Application for Windows Mobile that allows for Hotmail/Live Mail Contact and Email syncing. Includes a Live Messenger chat client and two Today plugins (one which launches Windows Live Mobile Search in PIE)

You can download various builds of the app from this thread.

Live Search

A great Mapping and Local search program for Windows Mobile and Blackberry (Competes with Google Maps program)

Download it from http://wls.live.com

Hope that helps anyone confused with the insane naming scheme MS came up with.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I'll add that Live search with the Kaiser's GPS is very good, center on your location find a location and then it will draw a route on-screen and give turn-by-turn directions on a moving hybrid satellite map with chimes at turn points with text instructions. It doesn't have "heading up" but it's very impressive. I believe Google maps will do something similar, I keep both on-board.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] martuk:
Is there a way to get live search on the today screen? I have installed it but does not show up in the options to display.

Did you try with smaller sparse image size ?

make_ext4fs -s -l 30000M -a data mydata.img /data

The sparse will grow until max partition size.

Did you play with "img2simg" as well ? (not simg2img)

Have been busy porting the SM-T285 to OmniRom 5.1, would just like to post the progress so far:

I've managed to reach a point where I managed to get graphics working and bring up the Android Home screen, however I still need to fix wifi, bluetooth,cellular.

If anyone can point me to someone who has experience porting spreadtrum devices, esp the sc8830 please pm me.

Below is a semi working SM-T285 device tree that I am currently working on:

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] TopTongueBarry:
How is this coming along. I see you've been working on it right through last night. Any progress with the RIL?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
I got rild working, now trying to get wifi up.

Current OMNIRom status for the SM-T285.

1. Phone/LTE Services - OK

2. Graphics (hwcomposer/gralloc) - OK with bugs

3. Wifi - Still need to fix wpa_supplicant issues OK (10/20/2016)

4. Bluetooth - Broken, stock uses a custom bluedroid lib, will need to reverse engineer bluetooth commands

5. Audio - OK

6. Accelerometer - OK

7. GPS - Not Tested

8. USB Services (adb, tethering) - OK

9. Camera - Broken

Will post ROM once I sort these issues out.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] venomrat:
:cool: Looking forward to this. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
I've just switch to porting OMNIRom 6.0 to the SM-T285, screenshots here:

SM-T285 running marshmallow

ril got broken when moving from 5.1.1 unfortunately, so working to get it back on. However there are now no more graphical bugs, the SM-T285 actually runs impressively on the Marshmallow :)

A release should be happening this week, I hope I beat samsung to Marshmallow with this device :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] venomrat:
Awesome. :cool:

Just curious. Will safety net pass? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
Haven't tried, however I am led to believe that safetynet fails in general for all custom roms that is not based on stock like CyanogenMod or Omni.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] Nando14sunny:
Hello there, your work looks very good so far! Its good to see that someone finally takes care of the Tab A 7.0 :)

Are u planning a T280 Release too? :)

Greetings
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Guides, News, & Discus] jedld:
I don not personally have an all in one guide that I am following. There are various sites that provide bits and pieces of it, for CM, they have their own porting guide here: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

Unfortunately, the guide above is only good for creating an initial setup. To be able to make the rom work on your device, you are probably going to need a bit more, sites like android open source provides a brief overview of how the bits and pieces work at a low level:

https://source.android.com/devices/index.html

I also had to deal with SELinux, and this is the part where there is a lot of lacking tutorials.

Next is mostly device specific. The best case scenario is if your device already has a CM port available (previous version) or if a device with similar hardware has it. If the SM-T350 already has a CM port available somewhere then your job is going to be a bit easier. If not it is going to extremely hard depending on what sort of hardware you are dealing with. There are some hardware manufactures that provide good support like Qualcomm and those that aren't so good at it Spreadtrum *cough*. In my own experience with the SM-T285 there aren't many devices with CM around that sport the same hardware, the best I got going was a Samsung Galaxy Core (core33g) CM port that I found in github after looking really hard. The real challenge is figuring out how things work and what "changes" the specific manufacture did to existing aosp. There are times where you are forced to use the stock (proprietary) libs and attempt to shim(patch functions) them to work.

