Hey y'all, I'd just thought I'd introduce myself to the Kaiser world seeing as I'm going to be spending a lot of time here. I'm a freshman at Notre Dame, and needed (..wanted) a smart phone to help me organize this mass of everything happening around me. Being the technology geek I am, I looked quite a bit into it and decided that the "Tilt" was far superior to my dad's heralded and suggested iPhone (plus I kinda loathe Apple. So eh. lol) Anyway, I received my Tilt as a gift last night, and realized that it came bloated with AT&T's crap and didn't look like the same home screen I saw on HTC's website. After spending more than a couple of hours here, I was successful in blindly following different instructions I found in at least 3 different threads to flash the Dutty's HTC ROM to my Kaiser, and I absolutely love it. Problem is though, I have no idea what hell is going on here. I don't know what a .RUU even is, and even though a .CAB was easy to figure out, I have no idea where to put them on phone. And before I get lambasted with the mantra of "use the searchbar" venerated by web forum's loyal users, I'd like to point out that if you take a step back, look at all of this info on here, and pretend you don't understand any of it, it's pretty damn hard to decipher this stuff. So if you guys know of any "Pocket PC New Users" guide written by knowledgable ppl on the web, and any XDA-Beginner guides or anything, please point them in my direction. I'm more than happy to read. However, reading 33 forum pages to figure out how to do 8 lines of instructions for one thing is extremely time consuming, cumbersome, and not that helpful. So again, it's nice to meet you all, and maybe y'all could help point me out in the right direction.
---Holy crap, that's a lot of text. Basically, hey y'all, nice to meet you, and do you think you could help out a newb who's able and willing to learn?
use the search bar!!!! hahahaha jk.....just read the wiki
As well as what's already been suggested, take time to read the manual and play around with the ppc. The importance of experiential learning can't be understated when it comes to these things. Unlike with full sized PCs, performing a hard reset to restore the ppc to an out of the box state is easy work.
So quick question. When I'm copying .CAB files or .EXE files onto my kaiser, where do I put them? I'm installing the iPhone app posted by Grumps, and I don't know where I should put it. Should I just make a file tree for every program I put on there under Program Files?
Hi, a .CAB file is just an executable installer. So best place it in the root of your storage card and delete it after installation of the app. During installation you will be asked where to install the app, PPC memory or storage card. Selecting the storage card will of course save memory, but for some reasons some apps don't work from storage card. You will have to try...

I normally keep all my .cab files on my storage card so when I hard reset or re-flash I know where they are. Doesn't matter where you put them - I created a directory called (unoriginally) My Cabs. When you touch on them they will install to the necessary directory on the ppc, and can be uninstalled from the settings menu.
The .exe files could be a bit different. Some need to be installed from your pc - they will then install to the ppc next time you connect with activesync, and can be uninstalled in the same way as .cab files. Other .exe files can be stored anywhere on your ppc or storage card and will run each time you select them.
Heya. Let me be an opportunist and troll your thread to introduce myself here, too. hey all, homies n gyals, I'm Creiz, yes, it's my real name, pleased to meet y'all.
As for your quick question, If you use windows XP with dotNet framework 2, you can use this niifty utility called CabViaAciveSync to directly install your .cab files from the PC.
Right click the .cab => CabViaActiveSync.
Magic.
;P i´m noob too if you dont mine i'll use this thread to intruduce me too hehe and make a question. if i put a new rom my guarantee expires? and is good to change the default rom? what do you "kaiserians" think is the best rom for kaiser and how it works, if i make hard-reset the default rom appears? sorry but im really a noob in pocket things...
well i'm ricardo o/

Hi:
I am really a newbie too, only had the Tilt for 2 weeks now. But, I have read hundreds of threads here already, so I'm learning. My suggestion to you is, be sure to install Kaiser Tweaks, it is a great app, which will make it very easy to perform certain registry edits on your phone. The most important of which being, it enables you, with one click to enable hsdpa (faster than 3G internet). For some insane reason AT&T has this disabled on the Tilt. Although, maybe with your new ROM on there you may not need it. I am still using the AT&T ROM, so I'm not sure which features are or aren't on Dutty's ROM.
Anyway, just keep reading, it's amazing how much there is to learn here
My suggestions for best apps for the Tilt are:
Kaiser Tweaks (one click reg edits for many useful items)
SPB Pocket Plus (today screen interface, which looks cool, and is so useful for quick access to programs, files etc.)
All SPB products are pretty cool, and there are several to choose from depending on your needs
S2U2 (slide to unlock program, very useful, although the Tilt seems locked when in suspend mode, it really isn't)
PS: You're right alot of people do just tell you to go search, but believe it or not, there are MANY people here, who are willing to help a newbie, and understand that sometimes searches don't give us the answers we need. I have received tons of help from very nice people here.
I downloaded the .exe file for Music ID by Shazaam/Cingular and it has a 3 say trial window. Does anyone know where you have to go to delete the registry files that prevent it from going through the 3 day trial window. Even if there is another way to do it, that will be good too. Thanks
paying for it?
this site is not the site to ask for hacks for trailware so dont
A little digging in various places on the phone and an amateur can figure it out.
No need to ask here.
all i can say is if you go to google.com and type in unlimited musicid. hit search. you will find what you are looking for. Ironically that "hack" was posted on this site and there is a thread for it. good luck

Hello all, i thought I'd set up a simple free file host for you all to use as a thankyou for all the help all of you have given me and all the great ROMs and software that have been developed.
Just thought it was my turn to give something back
HTTP://UPLOAD.PUSH-IT.CO.UK
No waiting on uploads or downloads, and no download or upload limits!!!!!!!
Very cool. Thanks!
Any one want to make this a sticky?
adding a voice to sticky petition
It's very nice of you to provide such service, I know this kind of service is very bandwidth intense and cost a lot... so thank you.
Mods please sticky it up its good no waiting there.
Edit:
Sorry Mods I take my words back . It is only good after the bold and underline that is "no waiting" but the biggest problem is downloading. Even a small file in KBs cannot be downloaded because of errors. So I recommend not using it, stick to http://asapload.com.
Can you please explain the problem? and I will try and rectify it?
Thanks
If it is the file "Utilitiesico.lnk" then that is probably because it is not a valid file extension, as I'm pretty sure .ink is a shorcut file. Therefore it would be pointless to download it without the location the shortcut is directing you to it.
Thanks, Let me know
What is the d/l and u/l speed limits. I know it is based on what my connection will allow, but what is the sites maximum?
TBH I have no idea. Sorry I cant be of anymore help

Yeh u were right it was the same lnk file. If I enclose it in a folder and make a compressed file then it can be downloaded. Guess I have to again take my words back, What the heck!!! What am I...... a 'blue monkey' munching on my words arghhh .
Sorry hirst89.
Hey u please explain the downloading and uploading limits to P1Tater as he is 'THE MOD' and if he likes ur speed (errrrrrr I have to take back my words) the speed of server then u will get all the XDians' at ur site. So get in touch with the people who own that server and ask from them the speed limits and let P1Tater know.
Im doing some investigation into the speeds now, so I'll get back to you.
hi guys, ive just moved house and i cant find the software discs for my xda!!! does anybody know where i can obtain a set of them?
thanks for your help
tried o2 and ebay and searched the web, any help would be great?
What software discs are you actually looking for? Can't say as i have ever needed anything off the discs that came with my Alpine or Himalaya.
what do you need off the disks? if its activsync just download it from microsoft
OK, FWIW i have found the two CDs that came with my Alpine and will upload them somewhere when i can get ISOs created
cheers guys
thanks for the replys guys, im sorry i took so long to reply but ive been away with the family for a few days...all i was after on the discs was the original software files that came packaged, my discs have grown legs in the move!
just wanting to keep things organised, active sync has been downloaded too!
has anybody tried the bluetooth gps from holox on ebay? 54 channel job?
thanks again for your help and time guys xxx
Having trouble uploading one of the ISOs at the moment, it is at home and i am not and the upload last night died half way through. It is 260Mb and contains Outlook and Active Sync, the other is a lot smaller and contains whatever apps O2 put on it, cant remember and dont have the CD to hand to check. Download it from Adrive

That i can't hep with, sorry, never been a big MMS user. I think the T-Mobile site will send you the settings.
otherwise doing a search in networking forum for "tmobile AND mms" would likely give a result
cheers guys i gave t-mob a call last night and the 5 year old on the other end of the line was no help at all, not a shock but still a fair price for no service eh? right time to dive deep into the forums,
your help has been great, the wife now wants me to get her an xda !!!
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.
Thanks,

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.

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.

Nice way to avoid answering his question.
Thank you, you have helped me a lot!!
I've wasting my time looking for a solution for this, as just making an association ended up in infinite loop! (this Microsoft sh*t!), but your program solved it!!!
Thank you from Spain!

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.
