After seeing the debockle that took place with the JI5 file, I figure its safer for the Devs to play with it and work it into their ROMs rather then people flashing it stock, cause really, who here keeps their phone on a stock rom anyway :P

Almost done uploading. Via 4shared and Multiupload.
[Vibrant Android Development] scmurphy13:
I downloaded it, but I have no idea what to do now since I can't use it on Odin. I flashed JI5, and I haven't run into any problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:
Thanks, I was just about to do that, infact I also packaged it as .tar and was about to flash with ODIN. That's sad that we can't flash it yet...maybe .tar has some headers or checksum which loses it's integrity when we try to manually package it?

Thanks for the reply...I just can't wait to use ODIN(again) :D
[Vibrant Android Development] boodies:
why do these things always pop up before we [edit: maybe not we lol] goto bed!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] VICosPhi:

Good that it came on a weekend though ;) we can hope dev's jump on this one

Not questioning your logic, but I do not see a clever explantion for the last (only) official release which was JFD, or do they use letters for official releases (instead of numbers)?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnthonyDG:
When Telus releases the 2.2 update for their HTC Desire, could someone upload the RUU for that? My desire is pretty much bricked. I can't access recovery or my OS, so this RUU may be my only hope.

As you all know, Telus RUU's are impossible to find. I really hope that this isn't an OTA update.

Anyone know if this update will be OTA ? Or will it be offered as a download from their website?

Is there some way for a person to dump the 2.2 RUU when it comes out? I'm assuming ppl can't do that with the 2.1.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0play:
I soft bricked my Vibrant after installing Bionix 1.4 w/Jacs OC/UV/Voodoo kernel. I used Odin to flash back to stock rom which was unsuccessful. It allowed me to boot to the samsung logo and then go black.

Grasping at straws I used clockwork recovery to do a nandroid restore to the vibrant9 rom I was running before (with the KingKlick kernel, but as I understand it nandroid doesnt backup or restore kernels). I thought maybe the kernel got switched back to the stock one but I'm lacking a ROM? Anyway, nandroid restored the system files but when going to restore data it gave me an error about not finding mmcblk0p2, when I go into adb shell and type mount, it tells me I have mmcblk0p3.

Is there any way for me to fix this so I can restore from my nandroid backups? I have everything in titanium and I can still access all the data on the sd card, but I'd really like to just have things back to how they were before installing the Bionix.

Thanks!

Exact same thing

i had to do the exact same thing this morning. except mine would boot up fully. i couldnt get the internal memory to recognize at all so i couldnt disable the lagfix

blah blah blah... odin and fix 1 worked. i wished i had backups on my computer i should know better by now too. thats the stupid part. all that data lost.

Yea, I'm not new to this sort of thing, just this piece of hardware. I felt really confident after flashing a few ROM's and always read instructions for each new install, I was really surprised to find myself in that pickle. At least I learned something.

Going forward I'm being very dilligent about organizing a backup of my nandroid backups, different ROM's, everything needed to get back to stock, and most importantly the contents of my internal SD card! Nothing had ever messed with that partitioin before so I thought it would be fine, I also thought that nandroid or titanium would backup all my e-books since they were imported into Aldiko, WRONG-O!, it just saves the library index, gotta re-import over 600 books :O

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shardz:
I have a small bug but very annoying to me. I have a few games installed. and I just want to create a bunch of shortcuts to them stored inside a folder called 'Games' on the home screen. The first day i create the folder, it will work fine and open the folder. but then usually the 2nd or 3rd day it will not open the folder.

i have other folders for the same purpose created from that 1st day and they still work by the 2nd or 3rd day, but they are named differently for different apps.

I'm thinking the 'Games' name is interfering with some android processes or something.

Dont know if this happened to anyone else? my searches came up empty.

if someone could try it then post the results from the 2nd or 3rd day, i would be able to troubleshoot it further.

[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
I was pretty bummed to realize that Windows Phone 7 cannot sync with Outlook (for contacts, calendar, tasks, notes, etc.). The lack of local sync support was one of the only reasons I hadn't switched to Android, and now WP7 is in the same boat.

Ironically the iPhone will now be the only smartphone that can sync with Outlook (iTunes syncs PIM data pretty decently with Outlook-- I had assumed similar functionality would be added to the Zune client, but apparently not).

The only solution for WP7 is to use hosted Exchange or a Hotmail account with a connector plugin for Outlook (just like Android and the Google Calendar connector):

http://pocketnow.com/windows-phone/how-to-sync-windows-phone-7-with-outlook

Besides the fact that people and companies might not be comfortable hosting all of their private data remotely on Hotmail/Google Apps, what happens when you make changes that aren't synced to the web (e.g. if you don't have an internet connection at a certain point or the sync interval hasn't kicked in yet)?

It's also a huge hassle for backup-- the only way to backup your info locally is to create a new PST in Outlook and copy over each type of item individually, then copy the file somewhere. Right now, I have my PST set to automatically back up weekly.

Using the Hotmail/Gmail plugins for Outlook provides a far less consistent and reliable experience than native Outlook data stores, and one might as well just use those services' web UIs rather than bothering with web sync plugins.

Of course, this is a broader issue-- Microsoft is abandoning the millions of people who currently use Windows Mobile and MS' own desktop PIM solution. Even the cloud services MS launched for WM, like MyPhone, are incompatible with WP7's cloud services. The average user has no way of bringing that data over to WP7. With this kind of track record, how can users trust MS?

Will MS fans (if there are any left) stick around despite getting shafted whenever MS strategies change (e.g. WL Spaces- people should've just gone with WordPress/etc. in the first place)? Despite all its problems, Apple treats its iPhone customers far better. The first-gen iPhone received all updates through OS 3.x, all services are still compatible, and upgrading to their newest product is effortless (even without going all cloud-based, in which case I might as well just have a browser on a screen, like Chrome OS).

The question comes down to this: if MS is forcing us to abandon its own desktop apps and go cloud-only, then why should I should go for Hotmail (with its subpar UI) and WP7 (which offers only a different (and not necessarily any better) UI, Xbox Live score integration (which casual gamers don't care about), and subpar functionality for 2010) instead of Google Apps and Android, or any other phone OS?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, you can sync your contacts with Gmail in WP7 as well, so you don't have to use Hotmail, even though it has some advantages. Why you would choose WP7 over Android is a totally different topic.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Intervenient:
Wait...Windows Phone 7 has no calender syncing abilities?
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Only cloud-hosted calendars- no Outlook sync support.

WMDC/ActiveSync are gone and the functionality has not been added to the Zune client (which only does pictures/music/movies).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It syncs calendar with cloud services like Exchange, Gmail, Hotmail etc. You can't sync it with your desktop via USB.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Hotmail syncing shares the same inherent disadvantages as Gmail-- PC-phone PIM updates take much longer, require both devices to have internet service; if you don't have a Wifi network, then you have to use cell data, and if you have poor reception wherever you are, you're SOL.

Gmail's calendar and contacts don't properly sync with Outlook (they have different data fields, only some of which will sync, and more advanced things like recurring appointments and time zones easily screw things up). I haven't tested Hotmail-Outlook syncing extensively enough to comment on it in this regard.

MS' primary strength on the desktop side was always that it built extensible, mostly backwards-compatible platforms (and when there were monumental shifts, like Win9x to NT kernel, the transition happened gracefully, through XP). For years, MS has pushed Outlook for individual users (or businesses not using Exchange) and Exchange-hosted Outlook for enterprises-- now there's a disruptive shift, leaving users in the lurch.

MS is understandably now developing its cloud services, but it has provided no straightforward upgrade/migration path for Outlook users. It's ironically much easier to use WP7 if you never went with MS in the first place and chose Google Apps instead (in which case why go with MS now- you're bound to get screwed over again in the future- at least with Google you know there'll be some continuity).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Intervenient:
Ick, definitely a deal breaker for me. I'm not a fan of hot mail, and Google Calendars, while convenient for some, is a headache to use and not intuitive at all (not to mention iCal doesn't play nice with it).

Rats, there goes my dreams of running an OS that get's non-tampered updates, whilst being able to chose my hardware. Hopefully Microsoft finds a solution soon.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, you do have to use cell data plan, but otherwise it's infinitely faster except for initial sync, it uses microscopic amounts of data, and seriously, do you really have Outlook installed on a computer without Internet access?

There is an argument I can understand, although not agree with, about security and privacy and all that, but in terms of convenience cloud sync is way superior.

Also, Hotmail is of course compatible with Outlook and doesn't suffer from Gmail's problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I thought there was a different Zune client that syncs all that stuff?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
It doesn't sync Outlook data
[Windows Phone 7 General] Tom Servo:
I'd wager that the Zune 5.0 software will come with sync.

Too bad that externalized services aren't quite as integrated in Outlook as I'd like. Using Gmail IMAP and Google Calendar works fine, but they're still not part of the central Outlook data file.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
I Totaly agree...

Creating a new OS from gound up was bound to have some features not included at launch its what you have to do as you can never add everything and just looking at the features that will be available in WP7 compaired to ios and android when they first launched is light years ahead. I do not have any doubts that MS will provide the best OS available but all good things take time.. Just look at where XBox is now compared to first launch everyone said MS could never compete with sony now seems they have surpassed sony.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jeffbartel:
I had the same initial concerns. I have used Outlook for many years now to connect to my Hotmail account, but used the Calendar/Contacts/Tasks/Notes locally (saved as a .pst file).

However, a few months ago, I built a new computer which means that I had to reinstall Outlook, and instead of choosing the same method, I decided to make my Hotmail account the default, and connect my .pst file after that. I then dragged and dropped all of my calendar/contacts/tasks/notes to that file. Now Hotmail only syncs up email/calendar & contacts, but the tasks & notes can reside in the same file (they just need a backup since they do not exist in the "cloud").

I have had a great experience using outlook with my Hotmail account so far. I never use the web based version, but use outlook for everything. The only difference is now Hotmail is the hub, and outlook is a connector. Compatability has not been and issue at all. Even though the web based Hotmail doesn't contain fields such as categories (at least Outlook categories), I have never had a problem with Outlook losing the categories due to a sync issue.

