must you flash the rom in order to customize anything on the HD2?
I wonder if i could just customize the clock, sliding bar, and icons, make some transperancies?
I've clicked through atleast 3 pages but cant find a definite answer.
Thnx in advance.
no not at all. Go have a read in the themes and apps section of the regular hd2 section.

First job, check out co0kies home tabs.
its only roms and radios you have to be careful about, the regular apps and tweaks should all work on the tmous.
thnx very much

I was looking in a few other threads with screenshots and other examples and saw that many people had customized the line just below the Start button and just above the flip clock to say various things they wanted.
Mine just currently says 3G T-Mobile.
I apologize for such a newbie question, but how do you customize that? Can you customize it with a custom ROM? I'm on Elegancia 2.5 if that matters.
Thanks!
Never mind I'm an idiot
For those that come in here and want to know the same thing the app is the CHTEditor and comes on the ROM I already had
Yeah make sure you have the latest version of Cookie 1.7, even more customizations to be made.
Hello,
I was just wondering if there is a way to change the default 3 icons wide quick launch icons using the TMOUS stock rom? I've seen custom roms with 4 and I'm thinking this would suit me better but I dont really want to flash a custom rom until I find out more of what I want.
TIA.

One of the greatest projects to ever come out of XDA is "CoOkie's Home Tab Editor" (aka "CHT")...it will allow you to do all sorts of customization to the home tab on your stock ROM (and on many custom ones as well). It's a powerful tool, but dirt-simple to use. There's also an add-on known as "CoOkie's Home Tab Editor" which gives it even more functionality and flexibility. It's going to be the easiest way to make the kinds of changes you're wanting...links to the threads for both of those are below, and the screenshot shows the customizing I've done to my stock ROM, 90% of which was achieved with CHT and the editor...
CoOkie's Home Tab
CoOkie's Home Tab Editor
In the screenshot below, CHT/CHTE are responsible for the following:
-The location and layout of the quick link icons (you can have even more on the screen than that, if you want)
-The clock/weather size, style, and position
-The notification bar just below the clock...size and location as well
-The custom device (carrier) name just above the clock
And that's really just the tip of the iceberg with what you can do with it
Great advice. Works great. Many thanks.
After using this for a couple of days and getting all the apps where I want them, it would be amazing if we could do the same thing to our contacts instead of being limited to 15.

I have installed CHT and CHTEditor 1.7.11 and love the functionality that it adds, but one thing that I have lost is the ability to change the apps in the Home Tab itself. Does anyone else have this problem?

if you mean you can no longer apply quicklinks, you have probably ticked 'hide empty quicklinks'.
menu - cookies home tab editor - quicklink settings - hide empty quicklinks to off.
i am running dj_steves 1.5.1 and i was wondering about the following:
Is it possible:
to have the old feature from 1.6 when you press on the battery icon it gives you several toggles?
to get rid of the dropdown status bar (it is really annoying)
not make the icons adjust to the "snap" placement on the screen?
also is it possible to add more icons to the screen than the standard?

The answer for the first question (Black bar across top with drop down bar) is no. The framework has been changed in froyo so without the source code for dell's homescreen UI in 1.6 and 2.1, it can't be ported.
To add more icons to the screen, you're gonna have to use a different home screen launcher. With Dj_Steve's StreakDroid, ADW.Launcher and Launcher Pro are pre-installed.
I use ADW.Launcher and highly recommend it, you just need 30-45 min to sit down and go through all the settings to get it to how you want it.
To switch your default home screen, easiest way is to download "Home Switcher for Froyo" from the market.

I know that ive read heaps of info and it has confused me evan more.
Model X10i
Android version 2.3.3
Baseband 2.1.71
Kernel it wont let me post this question with this included
Build 3.0.1.G.0.75
All im looking for is a way to downgrade for handset back to Android 1.6 or to change the menu bar at the bottom of the screen back.
I know its probably ptretty basic but im lost. I just dont like the way it looks and prefered the 1.6 style.
Again Im sorry but im a technical idiot so a step by step guide is what Im looking for
I don't know how to do this, but I'm shocked anyone would want to...
1.6 was horrible, and most apps won't support it
Basicly, i hate the dark colour over the home bar at the bottom of the screen. I only use it as a phone with a few games. If someone can show me how to change the transparency of that bar that would fix the problem
why don't you just install a launcher? like adw launcher ex, there's a lot of themes for it and a lot of options to customize your home screen, dock, etc. also there's many custom roms as you can see at develop section, and not all of them are like you say, even some roms come with another launcher instead the SE homescreen
Hey everyone!
Does anyone know if the toolbar widget (the wifi/gps/etc toggle buttons in the dropdown menu) that comes with SGS3 stock rom is configurable?
I'd like to change which buttons are there, and the order of them, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings.
I tried searching for it in the forums and on google without success. Also, I'm hoping I'm posting in the right forum. If I'm not, feel free to move it.
Thanks!
It can't be customized via the stock interface. We'll have to wait for custom roms :/
It would be also nice to change the apps shown in the notification area when earphones are plugged in.
