Customize Windows Default Theme on 6.5? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

I think the Windows Default (Zune-esque) interface for WM 6.5 is pretty neat, however, is there a way to customize (move/add/delete) the home screen list (Music, etc...)

There's an app in Windows Marketplace called "Home Screen Customizer" that does this.
There is also an entire forum on xda dedicated to this here. Search for "Showaco Chome Editor".

Facebook Help please...
Great thanks for the link, I have the ZuneHD and I want my phone to be just like it! I did search the forums/freeware but I cannot find a good .cab that will allow sync between facebook and tp2 and show updates like TF3D if I had a good contact program that could do this I wouldn't need TF3D!
Also was I the only one to notice that once you upgrade to 6.5 you lose the ability to sync birthdays?
So basically I need a cab that syncs birthdays and pics with facebook... like TF3D on the TmoUS stock TF3D ROM oh yeah and has a favorites screen.
Do I ask for too much... I am rather picky but who customizes and is not?

looking for better "touch" on calendar

Hi there,
the calendar application on the HTC Touch Diamond is nice and I use it a lot. However, I really miss the "touch features" that this phone offers in the other TouchFlow3D apps like viewing/browsing media such as Pictures, Music and People.
I want to use my thumb to 'slide' to the next day, or the next week or whatever. Is it possible to achieve this in the standard Calender on the touch diamond (windows mobile 6.1), or is there another calendar application out there which I should install?
Cheers!
Yes, there is another application called thumbcal. You can even connect the calender-link on manila home to thumbcal using SSMapa.
http://www.thumbapps.com/pages/home/thumbcal.php
Thumbcal is realy finger-friendly and it works perfect for me, but you only get a 14day trial for free on the legal way...
Cool
I'll try that, cheers!

New Manila Screenshots !!

Hi,
I just watched the video from the new HTC Hero:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/htc-hero-details-begin-leaking-from-htcs-own-website/
It is Android, but most of the screen is Manila, copied and slighty re-designed from Windows mobile, so 90 percent is the actual diamond 2. But if you look carefully, you see some NEW additions:
-Advanced Image viewer with mirror plane, facebook and flickr added
-Advanced music player, new design
-Advanced calendar with agenda view
-Footstep added
-NEW Email client
-NEW Stopwatch
-NEW Timer
if the copy lots of features from windows mobile, then I expect HTC to copy those new Features back to windows mobile manila.
Just checked out the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kshGq8COSiM
This TF3D like UI looks awesome!!! I just need to buy this phone! I always thought android looked boring as hell but the HERO will be my first android device for sure. It's beautiful!!!
The Name of the new interface ist "sense" afaik!
i really dont like it X_X the small ball on the phone
Not keen on the phone but the UI looks very interesting, would love to have this on my Touch Diamond but is it possible as the Hero is Android?
LOL,
Looks more like the gadgets you could insert in the Android itself.
I think only feature is the scroll bar. That is the trick that we can think it's a new manilla
look here http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5239
a porting to windows mobile is planned.
Since this is regarding an Android device, and not actually posting an application, moving out of Dev and Hack.
i can't wait to see how htc will merge Manila and new wm 6.5 titanium UI .. I hope the new Interface merge tabs and titanium plugins that can be added to multiple manila pages

wow...really like the UI
Love the UI, but here is probably why it is so difficult to run Hero ROMs with Rosie on our Dreams.
"512MB/288MB ROM/RAM"
More ROM, and nearly 100 more MB of RAM than the G1.
is it possible to port this on G2??
i think it is because it is the same device and same os.....

I had to switch to the Ozone from the Alltel Palm Treo Pro in order to make a change to my rate plan. Much faster phone than the Treo Pro. There are a few setbacks.
Let's see, what do I have installed?
Microsoft's Bing App
Facebook App
Google Maps
Youtube App
Thinking about Skyfire or Opera Mini
CHome Configuration (can't edit new panels... bummer)
I got my yahoo, gmail, & hotmail accounts synced with no problems.
I'd like to find a new alarm clock. Being able to create new documents would be sweet too.
Good phone. WinMo 6.5 could make it better.

Weather watcher is what I use, you have to use Chome Config to create a custom panel for it if you want the weather on your home screen though

I didn't do anything special. Just installed NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.3 + Monitor HTC Version.cab and chose the appropriate Home Screen layout. Awesome app, I love it. Much better than HTCWeather.
My problem is when I try to modify NRG's Home Screen to add the HTC Panels, they simply don't show up. Chome Config shows them as active, just not there. I'm assuming we need an updated version to work with updated HTC Panels on the Ozone.

i ran into the same issue with NRG's weather.
i guess we're just gonna have to wait and see whats produced..

Windows Mobile 6.5 Update Help

So I updated my Dash 3g to Windows Mobile 6.5 from the T Mobile WM Upgrade and I really am not satisfied. I do not see anything new except for this Microsoft junk that I do not use, so who can give me a list of what is new in WM6.5 and what themes/ new updates(6.5.3?) are better than this one?
I agree with you.. The Rom for T-Mobile.com is a garage. i am looking to the previous one I downloaded for this website. For anyone, please aviod downloading T-Mobile's official 6.5 verison.(it's 6.1 with additional programs like MSN Weather and MSN Money)....the only thing it has is "Visual Voicemail". I didn't try but hopefully someone can explain how it works and is it worth it.

