In need of help.

I have just got a 8925 but i want to add some roms to it: ultimate launch, pocket cm, ifonz, & iphone interface. I am not sure of the best way to do this. Should they be added all at the same time, or do i have to add them one by one? Also i am not sure how to unlock the phone so that I can add these apps to the device. I have searched the forums and I haven't found a tutorial for this.
Any ideas?
Take a better look...
This is the first post on the ROM area.
Everything you need is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=383904
Rom's
These are not rom's ....these are programs.....Rom's ....is changing the software inside your phone...what you are asking , you can find them reading the WIKI. the programs you listed are cab. files.......read the wiki
Peace

I'd go back a stage further - read lots, starting with our forum rules. Don't post the same simple question in 2 or 3 forums - it DOES get you noticed, but pisses off other members who have to read your un-researched drivel twice.

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?

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.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Please tell me what should i do first in the fourm?

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!

Hi and also welcome to this great forum
as far as i know your XV6700 seems to be a HTC Apache
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=705&c=verizon_xv6700_htc_apache
I would read anything regarding to Wikis (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Apache) and References in the Apache-Forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=252)

GREETINGS

HI all new here i have a HTC HD2 love the phone. i found some apps on this site, like the torch one went to download it but was told i could not, any help on this would be great. What games would be recomended for this phone just to show off the display and speed?
Welcome aboard
have a look on Leo section, you´ll find all you need to know there
Read, Search, respect and Enjoy!

I know its here somewhere......

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.
