In the first post, go down to the About the Looks section.

I tried Dafunk's and it worked perfectly, with SDKcerts, on my otherwise stock HD2......
Thank you!

trying to find Dutty's HD V3.7 XT Add on Cabs

Hi I have just upgraded to this rom from the basic preinstalled one. I want to find the add on cabs mentioned for the rom but I cant find links anywhere on here and on http://www.duttythroy.net when i go to download no files ever show up, what am I doing wrong? (specifically I want Dutty's Enable Manila landscape and Dutty's Flip it Application)
**EDIT**
when i start my phone the red version writing says this
R1.14.25.24
G52.64.24.34H
D1.58.Dutty
is this all correct? I want to make sure i flashed the rom properly. (went straight to the cooked rom from stock 1.14 rom hope this is correct)
I have the same rom
except mine says
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34H
D 1.59.Dutty
Not sure why different

Why not just go to Duttys V3.7 thread and go to bottom download on post#6 and download it. Simple as that. Alternatively as jake_tenfloors stated above sign up to his website and download from there. Membership is free on his site.
If you have downloaded correct rom and installed it your splash screen should say the following:
R 1.14.25.24
G 52.64.25.34H
D 1.59.Dutty
I didnt realize I had to sign up thanks a lot for the posts guys, and my splash screen does say the same as all yours it was just a typo. thanks again.

Getting ready to go transparent

Just got my HD2 and would like to remove/make transparent taskbars and curtains etc...
My question which I have not found an answer to is do I need to SPL, use different ROM etc or can I use the mod cabs on a out of the box handset?
You dont need to flash your device at all to install cab files.
Search for Touch X collection , you 'll found every thing you need

Friends, those who have downloaded and have interest in the future development of GTX version, kindly provide your feedback. So that i shall know whether to continue further or not. Also, it will help me to identify any possible bugs if any and to improve the future versions further. Thanks to everyone
i am loving gtx. please continue. i would love to have the small music player that you have in 2.2/2.3. i have installed the rom last night and used phone frequently all morning and the problem i have is that music player in manila is hanging up phone. it is non responsive when i goto music. it was at fine at the beginning but now totally freezes when i goto music. happened after i tried to update album art. i tried 2.2 and had many issues. will address over there.
hi... some feedback..
hi Kumar,
This test rom in its current avatar is good and there is lil to be tweaked here else u wanna add a new base, 2.14 of course... moreover CHT version u've used is now outdated and for gtx CHT 1.8.5 is around the corner...
so my suggestion is to wait and release an updated package with all tweaks n fix along with an new base... now i dont know if its alrite this way but u might be able to share ur thots on this...
Thanks!

New to HTC Mega

heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.
Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.
heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.
thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?
No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.
Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.
Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it
sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.
okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.

Question for Themes....

Hey,
I was just wondering about themes for the HTC Legend. I have a stock Froyo ROM currently installed in my Legend. What is the difference between a Rom and a theme? Is a theme practically a Rom that we have to flash through recovery? If I install a theme in my Legend, does it replace my Rom I currently have installed? I was planning to get a Rom/Theme for my legend that has a nice style to it. (Transparent notification bar for example.).
PS: Can someone give me a good working nice style Rom? I wanna take a break from the current Rom I have to see what's out there. Thanks for the help. Sorry if this was a stupid question.
A theme is just that, a theme (try changing windows theme, you're still on windows!).
Cyanogen (the rom) has the theme chooser installed, which allows you to change the theme easily (no flashing, just install apk like normal apps). Make sure you pick an MDPI theme.
read more.
You mention you're on stock froyo, check out the guides on how to downgrade and install custom roms. Like this.
Thanks! Oh and I am rooted and just have a Froyo Rom installed is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion, the Rom I'm using is just an average HTC Sense Rom Froyo.
Check this thread for a comprehensive list of ThemeChoser themes. Make sure to pick mdpi ones.
