Hey guys
I am wondering in plain english what difference there is? obviously in my eyes the more memory the more responsive,
but im not just talking about speed, are there differences in stability?
Also what rom would you advise that uses the 576mb hack?
Regards
I may be talking out of turn...
Just spent last few days trying different combos of roms...
whilst the customised 576mb roms have latest and greatest features, here in the UK on Vodafone Network, having to use any 2.xx.50.xx radio leaves me with awful call quality...
Love the ROMS and their features, but not at the cost of a useable telephone.
My advice is unless your device is a native 576mb, it really isnt worth the drop in useability as a telephone.
I have been through all the .50. radios, i've tried the wavedev.dll fix... all make slightest of differences...
Back on a .51. radio... the difference is undeniably obvious...
Just my two cents... thanks for letting me get that out
strange im using one of the .50 radios now, and my call quality is fine, i mean compared to the stock i dont notice a massive massive amount of call quality difference, noticable but not too much.
im currently just reading through all the different roms to see which would suite my needs, i need stability, i cant be doing with reboots all the time, but then i love the looks of some of the custom roms
hmmm decisions!
just try some custom roms... u will find one that suites best... bet u will get flash addict!

Already am, with my old HTC Desire i must have changed roms 3 times a week, well until i found a rom i loved anyway.
Quick question (for some reason when i use the search funtion on my works laptop it fails miserably and times out)
Is there anyway to install a custom rom from the SD Card?
Ive not had a problem using a .50 radio in the uk..... I think they just dont like vodaphone, Ive seen a few people complaining about it....
If anything my signal is better than before.....

copy the nbh file to sd card and rename it leoimg.nbh
go into bootloader and it should find teh image and flash it. If it doesnt, then try formatting teh card to fat32, and if it STILl doesnt find it, chances are you have a 8gb or 16gb card, which can be hit and miss.
as for searching, rather than teh built in search function, which is mediocre at best, bookmark and use THIS google advanced search page, and start your search with
+hd2 +leo yoursearchhere

Many thanks for the info pal, much appreciated, i have a sneeky suspision that work has for some reason blocked search engines as Bing is now also not working, may just be an issue down at our london office, right im off to try duttys rom, it looks pretty darn good!
You guys may well be right about vodafone.. and .50. roms with 576Mb, if it is any help to another vodafone user to avoid the trawling and testing of roms i have done...
I don't remember having issues with call quality and .50 radios before the 576Mb versions came out.
In my tests with Energy and CleanX Ultimate ROMS 2.10.50.19_2 was the one with least static and hiss, still very poor call quality tho.
If anyone manages to get sensible call quality on .50. radio with a 576Mb ROM on a EU spec phone and vodafone let me know, as i was really enjoying Energy latest ROM.. was why i spent so long testing out the .50. Radios.
Cheers
I've been using the latest max sense energy rom with the 2.12.50.02_2 radio on my UK vodafone. I've had no problems what so ever and the call quality is excellent. It may be an area thing by the sounds of things.
I was wrong!
I was wrong
Listening to what has been written above, i installed radio rom 2.12.50. and still had terrible call quality....
so, tried my PAYG O2 sim (uses same frequencies as Vodafone) and made a call with no crackles or hiss at all!!! With no change in radio or rom, vast improvement... noted that was on 2G signal at that point...
Changed back to vodafone sim, switched to GSM only mode and as if by magic the signal was miraculously better..
At least i am one step closer to nailing the vodafone hiss/crackle between talking... something to do with how the HD2 handles 3G based calls...
I am determined to locate and sort this feature of my HD2....
Wish me luck.

Please note that I do not mean to bash dcd or no2chem. He is the best as he releases kitchens and makes good roms. His rom is the first one that I tried back in the day.
Difference not much really in terms of functionality except that dcd's 2.2.x doesn't work correctly and nueROM does.
Looks DCD wins He has a much better looking rom with themes and better dialer and calculator skins.
Extra stuff nueROM has additional tools that allow you to adjust volume, enable extended rom, and update over the air. Also nueROM includes ringtones.
In my opinion if dcd were to port the "Extra stuff" (the first three anyway) and get the sd card working there would be no contest. However, just fixing the sd card issue will make choosing a very tough decision.
Just my two cents and also I hope that this helps newbies choose a ROM to use. Currently I would use nueROM but once dcd fixes the sd problems I will use his.

