...it was listed on the "Devices by OS or Manufacturer" page
Most definately.
I am sure it will in due time gents. Someone needs to reorganize the tree in the admin panel is all. I am just glad we have the forum now.

I have been working on a new version of the Wizard wiki for most of the day. I think the old one is badly organized and hard to navigate. However, I kept most of the same information. The links at the bottom were on the original wiki also, except they link to forum topics; I think that they are important enough to be turned into their own wiki pages. I don't mind doing this but I want to get some feedback from the community first... Reply and tell me if you think I am wasting my time, if you think I am doing a good job, what should be added/removed, what should be changed, etc. etc.

(If it becomes good enough I hope to make it the main Wizard wiki page...as I said, I find the current one hard to navigate.)
Hi,
as you have propably noticed there's couple discussions going on about the forum and some "experts" leaving it etc..
Good structure is very important for wiki and also for forums. So I think you've done a good job there...especially I like the idea to turn certain stuff to their own pages, links to the forum threads are just too messy.
I just finished transferring "How to determine if you have a G3 or G4 Wizard" and "How to SIM unlock and SuperCID unlock a G3 Wizard" into wiki format. Could (a few) people please proofread and triple-check these for me, I don't want anyone to ruin their device because of a misprint or a confusing sentence.
I would suggest you taking the hermes wiki as template for your structure / organization:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Well done Lee1733.
I have often thought the wiki was out of date and in need of some tidying up. The search facility on these boards is becoming unusable due to thread hijacking and repated posts. I pity new users who have to wade through pages of threads to find a simple answer. A good tip is to use google to search xda-developers as it does a better job of sorting the wheat from the chaff. Perhaps a link to google this site as well as the default search should be put in the header of each page.
The wiki is the best place for FAQs but it is down to all of us to keep it upto date.
I just finished adding/editing the "How to Change the Wizard's Splash Screens" and "How to 'Cook' an Extended Rom" pages. I basically copied this straight from http://www.molski.biz (and gave him credit at the bottom) so they should be correct. The only changes I made were some minor Wiki formatting changes.
Ever noticed that active sync is not only taking a 2 meg byte out of your memory ... that on top it trickles down and never releases memory in 2kb steps over time/ I tried to install async-killer from eLias but that doesn't help with this problem.
Any solution or idea beside running a RAM cleaner all the time which may cause other problems (WiFi or Navi gets killed most likely)?

Though I appreciate your input Joel, I search and searched the forum and there seemed not to be a solution THAT's actually why I posted here that perhaps a developer may look into it and finally creates a solution.
Didn't find a way to report to admin for closure or to delete.

i didn't say use "search" there is a new section in xda for questions.
opening a new thread in Development and hacking section is supposed to be limited to people that are contributing (uploading a skin or new software.) This was not necessarily enforced so much before because we didn't have the questions section. Now that we have it though, please utilize it
Best reguards
I found this great bar code scanner for windows mobile thanks to Hypest over at xda Here is the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
My questioni is after i scan for the first time you are able to open up a seettings menu in the root folder. There is an argument in there which attributes to opening the external source which happens to be google. I was wondering how I could change that program to open up and paste the barcode into www.fastpricecheck.com. Every way I have done it so far has given me nothing but errors. there is a cab version of this program for windows mobile. Could I have the argument open the program and paste the barcode there? Any help would be appreciated and these two together would make a really cool app for our phones.
Thanks again
Hello,
do you have any example codes that do return results when used normally on the site, but return errors when used through Barcorama?
1d barcode
Nothing actually returns through the program. It always asks to go to the external. Yet whenever I tried to change the code to copy the barcode to the fastcheck.com it just gives me an error saying that the url does not accept characters. You have an awesome program by the way. If we can just get it to work like this and maybe add a few extra tweaks we would have one heck of a program to rival the G1's
I might suggestion you do a quick read through of the rules, and read what is below the DEVELOPMENT AND HACKING hyperlink at the forum menu:
Everything to do with software development for the phones. Please refrain from posting unless you're a software developer or hardcore techie. Postings from others will be moved.

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!

Hey, apologies for the double post but I figure someone will more likely see this here.
Hi all,
I've noticed that there is a script embedded in the FpseCE (PSX emulator for WM) forums which redirects visitors to either rogue anti virus search results (bing page) or a fake 'your system is infected' script. This sets a cookie which means it won't show up for another 20 days. Both Firefox and IE is affected.
I assume some of the crew behind this emulator are on here or someone knows them, so would someone be able to pass along the message? I don't have time to have a proper look into what's causing it right now, but here's a blog post about this issue - http://www.theprohack.com/2010/04/ne...wordpress.html
If you want to know what I'm talking about, go to http://www.fpsece.net/forum2/ or any page on the forums. You may need to clear your cookies! Once it's viewed, you won't see it again from that page. Remember, it's a scam so for gods sake don't click 'Ok' to anything! Ctrl+Alt+Del to close Firefox if needs be.
Hope that helps.

Edit: Little more info - the rogue script is available on every page on the forum which suggests it's probably lurking in a header somewhere on the page. The main site is unaffected.
The fake rogue scam anti-virus page (hello Google!) is hxxp://gescansecurity.org (with a referral link at the end). This page also redirects to Bing results for 'freeantivirus'
I don't like seeing scammers attempting to take advantage of anyone, let alone XDA, so hope this can get fixed asap!
