Since you don't have any apps installed, you might want to flash again, following the guidelines to the letter if you didn't already do so the first time around (couldn't hurt :))

Even at my devices worst, what you described seems much worse in terms of how much battery drain you've experienced.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] toygixxer69:
and yes, i had no program running in the background when i looked up with TaskManager.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] toygixxer69:
I let it drained down to 0%, and still trying to drain some more by powering it up every 5 minutes. I had not let my battery drain eversince i bought my phone a week ago. Maybe and hopefully that's all i need. If not, then i'll flash again.

Okay, someone help a brotha out. Is the MyAccount app on the 2.1 Beta? I wanted to see how that worked.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Check one of the start menu sub-folders, it should be in there unless he removed it in 2.1. Personally, not a fan of the cloud; storing my contacts and backups online.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Hmm, are you thinking of the MyPhone app? The MyAccount app just came out with the official T-Mobile ROM updated. It wasn't in the original stock ROM, if I understand correctly.

Keyboard

Just flashed Prem V2.0 and noticed the letters "y" and "z" on the keyboard are switched, so its not "qwerty" but "qwertz". Did I miss a cab? I searched for a fix but couldn't find any result/solution. I checked under settings and tried the tutorial which showed "qwerty." Was it cooked like this?

So far this is the only cosmetic issue I have of Prem V2.0
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Hmm, I don't recall that being the case when I had 2.0. It's also correct on 2.1 Beta.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Yup! I was mistaken there, got them mixed up :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Phastdriver:
Here's my screenshots, will try to reflash when I have time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Wow, that is really odd. I'm pretty sure I would have noticed that on 2.0 since I had it for over two weeks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Muki314:
Everyone keeps mentioned to follow the flashing procedures to a T.

What are they?

I have a custom ROM on it currently using these procedures in the thread "Flashing your First GSM USA..."
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
The procedures in that thread are what I believe people are referring to. If you follow those steps, you should be okay. Some folks add other steps, but I haven't had to do anything other than what is in that thread.

To all the fans of Kumars ROMS and the HD2, I need your help. I am running version 1.2. I am very happy with it. I do not flash every new ROM because I use my phone for business and can't go a day without it if I screw something up.

My question is what was the last version of Kumar ROMS that used 6.5 instead of 6.5.x? Is it 1.4? I have tried a couple of other 6.5.x ROMS and have not been as satisfied as I am with the Kumar 1.2 version I am running.

Am I missing out on something? Is there a noticeable difference from 6.5 to 6.5.x? Email, Internet and txt's are what I use most and I like the original look his older Roms have.

Thank you in advance for any responses.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I believe there is a separate thread for his ROMs based on 6.5. It looks like on that thread, the last version of that line of ROMs is v1.3.

I have not tried his 6.5-based ROMs, but I like the finger-friendliness onf 6.5.x. I like the start button on the lower left as well. And it's been a while since I was on the stock ROM, so I've really forgotten how 6.5 was.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jcbofkc:
Thank you for responding. I think I may give his newest premo version a run tonight. Just a side note. I have been mostly a lurker trying to learn by reading, but have noticed you are good about replying to questions. It is very much appreciated.

Do you have a radio preference that works well with the newest Kumar version? And do newest builds based on the recalled T-Mobile update effect anything? Anything I should be leery of?

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] k20a1:
seems like the premium without htc messaging link isnt working? ive been stuck at that page for atleast 15 minutes already and it still says waiting for 4share on the progress bar.

any ideas?

Edit:

nevermind after clicking refresh many times it finally loaded :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
I'm still on the stock radio. I'm waiting to hear from more people about what radio seems to give the best results. I'd like to have one that can connect to the 3G network in my area better, but I can wait.

The latest released build for 2.0 is not based on the recalled T-Mo update. Now, the test/beta 2.1 is based on the 2.13 ROM, which is what the recalled T-Mo update was also based on, but I'm not 100% sure our chef incorporated the actual T-Mo update ROM in his 2.1 beta. Missing things, such as the MyAccount app leads me to believe it's not, but he can clarify.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rick Chase:
i am currently on the 2.10.50.19_2 radio and like it. it gave me way better battery life than stock and also a little better than the newest official 2.10.50.26 radio. im in central florida.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jcbofkc:
Thank you. I went through the radio thread but was looking for info geared towards Kumar ROMS. I am in eastern Kansas and have OK signal. I have trouble getting 3G at work. Not sure if anything will help, but I am willing to try.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Phastdriver:
Thanks, really never checked that option with previous versions, had it on German.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
This sounds interesting as I have always been on and still am on the stock radio. I guess it's time for me to research the radio you are using......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gattaca714:
Kumar,

Can you update post #1 with the radios that work with your rom for the USA version.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fivefingerdeathpunch:

If you are in my area, do you mind sharing what radio you are using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erick10:
Hey guys, I need your help. First of all let me say the Kumars rom im on is very fast and stable. Im using V2.0 Classic without htc messaging.

Now the bad.

For some reason, the stock htc keyboard does not register correctly when im typing. This leads to many mistakes, more than the stock t-mobile usa rom which was not to bad.

Even if I try to type at a modern speed, I will end up spelling incorrectly a word. I know it has a problem as I own another T-Mobile USA HD2 with stock rom and keyboard is not as bad.

Second, my battery life is horrible. I was at school today and at 2nd period, and my battery was at 90%.

I know it doesnt sound bad but it was barely 10:00 am and I disconected my phone at 7:50 am. I only fired about 5 texts with no browsing or nothing. It was just in my pocket.

Ive heard many say to reflash, what do you guys say?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fivefingerdeathpunch:
overland park and lawrence

radio: 2.08.50.08_2

it isnt terrible but i kinda expect better. edge is usually what i get and i normally get at least 3 bars of that. hsdpa and 3g are occasional but when i do get them i usually get 3+ bars. i do feel my service jumps alot even when still though
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] harman2:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xr3al:
I'm in Gladstone area, but work near downtown kcmo I use radio: 2.08.50.08_2 also I get really spotty 3G inside anywhere, but outside I get full 3G. I tried the bundled radio with the new update, and was unable to hardly pull an Edge connect with it.

Anyone having issues with Outlook mobile? After a while it will have problems downloading emails. I have it set to manual send receive and sometimes when hitting send receive it will get stuck on looking for changes and the whole phone starts to lag and lock up. I am on 2.0 premium with HTC messaging. The only way to fix it is to do a soft reset. Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fivefingerdeathpunch:
i personally believe outlook mobile is the source of all my random lockup issues and yes i have had it lag intensely on looking for changes.

what server is your email updating from? is it like a yahoo gmail etc? how many emails are on that server? i have a yahoo and exchange and my yahoo had over 6000 on the actual server because i have always used an outlook and i never deleted the emails from the actual server. after i did that the freezing basically stopped. yesterday being the first time in a month or two. i believe that one was caused by my exchange server though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jeck77:
This is actually through my work's pop server. My Gmail on Exchange works no problem. I even did a hard reset on the phone, and the first time I did a manual send receive, the phone locked up and starting lagging again. I might just have to reflash...sigh
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
I keep getting an error when trying to flash the ROM and having to go through the recovery. Does anyone what the problem could be? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
What error message are you getting and when/where do you get it? On the PC or phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
in the custom ruu when the flash process begins it sits there for a minute saying updating ROM image and it stays on 0%. then it tell me there was an connection error or something and to start the recovery process and to start the flash process again. tried it twice now and both times it gave me this error.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
It sounds like ActiveSync may not have installed all the USB drivers properly. Try connectimg to a different USB port and wait to make sure it loads and installs all the drivers without errors. What OS are you running on your pc?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
i'm trying it on xp here at my office. i will try it on my vista machine when i get home. i flashed the hardspl on this usb port with no problems right before i tried flashing the ROM. i appreciate the help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
One more thing to try...disable your AntiVirus app.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
yeah i'm still having that problem. any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] erick10:
Guys I have really bad battery life on Kumars V2.0 Premium/without htc messaging.

