HTC Home (DARK/LIGHT/BLUE and NEW GUAVA!)

4 COLORS AVAILABLE! With matching color schemes!
Homescreen inspired by Dr. Gonzo's NEW GUAVA (named after) ROM
for the VOX!. The Homescreen uses the HTC-Home plug-in (the trim-
med down cab, thank you Greg) and Smartmonitor. Both included.
The BAT and SIG icons "drains" (empties) as well as showing the
current status in percent, and when you "highlight" the battery/
memory/signal line on the homescreen, the status changes to show
space (%) left on the mSD-card and local storage.
Install the two .cabs and copy everything else to the Home-DIR.
THANK YOU!
---
DR. MARTIN GONZO, for your awesome VOX Rom! New Guava. Love it!
SGREGORY, for the HTCHome plug-in!

Thanks a lot but I can't get the weather and favorite people to work ?
The second lauches but then stops immediately

Comm Manager Screen to match style?
Thanks for the new home screen! I like the functionality and look! Big improvement over the HTC layout.
I too can not get the favorite people functionality to work. Same issues as Dr. Gonzo The weather did perform fine for me.
I was wondering how to update the Comm Manager screen to match the theme. After installing...I still have the orginal HTC green version.

Get the CommManager.zip from the other thread and extract. There you can change the background and other stuff if you want.

Before I updated to the New_Guava ROM, 1.27 - I was running the 1.15 (danish) Telia ROM on my Vox, and I coudn't open the Fav. People app either! It works however, after updating to v.1.27 ARA (New_Guava)! So ... I thought that the ROM version was the problem, but if you still have issues? Hm.

Thanks looks beautiful but it screwed up my S710 I can't boot beyond the white HTC screen

Thanks You did remember to install the cab-files BEFORE "installing" and using the homescreen, right?

Looks awesome! Am so pleased that people are finally doing some great stuff for the Vox.
I am having a problem with the Home Screen displaying my appointments. The appointments are covering up the bottom half of the screen. Everything else seems to work fine.
Great work!
...edit - Refreshed the Home Screen and all is fine!!! Thank you again!

Yes... I'm very used to this stuff believe me. I've also tried to remove both the sd and sim before booting up, nothing helps... This really makes me sad.

Sounds like you may need to flash a rom?

I don't know if flashing the rom solves the problem because I have the same rom Tho has and the Fav people app doesn't work... neitheir does the weather app..
Edit : After switching the phone to english instead of french the wheather wors but still no favorite people. And is it just me or does it really slow down the phone ? That's too bad cause Tho's homescreens look great...

Well I just did a hard reset and my phone is working fine again. I really hate myself since I didnt care to do a backup until it was to late.
Oh well at least the phone is working again

Reboot issues...
I love the new homescreen, but I seem to be having issues when rebooting the system (power cycling) . I go into a continuous boot loop that alternates between the HTC screen and the Windows Mobile screen. I can break the loop by removing the 1GB SD card during the boot cycle. Everything seems to work fine after that...strange.
I'm running the orginal ROM
CE OS 5.2.1235
Radio 4.1.13.37
RIL 2.002

Are you both using a fresly flashed ROM? Like, no facade, or other plug-ins that might interfere with the boot cyclus? All I can say is that I'm using 0.2 (no 0.2a or 0.2b) with the following plug-ins/progs.:
- Gregory HTCHome
- Smartmonitor
- Scandinavian_XT9.cab (Adds danish language to my xT9)
- S710_BT_Hotfix.cab (Official HTC Vox bluetooth fix)
- MoDaCo_RemoveSecurity.cab (Removed phone security)
- MoDaCo_Google_Search.cab (Changes default IE search page to google)
- MoDaCo_DoNew.cab (Adds the ability to create new Word/Excel docs)
- InboxExtender.cab (Extends your inbox)
- TeliaDK_VOX_070419.cab (MMS/GPRS settings)
- VitoCopyPaste (Adds the ability to copy/paste text anywhere on the phone)
- HushSMS-0.1.cab (Enables you to send "ghost" msgs, that pops up on the recievers phone, with no option to reply)
But I have tried other programs aswell, with no issues (I think it's a plug-in issue!) I assume you're using my HTCHome-cab and not the older one?

Smartmonitor causing favorite people issues???
I too still have the inability to use the "favorite people" application from the new HTC Home screens. Tried all versions (dark, light, guava, blue). However, if I use the HTC version (without the embedded smartmonitor components) both weather and favorite people work without issue.
It seems to be an issue between smartmonitor and favorite people...any thoughts?
Edit - As a verification, I have reloaded one of the HTC Home screens (by tho) and then switched back to the basic HTC...it seems that the act of loading smartmonitor then causes issues in the basic HTC screen. My test seems to confirm a conflict between favorite people and smartmonitor.

Exactly what happened to mine but unfortunately removing the SD didn't help for me so I ended up doing a hard reset
I hope this problem can be solved so I dare to install this again... It looks wonderful after all...

Did you all remember to install Smartmonitor on the device and not the SD card?

Installed correctly

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 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?

o2 diamond pro and the tf3d theme :(

hey guys,
i know there are a bunch of threads out there already which deal with themes and tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and everything. but it seems like there's been quite a few issues with the original o2 ROM TF3D and the attempt to install the black htc theme.
I tried to use tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and use the diamond htc black theme here from the forum. The installation works quite alright, everything seems nice but the music player doesn't show the artist/genre/track/album horizontal menu and also is the list of applications black on black.
Maybe there are a few manila files missing or something?
I don't really want to flash my rom since there's only a beta out of the german romeos and i need a stable working phone - but the blue o2 theme is really ugly.
Are there any ideas out there what's going wrong and how to fix that problem? Or could you tell me which manila files have to be edited in order to see the custom menu bar in the music player and the black font color in the list of all applications?
I think this is also happening with the Vodafone Version of TF3D
Regards
Oli

Yes, I have the exact same problem as well with my Vodaphone Touch Pro, I've scouted through the forums for hours while at college and have not seen a solution for this, I'm guessing the only work around would be to flash the phone?

Same problem here. Have a MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile Version) and I have the same issue as you when installing the original theme.
I am searching for a solution for two days now and I haven't find anything yet.
I don't need the original HTC theme, I would be lucky with any "magentaless theme" that works.

I have found a working black theme, but it is on german.
for tf3d:

and for wm6.1:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131850418/Htc_black.zip.html
Now the colors are right, but I think tf3d is much slower now. I have already done all tweaks for optimizing the performance.
Is there any solution?

hey very cool!
but i think that version is older than my current one.
where'd you find that one?

I found it in this forum
http://www.ppc-phones.de/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=56565
I installed the theme. It's not that slow that I can't use it but with the original T-Mobile theme TF3D was much faster.

well i installed it just now and it isn't slower than the o2 tf3d version really.
but if you go to settings -> connections this page appears still in blue in tf3d but i don't really mind that (i don't open that page too often since i have secondtoday)
do you know how i can change the dropdown background when i click on start in the upper left corner? cause that's still blue too
thanks

go to start - settings - today and there are the themes for wm6.1.
there you choose this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/13185041...black.zip.html
(I copied it to the windowsfolder before selecting it in the settings)
with the t-mobile theme the first screen (the one with the clock) was there immediately when I switched to it on tf3d. now it needs half a second, but it is ok for me.

hi,
this rapidshare link doesn´t work.
any other link or solution? that blue o2 theme is soooo ugly

Top border in TF3D - removal?

Hi,
Sorry if this is a question that's been asked before but I can't seem to find it by searching.
I recently installed the mod that allows you to put your wallpaper on all the manila tabs (mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02.cab), but since doing it I've noticed that a border remains at the top of each tab and my wallpaper is cut-off by it.
On my home tab, it doesn't look too bad as the date is shown in this border. Similarly in the music tab it looks kind of intentional as the shuffle and repeat icons are in there. But it looks awful on most other tabs - screenshots below!
Is this to do with the wallpaper mod I installed, or is there something else I can do to extend my wallpaper into this border?
Thanks!!

There's a cab floating around called nocurtains.cab.
You might want to try that.
I haven't tried it but it seems to do what you are looking for.

thanks! "curtains" was the phrase i needed in order to search

Hi...
Just a quick question...
are u using a theme or do you have TouchPRO Vodafone TF3D...
and if so what version TF3D do you have? (Settings Tab->about.....)

Yes I'm using Vodafone TF3D - not sure where in the about list I can see the TF3D version, butmy ROM version is 1.90.161.5 if that helps.

ok... do you know where I can download that ROM?
(or the TF3D manila files)
It's not in the about list... it's on the button (that changes colour when u press it)

I think there is a download for the TF3D scheme halfway down this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2687462
I downloaded it today as a restorable backup in case I decide to change my theme - but I haven't tried it yet. Let me know what it's like if you decide to try it No idea if the Vodafone Rom is available yet though ...

I found a Vodafone Raphael 1.90.161.5 ROM here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/147978863/vodafone.rar.html
btw.. you don't have to have a backup manilas to go back to original...
just delete all manila files from windows... (if u have TF3D in the ROM!)
and the original will be there (can't delete ROM files...)

Ok cool thanks. I know next to nothing about themes and editing for TF3D but I'm going to be doing lots of reading up!
If I was a bit more savvy I'd be glad to help you getting the Vodafone TF3D for you but I have no idea where to even start! If I have any luck I'll certainly post here

wallpaper in tabs!

did anybody succeed to replace the standard tab background by a different picture? is there any solution for td2 yet? i read there are ways to do this on touch hd.
edit: THIS WORKS! =)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511

Great Thanks! Was searching for something like that
Will try it later.

Dude this find is Sweet!!! Think this should be Stickied because it's simple, easy, and it works.
I will be making several different wallpaper CABs with this for my device so I can switch BG whenever. It would be sweet if there were a moile version so I wouldn't have to use my PC to make the files and CAB's Either way this is a 10 out of 10.
Note: In the program you have to go to 'Config' and set 'Profile Name' to 'Manila v2/v3 Default (No Compression)' or else it will not work.
Edit: One problem. The home Wallpaper is not changed even if I select Default wallpaper. Intresting. I will look in the other thread for an answer when I get back from camping.

yes, you have to set the (home screen) wallpaper separately, and you actually dont even have to set it for the tabs after installation - it just works, different from the touch hd (as far as i read this, i dont have one)
but thats fine for me, i wont change regularly, i am just glad to avoid that boring black background

Havent tried this yet. But it sounds sweet...
Just a few noob questions.
Does it require a cooked ROM ?
And can you uninstall the changes if it goes wrong?

There are no cooked roms for TD2 yet as there is no HardSPL available until today. So it is assumed that this works with official roms.

my rom is original and branding-free (and it worked flawlessly). there seemingly were issues using orange branded roms with touch hd.
this cab just replaces a few picture files, there is obviously no risk in it but losing these files, so you may want to backup them.
