Hello XDA! Thanks to everyone here for the tools and knowledge I used to make this. Don't forget to HardSPL!
I made my own because other roms are either too light or have programs I never use. I'm sure there will be people that feel this way about my roms.
2 Flavors Available based on a mix of Voda 3.08 and WWE 3.03!
3.08.DKv1.0 with Original Kaiser Dialer from WWE 3.03

NO reboot bug from 3.03

- Windows Update
- Links to WM Task Manager
- Adobe Reader LE
- BCR World Card
- 9 Button Comm Manager
- Cyberon Voice Speed Dial
- Esmertec Jbed (Java)
- HTC Home (takes up way too much today screen realestate)
- HTC Home Plug
- IA Zip
- A lot of extra junk (i.e. ringtones, templates, images...)
In Are:
- NETCF and SQLCE 3.5 (fixed OEM based on FAMAN's)

Radio:

Bugs?
- Bluetooth turns on at start then shuts off. I honestly don't think this is a bug. If it stayed on then it would be, but since it shuts off maybe it's just checking something.
- Internet Sharing disconnects unless you uncheck "On External Power" in Power Settings
- You will get a Customer Feedback message once and once only. Just tap Next and close. (Anyone know how to kill this?)
- I don't have video dialing so unable to test on 3.08.DKv1.1, should work fine on 3.08.DKv1.0 since dialer is untouched.
- I don't use Black Berry Connect, but it looks like this doesn't work
- I don't use Exchange so unable to test
- Delete dword CWSLayout=1 or change dword CWSLayout=0, located in HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD for Kaiser Keyboard Layout. Cab fix is also attached.
If anyone wants to modify these roms, all registry settings are intact so just use KaiserKitchen by Jscepi to extract, modify and re-cook. My tweaks are in OEM\OperatorPKG\mxipupdate_oemoperators_106.provxml. PagePool is untouched.
I've been using this for about a week and I haven't noticed too many bugs. Threaded SMS is great. I'd love to get some feedback from anyone that trys out my rom. I didn't use the 5.0 version of the camera or the 4.2 version of MMS that has SMS and MMS separated since I don't use that much. If there are enough people that want it, I will change these out and add album in my next build.

3.08.DKv1.2 Updates! I didn't get too much feedback so I fixed a few things that I found and added UC as Sleuth suggested. UC is pretty awesome especially for us rom junkies. Also, TCPMP 0.81 doesn't work and there doesn't seem to be a fix for it yet.

I wasn't going for a green theme. It's green because I removed all the added themes and WM6.1 is green by default when you first boot.
Keep the good work man
i'm testing your rom...and it's cool....thanks
but i think the green theme is pretty
cheers
Glad you like it. Let me know if you find any problems.
Really good ROM, cgtrl
I am fan of 'between Vanilla and minimal' editions
Now i am testing v 1.0 (with 24 MB page pool and:
1. Old method off making non-english letters 'known' to dial-pad is not working. (i mean jimm98y_smartdialing*PL*.cab for example)
I'll try to see what's going on. I am aware that it's minor problem (not much ppl interested...)
2. TCPMP (v0.81) is not working - i know, there is another thread about it, i'll try to chechk it.
3. when assisted GPS is on GPS is unstable - com4 is not aviable? GoogleMaps can work, but GPS View is dying...
anyway - only minor troubles, and green theme killed my wife
Any way I can get you to cook in User Customziation? The effort is trivial and ROM flasher's coming from other UC capable ROMs will be able to get up and running automatically. I'm promoting this as a standard across all cooked ROMs since it'll work on any device.

Here's a bunch of themes to get rid of the green. I didn't purposely make my theme green, it just is because wm6.1 default is green. erric191 also has blackbars.exe that will turn the bars black. Not sure what issue you're having with the dialpad, but my roms default format is for Tilt.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll have a look at the GPS when I go out tonight.

Getting ready to flash, but just a thought, since this is UC compatible, wouldn't it be beneficial to the rom user if he/she knew everything that was cooked in? Completely for the purpose of comparing with one's own sdconfig. I dont if UC roms automatically detect duplicates or what, but it would be a bit self defeating if one had to go through an remove dup progz. Anyways, thanks for the post...looks good.
ajmoncrief - That's a good idea. I added a "Untouched Programs" section to my first post. Since my rom is already pretty light, there wasn't too much to add.
Sorry for the mess i've made...
I am using my own theme in every OS i am using. Just after flashing Your bios my wife wanted to play mahjong on my device and it was first time she saw it without my default theme
... next step was writing xml for her tornado ...
... green one ...
... she forced me to do so ...
Anyway, i belive that any user who flashed his OS will also know how to change device theme
btw, I _cannot_ say that troubles with GPS are bug in Your bios... I used 'KaiserTweak' to activate 'assisted gps' - before this step GPS was OK. So, it's possible that settings that KaiserTweak is changing are slightly difftent in 6.1...
Qlphn - I meant to reply to you earlier. I drove down to Duke's in Malibu for dinner last night from downtown Los Angeles using TomTom with aGPS enabled and I didn't notice any problems. I personally don't use aGPS because I never noticed any real benefit from it.
As far as that green theme, sorry. I used to have a Q and it was such a pain writing xml's to get my phone looking the way I wanted.
GPS trouble was present only in apps that are using 'old way' - COM4...
Applications using Windows managed access to GPS were working OK even with 'assisted GPS on' - that's why i said it's 'minor trouble'. Morever, it's possible I messed up sth - so we need at least second person with the same trouble to start taking it seriously...
Don't worry about green, please Whole situation was very funny in fact
adding slide sounds
if any one could show me how to add sounds to my slide features.. i seen on youtube the lightsaber.. can show me what to do? i have both wave files .. my phone is unlocked ...

Onyx FAQ (Part 1 of 2)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of FAQ is here (it's the next post in this thread)
First Time Users (Newbs)
Q. To what device can I flash Onyx?
A. This forum and this ROM are for GSM (SIM card) versions of HTC's 2007 Touch (Elf/Elfin) only. Please use common sense -- it's NOT for Vogue/Diamond/Cruise/HD/Omnia/Viva etc.
Q. I'm new... How do I install Onyx?
A. Follow these steps:
Optional: Find your device's CID and Device ID
Optional: Make a backup of the stock ROM currently on your phone. If you have saved a shipped ROM that matches your CID and Device ID, then you can skip this.
Install an IPL/USPL or HardSPL which removes the CID lock on your phone. HardSPL 3.10 and IPL 3.10 are recommended. (NOTE: HardSPL 3.14 causes increased battery drain!)
Flash Onyx when the above steps have been completed
After the ROM is flashed, and you completed the screen calibration, allow the Customization to start and finish. DO NOT reset the device during customization, because it performs necessary configurations for the ROM.
Ask about CID unlocking questions in another thread, not here... Or read the stickies at the top of the forum.
Q. After flashing Onyx, can I restore all programs that I backed up in my previous ROM (e.g. with Spb Backup)?
A. This is not recommended because it will mess up the registry. You can however restore your PIMs (calendar, contacts, SMS, etc.) without issues. To restore your old programs (CABs) automatically, use the User Customization method (see this link for details).

