Top man! Thank you. Funny thing is, I couldn't see that on HTC's website when I looked for all the updates.

EDIT - Just tried it. The issue is still not fixed. Still get a big f***ing freeze before it sparks into life. Well done HTC!

SMS issue

have the sim free hd2, never had the sms issue, after flashing this rom i have the issue, i thought if put back 1.66 will fix it. but no luck any one experiencing this or any solutions please. thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
lol, unlucky, you must be gutted, but it begs the question, , why on earth flash a provider rom when you dont need to? its not even an upgrade, its only 1.66 with the fixes pre applied.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sreekanth1:
well i thought it was 1.72, now i know my bad. however if i put the voda sim in another phone it works and i put a o2 sim on the hd2 it works... so m scratchin my head.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
heh, easy mistake to make.

Not sure what you mean about the sim cards, but having a rom unlocked phone isnt the same as having a sim unlocked one. The unlocked o2 phones that got shipped (dunno if theyre all shipped unlocked now or what, ) are only rom unlocked, theyre still sim locked to O2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sreekanth1:
sim free as in not locked.... I FIXED IT hurray. tried flashing 1.43. 1.66. custom rom none worked. all i did was put an o2 sim in the device flashed the hk 1.72 rom (which i was using before anyways) hardreset as soon as it restarted. once fully up sent a test message with the o2 sim in the device. Proper shutdown ( not taking batter out) then put the voda sim went through setup as normal. and whooooollllla.. just simply works m happy now.. n never will flash a network rom learnt my lesson... lucky got away. I will post this as a fix soon maybe it'l help others

is this radio 2.07.51.22_3 from the o2 uk rom being extracted by any chance? i would like to try the radio only :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] SwiftNick:
O2 ROM Pulled from main HTC site index.

This link at the head of this thread works but it's not listed under support anymore.

The guide text has changed too.

NOTE: This update is for O2 UK devices currently on ROM version 1.43.206.4 only. Users with devices on ROM version 1.48.405.2 click here

followed be a link to the generic 1.66 release.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IlkhamG:
Hey guys, I'm sorry, this might be a stupid question... But here you go. I've got an HTC HD2 that I got in Malaysia, with ROM 1.66.707.1, and I was wandering if I should get the o2 update, since I use o2 update here in the UK???

I wanna know if it's gonna affect the fact that my phone is unlocked (whether I will be able to use it at home, when I go back).

And I also wanna know if there is a point in updating at all, cos for me it's just about being in top of things, you know.

Please take some patience and let me know=)

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chris10230:
nope wont work on your device. Its for O2-UK bought handsets only

If you want to run it you will have to use HSPL to flash it.

Cheers
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IlkhamG:
Ok... Now, having just done it, it tells me that my phone will not boot... It says that I've apparently installed smth from untrusted site or turned it off wrong... What do I do now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chris10230:
did you HSPL or jsut flash over your stock rom?

The more info you say the more help you will receive :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] IlkhamG:
Maan, it's fine now, thanks God. I had to reset it tho... All I wanted is to have a new ROM, but those ROM, HSTP and other complicated abbreviations make it soooo diff!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paulloft:
Which ROM to go for?

I need to reload my phone on Monday as I have had it a week and installed some dodgy apps on it which haven't uninstalled properly and theres a few things not working properly, so I'm going to clear it all off and start again before it gets too personalised.

The new O2 ROM has therefore come just at the right time and I might as well update that at the same time.

But what I would really like is a ROM with the official HTC Wifi router application included.

I assume this is not included on the new O2 ROM??

So which should I go for? The new O2 ROM or a the latest HTC HD2 ROM?

Do I have the choice?

I'm not bothered about the warranty issue as I would be happy to put the O2 ROM on if there were to be a problem in the future and clear the phone of personal stuff anyway.

So what would those of you more expert and experienced than me do???

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MalekoUK:
Either would be fine for you really, I guess find which one you can download and install easier!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Paulloft:
Thanks, went with the O2 official ROM. No problem with installation. Phone seems much faster, especially running through the tabs where it used to hesitate a bit. Don't know how much of that down to the problematic apps I had installed and how much down to the new ROM.

Now, I just need to:

Get the wifi router onto the phone - I tried Tom Codon wifi sharing app but it never seemed to drop the connection when switched off (my friend could still see my HD2 signal on his laptop with it switched off, so not sure about that app.

and solve the annoying sms issue where you have to wait for the app to highlight a message in the conversation list before typing a new message.

Onward and upward...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] chris10230:
anyone else notice on boot its 1.72.82124?

So we have a more up to date rom... I like it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] MalekoUK:
Indeed it does...dunno if its relevant or not, but would have thought so!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] EgoMaximus:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ramonguthrie:
damn there seems to be an issue with the "Text Input Settings" with this ROM, is there anyone else getting this problem?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mombasa kaz:
Ive had a couple of issues and O2 say that they dont support the phone.

first, my phone keeps freezing. i then have the pull out the battery and restart.

Second the text messages. When you tap the messages to reply, it does not bring up the rest of the message (although it seems to be doing that for me today though!) And Focus while typing the message goes to the last message received which can be EXTREMELY annoying!

Hi Guys,

I am sure you have answered this question a million times, i have broke my power button :( and i am downloading 1.72.206.3 to install it.

When i send it back to get fixed, will it be cool? I am using o2 insurance to claim so i am sure they will check.

Cheers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] samsamuel:
just make sure you remove hspl (if it is installed).

If it is installed, flash the rom you are downloading, then run hspl2 and choose 1.66.0000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tehhoe:
Thank you for quick responce :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tehhoe:
Just wanna double check that i am all legal :) on the bootloader is says 1.66.0000.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fallenmonk:
Still have not upgraded. My hd2 is still standard. Is the radio included in the download and do I have to spl or hspl before downloading this ROM ?. or just download it over my o2 1.43 rom?. thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fallenmonk:
Went on the website and doesn't mention spl or hspl so must mean just press the button and download. Thanks.

HD2 ROM

Hi Guys, can anyone recommend a stock ROM for my HD2, with a link if poss. I am on '3' the phone was originally on Virgin which uses the joint venture Everything Everywhere network formed by T mob and Orange. I can install the CAB file for '3' afterwards as they dont sell the HD2. I haven't been able to down load anything from the HTC site as all the ROMs say they are not intended for my serial No. HT03JNW04807. I've been using a cooked ROM and although the chefs are brilliant I've encountered a few issues and fancy going back to a stock. Thanks

[Touch2 ROM Development] Mr. Clown:
There's another thread with the same topic.

On that note, thread closed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norgan:
So what's the current consensus on branches? should we have a thread dedicated to what branches are what and what dev work is being done in each?

I notice there is no real place (unless i am missing it in which case i apologise) for current branches, what is being changed and what they contain.

from the first page of current builds thread:

212xx = AKU1, all builds leading up to and including WM 6.5

213xx = MOT motorola

214xx = ???

215xx = SAM samsung

216xx = HTC htc

217xx = COM1, continuing dev of 6.5.0.1 - 6.5.0.40

218xx = COM2, continuing dev of 6.5.0.50

219xx = MD, feature test branch, pretty much dead now. (unstable features are added here, this tree is based on COM1, so older base OS code, but the UI/UX code is newer)

22xxx = SEMC sony ericsson

*230xx = COM3, continuing development

*234xx = COM4, appears to be abandoned.

*235xx = COM5, more GUI changes here. New Outlook Interface.

*236xx = LG Electronics Branch

*24xxx = Possible HTC branch

*25xxx = SEMC - Sony Ericsson

*280xx, 282xx = WMD. This is a continuation of com3 from 23090. Most of the changes appear to be with IE

231xx has threaded email

235xx has threaded email

236xx has threaded email.

Maybe this doesn't quite need it's own thread but i am thinking we need some more real world reports of what these branches are doing and how they perform.

Can you guys help with making it a little clearer to chefs what thier choices are in terms of:

A: Build date (how new it is)

B: Device branch (what is it meant for, i.e. htc, samsung etc)

C: What GUI features does it have (i.e. threaded email, office 2010, close or "x" button)

D: Performance (how fast is it, memeory usage and load times etc)

E: Battery life (obvious)

I think this is the most relevant points we are after. If you post here what builds you are using and why you prefer those and any you have experimented with and what you found in them, i will update a clear table in a second post so chefs can easily get info on what code base is best to work with.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] norgan:
Builds Table

Build:

235xx (Com5)

Device - Generic

Gui - WM 6.5.5 - close button at bottom, threaded messages

Technical - main active branch?

Performance - Good!

Battery life - Reasonable

Any ideas on how best to calculate this are very welcome.

I will work on this more and try to apply some formatting, perhaps in a speadsheet and then drop an image once i get some info together abotu builds and a consensus on metrics.

I will formulate a poll to get an idea of what build you think is best in general.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] antny:
everyone whos asking for these .cabs for swype, facebook tabs for sense and so on should take a trip over to the ROM Development forum. most of the things people are asking for in these posts are already cooked into the roms. they tend to run a lot better than the stock roms and have updates coming out on a weekly basis. my personal favorite is the Energy series hence my signature but i suggest that you guys check all of them out you never know what youll like.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fil:
Not everyone likes to flash roms , and not all roms have every little cab you require in them, hence asking for them and theres no central place for them all either

And unless im mistaken, i also use an energy rom, but swype is not built into that!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Demonic240:
Yes, but all people would have to do is search. I have also seen a lot of posts requesting it.. and if people would take a look at the stickied thread they'll find it in the second post.

dafunk's NGTV taskbar WM 6.5.X
​

This taskbar is my mod from original Bilbobrian's (Brian's) one. I have inverted the colors black/white, but the original button layout is from Bilbobrian. Thanks Brian ;)

I followed the steps of DarkNinja and I thought to make it "modular", so that there will be more chances to get it working.

Thanks to DarkNinja and his staff.

The taskbar is fully compatible CDMA and GSM.

I don't own a Leo, so I couldn't test it directly, but I have positive feedbacks from many devices: Blackstone, Leo, TP, TP2 and others.

​

Here is the animation of the custom wait cursor...hope you like it :D

The taskbar is in two versions: with "classic signal bars" and with "Black signal bars". See the image above.

---------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL THE TASKBAR

1) - The taskbar has the certification inside, anyway the safest way to start the installation is to install sdkcert.cab first.

2)- Choose which version you install: with classics or with black signal bars.

3) - Your volume icons will not be skinned.

Download the file dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll Fixes.zip where inside you will find 4 different versions of HTCVolumeControl.dll:

dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1920.1327.cab

dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1920.3625.cab

dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 1921.3629.cab

dafunk HTCVolumeControl.dll 2011.3221.cab

If you are experiencing strange issues with volume or you have the volume control "broken", showing the ugly Windows Mobile volume control, try to install a different volume fix from the four provided.

You have to find which works good for you....you can still unistall it and install another fix if the one installed is not good.

4) - Perform a soft reset.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS PERFORM A SOFT RESET after installed or uninstalled some stuff! :D

And.......please, report feedbacks specifying your DEVICE, ROM, and OS VERSION

---------------------------------------------------------------​

Hope you like it....

Have fun(k) :D

EXTRAS​

Screenshots of the NGTV CHT Locker graphics for GTX

**********************************************************

NGTV CHT Locker graphics​

There are at the bottom of the post 3 ZIP files: with classic signal bars, with black signal bars and with black signal bars for GTX theme.

The CHT Locker graphics are the graphics installed with Co0kie Home Tab: the battery icons showed when the device is locked, the locker icon and the active pages indicator icons.

Of course I made this for users of the taskbar who want to have the icons matching with their NGTV taskbar.

You will find into each ZIP 2 versions that differs only for the locker icon.

The locker icon in the image above is the #1.

**********************************************************

Taskbar backgrounds​

I made a taskbar background that is very nice IMHO for NGTV and GTX Sense Theme. I made the top right system clock background in the same style of NGTV but in black (the system hour is white....).

You can find the cabs at the bottom of the post, and there are a version for WM 6.5 (height 52 pixels) and a version for WM 6.5.X (height 36 pixels).

USE THE CABS IF ONLY YOU INSTALL THE TASKBAR BACKGROUND OVER GTX SENSE THEME.

The cab will install the file into Windows/GTX_Theme so will work only for this one.

You can also use the taskbar backgrounds with other themes, but you have to find out the name of the PNG of the taskbar of your theme, then rename and copy/replace it into the same folder with one of the following two PNGs.

Here the PNGs:

This is for WM 6.5

This is for WM 6.5.X

dafunk's NGTV taskbar 4 T-Mobile US stock (WM 6.5)

​

My apologies to all the T-Mobile US stock users. I know that you had to do Hard Resets and believe me I'm really sorry.​

But I wanted to made from scratch especially for you the NGTV. I took the .dlls from gfreek's v6 taskbar and edited them.

So, many thanks MASTER gfreek ;)

This taskbar is my mod from original Bilbobrian's (Brian's) one. I have inverted the colors black/white, but the original button layout is from Bilbobrian. Thanks Brian ;)

The taskbar is fully compatible CDMA and GSM.

I don't own a Leo, so I couldn't test it directly, but I have positive feedbacks from many devices: Blackstone, Leo, TP, TP2 and others.

​

Here is the animation of the custom wait cursor...hope you like it :D

The taskbar is in two versions: with "classic signal bars" and with "Black signal bars". See the image above.

The taskbar will install the default windows flag for Start button. See the image above. You can find alternative versions of the Start button graphics for classic/black signal bars in the attachments at the bottom of this post.

If you want to get rid of the "Start" text you can find the NO_START Patch WWE in the attachments at the bottom of post #1.

---------------------------------------------------------------

HOW TO INSTALL THE TASKBAR

1) - The taskbar has the certification inside, anyway the safest way to start the installation is to install sdkcert.cab first.

2)- Choose which version you install: with classics or with black signal bars.

Note: don't make the mistake to install directly one of the alternative Start button cabs. It will only install "shellres.192.dll" and not the full taskbar. Install the taskbar first.

3) - Perform a soft reset.

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS PERFORM A SOFT RESET after installed or uninstalled some stuff! :D

And.......please, report feedbacks specifying your DEVICE, ROM, and OS VERSION

---------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU DIDN'T READ THE OPENING POST AND INSTALLED THE WM6.5 NOT FOR T-Mobile,

TRY TO DO THE FOLLOWING TO UNINSTALL THE TASKBAR:

If your left hard key is still programed for voice, you can do a long hold and then voice comand "open settings" and go to apps for a quick uninstall.

Thanks to snasearles for the tip.

---------------------------------------------------------------​

Hope you like it....

Have fun(k) :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dafunk2:

But....I don't understand well what you mean...

The taskbar only changes the icons of the taskbar.

For the taskbar BAR and for the bottom bar (taskbar and softkeybar) you have to change the PNGs of those files...it's not related to taskbar installation.

Anyway follow my signature and try to install my black version of the taskbar, so you can see if it works for you ;)
