Hey,
i dont get it why everybody is complaining about WP7 and switching boat to android.
So what i really wanne say is: why is there a black part on the start screen? where is multitasking?
i dont know if some of you ever saw a zune, but isnt there a way to switch from start screen to hitsory and recent played/watched stuff?
maybe you get the direction where this is going.
overall i like the look of the fresh ui. and i am not worried, because microsoft is always late in the game, but always have the best stuff.
only because something is different and more easy for casual people dosnt mean it sucks. i am a internship salesperson and nearly all the android people come back and ask for help. (same for old windows mobile ;-) ) no problems with webos and osx btw.
just my 2 cents

And what exactly does this have to do with multitasking?
I give you a hint: NOTHING.
Multitasking is running several applications at once. The iPhone has multitasking only for phone and music (i.e. you can be on a call or listen music while doing something else, but you can NOT run any two applications at the same time).
There are other things, besides phone and music, that absolutely need multitasking. Those will not be possible.
iPhone has multitasking after jailbreak and very good, in my opinion)
so i think it's the matter of time when the WP7 will be jailbroken like the iPhone and there will be many 3rd party apps

We don't know if and to what extent multitasking will be supported.

what ?? the multitasking on the iphone is real crap. its really slow, i tried to copy some files trougth scp and started an app, it was inpossible to use the app in realtime....
i tried it myself on my friend's iPhone 3Gs... this multitas app looks like new SENSE in HTC Desire.. all your running apps are in thumbnails

I meant "those will not be possible if there is no multitasing". OK now?
@Azthel, no, those things have absolutely nothing to do with multitasking. They're just lists containing recently played stuff.
And if you want to know it more precisely: The music player WILL be able to run in the background. Just like on the iPhone.
And no, again, this does NOT AT ALL mean that there will be multitasking for everything else. Just like on the iPhone.
But I don't expect that you will ever understand that, so... whatever
In the Zune they have nothing to do with Multitasking you re correct. But thats not the Point.
It would be an easy way to handle Multitasking. You can easily see whats running in the Background. WM. 6.5 has an awefull way to manage this. I am not talking about recent used stuff exactly like on the zune. i am just saying this metaphor on the zune can be so much more. and again: why is there so much black space (its on the zune for switching). maybe this time its clear.
i am expecting a lot more for wp7s. but i absolutly like the way everything is arranged at the moment.

If that's your point... why don't you say that in the first place?
There are many ways to handle multitasking in a way that makes sense. But we've seen none of them on WP7. So what's the point of the whole thread?
Sure, you can expect lots of things. I would expect an Exposé-like task switcher... but that doesn't mean WP7 will have such a feature... at this point, everything we've seen and everything that has been said by Microsoft hints at no task switcher and no real multitasking being available.
They could come up with some magical multitasking concept at MIX. But there's no point in speculating, since really nothing hints at that (and frankly, a "recent" list on the Zune is really no hint).
Hello,
I saw this video of Launcher 7 and was wondering how he got the lockscreen, icons, and the game hub, does anyone know how?
Here is the video:

Thanks
Here it is on the Nexus One:

That's an actual Windows Phone. Not android. To mimic it, you can download Metro UI or Launcher 7 off the market. The game hub is Microsoft's, so you can't get that. You can't really copy the lockscreen.
If you like the Windows Phone's style so much, Sprint has the HTC Arrive.

Partially correct, it's actually a rather old and outdated WinMo phone, with a hackey port of WP7 on it.
No, that's a hd2 running android and launcher 7. Can someone tell me how he got this?
Thanks

I userstand that the HD2 is capable of running wp7, but I can assure you that that is android.
It has skyfire, gmail, pulse and other android apps that cannot be run on wp7, that's why I want to know how the user achieved this, It is very convincing, a same layout is avaliable for the nexus one, I have seen it. Does anyone know how to achieve this look?
Thanks
And I will post launcher 7 on the nexus 1 soon to show you guys

-________- Windows phone has all those apps too; it has a market, you know.
And it even has a freaking Windows logo at the bottom of the phone.
There's a port for the HD2 to make it Android, but it is NOT originally android.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxkIJdG2brU <--- THAT IS THE HD2. The video you posted is the HD2 with WindowsMobile 7.
This is what you saw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiWDafvuaRw
Edit: Woah wait a minute...is that an Android port running? After watching it a bit more, it's like a mixture of two ports :S
Edit2: It must be a ROM or something, because some of those apps aren't accessible on the Android Market. I'm confused now xD
And if you're right about Android, that was really convincing. Launcher 7 has live tiles?
Look at the first video that i showed you, that is launcher 7, not windows phone 7:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIqmMfdPu1E
Here is the same thing for nexus one
And I assure you, that is the HD2 running Android, with Launcher 7

Yeah I see it now..sorry.
What confuses me is how he got the apps to look so much like the ones from Windows 7.
I was also confused before because even though the HD2 originally has Windows Mobile, he clearly had a port for Android and then decided to make the HD2 with Android look like Windows 7 xD

Its a very good w7 rom...
It seems like he's using different launchers to mimic the People, Games etc hubs. Launcher Pro, ADW EX, etc. the launchers are heavily themed to get the same effect as the WP7 hubs, and then the launcher is linked to tiles on the home screen to get the full effect. Seems pretty straightforward to link the launchers to tiles on the homescreen, but all the theming and wallpapers, to mimic the hubs is way beyond my skill set. Anybody have any ideas?
Like the guy above me said, that is setup like this:
The main launcher is launcher7.
The hubs are just links to other launchers, probably adw, launcherpro, and go launcher.
You link the hub tiles to the respective launcher you have set up for it, and boom.
Edit: its too bad L7 doesn't work right on ICS yet. I miss using it.
Edit 2: and the wallpaper is probably multi live wallpaper. Not sure though how each launcher has a different wallpaper though.

Launcher 7 has live tiles?[/QUOTE said:
Yes my friend...The launcher & has live tiles. I am using it on my SG2 and am loving the feel and simplicity of it...
There other icon packs and templates available on xda also. Search for them and customize more.

i just threw this on my CM9 beta2 Epic4g and love it. Only issue so far is that widgets behave erratically... sometimes the BW widget from the "top" will appear on top of a standard tile towards the "bottom" and then disappear if i tap it...it still remains in the correct place, but it's like the launcher is confused where it should be on the homescreen briefly. oh, sometimes the widget will just disappear but then reappear when tapped on again. using the power widget, if i turn on wifi it will disappear, but then reappear when i tap the blank spot and wifi will be turned on.
I'm wondering if dual booting is even possible on any device and I have cyanegoen9 mod (i thinks thats how u speel it) and i want iOS installed along with that. This may sound like a silly idea but there are some good things about iOS. Thanks!

You can't boot anything in then world with iOS besides an Apple device. The project is closed off to everyone except Apple itself. Besides, why would you want that crummy OS anyways? However you can (this is true with some devices) dual boot others ROMS at the same time such as MIUI (which might be more suited to you), AOKP (better than CM), CM or what have you.

Although, I think if you have a jailbroken iOS device, you can dual boot it.
I think Soupmagnet means dualboot ios and android on an apple device.

Yes, you can run Android on an iOS device pretty easily, and it has already been dual booted with iOS/Android.
This is an old article but it shows you how.

Description:
Introduction:
Android Hacks - Dual-Boot iOS on Your Android Phone
The Gadget Hacks team has built a simple one-tap mod that allows you to dual-boot iOS on your Android phone right from your browser by utilizing a mobile-webkit buffer overflow, and taking advantage of the fact that both Android and iPhone CPUs use the same ARM instruction set.
Requirements:
Android 4.0 or higher, Plus support lollipop
1 GB of free storage space
Trivia:
No root required
100% reversible (as easy as uninstalling an app)
None of your existing data will be touched (no need to reinstall apps or contacts)
Steps to run iOS on Android:
1. Tap the giant "Dual-Boot iOS" button below.
2. Wait for few minutes
Happy iOS-ing Android
hi guys is there any way to get the iphone like spotlight on android? it is fully working on iLauncher but i hate the launcher itself, is there any way to port that into a regular launcher? making it flashable? thanks
bump
So i am new to this and i really only want to root so i can see emoji. I DONT WANT A IPHONE!!! and I DONT WANT GO SMS EMOJI!!! I simply want to know if there is a [ROM} for seeing emoji and and iphone messaging or imessage, for free. Also can somebody tell me how to get apple applications like facetime or something else. If it is not possible please let me know. (idk if i used the word rom right) but can somebody please help or should i just shut up and get a iphone even thought i love my galaxy. Please answer my question or tell me a link. PLEASE HELP! Thank you.
Enabling emjoi is different depending if you're on an AOSP based rom or stock. On AOSP when you go into the messaging go to settings and scroll down to the MMS part, you'll see an option to enable emoji support.
On stock roms, iirc, you need to install the emoji dictionary under languages in settings. I don't think stock rom's emoji support is quite the same as AOSP or iOS devices. Perhaps someone with stock could shed some light on this.
As far as facetime & other Apple apps, no sorry its not possible. There's no way to port Apple's native apps to Android, it's also illegal since you'd be using apples proprietary code and violate copyright laws. AFAIK there's no 3rd party app that will let you use FaceTime or iMessage on Android since it needs to connect to Apples servers.
Shut up and get an iPhone!!!!!!
Haha no jk yeah everything featured on iPhones is closed source, so its not possible.
There is stock Samsung Touchwiz ROMs with the AOSP messaging built in which let's you use emojis like iOS. Facetime, iOS keyboard, iMessage, iOS music player are all part of iOS and will never be part of android
