[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xiaq:
Though I'm not replying with transaction ID, I AM SERIOUS. I just got a MT4GS and was quite satisfied with the hardware, but being an old CM (CyanogenMod for Milestone, an official port with excellent quality thanks to its great developer nadlabak) user Sense can be disappointing in every sense (except the cute colorful icons of the Settings menu).

I have quite some Linux development experience, a little embedded system experience, and (hopefully) a friend who is doing Android driver development, so I'm looking forward to participating in porting CM to MT4GS. However, by any means NO GUARANTEE here; therefore I'm not asking nor accepting any donation (for now). I can start the development at most as early as the Chinese winter vacation begins (which is roughly Jan. 15th next year).

Additionally, some words on porting CM to MT4GS: MT4GS and MT4G share quite some hardware, so development should start as porting MT4G's CM to MT4GS. The major difference between the two models, namely the hi-resolution rear camera and the dual-core CPU would pose the main challenge. The keyboard should be trivial; but I really appreciate the design of Caps Lock and Alt Lock light and making it work may take some time.

We are not getting any cm7 support until HTC releases the source code needed to produce an aosp based rom (The Kernel) So you guys need to chill for a bit. We are stuck with sensed base roms until then.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xiaq:
I haven't got much experience in ROM development, so I'm quitely likely to wrong; if so, point me out.

Yes, we are not getting official CyanogenMod support because we can't build an AOSP kernel (yet). But after all, Android (and CyanogenMod) is mostly about the Dalvik VM, which is fortunately above the kernel. Thus a port is not necessarily an official one with an AOSP kernel.

The Motorola Milestone, for instance, has its bootloader locked, which leads to locked kernel, but the developer (nadlabak) was able to build a CyanogenMod port on top of the stock kernel - that is, the init scripts, a customized Dalvik VM, and all the system apk's. Modification of the kernel is still possible through dynamic loading of kernel modules (.ko files), which is quite tedious but nevertheless still possible. The Milestone port of CM is by any means CM except the kernel which is stripped from stock ROM and included as a binary blob along with everything else built from scratch (or from source, from AOSP, from CM).

The case with MT4GS is a little better and a little worse. It is a little better because MT4GS has an open bootloader and therefore we can use a customized kernel as soon as we can build one. (In the case of Milestone, the locked bootloader will only load kernels signed by Motorola.) It is a little worse because Milestone has a sister model with almost identical hardware (Motorola Droid) with official CM support; the closest model to MT4GS with official CM support is MT4G, which is still substantially different.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You are comparing apples to oranges my friend.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] xiaq:
As I claimed, I'm likely to be wrong. But, care to explain a little bit? I'm not a native speaker and I don't quite get the simile.

Also, I'm curious about where I can find out whether HTC has released, for any certain model, the code necessary to build a kernel. Please share some links.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sprintguy1376:
So.. webOS.. can't be installed on the epic, or any other Android device.. I know that..

But I miss it.. and if I had a TouchPad I probably wouldn't miss it as much.. but they're impossible to get for their retail price...

So the question I ask.. how about a launcher.. that mimics it's actions? Not itchingthumb.. It's very unrefined and the performance is bad.. hasn't seemed to get better in the year I've kept trying to love it.

But a straight up Launcher replacement app that acts like webOS.. but actually has decent performance. With the launcher button and a couple of short cuts on the bottom bar.. and pressing home brings you to a view of all your open apps.. and flicking up closes them!

Also, I'm sure there would need to be some alterations done to Android's multitasking system.

Anyone think it's possible?

Hy everybody,

first of all, I'm sorry for the very bad english, I come from Italy and studied english some years ago...

I've built the NDT SENSE 3.0 PYRAMID BASED V5.0 rom this morning, and had an issue with bluetooth... I'd like to associate my HD2 europe with a Cellular Line BTC6 bluetooth headset I bought a month ago... When I used it with the Typhoon Cyanogenmod 7 I had no problem at all, but now with the new rom I can't associate it anymore... I think this issue is caused by the fact that the headset is bluetooth 2.0, and in settings->hardware info of my phone is written bluetooth 3.0 instead, but I don't think it's 3.0 indeed. What can I do?? I hope you can understand, but if not, please tell me and I'll try to explain in a better way my problem...

Thank you in advance,

greetings

Francesco

Hmm maybe you should post that in the thread of the ndt rom because they can help you better than the common guys here ;)

Maybe the rom has Bluetooth issues since its a sense 3.0 rom, but as I said the dev or anybody else reading the ndt pyramid thread can help you better I think.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuseflower:
Hello

I just got an Atrix today on ATT. Before I bought it, I checked online to make sure that it supports the PAN profile - which it said it did.

The reason that I want this is so I can tether my IPad (non-jailbreak) to my Atrix using bluetooth.

I know that wireless exists, but I want something that will be easy on the batteries for my phone.

I have tried the older version of "Wireless Tether" but that keeps saying that my phone is in an unknown state when I try to turn on bluetooth tether.

I did root my phone - but nothing else. Can someone please help me get bluetooth PAN working on my phone so I can tether my ipad to it?

Thanks in advance

You need to have the proper drivers installed on your computer for it to work. If you're on Windows, download HTC Sync and it will give you the proper drivers. If you're on OSX, you'll have to follow one of the several guides out there to trick your system into doing a USB net connection.

Would it be possible for someone to list the major pros & cons of WP7, 'cos I haven't been able to try it out yet.

