I know its here somewhere...... - General Questions and Answers

Right off the bat, let me apologize for being such a noob. But for the life of me, I cant seem to find out how to actually dual boot WinMo and Android on my TMOUS htc hd2. I have searched using every term and phrase i can think of and nothing. Please keep in mind that I am not only new to this type of stuff, but to forums as well. So then I tried to find out how to flash a rom and radio, and come up empty there too. I couldn't even find if thats all the steps to change a phone. I am willing to learn, WANT to learn, but need a little boost to get started. I am supremely interested in figuring out how to use Ubuntu on my hd2 (thats what my main computer is), but i figure thats probably harder than the rest so i didn't even search it. Please no comments on how noobish I am please. I am already aware of this fact. And if i posted this in the wrong place, or this kind of question is not allowed, moderators feel free to delete or move it (not that you need MY permission). Thanks in advance for any help on this matter, and as I said at the beginning, please forgive my noobishness.

Another Question.....
Another question I wanted to ask that I haven't yet found an answer to was whether or not a computer has to be used for anything other than loading files onto the SD card, and if so, are the programs running on the computer compatible with linux? If not, are they able to run on wine? Again any help is greatly appreciated.

Used to be new too

Check out the stickies
Don't lurk on that phone so don't know if they have a wiki setup. Most likely do. Most phone's have wiki sections that if you read em will all the info you need. You said you're open and want to learn, keep that up.
For reference on searching, the search system is setup like a/the forum sub section, kinda like a file system.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=631
Use the "search this forum" button here on this page to do a search on just that phone's forum. If you use the same button on the accessories main page, it will just search that phone's acc forum. Same goes if you search the xda main forum page, you'll be searching everything.
I did notice yesterday and today the search was acting up, giving me 0 results for topics I know are here, then just searched for general things like case and unlock, still nothing. That may have been the problem you were having, too.
Good Luck

Thank You
That was the problem I was having. I would search, but come up with no or very few results. Thank you for your help. I didn't read all the stickies or even check the wiki, like i said, I'm a noob. Well, far as I am concerned this thread can be closed.

you just responded to it. just kidding. seriously though, i couldn't agree more. give some indication of what your looking for/need help with in your title.
Thread title changed!
(hopefully it's clear enough)
search for softkeyapplet.cpl
read the information on Smartskeys in this thread. some of the custom rom builders have it pre-installed in their roms, since the program definitely helps with one handed use.

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.

Storage/Memory Card Help with HTC-thanks!

This is my first time asking for help on here. One thing I have learned after being on here less than 3 months, is that it drives the XDA techs/experts ABSOLUTELY CRAZY when people ask for help when many of them do NOT bother to take the time to research to see the answers have either already been posted or asked.
Also, many people do not EVEN BOTHER TO RESEARCH for squat..........and that is putting it politely. I have helped provide answers already to some people and ALWAYS do my research first, which is why I have never had to ask for help. So, THANK YOU to all of those who have helped people like me solve simple to complex problems without the need to bother anyone. BUT NOW I NEED HELP...sad to say.......and I should know this but I am confused after spending the last 3 hours reading up and down and typing every which way to find my answer: so any help is much appreciated from me, whom by the way is a huge fan of this site.
-------------------------------------------------
My Question Is This:[/SIZE] How do I use my brand new 16gb storage card to be used as the default for EITHER all files, apps and other things or just for my programs and my documents?????
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So far, I only copied all the My Documents into the storage card. From reading all the other posts, some people just move my doc and programs.
Is there a way I can make the storage card my default my docs and programs? If so, what other apps or files/folders do I need to move over the the storage card that may be associated with these?
I understand some things will use the internal memory on the phone but I would like to AUTOMATICALLY download straight to storage card all programs and use my docs as my DEFAULT.
What registry keys do I need to tap into to change these options and what do I do? I am not worried about the storage card lagging since I use my phone to mainly make calls, but I hate the poor storage on the phone that limits me from downloading all of my favorite tools. I already have some main things I know I will need: Rescoe Explorer and Registy Programs and will be downloading Cab Installation Program.
-------------------------------------------------------
I extremely apologize if my post is long but I rather write it out in plain English and have a few people help me who know what they are doing versus having people not understand the questions (I notice some people do not know how to ask their questions right, which lead to confusing answers and butt jokes from people)..........I prefer the former.
Again, I appreciate all the help I can get. I ask only one last thing, PLEASE if you respond to make sure you know how to answer. I rather prefer the answers from the techs/experts who have already done these on their phones with good results. Thank you XDA for all of your hard work and efforts.

How does tools in cooking sets work?

Hello,
I have question about what is everything in NBH - I mean what is os.nb.payload, os.nb.extra, XIP and such, I tried searching but couldn't find anything to it, where someone would explain what it actually is, how does it work, what can I change in it, how do it etc.
And also I got question about how to insert pkg's into cook ROM, just copy it there?
Then also how does BuildOS.exe works (building registry, "copying" everything to dump from all folders etc).
I mean like explaining everything so anyone could learn from it the lowest basics of cooking. I'm interested in it and want to make completely new cooking kit, but I can't find anything about it.
Hope someone finds who can explain at least something of it.
Thanks a lot!
PS: Maybe it will be better Hacking & Developing section?
did you search in the dev & hack forum?
man! you don't ask those questions here. either not in hacking.
only answer you'll get is ban from moderator.
It's kind of rude to ask in forum with milions of msgs in archives basic questions. Use search. look around, you'll find nice wiki in here too! with step-by-step and lot's of stuff to put in.
ok, but as i just start another post about nothing...
you'll get nice general idea from very basic kitchen. get a "kaiser_kitchen"
or better, "KaiserCook v1 Yardie.Spike's" it's just copy of the same, but you'll have more recent utils there.
go through wiki "how to cook" in kaiser section.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
you'll find everything there.
and get the last htc rom. not from at&t, get this from htc: 3.34.721.2
if you want to know everything, open batch (cmd) in text edit and watch it working.
It's really simple with all those pretty tools from nice guys here on forum.
a kdyby neco napis private only cos here EN ONLY.
I'm not sure I wrote it good what I'm really looking for, I'm feeling a bit dizzy so I will try to explain it (sorry for it):
I want to found out how does the "Building registry" or how does it work everything in BuildOS.exe and such works, but I couldn't find source (bepe doesn't want to share it I've found). That's why I'm asking, because I couldn't find it. Not because I want to know what tool what does, but HOW does the tool does it. I tried searching, believe me, but there's plenty of pages that talks only about "click on play button and when it says Done, close it", but none of them says how does it actually work, what it loads and saves, in what directory structure.
// Ooh, I got it what's it about - I've written it once, but I managed to find "what is what" things and wanted to left only "how does work", but send both of it, sorry!

I am not sure if I can answer all the questions you have! But try searching using the link in my sign, and you can usually find what you want. I am sure all the questions you have has been answered before. Good luck!
Perhaps looking at this thread, the general Kitchen and then TPC/Josh' Kitchen thread will bring better understanding.
Reverse Engineering is tough IMHO, and lots of the tools are developed by people with skill and having the tools and guts to try it out. The knowledge are gathered by experience.
what questions exactly would you like to know?
I was thinking about "higher" tools like BuildOS.exe how do they work, currently just only this one, but now I have some thoughts about doing reverse ingeneering, so I will try something myself first. But if anyone knows answer to BuildOS.exe working:
- processing OEM, SYS and ROM (=> just only recursively copy?)
- "Building registry" - take all .rgu and .provxml and put them in one? Or just only .rgu and .provxml save separately?
PS: Yes, I can read .bat-s from kitchen and such, I tried to do something, but it's always "run this program, click on this and then close" and didn't manage to google anything about the process in BuildOS.exe ^.
PPS: Actually I'm interested in cooking via TPC & Joshkoss kitchen - pretty awesome tho. Deleting unneeded stuff from SYS is fun. (Testing on emulator.) And you don't need to know the building process (actually when not knowing it you can still just rewrite somebody's kitchen with some tweaks). But I'm just only curious as many people is.

[Q] Modify Services.jar for Battery Percentage

Hey, I've been "googling" for a couple days now trying to find how to do this and even searching the forum but any posts I find say download this and flash. However, I'm developing for the LG Ally, so I know for a fact without even trying those services.jar files listed on those "how-to" threads will not work. I understand some of you dont like to help others when they have really low post counts, but I don't come here often because of there being no support for the LG Ally. All I am looking for is what files to modify and what modifications to make on how to do this. Please, just point me in the right direction if you can help, and don't say "use the search function". As I said, I have already used the aforementioned search function to no avail. If I missed something when i was searching, which is possible as I am only human, please point me to it.
Thanks.
And in case you were curious about my post history and all that, i usually post over at androidforums.com just search the user database for this username and you will find me.
Thanks again in advance.
If this is vague i apologize and will help clear it up if need be.