Doesn't no2chem's have the same storage card problems with the nueroms that dcd's have?

No it doesn't.
I have been using no2chem's nueROM and have not had any problems with the sd card. AFAIK he fixed this a long time ago. I do not use encryption though but dcd's doesn't work with or without encryption and no2chem's does so currently nueROM is better functioning it just doesn't look as pretty. (it looks more like the stock rom.)
Well just to keep things in proportion, DCD has said that alot of his ROM was based off of No2chems rom and xip. DCD has made a great complimentary ROM which he tries to offer the things that No2chem offers and then some things that he doesnt ie: MMS (arcroft) different dialer, commgr, and removes the games etc.
No2chem has mentioned that he relies on our support thru paypal etc becuase he spends alot of time on these ROM projects and im sure finacially it can interfere with work, or if he is in between work.
DCD (i think) has less time becuase of his work and therefore doesnt get the opportunity to spend as much time.
No2chem is awsome at the inner workings of our phone and together (no2chem and DCD, and plus there are many others) that put out great Rom's, it just a matter of what your needs are.
DCD im sure will be updating real soon and Im sure, like stated b4 that it will be tuff to decide which to use, but thats a good thing.
Keep up the great work, dcd and no2chem and all other DEV's!!
the ppc community greatly appreciate all u do!
I have tested both rom, I find that no2chem has better GPS reception than dcd rom. Could be driver different. For DCD, i get 4-5 satellite but for no2chem I get 6-8 satellites. It might be just my phone.
no2chem uses a registry hack to enable a-gps this allows for better reception of gps signals.
Yes, I applied the same registry hack to DCD rom but it doesn't seem to work for me. Is anyone else get it work with DCD?
I'm sure I'm running dcd rom 2.2.6 even though I have download different neurom 5047 roms. My sd card has always worked but i have issues running music from the memory card. I'm about to test it again but it has been pretty consistent...I can view information from phone but running is a different story but it may just be me. This issue has happened with GPS today, music and even the new speaker cab.
I've used several roms from both of these guys, and I give hats off to both of them. Strong work! I currently am running dcd's 2.0.0, because I was simply losing too much memory from no2chem's wm6.1 roms. The customization was great, and the responsiveness from the device is very nice with the mw6.1 roms, but the memory leak was just too much for me. dcd's 2.0.0 is the only custom rom (that I know of), other than the leaked sprint, which is wm 6.0
I'm glad to hear that no2check has solved the memory card issues, and I'm sure that dcd's next rom will have the bugs worked out too.
FWIW, I like the way that dcd has choosen to display the clock better than no2chem's style.
i just transferred a song over to my 512 mb card and played through media player. It works! Maybe its my 8 gb that has issue or maybe phone was just glitching at the time. I lost my 8 gb memory card, i'm soo pissed right now, i think it fell under middle console near ebrake hole. Its going to be impossible to find, probably fell out...debating if i should try to find it or order a new one...
Im ready to flash to no2chems but i dont know what to do with the .nbh file or the winrar file... can somebody help me?
I have the latest DCD 2.2.6 Rom and Have absolutely no problem with the sd card. I've ran programs from it, listen to music, installed all of my programs, done hard resets and soft resets and haven't had a single issue with the memory card.

I've tried both ROMS.... I've made custon ROMs from both of them as well.... I've also never had any issue with an SD card with DCD, except 1 time. My opinion on the SD issue is that somehow during the constant reading and writing to it, something gets corrupted during the writes and causes it to freeze. no sure if its FAT issue but i reformatted the card to Fat32 and haven't had any issues since. I kept the same ROM on the phone.... It reboots fine with the card IN the phone now since the reformat... As for No2chems, I liked it as well, cept the mem leak issue. It's been a while since I made one from his ROM but I plan to make one tonight from his new basekit, BTW _ thx No2chem , it harder for me to make a custom rom from No2chems than DCD's but all in all, they BOTH have pros and cons, but BOTH are very good choices....

