Looking forward to improve the look and the usability of my Tornado and after that I saw the Com. Mngr. window of my brand new Orbit 2 (HTC Cruise), I decided to gather some information about how to port the HTC Wings (SP) Communication Manager to my old and faithfull Tornado and from all that search, i did a cab file to realize all this.
Maybe this could be implemented too at the upgrade of any WM6 versions from vjgrace, NiTroGenious, nncuong.
The down listed cab file upgrade the actual ComMgr to the new one from HTC Wings at the english language. See pictures below.
UPDATE to COMM Color
The new COMM Colors is faster due a new *.dll file, it does improve the application's speed, this one as well as the previous one, only shows 6 different functions/connections, but you can choose your favorites to display by editing the registry, all the icons to the functions are available:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
From 0 to 10 you can select at the first entries (0-5) the application/connections of your preference.
The standard entries after install are:
0: FlightMode
1: Phone
2: Bluetooth
3: WLAN
4: IR
5: DataDisconnection
This looks hawt!
Nicer than the one that never matches my WM black scheme.
I'll try this tonight before I flash...
Any chance you can port over the contacts look too?

When I look at Wings and Elf, the contacts look quite different than for Tornado. I know a bit of it has to do with them having more screen real estate.
But the scheme and layout look slicker.
So looks by HTC Cruise
I've tried it and it works well. Functionally it works the same as the others I've used. Aesthetically, it's a nice change. The "toggled" indicator light is cool and it matches the WM6 black theme that I love.
The Data Connection was greyed out, but I don't have a GPRS connection setup so that may be it. (On an aside, I just reinstalled my PC OS on my main PC, and the default spellcheck for Firefox is US "English" that tries to tell me that "greyed" is misspelt; it even tells me that misspelt is "misspelled". And here I thought the US was supposed to have been colonised by educated people... )
The comm manager has a flaw. However, the same flaw exists in EA's ROM and I'm sure Nitro's and vjgrace's...
Clicking exit, doesn't actually close the app(let). It just minimises it so the back button won't recall it. Celetask finds the process lallygagging around.
(I know this isn't your fault. Just a peeve of mine. Exit should mean exit. I hate teases. Man, I'm just so excitable tonight. I wonder if that has anything to do with why I have this nick?)

The Cruise, aka Touch Cruise, aka Polaris should look like the Touch because it's allegedly a variant (but so varied as to have it's own name and forum )
Here's some screenies from the Touch:
http://www.imobile.com.au/images/phone_reviews/htc_touch/touch-screenshots01.jpg
I'm considering getting this one [the Touch], as the Polaris will cost so much and I'm already seeing it locally on cragslist for $300-350.
This newer interface, which is common among the newer models, looks more like an interface, as opposed to a mini OS. Disguising WM maybe a smart move on the part of HTC.
The above pics only has the my people list, not the regular contacts. I can't seem to find a pic right now. But it looks like the comm manager, or the song list.
sorry, wrong posting...

Yes, the files CommManager.exe, CommManagerRes.dll and CommManager.exe.0409.mui will be overwritten, if you uninstall the cab you will get your old COMM Manager back.

The one that it installed over. i.e. the one that came with your ROM, unless you have installed something else over that one, in which case, I hace no clue, but do tell us how it works out ;-)
Looks very nice works fine but really slows down my phone which is SP5 running vjgrace 3.5 ROM.
Next question.....how do I know this is the cause ?
Removed and phone has speeded up.

Well, I don't really had that problem on my Tornado, I was using the same ROM version too, after I have updated to the last 3.6 version and nothing happens, may be you have a low program memory on your phone.

What do you mean by this? Too much installed on ROM, so low space? Something else using RAM?

hey ant c, i think i found a little bug crawlin around in the rom. dont know if it is just me or what. i have set up to access my wireless router at home. when i go through the comm manager and turn on wlan it picks up and connects no problem but, if i activate wlan from the icon on the today screen i can only find all of my neighbors routers which are locked. mine is nowhere to be found. like i said, dont know if it just me but you might want to take a look.
How are u activeing it from the today screen? the plugin??

