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?
If you're looking to get rid of the menu bar at the bottom of the Today Screen, read on. This is not a new tip, but might save you time, as there's a lot of different versions of these programs flying around. Only the one below works on WM6 / HTC Touch.
I personally find that the Menu Bars at the bottom of the Today Screen really spoil the look of the HTC Touch's sleek black/grey theme. Besides, the Comm Manager and Contacts are both accessible via the spinning cube (or the camera button if you install Double Launcher) so there's no need to have on the Today Screen, you may as well get more space for plugins, or just to keep everything looking neat and tidy. See screenshot below!
Here's how to banish them forever (?!) :
1. Download ToggleTodayIIAlpha from this link:
http://www.vijay555.com/vj/releases/vjtoggletodayii/vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe
2. Copy it to your \Windows\Startup directory. (or somewhere else and paste a shortcut instead)
3. Go into the registry and edit this key:
HKLM/Software/Vijay555/VJTodayToggle
Change these keys:
Softkeysize = 1
StartSize = 26
TrayVisible = 1
That's it! I've had no massive problems with this so far, although I haven't been testing it for too long. I'd be interested to hear how people get on in terms of stability/bugs. You WILL get problems if you try to use any of the older VJTodayToggle programs in the thread on this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243211
(SIP keyboard staying on, SIP moving to the top of the screen, menu titles disappearing but not the background, etc.)
...in fact, that's precisely why I'm sharing this info with you, as this thread is 39 pages long and it's only towards the end that things become totally clear! I'll post again if there's any unexpected side-effects, I'm currently minimising BatteryStatus and I don't know whether this will
Good luck!
Carlos
NOTES / ADVANCED
=======================
A: If you want to make your screen even neater AND still overclock your Touch, then, in step 3 above, you can make TrayVisible=0 then you can minimise the BatteryStatus plugin and it won't show up on your today screen. (right click on batterystatus icon, choose 'show rows -> minimise') I haven't tested this properly yet.
B: If you want to explore hiding the Start Menu, feel free, it looks superb when you first do it, but then I have found that the HTC biotouch (spinning cube) automatically re-instates the start menu bar when it's deactivated each time.
C: Please note, this program ( tt2.exe) DOES NOT TOGGLE, even though it's called that! Again, it's a 39 page thread, I warned you...
D: You can also run TT2.exe with a -config option to avoid editing the registry, but this would actually make the above even more long-winded to explain to any n00bs.
E: A nice new HTC wallpaper is doing the rounds without the logo. (As you can see from my screenshot, it's mis-positioned with the extra screen space) See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319830
F: Vijay555 has been meaning to release a new (non-alpha) version of the software for some time, but sounds pretty busy. He seems like an all-round splendid guy though and I'd like to thank him for this software and his continued postings/programming.
I have the HTC X7500 WM6 and I've been desperate to make it works.
I've been trying other version from the 40 pages thread, so I'll try this one and I will post result.

Good luck! The honest truth is that after I'd posted this, I discovered a couple of bugs that appeared in soak testing. I gave up in the end - it worked 90% but I would still occasionally get conflict, e.g. the SIP keyboard would appear at the top of the screen sometimes and only a soft reset would put it back where it was meant to be!

Yep I confirm that, SIP keyboard is there, and sometimes as well softkeys stay there after softreset.
Well actually for me it's even worse, it's hiding the system tray (the bar just above the softkeys bar) where we can add shortcuts icons and keep the softkeys bar enabled..
Im disappointed but thks for vijay555 for all the efforts
Perfect... without HTC Logo is even better...
Thanks Carlos,
I've just installed and its working fine. With the clean background from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319830 looks even better.
Cheers,
Marcelo

See my original post, have you tried setting TrayVisible=1 in the registry, this should show the system tray.
I followed exactly what u posted, it displayed it correctly the first time, then after soft reset it was displaying only the softkeys bar and hiding the system tray bar
Thks anyway
How does this look on screens BESIDES the today screen? I have used other programs on different WM phones in the past and although the bottom bar disappears on the today screen, it is still on other screens.
Also, can you use the bottom of the screen or is it just dead space? Some of us have moved the HTC Home Plug to the bottom of the page and if it is just dead space, it is going to look bad....

The menu bar is visible on other screens, this behaviour is by design. I cannot see why anybody would want it invisible on other screens, as you normally need those softkeys for menus in most programs!
As far as I know you can use the bottom of the screen, it is not dead space. But why not try it out - it's unlikely to do any harm. You can always delete it from your startup directory to uninstall if you don't want it.

Well it works well so far.....(Not my screen, Neo's screen @ HoFo)
I can't remember if the TrayVisible setting even works - I think it was something I was intending to build in, but never got around to it.
Apologies... I'm kinda programming again, had lots going on, so never finished the app. Sorry for you guys having to use my unfinished piece of cr*p. I'll make it work properly one day!

HELP!!!
I installed this, but I don't know how to get into the registry from an .exe file, so I just tried to open the file through my phone, and instead it has hidden my start bar, as well as the bottom bar. How do I reverse this???

How did you "move" the HTC Home plugin to the bottom part of the Today-screen without any plugin above it? I searched all over the forums, but I cannot find the answer to this question

Use the HTC Home customizer to "unlock" it. Then you can move it around like normal.
However, it doesn't redraw correctly on the right side if you unlock it, and a scrollbar comes and goes.
i have a other solution!! PCM shrink installe it and your bar remove it s very easier! For become to the original config juste delete the programmz!!
won't stick
Hi..very nice and easy Zip File..just one problem: the toggle won't stick after a soft reset = one has to go into File Explorer..double click the Toggle File and only than the screen is "clean" again.
Any way to make the toggle "stick"?
I have not this problem! I install the cab i going on the explorer and today shrink and clik on after i reboot my pda ans the bar not appear ... You can try put a abbreviated of today skrink in WINdows/started for star the application automatic on windows sartup
the result of the appl:
I have this running at startup on my Tilt, works with screen rotations and everything! And the hard keys are still mapped to calendar and contacts for quick access, awesome.
Many thanks, couldn't stand those useless soft keys before.

Installing HTC Home Customizer sent my phone a bit loopy so I had to install HTC Home 2.1, phone now works OK but when I select the phone profiles tab the 4 icons for Normal, Silent, Vibrate and Automatic just show folders no icons.
I have searched for help but it's not easy with a search string like this.
I've been looking through the Registry to see where the icons should live but can't find anything that looks right to to edit so thought it best to leave alone and seek advice.
Any help much appriacated.
Not really a big help but I had the same problem a while back... turned out to be a corrupted HTC Home plugin... had to reinstall
cheers
B
same problem for me!!!! plz help
Hi brothers.
I have the AHEN rom, wit mobile 6.1
And like the rom, but its not the point. So, i install the xboxmod Touch Flo 3D-2
nice work, congrats for xboxmod, perfectly, but after i install i put NoCurtains.cab (created by NisseDILLIGAF i guess) to remove the top and bottom curtains, (i don't like ehehe) só when I gonna se my today!? man crazy, appear like error.
The curtains was gone, but the slidder apper like a full black color, so u can see what u have above the slidder, other is the center of the screen, its frozen. Appear only a text: "Title" and if u try move the screen with your finger in slidder or in the center of screen ... don't move, its competly frozen. The Start button dont do nothing too.
So I guess the nocurtains.cab modify diferente files, cause the new TF3D right? So somebody can tell me how i change this?
I wanna the new TF3D-2 by xboxmod without curtains.
Other thing is, in the TF3D-2 the button START, dont show like before, now when u tap there appear the "tab programs" to list all your programs or some shortcuts u put in there. Can I have a cab or something to back to the original format? I like the dropdown menu. Cause, I can access all my programs better then now. Can somebody share this with me?
The other rest. Its perfect people! nice work's.
So i wait a awnser, please help me people my today its frozen right now!
Bye
Soft reset, and click the start menu and go into settings before TF3D launches.
Don't install mods meant for TF3D1.
ty brother..
But i need do this always, if I wanna use the dropdown menu?
Dont have how somebody make a cab to change the start button on TF3D-2 appear like TF3D ??
And somebody have a nocurtains fore TF3D-2 ???? please?
Hi there ... for a while now I`m using Duttys ROMs, but I have a problem with the sensor that turns off the screen during call ... sometimes it doesn`t work properly and I keep pressing screen buttons with my cheek. I remember having an incall slide curtain on 1.43 original ROM that helped for this bug, but it`s never included in any latest ROM ....
So I`m asking for the folowing : is there a way to install just the curtain cover, or change the registry somehow in order to bring back the curtain, or it must be implemented in the ROM itself ?
Here`s a screenshot of what I mean ....
P.S. Thanks to anybody that can help me !!!
i have the same problem and it's driving me nuts . also, the "tap with two fingers to shut off the screen" trick does not work with my device. windows button --> lock helps but is not reliable. maybe someone can make a custom made lock screen?
i'm looking for that too... it would be easier to have the proximity sensor issue fixed thand that (battery wise)...
Anybody
making the curtain show or not is an option that you can set, and heck knows if I can remember where!
I actually want to have all those buttons always accessible (that is, I disabled the curtain) because I've never had problems with proximity on my ear and accessing all the options immediately is easier, but I uderstand it's not the same with everyone.
i can't find it in settings
It depends on the Rom you`re using ... when there is a ROM with curtain Enabled by default , there are programs like BSB Tweaks that can remove the curtain ... but where the curtain is not presented at all, there is no way to enable it .... that`s what I`m asking ... isnt there a way to just flash the phone canvas, or a .cab or something to bring back the curtain on cooked ROMs ?
