The wiki ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com ) contains a tiny start of what could become a very nice FAQ. I do not have time over the next weeks to expand what's there, and appeal to any and all with some time on their hands to please see if they can add structure, or just questions and their answers. Feel free to change it until it's good, that's what wikis are for.
Nice post peter
Question for you
How would you feel if you had spent over 2 months building a wiki for the blueangel, posting the files to the ftp site, to find that they got deleted on the 16 .
Pm 2 admins, one picking up the pm but not repliying, the orher not picking up the pm.
Rebuilding the trashed ftp site, re linking the wiki links, Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon, watching the ftp site getting trashed again (today) and then reading your reqest?
Ps you have a pm from me datedted 16 march, feel like picking it up?
Why this beautifull FAQ (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel) is not visible for ordinary people? I found it by accident.
But it is!
Top of screen to the right is the link wiki.xda-developers.com
On that page under HTC Device you will find Blueangel
The Blueangel Link gets you to that page
Never thought that behind these WiKi activities this FAQ is hidden - put another link under this WiKi.XDA-devloppers.com link with something like "How Blue Angel works" or "Blue Angel FAQ" or "Knowledgebase". So a person who visits for the first time immediatly sees this fine product of hard labor.
What happen to the Magician section ? Are we being ignore ???
Well, I really love your job, however, my device is being left out !!
Wiki like the forum is user driven. In short if no user feels the need or want to update wiki then it just does not happen.
You dont need to be a moderator to add pages in wiki, you dont even need to be good in english for somebody down the line will add or correct your page.
I have to say - that's a real shame.
There's a lot of information requested on these forums that has been requested before - but often it's buried deep in a confusing thread (most recently the splash image tweaks for the HTC Wizard - I have no idea what util tweaks what splash).
I just created a Wiki page (search for my username, I guess - it's not really linked from anything much yet), and I plan to create more related to the Wizard as time becomes available.
Wikis are inherently much better at giving concise information than an open-discussion forum... wish people would use it.
Help with the SiteManagement Project
Please see the following forum topic to see how you can further help with the FAQ Wiki Project:

We need as much help as possible to create a sustainable platform in order to further create a workable and informative website, so please check out this topic and see what you can do to help!
Hi guys, is it possible to have access to google-analytics results? Since we need to know for what the users are looking for - the most common search, how they act in site (in wiki! and so on)
Then we can make THE wiki.
Posting to the ftp non public thread, reading that it will happen soon

Don't want to clog up the original thread. I am thinking of upgrading to Black Shadow but I have a hard time finding information on which applications there might be issues with. In the sbsh forum for example, one user says that on Black v3 installing Ilauncher caused a hard reset.
Does Ilauncher work with v4?
Also I just can't go without phoneAlarm, IM+, Fizz weather, SPB Time, Resco Explorer, Resco Photoviewer, Pocket Informant and PIEPlus.
Just list all programs that work and the ones you are having problems with.
So far so good...
Greetings,
I've been running these for about a week with no problems on the Black Shadow ROM.
Spb Time v2.1.4, Build 947
&
Resco Explorer 2007 v6.00
I'm curious to know if iLauncher works...I have it...just haven't loaded it.
Cheers,
I,ve been running Ilauncher couple of days without any problems. I also have SPB Mobile Shell, Time and Weather installed and those are working fine.
...And Ilauncher is version 3.0.04
Just a Question but why is this posted on Xda and not 4winmobile?

Mostly because I heard of Black shadow today and know nothing about it. Second, there are a whole bunch of posts about black shadow on this forum so I did not think any of it...
resco explorer 2007 works fine.
phone alarm 1.60 works well no issues.

Yeah, well you didn't scroll by. You opened the thread, read it and posted a message far less valuable than my thread. If this post is of no interest to you then don't read it. 99% of all threads are of no interest to me. I use this forum for the remaining 1% of (to me) interesting threads.
And if I can't post in the original thread, and not post a new one, I don't have many options left... People like you are clogging up the forum.
I'd like to write something rude as well as you did, but instead I figured I would write something constructive.
Mortplayer
anyone using mortplayer on Shadow? It works fine but i'm unable to quit the program properly, instead I have to force close it with task manager every time which leads to previous setting not saved correctly.
Windows Live was playing up but JJ has released a patch at 4wm.

Can we stop this petty crap please? Lots of people on these fora are still using the Black ROMs, JJ still posts on here about them...what exactly is the big f***ing deal?
Telling people to go elsewhere to talk about a different ROM is just going to lead to fragmentation of the community and is just trying to create tension between two internet sites out of nothing.
Just grow up a little bit and stop trying to stir it.

The cook himself has requested that all discussion take place on 4wm. So, the big f***ing deal is that *****ing about it here, when the cook has said he'll only support it on 4wm is useless. Also, if he doesn't see the *****es (because they're posted here), how can he fix the issues?
This community is being fragmented by more than JJ... The excellent moderation around here certainly doesn't help either.

Easy, because 4winmobile sux. Everything is buried and impossible to find. Hermes and Black are nothing more than an after thought on that site.

Bravo DMON!!! Couldn't have said it better. Why don't all you freakin senior members get off your high horse?! If you don't want to read or respond... THEN DON'T. You guys constantly *****ing is what is ruining this forum and causing people to leave... not noobs asking questions.
My apologies to the senior members that don't partake in this BS.

Come on Elf - that's like saying if you have a problem with wisbar, you should only post on the lakeridge forums or if you have a problem with SPB Pocket Plus, you should only post on their forums.
The fact of the matter is that nearly everyone who is interested in the Black ROMs on 4WM is reading and posting here, including JJ himself.
But not everyone who is running black can be mithered reading another set of forums and stays here. I think here is where you're likely to get the biggest readership. You'll miss some of the guys on 4WM but most of the big hitters (just like yourself ) are here.
Let them post in peace

Dear Admin/Mods
The most view Development and Hacking section is awesome for all the Phone.
we found many usefull and super apps here (VJ Uties,PocketCM, S2U, plugins, patch, hack...)
and day goes by we also found many pretty and sexy theme/skin in this section too.
It's now hard to know and find if some app or skin is update or born.
so i request may we have a section for the skin/theme to let the Development and Hacking grow like it should be (monster now ) and make our world biggest powerfull forum more romantic
Thank You.
PS: dont worry about screen resolution, just add [QVGA/VGA] to the skin Thread title

That sounds a good idea, but: some themes are also developy/hacky things, and are a combination of the two...

i see, i know this is my "hack" skin http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312235 and it have more than 100.000 view
So I'm not the only on with this idea!!!
I think it'd be really useful to keep the regular dev and hacking forum clean while making it easy to find themes when I need them.
If you have a Pocket CM theme post it there. A new app or update app post it in the dev forum.
Some theme's really do involve a lot of work. I think they could just be posted in the theme forum, but it could go either way...
Also I think it'd be really useful if we had a sort of format for naming threads:
"Updated 6/16/2008: PocketCM Windows 7 Blue and Green Themes VGA/QVGA" or something like that.
1 thread per theme. Themes that only vary in color would be posted in the same thread.
this is funny.. i was just talkin about this with my boy..
i make themes all the time.. i personally dont use em.. but i make em for my freinds with ppcs. If u have a request post the pic and ill get it done shortly
+1 for theme forum, only because i don't use themes!!! And it's a pain in tje butt to keep trawling through 75 different manilla diamond clone themes everyday, takes new/old apps off the front page, even relegating the useful ones to page 10s
plz.
" Development and Hacking
Everything to do with software development for the phones. Please refrain from posting unless you're a software developer or hardcore techie. Postings from others will be moved. " --- Dont think that this description fit for this "Styling" forum in what Development and Hacking forum is transformed
I think that is time for new separated and useful Styling forum.
there is so many spec styling themes: MS 2.1, UL, BS, and Diamond, Manila, etc-related
(p.s: sorry 4 bad english.)
u got a point there buddy.
I agree
I can see your point. In the Development/Hacking forum, there are many "skinnings'" or "new skins" of apps and softwares. They're not really applications or softwares, but merely "skins" or "themes" if you will. But where else do they put them? It's the closest relevant thread for "us" skinners and themer. I (I believe second - I might be wrong) created a thread on UL icons, and a slew of others followed suit. There are
HTC dialers/phone pad skinning,
today themes,
RL, UL themes/icons,
Battery Status themes,
Audio Manager and WM player themes, skinning
total commander themes/skinning
Manilla themes
Icontact, Pocket CM and S2U2 themes/skinning
Mobile Shell
and the list goes on and on.
Perhaps there should be a "Theme/Skinning/Styling/Imaging" Forum. It would reduce the clutter in the Development/Hacking forum for sure, and a clear definition on what Development/Hacking (and others) means to up clear up/reduce any misunderstandings or misconceptions. Just my $0.02
Edit:
This has been brought up before and perhaps the mods are working on it or thinking about perhaps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398038
I like the idea, maybe call it "UI Customization" or just plain old "Themes & Skinning"
i think this need subcategories

Agreed. Separate religion from government.
i'm in...and we could move some tutorials there...e.g. mobileShell tutorial which isn't sticky in the development thread,but sure is worthy,and good
Hi admin
Could you please do away with the lagacy device forum and just organize the main forum index by device manufacture that will make the forum more cleaner looking and also install cloudflare plugin its free to speed up loading times etc. The lagacy forum is the most pointless thing iv ever saw. That can also impact no new user sign ups because possible new users can't see there handset on the forum index where its meant to be. If admin wants just clone the forums in a different directory and let me at it to speed it up and organize it to make it cleaner
Thanks admin
Eoghan
