Hi I just upgraded to an at&t tilt. I have been reading these forums to get some customization ideas. Now I just want everyone to know this is my first ppc, just had regular cell phones before this. I have a general idea of what to do but I could use a little help.
What I want to do is get the regular black htc homescreen plug and the home screen customizer. I need help getting ahold of them and installing. From what I have seen so far I just need to find the cabs to dowload directly to my phone, or get them in a zip file and sync them from my pc. If I sync from my pc were do I put them on my phone to access the cabs and install?
If anyone can help me out it would be awsome. I need to find the files and how to install them, unless they are cabs i can download directly to the tilt. Also if anyone has any other cool apps they think would help I would like to hear about them; I will probably get pie scroll fix and some other helpful stuff too.
Thanks for all your help.
Here are the versions I'm using, with no problems. Alternatively you can go here: http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html
You can put the cabs anywhere on the phone (in any folder - my documents for example), or on a sd card then just run from there.
edit:
the home customizer didn't upload but you can get it from the link i posted
Thanks for the speedy reply!
Thanks I will install them and hopefully it will come out the way I want it. Can u put a screenshot of your homescreen so i can see what it looks like? Oh and do u have any recommendations for other tings to make my stock tilt better?
kaiser tweak
Does anyone know if the kaiser tweak already has the home screen and customizer with it, or will I have to install that seperate?

just flash a new rom.
Flash a new rom
To tell u the truth thats what i wanted to do was just flash it with the kaiser rom but I am kind of afraid to do that because i dont know much about how it will work, what it will change, if it will still work tight with at&t and i dont want to mess up my phone and void the warranty. If i just add plugins and apps I dont have to worry about it as much. Plus I have no idea how to do it.
Here you go boss

I just got my tilt a week ago, and have probably flashed it at least a dozen times by now playing with settings and trying out different ROMs.
The only problem I've had with AT&T was when i put an incompatible radio on, my sound stopped working. I could still make calls, I just couldn't hear anything.
A reflash fixed that. Other than that I haven't had any probelms
Just read through the wikis and other peoples posts and everything will(should) turn out fine
??
the link takes me to a page that say rotator admin login?
well I will have to read through the wikis. what are wikis anyway? lol!
here is the link to "G.W.E.N.I" which is basically just a big collection of helpful information/links
are there any better or newer versions of what is posted?
the backilght does not work on this version of htc home
I've had a Wing for about a year now (t-mobile). During this time I never really read much about modding the phone and such. However, it is a bit plain and very slow if anything is open.
I've been reading a lot and recently changed the pagepool size and am now working on using PocketMechanic to move stuff to the flash card. I do however have a couple questions:
Should I flash my wing or just optimize how it is now? What is a good home screen I can download that doesn't kill my battery life? What will I be losing if I flash? Do all the ROMs kill my battery life? How can I choose the right ROM for me? I can't decide after reading over a lot of them.
I know someone is going to say use the search. I have and have been reading for hours lastnight. If someone can just help a bit I'd be much appreciated.
i would definatly flash your rom, i would use one of the open touch roms they all have good battery life. flashing your wing is like optimizing without having to take the time to find the programs and do the registry tweaks. a good homescreen i think is spb mobile shell, just make sure you disable smart gestures, i usuall can go around 2.5 days without charging.
Downside?
Are there any downsides to doing this?
Cant think of any downsides, its all for a good cause, oh one downside, you might lose your applications you've downloaded if any. Other than that its WAY better that the original T-Mo ROM
You've been wasting your time using the original stock rom. Flash a new rom (I reccommend ITJE or ASERGs) and you're going to see a 2 fold improvement on your phone immediately.
the one downside is that if you dont follow the directions you could brick your phone
So I tried a number of ROMs today:
-Papa
-Multiple versions of the Open Touch ROMs
Here is my conclusion and thoughts. Perhaps you guys can guide me a bit to a final solution.
They all look beautiful without a doubt. I didn't have any initial problems loading or using any of them except the lock program wasn't locking the volume control. However, just do perform quick tasks like I normally do to lock the phone or go to the comm manager felt like a chore to do. They looked nice, but I had to go through a lot to do anything. The Open Touch ROMs with Throttle Launcher were annoying when viewing mail because you could only quickly see 1 at a time with the large mail that pops up when you click the icon.
I really like the look of the SPG Shell Theme they have right on their homepage, but it's not free. Any of you guys have advice? I use this for work a lot so the mail / calendar / tasks view are really beneficial for me to be viewable at all times like the default theme. This is why I was saying SPG looked nice with whatever theme it is they have on their site.
I will try an Aserg on my phone tomorrow as it looks similar to the default.
Anyways, thanks in advanced for all of the help so far. I really appreciate it.
You'll be very satisfied with Aserg's rom. I look foward to hearing what you think.
Keep in mind, any rom you flash, you'll have to set up a couple of things ... such as the device lock today plugin .. settings, etc ... don't expect a rom to fulfill ALL of your needs from the moment its flashed. When you get into a new car, you still have to adjust the seat, mirrors, steering wheel ..etc.. You can't decide to scrap one car because the mirrors weren't in the position you wanted them to be.
Hi everyone! I recently bought a T-mo Wing on ebay and as it's my first pda phone I did exactly the same every newbie does: I've messed things up.
The first problem was that I started to download and install every app I thought I would use. Soon realized that IN FACT I would use 10% of all that ans started uninstalling things. Till there, I was good, but then I found pocket mechanic pro and its "registry tweaker & cleanup" killed my voice command and made the phone loop forever on bootup unless I remove the memory card. Besides, I have memory shortage problems and lots of things I will never use like myFaves, t-zones, tons of icons and silly images .... So my questions are ....Is there any T-mo "official" ROM with all the T-mo stuff removed?? I don't have problems with the rest of the apps and bricking the phone is not an option: I'm latin american!! used wing was really a financial effort for me!! The second question would be: Is there any way to restore the registry keys that pocket mechanic erased?? I know the answers might have been already posted but I've been browsing the forums for about 6 hours with no success ..... Can anyone help me on this??
Thanks
Wow.... really long

The easiest way to go back is to do a hard reset. (Hold the two softkeys and press the soft reset key.) As far as "official" ROM, there isn't, but there are a lot of third party ROMs. If you hardSPL your phone (which runs the slight risk of bricking your phone) then you brick-PROOF your phone.
Wow!! I can't believe you ...I mean YOU, took som time to answer my post!! I read lots of stuff here made by you. Thanks man! I'm really honored.
The thing is that if I hard reset my wing all the T-mo stuff will be there again, and some of it is non removable. There are lots of pictures and icons that I won't ever use. What if I take the latest T-mo ROM and delete all that without modifying anything else?? I mean, no t-zones, no my faves and no TONS of avatar pictures.... would that be possible?? Again, thanks for answering

lol. Thanks for thinking so highly of me.
It's possible, you have to dump the ROM and then recook it, though.
You could also wait for my SuperJustKitchen and build your own custom ROM. ^_^ But either way, you HAVE to HardSPL. There are no ROMs that can be flashed with the stock SPL other than the stock one.
That's exactly what I'm going to do!! I'll wait for your SuperJustKitchen and remove all unneeded stuff from the latest official T-mo Rom. In the meantime, I will try to recover my voice command without hard resetting just for fun. I really don't need it because my spoken english is horrible and by the time it worked, almost never recognized what I said . Anyway, it really annoys me that a supposed registry cleanup made by pocket mechanic messed up the system that way. The Wizcode forum has a solution that actually works just for the full version of MVC. Nor upgrade nor OEM are fixed by that "patch". I would like to know if there's any way to decompile it and make the corrections manually. It's supposed to restore some deleted registry keys but I couldn't find wich ones ....Would that be possible??
If it's a cab, it can turned into a OEM/EXT package which lets you see the registry keys by themselves.
Sorry for the delay....
Hi again! It was not a .CAB .... It was a [email protected] .exe file. Tried to open with winRAR and 7zip but with no success. Finally i found the dump of the .reg file that voice command uses. I was not able to import it (there are some path errors and I know NOTHING about reg scripting), so i had to write all the keys and values manually. It worked!!!! After a soft reset voice command was there! After that I disabled it because my english sucks and VC could not understand what i said ..... but still works!! Still waiting for your kitchen to make a new ROM for my wing .... Thanks again for taking the time to answer me ...
I don't know well, but...
Maybe you can have good luck in hard-resetting and do not enter into customization, but soft-resetting.
Another way is going into Extended ROM and analizing the .cab files there, and erasing some of them (better if you save them into another place).
Please wait till someone "better than me" will confirm those data I told.
On the other way, if you don't like T-Mo ROMs the best you can do is Hard-SPL and flashing a new radio+ROM. You by yourself realized Ivan has good ROM's. And the one I'm using now is also good.
No longer available. All links to content are dead. Sadly, I do not have a backup of my work for the Treo 750. Sorry Treo 750 users, it is time to close this chapter!
When you flash this ROM, it will come with the default Indigo theme, there is nothing wrong with this theme you can just switch to another theme afterwards! Also this ROM takes a while to load, it is 23XXX build which is newer and takes a while to load at first! When you get into OS you will be confronted with the OEM help screens, just skip through them, everything will be fine! I am still working on this ROM so I might post updated version soon
Nice work, i am downloading it.
Does the Powerbutton lock the Treo?
What a nice WORK!!!
All the Hermes forum is supporting your work dude! keep it up!
I see that you fix the radio is this true?
hope you can make things works for the next releases!
+Que PPC Congrats!
It works great, but
-how can i adjust the brightnes (fn+p doesnt work)?
-the taskmanager dowsnt open by pressing fn+ok
-i cant hang up calls???
Remember that these builds are for testing purposes There will be bugs. This is a chance to try out the latest WM 6.5 builds on your Treo. I will make more builds and post them so you can try them . Just be patient while I build them.
ROM updated, download the new copy. Should be more stable and hopefully some bugs fixed.
Remember to change your regional settings after you boot! Settings > System > Regional Settings. Also set regional clock to h:mm:ss tt for 12HR time! Reboot all should be well
I have found this ROM to be very snappy. It works very well speed wise with no lag. Wait until the tutorial pops up and quickly go through it. Then it works perfectly. To lock the device, just press the white (fn) button and the end key. I understand that this build isnt perfect and am willing to deal with the small problems.
Warning: Back up cause I lost all my contacts and calendar info. Pretty much all my personnel data. Luckily i did backup.
UPDATE: This is talking about the ROM before navendrob did his first update.
UPDATE #2: The buttons settings do work. Had to soft reset a couple of times.
I dont know if this is just me but my phone wont boot into the OS after your new ROM. It could be that it got corrupted during the download and extraction can someone else check. I still have the original if you need it.

I'll take a look when I get home from work I just flashed it and it work OK for me.
On your first ROM, is there a way to disable the lock where you must press the center button. I use s2u2 and that is messing it up.

You can adjust brightness by going to Settings -> System -> Brightness
also, check the buttons setting for the fn+ok at Settings -> Personnel -> Buttons
I cant hang up calls either. The talk screen doesn't come up.
Moreover, on the time issue where it is at the 24-hour clock. I couldn't find that option in regional settings for English (US). The only time settings had a 24 hour clock. I switched it to English (Canada) and was able to just the time and date settings to match standard US formats. Hope this helps.

I am going to try another build and I'll exclude the auto-lock.
Also remember that our phone is over 2 years old and this isn't supposed to be on our phones so not everything will work correctly... until I fix them
I am actually expecting bugs. I am just trying to point them out so more talented people like you can fix them for others.
Looks Great Thank! but I cannot set the ring tone (Always Blank!) every time I go to save it switches back to NONE
UPDATE: cannot see my SD card either?
I'll try soft resetting, is that done by pressing the reset button next to the SD card slot?

Try a soft reset. That fixes some bugs. I don't experience that problem at all though.
yup, cannot see sd card, even after resetting via the button next to the sd card slot. I will have to go back to previous timebomb fixed version for now

Thank you! I'm working on some builds now to release later this morning. Around 9AM-10AM EST.
Attention everyone! I managed to port over 21828 OFFICIAL RELEASE tonight to our beloved Treo! Look for it the AM
This release is stable, fast, and smooth. It is the official release build (as far as I know). I managed to rip it from Topaz ROM and port it to our phone. I am excited about this!
Now to fix the stupid keys If anyone has a numeric key listing for the Treo keypad I could really use it!

I got it. Flash aospCMod or CM7 (has long press volume for media next/prev while screen is off) then get app "button remapper" and remap your phone key to media_play_pause with state wake (works while screen off), then in cm settings allow quick unlock with whatever button you want (menu,trackball,etc.) For fun you can also "freeze" the dialer and other apps so the OS won't operate them, use titanium backup. Turn off data in settings. Let me know if you need more guidance.

hmm i think i see what your saying...your saying do a fresh install of aosp so that i can get into it and change the settings.. sound about right? hmm food for thought a fresh flash would land me having to touch the android to start set up
edit...nvm im a dummy...just dont flash gapps..lol
...ill paint a picture what im doing... i have a very nice stainless steel plate ive made for the dash in a mud toy that im going to mount the phone behind and just expose the screen and track ball..from the im running it to an amplifier...ive run this setup before in a jeep...the hero is permanently mounted in the dash..lol..sounds goofy..but just a toy..and the phone was free with upgrade when i got it...just dont have the touchscreen part on it anymore...

what ROM were you on before? Hope you have a nand backup...
I now fully realize your intent, and massive roadblock to get there. It should be doable, but maybe by someone with more time or more ability than I. You would essentially have to create and update.zip for YOUR current ROM so you don't have to wipe /data. The update would have to have the hard keys remapped already built into the ROM, which is not that hard. This way, since you would be flashing over, you would not have to go thru setup. And in theory once the ROM loaded, the key mapping would already be done. AFAIK nobody has ever done the volume long press but cyanogen, and since I/m not a fan of kanging and wouldn't know where to look, you would have to remap differently. Like phone key could be play/pause, menu could be next, home could be previous, etc. This is all theory, but it should work.
AWESOME! I just re-read the thread where I learned how to remap, and I forgot you can do this with ADB while in your ROM and then reboot, no new flashing Go read this awesome thread, thanks to Decad3nce >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
All you need to do is pull heroc-keypad.kl and make the edits to the keys you want and then push it back.
Hmm...sure would be nice if I could just remove the start up menu and the lock screen.. I figured out how to rename keys on my evo.. My issue is getting past setup and past the lock screen...thank y'all for the.help..im gonna.mess with this during my spare time...for now ill just use an old droid I have..also remapping of keys isn't real important since I can use track ball to navigate. Solution for getting past the setup menu and lock screen is my goal.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Seems there is an option in CM for menu unlock? Just thinking out loud, but that setting would be in some XML file I'd think so the setting could be changed in that and pushed back somehow. Definitely beyond me as to that exact process or what apk or what XML that would reside in.
~maybe I set it too high...
OT - did you say JEEP!?!? That's where the TJ in my name comes from.
lol, me too with the TJ, cool. #offtopic
@OP - If you go read that thread I linked, I am almost 100% that if you change the "state" of any of those to "WAKE_DROPPED" it will unlock the phone. Any sense ROM would have menu set to do that already, as well as any CM rom. As for removing the lockscreen and setup. The setup is an apk IIRC so yes you could, but the lockscreen is tied to the world clock AFAIK, so you wouldn't want to delete that. I found an app that disables it but only for sense 2.1. Here's that link:

i know on hero sense roms some of them u can press menu to unlock by default are there any like that on the evo also i found an amazing program for pc the other day its called "android injector" what it does is u can force install apks onto your phone simply by dragging and droping onto your sd card from a computer so no need to mess with adb or having to dig through a file manager on your phone.
