WME2003 my experience so far, good & bad.

First off XDA Dev forum rocks! I think it is so great that so many people have really helped every level of user. I believe this is truly the best-run forum on the net. XDA developer Peter Poelman, Jeff S., Lance, and I'm sure I'm leaving someone(s) out, please don't take it personally (God I feel like I'm giving an Oscars speech). No really, these guys are great! It's always nice to see a virtual community that actually works like a community. Anyways Tits Up! to ya all :lol: I hope that wasn't inappropriate I mean it is a real expression...... ...I think? :shock:
OK back to my experience so far:
(Theses experiences are based on a Previously US T-Mo PPCPE device with the ATT wireless SX56 latest Radio Stack running obviously WME2003 on US Cingular's Network. As a side note I think we should encourage people making posts for help or in general to start each post with your location, country, service provider, device variant, & ROM+Radio info. This sounds like a lot but these things really aid troubleshooting. Not to mention many of these things can be the thing that makes someone go :idea: I know the answer to that one! Anyway just a thought)
a.) I don't mind all the name changes, win CE, Handheld PC, Pocket PC + 1 and a 1/2 incarnations, and now WME. Just as long as it doesn't get changed to The Operating System Formerly Known As :roll:
b.) If you are having trouble with ring tones this is what I experienced. After using the add ringtone app in setting my ring tones wouldn't show up once I went to the phone app to change the ring tone it was not their. I then snooped around and found some differences.
1.) 2003 ring tones (ROM) are actually .wma files or have that extension
2.) Strangely these files differentiate from regular .wav files by having a space after the name (i.e. ringtonfilename .wma verses ringtonfilename.wma or ringtonfilename.wav) I am not sure this is how the OS tells the diff.
3.) Even weirder now everything works as it should space no space, use +ringtone app, or direct copy file to Rings folder in \windows DIR. So, if you're having problems try adding the space and putting it in the windows directory folder then once it shows up move it back to the rings folder and all should be well. Haven't toyed with .midi ring tones or polyphonic ringtones yet.
c.) If you want .wav files to show up in the sounds & notification / notifications tab just name the beginning of the file with Alarm i.e. Alarmwavfilename.wav and put it in the \Windows DIR folder and their you have it. I use Looney Toons TAZ talking when I get a new SMS as an example. AlarmTAZ.wav
d.) There seems to be a lot of stuff left over from the old OS if that is possible, or I'm not sure why it would be included as duplicates or not used by .Net 4.2x
Under Settings:
I have 2 power icons under settings. They both seem to work fine except one uses a newer Icon and is missing hyperlinks to other apps. I wonder if 4.2 see both but not the key that has the hyper links. Might be fixable. I'd suggest delete one of the keys but not before figuring out adding a new value for the hyper links. I still don't quite understand the registry. I have no computer training just self-taught and now have hard resetting down to blind folded, underwater and in my sleep :lol:
(If anyone understands the registry please PM me I have some interesting ideas I’d like to try that could benefit everyone )
Auto Config icon links no where.
Device Information doesn't get all the information right.
Other stuff that seems to do nothing but is present
\Windows\Cookies
\Windows\History
\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
\Windows\www
[I think these files were added by the developer of this beta to aid the team/soft dev/beta testers familiar with the old layout. I don't think this is the raw WME2003 OS (could be wrong). I would love to get my hands on that, incase service providers tweak & load junk on their that make the device work the way "they" want it to and not what it "is" capable of doing.]
These all now live in (with the exception of the last) in a new location that gets used (with new sub folders called content.IE5 & history.IE5) \Windows\Profiles\guest\
You'll need to know this if you wish to move the location of your temp internet files to be stored on your SD or MMC card. (p.s. don't delete your index file when manually deleting files in these folder it does not remake itself on warm boot. This may not be the case any more)
Also, you may want to download & install VBruntime for pocket pc 2003 from MS. I looked all over and for the life of me I can not find the file to post the link, but don't worry once you do anything that requires it I was prompted to download it by the OS :shock: 8)
e.) Also under \Application Data\Volatile\ DIR & \profiles\default\ DIR these don't seem to serve any function either.
That's about it for the oddities, of course there's the snooze hangs your device alarm bug. Not sure if that's going to be so easily fixed might be vibrate option related? Haven't toyed yet.
Also, radio signal display isn't all that accurate. Signal still the same, just not displayed as accurately.
OK now on to the cool stuff! (I'll just focus on the functionality issues as not to repeat too much that we already have in the forum:
f.) True Class B GPRS (Strange seems to be OS side not GSM Radio Side, as I didn't upgrade the Radio Stack :?: )
Always on + True GPRS Suspend feature! (I can't believe I waited over a year! for this common basic function :evil: and MANY people out their are still! waiting. I'm surprised this device even did as well as it did given this was already a feature in Bluetooth phone+PDA combos. I almost took it back to the store the day I bought it (Like all the handheld computers in my PDA graveyard from Casio Boss-Sharp-1st CE-Psion-RIMBlackberry-HPC both form factors-PPC, I must be the first to have it! I'm ill that way :roll: early adopter is a light term :shock: )
g.) Today Plug-in big improvement Calendar gives you a heads up the next appointment down the road (you'll either love this or hate it & it's not an option so hope for the first)
Inbox plug-in shows all your accounts SMS+All email accounts. Taping on the specific account launches that account 8)
h.) Pac-Man anyone just go to \Windows\Pac-Man.exe and copy via file explorer into your \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games and Tap & Hold select paste shortcut. Then Tap & Hold rename and get rid of "shortcut"
i.) Inbox rocks now almost Blackberry like functionality (sort of) When you set up a new account their is an option to check called connect & check for messages every "" minutes. Max value is only 60min not so good if you’re trying to watch kb charges or battery life. But the really cool part is it really works. Even if you ready for this kids 8) DO NOT have a current data connection it will at the appointed interval launch a data connection and run! :shock: way 8) This will take place even if the devise is turned off, but requires inbox to be open and I think on the top (not running in the background a stupid MS bug. Not the case when the device is on will run in the background)
Now for the things I do hate :x :
Once again Microsoft just blows me away in their omission of a function that is so obvious, basic and expected and just cripples the device at the point of it's "Main" cool sell factor (i.e. data connection killed on power off, data connection terminated on call dial/receive) that I just can't believe it :shock: The moment the little thought ran through my head "Oh, #%[email protected]! I might have to wait a year for this tiny #%[email protected] pivotal bug to get worked out I almost threw my device out the window I was so pissed :x :evil: So hear it is and your not going to believe it:
The inbox as stated above works awesome, very automated, great, etc, but if you have more that one email account it will ONLY auto connect and check the one that is on top! Even worse, if your SMS account is on top wont check any of your email accounts :shock: I just cant believe it all that functionality and just like before...Up the dirt path! :shock: What were they thinking? I don't think this is going to be fixed by any of the operators. I'd be curious if the non Phone Edition WME2003 has this same roadblock? Two little things; work in the background on or off, and check all accounts. Makes sense the app has to be open.
One last OMG can't believe it MSN Messenger is very flakey with GPRS Suspend sessions. Meaning sometimes it does not reconnect and other times it does. The problem is you will have no idea unless you go look to see, at this point...What's the point? Defeats the whole purpose. Again, these are most likely on the MS side not likely to be fixed by the service providers
I recommend copying the tmail.lnk file located in \Windows\ to \Windows\StartUp\
One cool thing you might really want to do :
This is a must have http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/ for the following:
It seems many people like to program their voicemail password in with the voicemail number so it gets entered automatically. I, like many others, initially tried adding the p's to the number in Start, Settings, Phone, Voicemail but after a soft reset the p's change to 0's.
The following seems to work on an SX56 with AT&T Wireless and T-Mobile. This involves editing the registry, if you're not careful you can break things requiring a hard reset. You might want to do a backup through ActiveSync before trying this. I'm not responsible if you break it.
If you don't already have it, download and install a registry editor. The one from PHM (www.phm.lu/products) seems to work great.
Open the registry editor.
Navigate to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Vmail
Edit the PhoneNumber key to include your voicemail access number, pauses (use "p"), and your password.
Edit the RegOverridesSIM to 1, instead of 0.
Close the registry editor.
Soft reset the device.
Go to SpeedDial and verify your voicemail number includes the pauses and password.
After this, do not go into the Voicemail settings, ie. where it says "Reading settings from network...". Doing so will reset the RegOverridesSIM key and you'll have to do it again.
Hope this helps someone out.

