[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Leo,

What is the difference between the 29002 and 23148 builds?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
It's a different MS build.

Both are com 3, I only taught people would like to try out a new build.

I'm playing with both builds but didn't do a benchmark, which one is faster I can't say LoL :D

23148 is coming from HTC Oboe

29022 is coming from Asus

I think you need to flash yourself and feel the difference. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Dear all,

Bad news, today I dropped my HD2 on the ground by accident and the display burst.

I have no insurance and letting it repair cost around 3/400 euro (display plus touchscreen)

A second hand HD2 cost also minimum 250 euro.

I wanted to wait till next year with buying a new phone as the current specs are not fantastic to my opinion.

Also WM I still prefer above WP7 or Android.

But this changes it. :(

I will look around for a HD2 but I'm affraid this is the end of WM development for me. :(

Thank you all for the support and I'm very sorry.

Grtz, Leo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
Whoa, now that´s bad news... first of all, for yourself (a loss!), then also for us.

Anyway, maybe Dutty makes a good price for his obsolete HD2? Just kidding...

Thanks one more time to you for all your efforts and great ROMs...

Let´s see what your next step might be... (maybe Android, more pimping and ROM cooking there?)... as I wrote earlier, I´ll switch probably later this year. Or, maybe as soon as something similar like your accident happens to me... (my HD2 fell a few times already, but always survived so far...).

The good side maybe: Now you´ll have plenty of time for your family, no? Enjoy life, mate!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
OMG...:eek:

it s really sad, hope you can resolve it soon..

But if you eventually buy a new device, why dont consider Android?

There will be a lot of fun there...

Please let us know whatever your decision...

Damn, I am gonna miss your ROMs :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phezthie:
I suddenly remember a great guy, orb3000. that commendable initiative he did when Tomal's Universal suffered the same fate.. :D

I guess its time to do the same...:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Leo, Sorry to hear about your phone. I sent a little money your way to help either replace it or move on. Whichever works best for you. I really appreciate all you have done for my phone. Thank you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ::indie:::
My friend Leo this is very very sad :(:(

We do not want to loose you and your skills,

so please consider the option to fix your broken device.

Read here and if you are interested contact ultimate_technologies for more info:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12572305&postcount=2468

I know many HD2 owners from Greece that also fixed their device and I can get you in contact with them if you want.

The cost is about 100 to 150 euros.

@

To all Platinum Series users

Please donate Leo to help him continue his work for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
If Leo will seriously repair it, I will share 20Euro.

But it wont be enough to cover the cost.

Please firstly confirm the total for the repair and we'll see how much fund we can share

Other advice is welcome

Grtz
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Thank you friends,

Tomorrow I have an appointment to have a look at a second hand HD2.

175 euro sounds good, I hope it will be in good condition.

I rather prefer to buy a second hand then repairing the display because it's scratched/damaged

on several places now that it dropped.

The difference in price isn't that big as well buying a second hand or letting the screen repair.

And I can always sell my old HD2 for spare parts after I bought. ;)

Fingers crossed. ;)

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] meltwater:
Good luck on getting a replacement at a decent price, hopefully you can sell on your old one for spares perhaps and help towards it too.

It's a shame that dead screen makes it unusable, I just think of that processor just sitting there...if only it could be transplanted into my touch HD....:D

>>> The only difference is the TouchHD screen is 3.8 inches while the HD2 is 4.3...same resolution...same connector??? lol Oh resistive though...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Yeah I think so :)

Just let us know your final decision

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phezthie:
that's the spirit...:) cheers mate..

as long as Leo26 is still around, WM cannot be totally considered as a dying OS. Neither HD2 be categorized as an obsolete nor forsaken device. . :D

Thus, let's do our share. "together is power" indeed...;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:
Good Luck, Leo.

As you can see from previous posts, your ROM's are well appreciated.

:)​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
@Osiedacs,

Thank you very much my friend. :)

I'm going to replace it and continue cooking.

