TD2 Tools: Tweak up that Touch Device (Pro2 or Diamond2)

Posted on Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 by Malatesta
 

Being Windows phone users basically invites endless tweaking and modifying and while the Touch Pro 2/Diamond 2 is nearly perfect, there are still some niggles that bother some folks.

Lyriquidperfection, over at XDA, has made a nice little (and free!) program called "TD2 Tools" which just hit version 2a (look for v2b soon).

The program is simple enough and contains the following features:

  • General: Contains options for PopUp Menus, Start Menu Size, SMS Options.
  • TouchFLO: All TouchFLO related settings will be found here including TouchFLO Rotation, Enabling/Disabling TouchFLO Start Menu and HTC's Custom PopUp Menus.
  • Performance: Contains settings for altering: 'File System', 'File System Filter' and 'GDI / Font' Cache Sizes and GPS performance options will be in here.
  • Power: Wake Device on SMS and Wake Device On ANY Button can be found in here. More options will be included soon.
  • White List: White List integration so you can easily add or remove an application you want to rotate. Just browse for your '.exe' file, press the 'Capture' button & load your desired program. Then its just a simple case of inserting the 'Stylus' back into your phone to 'grab' the Window information.
  • Bluetooth: Various options for altering Bit Pool, Sample Rate, Device Name and Enabling / Disabling Audio Gateway Service and Obex Service etc.

The Performance section is really nice, helping to speed up the device graphics/processing.  Of course we always recommend a backup, just in case, but overall this program is pretty safe and well worth the 5 minute investment. Keep an eye on that page too as the developer is constantly adding new tweaks. 

And don't forget a donation if you like the developer's work!

Nice app. Anybody else have issues when you attempt to apply your changes? Mine keeps blowing an error with the stock AT&T ROM on the Tilt 2. The G-sensor white list works, but my other settings don't seem to.

Looks good, but I am going to be very cautious. The other popular tool, "Advanced Config" was great until everyone with the CDMA/GSM versions of the phones found out "Advanced Config" was very tuned specifically to GSM, and led to very unpredictable results on the CDMA phones (things like killing the data connection or making Bluetooth unstable weren't unheard of). This was something I personally experienced, as did a number of people over there at PPCGeeks.

Looking at the feature set described, I don't see any immediate warning flags, but I'd still like to know it'll play nice before I try it.

Advanced Config is still a good tool, even for CDMA--as long as you know to stay away from the radio mods as you say.

This doesn't touch the radio and seems pretty harmless; still, backups always recommended.

This is not supported for TP2!
-Because it does not work

Been working perfectly fine for me...

So, maybe your brain doesn't work.

No, It has been confirmed by the creator that it is not intended for use with Touch Pro 2....

according to the developer, this is NOT supported on the tp2:

Which is fine...but I and others are telling you it works on the Touch Pro 2, as in we own those devices, have run this software, it works and has no side effects.

He says it is not "officially" supported meaning he has no Touch Pro 2 to test on therefore he makes no claims.

I'm making the claim.

This looks interesting and I'll definitely try it out.
