So i purchased my tilt and it came with the AT&T Win Mo 6 on it, I had a few problems with it and AT&T replaced my phone with one that has Win Mo 6.1, with the new one i am noticing some program compatibility issues and various other ANOYING glitches. Will the TyTAN II Rom from HTC's support site install on my phone with out a problem, is it better, and what are the differences between HTC's ROM and AT&T's? Also does anyone know how to speed up the screen switch time when i open and close it?
Well unfortunately i havent much experience with AT&T, but the manufacturers roms(HTC) will always be better than a Network branded rom. You should be able to flash it, ive flashed the original rom that my HTC TyTN II originally shipped with, saying that i did install HardSPL before i flashed anything, currently im running winmo 6.5 by TPC, Read the rom development stickies for more help, sorry if i havent helped much, im sure someone who knows will help you, by the way you shouldnt have posted this in the rom development section, it should be in the discussions section.
srry i miss posted ill repost. ty for that tid bit
There is a reason why people come to the forums. We all know that the ATT Roms are over bloated and just plain suck. Thanks to the wonderful chefs here, the Tilt has seen greater roms and functionality. Try flashing some new roms. PDA corner is fairly fast and fun. Experiment and see what fits you best.

Sorry for simple question, newbie here. Is there a concensus on the best ROM to update the TyTN II (US Version). I am having trouble deciphering all the threads. Is the HTC "factory" ROM best option? Thanks for any advice offered.

It all depends on what you are looking for. There are tons of ROMs for that device. Dutty's Touchflo is really good if you want that type of interface. The problem with the original ROM is it isn't optimized very well, could be faster and there are others out there that are. You should be lucky you dont have the Tilt, that ROM from AT&T is the slowest I have had on the device. I am looking at one that is fast and comes with as little as possible, but still allows for lots to be added, for instance I like Dutty's Touchflo but I would like to have a clean one with nothing but the basics then add the stuff myself that I want. (touchflo so far doesn't have a cab installer).
I found about 5 more ROMs that I wanna try out before I decide on just settling for one (for now).
Tilt
The TyTN II is the Tilt, isn't it? I have the Tilt.
The TyTN II and the Tilt/8925 are variants of the HTC Kaiser. Different models, but very similar.
TYTN II have the front camera, tilt doesn't.
That's the only noticeable difference (aside from different coloured keyboard).
Another difference is the way the radio is implemented into the Tilt on the latest ROM. The Tilt Radio does not work with the TyTN II ROM, but the Tilt ROM works with the TyTN II Radio. Not to confuse you or anything.

Don't worry about the Tilt/TyTN II differences. Just read through the discussion thread for each ROM releases and decide which one fits you better. I went through HelmiC's BigStorage, Kyphur's XDA-Live 1.0, and now I have finally settled with Dutty's Hybrid No.4 Lite version. I ditched Helmi's because it was outdated. XDA-Live was very problematic for me but ran awesome. No.4 Lite has been great so far with no problems. *knock on wood* So, it's pretty much a trail-and-error kind of deal. Try and decide on which one to keep.
another newbie with the same question. Flashing is a pain when you first start, but you gotta get use to it. Some of us flash our phones twice a week. Play around with your stock phone and figure what apps you like. Then find a rom that seems close to it. Then flash it. Otherwise, if you are afraid to flash, stick with the stock.
After flashing half a dozen roms I have settled on the latest ATT Tilt rom without the customizations and the device is overall more stable and usable than ever, plus no need to CID unlock...bonus.

Thanks. I just called AT&T and told them I was going to Europe and that I needed my phone unlocked. They sent code in an hour, so it's unlocked anyway!

CID Unlock and Sim Unlock are 2 different things
Back on topic:
If you're after the Touch interface, go with Dutty's Touch Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344351
If you want something that's not too far removed from the stock HTC, but with some bugs fixed and other improvements, go with Sleuth:

I'm currently running Dutty's Hybrid Test Final RTM, from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341879
It's the best mix of speed, apps, and stability I've found.
If you want a starting point, try that. But be warned: rom flashing is an addictive pursuit. Once you start, there'll always be that nagging feeling that the next rom is better, or that someone else's rom has features you need.
Good luck!
You should really refer to the Wiki first before you do any flashing.

I would highly recommend doing a CID unlock & Flash and ROM on your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
If you have a TyTN II I would suggest using Dutty's ToucFlo Final ROM.

If you have a At&t Tilt I would suggest using Dutty's TouchFlo Tilt Beta ROM.

