Can this be done with HTC phones?

I like the concept. It's about time, we can get a picture of our own phone/mp3 player on the screen, color included. Itunes has only done that for about 4 versions now.
Here is the link to the developer kit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/DeviceExperience/Dev-Kit.mspx
Which I assume will never get utilized by phone manufacturers, since Microsoft is leaving it up to them. Maybe for the newest ones.
Nice article about it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2354491,00.asp
If there is a place likely to develop these custom .xml profiles before waiting for the phone companies to do it, XDA seems like the place.
Any takers on cooking these profiles up? 1 Vote for the Tilt.

I've gone through a few phones recently and many of them already do this in WMDC but I suspect you need a manufacturer that can be bothered. In fact, I remember my tosh g900 doing this a couple of years ago.

New look for the internet tab

Hey,
I was browsing through different roms for other mobile phones which are also using Manila and I found the Onyx Rom for the HTC Touch and there, the internet tab looks pretty awesome, also the list view of the favorits is kind of nice. Is there a possiblitiy to change it at the HD2 too? A much more nicer world etc.?

The thing about that is the Internet Tab you see is for Manilla 2.1 if I remember correctly (been so long since I have used it) and 2.5 has the style that we use. To be honest I like that style too.

Wp7 Makeover

Got bored so I did this using all free apps from the market/xda all free, no warez. ad-away used to remove adverts. I diem it mostly to show people who want their desire s to run wp7 (which will never happen) that there is an alternative to give them pretty much the same experience.
Have a look:

sorry for the huge pictures, in a rush and cant be bothered to resize.
Apps used: Launcher 7, smart keyboard with wp7 skin, statusbar+, wp7 notifications, photo safari, wp7mail, wp7 phone, wp7zplayer, metro messenger beta, wp7lock lite, wp7contacts lite. What do you guys think?

Pretty nice I used a Lumia 800 the other day, and i gotta say, it was smooth. Would love to have WP7 on my Desire S, but as you said, sadly it's impossible. Anyways, i'll try the apps tomorrow.

It runs really well although the notifications are a little annoying. I made the pictures tile myself. That is, I got it from a screenshot and Photoshopped the word "pictures" from the bottom left.

Android desktop mode : a much under-estimated feature

I feel like android desktop modes are really much under-estimated. From android 10 release, all media only talk about foldable phone support, 5G support, dark mode (ok this one is actually pretty cool) but nothing about desktop mode.
But this feature is just so powerfull. Why do you use a computer anymore? Using only one device is so much more convenient and less expensive...
Ok currently there is still one issue that is the software end. If you need a windows-only software you'r stuck... But are you really? If you use a cloud computer like shadow.tech you can get a remote windows desktop with all the windows soft you could ever want!
I made Keydock, a docking station in the form of a keyboard, that gives a really great docking desktop experience.

I would love to hear what you think of it! You can see more pictures on Mod edit: Link removed

I guess it looks sick, not sure why I would use it though.
