Sorry but I can not help you with the black keyboard/dailer you want as I have not seen one cor the HD2 but I am sure there is a way to get one. Maybe another member here can help you with this. But to get more quick links you have two ways to acheive this.one go to "REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* - Updated 27th January 2011." and check out #22. Or you can go to "[Manila Mod][19-Jun-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab v1.8.5" and download and install Cookies Home Tab v1.8.5.1. Trust me you will love it. But to make Cookies Home Tab complete you will also want to download and install CHTEditor v1.8.5 also. Go to "[APP] CHTEditor v1.8.5.1 [UPDATE 19-JUN-2010]" to download and install this. Once again you will be glad you got this.

Hope this helps you out and I hope someone can help you with your black keyboard/dailer.

@t-mcgnolia

hi t-mcgnolia,

thanks very much for your tip the previous post. as u said i installed the cookie home tab and the editor as well. worked great and loved it. but a small problem has come up. within the first 24 hours phone got stuck 3 times. twice i had to remove the battery and restart the phone. once the message popped up saying "unable to open the cht editor". could you pls help me out here?

thanks
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I had the same problem with Cookies Home Tab when I first insatalled it. To be honest the only thing that I found that helped is if I did not mess with the lock screen settings none and also don't have more than two or three apps running at anytime. I try to only have two apps running at any given time, but that is just me. Also play around with other settings as it might be one of the settings you set with the CHTEditor that is not playing so nice with your phone.

Great information, thanks!
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
I am having difficulty connecting to a wireless hotspot that requires accepting terms and conditions. On a laptop at these locations in the past it would just redirect to their web site, I would browse their T & C, and click OK, and I was browsing.

With my HD2 it took a lot of playing around (connecting, disconnecting, trying to browse with Opera, and IE. With IE, it finally connected and let me click OK, but then stopped letting me browse; I even went back to the page with the T & C, but it wouldn't let me browse and I gave up).

Is there a good way to get through all that, and keep browsing?
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
OK, other than the wifi hotspots, I have another question.

I am trying to use my HD2 to take notes. I cannot take them fast enough with the keyboard, so I found Transcriber, which works just fine.

The problem I am having, is the use of a stylus. I tried using my finger, but that does not work too well, they are just too big.

I read a little about using a stylus, but have not found favorable reviews.

Is anyone else using Transcriber, or something similar, what are you using to write with:confused:?

Or, if anyone is using a stylus, which are you having good luck with:confused:?
[HD2 General] HairyPete:
I used to use transcriber on older phones with stylus, but now with the HD2 I use swype. It's keyboard based but at least 5 times faster for me and close to handwriting speed. Just google swype
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Or just touch on the little triangle thing beside the keyboard symbol at the bottom of the keyboard and select Swype in the pop up menu. It has a short tutorial video there for it too.

how do i uprage from mjd 2.1 to latest mjd rom for hd2

please help.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I will give you both methods as I do not know if you use MAGLDR or cLK.

For MAGLDR

Fist download the update for the ROM from the mjd thread. Boot into MAGLDR and choose option #4 USB Mass Strg connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer and copy the .zip file the root of your SD card. Next choose option #2 AD SD or option #8 AD Recovery, which ever one you have to use to boot into CWM Recovery. Then go to Backup and Restore in CWM then select backup this will make a Nandroid backup for you. When the backup is done, press back to go back to the main menu of CWM. Go to install zip from sdcard. Select choose zip from sdcard and then scroll through to find the zip file you just copied to your SD card. when it is done installing the updated ROM press the back button again to go to the main menu of CWM. go to Backup and Restore then select Restore then select Advanced Restore and restore your data and cache(do not restore system and boot). Press the back button again to go to the main menu of CWM and select reboot system now and just let your HD2 boot back into your updated ROM.

For cLK

Download the update from the mjd thread. Boot into recovery by holding the home button down while powering on your HD2. Go to Mounts and storage and then select Mount USB Storage and connect your HD2 via USB to your computer. Copy the .zip file to your SD card. Then go to Backup and Restore in CWM then select backup this will make a Nandroid backup for you. When the backup is done, press back to go back to the main menu of CWM. Go to install zip from sdcard. Select choose zip from sdcard and then scroll through to find the zip file you just copied to your SD card. when it is done installing the updated ROM press the back button again to go to the main menu of CWM. go to Backup and Restore then select Restore then select Advanced Restore and restore your data and cache(do not restore system and boot). Press the back button again to go to the main menu of CWM and select reboot system now and just let your HD2 boot back into your updated ROM.

