...i think i made a mistake getting this crap. guys this phone suks. now as i saw some guys are using custom roms etc etc. please post those files or link them to me so i can download. please give the ones that are new and works. i only need English ones. this is such a crap phone. i talked about it with htc support, and they asked me serial number, gave it, told me its from UAE so transferred my query to UAE support, they said me to download Arabic rom, and that was when i gave up and cursed the living **** outa them cuz i dot know Arabic and i never asked for Arabic versions. i bought it over 5800xm but now i think i should have bought Nokia :/. i hate this phone. nothing useful in it! sms app hangs, start up time is f'in crazy this and that cant even begin to tell the problems in it. My friend got it from UAE for me. i live in Pakistan. man this phones suks a**. well if not phone at least the software does! i am quite fed up with this. no games, nothing! yes it has some powers over 5800xm, but 5800xm makes up for it in many ways and so i love it. and any skins for win media player? cant find anywhere... please guys can you post them to me? everything to make my life easier with this machine? i got to know this website after i searched htc on Google. so finally after sometime when this pda started making my life hell i thought to join this forum and get expert help.
Keep up the good job.
To be honest mate, nobody is going to offer you much help if you come on here spouting rubbish and criticising the device. The Mega is avery good device, as good as anything out there for similar money. There are areas of this forum dedicated to updating the ROM, so have a loook on there. The updates are nearly all superficial, just changing the appearance a bit and removing some unwanted apps that some people believe make the device run slower, although I have found no noticeable difference. CHeck out the ROM Development section. You need to do the HARD SPL stuff to unlock your device, then choose one of the ROMS and install it.
This reply started of as a moan at you for your attitude, but has unintentionally turned into some advice you wanted. We are all users and purchasers of this device, not the manufacturers. A bit of politeness and manners will get you a lot more assistance than the arrogant aggressive attitude you started with.
I agree with TangerineTractor, you come in here, moaning the phone is s**t, dont bother looking in the section marked "ROM Development" and expect other people to point you exactly where to go??? We arent gonna hold your hand and show you around the damn forums. Dont be so lazy.
As for critisizing the phone, you dont like it? splash out more cash and get a different phone. We dont care if you like it or not and dont want your life story.
Dude, the new roms wont change your opninion on the phone for sure, they are just vision. You dont like it - sell it and buy another one. But to compare it with 5800 hahahaha that made me laugh, Nokia and Symbian is the biggest sh*t out there imo.
ok... first of all why are you all bashing me? you want me to make a video of this crap getting on my nerves? tell me some well a little bit about how good this cellphone is? come on tell me the plus points as you said its a good device. and i cant forget the guy who said Nokia is rubbish hmm may be but again prove how in the hell is 5800xm is rubbish and if it is why the f are the sales so high? is it me or you are the odd one out? yes i did look in rom development area. and yes i need you to guide me there, coming and acting all superior and bashing me aint such a good way to greet a new user. i asked for help that's it.

Did it occure to you that:
A) "Bashing" the phone and all that might offend the people who LIKE the phone
B) No, we are NOT here to guide you, people will offer advice when it is requested in a courteous manner. You do not come here EXPECTING people to be gracious and polite when you start a topic in the way you did.

No, no one wants you to make a video about this 'crap' phone.
Pretty much everyone in this forum section has purchased this phone, so when you start saying how rubbish it is and how much you regret buying it - people will, quite fairly, get annoyed with you.
"Coming and acting all superior and bashing [you]" I would say is a more than fair way to greet you - as it isn't half as offensive as the way you greeted everyone else.
Also, this is my first post - so hi
bashing sucking etc
I believe that the best would be for you, visiting an psycholgist !
I'm personally using the device since month's and am satisfied with it.
Maybe you should specify what sucks, whats bashing etc.
So far I was using all kind of versions from Nokia, but what the Mega is offering to the user was NEVER reached by any Nokia device

first of all you all speak like i say abused you as a child or cursed your family in start of my topic? is that so? the way you, most of you are speaking i can speak too but hey lets see i am not as mad as you have gotten with your self.

I've closed this thread as everyone is just bashing each other. @ Gothik - People are bashing you due to your attitude in first post. Users will take offence if you just create a new thread and start criticising a phone a lot of people have bought. In future, a little more tact would be better

hi folks, i recently found this application 'Point UI'. You may find some other threads for this, as well. It provides kindda iPhone interface to windows mobile. I ain't crazy for Apple iPhone user interface and themes, but i am sure, there are some people who would definitely appreciate a change.
This software, i have tried on WM5/WM6, works perfectly on them. People usin' WM2/WM3, can try at their own risk and lemme know the compatibility. It is not exactly iPhone interface, but the basic Slide and Touch Navigation works perfectly fine without any hassles. On top of that, people like me, usin' windows mobile with the same good old interface would surely enjoy this change.
And sorry, for not being able to post this application here. Some account related issue, is there. That's why i am posting it on rapidshare. You can PM me, if you face any difficulty in downloadin' i'll e-mail it to you.
Adieu..

Been hiding under a rock much? We've known about this since it launched on new yaers day. Besides, why would anyone download your CAB, which could contain anything at all; when they can get the official client from www.pointui.com?
I fail to see how being mean to this guy is going to solve anything fellas. Not EVERYONE is a freakin' geek like us. Give him a break.
Err....what kind of 'break' should we give him (kidding...). This post earns a thread lock....

a phone!
yes, not only a phone, its an ipod too!
if thats not enough wait until you hear this:
it has an internetbrowser BUILT IN!!
unbelievable!
and yu know what they call it?
i was so impressed by the quality of the name! it is so obvious! why having names like htc touch or htc wizard, there is no way telling a htc wizard is a phone:s, well you know what apple did? well its...it is:
IPHONE
everyone should take an example of apple!
haha lol
stop making fun of him..MODS please delete this post..being senior members i didnt expect this from u guyz
It is NOT an IPhone interface as well.
duuh thats why pointui is so revolutionary, becuz i didnt wanted to make an iphone look a like hehe
I agree, give him a break guys...he is just trying to be informative

I think you could stay more polite here! Do you want to go through 500+ pages to find a post when you are looking for it then go on supporting double posting! In my opinion this is kind of double posting beacuse everywhere in this forum posts concerning PointUI are popping up and on each page you'll find the string 'PointUI' at least one time!
Yes, not all of us breathe PPC Tech, but like I said everyone will notice that this app is already known when entering this forum.
Have a nice day, vi

I thought I'd put your statement to the test! On entering this forum, there is only this thread which mentions PointUI, therefore unless one is used to the ways of how forums work and this one in particular, only a search would have revealed what you are saying.
Sometimes people come across things in different places and believing they have found something amazing, they just rush over to xda devs to share the good news.
More experienced ones are more inclined to do an internal search first.
Whilst I agree that you are right about being more polite here...apologies to anyone offended, you might take some time out to remember what it's like to be a newbie at something or less experienced than someone else.
Someone makes an innocent mistake by 'who's standards?' but it is very helpful to others who happen to be browsing.
Anyway nuff said. I'll keep quite for now, but if anyone ever flames me like that, I'm sure to speak up.
Have a nice day.

I created an account to ask them a simple question and they made such a big deal of it like they dont have any answers just attiude. I ask a question that maybe everyone know but I didnt, I asked ( can you put a touch pro rom on the wing). OK maybe its a dumb question but I didnt Know the answer. Do you know the threated and made such laughs out of that question that I never got an answer (I assumed no). I sent a reply about all the laughs and (I struck a nerve).
ANYHOW I AM SO HAPPY I ASK TO HAVE MY ACCOUNT DELETED BY THEM.
Also I notice damn there everything on roms, is from xda developers.
And if any of you is from smart phone JUNKIES then I apologize for any disrespect, BUT YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT TO GET IT!!!
And Ummm...........(Fu*k SmartPhone Bumps!!)
ahhhhhhhhh poor baby got his feelin hurt....you want me to rock you to sleep...deal with it buddy...
spj all the way !!!!!!
dude..it's nothing serious. sometimes they just play around on there and they dont mean no harm.
spj FTW!
ok dash the co-founder from spj. dont know why you have to start beef at other places and many of the users over there are from here or ppcgeeks and no one else has the troubles or complaints that you address. the roms arent from xda since they are mainly gsm providers and they are from ppcgeeks and all credit is given to the authors and a post to the thread is linked as well. we also have many spj made roms there so i dont know what you are trying to get at. but anyways you kept private messaging staff, posting that rom question in the release areas even though your questions was not clearly a release, you got mad if your question wasnt answered 3 minutes after you posted, and much more. all you did was wine and cry and even made a thread trying to act like a tough guy. im not going to say anything mean back to you since you are playing childish games trying to get attention from people. i wish you the best of luck in your endevours with modding your ppc to its fullest. good luck
sincerely D/\SH

Grow up man. What are you like 8?! No need to be bashing any site.
Im not bashing any sites im just saying what happen. I know they play it wasnt that, its the fact that it seems that everytime I ask something its a joke or they tell me dont ask a stupid question. I know you guys joke if someone constantly makes the same mistake, But if im really asking and not making any mistakes and you dont know or dont what to answer just leave it blank. And like I apologized to anyone who is here from there I am not starting any beef. I didnt go there dissing them bragging on xda and im not doing that here, im stateing my opinion on that site. (I am entitled to freedom of speech and opinon huh?) Andmy feelings far from hurt wasnt there for friends or feeling.
But like I say before no disrespect to anyone here from there.
And I know and already knew some of you were or is from there. But like I say......Ummmm(F... Na you spj feel played enough.. Ha Ha)

"Its better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth an remove all doubt!"
I kinda thought this the ppc modding and what not was one big community not that one site is better than the other. Some sites get things before others who cares we all have one goal and thats to make our ppc's do what we want them to do.
Dude, nobody called you anything derogatory. Here is your exact message and the replies. Word for word the same.
Question:
"Does touchpro work on wing? Thanks alot people for your help!"
Answer 1:
"what do you mean does it work on the wing......touchpro is a phone....so no it will not work.....closing thread."
Answer 2:
"Lmao... Wow, that was funny... "
Answer 3:
"the wing is a t-mobile phone but does the touch pro work on it? i have no clue lmao...."
That is the end of the thread. So you asked a question that is pretty funny to anybody in the PPC world. And you got answers that would be expected. No one called you an idiot or anything. So I don't know what your problem is.
Sorry to XDA staff for this thread. Our stuff shouldn't be clogging your boards.

How about people just keep their mouths shut ? Or do something *useful* vs just complaining.
Had to sell my Phone on ebay. Sorry Guys! its selling at this moment!

So I imagine that even though the other thread has been closed, once the devs achieve root, you guys will let us know here at xda correct.
The other threads are full of a bunch of dumb a$$ people that just want to complain that someone else hasn't rooted their phone yet. Here is a thread that was made for them to come and yap their face and they say nothing.
I find this thread to be ridiculous (yet quite funny)!! I have been a part of "the community" for a very long time and I have never ONCE seen so many damn people complain that something wasn't getting done! Seriously People!! If you want root so damn bad I have 2 suggestions for you, DO IT YOURSELF or go buy a new phone, which ever you choose, shut your face unless you have something productive to say! (hey the title of this thread says rant so that is what I am doing )
Anyway, if anyone ever figures out root on this bad boy I will be grateful, if I ever have anything to offer I will be helpful, and I will otherwise keep my mouth shut. Thanks Everyone, especially the Dev team and the morons that inspired this rant.
btw, I'm pretty sure I blocked over half of these morons from different sites over the years for similar behavior

you know i was just reviewing the tp2 section of xda, the android section i should say. i see they have a port of ubutnu for the phone now. i guess i just don't get as to why you would want it? sorta the same with us hero users wanting to try out debian on our phones? whats the point of it?
if i were a touchpro2 "and i was very briefly" user id want a full port of android like the vogue users had. i mean what zen, dzo & mission were able to do to that dying phone to breath new life into it is outstanding and deserves total respect and applause from all of us.

For anybody that doesn't want to have to read this sentence 10 times to understand it, here's a punctuated and readable version:
If I were a Touch Pro 2 owner, and I actually was for a very brief period, I'd want a full port of Android, much like the Vogue users had.
I don't get what you are trying to say....
@ubuntu, the TP2 has a physical keyboard so ubuntu would be much more practical then on the hero.
@android port for TP2, ummmmm who cares about the TP2? I used dzo's android port for a long time and I greatly respect everything that they have accomplished. It truly is amazing.
I agree.

The sole reason I didn't get the TP2 was the fact it was running WinMo.
WinMo has to be the worst phone UI ever, why the heck would anyone want to use a stylus to navigate the UI. Nevermind the fact I've never heard one positive review of Windows Mobile as far as speed was concerned.

sorry i was sick as hell yesterday and still am. thanks mr grammar nazi's!
my point was having a port of ubuntu is stupid IMO, id rather have a fully working android port that could be flashed to nand like the vogue users have. got it now?
I dunno if I had a TP2 and then upgraded to something else but still had my old TP2 laying around. I would most likely put something like ubuntu on it for ****s and giggles.
fixxxer,
wow, you've graduated from useless personal opinion posts to starting whole new useless personal opinion threads. Way to go man, you're really making progress. Congratulations.
I might have a couple ideas as to why someone would attempt to run ubuntu, debian or just about anything else on their phone:
1. just because
2. it's a challenge just to see if you can do it
3. It's fun
4. did I mention "just because"
Just a heads up: your frustration over not having the skills to do these things yourself is showing...muffintop

Just a heads up: your frustration over not having the skills to do these things yourself is showing...muffintop

what crawled up your ass? what just because i posted an opinion about that app you helped create? the point of a message board is to create, help and debate. all i did was give an opinion, there is no reason for you to get all worked up. it's not like i said it was useless.
Actually, man, if you leave out the first and last paragraphs and just read his list, he answered your question perfectly. The fact that you don't get it says s lot. This is, at its base, a community of hackers (or hacker wannabes, like me). Half the reason we do ANYTHING with our phones is because we can. Just for the sheer unadulterated HELL OF IT! Kinda like choosing to do themes the hard way yourself, rather than using metamorph. The fact that some of what we do makes our phones more functional is sometimes almost secondary to the feeling of having got your hands dirty and done something yourself. It is the same thing that drives people to DIY rather than just buying the finished product at the store...even when you might have saved a buck and some time just dropping the cash.

"didnt say regaw's toolbox was useless" either, did you? I'm tired of seeing the same old crap from you already. Every time I see your name on a post I jump past it, every thread you own I skip, for the sole reason of not feeling like reading useless BS

Quit ****ing trolling his threads to make a point. he's not the only one who won't use that app and yes IM calling it useless. how do you like that? or maybe the lack of hits in that thread explains it all.
you people around here need to grow up because it's giving xda a bad name and im sick of looking at the bull****.

i know its lame, but dont people still follow if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything atall? i lurked for 2 months before i joined because i was scared people would be rude to me for asking questions/expressing opinions. xda doesnt have a bad name, only the cdma hero section. every other portal, every other FORUM, people never act like some of the people here. i think most of the people here are teenagers or lonely old men, which would explain alot.

settle down man, i don't need you defending me. thanks but your thoughts are not mine. yes neb misunderstood what i said but let it go.
In an attempt to bring this thread back around to topic and stop some of the bickering:
The reasons I see for doing something like installing Debian or Ubuntu on a phone are pretty simple:
1. To see what is possible
2. To find out what your are capable of
3. To find out what the device is capable of
4. To do something that no one else around you has done
In other words, why not?

im not dissing it per say but i think a full port of android would be better. i know they pretty much abandoned android for ubuntu and there was quite a few people upset.

Quit trolling this dude's threads? he dont mean a damn thing to me, and neither do you, but his actions as well as yours are uncalled for including trolling other peoples threads claiming the stuff they spend countless hours on is "useless"
join after I do but post more than I? who be the troll here, sweetie?
Have a good night.
I honestly don't know any of the background details of what was going on in the TP2 forum. This is what i was responding to:

Sometimes the purpose is the trip not the destination. That's how I feel about hacking our phones, anyway. 90% of the time, I don't really need to be able to access my desktop and take control of it through VNC, but the fact that I can makes me really happy. I don't need to be able to stream HD movies on my phone, but the fact that I will be able to with the evo has me excited. What color flashes on the screen when i tap an app doesn't really make a flying fvck in the long run, but I like the glassy blue, so I rip into every rom I download and change it. To me, that is the why that answers your initial question. To someone for whom the end functionality is the ultimate goal, the this may not make any sense, but to someone else who enjoys the process of creation and tinkering, the opposite might be true. And in a community of devs and hackers, i think you are likely to find as many or more of the latter than the former.

I been using the market place on and off with my last few phones but only installed free apps...
Was looking at some apps to buy and wanted to know if it's as secure as paypal etc?
yes it is....
but think about this.... no one here on these forums is actually "qualified" enough to give certain advice... well maybe some but majority are forum drifters.. (go to different forums depending on the mobile phone they are currently using)... now my answer is just as good as yours... and its funny because some people just need to hear someone say it... regardless of it be true or not....
so to answer your question..... yes.... it is.... but ask yourself why does it comfort you simply because i just told you so.....
sorry everyone... psych major, and forums are a great place to observe behavior and interactions..
lol, I don't know if I should thank you or not...
But yeah... If 9/10 said its fine I'd be happy...
bravo...since you were such a good sport and didn't cry like most members....
yes... the marketplace is actually quite secure... check online.. there hasn't been one bad experience recorded... and i use it with no problems at all... and I'm a very cautious online buyer... cheers
lol... I got thicker skin than most...
I work with dual diagnosis (addiction & mental health) men in a residential rehab so I kind of giggle at the cry babies on forums... Get a backbone and a box of tissues I say...
I bought my first marketplace app... A $2 speedo... Yeeehaw!!!
