Installing this on my HD2 gets the old Task Manager back (with the same icon as the new one and no real way to tell them apart as default, but that's not a biggy).

As the tip says you have the option of enabling the X button to close apps rather than just minimize them. It's true that you can change the setting but it has no effect.

My ROM is latest o2 UK default (1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE), Manilla 2.5.19202525.0.

Hi all, i'm a noob to all this tweaking and have read a lot of posts on here to try and learn, my question is will the tweak cabs example "disable clock flip" work on stock roms ? cheers all
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
It will disable the clock flip in any ROM.

I don't know why more of the chefs don't start cooking it into their ROMs as default. It's one of the first things I do cos that clock flip annoys the hell out of me. :mad: :rolleyes:

EDIT:

You do know that the "disable clock flip" is not a cab. It's a zip with a .dll file inside that you have to extract and copy over the original in the Wondows directory. I tend to just keep a copy of the .dll file on my SD card, so every time I re-flash a ROM I can just copy it over the file in \Windows. If you use something like TotalCommander to copy it, you don't need to disable Sense but you will need to soft reset for it to take effect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonsmith709:
Many thanks for your Quick response, like i said new to all this. at the mo i have spb 3.5.3 trial but if i can tweak sense the i may have to revert. whats your thoughts ? which do you prefer ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
Sense does everything I need it to and I think it is great looking too. I don't see the point of putting another layer over the top of it. :p

If you're new to the HD2, give Sense a while and see if you get on with it. You could try some of the other ROMs out there. I can strongly suggest Miri's ROM (see my signature) He's always got the latest base build and is very quick to sort out any problems etc. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbaker76:
when you say soft reset does that mean just rebooting the phone?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
If you don't even know the difference between soft/hard resets, I would try and read a bit more before you go messing about. You don't want to go wiping your phone or mucking up the registry.

Read all the beginner threads carefully before doing anything too drastic ;)

Yes, a soft reset is just restarting the phone. You can get little apps to do at the press of a button, or long press the power key then Shut down or stick a pen in the little hole under the battery cover.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbaker76:
Wise words, but i'm just getting used to the terminology of this phone. After using Nokia for donkeys years a soft reset involves entering codes etc so i was just making sure.

Different wording for things on this phone as opposed to symbian eg, firmware & rom etc and what is cooking!!! i have some reading to do! :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
Well, when a base ROM is leaked from HTC or a carrier or wherever, some of the clever guys (chefs) take the ROM and pull it to pieces, then they add a bit of this, take a bit of that away and in the end they come up with a ROM that they like which is fast and stable and only contains the stuff they want. This is called cooking a ROM. They do this in a bit of software called a kitchen.

Jebus knows where it all came from but it all makes sense in a silly sort of way :D

Hey there is one tip more (or I didn't found on that thread) - how to lower keybord vibro strength :) Standart HD2 keybord is a little bit anoying - vibro too strong.

It is not set in the registry as for calculator and dialpad but in the xml file index.xml in Windows dir:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<SipMgr snd="tick.wav" vib_lvl="2">

....

default was 3

I uploaded file with value 2, I think that 1 would be too weak. Just unzip and copy it to windows. as I understand it works for all layouts (look inside the file).

Also there is easy way to swap the keys in the layouts and make national layouts - files (english)

0C09.xml, 0D09.xml (landscape/portrait) and images for the layouts (image names inside the xml's.)

Regarding Searching from the internet tab

As has been found by many people, the search box on the sense internet tab isn't always ideal. It defaults to google.com and then tries to identify your location from that.

It can be overridden (as it already is in the t mobile roms i have seen so far)

Find

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\

and create (if it isn't already there) the key

Internet.SearchUrl type = string

and put your prefered search engine url there.

You do need to pass the search string, using %s so you need to look up how your preffered engine works. Personally i use

http://google.co.uk/search?hl=en-GB&output=html&q=%s

This forces .co.uk, english, and (best of all for me) html view instead of mobile view whilst &q=%s passes the search string (to google anyway)

You can also edit what it says in the search box (default is 'internet search') by creating the key

Internet.SearchTitle type = string
