Ive noticed that the Manila cab from the blackstone has been ported over so was just wondering if it was possible with the pixon/omina.
I was playing with a friends today and I have to say, this phone is MUCH faster than the X1 and it is definatly a better phone. The only advantage the X1 has is panel and a hard keyboard.
As the Omnia or Pixon run of WinMo6.1 would it be difficult to port it?
I mean, it supports landscape which would obv be triggered by the keyboard being pulled out rather than a accelrometer.
Also, the camera kicks ass on the Omnia. Face Detection and 5mp! I know 5mp is impossible on the X1 but is face dectection too hard to implement? Im guessing the only difference between the two phones is the hardware, so face detection is done on a software level.
It would be great to have this on the X1 as I really like the Omnia and am tempted to swap my X1 for it. The only thing im keeping my X1 for is the panels (not sure why) and the hard keyboard.
Or could the panels be ported to the Omnia?

Wait ....... What ?
I dont know how about you, but surfing the internet @ 240*400 is a pain in the ass IMO. More: No d-pad, no OpenGL-ES (?), WAY worse battery life, etc etc.
The Omnia is no match for the X1.
[edit] Oh, wow, I totally forgot about the Omnia's 128MB of RAM vs the 256MB of the X1 ...
Haha, i personally feel that i will keep the X1 instead, how i was hoping to get a X1 or Touch HD , just go throw in the TF3D from Touch Hd, you will love it...

100% agree
Wow...any of you thought about reading.
I asked for a port of the ROM not a port of the hardware....
Merry Xmas
my understanding is that pixon is a toy phone with a crazy camera from hell
Well the Pixon is its own OS. The Omnia is a windows based phone with a fancy interface and a crazy ass camera.
To be fair, I think they're both equal in term of perfurmance (Omnia has faster processor while Xperia has larger ram) and the OpenGL in Xperia is already taken by the WVGA screen (while in Omnia it WQVGA with no OpenGL) but it still support DivX.
Omnia outstands the Xperia in the camera, including it's flash (although it's Sony's speciality) and Xperia outstands Omina in the display (monitor).
Xperia UI (Panels) is way better than Omnia's (TouchWiz); they're both handy and finger-friendly but TouchWiz is uncustomizable.
Also, Xperia has a full keyboard and more buttons on the outside while Omnia has G-Sensor (Accelerometer) and less in weight, size and price.
Finally, Xperia is better when it comes to SSD Memory Card (don't have to remove the battery) and Stylus (stuck inside instead of hanging on the side). But with the 8 GB inside Omnia, no one needs SSD Memory Card and the interfaces in both are already finger-freindly so through away your styluses.
Well if we go back to the subject...
I think that the difference in screen resolution is a hard nut to crack when porting all the stuff in Omnia to the X1.

exporting doesn't mean raw exporting; it's more of programming the same concept considering the target PPC. I think it's been made already for QVGA devices.

You're right that they didn't answer your question. However, you have to admit; when you need info from people in the X1 forum it's not smart to start by telling why you feel the Omnia is so much better (We all love the X1 here!), as you'll compel others to start a discussion on it.
About that, I've experienced an Omnia. It's a nice toy, but just that, a toy. The X1 is for serious business.
Having said that, I think it's not that easy to port things like panels to the Omnia. As stated above the Omnia's screen just fails in comparison to the X1. Then there's hardware and driver issues to tackle if you get past resolution. I highly doubt you'll find a coder who's willing to do this for you.
I like the Idea of an Omnia Panel
Generally I am tired of the dicussion between the preferences of Omnia / Touch HD / Xperia and so on but I reallylike the idea to have the different phone software on different panels of my X1. Thats why I decided to contribute to this thread. Of course it is not easy to port the Omnia software to the Xperia because of different screen resulution and acceleromater different drivers etc. but thats the challenge!!!
To start the challengenge I want to post all extracted Omnia apps which can found on the following website:
[URL="http://mobile.etechniker.com/"]http://mobile.etechniker.com/[/URL]
I am no developer but already tried to install different apps but with out success. Installing works very well but when you like to start the following error occurs:
"The file 'Contents Manager' can not be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Moreover, today plugins and widgets can not be activated after installation. I already tried the new Samsung D3d drivers and Flash lite to install before I start the apps without any success.
Hope there is anybody else interested in porting Omnia apps to the X1 and can help with this issues.

The thread starter wants it the other way around X1 --> Omnia.
OK If this is the way the thread is about lets delete is from the Xperia Rom section because it does not make any sence to spam rom section. We can start a new thread if anybody is interested in the topic Omnia Panel for X1.
Hi everybody, I recently got a Diamond2 and found that the enormous amount of expertise and help available at xda-developers have really helped me enjoy this phone. The phone is not locally supported by any carriers or retailers in Canada so the availability of these forums have been a real help. I've run through most of the issues I've had with the phone (really like the Pro2 Interface better but was way to bulky) but have a few remaining that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers for, hope you guys will be able to help.
I've downloaded and played around with what seem to be most of the prerequisite softwares: Advanced Config Tool, Klaxon, Changescreen etc. and have also made a couple of registry modifications to enable TF3D rotation and things like that. Here is where I'm getting into a bit of trouble. Although changescreen is a great app I just don't like to install a lot of things on my device and decided to try the regedit. After a soft reset it seemed to work great but was quite slow in switching over to landscape and back. At first I though this was a problem with the g-sensor so I opened up Opera to try it out and found that it was much faster. Obviously it's a lot less graphically intense but I was playing around with a Touch Pro2 before I bought the Diamond2 and it is also significantly faster, with the same processor and everything. I've tried to reduce the sampling time for the g-sensor down from 200ms to 100ms in ACT but that didn't really seem to help. Also I get some really weird lines across the tops of TF3D pages in landscape; in the All Contacts page for example the bar that contains "Search Contacts" will have at least three sets of distorted lines across it at regular intervals across the page. The wallpaper also seems to malfunction as instead of staying as it was, it will stretch across the width of the screen and as a result become extremely distorted. The dialer doesn't go into landscape but that seems to be a common issue. I've downloaded the Rhodium Phone Dialer although I haven't had a chance to install it yet, maybe that will fix the dialer issue.
I do have some app installed that changes the background of all tabs to be the same and this seems to have messed with the transparency of the tab bar and, occasionally the phone will fail to respond to screen swipes that would usually cycle through the tabs without using the tab bar. Maybe this app is also causing the other problems.
The help on these forums has already been a great asset and I was just hoping that I would be able to get some simple fixes for the issues with the landscape thing without having to install more software. Thanks in advance for any help, its all appreciated. Cheers.
PS, rom is 1.39.421.0 (47382) WWE
what you can do to improve things:
1. ditch stock rom and use tess rom
2. install flipit for rotation software - its better than the rest IMO
Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry I wasn't able to reply right away, got a bit busy at uni.
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a new rom but the one you recommended is amazing. The speed increase alone is unbelievable, doesn't even feel like the same device.
Everything is working great and the rotation is really fast now on everything except TF3D. It almost looks like it attempts to rotate and then fails. The title bars rotate around and then rotate back. I've added the regedit, manually removed and added it back into flip_it, but nothing seems to be working. Aside from that everything else seems perfect. Hope you'll be able to help, and once again, thanks.
oh yeah.. forgot to mention about manila in landscape
go to search and look for At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak cab for topaz
install, and in the list of programs, there is option called Manila Rotate ON.
and thats it, you are all set...
hope this helps

Can I ask where to read and get this rom?
I am also new to Topaz.
Running on stock ROM
been reading around. reading on the various rom threads to decide which to use.
I am looking for something stable, fast (aren't we all?) and 6.1. Still got Manila and hopefully with Titanium built in. Also if possible with ringtones removed.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

Thanks for the tip about the tweak program, installed it and followed your directions, manila is now rotating. However, its still incredibly slow; in the range of 3-5 seconds for transition to landscape and then around 1-2 seconds back to portrait. Also, those distortive lines I described earlier are back.
I was hoping for the kind of speed seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVgN5QuzO4 but I do realize that its a different rom. I've disabled and enabled TF3D and also done a soft reset, but no speed increase. I was thinking it may be a hardware issue but everything else works fine. One thing I have noticed though is that since installing this rom some programs get stuck half rotated and the other half of the screen will display the TF3D home page. Once again, thanks for all the help so far.
P.S. If I disable TF3D the blank today screen will rotate at the same speed as in that video if not faster. Also before when the menus rotated but not TF3D they were rotating at the same fast speed.
yes, I know what you mean.. at this stage, manila rotates pretty slow for me too...
I guess at the moment, we have to live with it... the slow rotation only happens on tf3d2 rite? the rest is ok...
as with hardware issue, I am sure it is not, cause topaz is still relatively new...
btw, Manila 2.1 is around, and manila 2.5 is coming too... so, maybe they would give better performance .
btw, the youtube link is a rom made by Tom Condon, and as you probably know, he is very active in building rom for topaz too... why dont you give him a message, or try his rom...
Tha
sorry double post again..
Sounds good
Glad to know that it wasn't just a one off issue. I'll give his rom a shot, was kind of wary b/c of the comments that said WM 6.5 was slow. Would you be able to direct me to somewhere that I'd be able to download TF3D 2.1 alone without a rom upgrade or anything or maybe even cooked into the TESS rom. Thanks for the incredible quick reply and for all the help so far.

if you follow tess forum, then the next release would have manila 2.1
Thanks
Ye, sorry about that didn't quite follow the forum all the way, I guess I'll be waiting. Thanks man.
I ask because I've been working on a superlite ROM for a few weeks, and while I'm all for the idea of having a ROM that is just a platform for doing things with the maximum of speed and the minimum of fuss, I don't know if you guys are. Judging by the ROMs being released and the ROMs that people rave about, it seems not. If it turns out that you guys are interested, I'll put more effort into developing and make it public as soon as I have something worthy of competing with the range here.
Let me know what you think.
And I should ask as well, my concept ROM is basically based around the premise that
1) Everything apart from basic phone functions and essentials should be optional, with the ROM being as close to a blank slate as is reasonable
2) Everything should be doable within as few button pushes as possible
3) The OS should barely even feature, so no elaborate and animations, just straight forward basic and fast functionality
That's the sort of stuff that, to me, would make a perfect ROM. What would you guys want in a lite ROM? How would you want something new to differ from the lite ROMs of old?
A lite rom always is good for speed and performance an maybe even battery life. Though you have to add t3d to it, since it's the only thing that keeps me away from digging to deep into the wimo user interface, wich is so frustrating at times.
Yeah i like the idea of a lite rom, but then it kind of makes you think what's the point in getting a phone such as the X1 if you only want it to only do things nokias could do 10 years ago! And then you have to think, what's bare minimum? just phone? but camera too? and internet? and the extra keyboards so people can use it easily? and the themes so it doesn't look crap? and then T3d so you can actually easily use it without a stylus?
Don't get me wrong i think it is an awesome idea, and would be helpful, i just think it would be incredibly hard to please everyone!
yes i like the idea too..because a lite rom is much faster than a normal and if you need something you can install it later. but in the "FULL" roms there are a lot of things that you wont use etc.
it would very nice if someone could make a lite rom from wm6.5 2303*(or higher) :$
and sorry for my english ... i am hungarian
I am very interested in a lite WM 6.5 rom which has no extra applications added and is just basic and simple 6.5. However i do agree with hyellow with the Touchflo 3d, i do like the TF3D interface, i would like a rom which is basic WM 6.5 with a simple TF3D 2 interface.
i feel like there's plenty of TF3D roms out now, incl. lite TF3D, so a rom without TF3D would be great! i agree with your point 2- as few button presses as possible, that's why i love spb pocket plus and ms3- very customisable
i'm using norti's lite rom now, and even though it hasn't been developed in a while, it's fast, stable and dependable, just how a lite rom should be. i've customised it perfectly to my needs, and although i flash interesting roms, i always go back to nortis lite
i've tried 6.5lite roms too, and all seem slower than 6.1 lites. 6.1 is my preference until 6.5 bugs/ speed improves
as for suggestions/ what i would like;
- is it possible to use 'extendir'? if it works, performance gains could be big?
- include graphics drivers of some sort
- enable UC
- optimise some programs (like opera with ramdisc)
- speed/ memory tweaks
the lite roms of old are very sound, so i don't think it need differ much, maybe just update it when new builds are released?
As you can probably tell i'm very keen for a new lite rom! So thanks for asking opinions, and good luck with it, I look forward to it!
I would thoroughly enjoy a lite rom, please share
which build are you currently using on your rom?
mobilevu also has a lite rom, although he hasn't updated in awhile (doesn't mean it isn't good!)

