Hey all. I am having issues with my today screen on my HTC Touch Pro with Windows Mobile 6.1. I am uanble to change the Wallpaper at all. It is stuck on a Blue wallpaper. I have tried setting it from The today screen theme changer and from My Pictures but selecting the "Set as Today Screen Wallpaper" Option. The Wallpaper will not change. I am extremely frustrated with this. I have only had this phone for 5 days. Please help.
NOTE: I am Using SPB Mobile Shell V 2.1.1 Build 3507 for all my shortcuts. But my issue is with the Actual windows Mobile 6 Today Screen.
Change Wallpaper on Touch Pro
You need to go to the touch 3D settings.. its on the scroll touch bar after weather and internet etc. Thats where you change the wallpaper. I did a hard reset before figuring it out. Good luck!!
you can't change wallpapers while it's controlled by your theme file. in TF3D you can change the format of the plugin itself by inside configuration, as ninfem posted.. but if you want to change the today screen background you will have to find a tsk that doesn't contain a wallpaper
RE:Change Wallpaper on Touch Pro
This has nothing to do with TF3D I am not even using TouchFlo. See notes under original Post. I am using SPB Mobile Shell 2.4 . And I did fix it. I had to download the Registry editing tool and deleting the Fixed wallpaper Registry key. Do not remember the exact string but all is well now. Thanks for trying.

Hi can you please tell me how you fixed it. i am having the same problem

HTC Touch Pro Today Screen Issue: Fixed
I had to download the Windows Mobile Registry Editor. Found here http://freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml and I searched for Wallpaper. It had an Embedded Wallpaper. I deleted the Registry key for the Embedded wallpaper and have not had a problem with it since. It has been months ago Since I did it so I can't tell you anymore than that but all you need is PHM Registry Editor. GOOD LUCK!
having the same issue. Deleting the registry key, turning off touch flo, and soft resetting at least 3 times now. Won't go away. Stuck on some stupid blue background I can't get it to go away.
solution for touch flo users
I know the original poster is not using touch flo (see regisry hack). For those of you using touch flo I did the following which worked for all of the themes. I unchecked use this picture as the background, under start settings today. Closed that window and from the main touch flo screen (home) I scrolled to the right and selected settings (looks like a gear) and then wallpaper. Select the wallpaper of your choice and it shows up. No soft reset or registry hacks necessary. Not very intuitive but it worked.
I'm having the same problem. Can't get rid of the background image in the Today screen (when mobile is in locked mode) and the background image in Settings > All settings.
I've installed PHM Registry Editor, but I don't really have the skills to fix it. Please let us know in this thread if anyone figure it out.
Can't really understand why this problem happens.
Weird! Now the normal Today background image is back. Can't understand why. This smart phone is smarter than me...
Still, the settings background is not the right image.
i have one of my photos saved as my backround wallpaper, i have deleted this picture, but it is still my backround and i cant change it. the only thing i have loaded is an analog fire clock (had to do a soft reset) what do i do, please help.
Resolution.
Peace of cake
HTC Touch Pro 2,
Settings, All settings - Press "Today"
Use any theme and any picture you want HOWEVER,
Under Items tab, YOU MUST CHECK "HTC SENSE" Press ok, you are set.
If you don't check this you get a blank wall paper or the other things you may have checked only. Really simple! :-D But yes I had to figure it out

Hi all,
I own a Vodafone VDA V (=HTC Vox). I have chosen the Windows standard start page with standard color scheme and standard background.
Everything appears fine, but only the backgound picture of the startmenue (where all the programs and preferences are) is still the "striped" greyish vodafone background.
Any ideas how to change this in the registry and what the name of the standard background picture is to which I then would referr to in the registry?!
TIA
All the standard icons are on the vodafone rom to get them there are 2 ways easy or registry changing
Now if you are really lazy and want to clear all your vodafone icons and change the start menu order then try the following app IBE tweaks ,
choose the image options in the menu
Now change the following for the icons
input phone number up .... windows\ms_mobile.gif , that gets rid of the grey vodafone icon and gives you the smartphone strip
for warnings ect ...
error promt ...windows\yell.gif
warning promt'...windows\yell.gif
information promt ... windows\info.gif
question promt ...windows\ques.gif
earphone volume ...windows\volume.gif
To get rid of the grey smartphone start menu background change start menu option to a photo you own , then choose save , after that go back and delete the startmenu option you just did and it will make the start menu go back to the original windows mobile colours
choose other options/menu startmenu sequence to change the start menu to what you want
The call screen has to be edited with a good reg editor go to ...
HKLM\security\phone\skin\PROGRESS\portrait\other and change the bmpnormal to cprogback.png
then go back and do the same in landscape and you will have the nice jet black calling backround
the application IBE tweaks comes with a 3 day trial so enough time to change your vodafone icons and start up screens if you want that changed as well just the reg needed for the calling screen

You can also do the above through resco registry ( as i did ) or simular but it takes longer
dont forget when you have finished back up your phone with sprite so if you hard reset it then its quick to get it back to vodafone free mode
problem solved
@wabbit
Can you please give a pointer to the registry keys to edit instead of using the tweak tool? Many thanks!

Yes please, describe how to change above mentioned with registry editor instead of ibe!
TIA
you can simply use the Modaco de-brand tool for free
i used it on my voda french and everything is ok, just bootscreen
HTML:
http://www.modaco.com/SPV-E650-de-Brand-Fix-P-t255845.html
the e650 de brand tool does not work as it adds folders that are not on the vodafone version which has alot of programmes in media which is not on the rom , you can use it but then you need to use a good explorer exe to delete the incorrect icons and folders , using the app i stated which has a 3 day trial ( enough time to change the icons and then delete it as the app is not required anymore )
well, it worked fine for me, it just added a java shortcut that doesn't work...
i'm still searching for a tool to remove ugly 'welcome' and 'good-bye' screens
Getting rid of the Vodafone welcome and good-bye screens would indeed be very nice
Thanks to wabbit - awesome!!
I got an "Access Denied" when I tried to alter my call screen through the registry (using MobileRegistryEditor.exe) but I guess my phone's locked? I need to research that more. Might explain why some other stuff that I've tried doing had little effect
Quick search of the forum later and phone app unlocked and the final bit done. Nice one!!
Sadly my vodafone s710 is being repaired as the joypad fell off as soon as i get it back i will post all the reg keys needed so you can tweak it yourselfs including removing the vodafone startup and shutdown screens
Vodafone screens
Any news for the voda on and off screens ??
Can anyone please help -?
I want to move the SPB today menu below the HTC today screen?
I’ve tried moving it in the today settings menu but the option to move down is not available- nor am I able to move the HTC screen up?
am I just missing something simple? Any advise please……
Another tweak if you don't want to use HTC Home customizer just to move the HTC Home up or down in your today items. A simple regedit will do the trick and it will be unpinned. You can then make it appear inside any SpB programs.
Before changing the reg value you should unselect Home plugin as a Today item, and then select it again after editing registry.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
and change the value of "Type" from 5 to 4. And that's it.
The plugin can be moved to any place in Today.
I found this after a search in about 60 seconds
hey, thanks for your help! managed to sort it by editing registry
Hi,
I have just the otherday managed to upgrade my HTC Touch to an actual official WM6.1 OS supplied by HTC (belive it or not!). Since I bought the phone in Bangkok I have had to wait for the relese of the HTC Thailand upgrade.
It included the ThouchFLO 2d (which I recon sux....can't change a thing about it), but I really liked the big clock in wm6.0. Is there a way to download a file somewhere to get the clock (a clock) to show up at the "settings/today/items"?
I have had a look at the Throttle launcher, M2D but can't really get any of them to work properly....anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
/F
my device:
HTC Touch P3452 ELF0100, WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19972 (build 19972.1.2.7)
ROM 3.07.707.02 WWE, 10/25/08
Radio 03.34.90
Not sure what you mean about big clock but do a search for HTC Home plug-in (I think the latest cab is version 2.1) and see if that is what you are after. Otherwise, have you tried the Manila 2D customizer tool (M2DC)? I don't know if it works on shipped roms TF2D but it might let you change certain aspects of TF2D.
Good luck
Hi,
Yes sorry for being a bit unclear....what I ment was ofcourse the digital clock display at the HTC Default Home screen. I have tried the HTC Home plug-in but it, as for so many others (feedback) freezes and forces me to hard reset.
The problem occurs when I turn off the Touchflo 2D in favour of other themes, I get no option to display a clock on the today screen (under items to display). Hence downloaded themes comes out as plain as can be without anything but a background, start and bottom bar.
I would like to have a digital clock display as for the previous HTC Default Home screen....or similar clock at least.
I read somewhere that you could display/hide the clock by changing registry values under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock, Disabled to 0, as per this website. I have chacked in that location but found no such registry value named cclock.
Staring to think I might be actually a bit stupid for missing something very simple.....you never know until someone tells you!
I hope I made myself a bit more clear...
/F
Well it sounds like you know what you are doing so I don't want to sound too "teachy". But what you are doing in the Item screen is turning off a Today plug-in (TF2D). AFAIK, everything that would appear on the Today screen is displayed as a plug-in. Your rom opted to show the TF2D plug-in. This plug-in overrides all others in the item screen so in order to use another plug-in, you must uncheck the TF2D plug-in. So with no plug-ins selected, you will have a blank Today screen.
There are several plug-ins you can install as alternatives to TF2D such as HTC Home, RLToday, etc. Just query Today plug-ins. Once installed you can initialise them from the Items screen. It is a little worrying that HTC Home crashes on your device. You might try a soft reset (small hole, poke with stylus) or uninstall it and reinstall it. It might be that you've run out of Program memory (Settings-->System--Memory). A soft reset will free it up again. I hope some of this is helpful.
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

