hey guys,
I've been searching around and it seems like most people say you can not remove the big clock from the htc home plugin because everything else uses the same size or something like that. But digging around I found someone post this:
"goto HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\
then edit the value of Tabsetting by remove number 1 and you wont see the clock.
unload and load the HTCHome plugin afterward."
do you think it will work? I have to buy a copy of spb backup first. Has anyone tried this with good results?
It will work, but it will hide all clock tab, including unread messages counters etc. You'll have only Weather and Programs.

hopefully a simple one this...
I'm using VJSMS (the new version) and want to create simple icons just with a bit of text on them (or a photo) so I know who each one is for. I'm using SPB Pocket Plus to give me instant access to these SMS shortcuts.
However, I cannot find how to let it display my new icons!!!
I can find how to change an icon within SPB, but it only gives me a choice of its own icons, not the ones I've put on my SD card.
I can see how to use the "Default Icon" which presumably is set within WM2005...
But how do I get it to show my custom icons? If I could change (per shortcut) the icon it uses within WM2005, this would be enough.
timetex - does the new version work ok?
Check here for some info on new icons

Some guys have posted about how to make icons for this launcher, but I'm afraid I've never used it. I'll try to remember who asked and how they sorted it, but AFAIK there's a limit on how many custom icons you can have?

Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if there is a way to make the HTC Home plugin only show the clock, like a registry edit or something? The thing is I use ultimate launch, and I dont need the new sms and missed call tabs, and the other tabs below with weather etc. They're just using space. I tried other home plugins that only have a clock, but I could not customize them the way I like (I really like the diamond clocks for HTC Home).
I've tried searching the forums (alot) for an answer, but I just could'nt find any. So sorry if this has been answered before!
Thanks
no registre... , easy manipulation
look
I want to remove the tabs completely, so I get the space to other plugins, if it's possible. Or another plugin that is a clock only that I can customize the same way as the HTC Home plugin clock.
I have also tried unchecking all the tabs in the menu you show me here, but I still get the four standard tabs (Home, weather, app launcher & profiles). Even edited the tab registry string, but they're still there.
Try this. I've use it and it's quite simple. In the today items don't choose htc home and use the pdc clock instead.
Thank you! But I allready tried it and I don't think I can customize it the way I want to.
When it comes to my question about removing all the tabs from the HTC Home plugin, I kind of figured out myself that it was pretty stupid. Since the home tab in the HTC Home plugin -IS- the clock, I now understand it's impossible to remove it and still have the clock.
But if anyone has a clock plugin that you can customize the same way as the HTC Home plugin clock, please post!
well what some people do is use the samsung clock instead of the htc home clock...
Try this link, it isn't HTC Home but the clock looks similar, but as far as I know you cannot customize it...

Hi Folks,
i´ve just ordered my Touch HD, and i hope it will come to me before Santa (end of November i guess).
My question is: what can be seen on the homescreen of the HD? Today i use my good old friend, the wizard100. On the Todayscreen i have full Battery and Storage information, Weatherforecast for 4 Days, and calendar appointments showing up to 3 days. Also a today-link for tomtom. Is TF3D able to show this too? I need to see all these things on just one quick view. How customizable is TF3D?
Of coz u can.
Just install the softwares.
Which softwares in particular are you referring to?
My question was how many things is TF3D able to do without any external software. On my Wizard 100 i´ve installed following software: SPB Weather, SBSH Phoneweaver, SPB Time, Calendar+ , DeviceLock, Battrey Status nad TomTom. Except Tomtom i hope that TF3D could show me things like weather,Appointments and other things without installing other software. I like to use the HTC Homescreen, but i dont know how many information it is able to show?
Afaik it has the same home screen as the Diamond but probably with a little more info because of the added screen height. The diamond home screen shows clock, missed call status and first next calendar item.
And this is what i wanted to know: Do you think the HD would show more informations than the normal TF3D from f.e. the Diamond? This must be an complete different TF3D, or not?
It's not completely different, it is in fact rather similar. It has the same tabs bar the stock tab, and most tabs just show a little more info to complement to extra screen height. Also, it has very nice transitions between FLO/programs, much like the iPhone zoom effect.
Same trick is applied on the HD to make it 'feel' more slick and responsive.
Anyway, if you look at the French video on YouTube you will catch a glimpse of many of the tabs, including the home tab. It shows exactly the same stuff as on the Diamond, except I am guessing it will show more upcoming calendar events in the bottom.
You have a choice between TouchFlo3D or the normal Windows Mobile that you used to.
What you have on it will depend what Apps you like, its like your old PDA / PDA Phone. In other words, almost anything.
If you are just talking about the homescreen itself, than you get to see the same thing like on the touch diamond but when you scroll down, the list will be much longer so you can see more appointments. which is a good thing
oh and in the case you didn't know:
there is also a new "customize tabs: rearrange and remove tabs" setting !!
can be seeN here:

Why homescreen shortcuts aren't seen is beyond me, however I have noticed that there are two shortcuts found on the homescreen already. Call History and Calender, pressumebly all these do is reference a location on the device.
So my question is, can we make it so we can add our own shortcuts, to link to another location or possibly an application?

I would donate 25 dollars or euros for anyone who can pull this off, I almost can't live without my tasks there
If you both are talking about ammending the 2 right and left shortcuts on TF3D Home tab then you should go search around.. Its possibel to change with many apps or via registry..

I've already managed to do this with an application called TouchFlo Detacher.
I'm referring to the two shortcut links placed underneath the clock or to the right of it when in landscape mode. You can't miss them.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to add or change them.
I found a way looking in many forums, they say you need to use a famous tool called ssmaho... try to look here on xda, where it's hosted. I downloaded it but I don't understand how to use it... so far no luck in linking pocket informant to calendar and home tabs. any help would be very appreciated!
Change yes, add too, probably not
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497197 for various changes
But I can't get the plugings working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102 to add Tasks
This thread is very old however I don't like to create threads for questions which have been already asked:
I use a Jackos Hybrid ROM with WM6.1 + Sense 2.1 (fastest I've ever seen), but I miss at least 2-3 shortcuts to most popular programs on my homescreen. Is there a theme or a patch which couls allow me to put non-standard shortcuts directly on my HS? Independently on the history and calendar fields.
I've tried google, but there are tons of unnecessary information but I couldn't find anything helpful. Here, on xda, I've found information about some mods (like MaxManila) but none is reported to work with WM6.1. Besides these mods are heavy, and I don't need a comprehensive application but a small patch to have 3 icons on HS.
Thanks in advance guys (and girls of course)!
Hi guys !
First of all great work with this forum makes so much fun to tweak my hd2 leo.
i am using the original big clock among with weather animation but my city name Offenbach am Main is overlapping with the animated sun. is there any possibility to cut of the city name ? That onlye Offenbach is displayed ? Thank u very much in advance !
Ive just had a play with the name entries in eth registry. Sorry, looks like it pulls the name directly from the servers. As soon as you adjust the name in the registry it removes the location from the locations list.
ahh ****
it aint a big problem but it catches the eye ! seems i have to get used to it
thx
@samsamuel, how about the long detailed weather forecasts in text like "intermittent clouds, etc...." that comes with the original weather/clock display? they also got cut, would you know of any registry tweak that can remove it? i really don't need to know in text what is the weather forecast.

i dont know for certain, but i suspect that text comes from accuweather too.
Go to accuweather website, and look at the hour by hour forecast, and you should see the text matches perfectly.
Both these things are possibly something that could be edited, but not via the registry. I suspectthere is a manila file that handles it.,
