I've seen that Aurax is using a 2.14 base. Because of the different framework it can not work! Would be great if anybody can share com.htc.resources.apk and rosie.apk from Aurax, so I can include the files and upload a flashable zip for 2.14, too. These days I'll upload files for 2.29 framework, too!

thx and regards
[Desire Themes and Apps] ckpv5:
Hi... no hurry... waiting for your 2.29 framework :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Teppic24:
Any chance of versions in stock HTC green for those of us useless at editing the colours? :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
Yeah, of course! :)

I'll update some files soon and other colours, too! ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] UKseagull:
That would be better for me too, thanks. #
[Desire Themes and Apps] juansuandi:
waiting for 2.29 version :D , nice look
[Desire Themes and Apps] UKseagull:
Any sign of the Android Green version? :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
uploading... ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
ok, files are up!

You can choose the colour now and I've added files for the 2.29 framework!
[Desire Themes and Apps] UKseagull:
Thank you very much for the updated files. :)

I haven't flashed a theme/mod before, is it just a case of going into recovery, browsing for the zip and flashing?
[Desire Themes and Apps] UKseagull:
I should have looked for the answer before asking! :p

The launcher looks great, thanks again for the update. My lockscreen doesn't look quite like yours and the date is shown below the bar. I guess that's normal?

Overall, I'm very pleased. :D
[Desire Themes and Apps] ckpv5:
Thanks. Highly appreciated. :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] Pajorve:
Work is a very good man...

Really great job man...

The blue theme is my prefered...

Thanx a lot !

=]

:D
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
I'm using ubuntu font, so it looks a bit different!

I've attached the font to this post, just flash it in recovery.

Thx, cool that u like it! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] juansuandi:
any other way to get mt4g square icons? thats really look great!!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
which icons exactly do you mean?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sow:
can you do a version for RCmixHD v0.14, please, good work
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sturmtief:
You can use the safari hd theme on rcmix and you'll have this launcher! You can find several themes in the desire hd forum! You only have to install the apk and you can choose the new skin!
[Desire Themes and Apps] juansuandi:
the square aqua icons.. its look great.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Madeli:
This theme looks great! Found one thing missing though... when choosing htc widgets there's a missing block at the left.... under the arrow. Can it be fixed? I'm using the 2.29 green version. Thanx :)

EDIT: Never mind.... i reinstalled and now its there! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] NinjaSiam:
working flawlessly on leedroid 2.3b...
[Desire Themes and Apps] rraaka:
Hi ,

Can I flash the 2.29 green zip from recovery ? Im running Leedroid 2.3b and also have eskdroid v 1.6 with power controls. Do I need to wipe dalvik cache before flash ?

i cannot download the blue one.....i get a zip of 0 mb !!
[Desire Themes and Apps] processchip:
When I download the green 2.29 flashable zip I get a .bin file???. I'm at work and using my Desire for the download as works PC wont let me access the download site. Am I doing something wrong or is it a .bin file and not a zip file?? :confused:

Downloaded it from home and all working OK.
[Desire Themes and Apps] adbirdie:
How do you revert this if you wanted to?

And the 2.09 zip link is dead
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kookitza:
All links r Dead :\
[Desire Themes and Apps] Matty Matt:
Suggestion

Could I suggest something? i love the launcher but the lockscreen looks a bit "off". Do you think you could ask BrightSilence if you can use his lockscreen with this? Great port btw!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Teppic24:
I have exactly the same "issue" with the lockscreen as you, with the time sitting on the bottom of the bar rather than being in the middle of it.

Also the links for the 2.09 Blue, 2.10 Green and 2.29 Blue are dead. Any chance of re-uploading?
[Desire Themes and Apps] CitizenLee:
This is awesome!

Anyone up for porting it to Desire HD?

I tried something similar myself but it I was way out of my depth... not quite as easy as changing notification icons!
[Desire Themes and Apps] d1n0x:
Link to Blue Launcher is dead :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] madsurfer1:
the 2.10 green base links are dead
[Desire Themes and Apps] Droidxda:
Hello,

Any mirror somewhere ?
[Wildfire General] lemming999:
I have rooted my locked and branded Wildfire and am about to install the following stock ROM from shipped-ROMS:

RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe

Before I proceed I wanted to be clear on the outcome of this install.

