All,
I am new to this forum and I am a noob to smartphone.
I have been reading this forum for the past a few hours. I found some answers but still have a few basic questions
I may using a Touch Diamond (Sprint CDMA) version.
1. Do I have to flash the phone to be able to use cool themes, customzie touch-flo and display?
2. Will I still have all the functions (text messeging, data plan connection, etc)? I know this sounds stupid but I couldn't send/receive messege with my iphone after unlocking.
4. What is manilla? A software to customzie the phone?
Thanks,
welcome dude,
I am new to this forum as well. One advise, back up or sync with your ooutlook or whatever you are using and then EXPERIENCE EVRYTHING URSELF BY READING AND APPLYING, AND IN THE WORST CASE IF THINGS GO WRONG JUST HARD RESET YOPU PHONE.
Thats how I learnt to tweak and modify my diamond with trials and errors.
YOU CAN DO IT , IT JUST TAKES TIME

Please be aware that most of the threads here are for GSM devices. Read carefully before flashing anything as one small error and say bye bye to your phone. The first thing is to flash your phone with a Hard SPL (protects device from being bricked). Please Look Here ....
Band27 is right
PPCGEEKS is better for you for CDMA ROMs and HardSPL.

If you just want themes and customisation, then not really, but to get all the benefit from pimping your device it is recommend to install HardSPL and flash a custom ROM[/quote]

Manilla is just a User interface (UI) like PointUI and SPB mobile shell (to name a few) and can be turned of to reveal the standard WM interface.
Hope this helps
wow, thanks so much guys
I will do much research and decide if I want to flash my phone or not

If you do enough reading, I have no doubt you will flash your phone. The ability to change Rom's and Radio's to improve both performance, battery life, customization above and beyond your typical theme park frills......
Most members here are addicted flashers. No...not that kind!! Wow, some of us just go right to the gutter with phrases like that one...lol

Just upgraded my phone from Treo 750 to the New AT&T Tilt. It is a new company phone fresh out of the box with a 4gb memory card.
I turn to you for guidance on how to get the most out of this phone.
What are the must haves?
What Rom and Radio?
etc
Thanks in advance.
you need to hardspl your phone first, and then you can start flashing. there's a few different rom available, and everyone has their own preferences. my advise, read read read, and then read some more.
Well, i must say you came to the right place. But you're asking the wrong question my friend. All i can say to you is READ. You will learn there is soo much info on this site that it will take you at least a month to narrow down your own decisions on what you want/need. Everyone on here has a different preferance for what they want/need. I'm not going to flame you, because you don't deserve it . . . . YET Just do what we all do and have been doing ever since we came in contact with our 8125/8525/8925 . . . . READ. Start with the Wiki, and then start reading up around the forums as for what is avalible for you to @#$% around with. Have fun, and trust me , YOU WILL!!!
Welcome!
Read... and read some more. It's really a matter of taste. I'd start simple with things that won't break your phone, but once you find out how to flash that won't last long. If you don't want to flash I recommend pulling your battery before the device customization on first boot. If you've already passed the point you can hard-reset by pushing both soft keys and resetting with the stylus. Pull your battery when your device says "Device will customize in 3 seconds..." and all of the ATT bloatware will be gone!
Just a few things to remember.
HardSPL First!
GPS Always runs on COM4 Baud 4800
Make sure your radio works with the ROM you have chosen
Have fun!

Phone is awesome. Yeah it does have a big drawback in the 3D rendering department, but, hopefully, we will solve this in future somehow. Besides, there's no perfect phone.
I just wanted to recommend u to try out iGo MyWay Plus 2006 for GPS software. I think it's the best, and I've tried many.
Definitely install KaiserTweak.. and if you're into games, I'd recommend games by company called MoreGames, they have some awesome stuff.
Oh and get a CorePlayer QTV for video.

HTC Enlarge Start Menu
IE Slow scroll fix
Mini opera and Opera mobile
TCPMP (with plugins such as Flv and WMV plugin)
HTC Dialer
Duttythroy 1 calc
I personally prefer to keep the natural look of my MDA Vario III but do like some of the apps originally found on the cooked ROM's

Sorry to thread jack, but I thought it's supposed to be COM4 Baud 9600.
What is the "Kaiser Tweak"?
I'll be in your position soon. Getting Tilt within next two weeks. I've already been reading trying to catch up and focus on wants/needs. I love the I phone look alikes, but so many to choose from...need the best close to Iphone theme. lol!
I use TouchPal for my one handed keyboard. Love it, but it took some getting used to.
I still often pop out the keyboard since I moved my instant messaging entirely to my phone and sometimes will have long conversations. I also flip open the keyboard when taking notes and whatnot.

i would not consider this a thread jack since the guy is new with his tilt as i was 2 weeks ago and i too strugled to find out the proper baud rate for GPS.

I did a hard reset on my phone last night and pulled the battery at the right time.
I have installed the following so far.
iGO
Kaiser Tweaks
Total Commander
I need something to customize the Today screen. How do I get the big clock on there?

Hey guys, I have been reading for a couple of hours on this forum and found some great info, but I'm still having some questions
1. dutty's rom, I've seen it on youtube, but is it actually faster than the normal rom? I mean, if you use tomtom by example, do you get better framerate on it?
2. if you put dutty's on, do you still get support from htc? like don't you void the warranty?
3. I've seen some original rom files, but if you put that on, doesn't it change the windows mobile license?
4. if you have dutty's, can you still copy contact info from msn into the contacts?
I have quite some experience with linux and windows programming, but to this mobile stuff, I'm totally a newbie
thanks

Your best bet is to go to kaiser rom development sections and read the stickies there.
1. yes, its faster
2. u loose warranty, but there is a tutorial how to revert it to the original rom in case of warranty
3. ?
4. never used that, buut I think yes
at 3 I mean: When you get an original rom from the forums, does it give you a different windows license? or is that just something inside the phone itself?
and, if dutty's is faster, does that also mean a longer battery life? I read something about better video drivers
thanks for the answers
I probably go for the dutty's now I think

battery life, reception, camera and some other things are influenced not by the rom, but by the radio rom.
Sorry but I dont understand what u mean by license. I am not from english-speaking country.
I don't think licensing is that big a deal with a phone. Infact I'm not sure if you can purchase a retail copy of windows mobile. These aren't home made computers.

edit:
I just found out there are more roms available (silly me)
can someone recommend me one?
I want better speed, but I like the normal rom shipped with the kaiser
Anyone know if Trinity can have TFLO working on it?
I imagine it would need a ROM upgrade. Anyone done this? Is it recommended?
I use my device a lot now in the car for satnav, so I'm looking for a way to make it as "finger" useable as possible.
Any other recommendations to make my Trinity finger friendly, I'd be most grateful. I already have spb mobile shell, which helps, but the scrolling feature doesn't work (which as far as I have read is a common problem with HTC phones).
Thanks,
Mattster.
Touchflo certainly does work on the Trinity.
I have flashed my Dopod D810 with Akeo's black 6.1 ROM and it has Touchflo.
I works well from what I could tell. I don't use it, preferring to use the stylus for a lot of things.
The ROM is very very good and well worth trying.

Hi Andych,
Thanks for the advice.
I tried that ROM (first time I've ever changed the ROM!) but it was way too complicated looking for my tastes. Gave me a chance to see what I was missing though, so thanks!
I'm boringly happy with my spb software. Simple but very practical, and that's what I need.
I did have to find a new ROM though, so I settled on "MARY v3.7 Super Lite" which has actually sorted an issue I had with the Today screen flashing up mid program.
BUT!!!!! I lost my Tomtom subscription to Speed Cameras AND my John Cleese Voice!!!
Is it true then that everytime you cahnge a ROM the device number changes, and therefore you lose e.g. Tomtom software that is reistered to the old device???
Hmm.... me thinks I should look that up in the forum later as all Tomtom said I could do was set up a new Tomtom account with the new device number and buy the software again! Damn!!!
Mattster.

SPB Mobile Shell does not have finger-scrolling, only animatin to swap screens. You need SPB Pocket Plus 4 for that.
Touch Flo and all variations are available in a lot of roms here in the Trinity forum. You should have read/searched a bit before asking this question, because there are already a lot of topics on this.
Good luck with the rom!

As for the advice to "read/search a bit before asking this question, because there are already a lot of topics on this".... that made me laugh out loud as I spent all weekend researching the problem in xda and in spbclub forums. There are pages and pages and pages out there with people going crazy, Touchflo devices being the main problem. Thanks for trying to help though.

Try the Trinity Mobile 6 forum here on XDA instead of the Trinity Upgrading forum, because that's where the action happens. You'll find a lot of custom roms with TouchFlo and variations.

