[General Questions and Answers] chrisa86:
I'm currently using Gingerbread Sense Rom for my DHD, however the only reason I use it is for the Facebook integration, the style of the message app is nice but not dissimilar to the stock app and the rest is quite similar or easily replaceable.

Is there an app I'm not aware of that recreates the Sense functionality for non-Sense roms? Would rather use CM7 Nightlies but I do like the contacts and Facebook integration.
[General Questions and Answers] VibrantOwnr:
Though it us not very sense like, try "go contacts". It is miui like and actually very good
[General Questions and Answers] chrisa86:
Truthfully the design doesn't bother me it's the Facebook integration (automatic pictures and statuses), the auto-linking contacts based on name etc
[General Questions and Answers] Vegasden:
If you purchase Launcher Pro they have numerous "sense-like" widgets including one for contacts. There is also a free app on the Market called Photo Contracts widget that is similar.

........
[General Questions and Answers] chrisa86:
Thanks, Colorize does a similar thing too but is there nothing that replicates just how integrated Facebook is with Sense UI? The official Facebook app itself is awful with contacts so I recall... It's nice to just have pictures automatically updates (SyncMyPix is fine but it to be done automatically without extra apps is far better!)
[General Questions and Answers] kristov55:
Hi chrisa86,

I'm totally with you. Yesterday I flashed CyanogenMod on my Desire. Coming from a sense-based ROM, specially the Contacts App is a pain. I want my nice and clear list with links and Facebook back!

I don't mind Widgets, because I'm using Launcher Pro, but the App itself.

So far, I tried Youlu, but is it more at the stock side than on the Sense side :(
[General Questions and Answers] DannyBiker:
Unfortunately, there is nothing like the Facebook integration in Sense. And the latest Gingerbread update even went back in terms of the Facebook/Android connexions.

That's the only thing I miss from Sense ROMS actually...
[General Questions and Answers] Dinaiz:
Yes, I just flashed Redux rom (which is very good by the way) to try gingerbread, and I'm badly missing the HTC contacts as well.

Additionally from facebook integration, there's also something missing: the ability to type a person name's directly from the dialer (aka Smart Dial : http://www.mobisleapps.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Screen-shot-2010-01-12-at-4.16.47-PM.png)

Any workarounds ?
[General Questions and Answers] con247:
Dialer One in the market has smart dial. You can set that as your default phone app.
[General Questions and Answers] Dinaiz:
Yep, I should have done more research before asking. I just realized that there are numerous alternative dialers.

However, to get back to the OP question, nothing like sense contacts (for facebook sync) at the moment, right ? :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] FtrV8:
Do I have this correct as the quickest way to get Cyanogen on my Inspire.

Inspire Hack kit > Clockwork recovery > Cyanogen ROM flash?

What is the S-eng off?

Bobby
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
That is correct. You dont need Eng S-off. The hack kit will give you s-off which is what you need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FtrV8:
HTC Inspire 4G Simple Root and S-OFF or HTC Inspire Hack Kit are my choices. Simple??
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Yeah they are both fairly simple if you read and follow directions lol :p. I would go with using the hack kit for the simple reason that you gain a bit if experience using commands with adb and sdx tools.
[HTC Inspire 4G] FtrV8:
Thank you sir!

I used font changer to change my font to helvetica light, but now the right side margin in gmail is really far to the left.... So the emails are much longer in length since the text doesn't go to the end of the screen anymore.

Anyone else seeing this and is there a work around?
[Android Apps and Games] seven2099:
work around = rollback
[Android Apps and Games] shortskoolbus:
Seriously? Obviously that's not my preferred solution. That's not even a work around, it's simply not even making the change.

No point being a smart ass in here...
[Android Apps and Games] HomerSp:
Edit the gmail apk and change the right margin.
[Android Apps and Games] shortskoolbus:
No idea how to do that.

I think a lot if people are using font changer, surprised it hasn't been commonly reported.

Hmmm... This seems to be good news. I am in Canada and my HD7 still says that I dont have any updates as of yet so I guess the waiting game begins.