If I install this ROM will I lose root and, if so, should I be able to re-root it with Unrevoked?

When froyo comes out will I get the over the air update from HTC or will I still have to wait for the update from my provider? (or will I have to install upgrades by some other means from now on?)

Prior to installing the ROM I will note down the settings in Wireless & networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names. Is this all I need to get the phone and internet connectivity operational again after the upgrade?

What does the "signed" on the end of the name of the ROM mean?
[Wildfire General] lemming999:
Bump.......
[Wildfire General] Infinitum:
Yes.

Yes I think so.

As long as you stick to that ROM which seems to be the "original", you will get updates from HTC.

Not sure, but probably.

More or less, it's ready to be used :)
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
hey lemming, i sent you a pm yesterday lol
[Wildfire General] lemming999:
Thanks guys for your input.

To install an .exe RUU (as opposed to a zipped one) do I need to have the HTC app installed on Windows (or install special USB drivers) or do I simply plug in the phone and run the .exe ?.
[HD7 General] dotcompt:
About HD7 and WP7, quick review.

Positive HTC HD7:

. The device is awesome, fast, slim, the 4.3” high resolution screen is really epic and it feels really good when holding it in your hands. It makes you wanna have sex with it.

. The device materials quality is over my expectations

. Auto focus and dual LED flash working great

. Gsensor, proximity, and ambient light Sensor fast and reliable

Negative HTC HD7:

. Internal storage: 8 GB (Europe), I just hope we can upgrate it soon

. Battery drains a lot. it seems that battery manufacters are not keeping the pace. I recommend to disable all automatic updates and dont use 3G.

Positive Microsoft WP7:

. Really a clean OS fast and very responsive.

. The Hubs and animated tiles layout is very simple and fun to use.

. Social integration is a awesome feature and well worked by Microsoft (but it may be a little confusing for newbs.

. The boot sequence is the faster I ever seen.

Negative Microsoft WP7:

. Marketplace and Zune not available for all regions (you need to create a windows live account in a Region like UK for example).

. Lack of Customization

Bottom line:

WP7 is a kind of fresh air in the mobile world, a different approach with easy-to-use interface focused in integration of features and social network. Its fast, clean, intuitive, full of people-centric features with memory management like no other OS. Overall is has unbeatable perfomance.

Metro UI it is not just a app launcher, it has live tiles and not that sea of the same old and boring icons. The touch responsiveness is awesome and the short transitions between applications is the best experience I ever had.

The WP7 keyboard is clean , the mail experience is solid, IE9 is fast, the Office integration make WP7 impossible to ignore for serious business users, terrific Zune and Xbox Live integration with beautiful and useful user interface. All of these features are as simple and clean as the rest of the OS.

A kid can use it, a grown up can use it, a elderly can use it.

WP7 its still a work in progress and yes there is a lot of features missing but since it is just one year old, you can wait and live without it. The most important is that what we have now does not break, crash or lag. It works perfectly and smooth. Bottom line, you love it or you hate it.

In my case, I Love Windows Phone.

EDIT:

My Rate so far: 8.5/10

Thats all.

[HD7 General] manlisten:
Hm, have not had any issue with the hubs. Agree on battery life, it is pretty weak so far. I've done multiple drains as well.

I'm pretty torn on the HD7 myself. On the one hand it's probably the best-looking handheld device I've ever owned. Hardware is just excellent and feels great in the hand. But the more I look at the screen the more I realize how poor it is. Colors are very washed out. My 1st gen iPod touch has better brightness, contrast and saturation than this screen. HTC could have done better here.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Would you say the battery last longer same or shorter then HD2?
[HD7 General] MartyLK:
I find the HD7 to be the best looking of all the WP7 phones yet released. I love the black chrome surround and the silver mesh inserts at each end of the front face. I also found ou t those mesh inserts conduct sound from the rear speaker. That is a plus, rather than just being there for looks.I love the high quality kickstand also. The HD7 combines all the best elements of the HD2 and Evo in a much prettier package.

My HD7 works flawlessly...signal and fit and finish as well. The screen is unblemished and the display is colorful and bright. I love the chrome buttons and I especially love the dual level camera button.

WP7 is, to me, the best mobile OS ever released. It is superbly smooth, uncluttered and efficient. It lacks features right now but, similar to the iPhone's lack of features, WP7 will evolve into the most successful mobile OS ever produced...my opinion.

Taking into consideration the nature of the system and how it will evolve, I give WP7 a 9 out of 10. I have experienced some minor bugs. Otherwise I would give it a 10/10
[HD7 General] ceesheim:
I love my hd7 to , real good build quality and O2 German version has 16 GB in it :)
[HD7 General] nesher:
I hate sound quality in HD7. There is absolute no bass if you use the included headphones or buildin speaker. As far as I know there is also no other headphones that have compatible control. Also the mic should be at the level of mouth or a little lower, but not at the chest level.
[HD7 General] rysky007:
Yeah, the HD2 included head set also has the mouth piece way low, like they designed it for the indigenous people who stretch out their necks, never made sense to me on that one.
[HD7 General] empds:
Nice thread, I will wait for more comments before I buy mine.
[HD7 General] KraFT_mk:
MHO.

HD7 -> compared to other HTC devices ->

significant de-evolution.

HD7 -> compared to other devices same class ->

not possible.

WM7, "satisfactory" start with possibility to improve fast.

HD7, terrible hardware choice and cant improve anything.

4/10

[HD7 General] af974:
Thanks Dotcomp for the poll ,now thread is sticky....guys be nice,i'll check this thread and i won't see any flame around and in case post and quotes with flame will be deleted.

Thanks all for cooperation.
[HD7 General] alabij:
I rate it a 4/10. Pretty much subpar. I think there is a distinct difference between a fresh new look and quality.

For someone who is new to and Microsoft mobile OS dating back to the Offline pocket Pc's like me then this OS looks half baked.

For someone new to the MS OS then this OS is great with it's flashy graphics and smooth transitions. However there are just too many things that the girst Pocket Pc phone Edition had out the door that this OS lacks. Yes! I'm sure they'll be rectified down the line.

Now I need to make it clear before all the flaming kicks in; I definitely believe in the OS and it's future. There's a lot to come down the line. Heck! Great apps are coming out all the time. i just found FIM in the marketplace this morning.

However; as the saying goes. Call a spade a spade. Windows Phone 7 compared to Windows Mobile 3 or 2 or just plain PPC is subpar.
[HD7 General] newjaruz:
PROS:

Solid design on the hardware side.

Like the classy look of the hardware

The OS is very polished

Software keyboard works well and the screen size helps.

OS is snappy for anything native.

touch sensitivity is best I have ever seen. Most responsive OS i have ever used.

ZUNE /media capabilities and netflix are all a welcome +

CONS:

Very slow 3rd party apps.

Have to be reloaded every time they launch and takes for ever to just

check simple information like facebook or twitter or local movie times

no multi-tasking is sometimes bothersome as well as the omission of cut/copy/paste

Horrible browser who's acid test is only 5/100

no flash ( not really a deal breaker but just thought i would throw it out their)

no many apps available yet and when they are i think they dont work as optimized/or efficient as they should. (yes i know its early still)

on the hardware side the camera has a pink hue when i use the flash rendering the flash useless basically

cheap shiny metal material which was already chipping and i had only used the handset a week.

All in all I think MS did a great job redirecting the failing division they had

now i believe its time they bring the browser up to speed while adding a lot of industry standard features they need to catch up on. Great inial release and starting point for their revolution. I didnt think they had it in them. By next fall I expect them to be on par with most on the industry in terms of missing features and I think WP& is a great alternative to anything out their while bringing a totally different experience to the market with its unique minimal look. I am a die hard android fanboy but would not mind sticking it out with a WP7 device when 3rd party apps function properly. with that being said I give MS an A-
[HD7 General] PaullikesWINMO:
I like the phone and Microsoft.... but it needs to work just as good if not better than the iPhone 3GS that I had. I like that I can change the battery that is definately better than iPhone. And the microSD card is better too but it needs to be accessible as well. Not behind a cover and 10 screws. I know that is really for system memory, but then there should be a seperate slot for another SD card. I still like to take pictures or create/save documents and take the card and transfer to another computer or phone. Where is that SIM Manager too?? You had it before but now it's not a feature. And please please make the volume much much higher. Even the "speaker phone" volume is way too low.

