I've been trying to get the flash interface for whoneedsaniphone.com to work on the Tilt with HTC TyTN II rom, but no such luck. Anyone else got this to work and would like to share their process?
Thanks so much!
Just had a look when I saw your post, didn't have a problem loading it.
Looks like it could be a pretty promising interface, a bit basic at the moment.
Make sure you follow the instructions, you don't need the .NET package, but you definitely need the Flash Lite package as it is built on flash.
One to keep my eye on.
if i were you, i'd leave this alone for the time being. i've played about with it a lot on both Hermes and Touch, finding it still buggy, slow and unreliable.
there's update to come soon, but how soon we can't tell since one of the guys working the project has just had a kid. well, his lady has anyway.
we were promised some sort of release "within the next few days", and that was over a month ago, so bookmark the page but don't hold your breath...
Thanks, Dr. J. I will definitely keep my eyes out. I agree it is a bit slow. I don't see using the launcher interface everyday, but it's cool to see what I can do with the TyTN II.
Robw1978--I did install FlashLite 2.1 and it still gives me errors on the Tilt with HTC rom. I've read mixed reports of successes and failures on various problems on the TyTN II. I was able to get it working on the Hermes.
What errors are you getting? I'm tried it out on mine and it ran just fine (still very buggy tho). Did you put everything in one folder? You should also soft reset after you make any settings changes since you can't kill FUIServer from the task manager.
No dice on my Tilt either... followed the instructions to the letter, even did a hard reset just to see if it was something else on my Tilt, but it won't work. Oh well for now...
Thanks for letting me/us know that it didn't work for you either.
I loaded the software onto my Hermes and it shows promise.

First things first, device info. Cingular 8125, summiters latest ROM.
My messaging is not working. As in when i click the hardware button, it just illuminates the device. If I click "Messaging" from the start menu or from the windows directory I get the same. This is the second time this has happened to me. The last time I completely blew up the device and upgraded the ROM (was using summiter's 2.3, so it's not a ROM issue). The phone was working fine. I put it down for a couple hours and when I got back to it messaging wouldn't open. I did a soft reset and even the today plugin was gone.
The 2 times now this has happened, the common denominator has been configuring Wisbar Advance Desktop. I've searched their forums and posted but found no information. I'm making a backup of my device in case I need to blow it up again but I'd really prefer not to. If someone could share some insight or maybe tell me how to reinstall messaing it would be greatly appreciated. I'm assuming that the EXT-Rom's are just configurations not the actual software right?
HUGE Thanks in advance to any kind soul who can help me out.
I decided to just go ahead and blow up the phone again. I put Summiter's new ROM back on. BTW - huge thanks to him and others for making our devices so much more enjoyable. So i'm setting up just my core test software. ROM, Omapclock240, Wisbar Advance2, and Wisbar Advance Desktop. NO BETA SOFTWARE at all this time around. I have my mail configured and my custom WAD theme installed. I will leave it like this for at least a day before installing more software. If it doesn't tweak out, then I'll feel confident installing the rest of my apps. If it does the same crap again, then I will be convinced there's an issue with WAD and either the device in general, or my specific device. I really want this to work with WAD because it eliminates the need for at least 3 other peices of software.
So for anyone that's interested I'll update this thread with my findings. Also, I have noticed SIGNIFICANT improvement in signal strength since updating the ROM. Previously when leaving my phone on my desk at work I'd have to touch my right pinky to the ear piece, stand on one leg, wave my underwear over my head and yell "Git spook git!" to get 1 bar of signal. Now i'm sitting comfortably and my phone has typically 3 bars.
well that didn't take too long. Roughly an hour later, my phone had been on standby and POOF!! my messaging has gone the way of the Dodo. I have sent an email to lakeridge software support (though I think it's just one guy) to see what they have to say. I don't like paying for software that makes me have to reinstall my OS 3 times.
If anyone has any ideas, anything at all, please feel free to chime in. For the rest of the day, i'll try anything.
It gets weirder. (This is becoming more of a blog than a thread but I hope I'm enlightening or entertaining someone)
Out of boredom, I disabled wisbar advance and tried messaging. still nothing. reset, still nothing. no messaging. Then for some unknown reason I decided to try switching my today theme (while wisbar desktop was running) and presto! my messaging came back. I have no idea why. So for now, I have messaging. Let's see how long it lasts.
Hi,
I got a TYTN 2 in Singapore recently. It worked fine for a few days, but now it is very sluggish in its response and also hangs frequently.
Any Tips/ Tricks/ Advice anyone?
Also my GPS doesnt seem to work either. I tried a program called MapKing that came with the CD and some other stuff from sites. Nothing is able to detect the GPS, setting is at COM4, 57600
Thanks in advance

My Tilt is having the same problem: it wasn't sluggish, but was hanging a few times a week, so I went ahead and flashed the HTC ROM. Almost immediately, it seemed more sluggish than it had before, and still hangs a few times a week (sometimes I actually have to pop out the battery to even restart it).
I'm sure that's a very vague description, so I'd be happy to provide any further information that might help.
Thanks!

Hey, to reset, i never popped the battery, i just removed the sim card slot lock, and it would turn off completely. Dont know tho, might be dangerous. Would you tell me which rom are you using? Is it Helmi_Kaiser_1.57.00.02BigStorage_AKU.0.7.0.Cooked.exe ? I am thinking of using this one now.

Mine encounter lag every now and then. especially evident when using opera to surf. Screen will just freeze and have to wait a few seconds before I can do anything.

I've never tried to reset by unlocking the sim card - can anyone confirm that that's a safe, easier way to reset? Either way, I'd rather not have to reset at all.
Anyway, I'm using the ROM with the filename: "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.exe"
I don't know much about ROMs, and that's the only one I found easily in the forums. Maybe it's a bad ROM, which would explain performance poorer than that of the original Tilt ROM. Can anyone recommend a better ROM?
Fixed?
Just to catch up here:
I've been using dutty's ROMs for a few weeks, and the device is much more responsive. I still have occassional hangs, but I can usually soft reset - maybe once every week or two I get a hard hang that requires me to remove the battery.
Currently using: Dutty's NewBuild Rom N0.6 +NETCF 3.5 AT&T.zip
Awesome ROM!
i have the same hanging as described above ... screen doesn't react. effects typing on the keyboard also ... i hope this can be fixed by new roms or by some fix. I am trying to figure out what is causing this since it doesnt happen all the time. say when i am playing solitaire for an hour it runs great, when typing an email it gets bad again...
anyone had any similar experiences ?
update: going to try dutty's rom as suggested above will see how it goes
ok, so after a few days with dutty's rom no.6 my device seems fine with exactly the same programs installed. my guess is either it was caused due to using an at&t rom including the radio on a kaiser or some problem with the custel 2.0 rom (and probably a few others).
hope this helps someone ...
for some reason i have been getting a prompt about every few hours that says
"BatteryStatus Today-Plugin"
"this is shareware and you can use it "as is" and as long as you want!
thank you for using BatteryStatus Advanced!"
i have Open Touch v3.0 Biggy WM 6.1 that was just flashed last week w/no problems (only this little one).
any one have a solution for this?
thanks
DK
I have the same exact issue, it just started this morning. It used to do it before, too, and it took another flashing to get rid of it. It looks like the cook used an incorrect version of BatteryStatus.
From the BatteryStatus Author's site:
I have a nag-window sometimes. How can i remove that?
A registration system is currently in testing state. If you want a nag-free version (for a while) you need to register at xda-developers and use one of the versions provided there.
:'(
so where does this leave us

alright, its not just me. so what now? i really don't want to flash again. i am already registered here, so how do i get/install an "xda version"?
let me know if you have any ideas.
I just installed the BatteryStatusExt.1.05.UPXed.build_0290.CAB from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
So far it seems like my issue has been fixed. I hope it works for you, too.
I had the pop up since this morning too. I did a soft reset, and since then there hasn't been a prompt yet
thanks for the searching

I followed the thread and it says on the first paragraph that the BatteryStatusExt.1.05.UPXed.build_0290.CAB could damage your device.
this has me skeeved out. i might just give it a day or two, and if it continues, i'll just flash to Open Touch v4.0 Biggy. i just got this phone a month ago and i don't want to kill it yet. thanks for the suggestion

hmmmmm

i wonder if this is a coincidence? i bet that this pop up is scheduled at the end of every month or something like that.

EVERY version of BatteryStatus can hurt your device if you use it incorrectly. For example, overclocking to above 260 is not smart and will shorten the life of your device. It could just freeze up and stop altogether. It's nothing specific to that version, just that overclocking in general is pretty risky stuff if you push it.
i did not know that...

cool, well thanks for that info. i have seen a lot of people clocked at 247 and up, and i tried that, but i swear the back of my phone was getting hot. i switched it over to 234, and it runs just fine for me. i don't think i would be able to tell the difference anyway. great, then i will open that cab up and see what happens. thanks for the info orochidp.

