Just got it today?
First tip. GET A PROTECTIVE CASE!
apparently the glass is easy to shatter on these things. get a case with some soft material inside and keep phone SAFE! Practice practice practice knowing where your phone is at all times. DO NOT DRIVE WITH PHONE IN YOUR LAP. Because when you get out one day and you forget? BOOM. shatter. okay?

The Stick threads are the threads that are stuck at the top of the threading listing. It makes them easier to find.
For example, one is titled:
Sticky: [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* - Updated 4th March.

Install Co0kie Home Tabs 1.6.1 and his CHTEditor, HD2Tweaks, BSBTweaks and you'll never give Nokia another thought.
Read through the Tips and Tweaks as posted above for personal fine tuning and that should keep you happy and sane till XDA finally suss out Android for this beauty!
There really are some talented dudes on these forums who make this device everything it should have been!

I'm Getting No Help Here

I posted up earlier and then tried to reply to my own thread to get attention/help
If anyone can help me with an opinin to transform my TILT HTC 9300 from the factory to the best applications themes thats all I'm looking for!
I tried a couple of things and I haven't pinned it yet
any help would be HUGELY APPRECIATED!
something that would end up as nice all around as the iphone is what I'm looking for thru windows. If theres something someone could recommend Much appreciated
umm.
try ifonz, that makes it look like an iphone .
but u should atleast reflash the ROM then install the eye candy, factory rom is really slowww
Ever try searching? You're not going to find ANYONE who will agree on the BEST apps. You're just going to have to try by trial and error. Go search in the forum for your device, look at people's sigs as they often have links to cabs, etc.

Your best bet is to start off by going to the forum for your phone and reading EVERYTHING (especially the stickies). Then after reading EVERYTHING, in detail, you will figure out exactly what you want to do.
Thanks alot "I really appreciate that"

Thank you very much Ampin

iphone rom

Hi, i have a XDA Orbit 2 and was wondering what is the best iphone skin or infact the best skin for it. I have windows mobile 6 installed.
Any help would be great as i am a little new to this
thanks
Hi humbug68 and welcome to the forum.
Try doing a search of the forums looking for 'iphone'.
You probably should also look through the wiki to make sure you know what you're doing or else your nice new Orbit2 could end up an expensive paper weight.
There's so much great information in these forums - you just need to take the time to read through. There's plenty of folk who will flame you for asking 'noob' questions as well, so a bit of research will also keep you safe from that.
Good luck!
here is a couple to get you started, but as cr1960 says you are better to start searching this stuff yourself. once you find the skin you want, if you run into an issue post the question into the thread for that skin release.

Android on htc hd2?

Hi,
I have seen in other threads that there is the possibility to run Android on the htc hd for example. Is this also possible for the Leo? I am asking because I find the idea of having two OS on the hd2 pretty stunning. Not to forget that google navigation will probably not be available for winmob. Thx
Look around, there is a thread already about android on the HD2

The search tool on this forum is your best friend
Like Cryonic90 mentioned, there is a thread on this already, and it is packed with discussions about the what you are asking for.
Tired tired by these noobs...
I am pretty happy that I could make you feel superior.

hello
hello
first off yes theres places covering this but as your new to this then its forgiven , i think we were all new to this at some time or other so lets lighten up and welcome someone who shares an interest instead of making them wish they had gone elswhere.
but yes it has to be said google is your friend and it soes just what it says ' search ' so good luck with that..
oh and yes im really excited at the prospect of having a working haret-android port for my HD2 also. its gona take time though.
ok. good vibes and happy tidings to all for now.. bye bye..

Thank you, good sir.

New Touch HD Owner

Hiya, just brought a HTC Touch HD on ebay and i want to restore back to factory Rom but....
1) I never done anything like this before and my brain is about to blow
2) i don't know where to begin
so any help would be great. i tried looking around but just don't know where to begin
thanks in advance
start at the dummies guide and the Blackstone Wiki.
if you still have issues try to explain exactly what isn't working.
@mods: move to general?

This is a good starting point : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone (not today, it's down).
Also try the stickies in this forum, like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=463783
Btw, the ROM subforum isn't the best one to start.
Have fun with your new HD but be aware that it turns easily into an addiction.

The best thing is to look in the accordant section/thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=531
There should be a Q&A-thread or a sticky thread, that could help you.
If not: ask in the accordant thread.
Good luck!
Of course the above OP is absolutly correct, but since you're here try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653614
Did this with now 5 different HD's (they wanted someone to blame if it went wrong - me), all 5 HAPPY Android owners (pseudo).
ALL THANKS to mskip you can't miss with his tutorial BUT FOLLOW IT AND READ WELL !!!!
