Loving my Fuze so far! Used the process to hard reset and remove the bloatware....not quite ready to take the plunge with a cooked ROM just yet...
On the home screen above the clock there is a bar that just lists the AT&T logo in the upper right. Nothing else. And because of it I have to scroll on my home screen to see everything.
How the heck do I get rid of this useless waste of real estate?
Interesting, I didn't even notice this but true, what a waste of space! I'm hoping for something like HCC, Home Screen Customizer coming back for Fuze, that was one great app!
You arent kidding! I'm a little bummed, my Tilt had more usable home screen space
hope some1 can find a way.
Two ways to do it:
1) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2796868&posted=1#post2796868 and aply the original TF3D theme. It will also change your orange to green in the theme though
2) use the diamond TF3D configuration tool and go you tabs and remove 'unknown'
choice 1 -Don't care for change of color
choice 2 - Diamond config tool did not remove the AT&T logo -
Any other suggestions or ideas?
sorry- i didn't read the top post well enough. What I did is get rid of the AT&T tab which I hate. If you look at the other screens of TF3D there is always something on top- the first one should probably list Home but I guess it's true- we could all live without them all entirely...
Unzip and copy this file into the windows directory. Let me know if this works.
Thanks

That file already exists in the windows directory. Thus, no change. Still looking at the "AT&T" gray bar across the top of the screen.
I certainly appreciate you trying to help -
I removed the bar using the customizer but I think that qt&t is reading it from the operator name which may never be able to get read of unless someone really customizer tf3d.
FYI - That's not AT&T's doing. Look at all the unlocked TF3D screenshots. It's the line that lists what screen you are looking at or the carrier if it's the home screen. It's in all the cooked ROMs as well since it's part of the basic functionality.

First close TF3D, then extract file into windows directory, over writing existing file. Start TF3D again. Logo should be gone. Worked for me.
I am losing my touch with this Touch (Fuze) -
Could not overwrite - got error message that basically said that file is write protected and I do not have permission.
Tried to delete the original and then replace - again receive denials.
I have tried to, using a registry editor, make changes to the file (make it able to be read; edit it; rename it;, etc) without any success. All attempts have been rejected.
Perhaps I could trouble you as to how to either overwrite or delete and replace.
Thanks

Copy the file to somewhere else on the phone, maybe like a temp directory.
Then use TotalCommander to copy the file into windows directory.
Thats it.

Thanks - finally successful in removing the AT&T logo - however, the gray bar remains -
I certainly appreciate the efforts that you folks have gone to.
If we could move the date up to the empty space, that would be good.
Am I the only one that has both the date and AT&T on that line?
I wouldn't want to get rid of it, because it would mean getting rid of the date.
I'm using a sprint flip-clock, but I don't recall how it looked in stock form.
Standard factory ROM.
I think what you are wanting to get rid of is what I've seen on here referred to as the top "curtain". Do a search on that. I've seen it mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it off the bat.

Haven't tried it so I don't know if it does the trick
i have a touch and have changed most of my fonts how do i change soft key fonts, title bar font, sms inbox font and outgoing sms font i have tried tips from all over the forums and nothing is working
Check Settings+ RC_Mod, Font Changer 1.2.. and conduct a search in the forum, you will find MANY MANY programs for this.
yea, ive checked all of those out, i have wm6 and those still dont help. i dont want to change color or nething, just font. there has to be something in the registry somewhere... adding values or something to change sms compose and incoming font and soft key font. ive already done system font, bar font, pop font, oom font. the system has to get instructions somewhere as to what font to use
sms font can be changed in Settings+ and it is included in another option.
settings+ can change everything... at least on my device.
it seems like settings+ is for wm6.1 . i have a regular sprint touch running wm6. thank you for any help
hrm.
ok.. try these.. i managed them a while ago and wrote a readme file..
hope it helps
ok im getting frustrated, i just cant seem to be able to change the sms compose or inbox font or soft key. none of these programs wrk or have what i need and all forums point to the reg keys ive already changed lol it still seems to me that the program gets its instructions from somewhere and that that can be changed. ive pretty much given up on an outside program to change them...please help, im about to give up
its cool, i downloaded a new font, went back through an re-did my key entries and it seems to be fine i know the sms problem was solved and pretty sure the soft key changed...but ive been looking at this thing for so long its all starting to look the same anyway, thanks for the help, i appreciate it
lol. i forgot to attach the registry files to the previous post.. i wanted to help.
now, you might have already changed these.. but since one of them changed the sms font on my phone, i see no reason why it shouldn't do the same on yours.
I know the background of the start menu can be changed by:
1) changing the phones wallpaper like normal
OR
2) replacing the startmenu_background_screen_"resolution".png from within the windows folder.
The second is only if you want a different wallpaper in your start menu to the rest of your phone. (the default file is just a transparent .png which shows your normal wallpaper underneath)
I know you can also change the folder icons, by changing around other png files in the window folder.
My question is how can you change the font style or more importantly the colour?
Also, is it possible to change it so it resembles the wm6.1 start menu instead of the honeycomb?
(please dont say "just use a 6.1 ROM" because i dont want to. lol. I like wm6.5 as its quicker and more finger friendly, i just want the old start menu back)
no one know how to do these things?
anyone?
PLEASE?
im desperate here
lolz
As much or as little as you wish.
Have a look at some of the stuff I posted in here :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504320
Should answer a few of the basics.
Thanks for your reply, but those replies are about the today screen. I dont even use titanium any more. I find M2D more useful.
What i want to know is how to edit the Start menu.
the list of programs shown as hexagon icons
I want to change it to like how it was on wm6.1.
Just a grid of icons with words on a white background
OK, I have got what you are after... sounds like a registry hack somewhere....
Unfortunately the holiday(UK)/vacation(US), season is upon us, and I may not have found the solution for a week or two. If and when I do, I'll post it here and send you a PM.
Thank you.
Its appreciated

I second this question. And what I want is better not the 'grid view'.
Better we have a registry tweak way, so that we can make a HoneyComb Toggle.
In some cases when I want more RAM, it's better to shutdown the honeycomb and the titanium today plugin.
So another question is do we have a tool to toggle the titanium? Like we can do to M2D? I know we can do it through today settings, but I'm looking for a way like regitweak or mortscript, so that I can use a shortcut to map it to a hardware button, do it within one touch.
[Edit: Got some sence for the half of first question from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509160&highlight=start+menu
Seems the WM6.5 honeycomb start menu is an executable called shell32.exe. If so we can shut it down with a powerful task manager like DotFred's TaskMgr.exe or let it show up in the htc task manager by registry tweak and kill it. Will report it back after I test it next week. Or anybody can test it right now?
But the first question still need an answer.
Edit3: So what is the process or service of the WM6.1 start menu ? (for that I think it's not an exe) This may help to answer the question of how to resemble old start menu back.
And then what is titanium? An exe, a process or a service? Got a name?]
Thanks for any help.
there isnt!
there isnt a way to back to 6.1 start menu...
but you can use the Qucik menu that is a lil same... but you need to leave blank the cpr file for grid scene on your windows folder... then use the Quick menu that Utaker post on devs and hack forum just search with this exact words " Quickmenu instead honeycomb" you may get all the answer you need there... Oh and the honey comb can be modded in maaaany ways just search all over the devs a nd hack sections
thanks bye.
Hey guys.
I am running a pre-release official VZW 6.5 ROM on my Ozone.
I have tried the SMSNoSentMsg reg hack to kill the "Message Sent" notification, but it isn't working.
Am I missing something in 6.5?
Thanks !!!
The Ozone has a package called SMS Retry which messes up all the SMS popups, etc. Also, HTCMessage does the same. Why they added that?? There is a way to disable it, I just have to remember where it is. The 6.5 TEST ROM is very similar to 6.1. Not sure why Verizon didn't at least add Titanium... Oh well.
EDIT: You can try to create a dummy HTCMessage.exe file and overwrite the one in \Windows with it. That may work.
What does HTCMessage.exe do and how could I create a "dummy" replacement?

Well, you can try to create a txt file called HTCMessage.txt, then rename it to HTCMessage.exe. It will basically be blank. Then copy it to \Windows. When the OS tries to execute it, it won't be able to. The package you want to omit when cooking is PACKAGE_Chief_W_WM65_HTCMessage and 0409 and 0C0A.
This ROM I have is very buggy.
Registry changes don't stick.
What would cause that?
I edit the registry.
Reboot, and the changes are gone

Did you App unlock the phone? Go to my WM6.5 Ozone ROM post and download the SDA Application Unlock ZIP file. Unzip and run SDA Application Unlock from your PC, hit ok.
That should app unlock and reg unlock the phone. Unless Verizon did something else to lock it, like FOTA or something. That would suck.
No dice.
Just tried it and still changes don't stick.
EDIT:
Some changes stick and work; some stick, but don't work; some don't stick.
Changes and works:
Start Menu Order
Changes and doesn't work:
SMSNoSentMsg
Change Reverts:
Icons in HTCVOICEMAIL panel
.... this is very strange....
i have a question for the o.p.
where'd u get the "pre-release" version of 6.5 and can u share the link or download for it??
I work for VZW. I am not willing to post or share it as doing so might jeapordize the forementioned employment.
Well for those interested.. I figured some things out.
SMS Sent Notifiation:
I had done the reg hack manually and also set it in SmartTweaker.
They were conflicting with each other. Removed option in SmartTweaker and the notification is gone.
Icons in HTCVoiceMail sliding panel:
In this ROM version the icons in the panel are the greyscale ones. I wanted the color ones. I tried changing the icon paths in the registry, but after a reboot they wold revert to greyscale.
I went into the registry at \HKLM\Software\HTC\Home\SlidingPanels\ and made a new key called HTCVMAIL and copied every entry from HTCVOICEMAIL only chnanging the icon paths.
I also had to change the datasource key in \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\HTCVOICEMAIL to point to the new key I created.
The icons are staying the colored ones now, but the Missed Call / VoiceMail / SMS / Email indicators do not populate. They are static at ZERO.
I guess I have some more digging to do.

Its not really that much of an upgrade. Have a Panel config app and a few new apps. Basically a new WM6.1 No Titanium.
I am seeing some strage stuff.
If I have more than 3 panels, only the last 2 will show in a "collapsed" view.
so i am assuming that titanium wont be in the final release?
if thats the case, is it possible to add the titanium seperate from a different rom?
Hi, I know there are ways to change the word start on 6.1, but I've tried and didn't get any results....is anyone aware of a cab, maybe, to make that disapear ?
Thanks
there are replacment task bars that also do this, changing your icons for something more eye candy which also can replace the start.
You didnt say what device you were using, but a search found this :

Also search ur device forum.
Thank you !