I've asked this a few times but to no avail. It's not anyone's problem but mine but I don't know how to fix it.
I've only done two mods to the phone.
The disabling of the auto-attach.
And the Boost TFL3D Performance mod#1 on the mod list.
My problem is simple.
The phone lags....
For example, when you click the people icon and then click your contact list, the damn phone takes forever to pull up on the screen.
The reason I sold my Touch Cruise is because this phone had a faster processor.
Please, can anyone tell me how to increase the speed of this slow azz phone?
If I can't do anything about it, I'm buying an iphone or something else.
Thanks much,
Mark
Certainly the best way to speed up the phone is to flash a custom ROM to it. There are many out there that are MUCH faster than the stock ROMs. I highly recommend Dutty's V1.2 rom, but there are certainly others.

I have owned most HTC phones and after tweaking this is my fave and fastest so far...
Firstly what what ROM version are you using?
First post. Glad to meet u all.
I had official Vodafone spanish ROM until yesterday. My last phone was a QTEK s100, so no Wireless, no GPS, no Gsensor, no light sensor, no WM6.1, but it was fine, speed was OK. Diamond had poor speed compared to S100.
I flashed with the new official ROM from HTC and it seems a new phone. Try it.

Cool, I highly recommend flashing to Duttys ROM 1.2 at the Mo 1.3 should be with us in the next few days - I understand your frustration m8. I have been using these toys for years and they always need tweaking (but thats become half the fun)
What I will say is that you will se significant increases in speed from 1.37 which in honesty I thought was ****e and bug ridden so no surprises at your dissapointment. We are still a little way away from the perfect ROM but every time gets closer - rest assured. I think you will be pleasantly surprised after flashing to Duttys.
If you need anything else just shout shout.
NB. enable all the power management functions in schapps config and your battery will also last a hell of alot longer.

Can't help you but hope you're sure other phones will be faster. I thought with the 500 MHz processor in my Mio A701 it would be very fast compared to other WM phones at the time just to realise they were all slow.

I changed to WM 6.5 last night. I had the AT&T 6.1 rom before.
With both ROMs, my camera is just black. Doesn't show anything at all (not even darkly.
Any ideas? It's probably not software if it doesn't change when I update the ROM right?
I don't care for 6.5 much, so I'm going to try another 6.1 rom in a minute...
Thanks
Your radio ROM is incorrect for whatever hardware/ROM revision you are using. Experiment around with different radios until you get one that allows your camera to work.
Nice of you to search for the oldest problem out there.

Thanks for the advice. I'll just assume in the future that if I search and find nothing, that I must have used the wrong terms, and shouldn't bother asking in the future. Glad you saved me.
I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.
Well, oddly enough, I encountered a much more serious problem with the ROM I was using, so I went back to 6.1 (I don't like 6.5 for some reason)
After loading the AT&T 6.1 rom, the camera works...
Thats because the ATT ROM has an included radio, which evidentally is one that works with your hardware revision and enables the camera.

Ok- So Radio rom can be flashed with or without the OS rom? Good to know.
The radio rom has to match the hardware? Or the OS?
I'd like to give the WM6.5 rom another try, if I can get everything to work

Alot of the stuff I'm reading I'm remembering some of... it's been along time... lots of "oh yeah...!" moments... I want to be making my own roms in no time.. I guess I'm a few years late to the party... sad that they are killing Windows Mobile...

A couple years late to the Kaiser party, but I still love my Kaiser and it my not be as flashy and my be a tick slower and may not have the spacious screen that the HD2 has, but with a custom rom and a little tweaking, it does everything An HD2 does, and I love my keyboard.
Windows Mobile isn't dead, it was just taking a long vacation while Steve and Bill and the others were playing the " fat cat " billionaire roles to the hilt while the company went down the toilet.
Hopefully Windows Phone 7 series is the start of a resurgence that will integrate Windows, Windows Mobile, Zune OS and XBox into a fully integrated powerhouse, before it is too late.
Maybe Apple overtaking them is exactly what they need.

Thanks. Its been awhile since I played with a Windows Mobile phone, so I'm a little rusty. I forgot that some software stayed even when the OS was changed... geee... so simple
Thanks for the advice. I'll just assume in the future that if I search and find nothing, that I must have used the wrong terms, and shouldn't bother asking in the future. Glad you saved me.
I did search. Now, when I searched "radio rom camera problem" (after the 1st response) I got tons of hits. When I searched "8925 camera is black only" I got nothing relevant. It's new to me.

It was also on the rom flashing tutorial
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.

Being no stranger to flashing roms on any of the dozen WM devices I've had over the years, I didn't bother to read a tutorial.
The only reason I ran in here and asked, was I recieved the phone in the mail that day. I needed to know if I needed to send it back.
Now, I need to go get back to fixing my 8525 for the misses....
