[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] yugoport:
Professional or not I will donate 30$ to 50$ (depending on the success) to put everything working, specially camera,multitouch and Bluetooth drain in standby..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Developer is last thing you will need. The first most important - get documentation from HTC fully describing HD2 hardware(ports adresses, interrupts and other hardware parameters) in details. And tools as well. This has to be hardware device driver programming. It takes a lot of time and effort even with documentation, but imposible without. It is not web or graphics or kind of this programming.

So first collect money to pay HTC for docs:). Or better idea - collect money to pay HTC to develop perfect drivers:).

That is why this and other threads like this will lead to nowhere without documentation.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
I know, electronic is my field, but if someone who knows how to do it, decompiles drivers, he can get the needed informations. I know ASM is not easy and it's hard to understand what the code does, that's why, this time, we need a professional developer payed to do so instead of the (maybe) community developers which can work on this only in the spare time.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Your theory sounds good, but ...

Did you ever try to disassemble any hardware driver for such a complex device? Without anything...

Even if someone will get some information back from reverse engineering existing drivers it won't be complete enough to modify/make drivers perfectly working. It is all guessing without proper information - results are unknown. Who will pay for unknown results?

Possibility is only find contacts with HTC to get docs. DTF probably has such contacts(i don't know how deep are contacts)

All others ways i think(based on my experience in reverse engineering) just dreams and waste of time....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
Why? If he manage to understand how the hardware works, he can do that. As I said it's an hard way, but i don't think HTC is going to give us their private specs.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Because world made this way....

You can't get good from bad drivers- simple if like this way....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
If DFT has made those semi-working drivers and, as you think, they have contacts with HTC, maybe they are still working on them?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
DFT didn't do any drivers for HD2. Drivers were made by HTC for internal testing purpose only. that is why they are so buggy - not finished. DFT found the way how to get that test ROM and drivers from HTC. And surely they have contacts with HTC - official/unofficial i don't know.

P.S. i don't think anyone working on drivers - for this long period of time(from first test ROM to Mango) we don't see any kind of progress.

Looks like all serious developers forgot about HD2(exept Xboxmod). Sad, but it is life.... A lots of new devices with good drivers around(they are not so unique as HD2, but devs don't care)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Jerome.Ramos:
RE: Already Stable

I don't know about the others but Yuki and Xboxmod's back to the future rom does wonders...I am currently dual booting back to the future rom with SD American Android 2.3.5. I have no bugs to report with the back to the future mango rom while dual booting back and forth with american android. I currently just adjusted the notification sounds by researching and reading threads found here...all of which was given for free...J
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pirlano:
i think Cotulla is able to write drivers, he done it for android/linux kernel, he knows hw and sw very well, and i think that donations to DFT team are better than find a new dev.

DFT is very experienced, and they done a lot for us, from linux kernel contribution, magldr, firsts android and wp7 ROMs, and they are in contacts with HTC.

They done a lot for us for free, they spent a lot time working to improve our hd2, it's time to say thanks to DFT :)

i will donate 20€ for fully fixed HD2 drivers:

1)multitouch

2)battery meter

3)green tint camera

4)high drain on standby

Cotulla contact is https://twitter.com/CotullaCode

or http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=600525

It's last twit is: Yes. In our future plans for LEO: DFT Hornet, DFT Legacynd, DFT Ultrafruit and DFT MAGLDR200. Then maybe DFT Legasto...

Donations to Cotulla is the best choise for me :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
What are those projects?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pirlano:
i think a new Desire based Android ROM

a new WP7.5 Mango ROM

a new MAGLDR 2.0

and new tools for WP? :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Cero92:
Let's hope so
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jackrabbit72380:
1)multitouch whats wrong with it?

2)battery meter whats wrong with it?

3)green tint camera fix your settings!

4)high drain on standby dont know whats wrong thare?

i was haveing these problums but i fixed them all!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Are you serious? :D

Especialy funny about multitouch and camera....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lkarmaz2:
$70
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] backlashsid:
what settings ? and how did you fix it ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] gl0b:
Choose candlelight scene mode :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pirlano:
1) try Sonic game (you can download as Demo for free in the Market), or try to pinch to zoom in photo and in browser, multitouch works only if you touch the screen with 2 fingers at the same time, it's really tricky to make it working :(

2)battery meter is a bit different from WM, maybe drivers are not well calibrated

3)i didn't know about candlelight mode, i have to try if this can be fixed with this little trick, but i remember that Android was having the same problem using Desire camera libs (because of different flash)

4)what's wrong? high drain means that's not for daily use :) it last only for half day...i tryed few Radio and it's not for daily use...

i really hope that these bugs will be fixed, multitouch and battery life are too important (for me) :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Candlelight mode(known for many months) doesn't fix camera well enough - pictures are still very crappy. It is driver problem and has no solution - only new drivers will fix it.

