damnitf*ck****...peeeeeeeeeep!!! My computer crashed yesterdayevening while cooking up my rom, and i dindt make a backup since i began cooking this rom... So it means that i'lla have to strat over again, but i don't mind, ii like cooking.

I'ma making sure i do backups every time:D

So the next version will take a while to compile, but it'll be ready before nexzt weekend.

Trying to use it in my next rom, great package Noon.

Thnx m8, i'm still learning a lot from the ervius kitchen, and of the new packages everyone makes.

I'm trying to redesign the ui all over, redesign my own titanium with custom apps and such. but that will be a hard process to learn and apply.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ClanMoffat:
Hi folks!

Sorry - I am a complete novice to ROM upgrades etc...

I have an MDA Touch Plus Mobile with T-Mobile, running Windows Mobile 6.0.

I want to upgrade to WM 6.1 or 6.5, however the HTC website suggest that my phone (via S/N number) is not valid for the 6.1 upgrade... :mad:

T-Mobile support is worse than pathetic and offer no advice at all...

Can anyone suggest if it's possible to get the upgrade for my phone and how I would go about it...?

( Remember I'm a novice to Rom upgrades!)

P.S.

Many thanks and aplogies to those guru's out there who have gone through this issue a million times with folk like me...:confused:

- As a Db Progress developer I can relate - Give me a Progress DB and I'm happy, give me a car with a broken Altenator and I pass....

First install the Hard SPL boot loader, after that install a custom rom with wether wm6.1 or wm6.5.

Take a deep look http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=404 here.

Everything you need can be found THERE.

Check out the HardSPL thread and then start reading about custom roms.

If you have any questions : read again. If you still have any questions : read again...

[XPERIA X1 General] figofigo:
hi all i change this screen

i have inesoft and i dont want to remove it want program to change this dialer screen
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
Purchase AEButton Plus. It allows you to change call button. All you have to do is use the program to make an .exe correspond to that button.

I pay for alot of softwares, but I know that there are freeware applications on XDA too. I think there are developer software for this in which it is totally free. Search for it......

Also, when I use Inesoft, the call button brings me to Inesoft phone menu...so I don't know what you are doing wrong, try changing inesoft settings too.

is there anythiong else ?
[XPERIA X1 General] poetryrocksalot:
OMG Pay attention will you?

Go buy AEBplus and use that program to change the function of your call key. How hard is that?

If you can't understand this than by god, I hope you understand this...try these steps:

1) Open your windows mobile registry editor (you can use Resco Explorer or SKTools for this but they cost money, please for ask others for free alternatives)

2) Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCR\\callto\DefaultIcon\Default\

Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCR\\callto\Shell\Open\Command\Default\

Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCR\\dtmf\DefaultIcon\Default\

Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCR\\dtmf\Shell\Open\Command\Default\

Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCU\\tel\DefaultIcon\Default\

Browse into this directory within the registry: HKCU\\tel\Shell\Open\Command\Default\

3) Change the cprog.exe into inesoft's exe [obviously I do not know the exact name for inesoft's .exe

4) See if this works

I don't know if this works...it could ***k your registry and freeze your device. So listen to me and go look for a buttom mapper on the forum and fix your problem to map the button to inesoft's exe
[XPERIA X1 General] figofigo:
dont understand :D:D

can u explain more :D

[G1 General] jashsu:
It's pointless to fine-grain compare bandwidth test results of an internet connection with a shared interface (in this case the 2G/3G air interface) since the amount of load on the interface is changing constantly. At best you could use your speed test to get in the ballpark (i.e. to confirm you are really on HSDPA) but to say 'my radio dropped my download speed from 800Kb/s to 600Kb/s' is probably erroneous because a difference of 200Kb/s is definitely well within the variation of an air interface. Unless of course you conduct a controlled experiment with both radios with many data points and you can actually draw a distinct correlation.

Edit: By the way a somewhat more accurate bandwidth test is here:

[G1 General] dwright48:
Speed test is wrong

the way the cellular internet works: all data in all networks are sent in packets of information. if you run a longer test then you will get a more accurate reading. mine said 572kb/s
[G1 General] phuKKah:
Not wrong, but not accurate.

There is no accurate way of testing, as there is no constant speed.

Somedays you might get a really high measure on speed test, while you might get a low speed that is unheard of on other days.

So I mostly agree with you xDDD
[G1 General] jashsu:
b=bit B=byte, just so you know.

One should also keep in mind that bandwidth tests usually only test the speed of a single connection. As anyone who has used a multi-part download manager knows, you can usually get a higher overall throughput with multiple connections going. This seems especially the case with UMTS networks, where carriers probably throttle down individual connections to try ensuring that each user gets a fair slice of the pie.

I notice that I get the fastest speeds on my 3G when I am downloading usenet files (10 concurrent connections, each connection only downloading a few hundred kb at a time). While I might max my single connection download speed at 400 Kb/sec (50KByte/sec), I can usually get about 1.5MBit/sec when running multiple connections to a fast server. It's not the 3.6MBit/sec advertised, but not bad either.

