[Q] Sense 2016 rotation issues - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have built a 6.5.5 rom HD2 Leo and intragrated sense 2016. I have noticed that the music and picture tabs do not rotate when you turn the phone. Is there a way arround this?

Has anybody been able to fix this in sense 2016. I have even tried the packages from earlier sense that did rotate, but when I put them in to 2016 it didn't work. I think it may have to do with the manila core but I am not sure.

What ROM do you have? Perhaps its best asking within that thread.
I enabled Manila Rotation for the Artemis ROM recently, and found that the Pictures, Music, and Documents tab did rotate, but not in the way that HTC intended. I therefore disabled the rotation again because apparently you cannot create exclusions for certain tabs.

Noob questions.. help me pick a ROM.

I'm not new to custom ROMs in general, I've had them on my PPC6700 and Mogul previously, but the Touch Pro seems to have ALOT of them. I have specifics on what I'm looking for. I don't even know if half this stuff exists on the Raph800, so bare with me.
- WM 6.5, but only if it's pretty much entirely bug free.
- Landscape Cleartype. I've heard Da_G's ROM supports it, do any others?
- Topaz HTC Start Menu for TF3D, and HTC Menu Enhancement
- Rhodium TF3D (weather fix, again looking for bug free)
- NO built in Opera, or 9.7 Beta
- Touch HD S2A
- HTC app skins (Phone, Calc, etc)
- Non-ridiculous boot screens (which I'm flexible on lol)
Any thoughts?
IDK of any rom that is 100% bug free. but to get what you want you would need to use a kitchen. who is your cell provider?
I feel the same way have a ppc6700 and have used the kitchens on that one but my touch pro I am lost on what to install and what not to I just want to go to wm 6.5 for sprint just like stock nothing fancy but can add later when I know what they do
Thanks for your input guys, I wound up unlocking and giving NFS_Fan's 6.5 a try, so far I love it!

Really cause to move to Manila 2.5...

Hi, everybody.
I'm just interested, in Manila 2.1 it's very easy to move to quick list of many programs you need more. But, in 2.5 I can't find this list, or may be I'm mistaken.
Also, quick list of recently called people available in Manila 2.1 (but not in 2.5)
Am I right?
Pls, give your suggestions about how to create quick lists.
Thanks.
In 2.5 you can access the Programs tab but sliding UP the main manilla screen (where you see the Time)

An Application like "Cookie Home Tab" for Sense 2.1!

It seems most of the professional developers have switched to WM6.5 + Sense 2.5 and fully abandoned W6.1 & Sense 2.1
Surely one of the very best applications for Sense 2.5 is “Cookie Home Tab” which let users to customise many items easily within Sense 2.5, while there isn’t any for Sense 2.1 users!
Wish some of these great developers reconsider Sense 2.1 and make a new application similar or equivalent to CHT for it to make the sense 2.1 users as happy as 2.5 users
maybe you could ask in the thread of the cookie home tab. Maybe your question is kinda interesting in terms of speedadvantages. But Im no specialist!
Thanks,
Future

Why not just upgrade to 2.5?

While I like 2.5, there are more things about it that I dislike.
I don't like the favorite contacts page at all.
I can't stand that there isn't a programs tab, and while there are several threads about adding one, I have not been able to get any of them to work.
So for now, I am happy with 2.1
The one thing I miss the most of 2.5 is the settings tab though.

in 2.5 you don't need a program tab, if you install CHT
and contacts can be added to the quicklinks,too.so why do you think that much users say, that Sense with CHT is how it should be? just give it a try it's free and you can flash back if you like 6.1 after some days still more.
and Sense 2.5 has a settings tab...

I have tried 2.5 with and without CHT.
I still like to have a programs tab, even with the home tab quick links, and I like the 2.1 favorite contacts page.
Personal preference.
that's really ok, mate

I fully agree with Brent372!
If there was a CHT version for sense 2.1, then you could customize many thing and combine advantages.

The DeepShining ROM from dotcomp has a Programm Tab, it is WM6.5 with Sense 2.5. Maybe you give it a shot.

Hi Michel!
We do all know that there is no technical advantage of Sense 2.1 over 2.5 but Im wondering if a Sense 2.1 can provide more speed than the newer versions. The most ROM Chefs discussed the 2.1 vs 2.5 in terms of speed (see the "Blackstonehenge HyPer" thread in the Blackstone ROM Development section for instance). From a users sight Sense 2.1 is only missing the quicklinks, right?
So *IF*
- Sense 2.1 DO have reasonable speed advantages compared to 2.5 and
- C00kie Home Tab for Sense 2.1 could bring quicklinks to life there and
- it's possible to port CHT over to Sense2.1 without much work and
- a Sense2.1 CHT would not slow the Sense 2.1 speed down to 2.5 level
I would appreciate such a version as it could be really interesting for all the devices with slower processors and chipsets (400-800MHz) and including my old blackstone (Touch HD). But only if all the IFs are positive of course...
Thanks for this discussion,
Cpt-Future
and again... it is matter of personal preference.
I am sure there are others like me that right now, prefer 2.1 over 2.5
it will be great if something like CHT be available for sence 2.1, i have Diamond and i tested both sense 2.5 and 2.1. sense 2.1 is faster on my device.

does anybody know how to replace people tab of sense 2.5 with the ones in sense 2.1?

[Q] Looking for a ROM that can do the following...is there such a thing?

Hi All
Been a regular reader but just joined now.
Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.
So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:
- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)
- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)
- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?
- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either
- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like
- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?
- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?
- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.
Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?
Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??
I have checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen
For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file
as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.
or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.
I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.
I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.
Anyway thanks for the replies!

the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.
Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.
Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.
Cheers
Hi,
I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...
The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)
And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)
The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...
You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!
Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...

KingCobra3D-ICS 1.5 - Lock screen call issue

Hi
I have recently installed KingCobra3d-ICS 1.5 and it is running brilliantly but i have one minor issue, when my screen is locked and somebody calls I have no option to answer it from the lock screen therefore having to pattern unlock it then answer the call, this is not a major issue but has caused me to miss a few calls due to it. My question is if there is a fix as it seemed to be a know bug in the earlier versions but was fixed in update 1.2, or will i have to reinstall the ROM from scratch to get it working?
I presume you have installed AOSP version od KingCobra3D. I have a solution, maybe not the best one. I installed the ROM with AOSP components but without the AOSP lockscreen. Sense lockscreen works fine on incoming calls.
Sorry I forgot to mention that, yes i have the AOSP lockscreen as it is more aesthetically pleasing than the sense lockscreen which is the main reason I am reluctant to switch back to the sense lockscreen. I will switch to slide unlock rather than pattern which will help the issue but I will continue looking for a resolution. Thanks for your reply.
I have found a workaround by using Llama to unlock the screen when a call is incoming.
Jaydrury1992, since you've been testing this ROM - did you experience any other glitches? How about camera, 3D and bluetooth as well as USB-connection? Thinking about switching from Virtuous Shooter to another ICS ROM where everything works flawlessly to be able to use the awesome PDroid Privacy Protection.
Got another fully working ICS-ROM in mind? Recommendations are VERY welcome!
Too bad CyanogenMod 9 doesn't provide working 3D effects and camera yet...

no problem on my side only use sense theme, fantastic rom
