Check this Homescreen i came up with

took old tmobile blue homescreen did some editing and came up with this used the background from staulkor's from howard so kudos but i did edit the screens to work nicley here is a pic for some reason the one from staulkors kept showing the myfavs bubbles on screen so all i did was use the same background and edited the tmobile blue.xml to look like this first one i did so im still trying to figure out how to do this also have the black scheme to go with if anyeone is interested. what you all think??

i like it, i especially like how the carrier, time, and date are spaced out nicely. That's one thing that most homescreens lack

Um dude, this screen is old. I have had that for months. Someone else posted it a long time ago. Its called Black Dask.

really all i did was i found the one posted under black jack but for some reason myself and others the myfaves keeped turning on so all i did was edit the t-mobile blue xml and added the background from blackdash in it there where some commands where missing in the blackdash theme i downloaded like i said it came from staulker i belive none the less thanks for letting me know

i still like it lol

Hi - where to get it from? I like it very much, but here there is only a thumbnail attached, right?
Is also the calling dialog customized with these files?:
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27
HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186
HTC_WallpaperImg_320x240
I never seen a homescreen for s620 with that customized images.
So the result is e.g. grey theme, but still the default green calling dialog images.

ok can still anybody publis the homescreenplease? I dont have it and cannot find it.

here it is the home screen i posted that i edited along with the blackscheme cab file to make it look like all black.
to make all black you homescreen layout needs to be at Grey Dash and your color scheme at black bars and your background image to default.
to get the all grey look color scheme and background set to default
enjoy!

thank you guys! it's nice!
do you know, how to make it that I don't have that green graphics on the calling application after I installed the new homescreen (see thumbnails)?

Thanks its great, and the green call screen can you change by jeyo personalizer whith another one

Thanks a lot, and the green screen can you change whith jeyo personalizer, to anyone

Can you make the Windows Basic layout in Grey ?

use this to change the dial pad operator from the green htc to this just install the cab and i think you'll like it just reset the device after install
save to storage
install
reset
and dial out and see
its basic but cool forgot where i found it though so kudos to whoever came up with it

How to get HTC's official WM6 but *without* the HTC green theme

Hi folks,
My device is off being repaired to cure the screen alignment issue but while I am waiting for it to return I was wondering if there was a way to stop the HTC green theme being applied to the device after I do a hard reset?
I would like just the plain WM6 default theme.
I have read about this thing called ExtROM, which is where the operator install files are hidden? So this is where the evil green theme lives until it gets installed?
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
FYI I have a generic HTC, sim-unlocked TyTN.
Thanks,
gambcl

Um well you can do a search on google and find millions of PPC themes the green theme is just the default one set by the Preconfig.txt WM6 also comes installed with a blue theme and a red theme BTW they are called .tsk files

Umm, yes I know about .tsk files, but they do not get rid of the HTC green skin on the dialer, pin screen, etc. do they?
I was thinking the cleanest solution was to just stop the HTC green from ever being applied in the first place by maybe deleting the relevant install files from the ExtRom and then doing a hard reset.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've never touched the ExtRom before, I know I have to unlock it and I can read about that, but what exactly would I do after I have unlocked it?
Thanks,
gambcl.

For the screen commmanager try disable this file in extended: Green_Commger.CAB.
For the dialer take a look at ZombieNexus dialpad. I use one 3G dialer to subst the green one in HTC.
For the pin pad, try one of the CABs in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733 Youll have a black touch pinpad after install one of them, and of course the battery icon with detailed info
Hopes this helps.

This is exactly what I would like to know too. How to disable the green theme to load after hard reset.
I like the base blue theme, but that green theme changes the dialers etc.
Don't want other themes to replace them. Just to disable it not to load after hardreset.
I see that it loads a xml file that was named based on the theme, I just don't remember it atm. maybe I'll just have to fiddle with the extrom.
If anyone already has a working solution, please post it

Sorry, but the gree colors in pinpad is caused by a DLL in the ROM, not by some CAB installed after the HR. So you can only chage this changing this DLL.
About the DialPad, well, seemed as before, but with a lot of graphics files. You need a theme to change the green color and bottons (graphics files). Can't disable after HR. Only you can disable the default skin in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin making Enabled parameter to "0"
but you loos the 3G dial and SmartDialing. If you have 0 by default in this parameter, then you can't do more.
The only one i could disable is Green Commanager in the extended.
The other way to customize all this is, of course, cooking your own ROM

