Of course he can, he can load any of the available OSes, that the devs have ported to this device, and still revert back to the WP7. However, his aim is not to mod, his aim is just something that works. Now clearly the hd2 isn't marketed to those kinds of people, nor is android. The only OSes made for the types of people who want something that just works, is iOS and WP7. They're so simple, it's baffling that their smartphone OSes. Atleast the iOS falls in that case.

And modding on the HD2 may become overwhelming to him if his attitude is just for something that simply works. Now I'm not saying winmo doesn't work. It works great. But it won't work "great" for you since, again from my impression of you, you prolly want games, and other entertainment stuff from your phone. Now android or iOS, or even WP7 is a better choice than winmo, in such a field.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Hi all.

Today I got my HD2. Man this is a crazy good phone. :D And I like WM 6.5 too, no bugs, lags etc. I have also already Android on it, but first I must learn WM. :) I just look for a moment on Android, and it works smooth too.

I am totally happy! :)

Regards,

Sam.

Man, I can't wait to get mine. Still winning the bid on eBay! :D
[HD2 General] orangekid:
well done man, you now have 3 stable operating systems to learn, all of them with some great pros!
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Thank you orangekid!

I love it for now. :)

But I have one problem. In Settings > SD Card & Phone Storage shows like I haven't inserted SD Card. Please for any help.

Thanks!
[HD2 General] orangekid:
Sounds like you're talking about Android.

make sure your SD card is mounted (in the same menu), also make sure your SD card is formatted FAT32 for now, if you have a card reader use that to reformat the card.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Thank you! I will try to fix this problem. :)
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Can you tell me how to do this on HD2? Because I don't find nothing.
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
I've never done this before. To format the SD Card to FAT32 is easy.

1) Buy a SD Card Reader

2) Hook it up to your computer

3) Plug card in

4) Go to my computer

5) right click and select format

6) choose fat32 as the file system

7) done

Of course, they have multi-card readers. Would be better in case you ever get anything else down the line..hmm I may buy one that fits in the cd rom drive bay. I have an empty slot, would be cool and factory looking.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Hi.

Thanks for your effort, but I must say, that I post my problem too fast. It was my fault. I was charging it and I didn't choose right choice (Activatesync, Internet Sharing and one more thing). :o

Now it works fine.

Thanks anyway! :)
[HD2 General] orangekid:
lol no worries, glad you got it working.

Best choice of phone, I keep looking for a phone that runs android and wp7 and maybe windows mobile, but keep coming back to the hd2, because its the only phone that can run them all.

[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Nice! I think you'll love it, like I do. :) I have Android 2.2 Froyo on it now with stock Desire ROM. It works perfectly, today I'll try some different ROMs and choose my best. :)
[HD2 General] thenotoriouspie:
Windows phone 7 had pretty bad battery life.

I traded my HTC g2 for this phone and I feel like I got the better end of that deal. I don't have to reset my phone 6+ times a day to have working internet or deal with android being horrible on that device. Its weird it actually works better on this phone then that one
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
I use Android 2.2 Froyo on my HD2. It works briliant. :) But I got problems now, when I want to change ROM, and I haven't got enough space on phone and don't know what to do. :(
[HD2 General] shhbz:
Step by step version:

Boot into MAGLDR (Power On and HOLD the Power Button till MAGLDR options are shown)

Boot into AD SD or AD Recovery to enter CWM Recovery Mode

If coming from another ROM, do a Nandroid Backup (just to be sure)

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Go to mounts and storage and mount sdcard

Copy the ZIP you downloaded to your sdcard and unmount

Select install zip from sdcard

Find the flashable.zip and install

Reboot and remove Phone from USB

After initial setup, reboot to get everything settled

note:u need to partition your sd card properly to test as per different rom .http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905089

I hope I can run Winmo 6.5, Windows 7, Android, and Ubuntu all together with no issues. That would own.
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
Is Gingerbread available for HD2?
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Why would you like to have all OS's together? LoL.

Yes, you can install Ginger on it.
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
Well, why wouldn't you? I'm a geek, dude! I want all the OS's I can get. Just get one MASSIVE data card to hold them?

[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
OK then. :D :D
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Glad to hear you won the action and got yourself a HD2. I am sorry to inform you though no matter if you put a 32GB micro SD card in your HD2 you will not be abale to run all the OS's at once. As of right now here is your options.

Windows Mobile by itself

Windows Mobile dual booting Andriod, Ubutu, or Meego from SD card

A NAND Andriod ROM by itself

Windows Pbone 7 ROM by itself

Windows Phone 7 ROM dual booting Andriod, Ubuntu, or Meego from SD card

You see right now you can only run Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 from NAND. THE DFT bas said they are working on booting Windows Mobile from SD card. But I truly doubt we will ever see Windows Phone 7 from SD card cause it portions your SD card and uses it for it's memory so you can not use your SD card as a added storage to your phone.
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
That's right. It partitions it to NTFS? Anyhow, I don't mind not having them booted at the same time, rather I wanted them to be able to boot once one shuts down.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
Hi guys.