Tomorrow I know more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi all,

I will replace the screen, but it will take another week or 2.

Grtz, Leo

what i am reading here!? I am away for 5 days about my work and then this. Leo what have you done. i thnk it wa the to short on sleep ;). When i can help plase skype me, you know i am online...

BTW: one more week wok and then i am free or 3 weeks. Yes and then i have more time ;-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] light_n_roses:
Hi leo !

Sorry if I'm disturbing but I would like to ask you 2 things !

I would know if you have had time to check the navipanel ! Also I'm not on you rom at the moment ( haven't had time to try it ) but from the screenshot it seems that your rom have the same problem. If you eneble manila landscape then you lost the nice animation on music and albums tabs, do you know if there is a way to preserve the rotate animation on album and music tabs while you have landscape on the entire manila ?!?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Light_n_roses,

My device is bricked atm, I dropped it and the screen has bursted,

so atm there's nothing I can do or test.

Hopefully in about one or two weeks it will be repaired with a new screen and I can continue cooking.

About the music and album tabs, I don't know what you mean with the nice animation?

To my opinion both tabs look great in landscape and rotate fine.

Grtz, Leo
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] light_n_roses:
if you don't have manila with landscape eneble and you go to the album and music tab if you rotate the screen you can see that the manila rotate with a nice animation and you have a different style instead of the one that you can see with landascape on for all manila !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HD2Owner:
i feel you bro... a similar thing happend to me. but i destroyed the screen myself while disassebling device to replace buttons.

wish you luck and hope you can get a replacement soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi Mate,

It is the way full rotation mode works :) It will supersede the original landscape mode in Album and Music Tab ;)

That is why, I prefer to have the original landscape (not installing the full rotation cab).

Cheers..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Aha, yeah btw I've made two cabs for the Rotation rom versions, not for the full version.

* The cab included in the zip enables full rotation. (whole Manila all tabs rotate)

* On page 1 here post 3 I've a cab to enable natural rotation. (only the album and Music tabs rotate)

Thanks Silverwind. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antaed:
Oh no Leo, you too... :(

The same thing happened to me, hope the HTC Service in NL are better professionals than here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137869

I sent it back again because:

- the screen doesn't have the same brightness as before

- the green notification led is not working

- the compass (magnetic field sensor) is not working - this also seems to create an issue with auto-rotation in android :confused:

- the keypad seems to be slightly misplaced to the right (e.g. if i press the start button on its left edge, the home key is activated)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Ah that sucks mate, I'm very sorry for you.

I actualy wondered where you where LoL, but now I know. ;)

About all the hardware not working on your device,

I wonder if it's only the display that cracked, looking at your story it felt hard. :(

The device slipt out of my hands and dropped on the stone floor on the corner.

The display cracked and it's looking horrible.

Next saturday I will let it fix by a shop.

Fingers crossed they will do better then your device indeed.

Good luck with your second repair.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] antaed:
progress is slow here, my phone spent 7 days in the shop already...

they said it will take 5 to 15 days so i should have it back within a week from now.

thanks for the kind words, good luck to you too :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Rataplan:
Hopefully they will do their job better then the first time, just reading what a mess they made of your phone.

Goodluck antaed, and Leo offcourse.

Hi all,

If everything is ok tomorrow my HD2 will be fixed.

Enjoy the weekend.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wh128:
Hi L26,

the problem, posted by scpion is, i think, that music and gallery rotate without your cab and there works usefull functions. your autorotatecab set this out of work. the best cab is natural rotation in this tabs and "auto-rotation" in all other. your cab works also in ship-roms.

thank's

w128
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Don't make it to complicated please.

I have a Full rom which doesn't need a cab at all and Sense rotates natural as it does on stock rom as well.

I also have two Rotation roms online with a rotate cab inside the zip to enable full rotation of all Sense tabs, they all rotate synchronised with this cab.

