I know that 4.1 is only just out & I think it's brilliant. I'm spending every evening checking new posts and playing with my phone like never before. So, before the 4.1 thread becomes the next thread with 1200 posts, I thought I'd start a new thread for ideas for 4.2
Tom - before I found the magic that is B&B I was using Wisbar Advance desktop and an application called innesoft address book which had a great feature that when someone called you, their photo was displayed full screen with their name (see thumbnails) rather than just the standard windows window.
Any chance you could devlelop something similar for 4.2 !!!
Cheers

Here is something that may hold you over, I am still trying to figure out how to use the caller id without the actual slide to unlock, bit here is something to tide you over, jsut a thought
Have a pretty much full screen keyboard for texting in landscape mode? The text appears at the top?
Is there a way we can assign a button to lock the phone rather than go thruogh the menu?
Cheers
Anybody knows if it is legal to include trial versions of apps in cooked rom?
Was thinking rom with included sktools, english dictionary of some kind, IM+, resco explorer, spb gprs monitor included on rom would save time and space. Apps included would be trial versions and ppl haveing bought them could just enter activation keys/serials, others could buy app if thy liked it.

This would be a waste of time and energy for most, these Roms are made to be efficient, the least amount of space used so that you as an individual can place your desired programs, once a rom is built there is no removing/uninstalling of any apps, hence the reason to not put trial versions into a rom, I use several of the above mentioned, but to "Bloat" a rom with them would be ineffecient. Best thing to do is install on your sd card, keep all your initial install cabs in one folder and use that as your rebuild folder. Cheers.

Is it not worth remembering that everyone has a different list of killer apps they MUST have on their device?
If Tom & Meschle etc added every app - the rom would only just fit on a 40gb hard disk!!!
To my mind - the idea is that the cooked roms are a basis onto which you install your own apps to make your own device work?
Constanlty asking for new apps to be added to a rom just complicates the issue. Or am I wrong?
something so i can remotly use my desktop via PPC
then im complete
automated network setup like in the O2 WM6 Premium 1.0 WWE rom
Extended timers & alarms application
I'd like to avoid installing SpbTime on each version
Great job!
OK, i agree, rom should be as slim as possible, but why the hell there is cube, psshutXP, PHM regedit/traylaunch, and office mobile on it then?
Could make an ultra lite wersion. (=
P.S. Dont get me wrong, i think 4.1 is great and it is a lot faster than O2. Just throwing around ideas about how to make it better.
with my original post, I was not really asking for a copy of the app, just would like a much bigger photo to pop up with caller id and liked the look of the inesoft one.
Tom - what do you think?
Just trying to make the ROM easier to use, more efficient.
B&B 4.1 is far better than original ROM from this point of view
TouchFlo for example helps to have everything we need with a single finger move..
Phone app is a lot more usable also.
Perhaps also the possibility to customize HTC Home by default, with more options (number of apps in the launcher, ..)
i don't think that is constructive to add as much apps, i can imagine, when it's released, everbody is shouting "this is not good" and "why did you use this app and not the other one"...and so one. I like it clear, not too much apps...but that's my opinion.
If i want it with all apps included then i start (to learn ) cooking my own ROM... IMHO i am very satisfied with the work that Tom is doing for us all. And 4.1 is just released. Enjoy it and let Tom make a break. He is hard working all the time!
Plugins for new version
Alarms extension (SpbTime style)
USB PenDrive emulator (WMstorage style)
Phone call recording (Audio Recorder style)
Thanks for B&B! Great job!
i have a great idea
Why dont we support Tom and all off his hard work and all the other wizards here, and stop complaining or asking for more.
like a bunch of kids in a sweet shop.
Improving File access
What I would like to see is the File Dialog Changer, I don't know who has heard of it but it is very good! Usually when you want to save files or open them in any application you get access to you My Documents folder. Only some smart apps like TCPMP and others have the option to access your entire pda.
File Dialog Changer changes the way you access your files in opening and saving them for every application, it's just 50 KB and you can activate / deactivate it in System Settings.

And about your wish I can only say that there is already Remote Desktop for WM6, I think I've downloaded it in the Wizard forum. Or use PocketVNC, that is the pda version for VNC. I am successfully using that with TightVNC on my computer. I just have to be in range of my WLAN and can turn on my computer by sending a wake on lan signal (not with vnc) and then access my computer through pocketvnc or access the files on my computer.

I think he had a point though. In the whole thread there is not one message of Tom Codon himself. Did you ask what he thinks? Maybe he has a few ideas of his own? After all, it will be his ROM...
Who says it will be B&B v4.2? Why not 4.3 or 5.0? If there will be another version let him take care of the numbers.
Anyone know something good, i want to be able to see it on the today screen or if not its ok too. As long as it shows me the time, date, and appointment. Something like i saw somewhere on this board, i've heard of facade but is there anything else?
link to the image -
if its not viewable this is the direct link: http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=40944433yu3.png
so something like that is good, any suggestions? Thanks, preferably something free.
I typically use the appointment program that comes with the phone. The stock one...
Anyways here ones I have used before...
eXtreme Agenda CLICK HERE THIS ONE IS AMAZING THOUGH YOU WILL LIKE IT...
One Agenda CLICK HERE THIS IS ANOTHER ONE I FOUND WHICH IS NOT BAD AT ALL...
See which one you like... Try both out and let me know which one you like...
@jdoggraz
You mean the stock one with 6.1 sliding panels??
Either way, does it show the TASKS on today screen? If not, how do u manage it?
I use Papyrus, but it doesnt have a today plugin
Original Poster, Facade is good, and if u can tweak it, u can show just what you need. I was a huge fan, until the sliding panels came along...
Cheers
Quick answer, you cant have that kind of plugin on 6.1
You only can on 6.0 or below
Yeah thought so too
Facade and other today screen plugin people might be cursing microsoft for bringing up such a panel thing..
That said, how come no one ever designed anything that can display tasks on a sliding panel...
Wishful thinking...

Works xpanel?
wait,im confused now...
is this free? i mean on that website it says that all those who purchase ver 2.x gets an upgrade for free...
since we got a freebie panel from sony,does that means this one free too?
unfortunately no.. i tried it and it asked me for serial.. btw this is not panels.. and i found a few times bug which conflicct with panels.. when you got it for a long time.. when you preass panels button, it hanged.. never happened before until i installed this..
I never had a problem with SPB and I am using it ever since it hit the market (2003). There are also new features and integration with other Spb Software House products. Amazingly accurate battery indicator. Real "Close" button instead of minimizing the application. I dont have to use the Start button to find applications and documents anymore.
All in all SPB never failed me.
It's not free of course. You can take the answer here: MOD EDIT: No it's not
Just enjoy!

Whats the difference between ARM an KG? I know ARM is the processor type (i think, im not as clever as alot of you ) but would that mean KG is another processor which isnt going to be compatible with X1?
It s a serial, warez and co.
Please don t post them in this forum.

The forum rules prohibit warez.
Consider this your warning.

Version 3 is amazing!!!
Hope SE will make a panel for it...
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i get it, KG = Keygen
it sucks,,i just upgraded to touch-it5 spb mobile shell is crap looking,,removed it
Panel Button dont work for me (everytime soft reset), no customisation on folders...
uninstalled and hope 4 panel version
does this also work in wm6.5?? did someone test it
I have the same problem with the panel button, though panel button worked once when i switched back to WinMo Today Screen, a bit inconvenient though. But at the same time im not using panels at the moment. Hard reset device yesterday and havent been bothered about panels.
I myself have tried many different skins and such and I really like the layout of this. I love the addition of the widget screen which is very customizable. Whether you like this or not will come down to your preferences and what you're used to. I'm used to this type of skin, so I love it. Others may not...but that's their choice.
Enough of that...Good job SPB on a great upgrade!!!!!
I have installed the SPB 3, which is the trial version, and it looks awesome, but, when i click the "X" Panel button my X1 just freezes and needs to push the soft reset button under the battery cover to reset it.
Is anybody else having this problem, or found out a way to sort it out?
Are SE making a panel version of this does anybody know?

my does not freeze, dont think this is a final release as i cant deselect the shell from the home menu.
also i would of thought that spb would of added panel support as they have with there weather and travel software.
ps. mine has not asked me for a serial code yet? where is the registration menu?
I also think its pre-release because their website hasnt been updated, and also just added facebook interoperability to it (a feature) which has slowed down the app...
left to right gesture swiping is not changing page, only up and down (from the pro business menu. works from the widget menu.
anyone else got this?
I see from the HTC website that a new ROM is available :
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=717&news_id=300
Has anyone got a download of this, as my TP2 is Vodafone branded!
Thanks
Cheers! Downloading just now! Will let you know how it goes!
Me Too!!
I'd love to get my hands on this too!! Mine is T-Mobile branded and the serial gets rejected.
EDIT: The new ROM has been posted here but you still can not download if you do not have a premium account with RapidShare.
Think there must be a lot of people downloading. Im crawling at 23kbps - normally get about 350. It's dropped a lot in the last half hour.
Liking it so far. Icons are updated, but homescreen isn't really changed. Weather affects the whole homescreen, so when going back to it, just now the whole screen is rainingv - quite nice. Settings menu is much better. When going into settings for the today screen, HTC Sense is listed, but the homescreen doesn't match that of the pictures of the Leo, with the contacts and favourites on the home screen.
Nice so far.
(There is a radio app)
Does it have manila 2.5 or 2.1?
I managed to download it on the rapidshare link.
I have the TMO US version, do you know if I will have problem with the keybord layout after installing it?
Anybody with the TMo version installed it yet?

Just installed the (non-branded) upgrade, and i can see there's no manila 2.5... It's just the 2.1version!!!!!!!!!
Personnaly, i don't get it, what can be the reason not to provide tp2 users with it... seriously, i think manila 2.1 has no use at all.
Well i just spent 2hours setting & sync-ing my phone right... for nothing
BTW be carefull with the "myphone" service: i've lost near 1/3rd of my text messages because of it
Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't upgrade to 2.5. Is anyone else having trouble using the facebook integration? I can use the facebook app fine, but cannot login to facebook to link contacts to their facebook. I get a Input error - connection failed.

WM 6.5 Update
Hi, my ROM version is 1.19.401.1 and apparently the update is not suitable for me. Can anyone explain/help me with this? I've already sent a message to HTC trough their web page but still no answer.
Many thanks in advance,
Already a sticky there in "ROM development".
Dave
Hi all,
please excuse the vagueness of this post.
I have just been given a tp2 as a replacement to my td2
My wife also has the tp2 which she got a year ago
the whole look of the phone (software ) is totally diferent
for instance the program page used to list a few progs (your choice) and then you had to hit all progs to get them up.
i am guessing that its a different rom or different version of sense?
also how do i change/edit/remove some programs from the list?
cheers guys
you'll need a registry editor to get the job done here, you can find that in the Theme's and apps section, i'll be back with a link, but you have to navigate to --
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
and where you see
EnableManilaStartMenu = 1
change the one to a zero and restart the phone, should work.
thanks for that
sorry to be thick but does that just enable me to move the prog icons or delete the progs as well
appreciate the help

You don't need to edit the registry to turn off Manila. This is easily done from the Today settings.

but i gat as far as
HKLM\Software\HTC\
but cant see enlarge menu
also on the today screen there is no mention of manilla jut htc sense
all i really want to do is lose all the stupid pre loaded progs

Different issues, my friend. Sense is the UI (aka Manila versions 2.1 and 2.5) you see when you start the phone. It is on by default, but you can turn it off in the Today setup and use the much less memory intensive standard Window Mobile screen. Go into the Today setup and turn off Sense by removing the check mark in the list and putting a check mark on Windows Default.
As for the bloatware that comes with the phone, anything on the ROM can not be removed except by flashing a new ROM. You can delete shortcuts from your start menu for programs you don't/won't use, but the programs will still be there. Do a search for Crud Scraper, a neat little tool that can 'remove' stuff from specific phone models (it worked great on my Tilt 2). Beyond that, read up as much as you can on modding your phone. This place is a great resource. Unfortunately, easy answers are hard to come by. You have to roll up your sleeves and get a little dirty.
