Edit(13.03.10) Ew... I can't believe I wrote this once :S
Hey im getting my first smart phone the christmas, and I cant wait, but after doing loadsa research I know that windows mobile is total crap in comparisson to iphone and android OS's. So I was wondering if a few different apps and such existed to make the HD2 even better
1) Is there an app which lets you put a pin/security code on your phone (like the iphone has) so it needs to be entered before you can access it?
2) Are there any skinning apps to change the appearance of the windows UI when not in sense?
3) Is there anyway to port android/iphone OS to the HTC HD2? (I've seen there a site dedicated to that for android,will they be doing a leo one anytime soon?) plus is it worth it or does it become laggy and such
4) Are there any other cool apps (not tacky games or calculators) which you might suggest for me to put on?
5) How do I install these things, I see most of it is in CAB files, but how do I install them to the phone?
Thanks

1- Yes, you can lock the screen with Password. When you power on the screen, you are prompted to enter a pin/ paraphrase.
2- If I understand, you want to change the from sense to another UI. Try SPB Shell.
3- The project is running to port Android on HD2 and the progress is in the development section. Still, there is a long way to go.
4- Once you buy the phone, you can join the Leo themes and applications section, where you will find pretty good applications. My favorites are: ShazamID, Resco Explorer, Garmin GPS, Core Player, Skype, Putty mobile etc..
5- You need to copy the cab file to your device. Once it's there, you tap on it and an installation wizard appears.
1) Yes, that´s part of the system (can be set up during first start or later)
2) Yes, that´s part of the system (check settings for "today" and more)
3) No. Android maybe when HTC Dragon is launched? iPhone? Hmm...
4) That depends on your own needs and requests... so many to choose from.
5) A cab is copied to the memory card of the phone and launched from there.

Because I love everything else about the HD2, its just Ive heard some bad things about wm6.5, and Ive seen when not in sense (like browsing folders) it can look ugly. Dont get me wrong, I love the phone and cant wait for it!
(Oh and I hate apple, I hate everything about them :/ apart from the amazing collection of apps being made for the Iphone/touch)
(Windows boy ;D )
Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't that bad. And you don't spend a huge amount of time outside Manila anymore. Sure, the file explorer isn't that good looking, but it's pretty damn functional!
Try it for yourself, and you will see, Windows Mobile 6.5 is very solid. Lots of tweak. Lots to discover. Amazing.
As for applications, just Google around. There are LOADS!
Thanks man, I will ^^
Know any good app sites?
So Far-
xda developers
freewarepocketpc.net
Ive heard and seen that the M$ app store sucks.
Where can I find ShazamID?

For application site try:
Handango
Mobile2Day
PocketGear
The mainstream developers like SpB, SBSH, Resco, Vito etc also all allow downloads direct from their sites.
There are literally thousands of applications available for WinMo- and have been since the iPhone was a twinkle in Jobs' eye Many take advantage of the fact that WinMo is genuinely multi-tasking so can run many apps at once. Some are cheap, other expensive, just like mainstream PC programs. Likewise some are innovative and useful, others total crap
Most come as either EXE files which are run on the PC whilst the WM device is docked, and install from there. Others are CAB files which have to be run locally on the device. The advantage of these is that you can keep copies of all your CAB files on the storage card for re-installation in an emergency if needs be. Combined with a free program like PIMBackup from Dotfred.com, you can be up & running without access to the internet in an emergency

And you believe every bullsh*t that you read somewhere?
You can't trust anyone these days, blogs and sites that were serious sources in the past are now full of iPhone fanboys, like Gizmodo. Don't believe anything you read somewhere, try everything yourself if possible.
To clarify: Windows Mobile is not bad at all. At least it's not worse than the other OSs, Android, iPhone OS, Symbian...
All mobile OSs have lots of flaws these days.
Windows Mobile has a bad UI in some places, but it's very powerful and great parts of the UI are more well thought out than e.g. the iPhone UI (like the homescreen and notofications concept).
iPhone OS lacks critical features and is severly limited, but easy to use.
Android is somewhere in between.
So, no OS is perfect and none is best or worst, they are just different and all have their good and bad sides.
Windows Mobile is still by far the most powerful mobile OS, lots of things that an iPhone or Android device can't do without hacking/jailbreaking or even can't do at all can be done with Windows Mobile out of the box (like the screen locking you asked for, for example).

Evidently you are as stupid as you research. Windows Mobile is a FAR superior OS than Android and iPhone.
WM isnt perfect but its a **** load better than either of the OS's you suggest, and thats not to say that future releases of android may be on par, but at the moment there is no comparison.
I would suggest that you hold your tongue when you don't really have a clue about what your saying, firstly if this is your first smart-phone, how the hell can you know if "windows mobile is total crap"
have you ever used it? NO you said so yourself!! also im predicting that you have also never had an Android or an iPhone since they are in the same range of devices!!
Secondly, just to bring you up on something, your spelling is disgraceful!
"doing loadsa research" this statement essentially says "walked into a shop and got a HTC without reading"
anyone who had done research into a particular device would not need to ask your second question as you would know from your research!!!
"comparisson" its comparison! and you have made no comparisons of any kind!
Lastly, from this bank of questions it can easily be seen that you are a moron!!

