Hey everyone
How do I customize HTC Sense in Windows 6.5 Phoenix 2 ROM?
This may be a simple question, but whenever I check off things other than HTC Sense when customizing the home screen, nothing shows up.
More specifically I want messaging and info on the today screen too, but the only thing that is there is HTC Sense Clock/weather. It is very stubborn, in which it disables anything other than itself to be shown in the today screen.
How do I fix this (Look at pictures for more info)
Pictures are in the order I took them, and not by the name/number of them.
Thanks
If you choose Sense then that's all you get. If you want other options on your today screen you have to turn off Sense.
Thanks for the reply. So how can I customize sense then? I'll look in the forums, but if you have a link or info that would be great too.

He is my latest manila 2.5 theme. Hope you guys enjoy! Just install the theme cab file and then the clock cab file. Hope you enjoy.
P.S i didnt create a stocks or footprint icon because I dont use those tabs.
Having trouble attaching theme file so i made a rapidshare link for the file. Only 10 downloads allowed so if anyone can attach it here it would great.
Update: Removed rapidshare link it was used up. Added a mediafire link.

Nice work dude.
Thanks alot for those that use max manila I also attached a cab file for matching notification icons.
Sorry to be a dunce, but I can't get this working on my Topaz. I installed the cabs, but nothing. It's not showing up on the settings screen as a theme, so I'm stumped. I'm running the official HTC 6.5 ROM at the moment.

Its for Manila 2.5, I'm pretty sure the official 6.5 only has 6.1, so it will not work.
@bcruz410
On another note: What build of manila are you using? Not the version, but the build
iam using the 2.5.1921 version but ive also tested it on the latest energy roms with the latest manila.

Thanks for your quick and helpful reply. Now all I need to do is to work out how to upgrade to 2.5, can I do this without flashing a completely new ROM?
I'll have a little search to see if I can find the solution.
Cheers
EDIT: I can see now that I need to flash a ROM that already has 2.5 in it. Any suggestions? The last time I flashed a new ROM, I had to go back to the official 6.5 because my GPS went mad. It was showing that I was about 400km away from where I actually was, at 15,000m altitude, travelling at around 400km/h.

If you want to change from Manila 2.1 to 2.5 you have to flash another rom...
You can start reading the stickys in the Rom Development section.
Thank you! Any slider is better than the awful (IMHO) original sense 2.5, but this one is really cool and finally woking in my ROM! (with sense 2.5.19211619.0). Is there a way to get the original black-on-white clock?
EDIT: I just noticed that my bottom bar is not like the one in the screenshot, no big deal, since the slider was my main concern.Anyway I'd like to have it aswell, so any help is welcome.
Works great, thanks for this. Much better than the awful theme in the new energy Roms
iam working on some new slider designs because i definitely agree, they are a bit bland. as to the theme that i have in that pic iam using ahens black theme. you can find in the windows theme sections.
nice theme, more relaxing for my eyes than the default one. thanks
EDIT: @bcruz410 .. Thanks !!
Thanks - these look much better than the defaults! Any chance you can do the 'stocks' icon as well - it looks a little out of place among your new versions. Thx
I like it very much, but the sense in my phone is still 2.1.......
@bcruz410
Wonderful theme... Can you please add those two missing icons (Stocks and Footprints) as well, as that would make the slider tabs completely skinned
Thank you very much for your efforts...
i've downloaded and installed the theme but nothing has changed..how do I have to do? I've manila 2.5.. txs
I absolutely love the clock here, but lately it's gotten thrown out of alignment. I'm not sure exactly what's doing it, but I suspect that it's Max Manila. I'm using the latest Energy ROM.
It seems that the clock background gets elongated, which throws everything below it out of alignment; the weather text appears in between the clock background and the split backgrounds for the weather stuff, and then the split backgrounds end up being behind the Calendar header (date and alarm status).
Any chance you might revisit the clock? I really haven't found any other clock that I like as much as this one, and I've tried I should also note that I haven't had any alignment issues with any other clock that I've tried, although most of them have just been solid (no transparent gaps).
nicely done!
Hey Guys - I've poured over these threads and am a bit confused about the versions of HTC touchflo. What are my options, if any, that allow running WM6.5 and getting the flip-clock with weather beneath it? Is this possible? Or is this only touchflo 3d, which hasn't been cooked into a wizard rom?
Or maybe I should be able to change the look of the clock for this touchflo but I haven't been able to find it?
Thanks for any info.

I think what you mean is the HTC home plugin, right? I would say that you could use any 6.5 ROM and install the HTC home plugin to get the features you want (by the way, I just found this in a German ROM somewhere here, check out the "SKYNET ROM v6", post #7- Seems it's working there and should of course work for any English version, too). Good luck

I think it's called "HTC Sense" ?
Thanks for replying Andreas. I did some more searching and I think the name associated with the look I want is "sense" ... i don't see a wizard ROM for that yet. But maybe i'm missing something? I've attached a pic.

hm... well, I don't know this one. But guess what- I'd be interested in this too Sorry I couldn't help. Personally, I don't like the 6.5 default look either and I keep always changing to even the 'old' 6.1 home screen, simply because I have all the information I need on one screen. I prefer this over a fancy look. But the thing you are looking for seems to do the job, too. Let's hope someone can jump in and solve the issue
Good luck,
Andreas
Once i ask cracing why dont use this on a rom.
1- this new touchflo is to big
2- our processor is to slow to process the flip clock, you can imagine...there is a lot of deferents images all the time change.
3- there is still bugs on ported version (maybe now this is not more valid)
Just one more thing, the picture is the 3d version, this one is IMPOSSIBLE to get in a non 3d acceleration device, but there something like that in 2d.
I've run this (the 2D version anyway) on a Wizard, by installing cabs onto a fairly naked 6.5 rom. It's slow, and takes too much memory and storage. It sure is pretty, though.
I think I used an "MSD-Series" rom as the base. I can't remember for sure.
I often try 6.5 but my favorite roms are 6.1. Even there, Manila2D is a hog.
RoryB's latest ExtROM-based Angel rom and TechTeamup's NSN rom are pretty evenly matched as my favorites right now. Both come with M2D. NSN loses points for using an older version, but Angel loses points for requiring tweaks to get the album view and music tabs to work properly.

I also need the same. Anybody there can suggest something
Its New HTC Manila from HTC Mega having Flip-Clock and Weather on home screen. It can be found here.
As it has many images ( for making animation like flip clock ), it makes the device slower. So its only good for newer qvga devices having 400+ mhz CPU speed and 128+ MB RAM or users how use there device rearly.
Best Regards
You can see pictures of a Wizard running Manila2D v2 here:

It realy looks great but as Cracing and n2rjt and boto said: It needs to much RAM and CPU power! And is has no real landscape mode wich is a problem if you use it on a phone with a slide-out-keyboard like the Wizard. I did not only installed the CABs but cooked it into my ROM. I flashed it, tested it and 2 days later I already flashed an other ROM again because it is not usefull at all.
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.
See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580293

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
does any 1 know how to get big start menu icons in wm6.5 like on the hd2? i have seen this on one of the miroms but the ram was too low to use so i want to use a clean rom with plenty of free ram with the big start hd2 start menu icons. i have searched round apparently i need to edit the start menu grid scene cpr file or something

yeh i noticed this too! those HTC fonts look nicer. there is a reg tweak to enable this is the ROM but it has to be cooked in. it is called HTC Fonts. If you want these but have no RAM, try a sense ROM with it, then deactivate sense in the today settings
p.s - i have sent the PM to NRG!

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.
