Any proof of this?
[HD2 General] Shasarak:
No they didn't. Some idiot at HTC Tech Support in Russia said there would be; HTC head office immediately went to the trouble of issuing an official statement contradicting him.

It's currently not looking good for an official upgrade:

[HD2 General] AdamiX:
Sorry my bad, but i think that it will be possible.
[HD2 General] Brau0303:
My 2 Cents

I just got my HD2 today so I am still exploring it (with the stock 1.66 wwe Rom), I have been using a Rhodium/Tilt 2 and I have used many other devices and this one ROCKS! (I am bummed that they used the new Flat Mini USB connector, so I now need to buy some additional accessories, instead of being able to used my current HTC stuff) the screen is awesome and I am liking the new snapdragon proc. Is this the device for you? figure out what you want to do and then decide if it will do that. (I bought the HD2 for what it is, not based on if it will have a WP7 upgrade or not). Anyway, what ever you get enjoy it or what is the point :)

Cheers

Just to make sure I'm doing well:

1 - Download latest SEX1 ROM in my language (Generic Italy R3AA007 Software Update)

2 - Dump it with Visual Kitchen

3 - Download a Kitchen of a working WM6.5 custom rom for SEX1

4 - Change OEM and EXT forlder in the kitchen with ones extracted from the R3AA007 orignal ROM.

4 - Replace all 0409 files and folders with 0410 (Italian code) taken from the R3AA007 original ROM.

5 - Cook!

Are these the right steps to translate a WM6.5.X ROM from WWE to Italian?

Thanks... ;)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] -=W1S3=-:
I really hope you're gonna get it work! I'm Italian and i am waiting for a new 6.5.5 based rom since the last italian X1 chef has stopped working! Great!

(Ti auguro davvero di riuscire a cucinare una bella rom italiana! Grazie! :D)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
4 - Just use the full OEM and EXT of the extracted ROM

4 - You need to replace the language specific folders of wm6.5.x with language folder of the same branch (for build 23529 you can't use the 0410 language folders of your extracted ROM)

1 - Download latest SEX1 ROM (Generic Italy R3AA007 Software Update)

2 - Dump it with Visual Kitchen

3 - replace sys and common xip (not oemxip) with your new sys-files

4 - Cook!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Samhain77:
Ok.... so if I've understood I should download one of these language rollup packages from da_g:

and change WWE files in the kitchen with the 0410 of the same branch in the rollup?

Are these 3 rollup packages covering all WM 6.5 branches? If they don't, where can I find other branches Italian or Multilanguage rollup packages?

Thanks a lot for all these informations. I hope to use them to contribute in this great community!!!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Samhain77:
Is this valid even if I'm going to cook a WM 6.5 rom? It seems not so right according to Lokatho post....
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Samhain77:
I'll try my best!!!! :D In the next week I plan to have the first beta ;)

ITALIAN: Mi impegnerò al massimo e mi fa piacere che ci sarà qualcuno che potrà apprezzare il mio lavoro. Penso che per la prossima settimana sarò già riuscito a fare qualche versione beta!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Yes, this way you build your own kitchen without using someone else's.

If you extract an Italian R3A rom with visual kitchen you basically build a kitchen, but with wm6.1.

So if you want wm6.5 you need the wm6.5 build of your choice:

28205 - start button on bottom

23518 - start button on top

23529 - start button on bottom with threaded e-mail and office 2010

You can download the rollup from Da_G and use the files to add/replace the following folders in the visualkitchen:

- SYS\23529

- ROM\SHARED\23529

Rename the folder ROM\KOVSKY\19*** to 23529

Now you are ready to build a ROM...

In Da_G's thread are also alot tutorials on how the visualkitchen works and how to port a newer build version.

