[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] JVH3:
Flash of Energy.RHODIUM.21680.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Oct.07

This post is not a question for help or a request for information.

As I test the ROM, I will continue to update this post with information.

Flashing Energy.RHODIUM.21680.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Oct.07

Flashing via Storage Card. Not running XDA_UC initially.

I want to test some start menus out.

Using Sense, you can get to all settings.

The Sense start menu replacement is different that the All Programs from the program tab that I install. Hoping that they are compatible.

In any case I am probably going to go with Panel, since it allows nesting of items into folders. I like the staggered lool of the normal start menu, but the memory savings are needed with our devices.

Flash complete. Hit No to running XDA_UC. I will hard reset later and run this.

I was thinking the program tab may have been included, since the Sense Start menu is an option, but it is not. I will install this by XDA_UC as normal.

Powered down and inserted SIM. Powered back up.

Switched start menu to panel layout.

I have gone through all the tabs. I have 90 MB free.

I still have not applied any person settings though.

Under settings, the scroll bar is too wide, forcing the icons to just 2 columns. They also do not appear to be the correct icons. See attached image.

I probably will still use this start menu, but I want to also see the others.

Trying sense start menu (most things I use are on quicklinks or on the program tab anyway. So, I might use this.

100MB free before going to other tabs.

92 MB free after going to all tabs.

Still have not applied personal settings yet.

This option rocks. It keeps a most recently used list.

I am not seeing a way to stop sense or start sense. Since you can't get to sense setting when sense is not running, we should put a couple mscr files on here. 1 to stop. 1 to start.

Installing the Program Tab with this option

I am installing the program tab, so I manually shut down sense.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense.

Then, I rebooted. Didn't think about the fact that there is not a way to start sense or run anything this way. Pressing start launches sense, if it is not running.

With sense running, I installed the program tab, and my 4 column mod of it. Transfered the 2 manila files for the tab settings manually and restarted.

This worked fine.

Start gives the program view with a 5 column grid.

Program tab -> All Programs gives a list.

General Notes:

It looks like the Today pluging for Sense is now called HTC Sense. This will affect some programs, such as my Weather City Editor. I should fix that to just disable all plugins and and enale what i disabled on exit. It will also affect some mscr scripts

ROM looks great. Amazing available RAM.

I have nto fully decided on Sense Start menu, or Panel.

I think a reg entry can fix the settings issue. I just don't know what yet.

Applying all personal settings through XDA_UC now.

Removing SIM. Hard resetting. Letting XDA_UC do it's thing.

After this is complete, I will report memory levels.

Using the Sense Start menu, I have 68MB after going through each tab with all my settings appllied.

exchange account and 3 other email accounts, program tab, voice command, Auto Call Recorder.

Also, I hae used the lock screen.
