Hello!
While helping a neighbour sort through their old tech stuff to determine what to keep and what to throw, I ended up with this phone in my hand and decided to take it home to see if it works. Well, it's charging right now and seems pretty lively doing so.
Naturally I looked for custom ROMs and stuff to see what it can do for me still. And I see a lot of RUS ROMs. Does this just mean they are of russian language or something else?
Since it's wifi is actually b/g/n, it should still be able to connect to my AP, meaning I could bring it online. Which is pretty neat
So yeah... What kinda things can I still do with it? WP7 ought to be discontinued, deprecated and pretty much forgotten by now... xD
Any pointer is much welcome!
Kind regards,
Ingwie

Hi there!
My english isn't very good, sorry...
I'm searching for a special software that can do the following tings:
-Transfere operator logos (i mean the old black and white logos and colored background images for new phonetypes) from pocketpc-device to a mobile phone (spcially for Nokia-phones).
-Transfere ringtones (monophone and polyphone) as above
-Changing starting images and such things...
Is there something in existing that can do that?
Perhaps a little freeware-program or commercial for a few euros.
Thank you...
No idea?
Hi there...
so- no one with an idea?
What a pity...
Well, so i've to search it on my on...
hey dont give up so fast! you only waited an hour!? lol
im not sure what you are lookin for, but they have WAP/MMS for PPC
fro ezos.com ver 2.5
its said to be able to send ringtones and pictures just like the nokia
not sure if it will transfer tho.
look into it.
good luck
yeah only an hour
hhmmm plus, minus 6 days
Hi!
Oh-hey!
Something happened in this thread!
@ntabikha (well, Rudegar is right with the time...)
I just visited ezos.com, but didn't find a download-posibility for that program (mobikit????). In the description isn't support for sending logos via infrared to phones mentioned (as far as i have seen). I don't think thats what i'm looking for.
But anyway thank you.
Perhaps some other ideas?
Thank you!
Hi!
So, there is nothing that fits the mentioned criteria?
I know, there's monkeymail (and other programs from same guys) for PalmOS that can do it!
Nothing similar to this for PocketPC...?
Sometimes i think it was a bad idea giving the palm away to buy a pocketpc... there was much more cool freeware and also many commercial software...
thats realy poor...

Forgive me if this subject has been covered, I've not been able to find much on this and I'm fairly new to all this having just aquired a Hermes recently.
One of the things I did hope to do with this (amongst many other things of course) is to use this device as a remote control. I have a number of devices that would become unusable if their remotes were to die and so creating a dbase of all those obscure remotes has been worthwhile using my ipaq to date.
Currently I've tested a couple of pieces of software which work but it appears that the infra red signal is pretty weak, particularly when comparing it to my iPaq 2210 running Nevo. It's far too weak to really be of that much use.
Anyway before I give up on this path I thought I'd try to find out if anyone else has found this to be as weak as I have and more to the point, would a radio or ROM upgrade help or is this down to the hardware that HTC used for the irDA?
It is in general that most PDA's have a 'weak' IrDA submitter. HP is really an exception. I also missed this powerful Irda when I switched one day ... !
A ROM upgrade won't change this.
You might be better off by buying a UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL for your devices. Even your HERMES might be happy and last a bit longer.

Ok thanks for the information. I was kind of expecting this to be the case. I might have to hang on to the HP, it works a treat. It's a shame though.
I'll concentrate on finding out about the rest of the stuff I need to resolve like the gps problems as Tomtom is one of the priorities.

Those devices are the devils work I tell you!.
Looks good.
Lets hope this thing will bring in lots of welcome company.
I know have a device, I am going to run it how it is for a week, to get a good feel for it, and then I will let the fun begin.

Looking forward to it!
Hope to see some WP7 ROMs on these devices soon!
Edit: I just noticed your provisioning files, did you actually dump the ROM? Would you mind sharing the dump?
that was a "leaked" ROM "leaked" meaning it went to 2-3 people.
I was not going to leak that, in fear of having someone loose there job.
I am going to work on getting it dump here before to long.
I have a list of issues that I have with it right now. I will keep track for about a week, and then I will write a review or something to see what I have found out.
Okay, yes I completely understand why you can't share it now.
I hope you will find out more about the ROM, hopefully you'll be able to dump it correctly.

