i just got my touch pro 2, it was used, but it was still new
it still even has the original plastic on the screen.
ever since ive had the phone though, everything on it is really really slow.
opening up a text, sending a text, going back to the home screen, opening up opera, clicking on the notification tab. EVERYTHING is really slow, or has some kind of lag to it. Why is this happening? What can i do to fix it?
This is really bothering me, and im about to trade for another phone because i cant take it. It takes me 5 minutes to send a text message, after i hit the send button.
ANY help is appreciated, thanks!!
First thing you want to check is which ROM is running on the device. Is it stock or a cooked ROM. Which version TP2 do you have? is there a carrier logo on it? The more information you can provide about the hardware/software on the device the better we can help you.
its the stock ROM. Original T-Mobile branded version. Its pretty much new out of the box it seems.
Since you just got it, and someone may have been using it before. i would suggest hard reset first off to remove any junk the previous user may have installed.
ok thats sounds like a good idea, how would i go about it?
(sorry for some of the questions i have been / will be asking, i just came from android to WinMo, so im completely lost)
1. While the HTC Touch Pro 2 is off, press and hold Talk/Send, End and Power until you see a message on the screen about deleting all data.
2. Release the buttons after the message appears.
3. Press the Volume Up button.
once you are done with that I would recommend disabling push internet and also the Dynamic Resource Proxy...

The T-mobile stock ROMs do not have push pages and as such I do not believe it makes use of the Dynamic Proxy.
I came from an Android device (briefly, in between my Wizard to Rhodium). The screen itself is different. This may be part of the lag you are experiencing. I actually prefer the WinMo platform over the Droid one, as it feels more responsive and stable to me. My friends however, who have the the G3 or iPhone hate my Rhodium...so again, I suspect that if, after hard booting your device, it still feels laggy, it may be the differences in how the screen responds versus a Droid screen. The Devs here could explain it in much better techie terms than I.
There is a thread here pushing for a Droid port over to the Rhodium, and I sit here scratching my head asking why. I truly believe that much of it is perception, mine being that Android just isn't for me. You may consider checking out that thread and seeing if the port over is any closer to happening.
In the meantime, I have heard that the Energy roms are quite stable and fast, so you may consider flashing one and seeing if maybe your response issues are handled. Be sure to read up on unlocking/flashing your device first so you don't brick it.
I'm sorry I'm not much help here. I do think though that perhaps some of the issue may be the screen...I could be way off base here too, though.
I am testing out the Dymanic Resource Proxy hack to see if it makes any difference to me. Will let you know what i find, so far idling at about 55%
update:
well, i went ahead and did a system restore, it was faster, but still not to my liking, so iwent ahead and flashed a ROM to make one final test. i went ahead a flashed energy ROM, and i have to say, i very much enjoy it now. ALOT faster, much smoother transition between applications, accelrometer works alot better, an overall greatly improved experience.
thanks to everyone that helped me!
one last question though, after flashing the ROM, my ALT key doesn't seem to work. Any fix? i would do a search, but im already typing a response, so i thought i would go ahead and include it here.

haha thank you, i knew it would probably be somewhere obvious, but i was just responding and figured i would go ahead and throw it in there
Alright idk if this is allowed or not... (if not please lock/delete)
I am currently using phenox 2. but seems to lag sometimes
I am looking for a rom which is best for me. I text ALOT (using hard keyboard and soft keyboard) the soft keyboard i want to use T9 (phone keypad) but it doesnt work on phenox 2 thats why im looking for a different rom. I use it to make phone calls, surf the web, check emails, calender to keep track of my stuff... <<< these are the main things i do every day. so im looking for a ROM which best fits my needs and want to see what everyones opinion is...
I would also like to adjust the vibrate because it vibrates for too long right now which is loud on when its on the table (so i have to always put it on silent)...
I like the fact my weather/calender events is on the main today screen...
so reading from what i like to do with my phone, what is everyones opinion on which ROM would work the best for me?
thanks
Honestly... You and about a hundred others have asked various questions about ROMs. You will not get a real answer here about what you have asked. If you dont have time to test the ROMs... stick with the stock ROM. I use the stock 6.1 ROM and Im very happy with it. I tried 6.5 and hated it.
Im not trying to be a jerk about it... sorry if it comes off that way, but I would hate for you to waste time being hopeful that someone will help with ROM selection.
yeah i know what you mean... I'm actually thinking about maybe going back to 6.1... but maybe a custom 6.1 rom.
know where i can find the stock t-mo 6.1 rom?

thanks, but the only problem with 6.1 is that it didnt have weather displayed on home screen...
To OP: only u can decide which ROM suits u best. thread closed.
Bring on your ROMs
Pretty please.
This is the first phone I've had that I've had no desire to flash. Very limited bloat which I removed already, Between Xposed and G3 tweaksbox I don't see a need. I have no lag, and phone works perfectly.
Nothing personal but could we not have one of these threads every week. They're are devs working on unlocking the bootloader on other devices so once that's done they can look this way and as I understand we. Do have somebody working on Cyanogenmod but that takes time since they have a lot to tweak top very things working.

Yeah I agree. I even like the LG launcher and icons. Everything just works. G3 Tweakbox and App Settings is mostly what I use
No Roms for this device. All devs moved on
AWESOME G3
Devs didn't move on. They are prioritizing getting the bootloader unlocked on the other variants. We were extremely lucky ours wasn't locked or we would be in the same place as the other variants. Roms will show up. The only thing I want to get rid of is the stupid sharpening effect. If that wasn't present this phone would be perfect.
this phone lags
You guys know this phone lags rite. Even after removing
The lg apps rooting xposed blah blah bla like you can literally
Tell when you press the soft home button or the recent it takes a second to respond
When it should be pretty quick another thing xposed and tweak box or w.e the name is are pretty cool
But you have to admit that they will never be better then having Apure Google ROM installed aosp is just awesome
No lags no bs an and total control of customization.

It's a smart phone, not a fiber optic internet backbone server. I don't think a half second response time it worth making a fuss over.

That + I am pretty sure the "lag" is a legitimate part of the stock launcher. I'm not saying they made the correct decision on how long it takes if that delay is on purpose but every launcher has some kind of delay on buttons its just less on most others. So much so that you don't really notice it
Wasn't there one of these threads before FFS
This thread is so overrated, like the 200 before. For them to complain in one thread, they need to make 200. News flash, it will not make development go any faster just make you look ungrateful to the ones who have been devin.

I have to agree. Rooting then installing those apps caused me to not be pressed about custom roms. Don't get me wrong if someone graces us with one I will try it but I like what LG did here with just a tweak here and there by me.
The only thing that I want gone more than anything is the artificial sharpening that is part of the software. I can't understand for the life of me why LG decided to add this in, but they need to give us the option to remove it. Other than that, I have no complaints on the phone.
Hello guys, I recently got my phone (D855) and I'd like to know a couple of stuff so I have gathered some questions that I have , so if anyone is willing to help I would be grateful. I come from a horrible experience with a Galaxy A7, good phone terrible XDA support but w.e, I know a couple of stuff but bare with me. And no hate pls .
1st)What should I know of , before rooting and installing TWRP. Like what button combinations are there . What software/Method should I use?
2nd) What risks are there? I mean I've been to situations like soft-bricking and stuff , but how do I overcome them? I mean like reflashing and troubleshooting in general.
3rd)I've used custom roms in the past, and my favourite by far was Resurrection and CM. I am willing to try new stuff but I need to know whether classic stock LG functions do exist on the Custom Roms like Double Tap to Wake/Sleep , 4k and Slow-mo recording, Knock code, LED Notifications , Quick Remote etc.
4th) If I want to go back to stock, will my warranty still be working? I am asking cause Samsung used a system that recorded any 3rd-party software changed and triggered a flag so that it shows that warranty was not viable anymore.
Thanks in advance !
So I have been in this modding android game for quite some time since I had an LG G3 and then I moved over to the Nexus 6 for about 2 years and some of these custom roms are just awesome but one thing I cannot get rid of properly are the inbuilt AOSP apps..
on the Nexus 6 a few years back somebody made a flashable zip that got rid of all of them and the boot animation but then fixed the boot animation being deleted and unfortunately time to change technology has changed and that doesn't work on this phone obviously.
I have tried using the magisk debloater and it just a little too complicated for me because I don't like having two of the same apps one being Google the other being AOSP and any other gaps package I flash besides the razorlove gapps fail when flashing a custom ROM..
I've tried using opengapps and I thought when flashing that package the AOSP apps get replaced with the Google version of them.
Would anybody mind listing what AOSP apps I can remove completely and I apologize if it's already on the thread but I didn't really see anything or maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place but can you guys help me out? I really like the RR ROM but the AOSP apps just bothered the hell out of me. I've tried using titanium to completely remove some of them like the AOSP Keyboard but it doesn't fully remove them and I don't want to go into the files that I don't know about and screw up my phone..
So right now I'm on stock and the limitations kind of suck so if anybody could you know help me out listing a method that they use to get rid of them that actually works or listing the ones that I can remove and what program I can use to remove them I do not want to disable them I want to remove them... Or because I know how to use Linux and what not you know maybe somebody could show me how to make a flashable zip that will remove them and I will gladly share it to the community but I'm looking for anything that helps.
It would be greatly appreciated!

