[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] redpoint73:
Energy ROM is what I use, and I love it. Its a good tradoff of speed/stability and looks/features. But some feel its not the fastest or most "lightweight" ROM out there. If you want that, some people have recommend Jackos or Valkyrie. Also, lots of people like Deep Shining.

There really is no "best" ROM. It depends on whether you prefer eye candy or speed (or somewhere in the middle), what kind of apps you like to have cooked in, etc.

But I agree to the previous advice given to the OP. Flashing a custom ROM will fix many, many things over the stock ROM. Your phone will be faster, more stable, and have more functionality and features. Figuring out how to flash a custom ROM can be a little intimidating at first. But once you've learned how to do it, its really a snap. And then you will wonder why you ever waited so long to do it! Just make sure you read all the "stickied" guides, read as much as you can about the ROM you are flashing, and follow the instructions carefully.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] marduk79:
I recommend Jackos S2 Rom. It is by far the fastest rom i've tried. When you first flash it, it looks very close to a stock rom and it works great just like that and if you want to, you can modify it to your liking. If you want to take a look, you can find the thread here--->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=632617. If you want to see what it looks like modified, take a look at my profile pic. Jackos rom has been what i've used for the last few months. Like everyone else before me said, do the HSPL before anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JRM.joaquin:
Thanks everyone. Really really appreciate all the comments. You guys definitely gave me enough ideas and confidence to flash my phone. I can't wait XD
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ace10134:
You can also read ROM reviews on The Wingster. But there's no best ROM as everyone said. Find something that fits what you need....

If you want SPEED: Choose a Sense 2.1 ROM or even a ROM without Sense (a.k.a. Titanium)

If you want FEATURES: Choose a Sense 2.5 ROM, with CookieHomeTab or another similar enhancement. They will be slower overall, but they have some neat extra features.

Go with Windows Mobile 6.5.5 unless you really like the Windows Mobile 6.5 design.

Then test out a few ROM's and see what works for you.

If you need any help, in addition to the forums, you can use the Support link on The Wingster and I can help you out. But if you read all of the instructions, everything should work well!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JRM.joaquin:
I did my little research and I believe it's a GSM. My phone is TILT 2..is that right?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] ace10134:
If you bought your phone from AT&T, then YES it is a Tilt 2, which is GSM.

Your phone is always GSM except if you bought it from Verizon, Sprint, or Telus. Every other provider (T-Mobile, AT&T, and worldwide ones) is GSM!

So if yours is GSM, pick any ROM from the forums here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcxtreme30:
Check under the battery if it takes a SIM card its gsm..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Umm, no, that's wrong, sorry. CDMA phones still have a SIM card slot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jackos:
Only CDMA Worldphones do have a sim slot.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Unilqadium:
Sorry guys, but I´m a little bit noobish about that. How can I get if I am "GSM" or "CDMA" with Touch Pro 2 for sure ? I still don´t get the signs of recognizing....

I saw some thread about it, but still do not understand the problem of this separation.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yeah but this is the Rhodium forum, and were're talking about Rhodiums. So my answer was about CDMA Rhodiums (which are Worldphones).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Take the back off your phone, remove the battery, and look for some lettering under there. It should say "RHODxxx", where the "xxx" are three digits.

RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD300 (and variants) are GSM. RHOD400 and RHOD500 are CDMA.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] jcxtreme30:
Yea only a dual band phone would still have a slot if it has gsm slot its gsm or dual band point blank... Know what your talking about before you speak..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] panda4sale:
can a world phone use these roms?

i just got my touch pro 2 off ebay for $200, new in box, which is a pretty good deal. Anyway I want 2 flash one of these roms. The phone's original company is Telus. This phone's marked RH0D500, it's got a GSM slot but is listed as CDMA... (I'm on at&t) From what I read it seems that this has to be treated as a CDMA phone? r there any cdma roms that will still allow me to get corporate emails and use all the good functions of this phone? Oh if anyone's interested the guy i got it from on ebay has like 5 more, but if they're only going to work with CDMA roms then people should probably not buy them for that reason...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] redpoint73:
As far as I am aware "RHOD00" is not a valid marking. Is that a typo? Or maybe you should look again. It should be RHOD100, RHOD200, RHOD300, RHOD400, RHOD500, and there may be some variants, like RHOD210. But there should be 3 digits after "RHOD" under the battery. Looking around the net, the Telus version should be RHOD500.