It amazes me how anyone with an internet connection can be oblivious:
1. WM 6.5 for Standard (non touch) does not offer a UI (user interface) update. This has been known for, well about a year and a half. So yeah, it looks just like WM 6.1
2. The 'new programs' you mentioned (MSN Weather and MSN Money) are called widgets, basically internet apps wrapped up all nice and neat into a small package for you. Those pre-installed are merely there to show you the possibilities of widgets. You can find and install new widgets on the internet.
3. Visual voice mail is transcribed mail, voicemail you can hear, download, share, read. Think a 'dumber' version of Google Voice.
4. Most of WM 6.5 improvements are 'under the hood' meaning they are there but you just dont see them.
And last but not least. Stock ROMS suck.. period. But that does not change what WM 6.5 for Standard devices is.. it in reality it should have been called WM 6.2 but we dont get to name the updates do we

1.It still sucks...I would recommend no one to download the new software from T-Mobile
2. I still do not care for these new internet apps called "widgets".
3. I don't have Google Voice but Visual Voicemail sounds gay and nothing important.
And LAST, I regret downloading this ROM and should have research other comments or opinion on the ROM. I am going back to the previous STOCK ROMS from this site.

....are you kidding?
That's one basic function of windows mobile, and if you ever need to look for an appointment in the past ("when did I see that person last in my office?"), or for a phone number in your contact ("who's this number who called me on the other phone?"), what are you going to use? That cannot be removed, absolutely
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations.
Also in my opinion could be removed the following:
cleanram
bsbtweaks
htc flashlight
jblend
bubble breaker
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better)
windows media (is that possible? coreplayer/tcpmp are better)
xdashutdown
All these applications could be reinstalled if you need; since everyone needs to install already a lot of cabs after every flash, these cabs can be easily added to the list. Also, installing these apps yourself, you can see them in the "remove applications" dialogue, so it's easier to update them
remove:
-streaming Media
-advtaskmg
-bsb
-pim bacup
-shake and save
-windows live
-internet explorer
-htc flash ligt
-Tab Azioni
-Footprint
BUT:don't remove tab document!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Only READER!!!!!!!!!!!!
ADD:
-New opera
-facebook tab
CHG:
-Xda shutdown skin

I almost agree with your remove list... but it makes no sense to leave document tab. That tab is already remove in simple "axlor lite", so it must be also removed in axlor Xlite...
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace opera 9.7 with opera 10. If you keep opera 9.7 in the rom, and install also opera 10, there are at least 7MB wasted because you cannot remove opera 9.7 if it's cooked inside.
Or maybe, remove opera alltogether, so anyone can choose to install his favourite, and can remove it afterwards from "remove applications" if needed
Also, I used footprints once... maybe it's not that useless, but if there is a free alternative application that does the same thing and is not included in the manila, maybe is better, otherwise probably it's better to keep it
The concept of an XLite version is this: remove everything that is possible to remove, so you have the maximum possible free space. After that, you can install all the applications you need by yourself, but in that case you have those applications listed in "remove apps" and can more easily manage them.
Will you use default iconset in this XLite?

Totally agree with you: removing search function is MADNESS
Anyway, I suggest removing also the "Azioni" tab with economical quotations i agree... eventually Twitter tab also if is possibile.
cleanram totally agree
bsbtweaks totally agree
htc flashlight sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
jblend sometime useful, but if can be installed via cab is better to remove
bubble breaker totally agree
internet explorer (is that possible? opera is better i think IE cannot be removed, but integrate Opera 10 with flash builtin instead 9.7 can be a good option)
windows media but i think Media Player cannot be removed
xdashutdown almost essential

I've inserted my opionions in quote (green: i agree - red disagree)
Imho it's a good idea to leave the Memory card format utility also.
Removing Office and Remote desktop is not a good idea for me
The best option is to remove only programs provided also via standard cab installer, making this the first "customized by users" rom, like a tailored tuxedo
removing also pim backup, shake and save,windows live it's a god idea.
It's better does not remove Facebook application if can breake the Manila facebook integration function. It's also better do not integrate Facebook Manila tab... better to wait netx more feature rich release: at this moment is a duplicate of Facebook contacts tab

Diciamo che andiamo molto d'accordo
I think too that the most things you can remove, the better, as long as you can install them with cabs.
XDAShutdown is one of those things, there's the cab for it... and believe me, I never use it I just have installed touchx powerbutton actionscreen and I reset from there.
Regarding office mobile... I think there's a cab for that as well, and if you can install just excel and word, then you can save space on powerpoint... maybe I even need just excel, as I never do text processing on the phone.
Also, adobe reader could be removed, probably there are smaller pdf readers around....
Regarding the tabs, if you can add them with mods without cooking them in... then let's remove them as well Especially "Azioni"
Probably it would be a good idea to also remove tom autoinstall (if it's installed and cooked in the internal memory). Anyone can add the program himself to install all the cabs; also, not everyone uses tom autoinstall, me for example, I use Sashimi, which is already installed on my sdcard
pls dont remove
please DONT remove flashlight and shutdown .. this is MUST!

Some people are just not suited for this version of the ROM.
If you want htc flashlight, xdashutdown, program X, Y and Z, then just download and flash Axlor Full or Axlor Lite.
Axlor XLite is, as the name says, Extra-lite, and contains the least possible number of applications, so if you want something, you install it yourself after flashing.
Hi Ale! If you want:
