Hello Friends

And Never Done All These Thing Before With My Xda Mini S
Can Any One Give Me Some Lessons About It?
Help Me Please...
Hi itsvikki, welcome to XDA-Developers.
You might want to be a little more specific on what you want help with or you're probably not going to get much help. Also, use either the search on here or use google and search for the specific topics you want to learn about and I'm sure you will find lots of information on what you want to know. To make it a little easier, using google usually comes up with a lot more specific hits on what you're looking for on here than the search function on here does. I'm just telling you that because if you go through a few pages worth of threads here a see the ones with 0 replies, it's usually because it's something that there is a whole lot of information on here already that they could have just searched for but didn't so no one decided to help them out.
read the wiki

You wouldn't have to duplicate threads if you search.
I think it will be a great idea if we can put SOME topics as stickies, but not too much.
I also would be very pleased if we can have a moderator that would be real "active" on the forum, in other words, that deletes topics from one-time-posters with questions that are asked about 1000 times. That will keep the forum(s) a bit cleaner and better to search.
If I search for TomTom or Rom Upgrade now, I will get a lot of search results, but the pain in the ass is that about half of the results are questions of one-time-posters/noobs that didnt use the search function.
Also I get a lot of PM's with noob questions from people that have 0 posts and are not active on the forum(s), but I think a lot of members here have the same problem. I am always willing to help, but for now I stopped replying to simple questions from people that have 0 posts, just because I know that all the answers are in the forum, so you will come to the conclusion that they didn't use the search function at all.
And no....I dont wanna volunteer as mod

The simple answer would be use (and update) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard When I had a universal it was always my first port of call at the begining
Problem with this is that someone will write a post on how to open a can of coke. What qualifies this as a tutorial? If someone pms me asking for it to be made sticky, I'll see how the thread grows, and if the community are finding it truly helpful, I'll make it sticky. However, then we'll end up being overwhelmed with 3pages of stickies even before you get to current posts.
My idea, which I proposed to the mods, is first to detail your post titles, eg
[new release] VJNubilous - makes you last all night
[tutorial] Stamina - Desensitising techniques pros/cons

This makes them stand out and easier to search for.
However, a longer term solution is to have a dedicated Tutorial forum etc.
But again, we have the wiki, and that's a better place for that kind of stuff. The onus is on the original poster to realise his post is useful and put it on the wiki - but anyone can edit the wiki, so everyone should

i posted 3 times on this forum noone ever answered - even though i know that these topics were discussed. Of course everyone here YELLS - YOU ARE A NEWBIE go search the forum - the search brings up 1000s of post that would take 10 days to read and find what anyone needs....
This forum will be much better with stickies - way better.
For example right now i am sitting and trying to find a way to install properly Windows Lite on my phone and i know that posting for help will be useless.... so i emailed directly to the creator of those skins.
But if there was a sticky - that would help a lot....
Just my 2 cents

I am a newbie here, I appreciate the work everyone has done here too. I am also a bit knowlegeble on other stuffs and i am also a memebr of other forums. from experience. it would help alot if there is a tutorial section. example, xbox-scene.com there is a dedicated place for tutorials and they really broke all aspects of everything that has to be with the xbox. Please can the moderators and human gods that make this site tick please have mercy on us. Im sure that there are also alot of people here, that will help to get this thing done in no time.
Thanks again for every thing.

Like Vijay said, instead of stickies we have the Wiki, thats much much better then a sticky will ever be.
p.s. I replied to one of your topics (ringtone help), the reason that you dont have reply's on your other topics is maybe because nobody knows the answer?
The WiKi pages are THE place for Tutorials.
And it saves us mods a lot of work (I have a life next to this too).

Thanks, already started getting to work.
agree with it over all
but i have done searches and you get 20k worth or look at but usally half have nothing to do with what your looking for since someone puts off topic in a thread and you end up drilling down for nothing on a lot of it
and the wiki is there but not well maintained at the moment has some info but not a lot >>> but work in progress take time lord i know i work my reg job 16 + hrs a day
but a sugjestion of a more detailed thread break down
would be nice
Hi Guys,
I am an absolute newbie, so please forgive me if I am asking a questions thats simple, or explained somewhere. I have tried searching arround but not got anywhere.
I have searched loads to get a WM6 rom, and at last I have found one. I am ready to go; have my image, and it looks like it will automatically do the update for me.
However, after experimenting awhile a go with ipaqs, I learnt a valuable lesson; backup your existing rom versions.
Does anyone know of a link to a wiki or can anyone explain how I can backup my XDA o2 Mini's factory installed WM5 ROM before I try to flash it with WM6?
That way if things dont go to plan, i can always reinstall the existing system?
Dont think I could even attempt what im trying if it werent for the people on this forum, so respect, and im sorry if im asking something thats explaind elsewhere. Just point me to where I can do further research and im happy to work it out myself.
Cheers guys,
Luke.
On behalf of the newbies here, welcome to xda.
Sometimes the search tool is a bit overwhelming in its response but i dont believe you when you say you didnt get anywhere by searching . My advice to you is to read the wiki and understand it. Browse through the enormous wizard forums for hours and hours before you play with your expensive toy.
Ignore your wife, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mistress, your nurse, your pets, your babies, your visitors, your friends, your enemies, etc for a few minutes and just read. Take notes if you think there's too much.
Post your questions in an informative manner ie mention what device, carrier, rom version your using. This helps more knowledgable people answer your question.
hey just got a tilt. dont really know how to change everything yet. was wondering if anyone can get me started in changing the skin to that black one that shows weather n stuff. please help thanks!
Welcome to the Wonderful world of Xda-Developers. I must apologize that we cannot respond to requests as Open-ended and generic as yours. Please feel free to search and read the Sticky Threads at the top of the Kaiser Forums. Also you should search for and check out GWENI. You will find it a valuable resource.
best way to figure your phone out is go through every menu and every option and every program... then hop on here for tips/tricks.
forum 101: read before posting
Hi Guys
i need your help i just bought an HTC Diamond yesterday and i am dissapointed, the device has a number of issues 1 is that the touch flo is not smooth and there is about 3 to 5 secs lag time, second is that the battery life is crap. anyways i read on the net that an updated ROM can fix these issues, the current ROM VERSION i am using is 1.35.456.3 WWE, please let me know if there are newer ROM versions and where i can download them,p.s. will ROM upgrade actually fix the battery life issues as well as memory leak. I really hope that the touch pro doesn't have all these issues.
This isn't the correct forum. If you had actually read the rules you agreed to when you signed up, you might have noticed that one said SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST! So if you had done this, you would have found what you're looking for.
Normally, under these circumstances, I would direct you there, but seeing as it's called Diamond ROM Development, I'll let you find it yourself
you can find all your answers in my signature link
to answer your question without the entire search first part:
1. yes there is a newer one
2. look in the diamond development rom section

