Um, yeah. Just upgraded from the MyHTC ROM to the Erofich ROM. Used Sprite backup to attempt to restore everything. Took like 15 tries, but I mostly got it back.
Now, however, everything in the screen where you pick your home screen is doubled! I get the usual menus for home screen layout, color scheme, background, and timeout. Then, right after them, they appear again in the same order!!!!! WTF?!?!?!?!?
If I pick a homescreen on the first drop down box, but don't pick it in the second one, then the homescreen changes to whatever was picked in the second box.
Please tell me somebody knows what file to restore to fix this!!!!
Thanks!
Oh, and anybody know where the value for the font color of the INCOMING call screen is located? Mine's all white on an almost white background so it's nearly impossible to see.
Thanks,
Yay. Fixed them.
The menu color was just the color scheme I had chosen. Never affected the menus before, but whatever...
The doubled-up home screens was fixed with a reg edit. In the key HKLM\System\SettingsApp\home.cpl.xml\Add there is a key called CheckForDuplication. Once I set that to a 1 and restarted, everything went back to normal. Yay.

I was wondering how to change the background screen when my TP2 is lock. I tried downloading different themes and background and it still doesn't change. I have a tmobile with stock rom and official 6.5 upgrade. Can anyone help.
thanks.
The background of your lock screen is the background of your Today screen. That is to say, the background set for Windows Mobile 6 and not the Touch Flo 3D background.
If you want to change your lock screen background, go to the Settings tab in TF3D, press the left soft key ("All Settings"), select the "Today" icon, and at the bottom of the first tab there will be a checkbox and a browse button to select your background picture.
S2U2
You also may want to consider S2U2. It offers much more control over locking phone and pictures Give it a search and check it out.

Thanks alot guys. I actually went to that window/tabs but wasn't sure what it would(I'm a newbie). Thanks again
I m having a really annoying problem. When I first got my phone (tilt2) I was trying out different lock screen backgrounds and somewhere along the way the incall lock screen buttons changed to these really horrible like round custom things. I didnt install anything so I dont have a CLUE how to get them back to the default buttons that I liked. Anyone have an idea?
OK, this is probably a dumb question, but I can't find anything on this question anywhere. I have been playing with my stock EVO when, on a couple of occasions, a menu pops up in the middle fo the screen. I can't find any reference to this m enu in the users guide, nor can I reproduce the touches/button presses that it takes to get it to come up. But it looks interesting. It's a full color menu that covers approximately a thiord of the screen's center, with six icons. Since I can't get it to come up again, I can't recall what exact menu items are displayed, but they are icons to applications such as calendar.
Has anyone else seen this menu and know how to get it to pop up consistently?
its your 6 most recently used applications. this happens when you hold down the home screen button.
Thats your recent items menu. Hold the home key for 3-4 seconds and it lists your six most recently used apps.
Hmmmmm awesome! I didnt know that
Thanks!! I would have never figured that out.
And if you just rebooted, it says, "No recent applications."
I'm not sure how other Rhodiums are set up...but the Tilt2 has the rather annoying feature of 'full screen' pop up volume indicator always coming up when you press the volume buttons. But in a very select few programs just a sidebar pops up...almost like a mini version. Is there any registry setting to change to make the 'mini' one the default?
This cab works for me....

I actually prefer the full screen version, it is easy to use with the finger. Touching to the left or right of the volume indicator will remove the display and go back to your normal screen.

Does this make it smaller, or remove it? Reading it over, it seems that the latter is the case.

It removes it. I like it, the volume buttons are more responsive instead of take a second or 2 to actually change, and the full screen is annoying.
I was bored at work and decided to poke around the registry to see if I could figure this out. I think I'm on to something. When you go to: /HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/VolumeOverlay/InhouseEnable2ndUI there are a bunch of folders for apps on the phone. I went into Manila and set it to 2 and then went back to the home screen (I have Sense 2.5 active) and had a little volume bar at the top of the screen when I went to change the volume. I may try to add other apps and see if it works, but I'm lazy, so I might just go play some tower defense instead. Hope this helps get someone else a little more motivated to help. hehe

Setting this value to "1" will give you the slim vertical slider on the left of the screen, but this slider is not operable by touch on the screen, it is only a visual aid to let you know where your volume is at when you press the vol up and down hardware buttons.
Hello, I have a HTC HD2 on Vodafone and have just downloaded and successfully installed the latest versions of cookies home tab and its editor.
When you see the countles videos people have uploaded online of people with their htcs, with the awesome little customised, cookies home tab screen, everything works perfectly.
My home screen by default is black and pretty blank, except it has a joint weather and time widget at the top of the screen. Pressing menu, edit home layout, i assumed would be the thing to do. When i do this, a screen just like i want appears, with the clasic big clock..and the quicklinks..and i can move/add/change everything as i want. I press done and this appears to be my new home screen.
However, whenever i attempt to scroll or move anything up and down on the screen, without reacting, it will just snap back to the original black screen i spoke about with the smaller widget at the top.
This means i cannot customise anything, for example the handy expansion of quicklinks..etc, as when i do, everything will just snap back to its default.
Like i said there are hundreds of videos online about this program but none running you from installation to customisation, so i dont know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated to get me started with this program as its getting on my nerves...
Thanks a lot!
several weeks ago a new lock screen appeared - out of nowhere - and now won't go away. I've tried to manually go into setting and change it - no luck. When I restart my s5, my original screen (which is still selected in settings) comes up, but is then taken over by this lock screen that won't go away. I'm running Themer - thought it was associated with that, but I've since cleared cache/data/deleted it, with no luck. This thing doesn't keep time, give any notifications, or swipe responsively. A real PIA. It also affects the notification bar - won't give me my notifications. Same with the lock screen - occasionally I will swipe my screen and see the original notification bar, but mostly this new one. Any thoughts? I'm really not keen on wiping the whole thing are starting from scratch.
A screenshot would be helpful, it sounds like part of another app you have installed.