Of course camera itself works perfectly on Android and WM6.5.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Stefano_1986_:
yes, I agree
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] yugoport:
Ok..so lets make a fund to donate to dft ..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
haha, your correct, there was another thread where we said the same, there seems to be some assumption that these drivers were made by DFT which is simply not correct, the chances of getting "new" drivers are remote at best.

you cant just "make" a driver, without the correct information, i have an old irda device, its 32 bit, at the time there was huge support from people looking to get it working on a 64 bit windows, and nada. in that instance we had one of the most popular irda devices on a windows platform and no one can do anything about it. here we have a much less used OS on an even lesser used device.

Not saying it cant be done, but you will absolutely need help from HTC or someone at HTC.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pirlano:
i know, but 2 years ago we was stuck with WM65, and no one was thinking about this great support from devs and community, now we got an almost native android and WP7 phone, and don't forget that Cotulla wrote from zero some Android driver (like our touchscreen, without any datasheet on our Elan IC, and no other Android phone use that IC)

i will donate 20€ if these 4 bugs will be fixed, maybe we can do a reward list for Cotulla :)

also audio seems to be too high

and compass, g-sensor seems broken??
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
accelerometer works fine, the audio can be helped with a couple of cabs from xboxmod, they dont make it perfect, in call volume seems to be still too low, but its a lot better, compass hasnt worked (native to wP7 that is) since the start, i believe windows phone didnt have an API (not sure about mango) however, its a bit laggy but check this out, since HTC have access to the hardware its self they dropped this wee bomb shell (an kept it very quiet!) which will access the hardware directly

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DEL7Q88F

Im not going to get pulled in to another long debate on this one, but given thats been what, 1 maybe 2 months since the first thread on this? lets see what the progress is.....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Folow:
20€ for battery drain fix, other problems are not too important for me
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Jerome.Ramos:
RE: Dual Boot

This is possible as I am doing the dual boot already. Just follow the instructions carefully...do research...have the satisfaction that you have read all the instructions and successfully flashed the rom you wanted...all this is just time and patience...I am enjoying back to the future rom as well as american android v2.3.5...windows phone 7 is up to date...just waiting for ice cream to flash...until then...read read and read.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
Tell you what, ill pay £100 to the developer that can get WM booting off a SD card.

Theres more chance of that then making drivers without HTCs help, course im fairly sure WM cant run from SD/RAM that way, technically WM2003se should work but once again we get in to the driver problems.

On a side note, if i ever win the lotto, ill see how much it will cost to bribe HTC in to helping ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] JonnieLasVegas:
I would love that!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] drakepayton:
By "up to date" i assume that means mango? How was this accomplished? I was under the impression that Mango locks down the sd card. Searched for solution. Maybe provide link to thread with instructions? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Finalforce1111:
So how much do we have until now?

And for what?

Can anyone make a little history or resume all donations?

(I am sorry guys but I am very poor at the moment and can't donate :( )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] rubledub:
if your running xbmod/yuki's back to the future ... Xbmod uploaded a partitioning cab to his list to use for dual boot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1250869

And the sdcard is 'locked' using the same kind of windows phone format that it's always done. (it locks the sd for 'security' in case lost or stolen?)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] KevlarTheGreat:
Maybe Possible..

This might night be true but I read somewhere recently that all but 2 of the HD2 drivers for Android are now being compiled from source. If that's true, then the hardware is well known enough to port drivers to WP7. However, maybe people don't know the WP7 driver model well enough to port the drivers...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
That was my point, you can't (yet) just copy an paste a driver from one open sourced os to another closed os, its like fitting a square box in a circle hole
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] napisweet:
Think cotulla was being sarcastic as a result of people asking release dates all the time..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] atrako1973:
its strange that a 4 million user community has no real htc connection ,htc could supply whats needed to know the hardware and start building whats needed to be build, i mean this is what xda is for isnt it?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
im sure HTC reads some of this stuff but its worth remember that is not in their intrests helping this problem. by making the HD2 work like an HD7 would simply mean that we dont buy an HD7 and a whole bunch of old units already purchased and in the supply chain can get converted, thats not going to make them any money, and the argument about us advertising HTC on their behalf or not buying HTC because they didnt help us, is tenuous at best, the reality is that the potential costs far outway the benifits.

