... update: bricked HD2 saga ...

Well, I corresponded with "trashcan" (real name: Kenneth Kuang), a well known US jTag fixer for the HD2 community here at XDA, and he can fix it for me for 30. + shipping with a 3-day turnaround time - if the jTag doesn't work then it's free + shipping.

So, that's the route I am going to take. I will keep you all informed on the outcome as this could potentially happen to any of us.

Man, I am so glad I don't have to face the prospect of losing the mutli-booting option. And I REALLY didn't want to lose the capabilities I currently have on the winMo platform.

Android

What version of Android would you recommend i can run on this rom??.I am using the ELCONDOR GTX version...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
No idea what it's related to. I've tried Opera 10 and it seems to be ok so far, I prefer 9.7 because I've personalised it e.g. vibrate when clicking links, reflow enabled, etc.

The last one I remember working without problems was back in February I think.

LOL @ Quoting myself. But:

Ive done everything possible (well for me). Replaced RillPhone mutliple times even though I found it scary. Went back to a November ROM and even the Stock ROM. Did all of this with and without task29.

Im going to give up:) Like the weather in Netherlands ever makes me happy, haha.

But if someone figures this out, awesome, and share please ;)

Cheers,

Sugocy

P.s. Whats the IT driven idea about the software working for 2 weeks, stops working and does not continue to work any more in any way possible? Sounds lik something Windows....><

Hey, are you really sure it's bricked ?

I mean, how does it behave if you pull out the battery, then put it back, and maintain the "volume down" key pressed while turning it on ?

Because if it shows the bootloader screen, then your Leo is actually OK. :)

Of course, it won't react by itself to USB plugging if you've messed up the ROM, but if you can succesfully enter bootloader mode, then you just have to flash again and you're saved.

Acctualy in order to make Money on a Mobile OS there are a couple of things that have to happen. The Developer has to keep a tight controll over everthing. As more you can controll, as better it will all will fit together on the end. Music, Games, Videos are pure Gold if purchased through the correct channels provided by the developer. Also it has to be extremely easy to use and attract Developers and users alike. Customisation option that you dont pay for is not in the interesst of the developer. Most users will never change their homescreen beyond a different backgrounds that came with the device.

I do think Microsoft got all these points correct this time around, even if I dont like it. WinMo would never succeed for the general public because the above points were not meet. Apple showed them the right, but corrupt way to do business in the mass mobile sector. Android has a special place and only works because Google is the biggest online advertising company. (Google would never create anything that does not connect to the Internet, their money pit)

Do I like WP7? No not one bit, but then again M$, Applepie, and Goggles unfortunately did not develop their OS for me but rather for the masses. Not very good explanation but basicaly what I want to say is a flexible and uncontrolled OS is not a money maker no matter how many people use it except if you can crossfinance it somehow.

Acctualy just to be accured the device has 576MB but some of it is already occupied by the system (in use). If you would not have 576MB your device would show less then 462MB.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colossus_r:
I agree with you in the developer part of your post.

Thats the way to go for anyone now...Android its getting new face every 5-6 months WP7 its new ..

Apple its a litle behind on the interface....Its the same for 5 years now...

Now the question. If i like WP7 ???

Well i was like you ar first.....but after using it for 3-4 weeks now.... i have to say that i start to like it...

Fresh new interface ... super fast (boot-apps-shutdown) even in my HD2...

Not all the apps that i want are avaliable but ..hey its a good start

I know it will be better and better every day as more apps will come...

I think that for all of us that we play (not just use it) with our device its kind of stange at first but gets better after a while...

And once again...Having the support that XDA has for our phone (HD2) its a bless.

You can have in your phone anything you want in no time.

Just pick what to boot today ..Android or Wp7 ...or even Winmo (a flash away)..

Here, here. That the whole reason I finally decided to get one of these. I'm still sticking with my Rhodium as my daily driver for the most part, as I need that keyboard. I love the ability to flash so many different operating systems. It's especially useful to be able to have a

useable

version of linux on it.

NRG put a lot of work into keeping the Rhodium and other devices alive as well. I'm using my own ROM for the most part on my Rhodium, but I'm sticking with the Extreme Energy ROM on my HD2 for now. It's incredibly fast.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Windows Mobile is not a dead or abandoned platform. Microsoft has already recognized WP7's limited use in enterprise and other business applications. In order to not clog the thread with another lengthy discussion of this topic, I've written a post, which is linked in my signature, laying out the upgrade path of Windows Mobile. The platform is still scheduled to evolve in the enterprise field. WP7 was designed for the mass market, not as a successor to the business-oriented Windows Mobile platform.

In short, Windows Phone 7 is a derivative of Microsoft's mobile development platform, not a successor,

Those info you provide are coming from where ????

Are solid info or rumors ????

Its the first time that i read something like this and i have to say that i am reading alot of articles on this from the net!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Most of it comes straight from Microsoft's own website. They have released several tools to get developers ready for the changes. I have an upgrade chart that I can attach to that post once I get back home tomorrow. Don't worry, I didn't make it up. :)

Just a question about this Rom

hi there, love this rom, but the only trouble i find with it is that the ringtones/message tones are quiet. I have increased the volume to max, have pocket mode set to make it louder in pocket, and even used a program on computer to increase the volume of the mp3's etc and copied them back but to no real avail. Is there a way to increase the volume either through a reg. hack or something? Or could my radio version be the problem?

My set up is:

HD2 - U.K T-Mobile

Radio Version 2.15.50.14

Energy Dinki-Glass 15th March Version

Thanks In advance for any help with this issue..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] addicus:
Wrong. The first ones are for those who desire a more stock feel. The Extreme ones are for those who don't want to use Sense and want more internal storage. All of this information is in the first 4 post
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sumflipnol:
Wrong (again).

The Extreme ROMs are for 1024 LEOs (T-Mobile USA HD2s with 1GB ROM).

The fact that there are CHT2.0 Extreme ROMs means that you can use Sense, albeit risking memory.

Here's NRG's first post about the Extreme ROMs:

Can someone tell me what build of Opera is in the latest March 15th ROM?

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colossus_r:
Hi m8...

I did not flashed the new rom but NRG use Opera 9.7xxx in his roms. Always the same version
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cmajewsk:
Version 9.7 Build 36027
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zuzler:
Well sh*t. I definitively will NOT use this ROM anymore.

For the first month, it was perfect. Now it annoys me like hell.

Every time I run a program and suspend the phone, then try to re-use it - it does nothing except display sense. No windows key, no external apps work anymore. Just sense itself. The consequence: The timer I set cannot be accessed anymore and I do not know how long the cake has been in the oven. Thanks to that, I'll probably have a burnt cake...

And trying to sync it with Outlook duplicated all of my appointments. I'll have fun sorting that mess out again.

I will now look for alternatives, a pity this rom didn't get tested that thorough...

The problem is probably the CHT Lockstyles, which are VERY bugged.

(And yes, I do know how to properly flash a rom.)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] yeoldgreat1:
Just out of curiosity, which rom are you using? I'm using the latest Cookie Rom (15th March) and don't have the locking problem. I'm using the CHT lockscreen.

I had the problem with Outlook duplicating appointments. It seems to be a problem with the way Microsoft has implemented the sync settings. It decides to sync your contacts and put birthdays into your calendar, then it decides to sync your calendar and not realise that the birthdays are linked to contacts so you end up with double the amount of appointments.

Also after a flash, Outlook doesn't deal with duplicates at all, it just keeps creating new duplicates of contacts, notes, appointments every time you flash and set up a new sync.

I got round this by deleting my notes and calendar appointments from Outlook before I set up a new sync (I backed them up with Microsoft MyPhone). I didn't delete or sync my contacts as they don't change very often. If I do add new contacts to my list then I can just sync them separately.

I know it seems like a lot of work but if you know what's causing it then it's easy to prevent.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pride429:

Good day guys. Please can same body tell me about this Rom with Dinik costomization on first page. This Rom good for T-Mobile USA phone? And also with CHT version BUILT IN on this ROM ? Thank you for understanding.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zuzler:
yeoldgreat1, I am using the Mar 15 WWE version.

With the lockscreen, it kinda works, but only in 90% of all the cases. I already unintentionally called some people because I have the phone in my backpocket (with stock leather casing) and it sometimes unlocks.

The Outlook problem is not as grave as I thought first, but it was a result of plugging the phone into the laptop and not working properly...

I have now disabled the lockscreen and reverted to the WM stock one for the time being as I dont have time to reflash right now.

p.s. I was able to save the cake :)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colossus_r:
Can i have my refund????.... please ????? LOL and LOL again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Zuzler:
Actually no.

But a small hint that those kinds of bugs do/may/might exist.

Some small hint in the entry post stating "Using the 29XXX versions can cause: errors while synching with Outlook (duplicated entries) and random lock-ups under certain conditions (CHT lock + running apps)."

Yes, I do know that the 29XXX versions are not bug-free but a small list stating the bugs would be nice.

I do not want to discredit your work in any way, I respect and honor this time consuming work you are committing yourself to in your free time. But if I knew about these bugs before flashing, it would be a huge plus since I can tell for myself if I still find this rom usable for my own needs. And to be honest, I do not read through 3000+ pages of user reports before flashing. Nor do I have time to re-flash 5 times a day.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] patience88:
lol!!

ontopic mayby you could try to download the rom again & try a reflash.

I don't have the problems you refer to.

flashing takes aprox 30 min.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
Don't doubt you know how to flash, but can you realize that maybe you do someting else wrong?

Lot of people here are using last rom version an you are the only one reporting those problems.

Maybe the chef is introducing some kind of troyan horse just for you... So, considering his kind offer, I would ask for refund and go back to one of those perfet :) stock roms...

Btw: I have sync my 2315 contact list in no more than 10 minutes and there isn't any duplicate. And also using the Cht lockscren with nice slider toggles, clock, audio player, reminders...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stevedebi:
These are not NRG problems; they are Microsoft (outlook sync duplications) and CHT (even the original makers of CHT say that using the built-in lockscreen may cause problems). What exactly did you want NRG to do to fix other people's problems?

As to your original problem: If you are using the 29017 version (start menu at the bottom), you can simply tap on the Arkswitch area of the screen (top left) to bring up a list of running applications. Your timer should be there; just tap on it and it will activate. Also, note that a hidden timer is still running, and should still sound the alarm when the time comes.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hjhjhj:
An easier route to sync with Outlook after a flash or before a flash of a new ROM...remove the existing partnership your phone has with Outlook/Windows. Do not restore your phone from backups...leave it empty.

This way, there is no need to empty out your Outlook database. No hassle sync.

Talk about doing things the hard way.

And it's easy to get rid of duplicates in Outlook...just change your view from whichever list you're trying to clean up. For example, in Contacts, change your view to a list view and you'll easily see any duplicates and be done. Same thing with your Calendar entries too!!!

You should always backup your phone data before any flash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Z80-Man:
Hell ! No need to quote my whole post ! It's long enough ! :D

I do that sometimes (I do that when I'm forced into an unexpected hard reset, for instance : does yout crystal ball tells you when it will happen ? :) Sorry, i'm not equipped. :p), but as I said above, you won't be able to recover your favorite contacts.

They'll be in disorder at best, and more probably will have duplicates, empty boxes, and contacts you never put there before ! :p

I know it won't take ages to get all 15 back manually, of course : you can consider it isn't a really serious issue.

But I find it far simpler and faster to take a few seconds to just hit Ctrl+A then Del keys in Outlook, than placing my favorite contacts again in their grid, with the right pictures (BTW, not managed by Outlook : the information is stored in non-standard fields in the database), and so on. ;)

Of course, it's true because I use it just for contacts, appointments and tasks ; otherwise, I would probaby think twice if I had to sync back my emails, too.

