[HD2 General] yoojin1081:
Hey guys, I've been having a very annoying issue since updating to the latest energyrom April 1st 25344 build that I never had previously. After updating (I was previously using the March 26th build w/ no issues) I have noticed a sharp downgrade in resolution and graphics (wallpaper, text) on my home screen, including slider graphics and text.

The graphics and resolution are perfect on the lock screen and start menu, just the resolution on the home screen is the issue. When I switch the theme to windows default titanium, the graphics and resolution on the home screen becomes crisp and clear....switch back to htc sense and no matter what wallpaper I use, etc., the graphics and text become blurry/poor.

Please refer to the links to example pictures below:

Perfect resolution/graphics on lock screen - crisp and clear

Same background using home screen using Titanium - crisp and clear

Same background using HTC sense w/ nrgrom Apr 1 - pixelated poor resolution

http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j73/Darkjin/?action=view&current=ScreenShot1.jpg

I have tried everything I can think of to try to correct this and get back my crisp and clear home screen when using htc sense theme. I have even re-flashed to different energyrom builds, completely different custom roms, and even flashed back to the stock rom found on these forums (2.10.0). The home screen graphics downgrade stays even when I flash to those various roms! Before I updated to the newest energyroms, everything was crystal clear. This all happened right after I updated to the new April 1st build. I've posted numerous times on the energyrom thread, but no one seems to know what the issue is.

A few other notes: Before I flash I have ran task 29 format, and after flashing the custom rom, I've made sure no apps, fonts, etc were installed. Nothing I do seems to fix this issue. I'm using a T-Mo US htc hd2 w/ hspl2.

Please, if anyone is experiencing similar issues or know of any fixes any help would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to have to keep using titanium as my main theme just so I can have some crisp resolution and graphics on the home screen =(
[HD2 General] Reignzone:
I don't mean to address something off-topic here, but I'm interested in finding the theme, ROM, or .CAB file you used to redesign the standardized lock screen.

Care to enlighten me? Thanks.

Otherwise, I don't have any input for your problem... trust me, if I knew... I'd be more than willing to offer assistance.

there is a 3d driver u need to install but its the same on any rom... i use an all blk screen so there is no notice till the weather updates to the sun being full then u can see it but we all experience it but if u dont seach no one will help u..... look for the 3d driver for the hd2 i hav found it for the hd1 and ive seen it for the hd2 but its no biggie to me i hav and all blk theme...remember hd2 3d driver ... goodluck with that
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
best way to get wat ur lookin for is to goto a rom and ask the cook
[HD2 General] wingtytn:
and u are a lucky dogg... was lookin for sumthing new and came across this for u... good luck and remember seach it out
[HD2 General] yoojin1081:
I don't mind letting you know what I did. First off, I use a custom energyrom. It's one of, if not the most popular custom rom for the htc hd2 (all versions meaning USA and international). The lock screen you see is built into the newer versions of the energy custom roms...meaning you don't need a .cab, etc to separately install it if you choose to use this rom. You can download energyrom here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784

You don't need to search for a tmo-US version...all of his roms work on US hd 2's...he just left the tmobile stock folder (cabs) out (you can dl those cabs separately, there is a specific thread with the stock tmo us cabs in the forums).

If you want to stay stock or are using a different custom rom that doesn't have the lock screen feature, you can find the necessary .cab file to install this feature here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=637671

Scroll down the page and you should see the dl link for it amongst the tweaks. Hope this helps.
[HD2 General] yoojin1081:
Thanks for the tip buddy but I've always had chainfire's drivers when using energyrom. Are you sure that is the issue? That was one of the programs that I auto-installed using the built in xda uc feature in energyrom after flashing. Even without it, the home screen graphics have always been crisp and clear so I doubt it has anything to do with that.

When I re-flashed back to the stock rom, I still had the low-res home screen...and chainfire's drivers are not needed for the stock rom...it's more tailored to help when playing gl games and watching videos (for stuttering, etc).

