Some Tilt questions

[Paticakeman]

Im kinda upgrading from my wing to a tilt. A friend of a friend lol is selling his he has had for a month for $150 so I had to jump on it at that price.

I was just wanting to know if flashing a new rom on the tilt was pretty much the same on the wing?

And what is a good popular ROM you guys are using?

Thanks!

Best flashing tutorial is here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835

Go to the rom dev section for roms. One would think that the most popular would have the most hits.
But as in high school, the most popular isn't always the best.

I always think that hits = problems.

what is a good popular ROM you guys are using?Why not try the one it comes with to see how satisfied you are with that first off? I know denko7 has already replied but I was very impressed with his reply to another post relating to bloatware on the Tilt here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3212725&postcount=8). I cant really talk with regard to Tilts but as far as official HTC TyTN II ROMs go (perhaps with the keyboard fix on a Tilt), the oldies (WM 6.0) were the goodies.

Indeed -- I took off the bloatware on my stock 6.1 and I'm very happy with the results.

You can always install Manila, etc via CABS later if you decide to give 'em a try.

However, when my warranty runs out, I just might try a ROM or two :)

Ha Ha, I waited until my warranty ran out too. But I think that if I had known how easy it was and how much, much better my phone was going to run, I might have dared it much earlier.

There are SO many roms now. Definitely use the stock rom - minus the bloat- for a while and see if there's any thing you want to add.
I would like to know if anyone has a basic tilt rom with some preformance tweaks added? I'm to not interested in flashy, I just want good performance.

Check out NATF's roms, basic AT$T without the crap and fast.

I've had my Tilt for only a couple of weeks. I bought it from a friend for only $90. He upgraded to an iPhone. What programs would you guys consider the bloat that I should get rid of to gain free space?

[denco7]

Bloatware is the stuff AT$T crams into their roms. Someone at AT$T thinks we want this stuff.

Taken form the wiki. With bloatware and without bloatware

AT&T ROM Standard Programs

If you are thinking of sticking with the standard ROM, but getting rid of all the bloatware, here is what you get out of the box with the AT&T ROM both before and after bypassing the (bloatware) customizations. Note this does not include any of the programs on CD that you must install afterwards.

To bypass the customization install, do a hard reset, go through the Windows Mobile initialization steps (Callibrate Screen, Cut and Paste, etc..) then do a soft reset before the AT&T customization install starts.
NOTE - This will reset your device back the the original settings, which means any programs or customization you have made will be lost, including all of your Outlook synced info.

There are several ways to get your data and customizations back including backups, and resyncing, but there are many details to this process and it is beyond the scope of this topic. Your best bet is to decide upfront if you want the Bloatware and move forward from there. To help you decide, here is what you get under the Bloatware/Non Bloatware setups. Keep in mind that many of the programs included as Bloatware are trials, and if there are some you think you may want, you can usually find a link to them somewhere on the forum.

im riding on the hyperdragon roms. They're pretty nice visually and the touch flow is nice on the fingers. Another alternative is to find a fast rom and load up SPB mobile shell which just runs on top of your rom but works nice for navigation. then again you probably know about the mobile shell so i'd recommend hyperdragon.

[Paticakeman]

Downloading the newest Hyperdragon rom right now. Will it work with TMobile after i install this rom??

[sNowMaN432]

hmmm thats a good question. The service with T-mobile might coincide with the radio that the rom installs. Maybe you can cross-check your old radio with radios that work with the new Hyperdragon rom.

or flash a suitable radio that fits both requirments. maybe someone more knowledgabe will reply as well. lol

[Paticakeman]

haha yeah im gonna read some wikis so i will know whats going on. Flashing the Wing was easy. I have tried twice now with the tilt and im not getting anywhere. Stays on 0% then i have to take the battery out.

[sNowMaN432]

im just curious isnt the t-mobile wing that new phone with google andriod? isnt it supposed to be really good? alot of people here have spent time trying to mimic is operating system on the tilt.

its just my opinion but i think the tilt is overrated, i've had it for about 6 months.

[Paticakeman]

The Wing is prolly 2 years old now. The new Google phone is simply called the G1. Im starting to think im just going to sell the tilt and upgrade to the G1.
