Alright as far as that rhythm lights thing goes, I dont think there is anything like that for the WIZARD and the PhonViso thing just seems like a memory wasting app that is unnecessary because you still have to open WMP in the background and then open it which means you have to have 2 programs running just to get the effects. Now if teh PhonViso app was a media player also and you only had to run one program to get the visualizations, then I think it would be neat.
As far as rom upgrading goes, it depends on what you are looking for and whether your device is a G3 or G4. When your device boots up, what is the IPL/SPL? If I know that then I can more effectively help you.
For flashlight apps, I havn't really come across a good one that is really bright or anything. I think it would be cool to see one that integrates the camera flashlight to work without opening the camera. I have attached the best one I have found, but it's still not great.
I know you're new here, but in order to contribute, you are gonna need to do A LOT of reading to better understand everything unless you are like a computer programming genius.
Lets just start off by telling me what your IPL/SPL are and we can determine whether your device is G3 or G4 and we can go from there.
my cingular is pretty much stock its just software and skins it has
heres the stuff
IPL 2.25
SPL 2.25
GSM 2.25.11
OS 2.25.11.1
PhonVISO makes the visualizers not through windows media player but through what goes in the mic

Ok so you have a G3 device. I would reccomend starting out by CID unlocking your device. Use this thread to unlock your phone first(don't be offended by then name of the thread. lol) Wizard/MDA/8125 Unlocking for Dummies
Once you have your CID unlocked then you will be able to test roms at your leisure.
ok will some roms brick my phone
can you give me a list of recommend roms
i followed it
new stuffs are
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.25
GSM 01.12.10
OS 1.5.4.2
recommended roms plz

Ok I see that the IPL/SPL are changed but have you finished unlocking the phone using Lokiwiz? IF NOT THEN YOU NEED TO DO THIS. It is attached to this post in case you have not done it yet. If you have already unlocked the phone USING LOKIWIZ then do not worry about the download and then just proceed to my next step below.
Once the device is successfully unlocked then you need to flash this rom: T-Mobile 2.26 to create a stable base to flash other roms.
After the update is finished and the phone has rebooted, then you need to set up the rom. Just follow the steps and configure the rom on first startup.
Once this is done, then flash IPL/SPL 3.08 for faster boot times and then you are done.
From here you can flash any rom you like. I personally like TNT5.0 Touchflo edition but I am not going to reccomend any rom to you, I want you to try a couple of them and decide what you like.
Have fun!
ok before i saw your post i went and installed xda mobile 6 without installing the 2.26 base will that affect anything
i got ipl/spl 3.08 before too
can i still install the t-mobile 2.26 then go to a different one
EDIT i guess it isnt recommended to just install it..
ty for all this help btw
Hi Folks!
First I would like to say that you are doing a lot of great work which will make the life with our little electronic friends alot easier! I saw these Windows Mobile 6.1 images from Pepe and I just must have it. But since I'm completly new to PPC's, I have a few questions about it.
1. Is there a list of features of the different "Editions" for the Bepe images?
2. How do I flash the ROM to my phone? Is there some kind of HowTo?
3. I have an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is an Polaris 200. Is that the right platform? I just don't want to mess anything up on it.
4. What will happen to my TomTom Navigator software? Can I reinstall it using the package included DVD?
Thanks for your patience and for answering my questions!

I think you mean Bepe and not Pepe?
1) Premium = Full; Opera = No TomTom; Standard = No TomTom, No Opera Browser; Basic = Light
2) First of all you have to install HardSPL and then you can flash the Rom (just download the rom, the tool for flashing is built in).
3) Yes, it´s right. I did the same.
4) Grab the Premium-Version, there´s TomTom included. This might be work without reinstalling from the TomTom-DVD. I prefer IGO8.
Further information can be found here.
Good luck.

Thanks alot! So at last I need to know is if the Bepe ROM's contain any radio stuff or which one I should take.
radio is included. at least i didn't had to install any additional stuff...

No, Radio is NOT included, but the one already on your phone will not be affected by flashing this ROM or any other ROM not containing Radio. The CustomRUU will always update only what is included in the ROM and leave the rest as it is.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
Radio rom is not included
FM Radio is
Guys I got it! This Newbie HowTo is really great!
First I tried the Polaris unlocker. It has three steps, but only the first, flashing the Hard SPL worked for me for unknown reason. I thought Hard SPL is on the device, it runs up fine, three coloured screen says Hard SPL so I was going for the Bepe 0.67 Premium ROM. This worked really fine. After that, I did a hard reset as recommended and made my settings. Then I tried to flash the radio. Well... This made me kinda nervous, I thought I f*cked something up and bricked it. It showed me an error 262 at 99% and then some kind of recovery stuff started. I was a bit too nervous so I choose next where I shouldn't. But removing the battery, and flashing the new radio again while seeing the three coloured screen worked fine for me. WiFi and 3G phone calls work fine, the rest should be also ok I think. Well, thanks for this great ROM's folks! Now I'm happy that I bought my HTC instead of this piece of brick called iPhone.
Heya everyone,
I have browsed this site before and loaded software onto my P4350 before.
I now have a Touch Dual (Nike), and would like to put the same software on the phone. I got it right a while ago... sort of (some apps still had bugs).
Could someone make it real easy for me and post the link to the latest version THAT WORKS ON MY PHONE.
I don't need footprints.
The issues I had before that might have been fixed in later versions are:
Weather app crashed EVERY TIME you opened it
Opera browser would NOT save the home page
Thanks guys.
BTW... this software f*ing rocks. You guys at XDA and whoever else is working on mods for it are doing an awesome job!
Hi !
1)
First you need you HardSPL your Phone...
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730
And search further on to get Version Hard-1.22.
2)
Afterwards, you need to Flash an Original WWE Rom like this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373452
You NEED to flash this in order to get the newest roms working right !
Maybe, you need to do the HardSPL again after that.
3) Radio
Head here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
And get Radio 1.71.x or 1.6x...
4)Custom Rom
Finally, you can flash anything you want, i really like gullums rom as it is fast and stable:

When I'm running thr RUU.exe I keep getting Error 262....
what am i doing wrong?
Hi, I recently bought a T-mobile HD2, the unit isn't unlocked yet but I plan to unlock it and use it with AT&T, anyways I'm interested in running Android on the device. Would updating the HD2 from the HTC website which I believe is the official update website prohibit me in anyway from locking out Android or do anything negative in terms of customization of the HD2 unit?
I am running the updated rom 2.13 I am on t-mobile though and I am able to use android all day but once I restart it reverts back to WM. So I am not sure if this helps you...I was able to get everything running but the calls sounded robotic. I read I needed to flash to a new rom.

Well first, if you have the T-Mobile version of the phone, you do NOT want to use an update from the HTC site, that's for the euro version of the phone. The upgraded stock rom that you can use is available on T-Mobile's support page for the HD2.
Now, flashing to the correct updated ROM will not prevent you from doing anything...you'll still be able to unlock it later, you can still run Android, and you can still do any customizations you want. It's just a newer version of the stock ROM that originally came on the phone.
Hey, thanks so much guys, I'll search for the T-mobile page. I'm glad you guys caught it before I bricked me phone.
BTW, I read that you the T-Mobile Version of the HD2 doesnt use radios. What exactly are radios? I know they mean like firmware versions but what is the term. Also, do you guys recommend flashing a different WM rom or just keep the stock one? I tried to read about Android on the HD2 but I need some user advice. Is Android now stable enough for everyday use on the HD2? Also, could you use applications on the HD2 Android Rom? Will they work as they should? Lastly, why didn't the developers develop a Android rom that you could flash so you didn't have to reboot into it after every Hard Reset?

The US HD2 certainly does use radios, it just uses different ones than the euro version...in fact, that's most of the reason the wrong ROM could brick your phone, because of radio incompatibility. As you said, the radios you see referred to here are the firmware packages used to control the hardware radios in the phone (voice, 3G/EDGE, GPS, WiFi, BT). When you flash a different radio, you're applying a different set of settings to the way all that functions.

That's generally completely a matter of personal opinion, some people will tell you that using a custom ROM is so critical that if you don't your grandchildren will walk funny, etc....whereas I am doing just fine running the stock ROM and just manually tweaking and hacking it to my liking, part by part. However, if you're going to be running Android on it, there's evidence that having a custom ROM vs the stock will help with some of the known problems with the Android ports that are available.

There's several builds available, and all of the current ones are remarkably stable compared to the first attempts. But, I believe that that there's still not any that are absolutely 100% fully-functional...each has some minor drawback or caveat, like BT or 3G or the camera not working right, but usually that's the only issue(s). Also, it's been a couple of days since I checked on those, so they may have come even farther since then. One common drawback to all of them though is the heaaavvvy battery drain...but this is also being addressed as quickly as possible. And yes, in every build the apps and marketplace seem to be working just as they would on any factory android install.

That seems to have become the final frontier for Android on the HD2...the release of a fully stand-alone ROM. Trust me, they are working on that, there's tons of members here drooling and waiting for that exact thing. It requires a completely different method of loading Android into memory, so there's a lot more kinks to work out

Wow, thank you so much sirphunkee, you sir are a scholar with your detailed response. Anyways, I apologize but I am intrigued by your response and more questions evolve. Once my HD2 comes I assume it will have a older ROM version and a official T-Mobile Update will be available for me. Now, I'm just wondering would I need to worry about what radios I need or will that be taken care of for me.
Also, I'm still a little confused on the whole radio aspect. For example, in this picture located here:
hxxp://support.t-mobile.com/doc/images/tm54430/tm54430_06.gif
The image version is different one is 2.10.531.1 and the other 2.13.531.1. Are these the radio versions or is this like the ROM version. If so how do I find out what my Hd2s radio is? I mean before I flash a rom how do I find out the radio it contains? For example on your HD2, sirphunkee, in your signature, you have:
ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE/5.2.21889 (Stock 6.5)
Sense: 2.5.2012
Radio: 2.08.50.08_2
So I assume that you don't have the latest stock ROM right? Also, what does the WWE mean in your ROM version. Would you recommend me updating my HD2 to the latest stock ROM or not?
Also, I read before you flash a phone you need to install HSPL3 on the phone. This is what I'm told is a bootloader. But then Im also told that usually this bootloader is paired with official or leaked roms so that each SPL matches the ROM, so if I need to flash a HSPL3 on my HD2 before I flash a custom ROM do I need to redo it everytime? I mean the HSPL3 is supposedly hard bootloader that survives a hard reset so it won't be wiped from the device until I overwrite it so does that mean I need reflash it everytime I get a new rom so it matches the ROM?
Anyways, sirphunkee, you mention tweaking the stock ROM, would you recommend BSB tweaks or something else because I read about it and users have discovered that they lose some functions after tweaking their phones. Also would I need to install this if I just plan to tweak the original/stock rom?
Furthermore, is Android on the HD2 currently run over/on top of the WM OS so could that be the cause of the heavy battery drain? Also, is the Android OS on the HD2 booted through an exploit in the firmware of the HD2? If so could this be patched? Just a personal opinion of everyone here do you believe that Android on the HD2 that is flashed onto the HD2's NAND itself will be possible/could this final frontier be achieved?
Again I would like to sincerely thank you for everyone's patience with me, especially sirphunkee. Thank you.
No problem!

Most of the HD2's built or shipped in the past 2 months have the newer ROM on them, but even if yours doesn't then yes you can just go to the T-Mobile site and get the newer one.
Both of the stock ROM's have the radio(s) included, so you don't have to worry about it if you just stay with one of those ROM's. If you flash a custom ROM it (usually) won't have a radio included, it'll just use whatever radio was already on your phone (i.e. whatever one came with the stock ROM originally). You can flash to different radio versions....ONLY ones that are clearly labeled as being compatible with the US HD2...doesn't matter if you're running a stock or custom ROM, but it does require HSPL first before a radio can be flashed.
Also, I'm still a little confused on the whole radio aspect. For example, in this picture located here:

The original stock T-Mobile US ROM (yes, the one I'm running currently) is 2.10.531.1 ("2.10" for short), and the newer one that's been released is 2.13...so that pic you linked there just shows the stock upgrade utility about to upgrade a ROM to the new version (with an included radio).
You can tell what ROM/Radio is on your phone by reading the little text that appears on the bottom of the screen during bootup, and you can also access that info through a settings option once the phone is running.
"WWE" = "WorldWide English"....just means that I have an english-based ROM. Other languages are available by applying ROM's specifically built for that language, but I honestly don't even know if any exist for the T-Mobile HD2, I think they're only available for the euro model.
Since it's very easy to flash the upgraded stock ROM, if your phone comes with the older one I would just suggest running that for a few days and see if it gives you any headaches....if so, then just go ahead and flash to the newer one. There's a number of threads in this section that discuss the differences in the stock ROM's, and the advantages/disadvantages of each. Regardless of which stock ROM you have, the process to flash to a custom ROM is the same either way (HSPL, etc).
Also, I read before you flash a phone you need to install HSPL3 on the phone. This is what I'm told is a bootloader. But then Im also told that usually this bootloader is paired with official or leaked roms so that each SPL matches the ROM, so if I need to flash a HSPL3 on my HD2 before I flash a custom ROM do I need to redo it everytime?

HSPL is "permanent", in the sense that it remains on your phone until you manually flash a different HSPL (like flashing back to stock SPL should you need to return the phone for warranty reasons). Once you have HSPL (yes, a hard bootloader) on your phone (HSPL3 being the latest/best to use), you can flash all the different custom ROMs or radios that you want, without having to apply HSPL again.
Anyways, sirphunkee, you mention tweaking the stock ROM, would you recommend BSB tweaks or something else because I read about it and users have discovered that they lose some functions after tweaking their phones. Also would I need to install this if I just plan to tweak the original/stock rom?
Click to expand...

There a bunch of different things you can to to tweak a stock ROM, or to futher tweak a custom one, and BsB is just a nice tight convenient collection of some of the more common ones. I use BsB and don't have any issues related to it, but I also skip a few of the settings in it ("tap time" for example) that have caused issues for other users. Besides BsB, I also use HD2Tweak, JWMD Icon Changer, CHT/CHTE, as well as a whole list of other stand-alone tweaks that come in the form of cab files, or manual registry hacks...some are related to performance or function, while some are strictly visual or style tweaks.
Furthermore, is Android on the HD2 currently run over/on top of the WM OS so could that be the cause of the heavy battery drain? Also, is the Android OS on the HD2 booted through an exploit in the firmware of the HD2? If so could this be patched? Just a personal opinion of everyone here do you believe that Android on the HD2 that is flashed onto the HD2's NAND itself will be possible/could this final frontier be achieved?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I originially thought the same (that Android ran in parallel with WM and that was causing the batt drain), but from what I read it actually shuts down WM when it runs, so I guess that isn't the cause of the drain...but honestly I haven't been able to keep up with all the finer details of the Android porting that's going on. And yes, a version of Androd that will load straight to NAND at bootup is the final hurdle I was talking about, and that's exactly what a number of dev's are trying very hard to make happen....I suspect that a breakthrough in that is right around the corner, but I'm no dev so take that with a grain of salt!
Hope that helps! It will be a lot easier once you have the unit in-hand and can play with it yourself. Also be sure to look over this thread (if you haven't already): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663845
Thank you again sirphunkee! Anyways I just got my hd2 and for the most part I like it. Though, I have a question, how can I backup my contacts so that after a new rom install I dont need to relink their facebook accounts again? Basically, I don't have the same names for my contacts, I only have first names so I have to redo it manually one by one and I want to use activesync to do it but it's telling me I need Outlook. Why do I need Outlook? Isn't that a stupid outdated email application? Also, how do you remove all the bloatware like blockbuster from the HD2? Is flashing a custom rom the only option?
Also, I noticed a problem that windows marketplace apps seem to not install. I try to install Skyfire and I see the progress bar and it goes to like 3/4 of the way and never goes past that.
An unrelated question I want to install HSPL3 I have a SPL 2.10.000 on my Stock 2.13 T-Mobile I'm wondering since in the instructions it tells me, that:
*YOU CAN NOW CHOOSE WHICH VERSION OF SPL OR HARDSPL YOU WANT TO FLASH TO YOUR PHONE*
*You can only select between SPL2.08.0000 or 2.08.HSPL. This is to avoid people with 1024LEO's installing an incompatable version and bricking their device*
What exactly am I suppose to pick? A SPL or HSPL? I mean I want to run Android but will this HSPL interfere with my stock ROM? Also, can someone give me like specific instructions on what I need to pick in the installer?
anyone have a idea? I'd like to experiment with android but i wanna make sure i have the right settings to i dontt have a brick in my hands after I'm done.

If you're just going to put android on the phone, you don't need to mess with H/SPL at all...you only need that if you're going to flash to a custom winmo ROM before putting Android on there.

I think what that thread is saying is that having a custom ROM is what helps with the stability of Android, not just putting HSPL3 on there (unless that's buried in that thread somewhere that I missed...). But yes, putting a custom ROM on the phone would have the prerequisite of HSPL anyway.
I don't have a custom ROM or even HSPL on my HD2, and I'm currently using the Desire v5 build of Android on here. It seems to run very stable, but I haven't yet gotten a few things working on it (i.e. 3G)...I can't say if a custom ROM would make those things work, but I can say it doesn't ever crash or hang or seem to slow down at all.
I just wanted you to know that HSPL wasn't mandatory for you to be able to try out Android on your phone.
Ok thank you so much sirphunkee again. Anyways, I'm wondering if you know why my weather will not update now when I ask it to on a Wifi connection. I try to update it and just says that its a connection error. And also my windows marketplace app installs seem to stall on the 3/4 complete and they never finish. Could you perhaps help me with that?
Lastly, I was wondering would you be able to tell me if I wanted to put a custom ROM on my HD2 what setting do I need to put on my HD2 for a successful flash?
FIND THE "ANDROID ON HD2" THREAD everything is explained.
