I think manila/htc sense is not just the best UI on wm devices, but also the best UI on all phones. I think it's far better than the s-class UI on LG devices and much, much better than the touchwiz interface on samsung devices.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ibsa03:
i do agree that it makes everything so much easier, but what kills me is the warp, like Nickch said, the split second, while scrolling from side to side, and then without u wanting it you've stopped at the music tab, and you cant go on cause the phone takes a mini time to load ur music files,.. i hope in the HD2 is much smoother!

SPB 3 - best UI I've ever seen
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] D'rath:
Manila to me is better: I tried PointUI, SPB 3, Titanium (gastly!), standard home, widgets home and so on...

The only problem is the limited link personalization.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skulk3r:
I use Manilla - while it isn't as customisable as other shells, it is the most practical. You can see multiple appointments without hassle and has a favourite programs launcher =]. Another big plus is the Manilla Calendar app in v2.6 - the fact that Manilla even covers the ugly Windows Calendar app when you input a new appointment is awesome.

Tried SPB Mobile 3/3.5, but the widgets are just too ugly and i couldn't find widgets that I liked with the user-made ones

PointUI looks interesting, but i feel that it wouldn't provide /that/ much of an advantage.

Titanium is good looking and smooth, but impractical for appointments and the user-made plugins (e.g.: fav contacts, etc) are not refined enough to look that nice.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Archer:
I swap quite regularly between Titanium and PointUI. I love both of them equally. I did really love TouchFLO for a long time, but found what other people have said - it's occassionaly laggy and/or slow, and sometimes doesn't even notify me of things like new texts or emails.

Looking forward to trying the latest Manila on my new HD2 next week. I reckon the 1GHz CPU should make a difference, maybe :D

SPB Mobile Shell 3.5

I was using Manila for couple of days and then I found SPB Mobile Shell 3.0. After this switching back to Manila (every time when I installed a new ROM), was a disappointment. Still completely faithful to SPB Mobile Shell, now in updated version 3.5
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] OnlinePredator:
I tried them all for a while (SPB,Titanium, PointUI), forcing myself to like them, but in the end I ALWAYS go back to manila. It presents all the info nicely on the home screen, and allows a nice interface to see your sms and emails with just a tap on the slider. I love the way sms and emails appear in manila, instead of SBP using the standard windows mobile messaging thingie.

Now tf3d 2.5 or 2.6 watever it is rocks my pants off and to me is the best interface for the hd.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] SonOfAngkor:
I love Manila 2.5, but it could be visually better with the Manila 2.1 "People" and "Email" Widgets...The cube-like slider columns and row isn't much of an eye candy! IDK..just my opinion...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Wiggz:
I use Manila 2.5 and I have to say I'm impressed with it. I love HTC's additions to hide the base WM environment. I have tried Point UI, SPB MS 2/3/3.5 and a couple of others and the only other time I would use something that wasn't TF3D would be if I wanted simplicity and in that I would use titanium.

Manila for me wins hands down currently.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Neko Koneko:
I don't like Manilla 2.5, it's just too slow. I like Manilla 2.1, which is a lot faster, but I'm sad to see that all the roms that come with manilla are full of bloatware :(

as my signature already states: homescreen plusplus

for me it is important to have the screen exactly as i need it to be.

i have all day-to-day functions available with no more than one single "click".

no sliding, no waiting, no interruptions, no two or three screen touches anymore...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] OnlinePredator:
Nice! Am downloading trial now. Guessing this is an update as part of 3.5?

Ah man, tried it, firstly uses up a fair chunk of battery! New windows builds with the start menu down the bottom - overlaps the bottom icons on the home screen of SPB which is pretty annoying. When a new message comes through, to see what it reads i press the message icon and it goes to HTC messaging? Didn't see any nice 3d messaging thing. I'm using 23240 and spb keeps crashing - either new windows build doesn't like spb or spb doesn't like the new builds ;-)

AH! Found the 3d messaging, does look much better than manila, although when you hit reply goes back out of spb and into win or htc messaging..... And haven't figured a quick way of displaying sms on home screen as of yet...... back to manila?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] DocSc00teR:
Okay, I'm sure I'm just being dense, but I can't figure out how to change the wallpaper on my new HTC Pure. That is, I can't change it beyond the Home Screen.

