So the windows 7 software allows syncing to google calender, email and contacts?
[HD7 General] Mr Fett:
I'm stunned that there is no native support for Outlook synchronization with Exchange - this is old school and what I consider a core component of any smartphone I purchase.

I've just bought a HD7 assuming it would have this functionality (why would I check for this on a Windows phone, next I'll need to check the thing makes calls), guess I'm going to have to sell it on.

There maybe Third party solutions but I can't imagine they're ever going to work as well as a direct sync with the Exchange server in my office, giving Contacts, Tasks, Calendar Items, etc.

Absolutely gutted.

[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Of course there's native support.

If you have an exchange server, you have ZERO to worry about.

The issue is people who use Outlook for Pop and Imap. Or people who just use it for tasks and contacts. Without a Hotmail Connector, there is no way to interface with Outlook like the old school Active Sync did.

Again though, If you have Exchange, it works exactly like it does on any other platform, if not better. The only thing lacking right now is Tasks.
[HD7 General] Mr Fett:
Jimbonics,

I could kiss you. My wife wouldn't like it (and neither would you most likely, I'm stubbly)

I've been reading phone forums, reviews and specs for what seems like months trying to choose the right phone (offline voice command via bluetooth is essential for me but Android doesn't do it and other devices have flaky support) so I skim read this thread: my bad.

Thanks for making my day.

[HD7 General] jimbonics:
You will absolutely love the phone and OS. You'll scratch your head at first about some things, but you'll figure them out.

I manage 20 of these things. Feel free to hit me up if you run across any snags.
[HD7 General] Mr Fett:
Great thanks! Really appreciate it!

The phone should be here in a few days as well as a screen protector and silicon case to protect my investment (although I'm not sure if the protector will impair the sensitivity of the screen - we'll see).

All the best

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] StoneyBK:
I'm posting t his in 3 different forums in order to get the most information possible.

I've been a WinMO user for years starting with HTC 8125, then the Tilt and now the Tilt 2. I use mobile office on a daily basis and other 3rd party programs and want to stay with WinMO 7 but am not sure about that now after reading all the posts since the new 7 phones hit.

The other option is switching to Android (I refuse to got to iphone) but not sure about their office suite. Any/all help advice is appreciated and will be taken under consideration before I get a new phone.

I'm not the hacker/programmer/power user that alot of y'all here are but i know how to use what i have and rely on my phone to do a lot and need the stuff i have on it.

If possible please list your pros/cons about both and help me to decide.

Thanks StoneyBK

Note: I am not the maintainer of this ROM.

Has anyone here installed and implemented ShadowROM 0.2.2 for every day use? I am curious as to how it performs, with stability and ease of use being two of the more important attributes. Please reply with your experience, and this post will be updated with any bugs or notable issues that appear systemic.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] Androidnite:
I installed it but didn't tried for daily use because (just like MIUI) the media scanner doesn't recognize pictures/music from emmc. It is based off CM6 so many of the features of that ROM are present here. The only "highlight" feature I noticed was an option to disable the bootanimation. They have a whole subforum at DroidForums so you can get more info here:

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/shadowrom/

The announced they are going to split from CM6 source code, so it'll be interesting to see what stuff they come up with. Here is the thread where they make the announcement:

Cheers!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Nazgul07:
I ran this ROM for about 2 weeks strait and found very little problems with it. It has nice customization features like changing the notifications bar color and the drop down bar color along with the text color of notifications etc. It was very fast running Launcher Pro and great on battery (although I use SetCPU and underclock to save battery) running KK's AOSP BFS kernel.

Just like the above poster said tho about it not recognizing files on emmc is an obvious problem, tho it wasn't a major issue for me. Lot's of AOSP roms have problems in that area until they get fixes.

I'd say try it out, just nandroid first so you can go back if you don't like it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mwknowles92:
So what's going on with this ROM now? Did it die or what?

Did they announce anything? Last I heard from them they were going to deviate from CM's code and do their next release from scratch with AOPS source code.

