After my third Hermes breaking on me (although this last one was actually my fault) I have decided to switch over to an Iphone for awhile. Does anyone know of any good websites for information on Iphone mods? Thanks for any help.
why phone
oops bad word on this forum matey iphone? whats one of those?
Phones: Orange HTC Touch Diamond
Rom: 1.93.405.1 WWE
Rom Date : 21/09/08.
Radio: 1.20 OliNex.
Ext Rom :SwiftBL Diamond V7.0 Full (16 mb Pagepool)
HSPL : 1.40 OliNex.
Diamond SIM/CID/Security Unlocker.
Orange SPV M3100 ( Hermes 100 )
Rom : S64_WM_6.1_TouchFlo2D
Rom Date : 22/09/08.
Radio : 1.56.70.11
HSPL : 1.40 Olipro.
Hermes SIM/CID/Security Unlocker.
I'm actually enjoying it so far. I'm not quite as tech savy as some of you out there so it works just fine for me. Has most of the options I want and i didnt have to throw a bunch of tweaks at it to get them (yet anyway). As long as it doesn't break like my other three hermes' i'll be fine with it (even though i sorta broke the last one, it was already on it's way out with keys not responding). I'll give HTC a year or two to work out some of their issues and try an HTC phone out again then.

Check this www.iphonetopsites.com or alternatively google for "Iphone Sites"
EDIT: -On reflection maybe i should have ignored this post this is after all a WM site lol
hackint0sh.org, in my mind, is the equivalent to iPhone's XDA-Developers. I haven't spent a ton of time on the site, but there's a lot of good info there.
Wrong forum to ask mate
Here is an HTC only devices forum
And a lot of users have no good opinions about iphoney....
Anyway good luck

That's why it's in the off-topic forum... Right place to ask, as lots of people on here are interested in pocket PC's and not just HTC devices. I don't JUST like HTC products, but in generalized forums you don't find nearly as much information about each device.
Thank you for the replies. Sorry to cause such a commotion, I really liked the support and friendliness (up until now anyway) of these boards and I was hoping to find that for my Iphone somewhere...

The issue is, about 99% of the users here don't care about the iPhone, which I'm sure you already know, but you can't tell me you expected anything different.

Yeah, I mean, why would he ever expect people on this forum to try to help him out even if it's not something they love? The issue is that the people who don't like the iPhone feel the need to force their opinions down others' throats, even when a simple question is asked in the correct forum. The original poster was 0% in the wrong here, all he wanted was the same support for his new phone. It's like everyone has told me since I've come here, if your post doesn't contribute to the forum, why are you posting? Do I love the iPhone? No. Would I ever buy one for myself? Hell no. Am I going to bash a kid for asking where to get support for his? No, I'll share what information I have and move on. I feel like your post is just condoning flaming people that have a different view than yours and saying it's okay to do... It's not.
Edit: Realized mod needed to move the thread, so the OP was 5% in the wrong... Now he's all set.

My first part was going to mention the moving of the thread, but I see you've noticed it. The point of the statement is, there are randomly iPhone threads that pop up here and there, and nobody wants to help with them, since it's the competition. My reply was not an open invitation for rude comments, just simply putting, if you ask a WM community about an iPhone, don't expect 100% help and participation like the rest of the WM threads.

The Samsung Omnia thread doesn't look right in an HTC forum, nor do the many threads of off-topic discussing the bible, or even the thread the guy made for his 2 year old daughter who's going through a really rough time... That's why it's the off-topic section, where you can find help for things other than HTC phones. Am I losing my mind, or is that the entire reason the creators of XDA-Dev came up with this section? I don't know about you, but I wanted to help the guy regardless of him owning an Apple product over HTC, that's why I posted relevant and useful information. Apparently people aren't here "just to help" like I originally thought this forum was about, they're here "just to help those who like our brand"... I missed the fine print.
i think you guys are blowing this out of proportion its really not a big deal...the OP got the info he wanted (along with some joshing) and thats about it...

I just don't like the selective discrimination here, it's okay to not help someone because it's an iPhone, but if someone comes asking for help with a Fuze unhelpful posts are frowned upon? The attitude of "you can't expect better" is one that holds the forum down, let's just try to be more helpful no matter what the topic.

Yeah I saw that, I think it's pretty sad... 6th graders have nothing better to do than try to put down things they feel threatened by. As I said I'm not a fan of the iPhone myself, but it's a good phone, and once some bugs are worked out (HTC never has bugs, right?) it'll definitely compete with the best. Also, when an iPhone has a problem you take it to an Apple store and they replace it at the Genius Bar with no problems if it's something they can't fix. If your Touch Pro has a problem? Get ready to ship it out and wait 2 weeks. Yellow spots on screens, fuzziness, not nearly as crisp as the Euro version's screen... Those are problems we've seen out of the box in the first week of the US version, and luckily they show up quick so they can be returned to the retailer. If you have problems with it in a month? Well, I hope you have a backup.

Ok I understand your point now mate
So you will understand mine also, it´s no matter of how good or bad is the iphone, it´s the fact that we are on an HTC devices forum.
Is like if I go to the Toyota forum and post how wonderfull is my Ford or if someone can recommend me a part.
HTC has a lot of bugs also but thanks to this fantastic HTC forum we can have and share so many ROM´s software and knowledge!
By the way HTC HD would really beat Iphone

I'm so glad to know you became moderator! Because, as far as I've seen, the mods let discussions continue about other phones. They say they won't make a sub-forum for them, which makes sense, but discussion in off-topic about other phones (as you can see there are many threads about the Omnia in off-topic) are permitted. So until you get a little badge that says "moderator" or "administrator", I don't see why you feel you have the final say on others asking about different phones. In EVERY SINGLE THREAD that isn't about an HTC device you have to jump in and say why the thread shouldn't be there, yet the moderators who make the decisions allow it to be. Let them run the forum.

i wanna upgrade my kaiser like HTC Touch or I-phone all visual effects like scrolling explorer and contact search etc.
i find a video but i dont know how to do it can anybody help me?
i want exactly this one like on the video

I propose a ban
I propose banning people who post threads like these. Are you serious? Dude, if you don't know how to mod your phone perhaps you should read through the forum and figure it out, and if you have a specific question, then feel free to ask it. Don't just say I don't know how to do it. You obviously are too lazy to figure it out by doing some basic reading.
i searched but i dont know where will i start
Let me guess, you searched one time and gave up? Well, I did one search too: I searched the word "iphone" in thread titles and displayed the results with the most views first: TA DA!!!
First link - "iphone App for WM - LookALike"
EDIT: Link was dead, updated it.
That's a silly suggestion...

We all have a right to opinions even if we disagree. Banning for this sort of thing is silly.
However, I agree they need to do homework and figure out what path they really would like to take before the step off the curb. This one is stepping right into an oncomming bus.
@jayopa86
Welcome to XDA-Dev
Just for guidance:
1
Given you are fairly new to this sort of thing, you will be better served if you post in the Kaiser Forum. (Not Kaiser Upgrading which is largely about ROM Flashing and the more advanced development stuff.)
2
Marm0lade above has given you a page of links (See link in his post) I hope you see how easy it was for him to search and get that page of iphone threads.
3.
Soon we are going to have a new Forum for Members who are Beginners, this will be a good place to post this kind of question.
I am going to move this thread to the regular Kaiser forum.
I may also close the thread in the next day or so, because the answers are there if you care to hunt around. However, if anyone wants to give you helpful, constructive advice about how to go about finding suitable information they can do so in the next few hours.

Most of that doesnt look like an iPhone to me. And I really dont want the main screen of the iPhone, but the way he navigates through all of the menu's and stuff is nice. Is that done through the cube?

Well, to check out Cube info see here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Cube
Mike
for somewhat the same menu interface or some other shell than wm has to offer you can use spb shell 2 (google xda for it)
it gives a nice cube/touch interface wich can be customized also there are alot of programs out there that enhance your phone like camera album,long endkey,big startmeu,s2u2,fff,touch commander and many more i suggest start reading the forum and use the wiki/google search this forum for answers good luck...

The hardest bit will be making a new case, and interfacing a new wide screen, then virtualising Apple OS to run under Windows, it would run like a dog.

are u nuts!!! how wud u like if the table turns on u. i myn thats jus like kids fighting over a lollipop!!
i actually like what is in that video. i know what some of the apps are, like the cube which i have had, but some of the other stuff i havent even seen. that is one good rom if thats what it is. giving a few pointers to a newbie is not going to kill you ;-)
I concur, That video is one I haven't seen before. I noticed the HTC Cube on there. but before he pulled that up he had another screen he was flipping in the same manner. What the heck program is that?
My phones all modded up and such. But that proggy makes me jealous.
i know, ive been searching for the last 40 mins trying to find those applications, im no noob at installing or searching, but theres so much to go through can anyone tell me what progs have been added inc the ones from the today menu. any halp appreciated, all i want to knwo is the names. TIA

Well, if you must know I have been using that user name, (and variations thereof) all over the internet for almost 20 years now. I used to drive an ambulance before I opened my own business. That's where it came from. Still, there is a lot to be learned from reading the stickies & the Wiki. I've seen the following link posted many times, and I feel its far more blunt than what I linked to... http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php At least I showed you that there is hope by reading the information available. Trust me, it could have been much worse. You can easily get flamed here if you ask without reading the Wiki first.

Hey folks! Been lurking for a while and thought it was about time I posted something useful, so I looked around and didn't see anything similar and thought a "recommend me a ROM" thread would be a nice idea.
To start:
Basically I have an MDA Vario III with Rom version 1.56.220.4and Radio version 1.27.12.11 still locked to T mobile. I use my vario for calls regularly, texts even more and quick alot of the Web and walk service (I live in the UK).
I love the look of the HTC interface (with the big digital numbers and easy tabs) and am mostly looking for something a bit snappier that has some inventive features ( like being able to use 8Gig memory cards) built in.
can anyone recommend me a ROM (official or non) that would suit me?
Feel free to ask for recommendations of your own!

Not to make you feel bad, but, what you posted is something redundant and has been discussed many times in the ROM section.
This is another thread that should not exist. If you had searched, you would have seen lots of closed threads about this very topic. ROMs are very subjective, and so is Radio version. You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you.

When it comes to your answer, "You are just going to test every single one that looks interesting to you." Isn't that a little bit harsh? You should remember that not all the users here have all the time in the world to try out every ROM that comes around, people have lifes.
It must be cool to be senior, but to ***** @ everyone who starts a new thread is a little bit too much IMO.

I don't think that I hold myself out as "holier than thou". That being said, look at the URL for this website; xda-developers.com. If you are not willing to do any work yourself, and just want everything handed to you, then you need to leave.
I am by no means a developer, but I do my research before creating stupid/unnecessary threads. Go ahead, look at the threads I started... 7 over 21 months.
theres really nothing wrong with noob questions...we all had them...but if they've been asked over n over again...or people dont search the answers first...thats the problem..how hard is it to search before posting..maybe they have...but if u did deep n not post after searching and lookin at the titles of the first page...i'm sure all these threads wont exist
I absolutely love the pictures in this thread. At least it was worth something....
I have an AT&T Tilt and i wanted to put some stuff on it so if you people have any programs that you would like for me to put on it that would be great. I also have been wondering what an "unlocked" device was. lol thanks.
I also have a 2G Micro SD card FYI
is this a joke?

Scratch that.. Start by taking the initiative to open your eyes and read the threads around you. There is a software forum that maybe you need to look into, because it seems that is your interest. Don't come in here and expect to be spoon fed, I'm fresh out of baby food. The big thing is that there are other threads on the main page that are just like this.

Oh can someone make a cool icon of that spoon. You know, one that is a bit smaller that could be added to a sig.
I'm almost thinking we need to create a new forum section called Kaiser > N00bz...since there are so many self professed noobs who have recently been littering general (or worse) with posts like this.
It is one thing to ask a question that has been asked before...I admit sometimes it is very difficult to weed out the relevant information from a search (even if spending 4 hours reading). It is quite another to post something like this which isn't really even a question....more like a request for spoonfeeding.
I think posts like these need to be deleted upon creation.
this is my first time on this site okay? I dont know what to look for. I saw the general discussion about asking questions so i asked a question. should people who dont have knowledge about these things get pushed away because they arent as smart as some of you?
well...u dont need to be smart to know how to search and read the stickies...if u claim to be a noob...which u stated in the title...chances are that other noobs like u have already asked that question that u may have...so a simple search or read around the forum would give u the general basic knowledge u need
thank you mr. nice person i just dont know what exactly to search for and i didnt know that there were other posts like mine so my bad for "littering" your forums.

