Hi guys, this is my first post, firstly I wanted to thank you all for your great advice that I have been reading over the months.
I have applied a wallpaper to my home screen a while ago but I fancied a change. I came to change it start>settings>today then the use this pic as a background tick box at the bottom. I loaded a pic onto the HD from my PC and tried to change the wallpaper to that one, but it won't, no matter what I do it stays the same. I don't even get the default HTC black one back.
I have a stock HTC rom, can any one help? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again
Go to Settings-->Wallpaper (in the settings manila tab).
If the picture is in your My Documents\My Wallpapers folder on your phone the pictures will then show up. If it is stored elsewhere eg Storage Card, select the More (left soft button) and browse to where the picture is saved and click on the photo you wish to use.
You are wanting to show the picture on your TF3D Home tab and not on the Today tab.
Thanks very much for your reply, sorted now, a simple oversight on my part, I feel so stupid!

Bump for justice, this link was no use, the HTC homescreen editor DOES let you change the number of tabs, but when set to 1 tab (home) it will still display the tab bar.
its the tabbar i want gone to get some space in the today screen for other apps.... anyone ?
I have been looking for the same thing without any luck.
To modify the taps "thanks to Bepe" copy the attached to your SD card, run HTCHomeSettings.exe
Or
Check this app HTC Plus (an independent application)

Anyone knows how to change the blue image that appears on top when you press the call button that says "smartphone" in Kavana's WM6.1 080408??? Or where to drop an image with the same name so I can replace it??? If so, what's the image name...
No Problem!

All you need is a pic you want to change this to. Rename it cprogback_land.png and drop it into your Windows folder. This will help you avoid messing with you registry. I have a sample one below that you can use. It has the numbers that correspond to the letters on a dial pad, so if you want to dial 1-800-BelowMe, you would know what numbers to hit from your screen's background. There are some threads that you can search for as well that are devoted to this discussion.
Dialing a number screen
Hey thanks man, I really appreciate your help, but that image is the call status background, I've already did that and it worked when I wanted to change it. The image I'm talking about appears when you're dialing a number, above the space where the numbers are written, when I had my Dash with WM6 there was a bar with the HTC logo on it, I want to put that image there. I'm attaching it so you can see it...
Will this do?
Bar on the top...
Well, I don't know if that's the background image in the dialing screen in your phone but thanks anyway. I'm attaching a picture that shows the screen I'm talking about, actually, is a picture of WM6 but instead of the bar at the top with the HTC logo, in Kavana's ROM appears a blue one with SMARTPHONE to the left, I'd like to change that bar for the one I posted before...

Hey man, thanks for the thread, they solve the issue of the small banner that says "smartphone" but put some numbers there, I just want the original banner from HTC with the logo on it instead of the "smartphone" banner...LOL!!!
Restore HTC banner on the dial screen
So, there's no way to restore the HTC banner on the dial screen instead of the one that says smartphone on the right? Somebody knows how to do that without using any .cab file? Just replacing it by renaming the picture for example...
Ok..I'm reading this thread and im confused!!

I have done a .png that has the banner @ the top and transparent under or do you want bellow banner white? Then just place in the folder location Outer posted, back up original incase you want it back?
Will upload both in morning as using Dash.
Am i on right lines?
Here is a cab.
Check this out man. I got tired of reading the posts that try to help you, so instead I just made a cab for you to install. You will have to reboot your phone, but it will do exactly what you want.

Hey O, you did it, that's exactly what i was asking for, but i don't know why the banner looks kinda blurry, if you want i'll send you the original image so it will looks better, because i couldn't upload it here because it exceeds the size of the attachment.
Very good job man, thanks...
this one looks better
Here, use this one, I guess paint doesn't work as well as photoshop for converting jpg to gif, go figure.

One more question...
I just wanted to know why this rom's doesn't keep that simple details, it's what normal people like me loves about this phones...
Hey Outerdepth do you have that htc logo but in the blue version? Doesnt have to be a .cab file
Hey,
having a little prolem with the blackstone.
cant change the "Today" wallpaper if i try to do that from the folders that are on the SD, why is that?
i have the option of "use as todays wallpaper" but when i press on it nothing happens...
i can only change the wallpaper if im trying to do that from the TF3D tab option..
any ideas?
happened after i installed Blackmagic...
i tried to uninstall it, and still the same..
also, when i choose to put the Default Wallpaper it used a totally black wallpaper, not the original one that came with the HD.
i guess the default wallpaper file was changed somehow?
The "Today" screen you are referring to is the Windows Mobile one. However, if you are using TF3D, then that is a different "Today" screen. We'll call it the HTC Home screen. If you were to disable TF3D you would see your changes on the Today screen. But to change the picture on the TF3D Home screen, you have to do it through the settings tab.
I don't know why it is using an all black default picture. On mine it uses the one that came with the HD.

Hi im not sure if this is right ROM version - 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
and i have installed this following progs black dialer, finger keyboard, black calculator, flash player, HD tweak, crystal mail and music.
plz advise.... thks...
i understand that you have go to start/settings/today and use this picture as the background and choose image from your device or storage card?
yes but it could not work.. any idea how can go about this without activating the hard reset?
i have the same problem... :/
just rename the wallpaper you want in the existing one and replace,reset.
Where is the default file located, and what is it called..?
Just go to setting if you are using touchFLO, on the menu that slides below and choose wallpaper (home wallpaper) select no whe it ask to change default wallpaper and choose your picture, don't go to today or change wallpaper from the picture viewer it doesn't work, this problen is not fixed in the original rom.
Bye...

as far as I remember changing it on today would only be seen if you can see the today screen and with TF3D running , you can't see it
TF3D is effectively an app that hijacks the screen so it's background is the one you should change
if you are using TF3D you need to scroll to the settings tab on TF and choose wallpaper there.
Im running mANILLA 2.5.19211619.0 im trying to get my background to change on all the tabs. None of the cabs are working, the only one ive gotten to work adds a huge black space at the bottom of the pic it adds, and once its done I cant change that pic. I want to add a custom picture to it and be done with it, where is the original pic stored so i can replace it?
In \Windows - they're called stwater_480_800 (portrait) and stwater_808_480 (landscape).
Have you tried HD Wall though? You can create a cab file with any picture you want, it skins the top and bottom bars and is bg4all, plus it's easily uninstallable.
Hmm
Those files do contain the background I wanted, But its still showing the weird light blur circle background instead. Changing that file does nothing.
Are you using a miri rom? The background has concentric circles in almost a low res picture? You can enhance the quality of the picture by installing the neo drivers
Again, the easiest way to get bg4all in high res is to use HD Wall.
Yup
Exactly Miri's Rom damn, your good. Ok, was searching for HD Wall, Thanks for the link. I will try HD Wall and report back.
All is great only problem is Weather Tab does not change. Its a completely different background, even from before.
Sorry about that, It was calendar And i see why its different, I was in day to day view. Thanks again appreciate it! Now the background Miri uses for start menu is the background for TFlo 3d. Thanks again!

Strange, miri must have done some coding to the weather tab to use different backgrounds. Sorry, no suggestions on that one. Perhaps try to ask in the miri thread.
EDIT: Ok, I see you were on the Calendar tab. the calendar tab on many roms has a grey backing, supposedly to make ti easier to read.
Yeah
All is good now!, Originally used Titanium but got tired of so much swiping to move around, Now to find a 20 programs menu so i can have 5 on the home screen, found a cab earlier but it messed up the wall paper

Id hate to open a new thread for this so ill post it here. I've almost got my home screen how i like it, my problem now is Notifications do not show on anything except the top start bar im on build 28011, Miri's test Rom. Im trying to add notification icons above my programs like this:

I would prefer it if the bubbles showed on the home tabs/slider bar in there appropriate icon. but anyhelp is appreciate btw im on manilla 2.5
I have gotten the Text & Email bubbles working, now im working on the Call History / Missed Calls shouldnt they show under contacts? just like the text one does.
I see you did open a new one after all though
