Hspl is first step then a x.xx.50.xx radio, I'm liking the 2.15.50 radio, install android compatible winmo rom, select android build you'd like to try, unzip to sd card.. Use file explorer find android folder, inside android folder find and tap clrcad.exe (will not show response), then haret.exe wait for android to boot..blurry mms is usually on tmous.. And the rest of it mostly has been fixed.. If you don't like it, deleted it from sd card. Play with phone for next couple hrs.. Have fun!!

swyped from my HD2 Android

Not for the faint hearted!!!

I genuinely don't want to sound harsh, but you really need to take a step back, go grab a cup of coffee or green tea, then Read some more.

Any pointers that anyone gives you in this thread will just be a shortcut/ outline to the info that's already there.

If you don't read up before hand you prob' won't have a grasp on what you are doing & run into the issues you mentioned.

Best advice is to be patient & read the info that's available, its worked for a lot of peeps n it can work for you.

However if you're not into rolling ur sleeves up, go get the desire. ;)

small tip tho...

Squish099 has given you the general direction you need to go in, that's a good start, then go with the most popular rom threads to start with (applies to winmo & android) as you are more likely to get a response if you get stuck.

Good luck!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jigners:
I agree with Kam33, reading loads of stuff can make one feel overwhelmed

but, a simple suggestion, is to take your time, do a careful performance of

recommended steps. Learning comes from experience, as the saying goes

that applies here also in XDA:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] eyan15:
Guys, this Dell phone is riddled with problems, so if at all you are waiting to get this, check the following before you walk out of the store

The Problems,

1. Some phones (the initial ones) had "Engineering Sample" labeled on the battery. MS store called folks with these phones to come in and swap it

2. Some of these ES phones had Wifi issues (won't connect to a secure network)

3. The swapped phones (the supposedly the better made ones) have an 'Invalid SIM' error. It wont take any SIM card

Thing to do:

1. Right now do not get ones from Dell directly, can't imagine dealing with them, at least with MS you can get some face time and they are for most part polite.

2. If you have the ES model, and no issues do not swap it right now. IF you have to then check the new phone. Even if it works right out of the box, restart it couple of times and/or try another SIM card.

2a. They might tell you it's T-Mobile issue and it's not. Stand your ground

3. If you are on the fence, get the HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Sounds like the Dell Aero, crappy phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Looks like that one is a true disaster. Just look at the articles on WMPoweruser.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lip:
Typical Dell...they really just should have let MS do everything for them and let them brand label it Dell...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
1. This is not an issue. Dell said the batteries were simply mislabeled, and they are real batteries.

2. ES as in Spain? Dunno if it affects everyone.

3. /shrugs/ You'll know that before you walk out of the store.

The thread title and the first couple sentences are a bit sensationalized considering one issue is a known limitation of the platform that will be remedied by an update, one issue isn't an issue AT ALL, and the other is limited to a specific region/country.

Also, it's impossible for a manufacturer to pin hardware issues on a carrier. Carriers just sell the hardware. The manufacturer makes the hardware. If the hardware is faulty, it's impossible for it to be the carrier's fault unless their salepeople are breaking the phones in the store (or the carrier is handing out faulty SIM cards, of course).
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
Dell made my decision easy. Picking up an HD7 later this week.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
really wanted to try out the VP, but when it was delayed and that 4.3in screen lit up in the store....

What can I say...
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yea, the delays didn't help them, but there is no other QWERTY WP7 device out right now, so Dell won't miss a few sales due to an XDA thread, TBH. There are still thousands of people who will camp the stores for this phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
To be honest after this I will never buy a Dell phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] conyeje2:
Well....

For dell's sake, since they make decent computers, and apparently did well with the dell streak, i'm hoping that they're able to iron out all of the issues with the venue pro, especially since its form factor is hot.

But I was planning on getting a phone from htc or samsung, and not from dell, for the mere fact that I still feel a bit burned after their mp3 player run. They came out with the dell jukebox, which I bought and loved, then the second gen dell jukebox, which I upgraded to and loved even more, and they they went cold turkey, closed up shop, and disappeared from the mp3 player business. It left me feeling sad, empty, and without another mp3 player to upgrade to. In fact, they're the reason why I began looking to phones as mp3 players, and finally met and fell in love with the htc 8525.

Anyways, I'm not gonna mess with anything that is dell other than computers, cause I don't know if tomorrow they'll decide to stop making and supporting phones and dip into the shoe market or something.

New Kies mini is here. It shows that JI6 is still the current version. For about 5 minutes my hopes were high just to crush hard.