Solved! See wallpaper thread.
Hi,
I've been using my HTC Touch2 for a while now.
I decided to turn of the TouchFLO homescreen as it seems to use a lot of my free memory. I use a customized (used Home Screen Customizer - free from the marketplace) , default WM6.5 home screen now. It makes it faster ^^
The indicator raised from 45% to 70% in a day with all apps closed...
But TouchFLO also had a nice additional feature - all 'dropdown menu's ' or whatever you'd call it on a phone became way more touch friendly. (Those that open when holding your finger in file explorer for example, or when you click file in pocket word)
Is there a way to enable these menu's without enabling touchFLO?
I also prefer the HTC settings panels, that were only accessible from the TouchFLO home screen. I already found the sound settings (htcsoundsettings.exe) but I wonder if anyone knows more .exe files - for selecting backgrounds etc. Or a list of all files in the windows folder by default - it takes ages to load, when sorting is accidently set to 'File type' it takes like 15 minutes sometimes...
Also I'd like to add links to the settings menu of the start menu but so far I've only been able to add icons to the start menu or other subfolders and not the settings one
Thanks in advance,
JSO
Have you tried M2DCustomizer? If you mean saving up battery u might wana try custom roms
No, thank you for the link I'm sure it will help me.
But it didn't really help me out with my question - can I keep just the dropdown menu's without anabling TouchFLO/Manila2D from the Home Screen settings...

Hello, having read your message hope I understand well. You want a combination of features but foremost a lot of free Ram. Touch flow takes if I am correct 8-12Mb which your device should be able to handle.
This tweak will help you with Ram consumption aswell as regular soft reset or Ram cleaner.....several available on XDA.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemS ize=0 (Increase free memory)
I agree with member Deepak that choosing a custom Rom offers best of both worlds. But also here you have to make the choice Touch flow or not.....having only parts is not possible (unless built in Rom).
Thanks all for your effort, but I think I finally found something:
/showthread.php?t=540922 (can't post link because my account is not approved )
This allows me to disable touchFLO while still using the nice menu's; downloading right now
Yeah, used this on my previous Rom (WM 6.1) aswell. Was not happy with the result since it did not work flawless.....dissappear after soft reset, not working with some programs etc.
But see if it works for you. Success.
