Awesome rom
Stable and all included
Nice work

I cannot unlock Ext flash with this rom, it was accesable on Dutty's rom

Hi Chamelion any possibility to put a link for this rom, in another friendly site like megaupload, I also don't like rapidshare at all. Thanks

So far great ROM..
Thanks for not including cyberon vc it makes it much easier to get ms vc going.

Everything else seems to work just fine, but voice dialling ain't working (Error opening the short cut). This same happened with lvsw's version (and with Black 3.0).
How do I fix this?
[edit]
Never mind, just installed Cyberion Voice Dialer.cab

got an even friendlier site called zimuhost.getmyip.com
there's a high speed HTTP mirror posted in the forum that the original posters link links to. i'm anti rapidshare, hence me starting up the file hosting thing!

I found another problem, that I never had before When I change anything via control panel Today, then nothing really happend, only after SR.This is odd, because if I want to use SPB products, then I must SR device each time, I make any changes. Till now I did not read or search on forum about this problem (or if somebody actually have same problem as I), I going to flash device again only if problem did not dissapear, then I start looking for answers.
PS: with original LVSW last version this problem was not.
/update\
now I find some posts about this prob here till now, no sollution.

For those of you who want ms vc over headset.
Its probably best to not have the headset paired so unpair it and just add it after all the steps.
1.) Install MS VC 1.6
2.) Install attached .cab
3.) In programs launch BT Voice Command Config
4.) Check enable
5.) Click save
6.) Click Exit
7.) Turn off phone
8.) Turn on phone
9.) Pair bt headset
I take no credit for this program it was done by XCSdM and later modified by ZaJules..
This works perfect for me no other tricks or reg edits zilch, nada, nothing. You might want to set voice command to button 5 though.

Is the x-button works like it should with elf version? I mean does the exclusive click working & what build is in this ROM version? thanks in advance

today not refreshing only after SR
For those who have problem with Today settings, this is reply and solution from LegolasTheElf copied from his forum - thank you
"It's looking like that today screen issue is caused by the X-Button. To remove it, go to the Remove Programs settings applet and remove it. Because of the way this ROM is built, you can remove my additions I'm actually going to be building my ROM's in a different way than anyone else--by using mostly CABs to do the customization rather than imbedding into the ROM itself. IMHO, this is a better design as it allows people to customize their device, and reclaim storage space if they don't like the items I've included in the ROM "

That´s exactly what I´ve tried today and so far so good.... it´s a pity as I liked the new version of x button!! Maybe our great chefs can find a solution at some point...

Sorry. I have got a little problem.
Can I make the Windows Live Search bar for "Transparency" background from today screen?

u can't ..my way of doing it is to uninstall the apps, go to settings/remove programs ..and then install the one here http://rapidshare.com/files/32749891/WLM.rar.html
or another way, is to use sleuth developers variation of this LVSW ROM.. (it is pre-installed with the transparent windows live search bar)

Well, I WAS going to wait for a newer 1774x rom, but, given the fact that this ROM is working so well, I see no reason not to continue to use 17913 to cook my ROM..
So, hang tight for some new Elfishness in the coming days

iPhone CAB

For Those Who Wanted An iPhone ROM, Heres A CAB That Should Do Most Of What You Want.

Gooooood question!
I'd like to take look, just fer ****s & giggles ye know? don't wanna screw up my current install now. I'm in far too happy a place, ROM wise

Already tried it out...but it is useless for me...respons...like 3-5 sec after tapping a button...5mb less free RAM...this is too much for me..
Regards,
Primoz

All I can say is that the Dialer will not work correctly on 8252 with CIN 3.5.2. There are some alignment issues with numbers.
Also it's impossible to enter the settings for the skin and PHONE icon not linked correctly.
Best Regards

Why is this in the WM6 forum? Does the CAB only work on WM6?

It probably doesn't belong in this topic, but why don't we try and change that?
Would there be interest in making a WM6 ROM that looks and acts almost like an iPhone? I can see there being some disadvantages and no doubt a lot of people will miss the today screen, but there might be a few people interested none the less.
Maybe it would be better to keep it as an "iPhone CAB" with everything on it, so that users can try it and remove it quite easy?
What other programs would we need in the ROM do you think?
I'm thinking it would be good to try and embed Piscel Browser, or similar at least, so that you have the fancy finger scrolling on websites.
Maybe we could add the ringtones as well....

Why not ! Could be fun to try at least, providing performance didnt render it unusable.

@Pc78
To Deal With The Response Times, Select Settings And You Should Be At The Configurator App, You Can Change The Response Times With This App.
@.VIBE
It Should Uninstall Correctly, As That Option Was Selected With WinCE CAB Manager
@dusank
Strange The Phone Link Works Fine On My Phone, Maybe Try It Again After A Soft Reset.

Follow The Links That Are Posted In The First Post, For Information On How To Configure The Individual Apps.
Cheers

Does it include the filedialogchanger made by ??? which is posted with iConfig?
and could you write which versions of the apps in the .cab?
sorry, but im a little lazy atm so i havent downloaded it..

Problems with Dialer
This is my first post, can you put xelashiu WM6 version of the dialer in the cab file. because of the problems with key pad numbers lining up, otherwise great app Many Thanks
Oange SPVM3100
LVSW 3.30.2.1

GREAT CAB
Great cab, I was just looking forward to install a cab like these, but has only problem with the dialer, I hope can be fix. Thank you for the great work.

This CAB is very nice, but it was eaier to configure an iPhone theme using WAD with all the godies. Plus, you can put the icons wherever you want and add or delete them.
Unfortunately WAD is buggy and creates a soft reset from time to time. Other than that it's a nice app to play with!

I really like the start for this app... iContact is my favorite cause its a Stylusless UI. Now if everything else is ported it would be awesome!!! The dialer is a good start too but really needs work with simplifying it. It doesn't need to be that complicated and the look can be polished too. I'm willing to work on it with the developer if you need more of my feedback. I'm an interface designer by trade so please use me
I AM WILLING TO PAY IF SOMEONE WERE TO MAKE THE ENTIRE iPHONE OS AS A CAB OR WM6 REPLACEMENT!
Anyone else?

I'm a software developer with a fresh mind straight from Uni...so if anyone wants to team up let me know and I'd be happy to start on this project.

Slither I'm up for it!
I'll design the interfaces... You make them work!
Deal or No Deal?
Oh btw which direction would you like to go Cook our own ROM or CAB?

Deal
I like the CAB direction...btw I'm working full time so i'll dedicate time for the project mainly in the evenings and whenever I get time during work. PM me for design thoughts you have.
Cheers.

slither & and spidey
im excited to see what you guys will produce...

Sweeeeeettt!

New PointUI Home 1.02b released Feb 4

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but just wanted to let you know that a new version of PointUI Home was released Feb 4. Neat Home application. A few bug fixes make this extremely useful, and there is a black theme now! Not sure if I will keep it, but they've done a great jorb of replacing the Home screen.

Agree, it has become a valid substitute to HTC Home: lock screen and slide to unlock, close applications and weather. All that is needed is speeddial with photocontact.

can you uninstall the thing yet.....it was a pain to uninstall the last version & I couldn't change anything. Otherwise it worked really well.
Chris

seem to be much improved so far all my hardware button seem to work @ Chris, unfortunatley it still requires manual uninstallation...just using remove programs alone doesnt do the trik...still it only took me a couple minutes to install using winexplorer and manually deleting the reg entry

this apps is GREAT !!! but ..... freeze with Shadow TE WM 6.1
try to using with WM 6 only (for this time, i try to add with other ROM WM 6.1)

Modifications
Does anyone have explicit directions for how to modify the home screen email from outlook to a different account and how to map the phone icon to the dialpad? I read the Pointui forums and there were instructions but none seemed to work for everyone. I am using a Sprint Mogul and think that this is a fantastic application. When modifications become easier, I think tons of people will also try this.

There's a registry key you have to create...
Under HKLM/Software/Pointui/Pointui.Home/[version]/
Add a string under the [version] named "App.Email.Storename" and make the value of it the name of your mail. I modified mine to Gmail and it works fine.

Not Quite There
I'll be posting a long list to the PointUI forum, but this app isn't quite there yet for me. I like its interface better than HTC Home or the standard Today, but the way it is now it makes me less efficient and not more. Having to manually delete registry keys is also a pain.
A working uninstall is very important... especially with a beta. I know we're all "power users" here, and caveat emptor applies more to betas than final releases. But this to me is a pretty big oversight.

Uninstall not an issue for me...
I am running Schaps 4.3, and had the previous version of PointUI installed (1.01b). I saw the new version, uninstalled using the 'Remove Programs' link, and installed the new version. It is running just fine for me.

[CAB]/[OEM][New Manila Mods]All Programs Tab 4icons[V3.3][UPDATED]

LANDSCAPE WORKING
original method taken from Showaco
Ive spent quite a bit of time working on this now so i feel i can receive some credit for all of this work
Start Menu All Programs 4 iCONS (not working on programs page)
-[CAB]
v3.2
V3.3 - ONLY FOR LATEST MANILA 2.1.x
--------
-[OEM] -(copy file into manila directory in your kitchen)
V3.2

Does this only change the "All Programs" page or does it bring back the old style
start menu and bring back the programs tab?
Would it be possible to just create a cab that changes the "All Programs" section
to the 4 icons view instead of that massive long list that exists as of this moment.

i think the start menu need to be spaced out a bit more if anyones intrested ill keep updating

it should do both, thats what ive been trying to achieve if u want just the all programs to be boxes i should be able to do that for you

The "Start Menu" just looks too close and squashed and is it me or is it padded
to much from the left.
The "All Programs" screen looks fine though.
So would it be possible to only have "All Programs" and not the "Start Menu" mate?
Edit:
Just read your post, could you do that for me please. I like the new Start Menu Rhodium has and I prefer 3 applications per
row but definetely want to change the "All Programs" bit.
Navigating through a list is just too long. I don't understand what HTC were thinking LOL

yea it is , same thing i thought but it is a working example ill do you the all programs only now should be easy enough

Hi,
nice work. It looks nice.
Does it work on a original (Dutch) HD ROM? I cannot copy the manila file in my Windows folder: the folder is protected or the program is running.
Thanx. L.

i saved the original mannila file and everything back to the normal.

Would u please make another choice for us? I want to choose folder first, just like the old start program with other folders...

[Q] Is there some kickass Today screen?

Hey there
Could someone give a really good advice with link to themes for it so I can see...
I have tried so many plugins that my eyes are bloody already...
Maybe I just didn't find good combination of plugin/theme...please someone..
thank you.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502056&highlight=theme+concept
if you know how to use WAD2. I think it's very nice.

Kick-ass Today Screen!!!!!
Yes there is.....Try the SPB 3.0....it out shines HTC home page!!!!!
Try the 30 day trial and if your lucky, you may find a serial for it too!!!!!

You may want post what you've tried already so the suggestions that come through won't be plugins that you've already written off.
I'm currently in the process of testing SPB 3.0.1. Still not sure if I like it enough to replace TF3D as it doesn't allow total integration with my other apps...Resco contacts, sms chat.

I guess you are right.
For starters, I have installed SPB 3 and WM7 black skin..it is very good..not the best but good, I like it
So far I have tried:
×Throttle launch (not good, graphics were blurry, guess it is more for VGA , but could be OK for VGA device)
×PocketPlus (too much stuff, didnt like it)
×HTC Home (I dunno why, but I guess this plugin did something bad to my phone, it acted weirdly, although it provided informaton I wanted, I did a painful Hard Reset and after that everything was OK)
×SPB 2 (I used this for very long time, but I got bored from the graphics and I liked and hated Now screen at the same time )
×PointUI2 (this was freaking awesome, very smooth graphics, but I lack WVGA skins and applets, good skins were VGA only and I couldnt switch to my today screen, which I do sometimes to check how much have I called already)
×rlToday (this one could be great, but It was very small on my screen, I could hardly see the clock )
×this is all I remember what I have tried
Now I am using:
SPB 3
HomeScreen++ (I use this only as a Call Timer, but would like to use it wider, but dunno how , does someone have an advice how to get a MAX out of this prog?)
And I have Spb Wireless monitor and Spb Backup on my todayscreen.
Thats it. So I guess I have tried a lot, but still am not absolutely satisfied.
What I really wish for is something like Omnia today screen..Ow how I would like to drag and drop widgets...I know FEWidgets can do this but I dont like how it looks...
And what I would like to have mostly is somekind of desktop with Icons and stuff...ust like a normal PC....
Thx for replies guys.

how do you know which version is the right one?
are there any pics of the software in action somewhere?

Well it sounds like you've tried just about everything lol! You didn't mention Wisbar Advance Desktop I see. This is the closest thing I've found where you can have the look and feel of your desktop PC.
Check out Mallmans Vista Theme here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468153&highlight=Vista+Theme < Check out his site for more themes here > www.swampthing.net

Ow
You see, as I said I didn't remember
I tried WAD already, but again, some things are not to my liking.
I guess I am very demanding
thanks for your helps guys.
I guess I will stick with SPB 3 for some time.
Although Id like to make my own theme but dunno how.
I made a thread about this, hope someone will throw some letters in it
Thanks.
