ANDROID THE EASY WAY
NOW AVAILABLE!
This Process will NOT be quick, but it’s easy and runs great!
Takes about 1/2 hr to set up the first time. It's an All-In-One Flash - Includes Stripped WM, Android, and Compatible Radio.
Includes an AWESOME Android build, Desire Sense - BlueTopia v0.6, by cmylxgo.
FAST, STABLE, COOL as Heck! It is installed on top of my Super Ultra Lite ROM.
Booting into Android is controlled by My Android MortScript.
ROM is based on latest T-Mobile 3.14 with almost everything removed. Not really worth booting into this ROM as it's just used to load Haret to get Android going.
If you want to Flash this ROM then change the Android build to another, you may by replacing the Android Folders on your SD Card with your desired Build.
Please read all below before starting.
Download all files listed:
AutoFlash SuperSport Android BlueTopia 6.exe Grab All 4 Parts (MediaFire Link) Sorry so LARGE!! Only way to include everything. MediaFire allows Multiple downloads at a time. If you have a fast Connection, grab all 4 pieces at once.
Task29 provided by doloop.zip (Attached) If needed
HardSPL3 (Attached) If needed
Unzip Task 29 and HardSPL3.
Clean old Android and any Android helper folders OFF SD Card ie: Android, Media, FilesToBeDeleted, etc. For best results, backup your card, then re-format FAT32.
Be sure your SD Card is re-installed in your HD2.
Flash HardSPL3: Run HSPL3_PKG.exe, or be sure you’ve already done it in the past. Follow the instructions found HERE if you don’t know how. This will take about 3 mins.
Task29: Run Task29 provided by doloop.exe. This should be done before ANY Flash. If running Windows Vista or 7, you must Right Click and Run as Administrator. Be sure your phone is connected by USB before running and follow the instructions. It’s just like flashing a ROM. When it reaches 95%, press and HOLD the Volume Down button until it reboots into Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen). This will take about 2 mins.
Flash My ROM: Be sure your SD Card is installed in your HD2, then Flash your phone with my ROM. Be sure your phone is connected by USB then enter Bootloader Mode (Red, Green, Blue Screen) by Holding Down the Volume Down button while turning on phone. Run the file "AutoFlash_SuperSport_Android_BlueTopia_6.part1.exe". Follow the Instructions until your phone Reboots. This will take about 7 mins.
Allow windows to start up first time. This will take about 1 mins. DO NOT PRESS YES when prompted if you want to Boot into Android. That will come later. WARNING!!! DO NOT PRESS 'YES' YET! This will cause Android to NOT INSTALL! (If this happens, use the File Explorer to browse to the Windows Directory and Run the Cab "SuperSportAndroidBlueTopia6.cab". Be Sure to install it to your Storage Card, NOT Main Memory. Delete this CAB after installation completes.)
Android will now Silently Install to your SD Card. This will take about 4 minutes. Wait for the XDA UC Service End message and tap OK. YOU MUST WAIT FOR THIS. If it does not come up within about 5 mins, then something might have gone wrong. Flash Task29 again and start the ROM Flash over.
You can now Select Yes to the Window asking if you want to Boot into Android. (Future boots will ask this again. Just select YES to boot Android, or NO to stay in Windows.)
Android will now start up. You will see the Green hTC logo. Allow Android to set up the Data Space. This takes a LONG time! Be VERY Patient. Up to 10 mins the first time (Mine was 8 mins, Future boots after the first time boot quickly). It will sit on HTC logo for a LONG time, then blank screen, then final boot.
Future boots will now give you a prompt to allow Auto Boot into Android, or you can select to go into Windows if you are so inclined. You can also use Android-Ubuntu to change the Auto Boot settings to be quicker or slower, or boot into Windows if you prefer, although, there's not much there.
To boot back into Windows, Remove your SD Card and Reboot. To Flash another ROM, enter Bootloader - Hold down the Volume Down button while powering on your phone.
For my ROM WITH Android, Download above.
For those who just want the WM ROM Without Android Built in, Download Below.
This ROM has the following:
-Free RAM: 373.90MB WOW!!!
-Free Storage: 705.06 WOW
-Very Little left of Windows. It really is not usefull for anything except starting Android.
4 Flavors:
NO Radio NO BootScript - Best for those who already have an Android Compatible Radio and want to use their own Boot Program.
AutoFlash SuperSport Android Ready SuperUltraLite NO Radio NO BootScript.exe
With Radio NO BootScript - Best for those who still need the Radio, but want to use their own Boot Program.
AutoFlash SuperSport Android Ready SuperUltraLite w Radio NO BootScript.exe
NO Radio With BootScript - Best for those who have have an Android Compatible Radio but want to use my Simple "Yes/No" BootScript.
AutoFlash SuperSport Android Ready SuperUltraLite NO Radio w BootScript.exe
With Radio With BootScript - Best for those who need the Radio and Want to use my Simple "Yes/No" BootScript.
AutoFlash SuperSport Android Ready SuperUltraLite w Radio w BootScript.exe
To Do:
Create Cabs of future Android Updates that can easily be installed on top of old builds, or on top of my Android WM ROM.
Looking forward to it
BlueTopia is a nice choice.. Do you think you can post the winmo build?
And have you thought about using UC_NET instead? As you can see the progress bar during setup, might make it easier for some people that arent familiar with UC.. just a thought

I will look into it. Any idea if it can force install to SD Card? That's the trouble I have with XDA_UC, I don't understand it enough to know how to silent install to the SD Card. I'd love to have a progress bar too.
I will post the WinMo build when I have it working properly. There's an issue with the AutoBoot function that I think might be due to the ROM being SO Stripped.

Hmm.. I'm not sure actually, here's the thread for it. Maybe take a look at post 3 (portable commands) in that thread.
Here's a post from him on that topic, from a while ago though (July).
Really Dumb Noob Android Question
I have to use Outlook (corporate environment kind of thing...not Exchange). What is the best way to be able to synch Contacts and Appts. between Outlook and Android?
That is, so far, the only thing holding me back from giving Android a try. And this ROM appears to be a great way to try it out.
Thanks for any advice.
Can you please make a release of JUST the winmo rom? That way we can simply apply whatever android distro we wish to our SD card, and the download is smaller : D

As far as I know, there is not a way to sync using WMDC. It needs to be done using HTC Sync, or using your google account. To use Google, you can set up an email account as an Exchange Account. Set the Server as m.google.com and tell it to sync your email, contacts, and calendar. For some reason, tasks do not work, so don't check them. If you set up Outlook AND your Phone to use the same Google Exchange account, then things will sync wirelessly WITHOUT having to connect to USB. Be aware this will likely use a little more battery if you allow it to sync often.
To use HTC Sync, download it from HERE and install it on your PC. Your phone will need to be set to HTC sync when you connect it to USB.

Yes, when it is working properly, I'll post JUST the WinMo ROM. Currently, it's running just fine, I'm just having trouble getting it to AutoBoot when started.
Ok, I just added to the First Post a link for the WM ONLY ROM. This ROM does NOT include Android.
ROM Specs:
Free Ram - 373.90 MB WOW!!
Free Storage - 705.06 MB WOW
Includes Radio: 2.15.50.14
Download Size: 53.1 MB

Still touching up my All Inclusive Android ROM, Sorry for the Delay.
NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Please see First Post for Details.
Out of curiousity, is it still possible to run a winmo program since the android os is just an overlay? If so, how?
Also, I tried youtube and the video is horribly choppy. audio is fine but video is stop and go ... stop and go... is this a known issue?
Any soft reset shortcut?
other note: tried running angry birds and it doesnt work.

Actually Android is not overlay on top of Windows. Windows starts haret, then shuts down completely, only leaving Android running. The only way is to reboot, and not boot into Android.
My YouTube is really smooth, but that's over WiFi. Haven't tried over gprs.
No soft reset that I know of. Only holding power button and shutting down.
After trying to run AngryBirds the first time, you must reboot back into Android and run it again. It will run second time around.
PS: one thing I've noticed is that after a couple reboot, things seem to get smoother.
Unfortunately, Android isn't perfect on the HD2 yet, but it's getting better every day...
I had to format the card twice and it started working ... yay
Holding the end button with this android OS gives the option to reboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780525

That brings up a good point. If anyone wants, you can delete the Android off the SD Card and replace it with your favorite flavor. The Boot Script should still work, as long as you place the Android build into the folder Android with CLRCAD.exe and haret.exe in that same Android folder, not a sub folder.
awesome rom thank you,...runs very smoothley and first one where everything has worked!! as soon as funds come in you will be my first donation..
only problem is batterylife life and data speed i live in socal what radio will u reccomend im on tmobil network . and 2 youtube is very choppy unless i use wifi.

