Text sound

I recently upgraded to WM6.1 and I can't seem to add the sounds I want for Text Messages.
Either they changed something, or I forgot a step.
Help please

If he did a search he wouldn't needed to make a pointless thread , I wouldn't made a post without an answer, and you wouldn't have made a smartass comment like you know it all. How long did it take you to search for that thread link you posted? I'm sure it would've taken krucifix the same amount of time it took you.

I didn't make a smartass comment until you told me that if I was posting that I should give an answer. The difference between you and I is that I contribute to the forum and I don't make comments about people posting without giving the answers and even after all my time here I still search for answers rather that making threads. The point I'm trying to say is we need people to do some research on the forum for their problems and try to solve them themselves instead of expecting to be given the answers to everything. There is a high percentage that an issue has been covered and resolved on the past and if people would search they could get an answer without the need of a new thread of a topic that is on another thread. Peace..

Spoon-feeding people does nothing to help. If there too lazy to search first before asking, what good do they add to the community? And if he upgraded to 6.1, shouldn't that question have been addressed in the rom thread he's using? Why does it deserve its on special thread when it related to a rom he's using that has its own thread? It was stupid to start a new thread, regardless of whether or not someone gave him the answer. BTW, did you just pull that link out of your head, or did you have to search for it/him?

Imagine yourself lost and ask someone for help but only to get a reply like: "Why don't you learn to read a map dumbass." Tell them what they need and then teach them how to find things themselves.

No No No, people need to use the search then ask for help if the knowledge they are looking for is not available to which considering how much info is on XDA then the answer is generally there..... If not then make a post in the correct thread!!!

Who to ask about closed thread?

Hi everybody,
I wonder why a thread of mine was closed in one of the forums and I really have no idea what I did wrong and even who to ask what and why? (The thread is in the ROM development section of the Topaz forum, concerning cooked ROMs that support handwriting).
Are there seperate admins for each sub-forum and if yes, how can I find them? Or who else can I ask?
thanks & cheers

Any mod will do. You may have either posted warez, links to it/them, instructions on how to get them. Or simply posted in the wrong section altogether.

Thank you for the quick reply. I understand the warez rules and all. But this question... in the ROM development section:
Is there any decent cooked ROM that either supports the official HTC handwriting update for the Topaz or even has it already integrated?

Maybe someone else asked something similar and you are getting penalized for not searching before posting. That is the only other thing that I can think of.

oh dear, if thats the reason, I'm simply to stupid for this forum I searched and poured more than 8 hours yesterday over posts, especially the ROM post, which all have well over 2000 replies. So I know that people are asking about handwriting but the question usually just goes under in the ROM threads....
Nevermind, will post it in the admin question thread where it probably belongs. Owe you a coffee though, let me fix my paypal issues first

Hi tesla33,
Which thread? I'll have a look to see if there was a "closure" reason added. It's possible it may have inadvertently been closed during Spam cleanup by a mod that had multiple browser session/tabs open.
Cheers,

More than likely it was closed because it has nothing to do with rom development. The rom development forum is not the place to ask for specific roms or features. It should have been asked in the general forum.
The Mod should have given you the courtesy of moving it for you or at the very least a short explanation. I have from day one, had a problem with the quick unexplained trigger finger of many mods on this forum. A little common courtesy would be nice.

@denco7:
Agreed. Going to "chalk" it up to an honest mistake made by the moderator who closed it (not me).
@tesla33:
I've re-opened the thread and moved it to the General section. I see no reason why the question can't be asked . The Admins are working on the Search function of late to see about improving it ... cause at the moment, I've found needles in haystacks far sooner than answers.

As far as the searching, once you are in a thread that you think may have some relevant information for you, you will see a button that reads "Search This Thread". Simply put in your search parameters and choose to get "posts" for results. This will make it a lot simpler than going through 2000+ posts.
As far as the transcriber, there are cabs out there since lots of Chefs actually leave this option out due to lack of space in the rom. Let me know if you need help finding the cab.

Thank you, thank you and thank you
Again, I'm not complaining. I was actually considering where to put it and thought "hhmm, I'm asking about custom ROMs wit a certain capability, so better put it in the ROMs sections"
I understand how incredibly difficult it is to maintain a forum of this size and activity (I was once a Diablo2 Battlenet Mod ) and I appreciate the work you all put in there. I probably wouldnt have made this thread if it was my 400th post... after a while you get a feeling for where what goes and also for the search cloud and how to find stuff. But imagine if a newbie comes in here and wants to find out if his new Topaz is an ARM or a SH3 because he/she wants to download the Total Commander Beta... (ok, well maybe this is not the forum for people who dont know what hardware they are using)
I promise I'll behave in the future
Thank you again for sorting this out for me, very much appreciated
P.S.

