Hi. I've just purchased my first Touch Pro phone, and i'm not liking the Vodafone GUI that comes with it and a friend that uses the Touch Pro 1 says I can get rid of the Vodafone interface for the standard TF3D interface using a program avilable on this site, which I'm not able to find. But it's something to do with putting the original HTC interface over it.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could link me a beginners guide to do this or even post one up themselves. Thanks.
Try using search. I know everyone says it, but there is actually an entire thread called "Vodafone UK users only" which if you just bothered to read the forum you would have found, like I did!
There are two suggested ways to overcome the Vodafone-ification of the otherwise lovely TP2, and comments from users about them

Well I tried searching, but since what I'm not really sure what im searching for I didn't get very far, I was using terms orientated around TF3D keywords. I've found the thread you've mentioned, but that's not exactly a beginners explination.
Hello,
since a few weeks now the SE website and phone links (that are built in by SE) cannot connect to the SE Server anymore. At least for the Xperia X1 and X2.
Anybody knows a way to connect to them? The wap.se site comes up with "Old device....forget about it". So that is a no go.
I would want some panels and also the WATERLEVEL java program for the X2.
That one is for TouchScreen. The 2 different ones floating around on the internet are for older devices.
Also, I would like to get some games and panels for the X1 too.
Perhaps somebody has those jar/jad files for the waterlevel for X2???
Thanks in advance.
What about using google? It took me at least 30 seconds to google what you are asking for. I mean it's not that hard

Are you trying to be funny or plain ignorant?
How about you read my post again and if you have anything useful, like a solution to the questions there.... let me and the rest of us know.
But don't put up some .... google crap that gives specs of the phones. Dude, I have them both and know the specs!
Waste of time

I'm also looking into panels but I can not find them.
If you know anything you can tell me?
Here is a Thread with Panels they are confused in the posts. You have to read every post. But that was something I found.
Good Luck finding the right Panel for X1
Here are both version: one for WinMo with accelerometer and the second for WaterLevel jar/jad

first link missing...
Am I the only one that thinks so? I see all these threads being quickly responded to saying "use the search before posting, thread closed, etc.. ". Well if search worked halfway decent on this site these threads would be unnecessary. I'm sure a good percentage are noobs being lazy, but for those of us actually looking for legit info, well, good luck. Maybe it's just xda's mobile app search function. I have not used the websites search on the full site to compare. Again, is it just me? Somebody help me out here..
Example: there is a thread asking for the .Apk file for teeter. A mod jumped in saying use the search, and locked the thread. I'm interested in this game aswell, so I used the search. And nothing..
What am I missing?

Just did a search for teeter apk and recieved loads of results, many of which detail where to get it from and how to install it
Even starting a new thread with teeter apk in it's title brings up a list of similar threads.
Something is deft wrong then. Just did the same search (teeter. Apk) and got nothing but random threads that are fiftyleven pages long. Guess u just need patience and free time to find what you need.. Oh well

A tedious search is worth not getting flamed for not lol

You just have to know how to use it. Kind of like Google search. Know what you want or need and be able to use terms or phrases to get you results. I joined xda last year and since then I haven't had any problems with the search feature. I either find the solution using search or figure it out on my own. I really don't understand how people mess up some times. Usually devs explain things really well, to the point where they are holding your hand. I love xda and couldn't imagine an android experience w/o it. Thanks xda!

i'm a new member n just flashed my phone with a custom rom. now my phone has incoming call delay where the phone only starts ringing after 2-3 times ring tones at the other side. n since i'm a new member, i cant post to development thread. i need to have posted at least 8-10 posts to other general threads only i can post to that thread. i thought i can faster post 8-10 posts so i can ask for help but there is a 5 min delays between post for new member.
i tried the search function, many results returned but i cant find a solution n i urgently need to ask for solution in the proper thread. but this is only my 3rd or 4th post.
i'm sorry if i complained.
kinda frustrated to that i have to randomly post to get off the 10 posts limit...
or is there any better way?
@ACis0014.. it's nothing at all like google search... Not even remotely similar. With google, you type your query and you have answers damn near immediately. Here, it looks as though it brings up threads that your search query might be mentioned in and I guess it's up to us to flip thru all the hundreds of pages and posts to find out if it's even the answer we're looking for.
And yes, god forbid we need help right away with an issue and post a question about it. Oh man, it's like burning their flag or something. It is what it is tho I guess. One of those things where you either deal with it, or move on..

I mean I am not here to convince you, that's not my job. You can believe whatever you want. But as I mentioned before I have never had a problem. It's also a matter of working to find your answering. do you expect everything to be handed to you? Rooting and modifying your phone takes work and patience apparently you don't have either one or just aren't trying. If you can't "deal" with the search than stay with stock or visit another website. Personally I don't ask for help until I have exhausted all other options. There's also a sense of pride in rooting and modifying knowing you did something by yourself without really having much experience beforehand. The devs and members here are wonderful who work their asses off for themselves and are courteous enough to share their work without really asking for money. At the most they ask for users to press a damn "thank you" button. Whoop di do! The only real complaint I have about xda is that some members post these stupid, immature comments or act like total douchbags or some think they are the damn xda police who are here to shape everybody up. Thank god my fellow mytouch 4g users are pretty good for the most part!

Lol. You're really trying to earn that xda brown nose badge aren't ya..
Look, The sites itself is fine, I've learned plenty and have done my share of research.I'm just talking about the search function and also the elitists here who think everyone who posts something has to post at a professional developers level. im not talking about your precious xda forum and its devs. This place is the best of the best.. Relax..

Don't use . in the search, only use keywords, so: teeter apk
If you do get stuck with no results that give you the answer, then if one of the results is similar then try posting in there to bump it back to the top.
It's also a good idea (tends to quieten down the "Search n00b!" bunch) to start the post with "I did try to search but came up with nothing useful, so if someone can just direct me to a thread they know about that'd be much appreciated, anyway, my problem is..."
Well, dunno what is up with the search here. I am pretty sure the stock vBulleting search has options to use logical operators such as AND/OR in search terms (even accessible via checkboxes).
Why is it disabled here?

Thanks for the tip.. I usually just google my question and add xda in the query and it usually will give me a list of specific posts and threads containing what I'm looking for.. example: (teeter apk xda) i find this much easier and faster than the forum search..
And also.. Yes, I would like things "just handed to me" when I have a question or problem.. That's what the Internet is for!!! In fact, I think the word Internet is Latin for instant gratification. Or something.. Just sayin..

I think I can live with this kind of search function
most of the forum's search function is like this..

Hmmmm, no answer?
Maybe just hook up a custom Google search here instead? Would work a whole lot better.

Suggesting something here apparently appears about as productive as screaming out for help in the middle of a deep forest. Maybe this sucky crippled search is a "feature", exactly as the crippled "report post" functionality.
Silently ignoring user feedback about apparently broken functionality is really NOT appreciated. The issue will not disappear if you ignore it.
The truly annoying thing about search on this site is half of the time when you want to use it, it is either temporarily disabled or otherwise not working.

I made a short "usability" analysis of the search feature here. Well guys, this way, you would not succeed even 10 years ago, when Google was just starting. Uh.
See below:
I gave up using the search function on the site and in the worst case scenario i search the forum manually (or use google directly)
The search function works fine for me. If you dont know how to use it optimally, thats not the same thing as it sucking
So I was browsing the "Post your homescreen" thread and noticed that almost none of them wrote which widgets/apps they were using to get their screen the way they have it. I remember awhile back somebody had made a post featuring most of these apps in a single thread, for those of us in my situation who have seen the widgets/apps and wondered what they were called. Unfortunately, I'm unable to find it again. I tried doing a quick basic search and had no luck. Does anyone remember this thread? Does it still exist? Do you have a link? Thanks.
