*thanks to all the authors of these cabs.

[edit] i guess i should post the theme for batterystatus and give some instructions for that. you also need glossy black bars.exe for the black 6.1 theme to not b greyish. i had a LONG day so i'll post that stuff tomorrow

i got like 5 PMs asking for them, but since i can't figure out how to use attachments in PMs i figured i'd just post them here.

Thanks for the SoftKey changer. That's a big plus. I wanted to change the left softkey since i've had the wing.

I was able to install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.weatherpatched.zip and I love the look. Definitely an improvement from what I had. A couple questions about THAT though. First of all, the weather. It's a VERY nice feature. But unfortunately, it's not accurate. It says my city is like 26 degrees when it's like 80 today. If you need to know, my city is Providence and that's in the US. Unless there's another Providence city in the US and that's not mine. But there's only one to choose from.
Also, what's the difference between your BatteryStatusExt_Clock.1.05.CAB and the BatteryStatus I use from Chi-Tai or whatever?

change your degrees to Fahrenheit. you may need the home customizer for that, i'll post it.
as for batterystatus, it is from the same people, it is on their website, but you need that one in order to have the clock

I see. I'll be waiting for that Home Customizer then so I change to fahrenheit. I thought that might be the problem. I like the clock the way it is. So I guess I should keep the battery status I have already?
Also, what method did you use to remove the tray on the bottom? I thought it may be useful, but I don't think so anymore. I can always open stuff by the start menu or the launcher. As long as I can see the status of my battery on the today screen somewhere. Being able to lock it is useful too though. That way I don't accidently dial anybodys # and call them when my phone is in the carrier.
When the phones in landscape, the tray blocks what I have above it. I'd like to keep the appointments thing on the today screen.

i have configured the home plugin to just show the weather, is there anyway to remove the tab icon and the line that is below the city without disturbing the way that the plugin works?

not that i know of.
for getting rid of the tray, use a reg editor and find this
\HKLM\init\Launch92
delete the value TrayAp.exe and restart your phone, viola!
it's not letting me upload anymore. it just sits there. i'll try to figure it out.
any you can get rid of the tabs with the customizer but choosing the transparent buttons, but they look like a solid gray

Iphone like interface ?
I was told by a friend that he believes that he heard of a cab that will do what the ipone can do as far as with the touch screen. I have tried touch commander. But its not what I'm looking for... Please help

Go to search up top right below where it says "Private Messages" and type in like "iphone look" or something. You'll find what you want.

finally! had to post the zip though

i suggest everyone just go here
http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html
as what i have posted is from like october 2007 and the new stuff is from march 2008

Thanks for posting that man, appreciate it. I was searching for it (while you said you weren't able to get it uploaded), but I wasn't sure whether or not the ones I found were the same as the one you had. Obviously the one you have you used and it works, so I wanted to be sure I got the same exact one. Thanks again.

WM6.5 Clock

Hey there all you themers and skinners out there,
Is there a way to change just the clock panel in a WM6.5 theme without having to create a whole new theme? Like, can I just replace some files, and maybe deselect/select the theme again, and the clock will change? I'm looking for just some big bold numbers without that obnoxious analog icon that doesn't change. Or, if there's an analog clock panel that DOES change, that would work too.
I liked the clock look in Ivan's JustHome, but I just recently (today) switched to StripTease: Lots to Love, which has the classic black theme. I like everything in that theme (and the ROM) except that analog clock.
Any tips?
Thanks.

Just use M2DC. Go to the "Home xml" tab and deselect analog clock and make sure digital clock is selected.

Is M2DC a resource hog? I'm already under 20MB at startup with the other crap I installed on this ROM.

Not really, it just changes a couple things in the files, you don't have to run it in the background.
Besides, you can't really use a Manila2D ROM and then complain about free RAM. There aren't really any M2D ROMs out there with more than 22mb free on a fresh flash. If you want alot of RAM, you have to sacrifice Manila altogether and just go with Titanium.

Yeah, I guess that becomes the question then. Right now I'm using Titanium (StripTease: Lots to Love) and enjoying it aside from the clock (which I realize is being very nitpicky). Further research yesterday showed me that I should have shifted my focus from finding panels to finding plug-ins. I tried two (CAnalog Clock and CDigiClock), both of which seemed to slow my phone down more than the regular clock, but I discovered last night that CAnalog Clock didn't completely uninstall and was still in Windows/StartUp. It could have been that parts of it were still being loaded along with CDigiClock. I removed all parts of CAnalog I could find, and am going to give CDigiClock another shot today.
Does anyone else use a different Titanium clock plug-in?

OMFG. I don't know what the heck is wrong with me the last couple days. For some stupid reason I was thinking that Lots to Love was a manila2d ROM and not Titanium. Sorry for that
Um, did you try the CHeroClock? I'm not sure if that's the same thing as CDigiClock or not, but I can tell you the reason they all make your phone slower is probably because they run on MortScript, which is most likely installed from the clock cab. There's not alot you can do about it besides keep track of your memory and overclock your phone. The only other way to change it is to do some pretty heavy cpr and xml editing that is way beyond my skill level.

I think CDigiClock is the same as CHeroClock, but I'll give it a shot just in case. And yeah, MorScript is correct. I've overclocked to 240, and I'm definitely not ready for CPR editing. XML maybe. But probably not.
Thanks for the info.

[REQ] More quick links!!

I'm suprised not to find a request for this when searching. I need to increase the number of quick links on the Sense home tab. I've just used my last one and need some more.
Can anyone help with this?
Edit: Probably worth mentioning - I've already got the 4x4 quicklinks mod installed. I'm ideally looking for another page, but 5x5 will do for now

With Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate you can have up to 20 quick links.

Thanks, but it's overkill. I have had that installed, and I just didn't like it.
I'm sure there'll be some way to extend it, without having to add all the other stuff that comes in that mod.

Would be nice to have someway of having a second page you could flip down to (a bit like the iphone has flip across...)

My thoughts exactly, but that sounds like a massive reworkinging to me. I think to get 5x5 would simply be a case of someone "in the know" modding the existing manila.

For the time being you can get 4X4. It's in the stickies.

Are there any 4x4 ones that don't break contacts pictures/wallpapers?

The contact pics is still an issue, but since the people tab is the next tab along, I personally don't see the point in having contacts on the home page.
I don't know if the wallpaper issue still exists with the 4x4 cab on the stickied tweaks page, but I can confirm that if you use HDWall to get a background on all tabs, that definitely works.
HDWall

I like to have my girlfriends contact shortcut on the homescreen, so its kinda important to me...
I've seen a post with a 5x4 arrangement where contact pics work, but it has two different cabs, but no indication which works with the HD2.
Anyone?

Fair comment about the gf on the shortcut. Didn't think of that.
The 20 shortcuts is in this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5038737&postcount=1
and is called Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525. (I didn't want to directly link the cab as there's some other useful stuff on that post.)

Awesome, thanks heaps for that.
EDIT: 20 shortcuts works, doesn't appear to affect any other homescreen UI, and contact images display properly. Good thing I tried it, turns out 16 shortcuts would have been woefully inadequate. Didn't realise quite how quickly I had accumulated apps...

newbie.. with tp2 (need some help with theme setings)

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.

No problem at aall man
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....

How can I get rid for the Calendar on the home screen w/out themes?

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....

I'll add it then. Will it adjust the stock theme? I do NOT want to get rid of the stock home clock/weather. I love it's animation lol...

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!
