Hi

sorry my bad english

in manila Slider under People i think the picture icons to big - anyone has a cab for smaler icons or 4 icons in a row?

thx

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tnyynt:
For instance, look at the File Explorer icon in Start Menu. Looks sharp. Add the File Explorer shortcut as a quick link on Sense home screen and compare the icon to what it looked like in the Start Menu. It is slightly bigger and a bit blurred.

I'm interested in a fix for that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
aaahhh... easy, get icon of your choice, example fileexplorer.png

and put it in windows catalog

then do this in regedit...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\File Explorer.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\fileexplorer.png"

then it shows the png as icon...

Hey smaberg,

Some nice fixes here, loving having the task manager. And using your old alarm and ringtone CAB from the X1!

I have a little question however. Is there anyway you could make a CAB to disable the haptic feedback on the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] crus:
I installed this but it did not work.

When I press and hold the send button on the HD2, it gives me this error message:

The file 'RotateScreen' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.

Anyone here can help me?

Also thanks for the:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
Of course it doesn't. It's the same on a PC as well (not always). When you are running a game, Alt+Tab might not work. You have to first come out of it with "windows" or "Home" key and then use "alt+tab" to get back to that or another program.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nikow778:

where is the good path to delete them? in Windows/StartMenu??? thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
yes but also in registry, don't know the exact path right now' but out is where you change the icons for different applications.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] nikow778:

hd2 questions

1)does Touch X screen responsiveness less sensetive.cab decrease the screen sensetivity only during typing which makes typing easier (according to some) or does it decrease the screen sensetivity all around the phone and not just during typing?

2) how do i uninstall cabs from hd2? like regular programs- from settings-> remove programs menu in htc sense?

Hello,

My question is about weather tab ;

Is there a way,

1. To change font color ?

2. Decrease the transparency of bottom 4 days forecast ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
I have two issues with the tool:

It maps to the same key as the Comm Manager (longpress sendkey)

It does allow to select an application without switching but there is no "end application" button, which means you can't completely do without a task manager application.

Therefore:

Can someone prepare a custom cab that maps to the longpress return key for this application or for the Comm Manag, or explain where in the registry the key mapping can be changed in general

Can you contact the developer on his thread and ask for the extra feature of closing seected applications (potentially through double tap or longpress instead of single tap?).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
I think the CABS for this are missing here, but you need the HDWall patch + any HDWall wallpaper (that spans across the whole screen).

There is a thread with someone who offered to create such wallpapers based on your background pictures and the patch is available there. I think this should be added to this thread along with a pack with the best wallpapers from that thread.

EDIT:

Here is the link to this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601369

This has been the fastest way for me to achieve top and bottom transparency with wallpaper going full screen without any compatibility issue with 16 icon / 20 icon home screen!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
I know those things. You have to choose between Comm Manager or Alt+Tab for now. Because the longpress on the Call button is something defined in the ROM. It's not like we can do the longpress on any other button or make it a "double press" (this is what our dear friend smaberg told me). But that's for now.

There is a new Alt+Tab file coming with closing function.

The thing about the registry is something that smaberg knows. So, it's up to him if he wants to share that info :)

Link to HD Wall patch and HD2 Wallpapers

Hello Threadowner

Due to the request above, let me post a link to the (imho) best customization thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601369

I believe it would be useful to post the HDWall patch in your thread as well as 5-10 HD Wallpapers (spanning across the full screen). This has been the fastest way for me to achieve top and bottom transparency with wallpaper going full screen on all tabs without any compatibility issue with 16 icon / 20 icon home screen!

Together with the transparent slider, clock and curtain cabs, this gives the nicest HD2 look!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
The long press of other buttons would be a great thing to have. In order to close the applications in the switcher screen, a double tap versus single tap seems the most elegant option.

What ist meant by Alt+Tab? Is it a reference to one of the Cabs that allows an "alt" key (I seem to remember reading about such a cab). I am not familiar with this. How would this work?

The Switcher app is really nice. I tried using Showcase but it was too buggy on my HD2 and made it unstable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
It's a reference to "alt+tab" in a Windows (on your PC). When you press alt + tab in windows, you can switch between running programs. Right? It's the same concept just by holding the Call key on your HD2. When you do that, a small windows shows up with icons of all the programs (taks) running in the background. Check it out...

