Hi all.
I was a bit reluctant to start this thread but as I was getting nowhere I thought I needed to and I'm sorry if there are other threads out there similar to this and if it upsets you i wanna say that was not my intention.
Great forum, I'm sure everyone appreaciates every little effort that's goes into this project so thanks for your hard work..
I am new to the htc hd2/winmo and I'm glad I have chosen this over the iphone. I have been a big fan of nokia/symbian o/s devices
As i have had my hd2 a week now - i have only upgraded it to the official 1.72 tmobile rom frOm the htc site. I want to stay away from flashing hd2 for the timebeing as I want to experience the hd2 as it is.. I'm all in favour of flashed/cooked Roms so I'm confident I will eventually
i just want to ask can someone guide me or give me a list of programs/ applications preferably foc (not marketplace) I can install onto my hd2 as I'm abit confused whether most programs need a customed hd2 prior to installing?
And Also are the below programs suitable for this? I have used the search function before some says.
Bsb tweaks
Cookies tab editor
Tcpmp player
Resco/ total commander file explorers and registry editors
.net compact framework 3.5
Skyfire
I would be grateful if someone can take some time out to answer what programs/apps you use and if they will work for a non custom hd2
Many thanks in advance.

No you don't need a custom ROM to use applications.
All those programs will work fine.
Google freeware pocket pc on your phone, then download Omarket to your phone, then you will have plenty of apps with reviews to choose from.
If you dont like one all you have to do is un-install.

Hello !
I'm quite new here. I'm reading the forum for one week and succeeded to flash my S200. Now I'm interested in other programs. As I see roms come with some installed programs but you can download cab files and install it separately. The only problem is that I cant find descriptions for this programs, so I don’t know what they exactly do. I spent one hour for cube and touchflo to got some idea.... Is there any post or page where this programs are explained?
thanks
Bojan
ello friend
no wonder it hard for anyone to reply your questions
here's some quick reference for you..
this Cube things originally from HTC Touch and also with the Flo which you can scroll down or up smoothly your screen with fingers..
our best cooks edit it so this programs can be use in our Prophet..same also with latest great program from others HTC devices..
usually the latest new release roms here have the newest programs..so dont worry about it,we have the best cooks with us here
but if you need extra programs inside your device, just google around..
for me,if i need other great programs, search into torrents, check out the PPC magazine etc..
cheers..
Simple question.
I've read about the new features of the 3rd version of Touch Flo (on the upcoming HTC Touch Pro 2 and Diamond 2) and they are quite interesting.
I just wondered whether by any chance this new version could be installed on the HTC HD (once it's out of course)
Thx
there are already tons of custom roms with this new tf3d
Oh! I wasn't aware of that... have an example so I can test it?

Think the list is endless. Go to ROM's development forum and seach. I'm currently using Duttys 2.5 Xtreme, though Laurentius & Davideuck are just as commonly used

Go to the "Themes, Applications and Software" and you will found you cab's
excuse me for being a nub but what are the benefits of flashing vs cab install
nowhere to be seen

well... i always do my home work before posting, that is why i did ask question...i could not find any cab, and believe me i spent hours looking throughout our gigantic forum...
if u know location where such cab is hiding from my eyes please share it with us.
There is no "cab" install and there never will be.
This isn't just an application you install on your phone - it's a complete system overhaul, with new TF3D, with all new and / or updated system applications: phone, calendar, contacts, call history, calculator, browser etc.
Let me illustrate however the difference between the stock ROM and the custom cooked ROM's available here on XDA. It's like going from Skoda to latest Ferrari.
That means you'll get a lot of great looking stuff, many cool applications already included, everything will be as new as possible, you'll be running at MUCH faster speed, but you also have to accept that you'll "burn more gas" - battery life may take a small impact.
Is it worth it? Well, it's like you bought a new device, so - yes.

If you flash a ROM that already includes the new manila it will probably be alot smoother because the ROM will be optimized and tweaked for it! If you install it over the old Manila it probably won't give you the best experience... Also, the newer ROMs not only include the new Manila, but also things like finger-friendly menus!
really is that true???

I'm pretty new to all this as well and had a lot of difficulty figuring it out! What I think happens is this: The ROM is a bit like the BIOS so you can't modify it within WM6.1. Also, the original ROMs are protected so you can't replace them with an unofficial version (they are signed).
To get around this, you can use something like Hard SPL (which overwrites the existing ROM) or USPL (which works around it).
I finally went with USPL2.5 and Dutty's extreme ROM v2.6.
Incidentally, I'm not really noticing much of a speed improvement... Especially with the music player which now takes a second to load up... Am I meant to?
Hey guys, i have used the search but for some reason when i press the submit to complete the search i get a Page cannot be displayed message, not sure if its my computer or not, so sorry if this has already been covered
i have a TG01 and a Touch HD, i was wondering if anyone has the Manila TF3D 2.5 for download as a cab so i can install it on the TG01 because i love TF3D but the manila thats floating around here with the download cab is a very old version of the TouchFlo so i was wondering if anyone has the 2.5 in a cab so i can install it on my wonderful TG01 to make it look as nice as the Touch HD
I thought it had to be built into the rom?
i have no idea, thats why im asking but there are no roms for the TG01 thats why i was looking for a cab maybe
Well I have the TP2 and have seen it posted there that 2.5 has to be built into the rom, probably the same for your device.
crap that sucks because g0d knows when we'll have roms for my phone

well where the h*** did you get one of those?
i have not seen a 2.5 cab, so yes it does need to be cooked in... however, if you're resourceful, you can use tools here to dump your ROM (there should be a flash util from toshiba if your OS is wiped from doing any of this.)
after the dump, disassemble the rom with one of the kitchens here... now the files should be in order but you're going to have a hard time building and flashing out of that with HTC oriented tools... im sure others have much better ideas how to recompile it.
if you can disassemble, build (no modifications), and flash, then really try to get your hands wet making a rom (ex. just cooking in manila 2.5 or even start with something simple like add some OEM packages) and start flashing til you like it! yes, it's not for those without time, but like you said there's no roms for the TG01 so you can pioneer it!
if your interested in messing around with this, im sure that i and the other xda members would be happy to chat offline to help you get it working... if you got one, then there's surely more to come...
btw... for a sick interface, just load up SPB mobile shell with the Revolution theme... a lot like the Sense UI, it's still pretty sweet
hi, i am going to buy htc tattoo in 2 days time. before that i need to know whether i have plenty of apps alternative to windows mobile apps.
i also heard that its a qvga screen, so developers have to sign it to get it working on tattoo (240x320 qvga screen). is that true that we may expect good number of apps for this device??? by the grace of developers showing interest in developing apps & games for qvga screen(old mobile screen)... ????
will it be future proof ???? i am also not sure about the availability of upgrade to android 2.0 from 1.6. can anyone reply to these messages???
waiting for ur responses.... if i wanna install any application on htc tattoo, where do i get the apps & how do i install it???? like is it like just clicking on exe files as in windows???? or is there any special way how i should install apps & games????
i know it may sound like a noob talk. but what to do, i am totally new to this android thing..... no idea on how to get it started & know more about it, android & its different versions of OS..... kindly throw some light on where to get all information about it & its uses over windows mobile.... in simple & detailed manner.....
detailed information is highly appreciated...... thanks
I switched from a WM HTC Diamond to the cheaper HTC Tattoo and find it quicker, and with more apps!
But it might be useful for you to tell us what apps you want/use already, and we can say whether or not they are on Tattoo.
As for 2.0 who knows, talk is it should eventually get the upgrade but not exactly high priority,
Info
I have also switched from HTC Diamond to Tattoo. I know that Tattoo is cheaper but I like it more.
To install .apk you can use HTC Sync. After synchronization you can find on main screen HTC Sync :Application Installer and you can use it for install any application.
You can use ASTRO file manager to install .apk from Tattoo
There is no problem with APPS, I already have installed even AndNav2, and There is a lot of software in the market. Something that Diamond doesnt have
This phone beat the Diamond with performance, software,easy to use and price, but not with the display resolution.
how about upgrading android 1.6 to 2.1 on htc tattoo ??? any ROM available yet??? i wanna try that version of android OS on my htc tattoo.... any input about its guide would be appreciated.....
@kashish, where r u from buddy??? u just vanished after u asked me a question??? fine... i wanna know if 3G is launcehd in India, can i use it with my tattoo with firmware update??? ur reply is highly appreciated pls....
Hey guys, I need some assistance here. I bought a Tattoo and believe me I love it - even coming from higher-end Android phones, the problem is that mine is apparently a Malaysian variant and there is no ANDROID MARKET as such - only SLIDE ME. I am not sure of the difference in availability off apps between the two, but I have heard there are only 25% of the usual apps on SLIDE ME as compared to ANDROID MARKET. Anyway, my main issue here is that I cannot get any Instant Messenger apps like Agile Messenger or doc viewers like Adobe, Quickoffice or Documents To Go. Are these available (even in paid form) for the Tattoo? I love this little phone and it is super-fast - but I NEED these apps on the Tattoo. Anyone able to shed some light for me?

Right now, I think only BSNL or MTNL provides 3G service. I just activated Vodafone's EDGE service, known as Vodafone Mobile Connect, and it works just fine with my Tattoo. GPS, Twitter, Facebook updates... all work just fine. I do hope that when more operators start providing 3G service, HTC releases an update to enable 3G. I am pretty sure that it's a software limitation and not a hardware limitation.

Documents To Go is available.
Oh really? I will check that out on SlideMe and hopefully that is the case!
i wanna know how i can convert cab files to apk file.... because i can see swype application for windows mobiles being available in 4shared, but no swype apk file anywhere on the net.....
i request here, is there anyone who knows how to convert cab to apk ???? i know it may sound silly.... but i am a noob here. i also understand that it needs to be coded and all stuff.... but as i said before, i wanna know how to do it step by step..... please......
OK -Documents To Go IS indeed available for the Tattoo users out there! Looking for a good IM app next!
Meebo's a pretty good IM app. Give it a try. Available on Market.
