Hi !
I've just done a soft-reset with my 2020i and now I don't see the icon for rotating screen (right bottom of the screen)
I don't know what to do then I ask you if is possible to restore this element without hard reset.
Thanks in advance :wink:
The rotate icon dissapears on mine often too, usually a soft reset fixes it but i dont use it too often because i find it to be buggy.
Try mapping a button to the rotate function.
The bubble problem is common too, sometimes it decides to stay at the top when it is suposed to disapear, ive even seen it display ?????????? when you click on it.
End of the day i think there just OS bugs, nothing much to cure it atm
Thanks guys for your replies. :wink:
So I have uninstalled IP Dashboard Monitor (the last software I have installed before getting the problem) and after a soft-rest my rotate screen icon was showed in the tray.
Now I know. If you install that software your icon will miss.
About the bubble, I also think it's probably a bug :roll:
Thank you again
I found that SPB Diary and All phone profile sofware (ie, Pocket Zen Phone,Phone Alarm and Pocket Profiles) Disable the Screen Rotation Icon.
Also Sometimes SPB Weather when installed to MMC or Storage,when installed to Phone memory works OK.
I had this problem, it's actually to do with the Today Screen items not initialising quick enough. Search this site for NoPluginsToday and follow the instructions, I don't have them to hand but I found the solution on here and now I have all my icons back in the task bar.

Lost Today item....Message !
can anyone export the today item's "message" !
don't know why suddenly the Message lost in the today plug-in !
anyone ?
One more time, I miss the icon again and this time the cause is TomTom Navigator 5.
Now I think this is a BIG bug of qtek 2020i, why I miss the icon ? :?
Is there a way to create a shortcut to screen rotation function ?
Thanks guys.

Thanks a lot swoopster for your quick and useful reply :wink:
All of the sudden tonight I started seeing white rectangles when I open a program and black rectangles when I close a program. When I open a program, first it will show a medium size hollow rectangle about half the size of the screen followed by a larger one about 2/3's the size of the screen and then the program opens. When I close a program it does it in reverse with black rectangles. Also, when I change todayscreen themes just after I pick a new theme I get a tiny rectangle in the upper left hand corner followed by a slightly larger one a little more towards the middle of the screen and then the wait cursor pops up. To me it seems like it's an animation, but I don't remember enabling anything like that and menu animations are disabled. I don't really care if it keeps doing that as long as it's not a sign of a problem of some kind. Anyone else seen anything like this? If it's something I accidentally enabled, how did I end up doing it so I can turn it off in the future if I decide to?
HKLM\System\GWE\Animate set this to 0
it now animates opening and closing windows
Thanks RPGO. I was just about to hard reset my phone since no one seemed to know what was going on and I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that could potentially harm my phone sooner or later. I still don't quite know how it got activated.
Figured out how it got it got activated. It was part of Paul's tweak pack over at MoDaCo. I was just over there and happened to run across someone asking for an untweak for that tweak.
I've looked around and I didn't see anything except references to WM 7 might have something like this, but it occurred to me today as I glared at the big ugly scrollbar on my Today screen that it'd be nice if there was a semi-transparent and/or floating toolbar which would let the text flow under it, be readable, yet still usable to scroll down.
Is there anything that can do this? I've seen some different looking scrollbars around, such as one that looked like this <---->, but it was pretty low-profile and such, but it wasn't floating, but I'd still like to know about anything that makes the scrollbar less ugly.
Thanks!
Maybe less items on the today screen?

Yeah, that'd help for that, but there are other places where it'd be nice to have less obtrusive scrollbars.
I've tried several things for the today screen.. I didn't much like either SBP option (Shell or Pocket Plus) but at least they let you put different things on tabs. I like HTC Home + HHC but it takes up lots of room.
I'm still experimenting a bit, but this is more of an overall query, not specific to the today screen, although that's one place that'd definately benefit from it.
It's much more of a better idea if you don't put your scroll bar in your today screen...what I mean is not to put too much information in your today screen.
This program from VJ helps a little, removes the soft keys from the bottom of the Today screen:

Hi there,
I´m trying to hide the soft buttons bar. I already tried pmc today shrink and softbar remover, both found searching the forums.
Problem is, I still want to display the tray (in the place of the soft button bar - the goal is to increase today space without loosing the tray).
With pmc today shrink, the soft buttons bar is gone, but also the tray.
With softbar remover, the softbar is gone, but the tray remains in the same place (so today screen space is not bigger).
Does any1 have any idea about doing this ?
Thanks in advance.

well with pmc the buttons are still usable. you just have to hit the actual soft key buttons not the touch screen.
my 2centz.
Well... yes, I know
Thats exactly what I want: I want to get rid of the softbar, but be able to still use it by pressing the soft buttons (hence, why I think there is no need to have it on screen).
What I want is to hide the softbar, and still be able to see the system tray at the bottom of the screen...
The problem is that with both solutions I have found, I can´t do that: with the first, the softbar is gone but the tray remains at the same place, so I can´t make use of the extra pixels. And with the second, both the softbar and the tray are gone.
Thanks for trying to help
On WM6.0 I had very rarely problems with VJ Toggle Today II, it basically just hides the soft menu and everything else moves down, it looks great and the soft keys still work, PHM Task Launch works perfect, programs show up in the tray at the very bottom of the screen, the Today screen items can take up the extra space that has been made above it, etc..
The executable is: vjtoggletodayiialpha.exe and you just put it in Startup. I have to tweak the registry to get it just perfect, the following post documents it, has a link to it, etc..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=243211
It says WM5 only but it works fine for me on WM6.0 and WM6.1 Caveat with WM6.1; after reboot I have to slide the phone once for the task tray to show up at all. It's just empty down at the bottom otherwise. It happened every so often with WM6.0, but 100% of the time with WM6.1. But it's a fairly minor annoyance. I might see if there's some way to automate this with MortScript or something and put it at the end of the startup list.
Amazing!!
Reinstalled pmc todayshrink and as you mentioned, opening the keyboard made the tray reappear.
Thanks!! Now my today screen is looking the way I want.
You may also want to try dcinobar. It is a very small program that lowers the softkey bar but still allows the system tray to be seen.

My first theme/dialer aka "Purple Nightmare"
spent quite a while on this, and this was my first attempt at editing manila, playing with xml and trying out mode9 (mode9 = killer!)
i would like to say thanks to Herg, Nisse, dHarvey, Xbmod, Showaco, Elvelynn, Mobilematt and a few others for helping me with this.
I attempted this as i noticed a lack of Purple orientated themes on the site... plus i think purple looks good with black!
Anywho, the home page is actually intended for the clock to be dragged back, think it looks more proffesional that way, plus ive "cleaned up" the home tab. you will still get notifications of missed calls and voicemails though.
Also, it contains a different background from the rest of the tabs, the hompage wallpaper will be added aswell. It also contains a different dialer...
To install:
Turn off TF3D
Put the Htc Purple.tsk folder in windows
Install .Cab file
*Soft reset*
Go to Start/Settings/Today and select the Htc Purple theme, and reactivate TF3D, choose the wallpaper through TF3D
as always, this release is not perfect. so if anybody finds any bugs, please let me know.
and there you go, hope you like it...

Looks nice!
Things to do:
Lanscape dialer:
try and find a solution to get rid of the white box around the "end call" button
View attachment 163111
submit this to CRC for deviceUpdate deployment
Request it to be called something like:
TF3d Theme\Purple Nightmare
TF3d TSK\Purple Nightmare
Nice work.
Looks good!
thanks to 12aon, i made a matching landscape for the theme. But due to certain conflicts of manila files, where previously edited files are being replaced by files containing different data, it is causing a few "visual" problems in regards to the theme. This is a pretty easy fix, but i just cant find the time seeing as i have so much work at uni this month. Also, the port from TP2 is nearly ready, so im not gonna stress myself out to fix this .
the cab below was intended as an "add-on" but has now become a file in which i hope others will edit to their benefit. if anybody does edit the files to coincide with one and other, please post them back here.
INSTALLING THIS "WILL" CAUSE PROBLEMS, SO DONT MOAN AT ME AFTER... IM WARNING YOU!!
Finally, im preparing a similar theme for the new port, so bring on "Purple Nightmare 2" for the New TF3D!!!

