Why? Once you have HTC Sync installed it makes no difference.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gascanieto:
For some reason Windows 7 thinks the Hero is a HTC DREAM... Once device manager confirms it is MY HTC, you can leave it on auto.

Hello guys,

Youtube now has real Super HD Videos (4096p) !! Yes its true and if you are on a slow connection it will take hours to buffer even a single minute.

But you don't need to buffer as some screenshots have already been posted here - Check out Super HD video screenshots!

Here is a pic iam posting here from here.

Catch the full story here.

Update: Its 4096p videos not 4000p.
[Off-topic] cmstackar:
they still look horrible compared to a normal hd movie; they really should have increased the bitrate instead of resolution
[Off-topic] GbrilliantQ:
They are improving as of late though. I like their leanback feature too. http://www.youtube.com/leanback
[Off-topic] jagan2:
Yeah have youtube leanback feature is also awesome : http://www.techit.in/youtube-launched-leanback/
[Off-topic] galaxys:
Not sure about having a 25' screen for the 4000p :eek: But, googles leanback feature is very cool :cool:
[Off-topic] orb3000:
Nice ladies galaxys!!

next time you better invite me;)
[Off-topic] black_math:
It isn't 4000p. The resolution is 4096*2304 at 24fps. Therefore, it is 2304p.

Its like calling 1080p video 1920p.
[Off-topic] kalpeshmist:
the logic doesn't apply to this resolution. youtube have come out with the resolution that is not yet properly defined. but it is progressive. if u make a good search, u'll find it's defined in 4096p and not taken the logic of height..

in fact, this resolution is completely different, its not wqhd, wfhd... no it's completely something else..
[Off-topic] Alexander-HTC:
This resolution is called 4K (meaning you need 4 HDTV, each 1080p to watch this :D). The area is 4 times larger as the sides are 2 times larger than full HD.

Personally I think it is BS. First of all you need expensive cameras like RED ONE to record videos. Second you need 4K display which are rare and also expensive. And most importantly the quality because of compression is not great.

Hi, guys..., excuse for my english level. How is possible to cut dates?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] culturelol:
Use a sharp knife ;-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pdafanatic:

If you are looking to cut a few dates, I know of a couple of good fruit knives on amazon that will work well. Enjoy your dates.

Looking for a good reliable rom, just wondering what would you say is the best rom to have on my blackstone?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ueberdosis:
the clean rom ist the best and the fastest rom on xda.

the top version is better than the bottom version.

==> try clean rom top version 1

BlackNew V

I really like BlackNew ROMs. I tried Energy ROMs, both on my Diamond and current Blackstone. They are pretty and full of apps, but slows down the machine a lot. And for speed and functionality is top priority

With BlackNew ROMs you get speed and some usefull apps
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] alchopop:
are the mods on holiday? they normally close these threads because they can be so contentious
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gasman:
Yep cant be long before the padlock cometh...We're not allowed to have a discussion about who likes which rom & why on here :rolleyes: You've got to spend hours and hours, days and days trying them all yourself and going with the one you like, but remember not to post to tell anyone..

;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] philrom:
The mods will soon type something into this thread along with this line: "thread closed" :D
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jrmccann:
Maybe the Mods have realized that you can't close down these types of questions, hence another one will always pop up! These forums by nature produce these comparisons, so in effect they are the root cause. Can you condemn something that you are responsible for?

I love Energy Roms...I always come back to these. They just are "eye candy", and have all the features and personalization ideas that I love...but they are really designed for the HD2 which makes them "fat" on our HD units...Eg... they are 220+ MB for a ROM footprint compared to 168MB for a KWBR rom footprint. Hence the downside to me is they are generally more sluggish COMPARED to others...but they get faster as NRG keeps cooking.

KWBR's rom is quicker, but would love to see some eye candy enhancements.

Miniterror's roms are awesome...but would love to see CHT back in.

Have not tried many of the others as these guys keep producing too much quality to send me elsewhere..

I tried Kenia's BLack V, and that was awesome!! But just could not got back to the 6.1 OS...but he did a super job blending new age enhancements with the stability and speed of the older systems.

Thanks cooks

Regards

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cbnc250:
I don't see the problem with other people's opinion it's like feed back in one place instead of going through each thread on the ROM have one thread with feed back for all the ROM's in one place. Just an idea..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] miniterror:
the reason why they get closed is that everybody has a different look of how a rom should lok like and what should be included in the rom

as it are opinions there cant be decided whats the best rom

also benchmarking wont be the answer as i have read that you can set some thing that the rom becomes verry slow but benchmark scores mega high that it should be the best rom

so for me the best rom is my own:p

i like the colors that are in and the programs and the fact its dutch:p

some others could like nrg rom more as they like those colors or the startmenu at the bottom builds

it all comes down to you what you want;)

maybe on a side note somebody can make a spreadsheet off the roms out here with the functions the roms have like startmenu at the bottom or on top

colors or default look and stuff like that
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] malson:
best ..

.. is your own ROM ..
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xdamir:
My best: Blackdragon 3 Final

I tried them all, but with a windows phone speed and stability should be top priority. You can always customise your phone to your requirements. So I vote for blackdragon by Andy, as my best rom; mainly becasue of its incredible speed and stability.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KelvinBrain:
I've tried most ROMs and became a bit of an NRG fan but I think there are too many changes for me to keep up with these days. It's great to try many ROMs and see what nice toys there are and also which areas of stability you need.

Been using G10's Evo v6.00 (24001) 30.06.10 for a couple of weeks and have to say I love it. Battery and connection (UK) as well as GPS for TomTom is great so I'm sticking with this for a bit.

I'm sure some great new feature or app will tempt me to try something else in the future though.

Just flash a couple a week until you get bored (by then you'll know exactly what you want) would be my best advice
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] _7_:
Hi there,

I my opinion these are the best 3 options:

1: [ROM][WWE][10-Jul-10] Cloudy 0.4 (WM6.1)

It's one of the fastest roms on this forum but has all the features you want. It's no "clean"rom or anything like that. I see this rom as one of the "jewels" around here. I did not detect 1 bug or glitch or anything like that while using this rom for a week now.

2: Try KWBR's rom. I am a big fan of his work and his roms are usually the most stable and also very fast.

3: Go with a wm6.5 titanium rom and if you like buy spb mobile shell and customize it the way you want. I belive ram usages will go up to around 50% while using spb so you are probably not as fast as option 1 or 2.

Good hunting!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] zen_livin:
i would say again there is no such thing best rom...

read the sticky dude...

every chef has different goal on their rom release

exp

- want clean roms for fast performance ( i prefer clean rom ... )

- want stable rom less bug ( for stable i prefer stock rom )

- want best look for lastest rom release ( WM 6.5 com 5 built )
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cbnc250:
I think jude1993 just wanted people's opinion to what they liked or disliked about the ROM's. I am intrested aswell. What is the best ROM is the wrong title for this thread though, Maybe it should say your opinion of the ROM's. Just an idea
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gasman:
I've tried loads of different roms too....Gets very tedious :( Loading all your programs n contacts n messages etc..

This weekend I've tried most of NRG's latest offerings, but dear god they are slow. For me anyway ;) I use my phone for work, not to look trendy, but to run fast, stable & smooth.

I've come from Onkologs stable of roms, so its been tricky to find a modern comparison...And I much prefer 6.5 to 6.1, but not the latest bottom button builds.

For me the fastest most stable clean rom I have come across and go back to each and every time is....

Energy.BLACKSTONE.21895.Titanium.Mar.17

Needs a bit of tweaking here n there but have not found anything to touch it for speed/fluidity/stability.

Just my opinion :p

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] queer~dude:
this is very interesting

as i've been trying out WWE 6.1, 6.5 and 6.5sth(at least 30+ times of flashing)...i'd say i eventually chose WWE 6.1 Lite Rom. The reason why to my choice is more speed, more rom capacity, and ram usage. Well, actually most cookers here did very good job as theirs roms are stable, compatiable and fast in general, appreciated! Without considering eye candy interface, WWE 6.1 is the most fastest rom compare to WWE 6.5 or up...

All in all, there's always sth i think which hardly get solved is language patch problem. Ok say like i am chinese, hk...my rom is WWE 6.1, i'd spent some certain time trying out chinese patch which i needed to read and write chinese...some cabs installed that could read and write in chinese but then while some app running that easy to get device "hang", some apps couldn't display chinese characters properly...this is i what found so far an unresolved issue...would you agree...?

thanks

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Venom~:
over the past 3 days i have flashed about 5 roms Im currently trying miniterror ,but i find my self wanting to go back to the energy roms more for the eye candy

before it used to be duttys roms but now im neither here or there.

