Windows Phone 7 HTC HD2 port completed, cloud services still not working

January 13, 2011 | By Surur

The Dark Forces Team have completed their port of Windows Phone 7 to the HTC HD2. The software appears to be fully working, except for Microsoft’s cloud services such as Xbox Live and Windows Live Sync and Marketplace, but does bring things like 720P video recording to the device.

The download is available for logged in users at the DarkForces Team website here.

will be interesting to see comparisons between the HD2 and HD7, maybe it will put all the nay-sayers to bed. HD7 is a worthy replacement for the HD2.

No plans to to put this on my HD2 because it fills the gaps that are missing on my HD7

I'm trying to get the download files now. man, this 30 minutes is taking so long!!

hope everything will go well through the flashing stage. wish me luck!

EDIT: working good so far.

I hear they have found a way around the "live services" ban. Could you get them to work or have they not released it yet?

Lennard

yeah, everything is working. Live services and all. I was running Android on the HD2 before and now I don't think I'll be going back. lol.

mighty

really? Xbox live, marketplace, everything?I want a link to where you got the instructions to flash that ROM!!!

Lennard

The instructions are easy to find, it's the actual rom that isn't. I'm trying to find it again but can't. The big test to see if it will update when the copy and paste update comes out. I wonder if I'll have to wait for them to release another rom or will it treat my device just like a normal windows phone 7 Device. But i don't want to post anything on the site….even though all the info is right there on the net just shoot me an email if u want to know exactly how it was done.

Everything is up and running for me. And the process was quite straight forward, nothing hard. What I'm hoping though is that no one tries to be a smartass to try to hack into Xbox live because its then Microsoft will definitely lock down on this.

I'm also glad for this too because i can now test out my app on a device.

Typing this from the windows phone OS right now. With Android I wasn't able to comment into intensedebate matter what browser I used. But with WP7 i can!! And the browser even has spell check too something not even IE on the desktop has.
