[Windows Phone 7 General] Hatefly:
Pretty much what I was thinking. I'm a big fan of HTC, but more for their HW than for the SW. Sense is "ok" at best. Think about this, if it was so great, would mods like those made by Cookie Monster be so popular? Communities like this thrive off of the customization options and the freedom. Microsoft locking it down to me feels like i'm just buying into to the masses.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not all about the whole "special snowflake" thing. I just know what I like; my money goes where I like it, not to the lesser of two evils.

I honestly see WinMo 6.5 sticking around for some time to come because of this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fetidflesh:
bleh for winphone 7

Well the main reason ive stuck with winmobile over the years is the ability to customize and have different UIs, because i dont want to look at the same screen for more than a month. So i guess ill be switching to Android unless Windows phone classic comes out at the same time as 7. i hate the win phone 7 layout.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
Enjoy your laggy Android along with the other hippies :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] gom99:
That's an odd mindset for someone that's technical. People that are technical usually go for things that have a purpose and have a use. So the nice thing about UI customization is getting things the way you like it, that's useful for accessing your information.

But by changing your UI every month it's more like "fashion". Style over substance.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lianglqufo:
I think the wp7 ui itself is pretty awesome so far. I don't know how htc will do with the wp7 ui. Hopefully in a better way. But base on the sense ui on android and WM. I think they are doing a good job so far.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Windcape:
The thing is, if HTC changes the UI, the uniform experience of the entire platform disappears, so it it would be a great disadvantage to do so.

... and I don't think MS intends on allowing it!

They'll just stick to a "HTC" Hub, for whatever bloatware they ship along with the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Bengal34:
OEMs can't change the UI... The idea is to work in the Sense experience into a hub and some live tiles. So you'll have a couple double or single tiles for weather and stuff like that. I'm doubting on the clock.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Trekfan422991:
i think the stock 6.5 winmo is the best os there is.. iv played with all of em over the years and 6.5.x builds are the best!!! wp7 is gonna suck until ppl figure out how to hack it...

just recently ive really been able to play with android on a wide range of devices that friends of mine have bought...

the stock android is very cool and runs a touch laggy i dont like what htc has done with the sense ui on it and i dont like any of the droid version phones...all laggy!!!

i have recently put eclair on my htc pure and i have to say as well as my droid buddies that the version of xdandroid for my pure runs better than theirs!!!!

ya know not including external speaker or sound support... if they get any of these things working i will use it daily....

htc should just make phones ... it is what they are good at. but they need to stop meddling in the sw.... htc pure comes stock with many bugs as well as many other htc devices... but it is all sw bugs not hw.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sprinttouch666:
Sense Hub!!!!!!

also, ppl need to stop *****in about no customization & multitasking in WP7. The release is set for late fall (and its a M$ product) so it will be hacked wide open & customizable before the new year :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yes I must agree WM 6.5.3 is great......
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike2nl:
Personally i hate this new look. Squares everwhere, brrr. But we can be lucky, here on XDA we can change everything. Make it your own is not some words, we do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] efjay:
Why would you even buy a WP7 device if you hate it in the first place?
[Windows Phone 7 General] sakisds:
I don't like the new look either, a lot of squares, maybe the new platform can't support transparency :p. Just kidding, but yeah, the interface is bad for me. I hate that they want to give this iPhone uniform feeling, each iPhone is exactly the same. I will stick to wm6.5.3 until it completely dies and then switch to android.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
I'm wondering why is everybody talking that MS is copying iPhone. Where? Only in style "marketplace only & dedicated sync software on PC". Whole UI is totally different, compared to iPhone it is actually way more complex. Starting with user-extension stuff like IE, images etc through facebook integration to other stuff.

MS made awesome job on wp7, even the locking is good because now it will be usable even for teenagers, who need to look cool with their phone :P. They will have marketplace, connection to XBox Live service, facebook integrated into system and what not.

