We and I say We all need to particaipate in the updating of the wiki.xda-developers.com
Short Version:
Who is willing to build the frame work of the BlueAngel in wiki.xda-developers.com
Long Version:
If you look at:
wiki.xda-developers.com
Its great!! Unless you own a Blueangel.
Well I do!
Personally I am sick of reading the same stuff about fix.bat over and over again.
Personally It has taken me a few weeks to get were I am Now and yes I have been able to find out a lot but it was Painful.
I Still have outstanding questions that were not answered for at the time I asked then they were just plain "Stupid".
A Newbie asking a question based on his limited knowledge.
We still see these questions, also left unanswered.
So as we have all been Newbie's playing with our new toys, should we not help others based on what we have learnt.
I have spent some time looking at that Blueangle and posting a few topics.
What I still have is a collection of How to for the BlueAngle that I feel are wrong if placed in the forum.
These are at the moment finished.
How to: Find out what my device is before upgrading
Goes into GetDeviceData, explains the fact why you only see the device name if opened on the device, ect ect.
How to: Find the correct upgrade ROM for me
Based on the get device info,
goes into how to find the upgrade, understanding the naming of the ship file, checking if it has a password
all based on a real example with real threads
How to: Install a upgrade and what tools to use.
All based on what was found before
all based on a real example with real threads
I am working
How to: Upgrade radio
Also based on the same as above.
One can add to that the Extended rom stuff out of the Rom kitchen.
Now here is my problem.
- I cant do this alone
- I have no Idea about how to do even basic web pages
- My spelling sucks.
So my contributions to this project is:
I have 3 canned inputs and am will to add to them.
So all we need:
1) A Person that understands how to update the wiki.xda-developers.com and thus build a frame work that we all can build on.
2) A place to take about it and make suggestion or corrections
--> which we have in this topic.
3) A starting point
---> being my canned input.
And that reads only as:
Who is willing to build the frame work of the BlueAngel in wiki.xda-developers.com.
Although many people read this forum, and a large number help on answering questions in the forum.
only a few make great posts in the forum, and even less put something in WIKI. Although with the knowledge gathered here I believe this wiki has the potential of being the best reference on the net.
I would be available for help on editing/checking whatever you put in WIKI, if you want me to. Just let me know what you want me to do in detail.
M4io
Thanks.
I understand what you are saying however my main problem is building the frame work.
At the stage of the game I am not even able post a Quote with out getting the Quote text

See what I mean.
Others can do it, me no way
We can go further on my lack of forum knowelege.
In the past I used to start off by hitting the bold, qoute, ect buttions so that I had a list to cut and paste from.
Now I GROWN and can just mark the text and hit the bold.
See .... I would get so lost trying to link the first page to the next.
You would end up on one of my personal links and your wife would not be amused.
Think the edit / checking is a great option, thanks for that!
but do we have any takers for the frame work part.
Well if this newbie could figure anything out I would help you.
if you will tell me were your want what link, and which new pages you want i can make them for you.
like if you want a blueangel link on the the Faq to a new page BlueAngelFAQ. Questions like that I can handle, but you have to figure out how the framework has to be. And supply the contents of the newpage.

Which points to a new page. (BlueHome)
On that new page we need a photo on the top of a BlueAngell
We Start with one simple sections and have that a Title.
How to:

Linked to pointer in that same page (Help01:Findevice)
How to: Find the correct upgrade ROM for me

