hello guys. I was wondering how could i change the top bar of my screen ? The on where are shown Battery,Wi-fi,Clock etc. Can some1 gimme a link ?
There are quite a few taskbars out there you an use..
You will find them in either the HD2 WM6.5 Themes and apps section or the Windows Mobile Themes section.
Try searching in those forums, also check the sticky threads, there are sometimes a list of different mods available.
You need to make sure that you get the right version for the build of WM you are using.
6.5 Roms use different taskbars from 6.5.x Roms.
If your not sure which version you are using then you can find out depending on how you access your start menu.
6.5 - Acess the start menu from the top left corner of the screen
6.5.x - Access the start menu from the big button in the bottom left.
You need to make sure you get the right one or it will look messed up.
Hope that helps.

i Am sorry i am new to this forum and a little naive but what program are you people using to change the HTC pro cause i have the At&t fuze and i wish to change the backgroundpic the color of style bars and the buttons on the main screen that lead to favorites and other apps if someone could tell me this program that would be great
or if its not a program at least tell me the main files i need to replace
this is a very odd question.
you can change the themes ( Search "TouchFlo 3d Themes")
or
You can change the Rom (Check out the main in this forum section)
or
You can make your own roms from dumped roms.(info found here)
hope this helps, and hopeful you are ambitious, knowledgable and patient enough to start cooking it's always nice to seem more developers/chefs.
Sure, when Microsoft added the ability to rearrange the order of items in your start menu, I was happy. I use a vertical list and I like it sorted. But I have a lot of installed apps so doing it by hand is a pain at best.
So I spent a day and wrote the WM 6.5.1 Start Menu Sorter. It does just what it says, sorts your start menu. Just install the CAB and run the program.
[UPDATE]
I've release a new version of the sorter. I've really only changed 2 things.
You can now choose to sort Directories first

Thanks Joe, this will be very useful.
thanks JoeWilcox!
is it possible to have all the folder shortcuts on top instead of being at the bottom?
Thx, any experiences on HTC stock ROM WM 6.5 21869 (Topaz)?
Thank u JoeWilcox, this looks mighty handy !
I tried this on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 with Energy ROM 6.5 Leo and didn't do much. It definitely changed the order of icons in my Start Menu but they're not in alphabetical order. I ran it a couple times but it didn't change after the first time.
Working good for me, sorts in alphabetical order.
+ 1 for folders on top as i have to move them manually after sorting.
normal 6.5 might not be supported. I don't think they added reordering until 6.5.1.
Re-ordering works for 6.5 in that I can select an icon and move it up to the top, but that's it.

That's the way you do with shipped WM 6.5 without any tools.
May it sort by type first then by name? In result we will get all folders on the top, then files. folders and files will be still sorted by name but separately.
best regards
is there any update? it seems to only sort some of it or part of my start menu on build 21877

+ 1 .... that would make it perfect
Files and folders are already sorted seperately, I just weight files first.

Isn't that a build without the improved start menu. It might not work there, it might. I've never installed a build from that branch so I don't know. What sorted and what didnt?
It would be great to get the folders listed first, like on the PC.
Since your 'AwesomeStart.cab' also changes the look of the Settings location, do you think you could provide another cab that orgainizes it like this one does? TIA
How does it change the look of the settings tab. It shouldn't be affecting the icons at all.
When I choose settings within sense 2.5, it looks like normal (prior to when I ran your awesome cab). However, when I click the soft menu for all settings, it goes to a list view of the settings like it does for the start menu, except they aren't in aphabetical order.
Crash on my TD2.... IO exception...
Ok, looks like 'Start menu' is hard coded.... I have 'Menu Démarrer' on my French ROM

titanium is the default today screen GUI that you get bundled with the windows 6.5 which makes use of the new scrolling system in it...check the picture...
it consumes a little less RAM then manila but it isn't better than it imho...
and having the start menu button at the bottom doesn't require any external software...you get that with the newer 6.5.x builds i.e. the build number has to be something like 23xxx or higher...
you can check this in the specifications posted with the ROM you want to flash or if you're gonna cook for yourself you can pick up the latest builds from Duron's thread...
just keep searching for stuff or go through some thread on this amazing site if you want to know more...
the awesome senior members are extremely helpful!!
Thanks a lot dude for your help
i had been looking here a lot
could you give me the thread link for the titanium if possible
the titanium comes as a SYS package in the rom builds used in cooking...
i haven't run into it in the .cab form yet, themes for it however are available...
if you want to check the titanium UI out, i suggest flashing one of the WM 6.5 roms from the many posted in the forum..
just go through the thread posted by Karan, Krazy, Vaibhav, Duron, and all the other great chefs out here...
most of the rom threads have a [ROM] in front of the name...
here a link to a rom which has a start menu at the bottom like what you wanted...just flash it onto your device and enjoy!!

NOTE:- i hope your familiar with the flashing process, if you aren't i suggest going the Krazy's post

Hey Guys/Gals
Im still getting into the whole fuss and fun of playing aorund with my ROM on my HD2 and recently upgraded to the newest version (Nov10->Feb11) and am not sure how to actually get some of the settings/display back to how it previously was (getting used to it and all )
I installed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5044378&postcount=2 on my HD2 and noticed the image on the far left (Lock screen) is how i remember it but for the life of my i cant seem to get it back to how it looked...
I have the left right scoll option but just cant seem to find the setting to push/change to get it back to how it once was
I know its a basic question and option but i liked the options of having all the call/sms history with the swipe down then password layout.
I noticed that there have been Scene updates over the 2010/2011 change and im starting to think its been changed over with them... Does anyone know of an history section mabey with the last/pre scene release?
Currently i have installed
Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Feb.01.7z
Did you try and/or check all the options of CHT?
For the lockscreen, you have several options which you´ll find in CHTE.
If you´re not familiar with the great CHT solution and its editor, please check out the introduction in the original thread. All this is cooked into the ROM you´re using.
I was having a play around with it but before i flashed i was able to use the pin number option and still have the slide down to unlock...
hxxp://img211.imageshack.us/img211/5895/phonewa.jpg
This image shows the diffrences which are between the image and my phone with the rom...
THe more i look at it the more i think i wont be able to bring the settings back i think
The editor has 3 options and the one whihc looks the closest if the HD mini but still does not allow for pincodes so i read...
the lockscreen you are showing is the android lockscreen that is part of the rom. it is not the CHT lockscreen (though CHT has an android option as well.)
fyi, energy rom has 2 lockscreens - windows and android (part of all roms, whether CHT is present or not).
to use this make sure CHT lockscreen is disabled. then go to settings > other > change lockscreen. it will prompt you that it will soft reset and give you a message about what screen it will change to. i believe, as this is not CHT, you can use a pin code without a problem.
also, for future, this type of question would be best in the Energy rom thread - really people there would help you quite quickly.
cheers.

CHT is disabled and there is no "Other" option in the settings panel
I dont think it allowed me to post in there when i first tried but it seems to let me now :S
go to settings on the manila slider (not via the start menu).
then go to Other (miscellaneous). you will see change lock screen.
this is standard on energy roms (i have the same rom as you.)
and i forgot about the new user rules and posting; apologies.
Options i have is
AGPS Settings
Car Kit Mode
Start Menu Layout Switch
Format SD CArd
Device Info
Wide Device
Get Carrier Time
SMS Threading
Keylock Settings {Only allows me to set passwords and nothing else}
Uploader
Location Setting
Autodata COnfig
No lock screen settings
hmm. in the FAQ of the rom i see:
Q: How can I Revert back to Original WM LockScreen instead of the Android one?
A1: Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Switch Lockscreens.
does this work (it will switch between the 2)?
Fixed it !!! Needed 28244
Ok well i fixed it... (watched a youtube vid where they mentioned the bottom bottons showing onbly in 6.5.x not the std 6.5 and that lead me to the description stating the 6.5.x)
Seems the rom u have installed is 28244 were i had 21916...
Installed 28244 and it looks just like it did before lock screen and all eve the buttons on the bottom
So ill know now for future now which one to install
Its a shame its midnight now and i have to resetup my phone
All is well now..
Also i see our Lock Screen options now, using 28244
ya know, i saw that but thought his 6.5 roms had that option (never had used them though.) glad it is working.
and for next flash, look into xda_uc (i use xda_uc_net)...with CHTS...saves time and you are up and running in 20 minutes or so.
cheers.
Let me preface this by saying I have already searched multiple threads and spent 2+ hours on google to find an answer.
I am looking for a notification app like htc notification that will work with my lg incite (wqvga). I have tried the many ports of htc notification and they all either dont work at all or work but take over my entire taskbar so I cannot press the start button or press x to close a app.
Any suggestions?
Bump! Anybody?
What you want is an utility called ArkSwitch. Once you install it launch it, then goto Menu Options -> Activation field.
From here you can set the placement and the size of the field.
ArkSwitch is a task manager ; I am looking for a notification manager that is full screen and finger friendly. It does not have to launch on tapping the taskbar (but that would be nice) ; I just want a finger friendly way to veiw/dismiss my notifications.
Are you on WM 6.1? An upgrade to 6.5 alone might get you what you want. There are a few custom 6.1 & 6.5 ROMs & kitchens available, perhaps one of them has what you want cooked in. Theoretically, if you know what you're doing & have the right files, you could even cook your own ROM with the features you want. But if you've never cooked a ROM before, that's probably not the best path. Keep in mind, I don't have or know anything about the Incite.
Have you tried FingerSuite?
Alternately, maybe QuickMenu would work on top of the solutions you say take over your taskbar.
Finally, take a look at this thread, but I don't think it'll all work on WM 6.1. It's been a long time, but the "HTC Menu Enhancement Loader" linked in that thread may be enough on it's own. Also, this hack may give you more options for how long you can snooze reminders (but on top of a bunch of other hacks, it may not work, probably only for 6.5).
I don't have a computer running xp or 7- I'm stuck on vista so rom update is out of the question. None of those versions of htc notifications seem to work with 6.1 or wqvga. I guess the program I am looking for does not exist.
I am thinking I could use second today and ultimate launch together to sorta-kinda make a system that would work if I could find some nice looking notification plugins.
Any suggestions on this or other programs that might work would be appreciated!
Sorry, I don't know much about today plugins. iPhoneToday is popular, but I've never used it & don't know it's capabilities. Other than finding another pc to flash from, I guess google is your best option.
