hello all,
id like to start off in thanking you all all for some of the fantastic roms some of you have made... i like little touches in all of them and i thought i would have a go at customising mine to my own perfection.
i really like this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364901
but i know i cant use this on mine because i have a Wizard G4 and thats for the elf.. ive cid unlocked it so that i can flash any G4 OS only rom using that Hardspl thing!! (sorry forgot what it was called)...
i really like the black glossy background thats in all the folder views and the icons and everything about it from that link^^^. i wanted to change the font so that it was like the 1 from that link too... i like the way it moves the icons down the side when you go into a folder too,, is this possible on the wizard??
the apps that i was looking to install were:
Google Maps
Glossy Black Bars
SIM Manager
Clear Temp
office
HTC Touch Keyboard
any cool games
Threaded SMS (New)
Internet Explorer with Zooming Features (New)
Adobe Reader LE
.NET Compact Framework 3.5.7283.0 (New)
GSAlarm Clock (New)
Windows Media Player with Touch Style Skin
Automatic Network Detector for wap/gprs/mms
Windows Live (newest version) because i use hotmail for emails and messenger to talk to my mates.
i seen someone that had on their today screen the option to read emails as soon as they came thru and it notified you on the today screen like it does with new SMS messages...
i really like the iphone dialer and i'd like to see which contacts are ringing me so is there a phot contacts program??
i'm not to bothered about any of the closing programs or task managers or commander stuff or battery bars,,
if someone could help me find the things i would need to make a rom like this i would really appreciate it.
or if anyone can reconmend something that shows the info when emails arrive on the today screen then that would be cool...
Thank you
Kev

the clock program is spb time (with a skin)

Wauw, that's a nice rom, finally iv'e got everything working very well.
Sometimes it looks my herald is heaving a hard time, but i guess that overclocking will do the job.
One small problem, When i'm in the picture viewer (The manilla 2d one) all my pictures are
stretched
Nice rom. The htc album needs to be updated. The black corners of the pic's will be fixed with new ver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421304&page=30 Look at post 173. It has pic's of before and after htc album update. I would change comm manger to update 13's new comm manager but user can do that if they want.
Hi guys,
I appreciate the work you are doing for the Herald ROM Development community.
Especially regarding to the TouchFlo2D.
Can somebody please post a screen shot of the free memory after installing this rom.
Thanks in advance.

Nice ROM
Tks Guy, it´s a very nice rom.
The touch move easyly, the clock is beautiful, the googlemas , it´s rock!
The Rom is gorgeous. my biggest gripe is the lack of memory.. its tiny. however given what the rom is doing.. ill deal. still messing with it. havent found anything it didnt do for me yet.. minus softkey.. it does NOT like softkey modification.. or clearing your bottom bar.. dont like that either.
I have discovered another problem, I cant send any sms. I only can send e-mail no mather if i select Mail or Messages.
Hi.
The ROM looks great.
I have countered the following:
- the option: Keyboard Sliding Sound gives a white screen.
- TouchFlo2d in landscape mode is not rendered oke.
- missing the option to change the analogue clock to a digital one.
- Opening a received tex message directly from the home screen results in a white screen and the message "loading Message" while nothing happens.
- Te pre-installed file explorer temp. freezes the phone..
In response to Hallo409: I can send and receive SMS with no problem.
Otherwise it looks great.
Thanks a million
That's strange because when i select the Messages tab and push new sms (litte icon at the right side of the screen) that will bring me to the messaging page. Thisone contains only setup E-mail. and no link for writing a text message (sms).
Gullum:
This is an excellent ROM. Thanks for the good work. The best dialer I ever seen. The only problem I have is that when I tap on the Message Icon, the phone keep displaying "Loading message .....". I don't use Microsoft Office and Adobe. Therefore, would love to have a strip down version. Is there a cab for your new dialer?
Thanks
FANTASTIC
its very very very .........
thanks for the rom
please a little question
a simply program for owerlock processor
ok
Another little bug.
I have to switch on my Wi-Fi through settings.
Doing this via COmm Manager does not work.
hey gullum great rom ...but touchflo2D killing the little T-Mo wing are gonna do one with just your rom like a lite version seems like your rom very stable and i would like to try it without TF2D if u cam pm me
THANKS .... for a great rom
i also noticed a few more bugs.
Text messaging - Cant do it from the TF2d
Slidng Sounds - White screen
Landscape mode - Ive 3x had the landscape mode randomly revert back to portrait, AND close programs
Bottom Bar - Cant hide it
Soft Keys - Cant change them
Beautiful rom, some minor flaws and huge lack of memory. Eagerly anticipating a V2?
the rom is great but the MMS doesn't work i try mms v5 romeos fix and still don't work.

TouchFlo2D is not compatible with landscape mode. Gullum so far has been working on making it compatible from what I've seen in some developer threads.
There isn't a missing option because, again, that's not part of TouchFlo2d. He'd have to program a program to do this for him (unless the TouchFlo2d customizer gets to a point that it can do this.)
man i was like this rom is great besides the 5mb left.
then i get a text and now i have to flash back to otp
can someone please post some screenshots?
This ROM very pleased me! It is very stable! Very much..Very pleased! Thank you!
Hi all,
i am using this freeware calender enhancement that i find VERY useful..
you can customize number of appt shown on today, the font size and header types.
Find it at my blog .. have a post on it there.
Let me know if you found it useful ok?
did anyone find it useful? will love to hear
I have looked at it, haven't installed it yet. Presently using TF3D on Touch HD. Really like the look of it and the way it puts almost the whole system on the today screen.
What I would really like is (now possible) an additional page on TF3D which can have normal today plugins and on that page SPB diary.
This calendar plus would quite easily replace SPB diary if it also supported tasks. That's my gripe with TF3D as well. Why only appointments... when tasks also need similar attention on today screen?
But still, looks very cool. Will try it once have more time on my hands
glad u found it ok
I just noticed that the Tasks screen on my MDA is T Mobile UK branded....they have taken off Email & Messaging and replaced it with Album & Google Maps.
See the attachment I added is the HTC version, and that is what I want. When I slide keyboard out, I like to be able to tap either messaging or Email and type away, not Album & Google Maps!
So is there a way to remove those 2 and put Email & Messaging back?
Thanks in advance,
Wayne.
P.S. I have a MDA Vario IV (T Mobile UK)

You could use the "New Landscape" by 12aon here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475557
not only will you get the things you want, but even more functionality. It's a pretty sweet modification
That looks good, would definitely try it, but as it's T-Mobile branded, the MDA is a little, shall we say..."Pink" themed and this little app's colour wouldn't look right lol
Is there a way at all, to replace the Album & Google Maps in the Tasks Screen with Email & Messaging? I looked in the registry and can find nothing obvious....

I'm not 100% sure, but if you change the theme using TF3D Config, it should carry over the email & messaging, that way you won't have that maps and album button
Ok well, this is all very confusing, so I think I will give up for now.
I was just told that the only way to change the buttons in the Tasks Screen (when you slide the keyboard out) is to re-flash the ROM with HTC's own ROM.
I have never flashed a ROM in my life, don't understand the instructions, so I think I will leave it for the time being and put up with T Mobile's silly "pink" TouchFLO 3D (I hate branding lol). The New Landscape by 12aon is black themed, but T Mobile's theme is pink, so I don't think it'd work lol.
Thanks to those who helped & replied.

