I'm considering switching to the HTC ROM sooner rather than later (to avoid having to reinstall everything I'm about to install/sync...)
As I see it the reasons to switch to the HTC ROM are:
Less bloat
Less "demoware" bloat
Is WorldCard Mobile in the ROM or on a seperate CD?
Less "pay AT&T more money to use this feature" bloat
Less bloat
Much nicer theme and home screen
Reasons not to switch:
Built-in IM client of the Tilt (How does it compare to IM+? If it's worse I'd be installing IM+ anyway...)
Anything else??? Is there anything the AT&T ROM has that the HTC rom does not that I'm not aware of?
The IM client is OZ communications - not bad. I believe the files you need are visibile in the \windows directory. I think the two you want are:
C_OZPocketPC
OZIM_HomePlug_20Jul07
I'm guessing these are AT&T specific so likely not to work on other carriers.
that aim client is available here...

not sure if it's just a demo or not but Sprite Backup is on the ATT ROM.
If you don't count Ms PacMan, that's pretty much the only useful difference that I saw.
So far no reason to stay. Good, since I now have the HTC rom going through the customization procedure since there was basically no feedback indicating I should stay.
Edit: WorldCard Mobile is in the ROM!
HTC ROM!
its faster, more memory, more everything, except junk!
I'm running the HTC ROM on my 8925 and am considering switching back.
HTC benefits
- Business card scanner
- less bloat
- remap PTT button (can be done on ATT with regedit)
- HTC Today plugin (can be installed on ATT anyway)
- No embarrassing WHOOSH on startup
- TouchFlo!!!
ATT advantages
- more games (i think, unless those are demos that came with it)
- No GPS 'bootstrap' required. I found that with ATT ROM, I could
run any GPS app and it worked. With the HTC ROM, I had to first
run GPSViewer to initialize the GPS before any other app would work.
If I didn't do that first, GoogleMaps would report no GPS hardware detected.
This is why I'm considering switching back to ATT. AFAIK, nobody else
has reported this so perhaps it's just my unit.
Really the ONLY big thing I liked about the HTC was the business card scanner application. OH!! I forgot TouchFlo on the HTC ROM. That's pretty killer as well.
Sorry if it sounds n00bish since it's been a while since my last HTC device, and I'm planning on picking up a Tilt shortly...
Are the customizations hardwired in ROM or the Extended ROM that we used to modify and customize with our own CABs? I'm thinking if it's the latter, we'd just pull out files from both to build our own setup of what we like.

I don't have to do that...
Google Maps will load the GPS, but it will usually timeout the first time while it is acquiring a lock. Hit retry and then you should get a lock fast.
I'm actually getting better success and faster locks with the HTC ROM than with the Tilt ROM...

good to know. the camera GPS (After enabled via registry) also worked without 'bootstrapping'.
Tilt with TouchFLO or not?
There seems to be a big discrepancy with people that have the Tilt saying that they do not think they have the TouchFLO feature. Is there a difference between the HTC ROM and ATT Tilt ROM for TOuchFLO? Anyone have experience with both?

Is TeleNav necessary to uuse GPS function?
Just bought a tilt online via business account. I signed up for TeleNav because I was under the impression that this was needed for GPS function. Reading some of the above info, it seems that all I need is Google maps or the equivalent. Is that true?

you do not need telenav, though it might be better than google maps. you can use any gps software on the phone.

No cube on the HTC either, so it sounds like it's the same. There is a flash based cube one can install, but it slows down the phone too much.

as im downloading this att rom my anti-virus ( avast) say's there is a trojan virus in it. is this normal?
i was using the first cook room...but i decided to jump being that i have the tilt. i must say...this sht is fast as all hell...didnt think it could be any faster than before. one thing though....the app that scans business cards. Is it possiable to have that in a cab? thats the one thing i miss from the old rom. other than, this one feels like a winner.

Can i install this on my unbranded Kaiser ?
Well, i know i CAN, but should i ?
I noticed the OS is newer than helmi's kaiser 0.7.0, so i would like this one, if there are no problems...
thanks mc. this is another solid room.
i got a bug. while in messaging (email or text) i cannot see the pictures of the people who send the message. i can see just a little bit of it, but most of it is showing off the screen. almost as if i was using an app made for vga on a non vga device. anyone else notice this?
edit:
okay so when this happens....slide the keyboard out...then close it...and the message returns to its normal format with the pic fully viewable. any thoughts?
whoa....i just pushed the mail button on the front the phone reset itself...hmmmm

Helmi,
Any chance of you making a Dynamic + BigStorage ROM out of this?
I could install all the AT&T cabs I need, but then I also don't want PTT or HTC Task Manager... Plus, from your HTC ROMs with the same build and kernel, the Dynamic ones seem to be the most stable and quickest to me.
Thanks in advance and for what you've done up to now anyway. Really apreciate the work you put into this. Donation will soon follow (and that's not a bribe).

didn't experience this, tried to re-create by:
-hitting the mail soft key after boot from initial flash
-power-down/power-up then press mail key once today screen loads
-hard reset
-after today screen loads from reboot hit mail key
-power down/power up and then hit mail key
everytime the messaging applet open......
maybe i'm doing something wrong.
rom runs great and possibly even fixed a past issue....
i have an at&t tilt that i purchased from an at&t coporate store on the day of the US release.
i hard-spl'd the day hard-spl was released to shed that god awfull thinguhmabob at&t had on this phone that was more like TnT on Tilt.
proceeded to flash the htc ship rom and somewhere inbetween a pixel died right above the "m" in smart mobility.
the pavarotti pixel was evident on every subsequent boot as well as opening any non-white variant background page/app.
since flashing this rom that that dead pixel is johnny alive.
i know this rom fixed the dead pixel because after flashing every kaiser rom/cooked-rom on xda the dead pixel remained, um, well dead.
the the at&t rom to me felt more like a caveman trying to use a stick, on a rock, to draw a buffalo with some headless stick people dancing around doing the caveman robot.
i have experienced no issues yet but as with most self-reports, this is subjective.
Edit (oct-19-2007 1:34p cst):
after some 12 hours of use, the phone (or screen input), has become unresponsive similar to the at&t rom. unresponsive meaning; i am on the today screen and click start-settings. the transition to the settings menu is quick but once i arrive to the settings menu the screen freezes (or rather any stylus inputs are delayed by 2-3 seconds if even received). to me it seems like the device is polling something like the sd card or ptt (only roms i've experienced this on have been with ptt) but my gut could be off as i'm late for lunch and my gut is hungry.
having said this, this rom, for me, is somewhat un-usable. i have hard re-setted 3x now in attempt to correct said lag but lag wins. in between the 1st and 2nd hr's i loaded up pocket + 4.0, resco explorer 6.16, resco registry, resco ftp. did a hard reset once the device started to lag with said software installed. currently i have no apps installed and still experience extremem lag on just cooked-stock-default settings/apps. going back to htc ship.
-ds
I'm anxious to install this on my Tilt -
A couple of questions -
1) Which dialpad is it using? The same as on the original AT&T ROM, or the Eten dialer that has been packaged with the other Kaiser ROMs?
2) Any guess if TomTom 6.032 will work with this one (assuming I already had it working on my Tilt with a Kaiser ROM)?
3) Safe to assume that, since this a Tilt package, there's no need to install the keyboard remapping hack (or manually configure data connections)?
Also - I haven't seen any chatter about this in a (short) while - Do you notice any improvement on this ROM (or any other for that matter) with the tinny/distant sound of bluetooth headsets?
Thanks so much for your hard work on this!!!!!!!!!!
AMG
is this rom running significantly faster than the htc 070 rom? i mean is it worth it to jump ship again, and install everything again? or people just want this rom for the storage
i very highly doubt a signifgant change in speed because there is no signifigant change in the rom....it's probably a user opinion kind of thing....only way to prove is benchmark...but most likely nothing worth spending 1 hr of software setup blah blah

I don't have a kaiser so I can't take screens. You can refer to the ones in my non-touch thread, the only differences would be the addition of the touch applications and cube.

It is for the kaiser, it is titled Touch because of the Touch Cube interface.
Well it is definately fast. I could tell right away. However it doesnt work for me on my phone because im using GSM Radio: 1.27.14.09. So no audio on phone calls.
Also you list Touch Cube as being installed, but I couldnt get it to work. I did all the finger motions. Unless you are refering to the HTC Home app with the large clock.
So I need to find out how to down grade my radio, or go back to my last ROM.
Edit: I cant seem to get any audio at all. MP3s included. Might be related to my radio version?

Wooohooo. That'd be awesome!
I've tried all different types of ROM and I noticed that they drain batteries LOT faster than the stock AT&T ROM. I'm on US AT&T/3G/ActiveSync on. With AT&T ROMs, it lasts about 2 days of use? With any ROMS here I've tried (yours, Dutty's, etc.) I've noticed that it barely lasts a day.
I've read here and there that the radio 1.27.14.09 fixes lot of that battery problem so I upgraded. I do notice at least that the reception is better...but I can't really test the battery since I can't use any cooked ROMs with 14.09 -- I get no audio at all... If you can release your ROM based on 14.09, it'd make my day. I'd love to test it!

