Greetings,
I know am not supposed to ask questions in a new thread .. but i already posted in the Q&Athread and didnt recieve any replies
I changed my old samsung D840 for an htc hd mini .. i wanted to install apps , modify my software and so on .. but unfortunatly , after buying the mini , it turned out that 95% of the apps doesnt support the hvga screen , no games at all and ofc no themes at all .. imho , a winmo phone that doesnt support anything is totally worthless .. so i exchanged the mini for a used htc touch hd ... and i have been reading tons of guides about roms, radios , spl and so on ... and am a bit confused , and i have dozens of questions to ask , i did use the search function, and no am not lazy to google what i want , but am in desperate need for some answers that i didnt find. so here we go..
1) As for SPL .. i read the whole guide , but i was wondering if USPL is safer than HSPL since HSPL permenantly remove something from the phone .. and does it infract the warranty terms?
2) When it comes to Roms , i see a huge number of roms ... i dont want to try lots of Roms till i find the one i like , cuz i guess i will do something wrong eventually and screw up my device ... i really liked the htc hd mini UI .. i was wondering if there is a ROM ( official one for the touch hd ) which is similar to the touch HD's one?
3)Assuming that there isnt any official ROMS like the one described above , which cooked ROM got the same UI as the hd mini , with no custom fancy stuff , not too much tweaks and modifications ... just a simple smooth Rom with the HD's nice UI and could play divx movies with no frames loss
4) whats a manila , touchflo and htc sense ? i couldnt really understand the difference
5) as i understood .. Radios are responsible for communication tasks , like wifi , gps and so on ... and some radios may work better than others according to places... Well, i live in egypt... should i try all the radios to find a good one that works here? if so .. are radios installed after unlocking the spl and installing a rom?
6)I bet all those custom ROMS doesnt support arabic .. so i was wondering if there any app that enables the phone to read arabic .. just on the web and sms ... dont need an arabic keyboard and so on
7) I dont have an sd card atm? Can i still flash a ROM? are there any consequences of flashing a ROM without a memory card?
8) as mentioned in the Customizing TF3D - The Collection! thread.. there is a v3.0 manila ( thts the new one ) .. so are v2 and 2.5 meant by "old manila" .. and all of those themes work on winmo 6.1 and 6.5 and only limited by the manila version?
9) Whats a custom RUU ? task 32 and 28? do i need to use one before flashing?
Well, i guess thats it .. i know those are a lot of questions ..but i would really appreciate some answers
Thnx in advance

Unfortunately until you flash back to stock ROM you have no warranty. Looks like cheating.. I know...
About that if this will be safer... I have no idea... It is imo easier to flash ROMs with HSPL but choice is yours. Remember about one thing. If you starts flashing you cannot stop Thats why I used HSPL. Also I'm using Linux at my home computer so this is only way i can flash ROM.

Try those provided by kwbr (TOPIX ones). I'm using one atm for about 3 months. There are also other ROMs but tbh i didn't check all of them, which is obvious
Check XDA for playing videos on Blackstone cause there are some problems with playing full length videos on it. There is an app to change movies to "fit Blackstone"

ROMS are usually with radios but I can't answer your question. Some1 with better knowledge should do this.

With USPL I think you will be able to do this. I don't recommend but... Again some1 with better knowledge should answer.

Ver. 2.0 is an old manilla. Maybe ver. 2.1 can be also called the old one. Manilla 2.5 work only on WinMo from ver. 6.5 Window Mobile 6.1 can only run manilla 2.0. To be honest i'm not so sure If i understood correctly your question :/ Every theme for manila depends on manila version so you have to check theme thread for which version of manila it supports.

Damn ... I was like .. really really confused lol ... Ty so much for ur replies
It is confusing but you'll get used to it if you will spend here more time Despite Sense is for android ppl used to call manilla/touch flo HTC Sence. Dunno why... faster maybe? I'm here more than a year but I'm still noob
So to start with, Im a noob to all this, - but -
Ive spent the last , 5 hours at least, browsing through these forums, and watching youtube vids, in my wish to install wp7 or 7,5 ( didnt spot some diff ) on the HD2..
Now what I understood so far, is that there are quite a few of custom ROMs here ( wich I didnt even know what they were ) for wp7, but a lot are unfinished, or have some flaws.. I have seen similair threads, but they were sort of outdated..
My question is : IS there a " fast " and " reliable" ( non buggy / crashy ) ROM, for Wp7, and could some1 please, explain the procedure of instaling W7 , as to a retard, becouse Ill quite likely send my hd2 to eternal grounds otherwise...
Cheers
Hi,
yes there is a good Rom, tomoworr I look wich I have...
Do you have already HSPL + the right Baseband + aMAGLDR?
Hi, I really like this ROM.
Everything works fine, no lockups and reboots. Also in this issue in the first post is the video guide how to install the WP7.

thanks man
Right , I recently bought a HD2 to test out and try a few roms etc but the problem is that im experiencing lag with all of the roms that I try . Does anyone else have the same problem and how do I fix it ?
I have tried to use a nand install and data on ext install but they both give me a laggy experience .
I have also tried native sd with a class 4 card and im still receiving lag.
I just want to use normal apps like youtube , bbc , bbc iplayer and souncloud etc without any lag whatsoever .
+ the htc desire has a similar processor and ram but that phone doesnt get lag. makes me think im doing something wrong.
Thanks for the help !
Well ...