Love purple! Thanks!
Hmm.. well, that didn't work... Hard reset time.
Installed as directed. After the (automatic) soft reset after the cab install, and re-enabling TF3D, all screens selected with the slider were blank (just the background image with title, no content/buttons), and after the 2nd or 3rd screen, the slider would freeze, and eventually error out with an exception in shell32.dll. Softkeys at the bottom were "OK" and "Help", rather than what they were previously set to.
Tried changing back to a stock theme, but that had no effect on the TF3D issues. After stopping and re-starting TF3D, the same behavior would occur.
Tried an uninstall, didn't really seeem to do much. Same colors, same behavior. As a last resort before hard reset, tried a "Reset to default" from the theme selector in Diamond TF3D Config. This reset all the graphics to stock AT&T (rather than the HTC version I had to begin with), but with the same freeze of the slider after the 2nd or 3rd selection from the slider bar.
Running on AT&T stock ROM, with tyguy's 'no bloatware' TF3D install from this thread. I had made a bunch of tweaks with Advanced Config Tool, Diamond TF3D Config, and Diamond Tweak. The main one that I'm wondering about that might have had something to do with it was changing the order of the icons in the slider.
Getting the fresh TF3D install going now, this time I'm going to try installing the theme before all the other config tools, and see how that goes.
Absolutely beautiful theme btw, I really hope I can get it up and running.
Got it reinstalled on a fresh copy of TF3D.
Home screen is still pretty much non-functional. When it starts up, it's blank with OK and Help softkeys at the bottom (Screenshot #1). After selecting any other page, then going back to home, the softkeys from the previously selected page remain at the bottom of the home screen (Screenshot #2, after coming back to home from the settings screen).
Pressing either of the softkeys on the home screen, regardless of what they happen to be labeled at the time, will cause TF3D to freeze after the next use of the slider. TF3D can be restarted without a soft reset, and it will work again, until one of those softkeys gets pressed.
I've also noticed that the background is a little bit different than in the screenshots you provided with the original post, and setting the jpg file as wallpaper from the settings screen doesn't seem to have any effect at all.
All screens except for home seem to be fully functional.
Update:
Hard reset and just let it install the AT&T Manila and bloatware, then installed the theme. Works fine. Must be something it doesn't like about the HTC Manila.
Before another hard reset to go back to the non-bloatware install, I did try a quick install of Glass Clock, which did not change the clock at all from the standard AT&T clock. *shrug*

i made this on the stock HTC Rom.... so i can honestly say, that i aint got a clue as to why it aint working for you. the only reason maybe is because of the rom difference maybe?!?!

good luck

Ah, no worries there. The beauty of having a fresh new phone with nothing on it: It's the ideal time to play, mess with stuff, and hard-reset to my heart's content!
Anyway, after some more monkeying around with this theme and Brian's blue/red & chrome themes, all of them seem to work fine with the AT&T Manila, but wierd things happen when I use them with the Manila from tyguy's package. I don't know if it's something to do with a difference in the flipclock-style Manila vs. the AT&T clock, or what. I'm brand new to the Raphael and TF3D (just picked it up after my Kaiser met an untimely demise by getting left on the trunk of the car.. d'oh!), so I'll have to do some more searching around. Prolly end up flashing to a cooked rom anyway, so the whole point will be moot. 8)
I'm down to one last thing that's not quite working with this theme: On the Settings tab, it doesn't come up with the white background like in your screenshot, it's just nearly black text on the mostly black background, very hard to see. Any ideas on that one?

Any ideas on what might be going wrong.

Direct error because of corrupt installer. Downloaded again and it works. Now to figure out how to get the landscape working as well.

good.... the thing with the landscape, it has files which clash with the theme.... if your new to this you might wanna stay clear of it. if your up for the challange then look into the diting of manila files, its not that hard. good luck.
The landscape 'cab' installs just fine, but while trying all sorts of other stuff I can't get the normal theme applied back on.
I can't get it uninstalled, can't get it re-installed.
Any tips on how to uninstall an unwilling app/theme short of resetting my whole phone.
Can I just go into the registry and delete the key, or are there files I have to delete also for that to work?
(fideled around with the manila customizer, and that gives nice results as wel, but nothing in landscape.)
