Grey Wallpaper preview in Sense Roms - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello,
I am a huge fan of the sense roms over here, but I discovered a problem in almost all roms(this happends to me atleast), I have used the Energy Rom, and the hadric sense rom, and a couple other sense roms. When I want to set a wallpaper, I go the the backgrounds tap, there you have this flippy wallpaper preview, where you can slide through the wallpapers, All wallpapers are grey, like they can't preview, so are the Live wallpapers. Anyone else having this problem too?
Thanks in advance.

Well I would definitely suggest searching next time friend, posts like this leave you open for flaming or bashing. This is a well known and documented issue with Sense 3.xx roms since the beginning. If you want to see them just select menu then grid view.

I always search for items, but I couldn't find something about this, and I've never found something in a thread about the tabs. If a similar thread like this already exists, I am sorry for this. I am just interested in making a rom perfectly . Thanks for your advice btw.

I think is different hardware cause hd2 is porting,,,,
maybe not fully all features can be use.....

Dear Hermes Chefs, has anyone cooked the cLaunch into a rom yet ?

Edited
Howdy,
I have seen all of the threads on the subject, and seen the proggy, and know the sensitivity around all this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289523
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

going from hero to CM. questions and wants.

first off, i'm still pretty much a n00b to android modding. and i'm giving up on hero cause i've just never had a rom work perfectly. So i downloaded GDE and i love it and gives me one of the features i wanted from hero. I can live without the bookmark widget that i love so much. so i've decided i want something stable and with 1.6 so CM it is.
So first things first outside of whats here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about is there any special SPL or other mod i have to do. Or do i have to put back an older SPL because i installed a hero rom?
2nd question. I'd really like an eclair icon theme (with all the new eclair icons) but with the HERO style notification bar. i tried searching but there were soo many and many were way to crazy. Basically all i want is just the eclair icons+hero bar.
Okay, now heres the part that i really need some help understanding. I know people ported some of the HTC apps to the G1, can this be done to CM on the mytouch? mainly these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515840 To have the hero gallery/camera/keyboard would be just down right amazing.
Also, even though i know the answer is probably no, is there anyway to get the HTC browser on CM?
Guess one last thing would be, anyway to get the hero lock screen for CM?
And thats that. If any of the answers are no, thats fine i'll still go to CM but i'm really hoping i can get as much hero as possible.
Thanks in advance.
40 views and 18 hours and no replies? kinda sucks.
Well i did a few things myself. apparently CM has the eclair icons now so that saved that trouble. Even though the market one dosn't have the icon unless i use bettercut it seems impossible to give it the icon casue metamorph keeps making the market crash.
found a nice hero style bar which i actually modified myself a bit. Nice to see you can modify the metamorph images before you use them.
But still can't find any answer to my last 3 questions. the haykuro apps, the htc browser, and the hero lock screen

[Q] Choosing a ROM

I am completely new to the whole ROM scene, but with the possibility of landscape menus in manila 2.5.1922, I really need to check it out! However, there are so many ROMs out there, and I have no idea which one I should try.
So I guess what I am asking is: What is the most reliable/stable ROM with Manila 2.5.1922/landscape support?
Thanks!
It's bumptastic!
that's a tough question to answer.if there were one rom better than the others we'd all be using that one!
read some of the rom threads...the important stuff is inn the first post usually.
next, learn what the different versions of the different parts mean. is it windows 6.5 or 6.5.3, what manilla build is it and what's the difference... then you will be able to make your own informed decision.
This type of thread is usually locked by a mod, so I'll get in first ;-)
Only you can decide which rom is right for you, really. Best thing is to look at the existing threads for roms, and try one you like the looks of.
Almost all roms here are constantly being improved, so it's very difficult for someone else to recommend a particular rom over another one for you, as within a week one may have added new features over another.
Depends what are you looking for.
Speed?
Stability?
New features?
I personally seek a ROM that is close to original HTC but with improved speed and new features. I don't search for fastest ROM, just a ROM that is little bit optimized with tweaks from this place:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
also I like how start button is moved to the bottom so ROMs with that feature are also welcomed. Threaded mail in messaging is also nice feature. When it comes to looks I like the squarish buttons instead of rounded default ones.
At this moment I found that this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614006
(23518 version) is all that I need at this moment.
Happy hunting
The only thing I'm actually is something that works just like the original ROM, but with landscape support in the menus. Does the miri ROM do that?

Please help...

