Hey everyone, I'm new to the focus and I wanted to know if it is possible to get mms using my straight talk sim on this rom? If so, do I need that network setup app?

I am switching to Straight Talk on November 9, when my 24 month deal on AT&T is finally over.

I have been looking at the MMS issue, I see that on an unlocked phone, diagnostic code 40*047#3 is what turns on auto-sim, I hope that does the trick. On the other hand, I am not sure I really care about MMS.

Marketplace Region Settings

I used to have Adobe Reader but after loading this ROM it says it is unavailable when I try to install it. I have heard that your region gets stored with your live ID and can not be changed. Anyone else having problems seeing an app in the marketplace that they used to be able to see?

Nokia Apps

Hi Guys

Thanks for this thread and this ROM. My Nokia apps section in the store went missing, here's what happened:

- I installed the ROM on my samsung focus 1.3 and set it up and installed nokia drive and downloaded maps and all was great.

- then I bought a 32GB card and formated my phone so it would use it

- now nokia apps section is missing in the store

any ideas?

BTW another note, the local scout doesn't load when you change your locale to Canada, it must be USA, even though if you put your locale to USA and open the app it does find all kinds of things in Canada and in your local city, I know this is probably not a ROM thing, just an app thing, but thought I would point it out.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:13 AM ----------

Nevermind about the nokia apps, found the solution on Nokia's site. The fix was to open the XBOX games app, wait for your profile to load, then go back to the store and it showed up.

which is stable, v5.3 or 5.5

hello guys,

just got to managed and download both version, but it seems v5.5 (241,061 KB) is 51MB smaller than v5.3 (292,979 KB), does this mean all those bugs reported were fixed, how about those added features? have i downloaded correct files?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] wmx:
Just beautiful

Amazing ROM - not even a hint of instability. V5.5 makes battery last longer too from my own observation.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] sanxxx:
I installed the 5.5 version on my unlocked phone. I was using it with T-Mobile. After the flash it is not recognizing the sim. What can I do to fix it?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] euskalzabe:
Installed v5.5 in my unlocked Samsung Focus, works like a charm. Some of the tiles don't display image/text properly in the smaller size (obviously, since there's no supported icons yet and WP7.8 isn't finalized) but that's just nitpicking.

There's just one nagging problem - for some reason the Spanish keyboard (I use both ENG & SPA) shows weird letters (looks like polish or croatian or something) which makes typing in Spanish really difficult and the dictionary doesn't really have ANY suggestions at all.

Other than that, I'm really loving the new home screen!

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] A. K. Jain:
Can we install later updates through Zune after installing custom ROM? I want to know before going for custom ROM else I'll wait for official 7.8 update.

Thanks in advance.
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] wildbilll:
It should allow updates thru Zune. Back at the pre-mango phase, it allowed updates even though I had customized then.

One could always load an Stock OEM Rom when the official 7.8 comes out, then let it upgrade.

spanish keyboard is ****ed up, anyone knows if there is a mod to replace a keyboard with the spanish one?
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Saiyaku:
yes, don't use this rom :laugh:

seriously speaking, it baffles me why the hell everybody uses the keyboard for the

second most spoken

language in the whole world as a base for their custom keyboards, but this is not the place to discuss this

what you can do in the interim is to enable "filipino" as your main keyboard:

configuración > teclado > desmarca español y marca filipino, que está más abajo

then push "configuración de escritura", tap where it says "teclado" and disable every autocorrect option

or much better yet, get dynamics 2.0 and use the native spanish keyboard plus dictionary and all the bells & whistles that make this damn keyboard so fraggin' awesome. i mean, i'm writing things faster than ever with that :cool:

[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] TheMaster666:
I have a touch screen issue with my android daily user..

had a old touch laying around.

Was amazed how easy it was to reload this rom.

I am temped to go back to windows phones now.. (not sure what to get now)

I was a long time Windows Mobile user..

And this rom/phone is making me rethink everything again..

I do wish there were more apps for it.

But over all it is very easy to use and very fast.

Thanks..
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] Saiyaku:
i started with this rom (5.3), then went with dynamics and ended up with clean, still on it and not planning on changing it anytime soon :fingers-crossed:

this rom is quite decent and faster than the other 7.8 roms (because it's not a "true" 7.8 but a 7.5 with 7.8 start screen shoehorned in) but it ultimately sucks for spanish speakers due to its modification of that language in favor of vietnamese. windows' autocorrect feature is AWESOME and you'll miss it a lot with this rom

seriously, i can fast type "este wepn fue el que hiso tal huevada el muy conchesymare" and windows will correctly modify that line to the intended spelling, every. single. time. (just be sure that you added those extra words to the dictionary ;))

dynamics is fantastic and it's more complete than clean (for obvious reasons), but the minimalistic approach of clean won me up in the end, specifically because:

- both xuantunt's rom (this one) and dynamics got this strange bug where the phone would randomly reboot when you were listening a song and skipped it while in the lockscreen; this does

not

happen with clean

- search key editor app is not installed in clean, which means that the search key works exactly as intended. bing search is adequate enough as it is, and bing vision is F*CKIN' FANTASTIC. i can't even conceive why would you disable it in the first place, but then again beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

- dunno if this is just placebo effect or anything, but i think clean is perceptually faster than dynamics

ultimately it's up to you to decide which one suits your needs better, but if you ask me i can wholeheartedly recommend both dynamics and clean rom, as both of them are quite excellent and very stable. as of today, clean rom hasn't rebooted on me not even a single time -unless i ask it to do it so- so that should tell you how ridiculously stable it is

saludos :highfive:
[Focus Windows Phone 7 Development] TheMaster666:
Drive doesn't work for me at all..

It starts to get a lock but then it never updates.

Maps and other gps programs seam to work fine.

Odd thing to it shows 4G sometimes.. I don't think this phone has any 4G capabilities..

Not sure what causes this.

All in all I think I'll look a a new windows phone as soon as my contract is up. This rom while not perfect does work really well.

Awesome ROM I have comments and questions

a few days ago i decided to install magldr and install dynamics ROM because i can never get mms working. that rom didnt work then i went to clean ROM, it didnt work then i went to this ROM because of access to different markets and network connection apps. None of those apps worked for mms because i have a MVNO that uses at&t. if anyone have has any of the big carriers those apps will work for mms but if not then provXML is the only way to get mms and IT DOES WORK NOW.

Comments...this is awesome rom, i like the fact that i have access to many more apps because of market selection. it like the fact that its shows 4g sometimes and is this a glitch or does it really get 4g? The scrolling is reasonably fluid. I like the stock colors unlike dynamics(red) and clean rom(gray) I have not noticed anything not working yet except that when i click windows root tools the screen goes black and then loops back to the menu. it never goes into root tools. I didnt reset it yet because i wanted to find out how i like the rom before i reset and make permanant configurations.

Questions....will the SD card slot work with this rom. i have 32gb sandisk class 4 in it and worked flawlessly, but when i flashed a rom(with card in) it rendered the card useless. (i think i can fix it). will reset fix the windows 7 root tools issue im having? will zune recognize this unit now that its is a lumia 800.(do i need to set another zune account for this change?)

if anyone needs help getting mms working follow these links on this forum...

the second link is a provxml tutorial to get mms working on unlocked phone, if you have a rooted or unlocked phone skip to step 8. it took a whole day for me to figure all that out simply because the instructions were not all that clear until i saw the first link that i posted above, then i was able to get it working.....if anyone needs help let me know....

Hey Guys, I don't what basically Partitioning Sd card means!!?? :confused:( I know it sounds noobish but can't help) Plz can someone explain me in detail about it! Plz ..

..... :what:

Any kind of response will be greatly welcomed! :D

Sent from Galaxy Ace running ICS! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
To understand what partitioning an SD card means, you have to know what partitioning is in the first place. Partitioning is the act of dividing some kind of physical device, either a hard drive or in this case an sd memory card, into multiple logical devices.

If you had a brand 10GB hard drive, it would come with only one partition, C:\ which totaled 10GB of space. But if you split that hard drive into 2 partitions of equal size, you would have a C:\ and a D:\ drive, each totaling 5GB of space. Partitions don't have to be of equal size, and they don't have to be in the same format.

Now for android, most times partitioning an SD card is used to gain more space to store apps. If you create a partition on the SD card which is formatted in ext2 ext3 or ext4, you can link apps to that folder to free space from your internal SD card.

An example of this would be if you have no more space left in your internal memory for say, Angry Birds. You could partition your 8GB SD card into a 1GB ext3 partition and leave the rest in a 7GB FAT32 partition. In this way, you could use an app like link2sd or app2sd to move apps to the SD card to free internal memory up.
[General Questions and Answers] Ansh1107:
Thanks a lit for reply!! Just a Q.So when say i flash a new Rom will all of my partition will be wiped off ...? Will the Remaining(say 7 Gb) will it remain the same ...??

Sent from Galaxy Ace running ICS! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] universeman:
If you flash a new Rom, you will be formatting the internal flash memory as well as the apps partition on your sd card. In my example, the 7GB partition will be completely unaffected.I would be careful though, there are ptions in CWM recovery that do allow you to flash the 7GB partition. However, if you just do a simple wipe data/factory reset from CWM, your data will be safe.
[General Questions and Answers] Ansh1107:
OK so partitioning the Sd card do not wipe off music files(for eg) and some other stuff which I access through file explorer! Right ....?

Sent from Galaxy Ace running ICS! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
There are a couple steps missing. Continuing from the hard drive example, the 8GB SD card would have 1 large partition, formatted as FAT (or a variant, such as FAT32). The internal memory space of the Android device is formatted as EXT (or variant), as Android is Linux-based. Android is designed to recognise FAT as "foreign," and EXT is seen as "native." Therefore, we can trick the OS (Android) into thinking there's more drive space than exists physically in the device, in the following way: Repartition the 8GB SD card to 2 partitions, format the 1st one as FAT, & the 2nd one EXT, then tell the OS to use the 1GB EXT drive to store stuff that's normally only put in internal "native" memory. In Windows, this is called a shortcut, & in Linux it's called a link. So you link a folder from the internal memory space to the 2nd partition of the SD card. This is managed quite easily through apps like link2sd, as mentioned previously. The OS (Android) doesn't know that the linked data actually resides on external memory.

Theoretically, you could link the entire everything to a gigantic SD card, and, in a way, that what people did when they rooted the Nook Color. This would give you tremendous space to play with, but does have potentially significant limitations.
