Droid-Wiki anyone?

[Denmark]

Hey there,

I've already had a few unpleasant interactions with my Droid (Factory Reset to removes my girlfriend's gmail account? Seriously?), and I'm really wondering if there is a Wiki out there for it. If not, we should really make one. I bet there will be many questions on these forums that could be easily answered by pointing to a wiki help article.

I think if you have more then 1 gmail account it allows you to delete the main one without a problem, i think it just needs to have 1 on the phone at all times, someone can correct me if wrong.

I'm not super-interested in trying again, but at the time, I added my own account, so there were two on there, and then tried to delete hers. No go.

Okay, I just created a test account, added it, and removed it. So that worked. But I still don't believe you can remove the first account you added. Or maybe not an account that has contacts? Even so, I think a wiki would be nice for documenting these issues.

Bump.

My friend used to have a G1 and told me there are a couple main Wiki's he used to really understand everything fully.

I found the Android Wiki, but are there others that are just as useful?

I would really like a Beginners guide to the OS functions and files, i.e. recovery .img vs nandroid backup, etc.

These defined would help me wrap my head around everything. :unsure:

Mastered BB OS but struggling with Android. Rooted and all that jazz but i would like to understand it vs following instructions (Thanks to all! they work!) and being a "droid" to my droid. LOL.

I've created some how tos on this website. if someone finds a place to host the wiki, we have lots of info here in this forum to contribute.

One of our users has one up. Contact him. Here's his page. Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum - View Profile: qoncept

and here's his "wiki"

Droidipedia

Mine is up but the content is kind of limited right now, mostly to things I was interested in and couldn't find any clearly written documentation on. So I'm pretty anxious for some contributors I'm hoping once a few people start writing articles it'll just kind of take off.

I have a lot of stuff I wrote on apps since I got my droid, and I've been looking for a wiki to put it on.

I found other wikis here:

Android - Dan Dascalescu's Wiki
motorola droid faq wiki: Main

I'm probably going to use qoncept's since it has a GNU license, but the other two have a lot of good information on them.

Is there any way we can make this more official? Can we link to it in a sticky?

I'll make one if you want to

 

[aminaked]

But it's hard to be a jerk to people in a wiki :sad:

 

[zackify]

I'm making one right now.... Will post when made.

 

[zackify]

It's up
Main Page - Droid Wiki

I need some help though. Anyone want to be a moderator and help with writing?

My apologies for saying this, but there are already 3 (or at least 2 and a half) wikis up - do we need to fill in a 4th?
