how to change this text? [whoops, my bad, V]

how to change this text?
How do I change the title of a thread that has already been in progress?

Never mind. Changing first post title doesn't seem to work...

I think edit has been opening already in advanced mode for me. If I use a second tab and edit a second thread the advanced button becomes visible and when pressed takes me to what I normally see.
Doing that changes the text when veiwed from within the thread, but from the forum it is not changed. Above i added the <test> but it dose not show up in the forum. Dose it take some time to take effect?

You're right. I was so sure this would work I posted without testing. Sorry.
Just tried it on one of my old threads and it doesn't update.
Strange...

Hum, I can't even do it and I have mod satus, I will post this in the mod section and see if an admin can point us in the correct area.

Hi Guys,
Admins and mods can change this by going to thread tools -> edit thread.
I changed some settings which should enable the thread starter to also change this.
OdeeanRDeathshead: can you test whether you can now change this?
Thanks in advance,
Flar

This is my Title and I can change it if I want to.
Now I see it,
Over edit and advanced you can change the title of the message but not the thread. Over Thread tools the thread.
But can the starter of a thread change his own title (I am not sure if he has thread tools, I would think not).
We wait to find out

Any place I can get the thread tolls to drop down, they do not contain the edit thread option. I still would like to be able to do this.

solution:
Hi Guys,
figured it out:
We wanted to give the user who started the thread unlimited time to change the thread title, therefore we changed some settings to a "default" unlimited setting. We've found out that this is not yet an enabled feature by the software developers.
In short: we must set a time limit within which the user who started the thread is allowed to change the title.
We've set this time limit to a week, within a week after starting the thread the user who started the thread can change the title.
This can be done simply by editing the post title, thread tools are only available to moderators and admins. (this is not how I thought this up, it's simply how the software works)
Hope this helps.
Greetz,

Thank you for your effort Flar. I think a week is too small. For example, I wanted to change the thread title on my GSMbeam thread to show that there was a security update. With ongoing stuff like that it takes weeks-months between the first post and the ongoing refinements. Why not just let the author have a very long period, a year would be good, to alter the thread title. I can understand that you may be concerned that people may totaly alter their titles after a while to get fresh interest in old threads but my motivations are valid. I leave it in your hands but if you can't give more time then perhaps a moderator could change the text to what I edited my first post in that thread to be.

I feel the poster should be able to edit his subject with no time llimit.
Lets take software, user x post appl y ver sion 1.0, then upgrades his first post with ver 2.0. He should change his own tiltle.
Sure mods could do it, admins as well, but do we want to ??

I agree as well. And I think its not just for those who post software (though as one of them I would like the option). Many 'fresh users' (my polite way of saying n00bs) start off with titles like "Pleeeeeees help me" or "Urgent!". I don't need to point out the problems with such titles and why they often prevent the poster from receiving an answer.
Often though they receive an advice and should be able to follow it and change the title to something more useful without having to bother the mods who I am sure are busy as it is.
If the software won't allow permanent permission to change the title it should be set to the longest period allowed (hope its more that a week).

I need to set a limit so i'm really sorry I can't put this on unlimited.
As soon as this option comes available I'll change this.
Untill that time I've set the maximum to a year.
Greetz,
Flar

thanks it worked now

Need to disable D-PAD navigation. Use KaiserTweak or AdvanceConfig.

Hi folks,
Nice one, thanks ecltech, its all back to normal now. It wasn't a huge problem but it was starting to get annoying. So I’m thankful for you helping me sort this out.
Grizzley, not sure what the link was supposed to point to, but it just brought up the advanced search form on google.
Cheers once again

That was the point Grizzley was trying to make - this issue has been asked several (countless times) and keeps getting reposted. He is trying to suggest searching for the answers to your questions before posting - chances are, 90% of your questions have already been answered (at least twice). The last post regarding this issue is on page 2 or 3 so wouldn't have taken much searching.
Sounds pedantic but that at least 1/3 of the 260-ish pages are repeat posts - would make the forum much easier to navigate if everything wasn't repeated so much.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. Guess you'll know next time....

Vibrate once

Hi,
Can any of you wizzards make a reg tweak to add a setting to only vibrate once, only i want to know if its ringing but if im in the middle of something important it does my head in when it vibrates for ages and it so lound.
Thanks a lot
Jason

Chainfire / Nikagl already has, it's in KaiserTweak, which is one of the stickies on top of the forums. (Ringtones section)
If that doesn't do it for you, searching for 'change vibrate kaiser' on this forum using google (see that tab up there) would have given you the manual way with regedit in item #4 and #8.
Please try searching before posting in the future. If you have further questions regarding this topic, ask in one of those threads. This redundant thread is closed.

Is there a reason you created another thread within 15 minutes of this one? Couldn't get an answer fast enough?
Just an FYI, that behavior pisses off a lot of people on this forum, and will only make getting any answers a lot more difficult... now and in the future.

There are various things wrong with this post:
lack of a descriptive subject
did not search before posting
created a new thread instead of replying to an existing one
created duplicate threads

[Q] Question(s) about modifying existing ROMS

Morning!
Im tinkering around learning about adding apps and customizations to existing ROMS. Im messing around with Tayutama Edition v1.0.2 (I9000) superslim, and i want to add shortcuts to the desktop and remove existing ones. Where would i find that info? I think i read its just in a xml file but i cannot see one that includes the information in the ROM
2nd Question: Do i have to keep the modem.bin file in the ROM? i just dont need to keep flashing it every time i test if the radio hasnt changed
3rd Question: I put in Handcent SMS into the /system/app to install when it flashes, but it crashes when i go to settings. Anyone else seen this?
Im very new to this, but a quick study! Any help is appreciated!!
Cheers!

Anybody Know? Maybe i posted this in the wrong forum? Arg i have just hit a wall and i cannot find the answers im looking for!!!
Cheers!

AllGamer and I share the forum-level moderating responsibilties for the SGS i9000 areas. While I have asked ragin (and ask the same of everyone here) to use the "report this" button at the top of every thread/post to notify us of things like this, this thread (and several others he has comment similarly in) are indeed misplaced and do not belong in the development section.
If anyone is unclear as to the proper location/placement for threads, particularly in regards to the development section, I advise you to read both the "STOP!! Before you post, read this NOW!!" thread at the top of each section...it has clear and extensive guidelines for what should and should not be posted in the development section.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in both proper placement of threads/posts, as well as proper use of the methods for handling ones that end up here improperly

Deleted. Changed my mind about the question