Onyx Versions
Q. What are the differences between Onyx Ultimate/Micro/Jr. and Onyx 5.x (and later)?
A. Please see the first post for a comparison chart. To add back missing programs, see below. You can automatically install them with the UC method.
WM6.1 Phone Canvas - more memory usage, has vibration-on-connect feature
WM6.5 Phone Canvas and more from HTC Mega (YouTube etc.)
YouTube: see attachment at the bottom of the FAQ
HTC Album: this is required for the Photos tab in Jr.'s Manila2D to work
Arcsoft MMS
Large Title Bar: see attachment at the bottom of Part 2 of the FAQ (next post)

Keyboards and SIPs
Q. I changed my Keyboard setting to another language but now the keyboard is blank!
A. You didn't install language files or configure them properly... See the answer in the next question.
Q. I want to change keyboard language to non-English.
A. Install languages from this thread (look for the post titled "Language Packs - QVGA"). When finished, go to Settings->Input->Full QWERTY->Options and select your language.
Q. How do I make my keyboard always use T9 without having to manually set it every time I open a new program (default is ABC currently)?
A. Open registry and set \HKLM\ Software\ Tegic\ eT9\ IME\ CarrierDefaultTextMode to either 1 (T9 always) or 0 (ABC always).
Q. I would like to back up my ET9 words database before I hard reset or re-flash device.
A. Back up these files in \Windows: eT9Rudb.Rdb, eT9Cdb.Cdb, eT9Asdb.Adb. Restore these files with Total Commander (the default File Explorer may not work).
Q. How do I make another keyboard (such as PCM Keyboard) as the default?
A. Two steps:
Go to registry @ HKCU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps and remove the key called Startkey
Then install SIPChange and run it to select your default input method.
Q. How do I enable the old drop-down style of Word Completion for keyboard, block recognizer, etc.?
A. Read this post.
Q. How do I enable Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer in input menu?
A. Open the registry and change the following:
For letter recognizer:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
"Default"="1"
For block recognizer:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
"Default"="1"
Q. Is Transcriber found in this ROM?
A. No. You can search, or else try the one found here.
Customizing Manila 2D
Q. I want to change the Manila 2D clock or skin.
A. Clocks and Skins thread is here!
Install themes with M2D Customizer.
If you just want an analog clock on top of the existing Onyx theme, see here.
Q. I want Manila 2D in another language.
A. Check here. Turn off M2D in Settings->Today->Items, copy the new files to \Windows, and then turn M2D back on.
Q. I want to add or delete tabs in Manila 2D.
A. Run the M2D Customizer tool.
Q. How do I install rain animation in Manila2D Weather tab?
A. Unzip the attachment at the end of this post. There is no other weather animation available for M2D.
Q. How do I change left/right soft key on the Home tab??
A. Follow the instructions here .
Q. I am having problems installing new themes with M2D Customizer.
A. Copy a newer version of M2D to \Windows. Make sure you are also not installing the Footprints tab onto the default M2D found in Onyx.
Other Manila 2D Related Questions
Q. I have lots of M2D questions not answered here.
A. I don't know everything, so please consult this thread.
Q. I want Chinese fonts for M2D or other programs.
A. Download font here.
Q. Audio Manager / WMP stops playing music when I turn off device.
A. You need your headphones plugged in for music to continue playing while turned off. Otherwise, use psShutXP to turn backlight off, so you can still hear music.
Q. How do I get 24 hour clock?
A. Go to Regional Settings.
Q. How do I show album art for songs in Audio Manager?
A. Follow the procedure here.
Q. I want to overclock my CPU while using Manila 2D.
A. Read this post.
Q. In Photos tab, photos aren't shown and Slideshow doesn't work.
A. Click on the "Album" soft key on the lower left, then select a folder and set it as your Favourite. Now when you go back to Manila you will see it working.
Q. The 'End' key doesn't take me back to Home tab.
A. Use a newer version of M2D.
Q. Alarm indicator on Home tab is off even though I set the alarm.
A. If alarm is coming up within 24 hours then it will show on the Home tab.
Q. During a reboot the SIM's PIN code prompt closes after a few seconds, and then TouchFLO starts up.
A. This is a known issue with Manila 2D. You can access the PIN code again when you start up the dialer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Part 2 of 2
Other Questions
Q. I have problems connecting to WPA encrypted networks.
A. Try this.
Q. I want to install back the HTC Cube.
A. Cube is from 2007 and obsoleted by Manila2D and Titanium. Please search XDA for it.
Q. An animated battery charging icon appears on the screen whenever I turn off my device while charging.
A. Do not use SPL 3.14! It also drains battery faster.
Q. I can't send MMS or surf the web with my data connection.
A. Run Connection Setup under Settings->Connections.
Q. How do I get my external bluetooth GPS receiver working?
A. Read here.
Q. How to make my headset run another audio player other than Audio Manager?
A. Read
Q. I had software that worked in other ROMs but not in Onyx.
A. You need to upgrade your software because it is not compatible with WM6.1 drivers. Otherwise, I don't know and don't have time to test your software. As a last resort, download Onyx 3.2.1 from the download page, which is a WM6.1 ROM but has WM6.0 drivers.
Q. How do I disable vibration when phone connects?
A. Go to the Advanced tab for the phone options and disable it there.
Q. How do I increase ringer or system volume?
A. Go to the registry, and find the following parameter: HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN\EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED. Change it to a value between 67 (default) and 77 (maximum recommended) and then reboot. Don't go so high that it blows out your speaker! There are other registry entries under the AUDIOGAIN key which may apply to headset and mic volume. Simply search the forum for their functions.
Q. How do I increase in-call volume?
A. Low in-call volume usually happens because the caller on the other line has a bad connection to your phone. First, make sure you tried to increase the volume during a call by using the side volume button! This can only be changed during a call. Next, go to the registry and try this. Aside from that, I cannot think of any other solution.
Q. Audio Manager shuts down whenever I try to open it.
A. Delete the songs or format the card and copy the songs back.
Q. Audio Manager or other program shuts down instead of minimizing when I close it.
A. Click on the Task Manager on top right, go to its options to change the X button property.
Q. In Onyx Micro, how do I show battery status in title bar instead of the clock?
A. See this post.
Q. I don't see any Bluetooth icons on title bar when I enable Bluetooth.
A. The icons were disabled due to many requests (icons were taking up space and annoying). See here to add them back.
Q. TCPMP does not work in Onyx 4.0 or higher.
A. Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3263631&postcount=294. Otherwise, read this thread for a semi-working version and some discussion. TCPMP has issues with a lot of 6.1 cooked ROMs that use 6.1 official ROMs as a base.
Q. SRS WOW does not work in Onyx 4.0 or higher.
A. Try this one.
Q. I can't receive files by Bluetooth.
A. Turn Beam on.
Q. How do I change Menu Bar pop-up fonts back to regular size?
A. Go to the registry, and find the following keys:
\HKLM\ System\ GWE\ Menu\ BarFnt
\HKLM\ System\ GWE\ Menu\ PopFnt
For regular font, in both keys, change "Ht" to a decimal value of 800 (or hex value 320).
For large font, use a decimal value of 1050 (or hex value 41A).
Q. My SMS and mail messages suddenly disappeared after I restored them with PPC Pim Backup!
A. Don't restore your SMSes while the Messaging application is open. Ensure it is terminated with the Task Manager.
Q. I want threaded SMS.
A. Run Advanced Configuration tool and change the option under Messaging.
OR set registry: \HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Inbox\ Settings\ OEM\ SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 0.
Q. I cannot enable Wi-Fi in Comm Manager while it is connected to USB ActiveSync.
A. Try this link. If it still doesn't work, then also under Settings->Connections->USB to PC change the state of "Enable faster data synchronization". If this is unsuccessful, then just turn on Wi-fi under System->Connections->Wireless LAN.
Q. How do you zoom and rotate pics in HTC Album?
A. Use your fingertip: Stroke a full circle to zoom, and stroke a semi-circle to rotate. Hold down on the picture for a couple of seconds to move the picture around.
Q. I get errors when I try to uninstall/remove a program.
A. Maybe this post will help.
Q. PPC PIM Backup is really, really slow.
A. Make sure you don't restore Sent Mail or Trash Mail from your Text Messages. Also, in my own testing, on MOST ROMs, I have noticed that after restoring my PIMs, usually my device slows down so I have to do a soft reset to fix it.
Q. In Onyx Ultimate, I disabled SIM contacts in Advanced Configuration; however, they still come back after a reset.
A. For versions before 4.1, Follow the tip here. For 4.1 and later, remove the entire registry key for Cyberon under HKCU\Software \HTC \Bootlauncher\Services, and reboot.
Q. How do I get Arabizer to work?
A. See this post.
Q. Why is Wi-fi unable to turn back on after coming out of standby? It was working in version "x" but not in this new version.
A. No, this "issue" also happened in previous versions too. I never saw it happening on mine, and neither have a lot of of other people, so I don't know what the reason could be. Do not install programs that may interfere with its functionality, also do not have Bluetooth enabled.
Q. My program relies on SQL and it doesn't work.

