Good Day everybody

I need to ask few questions so please someone help me out

First I need to change the colour of the the bubbles in messages. The Sent and received messages both are in the same coulor. For example if i choose red color i need the sent in red and received in dark red. I like it that way. Can someone help me through that?

Secondly can someone please give the link to battery status app like in pdateimas ROM and the file manager.

Plz if someone can help me i will be very thankful.:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hjhjhj:
first, messaging colors is what you get...no options. second, why don't you look in pdaj's thread for the links to the apps. it's right there in the first post at the top...read it thoroughly.

---------- Post added at 10:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

yes, we know about the storage unlock app...the point was for wp7 to not lock the sdcard as a defaulr.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] whistler-nl:
It's not an app, it's a package you add to the rom? (i'm not talking about the 'storage lock' app).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] gianmich:
i just flashed this rom and it asks for an activation code:confused: i am new to wp7 so can someone tell me what to do??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TKETZ196:
you must contact Microsoft for the activation code. it is generated by your mobile phone number. the best way to do that is via online chat, rather than sitting on the phones and waiting for someone. once you get the code, plug it in and you are done with full Live services activated. i dont have the URL address handy but there should be a link somewhere in the forum.

Win7 & Phone Version Australian T9193

Okay on to the topic at hand, I looked through the main page of the OP here and did not see if requirements are for just one version of the HD2. Below are a few images of the two phones we have I just took a few shake and save images of my Phone. I posted this info to make it easier than type out all the info from the phone.

But with this info at hand, also I should add that both are the Tesla Australian versions that do work here in the U.S.A. with AT&T will I be able to install Install This version of Win7? Also if I'm able to install, can still use pimBakup to restore all my info / data?

Thanks much in advance.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tower_gilead:
Looks ok. Just verify radio compat and follow destructions on page one. On a side note, I haven't thought about Manilla in ages.... Meeeemries.....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lantern20:
T9193 works well with this rom. I've been using it for a long time. The rom is no longer supported by the author.

PIMBackup is not a WP7 app, so it will not run on WP7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Thank you for that assistance, not being avle to use PimBackup would be an issue, as I would have to transfer everything by hand ome item at time and very time consumming, unless there is an app out there that can do it much quicker.

Yeah I know these phones are a bit old compaired to what is out now and updated / changed at this time.

Thanks much

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hjhjhj:
not sure...all the other chefs have it so wp7 doesn't lock the sdcard.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Just a little bit stuck here

I have searched and read so much already and I'm about to just hang it up

and just update my Phone rom one of NRGZ28's new updated roms.

I have read through two install guide's at the links below and one makes mention of the

files that I am unable to locate, as I mentioned below with a link included, the other makes no mention of same files.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246040

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=971478

As of right now This is what I have so far

OSBUILD.CAB:

7004 to 8107.Autoinstall.rar <-- This one is a bit confusing when I unpacked it, there were two other folders 7403-7720 & tools, then when

I open the 7403-7720 folder there is another tools folder and both the main and secondary folders have a lot of language .cab files do all these have to be installed?

7004-7403-16mn.rar <--| same here as well If I

7403-7720-45mn.rar <--| do it separately with each of these.

7720-7740-6mn.cab

7740 to 8107.rar

WP7-Update-Cab-Sender.rar <-- this used to apply the above files 7004 to 8107 Correct? Unless I use the Auto install?

SP1-XBMOD.YUKI.CAB <-- I take it this Service pack 1 correct?

File/XBMOD.YUKI.XAP <-- Has HTC Battery Tool, HTC Compass HD2, OperaMobile10, TouchExplorer?

TomXAPInstaller <-- I have this as well. Has anyone ever used it?

dotNetFx40_Full_x86_x64.exe <-- already installed on my PC Running win7 Ultimate.

operatorpkg_ATT.cab <--not sure I will need this? But I know that if I do it will one of the last items.

DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab <----------------| These are for Unlocking/Locking the SD card, if needed?

