First Post - THANK YOU XDA community - Windows Phone 7 General

Hello everyone
My first post on XDA forum although I have been very active over last 7 days reading lots and lots of threads
I decided I was sick of waiting for MS to release Mango and before coming to XDA I was a phone hacking noob but I managed get my phone from O2UK stock 7392 Nodo to UNLOCKED 7720.68 RTM without flashing a custom ROM.
I realise the custom route may have been easier but I wanted to learn and I am glad I did.
I can now side load XAP's and I am running juicy Mango which makes me love my WP7 HD7 even more.
Wanted to say THANKS to all at XDA - what a place to learn

Welcome on board, mate.

No more Noob
I spent so long reading before I registered to post the I even clicked someones sig "hottest geek girl in the world"
Well I do love a hot geek girl - I was dissapointed
ha ha

I suspect you mean either conantroutman or myself with the link in our sigs, lol ;-)...

OMFG I need my NOOB status back !!! My people live tile didn't seem to be showing pics following the update to 7720 so I reset my phone thinking it would be ok.
I can tell you its not !!! It re-locked my phone
It did fix my tile issue though but also made some other changes. Such as new icons on the phone (local scout pinned to start screen & help in jump list) .
Ah well looks like I'll have to start again !!!!!

Why would you make *this* your first post on the XDA forums? Seriously, you created a *NEW* thread just to ask a question that nobody here would really know the answer to? A question that has already been asked a hundred times!
Please, for the love of all that is good and right in this world, think before you post. Search before you post. And count to ten and ask yourself, "Is this the right forum to ask this question?" before you post.

lmfao!!!!
according to the timeline that was leaked we should get it at the end of this month.
It could be a month, it could be 2 or it could be several. Just be happy you have a phone that works. It will be out when its out. if you want it so soon learn to do it your self and do it your self.
Wow I swear everyone thinks there a mod. It would be nice if someone just answered his question. Not everyone is on the computer day and night researching the **** out of there phone. I am really starting to hate these forums.

I spoke to my htc rep today and she said the original mytouch 3g will be getting the update to 2.2 at the end of this month and the mytouch 3g slide will be recieving the update sometime in august because of the htc sense they are having issues making it compatiable

Agreed. So one could do one of two things.
1) google: mytouch slide 3g android 2.2 release date, obtain answer.
2) locate android development forum, create a new account, confirm account, write message asking question, wait 6 hours, obtain answer.
But to be fair he asked when we think the slide will get it and not if we had any real information... so... July 27th at 2:45PM EDT.
Really?
What a waste of a thread wheres the moderator when you need em
Why does it take them so long to release an update? When new windows come out for millions of different pc's they have it working in days if it doesn't already work out the box.Here we have something smaller than even nlited windows xp,and it takes them months.Is it that hard to write drivers for these phones or they just taking they sweet time?If its that hard why not make it simple,make a program for android like nlite that slipstreams drivers and we good to go,is there a reason for all this compexity?
One more quistion does bios on these phones ever gets updates?

Main differences is, with PCs, the hardware is modular, and it is left up to the individual hardware components manufacturer's to make sure everything is up to date. The phone is an all in one. Add on top of that, the Sense UI that allows you to basically change the entire look and feel of the OS. So the core updates have to take all the variances in hardware into consideration.
Right Now the First Slide Froyo Rom is out now...but its really buggy

Why one word comes to mind TROll. Someone said 10 min I guess I missed that update Now I have to wait till "July 27th at 2:45PM EDT".
is all that really necessary? we have a rom, yes it needs work, but now we can let the flaming die and do some work. if someone asks a question that seems obvious, just dont respond. eventually they will either find the answer on their own, or they will give up. its annoying to watch this forum for updates and information when half the posts are to flame someone. someone wants to mention wasting threads, recover the thread and make it useful.
now that there is a rom to work with, does anyone want to work on making it usable while the experienced devs build something with some polish?
Sufficient number of threads on this topic already; closed.

WP7 on HD2 [Cotulla Development status preview]

Real or fake? You decide!
Mod Speak: Cotulla is a very trusted developer and would most likely not release a fake video, he is 100% legit in the deving community. He brought linux and further pushed android to the HD2, along with tons of other things .

