Hey everyone, so I don't yet have a tilt but am going to purchase one tomorrow.
I've been doing some research into ROMs and general customizing for the tilt and have been a bit overwhelmed with all the information so please bare with me.
Do I need to do ROM flashing if I just want to change the home screen? I have a seen some cool ones that resemble the iPhone and other sleek looking home screens that I would like to add. Also, if someone wouldn't mind explaining what a cab is and how it relates to the ROM exactly I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.
ROM = The OS (Operating System) i.e. Windows Mobile 6
Cab = Installation package for Software. Can also be used for registry tweaks.
You do not need to flash a Rom just to change your Today Screen (Home Screen is what they call it on Smartphones {lack touchscreen]).
Okay, very cool, thank you for the quick response.

Hi:
That is a great thread to start seeing some of the MANY options available for your Today screen. In that post people post their Today screen pics, and most people will say what programs etc. they use to create their screens. If you see one you like, and it doesn't say how they made it, you can always ask them, most people will be very helpful.
Here are some other good threads to look at for inspiration to design your own Today screen:

OOPS! I meant to post the first link you posted. What I mean, is that my link was supposed to be to the same thread you mentioned, but I messed it up, lol. I guess I should double check links before posting them, lol.
watched a friend "jailbreak" his iphone using blackra1n.com. it seemed pretty cool. i am not a tech guy by any stretch. is there a similar site for HTC Fuzes to do the "jailbreak" or whatever it is called? I would like to do this to my phone. please advise and thanks in advance.

It is a guide for noobs and real easy to follow once you read it and follow it step by step. Once you unlock your phone and start flashing custom roms, it totally will change the way you look at your phone
As far as Hardspl. look here

Is there any YouTube Tab out there? I have searched and cannot find one....any ideas?
thanks in advance...
I think this would be nice, however I have never seen anything about a stand alone YouTube Tab. I wonder if someone could write the program to add the tab like the guy did for the Facebook Tab.
I searched for some info on how to make a custom tab, but I cannot find anything related to developing a tab.... any ideas?

hey thanks, but that is not what I was talking about....I want to make/find a tab for youtube (like the tabs on the slider, you know-the home, message, mail, internet, weather, settings ...etc,etc.. tabs?)...I also have youtube 2.6 BTW...
so I hope someone can help me out here, I am willing to put in work -the only problem is I cannot find the resources ?.....
+1 great idea
I think the guy working on the facebook tab found that HTC had done alot of the development work themselves and had hidden it away. Atleast thats how it reads. So maybe this isnt such an easy thing to do

Same here buddy, would be nice but doubt we'll se it happen any time soon..
yeah, I agree that it does not seem easy...seems like too much b$ just for something so simple....i dont know, I am not a newbie to programming, but this is like a whole other world of programming (or w/e you will call it)...
in theory: I would need to put a place holder for a new tab OR take an existing one and change it... have that tab point to/open up the YouTube executable and thats it!...
in practice (it seems): I would have to recompile/decompile/edit multiple manila files...? which even that is sounding much more easier than actual 'practice' of this theory...
any ideas?
this is such a great idea it would be very nice if they could figure this one out
it'll be even better if the dev's could skin the YouTube app a little so that it really intergete in sense
i really hope somewone is workingon this
sorry for my english hope ya'll understand my idea
greetz
this is a very difficult project for a very small gain.... to be honest - it may not be done at all, I would very much like to do this, but I think I should put my time towards something more significant...

No one could send the wallpaper to you if it has never been distributed. What do you think about writing to the HTC support?
lol why just only that wall ? U will use it forever ? =]

Yes, after reading this thread I know that this wallpaper is really lifesaving. The thread should be a sticky one
why don't you try to find a similar one? there are a lot of wallpapers with roads and sky and stuff...why is so urgent? your phone will crash? your boss will fire you if he doesn't see the "sky" on your phone?
still, here are some similar ; and, you can find more here, or using search on google (of course, you have to want that, otherwise it won't come by itself ) ).

A few good ones but unfortunately not the requestd with ...
They will help me overtime without original one, but the original one ... is not replaceable
stil, my question is: if this wallpaper is so special, and it cannot be replaced by another one, why don't you try to search it on all wallpapers websites?
P.S. I'm sure that this wallpaper isn't the original one. Has been set only to divert a little bit the image.

Hey extrapurifier,
I´ve got an idea. I know an artist that is at least as good as Michelangelo was and I´m sure in 500 years he will be as famous as Michelangelo is today. Should I ask him to paint a picture that is exactly like that important one you are requesting?
Sure, I know it´s not that life saving one you have found. But maybe it will help you to stay alive until HTC will publish your favorite one?
