I don't find any option to do so, but since I selected a custom wallpaper, the home screen is extremely slow. How do I revert to default?
Thanks

Go to settings tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and then select weather wallpaper for default
or
Go to settings tab > Personalize > Lock screen wallpaper and it will ask you if you want to use default
Thank you, but I have already tried this. If I click on "Weather wallpaper" I am taken to a select image dialog, exactly as if I had clicked on "Animated wallpaper". Should I think of a bug in the ROM (Xannytech)?

Actually I never noticed that before but you can still restore default by clicking on Weather wallpaper > albums > my device > my wallpapers and default wallpaper should be one of these
Ciao
I have the same problem...
And since I've used HD Wall to change the wallpapers on all of the tabs, I can't use your suggested solution to get back to the "default" wallpaper, which is no longer the regular default wallpaper but the one I made with HD Wall!
Any other ideas?
for me, i had to clear the values stored in the CachedBackgroundPath and HomeBackgroundPath registry entries, both of which are located under the key HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila. once cleared, i soft reset my device and the default wallpapers appeared again. hopefully this isn't the only/best method.

Thank you so much!
Eventhough this is not the easiest method, atleast it's a solution!

TY, saved my day
Another way - the default wallpapers are stored in \Windows and are named stwater_480_800 and stwater_800_480 ( for landscape). You can copy the first one to your Wallpapers folder and select it there.

Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks
You can use a program called IconChanger, it can place the icons where you want in the gridlist. Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080.
When you open the program you just press MENU and Sort Current Items or something like that. Now you will see a list with all the names right, the first 3 is the first line in the startmenu and then the 3 following is the 2nd line and so on.
Thank you for your reply. But can you change the wallpaper for the honeycomb as well?
Yes you can, go to settings/today and disable TF3D, then go to pictures & videos (or album, I'm not sure which one) and find the wallpaper you want, tap and hold it till you get a list, chose "use this wallpaper as background" or something like that, set the transperency to 0% and you're ready to go.
And btw, go to settings and re-enable TF3D of course
In the later versions of WM, you can actually drag and drop the start menu icons around without the need of a 3rd party app.
Most WM6.5.1 roms will support this but WM6.5 does not.

Hi Guys,
I'm having a little problem with my phone. After a lot of tweaking yesterday, I finally had my phone working perfectly. In a final change, I just tried to change the lockscreen wallpaper to a custom picture. I'm not sure what happened but, on restarting the phone, I'm getting:
'unable to start HTC Sense, tap here to try again'
and obviously can't get back to the home screen to change the wallpaper back via the sense settings although I can navigate the regular settings menu via the start tab and Sense is ticked in the settings. I've gone to the gallery and deleted the picture I assigned to the wallpaper but it's still showing when I restart the device.
Now, as I said, I've added a lot of cabs and made a lot of reg-tweaks and would really prefer not to do a hard reset if I can help it and have to do them all again. I changed the font on the device yesterday and don't know if that is related to the problem but I navaigated through the settings and removed that cab but still no joy.
Any help would be great, more specifically if I can restore the phone to earlier settings or maybe change the lockscreen wallpaper via the registry?
Thanks in advance
I don't know if this will work but try, windows, settings, (menu - all settings), today and unclick use this wallpaper as a background. You can also tab across and untick HTC sence and try restartng your phone
Thanks for the tip. I just ended up hard resetting anyway and everything's working ok now. I tried unticking sense but no joy.
Thanks
I think I've found the solution (at least before hardresetting):
Goto KHEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC
Just delete the key MANILA (back up to a file before you delete if you want)
Reset
Title says it..
I have Manila 2.1 and I don't see the option to change the background for the start menu and lockscreen anywhere.
I know it's possible under settings/all settings/today - select - Use this as background: browse.. but it won't list any pictures. Only certain resolutions? Or file type?
Maybe there's a registry key?
Thanks.

Should be under settings tab in manila under personalize.
Nope, that's a manila 2.5 feature.
Its been awhile.
Check out Auto Wallpaper Changer.
Changes Lock screen, S2U2 and Home.

Hi.
open up start menu,and find "pictures & videos", (not "album"). open that and find the pic u want as the background. open the picture and select menu(bottom right) and choose "set as today background",and accept.this should change the background on the start menu and the lock screen background....well that is how i do it. Hope it helps.
hi all,
i have already researched this but havent found a solution..
im trying to have a different lockscreen wallpaper to my start menu
If you go to the Settings tab: Personalize, there are two wallpaper options.
Home Tab Wallpaper
Lock Screen Wallpaper
If you go to the "All Settings" and select the "Today" at the bottom is a Check Box:
"Use this picture as the background"
And you can browse for an image.
If you actually tried to use these three settings, you will find that the setting in the "use this picture as the background" is the same as the setting for the Lock Screen Wallpaper. Which is the same as the Start Menu. The Home tab, is part of HTC Sense, and is different than the other two. I want two different background images for the "Start Menu" and the "Lock Screen". Thus, equating to Three Total different backgrounds.
HELP!
not 100% sure, but i think what you desire is possible.
i think a file called "LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr" (for landscape) and "LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr" (for portrait) located in the \Windows folder contains a reference to a wallpaper file. i think if you change this reference (AFTER setting start menu and home screen wallpapers), you might be able to get a different lock screen wallpaper. i'm not certain if the mentioned files are actually "active" because i've noticed quite a few more files in my \Windows folder that might be the "active" files such as "htc_LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr" and "htc_LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr"
i seem to recall reading about CPR files and how they can be edited to achieve various styles of lock screen, incoming call screen (if using native WM dialer) and in call screen (if using native WM dialer), and alarm screen (if using native WM alarm application). so in case my suggestion doesn't work, try searching about CPR files and how to edit them and what each one is meant for.
finally, if you notice my signature, i played with lock screens about a year ago and i wrote a thread about it...so all of the above is the little bit that i remember from my experience earlier. i believe there is also an editor (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=525499) that can ease the process of making advanced changes in CPR files.
let us know if any of the above helps. if it does, why not post here with a tutorial? good luck!
Ok, Newbie here. I have the Energy Sense ROM on my TMO HD2 and I have searched but no luck at finding what all I need for the HD Walls. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you sure that ROM doesn't have Cookie's Home Tab (CHT) baked in? If it does, you don't need HDWall beacuse that functionality is included in CHT's latest version.
If the ROM doesn't have that already, I'd recommend you just getting CHT anyway, it incorporates HDWall's methods, among others, and is a great tool to have around in general.
I used to use HDWall by itself all the time, but it's fairly complicated, and it's so much easier now just to use CHT to get the same effect.
ya its got the latest cht already. i kinda thought that but wasnt sure.so what else do i need to create wallpapers? is there a cab for the program i need on the desktop? sorry for the lack of knowledge, just couldnt find anything on it.

Check out the CHT thread, there's info there on the different ways you can do that, it's done through the CHT interface.
EDIT: Here's the link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
You'll also want to check out the companion tool for that, Cookie's Home Tab Editor (CHTE). You probably have that as well on your ROM, it extends the functionality of CHT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590
Thanks! Now I just need to find the program for my desktop to create the wallpaper and create a cab file right? If so where can I find these at? If I overlooked it my apologies.

No, you don't even have to do that, you just need to have the image you want to use saved on your phone somewhere (like in a "wallpapers" folder on your SD card, for example), and then you use the options in CHT to choose that image and apply it as the background on your phone. CHT will apply it on all tabs, and even skin the top and bottom bars for you, like HDWall would do.
I switched from using HDwalls to strictly CHT a while ago. It is much less problematic and easier to change wallpapers.
I don't suggest keeping your wallpaper in your SD card but copy it to the "wallpapers" folder in my documents. If you have it plugged into your computer (i do a lot) and reboot the phone it won't find the wallpaper on your SD card as it can't see the SD card because it it plugged in. Yeah, clear as mud.. anyway.

Very good point decim8, and I hadn't though of that...I had assumed that it cached the final wallpaper somewhere on the phone, but it's probably true that having it on the SD card will prevent the image from being usable whenever you're connected in disk drive mode to a pc over usb.
ok, I think Im a retard. I open CHTE and switch to HD wallpaper, reset the phone. I have saved the photo I want under the wallpaper folder on the device, and cant seem to figure out how to set it. The set wallpaper option goes away once I set it to HD and when I go to the photo and try and set it to the wallpaper the only option is todays background and I only see it when Im in the start menu. All tabs are black background and cant change to anything else.
From your home screen...
Hit the Menu soft key and then Set Wallpaper at the top.
Under the Home Tab section, tap the first thing, Portrait... and browse to the location you saved the image. Repeat as needed for the other sections.
Worst case, hit Albums, All...
It doesnt give me the option to set the wallpaper from my home screen (not able to be selected). It is an optoon when Im not trying to use HD though.
Sounds to me like you still have HDWall selected in CHTE.
Select Menu (soft key at bottom of home screen)
Select Co0kie's Home Tab Editor
Select Miscellaneous settings
Scroll down to the "wallpaper Mode" section. "HQ Wallpaper" should be selected, not "HDWall"
Please double check that this is the case. With this option selected you should be able to select "set wallpaper" with the Menu softkey.
EDIT: I have landscape on my home screen enabled via BSB tweaks and "set wallpaper" is not available from the menu when in landscape mode. Works fine in portrait.
Thanks!!!!!!! See I told you I was a retard. I did have HD selected instead oft the HQ like I should have. Thanks for all the help
Edit: The wallpaper is working correctly BUT when I try to set the Skin Taskbar and Softkey bar it gives me an error. Says "Out of Memory Exception"? The phone is no where near out of memory. I cant win for losing.
