No it is not fake. He is using SOTI PocketController which overlays an image of your device on your connected window, that is why it is out of alignment.
The skin for WisBar can be found at this link: Windows Vista Portable Edition[QVGA], Version: v1.00
Enjoy
Nice work Patrick! I had this theme on an old iPAQ3115, and have been meaning to move it over to my Mogul, but I am currently using Juni's awesome Navigator theme atm.
BTW, WA3 (technically WA2 too) gives you the option to get rid of the 'Start' title, if you are looking to get as close as possible to Vista.
actually, that redish yellow thing is the lordmiffs battery bar... its kinda cool... it would look different if i had the battery charged it would be green toward the top right fading into a yellow and then red on the top left... i've actually changed it up a little... and i got the WA3 too... thanks for the imput guys...
There are several programs that do the battery bar at the top. Wisbar Lite, iLauncher, etc.
here's the latest thing... i added the SPB Mobile Shell 1.5 and used the HTC Home Customizer to remove 2 of the tabs. I also added skype mobile and upgraded to WA3. I am currently using a Vista (Dark Blue Edition) for the WA3. When i get more done, i'll keep posting it... the battery bar at the top is apart of the WA3 Theme. And i'm using the happy tapping keyboard. thanks for everyone imput...
i was thinking about getting those extra programs up until i saw your free memory...
only things i have running constantly are:
-htc homeplug
-s2u2
-pbar
-dialer and comm mann skins
i get about 21+mb free at boot and by the end of the day around 15mb
just out of curiosity, how does your mogul perform with all those add ins? in terms of say responsiveness...

should work in any resolution.
try it on your own!
Tried it on Elf, stock wm6 rom. Works quite well, both from internal memory and from Storage Card! Eats about 2MB of memory while running with 6-7 tasks. Definitely awesome for a beta version, didn't try to figure out skinning yet so I don't know if it works. Only complaint is the bottom bar, it would look much better full screen. Super thanks for taking the time to update the code!
edit: and about 1.5MB without any tasks open. Wheep, that's a lot!

even worse, not only it keeps snapshots of all running apps. It takes new ones from time to time, so some productivity overhead as well.
for me, just keep Vista in mind.

tiny bug
I have MWC2 cursors installed and everytime i use dynamo the cursor keeps on running and running... I have to either exit dynamo (completely stop it) or completely exit MWC2 cursors..
By the way THANKS for the update and its working perfect on my TMo wing 6.0
Hey gps-lover. Huge thanks for taking the lead on this. Couple of things that I think should be addressed. First of all, I agree that the bottom bar isn't really necessary. Full screen would be welcome here. Also, the re-addition of settings back into the program is needed, and I'd love to see the ability to set a background image, not just a color. Another thing I'd like to see is to have tap-and-hold close a program. Having thumbnails of programs, but then having to click a teeny tiny X if you want to close one kind of defeats part of the purpose to me, and since tap-and-hold presently does nothing, that seems like a logical choice. And finally, is there any way to have Dynamo take a screenshot of a program running in the background? I ask because sometimes (many times) it will take a screenshot of a program as it is being minimized, or else it won't have taken it before something significantly changed on the screen so that the thumbnail displayed does not match up with the program. If Dynamo could take screenshots of background programs and display those, it would solve this nagging issue.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time to work on this great program!

I found this to be a bit on the slow side on Diamond, but it's still a terriffic start. Keep optimizing and you'll have a legend of a program that'll be included in every custom ROM on the planet.

New version released, first post updated with more info
Hello Ather, I found this utility very useful. In hotel, in the night, I leave my Htc on charge near the bed with display on and I launch Simple Clock to trasform it in a digital clock.
Do you think it's possible to add some features? For example a landscape mode, the ability to choice the font color, enable/disable seconds, display alarm settings, etc..
thank you!
heh i didnt know this app was usefull
im currently on Windows 7 and my Visual Studio 2008 DVD is borken, will take few days to get a new one, then i could give it a shot
Thank you Ather, there is a similar app for the iPhone but nothing simple and small for Win Mobile.
The only one is Simple Clock..
Hello,
I have tried it on my touch pro and it shows on the upper left corner and is very small.
I guess it has something to do with resolution.
Any workaround??
thanks in advance..

Looks like this is for QVGA and you have a VGA device, so it shows in one quarter of your screen.

it needs .NETCF 3.5 ( i figured most of the ppc's had it..)
Thanks for the little proggy. Posted simple clock on my site.
possible to set 24H?
its Device dependent, if you set the device's setting to 24H , it will display 24H
It isn't a alarmclock is it?
It's a night clock, so you can use your phone to show the time in the night. It's useful in hotel, for example, and every time you don't have a desktop clock for the night. To make it work correctly you have to disable the auto shut-off function of your phone, in my Htc Trinity I set the time for automatic shut-off to 12hr, I don't think to sleep so much..

NueNoBar2 is updated, should work with all versions of WM now, and it has some mechanisms to try to be intelligent with new versions of WM.
If you don't know what this is, it removes the bottom menu bar on the today screen so you have more space for your today screen items.
It doesn't work with manila (manila makes its own bar).
well doneeeeeee
thank you very much.
No go with Calcu's kitchen 4.4.
Edit: sorry I have Manila turned on!!! Scratch what I said.
is it any other way to remove the menu bar for manilla? Mabye in the settings by chance?
it really annoys the hell outta me..

Hi no2chem, i have some feedback 4 you! ^^
The newest version of nuenobar doesn't work correctly on my device (HTC Diamond)

hope that helps!
bye!
I have the same problem as driskol on my imate 8502.
Back to 1.3 for now.
I have same problem as Driskol, rom build 20771. Previous version 1.3 works correctly.
ah, oldest version i tested was 20931, so that might explain why everyone with version below 20931 is having problems. Guess I'll have to take a look at that.

yeah, i accidently made it work for manila at one point, just have to find the code...
I'm new to this app and it definitely works as advertised. Much appreciated. Just a quick question, is there some sort of hidden quick toggle to get your bottom tray back? It removed the tray along with the soft keys, and sometimes I need quick access to the bottom tray.
Big ISSUE
hey guys i have been using nuenobar for 6months now and i have no idea why hasnt anyone come up with this issue.
NUENOBAR AND TASKBAR MANAGER DONT GO HAND IN HAND.
with nuenobar installed, and taskbar customised to close the application on pressing the close button, the application doesnt close but instead just gets minimised. and then you hav to click on task manager to close it.
why is this so?
Great, glad to see an update for this app. I can slowly phase out using TouchFLO.
i am using touch hd.
nuenobar is working fine until wm6.5 21812
from version wm6.5 21815 onwards nuenobar is not workiung anymore.
can anybody confirm this?
another problem I experience for quite a while: after nuenobar is installed, htc task manager is not closing the applications any more, just minimizing.
i installed this to the treo pro (320x320), i am also experiencing the same as driskol.
any update on this? doesnt seem to work correctly with wm6.5 and also htc task manager no longer close program when hit x even it was set to close when hit the x close button. tia
so did anyone figure out how to remove the bottom softkey bar with manila on?
Thanks to Ervius' Kitchen!

Nice ROM.. I'm testing it.. I'm just wondering if you've got a green theme that matches the green in the taskbar..? Thanx in advance
Your screen shots are very nice. Clean and attractive. The three icon wide menus give large fingered persons better finger action... David.
Easy, fast, appreciated
Was intrigued by the minimalist approach so downloaded your ROM last night in addition to a mediumist (Surface) and a maximalist load (eNRGy). Ran them all and they were ok and pretty. But oh so slow. Installed yours last and it was fast and stable. I do add for my own tastes, mostly SPB Mobile Shell (3.0.1) and Skin Changer (4.1.3), but thats about all in the nice-to-have category. Your build is in the same vein as Da_G and Monx (whose ROMs I have been using for years and whom I think the world of; but who seems to be easing out of the ROM Chef business probably because of all the crap that folks demand of chefs.) They are fast and stable people and not so much into adding the kitchen sink. Well done and thanks.
Thanks for the kind words guys! Glad your enjoying at the moment.
Anything anyone wants adding please let me know. I decided not to cook in the cabs because I know not everyone is the same. Any cab's I do add or find that I like I will mirror.
To the people who create the cabs:
Please let me know if you do NOT want me to mirror. I'm more than happy to mirror free of charge for those of you that need it, especially asit gives you an option alternate to megaupload or rapidshare.

Green theme by the talented Mobile Matt, still in production though! Should be right for you though!
Where's the screenshots?! I wanna see it. Sounds exactly how I build my ROMs except I install Volume Control, HTC X-Button, Notification Manager, and the latest Google Maps (always handy).
The Notification Manager isn't a big deal if you use the CHome homescreen, but it is very handy for Dismissing all the notifications at once (like Missed Calls and Voicemails). I like it personally because it prevents the ugly popups when you accidentally tap a taskbar icon.
Volume control is a must but has it's issues with the default dialer. I'll either hard-code the reg key for the in-call volume so it is turned all the way up or I will just install the HTC PhoneCanvas dialer. Lately I have been using the Tachi dialer but it has lots of issues. Personally the official 5.11 Slide-To-Answer dialer works great. Or you could update the Default dialer skin which helps alot. I've tried several methods and all work pretty well.

I Like it. Nice and Clean ROM. Hope you keep it up to date.
btw> why not use HTC Album V3, can I install it myself with no compatibility problem? and could we have HTC Audio manager v2 in next update but without TF3D is it possible?
Thank you.
oh where is MSN weather and Stocks?
I love this - I just love it. SO fast compared to the so called 'fast' roms out there. Of course it's fast, there's little on it. But that's the little I need
Now, that being said, are there alternatives similar in concept out there? I'd love to try out a few minimal roms.
Really like the ROM.. But I've got one question: Can't run Worms World Party.. Any idea what might be a solution...?? On other ROM's it works perfectly.. Really want it to work with this ROM..
EDIT:
I've found the solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532200

screenshot would be good
how do I add msn to this??
Hi, any new update in future?. Your ROM is the best just don't forget MSN Weather+Stocks and HTC Audio player/manager next Time.
Ok I've been using this for a month now, so I thought I'd post a review:
1) it's fast. It's very very fast. It's faster than anything I've ever tried on my HTC. Boot times, application load time, etc. Very fast.
2) it's bare. Very bare. In fact it's empty. Yet, for the purist like me, it can never be too empty. I'll be the judge of what gets installed or not, thank you very much.
3) load opera, gmaps and skyfire and you got yourself a very decent pseudo-MID. I don't use it for anything else, but I use these three very heavily, and this rom handled it very well indeed. Shame that the GPS on the HTC touch pro is not working as intented -but that's not this ROM's fault.
Now... how about an update? Latest drivers perhaps? An update is what we need.

Reserved for future use.
This new homescreen really works perfect!
Running Gen.Y D2 R5 for diamond now. This works perfect together, thanks!
Good stuff Kamil.
This is heading in the right direction. Can you point me in the right place to move the arrow down a little and maybe display 3 or 4 appointments on the Rhodium's larger display? (Which Manila file?)
The arrow is right in the middle of the blank area on the Rhodium as opposed to your screen shots as its a bigger display. No real issue but would just look tidier on the bottom.
Also the thing that annoys me with HTC's new Sense is that the appointments don't show up unless they are one day away. Have you come across a way to possibly change that?
I'd like to know how you managed to decompile the scripts too. I gave this up as a bad job as I couldn't get the script to decompress beyond 51%. If you did it manually then it's out of my league.
Anyway, nice work.
thanks
This was much awaited
Thank you very much! How about remove the arrow and extend the date of future appointments?!
no date on home now?
so in compact view (small clock)... the date is no longer visible?
I'm glad you like this mod, guys!

I'll prepare a cab for WVGA later.

Nope, it's the same as in Manila 2.1, where I was trying to make it work for a loooong time...

LuaTool copes with most of the scripts, except of the big ones. I've got one decompiled script from kimi_sae_ireba (thanks again).

The first point is easy, but the second is impossible for me.

By default it was not visible.
I've added a cab with a Clean version (no arrows and no dotted lines) and a test WVGA version.
wvga works great on blackstone with togger ROM and sense 2.1
Love the clean look. Very stylish.
Hi Kamil,
Is it possible to make it so I can use a picture as my background on all the tabs in this mod?
I'd also like to know if your mini-tweak which removes the border and what have you around the clock is compatible with this mod or will it override it?
Cheers
p.s. Is there any easy way to change the font colour in Sense 2.1? With the lovely background I want to use I can't read the appointments. The font could do with being black.
In order to have Bg4AllTabs change this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Tweaks.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000001
My mini-mod removing the clock background replaces the graphic file, so it's fully compatible
Regarding the text color, I'll upload a cab changing the font to black on the home screen.
REPORTING for me on my Blackstone WORKING PERFECT Im using the ROM from my signature
Thanks
I'm glad it works fine on WVGA devices
UPDATE Just before a while I uploaded a new version - Black - which features dark font colors on the home screen. Hope you like it.
Very nice mod, thanks for the hard work works on X1 WM6.1 Sense 2.1. (Mr Rusch's NUTS ROM)
However, it seems to slow down moving between Manila tabs - noticeably but not a lot.
The "standard" config on the x1 is to press the right hardware key to bring back the Manila home screen, from another tab or from just another screen. The Manila home screen does not return for me when pressing the hardware key: it does so eventually via Start/Home dropdown menu.
I uninstalled the cab without problems and the transitions are lightning fast again.
If this gives you a clue as to what may be causing the issue, I'll happily try other variants
Sorry, I can't support devices such as Xperia. The files I have edited in this mod have nothing to do with performance, so I'm pretty surprised to hear that. I only change the positions of elements, nothing more.
Perfect mod, working very well on my Touch Pro with latest EnergyRom (21xxx build with Sense 2.1), thanks for this!
Kamil,
Many thanks for doing this.
I have made a small donation for your effort. I wish I could afford more as I appreciate the work you have done on this more than I can afford to spare at the moment.
Have a beer or two on me...
Thanks very much! I'm glad you like my mods
