Have yourself a little search & read in the wiki & on google.
Not too hard & instalations are still the same depending on whether they are cab's or exe's.
Welcome to XDA!
Note, I didn't close your thread to be an a$$. We are big believers in the old "You can do it" moto, LOL.
Just do a little reading, dig right in, & then if you need clarification, I'll be the first in line to help out.
Thanks.

Why does no one help newbies?

i posted something for help and never got a reply, also i have went back alot of pages and a lot of people who are new and posted for help have received none what so ever. why is that?
chris
It might be the nature of the question or not enough info to allow someone to compose an answer without asking a question in response.
I'm hardly an old-timer around here and have found the site quite helpful and have gotten response to my questions.
its fairly easy to ask for more info tho? but it was just a question i wasnt getting on anyones back or that. i am a total newbie at these phones and need as much help as i can get to use it to its full potential
chris
I'm new here too. Asked a question, got an answer. Look at your question and two things trike me. Its a bit vague and its something I expect you could find out by searching these forums and the rest of the net.
I find that if you help yourself - by finding out as much as you can first, maybe trying a few things and having them fail - then people are far more willing to help you.
General rule of the board No.79231 - "Don't reply to anyone who spells theme incorrectly" ;-)
Seriously, it's probably because you asked a question that has been asked so many times that it is obvious you have not shown any effort by doing a search yourself.
Tip try a search for corporate AND install. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same method as on the Alpine and I'm not going to search for you I'm afraid.
yea i understand that guys, and i have searched and found a load of stuff just do not have a clue what to download theres that many.
oh an come on one typo :lol:
chris
So you started a post to ask how come no one answered your other post?
What's the question?
If you can't find the answer here, have you checked other forums?
Lotta people out there with answers...

See first thing I noticed - everything you asked in this post can be found by just searching the forum. Themes [I assume you do mean themes] can be found by a simple google search. How to install on the XDA[is that a phone?] can be found in the users manual. Upgrading the ROM might be something you wanna come back to once you know your phone a little better. Live with it a little while...

Me, Get ratty? Perish the thought. Me getting ratty would be like me saying something like, oh, I don't know - "Listen you little twit!!! Try the fricken search button!!!" But I didn't say that. I tried to offer you some help. Take it or leave it!!!
haha i like your banter :wink:
i was refering to your first question.
my questions are:
1. how do i delete the o2 bumff of my mini s
2. what programs do i need to delete it?
3. how do i get a xp style theme?
4 and is there any other good apps out there for the mini s which might intrest me?
hows that? :lol:

Thats so much better....
1. I take it you mean the ROM. You don't wanna delete the OS. You wanna upgrade it. I use the MDA/Wizard so I'm not to sure about the upgrade for the mini but I'm sure someone has cooked one by know. Again. Just search for "Mini s Rom upgrade."
2. Once you find the upgrade, it'll tell you how to install it. Read that post carefully. No since bricken the thing.
3. Search for themes. I use www.pdagold.com and a few others.
4. No Chris, how would I know what would interest you? I mean I good but mind reading isn't something I've mastered just yet - close but still not 100%. PDA gold offers some freeware. Check them out...

People do help newbies, and that's part of the job. I'm getting worried by the number of people saying that we don't help newbies. We were all one once, but for God, I suppose (I guess that's what he was doing for the first 5 days, blinging up his phone!)
Anyway, I don't know anything about the o2 stuff. I've got an o2 phone, but basically reset my phone before it installed anything from the extended rom. This basically means, extended slowness. You can then pick and choose what to install to customise your phone, resulting in a faster phone.
Theme and things: I suggest you have a look through this thread for ideas
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560&highlight=start
Many people recommend Wisbar, a customisation program to change the look of the phone. It's heavy, uses a lot of memory, but looks good.
Have a look through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57926&highlight=software
There are many similar threads on the board, but my recommendations are, install SmallMenu, gsfinder, (and for me, VJOkButt). Anything else is cosmetic or optional, these 2/3 are essential.
V
1. to remove it try doing a hard reset, then boot up in coproate mode and enter 0506.Failing that to temporarily remove it go to start->settings->remove programs and remove O2ActiveUI. This will only make it go until your next hard reset. If you want to get rid of it another way try removing the file from the startup by: fileexplorer /windows/startup remove the program called o2 startup and do a soft reset.
2.no prgrams needed
3.you need to get wisbar advance forst, then get the xp theme on that and it should work
4. get a program called spb pocket plus, great little app and tcmp movie player too is good after that it's down to personal preference
Try www.freewareppc.com for lots of freeware.

