Flashing a custom ROM is relatively easy. But be sure to read as much as you can before you start. These are a must read:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

And Task29 is optional, but highly recommended:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191

If you do the reading, and follow the instructions carefully, you will be fine. HardSPL only takes a couple minutes, and flashing the ROM itself takes a few minutes. It takes some time (few minutes) for your phone to reboot after you flash. Add in time to get the phone configured the way you like, reload the apps, etc., then the entire process may take you an hour or so. Maybe a bit more the first time, since you want to make sure you're doing it all correctly.

But trust me, its worth the time and effort.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
You can change the wallpaper all you want. In fact its easier on the Energy ROM than stock (and more options). The ROM also comes with a variety of themes to choose from. Or you can change the theme with some of the cabs available on this website.

Keep in mind that flashing a custom ROM will delete all your data. So you will need to synch, backup your contacts, etc. (several different options for this). You are basically starting from scratch, except better. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
One thing I have notice, the latest version of the Energy ROM (Sept. 29) seems to have more bugs than usual, due to his updating Cookies Home Tab from 1.5 to the 2.0 beta. Nothing that seems like a real dealbreaker, but some annoying things (like the album art on the music player showing the previous - not currrent - song played).

You may/may not want to hold off a bit to see if these kinks get worked out. NRG updates often (usually every 5-7 days). So some of these things might be fixed soon. In fact, it looks like new ROMs will be uploaded soon, maybe today. Read the last few pages of the Energy ROM thread for more details.

That said, even with a few bugs, the Energy ROM would still be a big improvement over the stock ROM. It fixes so many things, so much faster, and more functinal, that its still a net improvement by a long shot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
Yeah well thats alot of the information I was looking for so thank you! My next question is do I need to remove the memory card and sim card when I do this? also is this safe for my computer?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
As you'll see in the n00b instructions, its advised to remove both the SIM and the SD card to avoid them from becoming formatted or otherwise damaged during the process.

And yes, its completely safe for your desktop computer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
ok so i did the hard spl and it worked i think it was just like a hard reset without deleting apps and messages but when i went to download the new rom to my computer hotfile was annoying and it came up as an unknown file type and i couldnt find it after i downloaded it could someone walk me through or help me! plllllleeeeeeeeeeeez
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
No, HardSPL is nothing like a hard reset. SPL only allows "official" ROMs released by your cell carrier to be flashed. HardSPL unlocks the SPL so you can flash any ROM.

What browser are you using to download the files? Depending on your browser, and how its defaulted, the files should be at My Documents\Downloads, or can be somewhere else altogether.

The files are zipped using a compression called 7zip, so you need to unpack them using the 7zip program. For some reason, the latest Energy files seem to only be unpackable with the latest 7zip version (I think the 9.17 beta, see link below), which has not been the case in the past. I've been able to unpack lots of previous builds using more common unzip programs like Winzip or WinRAR (which may or may not already be on your computer). I haven't personally downloaded or flashed the latest Energy ROM, but if you search the Energy ROM, there is a good amount of discussion on this issue.

http://www.7-zip.org/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
ok so what your saying is i judt have to download the 7 zipbfolder and then it will work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
Yes, download the 7zip application (get the 9.17 beta .exe) and install it. Then it should unpack the archive automatically when you click on the .7z file.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
Ok I downloaded the 7zip and tried to download the standard reference rom and it still said it was unknown. I installed 7zip. Do I need to save the rom to a certain folder or what?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
Were you sure to get the latest 7zip version, the 9.17 beta?

Is the 7zip program giving you the error message, or Windows? If its just Windows telling you the file type is unknown, then right mouse click on the ROM file, and select "Open With", scroll down to "Choose Program" (if 7zip is not already given as an option) and choose 7zip.

You can also right click on the file, choose "Properties", under where it says "Opens with", click the "Change" button, and choose 7zip from there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
When I am downloading now it doesnt say anything. Am I suppossed to hit open or save? and then what? Im sorry I swear redpoint your my own personal jesus christ! Thank you soooooo much if you could respond asap that would be awesome!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
What browser are you using? Save it somewhere you can find it, like the desktop or My Documents. If you are extracting with 7zip, extract it likewise wherever you like. I like to create a folder on my Desktop named "Energy ROM 10-9-10" or the like.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] tscyadi4:
Alright so Ive finally gotten the file!!!!! My current computer that I am using is super slow and isnt updated so I have moved the files from energy rom to a cd which I am going to put on my really good working computer. Now for my question. When I used activesync on my bad computer it connected once and that is all. When I took the sim card and SD card out and turned on the phone, it started up fine and now when I hooked up the usb cord to the phone it wouldnt activesync. My question is, if I did the things Im supposed to on my better computer will it do the same thing as what it did on the bad computer or will it work?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
What version of Windows are you using, XP, Vista or Windows 7? If you are using Vista or Windows 7, you should be using Windows Mobile Device Center. Active Sync for XP.

As long as you have Active Sync installed on the "new" machine (and its an XP machine), it should work fine. But some things may interfere with the USB connection, such as firewalls. Also, if the USB port is not working, you can try a different port, and sometimes this will do the trick.

