This link here is to Part 1 of 2 Photo Slideshows ...
... that show Microlab's new Iolite-based WM 6.1 Manila TouchFlo 2D ROM in action. There are about 88 slides total, but the max size is 50 per slideshow, thus in 2 parts. I will post Part 2 tomorrow. I'm interested in knowing if this seems helpful to people, and if so, explain please.
LINK TO WATCH PART 1 SLIDESHOW (displays at Photobucket.com)
To see this ROM RELEASE thread, go here:
One thing you might note from this photo above: I choose to place my TODAY tab all the way to the right, and in the more customary "home" position I place PROGRAMS. Since my background is usability design, this is my reason, but everyone is different, and that's what makes these newer, easily customizable interfaces finally user-friendly for mainstream:
When I turn on my phone, I usually have something to do, maybe use google maps, maybe make an audio note. I don't care if I see the large clock telling me what time it is. I can see the time in the top task bar of the PROGRAMS page... but with PROGRAMS as my "home" screen, I immediately am able to finger-tap my primary apps without first having to slide to find the tab.
Second: If I do want to go to TODAY screen, it is half-a-second away, without even looking at my phone. I just slide the bottom tab-bar all the way right. It ends on "Today" so I don't have to slow down to make sure which tab I am on. These are my personal preferences.
In this Slideshow you will see: Phone with "Slide To Unlock 2", then "Today" page of the Touchflo 2D interface. Then a survey of Programs, People, Weather, etc, and use of tools like Total Commander.
I'm going to work out a way to tag each slide with a number or name reference so discussion can be posted about the functionality or controllable elements of any object on any page shown. For now, we will be winging it on the T-Mobile WING.

I like the rom exactly as done in your slideshow but the download link you posted shows a different rom. I am confused on how to make it look like the one above!
I like how the program menu is on the above rom, pretty cool!

That's a really nice looking rom. Thank you for sharing those pictures because they really give a better idea for choosing a custom rom.

Yeah, I know... I am new to TouchFlo, but I started searching on XDA for different themes/skins, and started to apply different themes.
There is an application available here at XDA called "M2dc" -- get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392 which enables people to very easily change their touchflo themes... by allowing people who know how to customize to export their themes as "m2dt" files (manila touchflo 2d THEME files).
Then: THIS THREAD has hundreds of themes you can choose from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
See post #6 where they begin showing the screenshots.
====
By the time I posted this slideshow, I had been experimenting with a bunch of these themes, but I do not know if I still have an m2dt theme file for this... because then I chnaged the bottom slide bar to be blue on white, for hiugher contrast, and then I chnaged the programs boxes from dark to light, for same reasons.
I will try to find the version in the slideshow. I changed the font size and colors -- which is also something you can do very easily with M2DC customization tool.

How to make opera mobile default browser?

Ok...i've been having some problems with this for a long time now, and now im' finally started looking into how i can change it. but does anyone know how to make the opera mobile browsers the system wide default no matter what programs are used? it seems like some programs use opera, while others (palringo) default to PIE. the funny thing is, even palringo doesn't always default to PIE its just a hit or miss.
i searched and found this
1) suggests changing Default Browser key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/: DEFBROWSER/1 to operal.exe from iexplore.exe (then soft reset)
doesn't work
2) opera:config --->install--->first time launch, save (exit then soft rest)
doesn't work
3) in the opera settings menu, there's an option to make it default browser (exit then soft rest)
doesn't work
does anyone know of a sure fire way to make it so that system wide whenever you open a url it always opens in opera? only other thing i found was xperia and a touch pro tweak cabs which obviously wont work on the kaiser.

Opera mobile official thread
Extracted from the official Opera mobile thread:
To set opera as default browser, Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\ EFBROWSER\1
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486502

You may try the cab in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418915
if you want PIE as default, install the FixIE.cab in this link http://www.windowsreference.com/win...xplorer-as-default-browser-in-windows-mobile/

thanx for all the tips guys, now that i've worked w/ my phone for a bit...it seems like opera is the default when using email, sms messages or anything else. the one thing that ALWAYS opens in IE is palringo. when clicking on a persons chat which contains a link you have two options, copy to clipboard and open in browser. it is possible that when palringo was developed, the default browser for winmo phones was defaulted as PIE...so even if you change the system default, it still doesn't effect palringo? this is the only thing i can think of that would make sense...

It's probably hard-coded into palringo if it isn't changed with the cab provided above.

resetting my device now, if it doesn't work...i'm gonna try n' find out from one of the mods on the palringo forum, usually answers tech questions pretty quik

Good luck then...

Well the easiest way to add opera mobile to your default web browser is by going to the settings and clicking on default option in it..