Thanks for trying to help...I really have searched all day for any answers...trust me..anyone else have any other ideas? Currently I have used task 29 format, re-flashed to stock rom, and have absolutely nothing installed on the device...but the low res home screen graphics have remained.

sigh..
[HD2 General] drakolla:
Seeing how you look like the only person in the world with this issue :), I wanted to chime in saying that I have the same problem. I am using a Telstra HD2 and have been on Energyrom for a long time. I tried the same steps you did... I even flashed the stock Telstra ROM from storage card- which theoretically should blow everything away but I still saw the same issue. Since this was the old Telstra ROM, I was shocked. Then, I reflashed HSPL, and new roms, but to no avail. Hope someone at least recognizes the issue and comes up with a solution.
[HD2 General] methodz:
i am on the STOCK Tmo US rom and i have had pixelated fonts from the very start. it bothered me the first day and then i forgot about it until i saw this thread. now it bugs me again :(

kind of sucks, pixelated fonts on this gorgeous screen.
[HD2 General] yoojin1081:
Yea...I hear ya. I think I might know what the issue is...but I'm not positive yet. I believe nrg did some compression with the graphics on the April 1st rom, to increase performance. While I was using the March 26th build, I had been using hd wall because I wanted to use a nice high-res background that was fully transparent at the very top and bottom portions of the screen. Since I didn't want to go though the trouble of making my own hd wall screens...I had been using pre-made hd wallpaper (.cabs) from here ->

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601369

I installed the HQwallpaperpatch, than downloaded the .cab file of the wallpaper I liked along with the original wallpaper. I made sure to set the original picture as my background, than installed the .cab to get the transparent top and bottom portions of my homescreen.

I believe due to the compression that was done in nrg's Apr 1st builds, the hd wallpaper patch/wallpapers were no longer working like they were in the previous builds. So if you would like you could try to revert to a previous build, download hdwallpatch and try one of the .cabs from that link..it may work. When I get the time I will try it myself and post if it worked or not.

I came to this conclusion after I saw my friend's htc hd2 on stock rom. I was very surprised to see that his home screen was a bit pixelated....so I thought to myself...maybe it was because I was using the hdwallpatch and hdwallpaper that I had a crisp high-res home screen. Maybe the home screen was always a bit pixelated and I had just not noticed...

Hope that made sense!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
I've searched everywhere and I can't find an answer.

I purchased an HTC Touch for Sprint today, booted it up/unlocked it, and flashed Android. I realized that I never setup Power Vision in WinMo prior to unlocking/installing Android. I've tried to reinstall the Windows Mobile 6.1 stock rom that came with the phone so that I can get to the EPST menu and update my PV info, but the rom freezes at 29% when I try to flash it.

I'm not vary experienced, so please pardon me if there is a stupidly easy answer. I've flashed a 6.5 rom, but I couldn't figure out how to get to the EPST menu on it to auto-configure my data settings.

If anyone can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] billobob:
i also had a lock-up when flashing the official sprint ROM once, and i created a new windows account, re-downloaded the rom, and it worked. no idea why
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
Hey, what do you mean by a new windows account? Thanks!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] billobob:

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
If your using the unlocker .40 then that's why, use unlocker .34, only use unlocker .40 if your relocking your phone and flashing back to stock to send in for warranty repair, some phones don't like to flash from usb when relocking.

you might be able to get it to flash from the memory card if you put the nbh from the exe onto the mem card, etc.. or just try to flash a 6.5 rom.

if it just so happens that you can't flash anything and you can't go anywhere past the bootloader, take it into the store, tell them you turned it on and it wouldn't boot and they will take it into the back and reflash it, then start again from the beginning, but remember to provision your phone first.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
How can I flash 2.31 when I cant bring up activesync? (I dont have 6.1 installed)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Then take it to the store and have them reflash it for you
[Touch CDMA Android Development] tatnai:
put your phone in bootloader mode (tricolored screen, hold camera and power, then press and release soft reset). connect to your computer. download andn run the official sprint gps rom (not the stock rom; can use with unlocked phone, won't mess with the unlocker, here, under shipped gps rom newer version in post 1), and allow it to flash your phone. get 3g working however you can - even call sprint if you have to. then flash back to android.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
It's possible that he won't be able to flash at all, when mine screwed up and wouldn't let me flash none of the roms worked, even offical ones
[Touch CDMA Android Development] GeJohnO:
Fixed it. Flashed a custom 6.5 rom, ran activesync and flashed a .31 rom, installed stock rom, provisioned. Thanks for the help! I would have never figured out I had the wrong unlocker, haha.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrono:
Cool, glad to see you got it all figured out!
[HD2 General] sullitf:
So I've had this problem with pretty much every T-mobile phone I (and anyone I know) has had while being at college. I am in central time, but am only about 20 miles from the eastern timezone border and T-mobile is always trying to tell me I am in eastern time.

