Securebox or something similar for WP7 - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

I recently had some issues with someone reading my text messages on my HD2 running WP7, (yes I had a lock on it) Since then I've reverted back to WinMo 6.5 just for the Securebox functionality. Is there any .xap similar to that of Securebox that I could use on WP7 because I can't take using WinMo 6.5 anymore after using my HD2 for WP7 for so long.

WM 6.5 Without HTC skinning

Are there any ROMS out there that are running WM 6.5 without any manila additions? I installed NRGz's latest titanium ROM in the hopes that it would meet the criteria above but it wasn't the case. While HTC home and all that jazz was not available, I had some manila like features specifically on pop-notification windows, i.e. email, sms and meeting reminder notifications.
Anyone know of a clean ROM without all the HTC enhancements?

Win Mo 6.5 keyboard (SIP)

Hi guys, this is my first post her on xda-developers, so go easy
I am developing for HTC HD2 windows mobile 6.5 phone, all is going well execpt the fact phone seems to have a different SIP (keyboard) than the default windows one. The HTC one takes up more screen in my application so I would like to get the windows one back. I have tried changing themes, etc but I cant get rid of the HTC one.
Any ideas ?
Thanks.
i tried a lot to make it possible to use the keyboard from wm6. there are some fragments in the reg. but it was not possible for me to activate it.
Hmm, this seems strange as I have an application on my HD2 which is used to configure my BT printer and it has exactly the same keyboard as WM6 so it must be possible.

[POLL] WinMo vs Android

What do people prefer as their main phone, android or winmo with a cooked rom?
I will probably try out the new offering from Cotulla but I've been using Dutty's ROM's for ages and am wondering whether switching permanently offers any real advantages.
Cheers
EDIT: sorry guys about mixing up SD and RAM in the poll, but if you prefer you can make a note below!
I used winmo with a cooked rom. but I'd like to try android on SD card​
You missed out "Android SD"
Android FTW
Winmo was nice coming from iPhone but no matter what cooked ROMS I'd try, it would still require a weekly Soft Reset and typing was a nightmare.
Have since flashed the DFT Android Rom using Magldr and will never go back. IMO you have nothing to lose and all to gain flashing or using an SD Card Android Build, besides if you miss Winmo you can always go back.

Using the stock ROM with CHT, BSBTweaks, BatClock and some others.
I've had an Android phone before and have also used Android on the HD2.
well before the powers that be shut this down as they do with anything they dont feel we simple folk can talk about, heres what i think
Firstly i cant vote, Like most people i either am at work or not, if im in work then i will use WM 6.5.3, its simply the best OS for my work, it does everything i need and more, it looks great and runs fast. If im not at work i use Android off the SD card, its fun and funky what it lacks in a business sense it makes up for on a social level.
Anyway i cant vote on your poll as you dont have the right option an you seem to have got a tad confused on what options are available to android too.
NAND (ie where WM is installed just now) and SD are the main runners, there is a project that lets you run some of the core OS files from RAM too.
Frankly though, i have absolutely no problems with the device running of SD, if it could run faster from NAND or RAM then the limiting factor would be myself but i cant move my fingers any quicker so what all the fuss with moving off SD is about i dont know.
Anyhow, i never thought id find the perfect phone that does everything but with android on SD and WM on NAND ive got it,
easy upgrades for android with no loss of data, upgrade WM and ROM with no loss of android, all my WM apps installed to SD as well so if worst came to worst all i need to do is make regular copies of my SD card and im sorted no hassle and all my needs forfilled
well i prefer windows by a long shot BUT i really did like typing with the android keyboard vs the windows one. the android one works very very well in my opinion.
I like both OS!!

