I think softkey is more practical because this seems to only work using the stylus.

Interesting. I will give this a try. Thank you.

Excellent work! Thank you very much!

tested it and it works! thanks.
Great. . .nice addition to our wizards functionality. . .

Great. Have to try.
How can i upgrade my mda vario2 aku from 2.3 to 3.0 ?? Will the nbd rom work on aku 3.0??

Thanks for new Cab, work great on wizard.Thanks

i installed the CAB on my k-jam NBD 7.9 n it's not showing up using the finger move

how do you turn it on then ?

i have the same problem. no button like in the nbd threat. i must activate it with a button, which i choose with soft key!
any ideas?

it's always on and just press inbetween the to spftkeys and do a slide down
and it can be done in any window or program ... but needs some practis to get it working evry time

WOW this is very nice really WOW.
thank you Bro and Thank you Zoki for recomending this to the your NBD 8.3

NBD is a WM6 branch ROM, which is beyond WM5 AKU3.x

wow, this will save me one extra softkey to use. Hopefully it works to my liking. Thanks gullum.

Buttonless CUBE
MIne works a little TO WELL. NBD has added Buttonless Cube by default..and the cube keeps popping up at unwanted times..since it's part of the rom I can't just uninstall the cab file so how can I DISABLE the buttonless part and go back to just using the softkey?

just delete everything in this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]

pay attention to the warning about the black default theme...didn't really read it...installed cab...only to have a phone that wouldn't boot, so had to hard reset...otherwise, this seems like a useless for cab for those using the cube...

Thank you for your prompt response. I exported the reg and will look at it further after I finish configuring the rom and software but the cube popping up every 3 seconds was driving me insane.
I have a tmobile mda [vario] (htc wizard) and I tried the registry entries from first post and the ones in NBD 8.3 by default (some values were different) and it was way to sensitive.

you can change the "fingerpressure" key to be less and the cube will not show up as often, or the "boundry" to make it have to slide longer or shorter to make the cube show.

Has anybody found a way (maybe somewhere in the registry) to turn this thing up-side-down?
I mean:
Is it possible to activate the cube by sliding up from the softkey-bar (instead of down)?
And of course: close it by sliding down (instead of up)...
I know these are two different things, but why not ask both at the same time?!

Customize Wm6 colors?

Im comin from wm5 and Ive been comfortably using UI Tweaker to edit my upper lower taskbars. Im wondering does this work with wm6? Or is there a UI Tweaker for wm6 or a similar app that will let me customize the wm6 upper lower taskbars?

There is no new UI Tweaker specifically for wm6. Most of it's features work with wm6 with a few bugs, but I don't remember if the taskbars do.

I used to have a cab for it that was a program and it lets me set custom top and bottom bars.. just wish i could remember the name of it.

Here it is lol i found it..

thx man!

thanks
thank you
u really helped me

FYI - Doesnt work for WM6 Q9C Verizon Wireless.

O2 Orbit 2 - Tray

has anyone figured out how to remove the comm manager and the battery icons from the tray?
these are the programs in my windows\startup folder
PKG.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
sdim.lnk
TPStartup.exe
if it is not one of these and they are loaded from the registry - is there any way to prevent them them from loading from the registry?
thanks

Did you search? I posted a howto on this.

here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368836&highlight=system

fair point about the search!
thanks for your help - now solved.

while this is being discussed... has anyone figured out how to disable the whole taskbar and not just specific icons? I know it disappears if there are no icons to display but there are other apps that put icons there... tomtom, task managers etc etc it would be simpler to just disable the whole thing right?

i moved a file called "O2 Custom.lnk" from the \Windows\Start Up folder to my storage card (just to back it up) and the tray went away. however, since i'm now running bepe's .53 Non TomTom WM 6.1 Rom, it's no longer an issue for me. hope this helps!

Nice one cortezzi!

[ROM] CR96 Touch HD™ 2.0 by RoryB

I have begun reaching beyond my continuation of S.V.I's great Angel ROMs and will start looking to WM6.5 and 6.5.x ROMs.
I will be standing on the shoulders of Cracing's work with CR96 ROMs.
I add Smartskey, QuickMenu and xTask. I update to dotFred TaskManager version 3.3 too.
Some notes:
At home screen, left soft key is Start. Quickly tap image or touch left soft key and the honeycomb start menu comes up. Long press the left soft key and QuickMenu comes up.
With the honeycomb menu showing you can long press the right soft key and it will close, but not permanently like it used to. I figured out the exception for smartskey.
My ROM parses SDAUTO without SDAutoRun, but you need to make this change. Copy SDConfig.txt to SDAUTO folder and rename to Config.txt. Edit the file to remove HIDE:, RESET, LOCK, etc. Change CAB: to MCAB: without a space after to allow manual install of the cab. Change CAB: to SCAB: without a space after to allow automatically selecting to install the cab to the storage card.
If you do not create a Config.txt under SDAUTO, my ROM will parse the SDConfig.txt in the root, but it will ignor the LOCK and HIDE commands so all of your cabs will install automatically where ever they install by default.
In most of my ROMS I have started to use the Extended_ROM for more stuff to install. I have not done that with Cracing's. BUT, if you have a Config.txt in your Extended_ROM it will get parsed. I suggest you use the ROM with the empty ExtROM included. If you do not want to overwrite your ExtROM I include a version with no ExtROM.
I haved switched to Connection setup so...
Connection Setup, Data Base Cabs
15.0144 : Link ( From Topaz 1.43.720.1 ROM ) ( Taken from Indian Device, STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR INDIAN USERS )
15.0137 : Link ( From Topaz 1.40.707.1 ROM )
Note #1: Connection Setup don't work without installing the data base cab.
Note #2: Install the latest version data base cab and use the connection setup from settings -> connections.

1.9 m2d rom
From Cracing's CR96 Touch HD thread.

Thank you for this. I have been learning more about WM6.5 through your kitchen. I have cooked this with some changes. I added Smartskey, QuickMenu and xTask. I update to dotFred TaskManager 3.3 version.

This is Cracing's ROM from the kitchen he posted, the only things I changed are listed above.
Later I will be tweaking to improve anything I can if it is possible. Right now it looks to have 17 to 18 MB RAM free and about 35 MB Memory free.
Here are the final versions. Sorry the best I can do is still 16 to 18 MB RAM.
I did update some things and added Adobe Reader, so I took out the games.

Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded
Here are two versions of Cracing's last kitchen.

See first post for some notes.

Another spare

And another

can you tell us more about the rom? what programs have, how much free ram?

Good job, RoryB!
I have been busy, but will try your ROM.
My real interest is the RC5 kitchen, since RC5 is my all-time favorite 6.5 ROM.
I can do little things, like update the apps, but I've always struggled when trying to update OS.

I have played a bit with this released version. Cannot seem to get more RAM. I have tweaked a few things in and out. Probably will release a final version next week.
Will skip Extendir for now since it is in flux at the moment.
So, I will start looking at Cracing's other kitchen release. Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded

You can build a multi-language ROM with the Italian language? I also want to learn it yourself but I need help. If you want I can help with the translation into Italian.

I apologize. I do not know how to build for other languages and my kitchen is manual. I mean it is not visual kitchen where you can select languages. You have to put the correct OEM and ROM folders into the batch to build different languages.

It has some interesting changes.
At first glance, I think I like the original look better. CRACING always gave the roms a look that could pass for an official rom, and I liked that. Yet some of the new things are useful. So it's a trade-off.
Battery bar: useful
Memory bar: useful
Quickmenu: Useful, but it makes me pull out my stylus.
Smartskey: excellent! CRACING used to include this, but stopped when it had problems with 6.5. I'd rather it start the 6.5 menu instead of quickmenu.
Icons of running programs: handy way to switch tasks, but clogs the top bar, and not touch friendly. Alttab is better.
Digital display of free memory: seems redundant to me.
Task manager change: I like the old one better.
File Manager: I don't like the change in the folder selector.
Seems to have decent free RAM. I wonder what it would be without the add-ons.

I see that most of the new things I commented on are configurable parts of the newer task manager. I think I could grow to like it

I tend to create basic black ROMs.
QuickMenu can be configured to have larger items to be more finger friendly.
If you exit QuickMenu, Smartskey long press left will open the honeycomb. Old version start menu does not seem to exist in WM6.5
Yeah I am still thinking of going back to the older version of dotFred's task manager. It seemed cleaner in a way. Delete fexplorer.exe and the original should come up (I think)
xTask can be configured to not show the digital memory readout.

I'm using CRACING's rom Version 6.5.0.3.3 RC5 Reloaded and while using opera mini 5 it stops, it takes 10+ seconds to work again. This happends often, in your rom opera freezes? In another rom this didn't ocured.

I used UCWEB instead of Opera. Are you running low on memory before it stops?
Can you try closing M2D and CHome to see if Opera still gives trouble.

I closed M2D and Chome and nothing changed. I like the rom, is very fast but the opera problem is annoying. Nobody else experienced this strange behaviour in opera mini final version?

I found another bug in CRACING's rom: I can't set the alarm clock to AM or PM. LE, I fixed that. The problem was that I changed the regional settings to romanian and there wasn't checked the symbol for AM and PM.
