[General Questions and Answers] mentalee:
both excellent options above, but wanted to throw another into the mix if anyone is interested and doesn't want to do rom flashes and/or paid/bloated apps to do this.

I Used a small EXE (4.5 Kb) by Shubaroo.com called StartMenu.exe

http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=startmenu

That simply toggles the existing WinMo Start Menu on/off.

I then mapped my Left Soft-Key (on my Fuze) to execute The StartMenu.exe via a registry Hack at:

\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 (left Key)

changed the value of "Default" to "Start"

and "Open" to the "\full-path-to\startment.exe"

\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 (is the right key)

You can use Total Commander to edit the registry on a windows mobile phone, but you could also use any Button Mapping app out there to do the same thing (AE Buttons is good), but again I'm into running as few apps as possible so I found the registry hack best.

This tip doesn't move your existing start bar to the bottom, it simply just maps a more thumb-friendly button to opening the existing start-menu.

Hope that helps!

Which is best wm 6 (official) wm.6.1 or wm6.5?

Risto

Firstly, I can't suggest anything that lynxxx hasn't already said, in the thread linked to this one.

Secondly, "what's the best ROM" is very subjective - we all have different opinions of what we consider "the best".

Ask yourself: what balance do you need between speed, stability, ease of user interface, "look & feel", functionality, battery-life.

You don't say which OS and device you're using at the moment. If it's any help, here's what I did to my WM5-running Hermes100:

1) SuperCID and SIM-unlocked

2) Installed HardSPL

3) Installed "OEM" AT&T ROM

4) Tried out a variety of WM6.5 custom ROMs (I used "lite" / "ultralite" versions where available).

With the WM6.5 ROMs, I liked the improved battery-life and the look & feel; but - I stress, for my needs - I found them too unstable and too slow.

I regressed to a WM6.1 custom ROM; with Home2Pro gui and custom theme.

My device is now perfect for my needs.

I was a noob at this, only a few months ago. The best way to find out what's right for you is simply to try a variety of ROMs - and, trust me, it's great fun and very addictive!

if you slide the keyboard out it will rotate to landscape but with blank home screen. this version of TF3D only supports landscape in pictures and music still. the text messaging screen does not auto rotate either, if you slide the keyboard out it will go to landscape but will not go back until you use the rotate screen app to make it go back.

i am sorry but i have to disagree, i think this rom is far too complex, for example there is no seperate section for 'My Programs' all the 'My Programs' and settings are all mixed up together, i did not like it at all

Working SMS/MMS,Setting(Other),Location,BT AVRCP,Alarm/Reminder sounds as they should

So far, it's just Youtube not playing video and showing an error, the blank screen after recording a video(but could get rid of by short press on power and home button after). Other than that, its almost perfect :)

Is there a black bottom bar to replace this greyish bar where they have the Windows start logo, phone, menu, etc. that they have for the homepage and maybe take the circles off the button?

EDIT: I just noticed that this ROM has moving animations(if it wasn't cloudy, I wouldn't have noticed it all!) ALL THE TIME when at homepage!!!Made Youtube work by downloading app from http://m.youtube.com/appHave to add too that this doesn't have memory leaks. Not really bad for a temporary ROM. If I cannot find a ROM as good as this, or better, I might have to make this my permanent!

My gps is connection is too slow. I am in the middle of copenhagen but it takes minutes to find my location in IGO also i lost connection frequently :(

my port is and baud rate is57600.

Any idea would help me.

thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] april09:
I guess there are three things you can do:

1. Input your port and baud rate in the GPS parameters setting,

2. Reset your GPS to see whether it is quicker.

3. Sometimes too much information displayed in the map makes your GPS slow. So you could hide some unnecessary items.

If it still doesn't work well, you can contact the customer service for help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Limlin:
GPS is actually very fast once it has acquired its satellites — it can update your position several times each second. The other problem in urban environments is that tall buildings make it difficult for the GPS to see enough satellites.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ezman:
Hi, I convinced my wife to get another winmo phone and she hates it! whoops. :) she was complaining that with the default ROM the calendar wouldn't show the way she wanted it and it was laggy, and the predictive text was mental.

Anyway I put the Gen Y D2 Rom on and she deson;t like that, mainly as the phone doesn't seem to be able to ring without soft reseting after each phone call.

So I just need a ROM which retains touch-flo but keeps the original wm6 style calendar, messaging, or at the very least keeps things simple without loads of extra stuff. The predictive text thing is the biggest complaint with both ROMS s far.

Is it jut a case of going to a better HTC Rom or is there a decent cooked ROM which keeps things fast and simple?

Thanks,

Ezman

Hi, just wondering is it possible to play video files from your PC over the wireless network on your mobile? Can anyone tell me how? do you need some third party software? Thanks.
[Touch HD General] bogdatov:
I do it from time to time. I have PopcornHour media player in network and also my PC has some movies. I'm using 11g, not 11n network.

Just use regular share on your PC to make it available on network. Then ... I'm using Resco Explorer and map that share from PC or PopcornHour very much like you do in PC.

After that you just open file using CorePlayer. Currently watching "Friends". I'm not recoding it for HTC HD, just using same AVI file for PC and HTC HD. Works OK.

Your results may vary ... different network, and more important ... bitrate of movies. I watch "Friends" OK, but had to recode to mp4 for "Sopranos".

[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
Yes in short. Read the sticky guides in the dia 2 forum so you dont end up bricking ur device. WHen 6.5 offically comes out then of course u can flash to it, if you flash without hardspl (uspl) then no-one will ever know you flashed a cooked rom if you do revert back to official one.

Just a word though, do read before you flash, you will void your warranty flashing a cooked rom, so your choice.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] Uraeus:
I had been wanting to make a new clean and lightweight installation for a long time, because I had tried so many softwares on my Rom that it was kinda messed up. This thread was the trigger.

I tried 3LIT3 naked, M.Amine light, and another "light" Rom I can't remember as it erased it in no time (toooo sloooooow).I had tried oter Roms before, but none was really fast.

It turns out that Manilla is slow as hell (yeah, I know, no big surprise), but the enhanced menus are sluggish too. Really, it makes a huge difference. Much more than several % of free memory

.

Amine light ended being the best choice fo speed by far. I have no numbers to back it up, as the only testism daily use.

M.Amine light comes with... nothing, or close. Just the basic tweaks.

I added everything I needed from Cabs from this thread : HTC home (yes, Amine Light is SO LIGHT it does not even have home plugin!), HHC, Cube (which is fast, and convenient imo), TomTom (I own a licence) plus a task manager and Skyfire both downloaded from other webites.

It took me about 10 minutes to complete the whole installation and my phone has never been faster. And stable.

I have used M.Amine Roms for a while in the past, so I expect it to remain pristine even after intensive use.

[General Topics] Rudegar:
with reg files you can write your own stuff and create keys you set yourself which will have no effect on the device

that way you can test yourself if \ vs. \\ matters at all

maybe they end up with the same key maybe one of them don't work

your test will show you
