man it has been so long since , htc tool the effort to put an update to the htc hd2,
all the official firmware are on 6.5, whereas Microsoft has released software OS till 6.5.5
if the releases an update it may get the reputation it deserves,
some problem i facing with the device are
1) win 6.5 sux
2) keyboard is a crap to text, get off with the arrow keys
3) music player is crap, cant handle the library when 8 gb of songs are put in the card
4) sms application hangs, when lots of sms are there
5) slight pink issues in camera is minutely present
by the way love the fone otherwise, using android has solved all my above mentioned problem with the phone
1)android is battery consuming
2) screen freezes a lot..
well better would be , if htc ported window phone 7 on hd2,, would be awesome, i like to stick to stock...
ONE BIG ISSUE
no software by htc to back up the hd2 contact and sms, i find outlook very crappy...
this is the only department where i think nokia is better,
Way you don't simply take a Cooked Rom?
I have WM 6.5.X
I have Lots of application on my device.
I have fore about 12GB of music on my SD, without any problems.
I hate it to delete message, I have all my message I send and received from the very first day on my device (01/01/2010) Fore the moment +/- 700 SMS
+/_ 300 photo's I take with my device on storage card (without pink issues)
and +/- 100 files (PowerPoint/Word/excel/Adobe)
Ow yes, I used my device professionally.
Well all together I must say I don't have problems. but I must be honest I changed my Rom from the very first day I have my device.
So like you see it isn't a problem of device but Rom!!
There are lots of Rom on the market; so way stay with a Rom who don't satisfy you??
Only thing I noticed is that android reacts WAY BETTER then WinMo, and that's a *****, because winmo is our primary OS. I'm using android all the time.
BTW HD2 has standard an option to backup everything! Myphone!!
Also free: pimbackup.
But WP7, forget it, it won't see daylight.

1) I disagree, if you said '6.5.x' I would agree, so I've no advice for you here.
2) Use Swype, or try others
3) TCPMP or Core Player
4) Disable HTC messaging check this thread
5) ---
6) DotFred PIMBackUp. I hated Nokia, I don't have much experience with other OS, but I don't know of another which is so versatile and customisable

hate nokia more than you and you ever can
hey i never said anything about 6.5.x, i was talking about 6.5 ..
and by the way with nokia i was only refering to there pc suite application...
i strongly feel htc is a big enough company to launch there own software for there fones...
and dont you guys think its time htc released a new firmware.
and with MS myphone, yu can only keep it between windows,
ya.... bbobeckyj has just told you what i wanted to tell you..... Install Swype keyboard which is damn fast when type sms! Very Cool software... And also use PIMbackup, you can just 1 click to back up all your data within a sec.
For sms hang, you could update your sms here --> "New SMS Function Update" http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=407
But i would also suggest you to flash a customize ROM that could solve all the problem Try Energy ROM...
Yeah dude, you don't buy a new phone and expect it to work perfectly. You need to tweak install and stuff, and that's what makes it interesting. I like to customize and tweak my phone to the max. And I have none of the issues you have.

i dont have any of these problems.
1. it does definitly not.
2. yes it does, thats why im not using it. go for fingerkeyboard2.1
3. why the hell are u using the standard music player......... -> pocketplayer for me
4. im a extreme sms writer, so i would hate that problem. but anyway, im using winmo for a long time, so i used to the default windows messaging app and disabled the htc messaging (wich really suxx xD) bbobeckyj posted a link how to disable it
5. since latest updates i dont see any pink **** anymore Oo (just realized)
probably it was the camera update i made that i can use the volume buttons as shutter key....
****, u could have solved every problem by just searching the forum.. i remember so many threads about exactly the problems u have
ths man,, using lcg jukebox now,, and yeah disabled sense,, is sort of incomplete,, but phone is lotta faster.....

