Proposal for a sticky thread - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Hi guys I'm new on TD2, I know very few about it and about applications that I could have so I'm trying to find all the most useful applications available for the TD2!
Do you think it would be useful for all users make a sticky thread with the list of all the most useful or the best application and a small explanation of their features?
Cheers

Couldn't agree more. I can recommend many great programs, and want to find more great programs. A sticky thread is VITAL.
Admins, please consider this.

In the ROM subforum, there is a rollup thread,
There is a section about useful applications,
Take a look there, and submit ;-)
You'll find most stickies in the rom forum anyway

PocketGnuBoy and high resolution PDAs 640x480

I have used pocketgnuboy for a while now to play rom files on my XDA orbit.
This had worked fine for me with no problems.
However recently i have bought a new phone which has better functions and screen resolution. The problem i now have is that PocketGnuBoy does not fullscreen and is a small square in the corner.
Does anyone know if there is a way to edit registy/pocketgnuboy or other gameboy colour emulators that would run at the full resolution of 640x480?
This is a long shot for me and any information or help would be greatly apprecicated.
i am curious how morphgear would behave on your machine...
btw there were plenty of gb emulators/versions..
Many i had tried failed with the same problem.
But i remember trying gear and it not working, but upon looking into why it wasn;t working i realised i didnt put any plugins onto it =] (silly me)
So using morph gear and it works perfect!!
And that has the feature i was looking for which can scale and fullscreen the rom!
Cheers Nothin
good luck!
I like Morphgear for the versatility, but PocketGBA is faster:

Sorry about that, I was convinced it was also for gb and gbc.
(And that this was on the Q&A area)
nir36, sorry, i just gave answer that works..
i hope you wont use "Disciplinary Action" on us, some time ago i posted thought about dev n hacking where 3/4 posts are made in improper place.
and it is still like that,a s you can see.
can't you just move that topic we are now then to proper place?
btw, i need to read q&a, idd..may be useful.
Sorry nothin if i got you into trouble =/
Apoglies for posting in the wrong place and thanks nir36 for moving it for me
This was actually my first post and i must have been blind and mis-read the topic description.
Also twolf i have found that morphgear runs much smoother than the pocketGBA Emualtor

[REF] NEW Android "Sticky" Thread | Read Before Posting | Leave Sticky Requests Here.
***In an attempt to clean up the Development & Hacking Forum we have started a D&H Wiki page.***
On this page you will find all links to the current stickies in this forum (which will be "unstickied")
There will be no stickies in D&H, so please don't ask. Go to the Wiki and put your sticky there.
As is the nature of the Wiki please feel free to edit and place a link with a short description of your post. You can also edit the appearance of the page and how it is layed out.
Hopefully you will all add your relevant links to the Wiki and update them as required.
This will, in theory, provide a one stop Index page which should, if this works, be a useful resource to all.
This will of course only work if YOU, the users, keep it up to date and clean.
Greetz and thank you for your help in getting the D&H back in to shape (it has become a little flabby yes?)
Sugestions and feedback are always welcome. This thread will be regularly cleaned, so dont be offended if your post disappears from here.

Even universal tutorials become outdated as we move on to new tools and new Operating Systems.
Besides you should check out the Sticky wiki some of the users have picked up on it and added some stuff that is not as new as most of the stickies are but may be use as much. It's working out great,

Quite right, some people have taken it on board and have edited and added content, which is great! Lets hope it continues.
This is a great idea so much easier and the forum is less cluttered with stickies now

Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.
EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?
Did you post and now you can't find it?
1. Try looking at your previous posts by using the link below (replace *userid* with your userid)
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?do=finduser&u=*userid*
or go to your profile and it is under statistics.
2. If you can't find it, it was probably deleted.
3. If you think it was deleted DO NOT POST about it. PM neoobs (me) and I will try to find it. If it was deleted by mistake I will recover it for you.
If you start a thread asking where your post/thread went, I will delete it. If you start too many of these threads, I will ban you for a week.
I am locking Tutorials to try and keep them clean, Please try to add a page to the wiki or add to another page (all hero tweaks under the page for their specific rom) with what you posted.
If you need a support question answered PM me and I will reopen it.
First post updated. Please read it
