What's the success rate of installing touchflo?

Needa know before i flash my dopod c800/htc p4350
Dunno, but I haven't had any problems either installing it into the stock wing rom nor using it with the touch-it rom which has it built in.
I Did it last night with no problem.
I was afraid too, but finally decided to give it a try, and worked just fine. My Only complain is That I lost Voice Command.

LOL @ ITJE... you're the man!
Alot of your problems can be resolved by searching thru the forums people.... there is alot of information available, you just need to dedicate the time looking for it.
Geez, keep looking but stuck, and no voice command, the best I can get is installing V1.6 Cab, but nothing with the one on this thread.

hi all

newb here, my names chris and im from hagerstown MD im 20 and i just ordered a t mobile wing....just switched over from the sidekick lx....
cant wait for my wing to get here tomorrow. First off i have a few questions about modding my wing, ive tried to understand all the faqs and posts but im just not catching on. my goals are to get a custom layout with a custom pic for my backround with a diff. clock and ringtones from mp3s. possibly a mario game if possible. if anyone could walk me thru this id be very greatfull, thanks chris. p.s. i only have a 128mb sd card will i need larger?
You got alot to look forward to. As for games/emulation on the Herald is below par in my opinion. Games designed for Windows Mobile work great though. As for customization there is tons to do. First consider changing your rom. Plenty of options to choose from here. You also might want to invest in a little research on the benefits of HardSPL. If you wish to converse feel free to message me. I am in no way an expert but I have plenty of time to share what I have learned reading here if you want.
im really excited about getting it. ive checked out the rom stuff but i still dont really understand how it all works.....if you could point me in the right direction as to how i should do this in order from most important to least that would be great....i just know as of now i have to download,unzip,drag to phone,and manually start the programs....id just like to know for sure so i dont brick my phone. ive seen some accept donations for helpin out and id donate into a paypal accound or a sd card or whatever if someone cared to lay this all out for me and link me what im looking for etc. like i said i just want a custom layout or toolbar and ringers off my sd and pictures of my bike as backround....id like a mario game or somethin so when im bored at work i have a kill time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655&highlight=overclock
that helped me out alot
ok i think ive figured out alot from the forums now ive downloaded a morphgear emulator where can i get games for it and will i be ok using stock rom or will i need to reflash due to file sizes?

All I have to say, is there is a TON of information on this website to read through. I think I read and did some research for about 2-3 weeks before I actually hard spl'd my phone. I would recommend using the uspl method to flash first. It's safer so if you screw up, you don't brick your device. Once you start understanding more, you can Hard spl and then it's a lot easier to flash to different roms. That way you can try out all the roms out there to see which you like best. I used the uspl method and flashed to Open Touch v 3.0 biggy which I LOVED!
well i have my wing in hand and it rocks....unfortunately after ive decided to just do small mods first such as .cab etc. i realised i need active sync and my super retarded vista wont let me download anything grrrrrrr.
ok got my sync workin yesssssssss now i just need to figure out which file to store the cab files.....anywhere should be fine theoretically....

Yeah, what I do, is I made a folder called Cab Files on my sd card. I copy all cab files I want to install there. I also installed this cab file that keeps all your cab files in that folder after you install them. That way, when you flash to a different rom, you already have all your favorite cab files in that folder. There is no need to copy them from your computer to your phone. (When you usually install a cab file from your phone, the original cab file gets deleted) I included the cab file to keep your files.
sweet man now everything is up and runnin now im gonna figure out this clock glow and im already debating switching roms.....i cant get page pool mod to work soooo

Yeah, I used the clock glow thing too. All you do is copy all the files into your windows directory. It will ask you to overwrite them. Then, just do a soft reset, and presto!
i cant over write the original home files to glow the clock.....im not messin with it any more.....ill start looking into roms now

Ah, yeah...trust me on this one, you def. want to check out some different roms though. I would look into using the uspl method first though. It's safer than hard spl'ing, and it's relatively easy to flash to. Look up Open touch 3.0. There is a ton of info on how to flash to it. If you have any questions, just private message me.

is there any HTC HD2 Emulator ?

is there any HTC HD2 Emulator ?

Agree. Sashimi does a pretty decent job and works flawless with LEO. I change ROMs frequently and found this tool to be the best out there.

newbie questions.

Hi Guys,
Just got my new HD2 and wow, what a phone. I just retired a 3GS after about 12 month and wanted back to WM which I really missed. That said, the iPhone gave me some bad habbits that I need to break.
First thing I did was flash the HSPL ready for flashing some new roms but before I do that, I wanted to get used the WM again. My last was 6.5 on a kaiser so this is similar but different.
Anyway, couple of things. First is the Facebook app. On my iphone, when someone had posted XYX Name Likes the Group "WM 4 Me", the "WM 4 Me" portion was linked. I dont see that in the WM app. Am I missing something or is it that you cant just jump to that group? Any tips here.
Next thing is if anyone can recomend a good program to remote erase all data if I loose it or if there is anything out there to enrypt my sd card to make it useless without a password?
Last, is there a way to get the HD2 into landscape mode? I assumed it would be automatic but... Thats what I get for assuming.
Thanks in advance guys.

stock rom isnt landscapeable, some cooked roms are, but its never been released like that, it was a test rom that leaked with the landscaped tabs and the chefs cooked them in.
I'm running the stock ROM and it's correct there's no native landscape rotation built in, but I've been using the cab attached below, and it works great for putting sense and even WM apps (like file explorer!) into landscape when you physically rotate the phone. Just put the cab on your SD card, run it (install to phone), then soft-reset.
Hey thanks guys. Just installed the cab and bingo. Dont know why they didnt send it from the factory that way?
Sam, going to se if I can get hold of that remotetracker and give it a shot.
So far, happy with the stock rom so I might just tweak it a little bit. Would still like to figure this Facebook app out. Is it an actual app or a mobile webpage I'm looking at? Also need to find a new gps since my old favorite site (gpsunderground)seems to have shut down.
Thanks again.
remotetracker
Cheers mate. If you have any must haves, let me know. I'm searching for footprints and I should be done.

HD2 arrives tomorrow, what are the first 5 things I should do? :D

After pondering which phone to get for months, and whilst everything pointed to getting the Desire... I just couldn't resist!! I'm a slave to WinMo after my HTC Diamond
So any way, it arrives, I have a silent orgasm, open it up...

1.) Kiss it
2.) Hug it
3.) Stroke it
4.) Love it
5.) Wipe the mess from the first 4 off of it ....
But seriously ...
1.) I would start looking at what custom ROM you want on it, the Stock ones tend to SUCK.
2.) Make a full backup of your SD card.
3.) If your are gonna Flash a custom ROM HSPL it .
4.) Make a list and start Downloading your "Essential" Apps you want so you can have them ready, while the phone is getting its first full charge.
5.) See the first list .....
1) Sell it.
2) See point n.1
3) See point n.2
4) See point n.3
5) See point n.4
I'm kidding....
install these...
1.Coreplayer/TCPMP
2.FPSEce
3.Cookies Home Tab&CHT Editor
4.Some wallpapers/JMWD icon changer/and some icons
5.Skyfire browser
There's loads more, but that's a good start..
I've not bothered with a custom rom yet, as i've not had any trouble with the stock rom, but there's a load of custom roms and it looks like there's good progress being made with the Android port.
if you're in the uk I'd also recommend myplayer (iplayer and digital tv)
1. Find a decent Rom, or update to latest official release.
2. Cookies Home Tab
3. Install Opera Mobile 10
4. Get Resco Explorer
5. Get G-Alarm
Tip
Hi!
I would:
1. Try it for a week without tweaking it in any way. (then you have something to compare it to when you start tweaking and so on)
2. Meantime install Resco explorer, CorePlayer and apps you need.
3. Take a look at Co0kies Home Tab
4. Make sure to drain the battery a couple of times to get the best out of it.
5. Now you can start looking for a cooked ROM
1. Install a screenprotector and don't carry it around without it before.
2. HSPL
3. NRG ROM
4. Install ur software
5. Love it.

would do the same
just add pocketplayer to the appslist, much better than the standard htc player to listen to music ^^
Well I would suggest 5 steps to a beginner:
1. Backup your Outlook calender and contacts folders.
2. Sync these to the phone.
3. Read about what "cabs" are
4. 5 must have apps: a. Opera Mobile 10; b. copilot (navigation apps are like religion - I like this one); c. Resco explorer; d. Omarket (for freeware); e. AEButton+ (great for getting the volume keys to do extra things, like up/down)
5. Then explore XDA software forum and slowly get used to the device. Don't try to do too much at the start
The great thing about the windows mobile devices is you can change nearly everything; the bad thing about winmo is you can change nearly everything !

Well, assuming that you're not a stranger in ROM-flashing, just flash a into a custom ROM as fast as you can, really! Sorry to differ, but stock ROMs are mediocre. You can try THIS one.
These guys are VERY wise, indeed.

I love that quote! Can I use it in my sig? I'll credit you
As for the OP, when I first got mine, I download a shed load of apps and tried all the tweaks going, basically completely changed everything. I then made a note of the apps and changes I wanted to keep/were stable and did a hard reset and reintalled the good ones, making sure I wouldn't have anything that would crash my phone later down the line.

Feel free to use the Quote - no credit needed
I used the first week to install all kinds of recommended apps, without worrying about maybe ****ing things up.
Then after I managed to **** things up, I knew what apps I liked and did a hard reset and set it up correctly with just those apps.
I highly recommend the LMT launcher, which allows to start apps with gestures.

May I ask, what difference does it make when changing the rom from the original? What are the advantages?
Also can anyone help me with installing the ps eumlator and how to convert the games i have from my original ps cd's.
Some great replies and suggestions here guys thanks a lot!!
Chance is I'll have it running under a new ROM within an hour... Even if the stock is good enough, I'm just compelled to.
Can anyone suggest a good screen protector??

Well, I would suggest reading the ROMs thread, there are alot of advantages, some apply to more people than others ...
More or Less apps cooked into the ROM (hard resets give you more or less)
Customized
Some are more stable, and faster, some are faster and less stable some are slower but more stable ...
There is really too much about custom ROMs to sum up here, all I can say is , Read Read Read, and decide for yourself .....
thanks for that info watcher, much appreciated. Would it be ok if i pm you i have another question.

No problem .... PM away ....
I would use it a for a couple of weeks without changing anything. Give yourself some time to get used to the phone "as it is". After that, when you "own" the phone, I would gradually modify/expand it with some software/roms/tweaks.
The idea behind this is that you have to have a sollid fundament to work from (imo). If you don't have this base experience, there's the risk that you keep searching for the right customization... forever
my 2 cents