At present I'm using trhe newest Energy ROM. Nice work.
I just wondered if there was any ROMs made for easy of visual use.
I'm a but long in the eye now and find using the phone sometimes a strain on my eyes. Age and all that
The Energy ROM is very good but I probably only use about 1/20th of the apps and stuff it loads. Some of the ones it installs I don't even know what they do
I would love to see a ROM made for vision clarity, bigger fonts and more simple but just as useful front screens.
Is there any of the cooks that can advise me on this ?
Thanks
maybe it's not a rom, but a software that you need, like point ui : http://www.wm6software.net/utilities/pointui_1_5.html
not the lame 2.0 which tries to do exactly the same as touchflo, spb etc, but the 1.5, which was very very eye and finger friendly, especially on small screens like the one on touchpro, with big icons, big texts, big lists etc..
so can I get a ROM with none of this HTC touch slide screen and Sense, maybe just a really basic front end.
well I've installed that app, started it and all I get is a blue blob start up screen than nothing happens.
Rom
If you are looking for a simple rom with a good user interface I usually go back to the basic Euro Touch pro rom. I then add a few apps by cab that I need but I also add SPB Mobile shell to it. Retains all the hardware funtionality. I of course turn off TF3D.
SPB can replace your start menu and for bigger fonts go to start\settings\system\screen and enable cleartype and adjust your font size.
When I install this rom I usually install the following apps for basic and a little advanced user functionality:
SPB Mobile shell 3.5 (UI) -Worth the money-
Advanced config 3.3 (changing pagepools and storage locations)
Total Commander 2.5 (self-explanatory)
GPSTest 1.04 (for GPS locking)
SKtools (easy tweaking and cleaning-latest version-I bought it at pocketgear.com)
Bing (directions, searching, Navigating etc.)
Lumos (latest version for backlight control)
Touch Response (latest version-simulated haptive feedback)
Microsoft MyPhone (Secondary sync)
Of course it is all based on taste. Just thought I would stick that out there for ya.
Font size is at its largest, isn't enough
I have to say out of whats on the phone with this energy ROM i think I only use 3 things, and one is now missing in the new ROM.
Phone
Wi-Fi Router
Notes and Tasks.
Google Maps
Facebook
SMS
Freecell
Mostly hooked up to my PC with MyMobile so I can use my big screen. never browse now as the screen is to small.
Just looked at thr Captains basic ROM

Why don't you try my Titanium ROM then ? It's pretty basic, IMO
Trouble I have is reading through all the threads on a ROM, theres just to much old rubbish per thread. I can't filter out whos going on about which version and which ROM is which.
Pruning should be compulsory
They get all wrapped up in tech speak and CHt HTc DDL ROM RAM NND GGH OOH, which doesn't mean a thing to me, or probably a lot of people
Ill try yours out now
What else would I need. I want the Wi-Fi and a few tools but none of the
ArkSwitch ( no idea what it is)
Backup Fav ( never use Fav to start with)
CHT ( turned that off straight away)
Shake and whatever ( why)
World Card ( Useles)
XDA UC ( no idea)
BINg
well you get the picture
There was a good simple task manager in the last ROM but its missing now
And I liked the page with all short-cuts to you most used apps. It looked like the iPhone, very handy to use.
TAEL roms are pretty good
OK I'm lost wheres the Energy Titanium please

TAEL, is that a ROM type or the maker of the ROM ?
Thanks
Rom
Yes TAEL is the chef of the rom.
I am currently using captains manilla 2.1 rom. Pretty basic uses the old TF3D type interface. but still has newer features. The only thing missing would be the facebook app. but that can be installed via cab. Seems to be simple enough yet has plenty of tools to get the job done. It has the simple HTC task manager as well.
Does Pointui.Home.1.5a.Wm5. work on it
Ahh I see it says WM5 I wonder if that why it doesn't work on mine.
Trying the Cpts one, systems font seems smaller and I can't seem to find any O2 UK set up cab anywhere
Font size???
It does enlarge through screen settings but I can try and find a magnifier that could swipe across the screen. Of course most of the chefs have knowledge enough to make a "handicapped" rom as microsoft sells it in windows. (Magnifier , speech etc.)
What would be good is an App like the iPhone one that turns the phone into a magnifier. I could deff use that when I was out to read labels and small stuff.
Using
TAELROM_v4.23569_STANDARD_21MAY10
Cpts one I couldn't get the O2 settings for.
i have found something that might help you http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/WinMobile-Magnifier-27412.shtml
Well I gone and brought an iPhone, please don't shout , Only way I can see if it is suitable for me is hands on.
Probably wrong place to ask but anyone recommend a decent iPhone forum ?
Thanks
Still got the HTC so all is not lost
