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
Metanol
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.

qtek_metanol I think this is relevant

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?

Okay,
I may stand alone here, but I HATE the new start menu that comes with WM6.5.
Does anyone know of a way to get rid of it and go back to the functional old style one from WM6.1?
Thanks

try using Quickmenu.

Some Tips of Using QuickMenu.
Also I assume there should be some regitweaks to re-activate the classic StartMenu, keep searching and post here!
Start -> Settings -> Today
Click on the 'Items' tab at the bottom.
Uncheck 'Windows Default' to get rid of the crappy sliding menu, and while you are here, select the options you want on the Today page, and arrange them in whatever order you require.
Click OK until you are back at the Today Start page.
Viola!
how can i reorder positions of new today screen(titanium)..so i want that clock is first...

You can't do it.
The new menu is selected as 'Windows Default'. When it is selected, it unchecks all the others.
It's all or nothing. Old menu style and move stuff about, or new menu style but you are stuck with its layout.
you havent understand, in windows default(actually i like this new home screen) i want to reoreder "tabs", first is picture(it says no photos because i dont know how to change default folder in pictures and videos) second music....and i want that first is clock than text than music than pictures...
so i dont want to change order of old homescreen, i want to change order in new win default home screen!!
It can only be done through a registry tweak.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome
And change keyname ExtensibilityXML to
<Plugins Order="CClock;CMyPhotos;CMusic;CWelcomeCenter;CPhone;CVoicemail;CText;CEmail;CAppointments;CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive" CPRFileName="Titanium" DisplayStyle="Titanium" />
Or similar, depending on what is in it in the first place.
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> 'Items', uncheck 'Windows Default' and press OK (To deactivate it)
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> 'Items', and check 'Windows default' then press OK (To restart it)
The Clock is now at the top!
P.S. This was discovered by messing around with the 6.5 emulator images, and using VS remote tools to read/edit the emulator's registry. Just check the keys on a real phone are the same or similar.
danke schon
Or Dotfred's Start Menu which runs as a service. No .exe to start.Running from the start button.
I´m quite happy with start menu of 6.5 you can reorder it or what ever you want
But also htchome is nice and less RAM eating!

It seems to be not very easy to skin / change anything on the today screen / startmenu on WM6.5

may i ask for same thing,
AGAIN?
i mean - old wm 5-6 menu method?
if someone doensn't know - 2 mb mem is lost by that new..by that fail.
lets say i need these 2 mb.
i am not interested in cpr edits - it is not that idea(cutting cpr insides off provides these 2 mb, BUT - it is not good idea).
do not tell me about quick menu - i am using it since i found it, but - again - IT IS NOT the idea - 2 mb is lost by that ridiculous m$ menu, still.
old shell32 and aygshell is not method too - provides instability and functions loss.
i checked EVERY line of dlls related to find potential clue, there is NO reg value in hexes that provides old menu there....
sad to see, that cotulla stopped working on it...
i assume, it may be something not really possible, then. ;/

dude, plz..i am rommaker,
i can clearly see why i want what i want - 6.5 provides outstanding flash(vide - flashtros, cracktros) experience i need;
it provides amazing performance of emulators i am using(snes, sega, atari xl, neogeo etc).
it provides very good pdf and cbr loading times too.
my question is clearly technical.
i am using asus p525 and i can UNDERCLOCK it to (still) have 100% snes emulation with maxxed out sound on 23017(try this on htc lol), it is amazing, trust me.
i need that power, BUT i need more RAM free.
i got rid of every thing i could like titanium, keyboards, wisplite, useless m$ today plugins, and much more, and i still need MOAR memory free.
of course, if someone knows, how to make wm03 mem management available to use with 6.x, i would be pleased hearing it...
then i could have 80 mb mem free, not 29 ffs.
are there GOOD maniacs to tell me some NOT common ideas?
xdadev been such place...long time ago.
btw - my m8 made THIS(yes, it is 6.5, and, yes it is OLD menu ;p, but..disadvantages of method used made it just proof of concept):

Well Dude. I don't care about emulators, games and so on. If you can come up with some interesting featues of 6.5 I 'll be glad to read about it.Hmm. I just started to make a ROM too, 6.5 I din't like it.

At least you found a way to resurrect the old menu style.
More menu stuff here and here
Nothin,
Me too already stuck on the same issue for a while.
By now what I know is:
You can kill the WM65 start menu in several ways, like using WkTask or MagicButton, or null the cpr.
But once you kill it you must have a replacment, otherwise will lose UI. By now QuickMenu is still best replacement.
I've only noticed that on some Samsung Ominia devices running earlier builds of WM65 they can recall the WM61 classic start menu by a start.exe.
I've asked somebody to upload that file with no response.
I've also downloaded several ROMs from Modaco, but I can not use HTC ROM Emige Editor toeextract files from them.
For more info and thread links, please just search for my post in the past month.
I just noticed that the Tasks screen on my MDA is T Mobile UK branded....they have taken off Email & Messaging and replaced it with Album & Google Maps.
See the attachment I added is the HTC version, and that is what I want. When I slide keyboard out, I like to be able to tap either messaging or Email and type away, not Album & Google Maps!
So is there a way to remove those 2 and put Email & Messaging back?
Thanks in advance,
Wayne.
P.S. I have a MDA Vario IV (T Mobile UK)

You could use the "New Landscape" by 12aon here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475557
not only will you get the things you want, but even more functionality. It's a pretty sweet modification
That looks good, would definitely try it, but as it's T-Mobile branded, the MDA is a little, shall we say..."Pink" themed and this little app's colour wouldn't look right lol
Is there a way at all, to replace the Album & Google Maps in the Tasks Screen with Email & Messaging? I looked in the registry and can find nothing obvious....

I'm not 100% sure, but if you change the theme using TF3D Config, it should carry over the email & messaging, that way you won't have that maps and album button
Ok well, this is all very confusing, so I think I will give up for now.
I was just told that the only way to change the buttons in the Tasks Screen (when you slide the keyboard out) is to re-flash the ROM with HTC's own ROM.
I have never flashed a ROM in my life, don't understand the instructions, so I think I will leave it for the time being and put up with T Mobile's silly "pink" TouchFLO 3D (I hate branding lol). The New Landscape by 12aon is black themed, but T Mobile's theme is pink, so I don't think it'd work lol.
Thanks to those who helped & replied.

Probs a simple (or stupid ) question, however -
I've just installed the TP2 update (wm 6.5/manilla 2.1 w/sense), just wondering how or what triggers the full screen weather effects on the calender/homepage?
I've seen screenshots and vids etc of the full screen effects but haven't actually seen them so far on the today page. Is there specific config or do they just "happen" on their own randomly.
Thanks in advance
Anyone have any ideas at all please?
It triggers when you leave the touch flo interface and then come back. try to click the HTC task manager(top right corner) to open the running program list and click it again to close it

Dumb question - everything I see on WinMo 6.5 talks about the Titainum home screen. If I turn off HTC Sense to get the stock WinMo 6.5 stuff I see the old 6.1 WinMo Home screen. What gives?
Had this thing 2 days, like it but already thinking about a cooked ROM Want fast and all on one page - time, date, mail in each mailbox, upcoming appointments, missed calls, voicemail waiting yes/no.
The 6.1 style home page would be passable but the new honeycomb start menu sucks.
Anyone else not understand why the rest of the word loves these slide/flick/chase-the-icon-you-want-with-your-thumb-while-it-slides-away interfaces?
I have no idea why people want that.
It's there.....

Thanks manbat, I see what you mean. Feeling a little out of the current fashion for this stuff - the interface that looks best to me is the classic WinMo one - no sliding around and everything on the front screen at a glance.
Not slick looking like Sense, but quick and useful (except the ridiculous Start menu). Any other dinosaur like me feel the same?
