Follow-up: AT&T Tilt2 leaked ROM update

A leaked ROM update for the AT&T Tilt2 surfaced the other day and we've had a few days to tinker with it. The ROM is based on the 21887 build of Windows Mobile 6.5 and runs HTC Sense 2.5. Information technology also has an updated radio (4.49.25.95).

Compared to the original shipped ROM for the Tilt2, the updated ROM is noticeably more responsive. Sense 2.v flows smoothly and apps are pulled up with little or no delay. ROM Chefs, such as NRGZ28, take already begun to comprise parts of this build into their cooking. The ROM has potential but equally is, still has a ways to go before information technology tin can be stamped "official" ROM.

As is, it's a nice edifice foundation but you will need to install or update a few items. Net CF is an older version (v2.1) and to run more than current apps and modifiers, y'all'll need to install a more current version (v3.5). Neither BING nor Google Maps is preloaded. Function Mobile is an older release just the 2022 release is complimentary over at the Market place. Nothing critical but you'll need to spend some time loading some additional apps or updated versions.

To address the bloatware, y'all tin use Grime Scraper (requires .NET CF 3.5) to free up to 39mb of retentivity. I cull BSB Tweaks to help optimize the Tilt2 but other tweaks are available to help boost performance. I also installed Brian's Taskbar (requires SdkCerts installed) to assist add some colour to my notification icons.

Remember, a ROM update volition wipe your device make clean and then a data redundancy is highly encouraged. Also, read upward on any modifiers you install. Cheque and brand sure there aren't whatever required .cab files (e.one thousand. .Cyberspace CF , SdkCerts, etc.) because without them you can crash your Windows Telephone.

All in all, I similar the direction AT&T has taken with this update. Simply call up all is not lost if y'all update and don't like what you encounter. The original Tilt2 ROM is still bachelor over at HTC's Support Site.
