Use Your HD2 USB Port As A Host

August 18, 2011 By: egzthunder1

The titan of all time, the HD2 still has a lot of mileage left under its 4.3 inch hood. Even in its native Windows Mobile 6.5, people seem to still be going rather hard at it in terms of development. In this new development, XDA member Cotulla from the DFT team brings us another jaw dropping development on this wonderful device. It seems that after a long time, mainly due to him putting this project off to make room for things like Windows Phone 7 and several other projects that he has worked on over the last year and a half. Enabling USB host functionality will allow your device to recognize USB devices that you would normally use on your computer such as mice, external keyboards, and most importantly, memory (thumb drives, external hard drives, etc). If you were itching to have more storage on your HD2 but do not feel like shelling out US$50 for a 32 GB microSD card, now is your chance to get more storage for a lot less money.

As good as this may sound, it still has its limitations though. Cotulla states that for the time being, it only has HID and MassStorage profiles and that it is also a proof of concept. In any case, this is a great piece of news for those of you in possession of an HD2 and who are still sticking to good old Windows Mobile. Please leave some feedback for the dev if you have a chance to test this.

this project was started long time ago, but then, during luck of free time for this project, it was suspended.
Now, because it seems very hard to improve it more, we make decision to release developed stuffs. Also more interesting projects now appear

RSSTab for HTC Sense Updated

February 1, 2011 By: Ben Elliott

It’s been a while since meltwater‘s much-requested RSSTab for HTC Sense (Windows Mobile) hit the web, and it has evolved considerably in the mean time.

The omission of an RSS-displaying Sense tab was always a relatively unfathomable move by HTC: one would expect that among the easy-to-access Twitter feeds and e-Books, the option to check up on RSS feeds would not be far away. However, it was not until meltwater’s mod that users could realistically find RSS information on their Windows Mobile Sense interface.

Improvements included in the updated modification are refreshed graphics and the extremely useful ability to install the tab from a .cab, as opposed to the somewhat tricky process of manually adding the Manila files.

Give the RSS tab a try by downloading it and following the instructions from this thread.

I’m into customizing the tiny things in manila. So here’s a list of what i’ve done. Maybe one day i’ll create a theme if I have enough time ^^’

I hope you guys enjoy these, i’ve worked very hard on these…
This is still a work in progress. The beta in my opinion came out wonderful~

This was made so I can appreciate both widgets and wallpaper so use it wisely and pick your favorite wallies to use so you can enjoy the full experience of this theme <3

Also set up everything in widgets if you want, i only changed the Main, Phone, Web, Menu, and middle widget which was changed to music via CHT settings. Try it out with a couple of your own custom icons, i’ll also release fonts to use with this theme. Use the dulce one since this one doesn’t have all the icons in place.
