I must say by the standart no....But I know that the wp7 UI seems a low ram eater. We just need some awesome hackers that extract the basic rom and place all the features except for some like the xbox part in a rom we could use. Manilla 2.5 or sense was developed for hd2 and where using it. I beleive ut could be done. I think this requirements where made to bring the best of the phone and don't be stuck behind the lame and false publisity of the iphone.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoshPuiu:
...just we have to wait for WM7 kitchen...

Yes, it is and I'm sure that will be a WM7 ROM for Topaz.

Of course, it could be better to have 1GHz processor but don't forget that Topaz can be safely overclocked to about 700 MHz and also don't forget that there are a lot of marketing reasons to NOT encourage porting WM7 on older mobile phones.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryanwayb:
Sorry for bring up an old thread. Just wanna say something.

From a developer standpoint nothing is completely impossible. If someone were to make a direct port from WP7 to a slower device with less ram then some modifications will need to be done to it. This could mean leaving some parts of wp7 out (which may cause instability to applications that require those features) or developing a custom version of a system file for use in WP7 for the phone in question (also may cause instability if the programmer doesn't know what he/she's doing). Obviously it's not a simple "cut and paste" from WM to WP7.

Also, I have already tried to extract a NBH rom with WP7 on it in a WM rom extractor, just to test and see if the format was the same. The formats are different. They have differences in their sections so any normal WM boot loader wouldn't be able to load a WP7 rom in a WM rom format. A solution would probably be to flash a new boot loader to support WP7 roms however this is dangerous and has a very high risk of bricking your device (after all, the one thing that can really save you from bricking your device is your boot load to flash a new rom, so messing with the boot loader itself can do your device in for good unless you have a backup boot loader just lying around).

Take these words into consideration if you're working on a port. :)

INFO

hmm Actually, you dont NEED a 1ghz processor, however you need a v7 instruction capable processor. TOPAZ has a v6 one, so its a no go.

On the other hand, if devs could get their hands on a the source code, remove the xbox live and strip high-requirement features then make the rom available on it should work, however WP7 was written to take advantage of v7 technology.

Is windows phone 7 still not possible for Topaz?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4226035:
No it is not possible as MS need different hardware for WP and WM devices does not fit in there except the HD2 (I love my HD2 for this).
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the1980ar:
But I dont have a HD2 :( and only have TD2 at present. OK I will have to stay with WinMO 6.5 till I get a new WP7 mobile :cool:

Thank you all.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dusty_nz:
Thought I would just present some feedback on what I am seeing with some of the builds. Whilst both amazing and really cool there are a few basic considerations.

As close as possible to full functionality.

Whilst the latest ACE/Desire roms are way sexy it is a bit frustrating to find out 90% of the new Roms are using this and there is no camera. I use this feature a lot.

Whilst the old Sense was a little more plain it certainly worked and delivered more functionality. Across the board.

PPP versus RMNET.

100% for 80% of the time is not as good as 70% all of the time. Whilst RMNET was clunky and a hack it was reliable and worked 100% of the time. All the new builds are dropping RMNET for PPP which for a number of people is simple a loss of functionality.

I currently use Froystone 3.1 with a latter Hastarin kernel. This with the use of GPS status tool gives me

Almost instant GPS access.

Working and accurate compass

G-Sensor is working

Camera is quick and works.

Internet is great but a little unreliable.

Sense. Actually like it.

If I had a choice the only thing I would do is drop back to RMNET for reliability.

Hey, when you root your XT, would you mind doing me a favor?

ill assume you will run one of the 2, 2.1 roms out, adlx and barely blurred.

g-sensor works, however in the game 'furdiburb' the virtual pet. the g-sensor no longer works.

(if you arent familiar with the app, on first load, he is in egg. tilt phone, egg should rock back and forth)

just trying to figure out if this is a glitch on my phone. or an artifact of the builds themselves.

id really appreciate it if you wouldnt mind helping me out.

Actually, I think what he is writing is a personal perception of what will work for him/her. The writer did not "Biatch" about the in efficiencies of developers because the developers arn't efficient. The writer is merely stating what he/she wishes to see in a build and did so in a quite articulate manner with informative data that helps to substantiate the findings.

I think most of you should try not to "flame" unless you find writers obnoxious and out to make our dear developers look like they are wasting time. I understand that this is a developer site, all of us like it or not are beta testers. Being beta, the abundance of glitches are bound to happen. Reporting them is not a crime. Though the writer states in the topic as " What I really want in a build" come on guys, isn't a step into perfection what we all aim to achieve? Instead of flaming, we should just write our findings properly, may help even developers see what can be worked on and hopefully even collaborate to create a build that is universally accepted. HOW ELSE CAN WE GO NAND if we don't get the various builds to work efficiently! Is it effective now? YES! For sure.

Is it efficient now? Nope not yet, it will be, with everyone's help in reporting!

Truth is that in all Linux community developers think that stable enough is the same as stable. I admire all hard work they do, but they could not achieve their goal without beta testing. Flaming writer for this post is wrong, if he puts it in general forum not even a single developer would read it. If developers don't want any criticism why they make roms public...

Time I re-stepped in.

First thing. A number of people have wrong assumed this post is a complaint. Actually I have done the opposite and commented on the great work including my current setup being 99.9% perfect. No demands or biaching, Just constructive feedback.

Second thing is that it was feedback for Dev's. thats why I put it here versus the generals forum. A few people have read the post for what it is. There has been a slight shift to the desire roms which whilst great for eye candy is a slight step back for functionality.

Third. Actually between donations for rom builders for my Polaris, HD, HD2 including people like Xannytech, dutty and cortulla I have donated close to $200.

I do support the work dev's do both financially and with constructive feedback. This was constructive feedback.

I do apologize to anyone who interpreted this post as a complaint. I have been using android on my HD2 for since almost day 1 and am really impressed with the results.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] motoman234:
I understand what your saying, but the devs are going to do it their way regardless. They do their best (for FREE!) and they are trying to release the HD ROMs because a ton of people like them and they are trying to make them better. I know you didnt mean it this way but I think threads like this can sometimes do more harm than good as far as the devs go.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bjkoh:

I may only be a junior member here but I am happy to get even 80% fuctionality out of a piece of software that was never written for the phone we have. I understand why the camera doesn't work with the oh so pretty HD builds (the source physically isn't available yet, same reason for the reader) but I do not lament it. Your camera will still work while in WinMo or you could have used some of that ~$200 to buy a digicam. If you want to criticise, constructively or otherwise, there really does not need to be another thread made along with the dozens of others that get ignored by the devs. Each build that you may have a problem with has it's own thread and the problems you list have been mentioned in each numerous times over. That is why this thread is a waste of time.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Honest there was another thread like this before . Maybe this should be the thread where everyone post their findings.

To the op. I don't mind your list. But I will say everyone's is different. I been using shubcraft 1.5 for weeks now between hastarins(thanks for releasing your kernal to the masses hastarin) and michys kernal .

My flash timing is wrong my bt doesn't work and I don't have gps working. This is my everyday build. I have tried every other build and this is what works for me . Ask the T-Mobile reps I talk to. They will tell you I think it's perfect.

For the guys who want to tar and feather. I understand. But life is far to short to let others bring you down. Enjoy you android hope for windows phone 7. Give props to those who think outside the box

Oh and don't give a compliment and then take it away by bringing up a negative

I found this in Android General, so I can only assume a Mod moved it, or else the comments on its location make no sense.

To the point though, the flames were useless and completely nonconstructive given the context of the OP.

As to the content of his post, I agree 110%. I've sense moved on and just cooked my own ROM and don't really have to deal with these issues anymore, but still, sucks others do :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hatefly:
Yes, hard work for actual devs, but for the chefs, meh. It takes a little time for a chef to cook, port, w/e a ROM, but not much more.

Hell, I never touched Linux of any kind before all this, and if I could figure it out, I think anyone could. GRANTED, it was work to LEARN, and it did take weeks to get it all right, but i was given no instruction.

Samsung USB Drivers MS Windows 64bit HERE 32bit drivers HERE pick the drivers that work with your pc I have windows 7 so I use 64bit.

Step 1. Download the 512 PIT file HERE this file needs to be un rared with Winrar its a free program it HERE.

Step 2. Download the T959UVJFD.tar HERE

Step 3. Get your phone in download mode try just holding the volume up and down at the same time then plug the usb in, you might have to pull the battery and then put it back in the phone then hold volume up and down at the same time then plug the usb in it should go into download mode.

Step 4. Open Odin 1.30.

Step 5. Load the 512 PIT file you extracted with winrar into Odin 1.30 PIT section of Odin

Step 6. Load the T959UVJFD.tar you downloaded into Odin 1.30 into the PDA section of Odin.

Step 7. Click the Start button in Odin.

Step 8. Let it do its thing.

Step 9. Thank me

I can agree to that.

That mode always works as a download mode for me as well.

Just plug the phone in, and see if odin recognizes it, if it doesn't.

Try to reinstall or install the drivers for your phone. The best way i found to do that is install mini kies by samsung, it installs ALL drivers for your phone.

Hi Everyone,

Was browsing through some posts today and I came across one that stated one of the Cons of flashing to cog 2.2 was:

"after flashing couple of times from reverting to eclair to froyo will ban you from andriod market and the phone will state that there is no sim even if there is one inserted"

Yet this is the first time i've heard of such a thing can anyone confirm if this is true or not?

Thank you for your time!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjo65:
I've read of other market issues (dl's stalling midway, not installing, etc.,) but I've not heard of this issue before.

I have flashed all of DG's 2.2 Betas (after first flashing back to JF6 using Odin3 one-click) and the only time I had any market issues was the one time I restored apps + data through TiBu rather than just apps. And even then I got the market to work, it just took several attempts for each app in order to update or dl/install.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegendler:
I don't know if this problem is real or if I am just being paranoid and imagining something but basically it goes something like this:

I recently rooted and lagfixed my vibrant with OCLF 2+. I am new to rooting and all this so I tried not to do too much, no new ROMs or anything. All I have done so far is download a few root specific programs and applied a theme with metamorph but took it off.

So now when I am browsing on 3G, it loads very very slowly. But if I do speedtest it works really well, high speeds. I also downloaded Dolphin HD to see if it was just the stock browser. Dolphin HD loaded the sites just fine. But market is also having issues, saying no network connection.

Am I just imagining slow connection and being impatient? Or could there be a problem?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
Whatever the actual problem may be, I suggest you forget the OCLF lag fix, and just get the Bionix rom. I have heard of far too many problems with the OCLF lag fix, and the Bionix rom does far more than that lag fix can ever do.

But, did you try undoing the lag fix and seeing if that affected your speeds?
