Universal..very slow..to much slow..incredibly slow - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi all, I bougth my MDA Pro 2 week ago..I'm very disappointed becouse the PDA is very slow..It's impossible to use it for anything.
After a soft reset it's necessary to wait a lot of time to use it..when it goes in Stby wake up is very slow.
Programs run very slowly.
When I receive a call I hear the voice after 4-5 seconds.
What's happen? Is an hardware problem or only WM2005?
To see photo what program (light) can I use? PzP it's another disaster, often phone don't vibrate, or ring tone change by itself.
I'm thinking to sell my MDA PRO and come back on the old MDA 2.
I've read other posts but I want to write my issues too.
bye all..

thats nice

Not so much

@klaus, many members here think if there is a probelm with the Universal then the problem is created by the user or their network providers. For many members the Universal is fault free and if it does have a fault you should accept it. Strange world we live in where consumers seem to be happy to be sold shoddy goods by the large companies like M$ and HTC.

My Jasjar use to be slow, but with the new rom(beta), is working great.
About the 4-5 seconds on the ring, i had that problem, but i put my mp3ring tone on the windows/rings and solved my problem.
Im using the new rom for 3days(almost) and is going great. I have nothing to lose by tring it!

Ok I'll try to upgrade the rom..I hope will be better than now..
In this moment the only use possible with this piece of iron is like personal defense gun!!!

Hum ... a i big brick
I think u will like it!
Dont forgett the usaul things to upgrade like using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
removing sim and memory card, etc.
And u will have no problems

Firstly can I just express my HUGE dissapointment on the current standards of the forum, when a simple request for help is met with a bunch of unhelpfull trolling posts. For shame.
Obviously everyone with an MDA Pro is not having the same experience or else they would all be returned.
@Klaus
Can you tell us what ROM you have installed, what other software you have installed, and the usual biggest culprit, what is displayed on the today screen.
If the answer to all the above is nothing, then can you take it back and try a replacement.

Hum... maybe u are right! It was stupid off me trying to give one idea. It worked for me. Using today plug-ins like pocket plus.

VIPER2004 No comment I made was directed at you.
you were clearly the only other person who replied to this thread and made any attempt at resolving the OP's question.

Sorry! I didnt understand it very well. Maybe my ruff English.
But you have a point, to many plug-ins may cause it to go slow; opening the start, turning to laptop mode. But a thing i cant tell u, this is the fastest rom ill ever tested. Better the o2,qtek,mda (latest this by www.buzzdev.net)
Sorry again for the missunderstanding

Guys,
As unhelpfully disorganised as the forum is, there are already several threads on this specific issue. If there's an issue raised here not already covered there, then a new thread is warranted. If not, then's it's better to localise issues and threads in existing threads.
A couple of very good places to start:

That's what the search button is there for, right VJ?
For you guys who dont understand the above statement, IT'S A JOKE.... Pls. don't bombard me with feelings of being insulted..... It seems everyone who mentions to use the search button does..... But it has helped me a lot.... Well, I agree that the Universal was almost always VERY SLOW out of the box specially with so much plug-ins.
I'm one of those who just likes to keep on installing so many apps but never using any of them really.
Anyway, there are a lot of possibilities and most of the problems are caused by 3rd party software that aren't designed specifically for WM5 from the goround up. Also, it took me more than a month to actually speed up the device...
I had a h6340 before and that was SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW.....

That's what the search button is there for, right VJ?

I was trying to point that out, "politely" The other threads on this issue are very useful, and I'll just mirror what I've said on every other thread on this issue. Don't install the extended rom dialler - it's a world of pain for no good reason, other then cosmetic (and video calls!)

@gajet
I think you reference to "troll" was aimed at me. Hopefully people who are frequent visitors know i have tried to help a lot of members and I have heled UK members get the Exec for a lower cost. I personally have helped a friend in the US get a Exec as cheap a possible as they are not available. My response was to simon_darly's unhelpful initial response to Klaus.
Klaus - sorry for this.

this fourm is free.
You dont get nothing for free. If you eventually get some help then be thankful, if you dont, go pay for some help else where.
JAmes

my comment was due to the statement
Universal..very slow..to much slow..incredibly slow
well duuuhh
if anybody tried searching the forum even once on the word slow on the universal forum, they would have found hundreds of posts on this same topic, and simply taking the time to have a read through what has beeing going on and what has been resolved would have greatly assisted the process.
I simply get sick of helping those people that dont even take any time to help themselves at all. In fact I get 214 of them, of which I have contributed to 14 of them.
THEN.... the same statement again. Which on reading of it by the way was simply a statement, and was not a question, nor a request for assistance.
"I've read other posts but I want to write my issues too"
Hence my comment "thats nice"
Why oh why did you need to open up an entirely new forum discussion if you had taken to read the others, you could simply have posted directly into any one of the 214 that raised it rather than open yet another one.

