Okay, your question would lead me to believe that you HAVE NOT READ THE FORUMS... Here's why.
1. The "Extra Junk" you refer to is "Operator Customizations" which are located in the "Extended ROM". I was aware of this within 1 hour of starting to sift through the forums.
2. A quick search will find at least 2 million (ok exagerated for effect) mentions of soft reseting when the phone says it will begin installing customizations in 3 seconds as a way to have a clean install of WM5.
3. Members of the forum are quite good at answering noobie questions, unless they've been asked and answered 200 times, by then it gets annoying.
So, seriously spend some time learning about your device. Just spend a day or two reading the wizard forums without a specific aim other than to learn. If you don't then the next question of your that gets ignored will be something along the line of:
"Thanks to you assholes who didn't explain exactly the risk of flashing my phone I now own a $400 brick!"

1st Learn how to make a proper post before talking to me *****!
2nd....read Kyphur's post, we share the exact same opinion, so who is right or wrong here loser?
[off-topic]
Sorry Mods and Admins for my words, but this little prick is bugging me a lot!
Well, maybe this is a little off-topic too, perhaps it is an stupid post, but using words like "*****, f*ck this, f*ck that" and flaming at eachother isn't going to help this guy, and isn't helping yourself either..
Anyway, I wish I could help, but I don't know, maybe use the search function at the top of the page.
Take Care!

Hello all i am new to this forum, and i read many posts regarding to flashing a HTC ROM, but there are still couple things i do not understand, and i hope someone can help me answer them.
I got a HTC HD from HK (European Version I believe, because it has orange logo on the battary cover)
I found this version quite inconvenient for me, because it does not support Chinese Traditional texts display when i browse on Chinese website.
I am still toying with the basic HD function, i only want to flash my rom to the CSL CHT rom
here is my question, do i have to do a HSPL or USPL.... i read some post about each HD device has their own ID or model, so there might be a limitation on rom i can flash to, how do i check the model for my HD?
the links on Duttythory are not connecting me to their files, anyone know another way around this problem?
i guess my last question is what is why do we flash the RADIO? I have flashed ROMs (from official website) on my TOUCH before never flash RADIO before.. if anyone can provide me a link with explanation will be helpful.
Thank you
beelee335
can some experienced user answer my question
many thanks
couple of things
this is a community, the way you are asking for help sounds very much like you are expecting people to jump and deliver for you
thats not the way forums work, no one here is an employee or providing a service of an agreed level, people here (including the admins and mods) are just people that are here to chat share and learn, some are much more active than others
secondly, you are asking a question that has been asked before and answered before. as you state you are a newbie, then the best place to start for any of us when we are noobs at certain things is the FAQ and if present, the wiki
the wiki in this instance is your best starting point
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Flashing Guide
many thanks for your respond, i did manage to find a post and solved my problem, sorry for breaking the rules now my device is flashed to a Chinese Traditional rom
again sorry about that, please just let this post sink
glad you are sorted
its not so much "rules" as just the way forums like this are, they are "user forums" and any and all forums such as this expect people to search and read and solve the problem for themselves before asking
if its a question that hasnt been answered elsewhere in the forum (as yours happily was) then ask away and people will be happy to answer you, in their time (giving just 12 hours to get a response isnt long ) if of course an answer exists!
i meant more of a heads up for you so you dont accidently upset people now or in the future so that you are able to enjoy this and other forums and get all the answers you need
enjoy your HD and here
Installed JF 1.5 (cupcake) and myfavs are gone. Is this normal as NOT part of the build?
I would like to get back if possible.
Also in the brouser auto-rotate was possible in JF 1.42 r33 and now its not working at all and landscape is not a feature under settings.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
TIA
Please, please, please read and search the existing threads (in this case the JF 1.5 thread) rather than starting a new thread.
In general I favor creating a new thread when you have a specific question for anything, the exception being about about the custom ROMs. The convention here is to keep the ROM discussion to the ROM thread and it does cut down on the noise in the forums.
In this case both of your questions have been answered on JFs 1.5 thread (multiple times)

