Please Help Htc sense wont load after deleting cookies Home tab - General Questions and Answers

First Off im not a newb....i used the search function but we all know how ****ty that is....i found some answers but none of them relate to my issue...so please spare me the same "use the search" or "maybe you shouldnt of messed with your phone"
I downloaded the newest Cookies home tab and decided to delete it...now my sense wont load....everything else does though...I can hit the start button and it will bring up my start menu and ect.
I downloaded CHT to my storage card from the get go, does this make a difference?
If you could can you please give me the solution or provide me with the link if there already is a thread on this...
thank you.

Eeks, installing CHT to a Storage Card is 10,000% not recommended {as the main HTC Sense files it 'coincides' with are in your devices \Windows\ directory.}
There may be a fix, but don't take my word for it.
First, try installing CHT to your DEVICE this time, reset, then uninstall it.
If that doesn't work, download and install THIS to your device.
Once installed, tap the icon in your start menu once.
You'll see a 2 second Windows Wait Cursor.
Tap it again, this time it should spin a bit longer. Soft reset your device.
If Sense still won't load, I hate to say, but a Hard Reset may be in your best interest.
Just for the record, unless it's an Application or a Game, I wouldn't recommend installing anything else to your Storage Card.
Examples of things that should ALWAYS be installed to your device:
1.) WinMo Themes {taskbars, softkey bars, taskbar icons, etc..}
2.) Sense/Manila modifications, themes, etc..
3.) System Tweakers {cleaners, registry editors, ram optimizers, etc..}

Thank you! ill give this a shot when my phone is charged up

Sounds good. Hope you get the problem settled without the need of a Hard Reset.
Keep me updated.

Ok the first two didnt work.....if i do a hard reset im afraid that it isnt going to work and then im screwed because CHT is the only thing that is making my phone work

May I ask why you are trying to rid of CHT?
You can keep it installed and keep the basic look of the default Sense {with the help of the CHTE of course}.
Just style it up, and pretend it's not even there. <---being a smartass, sorry.
Also, if you do a hard-reset, it will just set your device back to day one {or to your ROMs default state}, so all changes you have made will be undone... think of it as a 'Fresh-Install' of Windows on a PC, because relatively, Hard Resetting is exactly that, except on a Mobile.

I did the hard reset and it worked. I also downloaded CHT again (to my device)
I wanted to delete it to see if everything would go back to the original, i dont know why i just like making sure every thing can go back to normal.
After I downloaded CHT again I also deleted it to see what would happen and the Sense will load now...... so now I have CHT and loving it. Thank you for you help

Well, sorry to hear that you had to Hard Reset, but I'm happy that you got everything running smooth.
Enjoy CHT. The possiblities are almost endless with it.

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.

Change registry setting below:

Set DWORD to 1 (use TF3D)
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu
Set DWORD to 0 (Use WM Menu)

I'll Give It a Shot Doing a Hard Reset, Thanks for The Help Though

Solved - Delete Post

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.

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.

[Q] Help

I installed new task bar (dinik anastasia) and followed the instructions. It changed my icon at the top showing I had a VM but nothing else is showing. Now I can't get to my start screen. I understand I can unistall this problem is nothing happens when I touch start at the top and when I press the windows button at the bottom again nothing happens.

Did you install sdkcerts before installing the taskbar? Something in shellres.192.dll is causing the problem. Can you slide over to your setting tab? if so hit menu, all settings, system, then remove programs to uninstall. Or set up one of your quicklinks to access file explorer, navigate to the cab, click on it as if your were going to reinstall and let it uninstall previous version then softreset and see if it fixes everything..
Yes I installed that first as it instructed. I was finally able to get into my applications and removed it and everything seems to be back to normal. I would really like to install new themes, etc. any idea of a good place to get the downloads from (seeing how my first try didnt work)? Thanks!
^^^ You´re at the best possible place.
But, you need to know a little bit what you´re doing.
A taskbar must fit your WinMo version, plus, as the previous tip said, the certification must be there.
Most tweaks and mods are made for specific versions, like any other software for any other operating system.
Once you´re familiar with those things, you can pimp as much as you want.

Thanks and sorry for all the questions but you guys are the expert. I would like to change my theme, icons, layout, etc. as I am quite bored with mine. Can you point me in right direction? I've downloaded a few different ones but none seem to work.

I´m not really an expert, either... just a user like you. All I made is some graphics for clocks because I like them in real life, too...
As a beginner, I would start to look a little to what others do. This thread here is great to start: Klick! Maybe just start with the last pages, where you´ll see the latest tweaks and mods. Sometimes people write where they got what they use, sometimes you can ask.
One of the greatest tools to change the layout and the functionality of Sense (that´s the basic user interface of an HD2 using Windows Mobile 6.5) is CHT (short for coOkiemonster´s Home Tab): Klick!
Add some graphic mods and tweaks, and there you go. Some examples:
[6THEMES]Nordpolcampers Tranquility Theme Cabs up! + many more Themes
[THEME] WP7 UI and WM SKINS [UPDATED 26/5/11]
[ Theme.Windroid - The Final ]******** HTC SENSE 3.0*******
Please carefully read in each thread what the author says about instructions.
Last, but not least, there is much more to discover (as in if you like clocks, too, follow the link in my signature for some examples, those clocks are made to be used with CHT).
Enjoy your great device, have fun with personalizing!

[Q] Help needed with HTC Sensation

Hi guys
I was wondering if any one could enlighten me with a problem im having with my HTC sensation Z710e, android v4.0.3, HTC sence v3.6.
I'm new to android so have no idea whats, what.
Theres no wigets or apps shortcuts in the personalize section.
when i hold my finger on the home screen, i go to Personalize screen, then i tap Widget and the next windows blank same goes for the Add App Shortcut screen theres nothing there except the title and most buttons have no function except the home button.
Am i missing something here, why is there no icons in these screens.
i have tried installing nice widget packs ect but still no widgets show up.
can any one tell me what im doing wrong here!!!.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give here.
Sorry if this is not right place for question.
regards
Daz
Your're in the right section.
I'm not using Sense 3.6 so it's a bit hard for me to visualise the steps you've done.
You seem to be doing the right steps. Have you tried rebooting the phone?
hi my friend,
seems that you're expieriencing some troubles, welle i never had such issue but there are thing you have to do before flashing new roms.
when you flash a new rom, perform a superwipe before.then flash rom.
some mods can brake things in your rom so be carefull of what you flash.
and when you flash a mod or kernel ,i advice you to perform a wipe cache and dalvick before.
i run Elegancia rom sense 3.6, delicious rom, no issues, fast smooth and stable. and i always use eleganca themes mods and skins, this way i never had issue ,no broken things.

looks like some data got screwed up...
one thing you can try is ...go to settings->apps->all apps->ht sense->clear data
this might restore your widgets and all (but UI goes default)
or if this option is not at all available..then flash the same rom again..with just wiping cache + dalvik (this way you'll lose the mods..but rest of data stays intact)
Hi guys first off, thanks so much guys for replying and sorry took me a while to check in.
Hi k0zmic
I have shut down phone and restarted phone, unfortunately didn't help. Thanks anyway.
Hi Catpoule
I bought this phone as a manufactuers tested unit and it was upgraded by them to icecream as far as i know!
Not really happy about flashing the rom as I bricked my spv m5000 when i chose wrong rom version that i had previously download but didnt check. dum a** or what
i think its still under warranty so ill refrain from that at the moment, but thanks.
Hi ganeshp
I might give your idea of (clear data) a try, but when UI goes default what does that change exactly, does that just change whats on the Home screen and will it delete shortcuts created as well and what eles!.
Thanks for the advice guys really appreciated, many thanks.
Regards
Daz
