Hi all!
I'm just wondering if there in any way (soma CAB maybe) to put some icons-shortcuts (e.g. 3 or 4) to Home Tab in Manila 2.1.19202517?
I have this version of Manila cooked in EnergyROM so I have this big White Clock with weather, Call History and Calendar beneath. When one slide a finger up on the clock it gets minimalized to much smaller one at the top of the screen and there is plenty room under Calendar for e.g. shortcut to camera, browser, notes... whatever!
Is this possible to put some icons there. It would be... fantastic! I'm using HTC Touch Pro with again: Manila 2.1.19202517 cooked in EnergyROM Phoenix 2 (WM6.5).

Use Sense 2.5
There is a EnergyRom available which has Sense 2.5 included.

Thanks man, but I did so many changes to my present software (I have loaded tons of CAB files so far) and personalized TP on my own way that doing it all again with another ROM is a little bit scary
After all You have to HR the phone after installing a new ROM and all Your data and personalization is lost, right?
Maybe simply there is a CAB to do what I want without changing absolutely everything?
Or is there a way to back up all my data and presets... installing a brand new ROM... and then restore my programs, personalization and all?
im looking for the same thing, i couldnt get 2.5 to work with MMS picture mail so i went back to 2.1 and i want the program shortcuts on the home tab also.. is there such a thing for 2.1?
Anyone? Nothing?
Someone is working on it but nothing yet
New Touch Pro 2 user (replaced original TP) Stock Verizon ROM
Dumb question - everything I see on WinMo 6.5 talks about the Titainum home screen. If I turn off HTC Sense to get the stock WinMo 6.5 stuff I see the old 6.1 WinMo Home screen. What gives?
Had this thing 2 days, like it but already thinking about a cooked ROM Want fast and all on one page - time, date, mail in each mailbox, upcoming appointments, missed calls, voicemail waiting yes/no.
The 6.1 style home page would be passable but the new honeycomb start menu sucks.
Anyone else not understand why the rest of the word loves these slide/flick/chase-the-icon-you-want-with-your-thumb-while-it-slides-away interfaces?
I have no idea why people want that.
It's there.....

Thanks manbat, I see what you mean. Feeling a little out of the current fashion for this stuff - the interface that looks best to me is the classic WinMo one - no sliding around and everything on the front screen at a glance.
Not slick looking like Sense, but quick and useful (except the ridiculous Start menu). Any other dinosaur like me feel the same?

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

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

TAEL, is that a ROM type or the maker of the ROM ?
Thanks
Rom
Yes TAEL is the chef of the rom.
I am currently using captains manilla 2.1 rom. Pretty basic uses the old TF3D type interface. but still has newer features. The only thing missing would be the facebook app. but that can be installed via cab. Seems to be simple enough yet has plenty of tools to get the job done. It has the simple HTC task manager as well.
Does Pointui.Home.1.5a.Wm5. work on it
Ahh I see it says WM5 I wonder if that why it doesn't work on mine.
Trying the Cpts one, systems font seems smaller and I can't seem to find any O2 UK set up cab anywhere
Font size???
It does enlarge through screen settings but I can try and find a magnifier that could swipe across the screen. Of course most of the chefs have knowledge enough to make a "handicapped" rom as microsoft sells it in windows. (Magnifier , speech etc.)
What would be good is an App like the iPhone one that turns the phone into a magnifier. I could deff use that when I was out to read labels and small stuff.
Using
TAELROM_v4.23569_STANDARD_21MAY10
Cpts one I couldn't get the O2 settings for.
i have found something that might help you http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/WinMobile-Magnifier-27412.shtml
Well I gone and brought an iPhone, please don't shout , Only way I can see if it is suitable for me is hands on.
Probably wrong place to ask but anyone recommend a decent iPhone forum ?
Thanks
Still got the HTC so all is not lost
CHT 1.8.5 was just great, but what are your thoughts and experiences about CHT 2.0?
one word: A-WE-SO-ME!
Haven't really used it much since 1.8.5 does everything I need. I can see it being very useful for most, but I prefer 1.8.5. Now that the final is released I may give it another shot, beta was VERY buggy for me. But I'm not sure I can handle the look of it, either. Not trying to bash it, just saying over all I prefer 1.8.5.
its up there mate. the team should be employed by htc earning big bucks for being able to create this....
Hi all.
For me is just the best and most useful software I have for my HD2.
In fact, since I discovered CHT, CHTE and CHTS I don't use any more Spb Phone Suite, Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Pocket Plus and SBSH Phone Weaver.
Splendid app, well done, robust and free to use, (please, if you use it, pay CHT Team a beer, they deserve)!
I think 2.0 is fantastic, the star of the show though for me is CHTS.
Soooooo much time and hassle saved by being able to restore my sense layouts in a matter of seconds
all CHTs and CHT 2.0 are FABULOUS!!
But I think the phone button in the home screen should be changed into something more usefull like "all people" for instance..?

you can change it via cht editor....
To me it's like a whole new software .
Better than Spb better than Sense itself .
Still trying to work it all out to be honest .
It's keeping the HD2 alive in my humble opinion .
Now if only WP7 looked like this ........
problem
i really like cookie home tabs. i have been watching and installing since the first versions. however one time i discovered that to uninstall cht is impossible. i tried so many versions of cht, but on every single of this vers. i had to hard reset to uninstall cht. And nowadays i had a hope that; with 2.0 this problem had solved, unfortunately i see still i cant uninstall it, please help me about situation without advising to hard reset
continue
i am using 1.48 hspl and dutty v7 com2 rom
CHT is almost Sense how it should have been originally! Its brilliant!
CHT2.0 is the 1st time I've "mod'd" the htc hd2. I am impressed but have some questions which havent been answered by the manual or the cht2.0 thread.
1. The clock only appears on the 2nd page across, making me think on the initial install that there was a problem since it shows the 1st page on initial startup. How can I get the clock to display on all pages.
2. When you scroll down (yes down not up) from the clock you get a mini clock and alot of blank space, can quick links be added to this page, cant see an option to.
3. What other cool things can CHT2.0 do that I havent discovered yet?
Would also be nice if CHT fixed the alarm limitation of wm6.5 but I guess I need to find an app for that.

1. Pin it!
2. Use free links!
3. Dunno what've you discovered
It's the only reason I consider using WM 6.5. I've been trying Android for the last few months and love it, but battery is my issue. Co0kie is the ONLY thing that tempts me back to the Windows fold - it's just amazing.
If Microsoft had pulled their finger out and got the HTC Sense + Co0kies team in five years ago, they could have owned the Smartphone market - along with an app-store, of course.
co0kie, you are THE interface for WM6.5, no doubt. Long may you live, you genius.

i know that CHT 2.0 is awesome and has lots of features added to 1.8.5. But for me, CHT 1.8.5 is just perfect in terms of usage and efficiency. For this reason, I really don't mind sticking to it instead of using 2.0. I' m not really so much for widgets, quicklinks are just fine.
Its the most awesome thing ever happen to HD2. At first I was convinced that HD2 is upgradeable to WP7 but later was screwed over. CHT is the saving grace for HD2. In my opinion, CHT Final Release 2.0.0 still have some bugs here and there but its all good if you know how to work around it. Plus you're not gonna fiddle around it all the time after you've got what you've wanted. On the other hand, CHT 1.8.5 is a very very stable version although it lacks some cool features ie. Free Links, Wobble effect and many more. But still, I think its the most versatile mod out there for HD2 compared to SPB, MaxSense and others. Currently on Dutty's v7 COM2 WWE ROM, CHT 2.0.0, CHTE 2.0.0 and finally worth mentioning MrBEOTP2's v3 mod for CHT and have no complains or what-so-ever.

I have to turn back to CHT 1.8.5 'coz I miss my wallpaper change every 30 min by WAPAC 1.4.CHT 2.0 ,still not there yet.Something still missing..
well, this wasn't love at the first sight.. I didn't like 2.0 after 1.8.5 very much and went back to 1.8.5. later, when I get bored without new impressions, I decided to try 2.0 again... and fell in love and now with CHTS I can't imagine my HD2 without these really cool applications that can do almost everything and more
Hi everibody, so sorry to post a question where it's not allowed but the Q&A section for windows mobile doesn't exist anymore, so I didn't know where to post it.
I am an HD2 owner and for me it's simply perfect with windows mobile, the only thing is that in WM 6.5 and in sense 2.5 there are no smooth and fluid transitions. Don't know if I explained well what I mean. For example in Iphone, android or in any other new OS when I swipe left or right on the screen, the elements move gradually out of the screen and the new one enter gently. In Manila 2.5 no, there is a gap unless you use the manila . Is there a way to make this happen? The same thing when I press the start menu or when I turn the phone in landscape mode, or when I unlock it. I think that the lack of animated transitions make the OS look much older than it is.
Please, I'm asking a last effort to make this system awersome...
as you are using manila 2.5 the nearest to your request is Co0kie Home Tab 2.0. Then you can get in your home tab 7 screens to slide left & right, and 4 levels to slide up & down, and even put some widgets on it.
Other option is MaxSense, but never tried myself. I think you would need to flash a rom with Maxsense as is not provided as .cab
If you wish to try Co0kie 2.0 and need further help post question in the CHT thread.
Thank you for the reply =)
yeah, I'm actually using the HD2O rom with CHT and I noticed that there is the possibility to use widget in the home screen, but I was thinking of something more integrated in the system...for example I found WinStart (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=935808): this is an app that replaces start menu and adds the kind of animations for windows I was looking for. Unfortunately I found this program a little too buggy (some icons disappear and many icon names are changed) and very slow I hope it could be possible to continue in this direction, because I think that the idea is good, but in my opinion it isn't developed properly (those animations could be integrated in a cooked rom probably) and have a similar program for Manila too. It would be simply wonderful.
Of course those are only my suggestions, but I know that nobody would develop any further for windows mobile something like this because this OS is considered dead, but I still love it more than any newer one.
I'm using an energy ROM with CHT & find it very fluid for all functions really & far more flexible than iphone & a lot better looking than Android & many functions less clicks to access.
For the hardware spec of the phone & slow official development WM was & actually still is very very good, if you look at layout of Android & compare it to WM6.5.3 you will see a lot of copying by cheeky Google ...
I need viber software for hd2 plz help me
I need viber software for hd2 plz
Windows Mobile does have animated transitions, but they're generally disabled, as they're slow and ugly.
You can still get them back using the registry (I can find that for you), but you'll probably regret it.
BTW, as my much esteemed colleagues said already, HTC Sense and Co0kie's Home tabs extension prvide pretty nice animations and sliding screens already.
