[REQ] More quick links!! - HD2 General

I'm suprised not to find a request for this when searching. I need to increase the number of quick links on the Sense home tab. I've just used my last one and need some more.
Can anyone help with this?
Edit: Probably worth mentioning - I've already got the 4x4 quicklinks mod installed. I'm ideally looking for another page, but 5x5 will do for now

With Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate you can have up to 20 quick links.

Thanks, but it's overkill. I have had that installed, and I just didn't like it.
I'm sure there'll be some way to extend it, without having to add all the other stuff that comes in that mod.

Would be nice to have someway of having a second page you could flip down to (a bit like the iphone has flip across...)

My thoughts exactly, but that sounds like a massive reworkinging to me. I think to get 5x5 would simply be a case of someone "in the know" modding the existing manila.

For the time being you can get 4X4. It's in the stickies.

Yeah, thanks. Already got that installed, as per the original post.

Ooops! Sorry, turns out I wasn't paying enough attention...

There's a 5x4 (5 across) cab on this page...

Are there any 4x4 ones that don't break contacts pictures/wallpapers?

The contact pics is still an issue, but since the people tab is the next tab along, I personally don't see the point in having contacts on the home page.
I don't know if the wallpaper issue still exists with the 4x4 cab on the stickied tweaks page, but I can confirm that if you use HDWall to get a background on all tabs, that definitely works.

I like to have my girlfriends contact shortcut on the homescreen, so its kinda important to me...
I've seen a post with a 5x4 arrangement where contact pics work, but it has two different cabs, but no indication which works with the HD2.
Anyone?

Fair comment about the gf on the shortcut. Didn't think of that.
The 20 shortcuts is in this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5038737&postcount=1
and is called Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525. (I didn't want to directly link the cab as there's some other useful stuff on that post.)

Awesome, thanks heaps for that.
EDIT: 20 shortcuts works, doesn't appear to affect any other homescreen UI, and contact images display properly. Good thing I tried it, turns out 16 shortcuts would have been woefully inadequate. Didn't realise quite how quickly I had accumulated apps...

By popular demand: the cabs i use

Thanks for the SoftKey changer. That's a big plus. I wanted to change the left softkey since i've had the wing.
I was able to install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.weatherpatched.zip and I love the look. Definitely an improvement from what I had. A couple questions about THAT though. First of all, the weather. It's a VERY nice feature. But unfortunately, it's not accurate. It says my city is like 26 degrees when it's like 80 today. If you need to know, my city is Providence and that's in the US. Unless there's another Providence city in the US and that's not mine. But there's only one to choose from.
Also, what's the difference between your BatteryStatusExt_Clock.1.05.CAB and the BatteryStatus I use from Chi-Tai or whatever?

change your degrees to Fahrenheit. you may need the home customizer for that, i'll post it.
as for batterystatus, it is from the same people, it is on their website, but you need that one in order to have the clock

I see. I'll be waiting for that Home Customizer then so I change to fahrenheit. I thought that might be the problem. I like the clock the way it is. So I guess I should keep the battery status I have already?
Also, what method did you use to remove the tray on the bottom? I thought it may be useful, but I don't think so anymore. I can always open stuff by the start menu or the launcher. As long as I can see the status of my battery on the today screen somewhere. Being able to lock it is useful too though. That way I don't accidently dial anybodys # and call them when my phone is in the carrier.
When the phones in landscape, the tray blocks what I have above it. I'd like to keep the appointments thing on the today screen.
i have configured the home plugin to just show the weather, is there anyway to remove the tab icon and the line that is below the city without disturbing the way that the plugin works?

not that i know of.
for getting rid of the tray, use a reg editor and find this
\HKLM\init\Launch92
delete the value TrayAp.exe and restart your phone, viola!
it's not letting me upload anymore. it just sits there. i'll try to figure it out.
any you can get rid of the tabs with the customizer but choosing the transparent buttons, but they look like a solid gray

Thanks for posting that man, appreciate it. I was searching for it (while you said you weren't able to get it uploaded), but I wasn't sure whether or not the ones I found were the same as the one you had. Obviously the one you have you used and it works, so I wanted to be sure I got the same exact one. Thanks again.

