[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izeltokatl:
Ok, since it hasn't been stated:

in a nutshell..

BFS is designed to focus on the main app installed, and process everything around the open app.

CFS is built around multi-tasking power.

If you want high scores (aka focused power), use BFS.

If you want fluidity and ease of use throughout the full phone (multitasking) use CFS.

In general most people will prefer CFS because you notice less issues. If your a single app kind of person use BFS since your focused, but your scrolling, and swiping actions will be a little more laggy.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
Izeltokatl,

That's basically what I was getting at in post #3, if you want to do a single task as fast as possible use BFS, otherwise stick to CFS for overall stability and multitasking.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_l021:
Thanks guys, CFS it is!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
Hi ;)

My question is : which is the best : the Mini or the Mini Pro ?

In fact, I can have the Mini Pro for ~250$, but I can also have the Mini for ~200$, both in black and ~50$ lesser than the Pro (during this week only, in belgium). What I'm afraid of is : with the Mini, the battery is not removable, and with the Pro...well I think i'll never use the AZERTY keyboard because I'm used to the T9 for sms and almost everything else.

So, What do you think ?

Thanks in advance for your advices ;)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] stluciasound:
If you have small finger, go for Mini. But if you have big finger, go for mini pro. It's a little bit bigger than Mini.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] spence91:
I went for the mini pro and i've found that the keyboard is pretty good.

So good in fact that i've turned off the t9 input completely.. it only takes a second to slide out the keyboard and type what you need..

The SE t9 input looks nice but i don't think it is very effective, at least compared to the other t9 keyboards/keypads i've used (this is a personal opinion, some people love it).

So, i would suggest the mini pro unless you really need a slim phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] toonarmy85:
I have both nd I find them both easy to use its all down to preference on which u choose but u will b happy with either one
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
So, don't you think that the not removable battery of the Mini is a problem ?

@stluciasound : No, my fingers are not big ;).

In fact, I've tried them both, I'm impressed of both, and the only two things that makes me doubt are the battery (not removable in the Mini) and the keyboard (in the Mini Pro), well and the price too, lol.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] knudsen81:
I have had both and i use now my pro, both phones is nice i only use pro because i write much and then is the qwerty keyboard best
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
thanks to all ;)

my main issue is the unremovable battery of the Mini, because I think I'll never use the full keyboard of the Pro...

So do you have battery problem with the Mini ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] LKnight:
Finally, I'll wait about a month to buy the Mini Pro.

Even If I don't use the AZERTY keyboard very often, the battery is removable, just in case... (and the 2.1 should be out ^^)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lanege:
i have both and mini is more beatiful , batery isn`t problem for flashing etc. if you don`t use keyboard buy mini !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] arisgoku:
go for the mini lighter better looking battery not an issue and why buy a touch phone if your gonna use a keyboard;
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokhor:
Just wondering if there is a way to replace touchwiz with launcher pro and ensure that touchwiz isn't using memory? When I user launcher pro as the default tw still uses memory and makes my phone run even slower. An example of the speed difference is in neocore I usually get 55.4 fps but with launcher pro running I only get 52 fps
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Omg. 3fps slower. Noooooo.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantIntoCode:
Your not going to notice a difference of 3fps. Your just being paranoid.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
You are making a wrong assumption there.. Firstly, that represents a 6% slowdown only.. Barely anything.

Secondly, how do you know it's because Touchwiz is running. Isn't it possible that Launcherpro uses more resources than Touchwiz?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
Short of installing one of the new roms without touchwiz no.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
touchwiz is not using any memory when you set LauncherPro as default

you can easily verify that when you run any Task killer program that shows hidden active apps like SystemPanel,

download Home Switcher http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765081

and make LauncherPRO default
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bowserb:
I'm fairly new to smartphones, having had the Tilt2 for only about six months after about four years with a Treo 650, but one thing seems to be increasingly true about Windows Mobile phones: If you want the greatest capabilities, you just have to get an iPhone, not a Windows phone.

It just drives me crazy that all the good apps are iPhone. Deposit checks to Chase Bank without deposit slips or going to the bank using your iPhone camera AND THE CHASE DEPOSIT APP FOR iPHONE! Netflix, play movies on iPhone or trailers on Windows. AT&T U-verse download and play movies...on your iPhone. These are three fairly new ones that come to mind, but it is this way for seemingly everything. Even TCM's new movie schedule app is for iPhone, Droid, and Blackberry...Blackberry for crying out loud...but not Windows.

It's another 18 months before we can upgrade for a reasonable price from our two HTC Tilt2 phones to iPhones. If Microsoft wants to increase its market share, it needs to offer subsidies to developers. Windows 7 Mobile is not the answer...we don't buy computers for the sake of the operating systems. It's for the programs that run on the OS. Isn't it the same with smart phones? They all make calls and take bad photos. It's the other stuff that is the difference.

Am I wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] HoleFlow10:
Youre absolutely right, however with over 300,000 downloads of the windows phone 7 SDK already, I think the next version of windows will have plenty of apps to enjoy. Microsoft is also wanting developers to release a free demo of all software, so we can check out any app to make sure we want to buy it. With the integration of XBOX Live, playing games online with other windows 7 users and the focus on gaming, WP7 is going to be awesome. UI definitely looks great and there are rumors that the day the marketplace opens up there will be over 100,000 aps submitted and available. Things really are looking up for microsoft phones. I know I'm getting one!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] cbeck:
MPlayer: will let you stream hulu and bbc and others.

Movies for rental: Check out Amazon Unbox. It's part of amazons video service, where you can rent and buy movies and tv shows. You can have the settings set to automatically download a mobile version of the movie or show you are getting. Though I've never tried it with a rental. I usually just buy tv shows for 99 cents. Downside is it is not streaming, but download to pc and then transfer to your phone. Another option is to use

It's true that some of the very new apps will probably never see a WinMo 6.x port since the platform is switching to WP7, but calling it an "application desert" is a stretch. I have over 100 different programs installed to my phone, with everything from musical instrument simulators to various business tools and games. There's a huge number of free programs as well as a lot of high quality paid-for programs. Check the "apps worth installing on the tp2" for a good sample of the free applications you can get.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] radioman38:
bowserb, as you said, you are new to smartphones, so with a lot of respect i want to share something, my experience with smartphones is a little more than yours, motorola q, blackberry, htc 8125, samsung epix, samsung blackjack, htc touch and know i have a tilt2, and beleive me its much more phone than the iphone

windows mobile and iphone are two differents worlds, windows is more for professionals and business people, focussed in getting the job done, excellent in word, excel, pp, (create and edit), emails capabilities, outlook and exchange sync, etc,etc, then as a second priority is the music, videos, etc,etc

on the other hand iphone is the phone for teenagers, to play, to think they have the ultimatte machine (go to a high school and teel me if dont see al least a hundred of them in 110 kids), you need aplications for everything, let me explain, when you are to compare a phone you have to do it from the box, which one is more capable without going to itunes or marketplace, there the iphone dont have a chance, in others words if you dont jailbreak the iphone its almost useless, my sister and my brother have them, so i know what im talking about

if you want real games and real tv, you have xbox, playstation and a flat screen
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
MS doesn't care about its market share for Windows Mobile 6. Mobile is a tiny part of MS's business, completely insignificant compared to sales of PC operating systems, Office, etc. It remains to be seen how much MS will even care about Windows Phone 7. With WP7, its possible they can make money off the mobile market like Apple and Google have, but that remains to be seen. It would require a whole new level of support and financial commitment than MS has shown in the past. MS has proved they can make money from a new market (XBOX), if they see it as a viable potential opportunity and throw enough resources at it. But if they go into half-hearted, they will fail now that Apple and Google already have a substantial hold on the market.

Yes, commercial developer support for WM6 is drying up with WP7 coming in the next couple months. But there is still a huge user supported base, many will argue. If you want more support from MS and other commercial developers, its not going to happen. They have all moved on.

The underpinnings of WM6 is just too old for developers to make backwards compatible applications. All the WM products up to version 6 are based on the same Windows CE code from 2000. So you can see why there is little desire to make an application for this outdated OS, when there is a modern updated version coming out in a few months.

And don't forget about Android. The iPhone is all the rave for the uninformed. But if you want a OS that has a huge user community, and tons more customization and function than the iPhone, then Android is what you want. Unless MS can really turn things around, I'm almost certainly going Android for my next phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] khoyifish:
Since you want an Iphone so bad.....

Here is my two cents on an iPhone.

Yes, I agree with you it has a lot of nifty apps, in various categories. On of the other side, a "phone" is for making calls. I have 3 cousins, and a few family friends who have Iphones, they hate the "phone" part of it because it drops calls, and lags on the phone screen severly. I know many people who have smartphones who send internet to their iPhone's to do what you were talking about with the Chase banking things and stuff. The new iPod Touch has a camera and mic if I'm not mistaken.

My dad used to be subscribed to a PocketPC magazine, and they ranked iPhone top of the line for apps, but worst for phone usage. Even worse than regular phones (ie non-smartphones).

Whatever you want to do is up to you though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bowserb:
App desert?

