But assuming you don't know what adb is:

1) place on SD Card

2) open Terminal EMulator

3) type "su"

4) hit allow if a pop-up appears

5) type "cp /sdcard/bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] danthepan124:
6) reboot phone
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] sssimo96:
Thera are many different boot animations. Just search the market for "BOOT ANIMATION"
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] Tylym:
Thanks guys! :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] swee08315:
Yeah, well this one isn't on the market. If you want to set it as your boot animation you're going to have to do it the old-fashioned way.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] askrulous:
I tried this method of install, but all I get is "read-only file system" - is there a way round this as I'm not good with fastboot methods!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Themes and Wallpapers] swee08315:
This isn't fastboot, it's adb.

you can try to type "mount" into the terminal emulator, it will show a list of options.

find "system" and type whatever comes after it with a "mount"

It should end up being something like:

su mount /system on /dev/blaablaa/ type yaffs2 -ro

something like that, I really don't remeber, I never had a mytouch, but I assume it's the same except for maybe if you have a 32b chipset.

I have a Htc G2 now.

after that you can type the above post into your terminal and if it mounted correctly it should work.

[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
So here we are - Windows Phone 7 has been around for a (short) while now, and the amount of apps has grown to a significant level. Obviously the marketplace isn't as extensive as on iOS or Android just yet, but we're getting there.

Now what I'm wondering is, what do you think about the current state of the market?

Do you think there are enough free apps? Or aren't they that important, because of the trials available?

And do you think that the general quality of the apps is higher than on other platforms, or not? And so on.

I'm really interested in your experiences so far, and I think many others are too.

So please, describe how you feel about the apps on this new platform!
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
I'm personally very satisfied based on what's available to the developers. It would be unfair to judge them based on factors that are out of their control... But as far as what the API allows, I'm pleased, especially in the games department. I would like better alarm applications and more live tiles, but all of that will come in due time. The trial ability is the best part of the whole marketplace experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] chong112193:
I don't like the feel of the Market place. I went from and HD2 to an HD7. I use the phone for both work and play. I do a lot of both. As far as apps for work it is really amazing. What ever it is i want to do i can find an app that works well and improve my productivity. As far as apps for play not so much. the I.M. software is weak. I do love the Pro Football Weekly app. I definitely feel there is a lot of room for improvement.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Anthonok:
Ive foud the wp7 market to be much better than the android market but obviously not up to par with iOS. There is of course a bunch of garbage in all 3 but i dont feel that wp7 has as much useless crap as android. I want to say i have no problem with android or iOS on a whole. Just stating my opinion on the markets.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jmerrey:
as of right now I'd say the market is a mess, but I fully expect it to get better:

1. search is absurd: if I search for an app, I also get a list of songs, playlists, etc; rumored to be fixed in first update

2. live tile inconsistency: some work all the time, so won't work at all, some stop working for weeks; I assume this is a developer-driven problem and will get better over time, though i'm a bit concerned with the 15 live tile limit, as i'm already over the limit ;)

3. trials: very happy with this feature, I have tried and purchased many apps I never would have looked at if they were 1.99 with no trial

4. quality: hit and miss, as with android and iOS markets; I suspect the developers are a bit hamstrung with some of the limitations of wp7 at the moment

5. stability: app store crashes, lockups, etc are a bit frustrating, but again I assume that will be fixed in an upcoming update

(keep in mind, I'm not a dev, these are the views of a consumer)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
I like what is available now. Most of the apps I tried had very good quality with a very nice use of the Metro UI.

I hate that some apps are called "X for free", you know straightaway these are ports from another OS. Just give your app a damn name and put it in the Free section :mad:.

I also hate apps that are optimised for the US and don't work or crash constantly in Europe.

Overall it's progressing well, I'm hoping for quick must have apps like Amazon, Paypal, Live Messenger (Come one Microsoft, the iPhone has the best Messenger app around and you made it!) or TV Guide.

Also waiting for must have games we all know but with Live enabled (Words with Friends, Angry Birds, Cut the rope, Game devs story...).

By the summer it should be an important market, the updates just need to be up to par.
[Windows Phone 7 General] pillsburydoughman:
I think it sucks and it's terrible. The browser is very slow and either crashes, freezes or worse ends up rebooting the phone after a while. The browsing experience is the worst, I hardly browse anymore now.. because most of the time I end up waiting and waiting until I just leave before it crashes or locks up.

As far as applications, there still aren't any major hitters on the market yet apart from games, no decent instant messaging app really hurts, very few productivity apps compared to the blackberry and 90% of the time the new apps are a complete waste of time (made worse by the horrible market place browser).

There are some good apps there though but again the browser needs a update very badly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Peew971:
There's no point having more vocal opinions about the Marketplace app, everyone knows it's broken, Microsoft included. We're just waiting for an update.

I only use the Zune client and Bing Visual Search to browse the apps now, I don't see why I would use the phone app when I know it's broken.

The OP is asking about the apps and games themselves and that's what we should comment on really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kroketboer:
I think its just decent:) Could be better, but what can u expect from 1.0!?

Im satisfied many bugs are getting fixed, and developers are busy. Would be more satisfied if MS made an offer on RIM, soo WP7 would get more media-attention/techinfo etc and grows bigger. More users --> More attractive for Developers. But Microsoft will have their reasons :rolleyes:

Like now Appaloosa is cancelled because of the high cost vs expected return. If WP7 was bigger, developers can invest more because of a higher expected return. Would be awesome :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 General] ~~Tito~~:
EDIT: Thread reopened and will be moved to the appropriate section.

(It is nice to see someone pay attention and ask politely.)

[Windows Phone 7 General] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
Thanks, that is what interests me most.

I'm slightly surprised by the spread in positive and negative replies (and votes in the poll). It's roughly 50/50, with a slight advantage to the positive experiences.

This surprises me so much because the apps I've seen trough blogs like PocketNow, Engadget, Gizmodo and WMPoweruser looked pretty awesome, and I could only think of one thing I was missing: a mobile app called 'Reisplanner Xtra' for the trains in the Netherlands (currently available on WM, Android and iOS). This is a very specific app only useful to Dutch users, so I kinda blindly expected that most people could find what they need.

Also I'm somewhat shocked that there is no good Live Messenger app available on their own platform. Luckily, this is something we can be sure of that it's bound to improve. Maybe they're waiting for the right API's to be released :cool:

Jokes aside, which apps would you like to see more? I see people mentioning IM applications (among others) not only in this thread - but what else do you think is missing?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Reflexx1:
I said that I'm satisfied but it's nothing special.

Why I'm satisfied:

rapid growth - the selection is great considering how long it's existed

decent quality apps - overall, the apps look decent. I guess the standardized design language has made it easy

big name apps - a lot of the big names are on board already

XBOX LIVE is actually pretty cool. Even though you can't play in real time vs XBOX friends yet.

Why it's not special... yet:

Search is still messy - It needs search filters. Fortunately, it's one of the things being fixed in the first update.

app store size - while a somewhat unfair criticism, it still lacks much of a selection of high quality apps. But at this rate of growth, that criticism will go away in no time.

Still a few bugs - unable to update some apps in Trial mode. crashing back to main screen. etc..
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
I am satisfied for the most part and although it is not up to level with iOS (obviously, no operating system is up to iOS par and I don't expect that to change), the quality of the apps is really good. The search can be a little over the place, but I like how you can trial some apps. I have probably downloaded more apps on WP7 than Android.

In Germany they are doing pretty much marketing. MS is touring through many universities presenting shows of a known comedian and of course advertising wp7 really big.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Schutzbugel:
Captivate JF6 to JH7 to JI6, 2.2 Leaked. The internal GPS is marginally better but is terribly weak on reception. ie Not usable.

My phone is a 1007 and rooted. The internal gps is junk.

My question is getting my beautifully working BT external receiver (Delorme BT-20 ) on(JH7) to work now with the JI6 quasi Froyo. It worked one time only. Internal gps turned off and mock locations checked..... Note, it all worked beautifully "prior to the ROM upgrade" using Navigation or Maps.

I don't want to "roll-back", (tether needs) so Froyo is desirable. "Blue Tooth GPS Mouse" utilized ......or "Blue Tooth GPS Provider"

Anybody have an idea on "what next"?!

TIA!

[Nook Color General] aludal:
Sure, it's awesome. Not every device catches attention of the best gurus of Cyanogen, and CM7 on NC within a striking distance (boots and runs already) is beyond. In my article http://fineoils.blogspot.com/2011/01/nookcolor-on-its-road-to-android-23.html dated Jan 3 I never hoped it will happen so soon.

Hopefully, this NC CM7 port will bring all the power of VOME engine into video playing, less buggy Adobe Flash 10.x with full HW acceleration, HD YouTube, better 2D/3D HW accelerated drivers. Then, only RIM BB PlayBook can beat it.
[Nook Color General] x-ravin:
CM on my Nook?? If this thing gets any better I may explode lol. It has almost replaced everything I take to class. Once I get a good stylus for it, then I don't need anything else :)
[Nook Color General] tunwear:

@above poster:

I think gingerbread will simply make the nookcolor speed up a bit...

Useful for games.
[Nook Color General] paleh0rse:
CM7 is based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), rather than our current 2.1 (autonooter) and 2.2 (nookie froyo) options.

CM itself also includes hundreds of kernel tweaks and customization options that dramatically improve just about every aspect of Android.

[Nook Color General] painter_:
I hope they bake in some sort of button bar at the bottom of the screen. With the lack of phyical buttons the bar along the bottom is nice for the menu and back button.
[Nook Color General] huCarlisle1:
Did you know that you can also slide your finger from right to left across the notification bar at the bottom to function as a back button? This is true even of a stock NOOKcolor.
[Nook Color General] starkruzr:
I disagree. The Playbook will be more expensive and depend on a Blackberry for much of its email/calendar access, while the NC under CM7 will have native Exchange access. That is clutch and a must-have for me.

I suspect the nootered community will have a version of 2.3 Gingerbread long before stock users get a version of 2.2 Froyo going. I have serious doubts that 2.2 is ever going to come to the stock NC.
[Nook Color General] nicbennett:
I also installed the latest CM7 build on my Moto droid, and having it on my NC would be INCREDIBLE. Not only do we get all the little tweaks CM gives us, but Gingerbread looks like it brings quite a bit to the table by itself. see HERE for major changes in 2.3.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
bad thing is that the notification bar isn't there on all apps.
[Nook Color General] bartimeus:
If you go to the market and download Button Savior it gives you access to buttons in all apps. It is very nice and much better than Soft Keys imo.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
Soft Keys is better, actually, when configured right. Change it so Run as Service is unchecked, and change the Nook button to launch SoftKeys. When I'm at a place where I need a menu or a Back option, just a quick push of the Nook button and I not only get a back and a menu button, but a task switcher, as well. Very handy.
[Nook Color General] thereddog:
I'm new to Android, what do you mean by task switcher and how to get to it using Soft Keys?
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
Comes with it. When you hit the Nook button, SoftKeys will pop up with its menu. At the top of the screen will be icons for all the apps you have open at the time. You can then just push your finger on whichever you want - including your preferred Launcher, or Home screen. For me, that's Zeam. So its like interuppting going straight to the Home screen from the Nook button, and giving you an option to go to another open app - sort of like Alt-Tab on your Windows machine.

See this page for correctly setting up SoftKeys. I preferred Button Saviour until I did this: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/nook/4810-soft-keys-vs-button-savior.html
[Nook Color General] aludal:
Sure, the RIM BB PB will be more expensive. The question is, how much more? If a WiFi-only unlocked version will be <$300...350, then just see CM7 coming to it. OMAP4430 proc is simply in a higher leaugue than our OMAP3621. If the price will be higher than that, sure I myself pass for for Xoom, or LG 7" tablet.

However, I don't like nVidia/Tegra2 stance of not implementing native NEON framework. Sure, Android is nowhere close to mature OS capable of multithreaded/SMP work.

This is precisely why QNX on Playbook is interesting. Hopefully next Playbook will be based on OMAP4440, a dual core beast rumored to beat Tegra2 at every task.

As for NC selling for mere $249 I'm sure a non-branded pure Android 2.2 copy of the same Inventec(?) hardware will be selling here at $320...$350.

Sure it's all relative.

Cyanogen coming to Nook Color is great for several reasons. Cyanogen mod is probably the most well known and respected mod out there. Just the fact that it will be released for the nook will bring many users out of the woodworks to go pick up a nook. This all will draw more developers to tweak the nook and get the most out of it.

Who knows, maybe someday, somebody will port Honeycomb to the Nook as well.

I know that the Nook Color shares the same type of processor as a Droid X (at least I read that on XDA somewhere). It would be great to see Liberty ROM on the Nook!

Liberty ROM is the first ROM to blow my mind since MIUI. Just lightning fast and the level of easily accesible customizations via the Liberty Toolbox is just stunning.

One can only dream.

It was pure childlike; "I'm taking my ball and going home." not sure why it all happened, but I am very sure there are plenty of us with an amazing phone, the GalaxyS. line, that are being punished for no fault of our own. ...and after we donated several times.
