xda 2 slow to populate screens, slow seems busy ! help!!!

hi my xda 2 has always seemed slow in comparison to my xda1 - i think i have put this down to lots of things running in the background perhaps thing i dont need can anyone put the spotlight on a remedy any help or comments around this would be very usefull - i am so frustrated i feel like reverting to my xda 1

It´s a bad version of the roms i guess. My old one had the same problem, really really slow. Just like a program have hang or similiar.
Try upgrading to a newer version!

defective rom...... ??? cany you direct me to a good version
hi i have now waded through numerous links and downloaded many files and have even set about installing the imate rom only to be given error code 120..... i then spent lots of time reading of a fix for this but it simply got too complicated for me....... i am concerned i might break the device if i foul-up - i also visited yorch.net for a cooked rom option however it apears to be offline ? if you could or if anyone could direct me to a .exe type install of a good stable rom i would be very gratefull. thanks for any help. :?

Perhaps the simplest way to diagnose why your device is slow, is to list down what is in your startup folder?
\My Device\Windows\Startup

xda 2 very slow ..... list of things in startup folder
\windows\startup
in this folder there are short cutss to all of the following .... active,aflashman,cflashman,checkautorun,chgDfLnk,IA-caller-id,MMreg,poutlook,stk, and tFlasMan.....
would you mind explaining to me the significance of this start up folder and what effects changing the contents of the folder would have on the operationg system ? your advice as to which items are probally not required would also be welcome ..
thanks Heath.

To **All Rom cookers** to avoid making Full and Lite version use PocketPC Installer

Dear Sirs and senior members and members:
At the beginning I would like to make it clear why I called the Title like that, not to make me important or to gain more readers, its because I appreciate the great efforts that have been done in this Forum to make it great and to help each other to find new ways to make your work better and better.
My Suggestion this time is to avoid the unnecessary copies of the same Rom build with all the extras or without anything “Full, Lite, Big storage etc…” and I think all of the Rom cookers faced the problem that they cant make a Rom which will make all the members satisfied, and many of them got the problem that as soon as they are finished with there ROMs a new versions appears of the same programs included in there ROMs and that way the cant be called NEW because of some old things, and the most weird thing that the Rom cookers make is to include many programs in the Rom that an be installed separately on the memory card which I can understand at all they work hard for very long time to make a fast and stable Rom as possible and they put all the extras in the Rom which make it heavy without any reason programs like “Winrar, Adobe acrobat reader, Adobe Flash lite, Real Player, etc…” puts many megabytes in the device memory and the Rom.
My SUGGESTION is very simple please use some kind of a program Like PocketPc installer (http://www.pocketpctoolkit.com/WhatIsIt1_PPCInstaller.php) which you make include all what you want of programs in it and port it with the Rom which we can copy to our memory cards to install the chosen programs that any one of us likes on the device memory or the memory card just like some modified copies of Windows XP which asks after the installation which programs to install , Please make a look at this program to get more detailed information about the idea.
Thank you for your kind Patience to read the Long post.

The foundation of XDA and its tools is built on free and open software, while windows mobile is not, the installers that are used, the build tools that are used, and the other various tools we use are built on donated time, resources, and a willing to share knowledge. We do not however want to use software that requires us to pay for to package the software that we are trying to give to the community to make better.
This is not an advertising forum, nor is this a place to try to make a false plea to our developers/packagers to buy and use software that you may own and are selling.
While your tool could be of use. If you were to release it free, I could see them using it. As for paying for something so we can give the community free roms doesn't seem very smart.
Thanks,
Andrew

My SUGGESTION is very simple please**(Use some kind of a program Like)** PocketPc installer
Please **(Take a look at this program)** to get more detailed information about **(the idea)**.
I am not and dont have any cnnection to this site or the programm maker to push you to buy anything, and the link that i have gave is just to show you my idea with Pictures and more details .
Thank you for your replay and i would like to know your openion for this idea.

Hi ahmedkom,
I totally agree with your idea, rom chefs could make an ultra lite roms as the base rom and including an installer program to run CAB files from memory card. So that everyone could have their custom set of program and setting, and remove/updates could be apply without the process of downloading a new buly rom and take risks of flashing the device every week/few days...
CAB files could do manything from minor settings, registry, file operation to full program installation.
Beside PocketPC Installer, I suggest to use a program called CeleCommand (http://www.yonsm.net/read.php?329) for installer program. Worth try it out coz it can do many tasks..
just my 2 cents.

I totally agree ahmedkom too.

ok, i'm agree with you, but there are differences between integrating the apps and installing them after running the rom, many of apps use windows directory to install some files and that give the OS overload, otherwise if they are already integrated with the rom, they will not overload on the OS.
we have to keep this (lite and full versions) if the user doesn't need some apps integrated on the rom, he can use the lite version then he have to install whatever he wants.
the good thing from cookers is to create lite and full versions with make add ons cabs for the apps were not include on the lite version.
good thread dude for users and cookers .

Although I don't think it's a straight replacement for options, or variations I should say, in a ROM, I do think this looks like a damn useful app.

its a big honor to me to get answers from the seniors and i am very glad for you post its right but i didnt mention the programs that are installed in windows folder i am talking about the programs that we can install in the memory card just like pocket rar ,realplayer, totalcommander,gsfinder,1-calc LITE,tcpmp etc..

Can anyone create a application for themes and software

that can be accessed from the phone itself,something like cydia(iphone) so that we can download cab files directly to the phone, using the phone itself.
What does everyone think?

Did you tried using the Diamnod TF3D config? It has the theme changer opt.

i guess the application/ online database requested is an app-store where one can browse online new apps, themes, drivers etc and download and install them instantly. like the packages with linux or the homebrew-browser at the wii.
i would like to see aomething like this as well, but it has to be more than just a simple program ...

A very nice idea!!
I also think that this will be a very complicated "app-store" with f.e. version management, manual downloading etc.

Re: Android Installation Issue

Re: Android Installation Issue
Dear Pros,
Kindly, I would like to inform that I have a problem when I want to install Android on my TP2 I get an error when I run the "Haret.exe" which is "Launch a script file. Default path is the same where the executable lives. default.txt" and next to "default.txt there is (Run), so when I click on "Run" a message appear "Cannot open script file \Storage Card\default.txt" . Morever, under that there's something called "Start waiting for connection on port 9999 when you connect, you'll get a remote hardware examination tool. That's it .. ?!!
So, would someone tell me how to install Android 2.2 .. ?!!
By the way, I've already installed Dual-Boot, but the issue now how install it without any problems.
Last thing .. If I run Android and use it always, so I will spoil the battery like this way .. ?!!
Thanks a lot to you.
Your Brother,
Mulham

use the startup utility and then just check the path to haret.exe, if you would rather use dual boot then make sure haret in on root of sd card
and as for the battery, using android could spoil it as it would change charging habits

No, the default.txt error is happening because you don't have a startup.txt. Please copy the startup.txt over for your device per the FAQ.

Thanks a lot to you guys. It's working now ..
One thing more .. After the Android started up v2.2 it's so slow on my TP2, and at the same time I feel that there's some problems like when you want to choose any option it won't to open .. !!
Anyway, thanks again to you
Thanks.

Dear Pros,
I need a solution for this problem .. ?!!
I have a question about Android. It's possible to install the official ROM of Android on the TP2 .. ?!!

No, it isn't.

Dear Pros,
Kindly, I would like to from you to provide me a link for downloading the Android build version as same as this video which is "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sZziersP7s&feature=related", so would someone share this information to be available for everyone, and I will be grateful to you

Are you serious? Please tell me this is just a joke and that you're trolling. It's the first thread of the Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development sub-forum. Do a search next time.

[Q] Installed Facebook, now can't find it (?)

Hi!
m.facebook offered me to install Facebook app.
I have installed it, but it said that I have to install the signed version, so my phone stop asking for permissions. that also went well.
When I installed it, it offered me to start the app. It worked well.
Now I wanted to run the app again, but I cannot find it anywhere. It is not on the app list, it is not in program files, not listed on remove programs list, not on the storage card...
When I tried to install it again, it said that it is already installed...
What could I do more to find where it is?
Thank you in advance!

try with Facebook Tab v1.6 (+192xPatch) ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651007

Thank you for your reply! I will try it.
But still I don't understand how is it possible that a program which worked normally when started first time cannot be found anywhere on the device?
It must be somewhere ?
Any similar experience with "invisible" installed program?
tnx

another idea would be to use XDA winmo facebook instead of the official app.
the official app is hardly more than the mobile version of the site with added image upload availability, while XDA winmo facebook is more similar to android's or ios's facebook app and can handle requests and places...
it can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-facebook/downloads/list

A good referrals Chef

Thanx for the answer!

You say "thanx for the answer", but you haven't had it! That official FB app is a Java app, and you will need to run the Java program, then select it from the list.
Cheers
