make it go away! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Is there a way to make the call history and calendar links on the home page go away? We can keep the clock but the other 2 have to go. Thanks.

switch to the analog clock.
that hasnt got them on the home screen.

either my diamond doesn't have an option for analog or I just can't find it.

no it wouldnt do.
you have to install it.
go to the clocks thread,find one you like,
download the cab and install.

icons on themes, dialer skin.

I have tried to search and find what to do to install a theme that has icons, and cannot figure it out. Do I need some program that everyone is using? Also on dialer skins how are those installed?
Do skins kill battery life or use alot of system resources?
Thanks
What theme? If its HTC home, you install the .cab file from the phone or sync the phone to pc and double click .exe.
If its a .tsk file, Put the file in the windows directory of the phone then go to today screen and select from there.
Skins dont use a lot of system resources UNLESS they are actively doing something( S2U2 for example if you install a moving gif as your wallpaper) as they are just being used instead of the originals.. Cheers...
yea, u need to be a wee bit more clear as to what you want, you're probably new and dont know the right terms, so maybe if you posted some pics we could understand a bit better what u are trying to achieve.
this is the style im looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=51534&d=1190401691 with the big clock and some icons below. I think that I will need a plug in to show the icons. I installed a tsk theme but it only changed the color of the top and bottom bars, but did not show the large clock or icons like that one. I saved it to the memory card, not within a folder and I was able to browse find and install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry Im New
thanks,
Nicholas
that big clock is the htc home plugin, which you can download all over this forum, or at www.pocketemu.com which incidentally also has another program called htc home customizer, which would be the easiest way to customize the home icons. It may not have that exact theme you are looking for, so the best way to get that theme is to ask the person who posted that screenshot

Ditto. Welcome to the addiction...I'm lucky to keep the same clock and icons for more than a week...

Can the HTC Home plugin only show the clock?

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...

Home Tab Flip Up Gesture Stopped Working

I've been playing around with some clock themes and then went back to the standard white flip clock, using some manila files posted on here. Somewhere in the process I lost the up gesture on the Home tab that moves the flip clock out of the way.
Does anyone know which manila files I need to restore to get this to work again? I'd rather not do a complete restore to default. TIA...

a little help needed in putting wallpapers in TF3D

hi, may i know how to put my own wallpapers in TF3D?
i just couldnt get it there.
thanks for ur help!
Slide along to settings, and then there is an option called wallpaper, and then from there you can just use the file browser to choose which ever one you want.
Or do you mean on all the tabs? Because that will just do it for the home screen.
yaya, what i mean is all the tab.

Weather animations on home screen only, Verizon WinMo 6.5

Hello. Long time lurker, first time poster.
So, I want to have my wallpaper of choice on only my home screen, and have the weather animated as well. I'm running Verizon's official 6.5 upgrade with, as I understand it, Sense 2.1 (I haven't been able to confirm that the way I could on the old ROM, though).
I made a cab of the wallpaper with the nearest I could find to the proper settings, which was TouchFLO v2.1 - No Compression - Home Tab. HDWall tells me that I need Co0kieMonster's Patch. I found it here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730, though it definitely seems to be meant for the Blackstone, and not my Rhodium. Not able to find anything better, and not knowing my specific version of Sense, I tried a number of his cab's, starting with the Verizon specific one, and then running through all of his 2.1 variants. At the best, there was no noticeable change on my phone. At worst, the clock would only display white boxes with bits of black in them (and wouldn't flip up to show the text version), the Call History became 0 Missed Calls and my calendar appointments wouldn't show up on the home screen. Trying different settings for home screen only in HDWall either resulted in no change to my wallpaper, or the icon bar at the top being weirdly skinned or turning green (which makes sense, since I wasn't using the correct settings). HDWall works fine creating a wallpaper for all my tabs, but I don't want that.
So then, does anyone have a solution to suggest? I can't imagine I'm the first one to have tried to do this with this particular configuration. Any advice and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I believe this is what you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511&highlight=hdwall
This has the patch included already.
If you want to change the wallpaper of the home screen without affecting other tabs then go to settings on TF3D and change the home wallpaper. Then install this cab, soft reset, and the animated weather will be on top of any custom wallpaper...

Gah! That was sooooo easy! It was just a cab! I'd put probably three hours into getting this to work, and there was a cab for it. Thank you so much!!
So now I have another question:
When I installed the cab, the top curtain on my home screen disappeared. I was thrilled about this, because I was going to get rid of it next anyway. As a result, though, the clock shifted upwards to fill the space (around 1/4"), but the weather animations didn't. In most cases this doesn't mean anything. However, when it's sunny and there's the lens flare, it comes from just below the sun instead of inside it. When icicles form on the clock, they're happening a quarter of an inch below the top edge of the clock, rather than on the top edge.
These are minor issues, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix. Thanks in advance...
I already have weather animation on mine. I didn't add anything. Is this stock T-Mobile 6.5/2.1?
Mine's the stock Verizon 6.5/2.1. My issue isn't that I don't have the weather animations (I do, both with the default wallpaper and, thanks to the above cab, with custom wallpapers as well), but that the clock on the homepage isn't where the phone thinks it should be, which results in the weather animations being misplaced a bit.

I don't think it will, no. The weather clock on the homescreen is limited to WinMo 6.5 and Sense UI, as far as I know, and this cab is for that.
Once your official ROM upgrade hits though, you should be able to use it, so maybe save it until then. It shouldn't be more than a month and a half before it's released.
