There's a reason Google and the forum search function exist. Find them yourself. If you ever plan on coming on these forums in the future, the simple advice of searching will help you A LOT.

just a point of interest...the search function has been down for the past few days. certainly was when you wrote this post and continues to be unavailable at the time of my post now.
I'm certain it worked 2 days ago, as I only noticed it was down yesterday and I use it all the time, and as of now I'm able to make a search. Plus, Google is always available. The post might have sounded harsh but it's genuinely the best general advice you could possibly give. If you have a problem, chances are that the solution is out there, and it's unlikely that you're the only one with it. Guides though are stupidly easy to come by, so there's no point someone rewriting a guide if it's already out there. Plus, doing it yourself genuinely gives a feeling of accomplishment

You are *certainly* incorrect. The search function was down when you posted that "advice" and you failing to notice it changes nothing about the fact that it wasn't working when you chastised someone to use it.
If one doesn't know the correct terms to search for, or the English language well enough to search with, then telling someone to use google (do you honestly think that people don't know how to search or that google exists? clearly you telling them to "google" is not new information) is going to be useless "advice".
Being harsh or rude without any additional assistance is neither helpful nor desirable behavior. If you want to be helpful, post the appropriate links and *then* suggest the user to the search function.
Regardless, I'm not going to debate this.

Hmm, I'm now not so sure whether I was right about the search function being down since you seem so convinced that it wasn't, but searching is by far the best thing he can do and you know it. I really CBA to argue this now, but you'd be absolutely amazed at the number of people who don't search before posting. Just see how many people ask the questions 'how do I flash Android to my HD2' or 'what is the best ROM' without looking at the popup suggestions or googling it first. About your last point about being helpful etc., telling someone to search is helpful in its own right. It will save them a lot of trouble, time and getting flamed in the future.

I understand you expect everyone new to read everything available on the subject before asking for help on some stuff that's been talked about very much,but please understand how hard it is for newcomers.I bought my UNI 7 days ago and i'm in the same situation,but i read a lot every day,i wanted to learn how to safely flash it to 6.1.The more i read the more i am scared and understand less and less.There are so much names and terms and stuff which makes us dizzy.I posted once for help,i got instructions but was not enough.I decided not to flash,i'm not capable.But i read still everything on that subject.Even though i'm an advanced pc user i have difficulty to get this new stuff straight.So i understand that sometimes someone just got to simply ask. Thanx for understanding
It's all in the wiki. You don't need to read everything. Just what's relevant to you at that particular moment in time. Then when you want to do something else then read up about that.
Oh and WM6 on the uni does NOT support videocall.
Off you go and enjoy.

I purchased a Tilt about 2 weeks ago. I want to install Flo Cube on it. Is it compatable? If so, how do I go about installing it? I have searched the site for days and have found where to get the cab files and such, but no instructions on how to install it. This is my first pocket pc, so I know very little about them. If someone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Keith
Read this and the search will help you if look the right way.
ow... installing it won't hurt your device.
oh god, this is not true ? you post on xda deveolpers that you don´t even know how to install software on you device? And therefor you open a own thread ? ARE YOUR REALLY SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT WEBPAGE FOR YOU ?
i won`t tell you because i can`t believe this . SO Start you PC, open your Browser, got to google and search "installing cab". ANd READ first Thread, and i hope you dont need another five days for that.
And again for beginners PLEASE post your Questions where you found the application !

Don't believe I am writing this but I am just about to defend the OP a little bit.
To his credit he did say he had searched before posting. We all know how imprecise searching can be on here.
I guess he hadn't taken the time out to read the forum rules or get a feel for the environment on here before posting in the develpopment area of all places (oh dear).
To the OP, I had similar worries about wrecking my device when I started on here so I understand your concern. Best thing to do is to search for the Flo Cube thread and post in there if you can't find what you are looking for. Alternatively PM me and I will see what I can do to help.
If you do PM me please say thanks afterwards. I have helped no end of people this way and they simply use me, abuse me and pi$$ off without a word of thanks. Highly irritating.

