Well I am posting this thread to point out the issues which have been identified in the Mango update for the HD2. As of now (14/7/2011) Mango is still in its Beta stage so
- I presume that pointing out these things might get the devs looking into it (hopefully to make for a better release)
- I would also like to point them out particularly to save any of you the hassle / disappointment of going to Mango for any of the listed features with issues ... (listed below) ...
- I would also like to know of any potential solutions (I will post these in blue if solutions exist underneath each issue respectively) if there are any ... because I made a lot of research to find no viable replies ...
By all means it's a great OS and the multitasking etc are all cool but if it's at the expense of the following issues, I'm afraid I will have to go back to NODO or Android ..... I would like to see if any of you are encountering the same exact issues. If possible if there are any potential fixes let the community know.
Issue #1 - Speech to Text problem
When trying to text somebody I get the requester to say my message. The weird thing is, I always get the message "Cannot connect to bing right now ... please try again later....". Now I am not really sure why does speech to text have to access Bing in order to text the message ....Might be a web service or something .. but maybe it could be due to the tighter integration between the phone functionalities and bing that bing is trying to be accessed .... Maybe it analyzes your text to pop up any relevant results ... Say you're talking about Britney Spears and you get images etc ... retreived from Bing which could be conveniently attached to your message ....
Anyways fact is ... I got a 3g Connection and a data connection (with configured apn) ... I can access bing physically by pressing the second button on my HD2 ... but I still get that weird message when using Speech to Text .....Weird isn't it? Question is ... anyone else is xperienceing the same problem ? Can we disable the bing functionality via registry to at least use this otherwise nifty speech recognition on our phones to get our smses written? Has this got anything to do with the profile Region (being US or UK?) I recall that certain web services from M$ don't work when using certain regions instead of others might be the same issue?
ISSUE #2 - Chevron
Well obviously as you may have expected ... The blokes at M$ are hard at work to block sideloading of apps on our devices .... I tried Chevron with the usual .cer technique as we used to do for previous releases of WP7 on HD2 ... and surprise surprise ... It didn't work .... So you can ave goodbye to all your favourite goodies and apps which you used to install via Chevron unless we get this one fixed......
ISSUE #3 - The Marketplace
Using the Mobile data connection I am getting a weird error code when trying to access portions of the marketplace .... The apps which I had installed previously on all builds (up till nodo) ... Did not install themselves as is usually the case ... The phone remained empty ... Now it's either a Zune issue or .... it is related to Issue #4.....
Solution for ISSUES #2 and #3 - Using the Mango ROM by elfinlazz you get the apps to install from Marketplace just like they used to with NODO and other apps. When games were installed however using existing XAP's (previously tested to work on NODO and original WP7 rom), some of these XAPS did not work. The reason has yet to be determined However if you are in desparate need of trying out Mango with some of your old XAPS feel free to use this ROM
ISSUE #4 - Xbox Live .....
I am not an avid fan of this feature ... but it bothered me when I got a pop up on my screen saying that apparently ... the ID is screwed ... and that you cannot sync to XBOX live via mobile ... so wave goodbye to all games which make use of online updates via XBOX live to work ... There are some games which come to mind which do this ... including that 3d puzzle game ... which always checks for XBOX Live connectivity prior to playing ... (can't recall the name so don't ask...) ... I am not a fan of mobile games but this sux..... kind of....
ISSUE #5 - IM not working .....
I cannot speak about facebook because I did not have the time to try it out as yet ... however , after running into issue #4 ... when I tried to connect to IM ... which is one of the key benefits of using mango . . . I am getting a "can't connect to IM " message ... be it if I go and tap tne "me" live tile ... be it if i go into the "messaging" section ... The mobile is unable to connect .... Now i really longed for this one .... On the other hand the comment (next to your profile ... the message you share ...) gets updated .... weird ..
Am tinkering about with different profiles and different regional settings (localization etc) are related to this... I recall that I had problems when trying to sync Zune with the system using a US profile ... This might be related (some food for thought anyone?)
ISSUE #6 - GPU Performance
Seems like the older ROMS (especially NODO) perform better GPUwise from what I have seen so far.... Video playback is laggy .... and HTML5 hype is not as should be on the HD2's .... I don't really think that the HD2 is incapable of running Mango smoothly ... I just think that M$ is behind this .... I won't get into this but I guess that just because of this I would not keep Mango on the HD2 .... Nodo worked a charm .. the development model used by M$ for WP7 is in favour of a lightweight OS with good performance simply because the main thread focusses on running the current task at hand ... if anything Mango should be faster not slower than previous builds! There must be something wrong here ...
ISSUE #7 - Twitter not working
While Facebook / Windows Live and Gmail synchronizations all work fine. I still did not manage to get twitter working. If you try create a Twitter account (in a similar way to creating other accounts) you get a redirection message ... and a grayed out button .... This remains so indefinitely ... Would have been cool to have this working together with IM....
Configuration Used:
I am running HD2 (512) using the DFT release of Mango ... Radio 2.15 ... and MGLDR 1.13 [Thanks for pointing out type .....] and just for the RECORD ... my SD Card works fine , it stores/retreives all data well so don't point this one out because it's not to blame besides it worked perfectly on all previous WP7 roms I used....
Cheers all and thanks for reading .... your suggestions are appreciated ...

"I am running HD2 using the DFT release of Mango"
Thats why, I have none of those problems with This rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1157535
Just my personal experience.
Issue #1 That option is greyed out (in messaging) so it's not even possible for my to try it.
Issue #2 I have successfully side-loaded 3 apps. The HTC Flashlight, Htc Battery Tool and the Advanced Configuration Tool. Now they were not complete successes though. The Advnc Config Tl successfully deployed but the app wont wont open. I can only guess that it isn't compatible with Mango. I have not tried any other apps
Issue #3 I am not experiencing that problem. I did have to manually put in the APN settings, but after that it worked great.
Issue #4 On first flash i had that same problem but once i manually tried to sync windows live (after a few re boots) it worked fine as well. I also re flashed the same ROM a second time and i didn't get an error message that time.
I'm running elfinlazz's Green Mango with market.
Hope this input helps.

DFT Mango has exactly same problems as Mango with marketplace and sideloading. DFT mango by default just doesn't have marketplace and sideloading. All current releases of mango are from one source and have a lot of different bugs - just different people discovered different ones because of different working conditions. End of story.
PS i have personaly tried both of them and found same problems in both DFT and the other one.
I'm using elfinlazz' Green Mango, activated and I managed to sideload two games using Tom XAP Installer.
nice
its great i love it ...has only one thing ...battrey drain
but all rest working fine with me .

Have you tried a different sd card? Cause like I said, works for me. Battery drain is not as good as android but after the cam Corder trick it is very decent. Lasts 12 hrs with light/mod useage. Not great though.

My sd card is perfectly working with all NODO and pre NODO ROMs - Sandisk 16gb class 4. I use it for few months already.
Many of apps don't work at all and big problem with bluetooth - can't load phone book to car's hadsfree - crash(works perfectly on NODO). Crash also when on charge in car with Navigon runing and calling with handsfree(NODO and pre NODO perfect). Better to have fully functional phone then fancy not completely working with Mango.

Some zaps like advanced config, and I noticed a few others don't work. You are right it is a little buggy but I have been using mine now for 3 days and what does work is everything I need. I use it as a Phone, My Bluetooth Headset works.Oakly Razrwire, it dials out and I recieve calls.
I DL a **** load of apps off Market place with Angry Birds becomming my addiction. I sideloaded around 12 apps. After I registed it with Microsoft, it installed the apps that I had loaded from the Market place via usb.I have over 100 songs on the phone that I got off Zune. I have a 16gb Patriot class 4 sd card in it. GPS is spot on, Live syncs with calendar and reminders pop up. My pictures I take upload to skydive, I have 3 pop 1 imap and yahoo mail that all are working fine. Linkedin I can;t get to work. Not sure why I would want to use Linkedin anyway. also, my voice dialing works great, speach to text does not.
Not sure why you are having your problems.

I really hope you meant MAGLDR 1.13
unless you are from DFT and are willing to leak it here.
I have also testet Mango on my HD2, but had do deinstall it for these reasons:
- sometimes Incoming mail where not shown content, only header
- sometimes attachements has not been included in the incoming mails
- Font in Mails are very blurry -like Cleartype has not been activated
- IE: the font is very blurry - like Cleartype has not been activated
- Problem with Marketplace: dowloaded games sometimes are not shown in games -> deinstalling or reinstalling so not possible
But i´am looki forward for the mango release for our HD2! It will be a new experiance!
Microsoft is on the right way with WP7!

my friend is using that card and it has mango issues as well he went back to Android because he'd just bought that card and didn't feel like trying another one. It may work fine with nodo but not mango. Just a thought, I mean I guess it's possible. And a note on the video, I'm not seeing that but I have noticed in audio (music or video audio) that it's choppy. However if you plug in headphones it works great. Who knows why.

