Welcome to the "EnergyROM" thread !
If you're looking for a TMobile USA compatible ROM, you found one!
This development thread is for my "Energy" custom firmware series for the HTC Touch HD2 (Leo) device.
The current build numbers and date can be seen in the title of this thread. I usually update the ROMs every few days, as new builds come down the pipe.
I also build my ROMs with four main goals.
Eye candy ( I want my ROM to look great and for it to all flow together nicely)
Speed !!!
Smoothness, consistency and good aesthetics
Stability through private beta testing before public release
I pre-configure a lot of things in my ROM, because when I flash it on my phone, I want it ready to go. So, expect the backlight to be set at the maximum brightness, the ringtone, sms/email and other notifications to already be set. Doing it this way, makes for a nice ROM that's ready out of the box.
I recommend learning to backup your settings with either Sashimi or UC (User Customization). Backing up with SPB Backup or similar products, is NOT recommended, as they tend to backup the previous release's registry/file bugs as well!
Looking at the download folder you will find two core versions of my ROM.
The 21916 Build which is the most reliable and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner! I recommend you start with this first!
The 29022 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.X series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can stay up to date on the status of my ROM development by "following" me on Twitter.
It's definitely the fastest way to get in touch with me and please don't be afraid to tweet me if you see major issues with the ROMs.
I generally do not answer "support" questions on Twitter, as it's really not the proper medium for that. Service packs and quick fixes will always be released
as links in my tweets and that's definitely the fastest way to get a fix for a ROM.

This post features all the Cookie Hometab based ROMs I make.
The original ROM is the "energy" version and that's a good starting point. All the rest, are themes applied to that ROM.
They all come in two versions, Cookie 1.8.5 and Cookie 2.0 (the ROM filename will be labeled "Cookie" and "Cookie.2.0, plus the name of the theme)
You can see more screenshots of these ROMs a couple of posts down.
The two Cookie versions look pretty similar, but Cookie 2.0 has multiple sliding homescreens/freely moveable widgets (similar to Android) and
quite a few more features and speed.
My own 'Energy' style
This is the best ROM version and the way Sense should have been designed by HTC
Offers the biggest customization ability out of all versions. You can add/remove bars or items on the homescreen, arrange items any way you like, plus lots of extra features
Three built in lockscreens. "HD Mini" style, Manila style or Windows style
3 pages of quicklinks with a configurable amount of shortcuts displayed
3 Homescreen layouts to choose from, as seen in the above screenshots, all completely customizable !

Dinik's "Anastasia"
This ROM series is skinned with Dinik's great "Anastasia" theme applied on everything.
Everything has been skinned, including Sense, the start menu items, the soft keyboard, parts of the dialer... etc
_LeCiel_'s ".sencity"
This ROM is themed with the .sencity theme released by _LeCiel_ who is a very talented artist ! Please support his work if possible.
.sencity is not %100 complete yet, but _LeCiel_ is working hard on finishing his work to completely skin the entire ROM.
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
DJC & Bobsbbq's "Touch Of Glass"
This ROM series is skinned with DJC's "Touch of Glass" theme throughout Sense and the Start Menu
More will be skinned as DJC continues his work on the theme in the future...
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
ElCondor's "GTX"
This ROM has the white GTX theme applied
Android styled taskbar, matching dialer, matching start menu background and Action screen background
GTX is a total reskin of the operating system, so expect a very different (white) experience
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <
'Standard' ROMs that have no addons installed on the homescreen. Stock Sense 2.5 !
'Energy'
This series retains the stock functionality of the Sense UI. The files have been compressed by "CFC" compression. making the UI lighter and faster
This ROM still retains my theme and style, plus all the regular apps you find in my ROMs.
There are no homescreen addon-ons in this ROM. The best speed and the most stock functionality.
'Reference'
This ROM is mostly for people that want a close to stock ROM with the stock visual style. It's also perfect for doing your own customizations.
A lot of the cooked in apps are removed in this ROM, the Start menu back to the stock 3 row style
Sense and everything else is back to the default HTC green.
ROMs mostly created for enthusiasts...
MaxSense UI (android style homescreen)
This is a complete rewrite of the Sense homescreen, by maxycy.
It features a 3 screen, Android style, homescreen with widgets! The widgets can be placed ANYWHERE on the three screens.
75 Quicklink accessible on all tabs
You should really visit the original thread for this mod shown on the next line to see all the features!
Link to the original thread for this mod is here > Click <.
Titanium (ROMs for raw speed!)
This is a minimal ROM version without Sense in it. It's used primarily for people that like to customize the default 6.5 homescreen (Titanium)
You can use it to install alternate homescreen interfaces like SPB Mobile Shell, etc
Very low memory footprint and good battery life, but very simple and lacks a lot of features that you would otherwise have available in Sense...

ROM features at a glance:
Very fast startup time. You won't find any startup wizards in this ROM. You'll be up and running in a couple minutes after flashing the ROM and ready to go. No need to spend time to set everything up.
XDA_UC is built in. It will import your custom XML and REG files from your storage card after first boot.
My own Settings Exporter application is found in the Tools folder. Use it to export all your settings after you customize the device. When a new ROM comes down the line, use it to import everything and save time.
Everything is setup to use the phone right after flashing. Sounds, notifications, all options, etc
The HTC Messaging client is removed, leaving the windows built SMS client for much faster texting, but still able to use a nicely skinned Sense text messaging app with "iphone style" messaging bubbles.
XDA_UC FAQ
The XDA_UC cooked in my ROMs is modified from the stock XDA_UC made by Noonski. Great addon, by the way... Noonski did a great job with this !
The version in my ROMs is trimmed down to fit the needs of my ROM series.
Some of the extra features are:
It will copy shortcuts (.lnk files) found in \XDA_UC\Start Menu\ to the device's start menu folder (\windows\Start Menu) in the hierarchy that it finds on the storage card. For example: Let's say you have a navigation package on the storage card, like Navigon. If you make a shortcut to the navigon.exe file as Navigon.lnk and copy it to \XDA_UC\Start Menu\GPS\ as "Navigon.lnk" then on a fresh ROM install it will copy any shortcuts it finds there to the same location on the device, so it'll end up in \Windows\Start Menu\GPS\. This works for other folders on the Start Menu as well. Just put the shortcuts in \xda_uc\Start Menu\ in the folders you will like the shortcuts to appear to, on the device.
It will copy a custom splash screen from \Storage Card\XDA_UC\welcomehead.192.png to \windows automatically and overwrite the one in the ROM.
It will copy a custom Sense background found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\wallpaper_sense.png to the device and set that wallpaper as default in Sense. So rename your wallpaper as "wallpaper_sense.png" and drop it in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\sense\ and on the next ROM flash that wallpaper will become your wallpaper in Sense.
Other than that XDA_UC works as designed by Noonski and it will do the following things:
It will automatically import your PPCbackup (*.pib) file found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install custom XDAS scripts found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install CAB files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will install special CAB files that require user input (such as Agreements or any type of prompt) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\SD
It will silently import REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently install REG files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\Exporter, as exported by my own Settings Exporter, ONLY if the "automatic" file is also present in that folder (and it most cases it should be, enable that option in the Settings Export application's menu)
It will silently import XML files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently import CER files (usually Exchange certificates) found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
It will silently run custom MSCR files found in \Storage Card\XDA_UC\
That's it, but don't forget to checkout the Addons folder and look in the XDA_UC section for tips and tutorials on how to export your email/wifi settings and various little .reg and tweaks you can add to your XDA_UC collection.
As always don't forget to check what installs automatically before reporting a problem with the ROM. Most of the time, if you notice you have a problem that nobody else is experience is because one of the cabs you dropped in the XDA_UC folder is installing automatically while you don't even think about it.
our own tread
i am glad to see we have our own thread , thanx mr. nrg , will try not to pollute this thread . currently using the 21895 mar 26th max and very nice so far.
This was the first rom I tried, went to a few others, and went back. The eye candy and all the little extras are a nice touch.
Of note is battery drain is a bit excessive (as noted in the original thread). I'm losing 10% an hour and that is with very minimal use. I'm using cookie 23549. I did try 21895 but I didn't like it as much. Anybody think that will be better on battery life?
Thoughts?
@ NRGZ28
Do you have any mirrors to your ROMs? I haven't been able to get a complete DL. It keeps cutting of in the middle and I'm very anxious to try them.

I had the same results. Just below the battery seemed to get really warm on 23549. So, I am going to try 21895 Cookie out for a day or two to see what happens.
thanks for the rom, works so smooth on this device
mycomputerisjunk said:
Not crapping on it. Like I sad, it's a great ROM. My phone just happens to get hot using it. Instead of 23549, maybe I'll try 21895.
You always get defensive when someone criticizes your ROM?

For those of you with "warm" batteries for the 26th release, do this:
- Go into \Windows\StartUp and delete "MMTaskManagerhook.lnk" - this is a big savings according to NRG (reboot)
- Turn off your auto "weather" and "stock market" refresh
- Go into Start > Tools > Device Lock and uncheck "enabled" and "lock if playing music"
- Turn down your screen's brightness and/or put on "automatically adjust backlight" (this is a huge savings as well)
Using the "tbattery" app located in Start > Tools > tBattery, my temperature is around 26' C and the draw is around -150 to -160. At idle (suspend), it is around -4 to -5.
NRGZ28 said:
Saying you removed the ROM because you device gets warm is a little more than criticism. Maybe you should try another version at least, before posting that it sucks so bad, you had to uninstall it from your device.
p.s. And yes, I get defensive when I know what's being said doesn't do the ROM justice. You have no idea how much work goes into making these ROMs...

NRG good stuff man you always been a great rom developer. I have been using you since TP2.
I have one question though. why do you all(cooks) use opera 10. I love my pinch to zoom on 9.7 and see no reason why we need 10. Other than that your roms always are the best hands down.
NRG,
Excellent ROM. Just picked up my HD2 and could not wait to put on the Energy Rom. I have been watching it's development through the TP2 (as that is what I wanted before the HD2), but I'm stoked to have the HD2 and this awesome Rom.
Thank you
Anyone know where the Outlook or Email link went to? I used it in the past because I can see all my email accounts from one screen.
hey NRG...
I am set up to get ur tweets via text... its been a couple days since u recommended to delete that file from the start up folder...
did you do this on the cookie 23549 26th rom?? and if so did you notice a huge improvement??
I am on your 21895 Maxmanila and battery is very stable on that ROM, so just wanted to asked prior to reflashing back to the cookie ROM (which I love otherwise in EVERY aspect)
does anyone have the MMS setting fix?

And I just might have to try maxmanila when I get home if the battery is better. I love this rom, just not that I have about 5 hours left on my batter and I'm not even half way through the work day.
i just flashed this on my Touch HD2 and i would like to know if anyone can help me out. i set up the T-Mobile Setting for MMS i can receive but i cant Send any mms i used these settings:
Tap SMS \ MMS.
Tap Menu and select MMS Options.

Tap the Connect via: drop down list and select T-Mo MMS
Tap the WAP Version: drop down list and select WAP 2.0.
Tap Ok or Done
Tap and hold on T-Mo MMS and select Set As Default.
Awesome rom! Thank you! Please whack XDA-UC in favor of plain old UC
Hi NRG,
First off, thank you very, very much for your hard work! I LOVE THIS ROM!
Could I please request that XDA_UC be replaced by good old plain UC in the next builds? I found that XDA-UC, when ran, eats all my XML files in the SD card, drinks all my beer, fraks my cat, and ends up passed out, naked, and covered in puke on the floor
BTW, what radio version do you recommend for this March 26th ROM? What Rilphone.dll version have you cooked in?
And again, THANK YOU!
It's been over a year(?) but i've been working on this for the past few days, and.. here's an update!!
To all nrg rom users:
Use classicflo_slider_v2-nrg_beta.cab
In the classicflo slider v1, nrg roms did not display the upper image. I don't know why this happens. To counter this, a transparent backplate is utilized.
I have not tested this on a nrg rom yet, tell me if it works
If you encounter any problems: take a screenshot + write a description to post here or pm me.
Thanks to

for testing way back when
Hello all,
I've created a slider for sense/manila 2.5 based on the classic monochromatic icons from touchflo3D 2.0.
Todo:
=====
icons to add:
- call history
- manila tv
- facebook
- gps
- change week day preview color
- update all images to cleaned up 256x256*
* other than facebook and call history, the icons may still appear blurry as they have not been 'properly' fixed up as of yet
Changelog:
=========
v2
- added utopykzebulon's call history tab icon
- added netdrg manilatv tab icon
- add meltwater's facebook tab icon
- adjusted some icon positions and sizes
- calendar icon better supports newer manila
- preview icons are now 256x256 in size
- transparent sliderback support for nrg roms
similar to pamas's transparant (Glass) Slider here
v1
Icons include:
Home, people, sms, email, internet, reader, photos & videos, music, calendar, stocks, footprints, recent documents, twitter, weather, programs (not pictured) and settings.
Enjoy!
install instructions (for any .cab file):
=============================
i. uninstall any previous custom installed sliders
1. download the .cab file and move it onto your phone (via activesync) or to your microSD card.
2. use a file explorer program and navigate to where you have placed the .cab file
3. double-click the .cab installer to install. click "ok" or "yes" if required.
installation done!
I've always loved this style, don't know why HTC strayed away. Thanks for sharing.
well i like it
do you have this silder
very well done thanks for sharing it

No, sorry i only have the classic htc one. i think the one you're referring to is made by a carrier - so the image files would be pretty hard to find.
If there are any issues, post them here and i'll try to troubleshoot!
thank you very much for posting this consistant slider. its like the finishing touch of my GTX screen.
Thanks so much man! I've been looking for this for a long time...
Thank you nice to have the "classic" slider
nice! thanks
Thanks for sharing!
Very nice slider, thanks !!
by the way, would be possible to reduce the size preview icons we can see its a little sharped because there are big. and the sms tab icon would be more aligned with the slider (the black square behind)
I suggest this because I like very much your slider !
Brilliant, thanks so much for making this - the new Sense slider is so tacky: like some have already said here, I don't know why HTC abandoned the super slick version...
How can I install this??
Say, I'm currently using a different version of this slider made by Zitoun - only problem I have with it is that the calendar tab's preview icon has the date out of alignment. Does this one have that issue? If not, sign me up, the TF3D iconset is so much nicer than Sense.
Can you make a Facebook tab!? Please!
lippa said:

Click to expand...

yes...
Also make call history icons please??
Edit: The calendar tab would probably look better if the day of the week was darker than white. Also, I haven't used the touchflo interface previously, but is the selected tab supposed to be blank when you're on it's page? In other words, when I slide and stop on a tab, the icon is hidden by just the blank grey tab slider. On the new Touchflo interface, it shows the icon as selected essentially, which is kinda what I prefer. So this may be a bug on my phone with this addon, or I may just be unfamiliar with the old interface...
Thanks for your work though and if these above things are addressed, I'll run this permanently. Currently though, it's not quite where it needs to be for me to run it daily. I'm running the Tmobile HTC LEO with latest EnergyRom.
facebook and manila tv
It is by far the best slidericons collection but:
with facebook and a manilatv icon its even better
So if you could be so kind...

Really nice, better than the default slider, but I would like to report some bugs... if this is the right place to do it...idk
First I noticed on the HTC Rhodium Verizon CDMA version, running latest EnergyRom Jul 24
The Slider does not have an image for whatever tab you are currently on, Its just all black.
And the Calendar shows the date all out of line...
Any chance you could add an icon for the GPS tracker tab?

Hi all,
Now that CHT 2 is out and supports widgets... i know there are lots of devs who will design lots of widgets for CHT.
I proposed a feature a while ago based on the METRO look on Windows Phone 7 for page titles.
Since we can now add widgets i guess someone can design a simple widget editable to type Bold Titles and place them on each page on CHT.
I attached a sample image for what i mean..
since i have no idea on developing such thing, i hope someone will contact me for further discussion .
Also check out this for reference
BIG TITLES for different pages.
It really adds a sweet flavor for each page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649362
Hi typongtv,
why you post your answer not in the CHT main thread (co0kies home tab). There are the right people to ask for a upcomming feature?
Well, I really got lost, CHT used to be located on another thread , now it's on windows mobile APPS thread...
Anyways i will try there..
thanx for the heads up
I have a question and a little help needed also...So here goes:
I have been using NRGZ28's EnergyROM's for quite some time and have also modified the bottom Softkeybar and buttons to be for me good looking with gold on the edges, etc. Can't post them I don't think because NRGZ28 owns EnergyROM, and it happens t be the ROM that all of my crews in Special Forces use to communicate. Like he mentions it's just eye candy, but it's also White and I kind of guess it's a Win CE 6.5 issue and the white logo is located inthe Shell32.dll, which I don't hve the Software needed to pull the Dll and change it....
So I have a small area that is the left bottom button that you hit to get t your apps and folders... Now the problem is ,is that I ave all this cool buttone, etc and have a app launch left button with a White Win Logo on it.
I can't find where to change it with Photoshop CS5 looking at all the imported manila files and all png's period?
Does any one have any idea how to change that, I thought that the "Energy.RHODIUM.23150.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.05" would have at least made a cover png in the ROM or place a png of the Win ColoredLogo over the coordinates of the white win logo launce button left botton andbe cool?
So I thought I would ask here as I have tried to get in touch with NRGZ28 on his Twitter page with no response..
So there,.... I am a programmer but an F-22 pilot first in the military so I leave the programming to the pro's.. and we have a lot going on right now... Can anyone point the correct direction, I have seen cab's with softkeybars that cover the white logo with the real win colored logo.
If it's in the Cookie 1.8.5 cht files or the Manila files please gove me the manila name or the cht name?
If the spelling of anything is off, sorry can't install the spell checker here.
Thanks

F-22 huh? Damn, that's a sweet bird. I envoy you. I'd just about give my right arm to go up in one (or any fighter really).
Anyways, I'm not sure about the answer to your other question. But I doubt that it's Energy specific so you might try posting in one of the more general forums like Windows Mobile Development and Hacking. Your best best is probably try the themes and skinning forum. I can almost guarantee that someone there can give you the answer to your question.
Perhaps if you posted a screen shot, we could assist you better. NRG doesn't mind you modding or changing his ROMs. As long as you don't steal credit for them, he doesn't care what you do with them.
Sounds like you're talking about the Start Button Image. Now for the "normal" 6.5.X Softkey Bar, there's a PNG. The image used depends on the theme (tsk) applied. You'll need to check the registry to find which image is being used. The Icon in Shellres.192.dll is only used in 6.5 when the start menu is on the topbar or if the .tsk is missing the link to the image in 6.5.X.
HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagIcon
HKCU:Software\Microsoft\Today\BubbleTile\BubbleTileFlagDisabledIcon
If you're using the CHT 2.o SoftKey Bar, the image is \windows\CHT_softkey_win.png.
Slight Change in Energy ROM Home Screen..
OK Here we go, guess I should have done this in the first place.......Making these Cell sections for the teams I work with for darkness usage gets kind of frustrating, but it helps a lot as in the resent past...!!!
The imake with the item Pointed, that I need to change not only in this Sense today screen but also the Sensity also latest versions.
Hope the image shows on the post if not just use the link.
I really appreciate th help as I do beleive as a Commander in the military that some of the teams are really going to be very busy on the other side of the globe very shortly...
The Sencity theme ROM is great with the Today Screen but the white SoftKeyBar Icon Images Iwould have to change and also all of the pages of setup areas like the ticks for settings, etc. So I am just going to and try to merge the Sencity Front Home Screen flat appointment, etc areas with this ROM for the time being...
Thank You for all the help and I also wanth to credit NRGZ298 for a great ROM, not too much but shur as H**l as much as we need..

Why not ask about it in the .sencity thread? In the screen shots of the theme in the sencity thread, it shows that bar to be working properly.

Why not ask about it in the .sencity thread? In the screen shots of the theme in the sencity thread, it shows that bar to be working properly.

The problem he's having, is he likes the Sencity Theme, but not the white icons on the slider & settings page, etc. So, he's trying to make his own theme, but doesn't know what _manila files to edit. The attached in the above linked post has the 6 files that manila uses.
EDIT: My suggestion though is to Flash the normal Energy ROM without the theme applied. Than, download the Sencity Theme CAB. Dump the cab using WinCE CAB Manager & delete the icons, etc you don't like. Finally, remake the CAB with only the files left over to install over the normal Energy ROM.

Oh, I thought he was trying to edit the Energy ROM that he was using. I was confused since the .sencity themed Energy ROM already has that cooked in. This makes more sense.

Yeah, from what I get, he's a commander of troops using the Energy ROM on their devices & trying to make it as dark as possible so when they use them at night, it won't give away their position like shining a flash light in the air.

I'm a squad leader, myself, but I make sure that everyone who is planning to bring a phone with them turns the brightness all the way down. I normally like to use GTX. Even in the pitch black night, on the lowest backlight level, you can't see the device at all as long as you aren't stupidly waving it over your head. lol (silly new privates...)
OK;
I guess without getting too involved in what we do, I was trying " yes " to ues the nornal ROM and change the images on the Home page to the Sensity type.. I apologize folks but I can't go into too much except my positon and who serves under my command.
These young men deserve every aspect of technology and every edge that I can give them. The military takes over our carrier signal and then there is a program we run that has all we need for position of I.A.C.C. In Area Combat Control. We are some of the darkest units that exist, and are called on to go and do some of the jobs that require only a few to get some one out of an area they are trapped in of rescue combat groups that are out too far and trapped. We are at night always and never leave them behind.
So there that's about as far as if it isn't too far already as I can go into it. We have gear we use but we have found that being resourceful and using everyday items we can walk the day and if stopped it's just a phone...But hidden is the heart of all the cells power..
What I thought I would do is use the one in the image I posted and transfer the Sensity Flat Black png's in the Sencity ROM to this one. The graphics that NRGZ28 uses in Sencity on the home page are perfect but I would have to change their color to a darker or blacker background. So I guess after I used the manila extractor to bring out to a hard drive all the manila files I then change them to PNGs and place them into another directory.
I have loaded both ROM's and done the same thing and then tried to find the images in the flat Home section manila files change them over to mine with Photoshop, then re-inserted the Manila files from a dir that I save all the changed manila files into.
Then when NRGZ28 comes out with a new ROM I load it and then insert my images over his and PRESTO. Done and gone to play at what we do best.
These civilian oppertunities that present themselves is up to Commanders to change so that it is on less thing my men have to worry about. If they have to type longitude and latitudes in for a pickup during a rush fire fight then they can trust the cells totally with out being seen..
I always strive to do everything I can to dodg the Gov. and not have to wait forever to get equiptment that I think is necessary... An old saying is that a good engineer will use what he's got to build something instead of buying it or ordering it through channels.. If we order it, they know somehow what we have...Bingo you got the story...Always evolving in the field is called staying alive!
Thank for all te input folks, I do really appreciate it, as I have been folloring NRGZ28 ROMS for a year now and won't change but I must make this one happen, I's just too close..
Sencity has too small of checkboxes, etc. if you have to make changes in the field.. It's great here at home. But the other normal ROM is perfectly to see but need Sencity Home Graphics....
Yep!! Went too far into it!! I hope this doesn't get away from me in the wrong way but, it's just a blend of the two. I always figured it was some where in the registry and the images..
I will be asking the XDA folks to clear this Question post pretty soon for good reasons, and keep hitting little post here and there till I have all of the Manils files to make this a simple -> Here guy's load the Rom and import these Manila files....Done Deal!!! Quick and really logical..
Thanks anain folks I appreciate your drive on this one.. Hope I placed the right info here now. If anything else is needed to explain, just let me know..
Thank You

