Completed ROM upgrades, now ?s

Okay. I completed the following steps on my new Cingular 8125
1. Used Loki .2b to do CID and unlock - Don;t have another SIM to test but seemed to work
2. INstalled Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST
3. Installed the 2.25 radio from kypher (sp) update.
Everything seems to work great and response times seem stellar so far but I do have a few questions...
A. When I go into Remove programs I see the following programs
FdcSoft PPC ContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
Summ Summ
What are these, what are they for and can they be deleted since I don't seem to find matching entries in programs for them?
B. Under Programs there are three called Clock200 240 and 252. I am guessing these are overclockers but clicking on them does not seem to do anything. How do these work?
C. Should I delete the cab file I x-fered over for the Loki unlock?
D. While some of the sound files that came on the ROM are cool, I would like to get rid of most of them. How do I do this?
General questions
Is there a profiles setting where for example I can choose a sleep profile so that the phone rings but e-mails don't do anything or is this a 3rd party app deal?
Has anyone ever had issues with having two different IP addresses for your exchange server? It seems that when I put in the IP address into Active Sync that I use to get Outlook Web my phone connects fine when out and around but when using USB errors out. If I put in the exchange server name my IT guy gave me I get the opposite. He is kind of helpless and clueless so any help here owuld be greatly appreciated.

I can help a little, The wireless today plugin is the one that appears on the today screen showing wifi on off and bluetooth on and off. The clocks are overclockers and they dont show anything happening but it does overclock your phone. Sorry I can answer the rest but hopefully what I have said helps some.

Hey every bit helps, thanks!

FdcSoft PPC ContactMgr is a replacement on the contacts of the phone - less buggy than the stock one, and no - don't remove it.
Summ Summ - is the alternative task manager that you see in programs. If you wish, delete that one. Personally I like it, because when you close it, it actually closes.

They are overclockers, and yes they do work, but generally there's an omap that you run in conjunction with other programs. There's an omap.exe file that you can re-do on shortcuts that will have a manual clock setting on simply just the program itself, but I'd find the thread that discusses omap overclocking.

Not sure you can delete some of them, because they're taking up ROM space, but not other memory. Check windows\ringers and see if they're in there and deletable.

Can't really say I can help with this one, but from my experience with the phone, there's nothing in it that has different profiles other than just ring, vibrate, and sleep. Try looking for some third party aps.

THanks a bunch Brian....
I have noticed a few things.. I seem to be getting the error where the time zone drifts. In my case it tries to put me in Indiana. Was there an easy/common fix for this.
Also, it seems to not hold a wifi signal very well anymore. Is this the problem you were experiencing. I installed Wififofum2 but did not get much time to play with it, but in the time I did could not get it to pick up a network at all.

I'm having wifi issues as well with a belkin pre-n, and my srx router doesn't hold its session and ip info.
The fix has been that summiter release a test2 rom, which I'm about to flash my unit with. There is also discussion of trying to get a seperate thread on radio roms which i believe deals with wifi as well, and you don't have to re-flash your entire os just to get a new radio rom.
Also, here are the images you may be interested in:

no problem man. as I type this message from the fresh test2 rom that summiter updated the gsm radio with, I'm finding that it is staying connected to my srx, and on the middle performance setting. what I am also noticing is my reception here in my room, dear god, I use to get to bars being lucky, but now man, jesus, full bars, its amazing. I do notice the reception does jump up and down a lot more but that's fine with me. overall the radio version in test2 seems to rock my sox. we'll see if it holds out for this really long post.
well scratch that on the wifi problem, had to reconnect to my router again... ugh, but better reception for cellular!

I will have to disagree with that. The PPCContactMgr caused scrolling problems with my contacts, and I wasn't the only one this happened to. For example, if you hold down the D-Pad in while in contacts, it scrolls the the alphabet in very large letters allowing you to stop easily at a certain letter. This program screwed that up for me. It worked OK if I just scrolled through a few letters, like to "D", but if I scrolled all the way to "T" for example, then selected a name, it would throw me back at a random name much earlier in the list.
Removing this program fixed the problem.
The only thing this program really gives you is the ability to "select all contacts", if you wanted to delete them. It's not worth the problems. I'd remove it.

Just got my Tilt - What would you do first

I just got my Tilt. First I am going to hard reset and remove the AT&T bloatware. Then I am going to Install the HTC Home page. Next I am going to reasign the PTT button. Next, I am enable the 'H' icon and GPS photo. What else should I do/install? Any ideas are appreciated.

what about settings?
If you do this, will you lose all your AT&T settings (e.g., wap, etc)?

I have read that you do not lose the setting for wap, proxy, etc. I saw that you just lose the add programs. Has anyone done it? Did you have to add setting manually?

Yeah I did it. After the hard reset and the reset when it said it was going to apply the AT&T changes, I had to do this to get it to make calls, connect to the internet, and send text messages:
Nothing
All the settings are already there for connecting to wap.cingular etc right out of the gate, and none of that extra trial software garbage.

So let me see if I will be doing this right.
Hard reset the phone
when the phone says '..customizations will begin in 3 seconds...'
I press the reset button.
After it resets I should let it apply the AT&T changes.
Is that correct?

this is what i did. after i reset w/o the att bloatware.

Skip all that nonsense and just unlock and change over to the HTC ROM. IF I can do it ANYONE can do it. You'll be SOOO happy you did. The HTC ROM listed on the website I've found is faster (especially with camera function), less (read: none) bloatware, and prettier. Keyboard and PTT button fixes are included.
Then install agile, opera, TomTom... done.

what website? i installed hardspl and tried running the kaisercustomruu but no luck gets com error. any help on flashing this phone to htc would be appreciated.

Just load the HTC Rom, it is good. About the network it will automatically update to AT&T. THe only applications you might lost is Cingular application like XM radio, Cingular vidoe.... You can always install via CABS you find @VP3G.
That is what I did. HTC runs pretty smooth... It is faster than the 8525 original. So far so good with 2 days on usage..BBC, GPS, Wifi, pursh mail, SMS..etc. no problem.

If you load the HTC Rom, will you lose your warranty with AT&T?

What's the difference between the "H" and "3G"? And if they are different how do you enable the "H" icon.

Yeah you will. And IMHO everything you'll get from the HTC ROM you can load onto the stock AT&T one using cabs. There's so much memory on this sucker I'm not even really worried about bloatware right now.
Yeah I'm looking forward to a good cooked ROM, but I think I'll wait awhile (probably near the end of my warranty period) before I do that. Especially since experimenting with this stuff right now is almost like beta testing ... The first HARD-SPL for this has just been released and personally I'd much rather wait until it is tried and tested before I do anything risky. AND since this sucker is so new, my guess would be that it'd be highly unlikely that you could revert back to factory settings to get warranty service if you do flash another ROM at this particular point in time ...

-Uninstall everything that came with it.
-Redo the Program icons
-KaiserTweak and adjust settings (no SMS confirm)
-TomTom (grab from a torrent site)
-AGPS registry change
-Skype
-Browsers
--MS Deepfish
--Picsel
--Opera Mini (create direct shortcut with Resco)
-TCPMP and FlashVideoBundle for Youtube access
-Chartcross GPS Test for GPS warmup
-HTC Kaiser Dialer + 3G-Batt Icons (vp3g's 3.5/3.6 addons)
-PocketNester + ROMs (haven't gotten 100% but I'm new)
But then again I've only had it 3 days and 2 nights

3G icon indicates UMTS coverage. H indicicates HSDPA (and i assume HSUPA) when launched.

wow, HSUPA would be sweet, too bad unless you live in like chicago or newyork good luck getting it

Wow you have been productive! Can you please expand on this process with detail. Do you have youtube working in IE or Opera? I have not yet got youtube videos working on my AT&T branded device. I dug around quite a bit for flash for Opera 8.65 but never found something to actually download. Thanks.

