[Windows Phone 8 General] shassouneh:
Here are my 2 (increasingly worthless due to inflation) cents:

I have tried several mobile OS's across several versions (Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7.x, Windows Phone 8.x, Android 2.x,4.x,5.0, Palm/HP WebOS, etc).

The last time I had a Windows phone was a Lumia 1520. I had 4 of them in a row. Every single one of them had HARDWARE and Software issues. I'd send it to Nokia for repair. They "claim" to have fixed the issue, and slap on a new IMEI, and send a replacement that has the same issues!

The Windows Phone OS itself is terrible as well. It can't multi task (don't believe the hype), can't handle simple scenarios such as playing music from an SDcard, the "tombstoning" is the dumbest idea ever, and the apps available for Windows Phone lack in both features and quality. WORST MOBILE EXPERIENCE ever.

There is a reason Android has explosive market share. Although the Android OS itself is a heap of junk, the bottom line is it does the job. A mobile OS that can't multi task in 2015? What are we all still using betamax tapes for videos as well?

Point is simply: I will never ever ever ever touch a Windows Phone again. Total rubbish OS and hardware.
[Windows Phone 8 General] VSparxx:
While i'm sorry to hear you had such a horrible experience with your four 1520's, i'm sure this is entirely because of extreme unluck or just plain bad service center (maybe it was a licensed one not an official Care point ).

The rest of your story though is debatable, as you can play music from SD and every other platform also tombstones apps ( there are differences though in how the mechanism works.

The app problem is seen differently by each user, at least from my point of view all i need is there.

I think you just didn't got a chance to really apreciate the pros and cons of this platform because of you HW problems.
[Windows Phone 8 General] chicinwang:
I have an original Droid X. Also an S(1), S2,S3,S4,S5 Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 Acer Iconia A100 and A500.( Have recently sold the S(1) S2 and S3)

The only issue I've ever had was my X lost data and had to flash the OEM software and the S Was buggy ,I believe that was hardware and not OS problems. If you have OEM software you have a lot of bloatware that can cause lags. Flashing a custom ROM eliminates this.

These free apps they are referring to are not side loaded. That's done thru USB. Android actually has FREE apps on the play store. And how does charging to be an app Dev encourage people to do so?

Most of the WP8 I have seen have comparable spes to most android devices.

Oh forgot to mention I have a Droid XT-926 (not the max) that was charged Saturday evening and is currently still on.

Your or a few others bad experiences doesn't constitute the whole OS is at fault. If you don't close out heavy resource app before opening another, yeah you're going to have problems.

With all that said I have my eye on the Nokia 1520,love the size and specs. Also just wanna try something different.
[Windows Phone 8 General] DARKCHYLDX101:
I have the 1520 it's a great phone. Nice camera, performance is good, I actually like the OS. It works well. System apps are good. All other apps are lacking. You have the essentials. Youtube and most other apps don't take advantage of the screens resolution. And most apps really need to be updated. Youtube, Onenote, Instagram. Screen is bright even under direct sunlight. Whites are amazing. Blacks are washed out thanks to the lcd screen. In the end I still prefer my Note 4. Maybe the Windows 10 update will change things up because it allows android and ios developers to easily port their apps.
[Windows Phone 8 General] vcfan:
you will eventually regret it and come back
[Windows Phone 8 General] pavstar619:
Already switched from Android to Windows 8.1. No regrets! Well maybe for Viper4Android :p
[Windows Phone 8 General] Ace42:
As someone that loves W7/8 I thought WP8 would be a good test for me. After buying a L520 I realized it couldn't completely replace my Sammy Vibrant ( which I still use as a mp3 player thanks to wolfson+viper) despite having better battery life...this might strictly apply to the 520, but it cannot play aac or whatever the various extensions are for my songs (I usually keep songs in their orig format). Also the music apps in the store couldn't replicate the Poweramp experience.

WP8 doesn't contain most of the apps or games I use, though I must say that IE performs good on the 520 for quick searches. Maybe when W10 for phones releases I'll give it another try.

No way for leaving WP, i just bought lumia 435 a month ago, now i have android and wp.. both is the best :D
[Windows Phone 8 General] chicinwang:
Monday will be two weeks that I have had my 1520. I honestly only had regrets about it for a half day. It has a wicked camera, brilliant display and great size.

I love the fact that you can uninstall some of the apps without any problems.

No Otterbox, due to the size I guess.

One thing that I don't like in the lack of a good browser and a YouTube app. But those shouldn'tbe an issue with the release of WP10.

Overall, I'm really enjoying it!
[Windows Phone 8 General] cubit:
I was using HTC One (7) upto 7 months ago, just got bored with it and fancied trying out the Windows Phone. Got myself a Lumia 930 and soon after got the Denim update.

I have to say, i quite like both the phone and the OS. Only problem i have with apps are a couple of trade related ones not present in windows store. I can live with that as i have both a nexus 7 and iPad air2.

However!!

A major gripe with windows is the Calendar. It only retains events/appointments for the last two weeks. For a platform touted as geared towards business this is unforgivable. It might be fine if you are desk based but for those of us field based this is a deal breaker.

Upgraded to GDR2 - very nice but still same calendar problems.

Tried the latest windows 10 preview, and to the best of my knowledge, still has the same problem, and i have to say, it left me feeling a little underwhelmed.so reverted back to GDR2.

So, back to Android i go. Only decision now is which phone.

I mentioned the Air2 earlier. Boy do i regret buying that. I cannot for the life of me, understand why people bang on about how good IOS is. What i do know is, i won't be going down that route for a phone.
[Windows Phone 8 General] VSparxx:
Well idk if you're aware but the calendar in W10 is a universal app. now, so you can use the feedback app and tell them about your problem and a solution may come before RTM.
[Windows Phone 8 General] cubit:
They've known about it for long enough, certainly since wp7.
[Windows Phone 8 General] pyth0ner:
Let's wait Windows 10 and see

Windows Phone is an okay phone. As a matter of fact, it works great even an entry level phone can compete well against some mid range Android Phones. Apparently, low budget wise, Windows Phone wins! For high end market, this is a mixed bag. Personally the Android devices are doing well in this regard, the overall OS is good. The collection of apps makes me wonder why should I stick with Windows Phone sometimes! Definitely Windows Phone wins Performance/price category . But taking into consideration of Apple, the price of Android phones is just okay!!! LOL

I am waiting for the Windows 10 and new Windows Phones. Come on Microsoft!!!
[Windows Phone 8 General] canapo92:
-Android is made for developers and fanboys, i have a tablet with ics, and the day after i bought it, i flashed a rom based on jb and it run better than factory configuration. (this device belongs to low range of market). it has infinite possibilty for hack already, xposed mod, cwm recovery ecc.

-If you are a normal user, not interested in technology, Oem pushes you to buy his android cheap device and when you are in trouble with it (lag in primis) you must change your tablet with an expensive one, but if you are a developer or amateur (my instance) you can flash, hack and tweak tour low range tablet. i'm not telling that android is terrible (even better) but buy Windows devices if you want a low range devices with stability, max security and you want to make little tricks.

-Buy an android device with less than 100 € in Italia and claim to stay quiet about performances, for me, means that you don't understand on value of a device with all respect for all people .

Ciao!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KilimIG:
h-hello

this might be an odd question, targeting both the HTC One but also android OS's as a whole.

my previous device (iOS) was met with massive slowdowns when i began running out of storage space (200MB remaining of a 32GB model) and here i am yet again, approaching 4GB of storage remaining for my HTC One that i bought one month ago.

my question would be how much space should i ideally leave over to permit my device to run at its full potential. 1GB? i heard that 500MB is sufficient enough but i wanted to get some more opinions before i take the plunge and fill my phone up. i care more about speed and power than space.

thanks~

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rerenznz:
I suggest reserve around 300MB, so when the system needs space you'll not have a problem, :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KilimIG:
alright i'll stick with that to be safe then (probably a little more, 500MB seems about even)

thank you!

It's not as easy as you all may think. Let's wait until October for HTC to drop 4.2 for our device. I hate to say wait as I'm a go get her done guy but Simon and I have been working really hard trying to get CM compiling for our device but can't do much until htc releases 4.1 source code for the k2cl I'll start working again but I'm mainly waiting for HTC to release 4.2 source as it will make all our lives much much easier. Also, porting sense>aosp(miui) is difficult where as aosp/cm>sense is much easier
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
We appreciate all work you will do for this phone!

Waiting for kernel source is and was always a pain. It will come, but they take their time...

What model phone has support MIUI and has the following parameters:

screen resolution - 800x480

ro.build.id=JDQ39
[HTC One SV] Fabian2103:
ONE S and ONE X and some others are supported, do they have such other parameters? I dunno. So I'm fine with the 4.2.2 update and the Sense5 - Toolbox, works well.

But its a pitty that the development-sections for K2_U(L) are as empty.. It's a really nice and cheap phone, I don't get it.
[HTC One SV] BrateloSlava:
You have read my previous post???

ONE S - (960 x 540)

ONE X - (1280 x 720)

However, in the manual used CM, but the current version for HTC phones using HTC framework.

[HTC One SV] rollon76:
It doesn't matter
[HTC One SV] Tquetski:
I'll have to pregame a bit; If people have used patch to make MIUI for simiarHW phones as the one SV then perhaps it could be done in a day; have any examples of flashing another models stock rom worked for you guys?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Don't know about other/similar hardware, but the dump you've requested is here: HTC One SV_k2u System dump Linux.rar
[HTC One SV] rollon76:
The similar HW device is Sony Xperia L but i don't find anything miui rom.
[HTC One SV] Tquetski:
No good, it needs to be dumped with MiCode tools; I can walk anyone through it and if a public github could be established where people could make changes this could get done in a steady amount of time
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Don't know if i'm experienced enough to do that. I don't really have knowledge about working with Linux.

[HTC One SV] :
I don't want money for right now I'm still a student so nothing would be justified

Stock firmware is just an option; tonight I'm going to sync repo and try to build 10.1 for this device to use as a base; I feel people may not be familiar with me but anyway I hold the following project threads:

Building PatchRom for CM/AOSP devices

Building a suitable CM10.1 for MIUI

and MIUI v5 for the Exhibit II, XT926, XT925, XT907, MB886, Galaxy SII

So I'm not too concerned about completing this project; MIUI has become one of the more rare firmwares since the GB and ICS days because as of now to even port it you have to know how to source build.

I'll try to build CM10.1 first and if that doesn't work out Patch second; Patch always yields results but takes forever so I prefer to use AOSP based Roms, plus if it works out this phone may be able to get 10.1 as a biproduct lol
[HTC One SV] bataya:
Hope it will work, would be great to have cm or MIUI.
[HTC One SV] :
To be real I'm also here because I'm experimenting with forking my builds to multiple devices that are based on the same CM code.

I update my MIUI builds every week generally and fork it across every device I build for and sometimes do the same with stuff like AvatarRom, ChameleonOS and other theme roms.

Everyone wants stuff based on their stock firmware but I like AOSP because it's more flexible for me and frankly I like to do stuff other than MIUI sometimes lol
[HTC One SV] bataya:
Just checking yours threads, you have done awesome job out there.

I agree with you, AOSP beside roms are way better then any stock rom.

I'm willing to be the ***** for miui. Haha! Carry on. I don't know **** or I'd try and contribute. Not that i don't have time to learn. I should look into resources available and learn. :)
[HTC One SV] :
I always feel 'let's leave money out of this' because when it comes time to fork up people will more easily find a reason to not than to do it.

"As soon as it's fully functional I'll toss you like 20$" = "Mind if I spit in your face a bit"

Honestly nobody is going to source-build for a device then build MIUI after for **** money; It takes many many hours so bringing money into it always annoys the hell out of me, I think having a 'Donation' button makes you a prostitute pretty much and I also feel that it gives people the ability to demand ETAs and other stuff like this which is stress most would pay to not deal with.

A no money model is best because you get what you get if you can get it; which is how life is anyway; I'm going to put forth the same effort either way so let's keep this at a hobby level so other people can get involved without having to worry about contributing to someone elses payday

Edit: The XT925 and XT926 were in the same boat as this phone when I started, and although I have functional MIUIs for both devices I'm still making revisions as it verison-ups It's a long-term project because when V6 comes out nobody will give a f k about v5 anyway lol

MIUI Samsung i9070

[HTC One SV] HeIIBoy:
About resolution I think Desire S (Saga) is most appropriate
[HTC One SV] Fabian2103:
I don't understand why the one phone with 480x800 should fit better than the other one.

I'm not a developer but in a short form I understand it that way (pls correct me, probably i'll totally wrong)

To port miui to One SV -- I THINK -- you need

1) The images/design in 480x800

2) A working kernel

3) The drivers

1) Use them from i9070?

2) Why don't you use any custom kernel like 'SaveEnergy'?

3) Can't you take them from stock?

Sorry, if you have knowledge in that direction you'll laugh on me I guess but I try to understand the problem so please be friendly.

Im from Germany so sorry for some misspellings, can be the autocorrectur or I made a mistake, hope you can understand me.

[HTC One SV] :
Not at all It's a reasonable question; I used to pick 'proper resolution' devices but now all that's really needed is a booting framework; If that's satisfied all the resolution stuff can be tailor-fitted in like 10 minutes.

If doing a MIUI port we either have to use stock or CM, they're not interchangeable; and I likely will use a custom kernel when the time comes for it but for now I'd like to try my best to get 10.1 to build

[HTC One SV] :
10.1 for sure, usually each android revision houses two MIUIs

4.1.2 = MIUI v4 Final and MIUI v5

4.2.2 = MIUI v5 and MIUI v6

So I really want to push for 10.1 because in my opinion 4.1.2 support will end real soon

I know some folks have built CM10 and that is for sure doable, but I'm just being a stickler here; if 10.1 doesn't work out we can revert to CM10 but I really want to take a strong swing at this.

I need someone to dump their firmware via ADB for sure
[HTC One SV] bataya:
Give me some direction or point me to tutorial how to make dump and I will do it.
[HTC One SV] :
Terminal emulator or use adb shell.

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20 of=/sdcard/boot.img

Or

cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p20 > /sdcard/boot.img

Then you can just adb pull the image.

Process is the same for all partitions given the proper mount points and respected names.

I used the boot.img as an example because it is the same partition for all K2 variants.

Some partitions are pretty large and would require space on your device or else it will only partially copy the image over, leaving it incomplete due to not enough sufficient space on any given storage that you may decide to place the image prior to pulling it from your device. So make sure you check its size to see if it is complete.

---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

[MENTION=2494699]bataya[/MENTION], you can also do the following:

cat /proc/emmc

That will show a list of partitions, but it won't list all of them. Just the more important ones.

Another method, with more info, would be as followed:

adb shell
mount > /sdcard/PHONENAME_mountinfo.txt

This will place a text file on your sdcard with the mount points for your specific device. (Remember to swap 'PHONENAME' with your device name e.g. 'k2cl', as a means of remembrance and for record keeping).
