Hey guys,
I am still very new customizing my touch pro 2. I would like to know how to edit the android start up text. Mostly for the ability to overclock but also I would like to become more familiar with this os.
I have really had issues with my device running on Windows Mobile and would love to keep Android . Any help at all would be much appreciated (even if you make me look like a fool). I love this phone, But I have exchanged it many times due to it being sluggish and totally unusable. If I can't figure this out I will be selling my brand new phone and getting a Nexus One in the hopes that the combination of android and a stupid fast cpu will make me happy.
To all of the people who are working so very hard getting android fully functional. Thank You. Thank you for all your help guys I know your time is better spent not answering my stupid questions. Rich
A few things, you can visit the thread here and read the first 2-3 posts for an overview:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627997
You can also go the the new Portal site Reefermatness put up, there is a section that covers the startup.txt and explains all the various options, including the overclocking.
(FAQ section - way down towards the bottom)

Thank you
Thanks for your reply. I had searched everywhere and been reading everything.
the only thing i didn't do was actually look at the files android created on my sd card lol.
Found it
So I tried the overclock command and it didn't work ? what could i be doing wrong. Thank you

We need more details. Kinda hard to tell what exactly went wrong w/out details. Lol.
As far as overclocking go, what file manager did u use to make the edits? I found the easiest one to use for editing start up txts is gool ol File Explorer. I had issues using total commander. First, u have to make sure the spacing is right, when u enter in the edit. Its real picky and will trow out the previous or following command line in the txt, if its not spaced right. Plus the edit has to come b4 that phykeyboard command. That's probaly mispelled but u should know what I mean. Then u have to make sure that once ur done with the edit, it stays as a Txt file. Its gonna ask u to save and if u want to save it as a Doc., say No. That keeps it in its original format of startup txt. If u save as a doc. , then it definitely won't wrk.
If u still having issues, juss let me know. Or look a few pages back from the last, on the android rhodium thread. I had uploaded my overclocked startup txt there. All u would have to do is make a copy of ur original unedited startup txt(to hve juss in case), then delete that startup txt in ur andboot folder. Then download my overclocked one in there. It'll overclock u to 787MHz. ;-) make sure to read the notes on it though. So u will know the in and outs of it and what to do if issues arise. Its real easy once u get the hang of it. Try it out..let me know how it goes.

demandarin is right, and just like Johnny-5, we need more input!
It is important the 'set cmdline' line is all on a single line. All the options are listed with a single space between each option, and a double quote starting and ending the complete options list.
In the FAQ, it may appear that this line wraps or is two lines, but that is side-effect of the html page and narrow views/screen resolution.
I do all my editing with a vim editor...
Demandarin,
When I edited my startup.txt I just used file explorer. I put the oc line as the last line before the keyboard entry. It must be my spacing that is giving me problems.
I have looked through a ton of your posts, lol.I cannot find your startup.txt copy anywhere could you post it for me?
Also, I just noticed that when in android I cannot make outgoing calls, is there a fix for that ?
I tried to reply to you yesterday while i was at work using the onscreen keyboard but it kept correcting me with the wrong words how do I turn it off.
sorry for the format of my post I am running late and wanted to get back to you as soon as I could. Thank You

Yeah, u juss have to keep practicing at it. I usually put it somewhere in the middle to be on the safe side. Ill post my startup txt shortly in the main thread, so look for it after u see this post.
As far as ur outgoing calls not wrking, not sure. What device do u have? Is ur internet , incoming, and data wrkn though? If none are wrkn, then u probaly have to manually enter in ur carrier APN settings, which can b found on first page, thru link, of the rhodium android cab thread. Click on the download button. A whole slew of info and troubleshooting tips in there. If ur apn settings already in there, and other stuff wrks, then id say just delete ur data img. In the andboot folder in ur sd card.
You should keep trying the edit though, so u can have it downpacked. I couldn't get it right at first either..lol. tried a million times , kept getting errors. Then I finally got it. U know u got it when ur Android boots up without giving u errors that this or that is not a commandline. Ima boot back into windows now to post that in the rhodium android cab thread for ya.

