Anyone going to try this ROM?

Can someone have a mod remove this post someone may actually download this file

this rom works ive been working on this for weeks. it really works for me so im sharing. i normally do not post because of people like you who opens there mouth to soon.

Need much more documentation and screen shots before someone will try it.

im lazy but will throw up Soon.

slacker... bad englizh, nas-t sintax, bad grammer.
I won't be trying this one....

just lazy cuz i do so much for my magnetics research company so on these things i like to be lazy because i cant typically. but i will try to keep good grammer but try if you like. all im trying to do is be nice release my rom that i use with others in the usa. but sorry for being lazy posting again but i will try not to if thats how you guys like things here

Gee, HACK Mimic, sounds like a safe bet to me.
I agree this thread should be dumped, and screams BRICK
DUMP THIS THREAD>

Well, give him a chance to post screen shots and specs first. May be legit.

its not a brick. im tired of everyone not giving anyone a chance. oh im not vp3g or the others so everyone assumes that its a brick and i dont know s*** and its so annoying. ive installed my rom on my friends 8525's so stop hating. if your so god like then make your own rom. so STFU until you try it for yourself. without experimenting nothing would ever get accomplished . so im lazy at posting cry me a river. i will put screen shots up soon. just dont have the time right now to do it. but they should be up tomorrow.

I smell the ban hammer.

I wouldnt mind trying this rom if I see some pics. Looks like it has some good stuff in it.

Is this just a Pandora's Kitchen build?

Screen shots, build number, etc is a given here.
Also, for what it's worth... mail and attachments on SC via registry CAN bite you on the ass, trust me. But of course, YMMV.

I just flashed your rom, and my phone started melting like an ice cream on a warm Florida day. Can you help me with this one?
Just kidding of course, I wont be trying this one either, I'm with the rest of you guys

CABs link takes you to an eBay store?
I clicked the link to the cabs file and it transfered me to an eBay store. I hit back on my browser and it brought me back to the link for the download.

Gee, a ROM called DEEZNUTZ, and a poster called HACK MIMIC. Why the **** is this asshole allowed to post his Virus ridden/ebay linking/waste of space here?
Fake hack ROM that will F'up your PHONE and make you go to his ebay store.
Ban this Spammer/hack

yes, ihavetinyballs, deeznutz sucks!
I hate reading paragraphs without punctuation. I can't stop reading till I get to the end, yet there is no period there...
I bet the info sheet that recently appeared on the first post was copy/pasted from another rom around here....slacker...

WM6.1 Alltel Touch

Hello all,
I'm new to this forum but have been playing at similar forums. It started with wanting to try every program I could find and lead to wanting to get WM6.1 on my Touch. I couldn't find one so I made one. It is my first attempt at anything of this magnitude. Anyway, I succeeded in Changing the splash screen and adding a few OEMs (sipChanger, Touchpal and a few others that may or may not stay.) I needed my Touch to stay fairly stock as I work for an Alltel Agent and need to demo my phone to customers. So all the stock software is still in my ROM. I posted it on ppcgeeks and ppcwarez but haven't had much response. I haven't had too many problems (a few quirks when switching programs but nothing major.)
Is there anyone out there that would be interested in this? I want to do some more modifications but if it's only for myself I will probably take my time.
Also I do have some questions, so if you are interested and want me to continue I would probably need some help.
Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/102675408/plckc_signed.rar
I would up it to the ftp but I get more stupid as the day progresses and its already pretty late.

I started work on it tonight

This sounds like just what I've been looking for, but I'm not technical enough to be of much help. I'm downloading it now to give it a try.

help
how do i install wm6.1

Seen your rom on ppcgeeks, flashed it, and was for the most part happy. In the touchflo cube, the pictures and videos bring up a black screen i belive. love the wm6.1 though. I have since flashed back to the newest OEM Alltel, as I too am an Alltel Agent. When I get some time, I will flash back to yours and report on a couple of things that could improve it, as this is the only other Alltel rom i'd use besides the stock one. Also, does the rev a, and gps work well with it? Didn't have it on my device long enough to play around with it that much.

also would like to know about 6.1 for alltel touch

still pretty new to flashing roms and so on but have been doing some reading and getting close to trying something new. also looking for more reading, specifically related to alltel version please post links if you have them. main goal is to unlock gps and have fun learning about things. thanks

Back in "Dash"-land. Wow!

