Develop Bugs

Anyone have the Daylight Savings Time Change packaged...

From here?
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=923953
Because of the energy policy act, this will be necessary to have your phone automatically switch on the correct date in 2007.
I'm not a developer, or I'd do it myself...
Thanks,

Sure...
Here you go.

Thanks!
I don't know why they didn't do this themselves, but looks like they are expecting phone providers to work this into updates.

Is there a version for SmartPhone? Specifically the Cingular 3125? I downloaded that CAB file and tried to install it but it complains that it's for a different version.

I made it as open as possible. I'll have to look at it and see... I don't have a smartphone available to try it on but if I can find out why, I'll post about it and possibly have a file for you.

Greeting oh clever ones | mun's Rom question

Hi People
First off, want to say hi, really looks like a nice community here, and hoping to be a human sponge and soak up all I can from you
Hopefully be able to contribute at some point in time.
I got a SPV m700 (Trinity) from Orange, and using my T-mobile sim card in it, after installing mun's ROM update.
Just wanted to know - does the INTERNAL gps still work, as I can only see the external GPS setting.
Will be loadin up TomTom as soon as I get a memory card.
Any other suggestions from you guys - that has experience with t-mobile settings for this phone?
cheers!!

You'll be fine.
Don't mess with any of the GPS settings, and when you install TomTom set it up as follows:
Other NMEA receiver
Com 9 Baud 115200

Cheers buddy.
I went thought the massive thread (tried to anyways) and could get a straight answer if it's still enabled or not.
Thanks

With tomtom, just use the Built in GPS setting.

GAH - I'm going blind!
Thank mate - can't believe I missed that

Sorry to be a pain - but how do i install that - do I need to edit the XML files, or anything to that effect?

i've also got a t-mobile sim in my m700. if you are in the u.k run the attached program from your phone to get all the necessary t-mobile settings.

No, just install and enjoy. you can copy the .CAB file to your Device and install from there. There only screen you will not get is the COMM Manager.

Cheers dude - second link works just fine, first one is just a bunch of XML files for some reason
Might have something to do about work blokcing it - but I doubt it.

Just caught up on this thread- sorry!
Glad you now have the HTC HomePlug- I've just tried the download from our site, and it worked fine, so maybe a config problem on the PC you were using?
If you haven't already, just copy the cab file to the PPC, then locate it with Pocket File Explorer, and tap it to install.
Now go to Settings/Today/Items and put a checkmark against it, and uncheck other plugins you don't need, and voila !

[minnow for whale]USB Video Out Dev&Dig (Status:success)

We all remember at the MIX10 Joe Belfiore projects his phone onto the big screen. Even on the recent XBOX show he did that again.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IA28wRWAI8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCDXaJh4bwE
this kind of video out is through micro-usb, normal type one. You can find Joe is using a Lumia 800 in his hand in the XBOX video.
I asked him through twitter and received an answer of "Special Software build".
I did some research and dig into the register keys. Found something.
This is a special driver that only shared inside the MS and normally won't be out anytime soon.

Big Step Forward, since the DFT Rom released, the exe can be run in WP7.
One thing I need now is if someone can build an app for me, which calls the changeusbprofile.exe under /windows
Things here is I'm using the Opera mini launcher to call it, but the path is under /application, not under /Windows, and the result is my computer can not detect the phone when the phone reboots. I think this may relates to the path I call.
I'm not a typical tech-man, so I need help here. Thanks!

Today I really thank @GoodDayToDie and @ultrashot for helping so many.
@ultrashot sent me a xap app that does the job, calling the changusbprofile.exe in Windows folder. Although result is the same with yesterday, but now I am more sure that we are one more step closer to our destination. I'll wait my new micro usb cables to arrive and then I'll make a second try. Thank you again!!! Can't reach here without you kind people~~~
----Update on 2012.Feb 10 19:22 China Shanghai Time----
I removed the attachments because the project is now on special stage. I will put them back after the feature works, or after I can't make it work. Either way, I will put them back~~~Don't worry.
----Update on 2012.Feb 12 15:22 China Shanghai Time----
Complete failure....
New cable arrived and still my computer can't recognize the phone in usb video out mode...I changed a computer and till the same...
Will think about next steps...if I can't make figure it out next week, I shall put everything at present stage onto here.
----Update on 2012.Feb 14 10:22 China Shanghai Time----
Think it over, and think there is still a hill in front of us. The changeusbprofile.exe seems just to be a toggle, like a shortcut. But the real port of usb video out hasn't been enabled. On my samsung focus, I checked the *#7284# in Diagnosis Mode before and after I ran the changeusbprofile. The thing changes from Zun to Tethering, while it's not the real tethering mode. I think the changeusbprofile is just doing a job like changing usb mode from zune to tethering or to Diag mode. So that's to say, we haven't really seen the iceberg yet. I'll keep finding and hoping that anyone can get any help on this. This may requires me to dig some post in Windows Mobile age, since some parts between the two system are same.
And I contacted the kind secret person, and get the news that the usb cable doesn't really matters. Any short cables should serve the job. So our attention should move back onto the phone again.
----Update on 2012.Feb 15 15:13 China Shanghai Time----
I figured it out~The changeusbprofile changes the value in Registry Local_Machine/Drivers/USB/FunctionDrivers, DefaultClientDriver=CompositeFn to UFN_VIDSTREAM_CLASS. Every value change here points to a folder in FunctionDrivers.
in Samsung Focus, it is like below:
/CompositeFn;
/CompositeFn_QCOM;
/CompositeFn_SAMSUNG;(This is the one when we choose Diag Mode in Diagnosis App *#7284#)
/MtpClientDrvUsb;
/Samsung_USBSER_Modemlink;
/Serial_Class;
/Serial_Class_Diag_Qcom;
/Serial_Class_Nmea_Qcom;
/Serial_Class_Trace_Qcom;
/USBSER_Class;
/USBSER_Modemlink_Qcom;
There is no UFN_VIDSTREAM_CLASS folder here, so that explains why the changeusbprofile works well while it is no use at all...
Next step, I will try looking for the Setting in Asus E600, if I can find someone who has this device. Maybe Samsung Taylor will do the same.
If you can help, don't hesitate~~

Updated some info
I looked into the Key name, UFN_VIDSTREAM_CLASS, which is very unique way to name.
This belongs to a USB function Driver, and the only thing I saw similar is a UFN_PRINTER_CLASS, which is in Wince 6.0

And you may check this

So I'm still waiting for somebody who can offer any help on this. I talked with Mr. Yang Zhongke, who invented RecX prototype, fiinix optimized that, but not the inventor.
His way is not quite efficient and seems can't go further. But he will do some work for this in a foreseeable future.
Any one has a Asus E600, plz contact me, will keep your name secret.

So just be patient, and it will come. No need for this project to keep going.
At last, use my words in the email I talked with the source.
Me:Really puzzled why MS doesn't release such a cool and convenient feature. Haven't they realized that when people use this feature, they are promoting WP7 for free...(Actually I've promoted in this way for Android as a "side effect" in the company I work in for three months and as a result more than 20 Samsung Galaxy SII were added during this period. Google and Samsung should thank me...)

I tried to make it work while it still failed. The computer recognised my cellphone as WM7VIDSTREAM while the PC side app still does n't work.
I think this could be related to that the PC side app is for mango and the cellphone side is grabbed from 7003. I uploaded the VSD folder which contains what I think are the everything we need for now.
If anyone wants to build an rom, now it's the time.

One friend, who you will know someday later, gave me a home-make cab which includes the pkg file from Microsoft. Right now it is not for public for now. But it is successful.
Although I started this project, but as it always be, not a technique project but a sociology one. So there are many things and many people's benefit to consider. So just wait for some time, it is there when it is there.
For technique part, the pkg file includes as same as the VSD.rar in the attachment.

Well, I can tell you a little about the thing you found (good investigation, by the way!)
First off, that's a module - it's kind of like a file (and shows up in the filesystem) but is baked into the ROM and can't be opened, much less modified, like a normal file.
There are tools that are supposed to be able to re-assemble modules, such as recmod. I haven't been able to get them to work, but maybe I'm just doing it wrong. In theory, it should be possible to create a "normal" DLL out of the components of a module.
The next trick is getting that rebuilt DLL onto the phone. This can be done pretty easily on Samsung, and is possible on interop-unlocked HTC, but on LG/Toshiba/Fujitsu/Dell/Nokia we don't currently have a way.
After that, you'll need to "install" the driver. Now, there's a registry entry for doing this. The problem is, I only know that the entry is required - I don't know if it's sufficient, or if there's also a database or something that must be updated. In any case, any phone where we can put a file into the Windows folder, we can also do registry editing.
Then there's the thing of actually getting the UI for this feature (the Settings "app" to control it). It's vaguely possible that the retail ROMs include it, but this is doubtful, so you'll probably need to pull it out of that old ROM. It's probably an EXE, so it's unlokely you can make a XAP for it - instead, you'll need to install it into the phone directly, including putting in the registry entried to launch it (this is a guess, I've never tried).
It's worth noting here that it's probably *WAY* easier to just pull that feature out of your old ROM and bake it into a custom ROM. This should be pretty straightforward, however, then it's only useful on custom ROMs, which in turn are only possible on HTC phones (right now).

Thanks for your reply. I did something with the recmod, but the dll it packed is only 1kb, apparently it's not useful. I guess it is because there is no imageinfo.bin inside the dll folder. I used some tools recommended by Da_G who started to try modding WP7 on the first day. Like nbsplit.exe to creat a IMGFS.bin, and use xidump to dump it. Just like what they have done before, I got the dll folders as same as I got at the beginning.
You may be right for the part that it's rather easier to build a new rom. There are tools to repack the whole IMGFS from files while I didn't find any good ways to pack a specific folder.
May ask more people all over the world (thx to the internet) cuz I just moved from android. In android, I use cygwin to pack the Odin Tar files, but it's totally different of course.
Anyway, doing this research is just for fun~ All is because MS is moving too slow...not to mention the NFC function I already have for a year on my Nexus S~~
Thank U again!~

This would be awesome good luck

Really a good find! Found that reg entry some time ago but I didn't care about it...Now that you bring up that thing again I also think that this could be very useful (even if you want it just for fun and not for business purposes). But note that the DLL file doesn't have to be in the /windows folder. It could be somewhere different, too.

@-WP7User-: That's an interesting idea, and might enable this to work on LG phones (where we have registry but not filesystem control). The registry value that speicies the path to the driver binary only ever gives the file name (example:
[HKLM\Drivers\Builtin\HTCFileUtility]
Dll="HTCFileUtility.dll")
However, it might work to specify a full path instead of just a relative one (relative to the \Windows folder, one must assume, since that's where the files in question are located).
However, there's still the issue of actually getting the phone to load the driver correctly. Just adding or editing the registry value for Drivers\Builtin didn't work for me - it did something (the driver stopped working when I chancged the value for an existing driver) - I wasn't able to make a user-added DLL work (even a different version of an official driver).

any news on this?

The old Recmod doesn't work on WP7 files. I believe there is a patched version for WP7 floating around XDA somewhere. Have to check my files, could of swore I downloaded it once.
EDIT: Here you go.

I have get the source code for creating the dcTNONE_ANALOGTV.dll, they are .c file and .def file.
My Problem is I don't know how to build them.
And I have got the changeusbmode.exe and the xml file with it. Figuring an idea to put them in.

Download the FixRecMod.exe above I posted. Drag the dctNONE_analogtv.dll folder with the "s000 s001 s002 s003 s004" files in it over the exe. Now you'll find the actual DLL file inside the folder. Any problems, just upload the folder & I'll do it for you.

I have made the dll successfully. But when I put the dll into the /Windows folder in my Samsung Focus, nothing happened even after a reboot.
And another interesting thing is in WP7 Root Tools, when exploring the /Windows folder, all single file has a "ROM Module" or "ROM File" written blew, but the files I moved in has nothing written under it.
I tried to check the usb mode in diagnosis *#7248#, still there are three options to choose, nothing new.
I personally don't see the future of this project for now.
However, You have done a lot to help, it's very kind of you, thank you so much!

It wouldn't have ROM FILE/MODULE under it as it wasn't cooked in. You probably need some registry for it to work. Also, try opening the DLL in PEexplorer & checking to see it it has a cert attached.
Example of a DLL/EXE with a cert;

Gonna cook it into my rom and try it out...Do you have an idea which reg entry it could need?
I think of something for the settings page. Because if you haven't got a settings page for it, how can you activate it?
And maybe another entry which points it to the DLL file...?

Next weekend I may upload the dcTNONE_ANALOGTV.dll folder which I found in the leaked ROM for HTC Surround even before the WP7 was officially to public, the source code which is .c and .def for it, which is to remove some limits for QSD8250 CPU, and the changeusbprofile.exe and changeusbprofile.xml from Asus E600 (the only dev phone has the display mirror feather in 7720 for now)someone Mr X, who I am very grateful to gave me.
I ain't major in this level of computing techs, so I think in order to make the project alive, it's better to share what I have to those who has the ability to do it. Let them holding in my hand is a great waste at present stage.
The QSD8250 is a very old cpu, so there should be no problem with NDA.
P.S
There should be a manual installed usb driver on PC and a client application on PC but I don't have them right now. If you have friends or friend's friend who is a dev, holding a e600 dev phone, try ask them to share something, appreciated.