No, not that I know of or have noticed. The only thing is that if u let the phone go to sleep, in android, it doesn't like to wake up a lot of times. My solution for that is go into Android settings. Then go to display. Scroll down to screen timeout. By default its set to 1 minute. I put it at the max at 30 mins. So the phone won't go to sleep or timeout for at least that long. Everytime the phone is touched, whenever, it resets that timer. I also went into spareparts. Scroll dwn to end button behavior. Change it to "Home" only. Instead of sleep. I get about 6-7hrs off da charger with really, really heavy android use. When I boot into android, I'm on it. Lol. Plus another tip is if u leave it on the charger and use it, it won't fall asleep. Even if u put it to. Its still technically running although the screen is off.
As always, use at own risk. Juss like with any other program or anything u dwnload. I haven't had no problems other than what was stated. To me, the difference in everyday performance is greatly enhanced. The builds work perfectly fine without the overclocking. With the overclocking, it makes everything faster and smoother and a ton less lag. Try it and determine for urself. ;-)

Just got home from work. A little tired and a little drunk lol. thank you so much for your help. I will try to change the startup.txt in the morning when I can focus.
A few questions;
Have you tried the battery fix at all?
I see you have increased your clock speed. how do you like it ? does it still have the sleep problems?
What other things can you change in the startup.txt file?
Thanks and good night.one more beer and its bedtime.
Demandaron,
Dude it totally Works. Thank you. Also I can confirm that setting the sleep mode to 2 works perfectly as a fix for the phone not wanting to wake up.
Edit: So this thing is awesome,everything is faster even web load times.
More questions:
Is there anything else i can use to enter text other than the tapatalk app? It keeps incorrectly correcting my words lol
How can i backup my settings/apps?
Random thing happened. I was using the slide out keyboard and all the sudden my tp2 goes dark like its sleeping (also it was plugged in). I had to pull the battery to get it to boot again.

No problem. I tried to reply to ur pm but I don't think it went thru. Xda havin issues or somethin..lol. I called n left u a voicemail.
As far as backing up ur settings, in Android settings, there's a place to check off backup settings. I'm not sure which one its under. Or if u trying to back up apps or whateva, use Astro explorer or titanium backup.
I think that pmem setting or battery edit for startup txt causes ur device not to charge when on the charger. I've read of that happening with a few people. Dats y I don't use it. 6ve never had my battery die not once while booted in Android.
With the keyboard thing, I think its a manufacturer thing or error. Me and several others noticed, in windows mobile, that if u open the keyboard to fast/hard or let it close too fast/hard..then it'll reboot or whateva. Something about maybe the battery contacts comin off for that split second. A simple fix for that is to wedge a piece of paper in between ur battery and battery cover. So it'll keep the battery pressed down and the power contact stays made. Regardless or keyboard or not. That's what I heard on that issue. I juss make sure to close the keyboard easily instead of letting it slam shut

Demandrin, I'm working on almost 6 hours with our set of mods. All I have turned off is wifi. When my battery gets too low I am going to switch to my backup batt and try no wifi and no 3g and see where that gets me. I'll keep you posted.
I need to find a set of apps or an app that turns on/off wifi,3g,Gps

there are actually some apps for that. i think i may have a few. I havent forgot about cha. ima still email you those apps
I've just started getting using the xda-android port. Is there documentation for something a little more complex than what's covered by the key/button assignments. Like how to remove a widget if you decide it's not what you want on a given page?

I have installed the RickyWyatt Kavana V20 ROM and I am wonderring if any one if experiencing problems with scrolling through the main screen or selecting thing's because every time I scroll I have to wait a second or two for the phone to scroll.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem because the ROM look's awesome but it is really slow for me.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked the memory? I believe that Ricky referenced this when he put out Rom 20
Thank you in advance.

You will need to ask Ricky but I believe that the answer is you have to many panels and need to disable some of them.
Or... overclock your CPU a little bit. Look in the Tools folder for the OMAP clock program. I'd recommend about 204 for good battery life and a little increase in perfomance. Go 240 if you want more performance but shorter battery life
where about's is the Tool's folder I can't seem to find it on the phone?
On the Start menu ?!?
isnt it "accesories" in the start menu?
Well in my version of Rick's ROM it's in "My Tools".... either way... it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to find an installed application in the start menu.
not tryying to sound like a dumb ass but in Accessorie's it's not there either (I am usseing V20)

Never mind I found it sorry I was blind I guess.
Also I am wondering how to change the menu's around (if possible) it's not that I am to lazy to figure it out myself but I am worried I might mess around with something I shouldn't be messing around with. What I mean about changing the menu's is how to add and delete blade's from the main screen.
Thank you guy's for your time it is very much apprecciatted.
Also can I put a SDHC card in my phone? How about a 4 GB SD card or is 2GB the limit?
sorry I had to repost but I have one more question, is setting the frequency to 288 alright for my phone? Is there any chance it will mess it up?
It will lockup your phone and never recover. Stay below 250...
p.s. Rearanging "blades" and start menu folders may be a little over your head right now. Do a little more reading first....
And yes you can use SDHC cards in your phone...

I wouldnt push the envelope of oveclocking your phone past 240 or 252mhz
some people can get away with higher numbers it seems. others have issues with the phone locking up and then wont boot up...forcing a hard reset. so be cautious if you venture past 252mhz
Isnt that what I said two posts above ?!
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP MAN!!! It is very much appreciatted. Before you gave me your reply I set it to 280 and it messed up but I was able to change it back (LUCKY) with out a hard boot. I am not questioning your answer but are you positive (I don't want to buy it and then realize it doesn't work) that I can use a SDHC card (4GB) because I emailed some one who was selling it on EBay and he said it doesn't work on my phone?
Thank you once again.

Tmobile is sending me my 3rd Dash, I know this one is gonna be the same lagged out pos. They offered a shadow, but that phone is garbage. Should I just keep playing this send back the phone, get a new one and hope they offer me something better, or take this new phone they're sending and flash the rom right away?

If you flash the rom with one from kavana or rickwyatt you always have the option of putting the original rom if you need to send it back again.
word, now the tedious task of finding out the best rom and the instructions for installation, this forum is a mess lol
to tell you the truth is not too bad i upgrated mine in like 15 to 20 minutes last night, im ussing rickwaytt version 23 if u want to downloaded it have the link in my signature just make sure you unlock ur phone. if u got any question just post it here ill try to help but there is plenty of people willing to help around here
Do not get the Shadow, it is garbage... trust me...
Speed sounds more important to you than anything.
1) Use Kavana's ROM, or, even better, Ricky's Vanilla ROM
2) Do not install Voice Command.
3) Do not choose a CHome homescreen with the media goodies.
4) Install your most essential apps to the devince, never to the storage card. Install nothing non-essential.
5) Overclock it to 240. This is solid on any dash.
Do the above and your phone will be as fast as anything on the market, and as funtional, at this point in time. If it still doesn't suit your needs, get a different phone and a dedicated UMPC and 'tooth them.
p.s. I'm also on my 3rd dash,and Tmo has nothing else I would accept. I've checked. and tried a wing and a shadow first hand.

