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.
okee cookie home tab v1.8 is realy nice, everything I want
The possibilities for personalization are endless!
If I can give you a good tip, look around everywhere here!

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.

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.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3616825&postcount=1
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 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 anyone be kind enough to tell me how i change the background when you click on the tabs (eg the background of the text message/calendar etc screens)
i want this sort of image (although in an ideal world would look less paint edited)

cheers...have searched but to no avail.
edit:i tried making a theme off of the winmo website but it didnt load up when i installed the cab
There currently isn't a solution for different backgrounds on different tabs. You can either have one for the home tab, or one for all of them.
Since touchflo has been around for quite some time and no-one's ever had different backgrounds on each tab, I don't expect to see it any time soon.
If you'd be interested at a background on all tabs, have a look at HDWall. Just be aware that you'll need to install the high quality cab (in the first post) in order to use cabs created with HDWall correctly.

you could do this using the background for all tabs cab. use the wallpaper as your homescreen and you`ll see it on the other tabs too. if your wanting a homescreen wallpaper and this seperate for the other tabs i dont know how you would do that, someone on here will know. the background for all tabs is in the mods sticky top of this forum

i want the cannon for all the tabs and a different pic for my home screen, will take a look at the links and update if i need more help, cheers.
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 .
i've been using Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.6.1 cause i love the multiple quicklink pages!
the CHT161 fN Clock Array MOD v0.1, allows to change between 3 clocks. but i dont like any of the clocks.
Touch X remove clock background
Touch X Transparent Calendar but leave text
I have a HTC HD2
manilla version 2.5.20121412.1
os version 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)
rom version 2.10.531.1 (82076)WWE
rom date 2/22/10
my goal is to be able to have the auto changing wallpapers people talk about in this ofrum, and also the ability to change my clocks thats it!
and i cant seem to do it and then i have to reset phone, and redo all my settings ringtones etc.. which takes me hours. could anyone please guide me in the right direction on what is needed for me to have cookies abundent amount of quicklinks, the ability for me to change clocks, get rid of the ugly HUGE clock, get rid of the flipping, and the ability to change wallpapers?
ive tried downloading and using...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011 but it cant get ti to show clocks or do anything? do i need rom updates? or a diffrent manilla?
any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'm sitting here now with a freshly reset hd2 out of the box and i will not install a single app until i can figure out how to tweak this. for i'm doen having to redo all my ringtones settings mail accounts start menu's etc...
Thanks for any help.
Have you tried MaxManila Ultimate? Version 3 will suit your version of manila.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
Note that you can NOT run MaxManila AND Cookies together. You will need to choose one over the other.
The reason I think MaxManila might suit you is the 8 varied options for the clock layout (plus various options for the interface itself). MaxManila will not give you as many quicklink pages as Cookies; however it will give you the option to increase the default 9 to 15 - 20.
I am unsure why you continue to apply a hard reset and wipe your data. Are you aware that if you do not like a feature that you have installed, under most circumstances you can simply uninstall it?
To do this go to: Settings - Application - Remove program
thanks yes ive tried max manilla, and didnt lie it
the reason i keep doing hard resets is many of these manilla\themes ive tried it says it wasnt completelly removed when i uninstall them do you want to remove this from your programs? i choose yes and it still stays there. so my goal is to have a clean phone. is there a program like acronis,or norton ghost for cell phones? THAT WOULD SAVE ME A LOAD OF TIME!
not sure why i'm having such difficult with this. ive been reading about tweaking the appearnace of this phone for almost 2 weeks now installed, uninstalled, reset, wrong version, use this manilla if ya have this version but dont use it if you have this, but use it if you use that, but most definatelly don't use it with this model number, if your model is this and you have this rom then update this maniila to this, but only use this cab along with this cab which is located over, once over here don't install this if your using this.
so from your reply... Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1 will not work with my model phone? is that correct?
thanks for taking the time to help me.
