[Q] Which ROM? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey Everyone, I have spent about 3 hours looking here and ppcgeeks to finda ROM that suites what I am looking for.
So i am hoping that some of you out there can help me narrow things down a bit.
my phone is a TMO Touch Pro 2 GSM, unlocked. i currently have a NRGZ ROM installed.
So what I want is to run SPB mobile Shell. I want to be able to use it's SMS messaging features. I want it as quick as possible. I don't need many frills or bloat stuff (though I do like some of the pre-installed stuff on the NRGZ ROM)
I prefer the old top bar with the down arrow (upper right), connection and notification icons up there. (Mind you if there is a way to remove that then I SPB has those same features as well.
Pretty basic, but I can't seem to determine what the best ROM for this would be.
Thanks

Bump.. Please people I am so confused!
I understand that SPB Shell and ROM are different, but tonight after another 1.5 hours on this forum, I am more confused than ever.
Can I change the the theme for SPB Shell and will that over ride all the ROM themes?
Is there a plain vanilla ROM or a ROM that has only the most popular items (total Commander, safeinbox etc?)
Any help would be appreciated. The forums are just overwhelming and my searches aren't helping this cause.
Thanks!

Maybe what I don't like is the touch flo/sense interface.
I don't like the scrolling slider on the footer, or the reading pane step for SMS and email.
Maybe this is why I am leaning towards SPB shell?
Any thoughts on whether this is a ROM issue or is there something I can do to remove the Touch Flo/Sense and the HTC preview pages etc?
Thanks
Rob

Most of the ROMs found here in the forums are WM 6.5 ROMs with HTC Sense cooked and turned on by default. You can disable the HTC Sense completely by going to:
Start > Settings > Home > Items, and remove the check from the "HTC Sense" item.
When you tap OK, HTC Sense will be turned off, and you'll get an empty today screen. Now, you can install SPB Mobile Shell and customize it to your liking.
HTC Sense and SPB Mobile Shell are totally independent from each other, you can have them both on your device and switch between them as necessary. Also, SPB themes will only affect SPBMS and will have no effect on the overall theme of your device.
If you really don't need HTC Sense at all, you could try the Energy ROM called "Titanium" as it comes with only the bare minimum components of Windows Mobile, and is probably the lightest ROM around.
Personally I'd recommend you choose a light ROM with Sense included so you could get back to it whenever you feel bored of SPBMS. Simplicity, Jackos, and NRG Reference ROMs are all suitable candidates for the job.
Hope I answered your questions.
Cheers, and good luck.

Thank you for your help!
I managed to find a the ROM Repository thread and ended up downloading and flashing 6 or 7 of them. I finally settled on an NRG rom, simply because it had the SWYPE input method.
No I have SPB Shell on it and I really like it - almost perfect
Now is there a way I can Change the top bar icons to something more intuitive (IMO)? I saw a thread with a bunch of different themes for these but was unclear on how to install them.
Also, I was wondering how I can change the hard keys functions? I want the HOME hard key to take me back to the today (SPB Shell) screen instead of the program list.
Any ideas on how to do these things?
Thanks for your help!
Rob

You're welcome, I'm glad you found what you were looking for.
And yes, you can change the top bar icons (aka taskbar icons). Just download the appropriate cab file from the thread, and install it on the device memory, and soft-reset.
The hard keys are hard to change, but not impossible. I heard about a program that changes the hardware keyboard mappings, but I'm not sure if it changes the hard keys on the device. Search for something called "keyboard remapper" or "keyboard config".
Other members may shed more light on this...

Old start menu, old programs tab with 4 icons plus 4 icon program launcher!!

All right guys for those who want to have the old start menu back and want the old programs tab with 4 icons plus the 4 icon programs launcher then intsall the attached cabs (black or white font) which does it all for you, including the registry tweak to enable the old start menu, so enjoy;-)
P.S. currently in landscape mode it doesn't work so well so will try to fix this and post updated cabs here!
Full credit goes to showaco for the hack and Aussiebum for WVGA conversion!Many thanks guys! look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487192
I've just put everything in one easy install cab including registry tweak, tested on Dutty's v2.6 xtreme rom but can't see why it should not work on other rhodium based rom's with the new start menu!
N.B. this tweak is only for Rhodium based cooked roms with new start menu, so may or may not work with other based roms!!
Update 10/04/09: Added 3 Icons programs tabs cabs for those who prefer the standard 3 icons row programs tab rather then the 4 icons version!
Update 18/04/09: Looks like sgilesuk has beaten me to it with a version for those who prefer to keep the new start menu but would like to have 4 icons all programs launcher look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505400 nice work sgilesuk thanks
Hi gfreek, I just like to have the icons with titles in the PROGRAM tab. How can I do this?

