I'm new here, sorry if this questions bother you but I need some help. My Att TILT is working perfectly, I installed Home HTC today screen and I love it but I'm thinking to go further with the changes and I want to know If this will work in my device with out damaging.
Installing CAB files on my TILT like Home HTC sprint plugin, enlarge START menu and calculator SKIN, can you let me know if this will affect the device performance and if I decided to delete these anytime, could I do it.

The answer to you question is Yes! You can install them and remove them later if you decide to; however, I'm not sure about the calculator skin. Skin uninstallation sometime may not work.
Thanks very much for all your help.
Ok. I just put the Kaiser 6.1 ROM the newest one I don't remember the number. Onto my ATT Tilt. This was my first ROM flash and I'm glad everything went smooth but I am wondering why I still have a few ATT things hanging around. For example I don't have HTC Album and instead have Pictures and Videos, also the calculator has the old skin. There are a few more things which I expected to be different. Anyway, if anyone can tell me why this is and if or how I can fix it i would appreciate it. I really wanted embedded HTC album.
so go get the htc album cab file and install the htc album then
yea like extreme said just get teh cab and install it..and u can search around for the calculator skins...theres a few lying around
but when I flash the rom does that software not come with it? Does this happen for everyone, cause i dont like having pictures and videos default.
Depends wheter it was included in the programs list. If not, you'd have to install it manually.
hmm... can anyone recommend a windows 6.1 ROM that has embedded HTC Album or tell me how I can check.
i'm pretty sure i've never used the rom which you dont even remember what version it is, but if its not there then its not there. either install htc album on your own, or flash a rom that has it cooked in
ok what I'm really asking here is does HTC album HAVE to be cooked in or does it come in Official Kaiser ROMs. Sorry for all the confusion. BTW the version I have is 3.03.405.0 and I thought it was supposed to be the official 6.1 release for the kaiser. Also sorry for my ignorance.
go look through the posts in the rom development..usually most of the time the cooks will have the programs included in the first or second post of the thread...u just gotta read thru it
Yeah do a search bro. I just flashed L26 Rom on my phone. Pretty good so far.

did you do a hard reset after flash???
also for htc album did you try "looking" at the stickies in the general forum??
it is in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344544
and here is download link for cab:
http://rapidshare.com/files/69139626/HTC.Album.1.0.822.716..cab
I know how to download HTC album. I am aware that cab files for it exist. The question I am asking is if there is an official release ROM from HTC which contains HTC Album or is it ripped from another phone's ROM. Is a cooked ROM the only way to have it without installing it?
Please use this thread to post direct links to original HTC Stock ROMS for debranding of MDA Compact IV,
Unlocking software,
Original black theme and wallpaper
You tube app
Windows Live Messenger
Etc..
Please share the wealth all..
well i will be using this guide:

and applying this ROM:

Black Manila theme here:
You Tube app is missing and a CAB is needed desprately. Can anyone help?

Applying Black Manilla works just fine. However start menu is still T Mobile white. Even beaming across the original HTC Black theme and choosing that makes no difference.
However Im looking for Windows Messenger (the latest CAB on this forum didnt work) and You Tube App.
hmm i thought the start menu was just part of the theme file...
skin
I want to thank the poster of the manila theme!
I was Looking for this theme, cause the T-mobile theme with the pink logo's was so girlish
Also for other installers, during the install every thing went fine till it restarted. I looked like the phone started correctly, i heard bleeping and it shaked, but the screen was gray with borders.
After that I thought I messed something up, and tried a soft reset, after that it worked like a charm!
ok after lots of atempts i think i have got my compact to a state where you could call it de-branded??
i have got the black manilla theme from the diamond which is allot better than the pink and white! i have got windows live with messenger installed and working nicely, and i have finally managed to get the youtube app on it aswell, so apart from that is there anything else which needs to be changed software wise??
anyone else had any success with this? i know i could just flash another rom but i really want to stay under warranty
Cheers guys
Care to Share...
How You did it... step by step.
Speaking of warranty, I’m in the same boat. I got no issues of changing the ROM as long as I can get back if I need to.
We really need a copy of the T-Mobile Stock ROM!
i would also be very interested in knowing which version of messenger you got to work and where you located it
I know i can flash a different rom but don't really want to until a copy of the original t-mobile rom is available, just in case i need to revert back for warranty purposes.
how i installed Windows Live Mobile...
Okay guys bare with me and let me know if you have any success with this.....
firstly for Windows Live Mobile, i have tried loads of different cabs to get this working, but this has seemed to work for me,
1) install "Windows Live install 1st.cab" then soft reset, once you reset you will have windows live installed but there will be no messenger this should be fine if you just want hotmail.
*****make sure you dont uninstall the 1st cab! they both need to be on at the same time to work!*****
2) install "Windows Live install 2nd.cab" and again soft reset, once you reset you will have all of windows live including messenger just as it is on the stock diamond rom same version im pretty sure!
Windows live is now good to go! over wifi it will sync flawlessly, over gprs/3g it will be hit and miss, as it has been on every other device with wm6, Windows live mobile and T-mobile, i always get my emails however it will sometimes show a sync error aswell. (let me know how you get on here because i have had this connection issue with my last couple of phones!)
i take no credit for any of these files, they are already on this forum and i thank the guys who uploaded them first time around!
Original TouchFLO....
To get the original colours back into touchFLO i used the theme which was posted earlier in this thread on the first page, this does take up about 9mb of space though! however looks far better than the pink and white!
to change the start menu picture go to Start>Settings>System>TouchFlo and de-select 'Enable Large Start menu' this will then give you what ever themes your using start menu, however it wont be as large!

How did you get the you tube app to work?
There is a youtube VGA cab on this forum, which installs - however whenever you attempt to play a video there is an error message
Finally Youtube!
this was the most annoying one!
okay to install this...
1) Install "AdobeFlashLite.cab" this may or may not be required? however i installed it and everything works fine! maybe someone could try with out this and see if it still works.
2) install "HTC YouTube install 1st.cab" this will install the youtube app however it is a qvga version and looks rough on the awesome vga screen and everything is all over the place, however still works fine.
3) unzip the contents of "HTCYouTubeVGA install 2nd.zip" to your \Windows\ directory ensuring the files do go into the windows directory and not into another folder inside the windows directory i.e \Windows\HTCYou... you will be promted if you want to overwrite some files, you have to overwrite all of the existing 200 or so files!
4) do a soft reset for luck and you will now have the full youtube app aswell! exactly the same as on the diamond, i cant remember if i had to create the shortcut to the youtube app myself or if the cab did it, if you have to do it yourself the application is called youtube.exe and is in the \Windows\ folder!
Again all of these files have already been uploaded by others elsewhere in the forum! i have just got them all together, so a big thankyou to all of those members!
let me know your results
Cheers
I also did change the "on-pink" in the connection manager, this was on a dutch t-mobile device but it will probally also work on uk-versions. Just put these 2 files in the windows map with total commander or some other file manager.
Another thing I did was a hard reset and just before the branding kicks in a soft reset. You'll get a pretty clean phone, only some programs aren't installed like tf3d. For tf3d I downloaded the black manila from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408843&highlight=boinger66+black. Opera is also not installed so I will also try to install this from the same thread and give it a go.
Also you can remove the t-mobile connection button on the tf3d interface by using removing globe.cab from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681
Cheers to craigwn for the windows live messenger and youtube posts - all cabs installed straight away and with a soft reboot between each one, now both apps work great!
One small thing - I installed the youtube, wlm and then the manila theme and have just realised all my contacts have disappeared. Not sure which one of these have done it (or a combination) as I didn't check in between, but will just get them back via activesync so no problem.

i think this may have something to do with wlm, if you choose to sync contacts, it messes with the phones contacts aswell! just uncheck the option to sync contacts in the future.
HTC changed its e-Club page and added ringtones to download, including some called "DiamondRing ...". Found on the French site.
Original ringtones HTC Tytn II
Hi to you all,
I can imagine that after flashing your device, you lost your original ringtones.
It happened to me, once. Gladly, I backed them up.
To help you all, I tried to upload the original HTC Tytn II ringtones.
Unfortunately, I keep getting error messages.
I'll try again somehow, somewhen, somewhere.
Hi,
I recently upgraded my HTC Desire to Android 2.2 (froyo) and now I have lost all the HTC wallpapers which are preinstalled in the device. Can anyone tell me how to get them back?
I've kept all of them here: http://picasaweb.google.com/JAguirre1231/HeroWallpapers#
Save those to your phone and you should be good.
While it is probably not the answer you wanted, the effect is all the same.
Thanks a lot for sharing them but where did you copy them from?
I mean which folder did you access in your phone? I will put them in that folder and hopefully they'll appear in the my HTC Wallpapers tab.
