look around in the rom sections and use the "search" function without hesitation.
also search around before posting a question or request, to avoid reposts and nuisances.
hope this helps

Heya Hippie! And congrats on a great device. I've had my Tilt 2 for about 9 months now and just keep loving it more and more. What are you looking to do to the fone besides stop the error messages? Lemme know, I can give you any help you need. Or you can email me directly or leave me a message on here. I've learned what to look for and also to watch out for, but as anyone here will tell you, we all have differences of opinions, likes and dislikes. Also depending on your taste and how far you'd like to go with your device will vary how far we can go. To get rid of any error messages, which one I can guarantee says: need NETCF.Messages.EN.wm.cab (May not include the ".cab") That's one I ran into a lot before I got a ROM from the threads here. I promise you Hippie, anything you may need will most likely be here on XDA-Developers. This is a great site with many awesome people. As the previous post mentions, use the search at the top. It will help you a great deal!!
Good Luck!!
Jeremy

thanks, panther. I found on the HTC website that they recomend replacing touchflo 3d with sense, which i did and thought i'd give it a try. error messages are gone but it still has a few things i don't like about it. so i think i may try something new when i get the time to. i see your configurations and i think i'll start there, seeing how you are happy with it. then i'll go from there if i want to try something else

[Q] Need someone to develop a custom ROM for me

This question applies to the Samsung Galaxy Note (not the Note II), the SGH-T879 distributed by Tmobile.
Pardon me if this is a ridiculous question or if it is posted in a wrong forum; I know so little about these things.
I got the Note (referenced above) several months ago. I have beaten my head against a wall trying to get it to record both sides of a conversation within the phone -- without having to use speakerphone -- with no success.
I've tried many call recording programs, even ones with great reviews, and I think my problem is that Android versions later than 2.3.5 have blocked direct access to the firmware or hardware (not sure exactly which applies here). I have no experience with programming or development and don't want to learn. So here's my question: What would it cost to get someone to write a custom ROM that will allow the call recording programs to work properly? Or is that even a practical consideration at all?
Please, no suggestions on trying call recording programs or the moral or legal implications. Let's just stick to the question about the custom ROM.

Pffft! Whatever wrong forum.

Some of the Custom ROM in Development section has Call Recording Option, Did you try any of those Rom.
For example "Saurom-Projekt The_Hybrid 'Inovation' edition| AROMA" has call Recording. I have not used this rom but i just looked under the change log and it says it has Call Recording.

I think its safe to say that 98% of all Dev's on xda dont do this for money so I think just flat out paying somebody to do this is out. second you make a point of saying you refuse to learn to do it yourself which a lot of people would agree goes against the very spirit and intention of this site. Ya gotta be willing to learn if thats what it takes to make things happen the way you want! I hope ya have luck finding your answer though!

Yea, I'm using Saurom-Projekt, and it records fine unless you are using a bluetooth headphone. That coupled with an app (I use Sanity) gives me automatic incoming and outgoing call recording.

you obviously haven't tried call recorder by skvalex... Been using it for almost a year. Best 10 dollars ever spent. of course there is one thing you have to do on the note to get it to work but you clearly stated you don't want to learn or didn't want any program suggestions.

Thanks for all the replies.
Okay, I get it. This forum is for developers who help developers; but, I need a solution sooner than the years it would take me to learn how to program. I've never programmed. I've never been in the same room with a programmer, as far as I know.

I have no idea what some of those words mean. I have no idea how to choose a ROM that would both enable my phone to record calls and that would be compatible with my hardware, I understand there are several versions of the i717 and ROMs for one aren't necessarily compatible with others and I have no idea how to choose the correct one. Then there is the problem that the terms I've read in the ROMs' capabilities/descriptions frequently have no meaning to me. I'm lost in China and I don't speak Chinese.
I've tried this kind of thing before and what usually happens is that people try to help and I think they give up and go away in their own frustration trying to help someone who is clueless even about the words they use when trying to help me. It's very frustrating.

So, after having expressed my frustrations and made it clear I'm a non-developer asking questions that only a developer would understand the answers for, what is this "one thing" I have to do, v3rsatile23?

Alex, you have to learn. You have to do your own studying. No one here on XDA has the time to do all the work for you - you have to understand how to flash something, how to recover if you do and something goes awry, how to deal with testing - no one else here can do that for you.
XDA is a volunteer run Development forum - it isn't here to teach basic uses. Please keep reading and don't do anything until you're fully up to speed. Now, before the flames start, I'm closing this thread.

[Q] Problem sending MMS/video clips through messaging

Hello Everyone,
I'm not forum savvy so I'll just start by asking a question that's been bothering me and haven't found a solution yet. A friend of mine told me you guys at xds-developers were probably my best bet at getting a quality answer, esp if I contribute in ways that are helpful.
Here's the problem>>>
I bought an Android at a pawn shop(excellent conditon so I figure why not, I need to start somewhere with these smart phones)
It's the Samsung Galaxy S1 Captivate SGH-i897
It says AT&T on it, I'll upload a picture to be sure
So I call AT&T and they gave me the unlock code so I can go through airfire mobile
note:at the time I was pressed for funds and needed a cheap provider
I can do many things with this phone, but for some reason I CANNOT send MMS(multi-media messages such as pix, short video clips, song tracks, etc.) I figure this out right away, so I went ahead and "Rooted" the phone. It was done right. Anyways, "Same problem" still cannot send
multimedia messages. Now in the Access Point Names(APN) I configured airfires APN, but I noticed that there is another APN(not checked, but it says T-MOBILE US 310 640(epc.tmobile.com) under the airefire APN.
That is all the information I have concerning this, but I have been asking airfire mobile, t-mobile, and AT&T questions concerning this and none of them will give me a solid answer for troubleshooting this matter.
Is there anyone on here that can assist me with this? If you need any more info concerning this, just ask, I would really like to resolve this issue
because this phone is supposed to send MMS messages and it isn't. I'd LOVE to hear some good news, but if nothing can be done about it, I guess I'll just sell the phone and try another phone, but picture texting is important to me as with some people, probably more important than most things with this phone. Thanks for reading this and perhaps taking the time to give me a helping hand.

wrong forum bro... smh this is really happening a lot to the HTC ONE threads.

I still don't understand how they manage to start a topic in a wrong forum. You have to go into the device forum before posting. So how?

[Q] Galaxy S

Good Evening:
This is my first time and first post here. I've gotten pretty frustrated and am hoping someone can help me out? I have a Galaxy S phone, model number SHW-110S; firmware: 2..2; kernel: 2.6.32.9; build version: FroYo.SK22. I've been all over the net and can't seem to get the users manual specific to this particular phone. So, I have a number of questions? Let's start with this one: where can I get/download a users manual specific to this phone? If it becomes too difficult to find, then my next question would be: Can I upgrade this phones O.S.? Now, there are still many more questions, but I think that's enough to get started in the right direction.
Thank You:
Rick

Hi, ive been lurking a long time and I believe that your model of the Galaxy is a Korean version.
I found this page about turning the SHW-110S into an I9000 model. I can't post the link since i have less than 10 posts so just look up Turn SHW-110S to GT-I9000 (Samsung Galaxy S) on Google
I hope it can help you in some way. :good:

Maybe it helps asking your question in the galaxy s q&a subforum

REPLY TO kishagi:
Afternoon kishagi:
You are correct; it is a Korean make/model. It was with great interest that I read you reply. NO ONE has suggested this maneuver. And keeping with that theme, would it not be best just to upgrade the O.S? As far as I can tell, I can go only as far as Honeycomb 2,3,6(?). Now, should I option for this upgrade, I wonder if I'd be able to activate the FM/TV receiver in the phone? I've done a LOT of searching and believe I've found the answer to the FM question. That is to install a widget called simply "Galaxy S radio widget". However, it seems that widget is defunct(?). So, could you suggest another widget that is comparable and compatible with this phone? And would you know if I'd upgrade whether this widget would still operate in Honeycomb? THANX for responding and my apologies for taking so long to reply!
STAY SHARP:
Rick
ADDENDUM: This has got to be THE most frustrating forums/site I've ever been in!!!! Once you login, just trying to get back to this forum/subforum is a nightmare!! I'm also extremely disappointed by the lack of response/lack of knowledge this supposedly "special forum" delivers. Read the "into" to this forum, it clearly deceives anyone that comes to this forum into thinking their phones issues might be solved. I've not only had so much difficult in trying to start/post a "thread" (hell, most of the time I can't even find the "icon" to tik), once I login, I have one hell of a time even finding/getting into this subforum. I'm not getting/receiving responses to my questions. Clearly, there was no one devoting "'special" attention/service" to this forum as stated in the introduction. IF I find where to unsubscribe I will certainly do so. TO THE DEVELOPERS OF THIS FORUM: You and this supposed forum are a sad joke and a complete waste of time and space.!!!!!

Introduce yourself! What's your XDA story?

HI you guys are awesome

Well hi all, I'm 'new', but not really that new, since I've been searching through XDA topics on many occasions for quite a few years now. Not sure why it took me so long to actually make an account, but here I am.
So about me - half geek, half creative, F/LOSS enthusiast for over 20 years, full time Linux user since 2006, interested in way to many subjects to ever become a specialist in any of them within at least a dozen of life spans. Hence I don't think I'll ever be able to call myself a developer, but hey, we'll see ;-)

Hello everyone, i'm back here after a long, long time
I used to read alot here when i was 10 - 15 but I think i switched to iOs during 2010s and i never really had my phone in the center of my occupations so i bought some macbook & iphone and i started to learn code. (mostly js)
I would be really happy to help users here, if i can, and discuss about my new device. 2020s seems to be redditable as **** tbh, the xda lost kid became some kind of creative dev who's going back to the r00t
Thank you for everything I have read here over the last years!

More than anything, XDA is a community, and we're all here for different reasons.
Some are here to mod their phone--some joined just to ask a question. Or perhaps, like many, you joined so long ago, you have no idea why you're here (which is totally fine! we've been around for almost a decade). And we're in the process of making XDA more useful to everyone here now that we've moved to much better forum software.
But we'd love to know your XDA story: why are you here, and who are you? What's your day job, what phones do you have, where do you live, what do you like to do for fun? We'd love to get to know you!
Also, be sure to spend some time filling out your profile:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/account/account-details
And also adding what phones you have to your inventory:

thanks and welcome. I'm one of the guys in charge and my DMs are always open if you ever want to chat or even complain.

Hello. I have an LG expression 3 and a MotoG 7 power .i am here looking for a ROM or theme for both phones.
A while back I had an AOPk boot animation that was awesome and the alien ROM ( I think) . it had awesome fonts and icons. I was wondering if UI theme kitchen is still around and if either phone is rootable and or would be compatible with the theme kitchen. ?? Its been a while but I really hope you can help me find something . both phones are pretty plain and boring .

Hey All,
I am a Redmi 5 user and I am here in XDA to find a way to root my phone and also see that, if there is any possibility that I can upgrade the Android version as mine is stuck at version 8.

Well i like the internet especially for the opportunity to learn from others and share information with people that equaly appreciate the content as much as i do.
Here i gonna admid i am more on the newby side.. I played around with phones in the past. Mostly following up tutorials of people that really understand what they are doing... And this way i can create something with their help that me on my own would be hard to accomplish... We build on each other in different aspects of life and here i am appreciating to receive knowledge of the ones that are really into electronics/software/programming. ..
Its a strange, extremly complex but logic world that i find myself in when dealing with modifiying electronics .
Thanks for sharing this with me

Hi all,
I was in read-only mode for years and now I had to reply to a post.

Thanks for everyone

Hi there!
I hope I can find all the answer for my question without posting, so I don't bother you

Heya, I am Aaron, joined XDA for useful apps, support and to comment under programs or roms I use, nothing much to know about me

Hi everyone.
Glad to have stumbled upon this wonderful community. Hope to consider myself a developer too very soon taking the wealth of resources here into consideration.
Will put substantial effort in abiding by all rules and regulations.

Welcome to XDA!
Have a good read and enjoy!

Hi. I'm a french CS engineer and a Debian addict.
I systematically root all my phones and have a specialization in tuning the iptables to not talk to the GAFAMs. Rooted phones so far : Huawei codenames HAM, NEML51, old samsung phones, a couple of Wiko phones.
I've been following XDA-developers for a decade and decide now to onboard :
* Short-term goal : get some help on a very edge case involving dm-verity and kali nethunter on Nexus5X (bullhead)
* Long-term goal : wait patiently for the day when a full debian phone / ubuntu touch will be available at a relatively low price, and help all along
