i just dont get this. i have been a member for 2 months and im just as lost as i was when i started. if i ask 1 of the people who know what to do they say search or gtfo. i search and end up more confused. the threads arent very friendly to a person just starting out like me. all of the language is written for people who already no what their doing. its not dumbed down at all. i think i will just use this site to download roms and themes since thats all i can seem to do
I am not trying to attack you or anything, but what is the purpose of this thread?
There are a lot of helpful people around here, maybe you aren't putting your questions in the Q&A thread? Or they aren't worded properly so people know how to assist you.... IDK.
Seeing as this is the only thread you have ever started here, I can't really say that it looks like you have posted much requesting help. I see one post where you were having problems flashing a new recovery image, but it looks like you probably just entered either the file name or path wrong. Or you didn't save the file in the root of your sdcard.
But, also, seeing as this is the XDA-Developers forum.... a certain level of knowledge seems to be expected by a lot of the members. I really don't see where anyone has told you to search or GTFO, in fact, I didn't really notice any responses to your posts.
If you want people to help you, post in the proper section and form coherent, explanatory questions.

This place isn't all that bad, now is it?
The issue is this I think...
Generally, you need to know something of what you are doing. The reasons are simple;
1) If things start to go wrong, you need to understand enough about the process to at least be able to follow instructions without them having to be written in a specific button-by-button manner,
2) People who blindly follow instructions are bound to miss a step or screw one up simply because they don't understand the instructions (this goes back to #1).
If you are a regular user of an android device, I suggest sticking with a stock build -- they are meant for people who know nothing about the platform. If you are an advanced user, you should be able to get the "gist" of things and fill in the blanks where necessary.
I'm not telling you to gtfo, what I'm telling you is that you really need to think about YOUR level of understanding of how things happen. If you aren't advanced enough to be able to fill in a few blanks here and there, then you might want to think about what you are doing, which is essentially putting a fairly expensive piece of technology into the hands of people you don't know and have no reason to trust. You also have to realize that the instructions that you get from here don't go through months of QA to verify that they are perfectly correct with no chance of, for example, bricking your phone. It is very possible that you could see a bunch of instructions that tell you what to do, but that the author maybe accidentally forgot to include a critical step, and it is absolutely UP TO YOU to be able to see that there is a missing step.
I concur. I have had numerous people ask me for help rooting their g1's. Some I help because they are computer literate and have hacked or altered software on other platforms and hardware. Those that have asked that still need help when basic things go wrong in a windows platform, I say no and tell them to enjoy their Android phone. If they are willing to dive in and learn, my offer may change down the road
What do you need help with?
OK I'll say right now, I'm very new to the HTC/Android scene so please pardon my severe lack of knowledge with regards to... well pretty much everything.
I know that currently rooting the device is not possible, but I was wondering if anything can be done to modify the device in any way which doesn't involve downloading apps or whatnot. I'm just curious to learn how to do stuff and would be interested to find out if anyone has made even the most minor of aesthetic or ROM changes to the device.
Again, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I can find precious little information about anything like this in the Buzz/Wildfire area of the forums.
Hey,
So I have this exta VPS that I'm currently not useing. Ive done some thinking and was thinking about having a place for themers to host their themes. I haven't really seen a place just for them.
Having that said you maybe thinking whats better than other file share sites. Well what i could offer is non limited uploads/downloads speeds. (1gig port). and no annoying waiting times.
Its nothing offical yet. Just a thought and was wanting to see what you themers would think about haveing your own place to have your own files hosted.
Let me know. what you all think.
Thanks!
I have it up. but need a few testers first. PM me if your interested.
When trying to send an attachment whether it's a document or photo or anything I get the message of "can not send.... Program has been moved or deleted.... Or something to that effect. I'm sure I deleted something which I thought was bloat or didn't think I'd ever need and well, guess what, I need to have it of course. Anybody have any idea what I am missing and if so, where I could get it??? . Cricket 510 Nonsense v1.04.
Edit: OK, seems to be just files or documents I am not able to attach, if that helps anybody to help me. . Thanks in advance guys.
FUNNY, I have noticed in this Q & A Forum that most/many of the subjects have had tons and tons of "views" but pretty much no responses of help. Seems odd that except for a select few (you know who you are) nobody seems to know what they are doing or can provide any assistance for any of the issues listed. Ill assume that the majority of the users of this "cheap" device are new and/or new to Android.
Sorry, I guess I am just used to what goes on and whats happening over in the Samsung Forums.
BTW.....................Thanks anyways, I figured it out myself. Yeah baby!!!
Hello,
I am really annoyed that someone did this in the first place, and also that users on here act like a herd of sheep and follow everyone else and glorify this rip off of someone else's work. There's lot's of people working very hard on here to make their promotional animation as good as possible that deserve to be there instead of this talentess effort. I think the video should be removed as an example to others that this site is not to be used a video hosting site. It is here so that "anyone can animate"
How do you feel about this?
Please post your thoughts.
Thank you.