There is a program install that I've read it works like My favs, but i dont use it as much so i cant realy say how well it works.
Don't Worry
It just means that the neat T-Mobile MyFaves interface won't be there. Whenever you call someone on my faves, the charges are still the same; their phone number hasn't changed so why would calling one of them by dialing their phone number change?
You can still add an app that will put a MyFaves like feature on your phone. Plus, there are ROMS with this feature built into it.

so did your other dash's break???
cause i read online, before i got mine, that the screen would break if i dopped it, and i gotta tell ya ive dropped mine a few times and it doesnt even have a scratch on it.
I was wondering myself what the differences are between Rick and Kavana ROM. I have very successfully installed the Kavana 080408 ROM and it is awesome, but I hear a lot of people raving about Rickys ROM.
What version is the best (I dowloaded the v14 version)?
I love the way Kavana runs and looks. Speed is awesome and interface is fast (not overclocked).
What are the differences?
Thanks...
Run the latest Ricky's rom. I have it below. A lot of problems are fixed in this rom and its really nice. Ricky's rom is just an updated version of Kavana with the bugs fixed and all.
are there any images somewhere. I imagine it looks pretty much the same as kavanas. Right?
Thanks again. I'm downloading right now and popping it on in a moment.
Well, it is but there are some new applications and a lot of bugs fixed. Plus it has Chome slim which could be changed from the tools folder and then go to extras. (check it out you can change a lot of stuff from there and you can make it transparent and all). Check it out and mess around with it once you download it.
Yeah, I will. Cool thanks.....

Let me know what you think once you start loading it ok.
nah my screen is fine, but the phone is just acting up like crazy and having a lot of lag problems etc..etc...
i just got my replacement today, so i'm gonna try this rom thing out, but my old dash isnt even starting up anymore, i wanna save the **** i got on there
is it too much to ask for my phone to load something up in no more than 2 seconds??
im running on the wm 6.5, im using the "windows default" ROM (if thats even the right word for going into settings>today>items and unchecking HTC sense) its just that it really pisses me off when im bout to text someone and i hit the compose button and it takes up to 5 mins to load up the screen. or when im getting a new friend or clients number and i have to tell them to wait for my address book to show up on the screen
any help would be greatly appreciated
Build your own ROM. I'm currently using WM 6.1 and everything loads extremely quick. PIE is up instantly and new contacts or txt messages take less than 2 seconds to load.
Your phone is slow because of the underpowered, obsolete Qualcomm MSM7xxx processor powering your WVGA device, coupled with bloated software. Custom ROMs are an easy improvement, as they often have many integrated tweaks for speed. There are some other easy tweaks found around the forum which will help speed up the device, but don't expect it to ever run like an HD2.
yeah, i'm using the "Energy" rom. pretty fast, and it's even more stable.
However; it's not fast enough.. Is there a programm (name??) to tune my Processor?
im on stock rom and my phone is very fast n slick, of course with some help from xda..lmao if u want to speed up stock rom, get and install these cabs: Tilt 2 data fix, SD tune up, no push internet, dynamic resource proxy, and the memory leak mod. all of these i found thru this forum. its night and day difference in how fast everything is. easy installs. i also have the atm dng 3d driver installed..that really helped the UI to make it slick. also get crud scraper, which i have. it deletes any and all traces of at&t bloatware or any carrier bloatware. actually, u need to do that first..delete all bloatware, u dont need a custom rom to eliminate bloatware. if all else fails, then flash a new rom cuz that requires the most for u to do. n remember, all of these things can be found right here on xda, no matter which route u tke. these stock roms arent as bad as people make them seem..at least not all the roms..juss like people, no device is perfect ;P some TLC will get ya up to speed.
thanx guys.. i guess it sounds like i should look into some ROMS. if anyone knows of a simple but good one please let me kno. I've tried SBP mobile shell and while it looks cool, its just too much. i dont need fancy animations, just something that looks need and that works.. if that makes sense.. :/
i agree that wm6.5 on the tp2 is rediculously slow and freezes, that is why I upgraded back to wm6.1...
.
is that what you guys mean when you wish it was "faster"? the tp2 on wm6.1 is pretty darn good imho...

Agreed.. I would like to speed up my 6.5 tp2 as well, instead of returning to 6.1. Could anyone help with the cab linx?
im posting frm device so cant post links or dont know how yet thru android..lol if no one comes with the links, just use the search here. theres a cab i saw sir phunk post in the general thread, thats called TP2 welcome basket ..it has the no push internet and dynamic resource proxy in it. the data fix, memory leak mod, sd tune up can be found(i believe) through the search. i got all of them here frm xda. the atm dng 3d driver isnt needed but seemed to speed up and smooth out the tf3d UI a lot. srry dont hve links installing those is easier thn flashing a new rom and u dont void ur warranty
ill be flashing a new rom eventually, not for speed, but to see some different set ups. stock rom is good enuff for me..........for now............... u just have to do the homework n find a good reliable new rom to flash or try what i did(which was recommended to me by veteran members). it wrked out for my tilt2.
now that i think about it, someone, who knows how..lol, should put all of those together in a zip file package or something. along with crud scraper to get rid of bloatware. and post it to the apps thread. like a startup kit to get ur phone up to speed b4 flashing new roms eventually. i aint gnna lie though, im leary at the moment on flashing, but im gaining more confidence on it. i did the homewrk n have all the files, hardspl and energy rom. i just havent flashed yet. i forgot da radio..lmao see..lol whichever route u take, u cant go wrong buddy.

Try the Titanium version of Energy. I use the Sense versions myself (and love it), so I can't personally speak for the Titanium version. But NRGZ28 cooks great stuff, very fast and stable. I don't think you will be disappointing.

i know , right..lol all of these need to be put on apps page all together. or like a zip file with all of those in there...itll be like a startup package for the Rhodium. n dont forget the data fix cab also.
I have the same problem
How many contacts do you have? I have over 5k and it makes my phone act just as you described. If I remove my contact list, it gets a lot faster.
Does anyone else have this problem. Even when I hang up from a phone call the phone is unresponsive for as long as a minute.

Good lord, you know a lot of people.
I use my phone for business and being in sales means I have lots of contacts. I'm sure I could parse it down to 1k or so most likely used contacts but that would take rediculous amounts of time.
I installed the new Tilt 2 ROM 5.2.21887 (Aug 30/2010) I HATE IT
I'm a nuvee about ROMs.
I have this file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe can I *just* run it like I did with the new ROM to go back to the orinal shipped ROM?
I called HTC they said NO. Idon't believe them.
if im right you can install ANY rom after you used HardSPL:
check the sticked topic in this part of the forum (cant post link as a new user)
yes. you will be able to.

You don't need to HardSPL to flash an official ROM (for your specific carrier). The original shipped ROM will flash fine.

Thanks to redpoint73 and all of you guys at XDA.
My only hesitation is becasue de guy at HTC said NO!. (What does he know!)
Summary:
I had original tllt2 ROM.
I just ran the new Updated ROM. no HardSPL (I don't even know what's that)
I don't like the new ROM (only good thing is Videos run smoother)
I had the original ROM file .
Question: RUNning this file is the same as Flashing? (Sorry I'm really noobie)

Thanks LiquidXed,
Fortunatelly I have a file HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe I don't remember how I got it (maybe HTC) but I'm sure is the original.
The only question is that the original ROM was about 8/09 and I believe it was a fix patch on 12/09. I bought my Tilt2 on 4/10 so I don't know if I have to install the patch plus I don't know what kind of patch it was.
Thanks for your help.

yeh the original had some hotfixes, and yes since u flashed it u need to reinstall them. ill attach. i think thats what ur sayin.? there are 2 of them i rared them, if u need em zipped let me know. just unrar them, put em on ur phone, them run them with file explorer. one is for sms and the other is for callerid
Just curious, what didn't you like about the new ROM? I DLd id today and was thinking about installing it. I've had an issue lately where the time gets thrown off, doesn't seem to sunc properly, and I thought this new ROM might address that issue.

Read the oter posts about the new tilt 2 rom.. there is a couple things that suck. I dont like that it dont have the mini task mannager at the top right where it tells u how much memory is free and beable to close app without haven to open the task manager. It dont have arc messaging client, it has HTC message client, and i dont like how it runs, its really slow. the rom itself is fast, it dont show notifications on the home screen , u have to click on the top taskbar to see if u have a missed call and what ever, also the first thing u need to do is install .net 3.0 before u don anything then u need to do a registry edit to get .net to work right.. There is some other things i dont like about it, thats y im not usen it.. wildchild has made a nice update of this new rom, that fixed alot of things that werent right.. but read the form here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737168 then ull get a better view on this about this rom, whether u want it or not. But the best way to deside if u like it or not is to flash it and try it. Make sure u have the original rom just incase u dont like it. If u dont i have a copy and could upload to hotfile or somethin

1-Besides the above items let me add that the deal breaker for me was they reduced the text input keyboard from 6 or 7 to just 3. No more letter recognition, or handwriting or my preferred method, block recognition. I know is not popular, but I love it becuse it's almost impossible to mistype, it the faster way for me, I use my finger or the stylus and the big plus is it doesn't cover the screen! and I don't even have to look at the screen! The current keyboard covers more than half of the scree and in landscape mode it cover almost all the scree, just one line visible at the top. But the worst thing is that even if I am using the hardware keyboaard it pops over and over again.
2- HTCalbum.exe is just useless. in the Photo and Video tab, if I press "album" to change the albums or to see the grid, it opens the grid view for 1 or 2 seconds and returns to swipe view. If I'm quick enough to press the album key it shows the list of albums but it freezes for a while and returns back again to the swipe mode. The I get an error message from Microsoft with a link to report the error when I press the it asks for Wifi connection. And even if I exit the error message keeps poping up
Internet is definitely slower.
I couldn't find a way to add programs to the WM6 Star menu icons and Sense only allows 9.
How you can see the list of ALL PROGRAMS??
On the good side FM reception is a lot better
The one thing that is noticible better is that finally the the video play is very smooth (sigh) I'm going to miss that because I moving back to the original ROM.

try wildchild rom, its an upgrade from this rom, and alot of probs he has fixed, its a really nice rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=738179&highlight=upgrade
Thanks guys, I'll hang on to what I've got for now and look into the wildchild rom...
So I took the CM9 rom, deleted a few things, changed a few things, messed around changes A LOT of things actually...
But I did this all on Windows believe it or not, so without further explanation this rom needs somebody elses work on it to make it flashable.
I did this for my Epic 4G, and the results were amazing, especially battery life.
This rom; once it works, should free up a tleast 5-10 or maybe more ram. And you should be getting an 1-5 hours more battery life.
So here is the rom that needs work.
Please do not flame me for this, I know I did not make this rom from scratch, all I did was make a few changes for it to be better.
***For the devs who want to work on it: The problems I am concerned about is that I changed the build.prop and the update-script so you will have to double check to make sure that it is ok.***
Notes: I did change one minor(its actually major) thing that might effect everything, I do NOT have an Epic Touch yet so I do not know if it is laggy or not. I am trying to buy one currently.
I did this for my Epic's rom a while ago, so I had the option of 2 things to do to that certain thing, one option is laggy but gives more ram, the other option is smooth as a mofo but a lot less ram. Don't ask what it is, I won't say, I'm sure somebody will figure it out and tell everybody.
This rom needs to be fixed in order to be flashed, thank you.
If I posted it in the wrong section move it or remove it. I posted it here because I didn't CREATE the rom, and I didn't want any trouble.
I took cold medicine that helps me sleep so I am very drowsy now, this whole thread might not make sense, but I wanted to put it up before I went to bed so when I wake up it'll have posts.
wow....so does the text auto fit in browser works?..is video fixed?...wow....lots of things need lots of help...
