i know that you can change the imagen from the lock screen, but i want to change the image inside the menu and home screen where the live tiles are, like in the images, is that possible? can anyone tell me how to do that?

There's no official support for this. I don't even know of any custom ROMs with this feature, though it would be cool to see one.

People have been trying to get this to work but no dice; I think it will be a lot easier with Windows Phone 8 comes out because it will (hopefully) support custom backgrounds. Keeping my fingers crossed. At the moment it doesn't work because there is now way to do this in the reg.

Neo homescreen from T-Mo Shadow?

Hi everyone, what do you say on the new T-mobile's homescreen for HTC Shadow device (http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/11/01/shadow-homescreen.aspx)?
It would definitely be worth having it on other phones, do you think it can be done?

As far as i know it is for Windows Mobile Standart (Smartphone) only, but can not be sure until i try it
Sure it can be done. The only thing you need is dumped T-Mobile shadow ROM. If you can get that, you can get the homescreen.
What i wanna know is if there is a reg edit to get the to take myfaves away from the first tab on the home screen so i can see the date and time there instead like in the first picture. That would great.

As written in linked article, myfaves are only enabled on T-Mo SIMcards, others see the clock instead, which is great. Now, where to get the ROM?
Let's just hope that someone will dump their phone's rom
To all shadow users: Who can dump their phones rom ?
I'm not sure how to dump my rom, but I hope someone figures it out because I hate this my fave on my homescreen. I would also like to keep the neo interface but be able to add my own apps to it...I wish I knew how to help..g
Clock instead of MyFav
Take a look here to get rid of MyFavs. I haven't tried it but the person who posted it did. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343000

Worked like a charm thanks for the link.....g
If you're not on a MyFavs plan, can you still use the MyFavs on the interface as a poor-man's photo dialer to five numbers of your choosing?
May be someone could help Gottifour to dump his rom? I don't know how to do this for sure..
Indeed... A dump would be really great!
What do you guys think about the ever growing eyecandy that is being used in all different mobile devices? Is it doing something good for the usability or just eyecandy that blinds the user?
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Peter Vrenken
How about some pointers to instructions on how to dump a rom for those who might be interested.
How about this...
Try using this tutorial on the xda xiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
as far as I know, you can use itsme's tools for all htc devices. Sorry that i can't try this myself on the shadow. I have the t-mo MDA and an ancient mpx200
If anyone gets this to work, please post the dump online
I think it helps to create Neo to ather devices =)

[TOOL] US Enabler 1.0

Now, I apologize in advance for this very...VERY ugly/horrific looking program, but I just whipped it together to save peoples time. I didn't really have too much time to make a typical 'qberty' styled GUI for this app, but it still does what it needs to do. Speaking of which.
The 'Unknown Sources' Enabler

}
(Don't ask about the background, i don't know why its purple )
This application runs on a windows pc. This application allows ANY user with ANY Android ROM with ANY Android phone to enable the 'Unknown Sources' option without physically going there to switch it on.
Why would you want to do that? Well, I first had the need to do this because of a certain ROM (Eagle Eye) that did not even have this option. So this application allows anyone without this option (or just wants to enable US a lot quicker) to do that nice and easy without having to sift through ADB's functions and SQLites confusion.
With an easy click this app will make the change on any android powered device.
Direct Download @ 0m3ga
If more people are actually interested in this a lot more, i will expand on it, depending on user feedback. Otherwise, there are no future release plans.
And also to the people wondering why I keep posting universal applications in this section of the forum. I have an HTC Magic 32A. So, I stick around here 98% of the time, so this is where i post 'em.
aaah, only windows version? hehe what about me and all linux users
Thanx for the tool man!
i'm uppping a patch for the rom today, which makes this tool not needed sorry

It wont be needed once you patch YOUR rom. But I have seen other people have this problem with some other roms.
Also, a linux version is possible, if more people want it.
sorry was not meant to be rude or anything, but yes it was meant that in eagle eye it's fixed in the rom now
Would this work on an official ROM? Say, to enable sideloading on a Samsung Captivate where this option isn't in the menus?

This will work on any ROM, any Device that supports ADB. As stated in the first post, all this does, is enable 'Unknown Sources' for people too lazy to go and enable it themselves or they don't even have that option.

