[Q] do you use windows mobile 6.x with WVGA resolution? - Off-topic

simple question with simple answers.
YES ... if you do.
NO ... if you dont.

I use my Xperia X1 as my reserve phone.

thanks, the reason i ask is because im making a game (alpha atm) and want to see if there are still people that use WM 6.x with a WVGA res.

Has my time machine worked? Dude it's 2013. Make something for Windows phone 8 or Android

according to your profile you are 107 years old so i guess your time machine has worked (great scott!!) or did that time machine give you a bump on the head?
yes its 2013 and yes there are people who still do use WM6.x because its stable and reliable with a mature community behind it.

i have a samsung omnia i910, i think its wvga. i still use it

Heck, why stop there, lets put ios 5 on the tab? Maybe we could port call of duty over aswell.
Someone actually asked when ios 5 would be ported to the sgs2 in the sgs2 section.

Why you're confusing poor guy...everyone in the world knows, that SGN hardware is limited to run Win XP only...nztechblog, I suggest you to install Windows 95 - it's a blast on Galaxy Note!
So can you install win 7 on SGN?

Probably not.if you can it will be slow

Either you are talking about windows phone 7 or you are looking at terminal clients.
For the first i'm guessing that there is a better change of wp8 running on your phone. for the second you can look at Remote Desktop by Xtralogic.
I really hope that wp8 rom will be released for samsung note. Would be something really refreshing

Not going to happen there is no source for windows phone and no drivers for the notes hardware just not going to happen.
And to answer open in theory you could run windows 7 via a emulator much the same ways xp and 95 is run however the lag would make it completely unuseable

arm instructionset should be binary compatible. So i don't think there is a problem with having no source. Much the same as that windows runs on any pc regardless off driver support. (ok drivers are needed for peripherals but windows runs well on intel as on amd as on VIA
OP sir the anwser is no.
Thank you.

Bored by famous smartphones OS alternatives

Hey guys,
are you not being bored by your smartphone OS time by time?
Well i have been throught Symbian (on Nokia and Motorola) then Windows Mobile 6 and at by now Android (from beginning till JB). But i have to admit i am getting bored. Even though Android is the evolving itself it stays in ground the same.
Windows Phone 7/8 was exciting me but since i tried "Phone seven launcher" on Android and WP7 phones in stores i was not so interested anymore.
Now i have ordered a blackberry with OS7 updatable to 10 hopefully. Maybe thats kinda new :/
What innovative smartphone OS'ses could excite you/me?
Thanks for tipps!
Cheers
I want to make my own OS, with two expandable bars. On the left, there will be notifications. On right, there will be weather, clock, day/month/year and other sh*t I would like to see on Android.

I really wanted one of the phones that use WebOS, but both Palm & HP made them with sub par specs that I just skipped them.
It wold be awesome if Google incorporated some of the WebOS thns into Android, since a good chunk of it is FOSS.

Seeing as they already scooped up the head of webos design (Matias Duarte) I'd say Google agrees.

It isn't that easy as it looks, and I don't have my One X, because screen is broken. It's black, but if it turns on, touch does not work. How? I don't f*cking know
EDIT: And I'm stuck with battery draining (10-30% per 3 hours) Xperia X1. I'm lucky, because I got three batteries
You ever try iOS? You might just like it. Amazon OS is pretty neat too!

Off-topic Linux thread!

Haven't seen one here so I decided to make one.
This thread is for talk about any thing Linux. Whether it be a distro, a kernel, OS, mobile Linux, anything! Keep on the topic of Linux, but feel free to talk about anything Linux!
Let me start and tell you my experience with Linux:
It started when my home computer got a virus while I was using Windows 7, tried everything to get it back. I got a recovery disk; nothing, I tried downgrading to xp; virus still persisted. I thought, let me try and use this thing (I called Linux a thing because I didn't know the word OS) a teacher recommended me trying. So I tried to install the latest build (at the time) of ubuntu, 11.04. The problem was that the screen was dim and nothing would be visible. So I had a friend come over who claims to be computer smart (not smart at all) and he said, "why not try an earlier version?" I thought "genius," so I installed it and I started using it. I loved it! It was easy to use and it was virus free! And now I am a happy user (from time to time because I need Windows for video editing) of the latest version of Linux ubuntu!

I kind of agree. Linux is an entire different animal than Winders, so it should have it's own thread.
But with the powers that be moving individual device O/T threads here, it'll just get lost in the clutter.

Some of us have tried it. We've tried to like it. The tablet interface needs to stay on tablets. It's not being afraid or resistant to change, it's that doesn't work well in the enterprise area, or is not ergonomically acceptable when it comes to touch screen lap/desktops.
The Metro interface is a reverse of what MSFT has done in the past. Instead of shoe-horning a desktop UI into a mobile device, they're trying to put the mobile device UI onto the desktop. Doesn't work that well in either instance.
It's just the start screen. The desktop I'd still there.

They both are good in there own way, but ubuntu in the future is going to be the dominate OS with Windows next and Mac third.

Not really. With legacy apps, yes. Not with the newer apps that they're trying to push.
But the point is you don't have to use the " apps"

MSFT is pushing for it. They want software to go through them like Apple does with their store.
Yes, most software isn't Metro'ed yet, but some things I would use in Windows just might eventually go that way.
This isn't a Microsoft thread. STFU about Microsoft.
Anyway, has anyone tried Elementary OS Luna? It's still in beta but I think it's great.
I looked at some reviews of it... Joli OS? It's cool, a cloud OS, you need to register annd you can acces your OS from any browser, or you can boot it off a flash drive,or install it to your hard drive...:thumbup:

For most consumers that's a good thing. I think there's always going to be a disconnect between Linux users and mainstream consumer needs. Not that I don't agree but MS is a business and Apple has invented a successful money farm that any business would be happy to replicate.
How would you guys rate Fedora? I'm thinking about trying it.

the point is not to have to carry two devices with you at all times, in order to have a full mobile OS and desktop OS. This enables you to have a mobile OS when traveling, and a desktop OS when you get home, to work, what-have-you
