LOL well of course its not compatible, i wanted to know if it would work & crossing builds didnt even cross my mind, but i think i found something here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194290 but i dunno how to work this into my theme base with 6locks & pulldown animation(made by GituSum)<-->here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1162821 or if its transferable or not bc he has 2 versions eg22/ec05. I have no idea how to dev & im a lil iffy bout it since i cant get apk manager or apk tool to work right for anything i doubt ill be able to do it myself

Edit: or would this conflict with srf1.2's 6locks mod???
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xanthinealkaloid:
FWIW...As I was hoping to achieve something like this myself, here's what I dug up concerning this request.

It requires editing 2 different files in the services.jar for just about any ROM.

1. Remove the clock from the status bar.

The StatusBarPolicy.smali requires these changes:

--- StatusBarPolicy.smali	2011-08-21 00:58:15.143531002 -0500
+++ StatusBarPolicy2.smali	2011-08-21 00:58:44.775531004 -0500
@@ -831,10 +831,10 @@

move-result-object v3

- iput-object v3, p0, Lcom/android/server/status/StatusBarPolicy;->mClockIcon:Landroid/os/IBinder;

.line 635
const-string v3, "storage"

This one is thanks to ptfmedic...I checked the changes in the services.jar available on his blog, http://lostandtired.com/.

2. Add the clock by the date when the status bar is expanded.

There's 2 methods for doing this one which both require editing the DateView.smali.

Option 1 This one let's you set a date/time in a FULL, LONG, MEDIUM, or SHORT format.

Option 2 This one allows you to set whatever string you'd like based on the SimpleDateFormat.

[Windows Phone 7 General] koolxx:
i got 2 questions about the HD7 and HD2 with WP7:

1) is it possible to tweak an HD7 to increase battery life? if so, how much would be gained in total batt hours?

2) which phone ihas battery life? the HD7 (after tweaking it) or HD2 with WP7?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
They're both the same phones. Only differences are largely cosmetic. Different button layouts because they were designed for different OSes, for example.

The screens and cameras are largely the same. They both have the same sensors in them.

Both of them have rather bad battery life because they have 1230 mAh batteries (standard for late 2010 smartphones was somethere around 1500 mAh, though a few phones had 1400)..

Both of them have pretty bad speakers, but the HD2 has front-mounted speakers which makes it a better media player, IMO. The HD7 speakers are forgetable. Earbud quality is decent, though.

HD2 has way better build quality than the HD7. The casing is first rate quality. The Battery cover is very nice. It has real buttons. The HD7 has 3 capacitive buttons. Teh physical buttons (power/camera/volume rocker) are all rather flimsy feeling and the volume rocker sort of moves a bit (probably by design, but it doesn't feel good). It often feels like you have to press the Power and Camera buttons more than once to get a response.

The screen is responsive on both phones, but it's a low quality TFT LCD display that is literally unusable in direct sunlight.

If you want WP7 there's no reason to get the HD2. You're just going to be frustrated waiting for hacked patches to get released. Just get the HD7.

But if you had choice in carrier I'd get a Focus over the HD7. If you're stuck on T-Mobile, look into the DVP. It's a factorably better phone than the HD7 - camera notwithstanding...

The latest update they sent to the HD7 seems to have degraded battery life factorably. The other day I took my HD7 out with em adn never used it... After about 3 hours my battery was half dead (conditioning a battery by letting it drain is useless and a myth for Li-Ion batteries).
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No, they are not the same LCD's. HD2 has a 16bit Color LCD while the HD7 has a 24bit Color LCD. Also, the HD7 works just fine in direct sunlight for me & the build quality is good IMHO... My only worry is the battery door, I fear the clips may break in time if you remove the door a lot.

See pic for example of difference;
[Windows Phone 7 General] koolxx:
but lets say on the hd7 you turn off wifi, 3g, bluetooth, gps, push notifications, and reduce brightness. realistically, how many hours can you expect from it?
[Windows Phone 7 General] tai4de2:
That's a software issue, not a hardware one.

A given program in a given build of WP7 will display at the same bit depth on either device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] eternalemb:
i use auto brightness, location on, 3G and WiFi (most of the day), 2 push email accounts set to notify when received, HTC hub and weatherbug using push every hour, occasional texting and emails, some calls, editing documents in Office sometimes, checking Facebook every now and then, and music when in the car and get from 10 to 10 most days, sometimes getting critical battery life notification and sometimes not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Nope, it's hardware...

HD2 (TFT-LCD capacitive touchscreen, 65K colors)

HD7 (TFT-LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors)

HD7S (TFT-Super-LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors)
[Windows Phone 7 General] tsmith90:
I like the HD7 the best
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I meant the type of LCD used on them is the same. The TFT LCD screen HTC uses on the HD2/HD7 is terrible compared to the AMOLED or Super AMOLED used in the DVP or Focus.

Windows Mobile 6.5 doesn't/didn't have support for 24-Bit color, anyways, so putting a 24/32-bit panel in it is a waste of money and would have added absolutely no value to the device. The OS only supports 65k colors, the same way it only supported VGA video recording and that's why the camera in the HD2 is crippled (by the OS).

Furthermore, (alluding to your later post), you do realize that TFT and LCD are the same, right? It's actually TFT LCD, all together: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TFT_LCD

In any case, it doesn't matter. I'm referring to the type of display used (which, given what type it is, matters way more than how many colors it supports given there are equivalently priced devices with better build quality and much better screen tech on them - we all know they are equivalently speced otherwise barring storage size). The type of display used on each is TFT LCD and apart from color depth support, they are basically identical.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
In that case why do you want a phone? I'm not going to entertain this question with a response because this is a useless use case to even consider.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
@OP If you're on AT&T, I suggest waiting for the HD7S. Otherwise the HD7 IMHO is better than the HD2. I personally plan to buy a HD7S screen to put in my T-Mobile HD7 once they become available on Ebay.

Once again, see;

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13935806&postcount=7

The HD2's TFT LCD only supports 65K colors aka 16 bit while the HD7/HD7S supports 16M colors. Nothing to do with the software. WM 6.5 does have a registry somewhere to make it support 24bit color. I've done it before granted it made no difference as the screen can't display 24 bit.

EDIT: Article on msdn about WinCE aka WM 6.5 supporting 24 & 32 bit color;

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsmobile/archive/2005/09/07/462187.aspx

PS: TFT (Thin-Film transistor) is not LCD, it is a type of LCD, AMOLED uses TFT too...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
I wasn't trying to define TFT for you. I was telling you that you're wrong for trying to interpret GSM Arena specs literally. Both devices have TFT LCD displays. That is all. I don't care what the definition is. I just care what it actually is. Saying one is TFT and one is LCD is misleading to people who actually don't know that they are technically identical outside of color depth - which they are. That's all that matters to me. Your insistence on talking about color depth doesn't matter. The fact is: Independent of color depth, the screens are the same and they're terrible screens compared to the Super LCD, AMOLED, Super AMOLED, Super AMOLED Plus, and IPS displays being used liberally these days.

Crappy screen is crappy screen. It if was a 32-bit 1080p screen I would still make the same conclusion :P

I removed everything else because you're too tunnel vision to actually see what I was talking about and are going on about a fairly non-factor detail.

Ciao.

Cute Addendum: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-support-troubleshooting/122808-droid-x-screen-very-washed-out.html

Screen Type in the Droid X: Very similar to the HD2/HD7. A bit better, but not by much at all. All these TFT LCD screens share the same issues :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
Not going to entertain the question with a response eh?

That's funny because I appear to be reading a useless response posted entirely with the intention of provoking a reaction.

This is the kind of crap that needs to stop in this forum. The op has asked about the differences between 2 devices and the thread is turning into a "who's got a bigger e-peen" contest, thinly veiled as a discussion about LCD screens.

Back on topic please.

Sent From My Fingers To Your Face......
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The response makes perfect sense. Its useless to measure smartphone battery life with everything turned off, and such a measurement is useless.

Sorry you missed it...
[Windows Phone 7 General] conantroutman:
Would have been a reasonable response............

Your insistence on trying to belittle the OP is what I was objecting to......

Or did I miss something??

I will not be dragged into a back and forth on this, if you want to respond to a question then respond with a simple answer, not one thats wrapped in a sarcastic opinion.

Im not calling you out personally on this, you are by no means the only person around here that does. You were however the first one I found today.

If you wish to reply then please do so via PM as this thread has been derailed enough. However, do not hold your breath for a response because as I said, this is not up for debate and I will not be drawn into an argument.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Oh yeah, I personally like the hardware buttons on the HD7. On my previous devices, when taking it out of my pocket. I'd accidentally hit a button, but that's not the case on the HD7. The only thing that took some getting used to is the 2 step camera button. The capacitive buttons are a little too sensitive though. I accidentally hit than a lot. Sometime I swear I never even touched the button lol.

As for 3G/WiFi/BT & Battery, I use both 3G & WiFi a lot & get pretty good battery life even on the latest update. Well considering it's a smartphone. I've gotten 8 hrs with very little drain, granted I use it less than most people.

Only thing I miss, is a hardware keyboard. The SIP maybe nice, but nothing beats a good hardware keyboard.

The speaker volume is kind of disappointing. It's loud with some things while almost can't hear other things.

The camera is a disappointment, but I have a digital camera for that. 720p doesn't look 720p at all.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
So a 100HP V4 NA Honda engine and a 200HP V4 NA Honda engine are largely the same because they are both inferior to a 400HP Porsche B6 TT engine? Despite giving noticeably different results?

How about to fulfill the primary role of a phone - to make and receive calls. I know I have been in situations when I really need to conserve battery because I am stuck in a remote location and I need to get calls.

koolxx,

If you want a moddable phone that you will switch OSes on then get the HD2. If you want to only run Windows Phone then get the HD7. You will have to lie/cheat/steal to activate the XBL Services on an HD2 and have problems with updates. A new HD7 on the unlocked market is very reasonable too, similar in price to the HD2 anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Which phone are you going to get Koolxx?
[Windows Phone 7 General] koolxx:
hi etemalamb. so i'm sure that with all those features turned off batt can be extended to 24 hours.

and theres a phenomenon that occurs with batteries over a long preiod of time. i think its called "hashing" or "rehashing". this is when the battery gets used to the heat after being used a lot and its actually extended with much less drain. weird but true.
[Windows Phone 7 General] koolxx:
hi nick.. good question. i was thinking about getting iphone 4. but its screen is a bit too small. i got an hd2 with wp7 on it. but the battery is alright... not great. i read that hd7 has better battery life than hd2. so i'm thinking about getting an hd7. and i think wp7 is the best phone o/s out there now, better than ios.

Also, in case you didnt know.. Kernels may state 1.5Ghz and such but that doesnt mean YOUR phone will be able to go that high. Every device is different so every device's has a different max frequency.

Ok, that makes sense I'm using the EB 1.04F trinity kernel +48 and was using pimp my cpu and I can overclock just fine there but I wanted to try out setcpu out.

On a side note, my g2x has been highly unstable after leaving it sit while using pimp my cpu. However, I created a .txt file with clock frequencies and I was able to use setcpu with little to no side effects. But after all, what is ocing even good for? Benchmarks... Mt4g, n1, g1, mt3g, hd2. Tried ocing on all of them and didn't see a noticeable day to day difference compared to stock frequency...

Ok so i got my brand new replacement evo yesterday and of course the first thing I did was root it and did a nandroid backup! And then restored my previous rom I had backed up well I needed to back up my sprint vm through titanium on the sense rom and so today I went in to restore it after wiping data/cache/davlik and after restoring the sense rom will not go past the boot screen! Is there something I can do to get this back and going past the boot screen? HELP!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
It's not safe to restore nandroid backup from a previous phone, at least you made a backup first, restore it, then DELETE all the nandroid from your previous phone. Start over, but keep the titanium backups, they safe

agreed agreed agreeeeed. restore the backup u made with the new phone, then start over.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LadyCavi85:
Ok now im confused...because I think one of you misunderstood me. Ok I now get I shouldnt restore a nandroid backup from a previous phone. But ok so if I delete all my backups (except for the sprint sense rom) will that rom reboot then? So i will be able to redo the process?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffm922:
yes, if you have a backup of the stock rom from your NEW phone, you can restore that one, all other backups you had saved from your previous phone aren't going to work. So you can delete them, your titanium backups of your apps will still work, just your rom backups wont, so yes, u will be able to restore the stock rom backup that you made on the new phone, hope that made sense... lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If I understand right, you already restored the backup from your previous phone. This could cause issues with the system not restoring the previous backup. Go back and wipe data, cache and dalvik then try restoring the backup from your current phone.

If you still can't restore, try flashing the stock rooted rom.

Once you get it working, I'd check to see if 4G works. If you don't live in a 4G coverage area, run the RSA key checker app and make sure you didn't bork your wimax.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaan kak:
So this morning my phone (co-incidentally with my mom taking my upgrade and using it for her account) stopped sending/receiving texts and calls, but had proper 3G data connectivity. I called sprint, they had me reboot/batter pull/reprovision phone, and upon reboot I could make full use of my voice service and make texts, but now my data is down.

The reprovisioning code I was then given (##3204# or something like that) didn't do anything, in that it didn't bring up the reprovisioning menu or anything like that, and when I was told to manually update my phone, the option to do so (under menu->settings->about phone->system update or whatever) was missing. I just have status, legal, and battery status, but no update or anything like that. I'm rooted and running CM7.0.0 final, and haven't had any problems like this in the few months I've had this phone.
