Hi
I use Handbase since years (Palm, Winmob). Now I have the new HTC HD2 (Leo). Date picker is not usable, because it seems too large. It shows only some days of the calendar, is not scrollable and the OK-button
can not be pressed. May be it is a scaling problem. In other
applications the HTC datepicker is normal scaled so it can be used. Is there a possibility to cheange the behaviour of the datepicker? Or is it possible to change datepicker (like iPhone style)?
Thanks for help
You will have to talk with Handbase about this as it is their code.
You have to remember that this is the first WVGA capacitive screen (with multi touch) on WM, technically WM doesn't support capactitive or multi touch - HTC did a little developing of their own. While there are some apps that were already 'touched', Resco Explorer for one, most are not and while they may work fine (and are usable) they should have their interfaces updated to take advantage of this new technology.
Hi there,
David Devaney, Jr. from DDH Software here.
We've received two reports of this problem already through our Support team. I have been testing this today to try to determine the problem. We had tested HanDBase on WM 6.5 before any devices were released and didn't encounter any usability problems. I double checked today that it would run on a WM 6.5 WVGA device using the emulators provided by Microsoft.
Based on my testing this likely has something to do with the Sense UI. I had no problems on the emulator with the Date Picker but then it uses the standard WM UI. So far I've not had any luck finding any development details on HTC's website or any special emulators from them. I actually came to this forum today to see if there was any information on developing for the Sense UI or if any other developers were having problems, as well as to see if a ROM was available that will work in the Emulator. I will search for those things so we can try to do some additional testing.
I am curious, since we don't have an HD2 here, if there is any setting to exclude certain applications from using the Sense UI. I know when Microsoft first added the ability to have larger screen resolutions there was a setting where you could tell the OS not to use that for certain applications that didn't yet support that.
Regards,
David Devaney, Jr.

No, it doesn't look like there's any way to disable the large date pickers. There are a couple of places in Inesoft Cash Organizer where dates are not directly enterable, and no-one has found any way to make the standard WM dialogs appear yet. In the case of Cash Organizer you can see the dialog but the value never makes it back to the date field...
I deactivated Sense UI and use the default Today screen with SPB PocketPlus but this issue seems to be because Sense UI is imbedded into the OS for some dialogs.
6.5 Rom that does work with Handbase
Hi to everyone - glad to come across this thread & see I was not the only one experiencing this problem. I have a Touch Pro2 or Rhodium & tried the following Roms - all had the same datepicker issue:
- [ROM][WWE] 24-Dec ● DeepShining v7 ● Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE | Leo 2.01 | WM 21887
- [ROM][24/DEC/09]CELL PRO SERIES[The Cell Evo V2][Cell Pro V9.5]UP NOW & Video Preview (this is a 2.1 ROM)
- [ROM][WWE] 24-Dec ● DeepShining v7 ● Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE | Leo 2.01 | WM 21887
- |STABLE-FAST-PRO|ROM|21885,28014|Josh's New PerfectBlack 1.7-FINAL!|12-26|Sense 2.1| & Test 3 & 4 versions
- [ROM][WWE]|27-12-09|Rhodium_AF|HTC Sense 2.5 LANDSCAPE|LEO 2.XX|WM65 21887|ONLINE| (may have been an earlier dated rom)
- Miri WM65 21885 V9.0 Manila 2.5
The only newer ROM (either Sense 2.1 or 2.5) I could find that didn't have this problem was the Miri WM 6.5 21885 :: MANILA 2.1 :: V 7.0. The date picker is normal. With the non-working ROMS I tried every registry font change I could find with no effect.
Hope this information helps a bit.

