Hi. New here so please be patient...just upgraded to WM6 and now phone is sluggish and keyboard occasionally locks on numbers and symbols...any suggestions for tweaking it?
Would be helpful to know what device you have and what version of WM 6 you just upgraded to....
The WIKI is always a good place to start, look at "Hack and Tweaks" That same page has loads of helpful info.
Hope that helps,
A lot of Hermes users who upgraded to wm6 sometimes get an unresponsive keyboard at times and sluggish application loading.
Also, does your keyboard lock on numbers while on a call? If so, that is a WM6 bug that Microsoft and/or HTC need to fix.
I'm sorry...newbie here. ...my phone is a cingular 8525...it now is working fine so i guess it just needed a minute to catch up the WM6 ...i will look at the wiki thingy and check out what you suggested Eric...thank you all for being kind to a noob...
sorry, Eric didn't suggest that Steven did...thank you Steven..

Any1 one tried that one?
qbiq, I think it works on WM5 (although it won't correctly hide the menu bar at the bottom for now, which wouldn't be very advisable anyway I guess). I wrote it for WM2003. However, hopefully this week I'll rewrite it for WM5, VGA and landscape. I've been busy finishing off a couple of other releases and my website, but I have to really get back to some real coding and finish this thing off!

thanks dude. give me a pm so i can beta test it
many roms of wm6 are around on known sites for specific models.is anything for our herald too?ive read that there is going to be an official update to wm6 of this model so there must be something around, even beta.
Mhhm, i couldn´t find anything by now....
Lets wait a little, i think HTC is going to release something for us, soon
No one cooking any roms for the Herald tho?
doesn't look like it, i looked into porting one of the wizard roms but i didnt get very far! its definately possible to flash your own roms though. Also its worth remembering that HTC have promised us wm6 roms before June. I would much rather have that than a pre-release wm6 rom as the ones that are avaliable for the wizard, hermes etc.
As far as i know, everyone is content with AKU 3.2

well i have used crossbow on my wizard and the only difference i see are pretty icons and html mail. i dont really care about either, and more importantly my herald is very stable, cant remember the last time i had to soft reset never mind hard reset. so thats why i can wait until htc do their thang!
I hear one handed uses on WM6 is way better and that windows update feature looks very promissing.
O2 may be releasing an HTC Herald as O2 XDA Terra, with WM6 on it.

HTC Herald (aka Tmo Wing)
I bought a T-Mobile Wing 2 days ago (obviously it has WM6 on it) Where-as it is stable - I am rather disappointed that they removed the native VoIP support - thus I am waiting for someone to cook a ROM and put it back in so I can do the Hybrid Cell/VoIP thing that I was Previously doing on my Wizard (MDA) - I still have my Wizard which I use strictly for VoIP at home.

Great to hear. Thanks
Find this from other forum. Work fine on my HTC Trinity.
More screenshot
oh its taing too much of real estate My screen area!
Does it support VGA?
Backlight working ?
Does the backlight button work with this release ? In the other version your device will freeze at bootup....anyone tested already ?
btw: seems to be the same version like in the other post....
Cheers
Edit:
Could not wait Just installed, no problems on my device (Artemis) and Backlight-button. Looks cool.
What i don't like: in the GUI-Config you can only add apps from the Programs-directory (for example: when you want to add solitaire (which is stored in "Games"), you need to move the shortcut into the Programs-Folder....or you need to add the registry-key in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts manually....or am i wrong ?
But in the end.... i think i stay with HTC Home....
Works on Artemis?!

It's interenting that you had no problems. I also installed on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and yes, it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Anybody tried this on a Touch?
The "other" Version (as petervbeck says) in the Hermes Forum doesn't work on the Touch.
I doesn't work on my Touch!
Working on Wizard
HTC Plus is Working on Wizard!
just 2 bugs:
when you select battery status in Customization and you tab on the symbol you go to wifi settings and backlight is not working

I'm using Tom's 4.1 full and as i said, no problems. But in fact- i like HTC Home more, but that's my opinion.... on my device i had no problem with hanging boots or something similar, i tested all the buttons....but not for a long time...then i switched back to HTC home...that's my expirience with Plus..
Cheers
How about a little credit where credit is due? This is the same version I posted in the Hermes forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326689
Today I posted an updated version that should help some people who had problems with it.
This tool was non-functional when I found it. I had to dissassemble the dlls to find out why the utility would not work (missing HTCImgCodec.dll).

Thanks! Keep the great work!

I just installed your cab on my mogul. It works great. But I decide to keep using HTC Home.

Is the "aplication launching pad" of HTC plus finger-scrollable, or the only way to scroll is by tapping on the arrow?
TIA
Can anyone confirm that it uses less memory than HTC Home?

nobody seems to answered earlier question, does this support vga?
cheers
how do you remove HTC plus!? I like it but it freezes my PPC6700 sometimes. I don't use it but I cannot remove it from the today settings menu. Thanks
I do not know if this plugin supports VGA. If you have a VGA device, try it out and let us know.

Hi,
sorry if this has been asked before, i searched but found nothing specific so here goes.
i have been asked by my bro-in-law to downgrade his t-mobile mda compact v to wm5 so he can use the apps he needs to use for his job as a sky satellite engineer.
apart from ruining a perfectly good phone, i'm afraid that it will run like poo and crash often.
so, is there a way to install a wm5 rom to this handset and where do i find a compatible rom?
any help is greatly appreciated
thanks
ave'
i dont think thats possible, but the apps he use should work in wm6 too.
i use apps from wm2003 and wm5 in wm6 so that wouldn't be a problem i think
cheers mate,
i will try that route and see how it goes.
ever tried looking for an old phone that still running wm5 at ebay?
I have all the bugs reported here and hate HTC for making all of us beta tesers. But the worst problem was actually it being useless for typing. The sensitivity .CAB really improved my HD2 experience. Still I dont get capital letters after each dot though, but its not that big irritation. Its a wonder why HTC choose to have this terrible service.
Is there a chance you could post it here? The rapidshare link does only work for paying customers atm
I found the capitalization issue to be because of HTC messaging when using a LEO based ROM on my Diamond 2. Removing/disabling HTC messaging and going back to Windows Messaging also removed that problem..... perhaps you can try that...
Also, if you do revert back to WM messaging app, you should be able to use Advanced Config 3.3 to set the sms sent notifications back on again.
Google "Remove HTC messaging"... the first post from XDA Developers will lead you to how to do this....
A direct cab link to the sensitivity cab can be found in post 2 of the hints and tips thread. it's a non RapidShare link. Also if you upgrade yo the new 1.48 ROM, the sensitivity of the keyboard has already been applied.
Missed that one, thanks!!
im typing.on my hd2 keyboard now and i find personally that this is the most fustrating keyboard ever created. the oversensitivity is just retarded and i dont understanf
d how they could release it this way. sometimes i press one key and end up with 5 charactrrs on screen.it is impossibke to write one message without making a mistake.
that feels good now ive let off some steam
ive seen above that the new rom fixes the sensitivity but i was about to install it but it says that it might remove some programs. im in the united kingdom and got this phone with tmobile. if i do the rom upgrade will i lose any programs like office, wifi router etc or anything else?

It's truly terrible out of the box but try this tweak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604831
Select the HTC_touchscreen_fix_v3.2_with_reduced_sentitivity.cab, install and then do a soft reset. Much better.
After a week of use, I am typing faster on my Leo with FingerKeyboard (with this 'silly' and 'oversensitive' screen) and making less mistakes than I was on my Blackstone with EnergyROM WM6.5, FingerKeyboard and increased screen sensitivity.
I am a bit apprehensive of upgrading from 1.43 ROM if the screen sensitivity has been lowered in newer versions.

I wouldn't bother upgrading ROMs until a definitive release is made. There isn't much to choose between the ROMs at the moment, none of them address the major shortcomings of the handset. Just install a few tweaks and wait patiently for a decent ROM to arrive. My opinion of course, YMMV etc.
guys, try my test version. please give me feedback after some time of using it. not 1 min.
thank you

The 1.48 ROM has all the stuff that some network providers take out, so if you've currently got an O2 or T-mobile ROM it will add programs, not remove them.
