Hey dubie,

As a lot of other people have put it, cooked roms are generally of a better quality than the stock roms. However they are still winmo roms so dont expect them to be as stable as their less customisable rivals. But thats just the small price you pay for a far better overall operating system.

Going back to your some of your other questions.

Currently it is not possible to run Android on the HD2, however there is a group of people feverishly working to try and fix this situation, I would like to see this done, but I am quite sure I would stick with winmo as my main os.

Unfortunately due to the varied nature of the hardware within winmo phones there is no current android rom that just works on all winmo phones. Some phones have android ports but many others do.

You mentioned about "Droid ROMs can be fully loaded to a winmo device correct? Why not if you wipe the device and reload it?"

I think you are talking about the use of Haret to run android roms from windows?

Haret is generally used in the developing stages of a linux rom to avoid having to flash a possibly buggy os. I beleive it is possible to flash a working linux rom to a winmo phone but it is usually not done, it is far more accepted to use haret to boot linux roms.
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Thanks for all the replies. As a blackberry hybrid builder I made many builds that were way better than stock and more advanced so I can understand what you all are saying. I just am not seeing it yet in the posts. The ROMs I see made by people all have the registry tweaks I have already done and visual changed from the stock look. That's it. Am I not seeing something?
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Yes your not seeing the full picture. Most cooks will use newer build components then what you will find in a stock ROM. Yes some of these components can be loaded through cabs but some can not. It is usually better to cook main OS apps and app components into a rom then loading them later. This tends to make things unstable and buggy. Yes a lot of cooks make theirs ROMs full of eye candy but that is only the icing on the cake so to say. You are coming from a phone that had nothing in terms of eye candy and was solely built for for function/productivity a newer WinMo phone is built to have both productivity and a pretty wrapper to go with it.

Don't worry the more you dig into the more you will understand and the more the urge will hit you to try a custom ROM.
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Ok, so what ROM do you all recommend and why? I would like to test one out. I'm not interested in eye candy, just performance. I do not care about many apps either. Only twitter and Opera basically. I don't face book or use gmail.

Let me know what you all think or suggest.

I do have another question. Why do I keep getting this email user name and password popup? I keep entering it and checking the save password box but it still randomly pops up frequently. I have already tried deleting the yahoo email and resetting it back up.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
You can start looking through them. There are some stripped down versions here and there but most will have other apps on it simple because thats what the cook uses.
[HD2 General] Xp3RiM3nT:
The best idea for finding a rom that is right for you is just to browse the roms forum, look at what is included/removed from each rom and find one that matches the applications/functions you need.

make sure you follow this guide(or the one this links too if you have the american 1024 hd2) for updating your rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477
[HD2 General] jornbjorn:
most of the time the cooked rom is not faster than stock, but it got the latest updates on all applications, and thats nice =) bugs are fixed. Some cooked roms have a lot of bugs, so try a couple and find one you like
[HD2 General] dubie76:
Ok, WTF now. I have read so many posts and searched my butt off here and all for nothing? Seems I have this SPL 2.10 whatever that is and cant load that HSPL program so I can flash a custom rom. WTF? how many darn steps do I have to go through to load a ROM on this phone? Why is this so complicated? If the phone is wiped, why can't whatever I want be loaded on it?

So what do I do now?

What is a hard and soft spl?

Why would I want to downgrade just to load this hspl?

Here the rooted standard rom for HTC Desire:

Desire_HTC_WWE_1.21.40_NoRadio_NoHBoot_Rooted_Signed.zip

Facts:

Version: HTC_WWE_1.21.40

No radioupdate

No hbootupdate

rooted (Superuser 2.1 included)

busybox integrated (some rootapps need those tools)

already signed

zipaligned .apks ("less ram consumption"...)

Download: http://rapidshare.com/files/394960117/Desire_HTC_WWE_1.21.40_NoRadio_NoHBoot_Rooted_Signed.zip

@MadMic So this rom is very near at the stock htc rom and so of course it contains sense.

No Mirrors pls.

Install with recovery mode, as usual.

Flash on your own risk.

Don't need to do a wipe if you come from a stock rom.

if you get any problems, then perform a wipe.

Edit2: Some user reported problems with Root/SuperUser.apk, they had to reinstall http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828.

So if your SuperUser.apk doesn't have root after installing the firmware, pls install it from the link above. (Just flash it via recovery mode!)

(This one is the right version of SuperUser.apk: http://bit.ly/brI0EV)

Edit3: I think the root/SUperuser.apk problem is happening when you wipe before/after the flash. However, if you get have any problems, just flash http://bit.ly/brI0EV and you will be fine.
[Desire Android Development] MadMic:
Nice work matey - quick confirmation, this doesn't contain Sence????

[Desire Android Development] EddyOS:

[Desire Android Development] razielarcanum:
Evilandi666 -- Thanks very much for this! I hadn't quite got my head around post-root upgrades and have been trying the 1.21 OTA update since 5pm both through the phone OTA interface and the Desire recovery mode. This brings the firmware back up to the O2 number (or possibly above)! I couldn't see that anyone had got back to you on the integrated apps2sd, so even though I might not use apps2sd I gave it a whirl -- just finished installing and looks good. I'll update after a play around.
[Desire Android Development] AaronJoYee:
Must I root again? I installed at 1.21 stock ROM before this then I found out that i lost my Super User Access.
[Desire Android Development] imminentwill:
Tested the A2SD version and got a boot loop with wiped ext4 partition. Wiped partition again in Recovery, got a boot loop. Reformatted partition to ext3 using gparted, got a boot loop. Currently downloading non-A2SD version.

Been running the version without APP2SD for a bit over a day now and it hasn't given me any problems yet :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] SpartanTom:
Hello folks,

First time poster here, first time I haven't been able to find a fix already posted...

Anyway, I wanted to try out the new Cyanogen mod after not having tried any new ROMs in a long time. Got 5.0.7 installed and running no problem. Then I noticed on the Cyanogen Mod site that there was also a Cyanogen recovery image. "Might as well have everything from the same source," I thought. I got the file, put it on the SD card, and used the terminal on the phone to execute "flash_image recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img," then tried rebooting into recovery mode. No good. Just get hung up at the "myTouch 3g" screen. At this point, I thought I was well and screwed, but fortunately I'm still able to boot normally.

Tried reflashing the same image, then other recovery partition images. No dice. Where do I go from here? I'm used to fixing stuff I've screwed up through the recovery partition, not the other way around!

I appreciate any help or advice!

Sincerely,

Tom
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] breezy169:
hey tom,

this will fix you up:

install "rom manager" from the market

flash his recovery image (theres in option for that)

then look for the option that lets you flash Amon Ra 1.7.0

let it load, power off & then check.

trust me this is bound to fix your problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
Review: HTC EVO 4G Seidio Spring-Clip Holster (non-cased phone) (MSRP: US$29.95)

Photo Gallery:

Easy to remove!

Tight, close fit to show off your shiny, new EVO!

High-quality plastic makes this one tough case and holds the EVO nicely!

Felt backing unlike anything that I have seen in a holster to protect the screen!

Introduction:

I would just like to start off by saying that, like many of you, I absolutely could not wait to get my hands on the brand new Sprint HTC EVO 4G. Also like many of you, the thought of scratching, dinging, or cracking my brand new EVO just makes me cringe. Also, the dust issues that the HTC Hero had drove me crazy, and I couldn’t stand having any dust in or on my EVO. This is precisely why I’ve chosen not to carry my EVO in my pocket (as I have done with every phone I’ve owned before) in favor of carrying it on my belt. The Seidio Spring-Clip Holster provides the exact remedy to my situation, and it does its job wonderfully.

Initial Impressions:

The first thing that I noticed when I opened my holster was the fact that, unlike any that I had used or seen before, it had a felt interior to protect the EVO’s large glass screen from any sort of scratches or potential dust build-up that tends to find its way into plastic cases. The plastic is very solid, and it is fairly hard to flex. Both the belt clip and the spring-clip used to hold the EVO in place are very sturdy and snappy.

Daily Use:

The slanted ridge on the spring-clip makes sliding the EVO into place a breeze. It felt very natural to just slide my EVO into place after just a couple minutes of use. The clip locks it firmly into place, and it even features a tiny groove in the plastic to ensure that it does no come into contact with the EVO’s power button (I didn’t even notice this until I became curious as to why it never triggered standby mode off). In order to make sure that nothing would become of my EVO in some high-speed conditions, I even tested some rapid, short movements to make sure there was no chance of the phone slipping out. The belt clip itself is able to be positioned in seven different positions for whatever you prefer. Personally (as a fairly thin person), I prefer to keep the holster in the upright position for the most comfortable feel. The EVO, being the heavy-weight it is, adds a fair amount of weight to your belt, but everything just feels natural. I actually prefer the weight because it lets me know everything is still there.

Conclusion:

I’d definitely recommend this to anyone getting an EVO who is either concerned about damaging their device or just wants a nice, professional way to carry (and show off!) their EVO. I find that it is worth every cent because the craftsmanship and quality of materials of Seidio products is second to none! I’ve never had any issues with one of their cases, and I don’t expect to have any with my belt clip. I would also like to remind everyone that there is also a holster available that is compatible with Seidio’s Innocase so you can protect your phone with a solid case and carry it on your hip to protect it from dust, dirt, and lint in your pocket.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
I'm impressed!
[EVO 4G Accessories] bluehaze:
I have the holster/case combo for my Nexus and it is awesome. Best holster i've ever owned for a phone the springloaded top clip is the bees knees LOL Plan to get this same one you have for my EVO.
[EVO 4G Accessories] hchavarria:
I just ordered my case and holster combo from Amazon (half the price than the Seido site)
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkonJohn:
I had a holster like this for my Treo and really liked it, especially how it tightly hugged my side rather than sticking out like many other clip/holster cases.

The one question I have is how well it will work if you have one of those full-body super-thin skins (like Inivisible Shield or the cheaper versions from BestSkinsEver).

From past experience I found that the corners of the skins sometimes tend to peel away from the repeated sliding in/out of the holster. But I love those skins because they completely prevent scratches and add almost no bulk (but no drop-protection).

Hoping they get the caseless model of the Seidio holster on Amazon (less expensive and free shipping with Prime).
[EVO 4G Accessories] MrDSL:
I can't take the cover off for the life of me lol

Any tips?

[EVO 4G Accessories] GumboChief:
I just got this earlier today. Took pics, and was going to write a review, but I see a great one is already up. I really like this.

I wanted a Krusell case, but they don't make the style I want, big enough for the evo. http://krusell.se/products/1/?catid=50&productid=2854

I found this on Amazon, and it comes in a close second, for me. Wanted a way to carry the phone, but did not want a snap on case adding to the considerable size of the evo. Frankly, drop a phone with the Seidio snap on case, and your Evo will be just as well off, without the case.

Anyway, really just a bump to the review. I jumped all around, and could not get the phone to fall off :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
Great review. I had just ordered my Spring Clip and Phantom Skinz Carbon Fiber skin yesterday and can't wait to get them. Thanks for the great review as it seems I made the right choice. :D

Does anyone know if full body zagg or the like can be used with these holsters?
[EVO 4G Accessories] AcIdC0R3:
Yes. I have the Chromatic Carbon Fiber skin and clear screen guard from Phantom Skinz and it fits perfect.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jd9900:
Excellent write up, thank you. Based in large part on this thread I just got the combo set from amazon. I hope I didn't just get evo_rick_rolled. :)
[EVO 4G Accessories] Mayonesa:
you should be ok, might be a little tight tho

also, the holster will leave some marks on the screen protector... where the screen touches the holster on the inside. this is the reason i went with a hard plastic screen protector like http://www.clarivue.com/htc-evo-4g-screen-protector.html

over all i love these holsters, i have used them on 3 diff phones so far... i do have one of these for the naked Evo im not using that im willing to sell... im using the active case and holster now and i have the rugged on its way.
[EVO 4G Accessories] TheBiles:
I haven't had mine make any marks on my naked screen. Given, that may be because there is no extra thickness from the screen protector and the case it just designed that well.

Hi all,

I want to share with you this simple method to import your contacts and other stuff from your WinMo OS to XDAndroid.

Follow these few steps:

1/ Boot your Raphael on Windows Mobile and sync with PC (with ActiveSync of course)

2/ On your PC, go to: http://my.funambol.com and create a free account.

3/ Download "funambol-outlook-sync-client.exe" to your PC and launch it.

4/ Enter your Login & Password just created and click on what you want to sync with MyFunambol.

5/ Boot your XDAndroid and go to the Market. Make a search for Funambol Sync.

6/ Download and install the app, then launch it.

7/ Enter again your Login & Password, then sync your Raphael with the server.

That's all.

(Another version of Funambol Sync is available for Windows Mobile too).

Enjoy.

Or,

1. Use Google Sync. Done.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Xue v.2:
if you don't have any contacts yet on ur googlemail account, you can use this method:

1. Use PPC PIM Backup and backup only contacts in *.csv format

2. Copy that *.csv file to ur computer

3. Import that *.csv contact to your google mail account.

4. Sync your android device to your google mail account.

5. Done

2.Just set under WinMo (Active Sync on Phone) google as Exchange Server log in with your google id and

sync contacts and what ever you want exept sms (will not work)

3. Just start Android and sync with your google account :D

once setup under winmo you never have to do it again becaus it's syncing under android and WinMo so this is perfect solution. :cool:
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Insaneboy:
Or...

1.Copy contacts to SIM card.

2.Start Android.

3.Copy contacts from SIM.

They get synced to the Google account - done.

No programs needed.

Best thing about all these?

You only have to sync it once. :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] arrrghhh:
Not everyone has a SIM card my friend... This method would NOT work for me ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Preggy:
Outlook

Since this method hasn't been posted yet I'll throw it in here :)

1. Export all contacts from Outlook as .csv (where you probably have them after sync with WinMo...) (select all contacts and choose send contact as vCard from context menu. Then a message is created with the .csv files attached to it. Now just select them all and drag&drop them to any folder)

2. Place the .csv files on mSD and import them from the XDAndroid contact-app...

P.S.: If you copy contacts to the SIM-card that contain more info than just a name and a phone-number, this data is either lost or written into another contact file (so you have multiple contacts of the same name each containing another piece of information...).

Not to speak of the fact that the memory on the SIM-card is pretty limited...

[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] IceWee:
:p Perfect!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] lepermessiah:
..I'm using Windows Live to store my contacts, so here is another tip:

go to people.live.com there you can export to *.csv from Manage>Export and then, you can import it to google account as described before..it's compatible
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] averyk:
THANKS! this is the only wat that worked for me.... google sync asks for administrator domain to enable sync and i dont know what is that becaouse i use a gmail account.... lol ... thanks again now i have my contacts, appointments, tasks, notes, EVERYTHING synced.....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] ZiNoM:
HI!

After much time spent in testing Sync apps that can syncronize my Gmail account with my Microsoft Office Outlook 2010, i've discovered the best way of doing it.

I used "gSyncIt", that i can sync contacts and calendar from Outlook<->Gmail. Then when i connect my Raphael with Android and turn Wi-Fi on, it sync with Gmail account :D

Unfortunately gSyncit is not freeware but i think is the best way to do the things the way i wanted.

Other but only for calendar is the "Google Calendar Sync", for those who doesn't know.

And another, and direct way to Sync the phone directly with Outlook by USB is Android Sync, but you need to install android-sdk-windows in your computer, boot with Haret but first make an ActiveSync connection in WinMo, so the PDA in Android can be recognized by the PC.

Hope i've helped many of you and make you happy as i am :p