Go to the sticky in the main part of this thread, the one titled "Essential cabs for kaiser" or something like that.
Download the HTC Streaming media player. You can get m.youtube.com to work through IE without any issue. The HTC media player associates the rtsp:// to itself and it will stream videos.

Yes but that's the mobile youtube site. I'm talking about the full youtube. IMHO the mobile site sucks because I can't see my favorites from the computer. You need TCPMP, .72 is preferred. And Skunkworks FlashVideoBundle is a plugin for FLV files. Basically you install TCPMP, then the plugin. Then under TCPMP settings you associate it with "Flash Video". I would also change the buffering settings to like 800kb, and 8% when underrun.
Completely optional, you can tell it to play automatically full screen, and exit TCPMP when done. So you just click a Youtube link, and it plays, and you're back at the site. Sweet, huh?
CABs attached.
EDIT: PIE is the only browser I can get this to work with, none of the other browsers I've tried will launch with the correct app.

Thanks so much for the details. I installed both cabs and it works but only on a small % of videos. The error message I get on many when trying to play is, "Video not available (may have been removed)." This is really getting frustrating.

I've noticed that, but only on videos that require birthdate confirmation. Stop trying to watch porn
There may be a solution in one of the threads for this. Not sure.

Skyfire Beta 2

So... I signed up for the Beta2 of Skyfire at least 4 or 5 months ago and five minutes ago I got a link with my copy of it. I registered my account and installed the cab to discover an awesome full-fledged browser. Has anyone else received the text message for their copy? When starting up Skyfire it says version 0.61.0.4721. Is this Beta 2? Is the version other people have?
-Xidium

thats the one, pretty slick huh

Mine always says that it cannot find the internet. Any inkling as to what it may be going on? I have it downloaded twice so far.

I got mine a couple of days ago, and I really like it.

Hmmm........

Curious, did you follow the instructions from the original thread below or from one of the many duplicate threads that made the .cab itself available?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414383&highlight=skyfire
I ask because the .cab by itself was never intended to work alone as it needs to be registered via phone # and personal info, which acts as your login to use the program. There may be hacks out there(?), but I am not inclined to do legwork to find them, if they do exist that is.

I finally got my text last night.
Downloaded it immediately and love it.
Then, late last night and early this morning, network issues.
Now, it works like a champ again.
maybe there was a problem with the proprietary skyfire servers or something.

I went through all the steps described in your url, used the original cnet100 code and when that did not work I used a bGenius code from another site, I had the cab downloaded both ties, activated, program installed, and then nothing. It cannot find the internet. I have IE, Opera 8.5 and Oopera mini all working very well, no problem with my net connections.

I had the same issue a while back. In my case I disabled the ATT Proxy for the MEdia Net connection and then all worked fine.

many thanks!

Just downloaded it and have putzing around with it.
things i like: renders pages much like my desktops. Loads pages fairly quickly. Relatively small memory footprint
Things I'm iffy on: chunky scrolling (as opposed to NetFront or Iris), text entry into a separate text box seems redundant to me...and probably some other stuff.
This is running on a stock ATT rom, minus the bloatware. It seems fairly stable.
When on my wifi connection, its quite nice.

Yea I was about to ask about the "chunky scrolling". I've noticed that too. Opera 9.5 isn't like that at all. I was wondering if it was the software or if the new kaiser d3d beta drivers or the omnia drivers helped this at all... I haven't had any of the connection issues that others have had and I do like the small 1.5mb or so space it takes to install compared to ~8mb for Opera.

why am i not getting text messages from skyfire.
i have a valid beta code.

I just downloaded mine, but I haven't had time to play with it yet.

Hmmm I havent gotten any links to download it...... It tells me I have to wait until the beta is released for beta testing? hmmmmm I wonder what I did wrong

I got my text for Beta 2 also. It's definitely much better than Opera and IE, but still no where near the iPhone's Safari browser. I switch between my iPhone and Tilt every couple days and when it comes to browsing Safari is pretty damn good. Skyfire is definitely a step in the right direction.

I've been using this for a week now and have noticed a few things.
1. random freezing. While either loading or on a page, my version will just hang and the Tilt will not respond to anything but a reboot...which, in my case, sucks due to that infernal GoodLink lock app.
2 since this is server based, sometimes I get REALLLY sluggish performance. When rendering a simple text based page (say...like craigslist) the screen redraws are horribly slow and scrolling thru a page brings up the checkerboard pattern until it gets the screen redraw info.
3 my settings for some reason or other...do not stick. For example, I will have smart fit enabled in my default view settings. When I load a page the text does not flow correctly, and I have to enable smart fit again.
4 Load up times: horribly inconsistant. Somedays its quick and zippy and blows other browsers out of the water. Other times...it just wont launch.
Having said that: I realize that this is a beta and is bound to be far from perfect. But while the concept is great, the execution leaves a bit to be desired, especially the network connectivity issues for me.
I also have NetFront (LOVE IT) and the Iris browsers as well as the stock OEM Internet Explorer. I want to like Skyfire, but its just too damn iffy right now, whereas my NetFront and Iris are pretty decent.
This is on a stock Win6 OEM ROM (minus the bloatware)

Is there a Net Front CAB that we can download?

nice find, i am going to try this out immediately

I only have XM, not a Sirius account. When I went into the settings and setup my XM account and tried to load channels it told me I needed to setup my account information still. So I went in and checked the Guest account for Sirius and my XM info was still in there, then when I tried to load channels it just sat there and didn't do anything.
I'm using WiFi for my internet.

I can't get any channels to load on my ATT Fuze. Has anyone gotten them to load, and if so can they post the XML channel file from their device so i can try just loading that?

most of the time the cause is an incorrect username or password. check the forum in the link and they have a number of discussions on how to fix the problems your having.

It's working great for me! The only let down is the ad in the background the whole time

i am using a fuze with romeos, and when i connect through WLAN at home i am able to hear sound and get album art. When i am on just cell network, the channels load, and the album art loads and changes as the songs apparently change, but i do not get any sound. I have confirmed that my phone isn't on mute or anything. does anyone have any ideas?
i am asking this question at geekstoolbox too, but am posting here b/c this site deals with my exact phone.
thanks!

Kudos man, this app rocks. I just picked up my Touch Pro (Telus) today, and combined with this app, amazing.
Thanks much.

Don't they have a free account?
So how much is the subscription?
edit: I successfully log into the account and wow is a great program... they even have lyrics on radio
It's funny, I'm listening to two playmate talking about economy on playboy channel. Just wish that they have a TV on this channel.

awseome find. Thank you

I have no ads on mine, but one let down for me is that all the channels arent there.

Chiming in here...have the same problem. Works over WLAN but not 3G. Did you have any luck fixing it?

no i haven't fixed it yet, and i can't seem to get any attention from anyone either, i live with Sirius radio so i am very interested in getting this fixed

LOVE this application...using it on the fuze on 3G...no problems...

I wasn't able to get the Sirius channels to update. I was able to work around it by installing the windows version on my pc and copying the sirius.xml file over to my phone. I am able to listen to everything fine over 3g now.

how to tell BT to not use windows media

Hi folks,
just picked up a fuze and have one question, hopefully someone have the answer.
I use mortplayer to listen to podcasts and with my A2DP ready BT headset (jabra BT8010) I was able to control pause/play with my previous PDA However, w/ the fuze, when mortplayer is playing a file, and I click on the pause/play button on my jabra, it opens up windows media.
I would like for it to not open windows media player, but instead just control mortplayer (or whatever media application I'm using).
one side note though, it plays/pauses TCPMP perfectly fine, but just not mortplayer.
thanks.
