[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
You are not taking into account a customer's wants and needs from the device.

WP7 has a superior UI, superior social networking integration, and superior camera accessibility. What if that is what a customer finds important?

More features doesn't mean "superior" to everyone. Especially if the typical non-techie customer doesn't want or use those features.

Are you really unable to put yourself in other peoples shoes and acknowledge that different people may actually have different needs?

All I am pointing out is that casual users don't see those features as important as power users do. And casual users won't use the presence or lack of those features as their primary focus when buying a device.

It's not foolish or irrational at all. The world doesn't revolve around you or people like you.

Would it have been awesome if all those features were present at launch? Absolutely. But MS made a conscious decision to launch now instead of delaying another year or so.

There are only so many resources dedicated to WP7, and those resources have to be managed. They couldn't be everything to everyone on day one. Or even day 60, or 90, or 200.

MS has already stated that they are targeting causal consumers right now. Power features will be added as they come. It's not like they are choosing to gimp their OS just for the sake of annoying people like you.

When the features are ready and tested, they'll be deployed.

Until then, power users are better off somewhere else.

Reality? The reality is that it wouldn't make business sense to wait another two years to add every feature under the sun before releasing the OS, when there are casual users out there that would be happy to use it the way it is right now.

Something tells me that you're a glass half empty kind of guy. Something also tells me that you're not a business major, or business minor, or have even run a successful lemonade stand.

They have a target customer for now. That target customer just isn't YOU. And for some reason you seem to have taken it personally.

Instead of throwing a fit, you should have done your research and purchased a device that met your needs. Now you're trying to blame Microsoft for your own mistake.

You are not Microsoft's target customer.

Will Microsoft target techies in the future? Maybe. But not for now. Writing software takes time, and they can't get all the features out and tested fast enough for people like you. But that doesn't mean that there aren't a bunch of people out there that would be very happy with their offering.

Different people have different needs. And the sooner you accept that, the better the chance that you'll stop freaking out.

How can i get the stock android slider lockscreen on this rom? every time i try to replace the .jar file in the framework there is a black bar going across the screen where the old lockscreen was. Someone help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
That's because you're doing it wrong. You don't change any files in the framework for that mod. You replace the android.policy.odex file.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiXXeD:
I think he means the framework folder (/system/framework) which is correct.

I thought his ROM already had the android stock lock though... do you want the touchwiz/glass lock screen? Or Taplock (with the slide left/right options)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aknitter1:
I dont want the glass lock screen. I hate it. I want the 2 slider one
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Of the three variations of Shep's ROM, there are 2 with the stock lockscreen, one without. I guess he has the one without.

He actually was replacing the correct file. Sorry aknitter1.

Since Shep's ROMs are fully deodexed, you will want this file.

Is it possible to port the drop down notification bar with built in extended control Widgets to say OD 4.0.36
[Desire General] leoparis:
I am looking for the same as well. Apparently, the Galaxy S has something similar, as well.

Are there any applications doing this?
[Desire General] GANJDROID:
Port, probably not. Make it yourself, yes.

Thats not me being harsh, but only Samsung, the MIUI genius' and the CyanogenMod team have done it.

You can get status bar toggles, but not like the MIUI/Gala S/CM ones, theyre built into the roms.

[XPERIA X10 General] igma:
I I don't know if it's 2,1 I hope so though,

Maybe it's chinese i don't have an xperia at the moment to test it, I said I have a toll in my service and just went to see through update files I saw that version of xperia so I just want to uploadit to se is there any change or not, or maybe it works better than 026 I don't know

can i add HTC Hubs to Samsung WP7

simple Samsung HardWare options in better than HTC .. But htc have a nice developers code a nice applications that i wanna it to be in my Samsung WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] nizzon:
What exactly in the HTC-hub are you interested in?

Personally, and I know Im not alone, I think the HTC Hub looks like a joke that most people will remove from their homescreen and never ever use.

Imo, up to now HTC have gained alot of sales from their great WM-improvements called TouchFlow 3D and Sense.

But now when thats not needed in WP7 they need to let it go and start concentrating on hardware again. They did not impress with these phone.

[Windows Phone 7 General] mshagg:
Ive removed the Hub from my mozart (as above... it's kinda useless) but there is an HTC section in the marketplace where i can download it again if i wish to do so.

Based on that, im guessing you would need to get an HTC-flavoured ROM onto your sammy which includes this customisation to the marketplace in order to access the Hub app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Dr.Mazika:
so answer is no .. you can't use htc hubs in samsung device
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Has anyone tried to extract the required files from one of the HTC ROMs, repackaged these as xap's and sideloaded them on a different device? Obviously, you need a developers account to be able to try this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work (unless they are checking deviceinfo in code).

Since i would like to throw all apps on external SD..

i serch the WWW and ppl said that core apps you cannot move, but the rest you shuld be abel to move to external SD card.

and second .. well .. i just realize that when i enter settings my background is going black. Maybe since before i was having mostly black background and didint notice, so is that like normal or i ****ed up in some settings?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techcraver:
For the last three days (since Monday really), I'm experiencing random data drop outs on my Nexus One running CM6. for reference, I'm using the 4.06 radio

This is a new issue, just started Monday. I'm in an 3G area - normally when I fire up a data connection, the indicator goes from 3G to 'H'. But when the issue presents itself, it alternates between H and 3G.

But nowadays, randomly, data just *stops* working..normally for a few minutes at a time. If I enter and exit Airplane mode, it seems to go back to working.

Anyone experiencing something similar? Also, the issue is appearing at different parts around Portland Oregon - in locales miles away form each other (like 20 miles away).

I'm on T-Mobile. This issue has never happened before Monday - for me, T-Mobile's data network has been rock solid in the areas I frequent.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyBones1:
Ok when I flash a new ROM and want to do so with a clean slate/wipe, I have titanium backup to back up all my apps, but I'm still kinda unsure of the full procedure as obvious as it may seem... When I did my first wipe, I had to go back and redo all of my information for everything on the phone. Is this typical? What I mean by that is I had to input all my google account info, set up my home screens, set up my facebook app...and turn off all of my sync's...

if you don't wipe, do you have to do all of that? Does a titanium backup on apps/system data allow you to not have to do this?

is this the proper step by step:

1.Titanium backup - apps/system data

2. Rom manager -download rom w/ wipe and back up

3. load rom

4. titanium restore - apps/system data?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smtom:
Just apps or apps+user data. System data varies from ROM to ROM. Plus, you have no need of multiple copies of system data.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeyBones1:
