The same way as Mandt suggested before - go to Windows > Start Menu, and cut the ones you don't want on the start menu and paste them into the Programs folder. Then you can check the ones you want from Settings > Personal > Menus.

That happened to my appointments, and it was a result of Daylight Savings Time screwing things up, but it waas directly caused by having the "Automatic Time Zones" checkbox turned on on the phone. If you're lucky, you should be able to uncheck that box, verify that your time zone etc. is correct on the phone, and resync. I, however, had to make a backup of my phone using Sprite backup, then I hard-reset, restored the backup, but left out "Personal databases" from the restoration. I then made sure the Auto Time Zones box was unchecked, and synced with my computer. It was a pain, but it fixed the problem right up.

I think your signature just gave me an epilleptic seizure. Nice!

Yeah, that's a pain in the ass, mine did that too. Here's what I did: hard reset, then restore everythign from Sprite backup except the personal databases. Meanwhile, get an app for Outlook to delete duplicate entries (google for it; I used one called Mapi Lab Duplicates remover for Outlook or something like that) and get rid of them on that end. Then, resync your phone with the laptop and it should go back to normal.

I upgraded mine, and TBH it wasn't really worth it. I was under the impression (based on the instructions on the HTC America site) that I could do the ROM upgrade and restore a Sprite backup and all would be well. As it turned out, it didn't work as well as anticipated and I had to go thru hours of reinstalling etc. And when it was all said and done, I haven't noticed any difference whatsoever. perhaps the radio is better or somehting, but I didn't have a problem to begin with so I can't confirm that. After my ordeal, my brother did not upgrade his ROM and is prefectly happy with his, for what it's worth.

As far as the bloatware etc., the quick soft-reset before customizations still works just as with the factory ROM.

Not sure if it's of any use, as I have a Tilt that was doing the same thing, and it had to do with the automatic time zone check box being checked. For whatever reason, my Tilt got on a different time zone setting than my PC, and it changed all of the appointments on the phone to be an hour behind, even though they were right on the PC, and the time on both was the same. I had to do a hard reset, then did a sprite backup restore of everything but my personal databases, unchecked the automatic time zones checkbox, and synced with the computer. Then all my appointments etc. came on at the correct time.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me when i first got the phone. It was a new SIM card too, and for some reason there was oxidation or something on the SIM card that was not allowing it to make good contact with the terminals in the phone. Try pulling the sim card out, and rub the gold side on your jeans a little bit, then put it back in. Someone on a similar thread suggested a pencil eraser, but anything to polish up the contact side of the SIM card. If that doesn't work, you might see about swapping the SIM for a different one, or perhaps a hardware issue if all else fails.

Yeah, it's a bummer this never went anywhere. However, if you own a PSP, there's a guy working on something called Rosetta Shard which is moderately useful. I tried it, the demo set worked fine, but my Russian disk never did work right...anyway, he's still working on it so do a google search for Rosetta Shard PSP and you should find it.

That sounds cool, but it seems a bit more complicated than, say, Orb or something similar. What's the advantage here?

Go to Settings > System > Clear Storage, type in 1234 and hit OK.

It's not released yet, they're just collecting user info for when they do release it.

Take a look at this thread, as this has been an issue for a lot of people.

It may be a problem with the cube, I don't know about that. What solved it for me was disabling the task manager from the top-right corner of the screen, as well as turning off the HTC Home screen. Once I did that, the time and email worked fine. There are also some settings in the registry you can change either with a registry editor or with Kaisertweak that may help fix it, they're mentioned in that thread.

Could be, but give it a few days. Batti was sporadic with mine, would work fine for a while and then would go crazy and I'd have to soft reset.

I second this, Batti periodically screwed up my display exactly how the OP described. I doubt if Kaisertweak had anything to do with it. I uninstalled Batti, installed Vistahide Battery Gauge instead, and no more display problems.

Yeah, I don't know about the Touchflo Cube, but if you're running KaiserTweak you can turn off the animations in there (the setting is pretty self-explanatory).

Well, it depends on what you're trying to control... it does work as a bluetooth remote for your PC. Try this if you want to give it a shot.

Hmmmm, I don't know, my desktop uses an external BT dongle, and the server app found it right away from what I can remember (I installed it a while ago). I'll check tonight and see if there was anything special I had to do to point it in the right direction. Here's an idea: uninstall the server app, and then make sure the BT chip is turned on when you reinstall it. Maybe it needs to be able to see the chip in order to work properly.

Yeah, I use that Bluetooth remote you linked to, and it works fine for me. It does seem to be a little finicky at times, where it doesn't connect sometimes or can drop a connection, but for the most part it's decent (esp. for being free). Basically, you need to have the server app installed on your PC, and the controller app installed on your device. Then to use the remote function, you first have to activate the server program on the PC. If you don't do this, the phone will not see the PC as an available server and will not connect. Then, when you start the program on the phone, you'll have to point it to the computer to let it know to use that as the server, and it should connect. Also, once it makes a connection it remembers that connection, so as long as you've started the server app on the PC the phone will connect to it automatically on subsequent uses.

Hope this helps, it's a little squirrely to get running at first, but it really does work well once you've got it. Holler back if you have questions or if I wasn't clear enough on something.

Over at xda-developers.com, they have both the HTC original ROM and the Tilt ROM, they're in one of the stickies there.

I think the Windows Live app is pretty crappy, TBH. It does dumb things like make duplicates of your IM contacts, and is quite buggy. The push email also doesn't seem to work very well. I would recommend Palringo if you want a free IM app that works quite well (it still drops connection on occasion, but is pretty robust overall.)

Yeah, it's when you stop the "Installing Customizations" by a soft-reset. Hmmm, details...I only had the HTC ROM for a few days a couple months ago, I just remember when I changed back to the Vanilla Tilt ROM I was happier. I like the fact that it has the Sprite Backup built in (I'm too cheap to buy it), and it doesn't have things like the HTC Home screen built in, which, IMO, is more trouble than it's worth as it seems to be pretty buggy. Otherwise, the Tilt ROM doesn't already have the HSPDA connection option in Settings > Connections, which doesn't matter to me but some people want for battery reasons. The dialer screens are a little different, and I did like the HTC screen a bit more cause the buttons are a little bigger, but not a big deal. Otherwise, I don't really remember why else I decided to stick with the Tilt ROM, but I've been happy with it so far...I guess a good reason for a noob to stick with the vanilla ROM is that it doesn't require a HardSPL, which would make it easier to return the Tilt for warranty coverage (otherwise you have to reverse the HardSPL to revert it back to factory condition.)

For what it's worth...I got the tilt, and immediately flashed the HTC ROM to it. I found that rom to be a bit buggy (first thing that sticks out in my mind was the HTC Home screen, didn't work as well as I would have liked) so I flashed back to the Tilt ROM, but set up the vanilla version (without bloatware) and have been using that ever since. It seems to run quite well without all the additional crap AT&T felt the need to put on it. I also liked the fact that the Tilt ROM has Sprite backup built in - that IMO is a much more useful program than the Mobile Card Reader built into the HTC ROM.

So, that's my 2 cents. Oh, also, I think the AT&T ROM has a slightly newer radio driver version than the HTC, but I may be wrong (thought I read that somewhere).

Just copy the kaisertweak folder to your phone (should have the .exe and an .xml file in it) and run the exe straight on the phone. It's not an extractor or installer from the desktop.

It's basically a simple interface for making changes to the registry.

Hmmm, bummer. AS was one way I'd tried, and the IT folk here don't seem to know what I'm talking about if I mention imap or Pop, so I guess I'm SOL...thanks for the responses!
