Wiki Blueangel Development

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.
some forum pointers :

Ok
under:
Other HTC devices
We need a new Link
BlueAngle
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:
Under how to 3 links to a postion in a new page (Help01)
How to: Find out what my device is before upgrading
Linked to pointer in that same page (Help01:Findevice)
How to: Find the correct upgrade ROM for me
Linked to pointer in that same page (Help01:Findrom)
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!!!

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.

Enter if you dare...(Questions from a new user)

Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find

However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.

I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck

being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.

Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool - Recommended

Hi all.
There is a 47 page thread on this tool but I thought I'd start a new one as it seems to be such a useful tool that newcomers could benefit from, and being here it will hopefully be easier to find!
I've used Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool to:
1. Remove sim contacts from contact view (so no duplicates)
2. Turn down the volume of the starting up wav (so you can reset at work or at 1am in the morning when your partner is asleep!).
3. It works with my Windows Mobile 6.1 (HTcustom doesn't)
4. It is a .cab file (on your desktop it will appear as a ".zip" icon). All you have to do is save it to your desktop, copy it to your device (storage card will do), then tap it and install it on your device.
The link is on at the bottom of page 1 of this thread by Schaps himself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
Scroll through the 47 pages on that thread and you will find other language versions that other users have offered.
There are many options available that I do NOT know how to use or benefit from,
so if any experienced users have any tips on how to get the most out of this tool,
your reply to this thread would be most appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Mattster.

Strange... No replies to this thread? No great settings to recommend, no change-of-life testimonials after the first use of the app?
Just installed it and went for first settings change. Let's see if my HTC Pro shall still live after I restart...

cool stuff, gonna try it out now
thanks dude!

I reckon the quietness is because people seem to only leave threads when they are unhappy about something or have a problem!! This tool is very useful. A light version is built into many ROMS these days, but this one has a few extras.
I use it on any ROM to:
1. Increase the width of the vertical scroll bar. My phone is in a leather case, so the extra width makes it much easier when using the stylus.
2. Change the default storage location for photos taken with the camera.
Hope it helps you too!

Facebook in Standard-TouchFlo3D

Hey everybody,
i found the following reg-entry and change the value from 1 to 0.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Facebook.Disable
Now i have in the Contact-Form of TouchFlow at the bottom a Facebook Register. And a new Facebook-Option is available if you want to get a user-picture (You can get it from Facebook).
Does anyone know more about this reg-key? Because nothing happens if you choose these new features.

Hi!
Already discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510352&highlight=facebook You could examine the contents of the posted cab files if you would like to find out what it does, more than just changing the reg key you are referring to.
Please use the search features of this forum

[SERVICE MANUALl] LG P500 - service manual

Hi all, when I had tried to improve way how to obtain firmware I occasionally found service manual for P500. I'm not sure if it is ok with forum rules because of "LG internal use only" on pages of manual, but this sheet can be helpful for developers. So till Zecanilis doesn't approve this "case" for me, I will wait. For now, developers who wants this service manual, PM me. I'll provide it for you.
//Edit: Ok, maybe you are all right. If is something wrong with rules, admin can remove link
So... here is the treasure http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AVIVBK/1.0/EN_LG-P500_SVC_ENG_101008.pdf

Very cool, thanks to all the posters !
As for the Hidden Menu Service Code 3845#*500#, I hate to be an Android Nube (I AM an embedded Linux dev), but at what screen do I enter those numbers ?
That LGDP2 software shown in section 5: Could that be used to unlock these phones ?
I'm trying some different queries to see what other manuals can be found. I want whatever's available for my Optimus Chic LG-E720b. Couldn't even find a users manual on the "legitimate" internet when I searched a few days back.
I think that if LG is making these available on the public internet (Albeit not easy to find), there shouldn't be any legal or moral issues with sharing the links or docs.

There are many more manuals and softwares up there to be found by constructing queries such as this one I used to find my E720b:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/sw_manual_list.jsp?model=LGE720B&suffix=ATMOBK
The results should be clickable HTML I'd think, but for whatever reason they aren't for me, so I have to manually find the URLs I want.
Is there a link somewhere that works better for searching ?
Service manual for E720b says there's an "Engineer Menu" accessed by 277634#*#
but that did nothing on my Chic.
I modified the One code: 3845#*500# to 3845#*720# and that worked fine.
