will i kill myself if.... - HD2 General

i go from kumar classic 2.0 to the new tmobile rom? i hear some.people love it and some hate it.
any advice?

test it out, but a lot of cooks are implementing the new 2.13 base into their new roms.

Normally I can't stand stock ROMS, but I just got a HD2 and it shipped with the new ROM and I actually like it.
ETA: This is also the first time GPS has just worked for me. Like 3 second lock times. I remember pulling up Bing and then thinking I would have to download that nearly monochrome GPS Test program, and then wait 20 minutes. And bam, it had my location already. It seems like everything I need just works. I would have definitely switched if they didn't actually fix the SMS client. Energyroms used to use that awful designed-by-monkeys message client--wait, nevermind, that's an insult to the monkeys. Anyway, who designs a message client that tries to load 100 (Did I even get to 100 messages before it was unusable?) at the same time? Did this lonely programmer have no friends they could text and see how it didn't work beyond 20 messages? Did they expect people to routinely purge their messages?
Dare I say the current client's good? I'm glad I actually tried it out as this is the first time since Sense's entire existence where I actually don't hate the HTC messaging client with this seething rage.

<REQ> Diamond screen rotate with animation

Is it possible that can make screen rotate with animation on Diamond, like Iphone & Omina? It looks so cool!!!
So coool... And totally useless... Come on, why do you want that? Is your social life so miserable that you need a phone with sexy animations to look like a nice person? That's pathetic!
clandestino.
I must say that if your going to choose a good looking phone like the diamond then whats wrong with having good looking animations. If your not bothered what your phone looks like then you dont really need the diamond.
Dont be nasty just because your in a bad mood

Nah yesterday was just his anniversary for not getting laid in [insert random period of years].
just because someone doesn't find the use in a feature doesn't mean everyone else has to be without it.
If you're not ending this attitude conversation, I will! Back to topic!
I really can't believe nobody things that this should be a must on the Diamond having a delay when it rotates.

Those are very nice , you can't say the iphone animations suck, because the Apple OS can handle them, WM sucks so hard it will make your phone ****ed up if you apply those animations ...
Edited Content: You probably didnt read what the MOD said 2 posts above yours
Anyway, I'd just like to say that I'm relatively new to this forum and i'm very impressed with the help and quick responses to questions. You guys are so good, it's scary! Please keep up the good work. And, THANK YOU for giving my phone abilities I never knew it had!

One last warning before I close this thread: focus on the topic and restrain yourself from useless posting/fighting, arguing.
The iPhone kinda cheats to make those animations... it takes an instant screenshot and then animates that, it's not true ui animation.
There was a program that was called PocketSuspendFX that did that with WinMo during shutdown/startup and it worked pretty well.
WinMo 6.x is very able to do this but I'd want it "done right". It's a wonder why MS didn't implement this in the 6.1 update.

Download a program called Kinoma FreePlay and it has built in Animation for when you flip the phone and it works perfect.

Naughty by Nature Theme + music Giveaway (wm6.1 Rhodium)

Some months ago, hoping to win a Touch Pro2 from Microsoft and Naughty by Nature, I entered a contest on facebook. I didn't win the device, but I did win a Naughty by Nature theme by xda-devs' own PROBEX. I didn't have anything to put it on, and if I had, I'm not a huge fan. So it has sat unused.
I figure someone should enjoy it, so I'm looking for someone to give it to. FYI, I believe it to be winmo6.1 only. I'm not sure xda-devs is the best place to find a TP2 user still on 6.1, but there is music too. Windows Mobile told me that the prize pack zip includes "Naughty's new single, the .cab file of the TouchFlo 3D Naughty By Nature skin, as well as the full Independent Leaders CD".
EDIT: Giveaway Closed. PMs to winners going out soonish.
Subject to change at my whim, my plan is to offer it to (in the following order)
the most deserving (as determined by me) developer of any freeware or donateware (or similarly generousware) tweaks, software, ROMs etc who asks for it or
the first senior xda-devs member to ask for it or
the first of anyone else to ask for it.
Ask in this thread if you're interested, PM requests will likely be ignored. I'll end the giveaway at my own whim, so don't dilly-dally. If you're a developer of something that's not linked in your signature, and want priority consideration based on it, link to it in your post.
WOW!!!! if nobody has requested it... I would love to have it!!! i been looking for a sweet theme that would go with my brown tmobile phone... that font is off that font is crazy.. I also really like the music on boot up screen.. Let me know if you have it still or not...
I would be more then Happy for the theme. I also entered The contest and didnt win but got a TP2 anyway.

I do. You're first in line at the moment, though I do want to hold it open long enough that interested developers and cooks can get a shot. They've enhanced my WinMo experience, so I'd like to do the same for them. Do you have winmo6.1 still?

Yeah, I ended up getting the Verizon version a couple of weeks ago. I got a good deal, and I like the black better than chrome, but free would have beat it . I was really close to being the first post too. If I hadn't paused from reloading to go get a drink...
No problem, i understand, I am currently running 6.5 BUT for that theme I would change in a minute lol.

n8izzle just (selflessly, props to you dude) PM'd me mentioning you were a developer. Sorry, I just kind of blanked out, didn't realize that was your cooked rom in your sig (other devs entering, feel free to mention your stuff, I'm not the brightest bulb so I might miss it otherwise)
You freely or freelyish distro your work? I see the DL link, I'm just checking.

I hear that. You're at the front of the line for now if you can put it to use. Can you? I don't know a ton about the Tilt2, but I thought it shipped with 6.5 right from the start.

Yes the ATT version shipped with 6.5, but in the process of getting my Tilt 2 My wife went out and got me an unlocked one that has 6.1 on it still. I use that one for work while the tilt 2 is for building and learning

The Giveaway has ended. Congrats to both zelendel and n8izzle who will each end up with something.
n8izzle pointed out to me in a PM that zelendel was a cook when he didn't have to, I would have missed it, and zelendel thought n8izzle should get part of the prize for his good deed. So the theme will go one way, and music the other. I'm glad the recipients are such good sports. Contest winners aren't normally so generous to their fellow entrants.

HTC HD2 - A Love story.

So, I've allways been a half way geek. Never to patient with learning to much of anything - and most of the time pretent to know more than i do.
Maybe more a Gadget Fan than a geek.. d;
So about 8 days ago i resived my HTC HD2, long awaited. And since i never had any other experience other than regular cells or Symbian OS, I figured it would a challenge using WM...
Cause I promised myself never to turn to apple.. NEVER!
SO about me thinkin it was going to be hard - God was I right. But never than less I had my play around with it, and looking at it now, im learning to love it more as the days go by..
Soo..
Thing's I like (+):
Huge screen (Bright and Beautyfull)
Sleek Design and great build quality. (Exept for the cam sticking out like that)
The posibiliy's for play with almost anything, and customize it as you like.
Thing's I'm not to crazy about (-):
Lags and failurs happent few times (daily)
The matter of time I have to use to find new apps. (I Blame MS)
And me beeing a noob still cant figur it all out yet.
To round up all this I just want to say that this is goin to be a phone Im going to hold on to, and love to start exploring to posibilitys in WM.
Im allready making some icons since I'm a great PS nerd. Going to share them at some point.
A few unsolved issues (I looked around to answer with no luck) to mention.
1. In the reviews the slidebar include Twitter AND facebook. But i can only add or remove Twitter for some reason. How do you add other programs to the slide bar?
2. How do I take a screenshot on the phone? (would love to share my scrren of the day )
Hehe, nice story
anymore?
Hi,
Glad that you're happy, in general. I don't think that you can add Facebook to the "Slider" AKA Home Screen Tabs (although I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Registry hack somewhere on this site. I'm guessing that you know you can add it to your Quick Links?
I'm sure I read somewhere on here about a tool to do screenshots too. Seach and discover (hopefully).
Regards.

misc. things about hd2

hey everyone, nice to meet you all, been lurkin' these forums since i got my t-mobile dash on its release day.
but anyways i've got a few questions and comments
what is the most popular and most highly supported custom rom? would it be Kumars? - what roms are the fastest?
-i have bsb tweaks and c00kie on my phone. my phone will 'wake' on a new text and if i try to unlock it before i get the notification (but after it waking) it'll freeze up. its pretty exasperating
-is it my fault? i'm almost always constantly on my phone and it seems that every phone i ever own tends to lag or lock up from time to time, i wonder if im.. 'doing too much' with it.. but i wouldn't expect such a powerful phone as this..

I think energyrom might be the most popular. I would suggest searching youtube for HD2 ROM review, or something like that. You'll see a couple reviews showing each and you'll be able to decide for yourself.

No, it's not your fault, it happens to the best of us. BTW, the lighter ROMs like energy seem to do less of that than the stock. I think it's kind of like buying a PC with a bunch of bloatware, a lean OS always runs faster and more stable.
On the same vain, I have a Droid, a 3gs and the HD2, and I must say the HD2 lags and freezes the most, followed by the Droid and the the Iphone is the most stable, even after jail-breaking and modifying it extensively. I attribute this to the tight integration of the OS and hardware, unlike Android and WiMo which have different OS and Hardware manufacturers, and thus leads to bloat and incompatibilities.

Wait, what? I just noticed this, lol. I hope you meant T-Mobile HD2, otherwise you're in the wrong forum and I waisted my time replying.
NRG's roms are really good too. Come pre-loaded with a lot of apps. Great on the eyes (eye candy ) and very fast. Are you running the stock rom right now (that you are experiencing the lockups with) ?

Anyone know how to make opera load mobile versions of sites like youtube? Every time I check the setting to load mobile sites, it loads a funky version of the site. It will not actually load the mobile site as I can see it's not in the URL. I can type in the URL "www.m.youtube.com" but it never does it by default. Is there a setting to set in the opera config to fix this? My main reason for fixing is I would love to have youtube links sent to me in email open the youtube app but it requres the mobile version of youtube to load in opera.

Froyo overall impressions

I know there are comments about froyo scattered through some threads but I couldn't find a dedicated impression thread. Would those who have the latest froyo please chime in with their overall impressions? Thanks!

Yeah I wouldnt mind hearing from someone that came from say CM5 to the latest stock Froyo. Is it better? Is it worth flashing now seeing as how CM6 is about a week or so away?
I would try it now myself, but I can't give up the dumb little things. (such as trackball wake)
I've used every CM version and every leaked version of Froyo. I was surprised that the final Froyo release seemed faster and smoother than FRF83. The browser seems really fast now and app switching is great thanks to JIT. I like my FRF85B Froyo final setup right now more than I did CM5.0.8. I can't wait for CM6 though.
Super. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you Google and anyone else on the OHA that contributed to this.
It's great. I love it. I love it even more when someone hands me a HTC Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile on it... Microsoft shouldn't even be in the mobile business. They should leave it to the experts. It was sad.
If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it.

Look at my sig pic, WM is all I ever used for years. I dabbled with android with emulators on my Fuze, then finally made the jump when the N1 was released. After using it for 1 day, I was emotional.
I really can't think of one single thing I miss with WM...

I don't think the JIT would have much impact on app switching. The highmem kernel OTOH makes a huge difference. My launcher was always relaunching when switching from big apps such as the browser or navigation. Since upgrading to froyo I haven't seen the launcher restart once.

Yeah you are probably right. I just thought I read somewhere that JIT had benefits for loading apps, it might have just been for 3rd party apps because JIT converts to native code before processing (something like that).

The JIT actually wouldn't have any impact on loading times. The standard interpreted code is always run initially. It's only once the app starts running that the JIT is able to locate frequently accessed blocks of code that would benefit from compiling to native code.

I too have used CyanogenMod since I had my G1. I DID play with, and greatly enjoy the Froyo ROM when it was released by PaulObrien.
But I did miss some of Cyanogens special additions, so I went back to it a few weeks ago.
Now with the latest Froyo out, I may change over - AGAIN!

hahaha, funny you mentioned that.
A co-worker of mine approached me, and said he bought this Androidâ„¢ phone from a friend. He heard that I know about Android, rooting, apps, etc. so he had some questions for me. He hands me the phone, and I was thrilled to hold this LARGE HTC DEVICE in my hand. I haven't held an EVO, yet, so imagine my joy!!! My first time ya know so I was honored.
It was branded T-MOBILE though ... hhmm, this can't be right!!! It should say Sprint!!!
After seeing the homescreen and tapping/flicking/swiping for all of 1.0 seconds, I handed it back to him and told him he has a Windows Mobile device - NOT ANDROID, and boy oh boy, was he pissed!!!! LMAO
Poor guy!
"If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it."
I let him play with my Nexus for a few minutes. He offered to buy it from me for $450 .... nuh uh homeboy! This is my baby!
