Been messing around tonight, still some work to do but happy with it so far!



Launcher pro
Custom wallpaper/dock
Extended controls (well worth 65p)
Tajm (clock)
Battery indicate from leedroid

Thats really good. Love the wallpaper too.

I tried launcher pro, really wasn't impressed, not sure what others are seeing but Sense works fine for me. Do you have a ton of shortcuts/etc (I've only got 3 screens populated)

Launcher pro

Extended controls (well worth 65p) (I've now got the toggles a bit smaller/less obvious on a 1x2 grid)
Tajm (clock)
Battery indicate from leedroid
Alternate dock images for use with launcher pro - here

What made you change your mind?

Nice layout mate... Now there's no point in using a sense rom

Just decided to give launcher one last try. Gone back to icons for the dock, thewords look nice but aren't as functionalin daily usage.
I'm annoyed that the brightness widget options in EC are poor compared to dazzle, I want thepop-up option but don't want to use two different widgets so I'm not sutensils what to do. Also I miss the small Sense digital clock, got a nice numeric one now but tapping it doesn't take you to alarms/etc which i did use a lot.

Check out Digital Clock Widget, tapping that takes you to the alarms and stuff.

Which one though? there are several by different devs on the store with pretty avergae ratings.

Haha, I was using that one but only added via widget, didn't realise you needed to go into it via apps to set the click option, nice one

[Funkstar]

hmmm looking at some of these alternatives, I'm starting to think flashing to a stock HTC ROM and customising the heck out of it is the way to go

[Singh400]

Heads up, OpenDesire v4.0 & LeeDrOiD Mod v2.0 are out!

whats good about those roms?

Two of the most popular custom ROMs, and as for what is good about them. They both have very extensive change logs - read them

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Right i have successfully rooted, installed a new radio and this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703

My enxt question is how do i install apps on the sdcard? when i go to applications in the settings, the "move to sd card" is greyed out on mostly all the apps i have just downloaded

[Funkstar]

The app has to support being moved to an SD card, most don't. Disappointingly, most of the Google apps don't either.

Hi guys. i just notice how the twitter app no longer works on both stock 2.1 roms and all the cooked 2.2 roms such as LeeDroid and i think i know why.

i just got an email stating twitter will now use Oauth to authenticate your credentials so im guessing HTC apps dont use Oauth yet

Yeah, a lot of Twitter apps are failing to login in now. Blame the devs for this. Twitter has been planning the changes for ages now.

[Funkstar]

Yeah, I've read they announced this back in December apparently, so there really isn't an excuse for the likes of HTC not updating their software to handle the change.

Unless Oauth has issues meaning developers don't want to handle it and are refusing to ablige Twitter.