It works on my just fine. You just need to flash a custom kernel before boot up. ;)

Billygalbreath (one of the dev's of SR) turned his attention full time to application development jubefore Christmas. Shortly after Christmas InsaneNemesis (the other dev) informed me of his decision to discontinue further development of ShadowRom and that he would be returning the development phones to me. The reason being he wants to enjoy his last year of high school. Can't argue with that and I wish him the best. He was very absolute about unplugging and enjoying life. Insane used to idle in the Cyanogen irc channel but I haven't seen him there in at least two weeks.

They actually did get it working using one of Koush's kernels that had the required drivers. However, I'm not sure they publicly released that version.

Can anyone of you provide me the StatusSwitch.apk (widget) from your X10 mini. It's available in /system/app, you can use rootexplorer or something else..

[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
I'm a little perplexed. There is no Genius Button shortcut in my app drawer, and I'm trying to make sure there never was one because I can't quite remember. My Genius Button no longer works either due to my fiddling around with the keypad system file, and I can't get it back.

The only way I can access Genius Button is to run it with Titanium Backup. Then, strangely, once I run it the first time, Genius Button appears in my app drawer as if it installs itself.

So, do you have Genius in your app drawer or not?
[myTouch 4G General] dafish69:

[myTouch 4G General] lghorn:
I'm rooted and have the button in my drawer. Are you using the standard Sense launcher, or an alternative? That makes a difference.

Apparently, the Sense launcher hides some apps/buttons, especially those related to Tmob apps. Try installing LauncherPro or ADW and see if the button is in those app drawers.
[myTouch 4G General] monnietron:
I'm rooted and have it in my appdrawer.
[myTouch 4G General] civicvx94:
After I remapped my genius button the app appeared in the drawer.

Also just an fyi from my experience, freezing the genius apk with titanium backup caused sense to crash frequently
[myTouch 4G General] floepie:
Huh. Well, I figured out what the problem was regarding the keymap file not getting GB to work. It turns out there was a permissions issue.

And, it appears you will see the Genius app in your app drawer only after you start the Genius app following a reboot. That's why some see it and other don't using the stock launcher.
[myTouch 4G General] civicvx94:
That's interesting about the genius button..I never used it at all so it was never in my drawer but after I remapped it, its always in the drawer.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Hello guys, I have a quick question. I am using Outlook Web Access to sync with my work Exchange 2003 account.

When I draft a new mail and send it to my exchange account. The mail is received normally (I meant Rich Text or whatever you want to call it). In other words I have all the Font formating options available when I reply that email.

But when I reply to an email via my device, it is sent as plain text. I hope you guys can understand what I am saying here.

Is there a way to make sure that my emails always go in rich text instead.

My other question is... How do I search my Exchange address book. In WM6.5, compose new email in my exchange account and I hit on the 'To', it use to open up the Exchange address book. I am not sure what is the process on the WP7.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[HD7 General] konnexion:
If I send an email from the phone to my Exchange mailbox it arrives as HTML when opened in Outlook 2010.

Also, when sending an email from the phone, as soon as I start typing in the To field I get a list of matching names in a box below as well as the option "search Outlook Directory" - which actually means search the Global Address List
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Thank you for your response.

I am not getting the option for Search Outlook Directory when I start typing a name in the address book. I just get the list of names from my phone book.

Is your Outlook Sync via Outlook Web Access or directly with your exchange via your company's support?

Regarding the HTML mail... Well, If I'm sending a new email from my phone, it does send the mail in HTML format. But when I'm replying to an email, it sends it in Text format.

Can you clarify the above. Thanks.
[HD7 General] konnexion:
I'm connecting directly to Exchange 2010 using Exchange Activesync.

Outlook always honours the format of the original email when replying - is this maybe what you are seeing with the email client on the phone ?
[HD7 General] VizagDude:
Hmm... I think thats the difference. I set it up by selecting the Outlook option instead of going Advanced and Using Exchange Active Sync. Actually I did not even know that option was there until you mentioned it.

I'll try that route and get back to you.

