As Microsoft is not willing to support WinMo anymore the ROM development goes to Android, where NRGZ28 does a wonderful job also for our HD2 -as usual.

Have a löök at this thread:

If you try, you will leave the beloved WinMo ROMs :Das I did and be a part of the running development family again..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tictac0566:
You cannot change the language of a ROM simply through a cab.

You have to flash an entire ROM. To some extent, sometimes at least Sense can be switched to another language, WinMo will stay.

However, you might think about changing to WP7 or Android. Both platforms are offered for HD2, too. And both run nicely on HD2 - I enjoyed the device until it fell on a stone floor...

Windows Mobile is no longer supported by Microsoft, or HTC.

Therefore, nothing really new coming from the main sources which had delivered ingredients for the chefs to cook their ROMs for us. That is a matter of fact, even if some people try to tell you something else (Windows Mobile for professional solutions is a whole different world).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gomez.pl:
look at HD2O rom, there is a .cab with polish language and after installation all is in Polish lang but there is an error - no apps works (missing certificate)

So if He can do that Energy can too :)

or Energy can cook next rom with polish files :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
I too have moved on. For those of us who have jumped ship and move on, with the Chef at our side in the kitchen I promise you will be amazed!

My HD2 is still rock solid and running the Energy NAND ROMs NRGZ28 builds for us, which are currently based on the Android ROMs he cooks for the HTC SensationXL.

Click on my Sig and enjoy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
I have not moved on, will be sticking with WM6.5.3 version 23699 customized to my very liking on the HD2. Run flawless for me, with years of experience I am now enjoying just using this device daily for work & pleasure & will wait another year+ & see how WP & Android are developing & jump OS & device all in one :-S
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] McKinnisG:
I understand. The only thing that I've been unable to do with Android is the advanced type of customization we have been able to do with WM. Other than that, its a completely new world, but one I can honestly say that I am enjoying at this time. I believe that once Android allows others to custom theme and arrange their phone as they owner sees fit, I do believe more will change over.

I'm still a windows mobile fan but for now I utilize NAND for my daily use. We all have to see what Windows 8 brings to the plate in February once it gets released to the general public.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
That is my plan, enjoy WM at its best & wait for Android to develop further & perhaps get better customization & also see where WP8 is going !

Sure Android nand build could do most things I need but there is nothing I need from Android at this time & many things I like/prefer/are far simpler with custom WM6.5.3 .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gomez.pl:
I want Wmo :) TomTom and other Navi progs are working on it.

I have Android in SGS and one phone with android in enough in my pocket :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pawel_i:
Did you tested Android on HD2?

How its work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
I resisted Android mainly because I loved my Garmin Mobile XT. I am now hooked on your favorite chef's Android NAND Rom. Sygic for Android is at least as good as Garmin and also runs without data connection.

IMHO, if you want a phone, WinMo and our favorite rom is superb. BUT, we want our phones to be mobile computers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] gomez.pl:
also in similar language :) and favourite apps working :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Still cant find any Android Build that looks and works this good. :)

I now enjoy using it rather then tinkering with it all the time. I could not live without WM anymore.

You know, I can see much clearer without Clouds. lol​
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johnkst:
Tried an Android SD build yet?

If any of you guys are interested in 'dipping your toes' in the world of Android, but are, like me, not yet prepared to give up on your WinMo builds, I thoroughly recommend trying out one of the Android SD builds on offer.

You install all you need in one folder on your SD card and the whole thing runs from there. Although not quite as fast as a build that runs in your phones memory, most of these builds run so fast that you do not notice a difference.

Once installed (you simply copy the contents of 1 folder onto your SD card), you can start Android directly from your Start/Tools folder, where our NRG chef has thoughtfully already provided a 'Launch Android' tool!

You can return to the safety of your WinMo build any time you like, simply by shutting down Android.

If you don't like what you see and want to try another 'flavour' of Android, you simply delete the folder you copied across and copy a different one onto your SD card.

Once you get the hang of it, you can even experiment with different skins and download a few free widgets and apps, which allow you a certain amount of customisation.

Here for example are a couple of screenshots from the Android build currently on my SD card. You may even find it soothingly familiar...!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
Hi Johnkst

I'd like to try this, but I have no idea what I need to put on the SD card to allow it to boot up in that mode.

