Hey Guys..
I just got my HTC Advantage X7501, and I flashed teh room to Pawel's one.. I'm really enjoying it so far. I just bought WA2 and WAD and I was really looking forward to putting the Windows Vista Portable Edition VGA 1.1 theme on my athena, because a while ago I saw people who had it, and it looked so epic. Well, I just found out by doing a quick google search that all of these themes were removed. Now I'm really bummed because I really wanted to see my Athena running this sort of thing.
If anyone still has it on their pc, or can point me towards a link that I can find it at, it would be greatly appreciated. You can email me the info at [email protected] or send me a PM via XDA Forums if you feel you need to address me through those methods.
Once again Thank You for all your contributions. I am sure I am not the only person searching for this theme, so the person helping me, would also be helping a lot of people.. THANKS.
Hey whaddup,
I have it, but I'm not sure how to get it to you. I dont want to get into any legal "BS" over it. Is it okay if I email it to you? Or can a file like this be PM?
Let me know.....but I'm more than willing to share!!!
I am pretty sure you can upload it to somewhere like rapidshare or megaupload, or I think you might be able to email it to me.
Thanks so much.
Edit: Actually you can just attach it to a post, at very bottom when you are replying to someone, it says attach. I think that might do teh trick !!
THANKS
will do. first thing tomorrow tho.
peace

Thanks man, I and probably a lot of forum members appreciate it.
my humble apologies to everyone. i had a major examine in class yesterday and it completely slipped my mind. on my way home right now....give me about one and half hour.
I will send it to the author of the thread and upload...if i can figure it out.
my apologies again!
Okay....I tried to email and upload this file. Its too big. 23mb. What else can i do? I dont know how to do the whole rapidshare thing. Willing to learn though!!
Post it on the forums, when you reply to the thread, there is an option to attach a file. You shoudl see it when you click post reply. Should be next to attachments or something like that.
Yeah, that is what I tried to do. But the file is so big, it canceled out and told me to contact the administration. This was after 10mins of waiting to attach.
Any other options?
I also tried to email it to you and it was to heavy as well!! Um stuck
I also tried to email it to you and it was to heavy as well!! Um stuck
Ok !
Thanks for all the hard work. I think I have an idea.
Goto http://rapidshare.com/
On the page, you browse for the file and press OK, and click upload, I think that is pretty straightforward. When you're done, you can copy and paste the link either here on the forums, or you can just email it to me.
Thanks again for everything !
not got that file anymore but this is worth a read.

Hey Man !
Thanks for contributing to the thread.
That link was very helpful and I am sure will help me much when playing around with the theme.
Thanks.
http://rapidshare.com/files/88499060/Xcil_Windows_Vista.zip.html
Here we go. Now I know how to rapidshare.
I will break the link in three days. By then, everyone who requested should have it.
Peace
BTW....this skin was created by the legendary Xcilion. May the artist resurface again with an even more impressive theme!!!!
I hope everyone has download this. Those that request it. Please post by 10am central standard if you need more time, I'm willing to postpone just a little. I'm going to kill the link at that time.
Reason for: I know the artist/skinner who created this was asked to discontinue it by Microsoft. Why? I have know idea!! So I dont want to get into any mess with this.
Other else....I would leave it up here for good.
Thanks for your understanding!!!!

Is there another posting?
I would like to snag it too, but it looks like it is getting more scarce because of Microtrust's involvement.

I was wondering if anyone had the time and patience to teach me how to root/flash/fully customize my G1 in person? I'm EXTREMELY new to all that my G1 is capable of, and do not have the time or patience to learn this all on my own.
Now, what I do have is money and a generous heart. If you are willing to meet with me in your free time and teach me what I would like to learn, you can definitely earn some donations for your expert work. I am 100% serious and definitely not wasting your time.
Feel free to contact me here
Thanks

I am absolutely being honest. Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I totally expected to get flamed in here. But, I had to take a chance.
Now,I tried asking around my circle of friends for help. No luck. I searched Craigslist locally. No luck. I watched Youtube videos to attempt this myself. No luck. I was referred here from Youtube videos and the amount of information was overwhelming and confusing to a non-tech guy such as myself.
I am a hands-on learner and the option of having one of you much more tech-savvy guys, or girls , at my side to guide me through this easily confusing process would be a real benefit.
Thank you to the people that gave an honest response. I will contact you all very soon and the most convenient person will be compensated for their time.

Sorry about that Mike. I tried to read any rules regarding this, and I guessed I missed the rule.
Won't happen again. If I have a similar request, I'll contact a Mod and get their opinion before posting.
Thanks again.
Lol I used to have a CList ad on on rooting G1's in Houston but I moved like a month ago.

Even non-tech there are STEP by STEP guides. Word for word. Action for action. You posting this really shows you just not trying. Sorry, but tech-junkie or not, even if G1 is your first phone you've ever had, if you actually watched all the youtube videos like you said you did and listened to the instructions, you would have been able to do it. It's really easy. VERY easy. If you've ever installed an OS on a computer, you can root a G1.
If you can't root, you don't need to. You will never be able to update your ROM and there's a 85% chance you'll brick your phone somewhere down the road. Also, if you can't do it, you probably don't even know the benefits other than being different.
and do not have the time or patience to learn this all on my own.