[Off-topic] denco7:
My phone works perfect, it is a delight to use, does everything you mentioned above, great to reasonably well. It is fast, user friendly and I can't wait until I can upgrade to the TP II

My advice to you, since you are clueless, get the ipod that makes phone calls, it is built and over marketed especially for clueless people.
[Off-topic] gogol:
Agreed with denco7,

My HTC Kaiser (TyTn II) is also working fine. It is a great QVGA 2.8" phone!

ActiveSync works and simply works, I have never got any issue like you described.

GPS works, although TT7 is slower than TT6, but thats TT problem, not the phone.

I found Opera Mini works briliant with the D-Pad, which is much better than D-Pad-less phone. You know, press button to zoom, back to unzoom, scroll with D-Pad ... all one handed.

Screen goes out during call? Get a clue :) You knew this website, it should be the best resource.

My suggestion, dont use PDA :) Because it might be too complicated for you.
[Off-topic] afn691:
I like my TyTN II.

Maybe some of the things you think missed, you could configure them another way to get the most of the device. I think I'll never finish to get more and more from it. And I exhausted a P4350 before changing to the Kaiser.
[Off-topic] olliric:
The PDA was also used by a friend of mine who is a blackberry user and talented software developer with many years of experience in IT. He did notice the same things and at times the thing did drive him crazy too.

My friend is also a guy that has switched to Linux long time ago. I have been too lazy and suffered in silence with MS crap but hopefully I will find the time to invest in changing for the better.

My friend impressions made me realize that I am not clueless as you say. In fact being a marine engineer I have dealt with equipment of all sorts for many years.

The PDA is designed by geeks for geeks. It is not a product for normal people. Anybody that buys this device has to spend many, many hours tying to sort it out and make it work better. I did that at the beginning and downloaded many fixes and upgrades. The very existance of this website and the number of people that use it is an indication that this PDA is not a product you switch on and just use. Very far from it.

I think you are like many people that after spending all that money don't want to admit that they got a lemon. The fact that you want to upgrade is a clear indication that you are not that satisfied with the gadget.

Just pick it up and slide the keyboard slightly. It takes 4.8 sec for the display to go from vertical to horizontal and back. If that is fast then you must be very slow.

Cheers
[Off-topic] redsrule2500:
Yeah I also suggest you get an iphone. It's for people just like you.

No customization and power-user options, but your grandma can figure out the basic PDA functions.

TytnII has been great for me.
[Off-topic] galaxys:
This is a negative and boring thread from the op! With some effort you can do a lot with the tytn2 as well as the tytn1! Very good devices!
[Off-topic] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
I very much enjoy my Kaiser. I had some of the problems the OP had when I was running the AT&T stock ROM (with bloatware), but all that changed when I started using custom ROMs. The Kaiser is actually a very capable device, the only reason it underperforms is because it's hardware isn't fully taken advantage of (but even that's improving now). Once I flash a ROM and spend a whole 10 minutes customizing the device to how I like it, it runs like a dream.

OP: As the others have said in this thread, if you aren't willing to tweak the device, and customize the living crap out of it in order to get a faster Kaiser, maybe a feature phone or iPhone would be more suitable for you.

Dave

PS: (I have a 286, and it runs fine!)
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
I have a tytn, tytnII, titan, touch pro and a fuze. I must admit that every one of these devices were less than spectacular in the as-shipped form from the service provider. Thats why I found this site so I could make them all perform up to their hype.

Every one of them, thanks to the wonderful developers here, will outperform an iphown now. I have had very little problems like the OP described that were not simply fixed by changing a setting here or there. I like my tilt better than any of the others I have had (except the fuze.)
[Off-topic] addicus:
My 8525 (TyTn) works great and it has less power than the TyTnII. You can not get the most out of the phone unless you get rid of the stock OS. That's why XDA Devs rocks. Once the stock OS is gone - the phones rock!
[Off-topic] olliric:
Hi Mike,

It's not about being supportive or not. It's about giving a broad range of perspective so if tomorrow somebody wants to buy the device they can search for information and have a better idea of what they are getting into.

Unfortunately at the time I bought mine the information available was somehow biased towards people who think that is ok to spend 750 $ for a gadget that right away needs all sorts of non OEM twicks and upgrades to perform close to its marketing claims.

In any sector or product if one buys at the very top end of the price range should expect to end up with something that works well right away.

The TY TN II does not. HTC is a company with great potential but it should take a lot longer before releasing a product such this.

I belive that censorship does not help the people behind this site that are happy with the product either. My post is not off topic. They are first hand comments on the device from somebody that owns one, just like anybody else here.

Because of lack of unbiased information many people like me or even less prepared to mess with the device will buy it and up here nagging everyone else for help. Even for the silliest problems.

Let's be clear. This is a very niche product, HTC marketing pitch is misleading. It is not a piece of consumer goods suitable for the majority of people. It has to become a pet project for the buyer otherwise will not delivery to it's full potential.

I would suggest you put this thread in a very accessible location.

