You wouldn't have to duplicate threads if you search.
I think it will be a great idea if we can put SOME topics as stickies, but not too much.
I also would be very pleased if we can have a moderator that would be real "active" on the forum, in other words, that deletes topics from one-time-posters with questions that are asked about 1000 times. That will keep the forum(s) a bit cleaner and better to search.
If I search for TomTom or Rom Upgrade now, I will get a lot of search results, but the pain in the ass is that about half of the results are questions of one-time-posters/noobs that didnt use the search function.
Also I get a lot of PM's with noob questions from people that have 0 posts and are not active on the forum(s), but I think a lot of members here have the same problem. I am always willing to help, but for now I stopped replying to simple questions from people that have 0 posts, just because I know that all the answers are in the forum, so you will come to the conclusion that they didn't use the search function at all.
And no....I dont wanna volunteer as mod

The simple answer would be use (and update) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard When I had a universal it was always my first port of call at the begining
Problem with this is that someone will write a post on how to open a can of coke. What qualifies this as a tutorial? If someone pms me asking for it to be made sticky, I'll see how the thread grows, and if the community are finding it truly helpful, I'll make it sticky. However, then we'll end up being overwhelmed with 3pages of stickies even before you get to current posts.
My idea, which I proposed to the mods, is first to detail your post titles, eg
[new release] VJNubilous - makes you last all night
[tutorial] Stamina - Desensitising techniques pros/cons

This makes them stand out and easier to search for.
However, a longer term solution is to have a dedicated Tutorial forum etc.
But again, we have the wiki, and that's a better place for that kind of stuff. The onus is on the original poster to realise his post is useful and put it on the wiki - but anyone can edit the wiki, so everyone should

i posted 3 times on this forum noone ever answered - even though i know that these topics were discussed. Of course everyone here YELLS - YOU ARE A NEWBIE go search the forum - the search brings up 1000s of post that would take 10 days to read and find what anyone needs....
This forum will be much better with stickies - way better.
For example right now i am sitting and trying to find a way to install properly Windows Lite on my phone and i know that posting for help will be useless.... so i emailed directly to the creator of those skins.
But if there was a sticky - that would help a lot....
Just my 2 cents

I am a newbie here, I appreciate the work everyone has done here too. I am also a bit knowlegeble on other stuffs and i am also a memebr of other forums. from experience. it would help alot if there is a tutorial section. example, xbox-scene.com there is a dedicated place for tutorials and they really broke all aspects of everything that has to be with the xbox. Please can the moderators and human gods that make this site tick please have mercy on us. Im sure that there are also alot of people here, that will help to get this thing done in no time.
Thanks again for every thing.

Like Vijay said, instead of stickies we have the Wiki, thats much much better then a sticky will ever be.
p.s. I replied to one of your topics (ringtone help), the reason that you dont have reply's on your other topics is maybe because nobody knows the answer?
The WiKi pages are THE place for Tutorials.
And it saves us mods a lot of work (I have a life next to this too).

and the wiki is there but not well maintained at the moment has some info but not a lot >>> but work in progress take time lord i know i work my reg job 16 + hrs a day
but a sugjestion of a more detailed thread break down
would be nice
hey just got a tilt. dont really know how to change everything yet. was wondering if anyone can get me started in changing the skin to that black one that shows weather n stuff. please help thanks!
Welcome to the Wonderful world of Xda-Developers. I must apologize that we cannot respond to requests as Open-ended and generic as yours. Please feel free to search and read the Sticky Threads at the top of the Kaiser Forums. Also you should search for and check out GWENI. You will find it a valuable resource.
best way to figure your phone out is go through every menu and every option and every program... then hop on here for tips/tricks.
forum 101: read before posting
Hi Guys
i need your help i just bought an HTC Diamond yesterday and i am dissapointed, the device has a number of issues 1 is that the touch flo is not smooth and there is about 3 to 5 secs lag time, second is that the battery life is crap. anyways i read on the net that an updated ROM can fix these issues, the current ROM VERSION i am using is 1.35.456.3 WWE, please let me know if there are newer ROM versions and where i can download them,p.s. will ROM upgrade actually fix the battery life issues as well as memory leak. I really hope that the touch pro doesn't have all these issues.
This isn't the correct forum. If you had actually read the rules you agreed to when you signed up, you might have noticed that one said SEARCH BEFORE YOU POST! So if you had done this, you would have found what you're looking for.
Normally, under these circumstances, I would direct you there, but seeing as it's called Diamond ROM Development, I'll let you find it yourself
you can find all your answers in my signature link
to answer your question without the entire search first part:
1. yes there is a newer one
2. look in the diamond development rom section

Has it ever occured to you that one might be in a hurry to solve a big issue, if you can't help a new comer and direct them corrctly then u should keep your comments to your self. I mean we are humans and we all make mistakes but that doesn't mean you come out and bite people's heads off. Thats the problem with the world today instead of stopping and helping u choose to be agressive and blame them, anyways i am happy to say that other more thoughtful members of this forum helped me. Thanks..
Well, I don't really want to flame your posts but Rorydaredkign is right maybe not the right way to say it
The information you seek are just 2 clicks away from the button "new topic" and a little search might help find anything you need but obviously you did not take a bit of your time to browse the forum...
As a new comer, do not take anything for granted!
@original poster
If you can get 1.37 to load up and apply some of the settings in the Diamond Tweaks sticky you will find things a lot better.
I would stay away from tweak number two in that thread though as most people have found it renders their handset inoperable and have to hard reset. However, as you will have to hard-reset to upgrade anyway you might want to give it a go.
I agree with you about the aggression. I understand the power of search but when you're new, a string of posts telling you to use the search, when it would have been quicker to answer the question, is unnecessary - and not really community spirited.
Sorry to flame, but in about 3 weeks, this forum has degenerated from a place of discussion to a place where noobs just ask and don't search. And thats slightly annoying.
But, I'll say no more.

And what makes you not a noob are countless posts like the one above which have elevated you to "Senior Member". Congratulations on your achievement.

Well for one, I know how to search
And the thing is, like I said, normally I would search myself, then post a link, but when there's an actual forum called Diamond ROM Development, I couldn't be ****ed.
And you say its posts like this which have made me senior, but you're wrong.
Granted, I tell people to search, and I should probably just say nothing, but before, people have told me off for describing in detail something which can be found by a 2 word search or in the wiki.
So don't just think I go round telling people they're noobs, I don't usually, But here I have.
Rory
Peace, people! This forum isn't the right place for this kind of discussions
ok guys since i started this i will make an attempt to end it,
"rorydaredkign"- i understand ur frustration and i am sure your senior member due to more positive reasons than knowing how to search, but it is wrong to bite people's heads of just because they do not know something even though it is two clicks or one click away, i mean take an example ur in a new place u have never been and when u ask for directions people bit ur head off and tell u why not get a map. You should put ur self in my shoes, i just purchased the diamond its expensive and its not working propoerly so i was freaking out and was trying to get help as quickly as possible, if i had time on my hand i would sit and search and go through the whole forum. There is no need to go around calling people names we are all mature here and name calling is something we all left back in junior school, by you going around the forum and calling people noobs just displays u as an unprofessional character, This forum is set up so that people everywhere can assist each other and share the knowledge, so please lets burry this hatchet and try our level best to maintain strong good community. Let us leave this issue behind us and move on with what is really important. Not that there is a need to applogise but i feel i should applogise for asking a question when i could have searched and found what i was looking for. Having said that i still enjoy this forum i think its fantastic and there is alot to learn from everyone here, thanks to everyone for their contribution.
Hey all,
This is my first post on here so be gentle please!
I just got a touch Diamond and i love it, My boss got the new iphone and he has all those apps where u press a button and it fills with beer or a chick comes out and washes the inside of the screen. What i am wondering is, Is there any like those for the Diamond? Or could any of you very kind developers hack one or make one that would work?
I mainly want the one where the chick comes out an cleans my screen coz im a perv!!
Thanks in advance!
I have seen pretty much everything else from the iphone come over to our phones so I'm sure it is out there somewhere (cannot say that I have seen it yet though)
i know its early days at the mo, so i dont mind waiting for this stuff but if anyone has or does see anything like these two apps for the Diamond then id really be interested !

really, really very important subject and posted not in "diamond", no.....it has to be started in "ROM development"...keep spamming! keep pushing the real important stuff to the 2nd and 3rd pages with yr spam. please read the rules, read a few posts, understand the way this forum is build and only than post. no, there is no development of beer/popcorn gifs/effects here ! iPhone needs this kind of stuff to be appealing and to make ppl forget that it is not coming even close to the the apps of diamond. yes, judging by his size he can be good at making popcorn!
where are the mods? where?

