Can someone please tell me what other good forums there are for the Universal and JasJar. Traffic is very low at present (as can be expected), so I'd like to ensure I'm trolling them all.
WM5 forums may also be useful (info on how to skin keyboard, backup solutions, preferred apps, tips n tricks, reg hacks, etc)
Only buzzdev.net as far as I've seen, but I haven't really had a proper look. And that's a very quiet forum anyway. (But a very friendly one )
Tekguru has some helpful threads.
I have found tekguru.co.uk to also be invaluable in many aspects concerning the Universals and HTC devices in general.

There are a good number of Jasjar users in the PocketPC forum at www.howardforums.com. Because of the K-Jam's recent release there is a lot of K-Jam discussion going on there right now, but there's some Jasjar information as well.

Hello all..
I was wondering if anyone is developing Parental Controls for WM devices? I know there are non-smartphones from Cricket that offer these software options.. But I think it woudl be nicer for my 13 y/o to have a cool phone that blocks him from making calls at certian times.. OR better yet.. a program that would let the parent control with a parental password from the child calling anyone other than in his contact list... Only people on the contact list can make the phone ring... and the contact list itself password protected too of course.... That would make me happy right there... I am sure if you limited the amount of min they could talk and such would be great too... I am just more concerened about limitng the number of contacts...
If anyone is working on this, or knows of a solution let me know.. Thanks!

Public HTC Leo File Sharing Folder
In due time we will see radio stickies, oem package repositories and shipped ROM threads popping up. Now wouldn't it be nice if there was one place we could all upload it to. I have created a 4share account to do this exact thing. When the dedicated thread pop-up or for the well connected amongst us who wish to share:
HTC Leo File sharing folder You can download and add your ROMs or packages to the kitchen. If you need new subfolders just ask and they shall be added. Warez are not allowed and shall be deleted. This is a little experiment and I hope this will make sharing easier and more satisfying (nobody is forced to use this folder).

@all: I intended for this thread to be a general overview for users to easily move around the ROM forum (possibly reduce the amount of questions and time to find the thread you were looking for). I have not been around for a while and find the HD2 forum somewhat cluttered.
I'm looking for some input to help make this forum a little easier on the eyes. I need your help in this, but I also need you to be critical about it. I need a list of threads that should not be forgotten and should be easy to find for novice users. The kind of threads I'm looking for are the ones that contain information that won't be outdated any time soon.
Also I would like to have some feedback about the way it's setup now and should be setup. I will be closing this thread again once it's updated.
Sincerely,
12aon
Guys? Is everybody to much habituated to this thread...
Great idea in theory, and yes I agree the forum is messy. I guess the links to note are the obvious ones, but then they are already stickies in any case - these being the mskip Flashing Tutorial, *'s video tutorial, Task29 and HSPL/SSPL. Stock ROM and Radio links are also good. There is some key information needed also like "do not use a x.xx.51.xx radio for the TMOUS 1024 device or you will brick your phone". Wiki's are also great initially, but they seem to die down and don't get maintained well in my experience. Most noob's also seem to miss them.
It seems however that many users here prefer to simply start a new thread rather than search, read and then post IN THE MOST RELEVANT THREAD. No they choose to start a new one even though 5 separate threads asking the same question already exist. This mess exacerbates the whole situation as due to the clutter it's easier to post a new thread.
I must admit though, coming from the HD forum, the Leo users seem to be a lot lazier.
Hi Guys, Could anyone by kind enough to tell me what chef cooks Leo roms including E-reader tab from latest TMOUS together with TV tab ? If such thing does not exist, at least one chef that cooks with e-reader tab... NRG sstopped doing so... sadly...
Cheers. Thanks in advance..

I do not exacty know what kind of help you are looking for.
But the wiki really needs updating.
For clarity of the forums, I would suggest a sticky on top with references to "Important threads", but also editing this info into the wiki.
Perhaps I could be of assistence?
PM me with more details if you need my help.
Just got a HTC HD2 a week ago, been playing with ROMs since I got it and having a blast doing it. I was noticing that things are extremely unorgainized when trying to find the ROMs, where to download them (also having to download them off the free mirrors), what exactly changed, etc...
Was thinking of building a website, where all the cookers can upload their ROMs, provide a change log for each individual ROM, be able to display the different versions of their ROM. Provide details about their ROM (look, functionality, etc...). Then in each cookers section, people can post comments / questions for that individual ROM. I tried providing more details below of how the structure would work.
For the break down of content management I was thinking:
PHONE MODEL > COOKER / ROM > LANGUAGE > ROM VERSION > ROM DOWNLOAD
Phone Model - For now I would just be doing the HTC HD2, but if this caught on, would be up for doing more phones.
Cooker / Rom - This would be area for the cooker to show off his / her ROM, with pictures, description, anything else they want to say. This would also be the area where people can post questions / comments, that would be easily responded to by the cooker or another user.
Language - Notice that lots of cookers like to create their ROMs in different languages, this way, it is very easy to find the ROM in your language.
Rom Version - Display all the versions of that ROM in that Language
Rom Download - Change log for that specific Rom Version would be displayed and allow you to download the ROM (I would be hosting the website, so everyone would just be directly downloading off the website, no mirrors, etc...).
Like I said, it is just a idea. Let me know what you think!
i don't mean to be instantly negative, but it gets talked about every few months, and a few people even make a start(have a look through the regular hd2 section, theres at least one rom index project, possibly two,complete with little-used websites.)
problem is you need to get all the chefs on board, and most of them just don't care for the extra time and work involved.
best of luck, none the less.
I would be doing all the work. the chefs would really be uploading the roms and change log that's about it.
as i said, best of luck, it would indeed be usefull, im just passing on my experience of these type of projects.
(another point to consider is that quite a few of these roms have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times, , at around 200meg each, can your server manage that? at a speed that people will be OK with? day in day out? you can bet that right this second as i type, there are probably a dozen downloads happening, thats a gig and a half, concurrently.... thats a lot of bandwidth)
yeah totally get what you mean. reason why I posted this to see if the cookers would even want to do this before I did all this work.
the bandwidth would be no problem, think I should just post this under windows development?
I totally agree and am willing to help!
Thanks, you have any knowledge in HTML / CSS / PHP / MySQL? Not going to start on the project, unless I can at least get a handful of cookers who are at least willing to just upload the ROMs to the server. I would be even willing to go as far as to get all the initial content up for the ROM, then hopefully the cookers would just upload new ROMs and submit a change log for that ROM version. The backend I would be creating for this website, will be very easy to use, and really would not take them much time.
But the biggest thing is getting them on board, see if any post in this thread.
great idea
I also think that having a website to organize these roms out there is a great idea. It can be very handy for new users who want to try out different alternatives with hd2. I think everyone including the experienced users would like to just go to one place for downloads and check out new updates. if you had the website done, everyone from this forum will check it out since we don't see much over here (we do have some threads about rom, but its just links to other thread, not organized enough). I will be very happy if someone like you can build a website for these roms.
Yeah, was also thinking of allowing users to subscribe to ROMs they like, so when a cooker releases a new version of their ROM, they would get a email, letting them know a new version is out!
Just to try to get the ball rolling on this, going to just ask the cookers just to upload their ROMs to my server and that is all. I will pull all the other information myself, at least for now, see how well it catches on.
There's already pretty good sites for that.. www.xda-roms.com and xdaroms.com !
xdaroms.com does not seem to bad, but they don't even have up to date roms, very cluttered website, etc... was going for most up to date rom / extremely clean / easy to use website.

I think this is a great idea... kudos n all the support to you... i have been driving myself crazy trying to sift through the threads n get a sense of what's what... we should totally factor in the time line of releases to make informed decisionmaking easier..
also, speaking of, anybody knows which thread has the best(stable+complete) version of android for the tmous hd2? not that i havent searched but the results of search are quite overwhelming to an extent they act as a deterrent for me to try some rom that might brick my phone.
Now that I have the support of some of the cookers, going to go ahead start on the project, will keep everyone updated!
Sounds great ... I wish I could help but I really do not know anything about websites/html and such stuff
But just wanted to let you know that this is a good idea and such a website is definitely much needed with so many ROMs out there ...
I like the idea, and hope it works well for you! You are probably already aware, but just thought I'd point out that there are chefs out there who don't post on xda. Ark_N is one that comes to mind over at htcpedia dot com. I'm sure people know of others??
http://htcpedia.com/
its already done my friend
Really looking forward to how this turns out...thank you for taking the time to do this.
If you like to see something change on XdaRoms.com let me know. I am also looking for help in getting the word out. HtcPedia doesn't allow you to really search through roms. A lot of chefs there repost over an old post so if you enjoyed an older rom better than the new one you can no longer find it. With XdaRoms.com I wanted the ability to have all versions of a rom available to search through. I also have the ability for Chefs to add a template to their account which you can generate a complete forum post based on a rom by just clicking a button. From there you can copy and paste the forum post and you don't have to write out the same stuff each time. The issue you will run into is mass adoption as others have pointed out. If you really want to help out and make things easier you should use what I have already created and pitch in to make it better.
Sorry to drag up an old thread
I started XDA-Roms.com a while back, because I wanted to learn PHP and also to give people an alternate to RapidShare etc. While I was fairly sucessful in learning PHP, I really do not like the code at all, and need to start again fresh, probably in ASP
I have seen a few of my ideas end up on other ROM sites, which is cool becauase we are all here for the same reason, XDA ROMs.
Unfortunatly, since I started XDA-Roms.com, my work pattern changed and I have not be able to spare the time to keep the site up to date (code or ROMs). Hopefully, I will re-write the site soon-ish and allow chefs to upload their own ROMs (the user interface is there, just not the backend upload code).
In an ideal world, I guess all the ROM sites would end up with the same ROMs, just presented to the viewers in different ways. Personally, im not looking for graphics on my site, just all the ROMs
With all this being said, if there are some ROMs people want uploading, PM me and I will upload them.
Hi, i'm posting this after submitting the idea in the sfc3031's CM9 thread and asking the MS2 forum moderator.
The goal is to create a new, updated, more accurate and complete FAQ/REF/Links Compiling thread than the current one for the MS2 section (this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049123)
I've starting working on it, and currently i'm mostly trying to list and compile everything that should be put in it.
I'll write down a list there, and will try to keep it "up to date" on status once i start writting the real thread, while keeping this thread for discussion, so the other one stay the most simple/readable possible.
Ok topics i have for now :
- the different types of MS2 (mostly the difference between Froyo/GB kernels, and so on), and what it means, and how you can find out
- listing of all sbf's and how to know which one to use
- the list of available Roms, mostly the 4-6 that are usable to some points, and the state they are in, whith descriptions of what works or not, and if they are still maintained, and to what kernels/updates they are designed for
- list of the various fixes that are available for the MS2/Roms (WiFi fix, GPS lock fix, roaming problems, keyboard problems)
- tutorials to recover/unbrick the MS2 (there is a couple of those around to be linked, on top of the flash sbf from linux one)
- tutorials to install root R0/R1 (Latin America) phones (there is one written in this section, i intend to link it )
- tutorials to install CM9, with explanation of the difference between GB/China kernels, and probably a listing of what phones should be working normally
- links to various useful tools for MS2 (oc patches that are buried in the CM9 threads, MS2Toolbox, MS2 Baseband switcher)
- link to discussion/explanation about what batteries we can use in our phone, specially if they have been tested successfully (there is, it seems, quite some batteries that "works", as in they charge and power the phone, but whose status/charge level can't be read by the phone from what i read)
- list of the main maintainers/people that are behind the current state of well-being of the MS2 (the ones who came with hardware driver supports, roms, and so on)
- list and quick description of most features of the phones/roms, and what they mean (like what is HW acceleration, why it's good to have it, what is Crystal Talk and so on)
- a quick lexicon of the anagrams we use (honestly, until recently, i was wondering why there was a difference between the GB (as in Great Britain=UK) kernel and the others... before understanding it was GB as in Gingerbread=Android 2.3+ ), since i'm probably not the only one who had a hard time jumping in the shark pool of Phone Rom Flashing
- optionnally (but i would need help for that), a list of the projects that are under developpement and could mean better things for our phones if it gets ported to it (like the Tactile Recovery from TeamWin, or the Kexec project which seems to be a bootloader hijacker that could allow changing more things on our phones, including kernels and so on)
- explanation of what 2nd-init and the other inits options in boot recovery are (i'll need help on this one, since i don't know what they mean ).
It's all i have for now, feel free to suggests anything i missed, or anything you think should be there.
- maybe a list of useful aps/tools/windows-linux-whatever tools for flashing, getting infos, debugs, logs and so on ?
If you know/stumble upon threads you feel/think should be in the FAQ, just post them here (with a quick text to tell me what they are about and why they are relevant if possible), i'll try to keep reading there and update it.
Looks good so far mate, let me know if you need any help! :good:

I've got a working version starting to look "something" close to useful in the works, once i iron it out (puting missing links, orthographic correction and so on), i'll be meddling with how it looks on XDA and post it.
Now that i don't have 5 birthdays in 3 days anymore, i can go back to it.
