new member and tilt user

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.

thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

But that was pretty deep info lol. It's like you get chocolate and you taste it to see if it's good or not then eat the whole thing in one bite after you're done and then you go to get more chocolate. lol.

I knew this site had underlying agenda...MALWARE COOKED INTO THE ROMS???
5 cents per ROM install
kinda like the people who release XP and Vista .ISO's with Malware preloaded so its untraceable
I knew a guy that was getting $1 an install and made close to $100,000

Psssh. This site is like drugs. Too addicting. But unlike drugs you can't not be addicted to it o.o

Here's a tip- MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE FORUMS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NOT SOME OTHER FORUM.
you can tell i've made this mistake before.

Even though you've been told to read, read, and read some more, I think you need to be told this at least once.......
DO A SEARCH YA FRIGGIN NOOB!!
Now you have been properly initiated.

Just wondering about the forum's Index page...

it's not alphabetize like Wallaby is the first then Blue Angel, etc...
so how are they arranged? is it by released date? good-better-best?

EDIT: wrong information, sorry

im pretty sure the sedna was released before the blackstone so i don't think ur right orb3000
ill ask around

To tell the truth I have no idea, Flar decides the order where new forums are inserted.
From what I've observed over the years, she try and keeps similar devices together to make it intuative to find similar phones, but I'm not sure on the exact criteria (and if it stays the same each time a new forum is added ).

As long as it stays in the current sequence, then most of us can find are way around

Ok you lot - this is the way I see it. You all remind me of the clueless guy in this sketch. The guys serving, well that's me and laughing boy is P1Tater -

.. also reminds me of those guys that ask "what is the best ROM for my HTC Kangaroo... er Wallaby thingy"
oh and to the OP who said "Just wondering about the forum's Index page"; all I can say is, that's good because you are meant to wander about the forum's index page.

HE-Larry-US!
That is an AWESOME YouTube clip. I work in an Electronics store so it was particularly relevant to me.
I think the Index page will just be an XDA-Developers mystery. We can all contemplate the meaning of the Index page and come to our own conclusions, and make religions trying to explain it. All the while trying to make sense of it and praying that when your new device comes out it isn't stuck right in the middle somewhere causing you to always scroll around.
I for one am curious, but at this point I think I'd rather not even know IF there is a formula for device placement.

thanks guys!
now i'm really confused.

PPCGeeks Down

I haven't yet divined the relationship between xda-devs and ppcgeeks, so maybe it's more Cain and Abel than Yin and Yang - but anyone here know why PPCGeeks is down?

Before it went offline the site started redirecting me to some torrent/porn malware site. It happened with every form link. Then it went offline. Then I came back to XDA and I no longer feel the need to make an abundance of waffles to fill the void.
All is well...for now.

It seemed to be redirecting earlier to a dupedb--quick searching on the name took me to a neowin's forum post about a similar hijacking they had.

awww such a shame, I guess douchey moderating eventually comes back to bite them!

similar to douchey irrelevant posting I'm sure. Thanks for contributing and proving the vast superiority of your maturity in contrast to ppcgeeks ... moving on and thanks to those who posted info.

It was a redirect to dupedb that was injected into their code. This can either be due to a vulnerability with the software versions they use on their server, compromised administrative credentials, or other stupid stuff.
My guess is that the site was taken offline in order to fix the problem.

Oh c'mon - you could still post it at lilrico's ... I mean, all the cool kids are doing it. You ARE one of the cool kids, right??? Anyone who follows your ROM is already hitting up your site directly in anticipation of said update.

not to be mean or anything but i wouldn't have seen this if he didn't make a thread about it since i don't read the tutorial threads. not everyone lives 24/7 on the forum and knows every post thats in every thread and anyone has the right to make their own thread. eventually this will get burried 10 pages deep. still it's pretty cool that the vogue is making the "news" but kinda crappy that there is no mention of dzo's great work getting android as functional as it is. honestly if xda had a developer of the year award dzo would win.

Yeah really, can't believe that Crobs let him give him credit he even acted like it was so easy like changing your shoelaces. Not to mention the style of that writer is pretty weaksauce. He even mentioned 15k views for crobs thread when DZO is around a million. Talk about writing a story out of your ass I couldn't believe it was a real wired article.

Thats why when the writer tried getting me to give input for the story, I didnt email her back because I had nothing to do with porting android to the vogue. I knew that if I had input on the story there would be backlash. But if it were me, I would have mentioned everyone who I thought had anything to do with getting this done.

I mean don't get me wrong, Crobs helped a bunch of people out with that tutorial, and there's nothing wrong with interviewing a USER of the port. He should have done like you say, talk about his / your contribution, but also definitely what DZO did... not just brush it off like it's nothing - Like he just went to google.com and downloaded androidforvogue.cab and installed!!
Obviously this writer wasn't too bright / didn't do a shred of research before writing the article. Oh well, anyone who actually looks into this knows the real story!

Thank you very much
Rob S.

I know you said not to post.... But someone was going to
So... It's a thread so that we can all see what rom you use?
Btw.. goto goo.gl and shorten the links, so that it will fit in your sig

haha i had thought about posting in here but i was going to wait for someone else 1st lol
you really think anyone is going to click on the link in his sig to actually come to this thread and read all the gibberish in the 1st post? lol its probably the worst looking "sig" i have seen, no one really cares about all that information lol

That's his entire sig? WHAT THE HELL!
-There is a 35% chance that right now I'm on the toilet-

Too much information in the signature ;-)

INB4 Delete

Why do I have a feeling that this post will be locked/deleted soon?

ban and crucify

Funny and original but will ultimately fail. I think the OP should use as much info and add as many pictures as possible to make it the most extreme and ridiculous sig ever. (Before the lock).

You know that a URL shortening service like goo.gl will let you increase the amount you can fit in there

whee bit late on that one Look about 10 posts up.
And I hate hug long signatures that give me carpal tunnel when I have to wheel 60 million times past them just to see the next post.
Keep em' small and short is my personal rule of thumb.

OR have a snarky one like mine.

OR have a sneaky one like mine. Go ahead click it...Are we still playing that 'who gets more profile views' game?
