[Q] Looking for a clean ROM - General Questions and Answers

Hello!! Many thanks to all the developers on here for your hard work!
I been strolling through the pages to find a clean ROM with no added taskbar at the bottom, and making use of the buttons instead. I couldn't find it. Is there one? I do like the idea of making full use of the large screen on my HD2!

[WAD][Theme][QVGA][Android skin]

Still in development, a quick look at my upcoming Android WAD Skin.
You can drag and add and remove items on your today screen to customize it as you like because the theme runs in author mode, however you can only move items on the today screen so theres no change of accidentally moving the start bar or anything else.
Download current verion here http://www.filefactory.com/file/ahhd2d3/n/Griggle_Ping_rar
Download latest ICON file here http://www.filefactory.com/file/ahhd193/n/ICONS_rar save to your storage card
YOU MUST RUN THIS THEME IN AUTHOR MODE TO MAKE FULL USE OF ITS CAPABILITIES!!
Any bugs please reply as im constantly working on it.
Will add a lock screen soon
UPDATE 3/08/09

Need some help

hey peeps
I've my.HD2for a few weeks now and there's a few things id like to change but I lack the knowledge of how.
1)id like to move the slide to unlock to the bottom of the screen, and make it semi see through.
2)it would be nice to have the today screen a lot clearer is there a file I can adjust? to do so
im pretty good with PhotoShop would love to put my bit into the community
I've got some theme ideas id like to share
I've noticed a lot of mods are in cab format how do I turn a theme or a taskbar icon pack into one?
I appreciate any help and ifsomeone can forward links that would really get me started
thanks Luke
Right i've found the images for the Opera Startup screen, and the lock slider. But i can't find the graphics for the sense clock? where are they?

Removing items from home screen?

Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry .
Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :
The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it
The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.
Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)
Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.
Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers , havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it .
Using duttys leo cooked rom, Manila 2.5.20113626
MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.
There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.
Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.

thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense . Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant .
What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far .
edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally , just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks .

[Q] Please help with older eyes

Hi guys, Could a ROM developer please create a ROM that uses fronts and icons that us middle aged+ people can read without going and finding a pair of glasses?
Cheers in advance
You could use a titanium rom (23xxx version) and turn the font size up (settings>screen>font size).
A default windows titanium rom will be much easier to read than Sense. Also make sure the start menu is 3 columns and not 4 or 5 like some cooks like. Theres a cab around here somewhere... Ill link to it if I come across it again.
Thanks for the advice, I'll give it a go.

Transparency without 3rd party apps???

Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..