Showcase is very laggy and non-resposnsive and sometimes it makes the system freeze. But this little file (.cab file) is very smal and very fast.

installed alt+tab cab, now with longpress of send key i get error "The file Rotatescreen cannot be opened. Either is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its componnents cannot be found"...its trying to load rotatescreen.exe. Where i can find it and where to put it? Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lutanica:
I don't think that error has anything to do with the "alt+tab" .cab file. Just to be be sure: if you had the other "Longpress Comm Manager" .cab file installed when you installed the "alt+tab" .cab file, then you will get some problem. But, the again, the problem you are experiencing doesn't have anything to do with "alt+tab" file. Try uninstalling and reinstalling again (and a restart of cource). If it doesn't work, try a hard-reset.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
I am using the slider, calendar and clock transparency cabs but am missing transparency cabs for the top and bottom bars (taskbar and softkey bar).

So far I have been using this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=601369&page=10

But the issue I have with this solution is you need to install a new cab for each new wallpaper, so wallpaper changers don't work once the "full screen wallpaper" design is enabled. You also need to find/create full screen-compliant wallpapers and can't use the regular wallpapers.

I am looking for a way to achieve top and bottom bar transparency without using that tweak. The start menu uses an aero design instead of the sense black bars, and the wallpapers range from bottom to top, so I am thinking this should be possible also in HTC sense?

Do you think it is implementable? Is anyone (tboy?) already working on this?

Does anyone have another solution?

I really want the floating design + wallpaper changer (1 wallpaper for nightly hours and 1 for daily hours).

The floating design imho is the coolest one:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] puremind:
Also, notice how the calendar text is also completely gone on the screenshot above. Does this not give you an idea?

Yes I mean 2 rows of icons instead of 1 (with the first row disappearing when scrolling down)!

Anyone else thinks this would be useful?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
i just released a new transparent cab for calendar background on home tab witch still has the text, and no i can't find a way to make it show more appointments.

and for the top and bottom curtians, the only way to make em transparent is HDwall, and you can resize ALL backgrounds to fit the whole screen.

Do you know how to lose extra initial weather animation?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
it don't add nothing to start menu. . all it does is to assign (hold the send key for3 seconds) send key to showcase... so HOLD SEND KEY FOR 3 SECONDS...

if lockscreen crashes or anything else, it must be something else you installed, cause showcase is only an exe. ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rovex:
Its known the lockscreen is very unstable on the HD2, almost anything can crash it, especially programs that load at start-up. When the lockscreen goes down it also messes up other things. For example the phone keypad method for text entry will only allow numbers to be entered, no letters at all can be entered whatever you do until you re-lock and unlock the screen again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
yes, press start button the at the bottom press lock, then unlock the phone, then it should work normal again, and PSSSS..... my cab does not load anything before you hold the send key for 3 sec.... :D

Problem with Launchpad (which I am currently using) is that it only focuses on the built in start button on top taskbar, so you have to use another program Ameba to focus it on the Sense 2.x Start button which makes it a bit slower.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] smaberg:
it works perfect, is your rom operator specific? that can make difference, otherwise install, softreset and its gone...

ps. it dont work with new tmobile rom or based on tmobile like the ones whos running manila 1922..... (rom 2.0x) cooked, they will need new cabs cause the manila version differs..

Swedish keyboard with åäö

Hi smaberg!

Good job with all the cabs. Really makes it a lot easier for new users to get to know their Leo. One question.

I downloaded the cabs for "smaberg SWE hardware keyboard.cab" and "Touch X swe software keyboard.cab"

And after installning them, and rebooting I still dont get a swedish keyboard when typing for instance an SMS. Still the same old keyboard without ÅÄÖ.

Shouldnt these cab files install a swedish keyboard? Or am I just plan stupid. My last alternative is to install FingerKeyboard :(

Plz reply!

Thanks for your awesome work!

Best regards Ibbe

dear newbie, after installing the swe keyboard from THIS thread, not hardware, cause its for the X1...

s after instaling, softreset, press the arrow up that is precisely next to keyboard symbol (middle bottom) then press language, select swedish...

then when typing holding a brings up å or ä and holding o brings up ö, the thing my cab does is to install a swedish dictionary and T9.