[2009-12-02] esperOS 6.5 28008 [lite ROM, Eng]

esperOS is meant to be a tight, no-frills lite ROM suitable for those using SPB Mobile Shell, or those who just want us much RAM as possible to install your own cabs.
It is also brand-free, there is no 'esperOS' in the startup screens. I want it to look like a stock HTC ROM.
Please refrain from asking for additions, unless you can make a case that it is essential for phone operation
As for the stuff that's there, let me know if you find a newer version that can be cooked in -- I tried to keep all the HTC goodies.
Please report bugs.
Includes Office (minus OneNote), NetCF 3.5, Widgets engine (but no widgets, install your own), Chome, DRM
Apps:
Accessories folder: Bluetooth Explorer, File Explorer, Notes, Tasks
Connections folder: Dopod SIM Manager
Games folder: Solitaire
Media folder: Audio Manager, AudioBooster, Camera, Pictures & Videos, Windows Media
Navigation folder: QuickGPS
Office Mobile folder: Excel, PowerPoint, Word
System Tools folder: ActiveSync, Internet Sharing, Search
Calendar
Contacts
Internet Explorer
Messaging
Phone
Control Panels:
Personal: Buttons, HAC Setting, Key Lock, Owner Information, Phone, Sliding Sound
System: About, Certificates, Clear Storage, Device Information, End Key, Location Settings, Managed Programs, Memory, Microphone AGC, Power, Regional Settings, Remove Programs, Screen
Connections: Advanced Network, Comm Manager, Connections, Domain Enroll, Eternal GPS, USB to PC, Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Clocks & Alarms
Home
Lock
Sounds & Notifications
LINK: ftp://burtcom.com/esperOS/
--slow home server, so be patient. Also, it might be better to use a FTP client (like FileZilla) to download instead. Use logon anonymous with your email as password.
No screen shots -- looks the same as any of the base 6.5 ROMs floating around.
Caveat emptor! the usual warnings apply -- use at your own risk, etc.
esperOS is built with OndraSter's fabulous osKitchen.

good luck with your first rom. downloading now and inform you later

Unable to open archieve.
tried all the decompresser and got an error msg. stating the archieve is not valid. Can you upload it again? Mirror would be excellent.
Edit: Second attempt downloaded successfully.
Thanks,

burtcom, thx for your work! Could you post screens and info ?

Sounds like it could be good. I will download and provide feedback later. Thanks!

Update: removed HTC volume control.
I removed the HTC volume control because I didn't like it, so it now uses the stock control.

No screens -- it really is plain-jane
I added specifics about what is included on the first post.

23089 is up
Visit the link on the first post for version 23089.

can someone take some screenshots?

Don't we already know what a stock 6.5.1 ROM looks like?

looks interesting might check it out
might be good to add xda_uc to make rebuilding the rom quicker since this is for people that are cab crazy like myself

I will try this rom.
Any bug with this rom 23089??
Good work friend.

I noticed only one bug so far with 23088/23089, and it's pretty minor...
When you install a cab, you can't use the Dpad to select if you want to install to Device or Storage Card -- this screen works with touch only.
like I said, pretty minor

burtcom
good job, this is the first clean rom that I found and installed on my Tytn II.
Bugreport:
I cannot connect to my secure wifi network, and cannot connect to the internet with activesync connection.

28002 is up...

Help HTC Touch Pro II wm 6.5

Hello,
I've used to have the MDA Vario III (htc tytn II) with wm 6.1
Now I have the MDA Vario V (htc touch pro 2) with wm 6.5, but I can't get used to it.
At first I really miss the opportunity for changing the soft key buttons (in the left and right at the bottom). I've already donwloade an app, but i doesn't seems to work in HTC sense.
And also want to turn off that annoying touch keyboard (does anybody know how)
I also want the HTC home app back from wm6.1 (but when I install the app I have to do a HARD reset")
And then HTC sense. It's totally not adjustable and so borring. At your home screem you have the right soft key called internet. I want it to open opera 10 beta, but it only opens the standard internet feature which htc has installed.
I've tried SPB shell but that doesn't also work proparly, when i soft reset of restart the phone it doesnt show, it shows htc sense. I have to activate it first in settings.
ALso I've looked a bit around on google and this site, but I really don't get it how to change the skins and what touchflow is, or manilla.
Can anybody explain it to me.
Or can anybody gove me tips to adjust my phone so that I can adjust it to my personal needs.
I thanl you in anticipation, and sorry for my nad English
ps. Is it possible to rotate your screen by using your g-sensor? like the N-97?

