I didnt mean that you were stupid, but if you really work in the field, you should know there's no prefect recipe for a successful website. It depends on a lot of factors; I dont know that any set of statistics, regardless of where they came from, can really nail it down definitively.

I'm not trying to discount what you're saying. You have points, but I dont think they should be stated as if they were absolute truths. As the guy said, the site seems to be doing pretty well, despite how terrible everybody has claimed it is.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
It works both ways. People should be telling him what they think about the site, if ever he wants a proper chance of making it better. The other way around, only negative feedback undermines his enthusiasm.

AxE-mAn, your post is amongst those that tend to escalate discussions. So far I've not seen any sarcastic nor meaningless (see first part of my post) posts in this thread. Beside that, you basically insult the critics by saying they'll come crawling back for sure, something you have no way of knowing. I suggest you keep it down a bit yourself.

Now, as the initiative to take sharing for the X1 to the next level, I like the new forum. The only problem that I still have with it, is that your recruit through XDA. I would like to know what the mods think about that. I'm not going to tell-tale on you, but I would appreciate it if you asked them yourself and let us know the result. That would also settle any dispute caused that way for the future.
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
OK first things first I am making a new skin for the website as requested by more than a few members but its not gonna happen over night so bear with me.

As for advertising its not like iv posted an advert for underpants on a site that sells cars. This is a thread about a site that iv put a fair amount of hard work into. Its in the x1 section and I believe it will be useful to an x1 user. I made the site because I couldn't find one like it, there are Lott's of threads on xda with software and a few library's. but they seem to bee scattered about a bit. what I'm attempting to do is get everything in one place. If there wasn't a need for the site then there wouldn't be 200 members in less than a week. If the staff have a problem with this thread then all they have to do is delete it and I wont repost. would a website not come under the category of software? would making a website not come under the the category of development? it works on the x1 (opera landscape) and its for/about the x1? I don't see what all the fuss is about its there if you want to use it......

Theres no need to be so dam rude either I don't ow anybody anything! all feedback is useful but the way its sometimes worded revs me up. Theres a difference between criticism and constructive criticism. Im not god but I will do my best to keep you all happy.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Hmm

Well, personally, having become a big fan of this forum since getting my Xperia, and having tried to contribute here as much as possible, I think a site that relies on it's security to make people contribute puts me right off from the beginning.

I hate forums that force people to register just to view and think that it should be only reserved for link following and downloading.

I prefer dark colours for these kind of sites mainly because i view them at night and it's less harsh on the eyes but even the disgusting colour of XDA works.

The layout is a bit "WareZ Scene" but nevermind.

Anyway, my point here is, it "sounds" promising and I ish you the best of luck, but without being able to check the content before signing up. I won't be going there.
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
Shame you wont join:( There are no downloads on the site just links to other sites were downloads can be found. Hope you change your mind:)
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Sorry.

Unlikely I'm afraid, I really don't mean to be mean but if it's links only, it's even less use to me, 100% of things I have been looking for so far I have google searched, and 100% of the time I have been linked back to XDA forums where 100% of the time I have sucessfully obtained exactly what I needed and been able to download it directly from the thread I was viewing.

It should come in handy for tose not so seasoned in google searching or for those who don't know what they want before they go looking.
[XPERIA X1 General] drgooglib:
I'd welcome constructive criticism, but so far I have seen very little of that. Mostly, it's just people saying the site sucks or the post is spam.

It seems like a double standard to me. I've seen plenty of other posts with links in them. For example, lists of other resource sites, or mobile websites. Nobody called those spam or advertisements.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
I disagree, most of what I have seen has been constructive criticism. I wouldn't say it's fair not to allow it being mentioned here, because like you say a lot of places link each other etc.

However, in reference to the design, both programmatic and aesthetic I have seen and contributed some contructive responses.

Some alternative themes or even layouts would be preferable and more in line with current web standards and as I and some others mentioned, allowing the forum to be viewed without registering would encourage people to take a look.

This current behaviour is that of warez and elitist, PITA websites.
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
I am in the middle of creating an alternative skin. The theme will be the same but the text will be black and the board background will be white, I'm relay having a hard time sussing out how to change the text input box to white lol its doing my head in.

People that truly hate the forum skin can preview the new skin by going to

User CP> Profile > Modify Profile > scroll down to Select Skin > New1.

But its not finished
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
I Need An Image Expert!

I'm trying to improve my website but I'm having a few problems I want to use this image

instead of this image

to show that a forum has new posts but I cant find how to edit the transparency with active pixels.

I need to remove the white lines that show on the 4 corners of the SE logo when its on a dark background. Auto transparency removes the gray parts and leaves the green.

Id also like to rotate this image

180 degrees but when I do it looks like this

Can anyone recommend another free program I could use or tell me how to do it with active pixels?

or just do it for me lol iv been trying to do this for days and its really p***in me off.
[XPERIA X1 General] satchef1:
I think it's a good idea myself, this forum is quite busy and can be very confusing/difficult to find stuff on. What i'm not much of a fan of is having to register to view the forum, it feels like you're trying to force people to sign up. You'd be better off letting people linger and trying to encourage discussion yourself. Eventually people will sign up and contribute off their own backs.
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
Id like all people that use my site to give and take.

Registering only takes a few min and you need to be a member to post your useful links for the use of other members.

If you could veiw the links without registering people would just use the links, never contribute and the content would never grow. If you see my way of thinking.
[XPERIA X1 General] Angelusz:
Does your site support PNG? Transparency is easy then.

BTW: Good free image editor is the GIMP. Google it. If you can get it, photoshop is always better though - what I use.
[XPERIA X1 General] satchef1:
The percentage of contributing members in a locked forum will be higher, but you'll have less members (and potentially fewer contributing members) overall. Plus, you want Google to index your threads, which AFAIK won't happen if the forum is locked (one of the reasons why all Warez forums are locked up tight, Google exposure is bad for them).

Try it, i'm willing to bet that in a week's time your forum is more active. You'll have quite a lot of lurkers, who will eventually sign up when they find they need to contribute/post a problem.
[XPERIA X1 General] w.i.n.d.l.e:
Ahh nice one thank you so much:D Your a star!
[XPERIA X1 General] mikebem:
i don't know... I have read this thread as I got intrigued by the topic but then I quickly realized where this all is going to;

as someone said before, to each their own right? and I do know that having a catchy name is more than important in order for a site to be successful (except for forums like this one that actually does have interesting content) however, I personally think that calling your forum a ProBoard is a bit of an overkill.

Anyway, no one will stop you from starting a forum dedicated to one phone but then again, what can you and that 180 people community offer to xperia / windows mobile users that xda can't and won't? you said that you find posts like 'oh i had the same problem with my diamond' irrelevant... how so, both devices are running the same platform and issues are very often connected to the software or the os build and not to the specific piece of hardware...

anyways, just my 5 cents there, don't want to be harsh but you just won't get any of the really bright stars of xda to feed into your site as they won't find any value in doing that;

xda is the place to be for windows mobile related discussion, sorry
[XPERIA X1 General] Sera_6969:
I think (and hope) ProBoards will be a great one stop shop for Xperia links.

XDA is the best, the daddy, no doubt about it but i don't want to search through the entire European football fixture and results lists just to get Real Madrid stats.. If you get what i mean...

I seems when syncing the contacts with myphone on touch pro or diamond it frezee up on 60% when restoring back the contacts, does anyone have this problem?

so far i can confirm me and other person from myphone forum is having this problem, he has the diamond and i have touch pro *fuze*
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Howler82:
I have a fuze. I have no issues with myPhone. I have restored about 3 times now (everytime I flash), and I let it sync everyday. Works just fine for me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Praygo:
MyPhone

I can confirm… I do not have this problem. I flash roms and sync contacts and texts only through myphone constantly. Never had freezups. I even do the myphone update over the air just fine. Here is my bug…. And I don’t know if it will ever get fixed.

I have an email account setup though active sync which syncs through my companies exchange server. I DO NOT have it set to sync calander or contacts or tasks. When I sync email through active sync it greys out the possibility to sync contacts through my phone saying” calander, tasks, and contacts cannot be synced through myPhone since it is already syncing through active sync” So even though I do not have the check box “contacts” ticked through active sync. MyPhone freaks out and says I’m already syncing contacts through exchange. Damn!!!

