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.

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

This has been asked before, and more than once. For sure.
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
oh... I feel soooo unconfortable writing this, knowing for sure this has been written before...
MOOOOOODS ???

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...

This is so true.
The search on these forums is crap.

Hello, this is the only vBulletin forum that I browse(I'm more of a SMF guy, I use it and develop for it) and I can't find the place where I can see new topics in which I have participated(Tapatalk does this for this forum). Is there a link where I can see the new topics?

A couple of things you can do:
1
Subscribe to threads you are interested in and receive email notification of new posts being added.
2
Bookmark your profile page http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1153710 and in there go to the statistics tab>Find all posts by. Then by clicking on your posts you can see if there have been any replies.
Not sure if these links might work also:
Find all posts by Dragooon123
Find all threads started by Dragooon123

im using subscription witout email, means i can go to my user cp and i see all threads i subscripted that have new posts
so i dont get too many emails but see all new replys..
The question is,
why does the XDA app offer this feature,
but the full version of the board does not?
I could theoretically run an emulator, run the XDA android app, and use this forum MORE efficiently than actually turning on a laptop. I use the 'participated' area every single day.
That seems backward. There has to be a way to pull this data to a web browser, if it can be pulled to an Android phone.

You should set your usercp so that it will automatically subscribe to threads you reply to (without notification)
Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription&folderid=all to view them.

Sorry to dredge up an old topic, but I haven't found an answer to the same question, and this is the only time I have seen it have replies. Finding threads posted by a user will not do the same thing, the participated thread button in the tapatalk or xda app does. One should not have to subscribe to every thread either, that would be pointless considering that is for threads you REALLY want to follow.
The information is accessible to the app, which means ultimately it would be easy to implement on the website, and it is counter productive you can only find it in app. The best answer I have is find the posts in the app, but if I have to post something longer, or with links, I have to find the thread on the website.
As popular as this site is, this feature would improve quite a bit.. people(maybe more noobs) would actually follow threads they've posted questions on, so the replies aren't a waste of time. How many threads have multiple people asked for more details and the OP never replies.. Subscribing to threads would only work on any new posts, and some of my oldest ones I would still want to know activity for. This all seems obvious.
I suppose you could call me a little jaded, but that's just what I have to live with.
Question this morning is this......
A person browses the Rom threads (especially HTC update threads) or anything else that has a file somewhere in it, and you're bound to see countless posts that say nothing more then
downloading now
Why? Why do so many people post that they're "downloading now"?
That's like posting that I"m "breathing now" or "I'm typing now"
Wouldn't it make more sense (no pun intended) to download the damn thing, install whatever, then comment on something at that point?
What exactly is the point of telling the entire community that you're downloading a file? We know the file is there, we know in order for you to get the file, you have to download it, so what is the purpose?
Anxiously awaiting the learned people of this site to be able to enlighten me on this curious practice, so as I may wonder about something else
I don't know. After an initial post of a thread, I would want to know that people are at least responding. Also when someone comments it boosts the thread toward the front of the forum where it is seen by even more people, a la free advertising.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
So basically, "I'm Downloading this" is the new "BUMP"
"i am gonna try this..downloading now"... you mean these kind?
Reading your post now. I'll reply in a minute.
Well lets say you developed a rom that you were proud of and put a lot of work into...
Would you rather see someone's excitement to download something you created or just a thread of silence?

Why should there be a thread of silence? Wouldn't you expect people to download the ROM and check it out and THEN post their comments? You've also got all the people asking questions before they download it too. If I developed a ROM, I know I wouldn't want my thread cluttered up with a bunch of people telling me they're downloading the file.. well duh I would want people to download the ROM and post back some constructive criticism, or some high praise, or a bug report, or some suggestions. Now THAT would make me feel good.
My question was why wouldn't a person download the file, install it and then report back with a comment?
A person can download a file in a few minutes, backup their data in say 10 mins, install the ROM (using a ROM in this case) and restore their data in 10 mins, play with it for 10 mins, THEN they can comment on the ROM.
Seems to me, it's a nothing but cluttering up the thread. If a person has a ROM, we KNOW you have to download the file if you want to check it out. Why tell us? Save your post for a 1/2 hour later after you've installed it and then tell us your comments or questions or issues.
I don't know about anyone else, but when I read a thread, I like to read informative information in it, not wade thru countless posts of I"m downloading the damn thing
You ever see a HTC update release thread... people in these are so foaming at the mouth, they go one step further... besides telling us they're DOWNLOADING the file, a few minutes later, we get the BREAKING NEWS that they are at 70% of the download.
People are going to post as they wish, my question was simply to find out if anyone had a valid reason for doing so, so that I may get my beauty sleep tonight
This is a bit of a satirical take on the question, so let's keep the comments light.
So far, we have these conspiracies for the "downloading now" posts ....
1. Do it to bump the post - highly unnecessary IMO - I'm a firm believer in threads standing on their own
2. A sign of interest - shouldn't everyone also post "I'm reading your thread" to let everyone know they're reading the thread too?

Good one ! I like that Exactly my point.
Going to lunch now In my car Probably some kind of chicken Details later
Hat's off to the OP for the astute observation.
Along those lines; has anyone done a search for the string "downloading now"? Would be interesting to get a thread/forum count.
Doing nothing now...
sent from my rooted EVO 4G
with XDA app
So, I get updates from XDA via facebook and twitter, which is nice! The most recent one was about the iheartradio 3.0.3 app. There was a small thread and a link to the .apk for the app. Someone else had mentioned that they couldn't find the app in the market. So I went to the market on my PC36100 and I couldn't find it either. And then I remembered that the android market was now categorizing apps "not compatible" with particular devices. So, I went to the market via the web and there it was: iheartradio 3.0.3 - Not Compatible with my device! So, I went to the XDA thread to leave a little note about what I had found. WRONG! Because I have not posted 10 (threads, posts, replies?) I could not post to that particular "development thread". It's not a development thread, its an app notice, but I digress. I understand why XDA implemented this 10 post minimum, but it is a kind of a bummer. I don't post much on XDA because my knowledge of android is plebeian at best and the 10 post minimum doesn't help. I understand members, mods and devs are probably pretty tired of the vague, redundant and repetitive questions of the etiquette uninitiated and digitally uneducated masses... I'm just saying! [/RANT]
On the bright side, posting this increased your post count, and as of right now looks like you've broken the 10 post barrier. So, hooray, issue resolved!
i think the dev section is for roms only. u woulda got flamed bad. u coulda posted in the themes and apps section cuz u r talkin about an app
Ok, awesome for the thanks feature. Thanks to that.
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
