Hello everyone,
I have been experimenting with the WM 6.1 ROM's, like a lot of you, but I have not been completely satisfied with any yet. I am no developer or anything of that such.
This post is for those of you who just want to change your homescreen look and a few minor things, to get rid of that WM 6 look.
I have attached a few .CAB files as well as a black theme.
You will have to extract the HTC_New_default.tsk file to your WM devices "Windows" folder. It will then show up on your themes as HTC default.
These files may have been posted in another thread, but I am starting this thread just to be simple. Feel free to add your HTC .CAB's as well.

Here is a .CAB for the black dialpad.
nice dude!! simple enough
Awesome bro.
Nice Try. At least all those people with no satisfying result or are afraid of upgrading can take help from this work of yours to taste the new interface including the Home Screen Plug-in
Keep the good work up
One question. Is this extract for 3g dialor also make 2g dialor to 3g dialor assuming I have activated the 3g in Advance Configuration Tool
interesting idea for those that "arent happy" with 6.1 or cant get it to work.
You should re-title it though to "I cant believe its not 6.1"
I'm digging it. I also feel the same way... most 6.1 roms are fast right after install but after really using the phone for a week it turns into a turd pretty quick, especialy if you install a lot of apps.
Been using original HTC 6.0 WWE rom without issues for quite some time. I try about every new rom when they come out but I always go back to this one for reliability.
BTW: What com manager you using? Thanks!! GOOD WORK!
Here is the boot screen that I use. Makes it feel more like 6.1 Copy to windows folder on device. Overwrite the old one.
-Enjoy

you'd better make your own "welcome screen" so you can add your own touch in it as a part of the customization you do after flashing a new ROM but it case you like the pre defined ones, here is one from PDA-Corner that I also like.
I hope I'm not breaking the law od copyrights by posting this (please tell me if I do)

Ill create a link for them.

Hi all!
I have FLASHED my device like 3 times in one week. I am using Windows Mobile VI - BLACK EDITION v1.2 and I think that ROM is great in all aspects.
Now I stumbled upon this http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6155.html I know that this article has a link to the ROM upgrade but I was unable to confirm that pictures in the article = the ROM that they point too?
I really like the look of the cosmetics of this version. Is this ROM available here somewhere? The curved lines on the START button and black shiny effects are really nice. I want it!

Do I need an extended ROM that adds these nice cosmetic features? I try my best to research before asking. Thanks in advance!
None of that really has anything to do with the ROM it looks like Wisbar Advanced using a Vista skin or something which is a addon. I'm sure others probably recongize it but my guess would be Wisbar Advanced is what it is..
Ahhh if you read the topic you linked
Generally following applications tested and working: TomTom, Wisbar, Adobe Reader. Buetooth seems to work better - for example stereo Bluetooth headset R35 I-Clip now correctly pauses/plays.

He has Wisbar installed and like I said it looks like the Vista skin.
i would say that looks like a WAD skin to me... not a special rom, wad can be found @ http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/ and there are skins... good luck with it though.. i have tried it several times and always had problems, but other people seem to like it

Thanks guys! Now I can stop scratching my head over this issue.
All,
I can confirm that this is not the rom... These are third party applications.
Ilauncher
Wisebar Advance 2
Wisbar Advance Lite Skin
and a hour or so on the configuration...
D
Just FYI - they were referring to the XDA Live ROM in that post.
Stay away from Wisbar, nice looking but very very bugridden and not working nice on TyTns. Ilauncher is working ok as long as you don´t have a lot of shortcuts to apps on the mermorycard, with that it hangs sometimes waking up from standby
Yep, I was running that exact same theme with Wisbar v2 but it was predictably buggy on my phone as well. If you need a similiar app, as mentioned try Ilauncher instead.
I always had issues with WA/WAD on WM5. I thought I'd give it a try after i upgraded to a WM6 ROM, and WA has been running just fine. WAD still had issues, but I haven't found any themes that I really like anymore than a nice clean PocketBreeze interface.
Anyway, that's my anecdote. If you like the look of that screenshot, go get the trial and see if you can find the theme.
I've converted a PC screen saver I wrote to the HD. It should actually work on any device, though... It's called MobileWebbs, and it is a flowing design of lines that seem to curve around each other, although they are all actually straight. I've attached a zip file with the executable, the Formlib.dll and the Basic4PPC source code that makes it work. I've also included some screen shots, but I had to use a timer to get them, and it seems its difficult to get a snapshot of a design as it completes before the next one starts, but you can get the gist.
Notes:
1) To end the program, just tap the screen anywhere and it will stop.
2) If you use a program like Gyrator2 to auto change the orientation of the screen, don't change the orientation once MobileWebbs is running. This causes it to freak out. You can start MobileWebbs in any orientation you wish, just don't change it once it starts running.

