i was just much curious about this , so i am asking This .
Hope the devolpers and Cotulla will not mind to answer it

HTC Home (and the rest) are additions to the ROM, you can search for them here in the forum and you' probably find them all (or some alternatives). As an example, I'm running HTC Home on my Jam with no issues.
I think that Cotulla is trying to keep the ROMs are small and streamed as possible to offer only the basic functionality (this is great for devices with smaller RAMs, such as mine).

You can install HTC Home yourself,Cotulla only want to make clean ROMs,because someone would like HTC Home but someone wouldn't.
Too many additions will slow down your device and drain more power.

Ok , Got The answer , Thanks for It .
Any Short and easy method for Installing HTC HOME
thanks

Thanks for The Link
Its working but my device is bit slow
but any link for
sliding panel
i wanna try this

I'm sorry but I just have to respond on this. Cottulla makes a small OS for the Magician on purpose, like xiaojin1985 said. And after installing the Home you say your device is slowing down... of course it is! Old device with new memory draining features will slow down your device. Plz remind to read .

^^^
I am 100% agree with you as now i have test it myself .
But
i have seen how much Slow the magician become after installing HTC HOME ,
but maybe i can afford that slowness if the sliding panel will work on magician as i love them.
so as i said
is there any chance for sliding panel plugins
thanks
(sorry for bad English)

Slithers Cube...

Have u guys tried to install Slithers SCLPC++ on ur smartphone? I tried, works good, all the animations n stuff...looks really cool...only downpart cant press any of the buttons, i put forward the following in slithers thread:
"
Hey slither.....great work.....i went to the edgelib site n it stated there that it can be installed on smartphone....so i went ahead n installed it...works like a charm (just the cube roatating and all) but neverthe less its probably the best interface so far i have had for a non touch screen....
There are a few things though i would like to ask you:
1. Is it possible to assign the opening of the icons (music, programs, contacts) to the numberpad, that way it will be fully functional on smartphones as well.
2. The centre button of the Dpad assigned for opening app rather than closing SCLPC (only for smartphone, for PPC i thnk the present config is best)
3. Make some function for up key in dpad of smartphone, like the same function as swipe in touch screen does?
Is this possible bud?
Keenly waiting for what u have to say.
Thanks alot bud,
Once again great app.....
"
What do u guys think? If we can be generous we can probably get slither to make it functional for our non-touchscreen phones.....and it looks amazing....
Sound's cool, what the thread url so we can post more requests for smartphone? Maybe ifhe knows there's a demand, he'll help us out.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358102
I will post a video of how it runs on my phone soon.....
and heres the download that ran on my phone:
http://rapidshare.com/files/89795344/SCLPC___3D_0-051__WM05-WM06_.zip
I have uploaded the video, its in the cube3d.zip file....its in 3gp format...its not that clear cause its recorded from mobile, but i have displayed 3 of the skins i downloaded and how it looks......
Let me know what you guys think
i always wanted to test this app on my phone but i always though it woulndt work, but for my surprise it does,il be willing to post on the authors original post so that he can know that we smartphone users want hes app fully functional on our phones.
Did anyone manage to convey our message to him? I was thinking if he can not do it, probably ask him if he could give us the source and we can get someone who is good at c++ to do it...i know someone who might be able to...
What do u guys think?

X7510 Keyboard for use in X7501 !

Hi everyone at this forum ,
Please let me know whether I can use the X7510 keyboard for my old HTC Advantage X7501 . I saw on YouTube that both keyboards looks almost the same on the connecting pins area , and if it can be used , then it is quite cool as there is an additional number row compare to the old one . I wonder whether the haptic feel will work if use this way . Thanks and best regards
keybddr.dll from a x7500 or x7501 rom and place it to windows folder, overwrite the one that exists and you are done. after that only the old keyboard works, if you change it again the one from x7510 will work again
Dear Johnripper ,
Thanks for your info , it's really cool to be able to switch use both keyboards with both handsets , i appreciate your reply

Which 6.1 English ROM/Kitchen should I choose?

