Hello everyone. As you can probably tell I am new to this forum. I recently bought my first PPC (Tilt) and I am thoroughly happy with my device (thus far). Seeing how I am new to this genre of phones. I decided to surf the internet to see what kind of info was available for my new toy. To make a long story short, after I surfing the internet and visiting many different forums. I noticed the XDA or XDA developers being used frequently. So I decided to do a Google search which directed me here. I must admit I am thoroughly impressed by this forum (website) and plan to be a contributing member. I have learned so much about the capabilities of my phone. You guys are really amazing. Which leads me to my problem? I am having a difficult time understanding the verbiage being used to describe the various different upgrade features being discuss on this board. All That being said I have some question I would like to ask. But first I have decided to condense my questions on one thread as to make it easier for other interested parties as well as for me to find. However feel free to direct my question or to add a link that can answer my question at your convenience as I know many (if not all) these question have been answered in other threads (sorry remember I am unfamiliar with all these new words).
1)Is there some sort of getting started manual that I can used to better understand the various different words being used on this forum?
What does flash, cooking, roms, etc mean?
2) I would like to get rid of all the ATT stuff (for a lack of a better word) that on my phone and upload all the high speed HTC stuff.
I would like to do this in hopes of increasing performance as well as to have all the programs and features that where meant for the TYTN 2. If one could list the steps or refer me to the link that could do this it would be greatly appreciated.
3)How does a person find out about the various different applications or program that are available for my phone?
This would be of great interest to me. In particularly when it comes to music and radio stations. What is the best music/media player available? What is the best program to listen to various radio stations? And what site can I use to research this stuff?
4) Lastly I am really interested in all this voip stuff (Skyp, Google talk, etc). It would be pretty cool to use the internet to make phone calls instead of paying for daytime minutes. How would one go about doing this? Am I to understand that I can used my phone exactly the same way but through the internet?
I wanted to take the time to thank those who answered my question (and those that didn’t) as well as to developer of this board.
Thank you

i think if you spend some time looking through these forums you'll be able to extrapolate many of these answers.
i'm not trying to be a jerk but your questions are kind of extensive and mostly answered with a bit of digging.
sorry.

No manual - you learn from osmosis.
I am pretty new around here as well... but a long time lurker...
So - to help as much as possible - here is a quick answer to your questions:
Flashing is when you overwrite / rewrite the firmware. It is the method used to put different ROMs on your device.
Cooking is where you create a custom ROM image - so it comes customized with whatever the chef puts on it.
ROM - think of it as an operating system image that is transfered from your computer to your device.

This site is chalk full of information about these kinds of things: Kaiser is pretty new - so hit one of the other forums under XDA. Software sitting on top of the OS should be pretty standard... ;-)

Kinda. But not as well. Data connections are more prone to dropping than voice calls.
It is cheaper to call internationally though... ;-)
So if you have a good connection and you aren't moving... it is a great alternative.

yeah, a glossary of terms would be great. as I read more it makes more sense and I find myself searching some of the terms online. be nice to have somewhere with meanings of WWE, SPL etc mean.
Welcome to the board. I would recomend reading all the wiki's that are stuck in each section and also the search button will bring many many threads on all the questions you have asked. Try this one to get you started. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser Good luck
d
I'm in the same boat as you. I read through the posts here and found them really helpful, especially the stickied ones about flashing ROMs.
The best way to get rid of the AT&T stuff is to flash your ROM. Flashing your rom to the HTC-rom will wipe the AT&T bundled software and replace it with the set that comes with the TyTn II (although no TomTom).
I've been trying to find answers to some of your questions too (especially where to find good software and media players), so I'm looking forward to replies from the older members.

