[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gom99:
Lots of reasons, I'm sure if you think about it you can come up with reasons why people could use a stylus. You just don't need to because you don't do things where a stylus would be nice really.

But I have clammy hands myself.

I hate when people make this point for 2 reasons.

1. A console is a PC, just a limited version...And you actually see consoles becoming less limiting allowing more PC like functions overtime not less. In the end Consoles are going to be home entertainment PCs. You'll surf the web on them, watch movies, etc. Gaming is converging with other traditional entertainment mediums and going into the same device.

I actually hook my xbox up to my monitor, and hook up my wireless kb to it as well. So the distinction is more blurred than the age of the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo.

2. Even with the fake separation of Console gaming vs PC gaming...if you look at things like sales of games, sure PC took a decline and consoles are "winning". However this does not account for the MMO market which is basically all PC. I don't see how people make this argument when there is a game with 15mill people worldwide paying 15 a month. PC games are moving away from Assassin's Creed 2, and more towards MMO style experiences. People aren't cranking out MMOs left and right because there's no profit to be made in PC gaming.

I think people that are really into games will carry extra accessories if they make them enjoy the experience more.

I'm not saying you can't make a game that's fun without traditional gaming hardware. I was just saying as the mobile gaming market grows you'll start to see more peripherals become a trend.

I can image a phone that's customizable, you can clip a kb to it, or a gamepad on any given day, or even another multitouch screen for virtual controls like a DS.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RustyGrom:
Correct. I'm not saying that there's no use for a stylus ever, just that the uses are minimal and the number of people that care to do so is even less.

I know what a console is but that's beside the point. The point is that it's a known standard HARDWARE/OS with very few variances. Game developers and users know exactly what they're getting. For example, for the original Xbox, devs knew they could use the hard drive because all consoles had them. On the 360, this is not the case and devs are not allowed to require them. It's all about fragmentation. Being able to watch movies, surf the web, etc does not add to the fragmentation of the platform.

Compare this to a PC. One machine might have a Core solo with onboard graphics and the next might have a i7 extreme with dual radeons. How do you develop for that massive difference? What if your game is best used with a controller, do you make them go buy one? This gets even more difficult when you introduce things like accelerometers, cameras, and multitouch. How come no (or maybe a couple) support these things? Because PCs don't have them. Some do, yes, but not enough. The dev has to shoot for the lowest common denominator.

And MMOs are relatively easy on the hardware. They aren't like your latest and greatest FPSs with amazing graphics. They're best suited for a mouse and keyboard which aren't present on consoles. It's not hard to figure out why those still exist on PC much more than on consoles. This is a prime example of fragmentation.

More fragmentation. How do you sell a game over the marketplace that has a list of caveats that users have to abide by? You're limiting your potential audience massively and going to cause headaches in support and user satisfaction.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Shasarak:
The HD2 does a pretty good job of this, but there are practical limits: there's no way the phone can tell if you meant to type "of" or "if", because both are legal; so if you hit one and mean the other, that can't be corrected (unless the software is sophisticated enough to understand the semantics of the entire sentence, and I don't expect phones to be passing the Turing test any time soon...).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wearefree:
I'm using Touch Pro2 with stock tmobile wm6.5 rom. All of a sudden the back button stopped working in opera mobile 9.5 (stock in the rom).

I have searched and found this key:

HKCU\ControlPanel\KeyBD\ChangeBackVKeyCode\Opera_MainWndClass

is responsible for this action. I double checked and the value is "8" which is the same as for IEMobile.

Currently in other places, back button behaves as expected (as software back for PIE, Bing, Start Menu, Youtube, and acts as system back elsewhere) but when in opera mobile when pressing back button simply nothing happens. Soft reset the phone and reset the registry key value to 8 doesn't seem to fix the problem. I have also tried to stop the opera process then restart opera mobile and still no change.

Does anyone else have this happening? Any ideas? It doesn't hurt the use of the phone but I'm curious why this is happening and how this can be solved.

Thank you!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] wearefree:
Strangely the problem is fixed by this way:

setting that registry key to number 7 then back to 8 fixed the problem.

I have no idea why this is happening, but simply glad that I can fix it now and maybe fix it again when this happens again. Now I'm seriously considering the android offering. Even with such a beauty as touch pro2, I still spend too much time on "making it work the way I wanted" than what I want to spend.

edit: after another the problem persists. oh well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] riri22:
The title says it all:

Is there any titanium plugin or manilla plugin that displays native sip status (available, selected, no service...) on windows mobile 6.5?

I know I can desactivate both and use the plain empty today screen in order to display that, but it's a pity to give up all the titanium or manilla features just for voip....