You do realize that AOSP is not a single project like some rom developers, right? If someone publishes an "AOSP" rom, that doesn't mean that they are following some kind of standards or rules.

Well obviously but what I'm saying is pretty much every ROM that I flash seems to have the built-in apps that are AOSP based or maybe I'm not saying it right but basically every ROM that I've tried (dirty unicorns, Resurrection Remix, carbon, dotOS, sudomod,) all have built-in AOSP Keyboard AOSP phone AOSP calendar AOSP email **** like that and that's what I want to remove

A piece of advice. Get rid of your Pixel as soon as you can. It's a bug testing platform for Google. Samsung, HTC, LG, Oneplus take buggy Google code and refine it. Google doesn't bother.
I only keep this $960 piece of **** (which is now worth less that $300) because I have no other alternative at the moment. As soon as I can dump it for a real a phone, I will.
I'm good thanks I do my research before I buy my phones and I will never buy another Samsung again and dumping my phone is not an option right now if it was I get me the Rog phone from Asus that thing is a beast

I used an S9 for a little while when I was setting it up for a friend. It's a marvelous phone. I have owned multiple HTC flagships in the past, and they were stellar. I have heard that LG and Oneplus were excellent. My last phone before Pixel XL was Note 7, which was absolutely amazing, one of a kind. This pos Pixel XL has been nothing but bug ridden nightmare. The only reason why I keep it around is because of Project FI. It's because it's cheap. Goddamn $960 nightmare on top of that.
Also, please use punctuation next time. Not using it seems like an insult, but maybe that's just me.
I like my pixel XL. No bugs here.

Click on my profile and find new threads started by me in this subforum.
I believe every single new thread was me complaining about one bug or another.
The biggest one that is always on my mind though, and which is almost a deal breaker, was introduced by Google in the 7.0.2 update. And they still haven't fixed it, but all other manufacturers have - I know for a fact that this bug was fixed in Oreo by Samsung and Oneplus.
It's where you wear a smartwatch which can make and receive phone calls, such as my beautiful Huawei Watch with a gorgeous custom band, and then you get inside your car with a bluetooth hands-free car kit, or just a bluetooth headset, which then improperly connects to the phone as "Connected (no phone)." So you cannot use it. If you don't wear a watch, then everything works fine with a kit or bt headset. This is the reason why I don't wear my beautiful watch anymore. Google needs to fire their bluetooth stack programmer.

My bad. I use speech to text a lot and I don't like using punctuation when speaking. It causes some bad habits.
Update though, upon doing further research making a flashable zip is complicated but I should have it all figured out by the end of the week and I'm not really having any bugs with the AOSP apps I just don't like looking in my app drawer and seeing there's duplicates and I really don't want to manually hide all of them each time I flash a ROM or something and do a backup.
On a side note I just found a Chrome extension that allows speech to text and is very good with no ads. If you're like me and you use your voice more than you use your keyboard, look up voice in voice typing under Chrome extensions pretty damn simple.

A friend of mine made a script specifically for what you are trying to do, granted, it's for a different device and older version of Android. Some small modification should be all it needs to suit your purpose, if nothing else, it may contain some useful information.

You are completely fine. I'm shocked how nice people are on here LOL usually people are just mean and think they have the right answer and I have to accept it no matter what and I just don't like people who are so full of themselves so thank you.
I've been trying to research this but I was supposed to have surgery today and I was getting ready for that and unfortunately it was cancelled without my knowledge so that was pretty stressful and now I have to start the whole process over again because the doctors I was going to go to no longer accept my insurance and nobody told me so I'm still going to work on this it's just going to be a little bit of a process.

As a side note, I am now in the same boat as you. I have a Oneplus 6 now, silk white, which is gorgeous. But it has double apps like yours - 2 calendars, 2 calculators, 2 message apps, 2 clock apps etc. I don't even really know which ones are Google and which ones are Oneplus - I think the round icons are Google, but rectangular icons are Oneplus. Plus I don't know which apps are better. I think that I will use some of them for a while and disable the least appealing ones.
There are only a handful, and maybe that's what you can do? Just disable? If you cannot disable from the main Android interface, you can do it from adb. There are commands that can disable and enable app packages from adb.
Hey guys I'm sorry it's been awhile since I've kept up with you guys. So a little side note
I have started this project it is my very first project on my GitHub.
But my problem is I have no idea how to even start this I mean I tried using the flashable zip creator and it pulled the system apps but I'm at a loss here any help would be greatly appreciated..
