[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
I concur, I did this about 2-3 weeks ago and the d/l was temperamental at best, slow to start, fluctuating in speed and mostly slow but it did complete in the end. I was sceptical to install fearing a corrupt package but back then I needed a phone asap and did it anyway and it went fine. I mean the installation goes fast and smooth by following the simple instructions and for the most part this is a very well built, functional ROM with a few minor issues that should n't deter the average user to try it. For a heavy business user that's another story mostly because the low battery life issue, but again that is dependent on many individual factors.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I know I have a good copy which I have n't of course altered a bit. If you can provide an FTP server I can upload it for you, if that's OK of course with HD2O and the moderators here.

I do not know much about phones etc (lol) but if I can help with this I'll gladly do!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
If it downloads fully, it is a error-free ROM. See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42116879&postcount=3443

:)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
+1 that is if it downloads fully. It took 4 attempts with me but eventually I did get it!

RobbieP, when you say "error-free ROM" are you referring to the installation package installing properly as it is supposed to, or to the actual firmware in regards to actual phone usage? If it is the former, I agree 100%, if the RAR file downloaded fully with a good downloading application that's able to pause/resume, etc. flawlessly, YES, it will also install glitch-free in 10 minutes or so. As far as the actual phone functionality, as I have mentioned before, it is OK for a developer to test or low to average usage or just to try. But for serious above average to heavy usage it has 3 major issues which if possible, perhaps due to hardware limitations, still need to be addressed:

IMHO, (unless they have been addressed somewhere and I missed it) in order of importance, these issues are:

#1. Nail-down which exactly SDcard is best to use

#2. Improve (e.g. increase) incoming caller's voice volume. (Problem is solved with use of earpiece, or even by using speakerphone). There is also some "harshness" with generally all the system sounds, tones, etc. but that is not really an issue.

#3. Improve, even slightly, battery life and overall OS power handling calibration. (I put this 3rd because everyone's battery is different i.e. brand-new, somewhat used, almost spent, so results will vary. However, what's also a concern with mine, is the fact that sometimes a "battery fully charged" indication is being reported by the OS as low as 83% or as high 99% no matter how long I let it charge past the green LED indication. Then I disconnect, reboot and reconnect and it will charge the battery to 100%, with highest voltage edging just below 4,200mV which in my opinion is pretty good for a 4+ year old used LiPo (3.7V ) battery, right?

I have also noticed that sometimes the RED button is not functioning which results to not being able to unlock the phone but from what I've read this is a known hardware issue and has nothing to do with (any) ROM. However, I have not been able to find a good solution to this problem, perhaps you know something about it.

MicroSDHC benchmark test

I am posting this interesting article about Micro SDHC which confirms what the OP has already recommended only this has some benchmark data to back it also:

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/microsdhc-memory-card-performance,3011-7.html
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
this benchmark is irrelevant for HD2... all depends how HD2 recognize SDcard. sometimes same card not work same or have same speed on different ROM's from same author...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
Irrelevant ?!?

Perhaps "irrelevant" is too of a drastic statement. Did you mean "indicative"

but not

"authoritative", maybe?

The OP has clearly (stated in post #1) that he had best results with a Sandisk Class4. The benchmark (also clearly) shows that higher class numbers do not necessarily mean better performance in all areas. Actually this card in particular (Sandisk Mobile Ultra 16G Class 4) is shown, in most tests, to out-perform (especially in random writes) all other cards, irrelevant of their manufacturer and class.

Even though English is not my native language, the way I understand this is as relevant. Certainly NOT definitive but clearly relevant.

(On a parallel thought, I am struggling to understand why a ROM is posted and then there is reaction when people are trying to contribute information about improving certain areas of that ROM's functionality that need improvement.) :confused:

What SD card is best to use, has been an issue from the beginning with not much concrete feedback, EXCEPT what HD2Owner has said in the beginning. Now I found an article that supports exactly that, in a convincing way. How can that be irrelevant?

And BTW, what is your experience/suggestion on this matter: Which MicroSD card should one use for BEST results? :confused:

Thank you!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Eriu:
Correct with hd2 and SD cards its 'pot luck' I know from experience! Obviously one should use only sandisk class 4 to 10 I'd recommend class 4, 8 or 16 gb I've even found 2 identical cards behave differently
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
exactly... is mater of luck... we can suggest type of card but no guaranties this card work OK in your device XwpisONOMA.. for me after tried few cards best worked Sandisk 32 Gb class 4
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] hyellow:
Since installing this ROM, it has messed the bluetooth. Music playback is messed up. I can't be fixed, I have reinstalled other roms and even went back to wm6.5 but nothing helps. When reflashing to Ansar's ROM it still is not fixed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] XwpisONOMA:
Thanks all for contributing, for what it's worth, I have scoured the internet with reviews/comments on this exact issue, i.e. which SDcard is best to use. Somehow, and I do not think it's a coincidence, those who had a good experience, used either an 8 or a 16GB, Class-4 Sandisk card.

The benchmark I found takes this a notch further up by identifying as the best sdcard to use the Sandisk 16GB Mobile Ultra Class-4.

I actually found this card is still available and costs a very reasonable ~$7 (approx.) on amazon. I think I am going to buy one, try it and definitely report back my findings.

Will keep you posted, thanks again!

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] Robbie P:
That is odd, the title of the link you gave says ..Eastern.rar but the mega download page says ..Western.rar:confused:;) not sure what happened there.

Anyway ChriGothiMark, the links wont work from the OP, because they are not links, they are text. Just copy and paste the address part (https....) of the line to your browser and you should get to the correct download site. The links are still live so it should be ok. Hope this doesn't sound patronising, i made the same mistake before realising:o

It is a bit tricky posting mirrors and links if the OP says not to do it. hitman1376 just used a link to an original download page which is fine as far as i am aware:good:.

good luck
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] ChriGothiMark:

I'm using the Dutch language and it works fine, but the marketplace is in French?!

I do not understand French and I would like to know what's wrong with the marketplace and how can I fix it.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] dxdy:
maybe your Live (microsoft) account is French?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] BloxmineXL:
It's not French because if I use it on another WP7 rom, the language is Dutch.

I don't think the problem is too bad now, because when I download certain apps the language of the app itself becomes Dutch.

Zune player freezes phone when running under lockscreen

Hi All,

I ran into following bug:

When I am leaving the house I plug my headphones into the phone, switch on music (Zune Player) and start listening while walking / commuting..

After the screen locks (and Zune Player is still playing) it takes approximately 5 Minutes and the Music stops and my HD2 completely freezes, no button is working, screen stays black. The only solution then is to pull the battery and to restart the phone..

First I thought it is a one-time glitch but it seems I am able to replicate this bug by following above metioned steps.

Is this a WP7 specific Bug? It is my first WP7 ROM and all good so far.. besides this one little thing on not being able to hear music properly..

Thanks for any advice :)

Question

I am wondering if there is any way to make it so that the green call button actually does that and the home button also takes you home, because it gets really annoying when camera and search come up instead of those. And the homepage should be set back to google as in 1.03 and is there any way to implement copy and paste?

Thanks Awesome ROM by the way

I have a problem with ver 1.04, i have downloaded and installed it in my hd2, but the problem is WiFi is not working, i mean when I turn it on it can not find any network althow it works in any kind of other official or coocked rom in windows mobile 6.5.

Kindly please help me.

Excellent smooth running rom! :)

Regarding asking for update... I think spoof was for feb update but now it asking for march update which is nodo.

Secondly, I had accidently re-installed the Attentive Phone and Sound Enhancer as a part of my restore apps. via multi xap install. as a result polite ring on pickup is not working and none of the sound enhance equalizer settings are working and also the vol. nos. before were showing 10 levels only now its showing full 0 to 30 levels... :D

Any solution other than re-install!