I know there are stuffs like 'second today' but last time I tried it, it was a bit buggy and not very well integrated.

first of all, I'm rooted and know what I'm doing.

after showing my friend, who also wants to root her g1.

she's not very tech savy so of course I'm doing it for her.

I'd like to know if there is a rom that doesn't have any of the features like terminal.

just the cosmetic feature like 5 home screens and stuff like that?

it's probably be best if I can just disable all root permission.

any way to do that?

also: Definitely no Apps to SD, I know roms do that automatically now but I'm not gonna try to explain partitioning, and I'm definitely not telling about starting up the recovery screen to give them the chance to wipe, partition or any of that stuff.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
@ace42 thanks. I'll stick with a 1.6, the 2.x roms aren't very stable yet. probably super d cause it's fastest and it's what I'm using now.

@protomanez ok, I wasn't aware that I can uninstall the apps like terminal. this helps so much.

@ everbody else: non tech-savy people always want things to work better but they never really understand how it works. I try to explain these thing, but it doesn't help

I also heard that for the roms that do use apps to sd, I can simply not have an ext2 partition and the rom will work normally (with very limited app storage space of course).

do the different roms leave you with different amounts of free space left? I don't really know about that since I've always used appstosd with my 8gig card but she's using a 2gig so I'd hate to partition it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] protomanez:
Pretty sure they do need to be partitioned with ext2. Requirements are requirements can't do anything about it mate.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swee08315:
then I suppose I should do enom since that one says ext partition is optional.\

Hi All, Just thought i would share this here in a new thread. I posted it elsewhere in another thread but i thought it should receive more recognition. As iPhone does have a myriad of apps already that we could definitely use. If the developers here could read this and possibly help start porting some apps it would push our phones in the right direction and is the next necessary step in moving forward.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] espaleena:
This kind of thread have been discussed many times & turn out to be a flaming thread instead.

There're many haters when you just mention the "iPhxne" in this forum, but too immature for their behavior.

Having great apps in any platform device have no wrong or restriction,

it's either users can accept it or not, like accepting another race in your own community.

But then let us see how many will these haters download the ported apps if was really done.

Allright, when I first saw the MS Keynote @MWC and all the Horizontal hubs, I couldn't help but thinking " Damn this would look pretty AWESOME on a Tablet "

I confess, before the anouncement of the iPad, I was pretty curious to see what Apple could offer in the Tablet segment, and as everyone, I was pretty much dissapointed. Then I saw an Android Tablet, but I dunno, it feels kinda ... empty.

And then came WP7S, and while it does look awesome on a phone, I wouldn't mind having that UI on a tablet...

Any thoughts on this?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] seed_al:
I can say that the Zune software looks absolutely awesome fullscreen on my desktop AND tablet.

Since WP7 looks a lot like Zune: Yes, would be a good slate interface.

(By the way: Only devices with inking support, i.e. a digitizer, are tablets. Devices with touchscreen only are slates.)

zune looks great on a tablet - but aint finger friendly

At the moment Zune is aweful to use with your fingers - they didn't seem to bother linking the Windows 7 gestures into the Zune 4 software.

agreed that the sliding hubs would be great to flick though on my tablet. There isn't a huge number of interfaces availalbe for Tablet PC's - and a WP7 overlay would be very neat.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] ajaholic:
I'm subscribed to the U.S. Holidays calendar on Google Calendar and recently noticed (Valentine's Day) that my calendar widget is off about holidays. For example on Feb 12, it said "Tomorrow: Valentines Day" on the widget, even tho Valentine day is on the 14th. Today (Feb 20) its saying Washington's Bday is tomorrow even though it is on 22nd. When I open up the actual calendar app, it is incorrect on that too. However, when I goto Google Calendar on my computer all the dates are correct. I'm not sure what is going on.

Also it seems to be only affecting this particular calendar (US Holidays), my personal calendars seem to be fine.

Is anyone experiencing this or is this a known issue. I couldn't find anything after searching.

Change Ur original 26948339_manila file. edit the file by using the zip file that UfOun provides. look for ordernr.5, copy that whole reader stuff and add it in ur original file. don't forget to change order nr.

I do want to give credit to drpfenderson, I took a few images from his framework-res.apk, until I modify them myself.

[Android Themes] ultra spikey:
I think I figured out why some people are having issues. Looks like SuperD's system partition needs to be mounted as read-write in order for the Metamorph to push the files. Just enter this in Terminal first to remount as read-write, then Metamorph.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

edit: nevermind, this worked the first time, then tried it again to test and now it won't morph. I'll look into it more tomorrow, going to sleep.

I thought MetaMorph mounts the sys partition anyway? Because it have to be mounted, otherwise you wouldn't be able to overwrite anything.