Son;
I hate to say this but GTX is good stuff, but at two miles I could see the glow with an M2..Even at the lowest level you have to realize that you may be on the move and if you are then " You're waving it around ". Be safe out there and never use white background on cell as it's called Phos. Glow...
Good to see ya here though, wondered when someone would show up....!! Some of my folks are monitoring this build I'm trying and I will tell you this much, it's way harder to see a letter thats a grey color than a dimmed white back...We tested it and it and for sure that at two to three miles we could see main components lighter better than small letters dim lite..Just makes Sense <- Well go figure?
Take Care!! Be safe...! I have been doing this since Vietnam....
Now guess who got Moussahwe or what ever his name was in Iraq? Iraq troops got there and the Marines got there and both said they didn't do it.
We were standing 100 yards from them in black and listning to what they said? He was overdosed with Morphine after telling what he needed to..
1 of Fifty gone of list...
Take care again and good to type at you....
I'm out and working on this again....
Thanks for what you do Squad Leader....!
We'll be seeing you....and pls don't use GTX in the field, I know cool and and dead isn't cool, it's cold!

You missed the point of my post. I use GTX normally. When I'm in the field, no matter what ROM I use, The backlight is always turned all the way down. This is nothing new for me. Dimming the backlight keeps the screen in the dark. Even if you're using a black or dark theme, if you're backlight is set to auto or a high setting, it's easy to pick out.
Before we go anywhere, one of the things on my checklist is to make sure that all cells have the sound off and backlights turned down. My main point was that the theme that you use makes less difference in terms of visibility at night than the backlight control does.
Waving your phone around like an idiot will get you seen no matter which ROM or theme you use. Anyway, concealing the device is what's most important. I prefer to rely on the glow-in-the-dark equipment for its low light output and ease of concealability.
My Win 7 Theme was made for the HD2. I don´t know about the compatibilty to other devices. But i want to post it here after some questions and you can try it. I can´t give support, but there were so many downloads, that other users can help you, if you have some questions. I have no wm device at this time.
I think, many of the files will run also on other devices with resolution 480x800

My Windows7 Theme
with many new icons - also in the most sub menus. Only tested with manila 2012!!!
I changed more than 500 icons, all are coming with transparent background. Some golden icons are implemented. It was the work of two weeks and many hours in the evenings and nights.
Don´t worry...your language won´t change after installation of the theme.
Many of the files you will see first time after using it a while.

More of Steve0007: Here, here and here.
Please, post a feedback for the other users. It´s not much work and the thread is refreshed. Also take a look to the keyboard at the end of this post.
EDIT: One bug is in the theme-please copy the attached 695552fb_manila (compressed or uncompressed) AFTER installing the theme cab with Total Commander to windows of your HD2 and overwrite the existing file, because the integrated is not transparent. Then your 2nd slider looks golden like in the preview. Thanks to hatori for his information.
If you have the problem with 6.5.x, that the slider icons are a little bit to high, look at the posts 208 and 209, there´s a mod from Dioky (many thx to him) and all is presented well.

Thank you ...
Hi. Beautiful stuff ;-).
I've installed the theme, comm manager & keyboard on my Touch Pro2 - perfect.
And the sms in conversation mode just blew me away ....
The Droid Sans font complements this theme very well.
Only the dialer is giving me grief - I think 'coz of the BIG difference between the Rhodium & Leo dialers ;-(
Only the numbers show correctly.
Well ....
Good Job Guys & Thanx!
I'm sorry, but the Dialer Skin, Version Europe WM 6.5 ONLY does not work.
I try it in my Topaz, and the screen is fully messed up.
I get back to the Spigot BlackCanvas version working great.
Could this be fixed? Your version is very pretty.
Thanks.
Good job!! Hi, is it useable on the EnergyROM for Samsung Onmia 2?
I cannot give support for these files, you just can try them. I hope someone here, who own a wm6.5 device and has the knowledge,is able to change the necessary files, that the dialer runs also on other devices. I have since 3 month a DHD and cannot work with these things. I offered them here in this section after some questions and i´m pleased, that some of this theme files are running.
