Well, I dont know if this is the best place to put this but I´m desperate... I install one ROM and have the windows button at the bottom and also the menu button.. They are so big, i want to change to the originals one.. Can somebody help me or explain me??
thanks!
The new ROM you installed will be based on windows 6.5.3 (Which is the one with the bigger buttons at the bottom, and more finger friendly design.) Whereas the original one with the smaller softkeys was just 6.5, most ROMs come with two different builds, one with 6.5.3 and one with 6.5, so if you really want the smaller softkeys, just find the ROM with the 6.5 build and flash that instead.
Thanks man! I dont know why people like this buttons...
I try before but i think is impossible.. all the people use 6.5.3 build... but im going to continue looking!
Thanks again for the quick response!

I have this wait cursor that i would like to be able to work on wm 6.5. Getting tired of looking at the rainbow wait cursor of 6.5 that reminds me of the circus. Anyone know how to edit the wait cursor i have attached to work on 6.5? I take no credit, the wait cursor was made by someone else. I love it since it matches my theme. Thanks!
P.S.
Its for my att fuze phone if that makes a difference.

Thanks, didn't know a new version was out.
Hate the MWC3 WM6.5 Wait Cursor - very "chunky" - Original 6.5 is BEST, if you like M$ stuff
it's a 32 bit bitmap with alpha channel, u can specify number of frames etc in the registry, its stored in shellres.*.dll i believe, you can pull the frames out with a resource editor, make your own, re-inject
So , MWC didnt work for me, the program changes nothing. Can I just dump this file in whereever the original waitcursor is located (I suppose in /windows) and overwrite it ?
would appreciate a fast answer.........
I have a T-mobile Compact 5 (aka Topaz) running wm6.1. I understand that in the near future 6.5 will be made available. With this, will there be a new touchflow interface? I have seen screenshits of 6.5 and I cant say I'm over excited about it. I hope very much that TF is not discontinued on 6.5. Anyone knows?
regards
Personally I suspect it'll look like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igRAl0swRsI. I hope it does.
Each to his own ... can't say the new manila is doing much for me, as evidenced on latest custom roms. Just looks like clutter, especially on the home screen.

im with you there however theres a few improvements that i prefer over the original touchflo, such as the favorite contacts screen. I also like the landscape photo gallery however at the moment that still runs a little chunky for me
Thanks for your replies.
I look forward to it. The short cuts on the home screen will be a BIG help for the way I use my phone.
Cheers
Hey im sorry to bug the chefs and other members with this question, but i have found a rom that i really like. Only problem is that its for the Verizon Whitestone. It has the cool blue slider, the stock black and white tf3d icons, but it has the my location and weather clock, and it also uses the manila start menu instead of the joke that wm 6.5 uses. I am currently using josh's perfect black v 1.7 and it works great, but i want something a little faster and more stable... if someone knows how to get a rom to do all these things or can cook one like this then that would be amazing =]
Again, i am sorry for bugging ya'll, but i just want a little help =]
Most ROM's have screenshots in the thread. This will probably be closed soon.
Just check out the ROM Threads to get what you need
thats the problem... i check them almost everyday and there is nothing here that is like it =[
You'll just have to keep looking, or ask a chef if they would make a ROM with your preferences. Failing that, get a kitchen and give it a go
Or try and find CABs to change another ROM to match, I think most colours can be changed with CABs, and I'm pretty sure the start menu can too.
Moving to "Themes" sub forum.
Thanks =]
thanks that helps alot... if u dont mind me asking for a huge favor, i honestly dont know where to find a cab to change the slider or the icons for sense ui
You can also search the Topaz or Blackstone themes section. They almost share the same customizations..
My suggestion for a ROM would be deepshining by dotcompt..nice looking ROM and fairly stable... as far as the custom sliders give http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611441 these a look through
Hi
Searched the forum with no luck.
Could anyone please tell me the advantages & disadvantages of WM6.5.5 and is there a ROM out there that is very close to stock with this version of windows mobile.
Thanks
You must feel the difference yourself.
While many people don´t like the combination of Sense and WinMo buttons at the bottom of the screen, some seem to prefer it.
It lies within the nature of the change that it is impossible to have a 6.5.x ROM which would be close to any existing stock ROM.
other than the menu bar at the bottom there isn't a huge amount off difference.
I certainly wouldn't use it as a basis to decide for o against which rom I use.

I don't know. The ugliness factor is a big part of it for me. The esthetic of Sense UI is ruined by those "additions" in later builds of WM, in my view. I hope that WM 6.6 will allow us to remove them. If not, I'll stay with the current build and be fine with it.
The new buttons, etc. thin the lipstick on the pig considerably, and it is enough to make me decide not to use it. To each his own, I guess.

Yea it also looks pretty ugly to me thats why I asked if theres any advantages that would be worth the compromise.
you can skin those buttons to be smaller do they don't interfere anymore, can make all the difference.

thinking the same thing Mate... what more, the more I read about wm7, the less I'm excited about it. I'll stick to official 1.66 unless htc will decide to give us a new build, but imho winmo 6.5 does the job pretty damn well, so if it's anything above it like 6.5.3, I'll more likely skip it.

I hate the new style ... Will keep my 6.5 ...
I quite like the buttons at the bottom.
When I started using my fingers to control it more than a stylus I felt having to go to the top of the screen to close/ok stuff didn't make sense. I was used to this style from previous winmo phones though.
When I used a 6.5.5 rom it made one handed use MUCH easier. I don't mind the look tbh and fits well with the navigation with sense. I have MaxManilla or something which is quite a busy front screen so I can see minimalists not liking it.
But how about stability, speed, power consumption?
That's the facts that I'm intrested in! if the button's a bit bigger or smaller... I want my internet connection to be established asap when I need it, but habe a long battery life. and that my phone works without any softreset every half a day!
Did anyone check those facts? give us a hint?
i personally hate that bar at the bottom on WM 6.5.x (with the start button, action and menu)
Im currently using WM 6.5 adn like the simple THIN bar with "phone and menu"
This is the only reason i havent flashed any custom roms...Unless i AM able to change them back to the old looking bottom bar?
Does anyone know if its possible?

Look for dutty's HG ROMS on htcpedia.com He has a 6.5 and a 6.5.5 of his rom and they are very close to stock.
After switching to 6.5.x I wouldn't go back.
At the moment I'm using Miri's Standard version from over on htcpedia.com.
If you're really looking for some eye candy, check out energy roms! both 23xxx and 21xxx com.
But I haven't had the time yet to compare both in speed and stability. Does anybody have some experience in BOTH of the COMs?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
speed feels the same. But the most irritatiting thing is the thin top bar! it looks like ****!
Also the animations on 6.5.x is also inferior.
Im using 6.5.5 from DsE Black Edition ROM v7 for about 2 weeks now. Its a stable ROM and really fast.
I never had any problem with the 3g connection, neither under 6.5 nor now on 6.5.5. It always connects when i want it to.
Take a look at the screenshot of my homescreen. It has the starmenu button and the close/ok button disabled (HD2 has hardware keys for it). Looks pretty sleek, doesnt it?
I really like the newer builds...everything looks better. Just check out the windows mobile system settings. Nice checkboxes and scrollbars, better looking message boxes and so on.
I'm also using cleanex DsE Black Edition. This has the 6.5.x buttons mapped to the hardware ones below so you don't use up the screen with duplicates.
Also this rom is super fast and stable

how did you disable the start menu/ok buttons? im in the process of downloading cleanex core 655 but the biggest issue for me is the start menu at the bottom, as it gets in the way of sense UI
6.5.5 has been a quality jump for me, the standard applications/dialogue are heaps easier to use, buttons are finger friendly (while 6.5 buttons are strictly stilus-friendly).
The only downside, which I'm not sure is because of 6.5.5 (what's sure is that after several 6.5 roms, this problem appears only with the first 6.5.5 rom I flashed) is that WM seems to be very happily closing applications in background even if there's heaps of free ram, just like the virtual memory becomes scarce very soon. And I not only mean ACR, but also mortplayer playing music in background while I have tomtom showing the way and navicomputer recording the track data. With just those three applications running I have at least 210MB pohysical ram free, and yet I get autoclosing.
Hey
I just wondered if this is possible?
Sory for my bad eng...
Windows Mobile 6.5 he is just ugly bastard... And that HTC Sense also...
Just clean WM 6.1?
There are very few versions of 6.1 available for the HD2...and most of them haven't been updated in ages. Just flash a custom ROM, then hit up settings to get the old Start menu back...hell, even the stock ROM has the option I think.

WM 6.5.3 is much better than any previous versions thanks to the multitide of finger friendly tweaks made

No bro, I know the difference between 6.1 and Titanium.....been doing this a long time. There are a handful of 6.1 builds for the Leo...somewhere buried within the ROM development section at the main Leo section.

gotcha, its the red bit that i read as you saying to just turn sense off. Oh teh joy of misinterpretation, , heh.
maybe i don't hang out here enough, but I still can't see what this trivial argument is about...
doesn't WM6.1 = turning off titanium and reinstalling your old today plugins? e.g. before running GPS or Android, I turn off sense and just re-enable BatteryStatus and TodayAgenda from my WM6 on the today screen, and the HD2 magically turns into my old wm5.
If the OP was referring to the other device-specific tweaks like the new notifications or volume controls, they can all be changed in the registry or with programs like SchapsAdvancedConfig3.3 etc. One can even bring back the old start menu with new programs like this recent front page post 3D WinStart. But then again, all these tweaks might be too much for a newbe to handle, so i guess, yer right, just flashing a retro rom might be simpler, as long as one can still find it?

Tell me what your post brings to this topic?
I do not want any tweaks or crap like that. I want just good old WM6.1.
atlaswing is mostly correct though...WM6.1 really is just 6.5-Titanium. You can just go into settings and enable the classic WinMo Today screen to achieve the same effect.
