Hi, just recieved my HTC HD2 yesterday, and have been reading these forums all day, there are some really cool themes and stuff for this phone. Could somebody please talk me through simply how to load them. I have checked my ROM, and its not the latest version. Do I need to update it ? How do I do it ? do i need to load the files onto my PC first ?? Please somebody talk me through this in a simple way. I love the phone, but am frustrated that I cant get any of these cool things onto it !!!!
Thanks Melvin

You can't have been reading very much, there are 2 seperate forums, one for roms and one for themes, both have guides on everything you want to try!
I have been reading alot, but it doesn't really explain how you get the ROM, Themes, etc. from the link to your phone, I have managed to do the HSPL, but cant get any further, I have downloaded winzip files, but dont know what to do with them, do I have to download to my PC, or to my phone, Do I sync it, or just send the files to the phone. ?????????

hi im new to the WM6 thing im a long time PSP hacker taking on a new toy ^_^ there are many helpful and knoledgable people on this forum so i have decided to post here.
ok i have changed the gif file TMO_Startup.gif and befor it shows up i still get the lame ass T mobile logo for a second befor my new gif starts. is there a way to change that so i get my new gif and startup audio that i have customized with out the T mobile icon? i have been looking at forums all night and found nothing on this.
once more i only want that gif or png file CHANGED. i dont want to skip it i like my custom img poping up.
thanks ~LEE~
did you edit the registry key:
Code:
\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\GIFFile
to your new *.gif?
I left the original T-Mobile gif and made my own, then edited that registry key to reflect the new file's name. I've never had the T-Mo logo pop up on startup momentarily after that.
That first image is actually a splash file built into the ROM. It can only be changed by custom making one and then flashing that custom splash.
Link on how to do it.
Sweet hours waisted
lol ive been going threw every file on my device no wonder i couldnt find it thanks for the help. is it worth making a custom rom with the risk of killing my wing just for this tho hmmmm.
just make your own rom with ivan's EasyBakeOven
then use ivans link(the one he posted) get the file from Ttran follow the instruction to get your own custom splash screen. then go to the ROMBUILD_JustClean folder in ivans EBO and replace that PrimarySplash with the one you made
Thanks for the help and the link guys i think i may do this my next day off. gonna take time to learn about the ROM chipset on the wing and restoring PPC. i have never bricked a PSP and sure as hell dont want to brick my wing.
so far i OC to 234 MHZ
changed loading gifs and png files
added aps
edited some things in the reg
changed some opp sounds I.E. / keyboard = transformers
This can actually be change by making a cab to change it. I did it for my exgf's phone without a problem.
can you post how you did that
I made a cab with a cab editor. I think I used WinCE ... but there are a couple different ones out there...

I would also like to see this cab file mate and I am sure you have made a few.. So please share with the rest of us.
well, i mean, you have to put the graphic you want into the cab ... so its not like there's 1 generic cab that works magic!

Ok .. How about a few cabs please with your selection of graphics and if it isnt too much of a bother and if you have time ( I dont want to press you ) a small tutorial.
install WinCE cab manager and take a look at it. Most of it is pretty self explanatory .. I'll help you with any questions you have.

Go to www.thewingster.com and click on the ROMs link on the side. Then make sure you use the right side of that page (for the T-Mobile Wing), and select your ROM. Once you find one you like, there will most likely be a "How to Flash" link on the ROM's page. There ya go!
There's some more ROM's on XDA that I haven't added to The Wingster, but most of them are on there. Enjoy!
It is in the FAQ
you should use this guide
I used the "A" method to flash a .nbh to my Herald

Download the app at www.freewarepocketpc.net/omarket
...or I'll tell your boss what you've really been doing your "training sessions"
ok so i went to that site, downloaded the application via my pc.. I extracted it.. sent it to my phone in a file i named cab tried to install it. .and it keeps giving me the eroor message that " there is no application associated with "XXX" run the app first then open this file within the application.. .
so can some one help a brother out please..looking around and everyone says install the cab file.. but i promise you i dont see a cab file.
thanks in advance
you aren't unpacking the cab on the pc are you? the pc will see cabs as archives, but they aren't. put the cab on your phone and run it from there.
oops more noobs

yeah i just downloaded the app on my phone..

I am also getting "the file Arkswitch cannot be opened" during start up
ok so I have been using the stock rom and all the stuff on my phone but it keeps getting bugged out of the screen gets unlocked randomly and does stuff when its in my pocket which is very annoying and a friend told me android just kills winmo..
but im looking at this forum and its just overwhelming..i see errors i see solutions i see roms i see this that ...I have NO IDE where to start!
so I got a little list with questions
:
1.if I instal any android version, do I lose all my programs,contacts basically information i have ?
2.how much better is it for an average user to go to andoid? average i mean i dont tweak it that much just used cookie home tab and bsb to upgrade performance but that is it..
3.how do i go on about installing apps on my android? i mean does it use bsb and cht? or like games from windows marketplace? how do i instal stuff like poker games and all the nonsense?
4.where do i get the most easy tutorial on how to put andoid on my phone? I dont want to read a whole page long of explanations on how to's i just wanna instal all the necessary apps or whatever and be done with it(i know im lazy)
so yeah any1???
if any1 would have the time to help me on msn id appreciate it ALOOTTT

Don't do this if you're too lazy to do some reading. You can potentially brick your phone if you are not 100% sure of what you are doing, and I know it's overwhelming the first time, but it's worth reading all these technicalities.
Just follow the stickies, or stick with winmo.
thanks for the tip..but updating my rom was way more easy then they showed..thats what i meant sorrry...
like when i first got the phone i went here and was like WOAH so many stickies etc...then i just downloaded the stuff i needed (hspl) and did what i thought made sense and it all worked perfectly...so the reading isn't all that needed imo..thats why i want a link to some basic introductions on what to do
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
shows an easy step by step how too
its all installed on an SD card so it doesnt touch your current set-up (windows mobile)
install 1 see how you like it if you dont just reboot your phone back to windows easy
and i mean easy just follow the steps like im sure u did with hspl and trying different roms.
JR
huh so andoid is installed OVER winmo? not instead of? this got me confused!
yeah so if u dont have an sd card u cant run android! best of starting with a nicely formatted sd card with only the android files on it, just remember to choose the right radio
hmmmm but why doesnt it run instead of winmo if i may ask? wont that make it way faster? :O but damn that sucks haha my sd card is full of stuff i need i guess ill put it all on my pc for the time being then! so how do i go about choosing a right radio? i never understood that haha i think ima just use the latest one i read on the tutorial
now that i thnk about it..you have to boot up android EVERYTIME you turn off your phone? that sucks :/
but at least if you run android you might just like it wayyyyy better???? enough to put up with booting after windows is loaded, try n see buddy,,, try n see
Check this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380
damn i hate that i have to download radios, roms etc as well for this to work :/ arggg...i just want a freaking stock rom etc lmao darnit i guess i have alot of trial and error to go trough

Buddy if you need to be spoon-fed you are in the wrong forum. How do you come in here and give orders how you want to be helped. Sorry xda is not for lazy people. You gotta read bro. If you are that lazy plz buy an iphone. I can see above you have been given the must read links but you ignore.
And its not like you are a total noob here looking at your status. So then dont read. Go ahead and brick your device and run to your momma crying how custom roms and android killed your phone.
Mods please close this thread before someone gets hurt!

no it doesnt run from the phone, you have to manually start it eeach time you reboot the phone, if that is too much hassle then to be honest, you are best off either sticking to winmo or selling the phone and getting a proper android phone

well here there whine * i did read the must red thread BUT i came across some problems which is why i asked what or how to fix the code 260 error with RUU, if that is fixed then I'll be able to install a new radio and a new rom AND after that run the android ....i tried running A now but it just freezes and dies because i do not have the latest/best suited rom and radio to do the job...sorry if i do not know how this forum works the first few times i use it im not a nerd I agree, i do not know allot about pc's and phones and how the exactly work but I THOUGHT thanks to a forum dedicated to sharing and helping I could gain skills and knowledge so I do not have to ask new stuff the next time.
so if you wanna help please be my guest if you're going to cry about me then gtfo
