Are more XDA developers going to produce WP7 ROMs? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Would really like to try out WP7 but I heard there are some touchscreen issues with the current and only ROM available. Based on how DFT released the the first Android NAND build and opened the gates for developers to update with new fixes that are currently I can only hope more developers start doing the same with WP7. Also with the workaround to have access to the marketplace does this mean we can also receive updates from Microsoft since they recognize it as a HD7?

I hope so.

I don't think we'll be getting any updates because of our hard buttons and every other wp7's capacitive buttons.. But I could be wrong and hope im wrong
Sent from my HD4.5 using Board Express

It seems to me like current ROM is pretty much perfect, or as perfect as it's going to get, given that the OS is closed and never existed for this device in the first place (unlike Android/WinMo6).
I've not had a single issue since I installed - everything works identically to a 'real' WP7 device.

Guys lets use the best motivation for developers
I make the beginning:
For an fully fonctional Costum and STABLE WP7 Rom for our HD2s WITH WORKING MARKETPLACE
where you dont get the error message "cant get this info right now try again in a while" when trying installing an app
I will donate 35 $

I will donate 25$, with a better Kamera

u have to change the registrz etc....see the first posts in this forum...
than this message wont appear..

yes it is . I had a hd7 and this build is just the same in every way IMO .

Like mentioned, the camera lacking the autofocus is the only major problem in the DFT build. Because Microsoft only has one version available for every manufacturer and they cant make any changes to the system for now, theres not much to develop.
I never thought I'd like WP7 this much, it's clean and simple. With the integration of Zune it's a great mediaplayer.
The only thing you have to do is activate to make the OS usefull, without activating it's just an empty skin.
Oh, a decent door to door navigation app is what's still missing.

actually the preview of the camera is crap but the actual photos it takes are perfectly in focus and look fine to me

When you go to setting/about it should show your phone as HD7, not Leo70... if it says Leo70, then you didn't change the registry right.

Can you maybe give me an step by step tutorial?
I know it would maybe take 10 min or something but you would really help me with that.
I searched entire days but couldn't figure out what to do and which registry type i should create in the HTC folder i made in the registry.
The marketplace is the last thing remained more making my wp7 perfect.
Thanks really a lot

For me I had a bad version of XMOD (45kb instead of 131kb) found the other and reinstalled and ok . (342kb before install) .

No, it's capable of taking some great pictures, in the right conditions and use...can you give some more details on what you're trying to take pictures of, etc? And please clarify exactly what you mean by "the picture is garbage"
Some tips:
-make sure the lens cover is clean, every time before you take pics...it doesn't take very much crud or finger grease on there to distort your images
-hold the phone as still as possible when shooting, the HD2 doesn't have a lot of instability tolerance
-lighting is crucial, you may have to make adjustments in the environment when taking indoor shots
-go into the settings on the camera (the little gear icon that appears when you hit the tab below the shutter button), and then choose "advanced". On page one is the resolution setting, and on page two is the quality setting...make sure both of those aren't set too low.
also, learning how to spell really helps...if you cant, people on here are less inclined to answer you. just a heads up

Really man...? We have people here from all different countries. Spelling is probably the least of our worries. Now noobs coming in asking about Android on HD2, probably more of an issue to call someone out on.

I can attest to this one: Couple of finger smudges and all of the sudden your once-sharp pics get blurry. A quick wipe with the inside of a cotton shirt is all I do.

You missed one key word... PEOPLE from different countries. Not the phone lol. He could be from another country of origin; meaning his spelling of words in the English dictionary might not be perfect.
Maybe he just failed English for all I know. Point is, theres far more constructive things to do on this forum than faulting other members for spelling a word wrong
lol thanks people for the reply, and it was funny also , anyway i like the phone when i got it n the new roms that u can flash are great but i think im giving up on this phone plus not a lot of good apps, what i really like was the size of the screen, movies are great on it ,n big plus that it was a windows phone n no im not an iphone fan . This phone has a lot of potential . Any one know of a better phone for Tmobile?

From what I understand it doesn't run on the US version, but I'm not caught up on my reading. I would love to be able to dual boot Wmo and Android but only because I'm a nerd and I love to mess with my phones.

to instal, extrat files to the ROOT of your sd card, then run the HARET program. i suggest you use 7-zip to extract the files.

