From the description, it's possible the ROM was set to expire after a certain date - i.e. timebombed.

Many of the pre-release WinMO 6.5.x ROM are set to expire and require patching.

Thats what i thought.

So problem solved.

if you need a Swedish rom your choices may be soo limited so it's easy to choose

even if your requirement list may not be all that full

Hi,

I can highly recomend BsB Tweaks if you are using a ROM with Sense 2.5.

I just used BsB Tweaks to change the left button on home screen from Phone to Camera, and other stuff also.

Good link, a few extra tweaks to be had here

Hi...for the past few days i've been through a lot of threads trying to figure out stuff like changing font color, color of notification bubble etc...without much luck. So detailing my problem here...plz see if you can help.

I started out with the cra**y vodafone theme on my TP2. The two biggest problems: the horrible red slider and the black font due to which i can only use light colored backgrounds.

To get rid of the first problem, I installed ohyeahar's color TF3d with no top/bottom curtains which works great but still the first part of the problem remains.

Also as you can see in the screenshot, the highlight bars in people and mail tabs are the same red (with black text) but the text color in the slider is white (see the mail notification bubble). So, is there a way i can:

1. Change the font color on all tabs to white?

2. Get rid of all the red?

Can it be done through registry editing (are there image files i can replace) or would it require a manila editor?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] MrMiyagi:
I used the Back to Black CAB which gives you a nice standard Black Manila.

THEN you can install any number of Themes with no further problem.

Download:-

http://www.4shared.com/file/10933096...3DIIBlack.html

Before installing it copy the "2330fc3c_manila" file from the windows directory and put it back after installation (otherwise your city names will be in French).

When installing DO NOT let your screen turn off and it takes about 20 mins to finish.

Can you now get into bootloader mode? If can, think you need to reflash, you can try going back to the last available OEM ROM at www.myxda.com and choose download ROM and select Atom. There is instruction to flash there. If you can get that far, then only consider flashing other cooked ROM. As far as Atom is concern, there is ONLY WinMo5 available, nothing higher.

Good luck.

[Off-topic] pharao:
When I originally chose the successor to my aging gSmart phone, I did a lot(!) of research on functionality, features and technological viability.

But somehow it never appeared to me to check out the viability of the underlying Operating System (WinMo) itself - given my early history with PalmOS and how Palm Inc. had just surrendered to Microzoft over nite, it never dawned on me that WinMo itself might one day share the same fate as the doomed Palm Operating System.

But now I stumbled across this Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Mobile

Now did I just spend $800 on a phone (and am about to waste another $100 on renewing my non-transferable licenses) that won't have any Operating System Updates coming past 2010?!

In that article HTC is alleged to not just be the greatest supplier of WinMo phones, with 80% they're pretty much *it* - meaning no HTC no WinMo phone market no more.

Now what does HTC say about their commitment to the WinMo platform?

And if HTC decides not to release e.g. WM7 for the HD2, will the ROM cookers of XDA come to our aid and port for us (please) one of those leaked versions?

So many questions and so few answers
[Off-topic] gregormax:
WM will still be developed. ROM updates will be released. WM7 will be released for the HD2 probably officially and for free. I really don't see the problem. Besides the HTC Sense hides WM so much that if there wasn't the start icon on the screen you wouldn't even notice it works on WM... ;)
[Off-topic] pharao:
R u trying to be extra dense on purpose or are you just to inexperienced to realize what kind of a problem it is if the Operating System you're running is no longer being developed?

Ever spoken to an OS/2 user lately or watch the calisthenics of an Amiga user when trying to perform such mundane tasks like trying to run a GigaByte database application on his systm?

Ever watched an Atari user trying to download a 300MB file from the Internet?

Seen a Palm User playing Adobe Flash videos lately?

I could go on like this, but it is naive at best to have the attitude "because I don't see my Operating system during daily use, I don't have to worry about getting support for it..."
[Off-topic] Towserspvm2000:
Microsoft have rested on their laurels for too long, and WM7 might be too far away to do any good. But don't worry, WM6.6 is just around the corner.... :( What is that gonna bring???

Android has come from nowhere, fueled by the Iphone?

WM is just cluncky right now, HTC can only cover over the little cracks of WM, but the big cracks still exist. One day soon, even HTC will say "Windows... ahhh Feck it!!!"

I've always poo-pooed Android because I would not want to leave the WM apps I have on my device. But those apps I have are apps that rectify WM shortcomings in the first place - shortcomings that don't appear on Android.

There are only two apps I can't live without and would keep me using WM a device, and they are My Sport Training and My Personal Diet. And in 2010 they are going to be ported over to Android. When I see them on Android, I will sit up....

I just think all the other operating systems are getting more polished, but WM is still a turd. And an old turd at that....

A final point that has just come to me.... People say that WM allows you to alter the settings and just tinker.... why? Because it is crap and you need to spend so much time getting it right? Because people here at forums like this can do better and produce software better than MS or HTC????

Am I ranting??? Am I coming to the end of WM?

