Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.
thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

But that was pretty deep info lol. It's like you get chocolate and you taste it to see if it's good or not then eat the whole thing in one bite after you're done and then you go to get more chocolate. lol.

I knew this site had underlying agenda...MALWARE COOKED INTO THE ROMS???
5 cents per ROM install
kinda like the people who release XP and Vista .ISO's with Malware preloaded so its untraceable
I knew a guy that was getting $1 an install and made close to $100,000

Psssh. This site is like drugs. Too addicting. But unlike drugs you can't not be addicted to it o.o
Here's a tip- MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE FORUMS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NOT SOME OTHER FORUM.
you can tell i've made this mistake before.

Uhh, I consider that a feature. It's called being able to easily navigate thru wemails & accounts without having to touch the tiny folder drop down when one handed.
It also switches between accounts if you're in the account main page.
BTW, until you have a tenth of the helpful posts & tools created & explained by Alex, I'd shut your F'ing Cannoli hole.

Oh I know what you're thinking, but you're absolutely wrong
Before signing on here, I've just finished 5 years as an IT Manager/ interim Director, where I built 3 datacenters. I've decided that 5 years was enough for me, and I'm now on sabbatical.
I've been with my fiancee for 7 years and I *CHOOSE* to spend my time helping others on this forum.
edit - That's the reason why I take no offense to your posts as everyone is in a different stage within their life and each of those stages has a completely different outlook. I also remember when I was 19 and living in NYC, and I probably would have responded just like you back then
Oh no! Now the tag team is here. You guys do realize your arguing with a kid right?
you also realize that this tread is being watched i guess what ? WE BAN CHILDREN TO! THAT IS if they misbehave
seriously calm down, or as you signature says;

Can we set up a iphone development page set as hawever would like not to acknowledge its existance it is here. and should be looked at like any other device (palms remember lol)
I believe from a "legal" standpoint actually talking and sharing ideas about developing for the iPhone is against the SDK.
Have you not noticed that this is an "HTC" forum. Since HTC don't make the iPhone, and since the iPhone doesn't run WM, there is absolutely no chance.
The Palm devices here are manufactured by HTC.

Idiotic? like it or not there are other smartphones out there and it's just ignorance like that has kept the WM platform from developing, neither devices are perfect but maybe sumone here can think I wonder if that will work on WM and vice-verca, sure how many threads is there about looking the likes of a simple thing like the keyboard being ported or coppied over to WM

This forum is called "XDA-Developers" for a reason. It is dedicated to HTC devices, which at the time the forum was set up were only released under the XDA brand.
The two platforms are completely different, and share no common ground.
People may want their HTC device to look like an iPhone, but that doesn't mean the site is going to dedicate space and bandwidth to the iPhone it self.

As the mod has already stated, this is a HTC forum. Any discussion aside from that manufacture is going to be off topic. If you feel compelled to discus iPhoney, there are other venues to do so. I too think it is idiotic to request the mods to add a board here for iPhoney discussion.

Well you've seen the answer.
But a therapy group, to convert might be a good idea.
But truth is on XDA it won't take long before more and more objections get it. Just because it's against the cause.
There's also no sense of discussing it.
Even a fun thread could get ugly in no time and we wouldn't want that now.
I have been hearing a lot about 2.0 and was wondering if it was goin to come to the HTC Dream, or only to new phones with the droid platform. Really I was only interested in the new Maps with the navigation integrated into it.
wow fail for 3 reasons
1. WRONG SECTION
2. IF YOU PAYED ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU'D KNOW THE STATUS OF 2.0
3. READ!!! MAPS/NAVIGATION ALREADY WORKS ON DONUT
hehe that was fun

w0w the amount of noobs we get and have here is rediculous, I'm mean really this site needs some restructuring. New moderators/admins. I mean honestly this is getting out of hand, and automatic registration needs to be disabled and the people who are registering need to be reviewed, it would be hard to review the new members if there is a lot of registrations in one day. But this site should think about starting a sister site, like www(dot)android-developers(dot).com
Lol. Well, this made me laugh,
But don't gotta mutilate the poor boy now.
dang you pwned him lol

Yea sorry I dont sit in my gamer chair with two cell phones taped to my junk so i can get the full effect of "vibrating calls". I have a real job and dont have time to sit around forums all day to get my rocks off with new developments. I just want navigation on my maps and the easiest way to do it. Thanks anyway.

all you had to do was go on the first page of the android development section and you would've found it in a jiffy (yeah i said jiffy). and the search button actually helps you find stuff. learn to use it or you'll get torn a new one every time you make a stupid useless thread like this one. good day.

not to be mean or anything but i wouldn't have seen this if he didn't make a thread about it since i don't read the tutorial threads. not everyone lives 24/7 on the forum and knows every post thats in every thread and anyone has the right to make their own thread. eventually this will get burried 10 pages deep. still it's pretty cool that the vogue is making the "news" but kinda crappy that there is no mention of dzo's great work getting android as functional as it is. honestly if xda had a developer of the year award dzo would win.

He even mentioned 15k views for crobs thread when DZO is around a million. Talk about writing a story out of your ass I couldn't believe it was a real wired article.

Thats why when the writer tried getting me to give input for the story, I didnt email her back because I had nothing to do with porting android to the vogue.

I mean don't get me wrong, Crobs helped a bunch of people out with that tutorial, and there's nothing wrong with interviewing a USER of the port. He should have done like you say, talk about his / your contribution, but also definitely what DZO did... not just brush it off like it's nothing - Like he just went to google.com and downloaded androidforvogue.cab and installed!!
Obviously this writer wasn't too bright / didn't do a shred of research before writing the article. Oh well, anyone who actually looks into this knows the real story!
Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha
