HTC Messenger and Calender w/o Sense - HD2 General

Hi, i searched but was unable to find a post on this so i shall post my question. I like using windows default home screen but like HTC's messenger and Calender on my HD2. Is there a way to launch these without actually launching sense 2.5?

Creating a Windows Live contact from the contact list

Why doesn't "create contact" allow to create a Windows Live contact anymore? It used to be the case on the Blackstone ROM's but on the HD2 this functionality is broken.
Which part of the ROM is responsible for this behaviour and is there a CAB fix (perhaps an update for the HTC Contacts application) that allows to enable this option again?
Without this functionality to enter contacts indifferently in MSN Live messenger and on the phone, HTC phones lose both Android Phone and the iPhone, where the main advantage is the synchronizing of contacts between Messenger software and the phone!
We need this feature back, as this is a major feature that has disappeared!
over 60 reads and no answer?
Am I the only one using MSN Messenger for chats, cam and saving new chat partners to my phone and adding new MSN contactd through my phone so i don't have to do this work twice?
I have found a solution.
I can use the Windows Contacts application instead of HTC people in order to create a new contact. Not perfect but works.
Next time better post in the correct thread, this is ROM section.
Nice to know you found a solution to the problem though.

Caalendar Application

Hi there,
I am thinking of buying the Inesoft Calendar application as I like the different views it gives me and the task list integration. Does anyone know any other alternatives?
Also, can someone post screen shots of the new calendar screens from 6.5.3? I've seen the monthly view (same as 6.5) and the annual view - is there anything else?

Look up Calender Touch, it pretty much kicks AS#
Thanks.
One of things I like about the inesoft product, is that it also shows Google calendar entries, WITHOUT zyncing them to my Outlook calendar. Any other options for this?

I just re-installed ThumbCal that i bought for my kaiser a long while back, it pretty much rocks on the TP2, and you can set it as the default calendar and tasks app, i sync all my calendars entries with Google over push which works fine..great app with a good Agenda view which i like alot.

Edit: i'm just trying out the Inesoft and so far i'm pretty impressed!!

Not sure how many options and stuff you need but this is hard to beat.

They offer 30 day free trial, probably take 30 days to play with all of the options it has.

Issue with adding Hotmail account in Dutty's The One ROM (WM6.5 - HTC Sense 2.5)

Hi All,
I currently have a Touch HD and a HD2, and while I like the WM6.1 / TF3D combo of the original Touch HD ROM, I decided to have a go at putting WM6.5 / Sense 2.5 on it, to see how it ran compared to my HD2 (which I've been having some issues with - slow running, freezing, etc).
I've upgraded the Touch HD to Dutty's The One ROM via HSPL, and the ROM seems to work very well, apart from the following issue, which I can't seem to figure out:
I've got the HD synching with my Exchange account, which works fine. Now I want to add my Hotmail account. Now, on the original HD ROM, and on the HD2, this works fine by going onto the Messaging tab and adding the Hotmail account (after setting it up in the Windows Live app initially). When I try this on the HD with Dutty ROM, it lets me go through the wizard, enter the password details, etc. But when I click finish, it just opens an Opera instance and directs me to mobile.live.com! Am I missing something?? MS MyPhone and Windows Live seem to work fine on this ROM (although I notice it's a different version of Windows Live that's on my HD2 standard ROM - Could this be it?).
Thanks in advance

Use this one:
|ROM |NOV 04| Duttys HD WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail R0 |CE 5.2.21869 |HTC SENSE||ONLINE||
I had no problems in hotmail :s
sorry i cant help
I think that might actually be the one I'm using (just double-checked, and yeah it is - I got confused as to the name, as he mentions it being "the one" in the description on HTCPedia)...
Strange thing is... It's working now! I had to hard reset and start over, but both Exchange and Hotmail are working within the Messaging tab (this time, Hotmail was added automatically after I completed Windows Live setup).
If this runs better than the HD2, I guess there'll be a HD2 for sale haha!

believe me, that rom is the perfect one for sense 2.5 and wm6.5. He made such a wonderful job. Its like his work at HD had finished, he made the perfect one.
Maybe one day he will do the perfect rom for hd2
About working, sometimes windows mobile is that way, unexplainable
Hey there,
I have the same problem kinda. I did not mess with the ROM at all, I only added a theme. But the thing is, I have a gmail on my HD2 and its great but when I tried to add my hotmail, that did not work and it took me to opera mobile and so on. So I doubt that it is an issue with the ROM here. here is how I am doing it: mail tab on the bottom--> menu--> add account. am I doing it wrong?

EnergyROM Facebook upgrade

Hi,
Currently I have Energy ROM installed. It has the basic facebook application. How can I install the latest facebook application from microsoft so that it replaces what I have now. Also, I need the MS facebook application to be in the home slider tab.
I downloaded mine from the MS marketplace and it installed over what I have for the home slider app there is a cab floating around the forum just search for it.
Searching. Not able to find it. Can anybody give the link?
Can anybody help me?
Try here

Click here for the facebook cab...

and here for the tabs...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCA5uYNwCj0 8:42 into the video
If you get double facebook icons you can always delete one of the icons with total commander.
After install, it didnt change the facebook application on the slider.
Did you change it yourself like it shows in the video?
Facebook from microsoft is different from the facebook shown in the manila(sense).
manila version comes with the minimal functionality and UI. if you click on something it will try to open the Facebook on your default browser.
All I want to do is to change the facebook in manila with the microsoft facebook
Same...
I have Enery Titanium installed... when i download the .cab file, instead of using the app like it did on shipped rom, it opens facebook in opera. I would like to use the new facebook app that microsoft put out.

Remove HTC Calendar and use Google Android

Hi
Personally I don't like the HTC Calendar.
I would much rather use the normal Google Android version but a) I cannot find it anywhere on my phone b) I cannot find it to download separately.
There is however a widget for it on my phone but clicking on the widget takes me into the HTC skinned calendar.
Can anyone help?
Cheers
Don
