Yep =) except for the kernel link... the first kernel is a non-voodoo kernel, second is voodoo so you can choose which you'd like to run =)
[Fascinate General] akanightmare:
sorry for the late reply and th to those who helped me out :)

after flashing the Rom, is the Kernel optional to have?

when i press search from the home screen i want to be able to search youtube right away not go to dolphin>m.youtube>youtube but go straight to app. Am i doing something wrong or is this feature not available?
[Galaxy Tab General] agentdr8:
Youtube widget maybe? Direct searching from homescreen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] docflower:
i have searched to no avail. is there a flashable file for the wifi changes based on JPA modules? any battery/wifi improvements would be great.

if anyone could point me in the right direction id be thankful.

Cheers.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
Hey fellow gamers. With the recent updates to psx4droid game compatibility has improved quite a bit imo. There are also a few more tweaking options in the settings.

I was wondering if anyone here has played around with them to find the most compatible settings, primarily metal gear solid. Most other games I play work great without changing any settings. Also any tips you might have as far as best kernal/rom combo that works well for you. I'm currently on serendipity 2.0 with the speedmod kernal.

Thanks for any *constructive* comments! :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clyzm:
I've been playing around with PSX4Droid for quite a while now, and I have to say that while compatiblity has improved drastically with V2, speed has gone down significantly.

I'm running the latest Cognition Froyo build right now, and while FFVII, FFIX, Xenogears and Diablo all run with no glitches, they run extremely poorly.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
Thanks for the response, have you tried changing the precise cdrom or cycle multiplier to see if anything improves? Playing Resident Evil 3 right now myself and it does very well, possibly due to the pre rendered backgrounds... Just wishing metal gear wasn't so choppy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clyzm:
You know what, I just installed the latest Serendipity build today with Glitterball's OC/UV kernel, and FFIX runs absolutely perfectly now. It's actually pretty surreal. This has been the first time where I haven't had a single glitch.

The game will start with some audio lag, but it clears after a few minutes of gameplay. I would try Metal Gear for you, but I don't have an ISO handy. I'll convert my copy to an ISO when I have time and give it a shot.

edit: Yeah, I gave MGS a shot and it has quite a few audio problems, but gameplay is fairly playable. A lot more audio issues than most games I've tried though.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] vaiol123:
Wow, this sounds great. I'd love to play Gran Turismo on my phone!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
I've actually read that disabling the music can speed it up on older phones, had no effect for me though :( perhaps I will swap a few different kernals and see if there is a considerable difference.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clyzm:
Glitterball's kernel probably works so well for me just because it's an OC/UV kernel. My Captivate's processor runs at 1.2ghz with it on.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
Oh I have done my fair share of flashing lol usually twice a week if new stuff keeps coming out.

Anybody else having success with roms and or kernals?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Yep the latest version is running very nicely indeed although even OCed teken 3 is not quite there yet....not that you can really play it with onscreen controls (damn you Samsung for this Bluetooth) but as a performance measure.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
I second that. The new sony android phone with the psp slide out controller looks quite appealing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] slider2828:
The ipad has those suction cups or something that attach to the screen as joysticks.... I wonder if those wold work on the captivate......
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clyzm:
I think those would work on any capacitive touchscreen device, so long as the touch buttons on the emulator are the right size for the joystick.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] slider2828:
Yeah hopefully there are some for cheap..... I think it should work.

My psx playing ff7 is horrible with the latest updates... 1.0.8 was the best for me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
Ive had so many apps that suck so bad, they are so buggy and barely work. Such as Opentable, podcast, and several others. Makes me weary to even purchase full apps even though you can try them. Most apps available suck anyways.

I need:

Best buy app

Chipotle app

Panera bread app

Good podcast app

Good radio app

Good turn by turn navigation app

Opentable that actually works

and im sure there are several apps that I would like to use but not yet available, marketplace is full of bull crap. lets get some stuff people will actually use on a daily basis.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
This whole market place concept is a bust.. just because it worked for iphone dosent necessarily mean it will work for wp7. They said marketing stuff like 'oh we have 6000 applications in marketplace!' Reality is its not even worth except for more than 1-2 of them to even download and waste time on.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wspaw:
Zune is great for podcasts. What do you want a podcast app to do? The Maps app has great TBT nav - no voice, though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
I'm going to guess you don't like the radio that's already in there.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sergioiacobucci:
This is the kind of thing that may suck on WP7 phones for a little while...but i expected that didnt you?

