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:

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:

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?

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.
hahaha
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!

I've just done a review of the HTC Kaiser (O2 XDA Stellar)
Looking for some feedback - What else should I include? Any ideas to help flesh it out a little? Anything you don't agree with?

Big thanks to this site as it has made using my Kaiser an enjoyable experience!!!

Interesting!
One thing you might like to add (and know yourself) is that the latest version of Google Maps should allow enough time to get a GPS fix from a cold start, without the need for any other apps. It works fine for me anyway.

Just tried using G-maps here for the first time, normally use Garmin.
Very impressed, as you say, G-Maps does not seem to utilise Quick-GPS for a fast lock but once locked, it is totally weird to watch a photographic image of the roads you are on, even if they are a couple of years old (I can live with that!!).

Wow, man, Really what could you have read if you can't find these answers? They are all here. They are all listed in google. Hell I just did a google search for; tilt 6.1 update and came up 1st to this site..... http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=tilt+6.1+update
That said;
1. If I was you, I would just install the ATT rom for your phone. No hassels, and since you have a hard time figuring stuff out on our own there ain't much to worry about. Get it here. http://www.htc.com/us/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=67&cat=all
You want the : AT&T Tilt Update - Version 3.57.502.2
This will run Manilla 2d without any issues that I have seen.
2. Other than that man you are on your own. What applications are must haves is a personal choice. What I must have and what you must have are really two different things.
3. As for flash 7 I just use skyfire. It plays everything. Google it and sign up. Its really just that easy.
4. I might have suggested a rom or two for ya, but you don't even list if your phone is unlocked which leads me to believe that it isn't, at least not by your hands, so I steared clear of the thought
Good Luck. Do alot more reading. Alot, and then read it all again.
thnx for the reply in the link of yours i cant find a cab or download file i have found one today but i need to connect it with my pc which crashed last week so i will do it somewhere today on work
skyfire is only for usa and i live in europe
i don't think its unlocked at least not by me
Hi,
did anybody heard about a tuning utility
"diamond.cab"
to increase the speed of the Kaiser?
I just got if from a friend, have not tried it yet, want to ask 1st because my information from this forum is that so far overclocking is not possible on the Kaiser and I do not belive in Voodoo ...

Let us know how it works!
I was hoping to get some feedback whether anybody is knowing about this cab file before I start ruin my Kaiser ...
I have seen it it running last week on my friends Kaiser (from the US) and he told me that this piecs of software is speeding things up. But it was during a exhbition for only a couple of seconds and than there was no more time for me to have a closer look. Now I got it but I am not quite sure whether I should dare to to give it a try.

Why don't you share the file and let the others try?
If you are worried to try that cab out, why don't you share the cab to this community. Maybe there will be some of us who's gonna try it
Here it is, I was not sure whether I should poste a file right away and get 97 flames because this is known allready (and I must confess that I have not expected that this could be a new information to the community) ..., so therefore I was trying to ask 1st
Claus
PS: Another reason was and is also that I want to avoid making a program public what the developer does not want because it is in an early stage or so, because I have seen discussions that developers stopped their work because some internal beta testers shared the program with the public

I have DL it so will try out soon and report back.

I tried it out and i dont know if it is working or not. I will get back with some updates. I am playing with the screen sensitivity right now. Some of the options wont work..like with the g-sensor.
unfortunately it does not set any reg-entries which we could interpret
I extracted the .exe (which is the only thing in this cab)... don't know what it does ...
if you don't want to install, this is the .exe from cab file
www.trianglepowers.com/
Sorry for the trouble I created, just tested the software and found easily the link of the source.
My friend made it very strange and told me he got this "secret" program at a "corner" from a Chinese guy and that it would increase the clock speed.
From the web site what I understood on the fly is that it is basicaly setting some regestries. Pritty much the same as the dedicated Kaiser Tweak or Schaps Advanced config can do (but those ones are better)
Sorry guys I have not found "Pandoras Box" to speed up the Kaiser

We on XDA are not allowed to talk about maps and any thing else like POI to do with TOMTOM it is classed as Warez and Warez is not allowed so i suggest you go to the above links.
Or give it a good GOOGLE thats what i did and i learnt everything there is to know about TOMTOM AND IGO 8. ON A PPC

Basically it's pretty simple - The tytn 2 usually does not come with tomtom, if you want it you should buy it.
For the versions that come with it, the supplied map is a demo, and you will still have to buy the maps too. That's what's discussed in the thread above.
and its extremely hard to find the official maps for TTN7