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on running such an active worldwide community all linked by just one devotion to technology. This is my first post though I have been following this forum for a while. I am getting a new Tornado ( The deal was unbeatable!!) and I am pretty much excited.
I am searching for a cutting(/bleeding) edge ROM or even a Kitchen to spice up my new Tornado and I am prepared to learn the tricks and tools required to have a fully-functional and bug-free ( I hope I can, with your help!) 6.1 ROM having all the important and offering good usability and functionality to the end user ( ME! ).
So, what do you suggest? I am prepared for a steep learning curve, that usually accompanies this kind of a quest
My Opinion ...
I use actualy BlacKura Wm 6.1 Profesional rom. I like the fonts, are small, and the resolution is like PC screen. I wass able to install SPB Menu Shel 2.14, what i like most, + is a Office build in. What is verry useeful at least for me.
Lacks? Hmmm there are some aplications specialy donne for SP (smartphone) what tell me it can't been instaling on this device, what i understand because this rom is not designed for SP.
If u actually try this rom ( remeber to free your aplication lock) , remember u have a fake cursor ( like a mouse what u can use with joystick ) , what can be enabled by pressing home key for 3 secs ( that one what enable the Start menu)
Other ROms ( beleve me i wass tryd almost all) i dont like, the fact are kinda WM5 ( big fonts , menu like anyother cell without WM ).
Regards Camelia .
Touchscreen?
Actually even I am looking for a ROM with a small font size. And judging by what you say, the ROM supports the programs written for a touchscreen device, right?
So how do you operate the cursor, I mean how do you click or drag? Is this method fast? I found out that the ROM is fast, but I could not get the way it works. So please shed some light on this.
If you like profesional ROMs, try also kamikadze's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455950
It is great looking, small font. As for how to use professional ROMs that are ment for touchscreen devices, as kingoldstyle suggested, use SPB Menu Shell application, it allows you to move through menus very quickly using number buttons. Also, sursor can be activated and moved with a joystick, not so fast and comfortable, but I rarely use it with mine phone, only when I need to set alarm. Other than that, I dont need cursor.
Shell?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
And where can I get the Shell?
Apps
Should I install touchscreen or smartphone applications in this ROM?
And what is the performance benefit when compared to the Smartphone ROM?
Will the Professional ROM support Point UI in the Faraday?
You can try them all. Some touchscreen applications are difficult and slow to use, so its up to you to decide what you want with your phone. I use smartphone applications mostly. I installed professional ROM because I like the good look of it (in combination with spb shell). The ROM is very fast, I didnt measure their performance, because when I installed it for the first time I just loved it. Some people here say its faster.
Check your PM.
I tested Point UI Home 1.51 on my Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) with WM Professional ROM and works great and I don't need use FakeCursor.
I think that, Professional ROM is faster than Smartphone ROM on HTC Tornado. I use Professional ROM on my smartphone about 9 months and I wouldn't return on smartphone ROM.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot, everybody.
I shall upgrade as soon as it reaches me.
Oh, the wait!!!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you tried SPB shell, and if yes, do you find PointUI better, and why?
Goran_: for me is better Point UI than SPB Mobile Shell. Point UI is faster and nicer for me.

=>Need help regarding WM 6.1 experience

Hellow guyz, Yesterday i traded my blue angel with Tornado
Now i have installed rose v20279 WM6.1 rom which isa bit slow in typing SMS characters.
I want a WM6.1 rom which is most fast responsive to key strokes.
Plz guide me and thanx for looking into this thread (which most ppl dont do, i mostly help others but now i want it)
[/b]
I know no one will ever care to reply and I amd tired of volume control bug in rose's rom, also slow response is driving me crazy
I already know that every one here is in miserable condition to jsut figure out whats best for himself, So, I should STFup and start downloading about 200MB of roms and testing them myself[/b]
Try Pro
The WM 6.1 Kamikadze is the best rom that I have used so far. As always YMMV. The texting is great as it is very fast. And I can tune xT9 to work as I want it to. Actually, the whole interface is real fast. Out of the 6-7 6.1 roms that I have used, I liked this one the most..
Borther just a quick question on the go:
Will installing a professional rom on smartphone invoke any complexity regarding touch screen responses?
How are the touch screen responses covered in that rom?
THANK YOU FOR THE COME BACK
I am also using Kamikadze Pro ROM it is really great experience.. No complexity at all. only thing is you may need to asign some shortkeys for your convenience.
You can try disabling the text prediction, it might speeds things up
dark_prince,
I see what you are talking about. I had to read your post in the Rose thread to understand. It sounds like you are not using t9.
If I use "abc" mode and enter letters really fast it will occasionally miss one. I don't see this behavior with t9 or xt9.
I run the Akeo rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426499) and it is the fastest rom I have used, hands down. It boots in half the time of Nitro's 6.0 rom. I'm sure that the Rose rom is comparable. Akeo's does have drawbacks (no WiFi or Midi) if you care. I haven't used a PRO rom, but I highly doubt that it will make life easier.
My only suggestion is to embrace t9. It really does make typing faster.
-Scott
Hey thanx for the comeback.
actually, in SMS, there are alot of constraints
-> 160 characters limit
-> English is not my native language
-> T9 usually types the civilized English (with full spellings)
I prefer Wifi, i already did tested akeo rom and only drawback it has is of wifi(which i need alot at university)

TF3D for omnia ????

I know stop saying it, HTC forum ! But I'm talking about an HTC interface !
So the thing is I read somewhere that the reason for not being able to make TF3D work on an omnia is that it deosn't have ( excuse my ingnorance...please ) a specifique programme that alows 3D animations. Well need I remind you that Mobile Shell 3.x uses a caroussel like view for a couple of interfaces ! Like the contacts and the diffenrent pages available !
Now if possible could someone inlighten me on the Ys !! AND if by any chance I tikled someones curiousity, well...keep me informed please !
Thanks in advance !