Onyx 6 (WM 6.5.x)
ONYX 6 - WM 6.5.x ROMs
THESE ROMS ARE FOR THE HTC TOUCH GSM ONLY - A QVGA DEVICE THAT USES SIM CARDS THAT WAS RELEASED IN 2007
This ROM includes the Windows Mobile 6.5.x Titanium home screen, a more finger-friendly layout (larger menus, the X button and Start menu moved to the bottom task bar) and the magnifying glass.
Helpful Tips for WM 6.5.x
IMPORTANT: TO TERMINATE/CHANGE BETWEEN RUNNING APPS:
For Release 8 and newer: press on the X to minimize app; or to terminate/switch app, click on the top left corner of screen to launch ArkSwitch by Arktronic
For Release 7 and earlier: press on the X to close app, or press + hold the Start menu icon to launch Showcase Suite by amarullz
To arrange shortcuts in the Start menu, simply press+hold on the shortcut until it lifts up, then drag it to wherever you want it.
To bring up the magnifying glass, click on the top taskbar.
To change the input method, press and hold on the keyboard icon for a couple of seconds.
To select multiple files in File Explorer, simply use the small stylus keyboard and use the Ctrl or Shift button to select multiple files. In Total Commander, you can also use the "CTL" button on the bottom right of the screen.
To prevent the lag for the lock slider after turning on the device, create an empty file called "welcome.not" on your SD card before you perform a flash or hard reset. More details here.
Answers to Common Questions
READ THE ONYX FAQ
If you have increased battery drain, I cannot help you. Elfs were not designed for the load required by WM6.5.
Manila2D will not be cooked into these ROMs, due to high memory usage. Click here to install a working M2D from HTC Mega. You can use the UC method to install it automatically after every re-flash.
Compact QWERTY keyboard will not work in text fields in Internet Explorer and in MSN widgets. For these cases, use Full QWERTY layout or a different keyboard instead.
To remove 3rd-party Titanium plugins like Weather and Favourite People: first disable Titanium ('Windows Default') under Settings->Personal->Home, then uninstall the plugin under Settings->System, then re-enable Titanium. For more customizations to the Titanium page, search for "CHome Editor".
To configure the Weather panel: Go to the tab, Select Forecast Options, hit Cancel to go back, and then run Full Update. Wait a few seconds for the home screen to refresh with the weather update.
NOTE: To find your weather location code:
Go to http://www.accuweather.com/rss-center.asp
Enter your city name for "Choose a Location", and then press "Set"
Your location code should appear at the end of the URL (e.g. NAM|CANADA|ON|OTTAWA)
A donation is never required, but appreciated for the long hours spent on fulfilling all requests and bug fixes. Every donor's name will be mentioned in the Onyx page under the Internet Explorer bookmarks (in the ROM).

You can still install the TFD home screen on top of this. Also this ROM should run faster (as far as I know).

yeah. your rom cubeless and this is good for tf2d. after installing tf2d my cube runs very laggy. i can't disable it but i can flash your rom.
but it's a good behaviour that waiting for stable tf2d version. i'm using it right now but it's a little buggy(music player, weather, etc).i think as soon as touch viva and touch 3d are released things will change very fast.
p.s. sorry for bad english
hehe! u can consider this as a prologue to the TF2D rom releases. and its optimized as well. since i know dsixda tested the OEM pack as well on this rom. so the TF2D shud run smoother on this rom compared to other roms available so far.
I'm going to flash this rom in a minute Love the way you went back to the WM5 menu ^^
Good work
Feels really good to see this ROM-release
Congrats man!

what values would it be when it would not revert to default?
I have a little CAB file here which may resolve things:

5000 is an optimal value. Using the included Schap's Advanced Configuration, go to HTC TouchFLO/Finger Pressure and change that value (around 2600 currently) to 5000. I find this number perfect for scrolling through contacts.
well dsixda, I have to say .. This is one fast ROM just changed the finger pressure setting manually and everything works smooth as silk Installed SMS-Chat, FunContact, Winterface, ... and the touch is flying ty for your hard work!
Very impressed so far. This rom has just about everything I like so we must have similar tastes.
Not tested it thoroughly yet (new roms have a tendency to play nice for a few days and then start doing odd things) but so far so good.
Thanks!
i'm late to congratulate but my best wishes for u
Transcriber
Okay, a very strange behaviour here. I like using Transcriber. If I use it with this rom (not seen this happen before) it loses all settings each time it starts (e.g. pen width, color etc). The settings in the registry are not lost when it restarts, it seems to reset the settings just as Transcriber starts.
Could someone else confirm if this is happening with them also?
Thanks.
congrats
a kind cooker for a nice rom
The Touch Tools thread has moved. For support and updates please goto the HD2 (Leo) Forum thread. Click Here!!
Be great to have everything in one place! Keep us posted!
Here's the "tweaks" I have used:
Nodata
Aktogglewifi
psShutXP (display off, turn off, soft reset)
FDCSoft TaskMgr
hc4 ObexInboxEx VGA (send bluetooth files to SD card)
htcAddicts CleanRAM (not sure if this works 100%)
David Andrs Batti (battery indicator across top of screen)
Showaco All_Programs (4 column Start, Programs for TF3D) - but the implementation isn't bug free
4 column programs and settings - WM standard
Rotation control
Would like to have better implementations of:
Birthday, anniversary reminder - currently using NS birthday
Short cut to Device lock (save wear & tear on hardware key) - the options around seem to take memory or resources
Cheers
will it be program like advanced config or hd tweak or diamond tweak only for topaz?
TD2 Tools - Programs Tab Fix - Released: 26/08/2009
If you are experiencing problems and bugs with the Programs Tab, you need to search for a patched manila file to make it function correctly. The setting option in TD2 Tools only Shows or Hides the Programs Tab.
so i guess you need to see what's in diamond+hd tweak & advanced config & sktools and pick from there whatever relevant for topaz.
A method for preventing the web browser from ever attempting to use 3G / EDGE for data connections while still allowing data for MMS.
Is such a thing possible?
Nice idea !
So,
- Allow TF3D2 in landscape
- Enable change of TF3D2 programme launcher background
- Enable change of colours and fonts of TF3D2
- Enable to add new shortcuts in the programme launcher page
- Boost TFL3D Performance
- Speed up camera shutter Speed
- Enable to change softkeys
- Enable assigning actions to hardware buttons
- Audio louder
Some already works on my Topaz but there is no app yet. So, thank you.
yes, there is a way to prevent the PDA from connecting to 3G and EDGE every time: settings - all settings - connections - advanced network - in the HSDPA/HSUPA tab, select enable HSDPA only. I did this and I've no problems...
post your views please people!
Some suggestions:
-TouchFLO: option to choose between wm6.5 start (or 6.1 start menu) & manila programs tab.
-Comm manager: option to set 8 buttons & choose which. (in advanced config i can choose 8 buttons & press ok it writes error but still saved).
-Camera: high res panorama, additional modes thats not enabled by default.
-Enable/Disable notifications manager.
-Enable/Disable threaded sms.
from advanced config:
-Performances settings.
-Power management settings.
from hd tweak:
-Call settings.
-Camera settings.
from sktools:
-Enable/Disable wifi-g
This might be good replacement for many tweaking app alltogether like hdtweak, advanced config, sktools, gconfig...
hope you make it......good luck!
Latest Update!!!!
White List integration is now implemented and fully functional! if you would like a chance to test the alpha version then please drop me a pm.
BR
I know I'm late but can you add functionality from the touchincall tweak also (maybe in next version)? would be very handy all tweaks in 1 prog. especially keeping light on while calling and putting it upside down for speaker/conference are nice!
hope you get it 2 work!
So Gurus .........
When this great tweak program will be up for try???
Hope it will be much user friendly than Advance Config. tool.
this somehow related to Tom's Topaz Setting Tool?

no, my program has nothing to do with this one, however, it looks really impressive compared to mine. I have designed mine with simplicity in mind, so it will only contain relavent settings to tweak.
Released! Grab it now!
Sounds very interesting, lyriquidperfection! Yet some screenshots would be highly appreciated...!
screenshots are to follow, havent got time at the minute, but feel free to test it and let me know what you think!
I installed it! It is nice... It would be good however, if the user (especially if he is of average knowledge, like me! ), knew what the default value in each setting is.

Bare WM 6.5 23034 Cooked ROM with unnecessary items removed.
Version 2 of this ROM is available in post #4 below. If you are not familiar with this ROM please read the description in post 1, and the "Tips" and "Known Issues" section in post #2 and #3 before proceeding to download the ROM from post #4.
UPDATED on Aug 29, 2009 - 4:00pm US Central Time
Starting with with September 10, 2009 I have decided to consolidate Bare WM 6.5 builds into only one (1) thread. I suggest you subscribe to the following thread to be kept abreast of future updates:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4469872&postcount=1
This ROM follows the same principles as the very popular Bare WM 6.5 23009 ROM which I posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547754
and the Bare WM 6.5 23028 ROM posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550256
It was cooked with the osKitchen (by OndraSter) which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540704
The ROM follows the principle of getting rid of unnecessary items in the Windows Mobile 6.5 source files in order to make as much RAM available on my Kaiser as possible after the installation of WM 6.5. However I didn't want to 'cripple' features that I needed/wanted to have installed.
The result is a ROM that uses about 32 MB of RAM while the Kaiser is idle (and before you install your own applications). That means that you will have close to 70MB of free RAM with this cooked ROM. The size of the cooked ROM flash image (the NBH file) is: 51 MB, leaving 154 MB of storage space available on the Kaiser.
What I may consider 'unnecessary files' may not be considered the same by others. Therefore I am listing the WM 6.5 items that I removed so that you can determine if this cooked ROM fits your needs. I am also enclosing a folder titled "XXXX- Kitchen Removed Sources.zip" which will show you EXACTLY what was removed. If you miss one of the removed items, simply move it back (to the same directory) and cook a ROM.
** General overview of what was removed:
- All of the non-essential OEM and EXT applications which normally ship with "Os Kitchen". I left only the OEM and EXT items which I found to be necessary for the normal operation of the ROM on the Kaiser. If through your own testing you find that one or more are unnecessary please let me know (as I would want to get rid of it as well!)
- Ringtones and other sound files which are not necessary for the normal operation of the ROM (if you miss one or more of those files you can easily put them in an SD card and access them from there)
- All files (CPR, Images, etc.) that relate to a resolution that is not supported by the Kaiser.
- The 'Calculator' application because there is plenty of great calculators for WM PPC out there, and I don't like to have software duplication.
- All "Windows Live" related stuff, because I don't use it.
- All 'games' that come with WM 6.5 because I don't use them, and there is much better games in the marketplace.
- IPSEC related files because I don't use that type of 'virtual tunnel'.
- LiveSearch because I prefer Google.
- Unnecessary Mobile Office templates
- Remote Desktop (because I don't use that software. I prefer RDM+, which I install separately...not in the ROM)
- Task Manager (because I prefer to install Advanced Task Manager...separately, not in the ROM)
- Skybox (because I don't use Microsoft 'My Phone' and related services.)
- Skymarket (because I don't need a software store on my phone)
- All Themes except for 'Classic Blue' (because I prefer to install my own themes...separately, not in the ROM)
- VOIP (because no VOIP application comes with WM 6.5, and VOIP applications like Skype work without these files. So they seem to be a waste of space. If anybody disagrees and can explain the purpose of those files please let me know.)
- Welcome Center (Because I am experienced enough with WM 6.5 that I don't need somebody to guide me)
- All Windows Mobile Widgets (because I prefer to install my own ....separately not in the ROM).
- Zip viewer (because I prefer to install my own compression/decompression software)
- Microsoft Auto Data Configuration (before I don't need MS to configure my data. I do that manually).
- Lock Screen Media player icons and images (because that feature of WM 6.5 has not been enabled by Microsoft yet)
- Time Bomb removed. You can enjoy this ROM for as long as you like.
*****
In addition to the file removals that I describe above, I made a few changes which apply to BOTH Chocolate and Vanilla Flavors of the ROM.
- I changed the boot screen back to the original HTC screen that says "smart mobility"
- I changed the animation screen back to the original HTC screen that has an animated HTC logo
- I changed the boot up sound to one that uses aprox 100K
- I changed the Windows start up screen to that of Windows Mobile 7
- I added software to fix the animation start up sound (which didn't work in the original build)
- I added software to fix the animation boot up screen (which was mixed with some other stuff that I removed)
- I added a registry entry that changes the default skin on Windows Media Player to Diamond Portrait.
- I added code to install 'Random Access' in the Contacts Screen. (allows quick access to people by clicking letter on the right margin)
- I added code to change the Start menu to a single column vertical list. I consider that MUCH more useful than the hexagon grid.
- I added a registry entry to remove the 'tap time' that is required when selecting items in WM 6.5 folders.
- I added a registry entry to allow two way phone conversations to be recorded with any 3rd party software.
- I added a registry entry to display 'Recording' in the phone menu (shows up in the menu only during a call)
- I fixed the Windows Start, X, OK buttons on the bottom toolbar (because Microsoft used the wrong size).
- I fixed the lock screen background wallpaper alignment.
- I changed the lock screen layout so that the scroll button is at the bottom and the time/appointment at the top.
- In addition the "Chocolate" flavor has these changes:
- Replaced the battery indicator for one that shows the percentage remaining (in increments of 10%), and changes color (White/Orange/Red) depending on the amount of battery remaining.
- Added Advanced Task Manager
- Replaced regular Comm Manager with a 6 item Comm Manager to replace the 3 item one that comes standard with WM 6.5