hapi... I am not wanting to bash you specifically. This is a problem that has been plaguing this site for quite a while.
First, you must realize that the name of this site is XDA-DEVELOPERS. It is meant for people who have an interest, and hopefully some skill in developing software for XDA devices. At the very least it would indicate some tweaking/hacking skills to existing software.
If you are clueless (and i don't mean that negatively) about any of these things it isn't exactly the place to be posting, even in the general forum.
This is like walking into an auto mechanics convention and screaming out "Hey can someone tell me what a car is and where I can get one?"
However, we are always open to new faces and if you took the time to look around on your own you would probably learn a few things and answer many of your own questions. After a short while you would probably be able to post with a more informed outlook.
In general, this is universal forum ettiquite, not specific to this site.
As a new user, perhaps you could tell us how we might better design this site to help this situation not happen?
Were things not clearly listed?
Were they listed but you just didn't read them?
Did you read them but not understand them?
Did you understand them and just not care?
Did you care and were just lazy?
These are honest questions to help the community understand how we can better server newcomers.
well i came here because i showed my friend my phone and he said here go to this site and look around. so i did and i just had a question and i needed help. i have a desire to learn about this stuff so i can get some nice stuff for my phone but right now i am kind of clueless. so all i wanted was maybe some programs that were on this site that i could download and that you super tekys think would be good for a starter. and some of the thread things were unclear... like i dont understand what they do and stuff..
Come on guys give the guy a break!
The attitude on here is very much RTFM etc. which is fair enough but I wouldn't object to a noob forum either. There is no comprehensive noob guides, its a discussion forum with about 50 peoples different opinions on what you need and inevitably going into too much detail... I specialise in seperating the wheat from the chaff and really for the average joe there's no harm in it being more accessible.
But as others have said in the current state of play all you can do is read. To flash your rom:
1. Install hardspl on your kaiser
2. Find a ROM you like in the rom development section (be aware: Roms with windows mobile 6.1 you need to install a 6.1 Radio ROM too, the process is the same as installing a ROM)
They all come with instructions pretty much, make sure to back everything up first. There are a lot of good applications out there but if you find a good ROM chef for example dutty (there are a lot, I only mention him because I use his roms) they will often have a full fat ROM with a lot of nice applications bundled in.
As for this being a 'pros only' forum, well how do you get new members? I spend plenty of time on hexus.net which is a tech enthusiast forum and there are tonnes of noobs who don't know a graphics card from a hard drive, but there's still plenty of helpful advice.
+1 For the newbie question section though.
And I think going to mediawiki would be beneficial too.

The phrase "general discussion " doesn't mean walk in and ask anything. It means after you have done your reading and research if you have a question that doesn't fit into a specific catagory here , then post it in "general"
You have walked into a graduate physics class and said " teach me science people ." That being said , Check out the wiki here and at htcwiki.com go to the TILT Home page. Go over all your download options and information on those pages. Then come back with specific questions or problems.
You will then find that people here can be incredibly friendly and helpful. Well except for a few of you and you know who you are

The thing is the applications tend to be specific to what you want to do, ROMs are brilliant for improved performance but you really do need to read the bundled information first, it's not as hard as it first looks but if you mess up you could brick your phone.
Applications I frequently use:
- Google Maps (You can use your GPS for free effectively, and even if you can't get a satellite lock it's good at guesstimating your location)
- Quickmenu is start menu replacement that is better in a lot of ways
- Total commander is like windows explorer, (or file explorer) but much more robust and better, generally
- Battery status is a nice application that tells you how much battery you've got left and has some powersaving options
- Opera is better than internet explorer but it's still in beta and is not free
I've also got some games:
- kevtris
- ms pacman
That are good for burning time when I'm bored.

Yes I was serious about a noobz forum. The problem is that many people i think get here via google and just get into a section and don't bother to read anything.
We need to realize that the internet is so common now, it shouldn't be different than real life. You need to know where is the proper place to go for something, and how to ask for it.
As for new members, we welcome them, and after some investment in their own knowledge, they will become productive members.
Alas, there will always be people like you (no offense meant) that will spoonfeed baby yelps like these. However I suspect in a couple of months you too will get tired of it. I always try to help a new user when I can, but not when 0 effort has been made.
Again, I don't mean to bash the OP here, thus my genuine questions about what can be done to help make this more accessible without spoonfeeding. I really think the noobz forum might help and I can't see that trying it out would be a big deal.
uu r not new to the web, r u? read the forum stickies they will answer all ur questions
ok thanks for the help but i gotta go so i appreciate the help and ill try not to be a loser and litter your forums anymore.
and no im not new to the web...

Would also give mods the power to move noob questions to the noob forum i.e. keeping the kaiser general forum clean.
I tend to lurk most of the time anyway waiting for new roms so am not always going out of my way to help noobs but certainly whenever someone asks me a question directly I don't mind answering it.
is there a good camera software that just fixes all the issues with the stock camera on the tilt.
for example, I push camera mode, I can then zoom in and out simply with a remapped button.
also takes the picture when i hit the button, not 3 seconds later.
I have tried all the fixes, Nadavi, etc. NONE fix these issues, which I think are basically all that we want. a simple camera.
The camera has been talked about a LOT on these forums... you should probably search it, but most of the new roms have great camera software built in. I'm more than happy with my tilt's camera. It's a phone with a camera in it, not a camera with a phone in it. Low light pictures are going to suck no matter what, fact of life, get some decent lighting and get some decent pictures. My L26 V9 rom takes less than 1 second after pressing capture to take the pic.

take it easy dude
I have been using Nadavi cab and HTC fix for long time, and the camera takes decent photos...NOT great.. but ok...
The lens's cover is one part of getting bad pictures, as well as the Drivers problem....
this is what you get with the tilt... and if you did a little research before getting it, you probably wouldn't have got that much upset...
I tried cool camera when I first got my Kaiser.. but it did not work... I'm not sure if they have a working version right now for the Kaiser!
I'm sorry for your shock... but that's the fact about the kaiser's camera...

Here is another useless post:
This is what I don't get, people spend hundreds of dollars buying a phone they know nothing about and did no research on ( camera is an extensively well documented problem).
They then join a developers forum, that they know no one on, and know nothing about, and start to whine like a child about a problem that has been talked about 1000 times on the forum ( if they had bothered to do any reading whatsoever ).
Then when a senior member tells them" it is what it is " and it has already been covered 1000 times and that it is against forum rules to start redundant threads, as their fourth post they fire back as above.
You obviously joined to add significant information to the cause and to make lots of new friends. I lurked on this forum for five months, learning and gathering before I ever felt the necessity to post.
Sorry, I just don't get it.

I just have to agree with the newbie. I read about six zillion posts trying to find something out - can you lift a rom off a phone and reflash to another phone from the same carrier without spl (orange uk post).
Not a single 'senior' posted an answer, but post a question that has been covered over 1600 inter related posts and you get this stupid flame response. If you 'seniors' are so smart, why not just post the url with the answer.........

since when do geeks give a **** what people think about them?
And why not just post a url with the answer??? Because this in no way, shape or form encourages people to use the search to find the answer and instead complicates the forum for the people that follow the rules and DO use the search.
So let me get this straight.... You didn't get a reply for your question, which upset you. But when someone who asks something that has been covered (like your question has) and gets flamed for it, this ALSO upsets you? How exactly do YOU want us to reply to redundant threads? Jeez, for someone that has contributed absolutely nothing to the community you sure are picky and demanding.
XDA-DEVELOPERS.COM IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT!

How can you read six zillion posts, you obviously didn't start with the sticky/wiki at the top of the forum. Whole section on dumping roms and whole section on flashing carrier roms, (carrier spl) and cooked roms (Hardspl). The fact that your question was ignored, is a testament to the availability of the answer, not a lack of intelligence by the senior members.
I don't think that it is erroneous to say that 75% of all questions here are answered in the wiki, and another 15% can be answered with a basic search.
What I don't get part deux.
The useless post to complain that " there are too many useless posts to weed through to find an answer to my question."
It is just me? Tell me, I can take it.

I agree with you. I was on this site for a long time before I signed up and more time after before I posted my very first two questions (several days ago). I searched and searched and I must say it was very un-inviting to find multiple 8-16 page threads containing "Security Unlock". I wanted to know what it was and all I found was how to do it and the problems people were having... and some flaming... Anyway, one of my questions was answered and the other ignored. I read almost every post of the 16 page thread and finally found the answer in one single post (the search didn't put me on the right page for some reason).
I know there's a LOT of information on here, but it seems like some pruning needs to be done on posts such as this one commenting on rules and flaming... at least in the more informative threads...

Have you ever loaded KaiserTweak? One of the settings you can 'tweak' is the shutter delay which greatly improved the performance of my camera (it made the camera actually usable!)
The slow autofocus is still an issue for me but I just live with that as it only really has an effect when I am trying to take pictures of my niece and nephew who don't stop moving!
For Once I would like to ask a question on XDA with out getting assaulted or given a dam Google link.
All i ask is that people start to consider the situation when someone asks a question instead of acting like a douchbag
I know for posting this I am probably going to get assaulted again myself for starting this thread or someone will post a smart remark of some sort but I'm ready to combat it.
I like XDA a lot I have learned a lot of thing on this forum I just ask you to be sincere when answering questions.

wow i feel like im in the middle of the first internet newbie rebellion
Let´s say for example you have been on the forum for 6 years and you spend big amount of daily hours on XDA, and everyday for more than 6 years you find the same questions, same "I got an idea" to improve the site!, same "what is the best ROM?, same vote for Android or WM or WP7?, and so on...
Heres the question: How would you deal with that avoiding what you mention on your 1st post?
I am really curious about your answer
Thanks,

True is that ppl don´t want to read and search, all they want is to get their stuff solved immediately, they don´t care about the work involved or any of that, they want it easy, and things are not always like that...

Here: I'm gonna take the flame-bait.
1. Read more than you type. 2 eyeballs, going left to right, and repeat.
2. Repeat no.1
3. I can't emphasis more, repeat no. 1, even after you've already done it.
4. Cleanliness might be next to Godliness, but Politeness is the Prince of Getting-people-to-respond-without-getting-flamed
5. Remember no. 4
6. I can't emphasis more, remember no. 4, even after you've already remembered it.
While I cannot guarantee that you'll get an answer, you'll get a better response. Remember the golden rule:

I completely agree tho about some of the negative responses around the forum lately. As you can see in some of the replies in this thread, I don't understand why five people need to tell someone how idiotic they are for posting in the wrong sub-forum. I mean it seems like some members get sick to their stomach when spotting an out of place thread.
A guy walks in.........ok, he did not walk in, he was already there. One guy says, "I slept with my wife before we were married, did you?". The other guy says, "I don't know; what was her maiden name?".
People just want to be dicks, makes them feel better and somehow they think they gain the respect of the other trolls.

People are glad to help others who are willing to help themselves. Show that you've done your best to find the information you need yourself, tell us what you have already learned and ask the more experienced members to fill in the blanks.
When somebody posts that they need this, or need that without showing that they've made any effort at all, they will largely be ignored. It's far more rewarding to solve an issue yourself using the information available than to be handed it on a plate.

Why am i not surprised that senior members disagree with my statement but i have come to see that they are pretty much one minded/sided kind of like the republicans. In order to get into the real perspective put your self in the opposite persons shoes and see how it feels when you ask someone a simple question but instead you get a parsimonious answer. You probably wont come to light and acknowledge that your wrong sometimes because you are always right.
If you post something please don't post a picture like some kind of child, this is the real world grow up. Were all adults here and I feel I need an adult answer.

Senior members have been in your shoes. You just got your feelings hurt on te internetz....don't take any of it personal, because no one here knows you or is your friend. Plus opening a flame friendly thread such as this makes me have a sneaking suspicion that you may be a llama....
Scent phrum mie fone!
For things that aren't asked too much, people should give an answer other than "google" or "search." But when there are things that fall into one of these categories,
1.If there is a topic that states "READ FIRST FOR INFO", you should probably read it.
2.If it is a common question that is asked a lot. Now you most likely wouldn't know that it is a common question, but the search button is there for a reason.
3.When you're making the topic, it shows you a list of topics that have been made already like your topic.
I'm not saying that people shouldn't help you, but some people expect people to help them instead of researching the issue. For phones like these, you need to do some type of research. And if it is a problem you cannot figure out, you should first use the search button, and if you don't find anything then post a topic.
Yeesh - you know how many multiple posts of OMG MY PHONE IS BRICKED!!!111!!!10101010011111 I find on the Q&A posts and find out if they had just read the other 9 bajillion posts they would've saved themselves a lot of hassle?
Sorry.. but the Search feature is a very much highly under utilized function on forums.
The funny part is when you see two the IDENTICAL posts right on top of each other and you wonder... "Is his phone somehow different then my phone - is it self-aware?"
its the cowards like that who have something very valuable for free in their reach , but demand it getting handed over to them , and then b**ching about getting told to do it urself , nothing is enuff for some of them
u know there are sites that need subscription to access roms ? and they are just copycats ? these lowballers make me sick , being all sassy about something they get for free

I am sure you will understand eventually when you become an active regular user
