Dear Hermes Chefs, has anyone cooked the cLaunch into a rom yet ?

Edited
Howdy,
I have seen all of the threads on the subject, and seen the proggy, and know the sensitivity around all this.

However, it obviously makes sense for someone to cook it so that the iphone looking front end is cooked into a good rom with the stability of a
schraps, or a black satin, etc.
I have tried setting it up separately, but I am a newbie, and have bricked 1 hermes already trying reset it after I screwed it up.
Has this not happened because of the sensitivity on the matter or something else?
Again looking for rom load that uses the apple looking screen already cooked to a rom for a hermes (HTC wm6)
Thanks in advance

obiviously I am referring to the fornt end picture per this url
http://mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/iPhone1.jpg

Claunch is a today plugin that launches applications. Why do you need it cooked in ?! What you're showing in your picture is a regular iPhone. What are you talking about exactly ?

Making the hermes look like an iphone
sorry
What I was trying to say is that they have the skins now to make the hermes (or I guess any wm6 phone) look like an iphone.
But I find the apps/skins not the easiest thing to use/get right/tweak.
Launch on start up etc.
So what I was trying to spit out was has anyone cooked the proggy/skin that does this into a rom so it doesn't to be tweaked.
cheers

I dont understand why this Iphone home screen suppose to be such good think.
The most important thinks that I need in my first look would be my appointments, outstanding task etc. Iphone screen just provides shortcuts for some applications. Well I may not get really what is it about.
Anyhow you can do such thing without any issues and any special rom. what you need is the Iphone icons (I am sure there are hundreds in the web) then the wisbar advance Desktop.

Iphone looking launch screen
Thanks Bulldog.
Love it or hate it, the simplicity of the iphone, skin, is it is good looking and functional.
It is also the benchmark that all other phones will be measured against for a long time (as the phone has not arrived outside the US yet).
Thanks for your tip but wisbar is not quite slick enough.
There are others but they too are not quite right.
I am sure someone has cooked it all in one.

It wouldn't be worth cooking claunch into rom. It's a tiny app, and the pleasure of it is customising it to launch the apps you want to launch.
I've written several guides for claunch, hunt around. But it's a simple app.
What might be useful is if someone makes an all-in-one iphone-alike pack. And those probably do exist. Burning claunch into ROM wouldn't be very helpful.

Any direction you can point thee would be appreciated .. thanks

Maybe I missed it, but here is a chance for all you old timers to show off your knowledge.
My Sprint Touch will be here later this week (Customer Retention...$249)
I've hacked my old Palm Treo, but this is my first HTC Windows setup.
First... which "upgrades" are the Must Haves, which ones are the good to have, and which should I stay away from?
Where do I find them (and the cabs)?
What program do I use to edit the Windows Registery? Can it be done from the Mac?
Any how to's laying around that us newbies should be reading before doing anything?
Basically, who wants to be a mentor to us new guys?
Any questions I missed but should have asked?

Well, can't really be a mentor but I can assure you that most of your answers can be found by utilizing the search option.

Must have upgrades new keyboard (Touchpal [free]), internet browser (Opera Mini [free]), reg editor (PHM [free]), new file exploere (Resco), HTC Home Customizer [free], Cube Config Tool [free], there are more but this is a good start. Many of them can be found here or at ppcgeeks.com.
PHM is a reg editor and is used from you phone. Don't have a make so don't know of one that is used on the mac to access the registry files on your phone. However many people use Total Commander for that on Windows PC's. No how to's lying around but I'll be happy to help answer questions as well as other members on this forum. Good luck!

Thanks
As the saying goes, the wise man is the one who answers a question with "I don't know, but I'll find out!"
So I don't know the right questions (or as the one responder said, search keywords) to ask the intelligent questions yet.
So, re do the keyboard, customise the cube, change the browser (didn't I hear there was a new one besides opera out?) And I can do the Reg edting from the phone itself, thus I"m on a Mac isn't a problem.
That's a very good start, thanks.

Also Total Commander is a great freeware replacement for Resco Explorer.
Also update Microsoft Live Search and/or get google maps.
TCPMP / Flash Bundle is a must for video apps (also freeware) and I like S2U2
Oh and yes you can change the registry from the phone.

Got My New HTC Touch Vogue

Alright people, I got my Vogue today off ebay, everything is all and well. I did the whole Clear Storage setting and now have a factory Vogue. Now I need yall's help, is there anything I need to do to make it better such as updating and if I need to get some programs and ect. I'm kinda new to this and not sure if there are any updates and such, So please help me :] It would be greatly appreciated. Also if possible please include a link where necessary.

Welcome to xda! You have the best device, in my opinion, for customizing/hacking.
Link for everything www.forum.xda-developers.com
Grab a 12-pack, and browse around, you will have a headache after seeing just a percentage of what you can do.

Thanks. Last night I was on the SprintUsers forum and saw how easy flashing the ROM to Rev A with GPS was and did it and well, I have GPS now haha. Is this like the only "official update" for the vogues? Also I use Sprint service.

