You will need to flash a custom ROM that doesn't contain the camera packages (software). However, these ROMs are not available, as far as I know.

Can you give me the link for a good ROM with cool look and battery backup!

If you want one without a camera package, you'll probably just have to download someone's kitchen and remove the camera stuff. Are you sure the company would still let you use the phone? If it were my company, I wouldn't. All you'd need to do is install a cab to get the camera working again.

HEy Thanks buddy! i will try that ROM.anyway can you also provide me with a ROM link with alll the features,camera and stuf running now..if you dont mind.i want to keep a track of that s well.

TLR Kaiser Hybrid 1.08.02.04, 6.1 VF ROM / VF Radio + HTC OEM + CF removed

As the title says, this is a WinMo 6.1 hybrid, with Vodafone ROM + Radio (both newest), OEM section from the HTC latest build and .net CF / SQL Mobile removed so that you can switch between either 2.0 or 3.5 installs at your leisure using the appropriate CAB (good for developers who are testing!)
This ROM is therefore 'in a HTC style' but with the good bits from the Vodafone ROM.
NO OTHER CHANGES!
Aside from .net changes, the contents of this ROM are completely stock.
DOWNLOAD:

Edit from Sleuth: you can't host ROMs on XDA Developers FTP site. M$ has sent us a notice of legal action for this. Plz use some other service then post a link here.
Edit by TLR: Look closely, it's not the XDA Developers FTP site.
.NET CF 3.5 REDISTRIBUTABLE DOWNLOAD:

NOTE: You will need to flash HardSPL on your device first to flash this ROM!
Well done mate, could be great rom for the chefs to work with!
Everyone knows a higher number is better
Sounds EXACTLY like what I was looking for

Sounds great, but can't download!
Any other links?
great work!
am using this rom now and i like it!
works fast, after tweaks and all - very very nice
tried the 3.03 one - nice and fast but couldn't handle the cannot soft reset issue
i soft reset quite often to keep memory and all clean and neat
so didn't like having to pull my stylus to do that all the time esp when i notice the stylus holder getting a little looser...
then tried the vodafone one
everything was ok - but seemed to be laggy on some programs (visible on graphics and video)
then i got onto this hybrid! and must say i am really quite happy.
used ppchanger to set to 50mb but just read a post by tom_codon that it doesn't actually change the pp and it has to be done by XIP so not sure if that madeany difference...
Working now.
Any screenshots plz? Thanx
it works great, but has a MoDaCo thing on splash screen xD.. that sucks.. well maybe a splash screen flash can fix it..
well.. in general it works fine, it looks like the HTC stock rom and it has better performance than the other 2 "official" versions.
Reccommended (Y)
(( If you know how to put the original "smart mobility" plain text splash, PM me thanx ))
Any feedbacks with this rom ? How is battery draining ?

battery drain is very low. getting very good battery life with this rom
anyone have the atnt splash screen only? thanks.
Hi
I like this ROM as well, been good so far.
One oddity which I'm not sure if was the case on the stock Vodafone ROM, is when I've imported text messages from a backup these are not sorted correctly in the threaded SMS. For example all the ones I've sent are at the end and all the ones received are at the beginning, so they are not sorted from a backup and so are not threaded correctly. When new texts arrive these are okay and show as expected. This could be a problem for those who like to keep a history of texts and need to restore from a backup.
Regards
Phil
Seems to be working great so far on my ATT Tilt. TMobile subscriber. BUT, I need to get the CF back on, so I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to do this. Also, do you do anything to the bluetooth stack that should impr0ve performance over OEM?

You can use KaiserTweak... works great with me !
OK, new issue... the keyboard is not working exactly correctly with this ROM on my Tilt. The keys are remapped for the function combos (perhaps others, but have not noticed). I'll search for a solution, but if anyone can point me in the right direction...
use the tilt keyboard fix. u can find it in duttys place.
cheers
Got it! Worked great. Thanks. Now I'm readying for the .08 version of this ROM package.
Grateful for the efforts by all the posters here!

GPS Problems out of the box?

Whats up guys
Just got my hands on a new touch pro, after having the titan and its a great upgrade!
However, neither sprint telenav or google maps want to get a gps fix out of the box. I can't find a settings option for GPS, only external GPS devices.
Whats going on? Is this a problem with the touch pro? Am I going to be forced to flash ROMs just to make navi work? Or should I go to the store and grab a new one?
Thanks guys
Joe
BTW: ROM v. 1.03.651.4
you tried updating the "quickgps" in PROGRAM? Mine too (xperia) wasnt getting any fix, till i update the QuickGps prog.
If this is missing, which i doubt, am sure you can get a cab in this forum. Install and update. Hopefully should work.
if still prob, get it changed

we will wait for an expert and see
no opinions
we can use small piece of mirror for making video call or if it's not possible to make a call at least recieve video call...
so.. if someone places a video call to my HD2 I cannot receive the call?... I mean I had a nokia E51... no front camera... but still I was able to receive and make videocalls... for sending video I could choos a picture or the main camera...
it was possible with my tytn 2 that had no front camera
i used to use the back 3mp cam
i had an att tilt
hope some one makes it
I'll need to make Video calls to access my IP surveillance camera!! It wiil be great if HD2 has a software that can cater for that!! Now I just have to use my old Sony Ericson 3G phone to make surveillance video calls!! ....Bummer!!

i place a videocall to my hd2 with an 6500s..i answer on the hd2 and on the nokia it`s asking me if i want to send video, i choose yes and it`s disconnecting and nothing appears on the hd2 screen
with stock dialer when you are trying to make videocall to hd2 it`s says that the device doesn`t support this option or something like that
bummer... this is a big downfall
Is there a hard waee responseble for video call or all 3g devices should support videocalls
has any one tested the touch pro2 dialer
Possible that novelties don't be had on the video called? it is the only thing that this telephone misses
p.s. You excuse for my English
:BUMP:
anyone? come on smart guys, programmers, developers. give hd2 ability to video call..
I am looking forward for the development...
Is suprise that HD does have Video Call, but not HD2...
i also want it

Used Registry Editor to fix Bluetooth audio quality issue - \\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\ BitPool, set to 51
Thanks for making this thread!
First things I have done after installing the ROM were...
-Testing Internet Sharing (WiFi tethering) - works beautifully
-Used Registry Editor to fix Bluetooth audio quality issue - \\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings\BitPool, set to 51
Installed Metro Theme from Bazaar
So far, it works flawlessly! I haven't had an issue yet. I have facebook, twitter, exchange (corporate), and 2 Gmail accounts synchronized as well as my Live account. Thanks for all of the quality work DFT and mwang! Thanks to The Xev for his HSPL for Dummies tutorial guide.

Thanks! Flashing this ROM myself right now.
Do you have links to each of the tools you used for these items?
EDIT: Disregard! After I finished flashing, I found that the apps are already pre-installed with the ROM. Really nice so far.

Diag mode?
Does diagnostic mode work with this rom? I loaded it OK but when I dial ##634# it stays stuck on "loading"
This is a free phone I got from the Microsoft giveaway, I'd like to put it on Cricket if I can but I can't get it into diag mode.

that i have no idea lets see if someone else have an answer
As an FYI I did not try ##634# in the stock verizon mango rom the phone came with, so it may have nothing to do with the new rom. I'm playing with the device on wifi only but would like to get it on PST and put it on a non contract so I can play with it with CDMA as well, see if I want to jump from android to win mobile 7.
So maybe I should have asked this in another thread, but I will wait and see if anyone knows this answer here.
Thanks!

When send SMS with Chinese, others will receive"_______"
Use FileExplorer,Reinstall “ServiceTools_01.provXML” and “EmbeddedTool.provxml” in “windows” folder.
That didn't seem to change anything, it still hangs on loading field test.
Can someone with this ROM verify ##634# or ##3282# works for them?

My phone work with ##3282# but ##634# not work it hangs on field test loading ...
Thanks, mine hangs on field test loading with both (as well as a couple other codes that HTC has used, either they do nothing or they hang)
I guess when I have time I will go back to the stock rom and see if it fixes it, unless someone else has a better idea. I need to change prl's at the very least to get it off verizon and onto a carrier that I can do prepay with.
I wish I knew more about windows 7, I have a 6.1 sprint touch pro, but this is completely different. Android is a mess but at least I can QPST it.
Before getting started with my post, I BEG any possible cookers, PLEASE PLEASSEEEEE do not take mwangs rom and repackage/rerelease it as your own work. He's already royally pissed off at GoldC users for stealing his hard work and then them taking donations for it.

This seems to be an issue with Spark_W's drivers. No clue when we can expect a fix, but this issue seems present in the stock rom as well. Verizon/HTC will prob need to update this in a driver fix... and who knows if they will ever do another official update for our phone. GoldC users are in the same boat with updates as us, so I'm wondering how many shared issues they have (I think the SMS issue is one, but they are stuck on CDMA only mode, unlike us).
I'm guessing this issue wasn't caught my them because HTC/Verizon didn't test the phone enough with input other then English/Spanish.

No, this appears to be related to the usage of Cotulla's full unlock.
The only fix for this right now is to cook the rom without Cotulla's full unlock.. but in that case you wouldn't have full unlock. For now, just do any additional programming you need to do with stock rom. I will post some links to "recooked" stock roms I have created that will work with HSPL in another thread. *edit* You can find the HSPL stockish roms here. They are the same as stock, except no SPL/RADIO/Spanish.
As for switching to cricket, I'm not sure how easy it would be to flash a new PRL to it, since it isn't as simple as it was in WM6.5 phones using ##PRL. I think you may still be able to use QPST, but I think you need to boot the phone in diag/bootloader mode. I wrote a custom diag driver to do stuff like this (You'd need to uninstall Zune to make it work right. @[email protected]), and I know it allowed QPST to connect to the phone and read data, but I never tired updating the PRL.
Other known issues with this rom:
You CANNOT program with *228. mwang has confirmed this with me that this is an issue with him removing a driver, and it will be fixed in next rom he releases. Only fix for now is to program the phone before flashing DFT Freedom at this time. In short: Don't perform a factory reset with DFT Freedom for Verizon Trophy at this time! Otherwise you'll have to flash a different rom to program your phone successfully. (Without the driver required, if you attempt to program using this version of DFT Freedom for VZW Trophy, the phone will act like its programming, but will not get an authentication key, so you will get an error "We cannot currently authenticate your phone").
Some users have reported poor voice recondition. I can concur with this, but no fix so far. I'll have to try running a file compare on registry files to see if mwang tweaked any registry settings that might affect voice recondition and report it to him/yous peoples if I find anything. I don't have much free time anymore since I am employed again.
It also seems football released a new stock rom a few days ago. I'm guna go see what that's all about... maybe we'll get the SMS fix (a newer radio would be nice too) and a new official SYS (I won't hold my breath for that one!).