Besides that I also have a cab online to enable natural rotation on both Rotation roms incase some people like natural Sense rotation like HTC made it.

That cab you can find on page 1 HERE with a explanation.

Natural rotation means, home doesn't rotate, only the album and music tabs.

In the full version, Album, Document and Music tab rotate, document tab is added as extra.

In both Rotation roms there's no Footprints and documents tab as they do not rotate nicely with all tabs,

that's why I took them out of the rotation roms.

Everything is explained on page 1 of this thread.

Grtz, Leo :)

Edit, I've made a screenshot of the music, document and album tabs in landscape on the Full version rom because I'm currently on that rom.

As far as I know the album and music tabs rotate identical in the Rotation versions when you enable full rotation with the cab included in the zip or enable natural rotation with the cab on page 1.

It's all tested.

Attached the screenshot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Silverwind,

My device is repaired, the total cost was 105 euro for repairing the screen.

Thank you for your offer.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Ah, thank goodness. Let the cooking resume!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Yeah, I'm very happy to have my device back. :)

I like to thank you and Chancer63 for donating and sharing the cost for a new display, I highly appriciate it.

Hi Leo,

Sorry, I just come bact to this thread again. It has been a busy weekend.

Mate, there is problem with your paypal. I click the "donate to me"

and as usual it bring me to paypal login. It is in Netherland languages.

I also cannot loggin from that page.

I try to go directly to www.paypal.com and loggin from there, it works.

So, there is nothing wrong with my paypal account.

Any idea? or else, could you send me your paypal account email so that I can send it from paypal website (instead of click "donate to me")

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Hey Silver, I had the same issue. But it actually allowed me to log in and then it changed to my language (English). You could also try copying the URL and paste it into a google translation page.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
Hi Mate,

I follow your advice and it works :). But I cannot change the currency, so I use USD currency. Thanks anyway.

@Leo,

Here is the confirmation number from Paypal: 9P445489WJ0142723.

Hope that could help :)

Keep up the good works and cheers ....

@Leo,

Excellent work, thank you very much. Flashed 'June 17, 2011 > Laurentius26 HD2 Platinum V.3.0 23148 GER Rotation/Opera 10 flash' and all seem to work flawlessly. However one small issue, radio.mscr & audiobooster.mscr both say 'missing certificate or components missing'. What went wrong? Need to re-flash? HSPL 2.08 HSPL installed.

Thank you,

2tango
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Both of those are Mort Script files and you will have to install Mort Script to get them to work. You should be able to find what you need here:

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=MortScript
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi 2Tango,

I Checked the audio booster Mortscript in my kitchen but couldn't find a issue as the shortcut directs straight to windows.

Also the Morscript itself seems fine and isn't language depended.

About radio.mscr, I don't know what you mean with that.

That Mortscript I don't use in the rom.

Can you explain what that Mortscript is doing and where you have it from?

Tomorrow I will flash to the German version and confirm if audio booster is working or not.

If not, I will fix it.

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 2tango:
@osiedacz,

Thxs for quick response. Now I'm a bit mixed up: Programs->Multimedia->FM Radio - a popup appears with the explanation for not-starting and named radio.mscr top left.

I do not know whether mortscript is handling the failure, or missing mortscript is it.....:confused:

@Leo,

I did not install mortscript separately. Don't know where it comes from:(

Let's see how it works for you........

THXS,

2tango
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] osiedacz:
Sorry, you can ignore what I said. I forgot that the rotation versions of the ROM have mort in them already. I was thinking of the full version that does not. My bad.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Tango,

It's indeed a problem in v.3.0 GER.

I'm busy updating all roms to v3.5, I will fix it in next update.

Edit; give me a few minutes I will make a cab to fix it.

Edit 2; attached the cab to fix Mortscript in the German v3.0 Rotation versions Opera 9 and 10. Please softreset after installing the cab.

Laurentius26 HD2 Platinum V.3.5 WWE Full 29022 (extra manila documents and footprints

Hi Laurentius26 ........ Enjoying your latest rom, speedy and so far very stable. Successfully have your L26_Navipanel_152016112101_WWE file working and opening Tomtom.

Only issue I have experienced is the loosing of the RSS tab after installing the htc e-reader tab for some reason it disapears even from the home screen tab selection list.

Do you have a workaround, or a reader tab installation cabfile that avoids this issue.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi my friend,

Maybe I can fix that but then you need to give me a Manila file from the Windows directory of your device

or give me a link to the e-reader tab you installed.

Incase you want to give me the Manila file, I need 26948339_manila

The default explorer doesn't find it I think, you need Total commander to find it on the device and copy it.

Grtz, Leo :)

Is the full rotation rom compatible with running Android on sd card?

My search did not reveal any android post on this thread.

Hi mihaid, with such a great rom you don't need Android ;) , but to come back to your question, it's no problem to run Android on sd with all the roms from Laurentius26.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Cristian,

* Jetcetprint the name says it I think, it's a program to print your pictures and docs.

You can configure a wifi printer with it to print wireless.

* BCR = Business card reader, you can read business cards with it.

You make a picture of the business card with the program and it converts it to text so you can use it as vcard.

* Navipanel is a program that works together with Copilot and HTC cradle in the car.

Grtz, Leo :)

HD2-Platinum vs Galaxy S2 vs iphone5

Hi Guys,

First of all, Laurentius26, you made your ROM too good! I am so happy with the HD2, that now I am scratching my head what to do! Naughty you! :)

So, my question is, could any of you give me your opinion on staying with the HD2 (Platinum of course), go with the Galaxy S2 or wait for the iphone5?

The reason is that I am going to receive 2 new Samsung Galaxy S2 via my provider. My initial idea was to sell them and wait for the iphone5 to buy and try out. But now I am reading everywhere that the GS2 is such a magnificent device, and I am starting to doubt. Together with the fact that the HD2 is working perfectly for me, but, being a technician, would like to check out the latest.

I am using my device mainly for:

- calling (of course, but good call quality is important)

- SMS (with Swype, absolutely)

- TomTom (I have heard Sygnic is similar, but have a hard time leaving TT)

- Flashlight (unbelievable how many times I am using the flash as a light)

- camera

- syncing with Outlook ( a must, but push email is not needed)

- web browsing every now and then

What do you think?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Ftrippie,

Looking at the features you are listing they are all possible with the HD2 Platinum. :)

Besides that I'm working on something new. :D

And my friends are busy as well haha.. ;)

But yes, maybe the Samsung is good and two new devices sounds great, new toys to play with! :D;)

I can't give you advise, I stick with my HD2 till something better comes on the market, probably next year. :rolleyes:

Grtz, Leo :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tkalli:
I have both the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, plus the HD2.

The Galaxy's are great phones, but I think the HD2 was one of the

best phones made. Will run just about every OS.

Decisions on phones is a personal thing and everyone has a

different idea.

Never have been an iPhone fan. I have had a couple and sold them.

Leo said, "Besides that I'm working on something new."

All I will say about that is it is the best ROM I have used on my HD2.

:D

​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ftrippie:
Yeah, exactly, this is the problem, the HD2 works TOO well with your platinum ROM! I just noticed today that there is a v3 and I am still on v1, that's how much your platinum ROM is made for the HD2! With the Gold roms, I always had the feeling that there was something missing (speed, updates, whichever), but the platinum works perfect!

this is why it's so difficult to go for newer hardware (and OS), even when theoretically it should be working better than the almost 2 (?) years older HD2... And come to think of it, even MUCH older OS, I can't even be bothered to try out Android or Win7 on my HD2, stupid no ? :-)

TKALLI, having both the HD2 and the GS2, which one do you use the most and why?
