I released some new apps on www.touchxperience.com, I will release more when I will have some time... Those apps are still beta, let me know if you have any suggestion for future versions.
Regarding TouchXperience itself, the dedicated thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=631672
Time Synchronizer
Time Synchronizer allows you to sychronize your device clock with an Internet time server (using SNTP, Daytime Protocol and Time Protocol via TCP/UDP), but also with GPS satellites and cellular network. It is very easy to use: tap an icon to retreive time from the desired source, then tap Synchronize to adjust your system time. Time Synchronizer supports time zones, the time displayed is your local time. You can use any Internet time server, there are predefined addresses of well-known servers. Not all time servers support Daytime Protocol and Time Protocol, SNTP is more accurate.

To Do:
Time synchronization via HTTP, if it is reliable enough (usefull for 3G connections on limited data plans).
File Editor
File Editor is a simple but useful file editor, allowing you to create and open any type of file. File Editor supports text files but you can also edit any file with the included hexadecimal editor. Later, File Editor may come with new features for a full script editor.

TouchPaint
TouchPaint is similar to Microsoft Paint but designed to use with fingers or stylus, allowing you to create drawings or edit images. It supports Bitmap, JPEG, PNG and GIF image formats. You can use different kinds of tools/shapes (pen, brush, eraser, line, rectangle, triangle,...) with any color. It may be useful for example to draw a sketch when you don't have a sheet of paper with you, to draw a diagram and send it via e-mail, or simply to amuse children.

Capture Tool
Capture Tool is an advanced screen capturing utility for Windows Mobile, you can take screenshots using triggers (hardware keys or sensors) or timers (you can enable vibrations to know exactly when the screenshot will be taken). Capture Tool can take several screenshots at regular interval, it supports BMP, JPEG, PNG and GIF image formats, you can also choose the window or the screen area to capture, and the image size. Once the screen is captured, you can send the screenshot directly by e-mail, and in the future version you could edit and add notes to screen captures.

This error is due to .NET CF 3.5 which is not properly integrated in many cooked ROMs.
cool range of apps. But we are looking for your main Touch Experience more than anything, personally more than WP7 Good Luck.
Hi schaps,
do you think that a additional install of .NET 3.5 would fix this "not properly integrated" issue?
Best regards,

This is because some of my apps are codded in pure C# 3.5 contrary to most of other .NET apps. The problem is that .NET CF 3.5 package is messed up on many cooked ROMs and makes impossible to properly upgrade .NET CF...

I can't get to your site. It tries to load indefinitely, as if it was looping. You may want to clear your browser's cache and try again.
Maybe your site is being attacked or blocked by your ISP.
I'm on Comcast, and I know for sure they don't block anything anymore.
It was working till now, there were too much traffic I think, the website is up now.

pic size
Is there any way to scale down the size of the pictures that are imported into Touchpaint? I tried to bring in a pic, and it was zoomed in so close that I couldn't even really see it at all.

Please make sure that your device is cid and sim unlocked before installing the rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...80#post1354180 Also put your device into bootloader manually by pressing the camera button and softreset at the same time
Ok first I just want to say thanks to eaglesteve for helping me test new BT stacks however, I was unable to get a bt stack that would do file transfer to and from phone or laptop and still have it work for bt headsets. I should point out that the bt stack that is in there does work just not for everything some of the files are from the diamond and some are from ap4 and I personally have tested using BT headphones, BT mouse and BT keyboard all at the same time and it works pretty well. I also want to thank ervius for helping me with xip porting and to cmonex for helping with anything I needed help with and thanks to Anunnaki for the animated startup and anyone else I forgot about
I added new splash screens that are in line with the startup theme from my last rom, hope u guys like as I did it myself
Ultra Vanilla: build 19521.1.1.0
added total commander over file explorer
removed stuff from cpl reg
added custsk to config.txt
fixed welcomehead startup
switched band to auto
changed quickgps reg settings to 7 days
changed default phone skin
enabled autotimezone
added tcpmp and all plugins in place of wmp
added easy config for wimp with hardrest option (will be explained in download folder)
Of course this is a uc compliant rom if you are unfamiliar with this then click on the link to find out how to make a sdconfig.txt file so all your apps are loaded automatically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
I have removed about 22mb of stuff but I kept all the reg settings and intflashfiles.dat settings also. So if you want to add any of that stuff back into the rom just copy it to your device and it should work.
There are no screen shots as this is Ultra Vanilla so there is not much to show off

thanks for sharing.
do you know about registry editor from total commander? Looks is not included
looks the button assignation for networks is lost (right side, over power button)and commmgr.exe is not present
Irus,
I just installed it and have the following questions/concerns:
1. I can't find comm manager so I can't turn on wifi.
2. My previous taxis/irus rom did not have any keyboards installed and I liked that about ultra-lite.
3. no real vga to alter dpi (can I install this separately?).

different people use different comm managers so i left it out

you can install that yourself
Ok.
Could you (or someone) point me to a comm manager and the realvga software to download.