I cant hear any sound from my phone it only vibrates....the volume is all the way up and its just silent...any solutions
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
sometimes opening/closing camera helps but mostly a restart is needed when it happens.

problem also existed on native wp7 devices with build 7004 (caused by bad oemdrivers).

drivers where fixed in nodo rom on mozart (1.30, 7389, new oemdrivers).

audio related problems are triggered by more than 1 alarm to close to each other or headphone usage.

should be fixed by dft in next rom (if they switch to new oemdrivers; most probably yes).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
see in the dwi readme:

Hard reset:

During boot, when "1234" appears on screen, press and hold VolUp + VolDown,

until the message appears. Press VolDown twice to clear data.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
magldr is only a second stage bootloader.

get into htc bootloader (hspl 2.08 - tricolor screen) and flash your wm6.5 rom.

magldr and wp7 will be overwritten (format sdcard with sd formatter if you want to use it for wm6.5).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HerrVorragend:
yes... I know that... but I whant to flash an other WM7-ROM (from this thread)!
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
ah ok.. i see your problem now... if you keep the power button pressed on boot, magldr menu will show up. ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] zarathustrax:
I disagree with stating atleast class 4... actually most higher class cards have worse random access speeds. Microsoft found with their testing of cards that more class 2 cards worked better than class 6 and 10. I guess the tweaks that card manufacturers do to increase sequential read and write speeds usually hurt the random access speeds, and random access time is what effects wp7 the most. Sandisk class 2 seem most reliable from all the research I've done, but there's no guarantee because since random access time isn't rated, it isn't kept consistent between batches, so you can have a card that works fine, but the exact same brand and class card made the following week at the factory might not work well. But I suggest a sandisk class 2 with part number ending in A11M.

I agree that kingston sucks... my class 4 kingston performed terrible. Tested and had terrible random access speed.

Here's a good article from engadget about sd cards and wp7: http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/17/windows-phone-7s-microsd-mess-the-full-story-and-how-nokia-ca/
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] P-A-L-A-D-I-N:
Absolutely great and fast handling and quite easy to install (I expected flashing WP7 would be more complicated). I never experienced any WM version running so smooth and wonderful.

Nevertheless I found one bug and one maybe-bug:

1) When opening the pictures menu the text "Bilder" (=pictures) looks extremely crazy and everything is like flowing into each other (hard to explain, sorry!).

I can easily quit be using the back-key (so nothing more happens) but the bug always appears when opening the picture gallery.

2) I have no data connection though the phone is turned on (I entered the sim code at startup of course). So there is no internet, no bing maps and so. Too bad since I need internet very much for work tomorrow! :(

EDIT: I found out that the picture bug only appears when there is no own photo stored into the picture gallery. So after deleting the first one that I took the bug appeared the very first time and is still present - as long as I do not take a new one.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] IcePanther:
Did you check the APN settings in the network/mobile network parameters ? By default, they're not set; you need them to access your provider's data network.

You can also try and install the HTC Connection Setup app to set it automatically if you don't know it; it depends on the provider. Normally once the APN settings are set, you'll be able to access the data connection.

(Also, if the situation allows it, you can use the WiFi to access the internet in the meantime)

maan you have done some terribly wrong by not following the right procedures for wp7 flash... search forums to see if your sd card is compatible and did you correctly formatted it before flashing. So, search ... forum and re-flash with right procedure and you will have no problem.

I don not have any problem with the rom, inspite of loading tons of apps. the rom runs very smooth. This is the best rom with the professional touch. ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Development] HD2Owner:
you need a unique code from ms hotline to activate your hd2 (bound to your liveid).

you can only use this code for one sigle device because of this.

first of all, this is microsoft's os and not mine.

second, this rom is based on the dft rom.

my rom is the dft rom with some changes and mods like stated in first post.

now to your problem:

don't blame ms, dft or me for your own fault (using crappy sd card that's not capable to run wp7).

be polite, be thankful for the work ms/dft and i did instead posting such statements.

it's clearly stated in first post that you need a good performing card (sequential read speed is most important).

3. install 2.15 radio rom

4. install magldr from hspl

5. in magldr go to flash mode

6. launch dwi to install wp7 from pc via magldr

you need data connection to be on to download your received mms.

you will receive your mms without data connection but to download content of mms you need data connection.