Something I've got a severely bad habit of doing is writing a line in a post, and then editing it out with the intnetion of putting it back somehwere where it fits in better, but then forgetting to completely, and then finding myself wondering why people are contradicting what I said. I really have to stop it
Anyway, what I meant to put in my post was that my plan for the ROM is to bundle with it an installer app that installs apps in the same way that you'd maybe install components of something like MS Office or of a codec pack, where you just select the bits you want with a series of tickboxes, and the hit OK and wait ten minutes while the installer puts in everything you want. So, in its default state, the ROM would come simply with enough to do just phone, sms, and phonebook, and everything else would be an optional extra, camera and internet and the like inclusive. There'd actually be some pretty nifty advantages to doing it that way, since besides the obvious speed advantage, it'd mean that you'd be able to more-or-less customise the ROM to use whatever components you like. ie, it might all look like this:
--- Camera app
[ ] Omit
[o] Rhodium R3A cam (fastest load times)
[ ] HTC cam (slower to load, tap autofocus)
[ ] Made-up 3rd party camera app (etc)
--- Internet Browser
[ ] None
[x] Iris
[x] Opera 9.7b with onscreen keyboard
[ ] Opera 9.7b without onscreen keyboard
[x] Internet Explorer
--- Media Players
[x] None
[ ] Windows Media Player
[ ] Nitro
And so on, if that makes any sense. The other big advantage to doing it that way would be that apps wouldn't have to be bundled with the ROM, which means far less frequent ROM updates needed. Just the installer bundle app might need an update maybe once every few weeks or so, and then all's cool.
But it's all pretty much theory, curiosities, and pages of my notepad right now with only some basic rough builds knocked together, so I want to hear more thoughts from yourself and everyone else.

Personally, I can't stand TF3D. I still don't understand why it's so popular, but then, I'm not going to argue with you guys, and I'll put the graft in and aim make it an option on the installer app for you.
I read people discusing TF3D. If you want to built a lite rom you don't wanna put TF3D in it. i have currently wm6.5. and did som ram usage tests with home screens.
if you use TF3D the ram usage at cold start is 50% (that is very high for me)
the standard wm6.5 home is arround 36% ram usage
and if you don't use any home plugin (the old way) the ram usage is around 34%
so i suggest if its gonna be a wm6.5 lite version stick with the wm6.5 home.
And use R3 software from kovsky itself not to much from rhodium. the only things i like from fhodium are the volume control and the top bar tap that shows info. the rest isn't needed. for browser take the standard opera that comes with x1 for the zoom with volume buttons it makes zooming much easiyer. and don't put any extra software let users install there own software.
things that could be removed:
1. messenger
2. Windows live
3. widgets
4. IE
Try to not remove to much base software that makes the phone unstable and some functionalitys don't work anymore.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547502
as per the above thread it seems 6.1 is the way to go still. the screenshots i've seen of the new 6.5 builds look good with the 'ok' button at the bottom, but 6.5 seems a step back. the start menu is just horrible, and the home screen doesn't make much sense to me.
i just flashed jack's rom, it's ram usage is 26%, and 29% with mobile shell 3, which isn't bad
the installer app is an excellent idea, that would top UC
for me what i'd like in a rom is manila default (remove titanium)
with panels
thats it...
maybe latest opera 9.7b with all the links in manila fixed up ^^
Personally,
I like just basic fuctionality (usual stable base) and a choice of Touch Flo or Titanium, because at the end of the day, we can get a cab file for everything else cant we? Microsoft MyPhone for online backup/sms or PimBackup or Sprite?
Google maps, facebook, opera, clean ram, iPlayer, and even windows live, why bloat the rom with software that many people dont use?
I like windows media player, but apart from that, i like having to install only what i need to a rom. Also, specifically to the Xperia X1, why do some ROM's have finger keyboard? We have a keyboard! lol, and if the Rom is good enough, screen rotation is pretty instant.
Also, with less programs included, we can install more to the card, leaving more free space on the phone.
note sometimes if core files are removed... the .cab install file wont work
have noted some roms having issues with wlmessenger because it was removed completely...
i got 2 kind of phone.. 1 is for daily call n sms.. xperia is for multi tasking.. so, my xperia never install lite rom b4 wan..sorry..

