Database Develop

Wiki Blueangel Development

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

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

Ok
under:
Other HTC devices
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!!!
Dom

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.

how to create a tab for tf3d?

greetings
how can i modify or create a tab for tf3d,
create a clock?
where i can find that info?
or is somebody wants to teach me
thanks

have you tried using the search bar to find your answers???

yes
and all i can find is some app you can do something pre-defined
i want to know how i can modify it at will
no just some pre-define tabs

Hey Dadiio,
I myself am unsure. However, a developer here on XDA has created a tab for standard windows mobile plugins (I believe it is called MTP). You may want to search that term on XDA and PM the developer of that plugin. Keep in mind you will probably need some significant programming/coding experience.

thanks
let me see
i am a software developer since 1993
but my experience is more on database app

Awesome , since you are an experienced developer, it won't really matter if you have to brush up on a bit of syntax, you have the ability to write a piece of software, regardless of the language. If it was me, I'd try to convince him to lend you his source code as a starting point . I do know that his program keeps an app open in memory for his particular functionality (which is very useful if you use touchflo 3d, I don't due to the battery drain).
Give the guy a shout and see what he says...good luck!

ok
i tried to find the "MTP"
but i don't get nothing
if you can help me i will appreciate it
thanks

Thanks in advance.

Forums don't use html code. They use BB Code. When you go to edit your signature, look for the icon that looks like the earth with a chainlink on it. That's the hyper link button. Self explanitory from there really...

Well that seems simple enough. Thanks man.

I don't have that.
any ideas? Also, what about making a picture the link? How do you do that?

Look at bbcode(dot)org(front-slash)examples (this 8 post thing is bringing me down... I tried to actually give you the code, but anything having to do with a weblink or the URL tag makes the forum angry). From there click "Posting Images" and it will give you an example that should work.
So you will need the image hosted somewhere (xda photo albums... think I saw that in the user CP?), get the address of it, and put that in for the IMG tag, and then you use the URL after the = sign. You should be able to copy/paste that and just change the http parts inside to suit what picture and link you want.

*URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835272"]UGJK4[/URL*
I deleted the beginning and ending bracket and replaced it with the Astrix* symbol so you know what it looks like. The text that you are linking is in red, and should go between the URL code. Hope that makes sense.
Quick way of doing it is, highlight the text you want linked>once it is highlighted click on the insert link button> paste the url > and hit ok. Now the text that you are linking should be in the middle as above. Hope any of this makes sense, can get confusing.
Hope this is what your looking for.
edit: if you don't see those buttons, it's probably because you don't have those privileges

Thanks guys, I'll try this out when I get home and be sure to button thank yall.

Uh, well it's still not letting me. Still comes out as url string, no text link. But now I know how to do it. I'll check with a mod and see if permissions are set to no for me. At the bottom of the page it says they are all good. Thanks again guys.

Do you have any plans for a snes emulator too?

Will check this out. Thanks!

Working fine here, hope you will be able to fix sound too =)

On my Trophy, I do notice a significant speed improvement when I select the "Faster screen" option. What does this do differently? Is there any downside to using this option?

Very Nice.
But maybe you could add a description how to add Games, as it took me a while to figure out what to do (I guess I'm not the only one)

Error
Hi!
I get this error when trying to add an .xml....
Can't load the game list! The remote server returned an error: NotFound
Could you please do a step by step tutorial on how to do the gamelist... and explain what is the "URI" you need to enter into warios jewels settings?
Thanks for your time!

http://gamelistcreator.codeplex.com/
There is what you have to to to create a GameList.
Afterwards - Upload your "Covers" and "Roms" folders to a webserver, as well as the GameList.xml
Then just enter this URL in the Game Settings. Et volià.

Where is the .xap? I'm getting the .zip, but there is no XAP file inside it.

Well, in that case you have to move the button (or add a description) so that everyone can easily find it

Thanks...tried the Gamelist and added some roms... I have now ready the 3 files you said....
but didnt understand what you really meant when you said of uploading it to a "webserver"....you mean ...megaupload/rapidshare...and that sort of?...
or...is it another thing?
sorry for my poor knowledge on the subject...
new to this world
Thx!

You'll need a real webserver where you can access those files. So Rapidshare, e.g. is not an option.

Just wondering, what does the little Floppy Disc button do on the Individual Game page? It's greyed out for all of my games.

We currently do not but that is a good idea . If we do make one I will be sure to contact you XD

I have an issue with the GameList.xml.
I created it with "GameListCreator", then I redirected "GameList.xml", "Roms" and "Covers" with HFS (HTTP File Server), shut off the Firewall, pointed to the URL of the XML but I obtained the following error :
"Can't load the game List ! The format of the GameList is not valid !
NullReferenceException"
I tried your GameList.xml but I have the same issue.
So I tried to replace "Roms\" by "Roms/" and "Covers\" by "Covers/" in the xml file, unfortunately nothing change
Thanks for your work and help

love the website! amazing silverlight
gonna try the emu soon, much appreciate your work!
keep it up!

Someone needs to post the instructions because i don't know what to do

2 possible solutions:
1. if you have access to web-page - add parameter to URL and make web-page show only interested section (will require adding some logic on the web-server).
2. download HTML-page with HttpClient, parse and extract interested node, render the content in WebView.