1. How to install Windows XP on my Wizard?
2. Where to download 3mpx patch for my camera?
3. And I need FM-radio patch too. May be it in AKU 3.5?
4. How to double screen resolution to 640x480?
5. And finally: how to install ASQ* Filter for this forum?
*ASQ = Another Stupid Question

Sorry about your Feelings Chris.
I felt the same a few days back when I joined this forum.
But People who scorned at me were probably those who had never even heard about the forums I am Moderating on; (these forums have nothing to do with XDA developement however) But I can assure them that had they posted anything "seemingly stupid" on those forums I would have gladly helped them.
Vijay Was extremely helpful in explaining to me the way the world runs and the Way THIS forum Runs (excuse the caps).
He came to my rescue and set things right about it and I am glad that he is here as are some other members who have been very much helpful.
This forum is a Great place for newcomers as well as for experts.
At first if you dont understand things u might feel confused; but later on as you go thru the posts......things become clear.
At least they did for me.
I have read your posts and what you write was, what I felt just 2 weeks back when I joined, Only I took it all in my stride.
Chris maybe you had the guts to speak it out loud..
So in a way you are better that me Chris !!
Please keep on searching for your answers here on xda-dev and I am sure you shall go a long way.
In case there is ever anything I can do to help you out simply whisper...
(im me)
I have posted a reply to your queries for O2 default software removing and I have posted a few Today skins (XP type)
regards....and have fun with your New Set !!
The skins are availble here :arrow:

(Simply a newbie like you )
jeasbe: I hope that you meant that sincerely, because I just read through my posts to you and I always sound like I'm a real idiot! I'm not generally such a d*ck, but I was relatively recently made a moderator, and my view is this:
I love this forum; I refresh all day, I wrote an RSS scraper for it, and post randomly all through the day. I try to keep the board as enjoyable for others as it is for me. I don't like slapping anyone down, because who am I? But sometimes, I think people forget that we're all people with brains and familes and feelings, not just meaningless posts on a forum.
So really, I mean it, if anyone gives anyone a hard time, PM me and I'll see if it's a legitimate complaint. If I can help, I'll probably end up answering a post at some point anyway, because I can't stop :shock:
Again jeasbe, apologies for sounding curt with you before, but as you can see from the above thread, people were getting out of hand and that irritated me!

Help please

I have a new HTC Kaiser, just come from a N95 8GB and have to use the Kaiser as my corporate phone. I am having real trouble as it locks up and freezes ... can't click the start button, texts dont open etc etc button presses take ages to register. Other times it is really fast... (I dont have lots of apps open) This is an unbranded , unlocked unit so I dont know why I am having all this trouble as I have installed nothing onto it.
What should I do ... It does seem to be a software thing, the device firmware is cd os 5.1.1620 (18215.0.4.2).
I just want it to be fast and responsive and work well as a phone... I hope i am not asking to much
Any suggestions would be welcome, I had a look at all the firmwares, but not sure where to start.
Mark
flash a new rom and see how it is?
that was my point, there a lot of roms to choose from ... What would you suggest....
Mark
dutty dutty dutty.. from my personal experience duttys are the ones with the most features and really speedy as well.. but try different ones out and see which one works for you
i would suggest a hard reset and see if that solves ur problem.
the rom i have in my sig is very fast and responsive.

L26! L26! L26! I enjoy his ROMs throughly. You will notice that everyone has his or her own opinion. And once you get the Bite on one, you'll want to keep trying.
Hi All,
Please forgive my ignorance but I dont have a clue what you guys are talking about... I originally was looking to see if there was a firmware upgrade for the Tytn 2 since Nov last year?
Upon stumbling on this thread I am very interested to know more... Is there a dummy's guide to doing what you describe above?
Thanks for the help and apologies for the stupidity!

Look around for the TODAY THEMES that some people have uploaded.
Threaded SMS is a feature of Windows Mobile 6.1 ... if you want it, you'll have to upgrade to 6.1

From the contents of your question I would suggest you steer clear of loading anything other than themes onto your phone until you've read everything about changing ROMs about five times.

Don't ask any more questions until you've searched for the answer first ... otherwise you won't be invited to the Christmas party.
Other than that ... welcome to the Kaiser forums
You aren't going to get any freebies around here but, I will point you in the right direction.
Themes are easy to add/change, just search this forum for "HTC home customizer" and read the threads on how to use it. Do the same for "threaded messaging" and read, read ,read. Although I don't agree with some on here that will just say "SEARCH" or "READ THE WIKI", and leave you on your own, I do feel the more you know about your device the better off you are.
There is no way to flash a cooked rom to your device without voiding the warranty.
Welcome to xda and have fun with your new device.

Sorry, but HHC is just customizer for HTC home. If u want to change themes u can make your own themes or download themes. Themes are files with .tsk exrension. Just copy these files to windows folder on your phone then go to settings/personal/today and select the theme u want.

Any suggestion?
I dropped my V1615 (tytn II) in the river (damn), have replaced with a htc diamond.
Tried to install the TT 6 that came with the tytn and error message says need a newer version of cab.
HTC and tom tom both say not compatible and and need TT v7 - not available + ive not long bought V6. Also seems to be plenty of people using v6 out there without problems
Dont really know what to do now?

Thanks and good luck!

By the way: Any one else can download
Oh yeah, heres the download link for TOMTOM 7, as i could not post it (12MB) don't worry its perfectly legal, no warez, and the source is safe as its my site and i just uploaded it.
TOMTOM 6 is included!
All in need of TOMTOM CAB
For some reason i could not upload the cabs onto an attachment. Oh well. I have uploaded them to an alternate host and like i said its perfectly legal, no warez and completely virus, trojan, spyware free, i just this second (well literally posted it. If this does not work (blah81) i will look into this matter.
Good luck, and have a great evening

Your also the type that breaks the rules of the forums by posting questions that have already been answered. If you keep it up you are going to get the moderators upset. Be warned.
