Link plz!
if you mean s tagging photo's: there is a registry edit that can enable it. I haven't been able to test it myself yet tho.

Something you might have not understood, is that the footprint tab is reserved for the Iolite (aka Cruise II)

It is a diffrent phone, and it makes use of Manila 2D. Somepeople have tried porting Footprint to the old Manila 3D, but none of them worked 100%

Hardware image scaler on WP7 (reason HD2 is not upgradeable to WP7)

When I read Microsoft XNA developer blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/shawnhar/archive/2010/03/10/xna-game-studio-on-windows-phone.aspx
I came across this text:
The phone features an image scaler which allows games to render to any size backbuffer they like, and have it automatically stretched to fill the display, with black bars along the edges if the backbuffer and display have different aspect ratios (an idea that will be familiar to Xbox developers). This scaling is handled by dedicated hardware, so does not consume any GPU resources, and it uses a high quality image filter that gives much better results than bilinear filtering like you would get if you did this yourself on the GPU.

I would think that hardware image scaler is something new ... and I dont think it is present on current WM device, including HD2. That could mean also the reason why HD2 is not upgradeable to WP7, because it does not have that piece of hardware.
The perfect reason why hd2 wont get upgrade (may be) :
"Microsoft will begin standardizing around the same touch interface with consistent CPU and GPU along with standard RAM configurations."
And gogol your signature a funny one ha ha i liked it.

Probably at the beginning no but I'm more than certain that they will include programmable shaders in future release.
Maybe not 1.1 or not even 1.2 but it will come. Next generation hardware will need that.

What chipset supports this hardware scaler? Seems strange they'd have something as a requirement that doesn't come on any of the current chipsets WP7 is aimed at.

It could be something that the revised (1.3GHz) version of Snapdragon has but the current version doesn't; or I suppose it could be something that isn't part of the standard Qualcomm chipset at all, but which has to be added to all WP7 phones and which effectively sits in between the graphics chip and the display (a bit like a scaler chip built into a desktop monitor); but I have to agree this sounds a little odd.

All first gen WP7S phones will be using Qualcomm chipsets.
I like this. It'll make porting XNA games form the Xbox alot easier since you don't have to worrie about changing graphic sizes or the resolution you have it set to.
Thoughts
This is just a thought, perhaps WP7 based hardware will have alot in common with the Zune HD hardware (Video In particular) I may be way off base tho, take it as you will or not.
Cheers

maybe the fpu in the hd2 could be this image scaler?

That will do...I trust XDA devs will get WP7 on the HD2 about 3 wks after the first system dump of a phone made for wp7 is release or thrown around for reviews and one reviewer will leak the sys image / xda dev will get his hands on it / rip it apart / put it back together for the HD2. I trust the xda devs and I really need a new phone bad...T-mobile doesn't have a "Superphone!" (such a funny word) so yeah, i'm gunna by it and put my faith in xda devs and pray wp7 gets hacked and put on the HD2...so in short...it's not gunna have an official update, unless otherwise stated at mix10. if not then xda devs will consider that a challenge before all human race, and they ain't gunna lose!

That's true. I'm affraid the drivers will need a complete rewrite due to new CE core, which would be nearly impossible to do just by reverse engineering...
every windows 7 phone will be running the exact same chipset as the hd2,and the majority of them will be running the same resolution. the drivers will all be in the dumped sys image,also qualcomms snapdragon chipset has the image scaler built on,so the hd2 has that as well

Far as we know still the same. Zune HD is 65k colors so figure that's going to carry over.