WWE: World Wide English
SPL: System Programming Language (my guess?)
Welcome to the forum, i am also new. As to your question of what is the best media player, it is TCMP, it plays almost everything (even .flv files!) but support has been discontinued because the ppl made it a commercial product...mind you very tech savy ppl are still continuing support for it and adding codecs and stuff.
to download it and some codects, go to this website:
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ht...cial-hybrid-media-player-all-codecs-here.html
Hope that helped
Thank you. I can understand that some question may too broad to answer in this thread. I understand that alot of my question are answered in other threads and for this I appologies.
The the reason I ask those question is becuase I do not understand the language being used. I have read (reread) the stinky under the kaiser upgrades tabs but still do not understand what exactly it is saying (or what it is supposed to do).
While I agree most of my other questions can be answered in other threads it would be of great help to me if someone could explain in greater detail to me my question number 2 which I have reprinted below.
I would like to get rid of all the ATT stuff (for a lack of a better word) that on my phone and upload all the high speed HTC stuff.
I would like to do this in hopes of increasing performance as well as to have all the programs and features that where meant for the TYTN 2. If one could list the steps or refer me to the link that could do this it would be greatly appreciated.

You guys are great, I can see a sprite of sharing and helping in this forum. Again, you guys are the best, especially thanks to Daniel.
I bought a Chinese unlocked version Kaiser in Hong Kong, and I found out that it is not that convenience to me even though I can read Chinese. With Chinese Windows, it runs very slow. I decided to flash the ROM with HTC standard English ROM.
However, because of warranty issue, I need to backup the Chinese OS ROM, and restore it to its original setting if in case I have to take it back to HTC for repairing.
I am totally new to PPC or WM devices (I used to be a Palm lover), I wonder if anyone of you can tell me how to "Backup" and "Restore" the ROM. Detail instructions will be highly appreciated.
Sorry for my stupid questions, but I really don't know how. Whether I get the instructions or not, YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
If you were previously using the HTC or AT&T rom then i highly suggest you upgrade to Dutty's rom.
1. its faster.
2. way better battery life.
3. tabbed task manager at the top
4. more free rom and ram.
5. better design.
6. more i cant think of, try it! its great!
does it still have the colored touch flo icons?

Hope Dutty comes soon with a clean.. lite rom.. not to much added 3d party software
Does this new Rom also includes the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 RTM?
look closer at the posts of his roms...they do have lite versions.

o but he does, his "lite" roms, i dont like them, i installed one on accident and there was basicly nothing on it. its extremely basic, i ment to install his touchFlo rom, so im downloading it now.
i dont think .NET 3.5 is already on, but its avaible right there on the topic.
I prefer Lite Roms because I can control better what to install, update and remove. I'm using his lite rom no. 6 and its awesome.
palm sms needed with mms control bad or palms sms that controls your entire sms through htc home etc

i thought that too, but this rom was soo "lite" that there was nothing unique about it. i mean it was really no different than installing a lite HTC rom.
How does one upgrade the ROM? Is it just a transfer like a cab and then installation in the device, or is it more complicated? Some instructions on how to do that would be very useful. Can you point out where to find them? If it all fails and one needs to go back, would a Sprite restore bring back the previous ROM? Are there any incompatibilities with pre-installed programs? The ftp site lists three different Hybrid TouchFlo programs. How do they differ? Which one is the best recommended?

Well actually there's virtually no apps installed, not even the HTC ones. That means that I can install the ones I want. When there's an update, I feel that I can "properly" remove the old ones and install the new ones. They also come with some tweaks already included, and .NET 3.5.
So it feels like a "base pumped" ROM which I can fully customize.
Please give us some instructions on how you install a new ROM.

yes i agree. its just that when i was saying his rom is unique, i think there's some pretty cool things on there, but im not sure what they are. like, i wouldnt know what to search for or what cab to install. so installing the lite rom i wouldnt even get those cool things.
however, if you want this rom not for the cool things he has, but for a blank rom, then the lite rom is the rom to get.