My guess would be that it's more likely due to a change in time between your other tests in addition to differing cloud cover and/or a slight change in location (indoors this may be a matter of feet). Beyond the leaked Sprint release I don't believe that we've seen any other GPS enabled radio driver. I'd assume that the GPS driver of these ROMs is the same.
Within a half hour I may also notice such a change in satellite reception without any software change on my phone. Be careful against attributing a placebo effect for more likely external causes.
Enabling the A in AGPS is a side issue when the concern is GPS satellites strength. Enabling it offers the potential combination of two separate methods to resolve a location. Enabling the A(ssisted) modes will not increase a unit's resolution of satellites.
When viewing the GPS satellite status within a third party app or the Fieldtrial one sees the signal and timing stats for each satellite to your unit and this GPS function is independent to the additional cell tower assistance modes that may be enabled with the GPSone chipset. A change in settings of the A(ssisted) in AGPS should not affect reception of satellites nor alter the number of visible satellites. A sufficient GPS resolution (3 or more satellites) should always be more precise than an assisted cell tower resolution alone, and negate the need and benefit for such assistance at that time. Two different systems of location resolution that in tandem may increase the dependability of a unit's location, particularly when sufficient satellite reception is spotty or unavailable.

2.2.6 has an even bigger memory leak and the SD card problem will arise for those of you not experiencing, it did for me. I was all so very happy until it started happening. Went back to 2.2.0 I am considering 5047 to bad there isn't one specific for VZW.
I've gone back to 2.2.0 from 2.2.6 due to sdcard failures and intellisync / wireless sync starting to fail as well.
Sure appreciate all the work DCD is putting into this. If you're using his work, donate, he deserves it more then your cell company.
Just upgraded my Titan to the Touch Pro. I see the roms have carriers built-in. Any US Cellular Carrier support working yet? Can a bare rom be made to work on any carrier? Radios? My radio sucks. 1 to 2 bars less than my Titan at home. I read that battery tweaks are mandatory to have a life. Finding it hard to determine which files are best for the model I have with so many models out there, and USCC being so new...
I also just upgraded to the TP from the Titan ... and was also wondering about cooking a rom with USCC support... is this possible yet?
Well, 24 hrs later, and I have some wishes..
the radio on this sucks.. 1.06.07... less bars, bluetooth sucks for speed on redfly.. gps seems ok though.
Battery sucks.
Otherwise, this phone rocks.. love the vga, love the feel of the hardware, love the ram..
still wondering about carriers.. don't want to break the data connection with the wrong rom/carrier... but I am ready to format this sucka.. I know the hardware is good, just in search of the right combo of software to run it right!
I've found that setting no carrier name or setting Alltel seems to work for USCC. I don't post much over here but I post over at the USCC forum on Howardforums a lot.

You mean in the kitchen for ROM cooking?
Who wants to be first to try?
Yep in the Kitchen, if you use a kitchen. If you don't, you can just install the firmware as is and usually you can just set your settings. USCC doesn't use an AKEY or anything like that.
Just make sure, no matter what rom you burn, that you should use the Clear Storage feature after installing the ROM (including the Format NAND Flash) Switch, to make sure that you have a clean workspace.
At the moment I'm using Juicy 7 no problem on my USCC TP.
EDIT: There's nothing really to try, I've already done this several times over, as has several others. Worst case there's a shipped firmware EXE and you can revert back to factory using that and the relocker. You should use 0.37 of SPL and keep your radio factory.
Where can we find the stock rom for uscc?

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer my question!!! When you say use the CLEAR STORAGE feature.. you're talking about the one in the settings/control panel options of the OS/WM?

