[REQ] WM 6.5 today plugin for WM 6.1?

Is there some kinda plugin for the WM 6.1 to get the WM 6.5 today plugin/home screen? Perfect would be a cab which installs this as an object in the Today list!
Anyone knows where to find it - or make it?

Mmmm...
As far as I'm aware, Titanium (WM6.5 home screen) doesn't run on 6.1

Ummm...
Okay... Was kinda hoping some one would be able to "re-create" it as a today plugin for WM 6.1....! It is mostly grahics, so...

Not the case. I'd imagine there are dependancies on 6.5 that aren't compatible with 6.1. Not to mention it's not just 'mostly graphics'. That'd be the easiest bit. There'd be a ****-load of code crammed in that. Look at all the different things it can do.
Why don't you just flash a 6.5 ROM? It's pretty much retail quality as it is now. M$ are claiming 6.5 is done and we have the latest builds. It simply makes no sense why you'd want to go backwards for just the UI?

Not really worth the effort of making it since you could just go install 6.5
Or just wait a bit longer if the latest version we have isn't exactky complete.

Hehe, well, I definitely see your point. But all the WM6.5 ROMs for Diamond that I found, didn't seem to be working 100 % (but more like 90 %...).
But if it's as ready as you claim, I guess I'll get my ass going and upgrade! I believe it's possible to get TF3D for 6.5 as well?

Original T-Mobile 6.1 ROM problem

Hey guys,
I need the help of those who have the T-Mobile MDA Touch Plus with the original T-Mobile WM 6.1 ROM Update (preferable the English ROM).
My Touch Plus was updated on Saturday at T-Mobile Hungary with the English 6.1 ROM. Everything seems fine, but the icons in the Settings and Programs are much smaller, so there are now 4 icons in a row, not 3. It’s very annoying because some of the icons overlaps each other, and I liked much more the 3 icons in a row version. I wonder if it’s a bug in my T-Mo 6.1 ROM or all the 6.1 ROM are like this? If someone with the original T-Mobile UK 6.1 ROM could check, that would be great. Also, I’ve read somewhere, that in 6.1 you can turn off the recent program list. I cannot find where. I only found the HTC Large Start menu icon, but that was in WM 6.0 as well.
Thanks in advance.

Nope, T-Mobile calls the Touch Dual as Touch Plus.

Anyone?
I'm sure that I'm not the only one with a WM 6.1 Touch Dual...

..in the shipped rom htc sense 2.1 is used! Htc sense does not have the shortcuts @the home screen.
You didn't do anything wrong...
If you want the shortcuts you must flash a cooked rom!

...I was wondering the same..why dont we have the 3 short cuts on home screen with the official WM 6.5 for TD2 ??
and why using a cooked rom ? because it seems like the new HD2 will have the 3 shortcuts with original rom, hmmm maybe we will have somethin like an update on the offiial htc website for td2 ?

Shortcuts are in sense 2.5 and this is in some cooked roms only. Sense 2.5 was extracted by chefs from Leo rom I think. In stock wm6.5 there is manila (or sense) 2.1.

As has been said, Manila 2.5 (with the icons) was developed with for the next generation of phones in mind. Phones like the HD2 have better hardware to handle the extra funcionality. Remember there is a trade off between function and performance. If you have to have 2.5 then a custom ROM is your only option and to be fair most of them run better than we should expect considering that a TD2 doesn't have the power of a HD2. That's down to the skill of the people developing the custom ROMs, but for me running a Sense 2.1 ROM is a good compromise.
And i HATE the look of 2.5 so it's a no-brainer for me
Edit.. Just to add that the official WM6.5 update brings with it an outdated version, albeit 'official' version of Manila 2.1. The 'sense' version of 2.1 is something that again you will only get in a custom ROM. It is the official 2.1 with some updated components from 2.5 added to it. i.e Weather on the hometab clock. Depending on the chef you can find the balance between function and performance that suits you best. I'd personally prefer to have a Program tab (like in the Dutty R0 2.1 'Holy Grail' ROM that i use), than have icons cluttering up my home screen.

Thanks for your clarifications, I was wondering if there would be a possibility to use sense 2.1 but with old white and black old manila icons with the slider instead of the colored one in WM 6.5 ? like having a file cab to change that ? any info or help would be nice, thanks .

It's being looked into. Unfortunately it seems that most of the effort is being put into customising Sense 2.5 whereas Sense 2.1 is the ginger step-child which is being largely ignored. For the Sense 2.1 users, which i believe is the better option for the hardware spec of the TD2, we have to take what we are given. There are a variety of cooked ROMS using a 2.1 base that have a varying degree of 'Leo' apps cooked into them. (For instance i've seen some using a 2.5 HTC photo album on a 2.1 ROM)
I've been using MaxTTM to remove top and bottom curtains from the Sense 2.1 homescreen but finding 'components' to add to the app which do more than that is almost impossible for Sense 2.1. Again it seems that everybody is jumping aboard the 2.5 bandwagon. For example, if you are looking for a transparent slider that works with Sense 2.1 you can forget about apps like MaxTTM for now.

Clock and Weather WM6.1

Is it possible to have the combination clock\weather on your home screen with window mobile 6.1?

They've been working on that forever... so far it seems you need one of two things... the first being WM 6.5. Second either a Sense 2.1 OR manilla 2.5 rom running. I dont know if they have made any sense 2.1 or manilla 2.5 for wm 6.1. To date, other then flashing to a rom that has those things I mentioned above, there doesnt seem to be a way to get the clock you are asking for.

I should actually point out there ARE ways of having the weather clock... however NOT in Manilla running over a wm 6.1 stock rom. You could try one of the many other UI's out there though. I know that PointUi has this feature... well one of themes/plugins has that ability..... most notibly the Sense theme.

You should give this a go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063
Tried it myself and it runs very well indeed

how can i have sense (weather) on my tp2 using only winmo 6.1

Hi,
my os is still winmo 6.1 and i don't really want to upgrade to 6.5 yet (because the next g rom isnt out yet and i dont want a different version). but i do like the htc sense UI with the weather in the middle of the time animated and the colourful task icons.
i want something like this:

is it necessary to upgrade to 6.5 to have this? or can i have it and still have 6.1?
thanks

Jackos hybrid rom includes WM6.1 and Sense 2.1... He is also working on Sense 2.5 for WM6.1, I believe. Check it out, I tried and it's really stable. Only a couple minor bugs. But there's a ton of free RAM and it's really quick! Link below:

okay COOL! thanks
but will you tell me what kind of bugs are there? thanks again
AND another thing - will i be able to still keep my old touchflo3d interface (like i can choose either this jacko rom or the one i have now on the today settings), or will this completely change my interface? thanks

Jacko ROM rocks.. I have been using it intensively for a whole week...
and frankly... together with the Tarkim's Keyboard Configuration Apps... they save my TP2 from being dumped into the drawer... You must try it out if you want Sense on 6.1 (I don't want 6.5 too.. as I hate that stupid honeycomb interface which takes away my keyboard quick selection ...)

is there any way to get the sense with the weather without flashing a new rom?? if not is there any way to flash roms on a mac and or unlock my tp2 on a mac? what about backing up/syncing my tp2?