Please keep in mind that the Android Build is NOT mine. Please donate to cmylxgo as he is the one who put the Android build together. I cooked the WM ROM, added the Radio, added his Android ROM, and created the BootScript. I just wanted to come up with a way for people to try it that just worked, so I put it all together in one easy to flash package.
Yes, there are still some issues with running Android on WM, but it's slowly getting better. cmylxgo has mentioned a new Android Build coming up shortly. I'll see if I can add it to this thread when it's released.
I've heard about YouTube by a couple of you now. I don't know yet what that is. Not sure if it's My ROM, or the Android Build, but when I find out, I'll try to create a fix.
EDIT: The radio on the first post is the only one I've tried with Android. I'm on ATT, so not sure how that compares to you.
thanks for this simple guide.. *so simple, even a caveman can do it* noob question, how do i restore the phone to factory settings incase I need to send it in?

Hehe, I like that. To revert, you would need to flash the HardSPL back to 2.08 (Use HardSPL 3 and select the 2.08 version), then flash the Stock ROM back on. As far as Android goes, just delete it off the SD Card. My ROM simply copies Android from the ROM to the SD Card and sets up links.
Does the camera work in this one? I really want to ditch WinMo and go to Android, but I want to first be sure everything works. I have read in some other threads that camera support is not working, which seems like it would be a deal breaker for many people.

Yes, it does. That's a deal breaker for me too. I do have occasional data connection problems, but I'm almost always on WiFi, so it has not been a huge deal for me yet. It sounds like cmylxgo is working on the data issue along with other fixes with his Android Build. I will likely update this ROM when that happens. I'll also post instructions for those who do not want to flash the ROM again and just want to update their Android Build.
everything works perfectly, I just flashed it 3 days ago and I'm very pleased so far..... and belive me I've almost tried everything around here.... Thank you Super Sport to put all this togheter.

How long does the flashing take? Mines been running for almost an hour..
Pulled the plug while flashing..
Then it bricked.... But, it was unbricked in the next 5 mins. Have to try flashing all over again.
follow instructions in the How To Upgrade.txt provided in the rom folder.
How to install your new OS for wing, follow this and you cant be wrong: (But im not sure since this is for Wing )
1. Make a full backup, or only the data necessary to you on SD a card or PC via Windows Mobile Device Center, or other
backup programs you might have.
1.b. Either hard reset your device, or flash the official RUU for your device, so that you have a clean base to flash on to.
2. Connect to ActiveSync\Windows Mobile Device Center, and run the connect without syncing the device.
3. Put your device in flightmode,this is done in CommManager. (radio off) If someone call, or sms you during flash, you will have errors.
4. Copy ASerg_Policies.CAB to your device and install it, THEN SOFT RESET, I say again SOFT RESET.
5. Start !UPGRADE_ROM.bat and wait, there will show nothing on your phone display, so dont worry, its normal. AND do not
use your device in any way, to be sure that no errors will happen, wait for the command promt tell you that you have
to hard reset. (If you dont know to soft and/or hard reset, dont bother to run the upgrade untill you have learned how to use your phone.
6. you should now have your new updatet rom.
-If you run into problems, and device is not booting, run the official RUU FROM HTC to restore your phone.
-If You have error during flash, this often happens for unknown reason. you can wait out and proceed, sometimes the update works anyway.
-If it doesnt work, reflash the RUU, and try again.
Beta not usable with dopod c800
Flashed twice and bricked it twice....
At last!!!
I have been connecting here everyday in order to find this post and finally here it is!
downloaded and ready to install.
hi, thank's for your work... already using on mine herald.
i just have a noob question! how the heck do i get the cube (if theres one )?
I must say i like this rom. Fast, and seems stable in the first 15 minutes
I installed it on my Terra this morning, worked like a charm.
I haven't found any bug so far, but it seems you forgot to include HTC audio manager.

After long last, I've finally updated the WM6.1 Clean Developer Edition and have fixed up almost all the problems you guys had with the original.
Changes from original 1.0 version:
Portrait Camera now working
MMS 4.0 is included with basic MMS settings
Custom splash screen!
Some other bugs I can't remember...
User Customization 2.0 - You'll really like this if you have a microSD card!
Installation:
Installation is now completely automated. If you are currently running the official T-Mobile ROM, please run the CID Unlocker.exe that is included.
Once you are CID Unlocked, run the Windows Mobile 6.1.exe program.
Done!
If at any time you want to go back to the T-Mobile ROM because of an error flashing or whatever, you will need to turn your phone on in bootloader mode. To do this, hold down the camera button and then press and release the power button while still holding the camera button down. Your phone should go to a screen with red,green, and blue bars. Plug it in to your computer now and run the T-Mobile Update from their site.

Beautiful, I love for your work .
did you add rickwyatt fix for the interface
edit
after trying to download this 10 times already im kinda pist
upload it somwhare else it stops like half way
huh?
okay i must first apologize for my ignorance, as i am very new to this. first what is "CID unlocked"? Also, are there still bugs being worked out of this rom? i previously had a dash ( HTC Excalibur ) and used a 6.1 rom from an xda member and really liked it. T-mobile has not issued a release date for wm 6.1 and frankly i am sick of waiting! will this rom work the same as the previous rom i used for my dash? thank you ahead of time for any answers and help you may be able to provide me with.
Everything works perfect! The only thing I have not tried is mms but I don't mms often.
Thank you for all your hard work!

#BUGS

1.) To upgrade from Dev 1.0 to 1.1, I for some reason had to cid unlock. For some reason, every time I tried to flash the Juno, I kept getting an invalid certificate message.
2.) Microsoft's Getting Started App is missing.
3.) After LiveSearch is installed, when a user tries to exit the application they would encounter a missing resource error. (Note: This never occured in the 1.0 version. I'm currently googeling for a solution).
-----
That's all I could find. Otherwise, great ROM. I've noticed it works a bit faster then the 1.0 Rom, what changes did you make?
I also upgraded for dev1.0 to 1.1 and did not have to cid unlock the exe worked great
live search I have no problems with and get no error win exiting
getting started is missing and looked in the windows folder I did not see it there so I think he removed it but who needs it I did have a died shortcut in the all programs for it but after adding more programs to it it is gone
the battery on the settings slide still needs to be edited in the reg to open
still have to try User Customization
but all and all works great
hopefuly need4speed can make a cab to fix these bugs brcouse im kinda sick of flashing my phone
im also waiting for a mirror
ahhh victory
I had some bugs that didnt bother me so much on 1.0, so I am excited for an update.
And I will never get sick of flashing my phone MU HA HA HAhahaha!

Problem with install
Hi All
I have tried several times to follow the steps to upgrade to this Windows Mobile 6.1 using ND4SPD's file from both download sites. After running the unlock procedure, when I start the Windows Mobile 6.1.exe installation proceeds to just after the status bar comes up on the phone, Then, I get an error that the image file is corrupted. The phone reboots back to Windows Mobile 6 Standard.
What could the problem be?
Tim
What exactly does user customization 2.0 do?

Dose your phone turn white after running CIDunlocker.exe? Also u have to remove storage card and restart phone before anything.

I just tried without the memory card.
Yes it turns white. The unlock util reports success.
I reboot the phone, start the update util, the screen gets red green and blue bars.
At 2%, the update util shuts down with:
"ERROR [270]: Update Error"
"The image file is corrupted. Please check your update utility."
The phone then reboots.
So, what do you think ?
Tim
@tech_hardman: this will NOT run on the gene. It is specifically meant for the htc juno. If you try it, it might brick your phone.
@guitarkid6920: UC 2.0 basically allows you to have all of your settings, programs, etc installed automatically after the rom is installed so you don't have to work on it every time you flash a new rom.
@timtillman: Make sure that after your phone gets the app unlock that your phone restarts. Physically disconnect from your computer and wait for it to restart after the app unlock. It should work.

Sure thing. I'll update the post right now.
hi all, I just got my wife's old tilt. No software or ROMs have been updated on this device at all and I'm curious what updates anyone can recommend that I install.
I did read through the WIKI and it was hard to tell what is the most recent updates available. Nothing is really working incorrectly on the unit, I just want the newest, fastest software/rom etc installed.
is there a windows mobile update that I should install? I saw some references to touchflow 3d working on the tilt, is this worth installing?
I'm starting from square one here and am looking for some general info which is why I posted in this room as opposed to the software or rom rooms. Any info would be great. thanks!

The first thing you need to do is back up your phone. You can sync your or what I would do is use back up your data to your card. DO NOT USE SPRITE BACKUP THAT IS ON YOUR PHONE! I did this and could not get it to restore to my phone. Use PIM Backup. You can get the cab file by doing a search on the software thread.
I just upgrade my rom on my Tilt 8925 last week and I used build 23069 and I really like it so far. Make sure you also download the Jumpspl56,Jumpspl93 and Jumpspl94 file. You will have to add that to your phone first and I used the Jumpspl56 file. I did not have a problem with it.
Read the Wiki it will help so mucn and there is also YouTube videos on it. When looking up the information look up Kaiser. I also used this web site for help.

