totally forgot. Read those too! Those are great threads to read before posting up any questions, if you run into any trouble, etc.

One more thing...read and read and read and read. You have an expensive phone...all the info you need is here...but do yourself a favor and read for a few days so you understand what you are doing. That will limit your questions and headaches…
There are very helpful people in theses forums and they are more likely to help you after you have you have tried to help your self.

Congratulations on breaking free. Just one piece of advice in addition to the links others already posted - to make your life on these boards more pleasant, use the search before posting questions. There's a good chance the info is already available.

Thank you .
Im reading all this through the app so kind of.hard to read it all bearly getting used to the phone too thanks tho and I will start reading .

Welcome
Like all ....welcome the above posts have provided links, remember a couple of things, Go slow at first before changing up the phone... get used to the phone. Look at the apps here and on the android market
Look at the development section in the Vibrant forum and read alot of the posting and links about the custom ROMs. The people who made them are superior to the service provider developers.
Once you are comfortable with your background/reference education then, start modifying the phone. You are going to find this is SUCH a good phone to customize, and way user friendly than others I have used in the past. Good luck, and welcome

Welcome +1!
We're here to help as long as the question hasn't been posted 15x10^n times =) Reading is integral to learning more about your phone. Peek into the dev forum but don't post any questions in there unless directly related to a ROM you've flashed (and even then search the thread for your answer [there's a search thread button at the top of the page]).
There are many good people on the forum even when the get short tempered due to "failure to read" syndrome.
Congratulations on a wise purchase, your phone is only going to get better (we've got some great devs ).

HoneyComb anyone???

I see there is some folks working on getting HoneyComb to run on the HD Desire - anyone planning on trying to get it to fly on our beloved HD2's??

yo i second that its running on the g1 for christ sake im by no means a dev and have no idea what it would take to get it up and running im just curious as to why it hasnt been attempted ???

Team Royal has it booting on the mytouch 4g. but it is a work in progress and i might add they are kicking arse.

Actually chiefz reloaded is rumored to have a full port working for the hd2. From what I was told today they need to get external audio working and it will be up. Hopefully in the next couple days.

now that right there is great much needed news!

I am also waiting 4 it

Wrong section boys (maybe girls)
2.15 radio
2.2miui stock via cwm

It has already been booted on the hd2, but it is so broken it isn't worth it. I mean, it's fast and stuff, but it doesn't even have a phone function. Practically nothing works (camera, data, wifi).

Yeah... for example... you. If you want mods to move it, click the report button instead of making a rude post like that.

Still waiting for the inevitable "Can I flash this in _____?" joke...

They probably should put a post count limit like 50 or 100 to post in here. I think 95% of LEGIT (none of these 'posters' posting threads with OTHER devs work in it stating ohh Im doing it for him...for what reason is that?? then the actual dev cant update .) devs have usually over 100, but maybe make it 50? idk I think 100 but I think 'atleast' 50.
That could help with this type situations, and should be possible with vb im sure. because they just [for whatever reason] get lost/confused and its hard on the mods.

What you think about moving HTC HD Mini to low activity section!!?

I just want to say that this is ridiculous, and that his place is not here What you think guys?
My vote for return!

they are humiliating out great device!!!

I didn't understand exactly, can you explain more?

what are we to do about it?
Maybe a joke or a mistake, In any case, do not like it at all! After all I thought XDA is related to the DEVOLOPMENT rather than making money on advertising...

WHY???
THIS is NOT a Legacy device(is just around a year old) and NOT a Low Activity Device also(Thanks to our developers who are working on porting Android) so what are the arguments for doing this???
THIS SUCKS!!!

Oh Dear!
What's going on in here? What is the news?
I didn't Understand, does this mean to stop the project?

It's just that we're all annoyed that the xda guys moved the htc hd mini forums to the legacy & low activity devices forum, which basically means that xda thinks hd mini is a 'legacy' device and has low activity.

I feel better on htc hd mini(Android) than htc desire....

Well the activity in WinMo section is realy low. I think the things will change when we have a new release of Android Port

It was not a good decision! I want it back it the previous section!

Thank you for explain benjanico!
And I'm sorry for thought about munjeni.
Well XDA admins, If you move HTC mini to Legacy Devices.. Than you should Move HTC Gratia & HTC Aria to Legacy Devices also. it's same Device!
And here Devs Friends are making HTC HD Mini even better than HTC Aria,Gratia!

pfff funny! It is a BIG THANK to all GUYS HERE who POSTED and WORKED here... thank you administrators? and moderators? you done a good job here

you have my vote for that!

I agree that it is a shame that they put the HD Mini to the legacy forum.
But Munjeni, please behave yourself. We don't want this forum closed down. We have a small but dedicated user base (and devs ) here, and when Android is running stable on the Mini this will increase again, just wait.
You should keep in mind that XDA has a much broader focus than our HD Mini only. I can't blame them for making these choices, I don't agree, but yeah... they have to keep the forum cleaned up.
For the forum functionality it doesn't matter we are tagged as "legacy device", we can post and maybe one advantage is that newbies won't find us that quick...and thus less spam !
Keep up the positive spirit, and lets make Android a success together !

I agree with MobileMini
I don't give a F*CK in which section HTC HD Mini is placed by the admins. For god's sake put it in a sections called 'useless phones'.
I never visit the forum home page, only the direct (bookmark) to this forum. I like the dev's and Í'm glad there is a good atmosphere here in this section. Everyone cooperating again, people being (relatively) kind to answer already answered questions, etcetera.
Just keep on the good work!

Each of us has its own network and the people in it.I wrote a lot of links throughout the Internet to bring people here, such as Youtube, Facebook, Flickr ...
and I counted, that bloody beginners come here, and hoped perhaps experienced people as well ...
I feel cheated by xda developers through this decision.
I do not want to even think about the speed of the forum who has one billion ads a billion links to facebook (btw. WHO uses it?)

unfair guys but I believe too good group in which we have to get the most possible after this! sorry for my bad English

its just too soon

hey I think the desire z needs a Facebook group. My old phone (htc explorer) had a fb group and it was really informative about new roms and development being done. I know there is an irc but if someone created a fb group I think it would be really helpful

I'm making this a sticky. Hope that all the Off Topic Discussions will be limited to this thread only.
You can ask for feedback about ROMs on this thread. Just to be clear when I say feedback, I mean discussing about facts & not discussing about how you feel about a particular ROM.
Do not try to belittle any Developer /ROM / MOD / Other projects for any reason, I hope you all understand.
Regards & Cheers !

I'm really happy with my "new" desire z.
i bought this device a week ago. I want to say thanks to the xda wiki.
With the wiki i downgraded the rom, rooted it, got s-off and supersid.
So a big thanks from myself!

Its the best qwerty smartphone for me.
It could have more ram but.. well its 2years old smartphone.

Thank you all for your hard work all this time, but now it's time for me to say good bye to you guys since I'm changing to a new device. I've enjoy using my desire z with custom ROM all this years. Moving to galaxy note 10.1, keep up the good work and support.

desire z sill good enough, check new trick droid rom i like it too much.

The g2 is probably the most dev friendly phone.......doing all these stuff on my s2 is not that easy:what:

Hello.
The moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general. After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread will be closed in 24 hours from this post.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums ridding them from any topic that doesn't pertain to the specific device.
Thank you for your understanding.
