[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohtse:
Am sure this has been answered but couldn't seem to find an answer So if it has provide the link please...

Anyway Am still using the 2gig sd card that my hero came with but wish to use a bigger card..The only issue is I use App2sd card... On WinMo there was never an issue you simply just copied all the data over to the new card a hey presto it worked. But with android it does seem that simply(nothing ever is) when using Apps2sd because of the dam partitions.. So my question is this how do I move EVERY THING over to a new sd card inc the partitions and the data within them???? I doin't wish to have to reinstall 300+ apps noiw that I have the phone after 2months FINALLY working properly..

regards

Lohtse

In the sms settings you can change the font size. But outgoing SMS writing letters does not change. Is the smallest size. Unresponsive to change. And I also want a larger font in the environment Senec, sms messages on the tab where I can see new incoming messages. I have the phone in the Czech language. Please advice.

I need help to restore my Htc Desire.

Problem is:

Wiped all and made factory Reset. Now i have nothing on my sd card and on my Desire.:eek:

The Desire only boots to the htc logo.

I have my backup of sdcard and i have also a nand backup:).

Recovery Restore nand backup will not work because there is no nand backup(no files) on my sdcard.

How can i restore it with the pc? Will it work with the sdcard of my friend with my files of the Desire and than just restore with recovery mode?

Sorry for bad english. Im german.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globalm:
Use a card reader on a PC to retore the contents of the SD Card (or just the Nandroid backup) and then do Nandroid restore.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalaschni:
Yes right but i didnt have a card reader.

Can i get via adb the nandroid folder to my sdcard of the desire?

To do this [HOW TO] Perform a Nandroid Restore via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) (modaco homepage)

I tried to do this "adb push updates.zip /sdcard/updates.zip" to get a custom rom on the Desire but it wont work ad:not found.

Ok now it works i typed "updates.zip" but with "update.zip" it worked.
[HD2 General] dso371:
Hi chefs and gourmets,

I'd appreciate a totally frank answer to a simple question.

I have the stock WWE 1.66 ROM. I don't have major problems, just occasional hangs/freezes caused by bad apps, and I have to clean the RAM quite a bit when I have several apps running. But generally, the phone is stable and fast enough.

So, if I flashed a cooked ROM - say the Co0kie Energy ROM, which is very popular - would I notice such a difference in speed and stability that it'd be worth the day it would take me (a newbie) to flash and reinstall all my apps?

For a small, not really noticeable difference, I can't see the point. But for a 'new phone' experience, a huge jump in speed and stability, I guess I might give it a go.

I know it's hard to generalize, but if possible I'd like a rough idea of whether it's worth it.

Thanks,

David
[HD2 General] random_username_:
for me (and quite a few others) the speed jump and stability are massively better than the stock roms our phones came with. However if you are happy with the speed and stability of your phone and you arent particularly intrested in experimenting in your phone then i maybe you shouldnt.
[HD2 General] iainbp:
i was thinking what u are thinking a few weeks ago . could not dicide if it would make that bigger differance. but it does.

the 1st rom i tryed was steve's elegancia rom and i found it alot better than stock. more colour , faster, more stable. lots more options.

if i were you, now knowing what i know now i would change the stock rom.

plus its very easy to do .
[HD2 General] sike222:
i was in the same boat, except in the end i had no choice.

My phone was crashing daily and i eventually ran out of phone storage. So i bit the bullet and flashed the energy cht rom. I wont flash again as i now dont need to.

It is quicker, i compared it alongside a friends stock phone who literally has no apps on it at all and mine is faster. It looks waaaaaaaay better, it has much more storage and for me comes with way better options pre-installed such as swype etc.

As JJbdoggg said though if you are happy with what you already got then there probably is no NEED to flash.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
as for installing everything again, lots of cooked roms use the autoinstall feature. put your most commonly used cabs into a folder called autoinstall on the sd card, and the rom installs them when it first runs.
[HD2 General] rexboy:
As others have mentioned, most think as you are when they are contemplating this or anything for the first time, but id challenge you to find someone on XDA who has started flashing and all of a sudden stopped.

It becomes addictive because you are always searching for a better setup, faster etc and as it becomes easier for you to do as you become more accustomed, why wouldnt you.

Most have purchased the HD2 as its a tweakers phone, great in standard form but with so much variety in ROMS these days, your litterally a few clicks away of never looking back.

Once you start you wont be able to stop :-) There are just so many varieties, saves you alot of hassles in terms of installing everything via CAB's as its cooked in and there are always newer updates coming out with so many tweaks for the better.
[HD2 General] O_G:
Hi

I find that if you were to flash a custom rom based around wm 6.5, the main improvements would be the updated base os and cooked apps. This can bring added stability and speed, and of course the htc base updates also bring new divers, but there is no sure and fast way to rate this with so many different apps around.

For me the biggest improvement over stock roms is the ability to use a rom based around 6.5.x which in my opinion is far more user friendly than 6.5. All of my apps work great with 6.5.x and is far more finger friendly. Come on HTC give us a official 6.5.x update!!
[HD2 General] zkid2010:
Do eet...do eet now! ;)

Seriously, flashing a GOOD rom will make your phone like new. That flash comes with updated software packages, optimized Winmo settings, etc.

Best of luck and happy flashing!
[HD2 General] SiL3nTKiLL:
flash it! it always helps, as most custom roms are way better than stock roms!
[HD2 General] tRIACTIs:
i've flashed my first custom ROM on my TD2 in september 2009 after using stock ROM for about 2 or 3 weeks... i've tested mostly all available ROMs out there.

then i've bought my HD2 and even did not start it once in delivery condition! i've put in the battery, start bootloader, flash hspl and agian started to test available ROMs for HD2 :D

for me windows mobile is not a platform for use out of the box! but it's my favorite platform due to the possibilities of customisation ;)
[HD2 General] dio62000:
I think I'll try other ROMs (than stock) when my warranty has expired. When I read about the hardware problems some people are having with their HD2 I think the risk of losing warranty when those hardware problems occur is too big right now.

Having said that... some of the hardware problems may turn out to be software problems and you could avoid these by using a different ROM...
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
(assuming you have a regular leo)

dont forget the warranty need only be invalid for ten minutes. You dont have to leave hspl installed once the rom is flashed.

install hspl2 - choose 2.08.hspl

install cooked rom

run hspl2 again - choose 1.66.0000 - thats it, hspl is gone.

thats it, you have a cooked rom, and a valid spl. They wont refuse you for the cooked rom, only if you try sending it back with hspl still installed.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Ok, thanks. But are you sure they will accept a cooked ROM... even if you remove hspl? I guess the hspl is only to give the ROM a specific number then?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
no one has reported having it refused except when hspl is installed.

in theory you can make a stock rom look like a cooked rom just using cabs, (in theory, in practice it would be pretty tough) whereas hspl specifically violates the terms of use.

not sure what your last sentence means. hspl simply bypasses region and provider lock checks so the rom will install. once it is installed it doesn't need to be a hacked spl.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Thanks for explaining. I didn't know what exactly hspl does apart from allowing to flash different ROMs (although I used it for someone else's device to flash to a different language just following the instructions on the "how to flash"-topic :D).

[HD2 General] d3l1:
it's definitly worth it, even if it takes you some time to restore everything to the way it was befor! In case you become addicted to flashing you'll find a way to easily restore everything each time your flash.

I would never go back to any Stock ROM, only to send my phone back to be repaired!

Just follow the flash guides, it's really easy and takes like 10 minutes (maybe longer the first time because you try to avoid mistakes):

remove SIM and SD cards (!), do a task29, flash radio (optional!), flash ROM, hard-reset, let the phone set up, a second hard-reset, plug-in SIM and SD cards again, restore, done.
[HD2 General] hagba:
Sooner or later we shall all flash the WP7 ROM on our HD2's,so why not start now.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
sooner or later you will all kneel before my magnificence, why not start now?
[HD2 General] hagba:
Sure,since there is life after death why not start living now.
[HD2 General] Johev:
You complained about having to clean RAM in the stock ROM, if you go the flashing way, you can unlock another 128Mb of RAM on your phone, that will help you a lot, if you feel that what you have is not enough.

Good luck.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:

Does anybody know if I can change the standard sense messages widget

in the way that it opens chompSMS instead of the standard app for writing an message.

I tried but couldn't make it happen.

Thanks
[Desire Themes and Apps] lambrospower:
When you install chompsms, it will by default ask you which application to open when you first click the message on the messages widget. Choose the one you want and tick the default option.if you defaulted the standard one just clear defaults from applications and try again

I had been trying to get the GTX Slider (only the slider). I've done research and I had also tried doing it myself for the past 3 days but I'm still progress-less. However, on the bright side, I've been learning how to work around manila files (although with a very noobish skill).

Please help me! For I've been desperate. I think I've done my share on XDA's rule of learning how to search first and trying to work it out.

As mentioned, I've been trying to get the whole look of the GTX Slider, while keeping other Manila themes stocked/customized such as the clock etc.

I've also found this thread called GTX Perfection Slider. It's a GREAT help toward my goal. The only thing missing is that white background on the slider :( And that's the only part that I had been trying to work around with.

Here's a screen shot that I took a few days ago with GTX Perfection Slider:

It's just too dark and it doesn't look all that good.

Using Manila Editor, I tried to locate the name of the file from GTX 1.7.1. I thought I succeeded, copied it (because it looked similar) and pasted it on /Windows on my mobile and I'm still getting nowhere.

The file name I thought it would be was "014758a9_manila".

Can anyone of you help me put a period on my problem? I'm desperately trying :( I'm pretty sure many people would like this slider though. It's simple, elegant and very easy to the eye.

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] k8sh:
The cab to make that transparent is already available. Check out Smaberg's stickied post and look for TouchX Transparent Bottom Curtain. If you want to make it a different color (and not transparent) then simply edit the manila file to your liking.

[HD2 General] vicai:
Hi mate,

before i get stoned for this, just a reminder that this is MY point of view, i am not writing this to start a discussion, simply someone asked a question !

this is very open to discussion, like you asked which one is better? blonde, brunette or redheaded ? :D

until you dont try, you wont know. personaly as my signature says, i stuck with this rom, as i found 2-3 more promissing and better fit my needs, but the chefs were so ignorant, and were not ready to help for few obvious bugs, i gave up on tham.

this one i dont know, you should do the search on xda :o

for myself, battery last from one morning till next day night. not turning it off. hspda always on, mail checking every 10mins, weather download 30mins, average 30sms/day, and using it for business, so the phone calls are something to count on .. and i use the original battery. i also found some chinese batteries on ebay, that are same size, but more capacity.

hope this gave you some new info.

cheers

i'd say hd2, is a matured and stable hardware platform. you can find a lot of good roms here thanks to the ever skillful chefs; and even if you're not a huge fan of winmobile, there is a lot of good developers here and out there looking for ways to port it into android, and perhaps winmob7?

Hi there,

I'm using a Rhodium with the latest stock firmware (ROM version 2.07.407.1).

When my phones display is turned off, received messages (SMS) don't result in an alert until i switch the display back on. That's kind of annoying since it forces me to poll for messages once in a while by a quick look on the phone.

Any ideas if theres some fix for this behaviour?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhernana2j:
I just use the one that is pre-installed on the phone. Bear in mind that its probably because I reset my phone a lot . I install stuff and if it creates a hitch or a bug on my phone I reset it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phenomenon:
I can't remember exactly, but there's a registry and icon tweak that you have to do for it to work for any other GPS program, but it wont work the same way as when you click on Address or Home and have TomTom installed. Usually, since it comes with either CoPilot or TeleNav it is coded so it performs that action when you click it on Navipanel (Example: Click Home on Navipanel and it'll open CoPilot and automatically enter your Home address and all you have to do is press "Go"). The registry and cfg file hacks can help, but you're gonna have to search for those because I can't recall from memory.

As for the "free" Telenav, it's only a trial period. Meaning after 30 days it's gone. Unless you hard reset and enter new username or whatever information it asks for you won't be able to continue using it free. No such thing as "free" with Telenav since you have to connect to their servers to use their program (which is complete bull**** in my opinion).
