Xda Orbit 2: HTC Home Screen Issue - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Howdy Folks!
Newbie so please bear with me...I'm on the verge of buying the O2 version of the polaris...however it comes with the o2 'modified' home screen rather than the original HTc home screen... i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to install the original htc home screen on the pda..
Cheers!

HTC Touch Today Plugin on HTC Herald?

Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to have the HTC Touch Today-plugins on my HTC Herald?
If so, please explain how.
Thnx,
x!li0n
Try upgrading to the PdaViet WM6 rom. The plugin is included with it. Or even better you can download the Kaiser home screen which has a few extra tabs in it. A quick search and it can all be yours.

New HTC P4350 Skins and/or UI

Hi All,
I'm new here, and just Registered. I haven't yet familiarised myself with this forum so if I'm posting in the wrong section or double posting, I do apologise before-hand.
I'm wondering if anyone can possibly please help me- I'm in desperate need of a new skin or two for my HTC P4530 - I'm quite tired of the three Windows Mobile 6.0 Skins and the HTC Default skin!
Does anyone know where I could download or get some new skins? Even a way to customise and make/create my own?
Secondly with there being a vast amount of HTC wizards out there- I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to customise and change the HTC Home Screen to that of the newer HTC Modules like the HTC TyTN II or HTC Touch with that new User Interface, is it possible- I really love the colour scheme and its look!
So if anyone can help me or point me in a step towards the right direction, I'd really apprectiate it! Hope to learn alot from browsing these forums!
Thanks!!

Advantage HTC Home landscape QVGA, anybody?

Hi there Folks,
maybe a strange question, but I give it a shot. I tried to install the HTC Home - All Devices on my HP910C. Works. Only problem: NO more space for a today plugin... :-( But after a search on the internet I saw that on the HTC Advantage they made a nice solution to keep a little space to run a few today plugins... They moved the three buttons from SMS, Mail and missed calls to the right, so there is a slimmer HTC Home to fit on the today screen. VGA of course :-( I searched trough XDA and on the internet, but it seems like nobody ever shrunk it to QVGA. Do you guys think it is possible to make a QVGA sollution for "non-rotatable" landscape devices? That's the only thing I seem to miss on it... Anybody a suggestion, hint, link? Or should I forget about it and go whining in a little dark corner of my room and accept the punishment of going to a HP from my Tytn... link: http://i.zdnet.com/gallery/202271-480-360.jpg
Kind regards from the land of fries and beer,

Unbranding T-Mobile MDA Compact IV

Would like to get rid of the pink T-Mobile branded TouchFLO interface. What's the easiest way? I'd avoid flashing a cooked ROM, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408650&highlight=debranding
Check out that thread. Has a cab with the black manilla theme. Or you could choose one of the many .cab based themes that are around!
i really do recommend you just flash a new ROM instead of installing a new manilla. the T-Mobile ROM is so horribly slow you'll be amazed how much faster the 1.93 roms are!

I have to say that he´s 1000% right. I have also Vario IV and thought that no need to flash, only changed the Theme. After 2 Weeks me was boring and I tried the Romeos 1.4.1 Rom .... Fantastik how much ist the difference ....

All you have to do if you want to get rid of the touchFlo interface and not install a new rom is to get TF3D Config and download some themes for it and you will have a new interface look and no flashing of your rom.
TF3D Config v0.6.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Themes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV as well and now am using the original black Touch Diamond Theme interface.
If in the future, you decide to go back to the original T-Moble interface, you can do so using TF3D Config.
Hope this helps.
p.s. If you need any help just pm me.
how to remove the ugly pink and white T-mobile stuff
Hello people,
I just bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Netherlands), and the pink and white T-Mobile interface is horrible. All I want is the all-black HTC touch pro interface. I know that this question has been asked repeatedly, but I didn't understand the replies since this is my first smartphone, so actually i am a novice. Could someone please explain step-by-step how I can get rid of the T-Mobile interface and put the all black HTC interface on my smartphone?
Thanks a million in advance guys

ROM = Operating OS. There are ROM's with WM6.1 and the latest WM6.5 (though latest but not new). Your phone will not operate without a ROM, just like your computer will not function without an Operating system.
Cooked ROM = A cooked ROM is a ROM that is modified by certain experts in the developers community. These cooked ROM have some applications removed, updated applications, a newer version of OS, etc. All these are done to suit the user, whether it is speed is king or the user prefers eye candy.
Energy ROM = It's a ROM made by NRGZ28. We have cookers like the famous Dutty, kwbr, Miri, etc...
I seriously encourage you to get used to your device first before you look into custom ROM's. Any slight mistake will leave you with a brick instead of a beautiful Touch HD.

It gives be better ideas!
But which type of COOKED ROM is more emphasize on Speed?
Because I don't actually like my current COOKED ROM / ROM
Btw, how to check whether it's COOKED ROM or ROM?
Another problem I'm currently facing is that
My TOUCH HD will auto connect to internet, sometime.
thanks!
ROM speed is actually up to user. For me personally, I go for kwbr and Dutty. Be sure to use the Manila 2.1 ROM so that your system doesn't slow down.
If you're using WM6.5, there is a setting in Connections called No Data. Toggle it to disable internet. If not, check your programs so they do not download data automatically.
