SYMBIAN Development - General Questions and Answers

Dear developers!
Ill just hold it short.
My question to all is, is it possible to make a 'forum' for symbian?
Since symbian is open source and Symbian^3 and Symbian^4 is upcomming what also is fully open source we maybe need a place as this.
Ive got a Samsung i8910 HD (OMNIA HD) with running symbian s60v5. Its a great phone but the OS is not everything. There are some people with rom cooking etc. For example Hyperx, who is really good in this but he's like the only one who is good in this. He did also try to port android on our phone but without succes. Maybe there are some people here who can support us etc.
I know there is a forum where manny things are uploaded and in development like apps, mods, custom roms.. but it aint everything
Just let me know what you all think about it, a forum for Symbian.
Kind regards,
Ruubs

Most likely that isn't gonna happen anytime soon, but I've tried to start a forum for symbian development, seems like an EPIC FAILURE

Htc homescreen customizer

first I'd like to say this is obviously not my app but since ive seen practically no mention of it in the wizard I found the app in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308&highlight=HTC+Home+Plugin+Customizer
its a pretty popular app....

It really slows down the ppc. Altought its very good costumizer.

no i guess what i ment to say is i wanted to put a spotlight on a cool app for people who might not know its there. but if this thread is really so harmful to the wizard forum then the moderator can delete it otherwise you people can just keep bumping my thread to the top.
I think it's a good idea to have a single thread with all the software versions or something. It's a chaos now on this forum with software everywhere and everybody gives his/her thread a different name (format)
yeah , i would to thank neva dinova since i didn't find this software on the other part of this forum . anyway , i'll check it and report

samsung section/ forum would it be so bad

sorry. close this post
You might think it's not so bad; but if you give it to one, you have to do it for all and you'll get people wanting a section for Acer/Eten, iPhone, Blackberry and so on ad-infinitum.
I'd like nothing better for this forum to branch out to ALL WM based phones, but I suspect it will stay focussed on HTC devices.
well ill continue to hang out here because it is the best thing out there. but as it is I guess the samsung stuff will just end up all over the place.
I guess I still look at things via tags
never saw this sorry
This has been discussed so many times
And always getting to same conclution
This is an HTC devices only forum
You are lucky because in off topic there is a thread regarding samsung, this is the best you can expect...

This forum is already branching out to Multiple OS's on HTC Devices.. So if we started adding other WM Brands we would eventually have to envelop all wireless devices to follow suit..
Definitely better keeping the forum just htc devices.. I mean seriously there is over 1.6 million registered users with JUST HTC.. Imagine if we gave a place for the apple FanBoys to hang out.. The whole neighborhood would go to ****..

Here we go again!
I´ll say it nicely so noobs do not complain of rudness from senior members:
This is an HTC devices forum only
so there won´t be a section for any other devices!
This is the point of view from the Admins wich I support.
Respectfully,
so much hate.
it would do no harm to have a small subforum at the bottom for non HTC devices.
Not at all
All has it´s reason to be:

well said orb! hey, I kinda like the name of this samsung device
Hey!

Please dont judge all us old timers the same, i promise we're not all like that!
Whilst it is indeed a HTC specific forum for whatever reason, you will find that you will be able to get any device support as we all run the same apps and the same operating system. So, please do stay and ask O/S or general application specific questions I run an Acer M900 and an Omnia and i'm still here!
As for where you will get your roms etc, i'm afraid you will have to use google again.
can we please have the opinion of the admins too?
I think this terminal is very well build and very nice to look at. Developers in here in the end are working with the software part, developing the platform, which makes less important the hw part.
I too would like to see a i7500 subforum.. maybe open a poll to see the opinion of all developers?

If money is the problem, maybe interested people could sponsor non-HTC sections? I'd certainly donate. It would be great to hear from an admin how much we're talking about (roughly).
As I said before I think the developers are working IN THIS CASE with a PLATFORM not with the hardware.. where the transition from one terminal to another I think would be quite easy
I would be interested to donate for the development of more phones as well.. moderator's view about this would be appreciated. thx

I would also be interested to Donate for the development of more phones. I recently have a Samsung Galaxy. Before I had 2 WinMo Devices and pherhaps the Next will be a Maemo or a WinMo again .... Thats why it would be a great Idea to Donate to get in Sub Forums like Samsung I7500, Asus etc.

Windows phone 7 on htc inspire?

Hey, it may seem weird, but I was wondering if there was anyway to put windows phone 7 on the htc inspire. I wanted to get a windows 7 phone, but all the ones from AT&T suck, so I just chose this one. I like it, but it would be nice to see how this would work on it. Thanks!

and i like how everyone talks about how stupid it is to want wp7 or other OS's on an android phone...or that we should just go buy a wp7 phone if we want that. Yet when people bring up the HD2, it is the coolest phone in the world because of its 'hackability' and the fact it can run most any OS, including wp7.

Thank you for the link, I appreciate it, but unfortunately it doesn't say how to do so.
I was browsing a bit more and I noticed that the HTC desire and inspire are basically the same,so i was wondering if maybe anyone has made it for the desire.
I said to search so you can see there's (currently) no way to do this. So instead of creating a new thread, you could've posted in one of the existing threads to ask your lovely question. If there was a way, don't you think the existing threads would include the "how to"?

I agree, I remember reading that post and thinking the same thing. Phones that have the ability to boot multiple operating systems are lauded for how awesome they are, yet until it is discovered how the nay sayers drag on about how stupid that is.
I remember having an iPhone, and when they were trying to get Android to boot on it there were these huge posts about how stupid that was and why would you ever want to boot crappy Android on the holy phone...then as soon as it was booting Android people were falling over themselves to dust off the old 3G and fire up Android, then run around showing everyone how cool it was that they could dual boot.
If someone gets WP7 to boot on the Inspire, I'd love to give it a whirl. Hell, I'd even boot WM6.5 with Sense if it was possible. It just great fun.

That's the point. It was to point out this exact question had been asked fairly recently and the consensus was you can't install WP7 yet. The HD2 and Inspire/Desire HD are fairly significantly different pieces of hardware, saying the HD2 can do something why can't the Inspire is comparing apples to oranges. Not to mention, there are several other threads regarding WP7 on the Desire HD and the answers are all pretty much "no" or "not yet".
EDIT:
I never said it was stupid not to have it on the Inspire, I simply gave you the tools to come to your own conclusion that it's not currently possible.

ohhh so since they are different hardware it won't work!! right
how about when capy got the sensation rom ported to the DHD, and everyone said it wouldn't work on the HD2??? Look at that, it is booted and at the same point as the DHD rom is.
Yup, the hardware is obviously completely different...they are completely different phones. That doesn't mean wp7 will never boot on a dhd. Just takes someone with the know-how to go through with the port. ATM, i don't know of anyone even trying, but i sure wish someone would!!

Arrested and raped. They're probably just mad because it was my first post here and they thought I was a typical annoying new user. But what they don't realize is that theres also another purpose of making the thread, more threads = more demand. Someone with the knowledge might see the demand in doing so and would therefore be more interested to do it. None of the threads were on the front of the page so I don't see why it's such a big deal.

real nice attitude for a senior member...some of you need to check your attitudes at the door. All he did was ask a simple question. scoot over to the rules section and familiarize yourself with the rules. (pay close attention to the word respect) you are lacking it here. There are several people here on XDA with poor attitudes. If you don't have the patience to guide, and help others, then don't respond. Some people have a difficult time navigating the site. I've been seeing more and more of this type of treatment by senior members and it's ridiculous.
.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.

Wonderful that you took the time to write this novel.
Part of the rules is not to post multiple threads asking the same question, like the op did. He was given an answer in his 1st thread that asked the same question. So someone else needs to chill out. I always help other members when I can and others appreciate my help. I am not here to argue with anyone. Just pointed out in my other post that its been discussed and this was unnecessary. Have a nice day!

Sorry if you are that sensitive. Seriously... Move on.
The only way you MIGHT see this happen is if wp7 was released on a device with the exact same hardware as an android device.
Since the important parts of wp7 are closed source it is unlikely anyone with the ability will dedicate themselves to such a task. Much less deal with the legal consequences if they did it.
So no it isn't going to happen.

[Mod Request] "New" user posting restrictions

I've been a member of xda-dev since 2006 but have made only a few posts.
I'm interested in becoming more active and contributing as a developer, but I have some pretty strict posting restrictions because I'm a "new" user. (Post timing, edit timing, no links, etc)
Would it be possible to have these restrictions removed based on that fact that I've been a member for 6 years without incident?
Thanks,
tekkdrone
i don't think time on this board has to do with anything. you've been a member for 6 years yet only have 4 counted posts, which means you probably havent contributed much[not dissing you] to have the initial restrictions lifted

I caught that too. But I'm the noob, so maybe I'm counting posts wrong. But if I have to post over 300 posts to lift my "10 post" restriction, I'll never be able to post in the non-general forums.
Yeah, I also find the restrictions a little annoying. I've been working with Android for a few years, but I never joined up here. Now that I have, I can't be seen as a developer until I've made a certain amount of posts. Not the end of the world, but still not a very good idea considering that anyone can easily get around this.
Agreed.
Yesterday, I was forced to PM a ROM developer regarding a serious issue since I wasn't able to post in the thread.

Not that I fall into this category or anything, but what is the post count to post as a developer?
This is the first forum I've been on with these kinds of restrictions. I find it odd.
The post count restriction is for those users that only join to spam the development threads with "MY CAMERA DOESN'T WORK. WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?!!?!!!!!1"
If you want the restrictions lifted, just follow a thread and join the conversation.

Neither of those comments will be remotely useful to a developer or to a development thread.
If you were posting something along the lines of
I have recently installed your ROM v3.1 and have encountered a problem with synchronizing my calendar if I am running application 'Z'. I have rolled back to v3.0 and this problem didn't exist. I have also tried various other ICS ROMs and don't get the same problem.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and you had searched the thread fully to ensure that nobody else had reported the problem and it wasn't listed in the 'Known Issues' at the start of the thread ...
... then the post might be worthwhile making.
I am a regular on the HTC Desire S forums - and all we seem to get at the moment are newbies asking the same
why doesn't the camera work?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why can't I use Wi-Fi Tether
Click to expand...

and so on - problems that are well known to exist in every ICS-based ROM on our platform.
These sort of questions just cause anger and waste time - both for the devs who are trying to do a fantastic job for free and the people who actually want to join in and have the capability to help the devs with testing and troubleshooting.
I hope that you understand a bit clearer now. I, personally, don't think the 10 post limit is enough. I don't believe any XDA member should be able to post into the dev threads unless they have been approved by at least one dev - based on previous posts, helping other users and general attitude.

I am a regular on the HTC Desire S forums - and all we seem to get at the moment are newbies asking the same
and so on - problems that are well known to exist in every ICS-based ROM on our platform.
These sort of questions just cause anger and waste time - both for the devs who are trying to do a fantastic job for free and the people who actually want to join in and have the capability to help the devs with testing and troubleshooting.

You're absolutely right, and I apologize for the way I have written the comments, what happens is you get into the threads of the developers and people write what I wrote, and I've more or less copied. It's a very good forum and to continue so, and I apologize if I offended anyone has.

simply join conversations and contribute, that's all there is to it
don't fight the system, work with it :angel:
Tread Closed. I would recommend PMing a senior mod directly about this matter.