Memory after hard-reset..
based on: midget ROM
main memory:35.9MB
program memory:>27MB
Really, I always wanted to get productive instead of flashing my halley berry(my black universal) after every 1h or so. I was spending more time flashing and setting it up.
This ROM is actually for those people who want all the important utilities as a part of OS itself.
Some highlights of this ROM..
*no crap in "my documents": this includes all the useless pics, nonsense sounds Actually, before this ROM, whatever ROM I used to use, this was the first thing I used to do that is, delete all this crap. yay, this means no "dog bark" sound !!
*It should be clean and usable for business purposes: Clearly, we have invested so much(put more stress on "so much!") on our device. That is why, no crap
*Vista skin for WMP mobile:thanks to Xcillion. This really makes me say, WOW! Infact, this is now the default skin of the ROM. see the second screenshot
*TCPMP: yeah! It is a part of ROM now. So, you save ~1.5MB(yay!)
*no bubble-breaker
*Adobe reader pre-hacked to VGA mode.
See the difference in the first screenshot given below
*Playlist editor inbuilt to the ROM:find it in the "utilities" folder. Now, you can make/edit playlists on the go
*USB HDD:find it in the "utilities" folder
*Pocket RAR:
*no "one note mobile":see the third screenshot. This is no more(anyone used it anyway?)
*soft keys mapped to contacts and adobe reader. The left soft-key says "my contacts" and the right soft-key says "my PDFs". Sounds windows..isn't?
*some really nice and beautiful themes are built into the ROM. I m sure, everybody would like them. See the 4th, 5th and 6th screenshots.
*on the other hand, the ugly looking themes which used to be built into the ROM are gone now. Yeah no guavas and no green theme
*the default ringtone just got changed! The ringtone is soothing now. I extracted it when I had a chance to beta-test the "atom exec"(~1y ago from now). Its lovely. I m sure, all of you will like it. And don't worry, the default WM6 is still there. Just by some other name
*no htc plugin
*no pim backup:accept it! all of us have better backup tools(somebody said, spb backup?)
Just a little request after hard-reset: you gotta manually go to the file explorer>>windows>>start menu>>programs and delete the backup folder from there.
I m somehow unable to delete it
If someone can mirror it, it would be benificial for the community

This ROM is based in Midgets, so it doesn´t have videocall.
I personally like the "Clean ROM" idea, having a customized extended ROM or my favorite apps cabs to install afterwards.
Beauty is a very discussible concept: p
seems like a nice release.
but why did you change the phone skin? the delete button still has its pink mask around it =\
and of course it would be unchangeable because its in the rom, so the images are read only.

Odd isn't. This pink portion should actually be inivisible. Actually, in photoshop, the pink(to be exact, magenta) is depicted by 255,0,255. This is not seen in WM5 ROMs. Mysteriously, this is still seen in WM6 ROMs
I ll try to come out with a path or something to overcome this. IMHO, it still looks way sexy than the O2 skin or tmobile skin, does not it?

a babe rom...
based on midget's....
i wanted to know....
there were some issues of Bluetooth handsfree usage with midget's roms. after a while... they do not acknowledge the commands given to the phone from the bluetooth handsfee unit. e.g. last dialed number, voice dial, hang up. etc.
is this all fixed?
Otherwise... the base rom is almost flawless.

