I have the touch pro two, CDMA with Mighty ROM on it (MightyROM_RhodiumW_032310) and i'd really like to put the HTC messaging client on it. I downloaded a .cab file that installed it, but it just freezes when i open it, and i think it was originally made for GSM. Does someone know where i can get this addon for my phone (or maybe some more talented people could cook it up). I had this feature on the Juicy ROM i used and i loved it, would really like to get it back, pls help.

In my experience the HTC messaging client is really slow if you install it via cab or as an addon.
If you want better speed and what not, you should flash to a ROM that has that built in.
EnergyRom I know has it built in..
I ended up just flashing to he juicy rom, still really nice. Swype rules!

Yeah Thats good Stuff
Alright, so I have no experience making a ROM, but I figure I might as well learn. I personally am interested in a ROM for the HD2 that just uses Titanium - none of that messy Sense nonsense - and to the best of my knowledge the current ROM chefs aren't too interested in that.
However, considering I can always just turn off Sense, it seems like a lot of work for just me. Is anyone else out there interested in such a thing? I presume you'd want it based on 6.5.x, not the standard 6.5?
If there's enough interest, I'll get started tonight.
Also, if you are interested, please post what other add-ons you'd want pre-installed. I'd like to keep it fairly basic, and allow users to add their own customizations later, but I figure maybe at least 4-column start menu and slider at the bottom.
Would be a good idea to have one. I'd love to have compatible themes as well for it. It's really tough searching for them as nobody is really into that anymore. Titanium would fly on our phones as HTC Sense for WinMo is pretty slow compared to it's Android counterpart. I ran HTC Sense on my Nexus One and it was crazy fast and the Nexus One has less RAM and ROM space than the HD2
I like to use the phone without Sense, but recently with the Elegancia ROM from steve0007 I have been using it with Sense enabled. When I disable Sense, there is a weird issue on the HD2, and I think I experienced it with other ROMs too, where the default menus don't disappear from the screen once I have tapped what I need. They just stay, blocking the screen, and the only solution is a soft reset. It'd be nice to have the ability to enable and disable Sense at will without an issue like this. A ROM without Sense at all might be a solution but I prefer having both options.
Miri has a couple options out, Titanium only or without both. But you have to go over to that 'other site' to get them.

Just checked it out. Looks like its based on 6.5. Nothing wrong with that per se, but without Sense you lose the HTC apps like contacts, calendar, etc and 6.5.x is a nice upgrade over 6.5 in that area.

I'm sorry, can you explain this a little more? I've used stock, Energy, and Kumar's ROMs all with Titanium and I don't think I've seen that one.
I'm using a really basic rom right now with HTC's stuff disabled. I prefer the WinMo 6.5 style today screen, SMS app, and speed. I've tried a bunch of roms and sense just bogs the phone down to the point that they keyboard becomes slow and unresponsive and that drives me bonkers!
FYI - I've been playing around with kitchens, and have what appears to be a stable version of a fast, basic, Titanium-only ROM running on my phone.
I'll play around with it some more to sort out bugs and clean up my kitchen a bit more. Look for a thread with the ROM download in the coming days!
I'm relatively new, and will do a search here shortly, but Titanium? My biggest gripe with this phone is the messaging app. It always lags heavily every time I get a new text, as well as other weird time stamp issues. I would be interested in a ROM w/o the HTC messaging app, and if Titanium is it, them I'm game!
Like I said, I will be searching RIGHT after this about what all this is, and if there's a solution to what I'm looking for now.

Titanium is the default Windows Mobile 6.5 interface. If you want to see what it looks like - go to the settings tab, hit menu->all settings->today, go to the Items tab, and switch to Windows Default.
And you're in luck - I am using the standard Windows Mobile messaging app as well.
I got a ROM building as I type this, I'll let you guys know how it goes

Here is a link to the ROM: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654218
It is for the T-Mobile HD2. It is probably the best looking and most stable I have used on any Windows Mobile phone...and I used MANY on my Touch Pro2.

How did you get the standard winmo messaging app? Even after I disabled the sense UI it still used the sense messaging...

