--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Release 2d)
This Version is for Windows Mobile 6.5 ONLY!

1. Removed: 'Call History Limit' and 'Call ID Match Digits' from the 'Interface' tab of phone settings as these dont really require to be modified. OEM settings are sufficient enough.

3. Changed: A few cosmetic changes to the interface, and introduced NEW HTC style On/Off switches.

4. Removed: TD2 Tools has been rebuilt upon .Net CF 2.0 due to compatibility and stability issues therefore .Net CF 3.5 is no longer required.

5. Fixed: A bug where Enabling/Disabling 'HTC Volume Control' would not function correctly and when application was relaunched, would not display the correct setting status.

6. Improved compatibility with 3rd party / custom ROM's, uDK in particular so TD2 Tools should now function correctly.

7. Changed: Main application icon to a more suitable HTC style icon with rounded edges to make TD2 Tools look more official.

9. At this point, please consider making a donation for all my hard work involved with bringing you this powerful, all in one application!

Please Note: TD2 Tools (Release 2d) reverted back to using .Net CF 2.0 therefore .Net CF 3.5 is no longer a requirement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Version is for Windows Mobile 6.5 ONLY!

1. Changed: Restructured the options on the Phone Tab and removed the Misc. Sub-Tab as some options were redundant.

2. Added: Volume Tab to the Main UI which adds support for controlling which programs can use the compact volume overlay instead of the full screen one when pressing the volume buttons. Backup and Restore functions for the list are also included.

9. Minor bug fixes and improvements.

(Release 1d)

1. The White List should now be the best one available on the internet! Layout has been dramatically improved and now looks more professional and "Backup" and "Restore" functions have now been implemented so you can backup and restore at will. Please bare in mind that if there are already items in your White List then using the "Restore" option will ADD to the existing list.

2. Added: "Auto Disconnect Data Connection" under Power Settings Tab.

3. Minor improvements and optimizations to functions and code.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Release 1c)

1. Improvements to the White List - Now its OPTIONAL whether or not you want to specify the 'ModuleName' for the file path as this is only needed if the 'WindowClass' is the same as another application otherwise BOTH applications will rotate.

2. Fixed a minor bug in the White List code.

3. White List is now as easy as G-Config but with a few extra options.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Release 1b)

1. Totally Re-written the code for the White List feature. Now you can either manually specify 'ModuleName', 'ApplicationName' and 'WindowClass' or just browse for the '.exe' file and use the 'Get Info' button to 'grab' the Window information by inserting the 'Stylus'.

(Release 1a)

2. An error has been identified whereby when the TouchFLO Rotation option is unchecked and the option is already disabled, it caused an exception and crashed the app thus not applying the rest of the settings.

Be great to have everything in one place! Keep us posted!

Here's the "tweaks" I have used:
Nodata
Aktogglewifi
psShutXP (display off, turn off, soft reset)
FDCSoft TaskMgr
hc4 ObexInboxEx VGA (send bluetooth files to SD card)
htcAddicts CleanRAM (not sure if this works 100%)
David Andrs Batti (battery indicator across top of screen)
Showaco All_Programs (4 column Start, Programs for TF3D) - but the implementation isn't bug free
4 column programs and settings - WM standard
Rotation control

Would like to have better implementations of:
Birthday, anniversary reminder - currently using NS birthday
Short cut to Device lock (save wear & tear on hardware key) - the options around seem to take memory or resources


Cheers

will it be program like advanced config or hd tweak or diamond tweak only for topaz?

[lyriquidperfection]

If you are experiencing problems and bugs with the Programs Tab, you need to search for a patched manila file to make it function correctly. The setting option in TD2 Tools only Shows or Hides the Programs Tab.

[bnm7bnm]

so i guess you need to see what's in diamond+hd tweak & advanced config & sktools and pick from there whatever relevant for topaz.

[DeathJester]

A method for preventing the web browser from ever attempting to use 3G / EDGE for data connections while still allowing data for MMS.

Is such a thing possible?

[vicodiamond2]

Nice idea !
So,
- Allow TF3D2 in landscape
- Enable change of TF3D2 programme launcher background
- Enable change of colours and fonts of TF3D2
- Enable to add new shortcuts in the programme launcher page
- Boost TFL3D Performance
- Speed up camera shutter Speed
- Enable to change softkeys
- Enable assigning actions to hardware buttons
- Audio louder
Some already works on my Topaz but there is no app yet. So, thank you.

[georgeono]

yes, there is a way to prevent the PDA from connecting to 3G and EDGE every time: settings - all settings - connections - advanced network - in the HSDPA/HSUPA tab, select enable HSDPA only. I did this and I've no problems...

[lyriquidperfection]

post your views please people!

[bnm7bnm]

-TouchFLO: option to choose between wm6.5 start (or 6.1 start menu) & manila programs tab.
-Comm manager: option to set 8 buttons & choose which. (in advanced config i can choose 8 buttons & press ok it writes error but still saved).
-Camera: high res panorama, additional modes thats not enabled by default.
-Enable/Disable notifications manager.
-Enable/Disable threaded sms.

from advanced config:
-Performances settings.
-Power management settings.

from hd tweak:
-Call settings.
-Camera settings.

from sktools:
-Enable/Disable wifi-g


This might be good replacement for many tweaking app alltogether like hdtweak, advanced config, sktools, gconfig...

hope you make it......good luck!
