Hello folks,
I have searched all over the net but found nothing about if the HD will support multitouch with Windows Mobile 7 OS installed. So what do you think, does someone knows anything ?

No as the HD doesn't have a capacitive screen like the HD2

Isn't this issue created by the software ?

LOL, ok, but..... a capacitance screen (mulit-touch) enables WM7 to do extraordinary things. If we expect this OS to be special, then one has to understand the drawbacks are the lesser of the 2 evils.
the Blackstone has no multitouch hardware. Simple as that.
WM7 is software that supports multitouch if available, that's one of the reasons that the HD2 (Leo) will get an update from WM6.5 to WM7 as one of the only HTC's currently available.
We always knew this day would come, some guys at xda.cn has managed to get WP7 up and running on a HTC HD2. The HD2 which was the only capacitive screen Windows Mobile device was expected to get an unofficial port of WP7. This does not look like the release build of Windows Phone 7 ( Xbox Live tile has a green background in the release build of WP7 ) . In the video you can see that the OS runs quite smoothly on the HD2, and they shows the various hubs like picture and games. The hardware keys have been mapped to mimic the Home and Back buttons, Search was not shown in the video, doesn’t necessarily mean its not there. They also demo the multi-touch pinch to zoom in the picture hub.
It looks nice and all and is a nice hacking feat but do you honestly want to run WP7 on the HD2 or get one of the new WP7 device ?
look the video at pocketnow:

This is indeed a great day to be an HD2 owner.
For the obvious question: when can I get my hands on it?
(Answer does probably have something to do with patience )
I saw that just a bit ago on twitter. Looks very promising. I wouldn't mind being able to boot wp7 just for the netflix streaming!
so excited about it ....

Its because Windows phone 7 needs a licence. You cannot access a few bits (one of them is marketplace ) without activating the OS
Sent from my HTC HD2 MIUI using XDA App

I think that may be correct. The ROM's must be big on those devices as they are meant to have more than 512 NAND storage. Hopefully they implement what HTC did in some and use the microSD as extra storage on them

i don't know, but energy's new extreme ROM has the same problem. Might have to do with the size of the port. My ROM is 400mb and that confuses the phone and it said on boot I only was using 56mb of storage.
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

huh? WP7 was only released in Oct, so how can you say Feb/March is late?
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.

There is a noticable fade green tint to the picture. All HD2's running WP7 have this issue!

I see now things with their real proportion!!
yeah excatly i mean that when will an update come which is crystal clear and without issuses . hope DFT does some miracle soon .
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

Found this in the real WP7 forums. To me this makes copy and paste secondary.
Looks like the there are good things to come with the mango update. Just have to wait for the release now and then hope that the devs get it running on our HD2s
Yeah, the multitasking looks great.... similar to how webOS did it. I saw about this a couple days ago. Can't wait til it's working on our HD2s.

I haven't heard anything about this... where did you hear that. I don't think MS will waste their time worrying about the small percentage of HD2 users using wp7.

no itisn't , it s blocking ''chevron.exe'' but we can edit the rom to look like hd7 before inistalling it on our hd2 so we won't chevron.exe anymore
IE9 uses hardware acceleration for it to run smooth HTML5. Do our HD2's even have that hardware?
aye, we do have quite a good 3D chip built in, Wm6 would have been amazing if it could have been used! drivers being the issue.
But anyway assuming it will even install it will be just fine as it uses the same GPU as the HD7

In terms of hardware the HD2 is equal or superior (more RAM than the Optimus 7 and Omnia 7) to any current WP7 native device. Only drawback is the lack of 4 point multitouch. Everything else is 1:1.
Did anybody manage to have Tango working on LG Optimus 7 ?
It works on my HTC Titan, and a friend of mine's iPhone 4 ...
But we can't have it working on Optimus 7 with Mango 7740 ...
Thanks in advance ...

Hi,
Yes, LG Optimus 7 with Tango apps installed from Marketplace from time when Tango was first time released in version 1.0 , week or two ago updated from Marketplace to version 1.1.
My two colleague has HTC Desire HD and Samsung Galaxy II, Tango installed on both and it works quite well, call quality it is not as let say Skype but it works, video also works. Only what is missing in app is information who is online and whose not. I do not prefer push notification on WP since you cannot set it up ringing tone for toast notification.
Cheers

Hi. It is important that working.
I do not remember but I think in time when I wanted to install apps I receive notification that I do not have build in FFC, but it working.
Also, I remember that version 1.1 when is published, was not for Optimus 7, that version is fix some bugs for other vendors.
Marketplace which I use is England, maybe that is also important. I do not know.
If I want video call I need to stand up in front of mirror, same it will be with Skype.
Cheers.
Hi JosipoGo,
Use this version of Tango from the Windows Phone Marketplace here: http://bit.ly/vVxXhE