People don't really like to provide answers on this forum. It must be an european thing. I'm a new member and it took me days to find this link. You can go there and cook your own wm2003 rom. It can even be an exe file. The link is:

Contact me if it doesn't work and I'll send you mine. It works great and it simply upgraded me to wm2003.

I think you must be referring to another forum, take a look at how many posts I have beside my name and look at others who also have many hundreds, this is the most helpful forum I have ever seen anywhere. Why it took you days to find the address to the rom kitchen is a reflection on your inability to search the forum rather than reluctance of others to reply.

i think that the more people hang out in the forum the more fustrated they get posting the same asnwer X times a day
at times people ask a question which is answered in the post right under their post
if search dont work for people who want
1. to get a kitchen url
2. a howto to flash the device using xdatools
then there is something wrong with search on other computers them mine
also many answers are given on the front page of this site
the fustration of being asked the same question over and over again
in the end make the users
1 ignor the question
2 respond rudely
3 stop reading the forum altogether
this is a thing i've notised in forums all over
so i would not asume it a european rudeness issue

What's wrong with providing a link to a good starting ground, as I have in my previous post? Is that not an 'answer' in your books? :?:
I came to this site to learn how to flash my XDA to WM2003.. I have less than 10 posts, yet none of them asked "how to flash?" I simply utilized the search feature and was able to find everything that I wanted to know, and more... much more...
No Offense
I apologize if I've offended anyone. It was simply out of frustration. I was tired of people reffering me to a search page that always returned about 150 posts. It is probably my lack of searching ability. I've used other forums and I know people get tired of answering the same questions. Links to the answers would suffice instead of referals to the search page. My apologies once again since my SX56 would be a paperweight if not for this forum. You guys are simply geniuses.
i dont think people got offended really

Re: upgrading
Regarding the recent update to WM2003.
Do you find that your XDA now turns itself to ON every now and then without any prompting? (This occurs when you go in and out of coverage areas.) I found this to happen with every version of WM2003 that I could put together and burn. I like to keep the screen and unit on for a while when I use it and don't have my power usage settings set conservatively. But when WM2003 is on it, it will eat up my battery super fast. I may be driving in my car and have it dash mounted (but without power assist) and watch it turn on every 3 to 4 minutes as I go along. This can also occur when just sitting in one spot if the coverage fluctuates too much the WM2003 turns itself ON without intervention.
Does anyone have a solution or fix for this? Is this happening to anyone else? WM2003 :shock: :? :x
It happens to me evrytime (twice a day) when I access metro.
This "feature" really sucks...
The worst thing is that I couldn't do anything with the registry entry like one discussed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9412 :?

None taken, at least not here All I'm saying is that the search feature works wonders... yes you may get 150 results, but take an extra 5, 10 mins to sift through them and you'll usually find what you're looking for. I usually focus on the posts with higher number of replies...

So will the TyTN II rom work on the TyTN??

Probably stupid question but someone needs to ask it and I have only had my TyTN 1 for less than a month...

Yes, it is a stupid question.
Why do you buy a hermes when you know the kaiser is comming out..
and by the way..the software on the hermes isnt so different than on the kaiser, just the technical specs are better on the kaiser..
Whilst it would be silly to buy a Tytn1 over a Tytn2, if you are getting it as a contract upgrade handset then you may not have the option of a Tytn2, especially if you are an Orange customer...
Orange customer support still deny all knowledge of the Tytn2 saying there are no new SPV's on their internal systems.
Ok jackass... all I asked was IF it would work!!!
I can go out and buy the TyTN II as soon as it's available and have BOTH.... You need not be so damn stupid...
I posted a topic and then two people make a reply with NO information on the ONE question I asked.
You say "Yes, it is a stupid question.
Why do you buy a hermes when you know the kaiser is comming out.."
Which has NOTHING to do with anything. When it's available to my area then I will buy it IF I want it.
Neither one of you can read...
I hope there are some smart people left somewhere in the world...

As the saying goes, there are never stupid questions... only stupid answers..
Looks like you got loads here mate!.
There are some real good deals on the Tytn 1 at the moment so it is not such
a silly idea.
I am hunting the tytn II rom so will find out soon how well it works vs other roms at the moment.
Private message me if you still need an answer.
I thought it was "There's no such thing as stupid questions.... Just stupid people"
I can't imagine it'd work as they have different memory levels which'd surely cause issues? Unless of course someone is able to allocate a limit to which the rom can be written to etc.
This is actually a pretty ridiculous question, but it is one that I'm sure will be asked many more times in the coming months.
Imagine for a moment that you have a Dell laptop. HP comes out with a newer laptop that is much cooler. So you think, hm, can I flash the HP BIOS onto the Dell laptop and have an updated laptop?
The answer is of course no, that this is ridiculous and it would utterly destroy the Dell laptop, very likely forever.
This is basically what you are asking here. You are asking if you can flash the same BIOS on two pieces of hardware that are built on completely different designs.
But more to the point -- why would you even want to do this? Both can run the same software, so why would you want to flash the ROM anyway? If you see a software package on the Tilt that looks particularly snazzy, you can just install it on your 8525 should you so wish, for example.
It was just a question.... holy hell... I never said I was going to do it... I never said I wan't going to buy the TyTN 2...
I have a desk full of cell phones, most still very current phones. I have a very good job and if I want a $500 cell phone then I will buy it without breaking the bank.
Only a question that would have come up one way or another... I have learned that this board is full of people with the "I had it first opinion" and because they had this phone first that they are better and have the "right" to be an asshole.
No it wont work, due to the them both having different hardware and from what i understand of roms they can only be used on the Hardware they where designed for, you could try it if you wish how ever it would most likely brick your device
Bad attitudes...
I does seem that many on these forums glean some sort of sick satisfaction by being a-holes. They seem to think that everyone should know everything about a certain device without asking any questions. Sure the answer to your question may have been given else where on this forum, but not everyone has all the time that it takes to sift through the near boundless info available here. A simple non-rude answer would have been more to the point. Alas, I dream of an ideal world perhaps...
No one here was being particularly rude, and the answers that were given seemed to be pretty simple.
Would you prefer a timid "no" response or a resoundingly huge NO WAY response that ensures that no one here destroys their devices by trying to do something like this?
I hate you, esmith.
Everyone simply answered a question with what they expected and you answered like a 13 years-old nintendo fanboy.
Seriously dude, calm down! I didn't see any rude answers here, sheesh.
I asked if it would work... so... the CORRECT answer would be "YES" or "NO".
Schooling can only teach you guys so much... If you don't see any rude answers here then look at the very FIRST reply to my message with told me my question was stupid and that I was also stupid for buying a TyTN with the TyTN 2 coming out.
The next reply had NOTHING to do with anything I asked...
Reply #9 shows me "This is actually a pretty ridiculous question"
Post #11 ACTUALLY answered the question
So please person who "hates" me from "knowing me online" like you probably know your girlfriend please re-read the posts and let me know...
THANK YOU to the people who can READ and answered my question WHICH would have been and will be asked MANY times to come on this board.
I will leave it at that so I can get back to level 7 in Super Mario Brothers...
Actually, the correct answer would not be "yes" or "no" as you say. The correct answer is "no" only.
Another correct answer would be "This is a ridiculous question." It's certainly more correct than "yes."
Again, no one has been rude to you here. Consider your question answered.
advice:
it happned to me befor.
dont ask dom question if you think the info is around here.
very simple.look, read and then ask (sucks if you ask me).
enjoy.
Pretty sure my question was never asked here.
And if you think a correct answer was "This is a ridiculous question." then that is sad.... because you have no morals what so ever.
Anyways I'm trying to finish up with this topic... kind of stupid for the same idiots to keep bringing it back with stuff that just adds to my case.
It´s a pretty normal question, many young people here I see...
It was (well) answered before: different hardware so, directly, it won´t work. Perhaps some drivers are compatible and newer and can be used on Hermes but I see little use on TyTn II software as, since everything is working fine, the rest is add-in software you can find everywhere.

3G and H signal not as good since updating to VillainROM 3.4!

