[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
No possible at all, wp7 has a device identifier built in and the epic wouldn't be recognized
[Epic 4G General] Machina2o2:
not to mention that wp7 only runs on snapdragon hardware that exists on the evo not epic.
[Epic 4G General] ryno502:
Could be wrong here, but doesn't the Samsung Focus have a Hummingbird chip?
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
No, it has a Snapdragon CPU.

I can post many links for this, but I'll just go with this one:

Having wp7 on the epic would be like downgrading your phone...

[Epic 4G General] Slvrshot:
I completely disagree.
[Epic 4G General] jeffyv2:
Because of the hardware its gonna be on but he os is garbage lol...

[Epic 4G General] drunix:
Having a choice in operating systems would be amazing. I just wish phone hardware was at least as open as PC hardware :(

I wouldn't choose to run WP7 personally, but the ideology of having multiple OS choices for a device you bought is great. I'd love to have meego on our phones :)

[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Putting WP7 on an android phone would probably lead to a law suite :/..MeeGo on the other hand is open source thus a possibility...
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Ya I doubt microsoft would be happy about that. From what I remember they've been pretty quick to squash the WP7 hacking community. Which is stupid because a hacking community really makes or breaks a phone OS imo. We're not the majority but we're a very loud minority and the things people like our devs do are things that (more often than not) make the phones better and are sometimes taken note of by the corporate devs.
[Epic 4G General] XpyroXcoreX:
i just thought it would be awesome, idk, wp7 just looks fun, i still prefer android over it, but itd just be fun to see how fast it would go on a hummingbird. i knew all the wp7s had snapdragons, but i didnt know they had to have snapdragons.... was a cool dream while it lasted i guess, maybe a dev or something will try and find a workaround

Does not know what is your mean
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Orange firmware you go to Orange for it .

Interpreting your post you want to downgrade your firmware to previous version .

If you did not make a back up before upgrading and want the official Orange firmware you need to go to Orange nobody else has it .

Your other choice is to fix the problem or use ODIN to flash a stock non Orange Firmware to your phone .

If its a genuine Orange update to FROYO then i suggest taking the phone to Orange under warranty as your first step .

Free Xbox 360 Game

with Windows Phone 7 Smartphones

Microsoft is giving customers another reason to choose a Windows Phone 7 SmartPhone from AT&T.

From 12/17/2010 through 12/31/2010, any customer that purchases a Windows 7 Device (Samsung Focus, the HTC Surround or the LG Quantum) can choose from four Xbox 360 games.

•	Fable III

•	Halo Reach

•	Kinect Joy Ride (requires Xbox Kinect sensor)

•	Kinect Kinectimals (requires Xbox Kinect sensor)

Customer Steps:

•	To receive their free game, customers must visit wxwxw.myfreexbox360game.com[/url] to review redemption instructions:

o	This offer is not redeemable in stores.

o	The web site goes live at midnight on December 17, 2010.

•	Customers must mail the redemption form, a copy of their purchase receipt, and a copy of their UPC within 45 days of purchase.

•	Customers should receive their games within 6-8 weeks from the date their submission is received.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
They are also giving out a free WP7 xbox live game, ilomilo.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skillz9669:
that game is horribly addicting!!! I just wish they would announce these things though because I bought my surround and quantum on the 12th. I emailed microsoft though and hopefully I don't have to return them and buy again just to get my free games.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
When is ilomilo coming to the general WP7 public again?
[Windows Phone 7 General] skillz9669:
its under the AT&T apps, not the games section, its the top app under top free. Took me a minute to find it
[Windows Phone 7 General] Quicksilver4648:
Holy crap, is this for real? 1,000 free Internets to you kind sir for informing me of this deal. My family got two new Samsung Focuses last week so this is additional icing on an already full and delicious cake.
[Windows Phone 7 General] SuperSport:
I received an email from them today directing me to THIS PAGE. Just in case the other one stops working for some reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] skillz9669:
Your very welcome, ENJOY!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] YannieBoy:
Supposedly in Jan.

Also this deal is also offered with Tmobile.

[About XDA developers] jwils96:
thanks :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Thank you! I will try this as soon as the files are available.

Are there any downsides? Is everything working as before? What about the speed (when loading apps for example)?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Yes, there are a few downsides. While booting from the sdcard, you cannot mount the sdcard via the phone (you'll need to use a card reader, or push/pull files with adb). There may be some performance issues while booting from the sdcard aswell. The camera and the music player also don't work.

However, if you decided to put the rom into the phone's internal memory, all this is fixed! :D Absolutely no downsides. Unless you don't like the theme, then I guess that is a downside.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] novincobra:
thanks for making a new thread, thread pulpoff2 was hacked by ****-arsehole people! maybe.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:

i'll help by uploading the firmware files on mediafire.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] siryu88:
actually I need the firmware 2.1 unmodified, but I'm okay to waiting.

