We and I say We all need to particaipate in the updating of the wiki.xda-developers.com
Short Version:
Who is willing to build the frame work of the BlueAngel in wiki.xda-developers.com
Long Version:
If you look at:
wiki.xda-developers.com
Its great!! Unless you own a Blueangel.
Well I do!
Personally I am sick of reading the same stuff about fix.bat over and over again.
Personally It has taken me a few weeks to get were I am Now and yes I have been able to find out a lot but it was Painful.
I Still have outstanding questions that were not answered for at the time I asked then they were just plain "Stupid".
A Newbie asking a question based on his limited knowledge.
We still see these questions, also left unanswered.
So as we have all been Newbie's playing with our new toys, should we not help others based on what we have learnt.
I have spent some time looking at that Blueangle and posting a few topics.
What I still have is a collection of How to for the BlueAngle that I feel are wrong if placed in the forum.
These are at the moment finished.
How to: Find out what my device is before upgrading
Goes into GetDeviceData, explains the fact why you only see the device name if opened on the device, ect ect.
How to: Find the correct upgrade ROM for me
Based on the get device info,
goes into how to find the upgrade, understanding the naming of the ship file, checking if it has a password
all based on a real example with real threads
How to: Install a upgrade and what tools to use.
All based on what was found before
all based on a real example with real threads
I am working
How to: Upgrade radio
Also based on the same as above.
One can add to that the Extended rom stuff out of the Rom kitchen.
Now here is my problem.
- I cant do this alone
- I have no Idea about how to do even basic web pages
- My spelling sucks.
So my contributions to this project is:
I have 3 canned inputs and am will to add to them.
So all we need:
1) A Person that understands how to update the wiki.xda-developers.com and thus build a frame work that we all can build on.
2) A place to take about it and make suggestion or corrections
--> which we have in this topic.
3) A starting point
---> being my canned input.
And that reads only as:
Who is willing to build the frame work of the BlueAngel in wiki.xda-developers.com.
Although many people read this forum, and a large number help on answering questions in the forum.
only a few make great posts in the forum, and even less put something in WIKI. Although with the knowledge gathered here I believe this wiki has the potential of being the best reference on the net.
I would be available for help on editing/checking whatever you put in WIKI, if you want me to. Just let me know what you want me to do in detail.
M4io
Thanks.
I understand what you are saying however my main problem is building the frame work.
At the stage of the game I am not even able post a Quote with out getting the Quote text

Click to collapse
See what I mean.
Others can do it, me no way
We can go further on my lack of forum knowelege.
In the past I used to start off by hitting the bold, qoute, ect buttions so that I had a list to cut and paste from.
Now I GROWN and can just mark the text and hit the bold.
See .... I would get so lost trying to link the first page to the next.
You would end up on one of my personal links and your wife would not be amused.
Think the edit / checking is a great option, thanks for that!
but do we have any takers for the frame work part.
Well if this newbie could figure anything out I would help you.
if you will tell me were your want what link, and which new pages you want i can make them for you.
like if you want a blueangel link on the the Faq to a new page BlueAngelFAQ. Questions like that I can handle, but you have to figure out how the framework has to be. And supply the contents of the newpage.
some forum pointers :
quote="username" give you

We need a new Link
BlueAngle
Which points to a new page. (BlueHome)
On that new page we need a photo on the top of a BlueAngell
We Start with one simple sections and have that a Title.
How to:
Under how to 3 links to a postion in a new page (Help01)
How to: Find out what my device is before upgrading
Linked to pointer in that same page (Help01:Findevice)
How to: Find the correct upgrade ROM for me
Linked to pointer in that same page (Help01:Findrom)
How to: Install a upgrade and what tools to use.
Linked to poiner in that same page (Help01:Instal)
I have the file in the same format as I would post here , will that work ?
So in total 2 new pages, home and help.
The help page will have 3 text blockes that can be fopund over the bluehome.
You still with me? and can you set that up and I dump the text in it.
like this?
I saw the link on the home page pointed to a different page than the page that was already there for the blueangel.
now they all point to Blueangel with lowercase 'a'.
... ah, and now m4io else has just created HTC_BlueAngel with capital A.
hope he sees the other page too.
yes, we were doing the same at the same time.
you can delete mine , it has no use now no
and http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BAHowTo should also be deleted
MDAIIIuser : you can edit this page :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
ok done
Now have a look at it I have formting problems
This is wha the first part should look like
In order to change your ROM to a higher or different Language version you need the following information.
1) What is my model Nr?
2) What is the Language Code of my ROM?
3) What is the operator code that my phone was shipped as.
4) What ROM do I have now?
5) What ExtendedRom do I have now?
6) What is my Radio Version
How to find all of this information in one place.
Step 1
Insure that your device is connected to your Desktop....
I get it all on one line.
Next problem
Under that cold you add
this is a qoote A
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so I can work that syntax out?
Next Problem
Can you turn the "?"Link of for C:\XDA-Tools\?GetDeviceData.exe
and change the color to blue, again to work out syntax.
You are cool and I am learning, thanks
Thanks
Help
Ok lost again
Solved the nunber problem and thus created a new one and that is how to stay in the same numbering with text betwwen it.
What I need is a command that will generate a new line and yes I have tried the <new-line> and a few versions of it.
What I need is some color (blue, red)
What I need is getting rid of the "?" links.
Feel free to edit the page in so that I can work the syntax out.
Hey it looks Like s**t but its a start
Thanks!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
have you see the TextFormattingRules?
a newline is three percent signs: %%%
this wiki has no support for colors.
the '?' links mean that you typed a WikiWord, and it has no page yet.
if you don't want it to be a link, add a tilde ( ~ ) before the word.
Have now! Thanks itsme.
Will sombody take a look, do some fixing on the spelling, give me some feed back?
Thanks
2 down 1 to go.
Hey buddie!
I can do some adjustments if you like but I don't know how!!!!
Explain it to me and I'll help!!!

Help
Hi all
I need some help!! with the Wiki Home Page.
1) I would appricate it if somebody would deal with the home page and look at the info that is there, if it is upto date and usefiul
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
2) I would appricate it if that person would add the following sections to that home page:
A) Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki
----> Linked to the content of:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
Yes you need to change the page name But keep the content.
B) Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope I can work on
C) List of know Blue angel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope somebody will work on
D) List of Know Upgrades (Ship.exe)
----> Linked to a blank page that I hope somebody will work on
E) Wiki Development page
----> Linked to a page that has:
--------> Wiki Test Page please read and edit
--------> Wiki Test Page Please do not edit (add your name here)
--------> Wiki Test Page Please do not edit (MDAIIIUser)
My Spelling is poor on a good day, so if the link is spelled wrong just correct it.
3) Will somebody please look at the content of
"Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki"
And correct it for spelling understanding ect.
This is what I have done sofar and as said above the link might change
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
==============
Lets not get in each others hair!
So can Please each of us post what they are going to do on this site.
I will start:
MDAIIIUser Will work on the page Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen and use his test page under devlopment for that.
Thanks for all the help so far
mmm, the aim of WiKi is that EVERYONE can update EVERY page.
so: Go ahead & Good Luck
I think it would be more appropriate to add those sections to the main Blueangel page
i think currently there are some links on the homepage that are too specific.
also some of the himalaya, and wallaby links should be moved to their phone pages.
then on the homepage more a general introduction, to what kind of information about what phones is available on this wiki.
I moved to Himalaya stuuf from the HomePage to the Himalaya page.
I also added a Sitemap link on the homepage, which could be useful

