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.

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

I have to restrain myself from using foul language, but we do have a wiki and a search button. If you can't be bothered to do some effort for it, then don't expect to receive an answer. The word 'please' would already help. There are some threads (one is conviniently named: 'a thread fo all the cabs') with links to cabs. I suggest you go and check those, before demanding cabs

Don't be a twat yourself. Even if you don't use search, there are lots of threads. Just read the titles. It shows of little respect for the people who cook Roms and collect these cabs to just barge in and demand some cabs here, or a fix there. This is not a store where you can order things. If people would just use their eyes and if then they can't find it, ask nicely, that would be a relief. You'll see that the search function works better also, 'cos then there are no completely useless threads anymore (like this one)

ah come on, you always going to get users like this. i'm not saying he is right, i'm just pointing out that if you don't have to say anything usefull (like our conversation here), why bother then?
and for the record, searching "tweaksUI" instead of "htcTweaksUI" gives bunch of threads with roms and not really the tool itself (ok, now there seem to be on on the second page, but still, ut gets frustrating )
Hi,
I really hope you can help...
I'm looking for a fast, stable rom for my P3600 (danish version). I don't think that there is any 6.0/6.1 danish rom out there, so an english would be great.
Sooo... please give me some recommandations. I would like to try it out tonight...

...and still you've learnt from it on your own rather than me or someone else giving you a link to what we like.
We all went through almost every ROM till settling for one. Ones were too [email protected]#, others were too $%^ and so on. The point is that liking a ROM is subjective, many users like speed, others like functionality, others the looks, others prefer memory, others prefer lots of apps, others prefer ballance!
Which one of those are you? Can you answer this question without trying at least one ROM from every category I've listed?
People don't answer to threads like yours for two main reasons:
1. there are plenty similar threads started and people get tired of giving same answers to same questions posted by users who are not willing to use the search function to get the info. Hey, it is always easier to just post and ask, huh?
2. ROMs are subjective like the people who make them, like the people using them. We like sweet, others bitter, some love blondes, others redheads, I like fast ROMs, others app packed. Bottom line: free will! Let the user decide for his ROM/chef of his choice. Plus, reading the ROM thread tells you almost everything about bugs, fixes, tweaks, tips, etc.
There's no bad blood in it, it's just we're too tired of answering a question that has been asked so many times and which can't even be answered!
Hope it's clear now!
P.S.: Thanks, but I'm not even 5% close of being an expert, but I search and read alot!

...and every month there are new roms, some have new builds, other have just other programs or languages in it ....

And maybe it wouldn't be so messy, if there wasn't so many threads created just to ask a question that has already been answered in 10 similar threads. Or threads created to ask a question about and issue of a particular ROM, when it should be asked in the ROM thread....
Many situations contribute to the mess you're refering to...
Even the forum search has been enhanced with google search, directly in the forum's search function, but still, it seems to be easier to many users, to just ask instead of searching.
Sometimes a thread is started with something like this:
"I've searched for this but couldn't find it...."
When this happens, search some more, use different keywords, because 95% of the times, the question has already been answered before.
I'm not flaming anyone with this, and I don't have nothing against noobs, as i consider myself one, but please use search, read and then read some more.
Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.

Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

It may take time after reaching the 5-8 post limit for it to allow you access, this is because the process runs in the background.
And when you have enough posts, you can edit your Signature in the UserCP (on the left hand side called "Edit Signature").
Or just click here : Edit Signature

People / Bots were Posting generic messages, like "Thanks this is great" or in some cases, actual responses based on words in a thread. The post it's self was not spam (although pretty pointless), but the users signature would contain 3-4 links to an online company of varying levels of trustworthiness.
We used to find one or two of these bad boys a day. Because they didn't create new threads, nor did they make it obvious to the casual observer, they were getting away with it.
I have not seen one of the so called "signature spammers" since the rules were put in place.
Dave
I had the same question...this is an excellent way to manage spam users. Good job, looking forward to delving more into this forum and getting a signature!
I was a bit upset at not being able to have a signature. Thanks Daveshaw for explaining. Its indeed a great way to stop spammers.

Well, you might be right but its not that easy. You know I have experience in those stuff in the development forum, but I have no way to make posts there.
I dont wanna be a sort of spammer by posting stupid stuff to get all the 10 posts.
But this 10 post rule leaves no other way to accomplish...
To find a topic that I can make a useful post takes a lot of time.
If you can't spend the time to make ten legitimate posts before posting in the dev fora, then you don't deserve to post there. This is a developer forum, not a support website.

Oh really? I was a clueless noob total non-developer when I came here and I had no trouble at all helping people who needed links or a little guidance where to find the information they need. XDA works because people help those who help themselves. Do not post useless posts, they will be removed and you'll never get to 10.
Why did this thread get unlocked? Now it's more noobs that can't read and just complain again.

I requested that it remain open. I've helped out others with legitimate issues before here. Also, leaving it open allows mods to track spammers easily.
Ok, awesome for the thanks feature. Thanks to that.
But, if we could also get a feature on the other end of that stick, that would be really great I think. A dislike, or thumbs down on posts that are just useless to the topic, then be able to set in your USERCP, any posts with -3 or more get auto minimized (clicking a + would open the post).
It seems more now a days than back in the day, there are more 'noob's on this site than ever. And they just cant seem to read. Or care to read. Or know how to read, the english language. So, they spam DEVELOPER threads, with 'does this woK?' 'eta on xxx' 'how to install this'....when, its ALL in the OP! Constantly, do I respond back with READ THE OP! Like they should be doing. + The stickies with tons of good guides in them.
So, I know the dislike/thumbs down wouldnt resolve this problem completely. But, it would help clear a huge thread (some with 1k+ posts) down so some of us that 'arent' noobs can go in and actually see comments relating to ROM, not the installation, or partition sizes (non-rom relation).
I understand, this could be abused. I really hope it wouldnt be. But, youtube uses a similar feature, like/dislike, and still use it. I am just throwing this out there, because a great thread (HERE if curious) is being BASHED with TONS of stupid questions. And damn, its very aggravating to see people not read, and im not even the dev...
Tried not making this a rant post. Just trying to see if there is 'some' solution to this 'on-going' problem (not JUST that thread, every thread has repeat questions). And maybe if people start seeing -10 on their posts or -50, they will know they are doing something wrong. Instead of me replying, wasting space I will hit the dislike instead .
Thanks for reading.

Should be in the About XDA-Developers section, and if you had read there it's already been suggested and a beta was implemented in a GNex thread. This isn't HD2 related though so I'm reporting this thread to be moved
Oh and yes, that thread is being completely messed up by noobs.
EDIT: Lol posted this before your edit
Yeah, I understand the logistics of a forum, just wierd xda posted it in the other page I had open I guess (had hd2 forum open in seperate tab). I really dont know what happened.
Anyway
Ok so looking back 3 pages I found this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1547887
I looked 2 pages, I guess shame on me for not looking further. But in anycase, it doesnt appear to be in the gnex threads anymore. So, just trying to get more support for them to bring it back I guess, hopefully in full scale. It would really help I think.
There was an experiment of this in the galaxy nexus forums... I believe it will now be improved based on what we found from that test
