Mod's For HTC HD2

evolutionqy7

Right since the other HD2 thread is kinda in general about the phone thought id start one for little usefull mods and apps


Ill add these as i test them on my own handset, so be patient feel free to post your findings and ill add them to the list or request something and me or some one else might help you find it


Register and browse if you cant find anything here you might find something there -> XDA-Developers. Im only adding what i have tested making sure it works and causes no problems


(not to violate any developers right's ill just add links to their apps and tweaks to give them credit i didnt create any of these apps or mods or take owndership for them)


also for more the link brings you to the source of it where you can find more info about the app


most apps need .Net Compact Framework 3.5 get it here


Backing Up your device is not neccessary but incase you would need to hard reset your device i recommend to do so.


(Modding your HD2 wont damage it, but do it at your own risk)

I really need something to lock the screen, I did use s2u2 before but that locked out marketplace, tried smartlock which is pants. any other ideas?

evolutionqy7

u mean for general screen lock or while calling? Cookies home tab has a few lock screens. did you try that? has a s2u2 type one and hd2 mini one and normal manilla one only with diff layout?

what exactly is wrong with the stock one for u?

if i know what you need exactly might be easier to help

Cookies Hometab Link

angel01

It is mainly for during calls, I am sick to death off things being hit off during calls and either cutting someone off or hitting buttons.

I think I will have to go the S2U2 route and forget about marketplace The phone doesn't lock right now during calls at all.

evolutionqy7

did you try BsB Tweaks?

i have a link above...there's a function on it to lock during calls that might help

Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably
The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:
HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms
11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0

bsb tweaks 1.6 does the same thing only by a click of the button though...theres an option to enable wifi n

u want it? its all there...

I finally got froyo 2.2 on my hd2 but I have to say that the android browser isn't great, it seems quite jumpy. It's no where near as smooth as opera mobile 10 winmo so I'm back using it!

evolutionqy7

did u try sense builds? their far more stable...i tried all the froyo builds out there and everything just crashes for me :S but no problems with sense.

browser wise its not great but i didnt have any problems with it...remember because due to the fact the power management isnt finished on android CPU isnt always working right so loading up all that flash material slows ur browser down and might make it laggy...also the Wifi 3G issues on the android might make it seem slow...

a new build of Desire 2.2 is meant to be coming soon...meant to be increased kernel size with around 10 sec boot and massive speed and stability boost...think darkstone is releasing it.

Ever got annoyed with horrible speaker and headphone sound quality?

Well heres your answer SRS WOW HD

Tried this a while ago and it gave superb sound quality after that...the speaker sound quality is what you would expect now and headphone quality is great too

It does reduce the loudness of the speaker but feck it what good is the sound if it makes your ears bleed

When you go into settings just set the present for WOWbass and it will work like a charm

Download Ver. 0.3 CobaltController

Download Ver. 0.7 CobaltController

Notes you need .NetCF 3.5 to make it work (you can get it HERE)

As the version name suggest its still not a final release so expect maybe some bug's or w/e though i haven't had any problems with it
