Going Back to desire HD?! Custom roms on Telus? - Desire HD General

Long story short, I had the uk desire HD and loved it. My only complaint was the washed out photos and 2g service...(rogers)
But now Telus has launched their new hspa network in winnipeg.... so I could have it again in its full glory.....
I am on my phone right now (2g) so I can't research much...
How are the latest roms and kernels?
Any gingerbread ports yet?
Thx in advance

The Telus device appears to have different audio chipset, so current custom ROM's are resulting in the loss of sound to your device, which being a phone is currently a bit of a show stopper bug

whoa, this is horrible news.... and lame all at the same time.... so no one has a telus device, working properly? Sounds like a simple driver tweak, but I am no developer....
I was about to flash my dhd tonight, and it was one of the main reasons I picked it over the iphone 4..... this could be a short lived purchase.
Also, is it ALL sound? The handset won't even work? /cries

If you look through the "no sound" thread you will see a fellow member wrote a new kernel allowing you to use different roms. Im about to try revolution hd myself right now.
Is that you kakarot from Redflag? you and your phones
Or if you want to stick with stock for now without any other kernels, you can downgrade using the "downgrade from 1.8x/1.72" thread and make a gold card and go to town. Then search for the "randroid" telus rooted 1.84 rom.

ahahha, yes it is me.... lol, my phone issue is getting much worse it seems... as I now have 2 nice phones on 2 different companies....
are they "specific" roms only that have this fix? any links appreciated. thx again....
I am not a big fan of stock, I like to root/unlock/flash/custom/kernels... I had the desire hd uk version, but got tired of 2g.... thought I would do the telus one because of the new hspa network (which so far, the upload is amazing, but download is pretty darn average).
I think I will pm u

search for the "raidroid telus rom" and use that one for now. You can use the revolution rom and use the Telus kernel.
Trust me, it works with either of them. Until the source gets released (prob next week) thats all we have for now (which is quite a bit for a new phone)
Im rooted and unlocked on Rogers.

Yea, Thx. I tried it but the sound was horrible....so now I am on the stock one.... I need more flashing, Hahaha..... I'm on tells but my rogers works as well.

Has anyone had a problem where after flashing your telus sim could not connect to the thelus network?
i have rooted and s-off and eng s-off. downgraded worked fine obviously. had the no sound problem but telus sim still worked. after flashing to a different ROM my telus sim no longer works in my DHD. seems to work with rogers and bell though. my sim also works in other DHD's but not mine.
any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] Milestone 2 that works on UTMS/HSDPA 850/1900 and other basic questions

Hi,
I am currently a Milestone (running CM7) owner and am looking to transition to a faster more modern phone.
I don't like the "feel" of the Desire Z and REALLY need a slide out keyboard.
Here go a few "basic" questions that am hoping the regulars here can answer.
1)
Has anybody heard of plans for a MS2 that works on the 850/1900 3G+ bands typically used by ATT/Rogers/Telus/Bell in North America (and a few other providers around the world. I would even accept rumors at this point...
I don't want to end up with EDGE connectivity on an imported phone.
2)
What is the state of ROMs and Devs for this phone. I could not find much in the dev section. Is anything available? Is anything secretly in the works?
3) Are people happy with the "feel" and build quality of the phone? I am pretty rough on my devices so I need something solid (Gorilla glass and solid keyboard are NECESSARY).
Thanks
1. I think ppl in Brazil are on 850/1900 3G+ type bands and they are able to use 3G on this phone, so I believe the answer should be yes.
Though some1 from that region (or some1 using this phone in US) can confirm..
2. There is one custom ROM right now: Argen2Stone by santiemanuel. You can check about it in dev section. mikevhl and owain are trying to build another ROM. Plus we had some initial interest from Angdroid for Fission but haven't had any updates from him of late.
3. I'm pretty happy with the build quality of the phone (it ain't light though, but then thats what makes the feel solid and sturdy). There are no scratches on my phone screen till now and I have been using it for almost four months and I don't use any covers for it.
Hope thats of some use..

That was of great use. Thanks.
I will check out the local carriers in brazil and am greatly reassured about build quality. My MS1 is heavy but, like you said, that is the reason i love it.

Plus there is a baseband switcher app (i.e. if you are planning to purchase the phone from say Europe) which switches the baseband from 900/1800 to 850/1900 and vice versa.
It is available on this forum in the dev section as well.

Really? Are you certain what this app does? To my knowlege, motorola does not include the hardware to do this, except on PRO versions of phones. On the Milestone 1, such apps are used to switch euro roms to north american baseband...but not euro phones to north american 3g.
But my Q9h pro used to work in this way, so i will take a look. Thxx for the tip.

I believe it won't work with 3G on T-mobile.. That uses 1700 base AWS for GSM. The baseband app only switches between 900/1800 and 850/1900.. Those are the radios that Milestone 2 has I guess..
Thats the extent of my knowledge.
This is pretty sweet if true. I could not find the app in the dev section, but i am now on vacation and have limited time for research.
I dont need tmo...just something thhat gives me 3g or more on ATT and Rogers.

Great news! Australian HTC Desire HD owners are getting an update to Gingerbread (Android 2.3) starting from today. Over the next few weeks, your handsets will receive a notification inviting you to update the phone software. We recommend connecting to a WiFi network to download the update. Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy Gingerbread.

