Alright I have loaded ROM's onto my phone but I am still pretty new to this, I am wondering if anyone can take the time to walk me through of how to get Home Screen's like these (the first one and the red one on PG1)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000
Thank you very much for any help you are willing to give.
P.S. what ever help I get I will be more then happy to give to other begginner's.
The big clock is called HTC Home and that's fairly easy to find, just make a simple search for it. The tray on the bottom looks like PHM Trays which you can get from PHM Tools.

Did you bother reading the thread or are you the type to look at pics and ask for help, right off the bat?
Actually I did take the time to read a lot of the post's but as I said in my first post I am pretty new to this stuff and a lot of the talk was quite confusing to me because of the short form's and such so program's and stuff like that.
Like I said before, I am just looking to see if some one has the time to help me, not looking for people to chirp about how new I am and such. Thank you.

Alright so I have read the first like 11 pages and no where in there have I found how to get those 2 Home Screen's running on my Dash?
Please help
As for the Red Carousel theme....go here.
Download the needed cabs in the bottom of his first post and read his install instructions.
As for the HTC home, if you READ where to get it from its in his first thread also...
- HTC Home
http://depositfiles.com/en/files/3306160
Download that cab.
Once you've downloaded the cabs...you transfer them to your phone using Active sync. Place them in your documents folder. Using your phone Resco Explorer program direct yourself to the My Documents folder and click on the cabs to install them.
If asked where to install them, pick Main memory (phone itself) not the memory card.
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
After the cabs are installed. REBOOT.
Once rebooted, Click on start->settings->Home Screen->Home screen layout
Once there, choose which home screen...you'd like to have.
Done
Thank you for the help, I have one question though, I downloaded the courosel theme and unzipped it to a folder and then I copied to my from through My Computer (I'm not sure if that matter's?) but when I selected the Courosel theme in Home Screen, the text messages and voicemail stuff look's all messed up? Is that because I unzipped the file?
Another question came up....
I dled the LCD clock and unzipped it, copied the folder to my phone and then went to Resco Explorer and clicked the Setup.xml and it did a bunch of stuff, I thought it installed but then when I rebooted my phone nothing happened?
DO NOT UNZIP or UNRAR the CAB files.
Jesus man
the lcd plugin is a CAB
If you need help anymore this member (Gixxum) is the man to go to.
Alright thank you very much, I didn't realize that that was a cab file since I have never worked with a cab before.
I installed the cab. and got a message saying that I may need an older version of WM?
I then rebooted and the LCD clock was not there?
I couldnt edit again so I has to do another post, the problem I was having was just that I didn't go to the background image and change it to courosol.
thank you.

No matter how big or what colors we use people seriously have selective reading. lol
actually I read that a few times but I was not sure what a cab file was.
Funny how much you care about the mistakes I made instead of helping haha.
Thanks everyone.
alright I have one more question and I thought I would post it here instead of opening another thread. When I am using txt messaging and I sent a txt (I will use this as an example) at 8:01 PM and some one sends me a txt back in the same minute it will say that they replyed at 7:01 PM. It always says one hour earlier for replys? I have searched through options but I cannot seem to find where to change it?
Thank you ahead of time.
Are you sure your time is right? Go to settings --clock & alarm-- and scroll to where on earth you are. Do a reset try that.
I checked the times man and NOTHING! this is kind of brutal, it's not like it's a huge problem but it's just ******* frustrating, any ideas guys?
Whats the time difference on the clock?
Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411
I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information
Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.
Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?
Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later
Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

No you can't. Well, at least I can't - press and hold and the only thing you can do is "Move to top".
Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .
I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.

I have an AT&T Tilt 2, which I cannot install a ROM on, because it's not mine (company phone).
As shipped, the phone includes all sorts of "free" (demo) software that I don't want. It wasn't installed through .cab files, so there are no uninstall options for it. I would like to manually remove it, though, and I'm wondering if it's safe to just simply remove the folders and registry entries related to this software.
I've moved the information into the wiki here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=UninstallingTilt2Software
Whether or not this thread is stickied or linked to somewhere or not is up to a mod, I guess, but I think there's at least SOME other people in the same boat for whom this is useful information.
Because the page is in the wiki, feel free to add to it if you have additional information.
I would love to know the same. I wonder if there is any point during a hard reset where you can soft reset and eliminate at least some of the crap. Most cooked roms or stock roms you can do this but I've never tried with a carrier rom.
Nice, 18M of crap out of ram? I haven't tried yet, my Tilt is, eh, being replaced so I've hard reset it for now.
I just Deleted all of the above and more. I started with 109.82 mb in use and now I have 71.92 mb in use. So far the isn't any ill effects. This works great for me since I wanted the stock ROM without most of the bloatware.

