It is possible port windows phone 7 or another system to a Device with native droid?! if not...why?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Goatmaster:
I guess you are asking if it is possible to port WP7 to a Motorola Droid. If so there is no point to doing it and there are no drivers.

at present the closest you can get is using launchers, but it's no where near the same experience as most of the launchers are still quite buggy.

Hi there,

I saw in the market a free twitter app from twitter inc. But I can't download It. Is It possible people with a HD2 or a HD7 download this app and make a .xap from It for all to share?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] motorboy-johnny:
I can download anything from the market because I changed my settings of the windows live ID.

Change your Live ID (hotmail settings) to "Verenigde Staten" and pick a random state.

Than you can download all the apps. Hopefully this will solve the problem.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] 1337shark:
where to change ?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] domenukk:
Won't work without live id.

however there is a windows phone marketplace for windows pc around.

try it. you can download any free app without live id there. ;)
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] onslaught86:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Fabian1985:

I have done some research here and on Google on a really odd problem...

My wife has a NC I updated to 1.0.1 then rooted. About a week later on her way to work it restarted and unupdated (?) back to 1.0.0... So I thought it was a fluke, root was gone but most things still worked, not Youtube or market but other apps I installed while / did.

Now twice, 2 days in a row I have checked out the device, I installed Clockwork, did a backup and the next morning on the way to work (She works in manhattan, takes the train in) it is bootlooped "touch the future of reading" so last nite I ran the clockwork restore and it was fine then again this morning... same thing stuck in a boot loop.

As happy as I am about her being able to restore it on her own...it takes a while and shes at work by the time its done! and the maddening part is that I booted it multiple times the nite before in both cases...

What could be causing this? Things I haven't tried yet?

I checked the SD to make sure there weren't any update.zips or similar,

I have not formatted the SD, that I will do tonight.

I read the whole thread regarding Clockwork I didn't see anything I might have messed up...Does this have to do with uSD boot priority and maybe I have a hidden file on the SD?

And I have really searched for something similar, people have bootloops but not like mine that I can see.

Sorry for being long here but this is frustrating, I'm not all that new at this I've been voiding my warranties for a long time and this one has me stumped...

Thanks in advance for any reasons, suggestions.

EDIT: Looks like I am not alone, I am seeing more of these problems pop up now.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Did you disable OTA updates?

I'm on 1.0.0 and haven't had issues at all. Seems that folks having this issue are all on 1.0.1 (or at least from what I've noticed). So, perhaps, to go 1.0.0 and root?
[Nook Color General] tshannon92:
I have disabled OTA but if this is a registration/ auth problem I guess it wouldn't help.

I have NOT gone the 1.0.0 then root path and that sounds like a good next step, thank you.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/18/microsoft-releases-onenote-app-for-iphone-free-for-a-limited-time/

I'm not gonna lie. It kinda pissed me off to find out that OneNote, one of the best apps on WP7 was coming to the Iphone.

Does MS have no business sense?

Is there some ulterior motive?

Why would they give away a competitive edge to the very people they are trying to beat?

It's not advertising for MS since it's eventually going to be a paid app so WTF?

Also, why are the apps on IOS more advanced than on WP7? Talking about Bing search here.

Do even the MS developers not have access to all APIs or something?

This is just screwy IMO. What do you guys think?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emigrating:
What do we think? Firstly, I think you should have searched the forum before posting as this is discussed elsewhere, secondly; Yes, they do have a business sense - Microsoft is a SOFTWARE company. This is what they do, release software. The more platforms they release for, the more profit they make.

I do agree it sucks that certain apps have received more/better featuresets on other platforms, but I never expected anything else from a behemot like Microsoft. They have so many departments, teams and people working for them that inter-office communications are near impossible to do "right". Rest assured that WP7 will receive the same level (if not better, due to fully integrated Live services) of functionality in the future.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lekki:
Dude, that post came up 18 minutes before mine i.e. it wasn't there while I was typing this and going to look for the best link so chill out.

2nd, from a consumer standpoint, saying 'a behemoth of a company so bad communication between departments' as an excuse just means poorly run company. You're saying Google is a small company? Yet their software is tightly integrated with Android, more so than other platforms with their integration.

As for rest assured, they will do right. Still waiting on that update. I'm not assured of anything until I see a more proactive approach to addressing customer feedback on Micorsoft's end.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digger1985:
MS is a platform company and write software to sell their platforms. If money was all they cared about then they would have ported games like Halo to PS3 which would have bought it tons of money. Think of all the cash they're missing out porting games to PS3!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hboos:
well i guess by releasing Onenote on iOS, they will have more people signing up for Windows Live accounts which is probably what MS is after.

the only thing is that onenote on iOS looks more fully featured than that on WP7....? we cant even make checklists

uninstall the Official XMBC Remote

This is sweet, I've been using it for my htpc setup flawlessly since i rooted my NC. People are always really impressed by it.

