Please consider a donation and/or contribute to the forum to show your support! If you have done one or both of these then PM me with your UIC code and E-Mail address and ill generate an AuthKey for you to remove the Nag Screens!
If you have already donated then PM me with your PayPal Transaction Number, UIC code and E-Mail address and ill send you the AuthKey.
If you have less then 100 posts then you really havent contributed much in which case you will have to put up with the Nag Screens until you contribute to the forum.
If you already have an AuthKey, copy the file into the Touch Tools installation folder, usually located in Program Files. The AuthKey will automatically be installed next time you launch Touch Tools.
Hopefully this new system means that everyone will be able to fully use Touch Tools 2.0 Suite with the only difference being non-contributors and leeches will get the Nag Screens! Good Day!

Okay, after working really hard to add HD2 compatibility to Touch Tools, you may be asking yourself, "Why do we need another tweaking app?"
Well thats a good question, This app offers more or less everything that the other tweaking apps do, but in addition, you can do the following:
- HARD reset capability
- Enable / Disable Manila Clock flips at the click of a button
- Easy to use White List manager for rotating apps with import and export functions.
- Easy to use volume control utility to decide which apps you want to use the slim volume control while using the volume buttons.
- GPS management so you can tweak your settings.
- Phone related settings
- AUTO DATA DISCONNECTION that works
- DATA CONNECTION manager, allows you to turn on/off connections and enable/disable 'Always On' status.
- Show or hide the default games: 'Bubble Breaker' and 'Solitare' from the click of a menu option.
Plus there will be lots more coming! Alot of this development is already complete and working however, there are still some HD2 specific features to implement.
Please post your views and ideas of what you would like me to include.
Remember, its YOUR device, so why not make it YOURS?!
Waiting for it, thanks

Hi I have considered using the SDK already and decided to make my own controls in the end to get the functionality exactly how I want them.
I also wanted to steer away slightly from the official HTC look and make something with a clear, concise and easy to use GUI.
I stuck with .NET CF 2.0 due to past issues with custom ROMS on the TD2.
Touch Tools for HTC has now been released!
Please leave your comments and feedback!
Amazing!!!Many thanks!!!
You, my friend are a genius.
Donation coming your way when I get home.
Thank you.
Looking good, however the max Icon per row for Start Menu is 4?

hi, what is the issue you are having with this setting? It will only work correctly if there are no 3rd party cabs installed that modify the start menu layout.

I just installed Touch Tools on my HD2. I like the user interface settings options, and a face down mute ring??!! Genius! A lot of the phone settings should have come with the phone, so you are right in the fact that we should take advantage of this tool set. So far hasn't affected any of my third party aps, just an LED one which I just had to turn back on after. Great work.

Thanks, the LED app you mentioned, you should be able to remove that now as Touch Tools has an option for enabling/disabling the LED notifications in settings which is probably why it interfered with your LED app.

What a great app. I have two questions:
1)I installed on an TMous HD2, but the HD2 options is deactivated. Just "greyed out" on the menu. How can I get to these settings?
2)how embarrassing to ask this but...How the dickens do you save the settings? I don't see a save button, and when I exit the settings are not saved.
Tanks for your help

Hi, thanks for letting me know, I need you to go into Device Information in Touch Tools, click on the 'Hardware' tab and tell me the EXACT Device Model ID. I based the activation of the HD2 Options menu on the device model ID. So for example here, the device model is: 'HTC HD2 T8585'. If yours is different to this then please let me know because I will then have to patch Touch Tools and release an update.
Secondly, to apply the settings, you need to go to the Options menu and click 'Apply Settings'.
Hope this helps.
Hi thanks for your quick reply!
first, my Device Model ID is exactly, T-Mobile_LEO
Secondly...Oh, fer cryin' out loud. How could I have missed that! (maybe you have a bug such that the first three times I look at that menu, the "apply settings" option is invisible).
Cheers!
great app !
but one question ... will you offer a release for LEO-users with WM 6.5.X ???
This would be perfect.
Thanks.

If you are a T-Mobile US HD2 owner, you will have experienced a bug where the HD2 Options menu was disabled after loading Touch Tools.
Please re-download the CAB in the first post as this issue has now been resolved.

Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start]
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet
GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok
**If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.
GPS Status & Toolbox Fix
Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
Enable GPS
Open GPS Status & Toolbox
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions
I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)

> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
> Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
> How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.

The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!

The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
> Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.

> Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
> How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the sd card.

MIUI In The News
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

No. Wimax LEDs are used for notifications. That's the LED on the right side of the ear piece.
And the team is getting prepared with the kernel.

The OP stated that the kernel contains wimax support which would come in handle when the rom gets the support.

Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME
Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager
Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow
