HTC Wizard background picture

Hiya...
I own a SPV m3000 (Wizard) and have a really annoying problem.
I got a background picture that I want to use on my Wizard.
In the home-screen I have put it as the background picture, and it shows well.
Now every time I soft-reset my device, the picture is gone, and the background of the original today screen is back up again.
If I click in start however, in the background of the popup menu, the picture is still partially there, so it looks like it's stuck "underneath" the background that is displayed. :evil:
Is there a tweak witch lets me keep my background, even after a soft reset?
And by the way, has anybody found a tweak yet to increase the time the keyboard backlight is on? :?:
Hope someone can help me...
Greetings!!!

Try to place your background picture in `my documents` folder.

Already tried that....
Also put it in the Windows directory...
No luck I'm afraid....
Any other suggestions?

Try to find the other image change your new picture to the same file name and overwrite the original. Dont know if its in the rom or just a file on the device though but its worth a check.

nope
That aint it either..
I think the pictures are in Rom.
It are the stwater and tdywater.gif, but they change back to the original after a soft reset.
I now took matters in my own hands, and creater a new today screen wit a today screen maker.
That seems to work....
Still, has anybody gotten a tip to keep the keyboard light on longer?

I need more space for the Hammerskin in my screen

Hello all,
I have recently installed the TodayPlus program and the HammerSkin 1.05.6 on my Qtek 9100 and its awsome.
However I do have a problem with fitting the main page to my screen resulting in a ugly scroll bar to appear.
So I need to get some more space in the screen and I can live without the lower bar which as standard includes an icon for the Comm Manager.
Is it possible to remove this part and if so.....how ?

There's a russian program that will force remove the tray.
My VJToggleToday will remove the soft keys and start bar as required, and will eventually remove the tray when I can get some time to finish writing it.
Have a read through the end of the VJToggleToday thread to find the russian program.
Please post screenshots. Not enough people use TodayPlus, it's a shame it's dead. However, I found it to be heavy on resources, but still amazing.

Hey,
thanks for the input.....I actually found a very simple solution: Delete Init_tray file from the start folder under windows.......and gone it was
Screen shots.....how do I do that ?

Hello vijay555, from your post I guess, you are not using TodayPlus. What are you using for your today screen, saw some of your screen shot it look great...

Remove orange customisation on the call screen

Hi
Does anyone know how to change the orange customisation on the calling screen, where it is orange on a white background and get the HTC black and turquoise?
Thanks
Ben

Hi all need some help. i am new to the world of ppc phones with the touch dual on orange as my 1st phone. i think i have a similar problem as ben.
i hate the hideous home screen that orange has. Is there any way i can change the settings so that i have the htc cube home screen with weather instead of the orange home screen?
hope im not hijacking your thread ben
please help
thanx
Nik

go to start -> settings -> today
then select htc rather then orange. then click items at the bottom, untick orange and tick htchome and what ever otherones you want. such as calender and tasks this should do it for ya. but it wont remove the custom settings from the dialing app.
for that your best bet is to go to the hermes forum i would guess and grab a cabfile from thier that has the original touch dialer and install that cab.
[edit]ok i did ya job for ya, is this what your looking for?[/edit]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311557&highlight=touch+dialer
as always make a backup of your phone as the cab could have a negitive effect on your phone. as its tested with a different phone then ours...

thanx mattie

I had the same problem, and there is a real easy solution to it.
First do a Hard Reset to your HTC Touch.
After the Hard Reset process is completed and after the Touch PAd is configured it will apear on the screen a message saying that in a few seconds your HTC Touch will be customized.
IMMEDIATeLY do a SOFT RESET.
You HTC Touch will reboot and you will have the original HTC Colors (Cube colors included). Everything will be from the original HTC and not from your brand (like red for Vodafone, or Blue for TMN...)
Hope it helped
Merry Xmas everyone

Spb as default today screen

I am using HTC touch can anyone please help me to make spb mobile shell as the default today screen i went to the posts of spb mobile shell but they are soooo big that i couldnt find anything.........all i want that spb interface to be my default today screen.... thanks in advance

You mean the 3 sided one where you can flip through?
You can't really have it as a today screen. You can however set it to display on wakeup so every time you turn on your phone it's there. And when you lock your phone it is also there.

This can be happen and after soft reset. Just edit the mobile shell's shortcut in the windows\startup folder with a file manager(I use total commander) and remove the "-noshow" option. If there is not exist an spb mobile shell shortcut, just create one from the executable.
The problem is that starts in launcher screen and not in Now, and I didn't find until now how to change this. Maybe there is a command line parameter but I don't know which is.

please sum1 only tell me how to bring the now screen (the analog clock one only) as the today screen i dont want anything else...........

you cant. search through the millions of mobile shell 2.0 threads. the closest thing you can do is that reg hack, or go to mobile shell settings and set the now screen to appear on device wake up. it cant be set as your today screen.

There is a shortcut to the Now screen. If you look where you can assign buttons it allows you to choose the Now screen. I am not sure where it is as an exucatable.

You can go to the Now screen with the "\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\Menulauncher.exe -now" command. You can assign it to a button, or a FTouchFlo gesture.

1.) Copy the "MobileShell.exe" application from \Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell, and
2.) create a shortcut "Shortcut to MobileShell.lnk" in \windows\StartUp, then
3.) Perform a Soft reset.
Now the Mobile Shell Spb Menu (Application) screen auto loads after the soft reset. No Reg edit required for this...
I have not seen or heard of a Now Screen edit as of yet but I'm sure one of these great Programmer / Chefs has one in the works... Have you seen what they are doing so far?

The above mention instructions does not replace the Today Screen but only bypasses it after a reset. If you close MS2.0 at any time, it will take you back to the Today Screen. As far as I know, you can not totally replace your Today Screen.
Good luck and keep on reading... The XDA Google search function can do wonders....

Thanks for this! With this I achieve to make the device starts in now screen after soft reset with the help of mortscript.
I made a shortcut with above command, and after I write this script:
Code:
run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MobileShell.exe")
Sleep( 10000 )
Run ("\Program Files\Spb Mobile Shell\MenuLauncher.lnk")
I put a shortcut of the script file in windows\startup folder and reset the device.
Now I have the now screen after every soft reset.

I modified the memwatcher sdk sample to launch spb now screen whenever user gets to today screen. Install the CAB file and every time when you return to today screen it'll quickly put you back at spb now screen.

I knew it wouldn't be long before someone made this happen... Good work....

That's What I Have Been Waiting For!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Job!

Be careful when using this cab.
I installed this tool on my german htc touch and now the device freezes all the time.
There is an error message saying " can`t open file MenuLauncher. Perhaps this file is not signed or one of its component is missing".
Then my device is showing the rotating icon for searching and doesn`t accept any input. How can i get rid of this without having to hardreset my htc ? After soft reset the device is still running in this error message, and active sync will not recognize my ppc to uninstall from there, so I need some help please.......

got the same problem on my german device.
any ideas to fix it?
@rod65
perform a softreset and boot in "safe-mode"... deinstallieren fertig...

Thank YOU!
