Hi everybody,
I can see with differents roms with touchflo 1.2 (even with the 2 i think) , two differents wallpaper, one for home screen and other for home/Today screen.
When i change wallpaper in today configuration, i have the same wallpaper for home and lock screen.
How can i configure two differents wallpapers? (specially, i would like to keep my original home wallpaper and have just a new one for 'full page qvga' lock screen)
Because informations are unreadbale on home screen with lots of nice wallpaper.
Merci
Ok, i did it manually.
Changing the file in the /windows/ rep, (with my rom it is stwater_240_320.jpg file, but maybe it depends of the rom) it's not very handy but it works.
If we can do this with HTC configuration option.

I have been searching for a few days now how to change my touchflo 3D Home Screen and have come up w/zilch!!! I have an HTC Touch Pro and I like the Touchflo interface so I just want to be able to customize my home screen. I have already been able to change the order of my icons and my clock. I would like to be able to see more calendar events. I'm coming to the conclusion that this can't be done. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you in advance...
TouchFlow 3d interface
You can chage it this way... from the home screen scroll over to the settings, you will see Wallpaper, if you select this, you can personalize the wallpaper to be shown on the homescreen to a photo and keep your touchflow format.
you can change the theme, there is heaps of themes on this forum, i changed mine successfully and love the new home screen.
you can also customize the cube too, there is some thmes around here 2.
he's not inquiring about themes, from what i gather anyways. it seems asthough he wants to customize the items on his home screen of tf3d. i am wondering the same thing.
Hello,
I wonder if anyone knows a program that can change "Lock-Screen"/Start wallpaper ? It should be able to open folder of wallpapers and that user could set time - "how often to change wallpaper".
Most of Wallpaper Changers / Switchers can change only Today's Screen wallpaper.
I need to to change wallpaper of Locked screen, for example once in a hour.

As long as it's changing the standard WinMo background then it will work just fine, the lock screen just uses the standard WinMo background for it's own. That's why it's the same as the screen that's behind the start menu.

I mentioned that most of software change only Today Wallpapers, but not "Lock-Screen" / Start wallpapers. Yes, Lock-screen and Start Menu wallpapers are the same, but is there software which can change it periodically ?
Anyone? I want to know too!
there is:
"BG4allTAB" or "background for all tabs" which makes the home tab background picture background for all other tabs (at least in manila 2.1)-not lockscreen.
there`s also "Jmz Lockscreen Changer v2.0" which is background picture changer for wm6.5 lock-screen.
hope this helps...
Im using this software on my touch HD (wm6.5) but it should work on HD2 also
this is for manual changing of walls, not automatic (periodically).
sorry guys!!!
is it possibile to have a full screen wallpaper (using HQ wallpaper patch) only in the home!!!
i have installed this cab and my home is very beautiful but now i don't read a sms and menus on colored background.
thanks guys
wich rom are you using, and what is your hometab?
Maxmanila, co0kie's hometab, another?
my rom is 1.66.408.1
my manila is 2.5.1921...
i use only hq wallpaper patch on my device and i edit my wallpaper in my computer with hdwall 0.28..
thank you for your help!!!
For only the stock rom with HD patch I'm not sure. At the moment I'm using Maxmanila hometab and then you can select to use a different homescreen background then rest of the menu. I'll try to look it up for you, but you may consider using the Maxmanila mod. Because I know for sure you can use it then.
HDWall has an option called "HTC Sense v2.5 - Home Tab - No Compression".

If you are talking about the patch that makes the upper taskbar and the lower soft button bar part of the wallpaper so it is kind of full screen on Sense and Lock/Start menu, it is a system wide patch so it means it will appear on every screen.
Uninstall the patch and select the wallpaper in Manila settings. Then it will be displayed only on the hometab.... unfortunately you won't have the wallpaper in the taksbar and bottombar. You could recreate those two (top and bottom) images and set them in registry, but then they appear everywhere again.
For so far as I know these are the only options.
I am decorating my HD2 with gothic style wallpaper. I applied the same wallpaper onto the lock screen and home screen, the one on lock screen display perfectly with high resolution and detail, very sharp and bright. However the same wallpaper displayed on home screen is very poor in quality, blur, flat and not in the correct scale.
Is there any specific size i need to crop the wallpaper to inorder to have it display correctly on the home screen? Thanks

480 x 800
Search for HDWall, also apply HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila version.

Sorry, i am not sure about what jive means but when you create a wallpaper with HDWall (it is a cab) is for all backgrounds / tabs of Sense.

Jive = work.
is that means simply cropping or creating a 800 x 480 px picture on photoshop will not display correctly when I set it as Home screen wallpaper on HD2? I change the wallpaper by going:
Menu > Home Wallpaper > Weather Wallpaper > (my wallpaper file)
Does it make a different if I had Cookies Home tab and editor installed? I am running a stock rom. Or it is a must to create the wallpaper with the HDWallS and install the HQ Wallpaper Patch for your Manila inorder to have it display correctly?
Thanks~
It doesn't matter the software you use to create a wallpaper, it just has to be 400x800 to fit the whole screen. After that you create a cab by using HDWall and it will make every tab with the same background, HDWall also makes the wallpaper from the top to the bottom (no curtains), remember, install HQWallpaperPatch (the right one for your manila version) to get high quality background in you screen.
Of course, when you have a .jpg or .png file you just copy it to My Documents/My Wallpapers (i don't know if that is the right name in English) and then from your Today screen you can go to Configuration -> Personalize -> LockScreen background and change to whatever you want.

Doesn't matter, when creating a cab with HDWall you don't need BG4All anymore, no need to uninstall.
Rgds,
thanks! I now have installed the patch and created the cab with HDWall. Home screen displayed the wallpaper perfectly now, though seems to be a bit complicate method to have it displayed correctly. Think I need to spend some time getting know HDWall to use it properly.
Is that means I will have to create the cab on a computer each time when I want to change the wallpaper and no alternative method to change it directly like other phones ususally do? Do I have to unstall the current cab before installing the new one?
thanks for your clear explaination. cheers!

No, you do not have to uninstall first, when installing another one your device will uninstall the previous one at first so no worries.
You can also try Bwizard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681341
Another possibilty is changing background wallpaper directly by going to Configuration -> Personalize -> Today Home Screen Background but this way it will only change your Today screen, when you want the same wallpaper in every tab you will have to install BG4All (search for it) and probably a couple of small applications to remove top and bottom curtains.
It's up to you, hope it all will help you.
Rgds,
I just installed cookie 1.8.5 on my hd2, i also had hdwall on it as well so that I could make the background tranparent. The weird problem I have is that when my phone goes to lock screen and I unlock it, the top and bottom parts of my screen are skinned but the actual wallpaper is one of the default wallpapers on my phone. when i scroll to another tab and come back the wallpaper changes to what I initially wanted. Anyone know what's going on here?
I have manilla version 2.5.20124112.2
avoid using HD walls. select HQ Wallpaper option in editor!! find the picture you want, select skin bars. it will restart your device. then for home screen select the same picture so it completes the whole image over your home screen. i have used this without any issues. use sk tools to clean up your phone, it have have junk slowing it down. also beware their alot of bugs still in cht 185, overall it runs pretty stable.
i uninstalled hdwall, but i still have the same problem. it's just weird that after coming out of the lock screen it shows a different wallpaper than what i selected. and it only changes back after i move to another screen and back
A good idea would be to post over in the CHT thread....youll get lots of support there
