OK, I've been through the windows 7 forums over the past couple of weeks and noticed there's really no hacks, or even custom rom builds for that matter. I did see a root file. Can anyone provide a compiler of the before and after or know link to the aforementioned? I'll look and see what I can do for you guys.
I did see someone say something bout liking the windows phone but wanting to run android. That would be one hell of a task but I'm willing to give it a go. Anyway, if I can get those files I'll see if I can't find a open port somewhere and get backdoor access to allow an overwrite.

No hacks?!? I'm pretty sure there are custom ROMS (dft) and hacks galore! Not so much for 2nd gen devices but if you want to make a fully unlocked ROM for the Samsung Focus S, then I'm sure the community would appreciate that
P.S. congrats on the free phone.
Well thank you, and sure why not. I need the source for before and after rooting so I can see which port the root tool used. It shortens the work I have to do. Like I said I've been through the windows 7 section, but without the phone I don't know exactly what I'm looking at without trying it out myself. With-all-do0respect to the developers in this section, I don't really trust a file til I try it myself. And what I see is a device manager, which is essential (congrats to the builder,) and game emulators. Not so much custom builds which is what I'm referring too.
Well I dunno what phone you've got, but instead of the Windows Phone Development section, try looking up the phone that you've got. I have an HTC HD7 and I'm currently running a custom rom and running plenty of 'hacks' as you say - they're all found in my phones proper section like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=778
oh, I see. However, all windows 7 phones are subject to paying Microsoft $99 to unlock there phone as developer phones. I'm looking to bypass that and have the phones on windows 7 allowed complete access to there hardware and let them run whatever they choose.
Find the forum for whatever phone that you have and do some reading....LOTS of reading....you'll find what you're looking for mate
@the_wrangler. I've been Modding my phone or ages now. I'm looking to release the windows 7 phones from the noose. I want everyone to be able to run what they want. Not what's provided. Didn't know that was so hard to understand. At least in the g2x section if someone asked for something and gave a reason it was provided. Not that they have to pull have teeth to get it.

Your chances of getting anything with your approach is somthing less than zero. If you had actually ready "everything" in these forums you would understand that some very smart people have been working these issues for a very long time. What you are asking for is the most difficult problem facing WP7 users and something the devs here have been working on for years. You make it sound like a minor request that someone should provide you immediately. Sorry buddy, you understand very little about what you are asking. If it were that simple, it would have been done by now and believe me, no one has been sitting around waiting for you to come along and ask. Give it a try yourself, we have all been waiting for a saviour to come along and deliver to us the holy grail of WP7 freedom.
Sorry to be so short with you, but this is absurd.
Oh, no offense taken, be as short as you please. But now look at it this way. The "devs" you claim are so smart should have no problem compiling and providing for someone who's looking to help. They should understand the difficulty and be looking for anyone to help. This in its own shows how "smart" and how high in esteem you hold them. Take it down a notch. What I'm asking is quite simple. Does anyone have access to or can provide a file that contains a stock windows 7 set up before rooting and then files after rooting. If not, then "smart" is the wrong term. Especially since devs understand that this is a very simple process. It's as simple as accessing your phone via UMS and making a zip for me and them doing the same after rooting and providing a log at with the root files. Since I don't know when I'm getting the phone, I guess y'all are out of luck till I get it.

This isn't android and a lot of the file systems are still locked down despite all the work that's been done. To ask for a full set-up like that is a large bill to fill regardless. Don't take my word for it though, just try when you get yours. I truly wish you well in your endeavors, but building toms on android and modifying kernels is simple. WP7 isn't haphazardly tossed together and broken like android and it's infinite holes.
If I didn't know any better I would think some of you are actively trying to discourage people from working with WP7. smh
@OP There's a sticky in the Dev & Hacking subforum (here) that has some useful info in it, and you're all always welcome to PM me if you ever need help with anything.
@z33dev33l I know its not android. Something everyone seems to miss is windows is windows. Doesn't matter where it is it's still windows. Which is why I'm willing to help you guys. I know how difficult it is to bypass a complete windows firmware set up. Again I'm willing to try and figure out. I thank you xHausx for supporting this.

