Newbie - What can be done?

Hey guys new to the forum - i've had a HD for about 3 months now and done nothing with it just used it as i would a nokia 402! lol I chose this over the iphone simply because of the keybad option when typing texts etc.
What cool things can be done to make my HD better?
My HD runs slow all the time -it's not loaded up with junk or any files at all really and yet it runs slow when the hardware specs suggest it shouldnt. I'm on orange (so prolly got a bs orange rom, right?)
Can you get cool games for the HD for when im at work like you can the iphone?
Many Thanks.

I recomend having a look in the ROM dev forum and wait until dutty releases his 3.9xt ROM.
If you flash this rom you will think you have a new phone!
Read up on crackwhores guide to flashing as i'm guessing you will have the stock spl.
So you have to flash an official HTC 1.54 ROM first. Then flash duttys.
I may sound complicated but it really isn't.
Also, if i were you i'd use USPL as appose to HSPL as the latter voids your phone warranty!
Jake

so you think i should wait for a new release from Dutty?

Well he's got 3.8 out atm but said he'll upload 3.9 tonight so ye, i'd wait a day tbh.
Also, there have been some problems with people using backup&restore programs for sms, contacts and things so if you can sync your calendar and contacts using outlook that would be even better.
His new ROM will also be UC compatible which is going to make installing all your main cabs the easiest thing in the world
Jake

Flash some different chef roms and add a little spice to your device!

are there any decent games and things like there are for iphones?

Are you using search because your questions have been answered many times all over this site look above and type what you want in search you will be surprised by what you can learn or you can check the wiki as well they even list what works and what doesnt including games

Read all you can about flashing and then, try new ROM's.
My ROM if Laurentius L26, and I'm really satisfied with it...
Also take a look on apps to install...

Im dim.... what's flashing and how would I load duttys new rom version, can I break my phone in doing so??....sorry

Yeah sorry i made this thread because it's quick and easy to keep an eye on - i'm at work you see and they wouldnt appreciate it if i was on one site for 50-60mins searching around, i perhaps should have stated that in my first thread. Sorry.

Mate, the best thing to do is search and learn...
Flashing is changing the ROM (software) of your mobile. You can change the stock ROM by a lot of cooked ROMs that are posted here at the site.
But until you decide on what to do, read carefully all threads to understand how it works...

i've flashed it to Dutty's XT Turbo 3.9... it's pretty nice. I was just asking about the gsensor games lol

there are plently.. at least for starters u are in the right forum !!!!
search around look around.. ask questions at QnA
you can take a look at my humble blog too... there are some useful freewares made by folks here mentioned there too

help noob, best hero rom on 32a magic?

sorry for my english
im looking for a hero rom, stable and speedy....with no problems if possible...can you suggest me one plz???
tnx you all!!!
great forum great staff!!!!
we follow you from italy

this should also be in the Q&A section... This question has been asked about 50 times ... the search button is cool
take a look at the threads that start with [ROM] I'm willing to bet somewhere in each of those threads you'll find more than one post saying "This is the [best/fastest/most stable] rom out" and if you look at who said it they most likely said it on a few other roms too thats because each person uses their phone differently and each rom can either be good or not for that specific person.
then theres also the style if your a fan of hero then hero roms are gonna be the best, you also have the live/die for Cyanoden people... can you guess what they consider to be the best rom??? and now theirs tattoo, blur and pulse style roms coming out so that just adds to the pile.
The only thing you can really do is flash until your happy, which its a good thing that it takes 30sec to flash a new rom, to tell you the truth i flashed a good 20 roms before I stuck with the one I use now and I bet someone would disagree that its the best rom but from all the ones ive used for what i do on my phone its the best for me
so instead of asking people that most likely use their phone for completely opposite things you do, I suggest you just flash a few and figure out whats best for what you use if its not better then the last one you flashed then restore [thats what the backups for ] and so on...

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:

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)
if any one wants to know, i used max energy Co0kie Energy ROM
with the latest froyo stone android file thing
and a dual booter, ran into a few issues, but got it working

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.

