Ok, thought i'd do this so we can look for new apps easily, as we all will have something that someone else hasn't! And will save people (myself included) from trawling the forum every day for something new to play with!!
So Far:
TouchFlo Tweaker for polaris, but seems to work fine with my nike
SetVolume nifty full screen volume changer, change volume by moving finger round dial + set vibrate, mute, etc. by pressing middle button
pRSSReader free and great, Today plugin feature too
Batti shows battery bar at top of screen, change height, colours, frame, percentages, always on top etc. nice if you don't want wisbar, etc. installed for this feature
GroupSMS click menu in sms options then add group of recipients in one go, great for calling the herd to watering hole!
HushSMS *cof*cof* shhhhhh, great for messing around with friends, use responsibly!
BatteryStatus nuff said
dcinobar get rid of the bottom taskbar, who needs it!? you might need to toggle in and out of landscape view after bootup just to get today plugs on bottom bar
NikiSimFix hide sim contacts
SlideActions excellent app to end call on slider down action plus other nifty addons to help lock phone in call, etc.
PocketRar winrar, need i say more
ok, i've showed you mine, now you show me yours!!
Resco explorer, registry & Keyboard - The best solution for it.
Schap's advanced configuration - Excelent tweaker
PDA light - Small executable that turns the pocket into a flashlite, with several colors optionable.
Spc clone & plus 4 + transparent iconset - Again, the best solution for backups and Tabs.
nueLED 1.5 - To customize the led colours.
pdg minimal dialer clean - My favorite dialer skin at the moment.
icontact 0.72 + lycox diamond skin - The best contact manager, now even better.
Softick card export 0.8 - The only solution to use the pocket as a pen.
Slideactions - The greatest tweak exclusive for dual.
Wisbar advance 3 - My favorite skinner.
IGO8 + wm6.1 fix - Map viewer, in 3D (I dont have GPS).
MyMobiler - My favorite "use pocket thru pc" solution.
Pim backup - The only solution for contact backups
TCMCP & Coreplayer - The best solution for video.
---edited---
I think the links are all fixed now.
@TWolf can you supply the links also when they are found in this forum. I did a search for PDA light and didn't find the program, it did find a lot of threads on backlight settings though.
The ones I ussually install apart from ones already stated above:
- Total commander: file explorer and Registry editor
- Modaco NoData: switch off data connection while roaming
- FBTV: Dutch TV Guide
- Google Maps
- Sprite Backup, the name explains itself. Came with the install cd supplied with the device.
- Stay Unlock: prevents your exchange server to force a lock policy onto your device.
- Opera Mobile: alternative browser which displays normal pages very good on your Nike.
thanks ! iContact looking good, will give it a whirl when i unbrick my device :S
great thread! a couple i think are cool:
s2u2
spb weather
phontuner - musical instrument tuner, guitar tuner etc, very useful for me.
pocketgravity - fun gravity game
pocketpicture - nice paint program
bluezard - for searching through peoples phones files via bluetooth (naughty)
webcameraplus - turn your nike into a webcam
Forgot to mention Kaisertweak with my own tweak file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395478
And thanks twolf for the links!
I'm a huge fan of SPB Mobile Shell.
good good
another one i like is ArielBattery covers start menu icon (or move wherever you like along topbar) with battery icon with % and custom colors
WeatherPanel free today weather plugin
cLaunch tabbed today screen app launcher, oh and free too!
youtube playerhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227 free, but you'll need HSDPA connection (or maybe EDGE will do), but very good, and yes free!
First thing I always do is install esmertec java (or jbed) then opera mini (mini.opera.com) - far and away the best fastest browser.
SMS-Chat:
http://iwindowsmobile.com/threaded-sms-messaging.html
pretty sleek and simple threaded sms messaging app.
it also has a "notification" feature that displays the text message you receive on your screen
'LouzeBerry' 6.5 ROM -- Version 061209 (changelog below)
This is my latest personal build. I'm posting it because I didn't notice any chefs putting together 6.5s with the standard TF3D, and I figured there might be people like me who are waiting until xboxmod gets done with converting the shipped version of TF3D2 to make the switch.
Getting to know this ROM:
* 6.5 Build 21812
* TF3D STANDARD with the FuzeBerry theme (turned off by default in favor of the new 6.5 Titanium interface; you can switch it in the Today settings).
* FuzeBerry for the 6.5 Titanium interface.
* Rhodium menu enhancement
* Tachi-style notifications (uninstallable)
* Opera 9.5 16277, Advanced Config, Google Maps, Titanium Customizer, Total Commander, Weathermaster (all uninstallable)
* HTC Album 2.5, with the social networking uploaders. I'm not crazy about the new behaviors 3.0, or about the fact that the uploaders aren't currently included in that version.
* Available with and without HTC on-screen keyboards.
* User Customization compatible.
(See further notes in next post)
061209B-KB - With HTC Keyboard
061209B-NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Updated to 21812. Scrolling is getting SNAPPY.
- Switched from HTC's Config Setup to WM6.5's
- Several updated packages, including a more WM6.5-friendly version of the HTC Task Manager
* Please re-download if you grabbed the original version. Corrected version is 061209B.
* If you have trouble starting YouTube: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3953769&postcount=124
Other recommended build:
052109KB - With HTC Keyboard
052109NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Returned to 21222 SYS. To put it eloquently, it's many much more betterer. Seems faster than the newer builds, and several people in the kitchen thread report minor bugs with 21231/2 they didn't see in 21222.
- Updated Google Maps. Street View!
- New Bluetooth driver. Da_G's description: It "has been modified to remove AVRCP being tied directly to WMP, that is it should function with whatever app you're using that supports AVRCP control now."
- New keyboard driver. The home key now calls the start menu (hitting the end key, as before, will get you to the home screen)
- Some new wallpapers. Hope you like indy chick rockers and/or bluegrass-informed acoustic alternative. Want an LB wallpaper that exactly matches the color of the current welcomehead (hey, I think it looks nice)? Download the "Blueback.zip" attached to this post (made it after the build).
(Previous changelogs in next post)
MobileMatt, Mr. Fuzeberry himself, is now mirroring the ROM at http://www.fuzeberry.com/ may not always be the latest build)
Many thanks to Da_G for the kitchen, NRGZ28, Captain_Throwback, At0mAng for his own kitchen and patience, MobileMatt for creating Fuzeberry and mirroring LB, davitru for more mirrors, and all the other usual peeps.

