i think that i just made a huge mistake maybe the biggest one of my entire life!! i just switch my iphone 4 for a htc hd7 and 200$ in return and this phone is completely useless i cant add ringtones i have to pay for a gps???i cant have internet tethering,im not even sure iuf this phone supports 4g??? i cant get it man can somebody help me out if i have to pay for a ringtone let me know how to do it so i can have custom ringtones on my cellphone!
Ringtones - Coming, if you can't wait, unlock your device & search the forum. There are a few apps around that can add ringtones/change system sounds.
GPS - Should be coming, but this is in 3rd party apps hands mainly other than Bing Maps, which we don't know when it's coming. Also, if you can't wait, Unlock device & search for the Navigon Select app & how to use your iPhone Maps in WP7.
4G - Neither iPhone 4 nor WP7 have 4G. AT&T & T-Mobile don't have real 4G. LTE by Verizon is the only true 4G available & I believe Android is the only smartphone OS using hardware capable of accessing it. It will come to WP7, but not overnight.
Internet Tethering - There's supposedly a hack to enable this, but someone said T-Mobile messaged them about it requiring a service. Most US carriers require a tethering service for it. Not sure why since you pay for the data & should be allowed to use it as you see fit, but that's a whole other story.

when u say unlock ur device is carrier unlock??? or what cause my hd7 is carrier unlocked!
Developer Unlock so you can side load apps. There's 2 methods, a hack called ChevronWP7 Unlocker or a MS Developer unlock by applying for AppHUB ($99 a yr fee or free for a student). You need an unlocked device to be able to side load the apps required.
ok man but can u explain it to me as if i were a 5 year old?? im sorry im just new with Windows phone man i can tell u anything about iphones hehehe but no windows! i already installed the certificate now wut do i have to do??
it says having problems comunicating with the device please make sure blah blah!! help me please!and yes ZUNE is running
Ok, you downloaded the cert, now download the unlocker tool for HERE. Do you have Zune installed to your PC? This is similiar to jailbreaking an iphone/ipod btw. You'll need to email the cert to the email address on your wp7. Then open the email on your device. Download the attactment cert, open it & install it. When you open the email, you press on the attachment. That will start the download, the icon will change once it's downloaded. Press it again to open the cert. A new window should open with a button near the bottom to install it, press the install button.

Download & install this.
ok i downloaded the link u provide its the microsoft visual studio for windows phone....when i open chevron i check marked the 2 boxes and hit unlock but when i hit unlock it says the same error,problems comunicating with the phone blah blah!
Chevron cannot be used to unlock if the phone has been updated to NODO, check in Settings >> About >> More Information to see what OS software version you're running, if it's 7.0.7390.0 or higher you're not able to chevron unlock i'm afraid...
Yes im afraid thats my version ....... So what should i do??? Wait for update(how long?) get rid of this crappy phone?advice!!!