[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Yeah he says he'll post a pic soon, but idk. He has played jokes before so we'll see if hes lying or telling the truth.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I'm at work now but I loaded up Kies on my home VM, but you need the damn phone to check for updates, lame. Hopefully it's real. It would make whoever said that the update would be pushed on the 22/21. We'll see.
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
Yeah i opened Kies Mini 3 times before it updated to the latest version. I havn't plugged my phone in yet because i have my phone rooted with a custom rom so i aint trying to mess nothing up. Im just waiting on that guy to see if he posts them pics. Itll be cool if its true but we'll see.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
I've checked it with my phone, no update, and been calling BS in the thread over there.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
I'm running JI6 and removed my root and found no update.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I updated Mini Kies but bet it's just a precursor is all. Takes him "10 minutes" to post a screenshot with Build and other info. That sounds like a winner..
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
I would of been ok if he could of typed the build info I asked for. because I'm guessing he doesn't know how the build sequence works and would of botched it up saying it's build JH7 or something else that wouldn't be right.
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
That Dudes known for lying though, so it wouldnt be too surprising that he would be lying again. And your right it shouldn't be too hard to look at the build number and kernel and just type it if her weren't lying.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
When he replies with the build of the Kies program, he's a moron.

You "I hate kids" haha, love it.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
Yep and all of the computer problems and unable to post pics. As I said with his last thread about Froyo being out Ban him but one of the useless mods over there said no rules were broken.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
Should we all click the report button on his first post?
[Vibrant General] presence06:
I don't like the mods there. They don't accept criticism to others, and they never find nothing wrong with stupid posts like "ZOMG FROYO!!!!!". It's stupid.
[Vibrant General] krazie1:
He Lied like Always. Whatever then.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
yea.. wow.

Anyways, at least we know that Kies was updated, hopefully this means that Froyo COULD be around the corner. Or like someone else said that it might just be an update to their already ****ty software.
[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
that was me that said just to update their ****ty software. On Twitter they said we will have an update by the end of the year.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
I read that thread for a minute. Seems he tried to say that he was running Froyo/JI6. Some people will do anything for attention. Oh hey BTW look at me.......
[Vibrant General] bigtom624:
I was able to update Kies Mini but now when i plug in my phone a window pop's up saying MiniApplication has stopped working, then the program closes. I have a HP laptop running Windows 7 64 bit. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
Tough feeling to have, but I'm guessing you'll be having that feeling for at least another 4-5 weeks, if not significantly longer (if/when they miss their 2010 commitment, I think all bets are off).
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Kies Mini no longer recognizes my stock JI6 vibrant after update, with or without USB debugging on.

I have it installed on an XP 32-Bit machine.

Just comes up with a dialog box asking me what I want to do, since Windows sees media on the phone's file systems.

Gonna just go ahead and uninstall all this stuff.
[Vibrant General] azsamsancho:
Same here -- after updating kies mini, it can no longer recognize my vibrant as connected -- with or without debugging on. What happened?? I am on an XP machine. I regret updating the kies mini now.
[Vibrant General] Wesie:
Kies Mini shows also today, that the phone contains the last version (JI6).

About the connection-Error:

I've select the " Ask for every connection " and after connect the Mobile on an own USB-Port ( Not HUB) and waiting ~15sec. Kies recognize the phone, just after I closed the pop-up from Windows, what does he should do ( open folder etc... )

Before I have used Kies-Mini, I have installed the normal Kies Application and I was go sure, that this "Big Kies" found also the mobile. After installation of Kies-Mini, I've uninstalled the "Big-Kies" Maybe a driver issue ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
Hi, i have some questions for you guys

1: Are there something out there which makes me able to choose winmo or android when i boot up my phone?

2: If that exists, where is the newest version of android?? what should i install... i really wanna keep winmo on my phone cause i think it looks nice, its just a little buggy.. thats why i wanna try out android...

I have seen these "harret" android versions which you can boot on top of windows, but doesnt that just slow down the phone.. to having two OS's running???

THX, Qwak
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Eelkede:
It's the only way (for now) to boot your android, so yeah, there are several programs that allow you to choose between Winmo or Android at startup.

Newest version of android...well depends on what build you use. I suggest reading some more information on these boards to see what suits you best.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Haret doesn't run Android alongside Windows, it kicks Windows out of the phone's memory, and boots Android from the SD card. Android will run nice and fast. :)

As far as an app to choose which operating system you want to use upon booting up your device, Exceller bootlauncher is the way to go.

Just look in HD2 Android Developement forum, or do a search using the site's search function and keyword exceller, you're sure to find it.

Try a few different Android builds, they're all great, and Exceller will allow you to choose between different builds.

You just cant have them in folders named the same thing, so you may have to edit the startup.txt in your Android folders so that your rel_path corresponds with what you name your folder to.

Might sound confusing now, but once you get down to it, it'll seem simple
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
you write that it "kicks windows out"... just to be sure, windows will still be there right??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] creativeevent:
yeah, windows will still be there... it never leaves you :D

what huggs mean is, that windows will not be running in the background. I will be "kicked out" of the memory.

When you reboot your Leo fom android - guess what - windows will load first again...

You'll see, it never leaves you :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
ok super nice!!

one last question: i have downloaded a version of android, but the file contains three folders: android, data_512, data_1024... is it nessesary to copy all three folder over??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
No you don't have to, just copy the "Android" folder to sd card then choose either th data.img in one of the two folders ( copy the 1024's Data if you want 1GB of storage and copy the 512's data if you want 512 MB of storage) :D Have fun !