NOTE: For those who do not like the Chocolate or Vanilla flavors, I am making available the source files so that you can make any necessary changes to suit your taste. All my changes are in the EXT folder and are clearly labeled with "-PW" after the folder name. So you can choose to keep them or remove them based on your personal needs.
And here is an Spb Benchmark test on a fresh copy of this ROM. I don't know if this type of tests are trustworthy, and I have no benchmark to compare it with. All I can say is that the OS feels very fast and responsive. Don't base yourself on the benchmark. Try it and see if it works for you. It does for me.
Here are the files:
a)You can download the "Vanilla" flavored cooked ROM (which is ready to be flashed directly on your device) from here:

Enjoy!
IMPORTANT: The only thing that I ask in return for my contribution is that if you find more space savings you share them with me. I left several items in the OEM and EXT folders because I know for a fact that some of those items ARE needed for the correct functioning of critical features such as movie file playback. However some of those items may not be necessary. If you find out that they are not necessary, or you find other files in the SYS folder that could be removed without affecting performance, please let me know by posting a message on this thread.
Tips:
- After the ROM loads, go to phone settings (Start-Settings-Personal-Phone) and in the "Phone" tab select the Ring Type that you want to use. You can put Ringtones in any folder of your Kaiser and they will appear in the "Ring Type" pull down menu. I put them on external storage (SD Card) under a directory called "My Ringtones".
- Missing MMS Options. Standard Builds of WM 6.5 DO NOT come with MMS. To get MMS read other threads such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500869.
- HTC Task Manager missing. The source files do not have the HTC task manager and I don't like it anyway; so I purposely didn't install it. If you want the HTC task manager please install it on your own, or cook your own version of my ROM.
- OEM/EXT folders - If you cook your own ROM using my files, you will be able to identify what OEM/EXT packages were added by me, because I follow each package with "-PW". Packages that do not have "-PW" came with the osKitchen, and they appear to be necessary for the proper functioning of the ROM, but I am unable to provide an explanation since I didn't put them together. Contact OndraSter (the maker of osKitchen) in case you have a question about an OEM/EXT package that do not have "-PW" after it.
- Aligning Screen - After you install the new ROM, remember to align the screen. You can do that here: Start - Settings - System - Screen and align your screen from there.
- SIM Manager - Left out on purpose. If you want one, read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=79
- Missing 'owner information' in settings / personal. (ONLY applies to version 1 of this ROM. I have fixed this in version 2 of the ROM). This application was disabled by Microsoft, but fortunately you can enable it with a simply registry trick. Enabling this is critical as many 3rd party applications won't register properly without the owner information.
Remove the "Redirect" value in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
- Missing 'Input' in settings / personal. - This application was disabled by Microsoft, but you can enable it with a simply registry trick.
Remove the "Redirect" value in the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
- Migrating all your programs and settings - To migrate all your programs and settings use spb backup 2.0.2. Just make a backup of your Kaiser just before upgrading to this new build of WM 6.5, and after you install the ROM go to the place where you saved the backup and execute the file. Soon after you execute the backup file spb Backup will tell you that your ROM doesn't match and suggest that you use the "upgrade ROM" feature. Do it. If the restoration gets 'stuck' don't worry, it is normal. Just soft reboot your device and execute the same backup executable. This time it WILL finish. That's it. WARNING - DO NOT include Resco Keyboard Pro in the restoration. Resco keyboard is incompatible with build 23034 of WM 6.5 (see 'Known issues) below.
Disable Magnifying Glass - (ONLY applies to version 1 of this ROM. I have fixed this in version 2 of the ROM). If you find the new magnifying glass annoying (it pops up every time you double click) you can disable it with the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\MAGNIFIER]
"Enable"=dword:0
- Lock Screen (ONLY applies to version 1 of this ROM. I have fixed this in version 2 of the ROM). - If one receives more than 2 notifications the slide buttons for SMS, VoiceMail, Missed Call, and/or Email overlap with the main unlock button. To solve this issue you need to install a new lock screen layout file (cpr file). This issue is solved in version 2, so I suggest you upgrade; or if you know how to replace the lock screen cpr file download the source files for version 2 and replace the file in your PPC. This is for advanced users so I won't explain how to do it. You either know it, or you should upgrade the whole ROM.
Known Issues:
- Small Fonts get blurry on Titanium / Today Screen, and sometimes images on Today Screen plug-ins (such as Artesea Twmr 6.5r) get distorted. - This issue has been confirmed by other people cooking WM 6.5 23028 regardless of the cook or kitchen used. It seems to be an issue related to the Microsoft code, and I am unable to fix it. ---> Applies to both version 1 and 2
- Dialog boxes of WM 6.5 have an unfinished selection circle as stated by me in the following post (picture also available) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4385259&postcount=434 ---> Applies to both version 1 and 2
- Sashimi 8.0 Auto function doesn't seem to be able to select the storage card during the auto install process of cabs, which results in all software being installed on the main memory of the Kaiser. This is provably related to the 'under the hood' changes that Microsoft incorporated in this build ---> Applies to both version 1 and 2
- spb Keyboard Pro 5.22 - This new build of WM 6.5 is NOT compatible with spb Keyboard Pro v. 5.22. The installation seems to go OK, the logo on the toolbar changes to the spb keyboard logo, etc. However the keyboard can not be opened and other windows mobile 6.5 build 23034 applications stop working such as file manager. ---> Applies to both version 1 and 2
Version 2 - Bare WM 6.5 build 23034 ROM:
Version 2 of this ROM fixes some of the bugs that were reported earlier. You can find out what was fixed by reading the "Tips" and "Known Issues" portions of this thread.
In addition to fixing the issues documented there, I have made the following changes:
- Removed "Advanced Task Manager" from the Chocolate version (the vanilla version never had it), because the new task manager that comes with this build of WM is very good. This also offers you the possibility to add a task manager that fits more with your taste (in case you don't like the one that comes with this build of WM 6.5)
- Reduced the size of the battery indicator that I include with the chocolate version (the Vanilla version never had it). Now it only uses about 11 KB instead of almost 500k before. Since that program is running all the time, this improvement alone saves almost 1/2 MB in RAM usage on version 2 of this ROM. The functionality remains the same It shows the percentage remaining (in increments of 10%) above the graphical depiction of the battery, and changes color (White/Orange/Red) depending on the amount of battery remaining. I have tried many other battery indicators (including some that have the percentage inside the battery) and this is the one I like most.
- Replaced the Start Menu button with a color version instead of the white one that I included with version 1. Below I am enclosing a screen shot so that you can see what it looks like. The rest of the ROM looks exactly like it is depicted in version 1 above (except for the advanced task manager which was removed from all flavors of the ROM).

