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) ?

haha what i meant was that i have been visiting these forums since those days (dash days).. but yes i do currently have a t-mobile HD2
thank you guys, i think i will flash my phone tonight and check out the NRG/'energy' roms, sorry to be noobish.. but could one of you direct me to the thread that shows the latest build(s) of nrg or a website.
you guys are really nice people, i appreciate your help

scratch that, i found the thread for NRG roms

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.

Is this tablet dead as far as updates with Dexter gone?

RIP elocity!
Sent by Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

I believe he just switched forums. He has posted the same ROMs on the other forum, so I don't know if that means we can expect updates there or not. In another thread here on XDA, another guy said in the next couple of months he might work on a gingerbread kernel and/or ROM.

You Can Find Dexter Over At Tabletroms.com

Just noticed that we got bumped down to "Legacy & Low Activity Devices"

I went right over and registered, guess I'm done here for now.

He probably does still have his account here, but if someone probably wanted a quicker respond directly to him tabletroms might be quicker seeing as he is a frequent user at that forum now.

GB on Tab

anyone know an easy (noob friendly) way for me to upgrade my software on my original galaxy tab? it is slow and boring =)

why not search for a post that is related to your query.
that might help.

i tried
didn't really see anything
plus i am looking for suggestions =)

maybe if you told us which tab you have, we could make some recommendations...

There's actually quite a large range of Tabs, both GSM and CDMA for carrier-specific models (like Springs SCH models) and country specific variations like the P1000 T/L/N/R etc.
Also, you might want to try and search again to find what you're looking for since there are bounds to be instructions (like those included with releases of the Overcome ROM for example). Remember also, that the best method would be to simply connect your device to your PC running Samsung Kies and check for an official release before you get too far.
In future, try and be VERY specific about what you have, what you're looking to a achieve (custom ROM/stock upgrade) and what you have to deal with: things like what device you have, what computer you're using etc. This will make it a lot easier for the community to help you out.

there are at least three-four distinct models of the Gtab, CDMA, Wifi, GSM and Tmo US GSM. Since you have the latter, I'd recommend the Overcome Kratos rom, at this point. But there are other choices.

Questions to 70it2 / 70B owners

Hello All,
I have few questions to 70it2 owners:
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
- How is screen ?
- Did you try to root it ?
If you successfully rooted it, I'd be interested in a dd of mmc to check if I can get the aos keys. It's completely safe for your device, and it would help me for the future...
Thanks,
LeTama

Archos 70BIT2
- How does it charge ? Through specific charger or usb port ?
the charge is great, had no problem with it. It comes with 3 adapters from 3 countries:US, HongKong and Europe. Also with a USB cable and
- How is screen ?
screen is 7 inch and it picks up fast but regardless of the cpu usage but try not to use more than one app at the same time
- Did you try to root it ?
still looking but no one has not posted intructions to root it because this device just came out recently. I hope to root it ASAP because i have only have less than 15 days to return this. Thats all

Hi,
Thanks for the replies! Questions were a bit obsolete as I purchased a froyo it2 one (and killed it, but that's another story).

I rooted froyo it2, but don't try what's there on yours, it won't work. Root is a bit different on this tablet, but I can't do it without having it, too dangerous. Sorry!

Shame they won't release ICS for it...

Is it really that much different from the G9?

Yes, it's completely different, soc is previous generation, omap3, single core and slower graphics.
But I don't buy the argument that it would be too slow, we see it running quite smooth on slower platform. And it's supposed to be more efficient than Honeycomb after all.

He haven't written his model, is it a froyo or HC version?
If you have a froyo version try the SDE menu enabler make by Letama works like a charm (thanks again to you ).

Yes, I assumed it was Honeycomb one as it has been a long time since I haven't seen a froyo IT2, I presumed it's an extinct race

I wonder for how much you bought it. If you bought it at carphonewarehouse, listed as 70IT and sold for 99 pounds, I think you shouldn't complain...

i have bought it 110euros but i had 100euros of reduction from the firm where i work.
210e real for an error of marketing like my tab. It's just the reality, then i can complain lol
and i don't think that this tab will receive a good support from archos.
It was annonced an archos it first generation like you.

too many ROMs in development section..help!

What is the newest P7510 rom if I want to go back (and not have to reroot) and what are the best 1 or 2 custom roms?
Too many in development section to know what I am looking at.
Links would be helpful.
Thanks
Also when is the official ics coming out.

You're going to get an answer that says every custom ROM is the best. because it its all opinion, personal preference, and device specific.
Task14 is the best IMHO. I'm using a USA wifi only GT-P7510
As far as newest, I don't remember.
Official ICS? Some may have estimated guesses, but there isn't an officially confirmed date I've seen.
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.

If you want stable and fast then Task 14 is the best..
CleanROM, Overcome and BinDroid are also nice..
If you want bleeding edge with bugs then try AOKP..

Thanks. I'll try it. Is there a way to back up the current rom I have to restore it if I want and can't find the official one?

Yup.. While in CWM select backup and let it complete before wipe and new rom install

Well that's a full nandroid backup right? I just want the rom to possibly reflash later instead of restoring an old "image"

The gtab has virtually no roms compared to the s2. Its impossible trying to distinguish one from another in the dev section. :L

Got task 14 on here now. Doesn't seem too different.

HDMI Mirroring
Does Task14 support HDMI mirroring through the adapter. I already bought the adapter thinking that mirroring works automatically.
Please help

Thanks. I did stumble upon this page. It doesn't say anything about HDMI mirroring.
Anyways, ill just try and will then update the thread.

it works but ..
HDMI mirroring works. I would rather say it doesn't work. When I checked the forum, I see that the screen flickers every few seconds. Mine flickers a few times every second. It's a software bug which can be solved by flashing Pershoot kernel in recovery mode.

ok thanks. i do have pershoot, but i dont use hdmi mirroring. i dont see the need for it. i am usually watching tv or shows on the dvr with my tablet in my hand.
what do u use it for?

recording
This is my office tablet and we need it for HD recording.
My boss bought a Asus EEE Pad Transformer TF101 (not Prime) tablet which does HDMI mirroring out of the box. So, I am not be dealing with kernel flashing for now. Hopefully, in the future.
