Hi guys, im gunna be very nooby cuz I don't own a HD2 but am looking to buy one. What flaws are there in running WP7 on a HD2? I saw there was multitouch problem before (dont know whether that's solved), camera (I dual boot android for this issue) and apparently too loud sound? is there any more? Also, how long do you guys think development will last for HD2? reply would be much appreciated. thanks in advance :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] arizmin:
Using microsoft chat support.. i got my activation code within 3mins... now i can fully enjoy this WP7 with those free apps...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
I wouldn't recommend to buy HD2 at all!!! First - there are some possible hardware problems with HD2 - overheating and reboots(on some particular phones cold solder of CPU you don't know when you buy - heat cause reboot or freeze), digitizer problem - may stop working over time because hardware buttons push to digitizer cable.

WP7 on HD2 has bugs unlikely solved(drivers) - multitouch, camera, battery reporting and some more minors. With Mango you can't do dual boot Android(at least now).

Development for WP7 HD2 will not last too long beacuse of many reasons.

If you have it already and it is working -- than good for some experiments, but to buy now -- noo..(many people will not agree with me)

Android is way better and more open OS than WP7. I used both OS and had two HD2(one sold, one now left, but broken digitizer - going to fix and sell). If you realy like WP7 buy real WP7 device.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daniel_kiefer:
You can dual boot Mango and Android, I do it and so do plenty of other people. I don't think development will stop anytime soon for this phone because of some really avid devs. Just my $.02
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zcdg:
Yes you are right recently it become possible to dual boot with Mango, but why need to do that. Android works better from NAND and HD2 works better with Android(still not everything perfect even with Android on HD2). There is nothing special you can do on WP7 that can't be done on Android. Also with WP7 on HD2 a lot of bigs with drivers. So with HD2 you will have phone which is not working perfectly on WP7 and Android(realy small problems, but exists) - both. HD2 is good for experiments - like always flashing and flashing something. But if someone want to have real experience of WP7 perfectly working they just should know they won't have it on HD2. They need to buy real WP7 device. Actualy i will say the same for Android.

I know couple of people who bought HD2 because they think it doesn't have problem with WP7 and Android and now very upset. So it is just warning for some.

Im sorry but if I flash this rom and remove my previous one. Would I once again have to partition my sd for android dual boot? And reflash android aswell?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] FD10:
You can update to 1.02 version installing the xap attached at first post ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sakem:
Unfortunately, a fresh WP7 install format the SD :/. On every possible roms u can find. Maybe in the future (cross my fingers :( )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] FD10:
I have this problem too...i can't sync my gmail contacts...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ADIT277:
it take some time to sync google account with the contacts,

-when deploy icon, calendar icon shape still remain with dot of themes colors

if my report its been yellin by another pardon me,.

so far so good..:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] LaneyEFC:
sorry but that was my question .... teccan9nja << copied and pasted.... back to it anyways.. i downloaded hard spl and magldr but i dont get tha far i cant flash the radio nvm them, its just as i press update on the radio it stays at 0% and doesnt move until an error pops up on pc ERROR (262)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] DARTHDETH:
No it keeps the same partition form your previous WP7 rom, new memory though..
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bryangopan:
The same code should work unless you shared it with some one

PM me if you need help with activation code
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jkxklutz:
I previously saved my contacts into Microsoft Myphone, then flashes this ROM. I have activated it, but am having trouble signing into windows live to restore my contacts. When I try, I get an Attention Required notice, and I get error 86000206.

When I go back in, the server information is filled out as m.hotmail.com and the Logging is that off (recommended). Is this how to access Microsoft Myphone?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jkxklutz:
Ok, after lots of searching, it's confirmed.

If you synced your old WM 6.x device to Microsoft Myphone, you WILL NOT be able to restore your contacts on your new WM7 OS. Before you flash to WM7, if you're on WM 6.x, sync it to Windows Live, NOT Myphone!

Here's a link with details on how to properly backup your contacts before flashing to WM7. The op might want to include this on the front page.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] daniel_kiefer:
I haven't seen this yet. I've flashed the ROM and it seems to be working, but when I try to deploy a xap using Windows Phone Development tools it says the phone is locked.

EDIT. Seems to be working now. No idea what's going on.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] michie:
Hello, I'm new to this so i don't know if this is a bug or not, is it normal that they keys only light up when u press them and not when the screen is on?

Or is this just a setting within windows ?

Thanks for the great work!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kastel07:
This ROM is great! It runs so smooth, but I was wondering if all 576 mb of RAM is being used in this ROM? When running advanced config it states that the total memory is 371 mb? I have the default radio of the latest T-Mobile firmware so 576 mb should be read? If anyone has any information about this subject it would be greatly appreciated. Hope all is well.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] CrazyEye:
Did I read this correct... Wireless N?!

I thought the HD2 wasn't able to use N wireless....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Pens and DreamS:
Thankks man
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Neolo:
Is it made from new ms update that should be released 2 days ago?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sakem:
There actually were NO update ^^

All the current roms are based on DFT release
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] bayugur:
in coming call's sound is low. how can we increase-boost sound? (it's at top position with volume button.)

is there a regedit tweak for this?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] IzaacJ:
Got a problem... Stuck at hTc screen...

HSPL: 2.08

MAGLDR: 1.13

Radio: 2.15.50.14

DFT rom works nice, but this one dont.

Did a task 29, installed radio, then magldr and last this rom... Tried the same procedure thrice now without success... Any ideas?

And I dont think its the card, as i can see in minitool that it has been partitioned for WP7...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] sijomanjaly:
hi can anyone help me to get the activation key for w7 . i tried hard , contacted ms but no use they are asking for the IMEI number ....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] desemdein:
Hi and first i want to thank you for your effort.

I was using HTC HD2 with latest official WWE Rom. So first, I flashed the erliest official ROM to my device to get rid of SPL 3.0 blabla. After that, I flashed Hardspl 2.something which is latest and the radio rom and the magldr.

Everything went perfect and now i can use WP7 activated

BUT

my phone keeps restarting itself randomly, when idle or doing something. Do you have any ideas to solve this? And is there another radio version that your WP7 work with?

thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sakem:
Relationship with XBmod's rom ?!

Think we need more modos here cos the HD2 section is becoming a complete mess. Almost unreadable :mad:

Can be your SD. Some SD are not "compatible" with WP7 (got a bad experience with a Kingston 8Gb C4)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] desemdein:
Wow, those fast responses make people feel less stressed as I am still trying to fix my phone in the middle of the night and I have to work tomorrow.

Thank you but I already removed SD card to check it, still keeps restarting
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sakem:
Well, it's seems you followed the procedure (get rid of SPL3...)and if it's not your sd, try to reinstall the rom (maybe do a task29 before ;) )

If you still have those problems I hope for you it's not hardware malfunctions :/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] desemdein:
the only thing i can do is task29, than do everything from the very beginning. But i afraid this wont solve the problem either because i feel a little warmness the lower part of the phone both the screen and backwards, so it can be hardware problem. Right?

Edit: And when i switched the phone to airplane mood, da daaaaa, no warmness no restart everything is cool. I wonder if my hd2 doesnt want to be a phone any more :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sakem:
Lower part of the phone is...the battery, right ? So it's kind of normal that sometimes it gets little warmer ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] desemdein:
I mean more lower part, lower than battery, sd card and sim card. Backward of the buttons.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RaiderX303:
any way to get original icons back?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] jenzy1985:
2 Version of this Rom would be nice. One with original Icons and the other with custom Icons
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] RaiderX303:
i agree with this, the custom icons dont go with the whole WP7 simple theme.

also for anyone interested, i have attached a replacement for the icons in the first post which removes the corners off the icons aswell
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Gootah:
So lemme get this str8...

I'm lead to believe that there is no consequence to requesting and activation code...when I call are they gonna ask me what phone it is? Do I say its an HD7? After that will I be fully featured?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] matthewharmon102:
wow some people really need to learn how to search!

if you dont have an activation code: phone up microsoft and ask for one, say you have a hd7, and google for an imei (or look at unboxing/taking apart videos of the hd7 on youube and u might find one!)

if you have an activation code: you can activate the same phone over and over, so as long as it is the same phone it will activate

NOT ALL SD CARDS WORK WITH WINDOWS PHONE 7!!!! if you have issues, its probably your SD card or you havent followed the instructions. there are loads of guides on here and youtube.

also, if you are having issues getting the rom on your phone, make sure you are running the program as administrator on the pc (right click>run as administrator)

if your having sync issues, check your settings in the settings menu (main menu>settings>people and accounts) it may be that you are not syncing contacts by default. try it over wifi rather than 3g if you are syncing a lot of data.

now for my little review:

been using this rom for the past 2 days and other then hardware related touch screen issues it seems to run pretty well. the Tom XAP Installer (1.2) is a bit hit and miss, saying it cant detect the phone, or the screen is locked, but it seems to install the apps eventually. zune sync works fine, market place works fine, xbox live works fine. camera issues still present as with other builds. multi touch i cant say ive noticed any problems. 3g good, wifi good, sync good, location/gps works fine. only issue i have found is sometimes apps close themselves. seems to happen on newly installed apps and i have to open them 3 or 4 times, then the problem goes away. htc hub visually impressive. sound enhancer works about 30-40% of the time. does get warm when charging/connected to pc or after long use. havent yet installed the update that was posted but i will give it a go now. games smooth, apps run smoothly. battery life is on par with most android builds ive tried, maybe a little better. my phone is 15 months old though!

overall a very good rom, looking forward to the update!

p.s i will be writing a review of your rom for my blog, so i will post a link when i do!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] matthewharmon102:
all the activation code does is let you use live services: hotmail, xbox live, marketplace etc. everything else works without the code. just call MS and say you have bought a new HD7 and its asking for an actvation code. they will probably ask for you name and phone no and email, and in the UK they are verifying these details by calling/emailing so i would give them real info. if they say u should already have a code, say your partner thre away the boxes and manuals so you dont have anything that came with the phone. if they ask for an imei look on youtube at an unboxing or taking apart video and you will pobably get a shot of one. all they use that for is to verify the phone is a hd7.

i called them about a week ago, had to give my name, number and email. didnt ask for imei or anything else. code was generated for me and read out over the phone, then the next day i got an email with the code, and a phone call asking to rate my experience (i gave it 10/10, as i got a code without giving them a penny!). if you look at the threads i started, i wrote a guide on what to expect
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hatorihanzo:
hi, it would be great to fix the multitouch support.. not sure if it's the game problem or not but when i press two button simultaniously it just dont work. i.e.jump shoot, etc. happens to many games so i'm not sure if this is the software or games problem. Apart from that, everything else is awesome! Still thinking on how to get a hands on the serial number to activate the windows.. does anyone has a keygen? does it exist? or calling call center is the only way? I lived in thailand not sure if they could provide serials here or not.

I'm actually using Radio 5.51.09.29 and everything seems to be working fine..

Do I still need to change my radio version?
[Vibrant General] HumanTarget:
Originally I was on stock 2.1 rooted with the official update and ad-free android was working fine. The other day I used kies mini to get the official 2.2 froyo update as per tmobile's instructions, then I re-rooted with super one click. All my root only apps are working fine and able to get SU permissions, including ad-free android. I run ad-free android like I always have and it just doesn't block any ads at all, neither in apps or on the web.

I've search the forums for days but can't make sense of any of the threads that seem related.

Hoping someone can put me on the right track.

So far I have tried:

1. Reverting, and redownloading/reapplying hosts. (Within ad-free android.)

2. Uninstalling, rebooting, and reinstalling.

And to summarize my state, I'm stock 2.2 with root and the only root apps I have are wifi tether, barnacle and ad-free android and they all report getting superuser permissions successfully.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
It was doing this for me too. I would check for host updates but it would say they are the latest and still would not.block ads. A reinstall, update of hosts file and reboot worked for me though.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
So I have to play devils advocate but why block the ad's. I realize that they can be annoying but after listening to droid cast and following some of the app dev's on twitter I can say that I no longer use them.

Biggest reason to not use an ad blocker is to support your dev's otherwise they go to the apple side to make more money.

But anyway like the other user said make sure you have the most up todate files. then It will work.
[Vibrant General] HumanTarget:
also tried:

3: settings/manage apps/clear data

-Uninstall, reboot, reinstall, redownload/apply hosts

-reboot, still ads :confused:
[Vibrant General] HumanTarget:
I want to block ads on websites primarily, and also block ads in angry birds, which I've already paid for on iPod touch.

But ya I tried all that and it still doesn't block ads. It's very weird. It says it's all set and up to date, but no ads anywhere are blocked.
[Vibrant General] sahil04:
Yep, I only care about ads on websites that are misplaced and horribly annoying (flash ad's come to mind). I don't mind having ad's in apps/games that are free.

I use adblock + flashblock on Firefox because of my reasons above, however I do let ad's on certain sites load to support the site owner (xda and teamwhiskey sites for example). I don't mind ad's like google adsense which aren't really annoying, but some sites just overkill on the ad's and force me to block them.
[Vibrant General] HumanTarget:
I think I figured it out, my /system directory was 100% full.

I used root uninstaller (free from market, by "android text") to remove telenav gps then reinstalled ad-free and now it's all good.

