[General Questions and Answers] MooGoo:
Except that both companies seem to be going down the same path with their phone OS's, and there is already a Windows Phone 7 subsection here.

But as long as this place covers only HTC phones, or until HTC starts making iPhones (a great day that would be), should probably stick with Android and WinMo.
[General Questions and Answers] ingerasu:
to be honest, i hope that's not going to happen:)

hard to imagine xda devs turns into a phone games community
[General Questions and Answers] sheennick123456:
and if that ever happens (i know it wont :P ) just try to imagine how many dumb i phone users will be spamming the board with all their idiotic questions
[General Questions and Answers] MooGoo:
I hope, for both your sakes, that Windows Phone 7 crashes and burns.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
This is no argument at all. Why are they going 'down' the same path? They're totally different companies, there is absolutely no similarity.
[General Questions and Answers] the-equinoxe:
--> http://iphone-developers.com/

;)
[General Questions and Answers] MooGoo:
Kind of like how Intel and AMD are totally different companies?

Of course there is some similarity in that they both produce proprietary operating systems for computers and phones.

Some people here seem to be fretting about the possibility of a torrent of iPhone users flooding the forums with noobish questions if xda-devs started to work on iPhone OS; my point was that this is very likely to happen with Windows Phone 7 when it is released, and there seems to be no debate here on whether to support that OS or not.

I said "same path" because both OS's are locked down consumer oriented platforms, as opposed to the relatively open and business oriented nature of WinMo. Of course only time will tell how similar these OS's turn out to be...

But I do agree with you that the iPhone should not be dealt with here, since the iPhone is not made by HTC, and since iPhone hacking is already covered more than sufficiently elsewhere.
[General Questions and Answers] ElCondor:
OK you're right, I take my words back that there's no similarity.

But windows is mostly software based (apart from xbox and Zune), while Apple makes various hardware components. It really is a totally different company.

This is my first time playing with Linux/Android and I was trying to sync repo on my Ubuntu machine. I left my laptop sitting for a while because it was taking a long time to download everything.

When I got back I had this message:

My laptop was plugged in to the wall so I don't think it went to sleep, but who knows. Do I have to sync all over again? What is the impact of the error above?

It ran CP/M and TMP III and ( this was huge, why I bought it ) it ran MS-DOS.

Complete with a blazingly fast " dot matrix " printer, with a three ( yes three ) color ribbon.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Don-Carlo:
Hey,

first of all, this is not the correct forum, I know that, but it would probably be the closest to what I'm looking for.

I just came across this www.firstelse.com

It seems to be a relatively unknown company from Israel, which invented a new phone, unlike any other on the market right now. The device, to be honest, is quite big. Also the fact, that it leaves too much space for hardkey buttons and hearing outputs around the screen is not really chamring,... BUT it features an - in my opinion - really smart and useful operating system, with some genius functions.

There is an almost fully working web-based module on their website, where you can test the handling and functions. It seems very intuitive and some of the functions it has, I am REALLY missing in the smartphone world out there.

One of the most genious functions (imo), which I am missing on any device out there, is this one: http://www.firstelse.com/#/Connect/SilentCommunication

Anyways,... check out the website and maybe this youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6O1L1Q4KBM which says a little about the technical stuff.

My question however is,... do you see any chance of having an HTC device running this operating system?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsalta:
I know ELSE because i read befor alot for them i mean for that company and the ELSE device itself.

The ELSE os is based on LINUX and the device is not Released yet...

Will be Release on the END of 2010 and will 1st by provided by some USA Mobile Operators.

I don`t know the price of that device.. also the Company didn`t say anything about the price, because all this will be up to the OPERATOR so they will have a contract for example with AT&T and the Operator will be able to offer this devices.. to the costumers.

My question is how you can ASK a question like this when this Device is still not released and Nobody know anything for this OS we just know its a Linux Based thats all... so you cannot ask questions like this, because nobody know anything about the OS

I think also that the OS in Else is super and look like ALIEN Software .. so its really something new in the market and also the OS seems to be very fast...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Don-Carlo:
Hey,

thanks for the info!

Yeah, I know it is not released yet and that the question might be unreasonable. I was just wondering, since Developers here already started putting their hands on Windows Phone 7 (which is not released yet neither), if you think, if there could be a chance, to somehow easily "copy" or rewrite this kind of Linux Software for HTC devices. It's just because I dont really have a clue about the complexity between hardware and operating systems. Since you can run Windows on an Apple PC, I just thought if someone could already make a guess about compatibility between the ELSE and HTC devices.

