[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chef_Tony:
to back up pim data (contacts, appointments...) you can sync with MS myphone or use pimbackup.

to run a rom stable, a hard reset is mendatory, or it will behave strangely, because there are still reg values, which do not match the OS and a lot of data will still be present, yet unused.

to regain all your installed programs, you can use the autoinstall features, most roms come with. there are also ways to back up wm settings and program settings, presented on the forum here.

i also flash a lot, i have ORD ;)

and after the OOBE, i let the autoinstall run through, set up all the system settings and then regain my pim data back from ms myphone. when you do it a lot, it takes about 1 hour after the flashing, till the system and all my 10-15 apps are up and running.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] esackbauer:
I would suggest that you flash a new ROM only if you are really aware of all technical aspects of your current ROM. That you don't seem to know about ActiveSync and MS Phone indicates you still need a lot to learn.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prof_eduards:
I am not that techie so I am having a hard time understanding and catching up on HD2 ROM upgrading threads hoping to solve the problems I am having with my unit i.e. getting stuck at the Stick Together screen, freezing, pulling out the battery, wait for 5-10 minutes ... !

Browsing this forum did not give any good solution to this seemingly perennial problem ... or i have not found the right thread yet?

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated !

SPL-2.02.0000 XE

Manila 2.5.19224011.0

ROM 2.03.531.6

ROM Date: 12/31/09

Radio 2.06.50.23.3

BTW, how can one tell if a unit is TMOUS?

Thanks a lot !!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
tmous has green send key and red end key, and says t mobile beneath earpiece is the easy way to tell.

however, from your posted info, if you haven't made a typo, the big issue is

spl 2.02.0000

2.02 is a test/manufacturing spl, and will deff cause you problems with flashing, in that until you change it you won't be able to apply hspl.

you need to hunt out the "stuck on spl 2.02" threads and start reading.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
Hello all, I have a big issue with this tilt 2 and that is the sms sent and pressing "X" to go back in the inbox of sms messages, it lags for a good 10-20 and sometimes the whole screen would freeze up because of this.

So I recently bought a tilt 2 and the seller told me he flashed it to a new rom which whenever I turn the phone on, it says Energy Rom so does anyone have a solution to this sms sent lag other than deleting all text messages daily, please help!

Thank you all in advance for your time and suggestions!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Teej53214:
Sending a TXT isn't instant... it takes a little bit to log in, transmit, and finish sending the TXT message.. that is most likely the 10-20 sec of "lag" you are experiancing... I use the Energy line of roms myself... and I feel they are the best over all roms out there... period.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lennyz1988:
And it has nothing to do with the crappy htc sms client? :P come on it isn't normal that you have to wait 10-20 seconds when you send a sms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] devis:
I'd have to agree. A SMS is about 1/7th of a kilobyte and a kilobyte is practically nothing. Sending a SMS doesn't cause a lag. I've been sending SMS since 1998 and WM wasn't even an option back then. It's all Microsoft and their crap OS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
I have to agree, it is the crappy htc sms client to blame, so I'm guessing noone have found a solution to this yet? Have you guys tried to hotfix from htc site?

I owned the tilt 1 and there was no lag at all in sms.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
Ok, this is going to sound stupid but I'm not familiar with these types of ROM, such as Energy Rom. Is that the same as Manila 2.5? Or are they completely different?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lennyz1988:
I can help you picking a rom and flashing, just pm me :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Outlaw78a:
Its hard to belive that you guys are gaetting that much lag,im running stock everything WM6.5,ive checked speeds with various people and the most i get is 5seconds of lag.

of course if i have running apps,and im not overclocked it hesitates a little..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Lennyz1988:
And what version of sense do you use? 2.1?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:

I tried to PM you, are you getting my messages?

Can you help me please :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Doo Doo:
What Exactly Do You Need Help With?

Maybe I Could Try To Help You. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
I am attempting to change the interface on my tilt 2 to android or something else so the sms in threaded mode won't lag and plus im tired of the WinMo appearance. =)

Thank you for your time!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] swaters3:
Hi I have the same problem as you and it drives me crazy. tell me if im correct: You are complaining about the fact that after you press x to close a threaded text conversation it lags getting back to the inbox. On mine everything changes back to the inbox except for the top of the screen and then it just sits there till it eventually goes bqck. Your not reffering to how long it takes for you friend to receive the text, correct? Ive tired installing the most current sms program from htc that was taking from another phone and although it looked much niicer and had some cool features it didnt work right and i had to switch back. Maybe somone reading this can suggest something. It sdriving me crazy. as far as changing from the windows look which either you mean what they call titanium which is that homescreen where you have everything in alist and you can scroll up and own through it or do you you mean what they call touch flo or sense where you move along the bottom of the screen through tabs? either way i would highly recomend spb mobile shell which will make your phone similar to android layout. It works great and is reqally easy to customize everything. or at least touch flo/sense with what they call cookies home tab which helps you customize your home screen. Let me know whcih one you have and which one you want and ill help you. I dont know how to program but i do know how to use the phone well, and customize it thanks to all the developers here who provide us with so much to do it with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
@ swaters3, yes that is exactly the probably with sms, it takes forever to go back to inbox screen and it freezes up. I'm not should what layout I have but its WinMo and the previously owner changed the rom the Energy Rom, if that matters. As for the Android layout, I heard I can do a dual boot where I can keep both WinMo and Android on the tilt 2. I was thinking, if I can boot to android that the sms will function right. As of now, I am still stuck with tilt 2 lagging sms threaded mode. Frustrating.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] demonlordoftheround:
Do you hava a lot of sms or e-mail saved on the phone? That can cause it to bog down.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Girli3e:
Yeah, but I originally owned the tilt 1 and had over 4,000 text message and encounter no problem sending out text messages.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] swaters3:
i wish someone could help us with the lag, lately ive just learnt to be patient, though that is a little ridiculous. There is a sms program from htc (thecompany that makes the phone) that is much nicer and did not have the lag. I did have some other issues but maybe it will work for you. Search in xda for updated htc sms app and see if you can find it. as far as anroid goes I am trying to get mine to work properly and have still not got it to connect to sprint. Its a work in progress and not everything works so i dont think you would want to switch to it permanently. Give it a shot though its very cool and gets better every few days. As of know I think the camera is still not working but most everything else is. I would recomend spb mobile shell. watch some videos on youtube although you will be able to customize it yourself completely. Youll need to play with it to figure out how to customize it but its pretty easy just drag and drop type of stuff with anything on the phone. It looks and works like android but youll still be suing windows mobile. Its works great for me and i wouldnt be able to keep this phone if not for it. I hope that helps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Untouchab1e:
This is a rather odd question, but Im curious. Do older versions of Android have known security issues that have been patched in in later versions? The reason I ask is that if this is the case, then that means that all these graphical interfaces for Android, such as Sense, MotoBlur etc which seem to be the main reason why updates for these phones take so long to arrive, actually cause a security risk on those phones..

Meaning, an Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro for instance, runs Android 1.6 (or is it even 1.5?).. Does that mean that its vulnerable to exploits that have been patched in Android 2.1/2.2?

Hope this made sense
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Vosberg1:
I have been looking at the different themes / icons, and first off, my hats off to the ones who make them. I do my own stuff, but i admit, i cant hold a candle to some of you, so, if some one has some time, and a little creativity on their hands, could there be a theme / icon set made for a truck enthusiast? I have always loved Pete trucks, and, if there is a thread to the (to keep the finger pointing away) medical marijuana group, could there be room for a trucker?

PS - would be nice to see some of the new and old rigs in it..... LOL. I do have a wall paper, but, if a wall paper is included, there would be one addition from me, a pic of an old friend, but it would be cool to see what you guys can come up with....

[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
This may be a problem beyond the scope of android, but seeing as I'm running it, I thought I'd try here first.

I've noticed that the lower left hand side of my screen has a "dead spot" where touch is simply not registered. To illustrate, I went to screen calibration's test screen and drew a straight line along the edge of the screen. (See Attachment)

I've tried recalibrating the screen (manually and resetting to default calibration) as well as wiping data and reinstalling the system. Reinstalling the system worked once, but then the problem came back and subsequent reinstalls did not fix the issue.

I'm running Incubus26jc super froyo [RLS 12] on the 15-07-10 340X480 Froyo Kernel.

Anyone else seen anything like this? As far as I can tell, the problem is not getting any worse. Currently, it's only a hindrance when trying to use keys in that region, but I can work around it by switching to and from landscape. It's a bit of a hassle, so I'm hoping someone may be able to shed some light on the situation.

I was sure it was hardware until the system reinstall fixed it, but am now baffled as I can no longer replicate the fix.

