I have, but i cant seem to find what im after.
PS
I am a complete novice with this phone....a virgin.

In all honesty, you really should spend a couple of weeks reading the forums before you flash your phone.
If you don't then I can see your next thread will be cursing at us because we didn't tell you properly and now you've bricked your phone.
The "Wizard Upgrading" Forum contains more information than you will need.
Search for "CID Unlocking" that would be a good start.

Dude, read, read, read. Then read some more.
I've been reading for weeks and just flashed mine for the 1st time 3 days ago. So far all is PERFECT. So much better.
It will be all good. Make sure you back your sh*t up!!!!

Whats flashing?

I believe flashing is the inappropriate exposure of privates - I don't mean the military kind. OF course it is also referred to the process of updating the ROM of an electronic device.

Thanks guys, im gonna do that. Once again thanks.

Which "that" are you referring to?
1. Exposing your privates in a not so private manner.
2. Flash a Rom onto your Device.
3. Read, read and then read a bit more until you understand what you want to do.

^^^ lol. Im gonna do a search and read more, that's what i meant.

I understand you expect everyone new to read everything available on the subject before asking for help on some stuff that's been talked about very much,but please understand how hard it is for newcomers.I bought my UNI 7 days ago and i'm in the same situation,but i read a lot every day,i wanted to learn how to safely flash it to 6.1.The more i read the more i am scared and understand less and less.There are so much names and terms and stuff which makes us dizzy.I posted once for help,i got instructions but was not enough.I decided not to flash,i'm not capable.But i read still everything on that subject.Even though i'm an advanced pc user i have difficulty to get this new stuff straight.So i understand that sometimes someone just got to simply ask. Thanx for understanding

It's all in the wiki. You don't need to read everything. Just what's relevant to you at that particular moment in time. Then when you want to do something else then read up about that.
Oh and WM6 on the uni does NOT support videocall.
Off you go and enjoy.

Newbie - What can be done?

Hey guys new to the forum - i've had a HD for about 3 months now and done nothing with it just used it as i would a nokia 402! lol I chose this over the iphone simply because of the keybad option when typing texts etc.
What cool things can be done to make my HD better?
My HD runs slow all the time -it's not loaded up with junk or any files at all really and yet it runs slow when the hardware specs suggest it shouldnt. I'm on orange (so prolly got a bs orange rom, right?)
Can you get cool games for the HD for when im at work like you can the iphone?
Many Thanks.

I recomend having a look in the ROM dev forum and wait until dutty releases his 3.9xt ROM.
If you flash this rom you will think you have a new phone!
Read up on crackwhores guide to flashing as i'm guessing you will have the stock spl.
So you have to flash an official HTC 1.54 ROM first. Then flash duttys.
I may sound complicated but it really isn't.
Also, if i were you i'd use USPL as appose to HSPL as the latter voids your phone warranty!
Jake

so you think i should wait for a new release from Dutty?

Well he's got 3.8 out atm but said he'll upload 3.9 tonight so ye, i'd wait a day tbh.
Also, there have been some problems with people using backup&restore programs for sms, contacts and things so if you can sync your calendar and contacts using outlook that would be even better.
His new ROM will also be UC compatible which is going to make installing all your main cabs the easiest thing in the world
Jake

Flash some different chef roms and add a little spice to your device!

are there any decent games and things like there are for iphones?

Are you using search because your questions have been answered many times all over this site look above and type what you want in search you will be surprised by what you can learn or you can check the wiki as well they even list what works and what doesnt including games

Read all you can about flashing and then, try new ROM's.
My ROM if Laurentius L26, and I'm really satisfied with it...
Also take a look on apps to install...

Im dim.... what's flashing and how would I load duttys new rom version, can I break my phone in doing so??....sorry

Yeah sorry i made this thread because it's quick and easy to keep an eye on - i'm at work you see and they wouldnt appreciate it if i was on one site for 50-60mins searching around, i perhaps should have stated that in my first thread. Sorry.

