I have 2 links, try them both

LINK 1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php)
LINK 2 (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/)

Warning: These links may require more than 2 (two) active and working braincells.

Thanks asshole. Seems you don't know how to search either since you didn't send me a link... If you don't have anything to offer to the thread, don't say anything at all.

"Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics, even if you win your're still retarded"

Bearing that in mind ill just say this: If you searched (or even looked at the first page) you would find exactly what you are looking for, how do you think i learn't all this stuff? not one useless thread like this i can tell you...

"We" don't get paid to help people, so we find it a bit annoying when people ask questions that have been answered at least 5 times already....

Have a nice day

[Edit]
Just looking through your recent posts and almost all your questions have been answered before and/or are in the wiki so I'll just give it to you again in case you missed it before

Yet, You still haven't show me a link. I dont see anything on the front page like you said. And that's good, you shouldn't be paid, because you're doing a horrible job.

to quote a great sig:

"Give a man a link, and he will solve his problem that day. Teach a man to use search, and he will solve his own problems for life."

Really, all this and you could have spent 5 minutes searching and had your answer by 12:00 (GMT)

Both the 1st and 2nd pages of this thread contain WM5 ROM threads, perhaps you could read them, discover the +'ves and -'ves of each one and decided for yourself?

Some people...

See, That wasn't so hard. I was searching for threads with WM 5 in them, and non show up in the results.

Oooooo... that was a funky 5 minutes, eh??? Now now children, let's not upset the ROM builders ;)

I am also very very curious about this human behavior:

People would ask before they think;

People would post questions and request for helps (and angry about not getting any help from perfectly strangers), when they do not want to invest their own time to read through the threads which contain the answers they have been looking for. Obviously, they prefer to waste other people's time...

The same questions have been answered over, and over, and over, and over, again, and again, and again, ...

Learn the lesson, RTFM (Read The F*** Manual), or RTFT (Read The F*** Threads), ...

Put your handbags away children.

It's not hard to look around a bit for information before asking - the layout is such that you can probably find what you want easily.

But coming back with a sh1tty reply is not helpful and doesn't add to the atmosphere of what is generally a good board.

That's my two-bob's worth. A bit of common sense and civility goes a long way. hehe.

Its been a long time since i've been part of this grate forum, i always use a search and 90% of the time i find thread or post which is relevent to my quary.

Search can be the best tool for some body if peoples know how to use it.

You know sometimes people tend to get nervous and impatient to look for something around!!

Then you only need to handle them with some kinda care huh? Needless to say a little time and bengo, there you'll find it. Just open up your eyes and look around dont be so spoon-fed!!

Seriously windowsrookie, educate yourself by looking through the universal topics on WM5, otherwise you'll probably screw up your machine when updating it anyway.

Spend a bit of time on it mate. :)

Well said, tyl. A bit of research goes a long way... I foolishly upgraded my radio ROM before properly reading the boards and fried my universal. Totally pointless excercise since there was nothing wrong with the original ROM.

Lesson's don't have to be learnt the hard way ;)

Geez, I can't believe we still get people like windowsrookie who goes around wasting people's time (let alone his own time). Seriously, just search, search and search!

It should be the case that a noob can't post until he's done so many searches ;) ROFL!!! (look at my joining date!)

I thinks that's not needed, i dave story: that time i'm at my travel to other city, but I have a prob with my Device (Not a PPC) but I have to use it, I call for service they just said: send it for service, hello i'm outside of town and need that think work, then i'm looking for help in web and found a forum (not xda-dev, like i said my device is not PPC), I register and send my first post for looking for help.Guess what i have reply just in 4 hour and it fix my problem.

So maybe someone who really need help will face trouble if noob can't post.
Just let they search, if not find any post, but remember, if no anyone reply in 1 day, do search again maybe you miss that.
Because i'm sure many talented people in this forum, which make this forum muc, much, much, much and much better than any service point.
Be cool headed, coz we are here from different country, respect others.

I LOVE THIS XDA-DEVELOPERS BROTHERHOOD !!!

As I already said, I tried searching. Go and try this type "WM 5" into the search. You will get no results....

If at first you don't succeed, give up and ask because it's easier.

Alternatively, try "WM5" or maybe "Windows Mobile 5".

Sometimes you should just give up completely and think to yourself, hey man, if I can't even work out how to use search, can I really flash a ROM without breaking my device?

Err wm5 would bring up millions of results, and only a few would be useful, imagine searching for w and the number of results.

This is why most search engines require more then 3 characters to search with. This is why GPS or WM5 or ROM would not be found. WM5 ROM however probably would create a search string...

OK no it doesnt either, try "optimized wm5" that would work.

AlanJC

12-02-2007, 11:45 AM

But you're assuming that someone would be willing to try more than one alternate search string to help themself.

This was obviously not the case.

Either way, I don't think this person cares, I know I don't, so perhaps it's time for a good old fashioned thread locking barn dance.

Maybe it's just me, but is this thread really worth continuing? Just delete it as it's just wasting space on the board.

Indeed... gotta agree.

Recommend this thread to you for decent WM5:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036

However, I would suggest you go for WM6. In which case read these two threads:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291875

and

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290970

Again, read the threads carefully and check out the universal wiki on upgrading. If you cant be bothered, then expect your device to turn into an expensive brick. You have been warned.

Its a tribute to all those who contribute their time and energy to the site !

Cheers & looking forward to learning more stuff (-:
