do a hard reset after the flash and then try the phone before installing any apps.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I have Opera 10 downloaded from Opera, installed to main memory and have had no issues with it at all so far.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coburn_c:
I had some issues with the new lock screen today, wouldn't unlock.. not frozen just slid to the side and it stayed but didn't unlock, could even slide it back to center and repeat
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Very interesting. Same thing just happened to me....but it happened shortly after I installed the new Bing and used the turn-by-turn navigation. Prior versions of Bing never really worked well on my HD2, so I was hopeful that this new version was going to be different.

Prior to Bing, I had not experienced this issue with being unable to unlock the phone from the lock screen slider. Did just what you describe, can slide back and forth but not unlock.

I'm going to give Bing another chance since I like the new turn-by-turn navigation, but if it causes more headaches, it's back to Google Maps for me.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
my phone did the same thing. no big deal tho, just slide it the other way and it work. im just going on two days with my phone and it did bug out tho. the bottom bar that has start menu on it, doesnt show anything now. the buttons still work tho!?(e.g. send, back etc).

the only app installed is omarket. has anyone else had this problem?should i just hard reset and try again?

edit: it fixed itself without a reset. i love a rom that fixes itself.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] coburn_c:
ah me too, good call, reverting to bing version that still has gas prices ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Pocketnow.com did a review today of Bing 5.1 but I downloaded and installed it about 4 days ago. Today after reading the review, I gave it a try and just now, kept it running, turned my phone off and then on again and the slider worked the same as always over and over again.

Have you guys tried turning off the default slider and using the Co0kies Manila or HD Mini slider instead? Both are larger, look nice and best of all are at the bottom so one hand use is super easy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Haven't tried the other sliders with this ROM yet. Will give it a whirl.

What I did this afternoon that I think led to the issue was:

1. Search for an address.

2. Use Navigation and turn-by-turn.

3. Drove for about 15 minutes.

4. Exited Bing.

5. Left phone running.

6. About an hour or so later, turned on the phone and tried to unlock. It wouldn't and had to do a soft reset via the button on the back.

I'll try to replicate again tonight.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Co0kies lockscreen:

I'm sure you already know how but just in case anyone else reading this:

Menu> Co0kie's Home Tab Editor> Lockscreen settings> Enable CHT lockscreen and turn off the default one right below. You can also set when the lock turns on and off such as when you plug in your device, before and after a call, etc. Then at the bottom, Choose manila if you wan the one like in the screencap below. Or the HD Mini is different but nice too. After you Apply Changes and Exit, you can go back to Menu> Edit Lock Screen Layout and hold and drag almost everything you see on the lock screen, or just hold and object to bring up the selection changer. And then slide the slider to save changes and exit.

BTW' If you depend on GPS mapping I would highly recommend trying NDrive. I tried most of the GPS apps on the HD2 and Ndrive was the nicest in many ways. 300MB on your sd card for a few connecting states and just over 1GB for all of America (including Canada), Mexico, Virgin and Cayman Islands. It's interface is very smooth, super nice looking and very finger friendly (once you replace one file). I know Google and Bing are free but NDrive means I never have to worry about data single an am able to handle calls with no problem while using NDrive. All this from a guy who still uses the outdated GPS built into my car :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Can you list the apps you have installed? This happened to me on other versions, but not on 2.0 Classic. Also when it happened to me, it was with lots of apps installed so I never figured out what the cause was.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Go to remove programs and uninstall that cab and then a soft reset should do it unless it's one those that kinda screws things up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mikesaint27:
yes that enables it, but with that on when i hit the power button the screen turns off but no lockscreen comes up. i have to actually go through the software to turn the lockscreen on, then press the power button to turn the screen off

You also need to enable the "Lock on standby"

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
The same way you install any cab file: Connect your HD2 to your PC and copy over the files to your device. Copy them over by browsing to your device from My Computer on your desktop. Once copied over, use file explorer on your device, to browse to the files, click on them and the install will begin.