Last dialed number: working
Hang up: working

Actually, my BT handsfree is always connected with my universal, so I can confirm what is working and what is not

Nope!!
Appreciate your concern...
i'm on your rom at the moment. have been testing since released. the problem still persists.
you are right... it does work for a while but after that... it starts.
i'm using Motorola H350 Hands free. its command button (you know the one on the ear piece) is dead and not working now. but the status of being connected is still appearing on universal. To get it work, one has to re-pair it.
while in this button un-responsive status; if a call is dialed from the phone, its voice & mic are flawlessly routed to the bluetooth handsfree but the call cannot be put on hang up/mute/hold or any function that the button supports.
this does not happen in other ROMs like Jwrightmcp's, helmis, pdaviet, darkforce or default WM5.
Only Lt. Cmd Ivan's ELF ROM and Midgets all builds have this bug.
i think there is some problem with this Windows Mobile 6 Professions CE OS 5.2.1413 (Build 17913.0.3.0)
i might be wrong but all tests have been done and problem is detected.
my request is if we could get this bug fixed. the ROM would be a Mega Hit.
Its speed is great (seems like the device is overclocked)
stability is good.
more device memory
garbage date removed (dog bark, bubble breaker etc)\
* battery drains quicker but is affordable
looking forward...

Now, thats odd. My BT handsfree works fine. Are you sure that the problem is not with the handsfree?
I love the idea of a clean ROM with only the truly ubiquitous apps in it - the only problem is that nobody agrees on what those apps are.
I think I agree with pretty much everything you've chosen apart from the Adobe Reader over Pocket XPDF. However, I like your stance of functionality for business - I need my Exec to give me the functionality I require whilst approaching the reliability of a proper phone - recently, it's been a great PDA, and a shockingly bad phone. Hopefully, the latest release of ROMs will improve matters.
Cheers,
Steve.
I installed the touchflo, it gets installed , but doesn't start etc. it needs somebody to get it working ,it doesn't seem all that far fetched like wm5 or wm6.it needs somebody from this forum to get it going . like they have done it on prophet, wizard,artemis, with some tweaking and alteration of biotouch file etc.cmon give some respect to the forgotten hero who started this transition from window mobile of being brick sized pda's to mainstream phone
Where did u download TouchFlo,cab?
it's all over, just download from these forums , it will be there in one of the wizard, trinity , prophet threads where they tried and succeeded ah somewhat , creating the touchflo work on their devices . u need to be logged in to see the link

TouchFlo on Magician
I installed GoodWin and FunContact from Vito Technologies. It´s a mix from TouchFlo and iphone and works fantastic. I now returned to my Magician and will sell my Charmer with WM6, it is also good, but horribly slow.

absolutely agree that Goodwin and FunContact is worth installing on magician or wm2k for that matter...IMO Vito should upgrade Goodwin to have more interactive home screen...now its seem that you have to scroll a lot because everything is in one page...
I didin't like this Goodwin, on my Magician it "half-worked", the signal strength and battery meter doesn't work and the button slide lock too, just when I start the program it appears and then never more. But I agree that the User Experience is fantastic. I am using the 2.03 WWE modified ROM.
Goodwin etc.
It is correct that the batterymeter and the signal strength don´t work, but with the lock-button i think you make a mistake: click on it with stylus or finger, hold it and drag it from the left side to the right side of the display, and the device will be unlocked so that you can work with it. I think batterymeter isn´t as important, i took the Power-button to Favorites to reach it easily for controlling the battery status. Another effect of the "half-working" is, that the timer to controll the testing period doesn´t work, too! So, for devices with WM2003, it´s Freeware!

Ok, it is locked just when I stard Goodwin, but how to Lock again? I was using Slide2Unlock very similar that locks the PDA everytime I Power Off the phone to stand-by mode, with Goodwin nothing happens when I power off and on.
why don't you guys try this out. just modify the includede ini file to match your shortcuts.

