Flashed last night to CDMA Energy Rom from PPC Geeks - Impressions - Touch Pro2 CDMA

1) Incoming texts seem to come in stuck to my phone numbers time zone... which is EST, I currently reside in PST. (I've tried to reset this a couple ways...nothin seems to stick).
2) Going to the Settings tab and hitting "Other Misc. settings" Locks up the phone completely. Every time. Have to take the batt cover off and use the reset button (power button doesn't work).
3) While I know landscape mode is buggy, it does work fine in text messages, but doesn't auto-rotate to landscape. So when you go to send a text message you have to be in portrait mode, THEN open the keyboard for it to switch to landscape. (if you've got the keyboard open when you go to send a text, it will remain in portrait mode with the keyboard open).
4) Can't seem to send MMS. Haven't tried receiving. There's a fix supposedly, I have installed the .cab, doesn't seem to be working though.
Will keep posting as I notice more. I'm running the stable build (21864 i think).

how do u activate on sprint...
i cannot get the MSL menu to pop up?????
my phone will not activate tehy are telling me to take into a repair center when i knw i need to get into the MSL menu (but i cannot!!!!)
is there a special code or a special way to do that? or do i need to flash to regular rom.. activate, then flash back?? wtf???
also the settings thing does lock up );

21864 is actually the stable version, so try installing that. I have not gotten my TP2 so I can't test it yet.

Woops. That's the one I'm running. I dunno why I said that other number.

your phone has to be programmed b4 you unlock the security..meaning you have to install factory sprint rom in order for msl to work.....

my last post was for ambush276

Just my $.02, but my experience with energy was not that wonderful, Lots of freeze ups and laggyness. MROM is working with great stability and better battery life than my stock verizon which was very good on battery. I'll be stickin' with it for awhile , although I'm not that amazed by 6.5 anyway. May end up going back to 6.1, much prefer that start menu

I ran a bunch of roms since the unlocker. I was left with 2 Mighty and Energy. I have been running energy all day. All problems except MMS have been resolved at this point and I am very happy with it so far. Tomarrow I am going to run Mighty but from what I saw on PPC it has some issues.

hey if anyone screws off thier prl flashing etc, the sprint touch pro 2 prl is the evdo, triangle roaming to get back to *2 calling sprint rather than say metropcs - took for ever, tried the 21xxx series, it was h e double hockey sticks

EnergyROM_21864... with Dark_Theme_V5.1_WM_6.5_Custom_rom__New_2.1_TF3D... all is working great for me...

im on MighteyMikes and I have to say it is running great. Real Nice and smooth on my Sprint Touch Pro 2. I just which NFSFAN makes the jump over here since I love his roms. I think he makes the best roms for cdma period.

Thanks but I thought an Iphone.cab like Tyn one.
I'm newbis and it's seems so difficult for me to install it
And i am french
Oh I dunno about any iPhone themes.. Personally, I dont like the way the iPhone looks.. I prefer making my own themes via WAD and WA2

Ok, I was very curious to see if it would work on a wizard. It seems to, but it's kind of slow. I haven't really configured it though.
It definately works.. I just installed it, heres some screen shots..

I have to figure out how to get the phone button to work.. but other than that.. it's great
It runs a LITTLE slow, not to bad though, and you can close it by tapping the battery icon.
So this will make your phone look like the iphone? does it work with WM5?
It made my phone look like the iphone, the good thing is its an application so u can close it out.. it should work with WM5.. I dont see why it wouldn't..
So does it work well, like is it slow or fast and is it buggy and stuff?
Its a little choppy... I dont overclock, so.. maybe it's better if you overclock.. the only choppy thing is when you select a program it takes a couple seconds for all the icons to disappear...

you can change that in the Config app, just click right soft button in the app, go to settings, then i believe pop up or something like that, the 3rd one down, then scroll the bar al lthe way to the left and hit set and you'll be good! Also, if you look in the orignal iphone theme thread or one of the threads that listed the numerous parts of the .cab, you can activate the phone by linking it to a cprog.exe file and it'll work fine especially for the dial pad not lining up correctly otherwise pretty nice, especially if overclocked
btw
i'm using a tmobile wing/ herald
Do you have to setup the buttons manually or does it do it automatically? Plus what is the issue with the dialpad? and can u just use the regular interface if this one doesnt work?
Ok I just installed it to my storage card? what do i do know, nothing came up and i dont have anything in my programs folder to launch?
Do a soft reset
it is ok for me to install it to the storage card right? or does it have to be device memory? because after installing it, my phone is not loading after a soft reset its stuck at the splash screen.
Install it to the device.
ok i uninstalled it from my memory card and im gonna reinstall it to the device memory. Maybe that will work. cause when i installed it to the memory card a lot of the icons and shortcuts didnt work.
Alright most stuff is working, but when i click phone it doesnt come up? how can i fix this. i read the earlier post but dont get what it means. Also is there a way to make the 24hr clock to a 12hr clock?