I've tried selecting wallpaper from both the TouchFlo "Wallpaper" button in the "Settings" slider tab, as well as the "Today" setting in WM 6.5.

The end result is I can change the colors of the bars and the wallpaper on the home screen. But if I move the slider in TouchFlo to anything other than Home (say, "Calendar" or "Settings" or whatever) I still see the default AT&T logo.

What am I doing wrong?

I tried searching the topic in numerous different places but found guides for phones other then Dream. Let me explain what I wish to do. I want to change the 2nd boot screen. Not the black & white "T-Mobile G1" screen, but the one that follows it. I just want to really take the boot screen from one rom/theme and place it inside of another. Is this at all possible without unmaking the entire rom/theme?

you cannot change the animation with out having the resign the theme/rom

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
how does a rom overwrite the splash1 or splash2 screen lee? :p
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
You tryin to make me get technical this late in the day. Remember back in the day before we loaded up the danger spl we had splash1 and splash2. The T-mobile screen was on both splash screens. And when you changed the splash screen splash1 would appear for just like 2 or 3 seconds and splash2 would appear for about 20 or 30 seconds until the animated gif came on. Then when we loaded the danger spl that eliminated splash2 to create room since that overwrite everything. Do I need to search and show proof of this cause I would love to throw it in your face.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
And it's not the rom that overwrites splash2 its the spl.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kusotare:
Perhaps I can take care of it better than supreme can, he seems a bit tired. Go take a nap dude. :) Oh yeah, and I wrote a full tutorial on it anyway. He wants to know how to change the boot animation (which is neither splash1, or splash2), which is relatively simple.

@SG_Shadow: the process you're looking for is simple, and theres a video tutorial in my signature. All you have to do is open the theme zip, find and open the framework-res.apk, navigate to the assets folder and extract the android-logo-mask and android-logo-shine png files that you want to use. Then take them and place them in the exact same location in the new rom. Use the autosign batch file that can be found in the themes forum to sign the rom, then flash it to your phone.

There is actually a way of doing this without having to flash the entire rom, but it involves extracting most of the central rom files so you're essentially just flashing a theme, but you dont seem like you've fiddled around with these things enough to get into that.

I am wondering if anybody else is having the same problem.

I am on Rogers and one out of 20-30 incoming calls does not go through. No matter if it made from a land line or Rogers network. It goes to my voicemail (more often) or sometimes it gives 'number not in service' error. I tried my SIM card on Nokia phone and I could not reproduce the problem. Rogers sent me a replacement phone but it has exactly same problem.

I did not realize I had this problem until someone complaind and I did a test. Do you want to try making 50 calls to your phone and see if every one gives you a ring?

Any info/help would be appreciated.

Update: I tested in a different location and I received every single call. It is probably a network related issue.

Any new rom we have to wipe EXT2/3 where all my apps are stored so does nandroid also back this up and restore or is it just system settings?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Nandroid won't back up your apps. It backs up data and settings. You can just back up all your apps to have them on hand so when you wipe your ext partition you still have them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
if you want to back up your ext3 then look for either BART of switchrom in the dev section, a nandroid by itself though doesn't restore the ext3 since it only backs up the phone.

Upgrading the xdaii rom

Hi ClioRS

Just upgraded my xda 11 last month and new to all this so and ittook me weeks to find out what to do and how to do it, and i have been in it for 20 years/////. So thought i would shorten your searching time.

As I said I am new to all this but a good rom is the wm 6.1 Dark Lord by xda developer "ATHER".

I have been using it for a month now and its very stable, (I will have to donate some £ to him).

When you download the RAR file from his thread, shown at the bottomof this message. All the instructions are zipped into the RAR, as well as all the upgrade files.

Please find Athers upgade "Newbie instructions" below. Takes about 30 minutes to clean and upgrade the Rom.

Ather's Newbie instructions:

Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:

DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton

After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.

Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.

You are in bootloader mode now.

Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle

is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub

and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.

It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.

Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".

Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe

Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed

on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading ROM Image, please wait....',

but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.

Detach your device from the cradle.

Now you have to hardreset your device.

Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.

Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:

(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO

Clean Registry Hive -> YES

Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

I have included Athers instructions above because I know I was lost and took me two weeks to find and understand what was going to happen to my beloved phone.