Does anyone happen to know if there is a reported schedule for which countries the update will be going top first and then in what sequence from there?

[HD7 General] berto22:
Microsoft is slowly distributing the update to a number of unbranded devices worldwide and owners should see the update notification shortly. Carrier branded devices are a whole different story. A number of mobile operators, Orange, O2 and AT&T blocked the first Windows Phone 7 patch update when it was originally released. It’s not yet clear when carrier branded devices will receive update notifications. WinRumors understands that O2 UK should be pushing the update to its range of devices on March 24.
[HD7 General] schmoo:
I had installed the "xda" nodo via gold card, and it still wants me to update (could it be footballs euro release was not GOLD<g>), anyhoo here goes nothing...

Schmoo!
[HD7 General] zeka1974:
Football release was 7389 version...I think that this is the "official" update from Microsoft (7390)

Thanks,

Well I won't waste any time looking for diffs so! Football rules (if I didn't mention before LOL)

[HD7 General] schmoo:
Actually from a serious point of view - I could have fernangled zune backups so I could always return to a V1 side-loadable OS.

Also I bet these backups are in some password protected VHD format (since MS have been using them for many things of late - including the VM WMP7, and WHS V1 backups)

Hmmmm,

Is it a Vodafone one? Can you post the "about" information in settings?

I've got an unbranded one and use a Cosmote SIM but zune reports no updates - last update 7.0.7008.0

NoDO update for Malaysia Maxis finally detected. updating now.
[HD7 General] aquanaut88:
NoDo update HD7 (unbranded) in Taiwan Now Live!

Updating now (on step 6)

I have to say the graphic of the phone computer and cord is a bit confusing. At first it isn't connected implying my usb cable connection might be loose. I didn't touch anything and it later shows the cord connected to the PC. There's a red "no" circle with a white arrow pointing in the direction of the HD7... this is while a 'back-up' is being created from the phone to the PC (step 7).

On a 16Gb HD7 with 7.5Gb free, whole process takes 58-minutes (rom back-up & loading of new rom >50%).

Although a very long process (1 hr!), all settings have been retained, zune pass content & other media all exist as before the update.

New ROM: 7.07.7390.0

Firmware: 2250.09.16901.707

Hardware: 0002

Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U

Radio Hardware: A.102.0.D4

Bootloader: 1.69.2250.0

Cheers
[HD7 General] fulat:
look closely on the phone. there's a bar for backup which is moving slowly. same thing for installing. there's a bar to show the progress of all the process.

the zune desktop version just another indicator for you to know which process they are running.

Can anyone confirm that Jailbreak with Chevron still works with the NODO update????
[HD7 General] truffle1234:
my unbranded Hd7 from singapore took 10 days to get the pre updat update....

MS is pushing out updates in batches i guess... it must be doing lots of process in the background on MS servers, thats why they do not push it out one shot to every one...

most likely they check lots of things like windows OS checks when updating.. maybe thats how they flush out the HD2 devices...

No update for me till now.!!

I use Vodafone GR and the only way that had the nodo was when i installed the 1.69.401.01 and then i had the notification for the official update to nodo. Having the stock 1.16.401.01 i only had the pre nodo notification till now..

[HD7 General] jimbonics:
I was notified yesterday there was an update, so I updated. It was just the pre-nodo 7008 however. Have yet to get the actual nodo update notification.
[HD7 General] silversurfer03:
Notification yes, update no ?

I have promtply received notification over the phone (probably wap push message or something) in which I was kindly asked to execute required update.

I already have 7008 february one, so I thought this was March's 7390 build one.

However when I connected to Zune, it says that my phone is up to date, and there's no update available!

Now I have to check now and then regularly through Zune each time, bothersome process...

[HD7 General] ProjektFuze:
It has been a while since I connected my phone to Zune. So when I recieved a prompt for an update I just automatically figured that it was the NoDo update. Yet, my OS says it is 7.0.7003... So basically I haven't recieved it yet? I am T-Mobile btw.. I am just confused on why I cannot update my phone...

[HD7 General] usolidd:
Cool!

My unbranded HDC HD7 is updating to NO DO on this moment. Thanks to this easy method:

1. Start Zune

2. Turn off Data connection and Wifi on the Phone

3. Connect the Phone with the PC (USB)

4. Start the update search in Zune

5. About 4 seconds later, disconnect your PC from the internet (Turn WLAN off).

6. Zune finds NoDo-Update. Press OK.

7. Connect to the internet again and install the update.

I couldn't past the original link bcuz I'm new in this forum :)

For me, at the step n#5, I disconnected my lan cable after approx 3 secs, and it worked! Zune found the nodo update. Then I connected the back.

Enjoy folks!

I am glad I came across this forum post. I will be getting me a powerskin.
[HD2 Accessories] Abdul9.:
Ofcourse it will work, since what you are doing is not different from charging the phone. I mean you connect this battery via miniusb to the phone so i see no reason why it shouldn't work. I think the right question would be if the device will show it as an extended battery or as the phone being charged. I think you get what i am trying to say.
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
It will show it being charged as normal. Just wish they sold it in the UK ... without the huge delivery charge on ebay.

OEM T-Mobile Protective Cover w/ Battery Boost for HTC HD2

The reviews don't seem to be too good, and I'm nt frm the US, but guessing someone might want this
[HD2 Accessories] dkampo:
Hi ppl why you want to buy something that makes the phone ugly, big ,non pocket friendly and you have to carry it. If i checked correct it charging the phone up to 85%. If you don't have problem to carry something with you you can choose zagg which can charge hd2 almost 4 times or you can carry a Chinese battery from eBay which is really cheap and smaller . For me because this is a problem i choose this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320646241073

Same size without changing battery cover

This is my opinion guys sorry for my bad English

Cheers
[HD2 Accessories] Moon2:
Ty for the reply,

About the zagg, I don't want to carry along something that is detached from my phone, because I like to keep it in my pocket; I admit this makes it thicker, but I got extra big pockets just in case - sales assistant stared at me cluelessly when I asked for jeans/cargo trousers with the biggest pockets.

About the 2430mah Chinese battery, it's stated capacity is a lie - hence a waste of money.
[HD2 Accessories] intruda119:
LOl theres no way the fit an extra 1000mah in the same size battery. Im no expert at batteries but it isnt physically possible. I guess most xda members wear skinny jeans or something.
[HD2 Accessories] jdmitr:
Wow that thing is huge and ugly imo. I get great life out of my battery using hyperdroid GBX...ever since I have been using that rom I have not once thought about an exteded battery. ;)
[HD2 Accessories] fallen368:
I bought this from ebay for $13 w/free shipping. Just got it today. Hd2 is 2mm x 1mm x .5mm smaller than the hd7, so it is a little loose. But barely loose. Still fits, and stays put, doesn't slide around. Hd7 power and battery ratings are the same as hd2, so it is fully compatible. Works great! Doesn't actually add to your total maH, but you have a gel cover with a built in 1500 maH battery that charges your phone when needed. The result- led is always green or amber, so no flashing led when message is received. Also, there is no data pass through, so you have to take the case off to sync with your pc. The case comes off easily though. Case takes the same usb connector as the phone, so you can use your charger. Since it is a case, the overall size increase is uniform, unlike the pregnant bulge of an extended battery. Still, I'm going to get an extended battery just to have it and check it out. I recommend this case.
[HD2 Accessories] poisas:
Hi, i wonder how much extra working ours you get using this case, ? some 10hrs more ?
[HD2 Accessories] RollerCoasting:
My mom owns an HTC HD7, I tried one of her cases on my phone, and it fit perfectly, however the problem is that the volume rocker is on the other side so it makes it difficult to change the volume on the phone
[HD2 Accessories] poisas:
how much extra hrs you get with this case ?
[HD2 Accessories] Xeroday:
I was thinking of getting one of these (or an extended battery) but I just bought a portable charger. It's 2300 mah (almost 2 extra full charges) for only $30.