For SPL 3.5 only.
Thanks for Olipro
Information:
bla-bla-bla.
How about some descriptions and screens for this ROM?
Does it have HTC touchflo? How does its contact application look like? etc.
SPL 3.5 means... WHAT base ROM? AP4, AP3, AP5, IRUS?
WM6 or WM6.1?
Other info?
EDITED
The ROM's name explain something: IRUS rom (settings, about)claims to be the WM6.1 19521.1.1.0 build; from the file name this ROM seems to be the WM6.1 19209.1.0.2 (older build ...). Otherwise sometime rom cookers edit the build numbers ....
Base: wwe ROM from HTC X7510
NK.exe : from ap4
wm6.1 19209 b19209.1.0.2
19521 - fake ROM
I'm going to try this out today, thanks .
Hmm, there is some customization that's missing here, maybe to make it "Ultra Lite". Gotta tweak it to see if I like it or not.
*Update*
Ok, a LOT of this ROM is in Russian, I really don't like the included apps, there are some pirated application on there, HTC X-Button doesn't work at all, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5, you can't customize the menu AT ALL, the scroll bars are thin making it VERY hard to use your finger, it starts using OzVGA, not even RealVGA, HSDPA is disabled by default...The only thing I like about this ROM so far, is that my MobileTalk application actually works, and that I can run Garmin again due to the larger RAM size. I will wait for AP5 vanilla before I flash again, or I'll try AP4, as at least that works with my MobileTalk program.
*Update 2*
Wow, here's a MAJOR problem with this ROM, apparently he didn't add the ability to uninstall programs. Sorry buddy, but because of this, this ROM is gone.
darkjedi,
Sorry, however not all your conclusions about this ROM are correct.
1. There are NO programs in Russian. All are in English.
2. Yes, there isn't the same HTC Home as AP4/5. But nobody said that it must be here
3. The menu used is QuickMenu. It is fully customizable and it has HTC X-Button functionality inside. You even do not need HTC X-Button installed. To customize menu just click Start->QuickMenu->Options
4. It is easy to make the scroll bars as thick as you like - just run
OzVGA and customize
5. Yes it has SOME problems with uninstall, but it is not so critical
And what about speed of this ROM? It is very, very quick and responsive.
Actually it is Ultra Lite, but high-speed system.

Sorry but no, I do not want some "QuickMenu" program that looks ugly and is obtrusive. HTC X-Button is small and does it's job, and allows me to just hit the X and the program closes. And btw, the OS STARTS in Russian btw, and CorePlayer is all in Russian. So I have to go into ANOTHER program just to edit the menu? Ugh. That's incredibly stupid. OzVGA is annoying and very buggy. And WHERE is the add/remove programs? Let me guess, ANOTHER program? Nice attempt, but with all this crap? Sorry but AP4.0, bugs and all, is much better.
Does not sound like an ultra lite to me if it contains so many unwanted third party bloatware.
I'm still waiting for a true vanilla, not pseudo vanilla. On Spl 1.2 please. There's no need to lose any memory to useless programs.

You know even with all the negativity, I may try it. Still having several issues in AP4 and AP5. Waiting to install the next Ap5
1) So the startup and/or Coreplayer is in Russian - who cares Install wwe version
2) I hate the HTC Home in Ap4 and AP5 too big.takes up way to much of the today screen. ALways install htc home vga over it anyway.
3) Quick Menu is really not that bad. It is installed in many of the roms in other forums - Kasier especially.
4) Haven't used OzVga since my universal - It have some issues awhile back, but it was basically like realvga used in other AP rom..Not sure if it works well, but hey why not try it while I wait for another AP rom
5) This seems like a real issue, that would suck, but again I just feel like flashing something, while I wait for another rom to try....

Does it have HTC Touchflo and the new Contact Applications ? Is the speed as fast as the WM6.0 stock ROM?
Have you tested its GPS, bluetooth, and WIFI yet? Could you uninstall the big menu, russian coreplayer, ozVGA, and HTC X-button?

LOVE your cooking bro awesome custom roms!
This is a great ROM and I love the increase in battery life!!!! been able to use my phone extensively all day without having to charge it!!
Before I flash my phone again. Please let me know if the newest build still has this bug in it.
When you open the camera and take a picture, If you press the button to view the last picture you've taken in slide show, it locks up. You can only hit the home button to get out but if you do that, everything else you open locks up as well.
And another bug I had was I couldn't run the Diamond Hologram program.
I loved the ROM but was getting tired of soft resetting when using the camera and I missed Sprint TV.
Were any other changes made, like any optimizations?
How do you unlock the phone before you do the installation of JD's Rom?