Hey there,
A bit new, just finished loading Duttys WM6.1.5.2.1972_Hybrid_V2_1_65.14.06[CubeV2] Rom. Seems great at first. Had to download Goodlink for the corporate stuff. It works fine for a bit, but as soon as an Outlook reminder pops up, suddenly the touch screen is completely dead. Tried all buttons etc on the front. The keyboard works and the buttons can be used as the menu choices, but it took a hard reset to fix it. Which then I had to reload Goodlink and it happened again.
Any patches or settings anyone can think of? Goodllink is the only add in I put in. Any other ROM's recommended perhaps? Thanks all!

I notice this is your fisrt post so welcome. There is a great deal of helpful experience here to help but it does certainly pay to pose questions in the correct place. If you ever have a question about a ROM then post your question in that area and you will be far more likely to get the helpful anser that you want. People are also sometimes too quick to 'Flame' people making such errors - but not me so hopefully this will help:
I am on that same ROM and have noticed that after initial ROM installation that the touch screen is initially 'prone' to what appear to be freezes. In fact I noticed on my device that I had to press quite hard to get any interaction with the screen and sometimes it did not respond.
Cannot say why but this has now completely gone and did so with each ROM install. It took a few soft resets to see the screen working correctly but it is great now! So it may not be your additional software. Just try sticking with it for longer and some soft resets. You might also try tweaking the sensitivity of the screen.
Suggest you search within the correct area and you'll see few comments about this kind of thing (but not many).
Regards
Thanks Tony. My first time posting so wasnt sure where to put it. Have done all you suggested. Worse case, back to the ATT rom, oh well. Will search also and try posting in the right location. Thanks!

i just reviewed the software online and i can make several predictions why this is conflicting with the rom. 1) htc home
go to settings>personal>today>items>and uncheck htc home.
let me know if goodlink works thereafter if not I have a few more predictions to why it doesn't operate correctly.
Oh, and i just noticed you had a cube version, which could also be conflicting.
Thanks for the input Red. Tried that to no avail. Even tried soft reset afterwards. It is dead before goodlink even starts. BTW, this will be worth a Pint or two if you get me working.
I thought it might be the Cube version so after several hard resets(storage clearing), I went ahead and flashed it with Dutty's Non Cube version just to see if that was it and it wasn't. I tried tuning the touch screen too, bumping sensitivity up to 200, didnt help either. Tried loading the tweaks program, but nothing there either helped(actually cant even use it when frozen). The keypad, buttons all work, but the touch screen is dead. Hard reset fixes it, loading Goodlink, which I have to have for its a corp phone, kills the touch screen. I believe it worked for a few minutes, then locked up. I need to reverify that just to make sure it didnt happen immediately with Goodlink install. Very strange.
Hi all,
for some reason, when i mess around with my phone, and install stuff, the people tabs stops working, and its starting to really bug me.
It seems that when i install stuff it happens, like just now. I had some themes and a font installed, and the phone was running perfect, and now, i just installed something else, and the people tab has died!
Does anybody know of the reason for this? Do i have a faulty phone?

I dont have any problems with this phone what so ever (using Duttys latest 2.5). To me it sounds like your installing faulty applications.
Its nothing that loads of people on here havent installed on their devices!
then you must be doing something wrong because this is the first i've heard of this problem
Actually I have the same problem. For some reason the entries of faforite people dissapear from the people tab. I run a stock Dutch ROM with nothing special...
Anybody know a solution?

Yup thats exactly what happens to me. Do you get an error report and then it goes back to the home screen and says launching touch flo 3d?
I run a stock ROM, and its really bugging me, because the good thing about win mo is that ability to install these kinds of apps, but im afraid to because the chances are it will bring back this errror.
I really don't understand why plp stay with crappy/buggy old roms... just because they are official... you should spend 10 minutes to cook one of the newest roms here around and you'll see how many steps they are forward to "official" ones

Agreed....I hate to say this gents, but the original ROMs that HTC publish are not as good as you think they are
If I were you I would pick a resectable ROM that looks like what you require, set your PDA up and "flash" away all the quirks and bugs that HTC introduce to the device!
I know its not right, but thats life with HTC.......
Official ROMs are fine.... until you find this forum
then you start installing apps... tweaking... uninstalling... it all gets messy.
You baisically try and create what custom ROMs do on top of a 'Official' ROM. Best advice is to Flash a ROM, you can always put it back to 'out of the box condition' by flashing the SPL and Official ROM back (i've had to twice for repairs )
if you are talking about your favorites clearing, that happened to me when i moved the people tab. i bet your favorites are hard coded to that location so moving or altering it messes it up in some way.