Which ROM are you using on HD2? I flashed CoreDroid v1.4, but it likes to lag too much. :( I really like this ROM, but I think I should find something new. I want smooth working phone. :)

I have EU version with 512MB memory.

Thanks all!
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
The guy I bought it on the ebay auction and...guy never sent it or replying to his messages.

He replied back pretty pissed off. Basically, he said "what's wrong with you I said I sent it already". Of course, he only said he was shipping it that day and would not reply to my emails in the days after. His excuse was him and his family moved which I can understand. However, he should still have updated my winning item with a status of "shipped" and included a tracking number since he sent it priority. Bunch of crap, but ok.

I'm really excited for this phone. I can't wait. :eek:
[HD2 General] Ambush083:
Great phone doesn't charge. Have to return it. I did take it to T Mobile where we tried a different battery and a few different types of resets. Couldn't restore firmware, so. I did find one local to me I'm gonna try to buy that one. I'm fixing to return the one I got from eBay.
[HD2 General] lhayati:
1. It depends on the price. How much are you buying it for?

I'm selling mine on amazon, but will sell it directly on xda for discount (no fees)

2. Windows mobile 6.5 has some really nice features thanks to HTC sense, don't really know much about the marketplace.

3. I would recommend running a Stock Gingerbread build such as the nexus rom. Developers are currently working on Gingerbread roms with HTC Sense. They're much faster and snappier than the 2.2 roms.
[HD2 General] azer0:
I've been running HyperDroid GBX v8 + HyperDroid CM7 (they're both fantastic, i would highly recommend to anyone). I've flashed a lot of roms since i bought my HD2 and i found those 2 roms very very good.

Check em out.
[HD2 General] saMMuel'sky:
I really appreciate that! I will try both of them.

Thank you very much!
[HD2 General] danct2005:
You can try also AmeriCan android rom which is very fast. Any gingerbread rom is more faster then android 2.2 roms

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Raditude:
Just out of curiosity, and wondering if anyone would like to take up the challenge. How hard would it be to port the Cellos Text-To-Speech Voice from Mac OSX to the Android Platform?

Cellos is a voice that is similar to the "Droid" voice used in Verizon's marketing of it's Android phones. I think it would be kind of a novelty for the phones to always speak in that voice. The voice however changes pitch with every syllable to the tune of "In The Hall Of The Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. While I like the song, I think the voice, once ported to Android would sound better in monotone - presumably like a robot.

I don't have the slightest idea of where to begin, so this is why I am presenting it here.

Any thoughts?

[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
About to get the Inspire and get right on with rooting, although I've been reading and not understanding how this goldcard works completely. I guess my concern is the errors some users are getting? Where they need to use another HTC device to get the right cid code or something? I dont have another HTC device, can I actually lock my device out? Please advise as I'll risk rooting only so far. Thanks, maybe I'm just blowing this out of proportion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
if you follow the instructions in the hack kit, you shouldn't have any issues. this was my first experience with creating a gold card and it went smoothly. just be patient and persistent.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I am also about to buy the Inspire. So can we use the bundled SD card for the gold card? or do we have to have a spare card for emergency restore and stuff?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
You can use the card it comes with.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SysAdmNj:
Good question as I was going to use a spare one. I might as well use the one it came with. I'm about to begin. whats the worst that can happen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I will probably keep a spare one around. Would you recommend that?

Thans
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
use whatever works. just keep in mind you can't use the goldcard.img file you get from the email on any card other than the one you got the serial number from. I bought a 16 GB card to use with my phone anyway, so I used the 8 GB it came with and put it in a drawer in case I ever need it again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
Oh okay. I have 1 8GB with me right now and I will get the one with Inspire. So is 8GB enough for the gold card so that I will keep it for .img file?

I will keep the spare in my phone.

Sorry I am a total noob in this. I come from iPod family :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
It will work with a 2 GB card minimum from what I read.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
what does that mean? i have a 8 gig myself so just process for a goldcard.img? then save then use if needed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mike130784:
Sorry to Bump this up,.

but i got a HTC Desire,.since 2010,

made a goldcard back then (4g microsdhc )

rooted ,.used several diffrent roms,. but im getting Low on space issues,..

so i bought this 16gb micro SDHC ,Backed up my rom., and now i want to put my backed up rom on this new 16GB card,.and use that for permanent,.

do i need to make a goldcard from this 16gb as well ? and if yes ,.how >? i cant boot with it because my rom is not on there,.i tried partitioning it in CWM recovery. and mounted the SD card put my clockworkmod on the SD card with the Backup,...

Restored,..but it stops and says cant mount sd ext.,...

then i tried mounting the SD card and start the Goldcard tool and tried making a Goldcard of it,.and tried the Restore again,...didnt work as well,..

now my problem got bigger,..as the 16gb card cant be mounted anymore,.or used in any other device ,like my wifes Tablet,..

any one can help me out on this ,:confused:

thanks in advance ,.:rolleyes:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
The goldcard was only necessary to get past the very first stage of rooting. A goldcard is used to force the device into accepting a ROM that was not designed for the particular device (in the case of Inspire, you must install a DesireHD ROM to be able to continue with the rooting process).