English verison Rom HTC tilt HTC TyTn 11
Hello, I'm working in Russia, i bught the above here in msocw, but the rm is Russian version, Where can i ger an English (european) rom version?
I would really be greatful for some assistance..
Thank you
Just remember, when CID unlocking your device to flash cooked roms, there will be more of a process reverting to an ATT rom, if the need arises i.e. return, or warranty issues.
By starting off with an official ATT rom, there is no need to use HardSPL and like I previously mentioned, restarting before ATT custoimizations initiate leaves you with a speedy, reliable, full featured rom that is a lot better than the fully bloated, initial ATT release (radio is worlds better in the new one)
Then, you can always CID unlock and flash again later to a cooked rom if you wish. This could be considered a baby step to customizing and is a safe way to go.
My biggest gripe with a lot of the cooked roms, especially ones based on the HTC factory build is that they are not oiptimized for the tilt and have superflous features that I don't need/want.
Just my 2 pennies.
Maybe we need a upgrade guide like MrVanx made for the hermes.

Best ROM
I have tried all of them but IMHO gullum touch rom beta 2 is the best rom in terms of speed, features, stability etc etc.... I can go on an on ......... I would strongly recommend to at least try it once.

How does the cube work on Gullum's ROM...I have no complaints with Dutty's TouchFLO Tilt BETA
I do not think Gullum includes the cube. Maybe someone that actually runs it can chime in.
Greetings. I'm so glad I've found this forum, I've been reading and learning a lot. I have a Tilt and love it. Stock WM 6.1 rom, "clean" no bloatware install. I'd like to upgrade it using Dutty's rom, my question is what is the main number one advantage to doing so?
I'm pretty happy using SPB Mobile 3, having switched from Point UI, SPB Mobile 2 before that, M2D before that, and the phone is reasonably fast. Are other roms noticeably faster? That would be my main reason for changing roms. Sorry if this is a noob question but I have been reading a lot and only find a few references to speed in new roms. Thanks for any help.
The beauty of this community is the diversity of customizations which includes all the cooked roms available to us.
Windows mobile (in my view) would be no where without all the hacks/tweaks/customizations that this forum brings to us.
Now you ask the benefit to flashing custom roms?
Basicly it allows you to transform your device/phone to how you want it to the tee! Each rom has its pros and cons. I personally use Abusalza's roms as they are really snappy and have many useful apps included.
Duttys roms are great as well. I want to say one of dutty's roms is the best i've ever put on my device but he hasn't made a rom recently for the kaiser so its kind of outdated and i need to have the latest and best running on my device )
Its not that hard to flash a rom and check it out for a couple hours to see if you like it or not so go ahead and expirement with different roms!
Also reading is key! i'm pretty confident in saying any trouble you run into has already stumped someone else before and there is a solution. As you search and read to solve your own problems it will expand you knowledge which enables you to help someone else on this community making you a valueable member!
Just make sure you check out this thread and when bored, read through the wiki.
It's just fun! I am a flash junkie ...thats why I flash all the time!
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your answers. The fun part has grabbed me as well, I really want to try it but have to go through the unlock business first I guess.
Dutty's last rom was from over a year ago, you may want to look into something newer, ROM's have changed a bit since then.
Yes, a new rom will significantly improve your phone's speed, functionality and if you install a newer radio as well will even improve your phone's battery life, reception, media playback and your camera's functionality.
Read this guide before installing your first rom as you'll need to install a hardspl before you do a rom install...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
My personal recommendation for you is to install this rom (Abusalza's PDACorner X4)...
AT&T Tilt Rom - http://www.ponack.net/abusalza/Ultimate-X.V4.Lite-S.2G.rar
Upgrade to a newer radio and install SPB Mobile Shell 3 and iGO(you can get it from torrents) after you install the rom.
It's the perfect combination.
I'm sure others will recommend a few additional programs to install on top of that as well.
Thanks, I've been thinking about the WM 6.5 roms....
Hey Guys
Hey Guys,
Closing thread in an effort to keep threads clean and uncluttered.
Rom flashing is all personal preference which you will discover once you begin flashing roms to find the perfect one for you. a new thread is not needed on this subject.
Peace and take care,

i just started browsing this site a few days and am very impressed with the whole community..
anyway, i just swapped out my samsung epix for an htc fuze and love the phone so far. I've already succesfully removed the at&t tab, fixed the small mms issue, and changed the default device.home.
thats apperently the the tip of the iceberg as far as customizing this phone goes. I am now interested in a different rom. I've noticed a lot of good things about the energyrom 2.0/3.0 and am very interested but also hesitant to flash my phone since i only just got it and dont want to void any warranties.
my quesions;
1. whats the latest energyrom 2.0 build? (maybe give me a dl link)
2. does the rom come with a bunch of apps im not gonna use?
3. Do i need to flash the radio before/after the rom or at all?
4. and which radio is best?
tia, im looking forward to learning more as this phone will do until i get the touch pro 2 or whatever comes next.
edit: i do realize there is a wiki and have been studying it, i've also seen the rom flashing for noobs section and have a rough idea that hardspl is a failsafe should anything go wrong
I'm just going to say that you need to find the answers to your own questions.
Start here.

Welcome to forums
Energy ROM is great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751
im still iffy on going to a 6.5 rom cause i guess its still a beta version on winmo (i think) so i was more thinkin on 6.1, i dont need newest just something different from stock but stable as well.
i was lookin at this list (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_Cooked_WM6.1_ROMs) and noticed energyrom 2.0 build 41609 was the newest but the thread link doesnt work.
i clicked the energyrom 1.0 build 32609 thread link and it brought me to a thread for energyrom 1.0 build 41609.....is that the same as energyrom 2.0 build 41609?
i also looked around and noticed the radio is untouched with just a rom flash so ill leave that alone for now. thank you for showing me how to use google anyway.
I am using 6.5 EnergyROM. It's very stable. Try it. The radio in my signature really works well in Northern California.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751
aight, i think i will. thanks again for the info.
i flashed the rom to the energy 6.5 rom and am pretty amazed at people are willing to do for free. now ive only messed with it for about an hour but am loving it.
the only thing im worried about is how high the memory usage will go and how the battery life is affected..
I receive my replacement TP2 tomorrow for Verizon's network. Just wondering what the Verizon TP2 users feel is the best/stable rom. I know everyone's opinion is different, but I'll go with the majority for my TP2. Thanks in advance for your comments.
just be sure not to use one from the GSM forum (this one)
Use the Rhodium CDMA section
I'm also interested in this.
I want to try a rom, but only one that is stable as if it came officially and fast smooth UI too of course. But I've no idea which one would fit the bill. Same I think as the OP is looking for.
It'd be nice to have a stock 6.5 os rom to try and then it'd be neat to have another with added UI manilla or whatever that is or whatever HTC has done to their UI. Also a rom with the Sense UI on it would rock. I'd even like to try that.
I've been using SSK 3.0 for the past 3 or 4 days, and it's fast, reliable, has sense ui, and hasn't had a single problem so far.
I'd reccommend it on the Verizon tp2.
Just make sure you get the Verizon keyboard fix cab, also.
Does the SSK have the MMS issue like the Juicy rom??
Well, I'm using mine on Sprint, and I've no issues in or out with mms.
I actually just got one right after I read that lol

Im using SSK 3.0. He is making an update to his rom for this weekend. It has been working great. He has added some new apps and utilities to the WinMo 6.5 Rom. I like it and will probably stick with his roms. Ive used them through the TP and TP2.
I use both Mighty Roms and Energy Roms and they both work great.

I agree... the SSK roms are great and he supports them very well through his website...
www.sskusers.net
I've had his ROMs way back on my verizon xv6800... my current TP... and I'll use his ROMs on my new TP2 that FexEx says should arrive in the mail tomorrow
what about roms that just work? no need to install anything extra to make it work?
Might ROM for me!
Energy Leo... the best
Calk's Kitchen works without anything additional installed and gives you the option to pick from 5 builds, and it's a KITCHEN!
I seem to hear a lot of good of SSK ROM's. Does SSK ROM fix anything on the TP2? What are the known issues with it so far? SSK website doesn't list issues, just what is included. I would be interested in knowing if any of the usb modem or internet sharing problems have been fixed. I know, I have been through this in another thread, I'm just a little strapped for cash when it comes to having to buy wifi hardware. I'd rather have the usb method working if possible.
I'm no newb to WM. but I am a newb to flashing. I didn't even flash my Q9M ... afraid of bricking the dumb thing with all the horror stories I heard.
One last here, I read about flashing via memory card. Is that possible with this? Thanks
I just recently returned my HTC touch pro due to a malfunctioning keyboard, and they're sending me a free replacement of an HTC touchpro2. I had NFSAN's latest ROM on the old HTC touch pro, and I loved it. Since I'm switching to the HTC TP2, I was wonding what the best ROM was to flash. I will do the hardSPL the day I get it, and I was looking to have the best most updated/efficient HTC TP2 ROM ready to flash it once it gets here in a day or 2. I've looked through a few pages here on the CDMA ROM thread, but I don't see any clear evidence of one as great as NFSAN's for the TP. Any help in picking out the best ROM would be great.
Not again...
There is no such "best ROM"
What is best for me could not be for you
Test several till you get your "best ROM" and share it with us!
do you have any suggestions for ROMs to try? I must be missing something, but I have the CDMA sprint touch pro2, but in this thread I'm not seeing many custom ROMs available..
Mighty Rom and Energy rom always come up in the discussion of best roms...there is one other that is slipping my mind.
