Develop Bugs

Newbie to TP2..Asking Some Genral Ques..

Well Hello Fellows...
As u ppls can see on my Sig...i just returned my Htc G1 due to some keyboard issue..and i m ready to do some nasty work for my TP2 but i need some answers before doing something with my TP2..
1st-- y we need some custom rom like 6.5.5...while we are already getting everything on the stock rom..and custom roms are same as stock rom some of the difference that the apps tab icons are big(as i am seeing on Custom Rom )<---- Prove me if i m wrong about it
2nd-- i m sooooooo exited to see android on HP2 and i really appreciate the hard work of the developers but i will wait till complete rom comes out ...and my main cause was to buy that machine is to use android on it but i need some user experience.....
3-- i want to know that difference between dual boot ..
3a --- as i saw that a dev created an app that we can directly boot android when we turn on the phone without booting in to WM...
3b---other is that 1st we need to turn on windows mobile then android ...
4--i will ask later when i get my other answers
i want to know which process is best like which process drain minimum battery and run android kinda normal speed...i know that its not that fast but come on ..
these are the main ques that are like dancing all time in my mind..Plz ignore my dictionary and answer my ques
ThankYou..

1. Different ROMs provide different experiences. For instance, the 6.5.x ROMs have a more finger-friendly navigation altogether, with the Windows Start button being at the bottom of the screen instead of the top.
Different ROMs will also give you different benefits. NRGZ ROM comes cooked with a radio app that doesn't need headphones (but of course, if you have a CDMA TP2, you won't have a radio to begin with). Deep Shine ROM makes the most of the Zoom Bar down at the bottom of the screen of your TP2. And Valkyrie's ROMs (the one I use) provides the most stability.
Note though that 6.5.x ROMs tend to be slower than most stock-ROMs.
2. You should just try Android for yourself. In my experience, Android was good. I actually downloaded the Facebook app with it, right after I downloaded the Facebook app for WinMo. So it was funny to see those two updates on my Facebook.
Regardless, sound doesn't work, and Camera doesn't work. When those two functions work, I myself will probably be using Android more than WinMo. I don't care much about BT. Look in the Android section of this sub-forum, find out for yourself.
3. Dual-boot simply allows you to boot one operating system first. So say you didn't want to boot WinMo first, then Android, the dev's app allows your to just boot Android first before WinMo. Simple as that.
Ask anything else, but take a look around first.

thanks buddy for your quick reply
well i have Vodafone Tp2..idk that is Cdma or not right now i using stock rom for windows mobile 6.5.5..that what the device says it have Sense UI i think TF3d 2.5...so i saw not much difference between my stock rom and the custom rom..and for the android ques well i was asking that which way is better ot use android like i think if i boot throught windows mobile then windows mobile will also take some ram else if i directly turn on android then android will use all the ram.and atleast runs better for this direct process and drain less battery....thats what i think and well i watched alot of videos and surfing web for this like 2weeks before asking these ques....
4---well for some games i want to use fpecse emulator...so any way to overclock the tp2..becoz i saw some of the videos of the emulator on Hd2 .. it runs the game pretty smooth...
5--App2SD..well can we use ap2sd on TP2 while using android?? <---Dump ques

4. There isn't a way (yet) to overclock your TP2. Oddly enough, Android on the TP2 is overclocked. But overclocking it via WinMo isn't possible as of current.
Regardless, playing certain games on FPSCE like FF7 works just fine. The more graphically enhanced the game is, the more the phone will lag. Every game I've loaded onto my phone (including the graphically beautiful Call of Duty 2) has worked just fine. Certain games are only in VGA, so download the WVGA fix (it's located in the "Programs to Download for your TP2" thread in the sub-section "Themes and Apps").
5. I wouldn't know about that, but if you want to put programs on your SD card, I believe they have a fix for that in the Android programs already. So, see that thread in "Android Development."

thanks mate for your quick reply .. well what about ram consuming?? speed effects.. direct android boot or android through windmo??
i know that i need to test it my self but also want to know the ppls expreience about android

The sad story of the reducing Desire

About 3 months ago (end of march?) I upgraded from my old trusty Hero to the new HTC Desire, and as everyone who has had the joy of owning one I've been very happy with it, specially after (with the unvaluable help of XDA) I managed to iron out some of its quirks.
My only issue with it is that lately I keep getting the annoyng taskbar icon and message that says that there's no more space available on my phone and that I should delete some more apps to free some more space.
I constantly kept reducing the number of my apps every few days, renouncing to some I was quite fond of, and eliminating all double functions even though I liked to have the possibility to choose, but the space keeps getting smaller and smaller, not because I install more apps , but only because I update the apps I already have.
Every time I update my apps the newer versions apparently take more space than the ones they substitute, so that nearly every time I update I am forced to erase at least one of my apps.
Soon I'll have space for only one super-updated app !
I have noticed that the "no more space" icon & message pops up every time the free space goes under 10% and after the latest updates I have only 9% ( 13 mb) left.
The problem is that now I have just the absolutely necessary apps, those I feel I just can't do without.
All in all , including all the original apps and programs that came with the phone and that it's impossible to erase, I've got 128 icons on my menu.
Is that many?
I'm pretty sure that I had more in my old Hero.
On my other phone , an HTC HD2, I have found a very useful app (for win mob 6.5) that frees memory and even speeds up the phone, does anyone knows of an equivalent program for Android 2.1?
Or maybe of some way to get some free space by some other method, like moving something to the mem card, or getting rid of some useless stuff?
Please?
This thing is getting relly frustrating.

No way to solve this issue barr flashing a FroYo rom or installing APPS2SD
Easier to install a FroYo rom but they are still buggy.

OT: how do you like your Desire compared to the HD2?
I have the HD2 and I think the phone hardware is great, love the screen and the RAM and ROM. So far the best phone I have ever had, and I have had a lot.
I would love to try Android (would love to have it on a phone with the HD2 specs - and ATT )

I came from HD2 as well and I have to agree that HD2 hardware is far more superior than the Desire. The build quality is good, large screen is gorgeous.
However, I prefer Android so much more than Winmo. Glad that I made the switch.

it seems to be THE OS everyone is going to. I will wait until 2.2 gets on a phone that I can use with ATT, and that might only be a month away.

This is a known issue, I've had it but it seems to have gone. While I have no 100% sure cure I will try to give you some advice, hopefully it will solve the problem.
Question (please reply) : does your phone take a lot (I mean A LOT) of time to power down? I ask this because I feel there's a problem with the Desire's shutdown routine, it should clear some cache and old/obsolete data during shutdown but sometimes it fails.
Back to your problem, you have 2 options: try to force the phone to do the right thing and reclaim space OR restore to factory default and reinstall everything. Of course, second option is a little bit painful but as you have already been forced to uninstall most of the apps you'll have less to reinstall after a full wipe.
As for first option:
- try to power down / reboot your phone several times in a row; be patient, let it do it's thing, don't pull the battery out.
- power down your phone then power up by keeping MENU key pressed until it boots up: this will force it into safe mode (it only loads apps installed in the ROM, not the ones you added later). Can't really tell you why/how this helps but it solved my problem and it doesn't hurt to try. After booting into safe mode check the amount of space you have: should be OK now. Power down the phone and power up normally.
- check your apps (Settings, applications, manage applications) to see which ones take so much space. Maybe it's the browser cache, maybe Gmail storage or whatever. After taking care of one or more of them (e.g. clear browser cache) reboot your phone (power it down as it should, not by pulling battery out, to allow it to do it's shutdown routine).
I really hope this helps, I know how frustrating it can be. Froyo can't come soon enough! Or some real/safe root method.

I have been experiencing similar problems (although far less extreme), I tried starting in safe mode, clearing the browser cache and restarting, my free memory went from 74Mb to 105Mb but this change only showed up after the restart.

Thanx for the the prompt answers and the suggestions which I am trying right now.
I did'nt think about emptying the the browsers' caches because I thought that this kind of data would be kept in my capacious 16GB sd card.
I'm gonna do it right away because I use 3 browsers: Opera as default, but also Xscope and Dolphin which are really great to watch flash videos and I love watching long BBC documentaries in my spare time.
Besides I just noticed that Xscope automatically clears its cache on exit (if the option is activated) and Dolphin stores it on the memo card (also if the option is checked).
As for your questions.
1) No, my Droid switches off (and on ) very fast, much faster than my old Hero or my old N97, or my old Omnia, faster than my old HTC HD, and even slightly faster than my (actual) HTC HD2.
I guess it's thanks of the snappy Snapdragon CPU.
2) I do feel a bit silly having 2 phones but after having tried a Hero I just had to buy one and once I did I immediatly became a true Android convert.
I use Gmail, Gdocs, Gcalendar as my basic programs and iGoogle is my startpage , moreover the choice of free apps on Android market is without equal (i know because my wife insists on using iPhone 3GS, and now she even bought a 27" iMac hoping to get the same seamless sync'ing I get with my google apps on PC and my Android phone).
But no matter how much I love Android, the HD2 ,( which I had since september 2009) is just too good to let it go.
Forget about all the great Android Apps, but to watch pics, vids, to read e books and downloaded PDF pages, and also to listen to music it has no equal (in my opinion).
The camera and videocam (after applying the latest firmware and the fixes found here on XDA) are better than those on the Desire.
The voice dialing for the HD2 just works (thanx to dutty's work) also via BT headset and headphones, while the Desire's best voice dialing app (choice dialer) still tends to suck and the lack of a dedicated "call" button makes things even worse .
For one like me, who spends most of his waking time driving a car , voice dialing is a must; and the one Dutty fixed for the HD2 is just great.
Last but not least I bought that beautiful HD2 active holder for table and car (which does not fit the Desire) and I also bought CoPilot sat nav for the HD2 which works perfectly too.
As an excuse for having 2 phones usually I say that I need one for business and one for private use and maybe sometimes it's true too.
I usually keep the Desire in my pocket and the HD2 in my car or briefcase.
In any case because of my job, most of the time (nearly always actually) I am obliged to find space in my briefcase for a good bridge camera, a little vidocam, a dictaphone, and my netbook with accessories and peripherals, plus assorted gizmos according to the specific situation at hand, so the HD2 doesn't really change much in terms of weight.
Unfortunately the only phone that maybe would be able to substitute both my phones would probably be the HTC EVO but it seems like this beauty will never make it to our decadent european continent.
So I look forward to be able to buy the Dell Streak (mini5) and I really hope that next month , once hopefully I'll finally manage to wrap my fingers around it, I will not end up carrying 3 phones.
What do you think?
I'm a desperate case?

OF course not, you are like me and other Desire users... I'm not sorry i bought the phone and even thought that i wouldn't mind having such little space for apps, but really - we have so many apps and can't installed it because of the limited space...
This is also HTC fault because they have to win money, but for what we pay for the Desire and others, we really shuld have bigger internal space (1GB was enough for now).
Froyo will surely solve our main problems, and i also have 2 phones...
I will replace my simple Nokia when WP7 will be released at the end of the year, since i will never have an Apple device bought my me.
The i will have the two best: Android and WP7 - and i know that WP7 won't suffer from another annoying thing on Android: platform fragmentation. I'm sure that all WP7 devices will be automatically updated to latest versions of the OS which not occur with Android phones.

W7 looks poised to be a winner, however in my opinion Sense UI and the changes that HTC made to win mobile 6.5 for the HD2 , are so good that I really don't thik that this particular device needs a different OS.
HTC managed the incredible feat of making win 6.5 good, easy and a plasure to use.
In fact probably when (if) an upgrade for the HD2 will become available , I don't think that I will rush to install w7, which (as all new OSs) will probably see the light burdened with all sorts of bugs, glitches, and childhood diseases, while the newest ROM for HD2 coupled with Sense UI is eminentely stable, and just... good.
What win would need to compete with android is the so called "ecosystem" or "environment" : apps (specially free apps) and integration with cloud services, like Android does with Gmail, Gmaps (with sat nav), Gdocs, Gtalk, Gcalendar, Gtranslate, etc. etc.
I mean, have you seen the Windows marketplace? It's pathetic.
Even OVI market for my old N97 was better than this and I remember that it relly sucked.
They even removed the few free apps there used to be.
As good as W7 will turn out to be, one thing no OS can do is fixing this kind of structural weaknesses in the win "ecosystem".

I think it's for HTC's own good to update the Desire as soon as possible since potential buyers could go out to buy a Nexus if they wait too long.
With the Hero-update, it's another story I think because there were some issues and I think performance was one of them. And that way, HTC managed Hero users to go out and buy the Desire.
But this time, they can't do that move since the Desire is their top-device and the Nexus is a rival although they created the device. HTC would rather people buy the Desire than the Nexus of course.

Well its been a long time since I have played with any winmo device, but I believe ms will make things right with wp7. They already announced new live wave 4 and hotmail support for POP3 and a lot of new techs. Also the so called ecosystem is going great, wp7 will have Xmas and xbox games on it (you will be able to play the very same games on mobile, xbox and pc). The new demos I have seen are amazing and done in very little time, and this is great for developers. One thing that I should expect is, although I like the new OS aspect, they intend that all devices should look the same. This is good for the final user, but for me, an enthusiastic user, I would want to make it more customized. Maybe latter on we will see this happening, but I will bet wp7 will rock! If only Nokia would put all their potential in making great phones with Android and wp7, that would be also great! Fingers crossed

Slow performance after WM6.5 upgrade

Hi, I have a Verzion TP2 and finally took the plunge to do the VZW WM6.5 upgrade.
Bad decision! I'm experiencing really slow performance and reduced battery life.
I like some of the new features, but the slow performance is not acceptable.
Anyone have any good advice for speeding things up? I know disabling sense UI will help, but then it would just be another crappy WM UI phone.
I did some searching here and wasn't able to find much. (Admittedly I didn't spent tons of time looking.)
Help is greatly appreciated! TIA!

Just put a custom rom on your phone and most of your problems are solved. And believe me, you never want to go back to stock.

THanks for the info. Not certain that I want to go away from stock because my carrier (Verizon) may get quite cranky & not want to support me or service my phone if something goes wrong.

I have an unbranded European version of the phone on the UK Vodafone network, so I'm not sure how much help I can be. But I thought I would offer some advice based on my own experiences.
Firstly I assume the version of WM6.5 you upgraded to is the Sense 2.1 version and not Sense 2.5? I remember when I first upgraded I immediately noticed a big slowdown in comparison to the WM6.1 version which flew. If it's any help, you'll soon learn to live with the slowdown and eventually it will become "normal" and it's only when you downgrade you'll realise the difference.
In terms of speeding up the device there is not much you can do, apart from reduce the ram usage. There are a couple of cabs which significantly lower the ram usage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532948
Secondly you might want to install an app called "memmaid" or "sktools" and disable certain processes and apps from starting up. Admittedly I don't really know what most of these processes do, but I've generally found these ones are ok to disable:
certenroll
notificationmanager
htcsipsrvc
gpsprivacy
softwaredisable
htcservices
dtpt
sqmupload
btagsvc
ssw
ussd
htcap
The same goes for startup applications where I have found these are ok to disable. (ignore the apps that are not installed on your device)
poutlook
speedbmonitor
delwmptempfolder
htcstartup
pkg
spbmobileshell (I have a switcher between this and Sense interface so dont need it on startup)
memmaidtweaks
superstarter.exe
Also, I remember seeing certain apps u can download from here that strip certain branded roms of all the bloatware. As my Touch Pro 2 is not branded, I've never used one and don't have any knowledge on them. But I'm sure someone on here will gladly point you in the right direction for a Verizon one. (If it indeed exists)
You might also want to install "advancedconfig" where you can tweak certain things in your phone to speed it up a bit.
I realise you don't want to go down the custom rom route, but unfortunately it may the only way to achieve what you want. I've now customised my official WM6.5 Sense 2.1 rom to how I want it (whilst waiting for my upgrade so I can switch to something like the HTC Desire on Android) and therefore don't use a custom rom, but I've tested the vast majority of the custom roms and I'm sure you'll find something you like. In your case, I'd suggest a hybrid of WM6.1 with the Sense 2.5 interface. If you can get your head around the lack of smooth scrolling in certain apps and what-not, you'll find a nice balance of speed and a very pretty sense 2.5 interface. (I personally couldn't get my head around it haha!)
I'd very much like to use a custom rom as I quite like Sense 2.5, but there was always a problem with the text message app. Be it the very slow "HTC Messaging" or the problem with the unread count after disabling it. I haven't tried a custom rom in a few months now so I'm not sure if this has been resolved. If so, can someone please let me know as I can't keep hard resetting my phone to test.
Anywayz good luck, and I hope this helped a bit. I don't come on this site too often but I will bookmark this page and try and remember to check it so if you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks fade to black for your well laid out response.
I am also waiting to upgrade to the Desire next month but I am not sure I want to get rid of my Touch pro 2. I am so used to the hardware keyboard plus even though I would have had the phone for 1 year by 30 July, it looks brand new. Carrying 2 smartphones about is not an option for me. I have also just had the screen replaced under warranty after it developed newton rings. HTC returned the phone with the latest WM6.5 i.e. with Sense 2.5 and it seems very smooth. No crashes or nothing since I have had it back about a week now.

