Did anyone already changed his device to iphonetheme?
Any bugs? Any issues using the other parts, like GPS, camera and stuf?
I was wondering if I could change it back to default status.
Please state any problem you have encountered. Is it a must have? Or a must not have for my
HTC Touch Cruise?
Somehow i can only think of this as a reasource hog and unneeded sh*t... It won't change the interface it's just an overlay... and won't make it faster or anything...

A simple but important question:
Do You changed your original ROM to a self-made?
Yes?
What ROM did You use? (Link would be fine)
why You flashed your ROM?
do you experience more performance?
known problems?
would You recommend it?
No?
do you think about doing it?
bad experience with doing it?
Yes, I changed.
1. Touch of HD 2.2 Full Edition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
2. Because I had to choose one and this seemed to be good choice. (And it was!
3. Yes, my hd seems to work faster.
4. So far I haven't noticed any problems. Sometimes the device won't show thumbnails of pictures in file explorer but it's not a big deal as you need just to change folder and all is fine.
5. Yes, it is worth testing. You should not be disappointed.
No:
1. I do think about changing rom but since I have customised and performance tweaked my HD already I wonder what a cooked rom will do. I know a cooked rom will likely perform better than official but what about a tweaked official with all your customisation and performance tweaks. What's the advantage?
2. Not tried yet.

Exactly my opinion! This post could be mine
What's the advantage? Want to know it too, thats why i opened this thread!
Not YET, but I will later. I would like to be completely familiar with the stock ROM first in order to be able to have a good feel on whether there is improvement.
Honestly, I'm so satisfied with the stock ROM already. Don't seem to experience the problems that some describe, such as it beign slow, etc. I have no freeze after about 10 day of use so far, I find it very very fast.
I do want to flash a cooked ROM because I hope to see improvements in a few areas:
a) inability to make SIM contact hiding registry change stick. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has fixed this.
b) occassional stutters in music playing. Not sure if this problem is fixed in cooked ROM.
c) When selecting album, the storage card entry will show up only after I have selected ALL, wait for a while, then go back to reselect. Even then, the Storage Card entry does not always show up. Not sure if any cooked ROM has fixed this yet.
d) I don't like having the battary icon on the TF3D taskbar. I like it to show the date/time instead. Not sure if cooked ROM has fixed this.
e) The standard ROM has switched off the screen orientation UI switch. One needs to switch it on before we're able to assign Rotate Screen to a hardware key. I understand that at least one of the cooked ROM has rectify this.
f) I never like HTC task manager, and had always used Wktask in the past. If the cooked ROM uses Wktask and disable HTC task manger on today screen, I would consider it a plus.
g) I don't like the default calculator skin either but I never use this simplistic calculator anyway. Having a proper skin is nice though. After trying out Panomaric Calc, I think I'm going to stick with it.
h) I wish pressing hardware button twice does not result in dialing the last dialed number as it does now. I know we can lock the device to prevent this from happening while the device is in our pocket. However, once the phone is unlocked, it is easy to dial the last number without me realising it. I wonder if any of the ROM addresses this issue.
i) TF3D color. I wish we have an easy way to frequently change color for every tab, not just the home tab. I also love to see the 3D glassy taskbar and bottom bar back. If anyone know of any ROM that has that, please share here. I know I can flash all of them and find out for myself, but would be nice to know from those who have already tried.
j) I wish the TF3D music program is able to assign songs to a playlist more efficiently. ATM, I have to show the music on the screen, then click menu/add to playlist. This is too laborious. Or perhaps there is an easier way that I'm unaware of?
That's all I can think of ATM. I'm sure it's a matter of time before some of the cooked ROMs make these improvements.
So, I definitely will flash, but don't know when and which ROM yet.
1. Dutty's v1.1 HD Rom
2. Because I'm a flash-a-holic, and Dutty's been making incredibly fast and stable roms for a long time. Based on new 1.19 official rom, which has bug fixes and Dutty has tweaked performance.
3. Hard to say. Except for the annoying freeze problem, I've been fairly happy all along. Mainly, I trust Dutty -- the hodge-podge of settings I was using didn't seem as stable.
4. Only one - once in a blue moon, closing a lot of programs individually & sequentially from the home screens top right task manager button will freeze the device. Another user said this was reproducable, and Dutty is tracking it down...
5. Oh, heck yeah!
In conclusion i must say, that im not convinced yet...
Someone who knows the device good enough should just Hard reset the device and customize and tweak it for his own, with the applications he or she likes and the tweaks he knows (!). This way he or she will get a device completly known by the user.
BackUp this state so you can go to it back everytime you want. TADAAAA you have YOUR personal perfect device ROM
Does anyone have this problem?
i've had my phone for about a month now, never use sony ericsson panel that much except when im using wifi, and yesterday i just notice a bug on it.
Go to options (bottom right) then go to the launcher tab. Whenever im trying to add a speed dial the screen would just shows that error reporting thing saying that paneloption.exe has encountered a problem or something.
Is this a bug?
i never use the speed dial thing, so it shouldnt really be a problem...im just curious to know the cause...
so far the software that i have installed are :
all the panels
Slick
Xperia tweak
HTC enlarge start menu
Garmin Mobile XTSchaaps advance configuration tools
any of those might be conflicting?
Something seems to be wrong with your phone but I can't say what it is.
The speed-dial is working without problems on my phone.
I use Xperia Tweak and HTC enlarge start menu too so these should not be conflicting.
Have you updated your firmware to R2A?
Maybe that would be a possible solution and it's always better running the latest software.
yeaa...
Its not that important of a problem, im just crious to find the answer.
I've never touch that area before (Speed dial in the launcher thing) and i was just surprised to see that it just gave me an error report thing.
Im still running the R1A, im still a bit affraid to try any custom ROM..
although itje's ROM might be tempting me in the future..
Just a quick question though, do i lose all my contacts, program, information etc when i upgrade my ROM to R2A?
and im still running the old schaap advance config tool 2.0.2.0, might that be the problem? i'll try to update it later...

