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!

If we assume everyone is here to troll, don't we then not have a forum?
I was able to work out a hack which will allow desktop level flash in the Surface browser, even on sites that are not approved by Microsoft. So if there is a site that you like, but flash doesn't work, because Microsoft hasn't deemed it worthy enough yet, here's a way to manually enable Flash. (For those who aren't aware - only Microsoft approved sites are allowed to use Flash - its not universal - a site apparently has to be approved and put on a list for Flash to work - basically Microsoft censors the content that you see based upon whether or not the site meets their "criteria")
This hack is for the desktop Surface browser, not the metro Surface browser.
The downside with this hack is that, so far it appears that it only works for one website at a time.
Major disclaimer that you've heard a million times before - Tinkering with the registry has its risks - If you screw something up don't blame me.
How to do it:
1. Start
2. Swipe up from bottom and Select: "All apps" on bottom right menu
3. Select: Command Prompt
4. type regedit at the cursor and press enter
5. User account control appears - Do you want program to make changes - Yes
6. Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer
7. Make Sure "Internet Explorer" is selected then go to "Edit" and Select "New" and "Key" from the menu that appears.
8. The New Yellow Key folder will appear on the file tree - name it: Flash
9. If you click View and Refresh, the new Key "Flash" should be just below "Feed Discovery" in the tree.
10. Make sure your new key "Flash" is selected (the only assigned value at this point will read: "Default")
11. Now go to Edit/New and select "String Value" Name the new value DebugDomain
10. Double Click the new string value. Edit box will open. In the field: "Value Data" put the domain of your website for example "www.myflashcrippledsite.com"
11. Click OK Close Regedit and your done.
12. In the Desktop Browser Make sure the setting ActiveX Filtering is unchecked. (Right side of browser where there are the Home, Favorites and Gear icons - select the little round Gear (tools icon) and then Safety and then uncheck ActiveX Filtering
View attachment 1439531
Now try browsing your site -might have to restart the browser or refresh your page - its worked for me without a restart of the computer but you might need to restart the Surface itself (Right swipe, Settings, Power, Restart.)
If you have problems, make sure you use the right domain for your website for example www.microsoft.com not http//www.microsoft.com
Also remember this works in the Desktop version of the browser not the metro version accessed from the Start screen.
And like I said above, make sure you don't forget to uncheck "ActiveX Filtering" or Flash still won't work.
For now, to view another site, you need to change the DebugDomain value to the domain of your new site - pretty quick once the key has been made, and shouldn't require a restart of the computer. Tomorrow I'll see if there's a way to put multiple DebugDomain keys.
Sorry if this is unclear, I just figured this out then typed it at 2:30 in the morning. I've tested it on a couple of sites with success. But this is still very experimental, haven't done much testing as its too late - more tomorrow.
But I'm simultaneously thrilled and annoyed at this - because after seeing how well flash works on many crippled sites, it makes me really angry that this function isn't on by default and I have to jump through ridiculous hoops just to get flash to work.
Awesome, have a script!
Works for me with just a page reload; thanks!
I wrote some scripts to automate this (scripting being the easiest way to do third-party code on Windows RT); see the attached file. You'll either need to run the EnableFlash script as Admin every time, or run the SetFlashRegPerms script as Admin just once first. If you put the EnableFlash script in a location that is in your PATH, you can easily launch it from any cmd or Powershell prompt.
I love Love LOVE that Windows RT can be scripted, and that people can run stuff as Admin so easily.
Dear all, I have just found a better solution to this problem.
See the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33414039#post33414039
This works on all websites you manually add, as many as you would like without the hassle of going trough the registry.
Wow I go to bed at 3:00 AM and by breakfast there's already a script for my solution as well as an alternative solution - gotta love XDA.
Thank you GoodDayToDie and Marvin_S for responding so quickly. I noticed Marvin_S started a new thread to fully explore enabling flash by editing the whitelist - sounds like a good alternative.
I feel much more positive about the Surface now - Lack of Flash support was one of the biggest negatives for this device and it was really bothering me.
And its nice to see that we have easy control over the OS in terms of changes and improvements - a big plus and bodes well for the Surface's future.
Hi,
I need some help. I scrued my Omnia 7 touchscreen with the LEO ADVANCED app.
I juste need to set one value to get it working again :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch]
"PDD"="CotullaTouch.dll"
My question is : how can i edit registry without using my phone screen.
I can : unlock screen, use voice recognisation to launch any installed app, remotely install app (i'm prelly sure)
3 solutions are coming up to my mind:
1 Find a desktop app that allows to edit plugged phone's registry
2 Remotely control my phone ( with a computer, use mouse to change the values with WP7 root tool)
3 (less imaginable) créate an Xap that changes this specific value. I will still be able to install it remotely and to launch it with the voice recognisation.
Can only think of thoses two solution. Its the only solutions i found

You have the ability to edit the registry from your PC, you will need to follow these steps:
1 - Download and install the registry editor for the PC:
http://www.torchsoft.com/en/download.html
2 - Connect your Windows Phone to the PC.
3 - Start the Zune software and synchronized with the device.
4 - boot registry editor
5 - Then we click on "File / Connect to a portable device Cams"
6 - Usually the device is already connected to the registry editor
7 - Once you have synced the device with the editor, please edit the required record
PS: Sorry for my bad English
The third option is also actually really easy, though you'll need to deploy the app as an update to an already-trusted app (unless you're using a custom ROM that trusts all app by default).

Thank you, it works (didn't work with the last 4.6.2 version of Registry Workshop, i use the 2.x available here http://www.torchsoft.com/node/5)
Ok i was able to change the registry values from PC, greaaaat step. But i got it wrong, it's not the right value or not all the values i had to set back. I need someone with an Omnia 7 to tell me all the values he has in :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch
I'm already trying to reach LEO ADVANCED's author so see wich ones are modified when we use his app.
Thanks a lot elpinta25

the problem is that i can't create apps. i'm not a developper
If someone knows any Omnia7 owner, i just need to know what is the value of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch] "PDD"
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch] "DLL"
It is
"DLL"="TouchMDD.dll"
"PDD"="atmel_pdd.dll"
worked perfectly except i had to try multiple times to edit the registry. It didn't work the first time, did several reboot to find the old value still there (PC/mobile sync problem, don't really know)
but it was the right value to change : "atmel_pdd.dll" and the right way to do it. Thank you titi, gooddaytodie and elpinta

I recently updated to 10.0.14393.187 and got glance working by copying the older version of glance and tweaking/adding some registry settings. Might be worth trying yourself.
You need to be able to access the phone in mass storage mode. Unless you know how to put files on your phone another way. Then do that instead.
Followed these instructions here to update and how to edit the registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68222287&postcount=3
Glance file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/win...-rs1-build-t3319375/post67795323#post67795323
(I followed the rest of the thread for more instructions. I also highly recommend reading through)
Used WPinternals to set 1020 to mass storage mode.
This says where to copy the extracted files. I had to run a file explorer program as administrator to copy the files. (I used explorer++).
dape16 said:
I connected my Lumia 1020 in Mass Storage mode and then transferred the missing files to "\Data\\SharedData\\OEM\\Public". Then I used regedit to add the missing keys. In the SOFTWARE hive all the keys were needed, in SYSTEM I just changed these two values: "ImagePath"="c:\\windows\\system32\\OEMServiceHost.exe -k NsgGlance" and "PreshutdownTimeout"=dword:00000032.
Good luck.

If you do happen to have a backup from a working build. I believe you can import the registries you need. I don't know how to do that exactly though. Otherwise continue.
When doing the registry part use only one backslash (\) not two. That took me a while to figure out.
First registry set. Took a little bit to put these all in.

Don't forget to unload the hive when you're all done. Unless you use a different registry editor. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I also changed a couple of settings but people got it working without changing them.
Good luck.

I recently updated to 10.0.14393.187 and got glance working by copying the older version of glance and tweaking/adding some registry settings. Might be worth trying yourself.
You need to be able to access the phone in mass storage mode. Unless you know how to put files on your phone another way. Then do that instead.
Followed these instructions here to update and how to edit the registry:

(I followed the rest of the thread for more instructions. I also highly recommend reading through)
Used WPinternals to set 1020 to mass storage mode.
This says where to copy the extracted files. I had to run a file explorer program as administrator to copy the files. (I used explorer++).
If you do happen to have a backup from a working build. I believe you can import the registries you need. I don't know how to do that exactly though. Otherwise continue.
When doing the registry part use only one backslash (\) not two. That took me a while to figure out.
First registry set. Took a little bit to put these all in.
And Second set. I think most of these were already there. Just a few things needed to be tweaked.

yesss!!!!! with this procedure it's working in 14393.189!!! ... and in 14393.189 onedrive sync is working too!! (off topic but important for me).
I've tried to complete this mission a few times, each ending in disaster...until now.
Summary:
The parental control applications too are restrictive. Amazon made some slight changes to the Android code which gave these applications full, and in my opinion unnecessary control of the tablets and the security options. Disabling or uninstalling them can and will eventually cause you to reflash stock firmware. That's because they are labeled as "device/profile owner applications". Located in /data/system is 'device_owner.xml'. That file configures the apps as device/profile owners and doing anything to stop them results in a disaster, often unfixable without reflashing stock. The idea was to trick FireOS by switching device owner applications right from under it's nose. It's not easy but it is possible.
This will be along guide. one or two of these steps may not even be necessary but I am going to present them as I did them and was successful. Beyond that you are free to remove steps and try the process at your will. However any deviation from the guide can result in damage to your device. Even this guide may result in damage to your device, because not everyone's results will be the same. From here on out you are on your own and I am not responsible for any damage done to your devices. This will take some time, if you do not have it it is recommended you do not continue until you do. It will not be possible to pause for extended periods through this guide. This WILL REQUIRE a factory reset. You must be rooted or have an unlocked tablet to complete the guide. You must also have the Google play store and related services installed as system applications in priv-app folder. For this it's recommended to flash a pico Gapps package in TWRP.
THIS OPERATION WAS PERFORMED ON A DEVICE THAT WAS DEODEXED ON 5.6.1.0 WITH A 5.3.6.0 (LATEST FIREOS) BOOT IMAGE. This will not likely work on a stock ROM that has not been deodexed.
Instructions:
1. You need to download an application that uninstalls system applications. Any one of them will do so long as it works. You will absolutely need to download an application that does this. Also download a root file explorer.
2. Uninstall the application called 'Managed provisioning.' then open a shell using a terminal emulator or ADB. Then type the commands below.
Code:
adb shell
su
settings put global device_provisioned 0
3. Go to settings > security > device administrator and make sure Google pay is a device administrator. This is very important and you must not miss this step.
4. Using a root explorer, go to /data/system and copy device_owner.xml to your internal storage. If using your PC please use Notepad++, though it's recommended you complete the following tasks on your device.
4b. Go to system/etc/permissions/ and open handheld_core_hardware.xml in a text editor. Find the line that says: <!-- feature name="android.software.managed_users" --> and replace that line with the one below, save the file and reboot:
Code:
<feature name="android.software.managed_users" />
5. Then go to your internal storage and open the file device_owner.xml in a text editor. Replace the lines of text with the text below, making sure the format is NOT changed from the original and save the file:
Code:
<profile-owner package="com.google.android.gms" name="Google Play services" userId="0" component="com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver" />
6. NOTE: this step CANNOT be done in TWRP. Again Using a root explorer, copy and paste device_owner.xml to /data/system, overwriting the current one (remember to back up the original). Set permissions to rw (0600) and reboot. If there are no errors or popups and your home and recents button still work after rebooting, continue to the next step.
7. Reboot to recovery and clear/wipe cache and dalvik and reboot system. When booted, if no pop errors from anything, open the uninstaller app you downloaded and uninstall Parental Controls and Parental monitoring. Again reboot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and reboot system.
8. Again if no errors, reboot to recovery again and this time do a factory reset. This step is very important and cannot be missed. It is absolutely required that the data be wiped on the device or the device and system will recognize it is no longer owner of said device and it will start shutting you out of security and other options on the device.
9. When rebooted, Open the shell in terminal emulator again or ADB and type the following command below. A reboot should not be necessary when done:
Code:
su
settings put global device_provisioned 1
10. Download an activity launcher (I use activity manager and yes you need to pay a slight fee to use the root part of the launcher, but it's worth it.) Scroll settings and search for 'generic lockscreen set' and long press it to open it with root access. All of your lock screen options should be open and available to you even after removing the parental applications. If they are congratulations you have now remove parental applications and the restrictions that came with them from your device. Go back to /data/system and you will also notice that the device_owner.xml is gone. Killing 2 birds with one stone. If any lockscreen options are blocked then you have failed to properly remove the parental applications and the policies that go along with them.
NOTE: You may need to deactivate 'smart lock' and trusted gms as that may interfere with some lock screen options.
I'll let you guys decide, but I think the device is vastly improved in terms of performance and in Internet connectability after removing these applications.
Edit: forgot a step. Can't believe I did that.

I must have goofed. I did a factory reset and now my tablet is back to stock. lol
Edit: I take that back. I tap on parental controls and nothing happens lol
Edit2: Yep It's running good. You were right too. It seems like it runs a lot smoother without amazon's parental controls.

Cuz I'm pretty sure without the support of manage profiles, the parental applications actually cut down on a Wi-Fi speed. I don't think it's cutting short the connection, rather the metrics and scripts associated with other apps and configs, cause it to constantly disconnect and reconnect. also fireOS doesn't like when you have more than one network saved at a time, in the same area. You can also delete etc/wifiloglevels.sh if you are on the deodexed rom. Can also set the value of the line in build prop for wifi rssi levels to ""

Add: you Dan probably reinstall the managed provisioning app. It might let you create a work profile I am not sure. I am going to experiment with that more tomorrow.
I'd like to add that I am on the same battery cycle as the other day when I started this process at 65%. I haven't been as aggressive in my use as much as normal this weekend but I haven't had to put it on the charger all well and usually I have to do that a few times a week if I really use it.
I forgot to mention that step 4 and possibly 5 seem jumbled.

Worded it a bit better and broke it apart somewhat. I definitely saw where one would get lost right there. Good eyes!
Hi Dragon Fire,
Is it now working ok? I have the HD8 (7th generation) and would like to eliminate the restrictions of the parental control.

Every thing is working so far as I can see. There is a slight delay with some apps that require a lock screen be activated for them to work. I use a WiFi app my provider provides and it requires a screen lock. It failed to recognize it at first. Clearing the providers app cache and restarting it worked.

Hi guys, I got a couple questions about this process...
Could someone who did it already check to see if it is possible to change the language of the tablet? On my own tablet, I get a message about parental controls being required, however my own tablet was rooted and debloated a different way last year. In my case, I don't care about changing the language, and I'm totally satisfied with the results I got.
I ask because I'd like to do this "stock Android look & feel" process for a friend (they do not even have an Amazon account, nor want one), but they need to be able to switch language between English and Spanish on a regular basis, and I don't want to mess up their tablet with mods that would prevent this.
Thanks for any insights you guys might have on this... really appreciate the hard work and vast knowledge represented here on XDA.