Dear Friend ... At first let me tell you that your Question is in the wrong place and you should ask it in the Q&A Threads ... but anyway , about the lag , I think your HD2 needs a new Radio ROM ( If You Have EU HD2 , use 2.15.50.14 Radio ) also you didn't say anything about the bootloader ( if it's MAGLDR or CLK ? - I recommend you to try MAGLDR which supports .RMNET ) also I recommend you to try Typhoon CM7 or HyperDroid ROMs which are smooth and stable ... good luck

Hi , sorry about putting it in the wrong section , The radio is already 2.15.50.14 , the bootloader is magldr and no matter what roms I use , I experience lag . Even on the barbone cm7 roms.
Good ... thanks for the info ...

Alright ... so there should be a problem with MAGLDR ( As you have problem with any ROM you install ) so I recommend you to try CLK or Black LK and then reflash a fast ROM using HD2 Toolkit in the following order :
1 - Do a Task29 ( wipes the phone )
2 - flash CLK / BLK ( Important Note : use the nand partition size told in the ROM's thread for a specific ROM !!! for example , for this ROM use 150 MB NAND and 5 MB cach as the OP says )
3 - flash recovery ( - Optional - if you don't have )
4 - do a full wipe ( data factory reset + cach + dalvik cach should get wiped )
5 - reboot ( what a hard level :laugh: ) .... I think this should solve it ... remember that CM7 and some of non sense ROMs are installed on NAND and are faster than Data On EXT / Native SD / SD / etc. like Typhoon CM7 and others ...but , I don't understand what you mean of lag ? ... would you please give more details ? ( about : where / when / how / how long / etc. ) ... good luck

you should try pac rom or slimkat. they're somewhat fast and useable for me. I'm using class 10 32gb sandisk ultra

Hi , thanks for the info . I tried the cm7 rom and it looks like its snappy and fast but it doesnt include Gapps . And considering its gingerbread how do I go about installing the latest youtube and the all of the other apps?

Thanks for all the help guys ! , Gapps showed up after a couple of re boots and I can also install the latest roms . My only 2 issues now would be that normal wallpapers downloaded from zedge app look of a very low quality and also the main issue would be that sometimes when I try to turn on the screen it takes ages and I cant turn it on , the buttons light up but the screen stays off and I have to pull the battery out.

Dear Friend ... you're right ... but remember that Nand memory has a speed about the speed you get from a Class 10 SD which means with a Class 10 SD card , your SD ROMs work somehow as fast as nand ROMs ... But the thing is , he has a Class 4 SD card ( as mentioned in the OP)
which is slow for those ROMs ... but thanks for the advice ... good luck

Congrats Man ... Thank God that you made it ... Would you please name the current ROM ? ... I think you mean the sleep of death which appears in KK ( 4.3.X & 4.4.X ROMs ) in which you should rise the Min CPU Freq to solve it ... you can use many apps like " No Frill CPU " or " SetCPU " to rise the Min CPU Freq ... about the wallpaper app , I don't have any Idea I think if you use another app , you may get wallpapers with the correct resolution ...

Hi , I used the Typhoon rom that you recommended, you said the sleep of death appears in kitkat and 4.4x roms but I am experiencing it in gingerbread.
I used a different app named hd wallpapers and it fixed the wallpaper issue.

Hi , the phone seems to be running perfectly now besides this small issue that I have discovered which is when I go to play some media sometimes , like music or a video or something there is a sound that comes out of the speaker which isnt part of the song or video , Its like a short fuzzy sound which comes at the start and then after that I have no problems.

Well ... Thank God that you don't have any other lag problem and other problems ... about changing the ROM , I think it was a MAGLDR lag and your way to switch a ROM is completely Clear ... about the Sound , I think it should be about the ROM's code and if you switch into another ROM , it would get fixed ... I currently recommend this ( if you like GB - It's Super Smooth & Stable and is really Eyecandy ) or this ( If you like KK - it's the best of the Rest KK ROMs ) ... Good Luck
PS : the AndroPlus ROM is a sense ROM and needs you to repartition your SD card to make it install Data On EXT ... If you had problem just let me Know ... I'm Always Glad to help ... ( Thanks for your Sig :good: :laugh: )

Hey , NP about the sig , The sound problem is there no matter what rom I pick its like a crackling sound that occurs for like 1 sec when the speakers havnt been used for some time and then doesnt occur until the next time I play something after leaving the speaker inactive . The reason why i know its not the speakers is that if I connect the earphones but havnt played any media then the first media I play the crackling sound will come through the earphones too.
Also I have searched for a link for BLK CLK but im unable to find it , would be appreciated if a link can be posted.
Sure ...

Yes My Friend ... It's related to the amplifier chipset which isn't completely compatible with android's DSP Manager and makes it do some odd works such "buzzzzz sound " or other things which is not a major problem and would disappear after some time ... Thanks for the info

This problem occurs only if there is any high tone like a snare drum at the beginning. The Volume feels like 300% then. You just have to know your songs then you should be prepared :silly:.
