V4.20 is working perfectly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Anybody tried V5.0?? I'm not into Android thing. Why on earth ppl want android on HD2. Better buy droid, htc desire if you like android so much.

Thanks Scotty for your wonderful rom!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] foney:
Have u used android on the HD2 yet? Then your question of why would be answered...;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] HkDng:
Tried, feel that touch sensitivity is not quite good compared to other ROMs :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
Great ROM. now I have a new thing to play with after the long waiting.

same old goodies. battery life, speed and stuff are simply great.

Likeing the new Manila engine... It is CleanEX UDT modded which means a custom tweaked manila for stuff to flow better. And new coloured sub-sliders.

good to see timeline issues in HTCmessenger are fixed. it used to display messages randomly that i missed important messages multiple times in the last two (i think) builds.

Also is there a way to disable CleanDroid on launch? looked through the startup folder at /windows but with no success. pretty annoying since I dont usually want Android unless Im looking for some real show off to friends and better gaming. help would be appericiated.

Removed the skinned audio booster in last build which seems to be laggy at times :)

Overall great ROM Dave! congrats on this success.

cheers

Friends its time for windows 7 now.

Scotty has proved all along cooking flawless Windows 6 series & even Android ROMs.

When he can fit a completely different OS like Android in HD2, we hope and wish scotty start driving his thoughts towards windows 7 ROM for HD2 since W7 is already leaked to XDA and beta version is also expected very soon.

What you say scotty?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Windows Phone 7 won't be ported to HD2...apparently the gpu is not compatible with DirectX...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bjm374:
Just got my HD2 yesterday. Within 1hr of having it I had loaded up HSPL 3 then first up was your ROM. After running a Touch HD for 2 yrs with all the bugs and slow ROM's around I can easily say I'm impressed with the stability and lack of bugs in yours. Kudos to the Chef :D

If that's the case then how come there are so many videos on YouTube claiming to show Window Phone 7 running on HD2?

I guess I should do a little reading about supposedly "fake videos" before posting...

OZRom

Hi there,

I startet the upgrade with task29 as described. The .nbh file was in the same directory. So after a while the task29 program said, flashing was finished. The device reboots and all I see is a white HTC screen. Flashing went also extfremely fast.

Did I do something wrong?

Do I have to soft reset the device?

Thanks for any help.

Alex
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alex300171:
Rom upgrade

OK...device doesn´t work anymore!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alex300171:
No improvements

I Took out the battery, but it still only shows the white screen with HTC on it. Nothing more nothing less. I have HSPL3 and radio 2.12 installed. Should work.

What did I do wrong???
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Task 29 does not flash the ROM, it only erases the internal ROM.

What you need to do now is put the phone in bootloader mode, then put THIS file in a folder with the nbh file and run it :)

Refer to this thread for more help :)

Oh and what radio version do you have?

As per the first post, you need to have at least 2.08...I recommend 2.12...if you have the stock radio, that could be why you are stuck on the HTC screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alex300171:
Thanks Scotsman,

worked out great. :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Ah great :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] abharsair:
I've been using this rom now since er 4.20 I think, and it's by far the best I've used so far, and version 5 is perfect bar one little bug (which I've had since 4.60) each time I change the background on the "desktop"

"Error

An unexpected error has occurred in

CHT_Wall.exe.

Selet Quit and then restart this

Is it just me having this issue, also am I right in thinking this is a cookie home tabs issue and not a rom one?

Can someone provide a different link? http://vbnfiles.com/xda/the_scotsman/OzRom/6.5/OzROM 5.00.rar

Isn't working. It starts, downloads some and then jumps to download complete, even though it's not. With multiple web browsers. I guess it's my fault, but if somone would be so kind to host it on another service, like megaupload or rapidshare.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alex300171:
Hi Daz,

are you changing the wallpaper using CHT editor, which is inside the ROM? If not try this method. This should work fine. I use this method and I haven't had this error so far.

Cheers,

Alex:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Did you go to Weather tab > Menu softkey > "Enable My Location"?

You need a bg4all patch for manila 2011. you can find one in the HD2 themes forum :)

Landscape mode is enabled. What doesn't work in landscape for you?

I think there are issues with the in call slider with these newer builds, which is why no chefs use it (I don't think any chefs use it?).

Glad you like the ROM! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] duncho:
Eh, U R right! I guess it's time for me to read user manual... lol

Thanx for tip! Hopefully it won't interact with Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.5.4

Sometimes it doesn't rotate, but after soft reset it's working fine. I'll test it and try to find out the reason of this behaviour.

Well, my knowledge isn't that deep, but if you say so, it must be the truth :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] uccoffee:
i like landscape mode! But I wonder will there be a cab to set it ON/OFF without a soft reset?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
Thanks for your reply and windows live download link. btw i disabled landscape manila in the registry but coverflow view is still not enabled. hope your cab will enable it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Added cab in post #2 to disable Landscape support. Manila coverflow in music and photo tabs will also be restored. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Der_Broker:
Hey,

I am having one major issue with v1.2:

I cannot make calls from "all contacts" - on clicking on a number nothing happens (as if link is missing...).

