Glad to see so many people offering their opinion's on all the options! Do any of the home apps out there fix the issue of hitting the home button and there being a few second lag for the icons to appear? I hate this lag and would download a home app in a second if it addressed this.

As for you open home lovers is there a faster way to get from page 1 to page 7? That is one thing I like about dxTop is being able to go from screen 1 to screen 4 without having to actually swipe 4 times.

Keep the feedback coming I love it!
[G1 Apps and Games] Dreddge:
See, I have seen alot of people complain about the lag, but I have absolutely no lag with open home AT ALL. There is no difference between the stock home, and open home for me. Now DXtop had the worst lag for me, in most cases the clock and icons took over 20 seconds to load (literally)
[G1 Apps and Games] Jefpier:
I tried them all and the two that got my attention was aHome and Open Home, and my winner is Open Home, but im using aHome as default bucause they dont install an icon and if i put Open as the default, it will be very difficult to find back aHome if you dont clear the default.

Why i use aHome? Because the easy ability to put every apps on screens, when driving is easier to find apps, etc., Easy icon rename, and is different to the Original Home and others.

Why i use Open Home? Because of the Free themes, Auto-Rotate, on screen keyboard for easy google searches and is the default Home, but with extra features and themes.

But i will give another try to dxTop and Sweeter to see if rhere are changes and improvements and their new themes.

Theres a NEW Home Alternative it is called "aniHome" its not free, cost .99 cents... anyone tried this one?
[G1 Apps and Games] xdavidn88:
I bought aHome at first, used it. Tried Open Home. Got hooked. Bought it.

Open Home looks so much better than aHome. It retains the original Android feel while adding more features.

Also I use Better Cut with the Gloss suite and icon packs. OMG I LOVE IT!
[G1 Apps and Games] xdavidn88:
they all come with demo/lite versions (free)

you can try them all out.
[G1 Apps and Games] Jefpier:
After giving another tried to Sweeter Home and customize my own theme, i can now said that is BETTER than aHOME, but i cant said the same thing when you commpared to Open Home, but Sweeter Home is a really cool home, i spent 2 hours customizing and love it.

Now im only missing aniHome, but im not going to bought it without more reviews.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ryanmo5:
Open home hands down
[G1 Apps and Games] khoaitaychienvn:
dxTop is for me. It doesnt consume lots of battery and it's more reliable than the others.
[G1 Apps and Games] Jefpier:
aHome just enable in an update the auto rotate feature and other things... its very intersting.
[G1 Apps and Games] xFOCUSEDx:
aHome

Looks cooler :p

Feels cooler :rolleyes:

Theme cooler :eek:

and it does not Run slow or logy on My g1 :D :D :D :D
[G1 Apps and Games] zwuncki:
I tried Open Home. To me it doesn't have too much too add. It's not THAT different to the normal Home Screen. dxTop unfortunately didn't work with my G1 and Sapphire ROM 5.01/02H nor 5.01G.

So I tried aHome and like it very much so far. It's stable, quite fast, you can add Widgets, different themes (I like the Dock). I just like it much more than Open Home because the Screen now looks totally different (which it hasn't with Open Home). I would have loved to try dxTop but again, didn't work with any of my Sapphire ROMs. Strangely it worked with some G1 from other Sapphire users here. And now that I already bought it once and got it refunded I can't try again if it works with newer builds! :(
[G1 Apps and Games] phanaks:
Sweeter Home for the win.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
dxtop works nearly perfectly with my 5.0G. Why not try the demo version on the market...
[G1 Apps and Games] zwuncki:
I know. There are some users saying it works perfectly. But it doesn't work here, says something like "Can't open Error", don't know the exact words. Don't know why.

Didn't know about the demo, thx. But I'm really satisfied with aHome I gotta admit!
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
I downnloaded the latest R3 H version, and now no themes in DxTop.
[G1 Apps and Games] Henchman:
Oops. Inore last post. Themes are under "appearance"
[G1 Apps and Games] Sistum Id:
How... I been using only aHome since it was released and I must of missed this. Anybody care to explain?
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
Open Home. No question. The best.
[G1 Apps and Games] brandenk:
I paid for all of them and I think aHome is my favorite (because of the tray that stays on each screen, and who needs 6 screens anyways?!?!?!), my next favorite was dxTop and then least used is OpenHome. Honestly right now with cupcake I am running the default home just because the speed is unparalleled but I think overall I am the most happy about my donation to aHome.
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
I just found "Sweeter Home" today.

This program is SICK.

You can get skins here as well: http://sweeterhomeskins.blogspot.com/

Its relatively new, so not that many skins out for it. But that dude has some good ones.
[G1 Apps and Games] brandenk:
Wow! Just wow! I downloaded the preview and didn't want to use it because it looked "too complicated". Well thank god I stopped being a ***** and gave it a try, the potential is amazing. You have full control over so many options and sizing and placement. Its a different way of things about the desktop of your phone but I think I just bought a 4th option for my home button. lol
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
Agreed. Go download the other skins, they show you how versatile this thing can really be.

I can't wait for the full release. I think this is going to blow all of the other home replacement programs out of the water.
[G1 Apps and Games] brandenk:
My mind is blown all over again with the addition of those themes. This just became my new favorite app by far! I cant say that I plan on it replacing my home button but OMG, this app is the future!
[G1 Apps and Games] thecolorifix:
dxTop

I've tried them all, and I always come back to dxTop for speed (though, it was getting slow for a while there, it seems to be fastest to me now), 1 flick access to any of the 4 screens, and the 2 tabs.

Now there's a dock @ the bottom hidden under the tabs, you just swipe the tabs to get to it. Works really well.

Another bonus is dxTop works great with 1.5 and it's widgets.
[G1 Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
Yeah, when the dock first came out wasn't sure i really needed it but now i have it i love it- and yet we still have the option of the 2 tabs.

And yes the standard stock Android 1.5 widgets work with dxtop!!!
[G1 Apps and Games] berre:
well I've been using Ahome for a while and I was quite happy with that until I discovered Dxtop :D

- only 4 screens

- no themes I think

+ screens can be accessed by a single slide no matter on which one you are

+ dock bar with room for 5 apps (compared to only 4 with Ahome)

+ Icon text is removed in dock bar which makes it smaller

+ The previous point prevents some widgets from being clipped like e.g. the weather widget (donate) was on the Ahome

+ you can drag 1x1 widgets in the dockbar

+ dockbar can be changed by the application and recently used drawers by a single swipe

+ ability to change icons, including the ones for folders (this wasn't possible with bettercut)

I did notice some issues when using bettercut... when adding a new shortcut via bettercut, the icons in the dock disappeared, the shortcut was created double and some of my widgets disappeared.

I don't know why this happened, maybe I have an older version of bettercut but anyway you don't really need bettercut anymore as Dxtop can do almost the same

Cheers

[Touch Cruise 2 General] lanceiro:
I think that i made a bad purchase.

Because:

- The speaker volume sound is a **** , i can't hear anything..

- TomTom doesn't work in Brazil, i don't have map for this.

- FootPrint doesn't work well because TomTom doesn't work.

- MP3 doesn't have volume control.

- The reset button is inside the cover.

- And before i'll post more...

I made a big **** when i bought this......

Please be carefull when chose to buy this phone.

I asked HTC about my problem with TomTom and a answer was:

Contact TomTom......

I have an ELF with Onix ROM and i have to say, it is much better than Cruise ROM.

I would like that HTC could read this post!!

Tomtom works great on mine. I'm using Tomtom 7 (yes it is compatible).
[Touch Cruise 2 General] lanceiro:
Sorry my friend but you didn't understand me....

Please don't be precipitate..

Your version of TomTom works with NaviPanel?

Are you in Brazil?

Please "read" before post.

The version installed in the Cruise is TomTom 7 too. I installed other version (7) of TomTom and works fine , but not with NaviPanel.

I have installed IGO8 and this work fine too.

But the size of the file "TomTom Navigator.exe" is diferent that is in the ROM ...

The problem is the NaviPanel!

And about the sound volume ? Is fine for you too????????

If all my problems are so my the rest of the buyers of Cruise are delighted!!!!!

Please read my post carefull.

[Touch Cruise 2 General] koalaii:
Thank you Lanceiro I can read I read you well when you say "Tomtom doesn't work".

So yes it works, and secondly it works great with footprint (you select a picture and tomtom will automatically select the destination). I'm not saying there is not an issue with your device but there is certainly an existing solution to your problem.

As for the sound, the external speakers are not good, true, but just as correct as any other HTC device I've tested. Still agree with you the speakers are crap but good enough for navigation.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] edje16mtg:
Answers to your questions!

I really like the device! Nice design, lightweight, nice features! So I'll try to make you like it more by helping you to find the answers to your questions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=436552&highlight=speaker+volume

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=428170&highlight=speaker+volume

- TomTom doesn't work in Brazil, i don't have map for this.

- FootPrint doesn't work well because TomTom doesn't work.

Try Igo 8, it has Brazil maps > forget about navi-screen or footprint :)

- MP3 doesn't have volume control.

Use speaker volume buttons...

- The reset button is inside the cover.

Nice freeware, working perfectly!!! Install the wm2003 version!

I'm not blind.And others subjects

To "erzketis":

Sorry , but i'm not blind...

I use glasses but i'm not blind.

TomTom have many maps , i think for many countries around the world, but in Iolite only for a few.

Why???

Do you know why????

I don't.

By the way, do you work for HTC or TomTom????

To Koalaii:

I'm happy that works for you , but you aren't in Brazil.

Big thanks to "edje16mtg"you are great!!!!

Thank you for your goodwill and friendliness!!!!!!
[Touch Cruise 2 General] erzketis:
No, I don't work for any of these companies.

But thats your fault not the HTC's that you didn't read the description and what is included in the iolite's packed. That would be the same as if I would by a car and then I would blame the manufacturer that this car doesn't has an air conditioning system built in, most of the cars has this system, or not?

By the way, I think you can buy Brazil map from TomTom, have a look:

Yes, i know , i can buy the Brazil map.

Thank you very much erzketis!!!

But I will continue being the same person that does not mean methods of those companies, HTC and TomTom.

Right now I have an ATT Tilt with Radio 1.65.21.18

But it has alot of call issues, would changing the radio help?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Absolutely positively maybe

The answer is a definite maybe - it depends on what's causing the 'call issues'. Did a hard reset stop the 'call issues'? Read the wiki/stickies so you're up to speed before trying any flashing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] LancerV:
Yep still does it, Ill be talking to my friends, gf, family and wham says call ended
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
If you are running a stock AT$T rom, probably not. AT$T doesn't just through in any radio. They test the best radio for the rom and use that.

I would talk to AT$T warranty about it. I have seen new sim cards solve the problem and new phones solve the problem, but I doubt it is a radio issue.

If your SMS Reply area is too small and/or covered by the keyboard, you can adjust the space where you type in your reply by doing the following:

1. Connect your phone via Active sync to your PC.

2. In activeSync window, click on Tools/ExplorePocketPC/MyWindowsBasedDevice/Windows and,

3. locate a file with the name "thread_sms.htm", copy then paste in a folder on your PC.

4. Right Hand click on the "thread_sms.htm" the one you copied on your PC and Click Open with Notepad.

5. Locate the line that reads "<Inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBJECT" width="98%" height=## spell" ( ## maybe 30 or 40 or whatever).

6. Change the height=## spell" to 90.

7. Click on save and exit.

8. copy the file you just modded to your Windows directory on your device via ActiveSync. It will replace the existing file and now you increased the SMS typing area by at least 75%.

open the attached htm with note pad and you will see what I mean.

Asfoor,

Another good tips. Thanks!

I use Xplore (from LonelyCatGames.com) and copy the file from Windows, do edit (it has nice text editor) and replace original. I kill Tmail.exe from process first, and replace the file. It works great (but I think I'll change that to 60 .. too big for me ;) )

Now on your new ROM, can I request some enhancement from Athine Jan 22?

Upon booting, the SIM lock input always got superseded by the M2D. When I used L26's TF3D V4, it stays on SIM lock until I keyed in the PIN and then it continues. I think as a phone, this is a more usual behaviour.

For Athine, I do a workaround by invoking green phone button, put the PIN, and press red button to exit, but it's not as smooth as expected.

Also, do you have idea why autopick on network (ISP) not working? It goes to the first on the list, failed (because I'm on another ISP SIM), but doesn't change or pick the next (which is the correct ISP). I have to manually select.

I tried searching around the forum, it seems that it never works .. ??

Now No 2 Chem came out with a USB2PC Mass Storage application that works flawlessly. But now that the diamond and TPro came out, they are using very similar software with a new Pop-Up image.

But was it n2c who took a beta for of HTC's USB2PC application and fixed it for his own gain, or was it HTC who stole from n2c and made it their own?
[General Questions and Answers] Whosdaman:
What does everyone advoid this question because n2c is so pretigiuous amoung the PPC people? That he could have ripped off HTC? Or the other way around?
[General Questions and Answers] the-equinoxe:
Actually, that is a false dichotomy

Some other options:

-no-one bothers to answer this question

-no-one cares

I don't care if he ripped a beta, patched an existing version or wrote the whole thing himself.

It works like a charm, and that is what matters.
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
to take it as if no2chem did something wrong, would be ridiculous as his massstorage app is aimed at different devices which DONT have this option built in. instead of implying he ripped someone off, maybe you should thank him for working his ass off to provide people with software.

and why don't you ask why HTC has a calendar which resembles Thumbcal?