I think that manila makes WM much more interesting and is a good interface to have on top of WM. I suppose when you come to releasing the rom you can release two versions, one with manila and one without manila.

Oh and put in 'extendir' and the 3d drivers/tweaks
just STRIP EVERY THING that isnt neccesarry we can find our cabs if needed
I am big fan of lite builds! I rather have base OS on which needed apps can be added. For example I don't like TF3D that much, I am bigger fan of the Titanium interface (seems lighter too).
The ideal rom for me would consist of the base which WM has + some extra stuff like dev certs, .NET3.5, Java VM. And everything else is add-able by a CAB file.
I am eager to see the ROM you are working on!
First I wanna thank all the ROM devs around here for their work and time spend to bring us all the new user interfaces to our X1´s. After working for years in developing a linux system I think I know what time and effort you put into this development.
I wanna share how I found MY perfect solution for a ROM which had to fulfill my needs which are:
- fully german localized, because I am a german Kraut
- no major bugs, if possible also no minor bugs
- eye candy
- smooth operation
- good battery performance
- Sense UI 2.1 with weather clock
You have to know I am a "power user", which means I am using the phone for managing my mails (Profimail), surfing the web, chatting, watching Youtube vids, doing phone calls (even that!), playing games, listen to web radio and also FM radio and much more.
After flashing a huge amount of the available ROMs, tweaking them and finally being disappointed after using them for a few days because of the bugs here and there, this is what is working for me for a handful of days now and as far as I can tell, this will be a keeper on my phone:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I flashed Itjes Touch It v3 (german edition) which can be found here: KLICK ME!
This ROM at least was fully german, smooth, with a good RAM usage and a good default software setup. Also it doesnt drain the battery as much as the Manila 2.5 ROMs do.
But this ROM disappointed me in two things, which now are solved for me:
Bug:
There was a (known) problem with the hardware keyboard when trying to type formula data inside Opera browser.
Solution:
Installing Opera 9.7 solved the issue. Cab can be found here: http://www.opera.com/mobile/download/
Bug:
In the german rom the software dialer pad was misaligned and unusable, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4832499&postcount=39
Solution:
As I wrote above, I also was looking for eyecandy on my Xperia. I did experiment with various themes and finally settled on the Dusk theme.
Installing the Dusk (Rhodium) dialer fixed the dialer issue!
The complete Dusk theme for Sense 2.1 can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=570322
Addons (the dialer!) can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524797
For completion I added S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523) with dusk theme (http://s2u2.lifestylepics.de/?page=b&e_id=63).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
For me this combination seems a perfect solution, maybe some of my german mates here can benefit from my experience.
Again a big THANK YOU! to the ROM devs, in this case especially to Itje!
Have fun,
OldNick
Thank you for sharing these informations with us and especially thank you, those who made these nice Rom's and Cab's.
I flashed many Rom's and jumped from one to the other and there are so many, that I have lost the overview. What I miss, is a list with ratings of the Rom's and some kind of clearly laid out list of critique.
But to cut a long story short, great Rom, great Cabs, great advice.