Mate, the best thing to do is search and learn...
Flashing is changing the ROM (software) of your mobile. You can change the stock ROM by a lot of cooked ROMs that are posted here at the site.
But until you decide on what to do, read carefully all threads to understand how it works...

i've flashed it to Dutty's XT Turbo 3.9... it's pretty nice. I was just asking about the gsensor games lol

there are plently.. at least for starters u are in the right forum !!!!
search around look around.. ask questions at QnA
you can take a look at my humble blog too... there are some useful freewares made by folks here mentioned there too

help with android/rom?

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

wow, you expect us to solve all your problems in 24 hours, on the weekend no less? How much do you think we are getting paid for this?
Glad you got it figured out. Next time, you could try posting in the regular hd2 section as well, seems to be more traffic there.

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.

We dont. It was sarcasm. Hes saying hes not getting paid to help you, so dont get upset when you dont get an answer... This is the internet. Dont expect things from anyone. Just relax and wait. Sometimes, depending on the question, it can take days, weeks to get an answer. If you need people to hold your hand and wish you luck, try the Disney forum.

haha, very funny, i know it was sarcasm, i just gave a serious answer...
i didnt expect anyone to hold my hand or give me an answer, i just would have thought some one would have something about something, like i said before, a lot of times people say good luck, or id be intersted in this too... i found it weird that no one said anything. i know you guys are mad because you couldnt understand my sarcasm, and that i was able to figure it out for myself. how come when i needed help no one said anything, but now that i have it figured out, you guys rant about me wanting everything handed to me, when thats not the case?
mods, please close thread, i got the problem fixed, and there is no need for this thread anymore...

and i didnt mean anything negative by this, i wasnt mad at anyone, i was just trying to be a little funny by throwing some sarcasm in there...
i am terribly sorry that you guys have no sense of humor and couldnt understand that... i though forums where supposed to be friendly, and people were supposed to be able to say funny and or sarcastic things without somone jumping on their back...
once again, please close thread.

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.

Thread closed as requested.

[Q] Why YukiXDA has left XDA-Dev?

Any information about this?

kidnapped by aliens

Probably went underground before Microsoft kidnapped, maimed, and then sued him for making them look ignorant and lazy!
HD2 "WONT" run WP7 ... Hahaha GG Yuki R.I.P.

Exactly

i think he had other things to deal with and that he was "looking for something else" the V2 with Xboxmod was his leaving gift for us all
I also got the feeling that he got a lot of stick for what he did, from people who shall remain nameless
In my humble opinion I think that him doing what he did for us, kind of made "others" look bad, but lets not turn this in to a name and shame thread.
The chap was a legened, with help from many others on here he helped get give us not only a working Mango but also an updatable HD2.
Unless anyone else knows anything more perhaps we should just leave it with that...

Its really bad to see a dev like him that did such great things to leave xda.I hope he come back.

He did a fantastic job, I'm sure we all hated to see him go.

Only time will tell if we see Yuki back but lets respect him and leave it like it is.
I think that Yuki still looks at xda so now and then , so Yuki Thanks for all you did for us and I hope you will find other things that make you happy.
Greetings Cees.

Don't worry, Yuki's watching you

I hope he does come back. If at all, as an anonymous yet somewhat contributing user
Btw Yuki, if you're reading this, you had better come back, I've dedicated by signature to you

RE: Gratitude
I just wanted to thank Yuki and Xboxmod for giving us the back to the future rom. Thank you forever!

Can someone please provide more info regarding the subject discussed here?
Everything is like he never even existed.
I want to know what happened and where can he be found.
Thanks.
(yuki, if you can see this, thank you for all you did on wp7 for hd2. Simply flawless work)

lol, ive said this many times now
Yuki had finished what he wanted to do and has moved to pastures new, i doubt he will be back either as he asked me to delete his account.
Cheers.

Thanks timmymarsh, bit of a pain though having the account deleted when you are trying to find a quote from him using search. Is there a way to reactivate it but possibly with a permanent ban or something? (I know, sacrilege. Let the flaming start!).