Discuss... ;)
[Off-topic] Archer:
That's particularly offensive and you should apologise to gregormax immediately for that!

The "article" you linked suggest that it may be possible that windows mobile will no longer be developed. It's an analyst suggesting a possibility - it is not fact, or even likely.

You should read the whole thing again, but don't take it as gospel just because an analyst was "quoted" on a wiki page.

I don't see what the fuss is about. What more do you want it to do?

It sends emails, sms (some times :)) & mms

Connects to the internet.

Has wifi

Can be used as a router

Takes photos & video

Plays videos

Has weather & stocks

Finger friendly (If you say its not you have chubby fingers and should start eating lettice)

Plays games

Theres loads more. So what if WM7 doesn't come out on this it's a great phone as it is (apart from sms issue)
[Off-topic] balane:
What more do I want it to do? I can think of a lot I would like my handheld to do in the future. I want it to show actual video of the road I'm driving down with a big orange stripe telling me where to go. That's the navigation of the future. I want it to stream HD video flawlessly, from every possible source. I want it to play music and have a DAC and preamp as good as a high end car/home stereo. I want it to call the police when it gets stolen and tell them where it is. I want to be able to think of words and have them appear on the screen, same with opening applications. I want it to be incredibly easy to use and predict what I'm going to do before I do it. I want it to tell me that my favorite Cheesesteak restaurant is going out of business in a week so I better swing by for a last sandwich before it's too late. I want it to clock me in at work when I walk in the door and send a message to them when it determines I won't make it on time.

I don't hate WM and Sense 2.5 right now at all, my phone does more than anybody else's around me but there is no way I would be happy with it a decade from now. I bet if you look back at a phone you were totally happy with ten years ago that you wouldn't want it in your pocket today.

Microsoft hasn't lost yet but they need to get to work and they need to do it fast, that is if they want to compete. Maybe they don't care about mobile any more. That's OK too, other companies do and will care.
[Off-topic] thegios:

[Off-topic] gregormax:
First of all you get support and new updates from HTC. A new version of WM? OK, what for? You write about Atari, Palm, etc. but this just shows you don't know what you're talking about. What great feature do you see for phones coming before WM7 is released (this year)? Because right now with the 6.5 you can do EVERYTHING the competition offers and even more (compare the HD2 to the iPhone for instance). Your arguments about Amiga and Atari are quite... let's say childish. The last popular Amiga was released more than 15 years ago so what do you want to prove with that. The problem here is not the software but the hardware. In 3 years the HD2 won't be probably even decent compared to newer devices and system updates won't help. Do you think that with a new Amiga OS (i.e. Workbench) you would now be able to open 1GB files on an Amiga 1200 with 2MB of RAM? Wish you luck :).

In matter of OS I really don't see any update which would be a must before WM7 is released and as we all know WM7 will be probably available for the HD2 for free. So if you see some indispensable updates for WM6.5 be my guest - I really wonder what it could be. Besides it's really smart to rely on Wikipedia for official news... afaik WM is still in development and WM6.6 will be released soon - just as I wrote in the first post - quote: "WM will still be developed". The problem is that for no apparent reason you think WM won't be developed anymore and that's a quite naive statement.
[Off-topic] pharao:
Why is it offensive if I ask someone who in essence says "If I don't see my OpSys then I don't have to worry about it not being supported any more" if he tries to be dense on purpose?

That is not offensive at all, and I will most certainly not apologize for making a valid point here.

Quite to the contrary I think that gregormax should think about how qualified his remarks were, which most certainly did not address the issue of my posting at all -

but just tried to belittle it all.

And I did read the whole darn article, including the part where every(!) industry analyst agreed that 2010 is the out time for Windows Mobile and WinMo7 the last major release of it.

And I have seen this cycle happening before.

As soon as the OpSys manufacturer pulls the plug on their platform, all the major SW developers will stop developing for it - and in most cases will also stop supporting their apps.

Regardless of how much money users just paid for their software.

So I do think that this is a valid point of concern for anyone spending close to a thousand dollars on their HTC device.
[Off-topic] pharao:
Do you realize that there are still Amiga computers sold even today?

They have two companies in Italy still marketing that platform.

Their designs look quite impressive, until you get to the actual technical details.

And then you realize how hopelessly outdated the whole darn thing is.

And "running a whole country of 170mb"?

I doubt that very much. Even back in the days, it took more than that just to manage a single city. That is what IBM mainframes were made for.
[Off-topic] lee1980:
All is said but here my 5 cent.

A company like MS does have the claim to be present in all possible software markets regardless of the fact wheter with or without success. They will never drop it even if they lose money because to them its an image thingy....

I'm also pretty sure that Microsoft will bring at some point their own smartphone which is currently nothing else but a rumour but gonna come true once and that will be running on such an OS developed by MS as well.

Well, I would have most certainly accused you of "ranting" myself, until I read what all those Industry Analysts and the major phone suppliers said about their (lacking) support for WinMo - that and the ever Shrinking Market Share of WM.

Now I feel I just wasted another thousand dollars (phone + SW licenses) on a freaking Dinosaur.

