Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

If anyone can point to members and/or website/books that can help me out with all this modding - that would be great. Trolling is fun, but contribution is better...

And now for the obligitory head-bank: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

PS - I program, design and architect software for aliving, so I can imagine this winmo stuff is really all that hard... If I can program in assemply... lol

your best tool is read through the forums and just tinker wih your phone get a reg editor and just start messing with it you can allways hard reset if you mess things up just dont try to install any roms or unlocker till an official one comes out alot of stuff in the tp2 forums work on imagio so check there as well

Yep just play with your unit a bit. Flick it around and stroke the screen a bit. The forum can get a bit cluttered but you can find what you need, really xda is a tad more organized on the educational forums in my opinion. What is done here, a lot you cannot find in a book or anywhere else on the web. Best bet is if you have an imagio start reading the new posts everyday and trying the tweaks and by the time your ready for your next device you will be a pro. But I have been with Win Mo for 5 years now and I'm still learning.

Yea I know gay as hell. Hungover, just rolled out of bed and just started typing. Should have slammed a Monster and then typed, apologies.

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

depends on what you want to do.
xda development and hacking forum is a good place to start. go on the elite team chatroom and hook up with some of the devs there.

good luck!

I just hit you up with a thanks for both posts because you made me laugh

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

No, "gay" would be two men screwing, kissing or getting married...


You talking about about units and things is just... well.... creepy :???:

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

Thanks a lot! :) I shall start there and inside some WinMo development books. SImply hacking a registry isnt going to let me get into ROM's and such...

This isnt the first forum I have read statements like this. OCer's Club too has lots of this going on. Its not entirely accurate though - nothing related to the technical is... not in my experience anyway.

EDIT - not trying to be rude to anyone, just saying. I actually find it charming at this point that every new technical group I join hs everyone at the beginning saying something like "nothing to learn directly" when there probably is SOME. Nevermind, I just made myself seem like an *******... lol

Thanx for the heads up... SPB backup will need to be a purhcase - I hate the idea of hard resetting, I would rather just restore! :mrgreen:

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

Thank you all for your replies, I look forward to even more...


IMAGIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

I wasn't sure what type of info you were looking for.
everything diamond has a good chefs forum if you want to learn how to cook roms.
xda has some great info as well but also has great info and ideas for program development. the best thread here for rom development is in the software forum where all the latest test builds are posted.

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

Thank you very much! THANKED!

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

definately get a registry editor, you can poke around in there and get a feel for the devices architecture. Yank all the pic out of the phone's windows directory and you will see lots you can do there with the graphics. there is lots to screw around with, i think thats why many of us like these phones.

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

Get the mode9 editor over at xda and you will quickly see what can be modified graphics wise on TF3D, it is not that difficult. I have no pc or ppc programing experience and I have figured it out just by trolling thru the forums. My time is split between xda and ppc geeks. I used to have the htc touch before the imagio. It was my first wm device. I have been at it for a couple years now.

Re: Where to learn so I can contribute?
 

Here are a couple of places to start:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...BA_PersonalCAB
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ckstone_Custom

You'll need some pieces of software like:
wince cab manager
the manila editor keith is talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...89&postcount=1
ce reg editor - this is good for comparing registries to see where changes were made.

Anyway its a start.

Eveyone thanked - GREAT info, thank you much - especially the last three... :-)