TouchFlo/Manila is another name for HTC Sense. If you want Mobile Shell, you should uncheck TouchFlo (or whatever it is called) in Settings>Home>Items, then it should start automatically after a soft-reset.
For other home screen alternatives (Androkkid, iPhoneToday etc.) look in the Dev&Hacking forums (Windows Mobile Applications and Games), for skins and themes look in the Windows Mobile themes section, for device specific things look in the Rhodium (=Touch Pro2) section .

@livven
Is it possible to adjust the buttons in htc sense or something which works with mannilla?
and how do I install such another skinn?
I thank you in anticiaption

Just some custom slider icons or what do you mean? There are many more of these, use the search !

I want a totall different HTC home
This must be shown
Time, agenda and messages, I also want a something like programs in sense
And the internet button of hts sense must bechanged in opera 10. And I wan't the screem lock bar back again in the screem
like the first picture in your link.
You see a clock, four icons opera-messages-explorer - (hope they work)
And then you have the different tabs, I search something liek that but I don't know where to find and how to install.
And the buttons must be on the left opera 10 beta and on the right wmplayer

something like this

You could use iPhoneToday (mirror if you can't download from RapidShare) for launching apps and TodayAgenda for appointments and tasks.
Also, you can try out S2U2 (Slide to Unlock 2), which adds a customizable lock screen with appointments.

I know S2U2, i don't like the porgramm. also I don't like the Iphone look, if I liked it I should have bought an Iphone.
I want to know how to adjust my home screem with the buttons, and how to install al those skin which are shown here.

First of all, demanding is not how it works. If you want to know something, ask politely and thank people for any answer .
Also, you should've checked out my links. You said you want an agenda - you can get this with S2U2 or TodayAgenda. And iPhoneToday can provide you with information about new messages, and also display icons to launch apps - for example Opera Mobile. If you want other things, you can also search for Androkkid or look on freewarepocketpc.net.

This ROM have preinstalled apps: 1calc, pmcleansp, documents to go, messenger, resco explorer, celetask, internet sharing, registry editor, java, notepadx, smartsearch, sim manager.
NEW Start Menu icons, NEW MediaTopBar, lots of Free RAM ( 24.70MB after SR, 26.77MB after killing AS), >36MB Free Main Memory (at clean system)
Bad mapping ID (Fn+h don't give EURO) - repair: go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409\ an change MappingID to 0x410(1040)
Now that's all
Best regards!

I have flashed this version and there is no wifi Button in wireless manager !!
It seems that the wireless client is not initialzed or perhaps a driver problem.

make Hard Reset

Does it work for Samsung Jack i637?
Is possible to change to Spanish?

I made hard reset.
No Success. No wifi at all !

try soft reset a few times - must work!

Please explain how i can soft reset the device ?

...
click POWER button then click 2

Thanks.
I am running crazy soft resetting the device but i have no luck to activate wifi.
Perhaps the wifi clients in the i600 are different.

Quick review
I will start with a quick review for the ones that are not familiar with WM6.5 EN 20100401 by py8.
The homescreen come with included Titanium panels, the Declacy Panel and the Card Wheel from WM6.0.
Preinstalled apps: MSN Messenger, Windows live, Java emulator, NotepadX, Adobe Reader LE, Dataviz Documents to Go (Word, Excel and SlideShow), 1calc, PmCleanSP.
CeleTask is present as Task Manager, Resco File Explorer as default explorer, and Resco Registry Editor.
Contacts has integrated Sim Manager for backup and restore.
This shabudabu version brings a new look for that ROM.
With new icons in start menu, even is not animated and with a new top status bar (battery, signal, profile, new message...) shabudabu give to old i600 new look.
Problems to solve:
- In my case, the WiFi is not show in Wireless Manager not even after a hard reset with a clean ROM.
- Today, my phone freeze during a call (no sound in conversation), worked after a soft reset. This strange "bug" (i don't know is anybody had the same problem) that appears sometimes was also present in old shabudabu version.
- As thorn_pl said:
Bad mapping ID (Fn+h don't give EURO) - repair: go to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\ an change MappingID to 0x410(1040)
windows live messenger won't work (can't log in after reinstall app works fine), in resco explorer (when copying files) i see chinese text.
- Battery drain a little to fast as usual, but maybe is just a felling, not take it as a bug.
Suggestions:
The shortcuts from py8 was ok. If you can at long press or message key to change light to "level 1" instead to turn off the keyboard it would be great.
Resco Photo viewer as default photo viewer.
Great work anyway. All the best!

Shabudabu can you change background to white in start menu or make transparent icons?
BTW another preinstalled app is Phone Canvas 2G and Mortscript
Best regards

I like this rom. I installed few minutes ago, i dont have a big problem yet... Wifi enabled and worked on my i600..

I cannot install shazam from market place... when i try to install, shazam gives "there is no support GDI+" error.