It work if I go in "phone" and chose a contact from there.

A minor issue:

I have the impression that booting takes longer than with other Roms.

In addition, why not deactivate the boot animation?

Finally:

Good work, this is the most stable and bugfree custom Rom I have tried so far! Thanks.

Der Broker
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I just tested it myself. I can make calls from any of my contacts in "All People" no problem. Maybe try running MTTY then reflash.

Not sure about the booting taking longer...never thought about the boot animation, I may disable it.

I'm glad your liking the ROM! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] htakahasyd5:
Thank you for the V1.20. I decided to use your ROM daily and probably follow your every updates continuously.

I made a small donation.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chicksloveit:
stupid question about MTTY.

i followed the how to and ran both programs but when i try and install the driver i can't find them.

9: Select the folder with downloaded driver From Step 1 and select "wceusbsh.inf" (this is the same file for x86 & x64):

i am running windows 7 x86 can someone please tell me where the driver is located please.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Der_Broker:
Hey,

@ Scotsman:

- MTTY worked for me, all contacts calling is fixed - thank you

- setting up everything and installing all cabs "only" took me one and a half hours - getting better - is there a trick how to script or accumulate actions?

- I saw somewhere "gridview" for the menu where you pick quicklinks - I consider that a real improvement

- you can deactivate boot animation via bsbtweaks, description is wrong there - just switch it to ON

- Is there a way to deactivate/ remove this (its the same) animation before Internet/Opera opens?

@everybody who is having problems with MTTY:

just follow the step by step description I found here:

h t t p ://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623356

(Sorry, you have to fix the link - I am not allowed to include them yet :-()

If it does not work you did not obey the commands ;-) (like me the first time).

Thanks again, Der Broker
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
Bluetooth is not working. I cannot turn it on at all. nothing happens. Anyone else?

Thanks SO MUCH for the diasble landscape and enable coverflow cab. Brilliant!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Thanks very much for your donation, it's very much appreciated!! :D

I'm glad you like the ROM :)

Did you download the driver from the attachment in the post? unzip them to a folder. Then when you browse for the driver, look in that folder.

Ah great, glad that fixed it :)

Yes, I'll try to get something in place for the next release to let you run cabs automatically on flash.

I'm not sure what you mean about the gridview thing?

To disable the opera splash screen, change this registry entry:

HKLM\Software\Opera\Info

Change 'ShowSplashscreen' to 0

You seem to have had a few problems. I just tested Bluetooth and it works fine. I really suggest you try doing MTTY.

No worries! :)

Already changed this...I noticed it as soon as I finished uplaoding the rom...lol...will be fixed in the next release :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Same here, except that I can't always manage to get the action screen up. Most times I have to open the lid and soft reset using the red button.

Defect is consistent, it happens every time I let the phone go on standby on its own... Tried MTTY too, same result...

Any idea?

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
I've been unable to reproduce this at all..and I've tried flashing several times but it just never happens for me.

You sure you did the Task 29 with MTTY? I'm not sure what else could cause it. It's hard to know when it doesn't happen for me. No one else seems to have mentioned it, from hundreds of downlaods, only 2 reports...hmmmm...

Try disbaling the lockscreen and see if it still happens?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ccristal:
Hey, thanks for your suggestions. I've tried to reflash using radio 2.08.50.08_2, flashing it before your ROM (v1.20) and so far I've not been able to reproduce the problem.

One other issue I used to have was... pressing and holding the "call" button was supposed to bring up the Showcase task switcher. Well... in most cases, it didn't, but when I checked with Task Managers, the Showcase.exe processes were all there, one for each time I pressed and held the button, although the task selection window never made it to foreground.

However, after the re-flashing above, I haven't been able to reproduce the problem anymore.

I'll keep an eye on both of them and I'll keep you posted. Thank you so much for your attention and your help!

ccristal
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
yes it happens again when it goes to standby. now i too have been unable to wake up the phone and not bring up action screen.

me thinks it may be radio so i have just flashed the latest 2.08 radio and will hard reset and start again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm..ok thanks for the update. It could have just been a bad flash..I'm not sure that the radio would cause those issues...though it might have.

let me know if you still have problems after the reflash.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tboy2000:
btw thanks for your support and help

OzDROID V1.00 has been released:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774417

It's a bare ROM with Titanium and a couple of apps, for a fast boot to Android :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] nikesu:
Updated to V5.0.....following things I noticed:

1) Arrived work 1 hr late coz alarm did not work. I mean there's no sound at all. Customized alarm(wave file) also do not show up in alarm menu. Normally i put in....my device/windows.

2) When changing wallpaper, it says "no photos & videos" found. You have to press Album/All. Its not problem but 2-3 steps more to get desired wallpaper.

3) Iphone death grip: My signal is behaving werid. Even i set my phone on table without touching it..... Signals keeps going down to 1 or 2 bars and back to full bar & then again goes to 1 bar. I mean it keeps moving back & forth. My radio is 2.12.50.02_2.

