Howdy,
I have seen all of the threads on the subject, and seen the proggy, and know the sensitivity around all this.

However, it obviously makes sense for someone to cook it so that the iphone looking front end is cooked into a good rom with the stability of a
schraps, or a black satin, etc.
I have tried setting it up separately, but I am a newbie, and have bricked 1 hermes already trying reset it after I screwed it up.
Has this not happened because of the sensitivity on the matter or something else?
Again looking for rom load that uses the apple looking screen already cooked to a rom for a hermes (HTC wm6)
Thanks in advance
obiviously I am referring to the fornt end picture per this url
http://mobilecrunch.com/wp-content/iPhone1.jpg
Claunch is a today plugin that launches applications. Why do you need it cooked in ?! What you're showing in your picture is a regular iPhone. What are you talking about exactly ?
Making the hermes look like an iphone
sorry
What I was trying to say is that they have the skins now to make the hermes (or I guess any wm6 phone) look like an iphone.
But I find the apps/skins not the easiest thing to use/get right/tweak.
Launch on start up etc.
So what I was trying to spit out was has anyone cooked the proggy/skin that does this into a rom so it doesn't to be tweaked.
cheers
I dont understand why this Iphone home screen suppose to be such good think.
The most important thinks that I need in my first look would be my appointments, outstanding task etc. Iphone screen just provides shortcuts for some applications. Well I may not get really what is it about.
Anyhow you can do such thing without any issues and any special rom. what you need is the Iphone icons (I am sure there are hundreds in the web) then the wisbar advance Desktop.
Iphone looking launch screen
Thanks Bulldog.
Love it or hate it, the simplicity of the iphone, skin, is it is good looking and functional.
It is also the benchmark that all other phones will be measured against for a long time (as the phone has not arrived outside the US yet).
Thanks for your tip but wisbar is not quite slick enough.
There are others but they too are not quite right.
I am sure someone has cooked it all in one.
It wouldn't be worth cooking claunch into rom. It's a tiny app, and the pleasure of it is customising it to launch the apps you want to launch.
I've written several guides for claunch, hunt around. But it's a simple app.
What might be useful is if someone makes an all-in-one iphone-alike pack. And those probably do exist. Burning claunch into ROM wouldn't be very helpful.

Any direction you can point thee would be appreciated .. thanks
I just ordered the xv6800, an upgrade from my Treo 650. Upon ordering, my research began (about 6 hours ago!)... It is now about 3 AM, and I am due at work in 4 hours. My questions are simple, and I know I am a noob loser, I know, but if someone could guide me to answers, even a simple answer like search words or anything, I would soooo appreciate it!
Questions/Statements:
Heres my experience level:
For my treo to support a 4gb sd card, way back in the day, I had to edit the rom and change the FAT 16 to FAT 32. There was so many guides on how to update the rom, that it was really childs play, even though I was sweating every step. So basically I know nothing, but I have fiddled.
I want to have the iphone skin/mod/theme or a "cube" theme (god I am a newb). Do I have to modify the rom? Are their any guides?
What is Flashing? Is this the same as unlocking? What is unlocking? (Guides?)
Is setting up VOIP way out of my realm? I saw this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
but since it is not an idiot proof step by step, i got discouraged. What are those pictures all about, is it really as easy as just copying the configurations displayed in the screenshots?
I also want to have:
Slide to unlock (iphone function)
X closes the application (i read somewhere this is a 'must have')
MMS
SMS chat thread (like the treo's, also read somewhere this is a must have)
Another major question: Are mods for the sprint mogul, the alltell version of the phone the same as for the xv6800, or are the processes and such all way different (I am under the impression they are the same, but just checking)
I really think these are some of the basic questions that tons of NOOBS want to ask, but are intimidated to ask on such a knowledgable forum. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to making plenty of paypal donations in the future, again and again and again haha, to all you guys (n girls) that can help pimp my ride errrr, phone.

Welcome to XDA!
The first thing you need to do which would help expand your knowledge of the resource here is to read the General & sticky threads that relate to your application. These threads will branch off and direct you into the direction that you will want to take your device.
There is too much information here to be idealy mapped out; reading & bookmarking will become common practice and as topics, phrases and jargon become familiar, so will your speed in finding, installing and customizing...
Hello, i just want to say that it was a good move u made from switchin from 650 to 6800, i did it from 700wx to 6800. i would recommend first to check ur rom version and if it is not the newest rom which is 2.17, u might wanna check the customs roms out there or update it before staring messin with the custom apps because it happened to me, i had an old one and I installed a but of apps n then the new rom came up and it messed me up so i had to do a hard reset.
As for the cube, search keywords like cube, htc touchflo, htc apps, you might also like;
htc touch skins: touch skins
htc home plugin: Lets u mess with the htc home screen
phm reg: for all the manual reg edits and minimal hacks that r not on .cab
hidevista: cool top app with replaces the old START and adds a baterry metter
flashlight: self exp
LED Killer 3.1: to kill that DAMN BLINKIN LIGHT!
pimp backup: lets u back up ur contacts, task, calendar met, sms, mms, etc sprite backup: ($) lets u backup ur whole ppc
oxios hibernate: It helps u realease mem n make it a bit faster
oxios closeapps: Lets u close the apps instead of minimizin them,
TCPMP n Flash Bundle: lets u watch youtube,video.google, n more, fullversion MMS: A must, to send pic mail
PCMcontacts: iphone contacts like
PCMkeyboard: bigger better
threaded sms: self exp,
2slide2unlock: lock app like the iphone.
WkTASK: keeps tabs of open apps next to the START buttom, like windows tabs
total commander: another reg edit soft.
google maps: self exp
UI Tweaker: lets u customize all the colors in the ppc.
All of the above u can find it here in the forums or google search, n the best of all THEY ARE FREE! Enjoy and dont be afraid to ask around, i learned that there are no "stupid questions" if you do some research first instead of just go straight to questions cause u r to lazy to search and read.
Hope this helps.

Verizon doesn't have a 2.17 ROM out. That is only for Sprint. There are custom ROMS for Verizon devices that use some of the 2.17 drivers.

good point, forgot to mention that, the ROM 2.17 is only for sprint, and like blazingwolf said, there are custom ROMs for almost all carriers. Thanks blazingwolf for the missed point..
I'm wondering why on my HTC HD2 when using facebook..
1-I cant see any option for the "like" function
2-I cant see any updates to my status
3-I cant seem to view other peoples photos
4-Sometimes when i refresh it will hang for absolutely ages and nothing will happen
to be honest using facebook on my other phone a Samsung Tocco was much much better and after paying big money for this phone you would assume that using facebook and web browsing in general would be considerably better but to be honest it doesn't appear that much better asides from the bigger screen.
I'm on T-Mobile UK
ROM Version 1.43 110.2
(any more software info needed?)
Also instead of starting a new thread, im pretty new to the whole ROM/Flashing thingy, ive managed to get Hard SLP (HSPL) on my phone, can someone recommend a ROM that will improve web browsing and multimedia functions,any other info appreciated.
Cheers
No one have similar problems?
short answer, facebook app is piss poor.........
set a bookmark for the facebook touch mobile page, it offers much more functionality..
go to m.facebook.com then down the bottom theres a link for the "touch site"
hope that helps........
I've been using touch.facebook.com all these while. Much better compared to WM Facebook application.
Cheers ill give this a go and report back.
anyone any recommendations for ROM.
Appears to be somewhat better alright cheers folks.
Its by no means perfect but its definetly better than the god awful wm facebook app, I cant beleive just how freaking poor it really is.....
Make sure you are using the latest version of Facebook from the Market. It is newer that the one that comes pre-loaded.
Hey All,
Not been around for ages since i had my o2xda many moons ago...
Had my hero a while and got the dredded memory leak and thought as im going to reflash is might as well mod and root it..
Runing the froyo 2.2 Se and it runs flaylessly
however theres a few features i miss from the stock 2.1
Smart dial - where you type the persons name in using the key pad and it finds the contact.. what dialer is this and how easy would it be to switch to this..
Facebook contact link - i liked having my contacts linked with their FB accounts.. is this due to the modded FB app on froyo 2.2 or is it a feature removed from the rom / contact app its self
and finally, whats the best way about building my own roms and so forth, i assume there some guides about on the forum but being a htc hero user only i have only been looking in this section
Many thanks
Sup everyone....
finally managed to install this rom and loving it so far... i have a couple questions
i loved the digital clock on the stock galaxy s2... is it possible to add this in? i can only see a analogue clock...
also is there a way to add more icons into the bottom dock?
would appreciate the help thanks
Samsung Digital Clock needs sammy framework, will not work with CM I'm afraid.
Settings>ADW Settings> and you will find dock settings to add 5 icons.
thanks for the help dude
i use to be able to open doc files until i flashed the cyanogenmod rom.. is there a way around this? thnx
sorry one last question too.. when having a headset plugged in.. whilst being on the phone if i receive a txt the other person on the phone can hear the txt notification.. why is this? can i avoid this?
Look on the market for an office app?
No idea about the headset issue.
Try this thread and post your question there.

Its been said before that the clock needs sammy framework to work..
But..
You could look in the themes area, find the Mclock thread and find the post where someone ported it over to Mclock..
I saw it and looks allmost identical ..
Mclock can be found for free on the market, lmk if you need any help.