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem.
But i can not seem to keep a H Signal for very long before it keeps going back to 3G.
and it has only started happening since installing VillainROM 3.4!.
When i am on the net it works fine, but when i am not active for about 10seconds is drops connection..
and this is a real problem when i am using Soccer Centre and i have to come out the program and back in for it to active H again..
Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks

Flash the latest radio (my sig) if you have not already got it.
If you do then reflash it
@Redpizzi
Please do NOT start new threads with Villain issues. PLEASE use the Villain thread.
Regarding to your issue, flash the latest radio again like Lenny said.
Thanks Lennyuk, will try that...i have the latest rom, but will re-install it..
Like i am sat here and the icon is 3G - but when i load up internet or market then it changes to H, then if i leave it for a few mins it goes back to 3g....i thought i might have been a battery saving thing in the rom or in the 2.1 FW....
Thanks again
And Phanes / ermacwins. i got that answer i needed, and now other people dont have to look though 700 pages of posts to find the same answer if they have that problem.
So sorry if you dont like it but it is how i have done thing in forums for 20 years...

awesome, continue like that and ppl who are actually interested in DEVELOPING will have to go through 700 threads of noob mistakes before they find something interesting. and no, there was no internet 20 years ago. if you had at least 20 days of forum experience you might have learned to post in the correct section...
Forums - are not just related to the internet -forums have been around for a long time people.
Phanes you never gave me a hand anyway...
I asked for some help and i got the help i asked for. Fine i should not have but VillainROM in the Thread - but when i posted in the Villain thread before about another problem it never got answered.
Job is a good one, just dont need people ermacwins/Phanes and the **** kendong2 trying to noob bash.
I dont give a **** how many posts you have done, i have been here since 2005 and help when i can no matter where the ****ing post is....
The main man Lennyuk gave me am answer and i will try that. if that does not work, then please just direct me to the right place, DONT start giving me **** for it.
END OF CURRENT THREAD - DELETE IF YOU WANT...
****ing hate people trying to noob bash.....
so if you are that know-it-all guy that has done it all forever and before everybody else, why is it asked too much that you stick to the rules like everybody else does?
and for the record: you are the only one flaming around here, i for example never called anyone a **** around here.
Yer i was flaming cause i asked for help and instead i got noob bashes trying it on..so dont piss me off again, and drop it.....no more slagging off the topic, will ask for help elsewhere
Now the problem has not been solved, so i am gonna try another rom to see if that has the same problem. i have even parked right next to my local Antenna.....
Thanks again Lennyuk

well this topic is not repetitive not useless and if it was against the forum rules then i cannot see why..
260 views mean people are interested untill they find out omeone needs help.
tell me about it. Asked something earlier and the same two were right on queue, no help at all, complaining like I just shat in their cereal. There really is no need for that.
Obviously I'm new to these forums, but been around many other forums for years and years, when I read their response I was literally like oh here we go, I guess this is just another one of those elitist forums, full of mod wannabes and keyboard warriors. Thats until helpful people like lenny weighs in and restores some faith.
Let us know how you get on with reflashing the radio Redpizzi, I have this same "problem", I thought thats just how it was since I got the hero not long ago, and the internet was like that before I flashed it with a custom rom as well. Its minor though but would be good to get the best out of the phone.
your thread was moved by a mod and you still don't get it? so you are also resistant to learning?
well, i guess we have to blame your parents, for not raising you right. other kids have learned not to talk in between while adults are talking.
you guys are so annoying, ive never seen such ganging on someone for simply a post, so cut the crap and either tell him wat he wants or not.
I've also had this issue and the latest radio hasnt resolved it either, I'm also having trouble with slow internet and reception cutting and coming back, ive tried all the 2.1 eris and legend roms and found that behero is the one with the least issues but still isnt all that perfect, i still get cut off sometimes and find no reception, so for the wifi aswell.
kendong2 fair enough if its was in the wrong forum, as im new here I thought something customrom related goes here in the development forum.
the mod moved the thread I thought nothing of it, you on the other hand must've thought it was a personal victory for you and thought it was the equivalent of a public spanking lol. Did you somehow think you were secretly pulling the strings by pointing it out?
Is your whole ambition to be a mod on here or something? just to point out where people are posting wrong and try to insult them lol. Just from a few posts I find it hard to believe that you have any friends. I wont be surprised if you're actually some 13 year old who gets bullied everyday at school and trying to get your power trip on the internet. Next thing you know you'll be pointing out spelling mistakes and missed capital letters. Get a life you loser cos this forum is obviously all you have. You really give this forum a bad name. you're on a phone forum but I doubt anyone ever rings your phone.
Just knock it off. It´s really enough now.
Why don´t you accept that WE how we care about those issues want to see the issues posted IN THE THREAD not somewhere else.
It is done for you guys, for those who have issues and not being able to help themselves.
And stop this passive/aggressive game.
fair enough phanes. he started getting personal first so could only return like for like.
but you do have to concede for new users some things on here are not just there in plain sight to be found out. Not just a simple search away. There's a 700 page thread and everything else is in technobabble. Its simple and intuitive for you cos you already know it. Its like telling someone to learn how to do keyhole surgery by just telling them to read a book. Not even a specific book, just "a" book.

yeah right, because it was me calling ppl a "****" around here. read my posts, i point people out where they are wrong, and usually offer help in the very same post. you are complaining that you can not learn if nobody explains it to you, yet when i explain what you did wrong you still complain. seriously dude, it is not that bad to make mistakes, and i never blamed anyone for that (prove me wrong otherwise!), but it is bad if you don't accept that you made a mistake and learn from it. the fact that about ten threads got moved from the dev section to general or q&a in the last week alone is proof enough that everybody is just posting whatever he wants whereever he wants. i don't think i am secretly pulling any strings (actually i don't even know what you are trying to say...?), and it was for sure not a personal victory, all i did was one neutral post about the thread being in the wrong forum. if you can not deal with critics about your behaviour then you shouldn't come to the internet. go to your gazillions of friends, if they support that behaviour. this is a community, and if it is asked too much from you to stick to the most simple, general rules (that apply to ALL forums on the internet btw!) you won't find people to be that helpful. and obviously you need help.
you have contributed absolutely zero so far, except spamming the dev forum and flaming around here, you think you make friends like that? if it wasn't for lenny and his endless patience you'd still be crying like a little baby whose toy is broken...

Android Problems Thread

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything
Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..
Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

Nuff said. I'm almost wondering if it isn't usefull to just put a -this subforum requires a x minimum posts- limit on the Android section. This is getting more anoying by the day..

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.
Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck
maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.
Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...
To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.

help with android/rom?

hey guys, i think i am trying to to install a new rom. what i am trying to do is dual boot wm 6.5 and android, if thats possible, i have tried searching for stuff, but i get not enough info in some places, and too much in others, here are some links to stuff i have found so far:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733752&highlight=registry+editor

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at
i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them
id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.
im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...
i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?
like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,
thanks,
PBLeonidus
come on, now one knows how to get android running on their device?
please, i need help with this!
also, how or where can i get a registry editor? preferably a .cab file?
dont worry i got it working. thanks for all the help from those that posted! (obviously being sarcastic as no one posted anything)

with the latest froyo stone android file thing
and a dual booter, ran into a few issues, but got it working

wow, you expect us to solve all your problems in 24 hours, on the weekend no less? How much do you think we are getting paid for this?
Glad you got it figured out. Next time, you could try posting in the regular hd2 section as well, seems to be more traffic there.

So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.

i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.
and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....
There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

We dont. It was sarcasm. Hes saying hes not getting paid to help you, so dont get upset when you dont get an answer... This is the internet. Dont expect things from anyone. Just relax and wait. Sometimes, depending on the question, it can take days, weeks to get an answer. If you need people to hold your hand and wish you luck, try the Disney forum.

haha, very funny, i know it was sarcasm, i just gave a serious answer...
i didnt expect anyone to hold my hand or give me an answer, i just would have thought some one would have something about something, like i said before, a lot of times people say good luck, or id be intersted in this too... i found it weird that no one said anything. i know you guys are mad because you couldnt understand my sarcasm, and that i was able to figure it out for myself. how come when i needed help no one said anything, but now that i have it figured out, you guys rant about me wanting everything handed to me, when thats not the case?
mods, please close thread, i got the problem fixed, and there is no need for this thread anymore...

and i didnt mean anything negative by this, i wasnt mad at anyone, i was just trying to be a little funny by throwing some sarcasm in there...
i am terribly sorry that you guys have no sense of humor and couldnt understand that... i though forums where supposed to be friendly, and people were supposed to be able to say funny and or sarcastic things without somone jumping on their back...
once again, please close thread.
it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.
There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.
It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.
pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.
So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.
I'll get this thread closed for you.
Thread closed as requested.
