Just bought an XDA mini S, what to do next? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi
Just upgraded to a XDA Mini S on O2
I've heard about removing certain programs which cause it to run slow and install a few "better" programs too.
Can someone point/tell me where to go next.
Thanks

Can anyone advise some cool stuff for XDA 2 ?????

Hi all,
OK so I bought my xda 1, about 2 months ago. After about a month I instaled the fantastic XDA developers rom 1.2. Wow, so much cool stuff. This is my first PDA, and I gotta say it's grown on me fast, so much so, I proudly took delivery of an xda 2, today .
Now back to my question, I'm not too clued up on Pocket PC OS, so what cool apps can I now use on my xda 2. I remember reading somewhere that loads of the apps in 1.2 won't work on the xda 2 OS.
Please advise.
Apps like...
pocketnav
eval
total commander
pocketchat
divx
gprsmonitor
and others....
oh and someone suggest a decent game so I can show of my new toy!
Cheers, Shire
It's hard to suggest something like that without knowing your personal prefrences Do search in Google, forums here, pocketpcpassion and pocketocthoughts it's a good start
re
aye, I apologise for such an open ended question, a bit silly of me really.
I guess I was really being a bit lazy in hoping peeps would recomend their favourite bits of cool stuff and where I could get it, rather than searching the net :wink:
I have looked around a few places, but get confused over the operating system, and processor type.
xda 2 is
PXA263 processor, umm does that mean it's ARM ?
and runs Windows Mobile 2003 ? umm never seem to see this mentioned as being an OS that apps can run on, or do I assume anything that runs on PPC2002 will run on the xda 2 :roll:
You can tell from above comments I need a little guidance.
Cheers, Shire

XDA IIs Questions

Hi,
I think these are probably often asked questions, but the 'search' function wasn't being too helpful, so apologies if they are duplicates. I have the following questions:
1. I have just been in an O2 shop and the guy in there suggested that the maximum memory you should put in an XDA IIs is 512MB as anything over this slows it down. However, I have seen on the xda mini site that they specify that they have tested with 1GB of memory. Ideally, I would like to put a 5GB card in it. What is the maximum amount of memory I could put in and what would be the performance implications?
2. Will the XDA IIs support the upgrade to Windows Mobile 2005?
3. Is there going to be an XDA III released in the UK soon? Should I wait for that?
Many thanks.
Frank
Anyone?
2 that depend on if anybody will release a 2005 rom for it
htc or tmobile or o2 or somebody like that is needed to release a rom or leak it because the 2005 rom for xda2 cant be used
1 havent heard about issues with SD cards which i'm asuming you talk about when you talk about addin memory
would suppose a 5GB sd card would be VERY expensive though
1) The biggest cards available now are 2gb
2) The hardware is easily capable of running it, but there is on word on if it will ever be made available
3) The XDA IIs is called the XDA III elsewhere - they are the exact same device.
Hi Dabs,
thanks for the response.
1). Oh ok, so how about the exaxt same question for a a 5GB CF card instead?
2). Ah, so theres a possible problem then.
3). Oh ok, cool, thanks for clearing that up.
many thanks
Frank
no CF slot on xda. dumb q
dumb question? I was told by one of the advisors on the Leeds O2 Business Centre that the XDA IIs could take an SD or a CF memory card. Who am I not to beleive him?
GIGO my friend.
3) The XDA IIs is called the XDA III elsewhere - they are the exact same device.

that may not be the case some people have been reporting that o2 will interduce this as xdaIII

[Q] HTC Wildfire For 190$ >>> HELP !!

Hi guys
HTC Wildfire today have lanched in UAE and they are selling it for 190$ ( one week only )
without contract
the orginal price is 380$
Is it a good deal ?
Do you advice me to buy it ?
Do it have problems ?
Please answer quickly
thanks
Pretty good deal, you should go for it.
Do it have problems ?
The only - is the low res screen and bad cpu.
But there is great custom ROMS and nice overclock kernels, and soon the CyanogenMod 6.0 will be released for the Wildfire.
Buy it!
If I recall correctly the UAE version has no android market.
Can i install Windows Live Messenger in it ?
I think its possible to get the market installed, correct me if I'm wrong... And if so, yes, you can have msn on it.

Problems: Not really that much, only that not all games can run on the phone, and some can but run very slowly.
Yes, you install all games and apps you want?
I think you'll have to root the phone to manage to get the market on, if there's no market on the phone when you buy it. Its very easy to do, just download UnRevoked, plug in you phone and the program will pretty much do everything else. Then I recommend you installing a custom ROM, like openFire or Wildpuzzle ROM, and soon we will have CynaogenMod for Wildfire, which will make your phone alot faster.
I found 3 or 4 apps in the market that are MSN/ Live messengers. I personally use the Trillian app, than is a universal messenger app. It world on yahoo,MSN,gmail, even Skype networks.

And I personally use eBuddy.
With the new openfire ROM I'd reccomend rooting and installing it, 5MFLOPS is almost twice stock speed.
Yep, just had the openFire 2.0 update, and damn. Its like a new phone, its awesome!

XDA Developer's App

Hi All,
when will there be a XDA Developer's app released for WinMo? The Android version is almost one year old and still no signs of a WinMo version. I'm very disappointed by that, cause I use this site everyday, are pretty active on it and still not able to use my HD2 (except via browser of course), to have access to it by using a, for WinMo developed, app. And to be very clear about my question, no I'm not going to think of using Android for that.
regards, Kuzibri
we also need one for wp7 cant find it if there is one

AndroidRevolution HD for note 2 1.1 DL

if anybody has a copy of the old AndroidRevolution HD 1.1 for Samsung Galaxy note 2 , i would really appericate it. I've been pulling my hair out trying to get ver 3.0 to work, but with no success. I assumed it would be as easy as 1.1 , but i was wong. One of my mistake was not making a backup after the 1.1 installation. So i'm stuck with an old image that atleast has CWM. So if anybody has this.. Thank you in advance!
thats what my repository is for
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926506
hope it helps bro
This is great,thank you! but the links for the 1.0,1.1, and 2.0 are dead. I really appreciate the effort though. Hoping someone out there has 1.1
then mike must have taken them off...
I have 2.0 and I can Share it via dropbox, but would it help ya?

I can give it a try :fingers-crossed: , but if anything i'll hold on to it for a few unless i can't get 1.1
Why not let us disagnose your problem with 3.0?
AFAIK, 3.0 is much more improved than 1.1.
Here it is, Hope you can get it working. http://db.tt/WBP5iUSZ

Results are in and it WORKS!
With a huge grin on my face: Thank you
as to troubleshooting why 3.0 dosn't work for me, i honestly don't know what to tell you. I spent a lot of time researching it and i'm just dumb founded. If i had a spare note 2 i would try to get to the bottom of it, but alas thats not the case (too scared to brick my phone).
<--- happy once again :victory:

If you go to the main thread, it'll be there. Btw i was able to install 4.0 with no problems at all. Makes me wonder whats so different about 3.0 that makes it fail to install. Anybody have any ideas?

Revolution HD 19.0
Hi all,
First post ! I'm not totally new on this forum, I've been consulting them since my very first Android and Smart phone about 3 years ago when I bought the HTC Desire. I did create account back then in order to communicate with you guys, but I never got the privileges for posting so... I just kept reading.
New account made just now because I wanted to share my experience and maybe post a couple of questions (even tips, who knows) - and it does work now, which is nice ! So... Hello !!
I was an HTC protagonist and hated Samsung for their phones made of Taiwanese plastic and their Apple-like designs and commercial strategies... until my employer introduced a new Android application and provided us with new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 devices. Well - let's just say I was amazed on one hand by the speed and capabilities of my new device and disappointed on the other hand by my beloved HTC One X. It's just that - everything works better ! The only annoying bit was the keyboard, which is far less practical than the one on Sense... but that was easily set right with the installation of AI Keyboard and its Gingerbread theme.
So - my phone had just completed its very first charge after I unpacked it when I decided to root it immediately, install CMW6 recovery and flash it with Revolution HD 19.0 - which worked like a charm !
I'm very happy with this ROM ! My battery lasts clearly longer than that of my colleague's stock devices (about 48h with normal use - including a bit of gaming during number 2's, use of Wifi most of the time and Bluetooth in the car). The response is slightly faster too - for instance that app we use for work works just a little bit faster on mine. Same thing for Youtube, Facebook, Despicable Me (cool game :cyclops: ) and so on...
During the flashing it suggests the installation of some apps - well a few of them weren't installed after flashing although I did select them (I remember Maps was not installed for instance... unfortunately I don't remember what else I had to install manually). That means I'm not entirely sure all the tweaks suggested during the flashing were indeed enabled. I couldn't find any Revolution HD specific section in the settings (like you'd have on a Cyanogen ROM) - and couldn't find any app either to test and play with those tweaks. So can someone tell me if there's a way to find/modify those specific options/tweaks ?
What I also can tell is that one of my colleagues, who received the Note 2 the same day as I did, followed me with the rooting and flashing with his device... He seems to have been less lucky than me - he tells me every once in a while, when waking up the phone, he has no reaction when trying to unlock it (he just uses the screen swipe). He has to put it back to sleep and wake it up again before he can unlock it... Is this something that happens to anyone ?
So there you go - my experience is nearly flawless ! I love this ROM and will continue using it !
By the way : does anyone know how updates work with this ROM ? Do I have to backup my apps and data whenever a new Revolution HD ROM comes out for my phone and restore that backup after upgrade ? Or is there some kind of OTA-like update available ?

Well it was the first thread when searching for Revolution HD on this particular device - for one. And I wasn't allowed replying on the thread from the developer about Revolution HD 19.0.
Had I made a new thread about this, you'd have told me to look up other threads on the same topic before creating a new one...
Anyway, I sincerely apologize if I made your day worse somehow with my irrelevant post in such an old thread... I hope you will forgive me