All of my old phones have had a simple setting to turn off automatic updates of the time, allowing me to set it to central time and not have to fool with it. I can't seem to find this setting for the HD2 though. I don't want to turn off HTC's location as that will stop the weather tab from being able to find me, and that isn't really the issue anyway. If anything the GPS should be telling my phone I am in fact in central time.

Does anyone know where to find the setting that stops the phone from updating it's time based on what the network says? If possible, is there any way currently to have the GPS set timezones for us, as that is going to be more accurate than what tower you are getting signal from?

Thanks!
[HD2 General] erebusting:
Idk if this will help you, but have you tried tapping on the clock on the home screen and you then can add your custom location or current location ....maybe there are other settings there also ?
[HD2 General] bigc07:
Go to settings>menu>all settings> date and time, there you should be able to change the time zone.
[HD2 General] partie:
This works fine but there is no option for Daylight savings time. Must have over looked it. Just select central time and manually change one hour ahead.
[HD2 General] toohightocomply:
I personally have called T-Mobile about this and even speaking with a Teir 2 I am disappointed. They reset my ports and the time zone correctly updated, then as soon as I left my house and headed downtown it changed. Guess what, as soon as I got back home later it changed back to Pacific.

On the HD2 the option to change the timezone is greyed out indicating that it is updated from the carrier. I have changed the other settings every which way with no avail.

My theory is that the HTC Sense "Weather" app automatically updates the Time and Weather based upon the GeoLocation info. The name of my city is Portland and I suppose it thinks im in Oregon!
[HD2 General] sullitf:
I have tried the various clock settings but to no avail. I can click on the flipclock and change the time manually, or even pick my own location rather than using Sense's "My Location" option. This works for a little while, but when the wether updates it's weather data it also changes my location.

I have also gone into the All Settings->Clocks & Alarms and changed the time zone manually which also works temporarily, but again once Weather updates the timezone is changed.

BsB Tweaks has a setting for Auto Sync Clock which is precisely what I need turned off. Oddly enough, there is something outside of BsB that overrides it's setting and turns the Auto Sync Clock setting back on.

It completely boggles my mind what is going on here. In theory the Sense's weather app should not directly affect whether or not the system clock is synced with the network time/timezone data. More so, if Sense decides it must update the clock whenever it finds the weather location/data it should be able to update the clock based on what timezone my GPS location is within.

Maybe there would be a way to add this feature in, though I'm not sure exactly how to go about it as I haven't done any tweaking and hacking on WinMo in years. It would be best for everyone if our clock was synced with the My Location data, as this gives an extremely precise understanding of what timezone I am in.
[HD2 General] VHAHONGRANTC:
The automatic timezone settings may be in the phone settings and not the clock settings. Try going into the dialer then select Menu--> Options and click the Timezone tab. Then uncheck the the box to automatically update.

I do not have a T-mobile USA HD2 yet (mine is on order), so this is an assumption as that setting is available on my Diamond. If you don't see a TimeZone tab, it could be that T-mobile is hiding it. In which case there is probably a regedit to re-enable the tab so this can be unchecked.

Hope this helps. :)
[HD2 General] sullitf:
hadn't thought about looking in the phone settings for the clock synchronization, great idea! that may have lead me to the solution, I'll see what happens in the next few hours.

Here is what I did...

Settings-> all settings-> personal-> phone->GSM/UMTS tab-> time synchronization-> get settings> uncheck auto time synchronization

I don't think they could have hidden that simple setting anymore if they tried! hopefully that will do the trick, thanks!
[HD2 General] mrkevinhall:
Time Change

My phone was doing the same thing, thanks for the fix. Duhhh, did it again this time i manually added my city and the correct time for it however the tab with current location is still an hour ahead, crazy. Help...

HTC HD2 (Leo) Time Zone Problem (Greyed Out)

Almost - My HTC HD2 (Leo) goes: Settings ->Menu->All Settings->Clocks&Alarms

Then click the 'Time' tab, and there's a dropdown where you can choose your time zone. You'll almost certainly have to set the time dropdown as well (just under the time zone dropdown).

But you're right - they certainly conceal this most primary of settings very thoroughly!

Cheers, Mark

Hallo everybody,

I just want to ask how I can built in SDKCERT directly into ROM.If I want to convert SDKCERT.CAB to EXT then after I have again CAB so newerending story.
[Windows Mobile] hilaireg:
You won't need to use the SDKCERT package. If you are using Ervius Visual Kitchen for example, all you need to do is ensure that Disable Cert(ificate) checking is selected. This way, your compiled ROM will already have Certificate checking disabled allowing you to install updated drivers and such.

This tutorial discusses some of the changes you'll likely need to make:

HTH,
[Windows Mobile] faria:
if you still need it ,here its is. just add to any package.
[Windows Mobile] Johan Kraczmar:
Thank you very much!!!
[Windows Mobile] faria:
Np.:)

Here is a little tip for future...

most certificates are in cab form,open the cab with winrar,you will see a file called;_setup.xml, that is the cert info.

just rename _setup.xml to mxip_999_certname.provxml and you done.:)
[Windows Mobile] Lewy1:
Did I understand correctly that I would need to add this to each package that needs a certificate?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile] af974:
He said that you need to add this in every cab that need certificates, if you use EVK or Oskitchen you dont need anything because they auto patch the certs.
[Windows Mobile] Lewy1:
Thanks. The problem is that I've tried quite a few times to install the Vogue Camera as an EXT with EVK, and I always end up with the "The file 'camera' cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's components cannot be found." etc.
[Windows Mobile] af974:
Did you tried the solution in post #3?

For which device are you trying to install?...from Vogue to -> ?

Sometimes from different devices isnt a certificate fault but some missing dll.

Check for this app Dependency walker and search if you have all the modules to make run camera Vogue.
[Windows Mobile] hilaireg:
Hi Lewy1,

You are missing a package dependency. If you navigate to the .\Windows folder using File Explorer on your device and try and launch the Camera application, you will encounter an error - confirming that you have dependency issue.

Have a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4259031&postcount=1070

HTH,
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, that is just a generic error message, and it almost never has anything to do with certs. You could be missing dependencies, or it could just be that you have a broken shortcut. One of the problems with the 6.5 start menu is that you can't always tell just by looking that the shortcut is effed, because you may have an ico assigned through the registry. Use Total Commander to see if you have the correct shortcut path.
[Windows Mobile] Lewy1:
First of all, thanks guys for your help!:)

Yes, your right that the problem is also when I try launching the camera from the windows directory. Now the problem is that I don't understand too much when it comes to digging into the contents of these files, so I think I'll need some help.

I assumed I needed Dependency Walker which you wrote about in your Kitchen Utensils review, so I opened the camera.exe and the results are attached as a Dependency Walker Image. The camera EXT I have come from converting a cab that's been floating around XDA. By the way I had the same problem when using the mega camera.

Thanks so much for the patience and help.
[Windows Mobile] hilaireg:
Had a look at the .DWI file you attached. Your next steps:

Create a folder on your system (ex: C:\WINMO_OS)

Copy all of the camera package files to the folder.

In DEPENDS, remove all of the "Module Search Order" paths - Options menu.

Add the folder path (ex: C:\WINMO_OS)

Search your kitchen for each file that is listed in CAMERA.EXE and copy them to the folder.

Once you have the files from CAMERA.EXE in the folder, open each of the yellow ( ? ) files.

Repeat the steps above until you have examined all of the files in the folder you created.

Essentially, you want to locate all of the files listed in each .DLL, .EXE, etc. that is displayed in DEPENDS.

If the files appear in the .\SYS or .\OEM folder, it's likely those aren't the issue. Some files may be modules; it's likely those aren't the issue as well - I usually RECMOD a copy of the file and place it in the folder or I copy it from the device when connected using USB. This will reveal additional files that are "missing". I suspect you will discover the missing dependency to be in another file. If you find the files in packages, it's likely the entire package is a dependency. If you can't find a file, make note of it and continue on. At the end, post the list of files you couldn't find.

Lastly, examine each of the .REG files for references to other files; you may need to do a global search through the kitchen to find other packages that may be writing to the same keys ... these will likely be dependant packages as well.

HTH,

* EDIT *

If at all possible, it would be beneficial for you to find the official source ROM that the package originated from.