thank you mike for this tip now it gets a little trick on 2003 here's why. In the \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Vmail there is no RegOverridesSIM key beleive it or not I a non-programmer am going to teach you anyone how to write a registry key :shock: (only for this instance! It's probably not really this easy. I had no idea what I was doing. Just guessed right the first time, shew!) OK kids here we go (doing this wrong may well destroy the very fabric of our 4 dimensional universe or.....It'll just #%[email protected] up your machine :roll: ):
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Vmail
Then from edit on the command bar select "New DWORD Value"
Value Name: RegOverridesSIM
Value data: 1
Base: Decimal
Hit OK
Now go to Phone Number 1 Edit your phone number to include your pauses and password or what not under
Value Data
and hit OK
Exit the program (Close It not minimize)
Soft Reset your device and that's it!
OK enough my conclusion (To WME2003 or SER1.2 or not):
If you read this post and said "#%[email protected]! me, do I really need to know all that?! :evil: I just want my device to work. (You want a stable reliable device, and never look under the hood of your own car. Oil what's that? you get the idea :mrgreen
Also if you are counting kb (GPRS data) and only connect for information, for fun, or not more than 5+ times a day
Then Go with SER1.1 or 1.2 both excellent very well done and way stable. Nice job guys 8)
If you are not counting kb, you really "need" connectivity 24hrs a day (other than the novelty factor i.e. I do wireless & software consulting for corporations in the US wanting to go wireless or paperless, and I provide Technical support via IM clients. Now imagine how free "I" become being able to be truly mobile :shock: This is what wireless is really all about baby! I'm also an Actor here in Los Angeles...no really it just sounds like a joke :lol: )
don't mind getting your hands dirty, tinkering under the hood, or every time someone give you back your phone after looking at it you caress and utter under your breath "My Preeeeeciouse...."
Then go with WME2003
Hope this helps.
P.s. If there are any programmers for CE4.2 out there I have some ideas specific to these devices and I have the resources to get these ideas to companies and the entertainment industry. The demand is getting stronger, the future is being realized in business, and right now my hands are tied to what already is. Not, what should be. Big difference, even bigger market.

Funny thing, the PHM registry editor was already in my windows directory so I am guessing it is part of the ROM image to begin with. Since this is a developer ROM image I can see the need for this. Can anyone else confirm this so I can stop wondering whether or not I installed PHM in my sleep and didn't know about it.
I did the double wammy, I installed the ATT SX56 update and then immediately MW2003 on my T-Mobile PPC. Bad move, sort of. My GPRS signal was MIA for a good 80-90% of the time after that after the 2003 install. Maybe it was the network but I thought it was funny that all of a sudden after several months of almost no downtime I start having connection problems after updating the radio stack. After a couple days of this I decided to revert back to the ATT SX56 rom. So far my signal is back to what it should be.
I have to conclude it is the 2003 ROM and the type of SIM or coverage in my area. Voicestream showed up as the carrier under 2003, but under 2002 it shows as T-Mobile. Is this the case for all T-Mobile users I wonder? I wish I could figure out why my GPRS wasn't working under 2003 but until then I will stick with what I have at this point. At least I can rule out the radio stack upgrade as the problem.
Uninterupted GPRS with Thunderhawk will have to suffice for now.
If you are sticking with 2003 I envy you. Even with this pre-release version of the OS I can see definite speed increases with games, so I am guessing it across the board too.
Thanks for XDA Developers and Jeff for their contributions and more importantly time to this community.

