I was wondering how to change the background screen when my TP2 is lock. I tried downloading different themes and background and it still doesn't change. I have a tmobile with stock rom and official 6.5 upgrade. Can anyone help.
thanks.
The background of your lock screen is the background of your Today screen. That is to say, the background set for Windows Mobile 6 and not the Touch Flo 3D background.
If you want to change your lock screen background, go to the Settings tab in TF3D, press the left soft key ("All Settings"), select the "Today" icon, and at the bottom of the first tab there will be a checkbox and a browse button to select your background picture.
S2U2
You also may want to consider S2U2. It offers much more control over locking phone and pictures Give it a search and check it out.

Thanks alot guys. I actually went to that window/tabs but wasn't sure what it would(I'm a newbie). Thanks again
I m having a really annoying problem. When I first got my phone (tilt2) I was trying out different lock screen backgrounds and somewhere along the way the incall lock screen buttons changed to these really horrible like round custom things. I didnt install anything so I dont have a CLUE how to get them back to the default buttons that I liked. Anyone have an idea?

Hi. When I open the keyboard, the screen orients itself to the landscape mode. When I close the keyboard, the screen resumes portrait mode, but on the right hand side, part of the screen is covered by the background. It is the same width as the scroll bar. I can't get rid of it until I reset the device. Any thoughts as to the problem and the fix? Thanks.
umm i had that issue before, do you have a lot of programs open? sounds strange, but when ever i have a lot of stuff running, my device cant handle it, so it kind of gets frozen onto the screen until i reset...
does this problem occur ALL the time, or when u run a certain problem?
Actually, it only happens on the Today screen. If I have any program running in landscape and return to portrait before exiting to the Today screen, no problems. Just when I go to landscape in the Today screen. Very odd.
what todayscreen plugins are you running?
I think only two: Tonaya Weather to Go and cLauncher. Pbar is also running, but I don't think it is a Today Plug-in.

I had the same problem too with cLauncher but it is no longer there after I installed SPBMobile Shell which enable me to put cLauncher into one of its tabs buttons...
Why don't you try disabling cLauncher from your today..
I tried disabling each program alone. I had to place other today features (all standard with WM5) to create a list long enough to cause the scroll bar on landscape mode. When I return to the portrait mode, the space was still on the right side as before. Curiously, I put back the plugins, and the space was gone. Must have been refreshed.
Hi Curious,
To refresh the Today screen after the vertical scroll bar has disappeared try...
1) Select the Comms button to display comms options
2) Slip out the keyboard so that the comms buttons re-orientate
3) Slip the keyboard back in then exit the comms screen to return to the Today screen
Is the Today screen intact now?
Thanks. That worked. Now I'm just wondering why it's doing that in the first place. At least I don't have to reset to get back part of my screen. Thanks again.
Nice one! Well done. Not sure why it happens but I have the same issue but I don't mind it that much. I was guessing that it was the SPB Plus Today Plugin but I'm not sure.
Do you also use the SPB Plus Today Plugin?
No. Is that like cLauncher?
Hi Curious,
The SPB Plus Today Plug-in allows you to place shortcuts on the Today screen and group them under tabs which is nice but if you don't have it installed then that blows my theory
The only other thing I can think is that it is possible to alter the vertical scroll bar width by editing registry, the key is:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr
The Default is (Decimal) 13 but you may be able to make this smaller so that it minimises the problem.
If you do find the cause then let me know
Thanks, but I think I'll stick with your previous idea. I'd rather not tinker with the registry if I don't have to since I'm not great at understanding registry changes.
cLauncher does what SPB plugin does. It's free and it allows different sizes for the icons. It really helps me with one handed function. It may be part of the problem if SPB does the same thing with the screen orientation.
Thanks again for your help.
I am looking to purchase this phone and have a query regarding the lock screen.
I used to have the I-Mate K-Jam, the lock screen on this phone used to lock on the Today screen if i'm not mistaken. I could basically see my today/tomorrow calendar items, no. of unread message etc. Since the k-jam i've had the i-phone and i have severely missed the today screen, there are apps for this on the i-phone but they get buggy then there's compatibility etc.
Does the WM 6.5 have the same lock screen, i know the new lock screen looks totally different, but i do understand there is a setting to enable the classic lock screen. Does the classic setting allow the user to lock to the today screen.
Any images would be great.
Thanks in advance
Anyone answer the above please.

