I like to pretend anything below Windows 6.5 ever existed.

My gf got me into using android with her G1. I was a big Nokia fan at the time N95/N900 era and the HTC Fuze before that, lol, but the possibilities of Android got me hard unlike the iPhone which at the time I thought was a joke but it managed to heat up faster than a junkies spoon....I guess so many dumb people.

I got my Nexus One and never looked back. My mom and GF had WP7 phones and loved them. My mom hated the iPhone after getting used to WP7 but my GF eventually came back to the android side and felt it was missing too many things she got used to with android. She hated having to use zune to load music and no file manager.

I used WP7 and like it but as a power user neither WP7 or Apple could satisfy my thirst. If I wasn't using android I would need a Maemo phone or some other OS. I honestly miss my N900 though, but I bet if I used it today I would be like ewwwww.

Still have my HD2. It has no SIM or sdcard in it and is stock WM 6.5 or whatever the latest stock was for it. I had planned on selling or trading it but it's hard to let go of. :o

That thing has run everything from WM 6.5x to any Android you can think of AND WP7 with full Live activation et al.

I miss my HD2 as well, was easily one of the best phones I ever owned. WM 6.5 was absolutely terrible, but once i flashed it to CM7 it was incredible, there seemed to be endless possibilities using that phone.

I agree that if they ever release an updated HD2 I would buy it in a heartbeat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cordaylec:
Yeah HD2 the best phone ever, the development never stops. I started with the Wing, then TP2, even had a Nokia E71, but the HD2 was and still is a str8 BEAST.

I would agree with op. Windows phone was very easy to mod and had a ton of programs. Although after you get used to rooting and flashing roms you get over it and see android is just as good (well better) it just needs some extra work to get around sometimes.

I sometimes miss WM too, but then I think about how much damn HACKING it took just to get it to run right. Had to keep on top of my tweaks 24/7. I do miss how easy it was to hack, though android is pretty easy as well.

Still have my HD2 though, and I've had android on it since the SD build-only days. Love that thing, never gonna give it up. Never gonna let it go, never gonna turn around and desert it... God I'm a dork. Forget I wrote that >.<

I use WinMo 6.5 everyday for work, so yeah, no...it sucks. HD2 was/is great phone after flashing energy rom to it and putting android on the sd card. I can't tell you how many times people were amazed when i showed my windows phone booting into android...priceless...The wife is using the HD2 now with nandroid, just did the phone challenge so she gets the windows phone and I get my HD2 back to flash ICS to it. :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fatclue:
To all those who say WM sucks, riddle me this: Does ANY version of Android come with USB and BT PAN tethering out of the box? No. Does any version of Android support Network File Browsing out of the box? No. Can any version of Android connect to ad-hoc as well as infrastructure wi-fi? None that I'm aware of. How about DUN? No. PC sync anyone? I didn't think so.

Is a stylus-centric the most elegant or user-friendly UI? Not by a long shot. Are tiny virtual keyboards best served by a stylus the way to go? Hardly. But if you're talking about sheer functionality, there is no better OS than WM. Microsoft really dropped the ball by crippling WP7 with only a fraction of the things we took for granted with WM. You can't even attach a PDF file to an email! Then again, you can't attach anything to an email on iOS. Well, you can, but it can't be done after you start drafting the email.

Hi i am using an older Gingerbread ROM and i am trying to enable the CRT animation and i have followed many tutorials on trying to enabling it and they all say to find the bools.xml in the framework-res.apk and change a line from "true" to "false" and they say that it should work but it doesn't..... What do i do?

Green lens Defy, UK Unbranded. I've tried everything.

Tried these SBF:

With these:

update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed

update-cm-7.1.0-jordan-signed

CM72-20120304-NIGHTLY-Defy

Done eveything in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24119414&postcount=12

Whats going wrong? Been at it hours now, and this is not the 1st Defy I've done!

I did make a backup shortly after flashing the 1st SBF, and can still get back on to the standard ROM. But I want CM7.

All help appreciated.
[Defy General] adamo3957:
Re flash this sbf

Then follow your link with volume down battery in, wipe data / factory reset,

Then root it with super one click

Then reboot

Then install 2nd init via instructions

Then flash cm7.1 stable

But once you get back into the standard moto software take a while and read the beginners guides

teamwork makes the dream work
[Defy General] joey_t:
Thanks, I appreciate the help.

However, its basically what I already did, but did it again anyway, and same result.

Getting stuck on the blue cyanogen screen. It must be CM7 file, although these are all the same files I'm using from my first sucessful installation.

I remember being stuck at the same point, but not sure how I resolved it.