All the "CDMA" variants of the Touch Pro 2 actually also have a GSM radio as well (and therefore a SIM slot) since they are intended for "World" use (international travel). This is because CDMA alone is nearly useless for foreign travel, since most countries outside of North America use GSM. So the presence of a SIM slot will not tell you whether its GSM or CDMA.

For the purposes of these forums, the versions of the TP2 that are CDMA/GSM are considered "CDMA" and can only flash the CDMA ROMs. Phones that are solely GSM radio should only be flashed with GSM ROMs. Flashing a GSM ROM to a CDMA/GSM Rhodium will render it inoperative.

The Telus version of the TP2 looks to have the correct GSM bands (850 and 1900 MHz) to work on ATT. But the phone will need to be SIM unlocked, if it isn't already. If you Google around, you will find some posts on the net (and probably on here too), where people have gotten the CDMA/GSM versions to work on AT&T and T-Mobile, so it should work (if SIM unlocked). But it appears you will only have EDGE data speed, not 3G, since the HSDPA/UMTS radios seem to be missing from the Telus version, based on looking at the phone's specs.

You would have been better off buying the ATT version of the phone, the Tilt2. Its the only version that has the necessary hardware to get 3G data speeds on the ATT network. And you should completely understand all the specs before you buy any phone that isn't from your carrier.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] panda4sale:
Yea it's RH0D500, it figures it would only get edge. I got it because the price was really good for a n.i.b. tp2 and I love the keyboard. Do you know if any CDMA roms would allow pop3 .com email setup on this phone?

Did I just get scolded at? lol :eek:

thanks 4 the advice btw!

I recently tried Flashing a new Radio rom with Flashaholic RUU on my HTC HD2- TmobileUS.Once it got done it showed me that the process was successful but it stays stuck on the white HTC screen.I can still acess the bootloader screen and i'm still able too acess the bootloader screen. its just i'm stuck on what to do next thanks. Can anyone assit me in fixing this issue? Thanks

HTC HD2.

ORIGINAL radio Rom 2.10.50
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
does that mean you have just flashed the 2.10.50 or it was 2.10.50 before you flashed, and if so what did you just flash? full filename please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechPadawan12:
Sorry about that. The original ROM Was 2.10.50.28 before I flashed, the ROM I was trying to Flash was 2.12.50.02.2
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
hmm, no clue there. hard reset yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechPadawan12:
Yes I tried a hard reset but it still stuck on the white screen. I'm think Flashaholic RUU deleted the original rom but after running Task 29 the RUU didn't update the ROM and i think thats why its stuck on the white screen not quite sure about that hypothesis.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
oh, you used task29. then there is no OS to boot. task29 has removed win mo.

you need to enter bootloader and flash a rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Wizardries:
Does anyone know of any upcoming HTC devices with at least a 5" screen?

With the HD3 with rumoured 4.5" screen turning into the HD7 with same dimensions as my current HD2 I'm hoping there will be another device with a larger screen. Have heard a couple of rumours that there will be a droid incredible update with 5" screen but nothing substantial.