Theres probably some legal side to all this too, to use a driver probably needs some licence from the people who made it. who knows though! Happy days!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] DannyBiker:
Agreed. Bottom line : buy yourselves WP7 phones or stick with WM6.5/Android.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Griff1:
As much fun as hacking the hd2 has been its time to realise its always gonna be this way.

Im just weeks away from my HTC Titan and i cant wait.

I'll be keeping my hd2 as backup.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] JROppenheimer:
I have to admit that I am pretty new to WP7. Just flashed it Friday night, updated until 2:00 in the morning, almost went crazy because Mango wouldn't install, but then just out of nothing it did (what made me very happy). I even got my activation key from MS - wich was VERY easy (but I think anything else would be dumb. If people want the OS, give it to them. Raise your market share. Make them used to it).

But I have to say two things:

1. Battery drain sucks ... I will have to do some research on how to fix that, if there is a way.

2. AppQuality in the Market is still lower than in the Android Market. I hope with time, that changes.

I was using MIUI until Friday and I loved it! Compared to any Android Version I used before (and I tried 5 or 6) MIUI just got the best out of the HD2.

But I really like how MS designed wp7. Very clean intuitive OS.

Besides the BatteryDrain I only have a problem with BlueTooth - it just doesn't start sometimes.

I donated to JW for the Miui-Port in the past, and I am totally ready to donate for WP7 developement. I am not talking about one big donation but some smaller ones (constant cash flow).

So - bottom line:

Donation for

BT fix

BatterDrain fix

Last to say: Great port. Thanks for WP7!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Hagenlund:
Wifi needs to be enabled at boot or else bluetooth won't work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
Apply the fix an Bluetooth is fine, as for giving us the os, its not microsofts choice, OEMs an networks would have a fit, yes MS would get market share but OEMs could sell less devices networks couldn't tie you down, and because of that the relationship between all 3 could potentially fall apart, its not worth the risk to Ms. We need HTC to help or someone with the know ledge from HTC.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] mekkelrichards:
Let's set a TOTAL bounty available for whoever can code these drivers. I can give $30.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jhonny:
i have $30 for camera fix

andriod camera is GR8,

thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ca5c4d3:
The issue here is that between WM6.5 and WP7.0 the device driver model has changed from user mode to kernel mode. If someone has the instruction set codes or android device driver source code then I can work on this :)

I washed my mozart in the washing machine and I have been using the HD2 at least until Nokia Lumia 800 comes out.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Deadknight:
I believe android drivers are on kernel, there are lots of open source kernels to dl. However i dont know any driver dvel, so i cannot help you more than this. Also you need latest ddk from microsoft.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] yugoport:
guys, many of the bugs in wp7 are already solved, and we didnt needed to find professional devs, i hope that everyone keep their words about donations, they are a huge help for our devs, i will certainly donate what I said here, because camera and multitouch are almost solved..my last bug is bluetoth battery drain :p

[Eee Pad Transformer General] al2x:
My power button on my TF has became so recessed, I'm scared I need to RMA it.

Ever since I first got it, it definitely didn't have a "spring" to it, it kinda was always a bit mushy and didn't come back when I pressed it in.

Sadly, now it's to the point that the power button requires a bit more of work to turn it on than usual. Just comparing to my iPod touch, the power button is completely solid always comes right back up, and my Asus EeePad is just so weak.

Anyone else have this issue? :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Paran0idAndr0id:
No. Sounds like a faulty unit. I guess you should rma it. Anyways you should had exchanged it while you could've. As you say it was mushy straight out the box

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppete81:
Hello together,

yesterday i opened my HTC Desire to change the LED-Flashlight, because it was defect.

Now, the camera doesn`t work anymore. When I open an app, wich uses the cam, the display goes black, and the app is forced to be closed.

I also tried other ROMs etc.

After that, I took out the camera module and cleaned it. But it is still the same problem.

Is there any method to test, if the camera module is defect, or any other possibility wich can do that error?

I am from germany, and do not know any other person using a HTC desire, to test his camera module in my HTC.

Is there any app wich test all modules in the Desire?

Or do I have to order a new module to test it?

Thank you and best regards

Pete
