Develop Bugs

New feature: XDA-developer encyclopedia

I've built a system where certain words get underlined, and if you let the cursor linger there, a small explanation of that term appears.
This is controlled from the XDA-developer encyclopedia forum, where each topic is a term, and everyone can add explanations.
For instance: the word Wallaby has been underlined with a thin green dotted line. If you linger there, you should get the encyclopedia entry for it.
I'm starting to create some entries, but please all feel free to add entries for difficult terms.

WoooooW that's great idea
Hello Peter Poelman
thanks for providing this new feature and great idea.
keep up the good work and good luck
regards.

Hi there,
cool feature. But it works only with the InternetExplorer.
No helping popup with Netscape 7.1.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:

Popup Killers
I use Panicware's popup killer, internet advertising's gotten way outta hand, which cancels out your forum's popups. There are ways to set the XDA forum as a url not to kill popups. As more and more people try to get rid of these popups, you may suffer with your new feature.
You'd thing these advertisers would learn from the home phone soliciting ... I disconnected my home phone service cuz it got so bad (50+ unsolicited calls a day!).
Maybe if we all disconnect the web, these advertisers will get the message ... yeah, right!
Kill all pop-up advertising, pay what-ever it takes but kill these advertisers!
There, I'm better now .. back to XDA'ing ..

WM6 - Instant Messaging Possibility (programmers look here)

Alright everyone I did some research and I've found a few things... I dont kno if anyones heard of it but there is a beta program out for messaging made by a company called Causerie. You can download the beta from here (http://causerie.mantragroup.com/down...senger-1.0.zip) There is a 15 day trial period but the layout looks excellent. For some reason it doesnt support landscape mode (they are probably trying to fix it) but it looks like an excellent program... perhaps the cab can be decompiled and we can implement it with the Jabber service which supports aim! Im new to programming and wouldnt even kno where to start but I thought if I could give some info to the more talented people on the forum maybe I could start something.... If no one is interested maybe in a few months (more like years) I will gain enough knowledge to attempt this little endeavor but for now Im just a newbie with a vision.... thanks for listening!!!!!

I don't understand what you want programmed besides the landscape support, a feature which can be pushed to the developer to speed up in delivering. The app already supports Jabber, so why bother reinventing the wheel?
Unless you're too stingy to pay for the software (USD 19.99), and rather spend time or hope other people can develop it so you can get it for free, then I'm really stumped with your intentions... do tell
Not to flame you or anything of that intent, but really there are many IMs out there that work well, even Agile Messenger and IM+.....

"Perhaps the CAB can be decompiled and we can implement it with...." ? WTF are you talking about? Clearly you know nothing about software developement.

If youre just wanting AIM, there is the old hacked AIM for WM5, that has also been modified to install to WM6, and it works fine..for free, I see you mention jabber for AIM access.
But if you want it, youll have to do some searching..though you might be very close without even knowing it.

i deleted what was here

BRLE Vogue Kitchen AKU.0.7.0 [001]

This is my second attempt at making a Vogue Kitchen. The first was released on HowardForums for cricKet users.
This kitchen is based off of XIP Ported CE OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0. It can be used to build ROMs for the following carriers: Alltel, cricKet, Sprint, Generic.
I tried to find a happy medium for the pagepool and set it at 12MB. You can change the pagepool before you flash if you'd like. Raising the pagepool to say 16MB would increase the speed of the phone but would cause you to have less program memory. Just use the tool included in the RUU folder.
What is included:
Upgrade drivers and XIP to 1.17 ship rom
Upgrade base to CE OS 5.2.1933 Build 18533.0.7.0

