[HTC One S] sh500:
Wait a couple of weeks until T-mobile get it and ask them to do a price match (or better it). I just did this with the Xperia S and they beat the current £21.50 O2 deal by nearly £100 (over a 24 month period).
[HTC One S] ascot17:
Yeah that is my plan ;)

Have already refused the retention department's current offer. Just waiting for them to start stocking the One S (after April 5 presumably) and I will try again.
[HTC One S] sh500:
Yeah, as always the case, the first offer they make you isnt usually even tempting.

The second person I spoke to said "they were from a slightly different department" and therefore were able to better the original offer...hmmmm, nothing to do with the fact a competing provider had a better deal - oh and of course the customary threat to leave :D

I like the look of the One S but the screen resolution and 16GB limit on storage is off putting. I have to last the phone for the next two years so need to look ahead. The One X is simply to big (4.7") for me.

Not seeing many reviews on the net for either of the S or X.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
What a difference a day makes. All the O2 £21.50 offers have disappeared today...!
[HTC One S] sh500:
http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/phone/xperia_s_from_sony/?&cid=ppcgoo&gclid=CNPT9vKn9q4CFS4NtAodSzY7xw

There are still a couple of places doing them, although o2 direct is not one of them. Seemed a bit strange as to why they were much cheaper than all other providers. just a one week promotion i guess.
[HTC One S] ascot17:
I meant the HTC One S offers, not the Xperia but thanks anyway...
[HTC One S] sh500:
Oh, I must have missed all of the £21.50 offers on the One S...

Nice ROM, Thank you so much:) Hope you complete v1.2 as soon as with more improvements :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] yakaaithiri:
can we expect a equivalent samsung focus ROM ?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] djadry:
Really nice. I'll wait some feedbacks and more languages included :D
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] faria:
I would like to say yes, but i haven't got the focus and so far wp7 has proved to be very picky about what we can change in the rom, therefore making very difficult to test, never the less i will do some research about it.

as for other request, the plan is to also release a build with other languages one we get them:)

Regards

faria.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceesheim:
nice work faria , cool to see some more Tango rom's here.

let us make all happy :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] irlju:
Sorry, but I refuse to use these ROMs with butt-ugly themes pre-installed. You don't mix the flat nature of Metro with these silly glassy backdrops. I'd suggest you keep the look default and emphasise the ability to use custom themes.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceesheim:
WOW , ok thats the cool thing about custom rom's , YOU DON'T NEED TO FLASH THEM IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT !!!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] AndrewSh:
Faria - go commit suicide! Straight away!!!! You can not go on living, knowing this... :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] irlju:
Here's the thing - what kind of value do you think you are adding to the device by skinning it? You're providing an uglier, fragmented UI - things that Android OEMs are hated for.

Didn't mean to offend you personally, but all these custom ROMs I'm checking out are stuffed with bloat. If you go back to the roots with Windows Mobile or Android, custom ROMs are to get rid of the clutter. I don't see why Windows Phone tweakers think they should do the opposite.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] faria:
Thanks for the feedback, the idea is to have a black backdrops but so far I had no success I changing the font color.

In the same note, I refuse to to wear pink trousers! Just because my wife likes it I m not forced to wear them. I will explain reasons behind the theme later on.Have a nice day.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] faria:
Here is the reason behind the theme…..

The theme is part of a bigger project to customize all the icons in the rom , this will look great with a black backdrop/accents and will gives us better battery due to the nature of the screen.

As you may know , or not, using the same theme colour and accents renders the highlighted letters invisible, so we need to change the color of the font,so far we have been unableto do so plus at the moment if you try to cook a custom theme into the rom it simply breaks the unsigned apps unlock rendering unsigned apps useless .

Whats the point then? Lets just use the carrier rom!What do you expect? Different oems different skins etc,if it really bother people they should get an iphone.

Really… let not confuse things here, this is one device alone, neither m I using a different framework for the theme, this is not Htc sense VS Touchwiz, So In theory you can flash any update into my rom provided its is the same version without breaking anything.

In windows mobile chefs integrated apps to save space but users could not remove them,but guess what pretty much every app in my rom can be uninstalled by the user plus we don’t have limited space on our devices as windows mobile devices did.

All we are doing is trying to better our devices but its is early days, and we just started scratching the surface and I for one had enough of flat metro theme after a year stuck with it.

In the end the choice is yours.

Regards

Faria
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] hatuna:
I will personally deal with all the people who FORCE others to use their ROM :)

But if it's free to use and free NOT to use, I really can't see what's wrong then :)

Keep up the good work people, the things are cooking up for Omnia7 these days and it's nice to see it.:cool:
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] irlju:
Custom ROMs allow for tweaks not possible with a carrier ROM - examples being a higher number of apps shown in the task switcher, and a full unlock. I think it's very hard to say that either of those tweaks will be bad for a user of a custom ROM. The same cannot be said about skinning Windows Phone. Also, Windows Mobile wasn't purely about saving space, it was about optimising the ROM to run better and nicer.

If you'll take any advice from me, remember this: you are never going to get away from Metro on Windows Phone. The apps you use will have it. There will be underlying bits of UI which you will be unable to skin. I will guarantee that you will end up creating something that is neither beautiful in the way Sense or iOS can be, nor industrial like Metro.

If you read reviews of Android devices, you'll see that often the manufacturer skins that OEMs provide do offer extended functionality that can be useful. However, the UI changes and custom launchers are almost universally received poorly. Ever wondered why Microsoft isn't allowing any manufacturers to skin the UI? Hint: it's not just them being control freaks.

I like a lot of things about the ROM. I'm not going to get angry if Faria doesn't keep things stock, I simply won't use it as you say. However, I think the concept of providing a semi-skinned ROM is a bad move by default. In fact, trying to skin Metro at all is a sign that you don't understand good design and UI. I don't mean to offend Faria or anyone else, but you'll never get your skin to fully extend into third-party apps and other experiences. Hence, you will always be fragmenting the interface by trying to introduce your own skin.

Sorry if I've offended anyone here, but good design is something that Microsoft has lacked for a long time. I feel like Metro is their break.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] faria:
Fair enough, its preferences some like some dont, as for good undestanding of good art you right,what passes for good art this days is debatable:)

Anyway, for people like yourself ,i im working in a cab that can restore the rom skinned items to default,also im about to finish a clean version of the rom.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] irlju:
Regardless, I wish you the best in your endeavour. It's ambitious, I'll give you that. I can see how your skin will be nice if it's fully implemented, most of my uncalled-for bashing was related to the co-existence of conflicting design languages - either is fine by itself, but when combined they don't work.

I'm worried that you're going to run into heaps of restrictions (ie. how the start screen background is a solid colour). If you somehow get this thing working, hats off to you!

Fix Omnia 7 Bluetooth issue?

My Omnia 7 currently gets stuck at searching for bluetooth devices, does this rom solve this?
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] geddeeee:
This is, IMHO, the best Omnia 7 Tango ROM out there.

Everything works and looks great. Battery life is fantastic too. A lot better than the Mi7ROM which is currently doing the rounds.

Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward to the next version (if there is one).

This one's a keeper!!!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] contable:
This is an unqualified comment, because mi7ROM isn´t "doing the rounds" here. mirolg was one of the first cookers after DFT has released the first custom rom. Also he was the first who cooked in the HTC drivers.

How this rom could be "a lot better" than other roms ? All available roms are only dumped. With all respect but the cookers are only replacing packages or adding packages from different builds or other custom roms...

Next time remember your thanksmeter before you post unqualified comments.

Thanks.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] ceesheim:
:) relax contable :) , its just a personal opinion and that is alowed.

faria , miro are good cooks.

but there are a few diverence in rom and a few other ways of cooking :)

I can't say if this rom has a better batt live than other roms, but all samsung rom's are ok.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] contable:
I´m relaxed, indeed both are good cookers... and we should be thankful that they are spending their freetime in the kitchen...
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] geddeeee:
Christ... I got flamed for mentioning the Mi7ROM didn't work well for me. As per f**king usual, my personal preference seems to have annoyed that particular camp.

I thank ALL cooks for their work, but I'm not a fan of the Mi7ROM. The Faria one works well for me, and that's all that matters.

In future, if you have nothing constructive to say, please don't say anything...

Thanks!!!
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] contable:
As mentioned before:

have a look at your thanksmeter and then check mine...

After that you will know who should stay quiet in future.

End of off-topic discussion.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Edo9:
Hi faria, I am testing on your ROM for three days and I am satisfied.

I have tried other two ROMs from the thread (1 level up) and there I had a problem with very short battery life (max 24 h). Your ROM lasts for two days with standard usage.

I am wondering, if is possible to add a selection (sorting) of installed programs by alphabet characters similar to the contact list, into this ROM. If yes, is it possible to do it through a small xap file?