Do you know if it would be OK to make a backup of the CM7 from my working phone, and install it on this other Defy?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Edit: OK, tried my last suggestion. Not good. Have a working CM7, but no signal, when I check the IMEI on the phone using *#06#, it shows as all zero's, which may explain the problem.
[Defy General] rgadge:
Try baseband switcher app which is in CM itself and try switching to your region :)

Strictly follow these steps:

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Flash froyo (SBF using RSD lite)

2. Copy *.zip to sdcard

3. Reboot your device in BootMenu/ClockWork

4. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

5. Install the *zip

6. reboot

Refer to the following article for more information:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

Hope this helps! :)
[Defy General] adamo3957:
Hold on the above post for a minute,

Enter boot menu,

Go stable recovery,

Wipe data,

Wipe cache,

Wipe dalvik(under advanced)

The rom should boot easy,

Then use baseband switcher (some cm have it installed) choose the frequency to work with your phone ie if the phone was for 850/2100 use a 850/2100 baseband

teamwork makes the dream work
[Defy General] rgadge:
Well said!! :p :D
[Defy General] joey_t:
Thanks for the replies guys. However, I just flashed the standard SBF again after the blank IMEI issue. So back to square one again.

Are you both suggesting I should use the backup ROM from my other phone, then use the baseband switcher to get the signal back?

If so that would be much easier, as I know my backup ROM works fine.
[Defy General] adamo3957:
That would work fine as long as you are using froyo kernel for both, so my suggestion is this

Root

Install 2nd init

Go to recovery on you working cm defy and back up everything (cache data system boot recovery and only leave pds, )

Copy the images to your blank factory defy,

Restore all Tue images you just made - remember no pds,

Should boot 1st go

Then if your doing it for someone else re enter recovery and wipe data,

All this is done via the 2nd init recovery

teamwork makes the dream work
[Defy General] joey_t:
Thanks, once again I appreiciate your help, just a couple of things in your last set of instructions:

1. Whats pds? Can't see an option to leave that.

2. Tue images?

Edit:

Ok should have at least looked into PDs before I asked.

But Tue images? Still not sure on that.

1st backup off working phone, excluding pds hasn't changed. For some reason, it saying it cannot find system.img, andriod_secure.img and cache.img. But I only copied over the clockworkmod backup folder. I think I saw the android_secure folder elsewhere, so will go back on that.
[Defy General] joey_t:
OK contents of backup folder from working cm7 defy are:

.android_secure.vfat.tar

boot.img

cache.ext3.tar

data.ext3.tar

devtree.img

nadroid.md5

recovery.img

system.ext3.tar

There is no system.img, android_secure.img and cache.img on this folder, hence why the restore cannot find those files.

I'm checking versions of clockworkmod recovery are the same on both phones, thats the only thing I can think is making it different. Checked, same versions.

I seem to be having more sucess, trying my install of cm7, where it gets to the blue logo screen, then running the restore. However, still no signal. I don't seem to have the baseband switcher option in my version. Any direct links to the latest cm7 build, as the one on the link from Rajneeshgadge17, is down.
[Defy General] joey_t:
SUCCESS!

Thanks for your patience adamo3957 and Rajneeshgadge17.

I eventually went for a complete fresh install of everything, downloading the same version of cm7 I already had even, just to check that. Now up and running :thumb:

Now, I just need to sort the other Defy I killed when atempting the macguyver fix!
[Defy General] rgadge:

[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
Basically odin mode is when your phone is recognized by odin. When you have odin installed, your phone will be recognized by Odin when there is a yellow box with COM## (numbers dont matter), assuming you have all the proper drivers installed.
[General Questions and Answers] asking_alexandria27:
couldnt i download odin on my computer and put it on my sdcard using a cardreader then put the sd card back in my phone then go to system recovery and install iit from sdcard and it will fix my bootloop?
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
I doubt it, plus why would you want to anyways? Just seems like a whole bunch of extra, if not unnecessary steps. Easiest way to get into odin mode would be to have the proper drivers installed, put your phone into download mode, let Odin recognize your phone by showing a yellow box with a COM followed by any number, the you flashing whatever you need.

[General Questions and Answers] JDMo:
Odin is for windows

Odin doesn't go on the phone it's for your computer.

QUOTE:

You first and foremost need to download ODIN zip file from the XDA developer forum. You will be provided with the link. You can then extract the ODIN folder into your computer.

You can now use the data cable to connect your Samsung phone to your computer.

Put your Smartphone off and remove the battery.

Then you can turn the phone on whilst you hold down you Home, Power and the Decrease volume keys to go into the download mode.

You can now launch the ODIN on your computer. Then click Auto reboot. All together, you can click PIT and select the PIT file that is associated with the Android ROM that you are flashing using the ODIN android. You can now click PDA and make sure that you select the TAR file for the ROM.

Last but not least, you can click start to add the ROM to you Smartphone. Note that, the installation will be complete when the phone reboots automatically. You can then unplug the phone and enjoy the new changes.

Is there a guide for converting a phone from RFS to MTD? My gf's device (Galaxy Prevail) has a pretty good build of cm7, however it's built over EXT4, which is ****. She loves the cm7 build but can only seem to use it for a few weeks before performance and stability comes to a hault, so I was wondering how difficult it would be to do this, or if it's even possible for her device, and where I could find a guide/further info on how I could attempt to get it accomplished. I know this isn't Epic related, but "their" devs are kinda morons, and I trust our dev community a lot more, so I'm asking here.
