Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

Can you explain a bit about this one rather than just post the cab please
You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.
It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

You can also take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632637
At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.
EDIT:
Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].
! It's in German.

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.

To be clear...are you talkign about the color of the clock tiles themselves, directly behind the letters? Or the background (wallpaper) on the home tab?
At first I thought you meant the border around the bottom half of the clock, where the weather shows up...but you shouldn't have that on a 6.1 ROM..
the two tone gray background of the clock itself, if it is at all possible without changing the clock numbers. I can swipe my finger "up" and then the numbers on the clock become smaller and the background goes away....thats what im after. and thanks for not railing on me, I may have alot of posts but 97% or more are questions lol but im getting better.

No problem What you're talking about is the clock tiles, and they are certainly replacable with custom ones. The trick is determining exactly what version of TF3D or Sense you have, you'll have to know that to know which custom clocks to look for and download.
Do you have an "About" entry on the "settings" tab? If so it'll tell you what version you have. If you don't see that there, you can just look it up in the registry (I'll show you where)...do you have a regedit app? (Total Commander, PHM_regedit, etc)
this is why i never delve too much into this stuff but am starting to. way too much stuff to keep up with while trying to run my own buisness, thanks for your help
I have winmo 6.1 CD OS 5.2.21052
I dont know what "sence" i have ....if any at all lol.
and all i want to do is make the clock tile transparent or just delete it if possible.

I dug around in some clock files and found this for you to try, there is no guarantee that it will work as i cant test it for you, but i looked at in with CFC gui and it looks promising!
It might be a good idea to back up the same file in your rom,
Untick manila in "home settings" then copy the file using TC or something
retick manila and it should show.
I hope it works for you

Ok yeah I have the same version as Tregrad (TF3D 2.1), and that manila file worked just fine on mine when I tested it...it makes the clock tiles 100% transparent.
However, getting that manila file into the right place on your phone takes a little doing...do you (Tregrad) know how to copy files into and out of your phone's /windows directory?
Maybe someone would be willing to cab that up for you to make it easier...but if not, we can show you how to get it on there and working.

You tested and it works ok? I can cab it up later ( i'm not on pc right now), where does it want to be? just straight into Windows folder? I would have cab'd it staight away but thought someone had better test it first!
so should i wait for the cab or what? or can i just drop the file in the windows directory? and thanks again for your help fellas.

if you can just drop in the windows folder, there's no real need for a cab just makes it more convenient is all! go ahead and try it out i'm dying to know if it works! See if you can find the matching file first and back it up though...I would
ok will give it a shot right now
no change at all hmmm copied orig file and put it in a folder on my pc and "replaced" existing file with the new one and rebooted but nothing happened.

Start...settings...today..items... will get you there
dont even have an option to untick manilla
Ok heres the Cab, sorry for the delay!!
there must be a tick box in "Items" Under today settings, and it will be Manila or TF3d or something HTC related! its been so long since i used this ROm i can't remember
So untick whatever it is and then install the cab then retick and it should have overwritten....Good Luck
ok tf3d is ticked, I am going to try the file thing first then if that doesnt work then i will try the cab, thanks.
nope, none of it worked. unticked, ran cab, wanted to restart - let it do so, restarted then re-ticked tf3d and nothing happened?
should i delete the existing file? if it isnt there then it wont want to run it right and since i just want it gone it wouldnt hurt right?
I have to go for now be back in a few hours. thanks again for all your efforts os!

I have a few apps I cant find lol. Coming from the tp2 there was an all programs tab that was easily accessible?
tap on the start menu, you'll have all the programs there. the last program would be on the very bottom, it doesn't sort them alphabetically.
Yeah I know about the start menu, im talking about every program on your phone alphabetically. On the tp2 it used to be a white screen with a long list of programs. All you had to do was tap all programs.
Thanks for the response.
I'm not sure if you're refering to the list of programs that the file explorer generates. It only has the folders of the programs installed. You may open the file explorer and go to Programs folder in your device or on your storage card. The folders are arranged alphabetically.
Sorry, if I'm not so clear about your concern as I know nothing about TP2.

Dukins, I don't have my HD2 yet so I can't look for it on there, but I do know that if it exists on the phone you'll have to be running Sense to get to it....so, if you've turned Sense off (to run SPB Mobile Shell or anything similar, etc), you'll need to run Sense to get that programs list.
Now, if that doesn't help you get to it, I hope somebody can point you/us to it, because I'll want to know how to find it as soon as I get my HD2

I see. I just got my HD2 last week but as far as I know, there is no such thing in it. The only one it has is the Start Menu that has all the programs, albeit not in list form but in hexagon-pattern listing, and not in alphabetic order.

Yeah that's the same in sense 2.1 (on my TP2)...that list appears when you're adding a quick link, it's just odd that they seem to have removed direct access to it in sense 2.5. I'm sure that's a comment lament among users of 2.5 on all platforms, at least among those who had used it at some point before.

If you have installed the Touch Tools app I have mentioned to you before. Then just use itcto set your touch sesativity higher or lower, justcpokecaround some with the app you will see it is well worth installing. It gives you so much control over your HD2 using Windows Mobile.

hi, t-mac. i went into the settings of touch tools 2.0. but i dont see any features that provide touch sensitivity. i did see, 'start menu icons per row', 'menu bar font size,' 'minimum tap time,' etc. but, i dont see any specific feature for touch screen.
also, i installed, 'co0kie's home tab' that installs 4 icon quick links instead of 3 in the home screen. i dont like it. i want the original 3 quick links back. but theres no way to get that back. the 'edit lock screen layout' feature is greyed out. i like the program's feature that lets you scroll across to give you more quick links, though. is there a way to keep this feature while getting the 3 quick links back? and how do i ungrey the 'edit lock screen layout' feature?

Ok, i flashed a NAND rom. I customized my home screen using launcher pro, and GO launcher, and minimalistic. Now i only need to customize the lockscreen.
Now i know this must be floating around the forum somewhere or the other. I found a thread about the Hero but not about HD2. Either the search system at XDA sucks, or i don't know how to search.
Anywayz, I want to know how to customize the lockscreen completely to my choice, with my wallpaper, lock style and what not.
I am currentyl running Hyperdroid GBX v12.
Thanks in advance for any help!
