Hey, I appreciate all the good will and effort that goes into making xda such a great place. To show my appreciation, I am uploading some graphical goodies I spent some time on.
First is a new icon set for HHC. I replaced all except for the default launcher icons. I am including a bunch of custom icons, some of which I appropriated but most of which are my own creation.
If you have HHC, unzip this archive and put the "kensIcons" folder (including folder) into:
HTC Home Customizer\Files\icons
You should then be able to select it as an icon set in HHC.
Screen caps and zip file included. More in next post.
Launcher Icons for HHC
Includes icons for audible player, ereader, picsel, etc.
HHC Clock Face
Called orangeGlass, just unzip and put the resulting folder into:
HTC Home Customizer\Files\clock
Dumb but mesmerizing
I put a little animated gif together and used TodayGif so I could watch a Ping Pong goldfish swim around in a circle.
TodayGif cab included, install and then click and hold on the area where it resides in today screen. Use context menu to point at fish2.gif.
hey not bad!!! i liked the .gif fish animations.
keep it up, you might be a ROM chef someday!!!
great idea the todaygift
Thanks Guys
This was the first time I had attemtped to skin all of HTC Home, and there are a lot of friggin icons (I am working on a weather set and it is huge).
I like keeping my Today screen fairly clean, and I find the area today_gif is occupying makes a great place to swipe your finger to get the cube to come up.
I have some other stuff coming, watch this thread, including some new clock face sets and a more unified monochromatic theme/HTC HOME and cube set that is going to look amazing. If you think cylon (it will not be fanboy pictures of Battelstar Galactica and whatnot, but I was just sort of the essesnce of how they look) you will see where I am going.
As for being a chef, probably not in the cards, Dutty, alltheway, Alex, etc. are my heros...

Hi everyone
I have my HD2 and i have to say it is superb.
I have looked everywhere and i cannot see any mods to give the HD2 a classic look on the homescreen. i.e remove the program shorcuts from beneath the clock and enable the old program tab along the bottom.
The large screen is so superb and it is a bit too busy and hides the magnificence of a great wallpaper.
also it would be nice if everyone put in one thread all the personalisation mods that work for them from the HD as well as new ones.
I have tried several of them that used to work on my cooked HD roms but now do not on my HD2.
Thinks like tranparent clocks and i would love to have a transparent top taskbar leaving just the icons floating and bottom bar where the menu and phone shorcuts are with out having to install complete theme chager which tweak too many things.
If anyone can help that would be great
go to settings click menu click more than there is a option home screen
there u can ad your classic stuf and dissable htc sence or enable new WM 6.5 home screen. i hope u can find it
grz.
Settings> Today> Items - remove hooks with "HTC Sense"
I think he's asking for a more TouchFLO look, rather than a Sense UI.
I think you're gonna have to wait a while mate. A lot of the customisations that we thought of as normal on the HD simply aren't available yet on the HD2.
I was the same - my HD was modded like mad, but the HD2 is more like it was out of the box. It took a while, but I'm now very used to the Sense UI, and would feel lost without the functionality that I've gained from that extra clutter.
Have a look at the Sense tweaks and mods thread. That has some good stuff in it, but not as much as you're looking for, yet.

Thanks guys for taking the time to reply to me.
Xinyo i couldnt quite follow your instructions
and Soverign 35 that dosent work either.
However JohnC your are exactly right. It is the classic touch flo look that i am looking for. i would love to have the option to remove the program shorcuts from the homescreen and have the program tab back along the bottom and practically everthing transparent on the home screen.
Maybe htc could give us the option of the classic touchflo look or the htc sense look. in the next rom update. in the mean time all tweaks would be welcome
Just want the classic look on the HD2 too
I have two problems that stop me getting what I want which I ran on my TyTn II perfectly well. HTC in their infinite wisdom have removed the SMS entries from messaging and thus from the messaging today screen plugin. Secondly as they have also removed the task bar options I cannot set either get it in the top right hand corner of the screen or set the X button to close apps rather than just minimise them. Any ideas how I can re-enable these please?
I am more than happy to disable the cluttered SenseUI nonsense. Having SenseUI as an option is one thing, having it forced on you as a result of not being able to do things in the standard interface because HTC have removed them is another. The whole point of Windows Mobile is it's customisability and HTC have managed to break this!
Hi Guys,
As the title suggests, I'm looking to install Rolex,Omega or Tag clocks on my HD2. I would ideally like to install them independently so I can use Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (which allows for 16 quicklinks) as well.
Before I get flamed, I've done a lot of searching and have found clocks that I can use here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595745&page=5
and this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604796
but when I install them, I can't use any quick link apps and I can only use the default 9 quicklinks on the homescreen. The only other solution I've found is installing MaxManila but I don't want to do that as I like to install all of my stuff 1 by 1 rather than having a number of tweaks all installed at once like it making the calendar transparent & stuff which I don't want and it doesn't seem to install correctly on my phone anyway, with the quicklink name halfway up the icon, as I beleive it's designed for the blackstone?
Is there a simple solution to this and/or have I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Bumpity bump-bump
EXACTLY what i want too!
Bumpingtons
And another interested guy^^ There are several cabs for the flipclock and all are working like a charm! But I just need one working analog clock cab only, thats all what I need No MaxManila, no B4all and so on...only clock please!!
Exactly - me too.
Yes,
That's what I'm looking for, the clocks alone. I contacted jaguaralani who seems to be the main guy who makes these clocks and he says that it's not as simple as just whacking a clock on the phone. There are a lot of associated files included with any clock modifications which is why you often see the clocks included with other modifications like sliders, 20 quicklinks etc... I have seen standalone clocks which you can add but they won't let you use Quicklink apps and seem to conflict with other bits and pieces (check my first post for the link).
Thanks

Why not use max manilla.
Its safe and if you like the stock screen on UI just dont change any thing.
Just install the clock as per your wish.
One more thing you can do is that you can actually have two analogue clocks displaying two different time zones.
And as you said, jaguarlani is the one who makes most of them, and i agree they are awesome.
I am using a taghuer clock face. (i have twenty different clocks prepared by jaguarlani).
Just a word of caution dont install any clock hands, otherwise you will end up loosing the original clock hands, and if you un install the hands, the hands wouldnt appear on the clock face (it wont revert the previous ones). Same goes with the clock too, you would need at least one clock installed otherwise the clock would dissapear.
I absolutely love max manilla, give it a shot, its absolutely worth his effort.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Can you explain this a little more please? Can I install MaxManila and not use any functions of it at all like the 20 Quicklinks, Transsliders or anything else except the clocks? I though that if I installed it, it would automatically install those tweaks to the HD2. Am I wrong?
Thanks

That´s what I thought too...I don´t like the clocks periphery (frame) coming with maxmanila, I really want to keep the black background in all other tabs except the starttab (don´t like the B4all thing, to me it´s too confusing and wild in the emailtab for instance ) and there are one or too bugs I dislike with maxmanila (20 shortcuts not working well?).
I agree I just want analogue clock with 16/20 short cuts + call history not the whole MaxManila so I'd be willing to give it a shot put something together but would appreciate if some of the expert manila/sense 2.5 skinners can point me in the right direction as to what tool they use to edit the manila files? is it manila kitchen found here?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548

I don't know what version of Sense you have, but here is my simple analog clock array for 2.5.1922, with no B4all !
If this installs and works ok for you, then we can worry about skinning the clock with one of the other skins out there. Let me know!
If it doesn't work for you, sorry, just uninstall! If it does, I gladly accept beer!
hi mate
thanks for replying! ur clock array didnt work
i got big blank icons in the quicklinks and didnt like the clock
i want too use the normal sense ui date and time but want the omega clock
yt
i will be glad too buy you a beer if you find me a solution

No problem, sorry it didn't work for you. The clocks however are changable, once you have a configuration that works for your rom.
It would be easier to possibly help you, if you could tell me your version of sense. Again, sorry it didn't work on your rom.
hi santod
thanks for helping me mate
how do i find out my sense version??
cheers
I can also offer some beer. I have Manilla 2.5.19211619.0. I would like a replacement for the Sense clock which is similar to this:
lots of beer for santod if he gets us going
my sense version is: 1.0.19211622.1
hope this helps mate!!
looking forward too ur creation....i wanna be able to use the omega and tag watches thanks
all the best
hye,
everywhere on xda I see nice homescreens, how can I get them myself?
I would like to change the background in every tap and maybe set anothe clock... etc.
thanx
Clocks are readily available all over this section of the forum, just search clock and you'll have 100's of options.
Install cookies home tab or max manilla to gve yourself more options...
Different bg's for each tab.............. I've seen a cab somewhere that will display your today screen bg behind all the other tabs but I cant remember where... its in here somewhere though......
Happy searching...............
You have a lot for work to do:
1. Install Co0kie's Home Tab + CHT Editor - MUST haves
2. Install clocks (there are tons, you MUST do a search)
3. If you like to have the same background in all tabs not just home screen, install HDWallS (wallpaper browser) and the correct HDWalls patch. There are a lot of pre-made cabs already but you can always make your own if you install the PC version of HDWalls on your comp. Just search for HDWalls and detailed instructions are there.
4. Check out the LEO TODAY thread so you can see what other people have done and a lot of cabs are there too.
5. With everything else that you feel like doing on and to your phone, I cannot stress enough the you MUST SEARCH first and post a new thread last.
okee cookie home tab v1.8 is realy nice, everything I want
The possibilities for personalization are endless!

First, I will give you the MOST important advice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a program like SPB Backup (it one is not free, but its restored my phone back to the latest settings i liked)... make a backup of your device and save it on your SD card. You don't want to make a mistake, delete a manila file while modding your phone, then try to remove the mod cuz you don't like it. not all the mods are perfect. Having to HARD RESET, will delete everything and restore you back to STOCK SETTINGS. I've personally done this countless times and spend 3 hours reinstalling apps and setting up my cookie HT icons and email, wifi. its a real pain in the butt. Even SK tools has a backup feature. it takes 4 minutes and it saves your tale! If you're forced to do a Hard reset, just restore your backup. also do another backup when you like the particular setup with mods on your device
You may want to do a little research on HDWalls with Cookies HT 1.8, this gives your device transparent bars top and bottom or simply places the wallpaper behind the whole screen removing the top and bottom black bars. its a very clean look. however you do lose the ability to give every screen its own wallpaper except the start menu.
DINIK's Slider, Keyboard, Phone Dialer, and CHT Clock are highly recommended!!! He also makes all black and white icons come to life with color!
look into transparent mods... there's a ton! i have at least 40 installed. Use BSB tweaks and Touch tweaks.
Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..
