Windows 7 phone (NO SETUP NEEDED-Beta 2 (update)
This is beta 2 of OS7, with this beta there are the following updates:
OS7 FAQ's by GaN-MaN
Q. My phone keeps going into safe mode.
A. We are aware that it has conflicts with some other mobilesubstrate plugins. If you have installed iProtect or iBlacklist then either delete the app/s via Cydia or disable them via SBSettings (available via Cydia) by going to SBSettings-> More-> Mobilesubstrate Addons, and turning them off.
Q. My multitasking isn't working.
A. This is also another issue Wynd is working on. Multitasking currently only works when you're in an app. An alternative would be to download Multifl0w from Cydia.
Q. I forgot to back up my default theme on Backboard, how do i get back to it?
A. Easiest way is to disable via SBSettings (available via Cydia) by going to SBSettings-> More-> Mobilesubstrate Addons, and turning OS7 off.
Q. Will there be more live tiles?
A. Wynd and the community is working on more live tiles and will be in the final release. Note that live tiles do use up a lot of RAM so we dont recommend having more live tiles on older devices.
Q. How do we move the tiles around?
A. Currently being worked on too. Will be released in future updates. The solution at this point is to remove the pins and pin them in the order you want them in. Available in beta 2.
Q. My Camera doesn't work anymore, it always brings me to my Camera Roll.
A. We are working on that and the fix will be coming in future updates. An alternative for now is to download another Camera App. Camera works fine if you are on 4.2.1. Just have to use the Camera on the second page. Available in beta 2 (need to
Q. Where's my spotlight gone?
A. Wynd is working on bringing spotlight back and it will be in future releases.
Q. When i pin my icons to the start page, i get a small square icon inside a big square.
A. We are working on creating more icons for your favourite apps. Each app has to be made individually for the custom WP7 look. Alternatively you can download rpgpromaster's icon set here.
Q. Is there going to be a lockscreen with this?
A. I am currently working on a lockscreen for this and it will be in future releases.
Q. I'm having difficulties downloading this theme.
A. Make sure you are downloading the theme from your iPhone. Go to Safari and look for this thread and download that way.
Q. Will there be any badges with this?
A. This is being worked on and will be included in future releases. Available in beta 2 in the top right corner for now. Future releases will include the option to change font size and positioning.
Q. Will you incorporate folders with this?
A. We shall see about this. At the moment we can use Categories (available via Cydia) to make folders since we can make icons for them and have a wallpaper, etc.
Q. I donated already and the pop-up is still there.
A. It is just a donation pop-up and you will get a non pop-up version sent to you via email soon but it takes time to send out all these emails. Please be patient and we will get this out to you as soon as possible.
Q. Some of my icons have a ? in place of the icon.
A. We are working on fixing that at the moment and will be included in future releases.
Q. Will there be colour mods with this?
A. We are working on that and it will be included in future releases. Looking for an easier way to apply the colour mods.
How do we set the weather to our location?
A. You will have to go to "User/Library/OS7/Tiles/com.apple.weather/Library/wydget.js" and edit the ???????? in this line of code with the location you get from here.
Its the second line. (The "" must be kept there. It must also be an 8 digit/letter code.)
transforms you
Code: new york USNY0996
localStorage.setItem("zipCode", "????????");A. If its a Cydia app then you'll have to delete via Cydia, but for the standard apps you'll have to switch back to default to delete. A fix will be coming in future releases.
Q. How do we make large tiles?
A. This is being worked on and will be coming in a future release. Available in beta 2. (in the Info.plist of the app you want to make large, add two lines before
Code:
</dict> </plist>
Code:
<key>isLargeTile</key> <string>YES</string>
Q. Will slide gestures be included in this?
A. It is currently available in beta 2 and will be included in the final release.

.......................UPDATED LINK AND INFO BELOW (BETA 2)...........................
Hello all beta testers,This is beta 2 of OS7, with this beta there are the following updates:
>> Fixed: Camera launches Photos, Music launches Videos - Previously, the camera application will launch the Photos application and the music application will launch the videos application. This has now been fixed. Note: This does mean that there is a new naming convention, previously camera and photos both used "com.apple.mobileslideshow" now they use "com.apple.mobileslideshow-Camera" and "com.apple.mobileslideshow-Photos" respectively. Music, videos, and iPod now also use "com.apple.mobileipod-AudioPlayer", "com.apple.mobileipod-VideoPlayer", and "com.apple.mobileipod-MediaPlayer" respectively. If your device is 4.2+, then photos will be "com.apple.mobileslideshow" and camera "com.apple.camera".
>> Badges - badges will now display on the top right corner of any application tile. However there is a slight bit of lag when badges are updating, this will be fixed in later updates. In the future, badge positioning and font size will be customizable.
>> Option to make "large" (photo) tiles - Previously, the photos tile was the only tile that had the ability to be "large", now by simply specifying a isLargeTileYES to any tile will give the desired effect.
>> Slide to Application list without using arrow (Slide gesture) - Slide gestures are available, simply slide left or right anywhere to switch between the tiles or the application list.
>> Fixed: Memory leak - that previously caused the memory to become horribly low.
>> Move tiles without unpinning everything - click and hold on any tile to move up or down.
More features will be available in the future.
