[Updated 7-12]✚ The Ultimate Guide to Everything Amaze-ing! Help us update the wiki!✚

---

We need help to update the WIKI, EVERYONE can help. Please see the end of this post for more details - in the meantime everything you need is still in the google doc immediately following-
To the developers/contributors of this forum, if you send us a PM when you post or update something you believe is useful we can add it to the post! Or we can invite you and you can add it yourself! It is even easier for us if you have the DATE of the update in the title!

The ultimate guide to everything Amaze-ing!

Initial layout, content, and design by Silentbtdeadly, EclipzeRemix, GlacierGuy- other contributors welcomed!
Thanks to additional contributors: Dark Nightmare
We tried to link to all original work, if we wrote up any information you feel you need credit for or you can provide us to an up to date thread we can link to, just let us know!

Table of contents - clicking the following links will take you to that specific part of the BIBLE!

Advanced features of google docs!
Anyone viewing the document can click in the top right hand corner where is says "# other viewers" if anyone else is viewing- there is a chat box there that can me used.
I've allowed people who access from this thread to make COMMENTS in the doc - highlight some text, right click and click add comment - do NOT abuse this, I can turn this off. If you believe you can help clarify information or add a link, that is the best way to!
Contributor have full edit - I will put some advanced functions for you in post #3

We can expand upon this at ANY time, if something should be added, please let us know.
You can save or view this doc via the google drive app on your phone!(edited for proper formatting!)

You can ALL be contributors! See something that is missing the link, let us know so we can add it. Want to write something up you feel we have missed, or feel that information is not up to date - write up in this thread and we can directly link to that! Have battery tips, or specific apps, themes.. you name it - this bible is going to eventually cover everything about the amaze and any nooby question ever asked with your help!
We will likely have kernel source drop soon and we will have even more to keep track of, so we will need some serious help from the community to make sure we are all organized as possible!


All future efforts will go into updating the HTC Amaze 4G Wiki:

[B]Everybody please help get it 100% updated. I will be continuing to update as I can but I will need help.[/B
If you are updating don't worry if it does not look pretty. I (and I am sure others) will be able to format the new content that is added.
Make sure that you use the preview button before saving! If you somehow ruin everything if can be reverted...so don't worry.
Be bold and don't be scared to update the wiki...it is not that hard...just takes getting your hands dirty.
Feedback?

Changed not added to wiki yet:
7-12
Added the first 4 posts under the Advanced Android 101 section to reflect some of the new "how to" develop threads.

Change log:

Chars

Any new contributors added please post in the thread, your first post will be your change log, which I can use to keep change log updated.
Please let's try to stay consistent in formatting - no need to paste the actual XDA or external link, right click highlighted text and add link that way.
Please don't edit the table of contents box in the very beginning of the doc, it will break the links in the OP of this thread.
Let's make sure we only use red text for warnings and the important information that NEEDS to be read.
Clicking insert at the top gives us the ability to add in pictures, links, drawing, etc.. I am not opposed as long as it doesn't take up too much space and isn't confusing.
You CAN create separate docs if you think that posting here would be too difficult - just make sure when you are done with your new doc you click "sharing" in the top right, make it accessible to anyone with a link, but NOT with editing rights! Let's not use other docs unless it is going to be a VERY robust document with images and embedded youtube videos, etc.

You will see at the very end of the doc is an "expanded" version. I put a bookmark in front of each line(insert>bookmark), and then I highlight the text, insert>link and then click the bookmarks tab - choose the text that matches what you are bookmarking.. boom, done.

Easy sharing BBCode links for the Bible.doc and for this thread.

This needs to be stickied

Oh, I was up till after 4am working on it, and sadly back awake at 6am.. sigh.
I just hope that people will start sending people to this thread when people need help getting started - it still needs some work, but soon this will answer almost every question someone could have when they get an amaze..
And yes, a sticky would be nice - especially since we will have plenty to keep this updated.

Update: Dark Nightmare has been added as a contributor. If you both can post changes you make to your first posts in the thread:
I.E. -

Updated speed rom in ICS roms - 5/29/12

Something like that, I'll update the second post based on those so people can see what has been added without going into the doc itself.

I think we finally have a chance at organizing all this knowledge we have floating around these forums!!!

This awesome, when the noobies come around we can just all simply send them this link which will provide everything they need an more good job!!

And I'm hoping if the noobies(lol, love the term btw) think there is something we can clarify(that actually would help), we can make the bible even better..

Any other sections you or anyone else can think of? I'm wondering about ways to link to other useful threads - even threads that are closed like the "issues with ICS thread" I had may be useful.. maybe a troubleshooting section perhaps? A misc resources section?

I think forum members will like that they can help with suggestions and hopefully see a useful and well organized final product..

I think troubleshooting section would need the most work, most questions usually come from people who aren't really active users and find themselves stuck so then theyll post here.
Example "my phone is stuck on xxx after I xxx" etc
