I'm not sure what to think of you. From this thread, you post things borderline trolling, but then have pages of arguments dissecting every vague word until you reveal the full fledged point you should have just said in the first place. So you're... inefficient.

I don't participate in the android vs ios vs wp7 threads that I see from time to time, but I still heard a lot of arguments for and against each from other places, and my friends and I have discussed this at great length.

I don't remember WP7 users claiming that there was no sea of icons, and if they did, they were probably 7 year old fanboys; which make up most of the participants on every side in those threads.It's stupid to say there's no sea, given that the start screen is nothing BUT a sea of icons.

For the record, before 7.8's small tiles, I only used live tiles because with the big tiles, there was wayyy too much space being taken up, and an excess number of tiles resulted in a start screen too big to scroll through. So before now, only live tiles that gave useful information. Now that there's room, shortcuts everywhere!

The main difference between WP7 and android is that WP7's start screen is inherently (and forcibly) efficient and organized; You customize your grid with things you access frequently, and some icons in the grid can be considered widgets (live tiles).

Now I personally like live tiles better than widgets because the form factor is both enforced and the concept embraced by devs, whereas my experiences with android boil down to, every widget has its own theme and size, resulting in an inefficient use of screen space....

Moreover the concept of widgets doesn't seem to be embraced on android; in WP7, if there can be a live tile, there usually is, no matter how trivial, whereas on android, widgets are few and far between. While not impossible on android, setting up a start screen where you can get a lot of information "at a glance", without opening any apps, is significantly easier on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
for the sake of efficiency, I scrolled through the pictures on these pages, and found one person using the "at a glance" capabilities of wpx, and I believe it was an email unread tile. it may be easier, but its not being utilized, much like android widgets.

the only other "at a glance" live tile I see people using is, the weather.
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
Yeahhh..only the weather ..

m8 you are trolling ..

This is one of my screenw... All social media at once..I have others "at a glance" for news, calendar-todo ect
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I checked your three shots from earlier, the last one shows aag info better with points and photo streams...

the other folks are still only displaying weather?

yelling "troll" is the laziest way to avoid discussion. another person asked why so many apps were linked to home screens, is that trolling also?
[Windows Phone 7 General] colossus_r:
Μ8 ..i am not yelling ..but your statements are in that direction ..

My screens are there from the begining but you still yelling no "at a glance" info ..only weather

The number of the "icons" (live tiles not icons) you have in the start screen depends on what you want ...

You can have 10 tiles ot you can have 50 tiles ...its up to you ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] link68759:
It could very well be that you don't recognize which are live tiles and which are static shortcuts.

My phone has 22 Live tiles / ~43 total, though I tend to pin and remove things on a day to day basis (as a reminder to get things done; pin this website, pin this specific task from my tasks app, etc). I make the static tiles mini, so the result is most of my screen real estate is filed with 'at a glance' information.

I don't know or care how others use it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
this part, yeppers.

unfortunately, static screenshots don't do much for flipping widgets, tiles, flashing icons etc.

maybe some video screen captures would help folks to differentiate between static icons and cooler aag icons? does wpx do video screen captures?

to the casual observer (hi!) it appears very little aag information is being displayed from these pages of screenshots.
[Windows Phone 7 General] link68759:
It would be possible to use USB video out and record that.

Are there some more Homescreens out there? :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] znial:
my start screen

issues to get perfction imho:

i am really disappointed by the new Games tile.. it is dead!

i am looking for a good separator app tile... one that doesn't do nothing other separate tiles (no shortcuts to apps, images or textnotes)

only the sms large tile get preview of the message.. email tile only show the number of unread mails

i am looking for an app that list all my ie favs to get them directly accessible from the screen tile (live or not)

remove the text from smaller tile (i hate chopped texts)

There are 2 apps that can behave strange like that ...Digital power and Keep alive ..

Do you have anyone of those installed in your phone ? (what phone?)

Yes, I have Digital power but when uninstalled it and softrest device New group app not work:rolleyes:.

Disable ad-blocker to see this picture! Help support XDA-Developers!!!

This is my current home screen(yes, that is seriously ALL of it). I'm quiet surprised more people don't pin XBL games to the task bar, since you can make them a tiny icon now. I wish Microsoft would put in a feature to pin task like Airplane mode directly, The tile here is WinTT Airplane mode tile. This makes it MUCH easier for me to turn on airplane mode when I enter work (no reception, just eats batteries to leave cell radio on).

I also made my pictures tab large, cause its just fun to see all of my friends and families Facebook photo's randomly pop up (and now at a size you can actually see them!).

I wish HTC Hub was updated to play nice with 7.8, but I guess we'll just have to wait. Having Bazaar pinned is nice, because I never realized it would prompt you for it's market place updates too. I wish I could disable text on some icons, like WinTT, Bazaar, and Last.fm.

I'm going to experiment with some things since someone pointed out new group*

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gamzerz:
so i was just wondering, how common is the sticky power button problem? And is there any way to prevent it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dikuma:
I suffer from the same problem, so I think it's fairly common. I've been tempted to take my phone apart and kinda shave down the power button a tad, but I just got this thing and I'm not wanting to to into it just yet. I'd say just leave it for now. It'll eventually start working right for a while.

I'm buying it from him for $50 :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Well you can always root it. Running custom roms might be harder to revert. You should go to the one x community and see..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gamzerz:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gamzerz:
What should we do if we rooted and using by a custom rom and then the power button arises? In that case we won't be able to go back to stick and unroot.. .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dikuma:
Flash a ROM that will permabrick your phone that way there's no evidence of you rooting lol.

there are power buttons where you cant just fix by flicking it, bro. If you read up on the people with the power button problem, it isn't that the physical outside part of the button is actually jammed, it is more of an internal issue. there were guys who use exactos and **** thinking they can just release the pressure, but it turns out its more of the rubber part underneath it all. That's why he was asking what can you do if you can't even flash to stock.

you basically just told the guy who asked "what can we do when we can't flash back to stock?" to just "flash something else". smh bro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] marduk79:
In case anyone comes across this issue like I currently am, you can open up the back of the phone by unscrewing the 6 little screws. Once that's done, put your battery back in and when you feel the first vibration, use a very small screwdriver to lift the motherboard slightly on the side that the power button is on. By lifting the mother board, you will cause a separation between the power button and the button that it presses on the mother board to turn the phone on. I am currently doing this and am backing up my phone. I will attempt to fix the button my self and if I can't, I will use the steps I mentioned to flash my phone back to stock and reset the counter, etc, etc so that I can send the phone in for repair. My phone starting rebooting randomly on it's own this morning and it took me the better part of the morning to figure out what the problem was. Hopefully this helps someone. I will post back with my results.

ps. forgot to suggest that if possible, assign your phone to wake by pressing the volume rockers so that you are not messing with the power button until you get it fixed.

Hello -

My power button is broken completely - it does nothing when pressed. I have tried to fix it. I want to be able to enter recovery, but can't do it with a broken power button.

I just flashed ICS Stock ROM, but I need to be able to enter recovery to do a factory reset. Is there an alternate way to enter recovery?

so i downloaded twrp flashed it everything is going good and then i back up everything and i then delete cache and facory reset in trwp which is data wipe and system wipe. ( i assume this is why i got this bootloop)

then i flashed desensed rom and i just have been on the boot up screen for like 10 minutes now. any suggestions?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Try to reflash the recovery , if that don't work relock the bootloader and run the stock ruu and get you back up and running then unlock again and flash recovery then restore the backup . The toolkit makes this process only a few minutes .
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
Also might wanna try fast boot flashing the kernel cause it probably didn't go through
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Marshmellow92:
Yeah I figured I would need to do that. I mean I know how to do everything of that sort. I just wanted to make sure. I don't like twrp haha its weird I'll just stick to wcxrecovery. Also yesterday I tried going to the toolkits website but it seems as if its down
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Monkeymannnn:
Yeah...wcx is a whole lot more stable than the others out there. No need to relock or anything, just fastboot flash the recovery in boot loader.

Here are a few Samsung widgets that you can put in System/Apps and they will work on on Touchwiz ROMS. (I installed them on CleanROM, but didn't care for any other than the Samsung AP Mobile Widget).

1- Favorite Contacts from the Jellybean Leak (works in ICS)

2-Favorite Apps from the Jellybean Leak (works in ICS)

2-The other Samsung News Widget that uses AP Mobile instead of Yahoo News.

4-Buddies Now (This is the one they included on the Note, not the old Galaxy S one. It basically adds a square contact to your homescreen but unlike the stock ICS ones, it is twice as large. It also will use synced pics from FB)
