Hey Gang,
I'm looking for something to enable PTT on a custom ROM. I seached the forums with the google and external sites, but no luck. I know your all asking, "Why the hell would he want to use it?", but I have an employee plan with ATT that included 250 minutes for free. So why not utilize it.
I previously used AKU tilt ROM, but switched to the official cingular (att) rom just to use the PTT. I was hoping someone could direct me in the right direction to either enable PTT, or a .cab of some sort.
Thanks,
kelpi

I'm new to the wizard world and read though tons of posts about backing up and restoring ROMs, but I couldn't quite find the answer to this question. Is it possible to take the instant messaging programs from the TMobile extended rom and install them on the Cingular 8125?
Should I assume from the lack of response that this isn't possible?
Use AgileMessenger. One IM client works with all the IM services. Pretty good!
From the T-Mo USA Ext Rom I used these 2 CAB files to get the program to work. Signed_Move_IM_Link.sa.CAB and Signed_OZPocketPC.Cab. and now i have the program working fine. Let me know if that works for you.

where did you get those as i can't find them :\ thanks.
I just tried this. It works great. I assume this program works via a Proxy? If so, is it a tmobile proxy or OZ proxy?
PS. found it on ftp.xda-developers.com/uploads/
perhaps this one:
ftp://xds:[email protected]/Uploads/TMo-US-Ext_ROM.zip
i'm gonna try this as well
so i got those cabs installed on 8125 but how do you make it connect?
can make it work over edge or wifi? proxy no proxy?
its not working on either edge or wifi on my 8125 on the cingular network
if someone could figure this out this would be a huge solution to alot of 8125 users
See this post:

It appears that this program uses text messaging instead of the internet.
I'm looking to see if anybody that has one of the AT&T Tilt or 8525 has a .cab or installer of the AT&T Push To Talk app. I would like to load it on my Treo 750 running WM6.
I've done a fair bit of searching and cannot find the PTT app on its own. Thanks.
I do have tilt, however I cant locate the ptt.cab, I'll be happy to send it if you can help me where to look for.
You know I'm not 100% sure on this. I believe the ROM has to be dumped. Can anybody help on this?
I'd be interested to get PTT working on the Treo.
I installed the "vp3g_ptt_enable_v2" .cab from the Hermes forum. Installed, but sometimes won't launch, and always gives the message "PTT is disabled while roaming. "
I think a good idea would to get the PTT .cab out of a Kaiser's Extended ROM and see what registry edits need to be made to get it to work.
i have an at&t tilt and i want the htc today screen,possible or not?
Yes....
Read.... Been asked and answered many times....
Hint... Check out Flashing a new Rom
sry i dont know much im a SUPER noob
in other words... ROM?? FLASHING?????
Well I won't get into ROM's and Flashing (incredibly large topic), but regarding the HTC Home Plugin, try the attached.
P.S for future reference, I searched for "HTC Home Plugin" to find it..
def flash a ROM to improve your performance x 1,000 compared to stock AT&T ROM.
Will be SOOOOOOOOOO much better!
Yup, I flashed a new ROM on my tilt, and the improvement in performance is amazing. I wasn't sure I was going to keep the tilt because it was unbearably slow and kept freezing up. Now it's fast and fun! I used Alex's home ROM, which worked out great for me as a noob. He included all kinds of great software in that ROM, including HTC home.
New Flash
Did it kill your Push to Talk? I was told by AT&T that it will kill the Push to Talk function.
Why would anyone want to use PTT when it's only for other AT&T customers. Are we the only one's with free mobile to mobile minutes? Seriously PTT sucks. Besides, I think there may be a cab around somewhere.
Why use Ptt
When I am waiting for our passengers to show up, I can make one statement to my crew that the people have arrived instead of calling the Copilot that is in the cockpit, the Flight Attendant that is in the Galley, and the Mech. that is out servicing the airplane. A real help. I will keep looking for the CAB. work around. If you find it please list it here.

Just copy over the PTT files needed from \windows and migrate the registry entries. I did it and it works fine on Alex's ROM. I just had to manually associate the PTT button with the program.
sorry being a noob
sorry for being a noob, but wil the link to the rom flash work for my UK Orange TyTN II?
With the lack of an an actual AT&T 6.1 ROM for the tilt does anyone know a way I might be able to hack PTT functionality back into my device? It makes my work a lot easier and I'd hate to have to give up all of the benefits of 6.1 and cooked ROMs for this one function. Thanks.
bro.. I've asked this questions so many times and it seems like everyone is stumped because no one has an answer or a solution. I have a copy of the registry of the stock at&t tilt. My guess is that you have to add the missing registry keys in your ROM. I don't see how that would give you the Icon for PTT but maybe theres a cab somewhere.. Are you on AT&T network? if you are are you able to get to MEdia Net Homepage?
The problem goes deeper than registry settings.
at&t uses some different dlls to hook into the Radio.
On top of that at&t now has tied a particular Radio Rom to their OS Rom which further complicated the issue.
PTT for WM6.1 won't arrive unless at&t releases a WM6.1 Rom (or one gets leaked).
PTT in a cooked WM6.0 Rom is possible if you cook an at&t Rom.
You can take WM6.1 ROM & SYS folders and AT&T 1.62 OEM folder and build a hybrid ROM from it that works with a 1.27.14.09 radio.
I've done it before and tested incoming and outgoing calls as well as audio, didn't test if threaded SMS was working...
I have no interest in PTT, but if you want to cook your own ROM and make PTT work on WM6.1 before AT&T releases a WM6.1, I'm telling you that it's possible.

Talk about a scary "Franken-Rom"! It definately needs to happen at the cooking stage though. A few of us have tried to come up with a way to add it in to a cooked Rom with an at&t base and it just never quite worked.
thanks for the quick replies, guys. I will definitely have to do a bit more learning before I can attempt the frankenROM idea, but that definitely sounds like something I will look in to.
add back ptt button
look for "XCSdM Fuze PTT Mod" - Remaps short/long PTT and LKP using Buttons menu in settings
ive searched, and searched and searched, but cant find an answer...
ive got a tilt using a custom rom, and i have an x-tra tilt currently runing the stock rom.
what i would like to know is if its possible to use the CV (Cingular Video) link on the custom rom or the media.net link to check account status and stuff
i can switch the sim card between the units and the CV and medianet work fine on the stock rom, but if i manually type in the url's into the flashed tilt, the links dont work.
i cant imagine im the only one that ever tried to do this, but im at a loss on how to make this work?
any ideas would be appreciated
50+ views and not one idea? com'on guys and gals....
That's because we have no idea what you're talking about.
Links? As in something you click on in Internet Explorer to get to another web page??
Or do you mean an application?

100+ reads and this is the first i get? well its a start...silly me, i thought ANYONE that has used the AT&T Tilt for more then 5 minutes would of seen the cingular video and media net links...
allow me to clarify...
htc/att winmo 6.1 rom found on the HTC site, version 3.57.502.2, released 08/21/08
Cingular Video:
from the start menu, click on programs, and then click on the cingular video icon. that opens up internet explorer and the link (URL) is http://cingularvideo.cingular.com/ from the HTC/ATT rom the link takes me so i can watch a variety of videos online
MediaNet Home:
from the start menu, click on programs, and then click on the media net home icon. this opens up internet explorer and the link (URL) listed is http://device.home/ from this page i can check weather, phone bill stats and usage of other phones on the family plan.
both of these work on the factory rom, but i havent found a single custom rom where i can type in these links into a browser and they work...

There is a good way to get continued help, whine about no one helping you and then be obnoxious to the first person that tries. I have had a Tilt for 2 years and had no idea what you were talking about. Mostly because ANYONE who has used the AT$T Tilt got rid of all the AT$T " crapware " after about 4 minutes.
The fact that you cannot open it using other roms and the fact that you cannot open it on your PC should tell you that they are proprietary links that are interdependent on other bloatware installed with your AT$T rom.
Unfortunately if you want your bloatware, you will probably have to use a crappy AT$T rom.
yeah sounds like device.home would be something that is installed on the actual phone, so reload the att rom and start digging.
Thank you come again.

Cingular video and Media.net are provided by AT&T are propriatary to AT&T and only work from an AT&T stock rom, and since they both suck; none of the cooks here are going to put it thier roms. The only way to get them is to use the stock rom.
Insted of Media.net use internet explorer and insted of CV use Youtube or Hulu. They work a lot better
Hulu works on the Tilt?
Hulu works by way of skyfire. youtube works via lots of ways now, but I prefer kinoma play - buy it, it's worth it.
As to your original post, I know what you mean. I liked cv video too. I read something about being thru a proxy or whatnot and you had to edit some settings. But the other posters are right, it is att and not really worth the hassle of cooking it or making a cab for it.
Also go get Opera as your browser (if you haven't already) - load a testing version and work with the display options to get just what you want.
These will make your tilt much more usable.
