Does the HD2 have any good solutions to the graphics problems? - HD2 General

Hey all,
I was using my HD2 today and I don't like the way the phone has certain lags :/
I know about Chainfire's Patch for HD2, and i've heard about another patch that supposedly does the same thing. Also, there seem to be various different forums for boosting the performance on the HD2. I would like (if this is possible ) to have the best known combination of registry tweaks and programs and modifications in one thread so that they'll be easier for everyone to locate I think key improvement factors would include Performance, Smoothness in day to day graphics eg Scrolling through the Album in Landscape or Music or the Start Menu, Speed (The CPU doesn't Idle when it needs to be used for power).
I think what bugs me most is that seemingly slight lag when scrolling through HTC Sense, or when playing Teeter. Sorry if i'm bothering everyone
Thanks for helping

why shall anyone spoon feed You? what about "search" and then "contribute" making such a thread if You feel theres such a need?
... no wonder people are leaving this forum.

And a forum is meant to be searched. Even if there's only one thread for everything (which will not happen I think), one still has to search that thread.

Mod, please delete this!

Elemental Fire,
A little confused by your post. There is a Hints and Tips thread and a Questions thread on here which should cover off most of what you need. Even if everything you wanted was in one thread I bet it would grow to such an extent that you would have to search through it at some point to find and understand the variations that pop up with published solutions, tweaks, etc.
You have 2 options; start your own thread and populate it with all the "best features" you are looking for or keep a log of the things you find that will be useful to you. For the former you get to put some time into the forum and help others out, for the latter you satisfy your own needs.
Hope this helps.

I wish to hack MusicID

I tried using ResHacker but after replacing some of the graphics (which is all I'm after) MusicID wouldn't run anymore claiming it was unsigned.
How can I replace the graphics in this app and still have it function afterwards?
(FWIW: the graphics in MusicID appear to have been done by someone schooled in minimalist 80's computer graphic design. Who failed.)

There is a new thread at the top of this page, where you just posted this question, made specifically to stop unnessicary threads like this. I dont see how it could be looked over. All of the questions there are answered extremely fast, and with good features too. Why would you start a new thread, when you could use this? Try posting it there!

Just curious, what kind of new thread would be considered acceptable to you? I'm not trying to be a smart*ss, im serious, if all "unnecessary" questions go in the "top of the page" thread, what kind of topic/question/information would be alright to start a new thread? Just so i don't make the same mistake kwoodall made.
Oh yeah, kwoodall, i totally agree with you, and wish ya luck on improving the ( 1980's miami vice) look of musicid. dschoenike
Hmm. I did this for that very program awhile back and it worked fine. Only thing i think it could be is if a image file had a different extension or there was a problem when you saved it back to cab.
Or did you try and change the images once it was installed instead of editing the cab file?
I tried to edit the .EXE file itself. Was I a bad boy?

Actually my fellow ppc'er. If you read about the Development & Hacking section , there probably isn't a correct topic/subject to start a new thread. It specifically says that this section is for pretty much Hardcore Developers.
In other words, from the way I've read the rules, and about this section, and especially what I've learned from the Mod's and senior members, this section is supposed to be for someone who has created an application/software/etc. Not to ask questions. I may be mistaken , but from what I've gathered, the only way a question should be asked in this section , is if you can find a specific thread concerning what you are lookin for, and then post it in that thread.
I know that when you go to this section that is not the case, but thats how it was meant to be, and that is why that thread up to , was created. So theres your answer.

I disagree. If that was the requirement for making a new thread, ones having to do with dialer skins, spb mobile shell, all the HTC programs, opera mobile beta, etc etc etc would all have to be erased or relocated, and I just don't think that's appropriate. This thread deals with hacking and the modification of a program, thus I think it is entirely appropriate to post it here. That said, I don't know of a solution for the OP's issue but would like to know the answer as well.

It is not my intention to pollute anything. I just though it could be useful to read to good and the bad of each ROM by informed people like you.
Personally I like to read reviews and also to add things to them...
Syrius is a GREAT ROM but has some bugs. Wouldnt you be happy to read if the alternative ROM has the same bugs before you loose one hour of your time flashing the ROM, uploading stufff etc?

If you do not want to pollute you should read threads related each of these ROMs and make up your mind.
If you decide to try some ROM you could leave your opinion (if you have something new to say) about it in appropriate thread. That way if someone will want to know pros and cons about those ROMs they will easily find it.
I don't want to be harsh but if we keep these forums as clean as possible they will be more useful for everyone.
Ok.. Syrius R0 has about 90 pages of posts.. and you speak to me about pollution?
Your advice is for reader who barely know how to flash their devices to read 90 pages of posts, some of them being just " " "Great" etc... and you feel uncorfortable with a topic were people compare real bugs.
Opal doesnt even have a feature list...
Anyway, please close this topic... I have read most of the 90 pages of the Syrius posts and am well aware of its bugs.
I also would like for keeping this forum up and let us use all the information provided. I truly thank you all!

Think about it a second. You could not reach the info you wanted because of polluted thread. You tried to solve your problem by creating one more unnecessary thread. Is this the correct way to make the information easily accessible? Is this the way you would like this forum to look like? It is already in horrible state now, please do not make it even worse for all of us.
I Agree.. can some Admin close or delete this topic?

Actually @silaval is right, why should we read hundreds of "great" and "thanx" postings to find out some real oppinions, instead of creating a new thread , a tehnical one? I don't say it is a good ideea to open new threads when a previous one gets polluted with nonsense posts, but forum amins should give more moderating rights for the ones who really contribute to those threads (chefs, rom makers, SERIOUS beta testers like @batista70, @NeoS2007, @ravest etc) to keep clean this forum. I am moderator in some gsm repairing related forums and the thing I hate most is the pollution with nonsense "thanx" messages. Posters, if you wanna contribute with feedback, do it, if you can't than donate, othervise shut up, but don't post just for the sake of posting, or to increase post count, it doesn't helps!
BR
mano
ps: maybe admins should consider to update forum's vbb script, and give us a "THANX" button, this way threads would be much clearer.
silaval is absolutely right, its not the same thing if a board is polluted or a thread. Just think further guys, the REALLY important topics are either sticky or are nearly always on top of the first page, cause people post into them so much. So, I agree with you, avoiding unnecessary threads is a good thing - but the problem with "thank you" posts is a MUCH bigger problem.
@mano42: I second that, hopefully admins will integrate that feature, would save aprox. 50 posts / ROM thread.
regards,
Martin
Way to kill a possibly informative thread guys...he asked a very practical question. Both of these ROMs come from different sources and have pretty different pros and cons and both release posts have a ton of filler so it's difficult to see possible bugs in the ROM. Instead of berating him for 4 or 5 posts, how about you just weigh in on the topic at hand? The only other alternative should be to ignore the post and let it drop down the list of posts.
To answer his question, I find the bugs in Syrius R0 to not be too bad and the things added make it one of the fastest/lightest ROMs I've used on a HTC device. Since R1 was just released, it should be a moot point now as most of those bugs have been quashed.
Guess you'll have to wait a bit for any answers since R1 just came out :O

NEW USERS!

We've got a lot of new users appear on here lately, it looks like in search of updated roms for the x1.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS THEN DO NOT FLASH A ROM
without
A) reading
B) reading some more
C) reading even more!
All the roms should come through the SE Update Service, please use that as it is a simpler method and if something goes wrong, then you can go to SE to complain..
Please use the search if you have a problem, if you don't find what you want the first time, then search again, maybe try searching around the subject.
There's a very very good chance that the question has already been answered several times!
If you can't find the answer then flick through the older pages on the thread, if it's something to do with the operation of the X1 then there's a good chance it's in the oldest pages of the forum.
Experienced members get upset by people starting new threads with the same moans or questions because it really clogs up the great search system with all manner of wasted threads. If there's an existing thread than use that please! If the questions already been asked don't ask it again!
This forum is not a SE support forum, no-one (that will admit to it anyway) is from SE so if you have issues with them why not raise it with them?
If you want to know how you X1 does various stuff try one of the operators online guides.
If you flash a custom rom or another rom obtained from here, despite being warned not too. DO NOT go running off to MS or SE complaining that it's all gone wrong, they
A) won't likely listen
B)won't like us very much
Ta.
You should keep this on the very first ROMS subforum page fards
I know It's already written everywhere... old problem... but many people falls in parachute here, landing directly inside the ROMs post from external links. XDA DEVS is da bomb

Hmmm...a rather sweeping generalisation methinks...
I'm a noob here, I'll admit that. However, I'm a board Admin elsewhere in cyberspace so I know exactly where you're coming from. I've done my time reading, understanding, occasionally asking relevant questions in the relevant places, and trying to help out where I might have some answers.
Your advice is spot on, and anyone who is inexperienced should tread slowly and carefully. There is all the time in the world to learn how to get it right, but it takes very little time to totally stuff things up.
"Use the search, Luke"
Instead of telling new guys to read, you could've put the same effort into and making a nice thread for them instead.
Maybe a list on where to start reading and so on!
This thread has no meaning whatsoever. New guys will probably just read first lines skip it and ask a question.
And remember we have all been there, not knowing how to flash etc.
Also searching can be a very time consuming thing to do, and asking and getting an answer is often way faster.
this thread doesnt make sense without any links to where to read...
This forum is where you read. it is a development forum, not a help forum!
you read the first thread that the moderators try to get EVERY NEW USER to read, this was a gentle reminder to get people to do just that.
People are not here to act as customer service for people who are too lazy to use the search facility on this site.

Yea that is true. I was searching PIE6 and i ran across about 13-14 threads of the same question. i was on like page 3 or 4 of the search before i got the right hit.
maybe xda-newbies.com should be registered as a none development and referance site? lol

which reminds me the pie8 files that sun_dream posted in his BA 6.5 thread work, when copied over on itjes 6.5 (it's still pie6 core I think. but a bit snappier).
How about a period of not being able to post when registering ?, a day or three would give new members with their questions a little time to cool down and search/read for the answers which will usually be found here somewhere.
Just an idea.

I actually think that's not a bad idea, was just suggesting it to a couple of other members. Only drawback I think is that it couldn't be restricted to one sub forum such as the x1 from my experiences with vbulletin..
So it would restrict some of the truly amazing first posts that have come from some of the great genii?? on this site..
Alternatively we could have another Sub-forum, in the X1, with for newbies to ask the same questions of each other (like a creche) and anyone found straying outside of that forum until they've learnt to search and read would get electrocuted.. or something..
you mean, something like asking a question about an advanced feature, if you have it right then you're allowed to the real forums?
Well to be honest, the only thing a noob should read are the stickies. I learned to flash, edit, modify, type, behave, proof read, error correction, ask nicely, say please thank you cookie i love you, by reading those stickies.
Actually I think it's a good idea to have a sub-forum for the newbies, and then bomb them with the 'READ THE F-WORD STICKIES OR DIE' *going too far here...
Search ?? No thanks

But to search efficient you have to know what to search for, the keywords are important in a search engine. And when you're a newbie those terms might not be known to you. Or you might not understand a lot of them.

Lets face it. Most people that come here with questions like "how can I flash my ROM?" just didn't bother to look. And trust me, there's plenty.
The bothersome thing is not that people ask questions, that's normal in a developer environment. What does bother me, and most - if not all - others is that they ask questions they can answer themselves by putting just a wee bit of time into it. Instead, they had rather have other people spend time doing everything for them. I can see where this attitude comes from - it's easier, but you get my point.

HD has been around for many months now and the forum seems to be full of duplicate messages and requests.
How about we delete it all and start again?

Not really a practical way of doing this as the whole process would just repeat itself.
A few ways of doing this:
1. Leave it as it is
2. Have more categories so questions on specific topics are in specific folders i.e. all game threads in one folder, all threads on battery in other and so on.....but this would create dozens of folders, so again not practical.
3. Have a new setup so noobs aren't actually able to post questions unless they have already searched the forum.....but again, this also isn't practical
4. Have a section for noobs where all basic questions are asked and then another section for other members....but again, I'm not sure this would work either as a person may be posting their first thread but be an experienced user.
Personally, I would just leave it as it is, and possibly just delete a few threads which are useless to clear the waste

ive just got this toy. but ive owned a godd few winmo phones before hand so im no noob but we alll have issues
Something that would help i think is better use of the wiki. Each cook having a page, each rom having its own page. each app having its own page. the discussion belongs in forum but ROMs should have their own page then theres 1 location for update info, details ect.

Or integrate an automatic search screen (maybe a popup to act as a temporary block) for:
a) anyone starting a new thread with
b) less than 40 or 50 posts history.

I will vote for changing the forum first page. Giving that the number of devices is increasing, it is getting harder to find your phone through all of them. Maybe it is possible to categories it like saying depending on the model year/release date or specificationsod the device. That would be much more interesting than scrolling the whole page waiting to find a specific one.

Summarize
Major issue is looooong threads - which just go on and on. In the case of an answer to a particular problem - as soon as someone has a definitive answer the thread needs to be marked as Solved and the answer put in a reserved slot on the first page. It can me a nightmare going through a dozen solutions to fix a problem - and with people quoting bit's all the time there's probably 50% of the info duplicated.

But the thing is Fallen, I've been trolling these forums for years, ever since I got my universal roughly 3/4 years ago. The majority of posts I have made really has been to help other people.
I am not a noob but have not made many posts, I am a competent programmer and can solve problems without having to post... Usually.
It would be really annoying if the few times I did need to post for help, or to share information, I would have to answer to a stupid popup asking me whether I have searched or not!
However, I do agree there is a severe lack in understanding the search facility on these forums, I think if a NOOB filter were to be placed it should go on join date.
P.S My join date was before Aug 07 I just forgot my email and password

ROM List?

Hi,
I do realise that one of the moderators have requested not to ask questions or they will be deleted, however, I was wondering if someone (and yes, this is mainly aimed at a moderator) could make a thread with listing all the ROMs with links to the respective threads and Sticky it.
I have seen this done for other devices I have owned in subforums of this site and has made ROM tracking and selection easier, especially for newbies (although this is one of my first posts, I have been with the site for several years now).
Regards and apologies for the request/question.
Without sounding l*ke a ****...
I understand you want it stickied here but You should just search google, there's a list compiled of nearly all the DHD ROMs.
You're probably just gonna' get flamed for this post, you need to search properly (On and off XDA) before starting a thread.
why dont you make it?

Ya that would be a nice contribution, if you went and created such a list and kept it updated. good idea! But i agree, if its something you want, do it and youll probably see good responses to that. Asking someone to do easy but tedious work for you, thats lazy and probably not going to happen.
You are right wrong section for questions.
But I'll hopefully answer you.
In other phones sub forums members with some extra time on their hands have created a thread...then if it's suitable mods will sticky it.
Trouble is builds are changed and or updated often and after a while the op of the sticky struggles to keep it upto date.
Most of the best builds are found on the first or second page. Which acts like a sticky in its self! Obviously takes a little more time to navigate the info on each build as some peoples ops are huge! But at least the info is as current as it could possibly be.
At first Rom lists were just what I wanted too but after seeing other stickys for other phones dwindle to being unusable just subscribing to my top threads for each style of Rom I use is more convenient and personal to me.
I hope I finish writing this before this thread is closed!
Peace people

Firstly, I would make one more than happily, however, without garauntee that it would get Stickied (which I cannot control for obvious reasons :S) it would be a waste of my time.
Yes I realise I will probably be flamed for this thread. And no offence taken.
After posting this (and then getting the second reply) I realised that I should not have bothered, not for the responses I may (and most probably will) get, but the site does not allow for a non-moderator to delete a thread, not even the original poster (from my knowledge), although I do still stand by my belief that what I have requested/suggested would benefit a lot of people, save a lot of questions/remarks (generally rude and un-necessary) and yes, I would still be happy to compile it, if it were garaunteed to be Stickied.
Regards again
I was feelin kind so i made you a list http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=765
dont forget to thank me
lol you didnt get flamed at all taken in account that the thread exists, even better two of them.
one of 3 stickys in this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936214
and inside that there are at least two links with list of roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846248
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1079108
which to be honest are quite outdated but never the less are exactly what you are asking for. and the best list is the development forum itself. i am amazed to be able to even post this meaning the thread is still open
Ok, thank you everyone for your comments, help and assistance, I do not believe my point was 100% clear to everyone.
I do not have a problem 'myself' finding what I am after, twas a thought for others.
However, I especially thank those of you who clearly could point out exactly how stupid I am for even thinking of such a thing and for proving to me that people cannot read and understand a simple clear post.
Point made, my (seemingly good at the time to reduce rubbish posts, questions and requests (like this)) idea has been misconstruded and misunderstood by those whom I had the belief would be those that would understand simple context the best.
Please can a MOD delete this thread before it gets rediculously out of control.
Regards and appreciation

? did you get lots of pm's asking for a Rom list sticky from noobs? I thought your point was 'why isn't there a Rom list in the stickys?' What kind of answer were you looking for?

I suppose this'd answer the best to your initial question.

Nevermind, I thought I was being helpful and even offering to do this work on the basis of it being stickied 'somewhere' clearly. My opinion hasn't been changed by your 'personal opinion' and that is also respected.
Comment was not directed at any individual specifically.
Again, MOD please delete and apologies for the offer
Working on it
It may not be something necessary but as a user i dont give much to the xda community and since I have long weekend without school Im in the process of creating a list with: Roms, Kernels. tweaks, scripts and recovery will upload asap hope a moderator will stick it once done. Will update this post with link when available.
Edit:
Even if we have Grant Barker list [BTW thanks for that] i will continue my list specially for kernels, tweaks and scripts.
On the link below you can have a view at the format that im going to use [ unless mayority prefers another] its still under construction and features only the first development pages as it is intended to see if i will continue with it depending on replies.

For an up-to-date rom list for the HTC Desire HD, you can use mine.. I update it daily.. http://www.grantbarker.com/#roms

I've used your list quite a few times, although i havn't looked at it for a little while. It's by far the most up-to-date list i've seen and it's good to see that you still keep it up-to-date. A lot of these lists get real old real quick.
Thanks lrm537.

Just because you said the word "MOD", doesn't mean I'll find your post or thread.
Please use the "Report Post" button found on every post. It will then notify me or the other assigned moderators to your post.
Thread Closed.
EDIT: Grant Barkers ROM list will be added to the Sticky Post in the Development Section
Cheers Grant