I should post this in a Microsoft beta forum. :)

[G1 General] someprogr:
I've been reading in the Tmo forums about people who have been having battery cover problems. Does anyone have the issue where if they press the battery cover side that is between the power button and the camera button, it produces a clicking noise, like that of a snapple top?
[G1 General] xyrcncp:
Yeah, I just live with it.
[G1 General] mannyb:
It's rather a chirping sound in that same spot on my dev phone, but I fixed it by putting three layers of tape on the inside of that corner of the battery cover so that it can't move about when you squeeze on it. No more noise.
[G1 General] someprogr:
I'll have to try that out. I already put 4+ layers of black electrical tape on my keyboard to stop my phone from creaking and making a buzzing noise through the earpiece. I guess a little more tape on my phone won't hurt, thanks.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] kllngtme:
no idea what im looking at...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AbsoluteDesignz:
real fan of the potential of this theme...in fact you should link up with stericson and moonspoon to go systemwide with this with xml edits and all of that. i look forward to this.

also...no spraycan as the apps tab...i dunno, i feel that may cheapen the theme....the apps tab should be two dots and the top circle only...or some design, but not an item.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
this is just the wallpaper and some icons thrown on there to show you whats coming.... like to kno which icons are best for the first version.. then ill get to work

-i kno its not your usual "theme preview"
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
ya kno what thats a great idea... keep the clock with the icons with the menu tab with status bar... keep coherency... and ill check out ur idea with the 2 dots and the half circle... but damn making these icons is a *****... changing the orange to black to yellow and then placing the respective parts together in one icon..

but ill do it
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AbsoluteDesignz:
PM me a quick run down of what you need done for the icons and ill help out as best i can. im pretty good with photoshop so it wont be a half a$$ed effort.
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
ill send some after work but ill work on some w my mini
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] chrisag92:
luvin this preview

i can tell gr8 potentiel

i agree with AbsoluteDesignz u shud team up with sum ppl 2 make this

i bet it wud come out great
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
i hope to this time around... waiting for the responses first before i go knockin on doors lol.. but hopedully i can get a screenshot or a quick mock up of everything to show people more of the look of the theme... but first gotta twist up the colors...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
i added the icons i made.. took a good hour to copy them over... may not use all of them.. but here is a quick screen shot...
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] chrisag92:

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ryan75:
Sweet! I've been waiting for a photobucket-inspired theme. :p Just kidding, I actually saw the mock-up a couple of days ago and it was excellent. I'm all for colorful themes, and orange is one of my favs. I'll check back Sunday and see if I can find me a new wallpaper. ;)
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
sure thing im trying to have the entire mock done... to then just copy everything over.. im working behind the scenes... sorry about the mix up... and i added a lil touch to the color scheme... 3 clocks to choose from.... status bar icons new... floating colored icons.. etc.. hot menu tab... hope you guys enjoy

- did i mention a clear gloss effect, youll see
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] ryan75:
Right on double, it sounds like it's going to be even better than graffiti grey. Good luck.

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
well i actually changed the clock a tad bit... but i can do something with the white clock, in time... unless u wanted it packed in a regular update
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
yeah i kno its off topic.. but just showing you a possibility for my next theme.. Dream Theme... only have a prototype but i want to do more with the graffiti citrus first...

-black status bar (white clock)

-Black menu tab (White arrows or none)

-icons would be black with white.. i dont want to reuse the citrus icons, so ill try to find some more... but i can change the colors to black and white
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bootleg16:

digging the black and white appearence.

i think right now u should just finish with the orange one cus then where gonna have 2 different ones.

lol
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
yeah i will finish the orange one then go on to the Dream theme... here is a quick super early screenshot

ill open another thread for this one when its further along
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] bdaboy338:
what weather app your using to display the temp in the status bar?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
that would be weatherbug i believe... it places your location's temp in the status bar, can be changed to white or black for theme coordination

you have 4 choices of the theme... all are the same except for the changes listed below them

my very most current version is the last one on the bottom... (recommendedd)

and the pics on the last pages are of an upcoming theme of mine

Wow apologies for the inconvenience.... what download was it? My most recent edition might be my hero version theme, other than that I haven't heard of anything like that .... pm me or msg me on Twitter...

Will change link n re update....

Also no this is not compatible for hero....
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] shaithis01:
I really like this theme, the only thing I'd like to see is more contrast in the top status bar. Battery, time, etc are very difficult to see. Love the icons too. For instance, using the latest version my clock's numbers are white where yours are black. What's the cause of this?
[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] doubleokneegro:
the clock is white becuase of the services.jar inside of the framework folder... an easy fix is to open the JFbuild your are on, grab the services.jar and copy and paste over and flash and your time will be changed back to black

if you dont understand that let me know and ill do it for you... :-)

3. Multi-ring, black hands..

[G1 Themes and Wallpapers] AbsoluteDesignz:
