Is there a reg edit to make the picture when someone calls bigger? It is pretty much useless right now because it is extremely small. If there is no native way to do this, then a program would be nice.

photo contacts pro is a good 3rd party program that can blow up the pic in near full screen
I like Encallio for a 3rd party app to do this
http://www.nikafx.com/encallio/
I am so hesitant to install Photocontacts Pro. It screwed my registry up & a hard reset later prevented me from going back. It would send my calls right to voice mail if it wasn't loaded or the task was killed back in tmo 6 rom by accident. I also installed an older version but how stable is Photocontacts currently? Anyone have it running for sometime without (any) issues?
Still a memory hog?

I stick with v 4.03 for my dash.... Any version before that or after that just plain sucks...the latest version 5.0.? still sucks. After 4.03 the program did not run in the background and always shows up in task manager, which disallowed me from selecting the end all tasks. They are trying to make this program waaay more advanced than it needs to be..... I however have no problems with 4.03..... but the only thing i use it for is for the photo caller ID... i dont assigne special ringtones or speial profiles or anything involving text,,, which i think is what starts all of the problems with calls being sent directly to voicemail....... i tried encallio and i actually liked it, but i can tell it still needs more refinements before i will consider using it.
Good to know still going to pass on it...
So I shouldn't use the newest version?
Just got my new Touch Pro2 in the mail today, i will be retiering my Titan and activating the TP2 on the Verizon network.
Question: is there anything i should do first before activation?
I plan on installing one of the custom rom and have already downloaded HardSPL to unlock the phone.
Using the phone with Verizon is there a need to upgrade the Radio at this point?
Just want to make sure before fire this thing up.
Have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
That is your section
Enjoy!
Why don't you first start working with the device?
I'm still using the original WM6.5 ROM and have no problems with it.
Just my 2 cents.
First , press the power button and check if the the device works smoothly
get a quality screen protector and put it on
charge it up and turn it on
use it for a while and see how you like it
Hard spl it
use it more and see if there is anything you want or dont want on it that will help you decide which Rom to use
enjoy playing with it. We all say we use these things for business etc but what we all really like is the fact we can play with them and truely make them our own.

Yes, I would def invest in a nice case for it. I have the tmobile version, and a slight drop already scratched the hell out of the bottom. They sell a few cheap clear plastic ones on ebay. I got one and I think it makes its it look so much nicer.
hi, all these answers mean the same: just use ist. well, in fact BEFORE activation there is nothing much to do..
its unimportant for using defferent ROMS or any else software or/and upgreades if u activated the phone before or after activation because each important change of the rom or something will delete every custom data on the phone. i dont know if there is something that wil be stored after activation of the hardware wich wont be deleted.
i was using my phone for month and then i changed the rom, upgraded to 6.5 and all these stuff and after each change i had to input each custom data and information again (i was using some backup programms and stuff to set the phones content back to the state of my first usage like integrated microsoft myphone and spb backup)
there was nothing that told me that i have less possibilities after the activation than i had before. so just use it.
but dont forget: if you woud install programms and patches BEFORE an bigger upgrade or change of the ROM, they all will be lost after the patch/upgrade.
and another tip: just make changes u really need. as the british people say: never touch a running system. sure, on custom ROMs and Patches there are some nice features but always ask youself: do i need it? if not theres a lot of work for nothing and if u will make any bigger mistakes its possible you will crash your phone. and no one will give back your money.
but just to explain my status: i am a WM beginner. maybe everything i said is wrong
everything i said is just subjective my opinion
Greetings All,
Well after 1 1/2 days of searching with no help or guidenance from anyone, (Sorry but alittle annoyed that no one likes to help, but I'll get over it) I managed to wrap up a hotfix for our SMS problem with lagging and not beng able to txt. I am currently testing this to see how it is working, and so far, on an install level it went without a hitch.
This is not a fix for a noob, I STRONGLY suggest noobs do not attempt this hotfix, I am not responsible for bricking, crashing, loss of data, or frying of your phone! I assume no responsiblitly and if you attempt this you are doing so with knowing the risks that come with this!
Now since that is out of the way:
This hotfix is actually the last hotfix for the HD2 that was dated 1/24/2010. As far as I know the last fix corrected the issue of being able to txt while the thread loaded in the background, and since Seppi the good soul came up with migrating the fix to tp2 but was a much older version (1.5.2011.2130) I decided I wasnt waiting for HTC and decided to take their HD2 hotfix and do the same thing Seppi did and here it is.
HotFix Compatability:
All 2.07.40x Manila 2.5 Roms. NOT COMPATABILE WITH ANY PRIOR OR FUTURE ROMS. All Languages Supported.
You Have to turn off Manila by going to Settings/All Settings/Today/Items and pick windows default. Also make SURE HTC messaging is not running or the hotfix will not install.
It will ask you to install either on the Device or SDCard. MUST BE INSTALLED ON DEVICE.
Fixes: (2)
1) Fixes the SMS lag we all have been dealing with and not being able to type as the whole thread loads. Now SMS's load in background.
2) So Far fixes the loss of contact picture, this is due to a resetting of the phone and associates SMS's to sim card and loses association with phone contact.
Known Bugs: (3)
1) Same as in the HD2 at times the screen when rotating from landscape to portrait might mix up the last line where the last line and the one above it merge, going back to landscape corrects this. Does not happen from portrait to landscape.
2) All prior SMS's might not associate with the corresponding phone contacts.
3) This MAY reset your MMS settings and will need to re-enter MMS info. based on your service provider. You can reach this by tabing to Msgs/All msgs/Menu/Settings/Options/Menu/MMS Server. Select SampleMMSC to change your settings Manually.
Or going to Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections Setup and going through the wizard again.
Notes:
I have attached two files, One is a direct install with no way to uninstall it, this is how I have it setup and is working. The other file has an uninstall feature incase of anything can be removed. I have not tested the one with the uninstall feature to see if it would work that way, but Your free to test it out.
To know if the hotfix has been applied, to go Msgs/All Msgs/Menu/About if successful, your app build should be 1.5 (Build 2011.3631) The original version on the TP2 was Build 2011.3831.
Any comments good or bad Feel Free.
75 Views and no one has anything to say? Gee wonder about that one.
And no one willing to try it huh? Well I can tell you this much it has made a difference so far, and it seems it might have fixed two POSSIBLE problems as well:
1) I have no SOD as of yet since doing this, even with weather animation.
2) No screen going black while typing or right after hitting send.
What can I say... If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
Others who have this problem might chance it but since I don't I'm not gonna stuff up a stable phone just to see if it breaks it....

