Sense 2.1/2.5 [Updated 24-Nov-10]

its not too bad, most all of the things you need for the basics are on the first post. For the rest of the customizations, there are some scattered throughout the thread, but the things like tsowen's taskbar and such should work just fine.

Like my post above, its hit or miss what works and doesnt work, but the 41 pages of reading isnt too bad.

for anyone else reading this, this app covers alot of the registry related tweaks that are out there right now for our phones. Some things related to Sense, but alot of reg tweaks for WM in general.

"Example: only install 2.52011 tweaks on 2.5201, only install 2.1 tweaks on 2.1 and only install 2.0 tweaks on 2.0. Installing incompatible tweaks will more than likely break the interface and you will be headed for another hard reset!"

Which tweaks should we only install to maximum performance on the Imagio

That is actually meant for appearance tweaks. As far as performance, I only install the cabs on the first post and speedbooster (which I think is more of a placebo than anything, but it makes me feel better!) and it runs really well. Most of the performance tweaks from 2.0 won't do anything, somebody correct me if they have something that does work. Example the res proxy and other memory saving cabs will not work on 2.5 as the settings will get overwritten after a soft reset.

Actually yes, What was quoted earlier that I said didn't work does indeed work. (I think I needed to soft reset after editing the registry?) I don't know but it started working.

Anyway if you're wondering how to do it go into your registry editor and press \\Plugins then registry then HKLM then SOFTWARE then HTC then Manila scroll down and you will see: HomeRSK and HomeLSK text and path. For me I edited the left home softkey (HomeLSK) (the one that said phone) I did this: Pressed HomeLSK text and entered "Lock" then went to HomeLSK path and entered "/windows/devicelock.exe

Worked like a charm.

Hope that helped. (Thanks to whomever I read that from)

Just an FYI, changes to the registry will not show up until a soft reset is done.
Also, for those not comfortable editing the registry, the cab that maxtcee posted in post #412 has the option of changing the left and right soft keys without editing registry keys. I have not tested it yet (because I have my keys setup the way I like them already), but it is there.

Those using sense 2.5 - how fast does everyone's home screen display the weather animation?

When I slide down to the 9 icon screen, the clouds, rain drops etc., move considerably quicker than when on the home screen with the large clock.

Everyone else about the same?

[mikeman233]

I installed 2.5 using instructions on the first page. I had a quick questions. How do i turn off animated wallpapers? Any why won't vibrations work when i press the letters on keypad? I was also wondering why the led light wont turn off even when I have no new notifications (SMS).