Understood. But with threads this big, lets assume that somebody asks in Dutty's ROM thread if it supports handwriting on page 100 something. You cant be 100% sure that if the question was answered it contains the word "handwriting" again. So you do have to read to the nect 150 pages to see if somebody actually answered the question (Nobody did, I should know)

The transcriber apps never seem to work as well as HTC own software. I did try some (calligrapher etc) but the results are less than I expected
Ok, I really shut up now

I am actually talking about the transcriber itself, not calligrapher or anything else.

Good morning,
slight misunderstanding here because: dont ask me why but HTC did not include a transcriber in the Topaz ROMs

Backup Application for Touch Pro 2?

Hi, guys
I was just wondereing if there is a possible software out there to backup my Touch Pro 2, like the iphone where you could restore and it would be the same at the same period of time.
Thanks guys for reading, and helping. Kenichi*

No. There is absolutely no backup program ever made for the TP2.
OR
You could do a simple search and find a ton of info about what is available. Read the forum rules before posting. See this very important information, http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=488.

Locking for a lock thread!
Mods-

Questions like that are best searched for over in the Themes and Apps section.
The 2 most widely-used solutions for doing a full-system backup for your TP2 are SPB Backup and Sprite Backup.

Windows Mobile Backup
Windows MyPhone works perfect for backing up and restoring all data, including texts

Yes you can lock my thread. Its fine. I found my solution, seems like you guys are very annoyed when a simple question asked. Good luck to you all. There is no need for this thread anymore.

The problem is not about helping users. It is about letting XDA become so junked up with multiple threads about the same thing because people are too (fill in the blank) to search. Can you imagine how bad it would be if everyone who had a question just started a new thread.
In addition, if you people would read the forum rules you would be informed that searching is the first thing you do before posting. That includes in a thread or starting a new thread.
As long as "helpful" people reply to the (fill in the blank) people that ask without searching, and give them the answer, we will never have control of XDA. It just gets more and more bloated and junked up. Sorry if you don't see that.

EXACTLY ! Kimtyson, you got it on the head
I'd like to add that if these people can't be bothered to spend a little time do a simple thing like search for the answer to their own question then why should anyone else put any effort in ?
At one point there seemed to be a new thread almost everyday asking "My RAM is at x%". What does that achieve apart from pushing legitimate questions off the bottom of the page so people with real problems are less likely to get help ?
I think there should be a 24hr posting ban for anyone starting a thread who blatantly hasn't spent any of their own time trying to sort it out. The forums rules do state you have to search first and maybe by enforcing this we could streamline things a bit.

I closed it based on your OP. This will avoid emails being posted as many ppl do not look at the OP. We can always re-open at a later date if you wish. I see no reason to keep it open. If its thanks your wanting to keep it open for, thats what the thanks button is for
The second one was not my doing.

Yea. I realized that must've been the reason after some thinking. Closing the thread will prevent people from posting more email addresses in the forum. And, they will start PMing me if I can't update the post. Google+ is still invite based and instant sign up links have a 150 limit. That means all those links will expire pretty soon and will need an update.
But, nonetheless, just a suggestion for XDA. It'd be better if EMails are prevented being from posted in all threads. It will only invite harvest bots.

So did you want it to remain open to avoid PMs or will you let me know when to reopen?

I know exactly what you mean by lazy persons, there are just too many people who does not search or try to do something about their issues with their device themselves and just wants to be spoonfeed by others.
But please, bring back your work to the Z1 Compact section, if you don't want to then that's your choice.

I agree, if you're so easily offended by people who aren't even aggressive but just a but dull, you shouldn't make a public release. All others have to deal with this as well, deleting a thread just because somebody posted something that might be considered a "negative comment" because he made a mistake is ridiculous. That doesn't reflect on the dev but that person alone, most people reading here are intelligent enough to recognize that.
Also, if people are making the same mistakes over and over, your documentation is probably lacking, and documentation is part of any release. And if people are supposed to test a release, they need to know how to use it. Plus it would be wiser to listen and consider the possibility that there's an actual bug instead of always saying "nah, you did something wrong".
Sorry to say that because I really appreciate his work and porting the Privacy Guard was a great unique feature, but at times munjeni was just rude for no reason. And this final move is an insult against everybody.
