Hi, Okay, I have read and read and read and I have finally come up with what it is that I want to do now. I may do more in the future. Now I just need to get my phone to work because I am moving and need to use it driving. I started looking for the MSVC 1.6. Finally got directed to SEX R5.0. After reading all of that I see that there is a CAB for the MSVC 1.6. It said that if I downloaded that that it would also activate the file so that it would work.
So, my question is this, I copied this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
to use as my tutorial to flash the phone. If I do this first and then download this one, the bluetooth cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588882
Will I be all set to go with the voice command software? That is as simple as I want right now. I have to get it working within the next two days.
Please if anyone can help???
That made no sense at all. Voice Command is just an app. Just get a CAB and install it like you would anything else

What are some of the 1st things i should do to my phone after getting it out of the box?
Turn it on.
Flash that silly ATT&T software off there! There are several good roms out there, have fun!
Download and read instruction manual.
Then read the XDA Kaiser wiki.
Ok it's on now!
I like the HTC look, and i see a bunch of different ROM's all saying they are HTC. I just want the original HTC look for now.
Figure out what you want out of the phone.
read the first 300-400 threads in this forum and the next one down.
install, tweak, play.
buy a micro sd card for it
I'll start with a few recommendations for you:
Pick a rom and install it. I did BigStorage
install a few programs: total commander, pocketnester+roms, Mame emu megace3, tomtom with my working cab listed in another thread, tomtom maps, vibra switch, tcpmp + flv
back it up with sprite backup to the card
enter your contacts
sync it to a PC
The first thing you should do is NOT ask questions on the boards. You will inevitably get told to use the search function, which will dependably not return what you are looking for, unless you use the advanced search to narrow your fields and then it will return nothing.
search works just fine if you know what to search for

Yesterday I was looking for a new comm manager for my kaiser. I entered "Kaiser comm manager" into search. That's pretty straight forward right? The first 5 results are about, in order: ROM, ROM, ROM, Hard SPL, ROM.
If you want to search the xda forums, you should definitely use the google search.
Do a hard reset & then when the "installing at&t customizations" pops up, do a soft reset and kill the at&t crap that gets installed.
Day 2
I successfully have removed the AT&T ROM and added a couple of the custom ROM's here at XDA to my device. Some have been a bit buggy, I cant wait to see what the future holds for this device. Has anyone looked into Threading SMS?
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
??
the link takes me to a page that say rotator admin login?
well I will have to read through the wikis. what are wikis anyway? lol!
here is the link to "G.W.E.N.I" which is basically just a big collection of helpful information/links
are there any better or newer versions of what is posted?
the backilght does not work on this version of htc home
Greeting All, I promise I wouldn't resort to starting a new thread unless I had exhausted all other options. I've searched 25+ different things on Google, read literally hundreds of thread and thousands of posts learning and creating. I've been a Mogul user for a year, but have now moved on to the Kaiser/Tilt. I've made a fantastic ROM and love everything about it except for one thing - it's missing PTT. I own a computer business and our techs use this religiously. I'd love to have it back, but have searched high and low for an OEM or CAB. I even tried extracting it myself from the latest AT&T stock ROM, only to have it never install right after creating the CAB.
I've hit road blocks and dead ends all over the forum. 4 times I found what I needed and all times the CAB/OEM/RAR no longer existed. Googling the file name returned nothing. The best I have to go on is this: I saw in a discontinued thread there was an OEM package from "_Alex_'s UltraClean ATT 1.60.502.3 ROM OEM Packages.rar", namely "PTT_2_0_614_713". It's even in the screenshots in the WIKI, but I can't find this package in v5.1 of the posted OEM packages. I've hunted everywhere for it. Forums, FTPs, Google... either I'm just completely missing it (possible - been at this problem for around 15 hours) or it's just not there anymore.
Can anyone possibley provide me with a link to the UltraClean RAR download? Or at the very least that specific OEM package? Even a CAB of it would suffice - I'll make an OEM. I'm about ready to give up and *gasp* flash a stock ROM so I can have PTT back until I get this solved. Please, someone point me in the right direction if you can. Thanks so much for everything the major players do on this forum. Love it!

This is extracted from Hermes, see if it works!
Very cool, thanks for the help. I have the same files from the original AT&T ROM, yet I was having problems converting it to a working CAB/OEM. However, your attachment helped me run across something else that might work. I searched for "PTT=2_0_703_715" instead of "PTT_2_0_703_715" and came up with a few more hits. I think I can build an OEM from it and eventually a CAB. If so, I'll be sure to post it all here for anyone like me.
Thanks so much!
::EDIT:: - I just realized that this IS a complete OEM. The file I was missing before was marked as system so it wasn't showing up at first. (When I recreated it manually, I got the error of it's already there...) I'll see if making this into a CAB works on the cooked ROM. If so, you're my hero. If not, you've still given me something to work with!! Thanks again.
::EDIT AGAIN:: - Well, creating a CAB from those files didn't seem to work, but it's entirely possible I just did that wrong. It installed successfully (so it claims), but I can't get the button to remap properly either via Registry during install or manually assigning it to PTT. (Mapping it to Comm Manager and MS Voice CMD works perfectly though.) Starting PTT manually (from the PTT folder under Windows after install) seems to work at first. It warns of possible extra charges and starts to provision service, but it never finishes. No error message (that I can make out... there is a scrambled text message which is what currently happens when someone who has PTT tries to message me or their status changes, etc). I'll try cooking it into a ROM and see what comes of that. FWIW, I also tried building the additional files from a stock AT&T Tilt firmware. I'm hoping someone else can come through with the original OEM files I was after (pictured in the Kaiser Kitchen Wiki from _Alex_) so I can try to turn them into a CAB. Otherwise, I'll keep tinkering with what I have to work with and see what happens.

