Unable to view the HTC Home Today screen completely - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi,
I loaded the HTC Today Home add-in but am unable to see the contents completely. Is it possible for me to change the size of the fonts or the size of the box on the home screen

search for HTC Home VGA on Universal Forum

Original HTC Polaris Home black screen..??

Could somebody paste here the original HTC Polaris/Cruise Black screen, please...!!! I have a o2 Orbit 2 and the ROM doesn't offer the option for the black screen at the today's home. Instead of that, has a horrible Sunrise Screen which uses black menus
THX in advance

Do you mean this screen? It's not the fully original.

THX isv51, but didn't work, I have no option to choose a black theme on the today screen and when i choose the standard Sunrise screen from o2 and I take another picture (HTC grey) for the background, just look horrible.
Hi,
Don't know if it's of any use but I found a cab file in the windows folder on the TC. HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB If this is the file that runs during customization might be helpful. If you're interested I could upload it for u (not sure about the 'blue' part though).
Do you want the Htc.tsk ?

I don't know about Metanol but I would love the HTC.tsk (I think).
I have an O2 XDA Orbit (i.e. the Artemis-based one not the new Orbit 2 Polaris-based device) and I also like the black colour scheme that HTC use. I've flashed my device to the official O2 WM6 ROM and I don't have (or need) the fancy HTC tabbed Today screen but what I would really like is to be able to change the colours on the default WM6 Crossbow theme to the HTC black colours. I think that if I just install a suitable tsk then this will do it won't it?
If the above is correct then please do post the HTC.tsk and hopefully that might solve Metanol's problem too.

HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB
qtek_metanol I think this is relevant
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357864&highlight=HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB
I will upload the HTC_Home_PPC_Blue.CAB in a couple of hours.
Sorry friends, I really forgot that thread, well, actually I have found the file that i was looking for, the HTC default.tsk.
I'll post it here for some other Orbit 2 users who want to get the simple original black HTC Home screen and so get the possibility to switch off the stardard Sunrise Home Screen.
And so looks the HTC default.
Hi qtek_metanol - i am new to this site and i just recently purchased an O2 Orbit 2 in UK. Managed to find this old thread.
I too would like to get the HTC home screen rather than the O2 theme. Can you let me know if all i need to do is add the HTC default.tsk file to my device under Windows directory to get the HTC home setup. Would this then give me a choice on my Today menu where i can select between O2 and HTC Home?
Finally can you confirm this won;t affect my original settings on my device and if i want to remove it all i need to do is delete the HTC default.tsk file and that would set my phone back to as it was originally?
Thanks
forgot to add that i tried loading the 6 button version and had lots of trouble with that hence i thought maybe the original HTC home (4 button) from the Polaris/Touch Cruise would work better on my Orbit 2. Can you confirm also this is the original Home screen you get on the TC?
Cheers
Hello,
I have a HTC P3600 and after i make a hard reset the screen goes all black, i already try flash the phone but don't result.
If i try to make a hard reset again the screen shows "press ok to make hard reset" after that goes black again.its compleatin %100 but when i want start it its still black screen just light working =mad:
So i think not display problem.
Any solution?

HTC Home VGA

hi,
i've installed a version of htc home vga (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351553 if i remember correctly). when i switch from portrait to landscape, my ui updates almost instantly but the htc home portion of the screen takes minutes to update if at all.
does anyone else have a fully-working version of htc home for vga/ wvga ?
failing that, can anyone suggest a lightweight home screen plugin that can easily be setup to have something similar to the first 3 tabs of htc home - status / applications / contacts ?
thanks in advance

Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406418
It works perfect for me (VGA)
Good luck
thanks for the post. i get the same issue with that one so i'm assuming that it must be a problem with htc home and wvga.
many thanks for taking the time to post.

Diamond2 Background Changer? Action Screen?

Hi There,
is there already a proggy that auto changes my background every x hours? Or does the old Diamond Background Changer still work?
And what about an action screen like fabliv's 9 button for diamond1?
They both work.

wath is the name of that prog that works on Diamond 2
THNX
It's kevin2u Diamond Background Changer and Fabliv's Action Screen. Just search the board for "diamond background changer" and "diamond action screen" and you will get there.
And what about background for all tabs? I have tried Showaco´s but doesn´t work properly on wvga (the picture does not cover all the screen and does not eliminate default background either). Munrus´s for HD doesn´t work either, although it correctly replace all backgrounds it freezes the start menu. Is there any working cab for the topaz yet?
There is some windows program which creates a .cab that installs a selected image file to all tabs, I believe it also came from the HD. But that's not really a good solution, as you can't just select the background on the phone and then display it on all tabs, you need to create a cab and install it.

Thanks for your answer. It is not exactly what I was looking for. It seems that we Topaz owners have to wait a little more for applications and ROMs. Patience then.
Please check this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517904
as far as i tried the action screen doesn't work... Installing went fine, but it did not start correctly. At the home screen there appeared an option 'action' in the bottom left corner, but opening it just directed me to the contacts, not the screeen i was used to on the diamond 1

Application to Generate Wallpaper for TD2

Hello All,
I know TD2 has 800x480 screen and if we give any image for the "Home Screen" of that resolution/size dose not look that original, instead not look that nice as original image.
I have read several post where it is said that the TD2 require a little less size images to display correctly without compressing/loosing the quality, not sure of that size.
Also I read one post where it say how do we convert a 800x480 image so that fits into TD2.
So my question/Curios is do we have any tool developed by any member here where we give input to a 800x480 image file and get converted to the TD2 require size file
I have seen MS also came up with a Theme Generator:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/theme-generator.mspx
Thanks.
Try these cabs.
Shantz changes today pic, background changer changes TF3D wallpaper.
I have not tested these on this device so please report back if they work.

Thanks for the quick reply. But just did a google for this tools and:
1) Diamond BackgroundChanger (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427463)
This will only rotate the background image of the home screen in TF3D mode. I dont think this has ny logic to generate the wallpaper as per TD2 specification.
2) Same as above for today screen.
This is not what we need .
Thanks.

Any good advice for a BG4all working on Sense 2.5 build 19211619 ?
There is a smal bug with Dirty Rain Animation - no tranparency.
To solve it, you must replace 1 manila file. Look here for that:

Sorry sualc... This is for Manila 2.1.
Just a small bug in landscape mode, I've only half os the screen with my wallpaprer and half black.
Any suggestion ?
Max manila
Have you tried Max Manila?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
There is a lot of settings.
You can have different backgrounds on home tab only or on all tabs.
And it works on my D2 with WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.19211619.
Not working for me.
Where do we put the files downloaded from MaxManilla? There are zip files and i can't do that
For Max Manila Ultimate?
Unzip on your PC (or on the SDcard with TotalCommander).
Put the .cab files on your storage and execute.
Same Question?
I Also have manila 2.5 1921, how can i get background for all tabs? when i installed the previous cab a big square shows up on the home screen.

your wallpaper resolution must be increased.
The size of the picture is 1800x1200, seems to be large enough, no ? or to big ?
the basic picture in a lanscape picture -> should it be the problem ?
Should I reduce the size as I see various background picutre available on internet are smaller than mine ?
The landscape is better when the picture size is in square. No black part any more But then only the low part (1/3) of the picture is visible. Which is the better size of a picture to be fully visible on both mode ?