If USB fails, you can flash from a Micro-SD card. Just copy the .nbh file from the ROM file you downloaded into the "root" directory (highest level, not into a folder) on the SD card. Once you enter the bootloader (tri-color screen) on the phone with the USB not connected, it will flash the .nbh file automatically. There are instructions on flashing from the SD card on the "n00b" guide to flashing a ROM in the Rhodium ROM Development forum.

OK,

I'm a complete newb and leaving the iphone behind after having to update one to many times and waiting for a new jailbeak.

What I want to do is root the slide and set it up fo tethering, so far it does everything else that I want.

I've read the two forums posts on rooting and tethering, but how do I know what OTA version I have and what do I check to see if the process will work?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
chances are you have to use the latest root version. to verify, go to setting and 'about phone' all the way at the bottom. your version is under 'baseband version'

not many roms have working wifi tether so you'll have to use the barnacle app and check the wpa supplicant box in the settings of that app
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhoward223:
Thanks for the reply.

My baseband is 47.41.35.10u_7.09.35.10

Hopefully someone knows the answer to this; I'm trying to create a port of the 2.2 notification icons for the 2.1 Captivate ROMs; I've managed to finish the framework-res file, but I can't find the MMS/SMS icon.

Checked the twframework file also. I really dig the yellow icon for messages and would like to include it.

Anybody happen to know what system file it's stored in? Thanks in advance.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frogbert:
I have run into an issue with my phones internal memory running low at 14.97 MB. My hero is rooted and running Fresh 2.4. I went through the process of partitioning my SD card(class 6) and made sure app2sd was running. I have close to 80 apps installed. I'm curious whether my memory should be that full with app2sd sunning properly? Also what else is stored in internal memory?

I realize I may have left out some pertinent information to this problem but let me know and I will provide it. Also sending me a link to a spot for more information would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys i have really bad problem there is NO WAY to connect my HD2 to PC in windows mobile. I have 5 years experience in WM and have been using my phones to sync until NOW-it simply wont work anymore.

I tried switching computers, always shows just charge, not Mass Storage or ActiveStink, the pop-up doesn't show, only charger is showed in taskbar.

I tried flashing stock ROM&radio (1.66), switching extra 2 computers and all ports on theirs an mine,

I tried going to Android and start pc connection and it WORKED, flashing (obviously) also works. only in (any) wm rom apparently doesnt. what the hell?!?

dirty / faulty usb socket. give it a scrub with a dry toothbrush. read the threads "stuck in car kit mode".

not sure why it should work in android, but your symptoms (charge only, and calls go straight to speaker) are both seen by everyone with this problem.
[HD2 General] stirkac:
thank you will do that!

i thought that android isn't coded to support car kit so it can bypass the "flaw" if it doesn't know what's the signal for

thx a bunch!

UPDATE:

Solved problem with scrubing on usb port with toothbrush to clean the dust away, but it still didn't work right away so i had to MOVE CONNECTED usb cable to all directions pretty hard. it started working while pushing on RIGHT. thanks to samsamuel!

otherwise count up all the rows and multiply that by the columns. It can't take that long.

Hello all!

I've messed with Android a bit on my old Touch Pro 2, but I am definitely new to configuring it. What I want to do is set Google Voice as my default messaging program (so I can have everything going through it).

I tried doing it with the stock launcher (TouchWiz) and I also installed Launcher Pro to no avail.

I figure the setting should be in:

Settings

-Applications

--Manage Applications

---Show all

----Messaging

-----Clear Default

Unfortunately the Clear Default button is grayed out so I am unable to actually do anything there.

Anyone know how to do this or have any ideas?

(Yes I will be rooting/custom rom installing soon!)

Thanks!

Edit: I do have Google Voice installed and it works fine for voice calling.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
When I click message button in contacts, it asks whether I want to use 1) messaging or 2) google voice. I can also choose one as the default from there.

EDIT: Oops I read "radio" as "rom", fixed my reply.

Radios, I don't think they're that important (as in, it doesn't really matter which one you have), but I just downloaded the new 2.14 which is Android friendly, they say it improves reception greatly. If it's true, then it probably is the best at the moment.

As for your other question about data.img, I would like to know too :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Screemi:
i updated to 2.14.50.04 today and my reception didn't really get any better. i hoped it would because the reception in the area i live is very very poor. idoors i get 1-2 bars and nothing has changed appart from a higher battery drain. i was at about 5-6mA in standby now i can add around 2-4mA to it.

The data.img is basically all the info uve fed android, like ur gmail account, any apps you install, messages, etc. The data.img is read from and written to, thus, everytime u reboot ur phone and go back to android, u don't start all over again. 1gb is larger than the original 512mb allowing u to install more apps. Other than that, I know nothing more about the data.img

I'm not pro so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
@ itsallsubliminal

No it's right :D

I just wanted to add that the data.img is like your internal storage in WM. It simulates the NAND for android. This is the problem with the battery drain issues, because this img is stored on your SD and the SD uses a little more battery than the internal memory. (maybe 1% per 2 hours in standby or something like that :))

And I would recommend you the 2.14. radio, as it improved my signal quality. My data throughput is now about 5x higher than with the 2.12 radio and my standby is on the same level as before (3-9mA)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NessD:
