Performance-increasing apps/first steps - HD2 General

Hello.
Yap, I'll get a HD2 soon. But I'm new and very interested in this matter, so:
can you tell me what to do first? Which Apps or Roms are must haves?
the performace is the most important point for me. I've heard from for example the FPUenabler, an OC tool, etc. But where can I find it and which should I use?
Thanks for helping me.
Greets.

....*bump*

Hey there... Welcome!
Its a bit difficult to say which apps are upsolute musts, simply because everybody has different tastes and needs. Appart from a couple of utilities that i allways install on my phone (hd2tweak,bsb...) the other apps serve my needs and might not be important for somebody else. As for roms, there are a lot of great roms out there, but as you are new to all this I would recommend to stay with the stock rom for a few days, play with it and then move on to deep waters. I am sure you will install many nonsense in the beginning that will eventually lead you to a hard reset (or you will do one by mistake like most of us did in the beginning... for instance the "clear storage" option=hard reset) In a months time, I am sure you will be able to decide what is a must for you and then you can experiment with a few roms as well...
Take care and good luck

Chainfire's 3D Driver patch will greatly increase performances in 3D :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592663

these are my exprience for you . .
0. install all patch from official update.
1. install Netcf 3.5 <------Actually , It will slow down your HD2 a little.
2. install BsB 1.6 <------ Very useful tweak .
3. install 3D driver
4. install and excute FPU Enabler (If you want more more speed .. )
5. Search and install app. about CPU speed controller like sppedbooster
(not confirm!!), Cause HTC maybe set a constrain on CPU speed.
6.flash your HD2's ROM....

Need a Rom

Hi everyone i had the touch it 2.3 rom in my t-mobile wing. I like it for a while because of the cube But i see no point of it SO I SWITCH back to its original t-mobile rom. I search around for simple roms and i found PDAVIET.. I dont really know much about it but i know its a 3rd party rom.. The only things is that i cannot find one that doesnt have the cube in it. Any suggestion guys!
You could make your own its sorta fun if you follow the guideline. I Tried them all and decided I just wanted a trimmed stock rom. I removed the VoiceCommander and My5Fave and a few other things. Applied a the 4mb pagefile mod and I'm very happy. Don't get me wrong all the popular ROM's are extremely well built and highly functional. But I like my system simple and not cluttered with more than I use. I just backup my favorite cab files as Read Only on my memory card and install them as I need them.
PDAViet has the cube...
Ok, I have a solution for you. Try Open Touch here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347057
There are two versions (with and without cube) and both are very nice, easy and simple install, nice interface, no big issues to worry about. It is based on ITJE's 2.3 ROM, which in turn I believe is the same a stock ROM, only modified! Good luck.

Flashmore,
Just tested your rom very quickly, it's fast and stable so far and just few minor issues:
1. Start > Settings > Input is not available. You can activate it by deleting "Redirect" under HKLM > ControlPanel > Input
2. Connection Setup opens and shuts down - so I can't set it up.
Another thing, do you know if we can increase the number of 'shortcuts' in the home screen from 9 to 20?
i'm using ur rom right now and i think that thus far it's quite stable, (for the 45 mins i've been testing it)but it seems to be quite slow (dont know y)...i'll provide some more feedback later. thanks alot

Flash, thank you man very very nice ROM, applied your cab and everything is ok, fast and stable.
Flashmore,
You moved from Blackstone to Leo ;o)
One question, which BT stack is in your ROM? MS or Widcomm?
As stated in your signature, I got an HD2 ROM addiction. But to make me keeping you as my doctor, it is gonna be tough as XannyTech's ROM are really addictive too because of their speed.
Thank you for your hard work.

Flashmore,
two questions:
1 - In v2.2 u say PP is set to 26MB. How free memory ram is avalaible with this setting?
2 - Have u added a manila doc tab in u new v2.2?
Thanks in advance.

Flashmore, I have been using your HD roms, and has been loving as they are stable and fast. Looks like you have done it again for the HD2!
I have tried a handful of HD2 ROMS (WM6.5.x series) since the availability of SSPL and now HardSPL, and had experienced system freezes and even device auto-hardsetting.
I have started using your rom since v1.1, and now v2.2, and I have yet to experience any freezes or auto-hardsetting of my HD2. The auto-hardreset issue was really getting on my nerve and I became very paranoid about the hard-reset issue.
I have a suggestion though. It is possible for you to make set the band to default to Auto instead of the default GSM (2G)?
Anyway, keep up the great work, and I look forward to new updates from you!

------------------------------------------------------------------------
downloaded the 72 mb file hope thats the right one...
see a new program pagepool?
for wath is this? (make your phone run more graphical programs?)
cant edit the rom tho....
Default I set a pagepool (16MB Manila ROM) which is enough for most of the flashers.
If you want you can increase/decrease the value. It is a sort of RAM cache for frequent used files.

2.3.x or 4.2.x?

Hey guys
i've got a simple question to that who are litte experts in the HD2
First i tested WP7, that was smooth but the market games and apps are so poor.
I'd like Android, so i switched to. Help me please xda, witch android base did u prefer for daily use? I need a stable,fast (even in apps), still supported and continued devoloped rom with a low power consum, mutch free ram as possible (without zram) and DataOnEXT cause the nand is just to small. I also always listen to music, so the HD2 should be loudest as possible from base (scripts are okay but first the true soundchip performance needs to be good)
Should i take a 2.3.x based Rom (i thought there are better and more devoloped) or a 4.2.x (using Pixeldroid atm) ?
Hope u can help
Steps to decide which one works best for you:
1- Download a 2.3 rom and a 4.x rom.
2- Flash one of them, install apps and use normally for two or three days (notice performance)
3- Use any backup app to back up your stuff.
4- Install the downloaded 2.3 rom.
5- Reinstall the app you used to back up, and restore your stuff.
6- Use this rom for about two days and notice performance.
7- Compare the performance of the two roms.
8- ?????
9- Profit!!
Yeah picked HyperDroid now, its amazing.
Thx for the feedback

Well we will use this as discussion thread ,soon I will make an update ,where we will have more space and timescape removed .
Thanks Vasishta,
Here are some of my suggestions, if you can able to incorporate in to new update. I am eagerly waiting for an update.
- xLoud integration. This ROM has very low call / speaker volume. xLoud really helps just like in X10S. Please include this mod.
- Bravia - optional.
- More system space - no need of email2, exchange2, facebook integration, stock browser, notes, redundant versions of notes/clocks/voice... etc.
- Newer version of xperia home.
- signed lite gapps - for google now. (or) updated gapps to include google now.
Also, there is one NAND backup file available in XDA based on X10Z ROM. It says, it includes xloud, bravia and also supports full hd games.
I am yet to download and try this.

Hi!
Hello! Thank you! I use actively the ROM, works fine. I've tried a lot, and so far it runs the most stable. Seeking extending the battery life yet, because could be longer. Has no more than 14 hours to 1 hour internet usage, but it may be that the average number of half-read it. Sorry for the bad language use, is not my native language.

Hi vashista,
Thanks for a wonderful JB rom. I flashed your small apps package. But it doesnt seem to be working fine.. I can launch small apps by opening the slauncher app from app drawer... but if I long press the home button.. i dont see any small apps popping up.. is there anything missing.. like any small apps mod that needs to be installed or something, coz when i press the informations button in the slauncher it says the launcher is just an app and we need to install the SSmallAppX mod to get going... Plz guide me on this
Thanks...

- Try Nova launcher instead of Xperia Home.
- Remove all unnecessary system applications like facebook integration, email, exchange, notes... etc to make atleast 50MB space in system memory.
- Keep atleast 90MB free in internal memory. move all other apps to SD card.
- Try Game Booster applciation to toggle to gaming mode.

Great work from vashista..
Hi !
Thanks for your ROM, I have used it for a couple of week now and it is the best one I tried, but there are some things that are a little bit annoying:
The equalizer in walkman doesn't work.
Your Rom is smooth and fast but not as zahid5h's ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2212260 Could you be able to make it faster?
The Camcorder that you know, but will you port the camera from the Xperia Z?
I will try now your new beta rom.
Thank you for your work and I hope you will continue in that way :fingers-crossed:
Somebody can help me to install the ROM please ???
thx
i've tried to install custom ROM yesterday,and i have error ( status 7 )
maybe i have use tutor how to remove in file folder META-INF - com - google - android - update script
Thanks mate if you could me to learn me.
sorry i am noob and for my bad english
You have to flash the rom in the recovery, you also flash the gapps.
Then you reboot your phone and let it setup.
When you have set your phone, you flash the addon.
Check - XPERIA X10 Android Development - New Release Uses Fera kernel -XPERIA X10Z-10.1.A.1.434 - FINAL STABLE RELEASE(1/5/13)[cm10]
Thanks for the new release but when I launch Walkman. It tells me that "L'application "Appareils" s'est arrêté", in English it can be something like "The application "Devices" stopped". And it is not like yours on your screenshots.
The app Note does not work either.
What kind of video file can we read (mp4, avi, ...)?
I don't manage to make small apps work.
It's the things I know they don't work until now, maybe I'll find some others.
Thanks for all the other things that work.
Thanks for your great work, the rom is smooth, fast and stable.

This is because the system partition is small and not all the ADDON package files are being flashed
the data partition is 465mb and the system partition is 352mb, logically they should be the other way around.
hopefully someone will post a solution
