[Windows Phone 7 General] Wyn6:
I was that close to purchasing an Android device last fall when I discovered WP7, although I wound up getting an android device free from T-mobile. But, it was indeed the UI that struck me. Actually, I don't even recall my exact moment of, "Hey. I want that."

But, the more I researched the more I knew that was where I was going, and the farther I moved away from the idea of Android. WP7 was new, fresh, and artfully done.

When I'm using my phone every single response I've ever gotten has been of the, "Wow! That's nice?! What kinda phone is that?" variety. Or, others saying, "Wow! That's that Windows Phone, huh?" It's the UI that gets them all.

Hell, I've even gotten T-mo and Verizon reps that gave me a, "Now that's cool!" after dogging the phone (WM) and then having an actual product demonstrated to them.

So, I would say that the vast majority of people acknowledge looks first. Whether it's a nice looking person, car, house, piece of jewelry, phone user interface, or what have you, our initial reactions are superficial. We gravitate towards things which are pleasing to the eye and WP7 is that for many people.

However, once we get past the "pretty" aspect it becomes about what lies underneath that appealing exterior. And, WP7 still holds up for the vast majority of folks who just want something that works and accomplishes everyday tasks with few headaches and/or hiccups.

I've already converted 7 people over to WP7 because of my phone. Might be 8. I'm not sure if my brother was gonna get one anyway or not.

But, agreed on the UI mention which of course leads to a great UX.
[Windows Phone 7 General] cbebop7:
wow that is the most illogical reasoning I have ever heard. So you are saying that iOS which is basically just a bluish static grid of icons and some glassy effects has tons of eye candy compared to WP7 with its elegant and yet lively interface. Just compare Apps such as MTV news, USA Today, Fox News with their iOS counterparts. And these are just v1 apps which will improve as devs get more comfortable with the design aesthetics of WP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] theo80:
I prefer the WP7 interface over the iPhone. I actually prefer my WM6.5 interface over the iPhone and WP7. At least with the WM6.5, you can change wallpapers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] kotaro_14:
They have Cydia that's why. Full customization. Look up Dreamboard. I mean you don't have to set anything up and bam your phone looks like HTC Sense, WP7, a Microsoft webpage, and much more. It's theming brought to it's utmost potential. Of course there are bugs since it is still in the early 1.xx stages. Installous.

I love my SGS II, 7 Launcher. Hehehe..
[Windows Phone 7 General] downloaderintruder:
Both iOS and Android are cool but can be boring. You may theme it to "look" like WP7 interface BUT you still miss the big deals like integration, unified apps, and live tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trax26:
and also perfect fludity ...
[Windows Phone 7 General] bricky23:
I have used the iPhone for a long time. And now have used android for a long time. Love flashing new roms and customizing. Hated windows mobile. To many menus and laggy. But I played with the HTC arrive, and loved it! Ever time I go to the sprint store, I go straight to it. When the new super phones come out with mango, I may have to switch.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wpghtc:
I bought an Acer A500, Moto Xoom, and Asus XFormer.

Returned them all.

The Asus kept calling to me and I decided to give it another go. Sadly I went through 5 of them.

Mostly due to excessive creaking or large debris under the glass.

I finally decided to live with the creaks because I could not justify spending more money for a tablet that was worse than the xformer.

Long story short...

Here is a super fast and cheap way to stop the creaks without spending a lot of money.

Gently pinch along the edge that creaks. Find the "worst" or "loudest spot".

Buy yourself the cheapest hard plastic screen protector you can find.

Cut a 1 inch long, 3/16 to 1/8 wide strip.

On the back of the unit, between the metal bezel and the plastic back is where we will insert a strip of plastic.

There are clips or something in some spots, so test the depth required. I cut a small strip used that as a depth gauge.

Most cheap screen protectors have 2 removable layers, leave them on, test depth and

tightness at the same time with test strip. If it is too tight, remove a layer and so on.

Pop it in and voila. No more creaking.

I made a slight angle cut in mine to allow easy removal.

Good luck!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Thank mate - Helpful post. Any chance of some pics? I am considering this solution.

I don't have "excessive" creaking but it still annoys me. mostly that I keep worrying that it's going to get worse.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wpghtc:
i could post a pic, but you can barely tell it is in there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ri3tn:
Would you be willing to post a short demonstration video? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ondoy1943:
How would you do that? He's already fixed the creaking thing; do you want him to unfix the tf101 by removing the insert and redoing the fix? :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eli.kennedy:
Oh I get it now...sorry just re-read your post and thought about it more carefully. Yeah a pic is a waste of time.

What screen protector did you buy?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wpghtc:
It was a crappy generic 4" screen protector from a mall kiosk that sells cheap cell phone stuff. Chinese made.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Elzbieta:
Lol...THANKS! This actually works! Lol
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wpghtc:

when I eating my lunch...

I try to think all command...that's very easy...

/system can rw Read/Write...

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

copy flash_image to /system/bin

#cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image

/system Read Only

#mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system

flash image......Done.....:D

So this Clockwork Mod Support LG Optimus One P500?

but i think what's different between Clockwork and recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg....

which is best Cuestom Recovery.....
[Optimus One, P500, V General] naturist:
both recoveries does their job well. Only limitation with Clockwork is it cant partition the ext to ext2 and ext3. The default is ext4. Rest recoveries are meant for flashing roms, you should compare roms instead of recoveries. :p
[Optimus One, P500, V General] hollowaysxp:
well....

thanks a lot...I don't want to my LG p500 become brick.

try like 123 easy flash Clockwork from ROM Manerger...

[XPERIA X10 General] DOWDAO:
O.k., i've been looking for almost 2 weeks and cannot find anywhere how to do this.

Now on apple devices you have UDID faker.

I have found android ID changer but it doesn't seem to work.

e.g. View attachment 667279

So basically, I got myself banned on purpose from a storm8 game to "hide links" from other gamers. needless to say it backfired and they went all nazi on me.

so i have rooted my Xperia X10a with superoneclick, I have the following apps downloaded:

Android ID changer

Titanium Backup

Busybox installer

AppAdmin

Superuser

Advanced Task Killer

Droid Tweaker

Link2SD

Now i understand that i may have to partition my SDcard.

I have also on my computer downloaded ADB, android-sdk_r12-windows, and java EE 6 sdk.

But for some reason when i have tried to follow the directions on how to partition your sd card, my phone will not boot up in recovery mode.

SO:

if failing being able to create multiple droid identities, how do I change my existing so that i can start a new storm8 game on my existing device???

by the way, i am definitely not a total noob, but them again i aint a software developer either. I know what probably needs to be done, just have no clue how to do it

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman82:
Hello all,

I am looking to move to a different ROM. I am currently on Cyanogenmod 7 Nightlies and have been for at least 4 months. Prior to this, I was on Myn's TwoPointTwo, but development seams to have stopped on that, although it was not bad when I was on it.

I would like a ROM that is mostly Gingerbread AOSP without a lot of mods. CM7 is nice, but I can't stand the WyContacts dialer/contacts/history app. I like them separate. I do like ADWLauncher, so that cooked in is fine.

I don't know if this is a CM7 problem or not, but WiFi Hotspot interferes with Bluetooth. Causes my calls to cut in and out like crazy.

Any suggestions would be great.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman82:
Thanks. I was eyeing that one...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmacevad:
My 2 cents is deck 1.2.1 with tiamat 4.0.6 with sbc. Blazing fast with regards to overclocking, not to mention a lot if free internal memory and available RAM. Battery drains quickly overclocked. Capable and stable at 1.226ghz (i think that's the setting) using Android overclock from the market. Also has built in advanced settings, similar to cm7's. A lot of nice tweaks in there. Just my experience. Hope it helps. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muzicman82:
Thanks! I've just flashed to Deck.

+1: the gingerbread-evo-deck has been my favorite AOSP ROM since it was released; currently at 1.2.1. I like the Go Launcher and Go Contacts so I've switched to them. Added Link2SD to utilize my Ext3 partition for apps, and that's about it. Throw all my apps on there, everything works and works great!

If you're interested, also works great with custom kernels by Savaged-Zen and Tiamat (currently using SZ 2.2.1). There are many great options, but IMHO you can only get different, not better.

Good luck, and thank you for your time.

Your post count is over 100 and you've been here for a year, and you could have just skipped over this thread completely after reading the title. So, the only reason that you opened this thread at all was to chastise the OP. So as you question why he committed the mortal sin of posting in the wrong area, you should also be asking yourself why it was so important for you to slam him with obscenities for it.

Personally, I'm far more annoyed when someone posts, "What's the battery life like?" in a thread with 500 responses including 60 responses to that same question that has already been asked 10-times in the same thread.

Yes, this was posted in the wrong area, but in my observation you get much better responses to such a question here than you will in Q&A because many users, myself included, rarely if ever go into the Q&A area. I'm not supporting posting in the wrong area, but I do understand why a question like this was posted here.

I have been on gingerbread-deck for almost 24 hours now. It is definitely fast.

That said, it still uses WyContacts. Do nearly all AOSP ROMs use that? Does Gingerbread not have it's own dialer and contacts apps?

If a ROM doesn't have ADW Launcher built-in, is the standalone version the only option or is there a way to kind of integrate it with Gingerbread? Any advantages to this?

Also how is the visual voicemail on Mango? Currently im using Magik mail and I love it. Im able to set different greetings for my voicemail.

The Nexus S 4G is plain vanilla android. I haven't followed the dev forum here too much since I'm not rooted, but you would want to find an AOSP rom. Cyanogen is AOSP but it has some goodies baked in, it wouldn't be a bad place to start though.
