Runs Android 1.6
Uses the HTC Framework (HTC Mail + Exchange Sync)
Has everything working (camera, bluetooth, wifi, etc)
Is Fast
Can anyone help me out? Particularly point 1 combined with point 2 are hard to find. But maybe I'm just missing it as a lot of ROM posters leave out this vital piece of information (how can you post a rom and not mention what version of Android it runs?).
Try this one. 32a only.
It's a bit laggy and unpolished though:

HoFo doesn't run on Donut either... HTC did release a 1.6 with SenseUI for it's Tattoo device but as it had a smaller screen it could never be ported without display problems, AFAIK.
The "vital piece of information" isn't always specified because devs may assume that people know that the official SenseUI is running on Cupcake. They mention the HTC base build most of the time, though.
Unfortunately, I think that what you're looking for doesn't exist and never will... Now if only we could get a camera driver working on 2.0 soon
Are custom roms not just a collection of tweaks and minor cosmetic changes already available as individual cabs, or is there more to it?
Custom roms are simply ROM images that contain the base image that you will get when you perform a hard reset of the device. i.e. windows mobile packages that the creator included + any HTC specific packages + any other 3rd party apps the creator included + pre-set registry tweaks and settings + drivers.
Just read the threads to see what changes to the drivers, what registry tweaks have been put on, what windows core files and apps have been included as well as what HTC apps have been included or excluded and whatever else the creator has included - often XDA shutdown, file commander, task managers etc.
It is especially useful if you have sms messaging issues with HTC messaging app which can be stripped out. Or if you want speedy performance without senseui hogging memory.
Which would you say is the most radical Rom made, the ones i have seen on the list page all seem to include minor tweaks and minor visuals already available as individual Cabs...or am i missing the point?
they dont want to mess it up too much otherwise you might have unstable device. look at the benchmarking thread here.
L3v5y has most ram free. it will also show which is nippiest. you will see that they do eek some performance benefits over stock.
still, it's a mobile phone for 24/7 use. cooked rom isnot ideal for everyone
Thanks for the info.
I'm gonna hold fire on the cooked ROMs for now, until one is released which cures the actual problems with my HD2 on a stock ROM, namely the slow loading on the SMS software and the connection issues over GSM/3G for Peep.
It gets really interesting when the chefs start releasing ROMs with a new OS. That's when the ROMs on my old omnia really grabbed my attention as chefs released TouchFlo and WinMo 6.5 for the Omnia. When the ROMs for the HD2 start bringing really tangible new stuff to the HD2, that's when I'll start using the customs ROMs. The HD2 is still new, so these types of custom rom will take a while. I reckon the milestone (pardon the pun) will be when someone manages to port the Nexus ROM to the HD2. Then the HD2 will become the phone to have, as you will have the choice between stock HTC Sense, or the Nexus OS with an even bigger screen.
Nordic business area manager for Windows Mobile said on his blogg that there will be no more Sense on a Windows phone 7 phone...
Translated from swedish to english with the help of google:
"There will be no Sense to HTC Windows Phone 7 Series phones. It is entirely a Microsoft-defined experience that HTC can add things to, but not changing how it works. It's totally fine."
here is the source http://wissinger.wordpress.com/2010/02/15/en-annorlunda-telefon-windows-phone-7-series/#comments its in swedish so translate it with the help of google....
It's not very surprising.
It's part of their brand awareness strategy. Same like the PC Windows 7 Starter edition, were changing wallpapers is blocked.
MS wants to push their new OS and separate themselves from the previous WinMo. Most of WinMo phones now, have custom UI to hide the uglyness of stock system. So releasing a new system and allowing custom UIs would go unnoticed to the average Joe.
I'm sure they will allow custom UIs after a certain period of time tho. It will also give companies designing custom UIs more time to implement the new features.
well ultimately...sense was supposed to cover microsofts ugly user interface...thats no longer necessary...
with that said...the weather animations are still nice and I hope HTC will somehow integrate them in winmo 7 and also the homescreen is simply something I'm used to...since the diamond...I can't imagine my phone looking different on home screen
but seriously, thats the only thing I miss about sense...other than that it was clear that sense won't survive...
it supports no widgets which sucks
its written in lua which nobody understands
you have to modify manila files which means if you have multiple modifications, you can't delete stuff anymore.
it has some very useless tabs, yet doesn't allow you to create own tabs with important stuff...who needs a footprint tab again?
so overall it was clear that sense wouldn't survive too long in the current concept...you see what HTC has done with android...I hope they will be doing some innovative stuff with winmo 7...mainly the main screen in sense is awesome and the weather animations.
so here's the question :
will it be possible to mod HTC Hup ?
or ad some extra tiles/tabs to HTC Hup .
and is there someone that can tell me how sense look (is it one app or is it something like 1000 manila files)
i dont know much about it, but i assume it will be possible, anything is possible if you work at it. Sense however is one app or "hub" as they are calling it on WP7 so im not sure how it would work but i doubt it will be just manilla files, i reckon some hard coding will be needed.
I agree, someone on here will probably re-engineer them, but what's the point?
Previous versions of the Sense UI laid over (and hid) the OS, in this case it is just another app based in a WP Hub, it will have a much more minor role.
In fact from the previews I've seen in my opinion it will be pretty useless. In the past HTC used Sense UI to give glanceable info to Windows Mobile, now that Windows Phone does this from it's core, HTC have gone in a completly opposite direction by putting on an overly animation heavy interface onto a glaceable UI!!! Now it takes 2 to 3 seconds to get into the HTC hub because of all their fancy animations.
Someone may port it to non-HTC devices or copy the latest versions (going forward Sense 3.1, 3.5, etc) onto all the phone.
I'm sure the developers here are more interested in WP7 itself rather than Sense UI which has well and truley become an animation bloatware on WP7.
actually looks like MS and HTC declared that no custom home screen will be available fot WP7 phones