I'm sorry, I don't intend to discourage. Pulling a dump like this is fairly tough and there are aspects we can't fully access yet. I hope you do open up some possibilities (though if I see android on hardware as beautiful as the lumia 900 I'll cry and vomit simultaneously) and I can give you what I've pulled both pre and post-root once I'm back home Monday. The main problem is no file system access pre-root.

If it gets locked that's fine. I have posted this question in q/a and either no one can answer or haven't read it. I have researched. Posted. Questioned. Now expanding to try to lock down an answer.
I use Facebook flow to do batch pic uploads. Its in the market. Once you log into the app and you go o to gallery and select multiple pics you then select facebook floe to upload them. As far as the pics rotating on you yeah it is annoying. I just take all my pics In landscape mode so they don't come out sideways.

Thanks for the app. I don't need it for my Evo as it does multiple uploads but my wife's epic can use that. But I am sure you and every other person that owns a non HTC phone would not only benifit but would be happy to have this fixed. Like u said...irritating. so much technology and this irritating issue that should be able to be corrected. Thanks for posting useful advice.

Is it just me, or does this just seem more like a "HTC is better" spammer? Either way, Most major problems are solved by apps, such as the Facebook app mentioned above. Plus, no one seems bothered by the portrait/landscape extra step. So that is why no developer is wasting their time with it. The developers on here work hard to fix the short comings of stock phones (Such as seriously lacking battery life) Which, with my a new ROM and Kernel, I had over 20 hours of battery life today while TRYING to kill my battery. So I would say the developers are doing a splendid job, and you just come off ungrateful.

Ungrateful for wanting a mms issue resolved within the software? Blah, you are officially talking out your ass. HTC spammers? Conspiracy theory's? Lmao. Just be nice to come up with a fix for said problem. Why HTC can and others can't beyond me but spamming as you say a brand like HTC. Well, that's the truth and I am correct in my statement and have verified on other phones. Did you not read my post where I praised xda? Notice my post said devs? I meant that in hopes of not receiving comments as such as I believe this is a feasible question. You sir discredit the notion that people might attain information via other forums.
Question still stands? Thanks in advance!
Simple answer: HTC added a feature. There's no bug in the others. HTC is tagging the photos to mark which ones are portrait, then displaying them rotated. The pictures, though, are actually still in landscape, just turned to the side as your phone is.

It does send them correctly - it sends the image file as it exists on the device.

Why not try some other mms apps in the market? While the devs here often help when they can, it its usually because many people want something changed, you are the only one who seems to need this purely cosmetic feature. On top of that, this site is for learning and developing. If no one wants to use their time to make you an app, their are plenty of resources for you to do it yourself. Or show a high need for the feature to entice the developers. At the moment you are the only one who cares.

So how does one become a moderator? The reason I ask is that I am SO sick of reading the same stupid questions over and over and over (as are majority of the members here). This phone has a few talented DEVs, but as a whole the community for the E4GT is terrible. No one reads, no one searches, and frankly, some of the questions that people ask on here shows that they shouldn't even own a SMARTPHONE!
I remember how it used to be back in the day, as do some of you. If you weren't a DEV and were just here to use what was provided, you kept your damn mouth shut. The only time you spoke up is if you searched far and wide and exhausted all your other resources...then you asked your question and hoped the real DEVs on here would give you the time of day...and that was great! You actually had to LEARN something...
These days, and for some reason this phones community is the worst, the "I want it now" pigs overrun every freaking thread on the forum. It even makes searching impossible because your "results" just pop up the same stupid question being asked over and over.
Anyways, I could go on forever, but I only want to know one thing...how can I become a moderator and help clean some of this up so it is better moving forward?
Rule of thumb with any forum: if you have ask to become a mod, you're not going to be one. I'm relatively new here, and to flashing phones in general as the epic 4g ttouch is my first smartphone. So when you mention how any who isn't some sort of Dev should keep their mouth shut I can't help but take it personally. If you really did want to become a mod this wasn't a way to do it. Believe me I'm not trying to overstep boundaries, I know my place. But you're only coming off angry.
Can't be a mod? You can always do what the guy in the image is doing...although you'd drive the mods crazy.

Actually I agree with you. People search and search less and made no attempt to understand at least the basic informations before rooting or customizing their phones. I spent a solid 12 hours googling and searching before deciding to root my phone.
But you are obviously not going to win this one. Forget asking people to search the forum before asking question. There is a two page thread on Epic 4g Touch General area about disabling update notification and people don't even bother to read the OP thoroughly before asking the question. They wonder why what they did did not work when it is clearly explained in the OP.
I kinda see what you mean, but I use the search more since they removed the Captcha....I really hated that. I think we should let people know about it...because that was the reason why I didn't use the search in the first place.
Oh...and also the search time limit

Hey, guys. I am looking to to start developing a ROM this summer. I wanted some input from you guys on what kind of stuff you wanted in it. I want to do something DIFFERENT. Please don't expect me to make AOKP 2.0 or anything like that. This will be my first ROM ever and I want to make something cool, and learn more as I do it. Any suggestions are welcome, but I don't want any crap. Thanks guys.
First off good luck to ya! I have dipped my toes in some of the dev'ing world but have never had enough time to get fully immersed.
Second, keep it fun. From what I can tell most of the devs that keep doing it for the long run enjoy what they are doing, and generally don't get too caught up in the drama.
Finally, I would like a ROM that is just different. I don't know how to describe it right now, but going from CM9 to AOKP to Gummy just feels like I am just changing a couple features. I would love a ROM that is just nothing like anything out there right now. Like I said, I don't know how you could do that but i'm sure there is stuff out there.

The funny part is that people actually want that.
Hi,
It may be hard to build a new rom different from the others.Each rom here provides everything that one can hope,stock to highly customisable (maybe a little bloated),fast,light,themed,etc...
I think it's good to start to ask for ideas and opinions but keep mainly your own ideas because if you take into account all the ideas of everyone,once started you cannot do it to please everyone...
I think the most people here want a fast/customisable rom but we have already a big choice...Take a look in the dev section to check what all rom proposes...
For me no more idea of what I would like more than my actual rom or others I've tested...
Maybe like the most here a fast,light and clean rom,customisable but just the necessary (navbar,toggles,lockscreen) and maybe a themed rom directly (the risk of not pleasing everyone).But the problem is this kind of rom already exists...Arghh,hard!Just find a balance between pure stock and highly customisable.A kind of Revolution rom (by Mike1986) with the mods I said above.
Some users wants almost pure stock...but with 2/3 things customisable not a full customisable rom,maybe look at it,in this direction?
It's just my opinion,I never build a rom but when you look into the dev section sometimes the devs must pull out his hair (sorry,Google translate for this ).
But in any case good luck

Create your own widgets that are excellent to use and optimized as can be.
Also, make an awe inspiring Messaging app. One that's fast, themable, that let's you set a signature properly, and has a decent pop up. (People claim GoSMS to be too bloated.)
Code your own set of widgets into the notification pull down (not just toggles).

Create your own, integrated and optimized, rom manager.

Not taking a pot shot or being douchey. Just wondering.
Without knowing that, people will throw every ridiculous idea at you without knowing what you are or are not capable of.
This is bordering on being a hype thread way before development has begun
But seriously, Google would have been the first place to start. And there are PLENTY of "so you wanna build (insert rom name) for the galaxy nexus" threads. So if you can't build from someone else's source yet, than this thread is pointless in its own way.

Loved this phone, and will drop in from time to time as my brother is taking this, but I just wanted to say thanks to the awesome XDA community here.
Edit: Just got a galaxy s3. Loving it, but I'm using my nitro for a while.
Whatever happened to HO! NO!?

not sure why you felt the need to make a ****ty remark about the cm10 guys on your way out but then again, you are here crowing about getting a year old phone so I shouldn't hold you to too high of a standard.

Let's see, not only is the Nexus a newer phone than the Nitro (Oct 2011 for Nitro, Nov 2011 for Nexus), but it:
1) Actually has stable Jelly Bean from Google
2) Actually can make it through a day of heavy use and still have battery left over
3) Actually has more than 3 person developing for it
4) Runs twice as smoothly as the Nitro, and crashes...well, never.
But since you're on here bashing anyone who criticizes the faults of the Nitro, I guess I shouldn't hold you to too high of a standard either. Nor would I expect you to understand the logic behind why I went with the Nexus and not the One X or SGS3, or why one of my friends, an admin here on XDA, still keeps his Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver despite having an SGS3 and getting free phones to test all the time. But I'll give you a hint: specs alone don't determine the user experience.

I don't understand where this is coming from. Looking at the 996gt2's original post, he didn't insult anyone at all. He just said he hoped the bugs with CM are worked out.

well, i am sure you are well on your way to getting that rocket science project designed with your nexus, it will certainly get those daily tasks done that much better than the nitro, so much so that you felt the need to let us all know about your big decision.

i couldn't care less if you understand where this is coming from, if you wanted to understand, you'd do a search and find for yourself the op's incessant ****-talking about cm.
again though, i could not give 2 ****s if you get my post or not.

Alright, I think the discussions have crossed the line with these last comments. There is no one perfect device for everyone... unless, of course, you are one of the Sheeple who believes everything Apple says. If we're so worried that someone else prefers another phone over what we have chosen ourselves, we may as well be playing for the other team.
Anyway, fun time's over, and as such:

(And yes. FWIW, I prefer my Galaxy Nexus over all of my other Android devices, including my Galaxy S III.)
So just curious. Are any devs working on or thinking of working on a port of Lollipop for the Find 7a? Haven't seen any hints of it in all my searching
Thanks!
It's on the way.
You can be sure, that at least omni and cm team are working on it.
Omni already confirmed that.
I think you will have to wait around 3-4 weeks.

Sweet.
Really sad theres no news of official lollipop yet
Its really sad to see that oppo has such a good phone but the software development is far behind every one here. Flagships like s5 or htc one m8 are already on their way of getting official lollipop while these guys are still stuck with 4.4.4 betas.
Dirty unicorns are too I'm pretty sure.
And while Oppo isn't the quickest with their own software, they are the only manufacturer actively encouraging custom ROMs, actually helping us with rooting and lend a helping hand when accidentally bricking our phones instead like others that either don't care at all (best case) or laughingly flip us the bird and telling us the warranty is now void forever.
That's worth more to me. (and residing in Sweden usually means waiting months longer for updates than the rest of the world)
Custom ROMs have always been more fun than stock anyway. Android shouldn't be about being the best device out of the box, it should be like LEGOs, turning it into whatever you want it to be. Making it the best device for YOU

THIS!!
With all the hate in the Oppo forums, I honestly feel bad for Oppo. They encourage different ROM usage, and this is how they get treated? Ugh. I support Oppo with their different stance on Android!

Yeah, and they ARE trying to improve their process for stock firmwares too. The problem is - they're obviously understaffed and having trouble hiring people with experience to fix this. (Since they have no physical presence in the West, and that makes it hard to hire Western developers as many aren't willing to relocate.)
From my end, I'm just happy it's being worked on. I have nothing but good things at this point to say about OPPO. Cool company.

Very true, and they are the first Chinese smartphone manufacturer to really make a break for the international market. I'm sure there is quite a bit of hurdles that needs to be dealt with along the way.
In this day and age though, it would be fairly easy to arrange for some type of remote consulting work not requiring relocation.
I could think of a few developers on the spot that would be a tremendous gain for Oppo... *looking hintingly on Entropy512*

Part of the issue is, many of the people qualified to help Oppo here already HAVE jobs and might not want to leave them. Or if they want to leave them, the circumstances have to be right. For example, I really can't consider leaving my job unless it's a long-term thing. After the Cyngn N1 fiasco, I can understand Oppo being extremely cautious regarding making long-term commitments to be dependent on outside partners.
CyanogenMod is currently working on it. I must say it works pretty well considering it hasn't even made it to nightlies yet. It should be great once nightlies and milestones start rolling out.
