I guess you found this forum by searching on net. So you could use same method on the forums too. Just a simple search would give you excellent results.

Don't take it personally.

Was recommended this forum from a friend off BBS air guns he said it was a great forum where the people are very helpful and this is the place to fined all I need for my phone.
I have had a look through but it all seems gobblygook to me I just know I will end up doing something to my phone of shouldn't

Get registered at freeware pocket pc then download oMarket on your phone. It is a free app marketplace similar to WM marketplace. Also, go to hd2apps blog. Tons of apps and games (all free), best site imo. If you like to know people's recommended apps, go to TMobile HD2 forum, there are several threads there dedicated for that, just do a search. That is where newbies should go first before dabbling into XDA as in my opinion this forum is more for relatively advanced users...for tweaking and customization, a little less on apps and games.

Cheers for that

Welcome to the HD2 world here on XDA.
I totally understand how everything can be/is confusing at first. Having the phone for a day or so and not knowing what is out there to do even a general search. Reading the posts here will give you a general knowledge of the cab files that will enhance and customize your new phone to your liking. It really isnt that hard once you start playing around a bit.
Might I suggest bookmarking this forum, and keeping an eye on it. Lots of stuff here to do to your phone. Also read though all the posts in the "post your leo today screens" thread. tons of stuff there, and everyone shares what they have.
Please do remember the search feature is your friend. New threads with the same old questions that have been posted and answered 50 times will most likely only get you a few pointed responses.
Hope you enjoy your new HD2 phone and your time here.

Friend off an Airgun forum??
Bet he's got some really silly username trying to make himself sound like some crack shot hero too hasn't he? Sad. Very sad.
Don't worry mate, they're not all that unfriendly on here, as the other two posters have proved.
This place can be a bit daunting, just read lots for a few days and it'll start becoming clear, drop me an email or PM on here if you get stuck.
What sort of stuff are you looking for?

Finding my way round got some top apps already my phone is starting to become mine now

Hey livebaituk,
Have you formatted the card before using it? Try that first....
Otherwise, did you buy it from eBay?? I had the same problem with the one I got from there, did a quick test on it and it turned out to be fake!
Use the program below to test the memory card and see if that's the problem....
(you will need to have a microSD convertor to use direct with your computer, either to usb or to SD if you have a SD card reader).
That's all I can think of, hope that helps,

[Q] X10 multitouch without rooting?

Hi, i have this user who claimed to (might be the first in the world as i speak) have enabled X10 multitouch without rooting his device.
As i try to reason with him that he is wrong and might be getting the wrong information, he speaks even bolder and louder (even to a point of doubting the wonderful guys here at XDA of their hardwork?)
He was trying to sell his used X10 on a local forum.
The link is here:
lowyat.net/topic/1731902
Below are quoted from him
Most important things that i never HACK or ROOT my X10i for this multitouch input ( Believe me i have my own legal way that not break the law )

I give you 3 clues ok !!!
2 made by computer and 1 ownself got by in android market free.

2. Phone Text Editor
3. Android Multi Touch Input Applications. (Benchmarks)

Sure it dont make sense for you because you think only XDA Developers can do it only not even Sony Ericsson Company can do it with out rooting and flashing the phone but do you use your big brains to think Sony Ericsson Updates over their own Firmwares and Please Open Your Big 2 Balls of eyes Japan Have its own multitouch update by Sony Ericsson so is that proving it root or flashing the phone ?
So think before you say anything in Lowyat Forum Sony Ericsson have its own people to make those updates , XDA Developers is based in roothing and flashing phone and i have my own way to do it. Anything possible to happen in this earth only you are the one who dont understand and keep saying XDA Developers can do it with rooting and flashing the phone.
My last word is if you so believe on XDA Developers why don`t you do their follower dont believe in other people only believe in XDA Developers. Example there was a people coming to tell you there is a fire on top of your hse and you dont believe and sitting there stupidly waiting for those so called XDA Developers come to save your life.

So can anyone confirm what he said is true/false?
because i also own a X10 and i have yet to root mine to get multitouch.
Thanks for reading.

And i have an HTC Evo 3D , ive always been in to technology , especially Phones , im just ready to take it to the next level and start rooting .

