Trouble getting off the ground in this new universe

I'm extremely new to this, but have been studying the site for many hours over several days, so I'm not trying to get lazy information w/o doing my homework.

I've tried to do the HardSPL, but I seem to get stuck at the standard "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility," where I'm supposed to be flashing Hard SPL to my AT&T Tilt.

First, it asks me to check the box if I understand the sentence, "This RUU will allow you to load any NBH image onto your Kaiser since it loads JumpSPL bootloader for the flashing process." I don't fully understand any of these acronyms, and the ReadMe file at this point "can't be found." But from studying the threads, it seems I might know enough to go ahead. (Mistake?)

So I got to the next puzzle of how to "establish an Active Sync connection with your PDA Phone." It's been gray ever since unplugging and re-plugging my USB cable, as instructed, and I can't figure out how to make it active/green again (which is apparently what's needed now for this instruction).

Originally, I thought that the HardSPL was finished by this point (wrong assumption?), so I re-started my Tilt and computer, as suggested by intothevoid for morphiew, and tried to run Dutty's rom. But after both the Tilt and the computer get as far as displaying a percentage barchart of 0% each, it goes to an error message saying that the computer has lost contact with the Tilt. The program gives me steps to recover (disconnect, remove battery), and then the Tilt always recovers in regular (non-TriColor) mode, but then always repeats the same error when I repeat, trying three times.

Other context:

I'm using XP.

I am unzipping first, and using the unzipped version.

I have an AT&T Tilt.

I'm not using/subscribing to any data services, such as e-mail or the web.

I tried the rapidshare version and the mirror at mednor.net.

I've tried rebooting my computer.

I've tried allowing and disallowing USB connections, under ActiveSync/File/Connection Settings.

I'd really appreciate any advice on what I'm doing wrong. I'm so new to this that I must not be catching the meanings of various posts. If I've missed something, I've probably already read it and just not grasped it, so if this is the case, please point me where to go, and perhaps give me and others a clue for deciphering terms. I've tried looking in the Wiki and in Google for many terms, but most aren't there, leaving neophytes like me to just try to guess from context. I really want to learn to intelligently customize my phone, instead of using the stock AT&T rom, but I and my family cannot afford to ruin this new phone if I don't have a reasonable chance of doing it right.

Thank you =very= much.

DS,

I won't absolutely flame you since I am a newb also. I also have done a ton of reading and been flashing now for a couple of weeks, so I have gotten it to work.

Did you ever get Activesync to work? I mean, when it was new and virgin you got it to sync with outlook or at least get into file-explorer to mess around inside the Tilt, right? You will need activesync to work normally.

If Activesync doesn't work correctly with your virgin phone, I wouldn't try to flash it until it does.

If it does work correctly, great. I just followed the Hermes HardSPL flash from MRVANX with the Kaiser HardSPL.

Also, you will need the .NET 2.0 Framework installed from MS.

MrVanX has everything you need on his site. Follow it to the letter...

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27

I don't know where you are plugging in and unplugging the cable. The RUU utility will do this automatically. Don't touch a thing once it starts. On your Tilt you may need to hit "Accept" with your stylus in a couple of places before it starts. Just something to watch for.

Download HardSpl. Unzip the files to a folder. Plug your tilt into USB and make sure it is sync'd with activesync. DON'T touch it once it is unless MrVanX says to.

I hope that helps.

auto use wifi

On my previous rom, when using internet it would default to WIFI whenever it was available. On this rom (I know its not rom related, great job dutty), I cant seem to get it to use WIFI unless I manually make the change under "connection" and "selected networks", where I change it from medianet to "my work network" (which it considers wifi). Question is, how do I make it automatically use wifi when its available and not medianet?

Hi Dutty,

I would like create new Incoming BT COM port on my PDA to use Kaiser with GPS2Blue software.

Can you please solve this problem?

Thanks!

as always this rom is solid. fast and responsive. but the jury is still out on the new radio. i cannot make any solid claims on its performance...but i can't bash it either. it seems to be the same as far as signal goes. as far as battery life...seems about the same. im in NYC...anyone else think its an even draw?

great job throy! ya a real bad mon!

The new Radio seems to work very similar to the 1.27.12.11. This may be all I’m my mind but I think the audio quality may be a slightly improved with the new 1.27.14.09 (the audio quality was great to begin with). I have not noticed any improvements with download speeds or connectivity. For what it’s worth, I am in Los Angeles, CA.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ramontrotman:
good point....gone is the "hallow" sound i got ever now and then. i forgot about that. well...1 up for the new radio.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
I would have to say that I get faster connection when making calls. Reception has improved for me deffinately indoors. As far as data is concerned I mostly have 3G turned off because of the incredible battery life it consumes...but all in all I say its better than the previous release...

BTW I'm in Sacramento, CA

I have the same problem. It is an S2U2 issue (I think). My issue is worse because my Exchange server enforces a password lock policy on the PDA and I have to somehow fumble with the keypad trying to unlock a 'hidden' screen that doesn't show because S2U2 has been running for a while. It doesn't happen with recent unlocks but with a phone that has not been turned on for a while. And heaven forbid if a phone call comes in! I can't take it because the screen doesn't respond to the 'receive call' button.

Any ideas are welcome.

Dialer pad doesn't have quick access to contacts

I just realized yesterday that the dialer skin used in this ROM does not have soft key access to the contacts database. Instead, it has a scrollable list that doesn't make it easy for one handed operation. So, my questions are this. Is this an intentional design not to include it as this is a 'cube' focused ROM and we should be using the contact page of the cube, along with the contact database button on the bottom of that screen?

Am I limited to only using the dialer skin that is included in this rom? I quite liked the one that is in the non-tilt version of Dutty's ROM. Can I use that instead? If so, is it available as a separate cab?

Thanks

David
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ponch92:
I'm liking the new rom but... I hate to say this... I don't like the cube stuff. Any ideas on how I can keep the radio but get rid of the touch stuff?

Thanks!

*EDIT

I'll clarify... I removed the cube, removed the S2U2, and did the reg fix to get the contacts back into the home screen. Dutty, you have done so much better (in my opinion) than the other ROMs ... at least in my case with my TILT. When you released this ROM with ATT specific fixes I had to try it! Any plans on making any more ROMs for the TILT crowd that may not be cube? These really are fantastic.

problem with logmein

I have noticed this problem and I can't seem to find a solution.

Almost every stock rom (att for tilt, verizon for 6700) worked perfectly with logmein (which is what I am using now) and pcanywhere.

However, after I changed the stock rom to anyone else's (including dutty's which I am using now) the window for remote access will not come up.

Any idea what is causing this? I hate to have to revert to the att stock rom just so I can have access to this.

Horrible ROM. Extremely unstable on my Tilt. Your previous work was much better.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] AllTheWay:
Wow, what great insight you are providing. To come on here and just say its horrible without providing any information on what problem you may be having is childish. Provide some detail on what problems you may be facing so users, or Dutty, might be able to fix it on another build. :mad:

I really liked this ROM when I was using it.

So, if you flash this rom you get a new Radio, which is sounding like it is a good one. My question is, if you flash a different ROM will all be okay? I am currently on Dutty's Hybrid Rom NO.4 (which I really like) and may want to go back to it if I dislike this cube stuff.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
The implication here is that if you decide to go with a non-Tilt ROM you should go back to one of the other radios or you may suffer no audio etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Blowfish64:
I figured "extremely unstable" was simple enough mainly because there's little to describe. It froze my phone constantly. There was no pattern to it, there were no extra installed programs to conflict with it. I'd be tapping away at the screen one moment and then the next I'd have to reset. I went back to Hybrid No. 4 and everything is stable again. To people who are considering this ROM, I figured I'd provide fair warning that it doesn't work for everyone.

And to the person who asked "Where's yours?" well, you're an idiot. I'm not going to bother to explain the logical fallacy in your argument.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] lotw:
I am currently testing out this ROM. Upgraded from the Touchflo Beta 3. So far it is very stable and seems pretty speedy. If I run into any problems I will post them, I use my phone heavily for newsgroups, texting, etc. so if there are bugs I should find them within a day or two.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ramontrotman:
guys....if you dont like the cube just uninstall it from the uninstall programs in settings. that is what i did with the other 2 betas before this. i left it in this time beause it works...but i would still say upgrade to this from for the rom itself...its superb.

as far as the radio...if you flash to another rom the radio from this rom stays. unless you manaully change the rom yourself.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] _LEM_:
Does the cube work fine for you guys? Mine it's not very sensitive. Usually I have to try several times until it does what I want. Something similar to what you see in the beta video.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] aadadams:
You will get better with practice. I usually use the lines rotate the cube from left to right, and using the right side of the screen works pretty well for activating the cube.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] intothevoid:
The cube works a little slow due to the missing graphics support from HTC. The cube works faster on my HTC Herald which is far inferior compared to the TILT but apparently has somewhat better graphics support. Until HTC provides us users with upgraded rom with proper graphics support the Cube will work a little slow. But Dutty's rom is far superior compared to the stock roms out there in terms usability and general performance of the phone.

Please sign this petition which will hopefully do something in terms of improving the graphics on the Tilt/Kaiser/TYTN II

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Augster:
Dutty, I love the ROM! Works great and flawlessly from the word go. The only thing I needed to add was KaiserTweak, Quickmenu, and Java and this just rocks! Thanks much!

With that out of the way, I am having a little bit of trouble with power consumption. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

Previously, I had Gullum's Rom on there. I have my Yahoo! mail set up to look every 10 minutes or so. I have KaiserTweak set up to drop my GPRS connection when idle for 1 minute. I also have the KT set up with the advised settings in the handling of GPRS connections. (1 minute etc.)

I had this set up on Gullum's ROM also. The Stock Tilt Rom used to just eat the battery every day because there was no way to stop it from accessing the GPRS connection constantly. I switched to Gullum's, plus the KT tweaks above, and I would still have well over 70% battery after being off the charger for 14 hours+.

Since switching to Dutty's, my battery is around 30% at the end of the day. The only difference I can see is S2UL. For some reason, every time I unlock it, my GPRS connection is active. Seconds afterward, it disconnects the GPRS. I finally caught the "H" once with my stylus (after being away from the phone for an hour) and saw the connection had been on for 50 minutes. UGH!

I guess I am asking about S2UL. Is this something anyone else has noticed with it. I LOVE the app, so I don't want to do without it, but to me it seems to be stopping the KaiserTweak setting from auto-disconnecting the open GPRS connections.

Thanks for any help, sorry for the long post, and THANKS! for the GREAT ROM!

USB car charger

Does anyone have a problem with a car charger, with my original T-mobile rom and the Helmi_c rom I did not have this problem.

Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SteinyD:
... and you paid how much for this? You're free to put the stock rom back on .. better yet, build one thats better and share it with the community here.

How about some constructive feedback for a cook thats been working hard on their own time to help the community.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SteinyD:
The problem with your comments is that you come in to a thread of hundreds of messages, many reflecting that the majority are having great success with this ROM (me included). So to simply say this rom 'sucks' and sign off doesn't help anyone understand how to start helping you, what suggestions to make, etc. It is unfortunate you're having difficulty but plenty of those that have installed it are not. Doesn't make it a bad ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] moderateinny:
I've not had this experience at all with this ROM. But if I had this issue with it I'd certainly post more than "it sucks" if I had any hopes of the cook trying to fix the problem. Frankly if you're unable to constructively provide feedback to the guys that cook these things up then perhaps playing around with hacked ROMs is not your cup of tea. Stick with the stock ROM as a previous poster suggested and feel free to call AT&T for support. I'm guessing it won't approach the support you'll get up here if you simply provide more details to bugs you find and settle down a bit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] vastelectron:
I'm happy with this ROM

I don't use the cube much because all the programs are not interesting b/c most available on Today screen or in start menu. Perhaps in beta2 put some games, or special programs that make it look like the iphone? :), yeah and use the lines separating the programs "as a guide" is a good way to spin the cube. Perhaps add some colors to the guide.

