As so many people keep asking the question how do I remove the XDA live text from the main screen , I thought I would put a quick how to page on how to do it.
If its not done in this order it may not be persistant.
Open PHM reg editor
Scroll to \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta
Change the Value to anything you want or delete the today string to have no user text display on the today screen.
Then Power down Via the power button (not the reset switch).
Edited , Typo
The key is actually located in: \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta
How do I remove the XDA live text from the main screen? I really have searched and can't seem to find the answer!
Sorry, Couldn't resist.................

You took the words right out of my mouth.
Well allthough I have been reading and posting on it since page 1 on that thread im sure some people are not trawling through the 37 pages otherwise they wouldnt keep asking ,
and swamping the thread which is for reporting only.
Hi everyone.. I'm going really mad!
I can't find cabs!!!
For days and days I was browsing theese forums and I've read a LOT of useful posts (along with useful cabs to change/add/fix something)
IE.. one for that damn 3g ico, one for wpa2, one for keyboard fix, the smsbackup, the dialer, the voice command and so on..
NOW I've flashed (again) a new os and I need all those fxxxxd cabs.. I can't find them (well..someone of them) with the "search" function!!!!
To MODS: Why don't we create a wiki page with the direct links to every useful cabs?? Or a sticky thread here with a list for every cab?

Why didn't you save the first time you banana head. Also you can create a wiki page too, don't need any moderators assistance.
Why don't you bookmark the threads or the posts when you found. Don't blame us cause you decided to flash. You found them once, use the search button to find them again
Some of the stuff is on the Extras wiki page so you might like to start there.

Banana head...buhwawa! Very correct.
People...save your cabs. on your SD and on your lappy or pc or mac or whatever you use. who knows when you'll need to handle up on some cab business.
Also don't complain...the wiki is there for everyone. You wanna see something on the wiki then wiki.

Why don't you click on the "attachement" icon on the sticky thread to check if there's any cabs you are looking for? As the others suggest, use the SEARCH option.
I have a few cabs in my sig.
It's True!
You can never get a cab when you need one.

the wiki can be edited by any member.. if you find something that is much needed then put it on the ftp (as long as it dont violate any of rules) and add it to the wiki with a link to it.
i also went ahead and made a hermes wiki page for carrier settings cabs.. Anyone feel free to edit this and add files
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
Not more f'n stickies, there is already a larger list than on the main hermes sub, of crap I gotta scoll through every page, and Im sure Im not the only one who browses the forums mainly on their device.
Also, I got this idea a few years ago from someone when I first started messing with PPC's. When you find a cab that you will use again. Make sure you save it as "read only" that way is does not get deleted when you run it. I keep a folder on the storage card with a file labled cab's and back it up frequently. I must agree, It's sometimes difficult to find what I'm looking for when I do search. I love the fun of creating an interesting subject heading, but that does not help someone doing a search if the subject is inside jargon. Your subject heading will help no one down the line looking for the same info, even if you are pointed at the source for cab's in this thread.
If the guy doesnt even know how to save the damn cabs file on his computer or storage card, I'm wondering how did he manage to flash the phone to begin with.

I know how to download a file but no-one WANTS to save each "this could be useful someday" cab.. It is an UNUSEFUL THING and lead to confusion, requires maintenance (to always keep the latest version) and so on.
Everyone does backup his cab (if he uses, have used, or he's sure it will use them).
FTP each cab (and edit the wiki accordingly) IS a LONG operation to do now that could be avoided if MODS forbid to have post attachment.
Do you want to share a cab? OK.. put it in FTP, edit the wiki, and post here both links instead of attaching directly the file.
Hard Drive space is cheap and you should never count on someone else to make sure you will have the resources you want or need.
I have more Cab Files than I can count and don't plan to stop saving them.
Mods are here to moderate not rule over the users. This place is a community effort.
If you see a need then do something to fill it. You want a Wiki Page with useful Cab Files, start it and upload the cabs you do have as a beginning.
This discussion is going nowhere so I'm closing the thread.

