HTC Touch HD out next week exclusive to Starhub

I have just attended a PPCSG organized event with speakers from HTC and Microsoft.

HTC Touch HD was demonstrated with the final ROM for Singapore, tips and tricks are shared and finally Microsoft giving a sneak preview of the Windows Live Wave 3.0.

So the highlight was on HTC Touch HD and live sets were available for us to try.

Since I own a Touch Pro, comparing the speed of the Touch Flo 3D, it’s blazing fast on the Touch HD. I wonder if it’s a software or a hardware enhancement, I haven’t been chasing the news on Touch HD.

New features like Stock updates, Focus zoom on camera takes HTC to another level.

Well, I still prefer a physical keypads, I can’t get used to soft keys but the screen size of the Touch HD really stands out.

Lastly, the Touch HD speaker seems to be better, the audio from YouTube is really loud and clear.

My verdict, if you want to unified your media and mobile needs, HTC Touch HD is for you.

If you surf the xda-developers forums, you will notice there are so many themes on Touch Flo clocks, icons and sliders. Customising them requires you to extract those manila files manually.

Grumps decided to write this application to perform the customising for you. All you need is to extract those files into the following folders.

The Clocks are stored in ….\ManilaCustomiser\Clocks
The Icons are stored in ….\ManilaCustomiser\Icons
The Sliders are stores in ….\ManilaCustomiser\Sliders
The TopCurtains are stores in ….\ManilaCustomiser\TopCurtains
The BottomCurtains are stores in ….\ManilaCustomiser\BottomCurtains

SecondToday on Touch Pro

jiehong — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 13:01:06 +0000

Yea, we all love Touch Flo 3D, but there are certain issues that probably make you wish that a Today Screen will be there.

Enter SecondToday.

Here’s how I customised my soft keys to launch SecondToday instead of Phone. I already have a hard key for phone.

1. First install SecondToday
2. Fire up your registry editor and go to “\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila”
3. Change the value of “HomeLSKPath” to the EXACT location of SecondToday.exe, e.g, “\Programs Files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe” or “\storage Card\Programs Files\SecondToday\SecondToday.exe”
4. Change the value of “HomeLSKText” to “SecondToday” or whatever text that you want to replace “Phone”
5. Soft reset your phone

6. After soft reset, it should show on the LEFT softkey “SecondToday”
7. Click on the LEFT soft key “SecondToday”, SecondToday will be launched.
8. Select the plugins you will like to be displayed and click ok.
9. Now, you are done. To return to Touch Flo, just click on the Home hard key.

To add Secondtoday to the Exclusive List
1. Go to Task Manager, Tap and HOLD onto SecondToday in the Task Manager
2. Select the option “Add Exclusive” on the popup menu.