A device outdated by its Operating System before it even hit the shelves
[Off-topic] pharao:
They used to say the same About Apple and the Newton, until Apple dropped that platform over night.

Same with IBM and OS/2.

I just don't see how they can survive their ever shrinking market share and I never knew that 80% of all WinMo phones are made by one single company - HTC.
[Off-topic] pharao:
I don't care about Sandwiches or what happens a decade from now.

But that my old TomTom App & Maps no longer work on the HTC HD2 and that it is now highly unlikely that TomTom will ever offer support for that platform, yes that does concern me a lot.

The same goes for my multiple talking language dictionaries I own, as I do travel excessively.

If they are not ported over, I just wasted close to $200 for language packs I can't even use as weights (should have bought the paper version instead ;-(

There are many, many such applications that I used to run on my old gSmart phone, and was waiting to be ported to the WVGA HD2 platform.

But after reading that article I highly, highly doubt that many SW vendors will be in a hurry to invest development capacity for a dieing platform.
[Off-topic] lee1980:
well but those examples are a bit different. OS/2 was dropped because microsoft finished the coop. with IBM (simply a strategic decision for focusing on windows) and the newton because of the not given market acceptance. None of the because of the big competition on the market like now....

Maybe they should corner the HTC ;-)
[Off-topic] lorin.bute:
You are so wrong my friend. I have an ex colleague that works for Route 66. They received all the Android prototypes and WM phones to get software developed on them. Android will get navigation software and my guess is that the HD2 will also get navigation software for the new wm7. He can't tell me more, because of the confidentiality.

I really think you are exaggerating and the lack of inside info, or any kind of confirmation, strong rumor, or whatever is making you think this way.

Just give it a couple of months until we see wm7 and we get an official confirmation for the hd2.
[Off-topic] Archer:
I told you to apologise because this is supposed to be a mature and helpful forum, and not filled with people who immediately start name-calling as soon as there is a person who disagrees with their point of view. People who resort to that are singularly responsible for the only bad aspect of this whole forum.

You WERE offensive and you SHOULD apologise. If you had any level of maturity you would at least accept that name-calling is pretty pathetic and pointless.
[Off-topic] pharao:
When I spoke with TomTom about support for the HD2 they told me flat out "no support and none planned".

And I need turn by turn mapping software that includes places like Eastern Europe, Africa and South America.

Not just maps for downtown London or Los Angeles.

And there are not so many GPS capable map application providers out there who "cover the whole globe".

The WinMo support by companies like TomTom was the reason why I bought my first WinMo phone to begin with, as I had originally set my mind on a Linux phone.

If HTC can not secure that kind of support for the HD2, then I made a serious misjudgment in spending that much money for this device :-(

You are utterly wrong on OS/2, let an old die hard OS/2 user tell you so.

IBM did not drop OS/2 because they got a better deal from Microsoft, they dropped OS/2 because they had lost the OpSys War with MS and decided to get completely out of the PC market altogether - in the end even selling their PC branch to China - and transforming themselves into a consulting company in the process.

And Apple dropped the Newton because they couldn't secure enough market share to make it a viable product line.

I indeed made a misjudgment in spending that much money on the HD2, but I will not get my money's worth if I sell this thing now.

Even fresh out of the box, a PocketPC phone that is no longer "brand new" has already lost a lot of its value.

If I'm lucky I'll get ~$500 for it, specially since I no longer got the original box :(

That would still leave me ~$200 short of a 1GHz Android phone and then I'll have to buy those SW Licenses all over ... again

Don't bother, pharao is just another whiner, he won't understand anything. Someone who shouts at other forum users for "not helping" him, when in fact, his question has been answered a thousand times before and it would take him about five seconds of searching, someone like that is not worth the hassle.

And he'll whine about his Android phone as well. Good thing is, he won't be here anymore then, so let him buy an Android phone and then bother users of some Android forum.

Some people always need to complain. Probably doesn't make life easier, but apparently they think so. If you'd give those people the best phone ever created (read: an HD2) for free, they still would complain.

Has HTC promised any update for the HD2? No. Even if it would cost a million bucks, you couldn't expect anything that has not been promised.

And besides that, rumors about WM7 have beed floating since 2007, it's nobody's fault but his own that he didn't inform himself, so he has no right at all to complain, because he could have known all this before.

And lastly, Microsoft is not going to drop WM6.X, they will still support and develop it, it will still be sold with new phones and HTC will provide updates (if indeed they don't provide WM7). So nothing to complain about.

I really think Pharao is making a mistake if he sells the HD2 now. After all which other phone can match the functionality and the screen size? It is a thing of beauty and utilitarian too. And if his darkest fears come to light and WM7 is not supported the developers on this site will come out with several versions... Why don't you just enjoy what you have and not think about the phony future so much? Also, by then someone would have figured out a way to run Android on it...

There is no reason for a HD2 to be in the Route66 labs unless they're making a GPS solution for it. Since there are many other great GPS apps for wm out there, i can only imagine its for WM7. So again, patience is required :)