Eagerly Awaiting
Waiting to try this rom, since it has so much available RAM and ROM.
thank you
Thank you for this ROM and moreover for your PM. The reason I am waiting to try this ROM is cause, after having tried all the ROMS, have noticed there always is some stuff I do not need. Tried cooking, but unable to make much progress. Have always wanted a ROM without windows live messenger, windows search, skybox and all that windows crap.
Just a suggestion, though, if you could include the other battery icon, the one in which the percentage shows inside the battery. Only a suggestion though, which you could consider. The percentage figure is a little larger and so easier to read. Am attaching the cab.
Also, there is this new MOTO today screen, have you tried that?
Am downloading your ROM now, will post comments, if any.
Thank you once again.

I like the idea of having a battery meter that has the percentage inside. However I like the fact that my current choice changes to orange when it reaches about 40%, and to red when it reaches 20%. Can you point me to the source page where you got the cab file you sent me to see if they have the one that is white until it reaches 40%, then orange until it reaches 20% and then red?

I have never heard of the MOTO screen. Can you point me to it so that I can check it out? I have to say that I am quite happy with Titanium, so the MOTO screen would have to be darn good for me to consider it.
aaaaaaabbbbbb
mortifying,
I posted this new ROM only today. So if you had problems with a ROM last night, then it must have been some other ROM and not mine.
This ROM works well as long as you do not try to restore your settings from previous ROM using spb backup. For some reason the "rom upgrade" feature of spb backup doesn't seem to be possible with 23034; I guess Microsoft changed a lot of the registry entries.
If you restore your settings with spb backup you will experience erratic behavior with 23034; but it has nothing to do with the 23034; it has to do with the restoration process which messes up the registry entries.
moto home screen is quite good the only draw back is the ram it consumes, about 17mb, so ya its pretty and all but thats alot of ram

That's a no starter for me. I cooked these Bare ROMs because I want to maximize RAM and get rid of stuff I consider 'junk'; so using 17 MB for a Start Up screen is out of the question for me. Back in the WM 6.1 days I used spb shell 3.01, and I liked it; but the Titanium screen is quite powerful when used with plugins and I am quite satisfied by it. In combination with my modified start menu it fulfills all my needs. The only thing I don't like about the Titanium (today screen) is that the small fonts get a bit blurry over time.
btw i think you misunderstood me XD, moto home is a replacement for titanium, not a home screen image, if thats what you think im referring too

I looked at your your battery meter suggestion and I like the idea of having the percentage inside the battery but your proposal uses a dll file which is inefficient, as it has a bunch of icons that do not pertain to the battery meter.
I found another battery meter with the percentage inside the battery where the dll is only 50K (instead of 1174K), so I am going to consider using that one; but before I roll it out I will have to edit the icons so that from 40% to 20% the icons are orange, and then from 20% to 0% red. I like that visual clue.

Isn't spb shell also a titanium replacement? Anyway, regardless of whether it replaces or sits on top of titanium there is no way I am going to install something that consumes 50% of what the whole operating system consumes when it is on idle.
well its just like m2d, regardless i was just answering your question about you not knowing what moto screen did or what it was, and now you do =)