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.

[Q] Noob considering custom ROMs

Hi im a 15 year old noob and i own the HTC Wildfire im living in the UK on the 3 network and my wildfire is currently on 2.1 update 1 and there are many things this has stopped me from doing. And to be honest im really tired of waiting for this so called 2.2 update which i was expecting to arrive in october before i even bought the phone and doing extensive research it seems this update isnt in any rush whatsoever. I currently have a 2 year warranty one i would like to keep . I hear rooting and flashing my phone will void this as the carrier will see i have modified the ROM however if my phone were to break would it be possible for me to put the stock rom back on to hide this? Also do they really check that well? And if an official update does ever arrive is there an option to return to it? I would also like to know what the best method of rooting and flashing along with the best ROM. Thank you very much even you reading this all without replying is much appreciated. But of course if you reply i fkn love you (no homo).

Hey, I doubt they check that well and you can always install a RUU (ROM update utility/Goldcard) off shipped ROMs to restore, which leaves no traces (I think).
As for the best ROM, in my opinion it is CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2, as for me it is the quickest, it has the most tweaks, and everything works really. It has a lot of tweaks and fixes, and suggestions from the CyanogenMod community are being constantly implemented. If you want a "lighter" version you can try OpenFire, but for me CyanogenMod is a lot quicker and better to use. The only thing is, neither of these ROMs have HTC Sense, which you will not miss once you find the alternatives. I'm using LauncherPro Plus with Beautiful Widgets. Sure the HTC stuff looks pretty, but it's so freaking slow! If you really need a Sense ROM I'd suggest WildPuzzleRom 8 as it's Froyo based also.
Hope I helped

Ok so going on what youve said i now want to install CyanogenMod 6.1 RC2, what do i do now?

Hello im 19 years old, im from sweden..... and think this thread is completley wrong section of the forum.
To understand what I mean read this: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/a-reminder-from-the-xda-moderator-team/
keep your questions in the right section witch in this case is general.
also why would you write you age and so on no one cares! absolutly not under the developement part of the forum!
to add something that isnt offtopic in my post I got a short statement:
If you absolutly want to keep the garantue and to be sure of that the phone wont turn into a useless pice of plastic: DO NOT ROOT OR FLASH ANYTHING FROM THE XDA-FORUM, CLICK THE "X" IN YOUR UPPER RIGHT CORNER! FAST before the phone explode!!!!!

He's only stating the obvious, this kind of post doesn't belong to the WF android Developpement sub-forum =/

Even a noob without reading the rules, one would already know to post this question in the General sub forum.
I was, and am still an android noob, however i learnt to flash, mod apk's and theme up my phone like crazy, just by simply reading and following instructions carefully. It's simple.

[Q] First Timer Requesting Assistance

Thank you for this website and all the helpful information it provides. I was a long time apple user and was fed up with the ios so jumped on the bandwagon of android.
I rooted my phone it it a Telus i337M with the OTA update on it.
My question is what would the best stock to put on? I know it is a vague question ive been trying to do some research but i dont see anything that says it is compatible with the update that recently came out and I am a but nervous proceeding without expert advise. I like to have more battery life.
Id like to get rid of the bloatware as most probably do and TrulyClean 1.6 seems to be the choice. The installation is what baffles me.
If there is any information that i am missing that should be provided I have no problems with that.
Thank you again to who ever replies for your time. once i get the hang of this ill be happy to offer help to others who are in my shoes.

Too bad it your first post, best threads are frowned upon. Just try a couple of different roms and see what you like. Didn't people like different things. I've heard vision x is good.

Read the "pinned" threads in the general and Q & A sections. In them, you will find a list of available ROMs. Read the OPs of each ROM thread to see what they have to offer.
This thread might help you as well...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2295557
And if your firmware is MF3, you can not put any ROM on your phone (yet). Make sure you do a lot of reading before you brick your phone.

Some roms display "4G" in the status bar when you're connected to LTE. Do a speed test and see if your speed is less than it was before.