Switch Touch Pro 2 for Droid?

I purchased the Verizon Touch Pro 2 the day it came out, but I have never been happy with the phone. I have had some issues with two of them actually. I’m receiving my third new phone this Thursday. I’m going to sell it off on either Ebay or XDA or something, but I was curious to see if anyone else is jumping ship to the new Motorola Droid. Anyone? I think the droid is a great mixture between the customization of WM6.5 and the stability of Blackberry. What do you think? Anyone taking the leap? I think that will be my next phone. I was excited for the WM6.5 update and what not, but it my eyes WM will never be great until possibly WM7.
PS: If you’re interested in a new HTC Touch Pro 2, we can discuss that too! Just thought I would toss that in there…..
We have almost 20 TP2s. Everyone knows the Droid is coming, no one has asked. I have 10 more eligible for upgrades in the next 2 months, and most of them have asked for a TP2.
you say you have had problems? what kind of problems to go through 3 phones :\
I have seen videos of it and it is buggy. For instance if you go to scroll through contacts or a list you drag your finger and about a half of second later it decides to scroll. Plus I can't stand not having decent gps software.

are you talking about the droid not having decent gps software? The google maps on droid looks pretty damn good to me.
Be wary of "The Droid", last guy that thought it was a good idea to switch... well, it didn't turn out so well ...

if you don't want the freedom of doing anything with a mobile device via mods, hacks, and forums (and I mean anything literally) but rather a very handy device that will perform well out the box...then I recommend the droid...but if you want anything you can think of on a phone...stay with the TP2. Pretty much, the TP2, you have to "fix" and "trick" out to see the "actual" potential of what you have where as the the Android OS, you get most of what you would want right out of the box but has limitations. I stay with windows personally cause if I need something, it's there either on xda or ppcgeeks, period. It's just a matter of finding it.
I say do it. The more people we have working on it, the faster we can root it and start modifying.
It looks like a great phone. I can't wait to pick it up friday.

[Q] Force 2g/EDGE on LG Phoenix???

So, I have extremely crappy 3G coverage at my home sometimes, and it completely prohibits me from speaking to people. I have called AT&T tech support and basically they said they know the transmitter in my area has a problem, and I can go pound sand. A microcell "might" work, but I have heard they have problems on DSL lines, and I really don't feel it is fair that I should have to pay extra for what my service provider should be supplying anyways. But enough with my anger at my provider.....
I just purchased this LG Phoenix and the way I used to get around my 3G problem previously was that I would force 2g/EDGE on my old BlackBerry Bold 9000. Not only that, but it used to save LOTS of battery power. On this phone though, it wouldn't appear you can't disable 3G. I have checked in the settings, and I have tried a couple of different Apps in the android market to no avail.
Have I missed something, or am I just going to have to wait months till developers start rolling out custom ROMs or the like? I really like this phone other than the fact that I can barely make calls on it at my house. Which negates the purpose of owning a phone I suppose.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Well, I see nobody has any answers. That's OK, because I found out what I needed.
Basically AT&T disabled the option to choose your data network within the operating system. (Along with side-loading, which I will admit they fixed with the 2.2.2 update)
What I need to access is in one of the two following menu options on this device:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unfortunately, I have been told that I can deal with it and pound sand, or wait until a custom ROM is adapted to this device.
Sooooo.....
In case anybody actually gives a crap, I have found an answer to my dilemma.
You can force 2g/3g transmitter usage though the hidden menu on your phones.
First, dial: 3845#*505# (Phoenix) 3845#*506# (Thrive)
Scroll down to the "Network Mode" selection and enter.
Automatic is the first selection in that menu. This is what are phones are set to by default. This allows the phone to switch between whatever it thinks is the best wireless network to use. Unfortunately, I can barely talk to people when I have 1 bar of signal in my house, and very often the phone won't switch over to 2g when 3g signal is very weak. 2g also saves A LOT on battery power.
If you want to choose the wireless mode your phone, scroll down to the bottom of that menu and you will find the following options:
- If you choose WCDMA Only, you will connect to the 3G network
- If you choose GSM Only, you will connect to the 2G/EDGE network
I hope this is helpful to somebody other than just me.
Is there an easier way of doing this rather than inputting that code each and every time?

Dlev ROM

Just wanted to say for the people looking for a new rom that dlev just got released today and its the fastest I've used yet.. it looks nice and I'm testing battery soon so ill keep you posted.
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Its very fast, GPS seems to not be locking, I've tried installing ruxkg3 modem, seems to work good, still no GPS
Also Swype needs to be wiped and reinstalled to get it to work. Coming off infused I went from 2400 to 3500 quadrant for what its worth, phone just feels faster. Anyone have any ideas for GPS?
Shane
Yes it feels way faster than infused to me though I love the both of them and it prolly helps that dlev comes with acidtweaks so yeah. I'm trying to learn most of the stuff and fixes for problems.. lol I haven't tried GPS yet. Will there be a fix for the first phone call or is that just a downside for hellraiser?
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Well with heavy usage including a lot of YouTube, Bluetooth my music in my car, texting all day, and just browsing the web I got out 12hrs with 8% left..
INFUSE 1.6 OC
Love this ROM and the Dev responds quick and is making every effort to solve all bugs out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Exactly why I'm deciding on staying with this rom until official GB
Did you guys manage to get the "1st call after boot = no audio" problem? I had to toggle on/off the speakerphone button every single call... I changed ROMs 'cause it was a bit of a hassle trying to quickly answer a call, then realizing I had to turn on/off the speaker option (my friends and family get angry if you don't answer within the first second of picking up the phone lol)

You should only have to toggle speaker after boots and only on first call, after that you should be fine.
Hellraisers Known Issues:
First phone call after a boot will not have sound. Any calls after that are fine. Toggling speakerphone mode seems to fix this immediately.
Using the Market may make data drop if you are not on Wifi. Simply toggling Airplane Mode, and back again will bring data back.
Battery Life test
This ROM has been excellent.
So I did a test trying minimal phone use and manually managing wifi/data. I uninstalled my power/data management app. My phone was on the whole time, maybe a reboot here and there, never powered off, and ran it till it died. I only turned on wifi/data when i needed it and here was the result:

Looking for ROM for perm rooted evo shift

I really do not care if it is butt ugly, I just want a ROM that works with the phone's features:
examples that I can think of:
USB -- able to connect to PC as a usb drive
WiMax -- able to connect to the Sprint WiMax network. That is why I bought the phone in the first place.
3G data -- it is so slow that if it doesn't work I really dont care
built in keyboard -- if that doesnt work what is the point of having this phone?
bluetooth -- I have an A2DP headset that I want to be able to use for music & phone calls
i need it to work with the GPS / Navigation software
i would like to search and get apps from the Market
So far I have tried the following and they do not meet that bar:
Evervolv nightly 10-26-13
Evervolv release 3.2.0.p1
CM 7.2.0
This phone has been out forever, can anyone point me to a ROM that does this?
Try newSENSE or SupremeSense XII

I have been working with SupremeSense XII for the past few days:
Somewhere in the rooting process, my data profile settings got messed up, but the ROM let me update my data profile and that is all taken care of.
So far, I can report that Wifi works as expected. So does 3G.
I have not had the chance to test the WiMax yet, because even though I am in the "best" coverage area I get zero bars of signal in my apartment.
(Added the folloiwng 10/31/13) Last night I was able to connect, get an ip and open a webpage on WiMax while I was at work. Outside here at home the signal says poor??? I walked all around the building, and it never changed. (end of new info)
I was able to pair with my old phone using bluetooth and transfer over all of my contacts. I haven't had a chance yet to use my headset.
Although the Supreme Sense ROM has an option to take screen shots by pressing the power button and home button simultaneously, I am not coordinated enough to do it. aScreenshot seems to be working fine for that.
I was able to get a voicemail widget on the main screen but it does not seem to show if I have any messages waiting.
I was able to put a missed call counter on the main screen, but I have not missed any calls yet to see if it works, lol.
I have a gmail counter on the home screen and the unread message counter works great.
SMS Unread Count installs but it crashes when I try to put it on the home page.
I like to have a different ringtone for any calls that come in that are not in my contact list. I was able to easily accomplish this using Group Ringtone Lite.
I have the phone underclocked using SetCPU.
WiFi Ruler and WiFi Power saver work like a charm.
So, thank you very much for the advice! The only thing I have thrown at this so far that doesn't work is SMS Unread Count!