And on behalf of Kdillard, I thank you for your help.
We've got a lot of new users appear on here lately, it looks like in search of updated roms for the x1.
PLEASE IF YOU ARE NEW TO THIS THEN DO NOT FLASH A ROM
without
A) reading
B) reading some more
C) reading even more!
All the roms should come through the SE Update Service, please use that as it is a simpler method and if something goes wrong, then you can go to SE to complain..
Please use the search if you have a problem, if you don't find what you want the first time, then search again, maybe try searching around the subject.
There's a very very good chance that the question has already been answered several times!
If you can't find the answer then flick through the older pages on the thread, if it's something to do with the operation of the X1 then there's a good chance it's in the oldest pages of the forum.
Experienced members get upset by people starting new threads with the same moans or questions because it really clogs up the great search system with all manner of wasted threads. If there's an existing thread than use that please! If the questions already been asked don't ask it again!
This forum is not a SE support forum, no-one (that will admit to it anyway) is from SE so if you have issues with them why not raise it with them?
If you want to know how you X1 does various stuff try one of the operators online guides.
If you flash a custom rom or another rom obtained from here, despite being warned not too. DO NOT go running off to MS or SE complaining that it's all gone wrong, they
A) won't likely listen
B)won't like us very much
Ta.
You should keep this on the very first ROMS subforum page fards
I know It's already written everywhere... old problem... but many people falls in parachute here, landing directly inside the ROMs post from external links. XDA DEVS is da bomb
And no newbies seem to read anything but exclusively what they are looking for

Hmmm...a rather sweeping generalisation methinks...
I'm a noob here, I'll admit that. However, I'm a board Admin elsewhere in cyberspace so I know exactly where you're coming from. I've done my time reading, understanding, occasionally asking relevant questions in the relevant places, and trying to help out where I might have some answers.
Your advice is spot on, and anyone who is inexperienced should tread slowly and carefully. There is all the time in the world to learn how to get it right, but it takes very little time to totally stuff things up.
"Use the search, Luke"
Instead of telling new guys to read, you could've put the same effort into and making a nice thread for them instead.
Maybe a list on where to start reading and so on!
This thread has no meaning whatsoever. New guys will probably just read first lines skip it and ask a question.
And remember we have all been there, not knowing how to flash etc.
Also searching can be a very time consuming thing to do, and asking and getting an answer is often way faster.
this thread doesnt make sense without any links to where to read...
This forum is where you read. it is a development forum, not a help forum!
you read the first thread that the moderators try to get EVERY NEW USER to read, this was a gentle reminder to get people to do just that.
People are not here to act as customer service for people who are too lazy to use the search facility on this site.

and unfortunately it gets harder the more threads we get asking exactly the same thing over and over again.. ;P
Yea that is true. I was searching PIE6 and i ran across about 13-14 threads of the same question. i was on like page 3 or 4 of the search before i got the right hit.
maybe xda-newbies.com should be registered as a none development and referance site? lol

which reminds me the pie8 files that sun_dream posted in his BA 6.5 thread work, when copied over on itjes 6.5 (it's still pie6 core I think. but a bit snappier).
How about a period of not being able to post when registering ?, a day or three would give new members with their questions a little time to cool down and search/read for the answers which will usually be found here somewhere.
Just an idea.

I actually think that's not a bad idea, was just suggesting it to a couple of other members. Only drawback I think is that it couldn't be restricted to one sub forum such as the x1 from my experiences with vbulletin..
So it would restrict some of the truly amazing first posts that have come from some of the great genii?? on this site..
Alternatively we could have another Sub-forum, in the X1, with for newbies to ask the same questions of each other (like a creche) and anyone found straying outside of that forum until they've learnt to search and read would get electrocuted.. or something..
you mean, something like asking a question about an advanced feature, if you have it right then you're allowed to the real forums?
Well to be honest, the only thing a noob should read are the stickies. I learned to flash, edit, modify, type, behave, proof read, error correction, ask nicely, say please thank you cookie i love you, by reading those stickies.
Actually I think it's a good idea to have a sub-forum for the newbies, and then bomb them with the 'READ THE F-WORD STICKIES OR DIE' *going too far here...
Search ?? No thanks

But to search efficient you have to know what to search for, the keywords are important in a search engine. And when you're a newbie those terms might not be known to you. Or you might not understand a lot of them.
And beeing sarcastic about my comment is not helping anyone that is just pure immature.

Lets face it. Most people that come here with questions like "how can I flash my ROM?" just didn't bother to look. And trust me, there's plenty.
The bothersome thing is not that people ask questions, that's normal in a developer environment. What does bother me, and most - if not all - others is that they ask questions they can answer themselves by putting just a wee bit of time into it. Instead, they had rather have other people spend time doing everything for them. I can see where this attitude comes from - it's easier, but you get my point.

If people manage to use a search engine to find this site then they can manage to use a search engine to find the answers to their questions.
Not knowing or being too lazy to be independent enough to search is the real immaturity.
Ok so as dumb as this sounds I propose someone write a tutorial on how to search. I would do this myself but really english was not my strong point (English class I mean) it would be full of misspells and bad grammar. Anyway I always see lots of bandwith wasted on flaming people for not SEARCHING and I have even seen people who blantantly admit they don't know how to search. So we NEED a sticky on how to search ie going into the phone you have question about and search this thread, make sure the info is for YOUR phone, and I don't know maybe if any of you have ideas on what should be included on this sticky feel free to elaborate. Oh and im sure that I put this in the wrong area so SORRY mods feel free to move to better location if there is. Someone please write a noob guide on searching!!!!!!!!!!!!
p.s. I tried to move this thread sorry I posted here if anyone has the capability or can tell me how I would like to put in the best place.
I second this. For first time posters they should read a tut about searching before posting as this happens in many forums. If people come here to learn how to flash roms and unlock/customize phones, searching should be "easy" enough to do.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Thank you

No. Helping would be saying "You do this "insert explanation". Just posting that is trolling. He might as well have posted "oil platform, platypus, beetle" it tells me nothing, and I have no idea what it is and searching for it is no help at all. As always if people don't want to help that's fine but they should shut up then.

That thread is about making a theme, I don't want to make a theme. I want to sign an apk (actually I want to change an ICON but someone says you have to sign the apk whatever that means).
(Also note first line: "you will need a working knowledge of android, adb,how to resign apk's" - I don't have that, I don't have that, I don't know how to do that!)
Anyway, unsubbing this thread.
Perhaps the problem was using "sign" in the subject.
I shall make a new post with a more newbish title.
@Kermode
You want to do something, but don't want to get knowledge on how to do that, because this is too much for you. Not everything could be explained in two words.
If it means reading hundreds of threads with hundreds of irrelevant and offtopic messages, yes then it is too much for me. If it meant reading a concise page with only relevant information, perhaps it wouldn't be too much.
And whilst two words are enough for nothing, everything can be reduced to a relatively short core meaning.
Ok, I think easiest way is to:
unzip apk file
find and replace an icon
remove META-INF dir
zip everything back and name it as *.apk
sign it: you could search for testsign tool or look here: http://d.android.com/guide/publishing/app-signing.html . Most important for you are "Obtain a suitable private key" and "Sign your application with your private key".

PEOPLE like you really piss me off on forums...you dont bother looking up information like you should, your very disrespectful, and from what ive seen your an all around! Sorry for my language MODS but someone has to say it. You should learn your spot and if you wanna learn how to resign then look as there are plenty of threads. You just want someone to give you everything and do it the easy way. Sometimes in order to do things you must do your homework which apparently you cant do.
For the way you acted to the other guy i would suggest that NO ONE help this guy and let him learn how to do it by himself Since he pretty much just said he isnt gunna look through threads he wants it handed to him(look at the post above)!
PEOPLE like you disgust me!
