Desire and WM ? - Desire General

it could be installed on windowsmobile to Desire?

come on been there wm sucks compared to android had it for 6 years but never wanted to go back from android lol

ok, so please Recommend software like space time for Android

Hah well
or how about a fluid video player on android, there are disadvantages to android... i've come to a few in just my 2nd day of use. Besides that, I love it. My ancient 8125 plays that video just fine, no bugs, stops, glitches, freezing like my desire does. Not really a big deal as it's not a video player for me, but like stated some apps will have to be rewritten for droid. Hopefully they're not the most used. WP7 will be a big contender I believe, M$ has the funds and ready to compete. We shall see. They will surely be getting the new qualcomm dualcore lineup i'm betting.

WRONG forum section...

thrust me, you dont wanna do that

I've got Sopranos and pacific on my desire and they play sweet as.
OP : if you want a snapdragon with WM why not a HD2?

HD2 I had borrowed for a month and they appear to me too much, with one hand can not be used

I think you should have this thread moved to Themes and Apps and search for replacements for WinMo, because I don't see a port happening in the near future.
On the other hand, I agree that android -even if it's quite modern and overall better than WinMo 6.5.3- is very immature in many ways and lacks some polished apps:
- email client
- exchange
- contact managing
- extensive weather application such as weatherpanel
- a good imdb client
- a reliable bt/wifi remote - most don't work on bt and even gmote has lots of problems on some platforms
- some other work related applications

well, I haven't said that, my point is that being winmo a lot older than android, you miss some applications which where developed over a long time and which probably will come to android, but aren't still there. The Imdb example is just to point out that even if you have 50000 apps there are some which are missing (and Imdb doesn't want official applications).
In fact if you read my post I have stressed that you should move this to themes and apps because there are some applications which are missing, not because the OS isn't good.
At the same time the email client, contact management (picture syncing issues etc) all point to the fact that android is midway between business/consumer and that it's still a bit in the working, which is completely normal.
But this is going offtopic. I just think that there is probably no way that WinMo (6 ? 7 ?) will be ported to a similar android device. And I'm of the opinion that you should just try to replace what you miss with some of the apps you find in the market.

You can keep Windows mobile away from my desire!

I never said I wanted windows mobile anymore Sir, or I wouldn't have bought a desire hah. I said I enjoyed it besides the video player, you really don't have to defend the OS or device, I like it. I just would like a fluid video player that can play all my files standard fast with no freezing or stuttering. Any recommendations from the marketplace?
Did you convert to some another format with lower quality as well right? The 4 i've players used so far either don't recognize or will play with stuttering, ones i've used so far wouldn't even play my standard entourage rips, which aren't very high quality as is.

Pretty much anything but the stock player is quite poor at the moment. If someone could extract the Samsung one that would be brilliant.

There's nothing generally wrong with any of the 3rd party players so long as they stick to natively supported codecs. In the case of video, this is really just H264 (see here).
I rather suspect that the DivX support in Samsung and LG phones rely on an actual native application and/or libraries rather than an interpreted java application.

Voice camouflage

Hi there!
Is there any software that allows you to camouflage your voice dissimulating a male for a female for instance as it does for PC? Google is not answering to my question...I hope that inside here somebody does...
Why do you want to sound like a girl? Sounds a little perverse to me...
http://www.sharetool.com/Internet/Communication/AV_Voice_Changer_Software_24878.html
http://pcwin.com/Audio/Virtual_Personality_/index.htm
a bit of metabot crawling would have brought it to you too...
never used, never will have a purpose for it , but feel free to have go at it, alternatively you could search for text to speech as this will be more difficult to unmask, I take it these proggies use specific algorythms that can be unscrambled.

Both of those are PC based, so how would that help someone posting in the Hermes forum?
Haha -- I hope something like this does exist. My dad just installed a Sound Blaster X-FI that does this so he made himself sound like an ominous presence in Counter-Strike. It'd be a fun little proggie to have on the phone for messing with friends, for sure!

Ominous eh? Could he do the "ghost" voice like in Poltergeist through the TV?
it was good soft for Symbian OS, and I used it for a while, but till now I did not find any for WM Pocket/smart phone yet.
I doubt you will find it for the same reason PPC Phones can't record calls-
No access the the GSM Voice Stream!
Vito Audio notes records phone calls and its really good at it also so the above statement is false! both out going and incoming also there are a few apps that do this...
From http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/audionotes_smartphone.html

Windows Mobile Smartphone
Best for using with Windows Mobile 5.0
Note that phone calls are recorded only on WM 5.0 Smartphones. We recommend you to start recording phone calls after you have pressed the answer button.
Currently does not record phone calls on Moto Q, Samsung BlackJack and all WM 6 devices

I guess "PPC" refers to "pocket pc devices" where as "WM5" or "WM6" devices are now called just that.
Although the OS is essentially the same stuff and the hardware the same kind of architecture, we use "PPC" to describe WM2003SE or below and "WMx" to describe the later devices.
Im just guessing. Therefore PPC devices WOULDNT support GSM stream, but WMx would. Just perception of the acronyms and their differences in real terms i guess.
I hadnt even thought or realised WHEN we decided to seperate "windows mobile devices" and "pocket pcs" out of what each are technically both!
or something.
has anyone used a good freeware "text to speech" app? looks like there's a lot of them to pay for...
Text to speech
Not sure it's exactly what you want, but I've been using this site to convert text to speech for a year or so:
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
Works well to make notifications for SMS, etc. Just click Play, then save the file in Storage Card/My Documents. Sorted!
thanks Stu, thats it...very coool!

Actually I believe they are referring to the difference between PPCs and Smartphones, not specifically regarding OS systems (though they use slightely different operating systems: PPC=WM6 Professional, Smartphone=WM6 Standard). One of the limitations of PPCs is the inaccessibility of the GSM voice stream, a problem that Windows Mobile Smartphones do not have.
I would like some freeware as well

iPhone 4.0 will have multitasking? WP7, you better have that as well

Just came:
http://www.appleinsider.com/article...software_to_deliver_multitasking_support.html
Still not sure though ... but quite interesting.
If that is true, WP7 better to have it as well!
It's already been hinted that WP7S has multitasking. When you click back on the phone it's goes back to the last application or menu you were using.
Let's say you open Pictures, then you Open the Web Browser. If you click the back button then it will go back to pictures.
Yes, I know that, WP7 will have some sort of multitasking capability.
I just want to post news from other platform competitor (iPhone) so we can see that they are working on something ...
This year would be interesting on mobile world (WP7, iPhone 4, iPad?, HP Slate?).

Speaking of Tables, did you know that LG is supposedly making a WP7S tablet. I don't really care about that, but there are leaked videos of MS Courier which is the hottest thing I've ever seen. Also MS has some touch based OS called MS Locus. It's seens to be Webos, Android, and Iphone OS combined. Here's a pic

That's NOT multitasking
seed_al said:

Please explain to me what multitasking is. It's a mobile device, what are you expecting multiple windows like you for A Full Blown Desktop OS? You can only view one app at a time. What kind of multitasking do you want? When you switch to another app, the app you were previously using pauses. If it was a IM, Web Browsing, Email or any other web based App it will continue to send information. It's the same if not similar multitasking that you see in Android.
Multitasking means that applications are actually running in the background.
On WP7S, they just save their sate and close or pause. That means they're not running = no multitasking.
(I might be wrong and maybe they are actually running, but everything currently hints that this is not the case and there's indeed no multitasking).
On Android, applications keep running. They just save their sate in case something goes wrong and they have to be closed (e.g. if the device runs out of RAM).
Yes, but is that a big difference? What does keeping an App open in the background benefit your anyway as long as it's readily available? It's not like that app is completely closes, it's just pauses to reduce it's footprint. When you go back it's immdiately available without any loading. Not like you see on the other fruity platform.
multi-tasking might not be really important from a normal user view---> i might be wrong....
however on a enterprise point of view, it is important. running ipblue at the background waiting for call or using office communicator at the background while checking out the email.
This has been discussed ad nauseum already. In many cases you need the application to actually run in background. MS and Apple do it for their own apps such as the music player. The whole question is whether we'll be able to use third-party apps that need it as well.

+ WP7 design and MS services

(notice how elegantly it multitasks and how it also has tiles? It just looks ugly)
That's probably the only OS that actually has that type of multitasking besides the Pre.

WP7 will be king
Iam very confident in windows phone7 and its ability to handle Xbox games and tasks. So confident that for WVGA devices like touchpro2 I made a demo of what it would be like and I put it here.
My best guess is that WP7 still uses windows CE as its code base and inherits multitasking support. Seems like multitasking is not a big deal though as WP7 moves away from the multiple application concept.
Although we have heard rumors that WP7S will have preemptive multitasking, if you think about it, the live tiles really defeat the purpose of multitasking.
Say you have a (multi-platform) twitter app.
In Android, you can leave this open and come back to it anytime and it will be up-to-date, but you don't receive any notification.
When using live tiles in WP7S, you can run your twitter app and then switch over to another app, and, although your twitter app will close, while your doing other things your app's live tile can be checking for updates periodically and even display the most recent tweet directed towards you on the homesreen. That way, when you go back to the homesreen, you can see that there's a new tweet, and launch the now-updated app.

What apps have made you like this phone?

been reading all over the General/Accessories threads.. great stuff... im not readay to root or install roms yet... sooo
I am coming from the Sprint Mogul (Titan) and loved it.. then with custom roms it was a better phone.. powered windshield mount, gps software and all.. it was great..
now this my first android... and I have already started seeing the night and day difference (side from hardware.. bigger screen, faster, etc...)..
just ordered a infuse windshield mount and going to order a samsung e4gt desk cradle in a bit (waiting on an ebay offer if accepted)
what apps do you run that is making the phone enjoyable???
my list and couldnt do on the Titan...
1. Office Talk Free (Office communicator) - really nice so now i can go to the labratories and can get messages still!!!!
2. VIP Access - no more keyfob on my keychain.. just put it in my drawer...
3. Beat the Traffic
4. KeypassDroid
5. Craigslist
6. a reliable flashlight app
7. Wifi Analizer - had one on ppc but this one was way better.. even told me to change channels for performance
what do you use???
Only thing I am not thrilled with is the GPS software.. I had TomTom7, iGuidance and GarminXT... TeleNav isnt working right (triangle not on the street) and Navigation looses connection....
Fruit Ninja
I liked it before I even bought it. I just knew it was the next phone I needed.
My gut was right, and I love it completely. Even stock it's an awesome piece of hardware. Not that mine is stock at all lol.
I work in the hosting biz, so the stardevelop live help messenger app is very helpful for me, as well as whmcs, the high quality browsers, Go SMS Pro, and many others.

But seriously? All the games that never played on my Hero, and all the games that kinda lagged on my Evo4G. All run like melted butter on this.
That being said, I actually only game on my way home on the subway. GoogNav works great for me (if you root, you can try diff modems/kernel combos, fix that, btw), NetFlix is awesome, all the basics (gmail, calendar, talk) are also smoove as hell and easy to read, wifi-analyzer/network utility apps and things like wifikill and "Anti" are awesome, all the camera apps like vignette and camera360,...
On and on and on...
Sent from my calculator watch.
I run the same main apps I have had on my previous phons.
1> Llama (Used to be locale, but I think I like Llama better)
2> Tapatalk
3> Aldiko and iReader
4> Runkeeper
5> Flashlight (Amazing idea and REALLY useful at times)
6> Navigate (I haven't pulled my GPS out of my glove box in a few years now)
7> Pandora
8> Sound Hound
10> Goggles
tough question to answer, but, let me put it this way; I have yet to see ANY app that didn't run perfectly, smoothly, and faster than any other phone I have owned..
Nothing is even close to this phone right now, as far as being perfect in almost every way...
I've owned at least 50 phones in my life, so I know of what I speak..

Loved the phone straight out of the box but the wealth of apps definitely makes me love it more.
Mobile Checkbook
Beat the Traffic Plus
Key Ring
Out of Milk
Dropbox
Springpad
There's quite a few more but that's the gist of it.
I agree that besides compatibility like with games like GTA3, this phone mostly just brings speed and size to the table. That said my most used apps on it are:
1. Plume
2. Netflix
3. HBOGO
4. MIUI Music
5. LOUDER
6. SB Nation
7. ACS Mobile
8. Transparent XDA
9. Scorecenter

Boycotting Google.....

Ok, first off, no silly replies please. You can laugh but don't talk like a dumbass.
So here goes.... *deep breath*.......
Is there an alternative to Android (Google) that i can run on my HTC one x. I'm boycotting Google for the way they have handled the offensive video as of late on youtube.
To be frank, google dominates my life, contacts, gmail, photo's, chrome but i now want to boycott them. I know it'll be hard but i can try....
So, alternative OS to google which my one x can run?? Or do i need to buy an iphone
Mods, feel free to move this as appropriate.
What are you talking about......
And no is the answer
lol
somehow i'm not sure they will notice
anyways its your life, your choice..
windows phone, iphone, and blackberry, samsung bada, i think there's more, but none really are quite the same as android, imo you will be taking a big step backwards if you do choose to not use it.
only problem, is that your not really gonna be successful in finding one of those os's for the one x. somebody would have to make it, the same way as a custom rom, and the processor architecture could be different, and not supported by os etc etc, its a big mess and very very unlikely to ever happen - the old windows mobile phones got android, purely because winmo was complete crap, and android would have been considered an upgrade, the other os's; they would be considered by most as a downgrade, hence not bothering to do it
I'm guessing the OP is on about this video which Muslims are finding offensive
But to answer your question, no. You can't run anything other than Android on the One X at this time
CyanogenMod uses all the open source code from Android and makes the Google apps installation optional. If you boycott Google and don't want to know from them, you can use it if it's available on your 1X. The browser allows you to choose your search provided, right?
my apologies.. just could not resist
There is no non-Android OS for the HOX. You could however remove most if not all Google services from your phone. Root, and then install an AOKP or CM ROM, don't install the GApps. It might be useful to use Droidwall to block connections to specific Google servers as well. There will still be some things to do like making sure location services stay off, and you'll face some challenges, but you could cut the cord.
You'd need to sideload apps (no Play Store). Use something like Funambol for calendar/contacts/mail. Use Opera or Firefox browser and set default search engines to not be Google.
I can't decide if this would end up really sucky or really just the same!
Just go buy another phone. U cant please everybody in the world so boycotting google just because of this video is childish. They have offensive material to me posted on YouTube like videos glorifying the IRA but I won't boycott them because of it. So I suggest u either buy a new phone or quit ur b##chin

looks like CM to me.... even though they utilize majority of android.
But wasn't android made possible by Linux??
@ Goku - really dissapointed man. You're like one of the flag ship xda members. Meh
Boycott Google?
Good luck with that, what your after is an iphone - but guess what, all videos will still be on YouTube (aka gootube )
Anyway, what's the big fuss - I liked the video, reminded me of Harry Potter because of the old wizard.

NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0?

Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.

You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.

Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.
What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!

Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.

So it can't be ported to arm format?
I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.
Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.

Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.
apk for arm device is available on apk mirror (v2.00.17):

Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them
Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?

Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.
No crash for me
But option to change quality video is gone:crying:
The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.

I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.
Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:
{
"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"
}
Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.
I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.

New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).
Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).
This version is going to need some work.

Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/
Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.
So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?
I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.
