Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just upgraded from Fuze to Tilt 2 on AT&T. I'm an amatuer but managed to flash my old Fuze, load weather master, use TF3D config and manila customizer.
I'm having a hell of a ime trying to get what I need for my Tilt 2 fresh from AT&T with WM6.5. It locks up constantly and is a real pain.
I want to see the weather on my home page which doesn't show now. I want to be able to add weather locations as I did with my Fuze and Weather Master. I also need to flash ROM, radio, everything on this phone to make it better. I need some guidandce on what the best options for me are. Please help with some links to where I need to go. I know how to flash I just can't pick what I need out of all of this info.
What's the best, most stable Roms out here? Radios? Weather editors? TF3D configurations? I can't seem to get my old mind working.
Thanks folks!

The weather on the home page is not included with the stock Tilt 2 Rom. You would need to flash one. The "best" ROM is subjective. What is best for me may not be best for you.
I suggest reading up n the differences between Windows 6.1, 6.5, and 6.5.x as well as the differences between Sense 2.1 and Sense 2.5
Then, determine which combination would work best for you and pick a ROM based on that.
Once you are done with that, go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973

Don't tell me no one here gets zoned out and can't find something. I should have known to type "noob" or "mall ninja" in the search engine.
I'm old, I have one daughter starting college this fall and my 5th (yes I said FIFTH) GIRL on the way. Please have mercy on me. I rarely have time to do things for me so perhaps I give up a little earlier than I would have 20 years ago.
On to my next NOOBster question. Thank you Doinshots for your advice and that's really all I need. Last time I did this was with my Fuze when I joined this forum. I didn't seem to have any problems then but now I can't seem to figure out which one I should use and how to go about it. I will read everything and hopefully won't have to ask too many questions. Open forums are brutal!

Can someone please tell me a good rom that will work on my ALLTEL CDMA TOUCH? Ive seen all kinds of roms on here but dont know which one will work if any. The main thing i want is WM 6.1 upgrade, and the main reason for that is the new internet explorer offered with it with the zoom capabilities and new media stuff. Can someone please list a couple even one really good rom in there opinion. Again its for the ALLTEL CDMA TOUCH.
I have the same question for the Verizon Touch. Although I am certainly willing to wait for the Rev A and GPS enabled ROM... I figured I would get some experience with these others first.

dcd's rom is a good place to start. you will either have to implement the alltel customizations yourself or wait a few days until he gets the alltel version (and the others for that matter) back up, but its there, he made one

also, all the roms (that dont include radio's) will work for any carrier. the only things that might be added/missing/out of wack would be different proprietary media applications such as sprint tv or the ce os build may be slightly different. so basically it would be a littler nicer for you guys to wait for dcd to get his roms hosted somewhere again, but if you would like to try 6.1 in the mean-time, just download the kitchen, click buildnb.bat, select the components you want included in the rom, hit the little "play" button, wait, and flash away!
feel free to ask more questions and good luck!

EDIT: and ppcgeeks.com has about 1000 custom roms, so i would really recommend looking there, there are some really great ones there.

also, this isnt for 6.1, but if you decided you are just going to wait for dcd to get an alltel version posted, you might do this in the meantime just to keep things running smoother and everything:

could you post a link to the dcd roms you were talking about? ive probably passed them up but havent found them. By the way theres a rev a rom thats for alltel listed on the first page. It works for verizon from what ive read but ask a senior member first. its got some minor cool tweaks besides rev a too.
also maybe post a link to a good 1 without the "radio" like u said?
Thanks Jim,
You sure do put in time with noobs both here and ppcgeeks. I appreciate it.

Love your rom its awesome just want to customize and put my favorite stuff in those 2 panels so i can get phone way i want it. any info or links would be greatly appreciated, thanks again for the rom!

It's a couple of threads above this one. Just download that program. It will let you configure your myFaves, internet, anything you want. It is one of the best programs I've seen implemented on these phones. Microsoft would love to get their hands on this little nugget. Trust me, it's really good, and it will do exactly what you want.

OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks

This particular forum is for the CDMA Vogue but this site is geared more toward GSM devices. There doesn't seem to be a big US Cellular following on here.

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.
spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.
Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable
Detroit Doug
Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen?

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240
RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225

I've recently upgraded to the standard Vodafone 6.5 rom, and so far I'm rather happy with it...
Found SBP Pocket Plus doesn't work well, but as all I was after was the ability to edit file extensions now use Total Commander/Resco File Explorer.
What I would love to be able to do is alter the short-cut links on the lower scrolling links bar... any ideas?
But, in general, I'm not rushing to change many things as I'm finding it rather good as is.
What are other's thoughts - and ideas on additions to improve it?

I have a Vodafone branded TP2 and I was hoping to upgrade to 6.5 Rom. can you kindly point me in the right direction to do this ( i am quite new to these things and dont wanna ruin my phone)... thanks..
Also if i do not like the 6.5 upgrade can i go back to 6.1 stock rom i am on now?
Download the uopdate here:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
The list 'previous version' too, so I guess you can go back...
Been using it for quite some time. Its a good rom. A couple of minor bugs here and there. One that a couple of people have observed is every now and then a new txt will arrive and the device will act like it will never stop vibrating. The last time it happened to me, it actually stopped after a couple of minutes (I wanted to see how long it would take).
As for editing the scrolling links at the bottom...do you mean adding new tabs to TF3D? It is simple to remove them, but adding new ones I'm not so sure about...
Jason
Yep, I did meant TF3D Tabs - I know how to remove from the list, but was hoping there was a reg edit or two to replace/add new ones...
Keep hoping someone will come up with a solution...
