I guess you found this forum by searching on net. So you could use same method on the forums too. Just a simple search would give you excellent results.

Don't take it personally.

Was recommended this forum from a friend off BBS air guns he said it was a great forum where the people are very helpful and this is the place to fined all I need for my phone.
I have had a look through but it all seems gobblygook to me I just know I will end up doing something to my phone of shouldn't

Get registered at freeware pocket pc then download oMarket on your phone. It is a free app marketplace similar to WM marketplace. Also, go to hd2apps blog. Tons of apps and games (all free), best site imo. If you like to know people's recommended apps, go to TMobile HD2 forum, there are several threads there dedicated for that, just do a search. That is where newbies should go first before dabbling into XDA as in my opinion this forum is more for relatively advanced users...for tweaking and customization, a little less on apps and games.

Cheers for that

Welcome to the HD2 world here on XDA.
I totally understand how everything can be/is confusing at first. Having the phone for a day or so and not knowing what is out there to do even a general search. Reading the posts here will give you a general knowledge of the cab files that will enhance and customize your new phone to your liking. It really isnt that hard once you start playing around a bit.
Might I suggest bookmarking this forum, and keeping an eye on it. Lots of stuff here to do to your phone. Also read though all the posts in the "post your leo today screens" thread. tons of stuff there, and everyone shares what they have.
Please do remember the search feature is your friend. New threads with the same old questions that have been posted and answered 50 times will most likely only get you a few pointed responses.
Hope you enjoy your new HD2 phone and your time here.

Friend off an Airgun forum??
Bet he's got some really silly username trying to make himself sound like some crack shot hero too hasn't he? Sad. Very sad.
Don't worry mate, they're not all that unfriendly on here, as the other two posters have proved.
This place can be a bit daunting, just read lots for a few days and it'll start becoming clear, drop me an email or PM on here if you get stuck.
What sort of stuff are you looking for?

Finding my way round got some top apps already my phone is starting to become mine now
Have seen some pics on here where the phone has a smart looking top bar where the start and signal strength is anyone know a link to where I can find one. Have look for one but don't know what it's called
Cheers sniper-wolf for the heads up, name can't be as bad as mine

Hey livebaituk,
Have you formatted the card before using it? Try that first....
Otherwise, did you buy it from eBay?? I had the same problem with the one I got from there, did a quick test on it and it turned out to be fake!
Use the program below to test the memory card and see if that's the problem....
(you will need to have a microSD convertor to use direct with your computer, either to usb or to SD if you have a SD card reader).
That's all I can think of, hope that helps,

Need help with Touch Flo Cube for the Tilt

I am an absolute upgrading noob. I have never done anything like this before nor have I even attempted it. So I was hoping someone would please be able to help me. If someone could even take the time to walk me through these processes I would be eternally grateful.
A gentleman came into my store with the Touch Flo Cube application running on his Tilt and I fell in love. The gentleman gave me the name of the program and sent me online to do a little research first. Well, long story short I ended up here and I was told this was one of the best places to go. So, I had quite a few very noobish questions and I was hoping that you guys could help me and would be gentle. I am very concerned because I have never done this before and everywhere I look there are very big warnings about "bricking your device". I have already gone through one Tilt due to liquid, and I do not want to go through another. So please please help me out here guys.
So, I have found a place to download the Touch Flo Cube from. The gentleman that I spoke to on htcwiki.com said that all I needed to do was install the application to my Tilt's internal memory, and then once I open the folder it would self install. Do I store this to it's own individual Folder? Or do I store it to a certain folder in the device? Does the device have to be unlocked in order to run the application?(Mine currently is locked to at&t Wireless USA)
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to view websites similar to the i-phone?
Will the Touch Flo Cube enable me to watch Youtube videos and other online videos? If not, how do I do so?
Also, I went to download the application, and it said that if I didn't buy some content that after 90 days my stuff would be deleted. Does this meant that after 90 days my application will be deleted off of the device? This might be a really really dumb question, but I just simply don't know the answer. Sorry

no it will not brick your phone
it will install on its own
no it will not make you view websites like the iphone or watch videos on you tube..you need to get TCPMP video player and the video bundle to do so
and that cube is prolly some 3rd party program that you buy...there is a cube application that is completly free...
the cube is just a cube that has shortcuts to programs and your favorite people...

I agree. This was a quick, informative reply without any attitude. For someone to ask such noob questions because the can't be bothered reading this site for more than a few minutes he should be lucky. Questions like this get answered every other day and just bog down the fourm.
Please do a lot more reading of this site so that you actually understand how to flash a ROM before you go a head and brick your phone. I'd say at least for a few days rather than a few minutes!

I wish you all the luck and hope you get what you're looking for, but, seriously, you couldn't use search and read for a little? Anything you wanna learn how to do is provided in Stickies, Wiki's, and Search. I had NO idea how to flash a ROM or where to start when I first got here. I just started reading thread after thread until I started to grasp what needed to be done. I understand you're anxious to get your device all modded and the way you want it, but unless you invest the time to understand what you're doing, jumping into this is NOT the way to go. Next thing you'll be doing is starting ANOTHER thread because something went wrong and your device got bricked. Do you wanna go w/o a phone for x amount of days until you either figure it out or buy another one? Doubtful. So read, read, and keep reading. Everyone is here to help, but they're also sick of people making their first post exp[ecting people to hold their hands and do everything for them. Good luck.

COD Nazi Zombies

Played this on a friends Iphone today looked amaing. Wonder why they haven't brought it out for the high end WM devices. Im sure it would be capable of playing it. Can anybody port it over? Guessing this is probably to much to ask. Might email activision and ask them.
I don't think I've ever enjoyed a FPS on a touch screen phone, the controls are just ergh

There we go again ... ,,saw that on iphone,, ehhh why not buy one then ? Anyway, to give you an alternative and without being so bitter, try out FPSECE (i recommend the full version which you will automatically get if you donate 5 euros, not that much for a great app) you can find it here :http://fpsece.net/ (along with all the instructions in the forum)
You can play games like Quake 2 (if you like shooters) or almost any other PS1 games - developers there do a fantastic job. All you need are some .iso images.

I already have FPSece which I think is great but just because I want COD on my phone doesn't mean I want an Iphone its a game I'm after not an apple piece of crap. Thanks for the advice tho. To be honest tho the graphics on the COD Nazi Zombies game were simply amazing and as the spec of Xtrakt. If Xtrakt can just on the HD2 theres no reason a version of the COD game couldn't be created for it. Would also like to add I already have the supporters version running with multitouch and G Sensor capability.
It being possible on the hardware doesn't mean it will be developed for the hardware.
It's just life....just suck on it and move on.

Was only asking a simple question. Don't think some of you retards understand theres wanting something for your phone thats on another but not wanting the other phone. I see this all the time peoples negative responses saying why don't you just get an iphone but I love my HD2. Theres just some things that should be possible I would like to add to it without getting an Iphone as i'm really not interested in them.
I agree, I played this on an iPhone and was amazed by it, the PS1 emulator is brilliant, but it doesnt compare to playing Nazi Zombies! and its very intuitive and works very well!

That's because most devs only see $$$ signs with the iPhone platform and the general media thinks that the current Windows Mobile 6.5(.x) is basically a "dead in the water" platform, hence the lack of interesting games taking advantage of newer hardware.
If you want good stuff on your WM phone, bug the devs. Otherwise you're stuck with jumping on the iPhone bandwagon, sadly.

Won't be jumping on the iphone bandwaggon to much of a messer and your stuck with it the way it is unless you jailbreak. Much prefer my HD2 just want the Nazi Zombie game
Hey Jammie_1989 chill up. There's some people who are too stereotype or more like 'handphone+racist' = "phonecist?".
LOL nvm about that, only way to get your game is either to ask or beg the developer to make on WinMo or wait for a genius to port it.
I agree, I've seen some brilliant IPhone apps. However I've not ever considered getting one. In fact I get quite insulted when people see my HD2 and say "is that an IPhone?" to which I reply "No it fu*king isn't"..
It's no wonder developers create tons for the iPhone, it's an easy way to cash in. Just a shame WM is left behind in this aspect a little. I still wouldn't change my HD2 for any other phone, especially iPhone.
I think it's unfair of some people to insult someone, or say "go get an IPhone" just for simply asking about a game or program. Granted a lot of HD2 users seem to be ex IPhone users, I've seen posts where people just seem to want the HD2 exactly like the iPhone. Some people on XDA get very touchy when you mention the iPhone, wonder why...
Just annoys me when they say 'Go buy an Iphone' If I had wanted one I would have one lol Not exactly a helpful answer.

And it's a very simple answer. You want it doesn't mean you'll get it. That's life. Mainly for marketable reasons, but what's the point of explaining it to you as you don't seem to have a grasp of proper language.
And since you call people retards for telling you the facts of life, maybe it's only fitting that I can tell you as a fact that you'll NEVER see this game on HD2 for sure, in the similar form as on the Iphone. I bet my life on it.

THERE IS NO WAY YOU'LL GET THAT GAME ON HD2. Unless the conglomerate that developes it decides to throw a bone to Winmo, which will be the day hell freezes over.
Put it nicely to you, you don't get it. Tell you the facts, you brand them as unhelpful. WTF do you want from us? We don't exactly poop COD Nazi Zombies out our arses just because you want it. Grow some common-sense please.

