Access Netfront 3.5 Browser Beta -->Released! (Finally) Feb 8, 08 - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

This is it guys... let the mobile browser wars begin!!
Access (remember!!) who once had the all popular netfront 3.3 browser for WinMo platform from the PPC2003 days. They even released a beta of 3.4 which from some strange reason never saw the light of the day out of beta and even in beta stage went in and out of their download section. They had a teaser flow-chart thingy posted on their site for I believe a year now, of the 3.5 version and its much promised post iphone-rumble look.
Well.. its just been released. Read all about it here at downloadsquad.com and they have also posted a youtube video. Looks not bad at all.
I guess Opera getting all the cuddles and love for quite sometime was just too much for these guys and they finally woke up. Good for us, the ever hungry, world of Duttythroy/Helmi/Schrap/Slither(Aussie dude.. citizens. We deserve it all.... a kick-in-ya-nu** iPhone owners.

I'm not you and you're not me!

You can dl it too here
Its a basic registration process with really stupid (in my opinion) questions asked which you can answer likewise and then it'll give you the download button for the cab.
check it out.

Initial impressions.. I can't wait to use both Skyfire (??who comes up with these names??) and Opera 9 browsers as this one has the smooth "flick" feature of the iPhone that both of the above unreleased ones offer as well.
So, its just gonna be which one implements it the best.
Its sad to say though after checking this one out that looking at the screenshots of the long long awaited firefox version, it looks already dated.
Oh well..
Text rendition is pretty much the same as 3.3 and 3.4 which is a little disappointing especially when one gets used to the eye-candy that Opera 8.65 offers with its silk smooth text rendition.
Back to the "flick" action, its super sensitive though. You just have to lightly touch the screen with the tip of your nail and this thing just runs for its life.. which is a good thing. There is a little lag thats coming up here and there.... but then again, its the very very first beta so I can't complain there.
will post more as I play with it more... hope some more ppl try it out soon.

xda-developers overload -- now I'm bored

Great googly moogly.....for almost two weeks straight I was on a xda-developers overload of flashing my phone with something every night.
There was the excitement of some new functionality, mixed with the adrenylene of doing something that you're not "supposed" to be doing, mixed with fear of bricking your phone...
I was obsessed....I would flash as soon as it came out and constantly monitor the thread to see what bugs or hacks people were adding...
Now..I have my phone exactly the way I want it ........AND.........
I'm bored.
When does WM7 come out?
ain't that the truth....
I Agree
I agree! I got my Hermes right at the right time. Just a week after I got it, I started to read this site and figure out how to unlock it. I then loaded the new cingular ROM. As soon as I did that, all of sudden all these WM6 ROMs came out. I've flashed every single ROM and their versions on to my device. It has become second nature. I've found the best one and now I don't know what to do with my free time. It's killing me. Can't wait till WXML0.3. Then I get to do it again at least one more time. Enjoy.
Yep, I am bored too. Although if LVSW keep the usual schedule, we should see new version now. It seem as we were getting an update every 5 days. I was taken sick days from work to play with my phone. The truth is after staying up all night there was no way I can perform well at work.
Anyway I am seating here waiting to flash a new ROM
I'm so bored...I'm thinking about flashing WM5 again...okay... maybe not that bored

Ditto! A week ago I was a scared noob... now I'm a flash-freak!
omg I feel the same way, I have a wizard dash and hermes and every day I am flashing at least one of them. I need a new hobby, like many others here my wife thinks im cheating on her with the internets. when Im at work I check this forum constantly! havent been caught yet!
Ooh! Ooh! New Flash Alert!!!!!
absolutely know what your'e talking about
update your SPL's and/or signatures to 1.40.Olipro then
I check this forum at least five times a day. I've flashed XDA Live 1, 2.0, LVSW, Black 1.2... and ended up sticking with XDA 2.0. Its the sturdiest for me...
Then Windows Live Messenger Beta stopped so I am now waiting for Black V2... with full on Live messenger - but that wont stop me from loading WMXL 3.0 when it arrives... and then I may just get a life.
Well... When we have all tried it all - next must be to create even better roms, perhaps even one that can make us fly to the moon....

HAHA - yessir..
But I believe that the roms from our Chefs will improve to a level much higher than the original WM6 - and what I find even more impressive is the way that things have developed so far. OLI, ROMS, Memory, Tweaks, Improvements..
Had I been from MS I would for sure keep my eyes opened in here... And who knows (This i far out I know, and just meant for fun) if MS had released som BETA to see reactions and how things in the OS would be improved.
Or without the MS releasing - I am sure they must keep an eye on the Forum and different threads and releases - just to see improvement. And who knows. They might end up adapting some of the stuff. (Or try to find ways to avoid what the chefs are doing...)
...just som crazy thoughts..
Sometimes i think we all just are "wm6-Betatesters" for Microsoft. Esepecially since in know that we will get an official wm6 rom for our tytns. Perhaps xda-devs have a secret contract with Microsoft. Who knows
I have the same feeling... it´s been a great two weeks but as things begin to settle down I´m always awaiting the next "fix".
I think that I will stick to a XDA ROM instead of a slow MS ROM. I dont believe that they will end up with a rom as good as i can be when our CHEFS have had it in the kitchen....heheh
BTW - has any heard of any software that let us emulate old MS games - like the classic games series of Close Combat.

Get a today launch application & some heavily copyright protected iPhone icons...and you're set...just don't let Apple's legal eagles get you! They don't like people 'borrowing' their icons...I think they sent out lots of letters...probably a reason not to put them in ROMs? Then again, if you don't use their icons, you're not doing anything wrong.
I read about that somewhere... we should change the icons just a bit.... it would be fun to see the looks on their faces. Im not a lawyer but i think if u change the background of an icon from white to an off white u can get away....
just a suggestion
How about some actual iPhone functionality?...finger scrolling for your contacts. (from elsewhere on the forums)

Cingular 8525 3D Effects 'rom'

I have the 8525 and would love to have the best rom ever especially while this new iphone is coming out. Is there a rom out there that has the best 3D effects for the phone or is someone working on a rom like that. because if we can get are 8525 to have the 3D effects I think that there won't be any phone that can touch ares. the iphone and the new touch phone, that's the only thing '3D effect' they have on us... please let's make everyone know why we are sticking with are 8525's. Thank You!
What the heck please obey forum rules and use the SEARCH FUNCTION
searching forums
I've installed so many ROMS, searched the forums. I know what he means. We've all see the youtube demo of the flashy screen changes. I think I have the perfect rom then its not. Reinstalling new roms and restoring the 50+ apps sucks every time. Yeah, I have SPB backup, but it's worthless on apps with new registry settings.
I've been using modded roms way back on many phones for SEVERAL years. The Iphone will be the best / current phone out. Can't wait till we crack into it. (I know everyone is excited about this.)
I personally use my PDA/phone for business and need everthing to work, and keep on working.
Currently 8525.
I still am craving a true VGA phone with a 850 GSM. The QVGA seems stuck as the main choice.

umm... speak for yourself BigBad... I'm not excited about the iphone at all.. My 8525 does everything it does pluse more. Videos and music? yah we can do that... oh missing the 8gig or whatever? so what, i use orb and have access to my network hard drive in my house which lets me view/listen to 120 gigs of videos/music
The iphone i see it is for consumer whores... Did u see the demo on installed apps through safari? they skip!
i think its a worthless device put together by a briliant team that knows how to suck every penny out of mr. and mrs. average joe!
And NO i am not one of those apple hating windows hard core freaks. I'm currently writing this on my macbook with my hermes connected to windows xp which is running on my macbook through parallels.... i have the best of both worlds and don't see an iphone entering mine anytime soon!
The Iphone
you guys forgot to mention its only 2g!! Only wifi i-net connect, nuff said!!!!!
i'm so sorry being a noob, but honestly i searched and searched every where but i can not find a rom with 3D effects. Maybe you guys are miss understanding me on this...i know they have the rom that has the touch rom and iphone rom 'look a like' but it does not do what the touch htc and iphone does like when the screen turns around and things like that. the only reason i wrote this post was maybe someone can at lease point me in the right place...i currently have black 3.0 and love it.... again i search every where everyday and that's why decided to do this post. don't get me wrong i love everybody's hard work on the roms they do that is amazing, so i'm not dissing anyone...i just wanted the 8525 to be the best that it can be and hopefully have a lot of 3D effects.....SORRY

TouchFlo on Hermes
I Phone not up to Par
The i-phone device thing is inferior in many ways. The only thing it has on the Hermes is that it looks really cute and colorful. The processor on it is only 300 mhz, why go backwards, only 2g. Connectivity-wise not even, please. But again it is cute looking.
My theory...

In the Wizard forum we have gotten a hold of a working wizard rom with touch flo working in it. Ie the cube application with touch spinning it along with the scrolling feature. So I would assume it won't be long before this is ported to the hermes and many other devices...
well if it has already been tested on the hermes where can we download it?

