newbie alert!!!

Sorry if this is a stupid question guys, but I've just bought a HD2 with the energy rom already on it, what is this and why is it better than the standard rom?

Hi,
You have 100% right - it is stupid question.
ROM - It's another name for operating system with drivers and settings, its a compilation.
Why You use Win XP on Your desktop instead of Windows 3.11 ?
! Because it's better, it's faster, more intuitive, more stable, it's.....
Each ROM is developed for some reason - somebody fix something or change few things.
In my case HTC gives a sh_ _ on me with ROM updates for my region / country - Only thing to do was to flash unofficial ROM.
Read, then ask question.

wow, thats the way to make a neebie welcome. I know you guys want people to read and search more before posting but come on... Im glad not everone is like that.
I also have a couple of newbie questions but ill post in about 6 months after ive read every single post on the site to make sure no one hs asked the question before.
RReckless

Don't make a evil daemon from me , I start with joke , then gently tell what is what and why with ROM, and on the end give a good advice to search and read before asking.

know it all geeks
dont worry bout him mate u always get some gimp know it all like him on here theres lots of helpful people on here 2

perhaps I should've worded it better, I've haven't had a standard hd2 as it was like this when I bought it, but I meant what is different on the energy rom to standard? also is there asetting to lock the keypad when I press the bottom left phone button? mine just turns the screen off but all you have to do is repress it and your back on, I've already called someone in my pocket

In regards to your Energy ROM question, I've been to the HD2 ROM forum (couple of clicks back from this one) and the top posting is the Energy ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
There is a brief outline of the advantages, straight from the developer themselves.

make sure you DO
its extremely annoying for the regulars on this site to keep seeing the same noob questions asked over and over again.
That is what SEARCH is for.

Lock the phone manually by pressing the start button then tap LOCK (at the bottom of the screen), then next time the screen goes off it will lock automatically.

what exactly do you mean by "regulars?" Is this how "regulars" welcome a new user on this forum?
i don't see why "regulars" like you, act like you are getting paid that a noob redundant question annoys you. You are not even obligated to answer any questions that you do not feel like answering.

The reason regulars are like that is it wastes everyone's time when you ask the same questions over and over.
It wastes the noob's time typing the message when a simple search up the top can answer it in a few clicks.
It wastes the noob's and the regular's time by making them sift through pages of redundant threads rather than having new original issues - if a noob has an original issue, it may take ages for someone to find it to answer, thats if they manage to find it at all.
A lot of noobs tend to ask the redundant question without searching, then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply. This would move it above an issue that may well have a higher importance, yet it would have been quicker for them to search than to trawl through and find their thread to reply to.
If noobs did more searching, we wouldn't have to keep explaining the reasons why we ask noobs to search every time they don't.

Having said the above, let's pretend a newbie have joined the forum today and have asked a question that may have been asked and solved already or better yet asked something that a no brainer can do.
Does that make it annoying for "regulars" already? Your explanation sounds more like you are saying that "regulars" are obligated to answer questions from a noob, yet it is not.
and you said ---> "then when the thread moves through several pages, they bump it with a "no one going to help!?!" reply." <---- and these kind of things affect the so called "regulars"? Does it hurt??? that you need to harass a newbie?
My reaction would be, so what if it moved several times??? I've seen a lot of a very old post that is being answered to this date.

Theres no need for your reaction here.
Just ask yourself this... why is there a sticky thread right at the top of this forum that tells people how to use search?

That sticky serves as guide to a do a search, because not all users know how to use search.
My point is, you and the rest of the so called "regulars" act like they have the right to harass or treat newbies like they did have no education at all.
It doesn't mean you see "newbie or junior member" then they should be treated this way.
There's another way of saying things like "Hey man, try searching the forum by using this" instead of "make sure you DO its extremely annoying for the regulars on this site to keep seeing the same noob questions asked over and over again."

I mean theres a moderater sticky saying the exact same thing i am saying!
Granted his words might seem friendlier then mine but look at the post i was replying to. Theres an example of someone using sarcasm to try and make the point that it takes too much time to search.
The reason it takes a long time to search is because noobs DONT search and post the same questions over and over. Its an endless circle of death.

How to remove things from storage memory

When I went to run youtube I got an error about not enough memory. I have only 6mb of storage memory left. I uninstalled some programs and got 10mb of storage memory. Is there a way of freeing up storage memory?
I have an SD card installed and I thought I had installed all programs to that, is there any thing I can do to get more memory other than flash the rom?

maybe you should of searched, because there is a few threads like this already, sorry to be harsh but its the mood im in

I hate to sound as harsh, but that bit of info is , I bet, in the user manual ....

Why don't you no alls just f*** O**. I was after some help not a lot of abuse

reply to OP
@Dhester,
you may want to check this video on some tips you might find very useful as far as internal storage memory is concerned:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDOoL8ohwGE&playnext_from=TL&videos=0ai4J0ukerc
also, clear out cache every time you use opera...

Thanks cezzarmicu for the help. Its nice to see a junior member has the time to reply whilst two senior members are so uop their own backsides that they can't help a newbie.