GPS is good this time. Cold fix took 1 minutes and 44 seconds outdoor under clear blue sky. The same spot that I stood when I tested the Chinese ROM, which incidentally took more than 6 minutes. But Sprite Terminator still does not work. I think it does not work in WM6.1 period. With Wm6.0 it works.
Noticed an error when trying to navigate to bluetooth folder.
Also, it is strange that a number of my application acquired a generic icon for the application rather than the proper icon. Does anyone else have this problem? Edit: icon appeared after a soft reset.
Still installing application, but it feels fast. I think you have a winner here.

to be honest i noticed better gps fix but i thought it might be tomtom7 as i got a cold fix in under 5 min from in my house and did not use quickgps. so glad to here its not just me. also i know about BT problem i was trying to get the ms stack and the other stack that you tried that worked on file transfers, to coexist but no luck. glad you like it
Truly admire your passion, will only possible to test your latest on week-end.
irus,
I thought you had WIMP cooked in, but can't seem to find it.
Your spalsh screen is nice. The only thing I'm uncomfortable is the fact that you advertise to the potential thief how to do hard and soft reset. I'd rather that info be extremely difficult for the thief to obtain.
Cheers.
I wonder if it is just me. I noticed that occasionally the device seems to refuse to reflesh /update the screen, showing completely wrong info and image. For example, the icon of application often does not get instantly updated after an installation. When I was using my eWallet, when I click on the Field tab, it is not showing the screen for that but from whatever was left behind just before this. Some strange behaviour.
There is something strange with some drivers i think.. TT6 (i've installed the common application for anu LITE rom) screen refresh is very slow, changing menus I see a "fading" slow effect and a sloooow refresh rate. (you used net cf 3.5 right?)
Other suggestion
1)I will suggest to remove customer experience
2) Default sounds aren't working
3) too many SIP, they waste resources and memory

I think so too. The refreshing of screen is not functioning normally.
Anyone having problem setting up email accounts and connecting to them? I took several attempts before I managed to set up email account. It did not see the service provider I had set up before. My service provider was strangely not on the pull down list when I tried setting it up manually. Later, after it was set up, attempt to download mail results in something to the effect of invalid settings for connection.

A light-weight application that provides access to media streams directly - eliminating the requirement for a (flash-enabled) mobile browser.
Requires a QVGA, VGA or WVGA device running Windows Mobile Professional (Pocket PC) 6.0 or higher (see the additional requirements below).
http://www.skynetsoftware.com/myPlayer
Features:
> Choose your own media player - define how each stream is played (CorePlayer v1.3.6 is recommended‡)
> Full streaming integration - browse the content as you would from any other supported device
> Extensive TV feed index - hundreds of live TV feeds from around the globe
> Live Radio stations - a selection of International broadcasts
> Custom TV / Radio stations - add your favourites
* CorePlayer is required to watch the high quality live TV channels (please use this config.xml for the best experience)
Requirements:
> A media player that supports RTSP streaming and the mpeg4 codec (CorePlayer v1.3.6 is recommended‡)
> The .NET 2.0 Compact Framework (which is bundled with Windows Mobile Professional 6.0 and above)
‡ HTC's bundled StreamingPlayer and Windows Media Player should also work for users with faster devices (for example the HTC HD2)
*** Whilst streaming video this application will use a considerable amount of bandwidth - please ensure you use it via an unlimited data policy ***
User feedback is always appreciated and should help to improve the usability of future releases.
myPlayer is an independent application and is in no way endorsed by or affiliated with any other content provider.
Latest version: 2.300
Thanks i am testing now trying to watch two pints of larger and a packet of crisps
*** Updated to version 0.2a ***
Change list:
-Menus are now displayed correctly on a 3G connection
-Some other minor tweaks
Works great on a Polaris. Also useable on a Blackstone WVGA. No problems at all and nice to have the standalone application outside of a browser. Only used wifi - can't afford data streaming.
Thank you much!
Any chance of WVGA version?

Yes, I am aware of that version. In some ways craftyb's app inspired me to create the myPlayer app.
This application is a more light-weight alternative (approx 50kb at the time of writing). I tried the iPlayer app on my Kaiser but it didn't like it very much. The stream quality was a little too high - so the video playback was a bit choppy.
myPlayer uses the low bit rate streams which are served via the BBC iPlayer mobile site. The 3G stream in particular is a very low bit rate. It is also QVGA friendly
The intention is to provide an iPlayer service for those using older Windows Mobile devices.

Yep, that is something I will be working on in the near future. I'll probably use the extra space to display more detailed programme information.

I've tried them both and myPlayer is much much faster on Blackstone almost instant in fact. With iPlayer you have to wait for the file to download which takes a long time. Also iPlayer is 914kb whereas myPlayer is 52.6kb.

How will you do that from France? Thought it only works from UK IP addresses or do you have a trick up your sleeve?
Thanx Fry. Works great! (XDA Orbit 2 / Polaris)
This is excellent. I have been struggling for 2 days trying to get iPlayer working on my HTC Trinity with FinixNOver 3.4 ROM.
Playback with Coreplayer is very smooth and your application lightweight.
1. Tried the other iPlayer app and it just would not work properly at all on the Trinity.
2. Tried to get the Opera/HTC Streaming Media solution working but could never get any pucture displayed although sound worked okay (although the sound quality was poor). Also getting to the iPlayer click to play page on Opera 9.5 is quite slow and cumbersome.
3. Tried Skyfire which worked but it was slow and the picture playback was not continuous. Also it is not possible to display the picture in full screen landscape mode.
I only seem to be able to select Catch Up View at the moment, are the other options still being developed?
Once again this is an excellent application and a must have for all existing windows mobile users. I look forward to further updates.
Pros and Cons
Pros - tiny footprint, looks great
Cons - Won't work on Edge or Wifi. I don't have 3G. There is an erroe but it says I need the NCF 3.5 messages cab to read it on the next restart. I know the rom I use has NCF 3.5 installed by default.
I've included a picture of the error message.
Please assist.
Edit: Nevermind. I just read you must have an UK IP address and I'm in the good ole US of A. Please note the IP issue in the original post. I still give the program a thumbs up and would like to congratulate the developer on making a tiny and efficient program. If there is a service like the BBC link in the US I would love for this program to be compatible.

Yes, those views are currently still in development. I hope to add them to one of the next major builds - but currently I am working on improving the reliability of the 3G service.

I get the same error message. Tried installing the messages.cab but still comes up with the same message. I can see the video's to choose from but it doesnt seem to want to play them and throws the above mentioned error message back at me.

I need to sort out how I am going to show the results (the request/receive should be done tonight) then it's into beta and I'll try to figure out how to make a cab then get it sent out
Flibb from hexus here, count me in
A quick update
The search page is done (I'm going to add a search field after the first release, want to get a working product out first) and I am sorting out the data at processing it currently (when you click on an item it loads a new page with more info on it then you can open in a mobile bowser or go back to the results)
I'm ALMOST there guys, I have got to sort out the xml still and embed a browser in a new window to show more details on a deal... or I will sort out my own way around it
And another teaser screenshot, I have added support for tags (The search function works great right now, does all the filtering correctly.... BUT I am dealing with the returned XML currently)
Unfortunately you can only use 2 words as anything non alphanumeric is converted to '-' or the API wont recognise it but i'm working around it so you can use as many tags as you want (Just fixed this actually)
So I have the returned data to sort then it should be go I am going to add a 3rd screen where you can get more details on an individual deal (and load in an image of the product)
That is on a 240x400 screen so an Omnia should be fine
If anyone has dealt with DataSets and how to organise it in a ListView please let me know, I'm trying to deal with it right now and it's a PITA as I haven't used it before

