Doesn't really take much time.

You install applications and run them on Windows 7

You install application and run them on Windows 8

Windows 8's boot time is noticeably faster though .
[Off-topic] USBhost:
True win 8 boots faster

But it fluctuates fast~slow

But in win 7 boot time was always the same

which was nice
[Off-topic] karandpr:
Is it ?

Boot time in Windows 8 is always consistent for me .

However on my Windows 7 ,it's goes downhill in 3 months.

Also ,both of the versions have same software installed.

the boot issues on Windows 7 are noticeable on both my laptop and desktop.

Desktop is C2D 2.8Ghz + 4GB RAM + 512 MB gfx card

Laptop is Ci5 2.4 Ghz + 6 GB RAM + 2GB gfx/hybrid

Well for me

Reboot = fastest

Turn off/turn on = slow

Hard turn off/turn on = even slower

But on win 7 all the same
[Off-topic] karandpr:
Mine is somewhat like this

Reboot from-to Windows 8=Fastest

Turn/off and on Windows 8=Fast

Hard turn off and on =fast

Switch from Linux to Windows 8=fast

Boot Linux Mint= fast

Boot Windows 7= So slow that it's painful to see it boot. Reminds me of Windows Vista.

I download something called Classic Shell on every windows 8/8.1 I install. It gives you a true start button but also gives you the option to use metro. It also puts the windows 7 UI features into 8/8.1 to make it a more complete package.

Im not marketing here I love using windows 8.1 now and thats just my experience.

[Off-topic] zgss:
I was never able to get used to Windows 8. I still use it for school work and it's a nightmare! :(
[Off-topic] ShadowLea:
Goodness, I don't even remember this poll. :laugh:

10... In the beginning, it was okay. Not a fan of the fact you can't disable auto updates, but they did fix a lot of problems they introduced as 'features' in previous versions. (*Cough* Metro...)

The Anniversary Update was a nightmare that messed up over half my programs (including CC, which is how I earn a living). The Anniversary update broke all Font Managers, and they still haven't fixed it. I realize most people won't care, but it's kind of a big deal if your job is literally about using fonts. It's a bit stupid that we have to disable Windows' Font Service in order to be able to use fonts... :rolleyes:

The Creator's Update was even worse. Dear Micro$oft, you can't call something "For Gamers", and then break 90% of all games.

I went back to 8. Yea, really. It has its flaws, but at least my programs all work without issues, and I don't have to worry they break every time I turn off my system. :rolleyes: I have to be able to trust my OS. I can't trust 10, because every week some update breaks something else.

Between ClassicShell and some fiddling with the registry, things work as I want them to. Mostly.

Hi,

A couple of things...

1) Does anyone know of any conflicts between SPB Pocket+ and WA2? I just downloaded P+ and thinks it's fantastic, the only problem is hat my top and bottom taskbars are now back to the original 'blocky' style. Can these two programs run together?

2) I have seen screen shots of peoples today screen where they have a bluetooth icon. Where can I get this icon from? I want to be able to turn my bluetooth on and off at the touch of a button rather than having to go through comms manager (idle I know, but there you go). I have scoured my XDA looking for the icon and think I can safely say... it's not there!

Thanks for the help. Finally got my device rooted. So if i plan to flash this omni-4.4.2-20140522-n7000-NIGHTLY ROM - do I just save it on the SDcard and use the recovery mode?

By the way, since i'm choosing between Slim-n7000-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4078 and omni ROM - which one is better? I just want a smooth ROM that has good battery life.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxPixX:
First you'll have to flash raw kernel. Once you ahve flashed that, reboot into recovery and you can flash Omni ;)

I used to use Omni (haven't updated my signature in a while) and it was completely stable apart from the fuse bug. I believe Slim is based off CM and from what I have heard then all the ROMs based off of CM sources aren't very stable. In terms of performance, they should be more or less the same, Slim is lighter so it may be slightly faster. The battery life on both will be the same.

There are a few tweaks you would have to do to get better battery life on AOSP based ROMs, mainly disabling location services, blocking as many apps as possible from keeping the device awake (you can do that in Settings -> App Ops/Privacy Manager).

If you want something fast then you could try Carbon ROM (that's what I am using) but it is extremely unstable (at least for me, I haven't seen anyone else complaining).

You have to boot into recovery mode (hold down volume up, power button, home button until you are in). Once there, you can flash any 4.4 based ROM.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] prestonmcafee:
Usually outlook deletes to the deleted items folder, check to see if they are still there.

Otherwise, if you use a backup program on your ppc, you can restore an old version and get the contacts that way.

I am afraid if you didn;t have a back up copy you are fairly stuffed unless like the previous person said you can get a previous version back.

you can also be more boring and simply create a copy of your files within outlook that wont synch.

The danger there is you could lose your main Outlook.pst. Fine if you back up your PC.

Also, you can sign up for an exchange account from mail2web:

I also sync with two pcs, but in addition, I have spb backup which runs nightly and keeps three nights' worth. I occasionally save a backup permanently, e.g. before testing new software. SPB backup will let you restore just your PIM stuff, so you can roll back to any saved point.