[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Samhain77:
Thanks too much! These information will be very precious! I ;)shouldn't forget to thank you when I'll post my first rom!
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] 4s8kalz:
Well... We're waiting. :)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Samhain77:
So..... I've followed Lokatho instructions and I can now build a WM6.1 succesfully. But no luck with a 6.5 one. I've changed all files as recommended by Lokatho but after that the kitchen has built a 201mb nbh file. I tried to flash it using FlashCard method and after flashing completes (about 10 minutes) I reboot it and it hangs on the first SonyEriccsson screen..... Just a thing I haven't understood is it necessary to port the XIP or it just should work only replacing files with a WM6.5 built? Should I port the XIP.bin file in the Da_G 28205 rollup using the XIP.BIN from WM6.1 rom?

Note I've used 28205 branch....

Thanks for all of you who can answer me.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lokatho:
Just take the MSXIPKernel folder and the xip.bin file from the rollup and copy them to ROM\Shared\28205.

Rename the ROM\Kovsky\19608 to 28205.

Now you've ported the new XIP to your kitchen...

If the ROM hangs at the SE logo at boot there can be a couple of things wrong:

1 - SYS/OEM lang don't match

2 - problem with ported XIP

There are more, but don't recall them. Search and you will find...:D

Hi all

I have tried searching this forum but can't find an answer to my problem. Yesterday I installed the 1.66 ROM WWE from HTC and now I notice that when I try to use XT9 nothing happens, it just types blank, no functionality at all. I was wondering if someone can post their XT9 part out of their registry so I can either import it or verify if something is missing in mine why it's not working.

Thanks in advance for your replies!
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
the bad news is...(and correct me if I'm wrong) but nobody has yet been able to identify the XT9 dictionary parts..I'd love to be able to export mine so that I don't have to update it evrytime I do a hard reset, but..so far..this isn't possible
[HD2 General] maw:
Well, can you help me by posting this part of your registry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\

I would like to see what is missing because a friend of mine did the same upgrade last night and he retained his XT9 functionality, appearantly something went wrong with mine and the sad part is is that I only found it out after I reinstalled everything which took me almost 3 hours!

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 General] maw:
damn, I'll wait... I'm on the job as it is, so can't really fix the problem now. I was reluctant to install this 1.66 ROM, I think I will go back to my 1.48 ROM tonight, at least I never had problems with that one. This sucks!
[HD2 General] maw:
now this is weird, XT9 only works with Phone Keypad function, not with Compact QWERTY or Full QWERTY. Anybody got this problem as well and using the same ROM version?? Seems like they forgot to add something in the ROM....
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
I've never upgraded from 1.48 either...it may have it's bugs...but it has less than ALL the other ROMS I've tried
[HD2 General] maw:
Can't nobody help me by posting there registry settings?? Or sending me the registry entry??

What are your top 3 third party applications that you would love to have on your Windows Phone 7 Series? Most used applications for your daily routines, works, entertainment, what not ... Top 3 applications that you have in mind when asked about mobile applications.

Interesting to know so we could see what users expect to have on WP7 in terms of application.

It does not have to be Windows Mobile 6.x applications. If you think certain iPhone / Android / BB / Symbian apps thats fine.

I start with my top 3:

1. Offline navigation software

- like TomTom, CoPilot, iGo.

2. Opera Mini :)

- I just love the speed, thats all.

3. Good Facebook client

- Microsoft has one for WM6, but I expect much better than that. I read that iPhone version is better.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ramdroid77:
I basically use my phone for calls, messages and development... being last one like the only reason why I didn't keep my cheap old Nokia phone. Sometimes I'm using weather, GPS, reading emails or google for this or that but that's all and I'm just happy that I just can do such things whenever I would need them. I'm not really a crazy apps freak....

FPSeCE (Playstation Emulator)

Spacetime 4.0 (Graphing Calculator Software)

Pandora
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
I know that, but I have doubt with that Facebook integration.

Not that I am saying it is not good, but from what I saw ... the integration is split into 2 hubs ... People hub where you can see status update of your Facebook friends and Photo/Pictures hub where you can see Facebook photo albums of your friends.

With dedicated Facebook app, all those will come in the same flow of information.

