[Droid Incredible General] JermsMalibu:
I came from AT&T when I got the Incredible. I live in Salem Oregon and Verizon's map shows that my house and a very large surrounding area are full 3G coverage. However, at my house I get 0-2 bars (-89 to -107 db). I've dropped a few calls and the internet is VERY slow. When running speed test, I get anywhere from 39kb to 134kb down and 40kb to 193kb up. I finally went out and bought a wireless router for my house just so I could have a decent internet connection on the phone (through wireless of course). There is a tower about a mile from the house and I get great reception there, but it VERY quickly disipates and leaves me with little signal. In many places around town I only get 1-2 bars (-83 to -95 db) so it's pretty ridiculous. Considering CDMA towers are supposed to be able to send their signals a VERY long way, I'm quite dissapointed in the network here. However, at my work I have full bars and anywhere from -65 to -83 db and I get ~2100 kb down and ~900 kb up. Too bad my house, where I want to use the internet more, has horrible coverage.
[Droid Incredible General] mmmark111:
Verizon is where it's at in NH. I have only dropped to 1X in one town that is in the middle of nowhere and I have solid 3g everywhere else. Down speeds are usually hovering around 2 mb/s. I was with good 'ole magenta for a while but they only have 3g in larger areas like Portsmouth and Dover.

Hi all,

My softkeys don't work long time ago so I have found solutions to:

- Use the multimedia player: You can remap the buttons like play, next...

- I have redesigned home screen to put the sms on the top.

- Use the red button to lock the phone

- Use the power button to change the sound profiles.

But I don't know how to unlock the phone using another keys instead the left softkey. Anybody know how to do this?

Best regards,

I have read numerous threads in this forum and in the regular LEO forum. And in the LEO forum, Task29 is mentioned sporadically... however, I haven't come across any instance in the TMOUS HD2 forum from any chef recommending doing a Task29 prior to flashing a ROM. Are there any benefits (real or perceived) from doing a Task29 on a TMOUS HD2?

Also, one other thing (probably should start a separate thread for this), but does anyone have degradation of the 3G signal when they place their hand over the bottom half of the back of the HD2? If I lay my TMOUS HD2 on a table, I get 3 or 4 bars of 3G signal. Then, if I pick it up and hold it at the bottom, it drops to 1 and sometimes back to EDGE. This has happened on all radios that I have tried. Anyone else have this happen? I live in the southeast US.
[HD2 General] mastajest:
while most chefs don't necessarily specify task29, most if not all recommend a hard reset after installing a new rom. task29 is pretty much a super hard rest. personally I do both, but that might just be overkill.

yes, that happens to me as well when i pick up my phone. although i think that's normal, for your hand to block the signal.
[HD2 General] Jackdog89:
I believe the antenna is in the bottom of the phone, which could be a possible reason for the drop in signal when you pick up your device.
[HD2 General] joshkoss:
Hey Man, moved you over to general as there is already a discussion on task29 in the leo forums..

umm as a chef i recommend it before flashing because it will clear the memory more thoroughly.

It's not Necessary per say but recommended.
[HD2 General] ahijada:
It's nice to clean out old traces of memory from flashing and flashing and flashing... It's nice to start clean.
[HD2 General] justwonder:
I think static electricity from the body interfere the radio signal, does anyone notice there are two contact points in battery cover?, I think battery cover is antenna

Hi Everybody. This is my first post here :)

I own an HTC Touch (Vogue) from Orange (Spain) and I would like to install WM 6.1 on it. Orange does not provide with WM 6.1 and I found on the internet that there is a Sprint version of it, so I decided to install it. I get "Error 270" it says the image is corrupt. I tried to make an splxploit-windows and nothing happens... I took a screenshot (attached file) of what I get... and it stays there. Nothing happens at all.

I tried to install other versions also... HTC Magician and others just to see what happens and always I get "Error 270". The only one I could install successfuly is the Orange Rom

I tried everything and can´t find a solution. Any help there please?

