i mean something like, if a member found a program that he/she
realy found usefull. or crap, or it bugerd up there xda2 whatever
I dunno what you think ?

Why specifically XDA2? Most software is not even XDA-specific, but will run on PocketPCs in general. Other sites are much more specialised in talking about new PPC software. What would be our edge ?

there's a dedicated section for these things! USE SEARCH!
oh wait... it's 5 years ago...
i'm driven by a crazed scottish person raiding the forum.

Maybe I should bump this thread then: http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=723154

are you threatening me? i'll sue! i swear i'll sue! this will be the end of DaveShaw "the man who has no spaces between his first name and last name"!

well if it is true.. go to the wizard universal thread.. find some people to pitch in the $50 then when the phone is in hand we could dump the rom repackage it and then provide it to everyone else free of charge
Sounds like a great idea, unless someone here can get his paws on ti crossbow and mod it for us to test on our devices
I thought i have posted this in General, sorry about that, please mods move it into a proper place

After all these posting, I am slowing down flashing on these new ROMs. Great works, but.... I under why people are angry for stupid things....
Just thinking... Don't we all asking questions??
I bet those who think they are so smart talking to MS programmer, and I bet you they probably doing the same to them... I like for those who uses "stupid" language to think, you are noob once that asking same type of questions.
While you still at school, and you asking dumb question to you teacher. Do you think your teacher has the "rights" to call you "dumb f**k"??
We'll appreciate for those whom done all the hard works. We'll remember and respect them.
ROFL
Cheer up guys
PS. Was this a public forum? I think every forum has its own policy. I also know every forum have few moderators in charges, wasn't it? I do see more chiefs than Indian here...

Flash to a new ROM is good, but you have to know what is important to you. If the Pcoket Controller is a must for you, then use the ROM that will works.
Or Google around, you might be surprise.

I guess you don't have kids who ask the same question many times a day and every day of the week for months - it becomes irritating. You're right, a teacher doesn't have the right to swear at a child but this is an open forum, most of the users are adults.
Even it's title 'XDA DEVELOPERS' implies a certain amount of pre-knowledge and an ability to undertake original research.
So, if you ask a stupid question which has been answered before, you don't look for your own answers first, and cry when being told you're a ****wit I suggest you start up an 'XDA politically correct, non abuse, group therapy n hugs' site.

POLL: Start new forums for other devices: O2, Samsung, Gigabyte

Hi friends! I just want to start a poll for voting if we want to have a forum for other non-HTC devices, like the following list:
-O2 (like stealth, atom pure, etc)
-Toshiba
-Samsung
-Gigabyte
In the initial time I think that a separate forum for each manufacturer would be ok...
Basically we are here to share knowledge and expertise about using these great devices, and I think that will be great to add this new forums because while the community is becoming more popular, more users are here to research how to enhance their productivity...
Thanks in advance!
Yeah, I agreed to that. Voted already.
i want a forum for Eten x800 VGA with tri-band 3G!
y wouldnt u! Eten x800 is so much better then tytn/hymes.
pros and cons
well if we open up to more manufactures, this would mean more traffic, more knowledge on general forums and more people to donate to this great cause but these are busy forums anyway and the mods and admin have lives to lead. the extra burden is on them so either they appoint more admins and mods or leave it as it is. but as the name is xda developeras maybe they should allow other xda phones from o2.....
Hey, I don't want to scroll even further down!
Seriously, one should be able to hide the unwanted forums.
Hey, I'm trying for four months to get an HTC Cavalier forum on this site and it aint happening. So don't bother.
Cheers
just FYI: whatever the outcome of the poll, this site will be staying HTC only.
why?

Q: the T-Mobile Shadow (HTC Kii) was released, any chance to place its own forum?

I highly agree with new forums for other devices. I think we can find many great software in other manufacture devices as in HTC devices.

Ipaq hx4700 Forum? (HTC Roadster)

What about a forum for the ipaq hx4700? I know that this website is for HTC PDAs but, the hx4700 was also called the Roadster in some markets and made by HTC. Considering that there's a thread over in the upgrading section with 595,000 views and almost 2000 posts on the hx4700 (and that's just one thread) I think there would be a strong interest in a dedicated forum. Many of the posts are from newbies and not by developers but we do have Kozhura and Menneisyys and many other dev types who have posted quite alot about this device in the past, with Kozhura now on his 4th version of WM6. There seems to be a big following for this device even now with a kitchen having been adapted by vivi to suit it. It would be great to have our own corner somewhere on this wonderful site for our community.
Thank you for the consideration.

Yes, sounds a very good idea
Dirk
Great idea!
Based on what I was able to see this had a 2003 rom and came out in 2004.
We have added a lot of forums for the new devices and I am not sure if there will be enough users to justify a section a few years late.

That is true, however HP did do a (poor) WM5 upgrade and there are at least two unofficial WM6 ROMs. The hx4700 was ahead of its time and still powerful compared to many on the market today; probably because it doesn't have an inbuilt phone.
There is this thread which is nearly up to 2,000 posts; many of the smart phone forums on XDA developers have nowhere near as many posts in total.
If there was a forum just for the hx4700, then maybe that would entice other hx4700 owners to join up to talk things other than just the ROMs.
I bet there are a few super users that would be happy to moderate a dedicated kx4700 forum too?
You guys don't give up do you ?
OK I admit you do have a valid point. I will put it forward to the sysadmin for a section under
Other HTC manufactured phones
Thank you
Thanks again for the consideration. It is an old device but I think there's quite a bit of interest in it.

Touchscreen calibration file for hx4700 needed
Hello hx4700 users,
i need your help. I have screwed up ma calibration data and get stuck in an alignment loop.
Can anyone of you be so kind and send me their touchscreen calibration file als described in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2416566
Your help is greatly appreciated.
THANKS
thank u for the reviwe
maybe late but still great...i have a bit of roblem with screen,but the rest is ok...and it really was ahead of it's time
I'm also interested in this. I think it would fuel discussing on the hx4700
Hi, on my hx4700 (alkor wm6.1) when I paired my bluetooth audiphones, it`s fine,just if it is like new, no progrmas, but whe I charge some progrmas, I can`t connect the devices, there are no way to use it.
Just when the ipaq is just hard reseted. Anybody know what happen?

Looking for help with Tilt 2 w/broken mic.

My first Tilt 2 got some water damage and no longer has microphone ability. Can anyone cook me up a rom with no phone stuff? A tilt tablet so to speak. It does everything else perfectly even bluetooth works and will handle calls. But as you all can see this streak is my main device. I would like to outfit it with tts and other augmentive communications for my Autistic boy. A mini computer so to speak. It is already running roms as I am no stranger here. Maybe ondra can give this a whirl. My axim is mint but aging in the view of froyo on my Streak. It is not suited for the task of mini pc. A nice Rom with no phone apps and no drivers pointing to the radio.... No radio... What have you. You guys would know better than me.
Any help would be appreciated. Funds are tight. But just ask anyone, I'm not shy with donations.
Thanks for reading.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
why not just take the sim card out? everything will still work except the phone and texting. the internet will still work if u have a wifi connection.
OMG!
Why of course What a Simple Solution!....
You obviously miss the entire scope of WHY ROM building exists my friend. With the ability to have a cooked Rom on a smaller footprint within the device. Smaller Roms can free up pagepool memory with the right kitchen and cook. Apps can be installed into ROMS. Heck even tweaked to be more "embedded" into the OS or the GUI etc etc... do I really have to get into all of it with you...? I mean come on, why are you here if you don't know "why" XDA exists?
Anyone can workaround this idea..... I want to streamline the ROM as I have done with the Axim X51v in the past. Heck I'm even putting a new Rom on that Axim AS, I type this.... and my other Fully working Tilt later today....
Where do you think my SIM card was and is, when I started my thread from my STREAK?
Uh, Hello! Thanks for your reply though!
Honestly what's with the attitude? You could have just said that instead of going off on one just because he/she suggested something!
OK you want a ROM without all the phones stuffs to free more ROM/RAM but was there any need for your attitude in your reply??
I mean come on, why are you here...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why are you here if you can't be more civilized against another members reply, whether it is not what you're looking for or not... You could have quite easily said his/hers reply was of no help to you
The perceived attitude comes from the evident lack of Internet Etiquette.... Civilized.... Read on Man You 2 aren't even following simple forum rules and common sense.
To answer your question directly..."You could have just said that instead of going off"
THAT "WAS" STATED in the first post! My Goodness another one!
Had the individual bothered to exercise simple courtesy through reading - they would have read this excerpt.... from the first post. and NOT asked it in his reply.
I wrote... "as you all can see, this streak is my main device"
This indicates that the SIM CARD IS indeed in my streak and not inside the damaged Tilt 2. The existence of the text itself conveys my desire to have this information KNOWN to the reader.
I end with this... Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
This also confirms that I am on the STREAK writing the post from the device containing the SIM Card.
Do you get that.... ? They ignore the REASON XDA EXISTS... and the SECTION HEADER ENTITLED MOBILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. He ignores the CONTENT of the thread and DISCARDS the FACTS of the MATTER within my post.
HE then asks me a question that was and would have been answered for him... already had he exercised simple internet etiquette.
And then look at you... you come on and Say.. WHy didn't you just say that.... You ask me to REPEAT MYSELF!
Well, I did by referencing the first post instead of hand holding and typing it all again!!!! Mind you friend, YOU SKIPPED OVER IT TOO. Now that's 2 of you.. off topic and asking for hand-holding.
So do me the favor and stop ignoring common sense, forum and internet etiquette, the topic and category section titles... and then ask someone to hold your hand and explain it... When it WAS ALREADY EXPLAINED.... Do you see the problem here?
I asked for ROM development help at XDA in Windows Mobile Development...
His question and post would not have existed if he and YOU bothered to note. WHERE we are, Where I posted... and What the Facts of the case were.
Simple... I'm not being rude, nor do I have an attitude... These thing cannot be inferred or gleaned through TEXT. I'm just pointing out the truth. How you handle said truth is not my affair.
Although I appreciate you chiming in... Please if you cannot help me with my REQUEST that I have posted in the appropriate place... I'd like to reserve the commentary to those who wish to help out and talk about COOKING up a STREAMLINED ROM for my AUTISTIC BOY to get more out of the device in it's current state. I do not wish to be called to view every reply that is as out of touch as the two of these are.
If anyone wishes to mull over the particulars of the START of the thread and haggle about it in such a way as depicted in the previous posts that are in reply... please start your own thread and I will link to it. This way everyone else who chooses to "NOT" read the THREAD STARTING POST and UNDERSTAND my request will have a place that they can all be confused together and ignore each other in peace.
I did not post... Hey what can I do with my Tilt 2 in the general forums, now did I?
I'll say one thing:
This is WINDOWS MOBILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT forum yeah?
you are looking to have a ROM for your TILT 2?
Why not post in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
And since you want a ROM DEVELOPED for you, try posting it in the correct forum?
I don't want to go to your level of Incompetence but it seems I had to....
This is not development, it's a request. Does not belong here. If you were making a ROM and had something to share, then perhaps, though a device forum would be better to use.