The most important thing is "manila control": you can choose between manila2d and real htc home (no 2ndtoday etc) with finger movement as if it was the cube. it starts with htc home and once manila2d has started it keeps in memory (unless u close the app)
I just put this information and not the rom as I havent asked for permission
Installed
Works great, hope they release it as a cab so we can incorporate that on other roms
Only spanish bro ???
Very nice
very cool....
wwe version would be nice!
image of "manila control"
it´an animated gif but ..cannot post it so it can be seen animated..
go to developers page to see it in action
The best rom i've tried (for my needs). I use it for over a week. Shurely a worth alternative to the roms found here on xda-devs. The greatest difference to the roms here (with M2D - amine, syrius, khanX, ..) is (in my eyes) that the xuo X-2 starts with a free program memory of 101,46MB. After booting (and after starting some apps like s2u2, WkTask) i have 61MB free - with manila2d on the homescreen. This is great, in comparision to other roms. I have to say that I didn't try such a rom named above, because of the few amount of free ram. Previously I've used different roms from swtos, but there were ever small problems together with the apps I use.
Rom version is 5.2.20721 1.4.0.
Sorry for my english..
These are the plugins i've managed to run on my ipaq , which were not intended to run on it:
All of them were downloaded from this forum, so many many thanks to the developers. For now i'll be providing feedback as i don't have paypal so can't donate anything else...
-Touch Flo (Manila) 2d
-Samsung Touch Wiz - with the limitations of the non WQVGA screen - cannot minimize the side bar.
-Fe Widgets - working very stable, axcept for the weather plugin - frameworks reports error. It's due to the ROM i'm using - the russian one with manila in it v1.6.
I think there won't be problems with the original hp rom.
Throttle launcher with touchflo 3d-ish interface - just installed it. Feedback later.
I'll be posting screenshots and detailed feedback later.
well. then?

HyperROM Series: Which HyperROM are YOU?
May I request that everyone read the official apology to Chainfire which you can find in this post.
I have decided to put the development of the HyperROM on hold indefinitely. I currently have to realign the available time I have from work to a new and exciting responsibility: homeschooling my son and daughter (pre-school)
The time I used to have developing and making HyperROM better is now homeschooling time for my kids.
I would like to thank all who have found the HyperROM (and its variants) useful for their personal computing.
As soon as everything is sorted out, you should see me back on XDA.

Fantastic work! I have been waiting for too long for a CleanEX rom that is working with GTX theme, thank you very much. Will you by any chance making the same with a 6.5 rom? If not, 6.5.x will be just sweet
Never got to thank the whole CleanEX team, i am honestly very impressed with your work, keep it up guys!
Are you going to release CleanEX 6.5 ROM with preloaded GTX Theme?

ask pongster, im sure he wont mind, but give us a couple of days to get our roms all sorted out and online
I have used several ROMs with sense 2.5 for its quick link facility. I use lots of Medical tools with my HD. But as HD is well outside the capabilities for Sense 2.5 was designed. And I feel it is very slow for everyday use sometimes.
I have used Win 6.5 Titanium with SPB Mobile shell. There are many themes which simulate sense 2.5 with shortcut functionality. For example HTC PURE STYLE 3 from Mobilecustom.fr. There are even win Mobile 7 like skins from Proplus.
I feel some speed gain but not sure whether it is my mind due to bias.
Which combo is faster???? Post your experiences!
using additional application such as SPB Mobile Shell will slow down your HD because of additional RAM consumption. i think standard ROM (no addtional application installed when there're existing application which do the same function) will speed up your HD.
wrong section needs to go in general.
try NRGZ Standard Reference ROM - it's wm6.5+standard sense 2.5
then just install GFXBoost, and get BSB Tweaks and tick all of the graphics boosting boxes, and it should be quite zippy. but try different ROMs - different chefs focus on different things, some on features, others on speed. but there are definitely builds out there with speed.
personally, MS3.5.3 is way too laggy and the features, skins and themes aren't as elegant as Sense 2.5...there is always something not quite as good as sense.
for example - the calendar is not as flexible, smooth or as nice to use as the Sense 2.5 version.
Is there a way to implement quick links or shortcuts in Home page of manila 2.1?
black new
tries Black new V 2.5 Manilla fastest ROM that I had 38%
Winner is SPB Shell. Down load a rom without HTC Sense or manila. Test it by yourself. I got at least 100m RAM left after SPB Shell (70-80m with manila) .
You can also customize the short cuts for it (3 to 5 pages with 10 to 15 shortcuts for each page. It should be enough for your needs.
I have tried few ROMs up to now including Energy, Stonehedge, Kenia and KWBR. I always felt that SPB MS with WIN 6.5 is quite snappy and fast though I love the interface of Sense more.
I've been using Mobile Shell 3.5.5 lately with kwbr's WM6.5 and Manila 2.1 (no Sense) - very impressed. So impressed in fact, that I'm looking for a snappy WM6.1 ROM to use it on as I think this would cover everything I'm looking for!
You should try KWBR's titanium ROM with SPB MS. No point installing a ROM with manila unless you want to switch between two interfaces.
ok, this is useless thread number 23984723492...
As you can see from the responces, there are a lot of possible good and fast roms.
However you just need to try and see what you like best!
Some people say it is 'fast' when it is 'smooth' others sit by their rom with a stopwatch to determen if it's fast...
Oh, and this is not related to rom development, just to the HD so -> subforum general!
Hi can you tell me which is the fastest ROM for our HDs .Doesn't matter 6.1 or 6.5. I just want fast ROM with weather on the homescreen. Of course I prefer 6.5 with sense but I don't know does it fast as 6.1. If there is WinMo 6.1 with interface Sense 2.5 and it's fast like touch flo for example will be great.
Thank you!