Oh it's broke alright. I haven't looked in these forums in a while. I gave up waiting for somebody to get a fix for this but I was curious and decided to take a peek in here to see what people are up to. The reason "it ain't broke" for some people is because they either don't have much sms volume or they clean out their inbox on a regular basis. For those of us who have a large volume of sms and don't have the time to clean out our inbox, it's definitely broke.
Anyway, you don't know how happy I am to see this fix! Thanks so much. I'm going to try it and I'll report back.
One question though...You say it's for manila 2.5...I'm not real fluent with the whole manila speak so I'm not sure if this will work on my phone. I've got a att tilt2 with the stock 6.5 rom running spb mobile shell. Will this update work on my phone?

Explanation: People like me see the title and wonder: "What's this?". So I click on it and see it's a solution for a problem that I don't have and haven't even heard of...so I have no comment on it. There's no big mystery about it nor any reason to take it personally.

The Stock 6.5 that came with your phone is WinMo 6.5 Manila 2.1, it will not work with this version I do not suggest it at all. This version is for anyone who HardSPL-ed their phone and are using any of the generic HTC Roms without any Service Provider Bloatware. I would Add Customized Roms to the list but I think most Customized roms removed the 2.5 msging app from their cooked roms.
MCbrian
The people who dont have this problem either are using stock Roms from providers that have the 2.1 version of the app which didnt have this issue, or are people with the New Roms that are not heavy sms users, Or are using cooked roms without the 2.5 manila app in the rom and have reverted back to the WM msging app.
BTW FYI HTC didnt make the new msging system, its a 3rd party app, originally made by Jataaya, but was bought out by a company in india called ComViva which actually makes the app I believe.
Hi
Just installed the fix: looks like now SMS application has much better options, it just works better. I restored 500 messages, as for now it works smoothly. No hung after sending message. I'll test it for few more days, but even now I can say it fixes the buggy app!
And quick question: bulid version of the fix suggest it is 'previous' version (3631 instead of 3831). How is it?
and regarding SOD: had it 3 times already since instaling hotfix, but it is not rather related to hotfix. Just want to tell that hotfix doesn't fix SOD...

Glad to hear it fixed your problem. Question, did you use the uninstallable cab or the direct cab?
The reason for the version difference again is that HD2 software versioning is different then TP2, HD2 jumped from 2031, where The stock TP2 6.5 Manila 2.5 had the 3831 Being that its from HD its the same app but different build #'s.
And thanx for the feedback and about the SOD being the only one who was using it and not having the issue anymore I thought maybe it had something to do with the fix, but thats why I said POSSIBILITY cause being the sole user I had nothing else to go on.
Glad I made a difference. Thanx.
I used version with uninstall option. After another day of testing I confirm it fixes the most annoying behaviour of HTC SMS app. Sad that many people complain about the bug, not many want to try the fix- just look at the threads...
Regarding SOD: I contacted HTC service, they advised to upgrade the firmware (that's why I had to test the hotfix), now they say I have to 'repair' the device. I'll try. My company uses more than 40 TP2s, I am the only one who enocounters SOD. Maybe it is really broken...
Once again - thanks for the fix!
OK, I've installed the un-installable version, so far it seems to work well - the HTC messaging has never run so quick.
I'll keep an eye on it over the coming days.
much more smooth now! thanks!
Agreed, I also installed the removable version and it seems to work all ok, certainly much better than before!. This maybe a coincidence but when I flick through my picture album now (full screen images), sometimes it takes 2 or 3 'flicks' to get to the next image, don't remember it being like this before. It could be that the images are about 4mb a file, hhmm, will have a look at this.

The SMS Hot fix does not change any files that have to do with HTC Album, so it either is coincidence, or you were not aware of it before. But I assure you the two are completely unrelated.

That's what I thought, have just resized them, now only 1.49mb a file Definately better so must just have been a coincidence, will resize again properly when I'm back home to see if it's any better. flippin annoying! lol.
I have tilt 2 energy rom, will this work for my phone? the sms lag is bugging the crap out of me.. Thanks in advance!
AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall
I just installed it on two us t-mobile hd2's. One is the orignal rom and the other is the updated rom. Both are responding much better to sms. The new rom is working almost perfect 99% better than it was. The orignal rom has 85% ish increase in speed so I would say that this cab is very much worth the install.
Thanks for you work.
AD_SMS_HotFix_w-Uninstall
I figured I better give some more info.
I lost no sms info on either device.
I have had no issues in any of the other functions on either phones.
So again thanks for the work.
Hey Guys, just saw this on HTC's Official Site...our official ROM update with the sense ui is OUT!!!!
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/
Sorry if this is a repost, Not sure if anyone else has tried it yet...haven't seen a post on it yet .
Added Some Screen Shot!!!
(The Task Manager and 4 tabs on the Home screen were things I added afterward)
Anyone try it Yet? About to install!!! woohoo!
Grr...first attempt failed...the moment I hit ok...it sent info to my my phone...and instantly the computer didn't recognize the device...and stopped the whole install...about to try again.
Ok! Did a hard reset...installing fine now. 7% will let you know what happens...once I get BsB Tweaks reinstalled I'll try some screen shots. ;D
At 7% there was some sortof an installation error...had me unplug the USB, take out the battery, put it back in, replug in the USB, and started the install over. At 7% it stopped again for a second, then kept going. Just finished the install, booting up the phone with the new ROM ...give me a few minutes to finish. ;D
Awesome! Up and running! waether clock yaay! Finally!
There's a cool little tutorial at the begining, shows you new keyboard autocorrect feature, which is really cool! Sets up e-mailetc... but can be skipped. ;D
Task Manager is gone....grrr
old windows mobile look when changing battery settings is gone!!!! HTC interface look!!! woohoo!
Program tab...from touchflo3D is gone...but not needed as much with the tabs on the homescreen. ;D
E-Mail appears flat infront of you ;D without the little envelope/slightly angled e-mail.
not finding the keyboard backlight options...since the power settings have changed...the option to adjust this has disappeared....backlight on the key board isn't turning on...maybe cause the light sensor is working....but I use to turn this off...so my keyboard would light up anytime I used it...
...anyone find where we can change this option?
Came with 15 contacts in ppl tab, no need to install the cab...although only 3 links on the home screen...will be installing the 4 link cab
Calendar is great in sense...have the options for agenda/week/year views now...awesome! Plus appoint reminder times are shown when clicking on individual appointments haha this was never visvble before in wm ;P
Can't believe they haven't fixed the snooze options...what a joke, still have to add an app to have snooze option choices. Ridiculous!
Grrr...board games was removed from this rom...I finally had a decent game of chess on my phone...and of all the bloatware...they remove the one I want. Grrr
Dude, there must be a half dozen threads on this already with the same info as this conversation you appear to be having with yourself.
ok honestly this thread is just pointless, like miami said, theres already dozens of threads just on this new ROM alone, a guy made a thread like this yesterday and i told him that he needs to search before posting a new thread, next time do so, ill have to file a thread deletion, this is just getting out of hand now
i make the update without problems, but now:
1)no task manager
2)less available storage space when boot (before 114mb, now 68mb), the same programs installed, nothing installed in the phone, always in the card
so far for the moment

The chess game on there is okay, but I actually had to put it on hard in order for it to even be a challenge of some sort. I think it beats me maybe once every 10 games or so. I'm not even that great of a player.
So what's missing in the new ROM so far sounds like task manager and board games. The alarm snooze isn't working either. Is it worth the ROM upgrade?

For task manager just add Duttys Task Manager...if you want the same as the original, I like it.
BsB Tweaks lets you put in snooze options, which never existed in either Rom, but also let you add screen rotations to any program you want, plus other stuff.
Need Net...for BsB to work.
I think sense blows away touchflo, I love it.
i dont know if this is the right place or the general forum is ,but...
1.does the phone have silent mode? with lolipop silent mode was kind of canceled at stock android smartphones and you could only put the phone on vibrate, but the manufacturer UI still had it...
2.thats kind of stupid one but...one of the things i like about sense is the dialer it does not rotating at all! only when in car mode,so in UX 4.0 does the dialer rotate?
3.one of the features i like about touchwiz is that when you watch a video you can see it while it floats around,i know lg got qslide but i dont know if thats one of the options.
4.what apps coming with the phone and can you remove them?
5.did any of you tried greenify ? why do i ask ,well i tried to use it with samsung devices (actually s2,s4.s4 lte-a,s5 all not rooted) and it seemed like greenify didnt get along with them some why...(keyboard didnt work well,talkback didnt stop working,sms app failure and more)
6.do the camera have burst mode like sense? its not a must have feature but its a nice to have...
7.what are the sort categories on the gallery and on the music player?
8. its not a direct question about the UI but still,som one posted on the general furom that he got an update to his lg g4 i did search on google and found nothing about it,so my question is where can i find update list/changelog/or any thing that is connected to software updates...
9.do the headphone plugin on the bottom is comfortable?
keep in mind few things ,i am coming from HTC Desire so...its a huge step forward, i have bad to good english so i am sorry for the spelling mistakes and those question came from playing with other people smartphones

I will try to answer a few of these.
1.does the phone have silent mode? with lolipop silent mode was kind of canceled at stock android smartphones and you could only put the phone on vibrate, but the manufacturer UI still had it...
It does not have silent out of the box, not sure if that can be changed once root access is found, but straight out the box, only way to mute sound is to have it connected to a bluetooth device
2.thats kind of stupid one but...one of the things i like about sense is the dialer it does not rotating at all! only when in car mode,so in UX 4.0 does the dialer rotate?
It rotates whenever you turn the phone on its side, unless you lock the screen in place
3.one of the features i like about touchwiz is that when you watch a video you can see it while it floats around,i know lg got qslide but i dont know if thats one of the options.
You are able to watch videos in Q SLide, its a small window that floats
4.what apps coming with the phone and can you remove them?
I was given the International Version, so as for what apps come on it, depends on which variant you get, whether its ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, so on. But I can say with experience, that ATT comes with tons of bloatware.
5.did any of you tried greenify ? why do i ask ,well i tried to use it with samsung devices (actually s2,s4.s4 lte-a,s5 all not rooted) and it seemed like greenify didnt get along with them some why...(keyboard didnt work well,talkback didnt stop working,sms app failure and more)
Have not tried Greenify
6.do the camera have burst mode like sense? its not a must have feature but its a nice to have...
The camera does have burst mode, just have to hold down the camera button, and it will burst until you take your finger off
7.what are the sort categories on the gallery and on the music player?
Havent really messed with this enough to notice
8. its not a direct question about the UI but still,som one posted on the general furom that he got an update to his lg g4 i did search on google and found nothing about it,so my question is where can i find update list/changelog/or any thing that is connected to software updates...
There have been no updates rolled out for the G4 as far as I know, unless you are not in the states, then I do not know
9.do the headphone plugin on the bottom is comfortable?
Its like having the plug on the top, you wont notice it any differently
Hope this helps some

1.sinse i have HTC Desire running GB 2.3 i can not test it out but...i heard that there are alot of widgets offering to add silent mode to lolipop is it right?
It rotates whenever you turn the phone on its side, unless you lock the screen in place
2.ho well i guess i can live with this...
You are able to watch videos in Q SLide, its a small window that floats
3.Yay.
I was given the International Version, so as for what apps come on it, depends on which variant you get, whether its ATT, Verizon, T-Mobile, so on. But I can say with experience, that ATT comes with tons of bloatware.
4.i will get that unlocked international version,i saw some where that mcfee come with it so..,anything else and can i remove mcfee?
Have not tried Greenify
5.you should try it does wonders to the battery life, if you do try it some when let me know(you dont need root for it)
The camera does have burst mode, just have to hold down the camera button, and it will burst until you take your finger off
6.Yay.
Havent really messed with this enough to notice
7.actually the most important thing to me at the music player is folder category and that you slide your finger to move to the next song or previous ,so does the lg g4 have that?
There have been no updates rolled out for the G4 as far as I know, unless you are not in the states, then I do not know
8. this is what makes it weird some one on the general furom posted he got an update ,thats why i wanted to know where i can see upcoming updates or changelogs
Its like having the plug on the top, you wont notice it any differently
9.i can imagin you are probbly right,you can get used to anything.
