Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

Its only a registry value change to enable the extra row of tiles. For this you need to be able to manipulate registry. Samsung Ativ S, which is basically the same device as Lumia 920 has been iterop unlocked. Here you see my today screen:

Im jealous. So, how is the usability of these tiles? Some say due to very small tiles, it is useless to have those on smaller screens. How is it for you? I wish I can do this to my 1020 lol

Lovely, malware infected phones are on the way. I can already hear the moaning.

why? without further mods, only deployed apps can do higher-level stuff, and you control them. Most likely, we would get something like root tools to select which apps can escape their sandbox, and nothing would change..

Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

Not for me. Jail Breaking is one thing but to what end? There is no evidence, empirical or otherwise that this won't be more than what happens on Android 24/7, not paying developers for their work. I want to see that this won't become a portal to all kinds of malware on Windows phone. Not to mention we don't know the identities or motives of the hackers forcing open this OS claiming it does one thing but at the same time giving them unprecedented access to personal information, pass codes, banking information many of us store there all while you marvel at a few additional background colors.

I know what the OP said won't happen but I know what did happen with both IOS and Android. There is NO evidence that this won't become what happens on WP too. Especially with the number of people that protest the .99 and 1.49 cent price tag on many WP apps.

for processor overclcking, you'd need much more than root or interop unlock, and it's way more device specific.. but the rest sounds fine
and custom keyboard shortcuts!

I would think that the small tiles on a 920 with an extra row of tiles would be too small to even distinguish. What's the point? I mean, I get it on the 1520 because that has a HUGE screen, but it would just look silly on the 920...

This is what I think as well.

The only like thing I would like to have is a colour wheel to pick the exact colour I want on my tiles.

No not for me. Love my 920 as it is.

Nobody is forcing any one of you to "jailbreak" your phone, so all of you out there scared for security are safe.
I always love the freedom of choice so I say yes to jailbraking/rooting.

Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

Really? If you don't want to "jailbreak" just don't post here and move on, nobody's holding a gun to your head and making you jailbreak your phone. Stop ruining it for everyone else - if some people want to jailbreak their phone so be it but you don't have to come in here moaning and whinging about it.
You can stay stay in the walled garden and be Microsoft's b*tch for as long as you want but that doesn't mean everybody else has to. So just don't bother posting and move on. Or is that just too hard for you to do?

Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

Meh, I am not going to get too excited here. The translation is way too vague, plus it's not yet released. What's defined as Jaipbreak? Dev unlock? Interop? Full?

So until there's a release I am going not to care. Once its released and it is evident what in includes, I might be interested.

You are seriously asking this? Give me a break...

Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

I would have opted for phandroid/hayphone if I wanted anything to do with jailbreaking.

Nobody is being Microsoft's b***h here. We are just pointing out the downsides of jailbreaking your device. There is no need to come here charging in like an angry bull and make an angry comment. The problem is that even if few people jailbreak, the effects will be felt by everybody else. As some people pirate apps, devs will lose interest, and that is something we really dont want happening.

Re: Lumia 920 Jailbreaking Coming Soon

That must be why iOS and Android are not the worlds top development platform then?

it makes me laugh when people say this won't work on a non 1080p device. Take his screenshot and make it fit perfectly on your screen. On my 1020, those smaller tiles are still PERFECTLY usable. They are not much smaller than what is already on our devices.

To be fair, this was going to happen whether people wanted it or not. Might as well watch from the sidelines and let those who welcome it, enjoy it.
