It would be great if there was a list for the issues. I think H2DOwner could help users a lot with including the list somewhere in the first post, as he obviously has the best overview.

Could someone please confirm if the sound call quality/volume is also present in 1.XX versions?

Regarding the WM6.5 and Android similarity, I don't really see any resemblance. I'm a big sucker for HTC Sense on HD2. I really like it, and it is master-piece of phone (UI) design. I didn't like Android/iOS at all, so I'm aiming at WP7...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] :
WhatsApp

Does anyone use WhatsApp on WP7? It's very slow and i don't get any push notifications even after i enabled them in the settings, some people told me not to press the home button but the back button so it would run in the background, didn't work either ...

Can someone please help me?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tw33k:
HD2Owner is well aware of the issues that need attention and is doing his best to get them resolved.

As for the volume, I use v1.26 and it's perfect
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] estugarda:
I know he is aware of them, but most of us users are not aware of it prior to flashing it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dazza9075:
you have a point, the list of known bugs on the first post doesn't include the two big ones, BT audio crashing and Low volume/poor quality

It does include the final big one around the battery, everything else, whilst annoying are fairly fluffy issues.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] tw33k:
Yeah...that is a good idea

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] estugarda:
I see some have not noticed that HD2Owner has updated the first post. The bugs are listed. Thanks HD2Owner! Great contribution as usual.

Hopefully cotulla will come up with solution for the audio problems...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] estugarda:
I got the WP7 (HD2O 1.26) up and running fine. Regarding the sound, it seems to be loud enough, but there is definitely something weird going on. The sounds overall seems to be worse than on WM. It is more noticeable on speakerphone. But all in all, it's not bad and I think it will be good enough for everyday use. I didn't find a battery indicator issue yet...

Seems that HD2Owner has made a great job once again.

I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to turn on the haptic feedback in UI? I really liked it on Nokia Lumias...(yes I know I'm weird)

2. Is there a way to remap the HW keys?

3. I know how to browse file structure on the phone, but is there an app which would allow browsing the phone structure from desktop Windows 7? Preferably from Windows Explorer directly.

OFF TOPIC: (generally on my first serious encounter with WP7)

Install went smooth and quickly. It seems to be snappy and stable in running. Booting is really fast. I didn't expect that. It likes my SD Card (SanDisk 8Gb Class4), and the battery seems to live long enough.

And I love the UI! This didn't happen to me in a long time. Since I saw the HTC Sense for WM for the first time, I guess. If you ask me, WP7 UI is a masterpiece of industrial and graphic design. That's for the good part. Unfortunately, there is the other side too...

OK, I don't like the fact that I can't browse the phone from Windows Explorer out of the box. I don't see the point in preventing that. Also, I don't understand why would any other way of music/video/pictures transfer be more practical than the one from Windows Explorer via Drag&Drop. It's stupid, but I can live with that since there's a workaround. However, I can't get over not being able to Sync with Outlook in a normal way. That being the USB cable. What on Earth is wrong with USB cabel sync? I'm fine with Cloud. I understand the advantages, and I think it is a cool option for someone who needs it. I don't, and never will. And this is the reason why I will never purchase the HTC Titan 2 WP7 device, as I intended, and will go back to WM.

The weirdest thing is that I can sync my Ipad with Outlook via USB cable. Why then not the WP7 device? To me, this seems simply idiotic.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ares93:
Am I the only one with a buggered battery meter? During charge it gets stuck on 68%. It charges the battery fine and after a reboot its showing 100%, but its still bugging me.

Also, there is something about the loudspeaker. It works fine in spotify but not zune, the sound is distorted. Don't really care since I only use spotify anyway, but it might be annoying to others.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kenny_dd:
The Bug with the charge level is also at me. On the WP7 app developer section,there are it a app called "battery state", it indicates the charge level in % and mV.

the batteries from HD2 and HD7 are too different, to show the correct charging level

this is the tread

What about Apollo? Will our faithful HD2 receive the new ROM?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huismeester:
This is just a dream that will never come true :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] TKETZ196:
If anything with the sound, there is probably a bug when the drivers were ported. It does seem very hard to port WP7 to HD2, prob some differences between HD7 and our juggernaut HD2 even though the specs are identical. subtle differences do make a difference on how WP behaves on our devices - i could be wrong since i really do not have much knowledge on how devs port something like WP to the HD2.

I do notice that the sound distortion is crackling from the speaker when playing music, but not when a phone call is in progress & speaker is turned on.

I would assume that once WP8 gets released, and also assuming all devices are eligible for the update (pending wireless carrier "approval") drivers should be easier to write/port over thus making it a more native device than WP7. Hopefully this will be the case, but for now in spite of some bugs i am very happy with my device. - keeping my fingers crossed for all WP users with native devices that their phones will get a full WP8 update.

I was wondering though if there ever has been a fix for the digital compass currently?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] gianmich:
i just flashes an since 30 minutes it says installin applications and i cant use it! is it normal?:confused:

never mind its ok now;p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kenny_dd:
What for a radio do you use? You need a 2.15.51.xx radio for WP7. If you come from Nand Android you must first flash a 1.66 WM 6.5 Rom. That's the way i have flashed. You also need a compatible SD Card or you get a error message
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] gianmich:
as i told yesterday it was ok! it started normaly!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kenny_dd:
what for a SD card do you use? I also had this problem.

i must say that i am impressed with this rom and with wp7! microsoft did a really good job! fast and stable operating system! the only thing missing is more apps (free):p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] manxexile:
Perhaps if you were to pay HD2Owner a large sum of money he could devote more time to what is after all is his hobby!

Or even develop it yourself! :)

Lolzzz see who is talking as if after he release the new update u wont use it and if i could develop I wouldn't be here asking for the same.

I like the rom so was just curious
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] gianmich:
how can i use an mp3 song as Ringtone??!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Sneakyghost:
Grab an mp3 U like, trim it to less than 40 seconds, then change the genre to "ringtone", sync it to the phone with Zune and after that you can select it as ringtone in the sound setup menu.

But there is also at least one thread discussing ringtones...

Please search for that in wp7 section (HD2 WP7 and also general WP7 forum)

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
chevron unlock has nothing to do with live services activation. two completely different things.

my rom has the developer unlocked reg-key cooked in (no need to apply chevron wp7).

to get live services working you just need a valid serial to enter when you login with your live-id.

this is either a sign that you are using a too slow sdcard or sign of a bad flash.

if other wp7 roms worked, this one will work too. try to flash again.

@all:

important info about future hd2o wp7 development added in first post.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] thegood.thebad:
you must be right about the sdcard, i'm not able to open it with touchxplorer. i'll give it another try, thank's for the reply!

what do you mean by 'a bad flash'?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
i meant that something can go wrong during flash even if it should be flashed correctly.

try to flash it again.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] swiss420:
Very nice job. Runs very smoothly. It was my first experience with WP7. HTC Hub and especially weather is wicked looking, everything else got me extremely frustrated very fast. lol Not your fault. I guess I will give it extended try some other day. Thank you very much for the work.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pronor:
Hi,

firs I want to make you a compliment for your rom - works very fine, and I liked it that all the settings were set automatically, means I directly had a data connection.

Well, WINDOS Phone7 I am not so sure about yet. I liked it with the custom WM6.5 Roms that I could reach all my important apps and settings with a single click. Now one has to click back and back and forward, if you know what I mean.

greetz pronor
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Johev:
Well WP7 lets you choose what applications are on your home screen, and you can add there all those programs. Probably it will not be as organized as it is with the now mature WM 6.5, but time will make it even better.

By the way, if I remember correctly, all you had to do is long press the short cut or application you wanted to add on your home screen and a menu would pop up and let you do it. After that you can rearrange them to your linking.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pronor:
Thanks for your info - I hadn´t found out about that, yet.:rolleyes: After using it for two days now, I must admit I´m going to like it more and more ;) , and yes you are right time will make it better and better that´s why I´ll keep it with Android as alternative on SD.

Thank so very, very much for the update. All went smooth, had to format the card, because the install failed X2 (had to be my Android partition, I guess). Then had a few random reboots with no data saved. For example, attempted to import contacts off my SIM - reboot. Entered wi-fi password - reboot, no password saved. Will continue testing and report if happens again.

Hi

Been using WP7 every since DFT came out with their first ROM. Moved onto the Back To The Future ROM when that was released and have to say that my HD2 has been exceptionally stable on it. No random re-boots etc...

Could someone please let me know whether there are volume issues on this ROM as I'd like to move to this since YukiXDA and XboxMod stopped development. I can't say that I've experienced any volume issues with it.

Many thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] enigma1nz:
Sorry, guys, after almost a day running I am going back to Mango/Tango build. Just too many issues for me for some reason, and that not including battery just disappearing within literally hours. I had no problems downloading apps or installing .xaps, but I encountered my first spontaneous reboots with WP7 ever - right in the middle of things and out of the blue, too many apps either failing to open or stopping in the middle. The whole UI appears jerky when scrolling somehow, not smooth as expected. Advanced Config - tested 2 versions -none opened.

Root management and tools opened and installed on a second go.

No other issues with anything else, didn't test camera or Bluetooth, sound is reasonable, probably slightly better than previous release, but not in the league of BTTF.

My apologies for sounding so critical, but it's not working for me. Many thanks to developer, I hope it goes better for everyone else. :-)

UPDATE: Liked the ROM a bit too much overall to just let it go, so re-flashed from the start. Works perfectly well now!!! Yay!!!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Serpentinefire76:

So after all these nice dice comments is there any major improvement going on that'd make updating worth while?

currently on android again and a bit shy of doing all the switching around stuff again...

The 8779 update itself seems to be pretty minor and focused around MMS functionality on the Mozart device. The Source of the Update specs had just been one, some microsoft employee's blog: http://blogs.technet.com/b/aviraj/a...10-8112-7-to-7-10-8773-98-to-7-10-8779-8.aspx

but he seems to have deleted it now, so there is no further info on that update. Every other page seems to reference this blog entry which is not there anymore.

Not sure about the US phone but for the EU variant the ROM would not work without enabling the last 24megabyte of NAND as its just too big.

So if it did work for you it was either enabled already through some miracle, or u got a US phone which is big enough or it actually does work without those extra 24...