I am sorry if have hurt any TY TN II lovers

I suspect that a lot of people here see the device like their own baby.

Cheers
[Off-topic] olliric:
I don't want to get this thread to go on and on. The purpose of my post is to just offer an alternative perspective on the PDA. Without it, anybody that stumbles on this site may be lead to think that it is a great PDA. Indeed it is for people that are willing, knowledgeable and happy to mess with it. I don't think that the majority of people fit that category.

I believe that most people when they spend top dollars expect to buy a piece of equipment that works at its best right out of the box. After all PDAs and many other gadgets should make life easier not more complicated. That is something often forgotten.

Your appreciation of Active Sync sounds very odd to my engineering mind always appreciating things that work in a simple and logic manner. I'll comment on this one because is one of my "favorite" about the device and MS.

How can Active Sync be good if you have to install it in every computer you have to exchange data with (actually you can only install it on 2 PCs only!!). That to me is totally counter intuitive, user unfriendly and simply stupid. I should be able to roam the world and exchange data with any PC and Macs by just plugging in without having to install anything. That's what happens with most other gadgets cameras etc. How is it possible that a 750 $ device cannot do such elementary thing out of the box. It's simply unbelievable and as I said very odd to see that there are so many people that are totally fine with it and actually like the feature.

The TY TN II and any top end PDAs also cater to people like me that travel extensively and to different countries. How such elementary need to exchange data in a simple way can be overseen???

If I had know that such basic feature was not available I would never have bought the thing. The problem is that this any many other points about the device are some kind of dirty secrets that are not been told and were not available when I was about to buy the device.

Luckily I found Softick Card Export and solved the problem of accessing the PDA with any computer as if it was an external hard drive. I recommend it.

But again, after I spent 750 $ I should not have to buy and install non OEM software to download a file to a friend computer.

Come on guys, MS does not even pay you! You are paying them!
[Off-topic] olliric:
Mike,

I happen to be one of those Rolls Royce owners (I wish!) that's why I think I should have a say on this site. My views are counter current that's all. I don't feel undermined here despite being a totally "visible minority". If people were to get inflamed about it then there is always the almighty moderator that should straighten things out.

I still think my post does not belong to the off topic section because I think the view of somebody like myself can be beneficial to the majority here. I know that this could be difficult to acknowledge for somebody.

On the wake of the recent purchase and proud of my shiny new device, in the first 6 months of ownership of the Ty TN II I was like most other people here, reading, downloading, twicking. After a while I realized that what I was doing was going against the very reason I bought the device in the first place which was make my life easier and make me save time.

At that point and tired of the constant work that the machine demanded I gave up on it. I bought a new laptop and used the PDA like a phone and navigator only.

If I had found posts like mine before I would have made my natural progression earlier and I would have saved myself a lot of time and headaches.

I am sure there are other people in that position and they should be able to benefit from opinions like mine without having to Google them. To the hard core PDArers it should make no difference. I understand there is a pleasure in molding a machine to you own specification. I respect that; years ago I would have kept on doing it.

I hope you understand my plea and thanks for your work. I and many others did benefit from this great site.

Unfortunately I don't think that I can ethically contribute to the HTC or MS cause in a positive way. The fact that they created the need for a site like this is totally unacceptable.

I believe that it is wrong to offer volunteer work to greedy corporations that totally don't give a damn about their customer base. HTC and MS are clear examples.

I wish the talented work of people like XDA-developers will go towards developing software and service for no profit organizations and not to patch up the shortcomings and disservice of these corporations.

Bill Gates has become a philanthropist to wash his sins. I hope his example will be followed by all the other big fish in the corporate world.

So, you're saying that with any other phone you can just connect it to a PC and transfer all the data on the fly? Well, with nokias you can't, you have to install the huge nokia pc suite. At least active sync is only a few megs, so even with a slow connection you can still get it fast. And, i still think active sync is the best or at least the simplest way to synchronize contacts / appointments / notes and emails.

If you want to exchange files i would advice to forget active sync, use a micro sd card reader, it's much simpler and faster.

About your first post, i understand your frustration, but everyone here will tell you, including me, that any windows mobile device is way more powerfull than any nokia, iphone or blackberry. But even with those you still have to know how to use them.
[Off-topic] olliric:
In this day and age am I too demanding to expect to be able to read and exchange data with my PDA and any computer? The fact that the very little Softick card export software does it very easily shows that I am not asking much. There are no technological hurdles whatsoever. Why having to complicate things, switching off the device, pulling cards on and off, maybe damaging something in the process.

It is one of the features I needed right away and I don't think I am alone there. It should not take a great deal of imagination or creativity to figure this out. What are the HTC or MS designers been thinking?

I just don't see any good reasons for the lack of such basic features. The only reason I see is corporate greed that calls for gadgets and software that don't quite work so people keep on buying new ones.

We are a bunch of consumer cows being milked, I am afraid that's the sad reality.

The fact the the potential of a MS based PDA is greater than the competition does not make me feel any better. However, thanks for trying to help and for the kind words
