Installation went smoothly save for the error i got after first attempt coz stupid me had forgotten to enable the last 24..... I am coming from NoDo that never had the last 24 thing so I guess I can be excused. :p

Coming from NoDo I see huge improvement in the new rom. I didnt have a choice anyway coz Microsoft in their own wisdom insist that you cant update apps or get certain other services unless you are in Mango+. So I skipped Mango and here I am with Tango. And I am loving it...... :p

The incall volume could do with a little enhancement. Though the sound is clear its a bit low and one might struggle to keep up with the conversation if you are in a noisy place..... :o

And oh I am using this in Dual boot with Android ICS on a 32 GB TwinMos sd split into 15 GB each for Android and Tango. How I wish Cope and Warren could do an ICS sd rom for their phenomenal ACA roms..... Now my Leo is back in use in peaceful co-existence with equally great SG Note. :cool:

Congrats HD20. A small donation will shortly be coming your way to cool your palms a bit. ;)

Is there a tweak ?

How is the battery life?

Ok read all the comment and pretty excited to try this rom once again have been on android since nodo but still remains d main question how is d battery life?

Also please let me know which radio is tthere is it Radio_5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U or any other?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pack21:
This rom runs very smooth.....and battery seems much better than previous build.

Nice work HD2owner.

Thx.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] clio94:
This rom is very smooth and fast.I think the smoothest ever wp7 rom.Battery doesnt need the camera trick.But i went back to android,because now that we have summer and 30+ degrees phone goes extremelly hot and faster than android.Some times i cant even charge the phone if im surfing with 3g. :(

This is the only issue that makes me not to stay with wp7. I hope that our devs will find a solution

BT Crash

Can anyone tell me if bluetooth still crashes the phone with this build? I want to switch over to this ROM from Yuki's but can't because I need BT....
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] wavesshock:
Thanks for the update! With the new xap deployment app updaing ROM only takes a few minutes! Great job!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] enigma1nz:
Having a bit of a problem with Bazaar. All .xap files off bazaar cannot be installed and tell me my phone is not unlocked, so to use bazaar for pc. However, when I want to download bazaar for pc, the file cannot be downloaded because the file off the link provided on their site is corrupted somehow. Anyone has older version or solution? TIA.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huismeester:
If you use this rom your phone is full unlocked what program you use for xap files?

Use Tom XAP installer 1.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860964
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nixeus:
Hello,

I have finally bought a "PNY micro sdhc 8gb class4", and all is fully functionnal !

It's my first try of WP7 !

Is there a file explorer in this rom ? No only for XAP but for all the file (.cert,etc....)

Thanks a lot HD2Owner :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] enigma1nz:
It's not that I don't know how to get .xaps on my phone, rather how to get ones featured on bazaar onto it directly. As far as this rom being unlocked, I thought so too, but the bazaar itself tells me the rom is locked, therefore no .xaps off it can be installed. I am quite happy to use the xap manager that came with this rom, however, there are things on bazaar that I wanted and can't have. Tried the alternative - no luck either. Perhaps bazaar is having problems...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nixeus:
Sorry for my noob question, but how unlock the live services ?

I have the error message which tell me that my Live services are locked.

How doing this ?

Thanks a lot
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] staythesame3010:
Confirm that

The same for me. And Bluetooth cannot run
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] clio94:
Did you go to a programm that is pre-installed in rom called "root manager" and give to apps root access? After doing this,bazaar should work ok
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] pack21:
Best WP7.5 i ever use.....even battery is nice.

Now we need WP8 inside HD2 Brain....eheheh
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] borcak:
This was solved many times before... The unlock is for homebrew apps... For liveservices you need an activation key... How to optain one is mentioned several times on this formum. Just use the search button.

Lock screen is gorgeous

Where is this place?

Set bazar to trusted in root manager! Reply to enigma1nz
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hyellow:
I am also wondering if the bluetooth issue has been fixed. So far, only ansar rom is capable of doing that.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] PlayStation:
What is the bluetooth problem mentioned here. I am using this with a bluetooth headset and it is working perfectly. Not a single disconnection in the last 24 hours. This is with a Samsung BT Stick. I havent tried bluetooth for music playback though.

By the way the sound with a BT headset is loud and clear as opposed to the phone speaker where the volume is a bit low...... :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] 00Nuclear00:
Can you please try music playback for us?

The BT issues are the only reason why I am currently using andoid.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] PlayStation:
No problem I will test the music playback with BT headphones that support A2DP later in the evening and report back. The Samsung Bt Stick that I have here only supports Bt calls but not music playback......
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hyellow:
The issue is when you are listnening to music, through BT and you get an incoming call, then the phone will freeze, after or during the call.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] NIKOSXRI:
How is the outcall bluetooth volume when the person you talk to, is in a noisy place?

In another rom people that are in noisy places cant listen to me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] PlayStation:
I will have to sync some songs through Zune to test the music/Bt issues.

But.... Is this for real? I tried watching a YouTube video to test with the Bt headphones and I was shocked to find that while watching video the sound is not channeled through the Bt speakers but on the phone speaker! I remember that was one of the most annoying issues reported to Microsoft when WP7 was first introduced. Do you want to tell me that from initial release through Mango and to todays Tango MS have never sorted out this issue? Shocking. :mad:

Shocker # 2 is that there is still no Sim Tool Kit (STK) with the new rom. Or am I missing something. So no USSD functionality? Really. I use the STK to do many transactions including activating my monthly data subscription and certain money transfer menu available in my country etc. No stk means no such functions. Now I have to go the long route of booting into Android enable data and do other transactions and back to Tango.

Thank God for dual boot otherwise WP7 in Nand would be unuseable for my purposes. And to imagine I had considered buying one of the Nokia Lumias!!!! Would have been a disaster. So I guess the HD2 will be always around with me to test some of these things before I go buy a phone and get disappointment of a lifetime. :eek:

For now I will happily use the HD2 in dual mode but primarily on the WP7 side as I do love the minimalistic WP7 UI. Plus I do have a native Android device which is my main phone so I may as well have the best of both worlds...... :cool:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Roadrunner7:
I agree with the previous post by PlayStation: We need Sim ToolKit. I read that it is by default included in newer Windows Phone devices. Shouldn't it be possible to get it also in this rom then?

This rom is really great, if we could also get the STK, it would be feature complete for my use.

In Norway, for example, we need the STK to be able to use the mobile phone to log on to banks (BankID on mobile phone). Without it, I need to use a physical code generator, which I usually don't carry away from home. This means that without STK, I'm unable to use my online bank service when I'm not at home.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] enigma1nz:
Yep, did the trick. Your first thankyou coming your way.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
i will take care of the "sim toolkit missing" issue in next version if it's possible.

and hopefully cotulla is capable of fixing most of the audio/bt issues.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] PlayStation:
Thank you Hd2O. I actually thought that STK is a Microsoft issue. If you can get it we will very much appreciate coz its a very important tool for some of us.

Audio can do with some improvement especially the incall volume. BT and other music audio is not a very big deal for me at the moment as I simply boot into Android to listen to the music. This saves me the hussle of having to go to Zune whenever I want to add to my music library as opposed to simply adding the files in the relevant folder the android way.

We very much appreciate this phenomenal rom :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lihkin:
As i expected the best rom for wp7 highly stable working perfectly without any problem but still remains the battery issue. Battery is not draining it literally piss :p

in next rom version i will cook in the root rights for dft btft and for wp7 root tools.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lihkin:
As I have performed the following step

(When phone boot in MAGLDR use:

* 10. Services, 4. UseLast24NAND

* 10. Services, 5. ClearSD MDR

* go to 5. USB Flasher and run DWI.exe to flash ROM)

If I want to go back to wm6.5 i hope its d same way as it was previously task29 and stuff or do I hav to do anything more.

No Sir wp8 is not compatible with processor HD2 only multi core processor

wp8 has different kernal for different hardware.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lihkin:
Have to go back to either of them as this ROM pisses my battery in like 16hrs without even touching it :silly:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ctito:
Mine lasts ~30h without touching it with data connection on. If I touch it, it's like 1% per minute.

Smartphone feelings... This is why I carry one extra battery in my wallet (yes, this is weird) and a portable charger in my portfolio, and also the car charger in my car. =P

It is possible to live with this drain, hahaha.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hauler:
The rom is realy great, everything works perfect as it should, but battery drain is realy annoying, for 3 hours of listening to music in headphones, my battery went from 99 to 37 percent(i followed all steps to reduce drain), please fix fit or tell what else can help
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huismeester:
That is the problem the HD2 is no real windows phone

Some drivers are not fully compatible Sir

And indeed it is a very good ROM
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hauler:
I remember that when i used wp7.0 4 months ago, the drain was much lower then now(that was completely another rom, not this)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] xOverkill:
so HW radio 5.51 + SW radio 2.12 + Camera trick doesn't fix battery drain issue on this rom?

on previous pdaimatejam rom it worked, from -3 to-7mA, 1% per hour in standby
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hamoun:
HD2O - Mango is OK on HD2 - up to 9mAh

any HD2O - Tango - 40mAh with the same settings ...

I use Mango and it is perfect !!! Thank you for perfect ROM :good:

Tango is not suitable for real usage now ... :(
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] m_mansour2:
ooh

that is mean that all device we see now can't run wp8
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huismeester:
I'm afraid so Sir
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lihkin:
Lolzzz mine give 16hrs of standby without anything ON not even data. I just imagine what will happen if I leave data connection on :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] borcak:
H20 thx for the effort here... But is there a possibility to make this rom updatable again? Because i hate on every flash install all the apps again.. And playing all games from scratch... Typying all passwords and configuring apps. I would be happy to see updatable rom through cabs... Same as was the xbmods.

---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 PM ----------

To add. For me the power drain is OK... It will survive one day.. I'm using a 3years old battery. But only if there is a 3G network... On EDGE i have insane powerdrain... Phone will survive only like 4 hours on standby.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
rom is actually updatable but i prefer cooking new rom over making cab updates.

i would say wait with flashing for cotulla's next generation hd2 wp7 rom "ultrafruit2".

setting up everything takes me like 30-60min only (depends on how well you are prepared).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] lerameur:
The sound is really good!

Thanks for this rom!:good:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huyngh:
I think the sound too small, the ring sometime can't hear. How can I fix it

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] IzaacJ:
I agree about the volume. I think it's to silent in calls and the media volume. I often walks around with friends playing music through the speakers, but it's lower than in my ROM, and the tweaks I did in it doesn't work in this one :(

Any ideas?

Oh, and does anyone know if the headset mic is working in calls? Never got it to work in any ROM :(

Regards

Izaac
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] kid1988:
HD2 Future development?

Does your rom support YUXI and other developers signature CAB's?

Headset MIC is working for me. But with headphones plugged in the mic on the device is turned off, I don't know if this is a registry setting or a hardware limitation (I faintly recall it working with android but I could be mixing up devices here).

Also the volume has been a dragging issue for a while. YUXI had some cabs prepaired for his rom that smoothed the issue out a little, but experience seems to differ per device and this making debugging hard/impossible.

Some registry settings seem to boost the volume but sacrafice audio quality in the progress. Solutions on this issue have always been a compromise with WP7

About future updates: (of course, since I'm not a dev don't rely on me for this)

I read somewhere that 7.8 will be pushed over zune, carrier independant. Considering this rom will update via cab (c.q. zune) this would mean that the HD2 will go all the way with first and second generation windows phone.

This alone is quite a feat, and I would like to thank everyone developing for the HD2 for this, and especially you, HD2O, for sticking with us this long.

For some reason I think WP development will cease for HD2 after a fully unlocked 7.8. Apart for some bug fixes and customalisation maybe.

I think Cotulla, HD2O and some other devs/fans can concur that WP8 might be over the top considering there are

no drivers available

.

Of course we don't know what MAGLDR 2.0 will bring in terms of WP8, but besides more partitioning and multibooting there is not much info Cotulla can use to prep it for an (optional) upgrade to WP8

So to some of the users that still have questions about Windows Phone 8 on our HD2:

There are no drivers for the windows 8 kernel available. Also Secure Boot for the WinRT kernel might pose issues

We only made it this far because WP7 is based on the WinCE kernel (as Windows Mobile was), the similairity with the HTC HD7 and beta drivers were maybe developed for platform development/testing purposes back in 2009/2010

After sticking with the HD2 for about 3 years and actively updating, I think a Windows 8 device will be my next upgrade.

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish!

Battery issues

I'm thinking of trying this rom but before I do, I just have some questions regarding battery life. I've searched regarding this issue in this thread regarding it and its seems some have mixed answers (some ok some not) so I'm really confused if battery life here is standard so the question is:

after doing all the mods for better battery life which are the ff:

1) camera trick

2) registry edit

3) radio flash to 2.12

is battery drain ok?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hjhjhj:
all wp7 roms have some issues with battery drain, esp on the hd2. it also depends on your own setup as well. the radio depends on your location and signal strength, etc.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hamoun:
it's maybe my problem with tango ...

I have no 3G signal at home .. only EDGE ..

(I use Edge settings on data connection not to connect to 3G) ...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] drmodify:
I don't know if you got my point, yes that's a general statement for HD2s on WP7 but to make it more specific I'm asking if anyone did those mods (reg fix, camera trick, radio flash) and if how it improved their battery life or not
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ctito:
Didn't do any mods, but my drain is as expected for a normal smartphone.

3h30~4h of intense 100% time gaming plus IE9, surfing on facebook chat, whatsapp vibrating every time it receives a message, MSN Messenger also receiving messages, 3G on, Wi-Fi on, using camera, etc etc etc.

13h~14h In a normal day, with data conn ON, wi-fi OFF and Whatsapp, Facebook and Messenger logged in, receiving messages sometimes and using phone only to surf in internet occasionally and respond to instant messages.

36~40h in the maximum economy state, only using the phone as a phone (send/receive calls and SMS, only)

I think these are good values, how's yours?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ayopancheezy:
Hey guys. i have a problem. my HD20 will only charge up until 83% full battery. why is that? my phone and usb cable pins are fine. i used to have android and it would always charge to 100%. my light is orange and when it goes green, my battery indicator at the home screen is never truly full. why is that?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] drmodify:
Wow, yours is amazing!!! I flashed this rom about 2-3 months ago and battery drain was not good. 20-30% in one to two hours so just reflashed back to android. I actually haven't reflashed yet as I was still contemplating on the battery life but thanks to you I now have the inspiration to reflash this thing. Thanks man really appreciate it

Hello my friends,

This rom is fabulous !! Very great !! I love the Windows Phone UI :)

I just have a noob question.

With Windows Phone, we don't have a storage, so, how don't erase the documents, photo, music,etc... when flashing a new rom ?

Do i need to synchronise my files with Zune for each flash ???

Thanks :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
just connect device, start zune and let it finish sync automatically.

after reflash you can shift the stuff over to device again via zune manually.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Nixeus:
Ok, thanks, so we need to use Zune in order to synch !

For the parameters we need to setup manually, i think that zune doesn't save it ?

Waiting for the 7.8 rom :)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Mizraim52700:
Doubt about power!!!

First of all, THANKS for this great rom for our HD2, I really like your work. But I have some questions, its the first time I install a rom diferent from the official that comes from HTC, and my battery life is around 10 hours with normal use, sometimes it gets 75% in an hour without use, is this normal in this tango version? or we are going to have a fix in the next rom... It has not to be with the wrong battery state display

And the keyboard sometimes writes letters that i have not touched, its like a jump in the screen, i know thats odd, but in fact it is annoying, cause i can't write without mistakes like before... is this a known bug? :silly:

THANKS!!! :good:

Hello, I have had problems with battery life, I hardly use my cell phone and the battery runs out before 8pm, around 10h. I need to know if this is normal, or if you have more battery life with this ROM.:confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] huismeester:
Did you use camera trick?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Mizraim52700:
Whats camera trick???

Camera trick: Recording for 10 seconds after charge

Thats ok? or im doing something wrong???:confused:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Ruzzichella:
FAIL trick :p

You should start the camera, switch to video mode, wait for autofocus... then press the windows button for return to the home screen. that's all.
