Someone finally got an InteropUnlock working for the Lumia 710 and 800. Since there didn't seem to a be a link to it in this forum, thought you guys might appreciate it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587650
Could you link the two separate discussion?
The one into the General forum on Lumia 800 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599401
And the one on the tech forum for developing and research http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587650
Thanks.
This is really more than interop, it's more about custom ROM's. Interop is small potatoes compared to what is possible now with these devices.
For now these Rom have only the interop unlock, not the full

I made a test rom for lumia 800 , its a reworked tango rom with Full Unlock but I cant test it because I don't have a nokia.
remember this ís all at own risk
Time to drop the biggest effin' #tip bomb: Nokia & Microsoft are testing a build of Apollo on the Lumia 610. Not 'performant' enough. Yet.

The MS nerd always knows By the way, that last was from Microsoft PR (sources who wish to remain anonymous, of course).

That makes good engineering sense, develop and test on the lowest end devices. Kinda like putting a safety factor on the OS .
If it does eventually manage to run on 610, there is no reason for 1st gen devices to not get Apollo.
and the last time ms_nerd has been right was...

Please leak !!! Please Leak !!!!!! I want to play !!!

Cool, so you selling your device so you can buy an Android ...which obviously doesn't suck.....al;kdjghy8t g[pozhunbx......sorry, I threw up saying that.
Bottom line here...they've always said this....It needs to work...if it doesn't , they won't do it. I can live with that...obviously your standards are higher than mine...
Part I like best.... The update will be delivered directly to users, sidestepping carriers, and can be done over WiFi.
its not so much the lack of ability to take advantage of multicore and NFC. but due to the new kernel its the lack of new apps
What is sucks about this is the fragmentation, now you'll see a bunch of apps only supported if you are running WP8. which you wont be able to do on your 2 months old Lumia.
Hopefully this is true.

I think this means 7.8. I do not believe they mean 8.0.

In basic principle, I can agree. But not in overall. An available app will or won't be able to load on your phone. Its not like it will download and not run right. Like you see in the Android market.
At some point its got to be ok to say, it makes no sense to upgrade a device. If you were to upgrade to 8, but most of the new features didn't work, you would comment about how it didn't work.
Can't have it both ways...well, maybe you can....but still...Microsoft is only doing what it said it would do.

The guy mis-read/mis-understood entirely.
What MS said is that WP8 users, not WP7 users, can register to be Microsoft's test mules for updates that are going to be released soon.
The biggest worry is that WP8 will allow native code for apps, and that many apps will thus not work on "older" phones.
The Lumia 900 is only a few months old and the 800 and 710 and 610 are not much older (all are less than 9 months on the market), but they will not be getting Windows Phone 8 update just like all first generation Windows Phones. Nokia must have known for some time as well that current Lumia buyers would not get WP8 update, this seems unfair especially for Lumia 900 buyers.
I wonder if Nokia plans to do something to make this more fair for current Lumia users?

How hard would it be to offer the "with-contract" price on the new WP8 devices to current Mango owners, even if they're not eligible for an upgrade? That would satisfy me plenty.
Apps written in native code won't happen immediately. If you're an app developer, why write an app for a market with no installed base when you can write one to cover both the installed base and the developing one?

I agree, I bought my 900 and I love the phone I really do but I somehow feel cheated that Nokia let this phone out knowing there would be no update. And yes I am sure they knew, when releasing this phone that there would be no WP8.
How WP 7.8 will make me happy? I like the new start screen but I also want a file explorer and the ability to add custom tones and ringers at will. Yes I know some of you look at adding custom ringers and tones is silly but hey I like it ...and no I DON'T want an android.
I think AT$T should allow lumia 900 and htc titan owners to upgrade to a new wp8 at the 2 year contract price. I don't want to be stuck with old outdated apps

You can do this now. What am I missing?
You just sync MP3's to your phone, after changing the genere to "ringtone", I believe... there's a bunch of tutorials out ther on the subject.

lol I know that I was more referring to custom tones for email and messaging. As for custom ringers I think and on board app for making them would be cool. But I already knew bout the methods to make them just to be clear.
Was I a beta tester?
Lol
I think the commercial was aiming at themselves.

It is other way around. A lot of good apps/games are not ported over to WP7 because of the lack of native code support. Once WP8 is out, you will see a lot of those apps/games flood the martket.
Besides, you can create apps for Windows 8 and WP8 at the same time with very minimum modifications.
F**king ludicrous. All the features I have been waiting for I expected to see in Apollo. VPN, true multitasking, native code execution and the excuse is we can't support newer hardware and older on the same platform?
What total load of bullsh!t. I have been supporting MS OS's for a LONG time now and have windows 7 running on 9 year old computers and XP running on new hardware. I guess the last 20 years of them writing OS's that can do that isn't proof it is possible?! Thanks for thinking were all too stupid to notice.

... and where did you read this??? Microsoft hasn't made ANY announcements regarding availability of 7.8, or even if it's 'finished' yet. Sounds a bit dodgy...

This is not windows phone 7.8!!!
This is a app for WP7.5 called "W Phone 8"!!!
You can try it, download the app in the windows phone market and try it!
Cheers
It's not an app. There's a video of it running at http://www.liveside.net/2012/11/05/windows-phone-7-8-shows-up-on-nokia-lumia-900-in-china/ and the build is 7.10.8847.619
It's definitely an early version of 7.8, likely beta. You can tell by the icons on the home screen. They are not all the correct sizes. But is proof that it's coming, because as far as I'm aware, there is NO way to flash a custom ROM to the 900.

If only someone could dump this... Now we only have 7.8 8835.
Hello people!
Is there somebody who managed to get Minecraft working on Lumia 640 XL?
Because for me the game crashes at launch every single time.
Is it because I don't have the game from the windows store or because of the device? Thank you for any response.
BUY IT!
piracy talking not allowed on forum!
Personally, I got to this thread by searching for an answer as to why I CANNOT buy it. The microsoft store does not allow me to saying my device is not compatible. I'm surprised at that as it's a Lumia 640XL, it'san older phone but not that weak. I should be able to buy it and install it.
