[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reformedctrlz:
the reason that they are restricting the apps, is to make the system more stable. They want the experience to be amazing on every phone, eg making the hardware requirements so strict. They want to be able to evaluate what an app does to the system before it is released. They are making the submission parameters easier to comply with, so it will be easy to put your work on marketplace. They new marketplace specs for 6.5 will give developers the ability to make links straight to the app on the marketplace.

Initially I was starting to kinda freak out, but I think this is for the best. It will force people to use the marketplace, and since it won't support old apps, it will move all the applications for windows mobile to one spot, it is just one more way they are trying to compete with apple.

And on a side note, I'm not actually sure that winpho7 has a file explorer... Nothing in the demo gave me reason to think that one would be there. I think they are trying to replace explorer with the hubs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] M-en-M:
If you swipe left on the start page, you get a list of all your applications.

I don't think there's a seperate, categorised hub.

I believe you can also add shortcut tiles on the start page, but that's all I know.

(And yeah, I too would like to find out whether WP7 has a file explorer...)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] burnblue:
I don't mean to be rude but this doesn't make any sense.

Add your favorite applications to your Start Screen. All the rest are in a list when you swipe to the right.

Apps that fit a certain category would go in that category's hub. Why would you have Games in an Application hub and then have a Games hub? Remember under the Music&Video hub there was Pandora (right now they have it under a list of apps under the hub).. that's your Multimedia software.

I do agree that additional hubs would make sense.. we don't only care about people and pictures etc. but also things like RSS news updates, or like you said, location and navigation. An Internet hub would be a good place for Favorites/Bookmarks, History (shared across every installed browser), RSS, IE8 Web Slices, website notifications (not every update on Twitter and Facebook is by an actual person/contact), etc. If you give the same treatment to Location/Mapping, then suddenly you don't have the standalone apps of IE and Bing sticking out in the hub-centric experience.

but a bunch of shortcuts to different programs doesn't make sense as a hub, just pin them to Start.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JKingDev:
The problem is that you have to pay $100 for your spot at the marketplace table. Even if your app is free. Simply not fair. No more xda members coding up their own programs and releasing free.

And hubs is not a file explorer. I dont want a device that thinks it knows what I want to do with my files. If I want something that restricts where I get apps and what files I am allowed to store on my device I will get an iphone.

The only thing wp7 might have over iphone os (besides interface; I do think wp7 has a very cool and original ui; that is a matter of opinion though) is multitasking. While details are slim and it sounds like multitasking capability will be very restricted, it sounds like background processing will be available to third party apps at least in some form. Thats more than iphones can say.

Unfortunately I think its android time for me. But I'm not sad about it. Ive started really looking into it and it seems pretty cool. It has full multitasking now and the latest phones are sporting some awesome hardware. I will probably get my first android phone over the summer and i'm excited.

I'm not waiting nearly another year to get hands on an actual wp7 device. Maybe when more details come out it won't be so bad but I doubt it and I'm not waiting to find out. The direction of Microsoft is back in time toward more restriction and control of the product. It's time I jump ship to an open source OS. Sad because I love MS desktop products. My computing world is a constant battle between google and MS. I use windows 7, outlook, exchange, windows mobile office ect. But I choose google over ie, google over bing, and soon android over wm. Will be interesting to see how well this combination will play together.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] style1:
I don't think installing Cab files will change all too much..I believe it will be much like it is today except we aren't putting the cart before the horse this time. I mean Marketplace just launched months ago even though WinMo has been around for over a decade...its hard to have an effective marketplace when people who want apps know the better places to find them. This time around the app store will launch with the OS so i think it puts more emphasis on the App store (to the average consumer) as well as being better integrated into the phone...but who's/what's stopping us from just downloading Apps the same as usual? Microsoft has mentioned that Activesync will still work with WP7 (Zune will be just for music, pictures, movies) so why is it all of a sudden impossible just to do what we've been doing for years?

It seems odd the exodus that seems to be happening lately. Its like you guys were perfectly happy with with Windows the way it is now?!?! If you are then stay with it the way it is now..lol. I personally can't wait to the what the guys here are gonna come up with for HUB's...hell I can't wait for HTC to put their special touch on WP7..I can imagine the HUB put together in a TF3D fashion...with their own additions of Weather (with that gorgeous UI) stocks...etc. I'm not gonna lie...the possibilities are as endless in the future as they are with the current OS. I think it will be fun to see in about a year, how many of you guys who are riding the fence or doubting the upcoming release will change your minds.

I once had to drag my best friend on a double date....he didn't want to go, he complained the whole way there...saw the girl, and did everything he could to make an excuse to get out of there (she wasn't his type)...now they're married, crazy things happen when you give something a chance. I've waited 2+ years for this and won't back out now just because I see something I don't know the answer to...once I get the OS in hand I will make my decision. I think thats the most logical way

~style~
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JKingDev:
I think you have misunderstood the announcements. Activesync (as in sync with PC) will NOT be available. It also seems that there is no way to access the file system on the device. The only way to install apps is through the marketplace. They are removing the ability to just install a cab as we have always done. That is the problem. I am not saying I won't give it a chance. These points may turn out to be wrong. All I am saying is that current info suggests that this is the case and if so WP7 is not for me. Of course I am not going to pass final judgement until it is released. But since all indicators point to the negative I am not going to wait to find out for sure when there are tempting alternatives. And no I am not satisfied with WM as it currently is. The problem is that WP7 fixed what was wrong with WM6 and at the same time trashed everything that was good about WM6 (once again, nothing is for certain but this is what evidence points to).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] thanosc:
ok even if it's like that it's microsoft.

Even iphone has jailbreak. In our case we will not have to worry for warranty. :)

The so called no oem sw will return as bumerang on them.

This is the most hardcore forum on pda's and every one says bhaaaa on MS.

When they did their survey they mast asked only iphone and simple phone users, sertainly not wm users. :))

Amidst the hype of Win7Mo..are we forgetting the 6.7 somewhere??
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] derliebewolf:
Yeah! I was wondering what happened to the other roumors... And what may be the meaning of that word "Series"... Any speculation?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Livven:
Windows Mobile 6.5.3 will possily be rebranded to Windows Phone Classic Series and aimed at emerging markets and enterprise users. So that's the meaning of Series, good old WM will coexist :).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] circleofomega:
what saddens me is the fact tht it aint coming on X1..:(

so wanted to have the next best available OS............
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] matejdro:
I hope that happens. I hate that new hub interface.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] BBowermaster:
Ditto, plus, what happens if I don't have a data plan, does it all just go to crap? I use wi-fi when I need to connect.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] circleofomega:
I double that...The devs here are awesome....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ov2rey:
i tot windows mobile 6.6 release soon?

from what ive read they say it will be out in feb. . so not too much longer if the rumors are true.

Here you can join the early access for almost any android phone and give feed back.

This is TAThome for android: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOGmnnGpoqg

And here is the website: http://www.tat.se/

Thank you for your time :)

P.S i DO NOT work at TAT or have any relations with TAT all right go to TAT engineers and designers.
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
It looks amazing but I remember a similar demonstration for a 3D TAT interface on the N95 way back when, and nothing ever came of it. Is this getting a definite release?
[Nexus One General] QTeknology:
Seems really interesting...

I would like to try it
[Nexus One General] johnnie93:
I'm not 100% sure about this but i think it will be released because there is a sign up for getting early access, So the only thing to do right now is sign up and hope for the best

P.S i will give feed back and share videos here if i ever get the early access :)
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
Yeah, well I've signed up. Let's hope something comes of this
[Nexus One General] seraphimserapis:
Signed up, too.

I think this is not part of the "Nexus One Development" :D
[Nexus One General] 3Shirts:
Lol, I hadn't even noticed that we were in that section. I assumed it was themes and apps! Probably should be
[Nexus One General] SilentMobius:
No, other than the weather widget (which actually does a good job looking natural and making good use of space) I think that it's pretty much a bust. Unnecessary gestures and poor layout/viewing angles, this feely like a "me too" attempt at (ab)use of opengl.
[Nexus One General] Mikey:
Moved to general......
[Nexus One General] jp_macaroni:
No thanks.

Looks cool but its just too much eye candy to me.
[Nexus One General] jabreu203:
How do I sign up for early access? I don't see a link on their site.

Thanks

press 'take the tour', you'll see the email notify thingy on the next page

you didn't look around there too awful hard, didja ? ;)
[Nexus One General] johnnie93:
if only there was a way for people to use their software's because I'm sure if they release it to the public there will be a lot of people willing to make GUI's even better then that.

THe chances of using Win7Mo on X1 look slim, So i thought why not use the next best OS..

Also, can't we update the CE of X1...just asking, i don't know the technicality...

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ring-bearer:
Circle': The general thought is that Microsoft has a two-tiered strategy: WM7 for the masses, but still supporting WM 6.x for business-type users. I suspect that we will continue to see WM 6.x and above ROMs leaked here. My guess is that MS will continue to polish the UI and increase finger friendliness.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunie:
Sexist?

Dayum your an idiot.

@circle: Call Microsoft also Google is your friend.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oTToToTenTanz:
@Lunie, don't feel offended :P

@thread starter: I don't get your message. There wont be any cooked winMo 7 for x1, thats for sure. And right now we're not doing anything else than you suggested: using the most up to date wm 6.5 (6.6 - 6.7). What about it?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
Supporting WM6.x does not mean continued development. Support in the sense that MS supported XP after Vista. <insert Vista Rant in another thread>

Let's consider Windows Mobile out to pasture. It was fun while it lasted, but now it's time to move on. If they could make WM any more modern they would have done so by now.

every time I try to play a station, it tells me that an unexpected error occured and to press next, but when i do nothing happens. this happened with the old one and this cab
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] sirphunkee:
It seems that cab won't work due to slacker cutting off access via the WM app until they're ready to release the final version.

