issues/bugs

have to say this latest ROM update was a waste of time! i can't find any performance gain, i have less RAM than before (and i haven't even installed half of what i had before), and i've already encountered a few bugs/issues:

1) voice mail number wont be saved after inputting

2) annoying sms sent notification can't be switched off!

3) start menu scrolling/touch control is jerky

4) phone call can't be aborted while connecting/touch control didn't work

5) graphical glitches with the phone tab

so, i can only strongly advise 1.66 users NOT TO UPGRADE if they are mostly happy with performance and features of their current ROM build.

problem concerns the SMS SENT notification - so it doesn't even confirm the message was received! very annoying as there's still no solution as it seems...

I disagree... the only issue I've noticed is the deletion of kinetic scrolling from Sense. Apart from that I've had no problems, so far. There are quite a few enhancements with the new ROM:

1) Major update to the Voice Recorder app

2) Ability to delete e-mails from the Sense mail preview tab

3) Much improved handling of the camera flash and white balance... no more over-exposed flash pics and no more blinding flashlight when forcing the flash on

I'm running a few add-ons without any problems... Dutty's task manager, changeScreen, Co0kie's Home Tab, CHTEditor, MoDaCo NoData, TCPMP 2.0 and Zevele AutoLoudspeaker 1.5. The only app I was running with 1.66 WWE which doesn't work with 3.14 WWE is Vovichek_Jamrecords 20 shortcuts, but I don't need that with Co0kie's Home Tab anyway, so no problem.

There IS a fix for this and it's contained in that very thread... simple reg edit.

Hi,

I have an german tmobile branded HD2.

Before I flashed the 3.14 I go back to the official 1.72 from t-mobile with the 2.07 Radio.

After this I have flashed the 3.1.4 rom with sspl and have the new rom on the phone with the old radio (2.07).

The Info shows 448mb of RAM and 336.77 mb program memory (171 mb free).

The only way to put the new radio (2.15) on the phone is HSPL and flashing via SD. After flashing the new radio the info shows only 208 mb program memory (50 mb free)

Now I use the phone with the old radio.

Is there another way to put the new radio only to an german t-mobile branded phone?

After following this thread I decided not to upgrade ....... :D:D:D

The only times I have to do the batt out and in is when I am in a "radio hole" and my HD 2 wants to update ....... ( happens once every 3-4 months) thanks to the tweaks from XDA.

The only thing I would be interested in is the camera enhancements. Can anyone post the complete reg-settings for the camera of the new ROM ? :D:D:D

Or a comparison 1.66 + cam patches and the new ROM ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MadSci:
How do we remove HSPL?

Webjunky, thanks for your suggestion, which is the same one you gave me yesterday. We noobs and seminoobs need all the help we can get!

I'm just a bit confused, because the instructions I can find on XDA say that to remove HSPL you have to flash to an earlier Stock ROM, which would overwrite the new ROM wouldn't it? I presume that the next move would be to re-flash with the new ROM, but isn't that going to load HSPL onto the phone again? I thought all the new ROMs used HSPL. Am I wrong? Is that just what happens with custom ROMs, and not the new Stock ROMs?

I think that my confusion may come from the Phone having been sold to me with HSPL loaded onto it by the seller who used it to remove the Telstra ROM by putting the 1.66 Stock ROM onto the phone, but I am not sure of this.

So, do I understand correctly that the thing to do would be to backup my data with Sprite, then flash back to an early Stock ROM, like 1.66, using the USB method (employing the HTC Installer via the USB cable and Activesync) or is it the microSD method? I see references to both on the Forum, some saying never to flash a stock ROM via microSD, and others that you must(?) This would perform a Hard Reset, replace the new ROM with the old one, but remove HSPL in the process. Then flashing the new Stock ROM (again using the USB method), which would not install HSPL. The result would be a phone with the new ROM, SPL, but no HSPL - resulting in a lot more free RAM.

Then restoring my data etc using the Sprite Backup file (merge level 3 usually works well for me when I do a ROM upgrade) and all should be well.

If I ever want to install a custom ROM I would have to install a version of HSPL on the phone, but if I stick with Stock ROMs that's not an issue - correct?