Windows Theme

Hello All!
Before some of you start blasting me, I have searched and Googled everywhere for a 2.2 ROM with a theme that might be simliar to Windows Mobile 6.5. I like it because it has a clean look with the missed calls and appointments available for the home screen. I thought I saw one ROM theme once that had one very similar to the WM 6.5, but after searching everywhere, I couldn't find it. If it is out there, please point me in the correct direction? But if so, I am actually willing to pay for a theme similar to Windows Mobile. I am currently running VirusROM with SENSE. Thanks for your help!

thread title contains the word theme.... common sense would dictate that you would post this in the themes and apps section of this forum.

Sorry, I clicked on the wrong section. By the way, there is no need to be a prick. Like the first responder, all you had to do was leave it to what he said.
I made a Windows-ish theme but it was for 2.1, might work on 2.2, all you can do is try it.
It was my first attempt ever at a theme, so it wasn't anything spectacular. I'll find you the link.
Edit:
Here is the thread.

Ack: to each his own Android's homescreens can be set as simple or complex as you want.
BUT look for "Zune Home" in the market. That may be near what you want.
Honestly, I think what I am really looking for is a widget for the home screen so I can see the information similar to Windows Mobile 6.5 (Missed Calls and Mail/Messages). That is all I am looking for. I'd love to be able to use my SENSE ROM. I have even tried Executive Desktop (or whatever it is) and e-Today, but they didn't quite fit what I was looking for (although e-Today was close).
Thanks!

You're developing an Android app for Domino's? So you're doing this on a commercial level and being paid for it - but you don't even understand the basics on photo-editing, resizing etc?
I presume that you are going to share your fee with the good people on XDA if any of them help you?
The first one is good
U should edit it
Write in the pic the dominoz quote or something good

Its not on commercial level i want it for my collage final year project!
Can you tell us something more about your problem?
Are you trying to targeting your app for mobile and tablet devices and you have a problem with the UI?

You should really have made that clear at the start . Also, please don't email me directly asking for assistance - I don't respond to direct questions.
If the question you have here is simply about formatting a graphical image then there are probably much better places than XDA for it - specifically for whatever software package you are using to create/edit the images.

Then can you please sajust me any such site! And do you know android scripting? Then please help me!

Sorry for the direct reply!

I dont yet know what is that UI! But ya i am trying to do this app for mobiles and tabs! When we flip the device the view changes to Pic 2 i don't want that to happen! I cant it to kook like the Pic3 means the clock should move aside!
I'm not sure what, exactly, you're trying to achieve. Are you saying the background in 'portrait' mode should look like pic1, but when you rotate the phone it should look like pic3, not pic2?
Not sure how you would do it - I would try making pic1 wider (put 1/2 a screen-width of plain background each side) and see how it scales then.
Or else tell me how to resist the screen to flip in landscape mode, even if the device is turned! And i am using android SDK with eclipse!

Mediatek K107 MT8752 - Can I change the current ROM ?

Hello all!
First of all, I need to point out that I am a newbie when it comes to Android modifications, but I work in IT, so I have a good general knowledge on how these things work. I say "general", because obviously, working in IT does not make me a professional in this in any way...far from it. I'm just saying so in case you guys can explain to me, or point me a guide I can follow to achieve what I'd like to do Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize in advance if my text is hard to read..
I ordered a cheap chinese tablet from Aliexpress, but I can't post links...so I can't show you. But it's an Octa Core MT8752, 10 inches (really 9.6 though )
For the price I paid, it really does the job, and I am very satisfied. However, I hate the interface. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying. The icons, for one, are ugly. I own a Nexus 7 (2012 model) and it does not look the same, even if they both run on 5.1 Lollipop. I know it sounds stupid, but it bothers me Plus, everytime it boots, I see the big, ugly, Mediatek logo pop-up before the Android one does.
I'm well aware it shouldn't really matter, but I'd like to change that. Is there a way I can flash this tablet with another rom? I was already successful rooting it with KingRoot. I was about to go on and see how to make a backup with MTK Android Tools.
All that rambling to say I'd like to change the look and feel of the tablet and get rid of some junk applications that came already installed on the tablet. Some of these applications were installed by me.

}
The specs are as follows:
Also, it bothers me that it seems like the disk space was split in two partitions. Can I change this?
Now, I searched for a while, and I've come across what I believe may be the factory file for flashing, but I am really unsure...I wonder if these files will come with the same icons built in.
Does anyone have any experience with said tablet? I would just like to know what I can do to flash it with another rom, without screwing anything up. I'm really new at this, and I'm not even sure which guide I should follow.
Thank you for your time
