Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period). If someone would like to suggest a potential setup for the Tilt section in the Wiki, please let me know.
I limited this to address nothing but Tilt questions that seem to come up waaaay too often…
How do I put/install/flash a new ROM on my Tilt?

How do I remap the stupid PTT button on my Tilt to something useful?
Well, you can flash your Tilt with an HTC ROM which will fix it instantly, or try to read through this (reading = pain in the ass) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334759&highlight=ptt+button
How do I SIM (subsidy) unlock my Tilt?
Assuming the phone was obtained though ATT legitimately (i.e. you have a contract with ATT): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335392&highlight=sim+unlock (if you’re a long-time ATT customer this is Guaranteed to work)
Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)
How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?
Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.
Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?

Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?
Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.
Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.
Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?

I flashed my Tilt with an HTC ROM and now it freezes up a lot, how can I fix this?
You need to do a Clear Storage. Known issues causing freeze-ups at this time include have PIE save your temp cache to storage card, using some versions of the HTCHome plugin, and older versions of BlackBerry Connect. Issues outlined here:

You need a mobile registry editor to do this:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation
just set the "enabled" value to 0 and that will get rid of THE most annoying startup animation/sound ever (thanks to myself)

Update: How do I make my Tilt look like an iPhone?
Find the closest building that is three or more stories tall, get to the roof, and jump off.
-that would make sense if most new users in the forum actually read the wiki, which they usually dont...also, the Tilt is going to be the most popular variand of the tytn II for a while, thats just a fact of life because of the amazingly low price you can get it from with AT&T.
I think everyone's made there point, so whether there is a sticky or not, it doesn't make any differences, for all the forums that I been in, I have noticed that new members never follows the rules, they will just post everywhere, they cannot be bothered to search first.
the way I see it, just have a mod to delete all duplicate thread or members asking for the same thing, that has been posted before.
it's the only way to get rid of all the excess thread.

Thread stuck.
There IS an over-abundance of stickied threads at the top of the Kaiser forum at the moment. However, because the Kaiser (and all variants) are so new, there will be MANY new users with many repeated questions. So a temporary solution is to sticky threads with the most important/commonly asked issues and questions.
In the near future, all this information should be migrated over to the WIKI with a single sticky directing everyone there.
So guys and gals, get those dictionaries and thesauruses out and make the WIKI nice. It should, after all, be a group resource and effort.
Redundant Questions
The reason you have so many redundant questions is that the Tilt was just released into the largest consumer population in America, Caaaleefornia as Schwartzenager says it. Unfortunately, all these Left Coasters that always have to have the latest & greatest gadgets don't know the difference between a MSM7200 & a BMW 750.
Having said that, now I need to ask a ??? I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?

I'm with you on that. But if TT is considered warez, so should ROMs since tilt owners did not buy a kaiser and he's posting about those. and with TT you still have to buy the maps.

haha true, i guess that is the paradox we are faced with...also I'd like to thank whoever the mod was that got rid of all the threadcrapping, it was definitely needed.
We've always accepted that we walk a fine line on the ROMs.
Technically when you purchase a WM5/6 device you have purchased that OS. We are able to Mod our desktop OS to extremities that PPC OS will probably never see. Cooked Roms are the answer. We do draw the line at ROMs that include WAREZ.
Now if you could come up with a way to have two OSes installed on your PPC at the sam time then this gray area would be decidedly more black.
BTW, you're welcome on the clean-up let's try to keep it looking good in here.

AT&T are the crappiest ROMs, and the people that seem to stay with them and have questions about them are almost always newbies that dont want to take the time to learn about flashing their phone (which is basically what the whole purpose of this forum is - improving your phone's current OS by flashing it with a newer, better one, which 99.9% of the time NEVER includes an AT&T ROM). Sorry to sound rude to those of you I've rubbed the wrong way but the majority of those people whom I have are AT&T users new to the forum who dont want to take the time to read.

Indeed I have been able to crack it, but I will not share how I did it as I suspect that Schaps wants to keep it exclusive for his roms only. If he does not make it public available, I will write a similar app when I find some free time & release it to the community as I believe that it gives some added value to our roms!

Well, the files are easy enough to extract. In my experience, the app just won't run by itself. I think it's looking for a registry key.
I'm also not comfortable about hacking an application and releasing it for public use when it's author has clearly stated that he doesn't want it circulating for public use (and wants it used in his ROMs only).