Two minor issues I've noticed.
The HTC Home application cannot be customized. In other versions I've tried you can go under Settings > Today > Items > HTC Home > Options... and remove some of the tabs on it. However this version has the Options... key grayed out.
Also I can't find out how to disable the start menu click sound.
Does anyone know if any of the beta testers for the ATT Fuze have received any rom updates for their devices? Was at Best Buy Mobile this weekend and me and the regional manager (I think the regional manager) were talking... Tilt has been officially "discontinued", and then he reached into his pocket and pulled out his Fuze.
Played dumb, pretending not knowing what it was and got the whole spiel about how its the tilt replacement... due out in 2 months but buggy. Said hes spoke with att and is expecting a new rom for it by next week which he said should "unlock additional features". Any idea what those could be? Saw the push to talk button, H icon (Albany has rolled out their HSDPA), no front camera, no FM radio.... interface seemed slick but he said it needs to be reset every night or runs like crap. Said he plans on sticking to his Blackberry world edition....

Take a look in the wiki dude, theres two ROMs signed for AT&T/Cingular and one of them seems newer than the official touch pro ROMs currently in use, also might have a radio update.
So the fuze was using 3G/HSPA ok then?
I wasn't sure if they were for the 100 or 110... was there any new features added in those roms?

New features I could think of are things that I've already added (thanks a lot in part to sub69)... FM Radio, TV Out were not supported in the current ROM. G sensor calibration tool also wasn't there (thanks Schaps)... Little things like that.
Did he say what was "buggy" with his? I'm yet to see a problem that hasn't been fixed with a reg edit or simple cab, and I've had the thing for 2 weeks now. Did he seem like the type person that would investigate something and try to tweak it, or just stick with it out of the box?
Edit, just read the post through fully this time heh... Not sure what's up with his device, but even fresh out of the box I didn't have those issues.

the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...
any other recommendations pertaining to the tp2 would be greatly appreciated

Google maps worked automatically. It's been raining here, and I didn't want to stand out in the rain waiting for it to get a sattelite lock so I used QuickGPS. After it downloaded data, GMaps found the sats in less than 10 seconds and found my location very accurately.

I'm not sure. It was raining Saturday when the phone was delivered. I stood outside for a minute, and it hadn't found a GPS lock yet. Once I used QuickGPS it locked on in a few seconds. I haven't used the GPS since then since my battery was draining fast enough from just normal use.
I got a lock right away with Google Maps with no third party priming software. I just had to set Google Maps manually to com4, baud rate 4800 and then enable GPS all the time instead of just with 911 and it locked on in about 3 seconds. Gonna test Garmin & Tomtom this afternoon to see if it needs the same manual setup.
the verizon tp2 has an app call quickgps that downloads updates to the gps...after i downloaded, ive been geting up to 15 satellites and instant locks....highly recommend this to anyone before changing any settings

my previous phone(vogue on verizon) had the gps locked so i never had this program. i was (at best) getting 5-6 satellites. after i updated my tp2 with this htc app i get around 12 which was a total shocker. i'm just so happy with this phone, now just waiting for some rom development to rise from the dead...lol

Yes, I too had an original HTC TPwith a lot of the same programs. Will they run on the TP2? I think the htorch may not as the TP2 doesn't have a flash for the camera.
Thanks - K
Maps and S2U2
Google Maps worked fine for me today with the GPS ( did use the QuickGPS first, very simple though). Found up to 10 Satellites that I noticed. Just loaded S2U2 1.62 QVGA and it loaded fine. Seems to work after the reboot. Looks like the sizing may be a little off though.
txyaloo and quick gps
Ive been trying to find the Quick gps cab that would work for tp2
txyaloo could you maybe post it or tell me where you got it

the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...
any other recommendations pertaining to the tp2 would be greatly appreciated