Hope it helps someone else. :)

This begs the question though as to why my /system is 100% full.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MishXT:
Hey,

can some one guide me to where i can download the original ROM for the Desire Z?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Beagan:
i dont think theres any just stock plain desire z rom, villianrom however is a great desire z rom if you would want that
[G2 and Desire Z General] MishXT:
is there any with the htc sense because my friend as an idiot didnt backup his orginial rom and decided to install the gingerbread 2.3 gingervillain rom
[G2 and Desire Z General] takram:
I looked through the sticky and I think this is what you're looking for (make sure before you flash!).

If you want to try dabbling in some custom SENSE roms, VillainROM is one (though I'm not sure on the development status with other projects like Gingervillain going on. The other alternative is Virtuous. Virtuous seems to be the go-to sense rom amongst G2/DZ users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Beagan:
yep hes right :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simopala:
Hi,

I have rooted my HTC Desire with Pre-rooted Stock Froyo 2.29.405.2/5 INIT.D ROM v3.1.

I've istalled radio and POWERSAVING MODPACK 1.6.

How I can check that the POWERSAVING MODPACK is istalled correctly?

Sorry if my question is stupid, but I can't understand if the powersaving is being done or not ;-)

Thanks in advance

Simo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
It looks to do it all automatic. If it flashed and it booted then it's installed. Nothing more to tell really. Just look at your battery consumption and see if you notice a difference.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Exactly that, battery life will be vastly improved. I made my own ROM using the same pack cooked into it and I go to bed with 50-60% still left during the week, 30-40% during the weekends (obviously use it more)

[G Tablet General] goog64:
New G tab arrived. I have been very thorough - I read the "install CWM guide" about 50 times and I've been here reading for weeks. Was excited all night. Woke up, got everything ready, instructions, downloads, WinRAR, etc

Turned on G tab and laptop (Vista), plugged in USB.

The G tab comes up on my laptop as Removable Disk E. So I tried to extract the Clockwork files from my laptop to Removable Disk E and it says "Please Insert a Disk into Removable Disk E."

I tried about 5 times. I tried inserting USB and waiting 15 minutes (twice). Please can someone explain what I'm supposed to do?

When the guy on YouTube plugs in his G tab, a notification comes up about mounting the USB. Mine doesn't do that; there's no indication on my G tab that it's plugged in via USB. Should there be?

Thanks guys, I'm very anxious!
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

Under Settings ==> Applications, is the checkbox for "USB Debugging" checked, or is it unchecked?

For just transferring files via USB, that "USB Debugging" setting should be UNCHECKED, otherwise the USB connection is setup to work with ADB.

Jim
[G Tablet General] powercrazy:
When you plug your gtab into your windows/mac, your tab should show in the notification bar that it has been plugged in via USB. It might show to indications:

1) That you are connected

2) That you are in debug mode

If it shows the second as well you need to disable debugging mode otherwise the internal drive will not mount properly on the computer. To disable 'debug' mode when the USB is connected go under system settings->Applications->Development and ensure that 'USB Debugging' is unchecked. Once unchecked, reconnect to your PC again.

Let me know if that was your problem?
[G Tablet General] goog64:
Thank you guys. You have given me hope.

I am at work now --- will try in 6 hours and let you know.
[G Tablet General] goog64:
I raced home with great anticipation and looked at 'USB debugging'.

Unfortunately it was unchecked which is how you guys said it should be.

(But when I clicked on it it said that this was to allow data transfer from computer to G tab ----- isn't that what I want??)

Can anyone else offer any suggestions please? I would really appreciate it.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Debugging won't stop you from transferring files. When you plug your usb into the Gtab pull down the notification bar and you should see "USB connected, Select to copy files to/from your computer". Select this and another window will open up. Push the button in the corner that reads "Turn on USB storage". A popup will open and you need to select "OK". Now your computer should see your tab
[G Tablet General] goog64:
thanks badfrog!

I had just found a solution before I read your post.......I plugged the USB cable in to the G tab and laptop and then turned on the G tab.

I will try your method next time, thank you.

Everything else seemed to work and now I have Vegan running. Let the learning commence (I don't even know how to put songs on the thing yet!!).

uhhhhhhh... interesting to see ViewSonic coming to the battleground :D

they used to be famous for their Displays and Monitors... i wonder if they plan to release their own screens to fight against Samsung & Sony
[Nexus S General] Bmerz:
Should be interesting. Also, I had not heard of a ViewSonic phone before this article, and I am not sure if I am liking its design.

Nonetheless, based on what you said, it's good to see others come along and hopefully compete with Samsung, especially since so many people do not like or want a Samsung phone - other than to have Samsung's beautiful phone screen.