I did connect my outlook to gmail once and had all sorts of problems due to difference in fields. Outlook would sync to gmail, and once it was synced, Outlook would think gmail contained differenct versions of all contacts/calendar etc. since they didn't have the category fields etc., so at the end of the day I had duplicates of everything.

I have had no trouble like this with Hotmail. I think that Hotmail is starting to look similar in many ways to Outlook (which is a good thing IMHO), and I think the compatability is improving with each version. The one problem I do have is Hotmail (or WP7 for that matter) does not support Tasks/Notes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
A WM 6.5 device plugged into a PC running WMDC will instantly update the phone with any Outlook data changes (I can click save on an event in Outlook, and couple of seconds later, boom, updated on the phone). With Hotmail and WP7, I need to be connected to the internet, wait until the next sync interval, then have the phone update from the web (since WP7 phones cannot access the web through the USB AS connection either).

Let's say I use Outlook on a laptop and travel to places where Wifi isn't necessarily available/convenient at all times. Can't tether to 3G through WP7 either, which makes this scenario quite probable. Currently, I can make scheduling updates or write notes in Outlook regardless of internet access, which will instantly sync to my phone-- without local sync, nothing will be synced until I can reach the server.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, with cloud sync you don't need to wait for sync interval, just use push and everything will update instantly without the need to connect.

Yes, there are scenarios where you don't have connectivity, I agree. Never had any problem with it though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Well, Xbox was at least competitive with PS2 on launch. It didn't have the titles, but it had a killer app (Halo), and eventually Xbox Live gave it a big leg up.

Feature-to-feature, WP7 is not competitive with Android or iOS today, and all the launch devices have older hardware (1st-gen Snapdragon), low storage capacity (e.g. 8 GB, non-expandable), and are missing features like front-facing cameras. Even if WP7 and the launch handsets were at parity, I'd be skeptical of MS' marketing abilities (Xbox is the only product MS has successfully sold to end users in a long time).

Who is the target user, and why would they buy this over an iPhone or Android handset?

Apparently not because they want something that'll work the best with MS' own offerings (that'll now be the iPhone, with both Exchange and local Outlook syncing).
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Feature to Feature depends on the user as i personaly think WP7 is and will be at launch much better than ios and android.. local sync to outlook is a personal thing and not everyone cares about that. and as mentioned before its not like they can't incorprate it in the next release or even at launch as no one knows this for sure or how much longer it will be when it will be added to that latest zune client. but as far as music to music zune is far more advance and better than ios or android, i can also say the same for the xbox live compaired to ios games hub wait ios dosnt have a games hub... pictures hub same the list goes on and on bing search, navagition etc..

"Who is the target user, and why would they buy this over an iPhone or Android handset?" apperently a whole lot of people who are currently awaiting the launch...

front facing cameras only work if you have someone else with the same iphone4 so that point is currently mute. and i am sure when wp7 does it it will not try to pass something off the the end user that only works with one type of phone.

lastly windows 7 and windows server along with the current mso are all very successful or the question of syncing with their outlook would not be posted here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Intervenient:
Can you sync it with Google Calendar?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Yes, you can sync it with google calendar.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
You can use Outlook, etc to update your hotmail/Google calendars and then have that sync with the phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
iOS has the Game Center, which collects scores/achievements/etc. and pretty much does what the average user would care about from Xbox Live. I don't really see the point of the pictures hub beyond being a conjoined mess of a local photo album + FB photos (which are better navigated in a real FB app).

There is a Bing Search app for the iPhone, and as for maps, Google Maps is still much better in most geographies (Bing Maps is pretty poor on my HD2-- hopefully Google will be able to create a WP7 app). WP7 can't support full GPS navigation apps because they wouldn't be able to run in the background, so I don't know how that's an advantage-- and Android phones come with the free Google Navigation.

On XDA maybe, but I don't know of a single non-techie who's heard of WP7, let alone awaiting it. Hopefully this will change once MS' marketing is under way...

How about the huge array of Android phones with front-facing cameras, for use with Fring and such?

Windows Server is not a consumer product, and the vast majority of Windows 7 licenses are not bought at retail. Office is the only PC-side product MS really sells to consumers, and that's mainly because there is no viable alternative (i.e. Google Docs and Apple Pages are not there yet).

Outlook is primarily a business product-- no edition of Office costing less than $280 even comes with it. I don't anyone else besides myself who uses Outlook on their own personal PC (almost every single friend of mine uses Gmail; those few with local email clients typically use Thunderbird).
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Why would a "full GPS navigation app" need to work in background?
[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Missed a few words there, but that was about where WP7 stands compared to the iPhone or Android for navigation today. Without multitasking, you can't do anything else on a WP7 phone, like reading/responding to a text message, browsing through the music library, taking a call, etc. without having to close the nav app. Apps can try to compensate by attempting to smoothly reposition you once they are restored, like some did on the iPhone before 4.0, but WP7 is nonetheless at a feature disadvantage-- it's now the only one of the bunch without multitasking.