But I don't use Outlook for my emails, and I even don't receive emails on my phone. Almost 20 years email history just wouldn't fit in, actually, even on my 32 GB micro SD. :p Plus the only data connections available in the country are either USB cable or Wi-Fi, and anyway, I won't read mails while driving or working at customers', so emails stay on my desktop computers, at home and at work. :p

Hi, Z80-Man!

I just want to report two bugs, which I found in Energy rom 15march.

1. It's when you're on the home screen and swhich to the second page, where you have bottuns for date connection,wifi and bluetooth..All of them are working right, except hte bluetooth bottun, it's turn on from there, but you can't turn it off..

2.The other one is when you're again on the home sreen and want to chage somithing( put some new quick links for exp.) and hold your finger to the sreen, the menu is loading on half...

That is,it's not so big problem but just to know for it! :)

and Thank you for the great ROMs I'm using them from long time ago! :)

P.P

Sorry for my bad english!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Always amazed me how 2 Microsoft products, WM & Outlook would not transfer basic PIM correctly or simply. Even ActiveSync & WMDC are quite useless at maintaining this basic data.

Thankfully I do not use Outlook & never sync, my data is exported & imported as required & contacts are backed up when adjusted & mailed to a google account set up for storage.

Microsoft had 7 years to perfect syncing but proved themselves to be useless as usual.

I love WM but syncing data & backing up should of been so simple via Microsoft software !

Makes me wonder what the MS research team got up too !!

A lot of burger & doughnut eating & playing pacman if their systems had recovered from the pre lunch-break crash :-P

Thankfully my 18months of Touch Pro on TAEL & Energy ROM never let me down in terms of requiring a hard rest & soft resets could be counted on my fingers. So far my experience with HD2 on Energy is proving to be reliable too, no hard resets except after a new ROM flash :-D biggest issue is CHT2 but this can be improved via settings, also newer builds of 28xxx 29xxx have some issues with split window apps with scrollbars.

All in all good enough for my Desire never to get used, Android is quite dull & has plenty of problems I can't be bothered to resolve so Energy WM will remain as my main OS for some time yet :-)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] jfrm:
I couldn't agree with that. I'm a heavy bussines user of Windows mobile since I got my first HTC Magician some years ago and has been syncing contacts, appoints and tasks everyday without any problem, first with Activesync and now with WMDC.

The only small gliches I have found till now are with All day appointments and Birthdays transfer, but those are Sense related, not WMDC or Outlook problems.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
I too started with the Magician. Sure Syncing can & does work but is far from as seamless & simple as it should be, many syncing issues can arise & did even before sense was created.

I work with CRM software & in my business world the amount of users who have had syncing problems via MS software is huge.

Sure some is user error but a big part is MS software related, I doubt the 5 year old in the MS advert editing his images would do so well syncing his PPC :-P & that is the point, good software should be so simple & without glitches that anyone can use it without researching forums & getting advise from IT & XDA geeks :-D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] colossus_r:
They have answer your question m8... READ THE #1 PAGE....

THE ANSWER IS (OUT) THERE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From #1 page

If you have a T-Mobile USA branded device, then you don't need to flash a "radio". The ROM will work just fine with it. However, if you own an asian or european HD2 then you NEED to flash a .50 radio

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD AND FLASH ANY OF THESE ROMS, MAKE SURE YOUR RADIO VERSION IS AT LEAST 2.07.50 (not 51! any .50 version should be okay) , OR YOUR PHONE WILL NOT BOOTUP AFTER YOU FLASH !

IF YOU HAVE A TMOBILE USA DEVICE, THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO YOU AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO FLASH A NEW RADIO, BUT 2.07.50 IS STILL RECOMMENDED TO WORK BEST WITH THIS ROM.

I have the energy extreme rom running on a t-mobile hd2. I think it's a lot faster then the non-extreme rom running on my t9193. I have most of the apps on the storage card so the storage isn't an issue. Some of the other programs, like opera, are not in the extreme rom because of size issues.
