1. It´s "for" not "vor" ... tststs
2. Mango on Venue Pro? Are you sure?
chevronWP7 announced official solution with co-operation with Microsoft for something like 9-10usd (i red that somewhere on-line), but since then there is nothing new.... for the devices above 7.0.7008 even we don't know how it will function. so for now we the DVP users specially those that can't use the official market because the region they live in, must suffer in agony until some "HERO Hacker" free the DVP and unable us to use 100% of our device.
...love the design, but it would have been nicer if there was android on it. only dreams for now....
I like the design, too. But the problem is that the hardware is mostly crap. The screen don´t fit 100% on the keyboard anymore. And i have a GSM device - still not sure i will get Mango on it. I´m so happy i have the Evo 3D as main device
do you have news about chevron?

ok so I've been a winmo user since inception and have resisted the urge to go iphone
i held off for the HD2 but finally got it a few days ago. Its nice and smooth but where is the wow after a couple of hours use? wheres the cool new stuff ?
I thought lets try some video playback...thought BBC iPlayer
no i Player...so I trawl posts to find hacks and other programs to use. half an hour later ....then I'm thinking WTF...its a dam new phone and here I am having to f*%k around with it straight out the box
WTF is wrong with HTC....I mean surely they could have got off your lazy dumb arses and got some decent new fresh apps put on their premium device for launch by operators
Its not exactly that the BBC is a minow.
And what the hell is wrong with the operators taking ****ty product again from HTC. (Vodafone gave HTC a chance...sure Iphone is more profitable but I'm sure it didnt help with a crap release ROM...why put up with up when there is other products you can sell without the hassle). I'm not asking HTC to get it right with every phone but this is your premium device FFS
HTC need to employ people that live in the real world not Asia where if it dont work it dont matter
I for one will have no sympathy if HTC fail
Haha, why didnt you bu an iphone? BBC iplayer, muahahahahha.
I think you should buy iphone and get off this forum!
no idea why you're blaming HTC for iPlayer not working, BBC need to add support for the HD2 in order for it to work straight out of the box
This is the fix;
36. Get BBC iPlayer Mobile Website Working on HD2
The current Opera 9.7 version on the HD2 is not detected by the BBC iplayer website. Here is a modifcation to Opera preferences you can do to get it to work.
HLKM/Software/Opera/Prefs/User Prefs/Custom User-Agent
Change from HTC_HD2_T8585 Opera/9.7 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) to HTC_Touch_HD_T8282 Now go to http://bbc.co.uk/mobile/iplayer. Videos are opened in your Streaming App on your phone.
which is located in this thread.
You will need a Registry Editor which is also in the same thread.
Hope this helps
So because a device doesn't support iPlayer out of the box, it sucks ?
Nice logic.

do a search for myplayer. This is a nice little app that allows you to stream or download high quality Iplayer content to your phone for later viewing. App can also be found on HTCPedia.com under the apps section. It also supports ITV, CH4 etc etc

I can see, by the way this guy wrote, there was no one sentences with out ading street words.
Any way in the first place, before buying anything, he should read and get info of the haves and no haves of the current devise.
Be wiser he express him self in a better way, since this is just the beginning of many tweaks he will have to go in order to get the max of these phone.
And No i am sure he will no thank no body
Well I really didn't expect to be using this analogy again. This forum is weird!

Lets say HTC plan a new phone release....whos job is it to contact BBC with the device and get it compatible for release rom ?
It aint the BBC's job to predict every phone coming to the market ?
Its the phone manufacturers responsibility to work with content providers so that the phone manufacturers product is released with compatible software

apple = designed in california, made in china
HTC = designed in asia, made in asia
and it shows
Apple release 2 phones and sell it to the masses
HTC release 2 many phones and struggle for mass appeal
Dont get me wrong....I've never owned an apple product ...not even a ipod!
I'm no HTC hater either...just wish they would slow down...

It is the BBC's resposibility to add iPlayer support for new mobile devices NOT HTC's. I guarantee you that HTC DID contact the BBC to let them know about the HD2 way before it got released. However... there isnt much HTC can do to speed up the BBC process of adding support to iPlayer.

I would think its a combination of the two, providers and manufacturers working together... and please forgive my ignorance but is it really that hard to make iplayer compatible with all winmo devices?? why particular phones?

