Yeah it looks like it wasn't included in Windows 8, and I'm probably guessing because it wasn't a particularly popular feature. Of course that sucks for the few out there that do use it. Heck I totally forgot it existed before you brought it up.

I imagine there will eventually be a similar application available to fill the gap, either by Microsoft or someone else, and probably put into the Windows Store.

Maybe pulling the .exe from a Windows 7 installation will allow you to run it in Windows 8?
[Windows 8 General] e.mote:
>Of course that sucks for the few out there that do use it.

I'm glad MS got rid of the cruft, no offense. Windows' perennial knock is that it's a bloated pig, crammed with second-rate software. Now that it has to fit into flash-based devices and needs to reduce its footprint, a diet was inevitable. Widgets are gone, too. YAY! Aero...POOF! :)

I entirely empathize with the big complaint against Win8, viz forcing Metro on desktop users. But getting slimmed down is definitely a plus. An OS shouldn't have everything and the kitchen sink in it, especially for "legacy" hardware like DVD writers.
[Windows 8 General] oldpueblo:
Damnit. I wish I'd known this because I just finished my install and my first task was to create a DVD with their video wall menu. I've now yet to find any other DVD authoring software that's so quick and easy to use AND has that video wall function. :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbrummell:
First of all, I'm not new to rooting my devices. This is the 4th Android phone for me (Dream, Magic, Captivate now the S III), all have been rooted by myself. What is scaring me off rooting at the moment is the flash counter and a decent working Rogers ROM. I need to be able to toggle LTE, when I travel out of the city there is LTE availability but it is garbage. The phone is faster on GSM at that point, believe me, I tried everything I could to make it better. I need WIFI tether to work properly. I did find the hint about switching to the tether APN, and that works, but that is a bogus solution, I shouldn't have to do that. Ohhh, not to mention the garbage email client (who does *not* support HTML emails these days?!?!?).

What I am looking for from Rogers users is advice from people who have done it for (limited risk) a root solution and a decent ROM that will fit the bill for what I do.

In my everyday travels I use Bluetooth pairing to the car for media streaming, wifi tether, usb tether (only when wifi doesn't work, but then I can't connect the TouchPad to the 'net), email, sms, browser (I do like the stock browser in ICS & Jelly Bean AOSP, but the ioncluded one in Rogers version sucks balls).

Anyone got any fool proof solutions I can use?

PS-I'm not a newb, please don't tell me to go search, I've read thread after thread after thread and there is so much conflicting information available right now. I'm looking for advice from Rogers users (Bell/Telus would probably be ok too) that have actual experience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
To this one point: this has nothing to do with the Rogers ROM. Stock email client on JB/AOSP also does not scale HTML emails, neither does Gmail. In fact, though I hated the convoluted interface and buried menu options Rogers added to the Email app, they actually added the ability to use rich-text when sending emails, which is absent in AOSP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbrummell:
I guess I got used to the AOKP ROM's which do have a decent email client. And you're right about the Rich Text in the Rogers ROM, but 90% of the emails I get are HTML. Makes them hard to read.

I'm currently rooting the device, still looking for ROM opinions...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbrummell:
Where's my Easy button? That was easy.

Currently rooted and de-bloated. Still waiting for decent ROM suggestions.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbrummell:

Thanks for the post. I myself kinda like this boot animation. I havent put it on my tablet yet, but I like it.

I really want to thank you for including the screen shots, so we have an idea of what its going to look like. No one would buy a car, sight unseen, so why would someone want to put a boot animation that they cant see and evaluate for themselves.

Thanks again. I'd like to see more variety in boot animations. Does anyone know if sound files can be played during boot?

Do you have some way to sync facebook contacts with milestone 2 + CM10?

i try update app from market, check the option to sync contacts, but nothing happen, search in foruns and got just the answer use motoblur, but CM10 dont have MOTOBLUR.

what is the best way to do that?
[Milestone 2 General] Slatter666:
Try the app 'facebook contact sync' from the play store. works very good on my phone. The only problem is, if people have different contact names on your phone (not facebook username) you need the facebook-id. Haven't figured out yet how that works.
[Milestone 2 General] skulljoi:
facebook contact sync is almost good, i think that need to change the contacts display from CM10, that i can set SHOW ONLY CONTACTS WITH NUMBER :)
[Milestone 2 General] lucasdeeiroz:
just don't open the "Contacts" app, open "Phone" and switch to contacts. There will appear only your contacts with number.
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Contact Picture Sync (from sbla games) is an interesting app, instead of automatic an regular syncs, the app creates a one time list where it try to find correspondent matches, then you review the list selecting FB and the correspondent local contact, then download the full sized pictures to local contacts. The app can save the list for the next sync.

I didnt fin ANY help for this problem, so i'm forced to ask it by myself.

Im using cm7 boype's modded version.

Firstly i couldn't connect my home wifi. I saw every router but not mine. I changed regulatory domain to 13 and it's ok now, but there's still problem with reconnecting. Because its look like after turning wifi on in background (from status bar for example), it starts scanning but not with regulatory domain set on 13 channels. I have to go into settings, then manually click 'scan' and then my wifi router appears... It's weird for me, so i ask you all for help.

Thanks,

ok - there's lots of information about the brickbug on this site - mostly from well informed, experienced members

however, i would like to summarise this information from a noobie's perspective - on the basis that experts have a tendency to assume knowledge on the part of the reader, knowledge that is often absent

if any mod thinks this reasoning is wrong, please feel free to delete

this is my understanding, right or wrong, of the brickbug in no particular order-

1) you

might

have a problem chip in your phone, and there is an app for checking if you have such a chip - if you have then there is a risk of bricking your phonehttp://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1115293&d=1339163352

2) the bug is activated only by specific kernels, and only on stock based ROMs using ICS 4.0.4

3) if any other kernel is used, and/or any other ROM, there is no risk

the following firmwares are known to have the bug

XXLQ5/6/7/B - ZCLPL - XWLPM - XWLPO - XWLPT - MUGLD3‎(?)

many thanks to Stileth, Chainfire and googy_anas for input

my recommendation to anyone who knows as little as i do or less about this -

avoid ICS 4.0.4

please reply stating whether this information is correct or not, and i will update the post with appropriate links or ask for it to deleted

thanks for your patience

ps my signature will be updated as soon as i get my device back from repair (no bricking - it took a fall) :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
1) there is an app to check if you have bad chip to be precise

2) its activated under certain actions if you have kernel with MMC_CAP_ERASE command enabled

3) yes, there is no risk if the kernel have the MMC_CAP_ERASE command disabled

that would be general summary
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jontomes:
thanks Stileth - just a few questions if you don't mind

can you say what those certain actions are that will active the bug when the MMC_CAP_ERASE command is enabled?

is it right to say the following?

certain kernels enable a command called MMC_CAP_ERASE, it is these kernels that must be avoided while using ICS 4.0.4?

it may be i am just reiterating what you have said, but i am trying here to put it in a way a noob like myself might understand

thanks again for your patience
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
All is summarized here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1756242

Yes, basically all official/leaked 4.0.4 stock kernels have this command enabled, so if you want to be safe you should flash custom kernel where the command is disabled. Usually in their thread is this info written. Also all this is valid only if you have insane chip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fs1023:
Best to run eMMC check app before 4.0.4 update to see if you have insane chip
