OS Question! - HD2 General

Hey all!
I was looking through my phone settings/specs today and i found something that kind of confused me.
Under Software Information, i see my phone OS Version is 5.2.xxxxx. Does that mean im running Windows Mobile 5.2? or is it something else?
Im new to the world of Windows Mobile phones, since my last phone was a iphone.
So if anyone could clarify this, that would be great.

That's a build number...don't sweat it my friend, you're running 6.5
Check my sig, you'll see the proper version numbers for the stock rom...any you find should match those, and probably will.

Oh ok thanks! And yes i am running the same OS Version as your HD2, but my ROM is the new 2.13xxxx one =)
Also, is there a way to calibrate the Touch Screen? I know you calibrate the G-Sensor, but i cant find out how to do it for the screen.

THIS is a real good place to start for upgrading your rom. Do a google search fro PPC Freeware and you will find apps.

Or, Wingster helps streamline the proccess:

ROM's: http://thewingster.com/tp2gsmroms.aspx
check the sticky on Rhodium themes, applications and software. or just click on my sig where it says "skyler17" for some free apps also
If you're wanting to upgrade via an official ROM, T-Mobile hasn't provided a 6.5 ROM for the TP2 yet

Or is there anway to make this phone similar to the andriod OS?

this forum is the best source for apps. Android doesn't have as many programs but it seems so since they're all gathered in one place.

There's thousands of more apps, outside of Wingster.
Check out sites like 1800ppcfreeware.com (I think thats the right address)

It's not a "Wingster ROM".....
Wingster only provides access to the ROM's, in an easy to use format. I haven't created any of those ROM's. Soo.....
About your question, you can install ANY app developed for Windows Mobile. Just because you have a custom ROM, doesn't mean a thing, since it's still Windows Mobile Operating System.
So, visit http://www.1800pocketpc.com/ and get yourself some free awesome apps!!!

Because your icon will appear as "H" now.
3G = H.
So whenever you see the "H" up there, that means you're on the fast 3G. It's all right, it's just a different icon You still get as fast, or possibly faster download speeds.

Android 2 to HD2?

Hey friends,
probably this has been asked before, but still a major consideration of which phone to buy.
anyone knows for certain if this will be available \ can be done?
thanks a lot,
P.S you guys seem most skillful dev team, keep up guys.
it is possible but no one can assure you that this will happen. look at the orginal HD port as an example

you will never find the right answer, and we all already can see it is pretty tough to put an non android phone with a fully working android? So far, it is pretty impossible. Why would you putting high hope with a wm phone to be ported with android? this will not be a good factor at all for choosing a phone? my 2 cents.
If I read the signs right, there will bei a Android Version of the Leo in early 2010.
Maybe there is a change to flash between the two OS.
On the other Hand this would mean HTC didnt give an capactive Display to the Leo for being ready for Windows Mobile 7 but for being able to sell it as Android Device aswell.

If you want to google for this version you should use the magic words "HTC Dragon"
Cool .. I'm reading this forum for two weeks to get reason NOT to buy Leo. Still haven't found one. But this might be it ..

The 1.72 rom for O2 UK

nice/fast/stable
It's running nice/fast/stable on my gf's hd2, but it looks a bit dated once you've tried some of the 6.5.3 roms. Are Microsoft not releasing 6.5.3 to HTC or something? It's really strange that they don't seem to want to promote advances in the OS when android and the like are getting over the air updates to their phones. Little things like the documents tab and the eReader tab from 6.5.3 (plus the fact it's just that little bit more finger friendly) make it all a bit more exciting to show off.
Gotta love my HD2 though Is it true you can't even change the background picture on an iPhone?

anyone have issues signing into google maps v4.1? since upgrading ROM i can't sign in, even from the default version on the ROM,version 3.2.1. i can sign into my google account online ok. something is wrong with google maps i believe. any help would be appreciated.
Does anyone know what .net framework is embedded in this ROM?
its cool managed to get .net 3.5 installed again, had to uninstall windows mobile device centre and went into program features and it was there to be reinstalled. All good!
updated to this ROM which is now manika 2012, but the home/today screen won't rotate, i thought it should with this version of manila, or is it a feature of never/custom roms?

I believe this is in custom roms only at the mo.
The HD2 should have been fully landscape supported from the start tbh.

Looking for any ROM's/Radios/Bios to convert Italian Shift into English

The title says it all. I got an Italian Shift off of 1daysteals. I've got it liberated, and will probably do the HardSPLL tonight. Would really like to change the WM6 side into English.
So, with that, does anyone have any ROM's they could share with me? Also looking for BIOS's and it looks like there was some radio dumps out there as well. Also in that vein, I was going to try and do a dump of the device before I do any more hardcore hacking on it. How difficult is that?
Thanks.

Yes, the ROM (both the NAND and Haret versions, serious battery drain. The best I got out of them is about 18-20 hours, mainly on standby mode with very few calls and SMS.
I have reverted back to WM. I would highly recommend the Orange WEH 6.5.3 rom by HTC0017. It is very battery-friendly and fast, too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719627
I am using the Clean version with the iPhoneToday user interface and the ability to switch between 2 different views for SMSes, as shown in the attached pictures.