I upgraded with the RUU a couple of weeks ago, but it's good to see everyone else is finally getting it.
Well after a some testing it seems that the update from vodafone aus also has the poor wifi connectivity bug.
I have also noticed that the dialer seems to be using quite a bit more battery usage than before the update. it seems vodafone have put some of their crap-ware in the dialer package and that is causing the problem.
Hows everyone else's update experience going?

Battery life and the absence of bloatware are two reasons why I switched to CyanogenMod 7. (As well as the extraordinary wait for the update to 2.3.)
If your phone is rooted you can flash a new radio and RIL to get better wifi connectivity (and 3G/HSPA). If you're interested, these are available in the DHD Development forum.
I now get 3-4 days from a single charge. I hope I don't need warranty because it's voided...
I've been using custom ROMs soon after getting my phone, I wonder do I need to revert back to Vodafone AU ROM to receive the update?
Ya updated mine yesterday (3 Australia) but sad that it don't come with Sense 3.0 ...

Which RUU did you use? I've been asking Vodafone if they have one to flash.
I actually have been trying to install but I keep getting an error when it re-starts for the installation process. Gets about a 1/4 way then I get a red triangle with an exclamation point in the centre...
Any pointers or suggestions?

New to Android

Hi all! Long time ago my friend got the HTC HD2 and he told me about chaging to Android and I be able to using a Gingerbread version (can't recall who made it). After fiding that this device use flash player I decide to get rid of my old Iphone and get a HD2 myself but when I search for the build I couldnt find it, instead I find the Stock Desire NAND ROM which I love it. After doing some reading on the forums I found out that version is from 2010 so I been searching for a new one but they look different (I bet mods) and also none have 3G data.
What im asking if somebody could point to a stock Desire ROM or Desire S that have 3G data and dunno if possible but be able to buy stuff off market because when I try to buy something I get an error. Thanks in advance.
Pretty much any ROM you see on the nand roms page supports 3g data and will let you download paid apps, just choose your favourite!

Tytung's gingerbread ROM is a but buggy
Thanks all for the help but I still dont get any progress, I play with all settings and stuck on EDGE. Im using a GoPhone sim card from AT&T and I know works since on the other phone goes to 3G instantly when home (other places I go back to E)

Since laszlo is based on cm6 would this also work on a cm6 ROM? I am running the last cm6 nightly which I like a lot.

might work would only be build.prop remove and replace it with the CM6 and add the necessary information to the rom build.prop CM6. and remember the wifi-calling is only for T-mobile user
Wow, thanks a million! I was desperate to get wifi calling on my G1 because I live in a half-basement apartment, so my signal is pretty much useless. I switched to Froyo by Lazlo from straight CM6 because the latter was being laggy anyway. That took some doing, but once I got that all straightened out, I flashed your zip, opened up the app, and flipped the switch. Bam! Wifi calling!
I don't know who is behind building this, but thanks for pointing me to it and recommending Froyo/Lazlo. You made my night.

Testing this now. I hope this work. It will help me TONS!
This is the best thing to happen to my G1 since I put Lazso on it. You have done a Great Job with this !!!!!
I have used this all day long on 10 calls and everyone has said the calls are clear. Also it works great with my bluetooth!!!!
I am sending this link to everyone I know that has a G1.
NOTE: if this thread was in the developement it would get alot more exposure!!!
thanks
Thank you for this. Works almost perfectly, but theres one problem.
After flashing this it causes roaming and 3g not to work.
I go to wireless settings>mobile networks>Network operators
Then get error searching for network.
Flashing laszlo 5.2 fixes the problem, but then wifi calling doesnt work.
Can someone help me? I really want wifi calling and being able to search for networks to work.
Anyone else get this to work with other roms? It causes the wifi to stop working on any other rom besides laszlo.

what rom can we use for 3g version ?

Hi there m8´s...
I have now edited this and added the answers to my questions...
Btw:
I have the 3G device...
And I am not using 3G or gsm at all...
Question:
Can i then without any problem use the "WiFi only" roms ??
Answer:
Yes, you can use the roms and kernals for the WiFi model (7510) on your 3g device (7500)...
You WILL loose 3g and gsm in the process...
- at least until you flash a 7500 kernal and ROM again...
Question:
Do i have to use the 3G versions for my device ??
Answer:
Only IF you use 3g or gsm, if not then go ahead and flash WiFi only on your device...
I think it should work.
I have seen a guy who accidentally (from my impressions) applied 3g only rom/kernel and that disabled 3g but i think the rest was ok.
I whould give it a try - if you have problems you can go back to the stock rom.
NEVER EVER take advise from people who just "think" they know. They are just guessing and really have no idea.
It is not recommend to flash any 3rd party ROM onto the Galaxy Tab 10. None of them are as stable or reliable as the stock ROM. It is recommended to avoid them.

Do as he says, never take his advise cause he thinks he knows something.
If you not caring about 3G support, I recommend checking out Tasks ROM, the last 5-6 pages talk about exactly what your looking for.

See the last few pages of that thread. ROM is running GREAT on my 3G tab, and is overclocked with pershoot kernel. Just follow my instructions exactly and be sure to flash the proper kernel if you wanna overclock!
You WILL lose3G though.

If you're not using 3G, flashing the wifi only roms should work for you.
And I say thats no problem. You can simply use it without being afraid.
Just gonna lose 3G ability.
I have now a WiFi only rom in my 3G device, and it is working great...
NO PROBLEMS AT ALL...
And now i also use the 1.4ghz 7510 kernal...
It is working great...
