I have a cingular 8525, and theres people talking about loading tomtom to there 8525, is the GPS function working on it? seems like there is drivers on here for it? and people trying to get it to work? Anyone can give me any info without me going over 70 pages of peoples comments?
Thank you.....and a Thank you for all the people cooking the ROMS...Lets see at ATT/Cingular ROM with Windows Mobile 6.......
Come on man, just read the last few posts out of the GPS threads and you will know. It does not work yet, the software is there (supposedly) what is needed now is an antenna.
If you're not willing to familiarize yourself with the GPS threads, then please just go out and buy a bluetooth GPS and save everyone some time.
thank you
I expected this response, But allot of people have the same question this just makes it simple......Who wants to carry their brick looking hermes and a brick gps module? NO ONE.... but thnak you for the replies....it is very appreciated
If you can't be bothered to read the threads than any attempt you make at enabling gps is likely to result in a brick. So why bother ask?

Gentlemen please. You know what I like about XDA-Dev, compared to some other places, is the generally very helpful and polite manner of the posters. Sometimes something can really wind us up and showing a bit of irritation is fine but now we've shown that let's think how we avoid this problem in future.
Firstly if there is already a thread on a subject it should be used to post a relevant question. So a question about GPS should not be in a new thread like this one.
Secondly, I agree with the above poster who said - you only need to read through the last few posts , not all 70 pages, to know roughly what is happening.
Thirdly, you may get away with far more slightly cheeky things if you ask politely and with a measure of humour.
Lastly, as someone above said sometimes it's just easier and more peaceful to give a very short answer to a "cheeky" question whilst perhaps also pointing out that next time the person might do a bit more work to get the answer.
Peace and Love

I can manage to Flash my arse - if that's any help?? Last time I did it though someone gave me a boot up it which made me **** a brick. So I guess you might say I got stuck in bootloader mode and ended up with a brick!!!???

You all are right probably... but why are there 3 threads???
And why are there 4 threads about WM6???
Both my favorite subjects, so I always have to read 7 threads...
Yeah I know, I don't have to if I don't want to. But I want!
But still: maybe some more moderating???
Worth a haiku I think.

Each forum has its own grounds for topics. So if someone wanted to know about the Tilt case, they would have to ask in the Tilt Accessories forum, or the General Accessories forum. We all just like to see some sort of orginization around here. Which are the reasons for certain threads, like the two stickys here in Development & Hacking. BTW this thread will probably be closed soon. I suggest not posting anymore new threads like this, you may get a temp ban.

Whats the thread?
Perhaps your post is *not* in the correct forum, but I do agree with you. Not on, say, the Tilt case... But I have noticed that there really has been nothing REALLY new as of since what wm 6.0? I mean SPB shell and iFonz, and and others I haven't tried *ARE* good apps, and need updates posted, but as for something totally phonechanging, (like I was hoping for the ati 3D driver for my hermes) you probably just aren't going to see it. Also I appreciate your sarcasmic humour! Nice at 4:15 AM coming into work. hehe
BTW temp ban? Thats a little harsh isn't it?

You want to unleash something ground breaking? I don't see you developing anything new and improved. So what if most posts are updating other programs.
And to the OP stop capitalizing the first letter of every word, it fkin hurts my eyes.
I've offered plenty of times to help out some of my device's main cooks with rom application development but no one has ever taken me up. I'm now a 30 year old father of a 2 year old. I've already developed a complete freeware software application for car computers called MediaEngine (.org) and I just don't have it in me anymore to create something from the ground up. If anyone wants a freelance VB programmer to look at their code and come up with improvements though, hey I'm all for it. Also, I did state that current programs need posts with their updates.
BTW I'm not meaning to complain, I just long for the experience I had when I first installed a ROM and upgraded my phone from boring to wow.

You missed the first thread that he started and was closed within 15 minutes, then about 5 minutes after closing, this thread popped up. So, no it's not harsh, and I really wouldn't be surprised.
This issue relates to my HTC Desire which an unlocked handset in the UK. It has come to my attention that certain applications do not appear to be in the Android Market that I would have expected. For example the Gameloft titles (eg Asphalt 5) do not appear.
Are these applications country restricted or perhaps do I have an issue. I read elsewhere that the issue could be related to locale or language in the settings, howeve rI have checked these are set to English.

Ever thought that just MAYBE, some people are starting to get fed up with the same questions being asked time and time again, when the answer could be got with just a couple of seconds of bothering to look?
You could have found the answer in less time than it took you to ask the question in the first place.

This is true, however this matter could have also been settled in less than the 26 hours or 3 posts it took for you to school a noob.
Let's play nice FloatingFatMan; this is not the first thread I've read on here in that last few days where your comments are rude or unhelpful.
@npw - You'll find the answer to your question is that Google have not yet approved the Desire ROM for use with protected apps. Wait a little and the missing apps should appear in good time.
As already mentioned, please remember to Google thoroughly before you post!
Yes, thank you monkeyfishing, that was the answer I found after googling it. I searched this forum but not Google, this has always been my first stop for HTC related questions. Slight mistake on my part, but thank you for polite answer/ request to search rather than the rant of an ill tempered fat man (a floating one at that). I guess its just a waiting game for google to approve the desire for protected apps

Even if I think this kind of posts are not allowed I like to answer to your question.
Take a look at Dutty´s LEGACY Ship ROM. It is smooth, stable and fast with less battery draining. As it follows the stock ROM philosophy it includes only the basic applications without a great variety of ringtones etc or cosmetic customizations. So the amount of used Storage is less compared to other ROMs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=610634
You should also have a look on Artemis ROM.
After installation you will have about 160MB free memory.
...and without taking anything away from any of the 'chefs'; NRGZ28 offers a nice variety of ROMs, from the simple & sparse to the densely customized. Essentially, a number of choices with something for (almost) everyone. All on this site, but very clearly presented here... http://www.energyroms.com/www/
These are the largest memories ever, but they don't have an FM Radio, which you could extract from any ROM by "Total Commander"
6.5.5 http://www.multiupload.com/01QLE9DH1Z Lower Start
6.5 http://www.multiupload.com/9LH03QQYAS Upper Start very good one
LOL
Here you can easily see why these kind of threads are forbitten. Every Answer is different.
What is the real answer to your question? Take a look at the threads of the offered ROMs. Each of it is good. Chose some of them and test them by flashing them. You will find your ROM like each of us who answered might have found his favorite ROM.
Please, help me. Which of the forum rules forbids such posts/threads?
The part about flaming? I don't think so.
There was a clear question: which available ROM provides most storage capabilities?

Hi Uli,
no, it´s not the rule about flaming. But I must admit that I don´t know the exact origin of that rule. But I can report about many threads asking which ROM is the best, the fastets, the one which is most stable and so on.
Every thread of this kind resulted in the same: every supporter announced his favorite ROM as the best. The longer the thread was open the more these poster flamed each other. That was the reason why all of these threads I know were closed by a mod with the comment to make his own picture of the provided ROMs.
As you can see in this short thread there are several different answers because everyone has different priorities. So the information inside these threads is close to zero.
Did you see the right answer of the authors question in this ROM? Maybe not ;-)
Have a nice evening
Cheers

@Matthes,
With all due respect, and not to take issue (but just a few comments)... I understand the spirit and sensibility of your POV, and I'm in general agreement with it (not that, That means anything), but I must point out a few subtleties. Like most/all here, my personal choice of custom ROM was arrived at through trial and testing. That's the best way as (obviously) there are no absolute 'bests'... one size does not fit all.
My answer above, wasn't necessarily my favorite. I'm not a cheering section. The OP asked for a specific similarity to a certain ROM to be used as a replacement. I opined a certain chef had multiple offerings from which to chose, and among them, felt the OP might find his answer. --Without taking anything away from any other Chef. Everything I've tried from multiple sources, has been pretty much excellent. Different but all well-done nonetheless. There's a difference between a cut finger and a cut throat and no cut at all. There were no favorites implied in my answer.
Rob
@RobE & @Matthes42
I didnt know it was against the rules to post this sort of question otherwise I wouldnt have posted it. I am genuinely looking for a ROM upgrade its been months and im itching to flash my HD2
As you stated it down to personal preferences and I'm looking for something specific so I just needed someone to point me in the right direction.
As I said all suggestion are welcomed. so far flashed two and it 2-0. so im going to try other suggestion,
If I've upset anyone with this thread, my apologies, it was not my intention
There are no best rom, what's be best for your cannot be best for me and viceversa.
That is why we don't allow these kind of threads, becasue they become redundant.
On that note, thread closed.
One thing I have enjoyed here in this forum is it is much friendlier and less flaming than the evolution 3d forum I came from, and still is so far.
I have read a few things that disappointed me greatly I would like to mention .
Guys, think before you bash a persons work. Whether it's a theme, ROM, or some mod these people put in hard work and time for free and our benefit! It may not be perfect or what you personally like but that's not the point. If I was doing things for friends I've never met or a forum I would stop after some of the crap I've read.
Guys, please keep this place supportive and friendly. We were all noobs once and didn't know much except how to turn on the phone.
Anyway, respect each other and the work posted here. Bashing doesn't promote anything and doesn't encourage anyone to keep going .
And it's FREE!
Ok, group hug . J/k

It has become worse over the years. Sadly.
Still it's a small group who messes it up for the rest.
I have however, also seen someone who thinks he's a "developer", say snobby stuff to noobs. Like he was better then them.
This is much worse imho.

I completely second what OP said,most of my PDAs would have been unusable bricks without the support of this great Forum and its intelligent and zealous Devs, starting long back with my Imate PDA2K in 2006, turning my HD2 from unstable device with its officially unsupported OS into one great masterpiece .
I salute all the devs in this forum knowing well that our GNote coupled with their fantastic effort and talent will become an even better device once the official ICS starts rolling out.

What's that got to do with anything? If anything, that makes matters that much worse - if he's so tech-savvy, he should know about using the search function before opening ANY new threads.
well, after use "Search" I've found many threads w/o answer. So I just would like to know why, just ont one, simple answer.
I kind of agree with him, there is the need of a sticky thread that clearly states what and why cannot work, and what instead is needed, and why.

You should know better than that. Opening a new thread when one already exists on the same subject is a big no-no on XDA. Opening a new thread KNOWING one already exists just makes it worse.
Anyway, I'm sure there's a good reason a Galaxy R release doesn't help. The devs have no obligation to explain in great technical detail why this is not possible, if they say this won't work you should be able to trust their expertise and experience on that. If you need solid proof and reason, maybe you could try extracting the drivers and making them work on the Atrix yourself.