Thanks but thats not really answering my question, all those images are of the new windows lock screen.
Has anyone got the classic lock screen on the HD2?
More to the point can the HD2 lock the screen on the 'today' screen.
Thanks

yes you can i have tried it...but first you have to disable the default lock screen in wm6.5
if you post that you got it, why not post how
go to settings > menu > all settings > lock > display tab choose windows classic from the dropdown.
then the phone needs to reboot and you have an empty original today screen..
to get sense back or put other items on the today screen got to settings > today > items tab
whatever you choose, now when you push a button it will show you a locked windows today or sense home screen..
edit: althought it takes an extra tap to unlock, it easier with one hand then the slider on top of the screen..
You can also try PocketShield which works nice on the HD2.
It has a "transparent lock" mode which might fit into what you are looking for. Not free though...
I have posted this before a couple of days back on another thread so sorry.
Just wanted to know if there is a reg key that i can modify to get HD2 slider lock back.
A little background to the problem, i installed Cookies Home tab and now my slider lock is gone(the one that comes default with HD2). It may not be related to CHT as the folks on the other thread suggest. when i try the soft key lock button on right hand side bottom it used to lock my phone and i had to unlock it using the slide lock. Now it still gets locked but the home screen still remains and an unlock shows up at the bottom left hand side, which on tapping presents me with an ugly out of the place unlock screen and on tapping it again i am able to unlock it.
I am tempted to do a hard reset coz i like the default slider lock, however i want to give in to tweaks and try things before jumping for the extreme. Any suggestions/ bright ideas appreciated.
Thanks
P.S. I tried S2U2 but i kinda miss the default one and uninstalled it.
Sorry guys i figured out what was wrong and i have the default slider lock back!
the reason it was disabled was, my setting> lock > display was set to windows classic.
I changed it to windows default and the lock is back.
Thanks.
Hello, I have a HTC HD2 on Vodafone and have just downloaded and successfully installed the latest versions of cookies home tab and its editor.
When you see the countles videos people have uploaded online of people with their htcs, with the awesome little customised, cookies home tab screen, everything works perfectly.
My home screen by default is black and pretty blank, except it has a joint weather and time widget at the top of the screen. Pressing menu, edit home layout, i assumed would be the thing to do. When i do this, a screen just like i want appears, with the clasic big clock..and the quicklinks..and i can move/add/change everything as i want. I press done and this appears to be my new home screen.
However, whenever i attempt to scroll or move anything up and down on the screen, without reacting, it will just snap back to the original black screen i spoke about with the smaller widget at the top.
This means i cannot customise anything, for example the handy expansion of quicklinks..etc, as when i do, everything will just snap back to its default.
Like i said there are hundreds of videos online about this program but none running you from installation to customisation, so i dont know what to do!
Any help would be greatly appreciated to get me started with this program as its getting on my nerves...
Thanks a lot!
after removing cookies home tab& editor 1.8.5 due to it suffering from lag phone proceeded to soft reset and on loading
i have a black lockscreen with the word "error" in red situated at the middle of the screen and another at the bottom of my screen!
i am unable to access the start menu by pressing start it seems like its locked all i hear is the lock sound, i cannot load programs from quicklinks ..i am able to move the slider along but nothing works the phone is set on the today screen
has anyone else encountered this problem? any advice would be grateful
p.s i had used the CHT lockscreen which enabled me to set different backgrounds for the lock screen and start menu fyi
re previous entry after hours playing around wd the phone with very limited access somehow i managed to install a lockscreen via resco file explorer so i got my phone working back to normal..question is why did this happen& where is my default lockscreen? i have the same issue with my slider i have a slider cab installed when i remove it, it doesnt revert back to default??