Resolution differences and different applications used for streaming content.... plus all the different variants of windows mobile itself.
I've tried the opera fix in the past, but the result is terrible. the video playback was so choppy, and then mostly green blurs etc. I can understand that if you're streaming 3G, but not if using your using wifi.

to me its HTC with insufficient resources...if they stopped making 3000 other phones maybe they would have just sat down and defined core software that was a must have for release ROM
then you just get the job done....anyone can see its the premium device competing with iphone so why wouldnt both HTC and BBC get it right
unless there is evidence to the contary, HTC decided it wasnt core for release...which is just poor when its their premium product
the phone had been about for a while being reveiwed before it was released, gave the bbc plenty of time to get an application for their system out, it isnt upto htc to release applications for sites
This is a bit of an odd question, but please bare with me here.
I'm writing my thesis for the uni about C#... with the recent release of VS2010, I thought it'd be great to focus on this IDE and the new features it offers and put those in the thesis as well. I ALSO had an idea to show that one can write apps for mobile devices using C# (duh, but all's fair in the academic world ); I own a HD2, so being able to whip out the phone and show the app working would be a great way to blow some academic minds (well, not really, but I think it'd be nice).
However... VS2010 doesn't support WMo 6.X, which is a serious bummer. There are some rumours that an SDK will be released, but if and when that will happen remains a mystery.
So this leaves me WMo7, which has already been ported to HD2. However, it seems it's not public just yet. And besides not being public, WMo7 will supposedly only allow apps to be installed through MS store... so I have no idea if it'll be possible for me to write an app for that OS and actually use it (it won't be commercial in any way and 100% useless for 99% of people, as it only serves as a live example for my thesis).
To summarize:
- Is is possible for a "basement-programmer" like myself to use WMo7 to show off my own apps without the use of the MS store?
- If so, where could I get my hands on WMo7 for HD2?
- If WMo7 is not available to us mortals, could someone tell me roughly when a public release will be available?
- Or perhaps the whole idea is pointless and I should just develop my app in VS2080 and show it off with the HD2 that I currently own? (It's will be a simple app that connects to some database online without being limited to MSSQL and does something with it, where "something" is yet unspecified)

assume currently it wont be available for the HD2, if it is then it wont be available until a few months after the release of wp7

AKAIK it hasnt, there is a rom available but it doesnt run on any current device since its a beta rom for an unreleased device.
there is a chance they may get it working on the HD2 or some other phone but its not available currently.

So... the whole thing about W7 having been ported to HD2 was just a rumour?
I am not sure where you heard that winmo had been ported too hd2? is a link available.
I have just checked Da_G's twitter account and he is still working on the port, he has developed several new tools too help him but is struggling to get some stuff to do with the JTAG controller.
there is a hd2 application which attempts to reimplement some of the functions you can see in the wp7 promo videos but this is not a port it is just an application that looks like wp7.

write your app under 2008 and for 6.5, there hasn't been any word from the source of that rumour for months. C# code is very portable between 2008 and 2010, so don't worry about that. With a little work (can be on the order of hours) you can upgrade your code to 2010 and 7.0 if it ever arrives for HD2.
uuum.. u can show windows phone 7 with a emulator on a pc.. and i think ms released the windows phone 7 tools to programm apps for it alerady..
http://developer.windowsphone.com/Default.aspx
dont know if its possible to just run the app without the market.. i hope it is, but really dont know >.<
and its impossible to port wp7 to the HD2 right now. yes, it already happened, but that version is very laggy and buggy, so its useless when u want to show it
What do you think?

Yes, this is a hard decision. But I truly love portrait KB. I can type with two hands or one depending on the situation. I don't need super wide keys.
I have had two BB Pearls in the past, and when I had them I thought the landscape KB was going to be awesome. I have had a G1 now for two years with it's landscape KB. I develop iPhone apps, among other things, so with it's virtual KB and the android KB (iPhone sucks without swype lol) I have logged many hours with all the KB types.
Some messages or responses are long, some medium, and some short. With a portrait Slide KB I can use whatever medium I want.
Wow, and the Dell is sexy as hell.
So HD7 has 4.3 inch screen and Dell has 4.1. I'm still leaning towards the Dell

You won't be able to without some sort of hacking, as the manufacturer-specific apps are part of the OEM "differentiation" that Microsoft is promoting.