Anyways, thanks again! I'm really excited about the ELSE and will definitely follow any updates on this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tsalta:
If we can run ELSE OS on our HTC devices then why not to have cooked Iphone OS ? LOL
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Don-Carlo:
well guess what tsalta,... maybe because the iPhone OS is nothing you would want to have, since it is more of a debasement than an improvement?! LOL
[HD2 General] alexsemi:
Is there any specific reason why people don't include latest Opera 10 Mobile in their ROMs?

Thank you.
[HD2 General] Susasama:
I'm about to switch back to 9.7. I think it's faster and smoother than O 10. A lot of people (myself included) don't like the "pinch to zoom" in O 10. Or lack thereof i should say. It's not "true" pinch to zoom. But primarily, I think 9.7 is smoother and faster and uses lest memory...(i think)
[HD2 General] DeekoVB5:
Frankly, because 9.7 is superior in most ways.
[HD2 General] secano:
I prefer 9.7 over 10, It's faster.
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
It's strange, because I have never found that 9.7 was faster than 10 in anything.

The only thing that 10 does not have is "pinch to zoom," which I don't use often enough to miss, because it requires two fingers instead of one.

Can some of you 9.7 die hard fans please explain why (other than pinch to zoom) you feel that 10 has less desirable features? I just don't see it that way after comparing the two, I always find myself gravitating back to 10 as my default browser. I find that it renders faster, scrolls faster, etc. and that is all I need.
[HD2 General] hitman4485:
O 10

I can honestly say that Opera 10 was much slower than 9.7. That's what turned me off from it. Also I never had any use for Flash either so thats another reason for myself
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
The final version?

Did you use Opera Turbo in v.10?

I'm just really trying to wrap my mind around this, because no matter what sites I try, I cannot get 9.7 to outperform 10. It's always the opposite.
[HD2 General] jubeh:
I preffer opera 9.7 because, no matter what you try, 10 won't draw the pages pixel-correct (you can notice it in slanted edges in pictures). In 9.7, all you have to do is go to opera:config, and under Adaptive Zoom, change Default Zoom to 100 and Virtual Screen Width to 1024 (this last one is because most pages online are created around a 1024 screen width, which opera uses for some reason to decide page layout, and this value is used when viewing the full page at default (non zoomed-in) zoom). When you double-tap, the default screen zoom is 100%, and images are drawn pixel perfect.

Opera mini 5 also draws pages correctly, and, were it not that it's not really a browser, is a better browser than 9.7 or 10 in terms of page layout. 10 just doesn't work... Guess I'll just wait for Fennec or (oh, please, please) Chrome for WinMo.
[HD2 General] JWhipple:
You do realize that development on Fennec for WinMo has halted, right? They are only developing for Android now.
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
i don't get what's the big deal about people not including it in their roms...

you can get it via opera's website anytime anyways...
[HD2 General] speoples20:
For me 9.7 just feels more polished and renders pages better than 10. 10 always felt a little more sloppy than 9.7 but thats just me.
[HD2 General] reocej:
Cause most of us prefer 9.7 to 10! If you want 10 it is available in many flavors in cab form. Why is that so hard to understand.:rolleyes:
[HD2 General] donalgodon:
I suppose it matters more for Euro users, because I cannot imagine being able to fill up the 1GB ROM on my TMOUS HD2. I have installed every app I use to the internal memory and I still have over 600MB left in the internal storage. With the Euro version, I got as low as 90MB, which is still not bad.

I never use 9.7, but I guess I don't mind having it cooked into the ROM. I still install 10 and make it my default browser, just because I like the UI and it feels more comfortable to me.
[HD2 General] lstrike:
You know after a couple days flip flopping between the 2, 10 with turbo is very fast. I am consistantly getting pages loading quicker in 10. Cnn for instance loaded up much quicker for me images and all on 10.

Also the swipe scrolling is as smooth as webkit with very little checker boarding. My only gripe is how it looks at full page on certain swipes before zoom. Specifically, the way the page wraps a little tight on full page view.

To each their own I guess.
[HD2 General] gdog1977:
Opera 10 is crap, that's why it's not included, and I'm a huge opera fan (Windows). 9.7 is pretty good, not up to Android's webkit browser's level though.
[HD2 General] goldt:
Not using Opera 10 because of the zoom, not sure about the speed, but i do like the tabs with pictures on the Opera 10
[HD2 General] a5med:
What I don't like about Opera, is that it doesn't make the sites mobile. I mean with Iphone's safari and android browser, when you go to, say Gmail, it has a fancy mobile design. With opera - not.

How can this be turned on?
[HD2 General] secano:
Settings > Display
[HD2 General] a5med:
Nope didn't help, still that ugly google and facebook and everything.
[HD2 General] secano:
did it change at all? or it did change but it looks ugly?
[HD2 General] a5med:
There's a checkmark near "mobile" in display tab, but nothing really changed. (Opera 9.7)
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Where can I do all that?
[HD2 General] gdog1977:
Like jubeh said you can find it by typing in opera:config in the address bar. Or you can change it via the registry. HKey Local Macine- Opera- Prefs- Adaptive Zoom. Adjust the virtual screen width to 1024. I prefer 800 but to each their own. Another tweak is- HKey Local Machine- Opera- Info, change the browserbufferheight and width to 4096 made a big difference for graphic intensive sites like engadget.com for myself. There is another tweak that I don't know off the top of my head that is important as well, you will have to search the Leo sub forum for opera tweaks. Also, you will need PHM Registry Editor to edit the registry which is free.
[HD2 General] me:
You will have to wait a long time, as they dropped WinMo development.

They do have an alpha of WinMo build, one can download and install.

Anyone here tried it? It is absolutely terrible!
[HD2 General] me:
Who said it was a "big deal"?

However, it is an obvious question that might come to mind, why do these ROMs contain an older version of an app, when a newer one is available?

Some folks replied, that they like the older one better. Others prefer the newer.

In any case, a very logical question to ask.

Hi I bought T-Mobile myTouch 3G. It is a rooted phone already with custom ROM:

Firmware version: 1.6

Baseband version: 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I

Kernel Version: 2.6.29.6-SuperS

Mod version: Nexus Super В-blk 1.10.2

Build number: Super В beta

The microphone is very quiet. So the person on the other side of the line can hardly hear me.

Do you think that is a hardware problem or it is probably a software issue and could be fixed if other ROM is installed?

Thank you for your answer. I really need your advice!

Elena
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
yes this is problem with the rom. You can flash a few audio files on your phone and this can solve ur problem. Do you know how to do that?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freesunny:
Not, really! I will be very thankful to you if you could explain.

I have made some research and made the following instruction for myself. It works well, but it is just the same ROM that I have.

I might need to save other files on my SD card and try them. However I am a little bit scared to download and choose wrong files and brick the phone.

One guy recommended me to try this ROM

( HTC Dream: G1 > G1 Android Development

[ROM] [No-Wipe] HTCClay's FastTest 3.1 RHack Released!)

but he laughed at me and said that I would not manage to do it and I would only brick the phone....

That's why I am scared to try anything else...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Do you know how to enter recovery mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freesunny:
Yes I know!

I actually reflashed the phone with the same ROM following the instruction. It was successful, but I ended up with the same ROM.

Those files were on the SD card with the phone when I bought it and I figured out that they would work. However this ROM seems to be defective and my microphone is very very quiet. That's why I thought that I might just need to understand how to flash other ROM.

Elena
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Ok the issue here is that most roms for the 32B board (mt3g) are those made for g1, so they have g1 audio drivers. And therefore the bad mic volume. You need to install mt3g drivers. So since u seem technically sound to me, can you follow this guide and install adb on your pc?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Once this is done, you need just 3 commands to get the mic to work.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] freesunny:
ayush20m, thank you!

I have just installed adb on my computer.

I do not quite understand why I need it for.

Please tell me what I need to do next...

I do appreciate your help!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Connect your phone to your computer and see the command list from the link i gave you to see if you have your phone connected properly.

You need this to put the correct audio drivers in your phone.

If you have gtalk can you pm your gmail id, it'll be faster that way

Ant THANKS! I feel more confident with your help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
Just incase it helps..

About the guy "laughing" at you, he's an idiot. You're not gonna brick your phone flashing a rom. Just don't touch your radio and SPL/hboot since you're new to this. Although I would suggest flashing an ENG SPL if the previous owner hasn't already. I don't know what you have since you didn't post fastboot info. I suggest this because you could possibly get into a soft brick if you screw up something bad. Next time, post info this way. Turn off phone, boot up holding back+power. The other info you provided is nice but sometimes we'll need more! =)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ayush20m:
Hahahaha, Kawata, I remember how you told me the exact same thing for the exact same problem. I guided her on a adb push of the audio filters and it helped. :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] patriot1973:

I've tried looking into this myself, but with full time job, full time college, and new wife, don't much time. I read somewhere that the openGL 'fix' actually breaks it, defaulting to base driver or something, which makes sense since all the 3d either breaks or doesn't run (games, nav, etc.) So would it be possible to add a line to the wallpapers then that openGL=0 or something?