Has it ever occured to you that one might be in a hurry to solve a big issue, if you can't help a new comer and direct them corrctly then u should keep your comments to your self. I mean we are humans and we all make mistakes but that doesn't mean you come out and bite people's heads off. Thats the problem with the world today instead of stopping and helping u choose to be agressive and blame them, anyways i am happy to say that other more thoughtful members of this forum helped me. Thanks..
Well, I don't really want to flame your posts but Rorydaredkign is right maybe not the right way to say it
The information you seek are just 2 clicks away from the button "new topic" and a little search might help find anything you need but obviously you did not take a bit of your time to browse the forum...
As a new comer, do not take anything for granted!
@original poster
If you can get 1.37 to load up and apply some of the settings in the Diamond Tweaks sticky you will find things a lot better.
I would stay away from tweak number two in that thread though as most people have found it renders their handset inoperable and have to hard reset. However, as you will have to hard-reset to upgrade anyway you might want to give it a go.
I agree with you about the aggression. I understand the power of search but when you're new, a string of posts telling you to use the search, when it would have been quicker to answer the question, is unnecessary - and not really community spirited.
Sorry to flame, but in about 3 weeks, this forum has degenerated from a place of discussion to a place where noobs just ask and don't search. And thats slightly annoying.
But, I'll say no more.

And what makes you not a noob are countless posts like the one above which have elevated you to "Senior Member". Congratulations on your achievement.

Well for one, I know how to search
And the thing is, like I said, normally I would search myself, then post a link, but when there's an actual forum called Diamond ROM Development, I couldn't be ****ed.
And you say its posts like this which have made me senior, but you're wrong.
Granted, I tell people to search, and I should probably just say nothing, but before, people have told me off for describing in detail something which can be found by a 2 word search or in the wiki.
So don't just think I go round telling people they're noobs, I don't usually, But here I have.
Rory
Peace, people! This forum isn't the right place for this kind of discussions
ok guys since i started this i will make an attempt to end it,
"rorydaredkign"- i understand ur frustration and i am sure your senior member due to more positive reasons than knowing how to search, but it is wrong to bite people's heads of just because they do not know something even though it is two clicks or one click away, i mean take an example ur in a new place u have never been and when u ask for directions people bit ur head off and tell u why not get a map. You should put ur self in my shoes, i just purchased the diamond its expensive and its not working propoerly so i was freaking out and was trying to get help as quickly as possible, if i had time on my hand i would sit and search and go through the whole forum. There is no need to go around calling people names we are all mature here and name calling is something we all left back in junior school, by you going around the forum and calling people noobs just displays u as an unprofessional character, This forum is set up so that people everywhere can assist each other and share the knowledge, so please lets burry this hatchet and try our level best to maintain strong good community. Let us leave this issue behind us and move on with what is really important. Not that there is a need to applogise but i feel i should applogise for asking a question when i could have searched and found what i was looking for. Having said that i still enjoy this forum i think its fantastic and there is alot to learn from everyone here, thanks to everyone for their contribution.

Not a good first post for a newcomer . This is a library of information, not " help me make my phone cool " tech support. If you want help and to make friends here, please use the search function, read the available information, then come back with specicific questions on things that you do not understand and other members will be glad to help you out.
All the information you need is here.

Hi decon7,
thanks for replying to my post and hopefully pointing me in the right direction. i realise that all forums are libraries of information but at the same time have the facility to ask and answer questions.
I think you have misunderstood the reason for wanting to run android on my phone as it's certainly not to "help make my my phone look cool". I am merely looking for a better and more functional OS.
Also before sending this post I'd searched this forum for many hours looking for answers to my questions. It seems the issue is incredibly complex and the info becomes out of date very quickly so in the hope that someone might be able to give me some simple answers i posted a few questions. i'm sorry if this has offended the etiquette of this board or just yourself.
thanks again for the reply

Yeah looks like someone could do some overhauling on the Android/Kaiser Wiki.
I don't know much about it either.
