[What to install] Just got new Tilt 8925

Just upgraded my phone from Treo 750 to the New AT&T Tilt. It is a new company phone fresh out of the box with a 4gb memory card.
I turn to you for guidance on how to get the most out of this phone.
What are the must haves?
What Rom and Radio?
etc
Thanks in advance.

you need to hardspl your phone first, and then you can start flashing. there's a few different rom available, and everyone has their own preferences. my advise, read read read, and then read some more.

Well, i must say you came to the right place. But you're asking the wrong question my friend. All i can say to you is READ. You will learn there is soo much info on this site that it will take you at least a month to narrow down your own decisions on what you want/need. Everyone on here has a different preferance for what they want/need. I'm not going to flame you, because you don't deserve it . . . . YET Just do what we all do and have been doing ever since we came in contact with our 8125/8525/8925 . . . . READ. Start with the Wiki, and then start reading up around the forums as for what is avalible for you to @#$% around with. Have fun, and trust me , YOU WILL!!!

Welcome!
Read... and read some more. It's really a matter of taste. I'd start simple with things that won't break your phone, but once you find out how to flash that won't last long. If you don't want to flash I recommend pulling your battery before the device customization on first boot. If you've already passed the point you can hard-reset by pushing both soft keys and resetting with the stylus. Pull your battery when your device says "Device will customize in 3 seconds..." and all of the ATT bloatware will be gone!
Just a few things to remember.
HardSPL First!
GPS Always runs on COM4 Baud 4800
Make sure your radio works with the ROM you have chosen
Have fun!

I honestly considered that because I miss not being able to use the 8925 with one hand like the treo. I got spoiled being able to text with one hand.
Oh well I still have a few more weeks to decided.

Don't listen to them
Phone is awesome. Yeah it does have a big drawback in the 3D rendering department, but, hopefully, we will solve this in future somehow. Besides, there's no perfect phone.
I just wanted to recommend u to try out iGo MyWay Plus 2006 for GPS software. I think it's the best, and I've tried many.
Definitely install KaiserTweak.. and if you're into games, I'd recommend games by company called MoreGames, they have some awesome stuff.
Oh and get a CorePlayer QTV for video.

actually it is pretty easy to fix that. I use the resco keyboard with the iskin and it is almost like using my treo. have fun.

Thanks for the advice....
What about iGO 2007?

Must have freeware and apps (for me anyway) with no flashing
Google maps
Windows live
PCM keyboard
HTC Enlarge Start Menu
IE Slow scroll fix
Mini opera and Opera mobile
TCPMP (with plugins such as Flv and WMV plugin)
HTC Dialer
Duttythroy 1 calc
I personally prefer to keep the natural look of my MDA Vario III but do like some of the apps originally found on the cooked ROM's

Sorry to thread jack, but I thought it's supposed to be COM4 Baud 9600.

What is the "Kaiser Tweak"?

I'll be in your position soon. Getting Tilt within next two weeks. I've already been reading trying to catch up and focus on wants/needs. I love the I phone look alikes, but so many to choose from...need the best close to Iphone theme. lol!

I use TouchPal for my one handed keyboard. Love it, but it took some getting used to.
I still often pop out the keyboard since I moved my instant messaging entirely to my phone and sometimes will have long conversations. I also flip open the keyboard when taking notes and whatnot.

i would not consider this a thread jack since the guy is new with his tilt as i was 2 weeks ago and i too strugled to find out the proper baud rate for GPS.
it is 4800.

Thanks for all the info and advice guys.
I did a hard reset on my phone last night and pulled the battery at the right time.
I have installed the following so far.
iGO
Kaiser Tweaks
Total Commander
I need something to customize the Today screen. How do I get the big clock on there?

phone is nice yes but i need to test the nokia n95 8 gig i hurd its better.

What abaout 3d drivers?

Is anybody working at 3d driver from kaiser?

i currently have a LOT of my more techy geek friends looking at the kaiser to see what they can do, but they have had the phone for a month and have history of writing drivers and right now they don't look promising. maybe others with more software/drivers programming background are working at it but i wouldn't expect anything anytime soon. the phone has been out for a year and no one anywhere has written drivers for it

In htc daimond rom are 3d drivers?

Obviously so, the newer 6.1 roms (most of them) have improved video.

3d drivers .. yeah they are stunt racing right now. I'll let them know you want them as soon as they come home. Just to let you know: they are expensive so be prepared to pay the price they demand.