Hey Guys i found this link in the titan forum and i have installed and used this piece of software on my TYTN, it works 100% and it is BRILLIANT!!
I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL FOR THIS, I HAD NO INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPEMENT, THAT WAS SOLEY DOWN TO emunutz (HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM - NOT ME, OTHER THAN FOR MY FIXES)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
My Fixes:
FIX 1
Description: HTC Home FIX!
Error Description: When using ANY HTC Home Plugin, i found the following graphical error:
ill use the home tab as my example, when it is not selected, it is dull and transparent, and when you select it it gets a grey box around it and the icon image becomes lighter, this happens with all icons appart from the music note and the contacts tab
FIX:
i have fixed the images so that when they are selected they react the same as the others.
TO USE:
Extract then copy the Original Icons Fixi have attached into the following folder replacing the ones in there:
HTC HOME Customise\HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then apply the "Original" Icon Set.
FIX 2
Extract then copy the Transparent selected file to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\bg\Original Semi-Transparent
And it will make the Grey selection Box that appears around the selected tab Transparent!
My Packages/Upgrades:
1) Original Icons 3D Style
To Have The 6 Tab Icons In 3D Download Original 3D Icons inside the zip you will find 2 folders "Original" & "Original 3D"
The "Original 3D" folder has the new icons in it, copy these icons to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
If you decide to go back to the normal (non 3D) "Original" Icons, copy all of the files in the "Original" folder from "Original 3D Icons.zip" and copy them to the directory above, then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
FIX

I didnt realize! Mainly because i contacted the OP if the thread in the Titan Forum and he told me that it was his software and he was devoloping it.
I offered to have a play with some of the griphics and he asked that if I did anything could i post it on his thread so he could add it to his package.
Firstly i was looking for things that needed improvement and i released these 2 fixes, posted them in the Original thread and here so everyone could benefit
Thanks bennec83. Just a quick question. Does this work with the HTC Home 3 tabs version? I rather like the 3 tabs version as it is more finger friendly.
thanks for the effort

In theory (and we all know how accurate theory is) it should work with the 3-tab except for the tab order setting, as long as the version you are running installs to either \Windows or \HTCHome.
Another option would be to install the 6-tab version, run the customizer, and in the tab order setting you can select how many tabs and what order you want them in (which means you can display only 3 if you would like, and in any order you choose).

I tryed that and it didnt work, i have the 6 button kaiser home plugin, and it installs to \HTCHome, i used the customiser to change the order if the tabs and NOTHING happened.
I have been so bogged down with other stuff i didnt get a chance to message you!
Any clues?
thanks
You'll need a 6-tab cab that supports the tab order setting. In my thread, toward the bottom are RapidShare links for cabs that fully support all settings for the customizer for WM5 and WM6, including tab order.

I am having the custom weather database "Unable to retrieve weather" problem. I read the thread in the Titan forum, but could not resolve it and the linked N2A thread. I am using the cab file from that thread, not the Pocket Hosts method.
I am in the US, so I run the customizer (which completely rocks btw) and enter my city, zip code and USA for country. I get the cannot connect error. I read the post about switching to alternate connection, navigating to htc.accuweather.com, etc. but I do not actually know wtf is meant by switching to alternate connection? You mean wifi v. gsm connection??? I do get the error page "You have reached an inconfigured webpage..." when I navigate to htc.accuweather.com on any connection. (My city is on accuweather's US site, but not on the international site. That is, after all, the point of this customization, right?)
Any help appreiated - thx.

Sorry don't know how to call it, but I have installed a newer schaps firmware and now I have the following tool I want to get rid of.
When I press on the right corner on the G(PRS), volume etc buttons, they are enlarged in a separate window (text balloon?). This means every time I want to access the volume or messages I have to go through 2 steps instead of 1, and I cannot change the volume of my phone just by scrolling the wheel, now the enlargement comes forward. (sorry for my bad english).
Is it possible to turn off this thing?
Thanks in advance!

