Hey eveyone,
Can someone Please post ALL the files (or links to the files) needed to get true VGA mode running on the o2 xda exec
thanks
anything and everything related to the true vga mode, i.e the fonts, the messenger files? or something like that, sorry but im a newbie here, help is much appreciated
hafo2: we're all newbies from one point of view.
Please check this thread and read all 13 pages (as of now).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32217&highlight=vga+files
True VGA is easy to do, but requires a degree of understanding and effort reflected in the 13 pages we've spent discussing the matter. Not reading the pages will only put you at a disadvantage.
A number of us have made an effort to help improve matters. But once you get it done, please post a tutorial for the benefit of all if you think it will be helpful.

Hi all,
i just bought my self a second hand MDA, and i want to use it as phone, but also play with it, and modify the OS. I've been reading these forums all night, and i was wondering if there isn't a FAQ for all this stuff.
Reading all the threads confused my about how to backup, how to upgrade to wm2003 .. what's the difference between O2 and T-Mobile ...
Maybe it should be better to include all frequently asked questions in a document. I'm willing to help to set this up ...
I also checked the #xda-developers on ircnet, but it was an empty channel, does anyone know where the channel is?
thx
If you want to help create FAQ documents, you're most definitely welcome to. We'll certainly give such documents a prominent spot on the site.
Be advised that ROM manipulation on these devices is a hairy and complex subject though.
Hi guys,
I had the idea to start a dedicated site about ROM cooking with a focus on INFORMATION. I splitted the page into two areas German and English / international.
Here the links:
http://www.artemis-project.com Main site, only for language selection
http://ger.artemis.project.com German site
http://wwe.artemis.project.com English site
The German page is already running, I invite all of you German speaking guys that have experience with ROMs, hacking the registry, design and whatever is useful for ROM cooking to help us build up that site.
Our focus will be on creating tutorials and cooking ROMs. We will create tutorials with detailed information and pictures that help everyone to understand the whole process better and enable the less experienced guys to cook your own ROMs too.
For the beginning I ask only the more experienced people to participate since we will have a better start. Don't think you are not welcome but we can't explain you everything from the beginning. If you have a few years of computer experience, know how to edit the registry or are good at designing graphics then you got the skills to help us.
You'd need to work a lot on your own, try out a lot of things and document them is such a way that we all can understand it so we can talk about it afterwards to evaluate. I hope that didn't sound too professional
As I already said, this site is going to be much more about information, I don't want to split up this nice community! But we are going to be stricter on forum rules: No double posts, double questions and so on. There won't be a single thread that will have 1000 postings!
There will also be almost no request for including programs into the ROM, we want the people to be able to do that themselves. If it is an extra cool application we didn't know yet we will use it of course !
Questions and answers about a ROM will be in a FAQ as soon as they are solved. The posts from the forum will be erased and in the FAQ there will be mentioned who found the solution.
As soon as we have a good and stable ROM or some extraordinary news about a very hot topic we will share it with this comminity of course.
So if there are 10-20 German talking guys I'd be happy to work with you together on a ROM that rocks
Sebastian
PS:
The english page is there but won't be used until there really is a need for. So please don't register right now on the English page.
I am a noob and really dont now how to do it but can someone share their knowledge on how to cook one?
there are some stickies here leading to oems/ applications but I lack the knowledge on how to combine them all to become a rom
please help me out
Note : please teach me like you are teaching a kindergarden kid becasue some words are very technical to me and if ever can someone provide link to where and what...
I think i am not the only one who will benefit about the knowledge other members ( maybe) who are afraid to ask
thanks in advance guys
Hi character,
Please just look around in this and the Upgrading forum. This isn't an answer you will be able to get with a reply to your post. There is a wealth of information here in these forums, and elsewhere on the Internet. It is going to take a lot of perseverence and practice (not to mention time) to acquire the information you are seeking. There are a lot of topics you will need to cover.
Look around at some of the excellent kitchens available to you here, download them and analyze what each is doing. They all basically do the same things, but each one has its own flavor. You will find that Pandora automates almost the entire process, while Bennec83's is more manual, and will teach you quite a bit ... if you put in the time to read it's tutorials and practice with it. Read through the Core/Hypercore kitchen threads for detailed information once you begin to have an idea about what you're doing. It WILL begin to sink in after a while.
Really ... read, read, read. Spend time experimenting, and you WILL figure it out - even though it's a complicated process.
Good luck, but again, this is not something that's possible to give as a simple answer to your question. Your best bet is to analyze the available kitchens, dissect the various batch files, and go from there.
-pvs
thanks sir
hopefully someone can provide a kitchen to different roms... just that if I compare it to wizards thread there are stickies there that make it easier for a want2be cookers to be a real good cookers... IMHO
anyway I am not nagging here atleast someone has gone through his time and answer my thread really appreciate the effort sir

Kitchen is not ROM dependent. Use hypercore....pick the ROM you like and start cooking. Cooking is the same as a wizard for hermes, expect the device settings in the kitchen (for hypercore.) So if you have tutorials for wizard that should be applicable to hermes also.
PS: Hypercore will not work if the rgu files are not in tact, then you need to use the hand cooking...Romdonalds might work for this case..

You are new so listen up!
Firstly, Welcome to XDA-DEVELOPERS!
This is not Craig's list. You are expected to read & learn here, not just type up wish lists like classified ads. This is a forum for Developers that has over the years become popular with the general public. As such, you are expected to read & learn. Know what you need & want before you post & be specific in the issues you're having.
Also, show respect. Use proper capitalization, use spaces, use paragraphs & punctuation. The easier you make it to read, the more likely someone will take their FREE time to actually read & help. Undestand, that if it appears that you've made NO effort, then those that have spent the time reading & learning will feel that you are unworthy of recieveing this sometimes hard earned info. Most of what you need is already available. Take some time & make an effort.
When looking for specific items, use the search button, or the "Search this Thread" tools for searches in specific areas.
I will give you a chance to edit & properly format your post. Do this & include some info you've looked up or searched for & have questions on. If you cannot do this, your post will be closed.

Congrats on becoming a Mod!
That's a great explanation of what to do!
As far as I know there is no WM5 or 6 for the In-View D-Media N911. I see that you have posted this on other forums as well. No means No regardess of where you hear it.
Like all of us I'm having a hard time flipping arround 1000+ pages of various threads in Applications / ROMs / Customization ... All are for the new comer WM 6.5
Why not CREATE A SECTION just for WM 6.5 ? this will make it extremely easy for WM 6.5 fans to find what they are looking for.
it Should include the following:
1. Themes
2. Titanium Home Screen Plugins
3. Fixes & Tips/Tricks
4. New CE Builds
5. etc
The aim is to provide us XDA-Devs, with a unified section covering all aspects of the New WM 6.5, especially, that I guess after a period of 6 to 12 months, WM 6.5 will be dominating the new threads in XDA-Devs, But yet, for WM 6.1 users, we don't want everything regarding the two OS get mixed in the same location.
The Sooner the better, and easier for Admins too.
Can we Acheive that XDA-Devs Team?
regards;
Will
Word...
Again.. Word...
Where is the Poll?
umm.. i think this is it...
just nod or something..
*Nods agreeingly*
No harm in a few more sections, also not many customizations work for 6.5
Yes please !!!
wm6.5 sections please!
Look at this Section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
There are many things for 6.5.

You are right but I think the point was to catalogue HD/WVGA supported apps, tweak etc without trawling this section.
You could just search but it can be a trudge when you don't know exactly what you are searching for.
all the wm6.5 plugins i'm using, were found at the devs forum..

Same here...
I have no problem with trawling the forums hence the fact that I have only posted 12 (now 13) times in over 3 years as reading usually gives you the answers you need.
But, not everyone is inclined to spend hours sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Where manageable... I see nothing wrong with xda giving people new to WM (and for a lot of people, their HD is their first exploration) information tailored to their device.
When I first got my wallaby, the site was much (much) smaller; I would imagine that if you had just bought an HD and none of your mates have one, coming to xda for the first time could be overwhelming.
You can read all the tutorials but anyone who works in a development environment knows that written words will usually leave some ambiguity.
Most of the 6.5 apps were not developed by devs using a WVGA device so running threads specifically under blackstone would allow HD users who do know the apps to focus on helping others with issues specific to the HD.
Hopefully this would improve their overall knowledge and confidence in their device and who knows, they may be the people that will develop the apps for WM7 on the HD...
I think it is inevitable anyway considering how bloated a lot of general threads are getting with the ever increasing xda population (not that this is a bad thing - wouldn't want this to become an elitist Linux style forum).
Instead of creating new forums all you have to do is put 'WM6.5' or 'WM6.1' in title of each thread.

Hi Fallen Spartan
+ screen resolution would be good.
I am assuming that because Will has posted this under a blackstone sub-category that he feels targeting information, help and support specifically to blackstone users would bring benefit as most apps posted under dev&hacking are already labelled up where they will only work on a specific OS.
Perhaps my point is out of place with the feelings of others but it is not finding apps that is difficult. The difficulty (and I do believe it is common place) is as I illuded to in my previous post.
When you do ask a question specific to running an app on the HD, it can either be overlooked due to the volume of questions other members are asking or the response is not by someone who has the device (including the developer) so help, although willingly given, can often be a dead end.
I do not have a solution for this but I am hoping you may think about how it can be easier for people to help people (I am as keen to help as be helped).
A user could always open a thread under themes and apps asking the question relating to a general app for specific help on the HD
I know I would feel a little uncomfortable doing this as naturally it feels the question should fall somehow into a WVGA/HD sub-category under the original app thread. It could mean that I caused other users to be unsure where to ask or look for help.
PS:
My comments are not intended to be taken as critical - This is a great site!
As with any user experience, the users change as do their expectaions (most users I see on the blackstone forum have a join date +2009 which is truly fantastic) and it is prudent to consider this going forward.
I won't comment anymore as I don't want to appear to be taking this down the route of a philosophical debate and you have elegantly answered Will's original post.
Mark.
Sounds like a great idea
Does this help tho

Yes this is a good idea, but when you search for "WM6.5" you get "Sorry - no matches. Please try some different terms. " because (i'm guessing from trail and error) that the word is too short or sumthing.
I have been looking for a nice theme for my new WM6.5 rom and am spending hours trawling thro pages of forums.
I'd love to see a WM6.5 forum under the blackstone forum.
My Main Concern was/is this:
When you use search feature, it gives you several threads for the same VALUE, but there are lots of file VERSIONS and/or UPDATES.
So, Users will not be able to target the most up to date File/Cab/Tweak, which sometimes causes instability with new Manilla or something like that, but if we have coherent SECTION, updates will be included to facilitate the problem solving without compromising device stability.
I mean it will be a UNIFIED thread, with UPDATES Content, to reduce the hassle, and mistakes.
Take for example those most-wanted:
1. BG for all Tabs? --- there is a 100 versions over XDA-Devs, which is NEWEST?
2. Old Start Menu --- SAME
3. Colored TASKBAR --- SAME
4. Manilla Analog Clock --- m2.0 or m2.1
5. TSK Files
6. etc.
Plus, I don't want to spend a whole day searching for a cab, for the above mentioned or else, and get screwed because I used a wrong version, and need to Hard Reset.
Not all users are professionals as others, there is a various skills in here, from noobs, to profs.
Everything seems so intricate and difficult here, why do we fight over opinions all the time?
Please lets be atleast professional and friendly, as we have always been before.
Again, WM phones are top notch phones now, not like 3 years back, when HTC used to be High Tech Computers Co. (Think Himalaya/Wallabay)
Regards;
Will