I'm all for apps that look good but the HTC apps on WP7 don't really seem to serve much purpose at all. The animations take forever and there's lots more usable ways of implementing them.
May be for now htc hub is useless but later may be there is application added by htc that make differance
The Question is .. is all Hubs developed by companies can be easily move from one device to other company device
i liked the Dell device as well, but in a long run i will stick to the HD7 and for the first time in a long time i will be using a phone with out a physical keyboard.....
i will rather have a HTC device then any other as i like to try the goddies from XDA gods (chefs)...
and dell is not selling in Asia anyway... maybe as a second phone i will get the venue pro...
Having had an HD2 for a while and a Touch Pro before that, oh and a TyTn before that, I think HTC's software is just bloaty eye-candy at best.
The app store will cover everything you need anyway.
I like the weather app and the equalizer.. wouldn't mind having them on my Venue Pro.
The Dell Venue Pro would have been perfect (for me) if it had:
1) HTC Locations (/ maps)
2) HTCSense.com functionality
3) Flash (as per the HTC Desire HD)
All Windows Phones have HTCSense.com functionality built in... MyPhone
so, we won't be able to get it.
i'm sure there must be a way to unpack it from the rom and make a (how are the cab's called now?)...

I'd say it was moved from the Dev general forum because you asked about a specific device...
Maybe you could start a new thread in the Dev general (or Win7 Dev) asking about the possibility of extracting the Sense stuff and getting it onto other non-HTC WP7 devices?
yeah but what is the file structure like in comparison to venue pro? Is the application hw or sw based? and how do we recompile the container to install on our side?
we may need a jailbreak =/
I'm only guessing, but I'd say it's only software based and will work on pretty much any WP7 device if it can be pulled from an HTC one.

I read a tweet that said some of the HTC apps are native... No proof though.
so, is there a new thread, or not?, cuse we might make work of it (is that english??)
well,
was just thinking about it. is that possible ? i mean is g2 is capable of running win7 on it ? it would be a good test no ?
No source code = not likely.
Means bad news!?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
seems like an interesting idea. ive been asking about getting the win7phone keyboard onto the g2 but having the entire OS seems like a cool option to have.
if we had the source code could it be possible?
I ran xdandroid on my touch pro 2 via sd of course. Liked android so much I bought the G2. I know if I wanted WM7, I would just go buy it. Its cool and all to have dual os on your phone but it can be a pain sometimes. Not everything works on port and if it does, its not 100%.

The big difference there, though, is that Android has publicly-available source code. WM7 doesn't.

co-sign.. but im not sure on buying a WP7 device (they are nice tho).. reason is, i want a primary Android phone.

So you bought an android phone to use winmo 7...
I doubt it unless someone wants to spend a lot of free time reverse enginggering the whole OS. Plus it'll be buggy as ****, most drivers won't work, etc, etc.
It's like iOS, it's possible but it's close to impossible.

Self contradiction heh?
On a side note, how about Meego on an Android phone? Isn't that open-source? Any group working on porting that to any non-supported devices?
Before you ask me why I wan't Meego, the answer is: just for the heck of it
Pat123 said:

Close to impossible is still possible
This question seems to get asked for every phone and the answer is always the same. It is possible to flash [android/windows mobile 7/windows mobile 5/ios/meego] on an [android/windows mobile 7/windows mobile 5/ios/meego] phone. The thing necessary is someone or group of someones with the technical wherewithal and desire to do it. In most cases there is not enough benefit for such a group to form though.
So yes it is possible (though difficult) to create a ROM for <insert embedded OS of choice> to run on the G2 but it probably will not happen. And when you get a new device and wonder this question again refer to the answer above.
I was wondering if anyone else was interested in seeing Mango on this device, any devs working on in it ect? This is a curiosity question, not an expectation. I think it would be cool, but im wondering if it is even possible.

I have a really bad taste in my mouth over Windows Mobile devices. I owned a HTC Touch Diamond and a HTC dual Touch. Hardware was FANTASTIC, software SUCKED.
It might be not letting go of the past but i'm personally steering away from Windows mobile. In fact i had an Android port on my Dual Touch . That was the only way i could use it, with out wanting to kill someone when i was done with it.
He's not hating man. Mango its just a completely ugly. You want some kind of like mango for your android, download the w7 launcher off the market.
I wouldn't want it either.

I actually like the metro look. When Windows 8 comes out I want to try and find a way to get it to work on my Asus transformer. I would relish the idea of having devices that all run windows OS's again, esp since I'm a windows dev I could write apps myself if they don't exist. I'm too lazy to learn android atm.
