I've been browsing and searching this website all over to find some info on what would be a good shipped ROM for the Kaiser.
I know u guys r writing that everyone find his own way to setup the phone.
but Since it has the same hardware than I think there must be some good ROM version the people would recommend to use.
I know for sure that WM6.1 runs very very slow... (unless u have it otherwise).
I'm a real newbie to these thing and have no warranty to my phone so I don't want to mess with it much. So please help me out here.
Also how can check my phone to see if my currnet SPL is unlocked to flash and OS is coocked or shipped?
tnx

Yeah...basically what these guys said. Look it up.
People on here are glad to help but only after it is obvious you have tried to find the answer on your own.
Not again Please take the initiative to try ALL the ROMs out and choose which one you like best.
I've tried many of the latest roms like L26V12, Hyper Dragons III(HSUPA), ROMeOS4.5.1, DK SupaClean, KaiserMedia V2, NATF's ATT ROM, Garmin's DK3.1 and Final. I've found Garmin's DK3.1 and final are the best ones out there. I still need to tweak it a little like changing all the boot screen, animation, welcomeheah96, the radio and keyboard fix. After all that, I'm loving my phone again. Like everyone eles said: read, read, read, flash, flash, flash, play with it, play with it, play with it, find the one you like.

excatly what i did, went through 6 different ones in all (Duttys 6.1, ROMeOS etc) before finally settling on sleuths V3.0 as i felt it suited me more (and got my gps working!) the install/flash procedure was a doddle and everything happened as it should.
read the instructions on HardSPL, flashing roms etc and follow them to the letter!
you'll be flashing in no time! i cant belive how easy it was!
Redundant thread. Redundant thread. Redundant thread.
]first of i wanna thank all thoes who post here to assist niggas like me who far behind when it come to tecnology.i reviewed many forms and still dont understand how to do this. i had a behold and broke it puttin software on there so i dont wanna do it to my wing.i always considered myself an intelligent individual but when i started learning about this i felt dumb as homer(the simpsons).i need help. i will donate to whoever can put this in slow terms and help me step by step.i would like to install touch and 6.1 in not 6.5..i still dont know what im talkin about but ive seen the youtube videos an been fasinated with gettin them ever since.please assist me i will greatly appreaicate it u will .i just got my wing monday so i dont know if its even capiable of this upgrade but let me know..
A few notes:
1. This particular sub forum is for developing ROMs. There are two other subforums dedicated to "how-to's."
2. The videos in youtube are old, so you're probably looking at an older ROM, one of Ttra's OpenTouch ROMs, probably.
3. You need to research, learn and understand what SPL and IPL are. Then learn what HardSPL is. Then learn how to flash the Herald HardSPL into your phone assuming that your phone meets the requirements.
4. Follow my walkthrough that I made a long time ago to flash.
thanks

I've wrote a few guides. Do a search for "how to" and ivanmmj or "how to flash herald"
As far as the newest ROM, there are currently very few updated ROMs. JustStable (by me) is build 5.2.21042 and there is also a ROM based on 5.2.21040 right below this thread.
Hi guys,
Over at the HTC Hero forum I have been developing a kitchen to help ordinary people learn how to build their own ROM. It allows you to do basic things such as rooting a shipped ROM, adding apps2sd, modifying the task killer memory threshold, etc.
The appropriate settings are now in place to make it work for the Magic.
Here is the link to the kitchen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Before you flash your new custom ROM made from this kitchen, please make a Nandroid backup first of your existing ROM!
Thank you, and enjoy!
Just a question - is there a Wiki page which lists all the shipped ROMs available for the Magic? I couldn't find any on my own. I only found the ones at the htc.com site.
...
Hi man, i just want to thank you for your kitchen, i dont know a answer to your question
but i want to reserve this post,
my plan is to make a short instruction on how to port a rom from hero, using your kitchen... (hope its ok with you)
not a full how to, but som guidence... cause i am still learning and still making many misstakes...
But i am gonna try to make my best.
I DONT HAVE TIME TO MAKE IT NOW... LATER.

That's a good idea, and that also gives me another idea for the kitchen.
Usually when we port a ROM from another device, we just replace the other device's boot.img-kernel with our own device's boot.img-kernel. Although there may be issues with driver incompatibility, this is the general way to get the ROM booting. (Also you have to make sure you use the correct base address when using mkbootimg)
Wow
sorry it's off topic but damn good to see dsixda over here on android. I remember your roms from my diamond and elfin. Now i think a nexus one is my next device if you're cooking for em lol. As for the kitchen i think this is an amazing idea to get some more chefs in the game.

Hey man, I remember you ;-) The kitchen is working for Nexus One. However, I'm not cooking ROMs this time because public ROMs are too much work when you want to satisfy hundreds of people at once The kitchen will take the load off the cooks and also provide an enjoyable learning experience for people who want to customize a ROM the way they like it. We already have someone who has made a public ROM from this kitchen, and hopefully there will be more!
I am still looking for the downloadable shipped rom. hopefully it would be found soon. i looked on the htc site but i guess i am still lost. but thanks again for something great.
Sounds like fun. I'll try it out on myTouch 1.2

You can try this as well:
http://www.htc.com/www/support/magic.html
so with this one should be able to build roms from any rom to try make it work on your phone?

As long as they are Magic ROMs, then yes they should work.
ok so the base has to be magic for it to work, so in total it is to maske it easier to modify roms to your liking? no porting ect?

