guys ive scaned areas but having problems understanding half of what your on about has someone got a guide in simple terms to show us new guys what the potential of these things are bought one, read some reviews found this site and wow blown away. im eager to learn need to know more but need to under stand the basics b4 i can run
many thanks
Do you have any experience with Windows Mobile or is this your first pda?
In general I can recommend you to check out some cool sites and download software to get used to your pda and how it works. One of my favourite sites is pocketpcmag.com - in the best sites section the have tons of links to good sites in many languages.
If you don't understand what people are writing here, don't flash your pda unless you are sure what they are talking about. I read so many threads where people "bricked" their pdas and don't know how to get it working again.
replie thanks
thanks will check the site out its my first phone/pda i feel the need to learn i can do the norm install software to the device but curiosity killed the cat little knowledge IS BAD ive made mistakes in the past and lernt my lesson but still very eager
My own experiance is that sometimes you need to take an educated leap of faith - I am no technical genius but I have an XDA running B&B 4.1, ripping DivX movies to TCPMP and changing my Splash screen.
Pretty much this is all thanks to the great work done on this site - First I suggest yuo browse, read what people are saying, look out for the pit falls (make sure you run USPL before flashing any new ROMs) but more importantly share you experiances and questions - people on the forum are always keen to help
So, with my WinMo phone, I used ppcgeeks and here, and was able to find ROMs, mods, programs, etc of all varieties. However, the N1 is my first foray into Android. I was wondering what other people thought were excellent Android resources, beyond xda-dev.
I will try and watch this thread, and will edit this first post to reflect what others have suggested, so other readers will not have to read the entire thread to find the same thing I am looking for.

Mod Edit - Warez or warez requests are not allowed on XDA
This forum is strictly anti warez, you must avoid that subject here.
For free tweaks and mods, you may check the "themes and apps" section, the very first sticky is a great start, but there are many more.
not a great way to introduce yourself to the forum.
the answer is yes it can, but not with help from anyone on here.
most of the apps aren't expensive, and lot of the themes etc are built by people here in their spare time and shared for free (although it's nice to donate every now and then)
Ok sorry about that guys just trying to choose between this and my iphone
i do apologise for this so i cant mention this type of thing on the entire forum ?

you can mention it, although continued speak of warez is likely to get you a ban.
There are various sites on the net where you can get such apps. However, since this is a developers site and a community who likes to support the developers (remember that without developers, you wouldn't have anything for your phone at all...inclusing cracked apps) we would prefer that you didn't talk about it too much.
Well dont wanna get banned just wanna learn the ins & outs thanks anyway
I can't comment on the warez thing that is unknown territory to me...
But I can reccommend you upgrade your ROM 1.66 - the official release from HTC.
It is the first thing I did when I got mine home...I cannot tell you all the things it updates but I know that I have yet to experience any of the problems people have mentioned in many of the forums that I follow.
And most of all read the hints and tips part of the HD2 forum - it has paid dividens.
And above all stay in touch with this forum - and ask questions...I have yet to not get an answer that helps...

Well,the rules to abide by in this forum...Hope to keep every member in there safe.
Use the Smartphone General forum for GENERIC posts, hacks, tutorials, questions!
If you have a question / tip / hack / trick also applicable to (most) other Smartphone models, please PLEASE post it to the brand new General Smartphone forum. Few Smartphone users check out the forums of other Smartphone models and, therefore, your questions / tips / other stuff will be read by a LOT more people if you post it to a general forum than in just a model-specific one.
As has already been pointed out, everything should be posted to the new General forum that isn’t ONLY related to the particular model. Some examples of what should be posted to the General forum and what should stay in a device-specific one:
* posts like “the HTC Opal has a very bad-quality Camera" should stay in the device-specific Opal subforum because it’sonly the Opal that is affected by this problem. The same stands for problems with the bootloaders of a given model or specific ROM upgrades, ROM versions, unlocking etc. only applicable to a given model (and nothing else).
* posts like Live Messenger CAB’s , OpenVPN hacks hacking etc. should go to the General forum because these hacks, information etc. can be used on (almost) ALL Smartphone models.
* if you have a question that you feel can be answered by other Smartphone users, do NOT post it to a device-specific forum, but to the generic one. Generic questions are “What Web browsers should I use?”, “How do I configure my e-mail client?”, “How do I install Flash on my device” and so on. ONLY post questions like “What about ROM version X.Y for Smartphone model XY”, “How do I enable HSDPA in model XY”, “Where should I get WM6.1 for model Opal”, “I have problems with the Camera of my Opal”, “My Opal’s buttons are hard to press” – that is, questions you’re absolutely sure about belonging to model-specific forums.
Also, make sure you continuously monitor the forum because I’ll post a lot of brand new Smartphone-related information in there.
Again and again,
1. POST ALL your questions / tips / hacks in the General forum if you find it can also apply to / answered by the owners of other Smartphone models
2. frequently visit the new forum for new tips / questions and, last but not least, my tutorials / roundups
thanks to Menneisyys for the rules...

Things of the Past!
It hurts to see that there is No-Activity going on in this forum...The forum was active at one time!
But now,i guess all of the shine is gone....The wait for Jagan's evo series,Pajerms fabulous ROM's,some or the other development and innumerable Q & A's...What fun it was...Some crazy tantrums,Mod-Edits,Personal Messages,Application requests,frequent checking in and out of the forum....It doesn't happen these days!
Well,I am keeping this thread open...Please do post your concerns! How much ever silly they are...
Keep this forum alive guys...We need you all!
Thanks!
Jagan's busy regarding his exams, Pajerm bricked his Opal, Android not yet fully functional, no news except from this thread?! Argh! I guess Opal's really dying
Bad show!
What are the other members doing???We don't have only Jagan and Pajerm as the heart and soul of this forum...We had a really good team of beta testers (for all ROMs)..A good Italian discussion thread(later asked to continue and translate in English)...I guess the device had a shorter life span...May be people upgraded their devices or are rather not interested to develop due to limited functionality of the device...Bad show guyz...

You really can't blame others for this, with a lot of new devices coming out, it just show that Opal is really limited with regards to its hardware capabilities. *sigh* I just learned how to flash my Opal recently, but I guess it ends here

Well,thats what i just said!!!
The Opal does have some limitations and i think all the members must have migrated out to a new device and forum!!!
I have an idea, look at my signature, if what I wrote goes against the rules of the forum then tell me and I remove everything at once.
Good little phone
Yes, the Opal might be a bit older, but I have found that it is a great little phone especially when you upgrade the ROM to a WM6.5 or greater.
It doesn't have a large screen or isn't as fast as some of them out there, but if you don't have a data plan or don't do much on-line and want a good Pocket PC / Cell Phone it works just fine.
And I for one will be happy to help Pajerm get another Opal.
United We Stand-No One Dares To Divide Us!!!
Well, yes Pajerm,I'd like to help,all you can do is tell me the procedure...And 1 more thing.Can you organise a you tube thread which shows us how to install,use[kitchen] and make ROM's for Opal using kitchens???
I'd help you with the thread...I mean everyone will help...You be sure to record and take screenshots and you may mail them to me if you are busy!
I'd post it here...
Thanks!

Well... most of you in this section are devs.. so all of you must have received the email regarding the allowance of VoIP apps in the Samsung app store.... Well now that Samsung isn't the one blocking stuff, i think it is high time we have some VoIP apps out there!!! Well its been a real long wait... i have posted in the fring phone support request forum.... But haven't received a reply to it yet.... I think we all should go there and storm them with replies to really get them working on this.... And I thought of skype also... But i dont think they really look for requests on their support forum... .
Here is the link to fring forum.... Those who post there also reply to this...
And please do post there and lets have some VoIP apps up there!!! Or we could also make one!!!

@waveboy - You are welcome..!
I have covered mysamsungwave.... I ll do the rest one by one.... I have my xams goin on so am not very active nowadays....
yeah even i have exams....... i can cover the italian blogs. one more i found out but dint post on is bada-world.pl
i have created a thread on ipmart.
I created a thread on samsungwaveforum.com but that forum is notorious for deleting threads that link to other forums....i created a thread once to inform people of the bada section at XDA & it was deleted by an admin. he said we should not talk about hacking, modding stuff & let samsung sort it all out themselves. he even said that i had gone a step too far by asking people to join another forum...so i don't know if this thread will survive.
