Please tell me what should i do first in the fourm? - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I am new here and really don't know what to do.
Uhm... any one would see my story?......
I got a Verizon XV6700 Yesterday for learning how to do with WinMobile system. uhm.... that's not the point...
The phone was changed into full chinese-language mode, i even can't input any english words with out keyboard -- that must be a big trouble -- I must turn the screen first when i input english.
I really don't know how to google a WM ROM for XV6700. I even thought maybe the phone is too old to find a matched ROM. then firends told me i may try to come here and find the solution...
So the story would be continued with any of you -- Please tell me what should i do? How could i find a match rom file here?
BTW: for some reason chinese fire wall may block a mont of links. if you have a good idea, please reply this post straightly with thanks.
Thanks!
ps: I don't care wheather the rom is for 5.0/6.0/6.x, I just want to know how to get a speedly and steady xv6700 used wm ROM and how to install it into the device.
ANY REPLY (KEYS/SOLUTIONS/LINKS) WOULD BE APPRECIATE!

Softwares needed please

Hi!
Am new to Windows mobile and this is my first post. I have spent quite some time going through various forums, but have still not managed to get the following softwares.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The softwares that I am looking out for should be compatible for the Cingular 8125 (WM5).
1) Software that hides folders using a pasword without any encryption
2) Software that would turn off the phone totally. I have seen softwares that turn off the pda, but the phone still remains on.
In addition, if there is a function of being able to put on the phone on & off at pre-determined times, that would be great. I had a software called "Phone Technician" that used to work on my Treo really well.
3) Software that requires a password to launch an application
Looking forward to your help ...
Thanks & regards,
Amit
sounds like you need to do some searching
Hi! st3v3,

Thanks ...

Read my software reviews, I cross-post them all into this forum. In them, I also elaborate on the 8125 compatibility.
Who's asking for warez links???

I am not aksing fo warez links. All I want are the names of the softwares, so that I can try them and buy them if they are good. Or, if they are any freeware softwares that do the job, that's great.
Take care & thanks for your replies ...
Thanks!

[long] Want to learn...

I bet most of you will think I'm another newbie who wants to do what he's not skilled to do. Well... maybe you are right. I'm sure you need expert people who can help you to improve the development. But I trust in knowledge sharing and since I found out no guide / tutorial / How-to / Step_by_step which explain how to become a "chef", I hope someone could help me to understand what I need to cook! I'm so tired to flash my devices every 4/5 days...
I'm sorry, but I've been reading lots of threads and posts that suggested me only little fragment of what it seems to me a big puzzle.
There are only a few key point in my mind and one of them is the idea that I cannot build up a ROM from the base. So, I think the best way is to take part to existing official/unofficial ROMs. For example, I've got the installer of official WM6 upgrade for HTC TyTN and HTC Advantage. How to get the ROM file only?. I suppose there is a sort of temporary folder where it is uncompressed into...
Next step is to "explode" ROM into folders... isn't it? Which software can do it?.
And now, the nicest part: how to add/remove software?
At last... how to build up and upload your ROM, to have your devices becoming a beautiful (above all expansive) ornament?
I know I'm boring... and I don't want you to write a book for me. Please suggest me links, other posts or threads that could help me to have a complete picture for my mission...
Thank you all! I love you!
P.S.: not a word on my english!!!

[Q] Run Symbian's Program On WM

I heard a group named "Japhone" make SIS programs run on Windows Mobile possible.Its mane is "Kudic".I searched it and got a copy.(I am chinese ) But it does not work.My friend told me some file is missing in that copy.I've email ed to Japhone to ask for a copy,but no replies...So I want to ask if you heard this program.Thank you for your replies.If you've got a copy,please upload it.Thank you very much!
Anyone who can help me?
Thats a great news hackest, Even I would love to try my hand on it & would love to contribute in anyway of its development.
Any one who have got it?
Hey Hackest it seems they are not interested
They are lot to do with PPC apps only & don't care much about Symbian. Anyway I just found one chinese page which I was not able to understand even after I did translation. You can help others by being Chinese. Get that app here in the hacking section & hope that could create some unrest among those developers. Hope you will take my advice seriously & help that discovery come out of chinese networks. Good luck mate.

help on Manila 2D

Hi im searching for this Manila 2D but i cant find it i tried to so can someone nicely give me a shot cut to download it plz and .cab
And i was going to do it from hyperdragon III but i dont know how to hack im new to this and if someone can give me some help whit easier instructions it would be grate
thx and plz don't send bad messages im still new
Try using the search function above. It works well. There are lots of posts here on Manila 2D. (I'm not being mean...just practical. )
It's not so easy to find an easy way to install this if you don't know how to search or navigate on the Internet (which you should learn). Try search for manila 2D all in one cab or something and someone delete this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
Don't worry, you did good in posting in this section Just download the intire zip and extract to your phone. There is a readme file that instructs you how to. My advice is to download the update 14 or 15. Easy installs. There is also a skin thread to add different looks to it. Hope that helps
Before SEARCH, it's essential that you FIND YOUR PHONE

Hi, I know that 99 out of 100 people recommend SEARCH -- and it's true, search is essential. But I have found that the one most impt thing to do BEFORE search is to "FIND YOUR PHONE" here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
Most people do not realize that when you scroll down this main page, you see specific phone models, and with each phone model, there are way more specific sets of Help Guides for how to do practically anything WITH YOUR PHONE. That's the biggest differentiator of all on this site. Incredible apps are made and people see screenshots, and want these things for THEIR phones. But sometimes they have not yet been developed for myour phone.
So I recommend: find your phone, and re-post your question about manila 2D there. I a positive someone will help you.
good luck!

Everytime someone asks a question like this, I always go to their profile to see what they have been doing to help themselves. I have got to tell you George, it reads like " I'm here, I haven't read a thing, don't even know where the search button is, now everybody help me with my phone."
" I'm searching for Manila 2D and I can't find anything " Seriously ?
At some point, George, you have to stop posting , stop starting threads,(3 new threads, in 9 posts ; I have 633 posts and only 5 threads, 2 of which were FYI threads) and start reading and searching and helping yourself.
Start reading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45

THX MAN it worked smootly thx

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Seek the help of an expert : arrrghhh

Hello
I have looked in all the forums speaking Arabic, I could not find anybody knows anything about this device never
They could not help me, they did not know many of this device
But I have hope of finding a solution to my problem in this forum wonderful
I want help in how to add Arabic to external keyboard for this device
I want to write in Arabic using the external keyboard to the device and not touch
It has been 3 weeks on the weary search in all the forums, but without the benefit due to lack of experts for this device
Help me please,
I apologize about the markedly bad language and expression
​
Not sure why you're calling me out specifically... I've told you repeatedly this is an English speaking forum - and I speak English. I don't speak Arabic. I use the keyboard to write, surprise! In English.
So if you want help with Arabic, you are going to have to ask in another forum or wait for someone else to answer you (which I mentioned in another thread that is unlikely for the reasons above).
Good luck.

Saying that people around here don't know about the device is absurd. We don't lack experts here, but since XDA is an English-only forum, almost nobody uses and cares about Arabian and therefore failed to help you in that particular way.
Feel free to let out your anger and turn to elsewhere for help.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11​
Since JellyBean, it's easy to add custom keyboard layouts, they can be made available to system via a simple application.
For CM11 (which should support Arabic and other RTL languages quite well), I include AsantiKeypad application for that purpose - https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_motorola_moto_msm8960/tree/cm-11.0/AsantiKeypad
But to create an Arabic layout for the Photon Q keypad, it needs someone who's able to understand the glyphs and who's able to create the appropriate map.
If you know an already existing Arabic keyboard layout map made for Droid4, it could be easily incorporated in AsantiKeypad app.
Or try to make it from scratch, I'll merge it if I'll find the time for it and you'll keep bothering me about it long enough .

But you're the only one who mastered dealing with this device,
I've asked several forums in Arabic but not without interest did not find any response
Do you kindly help me?

We have created this forum for the exchange of information and help others regardless of tone or intellectual differences
We are all human beings and there is no need for racist ..
I hope some of their responses to be stimulatory or an encouraging
not disappointing
I have the highest thread I did not find a solution in other forums
This is what forced me to put my problem here, because of the lack of experts for this device
I wish I could show some sportsmanship and high morals my friend
This is the forum to help others regardless of cultures
If were not able to solve the problems of others, there is nothing wrong, but I hope not to interfere

Thank you kabaldan
I have excelled in reply and facilitated more and gave me new hope towards the development of this device
But is there any additives
For example, some instructions and tips about this application
I want simplified explanation

What are you taking other devs for (especially those behind the scenes doing ground work for CM11 and other custom ROMs, like @kabaldan )?

True, although this forum is created with only English in mind, you often see people from other non-English countries or people that don't use English around here. I'm a Chinese myself so I partially understand why you're here for help - because we lack help in our home countries' forums.
However, as we're aware that both this forum and Android aren't made for all languages and cultures, even when we ask or answer questions in other languages, the question will be related to the phone itself, like how you fix reboots, how you flash a ROM, etc. These discussions have no language boundaries and can be understood by all.
As of your problem, it naturally involves another language which most people around here don't understand, and you see, forcing devs to learn a language and do the job only to fulfill a single request isn't realistic.
Talking about @kabaldan 's solution, he said that AsantiKeypad can import keyboard layouts, but he also said that there should be an Arabic layout available for importing first, which I Googled for you and sadly found nothing relevant. So, just like what he said, if there's none existing, then you have to find a dev who understands Arabic to write one up for you. Good luck with that.
