[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
In more recent times, yes. But 6.5 was just a stop-gap til they could get WP7 into the market. It's still very much targeted at business use. I remember all of the marketing for the Sprint Mogul was solely business oriented. They completely ignored media, etc.

So yes, those devices were targeted at consumers but that wasn't Microsoft doing it. Even look at the ad campaign for WM6.5... it was all about taking office apps with you on the go. Yea, that's exactly what consumers care most about. WM has always been enterprise/business 1st, everyone else 2nd. So not solely for enterprise but that was the clear priority.

But getting back to the original point... MS will continue to support WM as it is today for the next few years at least. Will the OEMs make new devices? Probably in foreign markets and some business focused devices in Europe and the US. But pretty much any device that most people will want to use will be WP7. Once WP7 picks up more enterprise capabilities, I would expect it to shift.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Microsoft released 3 new version of their server-OS product line (Server 2003, 2008, 2008 R2).

I think t's fair to call the support after ten years. I don't think Windows Mobile 1.0 is supported either today!
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Most probably we wouldn't see great new WM devices regardless of what MS thought about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
That's my point. There's no reason to believe MS will abandon WM6 anytime soon based off their past history.

Hi,

what more work should they do?

IMHO, the OS is fine as it is. All it needs is adjusting to new hardware, which anyways is the job of the licensee...
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
A lot of Android and Iphone fanboys simply are yet to realize how deep Microsoft is with enterprise customers and the excellent job they have done at continuing support for legacy systems. Android has already left their early adopters eating sawdust and the system is less than 3 years old. I'm unsure on if the original Iphone was given a viable update to the new Iphone OS4 so I can't comment, but I'm pretty sure they are going to have issues in the future as the hardware demands grow for the Iphone. I think it is awesome that Microsoft is creating a brand new platform that will kick ass while still having a viable system in place for the legacy phones that are out there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
If your a large volume customer (5,000+ units, I think, I forget the exact number), you can still get support for Windows 2000. If your willing to pay for it....Pay is the key word. NT4 is still supported if you PAY for it.

Most who were on NT 4 or 2000, moved to XP anyway...if not on 7 (most skipped over vista)
[Windows Phone 7 General] TheATHEiST:
Microsoft abandoning WM for WP?

Are Microsoft completley abandoning Windows Mobile for Windows Phone?

It seems to me that this would be a stupid idea since Windows Mobile is a basically a Mobile OS rather then a Mobile Phone OS.

Wouldn't it be much more logical to have 2 branches, ie a Mobile and Phone?
[Windows Phone 7 General] BRODZ2020:
i would agree. 2 are better than one. it would also be better competition towards apple n android. lets go WM.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lordcanti86:
I doubt it. MS will continue to support WM6.X for a while yet. Now 3rd party support is another story...
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
No they learned this back in their parrallel solution days. When they had Windows 98/ME running in parrallel with Windows NT & 2000. They decided it was better to integrate both and offer a more robust & easier to use OS in Windows XP.

The same goes for this...they just have to learn how to integrate advanced features + Ease of use into a mobile OS.

But in the shortterm they are running Windows Embedded compact for busiess and wp7 is more consumer driven.

[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
Hi, first I want to say sorry about my english, im venezuelan so I don't speak english at all.

I want to start cooking my own rom or if possible to edit already cooked rom but i dont know how to start. I was reading about the cellphone but I haven't found any programs that can help me to do that.

I have followed the tutorial of tobbie's blog[I can't post links] but when I try to use "viewimgfs" command it sends me an error and stop. BTW I'm using one spanish rom made by nickleby be cause I wanted to sim unlock my cell and didn't make a dump of the original rom so, for now, i only can use already cooked roms while he finish with the maintenance of his server.

And the next question is, can I use any visual kitchen? or do i have to use text kitchen and which one can i use?

Thats all for now, thanks for the help that you can bring me :D. GREETS!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is more info about the error that i get:

When im trying to get the dump folder with the viewimgfs command i get this error, and the folder reach only 108MB

wCompressedBlockSize: Error! ProcessFixups: cannot map dump\wmcore.dll\s003

Any idea?
[Windows Mobile] + Que PPC:
Hello man Im too a spanish lang bud, so lets start with the principal things...

as you are new here (1 post guy) WELCOME TO CHEF CENTRAL and XDA developers too.

1.- We need to know wich device you have..

2.- Wich kitchen you try to use?

3.- Wich PC do you have?

4.- Does it has net frameworks 3.5 or above? what about VC redist2005 or newer?

5.- Suggestion to read any tutorial about Kitchen

6.- The custom roms cant be dumped correctly

If you have the real need to learn how to cook lets start reading you can find some good info in the main stickie here at Chef central ;) any question relate dto a kitchen goes into a kitchen thread or general question and not a exist thread start a new one, if there is ask in the right thread we are to help new chefs ;)

keep it up.
[Windows Mobile] Lokmetro:
1: I've got Kyocera e4000 (Benq e72 Twin)

2: I've tried with oskitchen and tried to fill the EVK using your guide but i cant correctly dump my rom

3: About the pc... I think I only need to say that I have a P3 500mhz (is that enough to say you cant?) [I have another pc, is a P4 3ghz double core with 1 gb of ram]

4:About framework I think I have it, but im not sure, the EVK ran good so i think I have it but dont remmember when and I don't have the VC redist2005, is it needed?

5: I was reading some tutorials about kitchens around the net but they all talks about HTC devices so i dont know how to extract the dump folder, there is my problem :/.

6:So I have to wait untill nickleby give me the link to his dumps of the 6.0 original roms or do i have to start with any asiatic rom?

Can you say me any good rom for start? and do I have to flash my phone then dump it? Thats all for now i think.

THANKS A LOT for the advice. :D

...that iPhone is being mocked in this forum and yet in the very same forum there's an iPhone theme being praised and downloaded by many people?
[HD2 General] :
No not really ...

Nobody here will deny the Iphone is kind of sexy ....

But it is like dating a cardboard cutout of a supermodel, looks great, but not much you can actually do with it ....
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
i dont really find it ironic, its not like were wanting to run iOS on our phones or anything, we just like the icons. the supermodel comparison is spot on- the iphone is all looks & no brains. its a gorgeous piece of hardware, id probably buy one if i could run winmo or even android on it.
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
I haven't heard of very many people running that theme really.
[HD2 General] MalekoUK:
The iPhone looks good to some people...thats all.
[HD2 General] lemonspeakers:
the device itself is sexy. turn it on to see the interface-> I then get turned off.
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
I dont understand why you would want to use something like iphone today but each to their own......
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Windows Mobile phones are all about changing the interface whenever you want. The iPhone shell is just another shell, people won't be using it for long.
[HD2 General] mystik610:
Even more ironic is that while everyone is downloading iPhone themes, there are plenty of iPhone users hacking their phones just to use other themes!

I've never seen a WM theme, but I have seen a blackberry theme, and a nexus one theme for the iphone.

I suppose the grass is always greener on the other side.
[HD2 General] dan138zig:
[YOUTUBE]hDIDLJ9Ev7A[/YOUTUBE]
[HD2 General] ebeam:
ROFLMAO! Brilliant analogy!
[HD2 General] skotten:
Downloading and modifying it to look like an iPhone? Well I guess people do it 'caus they can, when they get tired of that FisherPrice look, they change it to something else.

Why should this be ironic? Having a WM is not about hating iPhones, it's about loving everything about phones and not only that shiny mirror-like reflection from it.
[HD2 General] precsmo:
I wouldn't do with theme things like others. The iphone no doubt has a very very powerful os, it personally find it the best of all on earth, and it is so much better. And the theme is just making the HD2 look nicer, but not the performance we can have in Iphone which is the more important aspect how an iphone is. I really really want an iphone, but I choosed HD2 because I've been used to many useful apps with WM, and I've been really pissed off by the iphone built in battery. No doubt HD2 has very poor battery performance, but I can switch batteries all day long!

My point is, i would not put iphone theme to my HD2, because the slick looking theme is not at all the most important aspect of iphone, HD2 will never ever feel like an iphone even with 99% similar theme.
[HD2 General] amdlite2:
Wow!..........Well put!!:cool:
[HD2 General] sausagedog:
i have been selling phones for 9 years now for a uk major network i have seen phones go from 3310 to the super ericsson r390(ok not that good but changed phones forever) all the way to the phone4 and this is my take on things, iphone is one of the phones you love or hate, i have had one since day one but also used my touch pro more due to the fact that i can change things on it, eg themes and the like.

dont get me wrong apple did a super job with the iphone but they restrict everything unless u jailbreak it. then that causes issues with signal batt life, and frezzing. if only apple said its open for the owners to play with then it would get more of a like factor, instead people have them and get board with them, i was sick of the apple way (ether u like it how it is or buy something else) so i did and swopped it for a hd2, there has always been a apple v windows thing going and always will, but look at what it has done for the phone market.... android,web os,linux in genral on a phone would we have seen this sort of thing when the xda exec was out, no we wouldnt it was the iphone that opened peoples eyes to other things.

so in a way apple as made the other companys stand up and beat the iphone in the niche markets where apple cant go.
[HD2 General] fanwater:
iPhone OS does not support multitasking unless you upgrade it to the latest OS4 which is still buggy. iPhone 3gs has no performance. The only reason for buying an iPhone is its abundant games availability.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melophat:
so i deleted friendstream and what not so i can't use the fb that's integrated into sense to update my contacts with fb.. is there any way to do this with the facebook for android app from the market? I remember on my moto droid I could, but it doesn't seem like I have that option int he people app on my DInc.. anyone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melophat:
bump.... anything? anyone?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jitajt:
you can try socialite, I think it is in the market, if not you can find it in the interwebs, that and htc sense are the only ways I know of to syn FB contacts.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncwildcat:
I think that it has to do with the android version of FB available from the market using the INC. I agree that on my motoDroid I had no problems syncing contacts, and I can guarantee there was no sense running on that
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
There's some sort of bug... Facebook shows up in Accounts & sync when you click Add Account, but when you select it there's an error or two in logcat and you're kicked back a screen.

If you look at the app's permissions, it IS allowed to read/write contact data, as well as sync settings. It just doesn't work at the moment.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpearl:
Has anyone managed to figure this out? I'm a bit OCD about my contact pictures :-(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outsid0r:
im OCD too, which is why thats one area id never want removed, i understand its to cleanup the phone and all but maybe its better to keep things plugged in so that everything can work and then move on removing things systematically from there. I admit im no programmer at all so i dont know where to ever begin but mi just giving a basic train of thought that id follow.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] execute_method:
Afaik, you need Friendstream and Facebook for sense to have contacts sync.

I had to install both again, with the obex for each, to get this working on a custom rom.

There are a couple of ways to sync fb contacts to google contacts, but I haven't tried any of them. Use google to find them. After that you can keep the pictures synced with an app called "syncmypix"

http://code.google.com/p/syncmypix/
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larsrya8:
You shouldn't need Friendstream to sync contacts (see Moto Droid). The native Twitter app integrated just fine despite Peep being installed. The Facebook app is poorly written so it doesn't sync on the Droid Incredible. This might be because Friendstream is 'supposed' to do it, so native syncing is disabled? Editing build.prop and a few other files is necessary to create a friendly environment... but it'd be easier if Facebook just fixed their apk.

Syncmypix looks like a nice stop-gap for now though :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
if you just need contact pics from facebook..not updates or profiles linked...use facebook sync. its an app in the market, not affliliated with Facebook, so it works perfectly. used on my stock incredible and now on my 2.2 rom rooted incredible.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melophat:
oddly enough, i actually am a programmer, haha.. but I agreet hat sometimes it's better to keep things installed if they're working.. problem was, friendstream wasn't working.. I removed it and fb because I was getting the bg fc's from the friendstream sync issue and got sick of having to re-setup my fb every time..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kqueenc:
I am using "Differ Freq Screen Off" in "Overclock", and set it to 245700-352000.

It saves battery like a charm.

But here comes the problem:

I am using "fring" calling via skype, but when screen dims out, frequency drops down and audio lags a lot.

Wonder if I can set a kind of "exception" for Fring in "Overclock", so it won't drop down freq when Fring's running (maybe even overclock a little bit, feels somehow htc hero is not powerful enough for VOIP apps).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Squirrelmayo:
I use the app "SetCPU" and it has an on demand scaling. Try using that. It works just like CPU throttling with your pc. Shouldn't have any problems then. I think there is another app that allows you to use Skype for video chat as well called Nimbuzz. I tried it a while ago when it first came out and Skype wasn't working on it. Might want to check it out and see if it's working now since Fring is horrible imo.
