Bought LG DVD Player and installing Windows 7

I tried to create a USB Stick with Windows 7 but that was not a succes. So i bougt a LG DVD Player and on this moment i'm installing the Windows 7 BETA on my HTC Shift.

First time I installed Windows 7 i saw the bluetooth was not found. I did not know how to turn on bluetooth so i installed Windows Vista again and turned Bluetooth on again. Now for the second time i am installing Windows 7 again. The first time i could see a great difference between Vista and Windows 7. Most importend thing is ofcorse the speed. Windows 7 is very very fast!

So next try.....

Maybe some hints would be great!
[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
Windows 7 installed with external DVD player!

Well i installed Windows 7 on my HTC Shift and everything is working like it should be!

Only the control center is not working but that is a known issue ofcorse. Drivers installed from last HTC update exept audio.

So for the upcoming Windows 7 users. Put on your Bluetooth en Wireless network before installing Windows 7.

Installed Windows Office 2003, no problems.

Some whishes:

I'd like to connect the switch setting button to resolution switchlauncher and the other butten to an other application where i can disable bluetooth and maybe wireless network.

Remove the Message for testing purposes only inclusive the version number. Can't find the right solution for this one.
[Shift Development] Huuk:
Im trying to set those keys too but havent found any solution.. but for the message of testing only you can use a watermark fixer... theres also a patch called rearm fix that fixes that 30 day limit... so search watermark fix and rearm crack from some torrent sites and you can solve those...
[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
Well i solved the 30 day limit but had no luck with the version number fix.

So if anyone has a solution, please let me know..
[Shift Development] Pfeffa-rah:
By my knowledge it has NOT been done XP...

Did I miss something?

I searched the forum for it, but couldn't find anything....

Everything is working allright in XP but there is no control center.

If I am wrong, please correct me!

In fact I would be very happy tobe wrong :)

What also can be done to enable WIFI & Bluetooth without VISTA!

This is a nice trick to remember!

After I installed Windows Seven I saw a new ROM (Gummy) was available. After installing this ROM I had a big problem. Wireless and Bluetooth is being disabled and i can't enable these devices with Windows Seven. HTC Shgctrl is not working i tried something new!

SOLUTION:

I started up (after free downloading) UBUNTU from DVD (might also be done with usb, but i don't know how). Everything is working good but no wifi of bluetooth is enabled. Then is started POFS hsect-htc-shift-embedded-controller-toolkit (http://pof.eslack.org/blog/2008/05/31/hsect-htc-shift-embedded-controller-toolkit/). By copying the debian file to usb and starting this file from USB. After installing you can find the program within the menu from UBUNTU. With this program you can enable wifi and bluetooth. Then restart the system and within Windows you have WIFI and Bluetooth up and running again.

After installing Windows Mobility Center (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=129410&d=1226545498 with thanx to joshuauy) you can even stop and start the wifi and bluetooth within Windows Seven.

Well i'm very glad with my HTC Shift now inclusive GPS on mobile.

It's working very very fast!
[Shift Development] joy.d:
you can use from windows side for easy install the wubi installer:

See: http://wubi.sourceforge.net/

so you have a nice dual booting, that is very easy to installing ;-)
[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
True but this will install UBUNTU to the HTC.

When you don't want to install or UBUNTU than it can be a nice solution for enabeling wifi and bluetooth.

And does it also work with windows Seven, i did not try that.
[Shift Development] joy.d:
Ohh :-) I understand :-) You are the Allerbeste :-)
[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
Nop i'm just a noob but i will try everything :)

I have installed build 7000. It wasnt a breeze as it was on my thinkpad. on third try it did get install but I had to use safe mode once to disable one of the display adapters. otherwise I got repeated BSOD.

I have treied numerous times but touch screen simple doesnt work. I have follwed all methods listed so far but in vain.

[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
After first install the touchscreen is not working. That's correct.

After installation you have to install the drivers. But please install them with Troubleshoot compatibility and turn on the options The program worked in earlier versions of Windows but won't install or run now and The program requires additional permissions.

Reboot everytime when you asked to do that, then there won't be problems. The only driver that is not needed for installation is the Audio Driver.

And remember the Aero is only working in the lowest resolution. This problem still exists. So please after installation the first thing that you have to do is to choose a theme without Aero!
[Shift Development] Pfeffa-rah:
Hi,

I installed seven today.

I did run into some problems but all the awnsers are in this forum. (!)

The 1024x600 took some puzzling...

Here is what I did to get it to work.

I did the Reboot-F8-640x480 thing first, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Then I installed the Resolution Switcher but it didn't switch resolution although it did map the key! I know it did because it didn't play the error sound but showed a busy cursor for half a second.

Then I just installed the VGA driver from the HTC site. Seven warned me it was an OLDER driver, but I went and installed it anyway.

Even without rebooting afterward, it worked right away :) (No aero...)

So, Now I can really try it out the next few days :)

I'll let you know what ik think and since I have dual boot with XP now, I'll compare it with that.

Greetz,

[Shift Development] Hileotech:
Hi everybody!

I followed this thread's step-by-step-monkey-proof guide to install W7 on Shift and I succeeded in everything BUT resolution change.

I followed both the "reboot-F8-etc" thing and the "ResolutionChange-Drivers-Etc" thing, and all I got was a blue screen (BSD... now I understand what this means...).

I can easily figure out that my BSD is due to Aero interface, but... how can I disable it completely? Sorry for this nooooooooob question, but I can't find a single control to switch from "Aero" to "Without Aero". should I disable all aero effects one by one? If so, which are they?

Thanks... and sorry for this stupid question...

:cool:
[Shift Development] the_LeXX:
Hi Hileotech

it isnt called aero anymore, so just right click on dektop -> personalize -> and choose the first "easy of access" Theme.

afterwards you can switch the resolution via shift button or up to 1152x864 via the W7 interface
[Shift Development] Hileotech:
Thank you for your answer.

Just one more question or, better, experience.

I re-installed W7 after BSD (see above...) and I connected my ****f to an external display: it worked without any trick at 1240x768... I checked screen proprieties of Shift's inbuilt screen and it correctly reports 1024xwhatever.

So: is it a problem of VGA card or of screen/display drivers?

I'm not so good in PC's to answer to this question, but you people should be able!

Thanks again

Resolution Change Button is working

I used DriverMax based on the following information.

http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/789-windows-7-driver-solution.html

The results is better than the previous process because resolution change button works fine. Also, I don't need to use internet connection sharing in window mobile (W7 automatically negotiates with WM).

Still no luck with aero and control center.:confused:
[Shift Development] JaWe:
Hi, which drivers did you save from vista and move to seven?
[Shift Development] joy.d:
the drivers, that you can download from htc homepage.

but for the experts: why you don´t use the drivers of http://support.intel.com ?

Infos zum alternativen Auflösung 1919x1200

http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/user-community-for-intel-graphics-technology/topic/57374/

Sorry, it took a bit to get back to you. 1920x1200 should be doable with 915GM. Make sure you're appending 37 01 to the end, and possibly tweak the DTD so ay BIOS limitations are worked around:

28 3C 7E A2 70 B0 23 40 30 20 36 00 06 44 21 00 00 1A

For 1918x1200 insert

28 3C 7E A2 70 B0 23 40 30 20 36 00 06 44 21 00 00 1A

Also 1919x1200 can be used:

28 3C 7F A1 70 B0 23 40 30 20 36 00 06 44 21 00 00 1A

I'd grab DTDCalc and go to the "Reverse Calculation" tab. Insert

28 3C 80 A0 70 B0 23 40 30 20 36 00 07 44 21 00 00 1A

into the frame there, hit "Reverse Calculate", and then proceed to the "Registry Hack" tab and Get Calculated next to one of the DTD entries (if there are none, click "More" to create one) and Write DTDs to Registry.

Reboot and you should have 1920x1200 as a selectable resolution. If not, it's possible Sony has specifically disabled 1920x1200 in the BIOS. Get around this by using

28 3C 7E A2 70 B0 23 40 32 20 36 00 07 44 21 00 00 1A

which is 1918x1200 and shouldn't be disabled.
[Shift Development] htakahasyd5:
Everything. I tried to copy 80 drivers by clicking "select all". Eventually, there were some drivers installed, others didn't.

When I installed only available drivers at htc.com, I couldn't get resolution change button working.
[Shift Development] htakahasyd5:
I think these drivers are not enought to cover every functions. FYI, I found the DriverMax is very usefull when I tried to install W7 to my old VAIO. It needed 855GM video driver, which had no solution other than this "copy from vista to W7". Intel nor official driver don't work, while "copy" works.:)
[Shift Development] Pfeffa-rah:
Hi all,

I've been trying W7 for a few hours, here is what I've found.

I have NOT run any benchmark programms. I just worked with it...

The speed difference between Vista and 7 is HUGE. (but we knew that)

I think XP is a faster esspecially when running multiple programms at once.

Untill now I find that W7 is a pretty good alternative for XP and a big upgrade from Vista.

However, 7 is still a Beta. Is exhibited some strange behaviour.

E.G. Portable firefox (and also Thunderbird) runs great if you start it from the EXE file or from a link on the desktop, but when you "pin" it to the taskbar and start it from there, it doesn't load your profile. It also doesn't load your profile when it is started by another program or when it's started by opening a htnl file from file-explorer.

Not a big problem, but these kind of things make it clear that there is some work to be done. (By MS or By Mozilla... I don't know....)

Also McAfee virusscan 8.0 doesn't run. There are other virus scanners, but my boss payed for McAfee so, I'd like to use that one in stead of a free and limited version of AVG....

What doesn't work until now is WMDC. The WM side doesnot connect to W7. When I use USB tool, I only hear the three error beeps instead of the two "new harware detected" beeps

The WM side doesn't show anywhere in W7. Neither in Explorer, nor in Device Manager.

So, I cannot sync.

I can however use the 3G modem using Internet Sharing on the WM side....

I do not know why W7 doesnot seem to recognite the WM side

[Shift Development] Hileotech:
Would you be so kind to upload somewhere the complete set of drivers you copied?

I reinstalled my Windows 7 with the lastest build from Windows. And if i remember it well i only installed the touchdriver and not the ECDriver. I aint got no problems at all with my Windows. Everything is working on the system. Even my buttons are working now with the installation of the synaptics Touchpad drivers. With this application you can attact programs to the buttons. One butten i reserved for Windows Mobility Center and the other button for resolution changer.

Good luck!
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Touch Screen will NOT work without the EC driver installed first. You also have to reboot your shift after EC driver install before installing Touch screen driver.
[Shift Development] eken:
Btw, I want to know some more about the activation of Win7 !

Should I activate it first, then install ECDriver > Touch Screen Driver !

or

1) install ECDriver, reboot

2) install Touch Screen Driver

3) install wifi driver

4) To the cracked activation !

Is the above steps right ?
[Shift Development] deadnex:
That should work fine. Remember to use "Vista compatibility" and to run driver installations with administrator rights.

Activation doesn't affect driver installations and it doesn't matter if you activate before or after you installed the drivers...
[Shift Development] Settembrini:
Hi again,

yes, Windows 7 runs fine, more or less.

But still bluetooth is annoying. The blue light is continuously blinking although I have deactivated it in device manager.

Has anyone got any idea if that can be changed?

And something else. When I switch on the WM side I get the max brightness although I tuned it down when I used it last time. No problem there when I used the original Vista.

Thanks!

[Shift Development] Pfeffa-rah:
I think the others answered your question for me.

After some fiddling with drivers, everything should work.

-Touchscreen

-resolution change with button

-Wifi

-Bluetooth

-WM-sync

-3G-modem

-SDHC (including ready boost)

It all works.

-The Aero interface does NOT work.

Windows 7 really is a good alternative for Vista and also is XP.

[Shift Development] EinSiedler:
How do I disable AERO?

I updated Vista to W7000 German, but some old routine (?) createdrecurring BSODs while starting. So I reinstalled W7 as new instead of update. Worked fine, but I had no Connection to snapvue. Discovered, that the Intel drivers were missing - fine.

Only resolution didn't. I tried the methode from #114 above, but I don't find a way to disable aero...
[Shift Development] JaWe:
Right click desktop and select "Personalize" (I don't know what it is in german but it's the last one in context menu). Select the first one of the "Ease of access" -themes

Doesn't work when resolution is other than 800x480 so with "aero" you cannot switch resolution
[Shift Development] koala996:
ah ok .. thank you ! I hope that these things will be solved in the final release... maybe we should send a feedback to Microsoft even if it is for special hardware... because they developed Origami for UMPC and I think that they take these feedbacks into account.

I can't believe the time it take here to get the Shift.... 3 weeks and 2 days... and still waiting ! I do have hopes for this week, but it might comes another week :(

Brightness

Hi,

einfach genau lesen. Oben steht alles, wirklich alles Nötige. Auch Nr. 114 funktioniert.

there is one thing that doesn't really work. Since having installed W7 I cannot permanently adjust the brightness on WM side.

I dim down the brightness on WM side, but when I switch on again, it is always very bright nearly at maximum level. This happens regardless if W7 is running or not.

Same experience? Any ideas for a solution.

Small bugs

Hi,

After using it for a few days if found 2 minor bugs:

1. When I use the high resolution, I can't put any icons outside the 800x480 area. The icons turn invisible there! I can click them and move them back I just can't see them. (I'll try to make a sceenshot from half an icon...)

2. Aftger Hibernating somtimes my WiFi adaptor is gone. After reboot it all works fine. Is this the same problem we had with Vista? would another power-plan help?

I had a problem where by trying to disable aero in Safe Mode kept giving me Unspecified errors when right clicking on the desktop and selecting Personalize.

So what I did the following registry hack to disable the aero theme whilst in Safe Mode and could then boot in normal to Windows 7:

Go to Start—>Run type regedit click ok

Expand and navigate to the following registry key

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWN

On the right pane, locate ColorizationColor with type as DWORD. Right click on ColorizationColor, and select Delete on the right click menu. Click on OK to confirm the deletion.

Then right click on registry value titled Composition (type DWORD) and select Modify. Change the value to 0 (by default is 1).

Restart the computer.

Hope that helps.

Hi everyone. Firstly, thank you all for the useful tips. I have been running W7 on my shift for a month now. A few issues though:

-- Sound stopped working for no reason.

Any help on these issues will be much appreciated. :)

In that case - you probably need to liberate your shift to get USBTool in winmobile. Read post #175 in this thread for details.