It depends what your loking for. First you should specify what rom you're using, WM 5.0, 6.0, 6.1 , Kavana, Rickwatt's, or Rose. Second , Are you looking for custom sliding panels or facade?
Here are some links you should check out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378000&highlight=today+screen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413393
You should also check the sticky on how to customize sliding panel homescreen.

right now im using the WM 6.1 Kavana Rom. but im thinking of downloading and flashing to the rose rom. and im just looking for custom home screens in general. preferably the sliding panels style

ok just installed the Rose rom by ricky. this one is much better and has more homescreen options. this works for now until i get bored

I don't think there is anything that you can do to the homescreen on the rose rom that you can't do in the kavana/rickwatt's roms. Stylez can you correct me if I'm wrong.

the Rose rom has better homescreen layouts to choose from. to me they look better.

You get weather and the messaging\call panels are split, there are a couple more panels that Ricky & i made, but pretty simlar, when it comes down to it, you do get the choice of 2 x layout so the Rose & the same as Kavana WM6.1 oh and the Media Top Bar on both.

so other than additional panels that you guys added with extra stuff on the homescreen, they have the same homescreen options like the windows default, win. music, sliding panel, sliding panel media top bar, win. live default, and colored top bar.

No welcomehead.192.png???

I know this isnt per say "Rom Dev" yet but it will be when we can lol.
I recently made a welcomehead.192.png for my phone, installed it only for it to do nothing! Has anyone found the file which represents what was the welcomehead?

StartUpImg_DMDO_000.bmp is the image that appears right after the startup animation just before homescreen boot. It's the only thing I've found so far. I replaced it with a windows phone image instead of at&t worldphone. I think the rest are all part of the StartUpAni_DMDO_000.dll

Ok im going back to b00n school for this one :S.
i opened up the StartUpAni_DMDO_000.dll in a resouce editor and low and behold the animation is just a string of pictures!
This means we can add custom startup animations!
Then the StarUpAni.dll holds the startup sound. (Sry if this is all old info i thought it was big )
But to this conversation the image in question is not in there...

What are you using to take apart the dlls? I tried to do it a month ago using Reflector but kept getting an error message (no cml header or cli header I forget). It was giving me the same error message trying to take apart some taskbars dlls to make one that works for everything including the start icon.
In any event that's excellent news. I'd like to take apart this animated gif in animation shop and use it if possible.

LG doesn't seem to use a welcomehead.192 Since you're on AT&T also you know how after the annoying bars animation with the loud noise and then it goes to a white screen that says AT&T Worldphone? That white worldphone image is the StartUpIMG_DMDO_000.bmp. I used a png file from the link I posted and renamed it to .bmp and replaced it and now it shows the black windows phone logo. I'm going to have to take a look in that dll and see about replacing the startup animations it uses by taking apart some WVGA gifs and replacing the images.
Since you had posted about it on lg-expo and here about taskbars; I think the majority of the files for our taskbar is in the shellres.192.dll (if you wanna dissect that too). I tried replacing the 0409.mui and using icon demarrer to change the start icon like a thread on here said to to change the start icon and it didn't do anything. You've seen the taskbar I use (taachan's dusk) and it changes everything properly but the start icon, however if you look for the dusk taskbar in the Rhodium forums that taskbar changes everything except the antenna bars and the bluetooth icon (it does change the start icon and comes in two flavors, start icon w/text and without). It might be possible to take them both apart and find out what works from one and not the other and make one that will work on our devices as well as figure it out to make other ones.

Yes it appears that they dont use a welcomehead tho the windows image(the red&orange one) has to be coming form somewhere... everything else is coming from the files listed above.
yea i have also been looking into the taskbars ALOT, but i havent found out why yet that the Dusk taskbar works. The reason that the others dont is because our phones phones are using a separate dll(current i cant find it) for the network signal icons. I havent given up yet tho...ill keep looking lol.

I think I had found the orange windows screen one day while going thru the windows folder but don't recall where it was I'll look again when I get some downtime at work.

Welllllllll I found the orange windows logo from the boot-up. It's.....welcomehead.192.png Extremely unamused lol.

just because something cant be overwritten doesnt mean it cant be "moved to the side" aka cab

This is interesting. I tried a cab and it didn't change. I tried it manually and it didn't change. I tried advanced config and changed the picture and it didn't change. I'm wondering if LG uses the same image, but has it located somewhere else on the phone.

woodhole's lg expo/iq tweaker has an option to disable the animated opening, but bootup becomes 3x to 4x longer, so it's not really worth it to disable it.
