1 instal hspl2, choose any version , , 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL probably, doesnt really matter so long as you choose one with HSPL in the code.)

2 flash rom of choice

3 if required flash correct radio

How to flash - put rom or radio .nbh file in a folder along with customruu.exe, connect phone to usb (boot to bootloader first if your phone currently wont boot to a running system, like for after you flash the rom but before you flash the radio)

EDIT - If you want to flash back to stock, you can do it by running the .exe, no need to extract the .nbh or use customruu.

no, there isn't.

Go with WWE 1.66 add Bsb tweaks setup all your bit's and bob's to only manually update and trust me the battery will last 3 times longer than that shipped O2 rom :)

It generally lasts me about 3 days between charges now..quite brilliant !

I don't know exactly what they have done with the rom but it must be fully allowing power save options

One small point the rom is generic so You may need to setup service provider details, that should not be to hard for You ;)
[HD2 General] qwerty1q:
Ok, I'll go for original 1.66 first.

I ve got vista 64, is there anything I should know before I start?

lets sum up I need:

- 1.66.HSPL or 2.08.HSPL (cld u give me a link pls)

- Rom RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.66.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.30.50.0 7U_2.06.51.07_Ship.exe

is it the best one?

- I dont need a radio in this case, do I?

How long will it take approximately to make a phone working in order to call and receive calls 1h?

Cheers
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
It takes about 10 mins to flash a ROM, so not long at all.

I have ported my number from 3 to T-mobile and the porting went ahead yesterday, and everything is ok in terms of calling, receiving calls.

However when I check Settings, About Phone, Phone identity, to old number (T-mobil) shows up.

I have switched it off and back on, I've removed battery & sim, but still old number showing.

Thoughts?
[Desire General] InspectorFrost:
Same for me...not overly bothered tho
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
it's because the new SIMs come with their own number programmed into the SIM.

You could change this on Windows Mobile by using the SIM manager and in the menu you had an option to change the 'My Numbers' stored on the SIM.

Don't know of any way to do this on Android.

Anyway, just save your number in the contacts list in 'Me'.

It really is nothing to worry about, but you can go ahead and dump the SIM into another phone to change the number if you really want to....
[Desire General] Rusty!:
It's annoying when you know it's wrong isn't it?

Mine read 'Unknown' so I took my SIM out, jammed it into my spare WM phone and programmed it in SIM Manger as mentioned above.

Android still reports it as 'Unknown', I can't win :o
[Desire General] zonkkk:
Yes I definitely want to change it... uhhh So no app for Android does this yet?
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
Depends. Personally, this wouldn't bother me in the slightest. My last windows mobile phone said unknown for the whole time i had it. Made no difference to me whatsoever. but that's just me. I have other stuff to get annoyed about :D

I guess it just can't read it from the SIM for some reason if it's still showing as unknown. And AFAIK there is no app for it. Although maybe someone else here knows otherwise?

Hello! Dunno if i put this thread in the right sub-cat. but mod can move this if thats the case.

My problem is that I cannot enable vibration for new text message. Im using a custom cooked rom (826x wm6.5) and under settings/sounds and notifications/notifications/New text message I can choose wich sound to use, if i want to display it on screen and flash light, but I cannot check the Vibrate box. Its there but is "un-checkable" ^^

Any solution for this?

[Desire General] inoffthepost:
The Desire will be my first smartphone. I wanted to know whether it's recommended to buy direct from a network provider.

T-Mobile seem to have some reasonable deals for the Desire. Do I buy direct from them, or look to somewhere like mobilescouk or another reseller, where I think the phone is unlocked and comes with no network branding? (but the overall price is higher)

From what I've read so far, it looks like the main concerns with buying direct would be about network specific 'crapware', and potential delays in updates to firmware/ROM.

What are the Pros & Cons of either option? Any thoughts please?
[Desire General] jannen:
My honest opinion is go for T-mobile... my handset will cost 24mths £330. But unlike just buying a handset from somewhere else, I get messages, minutes, internet included!

If want it unlocked I think it will cost £15. Regarding the updates not sure what the difference really is.. its my first Android phone and still learning (and not missing WinMo at all!)
[Desire General] daverave999:
I'm wondering about this myself. I have one on order from clove but my wallet is getting itchy. The 3G signal on t-mobile is dire round here.

[EDIT] SIM only from O2 will have to do I guess...
[Desire General] cez10:
i ordered mine over telephone from tmobile and waiting for it probably till tuesday

tmobile has the best offers on their webiste, all the other retailers have worst deals, though tmobile has simlocked handsets and retailers dont. but for £15 you can get it unlocked. and service is quite good and no problem with returns if you see any faults.

if you dont want tmobile then dont look at other providers webistes such as vodafone cuz their offer is crap comparing to i.e. mobiles.co.uk

carphone warehouses offer is also really expensive comparing with others however you get your phone straight without waiting etc

retailers tend to mess up delivery times and might have some problems with returns.
[Desire General] GGG10:
I am currently sitting here banging my head against the wall trying to decide what to do aswell.

I'm with 3 on a £15 sim only and very happy with their coverage and i know they are releasing it in 2 weeks or so but i am getting the urge NOW ! :o:D

It's so frustrating but i want to see what they're going to be offering contract wise.

Buying it unlocked now is going to cost me £400. 18 months with my current sim only on top would be £670.

A T mobile contract would be £434 over 18 months.

Every sensible bone in my body says don't buy it unlocked now but the evil bit inside me is shouting "don't get tied in, do it do it do it do it" 24 hours a day :D
[Desire General] daverave999:
I hear you with that. I've just been stuck with a SE C702 for 18 months and it's completely put me off contracts (and SE!). I'm probably going to wait for mine to come from clove just so I have the 7 day distance selling regs return period. Probably going with O2 PAYG as I hardly make any calls...

[EDIT] Also so I get the generic ROM without needing to do anything. I wouldn't want to kill my phone the first time I bought one SIM-free!
[Desire General] GGG10:
Yea the 7 day return period comes in handy.

Now looks like i will definitely be going unlocked because 3 have just released their contract price and it's not as good as T mobs.

Just have to decide if i keep the £15 sim only now. :cool:
[Desire General] inoffthepost:
Hi - thanks for the comments so far.

If you buy direct from T-Mobile, is the ROM somehow 'locked' - or can you download & install updated ROMs from HTC's website when they're made available?

And if the ROM is T-Mobile 'locked', can any previous T-Mobile HTC phone owners comment on what T-Mobile are like when it comes to updating ROMs?
[Desire General] cez10:
t-mobile phones are simlocked but unbranded, you can unlock your phone from their webiste for £15 which takes about a month or for 25Euros if you need it next day(from some website the link i forgot)

and if you decide not to unlock your device you will have to wait for t-mobile to release their version of the software htc released before
[Desire General] lumpaywk:
if you dont like the idea of being trapped then put it this way, if you have the upfront cash put that into a bank account and use that to pay the monthly bills that way if something new comes out you will be no worse off just buy that and pay off the contract and its still less. just go for it.
[Desire General] inoffthepost:
Are you saying that if I pay T-Mobile to get the phone SIM unlocked, that this would also unlock any restriction that T-Mobile have over the ROM? Is anyone able to confirm this?

TBH, having a T-Mobile 'tweaked' ROM, instead of an up-to-date HTC ROM, is the one thing that's putting me off from buying from T-Mobile. Looking at the threads about today's OTA firmware update, it appears T-Mobile are already behind the game. Or am I just worrying about something that I don't really need to? :confused:
[Desire General] cez10:
I am not 100% sure if unlocking debrands the phone as well

I think your worrying about something you dont need to :) t-mobile have the best offers on the market so far andI dont think it will change quickly, even if you choose to unlock your phone youre still saving money comparing to other retailers prices

ok

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] yabadabado:
Good Morning people,

After beeing a long time with an iphone, i got an Htc HD running on original WM 6.1.. Before the iphone, i got Qtek 2020 and S100 flashed.

A few years ago, there were not so many roms available so it was easy to choose one. But now lol I see so many releazes and different opinions :)

That's why, i write this little topic in order to ask wich rom to inject in My Htc HD blackstone.

Actually, My SPL is 1.54 with rom version 1.56.406.1 (43972) FRE

Radio version is 1.13.25.24

protocole version : 52.62.25.34U

Can you pleaze advice me wich latest rom based on WM6.5 to inject ? i see manila and some others but...

In fact, what i would like is to update from WM6.1 to 6.5 running smooth and stable.

Thank you for your help and have a nice day allzz
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] senseipetz:
Well.... The latest fastest, stablest and also running smooth and having no drain battery fast issues are from my point of view the Miri V38 with Manila 2.1. Sure, it is an WM 6.5 21893 Build, which is in the meanwhile a little bit old, but for daily use, it is perfect. Only sad thing is, that Miri decided to ride off from the HD ROMs and go over to burn HD2 ROMs.. But it was very stable ROM.... Thinking to switch back to them...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] _7_:
Hi,

Many, many, many threads have been posted about this topic and like you said yourself it's all personal, so there is really no good answer.

I can tell from my own expereience that most of the new roms are (almost) completely bug free (at least the real annoying bugs). I suggest you pick a few of the popular rom-threads and read the latest post to see what other people think of those roms.

There are two versions beeing cooked lately: the 5.2.91*** and 2.3.5**. I believe the first ones is at it's end of development and is very stable. The last one is a bit more finger friendly (buttons all below), is also fairly stable, but in my opinion a little bit slower then the first series.

To give you a little advice (but this is personal): I like Topix because of the stability, speed, fluity, low memory usage and battery time. I tried almost all the roms and I must say that the "Energy", "G10", "Mineterror", "Miri" and Dusk-evo roms are all good........aargh, who am I kidding, they are ALL good, so start reading, test a few and you decide what you like best.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
You've already got a couple of helpful posts which I feel is already too many

Opinionated threads are frowned upon in XDA as they create endless long threads due to each user having different opinions on which is best due to everyone having different tastes, i.e. what I like, you may not etc etc

If you're looking for the best one, then as a rule of thumb try flashing the roms in the threads which are used most often as surely these people cannot all be wrong ;)
