just picked up a rom version 1.19 HD

Just bought my HTC HD in Thailand, shipped from Hong Kong with Italian manuals however the rom is 1.19.831.0 and rom date 11/27/08. Forgive me if this isn't news, I haven't seen anything other than 1.14!
After the diamond i am very impressed. Upgrades to all on screen menus but particularly the quick dialing menu on the people screen makes it almost worth using over the normal phone menu. Someone's obviously been listening to the niggles that were a barrier to immersion with previous HTC products...
No flash out the box tho despite thumb nails and previews showing on certain sites and the battery doesn't look like its as good as has been mentioned but on the whole very pleased after 4 hours play.
Amerisoft is slower than Super, QMC and SPB mobile DVD! I'm weeping for my lost childhood

Thanks for the inforamtion, all will added it to wiki

radio version is 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
I don't have this info tab to find build however in the "about" i have CE OS 5.2.20764 build 20764.1.4.3
ROm 1.19.831.0 (25581) WWE
I don't know what that all signifies but the fact that when i hang up from a call from an unknown number and it offers me the ability to save to an existing contact (ala most new phones), thus saving the tedium of copy and pasting... i like!

Battery life should improve after a few charging cycles.
I really like to know what has been fixed in v1.19 ROM.
Please can you do a QWERTY test and type really fast in office word and see you get the few seconds delay/lag where nothing responds. This may be fixed in your ROM version?

why is this ROM not available for d/l on the HTC website ??

h, i'm a rom neewbie but i was wondering why the updated rom isn't a 15 something and jumped from 14 to 19 ......? i oftenly go in thailand and you know you can find a lot of really well made fake devices with WM running on them ..... i will ask a friens to check it in Bangkok

interesting
Has anybody noticed that the protocol version !!!
This rom has radio version 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
Mine is 52.49a.25.26W
Last time I went to school W came after U.

my Rom 1.14 has radio version 1.09.25.14 protocol 52.49a.25.26U
I'm confused

I bought my HD at Hong Kong a week ago and I got
1.18.832.2 (23358) CHT
11/18/08
1.09.25.14
52.49a.25.26U
and quote from www.htc.com
"Note: This hot fix can only be installed in ROM version less than 1.19.xxx.x. To check your ROM version, tap Start > "
there should be a 1.19.xxx.x. ROM verson

the major fix was the system response time.
however, if someone with 1.19 rom can check the build # of the Opera browser, it would be good. I have heard rumours that we (end customers) can only get updates to Opera browser from HTC, because for the time being it is very platform specific. ie. if you download the latest build from opera website, it will not fully work with touch HD (looks very very ugly with squished menus and such)

Touch Diamond2 to get WM6.5 and updated Manilla!

"HTC has confirmed an update to Windows Mobile 6.5 for the HTC Touch Diamond 2, Touch Pro 2 and HTC Snap. The update will also bring updated versions of TouchFlo3D, bringing it closer to the HTC Sense user interface, said Lars Christian Weisswange, Regional Director of HTC for Germany, Austria and Switzerland (DACH), in an interview with AreaMobile. de.
The update will be provided as a free download from HTC’s website. Whether the software update will be released on October 6th or later is not known yet however, but should not be long after."
Via: wmpoweruser.com
This makes me happy!

Not long now

good news~~~~ cant wait for it... wondering how Garmin can be transfer or not..

That's really good news!!!
I have liked WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 / 2.6 since i have found it here, but i only flash original ROM's.
The waiting payed off.

Cool.. Thanks for the news... Hope this will resolve issues like battery drain .

Can someone advise? I have never flashed a ROM and have kept my phone standard.
Will it wipe all data and will a hard SPL be needed when upgrading?

HardSPL is only for cooked ROM's and stuff, not for branded ROM's.

Yes, installing a new rom will wipe all data. However you can backup contacts, calendar, notes and tasks with ActiveSync and you can backup everything with PIMbackup.

Windows Mobile 6.5 to (finally) arrive October 6th

No twitter integration on manila 2.1

The question I've been asking myself is, will D2 really handle WM6.2+Manila 2.5 without lag issues? I mean, Manila 2.5 was ment for Leo with a 1ghz processor, not a weak ****ing 528mhz..

you're quite right to be conerned.. but actually a std 2.5 Manila was fine on mine (As shipped with Duttys latest ROM)
Just don't put all the fancy animated backgrounds & pretty clocks that you can get on this site or you're bolloxed. The thing ran like it was like walking through treacle. Once I'd reflashed back to a std black & background it was fine..

List your HD2 mods

I'm kind of a NOOB here, sorry...
I have a Tmobile US HD2 that I'm pretty happy with. I've looked through the forums, and have installed some of the apps, made some of the registry changes, etc...
That being said, there's a TON of info on the forums, so I thought it might be a good idea to ask everyone to list everything they've done to their HD2's in one place. I'm pretty happy with the way mine is currently set up, but of course I'm interested to learn from everyone else's knowledge and experience here. Thanks!
So here goes...
My info / proposed format in the next post

Here is my info...
TMobile HD2
Software Information Tab:
OS 5.2.21889
Manila 2.5.20121412.1
ROM 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
ROM Date 2/22/10
Radio 2.08.50.08_2
Protocol 15.34.50.07U
Mods:
No flashing of radio / roms (are there even any for this phone yet?)
Software:
Cookie's Home Tab Mod
CHT Editor
CM WiFi Internet Sharing
HTC HD CommManager_3G (Modified the registry so I didn't lose push/wifi function)
Dutty's Task Manager
MichyPrima HTC Lockscreen 2.0 WVGA
Other:
I keep my 3G off most of the time, and keep my lcd backlight at 20 or 30% to conserve battery life.

you really may wanna take a look around the forum. there are allot of ROM's for the HD2 and I personally am running Energy 6.5.X series and have all of them but the HD Mini mod cooked into the ROM.

Thanks!
Yeah I've looked at the Energy ROM but I'm not quite sure I'm ready to take that plunge just yet. Can you give me your opinion of why I should? Part of the reason I started this thread was to see what others have done and where they started from.
Are you using a US or EU model HD2?
What ROM/Radio/etc... did you start with.

I also have the US TM HD2. I mainly installed Bsbtweaks, chainfire 3d driver, lumos. Otherwise it's stock.
I've also been tempted by the com manager 3g, but the first time I installed it I lost wifi option. I had to hard reset to restore everything to original. I might look into it again at some point.

not so much a software mod...
ive put a small peice of tinted film over the flash l.e.ds so they dont wash out everything within 3 metres!
much better shots indoors

Re chainfiare 3d driver: does it work really for HD2? did you notice significant improvement in its performance?

joshzzz2001: I know that Cookie Monster (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483) highly recommends the chainfire 3d driver. That carries a lot of weight in my book. I haven't installed it myself yet, but I will with the 1.7 version of the CHT Mod which should be released soon.

thanks

it was an off-cut from when i limo tinted the rear window of my van (so i can see out but thieves cant see in ) it was an 80% tint IIRC, ask about on some car forums, you'll find someone with abit left over
***although it took me 3 attempts with different makes of tinting film (and wasting a few quid in the process) that i aqquired from various people on the car-club im a member of, as some of the cheaper brands turn the l.e.d light purple lol***

CHT and Editor
Color Taskbar (Steve's)
Custom bottom bar (Steve's)
Remove start/close button
Diniks Anastasia icon set
Diniks slider (button only)
Diniks Anastasia lockscreen (button only)
Andrew in working's alternative slider (Dinik style)
Custom boot splash
SRS WOW

stock tmo rom but 3d driver,cookies tab, bsb are a must. everything else is pefrences..registry tweaks to opera..sms stuff..audio boozter is needed..take a look at app stickies / tweakin stickies in app section and this general section.

I think it helped for MorphGear. MorphGear didn't really run the games until I installed the driver. (This isn't conclusive since I didn't do extensive testing.) For regular HD2 use, I can't say I notice a difference since it probably doesn't require too much graphics processing.

This is great! Thanks all... Keep em coming!
Thanks for the participation. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I've replaced the Michyprima HD Mini Lockscreen with Chris10230's Middle Lockscreen...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656441
This moves the standard lock slider from the top of the screen down to the middle, which is perfect.
I agree about the BsB tweaks, I've installed and am running that and it's great.
Question: What's the Chainfire 3D driver do if you're not into gaming?

CoOkie Home Tab 1.7 is RELEASED!
Just installed CHT 1.7 and am working on the CHT Editor now. A must have for the HD2!

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

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

HTC Weather Tab and Twitter Cab

Hello there.
i'm newbie here and would like to ask your recommendation.
i'm using htc touch pro 2 (T7373) and when first bought it, it was preinstalled with WinMo 6.5 official roms WWE Asia.
after few weeks, i found that Winmo6.5 is sluggish and feel like to downgrade to winmo6.1 and resulted me to download and flash the winmo 6.1 Asia wwe rom.
with that, i'm happy since it is faster than 6.5, no lagging issue, sms also smooth. but 2 things i missed much are home weather tab and twitter/peeps application.
is there any option for me to install those thing into my device. i wish that i can have twitter tabs in my touch flo 3d and also, the home screen displaying our current location and weather.
the existing weather can only accomodate preset location and not a real time location.
any helps will be much appreciated and sorry for my local english.

I think the advanced features you want are only available in the 6.5 (or 6.5.x) ROM. You might try flashing a newer ROM. Since you are flashing WWE, you might try the latest NRG ROM - it is really excellent, and based on the latest software from MS.