What does it do with the data and files on the HD2 memory? does it understand the PIM data? or does it run in total isolation on the SD card, and not even see the internal memory?

I suppose that I should really investigate the HD2 Android forums for the answer to this, but I am being (extremely) lazy, and hoping that someone will post a link to a suitable ROM to try!

Thanks in anticipation,

GrahamST
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] johnkst:
Just give it a go...!

It really is as simply as I described. Each build comes with instructions. But for most of them, you just copy a folder named 'android' onto your SD card. Then, as I said, if you're using this Energy ROM, you only have to 'Launch Android' from the Start/Tools folder.

I don't understand all of the technical details, but I know that it will not overwrite any of the Energy ROM code that you have flashed to your phone. You will have to follow the setup instructions of course as if it were a new android phone 'out-of-the-box'.

I would suggest reading up a bit on the subject first, just to avoid some of the more obvious mistakes and to get an idea of useful apps you might want to download (e.g. for backup and recovery and for syncing data etc.)

As you cannot 'break' anything on your phone running one of these builds, I would recommend just trying out a few builds until you find one you like (or lose interest). You will automatically learn more as you go along (as I did).

Have fun!

Baa, as soon as i can afford it im going to buy a real WP7 device, but WM will always have its place at the top, it is after all, a pocket PC, and not a smartphone.

Its a shame MS neglected WM and let the OEMs and networks shaft the OS sideways, it always was and still is a great OS. For a pocket PC, nothing comes close, but comparing it with Android and iOS/WP is like comparing a swiss army knife with a dagger, WM ok at many things, but not great in many

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] grezbo:
This is a great rom, but for various reasons I need to go back to a stock rom for a while.

can someone confirm if I can simply reflash my HTC downloaded stock rom 3.14using the SD card method. I am not sure if this will automatically change the HSPL 3.03 back to SPL 3.03, or if I should do that first using HSPL4, as apparently (in the Artmeis ROM) it says 3.14 wont work with HSPL 3.03?

cheers for all your help and hard work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Flash the OEM ROM first, then run HSPL4 to flash the stock SPL. Make sure you either run the full OEM RUU from the PC, or flash both the stock ROM and radio via SD separately before running HSPL4 from the PC.

AccuWeather updates not working??

Hi all,

Has anyone else had the problem of the Weather Tab on the Home Page not working anymore?

My Home weather still updates when I request it to, but for all of the other cities I have included, they last updated on 12/01/2012 at 22:09 and now will not update on the HD2. If I follow the link to "More Detail Online", Opera opens the Accuweather website correctly and that all seems to be OK, but the Application on the Homescreen Tab does not seem to collect the data - it comes up with the error

"Connection Error - There was a connection error while attempting to download weater data. Retry?"

I have tried at various different WiFi access points (I do not have any data on my telelphone plan :( ) but the same error appears on all of them. Opera, Google latitudes, e-mail etc all work fine though - it just seems to be this application.

Might they have changed their protocols?

Any thoughts welcome.

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AndrewSh:
GrahamST, sometimes accuweather is in down - for example it was in down today in the morning (European morning :) ). Now the weather update works. It has nothing to do with the rom - just weather servers don't reply.

Sure I did not check NRG rom - I use my own one, but as I told - it's not some certain rom issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JVH3:
Accuweather is not down. Not2Advanced.com is down

Accuweather is not down. Not2Advanced.com is down

See my post here:

Set the regsitry entry for the server webserver to

remove the space so that it is http.

You can verify that not2advanced.com is down by going to

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6244668&postcount=574 and clicking the link.

Keep in mind, this only affects cities that you use on the weather tab. It does not affect weather using the My Location service.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] AndrewSh:
JVH3, kinda misunderstanding?

I don't use any Not2Advanced.com and never used in my roms.

If I said that accuweather yesterday in the morning (GMT morning) did not work - that means - it did not provide the weather for Europe for a couple of hours - that's it.

I have no idea what is written in the NRG rom registry at all because I'm not interested in anyone's roms (except my own ones).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
My 23699 ROM weather is working 100% fine.

Had a look in registry & no key is present like JVH3 quoted so my older build is slightly different & I assume using accuweather by default.

GrahamST may want to look at this registry if weather update error persists.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] JVH3:
If I'm not mistaken the Energy Roms that this thread is about have that registry entry.

In any case, even if they do not, anyone using the Weather City Editor to have custom cities on the weather tab have it it set since it is part of the cab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
Like I say my NRG 23699 ROM does not, maybe latest does.

Interesting to know this key & that it is included in custom city cab, if have update issues adding this key & another server could be a useful fix.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] GrahamST:
Hi there,

I have had a look at my registry, and the location specified contained the following:

Photos & Videos Tab Rotation

Hi all,

Just a quick question about the Photos & Videos tab in HTC Sense.

I've recently noticed (not sure if this is from when I originally flashed this ROM) that when I rotate the screen from portrait to landscape (by physically roatating the HD2) the screen correctly changes to the landscape version but actually rotates 180 degrees. When I rotate it back to portrait it briefly shows the landscape version correctly before returning to portrait.

I'm not sure it this is a problem with this version of the Energy ROM (highly unlikely) or something I have done with BSB Tweaks (or something else). I don't want to hard reset the phone if I can avoid it so is there a registry setting that I can change to correct the degree of rotation or something else I can change? I've recalibrated the G-Sensor but this hasn't solved the problem.

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mr Black'd:
You have to go to BSB Tweaks and untick Sense from auto rotate cause in music & photos tab there is already an auto rotation by default. I have no idea though how to remove the auto rotation and left behind wm6.5 so if anyone else can advise u ... Hope to have helped you...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Cudrefin:
Thanks Mr Black'd. Your suggestion was spot on. Basically, I'd set up rotation for the Sense home tab (no particular reason why) in BSB and this messed up the rotation of the Photos & Videos tab. Once I removed this entry from the rotation apps in BSB the Photo & Videos tab problem was resolved.

For MMS you need to set up 2 settings, one in Settings Connection & then in Messaging MMS Server.

A bit long winded but easy once done it correct once ...

Below is a doc with images for AIS MMS setup on older WM platform but still applicable & should help you achieve correct MMS account setup, hopefully ! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MadSoldier:
Thx for the reply. The problem is that I cann't find the Messaging MMS Server

In the example you gave (thx) they show Mms Composer. That I don’t find.

But the MMS settings to config. the server settings manually in Energy Rom I cann't find.

I tried to find something with Resco explorer en search on keywords as, mms, compo and didn’t found a program to start.

Thx, Mad
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Mister B:
SMS/MMS are combined in WM6.5

If you open up WM messaging & go to Menu then scroll dowm you will see MMS Options.

Here in MMS Options you have a lot of useful setting & tabs & one of these tabs is for Server configeration.

NOTE: you will need to do settings via Settings.Conections first as you need that setting to link to in "Conect Via" option when creating your MMS Server.

Have setup MMS manually on all versions of WM & NRG 6.5.x for many many years

Use doc as basic guideline as still aplicable to WM6.5 if you use some logic & your provider settings.

Please don't kill me if this has been addressed, as I've searched numerous sites as well as this thread but haven't been able to find the answer.

I fired up Panoramic moTweets today for the first time in well over a month and it could not retrieve the timeline. So I ended up deleting and attempting to rebuild my account, only to have it basically get stuck at the spinning circle. It appears it was supposed to launch a browser but doesn't.

If you go into ArkSwitch, twitter.exe is running (whether it be the one cooked into the \Windows directory or the proper, up to date twitter.exe in the moTweets install folder [installed to device]). All I can do is kill the process.

I even tried switching IE to the default browser instead of Opera but I get the same behavior. So far, I can't delete twitter.exe from the Windows folder because that is cooked in, and I suspect that may have something to do with the issue, but don't really know for sure. Just a thought.

My tweets are protected, and on Twitter's website, I turned off HTTPS-only use as well as removed authorization for moTweets, since now the app needs to re-authorize basically. I think the last time this worked successfully would have been around November, when I came back to twitter.

Is there anything else I can try without re-flashing the rom? I am running a USA CDMA RHOD400 (HTC Touch Pro 2) with the corresponding Energy July 4 regular-edition ROM (not GTX, TouchGlass, but rather the "bells and whistles" version)

For now I am using Twitter mobile through Opera or IE.

Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions!