WARNING I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU DO ANYTHING TO YOUR DEVICE BY DOING ANY OF THESE CODES
Well few things. now that is said.
U+S+B+ Power = Recovery Mode
S + L + Power = Secure Bootloader
C + B + Power = Hard Reset
From the phone screen, enter ##77647266488 then press Call
This is the programming screen, you can manually program using this code.
The firmware is a different mess.
It seems we are not able to dump a ROM from device, at least not that I have seen.
Why do you ask, because what Microsoft did is they have different build flags.
-Debug -Beta -Retail -Ship
From inside there, the Ship, has strict settings on it. One of those is that it cant dump the ROM.
So that is where we are at right now. I have a few ideas to try but I am not going to test for a few days.
We shall see though.
So that is what I have figured out so far.
New site is launched today.

A shame to hear that it's so hard to get it dumped, I really hope you'll be able to. I do not own a KIN, but I would love to have the resources for theming purpose.
Nice site, it's really useful to have all information in one place, but I think it's important to keep posting your findings here on xda too as it will help others who don't know about your site.
yes, i will still do that.
it cant hurt to have the info in 2 places. i want the infomation to be out there for people to find.
Nice, thanks.
Doesn't look like there is much interest in this phone. Too bad. I for one would love if it would get hacked. If some would figure out how to get a wifi router app on it I would be so there. Android would be great too but with the screen size and tegra I doubt anything will happen. I wish I had the time or the abilities to work on this phone.
The kin is officially dead. Here comes Windows Phone 7.

I agree but it is still sad.
Can you please help me root my KIN two. Or atleast point me in the right direction, i will donate to you through paypal. I really want to custimize my KIN TWOm!!
so... verizon re released the kin, and for this form factor it is a very nice hardware device.
unfortunately, the software on it is still not so good... so i was hoping XDA was on the ball, but it doesn't appear so.
is there any hope for custom roms on the kin?
Anyone out explain the issue with the bluetooth pairing on this thing. I've tried to pair a couple different phones but no cigar. I looked all over this forum to see if there was a fix but haven't seen a solution only other complaints. When I flash to a new ROM will that fix the poblem? If not how? What did you guys do?
Are you trying to use stock rom? Most people here have no idea how stock rom performs with most functions.
You might want to visit my page gtab for dummies.
Awesome website!
I checked out your web site earlier today from the reply you gave me last night on some other stuff. I can't tell you enough how appreciated this site is. I read every last word of each section and have a much better understanding. I would like to have a better understanding of each ROM. Like what would make me choose one over another? They have to be reasons to pick one over another. What does one do that the others don't? On your web site a brief description of each one could help us dummies know which one would serve our needs better. It's just an idea that could cut down on future questions. I love the site and will be visiting often. Thanks for all of that effort GoodIntentions!
Good idea.
Pros and cons
I thought about this a bit more. Maybe a list of the pros and cons for each ROM could help. If I knew the down side for each ROM it would definitely push me in one direction or another.
I agree with the Pros and Cons idea, I'm in the process of trying to work one up, but alas its seems my knowledge has become slightly outdated don't you hate that? Running CM7, I've got lots of cons but compared to what I had before I stuck with it. Switching to VeganTab I'll let you know how that goes but I'm thinking it may be a permanent switch.
I've never had any trouble pairing with my phone with the roms I tried. Make sure your gtab is visible.
Hello and good evening everyone.
I have received so much from these forums and the Android community in general. A while back I had a HTC DHD and contributed with bandwidth for ARHD(this is way back) as I want to give back to the community(donations aside ofc). Now I have a LG P990 and am trying to find a way to help out with something.
Recently I have been trying a lot of apps of all sorts. One thing I have noticed is the poor translations to swedish. It is sometimes even embarrassing to see how very well written apps and tools are just filled with down right badly translated text. Seeing how many Android users there are in Sweden I really think this is both strange and a bit sad.
I don't know if I' sticking my nose out here, but I want to help clean this up. Maybe I come off as arrogant in this post. That is not the intention here though. All I'm looking for is a way to try and figure out how to help out
Should I just start emailing the specific devs or is there a forum or anything where "translators" gather round? IRC channels maybe? Am I being stupid?

Yep, that's the best you can do. Actually, multi-language support isn't a difficult job, so I think the devs will be glad if you wish help them

Actually it seems pretty difficult to do since a majority of translations are less than perfect.
The problem with emailing devs is that they have no idea of who I am or what I am capable of. Did it a couple years back and the usual reply was "we have someone" or "no we don't need it".
