I bought this phone after careful research. I found out that the Voice Command could be downloaded. Then I found out that it might not work. Then I found out if could if I just had the right CAB. Then I found my way here. Now I have read and read for the last two weeks when ever possible and some times for over 8 hours. Here is where I am and I would love some help. I am up against a time frame that is un-movable at this point. Here I am copying and pasting:
I have read a ton of stuff and what I finally have come to is that the CAB to operate and download the BTAG is available and I found it. It is with, this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588882 I just don't know if I have to do a hard SPL or a Soft and or if I do one where to find the directions. I have read a ton of directions but it is not clear if they are necessary for this CAB and the CAB I believe is with Windows 6.5. I have 6.1. So if anyone can answer my questions it would be really wonderful....
should be closed by me for being duplicate...but I will leave it for this time so you can get your phone in gear, but in the future pls refrain from double posting/redundant thread opening, thx
I will also move the thread to general, it is not dev related
I already posted in backup thread, to add info on your h-spl question:
for cabs you don't need h-spl, that's only required for stock roms
so if this cab is only working on 6.5 you would need h-spl to get a 6.5 custom rom on your phone, but only for that
best
I appreciate your leaving it for me. You are obviously not used to working with newer people though. I posted the cab link so that it could be seen in order to ask the question. I am also packing, washing clothes, have my other phone listed on eBay, getting things ready for my garage sale, trying to be quiet while my boyfriend sleeps, feeding the dogs, trying not to upset them.....
In between that read any responses so that I know how to answer the offer on my other phone that I have listed on eBay. Download a backup for the Xperia so that I can load the CAB and if it doesn't work I can restore the backup....
Basically, I am trying to do a lot of things at once. That is why I am trying to cover everything in my posts. I have very limited time.
So, again thanks, I am still unclear as to whether or not this cab that is 6.5 or at least that is the ROM that it is in. I think, I am not very experienced in this.... ergo the link to his info. Back to what I said, I still am not clear on if it will work or I have wasted even more time??
I'm used to, nearly daily, but I don't like them posting all over the forum, especially not doing duplicates or starting new threads for anything
I understand your need but still: there are rules and they apply to everyone here, independent of them being in a hurry or not, having to do a lot of other things in parallel or not,...
I'm sure you noticed and read them during your research here, so pls abide by them
I am not quite sure what your post is even about - too much info all piled and mixed together. If you want an answer, you need to ask a question properly. So what is it that you need to know?
If any .CABs don't work, they can be uninstalled, no need to back up, restore and/or flash the entire phone just to get rid of the unworking .CABs
As far as Voice Command is concerned, I have it running on my X1 and it should run regardless of the ROM you have. I tried versions 1.6.0, 1.6.2 etc - all worked fine. The only difficulty is mapping the buttons with X1. I would recommend mapping left soft key, simply because I have the necessary functions on the screen, so didn't need a soft key to repeat the same, making the key reduntant and available for MS VC.
As far as ROM flashing is concerned, there is an excellent guide for flashing, just look for recommended stickies in ROM Development, but first it feels you are not really up to speed with the terminology - CABs, ROMs etc.
Mod, actually when I have so much to do, even though I read a lot of stuff I have not really completely become familiar with this site. If I had read that I certainly would not have posted it twice. That is why I did not PM the OP of the ROM that I have been referring to. Because what I did read was that no body wanted a lot of questions asked without someone reading.
As to the person who posted about my lingo. Thanks for your comments. I tried finding the folder for the cab on my phone. It is a new phone. Could not find it. Not sure what app it is in. I am familiar with my old phone. This is the 2nd of this one I have had to order now and the first one had so much wrong with it. I spent about a week alone just figuring out that that phone was definitely a lemon. The seller on eBay was not being truthful to me about it. That is a question I asked just recently.
.CABs are small installable programs, in order to have them on your phone, they need to be placed there by you, either to the phone itself or to the storage card, then you can install the program by clicking on the .CAB. There is no folder for the .CAB or app it can be in if you didn't have it placed there to begin with. Again, as I suspect, you are not quite familiar with terminology, you are using the right terms but in the wrong context somehow.
Not sure what you were looking for and not finding on your phone. Again, your descriptions make no sense. Just because you can't find the .CAB you never placed on the phone, doesn't make a phone a lemon, rather you having no idea how to use a phone or how to install anything on it in order for you to be able to use it.
No, I know that does not make a phone a lemon. It's a really long story. Just wanted to thank you for coming back and leaving me a more detailed answer. I am not stupid, I just have way too much too do and limited time so it is a combination of that and not enough sleep and trying to move internationally in 3 days. Thanks again!
Okay, I got it on my phone. But I can't get the bluetooth heaset to work. I read in many different places about assigning a button. I did that. I also say about doing a soft reset. I did that. I don't want to do either of those again for fear that I will loose everything I have at this point. Pleae anyone.....
You need to go to settings, open Voice Command and tick the appropriate option to use bluetooth with it.
Unless, of course, you are talking about general bluetooth connection. In which case i suggest you get settled, give yourself time and have a good read of the instruction booklet, section discussing bluetooth connection.
There are a whole bunch of choices. I am using a plantronics PRO and I saw the information about A2DP. So I tried that and it did not work....

what didn't work, your headset or A2DP? A2DP is a stereo format for stereo headsets and headphones. Is your headset stereo?

I have been reading countless threads and want to know if I am understanding the concepts.
This is what I want to do. I have been tweaking my wing since I bought it and I want to be able to start fresh. I installed some progs to the device itself and other things that I would like to fix. So....
1. I want to backup my Wing as it sits now *it does work and dont want to accidently lose anything. I have a 1 gb storage card with it, and I have an 1 gb storage card for the new Fresh setup.
2. I have been reading on a few things, and I believe I have to start with the original .RUU for my unit. I am understanding the concept of bricking, but from reading it seems its fixable by myself with the right understanding. is this true?
3. I really like these .ROMs I been seeing in the forums, stuff with gps, plugins, apps., touchflo and others all on one file. II believe i want to have the pagepool changed but it seems I have to do this seperately. I believe this is what I want to accomplish, so do I need to do something from the original .RUU to be able to put "cooked (*think that means custom package of files?" roms on my wing??? The threads are so scatterbrained that I couldnt make sense of it. I thought it was stated that I do need to mod the original .RUU with something before putting .roms on.
4. I know this is easy for some of you guys, as well as you might be on your pc often, so if anyone has the t-mobile wing and understands everything this entails, maybe a private conversation (messengers of even thru forum)? I am willing to help repost a New Thread to clarify this *beginners concept.
5. Anyone out there doing what I am looking to do, please post your specs of what .roms u used, or whatever.
Thanks in Advance for any help here guys!
This site is amazing! I'm brand new to to smart phones and customizing anything like them and I want to try to learn as much as I can before I commit to anything like changing the ROM. I just got an ATT Tilt and stumbled on this website. I spent 3 hours last night reading threads, but I still have questions. I also have a 10 month old daughter who requires constant supervision so having that much time again to read anything isn't very likely. My questions are:
1. Is the newest ROM on this site the best one to go with?
2. If so I noticed something in the thread about the time and date. If I don't change the registry, which I don't know how to do, does the date not show up, if I install this ROM?
3. Other than the keyboard fix, are there any other necessary things I'll need to fix?
4. Will the 3g still work? I saw the answer posted to this question, but all I found was the explanation of what and where the 3g was.
Thanks in advance for your responses and I apologize if these are repeat questions, but like I mentioned I read everything I could on this site and I guess I just don't understand everything. Sorry for the long post. Thanks again.
I'm not sure which rom your talking about. I didn't have any problems with time, in terms of registry tweeking, with the Dutty 6.1 rom. The date and time shows with that, but all you have to do is change the setting, as in 12 hour format or 24 and so on.
Number 3 is best left to someone whos more knowledgable than me.
Regarding number 4. 3g worked with my phone when I used Dutty's Rom with a Polaris Radio and all.
I'm sure what threads you've read, but here are the ones that helped me out. 98% of my questions were answered with the following threads and links within.
Rom Flashing Faq for Newbies
White Screen Method
List of Kaiser Roms
Radios
If you do go with Dutty's rom, then read this Wiki
This last link is THE best place to start.
Thanks a lot. I had read all those threads last night, but it was a lot to take in at one time. I just wanted to make sure I was doing everything right. I think I'm going to use Dutty's (WM6.1) and I read the wiki you were talking about, but why did you choose the radio that you did?
The radio you choose depends on your location, usage, and device... make sure you use a radio that's compatible with WM6.1 if you're going to flash Dutty's Rom. Check my signature for the ROM i use, I'm from Manchester in UK and it works well for me.
Although... don't rush in to flashing you're phone, as you've stated you are new to smartphones and customizing... it's not very difficult, but pre-mature flashing is what causes people to end up with bricked devices...

To be honest, I dont remember the deciding factor, but I know it had to do with other peoples oppinion, US residents (for signals issues and what not), and a thread that had to do with Roms.
Hi,
I have a HTC TyTn 2. Its on orange, and the details of it are:
ROM Version: 1.81.61.2 WWE
Radio Version: 1.27.14.32
Windows Mobile 6 Proffessional
I find it really boring and am looking for something to spice up the GUI.
I seen software on here called Cube. I was wondering if it actually works, and if there are any implications or lost functions related to installing it.
This is my first post, so i dont really have a clue what it is.
Also my phone is a works phone so it needs to be stable and retain all the Origigal functions.
Can anyone suggest anything??
Thanks
Gaz
There are some versions of the original "cube" as produced by HTC, which can be re-used on various devices for which it wasn't designed.
However, a number of our fellow members have written good or better 3rd party imitations of the cube launcher - try searching for cube and having a look at some of those ones.
IMHO the cube only has limited function, and you can do better with a well configured "Today" screen. There are hundreds of threads on modifying your today screen, and many screenshots for insipiration. Have a look at some of those.
At the end of the day, if you mess up your phone software wise, you can always "hard reset" which will reset to factory conditions, wiping all of your dodgy software off.

I notice that this is your first post. A friend of mine once said the enemy of "good" is "better".
It is important to remember that you are about to consider messing with an expensive "phone". It is possible to make it (read the MANY threads here) work less like a phone than you might want.
If you did that (messed up) to your phone - how upset would you be...can you be without it for a couple of days while you sort things out?
Make sure that you read the WIKI/STICKYs at the top of the messsage board. It is interesting reading acually. If you have a hard time with them you need to leave your phone alone. If you understand what they are saying, then considering a change to your phone might not be too difficult.

Yeah - I realized that I made it sound scary - but I wanted to convey (since it was specified that this is a work phone and has to maintain the original stuff...) that there was some risk - that reading was required and should be done before jumping off and trying things and then having the phone not available.
But - honestly - if what I said "scares" you - you probably ought not be messing with your "work phone" - don't you think?

I want to add

My question is do i need to upgrade to WM 6.1 first, or does this do it for me??
Do i need to do a sim unlock first??
Do i need to CID unlock first??
Ive done the reading of the wiki's but im not too sure!
Please help
Then you haven't read the wikis all the way through..
Also if that is a work phone I wouldn't flash any rom on it. (which duttys is a rom)

Yes you will need to do all of the above, but TBH if you are after retaining all of the orignial functions of the phone then a flashed ROM is about as far away from that as you can be. It adds a lot of extras in removes a lot of bloatware etc. To answer your question yes when you flash a ROM it will auto upgrade you to WM6.1
EDIT: Beat me to the puch there Chumley
mmmn.
May be you guys are right, leave the thing alone. Its just so boring though.
It is a works phone. I have to use it to access corporate network internet pages, and to telnet into certain systems. Also they are supposed to be able to track us from them via the GPS inside.
Do you think changing the ROM would be a bit dodgy???
Are there any other options to make it a bit more fancier, the thing is so dull, but Duttys Rom looks cool.

