chad, you already asked this noob question in another thread you needlessly started. This is BASIC and has been covered a million times. Please do not waste space with a post like this. Read the wiki or do a search (google is your friend- "your search" site:xda-developers.com)

Maybe it should be good to start new sticky thread in this section with common WM6 upgrade problems for ignorant noobs that do not read wiki...
But I do not know if they would be reading it...It is so much easier to just start a thread and wait.

eh, I say forget the noobs. Ignore their topics or link them to the wiki.
noobs need to learn to READ on their own.

Actually I searched the WIKI and found this... I also posted the necessary cab in the other thread you started where you asked for help.
For someone with 6 posts to their name I'd be careful of who I called a ****... that is if I ever expected to not be treated as a ****.

on the top of what Dr Puttingham said there is one more location in the wiki where you can find it - right on the first place here. Do not blame us for your inability to search for information - that is basic skill for everyone online. And yes your question is being asked every two weeks on average...

ok well im not "blaming you for my inability to search for information"
im simply asking someone for help with something that i couldnt find anything on. imagine how youd feel if you just did something to your phone and couldnt find what happened and why its doing something its not suppoused to. you would be asking people too whats there to do if you couldn't find what was out to fix it.
all im saying instead of saying H0LY FUXZ0RZ R34D TEH WIKI JEW FUKN N00BZ
post the actual section its in and say this is in the wiki in this section so we can click on it and see it in the wiki

I'm sure the poor grammar, spelling and lack of punctuation had no bearing on the lack of search results. I've found an answer to every question I've had without having to be spoon fed every step of the way.

Did you even try to search for Black Com Manager before posting? It's there when you search--I just checked--in the Trinity to Hermes thread. But you gotta search! Not doing your work for you!
Not trying to be rude, but when I looked at your request post,it was from the Black 3.0 thread. That is what you have been waiting "days" on your request? Now you have made a request for the Custel 2.5 (which just came out) and are saying that no one has answered you? Give it some time and chill please.

Stop demanding like a spoilt brat and use the bloody search button.
ok 。。。。。。。。。。。。
Apology
my apology to all of thee,but if someone can find it for me,it would be great.
No, they can't, you can get off your arse and find it yourself!
The search button is located 3rd in from the right in the menu directly beneath your PM status in the top right.
Seriously tho, are you mentally retarded?
1. You ask something thats easy to find the answer to if you searched for it
2. You still haven't bothered searching for it, and still, even after all the posts tell you to search yourself, you expect others to find it for you
WTF man?! It's n00bz like you that drag this forum down into the gutter! Posting a whole new topic then replying to your own topic repeatedly nagging other members, when the answer is only a search away? I'm half tempted to sign your email up to dozens of spam sites.

I know it fun to make fun of or say **** to rude dumb people but if you think about it dont reply to stuff like this and they will go away or waste there days posting 1's all day
one other idea regarding this debate. if u really cant get it right with xdadev forum included search, you can always try google search. will get you even better results. I also find it difficult to search with the included search feature, but if you read a bit in the posts, find out what you need (namely Black Comm Manager), try to google it, it will give you accurate results.
just my 0.05 USD...
The search function and Google really do work, when you use them. In less time it took to read the first page of this thread, I typed it in Google and got a link here. Wow. Amazing what you can do on your own when you try. Next I'll get rid of my velcro sneakers and teach myself how to tie my shoes!! lol

Everyone was new one point in time. But you really ought to learn to use the features made available for you, not fret like a little boy and have 3 consecutive posts in 5 minutes on the same topic. What did you expect? Someone turning up at your door with the Comm Manager on a silver platter?
It was already made known to you that the item that you were looking for is available through the search function. But you decided to play lazy and post again, your request.
I do not find any fault in my or other jm012a9749's reply to you in any manner. Fact of the matter is you brought it upon yourself.
This forum is a highly specialised forum and honestly, when you step into one's house you follow one's rules. If you don't like it, there are other sites which attend to spoilt brats like you. But this is not the place. Act like a spoilt brat and you will be treated like one.
Thank your lucky stars there are members who would still put up with your nonsense.

