Hi all,

add me:

hairulez/RM2850/PDA Expert/26-Nov-2009/1.48.707.2(71294)WWE
Anyway, how we want to check running programs (in background)?

u can go to SETTINGS > OTHER > TASK MANAGER

quite not convenient though i wished i could have put it on my Today Screen... anyway there's a cab where u can install the old task manager

the battery drop so fast , last night i'll charge for 8 hours , today till now just received around 10 calls and few sms , drop to 66% , doubt izit can last for 2 days ??

I have been testing various cooked roms over the last few days - Topix, Xanny Tech, Duttys, Miri and 135VY. I noted for all these cooked roms, I have gain additional free storage memory ranging from 50 MB to 80 MB !!! Just goes to shows how much "junk" and unnecessary files are builtin the original official roms. All the roms have a common feature - bootup and response time is way much better and screen sensitivy is better too. I'd highly recommend those who are willing to go up another step to tweak their HD2 should try it. Rom upgrade is very simple - just download the SSPL file :

I'd say this is the EASIEST SPL process I'd have use ( having tinkering with roms of HTC HD, TP2, TP, 3600i , Dopd U1000 etc ).

Then choose which rom you'd like - go thro their features/users feedbacks etc :

Lastly you can customize your HD2 look using a large variety of tools :

You can download the Asian official rom  ( I assume you bought in Msia ) here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...=577717&page=21 at post#203.
Other rom versions just search around this weblink at the front pages

Yesterday HSPL was released http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433; with it you can now flash new radio. The HSPL process is also very easy

This morning I use HSPL to flash the Turkish rom ( so far is only official rom with latest radio 2.06) ; then I continue to  reflash the Topix cooked rom. So my HD2 is now on Topix 1.1.2 and radio 2.06
You need to download first Leo custom RUU to flash rom after the hard SPL is done : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575524

Download from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598935

Flashing is easy - just follow the steps , pretty straight forward

Precautions : REMEMBER to take out SIM card and micro SD card to avoid motherboard kena fried. It happen to me before one time in my previous Dopod U1000 ; that time I was upgrading official rom - so was able to claim warranty and HTC Spore replace the motherboard free of charge

For the HD or any others - you must restore back the SPL and also radio ( if is changed )  not only the original rom. First thing SIS or any authorised dealer do is go to bootloader mode ( tricolor screen )  to check the SPL version. Many people forget to do this step and think by restoring back the original rom is good enough. I have help 2 friends claim warranty by restoring back the stock SPL and stock rom - SIS cannot detect there is a rom change before. And also make sure you are restoring back the actual rom not any other official rom ; so before you do any rom cooking write down the original rom version and download a copy of first for possible restoration purposes

Battery life seems to be very poor for me. I'm not really a heavy user, prolly 4-5 short calls, two dozen or so SMS, a few Youtube clips and some Facebook. Battery lasted around 12-13 hours only for me