If you mean just to have the icons with titles but without the tiles background for programs tab then the simple answer for the moment is NO sorry!!
Please bare with me as I've only just started looking into this hack and trust me it's not as simple as it looks! to do this hack one needs modify the actual value's and scripts within the manila files and that's very time consuming with a lot of trail and error!! so kudos goes to both showaco for the hack, it's his baby and aussiebum for the WVGA conversion!
I'm just trying get my head around this and do plan to do several other tweaks, lets see if I have ample time this easter weekend I'll try look into your request and see if it's possible!
Would love : only the 4 icons all program ...
I don't like the rest !
Hi,
I tried to fix this once before with showaco, but it didn't quite worked out. I'm surprised it's working for you, but my Touch HD seems to mess up the tiles...

ohh thats messed up!! what rom are you using? I know the cabs I've posted and tweaked here do work well with rhodium based roms with the new start menu.
I've got the same thing, all icons squashed up into the top 3rd and all bunched up
I'm using onkolog Lite Rom

thanks for share.I'm looking for it.
Hello, it is possible to disable the old start menu?
Which registry tweak is this?
Thank you!
I installed the black version. What a mess! All icons in three lines.... I don't know how many rows.
nice and is there a way to get rid of the home, people, calender, settings. thanks in advance.

If you are refering to the 4 locked icons (Home, Contacts, Calendar, Settings) in the programs menu then they can be unlocked with some registry settings:
e.g.
For the HOME button:
Change the following value
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Program Launcher\0\IsReadOnly\1 <--(DWORD Data, Dec)
from 1 to 0 to unlock.
The same apply to the other 3 locked buttons after that do soft reset for the changes to take effect
OKAY!!!
Great news!!! i sticked with dutty v2.1 because of the ****ty start menu.
Will flash this weekend to v2.6 again with your cab.
is it a possibility to have the new dutty start menu and this new programs tab working at the same time?
Thank you. I am trying.
Hey gfreek, when I initially flashed dutty's 2.6, I downloaded these cabs from that ROMs thread.
After installing, I encountered a problem whereby once you had scrolled to the program's tab, the soft key settings specific to the programs tab would stick i.e. not change when you went to another tab so if you went to the home tab, the soft keys would remain on 'All programs' and the other one (which I now can't remember off hand). The only way to fix was to soft reset and the problem would simply reoccur if you clicked on the programs tab
I also couldn't uninstall these cabs and had to perform a hard reset.
If you could sort out these issues, I will gladly revert back to the old start menu with your method.

Hi, I've got the same problem as Quad, on Dutty's 2.6 rom.
But thanks for what you're doing.

[DISCUSSION] Can we live without Manila/TouchFlo?

I've been toying with the idea of changing to a WM6.5 based ROM, either Miri's or Davideuck's, but I'm so happy with Dutty's Xtreme ROMs that it's going to be a wrench if I do. I love the functionality of TF3D but find it annoying that you have to have a 3rd party UI running on top of Windows just to get a reasonable-looking and easy-to-navigate interface.
The thing that bugs me is the whole Titanium vs Manila thing. Personally, I can't see the point in having both TF3D and the Titanium home screen installed on the phone at the same time.
The Titanium home screen is simple and elegant but links to standard naff-looking WinMo apps (calendar, photos) whilst TF3D has eye-candy aplenty and quite usable and functional manila apps built-in like the calendar, weather and contacts browser (especially in the newest, prettier versions). I'm aware that we can run certain HTC apps within Titanium (Calculator/Album/Camera/etc), but the experience then feels disjointed and not cohesive at all.
So my question (and point for discussion) is this: Can we ever envisage a time when HTC's (or whomever's) bolt-on UIs are not required? Will MS ever produce a UI that is pretty and easy to navigate? Or will we always have to rely on 3rd party apps just to make our phones usable without the need for a stylus?
I quite like the new titanium, don't miss manila at all. Using Miri's 7.2 standard.
I think it will be WM7 that should/will get rid of the stylus once and for all.
The new start menu is more aesthetically appealing, but i find it less functional than the new start menu in manila, my issues w/ the new start menu in manila, is that noone has made a background for all cabs for this version yet, and htc should really have included this by default, seems kind of dumb to me to have only wallpaper support for the home tab.
I've found that even though its monochromatic, i prefer tf3d v2 and its new notifications, context menu's and additional tabs on tf3d more than i prefer what MS has done w/ wm 6.5.
What i like about wm 6.5 is that it gives the visual impression that you have more screen real estate due to the transparent top & bottom bars, but sadly that's only on the start bar & today screens. I also like the new lock screen, and the icons throughout the system, smoother, better antialiasing.
I also miss the ability to select multiple files in file explorer, but i find that functionality has been gone for a while, once the kinetic scrolling was introduced, the ability to block select multiple files was lost. I know that other 3rd party file managers have the functionality built in, but you lose the visual cohesivehness with the operating system.
even though they take up the whole screen and are again monochromatic, i don't know why but i prefer the htc context menus to the wm 6.5 one's, i'm not sure if its the font type or size which could be part of it, but i think the wm 6.5 context menus looks less visually cohesive, even though it shares the theme of the OS.
I honestly am glad that HTC put out the tf3d v2, i wasn't particularly impressed by v1, and took it off the device as soon as i got it, resigned to have to deal w/ wm's ugliness, and millions of menu's, but i think v2 is a noble effort, they've certainly made me enjoy my Touch HD more. a
whole lot more.
Also prefer the HTC calculator, and HTC dialer to the stock MS one's. I'm just over the moon w/ tf3d v2, and i'm also running Miri's rom.

There is background for all tabs available. mun_rus works great for me and there is another cab available to have both the old start menu and programs tab.
Quite so, but the BG for all tabs doesn't extend to the new Start Menu.
Ive been using Onkolos light WM 6.5 since friday and love it. I havnt used Manila as I like the new Titanium but I have installed Yota contacts and dialer as I dont like the windows contacts and the dialer is faster.
Downside is they dont work in landscape mode but Im using changescreen at the moment to experiment getting windows to rotate but not dialer & contacts. I would prefer to use flip it but didnt know what to enter for windows rotation.
I prefer touch flo and the way htc have tried to hide the boring style of the windows interface. I love all the new htc menus, skins, finger friendly apps etc.
I tried 6.5 but after a while reverted back to manilla because in 6.5 it was still the old interface below. Only the home page and menus had changed. I also tried 6.5 with some htc updated replacement skins and apps but did not like the mix of two styles and preferred to have a consistant theme throughout.
Am using the new topaz manilla 2 - davideuck v5 and am very happy with it and sticking with it. Manilla all the way...

what you do is that you set the background wallpaper for the "today" screen as the same background wallpaper for your tabs, and it will be the same. An extra step, I know, but this also extends to your WM6.5 lock screen as well.

Having tried various flavors of it, I don't give a bean about Titanium (MS in general); I find it cumbersome. TouchFlo to me is simple and efficent enough. Now, if there is a Zune phone (with at least 120 gb), that will be the day.

manila unfortunately comes with a price.....major hi-jack of memory.
no a problem for me,remember we had pda's before manilla ...
Hi, I have bought pocketshield and found it doesn't work in all applications as manila is set as part of my start process. To make all apps work with pocketshield, am I safe removing manila - sorry to be dim but what is it giving me that touchflo doesn't..?
YES, PointUI
I have to say I'm in the Manila camp. Especially the latest versions of Manila from custom ROMs.
It's good looking, and functional.
And with each new version it goes deeper and deeper into hiding the ugly WinMo interface, which is a big plus for me. Also, I have to say that Manila has been surprisingly solid when it comes to speed and stability, especially for someone like me who's constantly digging around the _manila files and playing with them
The biggest minus for me personally is that HTC didn't take in account that people may want to change the colors and graphics, so visual customization is major PITA.

