[Windows Phone 7 General] ruscik:
Think about it this way wp7 marketplace is barely catching up to likes of android and ios. Why do you think any developers would bother redoing the apps for wp8. Paid apps maybe but not free apps so MS would be starting almost from scratch
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Thats a big ass dream. Entirely plausible, but very unlikely to come from Microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Am I misreading or is everyone else.

NVidia and Microsoft said Windows Phone 7 apps will be natively compatible with Windows 8 the PC OS.

What Eldar is suggesting is "WP8 os isn't compatible with wp7 on app level". Honestly, that would be the most ridiculous move MS could make in the whole WP existence.

That would be so stupid that I refuse to believe it. Unless WP8 had to run WP7 in some kind of sideloaded enviroment and even then why would MS scrap and start over again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Windows Phone 7 development uses XAML from Silver Light. Microsoft is dumping Silver Light. Perhaps Eldar misunderstood and thought they were getting rid of XAML and the development tools of Visual Studio 2010 for Windows Phone 8.

http://everythingexpress.wordpress.com/2011/11/17/news-microsoft-kills-silverlight/

Also, it is possible that the apps will all need to be retargeted and recompiled to take advantage of any OS benefits of Windows Phone 8. This was true of Mango to get the fast resume. All a dev needed to do is upgrade the SDK. Change the target platform in the project. Then rebuild. Done.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Hmm....Windows Mobile? Besides its not like they would be losing much by starting over again.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
They'd lose support from the developers of the existing 60k apps for sure. Not allowing WP7 apps to run on WP8 would be suicide. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see the development environment change to something closer to Windows 8. I just think we'll see compatibility for WP7 apps as well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I like the idea jvt put forward up there better.... recompile and carry on. It would on the other hand be a very effective weeding out process to trim down from 50000 redundant /replicative apps to ones that are solid and usable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fed44:
Silverlight is .net and the .net libs are platform independent. That means that 90% of your code is reusable either way. The goal is that you can take a shared library that contains your program logic and copy it from your windows pc to your phone without having to recompile or anything. The only thing that then needs rewriting is the user interface lib which must then take advantage of the underlying shared API. Infact it could even be that this is already the case. Either way anything in the future would only require little effort to sort out and if any w8 windows phone convergence happens that does cause incompatability, the mass amount of windows 8 support would be enough to make it neglible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Not entirely true. .NET libs are not entirely platform independant. Ever write an app for you phone in C# and try to run it on your PC. Or write it for you PC and run it on your Phone. It doesn't work.

Phones use a compact dot net framework. Windows Phone 8, might supply an updated compact version. This may be incompatible with the previous version, just as the version on Windows Phone 7 is not compatible with the 3.5 version on Windows Mobile 6.5.

In fact, Windows 8 For Tablets is supposed to be getting WinRT.

Here is a negative slanting article, but seems pretty accurate with some exceptions.

http://www.i-programmer.info/profes...3323-windows-phone-7-sunk-by-silverlight.html

I suspect the tablets will also support a dot net compact framework for some time to come.

I've heard from multiple reliable sources at work and through different training companies that Silverlight is done. Development with it is just for phones (for now).

I am hoping they provide some XAML migration, so apps can be easily converted.

Actually, when reading the comments following the video here: http://www.neowin.net/news/former-microsoft-pm-silverlight-is-dead

XAML is coming to C++. With WinRT, C++ and native programming will be in Windows 8 on tablets.

XAML is the mark up language ued by Silverlight. Silverlight uses C#. But, since the programmer uses XAML to define the UI and Silverlight is used to glue it to the C# backend, something else could easily tie the XAML to the backend, so a minimal amount of work would be needed to to rebuild the apps affter Silver Light goes off into the sunset.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dragonide:
What MS meant was Windows 8, not Windows Phone 8. WP8 is, of course, an upgrade of WP7.

They said this because initially they said that crossing apps between windows 8 and phone 8 was possible.

He's been such a douché since MS wouldn't let him run the official MS Russia site...

[HTC Sensation] SoapMacTavish3:
Hello !

