Need suggestions...

I decided to unlock my tilt and put a different ROM on it to make it faster.
But I need some help here.
1st - I just backed up my device using the PPCPimBackup.exe program
2nd - I am about to unlock my tilt with HardSPLv1.
After that procedure what ROM version does everyone suggest for the Tilt?
I have been looking at the AT&T Tilt AKU.0.7.0 Cooked ROM. Just Because it’s a tilt ROM if that makes any difference.
Heres the link to it --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=338002
Does anyone disagree with this ROM?
I am basically looking for a ROM that is going to have TouchFlo scrolling and be clean of all that crap that slows down the tilt. But I would like to install the IM program back on and some other cabs I found on this great site (ie. HTC Home plugin and task manager Register Editor and some others).
ALSO when i do install another ROM version will the AT&T settings be correct for my account? For my data plan and all?
Thanks in advance!

Im pretty sure i unlocked it right it said it was completed.
BUT
Everytime i try and flash my phone i get an error 262 update error: saying it has failed. it doesnt get past 0%
i have tried 3 times... i guess i will try and unlock it again...

i'm using austinsync's big storage rom found here (the one under "Breaking News") and so far it works the best for me. i have an at&t tilt, did the same thing you're about to do/did and started with the htc ship rom. the htc rom was a large improvement from the at&t rom and out of curiousity rather than need i flashed all of the cooked rom variants floating around. helmi_c rom's are good but i found the tilt variant made my device sluggish. i haven't done any objective analysis but on my device any rom with ptt (push-to-talk: not-free, at&t wireless feature/add-on) i experience severe device lag. currently i'm running austinsync's big storage rom.

again, personally running austinsync's rom right now and looking at your list i can say this rom (austinsync's) fits all of your requirements except a registry editor but that's something you'll have to download on your own regardless; most rom's will not include a registry editor.

i don't know what settings might be correct for your specific account but most, if not all, of the cooked roms have a program called "Connection Setup" that will automatically install your setting settings based on your SIM/Network. the program runs after initial flash and you have to do is select "ok" or "yes" when prompted whether or not you want "Connection Setup" to automatically install your settings. i can't remember but the rom i'm running now does not have "Connection Setup" automatically run upon start-up. the program is installed just not set to automatically run, austinsync can correct me if i'm wrong. personally i like entering my settings manually or else via a cab i created but to each his own.

Awesome Info!!!
Thanks for your reply bud i will try that!

DiscoSmurf - i cant download from rapidshare already did today ... can you share it with me somehow? if not i guess ill wait

I second austinsync's Big Storage ROM... I've found on my Tilt it to be the best of what I want, and it's compeletely open for me to customize as I see fit. Very stable, does everything I want and it looks great out of the box.
Good luck!

i can update from rom to rom i take it right?

run Hard-SPL. double check it installed correctly by putting your phone in bootloader mode, which is done by:
-hold down the camera-button and the power-button simultaneously.
-stick stylus into the reset button-thingy
kind of tricky with the camera and power button on the same side but you'll see four horizontal bars colored red-green-blue-white from top to bottom when you do it right.
look to see that your SPL matches the following (the KAIS and CPLD are quasi-irrelevant):
KAIS
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD
if it matches, you can flash any of the Kaiser ROMS. if not, repeat by starting over and re-install Hard-SPL.

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure

Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.

** Bump **

I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.

*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!

Thx
Hi carlos,
thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.
Thx anyway for your great application.

well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more
all the icon show a black box
and I can't return to a functional version...
Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Today Screen - Am I being Stupid?

Hi there, I have attached a copy of what everyone says the screen looks like. Mine does not it is missing the whole of the top! Am i being stupid? How do I have it so that it looks as attached please?!?
Kind Regards,
Will

htc home. U have probably branded Polaris (ie o2 orbit2) search for htc home plugin

No I don't but thanks for such a quick reply.....
I bought the HTC non branded handset! I did not get it either..........
Kind Regards,
Will

Chech the Today menu for it, if it's not there do a Hard Reset...
If that still doesn't solve the problem you still can use the search option on the forum

Go to Start>Today>Items and tick HTC Home.
If your device is really HTC you should find it, otherwise you may have to go the "hard" way

O2 Stellar Windows Mobile 6.1 Sliding Home

Hi All,
I have recently downloaded and installed O2 official WM6.1 update to my Stellar, Build 19212.1.0.3. However i do not seem to have the sliding home screen as an option. Can someone please help.
I am also new to this and i have been reading some of the posts. Great site with superb help and advice.
Many Thanks

Unhappy O2 Customer
Myself and my partner also recently updated our roms on our O2 Xda stellar, The flash went well for both of us, it was the after effect of realising there is no sliding home screen with the O2 release of this rom.
Im going through every file on our phones trying to see if its just hidden?
but so far nothing has turned up.
If anyone has managed to find a way to enable the sliding home screen please will you get in contact with me and post it here for everyone please.
Thank you
Simon Tasker

Hello there
I understand that the sliding panel home screen is available on non-touch smartphonedevices, although you may read it as a realse component of WM6.1. Bad wording I guess as it is a little confusing.
Regards.

Thanks
Thank you for the fast reply,
I feel slightly cheated by this but hey thats the way it goes. it would be quiet difficult for it to work with the size of the screen on the stellar but it would still of being a nice addition.
Thank you again for the response.
Simon Tasker

Well, to be honest I replied to this as I too was wondering where this feature was.
But hey, look at it this way, you have not lost any features!
In fact, since I got my XDA Stellar in nov 07 I have been using SPB Pocket Plus which offers more flexibility than what I believe Slidin home offers. Check out the Tabs on which you can add any file, program or even a whole plugin as I have the HTC Home plugin.
I've not seen first hand what Sliding Panel is like but Im very satisfied with this set up on mine and maybe this is helpful for you in achieving the same flexibility of customisation and personal taste. All of what you see is just from Pocket plus being ticked in the today screen items collection list.

Ok stupid question as there doesn't seem to be a manual for this on the XDA site.
When installing this, does it over-write any files? ie am I going to have to re-install and re-configure all my software? I just want to know before I do this while away from a net connection.

Indeed...everything is wiped and all the data too.
I used SPB Backup which worked well in the end. I made a few mistakes during the restore process that made it much more of a time consuming headache than it should have been but I think I got back to where I want to be. Ringtone assignments and contact picture assignments were not restored but that may have been my error rather than the fault of the software.

The new ROM. On the O2 site it implies it won't nuke your stuff. Sure it says...
In order to ensure that important files and data do not go missing from your Xda during the software download process, please save them to your PC first before you begin. You'll then be able to reload them onto your device after the software download process is complete.

but that could be read as it might go tits up and break your files, but you'll otherwise be ok. It also doesn't mention 3rd party applications.

Whenever you flash a new ROM the handset gets formatted. Any data on the handset will be lost. If you want to keep anything, transfer it to the memory card first......

HTC Touch HD remove Telstra

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott

Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!

How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks

Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?

- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use

Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??

waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?

Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.
