I have tried Cookies Home Tab, so far I like it...but I have not gotten a chance to try 'maxManila' and I was wondering if you all could provide some pros vs cons, or at least tell me which you personally would prefer and why (if possible)? Or even just tell me what are the differences, or just main differences ?
This would be very helpful... thank you very much in advance and I hope to hear from you all soon! ...
+1. I'd like to know too.
I personally prefer MaxManila. It's very easy to customize, allows you to (re)arrange your homescreen to your own needs (mine is almost empty, besides clock-weather-date and notification icons - no slider). It's compatible with a lot of other cabs/tweaks/progs. It's stable as a rock. I also used Cookie's Home tab for a short while but, at least on my HD2, it is not as stable as MaxManila and it's relatively power hungry (who needs 48 shortcuts anyway?).
Of course this is my personal opinion. Both mods are absolutely great but, alas, they can't function together, thus choices have to be made: MaxManila
There's a release of Co0kie's Home Tab coming soon that should shake things up a little
in cookies you have a nice function to slide your icons from page 1,2 and 3
but in max you have the nice clock functions like the analog clock,and pic your own wallpaper for the animations(animated wallpaper).
i think maxmanila is more fun and cookies more for business
Mostly a question of preference, you should try both and see what you prefer. Maxmanila is not for me, I don't care the slightest about being able to move stuff around, change clock, change borders, sliders,... the stock Sense look is excellent. But I really like having my 3 pages of 5x4 shortcuts, appointments, or empty home screen CHT allows for...

Not for me either, but coockie has announced earlier that adjustable clocks are on his to do list (for the upcoming version). I prefered Max but when coockie introduced his 1.6.1 version (7th of March) I caved...as said above...more for business, but I do miss Max's adjustable clocks.
Coockie's new version should close that gap I sure hope so
I miss the slide function from page to page from my long gone HTC Hero, so I prefer cookie's mod. Maxmanila is good if u like to change the clock and wallpaper often with just some simple and quick click. U should give maxmanila a try to see what u prefer more

so far so good, does anyone know how to hide the city name text London
Wow you sure dont like sense.....
Might as well just do this:
On the HTC Sense UI, you go to Settings, go to all settings from the menu tab on the bottom right. From there choose Today, then flick left to the Items tab, and change the selection to Windows Default and ensure that Sense is unchecked.

It's not more intuitive at all - you just want it.
I can't see that ever happening with the Sense UI as it would be a major rework of the application. The best you can hope for is a replacement UI that does it, but then you'd have all the inherant problems of that UI, rather than having Sense and the support of these forums.
i would also like it like that=) but.. nv mnd =)

you have to install a UI like Mobile Shell from SPG, http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Unfortunalty you will then miss out some of the nice features in HTC Sense.
I have found a weather application for the HD2 that far exceeds the Sense UI weather tab and/or Ageye G-Weather. It's called Touch Weather from MobilityFlow (http://www.touch-weather.com/download-cab/).
It gives you a seven days weather forecast with weather screens of morning/noon/evening and night. Swiping up or down changes the time of day. Swiping from right to left changes the day. It has lots of applicable settings and also shows you the humidity factor, the amount of rain/snow, the temperature of the rain, etc , etc, etc. All in all a beautiful weather app that has a trial version for 15 days of the Pro version. The costs aftere that time is ONLY $5!!
regards, Kuzibri
383 views and no reactions yet? This program is realy awesome.
This app is already known and I think it's primarily aimed at people who don't have Sense UI on their phone. No need for an app when you already have all the info on your homescreen.
Still nice though.

I do not entirely agree with you on that. Touch Weather gives you far more information then Sense UI weather. You can swipe the screen up and down to see the forecasts from noon until night and from right to left to see an entire week. It als gives you the amount of rain that is to be exprected and the humidity facto and so on.
True, $5 is a bargain I have to say.

