I appreciate you're new here and we welcome newcomers, but please do not give new threads titles like "Please read". Always give a brief/concise indication of the problem - this helps when people are doing searches later. Also all threads have equal priority and if we think we can help by looking at the thread title then we will open it, so pleading does not encourage us to look. In fact it can turn some folks off.
This forum has two search facilities one on the brown bar near the top of the page and a different type in the Google Search sticky post.
Here endeth the lesson
Go forth read, learn and enjoy.
Mike
Thanks for the lecture Mike ....well understood.
Can I please get an answer now?... I have a feeling it can be done I just want to know for sure.
Thanks ya'll
dude, if you click the word "here" in my post it will take you to the answer. also, if you click on the secret in my signature it will take you to the same answer. we all try to be self-sufficient around here, so Im not trying to be a jerk. if we spoon feed you the easy stuff you will never develop into the 'contributing' member that we all hope to be around here.
Apparently Mike's lecture wasn't 'well understood' because if it was then a very simple search would have provided you with all the answers you need.
So in answer to your question - yes you can.
Now I know your next question is going to be 'How' - the answer to that one is mrvanx's guide.
We've all been guilty of being new and also of flaming noobs, but when you've read a few threads you'll realise everyone's frustration at seeing this type of question again and again and again..... Also, I know the XDA search function isn't always good, but just by reading Mike's sticky, third from the top on this page, you'd have found a better way of searching.
Go on, don't be shy, and try it now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893 it's amazing what you can find...

There is nothing wrong with being helpful. But it is how you help. When you help in this kind of a situation it only confirms in a persons mind that all they need to do is ask!! And on this forum that wrong. Here the forum rules cleary state to search first. They are outlined in great detail. So giving answers on redunt threads started like these only goes to encourage that kind of behaviour. Did you think that if goofeyass had the cab then he must have gotten it somewhere as well?? Then this guy can search and locate it.

@Curious George: Every single post I have seen of yours in the past few days seems to be *****ing about new threads etc. Why? It's been going on for ages and it's not going to stop, especially with such a crude attitude to it, so why bother annoying people? It might increase your post count but it's incredibly annoying for everyone!
Let the mods do their job.
GEORGE! A great way to control a forum is to let the moderators do they job. If disagreed the topic would be locked, or better: deleted. The forum rules clearly state: Only post here if you are a developer/resource etc... If you go hard into the rules then you just broke them as well. Until a moderator speaks we should be nice. I'm sure you are nice as well but you just dont sound like that. A good community way of saying what you just did is:
"Here is your file. Next time, please take the time to search thus NOT spamming the forum with useless threads."
And see: now even I broke the forum rule ;P
Part from this: The forum search function here sux bigtime and its a bottleneck to this great place. Atleast, I think we both can agree to that.
Moderators: Shall you just lock this nonsense?
some people take the internet too serious
Here is some screens of the plugin in action.
please follow the rules or the thread will be moderated

Look for your answers before posting a new thread!

You must have spent a lot of time setting up this little tutorial. Nice work. The mouse following the dotted lines could be a little faster but good work. I hope the message gets through to most people.
Note: to all who use search and still find it difficult to find what you are looking for. Remember to try using a variety / combination of cue words related to what you are looking for as sometimes your first search does not bring you directly to what you are looking for. You may have to search using different words, you may have to examine several different threads that are brought up in the (results) in order to find what you are looking for. Example
if you are having WIFI connectivity problems you can search "WIFI" or "Touch WIFI" or "WIFI Problems" or "WIFI Connectivity" or "WIFI on Diamond" etc... Don't give up searching just because your first seach did not get you your answers. Chances are the answers are around somewhere. I have not yet had to start a single thread asking for help or for answers. Persistance does pay off and a lot of answers are already out there.
Yeah it's over 100 frames, I want to fix it up a bit, but I though I'd post it first to see if it was even worth it.
Oh man, you just saved me time because I was thinking about posting a topic asking for help to find the search button. Thanks a zillion!

hehheh, i agree, he deserves it oh and Nice tut, should be stickied IMHO , or should be added to the Tweakman's post
I agree, he deserves it. He spends his life in front of his computer making this website a better place for Win. Mobiles!
while you're at it..
change the Questions and Answers section's behavior.
people keep posting here because they want fast answers and don't want to wait until Tweakman posts their question there.
let the Questions and Answers section be flooded as much as people want.. as long as this section is clear.
and in my opinion, you should get a ****ing noble prize. I'm sick an tired of telling people to read the rules and use the search button. as if it's a damn project.
see i have 1040 posts? 9000 of them are about this issue exactly.

LOL ! Touche!
We've got a lot of new users appear on here lately, it looks like in search of updated roms for the x1.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS THEN DO NOT FLASH A ROM
without
A) reading
B) reading some more
C) reading even more!
All the roms should come through the SE Update Service, please use that as it is a simpler method and if something goes wrong, then you can go to SE to complain..
Please use the search if you have a problem, if you don't find what you want the first time, then search again, maybe try searching around the subject.
There's a very very good chance that the question has already been answered several times!
If you can't find the answer then flick through the older pages on the thread, if it's something to do with the operation of the X1 then there's a good chance it's in the oldest pages of the forum.
Experienced members get upset by people starting new threads with the same moans or questions because it really clogs up the great search system with all manner of wasted threads. If there's an existing thread than use that please! If the questions already been asked don't ask it again!
This forum is not a SE support forum, no-one (that will admit to it anyway) is from SE so if you have issues with them why not raise it with them?
If you want to know how you X1 does various stuff try one of the operators online guides.
If you flash a custom rom or another rom obtained from here, despite being warned not too. DO NOT go running off to MS or SE complaining that it's all gone wrong, they
A) won't likely listen
B)won't like us very much
Ta.
You should keep this on the very first ROMS subforum page fards
I know It's already written everywhere... old problem... but many people falls in parachute here, landing directly inside the ROMs post from external links. XDA DEVS is da bomb

Hmmm...a rather sweeping generalisation methinks...
I'm a noob here, I'll admit that. However, I'm a board Admin elsewhere in cyberspace so I know exactly where you're coming from. I've done my time reading, understanding, occasionally asking relevant questions in the relevant places, and trying to help out where I might have some answers.
Your advice is spot on, and anyone who is inexperienced should tread slowly and carefully. There is all the time in the world to learn how to get it right, but it takes very little time to totally stuff things up.
"Use the search, Luke"
Instead of telling new guys to read, you could've put the same effort into and making a nice thread for them instead.
Maybe a list on where to start reading and so on!
This thread has no meaning whatsoever. New guys will probably just read first lines skip it and ask a question.
And remember we have all been there, not knowing how to flash etc.
Also searching can be a very time consuming thing to do, and asking and getting an answer is often way faster.
this thread doesnt make sense without any links to where to read...
This forum is where you read. it is a development forum, not a help forum!
you read the first thread that the moderators try to get EVERY NEW USER to read, this was a gentle reminder to get people to do just that.
People are not here to act as customer service for people who are too lazy to use the search facility on this site.

Yea that is true. I was searching PIE6 and i ran across about 13-14 threads of the same question. i was on like page 3 or 4 of the search before i got the right hit.
maybe xda-newbies.com should be registered as a none development and referance site? lol

which reminds me the pie8 files that sun_dream posted in his BA 6.5 thread work, when copied over on itjes 6.5 (it's still pie6 core I think. but a bit snappier).
How about a period of not being able to post when registering ?, a day or three would give new members with their questions a little time to cool down and search/read for the answers which will usually be found here somewhere.
Just an idea.

I actually think that's not a bad idea, was just suggesting it to a couple of other members. Only drawback I think is that it couldn't be restricted to one sub forum such as the x1 from my experiences with vbulletin..
So it would restrict some of the truly amazing first posts that have come from some of the great genii?? on this site..
Alternatively we could have another Sub-forum, in the X1, with for newbies to ask the same questions of each other (like a creche) and anyone found straying outside of that forum until they've learnt to search and read would get electrocuted.. or something..
you mean, something like asking a question about an advanced feature, if you have it right then you're allowed to the real forums?
Well to be honest, the only thing a noob should read are the stickies. I learned to flash, edit, modify, type, behave, proof read, error correction, ask nicely, say please thank you cookie i love you, by reading those stickies.
Actually I think it's a good idea to have a sub-forum for the newbies, and then bomb them with the 'READ THE F-WORD STICKIES OR DIE' *going too far here...
Search ?? No thanks

But to search efficient you have to know what to search for, the keywords are important in a search engine. And when you're a newbie those terms might not be known to you. Or you might not understand a lot of them.
And beeing sarcastic about my comment is not helping anyone that is just pure immature.

Lets face it. Most people that come here with questions like "how can I flash my ROM?" just didn't bother to look. And trust me, there's plenty.
The bothersome thing is not that people ask questions, that's normal in a developer environment. What does bother me, and most - if not all - others is that they ask questions they can answer themselves by putting just a wee bit of time into it. Instead, they had rather have other people spend time doing everything for them. I can see where this attitude comes from - it's easier, but you get my point.

If people manage to use a search engine to find this site then they can manage to use a search engine to find the answers to their questions.
Not knowing or being too lazy to be independent enough to search is the real immaturity.

i agree totally, we were all new at some time but 3 threads on the same thing and not even in the right thread, google and search engine here are your friend
oh i get it .you have a point hu! obvious!, but obviously i didn't get the help i needed ,and maybe just maybe that's why i re posted it the thread .thank you.and your very welcome!
I really don't appreciate you trying to make me look or seem dumb! or what ever it is that you are trying to do .Yeah! you might be good in this forum, but I can put you aside and tell you that you are not good at everything!. trust!!
A simple answer like, "we cant help you" would had been a perfect end of conversation Answer. Now you think about that SIR!
keep a simile on here
I wasn't trying to "burn" you. If you didn't get your answer, why didn't you respond to your own thread. If you had a question about something and asked someone, if their respond wasn't "complete", would you rephrase the question and attempt to get more information or would you not say another word, walk away and ask another person?
I wasn't trying to rub my being good at anything in your face. I understand you are upset because you think I was, and that is why you "attacked back." In this forum, if you didn't get the answer the first time on that one thread, you're not going to get the answer because either no one knows or you didn't ask the question in an answerable way, or it has already been answered a billion and one time and we are tired of answering. Posting the same question three times only gets people even more annoyed. The end result will be that people will be even less likely to reply to you. Just like in real life, if I went up to you and asked you a question, then I completely disregarded your answer as irrevelant, and moved on to the person next to you, the person next to you will probably not think very highly of me.
In short, as I already said, recycle your thread or search. That's the best way to get an answer. Heck, it's really the ONLY way.

seriously tho, it wasn't a knock on you. you just did the typical "newb" thing and posted a question without really looking. 99.999% of us (me included) have done that. we want instant answers with minimal effort. sometimes you'll get it, sometimes you won't. sometimes a jackass like myself will shout out "burn" and laugh for no good reason. it's all in fun.

What do you mean by increase speed? If you mean CPU, have you tried using Battery Status (I think that's what its called) You can over clock your CPU with it, but it comes with a use at your on risk warning.
