I've finally gotten a Kaiser...

...and no I'm not going to ask everyone what's the best ROM or some such; I read the "Read Before Posting". I just thought I'd kind of introduce myself and allow people the opportunity to relive their first experiences vicariously through me.
But yea, I'm very excited to finally get my hands on one of these and I've got a serious amount of reading to do on how to get everything nice and nifty. Wish me luck!
I do have one serious question though, as far as physical aesthetic modification, how easy is it? I may want to repaint things and especially get rid of that awful AT&T logo. I'm assuming there are those out there that have tried similar things to what I'm thinking of.

Someone was asking this before, I think someone else was suggesting sugar cubes, but I cannot find the post... I'll keep looking.
EDIT:
Found It: Search this forum for "Sugar" there are loads of ATT Logo Removal threads

Hey! Thanks for lookin' out.
As far as actually repainting the whole thing, has anyone done it? Faceplate only, though.

I hate the ugly att logo, like most people. although honestly this phone doesnt look all that slick to begin with. The kaiser is an amazing phone, even more so if you know how to use it right xD
welcome and hope you enjoy it here.

I have the Stellar and I thought it was really nice looking when it came out. But since the Diamond / Raph, well ... what can I do
Dave

Hey everyone! I finally got my Kaiser yesterday and I spent all night and morning toying with it.
I'm now using HDIII and I've customized it completely to my tastes with all the different tweaks and such out there. Thanks for the welcomes!
It's so funny now, though, because after all this customization, I keep feeling like there's more I could do to it and I want to do it all, haha.
If I had known the Kaiser was capable of such things, I would've gotten one long ago.
[EDIT]
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to just tell me how to fix one thing. I probably could've searched it, which I did, but I guess I either did something wrong or that wasn't it. I wanted to change the screen where it displays the 'RGD' lines with the numbers. I thought that would be the 'welcomhead.96.png' but I guess that's not it. So, how could I change this? Thanks.

If you are talking about the little numbers in lower right corner when it boots, that's the software and radio version info it can only be changed with a different ROM.

That's the Splash screen, there is a post by pof and by -888- somewhere that will help you.

Not true. He wants to change the splash screen. Not change the numbers themselves. Its a simple flash and you are all set

rom flashing service

does anyone know someone who does a rom flashing service i just cant seem to get to grips with it and have 2 kaisers i would like done
thanks len

In my opinion, anyone that actually answers this and says 'Yes, I'll charge you $$$XXX for flashing the phone' is doing a disservice to the ROM developer, as they're the ones spending countless hours providing excellent alternatives to stock--whereas the person flashing would be making a profit off of, what, 30 minutes worth of work?.....
Be patient, read the wiki, there are lots of threads that tell you step by step how to flash a phone. Virtually impossible to brick one, and most important of all, you can make a donation to the person that matters, the ROM developer.
And besides, Flashing is fun!!!! You go to people one day and say "LOOK AT THIS!!!", and they'll roll their eyes...then you'll go to the same people the next day and say "NOW LOOK AT THIS!!!!"--and then they'll roll their eyes, this time impressed at your money metal flashing skillz...

sorry but i do not have the resources to do this i have spent hours already and i msuffer from depressive illnesses so i have very few reserve for this kined of thing as well as my wife four kids and everything else the world throws at us.
some of us need the help of those who have gone before to show us the way,
so please if someone could help me so that i can have a rom flashed phone i would be very grateful, if they want to do it free of charge i will send the phones myself i dont care just need some help

Hi sara i dont mind flashing your phone for you. Are u uk based?

Location would make help way easier to find.
I'm in upstate NY and willing to help.

hi thanks yeah i am in the uk where are you

Beware!
Dear Saranam,
If you need help with flashing ROMs please be carefull to whom you send your phone(s).
Make sure that it is someone who is thrustworthy, it would be a shame if you'd send it to the wrong person.
Hope you find someone thrustworthy who can help you!
Regards,
EquinoXe

That's a MAN baby!!!
I in no way meant any disrespect towards you--the comment was meant towards anyone willing to charge for the 'help'...look at the people with over a thousand posts, many of these giving up free advice at the cost of their own time...
Good luck finding someone

Follow this directions and in 20-30minutes and download all the files, you'll be flashing rom on TYTN II in no time. I would personally start with Hyperdragon'sIII or L26...'cuz they made even for starters like me. Give it a try... and then explore other GREAT roms. Why would you pay something when you can do it yourself?
here's the link....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
If you were close around, i would've done it for you for free....anyday.

i have spent hours and all my energy with this very thread to no avail it is not as clear as it says it is especially when things dont go as it says, if i was well and had the resources i could do it but as i have said i need help

thanks to all, i have finally managed to do it hard spl new radio thingy and something called hperdragon 111

wanabe......

hey peoplez, so ive seen how many rom's there are out there got the nexus one and i was wondering what would it take to build my own personal rom?
Make the phone MINE, is there a guide (i know what you thinking "damn rookie" but we all have to start somewhere right?).
So if there is someone out there that can possibly help me/walk me through doing it, it will be a huge help
thanks
Stu

Need advice on what to do.

Just bought a Tmo HD7 today and need some help on what to do with it. It seems that if I go and update the phone that if I ever want to throw a custom rom I would need to downgrade then upgrade again..sooo I was wondering if I should just update from Msoft or I should put a custom rom on already.
I also need help on a Tut if I do a custom rom because it is a little weird on the wording or I cant seem to understand. I also cant find the sticky for noobs to put a custom rom.
Thanks again guys.

I checked my bootloader and its a 1.xx .
I have been reading lots of comments and lots of people say that if you have an HD2 then you should stick with that.
I was wondering if I should take the phone back since it seems to be very closed sourced compared to the old Win-Mo phones.

there is a tutorial on how to do all that stickied on this thread. link is in my signature.

Thanks for some reason I couldnt find that one but it is really laid out thank you.
One more question: Is the phone worth it? I mean is the community going to have a long life or is it going to have a short one since it is so closed. I would like to keep the phone since it looks nice but if I cant really do anything with it I'll just stick with my HD2.

[Q] screen replacement

hey was just wondering if anyone has broke down the sprint htc hero because i dropped mine and put a huge crack in it. i know its old and all but i like to use it for music web and whatnot if i dont want to use the pc or laptop. but if someone could recomend a place to buy a screen or if anyone has an old bricked one or whatever the case may be let me know. oh and also how to take it all apart. ty

I'm sure there is a guide somewhere in the forums, but a simple google search brought something up. You can just go to the Instructables website and search for "HTC Hero Sprint." Sorry, but I would post a direct link except that I need to get my posts up.