EDIT: Well, the issue is the same. I still cannot get to search the Exchange Address book / Global address book. The only difference I see from your set up to mine is, that you are syncing to Exchange 2010 while I am Syncing to Exchange 2003.
[HD7 General] konnexion:
No, I also chose the Outlook option.
[HD7 General] VizagDude:

[HD7 General] Steve_Walker:
Exchange 2010 has many changes over 2003 and support for mobile devices, you probably cannot access the GAL in the same way as 2010 presents it to mobile devices.

My HD2 never integrated it but I could search it - the EAS client for Andriod allowed me to search that address space on Ex2003/2007 - I assume 2010 improves this support in WP7.

[General Questions and Answers] tribestros:
So I have my Aria running Cyan 6 (latest release) with an unrEVOked root (the latest one, does NAND, which is why I can run a ROM, right?).

The other day, stupid me deleted the Camera app, which came back anyway, and added the HTCCamera.apk app. Not realizing it wouldn't work without the Sense framework, the app now replaces the default Camera app altogether. Yet the Sense camera doesn't work. So I went into Root Explorer and tried to delete Camera.apk and HTCCamera.apk so I could replace it with a new one from my Cyan zip, but Root Explorer will not delete either. It does nothing. When I try to install my Camera.apk from my SD card, it says the install has failed. When I use terminal emulator, it comes up with an error. Droid Explorer freezes when I try to delete the HTCCamera apk. What the hell?
[General Questions and Answers] ninestraycats:
I've found myself having problems working in /system while booted--I've tried all sorts of mounting schemes and root explorers and all that jazz. Try, instead, using 'adb' while in Recovery (power off your phone while NOT plugged in, boot into Recovery, mount /system, plug in to your computer, make sure 'adb devices' lists your device and recognizes it's in Recovery mode, and start adb-ing).

Also, rather than deleting apk's, use 'mv' to rename them (e.g. 'mv HtcCamera.apk HtcCamera.apk.bak')

anyone know why when switching the pictures back that the images is not sharp? i use a 14mp camera so i don think thats the reason, size perhaps? the images also look a little blurred on the Pictures tiles too.

[Windows Phone 7 General] dressanderc:
I'd love to help, but you be a little more clearer on exactly what is going on?
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
oh sorry , here goes ive put some pictures from my pc to my wp7, when i go to pictures and try to change the background i select one of my own pics that i have transferred from my pic. the background changes but it looks a little blurry and not as sharp as it should be, the same then applies to the pictures tile, its no longer as sharp as it was.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrroey:
I know exactly what you mean. I accidentally formatted my phone using Mac connect and deleted my original sample photos from WP7. To change the background photo of the live tile and to make it not blurry, you need to use an image with big dimensions, somewhere along the lines of 1920x1200 or better. The picture tile image can be in widescreen or fullscreen but fullscreen mode is the correct resoluytion.

for contacts tile google contacts produce low resolutions automatically. If you want a higher resolution just create a new contact under windows live and the contact photo you use will not appear pixelated.

I hope that helps. Also if you wouldnt mind, could you attach the photo of the white dandelions/field from the original sample photos that came preinstalled on your phone? I would love to reset my pictures tile tothat photo but can't find it anywhere and I don't feel like factory resetting my phone to get it back.

thanks
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Can you plz post screen shot or some pic of the blurry tiles?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ProjektFuze:
ok.. so basically.. in order to get a crisp and sharp picture to appear on the live tile... then it has to be a big sized picture?? why wont 480x800 work?? that's the dimension of the phone??

and also.. how do you set or choose which photo appears in the tile?? is there a way to just have it constantly changing?? i think that would be pretty cool
[Windows Phone 7 General] davidebanks:
thanks for the info, ill try it out.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mrroey:
to change the picture of the photo tile, after you open it, slide to the pictures hub, press hold anywhere on the background and it will pop up with two menu items : change background and change it for me.

from there you can choose a photo

I do not know why the normal phone resolution doesn't look as clear. This is just from my experience.

*EDIT*

as you can see, the photo you attached for me has a higher resolution than the phone's 480x800.