Second that, certainly compared to G-Weather which costs 9.99 Euro. And there is also a possibility to get Touch Weather for free by posting to them suggestions for optimization of the program, etc.
o man i love this program
when i last hard rest my HD2 i did not accept the weather settings so now i have a nice clean home tab, nice transparent taskbars etc etc and no weather
with this app i got an even better weather app in return without the homescreen polution
THANNNNKS for the tip
My main concern with this would be that two different weather services will often supply different weather forecasts. Dumb, I know, but it's true. So I'd have one set of weather conditions on my home page, on the clock, and a different one when I run that app.
It makes a lot more sense to only have 1 application, and unless you can tie this app into the home page then I won't be even vaguely interested.
For ppl in sweden and norway, the weatherforecasts by accuweather are pointless, they are incorrect - plain and simple. Accuweather also serves incorrect time-info so that I can see a moon at like 10am
So: Accuweather sucks.
I agree with johncmolyneux, I'm not really interested in any weatherapp as long as i cant pin it to the weatherservice in Sense. I did buy G-Weather though, for my other device (TD2) where I disabled Sense...
AFAIN, Sense UI weather uses AccuWeather. With Touch weather you can choose between AccuWeather, GisMeteo and Intellicast, so you will be able to make the settings of Touch Weather compatible with the Sense UI, though with a lot more options and information than SenseUI weather.

In that case, I'll give it a go then. Thanks
And with Co0kie's home tab, I can link the weather icon on the clock into this application and just get rid of the weather tab.
its nice
but users who have sense ui dont need that

the accuweather setting is only for the US because that's the popular database used there... and i must say, that's what works. Other servers i've seen in weather apps work terribly for the US. So what sucks for you doesn't suck for others
Besides, there are two other servers to choose from in touch weather settings. Have you tried those for Norway and Sweden?

Works fine for me when in Sweden...
It's nice but does anyone else thinks their sun looks weird or is it just me?
Hello, I use this program since its release and helped in the translation into Spanish, the truth is in continuous development and extension, it is true that the time varies greatly depending on the server, but this provided more servers and its optimization.
My personal opinon is that it is a great program.
Sorry for my bad English writing
the best weather for windows is this, it has everything, it use weather.com , huminty, hour by hour, what you need, and you have two sources to compare, pocket whether.... enjoy, is not free, but good things you have to pay for......

Does anyone know if this is possible or available. Would be so nice.
To have a carousel function (similar to the SBP Shell panels carousel) that can either replace the sense slider or work as a stand alone app.
That would definitely be cool, but I am pretty sure there is nothing like that at the moment.
I agree, would be nice!
But not going to happen...

it would be better if you can Flick the home screen up and down endlessly like a kinda cirkel,
don't know if you'll understand my idea but like this,
if you Flick up you can get to the manila player, further up you'll get to albums further up you get a blank page it would be cool of you can put widgets over there and you flick again you get cookies home tab and another flick to get back at manila home screen.
hope ya'll understand my idea
sorry for my english

I sort of get what u mean. That would be sort of similar to the current sense slider but with 2 differences; Upwards/downwards scrolling instead of side to side. And different animation style for the transition of each page (flip, fold, flick etc). Nice idea...bu I would prefer the carousel better.
Had a look around the SPB shell threads and got the impression that there may be legal / patent related stuff that means the "carousel" is only for "spb mobile shell". So currently using both on my HD2 and a neat toggle switch app to change between Sense & SPB. ALthough SPB is nice (lots of eye candy) I prefer Sense (smoothness & speed) but would love that carousel or something similar.
I know nothing about apps & programming (should have paid more attention in IT classes) so just hoping someone here latches onto the idea.

Really hope so but from what i've seen and read I don't think its possible..
I've noticed this for a while now..
Not sure if its something I've missed some where along the line..
When browsing the threads I've noticed loads of people who have posted home screens with CHT and the quick link tab indicator at the top right of the screen..
Well, I thought you could only have 3 pages of quicklinks..
Some people seem to have up to 9??!!?!?!!?
Is it a CHT mod?
Example here
I know there will be a really simple answer as I've seen loads now..
Thought it might of been some CHT Beta testers with the next version of CHT..
Please dont let me go stir crazy!!! Thanks...

Yes it is CHT; If my memory is good from version 1.7 it's possible to have more than 3 tabs.
When you open CHTEditor, and go on settings you will see the parameters fore how much page you will created.
when you have 3X3 shortcuts you can created max 6 pages
when you have 4X4 shortcuts you can created max 5 pages
when you have 5X4 shortcuts you can created max 4 pages
when you have 5X5 shortcuts you can created max 3 pages
OMG thank you!