Thanks for uploading your files. But it seems like I can't find the reg key...
There isn't a single reg entry which points to the uploaded .dll. At least not in the official Mango Update for the HD7.
But if you post the whole entry, I could try to cook the .dll into my rom and see what happens.

Just like @tessut posted. It's it. And I think you'd better try to build the dcTNONE_ANALOGTV.dll yourself from the source, it should be more reliable than using fixedRecmod. I can't do that cuz there seems to need many head files that do not exist in computer even I have vs2010...
Sent from my SGH-i937 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

Okay, if someone wants to try that, too: The exact reg key (just copy and paste) is
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\TV]
"PanelDLL"=string:"dcTNONE_ANALOGTV.dll"
Didn't flash the rom on my device yet, but that's soon going to happen
The dctNONE_analogtv.dll is in the windows folder, the changeusbprofile.exe and .xml are in there, too. I hope it works!
EDIT: Didn't work at all...The ChangeUSBProfile.exe didn't get installed (although I'm 100% sure that it is there and of course in the right folder). Wasn't there a license xml around or something? Because normally a Windows Phone 7 App needs a license file to get installed when starting the phone for the first time. Don't know if this applies to .exe files though.
Has someone got an idea?

Thanks for the work! Is it possible if we extract the official .cab update file to get a licence and patch it to the exe?
I used a PE Explorer to open the changusbprofile.exe and found a license called"Windows Mobile TCB signing cert" in it.
Another thing is I used a way to open .exe in IE (use IE in WP7 to open this thread and download the usbvideoout.zip and you can have the chance to open changeusbprofile.exe directly) but it failed in Mango. Maybe we should try this in 7004 because this is really an old file. Or we should find a .cab file that contains a exe file in it and this .cab must be announced after mango update.

[DECOMPILE] Bootloader Unlocker

Hey,
since im one of the few people that cant get OTAs or unlock bootloader I decided to decompile the unlock apk.
I used dex2jar.
So I now have some Jasmin code (which look to me like assembler) of which I don't understand most. Though looking through the code for things i do understand I found that in "com/asus/unlock/s.j" it says:
Code:
L0:
new java/io/FileOutputStream
dup
ldc "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3"
invokespecial java/io/FileOutputStream/<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V
astore 10
L1:
aload 10
aload 3
invokevirtual java/io/FileOutputStream/write([B)V
new java/io/FileOutputStream
dup
ldc "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4"
invokespecial java/io/FileOutputStream/<init>(Ljava/lang/String;)V
astore 9
which looks to me like its writing raw data from mmcblk0p3 to mmcblk0p4...
So I was wondering 2 things:
1. does anyone know what is on mmcblk0p3?
and 2. is there someone on this forum who understands Jasmin code better than me and could look at the file?
PS: i attached the Jasmin code to this post if thats against the forum rules please take it down.
EDIT:
ok jsut tryed to dd mmcblk0p3 to mmcblk0p4... nothing happens

Obviously code shows it writes to blk0p3 and blk0p4 some magic (I guess there's a hash done on serial number, and passed to bootloader).
Once rebooting, the bootloader probably checks this magic, and proceed to unlock if the magic is valid (hence the "Unlock Check Failed" some people got).
Two things to do to make it work:
- Know what is written, how to calculate it
- Know where exactly it is written in p3 and p4

I am here to learn.

I'm trying to hack/mod the unlocker apk to unlock all devices... sure its not ready yet but i thought the dev forums are for developers (and wanna be devs - like me) to talk about how to solve problems.

I think its OK on development too. Im asking for xplod/nebkat help to see if we can go further on this.

I don't see a problem with it, but I'm assuming the person who does was referencing the fact that in many device forums (especially ones with large numbers of users) the rule for the android development section is "if you didn't make it, it doesn't belong here."

I don't see a problem with it, but I'm assuming the person who does was referencing the fact that in many device forums (especially ones with large numbers of users) the rule for the android development section is "if you didn't make it, it doesn't belong here." Which isn't a bad idea considering there isn't a dedicated roms or tweaks section.

Yes sir

Here are the decompiled java code zip files created with dex2jar and then jad and jd-gui. They're not perfect and not everything could be decompiled, but it should make the program a lot easier to read

hmm after looking at the code for ages and trying to recompile it i always get a "wrong sinature" on the transformer (yes i did sign it)... i dont know and cant/wont work on it anymore since i got the ota's today at 3am and was able to unlock the bootloader
so i guess its a waiting game for anyone who cant get ota's/unlock

It won't work by compiling it as-is since the obfuscated/undecompilable bytecode resulted as comments in the code (which as it turned out is the part we actually need).
You get "Wrong signature" when installing the app? You probably miscompiled it (or didn't sign it properly). Anyway, as I said above, it won't work as-is.

I'm not sure if you're referring to the Java code or the smali code. If you're referring to the latter, I was able to decompile the unlock tool, recompile it, and sign it and it ran in the Android SDK emulator (obviously, with no effect though)

i compiled the jasmin code so there were no comments (since it was all byte code)
and i guess i did sign it wrong but i used SignApk (which works for all the cwm zips if created) maybe i have to create/use a special key to sign it?
edit: also i didn't get "wrong signature" when installing i only got it when i tried to install it over the existing install (if i tried to install after factory reset it only said "The app was not installed" )

this apk need to be signed with the same key as the system, test signing it will not
work.
it also submits the device serial number to ASUS looks like
Code:
https://mdm.asus.com/DMServer/DeviceState
the unlock code is probably in the server response.

I don't know if running it on a real tablet is any different from the emulator, but why wouldn't a test key work?
I was able to run the (modified) tool in the emulator by doing this:
1. Extract apk with apktool
Code:
apktool decode UnLock_Device_App_V7.apk
2. Open res/raw/keystore.bks with Portcecle and delete the certificate.
3. Modify smali code
4. Rebuild apk with apktool
Code:
apktool build UnLock_Device_App_V7/ modified.apk
5. Create signing key
[code]keytool -genkey -v -keystore testkey.keystore -alias testalias -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -validity 10000
6. Sign apk
Code:
jarsigner -verbose -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore testkey.keystore modified.apk testalias
---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------
Does anyone know how to skip the EULA portion of the tool? The checkbox doesn't show up in the emulator. I don't have an ASUS tablet yet, but I do have have an environment ready to sniff the traffic between the tool and the ASUS server.
I'm thinking of replacing /sys/devices/platform/cardhu_misc/cardhu_chipid in i.smali with different text files and seeing the response from the ASUS server.

Android wont allow the requested permissions, unless the apk is signed with the ASUS
key or you sign the rest of the ROM with the test key, unless something has changed
since froyo.

Ahh, I see. I didn't know that.

you may get around that by odex-ing your changed code and installing
along side the unmodified APK, it has been at least a year since I hacked Android
so I don't quite remember what worked and what didn't work. I seem to
remember that APK's installed in /system/app were trusted regardless of the signing

here is my mmcblk0p3 post unlock

Tracing the code with random (but expected length values), I'm getting URLs, like:
https://mdm.asus.com/DMServer/Devic...H=RkNGOTRFNTBGNzI1N0M5NTE2RkYyNTgxNjcxMUQyMkI
there are also 2 variables
&ACTION=...
&STATUS=...
that I can't figure out. No matter what I send to the ASUS server, I always get the "104" reply.

Thanks! I'll see what I can find in it.
EDIT: The hexdump of the partition is attached (EDIT: removed). I see a whole bunch of \x00 bytes and \xFF bytes and some sort of ASCII table. The interesting stuff seems to be at offset E000. I'm not sure what that is for. I'd need to compare it to an mmcblk0p3 partition from a TF300T that's not unlocked.
EDIT2: Would you also mind posting your mmcblk0p4 partition too?

[Tutorial] How to Enable Continuum on Unsupported phones [Windows 10 Mobile]