Basically (as the name would imply) it's a remote control for XBMC, you can also browse you libraries and launch episodes/music/movies directly from the device.

hi,

Been looking all over the development forum looking for a custom rom gingerbread for DHD. No idea which one is good, any suggestions? thanks in advance.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeathJester:
Hi,

"Good" is subjective. Some prefer slim ROMs with minimal installed apps, performance tweaks, and stripped down services. Some prefer proven and tested builds for utmost stability, sacrificing some neat new features others have access to. Some prefer full-fat ROMs with nifty apps, enhanced UI appearance, and a fully enabled device with maximum usability, sacrificing responsiveness.

Which ROM you think is "good" is for you alone to decide. Try one, if you don't like it, try another. If you can flash one, you can flash them all. Give them a go.

HTH.

Meter Issue: Charges to 100%, in 3 hours goes to less than 1 percent, take battery out and put back in and Battery goes back to 95%. Phone lasts approximately 16 to 20 hours depending on use.

[XPERIA X8 Android Development] badboybiky:
it seems that you have not changed the three si no in build.prop or incorrect no. if this is not your case then restart several time and just delete the db folder of sonyericsson folder in your program file of c drive in computer.as i know if it say no update and there is no option to reinstall firmware .then that mean you have done something wrong in build.prop. try going back try going back to 1.6 and there change the si'and update to latest firmware. hope this help
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] CaptainZap:
Deleted that folder and it doesn't work, but I chose to reinstall software even if it said no new update... I'll see what happens after it's finished.

EDIT: Apparently even if it says you have the latest upgrade, it still works if you go ahead and reflash if you have the SI changed. You should update the first post with this info. Thanks for helping.

btw, mine is also tmobile branded. there are some apps ok, and the startscreen..who cares ;)

i wouldnt install an official rom..warranty is gone and fota doesnt work as easy as now. (yeah you can flash back the stock one...)

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeatherFace:
Man tmobile makes the phone run a bit slow ( talking about fastboot).. takes 2.5 sec on official rom,, takes a minute on branded rom.:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcfc4eva:
I'm in the same position as Leather|Face. I know almost nothing about rooting/flashing a phone or gold cards. I also have a DHD with T-Mobile UK but want to get rid of all the branded stuff (especially the boot screen which makes booting the device take around a minute :(!!).

I have tried searching these forums for a solution but due to the fact I don't exactly know what I'm looking for it is quite difficult. I see a lot of "ROMs" on here for download, I don't know which one I need or if I need one at all, nor do I know how to install them. There seems to be a LOT of help guides for this kind of thing for the HTC Desire, but not the HTC Desire HD - probably because it's a lot newer, or not? This is the way I understand the process, please correct me if I'm wrong and point me in the right direction to complete these tasks;

1. First step would be to "root" my phone, which I believe gives me admin/superuser priveleges, and that's all it does right? I don't know how to do this.

2. Next I need to find the correct ROM, which would be the stock ROM for HTC Desire HD (don't know where to find this either, tried searching). Does this ROM include the unbranded version of HTC Sense UI etc, or am I on the wrong tracks?

3. Install the stock ROM, which I believe is more commonly referred to as "Flashing a ROM", is this correct? I don't know how to do this either.

As you can see from above, I have limited understanding of the process, and what I think I understand may be completely incorrect anyway! I want to find a guide to get back the stock DHD Android/Sense UI, ideally with explanations for a newbie telling me WHY I am doing specific tasks and how they affect my phone etc.

I'll be thankful for any help :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
1. No, first step if you *really* want to do this is to look at how you downgrade from 1.7x to 1.32 (I think, check elsewhere).

2. HTC ROMs, the stock version, are just that. Networks add their stuff to customise it and that's what you're stuck with right now. I don't know which you'll need unfortunately, I'm on T-Mobile with the DHD but I got one before they were available on the site to everyone and it has no branding at all. The ROMs are RUU - ROM Update Utility but I don't think you can just flash stock over a T-Mobile branded version.

3. If you don't know how to flash a ROM then you're going to have to learn how by reading lots of threads and asking careful questions.

I can't give you links because I don't know how to go from branded to stock, I only know what I need to for my phone. I was in the middle of typing out what I think you need to do but I got stuck due to the stock ROM. I don't know if the downgrade process will work or not, and if it does work I don't know if that's downgrading to a stock ROM. I'm sorry I've just added more confusion :P

Suffice to say you'll need at least this information...

How to downgrade from branded to stock HTC firmware

One-click root tool at some point

Possibly / probably an install of the Android SDK to use ADB commands, not sure on this but I have it already from my G1 days.

Information on which is the stock EU or UK ROM version (RUUs remember?)

The search isn't handy when you don't know what you're looking for but hopefully this will give you somewhere to start.