Attention General Moderator

Numerous "posters" have taken the habit of commenting without showing their signature.
I find this very disturbing as you do not know what they are referring to.
May I please suggest you put everywhere a STICKY reminder?
Keep up your b..... good site, Have a nice day and God Bless.
Mmmmm
Yes! it must be a rule... instead nobody read the rules..... but when we have time to attend those who has problems or opinions, we dont have enough info... maybe if they has it in their signatures, we have less posts unnecesary so it would be great that in login claim for fill these info with obligatory (*), before gain the access to the forum threads... what would you say?
and of course a request for the one who dont have and is new... thanks for read mods.
wait what are you talking about?
do you mean people are not showing their signatures (those little things at the the bottom of each post)? I suppose not showing it could be a problem if they reference it, but is that what you are talking about?
YES

I like you to see some day the upgrade forum for HTC Wizard its full of people that bricks their wizards... why... cause he dont understands what he got on his hands...
For wizard is very important to know wich model to get the proper ROM if dont knows nothing about it...
This info is very usefull not comfort for the ones who answer questions and provides help or support... Never... its a pleasure can helps but then they starts to blame about this kind of thing... I know it doesnt matter but its so sad to read it.

Thanks just for read us GENERAL!!!!!
i see...
the thing is, alot of the problems in some of the other forums are not necessarily rom related, and rom questions could probably be better answered posting in the rom's thread.
despite what some may think, most problems are universal regardless of rom, at least in my experience.

I see your point, but you can't make certain info mandatory for users. Most of the time when users post a "problem with device" type thread, they usually mention which it is. For the Wizard users that don't specify which model, it doesn't mean much except they never knew there were differences from the beginning most likely. Just point out the differences and most will catch on.
Nice try...
Already tried so... i think that we need to make a sticky likely thread saying!!!!
Y'ALL!!! Put your info device on your Signature before post!!!!
Maybe they can read it with hughe words.
I'm very sorry but as good a practice as it is we cannot enforce people to do so, adding a sticky would clutter most forums as most of the time there are already multiple stickies there.
The best you can do is suggest to people to put in their signature or post whenever they feel it's relevant.

The Mods have to sticky your thread.
Geez, how nit-picky can you get??
I can understand the frustration of people who ask without searching or reading first. I've completely customized first my mogul, then my diamond.... and by spending far too many hours searching & reading (according to my husband.....)
I can also understand the frustration of newbies poking around in the dev areas.
But this is over the top.
Out of all those hours spent reading & searching, I've never seen a requirement to post a sig. Wouldn't apply to me anyway.... I don't flash ROMs. Personally, I don't pay attention to who is using what rom in their sig. I only pay attention to what links are there.
BTW, I never paid attention to it before, but it appears that the admin & mods don't do it either. So why the beef?
OK

I'm not sure Flar was giving permission, I think she was just saying that the best way to pass info to majority of the users is through stickies, but it may not be possible due to forums already being cluttered.
The theory is sound to add info to your sig but as with so many others in this forum I have a pile of previous devices and if I listed them all in my sig with all the relevent data, my sig would be longer than the message!
Plus, it would need changing every time I tried a ROM or added a supplier update/patch, I wonder how many have reflashed a ROM and not remembered to change their sig??
Also for the data to have some meaning you would need to include all software installed (interaction problems) and ever reg edit/Tweak they have added/removed. The list could be endless!
Its much easier for members just to try and remember to add the details in the message body when asking about problems with their device.
HTC Universal
HTC Startrek
HTC Wizard
HTC Hermes
HTC TytynII
HTC Touch Pro
HTC Shift
And still have them all...
I think the problem here is people not knowing how to ask for help. "Won't let me flash a ROM" and "Active Sync doesn't work" do not explain what the issue is. As a follower of Raymond Chen's blog and his war on people to ask the correct questions when requesting email support, there are a few things that should be mentioned in every request for help:
Specify the problem: What is the error, full details, error codes, message dialogs, etc. Or if there is no error, what did you expect to happen, why is something not working as intended.
What did you do: What steps have you followed to get to the problem (how to re-created it). And what steps have you taken to rectify the issue your self.
What is your environment: What phone are you using, what version of the software are you using, ROM version, radio / SPL / IPL, Windows version. Some of these are not applicable, but anything relevant should be listed. List other software you think could be contra-indicating.
This list is by no means exhaustive and of course, the standard Forum Rules on searching, duplicate posting, etc. should be followed. With this information, most people should have a clear idea of the issue and can offer the best help they can without having a long dicussion on all of the above points.
I take my hat off to the members that can answer questions without this information, they have amazing guess work.
Thanks
Dave
YES!!!
Everyone has good ideas, so forgive me for missunderstood the Flars answer... do what ever to help people efficiently.
Its our dont pay job.
But Im proud of it... yes getting all the info for you devices will be hard to put in 500 characters so... ask everytime.
i will edit the thread about the permission.

Just got my xperia X1

This would be my first ever WM phone, so I really have no clue what Im doing. But I know I want to change the appearance of the phone, I have not a clue where to start. I was wondering if you guys would be so kind to help me from beginning to end. Or atleast give me a link to where I would be able to find such information. A list of recommendations would be much appreciated.. As well as any programs that you'd recommend to enhance XE1 ...the And ill be forever greatfull.. THHHHHANKS
Best way to learn this stuff is read read read. Go to the ROM section and read all the Sticky's, HardSPL your device first. Then you will be able to install/Flash custom ROM's. I use itje's v7.1, works great.
cwh
thanks, now would that be the same thing as installing Touch X ULTIMATE ver.6.1? 'cuz i think that looks pretty cool.. told you imma newb.
Yes, install HardSpl first on your X1. Then you are free to install any custom ROM.
Make sure you read the entire thread before installing any custom ROM. Most have small bugs. The thread's contents usually give the solutions to any problems.
Good Luck

I'd suggest you to read THIS THREAD FIRST before anything
Rule 1: read and search
Rule 2: read and search
Rule 3: read and search
Regarding your question, my particular suggestion would be to start playing with your phone "stock" as it comes by default: get used to panels, Windows Mobile, etc...
Then, after a week or so (or when you get bored of all the included stuff), go to the Panels Library sticky post @ themes & apps subforum, Norti's apps collection sticky post @ main subforum, and the ROMs Library sticky post @ ROM development subforum

Really now, I know it annoys people when someone (a noob usually) demands a certain thing and that was already discussed on the forum. Sometimes it annoys me as well
BUT
PEOPLE, the search function on the forums IS CRAP. IT does NOT compare to a google search where you get only the interesting bits, depending on the rating of a link and so on. And most of the times, because you're a noob YOU DONT KNOW what the hell you're looking for.
Let's not get pissed off and immediately post a "USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION a$$%£*e" (im certainly not talking about you gtrab, but I did see a lot of other people posting this as a reply to a noobs demands) and instead maybe have a noob section, with Q&As and sticky posts where they can ask everything there. Maybe even have someone create a "first day guide to using the Xperia". Or at least have some sticky posts instead of the ones that we have here and which I personally find crappy (except "X1 programs, panels, tweaks, fixes [COLLECTION]", "Xperia ROM and Guides", "[Resources] Xperia Wiki Page and useful Links" for the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 forum )
Anyway, this is my two cents on the matter...

Chome Action URL and icon number for IE

I'd like to edit or create a sliding panel in Ookba's latest EVO ROM release for IE. I have an idea of how to do it (or at least try) but would appreciate it if someone could post the action URL needed for IE and the icon/picture number. With those I think I can get into trouble on my own. I did a semi-serious search but didn't turn up anything that helped me out. Thanks in advance.
You guys are not following the rules!
This is a 3VO Rom question, and it should be posted in the proper thread , not make a new one.
All you guys are doing is making more clutter , more amount of results , when someone does a search. Please keep questions in the proper thread.

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
