I'm just curious to know whether people have run WOW on the shift yet? I understand that it'd be small... and not very high res. But my question is whether it'd be playable. I read a review for it, and it was mentioned, although to no detail whatsoever.
Another question is, how much of a difference is there in speed between xp, vista, and win7 on the shift?
I'm picking one up this week (to go along with my Touch HD) because I need a different kind of gadgetting experience (more stuff to do).
Thanks to any and all who give me feedback on these questions.

You just remind me I needed update my thread about benchmarks.. anyway..

Cool.
Neat little benchmark you did there. I'm still curious to know how WOW runs, however. And I'd like a real performance difference test between the OS'.
Again, thanks for your reply.

WOW is playable but choppy. When theres a lot of movement going on it really gets choppy. Whenever I point the camera angle down where Im looking at the ground, movement gets a little better. If you plan on doing raids, it's not playable. Quests can be played with the help of tomtom, questhelper and hotkeys. But if you happen to live in the auction house, you can check up on your auctions 24~7.
Hope this helps... I haven't played WOW in 2 months since I got my shift. =P
Thanks!
I went through the painful process of copying wow from my computer to my shift. I played it for a few minutes, but I was unable to type /g to talk to my guild mates, as there's no / key. Any idea how to do that? The 7 key looks to alternately be the / key, but no button combination was able to make it come out.
Grrr.
I'm going to try playing again when I've got win 7 on there, perhaps I'll get a few more frames per second... We'll see.
Thanks for the reply and info, by the way.
Caid.
No go...
I got win 7 all loaded up and attempted to run wow a few times, but each time I got a nasty bsod. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is, but It's a bit disheartening. I was really looking forward to running win7 on the shift, but playing wow on it is more important to me, so I guess it's back to XP for me (as opposed to vista, only for speed.)
Caid.

Isn't there a downloadable XP compatibility mode you can install on Windows 7?
Try running WoW through that.
yeah, I tried that too and the bsod still pops up. There's something really wrong with it. I don't know what my next means of approach should be...
Caid.
444
whats the error message in bsod?
maybe gpu related? did you try to changhe graphic drivers?
Got it.
You know, most of the answers to my problems come to me when I'm not working on the problems themselves.
I reinstalled vista on my shift, and played wow again. While I was playing, I thought a lot about the crashes, there was no message from it, as to why it was crashing. Just a plain old BSOD with a screen dump message.
But it occurred to me that the tutorial here said not to bother installing the sound drivers from HTC for vista, as the sound drivers work just fine from win7. Well, they work fine in win7, but not in WOW it seems. This time I reinstalled win7, and used every driver from HTC (including the sound driver), it works
So, to summarize, the sound drivers from the win7 install seem to crash WOW, probably a direct x sound issue, which is yet to be worked out.
Anyone who wants to use win7, would probably be best to use the original sound drivers from HTC as this problem could be quite confusing, especially when sound seems to work in most other areas. It's difficult to tell just how many other programs might crash on account of the driver issues I experienced, but who would know it's the sound driver with no message from Windows, and the fact that they work in the OS itself.
So, happy playing to anyone else who benefits from this knowledge as well.

hello to all, I just wanna start this thread to ask for help on some issues I've com across and also to say that I am not very satisfied with the results I'm getting from my device.
first off, I have been an iphone fanboy for tha past 2-3 years, I admit it, I'm not ashamed, the iphone was great, it did everything i wanted, specially music wise, it was perfect, but it got old really fast and after a while there was nothing more i could mod.
recently I changed to a t-mobile HD2, i was impressed at the beginning, I mean as far as hardware goes, it completely blows the iphone, but...I started reading and flashing WMroms, and i couldn't find something that i liked, windoes was wayyy to complicated for averyday use, the remote on the headphones only worked with the sense music player, the eyecandy was not par to iphone or android, etc...that and other issues made me change to android.
now here is where i need help, i LOVE android, it is beautiful and more useful and powerful than the iphone, but it has so many issues i cant even start.
i flashed this android nand yesterday [Feb 02][DL DesireZ v3.4][DL Data2SD/Ext4 v2.7][Nand/SD/MAGLAR] and found all these problems.
no remote support for headset
volume rockers don't work when phone is locked and music is playing
can't find equalizer on music app
the android store works but doesnt install the apps
and the auto rotate really sux
the funny thing is that the creator of this rom says that everything is working
can anyone lead me to an android nand that really works perfectly or are these hardware issues, any help will surely be appreciated, if the thread is in the wrong place please move it.
thnx !!!!
These are not hardware issues.
The headset may be proprietary to sense so may not work else where.
I don't think the stock music app has an equalizer but you can try many different music player apps. Winamp is a good one.
Not sure what the problem may be here on the market.
Also not sure on auto rotate.
Flash other roms, there are tons and tons of good roms. The HD2 has tremendous android support, if one doesn't fit your tastes, try another.
OK, First off. You're the only one facing these problems, because I've used that Rom for a few hours and everything worked (except the volume while locked)
Since you're an iPhone previous user, you may love Windows Phone 7 .
Windows Phone 7 and iOS have a lot in common. So head over here and flash it . (Click here for more ROM's)
And use it, remember that the Live services are not working, but hey If you like it I will provide you with an activation code .
If you didn't, I suggest you try MDJ's gingerbread .. they are great ..
We are sorry for the inconvenience you may have faced, have fun

