Honest But Simple Opinion on ROM

Having read through quite a lot of the posts over the months in the HTC HD2 section of the xdadevelopers regarding the phone itself, the ROMs and other stuff I wouldn't say I'm an afficianado when it comes to this stuff.

However, I would say I'm stupidly adventurous and have changed from my original o2 stock rom to several other cooked roms in succession just to see how they fare up.

I must admit that I've not seen much in the way of performance gain from one rom to the next or at least nothing that's perciptible to my senses and that's even when invoking the registry tweaks which are supposed to enhance certain elements of performance.

Nonetheless, after updating the radio to take advantage of the full 576 Ram I've tried several roms but really like the xannytech rom which I'm using now. This particular rom has loads of enhancements via software applets etc which make the phone generally a joy to use.

Obviously a lot of credit should be given to the phone itself and the manufacturers which allow customisations to be made according to the users preference.

Like I said initially, I've not seen any perciptle differences in performance compared to the original and other roms but tweaks within the rom and customisable tweaks from the roms interface and applets does give the phone much more accessibility and a better aesthetic appeal.

Then again, I suppose that does in some ways answer your questions as to the validity of cooked roms.

Obviously I'm still waiting for the ultimate rom to come along but until then I'll stick with my latest cooked rom as it's not bad.

Hope that give some idea !

[HD2 General] este548:
some notes

I went through many threads and boards on whether to use cooked or stay with stock rom and decided to stay with the stock for the pure reason - time. And still, it took around 2 - 3 weeks to finally tuned up my TP2 to my taste (testing various apps, tweaks ...). The first time I had WinMo device was 4 years back with hp6945 and now, with TP2, the jump in effectiveness, response and UI of Sense in TP2 is enormous. I would anyway summarize some of my views on why to use cooked rom as follows:

0. by having plenty of time for experiments

1. to give even more personality and uniqueness to own device

2. to experience some adventure by crossing official boundaries

3. to get more for the money and have device tuned up to maximum

4. to prove own skills (in case of chefs) and share with his/her community.

My few cents.
[HD2 General] nsx_23:
So how's everything working out so far?
[HD2 General] Sentinel196:
Just about to flash the latest OzROM. All is well. Improvement over the stock rom is great :)
[HD2 General] fracmo2000:
My first WM phone was the Sony X1...great phone...crap software. BUT xda saved the day...we (x1 users) ended up with HD sense running on it...and it was pretty damn good! The X1 was a little under powered when running sense...but it was so much better than what sony put on it!

Now I have an HD2, tried lots of roms and always go back to HDOwners...I highly recommend them. Im like you (OP) have my phone setup the way I want, so now only flash roms when reaaaally needed (like big upgrades etc on the cooked rom). Otherwise, I just stick with what HDOwner has uploaded!

[HD Mini General] kingofkings2603:
so i got the mini a couple of days ago,amazing device,but im experiencing a problem.

when i get a call with the ringer set to 100%,the ringtone plays loud and fine for a bit then becomes muffled.reducing to 80% makes it play fine mostly time but still it DID muffle once or twice in ten times.

sometimes even at 100% the ringtone played fine.

other audio from the speaker(from music and video) played fine with no problems at the loudest volume.

this is really bugging me,as im really loving the phone,and dont want to give it away for repairs for weeks.is this a software(seems like it) or a hardware problem?or is it even a problem at all?what should i do?
[HD Mini General] papaatje1966:
Hi,

I have the same problem also.

My ringtone is "ring old thelephone" and when someone calls me afther the second ring it sounds like my phone is underwater.

Tried some diffrent settings, but nothing seems to work.

Its also on 100% becauwe i need to hear my phone as truckdriver.

Anyone who knows the solution to this problem please?

With kind regards,

Pascal,
[HD Mini General] abunea:
Go to Settings-> Sound & Display and check if you have Quiet Ring on Pickup enabled. This automatically lowers the ring volume when the phone is picked up/moved. Try disabling it and see if it still does that.
[HD Mini General] Peter Lukac:
HTC HD MINI Ringer problem

Hello everybody!

As first, I apologise for my english :)

I´m happy, that I found someone who has the same problem like me. I thought that I am just one :)

I have this problem with my phone HTC HD Mini, too. When somebody is calling me, the ringtone is turning down the volume after few seconds (like underwater, muffled). I switched off a function "Quiet ring on pickup" but it doesn´t help. What is interesting, this problem is not doing every time. Sometimes not. But usually yes. I did a Hard reset, too, but it persists.

