Stealth forum

Why don't we have a Stealth forum in here?

We do, but it has a negative refractive index, it's just that stealthy.
Seriously: I don't think there's been much call for such a thread. slinky.

EDIT: PARTIALLY DELETED TO AVOID CONFUSION....... POLICY IS IF IT ISN'T HTC IT ISN'T GOING TO GET A SECTION

I'm for one... Issue is, I think there were many people here looking around for Stealth-related stuff, but left after finding so little info...

I would welcome it as well - xda-developers is well known site and many former users come here...

Kindly excuse my shameless-ness... But... BUMP!!

appreciate it very much if there's a stealth forum. i'm a newbie to the whole wm5 and using stealth. got lots of issues in o2 apps like o2 plus, ezitext and some others, like rom upgrades and the whole shebang.

I will be anther one.

I'm a stealth fanatic too...

yes please!

same here, i use O2 Stealth too..i want WM6 upgrade

i use O2 Stealth too.

me too .....we are not too bad

hi,my friends ... how to upgrade wm6 on my stealth?any idea?

Hi All,
The stealth isn't a HTC phone, at this moment there is no room for non HTC phones on the forum. Sorry..
Best regards,

But why? The forum is called XDA-developers and it is the O2 XDA Stealth, it doesn't say HTC-developers does it?
O and by the way, isn't the Atom and Stealth produced by the same company, because they are quite simular....?

Our portal page has the following welcome message:
Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a secretive firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.
If you look closely you will also see that not all phones made by HTC have a place on this forum simply because there isn't room to give every phone a forum.
Best regards,
Flar
Site admin.

too bad.. i'm using Stealth too..

Im a Stealth user now too. Works well even in the States on Cingular/ATT. It does seem silly to have not even a small section devoted to xda's of all sort on a xda forum site. There is support for phones almost 5 yrs old that get maybe 1 or 2 new posts a month and this phone is only about 1yr old.
Just because O2 and HTC broke ties doesnt mean xda-developers and xda phones should break ties!

I have had a stealth in the past and would have loved to have seen a stealth forum at the time. IMHO i think that xda-dev would benefit greatly with a stealth forum. In fact I think that creating forums for all Non-HTC phones would be a great idea for the PPC community.
lol @ vijay....its just that stealthy

But if there is not a Stealh forum, could somebody please tell me which phone it is most like?
I think the stealth is quite simular to the atom, but which one? (pure/exec/etc.)

Should HTC Cavalier have it's own page

Well I think it' time to vote should HTC Cavalier be separated from its predecessor HTC Excalibur.
My vote goes YES
Cheers

Did the Cavalier ever get produced by HTC? I thought it was postponed indefinitely?

YES - Own forum

Yes it should have it's own forum.
It has a different processor, different features and is bound to have different nuances and problems.

course it'll get its own forum. you just need to PM the right admin

cool it'll be there soon, no need for a poll for this kind of thing.

Does anyone know the status of getting a Cavalier forum up and running? I've had my Cavalier for a few months know (Dopod C730) and I'm finding the forum info about it is getting spread all over the place since it doesn't have a home anywhere.
I'm especially interested in any solutions to the text input problem with Windows Live Search since that's a show-stopper for me.
PLEASE MAKE A CAVALIER FORUM. (Sorry to raise my voice like that. )

to echo everyone's posts...a Cavalier section would be greatly appreciated/needed....please mods make it happen.......

Any update on this? Us Dopod C730 owners would love not wading through Excalibur posts.

Support to have a Cavalier forum

YES
Yes, it should. It's hard to find the appropriate posts mixed in a dozen forums.
Thanks,
Sandro
DOPOD C730

Agree, I need to unlock my Hongkong C730, and flash Singapore ROM to support Chinese Simplified. thanks

Please,
I vote Yes for a Cavalier forum!
Thanks.

I have to agree, I do not see why there would not be a separate Cavalier / c730
section.

POLL: Start new forums for other devices: O2, Samsung, Gigabyte

Hi friends! I just want to start a poll for voting if we want to have a forum for other non-HTC devices, like the following list:
-O2 (like stealth, atom pure, etc)
-Toshiba
-Samsung
-Gigabyte
In the initial time I think that a separate forum for each manufacturer would be ok...
Basically we are here to share knowledge and expertise about using these great devices, and I think that will be great to add this new forums because while the community is becoming more popular, more users are here to research how to enhance their productivity...
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I agreed to that. Voted already.

i want a forum for Eten x800 VGA with tri-band 3G!
y wouldnt u! Eten x800 is so much better then tytn/hymes.

pros and cons
well if we open up to more manufactures, this would mean more traffic, more knowledge on general forums and more people to donate to this great cause but these are busy forums anyway and the mods and admin have lives to lead. the extra burden is on them so either they appoint more admins and mods or leave it as it is. but as the name is xda developeras maybe they should allow other xda phones from o2.....

Hey, I don't want to scroll even further down!
Seriously, one should be able to hide the unwanted forums.

Hey, I'm trying for four months to get an HTC Cavalier forum on this site and it aint happening. So don't bother.
Cheers

just FYI: whatever the outcome of the poll, this site will be staying HTC only.

why?

@Midget_1990: Well, if the site remains only for HTC devices, it would be great if all HTC devices would have its own forum ;-)
Q: the T-Mobile Shadow (HTC Kii) was released, any chance to place its own forum?

I highly agree with new forums for other devices. I think we can find many great software in other manufacture devices as in HTC devices.

