Now seeing that nearly every hd2 owner is no longer content with the winmo os it seems that all development goes into the other os bases. I have no problem with that but i believe that the native os for any device is the best, yes there is better and you can run them, but would u rather develop a means of running a better os or wowing people by bringing back a dead os?
Now to what i actually want to say... before i had the hd2 i had the xperia x1 (still my favourite) i thought of the panel interface as stupid and useless and with the new panel manager i realized something.....The problem is not the concept or the panel manager its the waste of its potential....
Now consider that the hd2 only has the call button to map to an app......if that app was the panel manager and devs created useful panels that the hd2 can utilize instead of stupid uis and half made programs.. ie
1. system panel which would control all the connections and commands like reset
lock ect. Also with a process manager, a ram cleaner and benchmark.
2. fun panel which would control all multimedia playing,uploading social sites and
of course a link to the xda forums.
3. update panel which would sync all the norm ( email weather ect) and also
use app to date for your apps.
4. streaming panel which could be as simple as the youtube app for htc but
could play stored flv files and stream from other sites in the best quality
5. ui and os panel which would either change the current winmo ui eg from
sense to bell or titanium and also boot all the stored os bases from the
storage card ( which is easy it can be a profile system where the user
chooses a profile and navigates to the location of the haret.exe which will
be saved by the panel.
6. hd2 panel which is basically the master of tweaking the hd2 via already
known registry mods.

i know this project would be alot of hard work but think abt it, i just made up 6 great panels off the top of my mind imagine what could happen in future development and dont forget all of this would be at the press of 1 button!!!! ;).


if you read this please comment this is a place of learning. stop reading only for benefits i really want to know what YOU think about this.

1-3 - can be created using sk-i as a base or many of the endkeys (mine in particular). just need some time and a graphics editor. also, why a panel for updating email, etc? just want it do do it.
4- quick link using sk-i. also search VideoLauncherv1.3WVGA for another good video browswer.
5- imo, CHT and CHTS makes all the other windows ui obsolete. also lots of boot programs for haret exist; quick links are your friend.
6- a lot of programs already do this. not sure a panel would be needed. could add the program link to your panels.

seriously CHT can do what you want. SK-I can show you how to spruce it up with panel type system.

cheers.
