[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
Update: I'm holding off on updating the Tilt wiki for a while, because these seem to be issues rather than things we can really sort and alphabetize at this current time (and I suck at coding/formatting, period). If someone would like to suggest a potential setup for the Tilt section in the Wiki, please let me know.

I limited this to address nothing but Tilt questions that seem to come up waaaay too often…

How do I put/install/flash a new ROM on my Tilt?

Why is the keyboard on my Tilt fuc*ed up when I put an HTC (OEM) ROM on my Tilt?

How do I remap the stupid PTT button on my Tilt to something useful?

Well, you can flash your Tilt with an HTC ROM which will fix it instantly, or try to read through this (reading = pain in the ass) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=334759&highlight=ptt+button

How do I SIM (subsidy) unlock my Tilt?

Assuming the phone was obtained though ATT legitimately (i.e. you have a contract with ATT): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=335392&highlight=sim+unlock (if you’re a long-time ATT customer this is Guaranteed to work)

Assuming you stole/bought the Tilt on eBay: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=314547&highlight=sim+unlock (thanks tupisdin for doing this)

How do I get all the crap (bloatware) off my Tilt without flashing it?

Soft-reset (take the battery out) upon initial configuration (the part when is says “Windows will begin customization in x seconds”). If you’re past this point, do a hard reset (press both soft-keys at the same time and simultaneously insert your stylus into the bottom reset hole), and then do the soft reset thing upon configuration.

Where do I get the ATT/Cingular cabs for my Tilt so I can load tons of bloatware on my speedy HTC ROM?

Why won’t TomTom Navigator 6 (that I got off of forums/internet) not work on my Tilt?

Because it was made for the Kaiser ROM as a “taster version”…If you want it, buy it…support good products.

Update: The mods ruling on this is that any other version than the TomTom "Taster" version that came with the HTC ROM is considered Warez, so please don't post. This also goes for where to obtain TomTom maps (without buying them), etc.

Do I need a tethering plan with AT&T to tether my Tilt with my laptop?

HELL NO…just don’t download too much or you WILL get caught and be struck by the long arm of AT&T’s “excess data” charges http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=336429&highlight=tether

I have problems getting cool stuff like streaming media (videos, internet radio, etc) and YouTube mobile to work on my Tilt with an HTC ROM on it?

Go to Settings, Connections Tab Connections I forget exactly where it is (hopefully someone can give some input) cause I got rid of mine, but just make sure you uncheck the box that says “my server uses a proxy to connect to the internet” and it should all work fine.

I flashed my Tilt with an HTC ROM and now it freezes up a lot, how can I fix this?

You need to do a Clear Storage. Known issues causing freeze-ups at this time include have PIE save your temp cache to storage card, using some versions of the HTCHome plugin, and older versions of BlackBerry Connect. Issues outlined here:

How do I stop the "Connecting.." pop-up when I connect to the internet with Tilt?

Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications...from the Event list, select "Connection established", remove the checkmark from the "Display message on screen". Click OK button...done. (Thanks cortezzi and FoneJunkie)

How do I disable the TouchFlo "clicking sound" on my Tilt?

Edit the registry setting:

HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\EnableSound

disabled = 1

It's also included in the Kaiser Tweaks app here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=333898 (thanks greg3d)

If you don't have a mobile registry editor already, here is a good one http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx

(This is actually more of a universal question, but...) How do I disable the annoying ass AT&T animation at startup?

You need a mobile registry editor to do this:

go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation

just set the "enabled" value to 0 and that will get rid of THE most annoying startup animation/sound ever (thanks to myself)
