Can some one point me into a direction that will allow me to customize the HD to make google maps a tab like in Manila2D?
I found a customizer with a search and installed it. HOwever, when I launched, I got an error that saying that the customizer uses a newer compactframe network. I thought this came with the newer ones?
Anyway, I tried searching the forum for help on the google map tab it I cant fine anything.
Thanks advance
BTW....please ignore the avatar and the Bottom "Device" .......I do have a Touch HD. Just havent update my id as of yet.

all i have seen on this topic (not specifically google maps) is that there is currently no way to run an app inside a tab. Not sure if there has been any progress made on it but last I heard it was deemed impossible for now. Not sure what manilla 2d google maps you are talking about though. Maybe you can share a link to some info on it?
Thanks Mallman. I will find that thread and link it here. In the Polaris forum, I think it was under udk syrius thread, someone posted a link to the Manilla2D customizer. from there someone added to the post by instructing to move the googlemaps.exe to the windows directory so the customizer can register the new googlemaps tabs.
So thats the reason why asked if it was possible with Manilla3d.
Thanks again for your post. I thought it was possible by now.

Does anyone know where I can get a CAB for this? I'm using the "official" WM6 AT&T ROM, if that makes a difference.
google it, like i've done more or less like htc home.cab , easy isn't it?
There's one knocking around here called 'Kaiser' I think.

Look at the windows mobile 6 section, there is a whole thread about all the kaiser apps with posted cabs like the 5 tab home plugin (It seems there's a 6 tab home plugin, official but doesnt work yet)
here it is
i've attached the five tab htc home plugin
remember to disabele the htc homeplugin before installation if you already have it installed
Find this from other forum. Work fine on my HTC Trinity.

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..

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).

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?

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.

mp3trimmer already comes WITH itje's rom. no need to install it again. which "social network engine" are you talking about?
you'll find all programs if you click "start" (upper left) and then "all programs" (lower left).
I used this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442154 to get the cabs and installed them. Cant find the option to trim MP3s at all. and i downloaded the Touch-It Blackstone Social Network engine. Any ideas?
Im hoping that by downloading the engine that the social networking sites would pop up under the internet tab where youtube is...you know where i mean?
oh, my mistake. you installed the cab and not his rom with manila cooked in...
okay, i'm sorry, but i never used stock rom with manila-cab. but i can tell you this:
- manila works best if cooked in, use a custom rom (i.e. itje's touch-it v.10. but there are many good roms, have a look in the rom-developing-part)
- the cab you used is from november 2008, there's a newer version out now
- "social engine": never saw it in the internet tab, it connects your contacts with a corresponding facebook-friend.
so, bottom line:
programs should show where i told you above, even in the cab i think. and: manila as a cab is slow, cooked-in it flies these days.

I am LOST, however up for installing whatever makes it run that little bit smoother! I like the look of manila i am using now but if there is an upto date one then i can give that a go.
I havent found the ROM you suggested but will keep looking, the first thread i came across (the main one) seems to have the download links removed, any ideas?
Thanks so far mate, youve been a star
Ahhhh think i have found the ROM now just waiting for the file to download now for the installation...

typing this from my mobile, so to keep it short:
- you need to apply "hard-spl" first to flash a custom rom (it's a sticky)
- if you're flashing itje's v.10.2, be aware that there is a bug for some people with sending sms. i NEVER had it though. also you'll need to apply 2 or 3 fixes.
- READ READ READ!
if you're going to flash ANY custom rom you'll have to learn a lot. "just install and everything's perfect" won't work. and everytime you flash a new rom you'll loose all data on your phone, so make backup first!!!
if you're willing to get into this - do it. it's worth it and it will really improve your x1. if you want to have everything working out of the box with many restrictions - apple makes such a device...
Ill let you know how i get on, im just loading 10.2 now so we shall see

have fun then.
hope you did a backup of your data - if not, don't come yelling if it's all gone...
edit: the fixes needed
since the thread on v10 is pretty much to read (it started as v7...), for starters the 3 fixes needed with this version.
- Advanced Network (found in itje's first post, under the dl-link for the rom itself)
- "v10.2_corrected_highlights.zip" (also posted by itje, somewhere in the thread, search for it)
extract the files in these two zips to your \windows-directory (on your x1) with total commander (comes with the rom)
- v10.2_smaberg_1_percent_battery.cab (install normally. this fixes a bug that the battery-meter always shows 100% full. alternatively you could install another icon-set from this forum. watch out if they're for WinMob 6.1 or 6.5 though!)
the cooked-in build of opera mobile 9.5 doesn't work with the hardware-keyboard of xperia. either install build 16194 (iit's from an official x1-rom) or try opera mobile 9.7 beta.
every other question you should ask in the thread of the rom you've chosen.
this should set you up, from here on it's all tweaking, lots of reading, learning and adding apps to your likeness.
i have a problem like this one: i installed the touch it manila cab and then i installed the touch it htc album but... i cannot find the program... what do i have to do?
EDIT: ok i found two exe files in the windows folder wich are : HTCAlbum.exe and AlbumSearch.exe, and when i run each of them i have HTC Album... btw the problem is that i have no text in the menus... what may be the problem?
Thanks for all the advice guys...im installed and up and running and so far so good, no issues at all, the sms seems to be working fine etc.
Ill apply the fixes as noted so far as and when i come across the issues!
Cheers again all

Hi guys i have t-mobile touch pro 2 with original rom and tmobile tp2 coming with pre installed google maps and when i check the version it was an old version and when i go to on my opera browser and type m.google.com/maps for downloading the new Google maps its giving me an and its saying on webpage (( sorry Google maps application dose not work on your Touch HD )) now i want to know are you guys have same issue ? is there anyway i can upgrade my Google map of my phone ? please guys help me out.
thank you
Yep, I also have this problem when attemptimg to update the version of google maps as well. I was under the impression that they have not created a version for the TP2 since it is so new to the US, but have no idea.
Google Maps
Which version of Google Maps are you trying to upgrade to? i just went through the IE browser and downloaded an update to Google Map to version 3.2.1 it was a version 2.2 something?
i updated to 3.2.1 no problem at all.
However, check the bing search application. I almost hate to say it, but it really is excellent and does voice recognitions as well!
I used Opera to attempt to update from 2.2 to 3.2.1. I also have a T-mobile branded TP2. Another weird things I have read is that the T-Mobile TPS is not called the Rhodium but the Tungsten. I am curious if this has something to do with it. I will attempt to update using IE instead of Opera to see if this resolves the issue.
EDIT: I just updated to version 3.2.1 using Internet Explorer instead of Opera and it worked perfectly. If Swagger did not state he used IE I would never have thought of this. Thanks!

don't pay attention to this stupid stuff. Its the Rhodium. Look on the inside of your battery compartment & it says Rhod230 or something like that.
Can both HTC Sense and WM Today pages coexist similar to the way SPB Shell works by have the Today page in the background?
There was a program called "TouchFlo Detacher" that I used on my Touch HD. Now I know this won't work with Sense, as it's designed to work with TouchFlo, but I'd imagine that it would be a simple change to put in the relevant class names for the Sense UI.
It replaced one of your softkeys with a toggle button so you could flip between TouchFlo and Today, and it was VERY fast! (It didn't close and later re-open TouchFlo - it simply hides it as Today is always in the background.)
Have a search for TouchFlo Detacher and ask the author if he'd be interested. He may ask you to beta test it for him
Edit:
Here you go - I found it for you...

I just recently installed M2D on my LG Incite and installed the communcations cab thing and got it to work but, after I had to hard reset and now I cannot figure out how to get the communcations tab to start working again. I dowloaded it onto my phone and just can find the icon under programs where it was before. Any help? Thanks!
