Dude I've been wating for this for a long time. I've tested so many roms without the crapware but none close to stock. I know this is your rom and you are doing the actual work. But I do have some suggestions. This would be my dream rom :). Here goes.

Remove These Apps:-

Blockbuster (cab is available)

Transformer (cab is available)

Barnes and Nobles (cab is available)

MobiTv (cab is available)

Ferrari GT (Demo)

Millionaire 2010 (Demo)

MobiTV (Demo)

Prince of Persia (Demo)

Slacker Radio (cab is available)

Telenav (Subscription Based)

Tetris (Demo)

Transformers (cab is available)

Thats just my wish but cant wait to see what you do. Im sure its going to be nice.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Rick Chase:
if this is bug free i will definitly switch to this.

1: if you make a stripped version, are you going to get rid of vvm and gmaps, those i find very useful. also mobitv since i would like the option to use it if i need to.

2: are the touch drivers the only thing you change so far? everything else is the stock?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] prosumerhacks:
Can u pls share the ext package list with versions?

Pls do write abt the software that u've removed n icluded... n waht ur future plans for upgrade are....
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Nice one, thank you!! I will be giving this a run in the next couple days hopefully, cheers!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
SSorry for the late response guys...been kinda busy...anyway I am probably going to remove all of the apps that have cabs to reinstall them. If it doesn't have a cab, then it will stay. I'm gonna put all the cabs for the stuff I remove in a zip file and make it part of the download for those who wish to keep some of the software...that way everyone will be happy :)

1)Google maps I'm not going to get rid as I'm sure many people use it. Whats vvm?

2)Yes, so far I only changed the touch drivers.

I'll make a list sometime today and post. I just need to find out which apps have cabs in case someone wants to reinstall them. Future upgrade will depend on what the community wants...but I do plan on making future roms that are more stable and have some registry tweaks to boost performance :)

I can probably get this rom out some time in the next couple of days if I find a good backup software for all my sms's so I can test the rom...any ideas ppl?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Nibbley15:
VVM=Visual Voice Mail (You will find it in your kitchen listed as: VVM_1_1_1_0_15_01)

SMS Backup= Use PIM Backup
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I've had this ROM installed for about a day now. This morning I also upgraded to CHT1.8.5. I have yet to experience a single hiccup. Everything is extremely smooth as far as touch and scrolling is concerned. I just installed it on my wifes phone and will continue to report back with issues if I can find any.

Well done, and thank you very much for creating this rom!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback, keep it coming!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
Thanks...as for visual voicemail...probably will stay as its an app that is specific by tmobile to help with managing voicemail. same thing with the my account app.

I'll try to get the rom up before the end of tomorrow. If not, then by tuesday for sure.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
So far, here is what I thought about changing in the new rom:

remove blockbuster, bnereader, mobitv, slacker radio, telenav, stock games (demos)

replace htc messaging 2012 with 2015 messaging. (newer version with more features)

replace stock compass with dutty's compass

I will give a link to download all the cabs for most of the stuff I remove in case someone wants some of the software.

lol...i just used everyones ideas here on this thread...I already have the rom I want and am only creating this one for the community so its going to be built according to what everyone wants :) ..anything else you might want to change?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Rick Chase:
i agree. in general i thought the stock roms were pretty clean besides unneeded programs and touch seneitivty, but this rom with cht 1.8.5 is very solid. bug free for me so far.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] nattyd:
Links to needed cabs

I agree with everything you said above and just thought I would puts links to all the cabs i have found so anyone that need them can have them. The least I can do. After all you are doing all the hard work. Thanks dude.

You can always use a simple kitchen to make small edits to a rom. (Remove/Replace Programs)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
thanks...ill be sure to zip these up.

lol...I agree but what im doing here is alot more than removing and replacing programs(editing registry tweaks, editing windows files, etc.) :)

do you guys think that adding cht 1.8 is a good idea? or is it movimg too far away from stock?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
almost there ppl....trying to fix a bug with the new messaging client not working correctly
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] nattyd:
I think its moving away from the original idea. All these things can be installed after. I think the original idea is the best.

CHT is best left of of ROMs as it is a work is progress.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
Finishing up a second full day with this ROM. Still no problems whatsoever on either phone. The occasional freezes going from slide to unlock are gone, as are any messaging problems. It's completely solid IMO. I look forward to the lite version.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] richardmkovach:
Should I wait

I was like 30 sec from flashing a rom to fix a freezing problem and this rom sound like the perfect thing for me, , could we expect the newest version today?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:

Can you please add details about the lite version to the first post?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
done

please let me know what you think of the rom
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I installed the Lite version this morning and I am now having some signifigant issues compared to the regular version. Over 50% of the time, the new messaging program 2016 hangs on exit, or crashes while I'm typing (stock keyboard). Also after making a phone call, the screen remains black and I am unable to end the call. The screen black issue only happens AFTER I use the messaging program. If I soft reset, I can make several calls without issue. But if I then send a text then make a call, the screen remains black.

The secure message box is nice, but not worth the bugs right now. Can you please make one with the original messaging program?

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
Also, there is a 3-4 second lag to use the home screen after pushing the home button when in the messaging program. I can swipe or push on the screen and it us unresponsive for seconds. I have zero text messages stored and the deleted box is empty.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
hmmm...this didnt happen to me when I tested it...but a search on xda reveals that this new messaging client is not fully bug free...I'll se what I can do..
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
ok...for now I'm gonna make a lite version with the original messaging client. I'll do it once I get home and it should be up by the evening...
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
I'll try the 2015 messaging client also to see if that helps...
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I really appreciate the quick reply. I look forward to trying the updated version tonight. I'll keep you posted if I come across anything else today since I can't reflash until I get home.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Yes please try the 2015 version instead of the stock 2014, I think you'll find that 2015 is pretty stable and bug-free.

Thanks very much!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I experienced similar problems with T-GRAF's 2015 on my old stock rom. So I'm not so sure that one is bug free either.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
2015 seems to work flawlessly on my stock T-Mo US 2.13 ROM when installed as a cab in my experience, maybe it's worth trying to cook 2 ROMs - 1 with stock 2014 and 1 with 2015? I think people have had all sorts of different experiences with these new versions.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I was using it on a 2.10.1 in .cab form. I had the same issues on my phone and my wifes phone. I've never had a single issue with 2012 actually. But I don't get to it from the home screen tab. I use have a quicklink setup for messages.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
lite with 2015 messaging is up...lite with regular messaging uploading
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
both are up now
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
Downloading and installing. Will report back when any concerns. Thanks!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
The lite version with stock messaging loaded fine, but I can't send any text messages. As soon as I hit send I get a popup that says "Network Selection" and has 3 options. C: No operator D: No operator and cancel. I can choose any of the 3 and it just goes back to an empty messaging screen.

I'm reinstalling the version you started with now.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
ok...now this is really weird now....im going to completely rebuild the rom from scratch this weekend....sorry about that....:o
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
There is no need to apologize. You're doing all of us a favor by creating these ROMs. I'll check back later.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] the7thson:
Xander - did you happen to try lite with 2015 at all by any chance?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xanderdad:
I did not actually. I got knid of burned out on ROM flashing. I just wanted something that I knew worked for a few weeks.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] rmeneses86:
great rom. just what i was looking for. only problem is the lock feature. gets stuck in the lock screen and wont unlock is my only complaint! other than that, its perfect
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:

which rom?

Fair enough, that's why I've been holding out too :)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] xREVOx:

is MMS working in the lite version with standard MMS? if not, is there a cab for it?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] elracing21:
Oh also I'm wondering what radio are you using with this rom? and which have you tested with it. I'm currently looking for one that gives me better battery life then stock radio and same if not better reception in the new york tri-state area.

Thanks in advanced.

Everyone that has/is using this rom can reply to this with their experience.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
glad to hear it :)

The lite version I am still testing. When I tried it, it was working perfectly.

I am use the regular rom most often. So far I have tried the 2.07.50.27, 2.10.50.28, and the 2.12.50.02 radio...I live in houston and I noticed a big difference between the rest of the radios and the 2.12.50.02 radio. Pages load faster, I have better reception, and battery life is great :) I get about 1 full workday (6am to 12am-lol i know thats a pretty long day) with intense use. Everything updates every hour and I have about an hour of calls, about 40 texts, about 30 minutes of video, and about 40 minutes of web browsing :D.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] elracing21:
Hmm so your using the 2.12.50.02 radio correct? This is whats giving you that really beast battery life? Thanks!!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Blairware:
This is not what I want. It's what I NEED. THANK YOU!

It's time. Too many sleepless nights patching, fixing, reading threads with one eye closed, trying to get a custom ROM to work, if not perfectly, then at least "as designed"

I don't hop around from one chef to another, I stick it out for the long haul, and I have spent a LOT of time with certain ROM's. All these chefs get props, and they work hard at delivering what they would want for themselves, so of course no ROM is ever a

perfect fit.

Certain styles, and technical strengths appeal to different users.

I just finished switching to a new ROM,

all the bells and whistles

(in fact, a bit over the top.) But I really loved it. And everything worked. First thing I did was check all the things that previous chef never addressed, and they ALL worked. I was a happy man, oh yeah... For a few hours...

The first night with my new, exciting ROM, I had 4, count 'em: FOUR lock ups. Pulling the back cover off the HD2 puts me in a

foul mood

- doing it four times in about 3 hours, and I was livid. Then today, the final straw; I was copying a bunch of wallpapers to a folder on the phone and... it rebooted! I am not kidding. Thats the only time this ever happened on the HD2.

So a ROM can be "Smooth", Sexy, and loaded with eye candy galore, but don't use the word "Stable" when this is how it runs. Someone should put the definition of "stable" up for the chefs to read, LOL!

An yes, I task 29 before every flash. I even occasionally reformat my SD Card and copy everything back for a clean storage environment.

Oh, this ROM is SO for me, but as my subject line states, it is necessity that drives me now. Sure, I will miss the "Kewl Kontent", The Mad Graphics, and all, but what I WON'T miss is the reboots, pulling that back cover off my phone several times a day

Just give me this clean, SMART designed ROM, add CHT 1.8.5 a few fixes like Safe Inbox Extender, Show Owner Settings, and maybe a few pretty Icons, and hey: Isn't THIS what HTC had in mind? I think it is.

Thanks so much for this work, this thread, this "Return to Sanity" - Bout Time!:D
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] rmeneses86:
my fault. i installed cht and wasnt paying attention that it wasnt compatible with the stock lock. i did however run into a major problem today. i flashed it to the regular rom yesterday. the rom worked perfectly but then i added a hefty amount of music to my sd card and now it runs like ****. im going to try the lite version again and see if that works better for me. dont get me wrong though. youve made a very good, better yet, damn good rom. i tried the 2015 lite a couple of days ago and theres something wrong with the messaging. 2016 work fine though.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
yep :)

I'll try my best...might take a while because I still have to work on the lite version this weekend and test them....I'll add the cht and the fixes--changing the icons....dont know about that...takes time to design the icons and with a full time job and college work breathing down my back....might take a loooong time...but I'll certainly keep it in my mind...

You mentioned that you format your sd card from time to time...This is just a suggestion about how to format it, but it worked for me back when I was on the energy rom...My problem was that the music player was reaaaaally slow...I mean I would click a track and wait 10 seconds for it to load and then If I paused, the track would be close to finishing before the phone actually paused the track. This problem combined with occasional lockups I experienced on my phonemade me want to....well looks like you've already been there :). Anyway, I searched and found out that the culprit was the cheap sd card that htc provides. It is a mere class 2-too slow for a phone that keeps a ton of its cache files on external memory. So then I formatted my sd card and picked the highest allocation size on it that windows 7 would allow me. Since then, My phone hasn't freezed up once...and the music player is brilliant now :). That was about a month and a half ago when I still used the energy rom. try it...might work for you :)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
putting a whole bunch of music on the card will cause it to run slow for some time while the phone loads and indexes the files in its library...if that dznt work, look at my post above this one about formatting the sd card...that may be the problem or the music may not have proper tags...
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
testers

testing roms involves alot of time for me and is probably the reason that it takes time for me to release updated roms-such as the lite version- it has 3 versions and each one will require me to test it for a day to make sure it is clear of bugs. I was just looking to see if anyone is interested in testing roms I make so we can make them available to the community in a shorter time span. If you are interested, please pm me. MSN messenger, yahoo messenger, or google talk is not required, but it would be a big help if you had it. Really appreciate it.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
I have posted two versions of the lite rom today. Both of these rom I have tested myself and they are 100% working.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] elracing21:
Any changes between those and the ones that were up before? Or just a fix of some bugs that were being reported?

Oh and did you get the last pm I sent?
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] crisisinthecity:
I installed your OG stock rom with the 2.10 touch drivers... Screen sensitivity is totally perfect. I'm running it with zims cab and have CHT 1.8.5 installed. Solid as 2.13 but not sucky. Exactly what I was looking for.

Now why can't T Mobile make a ROM that works? They should be paying you to do this IMHO. Amiright? :)

Thanks!

Chris
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] onslaught86:
Oh fantastic - I was just getting around to flashing 2.13 today, what with HSPL3's recent release and all, and this goes one better - all the things I like about the stock ROM with the added benefits of a cooked ROM. Nice work!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
Just a fix of the bugs and I just replied to your pm :)

you sure are :D...but I'd rather just share it with our awesome community here on xda :)

thanks :)
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] crisisinthecity:
Still running perfect a few days later... This ROM should be a sticky because I would say most people who have this phone just want it to be the same, but actually work...
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] pixine786:
Excellent cooking ... good speed and with Base touch. Should be sticky and will recommend people.

I was actually looking for something like this. Base ROM without TMOUS proggies...

happy with "lite version with 2016 messaging".... Thanks so much
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] crisisinthecity:
UPDATE:

Been running this for over a week. My phone has never run better. No crashes, lagging, freezing or anything. Thanks again!

Someone sticky this ROM to the top of the ROM forum.

Which one are you running exactly? Can you link it please? Thanks!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Showtime7:
I am using the Lite rom with 2016 messaging... And I think it's great. Messaging has not locked up once, and my only problems have been app related not rom related. I do have some suggestions for improvement though:

- 1% battery icon... Who wouldn't want it?

- Remove all IM apps... I'm sure a lot of us if not most of us use Palringo for all in one instant messaging and I for one hate to waste any space or memory on my device.

- Office Mobile 2010... Just because it couldn't hurt.

- Remove mobile backup from t-mobile... Never works for me and it can always be added back with a cab so no sense in wasting space on the lite version. :)

- wifi internet sharing... not sure why HTC opted not to include this but it should be cooked in

Again these are suggestions for the lite version only. Keep up the nice work!
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] onslaught86:
Actually, I wouldn't want the 1% battery included - I hate percentage battery indicators, they make me want to use my phone less because I'm paranoid it'll die when I actually need it. It hasn't yet, but being reminded of how much juice that huge screen chews isn't something I enjoy. :)

Given it can be added with a cab, all the more reason to keep the lite version lite.

Definitely up for Office 2010 though.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] Showtime7:
Well for those of us who actually count on our phones not dying, we need to know the % and it's nice to see it just by looking at the taskbar.

I still haven't figured out how to add icon modifications to the HD2 stock ROM with a cab... I am coming from using a TouchPro2 where all I had to do was install SDK Certs then install the cab. So if somebody could tell me what is going on with the HD2 not wanting to follow this procedure I'm sure I could live without it being cooked. :D
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] rmeneses86:
im using the lite version with 2016 messaging and its almost perfect. my only complaint is the touch response. even with the touch response fix cab its still not helping. for example: when im in a call and i want to use the speakerphone i have to rub around the whole icon just to get speakerphone to work. on the regular version everything works perfect! thats my only complaint.
[T-Mobile HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Development] shehrammajid:
thanks...will keep in mind for upcoming platinum rom...

find the icons you want and just run the cab :)...or it should tell you the installation instructions wherever you find the compatible icon set of your liking....

hmm...do you have bsb tweaks installed? if so, make sure that tap time is turned off...otherwise I would recommend hard reset because this didnt come up when I was testing it...

___

I am having a problem of my own....I dont know if it is hardware related or software related...Whenever I recieve an sms, my phone doesnt stop vibrating until I push a button on it....Doesn't happen most of the time...but enough to make it really annoying...prob 8 out of 10 times it happens...tried numerous hard resets....did anyone else have this problem? hope its not hardware related, because then ima have to send it in for repair :(
