Agree...
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.

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.

All the current Rom's are good. As others have stated, it really depends on what you use your device for. Do you like a lot of apps pre-loaded with less space or do you like to load your own apps.
Again, it is up to you,....Just try one or two and decide for yourself...then you can write a review of the Rom's you tried...
If one thread was closed,,,this one will also be closed soon...good luck

speaking from experience ??
Dude, it's like asking "what's the best car?"
You gotta first know what you want and need.
Then you gotta research for the viable options.
Then you gotta ask some targeted questions.
Then you may have to try a couple on.
Asking "which is the best ROM?" is just ignorant. If you can articulate what you are specifically looking for (stable OR fast OR latest updates OR etc.) then maybe you have a chance at someone giving you a meaningful answer.
If there was one ROM that is fastest, most stable, with the latest updates, then there'd only be one ROM.

Very useful comments, all of you, i have to admit... Is this the kind of posts that made you become senior members?
How about quick explanation to the poor guy that there are different opinions and flavours of different ROMs and that nobody can define the best ROM, but he has to try several and choose one? Based on stability, rapidity, features, etc?
Ive been reading this forum for quite a while now, and i see it decading. maybe its because everybody knows everybody and u want to keep it this way, any newcomer is not welcome..

i know it might get frustrating after a while, but there will surely be more like that guy coming this way, so ull get crazy at the end...

I figured I would let you tell the guy so you could be a senior member too......who cares junior or senior members should think before they ask. I think the best no joke response is the guy looking at this from a perspective of buying a car. Oh and ask me what car is best....I will tell you a Yugo.
At least somewhat of a starting point. I'll also say this. That unless you are really willing to invest some time (and frustration) into flashing ROMs, you may want to stick with the official ROMs. One was just released for the Hermes WM6. Please install Olipro 2.10 first before trying to flash. And please don't blame anyone but yourself if you brick your phone.

does anyone have a link to the guitar hero cab? greatly appreaciated
Seconded.... except my message is much to short
Me too Please !!
why is everyone so protective of it, ive seen numerous posts on this site with people claiming they have it yet noone wants to give it up. it'd be greatly appreaciated i mean we are all here for the same reason, to help eachother out.
Probably because its copyrighted
just because someone has it, it doesnt mean they are going to freely give it out to anyone. It's not being rude, just selective. For example, if I had this game. I would only give it out to other people that have contributed to this site, not just a bunch of leechers that gain info or software and have nothing reciprocating to offer. And secondly it would be via PM or other communication ways. Not posted publicly on this site (which is against site rules)
Put it this way.... i'm not going to tell you where ( again against site rules) but there IS a site that has this app posted ( cTacked version) but you will need to find out where it is posted for yourself.

I am not complaining btw without Kavana and Rickys WM6.1 i would be stuck with BT Bloatware.