All in all this phone and OS has lot's of potential. I like the "cloud" concept but as it stands today, my previous iPhone beats this handset. Please HTC and Microsoft... don't make me go back to Apple.... please ! :-)

Hi all, I tell them that I decided to change my htc htc hd2 and then my desire for the new hd7, I love the speed with which I access the most important things in fast, but I feel some omissions such as: When you dial keypad Phone numerical prediction can not find the contacts, I have no possibility of a browser like igo gps, garmin, etc. And as already mentioned missing file browser. If anyone knows how to put the prediction of contacts or a good gps software please send an email to this fledgling community in windows phone 7. :D
[HD7 General] agp64:
poor battery life.

poor screen.

poor camera.

great OS just needs a few more features.:) And I know they are coming.

Come on HTC I know you have better cameras and screens,What were you thinking?

Why not have a higher capacity battery as well?
[HD7 General] harsaphes:
After two weeks Im going to return my phone. I cant really pinpoint one thing why I dont like it, but I miss using Android. I know Ive gotten beat up about this before but If you have a cell phone number listed in the home field of the contact, they arent searchable in "Messaging" . I understand how everyone feels about that but my argument is the person is listed in the contacts so the information is there, but it wont even display the persons name when searched. Fixable but "to me" annoying. I also dont like that the tiles on the home screen are basically all the same color. For me It makes glancing at the screen difficult to quickly search the tile Im looking for.

Battery life is terrible and makes the phone unusable for media if you are also relying on it all day long for other stuff.

Volume is way to low.

Not having LED notifications for SMS and Email is just insane. All day long I have to turn the phone on and off to see if I missed something. Just stupid.

Its beautiful and runs great but there just isnt a reason to switch to it if you have used any other modern smartphone.

Just my two cents.
[HD7 General] manlisten:
The Marketplace really needs a dedicated app search area. As it is, you put in a search term for an app and it brings up music results as well. Sort of annoying searching for the Twitter app and having a bunch of mixtapes and singles mixed in with the apps.

Maybe it's there and I'm missing it?
[HD7 General] fnordelus:
I find this EXTREMELY ANNOYING too!!!!!
[HD7 General] LuRock:
One good thing I would like to add to the positives is the maps app. To me its the best Ive ever used.
[HD7 General] StyxJ:
Great OS especially with the mango update, the hardware is a bit lacking compared to newer phones, but luckily WP7 doesn't need ultra high specs.
[HD7 General] dotAlexX:
Lack of tethering.
[HD7 General] apollo15rover:
After 48 hours..

This pretty much sums up my own thoughts - I have had my HD7 for 48 hours now.

The marketplace was generating some errors I had to work through - a minor annoyance but not serious.

I love the way Zune software works as well - what a great way to connect! When I upgraded my Android to Gingerbread, I had to download some huge files for SDKs and drivers just to connect. Zune is much simpler. I am also blown away at how far ahead of iTunes the design is.

The only Android feature I am REALLY missing is the volume controls. I use my phone for an alarm clock. I liked being able to mute everything and blast the alarm even in "silent" mode. The single volume control is unpleasant; I did find a work around - pumping the phone up full volume right before I turn in to sleep - then put the phone into airplane mode so messages, emails and phone calls don't wake me. I guess I could turn off those alerts but at least airplane mode simplifies it a bit.

Everything said, the UI, smoothness, speed and functionality are phenomenal. Taken for all in all - like other friends that have made the switch, I don't think I'm going to look back!

PS: I was going to purchase Reallook protectors so bought the TMobile no-smear protectors as a temp solution. However, I am LOVING the matte effect this gives the screen. Nice change from the brilliant crystal sharp of the Samsung with clear protectors. Both are good I guess, but I'm enjoying the alternate look for now..
[HD7 General] blueboys25:
hi guys

i have a hd7 and i want to flash it and try put mango on it but im not sure on how to do it its t-mobile hd7 but im in oz

has anybody got any ideas plz cheers
[HD7 General] Over8ted:
The only real beef I have with the HD7S over the Focus is the fact that the screen has horrible ghosting. Even while scrolling the slightest, I can't read anything. I would've gotten myself another Focus if I had known about this issue. It drives my eyes insane.
[HD7 General] pdahav:
Complete Bs by Microsoft

Its a lemon operasting system there is nothing I like about it I hope MS goes out of Business..
[HD7 General] samson_420:
I still have to agree. I mean, it's so blah. No options for crap.