Hey everyone,
First thing, YOU GUYS ROCK!!! Myself and a few mates/coworkers could not live with out this forum and your helpful hints, tips and .CAB's.
I am a Telstra Employee **Ducks for cover** (I work Back of house managing Data Base's for asset tracking so no insider goss available soz). I have had a HTC HD and now i have a HD2 (so worth the upgrade). Now myself and 2 other mates all have the HD2 and work for Telstra, We have debranded our HD2's and added many tweeking cabs and Apps from this wonderful site BUT we are really dieing for a Theme creator for HTC Sense, Telsta has given us (out of the goodness of their hearts) the gayest Blue theme ever! I want a Black one but im unable to work out how? We also are a little curiouse about some of the larger tweeks for the HD2 but are not willing to Flash our ROMs away from the standard Telstra ROMs avalible.
Can any one help? I see many great themes and Sense mods that others have created but no way how to do it myself.
first of all, you should never, under any circumstance, admit your a telstra employee, even if you think this site may be able to conceal your identity... madam karma knows who and where you are, and she is coming for you.
now that that's out of the way... as far as i know (moderate experience flashing winmo phones), the only way to customise the Sense interface is with a cooked ROM, with a built in modifier. note: im only assuming this because the only versions of M2D ive used before this HD2 were cooked into custom ROM. i may be wrong, but im just sharing my knoweledge.
also... you noted that you have de-branded your HD2... what exactly do you mean by that? have you just removed all the 'telstra/foxtel/bigpond' junk that telstra polute their phones with? if so... perhaps you can teach me something... is there a way to edit the links/shortcuts from the "apps & downloads" tab? i would like a dedicated program tab, but something i can edit the shortcuts. similar to the quick links on the home tab.
hope i helped.
good luck mate.
Oh ok, ummm... I quit and no longer work for Telstra?....!
By de branding i mean we have removed the fixed quick links and telstra tabs bloatware that all go to the m.bigpond site (little puddle as we call it), remapped the internet connection and modem settings so you dont have to go via m.Bigpond for everything. Added as many cusomising cabs as possible like Bg4all and Co0kies home tab (kudos to Co0kie for that one!!!), Bsb, Advance Config and basically every tweaking cab avalible on XDA and opnMarket. We have not been able to remap the links in the mysocial tab or the apps tab but we think we might be close?
Our big issues are that telstra hide alot of the options and advanced setup pages from us due to government legisation, Like the Camera sound; we dont have an option to disable it as it is Au law for digital cams to make an anoying sound (to prevent up-skirting). We are also a bit confused, everyone talks about cabs only being compatible with sense 2.5.1XXXXXXXXX but in our software info section it states that our Manila version is 1.0.19211622.1? I mean WTF is that all about!
ha ha, i was just playin with the telstra comment. it seems from your original post that you know and dislike telstra as much as anyone.
hmmm, ill have to look into some of the tweaks you have mentioned. particularly cookies home tab editor.
and yeah, as far as the sense versions go... im not sure why our "brand new" interface seems to be 1.5 versions behind everyone elses. its probably just a numbering thing - and might mean nothing. but im sure someone on this board wouldnt mind explaining it to you.
ill keep you posted if i find a way to edit the app links and such. its in these WINMO device's nature to keep evolving, so im sure there is a way.
cheers.

Sense UI Theme/Homescreen on HTC Ozone???

Ok. So I REALLY REALLY LIKE the Sense UI/Android Homescreens. I like that big clock with the flipping numbers and stuff.
Is there ANY WAY to get that on the Ozone?
Also, I've been reading everywhere that in WM6.5, if you go into the Settings menu, there's a thing for the Today Screen, and you can choose a Theme. I think it's only on PPC/Touchscreens. I don't have that. It just says Home Screen and then it lets you choose pics and color schemes and all that good ish.
I've been seeing this Throttle Launcher app, and wondering if that's what I need.... but I don't wanna do anything until I know for sure.
So... is getting the Sense UI/Android Homescreen on the Ozone a possibility? And if it hasn't been done already, who would love to tackle such a fun feat? Seeing as I know nothing about writing code or cooking ROMs or anything.
::EDIT:: I guess another name for the Homescreen I want is the HERO screen? I don't know. I'm REALLY new to HTC. Coming from Motorola Q... so I'm still learning new terms. But yeah. The big flippy clock with the weather in the middle. That thing. LOL!
::Another EDIT:: So, I've done more research, and I guess a lot of you are thinking that this is a stupid thread. As I've come to find, WM6.5 Standard DOES NOT HAVE TITANIUM or do the whole Theme thing. That's WM6.5 Pro which is for Touch Screens. I really wish I knew how to write code and stuff, because I'd be trying to figure out a way how to make the Sense UI theme non-touchscreen. I'm pretty sure there's some way to do it. It would be a fun experiment for whoever would like to take up the task.
