More details please. What's problem with touch responsivity? May be it is time to HR?

If you have installed the Touch Tools app I have mentioned to you before. Then just use itcto set your touch sesativity higher or lower, justcpokecaround some with the app you will see it is well worth installing. It gives you so much control over your HD2 using Windows Mobile.

Unless the app developer has add another feature or something seems I last used it. I only had to download and installcthe app. The part I am talking about is in the Touch Tools part of te app. I will be sighting this from memory here so it may not be 100% corect. Go to Start>TouchTools> Touch Tools>Menu>User interface I think. You should be able to find it then.

hi, t-mac. i went into the settings of touch tools 2.0. but i dont see any features that provide touch sensitivity. i did see, 'start menu icons per row', 'menu bar font size,' 'minimum tap time,' etc. but, i dont see any specific feature for touch screen.
also, i installed, 'co0kie's home tab' that installs 4 icon quick links instead of 3 in the home screen. i dont like it. i want the original 3 quick links back. but theres no way to get that back. the 'edit lock screen layout' feature is greyed out. i like the program's feature that lets you scroll across to give you more quick links, though. is there a way to keep this feature while getting the 3 quick links back? and how do i ungrey the 'edit lock screen layout' feature?
if you can help me with these 2 issues, i'd be indebted to you. thanks man.

You are looking for s2u2 (Slide to Unlock 2). You can download it here: http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/. Just download the QVGA version, unzip the ZIP file, and then move the CAB to your device and run it to install. Hope this helps.
You really need to do a search....

I think the point is moot now. He has his answer and he knows that he should have searched.
why stock
You gotta trick out your phone now that you got it. It will take time to figure out. If ur using the std today screen you gotta start there. Try the new spb mobile shell 3 for free for 15 days then try some of the other themes out there. For S2U2 you need to be sure to get 2.04 cause the prior betas are buggy and will cause you fits. get s2p from A_C also it combines nicely with s2u2 and is a nice media player.

I'm wondering the exact same thing myself mate.
Can no-one help?
Another here who misses the 'Quick Menu'.
There's a lot of talk on not being able to shut down programs that are loaded into memory without now having to launch the Task Manager first, but this was all part of the same HTC Task Manager.... you either closed it or brought it to the front.

several threads going on this. HTC task manager cab can be found in the threads "hints and tips". The cab has been provided by Dutty Throy. I have read that some users need to disable htc sence before installing.

Yes, I'm well aware of those topics. I've contributed to some myself.
What I am saying though is although there is a lot of talk on this no one seems to mention the Quick Menu's acxess list.
Everone talks of being able to access the closed 'X'.

I agree. If the memory management is so super-duper that it can leave programs open and not have a detrimental effect then that doesn't help me switch between them on my MULTI-TASKING smart phone now does it!
I just want the quick menu back. I hate the idea of having to flash a ROM onto a phone that I've had for less than a day, just to get some of the functionality that I expected to be standard.
You can switch to running application by running it again.

I've been using a very similar OS for over a year now, and have always been able to just click the down arrow in the top right of my home screen for a list of running apps. This is what people are asking for, not work-rounds.
Besides, if the app in question is in a sub-menu of a sub-menu of the start menu, then it becomes a real pain to run it again. It's quicker to stick the task manager on your quick links on the home page and use that (despite the fact that that is ANOTHER app running, and we don't have access to exclusions any more either).

Yes but this is exactly why there is an issue in not having a 'Quick Menu'.
Running them again you have to open Start then find the program (of which if you have many, many programs/games can take quite a bit of effort).
Much simpler to just open the 'Quick Menu' and click on the already opened program.....

Im trying to move\\change order/delete iconsin the start menu.. but all i get is "move to top" am i doing something wrong or do i need a speical program to make these seemingly simple changes?
TIA

I recommend using JWMD's Icon Changer, but many recommend Showaco's reSTART. The 'how to' instructions for each app can be found in that thread I just linked.
Hums.. None of those work like the custom rom i had on my fuze.. I was able to click and hold on an icon, and then it would 'glow' and i could move them around.. Im not sure what program, if any, was used for that either..

Drag and drop feature only works with WM 6.5.X versions. WM 6.5 doesn't support the drag and drop.
Oh wow.. thats... *looks at his phone* kinda lame... guess I'll have to mod it... are there any roms that are just like the "stock" but just upgraded to 6.5.x? I have a tilt 2

HD2: Can the lock slider change to bottom?

Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

Can you explain a bit about this one rather than just post the cab please
You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.
It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

You can also take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632637
At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.
EDIT:
Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].
! It's in German.

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.

[Q] Lockscreen Customization

Ok, i flashed a NAND rom. I customized my home screen using launcher pro, and GO launcher, and minimalistic. Now i only need to customize the lockscreen.
Now i know this must be floating around the forum somewhere or the other. I found a thread about the Hero but not about HD2. Either the search system at XDA sucks, or i don't know how to search.
Anywayz, I want to know how to customize the lockscreen completely to my choice, with my wallpaper, lock style and what not.
I am currentyl running Hyperdroid GBX v12.
Thanks in advance for any help!
