Is their anyway to put a custom wallpaper JUST for the lockscreen? The only way I know is to go to settings > today and "use this picture as the background". BUT the start menu gets the image too which I don't want.
Is their a regedit or something where I ONLY want the lockscreen to have a custom wallpaper?
Let me know guys.
Good looks.
I still need to know if this is possible.
Let me know.
i need it too
anyone have an answer yet?

You should install CHT 1.8, that allows you to skin every part seperately

well they say my tilt 2 is the same as a tp2 so i thought i might have some luck here. i tried the edit the stwater 480_800 file, but it changes the background on everything else too.
i didn't like the s2u2 since it intefered with my dusk lock 3.0 but would love to have a different screen instead of just transparent over my dusk ga background. i opened the cpr file but can't tell what to change to bring up the background i want.
does cht 1.6 work with a stock rom on a att tilt 2? i'm still a noob and not ready to flash yet since there are just too dang many roms to choose from and iwouldn't know how to pick one.
i've got a stock rom with tf3d (manila 2.1) wm 6.5

You should try CHT 1.8, it has some awesome new features like switches, and the custom wallpapers for each screen. It won't damage your system, and yes it's 6.5 compatible!

yes it is 6.5 compatible, but, i have manila 2.1.19183217.0 (tf3d) tried a couple of cookies mods before but most wouldn't work, because of the manila version i guess. alot of the mods i have tried for sense won't work either.
and if they list 2.5 in the requirements i don't even bother anymore, after 5 hard resets and it taking me 2 weeks to find everything again. although i did get smart enough to keep my cabs on the storage card after the last time

Oh yeah sorry you said you were using manilla 2.1, but why do you keep a stock ROM and don't use for instance the DeepShining x8, it's really nice!
basically because i am still a noob. just started doing registry edits a couple months ago(read computer illiterate except for games). and if i brick my phone i can't afford a new one. if i can somehow get it covered by insurance(throw it under truck) its still a $150 deductable i don't have, otherwise its $400
2.5 has some really neat stuff but i need to do alot more reading on it first.

You shouldn't need to install anything special to make this work. In fact, it's pretty simple once you know the way. Go to settings-->Personalize-->Lock Screen Wallpaper (when it asks "Would you like to use the default wallpaper?) select no and then select your wallpaper. Enjoy

on a stock att tilt 2 with manila 2.1(tf3d) and wm 6.5 there is no option for that, just the homescreen wallpaper. would be nice though.
i am using dusk_6.5_lockscreen_v3.0 with Dusk ga wallpaper and i love em both, but i just want a different pic for the lockscreen.
now can anybody tell me why without any changes to taskbar or wallpaper my taskbar is a solid black, which then changes to a crappy grey when i put the wallpaper or taskbar on(tacchan23 dusk taskbar with the the cmda fix too) and where do i fix it at.

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.

All right guys for those who want to have the old start menu back and want the old programs tab with 4 icons plus the 4 icon programs launcher then intsall the attached cabs (black or white font) which does it all for you, including the registry tweak to enable the old start menu, so enjoy;-)
P.S. currently in landscape mode it doesn't work so well so will try to fix this and post updated cabs here!
Full credit goes to showaco for the hack and Aussiebum for WVGA conversion!Many thanks guys! look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487192
I've just put everything in one easy install cab including registry tweak, tested on Dutty's v2.6 xtreme rom but can't see why it should not work on other rhodium based rom's with the new start menu!
N.B. this tweak is only for Rhodium based cooked roms with new start menu, so may or may not work with other based roms!!
Update 10/04/09: Added 3 Icons programs tabs cabs for those who prefer the standard 3 icons row programs tab rather then the 4 icons version!
Update 18/04/09: Looks like sgilesuk has beaten me to it with a version for those who prefer to keep the new start menu but would like to have 4 icons all programs launcher look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505400 nice work sgilesuk thanks

If you mean just to have the icons with titles but without the tiles background for programs tab then the simple answer for the moment is NO sorry!!
Please bare with me as I've only just started looking into this hack and trust me it's not as simple as it looks! to do this hack one needs modify the actual value's and scripts within the manila files and that's very time consuming with a lot of trail and error!! so kudos goes to both showaco for the hack, it's his baby and aussiebum for the WVGA conversion!
I'm just trying get my head around this and do plan to do several other tweaks, lets see if I have ample time this easter weekend I'll try look into your request and see if it's possible!
Would love : only the 4 icons all program ...
I don't like the rest !
Hi,

Hello, it is possible to disable the old start menu?
Which registry tweak is this?
Thank you!
I installed the black version. What a mess! All icons in three lines.... I don't know how many rows.

