Themes makes a mess? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi!
Ive tried the different brilliant themes posted in this forum
However, the space for my rom seems more and more decreasing.
I put all theme files into my internal storage, but every time i switch a theme, my rom storage suffers.
I want to get rid of unecesary files to clear it up again. it has moved down from like 40mb? to under 20 mb, and i got it two days ago.
I wont be able to try new skins if this is the alternative.
Anyone knwo an app that cleans up unused files for the diamond?
Thanks for your help, and excellent themes!
(currently using the Vista theme by Nisse)
Bra jobba mann!

OK and I ll say to you a secret after install some themes my time to enter windows directory increased from 2sec to 10sec...for first time I noticed it, now its about 4sec...

i Phone theme help?!

Ok, so i am using this really tight iPhone theme made with wisbar advance 2, and wisbar advance desktop.
Also, the slide 2 unlock is like version 2.16 or something. Ok. so here is my problems.
1. Comming back from the slider (and turning the phone on). "Notification Error.. Cannot execute \storage card\program file\lakeridge\wisbar advance desktop\wakeup.exe
2. I am loosing tons of battery life. I don't know what it is. I have the wisbar and everything with iphone theme running. i was at 100% this morning and about 8 hours later, 50%. Any way to change that. (I heard that the slider like is set to run in the background, or it is always running, so your screen never turns off... how do you fix that).
3. How can i change the slide 2 unlocks's settings? (i want the latest ones because they are better). but i don't know how to change it. There is not text file i can change. (like i want to turn off run in the background, and change the time format, and change the background image, change some other things like the thing that supposably eats up memory).
That's about it. The error and changing the slide 2 unlock.. if anybody knows please tell. I want to use this theme because its tight, but these problems like waisting tons of battery are annoying.
Thanks in advance.
Take a look at the readme.txt, it has a bunch of helpful information for the Slide2Unlock.
the read me tells you what the configurations mean..
Like turn animation on/off, would be 0 or 1.
except it does't say how to change them.
Try to install the wisbar softwares in the main memory of your device. I had the same problem before but since i moved (reinstalled) the softwares into my device memory (not in the removable one) the error notification disappeared.
Sorry my English is not so good...
Thanks I will definatly move my wisbar desktop and everything, yea, don't like that error message.
By the way, i downloaded a registry editor and changed the stuff with slide 2 unlock 2... so once i switch to main memory for the wisbar stuff... everything will work perfect thanks for the help.
Ummm... Yea, something is really weird now.
It still gives me the error that it cannot start the wakeup.exe in my storage card. I moved it to main memory, and deleted all the other folders for it in my storage card. hmmmm....
bump. anybody know how to fix the notification error sayign that it cannot excecute something in my storage card.. even though, i removed the program.. deleted everything else.. then reinstalled the program to main memory? really buggin me. if have the screen off for a while, and slide it.. it always give me the error.. and you can't do anything til you hit the tiny close button on it.
s2u2 .80 is working much better for me than slide2unlock. faster and a lot less memory loss. you should give it a shot.
im using s2u2 v .81 and same thing.
Ok, this is really messed up now. I thought you know, that it would be either wisbar advance 2, wisbar advance desktop, or s2u2... well i don't know what it is. I uninstalled all of them.. they are all off of my device right now, and i still get the error when i start up my phone. What is going on?
Seriously? is there some folders that i didn't delete or something (btw i deleted the "/Themes" folder, the "lakeridge" folder in the program files, and from before, the lakeridge folder in the storage card.).
somebody, its freakin me out?!
I think somewhere on the S2U posts, it says that it isn't compatible with WA2/3. Check out www.lakeridgesoftware.com too
i think i got the notification gone now. I installed pocket mechanic and searched for the path the notification it was givin me... and deleted it. haven't seen it since.
Okay guys... another thing wanted help on... If i push the weather button.. and go to a new page... how can i set it up to look like the iphone weather. Ive seen it done.. but can't figure out how to get it to work (they use like weatherpanel .... but like, i can't figure out how to customise it or anything). Btw, if you can get it to work with any other weather thing... that would work also.