I have not tried reinstalling the kernel but will at some point in the next day or so. I'd like to avoid switching back to WM to check if the problem persists, but may have to... we'll see. Doing everything I can to make this phone last until the Incredible month of February when I'm up for an upgrade.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
dont know the issue resolution... but i have the same with my touch vogue.. and in the same 'area' apparently as well.

hard for me to hit the 'a' key on my keyboard. hehe
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one... anyone else?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Bottom right corner for me... I was able to calibrate around it but it took a few tries.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gooph:
The sensitivity across my screen was inconsistent some time ago. I found that years of my abuse had taken a tole on the exterior of my phone. It eventually got worse and I bought a new housing (with a new digitizer) on ebay for a reasonable price. If it is hardware then it really isn't that hard to fix if you like taking things apart.

If you're sure that win mo accepts input from that part of the screen then nevermind my post. I would play with a painting app though and investigate the hardware further.

I may be talking a little out my a$$ with this part but.. is it possible that in calibrating your screen the os may change it's settings on how hard you have to press and such also. that may be how you got it working.

In any case, my investment in a hew housing was well worth it considering how modern my old phone has become thanks to the developers here.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
In my case, no - when drawing a straight line down or across the screen, the line starts 'moving' away from the stylus (like the picture in the OP).
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
Gah... now it's shutting itself off randomly and the dead spot has grown. Not good at all.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
Yeah, mine was better for a while then 'slid' again. I ended up swapping the digitizer with my other Vogue and things are back to normal.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
I have another vogue, but am weary of doing anything like that. How hard was it to get done?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
All you need to do is switch the front half of the housing rather than the digitizer itself- it's not hard. There's a teardown guide somewhere in the forum, Google Vogue teardown and it should be at the top.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] preardon:
The only thing that worries me is that my spare vogue exists because it was dropped in a muddy puddle. I'm hoping the water damage isn't too bad. Guess we'll just have to see.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] challa.ani:
it is really annoying :(

I have the exact same problem and I too thought it was a hardware issue till I saw this Thread. I was ignoring it till two days ago when it started really bugging me. Now, I don't even need to press any button and it automatically gets pressed around the curve and I have a google search box there, so it keeps on searching for eee or sss randomly and started draining my battery. Is there a proper fix for this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] DrGit:
I thought I'd chime in too... I could never seem to calibrate the touchscreen properly in either Android or Debian. Changing the screen resolution (i.e. msmfb scaling) seems to have no effect, whether it's 240x320 or 640x480. Any area within 5mm or so of the edges of the LCD will register as the edge, making "A" and several other keys on the virtual keyboard impossible to hit. Passing calibration values to the kernel didn't seem to fix anything, but it's possible I was using them the wrong way...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] pachuau86:
i have the same kind of problem on my Kaiser... i think its realted to hardware... either the housing or the digitizer...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] qumast:
I am experiencing the same problem on X10 mini pro. the same screen spot exactly, i have to try very hard to get z or x or shift to work. Sometimes when I try locking the screen and unlocking it back, it works.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] qumast:
update

so after a very long time with this problem i decided to change the digitizer and problem is gonne. visualy the broken digitizer had nothing wrong with it. The fix was fairly easy though, there is no glued parts involved into getting a new digitizer on the u20i.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] George.Mts:
Touch Screen

I just bought a brand new Cubot One and it looks more than perfect! It has just a little problem with the touch screen ( I think its the software, need ROM change). There is a dead line on the right side of the screen that touch doesn't work at all. Any solutions? Anyone faced that before? Can I fix it myself or do I have to send it back for replacement? Is there any video or guide that shows its done?

I uploaded a video on YouTube to show the problem but i cant post it yet.. (new member)

You can write "Cubot One touch screen problem" and it's the 1st one.

If you did unrEVOked forever, you can flash anything you want and keep root. You have to flash a recovery image from fastboot to get back root, but you can run the OTA, flash a recovery, flash the super user stuff (or a rooted rom), you have root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:

Remember to uninstall HTC Sync from your computer. jiqqaman was correct, EVO3 will work when you reopen the application without HTC sync on your comp. As for Cyan, you need Amon_RA. I'll try to install Amon_RA in a bit, just flashed BakedSnack 1.5 for now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] klbjr:
Quick question. Don't know if this has been answered before. After I downgrade to 2.1 do I have to use unreoveked's method to root or can I use toastcfh's 2-part method? I'm asking because on my original Evo I used toastcfh's method because at the time unrevoked's method didn't unlock nand or it didn't do it permenantly, but after reading I see that unrevoked's let's you do OTA and still keep root as where toastcfh's method doesn't or didn't from what I read.