@ ottoman3
Yes that is the case with my unit, in the LA basin, too.
But I really don't mind if it says Voicestream or T-Mobile, my service here reports Cingular :shock: since they share network and towers in the area. And yes PHM Registry edit is on the ROM, with some other Registry thing, Wallaby (xda) stress test tool and PacMan
I'm sticking with it, because I like the experience, see
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1649
I have no need for Blackberry-style email, in fact I *like* the fact that I can control email flow (manually yes but it's ok 4 me).
The +'s outweigh the -'s in my case, ymmv :wink:

PHM Registry is indeed in the 2003 ROM. But it is v0.2 instead of the latest v0.7

ottoman3
PHM reg edit in ROM I decided to encourage people to use the latest version, but old one works just fine too.
The other reg edit tool is manual (I think kind of like a command line registry edit)
If you'd like please post what device hardware you are running (who you bought it from) and upgrade revisions i.e. Here's what I did. Started with latest t-mo ROM & Radio from US T-Mo website, then successfully (no bumps) updated to AT&T latest ROM & Radio, then updated (with a few hangs, simply solved by pulling the device from the cradle closing the desktop session putting the device back in the cradle and running set up again. Never soft or hard reset my device. The upgrade program sees where you left off and picks up from there) SERv1.1, Then successfully upgraded just the ROM image to WME2003.
My radio rom combo works fine - being quite temperamental from time to time. Radio seems to be fine, just rom temperamental.
Couple of things:
I assume your phone was SIM Unlocked, if so it will show the actual network provider for the tower you are using. If your device is SIM locked to a certain network provider AT&T or T-Mo it usually only shows that provider unless you are roaming. Voicestream is the old name T-Mo is the new name so maybe some locations still ID as VS. Where are you located? Like vagelis said CA, New York, and I think one other allow these two providers to sell service in areas they were not in.
Once you upgraded successfully to ATT ROM did you soft reset allow the radio to register on the network, connect to GPRS and then did the 2003 update? Just curious. Shouldn't make a difference but when handshaking with networks it might want to log the IMEI number or something first. Just guessing:?
Usually if you are able to connect to GPRS some of the time and not other it is not necessarily on the device side. That usually denotes an operator problem.
And vagelis what's a matter with you :wink: not wanting instant or timely email notification! No really, I understand there are two opinions to everything one is mine the other is wrong :roll:
I just wish they would have not stopped short, seems like a simple yet obvious ooophs .
One last thing, if you want email notification without incurring data costs, try the following:
Open a hotmail account, go to alerts tab, and set up alerts via SMS to your cellular phone number you.
Then at your POP3 account home simply set up “forward copy of mail” received (not all POP3 services allow this and HTML services do not allow forward to another account) to your new hotmail inbox. Now you will know via an SMS message that you need to “Manually” check your Inbox on your device. It also includes the subject line in the SMS but not the body of text incase you decide it’s not important enough to check right now. If you already use a HTML mail account most of the major ones have SMS alerts for email. So, you will know when you have to log-on and sign in to your mailbox.

I followed the upgrade path pretty much the same as you erickbryce minus the Dev 1.1 upgrade. I went from the latest T-Mobile rom to the latest ATT SX56 rom. Reset the device, signed onto my service, played with GPRS just to see what uninterupted GPRS was really like. It said T-Mobile with the ATT rom so I know it had something to do with MW2003. I then upgraded to MW2003. Then it went downhill from there.
I bought my PPC phone last August from CompUSA so I am guessing it is the unlocked version. I just read a very interesting thread over at PPCPassion about someone getting their SIM replaced with a new one from T-Mobile and their Voicestream idenitification changed back to T-Mobile and their GPRS improved greatly. It sounds just like my situation. And since my phone was purchased right around the time Voicestream changed over to T-Mobile maybe something was left behind on the SIM. I never really followed up on GSM and SIM technology to know what exactly is stored on these cards outside of Account information. I will see if I can get my SIM replaced with a new one and try MW2003. I really miss the speed boost.
Thanks for your input and suggestions.

