I like a look of my stock tp2 (with WinMo 6.5) but there are 2 things I would like to change:
1. When I tap start I don’t want my background to change to something predefined.
2. To change the experience of clock i.e. transparent background with white numbers.
Can somebody direct me where to look?

1. Open Windows Pictures & Videos program, find the picture you want as your Start Menu Background, Once you found the one you want click and open it, then click on the menu button, then there will be an option to "Set as Home Background" select it and follow the prompts and your all done
2. As far as this goes, this requires some various mods and tweaks...not sure exactly what you are asking for...but this depends on what your phone is running and that tells you what mods you can install...do some searching and reading
acidbath5546, thank you for a fast reply.
Well, I would like clock like this one in attachment, with weather forecast of course. I hope that changing clock won’t require flashing the phone.
My phone is running stock Win 6.5 rom. The phone is 1 weak old.... I trayed reading and searching..but in every theme there are 50 + pages of posts...Hard to find explanation, when i dont understand even a term "manila", as far as i'm concerned Manila is the capital of the Philippines.
Im not afraid of tweeking, but only if i know what im looking for.

LOL...Not a problem man
We were all afraid of tweaking at one point.
From what you said you are looking for a clock that also has the weather update inside of it. That is found only in custom ROMS.
It is a version of TouchFlo3D that is called "Sense 2.1 or Sense 2.5" you will also see it said as "Manila 2.1 w/Sense and 2.5".
If you want a good place to read about all this stuff, there is a great site/blog that has everything in one central place, it helped me a lot back when I had an HTC Fuze, and there is one just for the HTC TP2
See here:
http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
So if you really really wanted that clock and some cooler stuff, you would have to flash a "Custom ROM".
If you need any more help or want my opinion feel free to send me a private message/PM and I will help if I can.
acidbath5546, you wouldnt belive how helpfull your answer was!
Thank you very much!!!!

As far as your PM about how to find your Manila Version....
I dont really remember that much about your Stock/Regular version, been awhile since I used it.
But if you slide you slider all the way to the settings tab, there should be a selection that says "About Phone" or software info or something like that, that you can click on.
But after seeing your ROM version you sent me, you have an older/standat version of regular Manila 2.1, NOT SENSE manila 2.1, which is what you are looking for, with the weather forecast clock and what not....

Hi guys, i've searched High and low to get the Sprint clock on my fone, i installed TF3d config, but nothin seems to change, i install skins, reset fone and when i swithch it back on, i still get that flip clock, which ahs strted 2 annoy me now. lol
Can anyone tell me how i can change the clock without TF3d Config, or how i can atleast get TF3d to work.
I have the HTC Diamon
Rom Ver: 1.34
Where am i goin wrong.....I NEED THAT CLOCK.
Have u tried the Sprint Clock cab file?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2690232#post2690232
do it like this...
copy the cab file to your phone...
Then click Start->Settings->Today->Objects->Uncheck TouchFLO 3D->Press ok
run the cab file to install the Sprint clock
Maybe it says you need to restart phone, you dont need to but u can do it if it ask u too...
Then click Start->Settings->Today->Objects->check TouchFLO 3D->Press ok
Now u should have the sprint clock
Sprint Clock
Thanks for your response mate, ur great!!!
I installed the clock, and it looks sexy.....But!!,
It freezes the scrolling option through the icons, i cannot use my finger to scroll from home to contacts to messages, nothing can be selected, it just freezes on the home page and the clock time doesn't change. How do i install it so it works perfectly.
Thanks in advance for any assistance guys.
Same problem here (TF3D freezes when I tap a tab instead of scrolling to it). Anyone else experiencing this? It started after I installed the Sprint clock.
Anyone have the sprint icons? LOVE THEM, i just can't find them

Hi im a little confused on how to use this app....where do i navigate the application to? Because when i connect the diamond via active syn it does not display the windows folder...thanks.
Apologies for the bump, but I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the frequent freezes with both the Sprint clock on the regular TF3D and the Sprint TF3D? (ROM: Elite 2.0) Anyone found any solutions yet?
Solution found
Hey White Pawn, i found a solution but it involves flashing your diamond, so be very careful, and think if it's wrth it, i done it and was very happily enjoyin the sprint theme till i got bored. Flash ur Device to rom 1.93 i believe and the rest, then install TF3D config and change the theme. Some have been warned not to use TF3D on their Devices, so be warned also, i did it and it worked fine for me, but it may have different results fr u.

o.k so maybe your trying to be quick and clever but in the process your coming off a bit silly. Read what you've typed, and now repeat the words fone and phone back to yourself, they both sound the same phonetically, So I believe what you have a problem with, is the way in which the word phone was spelt, NOT how it sounds, because there is no difference. Try again teacher. LOL, LOL. This is my first and final response on this very trivial matter, i don't even understand why you felt the need to even comment.
I like the phone, but i think it really needs some adjustements.
what im looking for is:
-a way to change the background while using tf3
-a way to change the icons on the top bar (as ive seen in some pics)
-a way to change stuff on the today screen
-any app that improves how the phone looks/feels
if someone could help me out either with a very easy guide or link i would appriciate it, but keep in mind that ive tried sick many hours and failed. so its gotta be easy..
100d reward if im allowed to offer that.
hang on here a minute. can you explain this a bit more clearly.
1. background, are you wanting to change just the first tab or all tabs?
2. Topbar, Are you wanting 1 already made or to do this yourself? for already made just visit the themes and apps forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474 but i would recommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132. If you want to make your own the guide is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=588802
3. The today screen is easy just go in to the today settings!!
4. Look and feel, HD Tweak is very good and found that this does work to improve the feel. I would also recommend a custom ROM for the final touch. Dutty is the man to see for these as far as i'm concerned.
-I would like a background for all tabs.
-Want 1 already made, probably wont be able to make 1 myself.
-Is it that simple? like I was thinking about some drastic changes like removing the calendar thing. anyway its not as imprtant as background and the bar.
HD Tweak is the 1 app i currently have, im also very happy with it.
what is a custom ROM? and is it easy to install etc?

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)

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.

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!

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...

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....

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!
Noticed this after updating to official WWE 3.14.
The Alarm Clock shortcut on the Home Tab stops working with the Vovichek cab installed.
This is a real pain cos I really would like more than the stock 9 quick-links, so if anyone knows a fix for this, or another simple method (reg-hack) to increase quick-links it would be great.
I've already tried Co0kie.HomeTab_v2.0.0.cab, but do not want the other stuff it installs.
Thanks.

Go to the link below and check out #22 in the list I think this is what you are looking for.
A little looking around on your own would have found this though as this is a stickie in the HD2 Windows Mobile Q&A and General forum.
That cab has been around for a looong loooong time and was created from an outdated version of manila which is probably why its causing issues.
I recall having problems with that cab myself a while ago. If you find after uninstalling it that your alarm still does not work, you may need to hard reset.
The tip suggested by T-Macgnolia should solve your problem though.
If not, even though you may not like the way CHT makes your home screen look by default, it is possible to change the settings to make your home screen look completely like a stock rom but with more quicklinks.
Personally I cant understand how anyone can use manila without CHT
Thats just me though.... Im a fanboy
