I was just wondering if someone could tell me where the icons to all the applications are placed.

Some icons are bad, and some are most likely not made for HD2, so I want to change them.

And therefore I ask if this is possible, and if there exists an icon file.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] NSider:
You can use CSMI to change the icons one by one.

Or better still, you can just install this wonderful cab by DINIK to instantly replace 100 icons with these (highly recommended!):

is there away of changing icons without csmi .i have icons i would like to use but cant get csmi to work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ET:
Maybe you could try JWMD Icon Changer, it's on xda, do a search and you will find it.

Icons are in Windows/Startmenu/programs.

hi there,

i am not sure but i think, all icon images are placed in windows folder you will have to find which one want to change. then you can replace it with your favourite one,

cheers

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Braakie:
You can change them with a registry edittor:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\ xxx.lnk]

"Icon"="\\Windows\\yyy.png"

where xxx.lnk = the Start Menu link

and yyy.png = the icon you want to use

After that, clean the cache:

Is there some software that will automatically set the volume down when I plug in a headset then raise it back up when I unplug the headset.

An icon appears on the screen designating that I am using a headset, I wouldnt think it would be that hard for the volume to remember its setting.

[Nexus One General] slimm13:
It has been accurate for me. You just have to speak clearly.
[Nexus One General] Over Achiever:
I'm surprised at it's accuracy, I dictated an e-mail (about 3 paragraphs long) and I only had issues with 3 of the words. That was downright amazing (I tend to be quiet and mumble when I speak). I'm from Minnesota if that makes any difference (accent wise).

It started out as a fun feature, but now I'm starting to buy into it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Areyo:
Well, today in chemistry my friend took out his iphone and I started using it. The scrolling on that phone is amazing. Everything was incredibly smooth like the home screen, browser, and music lists.

I'm curious as to why the G1 is very jerky when scrolling stuff. Is it because the G1 doesn't have a GPU or something like that? If it is possible for the hardware, will there be an update that makes it smooth?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
It also depends on the rom but since you asked here are G1 specs & Iphone

My G1 is super smooth and rooted w/ king's espresso:)

Iphone:

OS=iPhone OS (based on Mac OS)

CPU/Gpu=ARM Cortex A8 600 MHz, PowerVR SGX graphics

Ram=256MB Ram

Legacy:

OS=Andro of course:)

Ram=192MB :( (Andro takes up 150~ i think)

CPU=MSM 7201A @528 MAX but unrooted are @384/

GPU=HW accelerated w/ 3D Oh and uses the 2nd core of the CPU

But you gotta remem that iphones cant Multi-task and has only 1 app open at a time, i have a Ipod touch and its fast, i used the 3GS and thats fast too. But i can never leave android b/c of what it can do.You might also want to know that a better gpu doesnt translate to faster scrolling either.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Areyo:
I have the newest cyanogen mod, and I'm not saying the iPhone is faster than the G1, I'm saying that it is smoother.

For example(not real numbers):

The g1's ui runs at 15 fps and the iphone's runs at 45 fps.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
You should try Super D its faster than cyan's rom, but its based off of cyan&dwang. You could always try enom's rom too, he has a bunch of extras that can be accessed from terminal.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Areyo:
k ill try some later
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bronco:
For Sure try Super D rom. its by far the fastest and smoothest rom in my opinion.

HTC designed Sense, and it's popular..but one question that has been on my mind for a while is, why haven't we designed something of our own yet? We hack,mod, and theme Android and Sense, but wouldn't it be cool if somebody just built a whole new UI? What kind of manpower would that take to do?
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
A full custom UI is probably pretty complicated to create and requires not only knowledge of the code but also graphics and design skills.
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
We have some talented dev's on the Android theme I figured we would have seen it by now.
[Nexus One General] Ssantos6981:
I don't think the devs want to spend soooo much time and effort for something they won't be properly compensated for...
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
most devs either excel at coding and therefore create apps and ROMs, or they excel at graphics and therefore create custom themes and such.
[Nexus One General] seraph1024:
:) I have a side project that I am trying out something on. That's about it for now. But it's not something you, SystmDcln, would like though. Current time frame is for Q1 of this year but that does not belong in this forum or this section of the forum.

With that said, I am going to say the following things and they are in no particular order.

1. Making a UI require both programing, understanding of the system and graphics.

2. Building an UI also require time. Time = money etc... you see where this is going...

3. People spend hours making UI and only half of people will like what they did. The other half will dislike it and why waste time for no reason.

4. HTC BOUGHT out a UI making company a few years back and they paid in the millions for that. Why? To make sense UI.

5. A good UI is hard to come by. I prefer clean and in 3 colors; black, white and gray. HTC likes colorful stuff (look at sense ui).

There will be more.... I'll come back...

Dude, its still way new. You say look at the linux com., yah and look how long they been around...

There ARE some very talented people in here, give them credit for what they HAVE done, its amazing already, and they didnt get paid by google like these current engineers have been. Move to another OS (or older phone aka g1) for more options.

Down the road im sure there will be mannny awesome things to come about. But relax for now.
[Nexus One General] SystmDcln:
I'm not referring specifically to Nexus One but more or less Android as a whole. And I do give credit to people like Cyanogen etc who have done some really neat things.
[Nexus One General] melterx12:
all those distro's are backed by a whole organized team of devs. Most devs you find here either work completley alone, or simply communicate with other devs for help and advice. They usually do not for an organized team for development.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mietekxxx:
Hi *.

Two days ago I've installed HSPL and flashed with Dutty's ROM 0.3a. During installation of programs, I've noticed extreme battery usage. 1% every one minute or less! It was almost impossible to fully charge phone.

CPU usage was at minimum level, 0% for most of the time. So I did hard reset but even clean ROM act the same. Today I've tried two other ROMs: Miri's v2.0 [Sense 2.5] and Artemis' v2.1 - same thing.

Quick decision - back to official ROM [1.48 WWE]. It helped. Now 1% of battery, with screen turned on, lasts for about 10 minutes.

Any idea what might causing this? I don't want to be stuck with official ROMs :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kangu:
Possible the radio.

If I remember correctly, Dutty's rom comes bundled with the radio 2.06. So you might want to try flashing another radio from here:

I'm pretty sure that's the culprit. Good luck man.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mietekxxx:
Didn't help. I've flashed Dutty's ROM again, than Radio 2.05.51.05_2 from 1.48. Battery drops 1% every 2 minutes (3G without data connection).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dXsL:
had the same with that ROM, using radio 2.06.

could't find why. definitely not all cooked ROMs are battery eaters. there are several, but 2 i remember that are nice for your battery are energyrom and of course miri's

try one of those and report back if it's better :)

I have XannyTechs ROM on my HD2 and I think the battery life is very good, even better than when I had stock ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] pspbirte:
I have been using Dutty's ROMs since his first release... No battery problems whatsoever.. Actually i have seen an increase in battery-time compared to the stock 1.48... Remember to flash a stock ROM in between your cooked ROM flashes... It keeps the device clean from unused and unnecessary garbage.. More over i also hardreset after each flash... I have seen no problems with this procedure.... :)

BTW. I have the 2.06 radio... No battery problems :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] kangu:
You cant just flash one radio then give up. You should try all of them, give each radio a couple days to see its performance.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] miri:
Correct, plus you have to do some charge/discharge cycles for your battery to better adapt with your newly flashed ROM.

After flashing a custom ROM, don't remove it immediately but do a full charge, let it discharge let's say till 10% then do it again, and also when fully charging let the phone for at least 10-12 hrs in charge although the light has become green.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] makeveral:
if the battery drains are huge and strange, use mtty.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Duffmyver:
Im running Dutty's original ROM and its improved my battery life greatly. It shuts down the WIFI etc when the sceen is blanked out and instead of draining battery 30-40%, my battery drains about 8-9% over a 10 hour period. (Without bluetooth enabled)

I have nothing but praise for the ROM i am running atm my phone is better than out the box by factor 10.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mietekxxx:
It's quite hard to give each radio couple of days. Phone lasts less than two hours without charging. Became kinda stationary. I've tried all radios (with Dutty's ROM) with 1 batery cycle for each, same thing.

Yesterday I've again flashed original 1.48 and then ROM which doesn't update Radio - Artemis ver 2.3, and... still the same story :/ So looks like it's not radio-related problem. Maybe something with HSPL? Could it be a reason?

I don't get it, what changing ROM has to do with forming battery - something you do after buying a phone? Mine HD2 is 2 months old. Nevertheless since yesterday, after flashing Artemis' ROM, phone was fully charged, discharged during night and plugged again at the morning. Didn't help.

Another thing is, where this energy goes to? Doesn't look like radio problem, CPU stays with minimum usage.

I've looked into thread about MTTY and honestly don't understand it. What is MTTY and what should I do with it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xardus:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mietekxxx:
I've done some test. Because HSPL was always present in flashing non-official ROMs, I tried SSPL and two ROMs - Laurentius26 v2 and Dutty's v0.3a. Each time flashing official 1.48 before, to restore proper battery usage. Same thing :/ Seconds after new ROMs were booted battery started to drop immediately.

So it's not related to SSPL/HSPL. There must be something inside all those ROMs [Dutty's, Laurentius26, Artemis', Miri's] what's causing problem. But what? Any ideas? Please.

p.s.

Dutty's ROM (with HSPL) was in phone for almost 48h, nothing changed in battery life during this time.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mietekxxx:
Following makeveral's advice, I've tried MTTY. Quick 1.48 flash to clear everything, next HSPL, than MMTY and finally Artemis' ROM v2.5 from SD card. And guess what, same sh*t :mad: Battery drops 1% every 2 minutes or less, CPU usage around 0%.

dutch64; the Topix ROM has no reader and documents tab (my problem) so is great. All the 6.5.5 are more finger friendly (but with reader and documents tab) than the 6.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] peterkef:
I do find this problem still very strange and confusing.

I'm using Laurentius L26 V2.0 and I have great battery life. I use reader and document tab a lot in combination with a 16 GB SD.

My problem with the battery drain was a faulty MP3.

After removing this my problem was gone.

I would recommend to delete the data folder on the SD card from time to time.

when indexing your documents it the HD write data files to this folder but never deletes them. They are getting bigger and bigger and I believe this could also case the battery drain.

So I believe it is not really ROM specific or document/reader tab yes or no but it is more the matter what kind of data is present on your SD.

With heavy use I get now easely 14 hours out of my battery and after this a 25% left.

Weather, facebook automatic update. Push email on. 1 hour of internet and many calls. I think this is very acceptable.
