haha, you joined this forum this month, and you think you can undestand it all?
I have been here a little while..I still get surprised with what I can find on this forum.
If I want to learn something new, I spend a great deal of hours trying to find something I can use, and when I find something, I spend alot of time reading up on it, searching even more in the same topic.
All in all. The wiki is not perfect, the forum is not perfect, but in my oppinion, its dam close. I know a bunch of paysites that provides alot less info then you find here.
We are a bunch of ppl who love what we are doing, but demanding more and more and more is not the way to do it.
And the funny thing here is: Imagine if you got all the answers, and are happy with it
Imagine then...In a few days, another guy ask the same question, ofcourse you help him....and then, in a few days, another thread is started with similar questions. and so on...
Then you start thinking; hmmm, maybe we should make a sticky with this info, so that the noobs dont ask so many times, I will make it easy for them.
So there..you got a sticky with the topic, and alot of good answers (now you have become a more experienced user, uyou are getting good with the terms used here, you know what stuff means, like in.ex RUU, ROM, Hard-SPL etc..)
And again, you are happy to help ppl out, you start using the language used on this forum, you use the knowlege you have mastered in some degree.
And your sticky is full of wisdom and knowlege.
But...after 50 guys have asked the same question (in many diffrent ways, nice, begging, cursing, hateful and so on) you start thinking:
Dam, will those huys never learn to read? Hell, I have given them everything I know, the best way I can.
You are starting to become lazy with posting in your sticky, cause you have done so before, so many times...even on pm (private messages) ppl are asking for personal guidence, and they need it now (and your girlfriend is waiting in the bedroom, or dinner is ready, or you need to go to work, or you have damn much stuff you need to fix with the latest w/e, and are quite finished with that old ****, cause you have moved way past that stage long time ago )
And suddenly you find yourself writing something like I am writing now...

OK. we will change ALL...we will make it like in other forums...a "How 2 post" so that EVERY post looks the same...so that noob can follow...
BUT YOU check ALL NEW post if they are posted the right way.
hahahahahahaahaha
NO man. IF you cannnot follow the instructions in the threads...DO NOT FLASH!!!
I spent 1 year ONLY READING before flashing my first rom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO don´t come here with 5 posts and tell us how to do our job
Well i dont wish to be this forum like any other "plx crack this phorumzz", i think its just as it should be.
besides, when i started flashing my htc devices, it took me 10 mins to find xda-dev's, and another 30 min to figure out what buttons to press to get the stuff i wanted to have.
so dont tell us its too difficult - if youre not smart enough its not our concern.
use google for other forums if youre not pleased with the offers in here.

i know, it takes time ...
I purchased a Tilt about 2 weeks ago. I want to install Flo Cube on it. Is it compatable? If so, how do I go about installing it? I have searched the site for days and have found where to get the cab files and such, but no instructions on how to install it. This is my first pocket pc, so I know very little about them. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
Read this and the search will help you if look the right way.
ow... installing it won't hurt your device.
oh god, this is not true ? you post on xda deveolpers that you don´t even know how to install software on you device? And therefor you open a own thread ? ARE YOUR REALLY SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT WEBPAGE FOR YOU ?
i won`t tell you because i can`t believe this . SO Start you PC, open your Browser, got to google and search "installing cab". ANd READ first Thread, and i hope you dont need another five days for that.
And again for beginners PLEASE post your Questions where you found the application !

Don't believe I am writing this but I am just about to defend the OP a little bit.
To his credit he did say he had searched before posting. We all know how imprecise searching can be on here.
I guess he hadn't taken the time out to read the forum rules or get a feel for the environment on here before posting in the develpopment area of all places (oh dear).
To the OP, I had similar worries about wrecking my device when I started on here so I understand your concern. Best thing to do is to search for the Flo Cube thread and post in there if you can't find what you are looking for. Alternatively PM me and I will see what I can do to help.
If you do PM me please say thanks afterwards. I have helped no end of people this way and they simply use me, abuse me and pi$$ off without a word of thanks. Highly irritating.

The quickest way to piss people off here is to make comments about how you're not getting assistance as quickly as you would expect. Obviously none of those people were familiar enough with your issue to give you advice on it.
So would you prefer that the 78 others and I all post saying "sorry, can't help", or that we ring up all the members who haven't passed by your thread or even the site today, and tell them to get with it?

hey !!! chill out bro, i dont know what is making you so upset, or what's up with ur weird attitude , i was just wondering why nobody had replied with anything, and just to let you know sometimes " sorry, cant help " is actually very relieving, and who gave u the right to speak for what pisses people off here ???!!!
if u r having a bad day, there is no need to take it out on others
if you have something positive to add, then your welcome, otherwise it would be just a complete waste of time

I was speaking from the experience I've seen many times in the past with posts exactly like that. I never said I was pissed at you, I was letting you know that type of thing often has that effect here
The way I pointed it out to you is a lot less harsh than you're likely to get when you write something like that, believe me. When you say "come on people!!!", don't be surprised when that comes off sounding demanding and spoiled. If you didn't mean it in that way, you might want to consider wording it differently, that's all I was trying to advise you of.
I'm actually having a grand day, tyvm, and if it does help make you feel better, I don't know the answer to your problem though I actually dedicated 15 minutes or so seeing if I could turn anything up, before I saw your 2nd post there.

It's all good I know that forum posts aren't always the best place to gauge a person's true intent, so no harm no foul, and thanks for your sensible attitute.
I'll get zelendel or one of the other mods to close this thread, and I'll continute to keep my eyes open for anything that looks like it might be related to your issue.

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:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
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.

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.

thank you very much in advance for all help and tips and guidance
Well it doesn't take a genius to work out that its flucked. Send it off or take it into shop for repair.
Its a hardware issue and there is no magic software/trick to make it work again.
On another note, Please can you write proper topic titles. Titles are supposed to be descriptive of topic so people can see at a glance what thread is about via browse page. "Urgent help" or stuff like "OMG hlp plz" etc are not topic titles.
