HTC Home VGA!!!!!!!!!!! Finally

Ever wanted the HTC home app but hate how it looks in VGA. I found this file claiming to support vga screens and I just tested it out. It looks great on my universal. By the way I am not using "True VGA" on my uni. This is the only file I have been able to find that works without "True VGA."

Great Dear,
It sounds great and works fine
thanx

After uninstalling this, I noted that my date and time icons on the today taskbar has changed into the battery/power icon. This happens only on the today screen. All other screens are correctly showing the date/time info.
Any idea how I can get rid of the useless battery/power icon and bring back the date/time info on my today screen?

Screenshots:
Up to now works fine on my 9000, boot up takes a bit longer, and memory footprint is around 1mb judging from the amount of free memory I had previously on startup.

Hi tech_e,
Can you please explain what's the difference of this version with the one's with mamaich's HTCHOME.DLL patch posted last December 5 on the HTC Home plugin thread?
The HTCHOME.DLL in your posted cab file is exactly the SAME as mamaich's patched DLL above. Am I missing something? Please enlighten me. Thanks.
edit:
Checked the posted HTC Home cab file & found out that it's exactly the same version I installed which if I'm not mistaken is from Colonel of PPCG..'s + mamaich's htchome.dll patch. If that is the case, then the posted cab file is not the only one that supports Uni's default VGA mode. Any HTC Home version with mamaich's patch which had been tried since 8 days ago has been proven to work fine. Please refer to the HTC Home plugin thread above!

I said that I found this cab not I made it. I don’t care who made it, I only care that it works. As for the other file that you linked I had tried it and many others on my universal and they all looked awful due to I am not running "true vga" patch. I just thought that if there were others that wanted htc home on the vga screen and have been waiting for something that just works I would share my findings. But thanks for the encouragement.

registry is a valid via to update settings.
i have tested A htchome customizer but the result was the same: all 6 tabs are showed all time.
please, test you and sendme the results
thx

Cool down Bro, no intention whatsoever but to find out what was new in it!?
Several things though:
1. It would be a sin for me to keep quiet knowing that the HTC Home plugin appearance problem had been solved since a week ago
2. It's just fair to point you and the others to the ORIGINAL thread source where the HTC HOME problem in Uni was solved, "to give credit where it's due" - wout
3. Finally, I'm thankful for you for creating this thread since it seems that most didn't know of the solution
My work is done. HTC HOME VGA!!!!!!!! Finally - HERE
Regards.

hello my friend!thanks a lot for this program.

HTC Home VGA Slight Problem
I installed this on my device and have tried numerous ways of changing the tab order but have failed. I have noticed that unistalling the application and reverting back to the one installed before installing the cab and was able to change the tab order.
Any help? please please!

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

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.

Another repost...

@rogeriopcf: the title of the other thread is "Full resolutions Background?" - would you have expected the possibilty to change wallpapers in tabs there?

[question] fullscreen wallpaper wm6.5.x

as the title says, are there any solutions to this? Have tried searching here and also via google, but got very little relevant hits....... hope some of you can help....

What do you mean? Can you explain please, because wallpaper IS fullscreen.

attached you see a screenshot. The taskbar and bottombar are not part of the wallpaper. And the way i see it, by default 6.5.x doesn't provide any solutions...

Right - I see what you're asking now.
The wallpaper is actually "overlayed" with the taskbar and menu, so it is fullscreen, but behind those objects.
Search for HDWall (it's not in the Leo section - I believe it's in the Blackstone section, but could be wrong, so do a search of all forums).
That makes hi-quality wallpapers (better than the resized-by-htc wallpapers that you normally get) and it does it for all tabs. You also have the option to skin the taskbar and menu, and even change the slider if you want.
That will do what you ask anyway. Hope it helps

i'm using miri 1.4 rom right now, that one is provided with manila 1922. Hdwall still doesn't support that version. The wallpaper will come out mangled and all weird....
edit: also i don't see the option in hdwall to choose wm6.5.x only wm6.5, does that have any impact?

Try the HQWallpaper cab from the 1st post - that may help, but I'm not promising anything.

That shouldn't make any difference. It's not making any changes to the OS, just the GUI.

Well it used to, but lately it doesnt seem to be working,
However Ive just flashed a new rom (topix) which IS running 1921 and have just installed.... waiting for the result.....
....waiting....

as i told before i'm on miri 1.4, that one comes with manila 1922.....
and the hq wallpaper cab together with hdwall does NOT work....
i already know manila 1920 and 1921 works with the cab and hdwall, i used that before also, but with the newest manila it simply does not work

i noticed that when i select titanium as homescreen, the bottom bar is semi transparent, how can i also get that when using sense??? That would fix half of the problems i'm facing...
edit, not only bottom bar, but also top taskbar is semi transparent then...... why does this only work with titanium and not htc sense?

no clever ideas/solutions for me?

I told you already, MaxTTM

Try this Transparent softkey .tsk file, along with MaxTTM.
Then you can have clear bars and no softkey bubble buttons.
Although it does not line up perfectly. It looks best with textured or patterned wallpapers. In my opinion. It really depends on what B4all you are using as well.

Minute Flip off CAB... where???

Hi guys, I just had to to a hard reset of my HD2 as the new cookie 1.8 killed sense for some strange reason, anyway, I have the Touch_X_Homescreen_Flip_clock_OFF cab, but I cant find the cab I used to turn the minute flip off all together, after searching for an hour through various threads I have given up, and hope one of you guys knows where it is, many thanks!!!

it is actually part of CHT 1.8.
under miscellaneous settings.
hope that helps.
