I would love go on vacation in New Zealand. Unfortunately, not anytime soon. Good luck!

there is a bunch of clutter right now on mango, but you should read as much as you can so nothing goes wrong, it finally made it to my phone
sure after about 6 hours of reading and actually doing it. but trust me, it is well worth it, you won't regret it, mango is awesome!
good luck to you

Am I right in thinking that it's Mango OR sideloading? There's no way to keep HTC Youtube and Navigon on my Omnia 7 and get Mango?

Thanks for replying guys.
But no one can help me? t.t
is it fully functional though?
I mean, is it fine to use in daily?

lol what a small world, i live in auckland, nz.. im in north shore to be exact, though i`ve decided not to upgrade to the beta as i heard some incomplete features and such. so im better off waiting for the real deal.

Might have some luck with the Samsung network profile tool. It does handle registry edits since it can setup for mms,etc. Read somewhere it uses provxml also. Not sure of the name it need to be and would have no way to test it.
Do samsungs have access to read/write to the windows directory?

LG GM730 Upgrades

I am thinking of getting this phone. But before doing so, I would like to know if there are any developers who would be building ROMS for this phone etc. Since the GM750 will be running on WM6.5, I'm sure there would be developers who would be cooking roms for the GM730 also. And is this phone the same as other windows mobile phones? Meaning able to install ROMS and CAB files etc?
The price is very reasonable compare to other WM phones. And that would make it fun to just buy the phone and play around with cooking ROMS into it.
It is upgradeable to 6.5 from company itself. U can upgrade it from Service Centers.

Where did you get this info? I saw an upgrade to 6.5 only for Chinese users.
LG GM730f WM 6.5 update ROM from LG?
I got an email from LG Australia that this is ready for download/update - but have not got it working so far
Search google for "Trying to install lgs wm6.5 update to gm730f" for my post
I'm also having trouble.
Just spoke to LG support who are aware of the problem!
They will apparently post me a disc with the ROM, so i'll let you guys know if that happens!
LG GM730f - Factory Default raw files Dumped
Hi All,
Just in case anyone would like a working copy of the default factory RAW files I have managed to successfully download these using the ItsUtilBin tools.
Would I be correct in thinking that I might then be able to use one of the Kitchen utilities to create this in to a ROM update?
Hopefully I'll get time to contact LG tomorrow - I wonder if they will be kind enough to use FTP? ;-)
Cheers,
Dave

Hi HughJarse (nice handle BTW )
Any ideas who you spoke to? LG are now denying this - I could give you an FTP to post to if you do get a copy?
Cheers,
Dave
****RETRACTION****
Apparently someone in LG Aust does know about the 6.5 update and the latest knews is that someone from LG Technical is supposed to be ringing me this afternoon with details?
I didn't catch the name of the person i spoke to, but I'll certainly be happy to help you if I get a copy of the ROM!

Hi Dave
Did LG get back to you yet, because I'm still waiting!?
No joy as of 30th Jan ;-(
Hi Hugh
So although they did know about the 6.5 upgrade it *appears* that it wasn't *approved* by Telstra - or at least that's what I was told.
They also seemed to understand that their upgrade process wasn't all it could be? Head over to the other thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5480790 and keep an eye on things?
It's well worth downloading the Service Manual for the GM730f LOL
Dave
Hi Dave
Thanks for the heads up and the link
I'd be quite happy to use a custom ROM because I'm getting increasingly frustrated and P**sed off with LG and telstra!
SPB Software

In the meantime I'm trialing some of the SPB Software and it makes it look a whole lot more usable - but I can't wait to get something decent on the phone - OR it's up on ebay and I'll be looking for a Samsung replacement...!!
Stupid question, but what's SPB?!
I spoke to someone from LG yesterday and she was trying to tell me the update comes from microsoft. Sigh.
Theres not much hope when the company that makes the phones has reps answering calls who talk out of their A**e!
I'm beginning to wish i'd done a bit more research before i got this phone

Just installed SPB (found it at the site of the little green demon)
looks good, but how do you get it to start every time you turn the phone on?!
forget that, just worked it out!

android & Microsoft & vice versa

I was wondering (sorry for sounding stupid); if you can put android into a microsoft phone, can you put microsoft into a Dell Mini 5?
I've been trying to find some site to answer this but I think the best place to answer this is here.
Thanks
AFAIK windows mobile isn't open source. So the kernel code is not available.
Android however is open source so you can download its code to port it to other devices.
I appreciate your answer. While patiently waiting for the HD2, this Dell Mini 5 is now being shown, now I'm a Windows man (?) & the Dell being Android which is kinda new, I use Google search. With this in mind am I already familiar with Android???
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?
I don't like Bing I use Google search.
Lastly am I waiting for a Windows phone or should I be getting the Android (Dell Mini 5)???
(Lots of questions but again Thanks).
This is driving me crazy!

I hope I understand your question. Android is a very user-friendly OS, so it's not important if you're familiar with it.
If you buy an HD2, there will be android available for it in future and maybe also windows phone 7 series.
I hope you understand my dilemma, simply put am I already using Android?

I don't understand your question. Do you want to ask if you are already using Android when you use Google search?

Again, I suggest you buy the HD2, it's a great device!

No problem, you're welcome.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Thank you, you did understood my questions.
I've been following the 'Leo" for a very long time but since then new apparatuses have arrived & all this talk with Android, I just wanted to make sure that by the time the HD2 gets here it would still be proper to buy.
You have calmed my nerves & waiting for the HD2 is "still" at the top of my list. Its been awhile but good things come to those who wait.
Again Thank you
I figure here is the best place to say this, Android is lagging in so many ways I'd be a fool to go there. The Dell Mini 5 looks good but the Android really is lacking. I truely hope Windows can get themselves into the cloud as quick as possible. Regretfully the HD2 isn't allowed there (WIN7) & to wonder how long before another phone would be developed with regards to the mighty HD2 makes me accept the HD2 & use it for the lenght of time until the WIN7 becomes usable, concidering this is a new decade with new ideas.
I don't think I will have any regrets doing this.
Thanks.
Hope this makes sense to you.

maybe a bad question, but need to know it

Best all

nooo, that takes to long.
So, nobody knows it?
Be patient boy.
Everyone has to wait untill 11 oct before than there won't be any WP7.
After that date it's coming to the market.... and when will that be in the Netherlands. Nobody knows!
Which provider? Nobody knows!
Buy yourself a nice and beatiful HD2....
then you've got 3 options.... 1: WM6.5, 2: Android, 3 possibly WP7 (from the devellopers here at XDA)

I would say that buying a HD2 this close to the WP7 launch is a bad idea, especially if he wants WP7.
There are no warranties whatsoever that WP7 will run on the HD2, at least not good. I would imagine that it will take a while before it will work as good as a "real" device

You're right but the HD2 has got in my opinion the biggest chance to be a WP7 phone. Sure it will take a while.... but I'm patient
Unfortunatly he's not because of his birthday.
Conclusion: Buy a WP7 device hahaha
Thanks for your add to my reply.
thanks guys, only 5 days, woot
Iwilait, cause yea, I'm not so paitient, and I hope that some phone will be cheaper then 500 bucks ;D

Thanks for trying to help, but I really need to know if I can flash a Stock WP7 ROM, no T-Mobile, no AT&T, just stock..
And I don't really want to install Mango, I'm trying to keep the emotion for september (if I don't like Mango, I think I'll say bye bye to WP7 and get an EVO 3D)..
Hmmm... i dont know why you might think mango sucks but anyway whatever you like

First, I don't think Mango sucks, but if it disapoints me, I THINK I will change to Android :S
I don't want NoDo, because I want to have the Chevron and have apps (No Marketplace support in my country) :S

hmmm maybe try this thread if it doesnt help i wont bother you again i hope that you dont need interoperability .... since that wouldnt work with sideloading but the other apps are ok
i dont know if mango is supporting market place in argentina yet .... http://www.gottabemobile.com/2011/0...crosofts-windows-phone-7-international-reach/ its not in the list for marketplace but for localised service ..... so maybe i will work
edit: change region to chile ..... probably sucks but at least its closer and in spanish
Argentina support is coming later in the year. As for Apps depends on what you are looking for alot of people don't understand or get that the most used Apps in iOS or Android are are baked right into Mango. This is the issue and the lie that alot of iOS and some Android fanboys and journalist are spreading, well WP7 does not have the 100s of thousand apps as the other 2 well for 90% of people it is not needed and is just there so figure out what you want. Learn the system and you will find lots of hidden surprises.

Any Windows 10-Mobile Launcher out there?

Hey guys,
I just saw the new Windows 10 Mobile (right now the final version I think) and was allowed to test the new system for a couple of days... And it's extremely impressive! :good:
But, 'cause I love the variety of Android, I don't really want to buy a Windows Phone...
So... is there somewhere a launcher out there I didn't found by using Google? Everything I found hasn't anything to do with the new "Windows 10-Mobile-Look&Feel".
I know this isn't a common topic, but perhaps other XDA-Friends are searching for this, too?
I'm sorry if my english is so terrible as I think it is
thx