Can you give a little more detail on the "Then it went downhill from there" part? :lol:

The GPRS connection went downhill from there. Sorry for not being too clear with that statement. It started out okay, then for the next several days I pretty much was never able to establish a connection. It must have been connected with MW2003 because my connection was dead prior to returning to the ATT rom. 10 minutes later after the upgrade my GPRS came back. It has been solid ever since.

Hmm very interesting
Just wondering did you try the new SIM card solution yet? I am just very interested now to see if swapping the SIM makes GPRS work now. The curious thing is, it worked then didn't :evil: . If your provider disable some provisioning on their end changing the SIM will only load the same provisions on your account as before on the new SIM. Please let me know and ask your service provider why this would work if it does. Always learning, so would like to know. :idea:

Data symbols on dash what do they mean : jas jar Wm5

I see a "G" or a "U" on the upper bar of the WM5 screen, what do they mean ?
Is there an online manual that covers Wm5 in detail??
What the info on all the buttons on the Comm manager ???

If GPRS data connection is available (when you're in the GSM network) there is a "G", if UMTS data connection is available (UMTS network), there is a "U".
And sorry, i don't understand your last sentence.

Sorry about my last sentence.
The WM5 Comm manager. What do all the symbols mean, and there different configurations.
Is there a HOW TO or a detailed manual online of WM5 anywere ?

Being new to WM5 myself I found that Sbp Tips & Tricks was a great help. Nice, friendly informative advice. Don't kno if its worth paying for it tho.

Not as yet - have downloaded it just now. Will try it out tonight and get back to you.
I have spent the last 3 weeks - since I purchased my HTC Touch HD - on getting Telstra to give us the right to use a stock ROM. It seems they may at last be starting to listen to their customers.
In the meantime I have been using my old and trusted SPB Mobile Shell; Weather; Wallet; GPRS Monitor; Keyboard; Time and Backup. Took a long time to set it all up again and get rid of the Telstra stuff.
Although some of it was useful and I do like the look of the TOUCHflo 3D - I just didn't want all the Telstra Overkill - seeing as I purchsed the HTC outright.
What a surprise to now see Telstra come to the party. LOL
Cheers

i've tried it can't say i notice anything really different....might just have the fixes built in...same old keyboard etc

I tried it and found the following differences
1) HTC Weather tab (only major cities so sort of sucks but the animations are cool)
2) a few different internet connections defined including 'telstra enterprise'
3) couldn't set up my over the air activesync to my corporate email. Kept on telling me the modem settings wouldn't let me connect. After a number of fustrating phone calls to HTC and Telstra I worked it out myself. When you go into the options for the email account after setting it up there used to be an advanced button where you could set which internet connection to use, this is no longer there. Instead where you define which options to sync (email, contacts, calendar and tasks) there is an options tab, under this is a connection tab which has 'dedicated' by default. Changing this to internet fixed the problem.
3) new Telstra email service seems to be on this rom, for $7 you get 1000 emails from telstra mail, hotmail etc. However attachments are only free if you use Telstra or bigpond mail.
It seems a little bit faster, although not that much.
Internet seems to be quicker as well.
I gained an extra bar of signal strength.

Can you upload this rom for sharing? Thanks!

can't download
Can you tell me why I can't download this rom?
When i type my device S/N HT92RKD01786,
system answer is "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
When i open htc site for my country (Poland), there is no rom update in this year. Can I install this rom , if someone upload it?