This. And Da_G said he was working on it. Pretty awesome. Now how usable will it be is the question. Will we be able to get around the per-device cert? Da_G was pretty pessimistic on it.

Form cotulla, must be real..
This guys rocks!!!
HD2 with android!
HD2 with wp7!
Thank you cotulla!
This bootloader looks the same as the one from the Android NAND development.
So this MUST be Cotulla and the Darkforce team.
Cotulla said the following thing on twitter:
"Remember this is just DFT team tests, please never ask about release date and etc. Please don't annoy with questions...Future will show all."
So please don't annoy him with questions like:
"When is it finished" etc.
It must be real~~~i hope it~
Hell yeah!!!
Leo will be the 1st device capable of running 3 OS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot Cotulla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he said dont ask questions
Awesome news ... Knew it was just a matter of time...
Already love the dual boot with WM6 and Android ..
Looking forward to Triple booting on the HD2....
I'm not fully convinced.
It just seems like a similar HaRET boot into Android (noted above), a new splash screen and launching directly into one of the many WP7 skinned apps.
Hopefully it will be out for cooking soon, but we'll have to wait and see...
Fantastic... and I just went ahead and sold my HD2 to get an EVO...
Anyways... great work Cotulla!!!!
Real, cotulla is a serious dev!

It says "FAKE GSM NETWORK" on the phone tile, just like the Windows Emulator does.
that was a silky smooth bootup wow that was hot!
I can't wait to have this for xmas. I was going to get the hd3, but uhm...no need for it in some ways. I don't use cloud so much since you need data for cloud (and tmo doesn't have good reception in some areas)
So in other words
I can stick with this phone till next year with the following running
ubuntu
meego (soon)
windows phone 6.5
windows phone 7
android
This is officially the super phone of the ages
Thanks Cotulla!
Its Cotulla! 100% real!
Its amazing! thanks cotulla!

Unlock my WFS bootloader

Everyone that is still s-on goto this page http://htcdev.com/contact and write "Unlock my WFS bootloader" click send and repeat as many times as you can. Cant hurt to try seeing how they are taking their sweet time with the upgrade.
Done.
Now up to others. This is the only way.
Facebook page isn't a great succes.
Really hope in the end of the month cyanogenmod 7 full working (camera, ...) for free on my phone.
Been there, done that and just did it again....
It's about time that something should start happening.
Boo HTCDEV if you're reading this, booo
If there is enough driving force then maybe we have a chance. A handful of users will not be sufficient, we need enough people for HTCDEV to notice that there is a large enough userbase to warrant them developing the unlock for the phone.
At the moment there simply isn't enough people.

I think so too but they probably already have developed the unlock and there's a fat guy in a smelly Big Android BBQ t-shirt sitting at the HTC HQ with a small red button next to his hand. All he has to do is press it and we all get the update, but no. He's sitting there reading these forums sniggering to himself with a fat cigar in his mouth because he's enjoying watching us all suffer at 600mhz.

Send their reply to HTCDev
I already have a magic but today I got a wfs from work, big disapointment to see it's s-on and not much can be done about it
Even the people that are already s-off should bug htcdev with this question, the sooner our devices get the bootloader unlocked the sooner the wfs scene will grow!

Dear -- --,
Thank you for contacting HTC
We thank you for your interest in unlocking your HTC Wildfire S but do not have information on when updates are released or which devices will be updated
We currently don’t have information regarding which phones will be unlocked beside the HTC Sensation. For this reason I would suggest you to follow our official website and social media networks for further announcements about which phones will be boot loader unlocked.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 Port?

Been a long time android user. Love the customization of the OS, but its always fun to try something new! I know there have been a lot of people asking this on other device threads. Honestly, the E4GT could run WP7 like a champ. Plus, it would be great to have the option and be free to run what you want. Thats what XDA is for isn't it? Anyone give this a shot yet?

Not quite an android port but hey.
Ya, the demo is fun to mess around with, but why stop there?

Try metro launcher. Can't really port win 7 because it would be warez then. Windows 7 is not open source.

I see your an ACS member? If so, I just want to say thanks for all y'alls work on the original Epic in the Syndicate Frozen rome. They were my first dip into rooming and rooting. QBking77's tutorials really helped me learn. Thanks for all the help!
Back to the topic. Is there any way to install Windows Phone 7 onto the Epic Touch? I know for a fact that the E4GT can easily run it with the specs it has. Why not try and pull WP7 off of another Samsung WP7 device. Maybe that could be a starting point? I'm not a developer, but theres gotta be more people out there who want this to happen or are at least interested.

Like someone already said.. this would be considered illegal since WP7 is not opensource like Android.. It would also be extremely difficult (don't want to say impossible), considering the source is not available and the drivers most likely being incompatible.
This is the closest you'll get to it:
https://market.android.com/details?id=info.tikuwarez.launcher3&hl=en
Ah. Makes sense. It is like Microsoft to screw up something with great potential by locking it down. Oh well... I'll just ask this since theres already a few people in here to seem to know their stuff. What rom would you recommend for the E4GT?

Now that you can go back to full stock, give them all a try. Everything is done exactly the same as on the Epic so it should be easy for you. Which is best is impossible to say. As you probably know from the Epic, some ROMs just work better on one phone than they may on another even though they are the same. That's part of the mystery of these Sammy phones

I have good news for you guys, i am actually a htc one x owner but this could be ported when its done, so im going to help. Windows phone 7 sdk was released the other day and as far as i know this means development and copy of its software is now legal.

This is the link to the site where the sdk has been released. It allows the creation of apps and games for windows phone but as far as I know it could be the start of something big
Hope this could help a bit

you mean wont be jailed if we install it on our android phones ???
Maybe, it is possible?
Guess it can be done. Not at this moment though. Few years ago when Steve Jobs introduced Intel processors in macs, a new unofficial project was started known as Hackintosh. What it does is it simply asks the user to make a prototype of a certain version of a Mac and then installs Mac OS X using some custom bootloaders. I have done it in my machine.
Well, if we can find a phone exactly same as that of any WP phone, then it MAYBE possible, 'cause that'll (maybe ) discard the need for new drivers. Plus, its the world of piracy :laugh: :laugh: unless, you want to go sell your device or patent it, it should be perfectly alright to pirate WP (On your own risk though, IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED )

My Journey on XDA

(Sorry if this is on the worng section, feel free to move it if so.)
So, I wanted to post this when I had 1000 posts, but I acindetally let the post pass :/
Anyways, I will describe my good trip on XDA here.
First, I bought an HTC Touch HD (Windows Mobile 6.1) in 2011, which is the most stupid decision I could do but it was cheap, so... Anyways I was happy with WinMo for like a month, 'till I wanted something new, something different, so I wanted Android. I didn't know if this was possible, so I searched in YouTube for something like that (I usually search for these things on YouTube so I can see the comments and if everything is safe) and I found a build of Android Gingerbread that ran on the SD ( I actually only figured that out when I rebooted my device ), so I went and installed it. Everything went fine, but I had some questions. This is where I found XDA and asked my questions on the forum. Stilll, this build was too slow, so I wanted to fully replace WinMo, which was when I found tiad8 . com. This guy (tiad8) kanged a lot from the XDANDROID (original Android-on-HTC devs) kernel sources but he actually made a functional ROM for this phone. He was very insulted by the original devs and I don't have an opinion on that matter, since I used both of their works. Anyways, later fagyi (another dev) took care of the ROM for the HD and I actually made kernel progress and a lot of things for it to be a fast ROM, so I ended up using his ROM and doing a post of it here on XDA. The first post was blocked by the XDA mods crying but then fagyi posted the ROM itself and people still go there. After this ROM came out, I realized I couldn't use it since my phone got very hot (not on the ROM, actual motherboard problem) and battery was spent in like 2 hours. I had to buy a new phone, and I waited like 3 months to this, but on the last Christmas I finally got a Galaxy Nexus! When I got it I already understood a lot about Android development. Flashing ROMs was easy as pie (obvious, it's a Nexus ) and this is what I use now. I want to thank everyone on XDA that made it possible for my phones to be better and better by using their spare time to do this! Here are some names (not by any order) :
- fagyi;
- tiad8;
- ACL;
- arrrghhh;
- stinebd;
- HerrickWong.
Sorry if I forgot anyone.
Thank you XDA for these wonderful 2 years!
