Indeed!
I really can not understand why some people post things like this in completley the wrong section. I mean its as if they just randomly click a forum and post.

Ok - well its looks like ive been shifted here, again, sorry, genuine mistake - wasnt expecting the harsh tone though....
I take it this model is too new to have had any hacks/custom roms done yet....

Its a fairly new device. It has a different hardware and as far as we know a different rom. Wait till it falls in the hands of a capable dev. Although looks lije Gingerbread is knocking the tab's door.

hmmm - strange as due to the size i would have gathered honeycomb would the next logical step.

Yes, it's completely hackable. I hacked mine the day I got it.

Don't mind me for asking, but in what way shape or form do you have a say in this? I also liked the dog in the manger analogy in the thread you pointed at, a very smart observation imo. I see this kind of behavior also a lot irl..
Likewise
For noobs like me, an Omnia Forum would be perfect
It's so cute that you guys think this forum is a democracy.
If the Admins say no, which they have repeatedly, for very sound reasons, Then its not going to happen.
But This thread can continue if you like.

Democracy No... never thought that at all...
Community YES. It even says that on the front page. A pettition isn't a demand, a threat or a power grab. It's not even a threat to your authority Jimmy. It is however a way of the comminity expressing an opinion to those who actually do have the authority and responsibilty of running xda-developers. Running a site such as XDA has to be an amazing amount of work. And the admin team are awesome :approve:
Now if those Admins actually do have very sound reasons for not doing this then fair enough. If those reasons are given then we can respect the choice even if we may not agree with it. If they were to say no, then it wouldn't happen (until they said yes)
However that isn't the situation that we seem to have here. Even with reasonable amount of searching I can't find any Admin actually saying anything about the subject*
*if such a post does already exist about "No to an Omnia forum"** from an actual Admin then I'd really love to see it. If "Sound reasons" are given in that post from an admin then I'll respectfully apologise and eat my words. If Multiple posts from Admins exist, with the sound reasons, then i'll even post the video of me eating those words.....

I never said that I thought this shouldn't be done. I never said I felt my power, what ever THAT may be, was threatened.
But It has been said repeatedly with EVERY device that was not HTC made that was suggested that, no there will not be a forum.
I just don't want you guys getting your hopes up, if this works out for you guys, great. But don't get disappointed when the pattern of rejecting non HTC devices continue.
Was I a little flip in my post? Probably, but that's my personality.
P.S. Dave, Please post that "flame" link, It shows the Pattern I am talking about.

Thanks Jimmy... I can live with that. :approve:
And If I sounded antagonistic towards you in any way, then that wasn't my intention either.
If it happens then I think it will be of great benefit to XDA-developers and to its members. If it doesn't happen, well nobody can say we didn't ask for it.
Why don't you create a forum oustide XDA (if not already available, I won't search it as I don't need it).
I mean why absolutely living here . If the Omnia community is so huge, it can be huge in an other place/forum, it doesn't need this very forum!
I think the whole point was to join a community with the sound basis of this forum as a place to bounce ideas back and forth across platforms regardless of manufacturer with the hope of improving the devices of everyone.

That's where you thought wrong. This forum was created specifically for HTC devices, and HTC only. Honestly, think of how many different devices there are out there, do you really think it's possible to maintain that many devices? Looks like you just joined, so I imagine you've seen very little here, as have I in only a few months, but everytime a new non-HTC device hits the market, a few people ask this same question, and receive the same response. Then the thread dies down after 2-3 weeks, and everything is back to normal. There are reasons why this forum sticks to HTC only, and I'm sure it's not going to change every time a group of people get a different device.
So, I'm not sure where you got your idea of the community, but just with any other forum out there, it's information and users are directed towards one general idea, and this one happens to be HTC devices.
There is another big Forum dedicated to the Samsung Omnia:
http://www.modaco.com/category/342/i900-omnia-http-i900-modaco-com/
It is very sad that xda-developers will lose importance due to more and more non-htc devices being released (Samsung, Sony Ericcson...).

I think this is what i should put this

i don't know if this will help any of you dedicated developers, but i pulled a bootlog from the (ugh, recently un-)rooted rogers dream i have with osmonitor. i can't make too much sense of it, so maybe you will have better luck?

Wow, did you even read what they said, or did you just look for a question mark and post a generic response? No question was asked other than a rhetorical one... Seriously, this forum has far too many wannabe mods. To be honest, that was a pretty rude response considering they've done nothing wrong at all but trying to help in development.
Sorry I can't actually help with that log, I just had to say something, this is getting out of hand o.0.