[THE] Andys Halloween theme

Heres my first TF3D theme. I was going to change more of the icons/buttons etc but just didnt have the time....Feel free to make additions to it, you got a month left
If you dont know how to install .theme files search for tf3d config
btw, thx to NisseDILLIGAF for his blood lol
looks great man! i love the icons
Having trouble using this cool theme
I downloaded the file, I unzipped the file, I extracted the file to my PC. I use XP. I copied the extracted file to my phone's internal memory under Pictures and I can't see it when I look for it in my phone.
Also, I can't open it on my PC, it says it's not "a valid theme."
Any suggestions? Total NOOB question, I know, but that's what I am at this point with this phone.
Thanks! Ellen

Wow. Maybe I'm just cursed but nothing is working. I changed the name of the file as you suggested, still nothing. Windows claims it is not a valid theme file.
Then I downloaded Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0.6.7.CAB per your advice above, and I can't find anything to open THAT file, either.
I had the Instinct prior to this phone and I am afraid the Diamond is waay over my head with regard to tweaks. I sure would like to come up to speed, though. I am using the Sprint issued Diamond with the burgundy flat back. If that makes any difference.
Can anyone help me with this? I want so much to be able to tailor this phone with cool themes, etc.
Thanks! Ellen
i love this theme very much thx for sharing
Absolutely kicks butt! Sprint Diamond users, delete tweak.xml from TF3D folder to make app work.
I love your Theme!
Odd, though, the last number on my clock flips back and forth from old format to new theme. What do you suppose could be causing that?

Noobie to HTC Diamond and I have questions

hi all
Im new to here but also just purchased a HTC Diamond Touch. I previously had a P3600i.
Im really liking the new TF3D program however there are a couple of things that are driving me mental. EG - calender not showing upcoming events...
Now im not to good at the understanding of tweaking programs etc however is there a way I can have this?
Also I have SPB Mobile Shell and I used this for a while. I love this program however find that the battery life is drained within a day of using this (something TF3D doesnt do). I tried to add a new skin last night but it didnt work and now im wondering whether im doing something wrong.
Is someone able to give me step by step instructions on either how i can tweak TF3D to give me upcoming calender dates or how I can add different skins....
Man i really do sound new!!
Hi Noobie!
See this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197. It should tell you everything you need to know/have. I use it & it's great. I currently have an appointment on my today screen for 2 July.....
for themes.... some come in cab files and you should copy these to your internal storage and open it via file explorer
for .theme files.....
download TF3D configurator, download themes and put the .theme file into a folder somewhere on your internal storage..
when you open TF3D configurator, go to the second tab, and there's a drop down menu on the top right to select the folder where you're themes are, once you've selected a theme it'll give you the option to install it.... hey presto .... a new theme!
hope it helps
thanks so much! ill have a look at the other page and will have a go at the themes!!

[Q] N00b needs help installing themes

PLEASE HELP!!!!
I know people have started threads about being new and needing help installing themes, but none of them seem to work for me. I'm hoping someone can still help me out.
I just got a Touch Pro 2 for Sprint. OS = Windows Mobile 6.5
I'm trying to change themes. I've read numerous tutorials on many different sites and just can't seem to get it to work. I have HDWallS installed, but it never finds any wallpaper to load. I've tried placing .cab files in various locations on the phone for HDWallS to load, but they don't show up. All I see are folders like "Application Data" "ConnMgr" "Documents and Settings," etc.
I'm a bit confused by the whole thing quite frankly. Does HDWallS only change the wallpaper, and not the entire theme? If so, I guess I'm using the wrong program.
I've tried the tutorial here to no avail.
h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-pro-2/96452-hdwalls-walkthrough-tp2-please.html
I'd like to use one the themes on these 2 pages:
1:
h ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529576&page=7
or 2:
h ttp://forum.ppcgeeks.com/pocket-pc-themes/74764-popdog54s-icon-sets-wallpapers-s2u2-themes.html (scroll down about halfway to the S2U2 themes, i.e. Star Wars, Star Trek, Halloween, etc.)
For the first site, I thought I could just download the .cab file to the phone, run it, and it would be done. No such luck, nothing happens. Do I somehow need to use HDWallS with the cab file or something?
For the second site, I downloaded a program called S2U2, and installed it, but couldn't get the program to find/load any wallpapers.
How do I get these themes to work? Please help!!! Thanks in advance!!!!!
Bueller? Can some help, please?
I disabled touchflo under settings, ran the .cab file, but no dice. The theme doesnt show up under the themes list! I tried disabling touchflo, installing the .cab, restarting, and then restarting touchflo, but that didnt work either.
What am I missing?
This might sound stupid but have you reboot your phone after this?
The problem is that he isn't installing any themes. HDWalls is an application. It says right on the first post, "...but what you end up with is a flawless wallpaper, higher in resolution than the standard methods, same background on all tabs, and absolutely no glitches or lags in rotation that I have noticed." It's for putting high quality wallpaper as the backgrounds. The other link is for a lock screen application called S2U2. Those themes aren't installed by cab files normally. You generally just copy over the files in the \S2U2 folder and restart the program for it to take affect. Basically the OP's problem wasn't that he didn't read enough.

[ROM] fxdjacentyfxd's 6.1 clean ROM - feedback/beta tests

Hi all,
Since I was beta testing fxdj's 6.1 clean rom and different versions, I have created this thread. I have sent few feedbacks already in 6.5 thread but since that was cluttering too much for that particular ROM, I've decided to put everything here and if fxdj wants, he can continue his further developments and updates on this thread. I am happy to rename the thread if needed later on.
DOWNLOAD LINKS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO BETA-TEST THIS 6.1 ROM-IN-MAKING
All credit goes to:
Fxdj for cooking
Mangasora clean 6.1 rom
feropont's kitchen
So here is the feedback for 3 clean versions and 4th Version which is nearly release candidate 1.
Fxdj said: "Version 1 (click to download): Should have about 4MB more RAM, be stable but may be lagy?"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot – no issues
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 35 seconds
[*]Issues: After cab installation, the phone soft-resets and then freezes at Green Welcomehead screen. Battery had to be pulled out in order to restart the phone.
[*]Issues: The home button does not take me back to my today screen. I am not sure if in 6.1 ROMs the home button is meant to take me out of any program and bring me to today screen. I am presuming ideally that is what it should do. But in this rom, it's not doing that.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
[*]RAM after hard reset: 151.07 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
Fxdj said "Version 2 (click to download): Should have about 4MB more RAM, but I do not know it is stable in all conditions"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Longer boot. ‘Toshiba’ logo stays for longer time, don’t get scared. It goes away in few more seconds.
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 25-30 seconds
[*]Issues: The home button does not take me back to my today screen. I am not sure if in 6.1 ROMs the home button is meant to take me out of any program and bring me to today screen. I am presuming ideally that is what it should do. But in this rom, it's not doing that.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 151.83 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me. Although I don't see much difference between the first two versions, I think the second version is more snappier than first. The speed for both versions is outstanding.
Fxdj said: "Version 3 (click to download) is "connection" of both above. Should have about 8MB more ram"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 2 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – 25-30 seconds
Issues: Home button issue again – it doesn’t take us to ‘today’ screen.
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 155.61 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 330.12 mb
Comments: Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
But, BUT – yes BUT : This version, seems a little only a tad slower than first 2. You can only notice this slowness when you have quite a few programs running. e.g. I had ALL the start menu apps running i.e. “MULTI-TASKING” and I found it only a little slow (in microseconds) – I won’t call it slow personally.
Fxdj said: "Version 4 (click to download) is fixed for SPB icons, is RAM optimized, has HTC menus, working home key"
My beta test results are:
Flashed using fxdj sddl+ as .tsw file and it took 4 minutes to flash.
Boot status – Normal boot
Screen alignment – Very quick
Auto cab install – nearly 2 minutes
Issues: SPB icons, still blank (same 3 icons) - see screenshot
Issues: HTC Menu - Since I've not used it so often, I might be wrong. But I think the start menu isn't displaying correctly- see screenshot
Issues: Your tweak icons are all in start menu. I have noticed they were in a folder generally in other versions - see screenshot
Performed the hard reset once the phone was on
RAM after hard reset: 145.85 mb
[*]ROM after hard reset: 295.97 mb
Comments: Home button fix works perfectly now! Works very fast. No lags, no hangs, no freezes, all programs work as normal. Wasn’t able to test the call quality, but since it’s radio 1600, it is the one that’s worked the best for me.
PLEASE NOTE:
I have followed a specific "safe" flashing procedure:
Hard reset current ROM
FLASH STOCK
Hard reset stock ROM
FLASH NEW ROM
Hard reset NEW ROM
Use it, test it, abuse it.
GO TO STEP 1
Reserved for screen shots etc.
It might be a good idea if users interested in a 6.1 ROM from fxdj, will come forward and show their interest here. Any suggestions for how the rom could be etc, would help fxdj to tweak further. Also big cooks like MIRO could tie-up with fxdj if possible to get some sort of sense (compressed one if possible) ROMs with 6.1 OS (with 155mb RAM to play, I think SENSE will flow smooooth!)
hi drupad2drupad,
thank you for opening this thread!
I am very interested in 6.1 ROMs as it seems that I get a much better battery life than with 6.5.x.
I would love a sense ROM with transcriber as an input method possible (the miro transcriber fix only works for 6.5.x ROMs).
Further it is maybe possible to somehow include a nicer built in lock screen. The problem here is that if you sync with exchange server the security policy forces you to use OS PIN lock screen of 6.1 and it is kinda ugly.
regards