I was referring to the utility made by other members of the forum, it's nice not having to work twice when the person who created the utility in a few minutes can make public (as here not sell anything) taking high reputation for its developer, in addition we are many and many nationalities, some people may have difficulty with a WWE Rom rather than in his own language.
Now also Alex his roms have this app. Home come there still is no cab???
To replace this beautiful app (hope one day Dutty will be friend of Schap's ; ), how can I make a shortcut to shutdown my Kaiser? I've tried several apps (poweroff - installreboot - xpshutdown), and shutdown functions only stand-by screen.
And I don't want to install SPB software or 'heavy apps' just for one function...
Had a look in registry (HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power) but don't really know which key is used when I long press the power button.
Thank for any suggestion!!
danm when i first saw the title of this thread i was hoping that someone found the cab to the program, but unfortunetly people here are still looking for it.
Heres an interesting test.
I just installed TomTom Nav6 on my TyTN II but the map seems a little outdated and I have no way of updating the map. If anyone knows how to for "free" id like some advice.
BUT...
I also have a new TomTom One that has the newest maps of North America.
So heres the question....
Has anyone tried to copy their North America map from an original TomTom One device and transfer it to their TomTom Navigator version on their PDA?
Is this even posible? Do the two devices use the same file format?
If so, this would be amazing, I could update all my maps with my TomTom One, and just transfer the files over to the TyTN II.
Wadaya think guys?
Careful, asking for "Free" maps is requesting WAREZ and can lead to a ban so consider this a warning.
As for your second question, it really depends on which version of TomTom you are running on your phone. Backup your current maps and give it a try.
im not sure he's asking for free maps he's just wondering if he can use the maps off is stand alone tomtom GPS unit for the Navigatror on his PPC and it dosent work I tried it a long time ago. Best option is to buy new maps.

Damn that sucks, oh well. I guess it woulda been worth a shot.
What exactly happens when you try to run it with the different file. Maybe someone can alter the file so Navigator will recognize it.
OR. Navigator might need more files than just the one Map file. Im not sure if anyone has any programing experience with TomTom, but theres always a way around everything
And agin I will remind you that asking to work around TomTOm's map security is asking about WAREZ.

im not asking for WAREZ...i OWN a TomTom one, I OWN at TyTN II. I OWN the software on the TomTom. I OWN the software on the TyTN II.
All i wanted to do was transfer one map to the other device if it was posible. What does this have to do with "downloading" cracks, hacks, torrents, keygens etc.
Last I heard trasfering files from two deviced that you own, along with the software on them, was legal. If im wrong for wanting to do that, I apoligize and wont mention "Warez" again. Sorry.
I think your best bet is contacting tomtom, and telling them about your owned software and whether they can cut you a deal
Tell them how you're a valued customer, how you might migrate to copilot or garmin, etc.

The reason why it is considered WAREZ, is because of the fact that if you do own the maps, you own ONE copy of it, if you wanted another, you would have to purchase it for another device.
been done
i'm not saying the transfering of maps has been done, i'm saying that this has been talked about atleast twice that I have seen. what we decided elseware was that it would be infringement on some copywrites and that it would not be done or talked about on here. I would say that since kyphur has given you two warnings you take our word for it. been tried, failed and even if it is done we will not let you know how to do it because that would be making us an accessory. google probably won't help you either sorry man.
You can run any tomtom map on your pda, but you will need a key to register the map.
And that software is illegal, but it is out there.

Not strictly true ..
Tomtom on the PDA is circa 6.032, and will run maps up to circa 6.75.
Tomtom One, Go, 3/5/7/9xx etc. can have their firmware / OS updated via Tomtom Home to version 7, this is not available to PDA devices - Only stand alone Sat nav devices.
The latest maps will only run on version 7 OS, and since you cannot update Tomtom PDA version 6, the maps will not work.
This is regardless of warez etc.
FYI - some files have different filetypes !!
If you read (on dubious websites) offers to install the latest maps on Tomtom, they refer to version 7 on version 7 stand alones and not PDA's
If you want the latest maps, get a Tomtom One (or Go etc.)
This post does not condone software theft !

Greeting All, I promise I wouldn't resort to starting a new thread unless I had exhausted all other options. I've searched 25+ different things on Google, read literally hundreds of thread and thousands of posts learning and creating. I've been a Mogul user for a year, but have now moved on to the Kaiser/Tilt. I've made a fantastic ROM and love everything about it except for one thing - it's missing PTT. I own a computer business and our techs use this religiously. I'd love to have it back, but have searched high and low for an OEM or CAB. I even tried extracting it myself from the latest AT&T stock ROM, only to have it never install right after creating the CAB.
I've hit road blocks and dead ends all over the forum. 4 times I found what I needed and all times the CAB/OEM/RAR no longer existed. Googling the file name returned nothing. The best I have to go on is this: I saw in a discontinued thread there was an OEM package from "_Alex_'s UltraClean ATT 1.60.502.3 ROM OEM Packages.rar", namely "PTT_2_0_614_713". It's even in the screenshots in the WIKI, but I can't find this package in v5.1 of the posted OEM packages. I've hunted everywhere for it. Forums, FTPs, Google... either I'm just completely missing it (possible - been at this problem for around 15 hours) or it's just not there anymore.
Can anyone possibley provide me with a link to the UltraClean RAR download? Or at the very least that specific OEM package? Even a CAB of it would suffice - I'll make an OEM. I'm about ready to give up and *gasp* flash a stock ROM so I can have PTT back until I get this solved. Please, someone point me in the right direction if you can. Thanks so much for everything the major players do on this forum. Love it!

Peace. ~G
This is extracted from Hermes, see if it works!
Very cool, thanks for the help. I have the same files from the original AT&T ROM, yet I was having problems converting it to a working CAB/OEM. However, your attachment helped me run across something else that might work. I searched for "PTT=2_0_703_715" instead of "PTT_2_0_703_715" and came up with a few more hits. I think I can build an OEM from it and eventually a CAB. If so, I'll be sure to post it all here for anyone like me.
Thanks so much!
::EDIT:: - I just realized that this IS a complete OEM. The file I was missing before was marked as system so it wasn't showing up at first. (When I recreated it manually, I got the error of it's already there...) I'll see if making this into a CAB works on the cooked ROM. If so, you're my hero. If not, you've still given me something to work with!! Thanks again.
::EDIT AGAIN:: - Well, creating a CAB from those files didn't seem to work, but it's entirely possible I just did that wrong. It installed successfully (so it claims), but I can't get the button to remap properly either via Registry during install or manually assigning it to PTT. (Mapping it to Comm Manager and MS Voice CMD works perfectly though.) Starting PTT manually (from the PTT folder under Windows after install) seems to work at first. It warns of possible extra charges and starts to provision service, but it never finishes. No error message (that I can make out... there is a scrambled text message which is what currently happens when someone who has PTT tries to message me or their status changes, etc). I'll try cooking it into a ROM and see what comes of that. FWIW, I also tried building the additional files from a stock AT&T Tilt firmware. I'm hoping someone else can come through with the original OEM files I was after (pictured in the Kaiser Kitchen Wiki from _Alex_) so I can try to turn them into a CAB. Otherwise, I'll keep tinkering with what I have to work with and see what happens.

Sorry for the double post, but this i something that may help others running across this thread - rusyn posted a cab that might work. Unfortunately I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like they had luck! The thread is HERE. I'm skeptical if it maps the PTT button correctly because it looks like the same files I packed myself into a CAB, yet it gave me a bit of grief with that. (Of course, I very well could have done it wrong, but it was far from my first CAB creation.)
Either way, give it a go if you were hunting like me.

I was wondering if there was a text to speech module that reads out loud the name of the caller when the phone rings. I've a friend who has a symbian phone that does it, and I find the feature pretty cool.
Sorry if this has been adressed elsewhere on the forum, but a forum search didn't turn up anything.
software which speak name of incoming caller
very true even i am looking for a similar software -- which speaks name or no. of the incoming call
There are alot of ROMs that have this feature cooked into it. Honesty it is a really great idea but it gets annoying after awhile. I had it on a couple of the ROMs that I was using and after a couple weeks it gets annoying. Also there is no way to turn it off. I now look for ROMs that specifically do not have this feature. Just my 2 cents.
I think Microsoft Voice Command has a built in option that will announce incoming calls.

Yes MSVC [Link Removed] can do this..
MOD Edit: Microsoft Voice Command is commercial software, and cannot be distributed in CAB form.
As stated earlier, Microsoft Voice Command supports announcing the incoming caller by name (if in Contacts) or number (if not).
MSVC is commercial software that retails for $30USD. However, since several variants of the Kaiser shipped with MSVC pre-installed, you can flash a cooked ROM that includes it, and would not have to purchase a license separately.
Any posts linking to a CAB installer will be edited, and only 1 warning will be given before a short ban is handed out.

No problem at all. I'm 100% certain that you meant no harm.
WM6.1 has it preinstalled. If u have AT&T.. upgrade the ROM upgrade free.
Some Kaisers are shipped with Cyberion Voice Commander. I guess similar function available (never tried though).
I currently enjoying the MSVC and it's quite fun. You can even ask 'what is my battery status' and it'll reply with the status
Thanks for all the replies guys.
I was hoping to find some freeware that does it because I think paying 30$ just to have the name of the caller read to me is pretty steep a price to pay I'm not veru interested in the rest of what MSVC has to offer. Oh well!

I have upgraded, went to settings for MSVC, but am still having no luck.
Whats the deal? How do you "ask" it a question?