Thanks in advance.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Jay_uk1185:
For me its about the user interface and the stability. To give you an idea - I have an iPad and was an iPhone user from the first until the 3GS. I then used a Nexus One for 18 months.

Windows phone offers a better interface than iOS in that it puts emphasis on the information rather than pointless Chrome and interface elements like buttons etc. Its the only mobile OS thats actually innovative in its approach to displaying info.

In terms of stability it knocks the socks off of android because the thing actually does what it says it will all of the time. With Android i always feel like its hit and miss.

However what i will say is that the quality and the reach of the apps needs to improve. now Ms has sorted out the multi tasking and notifications service with Mango it will take some decent competitive apps to keep me here as i have been flirting with Android again recently. ( for example the Twitter app has no notifications, birdsong aint bad but only polls every 5 minutes).

Hope this help!

You will be on to a winner with WP7 to be honest. It certainly presents the information in a far better and more innovative way than any of the competition and certainly works far more reliably.

The only caveat is that up until you have Mango - the live tile updates are terribly unreliable. (These are the widget-type tiles on the start screen)

yup can't go wrong with wp7 everything is much faster and cleaner while android and iOS are just offering specs and graphics, wp7 is offering real usability and features.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
Pro:

The performance is superb. No Android phone (even with dual-core) can match Windows Phone's. Apps rarely crash and rarely lags.

The whole WP OS UI carries a unified theme and even 3rd party apps seem to use the same theme.

The OS itself is very integrated. Many features that come build in to the WP OS are separate apps on other platform.

Con:

Lack of customization. You don't like how the WP OS looks? Too bad.
[Windows Phone 7 General] omnomnomkimiiee:
The OS's look is the first reason I'd move to wp. The integration astounded me, we're only seeing it appear in iOS 5 (I'm a beta tester), and as for Android ...

I'd heard of the hardware stability, that'd be a definite plus+. Can't wait to try it out !

[Windows Phone 7 General] samsabri:
I look at WP7 as having the best of both iOS and Android.

On one hand you have the Android approach of different handset makers and a choice in hardware. Like Apple, Microsoft is showing tight control over the OS. So between two WP7 handsets you aren't going to see a huge difference in terms of how the OS performs. The biggest problem I have had with Android in the past is how the user experience is vastly different between two phones, especially when hardware manufacturers start skinning the OS.

You honestly can't go wrong with WP7, especially with the Mango update around the corner.

[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Pros

:

WP7 is fast & stable

Does what it does very well

You can get in & get out fast

Integration

No "real" need for flashing custom ROM's

The UI is clean & easy to read

Cons

:

If you're like me & like "hacking" your device, Mango killed Homebrew (Hopefully we'll find ways around this)

Customization (If you like the UI exactly as is, not an issue for you)

Lack of choices in certain functionality

3rd party apps are a bit immature

In the end I suggest going to your local carrier's store & playing with a display model or if a friend has one play with it. The best thing about WP7 is it's performance. Someone said that touching the screen is like touching the pixels. This is a very good analogy, because what ever you do (in most cases), the device reacts to your inputs almost instantaneously. You can't really see any lag except in maybe some 3rd party apps & especially homebrew, but with homebrew, that's performance issues of the hacks currently being used. The last couple days I've been playing with my ex's Android & it feels so slow. Granted it's a cheap no name $50 Metro PCS one, but still. When I try to scroll throw the apps list, it takes a few seconds for my touch inputs to actually be displayed. The screen has a delay of input of scroll to it actually scroll. Everything I try to do takes so long to do.

Than again, I don't understand why she even has an Android device or smartphone in general. She never setup a Google account, which i had to do to access the market for an app for her. She wants to record a couple voicemails. So, I installed a call recorder app for her. She never setup her home screen. It has 5 "tabs" or what ever their called on Android & she only has the stock icons on the main tab & a music player on another. Nothing else setup.

As for 3rd party apps on WP7, yes they're a bit lacking, but I hardly ever use any. I have a few games & 3rd party apps installed, but most of what I do is handled by the core WP7 functionality.

EDIT: Just a little correction to the person who mentioned Chrome. WP7 does indeed have the "Chrome" element of the UI. The Status Bar at the top that auto hides is Chrome & so is the Menu Bar. It just auto hides & in some apps, isn't there at all (aka fullscreen mode).
[Windows Phone 7 General] eric12341:
u earned a thanks from me. I do believe that th apps will get better once the mango ones hit the marketplace. I rarely use them tho as like yourself almost everything I do can be done in the OS on its own
[Windows Phone 7 General] hardcoreplur:
I am on mango, here is my list:

Pros:

Smoothness

The live tiles (I know it sounds like the windows phone catchphase but mango upped the info and style of them and made them a powerful tool)

Social network intergation (having the people and messaging hubs allow you to do 80% of the stuff that you do on it I.E. Facebook and having the cache locally instead of waiting for an app to pull it live from the site.

Search and bing vision, audio, local scout (having it all at your fingertip)

Tellme! The voice command is awesome and I sometimes use it to show off =)

Metro UI, simple and clean and easy to look at

IE it is the smoothest browser around, no checkering

Cons:

Customization

Playing app catchup (mango should fix it and see a lot of ports from iOS and android very soon)

Video scrubbing

No way to bring back toast notications

The biggest thing is once you start use wp7, it grows on you and you find ways to do what you want and most of the time it is a better way than on any other device.