Continuum is such a great feature that turns your phone into a big-screen projector, it supports officially a few phones because it requires good specs to run it as well.
Anyway, there is a way to enable Continuum on any windows 10 mobile phone via Miracast (Wi-Fi), it does even work on lumia 630 .
What you need to know first
1- you will do this at your own risk
2- this can cause some problems, one of these problems is that .XAP apps like Whatsapp won't work anymore unless you reset your phone
3- your phone needs to be interop unlocked, if you want to do it check this thread (Interop Tools): https://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10-mobile/windows-10-mobile-apps-and-games/app-interop-tools-versatile-registry-t3445271
4- Continuum will only work via Miracast and not via the dock.
And now, let's get started!
-----
How To
1- Download this cab on your PC from here :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-txDcTZoU6Mbi00bTNuWUxIUUE/view
and move it to a new folder, make sure that the name of the folder doesn't contain a space, name it with a simple name
2- download iutool on your PC (Size: 4MB)
Download link : https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-txDcTZoU6MNnowSi0tMDdJbXc/view
extract it to a new folder
3- on your pc run the Command Prompt as administrator
go through the CMD to the folder where you extracted iutool
4- Type this command on cmd :
iutool -l
Your phone information must show up.
now type this command :
iutool -V -p "the path of the folder where you put the cab file"
for example: iutool -V -p F:\Continuum
Note: if you get an error try again, if you got it again open your phone and go to update settings and try again.
5- Now your phone must install the cab file
6- after the installation process you need to create a registry, if you have the last version of Interop Tools on your phone it will be very easy to do it, just open Interop Tools, go to Tweaks and enable "Force Continuum via Miracast on unsupported devices" and restart your phone.
If you have another registry editor (in other words: you want the long way ) follow these instructions:
Create a new registry.
Registry Type: Integer
Registry key path: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\shell\docking
Registry Value Name: EnabledForTest
Registry Value Data: 1
and then restart your phone and Continuum should work.
Possible problems:
1- As I said first .XAP apps may not work any more.
2- If you will connect it to a PC, the keyboard and the mouse of the pc may not work with Continuum.. so you will need to scroll and control using your phone.
3-Your phone may heating up while projecting.
Continuum will not be so fast but it's almost acceptable.
I (with my team) tested it on some phones : Lumia 630, Acer Liquid M330, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 930 and more .... It works well!
I hope that this is helpful and better explained
If there is any question I would be happy to answer as soon as I can.
Sorry for my bad English

Hi there,
have you ever heard about respect while replying
However, I know that you can explain it within 10 words but not everyone will get it as well so I explained it step by step and so detailed possible so that everyone can do it, so I'm not f***** kidding
Plus, that thread didn't explain everything but I did!
Thank you for your reply!

did I heard about mentioning of the source if you trying be smart ass on XDA?

Can the next tutorial be about how the enable Continuum on unsupported devices, such that it works via the Microsoft Display Dock too?

Microsoft Display Dock or any other Continuum dock require some hardware features like USB Type-C the unsupported phones don't have them. So there will not be any tutorial about this sorry.

What do you mean with whatsapp not working anymore?? Not working on Continuum or that this method somehow breaks the app and won't work anymore?

This means that everytime i use continuum some xaps will break?? If this is the case i don't see the point on enabling it since with this logic will break every app that is not supported by continuum

No app break if install continuum.

Well, I tried on my 630 and old 8.0 apps work fine. I didn't try whatsapp since I don't use wp as daily driver anymore.
I don't have any tv or screen that support miracast so I tried projecting to my old android tablet and it was pretty laggy. This was different than 1 sec delay, it was like a pc whose gpu driver isn't installed.

I tried it on my lumia 630 ( RS1) and my Acer Liquid m330 (RS2) and .XAP apps don't work anymore on the both of my devices.
I'm not the only one who have this problem, other people are having it.
But however, I said it's one of the possible problems and perhaps you face it or perhaps you don't!

I have RS1 so i might skip this for a while until there's a fix

Can anyone install latest rs1 build after installing continuum cab? I'm stucked in 14393.953. I get 0x8018830f error everytime I try installing 14393.1066.

Try doing hard reset, it's the best way to solve those errors

I've been using continuum on my lumia 1520 since months ago I found the tutorial on youtube. I installed it when I was in 14393 AU update with that cabs file.
Now I'm in fast ring 15063 CU and continuum runs better. Upgrading build will upgrade the continuum experience. In this latest FR, continuum still work when our screen locked and it's great. The ability to change screen timeout whether on phone or second display has been added.
But we will never see the improvement of continuum feature since mostly all older devices wont get the creator update nor the rest RS3. We wont witness how it can have floating windows like they showed us last year or any improvements.

It happened to me also that I couldnt update build after installing continuum, but somehow after joining fast ring, it allowed me to update my build and bringing improvements to continuum feature also. Have you tried to join fast ring?

My device has 512mb ram, I joined fast ring and got your device is up to date message. Then I quit from insider and tried installing 14393.1066 and got same error. I think I'll hard reset.