DEV_STORAGELOCK_REMOVE.cab <--|

DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF.rar

HD2_Updatable_XBmod_Yuki_v2.1.zip <-- The main Rom WP7 as I understand it.

RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe <-- And this has to be installed first?

ZuneSetupPkg.exe <-- used to register and apply any updates that come down the pipe If I understand correctly? And is install on my PC + Phone?

WP7 SDK <-- I have the vm_web.exe as well as the full Install iso image.

I have looked for the files here http://xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/ several times, as well as searching the forums, unless the there has been a name change

I still cannot find the these two (HD2-7720fix & DeviceProvisioning.cab) files, unless there is no need for them anymore?

Tango update from microsoft

Hi there,

does anyone have an idea when the Tango update will be available from Microsoft?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
It looks like you have everything needed, device provisioning is not needed since you are updating via cabs. 7720 fix irrc is a fix for 7720 and you will be updating to 8107 so I think not needed.

You have chosen an excellent ROM which is fast and smooth. However I can't help feeling that for your first try at WP7, a ready made ROM might suit you better and would be more up to date with newer features. And also much easier to install, with more chance of support from other users (although there are still a few ppl happily using this ROM).

Best of luck whichever course you choose.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lantern20:
I think you can transfer your contacts by syncing with hotmail on winmo and then when you log in with wp7 it will sync your contacts and maybe your calender (I can't remember). The only thing that can't be transferred is SMS messages.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Good post, can't remember either;)

It would still be worth backing up your wm sms, as it may be possible to put them in wp7 at some point.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hjhjhj:
that should work as long as you use the same hotmail account for both.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Are you talking about Phone Contacts? As in your Phone book as it's called or E-mail contacts? If it's the latter then that would not be much of an issue as all the contacts are on the sim card already.

::Thinking Out loud::

As for the sms messages, it would be a bit time consumming, but (1) at time copy / paste in to an e-mail and send it to Self :) or a family members e-mail and then have it sent back. If they really needed to be saved that is.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
What If???

I figured most of it out so far on my own, did not mean chew any ones ear off.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tower_gilead:
This rom has been used by me for since inception. It is mega awesome.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zepretender:
Sorry for the newbie question but... Since I've installed WP7, my SD Card no longer work when I try to access with my computer.

Even with an app like Gparted. :(

Is there a way to restore it ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] whistler-nl:
I'm sure m8. There are two things, the packages to force wp7 NOT to encrypt the card as it would do on any original wp7 device (Only useable when you cook a rom).

Then there is the APP that unlocks the card for people running the yuki rom and want to flash another rom that uses un-encrypted sdcard (like dft rom).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
How can you tell that the SDcard is locked / encrypt?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
You get the urge to post something like this...

:p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
First off this my first time even trying to install WP7 on any phone, and sorry if I'm not a Dev, I'm still trying to learn so, NO it was not Urge !!! it was an honest Question.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Sorry m8, I was trying to be funny and failing.

The fact is that the way to tell if the sd card is encrypted is to put the card in pc and it won't show up. Even with gparted in ubuntu.

I thought I answered two questions in one.:o

Edit; it is a security feature to keep your data on sd card safe from thieves.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zepretender:
Ok, I have an HUGE issue. I'v tried to install Android on SD. So I've partitionned SD, installed all cabs to unlock... But Android doesn't start... AND WINDOWS PHONE SO !

My SD card is corrupted !

But I can't format it, I can't do nothing. Please, help me !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Did you set both partitions as Primary not Logical? (Use minitool-partition wizard to set as primary)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zepretender:
Card is not recognized by system (even in Linux).

I've flashed WP7 again after ClearSD MBR.

But I need to get back my card...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Sorry for my previous post, only relevant if you manually partition your sd.

See xboxmod's post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17306984&postcount=3, hope it helps.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
I apologize for snapping back at you like that, I should not have and even though I did not come off sounding like it, but I do have sense of humor.

