I just recently bought the Tilt 2. I likes, but would also likes to tweak a little. I have seen other TF2 phones that have the weather interface just under the clock itself, w/ cool animations. Anyway to get that same thing for my AT&T phone? Anyone with a program or fix I can use?

Have you read through the forums or used the "search" feature to look for what you want? This isnt just as easy as installing a fix or new clock. You need to update your manilla/touch flo 3d interface to Sense 2.1 or 2.5. This CAN be done via cab I believe however I cant speak about performance with that method as I have never done it... Most people just flash an entire new rom to their phone that has sense 2.1 or 2.5 preinstalled in it.
Sounds to me like you're running an old stock rom from your carrier. Most carriers have updated their roms as it is so you can probably just download a new one from your carriers website or something and update it and then you wont have to hardspl your phone and temporarily void the warranty. Again, do some reading you'll find what you need. If someone wants to just thrown this person the links feel free to chime in. It's not hard to search though. If you cant figure out how to use that search feature box in the top right of practically every page on this forum your best bet is just to go into google and type what you want followed by XDA after it and you'll find the threads that way.
Good luck!
tilt 2 fix FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM!
lol man i had the same, i bought the tilt 2, i thought id be an iphone killer, is ok, but i hated that i couldnt customize to my own way of liking. anyways
the best and only fix i could tell you is FLASH TO A CUSTOM ROM, i love my phone so much more, its pretty safe if you follow the tutorials step by step.
it makes your phone so much better, then youll get the features YOU want.
i tried the e2 rom fisrt and its pretty much stock TP2, but no brands nowhere, i loved it, but i wanted more, so i tried the white GTX themed rom ENERGY, but it was too bright when driving at night, maybe for the movies too, its cool thou, but i didnt like how the cloudy weather would blend in with the rest, anyways
now im trying the MAXSENSE 2.5 i like it, but its different to the first one i tried and fell in love with, imma try it for a lil longer maybe i fall in love and forget the e2 rom, but so far e2 and energy are my favorite.
read read read, because i got so confused at first when i see roms for 6.5 and then 6.5.x or 6.5.1, all it is a different design, i didnt like the new sms because its kinda complicated to understand and has the send button to the right kinda like the touchflo send button on the stock tilt and the back button (6.5.1 or x) where the send button is on the 6.5 sms app.
i liked the GTX 6.5 sms skin because its like bubbles like the iphone not as pretty but deff not regular and plain.
but now that im using the ENERGY MAXSENSE ROM im kinda missing the e2 rom, but i hear energy rom is the best one. so imma keep playing with it.
let me know if you need more simple explanations than found here. because i had to go through the same when i first got on here lol

Hi, just joined and see the tallent...
Just bought a Titan, well I think I did. Verizon calls it the "HTC XV6800".
Where to begin ? How to recover ?
Can you point me in the right direction for someone who is very green to start messing with the cell phone O/S ? I'm willing to put the time into it but don't know where to start.
Windows Mobile 6 Pro
CE OS 5.2.1.1238

Thanks

well if you notice a problem with battery life i would update it to the verizon wm6.1 update which can be found on the verizonwireless site
ppckitchen.org has a nice program called "BuildOS" which lets you build a rom to your liking in an easy simple manner which makes brewing coffee look difficult.

If he is one of the people that dont want to mess with custom roms then he can use the stock one. I use the stock one and love it. I heard dcd is good but i also heard there are problems and i would like to stay with something i know things work on.
First of all DCD's roms have far less problems then stock roms. The only time I would ever flash stock roms is if I were sending the device back for warranty. It really is not hard to flash custom radios and roms as long as you take your time. It's just like following a recipe. As long as you wait till the end to add your own spices your family won't be pissed at you for screwing up the casserole.
sorry if this has been asked b4 .
i've had my hd2 for a month now and was just wondering if cooking or updating the rom is worth it .? my O.S is 5.2.21869 rom is 1.48.405.2(71294)wwe man 2.5.19211619.
what r the benifits of doin it ?
First off mate, cooking is what you do to make a custom ROM. As you said, you'd be updating it, but not cooking it.
Anyway, there are ROMs available now that have lots of fixes in that weren't included in 1.48 (the dreaded SMS issues and lock-screen not always locking, plus others.) Also, there are some ROMs available that also include Sense upgrades. For example, I've got the document tab and an eReader tab on mine. I don't use the document tab much (I've got a London underground pdf that I open with it, and that's all at the moment), but the eReader tab actually got me into eBooks.
Also, a lot of custom ROMs don't include some of the software that is on a stock ROM. For example, I use Dutty's Holy Grail v0.8, and it doesn't come with quite a few things (there's a list of stuff that's not included in the thread), and I ended up with about 70MB more device memory than with a stock ROM. As well as that, this particular ROM is simply faster and better than a stock ROM.
It's worth having a read through the ROM forum threads and seeing what's out there. You're bound to find something that you decide you want, and then you've just got the hassle of backing up contacts/texts/emails/photos/videos etc. (not that it's really a hassle when you use decent software to do it for you), and you've got to consider the fact that you're breaking your warranty too (but this can be undone, in case you ever need to send the phone off for repair/replacement).
Head on over to the ROM thread and read up on there. I bet you end up flashing a custom ROM

That's alright mate. If you're new and haven't got a clue what you're doing, just ask away. Just make sure you've searched first as some people get a bit "YOU MUST SEARCH FIRST"-like with you Just make sure to say you've searched and couldn't find anything.
I started here about a year and a half ago and didn't know a ting about WM, but lots about Windows. This has been a great site for me.
Anyway, have fun

looks good but still not for me i am afraid...
it has to be exactly right for me to even think about flashing... closest ive found that comes close to my taste is Miri's 6.5.
Dont worry about me im just extremely picky with this device. For me its fast enough as it is and has enough storage for my needs with stock. Strange because in the past i was flashing my devices nearly every other week. I guess ive just grown out of flash fever
I think I just want something that will expand the memory think I need to learn bit more bout it , till I do it .
theres no rush, the hd2 has plenty of ram even without the extra unlocked. you won't notice much of a difference.
I've been watching the forum the last week to see if anyone would post up about this.
The new ROM is available from the HTC AU website. (Unfortunately my account doesn't let me put the link up)
I've had it installed on my phone for 4 days now and the performance increase has been awesome. Apart from an initial hang after upgrading it's been great and hasn't had any slowing down etc that always used to happen. Hasn't crashed or hung at all (except that first one)
I'd recommend everyone with the Telstra HD2 (T9193) upgrades.
Unfortunately it still comes with the Telstra bloatware but what can you do..
One thing I've noticed is that I can't get my email to work but I think that's to do with my Internet settings (as I have an Optus SIM) I've got the Internet working but haven't got the auto connect settings right yet.
Cheers guys,
MC
old news. that rom has been out for 4 weeks.
The sent SMS alert will make you scratch your brains out and then you will want to roll back to the original ROM or a cooked ROM, personally i rolled back to the original rom as most mods and cabs work with the original without issues. Search the forums when it comes to the telstra bloat as you can get rid of it or mask it it somthing better for 99% of it.
Cookies home tab is a must to start with
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
and then a nice theme like dkBlack theme v2 (my current and fav theme out there).
Happy hunting and good luck with the new ROM...

I realise this, but it's hidden in the 40 page general thread.
i thought it might be handy to have a dedicated thread for it.

Agreed about the SMS notification.. It's definitely annoying. I can put up with it since the phone is overall much faster and stable though.
Thanks, sorry for the question, I'm obviously new to this.
oh of course man , anything for a new guy.. heres a link to a page that describes all the roms in detail , from here im sure youll be able to make your decision

we all had to do our own research and testing...you should do the same for something i like not be the same as what you like.
In reality, its not a bad question. Imagine you were going to buy a car. You go to a mega lot with literally hundreds of different cars. How do you even start to narrow down what kind of car to buy?
I chose my rom based on three factors:
1) What I perceive to be the most stable
2) What I perceive to be the most popular
3) What I perceive to have the most features stock
Which is rather odd since I chose my car on none of those factors
not trying to pick sides here but i have tried pretty much all the roms here. right now i am really happy with Energy.. doesnt lock up. only downside you might find is it doesnt have the HTC messaging but that was the main problem with a lot of roms i tried. the app kept freezing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654504
After testing server roms, I've been most happy with Energy. Never freezes up on me EVER! It looks great, and comes with everything. The HTC Messaging app is absolute garbage. I'm glad the chef removed it. I love the Windows Mobile default app
Is it my phone or does the energy rom drain the battery????
Flash roms and find the one that works best for ya.
I got my wife a HD2 from tmo. She loves the hardware, of course, but the phone is stock and locks up way, way too often.
I was wondering if the custom ROMs suffer from this too or if they have alleviated this issue. I can flash her device easy, but don't want to play support desk for her.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
I think this question relates specifically to ROM development vs general dev questions, but Mods please free to move or lock if you have to.

Custom ROM's are generally very stable compared to the Stock, however, when I used my stock, it was stable as hell, it's just on a case to case basis. But sounds like on your situation, flashing a Custom ROM would help.
on my stock HD2 i found that the more txts i had the more it would lock up, and every time i would clear them the phone would run perfect, but i hate to clear my txts so i use the energy rom by NRG. cant be happier.

Same here, mine was pretty stable with the exception of the messaging problem. But man are the custom's smooth and fast! My wife's on the other hand has had numerous lockups...
Sounds like you know your way around flashing but just make sure to READ, READ, READ so you don't end up giving your wife back a paperweight.
The folks around the community have made it extremely easy to do but it's also just as easy to brick it. With the advent of HSPL3, the task29 exe file, I can go from Rom to Rom in about half an hour (after setting everything up on the new one).
As far as which ROM is best (if you find yourself asking that question); that's not a question that's really "allowed" here and usually gets a thread locked. I found that just reading the first few posts of each thread to get the jist of what they offer and then it all comes down to just flashing it, playing around with it and see if you like it.

have you tried the updated TMobile US ROM? 2.13...? It is pretty stable. I used it for a couple months. Recently though flashed a custom ROM (Elegancia GTX) for fun, and it is actually faster, and seems even more stable.
The BEST way to make your HD2 stable...completely...is to disable HTC Sense and just use Windows Default (Titanium) or the older traditional WM Today Screen. Using HTC sense caused a need to reset my HD2 too often. Usually once a day or every two days at the longest between resets. With HTC sense disabled I might turn the phone off and on one or two times per week...and that is by choice usually.