Well, storage, not RAM, but yeah, there's a whole lotta space there waiting to be freed up
I have been thinking the same by archiving all the bloat on a single page. The bloatware ware is rediculous at almost 70mb of useless crap. Att considers this to be an advantige over the other touch pros. Maybe we should petition att to release a rom with out all this crap.
has anyone actually archived all the bloatware including the programs themselves, locations in winmo and the registry entries on the Tilt2? I'm upgrading from the Tilt (kaiser) sometime this week and would love be able to delete as much of it as possible, without installing a cooked rom.
I guess when it gets her I could start archiving but it would go quite a bit faster with 3 or 4, or more working on it.
Did anyone notice that some of these apps reside under \Program Files\ as well as \Windows?
e.g. AWBOARDGAMES.EXE, SUDOKU.EXE, etc.
Are we doubling up on these items?

The copies in \Windows are in ROM, they're not taking up our storage space. The initial customization copies them to \Program Files and THAT is where they're taking up room.
Wiki page is now up to 10 apps, comprising 28.4mb worth of storage space. Others, feel free to contribute.
Is there any problem that you encountered by just removing the registry and program files? Can anyone share their experience of doing this?
Thanks,

Thanks for the info, didn't realize the original was in \windows rather than in a hidden area.
The way I understand it (someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong), "cooking" files into the ROM causes them to end up in \Windows. I don't believe there's any way to "cook" files into the ROM and have them end up anywhere else.
Again, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this.
Thanks for starting this thread and identifying the files we can get rid of. When I get home, I hope to have time to sit down and get rid of some of this bloatware.
Could someone put some brief descriptions on things? I could google and do it myself later tonight, just seems like a good thing to have.. Like Mobi4Biz etc.. The games are pretty obvious I guess.
And if anyone identifies any PROBLEMS with removing them. And perhaps when available, links to cabs to replace them, if anyone has such a desire.
I put short descriptions (as I understand them... certainly I would never be caught dead actually using any of this crap...) on the stuff under Applications.
You could certainly cab this stuff up, but there's no real reason to, all you'd need to do if you wanted it back is copy it back out of the ROM files. I think.
Maybe somebody could post a mort script that deletes all of the files specified in the wiki so that after a hard reset or for somebody who hasn't done it yet could just run that instead of locating and deleting all these file manually. I'll do it if I get a chance to get around to it.
Great thread. Thanks to the OP and contributors of the wiki. I can absolutely second the vote to get a good mostly stock AT&T ROM minus the bloatware. It sure was nice to be able to get rid of that on the original Tilt with the well timed soft reset... I'm guessing almost all of the ROM chefs will not find this novel enough nor having enough customization to bother. Sure would be nice.
Hi:
Sorry to be dense, but what are the steps to remove the items that are in the WIKI? Do you just delete the files, and the registry keys? Also, was the OP's original question answered about whether there are any adverse side effects to removing the files.
Thanks!

At least one person seems to have removed the items, with no ill effects. I really am skeptical that there would be a problem, as all we're doing is what an uninstall would do.
You are indeed correct, simply remove the files and registry keys listed, and the applications should be completely uninstalled (assuming we've got everything listed!).
Hello Guys and Girls..
Found another good app in the market and thought i share it with you guys..Its free which is important but also please check out the creator who cooked this beauty up and say thans to him on the link below.
http://imageshack.us
I find it quite useful and here is a description of the app.
Displayed as "Audio Manager" in the App Drawer.
Hide the Pictures/Videos/Audio Files and Even Entire applications that you don't want anyone to see.
Features built in video player , gallery , password protection and lots more.
Disguises itself as a Audio Manager app which can be used to turn the volumes up and down. but if you Long press on the Audio Manager title the actual Hide It Pro app will launch.
You can hide Images/Videos/Audio Recordings etc. from the Phone's stock gallery by selecting all the pics that you want to hide and selecting SHARE
Applications can be hidden from within the Hide it Pro app.
Gallery Features :
1.) Thumbnail View
2.) Pinch To Zoom , Double tap to zoom,Rotate pics
3.) Slideshow with Fade and Zoom effects
4.) Caching for seamless browsing
5.) Special optimization for low end phones. (uncheck the low memory mod from settings to get crisper pics back)
6.) Folder unhiding , deleting etc.
7.) Mark and unhide /delete files , Multi-Select
8.) Send/Share pictures/ Rotate etc.
9.) Sort files by date , size , alphabetical
10.) Inbuilt video player
11.) Disappears from recent apps list
12.) Two lock screen options viz Pin and Password
etc.
Link is below to the market..Go check it out read the reviews and hope it comes handy for you as it did for me. Read the reviews as well at the bottom of his page in the market.
Just want to make it clear im not getting anything for doing this i am only supporting the work of a dev and wanted to share it with the community..Please give him a thanks once you had a look on his page..
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartanuj.hideitpro&hl=en
Really clever and useful app.
I've only used it to hide apps on friends' Androids, once I've configured them.
They're new to Android and want the simplest experience they can get, with all the benefits.
It's a shame that you cant hide Minimalistic Text and Desktop Visualizer, and still have them run on the homescreen though. Hidden apps won't always run in the background (as warned in the app).
I hope it continues to develop - it's definitely worth al look for anyone who is not aware of it's potential.
I love the fact that it actually operates as an audio manager. Excellent disguise.
I'm using it since a few month. Save with tb. Restore after flashing a new rom. You just have to hide app again. Great app. Bugless.