Yeah, I had a blackberry bold 9780 since the day it was released, and I always used to follow this site on android development. But when the Nexus S was released on Rogers, I had to switch, and it took me a while to figure out how to Root the device but I love everything about this phone and technology for that matter.

so In a sense , What does rooting do for you.?

It gives you full control of the phone. One some phones, you can't do some things without root. Like screen shot programs need a level of access to your phone that is only available if you root it.

one of the best parts of rooting is having the ability to use customs roms which add a ton of features to your device. You can also over clock for faster speeds, take screen shots,use custom themes to make your phone look cooler, and a lot more.
Cheers
P.S. if this is good information hit the thanks button

If you want to learn some app development you should check out Cornboyz youtube channel.. i was in your position a couple months ago and that helped me a lot. Theres nothing about rooting there but start at tutorial 1 and its an awesome intro to eclipse and android dev

As a member posted above, it gives you full access to your phone. So you can change the rom, kernal, radio band etc. It's a neat thing to mess around with if your into technology and these types of things.
But do be aware that rooting your phone does void your warranty

just search through the whole forum, you'll find many many many information

[Q] Chaos Rings Install help....

.
I just bought a game called Chaos Rings for the Infinity TF700. I can not get it to run tho. I know that it will not run on a rooted device, but I also know that there is a work around to make it run on rooted device. All the people I have talked to say that if you install superSU or Super User it will run even if you are rooted. You must do a bit more tho also. Here is what the info file says to do. ( yes this is from a torrent site / but I did pay for the game and Square will not refund my money.
The game is labeled as: Chaos Rings 1.0 Root + Offline fix
1. Copy the extracted com.square_enix.chaosrings.googleplay folder to Android/obb of your device.
2. Install the CHAOS_RINGS_v1.0.0m.apk
Note : If you don't have superuser from the market installed it crashes. Even if your not rooted the superuser is needed for this file.
====================
When I try this I get a screen that says: The Check of a file and download of data are required "OK" ? So I click on "OK" then it says "File Under Download.....0% " and it just sits there forever.
Any one have any luck with this game. Square is no help at all
Thanks for any info
.

They removed the block for rooted devices.It should work even if you are rooted.

Looks like you are trying to run a warez version of the game? You are clearly missing the correct obb files.
I have the full version and it works fine. Just reinstall the latest version and obb files.

Hi guys! I have a rooted device (just rooted 2 days ago successfully) and have the ware version. I try both versions v 1.0.0 and v 1.2.5 . I copy-paste to obb folder after installing. Game just gets error during launch. (The unfortunately stopped problem). I try lucky patcher, nothing. What do I do wrong? I

Clever!
But bad advice and that is what happens when they answer people that they do not know! Even if I would buy it, it can not be used on Androids with Lollipop!
First we are sure we know, then we answer! :good:

Not my problem that you can't buy the game and it still doesn't mean you should be asking and getting warez support on this forum.

I made a question and you gave a wrong answer that would be waste of money, but i am sure that advising wrong to people here (especially when you don't know the answer) is not also your problem, as soon as your post count raises . You did not say it is not allowed to ask (that would be a right answer, second best after the "you can't play on lollipop"), you gave both an irrelevant and wrong/bad answer. That is a fact! Of course I would not pay for a game that I don't know if it works on my phone, that's why I tested it!
When people are wrong, they ask sorry, they don't give a second childish answer.
In the end of the day, you answered something different than what I asked and not only you gave two immature (as you don't know what I "can" buy) and irrelevant answers, but also a bad advise and as I could still not play the retail version, a bad/wrong answer!

Don't consider my answer as a decision. Still you'll have to finalize.
My consideration is that, Samsung users are more similary there are lots of developers too when compared to HTC.
So i hope that would be a better choice, since you say that you used to play with things such as modding, tweaking, and using different roms.
Hit thanks rather than typing it now Free

I have a regular HTC One from T-mobile, and I love it. Its fast, good camera performs exceptionally well. The development community is amazing, and this phone is very active among the community. I've unlocked and rooted it as soon as i got it (when it came out like 7-8 months ago) and now theres even easier methods to unlock. By the way, currently HTC has the regular (sence version for all carriers) phone on Android 4.3 with plans to update to 4.4 by Jan and the GPE version is already at 4.4 so thats even better for the modders! Good luck!