You have the time. It takes roughly 30min at most to learn. You're just too lazy and unwilling and want someone else to do it for you. Sorry for being blunt, but honestly, if you never learn what you're doing you're not going to get far. You NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED NEED to know how to do it yourself.
well allow me to retort

Hey, thanks for your assumptions. You're really contributing to this thread.
And I did try, for like 3 days straight. The videos are confusing and differ in instructions. Also, I've never installed an OS on my computer.

Shouldn't being able to make your phone different reason enough? Why do you care why I wanna do it?

I really don't have the time and I am definitely not lazy. I tried my best on my own and I failed. So I thought I'd reach out to a community much better at this than myself to see if they could help. I don't want someone to do it for me. I want someone to teach me how to do it efficiently, so I can mod my phone at will on my own. I didn't think that was too much to ask.
You have a good day sir

Edit: Forgot to put this in here. You've never installed an OS?! Then no, you REALLY don't need to root if you're that bad technically.
You're welcome for my assumptions, if you listen you might save a phone.
Ok, that's exactly my point. If you tried for 3 days straight, which I doubt, and didn't succeed, you don't need to do it. Ever.
They are NOT all different and do NOT all differ in instructions. How do I know this? There's only two ways. One click - or downgrade and one click.
You copy dream.nbh, rflashrec.apk, and recovery.img to your sdcard, hold back and power on. It picks up dream.nbh, you install it. You boot, find a file manager. Navigate to to flashrec.apk. Install it. Open it, type in /sdcard/recovery.img (if that's where it's saved and named) and look at that.
Four lines of text! Would take me 15 min to do at most.

I care because you're just going to end up bricking your phone. You might not, but the chances are highly probable if you can't even do this.

Even with someone teaching you, you're not going to learn. You have hundreds of youtube videos, there's no difference. If you tried, you could do it. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be mean. I'm trying to help you with this. You don't need to root. You don't even know why you want to! Do you understand how much damage you could do flashing the wrong thing?
@watson4279:
Members have provided the steps/procedures necessary to root/flash your device so that you may customize as desired.
Most members will tell you that they all started at the same place as you ... the beginning. Most members will also tell you that time, effort, and dedication is required. If you are not comfortable with the procedures (as you have stated) and cannot spend the time required to figure it out, I encourage you to hold off rooting/flashing your device until you have the time to dedicate to this.

hey guys, i think i am trying to to install a new rom. what i am trying to do is dual boot wm 6.5 and android, if thats possible, i have tried searching for stuff, but i get not enough info in some places, and too much in others, here are some links to stuff i have found so far:

can anyone help me out with this? its a lot of info for me, and i dont know what to do/ look at
i have read all the newbie and noob posts out there, so dont tell me to go read them
id like someone to tell me exactly what to download and how to run it to effectivly get android running on my device, dual boot if possible, id like to keep wm 6.5 but also have android. id also like to have a back up rom that is completly "stock" unless a hard reset will erase everything and put it back to "stock" incase i need to sell the device, or just go back.
im sure i am missing a few things, so any help would be greatly appreciated, i really need to get this done, because as of right now, i am not to happy with my device with just wm 6.5 and i cant afford to take a loss and sell it back...
i also may be wrong with some of my terminology, so what i understand is with dual booting i can run wm 6.5 just like i have now and use CHT and stuff, or i can run an android UI like the real android devices?
like i said, any help would be greatly appreciated, and i really need to get this accomplished,
thanks,
PBLeonidus
come on, now one knows how to get android running on their device?
please, i need help with this!
also, how or where can i get a registry editor? preferably a .cab file?
dont worry i got it working. thanks for all the help from those that posted! (obviously being sarcastic as no one posted anything)
if any one wants to know, i used max energy Co0kie Energy ROM
with the latest froyo stone android file thing
and a dual booter, ran into a few issues, but got it working

So you're bothered by the fact we didn't give you the answers quick enough, to something that you obviously had the ability to work out on your own? That points to the fact you didn't do enough to help yourself, before posting your question...something the rules here specifically address.

i did several hours of searching before i posted this, and after a lot of dead ends and frustration, i posted the question, but i continued to search after i posted, which led me to my answer.
and i dont think you guys get paid anything, i just would have expected at least one person to post something, helpfull or not, i just found it weird that no one said anything, not even "i am interested in this as well" or something like "good luck" that i see in other posts....
There's nothing weird you just don't have enough patience to wait for replies. Anyways, good to see that you actually utilized the search function. There's a dedicated android on hd2 forum here on xda. You should have posted your question there.

