Hello
I have a few questions about cooking WM6 ROM.
Could anybody help me?
1. How to make my own menu start structure?
2. How set my own ring tones to notifications?
3. How to make HTC Home pack with covered contacts, music and profiles tabs?
I know these have been covered elsewhere, but maybe not explicitly and in one place - so:
1) In an Initflashes file, you'll have to tell it to move a shortcut into the \Windows\Start Menu\ folder, or the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder - depending where you want the link to show under the Start menu.
2) Change your ringtone/notifications to the one you want, then look through your registry for it - you might want to look around the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds and HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications keys. Once you've seen how you want them set up, make (or edit an existing) .rgu to include these changes.
3) Have a look in Alex's excellent kitchen at the existing HTC Home modification packages. These should point you in the right direction for what files and settings to include (don't use HTC Home so can't help more on this).
If you don't know what I mean by any of the above, please do an awful lot more looking around the Wiki and related threads as starting threads around here when the information is here for the finding is a quick method for lots of flaming and not much help (friendly advice - not a threat!)
Good luck.
Thanks for answer.
1) This it’s clear for me. But I don’t know hove to change place of existing shortcut like: Mobile Office, search, Note, etc.
2) I will try this way.
3) I don’t know why, but Alex's HOME packages don’t work correctly on my Polish rom. Can’t use weather and launcher tabs.
4) I had make my own HOME packages based on previous version. In this version I don’t have tabs with settings.

While most shortcuts are set by initflashes files, the ones for those in the ROM are often set by .provxml files. In the case of Office, this is in mxipupdate_office_100.provxml which is in the SYS/Office folder in the kitchen. I just use Notepad to edit it.
Sorry I can't help with the HTCHome bits - just takes up too much space on my Today screen for my liking.
Hello
is it possible to somehow create a shortcut to the "others" tab in the touchwiz 2 UI?
i have been searching the net for hours now and only came up with a selfmade shortcut to the generic winmo -> start -> programs in this thread
the problem is, i would really prefer to have a shortcut to the touchwiz version of it, that is the "others" button in the left corner when u hit the windows start button (while having touchwiz2 UI replace the win UI of course).
i already searched the whole filesystem and checked every .exe and .lnk file
cant find anything in the registry neither
any help would be much appreciated
my device is an omnia pro (b7610) running on WinMo 6.1
kindest regards

Good luck,
i've been searching for while for a program that would allow to easily add/remove programs from start menu list, since it becomes a burden in a while
(the ones from windows/start menu/programs path and from registry)

You simply download the cab to your computer. Then, copy/paste the cab to your storage card using the USB connection. Then, using your file explore on your phone locate the cab file in your storage card and install it by double taping the file.
How to search the forum.
1) Towards the top right side of web page you should see the search option, press the small arrow.
2) A small drop down window should open.
3A) You may do a broad search which normally won’t turn up any solid information by simply typing out what you’re looking for in the white box and hitting search.
3B) For a more refine search click on the "use the built in forum search" / Advance search link at the bottom of the small search box.
4) You'll want to click on the small arrow just under the Keyword box on the left hand side of the screen and click "search titles only".
5) Then on the right side of the window is the larger “search in forum(s)” box, click on either the “HTC Leo: HD2” or the “T-Mobile USA HTC HD2” heading which are highlighted in white and press Search Now.

Ali, a ROM is a package that includes the full OS and other software on your phone. The stuff that came on your phone from the factory is the "stock ROM", and there are a large number of custom ROMs available here at xda that somehow improve or otherwise tweak/change the stock ROM to personal tastes and preferences. You can replace your stock ROM with a custom one if you would like, but the process is delicate and carries the possiblity of totally disabling your phone, permanently ("Bricking" it).
Themes are much safer, and a better place for you to start...in the "themes" section for your phone.
As for ROM's, there are some stickied threads at the top of this section ("Links to CABs, ROMs....") that have full instructions on ROM flashing....make sure you read them VERY carefully if you are thinking about taking that path. Then, read them again

lockscreen cab below is for when you install a middle or low lockscreen (like iphone), and erase it. You'll need to reinstall the original back in.
The "dragonworld" cab removes the MMS limit of 300k (custom roms limit) and set it as 5 MB.
The "docHD2" cab allows you receive full size MMS pictures not the small ones. (doesn't work for everyone but a worth a try)

In resco go to options -> general ->browser tab at the bottom and uncheck the "hide..." boxes. Now you'll be able to see registry settings and edit them I think.
REGISTRY !
"\\Plugins" is the folder the registry is in!! why doesnt anyone ever mention that !!!! it was at the top of my list but i never thought to check "plugins" for my directory ... but thats how you get to it.
If you keep this thread updated... that will certainly be of some MAJOR help to this section... because there's an increasingly disturbing number of bull**** posts everyday now...

The screen option, i had this before it made i forgot what better but i would like to re-enable this. i believe it held font rendering options and other options.

HKLM/controlpanel/pen and change the value of 'Hide' from 1 to 0.
Good idea.......BUT
This is a great idea. Problem is the T-Mobile USA site should have links leading ONLY to cabs etc that are verified for the HD2 in the USA at T-mobile. Guess what? IT DOESN'T.
Noobs be warned. Watch where the links are taking you. Don't download and install anything from an area outside of the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 section unless it has been verified to work / not screw your device.
Good Luck

only roms and radios can brick tmous, cabs and the like will be fine. If a cab is incompatible with the tmous, it will be incompatible with all hd2's.

When or where have you heard of a foreign cab screw up a device?
The wifi cab works perfect with any TMOUS HD2, yet it wasn't released to the US market. Give it a try.
install to device or card
america just wants to make money on everyone for everything, if they gave away free wifi, like they do in most other countries, verizon, timewarner, cablevision wouldnt make the millions of dollars they do each year, they want you to opt to get the hot spot at home router its a shame that money is usally behind every descion in the world.
And by the way, no where does it say if your install facebook/anything on ur card you wont be able to use it when your hd2 is plugged in to your comp, you will get errors ive been getting sysfile.exe errors lately also and just now trying to youtube froze my fone i might call tmobile and see if i can get it switched out or something
device installs
also noticed if you install wifi router to device it doesn'tget nearly as hot at the bottom back of phone
Very helpful!

Stumbled upon this. I hope i'm posting in the right location. This update is dated 2009-12-18
Update for HTC HD2 SD Card Storage Cards
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=825&news_id=438
Full info at posted link.
I searched on the xda Forum, but i found nothing, so i decided to create this request post.
I search an application, to have a shortcut to to do what i want.
For example : If for the moment i use a lot games, i want that when i touch the shortcut of this application, i go in the folder of my games.
And, if the next week i look a lot of te TV, hwen i touch the shortcut of this application, my TV application opens.
Because i have already my favorites applications, contacts, games or other things in shortcut, but some other application are my favorite just during a moment, a day, a weekend or a week.
So i will not create a shortcut everytime, i prefere to have just one shortcut, and edit it easily.
I hope someone will help me to find it, if this application exists.
And if it does not exist, i hope someone can create it, with for exemple a name like HD2 Personnal Button.