You're very lucky then as I still have a year left on my contract :-( Lol..
Yeah losing the hardware keyboard is a bit worrying, but i've not had the HTC Wizard, then the Kaiser, and then the Touch Pro 2. So to be honest I'm quite looking forward to a "thin" device for once. Hopefully will be able to get used to the onscreen keyboard.
You could always try waiting a few more months until HTC release an android device with a keyboard? Tbh it's quite surprising how they haven't already.

@Fade2Black101 Thanks for the suggestions! I have begun looking at things and immediately went for disabling the push internet because my memory is a bit tight. Well, instead of installing the CAB file I went in to manually edit the registry and found that it was not enabled in my ROM. :-(
I'm going to try some of the other stuf you suggested, but have not had time as of yet.
I probably shouldn't be, but I am shocked that Verizon released an update that brings the phone to it's knees in terms of performance.

was there a noticable difference in ram usage after editing the push setting? I remember when I tried doing it manually and it didnt have the same effect as installing the cab. So unless you noticed a big change, i'd suggest using the cab.

I don't have Verizon, but, if the rom's out there for Verizon are like the GSM ones, you can probably download the "stock" Verizon Rom, in case you need warranty service. Just flash back to the stock version before returning it.
Of course, if you phone is unbootable, then, you're pretty much screwed

I checked the registry and the settings weren't even there except for one and it was set to disabled. Also when I check the task manager under processes, opera isn't there. So I'm pretty sure that push internet is not running on my phone.

[Q] Some questions about Android on HTC Diamond

Hi!
I've started to use a DIAM100 approx. 1 year ago. I've tried a lot of ROMs with it, and I think that the MEMO ROM provides the most functionalities/services, without too much speed slowdown, so I'm using it for every day usage, but I have to say:
Windows Mobile provides a lot of functionalities, but:
it's a little slow
it's GUI is a little ugly
it has a lot of apps, and I'm happy with most of them, but there are dozens of apps, that aren't usable, or they are very slow, or/and haves ugly GUI.
(If I use internet on my device, or write emails on it, [in brief: if the screen's backlight is on & I touch the screen a lot] the battery drains fast... Is this only my problem? Do I have to buy new batteries?)
(If I use GPS without car recharger, the battery drains fast... Is this only my problem?)
So I would be happy to move to Android (maybe iPhone but it has a lot of limitations... does Android have limitations?). I like my device, and it's a cheap one, so if I don't have to, then I don't want to buy a new one, so I tried a lot of Android builds...
I think that everybody knows what's the problem with them:
The battery life is short with them
Camera isn't working with them
A variety of other problems...
I have read dozens of forums, researched the internet a lot in that topic, but I have some questions:
Where can I follow the development process of the Android porting to HTC?
If the battery draining problem would be solved i would use my current device for every day use with Android. What do you think: Approximately when this can be done?
Is there any current Android build for a DIAM100, that can be used for every day usage? (I want to use mobile internet and push sync, and listen to some music with my headset... If these are working with any build for one day, than it's OK. (If I use Windows Mobile and do these things, than my mobile can hold the battery power only for one day... I have to recharge daily... If I only enable the push sync, and make some calls, than it can hold for ~2 days.))
I'm a programmer, and I would be happy if I could take a part in the porting work... How can I participate? There are some opportuinities that I found, but what do you think, what is the best?
What do you think? Should I wait for the porting to be done, or buy a new, Android based device?
(If the build that meets my requirements, and can run some 3D games too, and can use the G-Sensor, than I would be very happy I have a HTC Hero now for only some days, and I have to say, that it's very cool...)
Thanks for any answer in advance!

Android is like windows mobile,you can customize how you want
The battery is a problem and that's sad,you can use it for a day but you won't have to use wi-fi,3g and bluetooth
This is the biggest project involved in porting android 2.1 and 2.2 on our diamond

'Optimising' the Touch Pro 2 (WITHOUT FLASHING!)

Ok, i cant flash my Orange branded Touch Pro 2. SOOOOOO....
I have searched for the absolutly best way to get the ultimate performance from my device. Whether its the Orange ROM (WM6.5) or some wee glitch with my phone, ive had issues. I find Sense slow and buggy and have been plagued with freezes and having to rest several times every day. Battery performance has been poor and in general a fantastic machine just wasnt cutting the mustard (even went back to my Kaiser for a while).
The problems seem to be common enough tbh.
Anyway with just a few differences my machine has become the chalk against the previous cheese. A hard rest and forgetting about Sense was the start. Ive replaced it with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5. Combined with obvious backlight time adjustments, and a few 'Advanced Config' tweaks, my Touch Pro 2 has just become a different machine!
Much more smooth and resets just arent necessary.
Ive sacraficed Opera for the latest Opera Mini. More than adequate for my purposes and the interface is actually handier to use for people whos internet access is concentrated on just a few sites/ forums.
Im not on here advertising SPB by the way, just what ive found myself!
Unless you are a massive super user, i dont find the need for OCT or the like. I use MSM most of the day, regular Opera Mini, heavy SMS and occasional Word Mobile and find hte above arrangement brilliant.
Has anyone else any suggestions in the same vein that can help even more?? I am, and im sure most users are, open to minor tweaks. Flashing is a no go.

I prefer CHT with OCT. My device absolutely flies. When it begins to lag a bit after using more than 5 apps, I just CleanRAM custom. Works like a charm. I have found that the device will work at maximum performance when installing everything to the Storage Card. Having all the RAM available for the OS keeps it faster for me. It seems that there is a performance difference when you have 70Gb as opposed to 50Gb. CleanRAM really is the greatest thing for this device.
I tried SPB Shell a few months ago, but I think CHT is much better. Theres way more customization and I find it easier to navigate. You just put your favorite apps in 3 pages. The Shell had things needlessly in different locations and into sub categories. It just didn't suit me.

use these roms. energy reference or titanium. theyre smooth and easy

I was trying to use a modded HTC Home plugin with HTC Home Customizer but ran up against too many problems, so I've returned to Sense for now. I'm hoping to flash a new ROM sometime soon, once I've reinstalled XP and 7 on my PC (I've only got Vista left as running normally, and dislike it too much to rely on it). I've also installed SPB shell on my wife's Acer e200, so was considering it, but I want to finish running some tests with the graphics drivers available here, with sense vs. sense turned off and some minor media playback issues first.

oh, i should have said. flashing is pretty much ur only way to improve what you want.
soooo.... if flash is a no go... new device maybe?