Once you're rooted, the rooting process sets SuperCID in hardware so a gold card is no longer needed, even if you want to install a ROM not designated for your device.

In short, use your 16GB card just as you normally would (maybe save the 4G in case you ever need to root a different device).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mike130784:
Thank you for your fast reply.,

i understand the idea behind the goldcard beter now,.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
OK here is what has caused issue...

Running stock.

Rooted using SuperOneClick.

Installed ROM Manager.

Flashed CWM for Captivate - successful.

Backup ROM - boots into what looks like stock recovery (3e).

I click reboot... Android with Yellow Triangle. Requires pull. No way around this. Tried factory reset.

Used ODIN to flash firmware... successful.

On reboot... back into recovery... click reboot and Android with Yellow Triangle.

Any ideas please!!!!???

PS... before going into recovery everytime it does a Movi-check thing and says stuff about media update, application update etc then ends up in Android System Recovery (3e)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverslotcar:
Here is where you went wrong. You used CWM for the CAPTIVATE. And your phone is not a captivate SGH-I897
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neffarious:
Are you in download mode? If so remove the usb cable when you boot into recovery.

Edit: isn't the i9010 just the Armani captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
I was in download mode when I used ODIN but then it reset at the end and the Galaxy S i9010 splash screen came up...

Then into the recovery...

I just need a way to get out of this damn recovery!

And... the i9010 I believe is the Armani Captivate. This is UK one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
some people had trouble with the i9010 rom on the captivate, im not gonna pretend to know why but maybe you can pm the guys from team komin or design gears who have worked with that rom in making it compatable with the i897, they might know something about the differences and inner workings. you are the first person i know of to try anything on the armani model.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neffarious:
install the update.zip package twice in a row.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
stop giving newb answers, 3e recovery wont run an update.zip. he needs to flash a kernel with cmw or 2e patched in or a modified 3e recovery before he can think about cwm recovery,

but now his problems run deeper than that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
I've not downloaded any update.zip

Is it already on the phone?? I have not used the stock recovery manager for many moons!!

Anyway, I have managed to exit the loop. When the triangle came up I just kept tapping the menu button and then it reset.

Interestingly though... despite a "successful" flash via ODIN, I have all the apps preinstalled prior to flashing.

Is that right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yes that is normal, the apps are on a different partition,

the update.zip is installed to your internal sd card when you go into rom manager and select "flash clockwork mod recover" but you still need to run the update.zip twice before you get into cwm

problem is that 3e recovery wont allow it so you need to flash a kernel with a different recovery first, then you can get into cwm, then you might be able to flash back to a proper kernel and access cwm from rom manager
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Thanks Dani.

So just to be clear about where I am and where I go from here...

Back into clean JL1 firmware. Had to reroot. ROM Manager says CWM Recovery is installed but I end up straight at 3e.

Is there a way of removing the CWM it thinks is there or a quick way to get into CWM?

Thanks. A lot harder than my Nexus S was...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neffarious:
I thought he was on 2e. my mistake. There is a thread here in this forum including a modified 3e recovery that does not require digitally signed packages. Check it out.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213&highlight=recovery+modified
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
to be honest you are taking a risk because there are differences between this and a captivate.

normal proceedure is to root-install rom manager- reboot into recovery-"reinstall packages" -phone reboots into recovery again-"reinstall packages" then you are in clockwork mod

but with "3e" you have to root-install rom manager - flash alternate captivate kernel with clockwork mod patched in via oden/neldars kernel app.

the problem is that nobody knows for sure if you can run an i897 kernel or modified i9000 kernel on that phone permanantly. you are the Guinea pig, it might not boot, it might have random problems.

and if it doesn't work try flash to stock-root-install rom manager- flash captivate kernel with 2e/modified 3e recovery (look several pages back in the development section) - reinstall packages- phone reboots into recovery - reinstall packages- phone reboots into clockwork mod- flash proper kernel

big risk flashing kernels though, i'd talk to designgears about it first, he bricked a captivate with an armani rom if i remember right. and i mean hard bricked, no boot loop no download mode, no recovery mode! just black screen!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
yeah i did that too. it was from the SBL.bin and boot.bin that was included with the rom from samsung.

it had nothing to do with kernel flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMathMan:
Pirateghost... any ideas on a lagfix for the Armani? Know of any working methods?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
the kernel from the armani worked fine with my captivate, but lacked recovery 2e or voodoo, so chrisryn made a kernel FROM the armani source for us to use on andromeda....my guess is that it will work fine for you.

It also does it with other applications such as the Facebook Launcher.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Once you flash your ROM, run Fix Permissions preferably from recovery, else use the version(s) in either Rom Manager, or Titanium.

Once that completes, reboot device. When you restore things from Titanium, just restore apps, preferably one-by-one, and only the app, not the data.

Do not at all recommend restoring apps+data+system data from Titanium. Why?

The system data backup residing in Titanium was for the last ROM, or the last time the backup was completed. As such, if you flash a different ROM, you are overwriting the system data of the new ROM with the system data from the old ROM - that spells odd behavior, mass force closes. etc. etc.