First of all, thanks to everyone who helps makes this forum so great. I visit a lot of forums for various things, but this is one of the best!
Anyhow, I've been a Dash user since Nov 2006. Although the WM5 that was shipping at the time leaved a bit to be desired, the form factor of these phones really impressed me. In fact, I've seen a lot of newer WM phones that are still nowhere near as good as the Dash! The WM6 upgrade was a good one, but these phones really hit their stride with the WM6.1 release(s) -- found at this site, of course. I eventually even blogged my own "upgrade your Dash to WM6.1" post, which has been fairly popular. In December 2008, though, I decided to move on the G1 phone... assuming that newer was better.
Boy was I wrong.
I won't get into all of the details, but after 2 months with the G1, I was finding that many *simple* things were considerably more difficult on the G1 than on the Dash.
I decided to give the Dash a look-see again.
So, I'm back in "Dash"-land using the Rose 1.4 ROM. Wow! I am really amazed at how "out of the box" useful these new ROMs are!! Especially compared to the stock T-Mobile WM6 ROMs, which leave these phones feeling ugly and less useful. The keyboard was immediately wayyyy better than the G1, and I'm back to being able to call people with 2 or 3 clicks, rather than 6 or 7. Aside from the browser interface, I'm really not missing the G1 at all.
A few questions, though...
- My Rose 1.4 ROM has some very nice, colorful icons for the wireless signal, battery, bluetooth and so forth, but they go away when I'm on other screens. Is that typical? Anyway to have the "improved" icons show up everywhere??
- My previous WM6.1 ROM had poor radio reception, for whatever reason, and this ROM is much nicer. Is it expected that some ROMs ship with a better radio module than others?
- I've always turned the JOGGR off due to face-bumping-the-volume up and down issues, but this ROM has helped that a bit. Nice! Is there any way, though, to assign the up-and-down volume control (while in a call) to the up-and-down D-pad? Seems an obvious choice to me.
- Are there any replacements for the stock camera software on these phones? The interface drives me crazy.
- Is it possible to turn off the default "beep" sound when you place a phone call?
- I've noticed that I only hear the phone ring twice or so before it goes to voicemail, but I was used to hearing 3 or 4 rings. Any way to change that?
Ok. That's all I have for now, I guess.
Thanks!
Yip

"Is it possible to turn off the default "beep" sound when you place a phone call?"
yup go to profiles- normal (or whatever one ur on)- edit- scroll down and put system volume to off. thats it i think

- The improved icons are only going to show on the homescreen. The other icons are part of system dll's and have to be edited "in" before they'll show up. I don't think anybody's attempted to skin those on a smartphone yet, but *I* will try soon.
- The ROM doesn't include a radio.... it's either your wishful thinking, or... you just get better reception somehow.
- Don't know of a way to assign the dpad to change the volume. I'm sure it would require some custom programming which is.. above my head
- Don't think there's any camera shell replacements. Sorry...
- Look for a registry key called "Callstart" (in the registry! lol) and remove the associated .wav or .mid in that key
- There might be a "ringdelay" key in the registry. If you find one, set it to 5 to remove the delay. If not, try going into the Phone settings and somewhere in there in "services" you should be able set how many times it rings before it goes to voicemail. This is really an "operator setting", but you can try to change it this way.

What ?!? You're telling him to turn down the volume to get rid of the sound ?

Thanks for the reply, NRG! I really dig your 1.4 ROM. Thx!
Anyhow, I got the "radio" idea from the NRG 1.7 ROM page, as they mention a newer "radio" code. Not true?

For apps and stuff I go to IPmart. You can find everything you want!

@mspl
First, try Jack's medium or full 6.1 ROM for a couple of days. Than you'll decide what you still miss.

Just got my HTC Tilt 2 and need some help!

Okay so for Christmas I got the HTC Tilt 2 with WM6.5 on the AT&T network. Its a great phone but I want to make it better. Through some google searches and what not I found this site and knew i had to join anyway....
Okay so one think I am desperately looking for is a flash player, mainly so I can watch youtube videos. I tried Adobe Flash Lite but it didnt work and the youtube mobile app didn't work either. So anyway know of any good flash player?
Another thing is this is my first smart phone my last phone (some samsung thing) could barely call and text people so im still learning the ropes with this thing and have therefore never edited anything on my phone. So a basic description of like what exactly a ROM is and Flashing a ROM. Also is a skin for TF3D just a skin or is it like I guess what you call a ROM? Then the Radio I am almost sure when it says "Flash a Radio" its not talking about the FM AM kind is it?
Also I have seen some pretty sweet skins but I dont plan on changing my skin every week so I am looking for just an amazing skin! So if you know any sleek, modern, colorful, simplistic, clean skins a quick link would be great!
Bah! While I am asking all these questions can someone please explain why the HTC Tilt 2 (or any HTC phone for that matter) fall under the "Rhodium" category and what relation does it have to the phone.
Again just trying to familiarize myself with what I am doing before i do this so called "Flashing".
Also any basic info that may help a person like me.
Again thanks in advanced for the help looking forward to being more part of this community!

Congrats on getting the device. You'll either love it or hate it...
Re: Flash player
The new Pocket IE browser supports built in flash. I recall there's another browser that does as well, but I can't remember. Skyfire? Someone else should be able to come up with the name...
Re: definition of ROM and Radio
Suggest you to read about them in the wiki. ROM is your device's firmware. Radio is the software that controls your cellular reception and GPS.
Skin for TF3D does not equal ROM. Essentially it's a theme. Before installing themes, make sure the theme is made for your version of manila. But if it's a cab file, you can simply uninstall to reverse any changes.
Re: the name of your device
The Tilt2 is the same as HTC Touch Pro2. Rhodium is HTC's code name for this family of devices. The "Tilt" name is just AT&T's branding.

So, I got this phone back in September. This was also my first smartphone. I read and read through all the tutorials here on ROMs, radios, flashing, and registry tweaks. The answers to the majority of your questions are in the FAQs/XDA-Wiki.
HTC YouTube App: I think there's a fix available here on XDA. I think itt has something to do with editting the connection settings. You might want to search for that using the search function of the forum.
ROM (flashing): think of it as like upgrading your PC from XP to Vista or Vista to 7.
TF3D (aka Manila or Sense): a UI (user interface) it's sort of a skin on top of Windows Mobile. Since WM is old and appearance hasn't improved that much, HTC implemented this UI to cover up some flaws of WM.
Radio-ROM: No, that's not the FM Radio. It's a software thing that handles the phone capabilities of the phone (the Tilt2 is a PDA/phone).
(Changing) Themes: There's a lot of themes out there to suit our personalities! Go look! Besides, when you get addicted to flashing, you'll get used to changing things and setting things up over and over again!
Rhodium: (I just completed a Chemistry course; I never knew this was an element on the Periodic Table!) HTC code name of the Touch Pro2 and Tilt2.
Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Like I said, it's also my first smartphone, and I would have to say I learned a lot since I first got it (pretty recently). So I would know what you're experiencing right now.

Yes, Skyfire has full flash support and is very fast because everything goes through SkyfireLab servers. However, video playback quality will be horrible (especially YouTube!).
I just remembered, if you go to m.youtube.com in Opera Mobile Browser and you press on a video, the video will play in the HTC Video Player. So, it's not really playing in the browser; it's like you're downloading the video into your Tilt2.

Ah ok cool. Yea I have skyfire I forgot it did flash but the resolution is a bit fuzzy. Pretty sure I will love it just as soon as I figure out what in the world im doing! Since I love customizing and tweaking things which is the main reason I didnt go with an iPhone that and the full QWERTY keyboard.
I guess I shall read the wiki/faq

Welcome to forums
You had a great gift for Xmas!!
I assume you still have the stock ROM, which I personally think it´s crap...
I would recommend to install a cooked ROM from this great site!
Onalmost any cooked ROM you have the youtube app so you can see videos
Have a deep read on the Rhodium Wiki so you start to familiarize with all that you can do
Good luck and don´t forget to vote!

Yea love the phone but yes I still have the Stock ROM (hey I know what I am talking about now!) yes it is crap. Not liking the fact that it constantly stays at 74% RAM.
Oh you just reminded me abotu another question of mine.
How do I get rid of all the freakin trail ware that came pre-loaded on this phone! I think I read in multiple places most good ROMS should get rid of that.

LOL I think every ROM here gets rid of that crapware!

Ok good because it keeps me up at night just knowing that its on my phone >
Ok cool just read the Wiki found a list of ROMs that look great > just 2 possible more questions
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?
2) Just incase something goes horribly wrong is there a Hard Reset on the phone that No matter what the phone will go back to factory reset. Even after flashing?

There is a YouTube app included on the Tilt 2. It is hidden from the Start Menu by default. If you open File Manager and browse to the Windows directory, you will find YouTube there. Once you launch it for the first time, it should also be referenced in the Start Menu, or at least in the "All Programs" list option in the TF3D Programs tab. If not, you can easily COPY the youtube.lnk file from the Windows directory to Windows\Start Meny\Programs and it will show up.
The app is clean and tight, and supports the native controls of the phone (eg, the volume rocker controls volume).

I cant seem to find it I browsed the programs list and there was no YouTube Program unless its called something else.
Anyway as posted abotu still have 2 questions:
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?

1. If you have the .cabs of your apps, save them onto your PC (I have a designated folder for all my cabs, worth over 400MB!). After you flash, you're going to have to re-install them (automatically or manually, depending on if you use Sashimi, Sprite, Seven, or UC_setup [UC is only possible if it is supported by the ROM]).
2. If you flashed, your stock ROM has been overwritten, so if you hard reset, it will flash to the factory defaults that is in the flashed ROM. To go back to stock, you will need to flash back to the stock ROM, which you should find in the link posted in the above post.

Oh ok thanks for all the answers appriciate it I think I might do it this weekend if i get the time.

First off, welcome.
Next before you do ANYTHING read then re-read any and all wiki's and tutorials on the Rhodium. Learn your device inside and out FIRST before attempting to make tweaks or rom changes. If you don't read then re-read, your Christmas present can become a pretty paperweight -aka- bricking your device.
pIE and Skyfire both have Flash capabilities.
The Rhodium IS cpabale of being used as a radio, but you need to install the right cab file...again read.
That being said, a radio usually refers to the part of the phone that receives a signal so you can use it as a phone. Don't mess with THAT radio until you have read and re-read the wiki's and tutorials.
Flashing a rom means to change your operating system to a "cooked" one...one made using a windows mobile base, but specially tweaked by someone here at xda. These cooked roms cannot be flashed without first unlocking your phone. Again READ or you can brick it. Also know that flashing a cooked rom has the potential to void any warranty you have...so back up your stock rom before attempting a rom flash. It is also good to have this back up in the event that you don't like a cooked rom you have installed.
There is a great thread that lists cab files to some really good applications, which will customize your device even more. You can also create your own ringtones, and tweak the device. Again, before any major installations or registry tweaks I strongly urge you to learn all you can first, by reading the wiki's and tutorials.
I have been with xda since my wizard came out a few years ago, and I have seen far too many eager "noobs" brick their devices.
I have only had my rhodium for a month. I am still learning my device. I still have a stock rom because I am not yet comfortable with my knowledge of the Rhodium. The stock rom blows by comparison to the cooked roms, but until I am comfortable with my device, I am happy to remain stock until I learn all I need to.
Once you learn your device, you will need to join Flashers Anonymous...because like most of us here, our phones become really fun toys with pretty much unlimited possiblities...so again, welcome...and read, read, read.
