Place for Newbs to get Started-Want Tilt to Look Like Touch

[afavre]

Any advice? I am new to this whole thing. Have done some overclocking and what not on my PC, but this is a whole different game.

What types of things can I do without risking really f'ing things up?

What I hope is the simplest things I was hoping to do was to make my TILT screen look like the HTC Touch.

I thought about downloading Dutty's tweaks, but I am thinking I might be out of my depth starting out.

I would like to learn some things, but don't want to annoy the veterans that are here. Any direction would be appreciated.

Thank you.

What you could do is read, all the post people have put to do exactly what your asking. All the info is there you just need to search and read or use the wiki.

Have fun

Download and run HardSPL on your phone from:

Then choose a dutty rom to install, since you are on a tilt try:

This is all you have to do to have a fully functional htc looking rom with the touchflo cube with the newest drivers and radio for AT&T. I am using this one on mine right now. This rom has everything that you will probably need already installed. Anything else will just be for personal preferences. This rom has an advanced config program which is great but also download kaisertweak for some nice settings.

Thanks for keeping it simple for the newb. I read a couple of things about the "radio" portion being an issue. What does the "radio" tweak mean and will a HARD RESET fix problems if I decide to revert back?

The radio that comes with this rom will be the one you need. A hard reset only reinstalls the rom you currently have on the phone so to revert back you will have to choose another rom and install it. As long as the rom you install is an AT&T one or one made for the tilt then you won't have to do anything with the radio. If you change and use an HTC ship rom or one of dutty's other roms then you will have to download another radio and install it. Radios self install the same way as roms do.

This is the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser

On this page is the link to the ftp area where you could download the older radio if you decided to go to a non tilt rom.

Did you have any keyboard problems when doing the HARDSPL and installing the dutty rom. Also, which of the dutty roms did you install? Beta 2?

I am still on the Beta 1 and have been too lazy to changeover yet as Beta 1 is solid.

If you really want a good "How To" check out Mr. Van X:

Every place he says "Hermes" you just think "Kaiser" or "Tilt". All the steps are the same. It is a great walk-through. He has you download the .net framework first. I know I didn't have it. Then he steps you through hardSPL and finally the ROM.

A few weeks ago I followed this exactly and have never had any troubles. Why a walk-through like this is not in the Wiki for the Kaiser/Tilt I have no idea. It'd be a lot more helpful to newbs (like myself) than the forum fav response, "Read Dammit". :)

Why don't you write an entry for the wiki? That's how the Wiki is updated and maintained, by contributions by everyone.

I just used HardSPL and Dutty's Hybrid Rom No 5. I'm not sure what the difference is from his Tilt Beta version but I tried both and decided to go with the Hybrid. Point is, until last night I did not know what a Rom was. I read the forum and followed the directions. Here are links to what I used.

HardSPL (you need to do this first). Everything you need to know is in the first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679

Then find a ROM. I downloaded several including the stock ATT rom just in case I decided to go back. The steps for loading a ROM are almost the same as HardSPL, just follow the directions on the screen.

This is a link to Dutty's Tilt Beta ROM (all you need is the link to the ROM at the bottom of the first post). If you want to try Dutty's Hybrid ROM, scroll to the 3rd post made by username "alltheway" and click on the red Hybrid No 5 Rom link in his signature block.

It is very simple to do.

I have been reading through the posts, and I can't find if I must SIM lock my phone before trying to install Dutty's ROM. On my 8125 the general concensus was unlock both. I don't have any need to run other radio's on my phone, and I won't be traveling out of the US.

Also I am currently running SPB Pocket Plus 4.01. Should I do a hard reset before trying to CID unlock and load of new rom?