Would prefer to hear there's a windows platform based device coming soon.
[EVO 4G General] tsluder8:
I am having major issues with my phone charging lately. No new apps installed within the last 3 months, nothing constantly running, no widgets. My phone will not charge over 60%, and when/if it does it dies within 2-3 hours. My battery health states "good"...anyone else having this issue? Is the battery just fried and that "good" status is not very accurate? :confused:

I've had it off and charging for 5 hours today, when I turned it on it was at 8%
[EVO 4G General] Sporkman:
take it to the sprint store and tell them you need a new battery or order 2 + wall charger off ebay for 10$
[EVO 4G General] om4:
definitely a problem with battery, you could still try charging till it reads full, then wait about 5min then charge again, if it charges longer then 30min, then something is really screwed up with the battery stats and you could either use an external charger which may not help or force charge the battery while phone is off, if the battery is stating good health, sprint may not exchange it, ive had a few sprint people give me problems about batteries before, it is definitely easier to try and exchange first
[EVO 4G General] tsluder8:
thanks for the input guys. I've just cleared the battery stats and left it on for hours, it is finally up to 44%

25 bucks from Gomadic.com. It clamps to the handlebars nicely and is very secure. The holder holds the phone very very securely too i could barely pull it out of there if i really wanted to. Its very adjustable and swivels for horizontal and vertical placement.

Took it for a test ride today for about a half hour hit the highway and at 120 the thing was solid! Wasnt gonna budge. Got home and it was still solid and didnt loosen up or anything. Not bad for 25 bucks.

Also got a vent mount for my car so i can take the holder from bike to car by just snapping it on and off.

I'll post some pics of that tomorrow in "the perfect car mount" thread.

[Android Software Development] GizmoDroid:
Basically, I'd like to get the ball rolling with making a low cost (Free, Open Source would be best) IR Universal Remote application for the Android Platform.

I wrote up this wiki to help establish current info:

Slatedroid Wiki - Adding IR output to Android Devices

Please see the wiki for all the details, but essentially, the hardware involved is trivial. As far as coding, the following needs to be written or ported from other projects:

A GUI to manage the buttons and selection of devices

A parsing function to read info from pre-made remote control code text files

An audio signal/waveform generator

A database to store the information

All of this stuff has been done before, it's just a matter of bringing it all together into one android-based project.

If the project really took off, future development might include:

Support of LIRC, Pronto, CCF, and/or other IR remote file protocols

Integrated controlling of WiFi and Bluetooth devices

A pre-parsed central database stored "on the cloud" for all major devices

Possibly supporting the "learning" of a new device (would need a IR sensor/decoder attached to microphone input)

Feel free to discuss, correct any errors, bounce new ideas around, etc.
[Android Software Development] britoso:
With google tv most of plumbing code and the UI will be available, albeit for a small set of machines and via bluetooth. (google remote)
[Android Software Development] player911:
They used to do this actually.

I remember a long time ago, it was with remote software. It would store the IR signals as WAV files recorded via a 3.5mm headphone IR sensor.

I think you could even make one. All you need to receive and send IR signals is a audio recorder/player. Map certain software buttons to each audio file to make a "Remote Controller" type of device".

Edit:
[Android Software Development] GizmoDroid:
Yes, all that info is already in the wiki. It's been done a million times, which makes me wonder why there is no one around with an android version yet.

Google TV will be WiFi controlled though, not IR, right? If the source code for the gui was available, that would be a good start.

[Android Software Development] alleyezondisromo:
im just curious as i cant find it in the market, and cant seem to find a post on xda that relates to this question
[G2 and Desire Z General] charlieton:
massive props to:

mcp2009 (providing the gscripts)(original post)

coolbho3000 (figuring this all out)

everyone else (for being awesome)

From Market download

gscript

linpack

quadrant

visionary

setcpu (this is $1.99)(also by buying this you are supporting coolbho3000)

Note: If at any time you see a pop-up asking for super user permission click allow and remember

on your phone goto settings -> applications -> development

and then check ON USB debugging

run visionary(if you want, click the button once so it says "run on boot" and it's green. )

let visionary do its thing

It should run, screen flicker, run and then close automatically.

on your phone, start gscript and then close gscript using the back arrow.

download the 3 files:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/36553/vision_oc.ko

http://filevo.com/8uyu7e66z3uw.html (cpoc.zip)

http://filevo.com/19eh5t055ezi.html (oc.zip)

unzip both cpoc.zip and oc.zip and copy them to the gscript folder on your sdcard.

copy vision_oc.ko to the root of your sdcard (not in any folder)

run linpack and run benchmark (write down MFLOPS #)

run quadrant and run a full benchmark. (write down score)

# optional run setcpu to see stock speed (should be 806MHz)

Run gscript -> press menu -> add script -> load file. select a file, make sure "Needs SU" is checked and then click save. do this for all four of the .sh scripts.

