is there some sort of guide or anything that will help me out with changing my homescreen to a custom style that I want? I see everyone have all these cool hhomescreens with "tabs". for example an entertainment tab, weather tab, etc
I strongly advise you to do sit down with your manual and your phone. Grab a beer and go through the whole manual. Trust me, you will learn a LOT. Then come back here and go through the Post Your Today Screen thread. Most everyone who has posted has explained what programs to use to achieve the desired home screen.
If your question isn't answered, use the SEARCH function. Browse the forums. You will find much more by searching and reading than by asking pointless questions.

I'm sure there are guides, but basically you need to go to the Start/Settings/Personal/Today/Items area to enable/disable the today plug-ins and to change their order. As for all the screens that you are seeing posted on here they are typically a collaboration of many today plug-ins. For me, I use a Resco plug-in to show my battery level, and have quick access to numerous programs. Then I have PhoneWeaver for my profiles. Below that is PocketBreeze for calendar, tasks, notes, contacts, messages (all in tabs). And my last plug in is Weather To Go for my weather. Oh and I'm also trying out SPB Pocket Plus which is the battery bar at the very top (above start, time, etc.).
Hope this helps.

Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

You have been around since April...you should know better! SEARCH This has been discussed to death and there are many CABs floating around.
I have been searching and will continue to search, I have already downloaded many cabs, changed reg settings and got my phone to what I want, just had problems finding that particular one
Dig deeper if THAT is the one you want. It is REALLY REALLY old so it will be buried in old threads. Nobody (for the most part) wants/uses the 3 tab home screen.
Its linked to in the sticky in this forum. Right at the top. Also it can be configured to have between 0 to 6 tabs at the bottom.
Home, Weather, Favorite Contacts, Music, Favorite Programs, Profiles(ringer vs vibrate)
Thanks for replying, did a google search and managed to get the htc homescreen from another site, works great
Hi, I just got myself a Tilt/Kaiser and have been plowing through all that it can do for the past 2 says.
I have found these forums to be a wealth of information, hence I just wanted to introduce myself and say THANKS to all of you who contribute so much to it.
Moving on, I do have two quick questions...
I downloaded and installed the HTC-Home plugin which allows me to have the large digital clock and all the other cool looking buttons. However, I am unable to find a place to download the Wireless today plugin which would allow me to have an entry for my Wifi network under the today window. I have done several searches on these forums but the most I have found are either A) Mentions of the plugin or B) Other wifi plugins. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places? Can anyone just give me a link where I can download it?
Secondly, is there any way for me to remove tabs from the HT-Home-Today screen? Out of the 5 tabs there (Home, Fav people, Weather, Shortcuts, Music) I want to remove the Weather one.
Thanks again guys!

Try KaiserTweak, there is an option in there to enable Wireless Today.
The wireless plugin is built in to the OS anyway. If you dont want to use kaisertweak or advanced config tools to enable it, you need to find the reg tweak that enables it. I am sure it in the Hermes Wiki.
And htchome tabs are set in start, settings, personal tab, Today, HTCHOME tab.
Thank you guys! KaiserTweak worked
I know with TF3DConfig you can add/remove programs from the Home screen, but with TF3D Off (therefore making TF3DConfig useless), all you'll get is the Today screen. My question is, how can I add program icons to the Today screen? The only thing i have on my today screen is Date and Messaging. How do I go about adding more programs like Opera, Notes, etc. onto the Today Screen?
Thank You.
you would have to pretty much install thrid party apps. There are a bunch of them so I wouldnt know where to start. Depending on your preferences, I'd start with SPB Software.
You can only add plugins to the today screen. Now there are many plugins available, where you can add programm shortcuts, quickdials, shortcuts to files etc. Search a bit! Amongst the best are SPBPocketPlus (unfortunately not compatible with WM6.1/Diamond yet), ILauncher from SBSH and many more......some even freeware.....
The search function in this forum is your friend, as is google or www.handango.com to get an idea of what´s available....

Maybe i'm retarded, but every attempt to search this forum for "SPB" yields 0 result! Would you mind guiding me to the right thread? Thanks again!
Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