Hope this answers your question.

Launchpad setting

Hi guys,

I recently installed Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my HTC HD2. I somehow changed to launchpad to LaunchPadPro. I would like to go back to the ADW Launcher (which comes default with the OS), but was unable to find how to set the launchpad...:mad: Can someone help me with this?? I am pretty much a novice at this and your help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Pavan
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
I have the E on mine, but it looks weird now:

What is it shaded for?

Also, when it shows up on the top bar, does that mean it detects that connection available?

I actually don't have a data plan on my HD2 yet, and have data disabled (which may be the shaded part?).

Display

Hi, I have an interesting question about my phone (HD2) and different ROMs (one with Android and one WM 6.5 -stock rom.)

I made a test with different ROMs , brightness set to 50%, airplane mode all data off , no running apps ...

DISPLAY ON WHOLE TIME

HD2 running NAND Android 2.3 : from 100% to 0% --- lasts about 3,5 hour.

HD2 running stock WM6.5 : from 100% to 0% --- lasts about 7 hours !!

So here is my question : WHY lasts the battery twice as long on WM?

I know if it runs android that it's more power demanding but I didnt run anything, I was on airplane mode and the display consumption on Android was about 97% so why did the display sucked much more juice on android than WM?

thanks for answers

Android Launcher

go to settings -> apps -> manage apps -> all apps -> select launcher and clear defaults

Next time you press the home button you should have two options.

thanks for any info
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Dang man that sucks, sorry to hear about you stroke of bad luck there.

Sad to say bit if it will not go to bootloader it is bricked. The only fix for it is JTAG or maybe, and this is a big maybe, you could get it replaced if you still have a warranty. I mean you were installing a official ROM and it is not your fault the stupid power went out. If you don't have a warranty are can not get it replaced through warranty PM me and I will hook you up with a proper tech that can JTAG it for you, and by the way he lives in the states so no sending your HD2 out of country.
[HD2 General] mlkjuggalo:
thanks for the info sucks that its bricked i will see what t-mobile says if no luck with them i will PM you

how do you download and install android on hd2? Im very new to this...
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
First click on my guide I have linked in my sig and read it all the way through. Next go back to the top of post #1 of my guide and click on the links I have for guides on how to install NAND Android on the HD2. If you want to run android from SD card go to here. Go to to here to find a SD card Android build, and go to here to find a NAND Android ROM. Any other links you need for say HSPL, MAGLDR (or cLK but cLK is for advanced users), or Clockwork Mod Recovery is in my guide.

So, I looked at the gps on my HD2, and when I don't haves a data connection, is there some app I can use?
[HD2 General] happyhallsy8:
Yeam mate there are many apps available in the market to download that come with pre installed apps so you don't have to download data on the run.

Sygic Aura is one

Navigon etc.

you should be able to type in navigation into market and have a look through some of the results.
[HD2 General] happyhallsy8:
If your with Three in Australia you may have gone out of the 3G/HSDPA network coverage.

They do this so you can gain better voice call coverage.

It may be grayed because you either have no data plan but access to the network.

Or because you have roamed to the network that provides access to other services other than data.

You can disable this on a HD2 by selecting WCDMA Only under the:

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wireless Network Settings -> Network Mode

Or you can still roam and avoid high data costs by going to:

Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Wireless Network Settings

and disabling data while roaming
[HD2 General] uzziah0:
Anyone else have ideas about good GPS/Navigation software for the HD2 (I want it to work without depending on a data connection).

Sygic Aura = 30 EUR

Navigon = $90 US

If you want to see just how easy... here is a great video posted on the Hyperdroid CM7 and HyperdroidGBX ROM pages. Shows just how easy and the steps needed to flash a NAND ROM.

[HD2 General] Aristotelian:
Sorry for the double post: I posted this in the guide thread but I'll edit it out because I don't think that thread is meant for Q&A. Apologies, I'm new here.

Hi everyone.

Long story short:

My boss gave me his htc hd2 and asked me to put android on it.