htorch won't do anything since TP2 doesn't have flash
s2u2 works
I use cleanRAM instead of clear temp
don't use diamond tf3d config
I use HD Tweak instead of Diamond Tweak since it's a bigger screen
Youtube should come stock on the verizon version
GPS is already unlocked and VZW version i think came stock with Bing but I may have installed it seperately
I currently have on my VZW Touch Pro2:
Bing
ContactFix
Display Switch
G-Alarm
HD Tweak
MP3 Trimmer
Pocket Uno (;
S2U2
Total Commander
cleanRAM
psShutXP
and I can confirm all these work
I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?
NRG (aka EnergyRom) is probably the most popular ROM, i've been using it in various iterations since 12/09. It works well though Sprint picture mail can be problematic at times and I've been unable to disable HTC's texting/sms app (It can be ridiculously slow when you have a long conversation). 6.5 is a little more touch friendly than 6.1 but it's not a huge change. I use NRG's rom with sensity and CHT v2.0(cookie home tab which increases home screen flexibility). XDAndroid is also very nice (I'll switch permanently once they get the headphones working)
I have used nrg rom and have currently been using the superrom.
It's bare-bones and very fast. I had to add some of the .cab's that
i wanted but they are really easy to find. Phone has only frozen
on me like once and i have a large amount of text messages stored
on the phone.

Like i freezes on texts, will if freeze if I write emails on the web? Like on a forum post I may want to reply using my phone, but my reply will be long; will it freeze that way?

I have tried about 15 already and have just decided 'Mighty Rom' will be sticking around. Very fast and stable it seems.

I hope it doesn't have the same flaws as energy rom. I think I will stick with the stock Rom first. Can you list me any internet, text, calling, landscape mode, sensors, physical keyboard etc. any other possible flaws it may have? Is it wm 6.1 or 6.5 layout?
Can you link me to the most up to date mighty rom thread and original maker?
The HTC messaging problem and sprint picture mail problems aren't ROM specific. HTC messaging can take 20+ seconds to load when you've got a ton of messages(it doesn't affect the web browser or email), you can bypass this by clicking all messages before replying to a new text (this opens the default text client rather than the HTC one). There are fixes that are supposed to bypass HTC messaging entirely but they don't seem to work.
The sprint picture mail problem is due to sprint picture mail not really sending pictures but instead links to pictures (you have to install arcsoft messaging and some other files to make it work). Sharky's rom may not have this problem (since it was developed specifically for sprint) but pretty much any other custom rom will.
Sounds like you already got your answer! Try my ROM Check my sig. for my PPC Geeks thread. Seeing as how that site is more geared to CDMA, that's where all my ROM action is.
Are there any other roms that are made for Sprint winmo 6.5?
How much memory RAM does your rom have on boot up sharky?
I just today noticed on stock I am unable to send/ receive text messages but can call and browse the internet. Problem happened after a few installs like flash lite, nfs shift, resco explorer, and maybe sktools cleanup has ran and broke it. So I plan on moving on to a custom rom.
Do any custom roms change radio? Because I HOPE NOT. I don't want an SAR change lol. SAR level change will be bad.
in refferance to sktools clean up.......you have to be carefull what you delete esspecially in the invalid registory entries and values mode......i usualy leave that alone unless i no for sure what i am deleting wont affect the phone.....and also just go to your file explorer/mydocuments/regsrybkp and restore what was deleted....
I couldn't find registry backup anywhere.
got your reply my friend..get back to you in a few hours...
ok...i am no expert...ther are a lot of smart guys in this forum when it comes to ppc's...thumbs up to them...what i no about this is experience because i have deleted 100 things before i learned...i no that if you use the registry cleaner in sktools it will tell you that things are invalid and so on....when they are actually valid....why, i dont no...but first check to see if back up deleted entries is selected to yes.....in your sktools program under tools menu go to settings...then scroll to invalid registry entries and at the bottom of that list you will find that option...the same for invalid registry values...if they both are yes then everything you deleted should be in your files program under 'registrybkp'....mine is under 'mydocuments'/'registrybkp'.....and if the deleted entries are there just tap on each one and they should automatically restore...and last, if for some reason you dont have any backups then a hard reset would be my advice to you.....i hope that helped .....good luck and just keep going by trial and error!
MR.X ROM! is super fast but you cant send picture mails

I'm not allowed yet to post outside links, so you'll have to search Howard forums for this:
Touch-Pro2-Tips-Tricks-amp-Registery-Modifications
I have maybe a dumb question. What does a cooked ROM give me, more functionality and features or just cosmetic modifications?
Thanks
All of the above. More stability as well. Phone rarely freezes to the point where it needs a hard reset and also no screen of deaths.

Is there any way I could get manual or at least a list of features for each ROM?
It's either on the rom forum page or you check the rom out yourself. Usually the original poster in the first post will list a list of features and give pictures for their rom. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and don't forget to thank me if I helped.
