Hi I just upgraded to an at&t tilt. I have been reading these forums to get some customization ideas. Now I just want everyone to know this is my first ppc, just had regular cell phones before this. I have a general idea of what to do but I could use a little help.
What I want to do is get the regular black htc homescreen plug and the home screen customizer. I need help getting ahold of them and installing. From what I have seen so far I just need to find the cabs to dowload directly to my phone, or get them in a zip file and sync them from my pc. If I sync from my pc were do I put them on my phone to access the cabs and install?
If anyone can help me out it would be awsome. I need to find the files and how to install them, unless they are cabs i can download directly to the tilt. Also if anyone has any other cool apps they think would help I would like to hear about them; I will probably get pie scroll fix and some other helpful stuff too.
Thanks for all your help.
Here are the versions I'm using, with no problems. Alternatively you can go here: http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html
You can put the cabs anywhere on the phone (in any folder - my documents for example), or on a sd card then just run from there.
edit:
the home customizer didn't upload but you can get it from the link i posted
Thanks for the speedy reply!
Thanks I will install them and hopefully it will come out the way I want it. Can u put a screenshot of your homescreen so i can see what it looks like? Oh and do u have any recommendations for other tings to make my stock tilt better?
kaiser tweak
Does anyone know if the kaiser tweak already has the home screen and customizer with it, or will I have to install that seperate?

just flash a new rom.
Flash a new rom
To tell u the truth thats what i wanted to do was just flash it with the kaiser rom but I am kind of afraid to do that because i dont know much about how it will work, what it will change, if it will still work tight with at&t and i dont want to mess up my phone and void the warranty. If i just add plugins and apps I dont have to worry about it as much. Plus I have no idea how to do it.
Here you go boss

I just got my tilt a week ago, and have probably flashed it at least a dozen times by now playing with settings and trying out different ROMs.
The only problem I've had with AT&T was when i put an incompatible radio on, my sound stopped working. I could still make calls, I just couldn't hear anything.
A reflash fixed that. Other than that I haven't had any probelms
Just read through the wikis and other peoples posts and everything will(should) turn out fine

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?
Cheers

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.
if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right
Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out
cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction
Hey I need help....my G1 phone got completely wet and slowly everything came back, however my green phone/pick up/answer button is not working, so I am unable to pick up any phone calls.....I let the phone dry overnight, even removed the battery, sd card and put it in front of a fan for a couple hours...I have been trying to look for an alternate button to pick up a phone call but I'm having no luck....Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?? Any app that can change a setting or any hack, yes my phone is rooted...I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help...thanks again
Look at the phone/contact apk mods with the answer button in the dev section.
Yes there is a modified phone apk that has a answer button in the screen..
Flash an eclair ROM, and you can answer via swiping the screen.

Flash an eclair rom?
So did you drop it in the toilet or what? I am running the latest Super D ROM and it also has an answer button on screen... Haven't been back to Cyano since... ROM loyalty is great, I am all for it... but don't be afraid of trying something new...
Hi...
Just downloaded and installed Myn's Android for my HTC Touch... im having a hard time getting use to it...i guess it will come with time... but in the meantime... may be can someone tell me how to get to the dialer if i'm several levels deep in a screen, example, i'm currently downloading an app or viewing a map...and i'd like to call someone?
So far the only option is i have to back out using the camera button like 5-6 screens to get to my home screen and then click dialer... which to me is a bit unintuitive ... i've tried all combinations of buttons ( holding multiple secs too) and i couldnt find a way to get back to the home or even better dial out but clicking the send button ( which i'm used to in winmo)
Also, how do i access the running tasks? or do the tasks close eveytime i back out? I guess i need a how to use android 101..

The green key should work...if it's not you can hold in the camera button to go straight to home and click your dialer icon. For running tasks, you need to download a task manager like advanced task manager or taskkiller. Search for tatnai's FAQ to get started. I'm sure a lot of your questions will be answered there.

hold camera button for a couple sec and it will back all the way out to the homescreen without having to hit it several times.
Both the camera and green button does not have the long press function... so it does not bring the Home screen... like i saw on some youtube android tutorial... I'll check the Tatnai's FAq to see .. .may be its just a settings on the Myn which is not activated by default.. i have the RLS version 4 of MYN... (not sure which Android version it is though....) sorry i'm learning as i post the questions and skim through the various threads

I got it. Flash aospCMod or CM7 (has long press volume for media next/prev while screen is off) then get app "button remapper" and remap your phone key to media_play_pause with state wake (works while screen off), then in cm settings allow quick unlock with whatever button you want (menu,trackball,etc.) For fun you can also "freeze" the dialer and other apps so the OS won't operate them, use titanium backup. Turn off data in settings. Let me know if you need more guidance.

hmm i think i see what your saying...your saying do a fresh install of aosp so that i can get into it and change the settings.. sound about right? hmm food for thought a fresh flash would land me having to touch the android to start set up
edit...nvm im a dummy...just dont flash gapps..lol
...ill paint a picture what im doing... i have a very nice stainless steel plate ive made for the dash in a mud toy that im going to mount the phone behind and just expose the screen and track ball..from the im running it to an amplifier...ive run this setup before in a jeep...the hero is permanently mounted in the dash..lol..sounds goofy..but just a toy..and the phone was free with upgrade when i got it...just dont have the touchscreen part on it anymore...

what ROM were you on before? Hope you have a nand backup...
I now fully realize your intent, and massive roadblock to get there. It should be doable, but maybe by someone with more time or more ability than I. You would essentially have to create and update.zip for YOUR current ROM so you don't have to wipe /data. The update would have to have the hard keys remapped already built into the ROM, which is not that hard. This way, since you would be flashing over, you would not have to go thru setup. And in theory once the ROM loaded, the key mapping would already be done. AFAIK nobody has ever done the volume long press but cyanogen, and since I/m not a fan of kanging and wouldn't know where to look, you would have to remap differently. Like phone key could be play/pause, menu could be next, home could be previous, etc. This is all theory, but it should work.
AWESOME! I just re-read the thread where I learned how to remap, and I forgot you can do this with ADB while in your ROM and then reboot, no new flashing Go read this awesome thread, thanks to Decad3nce >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695936
All you need to do is pull heroc-keypad.kl and make the edits to the keys you want and then push it back.
Hmm...sure would be nice if I could just remove the start up menu and the lock screen.. I figured out how to rename keys on my evo.. My issue is getting past setup and past the lock screen...thank y'all for the.help..im gonna.mess with this during my spare time...for now ill just use an old droid I have..also remapping of keys isn't real important since I can use track ball to navigate. Solution for getting past the setup menu and lock screen is my goal.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Seems there is an option in CM for menu unlock? Just thinking out loud, but that setting would be in some XML file I'd think so the setting could be changed in that and pushed back somehow. Definitely beyond me as to that exact process or what apk or what XML that would reside in.
~maybe I set it too high...
OT - did you say JEEP!?!? That's where the TJ in my name comes from.
lol, me too with the TJ, cool. #offtopic
@OP - If you go read that thread I linked, I am almost 100% that if you change the "state" of any of those to "WAKE_DROPPED" it will unlock the phone. Any sense ROM would have menu set to do that already, as well as any CM rom. As for removing the lockscreen and setup. The setup is an apk IIRC so yes you could, but the lockscreen is tied to the world clock AFAIK, so you wouldn't want to delete that. I found an app that disables it but only for sense 2.1. Here's that link:

i know on hero sense roms some of them u can press menu to unlock by default are there any like that on the evo also i found an amazing program for pc the other day its called "android injector" what it does is u can force install apks onto your phone simply by dragging and droping onto your sd card from a computer so no need to mess with adb or having to dig through a file manager on your phone.
i found this on androidandme.com, and heres the link.