BIG bug problem
ever since mango was released i've been playing with it and all prior roms I have flashed every thing worked fine i'm sure the bugs still need to be worked out since the official release isn't till later in the month
Biggest problem is the battery drain... other than that you can read my signature why I am waiting.

Could you be kind enough to specify country of origin and the profile whether your live id is from within the same country of origin please?
So say for e.g. You live in the US and your Live ID states that you are from the US?
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

Works in beta 2 mango http://www.mobiletechworld.com/2011...edded-youtube-videos-and-fast-tabs-switching/ need this from beta 2.
Just a quick note about manually configuring APNs...
Go to this XDA page and download HTC's Connection Setup XAP. Side-load it (on elfinlazz's Mango) and run it.
It fixes data issues. It opens up all IM services. It makes Bing work (not the speech-to-text part but everything else). It allows you to properly use the integrated Facebook features.
As for battery issues: use software radio version 5.51T. I have found (both on NoDo and Mango) that it fixes battery life and connectivity issues.

Does this radio work on WWE mobiles? I am using a European version ....
As far as connection setup is concerned it's fairly simple to configure it in my country but will still give that program a go ... I had it sideloaded before ... Good to know that even in your situation Speech to Text is not working as well (at least I'm not alone experiencing this )
As for the rest will check and post back ...

Hello,
i downloaded the new version RUU_Hermes_2.05.261.1_6275_1.34.00.10_108_HTCRUS.
This is test only version. and official?
up!
When will a official release?
works great so far.
Significally faster than the original Russian TyTN ROM.
Any problems so far?
Dear all, who tried RUS AKU3.3 ROM!
Did you encountered any problems? Anything doesn't work? Or whatever else? I'm using Herm for business and basically prefer not to risk change one buggy ROM on another? I heard on wwe/swe versions that besides "it works faster" there were some new bugs?
It would be great if someone can share his new rus ROM experience summary to everyone here. Thanks in advance.

BlackBerry Connect does not work. All other things are fine so far since yesterday.
depends on what business you're in
more problems were solved than created for me, business use mainly.
1) no WPA2
2) frozen incoming call (muted) notification. The "incoming call" window just stayed there on top of everything else AFTER the other party hang up. Happened only once.
Some problems with the AKU
1. A2DP does not work propelly - it has drops
2. Dial-up networking does not exist anymore which is extrimly bed surprise as i am travel a lot and use one for laptop communication with office.
The rest is Ok so far
this ROM work faster in comparison RUS ROM 1.18.261.1?
Sharing my first experience on new AKU3 RUS ROM (comparison to Russian official ROM, dated summer 2006, never reflashed before)... (I used this instruction for flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085 and i didn't flashed GSM update).
1) It works faster. I never measured, but subjectively it's like 5-15%, and basically on my device it was not like a general speed increase, and rather like this: any delay if it occurs, seems to be smaller - for example I use several programs sitting in memory and I use SPB Diary today plugin, on I switched to its tabs for the first time I got a delay for a second. Now it's more like a half of a second. But it's not a 50% increase of cause - less. And on the other side - I noticed that sometimes delays increased: on startup I have to wait a bit longer for a security code window become active since it's drawn on the screen. As before I could type my pin right after, no I have to wait for a second or two.
2) It works stable for me. in general ok, no problems or complaint as a result of one days usage: SPB P+, SPB Diary, SPB Time, SPB Weather, PExcel, Outlook (Pop3, MS Exchange), SMS, Internet via GPRS, BT headset (but i don't use voicedial), USB ActiveSync- all work fine with no problems. What is o/s which I'm going to test soon: wifi, ICQ, Skype.
The only problem I faced - i don't know the reason, but I have a bug with time setting, when was coming through a first time reboot and extrom execution. I started device after flashing for the first time, was passing through customization and at the time I was setting my clock (I set it, selected timezone, pressed ok or "äàëåå") ExtRom execution started and I was no able to do anything else. Then it finished, my device rebooted and my time was 12 hours forward (e.g. 1PM instead of 1AM). And when I tried to correct this (correct time by 12 hours back) - all my meetings and events mooved and for ex. Birthday that was set to 01MAR was shown on 28FEB )). So I was confused by this. So I had to delete all PIM data, and reconnect it to my outlook once again making full synchro.
That's my experience so far. If you have any ideas on running a test program to measure productivity - you're welcome. We can do it.
Which .NET CF version does it have built-in?
sorry what not in English) может пробывал кто A2DP ? как ведет себя булутз стерео с новым АКУ 3.3 ? заикается?

Hello, BACIOTKA, nice to meet you at this forum too.
With ACU3.3 A2DP skipping issue is solved for me. No more skippings.
But there is a big sound distortion at high frequrency.
So the sound is still not good.
Hi! It`s still unclarified for me, do I HAVE to do all the steps written in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293085 thread? My device is HTC-branded and hasn`t been CID-unlocked and flashed (QTEK_A07, bootloader 1.04, ROM version 1.18.261.1). Can I just flash the update or it won`t work? Is it final ACU3.3 update for russian devices or just a beta/test release? Thanks!

Post #1 updated with new Rom.
thanks!
This worked perfectly with my Telstra HTC Touch dual (Neon) device.
For any other newbies like me, this is all I did-
Took my brand new Telstra Australia Touch Dual.
Installed the Neon Hard-spl here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377260&highlight=neon
Then just installed the rom in this thread. It works great, though i've lost my Office Mobile apps.
I had no sound at all on the first boot, but after reboot (and it does tell you to reboot again) everything was fine.
Thanks! And I look forward to trying your future releases.
woops one issue
An update on my install, I did actually end up having issues where as soon as a call was made or received all sound stopped working (which obviously makes calls a problem)
As per the original post, installing the updated Radio which took me from version .15 to .17 seems to have fixed this problem.
So are you saying that this ROM doesn't have
* video calling
* office apps
* or SOLITAIRE!?
Can they be installed afterwards or anything?
Cheers
jbng
Okay so I freaked a little when the camera stopped working and my guitar tuner wouldn't work, but it turned out I had to update the radio and that fixed both problems. It does seem to be smoother too.
Office apps are there, solitaire is there, but alas no video calling.
Can you get a third party app to do that, or will we have to re-flash the ROM if and when you add the 3G dialer?
I'm getting a bit sick of this hard reset rigmarole - although I am getting much more efficient at it!
Appreciate your work Seth - keep it up. BTW, the ROM update seems to have fixed my 'not waking up from standby' issues.
Cheers
jbng
You can use User Customization, works for me you only have to run it once after the hard reset and all you've configured will be setup. Maybe if Seth is really nice he will include it in his rom the next time so you don't have to run it manually.

The ROM is working great - no lockups at all since installing it.
I seem to have conflicting information about Bluetooth being affected by radio ROMs - what's your opinion? The reason I ask is that my bluetooth range is pretty shocking (it won't even go through one thin wall in the next room) and I was thinking that maybe one of the newer radio roms might improve it.
Will the Niki roms on the radio page work in a Neon? Should 1.65x radios work with your ROMs? The 1.65s there seem to be from a Kaiser.
The other thing I've seen is a HTC-supplied 'bluetooth hotfix' for the TytnII - any opinion on that?
We'll hang out for your video calling CAB/ROM too. Not that I ever really video call, but if someone asks 'can you do video calling?' I want to be able to say that I can... ;-b
Actually that's a thing - if someone video calls ME, will I be able to answer with the current ROM?

See post 1 for the new Video Dialer.
In regards to the radios have a read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369502
I haven´t had much time to play with Radios. I´m using the radio of my post and my bluetooth is fine. The range is excellent, i live on the second floor and i still can get my cars bluetooth out the back in the carpark.
Hey Seth
VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

VIDEO DIALER: didn't work. At all. I installed the cab, soft reset and had no phone dialer whatsoever. I don't mind reflashing the rom if that's what needs to be done - is the rom file on the front page updated with the video dialer? Or if the cab doesn't work will the rom not work too?
RADIO ROMS: it seems that the one you list is the best and latest for the Neon. The Niki ones and the Kaiser ones simply won't load. It's largely irrelevant anyway - because I don't think it's the phones problem...
BLUETOOTH: I faffed around for ages last night doing some tests with my dual and my decrepit old o2 mini (which used to have great bluetooth range) and it seems that the problem may be with the transmit power on my *computer* rather than on the dual. I left my dual next to my laptop at one end of the house, and then went to the other end of the house and did a search with the o2 mini. it found the dual but NOT the computer. I swapped phones and searched with the dual from the other end of the house and the same thing happened. So the phones have good range to each other, but they're both having trouble finding the computer.
I'm just waiting to get my hands on another laptop with bluetooth and then I can see if I need to call the good folk at Dell to replace my bluetooth module perhaps.
I'm also wondering if the laptop has gotten into its head that it's a 1m device instead of a 10m device. It's strange that I've only noticed it since getting my new phone, and now the old phone seems to have limited range too.
Anyways, blah blah blah - please let me know if you get any further with the video dialling in either the rom or the cab - and/or if there's anything you'd like me to test out for you.
Cheers

I will do two things tonight.
1 - I'll flash this Rom back on my device, i'm currently using SETHS DIAMOND V2 Build 19214.1.0.4. And i'll try to work out why the Cab doesn't work.
I'll rebuild this rom and include the video dialer if point one fails.
Cheers
Hey Seth
In the interests of 'giving something back' - here's a handful of splash screens for the diamond and the neon for you to take or leave...
Your 'logo' is supposed to be a square ROM chip but with griddle lines over it (you're a chef, after all). It also happens to be an 'S'.
If you want any further tweaks or raw files let me know.
Cheers
jbng
PS. While we're on the subject of splash screens, I get an 'access denied' error when I try to replace the windows mobile startup .png file on your latest Neon ROM. Any ideas why that would be the case? With the previous ROM my file just copied straight over the top.

Hi jbng,
Thanks for the wonderful images. The only program i know that can overwrite system files is Total commander. Just copy the file to your storage card and then use total commander to overwrite.
If that doesn´t work i posting 4 cabs on my latest Neon Rom for who ever wants to use your great artwork.
Regarding the Video dialer i just realized that RV1 has video calling, only the public beta didn´t. Please update your rom to either V1 or V"2.
Thanks

SCREENSHOTS BELOW:
thanks, sounds very interesting!
TF3D not from rhodium, but old one (from raphael) ?
Is it mean that i could upgrade my Serra (WM6.1) to WM6.5??
this could be a great 6.5 rom... has potential! thanks for sharing and we'll post feedback
Hi everyone!
Glad people are liking it so far. Have noticed a lot of downloads so fingers crossed some responses soon.
TF3D is basic of basic. I didn't include the HTC Home, I don't use it now the WM6.5 interface is improved. I also found that it killed battery life. I did include the HTC dialler, volume controls, task manager and gestures. The camera is also included.
Yes it does mean your 6.1 Serra can be on to 6.5 now. I have run it on my Serra for one week now. Battery is fantastic, up to 3 days with normal use. No issues found so far!
Looking forward to hearing back from you all. I'll make any mods people request.
TJ
Could you post few screenshots???
..nice rom guy!! very light!! i flash my tp..and all it's functionally....
that it's my screnshoot!!
i hope i can help tj1984 whit
screenshot...
p.s only problem the keyboard touch....little for my finger...
mano:
Try going to Settings - Input and changing to full Qwerty. That's the HTC Touch Pro keyboard. Much better finger wise. SMS issue also gone which means the auto input using the HTC one works.
I'll get some screen shots tomorrow including using TaskFacade. Post tomorrow evening.
Keep the ideas coming!

I have the same problems but winth EnergyROM v3. I think all these ROM are the same..
camera
i dont know if its just me but when i open up camera i get a black screen but then when i take it, it shows the picture.
kinda annoying when i cant preview my photos... any help?
man it has been so long since , htc tool the effort to put an update to the htc hd2,
all the official firmware are on 6.5, whereas Microsoft has released software OS till 6.5.5
if the releases an update it may get the reputation it deserves,
some problem i facing with the device are
1) win 6.5 sux
2) keyboard is a crap to text, get off with the arrow keys
3) music player is crap, cant handle the library when 8 gb of songs are put in the card
4) sms application hangs, when lots of sms are there
5) slight pink issues in camera is minutely present
by the way love the fone otherwise, using android has solved all my above mentioned problem with the phone
1)android is battery consuming
2) screen freezes a lot..
well better would be , if htc ported window phone 7 on hd2,, would be awesome, i like to stick to stock...
ONE BIG ISSUE
no software by htc to back up the hd2 contact and sms, i find outlook very crappy...
this is the only department where i think nokia is better,
Way you don't simply take a Cooked Rom?
I have WM 6.5.X
I have Lots of application on my device.
I have fore about 12GB of music on my SD, without any problems.
I hate it to delete message, I have all my message I send and received from the very first day on my device (01/01/2010) Fore the moment +/- 700 SMS
+/_ 300 photo's I take with my device on storage card (without pink issues)
and +/- 100 files (PowerPoint/Word/excel/Adobe)
Ow yes, I used my device professionally.
Well all together I must say I don't have problems. but I must be honest I changed my Rom from the very first day I have my device.
So like you see it isn't a problem of device but Rom!!
There are lots of Rom on the market; so way stay with a Rom who don't satisfy you??
Only thing I noticed is that android reacts WAY BETTER then WinMo, and that's a *****, because winmo is our primary OS. I'm using android all the time.
BTW HD2 has standard an option to backup everything! Myphone!!
Also free: pimbackup.
But WP7, forget it, it won't see daylight.

1) I disagree, if you said '6.5.x' I would agree, so I've no advice for you here.
2) Use Swype, or try others
3) TCPMP or Core Player
4) Disable HTC messaging check this thread
5) ---
6) DotFred PIMBackUp. I hated Nokia, I don't have much experience with other OS, but I don't know of another which is so versatile and customisable

hate nokia more than you and you ever can
hey i never said anything about 6.5.x, i was talking about 6.5 ..
and by the way with nokia i was only refering to there pc suite application...
i strongly feel htc is a big enough company to launch there own software for there fones...
and dont you guys think its time htc released a new firmware.
and with MS myphone, yu can only keep it between windows,
ya.... bbobeckyj has just told you what i wanted to tell you..... Install Swype keyboard which is damn fast when type sms! Very Cool software... And also use PIMbackup, you can just 1 click to back up all your data within a sec.
For sms hang, you could update your sms here --> "New SMS Function Update" http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=812&news_id=407
But i would also suggest you to flash a customize ROM that could solve all the problem Try Energy ROM...
Yeah dude, you don't buy a new phone and expect it to work perfectly. You need to tweak install and stuff, and that's what makes it interesting. I like to customize and tweak my phone to the max. And I have none of the issues you have.

i dont have any of these problems.
1. it does definitly not.
2. yes it does, thats why im not using it. go for fingerkeyboard2.1
3. why the hell are u using the standard music player......... -> pocketplayer for me
4. im a extreme sms writer, so i would hate that problem. but anyway, im using winmo for a long time, so i used to the default windows messaging app and disabled the htc messaging (wich really suxx xD) bbobeckyj posted a link how to disable it
5. since latest updates i dont see any pink **** anymore Oo (just realized)
probably it was the camera update i made that i can use the volume buttons as shutter key....
****, u could have solved every problem by just searching the forum.. i remember so many threads about exactly the problems u have
ths man,, using lcg jukebox now,, and yeah disabled sense,, is sort of incomplete,, but phone is lotta faster.....

Wow looks like i will be trying this on my spare HD2 1st. This will make things a lot easier for most people. I'll press the button.

Yes same problem for me with Moon light !
i need to enter my code!!!
Thanks downloading both now.
First time with this build i can donwnload from market
thanks
Woohoohh it's arrived... downloading...
Downloading now, so with this we dont have to active our WP7 again....?
thanks for share....
nice,, expecting more..
Installed, work great, can now download and install from market but its kinda lagging for me,and network.
Other then that its awesome.
Can't download from marketplace and still need Activated code!
Just installed Moon Light rom and tried to activate with my activation code and got an error:
Problem with server
We're really sorry, but we've run into a problem, and we're not sure what caused it. This might be a temporary issue that will be fixed if you try again later, but if you keep seeing this error and want to call support, here's an error code that might help them figure out the problem:
0xFFFFFFEC
actual problem with the server or just the rom?
To all! You need your own activation code becose microsoft banned code inside the rom.And it be allways like that.The best of this rom is have shevron and perfomance tweak.
Working
I have it installed and working flawless so far.
I can confirm that the moon light rom does work. I installed, realised I didnt write down my previous activation code, so I called and got another one. (Dont hate, im in the US) Put it in, and started downloading from the market. Other than the market being really slow, and installing taking forever, but I can live with that. I am afraid to plug it into my computer and having it reject everything. Someone let me know if plugging into a computer doesnt produce any problems.
