Its really not easy to browse as is at the current state :/
There is 1 app post for ever 15 skin or icon posts..Its really hard to browse "whats new" , heck even the clock topics for cht must be over 50 by now!
So my suggestion is to split the "HD2 Themes and Apps " subforum to "HD2 Themes and iconsets " and "HD2 Apps and moded apps" or something similar to that..or even further split the App part into
1)office and keyboard
2)multimedia apps and encoding
3)gaming
4)Mods and OS Maintenance
5)GPS and mapping
6)Social Networking related
e.t.c a la marketplace
I wouls love to see our beloved forum organised this way and believe would also save time to many many members that cannot find what they are looking for. and much less "is there an app for doing XYZ ?"
Just my 2 Cents..If this was decided to be adopted i would volunteer to help organizing it in any way i could. Thank you.

I fully agree - Needs splitting down for better organization !
Add my vote to this as well please.
I agree to split skins/themes and apps
I don´t agree. I wouldn´t look in 3 or more Subforums to see all new threads.
1 big Forum is good. After leaving the forum i marked it as read and later i see only the new one.
Thats good as it is
+1
It would make things easier
Agree. It's hard to browse like this =)
Good Idea.
Meh too bad i forgot to put a poll as well...now with edit there seems to be no option to add one..
Nevermind found it !
Totally agree with this idea too !
I have seen it done elsewhere where there is a sub forum that contains all items in the catergory and then there is another sub forum that contains all the same apps catergorised into further more specific sub forums. everything new gets added to the general forum before it is catergorised. This is great in that if your just looking around for something cool and new you can look in general and then if you need something more specific you can go through the categorised ones. He is a picture of what i mean.
Catergories A and B may be divided to sub catergories beyond that but you get the idea
Great idea, I totally agree
split please
Agree totally.
i disagree and agree with "icefreunde"
when i'm interested in apps and themes and ...and... and... , then i have to check 3 or more sub-forums in order to be up-to-date.
and believe me, we germans know what being "over-organized" means
+1, I agree. It would be great to look through apps seperately on those occasions when I'm temporarily happy with my theme.

LOOOOL
+1 ! Split !
Agree!
Split into:
1. Themes ('skins', icons, clocks, sliders, wallpapers etc.)
2. Apps (new apps, modded apps etc.)
Great idea, it's a mess right now
I love how cookie ht 1.8.5 allows us to simply place a wallpaper on the home tab in high quality, and the ability to put one wallpaper for all other sense tabs, and the mini lock screen. I'd like to push this ability one more step!!!
I would like someone to give me the ability to make a custom wallpaper just for the calendar tab.. or just behind the music tab
one for the music tab.... i have set the landscape, but it's the same as other landscape screens. i'd totally love custom for each screen
I noticed DrSrF BUUFfet custom look has made a weather tab with other wallpapers in the other tabs (Rawrscary/Degake) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683771 using a robot wallpaper. I so want this ability on my hd2!!! Some one please help me with this task?!!
I can't be the only person wanting to rectify this feature for the HD2. I use CHT 1.8.5 simply for the fact of three custom wallpapers, but i totally could see even customizing a few other tabs. one wallpaper across 11 tabs look terrible in my opinion.
with the research i've done in the past few days, I have found a link with xperia x1 user that has configured 13 wallpapers in sense 2.5! I tried to install, but there was a lack in directions to how i may customize these features on tabs.
here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799&page=12
Please speak up, just support the idea, and maybe a few devs will look into making this possible!!!
Good idea! support it!

Well, In that thread it's just a CAB that they have for that theme. Not really sure exactly if there is some other way to get it changed. If there is, I do not know. Maybe drop a line in the Cookie thread and see if he can build something into the next version of his CHT mod... that would be awesome
As far as HOW - THEY - did it... no clue. I want to know myself. If you find out, PM me please
The thread was talking about wallpapers etc and there was a specific Karas Green wallpaper provided but also a link to a thread where it showed different homescreens but also had titles and references to every widget name etc so onlookers could download and create similar homescreens/styles as wanted...
I cant seem to find that thread at all anymore nor have any idea what the thread title was. I know i was looking for wallpapers when i stumbled on it and im sure it was on the Droid X themes and apps but i literally spent the last 3+ hours going through wall paper thread page by page looking for those two symbols which i know were in that thread. One of them being the Karas character wallpaper in green and than someone posting that link...
I have looking in general android themes and was not able to find it there...as i said im sure it is in our droid X themes and wallpapers but have no luck in finding it....Do either the Green Karas wallpaper or that link to themes and references turn on any lights for anyone? much appreciated if you could direct me to that thread...
Thank you
You mean this?

The past week i have been messing around a lot with my phone.
First i had Artemis with android on sd. I thought id try a nand android, but it had a less responsive screen. Also the navigation solutions are not what i am used to with igo8.
The only nice thing about android is the use of the nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on. It also has a lot off apps but most of them are useless.
I am back to win mobile but this time i am trying the energy rom
I would love to see more widgets for our Winmobile phones, so that we have best of both worlds in one package.

Have you tried cookie's home tab 2.0 yet? We already have working widgets for all those items you mentioned.. gmail, weather, sms, news and all kinds of others as well (clocks, music players, stop watches, calc's, etc..). I'd suggest searching and doing some reading first b4 posting. I look at it as we already have the best of both worlds since we can run all those other OS's with our devices. Lets see android run windows mobile and do it well.
A have been using cht for a long time now.
Energy has it baked into his rom.
Since i registered here i have been reading a lot and normally i don't ask for things.
I like to read an be a little on the background on this forum, that is why i don't have so many post counts. I was using Artemis since ver 16, almost everyday i visit this forum. I like it very much, only thing is that i can't find what i want using the search function. Often too many hits.
I think i spent about 17 hours this weekend on searching for widgets and stuff.
Sadly could not find it, that is why i posted this.
I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks

Hey man my bad for the way that came across. I wasn't bad mouthing or saying anything negative, its just that alot of people start new threads asking questions that could easily be found/answered with a simple search. Believe me, I know how frustrating it could be to find what your looking for using the search here in the forums but thats because of all these new threads being started when the question could be asked/answered in one of many threads on similar topic. Please don't take it as I'm complaining and I certainly don't won't to detour you from posting..i'm just trying to help keep things less cluttered around here. Now anytime anyone else searches for "widgets" they'll have another thread added to the list. See what I mean?
Damn thats a long ass time..17 hours and you came up empty handed?
Here are links to all the CHT Widgets i could find. (just searched and came up with these..)
1 rat_2665's CHT 2.0 Clock Widgets
2 ZaxXx's CHT2.0.0 Widgets
3 DJC & BobsBBQ "Touch of Glass" Sense 2.5/Windows MP Skin
4 RESIZABLE RSSReader
5 CHT2.0 WIDGET TypoClock
6 CHT widget B&L_Group Alarm Widget
7 Oxygene Analogue Clock
8 dSign Clock v1.3 (typoclock variant)
9 Colossus MOD of Poyensa Typoclock
10 The Ultimate Geek Clock
11 MIUI Analog Clock - 3 Clockface Options
12 GregReadClock English
13 Transparency clock
14 Poyensa's Read Clock & Azarbel's DrecWordClock
15 B&L_Group Weather Widget
16 B&L_Group Birthday Widget
17 Background Set
18 TEXTBattery Widget
19 only 10 widget slot problem solution
I understand what you are trying to say.
Those are the ones i also have found.
There are lots of clock widgets and a few other things.
But the widgets i have mentioned earlier......nice widgets like Gmail, Weather, SMS, News and so on..... I still can't find them except for an weather widget(which only works with a few places in Holland, and another one is the same layout as standard) And i could use the rss widget for the news.
Id love to see less clocks and more like news, gmail and that sort of stuff.
Maybe the choice of widgets is a bit smaller because the core functions of WinMo and Sense are quite strong already.
And once CHT is in action, you can make shortcuts/quicklinks to existing apps. Why bother to make a widget for something existing, it´s like re-inventing the wheel, imho.
As an example, touching the sms or mail notification, the respective app opens immediately. That´s perfect for me...
Your right it has nice features already built in but dont like the extra steps i have to make to see a list of all the mails and mark them as read.
In android i swipe to a side and i see all my mails in a list and and check the ones i would like to mark as read. I have a lot of mail traffic that is why i would love that.
The same with news, swipe the other way and have the news right on the screen.
I know that there are more ways to do the trick, but i like the way they do it in android.

WOW dude..So than buy an android! Why complain that your windows mobile isn't more like android..I mean seriously man. I just listed close to 20 different widgets, when you said you spent 17 hrs searching to find nothing, and thats still not good enough. What did you think by starting this thread developers where going to line up here asking what you'd like? Develop them yourself if you don't like everyone else's hard work. You speak of sms and email with one swipe to the side..Those are 2 of the easiest things to set up with cht since they're default widgets.(don't have to install any additional cabs).
I thought asking would be free.
It would have been easy for you just to say that there is no such widget like i asked for.
End of discussion i'll start reading again and try not to post to much.

hey there. these posts get my blood a tad boiling. why? because xda is free and the contributors do not get paid to post. everything here is because people want to create and share. yet these threads happen and in my opinion they just seem to spit in the face of all that work. see the thing is, you didn't ask. you complained. you want nice widgets, implying the ones made for you for free were not good enough. you want less clocks and more other widgets. and you want them for free. WM has never been built on widgets; only with maxsense roms and cht can you find widgets. but yet, you want more. if you want something and it doesn't exist; make it. but really complaining in a forum where wares are made for free that there isn't enough out there is, well, rude.
a post of mine, in a different thread, but with the same message:

hey.
so your post irkes me. at first i was going to ignore it but here i am.
you see, not only do you lessen the work of the people providing "tweaks" (like you are disdainful at people's free work) but you ignore all the fantastic work being done here and just sweep it all under the rug as being "roll overs" and "simple upgrades." really? there are a ton of apps (widgets?) in this forum and the windows mobile general forum that are fantastic...and free.
yes, free.
and provided because people want to share. nothing more.
not enough for you? start developing.
bored of all the tweaks and changing of winmo 6.5? start making some art.
what do you expect with your post? people to run to you and ask you what specific things they can make for you? how they can appease your wants? how about next time you use someone's work, say thanks or buy them a cup of coffee if you can. but don't sit there complaining that what is provided free to you is not enough.
or even better, contribute.

It was impossible for me to find better words. Thanks
I think i stepped on en few toe's here.
Just to get things straight, I really appreciate what all the devs are doing.
And as long as i cant do even a little of what they are doing, you wont hear me complaining about anything they make. I personally cant stand it when people keep nagging that something isn't right on a rom or app.
Believe me, i meant good by starting this post.
Goodbye for now.
Since CHT 2.0.0 was released there is an oportunity to add widgets in the home page of the Sense. [[ UPPPSSS !!! sorry forgot MaxSense ]]
CHT is free & open source, and all the members of the CHTgroups are kindly helping to anybpody who wants to edit, modify and create new CHT widgets. Its not so difficult as you could think initially, i tell you by experience. Just try and have fun
But sense is also more than home tab. Further the standar tabs you can add RSS tab, TV tab, FB tab, documents tab, weather tab, game15th tab, and some others i cannot remember right now.
Even WM is more than sense: titanium, SPB shell, wad, throttle launcher, and some others for sure i dont know!
Anyway i dont understand any competition between OS, I never use other than WM but frequently visit android-WP7 forums (even Iphone ) Anywhere is good for inspiration!
By now the CHT widgets list is limited. I hope that future verssions will bring more widgets. Up to now i have seen lot of PM movement, but I am sure is time to open a thread for widget makers and try to involve more friends in this job pleasure.
Enjoy yourselves!

Hi everyone, noob here.
I come to you for advice after exhausting my ability to Google properly.
I have an idea for a homescreen project and I will try to describe it as clearly as possible. I am running a Motorola triumph with cm7.
I saw a screenshot of someone's phone which I am hopeless to find again.
HERES WHAT I WANT:
On my main homescreen I want shortcut links to other homescreens that are organized by function (work, communication, social, gaming). I would like those shortcuts to be text-based, but larger than the standard icons.
As far as I can tell, only adwlauncher ex has shortcuts to other screens. I don't want to swipe, nor zoom out to a view of all screens to select.
The reason adw bothers me is that there is seemingly no way to change the size of icons. I downloaded desktop visualizer but it does not give me the option to choose one of adws "screen 1,2,3" shortcuts to configure.
In the simplest terms, I want adws screen shortcut links with the ability to resize or change them. Maybe I'm missing something simple (this is my first Android and I've only had it for maybe 45 days so that's probably likely), but I wanted to seek advice from the best forum for information.
Thank you for following my meandering mind, if you have any questions I will try to clarify.
James
I hope it's OK, I don't want to make a bad impression, I want to bump this thread.
Have you tried folders I have four system media tools games with hundreds of apps between them.
There's an app called smart shortcuts that organizes stuff all so.