HD2 WP7 ROM available for download? Nah, just talking...

There was some links here, but of course - not for HD2. Still waiting then...
UPDATE.
Do not download and flash with downloaded files, unless you want your HD2 bricked!

I don't know if you've noticed, but this xda.cn thread is from today.
I am confused
is there a wp7 for HD2 or not? the linke is too chinese for me
There is some download link, but even though i have an account on xda.cn - i can't download because of some credis i suppose (google translator ftw.).
sthEn, can you paste some info from the thread here? After translating it off course.
"3 files I've downloaded, to be sure the file is uploaded to the excellent eggs today"
There should be some mirrors soon thanks to one of the xda.cn people
Basically, nobody've tested it yet - too soon i guess.
Google translation from the above site:
HTC HD2 takes all three large-scale system to run successfully WP7
Windows Mobilephone the king of the group, has once again implemented a perfect trial run of WP7,HTC HD2 (parameters), the system has successfully transplanted Android 2.2 onto HD2, and now once again is trying to run WP7 for real, HD2 an emperor once again, becomes a focus of attention.
HTC HD2 performance of mobile phone configuration is in full compliance with the requirements of WP7, the screen has a 4.3 inch capacitive touch screen, built-in 1GHz processor and 500 million pixel camera. From the already listed HTC HD7 (parameters)of view, HD2 processor and the same type HD7, HD2's only drawback is its key design which does not meet the physical requirements of WP7, but it will not stop it from running WP7. Time is drawing near, let us work together to cheer!
Damn....I guess I wont get to sleep...This is freaking crazy....
I'm downloading those files right now Servers are sooooo slow.

DFT_Flashing WP7 to LEO #2 ?

A release was done by DFT off their website and on a few chinese sites. I don't know if it's a leak or not, but we should be getting the ROM reaaaaal soon on the forums. I personally already did my work and got the ROM and all documentation related to it. Will flash once I have another SD card.

Ya the news is true, its MAGLDR 1.12 with a stock WM 7 ROM by the invisible DFT..!!!

Yes! All things works but I can't find any reasons to use WP7. Definitely it is a big change from wm6.5, but the change is become more worst! Just played with it for ~30 minutes and flash back to Android! Of course, having wp7 on HD2 is great to show off, but not for daily use.

Switched back to Android. I like WP7 because it runs so smooth compared to Android. Camera software is so worse, i don't like it, but 720p recording works like a charm (don't know why this feature doesn't work on Android)
I find Green button assigned to the camera a little weird to use (is more handy to assign the phone software).
Anyways, it looks promising but i'll stick to Android until something good about WP7 will show up.
Many thanks to Cotulla and all the devs for making this happend!
camera is very ugly on WP7 :-D

[Q] When Will An Update Come Of WP7 On HTC HD2

im waiting like all you guys and wondering that when will the developers launch an upgrade of wp7 on our htc hd2 . The current version is good but the bugs are lowering its ratio of people keeping it for its daily use . It would be great if the developers could tell that when will they launch the upgrade .
+1 for that
please developers update the build and fix bug specially camera focus and green with flash
I guess no update till MS do their update ,maybe due to the fact that not alot of demand compare to Android.Most bugs are WP7 related not HD2.
yes the green colour in camera is so bad . Any idea that when will MS launch the official wp7 for htc hd2 ?

............lol.
Dude there isnt going to be an update from M$ for teh HD2. We are going to have to wait for the HD7 update to be released before it can be ported to HD2. The update however will close the ability to unlock and use homebrew so people are going to have to decide what they want to do, install early or wait for new unlock hack.
okay well then have to wait for htc hd7 update . when is that expected ? how can i fix the camera issuse ?
Hmm not sure what you mean by green photos have attached a pic I took the other day with the HD2, running WP7, very clear, am very happy with the photo's so far...
Hopefully any future ROMs released for use with the HD2 will have our device listed as a HD7 so registry editing won't be needed, we will have to see what happens!
Mr Thuduk im impressed by the picture quality of what you attached . But mine pictures at low light/night that i have taken come with a green tint in it

When you say developers are you referring to M$ or XDA etc?
im refering to MS and Xda both , but i feel more dependent on xda developers as they have proved to be best everytime .
I think he means when will we see an update for the HD2 that sorts out the HD2-specific problems (touchscreen, camera, etc) rather than the update coming from Microsoft for the official OS.
I'd like to think DFT are working on the issues, and aren't just leaving it as-is.

