Greets,
I am running a tilt with stock AT&T roms, but with the bloatware avoided through the timely soft reset.
I am wondering ... can I replace the home screen if I don't flash to a cooked ROM? If so, how?
Thanks!
if by "home" you mean "today" screen, then yes. simply by adding any today screen plugin.
a few things for you to search for:
start|settings|personal|today|items
HTC Home
SPB plus
HTC Homeplug
there's a good start for you
Tried ... Failed ... Help?
Greets,
I attempted to install HTC Home on my stock AT&T Tilt. It did install (confirmed by the fact that when I saw no evidence of it running, I tried to reinstall, and it told me it was already installed).
This still leaves me with my same old screen (except now, the orientation icon changed to a battery with a question mark on it).
Once installed on a stock AT&T Tilt, how do I run HTC Home to replace my main screen?
Thanks!
Changing the Today Screen options is explained in the book that came with your phone called a manual.
jgermuga - Interesting (not to be confused with helpful) response.
Had the presence of mind to check to see if your prior posts were also obnoxious ... not surprisingly, many are. Needless to say, I will not be responding further to anything you might care to characteristically come back with.
Great having you here - you clearly bring a lot to the table.
Start -> Settings -> Today Screen
I guess it may be possible that jgermuga was a bit snide but I can't really blame him/her.
Check your manual, do a search, or try to make your question more understandable.
If you want to change your Today screen, try this link: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/articles/softwaretips/personalize.mspx
It may be one of the most basic things to do on the PDA. How did you find us anyway?????
No good ...
I respectfully disagree! I do my fair share of answering questions on forums and the usenet, as well as those that come to me via email. I have NEVER been insulting or snide with people who ask questions. If they ask, they are hoping to get an answer, and very little is as disheartenening as learning that someone has posted a reply, only to see that it wasn't a (useful) reply at all.
One can spend their brain cycles coming back with a clever snide statement which does not help at all (and feel morally superior for the wit) or one can be helpful and answer the question. Since this is a forum, and people search for responses, the snide answer only provides a dead end for everyone who may seek help in the future.
So to those who actually answered the question, thank you VERY much.
In my case here, the provided answers did not work, but perhaps I asked the wrong question. I will need to look into this further.
As much time as you have wasted writing long and pointless replies, you could've read your manual and had your question answered already. Trust me - sit down with your phone and your manual and a beer or two and go through every page. I have done that with every phone I have owned and I learned a LOT of interesting little details that I wouldn't have known otherwise.

I agree. I've been using a PocketPC for over 5 years, and I still take the time to read over every manual. I always find a cool function for a button that I didn't know about, or something new about the OS that was changed, etc.
A total newbie here........
so go easy "Geeks" otherwise i will give you a hard time when you need a question answered about "getting a life" !!!!!
This "screen turning off" during a call issue.
Now i have read many threads on this and other forums. And i have noted that for some..its not that easy and we feel a bit worried about screwing things up.
Is there not one simple way to do it . maybe a "stickie" just for this to allow a beginner the confidence to know that the info is 100% correct and the way to do it isnt going to cause a nightmare!!!!
I have yet to be confident about one members thread about it..due to such technical talk etc !
Thanks !
Did you try Kaiser tweak? There is an option to turn on/off this function.
Obviously, one thing to keep in mind is that the screen is designed to go off so you don't touch it with your face and inadvertently hit a button. But yeah, KaiserTweak would be the safest way (imo) to go about it.
if i slide out the keyboard on the home screen and close it part of the today plug in get cut off for all buttons. the only way to fix the problem is to do a soft reset. does anyone have the same problem. maybe someone knows how to fix this issue. thanks
pic 1 is before the keyboard slides out
pic 2 is after. you can notice that part of the date is cut off.
pic 3 is after another keyboard slide out.
Is this stock or are you running a custom ROM?
Is there a hidden contest or something???
I should preface by saying I am in rare form today and normally keep to myself, but DAMN Elypsar - You're really burnin' up the threads today, aren't you? Seems to me though, you are just posting to post – I could be wrong and probably am, but your answers are so generic and really do not offer anything other than pleasantries and questions of your own to the question at hand and that's it. So it makes me wonder a motive or why someone would just post responses to threads with no rhyme or reason.
Forgive me, but I am in a skunky mood today and that is probably why I am taking a moment to comment. I understand that you are taking the time to help others out, but if you are going to help out, why not elaborate a little bit more than a one liner? Many of which are repeated throughout different threads, on different topics and the only response being yours.
Are you in some kind of race with yourself? Perhaps you like seeing senior member under your total posts. You recently joined so perhaps that is it. I understand about feeling like you are part of something, but you will know that your post count was built on general responses lacking substance.
Maybe you are going for something loftier. I dunno, but it seems silly to respond with generalities and such. Yes. I know some questions need more amplifying information as to properly ascertain what the problem is, but it just stuck me as funny because you offered really no help besides what ROM are you using and, Did you install something which could cause a conflict – basic at best, not even fundamental.
Not that this should even concern me, but as I said, I am in rare form today so deal with it.

P.S. VIPER - Have ypu tried to re-align your screen/recalibrate? Also, you may not want to, but, when in doubt, purge it out (i.e. Hard Reset)
Try downloading/using Kaiser Tweak and set the HTC Home to locked.
I had the same issue with the last rom I was running, one of Duttys. It seemed to me that it was the scroll bar causing the issue. I tend to keep the today screen free of BS shortcuts, so there is no scroll bar, but when the screen goes to landscape there is no escaping it. The transition from landscape to portrait ( i think thats the right term) it will keep the scroll bar up for a second, then when it goes away, your left with a blank spot where it was. Does all this sound correct? If so my only recommendation is to try a new rom. I am using the L26 V6. and I haven't duplicated that problem since I flashed it.
The camera autofocus indicator is supposed to turn green and then the pic will be taken. This happened the day i bought the cell. I changed to different shoot options and it worked.
At night i installed world card mobile, used it to recognise a business card. the autofocus feature worked and it recognised perfectly. i tried again with the same card, but this time the app hung and i had to do soft reset. I didnt use the camera again till the next day.
And thats when i realised that the autofocus feature was no longer working. The camera will make the focusing noise, the screen gets brighter, the navigation wheel lights up, but the white brackets do not turn green. Instead they display a red cross.
Having searched the forums, i found a few threads describing the same symptoms, but no solution. Someone mentioned using the camera application 6.01 from BEPEs rom... that didnt work for me.
I have done a hard reset using the original stock rom, latest shaks rom and duttys rom and bepes 0.99d rom... No relief...
Stock
ROM - 1.93.720.2 WWE
date - 8/7/08
Radio - 1.00.25.07
Protocol - 52.29.25.12G
DIAM140 64M
SPL-1.93.0000
I have the 2g EDGE only diamond.
Its under warranty, hopefully they will replace the cell, but i would prefer if a solution could be found. If possible, can some one who doesnt have this problem upload their camera.exe? Or am i being naive in assuming that simply replacing the camera.exe will solve my problems?
Thanks in advance,
Amith
Well, since you already tried to hard reset your device (multiple times even) and still it doesn't work, then you surely can rule out that it's a software problem...
I think you broke it my friend
If I was you I should go to the store where you got it since you have warrenty and all... One tip: flash your phone to the original rom (the rom you had when you bought it). If they see another rom on it, they probably won't help you
I had flashed it to the stock rom from the htc india site in the morning. Went to the shop in the afternoon. Today being a holiday, the shop was closed. Came back disappointed. Tried taking pics with the camera throughout the day. The focus only showed a red cross and the pics were clearly out of focus... And then...
It starts working again! On its on. I mean, I was hopeful something like this might happen, so I was trying taking pics every hour or so. And all of a sudden, the autofocus is back on. I took some 15 pics one after the other, only 1 pic [somewhere in between, dont remember which one] displayed the red cross, but even for that pic, the focus was proper...
The phone has had the stock rom for some 10 hours now. I dont know what caused the problem or what rectified it... I think i will play with it for a few more days, if it happens again, am going back to the shop.
Strange, eh??

I guess miracles do exist
Hope it stays in a working state! But you should go to the shop nonetheless, having it checked out... while you still have warranty

http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3273
as per the above link, the touch pro received a minor rom upgrade that includes fixes for
The display of TouchFLO 3D sometimes may appear cracked.
When taking a picture, the auto focus function may malfunction in some circumstances.
In some circumstances, the preview screen will become black after taking picture.
In some circumstances, the device may hang while loading TouchFLO 3D.

is it possible to somehow find out what the fix was? maybe someone with a touch pro could download the rom and post its camera.exe?? maybe i should start a thread in the touch pro forum pointing to this post and request help there? what do you guys feel?
i took the cell to the vendor, he couldnt figure anything out. he said i was the first one to present this problem to him. the only option left for me is to take it to the service center where it will remain for atleast a week as per the vendor
Auto focus Polaris
I do have the same problme as you do. I tryed several things to repare this autofocus problem, but nothing is working! I m really disapointed in HTC. If they cant make a good auto focus, why do they try it!! I can't make good photos anymore with my Polaris, so i hope that this(touch pro file) will help to create a solution. I will not bring my polaris back to Htc because i dont want to lose all my progs and files!! Please find a solution !!! If it is a hardware problem HTC SUCKS!!!
Thanks for all!!
I have this issue that makes the photos taken in low light conditions (totally dark sometimes) with the flash on have a white and sometimes blue hue on the right side of the image. I don't have any case/ screen protector on the back side of my phone and the lens is absolutely clean. I've called the guys at Sony Xperia support and they told me to use the diagnostic tool to see if the camera and the flash were working and asked me to repair my phone with PC companion software update. Even after going through all of this there seems to be no change whatsoever Has anyone else had this problem with their xperia z1?
You have the same problem with the camera like many already reported.
Same here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2613386
I also had the same problem and like many said to me, I telling this to you, learn how to use the camera on the phone.
I know this seems rude and I agree with you and I also do not agree about that because I don't spend a lot of money to waste my time to set up the Camera properly to avoid white ghost on my pictures, specially when I use iAuto Mode.
So what is the main reason and problem here? Like I already said this many times, the flash is too close to the lens. Technically nobody can said I am wrong if I said that because all we know if the flash will be more distanced from the lens we will get better pictures. Not all the users have this problem too, let's clarified here.
Now the solution is just only one, with some options you can avoid that and try different method to avoid the white/blurry shadows on your pictures. Many posted different type of solution and different settings so I can suggest to you only one thing, try and find the right options by your self, good reason to understand how working the camera too.
thank you. Will see what the guys at the service center are going to say when i take my phone to them.
Took it to the service center where they told me that they would install the "Original" Software ( a thing only they would have according to them) and that it would take 2 DAYS to download it. they didn't even listen to me when i said that i repaired the thing with pc companion. Whenever i have a problem, these guys seem to think that flashing their ORIGINAL firmware would magically solve all the problems.
EDIT : Got a new phone after they replaced mine and even the new one has the same problem. Guess the person who decided not to put a flash in z ultra was a genius
