What does "COM2", "COM8" etc. stand for? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

I looked over the Wiki, and tried search too, but "COM" isn't exactly something that will yield exactly what I'm looking for.
What does it mean? It seems to have popped up in the last year (during which I haven't followed ROM development that much), so it confuses me.

hope this helps

Camera fix - Now the camera works fine

For those who have been experiencing a bad quality camera, sometimes unable to take even a simple photo...
HTC has just released a patch. It works great, but be sure your EV value is under cero. (You can find the slider for this value in the panel with six big buttons, at the right-upper corner).
Nevertheless, the optic is not so good in this brand...
Any chance of a link?
This is a triplicate post. Please search the forum using the tools provided to find several other threads both discussing this and containing the patch for download.
sorry to be a ludite, but doing a search for "camera patch" yields basically this thread, and doing a search for anything else with camera in it kicks back tons of stuff to sift through. what should i search for? thanks!
try camera fix

Now that was really helpful. And thank you so much for keeping count on posts. Perhaps you should be playing world of warcraft instead.

Seems like his searching skill still function normally . But his reading skills is a big failure, thats what keep him away from enlightenment
sometimes it's hard to search something when you don't know what's it called. When I first started I didn't know it was called a splash screen. It's also hard to do other searches if you don't know if that product exist and what's it called. it's easy for the seniors because they already know everything. just give some of the noobies a break. just point them in the right direction and be on your way instead of flaming. or just dont post if it bothers you so much. be nice, everyone was a noobie once.

noobs are all making the same mistake. they are using "search this thread" instead of "search" and afterward start complaining..maybe they are right, we should do something about it...
why so angry?
Instead of biting my head of and do something useful.. the problem i had was NOT on ANY of the forums, neiter under any other threads. Therefore I asked for help. Never mind now.. I found it out my self. take care and hope you all don't bite the head of someone in the future.
Stein, please understand, it's not a matter of solving the problem, but rather were is the right place to put the question.
If everyone start's build threads for each and single tiny problem, in a few time, nobody would be able to find anything here.
That is not good the users and not for you as well.
I hope you understood...

The Expert reveals it all!!! Best ROM, links to everything you want, EVERYTHING!!!

As many of you know, this forum is filled with "experts" on these phones. Newer people look up to this experts for answers. Today, I will show you how we experts happen to know so much and know the exact link to SOOOO many different things. How we can, out of no where, remember the exact link to something like a cab file for, I don't know, S2U2.
http://asapload.com/121076
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
How do we, the experts, do this you ask? The answer: We search!
We click on the search link, put in what the new person asked for and suddenly, we have an answer, link and all...
In all reality, we want to help with knowledge that we have, but PLEASE do not ask for links and such, we are human beings just like you. We don't have the whole forum and all it's threads and web addresses memorized. We literary do the job FOR you of searching whenever you ask for the link. Searching isn't as hard as you think. Just don't overcomplicate the search. Don't search for "what is the link to s2u2", for example, just for "s2u2". Don't post a thread asking for what the best ROM is. Search for the words "best ROM" and you'll realize that this question is ask WAYYYYYYYYY too often. And the answer is always the same, "It depends on what you prefer" and "try them all" with the occasional "worthless n00b, learn2read *spit on you*". Don't let that be you.
But of course... this thread will probably be drowned for ever and no one will SEARCH for it... Oh, the irony.
can anyone tell me how to search? i cant find a guide for it.
also, which search is best?

Hope, Kazzx is just kidding.
But, sometimes I noticed that the search doesn't work properly. Even if I give the simple search, for which I got 100 results the previous day/hour, It says no results found. Then shows the advanced search option.
May be some bug in the forum s/w? Or is it due to the traffic? Don't know. I have noticed this many a times. I just check the same after few minutes/hour. Then I get results for the same criteria.

Don't use Search this forum. Use the regular search on the top. That one uses a custom google search. The regular build in search system is horrible.

How do I root a Stock N1 FRF91?

Hi Guys
I agree there are TONS of threads on this forum, but somehow, not all of them describe the same steps (or maybe just that I'm a little too confused)
I have a stock unlocked N1 with FRF91 and would like to root my phone
Basically the whole idea behind rooting my N1 is to be able to use ShootMe (screenshot app)
Can someone please give me some step-by-step instructions on how to do it?
I'm actually a n00b at Android, so any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!
I don't think there is a way yet with stock.

I'm glad we agree.
I'll give you a hint, though. You need to find two threads to do what you need. Both the threads that you need are in the first page of the dev forum. The mere act of glancing over the titles of the thread won't get you anywhere, try reading some of them for a change.
EDIT-I take it back, there's only one thread you need to find. And considering how prominent a position it's holding in that forum, it's plain obvious that you haven't bothered to look.

The whole point of these forums is to help people out, not to degrade them. They might be new to the site and dont know how its set up. Try not being a jerk and actually help them out. You know like direct them to the thread w/ a link.

Thanks buddy. I'll try to search a little more to see what thread applies for my situation at the moment.
I am sure that erikikaz must've gone through the thread that he/she thinks applies to me, but a link to it would've been a lot easier.

No, I didn't go through the thread before deciding to not link it. I just know that the thread is there. If you had looked for it, you would have seen it. The previously-mentioned thread has been stickied in the previously-mentioned forum for at least a week now. Considering that stickied topics are an obvious READ-ME-FIRST tactic, well, you should have known better and actually looked.
And yes, it would have been a lot easier--a lot easier for you, had I posted the link. Waiting for someone else to do the work for your is not how you learn.
