Every product as versatile as the MDA Pro, deserves it's own comunity. As it's a ground-breaking device and sports a brand new operating system, there are likely to be numerous teething problems.
There are few good sources of information available for the mda pro at present, the best of which being this one. Despite containing everything you could need to know, I found it very difficult for a novice to find info quickly.
Whilst waiting for my phone to arrive, I bought the website www.mdapro.uk , I've set up a forum there, for beginners like my self, to get the full potential out of there phone / mini laptop / PDA ....
I've produced this site as I'm the proud owner of a new MDA Pro and I'm sure I can use it for more than browsing the net on the Loo. There's an obvious need for a site dedicated to the MDA Pro and I hope www.mdapro.co.uk will be helpfull to a lot of people.
www.mdapro.co.uk is for anyone who owns or is thinking of purchasing an I-mate Jasjar / MDA Pro / XDA Exec / HTC Universal or any of it's other guises.
Please join my forum and help to build a community. There's power in numbers and together we can overcome any problems each of us may have. Together we can make the proposition of upgrading to a PDA as simple and pain-free as possible.
Thanks

Tip - get some proper hosting (add-free stuff), and sort the formatting on teh front page out :/ - one slim column of text on the left with adds on teh right and nothing in teh middle.
Its a good idea though, and could probably have been integrated here somehow, providing the admins have the time and inclination to do it.
Thanks for tips!
The big blank bit in the middle is gonna contain a general phone overview, (When I get chance to write it). I've only really been concentrating on getting the forum up and running, which I think is all set up correctly now.
My hosting company seem pretty efficient so far. They were chosen on cost alone. If I get enough members to quantify upgrading, I will search for better hosting. While there's only a handfull of members, my £20 per year hosting should do just fine. At least for now. :wink:
If there's anything anyone would like including on the site, I'm more than happy to listen. Likewise to any advice or criticism.
I think making sure you and XDA Devs don't cross the same ground is important, so making sure somehow your site is providing a specific and different service.
Also, I would put a big obvious link back to XDA Devs as a courtesy.
Best of luck.
Joe
Thanks Joe,
I dont want to step on anyones toes, here. I intend my site to be specific to one phone, aimed at begginers and prospective upgraders.
Xda developers is a fantastic source of info for all levels. Its only downfall is that it is difficult for beginners, such as myself, to navigate. I want my site to fill the gap for beginners. I only really want to to include tried and tested methods on my site, rather than experimental material. I will link to xda developers for more advanced users and further reading.
I'm more than happy to include links to this site anywhere it may be relevant.
Sank5!
Just registered on your forum...
Hope it will be a success... at least I am there for you
hee i am one off the newest member i hope to learn a lot overthere.
This is my first pda ,mda so i wil putt my newbie questions there thanks anyway 8)
Thanks for your support
Thanks to everyone who's joined my forum. The sites almost completely functional now, if lacking a bit in content. We currently have a massive 20 users!
Now you've all had your MDA Pro's for a while, I'd appreciate it if you shared your experiences with us. I've been too busy with work and the site to have a good play with my phone, but I intend that to change very soon any hints / advice would be more than welcome.
Does anyone know how to capture a screen shot on the MDA Pro or run a macromedia flash movie as I am getting desperate for both.
Thanks

sank5: for screenshots check out MagicSS. Not perfect but almost.
For Flash, not really sure, but check out a thread on benchmarking the Uni. You can cross reference by searching by my username and vjsihaya.
Member there was using flash movies to benchmark.

I have a QTEK 9000. Does this mean i cannot join?
I just tried to access it now but "Cannot find server" came out.
Edited:
It's ok now, seems one ofr the links above says www.msdapro.uk when clicked
@sank5
I use Resco PhotoViewer on my device. It comes with a Screen Capture "add on" which works perfect for me.
Some "always on top" window will be opened in the middle including the button to make the shot (which can be delayed by 10 seconds if You like).
You can browse through all programs to prepare the screen as You need it before taking the shot, nicely working for me.
regards,
Ruud

Thanks All!
Got Flash Working Now, thanks to 'findus'. You can download it here:-

Works well, but much slower than the desktop version. I'm off to checkout MagicSS and Resco PhotoViewer.
Thanks Again

I just thought I'd take a moment (one previously spent fiddling with my phone) to say well done and thank you to both Tom_Codon and meschle. Which ever flavour of ROM you've decided to put on your device I'm sure you'll agree that it has breathed new life into it.
I for one feel as if I just got a new phone. I haven't soft reset since Friday (which is a shame as I do like my animated splash screens), all my apps are set up, my home screen is just the way I like it....... so what do I do now?
Congratulations guys your efforts are much appreciated and I for one look forward to finding something more constructive to do with my time than hard-resetting my phone (well for a week or two anyway).
Cheers
Matt
I totally agree with you!
It's really amazing what these guys have created.. I don't know what would make my phone better than now. It's nearly perfect, just as I need it as my constant companion.
In this way, thanks mates..
lets be careful though
.....come on guys, I know the likes of Tom and Meschle are fantastic guys - with a lot of skill....but lets not make their heads TOO big....lol
If we big them up too much HTC might hear about them and take them away from us

I think Tom and many other cooks etc are well able to beef up the skills in HTC etc, but would not last long there.
Tom likes to produce new roms every month, but will be told 'that feature you just cooked is fantastic. We can sell that as the the new feature in next years model. We dont release new features unless we can sell them with hardware'

Thanks matt - this is encouraging Lets not forget fracoon - hope you finish your rom soon your beta is very promising
Well, I only know this forum for 2 weeks, but I could say that I am really impressed of the great work done on these ROMs.
I can't imagine the amount of work it is, but for sure the result is amazing
I'd like to put my 2 pennies in as well...
Thanks guys, tom meschle, fracoon and who ever else there is... i've had my xda orbit for a while, had other xda's b4, and work with loads of xda's, but since joining this forum, my xda has hit another level...
the time and effort u guys put in, my hat goes off to u guys... ive bin trying to cook my own rom, but failed miserabley, but i'll keep trying... im sure uguys will help
thanks again guys...
I can see a new MTV show coming soon; Pimp My PPC
Bunch of Cordon Bleu chefs in the kitchen taking some sad old OEM XDA and cooking away until voila! A new pimped-up device handed over to the poor ole charity case that will be able to now proudly be seen once more down the pub with his mates (a position for me I think )
Respect Gents, you make a good product so much better
Thanks to all
I also wish to thank all the people,who make ROMs and which happen to be much better than the original one.
This forum is a knowledge base for those who owns Pocket PCs. At times it is better than the manufacturers' support pages. To those who have created the Cook ROMS, you guys has shown a thing or two of how to make a ROM stable. Keep the good work.
If i can i would give 1000 Stars to the xda forum!!!
Is is the best i personally know and i deeply hope from the bottom of my heart that out friends like tom_condon and coolgadget come back.
There are only a few people kicking at the the forum - and most of us live the right spirit of the forum!!!
I think that it is interesting to buying a htc thanks to this forum because with original roms does not work well. 1000 stars to xda. We have new phones thanks to developers of the forum.
RESPECT
I absolutely agree with macguffin.
I've had tom's bb3.7 and 4.0, and I was totaly amazed! Until I join the xda forum I had my device with slow wm5, but now THANKS TO LOCAL GUYS I have brand new Artemis - I couldn't even imagine anything like this before. Now I have Meschle's ROM(seems better for me). I'm also sad that a lot of "internet newbies"(don't know how to search and ask) comes here but heads up guys...it's everywhere. I think if we stick together we can make this forum better!
Thank to all of you here who spend your nights with pimping our devices. You show me new way of using my phone. I don't wanna call your names because I know there are a lot of members who want to share their knowledge - no matter how they are skilled.
I'm sorry for my english, it probably isn't too good to describe my feelings.
/signed
Thanks to the chefs. Also many thanks to the developers who make the tools, which make these ROM's possible, thanks to Bepe, Pof, A_C, Gullum and NNcuong to mention just a few.
i am using B&B v3 Ger - Rom on my XDA orbit
and its much better than the original wm6. i love it!
hopefully soon the ger version of 4.1 will come out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi folks!
Yes, yes, I know this is Trinity Mobile 6 and I am posting this here even though I spent several weeks cleaning the mess up but firstly I am a MOD and I can allow myself to do it (kidding) and second, I was a Chef here (in case you forgot) so it's pretty much related to Mobile 6.
I didn't think I'll see the day I'd post this to you...
Unfortunately (for me for sure) I am retiring from cooking for the Trinity. As some of you might know, I upgraded to Diamond recently and Moderating the messiest forum around (Diamond) plus testing and preparing for cooking for the Diamond pretty much takes up all my time. I still have my Trinity in case you wonder, and you bet I'll be back flashing the newest ROMs released by the fine Chefs we have here (and feedback plus criticise )!
Well, my journey ends here after starting with some Media Player skins, boot screens, splash screens, today themes, tweaks, some cabs and finally cooking 15 ROMs (from which 3 for the 3600i - great people there).
My kind request to you is to keep up the good work, maintain the friendly and helpfull attitude, treat everyone with respect and maintain as much as possible the order in the Forums... or else I'll be back to kick some butts and ban you
I wish you all good luck!!!
Do not hesitate to contact me with anything, still consider me a Trinity user as my heart will always belong to this forum and device!
Thank you for everything tnyyntYou're THE BEST.Pozdrawiam
thank's bro.
Cheers for all the hard slogger you have put into modding the Trinity forums, however short lived!!
Our loss is the Diamond forums (much needed) gain Super thanks
farewell
hi tnyynt,
it's great to have you to cook for us (p3600i as not many or even none out here to do it) and it's sad to see you are leaving but happy that you got the Diamond.
I've been trying to learn how to cook p3600i as I have one and many others too. I hope you can pass me some information about p3600i so that I can continue in the future to support p3600i (as I can see I will have this p3600i for a long time )
Cheers bro
My man!!!! So sad to hear that!!! The hint you gave in your 315/6/7 was REAL! Sh*t!
I wish best of luck with Diamond!!! I want to get that as well but it doesn't have a memory slot!!!
Thank you for your rom my frnd!
thank you
among the hundreds of roms i played with, i remember two: yours and bepe's ...
Well, congrats on the Diamond purchase Still pondering on getting the Raphael (per you sig) ?
you retired, who will be .
No one......
Miss you
Thanks again!
Thanks for your great work!
thks brother, I hope one day you will be back to trinity again just for fun.
Now I'm very happy with my Trinity, but maybe some day we will meet on Diamond or maybe Raphael forum Good luck and be happy with your new device
Thanks for everything my friend!
Best regards

Hi All,
Ive been on this site now for about a year or so and I'd just thought id like to say a big Thank you to all the amazing people here. When I first bought my Diamond I knew little about flashing new ROMs, Radios etc despite having had experience with other PDAs in the past. This site gave me the confidence, advice and support I needed to get more acquainted with my diamond and the ability to configure the device as I wanted it to perform.
Just to say to new members - do not be afraid!!! get to know your device better!!
To all the Brilliant people who cook ROMs, create software and support others, I salute you all.
deebee26.

Welcome aboard,
Read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
Don't remember there being a specific place for this here @ XDA.
But very social of you for doing so anyway, welcome.
And don't brick your device and be sure to sim unlock first if your locked to Orange with a Desire.