It's hardly a crappy phone. Just use it for a while as it, browse the market place, install apps and get used to it.
Relax
Several friends of mine use the HD7 and they love it. Yes, not being able to add ringtones is BAD but it will be fixed (in September).
Actually you can downgrade the OS (search a proper firmware in the HTC HD7 forum), jailbreak it using Chevron, avoid the relock and then updating the OS via Zune.
K... this is a lot of steps but it's worth it, believe me. WP7 is much better than iPhone. Note, this is going to wipe all the contents off your phone but you'll be able to freely redownload any apps you bought already so don't worry about that.
The first thing to do is to put an older version of WP7 on your phone:
1. Download THIS ROM file.
2. Unzip the contents.
3. Turn off the phone.
4. Hold power button and volume down on the phone. It will enter the bootloader mode.
5. Plug the phone into your computer. Wait until the bootloader says "USB" on the bottom.
6. On your computer, launch ROMUpdateUtility (the one you downloaded on step 1).
7. Follow all the steps on the ROMUpdateUtility. This will probably take 10-15 minutes.
8. You now have an older version of WP7 on your phone.
9. Setup your phone as you did the first time you started it.
The next step is to Developer Unlock your phone:
1. Download ChevronWP7 (without sideload limit).
2. Unzip onto your computer.
3. I'm not sure if that zip includes the cert, so you can also download this certificate.
4. Email chevronwp7.cer to the email address of your phone.
5. On the phone, open the email.
6. Tap the attachment to download it to your phone. It turns into a shield.
7. Tap it again to install it.
8. Make sure the phone is plugged into the computer and make sure Zune is running. Wait until the phone is done syncing 100% with Zune.
9. On your PC, run ChevronWP7.exe
10. Click both checkboxes.
11. Click "Unlock", and viola... unlocked!
12. Download Tom XAP Installer. Unzip to your PC. Run the exe. It will automatically associate XAP files to Tom XAP Installer in Windows (XAP is the file type of WP7 programs). In the next steps, you'll just need to double click the XAP files to install them to your phone.
The next step is to make sure the phone doesn't automatically relock itself:
1. Make sure Zune is running, you are connected to your computer, and the phone is synced 100% with Zune.
2. Download TouchXplorer. Extract it to your PC. Double click 'TouchXplorer.xap' to install it on your phone.
3. Download HTC Connection Setup. Extract it to your PC. Double click 'Connection Setup.xap' to install it on your phone.
4. Download unlockit.zip. Extract it to your PC. Double click 'unlockit.xap' to install it on your phone.
5. On your phone, if XBMOD.Files.Deployer does not automatically run, go to your App list on the device and tap it to run it.
6. Now on your phone, run TouchXplorer.
7. Navigate to the directory \My Documents\My Ringtones\
8. Tap and hold the file CustClear.provxml, then tap 'Copy'.
9. Navigate back to the folder \Windows\
10. Tap the settings menu (the three dots in the bottom right corner), and select "Paste".
11. Go back to your App list on your phone and run HTC Connection Setup.
12. In HTC Connection Setup, hit the OK button (on the bottom with the check mark).
13. Now your phone will not automatically relock itself when you reconnect it to Zune.
You can now update to the latest verion of WP7 in Zune and it will remain developer unlocked for you to deploy homebrew apps, including custom ringtones, to your phone. To update WP7 in Zune, go to the Phone Settings, then to the Update tab. It takes about 40 minutes to complete the whole update process.
To install custom ringtones, use RingRing7. It automatically converts your MP3 files on your computer and places them in the phone's ringtone folder.
For a whole bunch of other homebrew apps, visit this thread. There is a ton of awesomeness there.
I wish this was more simple, and I can imagine that an average WP7 user would not want to do all of this just to get custom ringtones, but stick with the phone for a while. You're not going to regret buying the HD7. I have had a much better experience with it than I ever did with my iPhone or the many Android phones I have used.
Hope this helps!

The Wingster: Access to all of the best Programs, ROMs, and Hacks for your T-Mobile Wing
As many of you already know, I created a website called "The Wingster", which is dedicated to everything for the T-Mobile Wing.
Programs - All programs are tested for compatibility with the Wing, any bugs or issues are reported, screenshots are created, features are listed, and more. I'm making all the apps on XDA accessable by the common user!
ROMs - There are a lot of ROMs out there, and since the cooks are busy creating newer versions, they don't always have time to make a nice detailed description page about their ROM. So I do it for them! Don't spend all of your time digging through a lengthy thread, if there was anything important that happened, it will be on The Wingster!
More - The Wingster is the place for everything T-Mobile Wing. If anything important happens about the phone, I'll be sure to tell everyone. The Wing II (HTC Touch Pro 2) will also be added to the site once I get it this July!
Enjoy using The Wingster!
Sneak Peak: A Mobile Wingster is coming in the near future! You can already visit the page, but I'd recommend not, because I'm still working on it. If you'd like an idea of how the mobile page will look in it's final version, visit this page. I know The Wingster is already freakin fast at loading, but I just wanted to make an even better mobile version!
And donations are always welcome! I've gotta pay $15 a year for the awesome website domain, so you've all got about 10 months to come up with $15 so we can keep the site! Just kiddin, I can pay that myself, but it'd be nice if I didn't have to. So yea, send the donations via Pay Pal, here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=5401195
I hope I've helped all of you! And if anyone cannot donate with money, a nice reply saying how I helped you is always welcome! Just knowing that I'm helping everyone here makes me even more motivated to make the site better!
Thanks everyone, and thanks to Ivan especially, his awesome ROMs inspired me to make The Wingster.

