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?

I know JMZ made an awesome lockscreen changer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523812) but it isn't playing nice with my setup and keeps crashing so after trying it long enough, I've given up on the app.
Can someone tell me how to manually change the lockscreen image? Where do I place my image/name it and what resolution, etc should it be? Thanks.
go to Start>Settings>Today. at the bottom. place a check inside the box. andmap the background you want to use.

ahhh.....i didn't know it was that easy. I always thought background in that screen was for the today background, not menu and lockscreen background. Awesome. Thanks!!

The Program he used makes the cab makes the image a manila file. I would suggest ask the OP for the original image.

Sorry, but this doesn't work to map the grey background of the lock screen...
If it works for others... please tell us how.. thanx
Alternative method
Hi all
An alternative method is to create an image file you want to use for your today and lock screen background. The format is .jpg. The portrait should be named:
stwater_480_800.jpg
and the Landscape named:
stwater_800_480.jpg
Copy these to a convenient folder on your device, e.g. My Documents. Then, using a more powerful file manager, e.g Total Commander, copy them to your \Windows folder, overwriting if prompted.
Cheers

Home Screen/Lock Screen Merge?
Hi Guys,
Does anyone know if you can set the home background image (in TF3D2) and the image for the lockscreen simultaneously? In other words, can you update both images at once (preferably by selecting it from the "Settings" tab in TF3D2)? Is there a .CAB of some sort? ANY help would be appreciated. ANY help at all!
Thanks a bunch!

The "OMG, I can't believe this actually worked on my T-Mobile USA HD2!" Discussion.
So, quite recently on Twitter, I've been informing my followers of things I've tried, managed to accomplish, and/or various ideas on tweaks that I'd like to attempt in the future.
Now, with that in mind...
I'd like to present this thread as an open-discussion topic, to further the common knowledge of everyday users and "1337 h4xz0Rz" alike.
Please, feel free to share a "success story" of something you've managed to make possible on your HD2. Whether it be a registry tweak, theme, custom ROM, or various modifications... be sure to offer as much detailed information as you can, allowing other users to perhaps share in the same experiences.
More-or-less, this is where TESTS, TRIAL-RUNS, and COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS will meet in terms of what CAN and simply CANNOT be done... SAFELY on our devices.
hmm well it wasn't very "1337" but I was pretty happy that I could edit the registry to make TouchTwit blink the LED when I get mentions/msgs.

1) Open registry editor
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
3) There will be a lot of GUID entry folders. Find the one that corresponds to the notification you want to alter. When you open the folder, the (Default) value, if set, is the name of the notification that corresponds to the control panel value.
4) Change AvailableOptions from 11 to 15
5) Hit start->settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifcations
6) Scroll to the notification type you just changed (for me, "TouchTwit: Mentions")
7) The box "flash light for [x]" will no longer be greyed out
Great find. Definitely worth mentioning. This is the kind of stuff we need on here. Thanks for the submission.
reignzone- I would like to know if it is possible to increase the vibe alert intensity on the TmoUS HD2? I did a search and was not able to find anything. I switched from a Razr V3 which had a strong vibe alert. Also, I successfully flashed to HSPL2 and just waiting for a stock rom to flash new rom. Thanks
Can anyone walk me through dumping my stock TmoUS rom so I can post it here which will provide everyone a way to revert to shipped rom?

Well, in terms of vibration intensity... that is usually application specific. The system vibration alerts cannot really be tampered with as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. There are applications, "modded" applications that provide various system tweaks that can alter the vibration... but not too many of them are focused on something so "simple" as vibrating alerts.
As for a system dump, that would be excellent. Post in a few other threads in this area, and I'm sure you'll find people that would be glad to assist you in providing that for us all.

Maybe one of you can figure out how to use this program. Good Luck
i installed dusk theme on my tmous hd2 seems to be working fine. i think it even fixed a problem i've been having since day one where it doesnt come back from sleep. so far haven't had to soft restart. i also installed a few other files from the uk version and they seemed to work ok. also all the registy tweaks work fine.

Good stuff guys. Again, thanks for additional feedback.
As for Dusk, yes... I've taken quite a few bits and pieces from that theme and used it on my STOCK build. For instance, the retractable slider themed with Dusk features.
I'm so glad we're finally moving this T-Mobile USA forum along now, it needs more attention from the EURO threads.
I can use my HD2 to watch any videos from my file server.

That's pretty sweet man, pretty sweet. How'd you manage that?
I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I just installed and tested quite literally, every transparent home tab slider from the guys at PPCMods.
And needless to say, each one of them worked, flawlessly. Also, they all look just gorgeous. But after testing "the look" of most all of them... I fell in love with the Colorful Stickers icons. Simple, HUGE, and great design.
Finally, the clock fonts are phenomenal as well... check those out too.

Pretty simple - just get the HTC Networking add-on or (I use) Resco Explorer & its network client. Wi-fi up, point it to a file share with your creds, et voila! I find TCPMP and/or Core Player to be tops for viewing.

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!
Hi there guys. New to the cooking arena, so sorry if the answer is plain. I just cooked in build 23676, and most things work fine. The one thing I don't see is when I click on contact details, I don't see anything. Just a blank sheet. Is this a known problem? Any fix for this? I've also tried build 23129, and I see the same issue, just not the extra tabs.
Does anyone know what files are called for contact entry and viewing?
I've seen this problem reported in several ROMs (I *did* search!), but not a solution.
Thanks!
- bump -
Can someone please tell me what files are involved in the display of contact details? I know there are chefs that ran into this same problem. It is driving me nuts!!
I probably cannot help (I have just added 23676 with no such issue, and am a noob chef myself) but it might make it easier for others to help if you added your device to your signature and explained what kitchen you were using, and perhaps what other packages you used (or things you had removed).
I use a Rhodium and Oskitchen. I still use most of the Rhodium 2.07 EXTs but have updated some to the Leo packages. As I said, I have checked and do not have that issue.
Cheers
C.
Thanks for the reply, C. I appreciate you taking the time to at least give your thoughts. The problem with providing all the information you mentioned immediately disqualifies my request for help. I have a "non-HTC" phone (well.. a non-anything phone really) with a Windows 6.5 ROM. I have piece by piece broken that ROM apart, and am trying to insert the newest build features. So I have to handcraft a XIP, go through every package, run custom osnbtool commands, etc. No help from any of the nice kitchens.
I am stuck at this one point, and I must have flashed at least 50 ROM versions to my phone trying to find the one combination that sticks, but no luck. In my search, I have found other chefs that made "standard" HTC ROMs that ran into this. All I'm hoping is someone remembers what they did to fix it. One example is here.
Would you mind doing me a favor? Can you take a screenshot of what the contact details screen looks like and post it? I can try to go through all the image files, and embedded images in DLLs to see if I can spot the graphics that show up on the page.
Err will try - need to dig up a screen shot app etc as dont use them or have one cooked in.
About to go to bed and travelling to a work meeting tomorrow so don't hold your breath - if no one else has chipped in by the time I am back I will try.

No worries. I've waited 3 weeks on anyone responding. A few more days won't hurt.
Hows this?
Are these what you wanted? You can see the theme background coming through behind the contact picture - I dont use this screen much as I use the Manila contacts so not an issue for me.

Yes - perfect! Much appreciated! Now to start digging into the dlls.
You are my hero, crazyC! I've made more progress in a day, than in the last three weeks! I discovered that I had missing icon files in the Base_DPI_96 package. So now I get a contact screen, but the background is not being populated. So I need a little bit more investigative work. Not sure how to get there yet. But man.. progress is progress!
I really appreciate you taking the time out to help me!
I am happy to have helped someone rather than always asking for help!
What do you mean the background is not being populated? I dont understand? Are you talking about the bit where my theme is showing through?

Yes. You see how in my images I have a really blocky bitmap in the first, and a checkered background in the other? I am assuming there is a background image that goes there that I am not getting.
For your contacts, is there a special theme that you installed? I see a dark background with some clouds. If I know where that image comes from, I might get a clue.