The iphone apps were all full of crap when they first came out....it took time for people to get used to making them, I think the promising thing is that big companies are starting to bother making apps, so it shows people are getting serious.

I read it in an article that MS is a software company and if theres anyone who is going to be able to make it work at this sort of 'late entry' into the market its them.

I have at least 12 APPS I really like and that I use all the time :)

I think we are just guna have to wait for a bit
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
The marketplace idea is not a bust.

Developers who want to earn money selling their apps and games have a better chance when all the customers are funneled to one place, as opposed to having to search obscure sites, to find their product.

At that point, it's up to the developer to try to make a compelling enough product for the customer to think it's worth purchasing.

For the customer, they could go to one place to look for anything that is currently available for their phone. They can try out any application without risk, and if they feel that the product is worthy, they can purchase it easily. The rules for purchasing each app/game will be universal. They don't have to go through different payment processes with different companies.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Really? So which one or two out of the following do you feel is worth downloading?

Twitter

Facebook

Youtube

Microsoft Tag Reader

Adobe Reader

Shazam

IGN

IMDb

eBay

Flixter

These are just some of the apps I couldn't live without - however, if you manage to witter it down to 1 or 2 I'll post an updated list of all my "important" apps. Although, IMO, 99% of people would have maxed their 2 apps from the top 5 in the list above.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
This and more and more and more.

OP and hater beneath him, you're just being a little narrow minded tbh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
given that A LOT of the applications are data based, how is your network coverage? is it quite patchy? if so, this would explain why a lot of applications appear very bad constantly not responding/loading data.

as for the market place, i think it's a bit of a good and bad thing. the iPhone model is good for itself, but WP can't copy it completely because of the differences it has. for example, WP offers in app trial mode. this needs to be made more promonent and needs to encourage the end user that these apps work as a trial. with this, then more people who list their apps as a paid app would get better usage as people don't instantly think they have to pay anything to use it.

i personally don't buy any app unless i get a bit of a play with the app first. but the problem is, i have to go to each app to see if it has trial available. the market place needs to adjust to this variable in greater force because it's actually what makes the WP market place a great prospect and cancels out the duplicates which you see in the iOS market place (the free and paid version of apps).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Other than Adobe Reader all other software you mentioned are useless to me. I am a smartphone user, not an Iphone user.
[Windows Phone 7 General] zukа:
Oookayyy... so what do you want then?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Purple11:
Better: Calendar, Appointments, Time Management, Alarm, Wallet, Book Keeping, Expense Records, Maps, Navigation, SMS/Mail Organizing, Dialer, Auto-Call Record, Call Management, Data Management etc etc you should get an idea ..
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Most of which is part of the core OS - now if all you want are better implementations of the above, feel free to discuss what, specifically, needs fixing in the core experience.

If you ask me, the calendar, appointments, time management, alarms and email are all working fine out of the box - sure, we need better exchange support (server search etc), but it does what it's supposed to for now.

As for Book Keeping / Expense Records (why are you listing both?) - there are apps for this.

Bing Maps is included out of the box. Navigation may be poor, but there are apps for this that help somewhat.

In any case - if you need enterprise features like what you've listed above you're really not part of the target audience for WP7 at the moment. Something which has been very clear ever since the February unveiling of WP7 last year.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 937dytboi:
See we are just two different people, KI dont have a twitter or Facebook account. So thats useless to me, Shazam I wont really use. But everything on your list is fine. My problem is that some apps that ive downloaded seem not to work like advertised and they crap out by running slow or not working at all. But I think im jumping the gun here, I just think we should have a better marketplace selection but I have to realize that the marketplace has just really opened to be honest. Just felt I needed to gripe about my experience
[Windows Phone 7 General] stringray:
What's also a problem (for now) is that development for Windows Phone is so similar to developing for regular Windows environments: same tools, same programming languages, etc. A lot of "normal" Windows / .NET developers are early adopters of the platform and are having their go at developing a Windows Phone app. Unfortunately they don't always consider the limitations that the platforms has. They'll use a lot of heavy animation, request huge amounts of data, use imagery not optimized for mobile use. Thus: crappy apps.

I think over time this will all settle and the apps will become better.

That said, Microsoft does need to increase the overall app performance on the phone. There's a noticable difference between the built-in (native) apps and the managed apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
this is blatantly false. First of all unless you're doing game programming you can only make Silverlight apps. Most regular windows applications do not use silverlight! You would think the web designers who use that stuff can create better apps, guess not.

Secondly the reason for crappy apps is entirely microsoft's fault. To get your app published, you need to pay 99$ a year for a developers license and get your identity verified by some thirdparty. After that when you submit an app, it is supposed to get reviewed by a team at microsoft to verify that your app meets many of the app guideliness set (like not crashing!).

I remember going to Tech Days (microsoft developer conference) and hearing them bragging about how their app reviews ensured that only quality apps were released but lately the amount of **** apps that have been appearing on the app marketplace makes me think they are just auto approving anything without even checking to see if it works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] :
Zero windows applications use Silverlight. WPF maybe, but Silverlight is a web-only subset. What stringray actually said was:

Which is correct. Visual Studio is the primary development tool for desktop and C# is very popular development language for desktop.

The rest of what you said is probably true. But you can never test an app and say that it will never crash. Do you remember WM6.5 when you downloaded an app to find it didn't even launch on your device? Well at least it's filtering out all that crap
[Windows Phone 7 General] Zedox:
Silverlight is not only for web development. I believe since Silverlight 3.0 you can use them as desktop applications as well.

How is the way you pay and get verified the reason why the apps are MS' fault?

Yea, they check them but rarely have I seen an app crash (actually I haven't yet but I'm not going to state that all of them have).
[Windows Phone 7 General] neoxphuse:
I just want to quickly point something to the ones you have hated apps.

Why don't you give feedback to developers? I have given serveral and emailed several feedback and have gotten a response each time. And each time, they take my feedback into consideration and either plan to implement them in the future.

As the end-user don't we want the best product? To get the best, we have to critique and help evolve the marketplace/apps. Only this way do developers know how to improve and what needs to be improved.

Otherwise they believe everything is dandy.
[Windows Phone 7 General] stringray:
Well, Silverlight development does resemble WPF programming a lot (afterall, it is a subset of WPF). And we've been doing WPF programming for years now, haven't we? Actually, if you stick to simply placing controls on a page and adding event code it resembles WinForms very much. And that last thing is what I see happening a lot. Many developers create some spaghetti app, which totally messes up tombstoning or page navigation.

Once developers get more comfortable with Windows Phone (Silverlight) programming, they'll see that things like the MVVM pattern, async processing , etc. actually do make sense and can be very helpful. And that's when the good apps are starting to get made.

In general I think they do a really good job. Of course they had to learn in the beginning and a lot of faults were made. But the test department is getting better and better. The reports you get when an app fails certification are often very detailed.

Don't forget they check apps against the Guidelines. I agree there are a lot of stupid apps (Peace Sign app, anyone?). But those apps do follow the Guidelines.

Crashes are hard to predict and it's not that easy to test for them. Personally, I haven't experienced much app crashing on my device. In fact, I've seen more apps crash on my iOS devices than on my WP7.

Microsoft has said they collect crash dumps from all apps on the phone (at least, if you've opted in for that). I hope that someday they'll give us developers access to those dumps, so we can do post-mortem analysis of our app's crashes.

Totally disagree. The apps may be not to your liking, but most of them do work according to the Guidelines. And did you give feedback to the developers of those apps? They often actually listen!
[Windows Phone 7 General] CyK1:

[Windows Phone 7 General] tbk21:
I'm guessing you are living in a area with bad reception. Sometimes I can't even open some apps if I'm on GPRS (Livesports24 3D) But on wifi or 3G it is very smooth.

First my mobile internet speed was 384kb but since I upgraded to 3,6 Mbps apps that use data are very smooth.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boogerboy72:
i checked with the search function, and got no results. Are there any big differences in roms? right now ive got it narrowed down to gingerbread, CM6.1 and the incredibly Re-engineerd one.

what exactly do i look for in a rom? What are the advantages over the stock one?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Alright. Gingerbread/CM6.1 are for if you like AOSP ROMs (google stock, no Sense). Incredibly Reengineered is essentially an insanely optimized stock HTC ROM (Sense). However, don't stop there! The Desire Z ROMs have some excellent features, like hibernating for 3-second boot and excellent themes, and Evo framework ROMs are, in general, insanely stable. MIUI is an AOSP ROM that kind of mimics the iPhone UI while still retaining Android, and Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo is an Evo framework ROM that (for me at least) gives INSANE battery life, even on the puny stock battery (down to 66% after 9 hours of heavy use yesterday). I advise you take another look through the ROMs, because if you read deeper into features of some of them, it might shake up your whole list.

Feel free to reply/PM me about this anytime
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setexascustoms:
Yeah, there're some pretty big differences. Some with Sense, some based on Sense but with it removed, and AOSP based ROMs completely Senseless :D. Just read throught the OPs for the ROMs you're interested in, they usually have screenshots and a list of features and issues. Other than that, I'd suggest you backup with nandroid, read the instructions and flash away. You won't really know what you like until you've tried them for yourself.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
God yes. Nandroid. THE killer app for any rooted Android user lol

ALWAYS use nandroid. If there's not enough SDcard space to make a nandroid backup, make room. You'll thank us for that one

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
I just rooted my phone mostly for the WiFi but it's doing something a little strange now. Whenever I turn on the Wireless Tether app it shows multiple access points coming from my phone, 5 to be exact. Is there something I'm missing, a way to clear the unwanted names?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
Have a screenshot?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
Yep, here's what my wireless connections pop up as when I turn on the "Wireless Tether" app.

Note: The Top "Walker" is my home network and the rest are all generated by the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenpachiechan:
Try reseeting the app and then try activating wpa.Tht way only authorized users can access ur wifi
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
I've done that but I still have 5 seperate access points being sent out from my phone. I can't seem to change any of the setting for 4 of them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
anyone have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrascal:
same here

You are not alone.

I used os monitor to see 5 occurrences of internet active - sometimes more.

They won't kill and effect memory terribly. Sometimes a reboot is required, however, the internet occurences are still there. The reboot only clears some memory to allow evo to run fast again.

I have no idea how to fix.

By the way, what app did you use to see those occurances. I'd like to check it out.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
Sorry for the confusion that is actually a screen shot of my desktop to show multiple access points being listed. I wish there was an app that looked like that to show available wifi.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpz1100:
You get non of those (in your screen shot) when your phone is off?

It's a wildcard, but possible your neighbors have evo's too and running the tether software...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanWalker:
Negative, I can visibly watch them pop up when I turn the tether on and they go away as soon as i turn it off. It also seemed that when I tried to rename one instead of renaming one of them, it would make another access point. Very peculiar.

FWIW...I switched to CM6 and it's all cleared up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
Yea I was gonna say, that's your computer if you change the name and your computer keeps the old ones and adds the new one. My laptop does that too but I can remove them individually.
[Venue Pro General] Desynthesis:
I don't want to clutter the forum with unnecessary messages, but those who have gotten their replacements--what was the situation with that? Were you sent new models, or refurbished ones? (assuming it was possible to tell).

I've got a DVP that's surprisingly crash-free (once in a week of regular use), but wireless sync doesn't work, and I'm apparently out of luck with Tech Support. If I'm going to get a refurbished replacement, I think I might be better off going for a refund again.
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
I never got my replacement so I can't say if it would have been refurbished or not, however I can say that if you decide to return yours, the process was pretty easy. Just call Dell Mobility (800 308 3355) and tell them you want to return your phone. If you had an exchange already scheduled (like I did), cancel the exchange first.

I returned mine 21 days after the day I received it. Apparently Dell starts that counter either when the device ships or when you order it, but it didn't cause me any problem.

It does seem as if Dell is shipping out new orders as they come in now, so your best bet to ensure you get a brand new device may be to just return and reorder. My exchange was in process for 20 days (received with a scratch on the screen) with no end in sight before I just gave up.
[Venue Pro General] orochidp:
Dell sent me a refurb with my original order a week ago, so I don't think they'll be sending out NEW phones any time soon.
[Venue Pro General] patrickk:
Wait, they sent you a refurb phone in fulfillment of your original order? Are they allowed to do that?? I didn't think a company was allowed to send you a refurb product without telling you at the time of purchase.

How could you tell it was refurbished?
[Venue Pro General] orochidp:
There was someone else's data on the phone, there was no initial setup, there were loose screws, and liquid damage to the screen.

Sold as new, no markings on the device or box marking it as refurbished.