If you want any help with the installer and stuff, then I can try my best to help! Just PM me
Thanks for the app!
~evorgevol
Just finished off v1.0.1, more some incremental changes than anything else. Thanks for the comments from some of the people that have used it
v1.0.1
Changes:
- Fixed installer (app shows up in programs menu as HotUKDeals (with the icon )
- Warning if you get no results instead of loading a blank page
- Slight redesign of results menu (the description at the bottom only shows when you have selected a deal
http://rapidshare.com/files/274779810/HotUKDealsInstallerv1.0.1.CAB
installed and working a treat on my topaz
Cheers
Apologies for not keeping this more up to date, some good and bad news...
Good:
I just got back from holiday
I have plenty of ideas for things to try out for improving the application
I won the category I entered for the contest it was for
http://www.hotukdeals.com/rest-api/contest
Bad:
Obviously being on hliday means no development work done since last update.
Resuming studies in the next few weeks for my degree so it will be much more of a side project as I work on my dissertation
I have had very little feedback on it To be honest I want as much critical feedback as possible.
I'll be working on my own web hosting to avoid reliance on Rapidshare also (I want figures for dowloads of each version etc and having this project on multiple forums means keeping track can be very difficult!)
Thanks for this handy little app works great for me running 6.1 21054
htc prophet
Works on HTC Touch HD, wvga, standard WWE 6.1 ROM
Really like this app, was looking for a PS3, think I may have found one for a good price
Bump to the update, I am going to have some time, I plan to add
- Option to go direct to the website via the link in the page (I have figured out what it is)
But I'd like to know if anything needs to be fixed, if there are any negative points please tell me as I will have some time next month to fix them (got sick leave for a number of weeks due to an upcoming operation)
Been trying to download from rapidshare, but will not let me do so unless I join up, as "no more free slots available"!
Any alternatives?

Worked fine for me on 1.0.1 and the .netCF cabs if you try it again as a free user
Now working, it appears rapidshare blocks free users when it is busy.
Thankyou.
WinMo 6.5 on HTC Touch HD.
App works great, nice and fast, love it.
Cosmetic suggestions:
On the 1st page, maybe make the menu options more finger friendly?
On the results page, maybe split the backgound a bit, like with lined results, which highlight when selected.
Also when selected maybe add a lond decription and the small image?
Badly formatted rough mock up:
...and make the whole bottom part a URL link to the deal itself, like the "Go To Deal" button.
I'm on HotUkDeals EVERY DAY. I love a bargain me.
That looks like a decent suggestion, I have a lot on (doing some demo work on the 360 ATM as well as some big side projects) so I'll try and make the changes that I can seeing as it should be a fairly minor thing to do
I'll try the first page suggestions, will need to see what I can do from the button side of things
LightJacker 1.0.3
Universal backlight fix / TomTom backlight fix
for WM5 & Up
Hi guys! I just installed TomTom on my S740 and found it still has that annoying bug where the backlight keeps going off, so I decided I would write my own app to fix this problem.
It features completely transparent operation with backlight resuming normal function when the target app is not focused (i.e. when one minimizes TomTom), universal-ness so it can be applied to any app, lightweightness, and doesn't touch the system in any way.
In future, I may also expand it to support configurable key-to-key and key-to-mouse translation, to make some PocketPC-only apps usable also on the Smartphone.
For the interested, see all the details at the program's webpage.
And let me know what you think about it.
Thank you!
Thanks! I think it is a great idea!
I have been looking around for such app to keep the backlight always on when necessary - e.g. reading e-books, watching video and etc.
My feedback is it may be a little troublesome to do the link to each application you want to apply?
Is it possible to make it a background app, whereby when turned on it keep the backlight on always, but when turned off it revert back to the default setting in Power management.
Thanks.

I've put on my web page an easier semi-automatic procedure for creating the link, you just have to enter the path to the executable and the name for your shortcut, and download the ready-made .lnk file (be warned that it doesn't work with firefox, though, but it does with IE and Opera.)
I don't think it's so difficult and time-consuming now
There already are apps or mortscritps that do what you want, I.e. changing the systemwide setting, but it is exactly what I don't want to do: impose additional hassle on the user having to start/stop an app, and mess with registry and systemwide settings... I wanted LightJacker to be as invisible to the use as it could.
Hi there thenext1, I tried your app and the set up was fine and it works great, so thanks very much for that. I like the way it picks up the icon from the original app, this got me thinking that you could make an adaption of your app that just injected a new icon into a shortcut for any app and that is all it would do, just to change the icon for any app and nothing else, if you see what I mean, sorry to be a little off topic but just a thought. I have some apps that have horrible Icons I would like a simple way of adding my own Icon into a shortcut. "IconJacker"

That function is outside LightJacker's scope, anyway, you can try editing the .lnk file and changing the last path after the "?" mark to reflect a path to an .ico file on your phone, and editing the last number to be zero or remove it with the comma altogether.
I don't know if it will work.
Perfect idea! Sounds like a super program!! I have been looking for a feature like this!
A question: can it monitor several programs also? (e.g. Tomtom and igo and acrobat reader)? Seems like the shortcut generator can only support one program...