It was just that I was getting very frustrated and was sitting at my PC trying to figure everything out and reading through the main sections of the thread here, as well as the two guides that I found.

And applying the updates with the tools that XBmod / Yuki have put together and getting failed message after Failed message, and the Chevron unlock tool now working, till I found a post in another thread. Saying that all internet connections need to be off on the host PC and even though it did not say to do so, I turned off the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on phone and then I was able to get Chevron to work.

Well at least if I run the Chevron unlock tool now, my options are to RE-Lock and so I guess that means that the Unlock worked? Even getting the .xaps installed was giving me failed messages, I tell ya that I must have Fumbled around for God knows how long, but I do know that I was at my desk sitting at the PC for close to 20 hours, Honest Ingin.

And after all that I got everything working, well the call quality is Very good, text message with images works fine, I did a few things out of order, but nevertheless the Phone is up and running. And my wife needs my 13 yr old daughter to help her learn how to use the Phone :D But for some reason, the HTC Live tile is missing. :confused:

And when taking pictures, they come with a strong green hue, changed the light setting to incandescent now gives a Blue Hue, that is the only few things that are still not up to par, but The unlock tile is there :D

I know a bit long winded here, and I thank you for carifying the locked SD card question. Now I just gotta see how the battery holds out, as I have seen some peolpe state that they had issues with it draining to fast.

PS: I even scared my Dog a few times as I yelled @#%$^&*@#

---------- Post added at 04:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------

I understand now and can see why they made it that way, but at least there sould hae been an option with a pass code / password so that the owner of the device was able to get around that. And with a warning message that unless you have a working knowledge of what your doing it would be un-safe to proceed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Rick_1995:
How is battery life on this rom ? I've tried the Pdaimatejam's v8, but the battery there without airplane mode is horrible, 4 hours and out from complete charge whereas on airplane mode it lasted me 2+ days :eek:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
Hi Rick_1995, I think the battery with this ROM is good and can possibly be improved by different combinations of hardware and software radios (eg http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1287070) with or without camera trick. This is certainly the most stable WP7 ROM around still.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Okay got the Phone activated earllier today, the link I found did not work so for all that may need it here is the link http://gethelp.live.com/en-us/Pages/wp.aspx once on the page look for Accounts and Billing (top left red tile) mouse over it and click contact us, from there just follow the directions. It's chat based, If you try to do it with the contact us link on the phone, it will just call your cell provider and you don't want to do that.

Just do it through the link above through the chat based contact, and I bought the Phone off of ebay :)

they will ask you for the Cell provider and the IMEI # and

Well now that the phone is activated, and was able to log in to live, it stopped pulling in e-mail and gave an error. "Not Updated" but when I connect it to the PC and try checking for updates in Zune, it just gives the message the Phone is up to date (8107) how do I go about correcting this issue.

Also when I ckick the radio Link/tab option it shows a blank screen with the word radio at the top.

Oh and the File explorer link/tab option is now missing after I installed TouchXplorer.xap as well as after the Chevron unlocker worked and the DEV_STORAGELOCK.cab took hold. I did install the HTC Battery Tool & (HTC compass <--also now missing?), could this be why all this is happening?

Any ideas or hints are welcome.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cuzzo94:
yes i did those steps, but it's not the first time i flash a rom, i'm using another one right now and i had other wp7 roms in past, this worked too, but when i did the uptate at the last reboot of the process i got stuck there, at the screen with all the tiles, right after the boot sound, so the phone is ready.

maybie it's due the sd, because with this rom worked, when i installed another one it told me sd not working, now i can't read it with any os. i think it's broken...

i'll try with the 8gb one

do i have to unlock the sd before install this rom?

the problem is that there is no cab to update my version... help XD
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
I personally applied all the updates with the auto installer that XBmod made and my install is at 8107, or you can use the Cab sender and do it one at a time, I did not use zune for the updates.

Any way to fix mine? Xd
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Can you boot in to Wp7 at all ?