Again , Look at the page I told you about in the fourth post. Home plugin, HTC Home Customizer, Point UI , Spb Mobile Shell. These are all window dressing and will not effect the function of your phone like a rom switch ( good and bad ) will Look here for inspiration
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336013
if you are just after the "dutty look" then there is no need to flash a whole rom just to achieve that "look". you can just change you theme, install apps, change the skins etc, and you phone will look way cooler, in fact you may even become more attractive to the opposite sex
Cheers,
Just put the Slither C++ Cube thing on. Its sweet.
XtreMe_G - no new women yet... maybe it needs 24 hrs to kick in.... we'll see.
I have owned my Tilt for about 7 months and have always stuck with the stock ROMs. Extremely poor signal strength in my area has led me to try new radios, which, basically, entailed that I go all in on the ROMs. Ultimately, I had to revert to the current WM6.0 AT&T Stock ROM because there were just too many problems.
I have been with XDA Developers a long time, and find it invaluable. I have also found that it now the new trend to flame rather than answer. Bottom line, it IS possible to search and not find; and, regardless, 103 page posts are not going to be of any use to anyone. Its unfortunate.
So this message is really for those who control the Wiki and for those who control Post # 1 in their threads. There is so much information I could have used which might have made my transition a success. I provide this info in hopes that each individual in possession of editing ability might consider updating their threads.
1) HardSPL - Jaberwok has a solution for the White Screen. One of the MIDDLE powered-on steps is to remove your SIM and SD Cards. It is not possible on a Tilt (at least) to remove the sim while the unit is on. I would respectfully as that Jaberwok update his Page 1 to clarify when the SIM Card should be removed. As a note, the problem is that if you unlock the sim card slot the unit freezes and tells you it will reboot when you lock it. If you leave it unlocked the unit wont boot. If there the SIM card really needs to be out, it would be great if the instructions were reshuffled so that they don't give the impression that the SIM card is to be removed from any state other than a power off, with the door of the empty chamber locked.
2) AT&T Settings - I had decided to settle on Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid ROM as it seemed to be one of the newer ones. The AT&T connectivity customization which runs was not correct (for the United States at least). The web might connect ok via MEdia Net, but nothing else would - preferring to go to ISP (which had isp.cingular). Attempting to change these settings to mirror the Stock AT&T settings did not provide any relief. There was no way to check messages. Perhaps part of the Wiki could explain how to take anyone's custom ROM, and get it to work on the AT&T network. Checking messages would result in a "dialing error" (no matter whether the advanced connection settings were set to MEdia Net for all uses, or the values were changed to mirror the wap.cingular settings).
3) Diamond - The master ROM sticky from the Wiki is a great resource. I was afraid to try Dutty's Diamond ROM because I had no idea if Diamond was a new phone, which would then cause me to brick mine.
4) Hard Resets - All of the installation instructions, whether on the individual cooker's Post 1, or in the Rom Wiki, are fairly inconsistent on when a Hard Reset is needed. Many posts on the forum indicate Problem X -> oh did you hard reset -> yeah that worked. An example of the vagueness is: Should I hard reset before I flash HardSPL? before I flash a Radio? before a flash a ROM? and then all of the above but using "after". Unless you are a cook, cooking your favorite apps into a rom, a Hard Reset is an awful bitter pill. If there are steps which do not require a Hard Reset, it would be of great benefit to know those.
5) Radio - Would love to know if I can flash a radio without a Hard Reset afterwards. Would also love to know if I can flash a radio into the stock AT&T ROM.
6) HardSPL Post 1 - Would love to see a line about whether you need to do anything different if you already have a different HardSPL installed.
Anyway, these are the questions which I believe would be wonderful additions to the various wiki posts, etc. While I anticipate the necessary flames (gotta keep those post counts up, I guess), I believe anyone in control of these threads will note these omissions. I ask that THOSE people understand that everyone is new at flashing at least once, regardless of how experienced they are, and these omissions have tangled at least one poor soul up.
Of course, if anyone out there is also honestly willing to help with the underlying problem, I would love for some help ... I just want to get the best radio I can on my phone. If there is a ROM out there which is right for the AT&T Tilt (meaning, the AT&T connectivity settings are correct, and the keyboard is properly mapped), which has a better radio, I would dearly love to know about it.
Thanks for reading.
Re Hard resets.
Most cooked roms require you to do an additional hard reset after the device has been flashed and restarted.
This is simply something that people have learnt from experience.
The only other times you hard reset after:
1) Phone simply won't respond after trying everything
2) You've installed something and it has screwed your settings beyond any chance of recovery
3) Your rom has got cluttered after loads of installs and uninstalls... and you need to "clean" your rom but still want to keep the same one.
(But I agree that "first post" maintenance would be really handy - but the rom chefs are busy cooking - someone else should volunteer to update their first three posts.
OK But to Start all my answers were learned FROM reading and searching. Just FYI.
1) I can't really answer this. I didn't have the write screen problem.
2) If I recall correctly just about the majority of people here use MEdiaNet for their connection. There are a couple people I remember saying that they use the ISP, and they just simply changed the setting manually. If you get it to work, I'd be happy to help you create a CAB for it.
3) Rest assured that even though the Diamond is a new phone if the ROM is posted in the Kaiser Forum. Its "ok to use it on your phone. If you are worried you can wait until a couple people try it and say "This Works great" Then you can look at their signature and see they are using a Kaiser.
4) The most common answer it After a ROM flash right at when you See the "Tap to Begin" Screen.
5) I never Hard Reset after I flash a radio. I flash so much though. People recommend you flash the radio first, I've done it both ways. I Personally don't notice a difference. Questions about What radio will work with Stock AT&T ROMs, Which I believe are still WM 6.0, are toroughly answered in AllTheWays Ultimate radio Thread.
6) That would be nice. Would get more notice by the Ones in the KNow about those things if this qustion was posting in that specific thread.
7) Anyone should feel free to edit and add to the WIKI.
8) IIRC shogunmark's Death is an AT&T Tilt based ROM. But the Tytn II based Roms work fine on the Tilt. You just have to install the Tilt Keyboard Fix and Soft Reset.

I too have been a Tilt owner for 8 months, first came across this site last Nov. At that point, the Kaiser forum consisted of speculation on when the Tilt would appear in the US. I was a lurker for 6 months before I joined and posted my first question. Until then I searched ( Forum and Google ) for all my info and never, I mean never did I not find an answer to my questions.
Yes it took time and perseverance but the information was ALWAYS there.I will steadfastly stand here and argue with anyone who says " I searched and found nothing " and tell them " you searched, got bored, it was too much trouble, and you wanted instant gratification ", that is why you are posting. ( Except genuine questions on newly released items ).
That is the real reason why it is so difficult to search. Redundant posts and lazy people who think their time is too valuable to search. Want an example?
JimmyMcGee, over 1000 posts, 0 new threads
Harkadenn, 330 posts over forty new threads, 36 in one month alone, before he finally sold his phone. He had a problem, started a thread
One person, multiply that times 1000 people who think that we should just answer their questions as they come up, and not flame them to search.
I will do the math, 36000 new threads per month, you think it is impossible to search through crap now? It was not always like this, it was made like this.

Everyone has the ability to edit the Wiki. The information in this site evolves. ( see the new info about how different Spls affect your phone)The problem with the Wiki is that the people with the info mostly don't use it, the people looking for info do. Do not leave it up to everyone else. Every member has the ability and thus the responsibility to correct or update any information they feel is wrong or misguiding in the Wiki.
Anyway, these are the questions which I believe would be wonderful additions to the various wiki posts, etc. While I anticipate the necessary flames (gotta keep those post counts up, I guess), I believe anyone in control of these threads will note these omissions.

Yes we were all new at one time. Many of us searched (eight months, 200 posts, 2 new threads ) any too many didn't ( which is why we are talking about this ) . But don't blame the people flaming redundant thread starters( the people padding their post counts as you put it ). The remedy starts with you and me.
Now take the answers you get in this thread and add them to the Wiki for all others.
Hi all,
First and foremost, my apologies to all if the subjects in this post have been covered elsewhere. I've had this 2nd hand phone for only a week and I find absolutely great. I have spent the most of the last week searching forums and websites for information. Learning about new technology is something I enjoy thoroughly.
I can connect it up to my PC via USB and BT without a problem. It will connect to my WLAN without a worry. I will probably have more questions on those subjects later.
The 3 main problems I have are to do with are (1) the SIM Manager and (2) the speakerphone volume.
The SIM Manager problems are to do with:-
(a) duplicate entries after copying SIM contacts to the phone,
(b) not being able to choose between SIM and phone as to which contact list to use and
(c) not being able to edit those phone contacts on my PC like I could with Nokia's PC Suite.
(1) As far as (a) is concerned, I used "Kaiser SimFix" as suggested elsewhere in these forums and it worked a charm until I turned the phone off. It then went through the process of updating itself. After the update and seeing "UPDATE SUCCESS" at the end of several lines of tasks I found that I had to remove the battery and put it back in after a reasonable period (and yes I do know about powering down such things and waiting for the system to drain residual power) and found that the system decided to do a fresh install of the OS and everything else. Consequently, I lost all my settings and the "Kaiser SimFix" CAB file and it's effects. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
In regards to (b) is there any solution at all?
As far as (c) is concerned, is there any software out there that will let me do this?
(2) In regards to the speakerphone volume, I have read about several registry hacks here and there that seem to have some effect on this problem but I don't think this is a viable solution as, from what I have read, if you turn the phone off you have to do the hack again. I don't want to be doing this all the time.
Are there any permanent solutions to my problems anywhere, other than buying the latest and most expensive of the new toys (which I would do if I had the money )?
Cheers and many thanks in advance for any answers.
Graeme
There are several solutions to your problems.
Get advanced config (do a forum search) or sk tools (commercial, google is your friend). Both provide settings whether to show sim contacts or not.
You can synch your contacts with outlook and edit them there.
There is a software floating around in the xda forums to improve speaker volume. Once again a search will help.
Hi altae,
Thanks for the qiuck reply.
I downloaded and installed the "Advanced Config" CAB and all went well until I went to launch the program itself. I then got a message saying I need to update my version of the .net framework. Am I correct in saying I'd have do that first? If so, how and where?
As far as using outlook is concerned, for private and personal reasons, the only M$ software I will use are there operating systems. If I had any experience using another type of OS I would probably go down that path, but I don't, so I won't.
I'm having trouble getting the Windows Update program on my X1 to do anything, and yes, I am connected to my wireless network and can surf the net from the X1. Update just sits at the checking screen and does nothing.
Where do I go from here?
Cheers,
Graeme
yes, you need 3.5 of .net compact framework as stated in the app's thread
it can easily be found on the forum or via google/microsoft
you can either directly dl to your device or to your PC first b4 installing
Thanks Draken,
I managed to get the upgrade to 3.5 without a hitch. I already like this WinMo quite a deal. It makes me look like I know what I'm doing. LMAO .
I'm going to have another look at this "Advanced config" over the next couple of days and see what else it does.
As far as the loudspeaker is concerned, the volume of the ringtones, alarms and alerts are all loud enough on my phone. I have been reading and searching for days on this topic and these threads all seem to be referring to those items mentioned above and the radio which I don't use. All I'm interested in really is getting the speakerphone volume loud enough.
I have found thread leading to a cab file called "OTPXperiabeta02.cab" and might have a go at that.
What are your thoughts?
Thats enough for now.
Cheers and TIA,
Graeme.

advanced config is what the name says: advanced
you can do good, but you can also do bad when overdoing it, so start easily, don't change too much in one go (most changes requires soft reset to take effect)
in case you get problems you have it narrowed down immediately to latest change
regarding volume, there are many threads out there claiming (and enabling) full volume for this or that, as I'm content with all available volumes I didn't personally try any of them, so I can't comment
the cab you named is not known to me, so again I can't comment
enjoy the device
If you dont like Outlook it is a bit more difficult to edit your contacts using your desktop. A solution would be to export your contacts to an xlm file. Once again I have to mention SK Tools which is really worth the monney it costs. But as always with Windows Mobile there is almost certainly a freeware out there that does the same.
Im glad you managed to get advanced config running. I completely forgot to mention the .net cf 3.5 requirement.
Hi Draken & altae
I'm definitely aware of making changes on a PC and would be more so on this new device because I know so little about them .
Unfortunately, with a WinMo device, you don't have the option of using the "Custom" option while installing software that you do with new PC software.
The OTPXperiabeta02.cab appears to have done the trick at the moment but I haven't had the chance to test it fully yet. It has been suggesated to me that the problem lies in the fact that SE made the phone with poor quality speaker so that they could sell more or their BT devices. I'm not so sure about this but you never know what the marketing management of a major corporation like Sony might come up with.
I haven't installed the "Advanced Config" cab yet and will do so with the advised caution.
As I'm getting sensible answers, I'm keen to keep going on this thread with other questions and my further discoveries about this toy unless directed elsewhere. Anybody else who feels like being involved with this thread is more than welcome.
Cheers,
Graeme.

No you dont have the same possibilities as on a deskop when it comes to installing a software. But many programs leave you at least the choice whether you want to install the software onto your storage card or if you'd like it to be installed in device memory.
Concerning your contacts editing problem: I don't know every software out there. I know that there are solutions to synch your phone with other programs than MS Outlook. Some of those solutions are freeware and others commercial. Look for relevant threads here at XDA or google it. I have always used Outlook and thus have not been in need to look for another program to synch my phone.
From what I read in the forums the OPTXperiabeta02.cab is the solution for your speaker phone problems because it (the cab) improves the volume of the speaker and therefore the speaker phone too. I can't judge how much this cab improves the volume because I have never used it (I consider the volume sufficient).
There is no reason to be afraid of advanced config. It's correct that you should be careful when you tweak your phone with this tool. If you change to many values at once you take the risk of running into troubles and not beeing able to narrow down the reason because you adapted so many values simultaneously. But you won't manage to destroy your phone with advaced config. The worst that can happen is that you need to perform a hard reset because you end up with a messed up operating system.
