Hello, i am new to this site i just wanted to take a minute out to say hello to everyone. I have a htc touch pro that i have been using for a little over a yr and been using it as a phone only. Lately i have been reading on the web about different things people have done to there phone. I am hoping you guys can teach me some of the cool things i can do to my phone. The first thing i was wondering is it possible to make my touch pro into a wifi hot spot? Any feed back is appreciated. thanks guys....
Welcome to the forum.
Veronica will be your server. Can I start you off with a drink?
Obviously you should start HERE. And read read read and utilize the wonderful search function. And remember the only stupid question is the one that has been asked and answered many times before.
If you find yourself with any spare time stop in over HERE.
good day.

Has anyine managed to do a ROM like the new HTC Touch PDA? Would this work on my XDA Exec? Or can someone help me put the iphone theme on my XDA.
Thanks
Come on, at least look on the same page before you ask questions. The same thin's being asked further down.
Basic answer is tough luck for now, nobody has made VGA versions of either.

Thanks alot bulldog.
AJ Im very new to this forum so please excuse me, if someone else has posted the same question. It would be nice if u were to keep you comments civil.
Oh I'm so sorry, I had no idea being new somewhere means you are unable to read the other questions posted on the very same page.
I'll bear this in mind from now on.
Thanks to enlightening me to this terrible affliction that must strike users with less than several days, or posts on their profile.
now now ladies, back to your corners.
Hello ladies and gentlemen my name is Ani, I am from New York. I recently got the Touch Pro for Sprint users with cdma and its a pretty good device except for a couple of things here and there. I found this site from howardforums.com they dont have anything over there about this phone. I Keep reading posts about rom's and tweaks that i can do to make my tp faster and more responsive but i must admit i am such a noob, i dont understand a damn thing. I am pretty good at PC's to some extent, i just dont want to mess my phone up. Now to the real problem, the tp has been good, but slow as you all know, everytime i do a soft reset my cpu % is low at 27-32, but the minute i do something it goes up lil by lil and never goes back down last time i had it at 48% before i did a soft reset and i know a soft reset is not the answer. The higher it goes of course the slower it gets. I need big help on how to make my tp faster, the touchflo faster, all the applications starting faster and of course keep my cpu % low. I am also into game, i basically need help with everything. I apologize if this is not the right place to write this thread. I appreciate anyone who tries to help me out. Thank you.
Had you read the stickies or the first 2 pages of this forum you wouldv'e found your answer. Instead you create a redundant thread with the same exact question as this thread on the second page! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462850
I cant wait till this forum get flooded with even more redundant threads after Christmas/New Years.
you are right to be honest. I have owned forums in the past and i hated that. I am reading here and there at threads for noobs. But honestly im just scared man i dont want to mess my phone up, and i want to get opinions for which rom and other appliances are best for my version.
As a general guidline we don't tolerate threads asking others to do the footwork for you.
Please read the links in my signature to understand the nature of XDA Devs.
Best recommendation I can give is to read the threads for Roms that will work with your device and try a few of them.
Hi Guys,
Who knows what the HTC name for this device is!? I am assumiong it is a HTC device.
Also does anyone have any real work experiance in using this device, its this or the HD, any advice welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Come on, was it really that hard to go to Google and find out it is really an HTC Advantage.

All off the first page of results.
^Come on, was it really that hard to provide help without being negative?
it wasn't intended to be negative, i did post the reults.
It must have taken longer to start the thread than i spent on Google.
deedee right if you cant be arsed searching then dont ask coz thats not what we do we develop and test. not help people who cant be bothered to spend 30 seconds on google
I did google it actually,
There are different models of the device you refer.
It does seem a bit counter productive to automatically assume that everyone who posts a question you think is stupid or readily available must not have been bothered to look into it. Without knowing the full situation.
Think of all the occasions in your and all reading this where jumping to conclusions as been a mistake.
Thanks for the info you did provide however.
whats some good programs to install?
Um well....... what do you want to do? Are you going to flash a new ROM? What are you using the phone for? These are the questions I have for you. Without knowing that we can't tell you what to look for.
sigh.. just go to the site in my sig, tailored just for you.
And before you post on xda again please read the rules and guidelines first.
Click my sig, i got hundreds of cabs.
I know the OP asked when he could have searched...
But i am in the same boat and was also wondering what everyone is using. His question (and the replies with apps in the sigs) is going to make my life better too
So thanks OP for asking a disliked but useful question....

for the 10^10000000000th time.
well, i look at it this way...it doesn't hurt anyone here if someone ASKS....there is no gun to your head to answer it. only chime in if you feel like it. The OP's title is very explanatory of what he was asking so no one should have opened the thread unless they either wanted to reply or were curious of the responses given (like me). To be fair, i have never quite understood the strictness imposed which seems to cause so much frustration in (many) forums.
Signal to noise ratio, man. The fewer redundant threads, the fewer months it takes someone to get the same knowledge and tools from xda forums for their phone.
I had no problem answering his question (hell I spent countless hours designing a website to accommodate people in his shoes) and I'm sorry if I came off as bitter but the rules make sense to the people who made the rules and to me and especially to those reading the forums on their phones with a browser or RSS.
Think of Slashdot. There by default you wouldn't see things like this as they would get moderated below the default threshold. If you're so inclined, you can modify the threshold up or down or order the posts in various directions. That makes Slashdot a lot better than it used to be before they coded that. But wouldn't it be nice if XDA could continue to get away without needing the forum equivalent of that kind of system if people would just post properly and when newcomers do not that they are advised to check the rules (and, in this case, their questions get answered too)?
And yes, because of this thread a bunch of people are getting cabs they didn't have from various sigs and now that this is turning into a debate a lot more people will get cabs. But would you not agree now that we are both right? Or do you truly not mind the boards being flooded with the same questions the wiki and searching satisfies? Not to mention spam and people trying to sell their phones. Signal to noise ratio.

I think for some it's just a matter of frustration. I've been guilty of it myself, and got my hand slapped by the mods in Q&A for an inappropriate flame. Speaking for myself, I first joined a little over a year ago and read everything available. This allowed me to avoid asking questions that had already been answered. I'd hazard to guess that the "ask first and search later" approach is viewed by some as intellectually lazy. I can also see the other side that you point out. This site can be very intimidating and some people may just not know what to look for -- especially if they're new to WinMo. I've now adopted a no-flame approach (don't want to get slapped again). I'm certainly no expert, but I occasionally can provide an answer or suggestion, even if it's nothing other than providing a link to the appropriate thread. I figure it's the least I can do for all the great help I've received here.

Can't help but say that in my head with the Dude's voice from The Big Lebowski.
Well put! I trolled this board months before I got my Fuze on release day. After I got it, I finally registered at xda. Just now I flashed my phone with a NAFT's new ROM. Countless threads of information to go through for someone with tendencies of ADD its hard to take it all in a fast as I want to. Many saved bookmarked threads. Think this might be my 4th post. I wanted to take the easy/short cut and ask but all the information is there. Just had to search and read & read & read again.
There are many talented, smart & helpful people on the forum. This forum totally kick ass in all reality.
BTW d0ugie, website kicks ass! Helped me out tremendously 6 weeks ago.
Now off to search for may att stock ring tones I didn't backup before the flash.

Hey thanks for backing me up. Heh, the Dude.
Glad you got good use out of the site! And guess what, you can get even more out of it because I got your default rings (HTC's and MS's) in the first paragraph of section 9, notifications.

@D0ugie
First off, i didn't think your reply was too negative. You just pointed out that people should search first and ask later, which i agree with. I think in my mind it's the level of grey that exists with the "search first" motto that is debatable. I have spent a LOT of time in some instances searching for a needle in a haystack, sometimes in fear of knowing that if i pose a new thread for a quick answer i might get flamed for it. And there are times when i asked before i probably should have (had one of those the other day) and felt like an idiot for it. And then there are the times where i was looking for something but maybe didn't even know it, and had someone else ask it and be like, wow that is exactly what i wanted to know. And then there are still the times where i asked a Q and wasn't sure if it was a good question and whether or not i'd even get a reply, and had a huge discussion evolve because of it and lots of people glad i did ask.
Obviously, the repeat of the same question over and over can make it harder to find the BEST answers, but sometimes i will search and not find that right thread and then someone points me to it and i am like, that just saved me SO much unnecessary searching, THANK YOU.
The bottom line though is i love this community and, in general, everyone here is amazing and so helpful and giving. I feel lucky to be a part of it and wish i was a better developer and had more to contribute.

@OP You could search the Raphael software/Diamond Themes, Applications, and Software/Developement & Hacking which are sections specially made for app posting.
EDITED, sorry if I offended anyone.

Funny i was looking for the Dude trying to get a little Time of from XDA and accidentally used the Google XDA search. This was the only result.
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=000825531964825142534%3Acqr2sjirilw&q=the+big+lebowski&sa=Search&cof=FORID%3A0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
I didn't know that until i accidentally searched for it.
Well for those in the Dark here's the Short Version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqtgfjkB6Pg
Please delete me when the fun's gotten out of it, but at least XDA should get back two search results from now on, on The Big Lebowksi
In two weeks:
http://www.google.com/custom?hl=en&...esult&cd=1&q=Noonski+the+big+lebowski&spell=1
Should give you at least one result on finding out my true identity.
A few posts deleted, that is already more then any of us would have wanted on a Forum meant to harbour information.
Don't Flame a man trying to show you the light of XDA, it attracts to much attention of Moderators even when they are trying not to.
If you go to my 4shared, you can find pretty much any application that will do whatever you want on your WinMo based phone.

You need to read, and read and read and read.
Then search, read, search, read, search, read.
THEN ask questions. These constant PM's are NOT cool. Seriously. It took me a long time to really understand this project, and while I asked a lot of questions - I made sure they weren't already answered. This project has been going for quite a while, and 99.9999999999% of all your questions have probably already been answered.