First of thanks for doing a clean up!
Alas I fail to understand how to link a page form the Blueangel Home page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
To the content of another page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelFAQ
When I go into edit of the Blueangel homepage, apart form getting lost, I get
* BlueangelFAQ
Which seems to be the name of the page that it is linked to.
That is all I see, that is all I can understand.
So my problem is that although I have created informtion that I would like to post I just don't know how to:
1) Open and name a page like BA_GettingStarted
2) Link that named page (BA_GettingStarted) from the blueangel home page over the wording
"Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki"
so that the blueangle home page reads like this
BlueangelFAQ
Getting started with my Blueangle on Wiki
List of know Blue angel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc
List of Know Upgrades (Ship.exe)
Blueangel Exteneded Rom Kitchen
Given that info I would be able to add a few other pages without having to beg somebody to do it for me.
Would you please explain this so that I and others can also add infomation to Wiki.
Thanks
that is what a wiki does, make it really simple to link, and create new pages.
you create a link, just by typing the a pagename, with at least TwoLettersCapitalized, or, if your pagename does not have 2 capitalized letters, you can put it between [brackets] to make it a link.
when you type a pagename that does not yet exist, and view the saved page with your new link on it, you will see it with a questionmark next to it. if you click on the question mark, you go to the edit page of your new page.
so 'BlueangelFAQ' is automatically a link, in a wiki.
if you want to give the link a different description than the page name, you can write it like this:
[your description|LinkName]
that is, write between [brackets] your description, and the pagename separated with a vertical bar symbol.
here is a new version of Esmertec Jbed (java manager) 20080428.2.1
1- unzip it
2- install the cab
Besides that a little bit description should help ?
@Aqrab
Thanks for that update it worked a treat for me. I managed to fry my Java client somehow and removed it trying to get Sky Mobile working so this is appreciated as I wasn't entirely sure what I should be looking for.
@aragornol
Are you saying that you know what this is and think a bit more information is required for other readers or that you don't know what it does? If the former, how about you add to the conversation? This has been the third post from you I've read today that has been overtly aggressive and is off-putting to people like me who are new around here.
This version has timezone issue (not important for most of the users). It returns current time with GMT timezone instead of current locale.
I am back to 20080328.3.1 for now.
@ericsson68 don`t want to be offtopic ... but to explain ... it is written in rules that DO search before POSTING ... this is rule which I prefer above all ... I read threads about 5 - 8 hours a day and I`m sure I`m not speaking just for myself that it annoys me very much to see 20 threads or so just about crap that was answered sometimes few times but mostly more than that. I`m not the moderator of this forum but I am surprised that they allow that. I am moderator at few forums myself and I would ban the users that do this. I am not an teen which is full of hatred or discriminates other but to be honest it really annoys me when somebody is able to register and post crap while he can search and find answer quicker. I don`t take this bull**** that someone is in hurry and don`t have time to read. Searching take less then registering and posting a question. Besides that in few generations we will have tons of dumb people who can just ask and aks and ask for things that has been answered ... do you get it ? I simply dislike mess in forums, this makes searching HARD for people that REALLY SEARCH.
according to this program no i don`t know what this does and I bet you are shaking to shoot me down with answer to search it myself. yes i can but that`s another story. When I post something it would be polite to attach description to save everybody`s time.
all i want to do is to have clean forum to make either searching or reading easier. but that without help of others - that will simply ignore such - excuse me - noobs or advise them to search is impossible. And at last but not least this is XDA - Developers. Developers in my opinion (as I am one of them) search first and then when they don`t find and answer then and only then ask ... Maybe I can look like aggressive and arogant in your eyes but hey this doesn`t bother me. As far as I know I cam here and read before asking stupid questions I can say I am "clear" and I didn`t bother anybody`s time with even reading my stupid posts or answering my stupid questions ...
and it`s time to stop this cause i`m heavy offtopic. Just take this as my manifest for the future ... I won`t even say a word to this so you can save your time by replying ...
guys dont fight
aragornol if you dont know what this
its a java manager its will replace your old java manager with this new one
with the new one you can run more java apps or game that not work in the old version
Does it allow you to force a resolution for an application? I have the same problem, mentioned in this thread, IE games appear as a rectangle in the top-left corner of the screen.
Furthermore: does this app run the majority of the java which is supported by the built in javamanager?
Another thought: will this in some sort effect my existing built-in (TAO) java virtual machine ? (Kilobyte virtual machine as it is, more about this).
hello everybody,
its my first post and i'm trying to get help about manging notes. i've looked in other forums, used seach here, and i couln't find what any answer suitable.
the thing is that i use notes for my work a lot, but after a while i get stuck with lots of them that may be useful in the future but not right now. so i woukd like to know if there is a way (software) that would let store them by topic or any other form. i've read that we can't even read them in vista (pwi files).
the note option is great, after acaal you make one and it stores the contact and tima, but afterward you can only store them together.
thank you for your help.

If you have a full MS Offiice installation, check out OneNote. It will let you catagorize and sort to your hearts content. I am using Evernote, which I like it beacuse it is very searchable. You can even search for text in an uploaded image. If you are talking about the call notes, you might want to invest in a CRM program such as ACT.
I hope this helps
It isn't critical or nothin like that, but as a Web Developer i kinda notice little things... Your AJAX quick reply is a nice addition, just adds a TR on the fly, but it should be taken one step further and look at the page (while it is being loaded) and get the ID of the field that holds the post count, then add 1 to it via JS.
If you post in a thread you have already posted in, your new post will show the correct amount of posts, your old post(s) do not update until the entire page is refreshed.
Nothing major, just saw it & figured i'd mention it, as i would want someone to mention it to me.
Hey everyone.
I have recently started developing windows phone apps and have made a simple but interesting game for fun lovers - Hit to win.
It is like-
Hit the corresponding pause button to stop the coloured circle in motion.
You will be awarded points only if the circle stops exactly inside the white region. Try for the perfect score...
It will not be that easy as it seems....Have fun playing it and post your reviews about it.
Also tell me on how i can improve my app...
I am a new user so not allowed to post urls here,so
Type hit to win in the search option in windowsphone marketplace to preview my app.
It will be good if you can paste url shortcut to application in Marketplace
I am a new user so not allowed to post any forms of url in this thread.. will do so as soon as i wil be allowed..
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-AU/apps/d7868a6c-628f-4567-bb2b-40e6a313285b
Link to the web Marketplace for anyone interested.
Interesting start. However, note that the app installs to the app list and not in XBox live.
hey thanx rare earth...
