Newbie HTC Tytn II owner query...help greatly appreciated - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hey everyone. I have had my Tytn2 for about 6 months now and am generally displeased with the speed of its operation. As it is my first Windows Mobile phone(v6.1) I hoped that it could supersede my older non smartphones but i am now currently doubting my investment. The idea of system optimisation and sub standard/non existant drivers has recentely come to my attention by surfing the internet trying to find the reasoning behind its sluggish operation. As i am not up to date with many technical terms used on this website and the reasonings behind the slowness of it i am making my post fairly general. I have reaslised though that there are things out there that can boost its speed and operation and make it an overall better phone.
If anyone has some favourite, worthwhile or must have tweaks i can do to my phone it would be much appreciated if you could fill me in, send me a link or generally point me in the right direction.
Cheers for your help in advance and thanks to the people out there who are working on these such things

Put a ROM on it that isn't loaded down with ATT bloatware, and HTC's slowness. You'll need to install a HardSPL on your device, SuperCID unlock your device, flash a radio, and choose a ROM to install on your device.

thankyou for your post. Excuse my ignnorance but what does a ROM actually do to the phone? I have no issues with doing so, i just really dont undertand what it does/the reasoning behind it. And also a radio? i have searched threads but there is so much about installing them etc but not many explinations on their workings. cheers k-semler

ok.. i have been looking around some more and found some more answers to my questions...so it basically boosts the performance? so once this is done what can i load onto my phone to make this all worthwhile?And also once this is done does is load as per normal, just faster? Or does the phone have a whole new layout etc. that the creator made?
cheers

The ROM is equivilant to the OS on a desktop computer, the radio allows communication via cellular, wi-fi, and GPS communications. The HardSPL is equivilant to the MBR on a desktop computer, and the Super CID is equivilant to the BIOS on a computer. (A locked CID will only allow you to install signed ROM's from either your telephone service provider, or HTC, while after a SuperCID unlock, you will be able to flash any ROM you so desire.)

The easiest way to describe it is if you went and bought a name brand computer, when you initially set up the OS, (or use the recovery discs that came with the computer), it will install the OS along with a ton of bloatware, half-functional trial ware, and other unwanted software. However, if you were to boot off of a Windows retail disc, you would have the same operating system, but without all the unnecessary software that the retailer included as an added "bonus". So yes, the computer will operate faster due to not being loaded down by unnessecary software.
Yes, once a new ROM is flashed to your phone, and it was a successful flash, it will boot up as normal, and go through the customization process. After the customization process, it will soft-reset the device, and your phone will boot as normal. It will be as fresh as it would be had it come out of the box that way. Yes, this means that you will lose your contacts list, emails, and everything else you have stored on the phone's main memory. (just like you would lose everything on your HDD if you wiped out your OS and installed it again).
To back up your contacts, simply copy the file PIM.VOL from the root of your device to a microSD card, or your desktop. After you have flashed the phone, rename the new PIM.VOL on the root of the device to PIM.OLD, and copy over your archived PIM.VOL to your phone. Soft reset your device, and boot it up like normal. After the phone restarts, verify you have your contacts list restored, and then delete the file PIM.OLD from your device. The same goes for any other data you may wish to preserve. Copy it off to an SD card, or your desktop computer. After you have flashed your phone, simply copy back all data you have archived. You will obviously need to re-install any applications you wish to have on your phone.
With a customized ROM, you can get anything from a bare-minimum install, (just the OS and nothing more), to a completely new layout with TouchFlo3D, Manala 2D, HTC Home, etc. Look at the ROM development forum, decide what you want your phone to do, and go with it. There are also betas for Windows Mobile 6.5 if you wish to try it, as well as ROM's with PIE 8.5, Opera, and virtually any combination you could possibly want to customize the layout of your phone. The phone will be as a completely different device if that is what you so desire. As far as customisation programs, look into Advanced Configurator 3.3 or Kaiser Tweak. You can also install a registry editor and do the edits manually if you so desire.

thanks for that, that simplifies it somewhat. Should i be attempting to do this to my phone in fear of a major screwup if i lack in depth undertanding of what i am actually doing? i can download the files and follow steps and probably get it right but if something goes wrong i will have not a clue of how to fix it or what i did wrong. Thats my only fear.... what your thoughts?
also can you recommend any decent ROMs for a first timer/do you know anyone i can ask?

RE: Fears
Yeah, first time flashing is pretty scary. Believe me, I know all too well how nerve wracking flashing ROMs can be the first couple of times. Just make sure you follow the directions to a "T" and you should be fine. =]
But, if by some freak accident or some screw-up on your part...there ARE a few fixes depending on what broke. There are various threads in the ROM area on this particular thing.
With that being said, just follow the flashing instructions, make sure you backup your PIM, and then pick yourself a good ROM! =]
For first-timers I'd go with either a standard 6.0-6.1 ROM or something by Dutty or L26. It's been so long and so many flashes since my first that I've honestly forgotten which one I started w/ but Dutty & L26 both make wonderful ROMs and I've had various builds by both.
Best of luck!

i am with 3 mobile: does this influence which ROM i chose. Or is this dealt with during the unlocking phase?

That is dealt with during the unlocking step. After you unlock your device, it will not matter who your carrier is. You could insert a SIM from Hong Kong if you wanted to.

HTC TyTn 2 - Some Info on GUI for Newbie

Hi,
I have a HTC TyTn 2. Its on orange, and the details of it are:
ROM Version: 1.81.61.2 WWE
Radio Version: 1.27.14.32
Windows Mobile 6 Proffessional
I find it really boring and am looking for something to spice up the GUI.
I seen software on here called Cube. I was wondering if it actually works, and if there are any implications or lost functions related to installing it.
This is my first post, so i dont really have a clue what it is.
Also my phone is a works phone so it needs to be stable and retain all the Origigal functions.
Can anyone suggest anything??
Thanks
Gaz
There are some versions of the original "cube" as produced by HTC, which can be re-used on various devices for which it wasn't designed.
However, a number of our fellow members have written good or better 3rd party imitations of the cube launcher - try searching for cube and having a look at some of those ones.
IMHO the cube only has limited function, and you can do better with a well configured "Today" screen. There are hundreds of threads on modifying your today screen, and many screenshots for insipiration. Have a look at some of those.
At the end of the day, if you mess up your phone software wise, you can always "hard reset" which will reset to factory conditions, wiping all of your dodgy software off.

I notice that this is your first post. A friend of mine once said the enemy of "good" is "better".
It is important to remember that you are about to consider messing with an expensive "phone". It is possible to make it (read the MANY threads here) work less like a phone than you might want.
If you did that (messed up) to your phone - how upset would you be...can you be without it for a couple of days while you sort things out?
Make sure that you read the WIKI/STICKYs at the top of the messsage board. It is interesting reading acually. If you have a hard time with them you need to leave your phone alone. If you understand what they are saying, then considering a change to your phone might not be too difficult.

Yeah - I realized that I made it sound scary - but I wanted to convey (since it was specified that this is a work phone and has to maintain the original stuff...) that there was some risk - that reading was required and should be done before jumping off and trying things and then having the phone not available.
But - honestly - if what I said "scares" you - you probably ought not be messing with your "work phone" - don't you think?

I want to add
2008-04-29 Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
to my phone.
My question is do i need to upgrade to WM 6.1 first, or does this do it for me??
Do i need to do a sim unlock first??
Do i need to CID unlock first??
Ive done the reading of the wiki's but im not too sure!
Please help
Then you haven't read the wikis all the way through..
Also if that is a work phone I wouldn't flash any rom on it. (which duttys is a rom)

Yes you will need to do all of the above, but TBH if you are after retaining all of the orignial functions of the phone then a flashed ROM is about as far away from that as you can be. It adds a lot of extras in removes a lot of bloatware etc. To answer your question yes when you flash a ROM it will auto upgrade you to WM6.1
EDIT: Beat me to the puch there Chumley
mmmn.
May be you guys are right, leave the thing alone. Its just so boring though.
It is a works phone. I have to use it to access corporate network internet pages, and to telnet into certain systems. Also they are supposed to be able to track us from them via the GPS inside.
Do you think changing the ROM would be a bit dodgy???
Are there any other options to make it a bit more fancier, the thing is so dull, but Duttys Rom looks cool.

Again , Look at the page I told you about in the fourth post. Home plugin, HTC Home Customizer, Point UI , Spb Mobile Shell. These are all window dressing and will not effect the function of your phone like a rom switch ( good and bad ) will Look here for inspiration
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336013
if you are just after the "dutty look" then there is no need to flash a whole rom just to achieve that "look". you can just change you theme, install apps, change the skins etc, and you phone will look way cooler, in fact you may even become more attractive to the opposite sex
Cheers,
Just put the Slither C++ Cube thing on. Its sweet.

Wich ANTI THEFT program is better?

hi guys, I have my precious HTC touch diamond for a week now, and because of its beautifull shine, everyone wants to have one.
That's why i did some searching on the web about anti theft programs, and I found these 3
Ultimate Theft Alert v3
W.I.M.P.
Sprite Terminator
They all look pretty good, but before buying anything (or downloading ) I want to know wich one is best to pick, could you guys help me with that? also keep on mind that the program has to work on a VGA screen
Thanks, Markos Wahid
Tried three of them also and decided to (actually buy) sprite terminator with a coupon disc 50% (forgot where i got it thou), reason to buy:
- support
- price (very cheap!!!)
- easy to use
a program called mobile justice thats free and does the job, if you burn it in to a ROM before you flash the ROM to your device it will resist hardresets as well unlike most programs out there.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mjustice/
not to mention a steel chain with a steel lock, one end at yr diamond, second one around yr neck
jokes aside, ultimate theft alert is the most popular.
i am sorry to see that the diamond in his actual configuration doesn't support the very slim chance that somebody will find it and be willing to return it, i am talking about OWNER INFORMATION!! gone in the invisible "today" screen
I need some advice to burn Ultimate theft alert to a ROM on diamond.
Is this possible?
^probably... check the developer forum..theyd be better at answering that...
i think the guy who makes ultimate theft also posts here...It seems the nicest.. the other alternative is sprite...the middle one doesnt look nice. i dont really know since i never had a wm device. im just saying from what ive read...
I tried to install Theft Alert but the instalation crashes...
Has anyone the same issue?

Settings --> Owner information --> Options --> "When the device is turned on, display: Identification Information"
Sprite terminator requires some additional editing. It says my GPS location is in China somewhere.
Ultimate Theft seems to work alright, but I havent tested it yet with the sims, which I'll do in a few minutes.
I like the ULT 3.5 better.
what i'll like to know is how to burn. the developer section have no guide on actual burning and takes for granted that we're rom cookers so i for one, understand nothing T.T

I agree. All these softwares are useless as most people would hard reset the device.... As far as cooking goes, I really want to get into doing this - I just need the 'beginner' tutorial, before the 'hardcore' tutorial..
Even the SPL must be protected against reflashing of the phone then. Is that possible?
So locking the SPL so no new SPL can be flashed either, and new ROM flashing is impossible then.
There are too many smart people who just fix that 'hot' phone with UTA or any program to original. And the thing you want is you phone back.

Well I do know that HardSPL has overwrite protection and you cannot flash a new SPL after you've installed it. Although there will be a 'downgrade' package soon so you can get back to stock SPL.
I don't understand why there isn't such a flash and/or hard reset protection...it's just very frustrating when you lose the device(like I did once) knowing the next 'owner' could simply hard reset (or flash a new ROM) to use it as his own device. I know, cooking some settings into a ROM solves a little piece, but more and more people are aware of XDA-dev and know about flashing. So you could cook your anti-theft into your ROM, but agianst flashing there is nothing u can do
Well, I thought, it should be possible to lock SPL flashing, by encrypting the bootloader by (my own) password?
On the moment one makes flashing without my password impossible, a antitheft program can be installed in the ROM and running always, even with hard-reset.
One should vind an easy way of providing MY sim card data into that rom prior to flashing.
Hi Folks,
But back to the topic, is there any anti-theft programs that really works in the first place for Diamond? I had tried Star Enforcer (it can't get the current IMSI number), Mobile Justice (it can't send out SMS) and RemoteTracker (can't run... I need to research more on this..).
Cheers.
mobile justice, did you install the certificate? most problems are as a result of that not being done, give me a PM if you want a hand and ill talk you through it, it does work well, but as already been mentioned all it takes for any software is a full flash, if you install many of the apps to the ROM before flashing it you can at least survive a hard reset.
Thanks Dazza,
I had missed installing the certificate.
But now, after some testing, I found out that it was only able to send out SMS unless I select "Disp.MsgBox".
Is this something expected? May be MJ needs to be re-rewritten or recompiled for WM6.1?
I'm aware of the hard reset issue. Am planning for myself to learn how to cook up a ROM, with my details in, to prevent this.
Cheers.
Tried UTA 3.5. and WIMP
Both can send out Text messages to designated telephone no.
But i thought UTA 3.5 could monitor the sms and phone calls going in or out of the phone. but it didnt seem to work. it crashed. and when you inserted a new sim it kept on asking whether i wanted to run the .exe file not very good.
Am testing out WIMP at the moment and seems to be ok.
but not alot of functionality if compared with UTA that is if UTA worked.
That would be a very good idea if you can input it into the ROM. but will you not have to mess with the registry to 'register' the product and keep your data.?
Well,
When I did a hard-reset last week, I observed that the device begins installing some software onto itself, just like it did when I first powered it up. May be we can cook up something into a cook ROM to do something identical? E.g. the settings required for MJ?
But then, I'm a noob at this stage (with a full time job and family). So, I'll have a very long way to go.
Cheers.

Deploying 200 Tilts

Hey everyone! Our company just signed up with AT&T and we got over 200 Tilts that I need to get ready to deploy. The reason we went with the Tilts is because we need WM 6.1, touch screen support (for signature capture), and GPS, and we ended up getting them all next to nothing rather than paying $1500 per device for something like a Symbol/Motorola MC70. Anyways, I am in need of advice... we're locking down close to all features of the phones except the ones we need via Microsoft's Mobile Device Manager (SCMDM) and I would like to get rid of ALL of AT&T's bloatware. I have noticed the soft-reset trick before the customization begins doesn't work on WM 6.1, once it boots back up it just starts the customization over again. I am not against flashing the device and putting a custom ROM on, overall here's what I'm looking for:
No bloatware
Faster operation
Optimized for battery life
Best ROM & Radio combo for a barebones deployment
Anyone have any recommendations for a solid deployment?
I appreciate everyone's time, thanks!
- Adam
EDIT: I was able to skip the bloatware, pressing the soft-reset button before the customization notification did the trick. Thanks for the heads up, Corpse and Hacker!
Just a thought!
Im sure youre going to get tons of responses. Find a rom that you like and ensure it has a lite version, these are usually the fastest most efficient roms. Go to spbsoftwarehouse.com, they have an excellent software that will make it easier for you to install the same options for multiple phones. Or you can look into Sashimi. Either way you would have to CID unlock every phone if you want to install rom and software/radio from the sd card. I personally would use the spb version, unlock one of the phones and use the spb clone program to clone all the phones.
Just a thought!
Hey Hawk, thanks for the response! So you're saying I can completely unlock one device, install a new ROM & Radio, clone it with that spb application, then restore it onto all the other devices right out of the box (without pre-unlocking them)? If so, that may just be the way to go!
- Adam
The soft reset trick to remove the bloatware on wm 6.1 does work. I have a tilt with wm 6.1 w/o bloatware. Try soft resetting at different times. If I remember right, you reset as soon as you see the HTC Home screen.
Thanks Corpse, I'll have to play around with it a little more I guess!
- Adam
I just got the ATT Tilt last week. The soft-reset does work, but the timing is now different. Instead of doing it when you see the 3 second timer, you have to do it right when you see the home page, which is right BEFORE the 3 second warning screen appears.
3G, WiFi, and Bluetooth are the three major battery drainers. Installing something like Bandswitch would allow you to set those to deactivate after a certain period of inactivity.
Don't have much to say about radios though. It depends a lot on where you are and what is best for that area.
You may want to look at this thread and have something custom done,

To Clarify . . .

I have some questions regarding hacking the Shift. And before anyone starts berating me for not searching for these topics first . . . I did. I've been trying to figure this stuff out for weeks, but with all of the broken English (I mean no offense there) and the expert speak, I've become lost. I appreciate any answers at all.
1) Where are the factory settings for the Snapvue side stored? Are they hidden in the original ROM itself? I would assume so, but need to clarify.
2) If the above is correct, I would then have to assume that flashing a ROM would delete those settings. So if someone was to use ecshift.exe to try restoring the Snapvue side to factory default, after having flashed a different ROM, it probably wouldn't work right?
3) Does the community already have the original X9501 ROM? 'Cause I want to make a backup for my own uses, but will share it if the community doesn't have it yet.
4) How do you go about dumping the ROM? Pof's guide really doesn't explain much. I need a bit more to go on.
5) Does the dumped ROM include any personal information? Say, if someone was to set up an email account, does that get included in the ROM dump?
6) Can I flash just a radio? Or do I have to dump the ROM, build the new NBH, or RUU, or ROM, or whatever it's called, inserting the radio, and then compile and flash it?
7) I'm really curious about how the Vista side is able to interact with the Snapvue side (share the WWAN connection for instance), without the user doing anything. This probably is a bit broad of a question, but how does all that work? I mean, why does that work, but we need the USB Tool to get it to connect in other ways? Another question is way does ActiveSync only work when the WWAN is off? And do our carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) realize we're getting the laptop connect service for free?
8) Anybody tried getting a digitizer to work on the screen? Or, has anybody tried changing out the screen with a digitizer screen? I see a 7" digitizer LCD being sold on eBay and wonder if I shouldn't give it a shot. The problem of vectoring might still be there, because the Stealey processor and Photoshop just don't get along, but at least I'll have pressure sensitivity.
9) Lastly, how do I get a petition of sorts started? I see the option to "post a poll" at the bottom, but have no idea what this does. I want to get a running tally of everyone who would be willing to buy a 2GB module for the Shift. I would like to approach the major RAM manufacturers with some hard numbers, showing them exactly how they could possibly benefit, depending on manufacturing expenses. But if we get enough people involved, it may well be worth their while.
Thanks!
TopRowGuywithFeet
Nothing?
Wow. Is there really no one who can respond? Is the community/project dying for real this time?
It would be a sad day indeed. Especially considering the wonderful potential of the Shift. Why, just the other day I discovered that I can turn my Shift into a Mifi device and have every computer in my house connected for only $30 a month. Come on! That's awesome!
Bluetooth and SD card aside, it is a great device! Let's keep the project going!!
i try to answer a bit.
[1] there is no factory setting. just the default stock rom (if no custom rom has been flashed before) or the custom rom image.
[2] again, there is no settings at all. just the rom original state. if custom rom has been flashed, to restore factory setting means reflash stock rom (very hard to get). u only can use hard-reset term.
[3] pls check shift library thread. original stock rom is very hard to get. (i assume only service center have it & no updates available thru htc site )
[4] read it carefully. it is always hard to learn.
[5] no. just the original ROM image.
[6] yes, but what for. some custom rom need specific radio version to get it fully working.
[7] it has special modem interaction. usb tools is to connect the device to connect it with async/wmdc for different purpose. not for internet sharing.
[8] no idea. maybe will hv driver issue
[9] dunno what to answer.
thanks.
Thanks!
monx, you answered a good many of my question to satisfaction, I appreciate it! Anyone else care to shed some light on 4, 8, and 9? These are still lingering questions.
Another lingering question is:
Regarding 6, if I were to flash just a radio would all I have is a radio and no real OS?
Still Need Clarification
So, I finally figured out how to dump the Shift's ROM. I figured out how to turn the .raw files into a .nb and then use the .nb to create a .nbh. I have a backup of the original x9501 ROM.
Now I want to get the phone to work. I don't want to use someone elses custom ROM because I'd like to keep this somewhat legit. I'd like to make my own custom ROM, but want to simple get the phone working first. So . . . how do I go about doing that? Obviously, liberate, hardspl, but then what? Flashing just a radio won't do it right? Because there would still need to be some sort of registry editing to the OS? Anyone have a link to a guide or some info? Appreciate it.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'install drop files on device', I'll assume you meant placing files on the phone (using a USB cable) and then installing them. This is something you can't do right now.
Since we're talking about an HTC 8X, which doesn't have an SD card slot to install packaged apps (XAPs), your current only option to install anything on the phone is the Deployment tool (from the WP8 SDK), which is limited to unencrypted apps (so apps from the store wont work), and you can't have more than 3 of them installed at a time.

Wow, you ate a lot of words from there, I'll assume you meant "I'd like those people, who have an HTC 8X phone to write what they think about the device."
I own one. I was pretty happy with it, however I upgraded to another phone since. It's a really good phone, slim, light, has a ton of nice features, easy to use, etc. If you're coming from another platform be prepared to let go of some stuff you were used to having, as Windows Phone works on some slightly different philosophies. But there are a lot of ways a Windows Phone is simply better than other OS-es, in things like: UI responsiveness and speed, the amount of features packed into a device, and the live tiles are something I simply couldn't live without anymore.
Especially now, since the 8X's price dropped drastically, I still consider it a high-end phone, at least until the next wave of 5 and 6" phones come out.
As this is an HTC 8x related question mostly, It'd have been better placed in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-8x
