well.... I don't think that is quite appropriate, cos somehow it still belongs "cracks / hacks".
No offense pal....

If someone has the 'desire' to do so.... I believe that person will still find a way out, right ?


This post has been edited by friends: Aug 17 2008, 01:50 PM

updated the 1st page.

Just have a second thought..... added JB links.
If not appropriate, please feel free to PM me to remove them.

updated.... thanks for the info.

what is so-called "100+ pages how to read all" ?
you are just giving out an unacceptable excuse dude ! To me, this is called LAZY !

are you saying that, if you boss asks you to do a research on something... you would probably tell "so many resources out there, how to do ?"

same logic applies.... pls DO research or reading lar before you say so.
Mind to read them up.... ?

Anybody asking for spoonfeed will need to
And, whoever answers any Qs to the newbies will

No offense...

Well... like I said earlier somewhere, every single individual has their own perspective on one single thing.
We unable to please everybody here.... it's totally up to the forumers' mindsets and 'attitude' while browsing
thru here.... either to learn by him/herself, or choose to be spoonfed. Of course, either one, you may or may not
get always what you expected. If you don't... then find another solutions to sort out your doubts/questions.

To me personally, those newbies/noobs choose to use their 'immature' way to post their Qs, not even care to
read up some threads at all.... Yes NOT AT ALL. Dude, you are in a REALITY world... Do you think you are
still in the Uni/College 'society' where most of the things still spoonfeed to you ? If you are not being pampered to
be so, then I don't think you would like to be spoonfed at all here neither. Does that make sense ? You do your
own LOGICAL thinking.....



It is totally up to the forumers, to make their own calls on everything... It is undeniable that everyone has the
experience of becoming newbies/noobs before.... but, the question is.... which level of newbies/noobs you are ?
Why some newbies/noobs get their answers on their Qs, and why some are not ? There must be a reason behind, isn't it ?

So... to overcome so much of these troubles and hassles, I think something has to be done. Sometimes like, Qs that posted
are VERY LACK OF INFORMATION, don't you think so ? At least information on what he/she has done, what
firmware, what problems (more details one) have to be provided.... Otherwise, how do you expect Seniors to help out on
this kind of Qs without enough of information ?

I believe everyone here is very keen in getting their doubts/problems/questions resolved, there's definitely a way to get to the
right path.... Either the HARD way or the EASY way.... They make their decision on that.

Again, most of the things in this world, you need to do the rest of the things by yourself only with a small piece of useful information provided.
You shouldn't always expect every single things from anyone at all..... Only with that kind of method, one can gain the knowledge, or more precisely is "stand on your own feet".

No offense to anybody here, nor anything.... It's up to you to choose on which perspective you are looking at things.
Peace

it should be under SETTINGS -> SOUNDS -> RINGTONE.
