Develop Bugs

[Q] The first thing I did when I got my ET4G was...

...install launcher pro and not look back.

I've got it downloaded and almost ready o switch, but I wanted to at least give cheezwhiz a chance first. Not loving it, but the phone is awesome.

I have never seen it run smoother in my life. Holy crap.
To be fair Touchwiz is, well, cheezy as hell...but...I like it more than Sense, which I also hate. It's more stock-like than sense and nowhere near as fat....too ugly looking though.

I like Touchwiz (I'm also a big fan of MIUI). Even if it's a rip-off of iPhone, it's still Android we all love.

I have everything set up to my standards and am just trying out touchwiz. The folders help now. I just hope we get the ability to do a little more. I am just letting it charge now.

Yeah it was, I sold that damn phone within the first month of owning it, ended up buying the EVO 4G, what an upgrade lol.

Look for a way to get into a developer group so we can get this thing rooted and make it usable. I'm way to use to having a rooted device.

i know touchwiz 4.0 or at least i think i do, is hardware accelerated so i think if you install a third party launcher you lose some of it.

Perhaps LP uses those same hooks (I though it was all UI elements via the existing UI API). Launcher pro is so smooth that I don't even care if it isn't accelerated (which I think it is).

Popped in my 16GB SD card, installed ADW Pro Launcher and Handcent. This phone is crazy fast.

Came from an Epic 4g, and this is my first all touch phone. I'll say with the giant screen size, my sausage fingers do quite well and rarely make a mistake. First thing I did though was pop in a 16gb card I had floating around, reinstall most of my apps, and then set it up how I wanted it. I actually don't mind Touchwiz 4.0 at all.

[Q] Forum Logo Change?

Hey,
Just a small question, so the logo for Windows Phone changed when 7.5 came around, why are we still using the Wp7 logo for these forums?
Sorry this just a pet peeve of mine.
Thanks,
Andrew Pearson

Maybe get this person's permissions to use his image?

How about the fact that the dropdown at the top of the forum still says "Windows Mobile Devices" instead of splitting WinMo and WP7. Go ahead, click it and see how the WP7 devices are waaaaaAAAAY at the bottom. Or the fact that they only have forums for 3 of the 7.5 handsets up so far, and it took them FAR too long to do even that much?
Not sure, but I thought WinMo is what breathed life into XDA. Now Microsoft is the pariah and Android is the new favored child.

I for one, embrace our new android overlords.........

Just at quick glance I don't see the Lumia 710, Focus Flash, nor Focus S. I certainly don't see all of these: http://www.liveside.net/windows-phone/

Well, it's been pretty obvious by the pattern of moderating these sections that XDA really doesn't care about WinPhone and worships Android. I've been criticizing this site's approach to this section for months.

Indeed. Admins, please resolve the logo issue.

I'm going to contact the image creator to get permissions, and then I'm gonna contact "svetius" to see if he'll change the image, should be a simple image replace.

I highly recommend against this, if the other mods realize there are WP7 forums they may try to move them to the same site as the iphone forums.

All the logos for the Windows Phone 7 devices need to be changed. Even the Titan and Radar have the old WinMo icons instead of the newer icons that the WP7 launch devices currently use.
They should all use the new red square logo really, or at the very least, the original green round Windows Phone 7 icon.

We'll update the logo.

Ouchieeeeeee I feel for you my friend. Can't believe it's working - resilient WinPho
You always remember the first time you drop a new phone. I stupidly decided to try and open a door at the same time I was on a call and holding two carrier bags. Luckily I got away with a tiny scrape on two corners.

I got this when I was on LIRR and when my sstop came some guys pushed us out.. And this phone was in my hand.. If it wasn't in my hand than al that bruise and cuts would have happened to my hands.. I am glad I was holding it.. I fell on a cemented platform and it saved me from bleeding and hurting my palm..

I have an Omnia 7 too and i love it.
But if once my phone will look like your phone, i will change it to another, newer Windows Phone modell.

is the omnia 7 much different than omnia 2? because i used to own one few years back and i HATED it. i'm actually a fan of samsung products but i couldn't believe they made such a crappy product. I couldn't do ANYTHING with it, and it turned me off to windows phone for life. My boyfriend then had the DROID while I got the Omnia purely based on looks. never making that mistake again.

That's a whole different story. The Omnia 2 was a WinMo device, while the 7 has WP on board. Anyway it all comes down to personal preference I guess, I had the Blackjack II back then and absolutely loved it. It was rock solid and the optical mouse made me feel like a boss. People were always like "omagad wut is that phone?? It has a mouse??"

Yeah, given that the source article cites...well, nobody, I have a hard time swallowing it.
However, that concept is interesting--notice the 3 "lenses" at the top. Could this be a hint (or at least, speculation) of a Kinect-integrated WP8 powered device coming later this year?
I hope so--MS really needs to kick it into high gear if they want to make a useful dent in Apple and Android's market share

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2

I actually wouldn't mind something similar to what that concept is.
The eternally continuous long list of apps is annoying to go through. I think maybe that's why iOS and Android have the different pages. There was probably some sort of research that indicated that people get fatigued by endless lists.
And bravo to the kinect idea. That would be great, and would definitely give WP a wow factor above the other platforms (finally).

Ya, the 3 corners + a round one looks conceptualike. (Notta word)
The three holes in the screen are camera, ambient light sensor, and maybe a flash or multi color led ?
FFacing flash would rock, as would a multicolor led.

I don't really like the picture, but I hope it will be announced in June. They might announce it then and release 5-6 months later, with Windows 8

When you squint, the phone will enlarge fonts and zoom on pages. The suggest the nearest optician.

Double tap, tilt to zoom, features already available because Kinnect on Xbox and Windows isn't that good, so I highly doubt it will be any good on a mobile device.

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?