Do you recommend to reflash again?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
Well i'm stilling having the problem and was going to just try to flash without active sync. the only thing was after reading the instructions the last part confused me a little.

8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

Am i supposed to hit a tiny reset button on the phone? I don't think i see on on the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
There are two types of reset: Soft Reset which just clears the ram and can be done by clicking the reset icon located in the Start Menu> Tools folder of Kumar ROMs. Also a soft reset can be done by taking off the battery cover, and tapping the little red button located next to the Micro SC card slot. Then there is a hard reset which can be done by going to Settings> Security> Factory Reset. After flashing you should do a hard reset and then you should be good to go. Take a look at this post I made, with step by step instructions and then another with a lot of the same info.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
okay i'm having some issues. when i had my tp2 i never had this much trouble flashing a rom. so trying to do it with active sync wasn't working so i thought i'd try to do it from an sd card. and now when starting up the bootloader it just stays on the loading screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Did you read and follow the steps from the links I gave you above? Also you might want to download the ROM again as it may have got corrupted. I have flashed Kumars ROM's many times for myself and for half a dozen others now, all from a USB connection with no problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
yes i've read the instructions. i've flashed roms before. i've tried it on 2 different computers with different downloads so i know it's not the rom something being corrupted. active sync is telling me there is an error when i use the custom ruu and puts me through recovery. doing it from the sd card it just gets stuck on the loading screen. i don't know what the problem is.

when i try to use the custom ruu it gives me an error that says there is has encountered communication errors during the update process.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ReggieA86:
thats odd

are you making sure that your phone is connecting fully before flashing? there are only a few reasons why one would get a communication error one being the phone is not connecting properly. 2 maybe the usb port your using could be causing it and the list goes on. which version of wdc are you using??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
on my machine at home i have vista so i have wdc 6.1. doesn't work there. i brought it to the office and am on xp so i have active syn 4.5. same problem here. i've tried different usb ports, i've tried doing a hard reset and letting the drivers reinstall on the usb. it says connected on active sync before i start flashing. i'm kind of at a loss here

i have noticed one thing. active sync or wdc closes when i start the custom ruu. is it supposed to do that?

the thing that is bothering me is that it won't even update from the sd. that has nothing to do with active sync. should i try to reflash the hspl again? could that be the problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donwonlee:
I appreciate the help you guys have tried to give me. i flashed the hspl again and it is working now. weird though i don't know what happened the first time
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
Good to hear you found a solution. You're right, odd that the original HSPL didn't seem to "take". But it's good that you were able to flash HSPL again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vplaza96:
AFAIK, the pics I send out reach the recipients in normal size. I'll doublecheck though.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ssconceptz:
After testing these roms on my device, I highly recommend the Classic version with the HTC Messaging over the rest as it was the most stable and gave me no issues at all.

BTW Do you plan on releasing a 2.13 version? It would be great if you did as all issues seem to be resolved in 2.13!

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Good to hear! Now enjoy the best HD2 ROM in all the world.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Totally agree about 2.0 Classic. However, 2.13 has been reported to have many problems and it's just been pulled by HTC/T-Mobile because of those issues. Last night I decided to try another ROM (Chucky GTX ROM) based on 2.13. Sadly, the complaints people were reporting, showed up right away. Chucky's ROM is very lite and even faster than Kumar's ROM but his new 2.13 version leaves you needing to tap on almost everything, extra hard if not twice. They really screwed up the touch on 2.13 just as people are reporting. But it was no big deal for me because I was also doing a test of Spb Backup. Before I flashed to Chucky's ROM, I did a full Spb Backup to my SD card. The backup took about 10min and was about 400MB in size due to all the apps I have installed to main memory. And after testing the Chucky ROM, I flashed back to Kumar's and then did a full restore of my Spb Backup and all is 100% perfect and right back to where I was. Even my ActiveSync partnership worked without any issues. I love this because it means we can test new ROM's and or restore our devices, should we manage to really screw things up.

I HIGHLY recommend everyone use Spb Backup. And even if you don't want to purchase the app, it does have a free trial and when you create a backup, the backup does not need the app to do a restore so your backup will always be there for use even after the trial ends.

Now I'm going to test Spb Backup's ROM upgrade mode. I've read some people say it works and others say no. But it would be nice to be able to restore a backup to a new ROM version.....

One more thing: So I called Sprint and they said they would have the HTC EVO 4G in tomorrow for me to test. I plan to really test it out, side by side with my HD2. I'll even try to make a video if I can and report back on how it stacks up against our Kumar HD2's.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] secano:
You had to make me jealous ...:p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Really the only reasons I'm considering the EVO is because every app is finger friendly and app development will continue. I'm very happy with the HD2 but developers walking away from WM6.5 is going to hit us more and more as time goes on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
The HD capabilities of the evo, don't really interest me even though filmmaking is my greatest passion. I've read enough reviews now, to know that I was correct in assuming that the evo's 8MP camera uses the same small sensor that the HD2 has. To sum it up, more MP's with the same sensor, does often times equal images that are not much improved. also the 720 video has been reported in at least 2 tests I've read about, as being good but not good enough to replace a camcorder.

All the hours I've put into the HD2 and now I'm considering moving on already. I'm going to have to be very hard on the evo and it's gonna have to really wow me for me to leave my HD2..........I hope it being a little thicker than the HD2, doesn't bother me because I think that the HD2 is the perfect size........
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Nice clocks to add to your HD2

Came across this article about all the nice clocks you can install to your device. The article links to a lot of different pages on mostly xda where you can download the ones you like. I think I ended up downloading and saving over a 100 of them: http://pocketnow.com/tweaks-hacks/over-670-clocks-for-co0kie-s-sense-25-home-tab-mod
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ReggieA86:
I agree

Ashma,

I totally agree with you on Spb!! I 2 have that on my phone and its beautiful how easily it restores your info back.

P.s. How in the hell did you manage to get Sprint to do that??lol I wanna test one 2!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
I was assuming it was all Sprint stores? I just called them to ask when they would have a working demo because I remember I did the same thing with T-Mobile and got to test the HD2 a few days before it came out. Try calling your local Sprint store. When I called, the sales guy said "we have them in stock and we will have them out for display on the 28th but we can't sell them until the 4th."

Just thinking out loud here - I spent a little time looking at Android apps and I really don't understand all the web talk about Windows Mobile being so ugly compared to Android. A lot of the best apps on Windows Mobile, aren't on Android and or look really unpolished. I really don't know if I can live without all my Spb and Resco apps.....I'm thinking maybe all the many, MANY flashes I've done with my HD2, has me feeling like the HD2 is already getting old even though it's only been 2 months. I'm sure though, if I do end up with the evo, it will start to feel old too as all technology does.......
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ReggieA86:
ooohhh so do you have to have service with them???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AshMa:
Nope! I'll be a new customer if I do go for it. On my way there in about an hour. Called him back just to make sure I wasn't wasting my time driving there. Asked if I would be able to power it on and test it for a good 30min and he said no prob. :D

Question

Hi guys,

No doubt this is the fastest rom on xda for the HD2, especially when considering how stock the rom is. Well done to you Kumar!

I have a question. Is there a way to get back, across the top of the taskbar, the E/G/3G/H symbol. I am aware that these symbols (small) occurs above the reception bars (H has never appeared to me though).

However, the 'big' data connection symbol that usually appears to the left of the reception symbol is completely missing.

Anyone know how to restore it? I have done a lot of searching, with many saying it is a registry setting, but i have had no luck.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] daviefl86:
pls some one answer..!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
For moving the icons in start menu, Just press & hold over any icon in start menu and then you can move the icon anywhere in the start menu.

For organising the programs to new folders,

Browse to "/Windows/Start menu/Programs" folder and then create any folder and cut and paste the link files inside the program folder to any new created folder.

Beware, the custom icons may not display properly on moving the programs to different folder.
