Hello guys! how is it goingg? i have a question about the Artemis rom that is HD2 ROM Development i hope u guys can help me with this, well im going to buy the hd2 in 2 weeks in t-mobile usa but im wondering if i install the Artemis rom from here xda developer would i lose my exclusive programs such as the swype app, blockbuster app etc which only t-mobile usa would have on hd2? or they would still be there? i hope you can help me. thank you
can anyone help please??
You will lose them.
You may be able to locate the cabs here and install them again, though. I know the Swype cab is floating around somewhere.
you can find swype @ ppcgeeks.com, it works just fine with artemis

hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers
dakz
The simple answer is to flash a new rom. This will make your phone a standard diamond and remove the O2 branding
Internet explorer does not work in landscape. Most diamond's have Opera installed as the default browser which does switch to landscape
The new Rom should make your phone faster - the custom roms are usually tweaked for speed
If it's new, you are probably playing with your new toy a lot, so 1 day battery is about right
You could also try diamond tweak or advanced config from this forum. Both allow you to tweak in a user friendly way
There are sticky threads about these at the start of this very diamond forum
hey hays
firstly thanks for the reply..
So where do I or can I download the new rom and is it easy to 'flash' it? But before that i would want to know how to backup the current one just incase therex problems later!
Regarding the browser, i will try find the opera browser n download and make it the default, hoping that will work!
Right once i get those things done i will search the tweaks..
cheers so far
dakz
I downloaded Opera, including the new beta version from their website and yet it does not tilt to landscape when i turn the phone
Can someone who is able to browse the web in landscape plz tell me which version of Opera you are using?
thanks
opera browser landscape version??
no one willing to put an input??? Need to know the opera version!
I suggest you to backup files using spb backup and then flash the rom you like. It's easy, there is a fine tutorial. Probably you will have opera with it.
cheers
thanks for that
spent most of today just researching it around the forums, catching up on all the terminology that had been confusing me lol
I will download n flash a new ROM soon.. but I would like to backup my current one, which is 1.93.206.3 WWE and Radio version 1.00.25.05.
Anyone know where I can download these original ones?
thanks once again.
dakz
I know nothing about backuping whole rom, but I suggest you not to worry about that, there are few O2 roms here I think, radio also is no problem
yeh i might forget about backing up the whole ROM and instead im just going to find 1.93.206.3 WWE ROM sumwhere lol and then i can start messing about!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636
dont work!
thanks idrisito, i've checked that thread earlier today..
the link they provide in there dont exist any more
does it not! ill sort it out when i get home!
found it, i think!
well i did find "O2 XDA Ignito ROM 1.93.206.3 WWE November_2008.rar" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2amnzyk1w located in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636&page=5.
Now im slightly confused, will this do as my backup or should I wait until you sort out the link u have given me earlier?
that link i posted (i.e. the first one on the XDA ignito thread) does work ! i just downloaded from it !
thats the latest one it should say december 7th!
the other one i upped whic youv got does not display the splash screen correctly
once you'v downloaded the december 7th one that should allow you to return to the stock ROM, after flashing other ROMs, if you want to ever return for warranty purposes!
wicked! thanx
Hey idrisito thanks bro!!
dont know what happened!! its strange lol it was not working before! honest!
well im downloading it right now.
I also managed to flash Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 and updated my Radio to v1.03.25.18 from 1.00.25.05. How would i find out which radio is better lol are there any things i should look for?
Two days of hard reading on this forum ahh lol but glad its done successfully without any problems.. next stage is to find a good ROM and flash that! Might start with the HTC's original one and compare it to the O2's blue theme.
thanks n keep up the good work
update: I just tried to flash Diamond_WWE_1.93.707.157 ROM but for some reason was unsucessful! It ends up with the following message after 1%:
error [244] INVALID MODEL ID
What am i doing wrong?
dakz
you need to carrier unlock your phone (CID unlock) if you want to flash any ROM!
have you installed unsigned hard SPL? (i suggest unsigned)
it probably didnt work cos the rom your installing is for a different region!
go for one of UDKs or some of the othe widely used ROMs in the forum!
there is a way round flashing the rom you currently have but it involves deconstrucing>> changing the model ID>>reconstructing the ROM and then flashing!
its easy enough once you know how!
the best radio in my opinion is the one suggested in UDK R3 ROM thread
Hello all. I am new to this again. I am in the US Army and have been gone a while. I have a Sprint touch diamond and upgraded my rom to the 2.0 version. I am realy interested in an even better rom, possibly with the wm 6.5 that I saw on youtube. Can anyone point me to the correct ROM for my sprint phone? And is there a tutorial for this somewhere? The HTC download was pretty easy, are they all like that? Thanks.
Mainly all of the roms here are for gsm... Here's a similar thread, follow it
thank you...
Hi, I live in Australia and I bought my HD2 from TELSTRA the other day.
Quite happy with it so far.
I'm interested in trying some other ROMs but want to BACKUP the original ROM that came with the phone. Is there a program which will let me do this?
Thanks

well, i look for dumping the rom not back up.do u suggest any guide prepared for htc hd2?
thanks a lot
its not easy, my advice is download the one mentioned above.
but, if you are technically minded, see this.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507
its for the raphael not the hd2 but the process is the same - dump the raw files then use a kitchen to re build the rom file.
Like 99 out of 100 times your telco provides your Official Rom through HTC's website if you register your device. I have a HTC P3300, one HTC P3600 and an HTC Diamond and I can download the official rom from HTC.
I know this is not what you're asking for, but it's the official rom installed on your device. If there are any extra apps and gizmos by your telco provider, then I don't know.
thank all the helps.
Hi all,
I want to downgrade to 6.1 or 6.0.
A certain application cannot be used on 6.5...
I inquired of the producer of that application, but we can't solve it.
So I want to downgrade.
I searched xda-developers, but I can't find.
Anyone can do it?
Just find yourself an 6.0 rom somewhere in the HD2 ROM development forum.
Flash this with HSPL and you're done.
Back-up your data before doing so, though.

So you would burn your new house and move to an old one just because one of your cupboards doesn't fit into it?
By the way, are you sure the problem is WM6.5 and not just the display resolution? Does you application work on a SE Xperia X1 or on an HTC Topaz/Rhodium with WM6.1?
This is the only ROM with 6.1 I could found for Leo, but I have no idea if it's good or what is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624287
as previous poster said, you need a 6.0 WM cooked rom to flash it, but as far as I know there are none in the development forum, and I doubt any chef would be willing to spend his time on creating a custom rom with an old and even worse WM.
But maybe you'll be lucky anyway
EDIT: nevermind, apparently as other previous poster reported, there IS a 6.1 rom for hd2 :-| But it's "highly experimental", so maybe not your best choice

so please can anyone help me please? and thanks in advance.
You will need to download a WWE rom from the rom section of the forums.
Aha, so do I have to search for "WWE rom" without the need of the version? coz I have ver 1.66 now, and how do I install a rom?
if my questions are already answered I apologize, but I would like to get an answer please ^^
