IMPORTANT: Major Wiki update - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Guys and gals, I've just finished migrating my latest articles & Bibles from the last ~5 months into the Wiki (so far, I haven't had the time to do this).
VERY important: I use my own scripts to convert my HTML-based articles to PhpWiki (also using other, Web-based PhpWiki converters). Unfortunately, there're some constructs that I just can't convert (and don't have the time to manually adjust ALL the articles - remember, there are hundreds of them); for example, consequent rows separated by only one line feed. (With them, the rows aren't rendered separated.)
If you encounter cases like this and would like to read the original instead,
1. you can find almost all these articles in the General forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=256 ) here; you can easily find them by just entering a, say, sentence to search for from my Wiki article, only searching for my nick and the General forum in the Advanced Search engine ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php )
2. at the bottom of many of my articles, there's a "Cross-posted to" section. Just click the XDA-Devs link in there.
3. alternatively, you can also search my blog ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ )
I do hope you'll find my articles useful

PikoWiki

Here is something I came across today. Some of you might enjoy it.
PikoWiki Optimizes Wiki-Editing for Phones
If your net-connected phone or PDA lacks an easy-to-sync note-taking application, or you just prefer the open-ended nature of wikis, PikoWiki is one of the better mobile-friendly wikis out there. A super-slim interface gives you all the tools you'll need to make and edit notes and lists, and search or browse your pages. Those with basic HTML knowledge don't have to learn a single bit of wiki style, and anyone can try it out on the demo pages provided. The real benefit, of course, is getting at those same notes from any other browser you find yourself at. PikoWiki is free to sign up for and use.

[Q] Custom Tab

Hi guys,
I don't know if this is the right forum to post on..
but I have a question relating to adding a Custom Tab in TF3D to display a custom program.
Is there an app out there that allows you to add your own custom tab? I would like to have a tab to run a third party app. Or is that a ROM thing?
Do I just change the registry in the manila files?
Also, is there a guide for noobs to understanding how TF3D works? I've had a look at the wiki and it lists all the manila files and their functions, but I'm not sure how they work (e.g.: Can I just 'add' an extra entry into a manila file and get an extra tab?)
Much appreciated if someone can point me in the right direction!
Really??? No one??
Wow....
Okay then, I'll give it a shot myself. I have basically no programming experience (aside from high school VB and a little HTML and I read a little C++ in 24 hours...I got to the 6th hour and got lost ) but it seems to me that editing various manila files (e.g.: 269*_manila) seems to be the way to go.
I'm on holidays at the moment, so I will get to it next week, but here's the plan of attack:
1) Find a manila file that lists the tabs and duplicate a tab entry but change the name (from various online readings it seems like it's 269**338_manila or something)
2) Find all the references and links that manila file has and duplicate those (obviously under a new name)
3) Duplicate the mode9 file, and see if I can't create a replicated tab of an existing tab
4) Change the mode9 file
5) Realise that I don't actually know how to do that, and find out how to use mode9editor as well as learn how to read the stuff that comes up
6) Cry a little
7) Play around some more
Any pointers from people who've tried? Or know more than I do (which, I am guessing, is most of you)
Oh, by all means, try yourself. And then post here.

Making a shortcut to a web page.

I use for very long time SPB Shell and I am very happy with it, but what I was missing it was a direct link to a web site. For long time I used links on first page of Opera but they are only 9 and I need it more. Sow I start digging for a solution.
I find this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490447 on my favorite site (xda-developers.com) but it doesn't say nothing about web links. So I just try a solution by myself and I find it. Please remember maybe somebody else find this solution to, but personally, I didn`t find noting about this subject in my searches.
How you to:
1. You create a new .lnk file or you just duplicate one already existent (you can do this in other programs to but i will explain only for resco)
2. Rename .lnk file with any name you desire.
3. At properties on second tab named "Shortcut" on "Target" field write "http://www.website.com" were www.website.com is you desired website. Please do not forget to write the "http://" part because without the link is not working.
4. Deselect if is need it "Hidden" option on "General" tab other ways backup program will ignore the link and you may lost it on next restore.
4. Whit a specialized program change icon of link with a icon of your choice. I created a icon (png file) with a snap shot for every page I use.
5. Enjoy.
Here is my page in SPB Shell dedicated to Web (for icon used here please visit my blog www.everydaymobiles.blogspot.com)

Excel function

Alright...so i have a question
i know it says that i am "breaking the rules" by asking a question here...but it's not an excel mobile question...it's a question about an actual microsoft windows/office question
and since this is the only off-topic non-mobile forum i can find...this is the only place where i see it fits...if i'm wrong, feel free to move the forum
anywho!
i decided to ask here since xda members are relatively well-equipped to answer tech questions and i really don't feel/like the thought of registering at an excel help forum just for one question..so here goes!
I have two worksheets in an excel file
they both contain the same type of data
they're athletes (hockey players) with all their stats...organized in columns
both sheets have
NAME GP Goals Assists Points
one sheet is this past year...another sheet is the year before that
what i'd liek to do is link the rows that have the same player name
so that I can see Player A's points from last year compared to the year before that and see his progress
is this possible and can anyone help?
how's that for completely off topic
hehe
thanks!
Take year before last worksheet and sort it by name. Save workbook.
On last year's sheet, in the column where you want prior year's points to show up use the function VLOOKUP and refer it to the other sheet data range. Copy the formula down your column for the other players.
Read a little bit on it.
Some tips on VLOOKUP....
1. If you are going to pull several pieces of data from another table use appropriate absolute value for your Lookup_Value. If pulling data fields across and you want to copy the formula down to pull back several players, only make sure the column address is absolute. The row address should not be absolute. F4 toggles the available absolute addresses when in the Lookup_value field. Or just type in $ before what you want absolute.
2. For Range_lookup use False. It will force an exact match to the player's name as opposed to the closest name.
thanks! exactly what i was looking for...

Make new version "Romantique" theme for "GO Launcher EX"

"Romantique" theme for "GO Launcher EX"
Code:
/mobile.brothersoft.com/go-launcher-theme-romantique-95832.html
I beg to remake this theme at "Min Hyo Rin" with all the wallpaper with her participation, that is proposed to replace the wallpaper in the theme for this with the same order:
1) Change the default name in the "Min Hyo Rin".
2) Replace the standard icon on the icon of the face Min Hyo Rin with photo 17 on a white background on the link above. Also, make it hidden in the applications menu, primarily because (I think) it is in the applications menu.
3) Repeat a photo on a white background (there are two versions of themes.) To remove, since this is the standard image. Also, do not count repetitions, because the default author accidentally added replay. If possible, make a separate browser for adding photos to your desktop as a "Photo with Min Hyo Rin".
4) Replace all standard icons on the "iPhone". Standard in the theme stupid icons (although there are "iPhone" like), and menu icons remain untouched. And most of the icons to add to the same third-party applications.
5) Replace the rest of the art in the "iPhone".
No one can help? Sorry

Why not make your own theme of what you're asking for? I believe they posted a guide on how to do just that here in the forums.

If I could, you would not ask
I tried through the online editor of themes, but there the problem. For example, the downloaded images are not seen for a long time thinking, etc.
