Just crappy ugly "NEW" comm manager

Hi there,
can anyone tell me how to get rid of this UGLY "NEW" comm manager style? Anyone like it? Iam really scared of the graphics which can some people cook into their roms and new version of OCTAVOI has this version of commman too, so its the hell on earth for me! like someone steal my candy!
Is there a ROM based on new build which has not USELESS things cooked into? I just want new build with original Microsoft/HTC/Touch/Cube graphics!
I dont know if this comm man is originally styled by HTC if its true so its first styled component/application i dont really like and it sucks my blood...

i second that but then that would only mean that we would have to help the chefs on this site. they offer us cooked roms with many customization. im sure they dont have time for graphics so lets get sometalented members to help out make the future roms look sexy. perhaps we can have a graphics area for all the phones since there many that would be comon.

Look for the 9 button or 10 Button Kaiser CommManager. Thats what I use in XM6 and is what you are asking for. I agree, I don't care for the other commManager's looks (although, the "Nuclear Powerplant one" you point out isn't too bad but I still like the other).
I'll look to see if I have a cab, but I have the packages (and they've been posted here. I know theloon's kitchen for the 318 rom has the Kaiser CommManager package and that can be used on any rom you cook (its not 318 specific).
I am curious why you want it on a "newer" rom build? Personally I've found the 318 rom (even though its "older") much more stable than the "newer" (higher number) builds which are all ports from other devices. I'd be curious what is in the newer stuff that you think is better (not a trick question, just wondering what I'm missing or what I can look to improve in a 318 build).

Agree! I'm using already two weeks mfrazzz's (thank you!) XM6 R3 (OS 5.2.318 Build 15342.4.0.01). No issues! Everything looks good and works great and fast! Even screen calibration bug is gone. C'mon flash this ROM and be happy, there's actually nothing better in versions with higher numbers!

The thing that i really hate about it is this red/greed circles. It is absolutelly ugly in my eyes and this have not to be in such pretty graphics. All is in one style done with perfection and this is what breaking all. Also the ON/OFF text isnt great there.

Its nothing special with roms i think. Its something in me. Specific HIGHER NUMBER SYNDROM ;-) ... but you all are true. I missed reading what are the advantages and just flash, but what was the best rom ever? For me it was faria's AIRAF Stable, great, but missing OneNote (i though that PS's Office2007 can install it to WM device). So the answer is: The bug in me

Hey man, just downloading it, im currious if it will be okay for me. I just want the HomeScreen plugin (this big clock are great and well styled so it fits my needs) and also the Touch/Cube graphics is perfect, but i dont know if its available in .318 versions.
GUYS THANKS FOR REPLIES

I actually quite like the look (the so called Nuclear Power Plant) and was wondering if anyone had a cab for it. To me it is simple and clean. I'd love to have it over the one I have now which is the 10 button.

Go over to the Kaiser forum and there is a sticky for a list of cabs. Dutty has a site where you can download cabs, and I believe this one is there. If not, ask in that thread and someone will probably have it for you.

Found it, unfortunately it won"t play nice with my Wizard. Thank you for the linky anyway.

Include touchflo 3d in upcoming roms?

Since the release of the drivers there has been developement in beta of the touchflo 3d for the kaiser hopefully somebody can incorporate it into their next rom

Forget the bloody touchflo 3d, you can't actually do anything with it!

I think that touchFlo 3d doesn't really improve the quality of the ROM, it will be much like touchFlo cube. However I think it will be a nice visual and good to experiment with.

yes, I do think I would enjoy flicking my way through my text messages

no until it is proven working & 3D driver is finalised by HTCCA.

My thoughts exactly. Why cook an app that isnt even working yet? All Qvga is now is proof of concept. Way to early for primetime.

at least research it, it makes the experience quite unique not just the cube

I voted YES..BUT....
Even know I voted YES, the app only looks cool, but that's it. There's nothing really useful in it, on the contrary, read and navigate through email or text messages is ridiculosly uneffective. I think it should be added in ROMs only if it's perfectioned and made work as it supposed to.

----------THIS IS A STOCK ROM WITH ALL THE CRAP REMOVED, A BUNCH OF REG EDITS THAT YOU WOULD NORMALLY DO WITH KAISER_TWEAK OR ADVANCED_CONFIGURATION...
----------IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE APPS I HAVE INSTALL DURING CUSTOMIZATION YOU CAN DELETE THEM USING THE WINDOWS MOBILE APPLICATION MANAGER...
Hey boys and girls,
I have been working for a few days on this ROM for you all. Well its more built for my buddy Kavi, but I thought i would share with you fun people Its based off the HTC OEM release 5.2.19212 and has MANY MANY bug fixes!
I'll start with the list of installed apps at first run, remember these apps CAN be uninstalled thats why I have them run at customization!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Not in Install Order)
- Pocket_RAR
- Opera Beta
- VisualGPS
- New Task Manager
- Adobe PDF 2.5 (From Diamond)
- BeeJive IM
- Random Access
- Advanced Config (shaps)
- Diamond calculator skin (Blue and Black looks really cool!)
- Google Maps (New build from Xperia)
- HTC_Album
- Start_Clean
- T-GPS (really interesting GPS app, Not sure how it works since I haven't played with it much but many have given it great reviews)
- Total Commander 2.5
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*All .EXE's have been compressed and optimized to save every last byte of space
*ClearType is fixed using the 3.10.00.00 DDI.dll
*All Diamond RingTones
*All Extra crap removed (Windows Live **** is gone, CyberTron Speed Dial, Network Configuration, SIM Manager, Sample Pictures and crap)
*New GPS drivers (Well they are the drivers from WM6.0 when the GPS worked great, I also did some work on the .dll's for better GPS performance. You won't find these drivers any place but in my roms, Well until someone rips them out and calls them there own)
*TONS or REG tweaks
*MMS 5.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PAGEPOOL - Dynamic (helps with memory leaks)
Screen Shots? No it looks just like every other stock ROM released from HTC But I have included lots of different .tsk files for you! Also a nice looking .tsk is installed at startup!

Once again testing is needed as I can't recreate all the setups that you all might have. BUT it should be pretty damn bug free as all my roms are~
*** The ClearType issue is fixed at the cost of Opera Beta not working (Not Opera Mini) HOWEVER I will make a new ROM later that includes the new DDI.dll and a updated version of Schaps Advanced Configuration app that will let you change back and forth between the old DDI.dll and the new DDI.dll to get Opera Beta working if there is a demand for it. Honestly I don't like Opera Beta since its slow to load pages unless on WiFi and well its still in Beta and doesn't have flash like the new version of SkyFire does. So if you would like me to make a new ROM then post a comment and like I said if a few would like me to make a new ROM I will ***

Dont take offense bro, hes from New York I think and Im sure he doesnt mean it in a bad way. Im in L.A. and its pretty common to call friends by names that would usually be offensive. He makes real nice roms too, Ill prob try this one today.

Can we see some screenshots of this ROM in action from anyone that has used it at all? I have just been playing around with some roms, and re-decided to stick with Laurentius26's V9 rom for now, unless this one proves better.
I am in the UK on orange. Does this ROM inc a radio or is it OS only?
Thanks again

Is this the official dumb ass people rom?? or just a regular dumb ass person rom??........

Well I have friends and family from NY and they don't use that type of talk unless they mean it in a bad way...I'll pass on this too.....

Austin thanks for the release. I will be testing the GPS today (whole day )like I always do.
@ People who have GPS cold lock problems with WinMo 6.1
For the last two weeks we have been testing different GPS drivers and finally found a way to get cold lock times under 1 minute consistently by using WinMo 6.0 drivers.
If you have cold lock issues give this ROM a shot. Really would like to hear whether it fixes the cold lock problem in your device.
BTW: I don't think Austin meant "dumb asses" in a bad way

Both of them,.

opera mini i use about every 15 minutes and it works perfect with this rom! so i would take that as d3d working as good as it gets these days i used all modules that DDI.dll called for from the rom that the .dll was taken from. rest assured there are no issues with this rom
EDIT: this was posted on Xda due to a large number of people wanting a some what stock rom. as you all know i try to keep most of the custom roms i make nightly on my forum BUT was requested to post this here. we all need to lighten up a little Xda has become a place of hate and people taking everything to heart! In my little world what is said here has no impact on my REAL life lol. SO everyone chill out a little! I'm going to be around here for a long time more and have been here for a very long time already so deal with it.

Yeah deal with it... Lol... Man Im new to the community and I think all of u chefs are great but I do tend to notice the virtual ego trip that goes on and it really takes away from what this site is all about... Hats off to u austinsync and all other chefs dedicating their time to produce excellent Roms for us flash junkies

Do you still use Touchflo 3d?

After I spent a day without Touchflo I'm never using it again. Yes its pretty but my life is so much easier without all the touching and flowing. I cant believe I'm going to say this but the regular windows mobile start screen kicks ass. Date, time, my appointments and screen lock is all I need. Performance wise every app runs so much faster its like a totally different phone. If you havent tried using your fuze without touchflo I suggest you give it a try.
What do you think fellow XDAers?
edit: something I just noticed is that if you lock your device, it can be unlocked automatically by removing the stylus.

hmm
Here is my dilema . With touch flow disabled the phone is a lot faster for me but it takes more effert to do something like use the camera in a snap. The touch flow interface is much easier to do things like use the camera with only one hand.

I did, and it wasn't bad but windows mobile just aint purty. I've tried the Bell UI which runs tons faster, but I didn't like that there were a few things that didn't work. There's also the point ui, which runs faster too

Try SPB Mobile Shell, it's a very nice replacement.

I just go to the start menu and press camera. As apposed to scrolling to Programs tab or Pictures tab waiting for the icons to load (yes I know it takes less than a second but when you're doing something it feels like forever) and then pressing camera. With touchflo disabled the camera app opens faster anyway.

Im not looking for suggestions I just wanted to know how other people felt about touchflo's performance.

I don't use it.. I think it was just HTCs answer to the iPhone crowd

if you want to get to aps and things fast i suggest using ifonz 1.1.2, you can map the camera to an icon right in the bottom bar i use it on my x51v and am getting my fuze tonight and i plan on that being the first program that i install on it

Haha, I just started using TouchFlo3D.
Ater I bought it I immediately disabled TouchFlo, but a couple of weeks ago I started to use it a bit. (for now)

I like a lot of the TouchFLO, but why MS took off the PIM aspect of the phone is beyond me. It doesn't do me any good to only see 1 appointment and no tasks easily. It seems like more of an oversight on their part, but until they get it working that I can see appointments and tasks, TFLO is not gonna be used again.

Cant you just add them back to the today menu? My fuze shows tasks and appointments as a seperate line on the today screen.

I still use it and have no intention to turn it off. With all these custom ROMs out here, tf3d is pretty fast.

I like HTC Home better...maybe I am just so use to it considering I had my TyTN II for so long and just got a Fuze.
Hmmm...wonder if HTC Home 2.1 will work with the Touch Pro...

Yep, still using it. Although I installed the black flip clock version. After tweaking it, it's very responsive.

i use it touchflo on and off i really like touchflo so everytime i disable it i end up re-enabling it lol.....
but custom roms make it alot faster...
the rom im using now is really fast but still has plenty functionality!
and yes this is my 6th rom and loving it!!
i just hope it stays stable..

i love it... its not slow at all. im running NATF 2.3.

To each his own.... but... EWWW!
IMHO, you just can't beat AT&T's M3D theme. I think it's such a well-balanced, smooth, thoroughly-designed theme, that everything else just looks amateur in comparison. That's just me thou.

I never said Touchflo was slow or unresponsive but I found my fuze more productive with it disabled. Apps load up faster which is the biggest plus in my book. I open up emails and word docs throughout the day and every bit of speed I get helps me get through the day with less frustration.
I'll disable it on the weekdays when I have work and enable it during weekend so that when I go to bars, I can show off to my Iphony friends.

Is it possible to port Leo's Manila 2.5 to Kaiser?

So I was looking around HTCPedia (Please dont feel betrayed) and I saw this ROM for the TP2. Is there any reason why it couldn't be ported to the Kaiser?
I haven't begun dabbling in cooking my own ROMs yet, but I feel like I might try making my first attempt soon. Clealy this is not an ideal starting point, but if someone with experience could give it a shot in the mean time....

just make a rom to look like it, you should have asked this in a kitchen thread or dev and hack thread instead of starting a new thread for this or ask leo if he would make you one for kaiser.

we can run tf3d the issue is the 3d drivers not working properly when the device goes to sleep, second tf2.5 would be possible but it would require alot of work and again working drivers, well better than the ones that the kaiser has atm

lol oops, still need go ask in the dev & hack thread about your porting question

Like others state chefs & devs have never got the sleep issues with TF3D sorted and the same would come with M2D 2.5 as it's basically a amalgimation of 2-3...
Also another problem is real estate our devices are QVGA so tiny that it wouldn't be a true port as not everything would fit and still be useable.

true, and also the fact that our qvga devices are a thing of the past now, most new devices are now vga (well except the not yet released htc mega)
so i dont think htc or any developers would take the time to "try" and improve the kaiser 3d drivers to actually make it run smoothly.
I would recommend just going for manila2d/TF2D dumped from htc mega (the latest one)
or perhaps going for a new vga device although i would recommend waiting until wm7 comes out in order to get a wm7 ready phone