CHANGELOG IN POST 3 - CHECK THERE FOR LATEST VERSION INFO
Well here it is, finally! What started out as three of us playing about with basic layouts and text colours has morphed into 6 weeks worth of work in my spare time creating from scratch a completely new WVGA theme for Weatherpanel. Every layout has been written from scratch, pretty much every icon, background, transition, etc has been created specifically for DDT (except the actual weather icons which is a modified set of Rumball's static Diamond VGA icons as they are without doubt the best weather icon set out there) and this is the result - we hope you like it!
This thread originally started out as a tutorial for getting Weatherpanel up and running on your HD2, giving it somewhere to live (in our case Second Today from Chi-Tai) and linking it using CHTE to be the default weather app. I've removed most of the rather longwinded background behind the project from this post as I'm sure most of you have read it by now, however for new visitors to our little HD2 WP community, welcome and we hope you find what you're searching for here! Weatherpanel really is the most comprehensive weather app out there - it may be old but it is still the best as far as information, accuracy and user customisation goes. Now with this new theme we reckon that visually and from an intuitive UI point of view it blows the other weather apps away (and it's free!)
Before we start I must give credit where due to Marsware, the original creators of Weatherpanel, Chi-Tai for Second Today and of course the remarkable Mssrs Cookiemonster & JCM for the unbelievably superb CHT & CHTE without all of whom none of this would have been possible. Thanks also to my two brothers in insomnia - Davej and Troed whose initial tweaks to the original Phatphinger and Diamond themes set us off down this road in the first place, and for keeping me going over the last few weeks - thanks guys!
Right, so here's why - Basically, fed up with the lack of information on the Sense weather tab I was looking for a way to click on the weather section of the Home tab and be taken to a much better weather app than the weather tab. Days and weeks of searching and experimentation finally led me to the following solution - Weatherpanel (an old WM Today plugin) given a home in Second Today which is in turn set as the preferred weather app in CHTE. It is all beautifully simple and works perfectly.
Let's get this out of the way before we start in BIG RED LETTERS:
This does not replace the Sense weather tab !!!
It is still there and can be accessed from your slider as usual. This setup simply directs a touch on the weather element of CHT to Second Today & Weatherpanel.
About DAVEJ's Animated Icon Set
My very good friend Dave has spent way too many hours editing Rumballs original VGA animated icon set and resizing the various sets to make them fit this theme. The icons set is huge at over 88Mb! Unfortunately WP uses a rather crude MNG image format (renamed .wpa) which means very large files compared to gifs. As a consequence the size of the main screen large animated icons has had to be kept smaller than we would ideally have liked because to make them the same size as the static icons would have meant each file was way over 10mb and caused WP to run at a snails pace or crash altogether. So Dave arrived at the best compromise he could to balance size over performance. The smaller sets are absolutely fine. We have culled frames in many of them to keep the overall size down and have made them all single play. And as you go up in the various sizes Dave has thinned out the sets progressively until the Huge ones on the main screen have just the most common weather types animated and the rest are static (otherwise you'd have had a 150Mb icon set!). They do slow WP down a bit but we think they are well worth it! We all run both icon sets and themes and switch between them as the mood takes us...
IF YOU WANT TO USE THE ANIMATED ICONS YOU MUST INSTALL THE RELEVANT AI (ANIMATED ICON) VERSION OF THE THEME AFTER THE MAIN INSTALL HAS COMPLETED - INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED BELOW!
Here is the walkthrough:
IMPORTANT FOR NEW USERS AND EXISTING USERS UPDATING TO THE NEW THEME:
For some reason the maximum useable screen area for WP differs between 6.5 and 6.5.x ROMS. Basically in 6.5 ROMs WP can be set to a maximum visible height of 720 pixels, whereas 6.5.x can go to 760 pixels (proper full screen below your taskbar). Also, we have discovered that Weatherpanel takes it's time format from your main phone settings (12hr/24hr) and as the layouts I originally wrote were for 24hr there were errors on screen if you are using 12hr time format. I have therefor created two complete versions of the theme so make sure you download the correct one for your WM version, each with three layout options in both 12 and 24hr format, otherwise the theme will not look right and you may be left with a scrollbar and overlapping elements on screen. Also, you must pay particular attention to the setup instructions for Second Today on first run - Disable Command Bar - as otherwise you will not get full screen and instead will have an unsightly scrollbar down the right hand side of your screen.
FULL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR NEW USERS
(ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANIMATED ICON SET IN THIS COLOUR)
There are two cab files linked to below which will do 90% of the installation for you. Make sure you download the correct cab for your WM version (6.5 or 6.5.x). Both cabs can be used for installs with or without CHT, and include the necessary reg settings for both CHT 1.8.5 and CHT 2.0
1. Download the relevant cab file for your WM version:
COMPLETE CAB INSTALL FOR WM 6.5
COMPLETE CAB INSTALL FOR WM 6.5.x
If you want the option of using Dave's animated icon set you will also need to download and unzip the relevant additional AI (Animated Icons) theme folder :
ANIMATED ICONS ADD-ON FOR WM 6.5
ANIMATED ICONS ADD-ON FOR WM 6.5.x
2. Download and unzip one or both of the icon sets:
STATIC ICON SET
DAVEJ'S ANIMATED ICON SET
IMPORTANT - When unzipping files you may find that you end up with a folder within a folder (DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons>DDT Mod Diamond WVGA Static Icons, same with icons folder) - Make sure you take the 'inner' folder out and use it to copy as if you forget to do this the icons will not appear in Weatherpanel
3. Install the cab to your storage card (you can put it in main memory if you like but the icon files will need to go there too and they are big folders (around 17Mb for the Static Icons and 88Mb!!! for the Animated Icons) - it runs perfectly well from the SD card). The cab will then install Second Today automatically to your device, and Weatherpanel and the theme to your storage card.
4. When the cab finishes intalling Weatherpanel runs through an extract process and will probably leave you with a WP window asking you to select language (default is English). Select your language then press your hardware back key. Then you can click OK as normal after a cab install.
5. Now you need to copy the complete unzipped icon set folder(s) to Storage Card>Program Files>Marware>Weatherpanel>Icons. If you are installing the animated icon set you also now need to install the unzipped AI theme folder to Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes
6. SOFT RESET
7. Now you need to open Weatherpanel for the first time. If you are using CHT then simply touch on the weather element of your home tab. If you are not using CHT then you need to go to Start Menu>Second Today and click on Second Today. First time you open it you will either get a blank screen with a message at the top saying invalid layout or you will see the Second Today settings window. If you see the few lines of text at the top of an otherwise blank screen then simply touch on this message and it will open the Weatherpanel settings screen. If you see the Second Today settings window it means that the ST settings haven't 'stuck' during the install so you need to do the following before proceeding:
7.1. On the plugins tab check the box beside Weatherpanel and make sure NO other boxes are checked
7.2. Still on the plugin tab check 'Use Custom Background' and then browse to whatever wallpaper you want for your main WP screen - don't use anything too light as some of the text won't show up!
7.3. On the display tab delete any text in the Window-Title box
7.4. Check the box beside 'Disable Command Bar' - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Once you have made these changes click on the right softkey to accept the settings and you will be taken to the blank screen with the few lines of text at the top (touch on the text at the top of the screen), or directly to the WP settings window.
8. You then need to set up Weatherpanel by doing the following:
NB There is no confirm or back softkey in the WP settings screen so once you have entered all you need to on a certain screen you need to press your hardware back key to return to the previous screen or to exit settings altogether.
8.1 Add your cities (NOTE - WP does not utilise My Location so you have to manually enter locations you want weather info for) which is just a case of clicking 'Add New', then entering your city name in the 'Search For' box.
8.2 Once you’ve added each new city you then need to add weather images for each city (if you want weather maps to show up). If all your cities are in the same part of the world (i.e. Europe) then you just need to add the same image(s) for each city. I’m in the UK so all my cities use the same Europe maps. For more info on finding and adding weather images look HERE and try http://www.weathercharts.org/ - thanks again Troed
8.3 Once you’ve added all your cities and images click on the Display tab. The theme, icon set and layout are all already preselected by the cab install. You do however have a choice of six possible DDT layouts to select from in the Layout dropdown list (V2+, V2Mid, V2Lite in either 12 or 24hr format - see below). Select the layout you would like to try first, and make sure you select the correct version for the time format you use on your phone. If you are wanting to use the animated icons and have followed the instructions correctly to this point you need to change the Theme to the AI theme you will have in the Theme dropdown. Then simply choose your preferred layout as before, and in the Icon dropdown select the Animated icon set.
Once you’ve done this then click your hardware back key and you should then see the main WP display for the first city in your list. The left/right arrows beside the location name let you scroll through your cities. To exit the WP screen back to wherever you were simply click your hardware back or home key.
Job done
If once you've followed the installation instructions you are having any issues with not seeing the full screen, or having a scrollbar down the right hand side of the screen (and you have definitely installed the correct version of the theme for your WM version) please do the following:
With Weatherpanel open press your hardware Start Menu button. The open the Second Today folder and click on SToday Settings. In the Display tab make sure that 'Disable Command Bar' is checked. Exit by pressing the right softkey and Weatherpanel should now look correct.
About User Translation
THIS WILL ONLY WORK WITH DDT V2 - NOT PREVIOUS VERSIONS
This final edition of the theme is now fully user translatable through the use of the lang.txt file attached at the bottom of this post. All you need to do is download the file, open it in any text editor (Notepad is perfect for the job) and translate the text on the right hand side of each entry. The attached sample is for German users so if you want DDT in German then simply use this file! Once you've completed your translation save the file as lang.txt and copy it to the main Weatherpanel folder on your storage card (Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel).
There are a few things to bear in mind when you are translating:
1. Please stick as closely as possible to the number of characters in the english version of each text entry as this is the text the theme was designed around and if you increase the number of characters it will mess up the look of the theme or the text may not display at all.
2. You will be limited to the language specific characters available in the fonts used in DDT (Helvetica and Helvetice Neue Thin) so probably no Chinese or Russian translations?
3. Once you have translated I apologise if some of the grammar or syntax doesn't track perfectly but again the theme is written in English and although I have done my best to break the text up in such a way that when translated it makes sense there may be one or two elements that aren't perfect!
If you do translate the lang.txt into something other than German (or if you produce a better German one than mine!) please post it in the thread with the filename lang_*language*.txt (i.e. lang_french.txt) and I will compile a library of translation files in the second post.
Dave and I also reckon there should be a prize for the most amusing English adaptation of the text - do and English to English translation but substitute where relevant for amusing alternatives (ie Snow=Jeez, it's cold out here etc...)

Main screen layout options and navigation overview
V2+
V2Mid
V2Lite
There are three options for the main screen in the theme - V2+ (shown on the left above with two hide/reveal panels to play with), V2Mid (shown in the centre with the 5-day forecast permanently displayed and a hide/reveal info panel) and V2Lite (shown on the right above withboth the info and forecast panels permanently displayed). In the V2+ and V2Mid layouts the info panel is opened with the info button on the left hand side of the screen, and in the V2+ layout the five day forecast panel is opened by clicking on the five suns at the very bottom of the screen. Once the forecast panel is open you can then click on each day to be taken to a full forecast summary for that day.
Most elements on the main screen are clickable as shown above, and in each subsequent screen you will find a shortcut navigation panel on the top right of the screen allowing you direct access to anywhere else in WP you might wish to go. In addition, wherever the moon appears in the theme you can click on it to be taken to the Lunar Schedule page. It would take me forever to explain the function of every element in the theme, but as they are all very intuitive and each screen is fully self-explanatory I'll just let you play around and discover it all for yourself! You can't break it by playing around too much so have fun! As a rough guide however the various screens are as follows:
Main screen - contains all relevant current weather data (with info panel open), 5 day overview (with forecast panel open, sunrise/sunset times, local time for location selected, current moon phase, current temp, etc
1 - Current conditions screen - gives a bit more detail along with a 24 hour combined temp/rain chart
2 - 10-day summary page - each day is clickable to access the main forecast page for that day
3 - Lunar Schedule - with current and next moon phase info
4 - Charts page - four hourly/daily charts showing forecast max/min temp, precipitation, windspeeed and humidiy
5 - Full forecast page - Day and evening forecasts for the selected day, plus moon info
6 - Radars page - where web weather images, traffic cam images, etc you specify in your radars.txt appear and can animate. The player buttons are hidden when you first open an image page - to open the controls simply touch and hold on the image for a second or so and the buttons will appear.
If you are in Europe then you can download the attached radar.txt file and overwrite the one in the Weatherpanel folder on your storage card as it contains several more Europe radar image URLs.
Hope this walkthrough helps anyone else out there as thick as me to get there a lot quicker than I did! Now I have four questions for the clever people out there to do with things that would make it better but which I have no chance of finding a solution to on my own:
Any questions/suggestions please feel free to ask.
Enjoy
One word of warning - WP can be pretty data intensive so beware! I have two cities and four weather images and the update size is around 1MB, so if I have it set on hourly updates I can easily hit 10MB+ each day. I only hook up on wifi at home and work so not a problem, but if you are using mobile data you may want to keep an eye on it.

FAQs
FAQs & Add-ons
City name cut off or overlapping left/right arrows - When you search for your city in the WP Add City screen it will appear in the Name box at the top of the screen as City, Country. In a lot of instances this will make the name too long to fit on screen in the space I have allowed. All you need to do is edit the City name in the Name box at the top of the screen to either remove or abbreviate the Country or State name and it should now fit. Also if you cannot find your tiny village in the search then just search the nearest large town, select it and edit the name in the top box to that of your village.
Can I use other WP icon sets - No. I have edited the Diamond VGA icon set, which has included adding in some missing ones and creating a full new set of resized moon icons. The theme also uses 5 different sizes of icons which other sets will not necessarily have.
Does it work with My Location - No. I am hoping someone far cleverer than me may pick this up and find a way of making it work but I'm afraid this is far beyond my meagre skills!
Animated icons? - Davej is currently working on an animated set of the main screen icons but at present the set is about 120Mb+ and slow to run so don't hold your breath - it may take some time!
Scrollbar showing on right hand side of screen - Either you are using a 6.5 ROM and have not followed the instructions for overwriting the 6.5 optimised files, or you have not followed the last instruction in Step 9 to Disable Command Bar in Second Today settings
Multiple city images overlapping when switching between cities - HERE - Thanks fmlarsen
Waiting for storage card error message - HERE - Thanks scandiskfr
Get rid of annoying beeps and alert noises - HERE - Thanks davej
To add additional weather images - Search online on your PC for current weather forecast for desired location. Once you've found a weather map/satellite image/radar image/etc that you want to use right click on it and select properties. Then copy the URL from the properties box. Open the radars.txt file from your WP folder using Notepad on your PC. You then need to add a name for the image, then hit enter and on the next line paste the URL (it'll make sense when you open the file!). Note - quite a few of the good looking weather images you'll find will be flash so you won't be able to incorporate them. Also try http://www.weathercharts.org/ and look HERE for more info Troed has posted on this
Sunrise/sunset times not showing correctly in 12hr format - MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SELECTED ONE OF THE 12hr LAYOUTS IN THE DROPDOWN LIST
LITE version - If you would prefer to have the two popout panels (info and 5-day forecast) permanently displayed on the main screen there are two layout options in the theme folders available for download in the first post. Open WP settings and select DDT_Ultimate_V1Lite in the layout menu.
For Lite users - if you would prefer not to have the semi-transparent background behind the info panel 996r has created a fully transparent version which you can download HERE - just overwrite to the DDT theme folder.
Changing the background on all screens - The custom background you select during the setup process for Second Today is the background that will appear on the main screen only. If you want to apply the same (or any other background image) to the rest of the WP screens (with the exception of the Lunar Schedule and Detailed Forecast screens which use specific custom backgrounds) then you need to make a background image exactly 480x788 in png format, name it bkg.png and overwrite the one in the DDT theme folder. Restart WP and there you go.
Android causing problems with Weatherpanel - Look HERE - many thanks to jaguaralani for this one You'll have to follow his instructions for both the V1+ and V1Lite wpl's if you have both in the theme folder
GPS Setting - On the Connection tab in WP Settings there is an option for setting the GPS Port and Baud Rate. This does absolutely nothing so don't bother with it. The original developer of the core WP software disappeared in 2005 and it has remained pretty much unedited since then. This was something that appears to have been being planned for a later revision but that never happened.
For US Users - In some parts of the US Weatherpanel will provide weather alerts for certain conditions. As I don't get these in the UK I hadn't thought to do anything about an alert POPUP so WP uses the one from the default theme folder which isn't very pretty! I'll have a go at putting one together but as I can't test it it will be good luck if it looks any good! In the meantime Troed has edited the default one to be a bit more readable. Download and unzip the Alert.zip from this post and copy the Alert.wpx into Storage Card>Program Files>Marsware>Weatherpanel>Themes>DDT Ultimate

I don't think so. The closest solution would be one similar to here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563150 - where you'd need to use MTP or similar to add a new tab in manila then deselect Sense weather tab in display settings. You'd then need to find the right bit of the registry to edit for CHT to then send you to the new tab when touching on the home tab weather element?
I didn't want to do this as it seems like far too much hassle and the solution above is really easy to implement.
Thanks a ton. Great instruction. Only problem: The Name of my city in the main screen is cut on both sides (as if it was too long), but there is still a lot of space to the edges of the screen. Any suggestions?
super, but, can i have this app in one .cab please, i'm geek ;p
thank you
I have followed everything step by step multiple times but when I get to the step to choose the layout, I don't see the option on the drop down for Phat+265.wpl, any ideas on this? Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Thanks for a great walk-through

I had this too, sorry forgot to mention it! Basically I found that when you go into WP settings to add or edit one of your cities you just remove the country name from after the city name in the very top box on the screen, then just hardware back key and it is saved - job done!

Can someone confirm it working on HTC-Stock-ROM 1.48 GER (Sense 2.5.1921xxxx, WM 6.5, no .x) ??????????????

Yes it does as it is not integrated in Sense and therefore dependent on the SenseVersion or something (like the Sense-Tab-Integrated-Version you might have seen somewhere). This Proggi is fully based on SecondToday which should even run on WinMob2003

pretty cool.. good job.. hopefully a cab will be issued
1000 Tx for the prompt answer. This forum is a treasure ...........