Thank you.
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] daddyrazzy:
you can edit the registry to do that, just search the forums, even in the omnia section :)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] Edo9:
Thank you. Found, solved. :-)
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] faria:
Thanks, Im sorry for not answering your request , but you found how:) I have been quite busy with other stuff:)

Regards.

ps, i Just screw up my pc while updating the bios:rolleyes:
[Omnia 7 Windows Phone 7 Development] japmeet:
This looks like an amazing rom and seems that this rom might solve our Bluetooth issues after all! I'd love to use this rom but the icons are keeping me away :(

@Faria can you provide us with a stock theme cab so that we can modify what the theme looks like default. I'm sure many others might also need this rom but are unwilling to go for an alternate theme.

You've done a great job with this rom & I'm only suggesting how your rom may cater to a greater number of people. :)

Thanks!

PS: I didn't mean to offend anyone but incase I did I'm sorry.

EDIT : Quick question : I flashed your rom on my omnia 7 and now the ME tile is gone, ideas? (No it's not there in the start menu as well)

i am searching for an app that make 100% the same when i push the hardware power button.

i have tried many apps/widgets, most switch to the look-screen and 15 sec later the screen goes off.

I want the phone goes immediately off (no 1,2 or more seconds later)

exact the same as the hardware power off.

Rom is original .906, rooted

And yes, under Settings/Security the "set up screen lock" is set to "none" !

please help!
[Motorola Droid 3] savedR:
Are you looking for a widget that will lock the screen without you pressing the power button, or an app that disables the stock lock screen altogether, so that if the screen's off and you hit Power it goes straight to your home screen? Both exist, I've used both and they work for me on the stock ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] greddy:
Power ON without screenlock: have it

Power OFF without lockscreen: i search for it. All apps i tried shows the lock-screen and 15 sec. later the phone goes off. I want the phone off in 0 seconds with an app.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
Not sure that's possible. You're basically looking for an app that will instantly sever the link to the battery. It would need to be a rooted app, and it would be very dangerous.

---------- Post added at 03:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 AM ----------

I think I understand what you are looking for.

Are you looking for a way to turn off your phone without unlocking the phone?

If so, you can install a lockscreen replacement app such as Widget Locker. Then, even if your phone is locked, you may hold the power button and it will bring up the option to turn off your phone.
[Motorola Droid 3] greddy:
on my moto pro i have this working with an app (works not on the d3) .. root are

no problem ... i need only an good app :)

On the moto pro the app called: lock and screen off widget (1.0.1)

but on the d3 this app shows the lock-screen ... not off :( (the screen goes off but the phone only 15 sec. later)

1 app that makes the same as the power button for switch off the phone! (The same !!!)
[Motorola Droid 3] qyron:
After a lot of searching the web for this kind of app I've finally this thread and was pretty disappointed that there is no solution to this problem! All the existing apps basically fall into one of the two following categories.

1. "Lock togglers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them enable/disable the lockscreen.

2. "Screen lockers" - apps/widgets that upon starting them turn screen off and lock it regardless if the lock screen is turned of by an app of the (1) category.

What we need here is a app which can turn screen off while respecting lock screen policy.

The quest continues....
[Motorola Droid 3] joshpersaud:
I think what you're looking for may be in the aosp cm9. There's a toggle in the notification bar the turns off the screen. Try that out if you're wanting to try a different rom.
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I just saw the app Elixir 2 mentioned on AndroidCentral.com today. It looks like this has a screen-off toggle widget.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir&hl=en

Phone can be unrooted. You do need a widget add-on and an add-on that gives admin permissions for the screen off toggle.

Doors anyone have a recommendation for an app to stream video from a (Windows 7) PC?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tim_m99:
ES File Explorer works well.

In the top left hand corner you can change the Local option to LAN.

Select add new (2nd from right).

Select scan - the network address should show up. If not you will need to play around with network folders and sharing options from your windows machine.

When does show, select file you want and select option to play (I use MX player).

Enjoy

More streaming

I use a original Dream Multi Media dreambox DM8000 sat receiver with two feed inputs. My wife can watch her channel and I was watching yesterday for example a soccer match on the Nook NT, still seating in the same room. I use the MX videoplayer which is working perfect on standard resolution stations. On HD stations (which is really not needed on the Nook) I get sometimes shutdowns. Even it is possible to stream a movie from the hdd of the receiver or from the NAS.

Is there any possibility to make also records on the SDHC card on the Nook?

Looks nice, just a few questions:

You state the microphone doesn't work. Can I still make calls so that other people hear me, or doesn't it work at all?

If you resize say, the gmail widget, can you span it to the entire screen? Or just a part of it?

You say you used the Virtuous Overclocking Daemon. What speeds are you using?