Ipaq hx4700 Forum? (HTC Roadster)

What about a forum for the ipaq hx4700? I know that this website is for HTC PDAs but, the hx4700 was also called the Roadster in some markets and made by HTC. Considering that there's a thread over in the upgrading section with 595,000 views and almost 2000 posts on the hx4700 (and that's just one thread) I think there would be a strong interest in a dedicated forum. Many of the posts are from newbies and not by developers but we do have Kozhura and Menneisyys and many other dev types who have posted quite alot about this device in the past, with Kozhura now on his 4th version of WM6. There seems to be a big following for this device even now with a kitchen having been adapted by vivi to suit it. It would be great to have our own corner somewhere on this wonderful site for our community.
Thank you for the consideration.

Yes, sounds a very good idea
Dirk

Great idea!

Based on what I was able to see this had a 2003 rom and came out in 2004.
We have added a lot of forums for the new devices and I am not sure if there will be enough users to justify a section a few years late.

That is true, however HP did do a (poor) WM5 upgrade and there are at least two unofficial WM6 ROMs. The hx4700 was ahead of its time and still powerful compared to many on the market today; probably because it doesn't have an inbuilt phone.
There is this thread which is nearly up to 2,000 posts; many of the smart phone forums on XDA developers have nowhere near as many posts in total.
If there was a forum just for the hx4700, then maybe that would entice other hx4700 owners to join up to talk things other than just the ROMs.
I bet there are a few super users that would be happy to moderate a dedicated kx4700 forum too?

You guys don't give up do you ?
OK I admit you do have a valid point. I will put it forward to the sysadmin for a section under
Other HTC manufactured phones

Thank you

Thanks again for the consideration. It is an old device but I think there's quite a bit of interest in it.

Touchscreen calibration file for hx4700 needed
Hello hx4700 users,
i need your help. I have screwed up ma calibration data and get stuck in an alignment loop.
Can anyone of you be so kind and send me their touchscreen calibration file als described in this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2416566
Your help is greatly appreciated.
THANKS

thank u for the reviwe

maybe late but still great...i have a bit of roblem with screen,but the rest is ok...and it really was ahead of it's time

I'm also interested in this. I think it would fuel discussing on the hx4700

Hi, on my hx4700 (alkor wm6.1) when I paired my bluetooth audiphones, it`s fine,just if it is like new, no progrmas, but whe I charge some progrmas, I can`t connect the devices, there are no way to use it.
Just when the ipaq is just hard reseted. Anybody know what happen?

Vote for MWg Zinc II ROM cooking

As I can see, there are quite a number of MWg Zinc II users over here and wish to run a cooked ROM on it. But do not know how to do so( including me). We need the help of ROM masters to help us in this. Let's do a vote. If most of us wants a cooked ROM for out MWg Zinc II, we can appeal for help from ROM masters. Let's make a vote.

help us please!

That's not going to happen here!
The Zinc II is not made by HTC, so, XDA DEV is just the wrong place for that! Trying to force a chef to 'get involved' with the Zinc II at XDA via poll won't change the rules but most likely this thread will be closed by a moderator soon ... !

i hope the rom masters are generous enough and willing to take the challenge...and not as negative as junner2003...no offense bro, but unfortunately for us LAY people, we are depending on the skills of the experts...i even got the cooked rom for my original zinc at this forum (Zinc / Mars II, by asus and not by HTC-even though many said that no one here at xda-dev would) , thanks to the many generous and talented guys here...

i agree with u, i think moderator can understand

Yah. I'm sure the moderators will be understanding. ROM masters, we really need your help. We are not forcing you, if you are unable to give us a hand due to some reasons, do let us here know. We won't blame you at all. We just want to have an answer towards our request.

zinc ii rock solid ROM's
count me in. sun_dream perhaps? he's the best cooker!

So far, we are gathering votes slow and steady. We are not asking for a section for MWg. We just would like someone to lend us a helping hand in cooking a ROM.

I don't think anyone else is going to help...but we can collectively try to do this ourselves. I have dumped the imgfs but I cannot find out to reconstruct the directory structure. If anyone wants to know how to dump the ROM I can tell you how I did it

I'm not a technical person. I know nothing about cooking a ROM.

what are you guys talking about didnt you guys do a search, i dont have a zinc but i saw a few roms here and there, you can ask the people who made those to help you out.
and let me get this straight, the zinc is not by htc...well then who made it? i'd like to know cos some one is trying to sell me a used zinc, is it any good.
and i always say the more the merrier so i would vote for zinc development here, i don't see why we shouldn't allow allow all windows mobile devices to be supported here as long as the forums are maintained there shouldn't be any chaos.

I m using a zinc and recently flashed it to 6.1 ported by cruzz. I can say its darn good.

That's good. I used to own a O2 XDA Zinc. I ported it with cruzz's ROM and I find it very good too! But I changed to MWg Zinc II. Currently there's no way to cooked ROM for MWg Zinc II.

if u got the imgfs rom well it is a good start .... but then u have to find the way to flash back the rom & how to recompile it to the finish rom like .xxx (old zinc .abi)

what for cook since its already 6.1, dun think of 6.5 now as its not stable still
maybe you users can join with Eten M810 as its the same project from Arima

I have the Eten m800 and a Zinc ii, Plenty of roms available for the M800, none for the Zinc II

How can we get a cooked ROM for Zinc II?
Just another cat hoping we can get a 6.1 or 6.5 cooked ROM for the Zinc II. I hope the Chefs (Master Cookers) know how much they help us out here? We truly appreciate and donate as much as possible. Thank you.