I already have experience compiling CM from source since I also have a Nexus 5 which has pretty good support. I also have several years experience as an Android Developer as well as prior dev experiences related to Java/C/C++. You should also be familiar with the languages used in building android namely C/C++, Java as well various scripts as well as dealing with linux as there would be times when you need to make modifications to backport/forwardport functions used by proprietary libraries.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
so exactly at 12 i called up t-mobile and pre-ordered my v20. the price of the phone is $769.99. i also took advantage of the free tablet offer. getting an LG G Pad X 8.0. looking forward to that. never really had a tablet. definitely going to root it and unlock it. in t-mobiles system they only had the titan color, which is what i wanted anyways. can't wait to finally have the phone in my hand....:o
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mingkee:
X 8.0 is a decent tablet and you will love it.

It's rootable with dz and LGUP.

I will pay off and trade in my V10 for it.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
Hmm.. I'm a bit too tired to call T-Mobile, but their website shows nothing thus far.

I'm still very hesitant.. I don't mind waiting a bit to see if LG will allow an official bootloader unlocker for the H915. But T-Mobile phones have been unlockable in the past. I don't know which one will see more developer action :(
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tidbits:
If you log into MyT-Mobile you can order it. I actually ordered mine 10 minutes before Midnight PST :)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
I ordered through the website this morning. I'm sort of curious since the website doesn't have it as pre-order and it's showing a ship date of 10-17 to 10-24 and the phone as in stock. So I'm cautiously optimistic that I could have this thing in hand this week.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Going to walk into the local dealer and order at 10am. Figure I've bugged them long enough that I should. Also going to take advantage of the phone trade-in. I see online that there are two tablets available. Is the one you listed the better of the two?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flipovich:
Ordered mine through T-Mobile as well!! It's expected to ship as early as today; can't wait. I didn't do the tablet because the customer service said you had to keep the data plan open for 2 years, which makes it a not free tablet since the plan is $10 per month. I'll get the headphones whenever the phone gets in, though, so that's a plus! Definitely looking forward to getting this now that my Note 7 is gone and I'm back to my Note Edge that has a bunch of dead pixels :(

Just a note on this, I ordered through the web then called the customer support because the shipping upgrade I did hadn't processed properly. The person on the phone said the phone is already backordered as of just a few minutes after I ordered and that any new orders from this point forward likely won't ship until early November.

Now I just need to find a solid case and buy the stylus!! :)

New V20 video from t-mobile with @ askdes

https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=nkkAb8cPw6s
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
So much for the tablet. I don't use much of the tethering I already have. I don't need another data plan.

And that's not cool that they're already sold out. I was going to trade in my N6 and use my cracked Note 3 until this got here but I'm not willing to use the Note 3 that long. LG has made us wait long enough. They really should have had more stock in country than this.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] flipovich:
Still worth a shot! You may order at the same time that someone else cancels an order! Plus, the phone customer service person seemed to have thought that it had been on backorder for several hours already, so maybe they sell from a different pot of phones than the web does. Look at buying on the web as that's what I did and got a ship out date of this week. Definitely worth it, IMO. I'm sitting on a Galaxy Note Edge that has several green lines running down the screen until I get this one, lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Just realized my old Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a 4G phone that I can trade in. And hoping you're right about separate pots but that's not usually the case.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] haris163:
I wonder if they have additional stock coming in that is not accounted for.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Unaccounted for? Probably not. Sounds like the next ones don't hit the country until well into November. Someone said they were quoted 11/15-12/15. I've yet to order mine. Heading to the store here in a little bit to do it. LG really keeps dropping the ball on this one. They better hope rumors of something really awesome don't hit before the V20 ships.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
T-Mobile stores will have them in stock on release day. The ones being shipped to you through pre-orders will not cut into the stores stock.

For those of you being quoted a November ship date, just walk into a T-Mobile store on release day.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
So it looks like you do have to be careful about which 4G phone you try to trade in. They just use a database and if your phone isn't in it, too bad. My Galaxy Nexus didn't make the cut so I'll have to send them my Nexus 6 instead. And just to note, they only apply the actual trade in value. (In my case $60) You have to fill out some promotion that I can't seem to find and they (LG?) send you a check for the rest of the amount. So for me, that would be the other $140.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
Curious as to when that is?

Reason I ask, call me a conspiracy theorist if you must. T-Mobile is facing a potential customer dip due to the Note 7 fiasco. What better way to avert potential customer base loss (device lease fees etc.)by getting the V20 out as quickly as possible, primarily before the Google Pixel hits the streets... Do they actually have them in stock, or are they baiting customers? Seems odd to completely skip the "preorder" phase and go straight to "In-Stock" and shipping 17-24 October...