If you could take a moment to confirm if I have it correct, or to warn me off if not - I would be VERY appreciative. :)

thanks!

I have used SSPL for flashing the new rom after installing stock rom.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JayMore:
Flashing the new ROM from mSD with HSPL enable doesn't brick your phone. It just overwrites HSPL with SSPL v3.03 XE.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pkoper:
Apply HSPL and just flash the radio standalone found here on xda.

Here is a recooked german stock 3.14 rom. I only modified the nk.ex so that works fine with a non 3.03 (H)SPL.

Hello,

I downloaded the official rom from the official HTC website.

It is the WWE East Europe version - suited for my device because the SN is confirmed.

The download finished OK from the Europe 2 server.

I flashed by placing the extracted leoimg.nbh on the root of the SD Card.

I confirmed that the flash was successful - it shows the correct version number of Manilla, radio, etc. Additionally, the ROM is still only 448 MB.

However, the phone freezes all the time and/or restarts itself complely randomly - I have observed this 22 times in the past hour. Is anyone experiencing something similar?

I have redone the flash again, but the same issue occurs.

This is happening with no programs installed, no HSPL, etc. Everything is completely clean.

What can I do to stop this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uli68:
glad to hear you are happy. however, i am not, especially the problems with the phone app and the lack of smooth scrolling in Sense. so i take it the absence of the "kinetic scrolling feature" is the reason - can i somehow reactivate this with a registry tweak?

also, can you please report which version of CHT you have installed? would like to run it myself again very soon as i miss the nice flip switch icons! :)

in respect to the SMS Sent notification bug: believe me i've tried to replicate the reg tweaks posted but it didn't work out. if you got it work please explain how. thanks!

how is that? my Info screen says 512 MB Flash RAM. can you tweak this now?

it happened to me the same thing! that's because I have a branded HD2

I lunched from PC an original branded ROM (*.exe), the same that was present when i bought it... this installed the original situation SPL 1.66 + ROM 1.72TIM (in my case) +RADIO,

after that I installed again HSPL 2.08 from HSPL3.exe

and apreferred cooked radio and rom...

Here, I read that someone suggested to flash directly HSPL 2.08 from HSPL3.exe ... but I (repeat) installed the original rom before!

DO NOT INSERT THE NEW ROM ON SD!!! the new rom 3.14 can't be installed properly by sd!

Any 02 UK users still hanging on in there - I emailed 02 support today asking if they knew when their testing would be complete and the ROM made available etc, they replied simply:

"Thanks for emailing us about the HTC ROM.

I'm sorry we don't have any information on the release of this product.

We'll update our website on its release."

So, no time soon then I guess.....

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MadSci:
Thanks - might help when I get back home

So I think that the issue here is that this was an Aussie phone which had HSPL put on it and an unbranded WWE ROM installed. I was able to install the new ROM via USB and then everything was fine except ther ewas almost no RAM left. At teh suggestions of some well meaning people her I was instructed that I could just remove the HSPL via flashing the original ROM to the machine via mSD. I did this, BUT to me the original ROM was the 1.68 WWE ROM that came with the phone, but once SPL was on the phone it checked and saw this was an Australian phone, and wouldn't load the 'Original' ROM.

Once I can load a Telstra ROM (Horrors!) onto the mSD Card at home, I think I will be able to get that ROM onto the phone. Then I will try to load HSPL (I don't know how but I will have to learn fast!) onto the phone, then flash the 1.68 WWE ROM, which will bring me back to where I started.

But the new ROM was soooo fast and sweet! I will miss it terribly!

And then wait for someone to come out with a new version of HSPL that will properly install the new ROM onto my phone.

And frankly, if I don't have a working phone by sunday morning I'll have to go buy an iPhone, because my phone is a critical business tool!

Wish me luck! Any commetn son my approach will be appreciated!

Anyone have same problems with the setting "reduse volume when you pick up the phone"? It does not always work. It seemed to me that in the 1.66 rom work better.

I have had, also, a strange issue with Resco Explorer 8.10. When I use cut-paste it crash and in Resco 8.10 the touch sensibility it is not good. The version 7.05 works fine. In the 1.66 stock rom, Resco 8.10 works fine.

Does the 3.14 stock ROM unlock the 576 RAM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] webjunky:
no it doesn't , atleast it didn't for me :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MadSci:
do be careful!

Riverplace, see my posts in this thread. Although I was able to flash the new ROM using HSPL, the Phone ran much better than before, except for the having only 15-30 Mb of RAM left.

I was advised to remove the HSPL by flashing an old ROM to get rid of HSPL, but the result was a brick.

If you have a country specific ROM that is ok for the country of origin of your HD2, then you should be ok. And if you have a new ROM for the TMobile version you will be ok, but otherwise watch out!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Riverplace:
I'm not sure I understand. Since I have the T9193 does that mean I have to flash the stock telstra rom before I try this one?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MadSci:
I think this ROM is not a good idea for the telstra HD2

Looking through the thread i have reached the following conclusion:

The poeple warning against flashing this ROM if it is not intended for the country of origin of your phone ARE RIGHT!

All the other advice about how to accomplish the flash is only relevent if you pay attention to that warning.

The reason seems ot be that HSPL doesn't get along well with this ROM. It will allow you to flash it, but it leaves itself in the memory, and the ROM and HSPL together take up too much space. You end up with a great phone with almost no remaining memory and that is always a problem for a Windows phone.

So if you're like me, running a Telstra HD2 an AT&T in the states, you are either sufering pergatory with a Telstra ROM, or someone flashed an WWE ROM onto it, probably using HSPL to get around the country of origin mis-match.

This works for earlier WWE ROMs, but NOT for this one!

lots of noobs and semi-noobs like me are having problems like this, and you can bet that the real experts will be busy working on a new version of HSPL that is compatible with this ROM, but until then I'd stay away.

Consider yourself warned!

To add two missing features in ROM 3.14

To add/enable two missing features in the latest ROM 3.14 I've created two .reg files that automate the required registry tweak. Unzip them, copy them to your SD card on your device and run them from there, that's all. Run file ClearType_Settings.reg to enable the Clear Type setting and run Disable_SMS_notification.reg to disable the annoying sent SMS notification. Soft-reset your device when done.

I think there's gonna be looooong time before they update polish rom, htc doesn't care much about us, and still it will be much slower than english one. But what you can do is download western European version like Czech for example and install it, you will have English version on Polish phone, works fine for me, and i have much more storage space in main memory than before.

Addressing other issues:

- Kinetic scrolling works flawlessly in my version

- After installation i had about 100 megs storage. :D

- Manila is much faster than before.

- Clear type is simply a thing of adding one key to the registry so np.

- Bluetooth connections are much more stable

-Keyboard is highly improved, now i get almost no misspellings or delays with stock keyboard.

- alarms work great (At least!!!!!)

- albums are waaaay faster (no more duplicated photos when displaying album content)

Regarding manila rotation, i've added all the necessary keys to the registry and it still didn't work, so i took bsb tweaks, manila was allready on it's list, i ticked manila's box and selected from the menu "enable rotation"

One thing annoying me is the time format, i was unable to check the box saying that i want to use the 24 hour format (it was gray) so i've installed the tweak enabling 24h but still the flip clock is am/pm and the alarms application is also.

That values are too high for the original 3.14 ROM. To me it seems that that values belong to a custom 3.14 ROM with full 576 RAM enabled.

Your data memory values: Total 174,13MB

Used memory: 79,80MB

Free memory: 94,33MB

That values are ok.

Your program memory values: Total 208.81MB

used prog. memory: 176.38MB

free prog. memory: 32.43MB

Your total prog. memory is much too low. It seems to be that famous "RAM issue" that occurs in combination with HSPL 2.08 and this 3.14 ROM

if you don't want hspl to flash custom roms (use hspl2.08) you can flash it from sdcard (you need a "goldcard" if you want to flash a different cid rom) with the spl3.03 that is built in 3.14.40X.X.

my recommendation is to wait for your localized rom version (i'm patiently waiting for the german version - not even a sign of it yet).