Great solution, although the original dailer would be better than the dusk dialer.
and unfortunately still the mms issue here which I haven't been able to solve...
I added the X2 dialer. Looks rather precious.

Whats wrong with the Dusk dialer? I like how it integrates in the rest of the dusk-themed system. The original dialer would look a bit strange... At least for my taste.

questions?
Can you tell me some more about the ram-usage?
How much ram is available after some time of normal usage?
On my device its around 50-60% after use of some apps and stays there. Beside running different apps I also have a handful of appointments with reminders active each day and I am using the phone as router for my notebook too. I didnt face any RAM problems up to now. Of course a small bit of the RAM is needed by the dusk theme, so you wont be able to come down to 40-45%.
Great
That sounds great ! I will give it a try
Thank you for sharing your experiences with this rom.
My last WM6.5 was a catastrophy and I was just on my way back to the original wm6.1 rom.

Thanks man, finally a WM6.5 which works. Every other german RON I tried, was deleted just a few hours later. Everytime switchd back to cmex 0.8 WM6.1.
Nice solution, looks pretty neat, but has issues - at least for me. Maybe you can help?
For one, the Weather tab just won't update - it did once, 4 days ago, but never since. Hitting the refresh button makes that little globe icon rotate for a few seconds, then nothing. Any suggestions?
Also, Google Maps doesn't seem to pick up any satellites - maybe it doesn't interface with GPS properly, maybe GPS just doesn't see any satellites (weather has been rather crappy these days, so I'm rather reluctant to go out). QuickGPS won't update either. I'm getting slightly frustrated here...
No problems at all on my phone. Everything works properly. Do you have a naked one installed or do you have other apps installed as well?
I followed the suggestions in the original post to get the entire look (very neat), only additional piece of software I installed was Mobipocket Reader.
I really have no idea what the problem is here... Might have to reset and see what that changes.
looks very interesting to me. I always looked for max speed and eyecandy. I also like wm6.5 wich is much more finger friendly. Probably will check this one out. how is battery performance?? always had problams with my X1 and its battery. It sometimes only last for one or two days because of heave performance usage in the background. the real x-button never worked for me :-(
Ok, so I just installed this ROM and also modified it the same way you did. At the beginning typing with the virtual keyboard went fine. But suddenly without any know reason the virtual keyboard changed into "nubmer input" so just signs and numbers. And the key to switch back to qwertz is missing. it should be next to # but there is only a black button. Any suggestions?
Would really appreciate it, if I don't have to do a hard reset or switch to another ROM.
The same problem I've got also.
I already made some posts like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5256704&postcount=972 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=606499 but no solution yet. Thinking about changing to another german ROM like XKan's Topaz v1.07 or YYYYY's H.V4.1
Which Radio version you use?!
tried what you said... and its very nice thx but just use the x2 dialer instead and dont use the dusk theme :] and opera 10 beta which is awesome
I found a way to switch back to "normal keyboard" but not to disable number keypad at all. You have to search for persons in your contact menu. Maybe another textfield works also.
I'm using Softwareversion R3AA010
I don't know why, but my battery decreses really fast since yesterday. I charged it using notebook connection. Before I installed this ROM I always had problems with killing Active Sync. I disconnected from the notebook, Active Sync closed but after some time started again and ran in background. How longs does your battery last?
When I change the settings for the softkeys in settings/personal,
it always resets it to default when restarting the device,
any fix for that?
Hay community...
I flashed this "Energy" Rom yesterday. Before that I was using the latest TAEL rom... this tael rom is windows mobile 6.5.5 and on this version I got this twitter tab but the speed of my system wasn't really good (I also tried some "tweaks" no improvement... also the landscape mode was missing when I slided out the softkeyboard. So I considered to flash this Energy rom.. quite nice.. looks really cool but now.. the twitter tab is missing... the homescreen is a bit different (the program shortcuts seem to be moved to another tab )
and this rom also consumes lots of ram >_< (in addition there are some problems with the landscape mode like strange stripes in the menu bars or title bars)
is there any documentation or information source how I can customize this manila thing completely without cookin a new rom?
and question two.. can anyone tell me a rom series that is well known to be fast and stable (but also with some eyecandy
thanks 4 reading... and excuse me 4 my bad english :/ I'm from germany x]

