[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
Okay so for Christmas I got the HTC Tilt 2 with WM6.5 on the AT&T network. Its a great phone but I want to make it better. Through some google searches and what not I found this site and knew i had to join anyway....

Okay so one think I am desperately looking for is a flash player, mainly so I can watch youtube videos. I tried Adobe Flash Lite but it didnt work and the youtube mobile app didn't work either. So anyway know of any good flash player?

Another thing is this is my first smart phone my last phone (some samsung thing) could barely call and text people :P so im still learning the ropes with this thing and have therefore never edited anything on my phone. So a basic description of like what exactly a ROM is and Flashing a ROM. Also is a skin for TF3D just a skin or is it like I guess what you call a ROM? Then the Radio I am almost sure when it says "Flash a Radio" its not talking about the FM AM kind is it?

Also I have seen some pretty sweet skins but I dont plan on changing my skin every week so I am looking for just an amazing skin! So if you know any sleek, modern, colorful, simplistic, clean skins a quick link would be great!

Bah! While I am asking all these questions can someone please explain why the HTC Tilt 2 (or any HTC phone for that matter) fall under the "Rhodium" category and what relation does it have to the phone.

Again just trying to familiarize myself with what I am doing before i do this so called "Flashing".

Also any basic info that may help a person like me.

Again thanks in advanced for the help looking forward to being more part of this community!

Congrats on getting the device. You'll either love it or hate it...

Re: Flash player

The new Pocket IE browser supports built in flash. I recall there's another browser that does as well, but I can't remember. Skyfire? Someone else should be able to come up with the name...

Re: definition of ROM and Radio

Suggest you to read about them in the wiki. ROM is your device's firmware. Radio is the software that controls your cellular reception and GPS.

Skin for TF3D does not equal ROM. Essentially it's a theme. Before installing themes, make sure the theme is made for your version of manila. But if it's a cab file, you can simply uninstall to reverse any changes.

Re: the name of your device

The Tilt2 is the same as HTC Touch Pro2. Rhodium is HTC's code name for this family of devices. The "Tilt" name is just AT&T's branding.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
So, I got this phone back in September. This was also my first smartphone. I read and read through all the tutorials here on ROMs, radios, flashing, and registry tweaks. The answers to the majority of your questions are in the FAQs/XDA-Wiki.

HTC YouTube App

: I think there's a fix available here on XDA. I think itt has something to do with editting the connection settings. You might want to search for that using the search function of the forum.

ROM (flashing)

: think of it as like upgrading your PC from XP to Vista or Vista to 7.;)

TF3D (aka Manila or Sense)

: a UI (user interface) it's sort of a skin on top of Windows Mobile. Since WM is old and appearance hasn't improved that much, HTC implemented this UI to cover up some flaws of WM.

Radio-ROM

: No, that's not the FM Radio. It's a software thing that handles the phone capabilities of the phone (the Tilt2 is a PDA/phone).

(Changing) Themes

: There's a lot of themes out there to suit our personalities! Go look!:p Besides, when you get addicted to flashing, you'll get used to changing things and setting things up over and over again!:cool:

Rhodium

: (I just completed a Chemistry course; I never knew this was an element on the Periodic Table!) HTC code name of the Touch Pro2 and Tilt2.

Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Like I said, it's also my first smartphone, and I would have to say I learned a lot since I first got it (pretty recently). So I would know what you're experiencing right now.

Yes, Skyfire has full flash support and is very fast because everything goes through SkyfireLab servers. However, video playback quality will be horrible (especially YouTube!).

I just remembered, if you go to m.youtube.com in Opera Mobile Browser and you press on a video, the video will play in the HTC Video Player. So, it's not really playing in the browser; it's like you're downloading the video into your Tilt2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
Ah ok cool. Yea I have skyfire I forgot it did flash but the resolution is a bit fuzzy. Pretty sure I will love it just as soon as I figure out what in the world im doing! Since I love customizing and tweaking things which is the main reason I didnt go with an iPhone that and the full QWERTY keyboard.

I guess I shall read the wiki/faq :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Welcome to forums

You had a great gift for Xmas!!

I assume you still have the stock ROM, which I personally think it´s crap...

I would recommend to install a cooked ROM from this great site!

Onalmost any cooked ROM you have the youtube app so you can see videos

Have a deep read on the Rhodium Wiki so you start to familiarize with all that you can do

Good luck and don´t forget to vote!

:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
Yea love the phone but yes I still have the Stock ROM (hey I know what I am talking about now!) yes it is crap. Not liking the fact that it constantly stays at 74% RAM.

Oh you just reminded me abotu another question of mine.

How do I get rid of all the freakin trail ware that came pre-loaded on this phone! I think I read in multiple places most good ROMS should get rid of that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
:eek: LOL I think every ROM here gets rid of that crapware!:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
Ok good because it keeps me up at night just knowing that its on my phone >:D

Ok cool just read the Wiki found a list of ROMs that look great >:D just 2 possible more questions

1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?

2) Just incase something goes horribly wrong is there a Hard Reset on the phone that

No matter what

the phone will go back to factory reset. Even after flashing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kenyaata:
There is a YouTube app included on the Tilt 2. It is hidden from the Start Menu by default. If you open File Manager and browse to the Windows directory, you will find YouTube there. Once you launch it for the first time, it should also be referenced in the Start Menu, or at least in the "All Programs" list option in the TF3D Programs tab. If not, you can easily COPY the youtube.lnk file from the Windows directory to Windows\Start Meny\Programs and it will show up.

The app is clean and tight, and supports the native controls of the phone (eg, the volume rocker controls volume).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
I cant seem to find it I browsed the programs list and there was no YouTube Program unless its called something else.

Anyway as posted abotu still have 2 questions:

1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?

2) Just incase something goes horribly wrong is there a Hard Reset on the phone that No matter what the phone will go back to factory reset. Even after flashing?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
1. If you have the .cabs of your apps, save them onto your PC (I have a designated folder for all my cabs, worth over 400MB!). After you flash, you're going to have to re-install them (automatically or manually, depending on if you use Sashimi, Sprite, Seven, or UC_setup [UC is only possible if it is supported by the ROM]).

2. If you flashed, your stock ROM has been overwritten, so if you hard reset, it will flash to the factory defaults that is in the flashed ROM. To go back to stock, you will need to flash back to the stock ROM, which you should find in the link posted in the above post.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StitchRokcs:
Oh ok thanks for all the answers :) appriciate it I think I might do it this weekend if i get the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] akashastrega:
First off, welcome.

Next before you do ANYTHING read then re-read any and all wiki's and tutorials on the Rhodium. Learn your device inside and out FIRST before attempting to make tweaks or rom changes. If you don't read then re-read, your Christmas present can become a pretty paperweight -aka- bricking your device.

pIE and Skyfire both have Flash capabilities.

The Rhodium IS cpabale of being used as a radio, but you need to install the right cab file...again read.

That being said, a radio usually refers to the part of the phone that receives a signal so you can use it as a phone. Don't mess with THAT radio until you have read and re-read the wiki's and tutorials.

Flashing a rom means to change your operating system to a "cooked" one...one made using a windows mobile base, but specially tweaked by someone here at xda. These cooked roms cannot be flashed without first unlocking your phone. Again READ or you can brick it. Also know that flashing a cooked rom has the potential to void any warranty you have...so back up your stock rom before attempting a rom flash. It is also good to have this back up in the event that you don't like a cooked rom you have installed.

There is a great thread that lists cab files to some really good applications, which will customize your device even more. You can also create your own ringtones, and tweak the device. Again, before any major installations or registry tweaks I strongly urge you to learn all you can first, by reading the wiki's and tutorials.

I have been with xda since my wizard came out a few years ago, and I have seen far too many eager "noobs" brick their devices.

I have only had my rhodium for a month. I am still learning my device. I still have a stock rom because I am not yet comfortable with my knowledge of the Rhodium. The stock rom blows by comparison to the cooked roms, but until I am comfortable with my device, I am happy to remain stock until I learn all I need to.

Once you learn your device, you will need to join Flashers Anonymous...because like most of us here, our phones become really fun toys with pretty much unlimited possiblities...so again, welcome...and read, read, read.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PJcastaldo:
OK, i know im prob going to be it with allot of search answers and what not but i searched and i cant find the answer i need.

So i have a mt3g and it is rooted, cyan recovery, stock radio and stock spl. I have the ability to flash what ever rom i want, every time i do it works fine to install it. I normally run Cyan and the m_blend theme, how ever recently i have been trying out different hero roms. As it turns out i really like these roms and what they have to offer, however the only one i can get running smoothly is a jac heroski rom that apparently is out dated. Every time i flash to something newer it flashes fine and for the most part every thing work, how ever when i hit home i just get a loadin screen for at least 30 sec... now when i search this it says to make changed to my partitions on my sd card, but i am NOT running a partitioned sd card. Is that the problem? i thought that was only necessary for space on the G1? Any ways i guess what im asking is why does every one say to flash your spl or the rom wont install but it does fine? and why is it run fast except to home screen??
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
yes it's the problem. partition your sd with at least 96mb of linux swap. it has the same ram as the G1. Also, post this in general next time.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PJcastaldo:
cool, thanx for the answer, how do i set that up? i searched for linx swap and came up with nothing?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] stian230:
Hi.

If you try Amon_RA recovery so you can do it from ther.

I would say that Amon_RA recovery is the best tool for flashing Rom`s.

If you have root and a terminal on your phone takes you to 2min after you've added recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2H.img on your sdcarde.

go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
actually he has the mt3g, so he needs the 1.5.2G, not the H recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r3s-rt:
make sure you back up your sdcard, though. its gonna erase everything on it to format it. (that caught me off guard, before. :p)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] PJcastaldo:
Thanks you guys rock... Now im looking for a good hero rom with all the working parts :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] r3s-rt:
i wouldn't go for a hero rom, personally. from what i hear they're unrelliable and slow. try cyanogens or dwangs. i say dwangs; i used it since 1.12 and only problem EVER was the random reboots which are now fixed.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tazz9690:
You heard wrong. Plenty of these roms that these devs have worked on are quite reliable and more than ready for everyday use. The only problem that I partially agree with you on is the speed. I wouldn't say it's slow. They are not as fast as Cyanogen or another stock rom, but it's not to a point where it's unbearable or you can't live with it. Some are actually pretty snappy if you have your phone set up right, you just gotta know how to tweak it for your phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] djflipnautikz:
Exactly what he said....I will just add my two cents, as i have been in your shoes before. I have tried alot of ROMS and my favorite Hero(actually magic sense) rom is Trojan Hero (by Eugene373). everyone has thier own opinion just letting you know if you havn't tried it.

Use Swapper to change your swapper settings and tweak them to your phone. my settings are as follows 128mb swap and 80 swappiness

And one MAJOR POINT i can't stress enough which i noticed a big difference was the memory card. it's a known to have a class 6 sd card but for new people we never really know.

Once i changed it it gave me a big boost.

hope that helps

4.Opening SMS from manila crashes manla,workaround use the default sms app

5.In call history from manila facebook updates crashes manila

6.Sometimes the device might not wake up from stand by, i still havent been able to fix this =[, tryed many different power modules but nothing.

you're not going to get 7 1/2 out of it with three partitions. Out of the box, with just the fat32, it probably doesn't even have 7 1/2 gigs usable on it. Most have like 7200mb.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] djsplitimage:
When you open the camcorder, just hit menu, from there you can adjust the resolution, if you want more control, hit settings and you can adjust either a time limit on the recording or you can adjust what the maximum size you can record to, I believe theres a 1mb limit on the size, those options are in the same menu just scroll up from no limit and towards the top you'll see the various sizes to set.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
See my problem with this is that I shoot several videos that I would like to keep the higher res on for, then later message them to someone. I have kids and the cell phone is usually a lot closer than the camcorder. ;) So I don't want to sacrifice quality.

And I don't think the size limit thing works because I have it set to 1 MB and I still can't sent stuff, 1 MB is the CDMA MMS limit I think.

thanks for the suggestion though.