Sorry but I do have a life and I don't always the time to read thru 28 pages. If I have the time I do search and read!!! I'm sure you never started a thread with a question that has been already answered!!!
Anyways!!! Thanks for the links!!!
Might I humbly suggest if you do not have time to search and read then wait until you do have time? Everyone here (with the possible exception of myself) has lives as well and would just as soon not have to do others work for them.
It took me longer to type my post than it did to search and provide you the links. In the time it took you to do your posts you could have gotten the answers yourself.
And yes I have asked questions and had it pointed out to me that the question has been asked before and been provided a link to the answer. However I have never posted a question on a forum without first searching as thoroughly as possible. Never. Probably why I have to ask very few questions.
Regardless of how u feel I'm sure this thread will help others.
Again, Thanks for the links!!!

This is a process informally called "lurking", which could be better described as "doing your own goddamn work instead of making other people do it for you." Unfortunately with the widespread attention xda has gotten lately, the ratio of the lazy to the productive has risen significantly.
OP: You don't have a right to run JF software (i.e. it is provided as-is), nor is anyone obligated to provide you troubleshooting. If you don't have the time to read through the sticky threads, then like JP said you should find the time or learn how to better use the search function.
This thread had the opposite effect of helping me... it falsely got up my hopes that the MyFaves app is available, which I previously believed it to not be, having read the rom threads....

I as well thought someone added myfaves.apk to jf1.5 and re-signed it.
The JF cupcake 1.5 is an ADP version, which by default doesnt include myFaves. You can always wait for another update.
Hope that helps
You know what's even more annoying than someone not searching? ...
People who act like forum police/moderators and jump on the posters back with rude comments and a holier than thou attitude.
Instead of writing paragraphs about how YOU would post- maybe you should either not write anything at all, or, gasp, be curteous and friendly- help someone out, then kindly point out the search function if necessary.
What a concept.
Yeah, some of these threads get up to 200+ pages, with thousands of posts along with it, even a search will bring up a lot of posts. Not all of us have the time (as we work, or go to school, or have lives outside of the internet) to sit down and read through all of them. So it would be easier to answer the OP's question, and just end it there, then to tell him to search and complain like your on hormone pills, haha
But back to the OP question, any T-mobile apps will not be present in an ADP build. We just have to wait until someone gets a hold of the T-mobile build. So until then, just flash back to RC33 if you need myfaves.
You can auto rotate the browser (although other apps will use this function as well) by going to:
SETTINGS > SOUND & DISPLAY
then under "Display settings" make sure "Orientation" is checked, then your browser will rotate.

Option A: Everyone who has a problem spends the time to read the entire sticky post, not only solving their problem but also learning in the process.
Option B: Everyone who has a problem posts the same goddamn question over and over again on these forums. The real developers and hackers get sick of it and leave xda-dev.
I choose A.

I just answered the OP's question, so the thread should have no further discussion unless he has more questions. All questions can not be answered with the information found in the sticky threads, so there are people like me, and many other people in these forums who are more than willing to help out another person trying get things running smoothly. If you don't have anything positive to say to the OP and get them going in the right direction, just let other people help.

And to vr24 and andonnguyen thanks for your help and understanding.
Silly of me to think that WE ARE ALL HERE to help each other instead of acting like we are the sh!t and know-it-all's!! Ever try to read 5 pages of a thread using your G1 let alone 20+
Remember where you came from and how it felt not to know things and how it felt to be overwhelmed by all this info and how to apply it. Maybe then you will NOT act like a-holes.
I vote we all complain that proprietary, crappy T-Mobile software don't exist on NON T-Mobile builds of Android. You know, the way it's been since ADP phones were released in 2008. Oh yeah, and we all need to keep acting surprised when they continually don't show up in ADP builds. I think that's best for everyone.

Sorry, you're completely right: There's no point to having stickied threads or search buttons. Everyone should just start a new thread whenever they have a question, regardless of how many times that question has already been asked. Catering to the newbies who are too lazy to use forum tools and letting them overrun the forum is the best thing for the forum. I have seen the light!
postscript: sorry for bumping this failure of a thread, but newbie spam like this is choking out the real purpose this forum and I feel like unless someone takes a stand, [email protected] is going to lose relevance (assuming it hasn't already).
I was kind of hoping this thread would just die away once it left the front page but since it is back...

We are here to help each other. The first step in that is following, or at least considering, the rules set forth on the forums. They are here to help make the forum better. The first 2 are:
1) Search first
2) Be polite
Call me a know it all if you like. It does not change the fact that I am gently (and politely) trying to get you to do what is helpful to everyone on the forums. The vast majority of users here can follow these rules, why not you? I have not called you any names nor denigrated you in any fashion. I am simply asking you to be considerate to other forum users and mindful of the rules. By posting threads like this you generate noise in the forums that makes it harder to find new/original content. This is not an end user forum but one dedicated to technical users capable of researching answers.

No need to read 20+ pages, “search this thread” works just fine on the G1. It is easier than posting as a matter of fact since you do not need to login and requires less typing.
Remeber YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLY, period!! No matter how you feel, YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLY.
In case you cant read, YOU DONT HAVE TO REPLY.
Spanish: usted no tiene que responder
German: Sie haben keine Antwort
French: vous n'avez pas de réponse
Italian: Non si hanno per rispondere
You are NOT obligated/required to reply to anyones thread.
If you want to help then do so, if you dont then dont.
Again THANKS for the links!!!
Now please be a grown up and let this die I already got my answer
While it is sometimes said in an off-putting manner, the forum rules clearly state that you are required to search for the answer to your question prior to creating a new thread. If a search does yield the answer(s) you seek, then find an existing thread related to your problem.
For example: There are several active threads related to Cupcake, so you could have posted in one of those, as opposed to creating a new thread.
Thank you for your understanding. Thread closed.
Hi! I looked at many threads here but I dont really understand anythin about ROMS etc. , I wanted to ask everybody, which is the faster ROM for xperia X1?
I tried Android with Haret and realy liked it but there's no ROM for it at this time, can you help me ??
just type the link fot the less laggy ROM or somthing..
or maybe everybody go help making a clean ROM of Android 2.2 because this is the future!!! Winmo is sooo bad when you can have android!
thanks in advance, sorry for bad english!
This question have been asked lots of times... Make a search, read users posts in each ROM thread and most important TEST the ones you think suits you.
Cheers!

I don't know if anyone broke his Xperia while flashing custom ROMs with the correct procedure, but I'll say it's 1 in 1000 cases. Read the stickies and again the ROMs Threads and choose the one you want.
If you want a bugless and fast ROM keep the original 6.1 rom and you won't have any problem.
Mod edit: duplicate, redundant, closed
For the future pls stop opening threads twice, you already mentioned mess-ups and disorder and right away added to them.
Also q&a is not well liked, as the different answers you are certain to get will not necessarily help you at all. Nobody describes their usage behaviour while rating a rom same as you didn't offer yours when asking for ratings. So what is good for others might not be good for you.
There are many threads like "what is the best rom...", check those, there is one with "incomplete comparison between...", check that as well if you like. After that it's up to you. Try and error is definitely an essential part of the process.

I'm not the person who seems to think that questions should be posted in the 'General' forum, rather than in the 'QUESTIONS & ANSWERS' forum.
I'm not the person who is incapable of reading the forum rules before asking questions.
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.

If you had bothered to follow that first rule of XDA then it would have taken you less than 5 minutes to realise how stupid and pointless the questions were. If you don't like the answer I gave, then next time SEARCH and READ before deciding to post a question.

if that option existed, the developer section would not be missing all the links to custom roms
you can add some hacks and play around with some workarounds, but only a semi alpha rom exists which is for development only. and hoping others could find interest in how i made to create new roms with locked bootloader if possible.