thank you for your reply, its great to know im not the only one with these issues. I already did a lot of reserch on Windows Phone 7 and definitely its not my cup of tea, i love personalizing my phone and windows phone 7 would make me feel like a child with my hands tied. I will definetly stick to android and try out your suggestion. thnx !!
try this build: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777
should try something that's most discussed and/or used...i am not saying the one you re using is no good, b/c i never tried that one before. but definitely try MDJ's, it works for me in the past month for everyday uses.
Hi Guys,
Since putting Andriod on my mini, it seems when im using it... it works happily, but as soon as lock it. 5minutes later, it will reboot itself. And it will continue to do this every 5mins or so, unless I use it.
Any ideas whats happening? Also great work in getting Android on the Mini.
thanks,
John
Hi!
I had the same problem with Android 2.1. But the phone didn't reboot with Froyo (2.2) from Schlund. You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11376905&postcount=664
Does this also have the WiFi fix by robin?
And thanks for letting me know.
Ah, okay, you also want to have wifi. Unfortunately the wifi fix does not work yet in Schlunds image. I think the a few people are working on this, as the problem is also mentioned in the developers forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983735. Until the problem is solved you have to stick to Android 2.1 from Cotulla.
Ok, thank you for letting me know. I will watch that other post. Again, many thanks. Least I know this isn't just something on my system.

Welcome!
Android is possible on HTC Hd mini, but a lot of things do not work yet. Installation hints and download mirrors are given in thsi thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952996
Please consider that it's still work in progress! Do not annoy the developers with questions about things which do not work. They are aware of this. However you can play around with android. Enjoy it!
Another one ...
Hi guys!
Here's another experience with HD mini android - with lock into black: I have quite the same issue with 2.2 Froyo (and possibly happened with 2.1 also). I start android, boots it within 1-2 minutes from Kingston 4 GB, no big problems, using it for 1-2 hours, playing, etc. But when I lock it and leave it ... things turns nasty sometimes. I can not wake it up again using the Pwr button as it's meant to be, the device does not respond anymore. I have to take out the battery to restart it again.
That's it. I hope these reported cases are helping the developers.

I'll Drop It Over In The Dexter Mod Thread For Yah
Thanks,
I tested this quickly on folio100 with Xoom as base for it, and primarily only fixed the "libc" (tech stuff i know) issue i had..
I got to the main screen where it asked for "language" and "start", but no touch screen worked on folio...so it was stuck :-(
I will now move on and try the same on a7, later on...
i post more, when i got news..
Can't wait to hear the news
hmmm...... initially, this looks good!
I got touchscreen functions on A7
but when it tries to run SetupWizard it crashes atm...
i keep you updated...
Awesome That would be the coolest ever

Dexter, If you get this going I will have your babies
i Got the new HC acc. drivers running on Folio and A7 ...
A7 though got too small a screen for the density, and some icons seeems to go outside the picture and keyboard is totally messed up ..
anyways it works now with touch(single) and connecting a keyboard i can type a wifi password and connect.. now i need to fix the browser as it crashes on a7, it did not do that on folio100 (maybe another screen res issue)
who thought A7 would be running Android 3.0 (anyways i a really sensor less shape for now)
Sounds like some good progress
i will post the first image tonight (do note, flashing takes forever 350MB flashimage, 3x normal),
which is probably around noon US time
i cannot be used for a whole lot , but pretty much the same as other releases out for harmony boards, and with hw acc. it actually plays well.
Well I fractured my collar bone, I have all day n night to wait n play
let me get sdcard working too, and maybe browser as well..
the complete package seems to be missing "Market" as well, so if you cant surf, and you can download apps.. its getting less fun to play with becides a 5min view.
Like I sed I'll. Be around for about 3 months doing nothing, if you need to flash anything let me know
i can't even explain how excited i am for this.
thanks x1,000,000 to everyone working on this!
i have decided to delay the release, until a keyboard solution is found.. its pretty much useless as tablet without a keyboard attached to it, and since only wifi works, no BT solutions here...
imagine, everytime something needs typed, you need to attach a keyboard.
and the stock browser is simply bad , not written for this hw acc driver, so its all blank on pages.. so it needs some firefox replacement so you can surf.
very unhappy porter, so far so im not gonna make it public until its at least more useful.
and last, menu bar is still "untouchable", which annoys me too, i did not see if the other ports have the same issues, but since it exist on a7 and folio100 i assume its a general problem.. at least i found the hack to fix touchscreen values, so i can port the xoom edition if i want, but most seems pretty the same "reference" install.
Can't wait for this. This is sweet
just a quick update..
I have struggled with the A7 to get touch + softtouch working correctly.
but its good now..
so im trying to see if i can get the release ready for tonight..
Bluetooth will probably not get fixed, as A7 has a strange implementation, but sensors and wifi works fine.
NOTE: if i DID NOT have the kernel, i could not have made the changes to fix it!!!
Never used bluetooth on my a7 anyways and if thats the proce of honeycomb so be it.
Ill Be on Stand By For This
Its a shame you can't be notified by text message or email lol.

I'm tinkering with my Portable as well . I currently have Linage OS on it and am able to install NVIDIA Games on it . Geforce Now will not stream however and I get an "error code 11". I also was not able to download Xcloud game streaming .
Let me ask you about your portable . If you are on stock firmware ( Lollipop) , do you randomly lose volume -like if the headphones where plugged in ? This happens on mine . If I'm on Kit Kat it's fine but I can't use Geforce Now or anything .
I've been racking my brain over this for awhile - there is still some life in this device and would like to resolve this issue.
I need to get a stock OTA zip currently I can't find it in any of my archives I've also been pretty busy lately as for any issues pertaining to the stock OTA I can't take a look until later on I will be setting up a build environment to see if I can build stock again from source (not sure how likely it will be) I have been hearing a lot of issues with stock OTA now I am honestly not sure if that is due to issues with it or if some of these devices aren't aging well
Also any of you looking to reach me with any questions I don't check XDA much so here's a telegram link to the chat pinned to first post

lol - This device !! I've decided I'm not giving up yet ! I've tried stock L ( 103, 106, 110 ) All have this weird sound issue where the speakers will either make heart attack inducing high pitches ( capacitor noises ? ) or the volume will force itself into "silent mode" . You can restart the portable and the sound will come back , calm down ect. This is really bothering me though because game streaming is still really good on this device . Also when on official Kit Kat or Linage OS none of these sound problems occur. I've even tried rooting it and basically removing all Google apps possible and the sound issue still happens .
Currently I have the portable rooted with Magisk on Linage OS 6.1 ( the last nightly build) I've tried hiding the NVIDIA apps , Sony PS4 Remote Play and have had "no luck ". Geforce Now will install perfectly start to load the game , then right before it starts there is a error code 11 that pops up .
Something Google did in the lollipop update to the portable messed up the speakers . ( I thought it might be the "memory leak issue" - but the last update OFW was 5.1 not 5.0
Haaaalllppp !!!

Hey, question to anyone who can answer - I just got my hands on a couple of Shield Portable 2 prototypes. They seem a bit less complete than the famous one that showed up at a pawn shop a couple of years ago, but one of them turns on and can connect to the internet. I want to see if I can get it up and running - it's still quite buggy, will crash if any videos are opened and obviously doesn't have any google services involved - but I just want to do what I can to make it as usable as possible. . I'm a complete noob when it comes to all this, just someone who was a big fan of the original portable and wanted to try and get this prototype to run some games. If anyone can help me out, or point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

I'm wondering if you could dump the system info , if someone could make a custom rom that could be flashed ?
I'm interested in anything that people manage with streaming.
I got lineage android 6.1 installed on it yesterday and managed to get the xbox game streaming app installed via the apk (the latest one boots then crashes, but the one before loads), however it still requires a bluetooth controller to connect, wish we could get the integrated controller to work with this and would make it so perfect for streaming xbox remotely.
If anyone is wondering yes I am still working on the device as we all know this year has been a real doozy for us all also I am moving across the US this coming week so please just work with all the devs here and we shall see what happens

Awesome glad to hear it. Just revived mine.
I am working on gathering all Shield portable files and putting them up on our website AFH. Let me know when you have something ready and I will make sure it gets put on every server possible and doesn't get deleted.
Here is what I have gathered so far

Oddly enough guys I've been having issues pulling the manifest from RR I've told them about the issue we'll see if it gets fixed it looks like I am not having any issues pulling aosp manifest keep in mind I am not saying that I will have a aosp rom out because I am unsure if that will even work but we will see what happens
Update: no issues with AOSP now I'm just waiting for lineage to finish again no promises of a rom guys I know we've been having issues since 7.x android quite frankly I'd be surprised myself if lineage 17.1 will even work
Also on some personal notes this is 100% a back burner project as it looks as tho I'll be having to move again as I haven't been able to find work where I am currently at I know that the whole covid-19 situation has made it hard on everyone especially here in the US among other things in the country right now but I am still hopeful things will turn around and work out and hopefully I can get some kind of build out even if it's not great
