Show Us your X1 Homescreen

Since there has been so many new ROM and UI releases for the X1 I thought I'd restart a thread where each user can show off a screenshot of their homescreen set up.
Hopefully it will get people asking 'oooh that's nice how did you do that?'
So Here's mine to start with:
I'm Using Jack's ROM 3.3. I've removed the curtains top and bottom and personalised it.
I took a random Noir-ish background and colourised it blue. (To match the Blue SE start logo)
All my highlights are blue too, and I added the X Icons pack.
Finally I installed the analogue and digital clock.
Please post your setups (But don't over post just because you've changed the background or added a new 3D scene ;-)

Very nice!

No that IS the one I used (You use the analogue clock for Dutt's ROM) and it works on Jacks

Diamond 2 and skins

Hi everyone
Can anyone tell me if it is posibble to change the skins on the diamond2 (the newest model).
What kind of program will i need?
i have downloaded the program from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and want to use the skins in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
Can i do this om my diamond 2?
If not can someone please tell this newbey how i can change my skins on the htc diamond 2
Thank you so much

hi,
no you can't because the skins you pointed out are for TF2D (manila2D) only.
Nevertheless it's possible to change the skin : choose TF3D2.1 skins for your Diam2
The best is to install themes cabs : copy the cab to your ppc then click on it with your explorer (total commander by example) to install it and soft reset (reboot)

Well thank you very much for your reply!
I typt tf3d2.1 in the search field here on the site but i did not find any files.
Can you point me in the right direction? where can i find that kind of themes?
Thank you again

hi,
First of all your Diam2 (topaz) is WVGA (480x800px screen) so you have to verify in thread title if the theme is really made for WVGA screens.
Second, your UI is called TF3D2.1 (or manila 2.1) here on XDA : that means you can install full themes made for TF3D2.1 or icons only (from bottom bar) made for TF3D (the first diamond or Blackstone). The best is to try different themes because there is no general rules : some icons sets will work but others won't
The last version TF3D2.5 from LEO device (manila2.5) won't work with your Diam2 stock rom.
there are different ways to get skins for your Diam2 :
- into the dedicated Topaz section : HERE (this one was made especially for your Diam2 so all the stuffs you'll find into this section will work on your Diam2)
- Into general dev&hack section you have the windows themes : HERE
(this is general section so all the themes in this section won't work : verify WVGA TF3D2.1)
- the most important skins databases for TF3D are for Diamond1 (HERE) & HD-Blackstone section (HERE) (because they are older than your D2)
By example, these ones should work on your Diam2 :
- Snoopy
(choose WVGA, don't install VGA or manila2.5 cabs)
- Dusk for manila2.1
- Coquette
- Vector
- my TF3D icons HERE
BTW skins & themes are mentioned by [SKN] or [THE] for a better readability in thread title
One last thing : never install a theme cab on a previous one, always remove old theme cab before installing a new one ^^

Hi thank you again for your reply you made me a happy woman haha
Tonight (its 10 a.m. here) i gonna to install your black icons on my diamond 2
You made what was gibberish for me a normal language thank you so much

I really liked your black vi.7 icons. I downloaded the file and i am gonna install it tonight!
I let you know if it worked! and i am gonna add a thanks on your thread ofcourse

Can i also instal the v2.2 icons? i liked those evenmore

Yes, all my SenseLIKE TF3D icons work with TF3D1/TF3D2.1

well i got something strange it does not fully work on my diamond
How i installed it..
i installed the cab on my memory card. then i installed the program and turned my telephone off and on.. and i tryed to soft reset it.
Is this the right way to install it?
The problem is that the first icon stays in color and the pictures of the icons do not fully fit in the icons. you can not see the full icon.

Do you have the new TF3D2.1 Sense (weather clock) ?

uhmm i have windows 6.5 with the newest rom update from the htc website. the rom update that change the colors the icons. And i do have the weather clock.

oh and maybe good to know.. i have diamond tweak installed on my phone

cant see to get the m mobiler working 2 :s

got the mobiler working but the front is not fully showing.. i hope you got the idea..
you can see the top of the icons
i attatched a print screen

it seems like the icons are to big for the slide bar

hi,
thanks for the screenshot : I can see your issue now ^^

thanks again! gonna try it tonight..
Hope it works!
Ill let you know

yes i worked
Looks so nice!!!
Thank you so much!
Now im gonna try to figure out if i can change that green color that you see in the phone. that little green ball wich tell you how much emails you got and in the organizer.. really dont like the green color..
Well anyway you helped me solve my problem with the colored icons!!
Many many thanks

if you know the answer to my question can you tell me how :$
All most afraid to ask haha you helpt me already so much..

hi,
Well, for Email bubble notification, the most important collection to my knowledge is the one made by CMYLXGO at PPCGeeks : HERE
To change green highlights to blue you can take a look at DJCedric or Henk2484 BlueHighlights

Customizing apearance of TF3D

Hi,
Recently I have bought my new Topaz and I run original WM 6.5 ROM without any mods or custom staff. I saw here in the forum some really nice customizations but I am totaly confused about how to install them or what do i need to do berfore I can install them. I read here about custom ROMs and other things but I'm not so hurry to do that stuff because I consider it as a big hit to the phone. In fact I want only some graphical enchantments to the TF3D like transparent bars and coloured icons in top bar (like the battery icon would be coloured and showing how many % of energy remain) and if it is possible I saw shortcuts to some apps below the clock in the home page.
So is it necessary to flash a new ROM or is it possible to do it on the stock one? Is it related to the version of manila? (I tried to get version of my manila but i really can't find that information - I looked into settings but I didn't see it there)
Any help would be much appreciated,
thanks

try having a read of this thread:

this is currently not possible for TouchFlo3D/Sense 2.1 users...but one of the developers here is currently working on a project that may just provide that shortly...so keep checking on that.

Thank you, that taskbar is exactly what I was looking for.
And about that transparency, I have tried WallHD but it looks like it is not making bars transparent but it changes them with a new picture which means that if you open an application with bars, you'll not have them black but a part of your background picture and I don't like that.
I'll also try to find transparent slider but I didn't have time to do a big search
But the biggest problem is that I really can't find my exact version of Manila. It should be written in settings -> about but I don't have it there. Then I read that in newer versions it is located in settings -> all settings -> system -> device information -> software tab. There's nothing too, I don't even have a software tab.
BTW My phone came with Win 6.5 preinstalled (maybe this will smehow help). Can you please give me some advice what to do, if there is any soft that can somehow get it for me?
Thanks

Hi Tommy
Glad the link was of assistance. Re. finding your Manila version details I have to say that I suffered from a similar issue. In the end it was solved as a by product of installing what is IMHO a must have app; TD2 Tools. Installing this application (which is freeware but I reckon is well worth a donation) provides access to a number of features not available through the stock interface and also Manila and other device information that is useful.
Take a look at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410
It is a large thread but the download link is on the 1st page and yo can get a view of what it does by covering the first few pages. having said that the best way is to install and review.
So far the current release has provide to be very stable...for me at least.
Enjoy!

Oh, thanks, I had that app already but I didn't notice that it is writen there. Finaly my searching for manila is in the end
And I agree it is a must have app

Homescreen mods

I'm after the following mods if it's poss, i'm just getting round to making the phone look nice and i don't know where to start being a complete novice at this.
i want to:
1). loose the border around the text under the tabs in cookies home tab app
2). loose the border around the bit where it says calender, alarm and date on the home screen
3). loose the border around the clock
4). make the wallpaper fill the whole screen i.e so it gets behind and looses the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen
5). get some better icons for the task bar at the top
any pointers would be cool

Try Cookie's Home Tab Editor (made by johncmolyneux) and HDWall for complete HD Wallpapers. You can also try MaxManila to customize the look of your homescreen.
Also look for CSMI (Customize Start Menu Icons) and transparent sliders and such. Just search the themes ans apps forum and you will get a lot of hits to these threads. Good luck and Happy hacking!

2. AntonioMistretta has a cab posted somewhere in HD2 themes and apps that does this... think it is called calendar transparent.cab
4. you need HDwall with HQwallpaper patch to achieve this... search for the HDwall thread created by dragonsoft.

i did see that post but didn't notice the link to install hdwall, thanks.
1 last question whil ei have your attention mate, the patch in the above post is for manila 2.5.1920 mine is 1921, does that matter or is it the 2.5 that is the important bit?

im not sure as i dont use it myself. i think you will be ok though... problems would probably arise if you manila version is anything above 1921.

Best HD2 Sense Sliders ? Recommend yours

I've had the Dinik 1.7 so far and it was great, but no ereader support..
Now I am looking for replacement... The forum search doesn't bring much sliders, as most are stuck inside theme threads etc as an add-on so it's hard to find all...
Recommend a good slider ! (Could be GTX style, regular styles.. everything works)
Thanks !

gtx sliders, black or white are doing it for me right now, should pop up in a search, or for a bit of colour try rawrscarys neon sliders, theres a link in my sig. a good place to find things like sliders is the post your today screen thread, find one you like and see if that person will share it/ provide a link....
hope that helps....
