Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find

However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.

I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck

being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.

Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted a reply in here. I am trying, still having trouble finding the items but every search brings a new .cab installation to my phone!
Thanks Guys!

HELP!

How safe are they?
will they brick my phone?
I'm looking for the nice looking dialer screen the one that covers the screen with nice numbers and cyan and black background.
Well as you see this is the first time im using a smartphone.
I think i will have to read a whole noobie guide explaining everything and not just the basics.
Thank you very much.
I'm loving the Tilt a lot.

cabs
cabs are installer files similar setup files on a pc (very overly simplified). most cabs can be successfully by going to settings-system-remove programs so you can try it out and remove it if you don't like it.
if you have the right installer/cab files for your particular device (ppc, smartphones don't have touch screens) you will not brick your device.
you will not brick your device if you first HardSPL (see sticky) and use the files Dutty has collected and has available.
READ THE WIKI FIRST - most general questions can be answered by reading it.

A partial answer to your questions:
Regarding cab files. In general anything you find here will be relatively safe. BUT things do occassionally go wrong and indeed some cabs can change settings and change the behaviour of other applications in a way you do not like. For this reason you should (I would say MUST) use a good full backup application. I use SPB Backup but you might prefer Sprite. If you do a full backup before installing Cabs then you can always restore the backup if things go wrong. (It's also good practice anyway in case of fatal crashes or corruption)
The Kaiser is a PPC not a Smartphone (It's better he said controversially). There are differences, and indeed when googling for cabs and programmes you should go for the PPC (ARM) versions not the Smartphone versions.
Regarding dialer skins - use the search button or go to the "Search XDA-Dev using Google" sticky post for other search possibilities.
Don't forget to read the Wiki - linked on the brown bar near the top of the screen.
Also don't forget that most apps and reg changes that apply to WM6 will apply well to the Kaiser. So if you search and find a WM6 cab or such on a forum for another device - it will likely be ok to install ok on your Kaiser. (But don't forget my backup suggestion above!)
Cheers
Mike
PS Welcome on-board, enjoy
EDIT: I see Apposite beat me to some of the above!!

Thanks very much.
Well a thing is I don;t know how to do backups.
I also tried downloading the colored kyeboard cab, but it didn't worked.
Anyways thanks again.
I'll be posting often

i always backup with spb backup,
it's quite good and i'm very satisfied.

I just started reading the Wiki
Fast question
What does flash do?
and from your last replay, Spb? backup

yes of course spb backup

No no I meant what is the SPB backup?
What it does/stand for, and how do i get it?

Messenger/AOL/Yahoo MSN
Every time I try to connect to any of this, It loads for a long times but never connects me.
Am I loosing something?

Hello,
Go to the Spb Software House website site. Just google it and then you will find Spb Backup. I am new to the pocket pc world myself but try not to get in a hurry and install all the cool stuff (cabs) on this website. Make sure you understand what these programs are before installing. I made that mistake and after HOURS of reading and installing... I had to do a hard reset.
For backups I use Sprite, but will probably one day use Spb Backup as I use three of there products and all are GREAT! While on their website check out Spb Pocket Plus... It's AWESOME, IMHO

Many thanks for the help.

Another battery thread...
I know i know... a millions of threads asking issues and stuff about the battery.
Believe me, I have been looking deep into this site for battery threads but non have helped me.
I just want to know what is the best solution for my battery to last more than a day?
This phone drains it way to fast.
Is there any battery that can last a lot longer for this phone so I can order?
Thanks...

It made a huge difference for me when I installed the 10 button comm manager and turn off 3G during the day. I only turn it on when I'm using the web browser or downloading something. Battery now lasts 2x as long.

what the 10 Button manager does?
I already shut the 3g and wi-fi.

What is this cab called?

Hey I have another question...
I already downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350700
But I'm afraid something happens to my Tilt, and I don't know how to run flashes and stuff.
I downloaded a backup SPB but dont know how to use it.
The main reason I downloaded that big rom is because I just read somewhere around this forums that it's the best bettery saver rom ever.
Help...

Im learning abit more, just downloaded the 10 com mannager and disabled the same as you did.
Hope this helps.

You need to CID unlock to put that rom on your tilt.

New to the tilt and forum

A few questions and do not laugh.
Is the kaiser and the tilt the same thing?
Can I put the touchflo software in my tilt? If YES, there are about 459 threads about the touchflo. Which is the one I should go to with the software and installing info?
I have issues with the response speed of the touch screen. Can it be resolved? Sometime I have to tap multiple times to have a response
About the kaisertweak. Is that ok for the tilt ? Should I install it?
Thanks for all your help and remember... patience is a virtue.

The Tilt comes with Touch-flo installed from AT&T. I didn't have to do anything to my Tilt and all that had to happen was one person showed me touch-flo on their Tilt. I tried it and it worked immediately. I didn't change any settings or install anything extra. Give it a try. Open your contacts list and quickly slide your finger from the bottom to the top of the screen with a light touch. Once you get the hang of it you can have it spinning like the big wheel on the price is right... except here you just tap the screen to stop it where you want it.

Jay is correct
In my opinion, after installing Kaiser Tweaks, scrolling worked MUCH better. There are 2 settings in Kaiser Tweaks which affect scrolling, sensitivity and finger pressure.

Yes, there are setings to "tweak" it, but I found that the default was the lightest touch. I tried the "advised" settings in Kaiser Tweak and I couldn't get that thing to spin to save my life. Every time I tried I had to push the screen so hard that often times one of my contacts opened instead. I ended up putting it back on the default settings.

It's funny, I have the exact opposite experience. Right now I have 2 Tilt's in front of me. I had to order a replacement, and still have both.
The new one (untweaked) is almost impossible to scroll. The tweaked one is very easy to scroll.
I have Kaiser Tweaks set to normal on sensitivity, and very high on finger pressure.
But, you know what they say, to each his own

Tweak problems on my TILT
HSDPA on my TILT is displayed at all times. I installed the lates Kaiser Teak a few months ago. My TILT use to display 3g when no data is in use but now H shows as my primary display regardless of data being used or not.
Is there and updated Kaiser Tweak out. If there is can some post the new link. Thanks

Okay, two problems and she'll be perfect...

I made a post about this before but never received an answer. I looked for a post in search but found similiar problems but no answers.
How do we stop the lag from clicking on icon to icon in the TF3D menu?
I'll click on an icon and get a huge lag before the screen catches up to whatever icon I clicked on. I did the #1 (and another, can't remember what the number was) mod on the list but it makes TF3D faster but still have the same problem.
It's terrible waiting for the screen to completely open once you click on a icon.
The other problem I have is when I use activesync (mobile device center) to view some pictures I took, when I copy and paste them on to my laptop desktop, they have the wrong date and time stamp on them.
My laptop and cell phone show the correct date and time but when you view the copy and pasted files, the date is a day ahead with a completely different time.
What the hell did I miss to do that? LOL
Thanks guys, fix these two items and this will be the best HTC product I've owned.
Thanks,
Mark

I found that disabling the TF3D phonepad speeds things up allot...
( I forgot where to do that, but do a search and you will find it )
And I have taken away the music tab and the internet tab with 'Diamond TF3D Config'...

How to make IE default browser.

So after 40 minutes of wasting time (searching how to do it) I got nothing.
Anyone know how i can make Internet Explorer the default browser? I tried and couldnt find it.. An answer is all i am looking for.

This was originally named something else, but I renamed it so I could find it again. It's buried in a thread somewhere.
Anyway, this restores the registry settings for IE and has fixed IE getting hosed a few times. By Opera, or seemingly randomly. I've had to run this at least 3 times in the last 3 months.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.. you made my day :]

Thanks
Thanks works perfectly on my T-Mobile wing

This worked on my Fuze too. It is a big help.

There are cab extractors I'm sure that could be used on it, but otherwise I wouldn't have a clue, I just saved it from another thread. I couldn't find the thread, so I just attached the cab I'd saved.

Unzip it was WinRAR and have a look at the _setup.xml.
Or try a product like WinCE CAB Manager, or any other good cab creation software
Or just google, creating CAB files, there's lots of suggestions

Hi Just a question.
Can you uninstall the app once it has set IE back to the default? Will this leave IE as the default?

Sorry if this is a newb question. It's working with email links, but how do I change the HTC touchflo settings to make IE the browser that is invoked from the touchflo menu at the bottom of the screen? I can't seen any touchflo settings besides the thing about sounds when finger scrolling, etc.

This worked on my HTC Touch Pro and my HTC Touch Pro II ...Opera just isn't ready to be the default browser. Too much overhead, its just too slow (even on the Touch Pro II) and I just cant count on it for viewing web pages consistantly like I can with IE. One day I will be able to watch a YouTube video on my Windows Mobile phone ...still waiting for that day. The Droid certainly is a fast bugger and can you tube but between the keyboard and the excessive power usage ...and quite honestly lack of application support ...I am sticking with Windows for now. This little fix made my life much better. Thanks again.
