Anthony, 15 Jun 2010Pros, 1. “sms get stuck in out box” bug is fixed. 2. sms... moreSounds like a good upgrade ROM wise. I have no problem backing up all my stuff, or re-doing everything. I actually enjoy it...I'm weird.

However, you did scare me a bit with the SD Card and the ROM having the possibility of not fully downloading, and us not knowing what the side-effects could be. So, I think I'm going to wait until I can afford a new laptop. A decision with regards to that will be made withing the next 2 weeks or so. Then I believe we can safely proceed with the ROM upgrade.

As for clearing out some of my phone memory...everything looks pretty straight forward and to the point. Thank you ANTHONY and NICK for replying to that question. I appreciate it very much.

I will be online for the next 11 hours :)

    I cracked my display and it was fixed under warranty by HTC international repairs. All I had to pay for, was to fedex it to the repair country because there is no HTC repair outlet in my country.

          1. “sms get stuck in out box” bug is fixed.
          2. sms now have a message counter.
          3. If you have someone that you sms a lot, you can now start typing to them even when the conversation is still loading.
          4. just a tad more stable than 1.48
          5. The task manager is not in the start menu so it can be loaded in quick links.

          Cons
          Flashing a new ROM will mean..
          1. Having to reinstall all your programs and custom settings.
          2. you will have to backup your data that is kept on internal memory (as you have no PC you can use the “my phone” program or “PIM backup”)
          3. Flashing using the SD card can be dangerous if you have a faulty card or did not get the full ROM download, like what happed to you the first time we did this. But this time because is not being done from the PC and from the SD card instead I don’t know if there is any safe guards that will stop a bad flash like it did with the PC interface software. So you have to be a 100% that you got the full ROM this time. (note: flashing this way dose work, I have done it my self on my phone. I just never tested what would happen if the rom download is corrupted.)

          As for the clean up

          a. Folder: My Device\Music
          Delete the sample song folders.

          b. Folder: My Device\My documents\My Pictures
          Delete all or move to storage.

          c. Folder: My Device\My documents\My wallpapers
          Delete all or move to Storage.

          d. Folder: My Device\My documents\My wallpapers

          e. Folder: My Device\Program files
          Delete the folder "copilot" if you don't use it.

          f. Folder: My Device\Windows\Animated Wallpaper
          Delete all or move to Storage.

          g. Folder: My Device\Windows\
          Delete Opera 9.exe (rom version will replace it don't worry)

          h. Folder: My Device\Windows\
          Delete OperaL.exe (rom version will replace it don't worry)

          i. Folder: My Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
          Delete which ever shortcut you don't need.

          j. Folder: My Device\Windows\Rings
          Delete the Ring tones you don't use or move them to storage.

          k. If you made word, excel, notes, received files over bluetooth or email with attachments,
          and did not change the default save locations, you have to move those files to the SD as well.

            Anonymous, 15 Jun 2010No as its not available in the UK and I already own a HTC HD2.why did you buy a window mobile phone if you really wanted an android phone? you can get it to look like an android or win 7 but it can't actually be any of them. it is, what it is. know what you want before you buy.

                    Is it possible to get the HD2 running on Android OS as opposed to WinMob 6.5? If so, how? (I'm sure I read a while back that someone had done this). Failing this, will it be possible to upgrade to WinMob 7.0 later this year?

                        Suddenly this morning I no longer have the option to dismiss or snooze any alarms / reminders. The alarm sounds but i have to unlock the phone, open the notifications screen and then click on snooze / dismiss. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

                          Anthony, 15 Jun 2010yes it looks like it was done the SSPL way. do you want to... moreI think the only option is the SD Card way (of which I have no clue what the process consists of).

                          Is 1.66 much better? What are the main pros vs. cons?

                          I also was wondering if there are any particular files that I be deleting in order to free up memory on the phone...like in the youtube folder or anything of that nature?

                          Thanks Anthony.

                            ProjectCM3, 15 Jun 2010Anthony: As always, you are correct. It is as follows: ... moreyes it looks like it was done the SSPL way.
                            do you want to update to the 1.66 ROM?
                            if yes the easy way would be HSPL but if you don't have a friend that would let you install WMDC or ActiveSync on there PC, you will have to do it the SD card way.

                                Anthony, 14 Jun 2010You don't need your notes to know if you used SSPL or HSPL.... moreAnthony:

                                As always, you are correct. It is as follows:

                                PB81100 HX-BC
                                SPL-1.42.000 XE
                                MicroP(LED) 0x05
                                MicroP(TOUCH) 0x30

                                So I'm assuming that I ended up using the SSPL. Agree?

                                  Just go into the phones boot loader and you will see the info there.
                                  If you used SSPL you will see your old SPL still in there.
                                  If you used HSPL, you will see the HSPL version in there.
                                  To get into the boot loader....
                                  Power off the phone.
                                  Hold the "volume down" key.
                                  Tap "power on" keep holding the volume. You will see the info on the colour bands.

                                  Note: to get the phone out of the boot loader you will have to take out the battery.

                                    I'll let you know as soon as I get home about the HSPL or SSPL. I can't wait to work on my phone again!

                                      The email address is a push address on the phone so you can get my attention there for an emergency but I really do think it is best that questions about the phone are put on gsmarena so others can benefit as well.

It was an insane time with the free wifi constantly dropping, me having to go to net cafe's and my laptop monitor dieying all at the same time...in Munich Germany where my german language was acceptable to say the best :)

                                        I have a lot of information saved on a word doc. somewhere at home that I copy pasted from this blog. Info you gave me with the whole ROM change process. I will try to transfer it to my phone so I can view it and see whether it was HSPL or SSPL...it definitely was not Goldcard. I’ll look into it once I get home and let you know.

                                        It feels good to get back and talk to someone that knows their stuff as well as you do. And its also nice to know you remember me. It saves a lot of explaining :) Also, what time zone are you in? This will make things easier for me to figure out when to write on here and when not to.