After adding the scripts, click the cpoc script. when it says autoclosing in ## seconds, go ahead and click close.

Then click oc. again click close when it says autoclosing. this OC script overclocks to 1GHz.

Close gscript and run linpack/quadrant/setcpu to see the different scores. write them down if you want.

start gscript again, run the noreboot script. close when autoclosing. then run the oshitttt script. which overclocks to 1.42GHz.

always use the noreboot script before changing oc or oshitttt script.

close gscript and run the benchmarks again and be blown away.

if you want to try different speeds, start gscript and long press oshitttt script -> click edit. the number at the end "=74" is the multiplier to change the clock speed. some users have tested and feel that 74 is the ideal number. others are getting away with 79, 80, etc. some can't go past 65.

rebooting the phone makes it go back to stock. to apply again just run visionary (if you haven't set it to run on boot), open gscript and run oc or oshitttt.

I use a script to go back to default

rmmod vision_oc.ko

I can't seem to push past 73 so my max stable is at 72. 1382MHz.

My scripts are for 1GHz Overclock, Upgrade to 1.2Ghz, Upgrade to 1.3GHz(1305Mhz), Upgrade to 1.38GHz MAX, and Reset to 800MHz(see code above).

You have to run VISIONary everytime you reboot(or set it to run at boot) and then run the script to overclock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChazzMichaelMichaels:
Not to try and thread crap here, but is there a compelling reason to overclock? Especially that far?

I'm curious to know what software you might be running that is benefiting from that besides a benchmark app. I'm sure you'll get an obscene Quandrant score with that (any 2500's yet?). :)

I've been thinking about getting setCPU, but to underclock, ha ha.

Understand that concept, I've been overclocking my PC's for years. Some hardware's just better at it than others. Quadrant did seem very stable, best I could do was 2395 before downclocking to 1Ghz. I have to admit, the phone's already stupid fast already, even before the overclocking.

[G2 and Desire Z General] funkadesi:
hows the battery life affected for daily use?

I presume since you are overclocking the chip 600 MHz+ above stock.... battery should be affected by that in terms of life.

Oh!! that's what was causing it.

Now with a profile set for when the screen is off to limit the scaling it hasn't done it yet. Hope it stays that way...

[G2 and Desire Z General] KShatzkes:
Go into GScript, Menu -> Add Script. Name it whatever you want, have SU checked, and put this in the script box:

insmod /data/local/vision_oc.ko pll2_l_val=63

That will get you to a 1209.6 MHz Overclock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sinistersai4d4d:
cool thnx!
[G2 and Desire Z General] wilnotdie:
As far as battery/power goes, you can also run KingKlick's conservative module

Its basically the same instructions.

copy his module to your data/local

and then

insmod /data/local/(his module).ko

and you should be good to go. Running them both at same time helps me alot....just dont forget to change your SetCPU settings to conservative.

Have fun!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rockgod:
Not sure if I'm missing something, but I followed all the directions in the OP and it works, but only for about 10 minutes.

I overclock using oc.sh and check with SetCPU and it shows the OC. I run tests and they are considerably faster, however, after a few minutes back to stock clock speeds. could it be something to do with the screen going to sleep. I noticed as I am using the phone it seems to stick, but if I put it down and let the screen sleep it reverts back to stock speeds.

I'm new to this whole android sceen so humor me please. Just upgraded myself from that garmin phone (don't luagh, it was a fathers day gift).

Just want to know if I'm been a dumb arse.

also, I have it temp rooted and for the record my phone freezes up using the o**** speed (I know every phone won't be able to handle that speed)