Same here, i do u use both! WM faster and less battery consumption, android (SD) more apps and better usability in many things!!
A question to ask..... i want to upgrade my stock rom and radio (TMOUS, rom 2.10, radio 2.08 to rom 3.14, radio 2.15), do i have to reformat the sdcard, putting in mind losing all installed wm apps and established android with its apps and everything??????? or will everything work fine without formatting??!!
Plz help and thanx in advance!!
I've been using an old KWBR rom for half a year now. It needs a soft reset every now and then, but besides that, it's been stable and great.
I've tried a couple Android builds on SD. They were also great, especially the kb and stability.
Everytime I came back to WinMO tho I found things to appreciate about it. I think HTC did a great job with Sense. The only problem I have is the SMS lag, but I can live with it.
The camera is great, album gallery, music gallery, everything. I think I'll probably stick to WinMO until it's time to buy a new phone.
Android NAND all the way!
I use both, but NAND from Today...
I was more than happy with a Winmo custom rom, I had no reset or freezes, but having tried Android there is no going back.
Not too sure about nand for UK HD2's, I keep running out of memory.
Still trying different builds and it's early days yet.
It reminds me of the Touch diamond trying to run Winmo 6.5, did it in the end without too much trouble.
junst find out that there are no good replacement for Active Sync to have all my Outlook from the laptop on the cell phone on Android or Symbian 3 (N8). So, after a quick love with Sony X10, Moto X720 and Nokia N8 (all great cameras but N8 is unbeliavable good) got back to my trusty HD2.
Definitely... android much better...

Wm is much better than android, when it comes to business. With Android you cant edit documents, browser takes more clicks to navigate, Hotmail email account does not sync all folders ( only inbox folder synced ).
Only advantage of Android is Flash support, other than that not very usable.
But it's fun, anyway people who need to play games or check how fast their phone is, Android id the choice. For anything else - WM .
BTW, I had android Drkstone installed on cd for a week or so, often switched between WM and android, and anytime I did so, my initial thought was, what the hell I put this android on my cd card for?
Finally removed android, because found it not very usable for business. If WP7 port becomes available for HD2 I may consider leaving WM 6.5. But for now it is still the best mobile OS.
I used Dutty's rom and android on SD card.I have test NandDroid,but switch back to use Winmo with SDdroid.

Nope you dont need to reformat your SD, pull it out if you have any doubt, just really realy make sure you read the threads before updating, 9 times out of 10 it will work fine but if you read through it all first an it goes tits up, it will save you some flapping time if you know what to do!
i have not tried the NAND version.i am sure its good.i have been using daily mdj revolution hd sd version.and very happy with it.and gives a choice of using winmo time to time.work colleague of mine has wp7 on the contract.and he was showing of the phone at the work place.and told me that my phone was out of date.so i quickly change to winmo then to android.after that i couldnt get my phone back all day so definitely sd version for me.it gives me more power over the WP7 and HTC DESIRE HD or any other android phones.dual boot capability is very cool.
Tested nand Android, didn't really see any real advantages vs SD (well maybe a bit less power consumption), instead - for now some issues, regarding space, have to mess with apps installing in main memory, so moved back to good old WM 6.5 kwbr. Besides [RAM] Android is much smoother. Also I really like the WM sense.

SMS received when phone off -> Winmo not Android

Hi.
I've noticed that when my phone is off, any messages received during off time will go to the winmo and not android. just discovered about 30messages i never read that were sitting in the winmo platform.
does anyone have the same problem? or any solutions?
I was running chuckyrom for Winmo and hyperdroid 1.7 for android
I just changed over to JNF Android Starter Xtreme (winmo) and darkstone SuperRAM FroYo v1.5 (android)
thanks
It only happens because you start Windows before Android.
Either flash a NAND Android ROM or try switching Windows into airplane mode so it never has chance to pick up the messages.

works fine now, tested it out =)

[Q] WP7 Apps on X2?

OK, I know that there are lots of statements about WinMo 6.5 Apps not working on WP7 phones, but what about the reverse ...
Will a WP7 App work on a Windows Mobile 6.5.3 device? And if not, can it have an emulator to run them?
It looks like the new applications are beginning to be developed for WP7, and eventually, there won't be development for 6.5.3 devices ... so that is why I am asking ...
Hello.
Its not possible. WM6.5.x and WP7 have nothing in common. they are totaly different OSs even the main core of the OS is not the same anymore. like a PC with windows 7 and another one with MacOS.
cant run a WP7 apps on WM65x and also there will not be an emulator to have the wp7 apps on wm6.5.x. only a nut would have it made couse WM65x development is officialy dead. shure there are developers on XDA who still wiggle with WM65x and im very fond of that since WM65x is still my favourite OS (i got bored of froyo on my HD2) but even that will stop totaly in a year or two i guess.
there maybe will be an emulator for wm65x apps to be able run on wp7 but deffinitly not he other way around.
in like half a year the first wp7 phones will not cost that much any more and if you realy want the wp7 apps you better start thinking of getting a wp7 phone then.