Non of above problems exist in V4.20......which worked so perfectly for me. I think i should go back to 4.20. One of the great thing about V5 is that I do not get this annoying "sent message" notifications (everytime i send sms) which i used to get in v4.20. I tried so many cabs & reg tweaks.....nth seems to work.

Anybody knows how to disable this notification in v4.20??
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] :
Yes, also Voice Command is missing with the V5 release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClementNg23:
congrats on the OzDroid release. would check it out once I have time :)

and you're now a mod! never realized that... anyway grats again.

along with some little 'bugs' others mentioned, has remote desktop always been missing? I dont remember...

have a good day.

p.s.

@nikesu

1.) are you sure your alarm is not on mute or something? or set to not make a sound in something like automatic mode (which is not supposed to not sound during appointments)??

2.) yep can confirm that issue... somehow... to fix simply go to CHT editor app and change directory under the misc. tab. hope this helps.

3.) death grip... weird never experienced it before. personally i dont like the 2.12.xxxxx radio since it drains more battery. (tested few months ago when things go wrong. best time to test radio ever, but thats another story.) personally I use the 2.11.xxxxx one. but it is all up to your personal taste.

hope these sorta opinion based information helps ya.

Dear Scotsman, great work btw. Anxiously waiting for new version and installed just before. Went to look for Cleandroid boot......... Couldn't find it. Am i missing something, or has this been left off
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hey, thanks :)

Yea, I left it out as I wasn't sure if many people were using it, or using another bootloader...there are a few available that have a few more options etc...

If people are still using it I'll include it again in a ROM update on the weekend :)

I use it a lot, it helps me to have the best of both worlds.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ahammet:
I installed this update recently and noticed a few things and wondering if others have also. On installation of additional cabs i noticed the battery dropped from 65% to 49% within the space of half a hour. I have also noticed an bug with the screen backlight, it goes off after about 5 seconds, the only way to fix is to turn off automatic. This may have been a result of an app i installed not sure (exceller andriod-ubuntu loader? I also noticed i could not clear an unread text message, not matter how i selected it. When i hit the windows icon (top left) my finger obscures the light sensor, then switches the screen backlight off totally.

Please don't get me wrong i am a BIG fan of these Roms, and being a fellow ozzie i support an ozzie rom, but this build seems a bit buggy.

Hi Dave, I have the same problem with battery consumption. In older ROM (5.0) with the same RADIO (2.12.50.02_2) is more better.

wallpaper

is anyone having a problem with their homescreen wallpaper?

(pls see attached)

it doesnt reach the taskbar, even with CHT 2.0

wallpaper mode is set to normal:confused:

edit: just turn off the CHT menu softkey and the taskbar skinning worked!!!

also can get rid of the start menu icon, even with No Start Patch cab

it wont go

its just little things that niggle that's all:cool:

I was using OzRom and was happy with it. I switched to other roms to try and used them for months. I came back to OzRom and I can say that v5.1 is the most stable and one of the fastest rom I ever used. especially based on CleanEX.

Thanks for the good work. finally ... no hang up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Father Ted:
Scotty......

Have you any intention of upgrading your ROM from Cookies V2 'beta' to the full on V2.0.0.0 Final?

It would be fantastic if you could do that, and obviously include CHT Editor (final) and perhaps the CHTS.

I'd hang on loading anymore stuff into my phone if I thought you had an updated ROM coming shortly.

Hi Scotsman,

People keep saying nice things about your ROM.

I'm looking for a lite 6.5 ROM as the basis for running SPB Mobile Shell and mskip's WP7 theme.

I don't I don't really need Sense or any other eye candy for that matter.

I'm only a newcomer to the HD2 (had a first gen i900 Omnia) and thought I'd be happy with a stock ROM, but I am already topping out in the memory department (Program Total 177 of 208 in use - 31 free).

So is your ROM what I'm looking for or do I need to keep looking?

Thanks in advance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Revhead:
In the absence of any replies I went ahead and installed this rom.

Very impressed. Quick and clean and MMS works out of the box.

My only problem at the moment is appalling battery life - does anyone have any suggestions in this department?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Battery life should be really good...I havent had any reports of bad battery life. I suggest you let it fully discharge then recharge it, to help calibrate the battery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stumped:
hey dave, have you removed the notes app? i can't seem to find it anywhere...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] the_scotsman:
Hmmm, if I did, it wasn't intended. Is the exe file in the \Windows directory?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] stumped:
ahhh, it is there!! sweet, thanks... now i just gotta work out how to create a link to it.

*edit*

found how to add it to the start menu but can't work out how to add it to quick links...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Revhead:
Hey Dave,

Just wondering if you get better battery life out some radio parts as opposed to others.

I know I used to with my i900?

Also, with my i900, I could flash the radio parts after installing a ROM - is this not the case with the HD2?

Using radio 2.08.50.05 which comes with your latest ROM.