Yep. That'd be the one.
It's on HTC's website, dated July 7th. I haven't seen any other threads on it, and I wanted to see if anyone else has tried it. I've updated to it myself, and it seems to be an overall improvement over the version I had. There's really nothing much in the notes, though it seems they tweaked quite a bit. Most notably, it's done wonders for my battery life. I used to always come home with a phone that was nearly dead. Now I get home with 60-70% still left on the battery. It could be my imagination, but the phone seems a bit more responsive now as well. If the battery life is anything to go by, it could just be from general optimization of the ROM. Other points of interest... the activesync app is no longer self-launching, and Opera Mobile appears to have had an update as well.

Here's the link: http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=200&act=sd&cat=all
im in the process of doing it know, ill let ya know what i think in a bit
I tried it when it 1st came out, its definitely better than the shipped rom, but its still got all of the bloatware and other b.s. that interferes with performance. IMO, you're still better off with a cooked rom.
ya i honestly cant tell a different between stock rom and this update
Oh yeah, I'm sure a cooked rom is faster. Just thought I'd put the PSA out there. It does seem to address a few issues for my launch version of the ROM.
one of these day ill get around to putting a custom rom on my phone.
thiers just to many and i cant figure out which one i want
stock
if i have already unlocked my phone and running a custom rom and want to flash to this stock rom do i need to do anything different?
No, just flash as you normally do. Every couple of flashes I go back to the stock rom anyway. Probably just the "placebo" effect, but I've convinced myself it helps.
Do it for the Radio

Notation to everyone here this ROM includes an updated radio. 1.12.20F. So that it's self should be worth it. I run NFS rom but I am going to update to this so I can grab the updated radio. I will then jump to his. My radio is currently 1.03.16F. It also has the later PRL and PRI.
I see the in the Radio Thread in this forum that they have the alltel readio without the whole ROM. So if you want go that route. I have just found that doing a stock flash every once in awhile keeps my custom flashing less problematic.
im still having problems as far as radio signal.........and the only reason i don't just upgraded the radio is their is no alltel dump yet
I also get great battery life after the update.

typing this didn't do anything...all i got was call cant be completed as dialed
One very nice discovery I made today (because of how little I actually talk on my TP) is that they've changed the call answer screen a bit. Seems they took a page from Apple's book and changed the answer and ignore buttons into a slider. You slide it all the way left to answer, and right to ignore. Should fix the accidental answer problem I know a lot of people (including myself) have had.
Will this work on Verizon TP? I know i will have to apply keyboard patch but would it work?
Radio should work no problem, especially since alltel and verizon are 1 now.
I dispise Verizon ROM. No YouTube, No Internet Sharing etc... Got it as a insurance replacement when my Alltel TP broke. They said they don't have Alltel TPs anymore.
Please give me the good news... PLEEEAAASE
PS: I already have GPS unlocked using MR1 release from Verizon.

I wouldn't attempt it if I were you. Have you considered trying a custom rom? If you've never done it I could help you through the process. Stock roms SUCK!
Can i ask you if it works in a touch pro un-locked of the vodafone Italy company?
I have an alltel touch pro but my area switched to verizon now, im assuming this won't be a problem because i didn't need to do any update when they switched so im guessing the radio won't be an issue? Really want to do this if it increases battery.
Also will this remove any settings or themes that kind of stuff?
edit nevermind i see it removes everything.
if i take my memory card out before i update can will all the programs that are one it reinstall? and when i put all my backed up data back on the device do the programs reinstall or do i have to do something to reinstall them?
Hi all!
I'm picking up a hopefully gently used Touch Pro tomorrow to replace my HTC Mogul. Very excited to have some extra RAM to work with, as well as the capability to try out all of these great ROMs.
As I have no experience with the Touch Pro, I am hoping you all can tell me what Radio and SPL I will need to begin my journey, and hopefully where to find them!
If you can offer any additional advice about this phone, any tips, tweaks, or general recommendations, I'd be very appreciative.
Thanks in advance!
I forgot to add that I'm going to be on the Sprint network!
Anyone?
I found the unlocking guide above which includes info on obtaining a HardSPL version. I hope this is the best one available.
I have not been able to find any information about updating the radio of the device so it works best with Sprint.
Hopefully someone can shed more light on this for me.

You should have everything you need on my guide. As far as radio, what you could do is after unlocking the device, flash a Sprint stock rom (the latest available), which will likely have the latest radio that Sprint released as well. Once you have flashed this package, simply flash another rom (whichever one you like) on top. The radio will remain the same and only your rom will change. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find more for our device on another popular forum. It seems that XDA has more of a GSM focus for the Touch Pro. I appreciate your guide as it has helped me expand my knowledge of the device. I feel like I'm all set now.
I did the same thing a few months ago. There is everything you could ever need to unlock and flash to what ever rom you want. After flashing just about every rom here, my problem is that I want to combine about 3 different roms to make the one I want, The only problem is I have no idea how to use a kitchen or build a rom hahahaha.

Glad you were able to find everything you needed. Holler if you need anything else, we here and over at PPCG are always ready to help someone else... Just remember, there will always be nOObs out there and it never hurts to share the knowledge you have received.
Take care man.
EDIT 1: To the post above mine, try PPCKITCHEN.org... if you are not sure how to cook a rom, this kitchen is made for people with little to no experience... Experiment with it, build your own rom with your own options. Just make sure you do the update first...(it takes forever for the update to complete.) There are also other kitchens out there, but this is the one I first started out with. (Sorry for advertising other sites...)

There are a LOT of issues with the rom kitchen for the Herman in PPCK. A lot of reports of roms simply getting stuck at the initial boot-screen. You can try Ervius or one of the newer Visual Kitchens. Good luck!

the pro is a good phone as long as you have a good rom.
i am currently using the new xxxRootRom which can be found on the ppcgeeks.com forums. i have tested about 6 - 8 different roms so far and found this one to be very stable and snappy.
maybe try a few so you can compare.
only thing i would recommend is to change the pagepool on the xxxrootrom because for some reason it was set to 6. change the value to 0 and you will be very happy with it.
hope that help.
New to Touch Pro (former Mogul User) - Many Issues - Verizon
I just got a new Touch Pro from Asurion as an insurance replacement to XV6800. I am not new to these forums and have, over the years, applied many hacks and flashed many ROMS to my Mogul.
I'm currently using the stock ROM from Vzn (full device details in my sig) but I'm experiencing too many issues to address in a single post perhaps, and I researched and tried many solutions for hours. My biggest issue is Bluetooth related.
I am using the Bluespoon Spider stereo headset which worked great on Mogul. On TP I cannot get any settings to not cause skips and lags on locally stored music playback. I use both Adv Config 3.3 and Total Commander to adjust bitpool Min/Max bitpool. sample rate, & audio gateway settings. The best I've gotten is clear, mostly uninterupted music with the TP sitting in my lap, BUT if I turn my head to the right (the AVRP controls are in the right earpiece) I get serious skips & lags. I used to go about 100 ft clearsight from my Mogul before experiencing drops! Now with TP a matter of inches and my own head blocks the signal?
Anyone else experince this issue? What are you best results with BT seeings? I remember dumping M$ Bluetooth Stack for Widcomm's on Mogul and that made all the difference - can I / should swap out stacks on the TP? My headset won't even properly coonect, I must continually choose "set as wireless stereo" each time I turn on BT.
As for players, Ive used WMP, HTC player and S2P all with the same poor results. I hate that with TouchFlo 3D off, WMP insists on opening and assuming control of AVRP (play/pause/next) features. I tried one hack to break that and it nearly bricked my phone and it caused my SD card to become unreadable AND unformattable. I'll address that in the proper forum
I was so psyched about getting the Touch Pro, but I think I'm gonna have to cook the pants of the stock ROM. Any help with my bluetooth issue woud be greatly appreciated.
Hi all,
in all the ROM-threads we talk about the different radio-versions. As call quality has been THE major issue on our device I decided to make up a new thread only for radio. Hope it is ok..
I`m using Novembre5 german rom #1 with radio 5005.1600.05. The complaints about" I can´t hear you..." seem to increase in comparison to the official toshiba Swiss ROM I used before. I`m using german vodafone network, dk if its important.
Maybe we can compare our experiences with the different radios to help our great cooks to implement the"perfekt" radio for our TG01..
THX to all
DubRas
I guess it will depend were you are. I have tried most of the roms that had been posted here. For the purpose of testing the call quality I spent about two hours trying the roms. The original problem I had with this is the person the other end sometimes can not here me properly. A problem I did not have since I upgraded to the official toshiba rom 6.5.0. When I had november's 6.5.5 rom running to my surprise i had a worst call quality, the qualityon both sides was bad. So I tested the different roms and as a result the radio from the official toshiba upgrade is the best one for me. I am in the UK so it might be a different case with other people on other country.
And just a note the radio version that everyone is using now is originaly release for china so it might not be design for other countrys network. I guess!
Also I have posted this in a couple of threads and aragon said that he can do a tool to easily change the radio on roms. I hope it materials. so thubs up from me.
Just to add. Im using aragon's TG01 Debranded Orange UK - 6.5.0 ROM v0.010 which works perfect for me at the moment. loads of space for program and ram after installing all my apps especially for call quality issue.
Big up.. to aragon
so maybe we, the "european" users, should vote for an 6.5.5-ROM with the official UK-Radio. Or, if aragon gets an "easy-radio-update-tool" to work, we might be able to do it ourselves...
It seems that FFBOY radio layer is better, that what I can see, but it's not easy, because all ROM works well, with some diffenreces.... No need of SRSWOW with ffboy's ROM.

I'm from Romania this means from Europe here only work the latest Hong Kong radio driver 5005.1600.05 the other one from official UK keep getting problems in call quality.
Do i get that right: there seems to be no easy answer to the question: which is the best radio? Cant believe it, but my technical knowledge is maybe much too low for that. The "Easy-radio-update-tool" might be a possibility for every single user to find the radio that works best for him and in his country/network. So hopefully a tool like that will appear sometime in the future.
im using the newest offical tosh 6.5 update cooked with the
5005.1600.05 radio by aragon this has drastically improved my sound quality i no longer need srswow plus as it the offical rom there is not bugs ect

Strange. I've been using ffboy's Sense Rom with 5005.1600.05 radio and my call quality is worse. Loads of people here are saying it was better for them. Mind you, it was the same story with the original 6.5 update. Loss of people had problems, but others swore blind that it was perfect for them, with some even suggesting that we must have had a bad batch with a unique hardware fault. I think it's fair to say I ruled that out. I've had 8, some of them refurbs, but the last two were brand new replacements. They were all the same for me. A couple of people suggested it was more to do with varying quality in beteen gsm or 3g areas of network coverage.
One thing I noticed that helped sometimes was to change the volume slider up or down and for some strange reason, the other caller would say that it was better, but then it would get bad again after a few minutes. I once tried dialing my own number and leaving a message on my own voicemail to see what was happening and I discovered that the sound started breaking up particularly at the point when the screen turns off shortly after the start of the call. Anyone else noticed that?
Confused.
Like some others, I found the latest UK Toshiba update to be the best for me so far, although not prefect.
Has anyone had problems with 5005.1700.05?
i had big problems with the 1700 radio. So i had to go back on a rom with a 1600 radio.
I tried 1600 radio version it is not that good. My friend can hear heavy echoing and the time for phone to response is too slow(in my case 20 secs later). WM6.1 has much better radio quality.
I used Japanese version of tg01, when flashed Uk rom radio dont changed, how to change radio for this version ? plz help me, this radio version is really suck (sorry my bad english)

No frequency related, those(&many others) are radio software versions (generally fitted to certain ROM versions, depending on country?!), so far nobody knows precisely differences between them...