it's all good in here man. We all just get a little bit of newbieitis where the only cure is to lash out at the newbs.
There is a lot to learn on this forum and by the time you learn it all, your device is out of date.
It seems you wanted to figure it all out in a night. Been using WinMo for about 2-3years now and I still don't have a clue most of the time.
pbleonidus, if that comment was just tongue-in-cheek, then it's all good, no harm no foul. Those types of comments are near-impossible to tell the difference between light-hearted and just disrespectful....and believe me, we get FAR more of the latter type in here...and that does tend to strike a bit of a raw nerve with those here who go to a lot of effort to help others.
So, a lesson in this for all of us: you're apparently not the type of snarky jerk that we run across so often, and we're not always able to generate answers as quickly as you might expect. Cool? Cool.
I'll get this thread closed for you.

hey guys, im new to this website thanks to a good friend of mine (he doesnt have an xda account but he has knowledge of it). I'm basically interested in XDA because i wanted more to do with my phone (EVO4G) and i have heard the best source of help would be XDA. i've had the phone since its release date and havent done much with it since i've gotten it. Now im convinced to "root" it and see how fun it is. i'm having trouble doing anything i've seen on youtube and i dont want to do anything stupid to damage it, but i'd love to know everything on rooting and the likes of it...anyone willing to help a brother out? LOL
1. welcome newbie..
2. yes you are in the right place...
3. what the hell took you so long?
4. did you see the sticky : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881747
5. yes, there are a lot of members that will help you...but remember .. it is best to do a quick search first.
6. what is your question?
7.. because its lucky!
You want to start on the unrevoke website,than download the software and hboot drivers,you need them to root your phone,without them it will not work.
Sent from my evil evo!!
Yeah man I'll help you out... Rooted my evo before I even made a phone call... You're going to be amazed at how much better your phone is rooted/customized...
The best advice I can give you is to READ... try the stuff out, if you have issues or questions, like dan330 said, search first cuz more than likely whatever you run into has already been figured out. I've been here a long time so I know what will get you help from the people that know what they are doing.
Check out this thread when you get done with the other... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=701245
come back and tell us what you'd like to get started with and I'll walk you thru it if need be.
First of all make a backup of your rsa keys and wiimax.img that is your 4g keys ..just in case you loose them in the process of flashing stuff.....
Ok so after i have seen many people asking about doing things like porting and how to add power menu options and lockscreens( includes me ), i wanted to ask you guys if you can start sharing things like adding power menu options and adding lockscreens here..how to edit settings.apk to show lockscreens option..how to edit mod version when is written in the apk itself.. things like that..im not asking for something wrong right ????
So basicly this is like a guide just like the one jellette posted sometime before here in general, lets make an all in one guide so people dont be all over the place asking posts twice ...well i think i will benefit about this too since i have entered the dev world and its hard lol...no sleepeng well, not eating well, thats me i dont know about you...so what you guys think.. ?
Is this wrong ??

The problem, Bosina, is that people are always asking for guides that already exist here on the site. A search of xda will show you how to add am / pm toggle, lockscreens, power options, porting apps etc..

Let me also add that sending a dev a request and only giving two options: tell me how or write a guide is not the way to request help. There is a 3rd and 4th option: walk me through it when you get the time (like I have done a lot) or don't help if you don't have the free time right now.
A dev works hard to pump out the best roms. They do not always have the time to walk away from their own project to fix someone elses.
I recently walked a "dev" through a port 100% from start to finish. That earned me a little line of thanks at the bottom of his OP and earned him a big arse line at the top of his OP stating that HE worked real hard to get the port bug free.... This ruins it for others, like yourself, when you ask for help.
Can I write you a guide and send you some files please?

who did this, that whore.
I usually have no trouble teaching someone or sharing any knowledge I (might) have, but when people message me and want things but have no idea how or why something is, it's annoying.
I know that's a little vague, so let me make it clearer: if you are going to PM someone and ask them how to do something you damn well better make sure of the following
1) you have Google searched the issue for at least 9999 hours
---- (tip: try using "site:xda-developers.com" in google)
2) you have tried doing this yourself
3) you at least have some idea of how whatever you're asking about works
4) you aren't asking said person TO do it, but rather HOW
And Bosina (and everyone else), I know guides are useful and all... but anyone can follow a guide. You need to learn HOW this stuff works

hahhahah thats what i thought
We are actually pretty lucky here in the Vibrant section, have you ever looked for a how to or source files in one of the other sections. The amount of sharing that goes on here is far greater than anywhere else on xda.

I was being sarcastic bosina. I would love to learn this stuff but theres no way I would come out and start asking people how to do it. Id learn 100% of everything from just research and reading myself. Take in part, my JIGs, I figured out how to make them through research and development and never asked anyone how to do it, and I only got ideas from KidDynamite on the fancy lanyards I use because I wanted a nice adjustable lanyard system, but had no clue what to use, and he being ex military suggested I use 550 Paracord and a cord lock... Techie type people like high quality full of fancy specs stuff like military grade 550 cord.

Ive noticed that same thing jellete, only the i9000 forum imo seems to match our prowess in that dept. For the US tho the Vibrant forums is #1 for sure.
