New User - HTC HD2

Hey all.... I'm new to the forums and am looking to get basic info and helpful tips with my new phone. I recently purchased the Tmobile - HTC HD2 - kinda dissapointed because after not looking to much into it I realized its not android compatible which kinda sux... was looking forward to the apps and such.... but anyways, I've been looking into the different stuffs you guys have found for this phone and was wondering if you could point in the direction of some good beginner threads explaining how to access and unlock different things on this phone... any helpful tips or threads would be great. Thanks guys...

Welcome to forums
After you tweak and flash with an XDA custom ROM you won´t need/want Android
Have a look on the Wiki and in Leo section, where you can find all you need to have fun with your HTC device!
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!

Actually, the Leo section is for a different version of the HD2 (Eurpoean).
You need to go to the Tmobile HD2 section, located here

i dont get it..why people look at htc hd 2 and they like ooh i want one. so they bought an htc hd 2 then hate it. thats really pathetic. yes flash a rom! energy is stable and nice.
before do flash a rom, hardspl then flash a task29 and flash the enegry rom. if u like it, then choose radio which is best for ur location and battery life.
oh yea, IPHONE SUCKS!

[Q] T-Mobile Htc Sensation 4g Noob Questions.

Forgive me please.. My name is Jeff and I am a newb..
I have had iPhones for 4 years and done my best to jailbreak unlock and liberate as many devices as I could from Steve Jobs grasp.. But alas those days are over.. and I have made the switch to Android.. A little late to the game.. I know..
I have rooted a bunch of nook colors to flash Cyanogen and helped a guy with a G2x again to root and install cyanogen. So I do have a little experience but that is were it stops.
So now that I have made you read that brief introduction here is my amazingly noobish question that the flaming of which will probably bring joy to many people here. So I am willing to take one for the team for your entertainment.
Question 1. Will the noobproof method of s-off, rooting, Installing ClockWork, and gaining SuperCID work on my device and will the 4g radio still function as there is a tower within a good quarterbacks throwing range of my house.
Question 2. I ask because I cannot find a definitive answer. What is the best way to uninstall all the sense crap and the bloatware on this phone.
I would like to add that this is my first android phone and I am loving it. I was a little worried switching from iPhone.. yeah yeah i know.. But now that i have there's no looking back.
If the guides exist to do what i want and I am just blind to not have found them feel free to just post links and not waste your time re posting them.
Thank you again for your time and assistance.. or for the flaming and the countless sleepless hours of trying to sort thru the forums to find the already answered threads that may come.
ps Ordered my anker 1900mah battery should be here tuesday.. wait.. wrong thread.
Feel free to reply to me on google+ Just Look for Jeff DeVeau

Hey, I'm coming from the iWorld as well. I've only had my Sensation 4G for a week but I've been flashing ROM's the whole time lol. So, to Q1- Yes, 4G works great after rooting and or using a custom ROM. Q2- The cleanest way IMO to do this is just install a custom ROM that has all the bloatware your looking for removed already. You can delete it yourself, or freeze the apps too, but there are more benefits to custom ROM's besides that. EVERYTHING can be optimized by the ROM chef ;-) There are more than 25 ROMS available so far... Pick your poison There are also different radio ROM's that users have said can increase 4G speeds in conjunction with certain system ROM's... Have fun!

I just got mine 2 days ago.. I cant help but to want to tinker with this thing.
Any experiences you have had with specific Rom / Radio combinations I would love to hear.. Im pulling about 6-8mbps down pretty consistently but of course... the faster the better right?
Can't wait for Cyanogen for the Sensation.. I love it on my nook
Another Question (or two)... If I plan on trying different Roms I just S-off, install Clockwork and Root right?
Do I need SuperCID? I just leave s-off right?

Just wanted to say.. S-Off'd and installed HD Revolution and no sense on my two htc sensations.. Both are running great with adw launcher.
Question..
the issues I have are that the live wallpaper keeps going back to the default, sometimes when I install a app it doesn't show up in the app drawer till iI reboot, and the 4g logo is showing up as H.
Any solutions for these issues?

Hello from new mytouch4g user.

Hello to everyone. Just got my touch...took forever from wirefly.com and well its nice to have moved up from previous phone...Mytouch 3g obviously. Just a formal hello to fellow tough4g users. I am wanting to right away root my phone but in a head storm about wireflies policies. There very confusing.

If you looking for a rom, I'd check out mexdroid.....oh and if you want to make your mytouch 4g look better grab a dime or penny and rub the edge of it against the battery cover, no it wont scratch it, it'll scratch off the plastic vinyl and you'll see once your done the battery cover is like a polished metal....looks really nice....there's about here on the mytouch 4g forums with pictures.....I just did mine and whished I did it sooner

if you decide to root your phone , you should considered install virtuous Unity 2.37 (www.virtuousroms.com) what the mytouch series comes with is a sort of sense-hybrid, virtuous unity gives you that real sense feeling , with a large variety of customizations (themes etc.) that you can add plus an incredible Ui , very simple to use , just plainly one of the greatest roms out there

Wow. Thanks all for the welcomes and advice. Since I have a little more assurance about rooting while under wireflys little 181 day policy I am def going to. I am very very familiar as I had prior a mytouch3g and loved that phone to death. But it was time to get with the big dogs. I was...like when I first rooted going to go cm just to know I was good (my way of assuring I know what I am doing as its an easy rom to root to.) But I am just going to go head strong. So thanks all for the help and ideas.

OK I have searched but a little stumped so MY questions go here.
1. Where would I find the guide to downgrading my rom as I am on the stock 2.3.4
2. With being stock how would I check the eMMC Chip? I would like to know before I even attempt to root.
3. Well wild opinion. Visionary or Gfree?

Good to go an everything I am rooted and have just the CM 7 rom running the stable no nightlies or anything. I noticed I guess I have the bad eMMC chip but I am still covered under wireflys 30 day. So really I flash but very seldom very very seldom But on the eMMC forums I guess a little fear has been put into my head. Oh well. the world keeps spinning.

Bad emmc and screen here (there is a good screen and crappy one) and a flash addict. Usually don't keep a rom for more than a week. Had this phone an hour before I said screw it and rooted. I got a g1 as a backup if necc... Lol anyways, I tried cm7, battery life was amazing, super fast, but felt like it didn't fit the phone right. So I tried unity. Orgasm. Haven't flashed anything since. hacked the genius button back and got swype beta going. Perfect. Starting to get that itch though...

Give MIUI with Demonspeed kernel a shot too. Pretty much fully baked. Wouldn't require too much tinkering to get things going. Pretty much everything works right out of the box.
Thanks

Hi all.. new to this forum

Hi guys,
Had my G2x since it came out and I love it so far. I finally decided to root back in mid september and I don't know why I didn't earlier. The phone is so much better. I learned alot so far from this site. thanks all..
I'm using Weapon g2x rom and its the best one I tried so far. I used MIUI for a while but had too many problems with data and wifi. But I do like all those lockscreens it offer. specially the sensation 4g one. Not sure why I like that one so much.
Note: If this belongs somewhere else for newbies, I'm sorry.

You posted in exactly the right place
Good choice on rooting too, I always like to hear of somebody who's come around to messing with their phones, as long as they're nice about it.

Yeah messing with the phone is the best part of using it

How to Breathe New Life into your inherited myTouch 4g.

Are you about to inherit a myTouch 4g from one of your (relatives, friends, random hobo on the street)? Well then this thread it for you! Go ahead, talk about ways to update Android, custom ROM flashing, and just general tweaking!
One way to bring a 2-year old myTouch back from the dead is to flash a custom ROM onto it. ROMs range from the speed-increasing ones to even ROMs that update your myTouch to Jelly Bean, the latest version of Android. For example, here's a ROM by 0.0 that ports Codename Android to the myTouch 4g and updates it to our favorite colorful confection. The link to the original thread is below:
0.0's myTouch 4g Jelly Bean Port:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852078
So, what clever myTouch 4g tips have YOU come up with? I bet that if we gather enough cool tips, all the people who get new phones and then look for ways to somehow reuse their myTouch (Recycling is good! ) will get referred to this thread!
-Adam
P.S If you have home screens that you would like to share, feel free to post them!

Ummm what?

BTW, thanks for the Noob Guide you put up for the myTouch 4g! I personally am about to get a myTouch from my friend whose contract is ending November 14, and your guide helped me a lot with figuring out whether to root or not!

Lifehacker has a REALLY awesome homepage feed, i can't seem to find it though...

From day one there was a reason for me to root mine. At this point there is absolutely no reason not to root your My Touch 4g. Even after 2 years of this device being out, there are still updated ROMS coming out for it ... Just today Viper Team came out with Viper Touch which is a sense 4.1 not to mention that there is already a huge collection of ROMS for the phone and honestly the DEVs for this phone and flat awesome ... Personal thanks to you guys for everything you do!!!
Seriously this phone will not die and the Devs have proven that they wont let it. It has been a solid phone.

I completely agree. The myTouch is a great phone and I believe it will soldier on, getting newer and newer versions of Android. Not only that, but it really doesn't have bad specs. I personally got lucky with my inherited one because it has the good screen and the good eMMC chip. ?