How does this ROM specifically increase battery life or is it just a placebo effect? I try to avoid the hassle of using a customized ROM when the device is this new ( towards the last 6 months of using my 2 yr old Treo 700Wx i put a WM6 ROM on it), so what is the battery life juju this JD person is cooking into the ROM? I'd rather have that than a whole ROM.

LordLugard.. Im not sure what JD has specifically cooked into his ROM. You may be interested in this link as it details many hacks for the TP including extended battery life...
I'm using all the standard mogul hacks for battery life, and shutting off things like the IR sensor, which isn't there, to help conserve life.
The touch flow really sucks up the juice.
And you must remember, with this device having more ram to contend with, its going to be a bit more of a hog trying to power it.
Standard settup on my phone after restart is eating up 80 MB of ram. Thats a lot! This device does have a lot though.
I cannot wait to download this rom fix. There is a lot of silly stuff, and this should Improve performance as well.
Hey JD or anyone on here for that matter
I am a lil new here. My T.P. is unlocked with 3.5. My question is, is this an auto run rom like it would be to unlock or how do i go abouts running this i have a herman ruu downloaded but dont know if i need it.
i have done a minor search before i left for texas and couldnt really find anything specific for it other than a how to flash a rom post which didnt lead me to anything
thanks in advance...

Yea. I am wondering about that stuff too. I'm just now getting into this.
The cooked rom that I seen for CDMA Verizon 6700 was an executable that uploaded the rom, just like the other flashing programs.
Yes, can someone please explain "UNLOCKING your phone" for a CDMA phone, specifically the sprint touch pro?
From my understanding, CDMA phones are *customized* by the carrier. The only "unlocking" to be had is to get the MSL code, which allows you to edit the settings on your phone (which is necessary if you want to switch carriers).
search for hspl
Rom is installing the general apps right now. Will report my likings at a later time.
Great install, quick and easy.
Took about 3 minutes for me.

SCREENSHOTS BELOW:
thanks, sounds very interesting!
TF3D not from rhodium, but old one (from raphael) ?
Is it mean that i could upgrade my Serra (WM6.1) to WM6.5??
this could be a great 6.5 rom... has potential! thanks for sharing and we'll post feedback
Hi everyone!
Glad people are liking it so far. Have noticed a lot of downloads so fingers crossed some responses soon.
TF3D is basic of basic. I didn't include the HTC Home, I don't use it now the WM6.5 interface is improved. I also found that it killed battery life. I did include the HTC dialler, volume controls, task manager and gestures. The camera is also included.
Yes it does mean your 6.1 Serra can be on to 6.5 now. I have run it on my Serra for one week now. Battery is fantastic, up to 3 days with normal use. No issues found so far!
Looking forward to hearing back from you all. I'll make any mods people request.
TJ
Could you post few screenshots???
..nice rom guy!! very light!! i flash my tp..and all it's functionally....
that it's my screnshoot!!
i hope i can help tj1984 whit
screenshot...
p.s only problem the keyboard touch....little for my finger...
mano:
Try going to Settings - Input and changing to full Qwerty. That's the HTC Touch Pro keyboard. Much better finger wise. SMS issue also gone which means the auto input using the HTC one works.
I'll get some screen shots tomorrow including using TaskFacade. Post tomorrow evening.
Keep the ideas coming!

I have the same problems but winth EnergyROM v3. I think all these ROM are the same..
camera
i dont know if its just me but when i open up camera i get a black screen but then when i take it, it shows the picture.
kinda annoying when i cant preview my photos... any help?
This is my first attempt at building a rom.
Please let me know what you think about it and any problems you may run into.
I am new to cooking so I won't be able to answer all questions..
Thanks go out to AMDZero for helping me learn how to cook and for helping me with this Rom.
Ckirkp79 Lite Rom (21889)
After initial boot you should have close to 274mb free storage and around 85mb for program.
This is windows 6.5 (not 6.5.3 or 6.5.5) but I will eventually get to those.
Files I removed:
All VZ bloatware
Some Samsung stuff i think (sorry I didn't do a list)
xt9 is also removed but I found that the i8000 xt9 keyboard works really well (i use this personally instead of the one built for i920)
I apologize that this isn't well organized, I just got really excited about releasing this Rom.
When I create my base Rom, I will make sure it is well organized with pictures. I didn't really do any customizing on it, but Titanium is enabled on it.
Just checked out your Lite Rom.
At load I think the windows mobile flag is stretched a bit. That needs to be cleaned up a bit. You might try a different color for your text, as Blue on that green is not so easy on the eyes.
274.47MB Storage ROM at boot and 90MB RAM free after a few minutes of non use good job for your first Lite ROM!
I noticed there are no contacts in your ROM. I'm not sure what you changed but you cannot add favorites in contacts either. I'm currently having the same exact problem and still trying to fix it.
The cube button is not set (neither is cube hold).
Transcriber was left in as a sip, not sure if anyone still uses that, you can delete from SYS to remove it (all three named Transcriber something).
Same goes for MSN Money, not sure if ppl really use that one.
Lockscreen error occurs when opening Media Player (actually called touch player). This is caused by not deselecting the samsung lockscreen in samsung settings. Not a big deal, but it will complain about it everytime you open it otherwise. on my roms I have it deselected by default.
Overall this is a very usable Lite rom, and I'd use it out of the box anyday over the stock version they are selling at the VZW store!
I just noticed that you replied about my lite rom lol. I been so busy dealing with 21904.
Thanks for everything you said. I will def work on the color change on the windowshead.
I don't know what I deleted either to make the contacts not work or not able to add favorites. I guess I need to watch for that the next time I do one.
Yeah I didn't set up the cube button...I don't know why I didn't. I meant to take out transcriber and the other two but got caught up in trying to contribute to community lol.
MSN money was supposed to disappear however it leached on
Thank you for everything you said, as it will help me build a much better rom (once I figure out what I am doing wrong with 21904).
After you work on the content of your ROM we can start looking at changing the icons/taskbar buttons to make it more "theme" related.
Well I am posting this thread to point out the issues which have been identified in the Mango update for the HD2. As of now (14/7/2011) Mango is still in its Beta stage so
- I presume that pointing out these things might get the devs looking into it (hopefully to make for a better release)
- I would also like to point them out particularly to save any of you the hassle / disappointment of going to Mango for any of the listed features with issues ... (listed below) ...
- I would also like to know of any potential solutions (I will post these in blue if solutions exist underneath each issue respectively) if there are any ... because I made a lot of research to find no viable replies ...
By all means it's a great OS and the multitasking etc are all cool but if it's at the expense of the following issues, I'm afraid I will have to go back to NODO or Android ..... I would like to see if any of you are encountering the same exact issues. If possible if there are any potential fixes let the community know.
Issue #1 - Speech to Text problem
When trying to text somebody I get the requester to say my message. The weird thing is, I always get the message "Cannot connect to bing right now ... please try again later....". Now I am not really sure why does speech to text have to access Bing in order to text the message ....Might be a web service or something .. but maybe it could be due to the tighter integration between the phone functionalities and bing that bing is trying to be accessed .... Maybe it analyzes your text to pop up any relevant results ... Say you're talking about Britney Spears and you get images etc ... retreived from Bing which could be conveniently attached to your message ....
Anyways fact is ... I got a 3g Connection and a data connection (with configured apn) ... I can access bing physically by pressing the second button on my HD2 ... but I still get that weird message when using Speech to Text .....Weird isn't it? Question is ... anyone else is xperienceing the same problem ? Can we disable the bing functionality via registry to at least use this otherwise nifty speech recognition on our phones to get our smses written? Has this got anything to do with the profile Region (being US or UK?) I recall that certain web services from M$ don't work when using certain regions instead of others might be the same issue?
ISSUE #2 - Chevron
Well obviously as you may have expected ... The blokes at M$ are hard at work to block sideloading of apps on our devices .... I tried Chevron with the usual .cer technique as we used to do for previous releases of WP7 on HD2 ... and surprise surprise ... It didn't work .... So you can ave goodbye to all your favourite goodies and apps which you used to install via Chevron unless we get this one fixed......
ISSUE #3 - The Marketplace
Using the Mobile data connection I am getting a weird error code when trying to access portions of the marketplace .... The apps which I had installed previously on all builds (up till nodo) ... Did not install themselves as is usually the case ... The phone remained empty ... Now it's either a Zune issue or .... it is related to Issue #4.....
Solution for ISSUES #2 and #3 - Using the Mango ROM by elfinlazz you get the apps to install from Marketplace just like they used to with NODO and other apps. When games were installed however using existing XAP's (previously tested to work on NODO and original WP7 rom), some of these XAPS did not work. The reason has yet to be determined However if you are in desparate need of trying out Mango with some of your old XAPS feel free to use this ROM
ISSUE #4 - Xbox Live .....
I am not an avid fan of this feature ... but it bothered me when I got a pop up on my screen saying that apparently ... the ID is screwed ... and that you cannot sync to XBOX live via mobile ... so wave goodbye to all games which make use of online updates via XBOX live to work ... There are some games which come to mind which do this ... including that 3d puzzle game ... which always checks for XBOX Live connectivity prior to playing ... (can't recall the name so don't ask...) ... I am not a fan of mobile games but this sux..... kind of....
ISSUE #5 - IM not working .....
I cannot speak about facebook because I did not have the time to try it out as yet ... however , after running into issue #4 ... when I tried to connect to IM ... which is one of the key benefits of using mango . . . I am getting a "can't connect to IM " message ... be it if I go and tap tne "me" live tile ... be it if i go into the "messaging" section ... The mobile is unable to connect .... Now i really longed for this one .... On the other hand the comment (next to your profile ... the message you share ...) gets updated .... weird ..
Am tinkering about with different profiles and different regional settings (localization etc) are related to this... I recall that I had problems when trying to sync Zune with the system using a US profile ... This might be related (some food for thought anyone?)
ISSUE #6 - GPU Performance
Seems like the older ROMS (especially NODO) perform better GPUwise from what I have seen so far.... Video playback is laggy .... and HTML5 hype is not as should be on the HD2's .... I don't really think that the HD2 is incapable of running Mango smoothly ... I just think that M$ is behind this .... I won't get into this but I guess that just because of this I would not keep Mango on the HD2 .... Nodo worked a charm .. the development model used by M$ for WP7 is in favour of a lightweight OS with good performance simply because the main thread focusses on running the current task at hand ... if anything Mango should be faster not slower than previous builds! There must be something wrong here ...
ISSUE #7 - Twitter not working
While Facebook / Windows Live and Gmail synchronizations all work fine. I still did not manage to get twitter working. If you try create a Twitter account (in a similar way to creating other accounts) you get a redirection message ... and a grayed out button .... This remains so indefinitely ... Would have been cool to have this working together with IM....
Configuration Used:
I am running HD2 (512) using the DFT release of Mango ... Radio 2.15 ... and MGLDR 1.13 [Thanks for pointing out type .....] and just for the RECORD ... my SD Card works fine , it stores/retreives all data well so don't point this one out because it's not to blame besides it worked perfectly on all previous WP7 roms I used....
Cheers all and thanks for reading .... your suggestions are appreciated ...
Regards

