well i had thought if i unlocked my(Wizard g3)phone i could install it but apparently the dash is a smart phone and not a P.D.A and i get an error saying cant talk to my smart phone. >< guess i was wrong an to think it took me forever to unlock it and now i cant get Wm6 =(

you aren't paying attention very well...an official WM6 update won't be out for the MDA. it's only out for the dash. the dash is a smartphone. the MDA is a PPC. they are not compatible with each other. You are in the correct forum though to download unofficial WM6 ROMs. that's what I use for my MDA.

If you really want to download the official TMobile 2.26 from TMobile's site you can always do what I did before I found this forum... Check the TMobile customer forums and look at complaints... A lot of people post their phone numbers on there, just use one of those... works like a charm!

Sooo Wrong!

An idea for kitchen

I have a thougth:
Is it podsible to make a kitchen where we can drag & drop the cab files and then then kitchen makes the oem packages by itself so it's whole is autonated.
it's just an idea. Maybe somebody else had thought of that but i wanted to share this thougt with you all.

Everything is possible. The only issue is that each cab is made diffrently. What you are asking would take at least 6 months developement. And none of us do this as a permanent job, so it might take a year. Just wait. There are more ROM's and kitchens being released with more and more.

I think it's near impossible.
But be pacient, in a couple of days, everyone here will know how to dump, make packages, and rebuild using them Trust me
And of course , much more than that .

Actually, the idea of a fully automated kitchen doesn't seem so far fetched.
Back in the day when the HTC Wallabee was king, there were a number of kitchen web sites. These web sites would allow you to select your base ROM and from a wide selection of the freeware and commercial (reg key required) packages. During the process, it would keep track of total ROM size vs available ROM, so you could max out the ROM. When done, you hit build and then download your custom built ROM.
It was very cool. I must have flashed my Wallabee a dozen times or so before the screen got accidentally crushed, and I moved on to a different device.

Web-Based ROM Kitchen???
Now if only one of the more advanced cookers could do for the Wizard what LumpiStefans did for the Wallaby:

that really looks beautifull.

Nah one day I called up for my mothers MDA because of its malfunctioning with the battery, and my vol slider broke so the guy goes ill swap both of your mdas for a new Dash with wm6..I tell the guy I'd like a PPC he said if your phone doesnt work again in a few weeks we'll offer u a wing when released because its 7th time swaping my MDA since Jan wehn i got it.

Perhaps I might do the same thing too, but the Wallaby guys provided a really good example of the right way to deploy a kitchen whether it be for Wizard, Wing, Hermes, or whatever.
In fact, silly old me, when the first WM6 post went up about a kitchen, I was expecting to see a link to ROM fabrication web site rather than a toolset with many manual configuration options and seemingly much higher risk for the end user.

I have a brilliant idea... ok dont laugh please

alright guys, for those of u that have generic stock HTC? can like one or two of you pm me ur tytn s/n cuz HTC.com wont accept my AT&T 8925 one, im happy to post my stuff here too, but i got a feelin that if either me using one of ur s/n's or like one of u actually login to HTC.com can get the latest shipped roms no problem

HTC eClub doesn't list any downloads for the TyTN II on the page I get currently.

HTC eClub is only for non-branded devices and I am not sure, if someone will share SN for you...

thats coo thats coo if any of you have access to eclub cuz i have it for my artemis, and its a really nice windows mobile 6 image for it so i was hoping if it posts someone will post it for us... ill actually provide server space for it on my server i have unlimited bandwidth

eClub only allows one person to register with a particular SN so no one is likely to give you yours - it would mean they couldn't register themselves.
Most ROMs get reposted here anyway. For example the latest (actually at the moment only) TyTn II ROM is available already.

funny question lol... No AT-T branded device can register with HTC.com its that simple. You would have to go to AT-T for support. Don't worry about ROM upgrades you will find them here months before you see them any place else

Been visiting the htc.com eClub, there is nothing about Kaiser/TyTN II so far. Quite disappointed. Everytime I tried to click "Phone Software Update", I got "Select your PDA phone or smartphone model from the list. If your registered product is not listed, please check back next time as new patches are added regularly." But, there is no way I can select my PDA phone. HTC eClub is useless!!!! (of course, correct me if I am wrong)

Pretty simple answer - No official updates for the TyTn II have been released yet. There's only one ROM available, and it ships on the device. The only people who have a use for that particular ROM can't register on eClub anyway because they have Tilts or Vario IIIs and not TyTn IIs.