Best ROM?

I want to know which ROM is worth downloading and upgraded to? I've upgraded my phone to Kavana's 6.1, and seen all these other windows 6.5 and all that. Is Kavana the best one out right now? I mean that I want something that I can be convienient for games, being able to watch youtube (and other websites that are like youtube) FLV files, and the fastest and stable OS. Please don't flame me guys, I just got this phone a couple of days ago, and want to know who's ROM is the best.

Before you get flamed by everyone here for making this thread, I'm gonna tell you there is no best rom. Like we have mentioned to the 100 people that asked this same question before you, it comes down to preference, and taste, every rom we got here are good roms, but the choice is up to the user, to decide which is best. So start flashing and you shall find what siuts you best.

Correct. I would suggest looking at both the "default installed" apps and also look at a few screen shots to see what you would prefer.
There are some differences, so taking the time to research each WM6.5 ROM will save you, possibly, a headache in the end.
mods, do your thing!
I thought this was the What is the Best Rom Thread on the Best Rom?....
Ermmmm......It's all about preference. As I have said many times before. Sorry, I am just a little jet lagged. I finally made it to Eastern Germany, and I don't like the looks of it so far.
It depends on what you want to do with your rom. You want speed, go with NRG, You want looks, and speed, a lil, go with ookba's, You want the daily diet, go with Kavana, you want aesthetics, (how do I spell that?) go with Ricky's .
It is all a personal preference. You have to try each one out and suit your taste my friend. No one ROM has ever suited my taste. If I could combine them all into one, I would happily (again a wrong spelling I fear) do it. But each one has it's own style.
Kind of like a girl. You aren't satisfied with just one until you find the one to fit your every compassion. And I am just misspelling words all over the place tonite, but you have to forgive me, I have been on an 28 hour plane ride. Not one suits your desire until you find the perfect one. You have to try them all out friend, each and every one, until you are at least happy with one.
Yeah I just tried to install ooaka's latest one and now my phone is stuck at the windows mobile screen... Theres nothing I can do now huh?
EDIT: Nevermind i figure it out, just close the thread if u have to. Thanks skyline for giving me some info for which rom does what.

Try to hard reset your phone and refresh again. If that doesn't work try using bootload method mentioned in the forum
Good luck
tmobile windows 5.0 is the best..
personally i spent a week with each rom to see which is the best: and they all were equally good. i just wish there were some way they could combine it. like it was said b4 each cooker had their personal flair on their rom. make sure you try ALL
Yeah, I've found out that ooaka's wm6.5 evolution is perfect for me. Well thanks alot guys for the help, I appreciate it! One more thing, why do a lot of people recommend using opera mobile or mini, instead of IE? I tried searching around but all i can get is that IE is slower, and opera uses java? Lighten me up a bit plz.
Thats just it, IE is slow, clunky, has limited options, and dosent render some web pages very well. Opera is alot faster, user friendly, and overall is a better browsing experiance. My moto Q9h has opera built in as its default browser. I think AT&T was too afraid to release a smart phone with only IE.
Thanks alot for the info man, I appreciate it . I think I'm going to try out opera, because I am actually using it for my computer.
One more thing guys, which one is better opera mini or mobile ?
i'm happy to see this thread stray away from which rom is best... that's just an unfair question, and i take it kind of personal. though i'm not a cooker, (more like an alter of pre-existing fun ) i see it like people trying to turn the chef against each other. and that's just not how it's goning to be here! if more people would use the search engine they would see that there are a number of threads already like this. don't get me wrong, i'm no model member. i just don't like it when threads like this pop up. so now that i'm done with my rant, continue enjoying the pretty things this place has to offer.
I like your sig haha the best one yet!
To cksnah I use Opera mini. I dont think I ever used Opera Mobile.
dam guys just calm down, its like ur going to kill me lol. But yea, I'm going to try and use opera mini. Also thanks to those who actually helped instead of giving me answers that doesn't go with my question .

I think the big difference between the 2 flavours of Opera is -
Opera mini routes all its' traffic through their servers and compresses it before sending it on to your device. For general surfing this is really, really good as everything is faster and less data passes through any data allowance you have. But, you cant access any UN/PW sites with it so banking, webmail etc don't really happen.
Opera mobile does allow the use of cookies and so can be used for such sites. But pages are less compressed and therefore larger to download.
I think that's right.
Something like it anyway ...

Ya, that is pretty much the gist of it. I use Opera Mobile for online bill pay when I can't get to my computer. I like the speed and page load time of Opera Mini. I say install both cksnah252, and use at will.
This might help with the breakdown of the differences between the two - -

I have from the Neonbabies German band here Annette Humpe, she says live life and build your phone around it.
I guess I discovered the nightlife. God bless me. It is supposed to rain tomorrow and the next and next day. Kind of what I experienced in the good ol' south of carolina.
I think I am going to make a blog post or something. I must just be a hick of the states, but My life in Germany has been great so far. I have met peeps I never knew I could, and have been warned not to meet the peeps I couldn't. It is just all disco. I visited this one discoteque, dang i can't spell it, but there all the famous peeps there. I will report back. This one famous one, I won't say her name , say her name, lol, was weeping with me at the death of MJ.
Loves you all, loves German bistros and beers. God bless America and Germany. Happy fourths of July.

This is how smooth the Hero SHOULD be!

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...291737/this-is-how-smooth-the-hero-should-be/
That looks super smooth! It greatly improves the overall experience and will probably lure me back to Rosie in favor of the default home screen
I cant see any difference between that and my hero. I get no lag and switching between screens is just as smooth and fast.

yeah, i agree with you. my hero Runs just as fast with no lag And i have the Flipping Clock!
Wait a minute! Now, How do we know thats an actual update coming up?? The video was made by modaco and posted at his website... You can clearly see it contains the superuser app and the market enabler app on the phone. An OFFICIAL VIDEO with the update would never have such apps installed!
Like i said before my hero runs just as fast and i could make a video to prove it.... But this is NO UPDATE PREVIEW OF WHATS COMING UP!
and now im thinking, everytime modaco makes a post in these forums, he links to his website where the actual posts are made... this is not the first time...
Is such promotion allowed on these forums...
Hah, it is a video of the upcoming update!
I do say on the video that i've installed a few apps, and it is rooted (I said that on the first video take (that I corrupted by pulling the SD from the camera!)), not sure about the one I posted.
There are definitely considerable performance improvements in the new ROM, particularly when i've got all my usual stuff installed and running - Rosie remains smooth as butter (which it didn't before!)
Of course I link to my forum where the posts are made, i'm posting here for information!
P
I have a pink Hero at the moment, maybe i'll boot them with the same setup and do a comparison vid.
Love the conspiracy theory tho minogue.

It's not really in my interest (or a worthy use of my time) to post about a fake update...

Hah, it is a video of the upcoming update!
I do say on the video that i've installed a few apps, and it is rooted (I said that on the first video take (that I corrupted by pulling the SD from the camera!)), not sure about the one I posted.
There are definitely considerable performance improvements in the new ROM, particularly when i've got all my usual stuff installed and running - Rosie remains smooth as butter (which it didn't before!)
Of course I link to my forum where the posts are made, i'm posting here for information!

Paul, I think you're doing an awsome job regarding the Hero!! You're one of the guys posting informative and great guides. Keep on doing that!
Why post the same info twice?? Just link it as you're doing allready!

Wait a minute! Now, How do we know thats an actual update coming up?? The video was made by modaco and posted at his website... You can clearly see it contains the superuser app and the market enabler app on the phone. An OFFICIAL VIDEO with the update would never have such apps installed!
Like i said before my hero runs just as fast and i could make a video to prove it.... But this is NO UPDATE PREVIEW OF WHATS COMING UP!
and now im thinking, everytime modaco makes a post in these forums, he links to his website where the actual posts are made... this is not the first time...
Is such promotion allowed on these forums...

Well my camera isnt the best. Or should i say i dont know how to configure it nicely for best picture quality, but sure. Ill have it up and running in a few hours as me is doing something right now...Ill even pm you when video is ready...
k. i just got done recording the video. i will go ahead and upload it to youtube and then share the link..
I should just point out that now i've installed all my stuff I KNOW it's smoother (and hell, you'd expect it to be, it's a newer build).

well im sure the newer build will be alot smoother when it comes out.
Hopefully it comes out soon, however i have made very little to no modifications to my hero to get it running as fast as i have, so im guessing that once i do my own modifications with the newer build ill be able to have things running better and faster than ever!
What is the build no?

I cant see any difference between that and my hero. I get no lag and switching between screens is just as smooth and fast.

Same no lag at all here
Hurrah, screen rotation seems to be much faster.

Hi Paul,
Great to hear that the updated rom improves the performance of the hero.
I'd like to ask if the speed of loading pages in the browser is somewhat improved?
Tx, Harry