I searched on Google and I didn't find anything concluent so I came to XDA to ask you this.

I downloaded the HTC Sensation kitchen to cook roms. Before I read all the tutorials about it, I just want to know if it is safe to atypical AOSP roms based on Cyanogen with framereswork.apk from Samsung or LG roms. :D

It may sound silly but I want to make new roms with new UIs because I don't really like the Sense UI , never did...

So what do you think about that ?

EDIT: My principal fear is to brick my sensation... but I can always revert this no ? Via Fastboot USB or some other software no ? ( Like what i did when i bricked my old X10 )
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
You won't brick it by swapping the framework-res.apk if you do. It might just not boot up.
[HTC Sensation] SoapMacTavish3:
Okay so I'd still be able to boot into bootloader and recovery and restore my last working rom ?

In fact I would like to know if it's possible to use another framework-res.apk with every AOSP ROM like Cyanogenmod or Virtuous Quattro ( cuz I'm pretty sure My sensation won't boot if I put a Touchwizz based framework-res.apk into a Sense Rom but I don't know if it would work in AOSP Roms ).

Voila ! thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
Hi guys,

three days ago I installed Darkyrom HD on my mates Galaxy S2, everything went smooth. But 10 minutes ago he called and said that the phone woudn't turn on!

He says he can't get response out of it. No recovery or hard reset with nor without battery in.

Don't hope it's perma bricked and it seems weird that it suddenly wont turn on.

Any ideas/help?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JRO001:
At the same time press volume up + home button + power on to enter CWM.

Is his battery charged?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Does it get a response if holding down the power button for 8-10 sec? This will essentially reboot the phone regardless of what state it is in. If your buddy's been hit with the "sleep of death", this will boot the phone. Though I think this is a low probability if he tried pulling battery and putting it back.

Does it get a response if plugging it into the AC adapter? On the off chance the battery is completely dead. I'd like to think he tried this, though.

Has he tried another battery? Could be the battery lost the ability to hold a charge. Not common, but not unheard of either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
Doesn't seem to help. But I've told to let it charge the night and try again.

Any particular this happens? Seems random that it suddenly wont turn on.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Any particular reason? Sure. Most often, because the user installs something or flashes something they are not supposed to, to their phone. Or dropped it in water.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
This is what I did:

- Flashede an insecure kernel

- Rootede and installed busybox

- Downloaded Darky's OTA

- Downloaded og installed his kernel (SuperCore)

- Bootede in CWM and installed his ROM
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I wasn't trying to say YOU installed or flashed something. Maybe he did. Can I assume the phone was working when you gave it back to him? And that it was working fine for the three days after? Or was the phone in YOUR possession until he called you today?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
I haven't had phone since i installed it. But I honestly don't think i he flashed anything.

He went out to jog - phone worked (listening to music)

He came home and placed the phone on the table - Phone worked

He did some exercises and when he came back - phone all black, can't get any response
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You said he tried a battery pull? And no response after replacing battery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Sure his battery is just not dead, bit odd if it had been working and suddenly this happens.

Most cases an app or something can cause the phone to restart, or freezes, usually a hard reset solves this by holding down the power button for about 10 seconds.

Or entering recovery mode, or download mode just to ensure they are working.

Make sure he can charge the battery.

If all fails you may need to try a jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
No response afer he pulled the battery.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm. Try a different battery. If that doesn't work, warranty time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
We are trying to get another battery. In the meantime I've ordered a USB Jig that hopefully will turn the beast on!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If not you will need to reflash to stock rom as warranty void with root or custom rom ..

JTag may be your next step .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Judaas:
try to get into download mode (vol. down, home and standby button) then you can flash a firmware
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
READ the post please before answering .

We are trying to get another battery. In the meantime I've ordered a USB Jig that hopefully will turn the beast on!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prozel:
It wasn't the battery. But we've found someone that can repair it for 25 pounds + shipping. So if the USB jig doesn't work, it's going to them! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammester:
I had done the auto root w/o odin on EK02. I just received the OTA update for EL29 and installed it. Reading the auto root thread it makes it says if I want root +cwm I need to use odin. If I just want the root can I use the auto root or do I still need to use odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Question, if you were rooted how did you receive the OTA update? I thought rooted devices would cause the OTA to fail?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] _MetalHead_:
The exploit used in auto root was plugged in EL13 + newer so it no longer works. Sfhub made a pre-rooted one click odin package that you can use. It has a no data version that doesn't overwrite any of your stuff and allows you to keep all your settings. It's just as easy as using auto root. If you want CWM after flashing this then you can go ahead and use auto root to flash whatever kernel +CWM you want.

Here- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hammester:
Since I used the auto root it did not effect the OTA update. I just made sure any changes that I did make that I needed root access for I changed back to it's original state.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
So right now the awesome developers are working on the ICS SDK Port, and CyanogenMod 9, which has not been released to the public, is also being worked on for the Epic and is actually more functional than the ICS SDK Port. What is the current status on the development of the ICS port and CM9? Are there other ICS-based projects being worked on, such as a complete ICS Port (non-SDK), ROMs like MIUI 4, etc?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00145:
Check in general, there should be a thread that gives the status of CM9. And there's a video as well.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
And there is a WIP thread on the ICS port in Development you can read.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
The sdk port is dead. I got later source built ports from the charge booting, but not much worked. Let's just wait for cm9
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
You are are only hope obi-wan cm9.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Miui4 will be ported too. And I'd also like to get some manufacturer uis like blur sense and xperiaui
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Thanks for that. May try MIUI for the first time this weekend. Is there any chance of getting WiMax on MIUI4? Or is it that it will never be available because there is no WiMax in China?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Same thing with the Chinese. According to qbking77 and noobnl cm9 is getting ready and almost perfect other than the memory leak and some issues with camera.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Afaik no. Ics shouldn't change anything in that regard. For a more detailed explanation, read my most recent posts in the miui thread
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
Although the SDK port is dead, will it ever be possible for stock ICS to be ported to the Epic? And from the video, it appears as though CM9 looks just like stock ICS. I'm assuming it will be like stock ICS but with the cyanogenmod features? It doesn't seem like the UI is different the way it's different on CM7. And as for MIUI 4 (which I have high hopes for) will the Epic get any of the MIUI 2 versions, or will it go straight from a v1 to v4? Thanks for the info!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
:D CM9 goodness!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2r7anSiI5I we're very close guys!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxfanj:
Its not v1. V4 is just ics. By that number scheme, we're on v2.3. And v3 would be honeycomb, so its straight from v2.3 to v4. And if you're talking about the 2012 like 2.1.6, miui.us is skipping those releases for most devices and focusing on ics, which is what I'll do too.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] di14:
ok, thanks, i meant it like MIUI 2.1.6, so we're going from MIUI 1.12.13 (i forget what version it is) to an ICS based MIUI right? That sounds good.

Rooted. Removed bloatware. Installed V6 Supercharger. Haven't unlocked bootloader and using stock Class 2 Micro SD, yet my old Moto Droid is faster at Mario Kart.

When using N64oid, I am getting full speed for 90% of the race, BUT it lags heavily at random times and the video sticks, but audio continues, making the game somewhat unplayable when it resumes, because I'm at 8th place.

I'm am also suffering from poor emulation from other emulators (Mame4droid, etc). The only thing I'm satisfied is with PSXperia, which runs well, FF7 may run slow with SW rendering on, but it's definitely playable.

I have brought this up in other threads, but it seems that every thread I read people constantly talk about how they have less "bars" than another device. I don't know if this is ICS related, ASUS related, or what, but "bars" do not mean the same thing on this device compared to others.

Please use Tricoder/WiFi Analyzer and not "bars" as your reference of connectivity. (or, speedtests)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Buff McBigstuff:
Might be ICS related. My Galaxy Nexus always has low bars but when I look at the dBm it is slightly better than the GB Sprint phone next to it showing full bars. My Galaxy Nexus also shows low wifi signal just like my TFP.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mrke1:
/agree

Bars can be misleading.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ride525:
1. If I understand it right, WiFi Analyzer shows the relative strength that each device is getting. But is that necessarily directly related to speed of the Wifi?

