[Guide] How to Search Effectively! - Nexus One General

First, click the Search button. (But don't put your search terms in there!) Instead, click "Or use the built-in forum search".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Next, click in the bottom right box and type 'nex' on your keyboard. This will restrict the search to the Nexus One forums. Click a specific forum if you want to search only a specific one.
Then click Show Results as -> Posts.
Enter your search keywords (root, desire, apps, etc), and select "Search Entire Posts" from the dropdown.
Finally, click Search!

As much as forum regulars anywhere like to highlight the search-function it still works horribly. Utterly useless. Everywhere, including here.
Instead what I suggest people do first is google (keyword 'g' in my browser) :
g site:forum.xdadevelopers.com guide how to search
Bonus: you get to refine your search with a new one immediately, no need to wait 5-10-30 seconds or however long the forum requires newcomers to wait.
Bonus: familiar search interface, with well known syntax

Great!

iPhone theme -very easy to install/use and most important download :)

I don't know if I am breaking any laws of this forum - if so, I would ask moderators and admins to delete this post ASAP.

Not sure I understand what this thread is all about? It seems to have been posted today (or have I got this wrong?) but points to software which has been being used for months and referred to in various threads?
Is there something I am missing here or have you actually published an .ini file somewhere which lets users use all those icons (by pointing the iTunes icon to windows media player etc)? Or have you managed to get the sking to run on start up or have you managed to get the slider to hog less memory?
Please tell us what is going on in this thread!

Any utilities to remove Opera?
I hate Opera (prefer IE over anything) and dont want it on my HD.
Surely, there must be some uninstall (or do you just need to delete it's directory under Windows dir)?
Thanks,
Rob
I've noticed that the wiki could do with a bit of updating. I've added SPB Backup which is useful. Hopefully others will start to add more and help update it!

[DONE]HTC Slide Answer + In Call Curtain

Hey guys, what's going on. Happy Holidays to all of you!
I'm not sure if i'm using the right terminology, but I was wondering if there was a cab (or 2) because I would like to use those!
As seen in here
I would like to use:
1) the thing on top of the buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) The slider:
Anyone has a cab close?
Thanks!
EDIT: See the links posted by the members for links to the curtains/curtains+slider2answer
please search..

Ah hah for the slider, i had searched, but i wasn't sure if the in-call curtain was in there!
Thanks!
well guys he's right, cos the cabs posted on that thread include only the "slide 2 answer" function, not the brushed small curtain which appears during the call.
Unfortunately, won't work on CDMA devices yet.

Not true. There is now a fully working slolution but it has become lost mid-thread!
Look for the cab by fiendz and the minor fix by drachen.
"the thing on top of the buttons:" see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464513
try posts 243, 244 (page 25) - has the "curtain" and solves most other problems
is there any way you can make work on cdma

EXCELLENT! thanks mate, things indeed do get lost mid thread especially when threads get big
Thanks to ALL for their input, hope this thread can become a reference for anyone in need of it
Hi people,
I'm sorry if this has been asked (and answered) before (or if it's too obvious), but I've been searching for this on Google and found nothing. Everybody seem to be searching ways to enable this "curtain", but I'm trying to disable it instead...
I'm using my own ROM that I've cooked with Lobsterdave's kitchen. It includes PhoneCanvas_Tachi_4_10_34656_1 package and I'm only missing video calling feature to be there...
But, one thing that annoys me is that it DOES HAVE the damn curtain over the keys in a call. That makes me 1) turn on screen 2) try to slide it down (yeah try) and 3) push the button I intend to...
So, is there a way, like a reg-tweak or something that would disable the curtain?
Thanks

[Q]Change icon size in TF3D program tab

simple to ask, hard to solve...
Is it possible to change the icon size in the TF3D program tab? If we suceed in this, it will be possible to have such an menu:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

No one can help me? I handled it to save some "realize" icons into a DLL file... but windows mobile resizes the 80px icons as 32px...

So you never got a reply to this?! How disappointing. I especially like your thong bikini icon ! hah hah, never seen one that made such great use of space!
Lol...proof of what a nerd I am....the math icon caught my attention before I scrolled down and saw the previous post.

hah! that IS funny! ... so what's up with no one ever replying to the guy... I happened upon several posts of his because he explained how to make folders with icons within Start Menu on windows mobile. I'd never seen that anywhere else... so I followed a link and saw this. (kidding) what the hell's wrong with your forum that he never got a reply??(/k)
At least in my clunky old T-Mobile Wing forum, we'd'a been all over this kind of visual enhancement (the folders and icons)... AH well, XDA is so vast and wide, it's like crossing a great mountain pass the descending into whole new valleys and landscapes... when going from device to new device.
So... since XDA Destiny (not the name of a phone, though it wouild be a good name!) is such that I will likely never come across you again, adios, amigo!

[Q] define a word as Iphone??

Hi there,
I want to ask if is something like iphone's ability to define a selected word in android for nexus 4?
thanks!!!

Sorry, but what kind of a question is this? You mean word prediction?
No I m talking about the ability which iPhone has to define a selected word in terms of its meaning ...
When you select a word using an iPhone you have the ability to define this word ...
I hope to be understood now...
If you mean adding a word/phrase to your personal dictionary (for auto-correct, etc):
Settings > Language & input > Personal Dictionary > "+" (add)
Edit: Seems you're looking for the actual definition of a word, posts below mine have answered that already.

You might look in Google Play for such an app. I couldn`t say right now. It is not build into android afaik at the moment.
Just type or say Define "word" in the Google search bar
