The best place to start you off would be the Raphael wiki. Read up. Also visit the Raphael forum for tips and tricks/tweaks.
Happy Learning!
Ok thanks for that link but i already looked at that. not really tell me what programs to look for. Unless im over looking
I'd love to help you....but your request is really broad. Try to narrow it down a little...like applications that can perform specific tasks. The amount of customization you can do to a WM device is almost limitless. If you don't have any in mind right now...look around....check some forums out online. I'm sure you'll come across applications that would make you go...'hmmm....I'd like to have that' That's where xda devs comes in

what kind of customization are u looking for? Are u trying to get a completly new theme? Remove some tabs from the touch flo? You need to be more specific about about what you would like to customize. Like what are you exactly looking to do?
for now i would like to know how to redu a whole new theme
Get diamond tf3d config. Browse the diamond forums for themes. Install them via diamond tf3d config if it's a file that ends in .theme. Some of them will be cabs, which you just install. On my phone, I installed a .theme file, then a cab to change the clock, and then a cab to hide the top curtain... all of which I found in the diamond forums. Lot's of good information for customizing in the diamond forums. Anything else specific you want to customize, just do a search.
ok i got Diamond TF3D Config. working. But what do i do from here. It has no themes.
Just little info about the rom:
This is how I think the SnapVue side of the shift should be.
There are some things I will remove in a next build to get more space things that are related to the Phone Bluetoothe and Wireless
I'm open for sugestions about what apps I should include other then what is already included and if you have a good enough argument I might remove some already included
whats in this rom:
Free ram after fresh reset
Storage 18 MB
Program 20 MB
CE OS 5.2.20764(build 20764.1.4.3)
SnapVue todayplug
ThumbCal
Large start menu (added larger fonts to all menus.. more fingerfriendly)

Extra special thanks to bepe for putting together some of the best tool around XDA into the DEV kitchen that I use for several devices
for updates and tricks
gues this will be helpfull
Some extra info Manila2D(TouchFLO2D) does work on Shift but some tabs wan't work in landscape. the main problem with Manila would then be that it would be hard to type on the keyboard when the window is in portrate.
to get access to Activesync if you need to setup excange sever download this cab Activesync_link.cab it will put a link in the Connections folder
Needed maybe
just incase I need it
Wow!Gullum thanks!
I would realy aprisiate some feedback from thoese that have tried it
HELP !!!!!
when I started your exe file, prompt showed up, asked me Run program or Cancel, I pushed Run and that dialog windows disapear and no more response from exe program. Any help or solution ???
You did a great job. I really apreciate the big buttons and controls as they improve using the Shift in my car mount.
I haven't found any bugs so far.
Thanks
I didn`t found any bugs either. Some icons are crappy but that is nothing. Awesome rom, thanks!
Thank you for this ROM I believe it has good collection of tools & important softwares.
I'm downloading it X will be more than happy to post suggestions & ideas.
In the meanwhile, I'm wondering what is the use of internet sharing tool? Isn't already 'the vista, connected to the internet?
thank you very much.
If you are using for example Ubuntu on your shift you need internet sharing to connect to internet using 3G.
Thanks Gullum! Wll try this over the weekend. Is PowerPoint included? didn't see it in the list of Office Apps.

hello,
Thanks for the awesome ROM.
I agree with you totally that this is how the WM side should be - finger friendly and quick. This is my preferred ROM.
Yes,powerpoint is included
is there any tools to change resolution?
Very nice ROM. Thanks for reliving this forum
thanks, nice rom
Very nice rom, but mic still don't work..
Brill
The dictionary program Merriam-Webster installs and runs great on this ROM. It is free in its trial mode.
I also installed Youtubeplay, which is a bit of a chore with the screen resolution. I might install the VGA resolution changer so that I can change resolution, as I do rather miss the extra sceen space in google maps.
I also found the screen rotation to be a handy tool, so I am going to install quick menus or something similar.
gullum
thanks for the awesome ROM. Did you try to port XIP from the chinese RAW files that I posted in a different thread? I vaguely remember that MIC was working in that ROM. ROM version is 1.33.xxx Chinese Traditional. Even alex_time also confirmed that he saw that in his Italian ROM. He also posted the RAW files and posted the links for them in a different thread.
Thanks again

Hi gullum
Here the RAW files of 1.33.xxxx.x CHT version of Shift for your perusal.
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=ed841c81829ca884d2db6fb9a8902bda
This is for all you people that love the WM6.5 Close/OK buttons but don't like want to use WM6.5 right now because of all it's errors.
Requirements:
WKTASK 1.2.*
Installation:
1. Copy the PNG files onto your PDA preferable to a folder within your My Documents to make things easier and more organised (e.g. My Documents\Themes)
2. Then open your WKTASK preferences (Open WKTASK in your startmenu and then hit your right softkey for the menu)
3. Goto the Skins tab and tick "Use a skin File for X/OK buttons
4. Find the PNG files for WKTASK (From step 1)
5. Press OK
NOTE:
The VGA/QVGA skins might differ from one another as i made the VGA skins AFTER the QVGA ones without a PSD so they will differ most likely.
First 2 attached images are (W)QVGA, the last 2 are (W)VGA.
PS: If there is a thread for WKTASK skins on XDA, please pm me lol.
Thanks for these. They look fantastic.
Good work indeed! Thanks,
Dave
Hey thanks.. looking great! good work!.. btw.. maybe it would be a good idea to get a WKTask themes thread started.. i haven't ever seen any other themes or skins for this great program.. but then again.. i haven't really looked around for them specifically...
speaking of wktask, does anyone know how to disable the taskbar feature? I only need the launcher