Thx before.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
That can be done. You mean unmodified, but rooted, right? :P

Thank you very much!! You have the latest ROM right? I'll add these to the OP when you are done. :D

Understood.

Edit: @propc, What is unyaffs used for?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] HAKA:
will the custom ROM have Timescape???? Or it will be the non-customized Android version.....

sry if this is a stupid question....

and i am just a beginner, so want a ask, what to you mean by "Flash 2.1 kernel" how to do it.....what are the files?? what is 2.1 kernel file??

i am new here...sry! :)
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
I think it's the latest. btw, it's stable no worries
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Sorrry, I'll edit the OP. What I mean is, flash the 2.1 firmware, but without the files system.sin and userdata.sin (if your doing the sdcard method). This is basically flashing the 2.1 kernel only. Hang in there, the files will be available for download soon.

The custrom rom does not have timescape. You may have to restore ALL apps as there are some missing that will prevent you downloading your providers settings. I'm not sure which it is, so my solution is restoring them all. :-S

Excellent! Thanks again for the help. :P
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] propc:
i'm uploading data.img, x8.img and russian 2.1(.sin files)

any other files that need to be upload?

using unyaffs, you can extract x8.img directly to /system

maybe needed for future

folder for needed files are up (uploading other files .....)

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
What is this custom ROM I keep reading about? What exactly is different there, except for the theme? I would like to see a screenshot of the theme, btw. Is JIT enabled?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
Uhh. Probably not. The difference is just the theme, and root on 2.1. Because you can't get root any other way, if I'm not mistaken.
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] a-k-t-w:
My guess is that you didn't mount the x8.img properly?

Or my cp command could be wrong. OH! Don't copy each app one by one, just the folders!

Don't put /* at the end! That means you are copying the contents of the folder! You want the entire folder on /system !
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] DerEineDa:
Ok, this means we have to use this customized ROM to gain root. Thanks for clarifying.

[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Aw man... yea thats pretty hot.
[EVO 4G General] Righteous Joe:
Get an Iphone, if you dont want one then wait a little, and like most Iphone apps they will find their way to the fastest growing OS out there right now.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Yea I just hope its not at the slow pace we usually have to wait. There are still some apps that they have on IOS that we dont have yet so I just bought and jailbroke an itouch 4 gen and use my evo as a hotspot. Kinda like with the netflix thing... bad thing about IOS is its just one OS a year... good thing is it makes it a lot easier for devs to code for it without having to make sure its compatible for a lot of different versions.
[EVO 4G General] nuggyunlimited:
Hope it get's ported to android
[EVO 4G General] Righteous Joe:
The reason its one OS a year its cause its one phone a year, and that what apples head honcho tries to bad talk Android because of fragmentation, basically meaning so many diff versions of OS's on so many devices that not all android apps are compatible, so he thinks his one device for everybody model is better than Android's choose the right device for you model, Go figure.
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Well im pro choice, but in terms of developers from what I see they tend to agree. It's easier for them to make an app that just works for IOS 4 as compared to making an app thats compatible with Android 1.6, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3. Not to mention they have to take account for things like processor speed, etc. That's one of the main reasons they will pretty much always get the major apps before we do.

I prefer Android as an OS over IOS.. and ive had an iphone before but app wise thats one thing I was kinda spoiled about when I made the switch.
[EVO 4G General] Righteous Joe:
I agree with you, but with now more Android phones out there than OS Im sure devs will work a little harder to get into the bigger market, cause they aint ganna leave all that money out there for someone else to take thats for sure.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Google Goggles does this minus the augmented reality.

Been playing with it and it's pretty cool. Translations are kind of goofy but still okay. Overall a cool app to show off but Goggles is better for actual use.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
The app is free but each language pack is going to start at five bucks apiece, then ten bucks after the first of the year.

-Not worth the money-

Google translate does a fine job of translating words, has loads of languages, and it's free. So you don't get the geek factor of taking a pic to get a translation, but typing the characters will always beat OCR accuracy-wise, don't you guys think?

iOS outnumbers Android by something like 5:1. Even if you do only phones it's like 3:1, Android has marginally surpassed the iPhone in sales per month but the iPhone (not mention iTouch/iPad) has a massive install base.

[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalym:
I put the MIUI rom on my phone, but I'm not a fan of the contacts app, particularly I want to be able to have it not display certain contact groups like exchange and facebook. I have the stock HtcContacts.apk, but I'm not sure how to load it.

I attempted to install it, install fails

I put it under /system/app, reboot phone. Isn't recognized.

