I cant figure this out no where.... Why cant i have my photo 100% color without the white over it? It works fine with the default wallpaper but when i change it, it has the white over it
open the picture using file explorer and open it... then go to menu and select "add as today background" or w/e it says... then it will allow you to choose your opacity/transparency. =P
It doesnt give me that option? I have Touchflo turned off if that does anything?
Also is there away to get rid of the picture when i hit Start?
When ever i hit start the picture is behind the list...
Anyone? this is really annoying and i cant figure out whats going wrong

ROMeOS uses File Explorer extended, which I noticed doesn't give that option of opacity when you choose to use an image as wallpaper.
So is there away around this? Regedit possibly?
Anyone?
.
I'd also like an answer to this, I'm using the latest RomeOS.
There may be other solutions too but here is one of them:
Open your picture from "Programs>Pictures & Videos" - while the picture is opened at "Programs>Pictures & Videos" click "Menu" and select "Set as Today Background". Here you have the option to set Transparency Level (Set it to 0 if to see it clear) and click "Ok". You should get unshaded clear picture.
Surprisingly, I could not get the "Transparency Level" setting when I try to set background while browsing the picture from file explorer.
Hope this helps....
Thanks pksher, confirmed working with latest build of RomeOS. (Start > Programs > Multimedia > Pictures & Videos is the path, at least for RomeOS, though)
The OP had forgotten the face of his father. ;-)
Anyway - the useful thing I'll add is that this method works even without using TouchFlo3D. I gave up on it a while ago - and am using my own background image. I also found out that if you use an image 1024x768 or larger - the image will fit nicely in landscape as well. If you use a 640x480 image, when you go to landscape mode - the left part of the image will be added to the right to make up the difference.

if you want to get rid of that error message that appears when you try to access tab "Photos & Videos", just unzip the attachment "Album Searcher Signed.zip" and copy the .exe file to windows directory intro TG01.
How did you get that take your position??
When I try it´s impossible and if I go to settings and try to "click" in position it give me an error message that says: "Can´t open AGPSettings"
you don't have to use My Location. Just enter another city for updating the weather.
I enter another city, but in the clock screen apears under the clock "my ubication" and not the city that I selected in the wether screen
So I can´t look the weather in the main screen with the clock and the cool animation I have to go to the right untirl the weather screen and then select my city
for that, use this cab from attachment.

i have the same problem ... there is no chance to place programs ...
I solved with hard reset of the device. I had installed the previous version of manila (1.3 ...) that created problems with the wifi (which was tourned-on).
some feedback.
I've installed it correctly, but have few remarks...
- Battery disappears from the title bar. (is there a solution or a widget to show teh battery?)
- Sometimes crashes with calls log.
- in the pictures tab (after fixing the error bug) i can't click/chose any of the photos, even can't activate the Camera from this screen.
- Also Albums are not working.
- in the settings tab, commManger and email setup are not working.
- Youtube link in the browser's tab is not working
this is all what i noticed so far...
I've switched to 2.5 because this one is allways shutting down after 4/5 seconds without doing nothing
I've managed to deactivate all of the tabs and played with the configs within that time... but it was a no go...
Can someone help me out getting the source of the problem
I'm running on a B7610 with stock 6.1
After an hard reset
i've installed sdkcerts, net 3.5, netcfg (to make device use 3.5 instead of 2.5), audio fixes, album searcher...
is there something that i have missed or i have to do in particular
And now, due to the versions that are out
between this one and 2.5 wich one is the most stable and bug less
i'm on the 2.5 very fast and smooth... But it only works more as info and eye candy (contacts and answering messages and calls doesn't work)
i've put my testing here

Hey, someone has put this link in the wrong post. I don't know really how does it work but I'm sure you guys can deal with it:
Is like an ftp site with several files to install Sense 2.1 in our TG01. Take a look and maybe you can use them to solve some bugs.
Edit: Because of I'm a new user, I can't post the link. However I can tell you where you can find it. In the "TG01 ROM Development" forum, the post named "Need any Toshiba TG01 rom", look at the entry #262 in the 27th page.
Hope it works for you!

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Windows Mobile OS and had a few questions on it. I just picked up an HTC HD2 and I am LOVING this guy more and more since I found this site. I had a lot of fun customizing my iPhone, but I've been having a little trouble with my HD2. Here is what I was looking for:
1. Whenever I look into the Photos & Videos every photo and video on the device is show in the album. Is there a way to hide certain photos or folders so they don't show?
2. I have a set of videos I placed into one folder. Whenever I look into the folder, the videos all show as thumbnails. Is there a way to set it so I see the names of the videos and not the thumbs?
3. The T-MoUS version, has Transformers pre-installed. When I click Start, it has a Transformers icon that when selected, it opens a window with both movies lined up in a list type format. I found the Transformers.exe in the windows folder. Is there a way to create your own? (Kinda the same as question 2)
4. Can the "honeycomb" menu that shows when you click start, have the icons moved around freely? The only thing I've found is you hold an icon and you get the option to "Move to Top". I want to move them anywhere and not have to keep moving everything to top if I want something on the third row from the bottom.
Sorry for the long winded questions... any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

PS-I tried using Search for these answers, but could not get anything.
I have a Sprint TP2 with the SPrint WM6.5 ROM.
I am using the "Windows Default" Today Screen Items because HTC Sense is so slow and makes my phone screw up all the time now.
I like it, but I would like to modify which items are on the list. How can I do that?
I can change the items on the list, but once u select the Windows Default, you cannot select anything else. I like the default, but just want to add/remove some stuff.
Thanks in Advance!
Any ideas?
there should be a setting for start menu that allows you to change which programs appear in the pull down menu. i've been using the sense menus lately so i forget how to go back to tell you exactly where to find it but i know its somewhere. if i stumble upon it i'll let you know.

In stock rom there isnt that many options to check/choose from cuz its WM 6.5
To check what is available go to Settings -> Today -> items (tab)
(could be different in Sprint version)
Hope this helps
EDIT:
I hope we were on same page.. or not.. if you want to edit quick links then all you have to do is access pull down menu and on bottom right corner select delete then select all apps to remove them.. after you hit done then plus + sign should show up.. click on it and select app that you want in that place
If I go to the settings for Today, I can choose multiple items, but it looks bad. If I choose Windows Default on the menu, I cannot choose any other items. So I am looking for a way to customize whats in that Windows Default setting. I thought it would be a registry entry or something, but cannot find it.

as far as i know you wont be able to add any stuff same way as you were able to do it in WM 6.0.. Do some research on Spb shell. you may like that or check out Iphone Today Theme on xda-devs.
I have been looking but haven't found anything yet.
I just want to add some items that fit into the Windows Default Today screen item. They already have those slider buttons and I would like to add some new ones.
Try "Home Screen Customizer". I use it to add a contacts panel and a weather panel, but it can do more. You can install it through Windows Marketplace too. Oh, did I mention it's free ? Here's a direct link to the application site: http://homescreencustomizer.spaces.live.com or the link from Marketplace. Hope this is what you're looking for. Thanks.
Doesn't Show Missing Calls?
Hello,
I JUST upgraded to MR2 from verizon on my touch pro 2. My main concern is that it does not show the missed calls on the home screen anymore. I have to go to notifications to click on missed calls to see them.
When i was looking around i saw this thread:
ww.wmexperts.com/tags/touch-pro-2
(sorry i had to take the w out of www to be able to get the link above to post)
and it shows a picture of my phone, with the MR2 upgrade WITH the missed calls showing!
What am i doing wrong? How do i get my missed calls to show back up on the screen.
as a side note, it also shows calendar items, my phone also does not show calendar items. It seems to me that my first row of quick links is up too high (that is where the missing calls and calendar show up on the picture for MR2)
Hi, I just bought a stock Sprint Touch Pro 2 and I really want to find the option that I can disable the HTC sense.
I have tried to find the settings tab but actually my 'settings' is not the one I want. Following is the list of all options in this settings:
Personalize (wallpaper, etc)
Wireless Controls (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile networks, push mail)
Sound & Display
Data Services (options for ActiveSync, social networks, e-mail, etc)
Location (set location service options)
Security (encryption, phone lock and reset)
Application (remove programs, etc)
SD card & phone storage (view available storage)
Date & Time
Locale & text
Updates & feedback
Other (miscellaneous settings - none appear to be relevant)
About phone (battery status, device info)
So by which I can disable the HTC sense?
Thanks first.

Since you are using Win 6.5 and HTC sense is still on you will have to go by this path -
Go to setting > bottom right there is "Menu" written click that > will give you an option of " All Settings " select that > then find the icon name " Today " select that > it will take you to a screen where u will have two tabs on the bottom left - " Appearance" & "Items" here select " Items " > You will have a list of itmes the third one will be will be checked -"HTC Sense" - uncheck it > then click OK on the top right.
You will now have HTC sense disabled. If you want to re-enable just check it again and click OK !
Hope this helps!
Thank you very much for your reply, abhisahara
I have got it
Thanks again!

First post on this site, so bear with how horribly round-about this actually is.
Examples are attached, as I can't post outside links, even to images.
Introduction:
Instead of flashing the honeycomb lockscreen to my phone, I decided to set out and create a suitable alternative. I didn't want to dig too deep into my Evo, but I still wanted something that looks good and works. Thankfully, I found a fantastic app that pretty much allows me to do just that already: LockBot.
Many of you may know of LockBot already, but some don't, so here's the basics: it's a free replacement for your lockscreen that allows you to customize it beyond compare. As well, it allows you to use the lockscreens of many other ROMs (Eclair, Hero, Galaxy, among the names) as a basis. With this in mind, it allows you to modify almost everything, all while being free. Did I mention it's completely free? So let's dig in.
Instructions:
First step, download the zip file attached to this post that contains the images you'll need to use in this project. Upload these images onto your phone's SD card in a new directory. You obviously only need to upload the background you wish to use, the lock icon, and the "blank.png" file. Do not upload the .psd file or the "demo" files, as they won't do you any good there.
Then, install LockBot on your phone (I would link to it, but as I'm a new user, I can't post outside links).
With LockBot open, click "New Theme". Select "Eclair" from the menu (if you bought the paid application you can select Galaxy for a more realistic experience).
Hit "Menu" up in the top right corner of the screen. Change your background to be that of your selected style (if you chose to use the Eclair lockscreen, select "eclair-bg.png").
Select "Menu" again to edit the clock. Select digital, and then tap on the clock itself to edit it. Select "Hide Clock Background" to remove that ugly grey line.
Tap the clock again and this time choose "edit clock". On the first dropdown under "Date Font" select the option you want. I chose "Sunday, February 20", for example. After you have selected the correct date format, hit your phone's back button to get out of the menu.
Tap "Menu" again and select "Style". Click your style once again to confirm what you want to go with, and then tap on the slide bar. Click "Change Unlock ICON" and change it to the lock.png file included in the zip folder.
Before you change the Slider Background, make sure you click "Move Slider" and align the lock icon with the circle on the background. Be sure to keep it a little below the correct placement. For some reason, LockBot isn't great on exact placement for this one feature. You can adjust for it, however.
After you have moved the unlock icon, change every other icon to the "blank.png" file, including the slider background itself.
When you are done, hit menu and then save. Your new theme will be in the "My Themes" section of the app. This is where you have to select which lockscreen you want to see...
Hit your phone's menu button to bring up the "Playlist" option. Select it. From here, uncheck every theme except for your new theme. If you don't do this step, it will randomly select between all of the other themes to display when you turn your phone on.
Hit the back button to get out of the menu.
You are almost done! Right now, when you unlock your phone, you get a vibration. If you wish to edit that or remove it completely, hit your phone's back button until you get to the app's main menu. Hit your phone's menu button and select "Config". Select "Vibrate" and select your preference.
Now you are done.
To revert these changes, simply uninstall the app and delete the folder of images from your SD card. Unistalling the app will give you your stock lockscreen back.
Known Issues:
- The clock doesn't have the correct font. This can be fixed by using a live wallpaper for your background. I don't have one, but it can be quickly and simply created.
- Once in a rare while the lockscreen will skip right to the home screen. This all depends on how much RAM your phone has free at that moment, but this application doesn't use much at all. As well, it may take a couple seconds after your phone has been put to sleep before the lockscreen will come back. Quickly hitting the sleep button twice might just skip the lockscreen all together. Give it a couple seconds of sleep to realize it needs to launch the lockscreen.
- Using the Eclair lockscreen, the lock icon can only go in one direction or the other, not in a free motion like the real Honeycomb lockscreen. This is kind of solved by using the Galaxy version of the lockscreen Even then, however, if you use the standard clock (instead of using a live wallpaper), it drags the clock along with the lock icon. Other than that, the Galaxy option works flawlessly, as if it really were Honeycomb. Please note: the Galaxy option works perfectly if you use a live wallpaper for the clock! This is the closest we can get to the Honeycomb lock screen with this method. It does cost money for the paid app to use this option, however.
If anybody can create a live wallpaper, much in the same nature as the "wp_clock_light" from the Market, please contact me or leave a post here. Creating a live wallpaper with the correct font would mean that this project can be completely authentic.
Also, one last note: in the zip file, I have included the .psd of the images. The original size for the background image is 513x855 simply to get around some random (and odd) limits that the developer of the app put in. You can use the "city_wallpaper.jpg" file to create a background image of any size. This will allow you to use this method on any phone you want. Obviously, this is intended for the Evo primarily because that's the phone I own, and it's the only phone I have access to. This works on any 2.2+, as far as I know. If the app works with your phone, then this method works, too. I'm pretty sure this doesn't require a root, but I'm not the author of the app, I simply used this as the quickest, easiest method of getting what I wanted: the Honeycomb lockscreen. If you have any ports you'd like to include, please post here with the background image files attached. Thanks!
sweet thread im loving the sweet honeycomb lol
here is a link to that app
lockbot
i would provide a pro apk but i don't wanna support piracy
This is fantastic! Great work! I wanted this lock screen the moment I saw it and this is a great alternative! Thank you.
how would you make the wallpaper a live wallpaper?
Download of attachment stops at like 60kb
Doesn*t work for GalaxyTAB and doesn't support Landscape Mode for me..
Doesn't give the feeling of Honeycomb to me :/
Ok, I'm at a loss. I downloaded Pro so I could utilize the Galaxy option, and for the life of me, I can't get my lockscreen to look like the screenshots... How did you manage to get the lock icon and the so?derived background to line up????
My clock moves also...
Wow, didn't realize I was getting hits on this thread. Like I said in the OP, you can select the "style" from the top right, hit the type of style you want, and select to move the slide around from the menu (select "move slider"). You must use the appropriate background, however.
Honda, you are correct that there is no landscape mode. That is a limitation if the app, unfortunately. As well, you will gave to use the OSD file I provided to create a larger background for the tab. This was designed for phones, not tablets. You are more than welcome to use it on the tab, but you will have to do some extra work for it.
One last note: when I first created this thread, I submitted my work to the developer to be added to the gallery. Now, you can simply launch the app, go to the gallery, hit the "Eclair" tab, scroll to February 20th, and select the one entitled "Honeycomb by Mark". I see someone already took my background and work and tried submitting a Galaxy version, but it is horribly buggy, and the developer hasn't added my Galaxy version to the gallery. The Eclair version I submits works fine, however. You can download that I'd you have the Pro version of the app (the free version is unable to download themes).
Let me know it anyone is having any other problems, I would be more than happy to try and help you.

i made something like this today on iphone theme.
EvoShift
Works on the EvoShift from Sprint.
Only issue being the stock HTC Lock Screen still appears once in a while and couple of clicks for the sleep button will take it out but it will show up once again later....there is no way to disable it.
Mine's a non-rooted evoshift.
going to try this out now, just going to install lockbot pro the legal way and then put this honeycomb lockscreen on my desire z
when he says you would need a live wallpaper i think he means a live wallpaper that has a a live clock and the wallpaper...well thats what i think.
Just a slight update... my walkthrough has been spotted and picked up on AndroidNG, and that article is the #1 Google search result when you search for "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen"!!!! This is huge for me, and I'm excited. Squeeeee!
Sorry. That is all.
Note: Again, can't post links because of my low post count, even though my guide has helped a lot of people, and has been proven to be useful for those that want the Honeycomb Lockscreen without rooting their phones... strange world we live in. Just Google "Android Honeycomb Lockscreen" and click the first link. I am "Method I".
Edit: Yes, the live wallpaper of the clock is only necessary if you want the Honeycomb font for the clock itself. If you don't care about the font, you don't need it. As of right now, I don't think there's a Honeycomb clock live wallpaper, but I don't know enough to make one. Wish I did. As for the issues with the app itself: yes, there are some bugs, and it occasionally hiccups and shows you the stock lockscreen. This is just the nature of the beast when it comes to this app. Bugs happen, but this is the closest we can get to perfect for now.
Thanks again for reading and trying this method out, I appreciate all the great responses!
would love to try.. but it seems a little daunting.. scared me off for now
It really isn't. Basically: download the zip, put the images you want on your phone, download LockBot and place the images and parts as you want. Easy enough.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Just so I'm sure I've done everything correctly: when the phone first boots, I see the default (system) lock screen, not the LockBot version. Is there any way around that?
Other than this one (relatively minor) issue, it's fantastic - thank you very much!
Unfortunately, Google has set a five second lock out for apps once a button is hit and the device being turned on. In those five seconds, nothing can be run. Some security measure our something, I don't pretend to know what it means, but it is supposedly there. That is, scouring to the developer, the reason for it. The solution: give your phone five seconds after hitting a button and turning the phone on again. Good luck!

Hey guys, I just wanted to do a quick update.
First off, thank you all for the major success of this guide! It has been so much fun watching youtube videos featuring my work. I'm just happy that I could make a difference to some of you. Now for the great news...
If you have and old, pirated version of Lockbot Pro or free, get the latest version (1.17.1)!!! This new version comes with a legit honeycomb lockscreen. It looks beautiful! Even if you don't have the app legally, you need to. Donating money to the creater of this app is worth it. I'm trying to get in contact with him, but so far no luck in getting even more features. Maybe he is just working on it. I giggly recommend getting lockbot pro now, as it is so worth it. Just trust me.
I also once again want to make clear: I only created the images in the zip file (except the background, but the circle is me ); I did not create the app. I cannot say enough about how good the developer is, though. Buy the pro version! I will post screens later.