Woops my bad lol, it should be 1.2.*
Also, I do agree that a WKTASK skins thread would be great... WKTASK isnt even mentioned on that giant themes thread lol but i shouldnt be the one to do it because I only ever do small inspired pieces and im sorta going through uni now.
sorry to use this thread for this, but its completly related and found none other that mentioned both things together...
Did anyone found a fix or work-around to the closing of the wm6.5 start menu on wktask?
I'm using the TODAY shortcut myself, because if we close it on wktask... it remains closed until a reset is done.
Ahh, you're getting the error where if WKTASK is installed on a WM6.5 System it will refuse to open the honeycomb start menu after a couple of minutes. I don't think ANYONE has found a solution to this yet.. might wanna start a thread on Q&A and see if you get any hits.
no no, wktask works great... its just that, it works too good, lol...
It REALLY closes the start menu, leaving it impossible to reuse without a reset.
I want to add it to the exception list, buts is not a EXE file.
Already sent a email (in english and japanese) to the support team, but no answer for now... :/
start menu problem
if set the wktask to minimize on tap in the wktask options and use htc task manager to close on tap then it should work. it worked for me
I posted that on a new thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509160
...and already anwsered there. That work-around doesnt work on the OK button, only on close.
I've been using WKTask on 6.5 with Quickmenu as my start menu, I actually dont like the honeycomb, its too slow to scroll. But then again I have always used Quickmenu and I dont know if I could ever do without it.
good work ... thanks a lot
Thank you very much for this skin Aegishua. I'm going to use it in my WM6.1 ROM for the Rhodium
Will post the credits to you, link to my ROM is HERE.
I have an AT&T Pure (Topaz) with Dutty's WM6.5 LEO R4 Ultimate WWE ROM and love it - Thank you, Dutty.
I do have one request that someone smarter than myself may be able to help me with... Does anyone have a way to provide another theme (same as this one) with the following changes - 1) No Quick Links on Home screen and, 2) Add Call History to Home screen? (...sort of like Manila 2.1 default Home screen)
I really prefer to see my appointments listed on the Home screen and when I miss a call, it would be nice to quickly find who it came from.
If anyone has actually acomplished this I would appreciate their assistance. I have seen others make similar requests and have found a few threads discussing modding Manila however, the documentation needed to make these particular mods on this ROM, as installed, has alluded me.
In advance, thanks!
voila
only one thing can help you

Thank you. I will see if I can make this work.

hi everybody,that's my first thread here,i'm from italy,my blackstone has a cooked rom "lucapicci nextgen 1.7.2 with wm6.1
i don't like any graphic user interface,after i tried everything,manila,spb mobile shell,pointui....i prefer to use the simply,light,windows without interface.
so,
i wanna try a rom based on wm 6.5 or 6.5.1 but i can't find a picture of the today without graphin interface.
can u help me?
thanx!
i wanted to ask the same thing...
is there an original WM 6.5.1
yay naked is teh pr0n!!11

premium without manila should suit your needs
thanks man,but i can't find any screenshot....
bye!
Use google ? I think there are more than enough 6.5 screenshots arround
Why don't you just disable Sense then?
i've tried to lookin for with google,i found a lot of pics,but i dont know how is the wm6.5 without interface...
maybe i have to choose a rom and flash the blackstone.....
They all have the basic windows interface you just need to disable the HTC one and enable the windows default, as mentioned above there are a million screenshots online if you use a search engine like google.
from any 6.5 rom...
click start/settings/today
you'll then be presented with the theme selection page, at the bottom are two tabs "appearance" and "items"
click the "items" tab
you'll then see a tickbox list
DESELECT "HTC Sense"
SELECT "Windows Default"
press the tick in the top right hand corner
press the home button.
That's how windows 6.5 looks.
If you want you can also change the themes from the "appearance" tab you were at earlier, most roms come with 3 or 4 6.5 themes as well as the htc and windows default versions.

you are wrong.
HTC stuff works under, like oversized keyboard for grannies, very bad contact manager if you really use it, calendar appointment manager (which allows you only to snooze for 5mins), album which leaves goo in every folder it visited, and other not so easily detected stuff.
Disabling these flaws is not possible. Only by removing these brakes from the rom you get normally looking and behaving device.
BTW. there's many good up-to-date national ROMs without htc stuff by local chefs, they're just not WWE
take it easy with Ervius Kitchen give it a try and 2 evenings... you can cook perfect rom according to your choice... better than asking for any made Me did 23089 with only a basic apps I need, some wizards from htc which are not actually so bad (e.g. connection settings which automatically fulfill gprs, the htc keyboard and phone canvas). Man., contacts, etc. removed )
The only very bad thing with Ervius Kitchen by Sparkienl is the dshow driver, which has to be downloaded separately while the original new version is a piece of sh*t... follow the forum and you will see the solution.
If you are interested, I can upload you somewhere my rom... But I recommend you Sparkienl kitchen in this forum and building your own - really the fastest way, much more faster than asking still for improvements anybody.
sure you can upload your ROM somewhere
Or you can share with us the package selections (package.txt or *.erv) you selected.