I am actually one of those folks, preordered the Pixel XL on October 4th which should be here this week. However, now with the V20 available I still have time to cancel my Google order and pick up the LG.

So now I have both on order and "technically" should have both by the end of the week. As outlined though, I doubt the V20 ships to anyone this week... Of course I could be way off base, but think the V20 thing is a tad more than coincidental...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I think the backorder situation on both phones is driven by the Note 7 fiasco. People are grabbing for the next best phones available.

Other than the battery issue, I think both phones are a step down from the Note 7.

I too was told early to mid November for delivery while my order acknowledgement says this week. I guess it'll be here when it gets here.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
I just spoke with T-Mobile help on twitter. They checked my order and confirmed the 10-17 to 10-24 shipping date was correct. They're probably trying to get these out as quick as possible due to the Note 7 recall and the massive iPhone 7 back-order. I paid for overnight shipping, so I'm hoping that it really does ship today. I'll update in this thread as soon as I get a tracking number.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] zainqaiser:
I just orderer mine via phone. Shipping date 10/17 to 10/24. He did not give me overnight shipping, i dont know if it will be cause of any delay. I'll update u guys as soon as i get any.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
I was not offered that option.

I'm wondering if we can have it added afterwards. Regular shipping is ground shipping, 7 days. Which means it is possible you might not get the phone until after it hits stores if it ships towards the end of the window.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLovo313:
Mine arrives today, I ordered on the 18th. Case arrived yesterday so I'm ready!!!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
I believe they are going to update today for you and deliver it tomorrw. After all they are spending more moving the packagw from one place to another instead of delivering it. So, lets hope the deliver it tomorrow for you.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] inuyasha1999:
Just got my tracking info a little while ago, but no estimated delivery, yet. Unfortunately, I had to go with ground shipping, so we'll see how long it takes to get here.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrcarterac:
How does the trade for $200 work. I got a loaner last week from T-mobile, should I just return the loaner or will I receive the trade in credits.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jrwingate6:
I picked mine up this morning from my local UPS facility and I ordered it on Tuesday night with free overnight shipping. I always get free overnight shipping because I have been a T-Mobile customer since 2005.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] inuyasha1999:
My tracking info finally updated on the UPS website. Looks like they bumped up my shipment from ground to 3 Day Select :D. No delivery date, yet, as it's still in label created status, but it's still better than ground! lol
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLovo313:
For the $200 LG Promotion you have to trade in any 4G phone in working condition that's fully paid off/clean IMEI. If you have one lying around at home you can use that even if the trade in credit is worth $0 to T-Mobile. Some of us purchased cheap 4G phones from Amazon/Walmart and trading those in. The one I purchased from Amazon cost me $17.99.

Sent from my LG V20.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
I've been a customer longer than that I don't get free overnight shipping. Heck, they don't even acknowledge my length as customer anymore when I call in. They used to tell you the number of years.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
did you ask for overnight shipping?? i have been with t-mobile for almost 20 years. i just told them that and that i had gotten frree next day shipping on my note 7 and they gave me it on the v20 no problem.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] jinkerz9430:
I have been a customer for 1 year and 8 month, and i asked for the standard shipping. I didnt pay a thing for shipping, and i got overnight instead :eek: . They scheduled for monday, yet they delivered yesterday at 3 pm. (the package was given to UPS on thursday 10 AM. )
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Ordered in store and the rep never offered shipping options or insurance. I never take insurance as there's always some sort of catch to it but I would have jumped on the option for faster shipping.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] iLLxLBPSTi:
yup...I told them to give me free shipping since of all the bull**** I went through with my Note 7...
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] BlackKnight23:
I ordered min through customer care at 7am on the 17th with overnight, received it on the with was shocked and happy.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dvanzutphenkann:
Anyone find it odd that they didn't ask what color you want between the 2 said to be manufactured?

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

They did that about the note7 too and people got it on time, I think they're just playing it safe we should get it on or before launch!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] douger1957:
I think T-Mobile is only carrying the device in Titanium, at least at the beginning. That's what I was told when I ordered.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dvanzutphenkann:
Damn I wanted silver but small hill to die on so I'll go along hahaha
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] StaticMoot:
I ordered mine via the website which gave shipping options. I swear, every time my pebble vibrates on my wrist, I hope it's a shipping confirmation from T-Mobile. I'm ready to be done with my wife's old G4 and be back on an SD820 device.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] probablecauzdnb:
titan is the only color available right now

as far as them showing the phones as being back ordered till november what the rep i am talking to know said is that is just what the system shows until the phone is released. it's a glitch in their system. anyone who pre-ordered should receive it on or around the release date. she said that a pre-order would definitely be fulfilled before someone who could just walk in to a store on the release date
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nerowoof:
I just got off the phone with a rep and placed a pre order for the V20. I asked when it would ship out and she said immediately (we shall see) but its all preordered and once i get it i just have to bring my note 7 into the store. We quick and simple for me.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
ordered over the phone (may not be a great idea, due to the upgrade fee)

charges incl,

Phone

*$20 upgrade fee (WTF is this?)---[called back and it appears that if you preorder ONLINE, you do not have to pay $20---so they gave me an account credit so as not to mess with the preorder ship date]

*$24 overnight shipping (Oct24 estimated ship date--man this used to be $10 overnight--tmobile is getting $$)

*$20.40 for LG G PAD, 2nd generation (free overnight shipping- Nov.1)[DO NOT accept the e-confirmation, this is a bate and switch offer. They will confirm the order, THEN charge you for a SIM card, and then it is a monthly data fee to get the tab for free. Now I am required to ship the device back, and wait for a refund on my credit card...This is after of course one rep, said I would NOT be charged for a new data acct. Good luck]

*Headphones promo. you have to apply to the promo website, once you have an valid IMEI, and then wait for shipping.

not a good as the V10 promo (low price, free 200gb card +battery pack+ free overnight shipping)
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] tribalartgod:
I ordered mine a little bit ago. Went pretty smooth. I added mine to my account with my G5 (still making payments on this one too), but told them I did not want a plan on the V20, just the phone. They added it to my EIP with no issues. Should have it Friday.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] CHH2:
Just a note for those who haven't ordered yet, make sure you ask about shipping options before you complete the order. I tried to change my shipping after the fact and the reps I've spoken with so far said they cannot do that.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Nerowoof:
Really? I didn't get charged anything.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Amd4life:
yeah hence the credit, each rep is different, hence why xda is so valuable so folks can read others experiences and not get screwed.

BS tmobile, straight BS
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] mgymnop:
Just canceled my order of the Pixel XL. T-Mobile had a great offer for the V20. 200 bucks trade-in for my old phone, free B&O headphones and a free tablet (which I don't need but will give to my nephew). The phone altogether costs me slightly above 550 bucks. In comparison to the almost 1,000.00 for the Pixel XL that seems like a steal even if I have to compromise with certain things. The Pixel has no wow effect other than some software gimmicks. I will get a Pixel 2nd gen next year. Hopefully then with some fantastic hardware.

Estimated shipping date 17-24th of October.

Has anyone seen a demo unit in a T-Mobile store yet? Just wondering if anyone knows if there are any out there besides AT&T..

Sent from my awesome T-Mobile LG V10!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AhsanU:
So I just ordered through T-Mobile as well. I was originally going to wait to see what bootloader unlock options there were, but I'd rather save the $200.

But as mentioned by many of you guys, the G Pad was a bit of a disappointment. I'm not willing to pay $10 a month for data on a tablet.

I got free expedited shipping without asking. As well as the over-the-phone charge waived simply by asking. You'd be surprised by what you can get by asking. No activation fee either, since as a business client I don't get charged that.

I was told that the phone will ship on the 28th. Some of you say it'll be sooner because of the Note 7 fiasco, I hope so! Looking forward to having this bad boy and going back to on screen buttons, rather than this physical button on the S7 Edge.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Steve Lazarus:
I doubt anyone will see a V20 until we get much closer to the 28th which is the official launch date. I know we've received preorders early in the past, but to entirely skip the preorder period ????? Am I the only one who thinks we've been baited? I mean the official launch date for B&M's is the 28th!!! I've yet to see a phone available two weeks prior to it's official release date, and if it is the case, why don't stores have them? Shady Sh*t IMO
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] vinyl3131:
Did anyone's credit card get charged yet? Mine was charged for the phone and tax on the tablet. I thought they didn't charge until it was shipping. Confused.

Edit:

I ordered from the store this morning around 10 am.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] bambam126:
Yes just spoke to tmobile they said online you order through lg they send it same day so if you picked over night it will be here tomorrow. In stores it will be out on the 28th guys we are getting this phone this week it has been confirmed I'll report tomorrow and I'm sure I'll have it as well as many of you
