Is there or will there be a Froyo version of the RyanZa OCLF?. I used the one for 2.1 and it was great, now waiting patiently for a 2.2 version, i am hesitant to use Cog at this time. Thanks.

The OCLF that Ryan has in the Android Market already works on 2.2

Download it and use it.

Make sure you're already rooted. Then run the app. Install ext2 tools. Then run the Install Lagfix 2.1+. I set my file size to 1024 which equals 1 GB. Then I hit ok and let it do it's stuff. It worked first time.

The helpfulness of xda forum members never ceases to amaze me. I came because my Captivate lured me here with its Siren's Song. I stayed because this place makes me feel ignorant in a very good way -- like thirsty for knowledge. And I will continue to humbly and quietly read for a while more until I feel I can be more inquisitively intelligent. In the meantime, I've made my contribution more constructively.

Not to be hyperbolic, but never have so many owed so much to . . . yada yada yada.

I leave you with one of my father's favorite jokes (retired electrical engineer and former TI-99 4A owner) -- since I'm going back to self edification mode. So many threads to read . . . Joke:

. . . There's only 10 kinds of people in this world -- those who understand Binary and those who don't.

I'm a big fan of RyanZA -- *12 year old girly shriek* -- hence the virgin-first-post-noob-verbosity.

And this thread certainly deserves bumpage. But I've come to feel a visceral disdain any pressuring of devs who put out gifts for us to use to make our phoines so much better. So, whenever, Ryan. Going back into incognegro mode anyway.

you got into the Download Mode screen, that screen is for loading a new ROM

try the volume up + home + power that will get you to the wipe data + wipe cache screen (Recovery Mode)

[Windows Phone 7 General] yagermaster:
Does anyone think that the iPhone os and Android have helped kill the "smartfone"?

It seems these os's are intended for mainstream use, kind of like the symbian os a few years back where kid's, mom's and dad's used a nokia or even a motorola. While the business or tech heads used windows mobile for PC-like functionality.

Microsoft have dumbed down their w7 phone software to the point my grandmother, or 10 yr old brother could and would be sold one of these (as long as he had cash lol), in hope to compete against these new mainstream os's that are extreamly competitive already and not the business or tech-head market the os seemed to be initially intended for.

It seems the software design is focused on people updating their facebook status or tweeting that they are taking a dump, and not really using them for work purposes at all.

With windows phone 7 am i going to be able to work with basic word, excel and pdf docs? Will I be able to use remote desktop or setup multiple outlook email accounts? Will alot of the programs i use on pc be available in windows 7 phone format? I cant seem to find much info, all the reviews ive seen seem to concentrate on its "social networking features", or show its "image gallery" and uninspired UI.

A smartfone is suppose to be a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities. The iPhone and Android have pretty much become mainstream os's, so i personally wouldnt call them advanced devices, they are simply the 2009-10 standard device, a touchscreen multimedia phone with 3g connections. And windows 7 phone looks like its the same. I think Apple and Google have taken 2 steps forward and microsoft have taken 1 back. Leaving us with no real advanced mobile phone or os as they are all now on par, with android looking the most positive of these mainstream os's.

So if its not aimed at the business or hi-tech market, what are we going to buy? I wonder if we will all be trying to hack the windows mobile 6.5 os onto these new devices in the near future to get some multitasking business features and PC-like functionality back? Im sure it would run great on the new hardware hehe.
[Windows Phone 7 General] OndraSter:
You are quite right IMHO, but there is simple reason for that.

MS was targetting PocketPC platform, giving "full PC in your pocket"-like experience. This was for techs, administrators, but not for teenagers eagerly wanting to touch their phones without stylus, browsing internet, having thousands of animations AND HAVING IT SIMPLE. With Apple and later Google coming out with platform that actually allows you to simply and naturally touch the screen with your finger without using stylus, do simple things simple way (and disabling the hard things, because why would teenager need eg PuTTY right, for security and having out of box experience "it works" without installing ton of software, going through registry etc), MS's sales are slowly moving towards 0. And now, MS is targetting those teenagers, giving them all Facebook integrated in contacts, with simple UI and powerful base for making rich applications and games.

That part is good, that MS restarted whole Phone experience, giving minimal requirements so no more sluggish phones (just look on even HD2, needing patching driver for GPU and so on), creating whole UI rendered on DirectX, having new kernel, thus having it all like.. superfast.

On the other hand, they locked it down as hell. No teenager (except me :D) wants to go through registry, they just want to have ton of apps on marketplace, and ton of games they can play. No manual googling for stuff, direct access from phone with cool UI. That's it.

I wanted to say something more, but I forgot what I wanted lol.

// ohh remembered:

Let's skip the definition "Smartphone is PocketPC without touchscreen", and say how do I feel difference between Smartphone and PocketPC.

I see smartphone as being something stupid with some internal APIs, integration option. (iOS, Android)

And I see PocketPC as being full PC in my pocket. Because of screen size, CPU power, RAM etc, it ofc has to be redesigned a lot. But the main idea "do what you want anyhow you want" must be there. It isn't in case of Smartphone (WinMo, partially Android).
[Windows Phone 7 General] krjcook:
No smartphones are getting more advanced. Yes the interfaces are about eye candy now, but I'd take that over the old WM6 anyday.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Intervenient:
This. The OSs might have been dumbed down, but at the core, it's all what applications you use to run on them. I am way more productive with my iPhone than I ever have been an other smartphone before then, and I will be with WP7 more so with it's amazing Office integrations
[Windows Phone 7 General] yagermaster:
can you elaborate on the office integrations? Are there new office features that we havent seen on mw6.5?

If you are more productive on your iPhone than on wm6.5 are you using it for business/pc-like features or for social multimedia use?

Im just disapointed that they seem to have locked down the device, dumbed the UI to a point it actually looks like a really bad skinning attempt to conserve ram lol. The first pics i saw of the w7phone i thought must have been someones photoshop attempt at a joke. I lol'd then got a look of concern on my face as I realised they were real pics.

They are trying to enter into a mainstream teenage market already accomodated by the iPhone and now android. Leaving the traditional "pc in your pocket-business user" market with a void.

I personally dont tweet, dont use facebook, and would never use a xbox live service while im taking notes on my device in a meeting. I regularly work on my home/work pc through remote desktop. Use the calendar to set appointments, browse multiple websites at once and generally run 2-3 apps at the same time. I regularly use word and excel, and always sync my business/personal emails from by pc each morning.

I suppose the question is will wm7 be right for me? I would have preferred them to concentrate on new touch friendly business applications, handwriting recognition and smarter gui, not concentrate on social networks and games which make it seem to much like a teenagers phone. If these features i need are there that will be great and ill consider it. If not I think ill have to look into being converted into an androidian and lay my pc in my pocket to rest in a safe place as one of the last of its kind :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Many of us wonder how it will be.

From the sales point of view, you have to simplify and make more eye candy

to increase your sales 10 or 100 times.

Just count how many Communicators Nokia sold, or HTC TyTn II's

and compare to iPhone.

But it's possible that following the smartphone's expansion

users beeing more conscious will want more functionality

which will be brought back........

I'm very happy with better cameras and screens though.

And hardware became so strong too.

So not all is lost.

THE ONLY QUESTION is if Microsoft is willing to bring all those missing things

or not........................

[Windows Phone 7 General] Godo_PPL:
I dont see why you are complaining about the path that manufacturers are going today.

It is easy to know WHY they make advanced devices simpler to use, (to get a broader consumer base).

And I must admit I will miss the usability of winmo, but when you think about it, who uses the original UI of that OS? It's all skinned for eyecandy and simplicity to the end user.

So I would like you to see the bright side of this: The HTC TP2 will cost next to nothing very soon (well its darn right cheap already!). And it seems it has all you need!

For taking notes who needs 1ghz, right?

So I consider it a win-win situation for you, cheap phones with the functionality you require :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
The concerns are understandable, but I wouldn't say MS is abandoning the business user. In fact, I would state they are allowing the business user to encompass the newer business model also which includes facebook, twitter and other social mediums. Since you don't use either (directed to the OP) you may have missed that nearly every large corporation has a Facebook page and many are using Twitter to stay in touch with their user base.

The business model of marketing has changed dramatically in the last 5 years and I wouldn't give the credit to either the Iphone or Android, but to the social marketing that occurs with mediums such as Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, etc... I must admit that I fought being a part of these as did many of my friends (ages 35-42), but truth is they work great when it comes to actually being in contact with each other and for a business, it's customer base. Word of mouth has always been the true back bone of these businesses growing and these social mediums all take word of mouth and expand it's power by the millionth.

I applaud MS for actually creating a brand new ui and os to take advantage of both. If you are really concerned with your ability to be productive on the machine look at the many videos we've seen so far. You still have outlook, the office suite, etc... I am unsure if remote desktop will remain available but I believe it will in WP7.

The people who are left out are us nerds. The systems are lockdowned for now on and we get left out the loop, but we buy less phones than the clones do even if we are the reason these things work out properly with all of our experimenting, rom chefs and willingingness to beta test any and everything that comes our way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] tudork:
ok, so I'm enjoying my Desire's speed and stability compared to my WiMo HTC Touch HD. I can still use Word and Excell and synchronize email and calendars, etc. But there is one thing I am missing: handwriting recognition. Now people will tell me to use Swype (which I am) but it's still not the same thing. With the stylus and handwriting recognition I used to sit in meetings and take notes for real. Now it somehow does not work as well and I also feel a little like a joke swyping. I am not much of a poking-through-the-registry kind of guy but I did like having complete access to the file system, being able to move any file where I wanted it, and so on. But I guess this is just the way this world goes. IN the meantime, I am sticking with android for now. It seems that windows phone 7, although it does look great, I love the look, I just cannot part with copy and paste. There is more to this world than tweeting and facebooking.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ I can agree to that. Not the swype part though, its fast as hell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] janneman22:
If i had to choose between windows mobile 6 or wp7, i have already made my decision:rolleyes:

I will surely choose wp7, not because wm 6 is bad, but because wp7 works fluid. And I need my daily amount of eyecandy:D
[Windows Phone 7 General] addicus:
Definetly find me in agreement with you on this point. I won't be even thinking about it until copy and paste come along.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chaoscentral:
I think the only time I have ever used copy and paste on my Vibrant is when I had to put in my unlock code for Launcher Pro. Other than that I really don't use it on a daily basis.

I think my more frequent use is just to clear a text im writing because they texted back and it changed my opinion, so I just cut all to delete it lol