If you are a very experienced user you may want a Lite ROM.
However, I found the fully loaded ROM has many advantages.
1. You may have some very useful softwares that you may not even aware they exist. So you will never look for those to put into the Lite ROM in the first place.
2. You will learn to use more applications and figure out good and bad ones first hand.
3. In the Lite version, you'll always find that the software that you need for the moment hasn't gotten installed even you have it in your download library. You'll miss the time and being agonized. As time goes time, you've accumulated all the right softwares in your custom machine, it is time to replace the machine with a new one. The current one just have never reach it full potential.
Kaiser has plenty memory space, a few extra softwares are not to kill it not like TOUCH which really just got a pretty face and no guts.
I recommend fully loaded ROM for casual users. Extra softwares do not increase weight of the machine provided the extra softwares do not cause stability issue. Stability usually caused by bad software. One lousy one can do it.
For example, I won't mind if I can get a 32G SD card and people loaded all the games and MP3 and Video for me.

Yeah, that's exactly why I haven't tried to reflash my tilt - The "directions" in that post are so unclear and incomplete...
Someone who can write needs to create a step by step guide - no unexplained acronyms, a complete list of everything that is needed, and maybe a little explanation about why you have to do some of the steps.
I would happily write a post with this info, except that the directions for flashing are so bad that I can't understand how to do it.
Answer some basic questions, like, "can you flash an OS with no Radio - can you flash a radio with no OS?"
When you refer to downloading a ROM - Does that mean to the PC or to the device? OK, I've entered bootloader mode - now what? What's the next step? When I DL the ROM to the device, where should it be stored? What makes up a ROM? Is it one file or a bunch of files?
These are just some of the basic details that should be in a set of directions for flashing.
The HardSPL directions that are built into the install are pretty good - they step the user through every little detail. We need that for "flashing", because based on the information on this forum, it's not inherently obvious how to do it.

Jeff

First of all, please stop being so demanding when you are in the situation of asking for help. Nobody here has obligation to teach you what you need to do to YOUR phone. They don't get paid to do that. I would suggest you to head to tytn/Hermes' wiki page to learn more before you try on your phone http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Tilt or tytn II are still fairly new device on the market. Since tytn and tytn II are similar in many ways, you can use hermes/tytn's wiki for reference. Many of us, myself included, learn the process of flashing, upgrading, downgrading, and modifying through countless experiments or through other members here. I'd say - flash your phone with hardSPL first, then you are safe to do the rest if you can follow the directions. Once again, I am not trying to discourage you to ask for help, but please do respect others and their works. They have contributed a lot of time to make this forum the best and make our phones even better.

I do not want to go offtopic, but you are waaaay out of line.
Ive been using online forums for 12 years now and have gotten to where I am because of nice,hardworking and helpful individuals.
Its Karma, in the end if you (people) help trick420 and I learn to flash our roms, they will benefit one day when they visit photography forums or want to travel to Northern Italy because I have posted very thorough articles and guides to Digital SLR Cameras and Lenses and travelling to places ive been.
His suggestions will in fact make this site better because it will allow others like him and me to learn and then eventually contribute to the forum. I personally am not a professional at WinMobile and have done my homework (read the wiki, googled terms,acronyms,procedures and so on) but have not really grasped the idea of flashing roms.
trick420 was not being demanding, you need to cool down.

Point taken, but my post was a comment, not a request for help, and was not demanding, just an observation. I'm just stating what, in my opinion, is wrong with the instructions posted so far. They lack so much information that a noob simply cannot figure out what to do at times.
A noob is just that - a noobie... How can you expect them to know that a Tytn is similar enough to a Tytn II that the same things apply? How would they know that?
The thread that Dutty refers everyone to that is a "noob" is now 11 pages long. The worst part of it is, the instructions on the first few posts don't even apply to Dutty's ROMs now because he's building them as an executable file (Great idea by the way), which makes me think he's simplified it to the point that you don't need to read the "flashing" ROM.
My point is this - if I'm a noob and I want to learn how to flash, I have to dig through 11 pages of a stickied post that is a year old just to figure out one step of the process. It takes way too much work to figure it all out, and then you'd better make sure that you don't forget something along the way.
Flashing a ROM should be a process to be learned by a noob, not a journey of discovery like it is now.
The wiki or sticky for flashing should be redone for clarity. For me, the flashing process is like a combination of a heavily fragmented hard drive and trying to find a windows registry key without the use of a search function.
Again, I'm not complaining just for the sake of complaining. If someone wants to send me a detailed process for flashing via PM or email for the Kaiser, I'll write it into a document that the average semi-technical noob can use. But until I figure all of this out I can't help. I'm a hardware and software engineer by trade, and I know as well as anyone that the one thing a programmer hates to do is to have to document a project or write a spec. I'm offering to do that if you programmers will support my questions and help me craft a good, readable document for the masses.

