Update notification (for new releases) - About xda-developers.com

Hi folks
there are a lot of software developers which release their software in the specific forum, for example "Windows Mobile Software Development".
Normally all do it the same way: the first post contains the latest software version, and then the disucussion is ongoing.
when a new version is coming, the author is editing the first post with the release notes and the new link. then the discussion continues at the end of the thread for the new version.
As a user of some tools, I want to know when a new version is released.
The problem is that I did not found a way to get a notification for this.
A subscription to the thread for new posts is not helping. It needs something like 'subscription for editing the first post'.
It would be great to have a such feature here.
Regards
BigMani

I see this is your first post at XDA. Please start by reading the XDA rules, it seems you must have missed them:

For future reference, please use the XDA search tool and read before creating a whole new thread for something that has been asked previously. You posted in the correct sub-forum, and it would have only taken a minute or two to find your answer. The link to an installable .cab for the TP2 is below.

[Q] Noob here

Hello,
I was needing an update for my htc tilt 2. everyone is talking about new buttons and new touch flow interface. I just purchesed it in jan. 2010. I had some expereance with the palm updating, upgrading, and unlocking. Is it the same? do i need a 32bit os or can i just use the 64bit i am on now?
any links to anything about it would help me and the other new users out there.
Thanks,

Everything you need to know about flashing a custom ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
And the parent forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Or if you want an "official" ROM instead of a custom, user-made ROM, you can flash the new ATT ROM (leaked, not officially released yet). It contains the HTC Sense 2.5 interface, which is sweet IMO:

Also, you should use more descriptive titles to your threads. So many people use titles like "Question" or "Please help". Its good to have some idea of what the thread is going to be about.
Thanks for the help!

rom version related posts

When a developer publishes a new rom version,
all of the rom's forum titles are changed to the new title.
if I want to read/post concerning a specific version -
it takes ages to find the right place for it.
why not announce the new version in the OP but leave the old titles as they are ?
anybody feels the same ?
The only thing that generally changes in the title is the latest release date. It helps when people are choosing which rom they want. I personally wouldn't have it any other way and it is pretty typical format.
hey guys maybe wring forum but please direct me to the right one? i am after a ics rom that i can flash onto my samsung galaxy s2 4g GT-I9210T
Wrong thread but that's OK. Check out development here:

[TOOL] Improved Version of Seven-Eighter

Over the past few days, I have been working on a new version of Seven-Eighter based off of the source code that Jaxbot kindly provided. I have made numerous improvements to the original version.
One of those improvements is instead of embedding the links to the update files as strings in the actual program, my version of Seven-Eighter downloads a config file from the internet which contains the links to the update files. In this manner, you, the user, do not have to download a new version of the program every time Microsoft releases a new update for Windows Phone 7.x. All I have to do on my end when a new update comes out is to just update the config file once I find links for the new update.
Some more improvements include improved error handling and some better instruction to help you with the update process. If you haven't yet, you should really check it out. I am curious as to what people think of my version compared to the original.
You can find the link to download my version of Seven-Eighter on my blog here: http://bit.ly/ZOzAz9
Now as such, I am always looking to improve. I welcome any and all suggestions. If you want to throw something my way to help with development you are welcome to do so, but not required (your satisfaction works just as well, check my signature for instructions).
Nice work!

To be honest, I didn't test my version of Seven-Eighter with a custom rom image (only stock factory rom image). What build is it currently running?
I have the exact same question.
I pretty much bricked by bootlaoder on my AT&T HD7S using the initial version of SevenEighter from jaxbot and now can't even use the gold card method to downgrade since I need it unlocked.
My RGB bootloader screen only shows one line of text at the top in the red and nothing in the white space where it should say USB HOST/Loader Mode.
But at least I had a 7.5 Zune backup that I can restore to, the only thing being that it doesn't restore my bootloader.
So, question is, can I use your software to upgrade to a custom unlocked 7.8?
Thank you!
I was finally able to get my Focus S upgraded to 7.8. Got tired of waiting. I had a problem with the application and had to close it. when I relaunched, it continues where it left off. Nice! I left the update.log just in case.
Now I just need to unlock it for side loading. Anyone recommend ways that still work? Thanks.
Will

Screenshot please ?
anybody updated at&t titan 2 to 7.8?
Yes. The seveneighter app worked perfectly. I just wish I could install the version of htc connection setup I had on my hd2 so I could change my apn settings for my carrier instead of being locked out of my mms.

[Feature request] Sort topics by last time edited

Hello everybody,
I can't figure out how no one asked for this feature before me xD
It's all in the title : I would like to sort a forum's topic by last time edited, and/or, at least, have the last edit date below the publish date when applicable.
For example, if I want to know what's the most updated ROM for some old device I have, considering the index list isn't updated since a while (which is fine), it would be useful if I didn't have to open all threads in the android development section to see which has been updated recently.
I know that posters often put the last ROM update in the topic's title, but not everybody does it.
Thanks !
EDIT : so I actually made a userscript for it lol
