"Prettier" forum directory now online

I got bored one day and saw some requests for a "prettier" interface for the forum.... that obviously is a long way off if it ever happens (because this is a forum), but here is something to tie you over
Let me know what you guys think or if you want anything added, i already found a few bugs on my own and fixed them so this is like draft 1.1.
www.xda-developers.we.bs
Basically all it is is all the links in the forum directory laid out in an aero theme.
I just compiled everything in paint.net and used html image mapping for all the links.

Any likes or dislikes? Should i add or remove anything? Do you think its useful?

Its my new homepage!

We are adding a commonly asked questions and answer's section (like how to flash your first rom ect.)
Here is the list we have so far:
A guide to flashing your first Rom
How to install Programs on your ppc.
An articles over the diferences between different spl's and what they do
A list of places where people can download programs (such as freeware sites)
Maybe a list of common hacks?
A list of must have programs
Adding it as a refrence for the Q&A section (since we get those questions over there all the time)
Any suggestions to the list? or anything else you would like to see on the site?

I like the old style. its almost easyer to see if there are any new post etc..

Agree, I prefer the old style I am get used to that
Anyway thanks

ya i can't pull info such as recent posts (or atleast i don't know how to) but its more of just a fun thing i did when i got bred
PS... the commonly asked Q&A will just be hosted in the same place. That way i can use html to make it a little esier/"prettier" to read. I have a little more control over what goes where and how ect.
i'm not trying by aymeans to recreate xda... just help supplement it

Website to consolidate icons, tweaks, mods, etc. Assistance needed.

I posted this over on PPCGeeks, but I thought I would post here to get more exposure and input. Here is the ppcgeeks thread. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=53230
Okay, I've brought this up elsewhere, and I guess it's time to create a new thread and get this going. I've seen so many different threads with different tweaks, top icons, TF3D icons, Windows themes, Manilla themes, etc... and I also notice some people try to combine them into one post (which is very difficult, and still results in the addition of other posts/threads).
Anyways, something I've been wanting to see done for a long time is to be able to go to a webpage, pick and choose with pictures what we want on our phone, and download and install them. Rather than having people search to find several thread results, they can just go to one website, and view up to date info.
First example I will use is the top icons for the Touch Pro. I see several threads (3 of which I personally noticed to be predominately popular - http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49827, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437307, and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420). These threads are very long (one of which with 1,800+ posts). What I would like to do is have people who create icons submit their icons to this website (I don't have a name for it yet), and people can go there to see & download their work. All original work will be credited appropriately, and can also have a "donate" button as such. People can still post their work on the forums, but they can say it's been submitted to "the website", and people can visit "the website" to download.
What I've noticed is some people on the iPhone community have such things as Installer Apps, which is a compilation of various applications ready to be downloaded and installed to the device. This includes games, apps, icons, etc...
What I would like to ask is for some assistance from willing volunteers (you don't have to commit your time, but any help is appreciated). Maybe suggest ideas of what can be incorporated, gather information to be added to the site, etc... I do have a full time job, and I will be doing this on my own personal time as a way to give back to the community I've been a part of for 2 years.
I have some basic HTML skills, and I'm pretty computer savvy, but any help is appreciated. With that, I'll open this thread to any inspirational ideas and discussion.
Thanks, and let's make this a better community for everyone!

here's one for registry tweaks http://triton.homeip.net/RegistryChanger/
it's a start....

check my signature

Thanks to GhettoBSD (from PPCGeeks), I've been able to make additions to his WikiSpace. So far I've made additions to the Themes page. (Of course, all themes are referenced to the original poster, and notified of this submission).
Let me know what everyone thinks. Any feedback is appreciated. Remember, I'm trying to make this very easy for someone to go to the website, and view all available information for their Touch pro (and Diamond). http://ppc-repository.wikispaces.com/TP+Themes

Very cool! I like the way you did it. Now, which regedits are specific (or can be used) with the Touch Pro (and Diamond).

That site is awesome but it is over run with spam. I contacted the webmaster with some basic spam-fighting tactics. That site has a REALLY good foundation and is a great idea.
I'm pretty good with websites. I code all my html, php, SQL etc by hand in notepad. My site, http://miiwiichat.com is a chat room site for Nintendo Wii users. The site allows user submissions of articles, reader feedback, admin/mod pages, CAPTCHAs, lots of SPAM deterrent.
I don't have the time to code up a whole site, but I can help out.
@nhvoltagenh - Isn't your website a little ironic? A site dedicated for Windows Mobile graphics with a Apple OSX theme. lol. Don't worry, I like the glassy look and feel of OSX too.

[APP] j2Cal - offline calendar

Hi folks. I have just put up the first release of an offline calendar app. Basically it is a re-write of AnCal, keeping the same UI, but wrangling a lot of code to make it do what I need and make it more 1.6+ and QVGA friendly.
I am interested in any feedback at this point before I stick it on the various markets as I only have the emulator and an X10 mini for testing.
You can download the apk and check some screenshsots from the URL below. Feedback is most welcome so comment, PM or comment on the blog linked from the project page. I hope some of you find it useful.
...ermm, ok well, I guess because it is my first post here I can't put real links in. Drop the path below in your browser and you should get there.

[Q] Scrollable news on Samsung Infuse running ADW

Anyone else having problems with this? I love the widget, but keep losing the feed and have to go through and re-create everything several times a day.
I am using manual updating in scrollable news.
I would have posted this on the dedicated thread as per android market instructions by developer, but for this:
"Please Read: New members (those with fewer than 10 posts) are not permitted to post to development-related forums. "

2nd post
Anyone know of a solution for this?

3rd post
Still looking for a solution. I love this widget. I just need to figure out why it keeps resetting.

4th
I assume no one has an answer. I will continue asking I suppose until I hit 10 posts.

Anyone can help with this?
I am currently using AtomaRSS instead, but I don't like it as well as Scrollable News.
I like Scrollable news opens the stories in instapaper and I like the way the feed displays items much better.

Still no answer
What would cause the widget to lose it's settings periodically??

This is the my 10th post so I will be able to post on
the original thread.