Of course I do not mind anybody other test the roms so You can share the links. More tests - more knowledge whether any of the roms is worthy to deal with in the future.
It should be added , the roms are based on Mangasora clean 6.1 rom so thanks Him for this rom and
prepared in feropont's kitchen so thanks Him too for His kitchen.

It is well known problem of home button in my roms . I guess I can fix it in the same way ( in any of these three roms ) I did it for my WM6.5 roms. I think there is something with OEM packages, I partially cleaned up few months ago when I started my adventures with tg01.
I am really astonished this version freezes. I hoped it would worked the best
It was one time freeze or every time it freezes ?
So we have 3 versions and question which should be the base for adding some software ( of course SPB shell as a first ).

The freeze with version 1 was only for once. It followed cab install process after flash. Once I removed battery and started my phone again, everything was normal then on. I re-flashed it later on, and then the problem was gone. Hence I dont think it was anything to do with the ROM. May be a bad flash? or me being impatient?
If I was to choose from all 3 version, I would choose definitely the ver3 as it's got highest FREE RAM. So when we use TF3D or SPB MS, we still would have plenty of free RAM. But it will be interesting to see if two things can be solved before:
a) home button (for which you already know the solution)
b) The 3 missing icons in settings after we install SPB MS on 6.1 ROMs. It's not just this rom, but all other 6.1 ROMs too, that when we intall SPB MS, the 3 icons in settings don't appear. This makes it 'appear' less functional.
I have tried SPB Shell in ver3 today and everything works perfectly normal. There is no lag as such, but I still feel it to be less smoother than ver 2.
Ver 2. was the smoothest in operation even with SPB MS on it. But since SPB is taking up to 12-14mb RAM when used with 3D acceleration, I think having extra RAM on ver 3. is beneficial.

Could You give me more details because I have only heard about mentioned problems but I do not know what is exactly on :
1) Mentioned 3 icons disappear after SPB Shell installation at all or rather we have three "standard" settings icons ( gears icons or similar )
2) For what settings are the icons responsible for ?
Because I like clunky methods to solve this or other problems, maybe I would be able to do any kind of patch.

Yes, it may be true and caused by other way of increasing of RAM.
It would be good any other person(s) test it but even if we not await any additiona tests, I will release cooked rom but people do not complain then, if any problems occure

I checked it under simulator. I installed there SPB Shell 3.5.5. WM6.1 was so called
"WM 6.1 professional"
What I noticed is :
1)
a) In pure system settings->system we have 15 icons
b) In settings->system under SPB we have 14 icons. There is no icon "Encryption" available in pure system settings
2)
a) In pure system settings->personal we have 8 icons
b) In settings->personal under SPB we have 8 icons too
3)
a) In pure system settings->connections we have 6 icons
b) In settings->connections under SPB we have 5 icons. There is no "USB to PC" available in pure system settings.
So I can see 2 not 3 missed icons. Are above missed icons the same as in real not simulated WM 6.1 ?

Hi,
The icons we are missing are:
System,
Personal and
Connection
The main icons. We get a text that says "system", "Personal" and "connection"
but on top of them, it's just empty space. When you hit that space, it takes us to respective sub-menus in SPB.
I guess it might be because 'system', 'personal' and 'connection' are 3 different tabs on normal 6.1 ROMS and hence have no icons of their own anyway.

I understand now. We have submenus but main three icons are absent - only texts say us what we have either "system" or "personal" or "connections".
Under simulator it looks better because instead any nice icon I have directory symbol connected with gear symbol. The same for all 3 mentioned icons.
So only problem seems to be how to change :
1) texts in Your case
2) this gear and directory symbols in simulator case
on any nice icons we want.
I will try to see what I can do with it. If under simulator it go ok, it should go ok in real system too.

Yes that's the exact problem!
I am more than happy to test version 4 with these changes, your magic and SPB Shell installed Also, is it possible to not have 'happy face' implementation and instead a 'black patch' that matches task bar colour? That way, even if by mistake a user was to click that top right corner, it would do nothing at all (in background obviously it will show this 'black patch' instead of smiley face).
This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=580568 shows a taskbar where such patch is applied. As I know you like making your own, but if not, you could cook this patch in.
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812337
By doing this, you will more or less create a 'SPB ROM' - but with your 'double tap' implementation - it will be safe for users to still get start menu back if they tap twice on top left corner.

Hi drupad.
I did some experiment under simulator and changed "personal" icon ( gear + directory 'book' ) to other icon so I think that in real system there should be no any problems with it. I only have to find nice .png icons for "personal", "connections" and "system".
Maybe You can give me them ? I do not like to deal with graphic, brrrrr .
What concerns "face" , I explained You few weeks ago in any other thread that "face" is absolutely not needed in 6.1 so I am not going to use it at all. As people say, locking WM start menu in WM6.1 gives nothing as far as increase of RAM amount is concerned so why utilize it at all ? Apart from SPB menu we will "get" natural simple menu . If anyone does not want to have such menu it can be "mapped" to SPB menu as I know , in SPB shell settings. Maybe I did not quite understand Your concept ?
Rest of my software will be applied of course.
What do You think about HTC enlarge menu here ? You know my attitude to HTC but as You know I fixed existing htc enlarge menu .cab ( so can treat it as my software ) and can apply it as a .cab to all my .cab files in auto cab install.
I hope my explanations make You pleased

Hi fxdj!
Yes that all makes sense! I keep forgetting that winmo start menu saves nothing on 6.1 !!
It would be real treat to get those 3 icons. Could it be used from 6.5 ROM? Because 6.5 rom has 3 icons for these. That way it might save you time from re-sizing etc.
I also wanted to ask you if you cook 0321 version generally for your ROMs or do you prefer 1600? I was reading through radio changing kitchen thread and couldn't figure out if 0321 was giving best call quality over all for everyone.
HTC Enlarge menu_fxdjmod - Yes!! That will save us from coming across any small icons at all!! There is a 'today theme' that makes the actual line spacing in 6.1 a bit more finger friendly. I will try to dig that cab for you and put some screen shots. That will go well with HTC Enlarge menu. That will give us an option to change 'today theme' + make overall 6.1 icons smoother and finger friendly like 6.5 but won't affect the speed and RAM.

I will see whether these are free files or rather icons in any dll(s)

I utilized 321 radio in the past but now I have 1600.
321 the best ? Hard to say . Some people have GPS problems with it
and I can ensure You it is buggy as far as battery charging is concerned.
I wrote about it in my WM6.5 thread. Even with orignal battery driver
user can not see any progress in charging. Only after system restart one can see that battery has been charged. Anyway, like in case of my 6.5 rom I can issue it with two radios - 321 and 1600

Hi.
drupad is my main tester and I sent Him today cooked rom for tests.
It should have the same functionality as my 6.5 rom. If anybody want to test it too ( maybe 3-pin methods will be required ) please let me know so I will publish link to it. drupad also has my permission to give link to anyone who will want it.

Thanks drupad.
It seems it is time I have to flash it myself so that to fix found errors
but I will see maybe it will not be needed.
But as I can see from screenshots, system menu seems to be enlarged ? Start menu is not displayed correctly
because in my oppinion I did mistake and one can see my three directories in the start menu not original items.
I can also see that software that should be in separate directories is all in "programs".
I can see files from my "WOWHD" directory and my "Tools" directory. What about "Power" directory ? Is it absent too
and its files are in programs directory like other files ?
And what about Your feelings ? Is this rom prospective and worthy to deal with it to fix it ? It seems the forum dies
Anyway, people will be very pleased because of free RAM
Can I ask You about whole rom registry ( via fdcTaskManager ) ? Maybe I will find there some answers .
Maybe I will be able to prepare something before 16:00 so that You could test it - if You feel like of course
And finally, could You execute fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe You have in \windows directory ? Tell me two things
after execution:
1) Did the software display any warning/error message
2) If it did not display anything , check whether "three settings" have still only descriptions without icons.

The 'power' directly comes as it self but not as an icon in 'Programs'. Its as an item in start menu.
I have attached whole start menu in screenshots with this one. You will notice that you can't see these icons when using without SPB. You can only see your 'loose' icons in Programs when we see through SPB menu.
In another screenshot - you can see that there is no 'fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe ' file in /Windows directory. Could this be the reason why the icons are missing? May be it din't cook the file?
Let me know what you need to do with the Registry and I will attach screenshots for them too!
What worries me is the absence of everyone in the forum. I am getting a feeling that this forum is dying slowly. Probably because it's 'upgrade' time for most users and everyone is moving to different handsets (hopefully not iPhones!) I have my upgrade due in few weeks too but I will be around in forums from time to time as I've literally loved TG01 since day 1!
radio 321 is the best, reasonable for uk compared to the other official ROMs. Good luck

Yes, I think it is my mistake. Intersting that what worked under 6.5 ( I mean copy to created directory ) does not work here but I fixed it. I hope

Exactly ! Two files ( maybe ) are missing. One fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.exe in \windows directory and fxdjWM61SPBIconsSettingsFix.lnk in \windows\startup directory ( can You check it ? ). I have problems with dsmeditor so maybe it is why it did not add the files to .dsm file.
I will do needed fixes tomorrow and I hope this version will be correct at last and I will be able to create new thread
and because I found my USB cable I will flash it too. Who knows, maybe it will be my favourite rom not 6.5.
I liked ffboy's 6.1 maybe I will like it too.

Yes, it is what I said some day that without enthusiasm of drupad and Oly this forum would die. On the other hand, many people seem to have their tg01 from relatively short time. Unfortunately, many people have them bricked irreversibly.
BTH. Is the upper bar "original" ? I mean it is the same as in Toshiba WM 6.1 system ? Mangasora ported sys from xx56 to xx57 and as I remember my tests of His rom, I did not like it too much. Is it possible to change upper bar to the same I have in WM 6.5 ?
I would not like to install any "android like" and others.
And why You do not like iPhone ? I do not like too it because .... I do not like it . The same as HTC software...

more people will still visit the forum. i have been here from the very start when the roms were first made. the forum use to be very big then! but it has shrunk considerably. if you take a quick look at the hd2 forum, see how big it is! there are always 1000+ people browsing the hd2 forums at a time! (view at xda index) many other forums have large support aswell! soon my tg01 can become my flashing phone when i get a new one, so i'll be able to beta test.. i was actually going to order my Desire S on sunday, but o2 changed the tariffs round...
but soon i can test for all cooks but as you know fxdj.. i am busy these few weeks