However, there's a workaround available in THIS thread, cab is attached to post #75.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] strikewolf:
cool that worked thanks a lot
[Touch Cruise General] Terrarist:
Am using an unmodified Win 6.1 rom and whenever I have my USB headset connected I run the risk of the phone calling the last number I dialled by itself.

Also sometimes Cyberon's Voice Speed Dial settings window comes up and since the screen's active at this point it could be doing any number of things while it's in my pocket.

How do I disable this?
[Touch Cruise General] Terrarist:
I found that ssdaemon was a contributing factor so i've removed it from my startup list and ended the process.

Annoyingly I have to keep ending the process, since it keeps starting up whenever a sound comes through.

And it still dials by itself when I put it in my pocket or any similar space. Keylock doesn't make a difference and i've taken it out and pressed all the button combos i can find to emulate it but that doesn't work.

[HD2 General] therealtarmak:
Well I've got the same problem: my HD2 is simlock under orange network and all the websites I've tried can't find my unlcok code (I've tried XDA website links too)

To explain a bit more what's my problem is:

I've bought this phone in early 2010 june in new caledonia (where i live), It was allready unsimlocked, but it was allthough a defective phone, so I sent it back to HTC aftersales in France and they return it to me repaired BUT, as a repair they have change the radio card for a new one that is simlocked.

I've send mails to HTC who told me to ask Orange france and orange france, as I don't have an orange phone number told me to ask HTC.

And no f***ing site do have this f***ing unlcok code... so I'm the happy owner of a simlocked phone I paid about 742€... and non solution to unlock it :'(
[HD2 General] Serionelite:
What network do you want it on? I'll swap it with mine provided it's in good condition :P

Mine will only not work on the o2 network. That's the only thing wrong with it :P

Does someone knows is there a version of Manila2D v2.0 build 19191432 porting or resizing to VGA.

This version of Manila consumes less RAM then Sense so we can have latest wm6.5 and manila with enough program memory.

Here you can see how m2d v2.0 looks like.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stevesuk:
Slightly off-topic, but still about the HTC HD Mini...

I was reading about this new handset last night, and thinking that once its out (and we have access to the ROM), it would be a better starting point for converting HTC Sense to VGA handsets like the Diamond, since the screen resolutions are closer.

At the moment, Sense 2.5 has to be squeezed on to our VGA screens, but the version on the HTC HD Mini must have been designed to fit on a smaller screen from the outset?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pijMleko:
Good idea, I did not think about it

Hi I have

HTC Himalaya PH10A

[CE OS 5.2.23001 (Build 23001.5.0.60)]

and I want to upgrade my radio v1.06.01

I downloaded two radio versions v1.17 and v1.19

i read that v1.17 is most stable version,

and v1.19 has a flight mode issue but it is the latest version

I dont use flight mode so I would like to upgrade to v1.19

but my connector is broken so i can only use SD card

so my question is how to upgrade new radio with SD card on my himalaya

i cant find this anywhere i used search and nothing, or im searching wrong ;)

pliz help! :confused:

1.17 is better anyway.

but i didnt get an answer how to upgrade new radio with SD card :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] Huefu:
i think it's no so easy to upgrade your hima from sd, you need to have a sdcard backup for have some information and the only way for do a sdcard backup it's to have your connector.

i think it's better to solder your connector on your motherboard.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] HTCMDA2:
i already done the rom upgrade with sd card, friend has the same himalaya and we did it with his!

but is it the same process for radio rom install with sd card??
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
Don't know it exactly, it should be the same. Can you wait about 2 or 3 weeks.

I'll disassemble the old one of aeroflyluby and use the spare parts. Are you able to solder a new used connector or is the mainboard damaged?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] HTCMDA2:
i think its not damaged, idiot in some mobile service soldered only 2 pins just for charging but usb doesent work, i dont even have a usb cable or a cradle so i find out few months later at my friends place, i seen this when i opened my himalaya the guy didnt even tell me that he done that :mad:

but i cant solder small pins like that, even he couldnt do it i think!

i would like to update my radio cause sometimes i cant get normal connection in places where is normal signal, and for the battery life cause my battery lasts on only one day if i use it a little
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 6 Upgrading] muckelmaus:
Did you test this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=596798

Underclocking when the phone isn't used works fine. You don't have to overclock, if you don't want to! Just set max speed to 400mHz.

So, it is a new connector badly mounted to your device? There should be a workaround to fix it, maybe someone else knows to fix that easyly !?!