Sense UI and HTC messaging client are different but interdependent.
The HTCmessaging client may still function without sense UI.
If you want windows messaging, try here or need a cooked ROM like my Lite version ROM.
How is this coming along?
Anyone have any links to some Titanium ROMs?
i know nrg always puts out a titanium rom
NRG does have a Titanium Rom, however I have noticed a lot of programs are pre-packaged into the Rom that I would never use.
An Elegancia Titanium Rom would be the best of both worlds in my opinion. No fluff and allows for your own additions. Or a NRG Rom without the extras. Just my .02 in what I would like to see.

I would recommend either Energy or Kumar's Titanium ROM, depending on what you're looking for.
I had something that was ok, not great, when the more established ROM chefs started putting out Titanium ROMs, so I figured I'd just leave it up to them.
Do you have a link for Kumars Titanium Rom? I see the Lite version but is that the same as Titanium or is there a separate thread which I am not seeing?
I'm going to download the Energy Rom but have a feeling it will still have too much added for my liking.
Hi guys! sorry if this has already been posted, but i really cant find the answer anywhere, and im a heavy reader of the forum.
Is there any way to install HTC Sense by myself on a "no sense" android version?
i know most u guys hate sense, but i find it quite usefull, as it brings a good calendar widget (full screen syncronised with google calendar), the people widget (that syncronises with facebook app automatically) and friendstream (which i like a lot to keep me posted with news, people and tweets updates).
The reason why i dont just install an android version with htc sense already on, is cos i have noticed that all versions with sense, have the camera limited to 3mpx, but the ones running froyo 2.2 can be set at 5 mpx.
sorry if the question has an obvious answer that i couldnt figure out myself.
I'm looking find a solution for this too. I've tried to use some .apk files under /system/app from Desire ported rom but it doesn't work under Nexus One based roms
MattC version includes two cameras 2&5MP
HD2 Energy Cookies ROM, 2.10.50, MattC sense
Sense requires different framework.res and a few other things. It has to be a sense rom to start.(I understand its a major ordeal to add to nonsense rom). So in short it can't be just installed. Hope this helps.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Having searched all the forum HD2 android, i can not find a ROM like android 2.3+HTC System stuff but without sense.
The ideal is to enjoy the system 2.3.3 and the HTC's USB connection Menu.
Can anyone help me?
By USB stuff, do you mean HTC sync, cos no, there isn't, it requires HTC sense.
Yeah, it's not possible to have 2.3 and anything got to do with HTC (yet).

seems the only way is 2.3+myphoneExplorer to sync outlook.
Another problem is the usb tether in android 2.3 never works with my HD2.
Hey All,
Looking for the fastest Sense ROM for the HD2. I have to use the sense ROMs because of the need for ActiveSync Encryption. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Frankenstine v1.2 based on the incredible s, fastest sense build I've used, make sure you read the instructions carefully as you should no matter what you try to flash
thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I will try it

speed is a relative thing. you may have to try a variety of flavours to see which one suits YOUR needs
Speed is relative?
I though that linpack was a good indicator of speed?
When I refer to speed, I mean applications loading / UI flow from window to window, or desktop to desktop, etc.
Non-Sense (I never get tired of that) ROMs have tended to be faster, from trying out the different ROMs (HyperdroidGBX, Hyperdroid CM7, Typhoon CyanogenMod, etc)
I'm not as concerned about WIFI or 3G speed.
I hadn't tried Frankenstein ... are you sure that this has ActiveSync Encryption? I tried the new imilka's Ginger Sense ROM, but because the ROM is really a build of gingerbread without ActiveSync Encryption, with Sense on top of it, it isn't 'truely' a Sense ROM with the usual ActiveSync Encryption included.
Thanks!
Great link!

I was aware of this link before, but didn't really know you could quickly filter and that the 'base' of the ROM for most for most of the ROMs is listed. This is all very useful information that sometimes doesn't translate to the thread.
I think I will be trying both:
Frankinstine Droid S V1.2, and
RAFDROID HD GINGERBREAD v1.0.4 (even though the camera still doesn't work)
If anyone still has an opinion as to the fastest Sense ROM (or ROM with ActiveSync Encryption), please let me know!