Sure, you can turn it off. Just go around somewhere in Start/Setting then you will see the menu enlargement icon to turn it on or off.
Ignore the guy above - he's just a smart arsed f***wit who either doesn't know what he's talking about or just simply cannot be arsed to read your question properly.
Now, as you've no doubt already found out, his instruction was for a totally seperate thing (for his sake - YOURS CHANGES THE SIZE OF THE ICONS ON THE START MENU when what the post actually asked was how to get rid of the speech bubble that comes up when you click on an icon...idiot)
What you need to do is to fire up a registry editor (handily, there's one included) and go to HKLM\Services and find the LargeTitleBar key.
Delete it. Restart. Job done
Have a nice day
Smiffy.
With all due respect to a senior member like you, i would like to tell you that whatever vichet007 has said is true and if you disable large start menu you can get rid of the bubble. So why unnecessary flame some guy who is trying to help.
Thanks

Menu option
I'd like to know what setting lyhouth is talking about. I searched in settings and could only find large and small keys settings.
Quakie
Large Start Menu (and large Title Bar)
Having seen both functionalities (larger start menu as well as large Title bar bubble) as separate entities here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
i have concluded, that Schap's must have skillfully crafted one switch to simultaneously change the state of both settings.
This "Toggle switch" is found in:
Start -> Settings -> et voila "Large Start Menu"
While the larger style sure comes in handy for thumb use, it is a drawback of the large setting, that one cannot simply in- or decrease in call volume by simply using the scroll wheel but one has to remove the phone from the ear and set it manually via said big bubble.
Using the siple routine indicated above, one can decide for onesself, whether this feature combination caters to ones personal needs and preferences or not.
Being given the choice, along with the Advanced config tool et al. is what makes Schap's Roms so useful and great in my personal view. I must say I love them.
Cheers, Chris
we love to hear people helping other using nice post...

Sorry Mr Senior Lordsmiff for this inconvenience. I just do hope that my contribution/response can help because I used to do this when I have this issue (if I can understand this issue). Please just ignore my post if you think it's not helpful or it's wrong because I am not an expert like you, Mr Senior. I spent time responding to this (using my limited knowledge as what you mentioned) because I do believe that people in this forum are helping each other if they think they can help.
Sorry for my bad English as well.
Hey come on you guys - don't be all up tight about this. It was tongue in cheek - highlighted by my use of stars instead of actually swearing. Everyone gets flamed occasionally, including me.
Suck it up and don't be such a bunch of girls.
Oh, and xda2jojo - next time you PM me to tell me not to use an inappropriate word, make sure I've actually used an inappropriate word.
The number of times I've spoken to flar and others in an attempt to become a mod and stop the people that are actually using bad language on here to each other and i get a PM reprimanding me for using stars in a tongue-in-cheek post??? Was there not enough smiley faces for you?
I apologise to lyhuoth for my abrasive sense of humour but that's what it was.
xda2jojo can f*** off and give me a free holiday then.
Well...we are all from different location, different culture with different sense of humor.
My co-mod including flar knows everything before i sent a pm to remind others.
Try to use again inappropriate word even using star, i'm gonna give you a permanent holiday.
I *really* can't believe that you're having a go at me because I'm censoring myself and not actually swearing...unbelievable.
With the personal attacks that go on around here all the time, I'm being censured for personal restraint during a tongue in cheek post.
It's obvious to me that you don't do any modding on this forum because anyone who knows me and has seen my previous posts knows that I am sarcastic, abrasive and helpful in equal measure.
Since when did the mods around here:
A) do any actual modding
B) start wearing jack boots
Custel got a 24hour ban for far far worse and you're threatening me with a permanent ban for using stars????
Seriously, unbelievable.
xda2jojo can **** my ****

See? A missed off smiley makes all the difference :-D
simply delete the registry is OK
not sure the exact location, something like
HKLM\Software\HTC\large tilte bar?
make a search on google or here, you will find the answer!
OMG? How much f***ing reading does it take to see that has been answered already...in this thread...!!
It's not like we went OT or anything and started *****ing at each other about stars and swearing?
Can you not use a scroll wheel man??
Sheesh.
Damn I am all confused, did the problem actually got solved? I can smell is some stinky arse...LOL
On my profile I want my location to show up...how do I do this?? Not a noob when it comes to forums but I have looked all over! Tried searching but my terms were too generic no matter what I put in (plus I'm lazy). Can anyone help me with this?
There still seems to be a bug in the forum software. Normally you should be able to configure this in your UserCP (User Control Panel), but the menu entry for this group of settings does not show up anymore.
But you can use this link directly in order to adapt your settings.