He's right guys, this isnt the place to post or ask for this kind of Icrap.
If you want to post about such stuff,go to diamond general forum. And keep this place ONLY for ROM development. thank you.

Post in the right place or.... all your base are belong to us.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
that is all.
Mod.. please move this outta here. And feel free to delete this this comment also.
@mightycaz:
Thats no app. Thats a video in fullscreen. Even the Today-Screen is faked.
You start the video, then 7 seconds it shows the Today-Screen, then it fills in the Beer. Same with the naked girl...
sorry guy
.... and pls move this thread!
There is a post in the this topic about a lightsaber app that uses the acceleromitor (SP?), and i noticed none of you guys had gone in there to flame the guy who made that post!
Surely these are the same kind of things, The beer app isnt a video. As i said in my fist post my boss has the iphone an that app an it's no video, it moves as you move you're phone around.
If you have a problem with where a post is put then all you had to do was alert a mod or ask for it to be moved not go an Epeen mission. I signed up to these forums because ive been reading through them for about 2 years lookin for advice or cool apps for my older PDA's that ive had an this didnt seem like the kind of place where people were arse's for no reason!
I guess i was wrong.
There is a post in the this topic about a light saber app that uses the acceleromitor (SP?),

no, the post is in the "diamond" section not "diamond rom development"
the guy posted where this kind of things should be posted and he posted an application not questions about some hypothetical, nonexistent applications.
the space in this forum and in the first page specialy is "expensive".
ppl are watching posts regarding ROMs and important stuff related to diamond. each time a noob start a thread like yrs he pushes the really important stuff to the next pages.
what's so difficult to understand and to accept? why argue?!
nobody asked from you explanations or apologies. all we are asking you is to stop. come and check the forum from time to time and if there will be such an application you'll see it posted exactly like the saber....got it?
one thing more...stop asking here stuff that you see on iPhone...this is a diamond forum and we don't really love the "i" word.
now, are we OK? should i explain it to you again? with simpler words? should i bring here a few more members to ask you nicely to "let it go"????
Thank you for helping us keep this forum clean and please don't slam the door!
P.S.
congrats to your boss for his fine taste and choice of PDA!

Well, that's cool. The first time...
So you got flamed, so what?! the point of that is you have to learn from it. and if you have read these forums for two years you should know by now to post in the correct thread and the correct forum for your questions or needed advice. Everyone here is willing to point you in the right direction but some people react different to wrong posts etc.. but hey,eveybody is different and also you can have a bad day or be cranky,so dont be sad about it, just go to the right forum and thread and someone will help u if they can. keep the peace. greetings
I want the one where a girl actually apears out of nothing Cleans the drewl from my chin, then from my phone and then magicly makes a thread move to different forums.
That would be kewl.
I've taken a look at some of the apps.
They got one mayor Plus.
They look good.
But most of them aren' t that functional. (from what i've seen)
But that might also change.
Chapeau Steve Jobs, for bringing out this SDk that will allow for all these great apps that most consumers seem to want.
Is there a Remote Desktop app for the Iphone BTW?
I like general ChitChat.
As long as it stays just that Chit Chat.
Hi i'm a complete noob who wishs to run android and windows. I beleive this is possible but not sure if its possible with the rom i have which is windows 6.5

Not a good first post for a newcomer . This is a library of information, not " help me make my phone cool " tech support. If you want help and to make friends here, please use the search function, read the available information, then come back with specicific questions on things that you do not understand and other members will be glad to help you out.
All the information you need is here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
Hi decon7,
thanks for replying to my post and hopefully pointing me in the right direction. i realise that all forums are libraries of information but at the same time have the facility to ask and answer questions.
I think you have misunderstood the reason for wanting to run android on my phone as it's certainly not to "help make my my phone look cool". I am merely looking for a better and more functional OS.
Also before sending this post I'd searched this forum for many hours looking for answers to my questions. It seems the issue is incredibly complex and the info becomes out of date very quickly so in the hope that someone might be able to give me some simple answers i posted a few questions. i'm sorry if this has offended the etiquette of this board or just yourself.
thanks again for the reply

Yeah looks like someone could do some overhauling on the Android/Kaiser Wiki.
I don't know much about it either.