God I hope not. Better be 16mil colors like the iphone...
If it weren't for the images on the UI, I'd be estimating 8 colours. After all, isn't that Spectrum cyan I see?
I seriously wish it were the biggest limitation of the new OS.
color limits i hope not
If they are planning to make the next generation of games,then they should not limit color so bad. Honestly if they just double the color that be enough. I posted screenshots of what Halo looks like when run on the touchpro2. The colors are fine
and with just a little more they will be perfect. Hopefully microsoft doesnt drop the ball on this 1.
WM never have 65K colors limit... Like Windows CE 16bit 24bit 32bit colors supported. (For proof - DeviceEmulator have bits-per-color settings, and WM working with 16M colors well)
Of course all graphic resources are 16bit, but it's not important.
But CE doesn't support 18bit-per-pixel (most modern displays have 18bit color), so you need convert 24bit color to 18bit color and that is slow...
sent a tweet to the wp7 dev asking them if its still 65k or more, see if i get anything back.

true but as it seems wp7s os is locked down they will have to choose what they are going to use
xbox mobile
the way they portray it as if its going to be a Xbox mobile when it comes to games. I expect it to be much improved over touchpro2 and HD2. So if this is what touchpro 2 looks like( see screenshot) then I expect way better on windows phone7.

people, don't forget that none of lcd panels are 24/32bit.
they all are 16 or even 12bit, even iphone's.
so just because OS will support it, doesn't mean your physical hardware will.

1080p on any tw rom on this phone doesn't work. It can only record up to 720p. Hax
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
It works in mine but I'm on GB not ICS.
Works for me too. 720 is less apt to drop frames in my experience.
Huh?? Overstew, are you drinking? Every rom for this phone is TW aside from CM7/9 and so far they all seem to be recording in 1080p. Though 720p looks much better IMO, I really hate that zoom on 1080p.

That's what I'm referring to. 1080p isn't true 1080p because the resolution in which it records is no different than 480p. 720p is true 720p on this device.

Oh I see. I've never taken the time to do it but are there the correct number of lines of resolution on the 1080p video? Regardless, it seems like a cheat to increase the resolution on a smaller field of view than to give us the full widescreen image at the same resolution. I heard it has something to do with only part of the sensor being used for 1080p (the inner portion) so while it looks zoomed, it's really not. The bitrates are higher - for what it's worth.

Eh, if it's "true" 1080p, it's outdone by the 720p setting, which defeats the purpose of advertising 1080p.
Technically 1080p, realistically, not what you expect from 1080p recording.
Anybody upload to PC both 720 and 1080 of the same scene and does it still crop the 1080 when viewed on the PC monitor ,for example maybe we are not seeing the whole picture and the edges that got cropped will return when viewed on a hi Res monitor .. just a theory I hope is true

I'm pretty sure that when recording 1080p the preview window shows the 720p or (more likely) WVGA square in the center of the actual 1080p video. My theory is that it might be a little too much to ask to both record 1080p at a reasonable frame-rate and to do realtime scaling for the preview at the same time.
....when viewing my videos on my monitor they sure don't look as zoomed in and wacky as they do when capturing.
edit: The 1080p really does look fantastic if you have great lighting and DO NOT MOVE THE PHONE AT ALL. The scene can be very high motion, just don't move the scene....the tearing/warping is horrrrible.

has anyone else noticed this **** happens hella often? the first person to volunteer to try something always ends not being able to try it because there's something wrong with their phone. and then they either forget about it, or when they do try it they never post the results.
not doggin on overstew, i just see this happen all the time, and everytime i'm like "man, comethefuck on, every time!!"
I'm want to record the same scene with maybe a pole or other object on the edge of the screen ,play it on the PC and see if that pole is still on the edge of the screen but I'm still at work

Thank you,about mf time someone noticed that.
720 is real nice with almost zero lag.While 1080p has ghosting/lag effect with moving objects.
I had 3 different epics and they are all the same-1080 recording is uselless,they probably included that option to market epic but in real life it doesnt work good.

Yeah,it is nice if you filming some slow moving robots but beyond that the tear is horrible.I wonder if there a fix for it or maybe someone will make a camera mod that can record with higher resolition than 720p but not as high as 1080.
I noticed the lower the resolution,the less lag camera has.
