Ebay Heros and N00bs - Hero CDMA General

We are about to get a giant influx of N00bs with Ebay Heros either:
1) Trying to root 2.1
2) Trying to put it on another carrier
3) Trying to learn everything we have in the last 8 months.
Brace for impact. 3.....2.....1.....
We could take this thread and make it informative to the above stuff and general Q&A for these guys.... I can edit this post and we can keep it bumped to the first page so they see it.
Up to you guys.

Don't worry, they'll all post in the Dev forum

But we CAN root 2.1 now!

Do not open new threads since it makes it hard to find stuff for everyone else. For the future, use this site's search function, the Wiki, Google, Yahoo, or whatever your heart feels at ease with. All in all, "Search Before You Post. And If You DO Need To Post, Do It In The Right Thread!"

hey no problem...I do understand..as many of us do...however that being said...I also can relate to "clogged forum syndrome" and noob "bottle necking"....to some people what you did amounts to walking into a building full of restrooms and immediately you ask which one is the mens room?......flaming is a way of bashing someone online for doing or not doing something that should be obvious to most....there are some who would essentially light you up for the question you posted because there is a seperate thread for wing roms and it appears you did not look for or at it before asking....still if you have never been to the thread and dont know exactly how to search how would you know?.....so take this info with a grain of salt and remember how it feels even after you've been here a while....and perhaps you'll get to explain to the next noob how it goes in the community....all good hope you found what you're seeking......

Don't follow that previous link in this thread. That was for HTC Wings, which is completely different than the T-Mobile Wing. What you want is the HTC Herald forums (Herald is the manufacturer codename for the Wing). Hope that made sense.

You know its true tho

That's new...

Any reason that this is now the G1 Forum (HTC Dream: G1), or was it a mistake?
Update: Poll added, let them know what you think.
Edit: At the request of someone, there is a new option "I really don't give a f*ck, xda can burn in hell for all I care", unfortunately this can't be added in the poll so post it if you want that vote.
Another edit: Also, you can now vote "Pumpkin Pie"
The third edit: "Everyone on xda is dumb because there is lead in the yellow forum paint" another request by someone.

That's what threw me off.
edit: My post count is now palindromic.
Not suitable.
It is DREAM, nothing else.
"G1" is for retards ONLY.
Yeah it needs to be put back to "Dream", "G1" is incorrect and offensive.
G1 is a trademark of T-mobile and not the model name of the phone.
Don't see a "G1" here: http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx
Apart from anything else, I usually get here by:
alt+d d r e down enter, which is now broken (I start in "Dream development")
and the sapphire is now called HTC Sapphire: myTouch 3G, Magic
so is mt3g's 32a or 32b cause my magic is 32b uk version no point me looking there as most roms are 32a based
I actually preferred it with the Generic (Read as NOT T-Mobile's names) names for the phones
It wasn't like that when I went to bed, and I noticed they did the same thing to the kaiser section as well, changing it to Tilt, TyTNII, yada yada yada, Kaiser.
I think it is stupid as well. It is like they just put up a huge neon sign calling all n00bs.

I agree with everyone; this change absolutely sucks. It must be part of their effort to have include non-thc phones? Hell the same phone can have the 4 different carrier names, are they going to have sections for all of them?

I understand. I was going to start a topic asking if I should get my n1 engraved in a few weeks and see if anybody had any good reasoning why I should or shouldn't do it (other than poor resale value and a few other things). But I could just see all the flames now. So I guess I won't.

loosely translated all you're saying is:
If we had a different device we would still have to wait for this...
Again you put up a thread in a forum it has nothing to do with. This is supposed to be about Touch HD Android Development, not an advertisement channel about stuff for different devices that might be available sometime...
and maybe... if your entire post fits in a 'tweet', maybe you should open a twitter account...

Minimum Posts

Been a member here several months now, still can't post in any of the dev forums. Why? Because I would rather read and find my issue & fix it. 40 pages of posts, ok I read them.
Understand the frustration of repeat questions? Yes I do. Lots of 'em, what a pain in the a$$... think my fav was the last page or two of Shift-Deck, someone lookin for the Gapps dl when it was posted right above their own post, classic. Wouldn't u know, 6 posts later, some1 else is lookin for d same damn thing, fun!
Btw, this makes me 1 closer to being able to being able to post in dev section.
Sent thu the "tubes" via my shifty speed brick.
That's funny. It makes me think of when people say that one poster must know more than the others because "look at dude's post count!" Lol, like as if asking a bunch of stupid questions makes you more credible.
Hey... is there any way XDA could implement a Read Count?? That'd be awesome, make it so you have to have actually READ the forum before you can post in Development.
^ Shift Faced
I see your fustration but honestly 10 posts in 3 other sections is not hard at all.
When I joined XDA I already had a really good hold on an Android\Linux enviroment. but i still had to go through the same thing so what I did was post in the general section helping people who didnt have a strong grasp on android
I would also post on the themes and apps section just saying thanks for a couple really good themes or mods and before you know it wala i can post in the development section.
and unless you made cooked something up right off the bat when joining XDA then what is the huge rush to get there? Its not like your not allowed to download what other devs have made or hit that thanks button?
the 10 post rule is meant for people to grasp how the threads work so people dont post questions on the development forum even if the question has to do with "development" and thats just an example.
we all see where your coming from because we were there but try to understand why the rules are there in the first place.
there not there for no reason
I hoped this helped
i was just like you. i join in march but just got my 10 post like 3 or 4 days ago. i just read and all my answer were usually answered for me but now that i'm actually active its really easy to raise your post account and plus the members here in the Shift section are really friendly so you don't have to worry about getting flamed unless you ask about gingerbread perma root
I can only imagine the look on devs faces when away from a release thread for a few days, come back to 10 questions about something he already answered 1 page back or even on the POST ABOVE THEM!

Definitely see where ur coming from & understand the reasoning, just wish there was an express route. Some kind of act for those of us that can figure it out quicker... not that I am "special"...
If anything, the rules should be more strict, damn it is frustrating reading the same thing over & over through 50 pages.
Just wish I could post a question or comment that hasn't been addressed in the last 50 pages.

Never join anything just to join . It's a different type of recovery than what we currently have for the Shift. IMO Better . You should look at what it has to offer if you get a chance.