You lose everything on the phone's memory when flashing to a new ROM.
All the things and programs on the storage card will still be there but you will have to make new links to the windows programs folder.
cheers mate...thanks for that...
i notice someone else is having same problem as me on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477611&page=2
maybe its just some bugs that sony needs to kinks out...but i doubt they'll do it cause they seems to abandon the panels thing now
Hi there,
i recently upgraded to the wm6.5 (21500) and i absolutely love it.
But i experienced some rather unpleasent slowdowns and temporary freezes when browsing the web/switching panels or writing messeges.
Sometimes the phone won't give any reaction for about 10-20 seconds and after that the CHome menu is lagging and the overall performance is really bad for some time.
I think this happens more often when turning the screen.
I tried several cache setting which did not solve the problem. other than that my chaches are optimizes for better performance.
Because i did not find anything useful about that i am asking you:
1. Am i the only one with that problem because i screwed something or is it "normal" on wm6.5?
2. Is there any way to fix it/any good "pure" wm6.5 rom?
Haven't had problems with WM 6.5 except for a few bugs with the CHome items that sometimes got screwed up, but no performance related issues. I actually thought it was faster/smoother than other 6.1 ROMs I tried
What ROM are you using?
I had 1.01.W4X.23-BB...and I say had cuz my phones out for repair
Thanks for your answer.
That is exactly the ROM i am using.
My Memory is always around 40-50% full, which seems quite ok.
I don't know what may have caused this... maybe my customized CHome.
I actually don't have any exotic software installed. Just some CHome customizations (switching off CHome won't change anything) and no performance-eating software.
I found out that the performance goes way down when entering a program (like calendar) and typing something into a text field in landscape mode (with the hardware keyboard). When switching back, it is all stuttering and even sumtimes theres the bottom bar in the middle of the screen like in vga mode.
If i just knew what the cause is. I don't want to hard-reset again xD
Can anybody help me to do this to have regular wm interface on my HD2?
Thank you,
Igor
Start -> Settings -> Right Softkey -> More.. -> Today -> Items
Many thanks!
If the usual Settings aren't reachable, in the settings tab of Sense rechter Softkey und dann More.
I need to completely disable Sense without flashing new ROM (I plan to flash custom ROM in 2-3 months, but not now), especially the phone app. I'm using Inesoft Address Book and sometimes it doesn't start and I'm forced to use the default installed crap . It's lovely during the call when you are in hurry and an application you know nothing about is waiting for your commands.
I have the 1.66 WWE stock ROM.
Need to completely disable HD2 user interface
Similar problem. I have the stock HD2 and I would prefer having the WM 6.5 user interface.
Let me clarify, I want the whole HTC HD2 user interface reverted back to WM 6.5 and not only the Today's Screen.
Is that even possible without getting a new ROM.
I have very little experience and time and don't feel comfortable playing around with flashing the ROM and radio.
Thanks in advance.
in the same menu where you uncheck HTC Sense
scroll up and enable Windows Default and soft reset
it uses the default windows applications which i find to actually be quite usable and much faster
Is there a default WM6.5 messaging program? I disabled Sense, but it still uses the HTC Messages program for my texts.

As always, there is a catch.
Thanks. This is very helpful. Sense does not set messages as read and causes many extra clicks to get to the right place...
Switch to windows default, the lesser evil one between Sense and Windows.
Right Softkey ??? Where... i don't see it.. help please

a soft key refers to the bottom of the screen, there are typically 2-3 "buttons..."
let me explain differently, don't look for a physical button, just look in the bottom right corner of your screen, you'll see the word MORE (once in settings) click it, you've just hit a "soft key"
I have a kumar ROM, I can't find where to disable sense. I need to disable to install the new messaging client. Anyone know where I can find it? It's not in the all settings section.
This is single handedly the best thing I have done to my HD2. This phone has come alive! Thanks for the how-to!
HD2 unresponsive screen want sense removed but how?
Hello all!
Hopefully, I am asking this question at the right place...
I sort of stumbled upon an apparently new (i.e. in excellent condition, no scratches, etc, almost like new) HD2 which will boot but brings me to a non responding touch screen. The hard keys work, I can even receive a phone call BUT I cannot use the touch screen which is unresponsive. Someone at work that I asked told me he just does not have the time to spend trying to fix it for me (even for a fee) but supposedly it is the HTC Sense feature that messes things up. He adviced me to remove sense and try the old fashioned windows look.
I want to try to remove sense but how can I do that when the screen does not work? The phone is recognized and syncs fine when I connect it to my PC using Windows Mobile Device Center. Is there a utility that will allow me from inside my PC's windows to disable "sense" on the HD2?
By reading this thread, it appears that the HD2 works better without it anyway! (and quite frankly I have no idea what sense is or what it is for, some kind of UI maybe?)
Thank you.
if it's software related then do hard reset or flash another ROM
I love this phone but this crashing its doing my head in. Ive heard so many people have this issue but no ones knows how to fix it. What happens is...
You recieve a txt you press the on button you swipe the unlock and it just sits there doing nothing. You have to pull the battery out and its a tad annoying when you have to take the case off to get to the battery cover.
I think its the HTC sense causing this as ive taken it off and im using spb mobile shell 3.5 and its working ok
Any help would be very grateful.
Cheers

Can't say fixed completely, but it's much better after performance tweak
I can't say that my TMOUSA HD2 never crashes anymore, but I get much better performance with very few crashes after implementing the following registry tweak which comes from the 3rd sticky link on the HD2 General page. Also, even with the tweak, SMS performance is not fluid:
*Leo Hints, Tips and Registry....
37. Boost Performance:
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 4096. Works for some and not for others though.
I have not flashed my ROM and do not plan to do so for some time because I don't want to get off of the stock ROM until I see a few more bugs worked out.
Please let me know if this registry change improves the crashing behavior because I might increase the CacheSize another 1 MB to see if the performance improves.
HTH
PS: I meant to also mention that my phone was doing the exact same thing as yours. I went back to TMO and they said it should probably be replaced but they didn't have any in stock and they didn't know when they were getting anymore in. After reviewing many of the posts from new purchasers (including yours), I think the new phone will have the same problem and the only way to fix it will be for the MFG to post a hotfix. So rather than losing the few apps and customizations I have already made, I'll just struggle along until a hotfix comes out.