"I am running HD2 using the DFT release of Mango"
Thats why, I have none of those problems with This rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535
Just my personal experience.
Issue #1 That option is greyed out (in messaging) so it's not even possible for my to try it.
Issue #2 I have successfully side-loaded 3 apps. The HTC Flashlight, Htc Battery Tool and the Advanced Configuration Tool. Now they were not complete successes though. The Advnc Config Tl successfully deployed but the app wont wont open. I can only guess that it isn't compatible with Mango. I have not tried any other apps
Issue #3 I am not experiencing that problem. I did have to manually put in the APN settings, but after that it worked great.
Issue #4 On first flash i had that same problem but once i manually tried to sync windows live (after a few re boots) it worked fine as well. I also re flashed the same ROM a second time and i didn't get an error message that time.
I'm running elfinlazz's Green Mango with market.
Hope this input helps.

DFT Mango has exactly same problems as Mango with marketplace and sideloading. DFT mango by default just doesn't have marketplace and sideloading. All current releases of mango are from one source and have a lot of different bugs - just different people discovered different ones because of different working conditions. End of story.
PS i have personaly tried both of them and found same problems in both DFT and the other one.
I'm using elfinlazz' Green Mango, activated and I managed to sideload two games using Tom XAP Installer.
nice
its great i love it ...has only one thing ...battrey drain
but all rest working fine with me .

Have you tried a different sd card? Cause like I said, works for me. Battery drain is not as good as android but after the cam Corder trick it is very decent. Lasts 12 hrs with light/mod useage. Not great though.

My sd card is perfectly working with all NODO and pre NODO ROMs - Sandisk 16gb class 4. I use it for few months already.
Many of apps don't work at all and big problem with bluetooth - can't load phone book to car's hadsfree - crash(works perfectly on NODO). Crash also when on charge in car with Navigon runing and calling with handsfree(NODO and pre NODO perfect). Better to have fully functional phone then fancy not completely working with Mango.

Some zaps like advanced config, and I noticed a few others don't work. You are right it is a little buggy but I have been using mine now for 3 days and what does work is everything I need. I use it as a Phone, My Bluetooth Headset works.Oakly Razrwire, it dials out and I recieve calls.
I DL a **** load of apps off Market place with Angry Birds becomming my addiction. I sideloaded around 12 apps. After I registed it with Microsoft, it installed the apps that I had loaded from the Market place via usb.I have over 100 songs on the phone that I got off Zune. I have a 16gb Patriot class 4 sd card in it. GPS is spot on, Live syncs with calendar and reminders pop up. My pictures I take upload to skydive, I have 3 pop 1 imap and yahoo mail that all are working fine. Linkedin I can;t get to work. Not sure why I would want to use Linkedin anyway. also, my voice dialing works great, speach to text does not.
Not sure why you are having your problems.

I really hope you meant MAGLDR 1.13
unless you are from DFT and are willing to leak it here.
I have also testet Mango on my HD2, but had do deinstall it for these reasons:
- sometimes Incoming mail where not shown content, only header
- sometimes attachements has not been included in the incoming mails
- Font in Mails are very blurry -like Cleartype has not been activated
- IE: the font is very blurry - like Cleartype has not been activated
- Problem with Marketplace: dowloaded games sometimes are not shown in games -> deinstalling or reinstalling so not possible
But i´am looki forward for the mango release for our HD2! It will be a new experiance!
Microsoft is on the right way with WP7!

my friend is using that card and it has mango issues as well he went back to Android because he'd just bought that card and didn't feel like trying another one. It may work fine with nodo but not mango. Just a thought, I mean I guess it's possible. And a note on the video, I'm not seeing that but I have noticed in audio (music or video audio) that it's choppy. However if you plug in headphones it works great. Who knows why.

BIG bug problem
ever since mango was released i've been playing with it and all prior roms I have flashed every thing worked fine i'm sure the bugs still need to be worked out since the official release isn't till later in the month
Biggest problem is the battery drain... other than that you can read my signature why I am waiting.

Could you be kind enough to specify country of origin and the profile whether your live id is from within the same country of origin please?
So say for e.g. You live in the US and your Live ID states that you are from the US?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Works in beta 2 mango http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...edded-youtube-videos-and-fast-tabs-switching/ need this from beta 2.
Just a quick note about manually configuring APNs...
Go to this XDA page and download HTC's Connection Setup XAP. Side-load it (on elfinlazz's Mango) and run it.
It fixes data issues. It opens up all IM services. It makes Bing work (not the speech-to-text part but everything else). It allows you to properly use the integrated Facebook features.
As for battery issues: use software radio version 5.51T. I have found (both on NoDo and Mango) that it fixes battery life and connectivity issues.

Does this radio work on WWE mobiles? I am using a European version ....
As far as connection setup is concerned it's fairly simple to configure it in my country but will still give that program a go ... I had it sideloaded before ... Good to know that even in your situation Speech to Text is not working as well (at least I'm not alone experiencing this )
As for the rest will check and post back ...