If im not mistaken the original OP in the chinese forums has stated that there is only one rule if we are going to use the ROM >Not asking for updates...And ...yet you all are discussing...This is the reason why i have quit the PSP developing world shortly after i released my first work back in the PHAT days.Everybody acts like DEVS are bound to post a new version ....no they do have a life,in most cases even better than yours and still they find the time to use their hobies to create something for the consumer base...My point being that if your peace of mind is fully working you are going to put up with the bugs,which i dont think are this big of a deal and shut it...
PS- The shear tought that my device is a combination of 3 nearly bug free Operational systems that alow me to use it for 3 years non stop plus some more to come instead of some crapy feature phone wich breaks when it touches the floor brings chills up my spine

[Q] Urgent --- Stable + Fast Android , is that possible ?

Hi guys,
I have to install Android on a customer's blackstone..
I want to install him a Stable (everything working : Wifi, Camera, GPS, GSM network, speaker, ..), and almost fast ROM under Android 2.2 or 2.3
Tried every available ROM. Some are not working for me, some are unstable (Froyo X Camera : I can't get the camera working / FRX06 : I can't get wifi working : many errors / Blazn won't boot / .. ).
I saw there are many modules and zImage available, and other files..
Could someone send me, please, a full packaging of a completely working ROM ?
Or just explain me/ Tell me how to install a working order rom ?
Thank you VERY much !
Read other threads / search forums
I searched for 3 days.. Just nothing stable
I found that some people were using Froyo X Camera with camera app working, but I'm unable to do it, even following the tutorial.. They don't explain more..
Wait for Nand or buy a 2G-no class µSD card as many issues are caused by µSD cards.
Any way, any stable Android you could find 'd not last more than 12h so I'wd'nt propose that to a customer...
Hi dear compatriot
I have to bring his phone back tomorrow, then I have to do a rapid choice..
I succeed with FroyoXRed, seems faster & more stable with some files I found randomly on the web (rootfs, ..) , now with Camera..
But if somebody has a "fast/stable" complete android ROM, please upload it

As I have now an Android device, any XDAndroid related files have been trashed and I'm waiting patiently for NAND.
Can't help you no more than givin you Tiad8 and Rootfs
Just my opinion after much persuasion HTC Android for the adoption of its system
Neither the assembly does not work well, it's only for playing and testing. The problem is battery malfunction components (cam, bt, usb,...), restarts, etc.
Perhaps NAND see how it will be a solution orig Android.
Good luck and patience during installation, I have not yet surrendered.
sorry my english
The problem is: there is yet no android ROM. It will come soon, check tiad8's site as jeanfrederic said. He is working on it.
i have used GBX0A for two weeks,or so...and i had no problems with it,everything worked fine,even 2D and 3D...and i had not even one SOD (sleep of death)
you can find it @ xdandroid.com in their repository

Simply explain that Blackstone is NOT Android specced phone, and that maybe even TIANDROID (Tiad8's NAND Android) will not bring it to full stability/speed/usability.

Tell the customer his a .... (you can decide) the Touch HD / Blackstone is a Windows Mobile Device ! Android wont run, Well to a point, but it not stable enough to be used as a day to day system, As many features dont work, Like
Camera, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth,
If your " Customer " wants Android tell him to either get the HD2 / Leo or a dedicated Android Phone,
The List
- HTC
- Samsung
- Motorola
- ZTL / ZTE ?
- Orange
Is Endluss......

Why are you sending people AWAY from xda-devs? XDAndroid is hands down the best Android build(s). tiad8 got banned from xda-devs for a good reason! Don't direct people to his site, shame on you!
Edit - just read the OP in detail, what do you mean a 'customers phone'? I wouldn't install this on someone else's phone unless they are well aware that this is not stable or ready for primetime yet.
