[Q] Got new Touch HD - Now what?

Hello to all,
I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.
This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.
It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.
PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.

Grats on the purchase. Where did you buy it from?
That's some fine English for it not being your first language.

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, although I've had my HD for a few days now. I'm just getting to grips with it, and am now at the point where I feel like I should play around with ROMs. Haven't a clue where to start though, but have had a good read of the wiki.
Good luck with it, and enjoy it.

Welcome to HD world !
Here is my list of applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017
As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.
But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.
Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.
I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.
Good luck and enjoy !

Take a look at the apps and themes forum.
That's a good place to start at...

Welcome.... here is my list of apps...

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.
First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.
After that I configured all the settings to my liking.
Installed all HTC Fixes.
Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:
- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)
- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)
- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)
- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)
- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)
- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)
- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)
- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)
- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)
- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though )
- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)
- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)
+ some theme customization and such
Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips

Wow this forum is certainly very active and helpful.
Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work )
@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.
PS. any further comments/suggestions/sharing of experience are still welcome

Please can you give me the link for wiki on how to install duttys 1.7 rom? Will I lose everything that's installed on my HTC HD if I install a new rom?
Also, do you only ever install 1 rom at a time, or can you have more than one? Sorry if that's a really stupid question...
Thank you.

Yes you will lose all your data, only 1 rom can be installed at a time.

Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM . There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.

Manila 2.5

Research for me has turned up somewhat conflicting results, so I ask if the community can shed some light, and in turn enlighten some of us who are in the dark.
Please correct me as I am sure there are some flaws in my knowledge here.
1. Manila / Sense 2.5 has been released officially, but only for the HD2 / Leo? And as such will only be released for this device.
leading to 2. therefore, the TP2 will never have *official* support for Manila 2.5 and it's lovely widget home / full-screen weather home screens
leading to 3. The Leo has no need for landscape support for all it's stuff because it doesn't have a keyboard?
leading to 4. I can discern that Manila 2.5 has added features such as Tiwtter integration and what has really piqued my interest, this "footprint" lark.
leading to 5. I am confused about Manila. It's obviously the program the runs the fancy TF3D interface jibbery-joo, but in some places I get the impression that it's heavily integrated into the windows ROM and so must come already baked in, and in other places It seems like it could almost be a cab file, ready for install?
leading to 6. does anyone know if HTC plans to give us poor TP2 users a widgetized home screen?
leading to 7. In some screen shots I have seen both the widgetised home screen, weather animations and footprint screen in use on what otherwise appears as Manila 2.1, especially the footprints things. Is this a seperate, installable module?
If it is possible to install the components (like footprints) or Manila 2.5 seperately, is there anyone offering them up, can't find them myself?
Many thanks for listening, it's all getting rather confusing.

Landscape support
Go to the aplications side of the thread. Theres apost called "Project Pulse"
Its a mod of 2.5 that supports landscape in all tabs but is still in early form with a few bugs. The developer is working on the bugs and will continue to update it. Its deffinatly worth looking at if you want to see landscape support for 2.5

well friend this doesn't need to be in the rom section but ill see what i can do with your questions.
1. yep it has been made for the htc touch hd 2 but i am guessing it will be made for future devices and touchflo 3d will be gone for good kinda of like what happend between touch flo 2d when 3d came out.
2. it is very doubtful that the touch pro 2 will get an upgrade like 90% chance of no.
3. Yea pretty much why they didn't just make a landscape now is beyond me i know they will eventually maybe if that rumor about the touch hd pro comes out or something.
4 Yea 2.5 has twitter app which really is just alright i would rather use twikini. And footprints has been out for awhile on touch flo 2d.
5.Its kinda of both in a sense there are plenty of cabs for touch flo 3d but it is built in by htc as a more or less skin such as spb mobile shell.
6. Very doubtful htc loves moving forward with things.
7.If you could show us a pic i might be able to answer that but someone would have to port footprints to 2.1 and i really doubt thats gonna happend any time soon.

Thanks for your answers man.
You're right it shouldn't be in the ROM section. But I kind of ummed and aarrred about it, and as you said yourself, it's a mixed bag whether manila is cooked in or not. Haha.
But very informative and I appreciate the time your took to reply. Kind of gives a good indication.

I was trying to install sense 2.5 in my TP2 until now ! thanks for posting this

i wanted so much a good rom with 2.5 for my tp2.. what i wanted was a french version of the fusion rom, but as we know, attomang seems to have vanished because of some scamming business he tried...
however here's what i think about the OFFICIAL future of sense 2.5 in landscape : pocket now showed us some leaked pictures of upcoming htc models coming in 2010 (based on some xda informations), and it comes out that there's a tp2-like device coming out.. so if it isn't an android based device, i think we can hope that it will come with 2.5 (and that we can base our future roms on the one that will be provided with it)
---> look at thje third one called "TERA"
http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/hot-three-new-htc-windows-mobile-phones-for-2010
(sorry if me english bad.. me native language french xD)
EDIT / for /7/ "home creen animated...".. it is present in the official 6.5 upgrade (so it's a winmo6.5 with sense 2.1) -- animated weather is on with the default wallpaper (or you can say when no wallpaper is chosen, or set for the homecreen)

Weather animation home screen

Hi,
I'm new to all this and hoping to get some simple clear direction
I have the diamond 2 (Australian Model) with the legit upgrade to wm 6.5. I really want the new interface home screen that has the weather animation on it and the three quick shortcuts which expands to more when you slide up.
Was hoping someone could tell me how get it?

i've tried to compile a basic tutorial-ish thing:
read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585457
then this (make sure to follow the steps EXACTLY!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585201
and you should be able to flash any of the ROMS available here(scroll down to the posts with dates in their title)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=486
and of course, welcome to xda!
(any questions, post them in the first thread link i sent you, i check that regularly)

So basically there is no option to get the home screen with the hour and weather icon instead of the list?
I thought you could turn it off or on?

i am not aware that there is an option for that. a premade .cab file might be able to do it, but that would simply be messing with your manilla/windows files.
rather look for a ROM that does what you want.

Thanks heaps Drag-On.
I'm wanting Duttys Topaz Sense 2.5 Holy Grail (the latest) where is the rom download?

there is no direct link for Dutty's ROMs on this website (im not actually sure why) but go here: http://htcpedia.com/soft/htc-topaz-rom.html and you will be able to select one of his to download..
Remember, YOU MUST HAVE HARDSPL INSTALLED FIRST!!! use the guide i linked above.
good luck

Thanx heaps, Just flashed my first rom and it works gr8

As Dutty's ROMs are as close to stock as possible, I suggest you search on Max Manila themes and you may find the Home screen configuration you are looking for.

Thx Bruce Inman, but I like Duttys ROM, although it does rip through the battery.
What is duttys HG1 ROM? I've seen it posted with people saying its better than R8. Does it consume less battery?

as you can see in my signature, that is the ROM i (was) using (my Diamond 2 is in for repair)
i found it to be the best for me...it had almost NO bugs and battery lasted ok for me.
(HG = Holy Grail) and 1 is the version. there is a version 6 out already, but it's mainly for multi language support.

R8 was based on an older build than the HG series, which is a very stable build, that's why he called it HG (Holy Grail).
I am running HG6 and ony have the slow SMS issue. I am running Max's theme for .2525 manila and its working great.
Battery consumption is on par with other ROMs, with the right power settings you'll get a day out of moderate use.

Stock Rom with 576mb RAM unlocked?

Hi Guys,
I' new to the HD2 scene, im after a ROM that has the 576mb of RAM unlocked and is pretty much stock, maybe with latest 6.5 and some bloat removed such as copilot and such. I dont mind a little customisation such as new icons or a darker themed clock as im not a massive fan of the white flip clock.
Is there anything that might appeal to me out there?
Thanks
Paul

As we've all got to start somewhere... I've tried a fair few roms here and here's my experiences so far...
I prefer the stock look too and don't like the added bottom buttons added by WM6.5.x. Also, I've not seen any custom WM6.5.x that doesn't mess up the dialer pad icon (unless someone can point me in the right direction?). I'm generally not too fussed with the 576MB ram hack as I've never gone close to exceeding the standard amount of RAM. I've also got just a slight doubt in my mind about why they've cut off some RAM - possibly bad binning?
Laurentious' L26V4.0 UltimatePOWER (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631042) is very very good in terms of performance and battery life but it does have custom icons for just about everything. The customised icons are however, very well done in my opinion. I do wish though that he'd release one without the customisations like he used to! I've been using his roms ever since the first release but the other day fancied a change back to stock look...
kwbr's Topix 1.6.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595318) is probably the one to fit your criteria (and mine too since I'm using it right now). It retains the standard stock look. It is WM 6.5 and has the 576MB RAM hack. I've found it to be running very well for me so far.
Just for your information, should you choose to go with Topix, I'm using v1.6.3 with 2.08 HSPL and Radio v2.10.50.19_2 (the leaked Korean one). So far it's all going very well on the Vodafone UK network.
I've also tried sternas' Artemis, but the dialer icon (whilst petty I know) just annoyed me too much. NRGZ28's Energy ROM was just too over the top customisations wise for me and so that went straight off. Previously i've also tried Miri's ROM which was pretty good too but Topix just seemed more up to date.

you can try my hd2o-roms.
no dialer overlap...

Thanks for the helpful response Kai_
I had looked at the topix rom and i think its probably closest to my requirements so might give it a go, the Ultimate Power rom looks a bit too custom for my liking..
Thanks Also HD2owner i had looked at your rom too but it has the Cookies home tab which while i like the functionality it offers it seems to have distorted text which unfortunately puts me off using it...

the distorted location (overlapping temp in screenshot) was in a previous cookieshometab-version.
it is now fixed... give it a try..

It wasn't that issue i had with Cookie's - it was just that all text was quite blurry to read, especially under the program buttons, it wasnt unreadable just not as sharp as id expect. - i had the latest versions of the Home app and the editor but even with cleartype on it was blurry. I then removed it and Sense wouldn't boot - so now while im in a 'fresh' install i thought id look into banging a new ROM on it.
Im currently using the Stock 1.66 WWE ROM and am quite happy with it but was interested in getting my paws on that hidden RAM

i hope you know that the hd2 is using a more advanced text-filter than clear-type.
it actually looks worse with cleartype enabled (this disables advanced greyscale mode of the hd2).

Well to be honest it makes no difference using Cookies home - the text looks blurred with or without Cleartype - but its fine when not using it so ive decided i dont want to use Cookies - its a real shame as i enjoyed the customisations it offered..

T-Mobile stock ROM is 100% trash, looking for a new one !

Well guys, after a couple weeks with the stock TMOBILE rom I conclude that it's just USELESS.
I can't even use the phone... It's getting stuck when I'm trying to call someone, stuck when viewing images, stuck stuck stuck, at least 5 times a day.
Plus a million SOD's a day... I tried everything, from losing all apps, to modifying the registry.
I NEED A NEW ROM
But there are so many over there, I do not know what to choose.
I need:
1. As little visual tweaks as possible, i'd like to take care of that myself (CHT Cooked in is fine though)
2. Maximum system stability and performance, I DON'T WANT HANGS FROM SIMPLE OPERATIONS SUCH AS CALLING SOMEONE
3. No bloatware
4. Not much bugs (ie good support, constantly worked on, not a 1 time "job" )
Basically If it can resemble the stock one, but with more stability, tweaks and performance boosts, then i'm happy.
I have the sticky flashing manual in hand, so all I need is a recommendation.
Looking forward to flashing this thing today, thank you very much XDA.

Energy ROM Cookie's Reference ROM

this is a custom rom close to stock as you're going to get, please make sure you read loads before flashing.

Or the standard sense reference or full. I recommend using the 23569 builds as well. more finger friendly and slightly quicker. Also there is an advantage with the full version in that if you wish to update the rom in future you can backup your settings using the energy settings exporter and then reimport them.

regarding the builds mentioned - can you expand ? links ?
thanks !
Exporter sounds GREAT.

Basically there are two builds of almost all the custom roms. One build will be the latest 6.5 build (21907, same WM version as the stock roms but with some bug fixes) then there is the 23569 (or higher) builds. These are WM 6.5.5. Some big changes here to the way the start menu works and also to the UI to make it more finger friendly. It's also a little quicker than WM 6.5 but (apparently. i've not found any yet) more buggy then WM 6.5. Also as i said (and i've now checked this) custom roms also include newer, less buggy, versions of sense (AKA manilla)

I suggest EnergyROM

Great, I think I will go for Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Reference.Jun.26.7z
Is that OK for me ? (well, is it better than what i have now )
Is there a settings exporter in Energy.Leo.21907 ?

If you have the T-Mobile US HD2, make sure you use the right radio for your device.

That would do nicely although i don't know if it includes the exporter tool. You may want to look at the full cht version.
Good point about the radio. I have a UK version so i can use whatever i want. The right radio roms for the TMOUS devices have verison numbers that look like this: 2.xx.50.xx. the 50 bit is important as radios with the 50 in it have the unlock code for the extra ram in them and are compatible with the 1024MB rom chips. Also never ever use a radio with a version number like this: 2.xx.51.xx. The 51 radios will brick your phone and they can not be recovered as far as i am aware.
And yes afaik there is a setting exporter in the WM 6.5 builds

My radio is 2.10.50.26
Is that OK ?
Just how much faster is the 6.5.5 over the regular one ? I'm not liking that lower start button anyway so if it's not really faster i'll pass.
Looks kinda like an iPhone.. Less " serious "
m3ph - what ROM have you had in mind with the Exporter build in and the upper start button and CHT ?
I thank you for all the help... I am feeling positive about my HD2 again.. Can't wait to flash it !
Just making sure I get everything right about all the different Energies so I don't reflash and reflash a thousand times... Making a concious decision

the radio will be fine.
The difference in speed is not massive so i wouldn't worry about it.
The rom i'm thinking of will be at this link: http://hotfile.com/dl/50755734/bde591c/Energy.Leo.21907.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jun.26.Take2.7z.html
Sorry if i'm being a little slow. i'm trying to eat my din, while texting the mrs, getting nfs world beta to work and figure out why sense will not show around 3500 of my messages and thinks my sister is my best mate

Deal, I will burn that ROM then, in the 21907 version and settle down.
Does it have the exporter for future upgrades ?
Looks like i'm fixed then ! Thanks ! What version is the faulty Sense that thinks your sister is your best mate ? hahah

Sorry to hear that... my stock ROM still works fine... I did not even update it yet - this one was right from the get-go

Well, I'm on Energy CHT now and IT'S A DIFFERENT PHONE !
WOW.
Thanks guys. You saved my phone and my money !

Now install chainfires 3D driver patch v2 on it and leocpuspeed v4 you'll be shocked.

Wooo Hoo ! This phone is ON FIRE now
Now we're talking !!
Thanks man ! Any more tips ? hehe

What a coincidence. I'm also having lots of problems with my TMobile UK Rom, same freezing, etc.
I have seen quite a few Roms that I'd be interested, but most of them don't mention whether they will work with a locked T-Mobile handset, and if they do, it only refers to TMobile US version.
Will any Rom work on a T-Mobile UK locked handset, or would I also have to flash a new radio. I have 2.07.50 at the moment.
Like I said, I've seen quite a few Roms that I like, but just concerned in case I flash a Rom that's not compatible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

if you have a wifi router in your house get wifi remote access. It allows you to transfer files to and from the phone using a web interface over the wifi. It also allows you to edit the registry "remotely". Really handy little tool that.
Also have a look at omarket. some handy tools can be got from there but be careful not everything is Leo compatible.
Coreplayer is handy if you wanna watch tv shows or movies. just set the video mode to raw frambuffer if the picture looks scrambled. This one isn't free but is definitely worth paying for coz tcpmp (it's free cousin) isn't as good. I also use srs WOWHD with this to improve the sound. look for 1.5 V2.
The only more i can say is use a PIM backup tool regularly. something like MS myphone or PIMBackup. Saves some time if you don't have an exchange server to store you contacts, mail etc

What a coincidence. I'm also having lots of problems with my TMobile UK Rom, same freezing, etc.
I have seen quite a few Roms that I'd be interested, but most of them don't mention whether they will work with a locked T-Mobile handset, and if they do, it only refers to TMobile US version.
Will any Rom work on a T-Mobile UK locked handset, or would I also have to flash a new radio. I have 2.07.50 at the moment.
Like I said, I've seen quite a few Roms that I like, but just concerned in case I flash a Rom that's not compatible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My advice to you would be to stick to a rom that says it is tmous compatible. that way it will work on any leo but the phone will still be sim locked. so if you wanted to sim unlock it you would need to get an unlock code from TMOUK
