Oh, I see, thanks. But I still don't understand all the talk of lawyers and such. :confused:

I don't get it. With both Bing and Google I found it as a free download on multiple sites (even on Microsoft's own website), but I seriously don't get what's so unusual about it. :confused:

Can someone post a mirror? The original link doesn't work anymore. Thanks.

Help me get in the top 150 before it's too late (40 min. from now!)! http://www.brickfish.com/Pages/Blogs/BlogView.aspx?bid=40188&scid=538&

If you're looking for backwards compatibility Windows Embedded Handheld 7 (based on WM6.x) is scheduled for the second half of 2011.

On the bright side, if WP7 can't be ported to the HD2, WM 6.x is part of the Windows Embedded division now (Windows Embedded Handheld), and MS is going to continue development on it (Windows Embedded Handheld 7, which the Moto ES400 will be upgradeable to, is coming in the second half next year).

WP7 should be close to RTM now, saying as though Microsoft's giving away a WP7 device in their "I Need This App" contest. Maybe whoever wins will be able to provide a dump of the OS or system info and drivers (below is my entry and I would definitely do that, by the way). Oh, and although I...

I think the HD3 concept should have the front of an HTC HD Mini, the back of a more square-angeled HTC Legend, and stereo speakers, all in addition to your other concept specs. It would be awesome!

This device is based the QSD8650A/B (both are mentioned) chipset, which supports both CDMA and GSM, and is the only Snapdragon chipset which will get the new 1.3GHz Scorpion core. That is probably why HTC isn't using a GSM-only Snapdragon; if they did use the GSM-only QSD8250, then the device...

Some intersting pictures I found in the file "oemavatar.cab", which was in the IMGFS.

Yes, but manufacturers tend to do that with the Snapdragon chipsets; I think something similiar might have happened with the HD2. Well anyway, this device going to AT&T doesn't make very much sense; why would they want a phone that supports GSM and CDMA? Also, if it really is going to AT&T...

Okay, I'm sorry if I'm totally off with this, but, about the drivers, I think we have a universal agreement that WP7 is based on some version of CE, correct? Well wouldn't the preinstalled HTC drivers be CE drivers technically? Maybe they'll at least get WP7 to boot in some form.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered, but is this ROM 2.10 based or 1.72 based? The front page seems to contradict itself (or it at least appears that way.). Thanks!

Oh, I see now! I can't believe I didn't try that! Well, anyway, this is pretty interesting. Especialy files like 'FileBrowser.exe,' FileBrowserCM.dll,'and 'NativeInstallerHost.exe' could be of some great use to us. ;)

There is no error message; I run the tools exactly as described, which works, but when I look for "C:\output", I can't find it. Otherwise everything is fine.

Oh, too bad then, but thanks for your response anyway!

But what if you could use Visual Studio to load it onto the device? If you look around in it, there is an option for that.

I can't find viewbin.exe, cvrtbin.exe, and dumprom.exe anywhere, can someone post a link? EDIT: Or, better yet, could someone just upload the dump? EDIT 2: Okay, I found the tools, but the dump didn't work. Any suggestions?

Okay, so since the unlocked emulator has a file manager and task manager, does that mean it would be possible to extract them and run them on an actual WP7S device? And if that was possible, would it also be possible to extract the Native APIs from these apps? I'm fairly certain that they use...

As Engadget once heard from a Microsoft interview, WP7S is based on the same core as the Zune HD (CE6). Plus CE7 isn't even released yet, which means that it wasn't available for use in WP7S last year, when development began. This is just what I've heard.

Well I personally love Windows 7. It was a huge success, and most new laptops ship with it preinstalled. My laptop runs it great, and it is quite stable. Oh, and Windows Phone 7 Series is also awesome; I can't wait until "Holiday 2010." Also, even if it has lost cut/copy/paste (that's really...

Anyone want to post a mirror for the "fixed" ROM? The download link is gone, and I would really like to check this out.:D

If you think about it, WP7S has just about everything a developer could want. These include: A non-GPU app scaler (devs can user just about any resolution they want) A very high list of minimum specs (so they can make high-quality games and apps) XBOX Live (a very big deal, some people may...

Although we have heard rumors that WP7S will have preemptive multitasking, if you think about it, the live tiles really defeat the purpose of multitasking. Say you have a (multi-platform) twitter app. In Android, you can leave this open and come back to it anytime and it will be up-to-date...

The 6.X branch of Windows Mobile is supposed to be supported even after 7 Series's launch, basically as long as people want it.

Well, those who stay with 6.5.3 will pretty much have complete control of it, Microsoft won't really be doing much with it. So, if you really wanted to, you could probably edit the source code, if you knew how. Just a thought.

I know! Why must smartphones always be compared to a simple feature phone!:p I've tried the iPhone/ iPod touch (3rd generation) at Best Buy stores, and, let's just say, they froze more and gave out more errors in 5 sec. than 5 WinMo devices did combined over the course of 2 hours. The...

Free Microsoft Office (Document viewing, creation, downloading, and editing) Abobe Flash Player 10.1 is coming File downloads (possibly) Apps like a Wi-Fi router and file manager will likely come and be allowed XBOX LIVE! Enough said. Zune integration and support (I'm a Zune user) 1GHz...

Well I'm sure they could, but Microsoft wants there to be very high minimum specs that developers can expect so that all apps can take advantage of the hardware to its full extent. An example would be the way WinMo apps are now. Most 3D apps aren't very good because the minimum of what...

Does anyone have a leaked build of this, or are there only screenshots?

This would have been soooo cool. Too bad we don't have a build of this specific Photon build, if it was real.

That's true; Microsoft could have an unannounced "Windows Phone Professional Series." That would probably be where everyone here would go. Or maybe that's what the current Windows Mobile Professional will be (probably and hopefully not).

I don't know, but I do remember an HTC rep saying that. That would be weird though, because HTC almost always releases their new phones in every country but the US first (very, very annoying).

My Opinion Well I think the reason why few people here love it is because we're the only people who actually used and appreciated Windows Mobile's advanced features. But, unfortunetly, the problem is that nobody (except us) would care if Microsoft did included such features. In fact, they...

Well, actually a Microsoft person (don't know what he does) told an Engadget editor that while he was giving him a demo of Windows Phone 7, which was recorded. I think so, that is. It may have been a video from another site or quoted, but I remember Microsoft saying that somewhere.

Oh, yes, and the HTC HD2's proccessor DOES support Windows Phone 7, but I don't think it has the required 4-point touch or search button (I suppose we could use the home key...;)). Edit: I just found out that the HD2 has the correct minimum resolution for Windows Phone 7, WVGA.

Well, Microsoft told us why. Flash on smartphones is EXTREMELY buggy, doesn't always work, and when it did work it wasn't very good quality. The only time it worked reasonably was in Skyfire, and the developers didn't get even the Flash player part from Adobe!! Although, it was nice to have...

I just want to say, if not Windows Mobile, then Android. Seriously, everything else (except maybe WebOS devices) is terrible, especially the iPhone. But, Windows Mobile 7 will probably be fine (or at least as good as everything else), and you shouldn't worry about rumors because everything...

Thanks for the help!

Does Windows Mobile support coding in C# or C++, and if both, then which should I use? I'm asking this because I'm currently trying to learn computer programming, and I would like to eventually develop for Windows Mobile, but I'm not sure which programming language it supports. I've heard...

Will the 576 MB of RAM be enabled in the next release of this ROM like other ROM chefs have done?

You should use OpnMarket. Just go to http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/.

For 6. Outstanding Achievement for ROM Performance & Usability, per individual Windows Mobile phone device I would like to nominate sternas for his awesome HTC HD2 (Leo) ROMs.

I think it will be Windows CE based, because CE is Microsoft's only embedded System that supports ARM processors. Also, the latest version of CE (6 R3) supports third party UIs built using Silverlight, which was rumored for WM7. Also, the person might have meant that WM7 won't just be CE...

I'd like to nominate a few people for this. For Outstanding Achievement for ROM performance & usability, per individual phone device Miri - for developing great ROMs for multiple devices and even going so far as to develop multiple clean ROMs for the same device to meet everyone's preferences...

From what I can tell, yes. It sounds like one of his ROM versions will use WM 6.5.1, or 6.5.3 as some people are now calling it. Just about everything you see in those builds(except IE Mobile and the Titanium home screen) can be skinned by simply installing and applying a 6.5.1 theme. You can...

Will it use the same version of Opera that came with the HD2 by default but with flash enabled(which is what I would prefer), or Opera 10 beta? Thanks

Now that someone has uploaded the Acer neoTouch drivers, I think we should try to find the drivers from the TG01, I heard its Open GL ES 2.0 performance was really good.

Why no WVGA version? I've been waiting for it.

Well, it's just that I thought it would be more finger friendly(and look nicer) when you aren't in the TouchFlo 3D interface(some things could still be hard and/or inaccurate to select), but I do understand that it wouldn't really be that big of a problem when it has a 4.3 inch screen. Just my...