Im a bit lost, what does it offer over the diamonds tf3d besides a stock tab?
I dont understand why anyone wants this so badly. Anyways, at this point, if they really want this to shine on the pro/diamond, i suggest finding a way to remove top and bottom bars from the today screen and letting TF3D take over completely

U think that's what some people are tryin to do via resizing.
It have a nicer interface and more customization.
I think a lot of Diamond user will like to change to this one.

5 day weather forecast on the same weather tab is another plus.
Personally, the only benefit I see of the HD TF3D is the built-in customization. But I can use Advanced Config for that, so... Don't care for stock nor weather, but that's just me.
What I would really like though, is a real and integrated calender tab. I know I can add one, but that just bring up the days of month, you can't do anything with it (see/add appointments etc).

People Tab 4x5/5x5

Yo,
Anyone got a cab that edits the 'People Favorites' tab to be 4x5 or maybe even 5x5 rather than the standard 3x5?
Sorry if this is on the forum somewhere already... I have been searching through the forum and google for something to do this for the last 2 days but can't find anything on either. This is me giving up my search and hoping for one of you good people to help me out here :-D
Cheers

The image resolution has been already discussed... and solved. Try to search this forum. Basically, you need to put the images on your Leo (SD card, if you wish), because the import from Outlook is low res.
I am looking for that tweak too
About photo quality...I have photos on sd card and the quality after seelcting the photo for contact is the same
I have my pictures through Facebook and can't complain about res. Does no one know of a tweak for this? If not, anyone fancy making one? i would but really don't have the know how of where to even start let alone do it...
I think that it doesnt matter how you add photo to the contact, because on the computer the contact photos are in good quality, it is just how the phone shows them in people tab and when someone calls you...
I guess it is something about photo resizing and all these stuff which are involved in raster photos, sampling, resizing....I guess that phone doesnt know to do it better...
yes gimme that 5x5 contact tweek too
there are tweeks for 20x directlinks on homepage, and for 6-Row Icons on start menü page

Quick question about CHT 1.8

Just wondering if anyone knows how to get 2 seperate pages of quicklinks. I have my quicklink page set up and I can scroll horizontally both ways and get 2 more pages. But is there a way to make one of the extra space pages a seperate thing of quicklinks...... So I can have a total of 6 pages?
you might get a better response if you post this question on Cookie's thread.
I would have to say that's not possible based on my experience with CHT 1.8.
yep, I did, cant do it. DARN!

Yeah it looks like you can only do up to 5 pages. But that would be 125 if you do the 5x5 dont think you have that many apps installed and would use em all. I recently went to only two pages of 4x4 cus I just had a bunch of apps for the sake of having them. I never used them.

I only use one set of 4x4... Started with three, but like you, I was just filling in the boxes... I guess if you wanted to put contacts in there you could pretty much fill up as many as you want though.

How can I get rid for the Calendar on the home screen w/out themes?

Hello all, first post here *as a WM* user...
I got my HD2 last week, and I have installed some tweeks already, including running Android from the SD, but one thing is really bothering me; the Calendar on the home screen.
I'd really like to kill it, but from what I have found (yes, I searched lol), it looks like I will have to theme to do so. Honestly, I really like the Sense 2.5 look as it is stock, so I am not looking to completely redo it. I just want to remove the Calendar from the home screen, and if I could completely remove the top 3 quick links, that would be a bonus.
I did find this thread, which looks promising, but the files are not avail for DL anymore, and I am slightly confused about how to implement it anyway lol...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552153

In terms of the quicklinks, try Cookies home tab, I think you can remove them (you can change the number of them, so guessing you might be able to)
Defitinely definitely install Cookie, it adds next to no baggage to your phone but offers so much flexibility and customisation it's unreal....

I'll add it then. Will it adjust the stock theme? I do NOT want to get rid of the stock home clock/weather. I love it's animation lol...
No it shouldn't (altho it offers more choice for clocks) and it's easily uninstallable with no damage caused if you dislike it
Wow, CHT is awesome!
Thanks Guys!
Enjoy it! Fantastic mod for Sense!