1: yes, you enable the pin!! - Wow that was hard!
2: yeah, search for skinning in the Diamond/Blackstone forum - Again, I think im going to break a sweat answering these
3: yes, it dont work yet but it will be possable - heart palpitations onset!!!
4: yeah, search
5: ROLL ON THE F**KING FLOOR PISSING MYSELF!!! That is amazingly retarded!!!
You have done NO research, you have NO idea what these devices can do, you never will.
you cannot expect people to spoon feed you.
I suggest that you send your HD2 back as it will be way to hard for you to work, also if your questions and statements remain this stupid, i can guarantee that people will not help you!
I really hope you get a HD2 and do something stupid with it like turn it into a nice paper weight because you not read instructions!
ROFL
ENJOY you XMAS Prezzie!!
@Xeon
I was just reading through some of your posts and noticed you sold your HTC HD2, now you've got me worried that my phone ( which had cost alot and been alot of hassle to get) will be a dissapointment to me on christmas day :/
what do you think? Im not planning to use it for too much business stuff, just internet browsing, texts, phoning, facebook, youtube ect

yeh having CAB files on the memory card or internal storage (diamond) is a seriously great idea whenever you loaded on a new rom, you will always have easy access to all of your favorite apps and programs its just wonderful

^ thats so sad i cant believe we actually have people on this forum (actually a quite know person in this case) who acts so disrespectful towards new members...
So what if he didn't do so much research? what is the big problem? if you get so mad then press the red "X" on the tab or press "back". no one says you have to answer right?
And no OS is better than another. Windows Mobile may be the best in your and my opinion, but Iphone OS might be better for the average user, who is not tech interested but just want a phone that works, and are able to do a lot, without them having to learn a lot of new stuff. No matter what you say i have no doubt that the iphone OS is more intuitive out of the box than Windows Mobile is. (i am gonna get flamed now )

Firstly this isnt a personal attack, it is to balance out the damage posts like this can do to devices like this. this is usually the first place people come when researching HTC devices, since this is the foremost site for HTC devices.
For EG if someone actually wanted a HTC HD2, came here to research the device and its capabilities, then read your post and the others like it they probably will drop the device and move to iPhone!
but now, if they read the thread and see a post like this defending the devices it counter balances the mis-statements in your post.
In the last month since this device has come out, due to the popularity of the iPhone and subsequent hardware/software problems pertaining towards the device, people like you have been buying the HTC HD2 before you know what your getting into and posting threads like this ALL over the forum eg:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598035
&
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598035
etc.
Also i specifically reference to this post HERE for a full explanation of why i flamed!!
these people have basically done the same as you, got/getting the phone and slagging it off before it has even arrived.
this device is the best device of its kind available, and as with everything if you know how to use it you can improve the device and its function, but coming onto a forum BEFORE you have even held the device and saying its **** is just plain stupid and you deserve to get flamed.
as for attacking me, "Cyber Ninja" well yes, i fix alot of things here and i also seem to be the one who speaks straight and doesnt give a crap if i offend, i just speak what people think.
you could have answered ANY of your questions with the search button!

I think if you get the device i would be extremely useful to you since i can provide most of the "softwares" you are looking for, things that should be discussed via PM! you get me?
also for themes you may want to see my themeing thread: HERE I also have 90% of the visual tweaks mapped out to the registry and have started posting the items: HERE
i fixed the GPS Location Issues on the Diamond, and i also think that my method is still fastest about, as i get fix in about 3 seconds WITHOUT the Modded GPS Driver.

Well no, it is better because the capability to do anything is there you just have to know how to do it! hence it is a more complete OS.

BUT... with the speed that people learn things, the "Average User" may find the iPhone good until they understand its limitations, then it becomes a crap os!
I got my MUM and iPhone for her birthday in July, by mid Nov she sold it because the phone was too basic, the sat nav apps were rubbish, wifi over heated, bluetooth didnt work unless it was iphone to iphone, no mms etc etc and a whole host of other things.
not she is on HTC any time the thinks of something she needs her phone to do, she just asks me and the phone can do it!!
EG: she has 3 different sat navs, iGO8, Navigon & TomTom. she has TMC working through the FM Receiver on the phone and TTS! that on its own is nearly £700 if you go to the shop and buy a satnav with TMC & TTS.
this cannot be dont on the other phones!
the problem is as i said iPhone quickly becomes easy to use and boring, as with the andriob, but this will get better as im sure we all no.
my problem is that the more bad mouthing HTC gets the less people get the devices, the less people buy the fewer new devices we get to play with!

Well, what can I say?
I tried search, RTFM, Sony Ericsson forums and even Google.
Well what do ya know?... I didn't find a squat about how to use upnp/dlna on the Xperia x10 with the 2.1 update.
Anyone else who can point me in the right direction here?
Sony Ericsson where supposed to include DLNA support with this update afaik.
By the way: Manuals, FAQ and the forums haven't updated for the 2.1 version yet.
One can ask oneself, What the heck where they doing all this time? They obviously didn't update the manuals and FAQs anyway.
EDIT: Diving even further into the 2.1 update. It looks and behaves exactly like the vanilla Android 2.1, they just included the usual Moxier, Office, Quadropop, Mediascape and Timescape. What did take em so long doing this?

You didn't search at all, don't lie.
They announced in June (!) that DLNA would come in an update AFTER the update to 2.1.
I don't even have 2.1 and I can tell from screenshots that it doesn't look a think like vanilla Android, nor does it act like it either.
Also, the update went out on a Sunday, I doubt the people working at SE's website updating team were at their offices that day.

- HD video recording as per the same execution as Sony Ericsson Vivaz™
- Wireless home connectivity via DLNA
- Improvements to signature applications Timescape™ and Mediascape to make them even smarter and richer

Since we already got the OS to 2.1, HD video recording and the improves Scape apps, I assumed the DLNA where to be included aswell.
By the way, please don't come with a lie about me lying. I did my research, but must have misunderstood it.

No worries, man. Others can be dicks here. I read the same thing as you. I've heard that it'd be separate updates before, after, as well as included in 2.1 from all the stupid idiots at SE.
Maybe you didn't know, they ve divided the update to 2 updates.
1 st update will give you HD Video Recording & Android 2.1
2 nd update will improve the Timescape & Mediascape also will support DLNA
They even mentionned those on the blog but too lazy to find wich post
Very well... I got the question answered.
The updates are still to come. Thanks!
I thought it was me missing out on some obvious setting right under my nose.

Sorry, I guess I need to include a "" when I'm joking around. Don't take the internet so seriously.
DLNA is coming. When is anyone's guess, but will probably be a headline feature of the next major update. (By major, I don't mean a small revision to fix bugs that were a part of this update to 2.1).

there are apps on the market that enable dlna, since it can all be done in software. Simple search the market for dlna, i like the app called remotemedia
Use VLC Stream and Convert. The dev Traveldevel is amazing. He always replies to me with tons of help. My X10a can stream 1080p content from my computer, across my house and work flawlessly. It's so awesome.

All due respect, folks, but where is this going? All i wished for is MAGLDR install of gingerbread looking Android OS for my good old HD2 but instead i wasted 6 hours looking for the right ROM, updating MAGLDR ONLY TO install CWM, installing CWM backup or something, retrying 10 different ROMs all of which had MAJOR BUGS.......

Have you tried Sergio's ROM's? I am working with them to release a NAND-only (no SD-EXT partition) version. It is very easy to install via CWM, which is how most ROM's now should be installing. CWM gives you a lot more power- wiping partitions, backing up / restoring, mounting USB storage, etc. It is very powerful. That's how all other Android phones flash new ROM's and updates.
Besides - once you install MAGLDR and CWM, all you have to do is flash a ROM via CWM. You don't have to flash them again unless there's an update... And with CWM you can do it all from your phone instead of having your phone tethered to your PC. It's very convenient!
I have tested MANY MANY roms and found most to work great, much better then SD builds for MANY different reasons. Majority of ROMS/Builds now have great battery life, some can have slightly less but with a few tweaks they are fine.
If you are having "major" problems its simply because you are not doing things correctly and then are throwing a hissy fit like this topic blaming devs work for your own ignorance and lack of knowledge.
Grow up and do some damn reading and learn something.
PS. If you want to use Android but cant understand how to accomplish things properly I suggest you go and buy a Desire HD.

Well, you can take any CWM ROM and make it a DAF ROM if you want... but DAF always blows away all your partitions, which means you can't upgrade between ROM releases. The nice thing about CWM ROM's is that it is all customizable and you can upgrade, for example, from Sergio's v 1.1 to his v 1.2 ROM without losing your data partition. It is just much more powerful.
Now, that being said, is DAF easier? Probably... from the simplicity factor yes, point, click, welcome to ROM.
Try the rom in my sig.
You can get it here:
http://www.theultimatedroid.com/forum/index.php?/topic/989-hd2-300-rc-release-candidate/
You don't have to partition your sd card, though you can if you want to and you'll gain some performance for doing it.
Mine is not partitioned and the rom runs great.
It is a CWM rom tho, so you will have to have CWM to install it.
As for the process being TOO COMPLICATED ?!!
You can't be serious? This **** is free of charge, and nobody held the hands of the devs who made MAGLDR or CWM or the **** ton of FREE ROMS that you so unappreciatively ***** about. It was maybe a little more complicated for them huh? Nobody is forcing you to customize your phone, if Android is too hard for you, stick to Windows Mobile 6.5. Every HD2 comes with it pre-installed, nice and simple
Nice deduction, Watson.
You say you're not a noob, that must make you a plain and simple moron. You're lucky there are actually people on this board willing to put up with your little ***** fit. My advice to you is to climb down off your tampon and ask a legit help question, or go buy another phone. You won't be missed.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
just makes a solid arguement to what ive said all along
some people shouldnt be allowed to own cellphones and try and mod them
btw i just got my hd2 a week ago and had it up and running Android with CWM in less
than 20 minutes with no problems at all and i didnt have to fiddle with my sd card at all
so with that said i will add this
Thank you to A/all the Devs, cookers and testers that make it possiable to run Android
on our HD2s
Aren't you embarrassed to admit how hard you fail at modding your HD2? Maybe you wanted to troll this forum out of frustration, but why admit to being such a dunce?
You should go for windows phone 7. Its geared toward people like you.

Exactly, he hasn't even took 5 minutes to realise that you can EASILY partition your SD card via CWR or as you say some roms dont even require it, it all depends on what type of rom you want/need, plus its not even needed at all on a US HD2, but instead he comes in here shouts his mouth of and cries a little about how its all too complicated and not his fault.
Ok seems like the OP judging from his recent edit to his post for some reasons thinks I'm the one who doesnt get the point so I thought I would try and break his post down and explain some things to him.....

And your point? If you want to try new/better things you need to learn and adapt.
Partitioning your card is so that you can utilize more space for user data on EU HD2's. You use a partition on SD card to extend your internal memory or to move user/app data to card.
Also not all roms require this.

Found the link. Thanks anyway! (Anyone viewing on their phone, unckeck mobile view. You'll find it from there!
On a seperate note: I'm not having the paid market app problem!! Downloaded, wiped/all, and flashed, used ice and fire gapps (newer version than the one on my sdcard(for some reason it doesn't bring you to the "normal" gapps download screen. Goes straight to the homescreen after gmail sign-in. I downloaded gapps manually btw) after that, I tried downloaded weather and toggle Widgets, paid app, and it downloaded and installed fine. So, I decided to do more of my paid apps (TB donate version, rom manager pro, several games) and they all downloaded just fine!!! All in all, the only "bug" I found was the market wont let me download multiple apps at once. If you try and download multiple apps, it freezes and I have to cancel and download all of them individually!
Sorry for the wall-o-text, but those are my findings. Thought I'd share them with y'all. Hope this helps some of you!! Have a good one.
Thanks for the great rom bud!
I don't know why this rom isn't getting any love or why it was moved to general but anywho...great rom so far! Did a fresh install/wipe and I haven't had any problem with paid market apps at all Just wondering, do you recommend the kernel on your website instead of the included one?
the rom will be again on Xda when we reach a release that is stable for all :
keep up with the latest news , fixes , changes with our google plus comunity >> Venom Rom Center

if you are going to build a rom, you dont use a factory image, you use source, then build it up. btw, all factory images work on all providers/devices. anyways, taking a factory image and adding stuff to it is not providing "your" rom, its providing googles rom with add ons. thats different.

Even though the stock images were released to different carriers, AFAIK they should work on all N6's no matter which carrier. If that is in fact the case, the LVY48C image should work fine.

i hear ya, and i feel for you as well. that situation actually sucks. but, you should build your own aosp rom. well, at least id be even prouder of it if it was mine. anyways, as long as you are happy, then im happy
btw, we all do this on xda for free. ive been helping people, developers as well, for years here. ive never ever even considered charging people for help. as i dont develop, i cant contribute to open source that way. so ive devoted my time to open source by helping all those that need help with android.. users, developers, and everybody else

I just think it would be interesting to see a N6 ROM with Sense integrated. I really don't care if you use AOSP source or a stock factory image. I am really looking forward to seeing your ROM available for the Nexus 6.

LVY48C Should do fine. I am personally on Verizon which uses the LMY47Z image, but I have flashed a couple of ROMs that used the LYZ28E image and I had no issues at all. So it is my understanding that all images should work on any carrier. Very much looking forward to the ROM!

I completely forgot about WiFi Calling! I have Verizon so its never been something I've worried about. But yes, LYZ28E would probably be the best option as it allows T Mobile users to use WiFi Calling. Otherwise, after looking at the code there are not many differences between LYZ28E and LVY48C.

Cool story. How about you get started on that instead of highjacking another developer's thread.