Important Notes:
* Standard dialer, but skinned to look much nicer than it does by default.
* HTC Volume is omitted, because it won't change in-call volume without the HTC Dialer. Instead includes an app that looks almost identical
* Keyboard configured for the Fuze. Use this if you've got a non-Fuze Touch Pro.
* Removed certain redundant TF3D tabs. If you want them back, disable TF3D and unzip this to your windows folder.
* Any trouble installing items or accessing 'net with with JBEd? Go into JBed's network settings and manually pick the network appropriate for your carrier. Only a concern under certain network setups for the phone.
* Not everyone loves the Tachi notifications; they don't always act like you'd think. You can uninstall them under "Remove Programs." That will get you the default WM-style notifications. If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), install this as well.
* Beginning with 050609, the BioTouch files that are the core of the TouchFlo finger-scrolling are omitted, as they interfere with WM6.5's own scrolling in some cases. The practical upshot is that finger scrolling should be improved in many applications, but it won't work at all in YouTube. But using this application, you can scroll through YouTube (and lots of other stuff) nice and quickly with the scroll wheel. If you really can't live with this, install this cab for the old behavior (YT scrolling may still be choppy).
* Don't like the FuzeBerry look? Dirty commie.
--- Install this cab (updated 051809 - redownload if you got it before then) to get back the original WM6.5 icons in Titanium and the Start Menu.
--- Install this cab to get back the original Start Menu icons, but to keep Titanium in the FuzeBerry Theme.
--- And this to put TF3D back to the default look.
Warning: By doing any of this, you sacrifice super-awesomeness.
* Want an HTC Dialer back? Try the Tachi dialer. Caveats: It doesn't work in landscape, and the edit contact function won't do anything without TF3D2. But it does let you uninstall SetVolume and get HTC's Volume Rocker back (you can install HTC Volume w/o an HTC Dialer, but you won't be able to change in-call volume).
Older downloads/changelogs (see first post for most current changelog):
052709KB - With HTC Keyboard
052709NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Upgraded to 21725. Da_G says this is almost certainly 6.5.0.1
- New build brings a faster, slightly nicer IE. Also brings updates to all the widgets, and the return of the weather widget. They're faster and slicker than before.
- Minor tweaks and cleanup. Updates the "Rock and Republic LB" theme with a slightly different wallpaper (now matches the color of the welcomehead)
- Also adding today to Post No. 2: "Partial DeFuzeBerrify" cab, to keep the FuzeBerry look on Titanium, but to get original WM6.5 icons on the Start Menu. If you want more visual consistency on the Start Menu, but want to keep the grooviness of FuzeBerry elsewhere, this is good compromise.
052109KB - With HTC Keyboard

051809KB - With HTC Keyboard UPLOADING - mirror by davitru
051809NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- FINALLY organized the Start Menu.
- Speed tweaks
- Changed Connection Setup settings so it won't notify you automatically on first normal boot (was like this until a few builds ago). Make sure you run it manually if you're not prompted for setup during initial customization (you might be, depending on if/how you did your sdconfig.txt)
- Updated the Defuzeberrify cab from the post below (link is the same; file has been replaced) to include the folder icons for the organized start menu).
- Note (discovered after cooking): MP3 Trimmer is installed, but the lnk is missing from the Start Menu. It's in the Windows folder, and you can copy it into the Start Menu from there.
051609KB - With HTC Keyboard - mirror by davitru
051609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - mirror by davitru
- Moved to 21232
- All MS Widgets now included
- Note: This is (probably) the last build where I'm leaving the Start Menu a big, flat mess. My weekend project is finally getting it organized.
051409KB - With HTC Keyboard - Mirror by davitru
051409NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier) - Mirror by davitru
- Moved to brand-spankin' new build, 21231
- Added "MyPhone"
- NetCF3.5 is now installed during initial customization, instead of cooked in, for better compatibility with 21231
- Minor additions/enhancements that come with the new kitchen
050609KB - With HTC Keyboard. Mirror by davitru.
050609NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier). Mirror by davitru.
- Fixed Initial Customization error in 050509KB version
- "Comm Mgr" in the Titanium Home screen now properly opens the Comm Manager, instead of the clock.
- The Biotouch.exe/Biotouch.dll files have been removed. See important notes in the next post on the impact of this.
050509KB - With HTC Keyboard
050509NOKB - Without HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboard easier)
- Moved to 21222, brand new build. With it comes improvements to IE, and possibly more responsive scrolling.
- No more freezes starting an SMS (hotfix was available in last version)
- PTT Button brings up new-style Comm Manager by default on Fuze
- New Welcomehead & Purple LB Wallpaper
050109KB -- with HTC Keyboard
050109NOKB -- NO HTC Keyboard (makes installing third-party keyboards easier)
- Moved to 21215, and a new kitchen. Should be snappier, and memory management should be better.
- I've disabled the automatic network setup on first boot. This prevents some people from having to go through it twice if something in their personal UC triggers it. Go to Start --> Settings --> Connections and select Connection Wizard to get set up.
- New Welcomehead, new versions of the wallpapers.
- Added in Adobe Reader
- HOTFIX: If you have freezes typing in names for an SMS, install THIS (only affects the KB build)

Sounds good! Ill be watching for updates.
Hey smith great roms, especially the latest one here its simply amazing. I have a few quirks that I have found. For a while now the last few of you roms have a bug where it shows the old style comm manager when using the PTT button. But the link in Start menu>settings>connections>comm manager is the right kind. I use the comm manager a lot do disable and enable 3g to save battery and not being able to get to it quickly is very bad.
Also could you add weather to the WM6.5 home menu like the mystic series rom.
Otherwise great rom.

I agree if when using settings, personal, buttons, and select comm manager that it lets us select the full comm manager that gives all the options. This would be a nice feature. For the weather thing just use chome editor bro, thats what i do to add panels/pages/etc. Thats not a biggie at all.

That Comm Manager issue has long been on my "Bugs me, but not a whole lot, and I've got other stuff to do" list for a while. But tonight I took a crack at it and came up with a fix:
Go into \Windows\Start Menu with Total Commander, and rename "Comm MAnager.lnk" to "Communications.lnk" -- or whatever name you might prefer. Then go into the Buttons control panel and select your newly renamed link. From now on, the button will go to the new manager.
"Comm Manager" will still be an option on the list, and you can switch to that if for any reason you ever decide you want the old-style manager (not that I can imagine you would).
It'll be set up that way by default in the next build. Edit: This is fixed in the current build.
If anyone's curious, the problem is that the button was actually pointing to a "comm manager" link in the Appbuttons folder, not the one in the start menu, and so long as both had the same name, only one would show up in the buttons control panel.
-----------
For the weather, I'm shying away from tools and plugins that are still under very active development. They get upgraded too quickly for me to feel it's very useful to include them in a ROM (although I certainly have done a ton of ROM updates over a short time, that should slow down now that virtually all kinks are worked out). I recommend setting up an SDConfig.txt file on your SD card to have anything like that installed by User Customization on the initial boot (that's how I have both Fav People and Titanium Weather getting installed on my own Fuze).
Hi Lou
after 041709B i flashed your new rom. Since now its excelent rom. I try it and give feedback. Is there any way to customize TF3D (add or remove Tabs) and change softkeys in it?

Schaps advanced config 3.3 that should be cooked into the rom bro. Go to settings, more settings, then see tf3d towards the bottom for tabs and at the top youll see something for the softkeys.
Thank's bro i run Advanceconfig but i didn't know about more settings.
I believe those softkey settings in Adv. Config are for the stock Today screen (what you get if both Titanium and TF3D are turned off, and you're using traditional Today plugins), not for the softkeys that appear in TF3D. But you can change the TF3D ones with these registry settings:

Non, adv config soft keys settings also works for tf3d, just not for chome. Though there is a simple way with chome with reg editor, go to hklm, software, microsoft, chome, then at the bottom is the reg for the left soft key. Now in that chome folder is also every panel that is active on chome and u can click any of those and change those left and right soft keys if you like. Only problem is i have no idea how to link them.
For example, the left soft key url is :MSCONTACTS. Now i have Icontacts installed to the phone, how do i find the Icontact's url to repleace the above? Id be golden if i could figure out how to find programs urls and how to link them in reg editor.

I don't have icontact installed to check it, but looking at the cab, it should probably be:
\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe
Just added this to the first post:
- HOTFIX: If you have freezes typing in names for an SMS, install THIS (only affects the KB build)
The issue was supposed to be resolved a few versions back, but I just discovered I goofed on the registry key. This solves a conflict that exists between WM6.5's own name-lookup and the HTC keyboard's name-lookup.
Problems with 5-1-09 rom
Hey there. It's the noob again.
I flashed your latests rom yesterday and have noticed the following issues.
Just want to make sure it's not something I'm doing wrong or if this is a "feature" of the rom.
1. When I want to close an app, I click on the X in the top right hand corner. On previous ROMS, that would close the app, but now it just minimizes it.
2. Have you found a way to link soft keys for CHOME yet? Advance Configuration manger changes the keys, but after you reboot, it reverts back to default (contacts).
3. When I click on the toolbar for a notification (Examples: sprite backup report, New email, etc) it takes me to the Notification screen, I tap the notification and: sprite asks to review the report, I tap yes and it just takes me back to the Home screen. On Emails, I tap the “New Mail” and nothing happens until I tap “close” or “Dismiss All”
Thanks - Markmi300

1. This is a configuration choice (all my ROMs have been this way). You can change it by going to Start -- > Settings --> System -- Task Manager (note: there are two different control panel items called Task manager, you want the one with the gray icon). Select "button" and you can change this to the behavior you're used to.
2. I haven't been looking for a way to change this (I like the default just fine for this), but check out the threads in Development and Hacking for CHome/Titanium editors. There might be a way to do this under there; not sure.
3. That's the Tachi/Topaz-style notification screen. It's not perfect, in particular when not paired with TF3D2. Aware of the flaws, I made it uninstallable. It's listed as "HTC Tachi Notification Enhancement" under "Remove Programs." If you uninstall it and so a soft-reset, you'll be back to the standard WM-style notifications. I've flipped-flopped in the past on dropping it entirely.
Just cabbed this up, and will add it to the first post:
If you want the HTC-style large-button notifications (like on the stock ROM), after you uninstall the Tachi notifications, install this.

See - That's why I'm liking this Thread and your ROMS more everyday.
You actually HELP people. Where on other threads that I've posted, my questions usually just gather dust.

I help where I can. But in all fairness to the other chefs (many of whom I owe thanks for their help with packages, questions, etc), their threads are a lot busier so it's a lot easier to get lost in the noise. .

Nice! Ill be sure to test it out for u tomorrow. Looks nice. Thats funny, "i swear thats his name". Ever see that movie "romeo must die" with jet li? Thats where i got deeeeznuts from, haha.

Then again the other forums have nothing to do with this kind of material.
[ROM][WWE]Chrome ROMs & User Submitted |User-to-User Guide| Sense 2.1,2.5 or Titanium
UPDATE: 2-19-10
Newer User submitted ROMs now available. Thanks to madnish30 for updating some items and working hard to update the ROM. Here is a link to his sense 2.1 post, which hopefully he will keep updated. And here is his Sense 2.5 version. I think I will let this thread go to user submitted ROMs for now. Then you can get the Chrome ROM feel but in different flavors. Remember to keep kitchen questions to the kitchen thread. Good luck guys, and God bless. I may return at some point, but I just dont have the motivation right now and am spending all my time trying to salvage my marriage.
Check post 2 for links to User Submitted ROMs, but always read the thread to find the latest updates.
UPDATE: 1-11-10
I didnt make a lot of changes in the ROM, most changes are on my end with the kitchen. It is a newer build which has a new feature, Threaded email. I havent used it personally, but hear good things.
Chrome 23518 Titanium
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.1
Chrome 23518 Sense 2.5
Change log from previous ROMs located in posts below. Make sure to have a look to see what has changed since 21232.
THIS IS FOR GSM MODELS ONLY
Before I give you the rundown, just gotta say thanks to everyone here and at SkinZone.org for making this possible. Special thanks to hilaireg, Da_G, At0mang, NATF, NRG, Holdemdogg, Volt, bilbobrian, Giannis86, all various developers, and everyone I missed.
I will not be held responsible for any Damage in any form for any cause

If you enjoy the ROM and want to help keep skinzone online consider posting or donating at www.SkinZone.org
ROM Mirror Site Provided by llamalord Poke around all you want
Please check the version you downloaded. My FTP has been having issues. I am workin on it. You can always visit the link below and Download the correct version. This is the best way, as you know what you are getting.
Download older versions here.
LEAVE FEEDBACK so I can perfect this.
Also, Please note: My ROMs do not include a custom splash screen. There are 2 available to match the ROM available apon request.
Now the lowdown:
See post 2 for full list of Packages\Apps (OLD). Following is a list of Chrome custom addons:
-Added shortcut for switching between HTC Dialer and MS one.
-Added custom program and folder icons to nearly every program. Added "My Apps" folder for your installed programs and more organization. I like to keep the start menu clean and beautiful.
-Included a custom taskbar by bilbobrian and modified by me to be a bit lighter
-UPX Compressed most of the exe files to save space and speed up loading times
STATS:
290MB of 320MB Free Storage after customization(can anyone provide this? I have a lot installed through UC, so my numbers are way off)
120MB of 193MBFree RAM at first boot
This ROM comes equipped with a lot of extras and is by no means a "Light" ROM. It is quite fast, and still has plenty of space for anything you want to add(if there is anything to add ) I might consider a light ROM later, but for now I wanted to have a Cadillac of ROMs. Everything is included if I need it, if not, it wont hurt anything. I have included several Titanium plugins for people using Titanium instead of TF3D (Certain versions). I might also make a TF3D version which would remove Titanium for us manila users to have more free storage.
Suggestions are welcomed, but not necessary meaning it will be included/excluded.

Sense 2.5 Mirror by ajdrausal
Bugs and Fixes(This ROM is a work in progress. Rome wasn't built in a day)
-Some updated system files for build 23053. Missed these before build went online. This will make taskbar dropdown list work. I never used it during testing, so missed it Just overwrite the files in Windows folder.
Addons for Chrome 6.5
- Manila TV for GenY Manila 2.1
-The newest version of MyPhone is attatched here
-Prefer Manila's SMS interface? SMS tab is set to open MS threaded messaging by default in this ROM. Install the attatched cab to revert.
-To make SIP menu work fully install PatchedBiotouch.dll. Note that this may cause some scrolling issues, but none that I notice personally.
-If you prefer "Home" hardware button to go home instead of opening start menu, install Chrome Keypad_Old_Home.cab. Also attatched a cab ro make Home open start menu(revert)
-If you prefer the old fuzzy circle in start menu, here it is. Extract and copy into windows folder, overwriting the original.

[B]UPDATE 12-4-09[/B]
Here is a variety of ROMs to fit all your needs :D
First there are COM2 ROMs from build 21882. These have older UI style(which is what the now official 6.5 uses)
Not so many changes here, just an update. I did however change some files to modules to have them load from virtual memory rather than RAM, and compressed many image files(for space and faster loading)
Next is the COM8 builds(with lage bottom bar and start menu on bottom left)
There are some small changes across all builds mostly with dialers:
Manila 2.5 build uses newly ported LEO dialer which works hand in hand with manila 2.5. There is a small graphic glitch in this dialer noticable when keypad is shown(in SIP menu area)
Manila 2.1 and Titanium use Rhodium dialer, which should work better with Manila 2.1 and Titanium.
I have updated some applications in the 28008 builds including CleanRAM, BING(a new beta)
The titanium build also uses new Opera 10 beta2.
Sure there are more changes, but none I can recall off hand :p

UPDATE: 11-13-09
(from my original post)
All ROMs are uploading and I am spent. No more updates for a while. It was very difficult to pull all of it together because my kitchen has now tripled in size and it takes at least 330 minutes just to scroll through and make all the right selections. Then flash each one, test a bit, reflash, test, etc. I wont be around for a while, but dont let that stoip you from donating :p
Enjoy:

There are a lot of changes, but each ROM has its own qualities and changes. M2.5 of course has updated Manila 2.5 files and LEO packages that correspond to it. All HTC software upgraded to latest 1920 versions from LEO with exception of NewContactCard which is still 1919 build. Removed extra Titanium plugins(if your not using Manila I recomend another ROM anyway)
M2.1 has some minor changes, mostly theme from previous COM5 build. Re-Compressed all images for space
Titanium has all Manila items and dependencies removed. Slightly different MenuEnhancements because latest ones wont work without Manila enabled. They are yet untested.

-Some issues with programs that call on Pocket Outlook :(
-This build is simply for those that want to see what direction M$ is going with 6.5.1. It is usable, but expect some incompatabilities with certain software. Some programs will require using back button to exit since they moved X button to bottom bar and some software does not support this.

-New magnifier is disabled by default, find a script in Settings>Admin Tools to change it.

-more I cant remember right now
UPDATE: Added build 21921
Changelog:

-Battery icon issue seems to be fixed.
-Still using gwes.exe from 23001 for icon issues.

Note that it takes a minute for customization to start because usually it loads while you are aligning screen. To do screen adjustments later, go to Settings>screen>align
-Opera build 16983(Compressed)
-LOTS more. Check posts later in the thread.

Looks pretty good. After you get a few nibbles and I hear good things I'll give it a shot.
This is great, Love the work you put into this, the new builds (21232 V2 DA-G's) are much smoother and would be perfect with your build. Thanks

I can say one bad thing right now. Not too bad, the audiomanager found in multimedia has the slider misplaced. I had it working before, but I think I must have changed something because it either gets messed up from MP3 Trimmer or the fix would be having AudioManager with everything in place and MP3 Trimmer with some things mixed up. Working on it right now. Other than that, we'll have to see. I'd like to have both, but might have to remove one or the other. The audiomanager has an MP3 Trimmer built in, which is part of the problem. Being that it is a beta build, I am not too worried about it. I'll get it fixed up soon.
EDIT: I have an odd fix for it right now, but I'm gonna narrow it down and make it easy for ya
EDIT2: Duh, the problem was on my end in a plugin I had installed during sashimi. No wonder it worked before, I added the problem myself later. So, please report any real bugs not related to addons.
I noticed you didn't mention the keyboard...
The mapping in the 20771 didn't work out for me... I messed around with it for a while and didn't end up fixing it... I ended up having to flash 2 or 3 times... (Finally back to stock, and then on to something else.) to get it to work right again... Except for that..I really enjoyed the rom...
Damn... it sure does look sexy...

This has just stock input method. No TP2. Don't need more to worry about.
Thats strange about the 20771 mapping. It was working fine for me in a few builds. Only time it was off was if I had enabled XT9, but still wasn't too bad. Maybe you have touch pro instead of Fuze? And you are talking about one of the hybrid builds right? Maybe I'll go back and make one with the standard keybooard.
If anyone having trouble downloading, I am having problems getting onto skinzone for some reason, so I don't know what is up. Let me know if its working right.

Bugs and Fixes
I found this after installing Audiomanager Titanium plugin. I think it is due to that, but thought I would post it here. Appears the plugin installer includes an AudioManager.exe file which was different than the one I cooked in. So, this most likely will not be needed.
An odd bug due to the adition of a standalone AudioManager and MP3 Trimmer. The graphics are a butSince it is an odd bug, here is an odd fix. You need to install the attatched Glossy_VGA_AudioManager cab, soft rest, then uninstall the cab. I have no idea why this would fix anything, but it does work. In process of looking furher into this. Make sure to install to device of course.

I've been trying & requesting an .exe or version of Audio Manager that will work outside of TF3D/TF3D2 for a while now. I don't like WMPlayer and I use CorePlayer for my .avi but it sucks as a finger frienldy music player. This also comes in handy when using SPB-MS3.
A custom "Programs" folder under the "Start Menu" would be nice to control clutter and add organization for installed programs.
Haven't flashed yet cuz I'm still luv'n your 6.1 Chrome w/Notification.
Thanks again
Nice looking and fast ROM! Thank you!
Couple of things I found:
- Launching Internet Explorer gives error message "The file :MSPIE cannot be opened...." and the phone freezes.
- Opera shows only blank page.
Looks great, unfortunately launching AS gives an error message about "MSSYNCAPP" file not being signed and incomplete and it freezes. Also, just found out that when receiving and incoming call the S2A does not work.

Yes, there is some sort of bug with all of the "short"
shortcuts seem to have something wrong. All of the registry entries are intact and the actual exe files open fine, so I'm looking into this tonight hopefully. As a temporary workaround, you could change the properties of the shortcut to point to the actual exe file. For Internet Explorer simply change from :MSPIE to
Code:
"\windows\iexplore.exe"
Leaving the part following the command from the "?" will ensure you can keep the same icon.
About the Opera, not quite sure what you mean by "shows only blank page". I mean it is literally blank page? Is the Opera skin there? Or does the page start to load and then stops. I have experienced the last before, but I think it is something in Opera or poor connection as a simple reload of the page will then show the page. If you are having trouble with connections, try the enable/disable proxy shortcuts in "Tweaks\Proxy\" folder.

Your problem is also related to the problem noted above. I will have a fix hopefully tonight.
As for the S2A, it is and has been working fine for me. Make sure you didn't use the PhoneSkin shortcut in phone folder. This is meant to toggle between the S2A dialer and the default MS one. This due to HTC/MS bug in dialer scrolling. Some people prefer MS dialer, so I made a simple script to switch on the fly. I have an updated script with more options which I will include in the fix for shortcuts. Try switchiong back and forth to make sure you have S2A enabled.

Hi jmckeejr, liking the ROM so far but I am also having the problem with the shortcuts for items such as activsync and IE. How do I change the shortcuts so this can give me access to them. Thanks. Also, any way to get the g-sensor to work when viewing pictures?

Just finished up a fix. See cab attatched to post 3. As for the G-Sensor thing, why not just use the included G-Config app? It will add the appropriate registry settings for any app you want to auto-rotate. I have disabled it by default in AudioManager because it takes twice as long to load with it enabled. Go ahead and enale it and see what I'm talking about.
Found the g-sensor right before I read your post. Thx.. Also, seems like the cab fix worked. The ROM is real nice as far as I can tell and I've been testing now for over a couple of hours. One other small bug. I've gotta keep putting back my screen brightness as it keeps putting it back to the stock settings after ever soft reset and randomly every so often but other than that, I like it!
UPDATE: I think I found out how to get the screen to stop adjusting. Was in the startup. Any way to get IE6 to play the flash videos on sites such as youtube. Or even do this in opera..? Thanks.

Ok, this ROM comes equipped with Lumos(click there). You need to go through Lumos setup under tweaks folder if you want to change the settings. I have preset it to save battery. You will notice that when you are in a dark area, the screen may be dimmer, and when in bright area the screen will be brighter.
Opera should have flash support built in(with addition of FlashLite3.1), but Youtube requires Flash 10, which is not supported by Opera. You can view videos on certain sites, but not ones that require Flash 9 or 10. You can use Skyfire for these sites I thought I had included Flash3.1, but for some reason it was missed. I'll work on it for RC1.
About the IE, I wouldn't know, as I have never really used it. I prefer Opera. If you go to www.m.youtube.com you can view the mobile version of youtube. It will play videos through streaming media player. You could also use the Youtube app which would be your best bet..
This rom is very nice the only issue i can find after using it for a full day is the shortcuts the only one thats annoying for me is the one for windows media player when selected i get a error amd the device freezes ...and when switching themes in the 6.5 home screen it hangs for a while ...but over all i like the way u put it together keep up the good work ...im lookin for some one to make me a a vey custum tmobile rom for my fuze

Corrupted RAR Problem
Mediafire is always giving me problem where uploaded RAR is corrupted. I've added recovery record in the RAR, so you can use WinRAR to repair it.
Known Problem for Sense 2.5
The description field in Appointment Editor is still in WVGA. All efforts to patch it to VGA ended with failure so far.
Some fields like combo box will displayed as WVGA when switching between landscape and portrait. However, the button for the drop down is visible. Still figuring out why this is happening
14/12/2010: Exquisite V4.24 - 23151 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Fixed Touch Pro hardware keyboard layout
Fixed bluetooth headphone problem with Music tab
Fixed ringtone problem (pinpointed to Opera 10 and large EXE problem)
Addon: Sencity theme
01/12/2010: Exquisite V4.23 - 23699 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Solved bold font issue. Now EzInput and Dialer looks weird since my eyes are used to the bold font issue already.
Fixed landscape issue for Settings tab
Fixed 2nd layer Messages tab where it was unable to scroll to the top of the list
Fixed "Shop Music Store" link in Music tab
Removed "Lunar Calendar" menu item in Calendar tab
Updated EzInput (Engine and IME) - hoping that no new bug introduced
Reverted to older Ringtone plugin from Rhodium to see if it solve the ringtone unable to play issue - Darn.. the problem remains... seems like Opera related problem...
13/11/2010: Exquisite V4.22 - 28244 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense to 2.5.2019. Since this is an update, some Sense tab might have issues.
Fixed bold font in Phone Canvas and EzInput (landscape numeric).
Fixed "Save To Contacts" issue when number is tapped in SMS.
Default page pool is 8mb.
Fix: Missing Twitter tab.
Fix: Enable ICR (In Call Recording).
14/09/2010: Exquisite V4.20 - 23138 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Fixed loading applications problem after Opera 10 has been started... well at least I hope the problem is solved because I can now load Garmin Mobile XT after starting Opera 10. (flashed my Touch Pro more than 50 times to figure out the problem).
Fixed some of the problems pointed out by bobzero, though not all yet.
Fixed Comm Manager WiFi Wizard landscape mode.
Fixed numeric EzInput layout in landscape (font still bold though...)
26/08/2010: Exquisite V4.19 - 23133 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Upgraded to Sense 2.5.20183025
Upgraded lots of packages from new ROMs
Lockscreen now do not experience delay after resuming from suspend mode. However bold font is back (only in dialer and EzInput).
Most new packages are from Chinese or Taiwanese roms and I need to translate new strings in the Resource files. I might miss some. If I do, you might see an empty dialog/message box displayed. Please report this so that I can fix it. Also report any wrong translation, for example in a CHS rom, the message box actually reads, "Ok, Edit or Cancel?" but in WWE rom, it should read, "Are you sure you want to cancel?".
FIX: Exquisite 4.19 SP1
31/07/2010: Exquisite V4.18 - 23128 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Moved to WM 6.5 build 231xx series as I feel that the memory management is better
Updated some packages from Huashan 1.00, Hengshan 1.16 and Rhodium S2 2.10 ROMs
Updated video driver from Rhodium S2 2.10 rom, though I think it's the same version. It's hard to tell as no version is indicated in the driver.
Removed HTC Messaging Client at everyone's request
Reverted back to old style first boot configuration (AutoRun) because some settings are incorrectly done by RunCC. It's the reason why time synchronization and auto time-zone do not work. However XDA UC is retained (will run on 2nd boot).
Fixed XDA UC where cabs that are supposed to be installed in Storage Card ended up in main storage.
Fixed signal icons in title bar.
Download build 23569 (Sense 2.5).
27/07/2010: Exquisite V4.17 - 24623 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated some packages from Huashan 0.93 ROM
Added no arrow mod to EzInput
Added threading email to tmail.exe
Added XDA UC.
Sense 2.5: Added mod to disable clock flip (thanks to ted973). It's still enabled by default. To disable,
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisableMinuteFlip"=dword:0 ;0 to enable minute flip 1 to disable minute flip
"DisableDoubleFlip"=dword:1 ;0 to enable hour and minute flip 1 to disable hour and minute flip
Sense 2.5: Removed attachment icon in HTC Messaging. Can be reenabled by registry edit,
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging\EditItemParameter]
"ToolBarMode"=dword:00000001
"HandWriting"=dword:00000001
Fixed In Call Recording
Fixed Bold font issue
Sense 2.5: BG4All mod now uses WM wallpaper. Setting custom wallpaper in Sense 2.5 will also change the wallpaper for WM. The problem now is, they do not get refreshed until you either switched orientation or soft reset.
Problem encountered:
Sync time does not work properly now. I'm not sure what's wrong but sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Previously, it always works, even right after a hard reset. I'm not sure whether it's a time server problem or something to do with the way the rom is initialized now. I'm giving up on this one (cooked/reflashed more than 10 times a day for 2 days.)
Sense 2.5: The music list in fullscreen mode in Music tab with Bg4All mod is still unresolved. I'm getting lazy to fix Sense related problem.
Sense 2.5: Most Sense 2.5 combo box list will still be in WVGA, thus you can't scroll until the bottom. As above, I'm getting lazy to fix Sense related problem. Fixed
Changes made to UC support:
Upon first boot, device will set up itself and reset
Upon 2nd boot, XDA UC will run to set up user customization from Storage Card. Original sdconfig.txt can still be used. You can also try the alternative way of configuration by following this thread.
11/07/2010: Exquisite V4.16 - 23127/23569 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Added Bg4All mod with default wallpaper.
Fix some bugs in Sense 2016.
Fixed lockscreen issue where it causes havoc to the whole system.
Note:
The font in WM6.5 21664 appears bold. Some people consider that as a problem... but I like it.
To remove the arrow buttons in EzInput, please install EzInput No Arrow.
If suddenly after installing any cab and you've called up the lockscreen and everything seems to not working right, soft reset and go to \Windows and delete lockscreen.dll.
Update: Download build 23569.
Note: Disable HTC Messaging the dirty way.
05/07/2010: Exquisite V4.15 - 21665 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense 2.5 to build 2016.
You can now remove shortcuts in Home, People and Internet by tap-and-hold and drag them out from their socket.
Fullscreen landscape is enabled by default for Photo and Music tabs. To disabled it, install this cab (coming soon).
Home tab (landscape) now shows 2 columns of shortcuts.
Removed CHT. Please download CHT manually if you want to use it. After installing CHT, the photos Photo tab will be misaligned. Please delete 675e2983_manila from \Windows.
Updated some packages from Leo S 3.04.
Fixed the link in Comm Manager where tapping the "Phone" bar now brings up HTC Phone settings, instead of WM native Phone settings (problem introduced in V4.14e).
Note:
The font in WM6.5 21664 appears bold. Some people consider that as a problem... but I like it.
To remove the arrow buttons in EzInput, please install EzInput No Arrow.
Mirror provided by Majorasshole.
FIX: Lockscreen lock-up fix. If you happen to start lockscreen, upon soft reset, Sense would not start up. Just install the fix and upon the next soft reset, everything would be resolved.
20/06/2010: Exquisite V4.14e - 23569 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium)
Updated Sense 2.5 to Core 2014. However not all tabs are updated due to performance issue and time constraint.

Fixed some sound setting related to some .mid files (thanks to StevePritchard)
Note: If you are not installing any Sense 2.5 theme, there is no need to flash this version. As for Sense 2.5 build 2013, I personally do not feel/notice any differences at all.

Fix #2: Shift key fix (applicable to all Exquisite version)
26/05/2010: Exquisite V4.14b - 23569 (Sense 2.1 + Titanium) (Sense 2.5 + Titanium) (Torrent)
Identical to 4.14a except the correct compression type is used (XPR instead of LZH in 4.14a). This would allow faster loading speed upon boot-up.
Sense 2.5 Mirror (thanks to majorasshole).

Goodies
Chinese Font (9 July 2010)
This Arphic CHS Font v1.1.20090924.00 is taken from Obeo. It also works in Sense 2.5.
EzInput No Arrow (27 June 2010)
This will remove the arrow keys at the bottom of EzInput SIP.
Back key support in Sense (17 Jan 2010)
Here's an instruction on how to make the Back key works in Sense. (This has been cooked in for newer roms)
Patched New Contact Card (16 Jan 2010)
I'm trying to resize New Contact Card to VGA for landscape but failed. But at least I get the scrolling work. Get it here. Fully patched and integrated into Sense 2.1 rom.
Bubble Breaker (2 Nov 2009)
Since Bubble Breaker is not included anymore, you'll have to get the cab here.
Opera is not included (1 Nov 2009)
Go here and choose any version of Opera of your liking. Personally, I'm using Opera Mobile 9.7 Build 35541. I decided not to cook it in as people like me, tend to upgrade Opera if there is a newer build available.
Font Enhancement
+ Que PPC uploaded a nice font enchantment over here. I like it very much, but of course, if you like it, download and install the cab (it's the attachment of the post).
Working A-GPS with Nokia's SUPL server
Download this registry. Before importing the registry, you'll need to edit the APN, GprsConnection and Network values. The values can be found in your internet connection settings. The current setting in the registry is for Celcom 3G (Malaysia). To import the registry, you need software like TaskMgr.
Contact's name in missed call sms
Install QuadSMS to add contact's name in them. (Included in V1.1)
Tips
To remove clock from the title bar, refer to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4873141&postcount=395
To record calls, make a call and tap on the Menu button->Start Recording. To playback recorded call, tap Start->Tools->In Call Recording.
You can use the scroll wheel (by sliding your finger around the middle button on the keypad) to browse through the items in People tab, Messages tab and Photos tab in Manila 3D.
You can use the scroll wheel in Messaging's read screen to change font size.
You can swipe you finger across the screen (left to right or right to left) in Messaging to switch accounts.
You can swipe you finger across the screen (left to right or right to left) in any windows with tabs to switch tabs.
So you want performance improvement?
Try to avoid soft reset. Unresponsive apps can be closed by pressing the "Home" button->Start->Tools->Task Manager->End Task.
Try not to be to concern on closing apps. Let them be and it would be quicker to recall them in time of need. Memory issues? You bought a device with 256MB RAM and you are worried about memory issues?
Refrain from installing to much eye candies.
Battery depleted too fast? Try this:
Play some music (from Manila or WMP)
Press power button to suspend the device
Does the music stop?
No? Then there is a 3rd party app that you've installed prevented your device from suspending. Start removing apps (followed by a soft reset) until you found it.
Yes? You worry too much. Remember, the battery only last for 5-6 hours of usage. How many days you get before recharging depends on how you use it. So, if you have to recharge after 5 hours after a full recharge, your device/ROM is fine. If it lasted for 3 days... well, this means that you rarely used the device.
List of Known Problems
After installing 3rd party autorotate app, whenever I pull out the hardware keyboard, the screen turns landscape and then turns portrait. To resolve this, disable GSense Autorotate in Settings tab->G-Sensor->Auto Screen Rotation (turn off).
For Fuze users, to get PTT button to work, please download the attachment in this post to enable it. (Thanks to mimariposa).
In Ftp tab (Bluetooth setting), when trying to change the Bluetooth shared folder, tapping Ok does nothing. To work around this problem, press the "Back" button on the keypad.
Hardware keyboard is not working well. The keyboard layout cooked in is for Touch Pro with minor problem (When using shift key, you must hold it and press other key. Pressing it and releasing it before pressing other keys would result in CAP enabled). Workaround is to use this patches below.
Use Exquisite Configurator to apply the fix. This should work for both Touch Pro and Fuze users.
Fuze user (Choose one). Note: Please try each of them to find which is the best for you.
Revert et9 to version 1.5. To enable/disable et9, tap on the button, slide out and in the keyboard. If key mapping is incorrect, please find the correct layout file for your device. (Note: This should be the best fix with only et9 button odd behaviour)
aruppenthal's solution found by yamilrx. (Note: I do not know what this does, but when I look in the cab, it seems to set some key mapping)
m.carroll fix for EzInput 2.1 (Note: Use this if you want to retain et9 from EzInput 2.1)
Touch Pro user. It will revert e9ime.dll to EzInput 1.5. The only problem is the et9 button on the SIP appear to be not working. To enable/disable et9, tap on the button, slide out and in the keyboard.
Internet Tab is not working! Opera is not cooked in. Please find the link in post #3
The "Long Press End Key" feature is not working! Perform a screen calibration should fix this (Start->Settings->System->Screen).
List of Known Fixed Problems
Note regarding the Phone Canvas (dialer): Until now, there is no VGA port for Rhodium Phone Canvas available. The best workaround now is by using Amarulz's hack which is not perfect but usable. If the phone is in heavy use (high cpu usage) and the phone canvas has not been used for that particular session, the phone canvas would appear as WVGA and then slowly relocated to become VGA. This is normal. If I have time maybe I would try porting it to VGA by patching.
New Contact Card does not display and scroll correctly in landscape. The workaround for scrolling is to change orientation before opening the contact card. (Fixed in V4.04)[/COLOR]
Cannot dial from Manila3D. (Fixed in V3.1 by using Rhodium dialer)
To switch between T9 and ABC mode on EzInput 2.1, tap the T9/ABC button followed by sliding out and sliding in the hardware keyboard. (Fixed in V3.0)
While viewing the Manila Programs tab, changing screen orientation to landscape and back to portrait will cause the Programs tab to display 3x3 icons instead of the original 4x4 icons. Moving to other tabs and returning to it will return it back to 4x4 icons. (Fixed in V3.0)
The background in WM 6.5 Start Menu is not dimmed in landscape. (Fixed in V2.0)
In Album and Photo Picker, the menu list is 800 pixels in height. If the list fills the screen, the last 2 items cannot be seen but can be accessed using the keypad. (Fixed in V1.1)
Some games would not run. I forgot to cook this in. (Fixed in V1.1)
Cannot create new contact by using Windows' native contact application. Creating new contact via Manila is working. (Fixed in V1.1)
is this for GSM only?
Edit, NVM!
Thanks for the new ROM. I'm looking forward to testing this out. I am downloading right now.

Well, it suppose to show time when returned to Manila. There is a registry fix for that somewhere. Let me check on that.
EDIT: The registry fix has already been applied, but some how, the clock is displayed in today screen. So for now, I do not have the solution for this.
battery status with this rom? thanks, seems very cool work.
Posted V1.1
Wow, this rom sounds very promising, by far more then the other out without all that (for me) unnecessary crap. Thanks, I'll give it a try when I've got more time at hand..
Last time I've tried TF3D2 it was very buggy, impossible to use. The sms-screen rotated when trying to type, album didn't work and such... I hope this works better, keep up the good work!
Edit: It works really nice, at least as far as I can see, but it's also using quite a lot of RAM (only 80MB left, while wm6.1 gave me 140-150MB). I'll report back when I run into errors...
Edit2 (Bugs):
- On boot, the keyboard pops up and when tapping the text field on the sms-screen (TF3D), it also pops up. When trying to just use the slide-out keyboard, it closes the sms-screen and switches starts to type the number ready to call...
This bug makes the Rom unusable in my opinion as I can't use my slideout keyboard...!
-Several glitches when rotating the screen and scrolling.
- On the sms-conversation screen, the message is trimmed and I can't reveal the rest of it...
- Album struggles with my images, they are very blurred
- The in call recording can't be launched
- It takes ages before a call comes through with no sound at all!!!
I just downloaded and installed your rom. While it is VERY fast, I don't see the Movable icons in the Start Menu. When I tap and hold on an icon, the only option I get is "move to top" like always.
The theme is nice. TF3D is running fantastic. For some reason I can't get any signal on my AT&T Fuze. I've tried re-running the connection manager but no go.
Also, you mentioned there wasn't a semi-transparent black background while viewing the Start Menu in Landscape. Do you have the file in your kitchen? Should be:
Code:
\SYS\21222\dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\COMMON\base_dpi_192_resh_480_resv_640\StartMenu_Background_Screen_640x480.png
I was trying out a 23009 rom to see how it compared to my favorite 21222 kitchen. I really dig the theme. Red, black, and green really pop. What I'm interested in really is what package are you using for your HTC Task Manager. I like how the color themes change based off the Windows Theme. The task manager was always one I couldn't to theme to match.

I agree, congrats to the chef for a nice work, but RAM is the dealbreaker. 120-130 MB would be exceptable minimum for me.

You have to tap and hold on the icon, then move it.
I've not made any calls, but got some messages and have full reception on my Raphael.
And yes, the ROM is very fast once loaded, much faster then all the other I've tried!
Edit: By the way, why not use 21222 as a base? I've heard several people say that's superior to any release yet..
Maybe that would kill some glitches or so...
If it's faster than any rom you've tried, then the ram must be put to proper use, huh? Having a lot of free ram and a slow rom is kind of pointless, imo.

I didn't mean to complain about it, well, it might shorten the battery life, but anyway, it's the bugs making me go back to stock... especially the sms-issues and low performing on graphics (glitches).
I think that free RAM is the most important thing on the phone. If you are doing some work, faster is good, but even if the device is a bit slower, it's gonna do the job, few seconds later. Without enough free RAM, you cannot do the job at all...

I do use 21222 as a base in all of my roms. But for some reason I cannot get the icons to move in the start menu. I've tried cooking my own roms with the updated shell32.exe cooked in and nothing. It was one of the main reasons why I flashed this was to test. Even with this version, when I tap and hold, I see the ring, then a popup that says "move to top".
When I try to mix the shell32.exe into 21222 it won't even boot.
player911: Strange, I've no problems moving the icons (only in the start-menu of cause)...
Btw, your rom also looks very nice, I guess TF3D2 just isn't ready to use yet...maybe I should try your Titanium version
pilgrim01: Yes, RAM is important, but I think more in term of battery life, as this ROM seriously drains the battery (at least while playing around with it now it has now used over 10%)
uTask v1.4
Author: ultrashot
Compatibility: only Windows Mobile 6.5.3. Any resolution is supported, but I haven't checked this program on any resolution except WVGA.
Functions:
1) Reassignment of virtual keys such as "Windows" and "X"
Supported actions:
Standard action
Launch *.exe
Minimize current program
Close current program
Show start menu
2) Task Manager icon on "Today" screen.
You can assign any task manager to this button. Later I will make my own interface.
3) Position Fix for old windows.
Attention! Some applications can work in unexpected way with positionfix enabled. They should be added into exceptions list!
Exception list supports masks. For example, if you enter "SPBWEATHER*", all window classes starting with "SPBWEATHER" will be excluded.
Also there is a confurator inside.
The most evident difference from any existing programs is IMMEDIATE reaction to new windows. No timers and unneeded calculations at all. uTask is very battery-friendly because of that.
Available translations: russian, english, german, french, italian (thanks to translators!)
Changes in v1.4 (release: 29.06.11, compilation date: 17.06.11):
-added classes list
-minor changes
Changes in v1.4 (26-Mar-11):
-fixed HVGA display detection.
Changes in v1.4:
-better today button behaviour.
-auto-resize of incorrect button images.
-bugfixes (bug with few HTCMenus versions, bug with EzInput on some devices)
-installer now shows error message if you try to install uTask on unsupported OS. Then, if system refuses to run after utask installation, try to start your phone two or three times. Perhaps, autodiagnostic system will disable utask. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't make a system backup.
Changes in v1.3:
-more accurate vibration
-increased timeout for clock hook
-ability to *.lnk in configurator
-little changes.
Changes in v1.2:
-some fixes for position fix
-configtool fixes
-stability improvement
-auto detector of problematic apps - seems like exception list is useless at the moment.
-taskbar clock hook - clock will have the same as home key function
-implemented internal size\position cache... should work better for all, especially HVGA devices.
Changes in v1.1:
-added immediate position fix.
-fixed all found bugs.
-added special menu for toolbars (hold finger on old-style toolbars and you'll get an action menu).
-added "Open start menu" action.
-SIP position fix (works for Swype, for example)
-support for two softkeys HDMini-like mode.
-settings were moved to new subkey called "Settings" - attention, chiefs!
Make a system backup before installing! I don't take any responsibility for any damage to phone or data on it.

Is there any difference to the xTask? Because you are using the xTask icon.

uTask is a totally different program without any junk and without battery-eating timers.
Looks a very interesting application.
I'm going to test it with HD2 Artemis v.42.
Thanks!
Tested with Artemis HD2 v42.0
It is working flawlessly with every soft key assignment!!!
The only bug I found is the icon of it, it is cutted in the right edge.
jolas, give me your theme and I'll fix it.
overall the app works. For whatever task mgr you use, make sure you put it into the exceptions list (otherwise arkswitch worked once, then errored).
I cannot get the windows long press or the home long press to do anything on my hd2. It doesn't error, it vibrates, but doesn't execute the .exe selected, tried a few of them.
edit: it works for some .exe's and not for others. Overall a very nice 1.0 program.
Here is the theme I use and the softkeys images too
Thanks!
jolas, please, attach all images for further testing.
I see softkeys have not standard size, that's why they are drawn incorrectly.

Two HD2 owners (Korand and AndrewSh) tested it, one with SE X2 (eugene38 from 4pda.ru) and me with SE X1. No issues with long presses. Are you sure you saved settings (silly question, but who knows)?

yes, I saved settings and even soft reset, could not get it to properly open commmgr.exe.

commmgr.exe.

It's not an HTC's Connection Manager, it's system service with no GUI.
You've just been wrong with the selected filename
You need to choose "CommManager.exe"
@ОП: где тема на 4pda? или обсуждение только тут?

Just like NeverGone\RU said, you have to use CommManager.exe instead of connmgr.exe

Here they are (because I didn't know which ones you needed, I put all inside zip).
thanks for your job
Problem solved
ultrashot, I figured out that the problem was originated by the button images I used in my theme (as you said, the size was incorrect).
I changed the size to the original's button size, and now everything is looking perfect!!!
Thank you for this great application!
Does it conflict with CHT2.0 Beta, man?

Run uTask settings and untick 'Vibrate' option...
Like i say this is MUST HAVE for all 6.5.3 Users.. befor i don`t like 6.5.3 Only because not have a good taskmanager with one single click to kill the process and when you are in some app and press X the application do not close only minimaze and this was So so bad and ugly.. NOW all this problems gone with this amazing uTask
Thank you very very much ultrashot