Tried it - very disappointed
I tried it out last night and was very disappointed - yet once again.
The Weather Tab is now available but I still could not find the Customize Tabs location or application. Nothing else changed much on mine. I live in the "Next G" network area - so going from 1 bar to 2 bars did'nt exite me too much.
Telstra - shame on you for degrading such a perfect piece of equipment.
Ohh well - back to SPB - seems that one does work well and allows me to change whatever I like. Maybe not as good looking as the Touchflo app but at least I can customize and I don't have TELSTRA in my face the whole day.
Fuxik - I believe this upgrade is only available to the HTC 8285 "Telstra" branded model. Believe me, you probably don't want this one if you already have a working "Stock HTC ROM" installed.
Again guys - very disappointed in Telstra. Why aren't we allowed to have a stock ROM ?? Does Telstra think we are all "dummies" and can't find our way around a mobile?? Or are they afraid if we don't see them we may not use them (haha)...

ROM is in the base directory of the FTP site, couldnt seem to put it anywhere else

Battery life seems to be a bit less with this ROM
Can't change the home screen on touchflo, can assign a different picture but it doesn't pick it up
Seems to turn itself on every now and then for no particular reason
Drop downs in SPB Mobile and Phone seem to have stopped working
Opera browser paints itself about 1 cm to big sometimes and you can see the top of the bottom buttons but cant hit them.

Same here Nossac
I've also found a few issues with this new Telstra release.
Battery life is definately shorter now.
I was never able to change the picture on the "Telstra" home screen from day one. Last version had same issue.
Still cannot find the so-called "Customisation Button".
I ended up not istalling SPB Phone as it kept conflicting with the Telstra settings. But not having any issue with SPB Mobile Shell 3.0 (as yet)
I'm in the Next G zone and am now having an issue with the Internet Connection. My phone now seems to want to connect to HSDPA instead of 3G - It takes longer to download anything because of this. Telstra won't let us change the Connection Settings. They are pre-set.
What a joke.
Will be calling Telstra today to see what to do next.
Still NOT happy Jan!! LOL

Not being able to alter the background annoyued me so much I ended up putting Mobile Shell back on
I have SPB Mobile, Phone and Time all running nicely.
If only they would release better Mobile Shell widgets...
My phone has always gone to H when doing data then kicks back into 3G after is has finished. For some reason I thought that is what it was meant to do??
Even my mega battery is down to 40% at night now (new ROM + Mobile Shell) is a bit of a killer, it used to only get down to 60%

Hidden CommManager 3G to GSM feature for wm6.1 roms

I just found out, there is hidden "3G switch" support in HTC CommManager.
So there is no need to upgrade ROM with beta packages from Mega if you just want this feature.
To activate the 3G feature you need:
0. Kill CommManager process. (fdcsoft task manager is your friend).
1. add these regkeys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS]
"OpMode"=dword:00000001
"PrefRAT"=dword:00000001
@=dword:00000000
"PrefDomain"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection]
"Band"=dword:00000000
2. you need to replace some item in CommManager GUI with 3G item:
For example if I want to replace "Bluetooth" I will change this key (before its value was "Bluetooth")
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\2]
@="3G"
3. copy these images to your windows folder
Function_3G.png
Function_3G_Disable.png
Thats it.
You can choose 3G or GSM with one click now =)
tested with HTC CommManager_2_7_5_0,
Iolite version,
from RUU_Iolite_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.11.707.1_Radio_Sign_12.4 1.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship,
released 3/3/2009

3g connection
the problem is that in Kaiser WM6.1 latest radio(expected to be the best) or any other radios, when in 3g mode u cant make a call. It just starting to search operation.
Any solution for this will be highly appriciated by many ppl in the form
tnx in advance

there is an even easier way built in the new roms, my 3g coverage is crap at best
go to start/settings/personal/phone at the bottom of the screen go to (gsm/umts services) then in the box tap band then get settings and change from auto to gsm and all sorted this is an easier way if you dont need to be swapping and changing from one to the other.

