Pimp my Phone (100d reward) - Touch HD General

I like the phone, but i think it really needs some adjustements.
what im looking for is:
-a way to change the background while using tf3
-a way to change the icons on the top bar (as ive seen in some pics)
-a way to change stuff on the today screen
-any app that improves how the phone looks/feels
if someone could help me out either with a very easy guide or link i would appriciate it, but keep in mind that ive tried sick many hours and failed. so its gotta be easy..
100d reward if im allowed to offer that.

hang on here a minute. can you explain this a bit more clearly.
1. background, are you wanting to change just the first tab or all tabs?
2. Topbar, Are you wanting 1 already made or to do this yourself? for already made just visit the themes and apps forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474 but i would recommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132. If you want to make your own the guide is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=588802
3. The today screen is easy just go in to the today settings!!
4. Look and feel, HD Tweak is very good and found that this does work to improve the feel. I would also recommend a custom ROM for the final touch. Dutty is the man to see for these as far as i'm concerned.

-I would like a background for all tabs.
-Want 1 already made, probably wont be able to make 1 myself.
-Is it that simple? like I was thinking about some drastic changes like removing the calendar thing. anyway its not as imprtant as background and the bar.
HD Tweak is the 1 app i currently have, im also very happy with it.
what is a custom ROM? and is it easy to install etc?

***[COOL]*** Samsung i718 Flash Menu

Is that how you spell "Organiser"?
Also, is there a way to edit the programs targets in the registry or something?

i dono yet. found this over at Ipmart yesterday though. I tossed it on my touch and my brothers mogul and its sweet. Even my mom was able to navigate WM6 once we showed her this. I'm sure someone will find out how to edit it real soon. Possible skins anyone???
Nice find!
i find that the i718 or something like that, looks really a lot like the shadow,
maybe tmobile copied it
o, and by the way, nice find, but the launcher doesnt look like like the ones ive seen one the phone
I've read a few sites on this phone now and the opinion varies a bit. One place I found that was good for expert reviews and real life opinion on the Samsung SGH I718 even had a few photos and the like which i found helpful. Hope that helps others that landed here doing their own research:->
This is HEX-edit job not a regeistry job.
windows\launcher.exe can be HEX editet for customizing.

Yeah.. I'd really like to add my own menus to this.

Im a bit lost, what does it offer over the diamonds tf3d besides a stock tab?
I dont understand why anyone wants this so badly. Anyways, at this point, if they really want this to shine on the pro/diamond, i suggest finding a way to remove top and bottom bars from the today screen and letting TF3D take over completely

U think that's what some people are tryin to do via resizing.
It have a nicer interface and more customization.
I think a lot of Diamond user will like to change to this one.

5 day weather forecast on the same weather tab is another plus.
Personally, the only benefit I see of the HD TF3D is the built-in customization. But I can use Advanced Config for that, so... Don't care for stock nor weather, but that's just me.
What I would really like though, is a real and integrated calender tab. I know I can add one, but that just bring up the days of month, you can't do anything with it (see/add appointments etc).

Got myh HD2 and here is my first question...

It is gorgeous and for the last 3 days all's I have done tweak/upgrade and generally have fun with all the possibilities.
One thing I am a bit disappointed with is the font display on the home screen in the quicklinks - the font is so small it just does not seem to display correctly...and some of the links I have added to the quicklinks seem a bit pixelated...
Is there anything I can do about this?
Thanks
Scott

i dont get it either but i guess they want phone that works out of the box and they dont want to spent time tweaking it(best part about windows mobile, cause u can make your phone look like exactly the way u want ) and maybe cause of appstore? dunno about that cause itunes are very bad imho... slow and doesnt let u do what u want...
well everybody likes somethin else...
Activating Cleartype fixes the pixelation in the fonts you referred to. To turn it on go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>System>Screen and select the Cleartype tab.
Excellent that has made such a difference - the small title text for each Quick Link is still a bit fussy - or it just maybe be me....
I love this phone!!!
Thanks
Scott
Just did a restart and found the text is now truely clear - so I revoke my fussy statement from before.

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.
acidbath5546, you wouldnt belive how helpfull your answer was!
Thank you very much!!!!

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...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552153
Anyone know of a way to remove this? Maybe a simple .cab to run that will do it?
Any help is appreciated...

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!