2. When you said "(or speedtests)" did you mean to use them or not to use them? I find the Speedtest on each device give an actual real world idea of download speed at that time.

3. I've used WiFi Analyzer quite a bit and don't see a lot of difference when looking with two different tablets. But I do see a difference using Speedtest.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Tried the program and didnt see much of a difference between Prime and my acer a100 besides GPS of course. Is there anything specific I should be looking at?

---------- Post added at 01:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

This is my result with speedtest.net. Left is acer a100 and right is Prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] redpoint13:
What are you trying to figure out? My only point was I see post after post of people saying they have less "bars" than another device but that isn't a good way to gauge signal or throughput.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Gotcha. So I guess I don't have a bad wifi

you can tell from this pic which tablet has the better screen :D

weird.. is it just me or is your upload faster than your download?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PolishPoet:
For some reason, especially in a weaker signal are, my iPad speeds are almost better than download. I think that OS strange too

Ya that is weird. But I'm not complaining =)

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 PM ----------

You mean the prime to the right looks a little dull? The acer a100 screen isn't bad at all its just that one angle viewing from the bottom. Some games or apps looks way sharper on it.
[HTC Rezound] _pank:
Sorry but coming from a DX flashing was very easy. Flashing the Rezound is easy as well but I'm a bit lost on one issue.

When I flash a Kerel a PH98IMG.ZIP is created. I complete all of the steps but then can't get out of HBOOT because the PH98IMG.ZIP is still on my SD Card.

How do you delete the file via HBOOT? Was finally able to get out of HBOOT by putting my SD into my wife's phone and deleting it. But I'd rather delete or at least rename the file via the SDK.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] a.mcdear:
After you flash it, you just simply reboot your phone and delete it... simple as that.

OR, you put the SDCARD into something else, like you did, and delete it.. but you only run into this if you're trying to get into recovery using the VOL-DN + POWER method while PH98IMG.zip is still present in your SDCARD root... if you're simply rebooting the device it will skip HBOOT entirely and just boot into android where you can remove it with any file manager or the terminal emulator app.
[HTC Rezound] _pank:
Thanks for the reply.

But, I tried that and no luck, even did a battery pull and tried it again. Maybe just a fluke???
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
If you have a PC. wait until you hit hboot. Don't press anything. Plug into your PC and use the command "adb reboot recovery" AmonRa has a USB-MS mount command that will allow you to mount to your PC and remove the file.

Or as stated above, turn the phone off, remove SD card and boot. One of the guys here had a wicked trick for it but I don't remember how it went.
[HTC Rezound] _pank:
I'm on a Mac and did do the reboot recovery and it still went to HBOOT. But I am using Amom and was not aware of the USB mount. Assuming that you just go to recovery (if I can) and go to mount option, then I will see the option?

Thanks a ton MrSmith :)
[HTC Rezound] DigiDave:
after the boot.img is flashed it asks if you would like to reboot. after rebooting and your phone is on, mount your sd card, locate the file and then delete.
[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Found this fix on TeamBAMF. Hope it helps...

http://www.teambamf.net/showthread.php?t=3981
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Yes, assuming you can get into recovery, you can mount the SD card(to your PC) in recovery and remove the PH98IMG.zip file.
[HTC Rezound] _pank:
Thanks all, I'll give it a go next time that happens.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
I'm not sure quite what happened there but it sounds like you may have to reflash your phone. Unless you backed up first with CWM?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] meghanath reddy:
i already tried the re flashing
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Ticklefish:
What did you reflash? What you might have to do is completely reflash the entire phone by using either SEUS or Flashtool.

SEUS will take your phone back to standard stock. Stock rom, stock kernel, stock everything. It does mean you'll have to reinstall your apps, contacts, recovery and so on but it does reset your phone and should fix whatever problem you have.

If it doesn't, then something has gone seriously wrong. :(
