Question Re: My Htc Tilt (Att)

I have an ATT Tilt, and im getting fed up with it. Ever since i updated the new rom for it, it randomly shuts down, freezes constantly, and email and things like that dont work... It consistently freezes every time i get a call, on top of just completely randomly while in my pocket...
So my real question: Would getting a custom rom fix these problems at all, or is it not worth it to risk damaging the phone? The only custom rom i have seen around is Manila i think, if there are others which ones do you think are best?
Thanks much for your help!

Your questions one at a time:
Would a custom ROM fix these problems?
Yes, probably. But might lead to new ones.
Is it worth the risk?
Only you can answer that. However, if an official ROM has produced the problems you mentioned, I would try to reflash the same official ROM first - redownload the file and everything just to make sure you didn't get a bad flash.
As long as you use HardSPL, flashing ROMs should be pretty safe. But you will more than likely void your warranty. Just read a bunch before you flash. I would start with
This: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
and then once you have that on your machine you need to surf around
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
to get a good idea of what ROMs are out there for Kaiser. I saw five or so on the first page.
Which ROM is best?
Again, only you can answer that. Try a bunch and you will probably find a good one.
there are alot more roms available you will need to look under the "kaiser" rom section and you will find a pot of gold
Thanks for ur help guys.. Ill check out those links and all the roms once i get home today..
hey jeordy,
I am having the same exact problems with my tilt. I had to unlock it as I use tmobile. If you come up with any solutions please post here. I hope you do.
Thanks

[Q] Hi, I need Help please

Hi guys, I am new to this forum, also I am new on Android phones since I used to be an iGuy..
A week ago I bought a brand new HTC Evo 4g, but I didnt want to connect it on sprint so I pay 60 bucks to get it flashed, so I can Use it with boostmobile.
The flash was-is great, the phone is working perfect on Boostmobile.
So in what I need help is in that I want to install a new theme, a have been reading and to install a new theme the phone has to be root or something like that.
My question is if I install a new theme do I loose my flash?
Please guys I need help.
I dont have an evo, but rooting just allows you to access more things in your phone, and break through the security that the companies put on it. It allows you to install themes, different roms, etc.
But if I root my phone do I loose my Flash? because I dont want to pay 60 more bucks to get my phone unlock
Not sure, but I doubt rooting would revoke your unlock.
Thanks man
Before do anything I am going to wait for more opinions

no. my evo is on boost and when i first got it i struggled with that question as well but decided to gamble and it paid off because now i have an evo on boost fully rooted with nand unlocked running fresh evo 3.5.0.1 themed with riptide9s colornclear and slayers mods. i just did all of this in the last couple days. this site is awsome you just gotta take your time and look and be willing to take a chance or two and work through the issues. if you need some advice ill do what i can but im a noob too so dont expect too much lol. btw does your picture mail work?
Once your phone is registered on boost it will stay as long as you pay the bill
even if i do a factory reset?

New theme? Just go ahead and slap a new launcher on your phone to begin with. ADW and launcher seem to be the greatest out there although others are catching on. These are the simplest form of themeing you could ADW being easier as of now. Detailed stuff like font change and notification bars can be done via rooting or custom roms. Font changes are really easy via an app called type fresh and if rooting for your phone is a one click option I think that would be sweet. Either ways getting a custom cynogen 7 rom for yourself would be best!

yes, a factory reset will just reset the data and settings on your phone back to the way they were when you first turned it on. it will still be connected to the same mobile network with the same phone number
also for future reference this post should probably have gone into the HTC Evo section

Just got this phone via Craigslist trade, help/sugjestions?

Wondering if someone wanted to help me out by posting an easy way to root the phone, and maybe get off this terrible 2.2 OS, best rom around? I like AOSP if thats available. maybe cm9/10?
Any other sugjestions of stuff I should do with it.
Also, can this phone be unlocked free? It's for tmobile and im AT&T, i think i found a thread somewhere on google but I lost it.
Thanks guys!

[Q] Need info and advice

First I'd like to say I don't think this is the right place for my question but I cant post where I think it should go so hopefully somebody here can help me.
I want to put custom rom onto my nokia lumia 710 but dont know which would be the best on to use I've seen three so far in my looking around the site the RainbowMod, metro^7 rom, Lumiatrix 4.2 ROM. I like the look of the RainbowMod from the video on youtube that I'm not aloud to link, but I want to know from somebody that has experience with custom roms to give me some advice on which one to go for. I haven't unlocked my phone yet plan on doing this to night or tomorrow when ever I get some time to sit and do it without been called away in the middle of doing it.
Also from the look of the video I linked it looks like you can install apps from different marketplaces is this right and if it is can this be done with all custom roms???
Any other advice you can give me or links to the best tuts on each step so I don't follow a sub par tut by not knowing the best place to look for one.
Thanks in advance
Pacina
Can nobody here give me any advice I was told this was the best site for this type of thing:laugh: I'm guessing not
So basically even the old HD2 has WM7 Roms and I tried all of them.
You are right with a custom ROM you can download everywhere else too, some Roms are unlocked already and your windows nokia 710 will be just great.
First of all a backup off your stuff will be good because you will lose everything on your phone then.
And I think you will need the activation key for your phone again after that.

Official support for that device was dropped a long time ago, no one currently on the team owns one.
Crap and got ya I'm guessing that also means u don't have a direction to suggest for me to look toward to fix that on a phone in general. It honestly sucks that it was discontinued cuz I do honestly like this phone and can't get new one till tax time and wish I could work out the few issues with this ROM on this phone so after I get new phone I can use this one as gameboy etc.... If u know what I mean but anyway ty for the reply and if u think of anything plz feel free to pass idea

The zmax has been out for over 6 years now and development for it has been dead since about 2016. As far as the stock firmware goes it was never updated past android 4.4. Everything 5.0 and up came in the form of custom roms. As for buying multiple Z970 phones and sending them to people to try to revive development for it, good luck. It was a budget phone from the moment it came out and by today's standards its specs are abysmal. I seriously doubt any developer worth their salt would be interested. The best advice I can give you is to just get a better, newer phone, and if you want custom roms look for one that's already supported. If you need to go back to stock there should be some stock rom zips you can flash through TWRP. I know at one point I had them on android file host, though I haven't checked in years.
