I just got an MDA, screen busted and i just replaced it with the service manual. I picked up a 2gb card to use with it. But i know of nothing to do with this phone in terms of mods and programs. What are most of you guys doing right off the bat?
I would like to overclock this unit a little. download that magic button programed to close all the programs and save my battery life. Maybe get a today screen plug in for my mp3 playing.
Are there any stickies or pages that give a rookie a general guide line of the basics that can be done to this phone. I've been a couple of forums and there are always stickies teaching the noobs with general guide lines of the popular things done and questions as well.

1. wheni try to download opera browser it asks me if i want to download the high or low memory version.. which one do i use?
2. i am trying to watch youtube videos so i downloaded flashplayer 7 and used opera as my browser to go to youtube.com but is keeps freezing and crashing to the point where i have to soft reset my phone.. why is this happening?
3 i am using battery status to overclock to 260.. is this the recommended speed?
4. whats the best way to allocate memory? free up some memory..?
i have alot more questions and will ask them as i remember them..
thx
Can you please search the forum first before you start asking these questions? We all had to search when we first got the device, no reason that you can't either...
maybe i already have done a search and could get any answers.. next time if u have nothing good to say dont say it..
id prefer to not be answered than be told to do something i already did.
have a good one sir
theres plenty of topics with battery status mentioned and the recommended or tested speeds
you could've posted in a topic that was already started about the Youtube on the wing.... you dont even have to search for this one, its in one of this Herald sub-forums.
and theres PLENTY of topics that speak of how to free up memory, such as hard resetting and when the device boots back up and says its about to customize, do a soft reset (pull battery or turn off phone)

3: Search
4: Search (hint: pagepool herald, only attempt when more experienced)
Please don't post the other questions when not searched GOOD enough, but every new member need to be directed Just like me with my first posts
1. The Dutchman was faster!!!
2. I also had probs with Flashplayer 7 on my device. It totaly crashed my system, needed to hardreset. so I gave up trying youtube on my XDA.
3. 260Mhz is good enough, but you will suffer alot in battery drain. CPU scaler of BatteryStatus might be also an option for you (More about BatteryStatus in the Prophet subforum, easy to find it's a sticky thread)
4. As Dutchman said, resizing the pagepool is a good way, but definitly only for experienced users. You can brick your device easily. A simpler approach is to stop certain programs from running at startup or in the background. You can get rid of your programs in your tray,e.g.
I know the forums search is not the best, but with a bit more patience you might have been more successful and you would have a nicer start here in this forum. As you could see, in the response of Dutchman and me your questions have already been covered and discussed more or less intensively.
Anyway, all the best with your Wing and have fun here

Cant we all just get along...
Can we get back to the issues and stop the foolishness?
new here would like to know if any one could help me find a program to take out the useless programs on my cingular 8525 and if any one knows how to change the splash screens
thanks
Welcome.
Welcome to the forum. There is alot of useful information here. The first thing is to get to know where and how to use the phone from front to back. You should start by reading the wiki. Everything you would ever want to know is there. As for changing things around on your phone, you should learn about it first. Last thing you would want to do is mess up your phone by not knowing and understanding what your doing. When in doubt dont do anything unless your sure of it. Also use the search button, it will be your best friend in time of need.
Welcome on board bubba433.
nyc_medic's advice is good. Particularly as removing pre-packaged applications from your phone is not as straightforward as it sounds as it requires changes to be made to the extended rom - that's quite a learning curve.

I'm new to the whole customization here. I know how to install a few things, but not quite sure what all i need. I have the 8525 and I want to change my theme. I want some of the features that this phone has:
phone at top
how do i get the weather to look like that- and at the top of the screen
is that a seprate program, or what.
also the icons under that. thanks for any help
the weather thing is called htc home, you can find it all over this forum. in fact, someone just has another thread on this in this very forum with a download link in there.
and the icons at the bottom......the name is in the thread title of that link
Sorry guys, just figured it out, and thought it would have been more complicated. Turns out I wasn't asking much
Mate, word of advice, before you start flashing OS's PLEASE READ A BIT AND HARD SPL YOUR PHONE.......(makes it easier to recover if/when something goes wrong) I think most people have had experiance with a brick at one time or another...
We dont mind helping out with stuff ( it can be fun to help and gives a nice fuzzy feeling when things go right) but if you research a bit first you will generally find your question has been answered MULTIPLE times over. If you still have problems ask away... Answers will be more forthcoming when people see some research has been done...
Anyways, Welcome and happy flashing...
hey guys, i got a new xperia last night. Now i know there are many tweaks out there... wat are the best or main ones to improve ANYTHING on the phone, please share.
You're new here, so the first thing you should do is READ...and do it lots.
Take things one step at a time - you've just got your new device, so play with it as it is first. Learn it's features and quirks, discover things that bug YOU, then start investigating ways of fixing them.
There's no point spending time fixing things that bug other people, you need to figure out what YOU want.
My own personal conclusion about WM6 devices is generally that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. If you're happy with something then leave it be. Just because others have different expectations doesn't mean you should too.
If I were you I would start reading the wiki

Piece of cake: Read here in the forums, especialy the sticky threads up in the front list, then READ a little more and keep reading
You'll find lots of interesting stuff for the xperia, which ROM is better or which app should I install? well... you will have to read, search and find for yourself the apps/ROMs that fit your requirements and needs
BTW: welcome to the developers forum
If you want to mess around with different programs I would recommend you get some sort of backup program for your contacts, messages and so on. Something like PIM Backup or Spb Backup. Why am I saying this; You are surely gonna f*** up your device a couple of times in the beginning and then would need to hard reset.
Hard reset = Reset to firmware default (Like it was when you bought it if you haven't flashed anything) deleting any configuration settings and installed programs etc.
Soft reset = Rebooting (Like restarting your computer's operating system).
Don't do anything with your phone unless you are sure what you are doing. Read up on anything if you are the smallest bit in doubt!
Try to use the search function in the forum as there is a big possibility someone has asked the same question before.
Good luck.
Welcome to the greatest forum on the internetz . I can only tell you what i did. Hope that helps.
1 - Go to google and type xperia. Find some good forums about it. (seems you already got that one in the bag).
2 - Read some info about your device. What is an ARM processor, what is windows mobile, what kind of games can you play, the resolution of the device +'s and -'s. Start with the small things, before you jump to ROMs, flashing etc.
3 - Read the sticky topics in this forum.
4 - After you have done some reading decide what you want and search the forum for info about programs or games you might like. Almost all the problems you encounter or questions you might have, have been discussed in the past.
5 - Customize your x1 .
6 - And if i may quote maedox - "Don't do anything with your phone unless you are sure what you are doing. Read up on anything if you are the smallest bit in doubt!"
That's what i did. I had to hard reset it a few times but now i got my fair share of experimenting and i have customized it to my tastes. The looks, the games, the programs .
Apologies for starting this, and I'm sure that after several days of reading through thousands of pages of forum I might find the info.
However, I need the basic very important stuff ASAP so I can get on with life whilst trawling the forum.
My HD2 arrived yesterday morning, and I'm already discovering patches and stuff;
What do I NEED to do asap so that my phone will work nicely while I get used to it? - and then I can hack it to death at my leisure
One thing I haven't found yet, is how to turn on receipts for SMS - I know where the setting was on my old phone but can't find it here.
My last phone was TyTN II (the older one that doesn't tilt, no gps) - I am really really missing my keyboard, but I'll get use to it.
Easy question to answer. Essential reading first off is to find and read the "Hints & Tips" thread on here. Once done also read the "Don't start a new thread" one to give you some good info.
Also you will need to use this tool a lot...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all when searching the forums.
This should get you started. Remember virtually everything you may think of has almost certainly been mentioned on here so PLEASE search first.
Finally, please don't take this the wrong way, but please read the manual that is on the SD card. You would be amazed how many questions come up on here where the answers are to be found in the manual.
Good luck.