Edit ::

Copy the data.img into the Android folder
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
hey again... just found some new questions:

i just found a guide on how to install android, and it seems that i have to flash my rom and change my radio.. i have heard about flashing roms before, but never really knew how it would affect my phone..

q1: will flashing rom (and radio) delete the os?

q2: can i always go back to my old rom/radio??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
yes you can, just write them down beforehand

[/QUOTE]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
what do you mean with write them down? sry for my many questions :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
np, I mean when you're booting your phone you can see some numbers on the bottom left, just write these numbers down, when you want to return to your original Radio/Rom just download the corresponding numbers from the Radio/ROM thread you can find at the ROM development section :) (But trust me, you would never want to return to your originals. as soon as you flash your new ones you'll find out that your previous were useless :D)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
ok, i think i have one last question..

Will installing another rom/radio/android remove my warranty???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
Since you'll be needing HSPL for radio/rom flashing then yes. I'm not sure wether there is a way around it, but you may give SSPL a look, it doesn't void your warranty .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qwak:
oh well.. it says i can just install the stock spl and it should be fine...

Hi,

i installed CHT 2.0 (+editor) on a HTC official ROM ( the last one).

i have some (maybe) "bugs", and need your help !

1-/ When the HD2 wake up from a black screen ( sleep screen), the hour, in the clock have 1 hour more ! ( very annoying for alarm clock )

2-/ i delete my mails when i read them.... but the HD2 ALWAYS reload them !

( from a gmail account)

3-/ Same problem with SMS: i delete them, but after 5 or 10mn, they come back !

4-/ sometimes, HTC Sense have big bug with i put the HD2 in landscape orientation for choosing an album ( music album page)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Shouldn't you post it to CHT thread?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Mhhh, better yet ZaxXx, post it in your rom thread is what I would think, 5tef.

However looking again, I see you are using a STOCK rom?

Hmmm, that seems odd then.

I would say you have another app causing you conflicts then. But I can't see the relation of these issues to CHT at all.

These are not CHT issues and would have gotten more attention in CHT thread, if they were relevant, yes.

Though I am curious of your landscape music player bug.

Do you have a screenshot of this "bug"?

As the default landscape in music tab, had issues, that are typically better with CHT installed, in my experience.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 5tef:
ok, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bjerde:
Hi Santod,

I'm not quite sure if this is unrelated to CHT. I had the same problem a couple of days ago when I was abroad. I've configured the phone not to update/download things because of the roaming costs. My phone clock went crazy during these days abroad. When I got home again the clock was ok. I suspect this is because I've set the phone to sync the clock with NIST. This has never happened before when I've travelled, ie. when a had earlier versions CHT.

Pretty hyped for this. Does jk3 seem snappier then our captivate leaks?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Looks like I may be coming back to the Cognition side. I unfortunately left after Axura came around as it was undoubtedly faster, at least by my standards, but since you are incorporating some of the things that contribute to its' speed, I can come back to the good side. FYI-I was following Cog for forever and flashed every build you had up to b6. I can not wait for this release!!!

Thanks DG. I'll have to give it a whirl.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
JK3 was the reason I left Cog in the first place. It is fast as hell when paired with the correct modem. I am currently loving Axura, which is JK3 based, but will be coming back to Cog if this is up to par.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its blows the doors off of (unofficial)official captivate roms. Its faster then the i9000 stuff too. (jk3 is i9000m)

Actually, that is the same vibrant rom I used for 2.4, he just has the modem in there now from JK3, which is the best modem now.
[Captivate Android Development] jwood55812:
Oooh can't wait to try this out when you post it DG! I love the i9000 roms for some reason...
[Captivate Android Development] Smallsmx3:
I'm pretty sure axura is based off of a vibrant rom...the only thing that is jk3 is the modem. I think its so fast is becase all of the TW stuff is replaced....its also overclocked at 1.2 ghz. Plus it has ULF which in my opinion is alot faster than voodoo

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
This has HSUPA right?
[Captivate Android Development] killer23d:
JK3 is designed for Bell (Canada)'s i9000m, they have a slight hardware difference than the i9000. So this should be great for all North American variant with the exception of the camera app. You may want to use the Captivate/Vibrant version.

Running JK3 for a night now, most reception issues related to 850Mhz is gone. HSDPA is working (from reports) and the buzzing noise during calls are gone too!

Language pack that come with this will be: English (Canadian), French (Canadian) and Korean (duh.... Samsung is Korean)

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
yessir

It is english only, all the csc stuff was brought over from cognition. Dates, times, etc have all been americanized. Camera has been swapped, contacts, dialer, etc...

you see video call in two places, one in the settings for setting the video call ringtone and a video call button when a call ends(using jpo phone.apk and phone_util.apk for band selection)

Sound over bluetooth and headset are crystal clear, as they should be.

Do you smell what designgears is cookin!!?

haha, couldn't resist.

As I said I do believe. So I stand corrected.

If this is i9000 based, we lose the menu key, correct? Or is that different from the regular i9000 re-oriented roms?
