I want more quicklinks, same wallpaper at all tabs, without HDWall!

I've tried "Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut". It not only generated duplicated shortcut at start menu, but also disabled the wallpaper.
I've reviewed HDWall, but it is complicated for casual use.
Any other alternative?
I just want to:
1. add more quicklinks at home tab
2. display the same wallpaper at all tabs
btw, any way to make the task bar and bottom button bar transparent?
Thanks.

no one have idea?

My only suggestion would be to review your comment about HDWall, that "it is complicated for casual use." Just follow the steps on the thread on how to do it. It's eeeeeeasy! It makes a cab file that gives you exactly what you want - wallpaper on all tabs and the task bar and bottom bar transparent. (They're the default settings!!) Just make sure you get the latest version.

As for more quick links, the Vovichek_Jamrecords one works perfectly with HDWall.
Seriously - get over the fear of HDWall. It really is that simple!

Totally agree with the above. With Hdwall unless you're changing wallpaper every 5 minutes I don't see how it could be classed as complicated. I've made 5 new wallpapers today and now got them all on the phone ready to change as and when I'm bored of the current one. It's the time it takes for a cab install to change them. ie. a minute or so with a softreset.

im personally looking for something between hdwall and maxmanilla, any of that exists? i really like maxmanilla (maxtt?) but im really trown off by the fact that 'random' regions of the screen control the layout, id rather just have a menu somewhere (like maxmanilla 2.6 if not mistaken)
Any chance those two guys could work toghether to make a even better manilla replacement? just a thought

I guess you'd have to ask them

I would like to use HDwall but I don't know how to start the program. HDWall.exe doesn't work on my computer. I get an error report : the application failed to initialize properly ... It doesn't work on HD2 either. Please help...

grg....hasdone it'i put a link I'm first thread.

is there an automated wallpaper changer that works on HD2?
Tried AntWorks Auto Wallpaper Changer but it doesn't work on the Sense interface.

It messes my Sense UI on HD2, appears corrupted after a while. Is there a better program to change automatically Home wallpaper??

Can I get Rolex, Omega or Tag Heuer analog clocks on HD2 alone, without MaxManila?

Hi Guys,
As the title suggests, I'm looking to install Rolex,Omega or Tag clocks on my HD2. I would ideally like to install them independently so I can use Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab (which allows for 16 quicklinks) as well.
Before I get flamed, I've done a lot of searching and have found clocks that I can use here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=595745&page=5
and this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=604796
but when I install them, I can't use any quick link apps and I can only use the default 9 quicklinks on the homescreen. The only other solution I've found is installing MaxManila but I don't want to do that as I like to install all of my stuff 1 by 1 rather than having a number of tweaks all installed at once like it making the calendar transparent & stuff which I don't want and it doesn't seem to install correctly on my phone anyway, with the quicklink name halfway up the icon, as I beleive it's designed for the blackstone?
Is there a simple solution to this and/or have I missed something? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Bumpity bump-bump

EXACTLY what i want too!

Bumpingtons

And another interested guy^^ There are several cabs for the flipclock and all are working like a charm! But I just need one working analog clock cab only, thats all what I need No MaxManila, no B4all and so on...only clock please!!

Exactly - me too.

Yes,
That's what I'm looking for, the clocks alone. I contacted jaguaralani who seems to be the main guy who makes these clocks and he says that it's not as simple as just whacking a clock on the phone. There are a lot of associated files included with any clock modifications which is why you often see the clocks included with other modifications like sliders, 20 quicklinks etc... I have seen standalone clocks which you can add but they won't let you use Quicklink apps and seem to conflict with other bits and pieces (check my first post for the link).
Thanks

Why not use max manilla.
Its safe and if you like the stock screen on UI just dont change any thing.
Just install the clock as per your wish.
One more thing you can do is that you can actually have two analogue clocks displaying two different time zones.
And as you said, jaguarlani is the one who makes most of them, and i agree they are awesome.
I am using a taghuer clock face. (i have twenty different clocks prepared by jaguarlani).
Just a word of caution dont install any clock hands, otherwise you will end up loosing the original clock hands, and if you un install the hands, the hands wouldnt appear on the clock face (it wont revert the previous ones). Same goes with the clock too, you would need at least one clock installed otherwise the clock would dissapear.
I absolutely love max manilla, give it a shot, its absolutely worth his effort.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. Can you explain this a little more please? Can I install MaxManila and not use any functions of it at all like the 20 Quicklinks, Transsliders or anything else except the clocks? I though that if I installed it, it would automatically install those tweaks to the HD2. Am I wrong?
Thanks

That´s what I thought too...I don´t like the clocks periphery (frame) coming with maxmanila, I really want to keep the black background in all other tabs except the starttab (don´t like the B4all thing, to me it´s too confusing and wild in the emailtab for instance ) and there are one or too bugs I dislike with maxmanila (20 shortcuts not working well?).

I agree I just want analogue clock with 16/20 short cuts + call history not the whole MaxManila so I'd be willing to give it a shot put something together but would appreciate if some of the expert manila/sense 2.5 skinners can point me in the right direction as to what tool they use to edit the manila files? is it manila kitchen found here?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548

I don't know what version of Sense you have, but here is my simple analog clock array for 2.5.1922, with no B4all !
If this installs and works ok for you, then we can worry about skinning the clock with one of the other skins out there. Let me know!
If it doesn't work for you, sorry, just uninstall! If it does, I gladly accept beer!

hi mate
thanks for replying! ur clock array didnt work

No problem, sorry it didn't work for you. The clocks however are changable, once you have a configuration that works for your rom.
It would be easier to possibly help you, if you could tell me your version of sense. Again, sorry it didn't work on your rom.

hi santod
thanks for helping me mate
how do i find out my sense version??
cheers

I can also offer some beer. I have Manilla 2.5.19211619.0. I would like a replacement for the Sense clock which is similar to this:

lots of beer for santod if he gets us going
my sense version is: 1.0.19211622.1

Stock Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM Problem with Today Screen Animated Wallpaper

I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe
I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.
Thanks!

After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.

Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.

I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.

Interesting I never noticed this before.

Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.
Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.

Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.

I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".

Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.

Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.
That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.
Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.

How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?

You can do it one of two ways.
I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.
There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.

In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?

Hmmm, I Downloaded My ROM from PCD & I Don't Have Animated Weather for My Today Screen, Only In My Weather Tab. Where Did You Download Your ROM From?

Downloaded from the same place as you...PCD.

Hmmm, By Any Chance Do You Still Have The Original ROM You Updated Your TP2 With? Can You Send It My Way? I'd Really Appreciate It

Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.
Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?
Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

Removing items from home screen?

Ok so firstly i have spent 30minutes checking and im yet to find it, if its already been asked/answered then sorry .
Im basically looking to remove the useless items(for me) on the home screen :
The weather- I check this on the seperate tab so i dont need it
The massive clock- Blocking majority of the screen, has time on the top right so again no need.
Disable quicklinks unless i scroll down the home page(i think this is possible already)
Calendar- Tried removing and is still there.
Im trying to minimise the stuff on the screen to admire the wallpapers , havent found a way through the options or via cab's to do any of this, if anyone has suggestions then id appreciate it .
Using duttys leo cooked rom, Manila 2.5.20113626

MaxManila (which you can find here at xda) is able to customize almost anything you might want to change - adding or hiding elements is easy.
There may be other options of course, but I think this is the most convenient.
Just make sure you install the correct version for your Manila.

thanks for the reply and links, however i did try those in that thread and i ended up with my HD2 failing to load htc sense . Id rather remove the features than make them transparent apart from the slider which i managed to make transparant .
What section is the download for MaxManila in?. Is it specific for hd2 or is it somewhere else, cant find it on its own in here so far .
edit: actually no i missed the no clock from your link! I tried the other parts originally , just tried it and it works perfectly now however i stillk need to somehow get rid of the calendar and weather along with quicklinks .

HD2 home screen personalisation

hye,
everywhere on xda I see nice homescreens, how can I get them myself?
I would like to change the background in every tap and maybe set anothe clock... etc.
thanx

Clocks are readily available all over this section of the forum, just search clock and you'll have 100's of options.
Install cookies home tab or max manilla to gve yourself more options...
Different bg's for each tab.............. I've seen a cab somewhere that will display your today screen bg behind all the other tabs but I cant remember where... its in here somewhere though......
Happy searching...............

You have a lot for work to do:
1. Install Co0kie's Home Tab + CHT Editor - MUST haves
2. Install clocks (there are tons, you MUST do a search)
3. If you like to have the same background in all tabs not just home screen, install HDWallS (wallpaper browser) and the correct HDWalls patch. There are a lot of pre-made cabs already but you can always make your own if you install the PC version of HDWalls on your comp. Just search for HDWalls and detailed instructions are there.
4. Check out the LEO TODAY thread so you can see what other people have done and a lot of cabs are there too.
5. With everything else that you feel like doing on and to your phone, I cannot stress enough the you MUST SEARCH first and post a new thread last.

Ps; welkom landgenoot!

First, I will give you the MOST important advice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a program like SPB Backup (it one is not free, but its restored my phone back to the latest settings i liked)... make a backup of your device and save it on your SD card. You don't want to make a mistake, delete a manila file while modding your phone, then try to remove the mod cuz you don't like it. not all the mods are perfect. Having to HARD RESET, will delete everything and restore you back to STOCK SETTINGS. I've personally done this countless times and spend 3 hours reinstalling apps and setting up my cookie HT icons and email, wifi. its a real pain in the butt. Even SK tools has a backup feature. it takes 4 minutes and it saves your tale! If you're forced to do a Hard reset, just restore your backup. also do another backup when you like the particular setup with mods on your device
You may want to do a little research on HDWalls with Cookies HT 1.8, this gives your device transparent bars top and bottom or simply places the wallpaper behind the whole screen removing the top and bottom black bars. its a very clean look. however you do lose the ability to give every screen its own wallpaper except the start menu.
DINIK's Slider, Keyboard, Phone Dialer, and CHT Clock are highly recommended!!! He also makes all black and white icons come to life with color!
look into transparent mods... there's a ton! i have at least 40 installed. Use BSB tweaks and Touch tweaks.