So... two weeks ago, I sent my device to servis and they accepted my complaint. They changed this device for new one, but I found this same problem with a new device, again! I´m very sad because I think that all these devices HTC HD MINI are wrong.

What are we gonna do? I´m afraid, that if I send this new device to servis again, they will send me a new wrong one back, again.

Sincerely,

Peter :)
[HD Mini General] kingofkings2603:
wow,even i exchanged my device for a new one,and the problem is there in the new one too!!

i think its a problem with all devices and we have to live with it.
[HD Mini General] Peter Lukac:
Ringer problem

Really? Have you exchanged your device, too? I like this device, but I don´t wanna be satisfied with this problem... Are you satisfied? Doesn´t mean it any problem for you? :)
[HD Mini General] Stanley-:
Hi, Go to settings -> Sound and display -> Quiet ring on pickup (turn off) It helped for me :)
[HD Mini General] Peter Lukac:
:)

Ahoj Stanley,

vdaka, ale mam tuto funkciu vypnutu a aj napriek tomu to robi. Dal som ten telefon druhy krat reklamovat, tak som zvedavy, co z toho bude... Len dufam, ze mi uz treti krat neposlu taky isty chybny telefon :)
[HD Mini General] papaatje1966:
Htc-service???

Like i wrote before, also I had that ringer-problem.

So about 14 days ago i returned my device to the store and the sended it to the repairstore "eurotwice.nl" for repair.

When i check my status its still under "repair/swap".

For a device that isn't older then 1 month i rlly tought they would said i could change for a new one, or similar device....but NO, it's a repair :(

My wife wants a iphone 3Gs for her birthday(for later update to the new OS 4.0) and i gonna follow up her iphone closely.

When it works like my previous HTC's (or even better) i only can say...BYE BYE HTC, it was the last one i bought.
[HD Mini General] Peter Lukac:
HTC HD Mini :(

Hi,

My new second device HTC HD Mini is now in service, too - again! As I said the same problem with ringer volume is on this second device, too. So I sent this device to service one more time. But the service says that they didn´t find out this problem on this second device! So I don´t know what´s gonna be with this... I´m still waiting on this device from service...
[HD Mini General] kingofkings2603:
theres an UPDATE on the htc website that fixes this problem.go to htc support to get it now!

now my phone is perfect :D

Does anyone know if its possible to flash Windows Moile O/S onto a HTC Desire which is currently running Android 2.1?
[Desire General] BarLyn:
I think the answer to this is no, as it would be unlicensed from a WinMo perspective, and therefore count as warez if distributed. Sorry.
[Desire General] mantianxinni:
I think the answer is no！

I think the answer is no！

HTC said that they would do better on their each own system before.

So...
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
No, because Windows Mobile is closed source. Android can be ported to many devices, cause it is (mostly) open source, but that's not the case with Windows Mobile.

And why would you want it anyway? Android is much better.
[Desire General] TFGBD:
Meh, I'm tired of these claims. This is not the case at all and having source to Windows Mobile itself is mostly irrelevant. Think about it. Was source ever needed to port WM 6.5 to devices that shipped with WM5? Would it really matter that most of Windows Mobile/Pocket PC shell and OS components are closed source once you've ported a compatible Windows CE kernel to your new hardware? Of course not!

In theory, all you ever really needed to run a full WM/CE on new hardware was the Windows CE kernel (OAL portion) ported to your specific hardware and drivers to make things like the screen work. Once that is done, porting WM wouldn't be any different than upgrading it on a device it shipped with. Of course, you wouldn't have the same flexibility of fixing OS bugs as with linux, but it should still be doable. Outside the embedded HW experience needed to port a kernel, the biggest issue to overcome I see is driver support. Sadly, way too many OEMs and chipset vendors (Qualcomm, Nvidia) distribute binary only drivers for their proprietary hardware. Outside of a few community efforts, this driver situation only seems marginally better on commercial Linux devices but better it is. Linux probably has more community developed drivers with source but nothing is stopping people from porting these to CE. I suppose it all comes down to developer interest (or lack thereof). Open source enthusiasts who have positive things to say about the Windows CE OS seem few and far between and most of the capable people here seem focused on just enhancing existing hardware with the OS or GUI skinning rather than porting the OS itself to newer, interesting hardware. I guess there has always been a real lack of people with the lethal combination of skill and passion in the various Windows CE enthusiast communities.

I still think of Windows CE as Microsoft's little closed source answer to Linux in the embedded space. Yeah, you may not get all the source and things like corelibc may be lacking, but it's still runs on a wider variety of hardware than XP ever will and for a (mostly) closed source, embedded OS, offers more open, familiar development options than most of the competition outside *nix varients. Again, just look at the recent ports of Windows Mobile 6 to the HTC Magician.

The only reason Windows Mobile (or at least CE) hasn't been ported to more aftermarket hardware is lacking developer interest. Windows CE itself has already been ported to the GP32 and original Xbox which died due to poor developer interest.

As for Android... I'm sorry, Android is cute and all but it still lacks the range of development tools and powerful desktop level productivity applications like Softmaker Office that Windows CE based platforms have enjoyed for years. And no, VNCing into a locally running X server on a debian install and using a copy of Abiword doesn't count. It's getting there, though I still prefer CE.
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
TFGBD,

WM5 and WM6 are the same kernel, of course that can be ported. WM on the Desire will not happen.

Simple as that.
[Desire General] TFGBD:
Yeah, it's very, very unlikely anyone will ever port a CE 5.x or any other CE kernel version to the Desire or other hardware but it's not impossible. That was the point. People said the same about the Magician getting a 5.x kernel OS like WM6. True, it's still WinCE, I was simply pointing out that little is impossible when/if the right person becomes interested and puts their mind to it. Who knows? Maybe someone was already discouraged by forceful allegations that porting WinCE to hardware it never shipped with was impossible. I was just offering some words of encouragement.

I'd leave root on it. You open yourself up to a bigger market. For example, if I were looking to buy a Hero, and eBay had one that was rooted and one that wasn't, I'd sure be buying the rooted one.

Hi

I'm about to get a desire but have heard bad things about email support.

I need the ability to access multiple (5+) email accounts to send and receive email. This is a mixture of IMAP, POP3 + Gmail.

Is the default app capable of this or is another app available ?

Thanks :)
[Desire General] barnybug:
K9 does multiple accounts very well and is free. Supports IMAP (inc. push) and POP3. For Gmail you could use either protocol I think or even the built-in Gmail account (not used myself).

Sorry for being dump? can anyone tell me how do your partition your SD in Desire?? Thanks.
[Desire General] kewell79:
While in Recovery, using the optical trackpad, now select "Partition sdcard" -> "Partition SD" and issue a SWAP=0, EXT2=512, FAT32=<remaining> partition command (read carefully the instructions provided on-screen by the procedure, you'll have to use the volume keys too, here).

Find and issue the "SD:ext2 to ext3" command.

Go back to the Recovery Console main menu and select "Reboot system now". While rebooting, unplug the Desire from the USB port.

*Note that this will format your whole SD card. Make a backup before doing this if you need.
[Desire General] kuailan:
Problem is how do I get to the recovery console?. Everytime I have pressed the hold back and power button --and then recovery --when it boots it just stop at the exclaimation mark device thing and do nothing?? I knew I have seen that option while doing the rooting procedure. But I was afraid of doing then, because I do not want to screw up the rooting process.
[Desire General] MasDroid:
Are you running a Windows, Linux, or Mac OS?

Read the following guide for the step-by-step approach:

Before you attempt this, Backup your data. Attempt what is suggested in section 6 (titled Install Apps2SD), and make sure you have the necessary file downloaded and installed via Recovery Console (r1-a2sd-desire-dalvik-fresh-signed.zip) before you partition your SD Card:

Does this has to do any thing with Goldcard?

[Desire General] shawe_ewahs:
When you can see the exclaimation mark on device, you must run recovery-windows.bat or recovery-linux.sh or recovery-mac.sh for start the alternate recovery.

I assume u already rooted your desire? Else its kind pointless to reformat your SD.

Witch guide die u follow? Check the .rar .zip file u downloaden for it.. and find recovery-win.... Linux....

Run that once u selected recovery from the menu..

the other day I wiped out my contacts (while i was experimenting with syncing between phone and gmail account; unlike Xmarks, for example, there's no option for `maintain data on server; maintain data on phone; merge`). I remembered that my phone was set to back up stuff to the sd card, but I couldn't find any info in the manual or online about restoring it. Is this something I need activesync for? I use Linux which I'm not sure is supported. If I can't restore stuff then there's no point in backing stuff up. I'm not actually sure what is being backed up other than contacts; there's no provision for backing up apps; perhaps data (photos etc) but surely that should be being stored on sd card in the first place to conserve the tiny amount of storage out of your total of 576megs which is technically available in the first place.

As soon as I connect the PDA, I get the "USB device not recognized" error and Device Manager shows it as a USB "Unknown device". I've tried soft reset, hard reset, two different cables, updating drivers on the PCs, reinstalling WMDC on the W7 machine, all to no avail.
