I think I misunderstood your previous answer.

I think those big names make apps for the platforms which they perceive as successful and profit making plus they receive all the needed dev tools.

And reach agreements..
[Windows Phone 7 General] weijoon:
JFYI, WP's developers need to pay an annual fees of 99 USD to be able to submit apps to marketplace, and MS DID make some checking before the apps approved.

And I believe that either Android market or iOS appstore had the same problems with thousands (or maybe millions) of crapwares and only hundred (to thousands) of quality apps. I think you should see the whole picture by refering the ratio of good apps vs bad/crapwares then you might be able to figure out that WP is actually doing quite OK for now.

And maybe my statement is wrong because I'm not some kind of app whore (no offense means).

Cheers.

Anyone seen NBA game time? This is really pushing it, and very frustrating... :/
[Windows Phone 7 General] CADude:
Lack of apps is a huge weakpoint for many people. I don't care what people say about "quality" being the issue. Most people don't even KNOW what quality even means and they use their slow Facebook and Twitter apps anyway. It's simply the lack of choices involved. If there was simply an app for nearly everything people use, people would happily switch, regardless of app quality. Once people start owning the devices and complain about quality, THEN you'll see the quality go up.

The biggest issues keeping WP down are the lack of marketing here in the US, the lack of quality handsets, and the lack of API's available to developers, who would happily make apps for a platform like Windows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
There is such a discrepency with opinions about wp7. One side says they don't need apps, because wp7 has them all at the core. The other side says apps are needed and will come if/when the platform comes mainstream... but its often the same people saying both.

I've seen wp7 commercials on tv, the internet, stores, billboards, even flashing jumbotron-like LED signs on the way home from work. What I haven't seen is interest from folks. The occasional person using a wp7/zune device in the wild is so rare.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
In my opinion WP7 doesn't only need apps. It sure does, but there's way more than that. Since it's a Microsoft product, WP7 should tie in deeper Windows 7, XBox, Skydrive and such. WP7 has to have more "uniqueness" than the UI.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
plus one one
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I think in regards to addressing such demands from developers, Microsoft's suggestion box is an amazing tool! It has released suggestion box for devs and end users. For end users, there is an app as well released yesterday or day before in the market.

The following APIs suggestions are under review and I won't be surprised if they are included with Apollo (don't think Tango will have more than 5 changes!)

sms api - to back up texts

bluetooth data transfer api

Native SDK to support C++ dev and Qt support

Skydrive api to back up isolated storages and app data

Allow applications with push notifications to display notifications on lock screen

Allow creating screen shots

VPN support

In-app purchasing/payments

Write access to calendar and contacts for better integration with 3rd party apps

I think these were the things we have often discussed in various threads, that we felt was 'lacking' and should have been there from day 1. Well they din't include them since day 1, suffered the loss in market in last 1 year and now that they are listening and probably including them in next version, I think it's a good thing.

Also many feature requests from end users have gone under review/started too, but they won't be much of an interest as far as developing the OS is concerned.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
I think they have started it off already e.g. the Xbox companion app
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
Skydrive API has recently been released if I recall correctly. So apps and games could already make use of it. Never the less, this isn't something that is bound to WP7 so it's independent from updates.

In-app purchasing is already possible as well. An article on WPCentral covered this topic a few days ago: take a look.

Sure thing, but this should only be the beginning. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] drupad2drupad:
Yes definitely a beginning! But there seems to be an opinion that all these should have been there since day 1!

But then obviously from Windows point of view, there are people who don't need all these feature packed stuff, they want to rid of their boring/buggy OS, so they will still buy so called 'limited-featured' OS. So I think, those looking for feature packed OS, their day 1 will be with Apollo ;)

[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
So, I received my Evo 3D in the mail today (R.I.P. OG Evo) and the first thing I did was check the hboot version to see how easy it would be for me to root it.

Well, my brand new, never been opened Evo 3D came with hboot 1.40. :D :D :D

I'm of course starting out with Warm 2.3 since I've been wanting to try it for months, but I'm open to any other suggestions for great ROMs. :)

[Optimus One, P500, V General] excalq:
Current as of December 28, 2011 (As far as I'm aware)

Being relatively new to Android customization, I figured it would be useful to share the steps I stumbled through to get a completely stock LG Optimus V (VM670) (2nd Gen) rooted and running the ICSandwich2.3.7 ROM.

First of all, it should be obvious, but ICSandwich2.3.7 is NOT 4.0, but Android 2.3.7 with a ICS-style theme on it... in case anyone was wondering/didn't read carefully and got excited...

Also, the Optimus V has TWO generations, if you bought your phone after August 2011, it is probably second gen, and most of the Recovery systems won't work. I had to use "xionia_cwma" to get recovery to work properly.

So here goes... I left version numbers and direct file links out, since they're always changing, and due diligence will find the newest version of everything.

1. Root phone with GingerBreak (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044765)

2. Install TitaniumBackup from the Market, and back everything up (using batch operation)

3. Mount via USB to a PC, copy the TitaniumBackup data from your phone to your PC.

4. Install "FlashImageGUI.apk" via PC/USB/SD card (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1045797)

Use this to install a "recovery" system. ROM Manager doesn't work for 2nd gen Optimus V

5. I could not get other recovery systems to work on the 2nd gen Optimus V, only Xionia's worked. (http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...covery-xionia-clockwork-cwma-v1-2518-6-a.html)

Download "xionia_cwma_xxxxx.zip" onto your USB mounted phone via a PC.

6. Install "xionia_cwma" recovery system using FlashImageGUI

7. Reboot into recovery system (may take ~10s to boot, wait)

8. BACK YOUR **** UP! (From inside recovery)

9. Reboot phone and copy this data (sd-card/clockworkmod/backup/yyyy.mm.dd.xx.xx.xx) to your PC.

10. Find your OS ROM you'd like to install (signed_ICSandwich2.3.7-FINAL-ThaUnknownArtist-xxxxxxxxxx.zip in this case), and copy it from your PC to your SD card via mounted USB.

11. Copy gapps-gb-full-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip to your SD card as well.

12. Reboot into recovery, prepared and backed up. YOUR PHONE WILL BE WIPED NEXT!

13. Clear cache, wipe data, and go to advanced, find "Toggle signature verification", toggle it to disabled. And clear "Dalvik cache"

14. Now do load zip from SD card, install the OS ROM zip package.

15. If that's successful, do the same for GoogleApps (gapps) (NOTE: I did this after first booting into the new ROM install, although I don't think it's required)

16. Reboot - it will take a while on first boot - and bask in the GLORY!

17. Install TitaniumBackup from the market and reinstall your backed up USER APPS and DATA (DON'T RESTORE SYSTEM APPS!)

(To do this use, "SettingsButton -> Batch -> [Restore Section] Restore missing apps with data")

Hope someone finds this useful. This is what I spent about 6+ hours figuring out by trial, error, and reading 49 page forum threads :p
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Think-DPr:
Happy Holidays everyone!!!

I'm hoping some of the developers and gTablet users may be able to answer this for me. I'm running my gTab using the Flashback 10.3 rom.

I wonder why some games such as Dead Space have compatibility issues with gTab? GTA3 works fine and it renders well on the gTab. How about games with minor graphics requirements such as Plants vs. Zombies... not compatible(?) with a Tegra 2 tablet device??? I know my limited knowledge of programming may make this Q seem inconsequential to most but I beg some indulgence.

If there are work-arounds to get some of the high quality games to work with the gTab running a FB10.3 rom then, I'd like to know about them too.

Thanks in advance!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qkster:
I'm not an expert in the field by any means.

From my understanding, it has to do with the underlying kernel running your ROM and whichever ROM you're running.

Viewsonic/tegra has not supported this tablet beyond FROYO 2.2

ex: Vegan 5.1.1 on the froyo kernel, Pop Cap games will run - such as PvZ

moving up to 2.3GB CM7 or 3.0 HC, some games may work, others may not.

I think there was a list posted a while back with roms ran which games.

you may have to experiment with different roms or kernels to see what works for what games

there is also another board/forum that has a lot of users as well...you may have to google it (i think post links to other boards is frown upon)

R Speaking with personal experience with 2 different Samsung phones, anyone not using the actual 4.02-03 updates on xda for your phones because of voiding warranty, both my rooted nexus s, and gs2 were sent in for broken touch screens they fixed didn't care one bit!! I paid nothing they also paid shipping, Also cool thing about Galaxy N is u can use program called Odin ( its software made by Samsung) to get back to stock rom after anything u do even most "bricking )u can also relock boot loader ( Google themselves released directions on how to.do this ) so Samsung would never no.anyway . so with all the knowledge here on xda no.reason to wait for Google they already put out here for us .

If you would read the thread, your questions would be answered:

1) You do not necessarily need a custom recovery;

2) You need one of the following three: unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, root;

3) You make is sound like the process is long and complicated to do the update - it is very simple (as is flashing one zip file to get root if you so desire). Should take no more than a few minutes.

4) A lot of individuals like the stock ROM -- they just want the latest version of it. No need to flash a custom ROM.
