............

Wow I didn't know that! Thanks.
sent from my Vibrant.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip.

WOW! i had no idea about this. Suggest this in the stickied post with Tips & Tricks. this one is DEFINITELY worth mentioning.

Guys, this IS in the sticky...
Make sure you're not missing other goodies...

Still nice to have it blatantly shown as a topic thread.
I've read the stickied post but after a while I stopped reading it because everything I read in there is what I already knew.

^ understood, that's why I do a change log and show the last update date in the title. I wasn't saying anything about the thread, just responding to the posts that this should be in the sticky...

Yeah, I'm the one that mentioned to post it in the Stickied thread.
I'm gonna assume that the changelog where you listed this was included at another date aside from 08/06/2010.
Possibly you could use the #3 and #5 post that you posted as a changelog as extra space and list it somewhere within the OP post to link to #3 and #5 so you have a lot more room to work with rather than being limited to one post.

Well what do you know! I was just thinking the other day that this phone doesn't have any digital zoom, not that I care about a digital zoom. Still interesting to know.

^^ nice idea man. I think I will incorporate that, thanks.

And just for those who are "not in the know", this is a digital zoom only -- akin to cropping a photo only. You're not actually getting any closer.
A neat trick, nonetheless!

i discovered it myself
another trick...in the contacts menu, dragging the contact to one side would take you to the sms screen. Dragging it to the other side would make the phone call

^ holy crap, easter eggs everywhere. Posting this in the sticky, nice man.

^^
welcome
it also works in the messaging menu pretty nifty

Thanks...?
Screens, description? Anything??

privacy issue, sorry
Forget SPAM!! DO NOT download this, 8 posts, no pics, no description, especially for an app that's been out for a long time. Just my opinion from the looks.
What's your deal? He posted the build!
****. It's just the latest HTC album from the Diamond series of ROM's. How about doing a search on the build before blasting him!!!!!!! I have this EXACT file installed for weeks now! It's listed in the Diamond App thread, this is even the same link from that thread!

Then what is the purpose of this post? To offer us something that, according to you, has been readily available in a well known thread?
You've got to realize that people are going to be suspicious of this...not so much as a description of what he is posting. And so what if he does get blasted? It's his own fault for not creating a proper post that people can follow. Who are you? Batman? Defender of the innocent?
Gimme a break. The flame-defense squad around here has gotten really old.
So is this the same Diamond HTC Album that has the rotate screen problem?

Question: How can I tell what HTC Album I have on my ELFin? I have the Blue Elves V5 Rom....

Yeah, that's right! I think you should relax on the temper there. You would honestly tell me you would download files with no description from a junior member who has abonded the thread? Sorry if I feel the need to give my opinion on what looks like a potential threat.
is this the exact same build some of us have been using for a while? i like the diamond htc album but i dont like how there is no rotate screen option, also it shows the videos but you cant click them, if you do nothing happens.
I don't know about the Diamond version, but if you create the custom shortcut to open in landscape, it should work, it did for me on a different build, don't remember which.

Opinions are like butt holes. Everyone has one but that doesn't mean you need to show it to everyone.
Don't like the thread or the post then don't read it. Feel it is a threat then don't download it. Pretty simply really.
diamond version ??
contain zoomin out, slide actions

Everybody knows this already. Don't read. It wont help anyone.

There were always a few occasions when I was playing with my vibrant and noticed my brightness would increase randomly. I just figured out after some investigation, that if you slide your finger ALONG the status bar, so left to right either way, it will adjust the screen brightness. Just a tip in case anyone wasn't aware. It's really not an obvious feature to discover so I figured it might help people.
Ha, what a strange feature.
Nice find!

hmm, cant figure out why developers leave xda
Wasn't asking for more tips. Wasn't asking if there was a two line blurb saying this already. Posted to help out people that didn't pick up on this. I've seen a lot of complaints of brightness not being in the notification bar toggle. Compared to all the other things that are repeated over and over I don't see it necessary to tell me what's for "my own good". If you already knew, hit back and move on. If my thread was entitled "I want to learn new tricks and tips" it'd be appropriate. Besides from this one "tip" everything else in the sticky is stuff I was already aware of.

IF you/other people would read the stickies, or use the search function you/other people would have found what you were looking for. not to mention he responded with a link to the sticky that has loads of other very useful information that you may be trying to figure out, and that when you do figure out you will post a new thread for something that has already been covered in another thread that isn't that hard to find because it is stickied....

So it wastes time because my title is bad, yet you took more time from your life to post that? 2 people is still 2 people. I get more pleasure from people like you that think you're defending....I'm sorry what exactly are you defending right now? Anyone who knows how to use the forum can figure this out, yes. However anyone who has a life and doesn't read every word of every thread can find this easier. It's a feature that will be used daily. This thread will eventually go to the bottom just like all the other old thread. RELAX.

Look I found this feature on my own, accidentally, and shared it. I wasn't going to search the entire forum to see if it had been mentioned before I shared. Idiot.
Don't worry. I edited the title since everyone knows everything. Go rag on the consistent threads of people asking where to find froyo roms, lag problems, and people starting threads wondering whats wrong with their gps.

You're right. And the word "douchbagery" is definitely one of those common terms found in the word choice of an adult.
Why can't we play nice?
your new title brings even more attention to this thread, I clicked because I was curious wtf was going on in here...
so now are you not only wasting everyones times with a feature that everyone knows, but now you're also wasting my time by giving your thread a confusing title.
I hope you burn in hell.

Does unrooting reinstall the factory 2.2 settings?
What's up? I'm new to the sight, and all the wonderful things you can do with a rooted vibrant.
Can anyone tell me if you have a factory 2.2 vibrant and you root it, can you unroot it and send back to t-mobile for warranty purposes. Thanks!
Can this thread be made sticky? Wonderful work, Thanks OP!
Very saddened that I cannot read these guides any more

Post Your Setup!

Well after my first week or so now of messing around with my EvO I figured it was maybe time to start posting.
I was thinking that maybe a whole thread of other people's setups they are using right now. (I know people change a lot, so maybe it would be cool for you to go back and add your changed setups to your original post.) I think by doing this it might help out other people and then also give others idea's.
I know some people put this information in their signature but I think that maybe it would be cool if this information was also included in one area that would be easy for others to locate. But this also means that for this thread to even work properly it's going to take a group effort.
Open for input, just shoot me a PM. (If no one post in the next four hours I will post mine first....
Already a thread like this in the theme section.

Sweet thanks a lot for the link. I just figured a thread like this would have been located here in this forum. Oh well......
Again thanks for the heads up with the link.

Etiquette... Please Read

Some of us (noob and non-noob) do a few things that make XDA not as enjoyable for all of us.
1 - Please do NOT make MULTIPLE threads on the same topic (5 topics on page 1 are by the same person, 4 of which are all related to the same topic). Wouldn't ONE thread with everything be nicer for the OP and ALL of XDA?
2 - Edit your posts - if you forgot to say something or you need to word it better, just edit your initial post, no need to make more clutter.
3 - Be respectful... as much as you can tolerate.
4 - Try and help if you can.
5 - Rather than go back and forth in a thread (arguing/talking), PM the person. Hint, WE do NOT care.
6 - Developer's ROM threads are for THAT purpose, developing. It is NOT to be compared to another rom, and nobody cares if you are about to flash it.
7 - Post in the correct section! This is not hard... questions go in the Q&A. Apps/Themes go there... ONLY developers should post new threads in the development section. General is a catch all for everything else, related to the Vibrant.
8 - Spell Etiquette correctly (I'm flashing Gingerbread on my Nexus, doing this while backing up.... my excuse )
Also, if you feel a thread like this IS the issue.... you may need to look in the mirror.
may want to edit title, it's spelled etiquette...
just friendly heads up before the flaming starts lol
psst...! i think you mean "etiquette".
you might wanna add "please take your disagreements outside of the thread or just agree to disagree".
i dunno about you, but i'm getting sick of seeing arguments when reading threads in the dev section. ~_~
Is this topic meant for that person that rides x's?
WOW, thanks guys... my mind is somewhere else. Fixed the OP. I will continue to add if more come up, but these seemed needed now.

I'm sorry if i did, but which are the exact same threads? I'm not sure i made the exact same threads 3 times.
Can you possibly tell me their title or link?
Here is another one. Comments in a rom are supposed to be for that rom only. Ie. Bugs fixes, performance, etc. You should NOT compare roms.. Ex. " boomers" rom is much faster than this... " comments like this are pointless and do nothing for the development of the rom the thread is about.

I posted the first thread "vibrant comes with 2.2!" because i'd made a thread a day or two ago asking if Vibrants now come with 2.2
Everyone on the thread said NO.
I wanted to let people know that it does, because i just got a refurb with 2.2.
the second was a question kind-of.
I was wondering why people were hating on stock ROMS because i had great experiences with it. (not 2.1) Everyone on this forum says "STAY AWAY FROM STOCK, ITS LAGGY!!!!" I wanted to oppose that because i had no problems what-so-ever with that.
I don't see how their related just because they both have something to do with 2.2 though.
I really dont see what ya'lls problem w/xrider is, his posts may have been similar but they are still different.
This is an open forum and with so many new people coming and going it will always be like this,theres no way to control it,and in trying to do so will only create undue stress
The only way it can be some what "controled" is to make it a closed forum :-(
And by editing does it bring in new viewers not likely.
Imho i dislike cyber arguing but some times it apperently takes a lil cyber flogging to set some straight or get rid of the bashers
This is in no way a negitive post towards the OP nor anyone else

+1 Agree totally. Singling out some person just creates a feud and that is rarely productive. The real issue is for people to try and remember that when writing in the thread, sarcasm, double entendres, and other other verbal expressions rarely make sense in written form. Plus, the macho adolescent comments do not go over well either.
My best advice and rule that always works is this :
Try to make your comments so if your parents or some one you respect was reading they would understand what you are saying and the intent.
Follow that rule and you will never have problems (of course unless you are a sociopath-)
