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
Have seen some pics on here where the phone has a smart looking top bar where the start and signal strength is anyone know a link to where I can find one. Have look for one but don't know what it's called
Cheers sniper-wolf for the heads up, name can't be as bad as mine

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,

[APP] Devine "We Fail" Promo

This is a promo app that plays Devine's 1st single, "We Fail" , off their first album titled "14 Steps to Stone"
: : : DEVINE : : :
Devine is an American heavy metal / Hard Rock Band blending elements of Rock, Hard Core, Metal, and Hip-Hop. However, this band is unique for more than just their sound but also in their peculiar arrangement. The band not only remains spread out over the United States but for nearly a year, and after a completed recording no one in the band had ever been in the same room!
for more to the story go to www.devineband.com
watch the music video here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ai33ZbWRIs
This is an awesome band I have been doing a lot of work with
This app was created in App Inventor because I have no idea what im doing but it does the job of letting people hear them and getting the word out lol
If anyone has a marketplace account and is willing to post this on the market for free then let me know!

Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}
The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.

Everyone...
Just because a project here doesn't include you in the scope of people that it might be relevant to, that's no reason to come bashing those who created it or who are interested in it. If it's not for you, just move along....

oh god i'm embarrassed to have ever heard this

Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.
I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?

Because this is for people to offer constructive criticisms about the app, not needlessly hateful comments. Saying "this app sucks because i don't like the music" is not helpful in the slightest. We are supposed to be rating the app, not necessarily the music.
By the way, this is a brilliant idea for an app. I think NYGraFFit1 put it best

I was going to offer to throw it on the market for you, but I'm pretty sure you can't with AppInventor apps (I'm not sure, I'll look into it). I know you at least didn't used to be able to, but things may have changed.

That guy seemed to have put his app on the market somehow and he did his in app inventor too, so it is possible?

[Q] Video "how-to" requests!!!

I am starting a blog which will be completely dedicated to "how-to" videos for the GTab that you can find at:GTabUnleashed.com
and I was looking for some requests, since I think it is much easier to do a lot of the mods if you can see it being done... less chances of making a mistake, and you can actually see that it works...
before you respond... I must tell you what I have recorded so far:
the basics:
Clockwork Mod Rooting
Rom flashing (Vegan 5.1 and subsequent update to 5.1.1)
& Market Fix
Flash fix... which was later made into flash 10.2/hulu fix
and swype keyboard
NOTE: I want to do the viewsonic boot logo replacement, and despite reading the post for that... I am pretty uncertain about NVFlash and may need some help... if someone could assist me that would be rad!
And based on what I've seen for videos out there... I felt it could be done better and all in one place...
so my videos are all shot from a tripod freeing up my hands
and in a dark room for clarity and will be edited so be as short and concise as possible giving you ample time to continue scouring the forums.
So what else do you want to see?

Well I suppose it's sort of been done but a quick overview of all the popular roms (at a decent resolution 720p or at least 480p) would be really nice.
Go over installation and difficulties
Speed
Functionality specific to the rom itself
Use for every day use
Use for development.
probably overkill but.. hey I'm just wishful thinking.
Basically videos showing off the rom doing things people would do like how long to launch from power off, performance when web browsing (pinch zoom, navigating, etc), gaming, scrolling on a decent launching (LauncherPro, zeam, etc)

Flashing custom Kernel (pershoot, Clemsyn). They are basically the same as flashing a Rom. but people get confused on this issue.

I would love to see videos on how to flash ROMs other than Vegan.

Thanks for the input... so far
Thanks you guys... I think all the "woot" madness has caused my post to generate little to no interest... but that is ok... the Blog has gotten 150 views in the last two day, and that is with no videos in it... so thats a good start...
to be fair... my videos are not super high quality, they are shot on a canon power shot... but they are steady and visible. Plus they are super short, who wants to watch a 15 min video on flashing clockwork mod... mine is a minute and a half... all of the screens you will need to see to be sucessful... and that really is the whole point...
they are only meant to be suppliments to the many well written, step by step, XDS forum threads that have given me the sweet running GTab I have in my possession today... the threads will be linked, the developers responsible will be given all of the credit... I will just be there for visual backing... seeing is believing...
but yes... I will flash every rom, play with every program, and game, and show off every keyboard...
eventually, you should be able to go to one site GTabUnleashed.com and see everything in one place...
because good info on the forums are getting harder to find everyday!

I am very interested in watching anything you can post that will give me more confidence that I am following instructions correctly.
yeah, I wooted LOL all the more reason I'm interested in anything you're willing to demonstrate. And thank you, wonderful idea you have!

GTabUnleashed.com

My GTab video blog is up and running... I have about 5 or 6 videos so far... the first 3 are the basic clockwork mod rooting, flashing a rom (Vegan 5.1) and flash/market fix. I also did one showing the hulu fix... and I will be posting a new one soon on getting swype running on the GTab.
I have plans to do Rom reviews, apps, and games in the future.
Short quick videos... all in one place.. with XDA forum links to follow.
If you have any suggestions... any good tutorials from the forums that you want me to made a video for... Please visit the blog and let me know!

F-Yes! Thank you for your contribution. If there was an epic button I would mash it so hard.

Nice I bookmarked it. Thanks and I like the site design. Well done!

Thery useful video blog. Thanks!

Sweet, i'm getting my GTAB tomorrow so I'll definitely be checking out your site.

very nice!

Thanks
Thanks for adding to the mix.....

Outstanding! Thanks for the extra work, I'm sure many of us will benefit from it.
I plan to follow advice found on XDA and do the following:
1) Open and run the device stock for a bit.
2) Do the OTA update and evaluate. I may be purchasing one for my mother and I think the updated stock will be plenty for her to check email, do facebook and check the weather?
3) Look at Vegan 5.1 and Supplement as well as Clemsyn's kernel.
4) Look at TNT
5) Have fun with it!

Nice blog. My gTab should be coming in tomorrow so get to play around with it.

I'm a stickler for written directions, but a video to follow is even better! Great work!
Suggestion: Any chance of getting a vid up with setting up nvflash, getting the tab in apx mode, possibly pulling/pushing files from/to the tablet?
Thanks again!

You all rock... thanks for the kudos!!!!
@Dueces99: NVFlash is my only hurdle right now... I consider myself tech savvy but for some reason, I couldn't figure that one out... YET... I'm sure I just need to do some more research, but if anyone knows the best how-to on that I would really appreciate it... because lets face it... the Viewsonic Birds have to go... I've seen that logo over a decade ago...
Thanks again everyone... pass on the good word and I'll keep posting videos!!!!

I just checked out the site. Looks great, good work.

Very nice!

Before I say anything, you know that your site is awesome and that you are awesome.
That said, you're no Steve Jobs. When Steve Jobs first presented the ipad in his conference, you could tell from the videos that he tried very hard to present the strengths and cover up the weaknesses. For instance, everytime he pressed a soft button, he always gave it about half a second for the ipad to respond. In your video, I noticed that you kept pressing it really fast and then having to repress the screen.
Yes, your videos are awesome. But if I were you I wouldn't quit my day job to become a salesman LOL

Excellent site- thank you for your hard work

hahaha!

Very true... This is just a hobby and I do every video in one take... Its more about function over form... I'm sure I spent more time on the logo and intro music than I did the composure of the videos... but for what its worth, I will try to rehears a little more so I don't look entirely like a noob!

When my Gtab comes in tomorrow, your site will be on my list of 'have to learn from'. Thanks, my man!!!

Very nice work, thank you!
Gotcha bookmarked.

[Video] How to improve your android experience

Hey guys, I just made a video on how to truly experience the captivate, or any android phone for that matter.
Check it out if you guys want to. Mainly for newer users but everyone is welcome to watch and critique
Here's the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2rrUm_vvWo&feature=channel_video_title

thanks and yeah i went a little overboard with descriptions lol

May I suggest you keep a list of talking points off camera for reference (maybe rehearse it a couple times before recording?)... To avoid all the "uuuhhhss" and "uuuummmms" it would make the videos shorter and make you sound much, much, more professional.

Flash a new rom.
Bam! Didn't even need a video for that!

true true, ill keep that in mind

i had no idea what you were going to be talking about. start with that.
today im going to talk about... this this and this. now lets start with this....
and nothing you did makes anything "hd" there is nothing worse than making information that uses words incorrectly. it takes HD video, always has, and thats it.
besides that, i like that you are out here to help

continuum 5 eh? I really wanna get into gingerbread. my damn exams are taking too much of my time. but sooooon
and @Trussello
By changing the density like I did, it gives the illusion of an HD screen with a superAMOLED display which isnt even coming out with the S II :S.
I believe that this is far superior to the atrix's screen and it is in essence turning your captivate 'HD'
I think the title is justifiable.
Thanks for your feedback it is much appreciated and im learning a lot

Good job but be more prepared next time.

I see, thanks for the heads up. I'm probably gonna try it out for myself though. My exams end in 5 days so by then there might be a more stable kernal/rom

Tried it and its actually pretty good IMO but it was updated several times

What kind of a calender widget are you using?

It's great that you're doing this for the community Here's some hopefully constructive feedback:
Try to be more to the point. I was curious to learn some stuff, but i found myself getting bored and impatient, which is a shame. You basically spent 4-5 minutes on unlocking the screen with WidgetLocker, without really explaining what WidgetLocker really is, and on ADW EX, but only showing the setting for the number of desktop columns and rows. There are lots of neat things about both these apps, yet i didn't get to see any of it
Keep in mind who your audience is. For the people who are not familiar with the apps you're showing, you want to make sure you explain things. And you want to keep it brief enough so that people who are familiar with the app you're discussing don't get too bored and quit watching. My expectation going into a video like this would be that you will cover several things, and that i may know about a few of them, but not all of them. So the ones i already know about, i'd like them to be short enough that i don't get bored. And the ones i do not yet know about need to be informative enough that i get a basic idea of what it is and does.
My suggestion would be that for each app you try to give a 1-3 sentence explanation about what it is / what it does, and then demo a few features, without dwelling on it too long. I think you could put together a great video if you were to use a rule of thumb like that for each app and cool thing you want to show. Before you start recording, make a shot bullet list of the things you want to mention, so that you can stay on target. (Don't make a script with sentences, because you'd end up reading the script to the viewer, which really doesn't work.)
I hope that that helps you in some way. Again, it's nice you're doing this. I'm just trying to provide some feedback to help you get better I'm looking forward to more videos from you!

So the ones i already know about, i'd like them to be short enough that i don't get bored. And the ones i do not yet know about need to be informative enough that i get a basic idea of what it is and does.
My suggestion would be that for each app you try to give a 1-3 sentence explanation about what it is / what it does, and then demo a few features, without dwelling on it too long. I think you could put together a great video if you were to use a rule of thumb like that for each app and cool thing you want to show. Before you start recording, make a shot bullet list of the things you want to mention, so that you can stay on target. (Don't make a script with sentences, because you'd end up reading the script to the viewer, which really doesn't work.)
I hope that that helps you in some way. Again, it's nice you're doing this. I'm just trying to provide some feedback to help you get better I'm looking forward to more videos from you!
