Omnia 2 has some great apps. I'd like to run some of them on my XPERIA on WinMo 6.5, but of course they only work on WinMo 6.1. Does anyone know how to get them to work on 6.5 (is it a hex edit?), or better yet does anyone have pre-modded CABs?
I'm especially interested in the icon bar (for the top of the screen, like is standard in 6.5.3), and Touch Player, and maybe the Home screen.
Thanks

Does anybody know how to change the default keyboard skin into a colored one. I found an example (and way how to do it) but that's for the WM2003 environment.
The solution I'm looking for is for Windows Mobile 6.
Who can help me (and maybe more people who are reading this) ?
The url of the example: http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5519
what makes you think it's different from 2003?
here are some that works just fine for wm5

It's not what I think, it's what I notice
It doesn't work on my HTC Touch with WM6
Wow, thanks really nice looking hacked-default keyboard. Anyone can get it to work in HTC Touch or WM6 yet?
For the last few years I was running winmo5 with SPB Mobile Shell and Pocket Plus running. Now with my new phone I have winmo6.1 and Touchflo3d.
Touchflo is very nice but some of the features of SPB I miss.
I see people using WkTask to replace some of the features missing out of touchflo that SPB had but WkTask seems to mess up my title bar and make navigating harder.
I also see people running wisbar, what would that replace from the above mentioned software?
Do any of you out there have experience with all three and perhaps some enlightenment for this not so newb to winmo but winmo6.1 fuze newb?
Does anyone know, or think they know what will be the differences in these two operating systems installed on a HTC device. We see from pictures that the UI in 6.5 has something like a zune type thing, then that hexagon pattern. But for most 6.1 users they don't really have to leave Touch Flo. In fact, HTC even redesigned the calendar on the TP2. So what does everyone think?
If you're using manila, the most obvious difference will be the start menu. Also, 6.5 has a native finger scrolling which is better than the htc scrolling in 6.1. Newer builds have improved task and soft key bars and some different menu enhancements. Also, 6.5 has a more advanced virtual memory model than 6.1; this may well be the biggest advancement, although it's very much 'under the hood'. You only get it on the newer devices that have native 6.5 kernels available.

Well if it has enhanced virtual memory It should run faster, no? When I played with the 6.1 in the tmobile store, it was fast. My touch diamond is pretty slow. I wonder what HTC is going to do for 6.5. I heard they sent out test roms to sprint. for the tp2 udpate has anyone tried it?
i cant see no difference in start menu... my touch pro2 uses manila start menu.. not WM's...
this is a good thread to discuss.. i dont have any strong reason for me to change to wm6.5 ... the future manila will use fully manila skinned even in 'All Settings' menu.. i just hope wm6.5 can improve the background graphic on PPC with integrated supported drivers.. it just my imagination
Hello,
I was wondering whether someone has managed to port the windows mobile 6.5 lockscreen to windows mobile 6.1? Some skin for s2u2 would be fine too, Don't want my phone to look like an iphone :s Have tried many other lock applications. Like Pocketshield and Throttlelock but no succes.
I have an Omnia i900 XKHJ3
Thanks in advance!

WM6.5 lock
The beta 3 version of PocketShield works in a very similar way to WM6.5 lock screen, as you can tap a notification and then unlock to go straight to the associated application. Even better you can get preview detail info of the notification by just tapping over it, without having to unlock.
Hope helps
Hey thanks,
going to try it now!
The only thing I hate about my new Tilt 2 is that horrible black WM taskbar. I want some type of more colorful, 3d task bar as well as come better icons. I've researched for the past 3 nights and all i've gotten is a headache. The tsowens taskbars and stuff only change icons. That's my secondary priority...Plus, i want to change some of his icons to a few of the extras he provided. He mentions that there are instructions to do so in another post but i could never find them. Could someone please guide me or show me a better solution? I really don't want to mess up my new Tilt 2...
The icons are all usauly in the windows folder. So get new icons, get the correct file names, download total commander and replace them with that.
About the colour change try UITweaker there is loads of settings for changing colours in there.
Win Mob 6.5
Yes you are right on the part of Windows Mobile 7. It would surely be "game changing". The new WM 7 is designed to be used on devices with touchscreen only with QWERTY keyboards.Even surfing is made easier with "tabbed" browsing, except you can switch tabs by shaking the phone.
Win Mob 6.5
Well, the start menu cannot be customized from the Honeycomb Menu. But let me add a point here, the honeycomb menu of winmo 6.5 is globally recognized as user-friendly menu because it makes the icons more distinguishable.
It would be handy to be able to change the icon location and look, without hacking into the registry.