So what I'm asking is:

1. Can you modify the MIUI contacts app to not show exchange contacts

or

2. How would I re-install the stock contacts app?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karnovaran:
Can't help you with MIUI, but I can tell you that HTC's apps require HTC's framework.
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Hi, I'm pretty new to the android world, and I know dhd runs on sense, so what would running something like launcherpro do? Is sense removed or is it just running in the background? Oh and must I root? sorry if I sound so noob :X
[Desire HD General] hamdir:
launcher pro is excellent, the best and smoothest android launcher, but has an initial learning curve

It doesn't need root, you can install it and make it the default launcher then restart your phone, once you do the sense launcher will not be loaded neither will the widgets.

but the framework of sense like gallery and mail for example will still be there, which is really a good thing since they are a lot better than stock android apps
[Desire HD General] Rixsta:
No need to root and sense will still be there if you uninstall Launcher Pro..

You may want to look at my thread which is useful, it gives you custom icons and 100's of docks to use..

Its in the apps and themes forum..

I couldn't be without the scrollable dock now..
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Ooo! Thanks :) basically, I install launcher pro, restart phone, and get a 'blank' home page?

What does launcher pro replace then, the 7 home screens? Does the keyboard change?

Will running launcherpro mean more artery consumption? And what do you mean by dock? Oh and, apps, accoubts, calendars all that still remain the same.right? I'll try to search for your thread thanks!

I love this forum :) thanks so much for bringing this new android user so much advice xD much is appreciated :)
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Rixsta, could you mind posting the link to your thread? :) thank you!
[Desire HD General] ruchern:
LauncherPro is a great launcher.

Unlike Sense UI where it drains lots of battery power.
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
so if i just use it, without rooting, will battery life be drained very dramatically? sense UI doesnt suck battery in the background right?

Linked contacts all those will be gone i presume? if i use launcher pro
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
Okay, I just downloaded launcherpro free, any way for me to get more widgets,like a clock?
[Desire HD General] raecarter82:
Your best bet is to go to applications in settings then find htc sense. Click on it and select force stop, that will clear the defaults. Then press your home button and tick always choose this option and click on launcher pro. No reboot required
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
thanks~ now fiddling around with launcher pro, but is there any guide to make my notification bar like the stock one, which is white? or any tips on getting widgets?

I thought beautiful widgets had loads of widgets -_- i bought, and didnt know only is weather. too late to refund ~_~
[Desire HD General] Frostyeo:
oh does using launcher pro increase the battery usage? because is the htc sense UI some how running in the background?
[Desire HD General] deekod:
I love launcher pro, but I keep getting prompts to set my default home when I use widgetlocker
[Desire HD General] l0w:
Using launcher pro has approximately doubled my battery life. I was getting only 2 - 6 hours out of a charge before now 5 - 12. All the things that were burning juice like maps sync, freindstream just dont run constantly anymore.
[Desire HD General] faugusztin:
Notification bar - switch back to HTC Sense, find a theme which has a white top bar, switch to that theme in HTC Sense and then go back to your launcher. You will still get the status bar at the top and lock screen according to your HTC Sense theme settings.

Widgets - well, i think best would be for you to look at this forum :

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=527

and especially these two themes :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761517

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=476483

To your other questions - alternative launchers replace just your home, that means the main screens + application list. The rest still runs like if you had HTC Sense home.

Select your home in settings of WidgetLocker (Settings>Behavior>Select System Home or HomeHelper's Launcher, depends if you use HomeHelper or not).
[Droid X General] jaynyc22:
I installed App2sd because I was having widgets problems, I read somewhere that apps that need root access should be in internal storage aswell. Since then every time I connect my phone to usb it reboots then and half of my apps dont show up in the app list. Please help

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Diamond_dawg:
i think its pressing the Volume up and down when you power it on, you could try google tho
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Da Big Shoota:
You do it by holding down the volume up and down keys while the phone is off and plugged into your computer after the download screen comes up you can release the buttons , thats how I did it for odin after I bricked my phone. I also just tested it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] metlmangreg:
Everything I have read and works for me personally, hold both volume buttons then plug in the usb cable with odin already running on your computer. Also, you will need to know how to boot into recovery. If your phone has 3 button recovery, hold both volume buttons, then press and hold the power button while still holding the volume buttons. Hold all 3 buttons until you see the at&t screen the second time and release all the buttons and you will enter recovery mode.

Hi, we just changed or phone network at work to mobile and everyone got new htc desire z's \o/

Been having a problem with transfering of calls though, been searching a round a bit without luck and though Id try here.

At work we use the "add call" function on the HTC Desire Z to transfer calls internally, while talking to someone we go menu>add call>3 digit number followed by a * then press the call button and hang up.

Since everyone in the firm answers incoming calls we have a lot of internal transfers and we've gotten complaints that its too complicated to do transfers this way.

Anyone know of an app or something that can handle this easier? Would be great to have every employee on a hotkey for transfer or something.