Just create a shortcut for each of your program.... be warned though, I didn't test multiple programs at once. It might not work.
Has anyone gotten this to work with an HTC Touch Pro? I've tried installing this - and after I create the shortcut, and click the master app I'm trying to keep lighted - I get the following error message:
"The file 'ljack' cannot 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."
When I click on the ljack.exe file on it's own - I get the following message:
"LightJacker error 2"
I'd read that another program that requires a purchase, "smartlight" was incompatible with our phones, so I'm wondering if it's something unique to the Touch Pro.

Error 2 means that an incorrect command line was supplied - in your case, no cmd line at all.
The other error with the proper shortcut is a windows mobile generic error, and I don't know why it comes up, it should run fine as it does when start ljack.exe on its own....
Maybe your phone isn't fully app-unlocked?
A super idea for a program! however, a GUI would be nice....
command-line options are not very handy. And I think that is where the Error 2 comes from. I also had trouble using your .lnk maker.
Hmmm, your site seems to be down.
Any chance you could upload the cab here on xda?
Yes, I confirm...
I tried several times.... The website is dead since this morning. So, no chance to download this promissing application until now.
For a very similar app go here:
http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2009/02/dontsleep.html
there is a version which prevents the PPC from entering standby, and one that does it only while wifi is on. Also a great app!

You are right! Will investigate the problem.
@parkhaus: what'd be the GUI for?
I would love to have a program that keeps the backlight on when certain programs are running (Adobe reader, Tomtom, ebook reader, etc).
A menu for defining those programs would be great! making shortcuts for each program is a bit too complicated for most users.
A solution in MortScript you can find here
Note: knowledge of german language is required

An utility in .NET CF can be easily made, but I absolutely don't have any spare time to do it.
Or you can use the method provided by the above users, although it's the old method of changing values in the registry.
Thankyou very much, I needed an app like this for Memory-Map OS5 (App for Off-road satnav in the UK).
I don't suppose you use winmo 6.5 do you? I have another problem with that app in 6.5 where it has icons along the bottom like 6.5 does - however, as 6.5 changes the width of the icons at the bottom, I cannot see all the icons when in the app. If there is any chance you could also code something to alter the size of the bottom buttons whilst in a certain app, that would be even better!
There is a free trial @ http://www.memory-map.co.uk/ should you care to try and code this in.
OK, I used and tested this with TomTom and Memory-Map, and all seems good.
A couple of things, however.
As the size of the app is so small, why go around duplicating it?
Personally, I found that putting LightJacker in \Program Files\LightJack and then doing my app shortcuts like this:
107#"\Program Files\LightJack\ljack.exe" \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe?TomTom Navigator.exe,101
Meant that I could:
a) Only keep one copy of lightjacker for multiple apps. If there is an update, you only need replace the exe and dll once.
b) Use the shortcuts anywhere. I have one shortcut in the start menu, and one in the app folder. That way, if you have to pick an app via a folder list that starts in the root, you do not have to navigate through the windows folder to get to the start folder, which takes ages
Working on Rhodium (ATT Tilt2 - WM 6.5)
This works on my Tilt2, but with the following tweaks.
The author's site recommends this format for the .lnk file, but this didn't work for me. It produced and Error 4:
123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" GoogleMaps.exe?\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe,101
But using the format in the previous post, it works - the backlight stays on while this program is the front program, and the backlight dims properly when the program goes into the background or is shut down:
123#"\Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\ljack.exe" \Storage Card\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe?GoogleMaps.exe,101
The only thing not working is the icon. Following the advice on the author's site, I used Resource Hacker to find the Resource ID for the icon, which appears to be 800. But changing that in the link file stilll results in the link showing a generic icon.
Any suggestions on how to get the proper icon to show in the Start Menu for Google Maps?
Ubuntu for the HTC HD2 version 0.3
This is the new v0.3 release of Ubuntu for the HTC HD2 I announced a while ago on twitter.
Ubuntu is a full Linux distribution - and it's not designed for smartphones. But with the large touchscreen, high display resolution and fast system speed of the HTC HD2 I decided to make Ubuntu easily available to HD2 end users!
This is not a secret warez ROM proprietary junk. Source code information below ! Wiki use for contribution purposes is highly encouraged! You can find all information needed to reconstruct my builds there.
The interest seems large enough so you can expect an improved version 0.4 :
-The no-menu problem will be solved
-It will be bootable via cotulla's MAGLDR and HaRET (Handhelds Revers Engineering Tool)
beta closed!! please do not in quire any longer.
=> I am looking for people to test a 0.4 beta version soon as I'm done. If you are interested please direct message or @ me via twitter @htc_linux as I will send the beta download link there.
Features
* You can get online using 3G and WiFi
* Attach all kinds of USB devices like mice, keyboards, flash drives, card readers, networking devbices, etc. to turn your HD2 into a full PC
* Use full desktop like web browser without the usual limitations found in smartphone browsers
* Use instant messaging
* Watch videos
* Handle text messages and make calls (without sound so far)
* Install thousands of programs for your internet experience, office needs, social networking fun, etc.
* Be cooler because you have something special on your phone!
It is difficult to create a release like this as opposed to all the Android builds for the HD2.
Technical background to this:
The Linux kernel we ported to the HD2 is originally designed for use with Android user space (because we based our work on the Linux kernels of official Android devices) and Ubuntu is originally designed for large laptop or desktop computers.
This means many workarounds on kernel and user space level must be made in order to make this usable.
Despite lots of work not all problems could be tackled yet: Audio and suspend/resume do not work as of v0.3 and it is a bit tricky to navigate.

INSTALL
######
1)Extract the linux folder to the main directory(!) of your Storage Card.
If the linux folder is not located in the main directory of the Card,
it will not work.
Note: This will not touch your phone's internal memory. WinMo or other Linux/Android builds remain unchanged.
QUICKSTART
#########
1) Save all your current work and start the HaRET exectuable to boot Linux.
2) Watch the system boot up fully until you see a graphical desktop interface.
3) It is useful to set the CPU speed up for better performance. Tap the CPU speed meter in the mid of top bar.
4) Use shutdown icon in the home menu to bring the system down savely.
Enjoy!
TUTORIAL VIDEO

Thanks to Jaxbot for shooting this video
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES
##################
Please read the attached and included readme.txt for detailed information.
Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick basis
-optimized for our hd2 CPU
-large performance improvement
-up to date app versions
-new graphical interface
Better connectivity
-3 modes to interact via USB selectable
-file transfer and interactive shell via ADB and USB ETHERNET (ssh)
-USB HOST mode to connect thousands of peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, usb mass storage devices.
Improved drivers
-Backlight control
-Battery charging and state reading
IMPORTANT NOTES
##############
-There is a known problem with the menu not appearing so you will only see a single icon on a normal desktop instead of the fancy menu seen above. You can fix it as explained below.
-There is still no audio in calls and generally due to lack fo ALSA driver for hd2.
-The hardware keys don't work
-No screen rotation added
-The battery % can only be read via shortcut. Icon will always show low state
Please do not report these problems.
In case you are affected by the no-menu problem here is a quick fix:
Add the 'main menu' in the top panel in order to start apps:
-Tap and hold a free spot in the top panel for like 3 secs (note that the area between the left and middle icons is not free s1pace but the window picker) and release the cursor. This is supposed to simulate right click. It is a big tricky..
-A drop down menu should appear
-Select add to panel
-Drag the 'main menu' item to the panel
-You can now start programs and edit settings.
a)In settings menu select session settings and make 'Ubuntu netbook 2d' session default settings menu. Only drawback is you can't add programs to the panel in it.
b)Go to 'startup applications' and try raising the delay in seconds for nbl (netbook-launcher-efl) to start.
Let me know if you get the workaround going in case you were affected
DEVELOPERS' CORNER
################
I documented the most important stuff about 'Ubuntu for HD2' in the htc-linux wiki. With that information you can rebuild it from scratch - or implement other OS like meego, kubuntu, etc.
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ubuntu/Leo
Some parts are not yet updated to match the 0.3 status but I hope I can do it soon.
Get the Linux kernel souce code:
