You did not install RP as that is not available as a download it would of been an x86 version probably pro. The x86 versions are full on windows, I currently ise Enterprise 64bit as my work machine and my home laptop. TBH I spend hardly anytime in the metro interface.

RT will still have the desktop view and limited support for some older style programs - internet explorer desktop mode, office 2013 etc. However you cant install anything outside the marketplace. It will most likely get hacked but if you need old style windows apps you will need to get the windows 8 not windows rt.

On my desktop theres a logo saying "Windows 8 Release Preview, evolution copy.."

Its not the first trial that was avialable at first, I got updated and re-installed it with some new stuffs..
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
This is the last of the beta, sorry I read the t as a p that's my bad. You can get a free trial of rtm (the final build as it will be sold), but once the trial is up you will have to reinstall a proper copy you cant just change the key. I have mine because I have volume license with support as well as TechNet and it is already released to us.

You'll just have to check what processor the tablet comes with, if its anything ARM based then it will NOT run your old software. If its Intel based, probably called an Intel Atom processor then it will run your old software since it uses the traditional x86 instruction set.
[Windows 8 General] mcjordan92:
Yeah I figured it out, it kinda dissapointing.. I wished the buy the cheap tablet one as my school tablet but it seems now that its gonna be very expensive which make me think back about buying a laptop instead, or stick with my old laptop..
[Windows 8 General] lumpaywk:
I will note incase any noobs stumble across this that x64 is also x86 its just as its 64bit they like to use it to tell the diff etc.

They are x86 because they come from the 8086 from back in the late 70's and was only 16bit (I say only remember this was still the70's) and that replaced the 8080 (8 bit). The name just followed on (286, 386, 486, Pentium x86).

This is my first post. I tried searching the net and this forum for answers but can't find any so I'm trying my luck here. The problem with the phone is it is from korea and I'm from the philippines. Function wise there is nothing wrong except that when anyone sends me an sms the phone does not recognize the sender when the sender is already added to my contacts. When I try calling my phone using the same phone I use to send an sms it can recognize the caller from my contacts. What is the problem? how do i solve this?

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ScreenWhine:
Hello,

ICS was not flashed on this tablet (updated through kies or is this method dangerous/considered flashing as well?) and I am not planning on flashing a custom mod after the root (I mainly want to use adb without root restrictions), so this bug should not affect my device because the sticky on the development section says "...

should refrain from flashing

any type of ICS ROM or ODIN package" and mentions nothing about how rooting the tablet causes the problem, right?

I am also asking this because the steps (from the thread below) on rooting a P6200 running ICS are similar to those of a factory reset which can cause this problem and because CWM is needed/recommended (do I need it? does it flash safely?) only for rooting ICS and not for rooting Honeycomb as it was not included in the OP of the tutorial thread on rooting honeycomb in the android development section.

Also, would a root hinder my ability to update the p6200 with kies to a possible jellybean in the future?

Got brickbug V1.2 : http://i.imgur.com/PDejA.png

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Bad2hold:
To make it short: No!

The danger of such a brick only occurs, when u try to wipe/format/flash in stock 3e recovery. Especially in leaked ICS stock ROMs. You are totally safe when using custom recovery like aorth's cwm 6.0.1.0. I have that bad emmc revision too, and were flashing firmwares and root a plenty of times now. Still good.

Anyhow, someone released a emmc partition scanner in N7000 forums a couple of days ago(those guys have that problem too). It scans for bricked blocks in your partition. Looks like we have a way to soft fix this soon. Original xda news: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/partition-scanner-helps-your-emmc-bricked-devices/

---------- Post added at 03:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

I read a bit through it, and it actually IS a solution around bricked blocks after emmc brick bug already. He even provides PIT's for p6200 and WiFi only version.

So if u know Linux a bit, you can actually fix it by yourself.

Original thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1667886

And don't worry about OTA updates from Samsung, I am running jellybean on my tab already and believe me: even with a few bugs its a thousand times better than the ICS stock bloatware ROM. I was thinking like you too. Than I got the official ICS update after months of waiting and I thought: *WTF is this??? This is even more crappy than honeycomb!!* So I downloaded CM9 from aorth, flashed it and: * yeah, this is much much better and smoother*

Now I am running JB 4.1.1 CM10 from aorth and iam happy even more!! =D.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ScreenWhine:
I thought all flashes with an ICS p6200 will cause the brickbug, this will allow me to do much more than rooting with my device. Many thanks for clearing that up and for the news/thread about the brickbug (I definitely will look into that) .

It certainly was a long wait for ICS, I guess stock JB will take just as long (maybe even longer because of the galaxy tab2). I will try flashing JB/CM10 but I better familiarize myself with linux commands and android in general first, just in case I will need to fix something.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ringnutz:
I highly doubt we will ever see stock jb... You don't really need to know Linux c though, it helps, but not necessary. I'm running aorth's jb on my tab and honestly it's probably better than anything that Samsung could put out. I've always been a fan of aosp, and cm will be the closest we will get to that.

About the application name on the main tile, for the moment the only way is to add it directly on the image (png), ill try to fix this problem on a new version.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Otinademoniac:
Hi, I've posted some screenshot of the evolution of my start page using OblyTile HERE, feel free to have a look if you'd like :)

Also, I've done a model for GIMP for creating tiles (including the right dimension of the image and the correct font and size of it) and a ZIP archives with the tiles i've created.

Some of them comes from a FANTASTIC metro UI tiles set that Devianart user ~dAKirby309 created. You can find the whole set HERE, check it out! The other ones are made by images of the games and the applications I own, searching 'em on Google Images.

Hope this helps the community! :)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Pasquiindustry:
OK, I've tried it and it function!

As you write, not 120px images are showed and there is blue-tile background, but for now it is ok.

If you can, you can add support for 2 images live tile and large tile (I know that it's difficult, but you're on right way ;) )
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Otinademoniac:

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Pasquiindustry:

The WindowsBlogItalia team is very good, so they pubblish the application in a bit time.

@Argony-OT I advice you to shortlink with goo.gl the download link to get how people download the tool ;)
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Argony-OT:
@Pasquiindustry Thanks for your feedback/advice.

@Otinademoniac Thanks for sharing your Gimp Model, im sure it will help peoples to create their Tiles and thanks for sharing OblyTile with others.

I'm trying to figure out a way to create bigger tiles (ractangular 248 x 120), and also, working on more colors for the background tile.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Otinademoniac:
While I don't feel like I really need that background color change, since I usually change the colour of the tile in GIMP itself, I think that giving users the chance to make the tile larger would really make the difference; the program could just then consider itself complete.

Hope you'll find out how to do that, it would be awesome :fingers-crossed:
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Aaron McCarthy:
Is there a way to have the title (or Title Name) show up on the tile itself like actual metro tiles? Other then photo shopping them on there that is

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] glimmling:

Automatic convert from other formats to png and auto-resizing would be amazing. Maybe you can implement this in the future with the usage of ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php or a similar tool.

I looked for an option to hide the pinned programs in the Classic Shell settings, but I couldn't find one.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Bonom Denej:
I changed the Virtualdub color (the grey was ugly), I did by myself the camtasia studio icon which I'm pretty proud of. I re-did the games icon, I like them better that way. I will probably do the Steam Icon in a more metro-ish way, like DayZ Commander, but I don't know yet, I kinda like to have one or two icons that doesn't "fit" there (like the Chrome or MPC icons).
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Argony-OT:
Hi!

Thanks you for sharing your tiles!

I don't think this function is really necessary, we have image editors and many websites with lot of tiles ready to be used.

Hey!

I forced Chrome to start in desktop mode by executing a .reg file with this in it:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ChromeHTML\shell\open\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\open\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\opennewwindow\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Chrome\.exe\shell\run\command]
"DelegateExecute"=-

And if Chrome is open, everytime I click the original tile, it just switches to Chrome on desktop, but if I click the OblyTile pointing to the chrome.exe, it opens a new window on desktop, just like if I would open the .lnk on my desktop.

I already tried to point OblyTile to the chrome .lnk in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu, doesn't work either!

Is there anything you can do about this? I would like to switch to Chrome by clicking on the tile.

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Bonom Denej:
I did this tweak and I have the same "problem" with Chrome, it would be cool if it could just open a new tab instead of a new window...
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Argony-OT:
Hi

Try this:

Program Path:

<Your chrome.exe file path>

(Default path is: C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe)

Program Argument:

<website you want to show on the new tab>

(Example: www.google.com)

Everytime you click on this tile and Google Chrome is already running, it will open a new tab on chrome with the website you wrote on Program Argument.

Hope this helps

[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] trashbytes:
But just switching to Chrome as the original tile does won't work? I don't want to open a new tab, just switch to Chrome and show the active page.

In this case, i don't know any way to do it.

If i'll find a way to do it, i will inform you.

Maybe there is an option for Chrome which forces it to stay as a single instance.

That would solve our problem. Well at least it's a workaround.
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] AllAboutAndroids:
So awesome! Thanks for creating this :D

A small request if possible, would you be able to add a function to edit the tile that you create? I noticed that I made a typo and had to delete/recreate one. Just wondering!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] vandalizer:
I second this feature!

@Argony-OT: Thank you so much for making this program! makes my windows 8 experience better!

I have another small request. Can you possibly add a feature where we can convert a shortcut/link into a tile? The interface right now is good for creating a few tiles but with many programs installed, it becomes VERY labor intensive. With a tile management feature (to change name/image) will make oblytile an essential utility for windows 8. Thanks!
[Windows 8 Development and Hacking] Elerador:
I don't know if anybody in this thread already mentioned this, but I think I found a way to use this program with Windows RT. The problem I do have with Windows RT is that the Office-tiles (which I would like to have on my startscreen) look different than the other tiles (because Office is a desktop-application).

Because of that I created tiles for all the Office-applications on my PC with "OblyTile". Afterwards I copied the shortcuts ("%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs") and the OblyTile-folder ("C:\Program Files") on my Surface RT and pasted them into the folders with the same name. Afterwards I edited the "Launcher.vbs" with Notepad and changed all paths to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 15\program.exe".

It should work now but if I try to start the "Launcher.vbs" it says that the program wasn't found - despite the fact that the path is correct. Any ideas?
