Hello everybody
Does somebody knows why in my Task Manager :
- HTC Calendar icon,
- HTC Footprints icon,
- HTC Music icon,
- HTC People icon
are all the same & with such a boring graphic ?
Have you a solution to change them knowing that I'm a beginner ?
Thank you in advance for help.
PS : I did not find a way to include a screen shot as I do not have an URL.
There is an addon that does it, I had exactly the same. There is an icon pack you cause use to put it back to default, but after my last hard reset I can't seem to locate it for love nor money, sooo I have used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567080 and just Googled the images and resized and used them instead.
It's a bit long winded, but it's better than looking at those bloody white boxes.
Thank you Kalavere,
I will have a look at this thread
Is it possible somehow to make nicer icon when I am puting some web favorites on my homescreen ? On Menu - Add shortcut -... To be specific, I am sick of standard facebook app that came with the phone and I want to use m.facebook.com instead, when I make shortcut to this page on my homepage I get some ugly icon with really small FB icon of frontpage. Can I somehow put there real facebook icon ? Or at least 1x1 photo of the page that I want to go with this shortcut ? So my goal is to have nice icon, like Facebook widget has but in a way that this icon is starting m.facebook.com page, not preinstalled FB app. Is it possible and how ?
Tnx a lot
you can use better cut to create custom icons. You can also find different icon packs by searching for icon packs in market.
Tnx a lot, the app is not bad but can I see somewhere how do those icons in icon pack look !? Because there are at least 100 of packs there and I dont know how do they look or even do they have Facebook app ? How can I put icon for gsmarena.com page when there isnt one in those packs ? Can you please explain me if you know how. Can I cut the photo in browser or something ?
Tnx a lot
you basically just have to download the pack, and once installed look through it. Then uninstall if you don't want it. A bit of a pain, but the only way to do it, that I know of anyway. You can also read the reviews and go by that. Some comments are helpful, giving a brief description of the icons sometimes. There is also an option when using better cut to use your own pic, I haven't tried this, but I suppose if you had your own pic of an icon, you could use that.
Ok, tnx a lot, I guess that I will have to try some packs then. But this UI on this app is fugly...
I'm somewhat new to the UI customizing and need some help to get the desired effect, here's what i want to do, i want to keep the HTC Sense all contacts page, (only cause the functionality is amazing) the htc video and music player, the htc calender, and the HTC settings page (but for it to be set up like the manila windows settings), but i want the home screen to be the Manila Win6.5 screen. any and all help will be appreciated.

I think you're getting the terms confused a little there (which is understandable with this stuff). Manila is just the name for the behind-the-scenes elements of what you know as Sense, which runs on top of WM.
Unfortunately, all of the items you mentioned there are part of Sense, and while you can turn off most of the other tabs you don't want, you can't turn off the home tab without turning Sense off altogether...and when you do that, you then can't access any of the other Sense functions (vid/music players, calendar, settings, etc).
Okay, so is there and tweaks for WM that allow me to get the functionality like the mentioned features of the sense UI? or any that are better, cause as much as i love the SPB stuff, my dad uses it and i just wanna be different...or are there any tweaks for the sense UI that i can use to get what i want? because i kinda want plain WM homepage, but have the links on the homepage go to the parts of the sense UI? (i'll be happy to clarify anything i just said...

I noticed when I used the standard (titanium windows mobile) when I clicked on a few things they would go to the sence version of it but I dont think you can have both...search for titanium wm 6.5 themes and you might find something you like. Sense and SPB mobile shell are way different. Install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 in my opinion much nicer than SPB mobile and you can still use all your sense icons...search it on youtube for demos
I do like that one, and i know sense and SPB are real different, my dad uses it but i dont want to. D: BTW i got c0okies home tab that toreone suggested, and I LOVE IT! it gives me the freedom to customize it the way i want it, AND it keeps the functionality and the appearance of HTC sense. I <3 xda...

It's all clear, but that's the thing...aside from the messaging client in this build, there's no way to access the sense modules unless sense is running. And when sense is running, you can't access either the standard WM today screen, or the Titanium home screen (the new version of stock WM UI, also built in to your HD2).
Your next option would probably be to just find a 3rd-party app for each of the functions you mentioned...there's plenty of choices in each category, with the exception of the settings. For those, it's either the stock WM settings, or the sense settings, and it sounds like what you're asking for is kind of a hybrid of the two. Since the WM settings are available at the root of the start menu (if you don't have them there when you turn sense off, that can be added), that would be the easiest way to go with that. To find your options for media players and calendars, just do a search on the whole of the xda forums and you'll find a bunch. I don't know much about the calendar apps, but the most common media players in use around here include:
-nitrogen
-coreplayer/tcpmp
-kinoma
-pocket player
EDIT: in the time it took me to write all that, I see now that you've taken toreone's advice and found the joy of CHT...so it's probably a non-issue now anyways
DELETE: double post
haha! sorry, Is there a way to change the top bar (I forgot what it was called), cause the one that it currently has it a bit to basic for me. xD

It's called the taskbar, and the one at the bottom where the soft buttons are is just called the softkey bar, just fyi
You can change the color and style of both of those with something like what you'll find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5807605&postcount=1
Now, if what you want to change is the notification icon set that appears on the taskbar, there's a bunch of different options for that. I personally use and love dinik's anastasia set, found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679518
I've also used and liked brian's gfreek edition taskbar set, and the phoenix edition B&W taskbar set, at the links below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520547
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
So could i use the taskbar and softkey bar color changer along with the icon sets?

yes, those elements aren't interdependent like that. most any visual part of sense can be changed independently of the others...but not all though
Okay, cool, hmn... is there a tweak that will getrid of the t-mo startup animation but keep the windows one... found!

No problem! That's why this place exists, and also what's so great about it. Just pay it forward when you get the chance someday
Hey peeps,
I've been using hd2 for around 2months now and I love it. im still using the uk tmobile 1.72 stock version and im pretty content with it tbh
i love to customise, tweak and experiment there are endless possibilities thanks to the devs/chefs on this forum who will keep this dying breed of a device going for as long as possible.
forgive me for my stupid question but in regards with the windows mobile part of the device which is very ugly and boring are there any themes for a different layout? maybe just change the background colour ? or do i need to install a non stock ROM? im really happy with sense & touchflo3d which i think is fantastic
secondly i didnt want to ask this but im starting to pull my hair out, can anyone tell me how i go about changing the 'notes' program icon?? simply because i do not know where the program is located on the device? i can select it as a quicklink thats about it also im using jwmd icon changer
if you get a second to answer i appreciate it
go to settings -menu -all settings -today and choose a theme from the list.........
for your icon notes should be under office in jwmd......
hope that helps ......
Hi,, i am just wondering if its possible to completly change the app/icon pictures to something totaly differnt?
i have just rooted and flashed my phone with the leedroid rom.. and then a nice espresso mod style theme.. but it doesent change any icons as such...
I was wondering if its possible to get something like these shown on this thread in the HD2 forums... and if so is it a hard process to do?

cheers
You can use "FolderOrganizer Lite" to change the icons.
Thanks.. Does that come with any icon sets? Or if not what's the procedure for importing icons
.
Thanks for the advice .. )

I would suggest DesktopVirtualizer, it's much more user friendly and does the same job. You just add a widget called "desktopvirtualizer (SS)" and it let's you choose the application and the icon you want for it + custom text with custom color and background. I think either applications don't have any icon packs included.
do any of these automaticly change all my icons to a specific type in 1 click? ? or do i have to manualy select and change each and every icon ?
