I doubt any of the 'cookers' work for Microsoft. Although difficult, it's fairly common to reverse-engineer someone elses code and mold it into something that you want. Once you get the hang of how things work and make the script kiddie tools to do it, it's fairly simple.

One thing that a cooker can't do is write an entire OS then 'leak' it onto the internet and call it WM6, this is done by someone entrusted with copies of it for legitimate purposes. Blame HTC or any of the ODM's if you want, but it my opinion, it would be a waste of your time.

If you want to infect the world, you must spread your disease. MS has come a long way in this regard with the likes of gaining on Palm, RIM, symbian, etc.

Microsoft has always leveraged piracy to work in their favor...those that can't get the disease (or otherwise can't afford it) will have access to it. If you can't make the sale, might as well get them hooked fo' free!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] rizzo:
Sorry, but I had to chime in on this one, too. Maybe some people don't see it, but we ARE actively beta testing their software.

If you develop software, and want to have beta testing do any good, there needs to be some kind of order. Visiting forums to find information is chaotic at best. Sifting through page after page of hijacked threads and RTFM type questions isn't going to yield the feedback a company needs to squash the bugs out of code. If enough people complain about a particular 'feature' then it might get the company to try and replicate it in-house, but its very unlikely that you'd ever hear anything back from them.

End-users modifying their devices by flashing it with unreleased firmware it wasn't originally designed for is dangerous, and can cause a ripple effect if it's not managed. As long as the company stands by its "hey, we never said this code was finished - not to mention you're not supposed to have it" stance, it can shield them from almost ALL liability in you bricking your phone. In the mean time, hardcore folks like us will continue shoving the bleeding-edge not-ready-ware into our phones in order to tell the tales of our adventures to all that will listen - and MS will continue "leaking" their warez into the wild.

The minute Microsoft starts bending these rules for folks like us, then they are going to have to answer to THEIR customers (HTC, network providers, etc) when the nOObs start flooding their call centers for warranty-return requests.

Totally agreed texasaggie1 said but dont forget in all devices rom ,MS just part of 70% of rom others 30% belong to HTC,T-mobile...etc, the reason we need to cook rom in here not really problem belong to MS that belong to HTC,

MS understand HTC was first OEM used Mobile window,but MS can understand why we need to cook rom in here ? do you hear anyone cook Window XP ? MS must understand device rom is different with Window XP,MS just proved PB and AKU ,device also need driver and some of OEM program otherwide device(phone) will not working,you can see in rom kithen had OS/LOC/OEM , SO belong to MS,LOC/OEM belong to HTC,T-Mobile..etc. this is different with window XP,if today all rom made by MS than no one can said anything,but not in this case ,we in here not only help MS also help HTC,T-Mobile...etc. too, they got how many free employees to worked with them,now Apple will come out IPhone ,I dont think MS want to lose market to them,we in here 100% support to MS , I dont understand what piont they refuse us ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] texasaggie1:
I agree. Good reply.

I know all of this is a long shot. But it's been bugging me lately. I had to post this letter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] BA_Flash_GOD:
Flashing/Testing New OS = Good Experience

I think M$ should show more of the average users that yes, you can upgrade/downgrade your current rom very easily. This would let all users have the option to use any individual one to meet their needs. I'm guessing another big issue would be CID locking though, wouldn't that be another breech of contract for M$ to the original phone service providers? What you guys think
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Master K:
I am sorry, please don't take this the wrong way. But this is one of the silliest ideas I have seen in a long time. Think for a moment about the support headaches from even 20% of their users playing with ROMS versus the 2-3% that do it now. And you think some of the NOOBS on here get annoying forget about regular users!!!

I think things are about perfect the way they are. A little "unofficial" help lets us hardcore users reap the benefits of upgrading with out the hassles. Trust me if ROM upgrades became more official they would kill groups like this. They would charge for the upgrades and they would want to control them like they do desktop OS upgrades. I say no thanks to that. It's like the early days of Napster, or more recently You Tube taking down tons of videos, those things were much better before they became mainstream and then they had to change.

I will say this. MS should figure out how to make the CID & SIM Lock a separate part of the rom like the radio and bootloader, make it totally separate from the Rom & Extended Rom itself. That would allow tweakers to change roms with out worrying about Locks and would make the phone companies happy too. And I am sure users that need unlocking would figure that out too :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] pencilcase:
anyone who wants to can use google. I seriously do not think that its neccesary to let the world know. they could know... if they wanted to. Bad idea imho.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] joannaex:
I'm sorry but I have to side with rizzo on this one. They will never officially come out and allow this because they can't. You are asking them to agree to a. Code leaking, b. Code theft, c. Software Piracy in a sense (since you have to not acquired a legal copy and have not paid licenses for it), d. Copyright infringement. What company in their right mind say yes to this and open up the flood gates? And like rizzo said allow them to be liable for consumer or partner lawsuits as well?

As much as I agree with the original heartfelt post, we say what we say for argument's sake. They have already responded numerous times by allowing this and turning a blind eye. Every now and then they complain, either because we did step on some toes or because they officially have to say this is not allowed. If they really tried, they could cause some serious legal trouble. They choose not to, for a all the reasons mentioned in the original post.

So don't ask the impossible. Don't expect windows to become an open source application or windows mobile to release official betas to the public (not for sometime anyway). Pigs just don't fly sorry.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] igalan:
I have to agree with Rizzo. Besides, Microsoft won't spend resources on releasing ROMs for old devices, giving them for free to users and then having no way to recover some of the investment, because the Wizard is being phased out. It doesn't make sense.

However Microsoft can open a program for betatesting their ROMs, that is completely possible. A program that involves registering every user that gets the ROM, once we agree not to ask for support and all the legal stuff. And provide the means to keep track of bug reporst, etc. But still if you want to beta test something, you want to do it on the device where it's intended to be used the final release, and I don't think our Wizards are going to get an official WM 6 upgrade.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] texasaggie1:
It's a long shot

It's a long shot, but they do allow WM6 in the Universal thread. Maybe they will for us. Maybe we try again to post WM6 roms in a few weeks and see what happens??

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Skyguard!:
Pretty much new to rooting and installing custom roms to android devices. My SG3 previously was rooted and had a 4.2 Liquidsmooth jellybean rom the reason it isn't anymore is because for some reason unbeknownst to me i got stuck at the start up animation for LS so i flashed it back to stock using odin and the stock .tar from CNexus (Thanks A lot!!!!) effectively unrooting my phone and taking my rom with it. This root and om install was not done by me but by my brother. i wasnt involved in the process so i dont have any idea of how it works. From what i know he did it all using ToolKit, and i have no understanding of how to root using ToolKit, Is there an advantage to do it that way or can you root using odin? and now to the topic of roms, i don't exactly understand what they are or how you install them to my phone. If anyone could directly help me or link me to some tutorials that would be amazing (Can't for the life of me stand stock rom). i would rather have hands on help considering its my first time doing this. don't wanna brick my phone or anything. Thanks for reading!!! :D

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exleh:
So after having my rooted NCG Galaxy S5 for months, my daughter decided to drop it off the balcony and shatter the screen. So I paid my deductible and recieved my replacement from Asurion today. It was a brand new (not refurbished) S5 and of course it has the latest update (NI2) preinstalled. So my question is, how can I root it? Or can I even root it?

I saw the guide about retaining root when updating from NHA, but it says a rooted NHA build is required from the get go.

Thanks in advance for your help, my friends!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00143:
You should be able to root it. Give my guide a try under How to root NI2. All the required files are there in one easy spot. It works for me every time, just read the directions and follow them and you should be fine.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] spider_j:
I always used AvantGo on my old PPC, so wanted something similar for my Exec. I found Newsland on MS's website (yeah, I know, I deserve everything I get) and it had some good reviews.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the website I'm supposed to register with is no longer in existance. The only site I can find is in Russian.

I thought "Stuff it" and tried to remove the software. I used settings>remove on the Exec. It has gone from the program list, but the software is still there. I tried removing it through Activesync, same result; gone from the program list, still on the Exec. I've tried a soft reset, it's still there, taking up room. Any ideas?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Laurentius26:
Newsland Remove

Hi,

I think the following is happened:

The Today screen plugin of Newsland was still active wen you tryed to remove Newsland. What you need to do is, try to install the software again, and when this is done deactivate the today plugin. Than remove the program again. After that you can look with the File Explorer and look at Program Files if the map Newsland still excist's. If so, you can delete it!

Hope this helps,

Cheers Leo ;)

Landscape view

Hi,

Yes it does, I love this app, works smoothly!

Leo :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] spider_j:
Thanks Laurentius26, I'll try it now.

To the person asking if AvantGo works - it does work, just fine, in landscape or portrait. Just go to the AvantGo website and download the latest version. Annoyingly, it insists on syncing through it's own software rather than going through Activesync, and it seems slower to upload than it was on my 3 year old RX3715.

Still, it does the job just fine. I wanted to try something a bit different, so I may have a look at the other suggestions.

Edit - worked like a charm. Thanks again.

PPS = irrelevant, unless you're hovering over the screen with a magnifying glass LOOKING for "fault" - are you kidding me?

>> http://lifehacker.com/do-i-need-a-1080p-display-in-my-smartphone-1450793273 <<

Battery life = the battery life on the 2nd gen is barely different to the 2st gen, and battery life is a subjective issue (or non-issue) as we ALL use phones differently. But wait - you say that the 2nd gen battery life is an issue? So, do you think it would be better with MORE pixels?

Possibly these are merely comments from speculators, not actual owners of both. (which I am).

With the greatest respect, I think I trust Motorola to know what they're doing, since they've been in the electronics and radio game almost forever, and have been for MANY, MANY years before most XDA members were even born. They are also the creators of the FIRST EVER mobile phone... not that mobile phones are the only product they make - I doubt many people on forums are aware of the immense breadth and depth of Motorola's overall military, commercial and electronics component products portfolio, over the years; they ain't just the shiny consumer face of "Hello Moto!" - that's about 1% of Motorola.

Camera is not that different, so upgrading just for that would be a waste.

[Moto G General] Kunal5894:
Okay, you've posted this on Moto G 1st Gen thread so you're most likely going to get biased response.

Hear me out, this is from a person who had a Moto G 1st Gen and is currently using the 2nd Gen.

Go for the 2nd. People on here are talking about the camera without having any first hand experience, it is much much better than the 1st Gen especially the low light performance and even the led flash is way way better.

In terms of display, there's not a big difference, people just want to compare specs on paper. The display is just as beautiful as the 1st Gen.

And battery, I used to get 6 and a half hours SOT on G1 and on G2 I get 6 hours 10 minutes. Still above average. Go for it, don't waste your money on the 1st Gen cause Gen 2 will most likely get one major upgrade more than the Gen 1 anyway.