If you are refering to the 4 locked icons (Home, Contacts, Calendar, Settings) in the programs menu then they can be unlocked with some registry settings:
e.g.
For the HOME button:
Change the following value
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Program Launcher\0\IsReadOnly\1 <--(DWORD Data, Dec)
from 1 to 0 to unlock.
The same apply to the other 3 locked buttons after that do soft reset for the changes to take effect
OKAY!!!
Great news!!! i sticked with dutty v2.1 because of the ****ty start menu.
Will flash this weekend to v2.6 again with your cab.
is it a possibility to have the new dutty start menu and this new programs tab working at the same time?
Thank you. I am trying.
Hey gfreek, when I initially flashed dutty's 2.6, I downloaded these cabs from that ROMs thread.
After installing, I encountered a problem whereby once you had scrolled to the program's tab, the soft key settings specific to the programs tab would stick i.e. not change when you went to another tab so if you went to the home tab, the soft keys would remain on 'All programs' and the other one (which I now can't remember off hand). The only way to fix was to soft reset and the problem would simply reoccur if you clicked on the programs tab
I also couldn't uninstall these cabs and had to perform a hard reset.
If you could sort out these issues, I will gladly revert back to the old start menu with your method.

I'm using TF3D 1.3.37395.xxx, ROM 1.59.707.0, Radio 1.13.25.24 and WM6.1
I would like to upgrade my TF3D to the new version, but i don't know which one is the suitable for me?
All things i need:
- Fastest Speed, Lowest Memory
- Allow me to push Home Soft-key to return the Home.
- Allow me to add favorite programs in the Home
- Allow me to change wallpaper in each tab.
Thanks!

Hello, anyone can help me?
deebeejayvn you already got help. The whole forum tries to get what you want: less resouses, but more speed and options. Guys make new firmwares, progs, mods.
But firmware you desire just does not exist. And will not.
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
Calendar transparency courtesy of millski. Unzip the attached file and copy the files to \Windows using Total Commander and overwrite the originals (after taking a backup of course just in case it doesn't work).
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:

Yesterday I installed HTC ROM upgrade and unbeknownst to me installed WM 6.5. It does not seema s bad as some here make out but I have come across a couple of irritation stumbling blocks that I am sure someone here can resolve for me. How the hell do I get into basic wondows/phone settings such as backlight, power settings etc. Is there a way to customise what used to be called the Today screen, now the Home screen I suppose, beyond what little is available on the Home screen menu. In the old 6.1 version I had until yesterday when Touch Flo didn't have a settings option you were dropped back into windows settings, can't find a way to do this now. BTW does Manila = Touch Fl0 3D and is Sense an updated version of the same?

ok, im figuring u have the wm 6.5 now. yes manila is touchflo, and sense is just the newest UI. touchflo3d is a UI and Sense is a UI. if u have touchflo3d and want to change today screen settings(which is limited with out modding) go to ur start menu. then settings. then go today screen. u can change your themes on appearance tabs. if u want windows default today screen, click on the items tab on the bottom of same screen. then u can uncheck touchflo and check windows default. its a more basic setup. if u really wanna modify ur today screen/tf3d, check out the Themes and apps thread here in Rhodium. theres all sorts of tweaks to make ur tf3d look nuthin like it does now. Like transparent sliders, new icons, new taskbar, new transparent clocks, and it goes on and on.
i know it can seem confusing with all the icons trying to find ur main system settings. For the main ones, press start menu. then go settings. then go to system. u will be able to modify backlight/power settings and more. these are the main windows mobile settings. U also have a settings tab in tf3d that lets u change some things in system and tf3d but not as much or detailed like main system settings. try it out
Hi Jeremy.
In the 6.5 ROM you can find all the old regular WM settings by just sliding to the "settings" tab in Sense, and clicking the bottom-left soft key, "All Settings". Yes it's an extra click, and yes it gets annoying.
Manila is the underlying operating name for HTC's custom UI. First version was TouchFlo, then TouchFLO3/TF3D (which you just came off of), then Sense. All of those are just "generations" of Manila.

The fix is noted above, but I would recommend burning a custom ROM. I'm using the Energy ROM, and in that version the Settings goes to the WM settings rather than the Sense Settings tab. Plus, these ROMs can have a lot of nice customized programs already burned in.
I just downloaded and installed Easy Today Launcher on my WM Prof 6.1 and I am really happy with it. It allow you to put shortcuts on your today screen. I have TF3D turned off, so no idea how it works with that. The Easy Today Launcher is free and super easy to use.
thats right...in that tab theres the all settings to...a lil faster..lol

Hi. Thanks for explaining the Manila naming thing.
Unfortunately, for some reason, I do not have the All Settings soft key, its what I was looking for - the same option as in 6.1 with TF3D. Any ideas? Maybe I shoud just flash with the Energy custom ROM and be done with it!
Hello to Austin Texas btw from sunny north london!
Jeremy
I have found the All Settings option, it was under the Menu soft key! Anyway I have taken the good advice of stevedebi and installed the Energy custom ROM, which was a cinch to install and looks fanatsts so far. A happy man here!