Guess is a higher geek count then in most places dont let it get to you tho.
well, now that is what I call a rather rude response. I posted that at 9 pm, and wasn't really too coherent. I'm also surprised that it offended you that much that you had to start a personal attack on me; Seeing as it wound up buried on page two or three by this morning. I posted that boot log as I noticed something when I was looking at it, that it ignored the previous radio versions, and thought that might be a clue for someone who knows about the roms to actually do something constructive. Not that reminding me about the rules of grammar and such wasn't constructive.
Moved as not Android Development.
Im not sure if this can be done with an unrooted fone but if you have Android SDK then get a logcat.
The Devs can understand this much better I think.

[Q] [MOD] OVERCLOCKING to 825mhz !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djmwYSVxpQA
I read that the HTC Hero & Tmobile G1 all have the same processor. So why can we not overclock it like this?
I didnt think it could go that high at all
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
first off..youve been here for a few months now so you should know and post this in the right section(Q&A)!!!! seeing as you actually checked the box to show this was a question just shows that you didnt read the rules or even care about the STICKY telling to post in the right area.
Second..why not just be happy with 768? i dont think its possible atleast as we speak unless someone comes up with a kernel that allows it. I mean some hero's bootloop at 768 so what would make you think its possible at 825?

wow..it just shows how much you guys actually read the rules also. this is a quote directly from it.
"So remember… before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can’t answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?"
plus questions about development go in either the rom thread, General, or Q&A.
Preach it, brother!

I second this. I HATE having to scroll through pages of useless threads in the wrong forum sections. Also, the majority of the posts in these incorrectly located threads are questions that could be solved with a simple thread search or *gasp* actually reading through the ROM/Kernel/MOD thread itself.

I actually think it would be interesting to seed how blazing fast our Hero's can go and besides, not everyones phone boot loops at 768. I'm pretty sure some can go at 825.
and not to come off as an a$$ but I don't see the title of "moderator" underneath your screen name so you really have no say in were people can and cannot post. I understand I am no moderator as well but I don't think bbplaya4life should be chastised by you. Those are just my .02 and I'm not trying to make enemies but I'm just saying leave that job for the moderators
No hard feelings?
Congratulations, you can read the forum rules. Can you tell us, are there any rules about responding to posts like an arrogant douche bag. If there are than than sir you are as guilty as he is. If in your opinion it is in the wrong spot than state your opinion and move on, who made you a mod? Lord knows in two days this thread will be buried 6 pages into this section and you won't have to see it again. Otherwise it will be moved or deleted, but seriously I don't get what is wrong with people, if you don't have anything to contribute or you can't answer his question than leave it alone. And in the meantime, I'm not so sure it is possible to overclock that high on our devices. I'm sure if it could be than it probably would have been by this point, as amazing as the devs are that we have had working on the hero currently and in the past.

if you would have bothered actually reading that thread i posted you would see that in fact i dont need to be a mod. THE MODS have said quit posting questions in the development section unless you are developing something and use freakin common sense. Sorry Impaler but like i said before recently this development forum is getting flooded with threads that should be located somewhere else. letting one person get away with it has allowed everyone to just randomly post where they like and its getting outta control.
As far as flaming in the thread yes i am to breaking rules. I admit im being hypocritical when i say read the rules. Think about this tho, there is a huge thread above this section that says post threads in the right section.
Sorry again to everyone who's feathers i have ruffled but Please try and post in the right sections.
Sorry for flaming!
If anyone really wants, I'll put out a Decad3nce Uncapped Kernel that allows for 825MHz. Be warned though that I take no responsibility for any damages that occur.
I've heard from someone that Zen said that our Hero's CAN be clocked well over into 900 mhz, (or it has been done) but it's pointless since our phones wouldn't really be able to handle that speed. Plus, the only thing (in my opinion) it would be good for is a pretty Quadrant Score.

Unstable even if you wanted it. And for clarfication:
The HTC Hero(GSM) and G1 share the same cpu(MSM7200A) while we have the MSM7600(CDMA version, same as Eris) which is >= rev 2 and is much improved.

2. Read around the forums before posting, that goes hand-in-hand with searching...
3. Post in the right friggin' section. You have a [Q] in your tread title which means it's a question, which is fine, but its not a "Captivate Android Development" question! It belongs in the Question and Answer section. (which is amazingly obvious, it's not like they hide it from you around here)
4. The answer to your question is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 which you didn't even need to search to find, its on the first page of the Development section which I know you looked in because you posted here.

I have to agree with this 100%. When I first started I didn't even realize I could search the forums or threads. Instead of someone pointing out to me there was search and explain how it works I was unbelievably verbally beaten to a bloody pulp about what an idiot I was. Even today I was taken to task for a post that cites a measure of rom's performance instead of the accepted evaluations we see day in and day out-fantastic, great, best, unbelievably fast. To me the true evaluation of a rom has to be functionality and some measure. If you do not think Quadrant scores, net speed tests and Lin pack scores measure performance tell me what does. I understand e mail works, videos play, I can make phone calls etc. That tells me how the rom functions. How do you measure a rom's performance other than to say fantastic, great, good etc.? Tell me.
All the "this is in the wrong forum, dude" posts are not about development either, so you're all off topic.
Spend less time bashing, and more time helping the new forum members.
The internet doesn't need more assholes, just more manners and good examples.
AoN
So just because someone is new to the forums we give them some leeway because they can't READ? Seriously guys it doesn't matter how new you are, if you have a question, put it in the Question and Answers thread. Almost every website has a search function, they aren't hard to find, so that excuse of "I didn't know" is pretty bogus.

How hard is it for a moderator to do their job and move the thread to Q & A or to delete it?? If they did you guys would have no argument that it "pushes" the other threads to page two. I still don't get it......Seems to me like ppl are making a big deal out of nothing.

when you are reading these forums every day trying to see whats going on in the dev world, all you see on the front page are [Q] threads, posted in the wrong section. then we have to filter out all the BS and try to find useful info, when it should be right there, easily accessible, which is the point of breaking up the sections of the forums....
it's clutter
and the mods do a good job of moving them, but the n00bs come in here and post the BS so fast, its impossible to keep up.

The waiting Room - Off Topic

While everyone is waiting for their phones, I thought I would start a thread where we could just talk without worrying about going off-topic. If you want to talk about how other phones compare to the HTC First, rant about rotten fruit and the vegetables that use them, etc, than this is the place.
Just please remember that all of the forum rules still apply here though.
welcome to XDA
Hi everybody, I am one of the mods on the team, welcome to the forums. If you post a question thread here in the General forum and notice it is missing, please check the One Q&A forum and you might just find it there.
If you posted a placeholder thread simply to gain thanks for doing nothing, you might have to keep looking...
Thank you,

about the placeholder threads.... you will close the placeholders or delete them
? people start the placeholder index threads (they are closed) and then when the device is released their thread is opened again and that is not fair. if such threads are opened again then what is the use of closing them at the first place. it would be better if you delete any placeholder threads when they are created.
just a request to mods that you delete placeholders.
thanks

To be honest I hadn't decided completely. I understand that such threads are going to be opened even though they are really off-topic and have nothing to do with the phones. In some cases depending on the quality of the post and the attitude of the member, I might undelete/reopen it, but I might not since the only real purpose in opening such a thread now is to gain thanks for doing nothing of real benefit and I don't think that type of behavior is generally to be rewarded. Especially when it is really of no benefit whatsoever. Not like a placeholder for a [GUIDE] or something actually potentially useful, especially if done by a well-known member with a good history.
Thank you,

Not yet. But according to The Verge, the One Mini will be released in the US (AT&T) on Friday. Hopefully, some dedicated Dev might be able to port its (4.2) ROM to the First - or use it to help get CM or other ASOP working.
some pics i took
i think the htc first is a sexy looking thing, and decided to take some pictures using a background defocus mode. didnt quite work out since the camera doesnt recognize PHONES as a face or anything to focus on...so i did the best i could and came up with this.
i had to compress the pcitures, originaly each one was around 3.5 - 4 megabytes in size and was around 2000x1400 in size or something around there. in otherwords. huge.
R.I.P. to that CM development that we had going on a few weeks ago

That's a fine looking piece of hardware you've got there (;
I regret not getting the black now because the red model strains like crazy and I've tried everything from putting it in a bowl of toothpaste, alcohol, baking soda, and soap to let it set in the freezer over night but no results
and here she is

thing is guys. Rashed can do it. like he could do it blindfolded and port like anything no joke ive seen this happen. but what he needs is like a ton of spare time. being in highschool is busy stuff. im just fresh out of there and into college, barely find some time to sit down and ruu my phone cause i use it for like school and stuff.
so if we all have patience either he will do it or someone else, so dont get sad.
also, some plain logic. the more we wait the more people buy the first and the more support we get.
Sadly the First is discontinued so not much people will be buying it unless they are looking for it specifically lol.