Thanks for the comments, guys. I had no idea that WM6.5 was an update of Windows CE. Last time I used that OS was on a Casio PDA...a really long time ago. (Note for the younger crowd: A PDA was smartphone without the phone.) About Windows 7 mobile--will I have to buy a new phone to get it, or will there likely be an upgrade available from HTC?

MS Office. I can't imagine iPhone Contacts being a clumsier, more limited application than on the Tilt2, where contacts show up multiple times and all with m next to the name. Word and Excel are OK, but I almost never use them, even though they are indispensable on my desktop computer.

Dropped calls on iPhone. I suspect that is an AT&T problem, not iPhone. My Tilt2 drops calls all the time, as did the Treo 650 before it and the Sony/Erikson before that. Isn't that the reason people are clamoring for iPhone on Verizon?

iPhone is for teenagers? How do you know I'm not one? And even though I'm not, why should they have all the fun? No I don't really care about music and movies on my phone, but the ever growing list of useful and practical apps for the iPhone would seem to make that platform the choice of all age groups!

Anyway, this reply is mostly rhetorical. In 18 months, it will be time to survey the smartphone landscape.

They better start caring, mobile phones are going to be replacing PC's for many folks in the future.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] vHatch:
They do. They are investing billions into WP7.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] redpoint73:
WP7 will be for new phones only, and an official upgrade is out of the question. The Tilt2/TP2 does not meet the stiff hardware requirements mandated by WP7. From the processing power all the way to the hardware button layout, it doesn't meet the new WP7 standards. Wouldn't be surprised if the smart folks on XDA will get some form of hacked version to work on Rhodium, but propably won't be quite the same experience as on a phone that runs WP7 natively.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DavidinCT:
Even the high end HTC HD2 will not get an official upgrade to WP7, it has been said by Microsoft and HTC....

I was playing around with settings and under phone settings, there's a setting for Internet Calling. It's set to "never" as default. I chose "Only if cellular is not available" and it disconnected my wireless (phone and data) connection. Now it won't connect back no matter what I try. Turned it back to never, reset, hard reset...everything. Nothing seems to work and I can't connect.

I'm going to try to flash to a new radio next. Hopefully that works.

Another question when I first rooted my Evo, I made a nandroid backup, of course it was of 2.1 at the time. So is it possible to just flash my 2.1 stock rom that I made a nandroid of and just do the 2.2 OTA? Wouldn't that unroot my Evo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madfella:
Is it stock rooted? If so, I would just sell it as is...wipe twice, clear Dalvik and be done with it. But anyhow, yes, restoring your unrooted Nandroid backup will restore your phone to the state it was in when backed up.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilvoice:
Okay, I am trying to work with PureHero 2.1. I am trying to edit the rom for my needs. I chose this rom because it is small and clean. My main thing is to remove everything possible except for the Device Self Service, Contacts, Phone, SuperUser (Is SU needed if I am only going to use this to Update PRL?). It has A2SD, Dalvik, Jit, LWP (or at least remnants of these). Is there somewhere anyone can point me to figure out how to pull these things out? I will post up a list of the system/app dir for what I have kept if anyone has suggestions for removing more. I know this may be crazy, but it is just something I have wanted to do. I edited here and there and for the most part, it works, but when I try to add an updated busybox, it wont boot. I have used the kitchen, I have used other roms, I have done it myself, but everytime it wont boot past HTC logo. I know its busybox because it is the only thing I have changed between what I have on the phone and what I want to flash. Any help is appreciated.

Well, I have it almost finalized, but 2-3 big issues remain. I cant update to the newest busybox, cant add bash or nano. I tried using the kitchen to add these, but every time, it wont get past the green logo. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. I have edited some of the boot.img (killed off a2sd). Maybe nobody agrees with what I am doing, but I look at it this way: I only need a rom that has the ability to do prl updates. I kept phone just in case a call comes in while trying to update. There are so many posts in the CM6 thread about updating prl's and everyone is directed to install Fresh, a different large Sense Rom, or something in those regards. PureHero had a smaller footprint, so I used that. Fresh is a very expansive, full-fledged rom, as it should be. If you are loading a rom simply to update the prl, why not make it small and quick? The rom is really fast (no data to back up, just feel), and it is smaller than CM6. Yea, I dont really compare the 2 roms because if I had the same programs on this rom that CM6 has, it would be way bigger, but for people that have done the MTD mod and dont want to have to redo the partitions, this is a great alternative.

I will post this up for people to benefit from what I have done, obviously credits will be given, but I dont want to throw something out to the masses that isnt 100% up to my standards. Please, if anyone has any suggestion to at least update busybox, let me know. Thanks
