Sorry, but are those really neccesary features?

Maybe solution: click usb video out and yes

I have tried the Usb Video Option a few times nothing change, but the phone video
gets slower and a bit laggy,

theres no reaction from Phone also no Reaction from PC,
I think it has something to do with the first Charge problem.

One more suggestion:

Get the battery out, and put it back in. you can try again then.

Let me know if it works

for the PC not being sync'd with your phone... try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=922000

This is a link to the DFRouter we used to use when WP7 was just unlocked and while using this, the phone would stop being sync'd with the PC. I dont know if it will help but I will be going home in 1 minute and try it myself after flash... jejeje

I added this one to the original post,,

I do personally not care as long as it charges

PC Sync

Alright... Tried the DFRouter all night from Zune mode to Router and back. Tried the USB Mode, HTC Sync, etc and nothing worked to sync. I have installed WMDC6.1 and Windows Phone Manager with no success, ZUNE still wont detect. (I am on Windows8).

Tried to turn on and off the device center app included and still cannot get to sync.

I like sync because I take ALOT of pictures and the AUTO upload to skydrive does not upload the FULL RES pictures. Also have alot of music that I like to keep going back and forth with... But I can live without this for a while. I will try BT Sync when I get home tonight as it did not occur to me while testing yesterday.

_______________________________

On another note, for those that dont want the Chinese apps on the phone, just install the english ones and it will overwrite them (DFT-Bluetooth and the WMDC app that are both in the Settings) once you have installed them they will show up on your regular list, you can then OPT to delete them or use them.

I've put it in description, prepare to say to everyone that you have windows phone 8 as one of the first ones xD

Well, with this ROM I am not able to charge my phone at all. Now I am stuck at an automatic shutdown loop. Am I able to charge my phone with the bootloader opened?

Edit: have to charge the battery via my old touch diamond 2, they're nearly identical in size. So I will be able to flash back to my previous ROM.

I think so, but also get your battery out, and put it back in. It's normally only the first time

I was going to report on this too... I was giving it the benefit of the doubt and waiting for the "FULL CHARGE" as it is reported with these ROMs that your first full charge wont report. But now I have given it a fully charged battery (From a Evo Shift, same like the diamond2

) and put it to charge, it still does not charge the phone.

Could this also be the reason our Sync is affected?

lordmago · Sep 23, 2012

no syncing and charging

I tried the ROM version for Gold, but since there's no battery charging, no ZUNE syncing and since I couldn't use cab sender to upload language cabs, I'm installing previous custom ROM and backup :fingers-crossed:.
Moreover, I couldn't see anything in the HTC Hub live tile, only the location name...
Honestly, I didn't try to use directly WP7EasyBackup to restore or WPV App Data Backup to get back my apps...

I have the feeling, that the entire USB port is disabled in some way. Maybe a faulty or wrong driver.

Should languages be in the rom itself, or should I give you them in packages?

Build it into the rom!

Give them in packages + easy to use manual