hey buddy if you go on your phone and in the search you put Hide Pro that will be the first thing it will come up..download it and enjoy the app. but if you want the link just let me know and i give it to you
Been using it for ages now and its quite good, easy to use etc.
The only problem is it doesnt truly hide the pictures, files etc you want hidden. It simply moves them somewhere else with the old . trick before the folder name. Anyone who is familiar with android phones will know how to find them with root explorer.
Ive been searching but cant find an app that truly hides it. Back in the days when i was on Windows mobile 6.5, there was an app "Hide my stuff" and believe me, it did just that. Connect your phone to the PC, the folder exists but its blank in size, no files, cant unhide them etc. Only way to view them is via the app on the phone but i cant find anything on Android that hides things like that app did :-(

Dont think you follow me, dont get me wrong, ive used for 6 months easy and it is good for what it does.
What i mean is that it doesnt matter what ROM youre using, it doesnt truly hide the files you think are hidden. ie/ if i had your phone, i would be able to find the files easily so if the average person took your phone, whatever pictures you hide, arent seen in the gallery for example however its easy to find anything you have hidden if you get my drift. This is because the app moves the files somewhere else. Any file explorer can see them so its not really hidden. go to /mnt/sdcard/programdata/android/language/.fr/ and everything hidden is there so i wouldnt call that hidden lol
The other app i mentioned when i was using windows TRULY hid the file and there was no way you could ever find it unless you unhid it with the app, hope that makes sense.
I was just putting it out there if anyone knew of an app on Android that truly hides files, i havent found one yet.

Much appreciated. I hope you have better luck then me because ive been looking for ages and to date, this one is one of the better ones. The way it functions, ease of use, menu etc is great, i just wish it truly hid something.
Most on the market just put a . in front of the folder, with file explorer its easily viewed.
If you are ever bored, hide some pictures you dont want anyone to see, go to a photo shop where you can use the self service machines to print photos, put your phones SD/micro SD card in there and whatever you have hidden appears lol.
When i used this other app on windows it wouldnt appear

Il give you a buzz if something comes up..In the meantime im having a bloody rough time putting a link in my sig and its not bloody working and ihave tried everything i know
I'm using this app since the beginning. It's a great app. it had already saved my life lots of time !!!
It's really great for the money !
Hidden files are renamed in .bin, and then are moved to a "secret folder" in External_sd\ProgramData\Android\Language\.fr\ or something like that.
The add-on option is a way to lock an application. When you try to launch a protected app, you've got a force close message. in this message you choose report, then you have to input your secret code, and the app is launched...really clever solution.
Developer say that his next goal is to hide some secrets contacts from address book.
Yes man, believe me, it's a great app. hidden in a audio manager application.
PS 1: I have nothing to do with the developer. I've try lot of similar apps, but this one was the best one.
The other solution was giving by Tasker and some intelligent script to lock app and hide files. But it's more more complicated ;-)
PS 2: On the bad side, developer did not update his app for a while :-(

I know its a shame but still great apps like this i dont see no harm sharing them with people on here...nice glasses by the way
thanks for your comments
This one encrypts files
Try Private Gallery - Hide Pictures from market.
It encrypts files with option to hide app access via phone dialer.
Tested on Dell Streak 5.
I am using this app since 4 months.. it simply does what it says.. n it was one of the best
but the last update killed 'Lock App' feature which comes with an plugin... which is one of a kind..i love the disguised force close option.
Please tell me if this feature is still working for you'll???
Hi everyone,
I've managed to hide apps but I can't unhide them? It gives me an error when trying to do so and the app appears back in the hidden list.
Anyone else experienced this and managed to fix it?
Since the location of hiden files are stored in Phone memory (\ProgramData\Android\Language\.fr) can we move to External SD Card memory?
I often confuse with the terms "SDCARD" in file explorer, in my opinion "sdcard" is the external memory card which is purchase separately...
This app appeared on my phone without being installed. What caused this???
thanks for share:good:
