Hey everybody,
I'm extremely new to the community and have recently found myself the proud parent of a baby Wing. There is so much helpful information on this site, but it is so hard to sort it all out. Right now I am running SPB Shell and am digging on it, yet I crave more. I like the layout of SPB Shell, but would love to be able to take better advantage of touch options (scrolling, contacts, internet, etc). What could be done to get these options? I've read about Open Touch, and there seem to be mixed reviews. Is it possible to still have SPB Shell and a program that offers better use of the touch screen?
Also, what are some applications that you Wing users are fond of? I am using VTouch, Google Maps, and an SNES emulator. Are there other things I should know about? Radio, a pizza maker maybe?
Thanks so much.

I have an AT&t 8525, running WM6, that died so I ordered a AT&T Tilt. Will the same software i ran on the 8525 also run on the Tilt, like HTC Home, Mobile Shell, Pocket Informant......
Thanks
Andy
No , nothing like that runs on the tilt...
You may have to check your version number of PI, if it ran with WM 6 on the 8525 it will run on the Tilt I have both , and it runs with no issues.
HTC home will work on both models, but always check to see if a new version exists.
I hope that this is helpful to you unlike the post above me.
This site does have a good search engine , also I like using the new post feature better, i find a lot more useful info that way.
BTW welcome to the forums.

The site does have a good search engine if you know how to use it.
thanks F2504x4, I appreciate the help.
First of all i am new but i am very keen on mobile devices.
The cooking software is nice to play with your titan but have one of you realy been able to get a real clone of the diamond environment?
I would like to have my tytn II act like a diamond touch.
lets start with the display.
is it possible. please no assumptions. pleazeee.
i gues it is not but maybe some of you figured it out..
Because you're new and before others will flame you; I strongly believe that you should click on search. It was discussed more than 100 times.

Hi:
Welcome to the board
I'd say one of the best looking, and easiest ways to get a Diamond style interface is to use SPB Mobile Shell, and the Diamond skin, which you can find in post #1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402021&goto=newpost
There is also a good thread which you can check out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400518&goto=newpost
I hope this helps, and I hope you enjoy your new phone!
I've tried 3 different cooked ROMs so far: Dutty's Hybrid, Dutty's Diamond, and L26_V9.
All of them have their quirks, and all have their strengths. I haven't found one that I'm like "OMG, this is the one!"
One of the main things is the SMS application. Whichever they use, it is similar to what I'm looking for.
Has anyone used the Palm 750's SMS application? It's PERFECT. Does anyone know if that is available for the Tilt?
I'm sorry for such a n00b question.
Also, is it just me, or is the screen refresh annoyingly slow when you slide out the keyboard (going from portrait to landscape)?
TIA,
DaleyKD
Welcome to XDA, now let the fun begin...
A) This post does not belong in ROM Development.
B) The closest thing you will get to the Treo's SMS is a program called PalmSMS.
C) Keep trying different ROMs, you will find a lot of choices here, and they all have their +'s and -'s.
Good luck.
My apologies! I was thinking that because the proggy was in the ROM...
I'm running off of 4 hrs sleep and a Monster... I'm NOT thinking clearly.
I notice your handle is NotATreoFan, so I find the fact that you know the answer humorous.
MODs: If you could move this thread, that'd be great.
Thanks for your help!
Don't worry about the misplaced thread. You're new, and the Mod's will fix it for you. Just don't make it a habit (that upsets them).
The reason I know the answer is because I once flashed a ROM with PalmSMS instead of Arcsoft, and I couldn't stand it... reminded me of the Palm OS, which coincidentally is why I don't like the Treo. I've never used a WM-based one, so I can't judge them.
Ah, didn't realize ArcSoft is the current SMS. It seems really slow with a delay on my typing.
I agree on the PalmOS crap. But I LOVE my Treo 750. I still have it and use it side-by-side with my Tilt. If I could get the power of the Tilt and put it in the Treo, I'd be the happiest camper ever.
search for the palm sms app. you'll need to use google. for legal reasons that cab is not around any more. unless you look reeeally hard . But keep searching. as far as roms go....try em all. thats what we all do here for a living. as of late....hyper dragon and garmin been my favorite. tough call between the two...i just flash according to who comes out that day. romes roms are solid as well. i find very little bugs in any of them. happy flashing good sir.
I like Vito SMS chat
Not what you are looking for, but it might grow on you.
hi all
this is going to sound stupid to many of you, but please, give me the time.
i have had the kaiser for a while now and been a member of modaco. but today was the first time i flashed my T2 to 6.1 using H-SPL. (link from modaco, the one with the modaco splash screen). anywho after seeing who easy it was to flash [ thanks hard spl devs ] i wanted to see what other roms there are.
however after browsing this site i just get confused with lots of releses with similar names, like throttle launcer...
i just dont know which to choose.
anywho i was wondering whether some could point me in the direction of a good 6.1 ROM which resemble the HTC diamond interface as much as possible (preferablly actually 6.1, not 6 with a theme, as 6.1 feel's much faster to me) because the diamond interface is much slicker than my current. also i would like it to have as little Non-stock software as possible.
many thanks, sorry for the stupid questions, it's a new world to me.
sorry for any spelling mistakes, ie the one in the title, i cant change that now.
I think you will either get 5 different replies or mods will close your thread... so, why don't you try each and every ones that you think you will like, and keep the one you like the most...
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/
but it's real slow since kaiser don't have any graphic acceleration at all...
is throttle laucher based one 6.1? and what are your experience with?
oh hang is throttle launcher a CAB or a ROM that website you linked want me to download some cabs?
you say that TL is slow, and i am aware theat the T2 is slow as there are no drivers, i have installed the action class drivers will that help?
also mods plaese dont close/delete this, i'm completely serious, i just want some good advice.

Throttle Launcher is just an application, it's not an OS. However some cooks (such as L26) have integrated the program into their ROM. You should go out and try all the ROMs out there and decide which one best fits your needs.
ok, but can you reccomend some, one of my issues is that i cant find, them all, as they are spread all over forum over many pages,
which do you use?
I personally use my own ROM (RevROM v3.33), however the popular ones are Garmin, ROMeOS, and Dutty's (a bit outdated but still popular).

Slow? Not on my Kaiser with Laurentius last Beta3 V10 ROM + new HTCClassAction's drivers
Definitive Answer... sort of.....
Howdy™
Out of curiosity, what will you be using your T2 for? Multimedia, classic PDA use, IT tool, navigational aide, etc...?
The reason why I ask is because, depending on your answer, there would be several ROMs to consider that carry both the basic functionality, as well as advanced functionality(with the help of additional programs) for each type of use you may want.
So the definitive answer would be, try em all!! Take time to read what each ROM contains or does not contain, as in the case of ROMs marked "Lite" or "No Thrillls". Make sure to read through the threads as well for any potential problem that a particular ROM may be having with a program or any bugs that may be found.

Only thing I would say to that is that you need to do the legwork and hunt down exactly what you are looking for. The forum search is an excellent (as well as the preferred way) of finding those "must have" programs for your T2. Also, check out some of the senior members signatures for links to file sharing sites, as they often host mirrors for popular programs as they become available. This is how I got my T2 to be EXACTLY the way that I wanted it to be.
So there you have it, the definitive answer. I do appologize if this sounds alot like **BEFORE YOU POST START HERE** FAQ, Wiki, Stickies & Tutorials - Suggestions Welcome! , but that was posted for a reason and should be adhered to as everyone here is donating their time and energy, so lets not waste it .

Check this one out. ROMeOS 4.21
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411692
Very fast, and no bugs at all I've found yet
What is your favorite ROM for the T-Mobile Wing. I am looking for a ROM that is fast, and the MMS will still work.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
Radio Version
Also, the new Radio version would be nice
the best rom for any device is the one that you like the best.
In the herald forum, the main contenders are OpenTouch by ttran, Touch-it by itje, itspapablack by papamopps, Asergs roms by aserg, and just2clean/justme by ivan. There are other roms made by other people, but these are the main ones (kidnamedalbert and ginolin come to mind)
usually, the radio rom doesn't that make that big a difference, but the best one for me is something along the lines of 3.21.90 or something like that
People always ask "whats the best rom?"
Try a couple of them, and see what YOU like.
sounds like they just want to take the easy way out and not read all the post on each one. read and dive in if you dont like it you can always flash aging and become addicted like the rest of us
I can understand people not using the results from a search. All of the ROM forums are huge...look at TTran's newest thread OTP 6.5 167 pages or so...thats a lot of information to cipher even as an advance user!
I think there should be the release thread and a second thread with all fixes. would make questions from noobs a lot easier to answer. Hopefully some wouldn't have to ask questions!

I agree with you there man. The forum is so huge and sometime the search function does not help much. You know what, I think the moderators should "sticky" all the newest ROMs so people don't have to hunt around for it.

I actually think that the chefs should change the subject lines on their older roms to "OUTDATED" .. and that will be alot less trouble on THE moderator.

Of course that works too, but that doesn't help when the chefs became inactive, like Aserg or ITJE. Unless people monitor the forum frequently for awhile, it is quite difficult for the to find the most updated roms from those chefs. Maybe this is why sometime we still see people asking how to flash TouchIT 3 or something (REALLY) outdated like this on the forum.
as a newbe that took 6 weeks to figure out how to flash my frist rom and "still" not sure I got a current realease, I think you guys are on the right track. IMHO of course.

I just look at the posted date.
It would be nice if there were a reliable list of ROMs rather than just forum posts. I hate digging through hundreds of "me too", "that's great" posts to get to REAL information.
It's especially tough because I'm not the one using the ROM--I flash it for my wife and she has no clue what's out there or what she wants--she just tells me what she has problems with and what she doesn't like about what's on her phone now.
That being said, What is a suggested ROM for my wife? She uses EpocratesRX, text messaging, contacts management, and Google Maps.
She's using OpenTouch 5 or 6 right now and she has problems with the scroll bar disappearing in the text messaging app, whenever she reboots, she has to change the display orientation to landscape and back to get the start bar to appear, etc. She can't stand all those little quirks. She also wants to scroll through her contacts and be able to call one easily with few clicks--right now if she gets to a number she wants to be able to hit the green call button and dial, but it just brings up the dialer with her last called number, not the number of the contact she was looking at.
if remember correctly, OT 5 had some problems with messaging. I don't recall what exactly those problems were, but that might be one of them.
Try using icontact or pocketcm for her contacts. They're simple, intuitive, and nice looking.
As for a rom for your wife? Try them all. It sounds like she has some applications that not alot of other people use, so try a "clean" or "lite" rom with lots of memory for extra application. i personally suggest Open Touch 6 lite.
