Is their a section for beginners?

Is their a section in this forum that is for beginners? When I say beginners I mean we know the basics about computers and what not, but when it comes to changing registry and tweaking up our HTC phone.
Like a guide on "how-to's" on everything and anything we probably would want to do or just the major stuff. That would be great because searching through the forum for other questions that were solved is a hassle. Sometimes I can't find anything then you would have to post it and members would come back to flame you because you didn't search when you actually did.
If their is a section could someone please post the link.
Thanks!
on the top of each section there is a great guide
Also read the Wiki
Good luck,
Didn't know about the Wiki thanks!
No prob mate
Over there you´ll find all that you need as a beginner
Enjoy!

Welcome to forums
As stated above, have a deep read to the Wiki, on Diamond case here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
Read, search, respect and enjoy!
also look at the guides to common probelms, link in my sig below
thanks
to senior members above....

Glad to know it helped

OS for htc tilt

Hi all,
I have a htc tilt and want to install hardspl or android software for my htc tilt. can some one pls help.
Thanks
read the first freakin post in this forum
dude... i read it and tried to install but couldnt get it done.can you please post the link here.
appreciate your help
here ya go..a link you requested. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
HardSPL is not an OS. Hard SPL will allow you to install custom Roms. The OS will be Windows Mobile. duh.
Also don't bother with Android since you lack patience with reading and searching.
Everything you need to know is in the wiki and the sticky at the top of the page.
Unfortunately ( for you ) this is Xda-developers, not " I want to be cool like the other guys , but I lack the patience to read and understand " forum. Thousands of people here have read reread and reread the sticky and have put in the time to understand the process and no one here is going to do it for you. If you don't understand the simple process then leav your phone alone or you will brick it.
At the very least, this post does not belong in the development section, it belongs in the " I'm a noob help me make my phone cool " section. Then read, go through the process and post in the " flashing for noobs " thread, specific questions on where in the process you got stuck, and someone there will answer specific questions.
As others state read the sticky, wiki etc and use the resources already provided for you.....
On that note thread closed.

[Q] Help with Deving

Hello,
I am somewhat new to xda forums and Im glad to be here.
I wanted to ask for some help regarding developing android applications and programs, as I am somewhat lost in the beginning stages of the process. I havent successfully downloaded the correct programs in order to begin so I guess if someone could help in that regard. However more importantly I would like to know if there is anyone who would be willing to be my official dev. trainer/tutor to teach me the basics so that I can actually have a chance at developing something.
I know ive seen a no noobs section so I know pros must be looking at my post like "just another noob". But I am really interested in learning and I would appreciate someones help and guidance. Thanks and I hope someone decides to help.

Your not in the wrong section, its just that you wont find much help here, and you may want to change the title to developing

ICS tester here!

kindly send me msg if you have something to test(new release, apps etc) for i9003 for free! its because i use it also, might as well help ....hehehhe
which lead me to wonder if we have bugtracker of some sort(yeah i read threads for i9003 custom roms and noticed the bugs are reported in those threads)
You had to create a NEW THREAD for this?
You could have just posted it at the ICS CM9 or ICS MIUI thread?!
i would if i was allowed to post in dev section ...

Don't be so mean, if there's a qna thread for ics point him to it, no need to tell him off. Its a general thread, I've seen people post threads called 'official off topic thread's with it stickied and 'general thread here!'. I don't know if there is a qna for ics, if I would I would point it to him.

an easy way to do it would be for OP to get the files he wants and start testing, while browsing the forum and commenting appropriately on things they have questions about, etc. since I've heard there's a 10 post minimum before posting in the dev section, I'm sure reading around will help give them an idea how the forum works, and help the apparently unavoidable NOOB FLAME when questions are asked inappropriately. that may be part of the reason for the posting limit, you know
so, cyborg5, why not get those files, install, and read around a bit while taking notes of things you find in testing, and when you reach 10 posts you'll be able to provide feedback in the appropriate place?
thanks.. ive installed this port for 2 weeks now..problems i found were already posted, so to be safe..i didnt repost..and i also found this(tester call in irc)

thanks anyway...!

help me please!!!

I need to add back the operator's name in the notification bar and notifications. i have android 4.0.4 rom SCV7 but need the operator name in the status bar and notification bar. what file I need to edit? help me please!!
First off, if you have a question regarding a specific ROM please post it in the OP for THAT ROM. Please do not open a new thread. Rdavisct is more likely to see it and help you faster. Also it keeps our forums clutter free.
Now regarding your question:
If you ask nice, you might be able to get rdavisct to make you a quick flashable zip to do what you need. It requires modding of some pretty important files, and I wouldn't recommend you doing it yourself unless you know how.
That being said, ask your question in the proper thread HERE. :good:

He can't post there because he has less than 10 posts.
To the OP, there are several ways to get your post count up so that you can post in the dev section, please search on how to do that. Once you have 10 posts then you can go post your request in the correct thread in the dev section. NEW THREADS FOR THIS TYPE OF THING ARE NOT OK!
Ah gotcha. Thanks Jim. Was unaware of that...
