beast mode baby. First I was struggling with the "screw holes" or the golden part. but I bypassed it by not throwing in any screws at all! meaning my phone is with out screws I dont see how it effects the functionality. anyways. I bought a merlot housing off of ebay. and it did not come with screw holes. but luckily the front faceplate was so snug in tight after snapping it on, I could not take it off the second time to fix my vibration motor :(. only glitch is that I think I might have covered up the little multi colored LED by accident trying to pop in the metal part on the top. :eek: anyway my phone does not look beaten up anymore so Im good.

other wise everything fits. except that my vibrator motor is way too damn loud :( because of the "head" high drop. but oh well. btw if you guys are planning on replacing a housing and cant get the screws to fit I suggest using small amounts of glue or adhesive along the border of the faceplate and stick it on the screen, make sure you DO NOT get any of it on the screen. you will be good.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Accessories] JamesHolden:

Just wondering,.... my friend got this phone, can we use those ROMs as i use on regular Touch, WM6.5, Androids,... ?

And what in general do you thing about this device?

Tnx in advance!
[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
The forum that you want to go to for this device is the one for the Nike. There are a few chefs cooking roms for it (deepjharenka being one of them). Don't install roms for the Vogue on the Nike or you will brick the device.

As far as what I think of it, I personally never had it but I do like it. It would be far better if someone would be able to unlock the wifi that it has built in it, but up to date, I don't know if that has happened. Good processor, decent amount of ram and on board storage.

Like I said, head over to the Nike forums and you will get more info in there.
[Touch CDMA General] akyboy:
thank you!

Your are more than welcome :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
Remember when Dell was announced as an official partner for WP7? Well, details on Dell's device have leaked out. The device name is the Dell 'Lightning', sounds bold doesn't it? There are only renders as of now, but damn they look slick. The device is a portrait slider with a full QWERTY keyboard, similar to the Palm Pre, but with a huge and rich OLED display. I love the look.

The Specs:

For more details, just follow this link

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/21/dell-lightning-the-ultimate-windows-phone-7-device-leaks-out/
[Windows Phone 7 General] Fa7my:
WWWOOOOWWWW.. Dell really got it this.. the is as sexy as hell!!!!

but still there are 2 weird things about it that I've noticed:

1. the interface is that of a Zune HD... ???

2. the OS is Windows Mobile 7.. Windows "Mobile"??

Other than that.. this is something that would make me want a Windows Phone :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kailkti:
read the post from engadget and the specs state an 8gb micro sd card in the phone. From the windows 7 phone requirments it states that it needs atleast 8gb storage and no micro sd slot. So from what the lightning is saying, you can have a micro sd slot but the card just can't be user replaceable. Just hoping i'm right so that porting the windows phone 7 software unto older phones isn't harder than it is. (yay for possibility of htc hd2 with windows phone 7!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spike15:
Portrait slider sucks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] trinest:
I want to see wat HTC will have. Though this dell one looks nice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
Yea, for the most part your right. But this has a big screen which allows more space for a bigger; more comfortable keyboard. But it makes me question whether the weight distribution. If Dell can make a beautiful device then I can't wait to see what HTC will do.
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
portrait sliders don't suck when it's this wide. But I think these are probably the best looking smartphones I've seen to date. It just looks so nice and sleak.

I might be going back to dell if wp7 isn't too much of a nightmare. Oddly enough the dell axim was my 1st wm device back in like 1999-2000.
[Windows Phone 7 General] slash_5150:
luv the formfactor man. very nice. :D

only problem now is its wp7. got multitasking?? compatible with wm6 apps?? i dont know...
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
I can understand multitasking, but why does it need support for WM6 and other legacy apps? Are there any killer apps being left behind? The only thing I can think of is emulators for older consoles, but that support is sure to come. Also most dev's will just remake their legacy apps which is a good thing.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The PRO:
The spec sheet says "Micro SD slot", I thought thats gonna be available on the new WP devices, similar to that of the iPhone
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kailkti:
Actually the requirements for windows phone 7 is only internal memory and no expansion slot. So the spec sheet for Lightning is quite confusing. Engadget thinks that the micro sd in the slot is probably non removable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Microsoft has specifically stated that microSD IS compatible however it may not be removable. Using SD/MicroSD is as non-removable storage is not new as it allows the manufacturer to be more agile and utilize economies of scale. This is not all that uncommon (off the top of my head the Chumby and Nook both do this).

Nothing to see here, move along folks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
When you guys say the MicroSD slot there but not removable do you mean that it's soldered on the board? Or can you just disassemble your device, voiding your warranty in the process, and replace it with something bigger.

Sooner or later MS is gonna have to support MicroSD or get left in the dust, especially when the SDXC cards start releasing in 2011-12, that have a capacity of 64GB+. Unless there will be phones that will launch this Q4 with 16GB and up. Even that capacity is pretty steep when you factor in people like me who have a big music collections (5000 songs @ 320KBPS).

Maybe MS is implying that the hardware vendors of Windows phone 7 will release multiple sku's of each device. Similar to how the Iphone 3GS is available in 16GB and 32GB. Maybe the Dell Lightning and other WP7 devices will be available in 8GB, 16GB, 32GB, etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
Re: Zune UI, Adobe Flash support, Windows "Mobile" 7, MicroSD card and a few other potentially confusing tidbits... it's obvious Dell created this document before the big public reveal of the OS. They used what info they had at the time

of course there'll still be a MicroSD card, you just can't remove it
[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
The OS doesn't work when you take the card out because it rolls all the internal and external storage into one
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
The Spec sheet said that it will have 1GB of flash ROM, maybe MS requires that the OS resides in that 1GB of memory while everything else; Music, apps, video, ect, is on the non-user replaceable MicroSD.

But you still didn't answer my question, do you think the card is soldered to the board? ----Doesn't make sense to have them soldered to the board, other wise it would be called Flash not MicroSD since it's not a card, am I right?

If the OS is on the 1GB flash Rom and the MicroSD isn't soldered to the board then what's stopping the common tech guy from take apart his phone and installing something bigger like a 16GB card or 32GB when it launches later this year?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
Last I heard, if you were to take the SD card out of a WP7 device it will do a hard reset to your device. Maybe they are making a slot but tell you that you can't remove it unless you want to reset your phone, so the only good reason to do that is if you want to put a bigger one in. The specs says specifically a Micro SD Slot not just 8GB Mirco SD storage.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
No, they won't be soldered but they will be in a socket. Here's a picture of how it's done in the chumby...

We don't yet know how easy it will be to replace/upgrade. I'm guessing not too hard. There will most likely be files shipped on the card. You'd have to copy those files to the new card or else the phone will boot into emergency call only mode. There may be other things preventing you from doing this but I'm guessing this will be one of the first 'hacks' as it should be somewhat easy.

The file systems will be similar to windows mobile today with the OS being stored on internal storage (that 1gb flash rom) and everything else going on the "external" storage (whether it be soldered onto the PCB or on a microsd card in a socket on the PCB).

There's some filesystem info here.

The leak also says Windows Mobile 7 but that doesn't mean Microsoft is renaming the OS. I'd bet that this was made before everything was fully known. They probably had some preliminary info from Microsoft but not all the details.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Darknight247:
from what i can see there is no flash on the camera... according to the keynote speach for the developers conference last month by Joe Belfiore. the phones would have at least a 5mp camera with a flash... now i know this isnt that big an issue but it would be nice for it to have the flash too as Ive never had a windows phone in the last 5 years with a decent camera with flash.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Spike15:
It's not really about the "flash", per se, I just find it incredibly handy to have a cellphone with a built-in flashlight.

To be honest, that's one of the biggest things I like about my HD2 over my TP2.

is it possible to port over the clock app from desire ROMs?

or does that also need sense ui?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Talderon:
You talking about the Flip Clock and Weather?

If so, there are plenty of alternative apps on the market for free that you can use that allow you to have the features and skin it as well.

Beautiful Widgets

Flip Clock

and more... (those are just the 2 I have)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] zidane:
no, im talking about the app which replaces the clock app, includes alarms, world clock and all. not the widget
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] blaboy51:
I dont think it can be done requires rosie framework.

I have a dialer with a homer picture as the default, and rather than pushing my prior Phone.apk... i was wondering what program i can use to open the .apk file and replace that png file to something i prefer???? Also, once i update the .apk is there any special required repackaging required for it to work correctly?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Use 7zip. After you install it just right click on .apk and choose open with 7zip. Double click on the /res/drawable-mdpi folder of the /.apk. Drag the new .png to that folder. It will overwrite the old .png. Close out the .apk and adb push back to phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Konikub:
That's a brilliant idea...lol. I should look into that for my phone :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] jonesdana:
Awesome. That worked nicely.

Thanks so much for your help!

I guess when i wanted to get rid of Homer... I really wasn't sure what would be better. The default dialer android wasn't my favorite, so i just threw this one together... Maybe after I think of something better I will change it again, but for now: I am happy with this versus Homer!!!!

I've seen a lot of dialers for google voice, but is anyone working on a visual voicemail app for it? I tried one, but it just crashed my phone.

Something simple would be nice in the format:

Sorry can't post pics yet because of site restrictions.

Should open quickly with stored login. Should only download the message when the play button is pressed to a specified folder in options and then automatically play in background. Also should be an option to limit to display the last n messages, because some of our google voice accounts are quite full. Messages should be displayed from most recent whether they have already been read or not.

Anything like that? Ah, that would be nice. I'm sure many of us would chip in towards its development. :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I suppose that if people would be willing to chip in some contributions ($$) to me, I could take on this task for the people....

I hate being that guy who wants the money, but if you look at what I have done, I have done quite a bit for free, and am still doing quite a bit....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] smiznith:
that would be cool, but how the heck do i get on google voice? anyone willing to shoot me an invite? smiznith@gmail.com......
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Thresher:
How much to get this started? I often donate but it's normally a pittance compared to the work. However, a GOOD gvoice app would be great. Any that I have seen are a shame...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
The amount of $$ i get 'committed' to this project will determine its quality. I am not asking for some obnoxiously large amount, just a little something. Of course it would take me a little bit of time to read up on, and understand any API's or code i need to interface with GVoice, so if you want me to dev it, don't be super-pushy on a quick quick release date. Plus, if I dev this app, you get my promise to provide updates, fixes, etc. as they are needed (and since this will be for $$, it will take priority over my other Apps).

With that being said, I am off to research GVoice API's and the likes...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Okay,

So after some researching, I CAN make this application happen. I would like if there could be some sort of pledge of donations I could get upon completing this (as I will continue to update it to make it better)...seeing as I am engaged in a couple of projects now, but if nobody really wants to donate, I can add this to my ToDo and do it when i finish up everything else i am engaged with...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] htc-ppc:
Well, I'm definitely in for the donation! Just got my tax return.:)

I see there is a bit of interest in an app of this sort.

Thank you, Cyclonezephyrxz7 for volunteering your time. I'm going to check out some of your other projects.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I have done my research (like i mentioned prior), and I have done some coding...and I have a sort-of-beta working...but I do not plan on beta testing or releasing yet as it is GUI-less and limited in functionality...In due time I will release a beta/proof-of-concept version that will provide some functionality...If people are satisfied with it then (and want the extra features)..if I get donations I can release a fuller version sooner....but as I said, it is currently on the end-ish of my to-do list (which is a decent size)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] htc-ppc:
Made a small donation to help in developing this. :)

Also encourage others to do the same. The main part is the voicemails and checking through the phone browser is a bit inconvenient. Hopefully this project can get some steam and move up the to-do-list.

[Android] Xdasc:
Hi,

I'm searching for detailed hardware specification of NexusOne and Desire, hardware docs(for peripherals/chips inside those devices). Also, I'd like to know to which extent these two devices have open source drivers implemented or if not, whether someone is working on drivers which are missing. If someone knows more and can provide more info, that'd be greatly appreciated. :)
[Android] jcarrz1:
pretty much, the hardware in these devices is already supported by Android Source Code, especially processor and wifi.

Graphics, bluetooth, and more are inherently a problem.

I know this from seeing results of building android (w/o sense) from source for the HTC Hero, which these devices are similar to, in terms of hardware and software cooperation (of course these have spec bumps).

ONCE HTC posts the kernel source, deving/compiling stuff for these devices should be 300% easier :)

How detailed of specs do you want?
[Android] Xdasc:
QSD8250 should have an integrated graphics core, I was wondering whether open source 2D/3D drivers would be available.

I have read that sources for HTC Desire should be available within 2 months.

Did HTC or Google still not release the kernel sources for Nexus One?

I'm looking for something like specs for Mio A701 @ handhelds.org wiki