This could be done absolutely ages ago with Advanced Configurator but thanks anyway

[07-15-2010] ***T-Mobile HTC HD2 UnOff Service Pack 2***

The T-Mobile HTC HD2 UnOff Service Packs 1 & 2, I created with the cabbing help of skr_xd with the connection setup files (files I developed Leo-Based Roms for the Xperia but had strange difficulties cabbing them for the HD2, so skr_xd did the great job in cabbing them) will fix the main problems on the T-Mobile HTC HD2 which i noted below...
This Service Pack is for those who rather not flash custom ROMS, and continue using the stock 2.13.531.1 ROM...
I personally think the stock rom is great except for what this service pack does...
The T-Mobile HTC HD2 comes bundled with bloatware and a mixture of square icons and default wm6.5 icons; to me, the mixture is ugly...
Features:
Connection Setup... All Countries Included...
user must delete t-mobile connection settings manually by going to settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections>general>delete settings
connection setup may run after first reset, device may experience a 4 second lag when this occurs
Default settings menu restored...
Default Windows Mobile 6.5 Icons system wide... including newer system icons for that uniform look...
LED notifications of missed calls, sms and mms...
Solitaire & Bubble Breaker...
Camera & Camcorder Image Quality Increased...
Back Button and Graphical Send Button in HTC Messaging...
Owner Information Setting restored to register those games...
Automatic lock disabled... Very annoying, especially when listening to music; no more wasting time having to unlock the screen every single time you wake the device... you lock when you want!
Optimized for MS Office 2010 with new icons...
Color Twist Theme...
Minor Icon Replacements...
Icon Cache Refresh...
After system resets, apply new theme - ColorTwist
***Check the G-Sensor icon***
Icons that were removed...
***you need to delete their folders for more space manually (very easy to do with file explorer)***

Does not work, can't install on TMobile HD2. Plz help.

thats weird, I am using the same device and this is what I am using until i start cooking

Installed the service pack, but can't connect to internet. Internet provider is airtel india

you need to go to connection setup

pretty much no feedback on this, is no one using your hard work?

stock rom
just flashed back to the stock rom so yea ill give this a shot.

Me too just went to stock rom if this works it is just what i want
Installed perfect, now test but really looks good! You might have save me alot of disappointment Thanks

thanks guys... as soon as my comp is back up, I will be developing roms for the T-Mobile HD2 as well, with the same concept as I did for the Xperia X1...

Dear Spikegotti, plz help me how to set it for airtel India. I tried so many ways, in advanced tab i select the network, my ISP, acess point name- airtelgprs.com then finish. Tried Airtel Live too. On first day when i purchased it, without doing any settings it worked a full day. I surf so many sites. Next day it did not connect to net. So i start finding help on net. Finally i find UR post. So help me plz.

Call Airtel Customer support and get the GPRS settings. Then manually insert them to setting --> all settings --> connections --> connections
Its simple

you need to go to connections>connections, delete the existing settings which might be t-mobile... then use connection setup to apply your settings
edit: ok cool, for some reason t-mobile setting doesn't delete when applying new settings, these settings must be deleted manually

works GREAT

good job.

how we can check the settings to delete manually.

connections> connections> manage existing connections> general> delete settings
thanks guys

NB this applies to those wifi too this data connection must always be on

Actually i already applied airtel settings, but it still not working for me.

Hello..I have the required tmo stock rom. If I install this it would erase the bloatware? or will that be an update you are working on. I noticed the zipped cab says service pack 1 but you say sp2 will erase folders.? I just want to erase the bloatware to give me more ram space so phone will be faster, is this cab for me?..thanks

about the bloatware, it will remove the links... its easy to remove the folders, just connect via usb and remove them, either via the pc or on the device... folders located in the programs directory... block buster, mobitv etc.
the game folders are located on the sd card