How to: Install a upgrade and what tools to use.
Linked to poiner in that same page (Help01:Instal)
I have the file in the same format as I would post here , will that work ?
So in total 2 new pages, home and help.
The help page will have 3 text blockes that can be fopund over the bluehome.
You still with me? and can you set that up and I dump the text in it.
like this?
I saw the link on the home page pointed to a different page than the page that was already there for the blueangel.
now they all point to Blueangel with lowercase 'a'.
... ah, and now m4io else has just created HTC_BlueAngel with capital A.
hope he sees the other page too.
yes, we were doing the same at the same time.
you can delete mine , it has no use now no
and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BAHowTo should also be deleted
MDAIIIuser : you can edit this page :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
ok done
Now have a look at it I have formting problems
This is wha the first part should look like
In order to change your ROM to a higher or different Language version you need the following information.
1) What is my model Nr?
2) What is the Language Code of my ROM?
3) What is the operator code that my phone was shipped as.
4) What ROM do I have now?
5) What ExtendedRom do I have now?
6) What is my Radio Version
How to find all of this information in one place.
Step 1
Insure that your device is connected to your Desktop....
I get it all on one line.
Next problem
Under that cold you add
this is a qoote A
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I can work that syntax out?
Next Problem
Can you turn the "?"Link of for C:\XDA-Tools\?GetDeviceData.exe
and change the color to blue, again to work out syntax.
You are cool and I am learning, thanks
Thanks
Help
Ok lost again
Solved the nunber problem and thus created a new one and that is how to stay in the same numbering with text betwwen it.
What I need is a command that will generate a new line and yes I have tried the <new-line> and a few versions of it.
What I need is some color (blue, red)
What I need is getting rid of the "?" links.
Feel free to edit the page in so that I can work the syntax out.
Hey it looks Like s**t but its a start
Thanks!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
have you see the TextFormattingRules?
a newline is three percent signs: %%%
this wiki has no support for colors.
the '?' links mean that you typed a WikiWord, and it has no page yet.
if you don't want it to be a link, add a tilde ( ~ ) before the word.
Have now! Thanks itsme.
Will sombody take a look, do some fixing on the spelling, give me some feed back?
Thanks
2 down 1 to go.
Hey buddie!
I can do some adjustments if you like but I don't know how!!!!
Explain it to me and I'll help!!!
Dom
Help
Hi all
I need some help!! with the Wiki Home Page.
1) I would appricate it if somebody would deal with the home page and look at the info that is there, if it is upto date and usefiul
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
2) I would appricate it if that person would add the following sections to that home page:
A) Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki
----> Linked to the content of:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
Yes you need to change the page name But keep the content.
B) Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope I can work on
C) List of know Blue angel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope somebody will work on
D) List of Know Upgrades (Ship.exe)
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope somebody will work on
E) Wiki Development page
----> Linked to a page that has:
--------> Wiki Test Page please read and edit
--------> Wiki Test Page Please do not edit (add your name here)
--------> Wiki Test Page Please do not edit (MDAIIIUser)
My Spelling is poor on a good day, so if the link is spelled wrong just correct it.
3) Will somebody please look at the content of
"Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki"
And correct it for spelling understanding ect.
This is what I have done sofar and as said above the link might change
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
==============
Lets not get in each others hair!
So can Please each of us post what they are going to do on this site.
I will start:
MDAIIIUser Will work on the page Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen and use his test page under devlopment for that.
Thanks for all the help so far
mmm, the aim of WiKi is that EVERYONE can update EVERY page.
so: Go ahead & Good Luck
I think it would be more appropriate to add those sections to the main Blueangel page
i think currently there are some links on the homepage that are too specific.
also some of the himalaya, and wallaby links should be moved to their phone pages.
then on the homepage more a general introduction, to what kind of information about what phones is available on this wiki.
I moved to Himalaya stuuf from the HomePage to the Himalaya page.
I also added a Sitemap link on the homepage, which could be useful
Mio4
First of thanks for doing a clean up!
Alas I fail to understand how to link a page form the Blueangel Home page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
To the content of another page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
When I go into edit of the Blueangel homepage, apart form getting lost, I get
* BlueangelFAQ
Which seems to be the name of the page that it is linked to.
That is all I see, that is all I can understand.
So my problem is that although I have created informtion that I would like to post I just don't know how to:
1) Open and name a page like BA_GettingStarted
2) Link that named page (BA_GettingStarted) from the blueangel home page over the wording
"Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki"
so that the blueangle home page reads like this
BlueangelFAQ
Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki
List of know Blue angel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc
List of Know Upgrades (Ship.exe)
Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen
Given that info I would be able to add a few other pages without having to beg somebody to do it for me.
Would you please explain this so that I and others can also add infomation to Wiki.
Thanks
that is what a wiki does, make it really simple to link, and create new pages.
you create a link, just by typing the a pagename, with at least TwoLettersCapitalized, or, if your pagename does not have 2 capitalized letters, you can put it between [brackets] to make it a link.
when you type a pagename that does not yet exist, and view the saved page with your new link on it, you will see it with a questionmark next to it. if you click on the question mark, you go to the edit page of your new page.
so 'BlueangelFAQ' is automatically a link, in a wiki.
if you want to give the link a different description than the page name, you can write it like this:
[your description|LinkName]
that is, write between [brackets] your description, and the pagename separated with a vertical bar symbol.
I would like to think I am pretty tech savvy, but for some odd reason I can not get any of these to work. I am trying to get dutty's newest one plus the touchflo cube to work on my phone, but I guess I just cant grasp the concept of getting it to work. I have an AT&T Tilt.
If someone could set something up and call me and walk me through doing this, then I will literally pay you to do it. Just send me a private message or email me to set something up.

Thanks in advance - ePedemIx
P.s. I dont want people telling me to search the forum, and all that because I have searched to the end of this forum and back, and Downloaded several different files and I havent had no such luck.
Sent you a PM
Unfortunately, people like me are going to tell you to search.
However, you need to search in the Kaiser Upgrading forum. Check out this thread to get started. It will guide you to everywhere you need to look to be successful.
!!PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A NEW THREAD IN THE UPGRADING FORUM!!​
That will irritate a lot of people...
I started this wiki because of many threads popping up every week about newbies wanting to get more software for their shiny, new Kaisers. There is a lot of stuff out there so I thought that I would start gathering some common and popular applications in one spot, organize them intuitively, and post them for the world to see. Let me know what you think. Feel free to add it yourself or post in this thread and I'll add it myself.
Software recommendations for the Kaiser wiki
To Do:
- Continue adding software, free/pay status, and information about each entry
- Possibly organize it a bit better
- Add a table of contents if I can figure it out
- Alphabetize the entries
Hi I'm pretty new here, in my Signature is the all the useful stuff I have come across so far, hope it helps.
Core Player
I think CorePlayer is missing in the video section. Its a pay software. Thanks for starting this wiki
Thanks both of you guys. I'll get those things added today probably.
Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers
one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.
waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..
well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!
Kaiser tweak setting does it for me when advanced cong did not work.

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers
use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.
Bruce, a very active and extremely helpful user helped me understand the basics of flashing a rom. It finally was sucessful and I now have one of duttys awesome roms installed.
The process helped me grasp some of the general aspects about the phone, and I am very greatful for the help I already got, because I would never have dared to leap into it myself.
What some of you guys might not understand is that the information here can be quite overwhelming despite all the newbie guides. To put it roughly: Flashing a rom appearantly boils down to installing a .cab, placing a exe in a folder together with a spl.nbh and then running the exe. Then you replace the .nbh with your chosen rom-file and run the .exe again.. There you have it.. More or less described in two sentences, but when you read about it here its just... Woah.. Bigtime information overload.
My point is that I have no doubt that you get the same questions over and over and over again, and it must leave the impressions that people are to lazy to look into the things themselves. In some cases that may be true, but I bet that in most cases it aint. It is simply a question about things sounding more complicated than it is when you browse such a comphrensive forum as this.
So despite the newbie-guides, pre-guides and "for dummies guides" you will still get questions that has already been answered. And in most cases it is a sign of unsecurity more than lazyness.... And maybe because that enthusiasts (the polite way of saying nerds) may THINK they explain things as simple as possible, but for a newbie it is still extremely complicated.
Just a little thought after my own first experiences with tampering with my phone.
With that said, my "new" phone left me with some questions:
- Is a cooked ROM a legal piece of software? Not that I care much about it, Im just curious. It looks like a windows with a very comprehensive skin, but afaik it is a whole new OS, and I doubt that the chefs have been building those up from scratch. Does that mean that it is a hacked windows or what? EDIT: Found an interesting read and got it answered: Not legal, but noone cares I guess.. We all paid the software the day we bought the phone. The day we see phones without preinstalled OS the case may be a different I guess
- With my new Dutty ROM I was forced to give up my danish interface. Is it possible to change at least some of the interface back to danish in some way? The ROM itself have no built-in support for danish, but maybe through a language pack of some sort? Also my phonenumbers shows up in this format: (XXX) XXX-XX which is quite annoying for a dane who is used to XXXXXXXX. Is there any way to change this back to the way it were? I have not been able to find the options in anywhere of the settings-menu (99 % sure it isnt there, looked both in regional settings and phone settings). I have brief experiences with tampering with the registry file, but I am reluctant to do so without proper guidance to where to modify it, but I assume that thats where I will do it?
I have already recieved extremely much help here and I WILL take my part in answering my share of inquiries on this board when I have the answers at hand.
Thank you in advance.
Mmmm...
"Also my phonenumbers shows up in this format: (XXX) XXX-XX which is quite annoying for a dane who is used to XXXXXXXX. Is there any way to change this back to the way it were?"
I may be wrong, but you should be able to do this with the 'Regional Settings' - Go to Settings Tab, Locale & Text, Regional and select the country you want from the 'Region' list. I'm not sure if this works for phone numbers though?
It is set to danish but only have impact on the currency and date formats.
If it was THAT easy, I deserved a whooping for asking.
