Hi guys,
I was wondering if I could completely remove the Quick Links "Shortcuts" from the homescreen of HTC Sense. The Program icons it shows are very ugly and not optimized for the big size.
one easy would be to instal cookies home tabs along with cht editor.
this allows you change how many quicklinks you want (up to 75 in total I think) or alternatively leave them blank and use cht editor to "hide empty quicklinks"

CoOkie's Home Tab Editor is what you need as samsamuel posted, in combination with CHT Editor, you can make the large ugly Quick Links into 4 or 5 much smaller links, or hide them altogether.
I have attached a couple of pics for you to see how it looks.
The programe link is here, johncmolyneux's CHTEditor link is also in that post. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=

the home plugin is downloadable through the plugin, and as the title says it is fully customizable. You'll probably find that font/style here.
Below are icons that can be used pocket plus 4
Hope this helps

I posted the link above http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308 - where the HTC Home Customizer can be located. The HTC Home Customizer must be installed onto your device first. once installed, you will have the option of changing your HTC Home screen's theme/appearance, icons, clocks, even weather icons, but you must install first. Only through the HTC home customizer, you will be able to download that appearance.

i imported the iphone icons into the spb pocket plus icon folder but i cant use the icons..what am i doing wrong?
Those iphone icons were made for Pocket Plus 3. The PP4 format is a .dat file with separate files for the icons and masks. It won't work.
Also, the Vista icons posted here are not for VGA devices.

In relation to the Iphone icons, this conversion might work for those interested

For the vista icons, I was under the impression that the device used was qvga because VGA wasn't mentioned. .
I'm not sure where those are located, I guess the search goes on then.
Hope this helps
if your still looking for pocket plus 4 icons we're making ALOT of new sets over at spbclub.com check out the forum...
you wont be disappointed =)
The touch flow 3d programs tab uses the default crappy icons for the programs shortcuts, does any one know whether we can use our own slightly larger icons for these shortcuts?
Try TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab - I've installed them on the Touch HD and they work fine. Colour icons. Wish I knew who did them so I could attribute properly.
Edit: Oops. Too much haste reading your post. The above icons replace the TF3D tab icons, not those in the Programs tab.

This looks to be from the Diamond forum, does it include an icon for the Stocks tab??
It doesn't include a colour icon for the Stocks tab, so it still uses the original b/w one.
Overall, a very neat little upgrade!!

Yes, it works well sans the stock icon. I use this along with the NoTopCurtain and SemiTransparent_bottom_Bar and Pamas Transparent Slider. Provides a nicer look. Cheers.
Thanks AFW, have installed it and it looks much better than the original black.
regarding the topic of the thread, im not sure if its been discovered before but iv found a way to add your own icons in the programs.
Using resci registry editor or similur go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will notice that theres 23 folders in there
Now lets say you have atleast 1 program activated, the program details for that should be in folder "0", you will see in that folder that the path for the application is stated, you also notice that there is a string called "IconPath", put the path of the icon you want into that string and then save.
Move to a different tab (any other then programs) and then come back to the programs tab and you'l notice the icon has changed to your preference.
One slight issue is that the icons become really small, im looking into how that can be changed. Im asuming theres one of two solutions, either
1. Change the resolution of the icons
2. or set the size some how in the registry
(Im looking into it, and please post any findings you have in this thread)
Another discovery I made is that by copying one of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher and then pasting it back into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher with the next number 24 (there are only 23 folders, represeting 23 possible program links in the programs tab) and saving it, gives you another possible application link in the programs tab.
The only problem with that is when you select it and add an application it remains blank.
Hi..
I'm having some difficulties downloading this file. Is there an alternative download site or can someone kindly email it to me? Much appreciated.

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!

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.
Hi ladies and gentlemen,
is there a possibility to automatic sortings the shortcuts in the startmenu alphabetically - also after installing a new programm etc.?
Many thanks in advance.
Best regards
Mario
I would suggest using Co0kie Home Tabs since you can then have the following
1. Up to 25 quicklinks on each of 3 Home Screens.
2. You can drag and move them as you wish.
3. My favourite, make the Icons transparent.
4. Host of other options.
Alternatively you need to long press each icon to place at top of screen. Not much joy there!
thank you very much for your response, but i like to sort the starmenu not the hometab.
i already use CHT, and i really like it!
for sorting my starmenu i use JWMD Icon Changer, but i´ve to sort it manualy everytime something has changed.
so i´m looking for a regentry or something like this, so sort the icon automaticly.
best regards
mario
I hoping someone out there could help me out. I'm trying to figure the path from icon to application that the icons on the slider have. Some icons on the slider, (photos & videos, sprint navigation, etc..) when picked, take you to a different looking version of that application versus click on the icons in the programs list. What I'm trying to figure out is, where or how do I find what application the icons on the slider are linked to, by path or otherwise. If you could provide me with any help, I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Sense 2.5? Cookies Home Tab Editor allows you to change what applications launch with some of the slider tabs (along with a bunch of other awesome customizations).
You will need to have both Cookies Home Tab, and the Editor installed.

I'm not trying to change the applications that the slider icons open, I'm trying to find out the path that the slider icons have.