so you leechers keep your grubby paws off
I'm not a leecher. Never asked for a damned bit of your warez (I always hated the whole fake-music genre of games), but it seems like I hit a nerve with that comment. Guess if you have it, you're a leecher.
All I was saying is that having something like guitar hero makes certain people feel special...because they have it and others don't. If they let it out too liberally, just like the child in the schoolyard, they're not special anymore because everybody is the same again. They lose the "look what I got and you don't" shine.
It's a nasty attitude and shows that people really don't grow up. If you don't want to give it out, you really don't have to say anything at all. But it's the schoolboy in you that has to yell "MINE!"
To the original poster, Guitar Hero III mobile is available online. T-Mobile has it in their downloads as well. And I'm not sure who told you we're all here for the same reason: to help each other out. There are quite a lot of people here who feel they're at some elite status and can't be bothered with people who are where they were, say, ten months ago.
problem is, that most people dont contribute to this site ( or at least this forum) they sit here asking all sorts of questions, but never offer any help to others. Im not an eliteist.... i did what most techy type guys most like did when they first got their phones, they dabbled with it, figured crap out for themselves, and when they didnt, they found the almightly google for help. Once they started to put 2 & 2 together with what their phone could and couldnt do, they started offering help to others, and i stress help. Help is not giving out software that they have and saying: " here ya go! " help is actually resolving someone elses problem. and i hardly think that a software request is a problem. For those certain individuals that i've seen on this site actuall make a signifigant contribution to help others that are in need, when they've hit me up for software, i've always hooked them up, but for the ones that "hit & run" and have not had anything to offer to date, i dont give them anything. (and i stress give). its not like im going to be seeing these people on what you call the schoolgrounds anytime soon and i dont really care how many people have the same software i have. i do feel that some deserve it and some dont , based on their merit. simply googling guitar hero III and finding a thread in this forum, finding out that there is a guitar hero III for the mobile phone and then requesting it is not contributing anything in any way. ( BTW i've been with this forum since nov of 2006 and have had a smartphone since WM2003 so i dont know where you are getting your 10 months ago figure)
Nah, dude, that wasn't meant as a slight to you. I can't disagree with anything you wrote. I'm fairly new here myself (though I've had a smartphone since I had WM2003 on my Samsung SCH-i600 with Verizon). I joined it because it's a relatively well-respected forum in the smartphone community and a place that everyone asking questions elsewhere is sent to.
The problem is this forum just lacks moderation and organization. Being new here, I feel sorry for people just showing up and having to dive through this mess. Yes, a lot of questions get repeated. But it's fiendishly easy to say "justfuckinggoogleit.com" to the point that over 80% of a user's posts reflect that..again, without giving any real help. It makes the community look bad as a whole. That's what pisses me off.
I think being called a leech kinda set me off, too, since there's nothing on my phone (except the ROM) that's not either bought-and-paid-for or freeware.
im not calling you specifically a leech. im calling the people with 2 posts, one being "hey, can you also send guitar hero to me too??", leeches. they are the same retards that post 400000 times "HELP! ZOMG!!! I FINALLY GOT THE ROM TO WORK BUT MY KEYBOARD LAYOUT IS MESSED UP". ya know what i think of that? **** YOU AND YOUR KEYBOARD. if you are too stupid to read or use the SEARCH function (not google), then you are too stupid to use a phone like this. i realize that most are just lazy and are above searching for the answer or reading a few pages..to them i also have a heart felt **** you.
if someone has 50 or 100 posts and asks a silly question, i will gladly provide the answer if i know it. but the guy with 2 posts in 6 months can go find it himself.
when your first reaction to an issue you have with your phone is to post it in a new thread....you dont deserve help. how about doing some of the legwork yourself instead of posting "i NEED a step by step set of instructions blah blah blah". what you NEED is a kick in the nuts.
and if you really feel that by us saying "go do a search the topic has been discussed 4500000 times" makes the community look bad.....how does the community look when you have a bunch of posts by people with 2 post to date, asking all the same questions as eachother? i think its retarded that some senior users actually have to use their signatures to list step by step instructions for some of the most talked about topics, just so they dont have to type it for the 10000th time. hows that make our community look? makes it look like there are a handful of people that know what they are doing and it makes the rest look like a buncha n00b tards that are leading eachother down the stupid trail.

Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

It's staring right in your face, dude. It's made for PPC, not Smartphone. lol Cmon man, do some research or better yet, READ the title. Stop creating threads for STUPID questions. Period.
____________________________________________
This is Just for Laughs. So Enjoy but at the same time, USE this as a lesson to not create stupid threads. Read, Seek Knowledge and Apply Knowledge.
Lesson of the day: Save yourself from getting banned and from rude comments.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
P.S: Anyone that comes across threads, post the link and post a valid comment because I want to keep this active so ALL newbies can learn to not to land in the graveyard, that is STUPID.

L.M.F.A.O sorry Kavana
i am getting my self a htc desire but i have been a user of windows mobile software's for ever and i love it.
would i be able to still use some of the software's that i have on hand??
I would appriciate if you could email me your replies on this subject to
[email protected]
Thank you in advance
From what Ive seen on here from when other people have posted this question hes gonna get a lot of hate emails lol.
LOL, what a redicilous question!! Android FTW!
i'd wager it's possible if you can find a few dedicated people to support your cause.
Oh, and btw, bwahahahahahahahahahaha
And that's coming from someone who's had 4 WinMo devices in a row before a desire.
Since the specs are similar It might not be that difficult for people to get together etc..
But, If you can, try the desire and the HD2 and see which you prefer. After owning winmo before, and coming within inches of owning a HD2 and then trying a desire - linux is so much better at the user experience. The fluidity, ease of use and speed at which things are accessed is far better than the winmo 6.1 and 6.5 I have used before. The OS is very intuitive. I bet you could give this phone to a 6 yr old and they would within a short time frame be using this better than the general user. I might try this.
I'm just very happy that the phone doesnt stress me out trying to use it like winmo did. writing txts and swapping between functions is quick. Very cool.
It's not "Is it possible?" it's "Why bother?"
I hate "flame" conversation. But WHY bother? If you want snapdragon with WM then HD2 is your device. I have 10years of history with windows mobile devices from Cassiopeia A-11 with Windows CE, thru WM2003, 05, 06 and 6.5. And I can say after month with HTC Desire, every possible app is already for android and it runs faster and looks better. Except professional apps used in parcel delivery and stock monitoring (only question of time).
Don´t worry you´ll do just fine.

A six year old might be fine, the missus still struggles...
I, myself, am a fully fledged Android convert. Previously, my favourite devices were all WinMobile (Never liked Symbian much). I took a leap of faith and got my Desire on a bit of a whim (and a LOT of research) and I can honestly say I love Android to bits, it's easily the best Phone/Phone OS I've ever used so I'm on everyone in this forum's side when it comes to Android vs. WinMobile.
But I still have to say, I see nothing wrong with what the OP is asking. If someone released a port of Windows Mobile 6.5 or 7 for the Desire, I'd probably try it out myself, even for just a giggle. I know I'd go back to android probably within a few hours, but that's not the point, it's fun to play with stuff like that.
The fact that the guy has picked the Desire over the likes of the HD2 tells me that he's made his choice with Android and just wants to keep his options open - and what's wrong with that? This is exactly the kind of thing that XDA dev was designed for. Hell, my dream would be to have an OS choice at bootup, imagine being able to pick between your favourite custom ROMs, a stock ROM and even a WinMo ROM? That would be pretty epic and I don't think anyone would complain that it was a "Waste of time". So go easy on the guy, it's not all that stupid a question.

It is a stupid question when it gets asked week in week out.
A simple search would've revealed this - I just searched "Windows Mobile" and found 5 threads asking the same question.
Regards,
Dave
Which just means there's a fair amount of interest in it, making it even less of a stupid question. Rather than flame the guy, just ask him nicely to use search in future and point him to one of the threads.
Personally, I don't think the ignorance of the search bar is any worse than those who flame people for asking "stupid questions".

Exactly - and the point I'm trying to make is that Rule #2 applies just as much as Rule 1!
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.

You clearly haven't been here long if you think what's been said on this thread constitutes a flame - this is so tame it wouldn't even register on a mod's radar!

Why bother buying a Desire and ask for a WinMo porting? just buy an HD Mini or an HD2.

I wouldn't say flaming, just wasn't terribly polite. Sure, the guy could have and should have used the search engine ,that's fair enough, but all the "Lols, why bother, android is teh win, winmo is teh suck!" style comments weren't helpful, informative or necessary at all.
I'm sorry, but if you don't believe this is a stupid question I would strongly question your intelligence. Is there some problem picking up a Windows Mobile? Are they rare enough that such a strange request would come up again and again? It's silly because for those that WANT a WM phone, one is easily acquired. It's like asking if there's a way to turn my XBOX into a PS3 because I don't like XBOX games...then I'm a fool for buying one! Just because there are a lot of silly people does not render their silliness valid.

See, this is exactly my point. Here's a reply that, within the first line, attempts to insult. Why do that? It doesn't help and all you'll do is drag out this thread much more than it needs to be. Does this "stupid question" bother you that much? Then don't reply! Ignore it and it'll go away.
Anyway, upon further inspection, it's actually not that stupid inquestion. Despite the knee-jerk reaction we all got from the title, if you read his post carefully, he's actually asking if there's any way he can run some of his windows mobile programs on the Desire. Not the full OS, just some of the programs. Sure, this is obviously a big "no", but is it really that stupid a question? We have emulators for plenty of other devices and anyone not that familliar with Android might not know that it's a completely different OS, or that it's completely incompatible. He's clearly a newbie, so go easy.
All I'm really saying is, if this kind of thing bothers you, drop the attitude and juse ignore it.

Because, judging from the amount of times I seen this patently ridiculous request, the polite helpful tone doesn't seem to work.

Yes frankly. It doesn't strike you as silly? you don't think the ability to run WM apps or some sort of virtualisation on Android might have made big waves by now? No? Really?
I would say if the attitude bothers you, YOU ignore it.

Maybe it's because the Desire has more RAM that the HD2 and HD Mini, why can't someone just port winmo on a desire and shut people up thats asking for it too be ported..... surely its not that hard to port it over.....
"Maybe its just to hard for XDA Developers or anonymous developers on this forum to port it over.... ah well soo much for theres skills....
It serisouly serisouly can't be that hard.... if Android can be ported on a winmo mobile, why is it soo hard to port winmo on a Android phone thats 100% capable of running the O/S.
Please will someone just port it over to the Desire soo there will not be any more future threads of if it can be ported over.....
Maybe some people don't like Android and prefer winmo O/S because of there purchased apps maybe.
Please don't go mocking me saying "omg why would anyone wan't to do that.... Android is the best because its open source etc....
teeter tottering.
any peopple coming from android in here? !
well, could you push me one way or the other please?
so basically, convince me to buy a hd7 and support winpho7.
I had an iPhone 4, then traded it in for the Captivate and then I sold the captivate for the focus and I am really pleased with the focus so far. My email syncs great, the GPS (which was a pain to have for the captivate) is spot on and accurate to 20ft on my phone. Xbox live is a plus and they have great games so far in the Marketplace some before android. The battery life is better than the captivate and I played Rocket Riot on my phone for 2 hours and only 15% battery used.
I really enjoy the stability of this phone and you should try it. You wont be disappointed.
thanks!
my pet peeves are no multitasking and wifi hotspot though.
i hate the lack of hackability, i do all kinds of my stuff to my phones .

i agree. I don't mean to sound rude in saying, but really at present you haven't asked anything that hasn't already been said in any of those 3 previous threads.