No "real" file transfer

No way to add backgrounds

No way to get rid of these retarded looking tiles

No easy way to swap ring tones

No way to change anything in the MMS/SMS APP

No useful Apps at all
[HD7 General] sbrownla:
That's not very helpful.

WP7 is definitely not a lemon operating system. It is very efficient for people who don't want to deal with the closed'ness and boredom of iOS, and who want an interesting media device with some smart capability with the option of a phone. It syncs my Google calendar/contacts/email with ease, has a beautiful interface, and is a break from the same old same old.

I switched because I wanted a 3D device, and because I didn't want to really keep waiting around for an official Mango release. When Mango does get released, a lot of the little issues that plague any new OS will be handled. Not all, but most. I also love the Zune player/market, and kept it to use as a PMP.
[HD7 General] menisck:
I like my HD7, however, lack many things in my language, Brazilian Portuguese. But my rating is 9!:cool:
[HD7 General] nu240sx:
love the phone but my only gripes are you cannot use a Bluetooth earpiece to watch movies, adobe flash and no custom ringtones.....
[HD7 General] anseio:
I bought a used HD2 for the sole purpose of trying out Mango w/o being required to change my data plan from my carrier (I'm on a legacy unlimited $20 data plan, woohoo!).

I fell in love with WP7. I love the UI and how intuitive it seems to be. The contact integration is great, too. Battery life, however, is horrendous. I tried all of the tricks and hacks. It just wasn't good enough. Upon switching to Android, battery life was amazingly better.

re: #12 from the post above. Custom Ringtones are not a "hack" in Mango and do work out of the box. All you need to do is make sure that the .mp3 is less than 39 seconds in length, smaller than 1MB in size and is the genre tag if Ringtones. When you add it to your Zune library and it syncs to the WP7 device the ringtones are loaded right into the sounds menu and cannot be accessed via the Zune player.
[HD7 General] bassam:
improving WP7

I totally agree with mictho100 comment ,

Microsoft marketing policy of (slowly but sourly ) dose not really match withe the supper fast improving with other OS's
[HD7 General] Loosenuts:
Pros; (verse Android only) Locked T-MOUS HD7

Fluid-like scrolling with zero screen rotation latency.

Rock-solid Keyboard; No lag with and without sound enabled.

No more force-closes, (been listening to slacker 7+ hours straight while texting, browsing, using GPS, purchasing illegal immigrants off eBay)

Battery-Life

Microsoft Office App

Built-in FM radio

UI looks more sophisticated with Tile system, gone are the days of icons IMO.

These are just what came to mind.
[HD7 General] adilaslam:
The biggest disadvantage of WP7 is the lack of apps. Other than that, we are perfectly fine, thank you very much :D
[HD7 General] luna_c666:
HATE. THIS. PHONE. HATE. THIS. OS. It. IS. DUMB!:mad:
[HD7 General] gagannitrate:
IMO

i haven't actually bought the phone yet, but i've used WP7 plenty and i freaking love it. lot of people say the HD7s got battery problems but a few custom roms seem to imply rectifying that issue.

The only real gripe i have with WP7 is that it only plays MP4s and WMVs. any home-cinefile knows the best way to organise your movies is to have them on a computer and the most common format for that is AVI. great compression with minimal quality loss. if WP7 could play that, that would be epic! i'm still surprised no one has made an app for it yet (as far as i know). do people not feel like that 4.3 inch screen is going to waste?
[HD7 General] jatienza930:
i had my htc hd7 since november last year and it is a refreshing change from android, IOS and symbian. the interface is clean and uncluttered. even with just a single core 1ghz snapdragon, phone operation is fast and efficient. no lags, freezes and no "take out the battery to restart my phone that is frozen" deal. overall, very satisfied with the phone and OS ^_^
[HD7 General] sincity7:
i do really like that phone, but one think i hate on it is the weight of hd7. it feels like a rock on my hands a lot of time. but it is very slim to have it on your pocket... surely i will not buy the bigger titan