Whats The Problem??
Had to add my P.O.V
My Kaiser does exactly what I want it to do now it is upgraded. (Thanks L26 vers 5)
As far as drivers for 3d go, tom tom works perfectly fine, videos play top notch, worms world party is faultless, quake plays nice enough. Who needs anything more?
The Kaiser is a fantastic little device when you consider what it does for the money. A short while ago I was getting fed up with video playback and the odd internet problem when scrolling. But as far as I am concerned, my little baby is wonderful and out performs any of the previous devices I have owned since the newer rom updates for 6.1 have become the norm and have been tweaked by the generosity of all those who stand infront of a hot over (EVEN when on vacation.)

while it may seem a little funny... ever wonder why the gxmark on cooked roms when from the 500-700's to 1500+???
im not saying its the complete solution.. but its a [email protected] good start...

i think i need to clairfy myself:
mark i thought u were being sarcastic when you wrote that you were running the drivers so i took it as a joke and cracked up if you were, however, serious than my apologize didn't mean to blow off what you were saying as a joke.
Hope this clears up the air. i have gxmark on leos rom that i am running right now and it is definitley an improvement in the rom, however i don't think its the full drivers that we all had our hopes for

Homescreen background on all Tabs?

Doe anybody know if this is possible? Now I only got the background on the hometab, but it would be nice if it is shown all the time... A quick search didnt do the trick for me

id also love to be able to do this, anybody have any clues??

Yeah i would like something like this too.
Maybe even an option to have a different background pic on each tab, so say i have a Dark Knight pic on my home page behind the clock an stuff when i move across to say settings for example i could have a different pic there instead of the plain black with the squares underneath!

bump, the more ive thought about this today the more i want it!

/signed =)
Looked in the files, but have't found a way to do it :\

Me as well, did a quick look around the picture files and was hoping that it was just a normal background picture, but I had no succes as well :S

well i assume it wud jus be a case of replacing the image of the grey squares wherever that file may be. for having different image per tab would probably need additional software i would assume. then again, im just guessing. gonna keep this thread open because this is something i really want on my diamond

I'd also love to get an answer to this.

This is not possible till now.
If you use the search, you will see, that it is not possible to change any graphics of touchflo3d till now.

Lol, that's exactly what I assumed. The 'till' made me think twice, but getting back on topic. I'd love to have this also.

another vote from me also. this would be a nice bit of customization to have..

Sorry that may bad english confused you all. I meant: It is not possible at the moment.

Hi.
Anyone knows if it's still not possible to change the background on all of the tabs?

This would be a very cool feature

it sure would! And I’ve seen a lot of people asking for this feature, so I’m surprised that non of the diamond experts has figured out how just yet.

sushilange and D-MAN666 are figuring this out right now ...
They are developing an app to change the manila files...

phone vibrate when typing

Hi. Ive been searching for an app that can/will vibrate when your writing a msg. Does anyone know about that? Ive been searching and searching and didnt find anything about it. I miss it from my lg ku990. It would be really cool, if my diamond could do the same. I hope someone will help me

here ya go.. put it in the startup folder if you want to to run always

this seems to be a recurring topic, think its a feature alot of people would like, but many of the apps that are currently available have too strong vibration.
Something like the vall hiting the wall in teeter would be more appropriate feedback for a key press

yes, I would also love a tiny feedback like in teeter.... this one is also too strong for me.. I had to stop using it after an hour because it drained too much battery... and its also to loud

Well, it kinda sux if it drain the battry too fast. But hey, maybe someone will make a new and better virbra app

I guess a lot of people would love to see that. It would help to type SMS blindly. I hope some dev goes for it

It could also be really cool, if we could adjust the vibrations in 3 or 5 levels.
So everybody can adjust it to what they like.

I second this!

Second that notion - would add a new level of depth to the phone if we had an app to customize vibrating feedback for certain operations - and if they felt like the ones in teeter then WOW!

So isn't there anyone here who can do this?

I will donate if someone makes an adjustable vibra app! I want it badly!

I'd love to try making this kind of app. I'll be getting my diamond next week and it would be great. I'll look into the WM6 api today and see I can whip something up.

..
ok i thought this was going to be cool.but it so ain't it vibrates way too much! can someone please tell me how to remove it?

You'll be the man of the month, nah lets say year, if you can make this to all of us I dont know how hard it is to make. The only problem i see, is how to adjust the vibrations. Its a tricky one.

the frequency or wave of vibration will be very important.

Any news? I would love this program...

A Perfect Circle/Tool question

Alright guys, im sure almost everyone has heard of A Perfect Circle, or Tool. If you listen to it while you are alone, it can get pretty crazy. So what are some things that you can stare at or do while listening to them? Personally, I like to play the music on my computer, and put the visual designs on fullscreen. Its like tripping out, except your not high.

A compass, ? Elaborate
Anything like iDrug or something however

Any web sites you know of that I can go to that have a fullscreen image of a crazy design that changes and things like that? As in, things like the visuals that computer media players come with

Ahh I see, nope sorry just had a quick google and nothing found

I know most people will disagree, but I love A Perfect Circle. Tool are okay but don't really do it for me as much.
Anyway, go here...
http://www.zoomquilt.org/
Zoom in (Ctrl +) so it fills your browser and go fullscreen (F11). Click and move the mouse cursor up. The only problem is that you need to hold the mouse button down so you can't just sit back and chill.
Edit: Ah yeah - get some Electric Sheep in your life http://electricsheep.org/

Thanks man! thats exactly what i wanted.