But always gravitating towards Energy the Maryone roms I have tried so many times and they always feel too slow and sluggish ...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tamnteh:
try CLoudy 2.2 COM5 or COM2... for me, this is the best ROM ever had. no issues with this ROM. retain more stock ROM... not very much added application or programmes for optimal speed
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] hwoarang626:
okay if there is no best rom ,, i need the fastest rom with out bugs ???

can i get this
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] tamnteh:
every cooked rom got it's own bugs... try it for yourself n let us know which rom best for you. it is up to you to decide. different person, different opinion. :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] natstally:
I hope this thread doesn't get closed, i've found it quite interesting as i'm also looking to get into cooked ROMs for the first time.

I have to say, eye candy probably is the main reason i want to try although i don't want a very slow device. I may start with an ENERGY one.

It can be very confusing and intimidating for people who aren't familiar with it all so even a debate of what some like and others dislike can provide a bit of insight!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] cbnc250:
Debate that is a good word. You never now maybe someone well take the ideas and add them into a rom. Just an idea or it will help others to make up their mind as to what they want or like.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] first_damned:
Yes agreed try Cloudy's roms, he is probably the best cook out there along with KWBR and Xannytech.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] philrom:
Wow... that is an exception sentence "can I get this" :D

No offense my friend, but all the mods do this for not a single penny. So please don't use it. ;)

By the way, the best for me may not be the best for you. So, try them one by one to find the best (I don't recommend this, spend much time, hehehe....).

Well, I guess you what the best ROM for me then.

[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
im sure this usd to work, but recently ive noticed it doesnt. when im in a call, my data connection disconnects. normally this isnt a problem, but sometimes i will want to look something up on the internet while in a call. like i said, im sure this used to work, but now it doesnt. im on t-mobile UK with an unlimited data plan, i have a near full HSDPA signal. im running the CleanEX DsE v15 ROM with Radio 2.11.

any thoughts
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
should work on 3g, not on edge or gprs

don't be confused by the left hand network symbol showing an H, that's just what your network is offering. the signal bars icon must also be showing H
[HD2 General] matthewharmon102:
i have a H as the left hand icon, and a little h above the signal bars. when i start a call, the smaller h changes to a picture of a phone. if i try and use any web features it just times out. when i hang up the call, my data connection seems to have been disconnected, as it shows a T shape above the signal bars, then changes back to the H after a few seconds
[Legend General] colors:
I have tried rooting about 5times with excellent results, this time it did go well for a beginning. I flashed the rom and the phone said success and wanted me to reboot. Then a image with a phone laying on the stomache with light on a greeen symbol with (!) in a triangle came up. Now my phone is dead =( plugged in to the computer dosn´t even work. Not even the powercable. Whats should i do? is it broke? Help! plz!
[Legend General] podaskie:
yup..i thought of rooting my phone, but now:confused:
[Legend General] nycfrankduran:
Have you tried pressing the Volume Up + Power button to get the recovery menu? I would try that first.
[Legend General] colors:
like i said before.. the phone is completely dead. I have tried it all, nothing can power it up. It doesn´t even feel the powercable.. the orange LED isnt on. I think its very strange that no one else have had this problem.
[Legend General] mtrax:
is it a h/w issue?

or have you resolved the problem already?
[Legend General] Brooks316:
When the picture of the phone laying down with the triangle was up you didn't pull the battery did you?
[Legend General] snorremans:
I have got the same problem after updating to another rom. But the rom was defect or it didn't show progress in 5 min time. So I (stupidly) deciced to pull the battery from the phone.. and now I can't turn it on/charge.. :(

please tell me if this is a fixable problem?
[Legend General] colors:
Brooks316

Yes, unfortunately i did :S i tried all buttons and it didnt help so i pulled the battery, what went wrong and what would the proper solution be? it said sucess when i flashed it and then the screen jumped up and it was already to late :S

I havent fixed the problem but it´s taking care of. I have it on service so in 1-2weeks i will get an answer.
[Legend General] colors:
Hi guys! Thought you might want an update with my problem.. i picked it up from the serviceplace today and thanks god it was an warranty thing. They said the mainboard was broken and replaced. Thats like the motherboard on a computer, correct? Can a f*cked up rooting/flashing be the reason?
[Legend General] Thefeilder:
Hey dude, i am guessing they replaced the mainboard because the chip that stores the rom has been courupted, they wouldnt have been able to diagnose it or replace the chip so must have been easier to replace the whole board haha. Your lucky they couldnt tell you had gained root on it!
[Desire General] shoey-n:
This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1

All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)

Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?
[Desire General] DilbertZG:
You mean,they have same name and surname?

In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.
[Desire General] shoey-n:
But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it
[Desire General] dexteral:
let me try to sum what you are trying to say

1. Xavier Spencer 12321456

2. Xavier Spencer 13546798

i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....
[Desire General] Aitese:
I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?

Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.
[Desire General] GaelForce:
Pretty sure the question is, "does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging", NOT do u agree this is a problem...
[Desire General] zikson:
I had problem with Name and Name*, they were merged so i ended up sending nasty message to neighbor instead my girlfriend...
[Desire General] dexteral:
I am pretty sure that this is not a problem. I don't see how anyone can tell by the name that it is a different person if it is the same name . Unless u are a psychic :D
[Desire General] shoey-n:
I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person

And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it
[Desire General] noternet:
Just put the company name as Lastname.

So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be

First Name: Joe

Last Name: Another Contoso

Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be

Joe

Another Kebabs

?
[Desire General] shoey-n:
I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect :p

If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself :cool:
[Desire General] GaelForce:
Once again you appear to have missed the question...

Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.
[Desire General] DilbertZG:
Try this:

Create new contact with same name.

Save contact then open it.

You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.

After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.

Just tested for myself. It works!
[Desire General] shoey-n:
I'm kind of not stock anymore :p

I'm running stock android so the contacts doesn't have link :(

Thanks for the suggestion though

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Hi,

I just bought a HTC Desire from Orange FR.

I bought an unlock code on ebay, it worked very well.

My question is : If I root my phone, and flash a generic Europe rom, will my phone still be unlocked or not ?

Do I still need to do the gold card ?

Thank you for your help
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
Yes your phone will still be unlocked, it doesn't matter what you do to the phone now, it will always be unlocked (unless you change mainboard)

No, you shouldn't need GoldCard now either, but if it's not working, then obviously use a GoldCard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Really good to hear,

Thank you for your answer ! :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
You will still need a goldcard to root.

The sim lock has nothing to do with the goldcard.

You will also find that if you flash a rom with a new radio it will sim lock your phone again. You just need to re enter your unlock code to fix that though.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
I flashed the new leaked radio and it didn't sim lock my phone, I got branded Orange UK, had to unroot to unlock it then re-root and now I've flashed a few radios and it's still unlocked

And sorry about the information about the GoldCard, I read it and thought that you only needed it if the carrier was locked, not that it was branded, so yes you will need GoldCard
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
You may have been lucky with the radio flashes! There have been loads of posts from Orange users who have flashed any radio other than the 405 one and it locked their phones. Either way, once you have the unlock code you are sorted anyway :p
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
Yer, it sim locks Orange if you haven't already unlocked it, it used to sim lock mine and even if I entered the unlock code it wouldn't unlock, I had to unroot and everything just to unlock, and now I can flash any radio and it stays unlocked
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Orphee:
Do I have to root to do this ? :

How to flash ROM

You need to have HTC Sync and Android SDK installed

Download this

Turn off Desire and then turn it on while holding back button to enter bootloader(white screen)

Once in "white screen" press power button again to enter bootloader

Connect Desire with PC

Press Volume Down and than Power to enter Recovery

Now the red triangle should show up, go to folder you downloaded file and press recovery-windows.bat, recovery-mac.sh or recovery-linux.sh depending on which OS you have

Now you are in recovery mode (green screen), press Wipe and than Wipe data/clear storage, than press optical tracker to confirm it

After that press Volume Down to go back to main menu in recovery

Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard using optical tracker, select .zip confirm it and wait until process finish, after that press Reboot system and unplug you Desire

Enjoy your new ROM ;)

I just want to flash a generic Europe rom.

Thank you
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoey-n:
Yes you need root to do that