Jeff

Does anyone know of a good SNES emulator for the TyTn II? I have already searched the forums and have found that most of the posts about this subject are quite dated. I am currently using PocketSnes by Bleeding edge, but the sound on this emulator is of poor quailty. Also, for some reason, this seems to run remarkably better on my Mogul? I have downloaded different versions of this software, apparently 'upgrades' and they do have more game compatibility, but they sacrifice alot of FPS (about 5, but when your only getting 30 FPS, 5 is alot.). SnesJ4U also seemed like a good alternative, and the sound on it is beautiful, the problem is, iirc, that it doesnt allow for a boxed-landscape display. Does anyone know of a good, up-to-date emulator that can hit over 35 FPS on a TyTN II, not overclocked and running the previous HTC ROM (the one before WM 6.1) and run in boxed-landscape mode?

The reason threads regarding this topic are dated is because people read them and don't find a need to post a new thread. CLICK HERE
No offence, but that search link was the exact thing I searched for and it didnt help much. And your post, by the way, does not seem to make sense.
People say not to make new threads if there is already an existing thread about a subject. By your logic, if a subject has no thread made about it, then it is not important. Should people just never make new threads? This has only now become a problem because the older emulators do not seem to run well on current HTC phones for some reason, in fact, alot of my programs seem slower. I was wondering if there are any newer alternatives yet and since I have found no information about that from the search function, I figured it was worth posting about. But, anyways, thanks for your help.

Damn... you get 25 FPS?? I'm using MorphGear... and although i don't have a fps counter, i think i'm having less than 14.
Anyhow... at least with morphgear.. although the sound is great (16bit, 44100khz, stereo, interpolated, echoed etc) the speed sucks. even if i disable sound completly... the speed sucks. tried with SM All Stars, and Chrono Trigger.

If you post in a existing thread it brings it to the front of the line...
Actually, im getting around ~30 FPS average, ~20 FPS in some of the slower parts of games and shooting to ~40 in faster parts (with minimal action). Most of these tests have been done with Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana, They were run when I completely disabled sound though. I also recommend against using n0p's Snes ports. I dont mean any offence to him, but his roms seem to be a trade-off in performance for compatibility. Im running my emus on an AT&T Tilt with a 5200 chipset, I have a 5201 it runs the games about ~1-2 FPS faster on average, nothing amazing. I thought that by now there would be a better (updated) version of PocketSnes that could emulate sound like on Snes9xJ4U. I still have to try running them with another ROM, but im not flashing my device till next week (long story).
I got my current emulator here http://paqpark.nuclearfallout.net/projects/pocketsnes.php
snesx9j4u would be awesome if you could get to play in landscape but is not as compatible as morphgear and as far as speed you to use shogunmarks rom of death no offense to anyone else that cooks but for me that rom is definitely faster that the others. once again i totally respect and appreciate all the people
here at xda developers with out them my tilt would be useless
cook pocketsnes into a ROM
Thanks for the tip, neva dinova, I will try out that rom first thing next week and see how everything runs.

this is not that he is saying, and if you're assuming this is so, i dont think you understand the etiquette of this or any other forum. What he is saying is if someone posted a topic that says "how to i accomplish A" its bad for you, or anyone else to come in after the fact and make another post with the subject of "how do i accomplish A" version 2. all this is doing is polluting the boards, and creating a lot of excess material that comes up when people actually do lengthy and thorough searches.
If that still doesn't make sense, when person 3 finally comes around as is going to search for the same topic, they're going to find not 1, but 2 topics. now imagine if, on some subjects this were multiplied by 2,3,4,5 or even 10 as far as the search results. it kinda makes searching more time consuming an redundant. Even if you're having some problems w/ a newer version of roms, or newer version of NES emulators, STILL post it in the FIRST topic...all related material should always be in the same post...always
Again, I searched and found nothing. How can you guys not understand that? Its people like you that ruin forums. I am asking a valid question that has not been brought up before and allinstead of actually helping or adding to the conversation you just make useless posts about the search function which I USED IN THE FIRST PLACE. But, if you can prove to me that I used the search function incorrectly by providing me a link to a thread where a topic about this subject has already been created I will admit that im wrong and your right.
i'm not saying you didn't search buddy...but judging by the way you reacted to an above poster, and judging by what you posted in your above post. you didn't understand the guidelines as far as posting. regardless, if you had any questions, you would have been better off first making your reply in the exiting thread, then started a new topic if no replies were made. thats all i'm saying
Okay, I know what your saying, and for the last time, I SEARCHED before posting. Not only that, but I found somone asking the same (or at least a similar) question that I just asked in a thread with a different topic, however, no one has responded to him so far and its been a good half year. I think I had the right to create a new thread on this topic.
I dont understand what problem some people have where whenever somone makes a new thread, they almost s*** themsleves if its not relavant to them.
So explain to me how I did not follow the 'posting guidlines'?

See the problem with what you're saying is...... YOU! Amazing huh? Why not reconsider the fact that not all of us are as "Tech Savy" as you... and not nearly as ignorant. Also, let's consider that he came to a DEVELOPER FORUM for help. You know the place where people trade ideas and software. So, let's all take a quick life lesson from this... If you don't have anything useful to provide, leave it alone. Just because we're 12 and Mommy and Daddy bought us a nice little PC and a cool phone and are too negligent to pay attention to the Bovine Fecal Matter that the little "Monkey" has managed to spread on the internet, doesn't mean the rest of the world wishes to hear your ignorance.
Now, Numb Nuts over here was right about one thing... Google. Search google for "SNES" "NES". The best I've found is PocketNester but it doesn't support Landscape mode which is a little disappointing. (Mario Bros looks awful in Portrait haha)
Second do a search for some of you're favorite games and save all of this in a folder on you're comp.
Using the Date Cable out of the box you can do one of two things.
First plug in the cable and either select Active Sync or Disk Drive.
Disk Drive is a little more convenient but only works with a MicroSD inserted.
Disk Drive - Drag and drop your folder of games on to the phone.
Active Sync - Once its connected, select Tools - Explore Pocket PC on your comp and Drag and Drop directly in to the phone.
Unplug and Navigate to the File Explorer. (Start-Programs-Tools- File Explorer) Select the Nester Cab and install it to the device. Open the Nester Program and the rest should be self explanatory from there.
Good Luck.
Does anyone have any suggestion for a way to control emulators? The keyboard gets the job done, but it's far from great, any suggestions for an external controller? Someone in another thread mentioned using a PS3 controller over bluetooth as a possibility, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been done yet.
Operational emulators

Ok, the operational/usable emulators I have working:
PocketNESter Plus - this version was made specifically for the Dash and other landscape screens. Works perfectly on every HTC I've owned 'cept the G1 (for obvious reasons). I'm using it on an excalibur, a tilt, and a raphael as we speak.
PocketSNES: this one takes too much horsepower for the Excalibur, but the others run it fine..one problem here is that I've been unable to get sound working as of yet..tho this is really a minor problem for most games.
I'll be trying more soon
controller issues

Sorry my friend, I've tried every form of control I can think of and only the keyboard is truly usable. It takes some getting used to, but you'll get it.
oh i see what about picodrive?
Look the creator of this post does have some good reasons to aliens a better emulator. I was able to run pocketnester however I was not able to get pocketSNES to run on my Raphael. I tried for about 5 hours to find a vga compatible snes. I found many links to vga emulators, N0p and Tila builds, however those links were down. The pocketsnes emulator developers website is down. I found one build called SNES9x for PPC Ver .41. This ran Chrono Trigger pretty well with sound. However this program has no onscreen game pad and does not register my hardware buttons. However there is a fix that makes your wm6 run or emulate an older hardware keyboard setting. So the real question would be does anyone have a working vga snes? If you got the original PocketSNES to work that would be passable. I was hoping to get the OpenGL version. I googled and googled.
yea i tried downloading pocketnester but for some reason it would not find my roms or load them up its kinda confusing

oy mate! did u even read my post? use the search option there are at least ten threads about this that explain what works and what doesn't and the reason why. hell just seach with my username ive post in a few of them with some of the stuff ive used attached. im not doing this to flame you im just tired of reading the same posts over and over again from ppl too lazy read the rest of threads on this subject.
lol. mistaken post.
I want to make my own website, but I am not good at programming. I don't even know what tools to use for this. How difficult is it?
Not too difficult actaully just search on youtube and you will find out how to do it!
What kind of website are you trying to make?
HTML and CSS are very easy. You can learn and remember all the basics in 1 month.
It's enough to build a personal static website. If you want to make a simple website with just some text, some links and some pictures, you can make it entirely with notepad.
If you want some interaction from your users (like comments), you need to learn about dynamic language and databases (PHP/SQL or the likes....). Which is a little bit more complex.
But if you don't want to lose some time with coding (although it's always good to have at least a few basics), you can simply use a cms like wordpress or joomla.
Instead of coding, you will use an interface, much easier. It will give you a template that you may modify as you wish. That's enough to build and update a professional website and that's what most people use nowadays.

Very easy, try out werc from werc.cat-v.org, great web anti-framework, I use it
Depends upon what you want in/on the site. html/css is static, the pretty - if you want functionality you can download and hack a script to suit (pick your language) or learn a language - javascript, php, etc., The difficulty is deciding who, what, when, where, and why... there are 500 tools today that claim to wipe your ass for you, that claim to make it all easy and convenient - it's hogwash. Use notepad, use a text editor.
Tell you what - start right-clicking pages, look at the source. You'll need hosting or install a local web server.
There are a kazillion things to know and it's not at all easy, it's friggen tedious. The actual development isn't so hard and html/css aren't tough to figure out. css can get pretty wild. You can get a script to do whatever you want if you don't want to learn a language, but, as I wrote, you will have to hack it, so...the server will need to support that scripting language.
With platforms like WIX, it is not very difficult to create a website in these days.

Yeah
WordPress exists xD
It will depend on what type of website you are trying to create. I did not have any website specific development experience, All the development experience I had was on C#. As part of my work, I needed to update a Jekyll site. This required an understanding of Markdown at the very basic to update the content. Since I had previous programming skills, understanding Markdown was easy. Then, as I got into the intricacies of the website, I realized I needed to know HTML and CSS. Took an online tutorial and got through the basics. Later for different screens needed to understand jQuery, Finally once I felt confident I made changes using Bootstrap which gave the site a better look.
The important point is understanding what your site demands and then acquire the requisite skills. Take it one step and a time. The net is your best friend. You will find tons of information and guides on web programming.
If you have a lot of money, and want to try easiest way, try Tilda or Wix services.
If you dont want to lose money, try Wordpress
There is a lot of guides on YT about all of it
If you're a Luddite (like me), just open up a text editor and start typing HTML (& CSS).
When you like how it looks on your browser locally you can FTP it to your server.
(Note: Interoperability between different makes of browsers is never guaranteed.)
With sites.google.com it's very easy
Your domain name, also known as your website address, is often the entry point to your site. It is important that it makes a good impression for usability purposes, as well as for search engine optimization
For now it's not as difficult as it used to be, besides there are already many tutorials on youtube, but there are many tools that can do that just by drag and drop.
i believe everyone can create a website because there is a lot of tutorials in YouTube that you can adopt.
pretty easy for html/css
takes a bit more time to learn js
if you wanna build a blog use jekyll
