I've just upgraded my TP2 to Windows Mobile 6.5,. I downloaded the official ROM from the HTC site.
This ROM has HTC Sense and I was just wanting to know how you get the quick links on the home screen. All the images and videos I've seen running 6.5 seem to have them but I can't find any options to do so.
Thanks
Sense 2.5
Hi skratchwiz
I think you've seen screenshots of Sense 2.5, which has the shortcuts on the today screen as well as clock and weather. Sense 2.5 is from the HTC Leo, and other newer HTC devices so you won't see it in a stock HTC ROM upgrade. You will need a cooked ROM to get Sense 2.5. One thing to note is that it doesn't natively support landscape like Sense 2.1.
Cheers

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the quick reply. I really like the look of the custom ROMs. Just reading up on how to flash my TP2.

No...That's the point (special feature) of Sense 2.5. You're going to have to flash a custom ROM with Sense 2.5 to have those quicklinks.
HTC would have to "add" those quicklinks feature to Sense 2.1, but that would make it Sense 2.5!

I heard the ark ROMs are pretty stock-ish and lite!
Yeah, I guess the custom ROMs can provide too much icing sometimes!
Not sure if I posted this in the proper place but here is the question.....

How do I customize HTC Sense in Windows 6.5 Phoenix 2 ROM?
This may be a simple question, but whenever I check off things other than HTC Sense when customizing the home screen, nothing shows up.
More specifically I want messaging and info on the today screen too, but the only thing that is there is HTC Sense Clock/weather. It is very stubborn, in which it disables anything other than itself to be shown in the today screen.
How do I fix this (Look at pictures for more info)
Pictures are in the order I took them, and not by the name/number of them.
Thanks

That's because Sense covers the windows Today screen. All the other widgets you select are hidden behind it. It's like watching a fullscreen movie and wondering why you can't see the clock widget on your desktop.
If you want to put more stuff on your Sense homescreen, use Max Manila.

There is a problem with that though because max manila only supports sense 2.5, while im using 2.1. 2.1 is also "better" for the xperia because sense 2.5 has 1GHz CPU's in mind, while xperia is half that speed I think. SO what do you mean by use max manila?
I'm sorry, I confused WM 6.5 with Manila 2.5.
I'm afraid you'll have to scour the Themes and the Dev and Hacking forums for tweaks for Manila 2.1. It usually involves editing the manila files themselves.

And there is a Sense 2.5 version for TP2, and thus for 528MHz CPU.
Yeah I switched to the leo builds, which have sense 2.5. Is this what your talking about Lokatho?

Yes, the feb 26 release has Sense 2.5 from Rhodium and not Leo. You can tell because it doesn't has the document, e-reader and footprints tab.
Im tired of not being abled to use my wiimote to play emulator games etc.
So im asking what in your opinion is the best Rom for the desire without Sense activated?
1+ for link to the latest version download
IMHO AdamG's OpenDesire 3.0.1 is the best right now until the official FROYO is released.
Cyanogen Mod 6 RC1.

Nope, as a matter of fact when you first install it, it says welcome to Nexus One! I've been using it since he uploaded it and it is awesome, blazing fast and you can OC.
I personally like the Defrost rom by Richardtrip. very fast and clean.
Is IMHO very good with launcherpro. I hear that the cyanogen is bundled with fantastic features, but I dont plan to change from DeFrost until a OCUV comes out for the 2.2 sense

Sounds pretty ****ing awsome .
As i havent rooted my phone before and you seem like a helping guy (no i know where the guide is, i dont need help with that) How does uppdating the root work? do i need to reflash the new image every time a new uppdate comes?
Just download rom manager from the market once you root and it has a feature to check for updates on the rom your using. Does eveything automatic, easy as pie
Try set rom. If I want to leave Sense i'll use it without thinking.
I think I´m gonna ditch Sense. I´m fed up with it´s stupid dialer, the contacts widget and the slopoke SMS app.
Plus it´s kind of laggy. The only thing I like is the weather widget.
Any weather widgets out there? Nice ones I mean.
Thanks
P.S. I quite like the OpenDesire one.
The prettiest weather widget is fancy widget, do a search on here for the APK as its not on the market. It's exactly like the sense one, and opendesire 301 is by far the most complete vanilla android in my opinion
OpenDesire 3.0.2 just went live!
I'm on 3.0.2 now, the best just got better

OpenDesire and DeFrost are the best ROMs Imo.
For the weather buy beautiful weather widget. It's more customizable and even prettier than HTC weather.

Are you using the "Beatiful Widgets"?
A lot of people are complaining about FC since the last update.
The best non-sense ROM is CyanogenMod 6.0.0 RC1 . It has so many functions that make the user experience so much better.
I thought OpenDesire was HTC Sense enabled?

There are two editions: one compiled from sources without sense and one with sense. Two separate threads here on xda.

Hi guys,
i looking for HTC Sense close to stock incl. app (calendar, dialer, messaging etc.) for Android 2.3 Gingerbread on HD2.
Exist? I found only some Themes, but i am confused about them. Can i get some recommendation which to select?
Thank´s for help
I don't think that exist yet. So your using an HD2?
Sent from my FRESH using XDA App
Yes i have now HD2 with pure Android 2.3. After come from WM 6.5 i missing User Interface HTC Sense. I really like Android 2.3 and i hate WM 6.5 for now but i looking for HTC Sence UI because i like it.

Well, if you're using gingerbread, you can always try LauncherPro Plus from the market. Its well worth the money and provides you with similar widgets used in Sense for roms that do not have Sense frameworks included. In other words, if you want the People, FriendStream, Calendar, etc. widgets to use, that is a great alternative since you cannot run Sense-based widgets/apps on AOSP-based ROMs. Hope that helps some for you
beautiful widgets app will give you a sense like clock and weather
Not to sound too rude or anything, but either I'm in the wrong board or the OP is. The HD2 has its own Android Development board. So, why would you be posting here in the Evo board? Everything that's been made for the HD2 is cooked a different way than they are for the Evo. We don't even have a Gingerbread rom with HTC Sense yet.
TL;DR: Next time, post in the right board, please and thanks. Evo != HD2
Hi guys don't Sopose if any one knows if it possible to use the HTC navigation on the new gingerbread release as I like the ginger bread Rom but I use the HTC navigation but its only available at the moment on sense 2. 1 so was wondering if able to port or get it to work on the new gingerbread release
Just grab a custom rom with Sense 2.1
+1. You know you'll have to buy it once the trial month expires? But turn-by-turn is much better than in google maps and voice guidance sounds much more natural.
Maple some of the 2.1 are little unstable or have sense 3.0 stuff I don't know any plain sense with HTC navigation
Hence thought if some one could port it to the new gingerbread releases as its very stable
Erklat Yh I no buddy the navigation is very good n price is only 19. 99 for UK for full subscription but I get sick off sense 3.0 lagging up the device
There are a lot of Sense roms that are pretty stable. Last time I used a sense rom it was fine. Anyway, I think the LeeDroid HD rom only has Sense 2.1.
Cheers buddy thanks wel. Don't matter know as my wife just rang me and told me she brought me a present lol new HTC sensation lol very nice

It has 3.0 add on pack. SGBS also has 2.1, I used that navigation for a few days with it and it works just fine.
I could only find sgbs light as that didn't have the navigation lol bit the light version worked a charm apart from navigation