Where is the brilliant idea ?

Smartphone Newb Question

So I just got my tilt today. This is my first smartphone and I just had a couple questions before I start flashing roms and such.
If I flash the HTC factory ROM, is this a completely different operating system than wm6?
Do wm programs work on the HTC ROM?
I know I sound stupid but I have to start somewhere.

ey, man, wellcome...
The right place to start is "reading"... there are a lot of ussefull info in the Wiki ... take time to read and to understand what you are reading... when you'll be familiarized with terms and concepts, then you'll have many questions to do, and someone take time to help you, but for now you need read
Cheers.

Start Here
A good place to start is the Kaiser Wiki. Located right here on XDA.
As far as flashing different roms go, every rom currently available for the Kaiser (Tilt) are Windows Mobile 6 roms.
The only issues I have run into with installing programs is when the install CAB file is locked down to a particular device. This was common with the original installer of TomTom GPS floating around the site.
Since you are new to the game, as I was just 18 months ago, the biggest piece of advice I can give is this: Search the forum before asking questions. This is not to avoid flaming, although that may happen from time to time, but due to the high volume of posting on the site, it may take longer to get a response if you create a new topic as opposed to adding your question to an existing one.

Awww, you beat me to it...

Thanks
Thanks for the response, I have been reading a lot lately but sometimes it is really hard to move on because people used advanced terms which are hard to find the meaning to without reading for hours through forums.
Just flashed on the HTC ROM, works perfectly.
I have really been looking to get the TouchFLO working on my Tilt, is this a setting or a button? Or do I need to install something?

Go to the wiki (its at the top of every page, its called "XDA-Wiki" and go to the kaiser section and read up. Also, go to my Tilt thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341024
I would also like to take this time to say "I told you so" to all the people who didn't think the majority of people with newbie questions would be Tilt users, and chastised me for making a "Tilt-only" thread.

defense
well in defense of myself.... a tilt was only $300 with new service where if I bought the "TyTn II" which is the same thing without a camera on the front, which I dont need, I would have to pay upwards of $800.

also thanks a lot for the threads very helpful

Now with the HTC rom there of course is no telenav, now do I have to pay for the GPS service through AT&T and Pay $9.99 for the telenav, or could I just purchase tom tom6 and be done with it and not pay at&t $9.99 a month for the gps service? thanks in advance for the response

If you purchase TomTom, then you are done. No monthly fees associated with it.
As far as your TouchFLO question, you need to flash your Tilt to a rom that supports it. As you will learn from browsing this site, cooked roms are still very new for the Kaiser/Tilt, so there will only be a few available.
For a basic TouchFLO rom with high stability, I recommend AustinSync's BIGstorage rom. TeleNav will be missing from it, but you will be able to access all of AT&T's internal networks such as MEdia Net without issue.

just for terminology purposes, kaiser/tilt is a pocketpc, not a smartphone.

WM 6.1 Cunfusion

Can someone clarify the following please:
I just noticed some RSS feeds where MS has JUST announced the release of WM 6.1?? How is it we have this forum has had it for months now?
Also- this is my main question - in looking around the web at various video's of WM6.1 there is a new front end that looks pretty nice - how come I never see this on this forum?
Thanks!

same thing as how do people get music CDs before they come out...they get leaked out. and all these roms aren't official. there will probably never be an official copy for kaiser.
and that video is probably for smartphones. Our phones are PPC which contains professional version (touchscreen).

Q1: That's simple. The ROMs you see here are non-official/leaked.
Q2: There's are not so much changes in WM6.1 Professional, but WM6.1 Classic has a new interface/Today Screen.
That's what they show in a lot of videos.

No because Microsoft released wm 6 and 6.1 as a free upgrade. It is the job of your phone provider to port it to their hardware. But the people here cook up custom ROM. So they are just taking the place of the providers doing it.

Presumably though, the providers have signed an agreement to allow them to do this?
I'm just speculating and don't get me wrong, I'd hate to not be able to get hold of cooked roms but the legalities of it all is something thats been on my mind for a while now.

Kind of off topic, but you misspelled "confusion"