Go get an iphone isn't a valid responce. Wasn't like I was asking the question how can I make my phone be an Iphone. It's like Xbox and PS3 the game will play on both but I want the Xbox not the PS3. Shouldn't be to hard and was asking a simple question. I liked your responce about FPSece as It is good but doesn't match the quality of the COD game on Iphone.
This guy has come here to ask a simple question and he ends up getting flamed! What's wrong with some people!?!? This forum has some very very good and helpfull people, It is also full of people who have nothing better to do than sit and go through posts looking for people to flame.

Well said Thank You
Flaming hot
I agree,
Too many *kids* on here get stiff when someone says they want specific soft that may be apple related.
God damn it.
There may have been some sort of equiv game from other publisher or other ideas - or using Call of Duty on PS1 emulator....Or just to say "yay I love Nazi zombies"
- Personally I play world at war Nazi Zombies (PS3) and I love it. Would love something similar on my phone.
There are countless replies that could be given.
Go get an iphone is a childish, pointless, unhelpfull and flaming reply.
(reply)
all i have to say is i love my phone and i have an xbox 360 but the thing is i want it to be portable it is an awsome game and there is no reason that it shouldnt be on windows mobile...

Ok, I want to take matters into my own hands...HELP :-)

Funny title huh Seriously though, I am tired of the hit and miss of live wallpapers, and other apps working or not working on my beloved Hero, that being said what I have desperately been trying to do is learn Java(a live wallpaper not sticking when all my others do is what started this, it's dumb I know) so I can start programming things to work for our phone(or at least try). I have spent 2 days looking for a good way to learn Java, I have been all over the net hunting for an interactive Java tutorial and have come up empty handed, I found a couple PDFs as well as some online tutorials but they don't explain everything(it seems like they all assume you already know some Java or programming), I am a total beginner and need it all explained, preferably with hands on. I am a fast learner when things are explained and taught properly, I think I could excel at this, so I figure this community is the best place to ask for advice on how and where to proceed, so come on guys help me out what is the best way for a total beginner to proceed, how did you all start, where did you go for help? Again, I am only asking here because I really have spent 2 days looking for a proper tutorial and come up empty handed...THANKS!!
Oh, I can skype if some saintly person feels like teaching.
edit:this is what started my obsession http://www.mediafire.com/?jiynwdnmc1z out of the 6 I have this is the only one that wont stick, so I figured why not try to re-build it my self after comparing it to the ones that do stick(it does run perfectly, just wont stick)
Well if you are a total newbie to programming my best advice is goto your local book store or half-price books(used book store) and find a book on java programing probly too first one would be java progamming for dummies and the second one a more adavaced book go though both of them do the lesson in there and learn by doing best way to do it and then check out the froyo thread for the irc room and if you get stuck ask someone in there oh on here your direct question if you do your homework and give a detialed description of what your working on more people are going to try and help you but this is just my two cents and the extend of my attempt at advice good luck and hope to see your name on an op soon
Wow, I gotta say, I do like that lwp a lot man. Thanks for posting the link to it Good luck on learning Java man. It's not too hard, but once you start scripting with it etc... that's a whole different story, lol
It's good to see someone wants to stop putting up with stuff not working and make it work Honestly, I'd just go to your local library, and check out a bunch of stuff on Java... that's what I did with Python
It's going to take a lot of reading and trial and error to learn java. But a little heads up, the live wallpapers that don't stick, is a driver issue, not a programming issue. I don't know enough about android, so unless there is a line you can add to the header to force software rendering, you can't do much about it.
Sent from my Hero CDMA using XDA App
Thanks for the responses guys! I really didn't think of grabbing a Dummies book, I figured there would be a good course online, but that's what I'm going to get first thing tomorrow. I figure once I get familiar with it all(maybe a week or two) I will compare the ones that work with the one that doesn't and go from there. I think the first app I would like to work on would be a request from the forum, you guys all help and give back, I think that would be a great way to put the knowledge to good use Well, thanks again, I'm still open to more suggestions, maybe a couple weeks from now I can at least give you guys a neat wallpaper!

Not to rain on your parade or anything, but the wallpaper you are working on is a pirated upload of a paid LWP in the market. The original author of the LWP would probably be happy to help paid customers get it working.
I'm all for you learning how to code up some cool stuff for the community, and I wish you the best, but stealing other people's stuff isn't the way to go.
hmm, was not intentionally "stealing" I paid for it, the developers response is " LWP's don't work on hero, sorry" so I thought I would try to make it work for me, I'm pretty sure if I could provide a way for hero users to use it they would all gladly pay the $1 as I did, as it stands I "pirated", yet another, unusable app, hey hero users come get your free, unusable, paid app

That's cool...your OP links to a mediafire download for a paid app, so I didn't realize you knew it was paid. It's lame that the guy won't fix it, but I guess those of us slumming it on the hero have to get used to doing things ourselves, eh? Good luck to you...it is a cool LWP.
That wallpaper sticks just fine on my hero. Running Aloysius 2.1 maps version.

Well if you are a total newbie to programming my best advice is goto your local book store or half-price books(used book store) and find a book on java programing probly too first one would be java progamming for dummies and the second one a more adavaced book go though both of them do the lesson in there and learn by doing best way to do it and then check out the froyo thread for the irc room and if you get stuck ask someone in there oh on here your direct question if you do your homework and give a detialed description of what your working on more people are going to try and help you but this is just my two cents and the extend of my attempt at advice good luck and hope to see your name on an op soon

Aint you helpful
Last I checked, this whole site is pirated. If you think about it. It's basically a whole guide on how to hack phones and get free apps. So why are you even putting it out there that the guy is pirating. LOL. Doesn't make any sence but I thought I'de throw that in there.

You best be Trolling
wow, I seriously apologize for all of this, all I wanted to do was give back to our community, I have been taking for a year plus & thought it was time to step it up a notch, I did not want to start fights, sorry, if any mods want me to take it down I will.(oh,I really paid for it, that's my mediafire account,after it didn't work I pulled it off my phone to try and work with it.) I'm getting my books now, if I get stuck I hope I can post my questions, thanks again guys!

First off theycallmegq. This site does not promote pirating anything. Read the forum rules posted by binary. Who might just ban you if your not careful.
That being said. I would highly recommend the for dummies set of books for starters. Thats what im doing with linux and programming. Also there is a book specifically on the android platform and development at the book stores as well. Last i checked in the computer at barnes and noble i think it was they were coming out with a new one i think had to do with java and android. There was also a post in here a while back about learning development after you have an understanding of the basics at least. Might want to search for that after a couple of weeks. Good luck with your adventure. Im sure the creator of the lwp wouldnt mind you helping make it better.
I think the poster used an unfortunate choice of words. If this was a site concerning iphone OS development it definately would be considered hacking. Modifying Apple OS in anyway is a NO NO! It was hard for me "At first" to get past the "Openess" of Android. Thats why we sould be screaming anytime we see E-fuses in phones (Motorola) or No sideloading of Apps (AT&T). I for one am thankful to be able to have source code to work with and a group such as this one to help out. My little hero is thankful too ... Without you guys I would have an EVO by now...
As far as Java Programming, do a search on "Java Tutorial". Theres a lot at your finger tips.
Try:
www.javapassion.com
just recently changed to a subscription based site, but first few chapters of each class are free to try and learn, even have an android class strarting at the end of the month.
That LWP works fine for me too.

streaming divx

streaming divx from http sites without alternate programs works on g2x out of box. i had never got this to work before but after i tried rockplayer on my droid again and if i chose download from the site instead of watch it did work on the droid too, wish i had tried that earlier , but its working on g2x without any additional programs.
Hope this helps out someone. if the site gives a watch or download choose the download the watch will still give you the blue lego but if you choose download it will start playing.

yes i know this. and i expected it to play div files playing a file and streaming a file are 2 differnt things. if you already knew this great . how about not giving a smart ass answer and moving on. and let people that didnt know this find out.
of course all developers come here but i only visted to find little things and see waht was new. and work with a couple developers here. i never spent this amount of time as i have the last week reading regarding the G2x and im extrememly disapointed at what is allowed to go on here. i have never seen such childish me me behavior on any other forum. i dont think i have seen 1 thread without someone trolling it, telling someone they are stupid for having an opinion, or just rude comments and behaviors.
glad you knew this from the back of the box im happy for you but i bet there are many that didnt realize it would stream without an addon program. hopefully someday i will be as smart as you.

its a forum(trolls everywhere you go0
its the internet (trolling sense 1995)
you make sarcastic remarks (dont pet the trolls they bite)
me me me me me me
END TROLLING SEQUENCE NOW.........good bye
sad
anyways back to the actual topic . if anyone else tried this i am seeing a pause about every 8 seconds watching the divx stream . im on my wifi but the router may be hosed it does say buffer occasionally when these freezees occur but not always. wonder if anyone else is getting the same or if they have a good steady stream. will try it on 4g tommorow when im at work in a 4g area.
thanks

Woah calm down, sparky. It wasn't a smart response. I was just sharing your joy about divx and pointing out that the logo is on the back of the box - which is a rarity for Android phones.

stagevu was the site i was using just choose download to any video rather than watch. im pretty sure the pauses were just buffering issues just trying to make sure. also this phone is very quite compared to the droid not sure its loud enough for me will see how it goes over the next week.
thanks for the response.
