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?

Why is the keyboard on my Tilt fuc*ed up when I put an HTC (OEM) 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?
HELL NO…just don’t download too much or you WILL get caught and be struck by the long arm of AT&T’s “excess data” charges http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336429&highlight=tether

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:

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 noticed that last night when I rebooted my Tilt. They announced it at the beginning of the year, saying they were gonna roll it out in June, then kept pushing the date back. I have been bugging the Cingular guys at the store in the MOA for months about this.

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.

Fine, if the touchflo settings arent there then I dont know what to say, other then I am done dealing with ATT ROM Problems, not because I can't answer them, but because of the majority of people that stick with the AT&T ROMs. I am not going through the somewhat lengthy process of reflashing an AT&T ROM onto my Tilt so I can go into the settings and find the entry to change for the clicking sound TouchFlo makes...if anyone has this knowledge (although I doubt they would because they probably also would not still be using the AT&T ROM) please feel free to contribute the fix.
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.
For those who are in the 1% that dont flash because they are afraid of bricking and/or voiding their AT&T warranty, sirsycho has a whole thread devoted to getting it back to the AT&T ROM so you wont lose your warranty (it's stickied).

How about pulling this thread into the wiki? I think this would be much handier...
Maybe it would be good to include this option ("wiki") in such a poll too (instead of that biased 2 answer-possibilities).
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 !

It looks like they've packed TT7 with the HTC Diamond and it's working on the Kaiser.

Hi,
I need a little help.
I've not had my Diamond for long and new to WinMo and I'm trying to put TT7 on it, but I need to get the DeviceID, but don't know where to locate it?
Any help much appreciated!
Thanks,

If you already installed TT then connect your phone to PC and locate navigator.bif file! openit with Notepad and there you find a lots of info, and your device ID
Also, device ID should popup when you launch the program with directions to activate the installed map. ( at leat with Tom Tom 6
If you had be using a purchased version of TT then you would not need to locate the DeviceID

Indeed you wont need a device ID when you have purchased and or use tomtom maps legally you can see your device ID.
You cant buy tt7 (yet) tt6 will work
No joy with TT7 anyway!
The Home2Go or whatever it is could not install / run after I copied it to the phone? I'm either doing something totally wrong or I got the wrong file.
It was the legal one you get from tomtom website, then you install that and then the maps... apparently!
Any other free apps? I tried google maps, but it uses a data connection and I just want to use the GPS so it doesn't be costing me anymore monies!
Just out of interest (legal copy or not) when I connect to the phone via ActiveSync, do I just generally copy apps there and run them, or is there a way to install them from my machine to the phone via ActiveSync? For TT7 I created a folder called 'Navigation' and put it in there (obviously from reading above, it didn't work!)
If only it a drag and drop hey...

sorry if i am wrong, but nobody here know that the device id is in:
settings/system/device information/identity ? are you speaking about IMEI? isn't this the device identity? i think there is also a key combination you "dial" and the phone will return you the IMEI..i don't remember which.

This is not true. If you'd previously been using TT on a different device then you will need to give the DeviceID to TomTom (direct or via www.ttcode.com) in order to reactivate your maps on the new device. I had to do this when moving from a C500 to an M600.
KukurikU said:

The DeviceID is a 'TomTom-ism' - a code that TomTom uses to uniquely identify your device. It must be obtained through some process involving fixed identities of the device and so whilst it could well be derived from IMEI it is not actually the IMEI itself.

Give the ID yes, but you dont have to locate it as the code splash screen appears with the code on - which you then provide to the site ttcode.com, if one is trying to find the code in the bif file then that method is being used as a hacked version of TT - repacked
Although you have the ability to activate TT on other devices every six months TTs agreement indicates you may only use the product once on one device.

AFAIK the only official way to get TT7 is by purchasing a Diamond with it pre-installed like the German XDA form O2 (maybe other countries too) then you can get the 7.2 version maps from the TT website.

How do you install TomTom 6 on a HTC Diamond? I got it working on an old HTC device without problems but on the Diamond it says 'no maps found'.
If this question has already been answered please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.
Your copy of TomTom 6 is a legit full copy including over a gig's worth of data, right? not just some cab you found floating around here?
Anyway you may need to install it on your device off your chip (the install is triggered by an autorun file) where you also have map and other data stored. I've had no problems with this over many roms on my last two phones however be advised that some roms, romeos for example, fire up the autorun if the chip's in on the first boot whereas on others, rre for example, it may not appear to do anything but possibly install in the background.
So what's the specific problem? Gets to the install but cannot find maps? Bottom line though you need the full copy from the TomTom people to have any shot yourself and you need that full copy to be legit (versus cracked) if you want anyone on xda to attempt to help you. Not suggesting it ain't but just advising you.
One thing potentially helpful that I will go ahead and throw your way now is suggesting you throw in the towel on tomtom for now and check out amazegps which I hear is free, turn by turn, voice -- basically tomtom except no huge install, rather it downloads data as you drive which is okay if you've got a car charger and are driving where there's cell coverage ideally in the country native to your carrier. I don't quite now yet why it's free, perhaps they've got some datamining or advertising dreams they sold on some venture capitalists and got lucky. Haven't tried it myself but if you do I'd appreciate it if you'd report back your findings on my website.
http://www.amazegps.com/index.php?page=register (oh yeah you have to register to get your secret code but not too much private info)
Good luck with all that...

Mine works fine but i have read somewhere someone else had a similar problem. They ran it without sense running. It frees up some ram. Hope this helps. Try searching for sense..

Happens to me too, so instead of closing the application from within the application, just press Home button, and then close the Copilot using taskiller.
That's what I do to avoid the freezing and crashing of touch flow.
Mine crashes as well. Something about Touchflo not responding and then restarts it.
I have found a sort of way round it though. When you exit Copilot do not touch the screen but press the power button to lock the screen and then when you press it again everything should work normally.
What is a more serious problem for me is the loss of GPS during long use of which the only way to get a lock back is to exit and restart Copilot
Is copilot available only for the US?
Another way to stop the phone freezing is as soon as you exit Copilot hit the phone button on screen to go into the dialer then just come out of it, everything works as normal after that, for some reason the phone button on the screen won't freeze the phone but every thing else does.
it depends if you are @home tab. if you launch copilot from other tab than the home tab, it freezes.
if you are @ home tab, and open the launcher (all programs) and start copilot from within, you will exit from it without freezing.

If you look at the ALK website they have plenty of global coverage with Australia coming soon apparently
Hi,
I had the freezing problem too on exit, but now copilot wont start anymore...
I tried to launch it from a link on touchflo homescreen, from "all programs", from classic startpage - to no avail. Shutdown didnt help either :<
Any pointers?
I cant even download it, Just says Authorizing credit card all the time

It does not ask for a number, It is in my market place as a paid for app, I try to install and it just says authorizing credit card, and no more, I will check out the links you provided.
Cheers.
co pilot freezing
Hi
I got copilot the day I got the Hero and it froze on exit as described.. Now I havent done anything ...but it now doesnt freeze at all.
I had tomtom on my diamond and really liked it but I have to admit co pilot looks very good.
I just need speed cameras for it (anyone know if the pocketgpsworld ones will work?)
how does the traffic work? TomTom traffic was a bit poo tbh
Oh yeah one further issue.. I have found the ALK tech support to be abysmal.. took them about a week to answer my query. (They sorted the issue but.. cmon.. a week)
Same issue for me.
It works for 48hours, and now its freezing on exit.

I found them pretty efficient to be honest. Here is their reply to the same two questions you want that I had asked them. All the instructions for installation are on the site it links to.
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
In regards to your query, I would like to inform you that you can download the latest safetycam file for your copilot via this link below:
http://safetycam.alk.com/
The traffic is not available yet on the Androids.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.
Regards,
CoPilot Technical Support

Found the answer to my problem.
The card provider in their wisdom (read stupidity) decided the card was being used by someone else and cancelled it, Now have to wait for new one to come through.
At least I know why the card would not authorise, even though all was well in Google checkout.
Cheers.

How can the swedish people (like me) get the CoPilot on our androids? And what is the price for it?
