Some quick questions from a prospective buyer - Shift General

Hi all, I come from the Wizard forums with a few querrys:
1-Can the Shift boot off of an external USB device? Reason I ask is becuase I have an external DVD-Multi Writer, and I would like to take Veesta off of the Shift and put XP PRO on it instead. But if it cant boot from USB, then there is no way to do it.
2-With saying that, are the propriatary HTC drivers availible for the Shift? If I *upgrade* to XP PRO, ima have to have the drivers for the WiFi and the SIM slot I assume.
Any and all help is appreciated!

I take it nobody reads in the wizard forums?
Please, use the search; or just a glance at the thread titles would answer both of your questions.

Swap out microdrive?

Is it possible to crack open the Athena and replace the crap-tacular microdrive with, say, a 16GB compact flash card? I know that flash only has so many write/re-writes, but I'd fancy having a large storage space to keep music that won't change much.
What d'ya think?

Not a great start to your xda-devs life. Rather than starting a new thread try the button marked search (or you could even google xda-devs) and you might have come across this 5 page long discussion: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306239
While you're at it, please also read this: READ THIS BEFORE POSTING (the give-away is in the title).
Excuse me, not a n00b here. I did in fact search first. Why would I go out of my way to type a question that someone may or may not have an answer to if I could find the answer with a search?
When I ran a search, it didn't bring up the thread you linked to, but nevertheless thanks for all your good-natured help.

Is there a ROM of WinMo 6.5 that works on the HTC touch Dual (Nike)?

Hi, i want to try the new version of WinMo!!! but i don't find an specific rom for my Touch Dual . any of you have tried WinMo 6.5 on a HTC touch Dual with decent results?
Thanks!
Are they giving away nikis? I see a lot of newcomers and the kind that doesnt like the search button...
There is one test rom only, strangely on the upgrade section. You will have to find it, think of it as a quest.
You can't just answer the damn question? who do you think you are?
wow... 4 posts, 3 questions and 1 piss contest, congratulations, your a great addition to the forum already.
If you read correcly you'll see that I DID answer his question.
This thread is one month old, btw.

N.B: Please if possible to include the Download Links!!!!!
I'm with twolf on this.
Please read the threads in the Niki upgrade etc section. You are not the first to ask these questions, you will find your anwers if you search
I guarantee you will not only find th eansweres to your questions, but you will learn along the way. This will help you when customizing your Niki.
Hmm..
I hardly make any posts here but I'm rather suprised about the lack of "try before you cry" on this one.
To actually do something Ontopic then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=404 over there you'll indeed find several 6.5 Roms for the Niki, you could also use the 6.5 kitchen that you'll find in that section. For a lightweight version just pick one of the many "Lite" versions of the roms you'll find in there.
However.. before you even try to upgrade anything, please do yourself a favour and read up a bit on SSPL/HardSPL/Radio upgrades and perhaps CID/ unlock if required
And if you Do try to upgrade your rom, make sure it's been given the old HardSPL, a suitable radio and.. After THAT.. a new rom.
Not doing so will have you stranded in, IF you're lucky, the wonderful land of mtty which is a deep dark and interesting pit that you'll learn to love once you've bricked your device for the first time
Your chances of ending up there are woven into the fabric of skillpoints you've collected on the "Read you must first, not Do!"-spell btw..
Good Luck!

[Idea] more hardwarekeys possible?

hi guys,
i just found out that our 4 hardwarekeys on our blackstone are just driver-made. that means our touchpad goes down to the keys.
this can easily be proved by using slide2unlock2: while sliding, go down to the keys and it is still possible to move the slider.
so why don't we tweak the driver for the buttons a bit to have e.g. 5 softkeys? we could move the home and back button a little bit aside.
i often missed the "startmenu"-key on my hd.
of course we don't get that printed on our device, but if you know where these buttons are, it could be very usefull.
so, what do you think? is it possible to realize?
unfortunately i'm not gifted with these programming skills, but i bet somebody around here can definitly do it!
greetings,
guro
no one interessted in this?
think of the buttons an HD2 has, i mean the same alignment! so in one row should be dial, home, windows, back, hang up buttons.
do you know which dll is the driver for the buttons?
thanks in advance!

I remember someone doing this before or trying to get it developed. Not sure how it was left though. Most likely in the Development and hacking forum. I suggest to try searching there and/or post your query within that forum
would you mind moving my thread over to that forum?
i didn't find any thread while searching for that topic...

Problem is I cannot remember where I saw it. I would direct you there if I knew where it was. This is why I said for you to search. I'll have a quick look and see if I can find it. If I do I'll post link or combine threads
EDIT
Think I found original thread, but unfortunately it went no ware with no responses. Sorry mate

[Q] to Wiki

I know I'm supposed to search the forum first and well, I did but I couldn't find anything which was near what I want to ask.
So, I got a HTC Touch HD from my father (he's old one) and because I don't like windows that much and because I'm using linux on my laptop anyway I wanted to put on Android and well... it worked without any problems (Android 2.2 (FroYo)). Now I wanted to look some stuff up... like how to connect my HTC to my Laptop or how to turn it off... very basic stuff and when I wanted to look it up in the wiki it was kinda strange because it was telling me about the camera and stuff and on the description of FroYo it already says that camera doesn't work and well... it doesn't but that's not the point here.
So my actual question is: Is the forum for FroYo or is it for Windows?
Sorry for making such a large question . Thanks in advance
P.S. forgot to post which link I mean: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:HTC_Blackstone.png

Not an expert, but it sounds like other descriptions of the symptoms caused by incompatible SD cards I have read in other threads. You did search before posting, right? If not, try having a look at the SD card compatibility thread.
Either way, post a little more information on your card type and size and you might find someone who can help.
yea i did search before posting ... but i didnt find thread about card compatibility ... so if u someone can link that thread or say the type of the SD card that i could use.

If you go to the WP7 Stickies Thread at the top of the forum (second sticky thread down) there is a bunch of useful links, but one towards the top of the second block is 'Confirmed Working SD Cards'. Should be a good start point and worth investing if you don't have anything handy, by the sound of it.
Link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914780
Worth all of us taking note that the stickies have been aggregated into this single sticky.
yep it's your sd card, try a different one.