Edit: 1/5/09 - Added cab file -- sorry everyone, the program that made the cab file didn't allow much flexability such as ability to install to storage card, or program icons, or even a proper program name, but it's still exciting to watch it do it's magic!!!
Nice Jessew! Does this mean you bought an HD?

YES IT DOES!!! I still have a polaris that I'll use for 3d tethering, since I live in the US, and 3g doesn't work on hd's. But yet, I have one, and really like it. A lot!!!
Hey, you should try my MobileWebbs.. it's mesmirizing! And everyone you show it to will be in awe. Just don't change the orientation, tho.. It doesn't like that. But you can start it any way you like, just don't change it once it's running.
Later friend...
Jesse
Will do. By the way, did you see my graphics improvement thread in Blackstone development thread? I'm trying to get a similar project running as we did with the P3D team, but for the Blackstone. B3D, lol.

No, I didn't notice. But I will. I'm shutting down for the day now. I have to drive 800 miles to get back home and will take a peek sunday night. I was actually quite impressed with the speed of the graphics thus far. Gyrator2 takes only a moment to redraw after re-orientating, and all in all, the device seems quite faster. I'll be waiting to see what you can improve
btw... if you get a sec, would you make a cab for MobileWebbs? That stuff seems to be second nature for you, and it'd take me an hour or two to get it figured out. Well, gotta run. Hope you're doing well
Jesse
I'll have a look once I get home. Good to see some Polaris users coming to the HD.
Sorry everyone, I forgot to upload the zip file. It's been uploaded in the first post
Thanx for MobileWebbs! Works great!
moved thread into applications
Hello all, as promised, but a bit late I admit, I've uploaded a .cab file for MobileWebbs in the first post. I hope everyone enjoys it, I get all kinds of oooh's and aaah's when I show it off on my HD
Cheers! --Jesse
Nicely done SomethingWicked, looks great on my HD! Thanks!
There is a leaked partial beta ROM of WM6.5 in the Blue Angel section. Can someone retrive it? Thanks in advance.

you have been warned
^ Thanks. Have added this to the first post.
Can it be ported safely to Diamond?

Tbh, it's very, very unlikely that it can be ported because it's QVGA first and foremost. However we might be able to extract elements. I hear the scrolling is supposed to be a big improvement amongst many other things.
Finally, I think it's only a matter of time before a VGA version surfaces .
Hope this answered your question.
its seems to be still a mix of 6.1 and 6.5. But none the less its still winmo 6.xxx....it can be done
Strange...this screenshot shows it on the Uni (VGA):

What other improvements do you know of?
anyone looked at the cab files that come with the rom?anything us diamond user could use? (proably not as its not vga but you never know)
Tried them, but no joy. There's 5, the only one I haven't tried is IE, since I didn't see much point.
Haven't noticed any changes to poutlook though. Anyone else?
to me it looks completly like a fake. the right device has completly wm6.1 style taskbar and has touchflo 3d manila background set. ??
but not running manila to huge fonts and so on.
1. its a veryvery very very early 6.5 built or completly fake as we are used from our chinese friends.
Would be inclined to believe a very early build, since the video on WMPoweruser shows the scrolling in action, and not even FTouchSL (a commercial software) has achieved that level of kinetic scrolling yet.
Could this be used on both platforms (GSM and CDMA)?

Read the first post. It is not currently on Diamond.
We can now dowload the new HTC Calculator, which is so great!!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485175
Do you think it would be possible to extract also the new HTC Calendar?

its a very light fast and original version(not branded in any way) that have that keyboard.
arturobandini Thank you!
I think only Dutty could help unfortunately....
For those who do not want to change the whole ROM, to have just the extracted cab for the Keyboard and the Calender would be so great....
Hope someone could help....
dialer - cab would also be nice!

I really second that, but even more important for me is to get the new dialer with landscape support as a separate cab. I need to use my phone in landscape, and therefor I had to disable the nice htc dialer and go back to the wm6 original one... but the new dialer supports landscape... correct?
regards jan
Shamelessly bumping this, so that minds greater than mine can be encouraged to get this done.
This is one of the only real problems left for me with my HD - a fugly calendar.
I am willing to pay in gratitude with the rich flavours of an irishman saying 'thanks a million'.
I agree!
But it will come when it comes...I'm sure that there are a few people working hard on this one already.
Meanwhilst, ThumbCal will have to do! =P
Me too want this so badly. I have tried Thumbcal but does not like it because it respond badly when I press my finger on it.
how did they 4got in HD
really w8ing for a the calender cab
Can somybody please upload the Calendar.cab for the Htc Touch HD. I tried 2 different versions on xda dev. but they both don't work because they work created for other devices, with another resolution.
Thanks in advance!
I too would'nt mind if someone could make a cab with the new calender.. would be so sweet
i am waiting for this .cab as well.
I would appreciate this as well
Many Thanks in advance
would be great!
Actually, I heard that the nice black calender on the capture is just a cover of the awful outlook one.
As soon as you use it, you can see the outlook interface back....
So better to use the last version of thumbcal 1.3.5. It is quite cool.
Hy all.
I and probably meni other users are not happy abaut task manager build in Windows Mobile. It's way to hidden!
Task list shoud be visible from home screen. This is the only way I can see what I have to do in comming days.
Sou I made user interface for this app.
It looks like this:

If enyone has the time and knolage, this could be big thing
wow...amazing work....have u made it?
I just put some Sense graphic's together and this came out.
Now we need some developer's to make the hard part, and that is modifying the Sens files.
I'm hoping Co0kieMonster could taka a look at this.
BUMP....Great idea!!!
looks awesome. I wonder how much of this is covered by ptasks.
A manila tab would definetly be awesome but not neccessary for me
I tried ptasks... and gave up, it was too slow for regular uses..
...maybe you give "mvcal" a try (www.portablepim.de)
hence the website is in german, the software will be english after installation. If you prefer german, you can switch to it in options->languages)
or you download directly from here
It cannot only manage the appointment, it also handles the tasks in a fingerfriendly manner and combines it with appointments.
Very interesting, this is the function that lacks to sense. it would be nice to share it ou explain how to made it.
thanks
bump!!! I like this!!
Marty
Really interested too.
Would love to have something like this.
Its an amazin idea..it mus be not so hard for the great Developers here on Xda..
Plz sum1 mak this possible..after making the Call History tabs this one is next!
bump bump bump
Look at here:

Not exactly a new tab, however for sure tasks integrated in Sense
yep, i'm using AHT already, it works..

Yep this is just the kind of thing which could be done using the same methods I've used. The whole concept is to remove the difficult sense side and provide a simple way to populate a tab.
If a developer is interested in doing the TodoUtil program (.net side) I can probably provide a shell of the Sense RSSTab which by design is supposed to be generic enough to be populated with any kind of list data.
There are still features I've not yet built into the Sense tab (long press selection, left-hand icon selection, notifications), but as I develop the RSSTab the idea is I can expand what it is able to do.
Even as it currently stands, I don't think there is much that would need to change to get a simple To-Do tab.