But for us, the locking isn't good idea. And hacking will be fun too. ROM will have to be signed by OEM or MS. OTA update too. XAP too, but without marketplace, it won't be downloadable to phone anyway*. Hacking to enable sideloading will be hard to do, but I got idea. *Some kind of simple sideloading is possible, from within VS when debugging, you can debug directly on your phone. Now just force it to launch the native binary, which will unlock us BLDR or anything to flash unsigned stuff with USB Mass Storage and file explorer.

I actually even hope, that MS will do some hidden button "enable usb mass storage and file explorer" :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] coscom:
Hello everyone,

I am writing to find out if anyone out there can tell me if I should install the official updates for my Rogers branded Magic and if so should i install them in order? You see I have an unlocked Rogers branded Magic that I used for a while before getting my Tilt 2 however I am looking at using the Magic again now that I've learned about PDAnet for tethering. Anyways, since I hadn't looked into Android since getting the Tilt 2 I thought I'd see if there had been any updates and I found on HTC's downloads a couple of updates for the Rogers Magic and rather like the idea of Sense and multitouch but want to know if these updates will relock my phone forcing me to learn how to unlock it again? (I originally bought it unlocked and have to have it unlocked because I am on AT&T). I've also considered rooting and flashing a newer ROM however without the Wiki being up I'm kind of scared that I don't understand enough about it to do it correctly. Anyways, if any of you could please let me know if the updates would break my ability to use my phone on AT&T could you please let me know about this and any other drawbacks to applying the upgrades? Thanks and I hope that you all have a nice night.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:

Ok this is a new doodle jump game with a little twist . In this version you avoid the enemy drills that are falling from the sky. Also to add challenge and trick you sometimes it will look like there are no platforms to jump on then they majically appear. This adds the the doodle jump challenge. See how high of an score you can get in the iphone classic.

If you want a variation of the game just give me ideas. Any feedback would be helpful but please no rude or common sense remarks. Post a photo of your high score if you like.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZoneBlaze:
i'd like to add on to the comment made earlier about it not being the original.i believe he meant that the first doodle jump clone was made by another developer and he should be the one who gets to name his upgrade doodle jump v2, otherwise there'd be confusion as to who is actual developer.. you should rename it to doodle jump krenesis or something, otherwise you will confuse players..

abridged---

naming your game doodle jump 2 when you haven't made a 1 is going to connfuse users...

suggestions---------

change button grahics/controls, it can become difficult when the guy is at the bttom of the screen and the buttons are in the way.

have randomized map and improve the character's jump height
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarpy:
answers

Ok time to answer some questions

1) The reason i didnt make accelometer support is the tools that i use dont support accelometer. I made sure in the title i put no accelometer so that would be clear.

2) Some one asked for english version? the buttons are in english

3)Yes i should change the name,,,but the guy who you where refering to I seen jump on other developer(who made original game) so thats why I responded the way I did.

[Droid Incredible General] chrisloveskaos:
Decided to help out and with the ok from ihtfp69 i wrote up a FAQ page

for everyone who uses Sky Raider Rom 3.3 Final

feel free to add.

zip is 180,304 kb

Sense 3.3 Requires a FULL WIPE

to avoid reboots make sure you have S-Off, Upgrade the radio to the OTA version

Wipe everything:

Factory Reset

Data Cache

Dalvik Cache

then apply SR 3.3

The initial boot animation is only there for the first boot and reverts to the original thereafter.

The fix for Rom Manager for fix permissions requires you to open Rom Manager once and then it will work after a reboot

Q: How to flash the ROM?

A:good info here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709220

Q: Since 3.3 requires a full wipe, due to all the changes, I was wondering if the MM mappings for the rosie launcher are still compatible with this new release.

A: All of the mappings are new so make sure you clear out the old ones and download the new ones.

Q:how to Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shellLock

A: there are 13 different lock screens including the HTC one

You must be on SP1 or higher to use them

Change your lock screens from adb or terminal shell

Type 'tabunlock' or 'rotaryunlock' to get the menu seen below

Please choose from the menu - S-OFF REQUIRED

1) normal

2) normal+menu unlock

3) normal+trackball unlock

4) music buttons

5) music buttons+menu unlock

6) music buttons+trackball unlock

7) restore HTC lock screen

8) get me out of here!

reboot

Q: how do you get a logcat?

A: Run CMD prompt and in while in the root folder sdk/tools/ run the command "adb logcat" copy paste all you see onto pastebin.com and post the link. or download logcat from market

Hello,

I would like to know what is "HTC Mail Mod for EAS Admin Removal". Is this some kind of feature?

I would like to disable the PIN Lock on my phone that is enforced by my companies security policy. I used to use LockPicker on Android 2.1 but that no longer works. Is there another solution for Android 2.2?

Thanks.

Nevermind I found it. You should add this to the FAQ. You just go to settings -> security -> remove admin policy (forgot the actual name since after I removed it, the option is no longer there)

Thanks for the help

Check to see how many saved backups you have. Each backup can be upwards of 300mb's. If you have more than three that could be the problem. Happened to me once before.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SHicks18:
Okay, first timer here and I have a few questions. I just completed rooting my phone via Simple Root. My build number is now 1.17.651.1.

My questions are as follows:

1) Now that I am rooted, what installation files can I delete from my SD Card?

2) I see that I need to do a recovery flash, do I do this immediately? What one do you recommend?

3) After I do the flash, are there any others files I need to install before I do a custom rom?

4) Which custom rom do you recommend?

5) Am I leaving anything else out that I forgot?

Thank you so much in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangsterholla179:
After you have rooted you can delete nearly anything you want, I wouldn't suggest doing it because I doubt you know what to do. But you do have the freedom to..

I would suggest you flash a recovery as soon as possible. It makes life easier. The two most common recovery are Amon Ra And clockwork.. I use amon Ra just because it had a better wipe feature but clockwork is used in rom manAger (look in to it).

After rooting you can look into upgrading your radio and your wimax and your kernal.

Custom roms are like sneakers, They all have different purpose and size. The most common ones are damagedcontrol and fresh. Do your research and experiment and find your sneaker. You can also just wait til the official stable cm6 comes out. For now I use fresh.

Try oUt some themes and different apps that are for rooted devices only. And there us always something neiw to do with your evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markdjr:
I am in the same boat as OP. I managed to make my way through SimpleRoot. But I am having a heck of a time digging through the forums to figure out what to do next.

Any direction would be VERY appreciated.

I'm new to this too. Read up a lot first. Easy root looks to make it pretty easy, but I learned more doing it the hard way. Used the two part method in dev section, by toast I think, with adb, nand unlock and all. Helps to understand the odd file structure, and what different parts do. You have to try things too, and just hope you don't f up. Using cm6 now and its pretty cool. Have fun man.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
What's wrong with Clockwork's wipe feature?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734564&highlight=clockwork

Also, as for flashing a recovery, if you install ROM Manager from the market, it will give you an option to flash either Clockwork or Amon RA. It will stay there even if you flash new ROMs later, though there's a quirk where a new ROM Manager install will ask you to flash recovery, but then if one is already there it won't really change it, it just needs to see it to believe it. :)

Installing new files won't make a difference if you switch ROMs. It wipes your data when you re-flash, so you'll lose it all anyway (unless you back up your apps with Titanium Backup or MyBackup). All you need is a recovery installed - and I actually recommend Clockwork, but only because I use it myself and I have no problems with it - and you can reboot into it, install a new ROM, and start playing. I've never flashed from ROM Manager, even though it gives the option, but I imagine it does the same thing, but runs it automatically after a recovery reboot.

Read the "favorite ROM" thread with the poll attached, lots of good ROM recommendations in there. I'll say it once more: I'm using Fresh 1.0.1 and netarchy's 3.7.3c kernel (Fresh-compatible version). It's so fast and smooth.

If you like your current setup but want to try a new ROM, use ROM Manager (or Clockwork as a recovery reboot) to do a Clockwork backup. That way you can return to your current state if you want to. It's basically a system image that you can restore.

Here's one helpful page to start with.

And have fun. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gangsterholla179:
Back on fresh 0.5.3, clockwork was not doing a great job with the wipe, causing the boot to loop. I believe it wasn't completely wiping the dalik cache.
