Best WM5/Magneto Theme???

Has anyone released a really concise and well done WM5/Magneto theme for user of PPC 2003 to run?
Thanks!

I'd love to see one as well.
however, for now - you can use the attached files. 1 is the phone skin (dialpad) of wm5 and 2 are the sounds
apart from that, there's also the boot screen which is the one the emulator uses.
the sounds and emu thing are from xda dev and the wm5 thing, I found on howard forums I believe - just to give some credit

Thank you for posting those!

my pleasure. they are not my work, but I'm always glad if I can make someone happy, after all - this board gave me so much - I feel I should give something back
[EDIT]
by the way, if you look around here you will be able to find a WM5 theme that was built for WM5, now - if you are a graphics person, you might just be able to modify it so that we can use it on our devices

I just wanted to post back and say both the audio files and the dialerskin files plus the registry mod work great!
I'm totally lost on the splash images files you loaded though. I'm guessing I have to cook those into my ext-rom right?
Does anyone else have maybe a more complete WM5 image collection?

This is off topic, but on a real magento device, how do you "press" the soft menu buttons - which hardware keys do you use?
And if you're running any non Magento software, what happens to the soft menu? Does it disappear? eg gsfinder etc.
V

im guessing 2 of the lower 4 that are common on the device.
I'm guessing the new devices will come with 2 buttons for the softkeys and 2 buttons for other functions so design will stay the same, just the icon will be changed

WM5 theme here - enjoy!

One small problem, When i'm in the picture viewer (The manilla 2d one) all my pictures are
stretched

Nice rom. The htc album needs to be updated. The black corners of the pic's will be fixed with new ver. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421304&page=30 Look at post 173. It has pic's of before and after htc album update. I would change comm manger to update 13's new comm manager but user can do that if they want.

Hi guys,
I appreciate the work you are doing for the Herald ROM Development community.
Especially regarding to the TouchFlo2D.
Can somebody please post a screen shot of the free memory after installing this rom.
Thanks in advance.

Nice ROM
Tks Guy, it´s a very nice rom.
The touch move easyly, the clock is beautiful, the googlemas , it´s rock!

The Rom is gorgeous. my biggest gripe is the lack of memory.. its tiny. however given what the rom is doing.. ill deal. still messing with it. havent found anything it didnt do for me yet.. minus softkey.. it does NOT like softkey modification.. or clearing your bottom bar.. dont like that either.

I have discovered another problem, I cant send any sms. I only can send e-mail no mather if i select Mail or Messages.

Hi.
The ROM looks great.
I have countered the following:
- the option: Keyboard Sliding Sound gives a white screen.
- TouchFlo2d in landscape mode is not rendered oke.
- missing the option to change the analogue clock to a digital one.
- Opening a received tex message directly from the home screen results in a white screen and the message "loading Message" while nothing happens.
- Te pre-installed file explorer temp. freezes the phone..
In response to Hallo409: I can send and receive SMS with no problem.
Otherwise it looks great.
Thanks a million

That's strange because when i select the Messages tab and push new sms (litte icon at the right side of the screen) that will bring me to the messaging page. Thisone contains only setup E-mail. and no link for writing a text message (sms).

Gullum:
This is an excellent ROM. Thanks for the good work. The best dialer I ever seen. The only problem I have is that when I tap on the Message Icon, the phone keep displaying "Loading message .....". I don't use Microsoft Office and Adobe. Therefore, would love to have a strip down version. Is there a cab for your new dialer?
Thanks

FANTASTIC
its very very very .........
thanks for the rom
please a little question
a simply program for owerlock processor
ok

Another little bug.
I have to switch on my Wi-Fi through settings.
Doing this via COmm Manager does not work.

hey gullum great rom ...but touchflo2D killing the little T-Mo wing are gonna do one with just your rom like a lite version seems like your rom very stable and i would like to try it without TF2D if u cam pm me
THANKS .... for a great rom

i also noticed a few more bugs.
Text messaging - Cant do it from the TF2d
Slidng Sounds - White screen
Landscape mode - Ive 3x had the landscape mode randomly revert back to portrait, AND close programs
Bottom Bar - Cant hide it
Soft Keys - Cant change them
Beautiful rom, some minor flaws and huge lack of memory. Eagerly anticipating a V2?

the rom is great but the MMS doesn't work i try mms v5 romeos fix and still don't work.

TouchFlo2D is not compatible with landscape mode. Gullum so far has been working on making it compatible from what I've seen in some developer threads.
There isn't a missing option because, again, that's not part of TouchFlo2d. He'd have to program a program to do this for him (unless the TouchFlo2d customizer gets to a point that it can do this.)

man i was like this rom is great besides the 5mb left.
then i get a text and now i have to flash back to otp

can someone please post some screenshots?

This ROM very pleased me! It is very stable! Very much..Very pleased! Thank you!

What's your favourite cooked ROM?

In about a month or two I will be putting aside my Kaiser and make way fo the Touch HD so what better way to spend the remainder of time with my Kaiser then to flash cooked ROM's!
So for the past few weeks I have been testing several cooked ROM's and here's my current favourite ROM's in no particular order based on speed,stabilty and appearance:
- SJ' HD ROM's III (shortly will be testing IV)
- PDACornerUltimate.V4
- Garmin.DK.4.Manila [OS 19971.1.4.0] - v4.4a/b/c
- MBarvian's Solace v1.5 BETA
- L26_KaiserTouch_V1_M2D
I think in there own way they are all great ROM's cooked by the finest Chefs!
If I had to choose one for my own personal permanant use it would be between SJ' HD ROM's and PDACornerUltimate.V4 I think they are both on par in terms of speed and stabilty but I think the coloured icons of PDACornerUltimate.V4 do it for me
To all the cooks well done guys and thank you!!!!
more flashing and more testing to be done........

I'm using mbarvian's Solace V1.5 beta at the moment and i'm very pleased with it. I've used the Hyperdragon III rom's and they are great too. I don't have a favorite. I'm trying new rom's when i feel like it.

PDACornerUltimate is my favourite rom since the coloured status icon. LOL
And also it is very convenient because it has all of my need.

sorry for my question ... which ROM is "SJ' HD ROM's III" ?

i just got a kaiser and im gonna flash my first rom, hyperdragon is getting a lot of attention and looking good for me. i have unlocked it just fine and was waiting for a thread like this to confirm that that rom is one of the best
any other recommendations??

For me it's NATFs ROMs (AT&T, not Manila).
This Manila stuff is way too inflexible. I spent hours and hours testing Manila ROMs (two by NATF and Hyperdragon III) and trying to configure them to my liking. But Manila is inflexible to changes/customization, and even the fledging utility found in the forum - is not enough.
Next week I'll test another "regular" ROM.

NATF ROMs here too.
I'm running V4 Manilla Laoded right now on my mian phone and ATT Loaded on my older "back-up" phone. The each have their positives and negatives.
- Can't change the fost key in Minilla.
- Can't run anyother other home screen plug-ins with Manilla running.
-Manilla allowes you to have multipal cities in it's weather vs. just one in HTC home weather.
- Manilla allowes you to have more contacts in it contact launcher and many more apps in it app launcher then HTC Home.
But I hae found them both to be excellent ROMs.

Use SecondToday cab (look it up in the forum).
It allows you to create a duplicate Today screen, where you can place all your Today plugins (either WM standard or s/w that you installed).
Then you assign it to any h/w key (I used the PTT button in my Tilt) - and voila! you're (almost) back in business regarding Today screen versatility.
But I didn't like the lags and REALLY didn't like the lack of customization abilities in Manila

its all about the simplicity of "today plugins" and the easy customization and manipulation of the today screen...
once "manilla" came in....THAT went out the window...and like u said the whole 2nd today screen was supposed to solve that but still....it isnt the same...
im glad i found a couple of ppl like me...who arent big fans of the manilla revolution lol...but as you can see in the listed roms in the 1st post...they all are manilla based...and in the last month or so...there hasn't been any regular cooked roms excluding 888's roms...
i haven't flashed in a long time and the reason is the lack of these non-manilla based roms...hoping any chef out there will cater to the needs of myself and the others in this minority

Well, there's the NATF v4 ATT ROM, and soon I expect there'll be a 3G version of aruppenthal's 3.57_19214 RR Edition V3.7 (he's already published the 2G versions).
I really don't understand how people are willing to sacrifice easy of use for a facade...
(and I really put a lot of effort to try and adapt to the 2 Manila ROMs I tested).

Currently using MBarvian's Solace v1.5, I find it fast, stable, and has landscape! I love the manilla 2d. Not much of a fan of the regular Home screen. I have only had my tilt about a month and I don't use it for the PDA functions. A little email, a bit of text'n, mostly I wanted to stream Sirius Radio at work as they shut down internet. I love the Theme customization available for M2d. Its awesome.

I take your point on board, with manila 2d it's a case of either you love it or hate it! however in my case I do not have any lag issues when using SecondToday combined with manila 2d it fits my purpose, of course this all depends on what ROM and tweak you use, as I have noticed with certain ROM's the SecondToday doesn't run smoothly!!

My absolute favourite is HyperDragon. No other ROM (and I've flashed 'em all!) comes close to the responsiveness and stability (sorry Leo )
Besides, I do not think that the Kaiser is really compatible with the Manila kind of touch interface by design (ever tried to scroll thru the index bar of Random Access with your finger? ). That's why I still stick to good old HTC Home.

Sleuth 3.0 - fast? I dont really know cause never tried other cooked ROM, but I know it is reliable and stable ...

AthineOS for me. The home V2.2 version. Stable, fast and ALOT of free ram.
Tony

AT&T in SE USA
I f you are in Southeast USA, then without a question, the best Rom is PDACornerUltimate.V4 with Radio 1.65.24.36
I should know, I have tried every new Rom since I got my Tilt (Year ago).
PDACornerUltimate.V4 got my vote.

hyperdragonIII (11-10-08)

I flashed hyperdragon yesterday. I liked it but there were too many bugs and no landscape just completely killed it for me.
Today i tried solace but ended up not liking it. The landscape wasn't really how I was excpecting it to be but still at least it had landscape even though i didn't really like it. there weren't as many programs as other roms give you on it. Also manillas are too hard to customize for my linking at this point. When they are further developed then they will probably become the only kind of roms I use.
Right now I'm using duttys diamond v1 and i seem to like it. I liked the looks and stuff of the manilla better but I like duttys rom performance better.
I'm going to check out a few of those NATF roms because I've heard they're really good.

It doesn't matter where you are in the country or the world...The ROM has nothing to do with it...its the RADIO!!!
And being a former Chef on here, I have to say HyperdragonIII is by far the most stable,responsive ROM out right now.
Simple things like...
On M2D if you go to another widget you can press the END key and get back to home!
The dialer is perfect and easily changable by skins. WIth a few minor AdvanceConfig changes by battery lasts easily 2 days with moderate use.
Just my info, but HyperDragonIII is the way to go right now. I have tried to build my own ROM lately, but keep going back to his!!!

Need a 'touchscreen only rom' - is there one?

Is there a rom (or mabey it's just a phone skin or theme) that is just 100% touchscreen - so I will not miss my buttons?
Here's why...
This last weekend all the buttons on my 8925 stopped working - just the power and camera buttons work (no keyboard either)
Everything else on the phone fuctions, phone, gps, internet, just the darn buttons.
Since I couldn't answer the phone without pressing the green button, I had to find something fast - I flashed Josh's 6.5 21222(?) - works good, but it's a little bleeding edge for me.
So I don't have to spend 3 days flashing 20 roms - please let me know if you've come across any that would help.
Thanksk a million!
Will

Try garmins rom ("-g-") + SPB mobile shell + spb pocket plus

Try
a wm 6,5 rom that one from pdaviet

As usual, keep flashing until you find the right one!

Opal Dialer
With the opal dialer, you can have a slider to answer or reject calls. I've had a lot of luck with all of the 6.5's so far, and it's very finger friendly as well as finger functional. But you should be able to install the opal dialer to any rom.
Sorry about your buttons and keyboard though, the keyboard is my favorite part, I hate typing with an onscreen. If, by the way, you find a keyboard that works really well with fingers, please please let me know. Transcriber works, but it's not a keyboard.
At any rate, good luck!

Thanks!
drumboy03 -
As to onscreen keyboards. I use - and really like Resco Keyboard. It is THUMB Friendly and easy to use ( I think it is like an iphones keyboard - but who says they can't have a good idea once in a while).​
I think WM 6.5 seems to be the most finger friendly so far. I tried one of the HyperDragon III roms (12/25/08) and it works ok because it has...
Big start menu & Touchflo for easy navigation
I installed an iphone dialpad
I installed slide to unlock, slide to play, slide to view Dang - does it sound like I went for an iphone? - not intentional, but they do seen to have the better fingerfriedly interface.
I use Kinoma player - very finger friendly - for most media and core player (with diamond theme - big buttons) for the orb and news streams (it plays better than WM for me)
On a side note, I was getting 5-8 second gps locks from cold start with that setup! Better than my official GPS's.
Tonight or tomorrow I'll will try the opal dialer on a 6.5 rom - especially with the new internet exporer.

I do second this notion, a touch screen only rom would be nice.
I have seen many roms integrate touchFlo/Manilla, but I havent seen many integrate Winterface (iphone like interface), Point UI, or others.
I very much like TouchFlo, but variety would be good too.

Update - solace rom works!
Two days ago I loaded the Solace v. 3.x rom. It is set up for primarily touch screen use - big icons, big notificiations etc. Works great. Only issue is with the default phone skin - if I have to dial a new number I have to save it to contacts first. But I like other features of the skin so I'll live with that. I rarely call anyone new anyway so it really isn't an issue.
Thanks for your help!

One more update...
Turns out my buttons were not really broken- ae button plus allowed me to remap the buttons - right back to their old state - funny but it worked! Now I can run 'regular roms' again! Something must really be wrong with my tilt to have that problem!
And now that my outside buttons are mapped right, the keyboard works too! WOW - I was looking at replacing the tilt, instead it's only a $7 fix!

[Q] moving items in WM6.5 start menu ?

Hi, on Wm6.5 roms for the touch HD you can press and hold on the start menu items an move them arround but in the HD2 you can only send them to top. Thats is a really ugly to reorder lots of icons.
I think there must be a key in the registry to set this behaviour but cant find it.
Someone knows it?
PD: Someone sugested a program called "JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta" to change the order of the start menu items, but i want the easy press and hold way
I will have both HD and HD2 for a few days only so I can compare registry values on both but dont know where exactly to look at.

It's not quite as simple as a single registry key. Whatever build you were running was either a 6.5.x build (start button on the bottom bar) or had some 6.5.x portions built in. That feature only started appearing in the 2303x builds, and is probably a pretty low level change. Meanwhile, the HD2 does not run one of those special builds of 6.5, so I'd say that until cooked ROMs come to the HD2, there's not much you can do besides use that program.

Damn! you're right. my HD got a 23xxx build from Dutty and the HD2 got an extremely old build
Well let's wait for cooked rom then
Thanks