Some big THANK YOUs to:
- Amoamare for his work on the Apache's cricKet extended ROM and for working to get cricKet customizations added to the Apache kitchen
- DogGuy at PPCGeeks for his work on the 6800 kitchen and answering my questions as I worked on the Vogue Kitchen based on 1.12.651.1 Sprint ROM
- Everyone DogGuy thanked for helping him get his kitchen up and running
- Sfaure at PPCGeeks for his work on the Bluetooth stack
- dcd1182 at xda-developers for his excellent work on XIP Porting of the updated CE OS and bearing with all my questions
- to0 at HowardForums for his excellent input/support and work on the serial program and his two ROMs
- jammis, berry_lthird, and jimska78 at HowardForums for helping me test the Vogue ROMs/Kitchen when I didn’t even own a Vogue which gave me a much better overall understanding of ROM/Kitchen development
-my wife's poor phone and all the abuse it took (i kept "borrowing" it from her at night)
-everyone else on these forums for your input and support
DISCLAIMER: As with any other custom ROM/Kitchen, there is a risk of damaging your device. I offer no warranties in the event this happens. Please do realize, however, that there haven't been any permanent casualties reported. So far, the worst that has been reported is getting stuck in bootloader mode (multi-color screen). If this happens to you, don't freak out. Head over to PPCGeeks, and read this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=9229. If you're unable to get past a specific splash screen, you may need to manually put your device into bootloader mode and install a different ROM.
A Stock Sprint Ship ROM can be found here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_WWE_1.12.651.1_2.13.00_SPC_NV133_Ship.exe
Your phone will need to be unlocked using the Vogue Unlocker by ImCoKeMaN of PPCGeeks. This will allow you to flash custom ROMs. Please don't PM me asking how to use this. If you don't know, you probably shouldn't be doing this.
ftp://ppcgeeks:[email protected]/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker.exe
Now that that's out of the way... here's the link; you'll need WinRAR:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BRLE_Vogue_Kitchen_AKU_0_7_0_01212008.zip
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTE: You will be prompted for a serial once you install and boot into any ROM made from this kitchen. You will not be able to do anything without a serial (aside from flash a new ROM).
Here's how the serial process works: You'll be shown a code when you first boot. Send that code to the email displayed on your phone screen and I'll send you a corresponding serial to unlock the ROM.
I will give out one free serial per ROM per username on HowardForums, XDA-dev, or PPCGeeks. This is more a test of something to0 and I have been playing with rather than anything for profit as well as preventing people from selling our work. In order to obtain a serial, you must have at least 15 posts, with the majority of them being at least a little bit constructive. Serials will not change as long as you keep the same phone number so write them down for future use.
I seem to have broken the ##3424 code in some aspects of this build but not for all carriers. I will work on it and hopefully post an update in a couple days. In the meantime, make sure you change your SPC and configure your MDN MIN and all other EPST settings before flashing if you haven't done so already. ##778 and all other codes work.
I will be around if you need a code. PLEASE NO PMs. Only email the address displayed on your phone screen or use the contact info below. Or you can contact to0 (aka mooingrhinocero in the cricKet section of HowardForums for a Vogue code)
AIM: mrfluffball
AIM: to0g
Hofo: mooingrhinocero
If you choose a carrier autorun, your serial may try to run at the same time. Don't worry about it. Just let your autorun finish and it will auto soft-reset for you. If you don't have an autorun, just tap the "OK" and the device will reset.
Make sure to use ReadMe.pdf and Enjoy Flashing with the Vogue Kitchen!! If you change your pagepool, please leave feedback in a couple days so we can compare results. Amoamare, I'd love to include your cricKet theme if it's finished and you are willing to share. Please let me know. dcd1182 and sd_matto, if you have any suggestions or feedback I would be grateful for them. Please post any bugs and if you have an OEM you would like me to test and include in the next build please let me know. I will be working on cleaning up the Sprint and Alltel junk this week and at some point creating support for Bell and Telus ROMs. If anyone who is well versed in ROM building wishes to assist me, I would welcome the help.

I can't wait for this!!!
Verizon just released their phone with GPS... with that included this would be a perfect ROM ( already is )
Thanks!!

sounds like a good list, blee.
thx, we'll give it a try a send feedback on it

I appreciate all the work that you guys put into these ROMs but I feel compelled to point out that, at the time of my post, you only have 14 posts on this forum. To me that is a bit hypocritical. True, it is your ROM and therefore your rules, but that just does not jive with me.
Though I only have 4 measly posts (until this one) I think that you shouldn't have to have a minimum post amount just to try a kitchen. But again, it is your work, so you get to make the rules...
And I would be frustrated more if I wanted to try your work out. But I am happy with my Touch modded the way it is, so I gues sI am just speaking out for other people who are in a similar post position as me but did want to try out your kitchen.

I can appreciate where you are coming from. I tend to post more at Howard Forums and occasionally PPCGeeks. Like I said in the first post, the serial thing is more a test than anything else. I'm not looking to make a profit off of it. If you have very few posts but think you are a legitimate contributor to the forums and want to try my kitchen then by all means email me or catch me on AIM and let's get you a serial. This is mainly geared to weed out the people who were selling ROMs other people had made and posted over at Howard Forums. dcd1182 does this out of enjoyment as do I. I just don't think its fair (not to mention copyright issues) for someone to go out selling beta material.

Thanks for including Bell/Telus config in your kitchen?
It will allow us to customise our "own".

exactly, how come someone with only 15 posts can copy a senior members (with over 300 posts) work and take credit for it

its not like that, my kitchen uses the great work of other people and if i didnt want others using my stuff i wouldnt post it. i just dont think the thanks section here is exactly proportionate.

I'm not looking to steal anyone's work. DCD did an excellent job porting. That was something I didn't even know how to do three weeks ago and am just beginning to understand.
But that being said, I've given credit numerous times through this thread for his work. Maybe you guys can break apart OEMs and separate out the parts of a ROM in a matter of hours but I know how much time I took (since December 1, 2007 when I did a very shabby cricKet kitchen COMPLETELY BY MYSELF based on 1.12.651.1) to learn rather than just try to leech.

I personally broke down the OEM folders and a few of the SYS folders in this ROM. I went through and made numerous registry changes, wrote provxml files, and a few OEMs. Not to mention the hours/weeks I spent testing the ROMs and correcting errors and duplicate files. To say that I've completely stolen someone's work is unfair. If you feel more credit is due to you or to DCD then by all means take it. I sure appreciate your input, support, and feedback and respect your advice a great deal. Probably more than you realize. This is a hobby for me. I just figured others could enjoy it even if it's not as great a release as DCD's final release will be. I'm not looking for it to be. He provided a base and I'm learning and taking on the challenge of knowing the in's and out's of XIP Porting so I can do it myself in the future. But if you're going to complain of not giving credit where its due then please at least respect the time I've put into it.
I'm proud of the small role I've played in this kitchen especially the personal knowledge I gained but DCD if you'd rather I pull this kitchen down, I'll gladly do it. I'm not trying to step on anyone's toes. Just trying to give back what little I can/have learned with help to/from everyone in these online phone forum communities. Please don't take this the wrong way.

dcd,
This is exactly why I didn't take much of a look at this kitchen. It just seemed like something wasn't quite on the level here. I was worried about using anything that that didn't have your stamp of approval. Then when I saw a post in your ROM thread annoucing the kitchen I really got concerned.

I'm not even going to waste my time saying a whole lot except that you and I both know all the times I've helped you out before when you PMed so please don't sit there and unnecessarily flame me. If you don't like the thread and it "concerns" you then move on and don't use it. Wait for his release if it makes you more comfortable. But don't go just to say something is not on level when you haven't even used it much less read all the thank you's I made in the ReadMe talking about BUILDING UPON OTHER'S WORK.

blee,
I may have distorted what I was saying. First, I don't want to take credit from what you have done. You obviously know way more about ROM development than what I do. It is also obvious that you spent much time working on this kitchen. For that I commend you.
This is just kind of a touchy thing. You get into an issue of intellectual content intrusion. Unfortunity you kind of walk a fine line. I have seen this happen before in other forums where good people leave the forum because of stupid arguments. I would much rather see you two work together and share the brain trust as opposed to losing either one of your developments. It appears to me that we lack large levels of cooperation because of what ever reason. It would great to see big group colabratives. I bet we could really so some major developments with talented people who contribute to this site.
So, in closing my comments made earlier were only to say from looking from the outside in, I knew we were running into a situation where two knowledgable people were not going to see eye to eye. I honestly don't know either one of you, but I hope both of you will be open enough to discuss this, work together, and continue to be contributing members of this community.
Good luck to all!

Yes I agree blee has help me on more than one occasion. My comments were not thought out before typing in my first post. My only concern is for the good of the forum. I am removing my original post as it was typed unfairly. I really just want everyone who comes to this forum to continue to grow from eachothers experiences and findings. I have always thought that's the point of the forum in the first place is to share knowledge. So blee, I apologize to you for over reacting or reacting at all. It's really none of my business.
I hope all contributors keep up their great work in this forum so dopes like me can continue to learn.

yeh i think everyone needs to relax a little its jsut a kitchen/ROM its not life or death here. Its great we have a kitchen and if DCD wants to release his own and do different things cool, we have 2 choices! Its all for the good of the community. As long as no ones making money off eachother than i think everyone needs to take a chill and relax IMO
and i think the serial from the developer is a great idea be it a little bit of a pain (maybe one day can be an automated email or such). But thats what you have to do when theres dishonest people in the world who want to make a buck off your work. I think its a good idea to explore to keep it from being sold on ebay by scammers.

No hard feelings. I stand by my post. If dcd wishes that I remove the kitchen from this forum then I will do so. If I don't hear anything then please let's get this thread back on track so we can make it better as a community. I need your help and feedback which doesn't happen unless you actually try the ROMs.
One thing that's already been mentioned is that AL_Bkgd.brn is in each of the following three folders. If you select a home plugin and the action screen together you will have a conflict running BuildOS.
OEM_brle_Cube_Icons_Blue
OEM_brle_Cube_Icons_Yellow
OEM_HTC_Action_Screen
This is resolved by:
Just manually delete that file from one of the folders either Blue/Screen or Yellow/Screen before you flash or delete it from all three and place it in OEMAPPS. I'll move it back to the OEMAPPS folder for next time.

I will tell you right now why there is not that much cooperation here... The Touch is not a cheap phone in any sense and not many people are willing to accept the risks when it comes to flashing a custom ROM to their device so there goes your testers and there goes your potential users.
On another Note...
You know it's almost kinda funny how a bunch of grown men and women are arguing over this. I know a lot of work goes into creating a kitchen and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't know the first thing about it but to argue over this is pointless, just work together and make an even better kitchen for EVERYONE to use.
So what if some jackass is trying to sell custom ROMs that they made using this kitchen... That's ignorant and disrespectful to the author in many ways but it is their business. They're going to do what they're going to do one way or another so why make the honest people have to pay for the idiots doing this? Right now you have it set up so that you need a serial just to use the ROM they build using your kitchen. As a veteran, I can tell you that this is almost like basic training... Everybody is getting punished because of a couple, or just one, idiot doing something stupid.
I spent A LONG TIME over in the Wizard forum here on Xda-Developers and once I used a kitchen to build my own ROM, I've never had to wait for a reply to an email I had no other choice but to send to use MY custom work just because I used someone else's as a base to start. I take no credit for anything you have done but why should I be penalized because I want to try your work? And to make it even worse... It sometimes takes several attempts to get a custom ROM to be just the way you want it and if I have to pay for each serial I need after the first one, there's only one other ROM I will be flashing and that is the original OEM ROM from Sprint and HTC. I work 80 hours a week and now I can't even do the one thing I enjoy doing in my free time because some guy thinks its a cool idea to pick and choose who gets to use his kitchen and who doesn't using a serial number... Ridiculous...
Last time I checked, the OEM ROM is free... The unlocker is free... There has never been a serial for anything I have ever flashed or used unless it was SHAREWARE and I DAMN sure will not pay for a custom OS when I can use the one provided on my phone for free.
I think you are in over your head trying to restrict usage of this kitchen to only people approved by yourself. If you are going to post this here and make it public, remove the restrictions so people can use it as they please and start posting custom ROMs to the forum. Yes there are going to be dishonest people who use your kitchen to try to make a few dollars but then again I have seen that over in the Wizard forum as well and not one of the people over there who have ever created a kitchen have done this... If you are not going to make this public and free to 100% of the people here who might want to use it, then you should take it down and request the thread be removed because that is not how things are done in this forum. Just look around... You'll see... Just look at your feedback to this thread and that should be enough...
Having said that, Have a nice day.
Dan.
But whatever... It's your work.

Blee, I have to agree with RainFreak... The minimum post thing is not in the spirit of cooperation. I TOTALLY agree with you about someone taking your work and selling it! Those guys should be ferreted out and banned. Most of the good people on this site and others are here to collaborate and learn. Placing artificial hoops to jump through is counter-productive to the spirit of this forum...

Help Needed - I'm desperate!!!!

Hello,
I desperately need some help. So please, please can somebody rescue me....
My girlfriend bought a HTC Touch Dual from ebay which was locked to the Orange Network in the UK. I tried to unlock the phone for her so she could use her Vodafone SIM and have made a right mess! I used an eight-step process on one of the threads on this forum and got completley lost.
Firstly, I don't really know what I'm doing, and have no idea what a 'radio', 'rom', etc is. In fact, in reading these forums I realise how out of my depth I am.
Would somebody be able to help me out. Not necesarily with unlocking, but just getting the unit back to working order - i.e. so the cameras work, the sound works, the screen responds to my taps, the wireless card works, etc...
Please remember I know nothing about these machines, so you will need to use VERY simple explanation!!
Thank you in advance,

My best advice is, try and flash a rom on the device for the device(learn how to first, you don't need to know all the details involved just the process, and what to download), then buy a cheap unlocking solution online.
I would suggest this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021.
Here is how to flash a rom on to an HTC device: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide

Thank you for your help...
I'll take a look at your links.
Still don't know what a 'radio' or a 'ROM' is! Any clues welcome...
Thanks again - I appreciate it

I have had a look at the links and am completely lost.
Please don't underestimate my lack of mobile I.T. skills - I really don't know what I'm doing!
Can anyone simply tell me what to do, step-by-step, without any jargon, to get a workable handheld?
Mabe this will set the scene... Imagine you need to explain it to an 80 year old Grandmother...
Thanks again

The Perfect APP !!!

Hello guys, I have idea about the Perfect APP and who is able to make such thing will become a Millionaire with sure.
1st wana say im not a programer and i just have the right idea.. i cannot do it by myself but i decide to write it here and maybe some of you can be interested.
Its hard really but its inovation and worth the time because will change almost everything.
Now every single day we clearly can see that more and more the peoples start using they Pocket PC to surf in the net than the regular methood so.. all costumers LOVE the direct application.. like YouTube PLayer.. like many other because they dont need to open a browser and to type there the url.. and to wait to load.. they prefer ready APPs because is alot more easyer, Faster and Smooth with one single click you are there where you wana be.
My idea is:
Single Program.. that will be conected to a web address, in the web address can have actual INFO of alost everything.. from Wheater, Finances, Cinema, News, Sport, Flight tickets and many more.. you name it..depends how hard you wana do it..
So imagine one single APP in your device.. when you run it.. directly to appear like web page all the INFOs and you just choice what you wana chek today.. also will recognize the Country AREA and will show you exactly the INFO you need.
For example if you are from UK... when the app load you will be able to see the curency GBP to all other.. the corect wheater for your city, what movies will be played in the Cinema, Events, News and all this for UK... so with app like this you will be always in touch you do not need any more.. to read newspapers, or surf in internet to read some news etc.
Application like this will be inovation and will change everything in the MOBILE bussines.
This is the idea all rights reserved. If anyone is able to do such application will become Millionaire with SURE

Basically you want, iGoogle on your phone?
I'm all for it! Hopefully Google will put it on android at least, but it would be amazing to have it on wm too, the mobile web version at the moment isn't very good.

OKAY i get angry coz you cannot telling who to be Banned and etc also i think YOU do not understand the whole Thread thats why i ger angry i dont have problem with you anyway so will not write anymore
have a good day

I am perfecly clear about your wishful thinking method, man, don't worry.
I think you may skip it, like i said. Nobody will serve ya, like i said.
and - like i said - software able to do what you say is made long time ago, but people like ya are too lazy to make their own scripts to solve your wishes.
Nobody will make it for ya, i think. Nobody.
For 5 years i have seen many beggars, you know.
More - i can see final stage of decay of WM just because of lazy bums.
for such people i lost here two accounts already(c.a. 4k of posts here and >10k there, y'know)
Bye and do not comment my post, please, because i do not want to lose my account because of yOU(i like to help wise people, so ban because of your bs may be painful).
I am trying to be nice, with no reason.
Any further priv issues please, send on PM. Not on public, manager. Ya should know that already.

Now i understand why you been baned befor. i was thinking to not answering anymore but its seems that you do not UNDERSTAND anything, and again writing Sh..ts about ME without to know ME and without to atack you.
1st Im not a Begger and i do not begg anyone to do a script or any program for ME, i wrote a IDEA because i cannot do it by myself if i was able to do it i will do without to write here.
2nd I know there already have similar apps But this app can be even better, simple and with alot more INFORMATION.
3rd Im not lazzy and i do not WIN or do not wana WIN anything from this.. and im shocked WHY you talk me like that? explain me please HOW i will make Money if some developer create such app because really I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU what you mean.
The final is if you cheked my post and replyes here will see that when someone need help or have questions if im able to help or i know the answers im doing this all the time..SO IM NOT LAZZY and i do not begg anyone.
I do not need application like this and i do not begg anyone to make it for ME i just give an idea if there someone create application like this will be forALL of US all mambers of XDA and all peoples around the world who have Pocket PC..
I cant understand WHY you start to write me things like this to fight when you even do not understand the IDEA and do not know anything about me?!
The Moderators can Lock this TOPIC right now i don`t mind.. because i will not write anything more here and also i do not fight with anyone without reason.. its your problem that you dont understand the IDEA.

Not YOU and NO developer. <-- that's explanation, for person with IQ >80.
Please, again, stop writing about fight, and try to think.
You are writing about idea, that pda killer company may turn into millions of dollars, while you will be simply here, arguing with me.
We may only lose arguing here, cannot you see this?
Wanna talk about this, PM me, i won't discuss anything here anymore.
Like i said - nobody will make miracle software for you here.