Connected my phone and my computer through usb, and put my phone into flight mode. While it was syncing. Your direction on the wingster website said to run the USBL.exe file. But I can only fine the USPL.exe file. I thought you just messed up on the letters so i ran the USPL. exe file that i found in the flash center folder. The command line appears and after 75 percent of the 2nd step begins my phone blanks out white. And then the PDA utility pops out. After clicking finish, and then it saids something error check your utility. I did it like three times. Sometimes my phone pops up this little penguin and then freezes. But after all those attempts my phone still works normal. Can you please help me. Not clear about something just ask me. thanks.

Huh, yea, idk why it's not working. Umm it might be possible that your phone is a lower SPL than 4. Try this out:
Have your phone turned on like normal
Hold down the Camera button, and while holding it, press and release the Soft Reset button. Then once a new screen comes up, release the Camera button. This should bring up a colorscreen (Red, Green, and Blue), if not, tell me.
Check what SPL number you are. It should be over 4. If it is under 4, then we have to try something differently. Also check what IPL you have, and if it's under 4, then tell me again.
If you are over 4 on both of those numbers, then everything should be fine. Idk why it wouldn't work.
Are you using the default T-Mobile ROM (Still shouldn't matter)
Does ActiveSync work normally with your computer???
Answer and do those things that I listed out, then tell me the results and such. Thanks.
Restart the PC. It the PC not allowing the connection.
Also try:
Disabling your firewall.
Disabling and re-enabling USB support in ActiveSync.

The files should be fine, I used to use them and they worked perfectly for me. Are you by chance using Windows 7?
Ignore the "disabling the firewall" thing, because that should have no effect.
So yea, are u running Windows 7, Vista, or XP? And is it the 64-Bit or the 32-Bit version??
Don't put that HaRET file on your phone. It'll do nothing. The Penguin is actually part of the bootloader proccess or something, but running that HaRET file will solve nothing. And I have no clue what that HARET file is. And I've never seen a penguin on my screen before.

Idk, you could re-download it again, but all the files are in that one folder. You then placed the downloaded ROM file into the RUU folder there? Thats all you should have to do.
Which ROM are you installing, anyways?

I donwnloaded the stable 6.1 version. I never had to unzip the file was i soppose it just automatically saved on to my desktop. And then i dragged it into the RUU file. Is the WM 6.1 soppose to be the NBH file? Because in my folder it says 7Z file type. I have another file but it saids NB file type. is this wrong?

That's the big problem with unauthorized versions of WP7. WP7 is designed in such a way that basically makes it useless and worthless without it being genuine because it revolves around the Live features. To use those Live features without concern or fear, you need to have a genuine version of WP7. Snag yourself a real WP7 device, you won't regret it. The games are just purely outstanding. And the whole, "genuine" experience is worth the cost of the new hardware. Leave your HD2 for Android, as it makes the absolute best Android phone ever created, and get a genuine WP7 device...I recommend the HD7...and never worry about accessing any features ever again.
Thanks I will,
but then how do i take my HD2 back to Android?

It's super simple, actually. If you use a USB flashed Android ROM, just connect your phone to the PC in bootloader mode (powered off - hold volume down button and press power button - keep holding volume down till the red, green, white screen appears), then open the MAGLDR 1.13 folder (unzip it first) and run ROMUpdateUtility. Next, when your HD2 reboots, select #5 (USB Flasher), then open the ROM folder (also unzipped) and click on the DAF or Install. Allow it to complete. That's all you need to do.
The latest Tytung Gingerbread ROM still uses USB flash version. And it's a very nice one.
Thanks
it actually worked, but I am getting message(s) that the memory is full, is there any way to get an arabic android that does not have this probelm?

Yes. But it requires an external partition or apps2sd method and I can't reliably instruct you with those. I've never done one because I have a 1024 Leo. But follow the instructions in the link and you should have success.

I just got promoted and was given an LG C900 to use as my cell phone. The previous owner wiped it and when I received it 7.0 was on it.
I did some googling and updated it to 7.5 so it's running Mango now. I'm trying to change the theme accent color. None of them are dark enough. How would I go about making the colors darker or setting some type of custom theme up?

only if you have your device interop unlocked. then you can install Advanced Configuration Tool by Schaps and change accent colors.
Since you have an LG it's easy to unlock your phone following the instructions here. You install MFG tool and modify the registry. After that you can sideload the advanced config tool with for example this.
Thank you for the information. I checked that thread and it says this: This only works on devices that already have a developer-unlock!
My device does not have a developer-unlock so I cannot apply his methods

that is incorrect, which is good for you . Read the article carefully. if you have an LG device, and ONLY an LG device, you were able to follow the steps to completely unlock your phone at any time, even on Mango. Trust me. It's a known fact that LG devices have the LG MFG tool with built-in registry editor.
dial ##634# on your phone and press call. that will install the LG MFG tool (listed under you apps).
then follow these steps (a lot of steps, but trust me, well worth it, you can sideload homebrew applications and a lot more)
1. Prepare a cup of coffee
2. Open the MFG app. The password is: appmfg#*#
3. Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
4. Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
5. Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
6. Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD.
7. Leave input data box empty and tap "SET".
8. The output should be 0.
9. Now enter "1" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
10. The output should be 1.
11. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
12. Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD.
13. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
14. Output result should be "0".
15. Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install"
16. Set your input key to "MaxUnsignedApp" and set to DWORD.
17. Clear the input data box and hit "SET".
18. The output should be 0.
19. Now enter "2147483647" in the inputbox and tap "SET".
20. Output result should be "2147483647".
Thank you. I went ahead and followed those instructions and rebooted. Still installing Windows Phone SDK 7.1 so I can run Tom XAP Installer to see about installing the tools you linked before (hope I'm doing this right).

cool, this one (XapDeployX) doesn't require VS I believe. Either way, it's a good program to deploy programs because you can use this to update a program without deleting it's settings.
BTW. Advanced Config Tool will install itself in the Settings menu in case you are looking for it. It will throw and error message when you start it, but it will run. I highly recommend not to play with any of the other settings in the program because you can mess up your device. Only use the accent color part.
The program is sometimes picky and doesn't want to start. My experience was to use the deployer above and it worked (compared to another one I tried).
cheers
Ok so I followed the instructions, rebooted, connected to my computer, launched zune, and ran the xap file.
Tom XAP Installer tells me the following:
-Please make sure your phone was unlocked!
-Please make sure you connected device to PC and Zune launched
EDIT: I tried the link you gave me above and that worked great Any other XAP's I should look into? So far this thing is much cooler than the iPhone 3G I had. I just wish it had Citrix, VPN, and could see wifi networks with a hidden SSID

developers are currently rewriting their homebrew tools for Mango. Needs some time. There are a few useful homebew apps in this forum, e.g. r1ng3d to get your custom ringtones. For sideloading apps I highly recommend Phone7Market. You can search the marketplace, review screenshots and deploy with the same program. You can sideload some HTC OEM apps if you like as well. You can find more 3rdMarketPlace applications via this program. If you use the same deployer above you will be able to run them fine on the LG even though they are Samsung or HTC.

only if you have your device interop unlocked. then you can install Advanced Configuration Tool by Schaps and change accent colors.
Since you have an LG it's easy to unlock your phone following the instructions here. You install MFG tool and modify the registry. After that you can sideload the advanced config tool with for example this.

Hi everyone, Is it possible to integrate the WM Device Center directly in the OS? I don't wanna have to open this app every time I connect my phone to the pc..I'm lazy, I know

Seems like you are lazy more than you've expected. You don't even read forum title - it's WP7, not WM forum
I'm not even sure what app or what OS you're referring to - do you mean ToucnXpereince on WP7? That's *supposed* to open automatically when you start WPDM on the PC.
Windows Mobile Device Center is a "big" Windows (desktop/laptop) app, not a phone app... are you saying you want it to launch on the PC when you connect your phone?
Sorry guys, I haven't been clear enough I meant the Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER look at this tread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1521763
It's an app that has to be launched on a fully unlocked phone every time you connect it to the computer. In this way your device can be explored as a sort of plug&play usb mass storage. You can directly copy on it doc files, or anything else you want. Even xap files on my HD7 with deepshining, if I install a File Browser too, I'm able to install XAPs directly from my phone without any other software installed on my pc or on my phone. I think it's a great thing, even for doc files because before of this program the only method to transfer them from PC to the phone ad vice versa was to send'em to myself via mail, or use skydrive. Not much convenient for me. This new method simplyfied my life
So my question was: can this XAP be directly integrated in Windows Phone 7 so when I connect my device to the computer I don't have to open every time this app on my phone?
Now *that* is actually an interesting question. It's certainly possible to have a PC app start a phone app; that's how WPDM launches TouchXperience or Visual Studio launches a debug app. To launch fully automaticlaly, though... that would probably require that the app either have some background service (possible on a fully-unlocked ROM) that monitors for a PC connection, or that the app be registered in some way as "do this when you connect" although I'm not sure how I'd go about the latter.
Yeah, now it's much clear and as GoodDayToDie said is much more interesting I'm already thought about implementation (but I need to run WPConnect.exe automatically, not a Windows Mobile Device Center LAUNCHER). I'll try to find time for the development of this app (this one - finding time - is really hard ), so stay tuned!

Hey, gigsaw, did you tried WP7 auto launcher? I don't have full unlock so I can't test with WMDC Launcher.
So sorry if it seems that I disappeared but someone stole my HD7 some days ago D: D: D: D: I'm so sad........I was very interested in windows phone 7, I thought it could be the best mobile OS with a bit of developing..but now I can't do anything more. So sorry guys ='(
I am trying to side load a 64mb app on my HTC arrive unlocked with leads rom. I have tries deploying it from sdk 7.1 to device and it comes back invalid cap. I downloaded - relax melodies directly from windows phone.com, manually. I tried the emulator and it doesn't seem to even work at all. I even tried to copy and paste right onto the phone and got invalid app. What is it im doing wrong. Thank you. Download from phone doesn't also work. I believe the file is too big
Can you explain the origin of the xap? Paid for ap, free app, etc, its very import!

sorry for being unclear
the app is call relax melodies. Its an app and not an audio file. They offer a free download as well as a paid version. The problem like I said is that through the market place it stops and says attention needed Some apps can be too big to download from phone and try loading from desktop. Hit retry and I end up with the same. the problem is I can't seem to get any sideloading method to work. Thanks
maybe
try to copy it on your device connect to pc and use wmdc or similia to view and browse the folders on your phone (eg in the root) then use xap deployer in device to install (such custom roms have it pre loaded otherwise you will find everything on this forum)
hope this works (sometimes for me it worked)
remember that several paidapps are impossible to install due a signature restriction (or something like this)
You don't need to side load, what it means is connect to WiFi or connect to Zune with USB, that will allow you to install with no app size restrictions. If lets say you were to attempt to download an xap through illicit means, you will be unable to install it, not because of file size but because they are encrypted. If you download via the marketplace whilst connected to WiFi or Zune you should be fine