I followed the radio, HSPL, MAGLDR method, loaded one of the basic Android NAND roms from this forum, and Android worked!

Because I wanted to impress him with a smooth aesthetic finish, I posted in another thread regarding the MAGLDR boot period, and asked if there was a way to have one boot animation. I was told to check out another thread for the cLK method, which allows a user to choose an actual Android boot animation for the phone (with no loading text or anything).

I flashed cLK and the phone reset, bringing up the following text:

codesmith's LK (CLK) v1.4

(snip)

[800] STALL GET_DESCRIPTOR 128 6 1006 0 18

Nothing happened for a period then, so I thought I should install the google android driver as recommended in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905060

Windows had searched for Android drivers and I directed the search to the folder where I extracted the google usb drivers. Windows rebooted and text on the phone appeared as follows:

[110220] -- suspend --

reset, portchange, reset, portchange many times, until

[1178300] fastboot: processing commands

Nothing is happening. The cLK installation guide doesn't mention anything like this.

Should I have removed MAGLDR before flashing cLK? Can any of you please help me out with this? I'm happy to buy beer for helpful individuals and I'm in a rather desperate situation where I need to get this done by tomorrow morning. So, since you're helping me with my work, I'm happy to pay.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Hey Aristotelian, thanks for trying to follow the forum rules, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that. But my guide thread is is open to Q&A's.

When you got the "fastboot: processing commands" then you had to flash Clockwork Mod Recovery, then you can flash the ROM. You did nothing wrong, you actually did everything right. You just need to get back to that point again and flash CWM and then flash your ROM via CWM. Go back to my guide and read it as I have instructions on how to flash CWM via fastboot commands. Plus I havd a link to a guide with screen shots and everything.
[HD2 General] Aristotelian:
Thank you very much for your help. I followed the guide regarding the process, and when I typed "fastboot erase recovery" I received the following error message and cannot continue:

"The application failed to start because AdbWinAPI.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

I downloaded the Android SDK, got the tools/driver packages and followed the guide to a T as far as I can tell. Any ideas?
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yeah you will have to tey to reinstall the Android SDK. I suggest uninstalling it then redownload it and reinstall it with the new download. I recently had the same kind of error with another program about not having a. dll file present and this is how I fixed it. Did you click on the link to the guide I have linked in my guide?
[HD2 General] Aristotelian:
I thought that was just a highlighted 'thank you' bit! Okay, so I worked through that guide and now I'm on step 10. The ClockworkMod Recovery section. The guide says to arrow down to "wipe data/factory reset" and click enter "tap the phone button" but when I do that a black hat with an orange arrow shows up and nothing happens until I touch the home key.

The menu reads as it does in the picture in the guide, however where in the guide it says 'ClockworkMod Recovery' halfway down the screen, mine also says:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

And now I'm stuck again. Thanks for your patience. I'm posting these questions here so that perhaps other people who are extremely new to putting Android on the HTC-HD2 will easily be able to find answers to the same questions here, using Google.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Good idea about posting here with your question. Unlike what most people think I know a good bit of people actually use this thread. Sorry for the late post too but my new job is very labor intense, so I am fatigued when I get home. Resulting in my being online less now then before.

I will be honest when you say........

I really do not what all of that means, I am not a dev really although I did make a custom ROM for my ole lady's Motorola CliQ (I know POS). I do consider myself a very well informed user that has done his research.

If step ten is giving you trouble you can actually skip that step. Now before anyone says "I disagree you should do a wipe of the wipe data/factory reset". Yes I agree totally if you are coming from a different android ROM. But the OP, member Aristotelian, has not flashed a Android ROM yet so there shouild be no adverse effects from not doing one. There is nothing there it is a fresh install.

Or you can try to re flash CWM, but I would just go ahead to step 11 which is where you install your ROM. Then go to Android Market, do a search for 'ROM Manager' and install the free version, or the paid one if you like. Open ROM Manager and then touch on Flash ClockWork Mod Recovery, then select HTC HD2 from the list of devices and let it flash the most recent version of CWM, it is 3.1.0.0 right now.

After you have re flashed CWM. then you can do a wipe data/factory reset i8f you like before you have done anything else if you like.
[HD2 General] Aristotelian:
I finally got step 10 to work but when I tried to load through USB I got yet another error message. I just got home from work, and tried to flash MAGLDR V.1.13 and then just go back to the previous ROM I was using (with the inelegant boot animation, but whatever).

Now when I try to get into MAGLDR (holding down the power button) this is what it shows (and I don't have the option of flashing another ROM as I should):

Booting Android from NAND

ANDROID LOAD at 11800000

And it halts there.

Is there any way I can just wipe the phone in its entirety, then reflash HSPL and MAGLDR and go through the process that I had first done (which seems much simpler in hindsight?)
[HD2 General] malybru:

[HD2 General] Aristotelian:
Thanks a lot! Well, it's back to the way it was before. It appears it is lacking permission to use the SD card (which a Google search indicates means I need to format the SD card), and other than that - it works!

I'm a bit irked that I couldn't get the CLK method to work but I'll save that for my next phone and not my boss'!

A round of beers are definitely on me. Thanks to the community, and T-Macgnolia for having the patience to respond to my questions.
[HD2 General] malybru:
I think that your idea was sound with the animation etc.

Maybe with a bit more time,and no pressure from the BOSS,you would have succeeded.

I agree with malybru, you probably would have gotten it if you had the time and no boss pressuring you. Youvare more than welcome I enjoy helping others. I just wish I would have been abale to post more frequent, orcwhen you were online so I maybe could have been more help to you.

In my HD2 on that page:

Phone - +telephone number - which is grey.

the bottom tab is 'Phone' and the main topic is 'Sounds' and it deals ringtones and keypad sounds.

If that is the page and +telephone number is what you want to change, then that is the phone number stored on the SIM. The only way you can change that is to change the SIM card.

[HD2 General] alif1994:
thx

this help me a lot...TYVM!!
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
No because you have to flash HSPL 2.08 before you can flash MAGLDR. And you have to flash HSPL via a computer. Sorry, but I tell you what go check out the HD2 NAND Toolkit, I think you will find it useful as it is a all in one tool that you install to your computer to install HSPL, MAGLDR, cLK, any .nbh or bh file, and CWM for both MAGLDR and cLK.
[HD2 General] raven_raven:
You can't install Android in NAND. But you can run it from SD Card, simply download one build from XDA (try this one, it's great: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=870518), unzip contents and run CLRCAD.exe and HaRET.exe. It should be possible with only a HD2 with WM :).

hi

Hi Just saying hello lol,

and that the hd is an amazing phone :)

i use to upgrade all the time but then i bought the hd2 and was like wow

had it over a year it still does everything i want.

And the rom development is awesome i love andriod on it.

Im a programmer so have a play aswell :D.
[HD2 General] 11PCX:
newbie here...

Hello all. Just bought the HD2 here recently and I have to say I love this phone. For it to be slightly older, it must have been way ahead of its time when it was released because I would choose this phone over any of the current Androids. I was looking for an Android HTC but was not liking the fact that all new Android phones look exactly alike with the same cookie cutter 4 white buttons at the bottom. Anyhow I got a great deal on a mint phone with the box and all accessories plus a Defender case on the phone with the screen protector removed plus a brand new in the package Defender case. I'm about to replace the Defender with a Zagg Invisible Shield though as the Otterbox is quite bulky.

About my phone specifically, I am extremely impressed about the way it sits right now other than the fact I cant find a GPS, but other than that I am going to post the specs and maybe someone in the know can look at this and tell me if there's anything obvious that I should upgrade right now. I've only had this phone a few days so I'm still in the first stages of educating myself about all of these mods which is rather daunting considering how in depth it is. Back to the phone though this is what I have:

Android 2.3.4

Kernel 2.6.32.15_tytung_r10-gbcfeaac

Mod CyanogenMod-7-05122011 Desire[Typhoon_v3.2.6-MAGDLR

Build GRJ22

Also if someone could give me the basics as far as the GPS. From what I have read so far you need the GPS libraries I think but I've also read that some of the GPS's take a while to find the sats, so is the whole GPS thing still a work in progress or can you get one running smoothly now with the right download?

Thanks in advance!:)
[HD2 General] fred_up:
Hi 11PCX,

I would suggest you go to the thread where you downloaded the Android ROM from and read for info about GPS problems and solutions.