HastaSSSS
im not a fan of the titanium in 6.5 , i like manila better, but i like pointUI even better as the same for ms3 wich i use the most
I rather quite like touchflow as it give you all of the main features of a phone such as the touch HD without the need to run different apps (ie can view newest text messages without running the ms messaging app).
as for if MS will ever make a really nice UI, i think by winmo 7, MS will have to hav made a new UI (because of pressure from iphone OS) and then, as a major release, all the regular apps (windows media player, album etc) will also get a facelift, with the former already having been confirmed for a new release.
thats what i think anyway...

customizing user interface on touch pro 2

this is my first winmo phone so far
along its good features there are some bad ones
in comparison to other phones i used
its alot more complicated and dinasaur like user interface(at least for finger tapping)
i already lost my stylus which is gay... it caught onto something today and is now M.I.A. (only had it for 2 weeks)
the menus are way too small for normal finger and i dont have any nails.
i didnt nottice any major increases in the amount of tweaks besides registry editor. but that is acomplished by other means in many other phone OSes. like patches and editing the install files.
as far as actual user interface there are random one liners here and there.
for example: a pretty common guide you find in alot fo phone forums is how to create your own skin(theme) even software for it is available and beeing developed. not for WINmo.
you would think there would be much more flexibility in creating your own unique user interface. but as far as i know its opposite.
most of the skins are just wallpaper and color variations.
with same layout and menus.
now heres what i need help with
im using leaked TMO rom with 6.5
today window:
can i move the clock to the top bar?(im not that blind, the digit animations are cool for first few days...) i jsut want something simple.
can i make the weather tab more transparent?
can i get rid of call history and calendar buttons?
can i switch the camera and all people soft buttons?
can i make the shortcuts like they are on blackberry phone so it will show selected shortcuts wen i press one button without scrolling?( one of the cooked roms had something similar where shortcuts were under calendar scroll up)
then.
how can i arrange the start menu in windows style but with medium sized icons i hate scrolling thru a long list of programs.
is there a setting to go straight to INBOX and ALL messages? because the preview is very annoying. i still have to press a button to view. theres no purpose for it besides being cool at first.
thats it for now
forgot one more thins
how can i select an item without activating the link?
in other words "mouse-over" since theres no cursor when i tap it automatically selects and opens the item. i fkn hate that. when you try to select something in order to go to menu and it activates the item so i have to close it and start again.
like tapping on a phone number it starts caling right away WTF. makes me not want to use alot of features when i have to do everything twice..
SPB Mobile Shell
Too long try to minimize writings so people dont get bored
have you checked SPB Mobile Shell? .. its a really good customizable UI
http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/
It sounds like you just don't like the HTC Sense interface. As mentioned, SPB Mobile Shell is a very popular alternative. Otherwise, there are countless other Today screen plugins available (but many are outdated and require stylus). Or perhaps the default WinMo 6.5 Titanium interface will suit your needs?
im not sure if it comes with the winmo 6.5
whats the difference between sense and touch flo? if any

default WinMo 6.5 Titanium interface is the normal Windows Mobile 6.5 UI, the one with the one list and you go up and down and scroll vertically.
Manila 2.0 = TouchFlo3D 2.0 (No weather on the clock and no shortcuts above the tabs)
Manila 2.1 = TouchFlo3D 2.1 = Sense 2.1 (Weather on the clock, and no shortcuts above the tabs)
Manila 2.5 = Sense 2.5 (Weather on the clock + Shortcuts above the tabs)
you probably have WM6.5 with Sense 2.1 (A.K.A TouchFLo3D 2.1 A.K.A Manila 2.1)
you can either use the default WM6.5 UI (A.K.A Titanium interface) or Sense 2.1 (A.K.A TouchFLo3D 2.1 A.K.A Manila 2.1) or install SPB Mobile Shell for a whole new experience.
hope things are a little bit clearer
what about the inboxes is there any way to get rid of that dang preview screen and go straight to inbox for txt and email?

One Small Problem Left...

This is what my main screen now looks like:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4302943843/
Can anyone tell me how to make the slider tab transparent or indeed change in any way so that I can see the icon that it is currently resting on?
I have the pegasus clock only cab installed to make it look like this. I also have brians task bar and a font installed. other than these, I have no other cabs etc.
I have a TP2, win mo 6.5 and, as far as I know, sense 2.1, also, when I go into device version, my ROM is 1.86.261.0 (67102) WWE. Nowhere does it actually say what version of manila I have.
I have nearly got my phone how I want it and help with this would be much appreciated, thanks!
Do a search for "no curtains" cab
The no curtains cab doesn't seem to do anything for me. Is there anything else I could do?
This looks like a promising lead... http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=97345
If this would work, which cab(s) would I need? The sense UI 2.1 V3 or the basic slider - or both?
Actually, these didn't work - the basic one was the only one that did anything and that placed the translucent strip back behind the icons at the bottom and the slider tab remained opaque...
Now I have a BIG problem. I still have pegasus clock only installed and my GUI is looking poor now. however, when I try to uninstall it, it says that it was not completely removed and would i like to remove it from the list of installed programs. if I click yes, it stays in the list. Turning off then turning back on the device does nothing! I can't uninstall this program! What can I do now?
Edit again: I tried reinstalling pegasus and the soft reset just uninstalled it! Now I'm back to my original home screen, time to start over...

WM 6.5 ROM queries/problems

Yesterday I installed HTC ROM upgrade and unbeknownst to me installed WM 6.5. It does not seema s bad as some here make out but I have come across a couple of irritation stumbling blocks that I am sure someone here can resolve for me. How the hell do I get into basic wondows/phone settings such as backlight, power settings etc. Is there a way to customise what used to be called the Today screen, now the Home screen I suppose, beyond what little is available on the Home screen menu. In the old 6.1 version I had until yesterday when Touch Flo didn't have a settings option you were dropped back into windows settings, can't find a way to do this now. BTW does Manila = Touch Fl0 3D and is Sense an updated version of the same?

ok, im figuring u have the wm 6.5 now. yes manila is touchflo, and sense is just the newest UI. touchflo3d is a UI and Sense is a UI. if u have touchflo3d and want to change today screen settings(which is limited with out modding) go to ur start menu. then settings. then go today screen. u can change your themes on appearance tabs. if u want windows default today screen, click on the items tab on the bottom of same screen. then u can uncheck touchflo and check windows default. its a more basic setup. if u really wanna modify ur today screen/tf3d, check out the Themes and apps thread here in Rhodium. theres all sorts of tweaks to make ur tf3d look nuthin like it does now. Like transparent sliders, new icons, new taskbar, new transparent clocks, and it goes on and on.
i know it can seem confusing with all the icons trying to find ur main system settings. For the main ones, press start menu. then go settings. then go to system. u will be able to modify backlight/power settings and more. these are the main windows mobile settings. U also have a settings tab in tf3d that lets u change some things in system and tf3d but not as much or detailed like main system settings. try it out
Hi Jeremy.
In the 6.5 ROM you can find all the old regular WM settings by just sliding to the "settings" tab in Sense, and clicking the bottom-left soft key, "All Settings". Yes it's an extra click, and yes it gets annoying.
Manila is the underlying operating name for HTC's custom UI. First version was TouchFlo, then TouchFLO3/TF3D (which you just came off of), then Sense. All of those are just "generations" of Manila.

The fix is noted above, but I would recommend burning a custom ROM. I'm using the Energy ROM, and in that version the Settings goes to the WM settings rather than the Sense Settings tab. Plus, these ROMs can have a lot of nice customized programs already burned in.
I just downloaded and installed Easy Today Launcher on my WM Prof 6.1 and I am really happy with it. It allow you to put shortcuts on your today screen. I have TF3D turned off, so no idea how it works with that. The Easy Today Launcher is free and super easy to use.
thats right...in that tab theres the all settings to...a lil faster..lol

Hi. Thanks for explaining the Manila naming thing.
Unfortunately, for some reason, I do not have the All Settings soft key, its what I was looking for - the same option as in 6.1 with TF3D. Any ideas? Maybe I shoud just flash with the Energy custom ROM and be done with it!

I have found the All Settings option, it was under the Menu soft key! Anyway I have taken the good advice of stevedebi and installed the Energy custom ROM, which was a cinch to install and looks fanatsts so far. A happy man here!