Kind of proves my point , I am sure he just did a google search ...
None of us here mind helping people with actual problems, but clearing internal storage, or installing programs to storage card instead of the device , is basic usage.
If you just did not understand how to do it, maybe you should have said, "I have searched and searched, and I just don't get it can't figure it out..." I bet you would have gotten a nicer response.
But this "Teach me how to use my phone because I can't type google.com into my browser.", attitude just gets old ...
And I refer you to this post .... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631069

Okay I could have typed google and come up with 60000000 different sites with useless information. I choose to come here as it is fellow users of the HD2, but I appear to be wrong it is just full of self importent arseholes who can't be bothered to help someone, but they have got the time to repeat the "why can't you type google".
So if I get band from here because I asked a question and got a load of **** from some know all arsehole, and told them so I won't care.

well most people would of at least attempted a search in hd2 section before asking.
you may have gotten a more civil reply .
most situations have already been covered a couple of times
and tbh you're less likely to be given info if you spout your illiterate mouth off at members

+1 for sure ....
Now I don't see anyone in this thread but the OP using fowl language , the forum guides state to search before posting, that is what we suggested, maybe in a harsh way but in no way degrading or insulting ...
This is a tech type forum not a "Spoon Feeding" forum, most people here expect persons posting to have basic knowledge, and understanding before posting and asking questions ...
I think a mod should read this and then decide if it should be locked or remain open for further education ....

you should install cleanram as it helps free some ram...also get cleartemp as it'll show you what's eating your space up like googlemap and youtube caches so you can delete them easily...and finally don't forget to soft reset
one more very important thing which saves a LOT of space if you're on stock rom or your cooked rom doesnt have it(highly unlikely) is moving the album cache...read the thread here and look out for 4tune's cab
you should also read tboy200's thread and look at tips 65 and 67

Hey now kiddo - behave yourself and calm-down!

Read the damn manual OP and use the search function. If you don't like to sift through the results from the search function, I'd gladly come and crap in your threads each and every time to remind you to use the search function whilst still not intentionally providing you with any help whatsoever just because you're an e-douche.

Well i've read through and i think i'm comming down with the same strain of lazy-itis the op has because right about the same time i figured out that he wasn't bothered enough to look through the first 20 google results and also couldn't be arsed to pay enough attention to his english teacher to learn how to speak to people properly; i lost the will to type anything that could possibly help. It's so bad i can't even be bothered to berate him for being generally very rude to the people with the skill and (normally) the willing to help him.
I think i might just go back to flashing my old diamond with the latest energy diamond rom, installing hspl and a new radio rom. Then i'll probably finish setting up my Leo with the new energy leo rom and finish testing a memory usage theory i have.
Ah well sucks to be him. Maybe he should learn to KEEP HIS ****ING MOUTH SHUT AND BE RESPECTFUL!!!!
Oh, sorry, did i just swear. My mistake. Next time i'll remember to read the rules of the forum first so i don't get reported to the mods and subsequently banned.

embarrassed to be a hd2 owner!

I am so embarrassed to be a HD2 owner nowadays, all i see on this site and other site's is people invading threads asking how to "flash" this on there HD2 and when will this be available for there HD2's.
Why cant everyone read all the information available and if they cant understand what to do, read it again as every question that somebody could think of in reguards to there HD2 and ANDROID has been asked and answered many many times and when i see how stupid and lazy loads of yous are i feel shamed like ive never felt before!
to top it off ive just seen a thread about a guy who has named therefore blamed a chef for what he believed bricked his phone yet it states everywhere do not try as its for DEVELOPERS ONLY!
please please you silly people get a grip and read the infomation given and watch the youtube videos and if thats not enough use the HD2 Linux/Android Q&A Thread - ASK YOUR QUESTIONS HERE!! thread here

If you care so much about useless posts, then why make one yourself? All you can do to combat useless/redundant/rude posts is to hit the little report button and wait for mods. Your little rant isn't going to do anything to stop this. It doesn't just happen with HD2 users, it is human nature to be lazy and look for the easiest solution.
I completely understand your sentiment but honestly who is going to listen to you?

Cool Story bro.

Welcome to internet forums.
Any forum I'm a member of has lazy people who post some simpleton question when their answer is either in a sticky or in another post on the same exact page.

stupidity and laziness is a disease! Its mother natures way of fighting back. I guess she figures we will kill ourselves off.
Kinda like the lady who got hit by a car for following gps directions.
As quoted from c-net "Why trust the machines when you can trust your own eyes, your own brain, your own basic sense of survival"?
Most people seem to lack common sense. Even my own brother lacks common sense.
I laid out the tutorial i found on youtube to do a cogswap on his ps2.
It had everything he could possibly need. I even watched the video 2 or 3 times.
His first question? Where do i get the files he says!
I started to wonder if we are related !!!!!!!!!
Overall Ive learned that you cant let this stuff you down. 99% of any questions I have go un noticed. I do my research ahead of time so that I can provide the proper info. Ive learned that if its out there you can find it even if you have to chop and screw your search results to get to it.

Joseph, this happened because- while pressing the command, you must be facing north west while holding your hd2 above your head. Also, be sure to shake the device intensely. It will help to chant mekaleckahilecahinyho while following this procedure because it will unlock the ever so elusive feature of tv out on the hd2.
Hope this helps!

Hehe. Thanks. Long time lurker, first time poster. This place is amazing.

Hey OP, it looks like your 60 posts have not taught you anything. This is a community. Do you know the role of a "community"? Use Google and get the definition. We are ALL here to help, regardless of how fed up you are with the same posts by new people. and just to let you know, I also get mad when I see those kind of posts. However, my 100+ posts (which are not much) and my small contributions have taught me that I have to be tolerant way over my limits. Stop whinin' and start contributing.
This thread makes you as stupid as you would consider any of the other topics/users. Stop wasting the space because now, we will have to go over one more post on the list in order to find the one we were looking for.
btw, use your words wisely.

Sounds like you were trying to revert back to stock. I assume the stuff you are talking about is yellow. If so try to use odin again.

The obvious question to me is, did you try Odin again after it failed? Logic would suggest that if Odin failed I'd have to do it again.

This as well as learning to use Google instead of posting a thread on a forum.

It is because of your tar file on odin.it was two small.try re odin ing it with a tar file of 255 mb or something like that.happened to me before too when I was a super noob but fear not you'll eventually become less of a noob too as time passes

Using google first saves you time because its an immediate response, it saves everyone else time having to an a simple question, and it saves our forums from being cluttered. I said nothing rude and I would have answered his question had it not already been answered (which I highlighted with my quote and saying "this"). If you want to respond to my adult advice and response by acting childish, that is your prerogative but I will continue to post help to those who made an effort to get it.

thats i guess meh cool but a simple reply/explaination would have been "flash odin again" instead of repeating the long rant over and over again too. maybe its jus best to leave this place altogether

Maybe before voiding your warranty and messing with your $500 phone you should do some research and be prepared for the plethora of things that can go wrong.

I believe his point was, however, that before one starts an endeavor that can break a piece of $500 hardware one should generally make sure they understand all of the possible outcomes and how to deal with them which he pointed out that you didn't. He could have said it in a more polite manner but he was correct.

I have ben to this screen when my odin got interupted. Pull the battery for a couple minutes. Hold down the one key on the keyboard and then power on while holding it. This puts you in download mode. Odin back to stock.

It appears I have one thanks or maybe I cant count. More than likely since I dont cry about wanting thanks that could be it. The purpose of a forum is to get help. Regardless if the answer could be found on google the forum would not need to exist. I am on one forum and it is the most mature forum there is. I see question repeated over and over again. Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

Even in this case people still answer it like it was asked the first time. If all forums were like that, forums would be a much better place.

I do not understand why it is difficult to simply search for an answer. If you cannot find the answer, then post and people will help. As I've stated I do very often provide detailed explanations to people even to those who had not searched for the answer however I always add that in the future they should seek out the answer on their own first. His question had been answered and as such I stated that he should try and figure things out on his own. I have never begged for a "Thanks" and I could care less about them but I have spent hours of my time helping others fix issues and there are many people who can attest to that. Leatherneck has done the same, in fact he has even helped me a few times that I can think of in recent history. On the other hand, the only posts I've seen from you are complaints about other users or asking other users for help. The point of these forums is to allow a place for developers to gather and together fix and hack away at new phones and such, not to aid in every little personal disaster. That is why it is a FORUM RULE to search. A rule for which violators can receive infringements or even bans. By telling people to search, I am not telling them to shut up I am showing people how to be an active member of this community and if you cannot grasp that then your place here is very limited.

Nom glad to help.why you ask you said thank you

And what is the error Code?

725 & 238.

start clean from flashing HSPL4 2.08hspl and formatting sdcard to fat32. then continue

Seriously I am TIRED of seeing posts like these in the DEVELOPMENT SECTION of the HD2. If this was the Q and A section I'd still help you. But I feel inclined to post useless stuff on this thread as you have not bothered to read ANYTHING before coming here.
I know everyone starts new, but so did I and I certainly did not post in the DEV section first.
So please, get a mod to move this thread and then I may help you

first off, this post was addressed to developers because ive been told that it has a unique issue with this phone, not model of phone. second, if your not a developer, then its not addressed to you. scroll past it. third,calm down. its just a post. not, the MAGNA CARTA. im not trying to reform or change the way this forum works, im simply doing what i was told to and trying to find a developer that MIGHT need to write a different code for this phone. thats why i posted it here.

Development - where people post their work and things they have made.
Q&A - where people ask questions and have them answered.
There really is no justification of posting this in the development section, so please don't argue about that. You made a mistake, just admit you were wrong. As for your issue you really need to give us more detail. Also, if you think developers are going to take their time to specifically help you as an individual when the chances are you're the one who's made some mistakes then you're sorely mistaken.
Now, as for your issue, you haven't given enough detail. What were the exact steps that you followed? Did the things recommended earlier help?