Thanks a lot! =)

PD: I am using Windows XP, ActiveSync 4.5 and in SPLXPLOIT-WINDOWS I am following this steps (I get stuck in step 4)

1) manually start in bootloader mode

2) disable USB in activeSync

3) check 'usb' appears at the bottom of the tricolor screen and that he device is recognized by XP. If not, try unplugging/repluging

4) run the corrected unbrick.bat

5) while still in (new) tricolor screen after loader update, upload a new ROM

[HD2 General] Mega Maniac:
:D

The title of the thread is just to get all you fine people steaming in here to tell me off. But now your here by your own free will...

I've been a long time browser of these forums and recently a more active member. I used to be a very amateur coder when I was yonger and know to a small extent the hard work you guys put into these roms, so seriously to everyone congratulations on some amazing efforts.

I did want to address the reason topic titles such as the one I chose here crop up however. When I had a diamond before my HD2 there were just a few good roms to choose from and I soon settled down and chose one after trying them out. A few months back I started this same process with my HD2 but found every ROM I flashed to have a few bugs which annoyed me in day to day use, and I eventually went back to stock. Since then I havn't really tried again.

Today I have again been looking at perhaps flashing to a cooked ROM and in the beginning of these efforts I tried out the search term "best HD2 ROM". The threads that resulted were obviously very short and the authors told off for being lazy and discrediting the great works of all the chefs here. But the very good point is made that there are ALOT of ROM's for the HD2, and whilst it may only take 5 mnins to flash a ROM it takes hours, if not days, to find out if it suited to you. With the risk of losing personal info on each flash and having to reconfigure your apps each time this can be a very tedious process.

I'm basically wondering if there is any way to have a thread that can provide a way of rating the advantages and disadvantages of each ROM without having to wade through topics with hundreds of pages of mostly useless posts. It just so daunting with all these ROM's that many people may never even start.

I am just now thinking of flexing my (somewhat out of date) webmastering ability to create a "ROM Review" website - good idea?

What are people's thoughts?

p.s. This is probably also in the wrong section of the forum... just clicked "new topic" where I was browsing without thinking where it should go, please move if appropriate, thanks.
[HD2 General] demon-resident:
I completely agree with your idea to open this thread.

Finally we have someone who wants to put it to rights. Because every day we have new ROM or several ROM's, and every time flashing and soft re-installation takes a lot of time... and after all that you understand that "this ROM is not really what you wanted to be"...

Go on with your idea.. and I think - this section is the right place for your thread.
[HD2 General] sike222:
you got my vote
[HD2 General] Mega Maniac:
Good to see I'm not alone here, any feedback is much appriciated, even if its just a +1 :)
[HD2 General] behappy:
Agreed, Sir.
[HD2 General] sike222:
This was taken from another thread about a similar question

"I also see no point to a list of pro's or cons of any particular ROM as most are built for the same thing, speed and stability. The only real differences you are going to see are what programs the person has loaded."

If this is indeed the case. then a list of the roms with the space taken up by the rom on the phone. the apps installed and how quick, stable each one would be must surely be a good idea?

I truly hope you can follow through with your idea.
[HD2 General] tictac0566:
I think there is no such thing as "the" best ROM.

Each user has different preferences, especially WinMo smartphones are

rarely one the same like another: Included software, tweaks, mods, themes, designs.

The possibilities are endless.

Also, an earlier thread here at the HD2 forum about speed (with benchmarks

as neutral as possible) ended up in unfriendly discussions (which is a mild

term to describe what happened).

An HD2 is so extremely fast that I seriously doubt that the "average" user

can tell a big difference between different ROMs. Sometimes, a buggy ROM

may be obviously slower, but in the average case, the difference will just

not really be felt, but only perceived, sometimes only imagined.

I think that it is part of this forum that there is no rating of the available

ROMs. If you watch the forum, you can easily find out which ROMs seem to

have more acceptance and therefore more fans - and if you check the ROM

description and screenshots of the chef, you can easily find out if the ROM

is something you might like.

Just to finish: How exactly does a ROM qualify as "the best"? Speed? Come

on... Software which comes with it? Come on, again...

