[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] martialarm:
I just recently bought a brand new HD2 for $400 off ebay.

I did it because I had read what a versatile phone it is.

I got stuck with 6.5 because I could not flash it. But....

Now it is a beast..

Latest Radio, Latest Widows 7 Rom, all the best free apps

This XDA site gave it all to me free and I am thankful

But what to do next?

My phone is full of apps and games.

I even did a quick online chat to live my phone.

( I said "hi I want to activate my HD7", they said 'but you seem to be in Australia', I said yes my dad bought it in the US and brought it here and I need help'. They said ok "wait a sec we will generate a code" ) -- EASY

But who really needs it? There is so much offered here to just install free.

So my thread ( yes this one ) and its purpose is to install some enthusiasm and see what is next to come.

------------------

What Android and apple apps do we really need to improve productivity, information and fun?

****e, my HD2 right now feel like a $2000 worth of phone, especially when I see ebay selling Iphones for $1000.

-----------------

Windows 7 is a huge jump from 6.5, and well worth doing.

I have not owned a cell phone for over 5 years so all this is new, but if I could 29 it, flash it with Hspl and Magyar and a radio and a new Win7 ROM - then anyone can.

So I would say as my personal answers to all the posts I read.

Yes, It is worth it to go Win7, way faster, way more exciting, better apps.

Super faster!

The best ROM is XBmod-WP7-V1.04b but first apply the latest Radio or you may end up with the HTC white screen as I did for a few days.

HTC flashlight is the best light app and the battery is improved on Win7 but I still wish it was better.

Can people add what are the best Win7 apps to load and as no warez allow here tell me where it is allowed so I can check it out :)

Cheers

Pedro

Can some one tell me if this is true or false?

I hear that a battery has a memory,

So you want to drip charge it over a USB laptop but then mix it up with a full off the wall charge. Drain it and full it and half it and full it. Basically play with the battery and then try to push its charge to the full.

Can this ' blasting the battery with different charge time push a battery to have a larger maximum limit? Or is all this just 'cr*p?'

Or if your bright please add a comment to this thread - how to get the most out of a HD2 battery - an expert, please stand up..

You paid $400!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's insanely high... they go for 150-200 on CLn and often brand new in los Angeles. Even signing up for T Mobile gives you a free HD2 (with a years warranty to boot) and even with the 10 dollar a month data plan, it works out as a $240 phone... with data and you'd have $160 to spend on candy, jes sayin'.

He's/She's from australia, hence the price. In the UK, the average price of used (but immaculate) hd2 on ebay is about £220, while the new ones on high street market are sold at around £350. Convert that to the australian dollars, and you're looking at ~$400 for the ebay ones, and ~$700 for the new high street market.

And no, we dont have craiglist. jes sayin'. :(

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] zarathustrax:
This thread really doesn't belong here... this section is for posting apps. This should be moved to general.

I'm glad you like the HD2... I agree, it's the most versatile phone out at the moment. I got the HD2 the first day it was released in the US... had been watching and reading about it for months before that when it was released in europe. I bought it for winmo6.5 originally... best winmo65 phone released. Now I don't even have winmo65 on it anymore. I have mine with wp7 and android on sd. Hopefully soon I'll be able to boot winmo65 again from sd, cause there's a few apps I miss from that, and I just enjoyed using winmo sometimes... it was a great and versatile OS for people that knew how to use it. But the appeal of android and wp7 drew me away from winmo, plus the fact that no new apps were being made for winmo.

Its gonna be hard to pick a new phone once the next generation of phones comes out... I like both wp7 and android, and having both on my phone has spoiled me. But the specs on the HD2 are going to seem older and older as the year progresses... right now it's still close to as good as it gets, but in 6 months that will be a different story... but the fact I can boot 2 or 3 OSs on my HD2 will probably make me keep it longer than I normally would keep a phone when next generation of devices comes out... we're gonna start seeing all the dual-core processor devices soon, but unfortunately they will only boot 1 OS and I will have to pick 1.

Who knows if we'll ever see a device as moddable as the HD2 again... the HD2 found itself in a unique situation that allowed all this development to be done to it... it started with winmo, which was already easily modded with years of development behind it porting linux to winmo devices... and the HD2 was the last winmo device and only with it's specs, so there was no competition, and a lot of developers got the phone. Now with every new device, there are so many options of similar devices, there won't be so many good developers with the same device. With the HD2 we had a great team of many developers that got android working, which led to getting it going on nand, which led to cotulla developing magldr and getting wp7 working on nand also (which also worked out because the HD2 was spec'ed exactly like the HD7). The chances of a device getting this much development done to it during it's lifespan is very small... I'm hoping they get android running on wp7 devices in the future, so I can have a dual-booting phone again... that's the best chance of having another phone like the HD2.

Well, there's my little morning rant.

I followed all of these instructions. Link: Here

But when I try to navigate to AndroidSDK folder in my home directory I can't get adb shell to start.

cd ~/AndroidSDK/tools

adb shell

After that the terminal says command not found and stuff.....anyone know how to set up adb shell on linux? (I'm running linux mint 10 specifically but I am a experienced linux user, i've used ubuntu and linux mint 10, so if you give me ubuntu commands for fixing this i can convert them into linux mint commands if need be).

Thanks for helping me get this set up on linux. I've mainly been a windows user and as easy as it would be for me to dual boot into windows instead i'm trying to make linux my main operating system slowly b/c i'm liking this operating system more than windows 7. so before i do that I want to make sure i know how to complete all the task i would want to do on windows 7 on linux instead, starting with adb shell :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Those instructions are for an earlier version of android SDK. I am sure you downloaded and installed the latest from google's official website. If so, the adb command has moved to a different folder - platform-tools.

Do a search in the android sdk folder for "adb.exe", you should be able to find it and then use that folder as your base adb folder. Alternatively, you can setup the folder to be part of the path, that way you can execute adb from anywhere. If you need help, let me know.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspenTree:
Can you give me full instructions on how to set up adb using the latest android sdk from google? Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silberj:
What I found when setting up mine on linux was to start adb, navigate to the tools directory where you have it setup, and use the command "./adb shell" minus the quotes. This seems to work fine, I don't know why. I beat my head against the wall, and don't remember how I found out about this. It's safe to say, the ./adb should need to be used with all the adb commands.

Kifno check the dev section for my thread on how to install adb on Ubuntu should help you out. It might be buried but I posted a full guide.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
Step-by-step guide to setting up android sdk on linux:

1. On your linux box, go to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and download the package for linux

2. Create a "androidsdk" folder in your home folder

3. Unzip the contents of the "android-sdk-linux_x86" from inside the tgz file - into the above folder. You should have "add-ons", "platforms", "tools" and "SDK-readme.txt" in the above folder

4. Open a terminal window and navigate to androidsdk -> tools directory

5. Execute command "android" without quotes - this should open a UI

6. Go to available packages and install all packages you need

7. Once it has installed everything, exit the application

8. Navigate to your androidsdk/platform-tools directory - you should have adb there.

Now you can run adb from here or setup your computer to run from anywhere - following steps are to setup so that you can run adb from anywhere...

1. Append the following code in your .profile file - replacing "full path to your platform-tools directory" with the actual path with quotes:

if [ -d "full path to your platform-tools directory" ] ; then

PATH="full path to your platform-tools directory:$PATH"

fi

2. Save your .profile

3. Logout and log back in.

Now you should be able to execute adb from anywhere on the linux box, when you login using your credentials.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AspenTree:
the bold is where i'm having trouble....where is the .profile file located?

also would this be the correct full path leading to platform tools? (so i can know when i get ready to do the .profile file thingy once you explain that)

~/AndroidSDK/platform-tools

btw thanks for the help (clicking thanks button.....lol)

edit: i also just got this problem

kevin-Satellite-L305 platform-tools # ./adb shell
error: insufficient permissions for device

it won't let me launch adb shell even after i typed su and put in my password :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andythegreenguy:
.profile is in your home directory. You can get to your home directory from anywhere in linux by typing "cd $HOME" at the shell prompt without quotes and as is here. If you know of DOS, you can relate to a .profile file as an autoexec.bat, that executes everytime a user logs in.

You need the absolute path to the platform-tools folder - which you can get by being in that folder and typing "pwd" without quotes.

The last error, it has something to do with your computer OS not recognizing your device.

1. Go to /etc/udev/rules.d

2. Look for a file 99-android.rules - if one does not exist, create one

3. Append the following line to the file: SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0bb4", OWNER="linux user name" GROUP="linux user group", replacing linux user name and linux user group with the actual values.

4. Save the file and restart your computer

This should do it.

I used the Samsung method following these instructions and had NO issues at all. I didn't care whether I had to reinstall my apps from the market, it was quick and painless. Phone seems to work great! GPS locked almost instantly, Flash already installed with the update.

If you use this method make sure you remove the battery TWICE, per the instructions.

Bottom of the first post:

IMPORTANT:

- You should always wipe userdata if you switch between Android versions (1.6 <-> 2.1). If not your phone will keep restarting all the time. This is the same for some providerbrandings even if you flash between same Android versions. So if you have this restarting problem, flash again with Wipe Userdata. If you don't want to loose your apps you have to backup them with Titanium or some other backup tool!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -PiLoT-:
Yeah that what i did. i never wiped userdata when i first used flash tool 1.6 branded orange uk -> 2.1 Global Generic

for some reason though the restarts have got worse as of late.

one thing though its been a while since i used flash-tool is the option to wipe user-data there? i know its in xrecovery

and if b wipe user data you mean like a master reset didn't everyone do this when they went to 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopdogg:
Yeah, it's in the latest flash tool. When I first flashed from 1.6 to 2.1 Nordic, my phone would randomly freeze and then reboot. It was really annoying. However, when I upgraded to the newest 2.1 firmware(s) using the new flash tools it doesn't happen to me anymore. I guess it could be considered a master wipe, but I never factory reset my phone before doing it. Flash to the newest firmware and see if it fixes the problem.
