Any love from WP8?

Has any of this changed with WP8? I'm on WP8, and come from MortPlayer on Android which is kind of the Golden standard for playing audio books. I'd love.. just LOVE to put my money where my mouth is if your app can support reading albums straight from the storage and save bookmarks pe album/audiobook! ;)

If you need help testing stuff on WP8 - I'm game!

hey everyone

This has been a long time coming. Thanks to the unshakable versatility of the HTC HD2 (what other phone runs Windows Mobile, Android, MeeGo, Windows 95, and Ubuntu?) we finally have a working port of Windows Phone 7. As you will see, the port works quite well: everything works

hd2 is the coolest phone on earth

Phone model X10a

Firmware version 2.1.1

baseband 2.0.46

Okay so I have tried to download the custom rom Eminence 2.1, and I have followed everystep that they have, now I keep running into a problem when I restore my phone from the xrecovery mismatch. There was a post telling me what someone did to fix that, and I have followed those methods with no success. Am I missing something, is there anyone who can help me?

Hello

So recently Ive been wondering if its worth to install the Gingerbread over the 2.2 Defrost mod, I cant say im unhappy with it, cuz its awesome but just bored recently and maybe gingerbread runs even smoother and battery is better and has some more functions?

thinking about oxygen rom or villain rom

what do you guys think? also will all the apps work on the gingerbread? cuz heard something like launcher pro doesnt work on gingerbread?

thanks
[Desire General] Kalavere:
I am using LauncherPro to write this, all apps work fine. Nandroid and try it out if you don't like it restore Froyo, not that there is anything to dislike.
[Desire General] cr1960:
Launcher Pro works great on Redux too.

I agree with @Kalavere - many of the Gingerbread ROMs are reliable enough for everyday use - give a couple a run and see whether you like it or not. You probably won't go back.
[Desire General] cez10:
thanks guys for the info, could you just tell me of some visible advantages over froyo? well apart from the different graphics, like any new features etc etc?

just looked at some reviews and dont really see a point of upgrading to gingerbread unless theres some improvements on smoothness, and battery life?
[Desire General] Kalavere:
Just flash and see, there are screen on and off visualizations, better battery graph logging, new RAM, internal and external memory graphs. And a few other features and bits and bobs.

On oxygen v2 rc5 battery lasted longer than now on latest miui (froyo). It wasn't pronounced that much on full load, but with screen turned off, i could get to first night with 80%. On miui, at best, 40-50%.

All the options were the same, and same apps were installed.

I went back to miui because on every other Tom i missed something.

On oxygen v2 rc5 3d didn't work, but that wasn't such a deal breaker for me.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsyi84:
I loved having the HD2 due to the ability for me to keep both WinMo and Android. My g/f chose to keep her HD2 with dual boot over getting a G2 simply because there are a handful of apps/games that are available on WinMo and oddly not available on Android that made it worth keeping WinMo around. I particularly was in favor of WinMo as I came off a decade long streak of WinMo PDA's. I liked the standalone(g/f doesn't have data plan) GPS progs available on WinMo such as igo8, tom tom, etc on WinMo over anything that was available on Android i.e. Mapdroyd.

Therefore, I still think WinMo is not "completely" dead....yet.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Super iPhone competitive meaning a closed OS and little customization options? Windows Phone 7 has some cool aspects. But in its current state, the OS is good for casual users, less good for power users.

Windows Phone 7 is not relevant to this discussion, anyway. Closed source means that chances of it getting ported to the Vision are probably zero.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landroid:
any idea how this would work? i am able to write small programs in jva but not more than that!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technomancer:
It would have to be a service probably with small JNI module.

Let it sleep for button light timeout-1 seconds, and then check state of lcd brightness and if it is nonzero, set button brightness to 255. repeat forever.

There is also define KEY_LED_CONTROL in the kernel in drivers/input/touchscreen/qt602240.c. So I think it should have all worked in the kernel but somehow it doesn't. Maybe it could be possible to fix it all in the kernel.

PS. I have analyzed the code in the kernel. All it does is to handle /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness so it is up to user-space to turn the buttons on and off.

Interestingly, there is some unused code that suggest it should be possible to turn the 4 leds on/off individually but there is no user space inteface for that and the init code sets them to lowest brightness.

There is a chance that these lights are controlled by the code in bootloader, because when i flashed 1000l firmware , it almost bricked my tab, there was nothing on the screen, not even the trinagle, but i think i saw these lights come on, i could be wrong though.
[Windows Phone 7 General] simbadogg:
I've ran into this a couple times now, but i've yet to find any type of method that works other than going to the browser and visiting bing/google.com...