Yes you need a Magic ROM as your base. In theory it should work with any Magic ROM, but I'm not 100% familiar with all the variants of the HTC Magic so maybe there are incompatibilities?
I'll be working on porting ROMs later in the day.. I have to try the new porting scripts on my Hero first.
ok, i will give it a go when we can try porting a bit more fun working with android 2.1
i just noticed a problem with the T-Mobile myTouch 3G ROMs, as my script only looks for "HTC Magic" in the build.prop and not T-Mobile myTouch 3G... I'll get to fixing that soon. I'll check for "sapphire" instead, which is more generic.
Ok I have put up an update to the kitchen, version 0.24. This one should recognize all ROMs from all variants of the HTC Magic (e.g. T-Mobile myTouch 3G).
Also another option has been added, which will allow you to port a ROM from another Android device to your Magic (it will boot up but you may have to make some changes to get everything working properly, such as drivers). Has been tested on an HTC Hero.
so im a noob in the wm world im self taught a little bit. so im hoping someone out there can help a noob out and let me bounce ideas off you and ask technical questions. im getting ready to flash my first rom so prayers are welcome. anyway let me know if your willing to be asked tons of learning questions.
Good luck!
As long as you follow the instructions all should be fine
thats what ive been doing im doing fine but stuff like how to find what build of manila im running for instance
ok so i FINALLY figured out what manila i have (2.1). getting ready to flash my first rom and i found plenty of the. i finally found the one i like and cant find the download anywhere. Couldnt find downloads of any I liked actually. why is this so difficult to get the stupid file i want. if anyone knows were i may find it please give me a link to the download, not just some thread about it, i've almost given up completely.

Your going to have to be more specific. I found the download page but there are 2 versions for that specific rom. The difference is in the version of sense installed. One has sense 2.1, the other has 2.5. The page is here. I would suggest you look at the change log & support threads listed underneath the links for each rom in order to decide which is the one you wanted. They are both graphically (and probably functionally) different from each other but they are both windows 6.5. Hope this helps. Oh and by the way, welcome to XDA. Questions are always welcome here.
Hallo here in forum
today i want to flash my "new" htc tytn2. a friend gave it to me as present, because he had his new i-phone.
he told me, that he already flashed a few roms (from xda-dev) on the phone, so i think i can use the "Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)"-guide from STEP 5 to flash my new baby...... am i right ??
i mean i dont need to do the hardSPL-part, right ?
im just going to doublesheck a few things here, because i dont want to do no mistake.
then he told me, that i just should look witch is the most popular rom (i think he ment the thread with the most posts or clicks.)
i followed his hint and found the "HyperDragon IV Mega"-rom
but then takin a closer look i realised that the links to the rom are down:
"...Admin edit: links removed due to legal complaint from microsoft...."
hmm,....i know it is hard to say "witch is the best rom"...but can anyone give me his special tip.
i think it is not a good way to just take the rom with the most posts in the supportthread, because it is possible, that a rom just lunched and is better than olders,etc.
is there any thread with a list of most popular roms and a discussion about them ???
greetings revnu
105 views and noone has an idea ?
isnt there a list of all roms and a kind of ratingsystem to make it easier for someone to decide wich rom to try out ?

There is unwillingness to do any kind of rating, etc. out of respect for the chefs and their hard work, which is voluntarily done.
I know how it is to come to this scene for the first time. You've read the flashing guide. That's good. Take a look at the various offerings. Consider the features. Read the comments. There are a lot of excellent roms to try. Some are lite, so you can add features to your liking. (probably something you should try later after you become more familiar with the flashing scene) Some are loaded according to the cook's taste. After a few tryouts you might even become a flashing junkie.
Good Success!
ok i understand.
at time i have the black styluz mod. i dont know wich version, but i have to flash a new rom because my version have bugs.
im going to flash the black styluz v5 because i dont have a clue wich rom could be good
but i think there are a few roms out there wich a very popular, because they have win6,5 or other things.
okok i try to tell it in short:
I AM NOT ABLE TO DECIDE WICH ROM TO TAKE BECAUSE THEIR ARE TO MUCH AND THEY HAVE NO STRUKTURE
from my later experiences then flashing older phones i always found such thing is a "list of avabable roms".... is their such a threath ?
sry 4 bad english
"list of available roms" . . . For the most part, that is what this forum is. All Kaiser roms found on XDA are listed here, on a thread by thread basis. You mentioned bugs. . . You'll have problems on many if you don't flash to a stock rom first. Each cook offers the recommended procedure for flashing their rom. Their recommendations are worth following.
ur right....im sry
ill check few roms and decide ma own. till now i had experience with black stylus.
the error i had (could not send sms) was because of my handyprovider...
anyway i now flashed the newest black stylus (full) over the older sylus version......without flashing to a stock rom first. i read the instruktion on his site, but i think i missed the part...
Once you become a little more familiar with things it won't be so troublesome. I hope you will enjoy it. The ol' Kaiser is sinking into the sunset, but it is still a great phone, and many of these roms bring out the best this device has to offer.
Good success to you. . .
There are so many to try? It's good. You will not get bored by your phone!
First, read through the FAQ & Wiki. Even if you don't have to do unlock and HardSPL anymore..
It's very important to read more than do more in the beginning.
Enjoy your TyTn II. I use it as 'PC' and dial into my older SE M600i that acts as bluetooth modem. The reason is that I have bought data plan for that SIM card, and I don't want to swap my current SIM card on my working phone (TyTn II) to older phone, but want to use the internet update from that data plan. Tricky, but it works!
I don't know if any other platform can do the same.
