After playing around, the results were instantly evident: Instant Resuming on Windows Phone 7...Quite simply, this hack disables the "Resuming..." phase when returning to an application, and instead will take you right back to where you were, instantly."</em></p><p><em> <object width="600" height="360" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/6JwCLTh0yLQ&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;ap=%26fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6JwCLTh0yLQ&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;ap=%26fmt=18" /></object></em></p><p>Windows Phone Hacker has posted instructions on how to edit the WP7 registry to enable instant resuming of applications. &nbsp;When applied, the "resuming..." phase is disabled and thus you will be able to immediately return to your application when switching between apps. &nbsp;According to the developer, this edit "disables the dehydration function of the task host" and brings some "undesirable&nbsp;but not crippling" effects. &nbsp;</p><p>If you are of the daring type and want some of the instant resuming action, take a look at the instructions and give it a try. &nbsp;The video posted above is a demonstration of the results. &nbsp;</p><p>As with any hacks, your mileage may vary and do so at your own risk. &nbsp;Let us know if you do give it a try and what your experiences were.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
