cinlular keyboard customization

after the upgrade it seems that the keys are not in correct place on the keyboard. pl., let me know if there is cab for cingular/ATT customers.

If you search, you will find... there are cab's for 8525 keybaord layout all over the place.. search for WMXL 8525 Keyboard Settings

If you've searched and haven't been successful, I say always look in the WIKI first. You can go HERE for what you need....
Hope this helps,

Here's how I find things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
You could type in something like; Cingular Keyboard fix
You could also type in; Cingular symbols mixed up
I know you already got your answer,
but, give it a try anyway, it works great!
For example; I wanted to find info on creating my own Custom ExtRom.
So I typed in extrom, and I found exactly what I was looking for.
And I didn't have to start another thread on a question that has been asked before.

Berdinkerdickle;
Thanks for giving this guy a more practical answer. I know that I made things maybe a bit too easy by giving him the place to go, but I just was getting tired of some of the flames, etc being dished out. I agree that many new members don't search enough but also have found that searching is difficult.
I was seeking a solution that would encourage searching but not blow off the need for an answer, however you did a much better job.
Kudos!

I too was having this problem and just now did a search for the answer.. I did find it here although I ran across this flame thread before I came straight to the answer.. thats bad.

Sorry, but I don't see any 'flames' here. The first response was not real helpful, just the usual 'search' although the suggestion for the specific search was given. The second response was to give him the place to go IF his search attempts were unsuccessful. The third response was a more elegant explanation for search(es) with a practical application, and the fourth was a thanks for the third response which was better than the second! I don't see where any flames were thrown nor intended. There are too many out there already to try to find some that don't really exist!!

Hope this helps
Its in the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ermes_Registry
When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)
I thought this site was a forum. If people dont know where to find info they should not have to get the third degree on searching. My wife does that to me. If she has the answer she does not give it to me. I have to find it on my own.It took me an hour to find this. I hope this helps other people with their phones.

Yes, this is a Forum; below is the definition of a forum from the American Heritage Dictionary.
fo·rum (fôrm, fr-)
n. pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôr, fr)
1.
a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.
b. A public meeting place for open discussion.
c. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program.
2. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation.
3. A court of law; a tribunal.
Nowhere is it stated that a forum is where a few people work spend a great deal of time and effort to give many people the easy way to all the answers. In this forum, the answers can be found and new answers to NEW questions constantly being debated and decided. However, if you've been a reader of the threads you would have an understanding of how things get bogged down with new people not willing to spend a little time searching for the answers to their questions that have already been answered. There's the WIKI, The Wiktionery, Individual Threads, The FTP files, FAQ sections, etc. I prefer to avoid flaming new members but when I continue to see the amount of new members who just jump into a thread with a request for help without any 'audience participation', i.e. READING, SEARCHING, I can certainly understand why some members do such severe flaming and end up leaving the forum out of frustration.
BTW, in the WIKI is a Cingular Keyboard Fix cab that would address the issue mentioned without altering the registry. A quick search reveals it HERE
Best wishes

German Artemis ROM cooking site

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.

Cooking for hermes?

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

you can continue what I have started here ... thank you guys in advance

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..

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.

Thread-specific moderators (for ROM threads)

Hello,
first thanks for this great place! I would have smashed my Touch HD if xda wouldnt exist
I have a suggestion regarding the ROM forums and threads:
As the cookers and chefs are mostly to busy to gather information from the thread and put them in the first(second...) post, it would be really nice if a threadstarter or moderator could assign a normal user as an "thread-specific" moderator (for only the first three posts for example). So volunteers, people very interested in this ROM, could maintain a buglist, tips and hints, fixes and other helpful stuff from the thousand and more pages and make the life for everybody easier.
Its sometimes really hard to find information in the thousand pages. I think a solution like this would help everybody and reduce the senseless spam questions in the ROM forums. All 1-2 pages new users ask the same as people before, and all are getting the answer "Read through the thread, its mentioned 10 pages before" for example.
Whats your opinion about this?

Hi,
1. I don't think this is possible with the standard vB software. And I know the webmasters are adversed to applying "patches" unless they really help.
2. There is a problem of trust. Moderators are selected on here to be trustworthy, not to carry out malicious activities and to always be fair. I've seen plenty of people on here become friends and then enimies as quick as they can. Giving many users complete control over a single thread could become problematic. If you're just speaking about allowing users to edit another users thread. I can't see that been too risky - but still Impractical with the forum software.
An alternative, If the ROM cook would like someone to help manage the thread, they should arange before hand to let someone bag a few posts on the thread when it's first started (I know its not practical to existing threads). Moderators can help add posts when needed and remove any
pesky "First" messages someone might inject in the way .
Just my thoughts
Ta
Dave

Yes you are absolutly right, good idea
It would be enough if the moderators could move a post of the "Useful thread stuff Collecter / Maintainer" at the second or third position of an existing ROM thread, or if the creator already plans it when creating the thread. That would be exact the same without editing the board software or applying hacks...

Well if it's not possible to arrange this beforehand by timing a the time of thread creation, you could indeed ask on of the mods to help you out there. Don't look at me yet though, haven't figured that one out yet