the fastest rom is the stock rom wm6.1 with touchflo 3d 1.3
this touchflo version only has a weather tab, no weather on home screen. also not all sense 2.1 versions have home screen weather.
if there were such a thing as a perfect blackstone rom, no other chef could be bothered building own versions, the blackstone classically is a device on the line. it has a high display resolution, yet not the powerful processor, most new devices with that resolution have.
so, you have to pick, either speed OR a lot of features.
you can try cloudy 0.7 for instance. while on the one hand, it has not been updated in almost a year (also, as in most roms, the twitter tab does not work anymore). but it combines wm6.1 with sense 2.5 and it is relatively fast.
but if you are actually all about the speed of the rom, you might want to try a stock rom, and simply move the weather tab to the 2nd position, right next to the home screen. it isnt't too much work to swipe over the display once to check the weather. just think of iphone users, who with one swipe only just unlocked their phone and are hardly ready to access all kinds of information without launching 267 apps
Fast rom and ram
Chef_Tony,
First of all sorry for going off topic i just have a few questions
1. Does more free Ram makes a rom faster. i mean if a rom have 100 MB free ram on start is faster then a ROM having 60 mb free ram.
2. I dont use manila, sense, titanium or any today screen, just resco today items, i use to have xperia x1 b4 my hd n there was this rom by laurenti, which have 160mb free ram.( x1 have 32 less ram then HD) and on my hd its only 100 mb(blackstonehedge v6.5) with sense, manila turn off, only resco today items, is there any ultra light rom like laurentis for hd(6.5 or 6.5.x bottom start button, X button closes app.)
3. if is there isnt any rom( i have searched, but might have missed) , can you please cook such a rom.
PS.
was using - Build 23134 - Laurenti v2 (new AKU 5309). from this thread on my x1

1. not necessarily. less ram usage extends your battery life and has more potential for running apps.
it does affect the speed, when the operating system, for the sake of the example, let's say wm6.5.5 with CHT 2.0, hogs all the ram and cpu power, trying to run a 3d game or watch hi-def video might get annoyingly slow.
but the general speed of the GUI cannot be read from ram or cpu usage alone. when picking a rom you should have a look, where certain packages come from. when a rom mostly consists of leo packages, you will see that it is quite slow, because the leo with 1ghz has much better resources. generally, packs from devices closer to the blackstone, like the rhodium, run slightly faster.
2. so much for the theory. if you don't use any of the built-in home screen extensions, you can pick practically any rom around here. either you go with wm6.1 for more speed, or you pick something newer for more finger-friendliness. in contrast to most other users, you don't need to choose your rom for the manila version. just have a look at the integrated apps, because that can really save you time, setting up the device.
3. there are several ultra-light roms:
- one would be a stock rom, it comes with almost no integrated apps and you'd only need to disable touchflo and you're good to go.
- there is also raving rom wm6.1, which comes without manila or sense, just a custom home screen and a very little ram footprint.
- in the energy roms thread, at the very bottom, you'll find a titanium rom, which is meant for users of own GUI solutions, like spb mobile shell or you resco home. but i wouldn't exactly call it ultra-light, because it comes with a lot of integrated apps.
p.s. despite my user name and avatar, i am not a rom chef, or any chef for that matter, it is just a parody of one of the most annoying persons in late night infomercials
so unfortunately i can't cook you a custom rom.
Thank you very much for a quick reply,
look like i black stonehendge is best option for me know, really appreciated your detailed answers.
thanks again