Yeah, the WM v6.1 from HTC is the only official Sprint update for Vogue. But there are lots of custom ROMs available. Plus, there's a kitchen that allows you to cook up your own ROM. Check out PPC Geeks, where there's lots of action in their Vogue forum. Well, there used to be. It's still active, but taking a back seat to Diamond and Touch Pro. But Pro is not as small and lightweight and Diamond can't take microSD card, so Vogue's still #1 in my book. Here's a link:

Thanks. Are there any guides around here on changing the theme/shell or whatever it is called? Also I was in the theme/shell section in TheChampJT's sig and was wondering, do you need the certain programs that the shells are underneath?

programs for touch pro 2

i was just curious as to whether certain programs that im using for my touch pro 1 will work with the touch pro 2.
htorch,mortscript(used for random ringtones),s2u2,.net configuration tool,barcorama,cab xpress,clear temp,diamond tf3d configuration tool,diamond tv,diamond tweak (and if this will not work will sum1 please recommend a similar program designed for the vzw tp2),go news touch,microsoft live search,pandora (the version i have right now doesnt display properly so if theres a more appropriate one please recommend),personalizer(changes carrier name),ppcgeeks mobile(gotta have this),and the mobile youtube app. also, if anyone knows of any other useful apps that will definitely work for the touch pro 2 id love to give them a try...
the only other question i have regards the gps in the vzw tp2...my question is, is i download google maps (or anything that uses gps) will it automatically work or is the sumthing like the "bored" fix that ill have to do...id love to be able to use gps but i tried bored's fix on my touch pro 1 and couldnt get it to work...
any other recommendations pertaining to the tp2 would be greatly appreciated

Please don't make the same post in multiple forum sections.
Like mad_tunes said, just try the apps.
Although, you really should use common sense when dealing with apps that are device-specific. It doesn't make sense to install apps that tweak parts of the device that aren't there...

Please help...

Hey everyone,
First thing, YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Myself and a few mates/coworkers could not live with out this forum and your helpful hints, tips and .CAB's.
I am a Telstra Employee **Ducks for cover** (I work Back of house managing Data Base's for asset tracking so no insider goss available soz). I have had a HTC HD and now i have a HD2 (so worth the upgrade). Now myself and 2 other mates all have the HD2 and work for Telstra, We have debranded our HD2's and added many tweeking cabs and Apps from this wonderful site BUT we are really dieing for a Theme creator for HTC Sense, Telsta has given us (out of the goodness of their hearts) the gayest Blue theme ever! I want a Black one but im unable to work out how? We also are a little curiouse about some of the larger tweeks for the HD2 but are not willing to Flash our ROMs away from the standard Telstra ROMs avalible.
Can any one help? I see many great themes and Sense mods that others have created but no way how to do it myself.

first of all, you should never, under any circumstance, admit your a telstra employee, even if you think this site may be able to conceal your identity... madam karma knows who and where you are, and she is coming for you.
now that that's out of the way... as far as i know (moderate experience flashing winmo phones), the only way to customise the Sense interface is with a cooked ROM, with a built in modifier. note: im only assuming this because the only versions of M2D ive used before this HD2 were cooked into custom ROM. i may be wrong, but im just sharing my knoweledge.
also... you noted that you have de-branded your HD2... what exactly do you mean by that? have you just removed all the 'telstra/foxtel/bigpond' junk that telstra polute their phones with? if so... perhaps you can teach me something... is there a way to edit the links/shortcuts from the "apps & downloads" tab? i would like a dedicated program tab, but something i can edit the shortcuts. similar to the quick links on the home tab.
hope i helped.
good luck mate.

Oh ok, ummm... I quit and no longer work for Telstra?....!
By de branding i mean we have removed the fixed quick links and telstra tabs bloatware that all go to the m.bigpond site (little puddle as we call it), remapped the internet connection and modem settings so you dont have to go via m.Bigpond for everything. Added as many cusomising cabs as possible like Bg4all and Co0kies home tab (kudos to Co0kie for that one!!!), Bsb, Advance Config and basically every tweaking cab avalible on XDA and opnMarket. We have not been able to remap the links in the mysocial tab or the apps tab but we think we might be close?
Our big issues are that telstra hide alot of the options and advanced setup pages from us due to government legisation, Like the Camera sound; we dont have an option to disable it as it is Au law for digital cams to make an anoying sound (to prevent up-skirting). We are also a bit confused, everyone talks about cabs only being compatible with sense 2.5.1XXXXXXXXX but in our software info section it states that our Manila version is 1.0.19211622.1? I mean WTF is that all about!

ha ha, i was just playin with the telstra comment. it seems from your original post that you know and dislike telstra as much as anyone.
hmmm, ill have to look into some of the tweaks you have mentioned. particularly cookies home tab editor.
and yeah, as far as the sense versions go... im not sure why our "brand new" interface seems to be 1.5 versions behind everyone elses. its probably just a numbering thing - and might mean nothing. but im sure someone on this board wouldnt mind explaining it to you.
ill keep you posted if i find a way to edit the app links and such. its in these WINMO device's nature to keep evolving, so im sure there is a way.
cheers.