Imho, it all ends up in optical mods and tweaks plus some extremely basic

software which is really a must for everybody. If you would ask me what

this could be, I cannot give you any name because WinMo and Manila are

on most ROMs anyway...
[HD2 General] Ouzo:
I couldn't agree more Mega. Very brave of you to start this thread ; )

I was a bit of a flashaholic with both my Elf and my Raphael, but I still haven't flashed anything to my Leo because it's so hard to figure out exactly what I'm going to get. Apart from the features of each ROM, it's hard to get an idea of the things that might be missing from each. Like, have the original bugs been fixed? Stuff like the audio booster turning off, AAC files being mis-sorted in the audio player, volume keys still active when the screen is off and incremental volume control or even the relative volume between headphones and phone speaker. I just can't be bothered to start flashing a million ROMs to find out. That's not laziness by the way, honest! I'm sure I'll get over it and start flashing soon ; )
[HD2 General] zelendel:
I agree, how would one rate the BEST? Well to be honest you cant really as each person has there own needs and wants in a rom. What might be an Ideal rom for me might not be the best rom for you. I could rate a rom at 10 and you might give it a 2, then it turns into a bashing session and that can not be allowed. The rating system has been brought up many times before and each time it comes to the same end. There will never be an accurate way to tell the best rom. I am not trying to be harsh here but threads like this are beating a dead horse.
[HD2 General] zelendel:
After speaking with the OP I have decided to reopen this thread. On the condition that this is "NOT" a best rom thread. This thread will be to help those that are new to ROM flashing. I will be keeping an eye on this thread and if it turn into a Best rom or bashing thread I will reclose it for good. I understand that sense the release of the HD 2 that alot of people are new to WM and with the available options in the rom thread it can be confusing. I am also moving this thread to the General Section as it is not Rom development. To all the new guys welcome.
[HD2 General] Mega Maniac:
Just wanna say thanks to Zelendal, the topic title originally wasn't constructive.

As we all know from doing a little reading about the ROM's, each one can be individually suited to different people, it like argument about which is the best smart phone or computer platform. So the kind of discussionj I was trying to provoke was about the best way to help out newcomers decide which ROM would indeed be best suited to them.

As I posted before I have been pondering making a seperate website that would allow some organisation of peoples opinions on the ROM's and I am interested as to how much support there would be amongst the community, I am also interested as to how the Cook's themselves would see such an project, providing it was done right.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You quote me but you leave out an important part. The problem with making a list is that ROMs change. What might have been an issue in one build might be working just fine in the next. Keeping up with these changes and trying to keep on top of a list would be a nightmare. Also this mystical list you are looking for is usually on one of the first few post of every ROM thread. Most good cooks will list all these things that you are looking for. Only way to tell if a ROM will fit your needs is to try it. Every bodies idea of a good ROM is different. What one person might see as a con another sees as a pro. Personal opinion is a ***** and unfortunately everybody has a different one.

Good luck but I don't see a list being started or maintained for very long. Nor do I see this thread going anywhere productive.
[HD2 General] Mega Maniac:
Will Badger -

I don't think anyone is dis-agreeing that each ROM is suited individually to different people. Each cook makes his ROM how he wants it and if you share those wants with that cook you a likly to enjoy his ROM. That doesn't make it any easier to find what ROM is indeed suited to you, and as a newbe it can be extremely daunting, there are 30 odd cooks for the HD2, thats ALOT of time spent flashing and tring out ROM's.

Having said that I have been pointed towards

http://www.xdaroms.com/Default.aspx

Which is more or less everything I had in mind for a ROM information site, so its safe to say I wont be needing to build another. Iv'e been on this forum for a few months now and have not seen this site, somthing like this would need the direct support of Cooks asking people to visit in their ROM threads to submit reviews of their ROM.

Personally if that could happen I think it would be great and a fantastic resourse for newbes but I know there are alot of differing opinions on here, and perhaps its somthing the chefs would have second thoughts about.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Cool nice to know you found what you were looking for. I still find it easier to just read the actual thread for the info I'm looking for. Going over that page quickly I see no information stating whether the any of the HD2 ROMs are T-mobile compatible. You can flash a standard HD2 ROM onto the newer T-Mo HD2 since they use different processor.
