Thanks mate

anyone know about the homescreen btw?
saw a review. And the guy said there isnt a clock homescreen, but only the MyFaves screen that CANNOT be changed. Not even in the settings tabs can the MyFaves screen be changed. Anyone with a Tmo TP2, can you confirm that?

The guy was wrong..

What about the internet tab launching IE by default, can we change that back to Opera?

hey Doc, seen you posting on Tmo. good to see you here. stick around for awhile.
i hope it can be changed back to Opera. that was a really bone headed move to make it IE. what the hell were they thinking?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I'll be around here a lot after I get the phone.
I agree, I haven't had many (any) criticisms of this phone or T-Mobile but this was a very poor and incomprehensible choice. It seems that the change from Opera to IE as default on the Internet tab is also responsible for the lack of push internet pages on the same Internet tab. I wonder if we can change both without too much hassle, at the very least I want Opera on that tab to launch when I click ANYTHING.

seriously. Opera looks pretty friggin fast. cant wait to get down to the Tmo store in 8 hours!! . oh, how to spend the time..

I looked for that thead and could not find it, could any one tell me how can i do this?
I really want to update to WM6.1 with one of these great roms. Here's my issue. I don't care about the MyFaves crap on the homescreen or even having the program on my phone. If I switch to one of these roms will it effect how MyFaves works? I don't plan on changing my faves and even so I could just do it online via MyTmobile. I just want to make sure that if I do use one of these roms I can still call these people with no charge. I'm not sure if It's on Tmobile's end or on my end. Thanks. :3
Now I am not with T-Mobile myself, but I beleive that its on T-Mobiles end...I dont think that your phone has anything to do with it, other than providing an easy way to tell whos on your MyFavs list, instead of having to remember them.
correct, the My Faves does not need to be on the phone itself. I have the same plan and set it up online.
Great to hear! It will be a few days before i do this so if anyone knows somthing we dont let me know!
I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM offered on this site and have not had any issues. My Faves, as you know, will not be on the phone itself, but can be changed from the MyT-Mobile website. The My Faves program on your phone only lets T-Mobile know which 5 numbers you've chosen and if and when you have changed them.
The biggest loss in getting rid of MyFaves from your phone is the convenience of changing them on the fly. Without it, you must have a computer available. Not really a big issue for me, but it may be for others.
Great! Here's another question for ya. I have been using the T-Zones Proxy to get free EDGE/GPRS. Will a new ROM make this unusable since T-Zones will no longer be on my phone? Sorry If I seem like a noob lol. I got my phone in September of last year and the most I've done is proxy it and mod the JOGGR.
It works for me...
I do this for my company and i don't get charged extra. I just change my Faves online. Good Luck!

Are you referring to free internet due to a glitch by T-Mobile or are you referring to the $5.99 T-Mobile hotspot plan hack/work-around? The first method is a glitch on T-Mobile's part and will most likely be corrected anyway. I've read that you will lose the Hotspot capability which may screw you if you get internet via the hack/work-around.
I know this doesn't really help, but I'm one of those suckers that pays for the internet so I can't answer your question. You may also want to check out howardforums.com or just use google to help you find an answer to your question. Sorry I couldn't do more to help.
can't seem to find it either. please help my gf is so mad cause she doesn't know how to use her phone w/o myfaves. lol.
also where do you find this hack went to that site posted above and no go cannot find it
now if you do have myfavs can u still use this hack?
hmm i need the exact oposite i have the service but im on kavanas rom which dosent have the My Faves program anyway to get a cab or somthin that will hook up with the service?
This will put myfaves on your phone got it in another forum.. I can not take credit. It will not be on front page but it will be on the phone.

T-Mobile bloatware

is there any place I can find the TMo applications, like OZ Messenger that I used to have on my Dash?
I have unlimited texts and OZ did the job good enough for me.
Any help would be great, because the only TMo cabs I could find so far is for the Wizard.

I swear to god, I was searching all day for that -_-
Thanks tho =D
Well that cab does indeed work on my Excalibur, but when I try to log in, it says there's a connection error.
On that thread I saw people saying no one has gotten it to work outside of TMo's official roms.
Anyone care to share if there is a fix?

If you can't get it to work, there's a bunch of additional applications for the same thing you're looking for on the same thread sarting on the first page, I wish I could help you more but I don't use IM.
Yeah I was reading through a lot of it and they have suggestions, but only for IM through a data plan. I don't have data, but I do have unlimited texts.
Maybe some kind of registry hack is in order?
Here you go man... find all the applications you want...

What Are You Doing With Your TP2/Rhodium Right Now?

When Your Not Flashing A New Rom On Your TP2.....What Do You Often Do On Your Phone? Better Yet What Are You Doing Right Now.
absolutely nothing.
just updated to wm6.5, t-mo usa. so far so good.
pressing my thumb into it gently watchin my smooth arse rom respond to my touch..
oh and moved you're thread over to general since this isn't really rom dev material.
trying to figure out how when i get a text message notification and hit reply instead of bringing me to default winmo messing client to bring me to htc messaging client very annoying lol
Thanks. I Realized That Was More Of A General Question Than A Rom Section Question.
Listening to music and getting ready for the next flash lol
right now im replying on this thread and tryin to get swype to work.
otherwise browsin the net, calls, sms, calender, sky remote record, email, tomtom, alarm clock, photos, watchin downloaded tv with coreplayer without needin to re-encode.
thats personal!
haha, i was about to ask a similar question, what do you do to keep the spark in the relationship between you and your phone? i've upgraded from a raphael and apart from the hardware differences, its still windows mobile, so the WOW factor of having a new device kind of dies off quickly because you keep doing what you were doing with your previous device.
I just went through the "What do you have installed on your device" thread and picked up a couple apps that i previously didn't know about. Other than that, still looking to put the spark back in our relationship before it gets mundane.

Whats Going On With Your Swype???
I´m doing with my Rhodium...
Right now and after making a ROM tour (7) got back to me favourite: Energy Photon2!
Finished configuring all my stuff and ready to play NFS to relax
Guys don't forget to vote for Rhodium!!

It wouldn't launch for some reason. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I haven't really tried to use it enough to figure out why.

Roughly in the same boat as you. I had a Raphael and was swooned by the Tilt 2's screen and keyboard. I d/l Energy ROMs and try to get Sense 2.5 to function as best as possible on the Tilt 2 (I love the ROMs and appreciate all his dedication and work, don't get me wrong). Right now I'm trying to get Facebook contact images to show up when people call (it reverts to the Outlook contact photo). I attempt to get a decent GPS lock and also look for games that run well. It's a constant battle to get things functioning nicely. AND I know that Sense 2.1 runs nicely and I brought this all upon myself.

Forum jump tab missing?

Seems like for the last week or so the forum jump tab that was located at the bottom/right of the screen has gone missing. So now the only way to go to another subforum is to click at the home icon located at the top/left of the screen. Any reason this option was disabled, or is it just me?
Srsly? No one else has this missing?

Yup, we removed it because we found an opportunity to improve performance on the site. Turns out that little drop down include a TON of HTML calls.
Our impression was that few people used it. If it turns out that it is greatly missed, we'll bring it back, but we rather enjoy the slight boost in I/O performance.

Sucks that there isn't some way to to quick jump, or navigate back from the bottom of the page, to at least the last forum browsed. Apparently not many people do use quick jump because its not so much missed judging by the lack of traffic on the subject
Bummer hope they bring it back.
I always miss it when it's removed (I've seen it for the same reason on other forums), but I know it does make quite a load on the server.

Like better than my SGS2 EXCEPT FOR THIS which I HATE

And this has always been a thing with me:
Samsung has industry leading screens but they then DUMB DOWN THE WEB PAGE DISPLAYS TO MOBILE!
At least with my International galaxy S2 I could use a third party browser and change the useragent to desktop.
The Epic 4G Touch DOESN'T EVEN LET YOU DO THAT. F***!
Sound like I'm yelling? GOOD!
WTF SAMSUNG/SPRINT. DON'T YOU THINK THATS PARTLY WHY SOME FOLKS WANT A FREAKIN 4'5" SCREEN....TO ENJOY FULL PAGE DISPLAYS.
Damn. Gotta decide if this is a dealbreaker.
I know a developer will be able to mod this.
(You know the Charge has a useragent setting).
I KNOW I can scroll down and opt for the desktop. Don't wanna have to do that evwrytine.
Btw, I don't use the addressbar useragent script. It doesn't stick and is a pain.
What about Dolphin HD?
wow, I really hope this isnt actually a deal breaker for you.
It's the same way with my Galaxy Tab, and it's a Sprint thing, not Samsung. Certain sites (like NYT) will not go desktop on Sprint despite the user agent setting. Reportedly, you could get it to go to the full site on Verizon by changing the user agent. This did not apply to all sites, just the ones that did not want you to go to the full site on mobile devices.
Well tried boat browser and dolphin HD mini and htc's Maxthon..same
I suppose its a way for carrier to save data load...
I do a lot of work on the go in part working with web sites. This sucks.
Hopefully we'll get it modded.
did u try type ‘about:useragent’ in the browser? works for me on my gsII

But you have to keep typing it in if you close the browser right?
I always use Dolphin HD. Give that a try.
No go on either Dolphin.
Never seen a disabling of this that includes 3rd party browsers.

I believe the tablets do the same thing on Sprint.
so u cant get any webpages to display in desktop mode?? because i just tried it in skyfire, and got the following webpages to load as desktop (they did NOT load mobile):
xda
engadget
yahoo
facebook
cnn
tried on sprint 3g first, and then on wifi (dunno if that makes difference), but it worked on both
So... I just installed Dolphin HD and switched the useragent to desktop and it worked fine...sounds like user error
The user agent change works for most webpages. But certain sites like espn and nyt don't, because they don't want you to. If you deep link, it will go to the desktop page (like "espn.com/nfl"), but the mainpage is mobile only and totally sucks ass.
On my old EVO, in the EPST settings, you could remove the Sprint Proxy from the network config and not have anything filtered.
This is my first Samsung device, so I'm not sure if EPST exists or how to edit those settings.
You had to remove the HTTPPDProxy
I just tried about:debug. Got alot of extra settings but didn't see anything to change the useragent or desktop mode
Edit: never mind i forgot it was about:useragent

I was wondering about that myself being from a string of HTC devices. I swore off Samsung after the moment, the NS4G kinda doesn't count software wise...
...the NS4G, hardware wise, is what convinced me that this is a serious contender and likely winner in this round of superphones....which is almost over, we'll get recess and the new Nexus device in a few months and then late winter is preseason.
Come to think of it if you were to graph that out the Nexus truly would be the, well, nexus...I think I just derped.