Yeah battery drains fast, like in previous post could it be S2U2 is preventing KT to works properly? might need a fix for this.

Here are some tips for the tilt users to make this ROM perfect:

Modify the registry if you want these options:

Screen Turning off Too quickly during a call - fix

\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplay DuringCall

Change Value from "1" to "0"

Disable SMS Sent Notification

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox

Click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key

Name the New Key as "Settings"

Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value

On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1

Soft reset your device

Camera bug that makes each picture rotated 90 degrees clockwise by default - Fix

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image

Change the value named "EnableEncodePortrait" from "1" to "0"

Very important registry change for TILT: need this to install at&t programs and use them.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer\User Agent]

"CustomBase"="HTC-8900/1.2 Mozilla/4.0"

In your My ISP network settings edit as below: just follow all the steps and find what simliar as below and fix them

isp.cingular to wap.cingular --> "Access point name" field

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

Domain: Blank

And try to set all your programs to use MEdia Net under network settings.

To watch Cellular video after you have AT&T cellular video cab install. Use Total Commander and do a search for realplayer.exe then Open IT .. go into option and change connection to use Media Net. Also do this for your yahoo email account (after setup) if you use yahoo webmail.

I hope my directions are clear cuz it took a lot of research, hours of reading, and it's sorta like a summary of everything. OH yeah and I like to use My favorite people on today screen (doesn't work in this ROM), haven't found a fix yet. Sorry for the long post...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wsmc551:
Dutty posted a fix for the contacts icon a few pages back, its also on page his first post in his other non tilt touchflo rom. I would hunt it down but I have to run :)

I don’t see a significantly increased drain of the battery vs the stock ATT Rom. I think I am playing with the phone more, showing it off and such, that has had the greatest effect on battery life. As far as one users comments above regarding the USB car charger, mine still works as always. I would suspect your car charger is defective before the Rom.

Out of the 5 or so Roms I have tired this one is by far been the most usable for my needs. Its been 100% stable, faster than the stock ATT Rom, and it just looks cool :D.

In each Rom I only ever had to flash the phone once and it works as described. I would suggest to anyone who is having continuing problems that maybe its not the Rom :eek:. Read the instructions carefully, read the threads regarding the Roms you are interested in FULLY and for gods sake READ THE STICKYS that cover proper Rom Flashing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] wsmc551:
All of this and more can be taken care of simply with the Kaiser Tweak Registry editor. As far as the internet "Costume Base" this setting can be edited through the supplied Advanced Config tool in the Accessories folder.

There is no need to manually set up the Media Net for ATT users. Just select it under the Connections window Advanced tab and select the Media Net, disable the proxy and your good to go! I found I needed to select Media Net for my email to work properly as well.

Ok, I just installed this ROM yesterday and set my device up with all the software I want. I found that the Large Start Bar app causes major problems if you organize your \windows\start menu. I have moved things around to make the menu not so big and once you do that Large Start Bar makes the start bar not usuable. If you click on settings, it actually runs the last program you ran, click on programs and nothing but a beep happens. That app should be removed from the package, if people like it should be installed as an option.

Dutty Kaiser II Rom & PTT function on ATT

Hi all: Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. I have the HTC Kaiser II, I installed the unlocker and the lates 11/17 ROM and it upgraded and workes great. There are many very functional features that I have found just playing with it. Since I had not installed any other ROM I do not have anything to compare it. I also have the Touch and liked the TouchFlo interface I just did not use it cuz of the lack of a good useable touch keyboard.

In anticipation of the Touch Cruise which will have a 5-way TouchFlo interface I find myself getting used to it more now. I did have an Iphone for awhile I loved the interface but lack of some of my WM programs like Slingplayer drove me back. Since I have the Ipod Touch I am getting my Iphone "fix" :) Since I installed this ROM it's totally renewed my love for this phone. I wish there was a way to have dual nam's like the old days since I have two phones with ATT.

Dutty, do you expect to add PTT functionality for Att's network? I hope everyone is supporting with donations since there is a lot of time put into this stuff. I know a big motivator is the fun in how the phone can be made better. Thanks again Dutty and everyone who has out their time into making the phone better.
