You have to register to MS Total Access, but hey... it's free I guess.

The graphics look like they've been upscaled from VGA, so nowhere as smooth as the pictures would suggest. Plays well on Touch HD though, there's an overlay virtual gamepad (press the little [+] icon - can be moved around also) to control the game.

Cheers for the link!

Appreciate link. Will try later and post comments

Thanks for it
just download, it's free I confirm but for me don't like so much.... graphic are basic and the control are strange....
but thanks anyway

Don't Trust MS

Would tend to agree with bouya_k. Graphics are low and playability ok. Cheap version of Need for Speed IMHO, though it is free.

Same for me
Agree on the above: graphics are poor compared to NFS or Xtrakt and the gamepad is something you have to train for
Tnx for the link though: if you dont try, you'll never discover anything

Okay, just got round to installing and playing, as stated, graphics are low compared to games like xtrakt and nfs.
but still, its another game and it passes the time
again, thanks for the link

Thanks for the info!

Thank you kindly.

[WELCOMEHEAD] <-- lol - cool glowing "Icy" diamond stuff

.... so I got bored again.... credits go to two random internet sources for some abstracts... credit for the final product goes to me hehe
this welcome boot screen is generic ("Windows phone") and XPERIA-branded and color-matched for XPERIA's screen to GLOW beautifully when it starts up with its max brightness.
frosty/mirky/icy feel with diamonds/ice.
so... WELCOME! *gives you welcome head* lol (the Photoshop file is available here if anyone wants to make changes for themselves.... http://rapidshare.com/files/320089715/welcomehead.192.psd.zip.html)
(right click and save/download)

Copy it to the Windows directory. I think you need a 3rd-party file explorer to do it though. Total Commander works.
Edit: It should be named welcomehead.192.png.

Nice work holdout
Could you fix the link to the photoshop file?

A few suggestion for Windows Phone 7 navigation

Since Microsoft first released Windows Phone 7, I convinced my self to "NOT BUY" the very first release because I know and I think most of us knows that a few months or weeks, an improved version will be available.. Well probably upgrading a ROM is the answer but anyway, my few suggestions to improve some navigations.
A like to suggest in horizontal panning effect which I think is a very nice and beautiful. But to improve the navigation, here are some my suggestion.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Ok. So another one would be, in Application List navigation.
also posted in my blog site
http://jaysonragasa.net/post/A-few-suggestion-for-Windows-Phone-7.aspx

To be honest, those are nice concepts. I can easily see the Application list getting changed to allow grid support. Can't say much about the other.

FYI Windows Phone 7 is going to be very easy to update. It has a real updater unlike Windows Mobile. You wont have to flash a rom and wipe out all your apps and settings to get OS updates anymore. At least thats what Microsoft is claiming.

the question is, will it be "free" ? which I don't believe it will.
and if not .. well most of us I think will still swim around this kind of site for free upgrade, patched ROMs that we will still injecting in our phone's vains
EDIT:
-- ok, so hopefully it will be free like Windows OS

another suggestion would be
Bing search results.
Will it be nice to search inside your phone too such as Contacts, Applications, Calendar, and files? here's the preview.

Prefer to load media onto your Windows Phone 7 device the old fashioned way? Then it looks like your solution is just a simple Windows registry hack away. Coming shortly after the USB tethering hack, the folks at Mobile Tech World have now discovered that you can effectively turn your Windows Phone into a USB drive by modifying just three entries in the registry of your Windows desktop PC. Once done, you'll be able to drag and drop files to your heart's content -- albeit only on a computer that's had the registry hack done, of course. Hit up the source link below for the complete details.

Excellent news.
But what does the file structure look like? Does this break out of the isolated storage restrictions in any way?
I.e. can you create files in a general area accessible by multiple apps?
I'm thinking no, but we are now only one step away from Windows Phone 7 firmware becoming an actual operating system.

The best theme is the one that works for YOU. Everyone is different. Play around, create something. That's the beauty of Android.

Agreed.
OP - look at an app called Zoomper and Themer. There are so many that do many different things

Found this through YouTube: Car Home Ultra
It's not exactly a theme, but an app. Yes, it's free.

Check this out. It's not my work.
It's called : DIGITAL CAR.
I stumbled across a forum that had the beta release for testing some time back. Got in on it and works great for a dash install. Mine is integrated into the dash of my 2011 gmc sierra. And mounted to the face of a double din DVD player. So it folds out with the DVD players touchscreen when accessing the ad card slot and DVD. The apk looks like it's an actual car stereo. The center car manufacturer logo is inter changable and it has plenty of built in logos to choose from. You can load your own presets from diferent music apks or fm radio if you have one built in to your device. Or simply put you favorite apks in the preset spots. There is also multiple background images to choose from or pick from your gallery. YOU CAN EVEN FLIP FLOP THE LOGO TO A GPS AND SPEEDOMETER.