But is there anyway to search for images when you're using the search button and bing search on the phone. when using the search button on the phone for say "will ferrell janet reno" because i want to see pictures of the skits from saturday night live, i only get the options for web, local, and news. is there a faster way of searching for images other than going to internet explorer or a third party app?
[Windows Phone 7 General] samrozzi:
I am also wondering this? I know they have a google search app, but I feel like the bing built in search should include image results
[Windows Phone 7 General] arturobandini:
There are third party apps that can do the job. But you have to pay.

But it's a shame that Bing does not even include such a basic feature.

So I'm using the Google Search app, which is anyway better and includes images search.

I really wonder how MS expect to compete with Google with their crappy Bing service. It's maybe ok in the US, but here it's unusable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jaminroe:
Yeah this has been pissing my off recently. I've tried even the most basic searches like, "dog" or "mcdonald's" and I get no results in the built in image search. WTF?! :confused: If I use a third party app like Bing Image Search ( http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/a7819f29-d887-e011-986b-78e7d1fa76f8 ) then I get results as expected...
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
I just searched 'dog' and got results on the images page.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shardnet:
Odd. I get plenty of images even for more obscure terms, let alone stuff like dog.

Keep in mind Bing is very dependant on your localisation. When I ran the phone in czech, the search button took me to the desktop version of bing. Switching to English - UK gives me the normal phone version of bing that works completely fine.

Just did a search for dog as well - no problems.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jaminroe:
Well to be more clear I'm using the built in search. So if you press the search button on your phone.

But guess what? Its working now. I restarted my phone after doing a backup using WP7 Easy Backup Tool. Maybe the reset fixed it. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Yah there's an odd bug with Bing image search on the phone. I reverted to a previous backup and get "no images" for most everything now. Was going to reset the phone completely but my Lumia 900 will be here in two days :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] lamborg:
enter search term, search and switch to images instead of web, if thats what you are looking for.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Thats exactly what I do, and no images are shown. Its odd. It doesn't always happen, but it happens quite a bit. And on simple terms (like say "dog")
[Windows Phone 7 General] anseio:
Sometimes search is down.
[Windows Phone 7 General] shardnet:
Could really be an issue with your phone localisation somewhere which messes up bing from time to time. Or you're just unlucky and keep getting sent to a really bad server. :P

1.>> download CF root for your firmware like written on these page and flash it with odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788108

2.>> after that like in Darkyy's instructions download ClockWorkMod Recovery from here http://www.multiupload.com/5CUIK88JM0

and just copy it to your sdcard when connected to pc as mass storage

3.>> final step you download Darkyy's rom which you like and also put it somewhere on you sdcard and reboot phone. when you see samsung GT-i9000 screen press and hold Volume UP + Home button + Power button and hold it till your Sasmung GT-i9000 screen doesn't disappear and reappear then you can release buttons

re start phone

once done download darkys rom

reboot to download mode (should now have 2e)

flash zip

choose zip

find darkys

click yes instal darkys

I think I'm not the only one who use java apps on the phone. But accessing these apps is not user friendly. As we can see with Palringo, it is possible to start java apps by an icon instead of scrolling throuh all java apps. Can we somehow implement this for all (or for selected) java apps not just the IM? This would greatly increase the usability.

Any ideas?

Good Question...

T-Mobile Branding uses also thier JAVA Midlet Navi in the menu and 1,2 other things...

Maybe step 1 would be. If we can replace Palringo with other Midlet. :D

As it is in Hidden Games folder...

hey Guys! I'am from Poland and on polish forum we are trying to add java icons in menu too... My idea was to "tell" the Dolphin browser to "run" some java application. It is simple hack to do this: You have to add bookmark in Dolphin, call it, write the address to *.jar file (in my guide : file:///Mount/Mmc/Others/Opera/opera.jar) and it's IMPORTANT: activate third option, it's adding bookmark to main menu. But this idea is very imperfect - after clicking on main menu icon, you must install this midlet all the time :( This is because "hack" tells the browser to run NOT the application, but INSTALL file (*.jar). That's why You have to install Opera always after clicking on it. At this time we can't solve this otherwise. I give You link bo polish "bada-world" forum. At first post, there's my quick guide. Of course, you have to login, to see it. Probably You have to use Google Translator, or if someone of You knows Polish perfectly, it would be so nice :)

If you want to use java on the desktop or the menu, it's not possible.

On the desktop you can just add flash files (and widgets).

On the menu, you can only add applis icons.

What you can do it's add the link of games and other on the main desktop to have a quick acces.

After you can add java applications.

You need to modify KJxDisplayOrder.ini file.

Doodlejump is to show that we can add java apps on game and more, in a custom firmware.
