i posted something for help and never got a reply, also i have went back alot of pages and a lot of people who are new and posted for help have received none what so ever. why is that?
chris
It might be the nature of the question or not enough info to allow someone to compose an answer without asking a question in response.
I'm hardly an old-timer around here and have found the site quite helpful and have gotten response to my questions.
its fairly easy to ask for more info tho? but it was just a question i wasnt getting on anyones back or that. i am a total newbie at these phones and need as much help as i can get to use it to its full potential
chris
I'm new here too. Asked a question, got an answer. Look at your question and two things trike me. Its a bit vague and its something I expect you could find out by searching these forums and the rest of the net.
I find that if you help yourself - by finding out as much as you can first, maybe trying a few things and having them fail - then people are far more willing to help you.
General rule of the board No.79231 - "Don't reply to anyone who spells theme incorrectly" ;-)
Seriously, it's probably because you asked a question that has been asked so many times that it is obvious you have not shown any effort by doing a search yourself.
Tip try a search for corporate AND install. I'm not sure if it is exactly the same method as on the Alpine and I'm not going to search for you I'm afraid.
yea i understand that guys, and i have searched and found a load of stuff just do not have a clue what to download theres that many.
oh an come on one typo :lol:

So you started a post to ask how come no one answered your other post?
What's the question?
If you can't find the answer here, have you checked other forums?
Lotta people out there with answers...

See first thing I noticed - everything you asked in this post can be found by just searching the forum. Themes [I assume you do mean themes] can be found by a simple google search. How to install on the XDA[is that a phone?] can be found in the users manual. Upgrading the ROM might be something you wanna come back to once you know your phone a little better. Live with it a little while...

Me, Get ratty? Perish the thought. Me getting ratty would be like me saying something like, oh, I don't know - "Listen you little twit!!! Try the fricken search button!!!" But I didn't say that. I tried to offer you some help. Take it or leave it!!!

Thats so much better....
1. I take it you mean the ROM. You don't wanna delete the OS. You wanna upgrade it. I use the MDA/Wizard so I'm not to sure about the upgrade for the mini but I'm sure someone has cooked one by know. Again. Just search for "Mini s Rom upgrade."
2. Once you find the upgrade, it'll tell you how to install it. Read that post carefully. No since bricken the thing.
3. Search for themes. I use www.pdagold.com and a few others.
4. No Chris, how would I know what would interest you? I mean I good but mind reading isn't something I've mastered just yet - close but still not 100%. PDA gold offers some freeware. Check them out...

People do help newbies, and that's part of the job. I'm getting worried by the number of people saying that we don't help newbies. We were all one once, but for God, I suppose (I guess that's what he was doing for the first 5 days, blinging up his phone!)
Anyway, I don't know anything about the o2 stuff. I've got an o2 phone, but basically reset my phone before it installed anything from the extended rom. This basically means, extended slowness. You can then pick and choose what to install to customise your phone, resulting in a faster phone.
Theme and things: I suggest you have a look through this thread for ideas
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560&highlight=start
Many people recommend Wisbar, a customisation program to change the look of the phone. It's heavy, uses a lot of memory, but looks good.
Have a look through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=57926&highlight=software
There are many similar threads on the board, but my recommendations are, install SmallMenu, gsfinder, (and for me, VJOkButt). Anything else is cosmetic or optional, these 2/3 are essential.
V
1. to remove it try doing a hard reset, then boot up in coproate mode and enter 0506.Failing that to temporarily remove it go to start->settings->remove programs and remove O2ActiveUI. This will only make it go until your next hard reset. If you want to get rid of it another way try removing the file from the startup by: fileexplorer /windows/startup remove the program called o2 startup and do a soft reset.
2.no prgrams needed
3.you need to get wisbar advance forst, then get the xp theme on that and it should work
4. get a program called spb pocket plus, great little app and tcmp movie player too is good after that it's down to personal preference
Try www.freewareppc.com for lots of freeware.

1. How to install Windows XP on my Wizard?
2. Where to download 3mpx patch for my camera?
3. And I need FM-radio patch too. May be it in AKU 3.5?
4. How to double screen resolution to 640x480?
5. And finally: how to install ASQ* Filter for this forum?
*ASQ = Another Stupid Question

Sorry about your Feelings Chris.
I felt the same a few days back when I joined this forum.
But People who scorned at me were probably those who had never even heard about the forums I am Moderating on; (these forums have nothing to do with XDA developement however) But I can assure them that had they posted anything "seemingly stupid" on those forums I would have gladly helped them.
Vijay Was extremely helpful in explaining to me the way the world runs and the Way THIS forum Runs (excuse the caps).
He came to my rescue and set things right about it and I am glad that he is here as are some other members who have been very much helpful.
This forum is a Great place for newcomers as well as for experts.
At first if you dont understand things u might feel confused; but later on as you go thru the posts......things become clear.
At least they did for me.
I have read your posts and what you write was, what I felt just 2 weeks back when I joined, Only I took it all in my stride.
Chris maybe you had the guts to speak it out loud..
So in a way you are better that me Chris !!
Please keep on searching for your answers here on xda-dev and I am sure you shall go a long way.
In case there is ever anything I can do to help you out simply whisper...
(im me)
I have posted a reply to your queries for O2 default software removing and I have posted a few Today skins (XP type)
regards....and have fun with your New Set !!
The skins are availble here :arrow:

(Simply a newbie like you )
jeasbe: I hope that you meant that sincerely, because I just read through my posts to you and I always sound like I'm a real idiot! I'm not generally such a d*ck, but I was relatively recently made a moderator, and my view is this:
I love this forum; I refresh all day, I wrote an RSS scraper for it, and post randomly all through the day. I try to keep the board as enjoyable for others as it is for me. I don't like slapping anyone down, because who am I? But sometimes, I think people forget that we're all people with brains and familes and feelings, not just meaningless posts on a forum.
So really, I mean it, if anyone gives anyone a hard time, PM me and I'll see if it's a legitimate complaint. If I can help, I'll probably end up answering a post at some point anyway, because I can't stop :shock:
Again jeasbe, apologies for sounding curt with you before, but as you can see from the above thread, people were getting out of hand and that irritated me!

I personaly got 2 replys... so did pretty well... although... still cant get rid of flipping message sent tone
Anyone has the skin for Kayser?
What is a "Kayser"????
People sure love to be smart asses instead of helping. -_-'
Anyways I would help you if I knew how...

i dont know what you're looking for..but maybe start with google...
Sorry, no joy yet...
Been looking everywhere but to no avail I'm afraid. Can't believe SOTI want me to upgrade my license to be able to download skins. Why do I need to buy the same program twice for the sake of a skin???
Seems the only way we're gonna get one is if someone kindly donates it to us...
Do you mean like this thread ?

...and no I'm not going to ask everyone what's the best ROM or some such; I read the "Read Before Posting". I just thought I'd kind of introduce myself and allow people the opportunity to relive their first experiences vicariously through me.
But yea, I'm very excited to finally get my hands on one of these and I've got a serious amount of reading to do on how to get everything nice and nifty. Wish me luck!
I do have one serious question though, as far as physical aesthetic modification, how easy is it? I may want to repaint things and especially get rid of that awful AT&T logo. I'm assuming there are those out there that have tried similar things to what I'm thinking of.
Someone was asking this before, I think someone else was suggesting sugar cubes, but I cannot find the post... I'll keep looking.
EDIT:
Found It: Search this forum for "Sugar" there are loads of ATT Logo Removal threads
Dave
Hey! Thanks for lookin' out.
As far as actually repainting the whole thing, has anyone done it? Faceplate only, though.
I hate the ugly att logo, like most people. although honestly this phone doesnt look all that slick to begin with. The kaiser is an amazing phone, even more so if you know how to use it right xD
welcome and hope you enjoy it here.

I have the Stellar and I thought it was really nice looking when it came out. But since the Diamond / Raph, well ... what can I do
Dave
Hey everyone! I finally got my Kaiser yesterday and I spent all night and morning toying with it.
I'm now using HDIII and I've customized it completely to my tastes with all the different tweaks and such out there. Thanks for the welcomes!
It's so funny now, though, because after all this customization, I keep feeling like there's more I could do to it and I want to do it all, haha.
If I had known the Kaiser was capable of such things, I would've gotten one long ago.
[EDIT]
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to just tell me how to fix one thing. I probably could've searched it, which I did, but I guess I either did something wrong or that wasn't it. I wanted to change the screen where it displays the 'RGD' lines with the numbers. I thought that would be the 'welcomhead.96.png' but I guess that's not it. So, how could I change this? Thanks.
If you are talking about the little numbers in lower right corner when it boots, that's the software and radio version info it can only be changed with a different ROM.
That's the Splash screen, there is a post by pof and by -888- somewhere that will help you.

Not true. He wants to change the splash screen. Not change the numbers themselves. Its a simple flash and you are all set
Hi guys, i'm new to this forum and would like to say firstly, hello and thanks to everyone for the info!. I've had my Xperia X1i now for a year and love adding apps and games and stuff but Android caught my eye the other day and i've spent nigh on 4 nights solid, running in circles trying to get info on installing the right version but to no avail. Would it be possible please to let me know step by step on what to install, how to get the correct version and also how to "tweak" the startup.t please? I would be forever in your debt. Thankyou.
Where do you get the idea all those problems are already solved ? Maybe asking in that thread would help. AFAIK no progress was made beyond what what HTC users did.
Welcome!!!