Hi,
There are no manila files (yet).
See post #13 in the thread:

From a programmers point of view the Sense App on HTC's WP7 devices is just another app (although it seems to have the possibility to access more than regular WP7 apps built with the public tools (sound settings on the Surround and HD7).
HTC currently mainly uses it to add Weather and Stock-Updates as those are not part of the base OS.

Short answer no.
Long answer:
"Sense 3.0" is based on Silverlight. Which won't run on Windows Mobile 6.5 or less.

Well... it is just another App... although a WP7-App that won't run anywhere else - what I meant to say: I don't see why anyone would need this thing anyplace else, what it provides is little and could easily be done by just writing a simple App.
Thread cleaned up.
Stay On topic please.

------ Got Bad Battery life in android? I can help!! ------
after being given the idea by JW, i have done extensive testing with various radios using current widget. I can confirm that the worst radio you can have for battery life in android, by far, is 2.15.xx and 2.14.xx
With radio 2.10.50.28_2 or 2.08.50.05 i am getting a constant 6/7 mA in standby, even with wifi still active and around 100mA less useage when phone on and being used!
you can download them here:
2.08.50.05 - is here
2.10.50.28_2 - is here
flash them in bootloader, boot to WM (you may need to reset your date and time - flashing radios sometims changes it, then boot to android and enjoy!
If you are looking for an older version than the above, please browse the root of our FTP available here http://cleanex.htcfanboys.com/

Dear Gavin, thank you.
You are the man
and as mynamesteve said, Christmas has come early
Thanx .... giving it a try ..... Greatly appreciated ......
Just booted up after flash. Amazing speed, everything seems working 101%, probably the best ROM ever made for the HD2. Will test further and report if any issues found.
Still running ancient Radio 2.08.50.08_2, should I update?... to wich one?... (yes, battery life sucks with this one but it always has and I doubt any radio will improve it much...) Does it need to be a Radio ending in xxxxx_2 or it doesnt matter? Any feedback on newer Radios or what's the best one?
Gavin... U know it Simply perfect!
Cheers guys! Keep the feedback coming, and let me know of any issues you may encounter!

For Ultra, the LeftSoftKey registry (ie HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath) didnt work anymore. This did not happen on previous Ultra. I was trying to map it to "\windows\taskmgr.exe"
Welcome back Gavin! We missed u!! Wish your GF for a quick recovery!!