dude.. it's less than $20..I say just pay for it man..if u ever tried to write a program for a PPC2003 phone u'll know what a b!tch it's like...these ppl have put alotta effort into makin it work and the least we can do is show our appreciation... afterall.. this ain't TrashWare like a dodgy virus remover that installs the viruses in the "free trial" version just so u can pay them $20 to "get rid of it".. this is pure sweat and hardwork that someone's put in dude...and the lack of technical docs from M$ doesnt help either!
Otherwise.. dunno if anyone's mentioned it before, but a friend of mine intro'ed me to PointUI .. Alpha version just came out for PPC2003.. and it looks friggin schweet =) I'm usin it on my Magician.. definitely worth a look.. so far it's still free coz it's Alpha version

important!!! i am not the author of this software... i just found it and would like to share it to my current family (UNiversal).... hehe!
all credits go to the author, tobias.waldvogel in the athena forums! cheers! you made a working REAL VGA program! finally!!!!
what is good about the program:
1) you can choose 96, 128 or 192 dpi settings
2) all icons/notifications/etc can can be seen
3) texts in the today bar are all present! (signal, battery, clock, volume, etc)
4) now you can use the htc home plugin with no problem! (in REAL vga)
5) very very minor font issues
***I am not liable for hard resets! i just want to share! if you're not sure what you're doing, maybe you should wait for other people to try it first and wait for their opinion on this software
sorry for 1 link only... i cannot upload it here... tried about 4 times already..

Excellent find ! Works with my old trusted Darkforce rom. These threads are indeed a treasure trove. Keep finding excellent software.
Great software, thanks mate! Works with Midget_1990 v1.0!

Yup, confirmed working & stable in Uni after 3 days of use. HTC Home now displays better although notification counts still cut-off/partially hidden at 128 dpi. Most progs are compatible except in my case 1-calc.
Credit should be given to: tobias.waldvogel of Athena forum here at XDA-Dev on the thread pointed out above by fallenczar!
I'm interested to learn about the application of real-VGA.
Why we will be needing real-VGA where we have high resolution in PIE...?
been following the development of this app from the athena forum and this latest release is really impressive.
the original thread is vga 144. thanks to tobias.
My GOD!!!!It becomes qtek 9000 screen beautiful!!!!
Incredible work!!

First of all congratulations ranju for the nice ROM (judging from the posts in your thread)!
With RealVGA we get to use HTC Home Today plugin which doesn't display well in QVGA. A lot of today screen space is also realized as well as getting to see a lot more on the screen on other VGA-aware progs. The drawback is when non VGA-aware programs are run, the fonts (& icons) are veeery small to be read/seen.
Can't comment on games as I don't use mine for that kind of stuff, but some say that VGA games are cool in Real VGA!
can someone post the cab file here? it keeps bumming me saying the rapidshare download limit has reached

fallenczar had pointed to the link of the thread above!
Anyway, Real VGA by tobias.waldvogel, rather than uploading the cabs again here the thread is also worth reading.
Cheers!

I got an error: using higher resolutions, if I would like to set alarm, got error message: "No program memory available...".
Switch back to 192dpi everything is working normally.

YES! I also got this error!
And I found some error about Windows Live, the icon of MSN Messeger are wrongly displayed.
offiline logo = online
DND logo = offline
I've just downloaded and installed this file, and let me thank you for this.
And... Here is my two cents, i just wanted to share my experiences on how programs behaved in this mode.
The icons at SPB Today plugin doesn't display.
The Task manager icon is corrupted and is hard to click on it.
I've resetted my PDA twice since i installed this and both resets required another reset since it stuck at windows logo.
When i opened VC Painter.. well, it kinda crashed and i had to reset.
I've opened Pocket Artist, it works well except the icons at the toolbar can not be seen unless you click and wait on over them.
Opera seems better this way, you really enjoy browsing in fullscreen. Well, at least whilst opera "can" open web sites as it's supposed to be. I still am struggling for using meebo.com.
Minimo, the browser that i could barely have had any surfing experiences since it drives me crazy, is worse than Opera at browsing but works at RealVGA mode, well... kinda! (It crashed again when i tried opening a website.
The dialer skin doesn't fit the screen good enough. It has a blank space at down as big as the "Hide Keypad - Menu" bar is.
In this mode, viewing photos is a feast since you can view them in their original resolutions.
Resco Audio Recorder application denies the screen res. and tries to open like it was in back. It feels like they've coded their program to fill the screen according to ratios. Looks bad.
Wohoo! Keepass looks fantastic!
Novii Remote doesn't run at this screen resolution... *sniff*
pTravelAlarm's skin looks like crap, pity...
psShutXP feels more like real,
Voice2Go behaves just like Vito Audio Notes,
There're some minor font issues when i was exploring settings...
Oh and, it drains memory!

hi dreamtheater... i also had the same problem before...
i think these are the files i used for the htc home plugin....
htc home plugin: rt HTC home 2.0
htc home plugin customizer: HHCv08b.cab
this home plugin is the one with the 6 tabs... you can enable this using the customizer... you can also change the clock skins, icons, etc.
makes your home plugin look even better...
no other requirements except that you must be in wm6 for this particular plugin i posted (and in realVGA to get correct display).... i know i read somewhere that they were able to make a Cab to make the htc home plugin run on a wm5 device...

I tried to search but seems like forever for me to find a WM5 compatible HTC home plugin. Anyone kind enough to point me some directions?

Has anyone installed the Manilla 2D in HTC Wizard running a Windows Mobile 5?
I tried installing it in mine and after the restart, the HTC Home plugin vanished altogether and there was nothing else.
On checking the Today items, there was no Touch Flo listed nor the HTC home plugin I was using earlier was listed.
A quick check in the registry showed the entries for Touch Flo (and also for the vanished HTC home) present under the Today registry entries.
Does this thing work on WM5 at all?
Am I missing something?
NOTE: I also installed the shared dll cab file.

Why don't you say it?
always the same: a junior member trys a app, has a problem and opens a new thread (!) instead of posting in the right application thread or search there. frustrating and stupid.
Snniiff i have a wizard in wm6.1 , and i can t use manilla2D
This is a very Valid Thread,
But I will move it to the Wizard WM6 forum.
WM5 don't count on it, unless Dfereira comes back from sabatical
Also made it Temp Sticky because of it's current importance and interest.
Hope you guys get it figured out.
I have a wizard to Test out what you guys can dish out.
i try this
htc wizard accept install
but manilla2D don t play

This is now a Wizard thread.
Well here's what i'll be testing this weekend.
As i placed the new shared dll's into the rom i got no double file notice while using build OS.
So that means the files weren't there to begin with.
Which propalby means it's missing some registry entries to those files (besides the ones in the RGU file)
So that's the first thing to try.
After that it's comparing and comparing.
Volume did not work Start menu and Title bar did work.
Nice kitchen by the way makes a fast little rom so J.VD. Great simple Oem Pack, it's been two years since i cooked myself my own wizard.
No let's see if there's still some of the old Wizard Folk checking this forum, that have now turned cook that also want to return home.
Interesting
A moderator that has time to cook and for wizard men!!!
Hope it will be a good nice PRO try for TF2D in wizard, i think we cant do much cause the omap 195mhz so
GIVE IT A TRY is the cause of XDA isnt it?

if works i send you a hot brazilian chick as reward ;P
better then any buck on paypal
Nice, new serious topic for wizard.
Nice to see you here Noonski. i Hope porting its possible.
For my opinion : Manilla2D crash because DLL is missing or REg key is missing.
i will definitely be watching this .
hope it goes well
nice job in advance
waiting for the ROM
Really need to do some reading up first.
I'm thinking of using the Ext Rom a little bit differently.
Like move Some of the Skin files that don't need to be there.
Haven't seen that been done before
Just an idea, never tried it.
As for M2D at the moment, i would not bet on it. (don't want to set impossible standards at the moment)
That would really need Dfereira's experience for when he ported HTCHome to WinMob 5.
Maybe i can help.. If you need me PM me.
I'm also trying my best here and I'm trying some drivers from elf to see if it makes any differants.. we'll se how it goes and if I get anywhere it will also work on prophet