If not Then I would take it that you may have to Reflash the rom once your at the magldr scren vloume button down to option 5 and hit send buttion to get to the usb flash-waiting screen and flash Wp7 and start over, it will wipe the install you have now and reinstall the rom. then used the link to the auto update install.

If someone else has better idea, by all means correct me as needed.

there a is one-shot flash after flashing v2.1 to get you to v7740. find it at xbmod's ftp found either at the beginning of this thread or in the sp1 thread.

here it is http://xboxmod.sylvester20007.com/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cuzzo94:
well i sent some hours updating it yesterday, i'lol try for some minutes to finish this work, in case of fail i'll use that , thank you :)

however now i'm at 7720, so i can finish using the last 2 cabs, so i'm sure to complete it XD

i have to ask a few things:

first of all i noticed that sometimes it looks like it doesn't catch the touch poperly, for example while unlocking the pone or swiping the tiles the animation gos slowly even with a quick geture like if it didn't catch all the gesture, could it be related to touch driver (it happens only sometimes)? should i flash them too? because also the multitouch has some problem, especially pinch to zoom.

the othr thing is that when i listen t music from the speaker the soung coming out is like the one that comes out from only 1 headphone, it look like it cuts out some sounds, for example while listening to a song wich has the voice and a low sound base, the base was completely missing
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] SgtdreTheArchangel:
Thank you for getting back to me, it is much appreciated.

I have tried incandescent, but now I have a bigger issue, Massive Battery Drain, and it is so erratic that it goes from say -9 to -160 to -300 to -200, I even tried the camera trick, I tried removing the Sim card after turning it off & turning back on then putting the sim card back in and turn on again, I tried removing the SD card, but w7 will not boot completely, then I tried the Video camera trick, by doing 30 seconds of video and stopping then just hit the home button leaving video camera on.

so far all night battery drain was -6 to -9, this trick seemed to work, but I'm thinking that it may have been the Flash processs, I may have missed a step and I know I did the Sp1 install out of order. So I just might RE-Flash the rom, and strat over, and I have read in one of the many battery threads that flashing the 2.14.50*** radio might work also, as some stated that it worked for them. So I now have radio 2.14.50 & 2.12.50 and will try and see if that helps any, and I will also try your suggestion to see how it works out. In the mean time I will be keep my eye on Cotulla's thread and the Wp7 flavor that he is working on, and trying to get all the bugs out of. Looks promising.

Dre
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] cuzzo94:
well, i finally update to thew last version and installed the sp1 and now all works great!

Only one thing (don't kill me XD) am i the only one who noticed that delay between the switch on of the screen and the possibility to unlock it? for 1-2 sec it doesent respond to the touch input
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hjhjhj:
you shouldn't have delays. did you do a hard reset after all the wp7 updates? what is the rated speed of your sd card?

you should always hard reset after you complete flashing all the updates... or with any custom rom.

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 AM ----------

v2.1 is not the cause of your so-called drain. those numbers you see are only temporary depending on the processes that are running. the numbers go down as background processes complete and turn off or go into standby mode.

everyone complains about battery drain with this or any other wp7 custom rom, but it takes a few charge cycles after a flash for the battery and the os to become synchronized. battery drain is typically fast with wp7 on the hd2. usually i get about 8 hours of normal usage with a few phone calls, reading and responding with several email accts, and texting. on a slow day with 1 or 2 calls, couple of texts, and email i can get about 12-13 hrs on a charge.

besides, your battery usage is all based on your apps and processes that run in the background that you may or may not be able to control. also, you should always hard reset after the flashing process is complete. hard reset synchs the os with the hardware.

---------- Post added at 05:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 AM ----------

the green tint happens on all wp7 implementations on the hd2. it's due to wp7 was never intended for the hd2 and thus no native hd2 camera drivers exist in wp7. wp7 does the best it can to approximate the driver needed by the hd2 camera with flash.