Good Luck
thanks Biloxigirl! do you know if I can put a new version of windows mobile on the device? I've read that some people have updated to 6.1 but do not want to update to 6.5 because it lacks good support for landscape mode?

It all depends what you want? You can flash any Kaiser ROM after Hard-SPL [Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs) , there are many 6.1 ROMs to choose from and even though M2D doesn't support landscape well it can be disabled via today settings, not sure what you mean about landscape support on 6.5 as Chome has full lanscape compatability.
Good luck

I upgraded from 6.0 to 6.1 with no problems. Now I have 6.5 and LOVE IT. Not sure what you are talking about landscape.....I have had no problems so far with anything in landscape.
Can you run 6.5 on the Tilt?
How much memory do you end up with?

yup, look in the rom dev forum.
when reading these steps from the tutorial, am I suposed to pull out the battery while the device is still powered on or should I turn it off first?
1. Copy JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe, JumpSPL1.93-KAIS.exe and JumpSPL1.94-KAIS.exe to your device memory (NOT STORAGE CARD)
2. Pull out the battery and reinsert it (this step IS important) *DONT turn phone back on yet*

Doesn't matter, the idea is to kill all processes. Either way will achieve the end result.
gotcha, thanks Denco
i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625200 and they figured out how to get it working. im new to the x1 and isntead of searching everything it would be easier just to ask
1. are there devs still working on the x1 and android?
2. is it possible to run android as a primary..is there a chance?
thanks. mods can delete after
forget it! it will never be any android rom ... All devs bought X10

that sucks..from reading a few threads it looked like it was going somewhere
Come on people, let's have hope. I think that there will be an android rom soon.

I agree, also, how does it matter if its a ROM...what matters is that the phone heating/battery eating issue and Wifi...
In my case, i want the GPRS to be used for the weather..but that too isnt happening...i can use GPRS in the internet browser, but NOT in the weather update and Marketplace and app store....is there a way i can get this to work..
My understanding is that we cannot currently boot from NAND as there is no code to start the LCD panel, thus the need to start with HaRET.
A quick look in the the Blackstone forum suggests they won't do it until all functions (gps camera etc) are fully working.
in current state there is no point to run droid as primary system. battery runs out in few hours and functionality lefts much to be desired. do not let excitement to get you, first impression maybe good but whole thing is not so usable just jet. play whit it some days and you see it yourself.
well,camera and gps in android cannot work under most htc devices.so,if just for fun,these are not big problems.as for the heat,if in nand,it may not as hot as it is when all needed have to be found in sdcard,and probably faster.i think what is most important is that the chefs have had x10 and dont pay much attention to xperiod.
It seems that there is a WMKernel that is only 5MB large,If it works,Android may work in ROM,I ever tried to place and run it in rom,and finally failed because there will be a img file that contains files of Android will be storaged,a file about 256 MB ,For Orginall rom,The ROM space if not enough
howerver,I'll have hope about it

so basically itll load the windows kernel (to recognize all the hardware) and then straight away get into the android kernel THROUGH wm kernel without installing the full wm OS?
that seems almost perfect because we wouldnt have to rely on the SD card as much..as long as we can have a stable android build that doesnt destroy the battery
I think putting android on flash is real ROM and nothing else.
I can't see point in having ROM that will just run haret from SD card. Then i rather just have WinMobile and launch haret manually.
ive done a lot of research and still cant find a solution. im sort of a newb, heres the problem my wifes TP2 when she turns it off and turns it back on the phone gets stuck on bootloadr screen, tried to hard reset but wont do anything. but when i plug it with usb to my laptop if i soft reset it will boot up.I read that alot of people had the same problem and just had to install a coocked rom, well i did i installed energys rom but it still had the same issue. Now its back to stock rom. any info on how to fix this is appreciated and thnx in advance.
Get it replaced under warranty
if you were able to flash a cooked rom, you must have installed hard-spl.
when did you do this, after the problem appeared to be able to flash the energy rom, or before? maybe this could be the problem...