There are some roms that have the ability to remove tabs for you to use it is in the settings tab. On the rom that i am using it is a TAEL rom where you can click on setting tab, then go to personalize & then click on home screen tabs. check there to see if it is in there or may have to add the tab by modifing the reg.
Im not sure if there is a way too simply add a Twitter tab, I believe most of the times its already cooked in these Roms...
Anyhow depending on what Energy Rom you flashed, there should be a Twitter tab on the Energy Leo Rom, tho its not (in my opinion) as stable as the Energy Phoenix 2 Rom...

~~~~~This Rom should have a Twitter Tab

~~~~~I dont believe this has a Twitter Tab but more stable of the two
Have you tried adding Twitter as a program for Windows Mobile??? I mean if thats the case I think this link can help you out....
//forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480119&highlight=twitter
Here is a more popular Twitter client app that's free.....
freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-motweets.html
yeah I'm currently usin' motweets.. but in this settings tab I already looked for this twitter tab..
hmm I'm currently using the phoenix2 rom...
but I wonder why you can add your twitter account, google mail account and youtube account (theire natively integrated in the settings tabs menu Ö_ö)... I'm a bit confused...
hmm but I think everything you can change while cookin a rom should be able to change on the running system (except for kernal and other critical processes). in fact this manila or sense or what ever this Kick-ass HTC homescreen is called is just a running programm and it should have some config files.. but I am not able to find them cause I'm hatin the laggy windows folder.. microsoft sux ballz >_< why couldn't they distribute those files in some more folders >_<
The Phoenix 2 rom uses manila 2.1, not manila 2.5. Use Energy "Leo" rom for manila 2.5, which has a twitter tab.
yo.. but leo sux ballz
as howudoinn7 said.. its slow and buggy...
has anyone recognized some display errors in landscape mode ,too?
in energy2 rom as some stripes in title bars
and in that tael rom the chef totally forgot the landscape mode hm? the homescreen becomes black if I slide out my softkeyboard only the startmenu bar rests on the right side and the status bar on the left side .__.
in my opinion "leo" works better there's bugs but when isn't there? it runs smother for me so you should give it a try before saying it sucks
I've tried both and Leo's sense 2.5 seems just as quick as 2.1 from phoenix2 roms, especially since he started using the rhodium version of sense 2.5.2012. I prefer the version without maxmanilla. .. it seems less buggy. I'm using cookies home tab mod instead. works great.
blopblopblop
i already tried leo..
maybe these things seem like they do cause I'm not a great friend of tweakin
i wish android would be available... i like unixoid OSes more than microsofts OSes x]
sad about microsofts sick wannabe world ruler stategies x] does anyone know a stable android port to a htc raphael phone? (i would also be pleased with a kiss oriented WM version the raphael )

Regarding Program shortcuts, just flip up the home screen big clock, you'll find'em there.
I am currently using this ROM, very nice so far.

When choosing a ROM and whatever goodies that will have, we should also put things in perspective to Check Manila 2.5 Version since there are Sense 2.5's ported FROM Leo (1Gb) and from Rhodium (512 MB). The ease of use will definitely matter considering that point alone. That in itself already spells a lot of difference. Plus the fact that Sense 2.5 are intended for WVGA devices. All the rest you find for VGA are ported.
Bugs will either be there or can be resolved thru tweaks.
Hope that helps.
Hey what about the sense 2.1 themes??
Hi there, well i've been reading your comments and suddenly i thought i have my raphael with Energy ROM installed but what about if i want to install a new theme?? the DiamondTF3D doesn't work and the sense 2.1 i little bit different to install a theme on it manually, so any idea??? Thnx