Peace. ~G
Sorry for the double post, but this i something that may help others running across this thread - rusyn posted a cab that might work. Unfortunately I haven't tested it yet, but it seems like they had luck! The thread is HERE. I'm skeptical if it maps the PTT button correctly because it looks like the same files I packed myself into a CAB, yet it gave me a bit of grief with that. (Of course, I very well could have done it wrong, but it was far from my first CAB creation.)
Either way, give it a go if you were hunting like me.

Hey guys, I have the official ROM from HTC for my Fuze, and I'm scared to flash a new rom cause I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.
That being said, my question is this: With the rom update, I can no longer send texts to more than one person at a time. I'm wondering if there's a program I can install (that doesn't require a register edit cause I'm scared to mess something up there too) that can allow me to send group messages again.
Thanks for any help.
have you tried "SMSer 1.0"? you can get it at 1800pocketpc or google search it. i haven't tried it but it should work and should be free
I use a bit of freeware called Moblmsg. it allows you to create groups and send texts to groups. Think i got it from freeware pocketpc site.
the only downside is that the 'sent' texts dont appear in your 'sent folder (but can be viewed through the Moblmsg 'log' button).
Easy to use. its not perfect but ive not found anything better
oh ... and by the way .... the first flash is scary but after youve done it once you'll be hooked
Ask the OP from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548131
Hey guys, I am new here and have no idea how all this stuff works. This probably sounds pretty stupid, but could anyone explain all this stuff to me?
You need to start your education here.
we could, buuuut, theres a wiki for that. ;].
A rom, to a phone, is like every thing you know in your brain. It has all the information the phone needs to function. without it, youve got an expensive paper weight, as everyone likes to say. When you change roms, you flash them to your phone. "Flash" is a term synonymous with change or rewrite, if you will. And its fairly quite simple to execute.
Before we start, I'm not responsible if you don't read my directions carefully or mess it up. So read and re-read, then ask if you're still unsure.
First, you need to flash the HardSPL if youve never devirginized your TP2. Maybe someone could help with that step, as i only flash the hardspl when i absolutely need to which has been... 3 times.
After you flash the HardSPL, download a rom from here. now, i know youre gonna ask "which one?".. its trial and error, find one that works for you and then follow that cook and his/her updates. I find that NRGZ Photon rom is very stable for 6.5. Everyone else seems to be in the market for 6.5.1, or Manila 2.5 as featured on the HTC Leo, which isn't completely stable or functional. I'd recommend that you start with a 6.1 or 6.5 rom, and stick with that until you pick up stuff and learn more. So stay away from the 6.5.1, as it is still very beta.
Before you open the file that youve downloaded, you need to download a program that will unpack the RAR file, which should hold the NBH file and the RUU. [ill get to that in a sec.] I find that the best program to use is WinRAR, which can be downloaded for free. Open your file with WinRAR and extract the files. Make sure your NBH file and your RUU are in the same folder, or else you will get an error. For me, I organize all of my downloads. optional: create a folder "roms" > photon, leo, or some other version > and the builds... Every time you extract a file to a folder, itll overwrite the existing file, and thats why i have it all organized.
Whats in the file: NBH file. This is the knowledge needed by your TP2 to function. Connect your phone to the computer and let it sync with activesync. Click on explore and it should bring up a folder with an orange phone, and the path name at the top should read Mobile Device. Drag and drop the NBH file on that page. The files name should be RHODIMG.NBH.
Once you've done that, double click on the RUU [rom update utility]. The name of that should read CustomRUU.exe, double click... once you do that, read all of the directions it displays.
Just a quick note, make sure your battery is at least halfway full, so your phone won't die in the middle of the flash, as it will not charge during this time.
Everything from there on is very, very simple. Once you get through all of the steps, [clicking all the check marks, making sure you've gone through the steps], you're phones screen will display three different colors, red, white and blue, i believe. Don't be alarmed, this is normal. It will start to flash, and a status bar displaying a percentage will display both on your computer and your phone. IMPORTANT: DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE DURING THIS PART. If you disconnect your phone, its done, dig it a grave, for the most part. Make sure your cable is of good quality, and that your phone will not fall or get yanked and disconnect.
Once it has finished and the RUU displays a message with "custom rom has finished" or something of that nature, click finish at the bottom right, and your phone should restart and start to configure itself. I wait til it's done configuring to disconnect, just to be safe. And that should be it. :].
i know its hard to understand some of the directions around here, whether it be from lack of definition or complication. I hope this helps a little. Sorry for the length. I had trouble understanding what to do when I first started because there wasn't any clarification.
Happy Flashing,
-josh.
reply if you have questions, or PM me.
What is flashing and how does it work?
You take off all your clothes and put on a long rain coat. You then go down to the park and wait in the bushes for someone to walk by. When they do, jump out and open your coat!
This is real flashing

But children use this forum too, link removed.
@OP
Have read of the stickies and the wiki. A lot of what you want to know is already explained, you have to read, and find out.
A starter... flashing is the process of updating the phones software (everything, including the OS)
