Hi there,
Ive got an orange version of this phone at work i'll be doing some work on in the next couple of weeks, but it has been totally brutalised by some mercury software. It's software that relays gps information to a server via gprs and links into tomtom.
The software removed all the program shortcuts and control panel icons.
I'm wondering if there is a way to restore the control panel icons. I did the program icons by copying the shortcuts from my universal.
Thanks!
Anyone knows where to find the HTC Home App that used to be on the tytn and some other phones before they had TF3D?
I prefer that to TF3D as I still have full access to my today screen
i don't know if htc home scrren works on xperia (guess not because of resolution) but you can install SecondToday to have a fully customizable old style today to use with tflo3d
search for pjc htc home - it's a vga version and works perfectly on my x1. apart from the fact that it doesn't appear to have the audio player. :-(
do let me know if you manage to find a version with the audio player ...
Yes it works.
But not the weather tab. Any solution?
it works but causes a bit of lagginess on the today screen. any other tried and tested ones?
Anyone knows how I can have weather working?
a reg hack here has fixed mine :

Hey fellow SEX1 users!
Just posting a quick note in our forum here to let you know that I've updated my WVGA VistAdvance Wisbar theme in the Development and Hacking forum. Hopefully you'll take advantage of this if you missed it the first time, and if you already installed v1.0, please update to this version, as I've fixed a few bugs and added AppToDate support.
Oh, and please comment in that main Dev + Hacking thread so everything stays organized.
Hope you like!
very nice... Do you have to disable pocket plus in today to run this theme..WA3
scar45, that looks awesome. Seeing that you have an xperia, does it slow down your phone when you use it? Also, what version of wishbar do you have to have? And third, would you have to uninstall spb shell tob use it?
Looks good. Unfortunately I realized that Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop somehow doesn't work too well with TF3D (or maybe just TF3D as a panel) so uninstalled it.
I cannot get this work with the X1
I have installed but cannot find out how to apply it or use it.
anyone have any ideas??
same here, intalled the VistAdvance but couldnt find it anywhere
Cool Theme, i have to do a question....
1) This theme run good with TouchFlo Manila Full Cab on X1? I like it and i will want to continue to use it... is possibile use this in another panel?
For people that say you cant find it. You need to have wishbar advance desktop or wishbar advance install in your phone first. What you are downloading from scar45 post is just a theme for it. I've been using it and it's great, works with panels and tfl3d.

Hi randy_c,
You should be able to use it as a panel for sure. Wisbar Advance Desktop v2+ now has an option to "detach from the today screen". If you select this, then WAD2 will be running on it's own, like a standalone application.
Therefore, if you are able to config a panel XML to load WAD2, you should be able to use it as a dedicated panel.
If anyone does try this and notices that it works, please let me know and I'll fully integrate it into my theme. I'll create lovely Panel graphics, and it will be easy to update if you're running v1.1.

Love to...but not very good at creating XML to load WAD2...Anyone know how please......
does it have Gesture support?
like sweeping finger across from right to left changes the screen?
I just don't know why this didn't work on my Xperia: i've installed WisBar 2.1.1.1 and then VistAdvance...so i've done a soft reset and then, on the Today panel (the principal one) i see only a black screen, waiting for something...nothing more.
So i've uninstalled VistAdvance...soft reset...and after a while WisBar comes with a default theme...REALLY SLOW!!!
But i didn't managed to let VistAdvance to work...
I installed it yesterday and found that:
When I loaded the theme using WAD2 i would get the theme but the windows taskbar (start menu) remained the same as was not customized to the vista look of the theme.
When I loaded the theme using WA3 I found that start menu was changed however the theme background, menus were not loaded.
I was getting gwes.exe errors and DesktopAdvance.exe crashed as well. I used it with WAD2 for a couple of hours, as that actually showed the menus and must say I really like it a lot! Nice and smooth - good customization.
One other thing I found was that after installing the theme my connections were screwed. I couldnt always connect to my phone network, trying to turn on data connection resulted in the phone crashing as it hung on the comm manager page and Opera browser wouldnt let me use BBC iPlayer (Streaming media was coming up with a 'failed to load' error) whereas after removing WAD,WA and the theme it worked perfectly.
I am not sure how much it is related to my handset or the theme but something wasn't happy.
Did you disable task manager? I still think someone should develop a panel for this beautiful software WAD & WA

Find that both Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop don't really work well with TF3D. If I start an app while in TF3D, after exiting the app, I'll end up in Wisbar Advance Desktop rather than back in TF3D. And for Wisbar Advance, had some issues with it but can't exactly remember right now (cos had uninstalled it already).
i see alot of new themes that i like, including yours.
Now i have been looking to buy this app.
what is the difference betweent WA and WAD ?
What why would i need WAD?
Sorry for the off topic.
WA - WizBar Advance 3, skins the tool bar and start menu of the device,
WAD - WizBar Advance Desktop 2, skins the today screen.
I tried using them both, and while they look really nice and do improve functionality, there were a few problems.
1. I couldnt get the Panels to work nicely with WA; the phone just freezes for 5 secs when you press the X Panel button.
2. There seemed to be a few bugs in WAD, with parts of the pages disappearing, and others appearing from other pages, which got really annoying.
3. It also seemed to slow down the phone a fair bit, which I could have got used to.
I did enjoy the customizability of the interface, definitely a bonus compared to SPB, but I couldn't ignore the problems it brought.

Thanks for the reply.
So if i want to use this skin
i need WAD?
And i have a custom rom without the panels.
i guess that i would not have any issues because i dont have any panels?
Yeah you have to download and install WizBar Advance Desktop 2 to use the main theme, and WizBar Advance 3 to use the start menu skin.
Hopefully you can get it working better than I did!
Hi there,
I tried my friend's Diamond with cooked rom( not sure which version is it)
I found that their Time/Battery display is quite useful.
When it is on Today page, it will show Battery on Taskbar(Since we have a big clock of TF3D, we don't need a extra one)
But once I opened any other programs, it will show Time on Taskbar.
Do anyone know who can they do that?
Can i change that by regedit?
thanks a lot and sorry for my bad english.

You can try TouchLockPro, which has a BattClock and is at the same time a locking utility. It works on any Windows Mobile phone with TouchScreen. But probably some of the sensors work on the Xperia, like the light sensor.
Settings > Clocks & Alarms > More tab > Display the clock on the title bar in all programs