Well, not a big deal really, because I am using http://touch.facebook.com via web browser (Opera Mini).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Which, IMO, is the best approach possible. Heck, I might even start using Facebook this way. Why would I need that information in a separate application? Why would I want to view photos in anything but a photo viewing app? Or where else do I need contact information apart from the contact app?

Also, this approach theoretically should aggregate information from different networks in a way that makes sense. I mean, if you are a member of both Facebook and, say, Linked-In, would you really want two separate applications to handle data from these networks?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
1.Opera Mobile 10

To read 3 different newspapers each morning on my Omnia II and have all my desktop bookmarks synced OTA to my phone. Been using Opera since v3.0 or so, love it.

2.GSPlayer

to listen to somafm.com !

3. Googlemaps

Works good enough, could be done much better (font size can not be set !) and leaks 2 DC's each time you start and stop it. Have to take another look at bing maps soon :-)

Coreplayer!!!!!!!!

IGO

BattClock (used to display battery info)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gogol:
For me, if I can reduce time spent then I will choose that way.

Instead of going into 2 hubs to read status updates AND photo updates, I would prefer to just go once to look them all :)

Like I said, this is not a big deal because there is facebook website itself which can be accessed via web browser.

Probably because I use facebook a lot :)

Oh yes, the idea of multiple social network integration is nice, dont get me wrong. Probably just because of that, I would start using Twitter! Atm I am only using FB.

Top applications: 'Real' Map-reader/GPS, Ebook reader,

Well, I might not be a typical user (and actually one of the things I liked about 'Windows Mobile Classic' was that it had a diverse ecosystem, catering for non-typical users!) but these are the two apps I use most:

1) A GPS/map-reader that works with real maps (i.e. topographic maps such as, in the UK, the Ordinance Survey series)

- so ideally, Memory-Map will port their software to WP7

2) An ebook reader that can read EPUB and TXT formats

- actually this is such an important use-case for me that I wrote a program to do it (see this thread). I expect to start porting it to WP7 just as soon as the SDK becomes available.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jim Coleman:
Windows Phone 7 is a paradigm-shift in how phones operate. Apps will no longer be individual screens, but will be subsumed into the overall user interface. Facebook is the most obvious example of that. If you take Tomtom, for instance, it will be peppered all over the phone in any of the following ways;

People Hub: Select a person and then hit the menu option to navigate to their home or workplace

Calendar Hub: Select a Calendar Entry and then hit the menu option to navigate to the Location of that entry.

Bing Search: Hit a search result to be navigated to its location if it is a real world place like a pizza restaurant, for instance. Once Tomtom is installed, instead of just the one option to be directed there by Bing Maps, you'll have a second option as well to navigate there by Tomtom.

Only once you're actually on the road will you get the Tomtom screen up with the 3D view of the road. The rest of the Tomtom UI will be embedded into these hubs.

I'd expect Twitter, Google Maps, Flickr etc to all melt into the phone's UI as simply extra menu options.

I think this is largely why the App list accessible from the home screen is so basic - it won't be the usual way to start an app. Normally the app will be called from a menu in part of one of the hubs. In this way, apps will organically feel like just an extension of the phone's usual functionality. Heck, I can even see the Photos hub doing something like footprints and recording the GPS coordinates, so you can use the Tomtom menu item in there to navigate to the place in the photo!

This is going to be totally awesome. And I think it's partly why the question of "Does it multitask" isn't so clear-cut...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] donnaw:
I use my phone as a phone and as a PDA so most of what I need is already there (calendar, alarm, agenda, Excel, etc)

1) But I have to have an ewallet. I use SPB at the moment and fully expect them to port it to WP7.

2) I also would like some ereader that handles most file types (EPUB mostly).

Could care less about the whole Facebook/Twitter thing. Just hope they don't get in the way of how I use my phone. Will have to wait to see how the interface can be changed. If I have to have Facebook/Twitter in the middle of my processes I will probably not get a WP7 phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jim Coleman:
Sorry that doesn't make sense? Do you mean you could NOT care less?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] scilor:
I would like to see all my apps on it :) I hope I will be able to port them!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] giggles33:
I love opera and youtube :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jim Coleman:
Opera should be made redundant by the new version of IE contained in WP7S. Youtube will become a subsumed service as part of the Pictures & Videos hub in the UI, and will simply be another source of video from the cloud, in the same way that Facebook posted videos are. I would also imagine that the Bing search engine will return Youtube hits.

Basically, be prepared for apps to function in an entirely different way to what you're used to - they will become simply extensions of your phone's functionality - many apps will be able to avoid having their own screens at all and instead rely on the hubs to provide their input/output.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
It's not likely that we'll see a version of Opera on WP7S as it's impossible to do a decent browser engine in managed code, because alternative browser makers will be the last to get access to native APIs (if ever), and probably IE will be much better than what we have now, but alternative browsers will not be made "redundant" by this. I can bet IE won't have text reflow, for example, which I personally love and severely miss when I try to use iPhone's Safari.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jim Coleman:
You would lose that bet.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] smilegod:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
Making competitors (Opera must earn a lot of money with their OEM deals) redundant is just plainly impossible nowadays without some sort of "deal" made. It's really very interesting what will happen soon.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] vangrieg:
Opera isn't making "a lot of money", their total revenue is about 100 million a year, with "internet devices" including set-top boxes etc. somewhere around 70 million, and then, according to their financial report, "Revenue from operators comprises the

largest source for Opera Software", not from mobile OEMs. So it's a tiny business really.

As far as redundancy is concerned, it will possibly be redundant for OEMs who won't need to pay licensing fees if WP7 gets a decent browser. It's always been redundant for Microsoft who obviously don't want any third-party browsers, especially with Google as default search engine, on any of their platforms... Since they're not a monopoly in mobile, there's no case against them limiting that as they wish. It will hardly be redundant for me; I've never seen an IE or Safari I liked, don't see that changing here.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] joozzt:
Wow, that were quick figures! Forgive me for being a fan of Opera, i just wish OS manufacturers would keep doing what they\re good at, making an OS, not competing with companies that use their OS to earn their living, with the lame excuse that it's all for the good of the customer. This is gong on since the 90's, this will continue into the mobile space also. Perhaps we'll soon see a browser-ballot for mobile ? It doesn't matter if an OS is popular or not.When we start developing for an OS, do we have to sign an agreement that the OS-manufacturer can do as it pleases and compete with the products we develop if they feel like it ? No, and as long as we don't have to fill in such an agreement it's all up to "reasonable sense" which in my opinion is NOT competing with the people you need to make your OS popular.

Hi

To start please dont ask me to use the search function :-)

At the moment I am unable to save apps to my SD card, is this possible without rooting the phone?

Anyone know if it will be possible when htc release 2.1?

Also, does copying the apps to the sd card speed up your phone? anyone with custom ROMS, how much internal memory do you have free when running average amount of apps, ?

If i dont restart my phone it hovers around 80mb and starts to lag,
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Why not? The answers are there! ;)

No

No - Apps2SD isn't currently an official part of Android, and whilst I expect it to come eventually it, it isn't there yet.

No - chances are the flash memory on your phone is quite a bit faster than your SD card. If anything, it may actually make it slower.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
dave, i have to disagree... on most points.

agree with dave, the answers are there.

depends on what you mean by "rooting the phone", but you don't need root access to your rom for apps2sd.

it can be implemented the same way as it is now. it was never available in an official update, and probably never will.

probably not. if there is any change at all it might be slower, as the sdcard is probably slower than the internal flash. whether this is measurable and/or noticable, no idea.

ram or internal storage? storage about 80mb free, don't care about ram. this is a linux system, free ram is wasted ram. windows (mobile) bull**** doesn't count here.

so you are probably talking about ram. try to figure out the reason for the lagging.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akuma24:
thank you both for your replys, so what can I do to speed up the phone, do these custom ROMS, like modaco actually run faster,