well the first time her phone did it i googled the problem and it brought me here, a thread that said stuck at bootloader screen and their solution was flashin a cooked rom. well it got the phone to boot after i did that but every time if she turns it off and back on it gets sutck at the tri color screen. i installed hard spl when i was flashin rom.
here is a thread on the subject already.[/QUOTE]yea been at that thread also,but my problem is that when i turn the phone off and when i turn it back on it wont boot up it just gets stuck there, like i stated above i already flashed hard spl and flashed a energy rom but it still does the same thing. i flashed the phone back to the original rom but is still gets stuck, the phone works as long as she dont turn it off but after awhile her ram goes up to like 80 so i have to turn it off, and to turn it back on i have to use my laptop. and thanx for the help guys i really appreciate it. and phone dont have warranty i bought it on craigslist.
Since it's going to the tri-color bootloader screen, seeing as normally to get to that screen you would hold volume down on boot, have you checked inside the back of the case to make sure there isn't dirt/debris jamming the volume down button? If the volume adjusts normally once you do get it booted, that may not be it, or maybe it's just a short in the key.
Also, both the stock ROM and energy ROMs are bad about eating ram, and need to be rebooted regularly. Maybe try one of the ROMs that doesn't, like a Jackos rom, which you can leave running for days without a reset. Might not solve your problem, but might at least take some of the bother out of it.

I take it you haven't used the latest NRG ROM. Mine runs for several days.

You've got me, there. The last energy rom I tried was a little bit ago, and was a Maxsense version at that. Even still, it soundly failed my Opera Mobile 10 test on a clean flash off of a fresh boot (it would autokill OM 10 to free up ram without any other apps open). Any rom that does that goes straight into the bin as far as I'm concerned.
I have been meaning to drop one of the more recent builds on to see if that was just a bad experience. Maybe try one of the titanium versions, just to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake. Either way, this has now gotten at least a bit off topic. =P

yea i have the sep 18 nrg rom on mine wich now runs very good. well after a couple reboots with the phone plugged to my laptop, i unplluged it and tried a soft reset and thank god it booted normal, i then powered the phone off and turnd it back on and it worked. dont know what the problem was but i appreciate everyones help.
There is different things that you can do to try and resolve your problem. Start by finding a rom that you would like to install on your phone and save the file to your SD Card. FL5 Mentioned Jacko's rom and I swear by it as well. I run the showlite version modified to my liking and still have on average about 80 mbs of ram open.
2nd thing to do would be a Task 29 which will pretty much formats your phone. This is important to do because if there is any "debris' left over from any of the roms you have installed, this will take care of that. "Debris" at times cause issues that you cannot pinpoint and interfere with the rom that is currently installed. It is also important that you do this step second because once you do a Task 29 you will not be able to flash through USB. At least, I have not been able to do so. I flash from my SD Card. You can get Task 29 here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649191
Once you do that, flash your rom from your SD Card by following the directions here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Hopefully this fixes your problem. If it doesn't, you don't have to soft reset to free up ram. I use software called "cleanram" and usually run it on level 3 which means that it thoroughly finds processes taking up ram and reclaims it. You can also schedule a daily, weekly, hourly clean under the settings menu. You can find that here-->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514333
Best of luck.
Oooooooooooo yeah! Task 29 is absolute magic. Completely wipes your NAND before a flash to remove the chance of old ghost files from past ROMs jacking up your system. If you've followed any of the flashing tutorials on the board then you've definitely been doing this step, and thus this shouldn't have been your problem. Not everyone has problems if they skip it, but all sorts of seeminly otherwise random problems can pop up otherwise.

Eh ? I don't know what's going wrong for you, but that's completely untrue. After running task29, you need to unplug the phone from the PC, put the phone into the bootloader (e.g. press reset while holding down the Volume Down button), wait for it to come up and say "Serial" at the bottom, then plug it back in and it should say "USB". Then you can flash via USB (which is safer than flashing from SD card, since it does more checking).

The 20 Sep ROMs have the option of using quick menu. With that option, even with Sense 2.5 and CHT (a RAM hog), I have 88 Mb available on a normal basis. I don't use Opera 10 (also a RAM hog), but I think it would work with the new ROM.
You have to manually select the Quickmenu option.
well the problem with her phone is fixed. but now my hardware keys stay on dim but they stay on, im gonna try doin task 29 and reflashing a rom see if that takes care of my issue.
Well just for future references, I had all of the above problems and tried all of them. Issue did not go away until I did the following steps..:
Run Task 29
Flash new ROM (Issue still exist)
Flash New Radio (Issue still exist)
Reflashed Hard-SPL (This somehow fixed the issue....)
