Starting Out.. - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Okay so my AT&T Tilt is coming in later this week, and I'd like to learn how to customize it (change the today screen). I've been looking through a lot of websites / threads here in this forum, but I'm still confused as to how everything works.
So I would like to turn my today screen into the same exact one that's displayed here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ATOM_USER_THEMES
And I would like to ask, is that the same one that's displayed here, but just with different icons?: http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/ph...cab-files-all-devices-14-10-a.html#post147780
So basically I'm asking for step-by-step instructions on what to download+install first. ^^; So according to the 2nd link I posted above-- I should install the 'Schen's 6 Button HTC Home today screen plugin' first, then install the 'Customization plugin', and then voila I can go and change all the icons and such just like in the image below, and that's all? (Because if it's that simple, what's with all the stuff here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 and what is the KaiserTweak program for?)

Two more questions:
1) When the instructions say 'install it to your device', where exactly do I install it into? Do I create a new folder/directory?
2) How do I "soft reset" ?
I need clarification. Thanks!

Thats HTC Home with Htc Home Customizer fairly straightforward stuff which you'll learn when you get your device.
Anyhow, I believe this is the best forum to learn how to customize and improve your device.
If I were you I'd start reading the link below and once you get your device you'll figure out how to install applications.

read the wiki first....it'll solve a lot of inquiries...for me at least when i first started out
in regards to ur question...it installs to the phone's onboard memory and it will create a folder...for me its in my device>program files
second answer: soft reset is when u use ur stylus and poke thru the hole at the bottom of the phone

thats the link regarding different resets

HTC ROM not closing apps?

FIXED: Sorry ... my noobish self didn't set the "End programs by Tapping 'X'" option in task manager and I haven't figured out how to delete my post, yet!
Finally gave up on Palm and switched to the Tilt(HTC ROM). I'm just getting used to a Windows Mobile device.
Before I get flamed, I did a LOT of reading and haven't come across this, yet, so I'm posting:
Tupisdin very nicely provided the SIM Unlock code. I used HardSPL for the SID unlock and I flashed the shipped HTC ROM earlier this evening without bricking the phone (whew!).
But now my OS doesn't seem to want to close my applications. Java, Google Maps, SMS/MMS and even the File Explorer don't seem to close when I click on the "X". They seem to stay open in the oh so convenient Task Manager drop down in the upper-right corner of the Today screen. And I have to close it from there.
I've tried soft resets but to no avail. Is there something I'm missing?
Mahalo!

​Brian, a little friendly advice here...
You have seriously become what is known as a "Serial Threader". Follow the links in my Signature, read them and understand them. Then come back and be a good forum citizen.
First, you need to post in the proper subforum. Questions about flashing DO NOT belong in the General subforum, they belong in the upgrading subforum.
Next, you need to post your questions in the correct threads (i.e. for the Rom you are using or in a thread that asks the same thing).
Then only time you should create a NEW thread is when there are no existing threads where your question fits. None of your threads fits this requirement.
Finally, be patient. Nobody at XDA-Devs is paid for their time, yes even the Moderation Team is entirely volunteer.
Take to heart the fact that XDA-Devs is just as much about the journey as it is the destination. If you don't care for the how but only want the bling then this is not the right place for you.
Thanks,​

I would like it too if anyone has it. An OEM version to cook into a ROM would be even better...
Look there...
Look in this thread (first post, under "HERE THE CABS"). It's from AthineOS and the rar contains some cabs...
also, after you download the cab you may want to read the whole thread before you install it on your kaiser

yup unlees its been changed it could lead to a hard reset!!! from what I read i've not tried it myself!!!
I can get the plugin to enable without freezing under the new hyperdragon rom, but nothing but a different background seems to show up, and in the 'today' settings it is called Titanium i believe. So nothing useable yet. Just wait a bit
Looking forward too didn't realize they used the chome config icons
The HTC Home works on PDA Corners Ulimate rom V17...but you can only scrolll using the hardware buttons. I stuck with the manila 2d that was cooked in. Super fast.
Well it will be nice when someone gets this working correctly. What ever happened to that web interface? Has that been leaked and cabbed yet?

Windows Mobile 6.5: turn off honeycomb?

I'm running a ROmwhich has the honeycomb icon layout. I find it terrible. It's so hard to find anything, it looks cluttered and confusing... Is there a way to get it to list things as a grid instead?
Yes there is a app available that will show everything in a list, unfortunately I can't remember the name but you should be able to find it via the search option.
I'm also desperately looking to disable the HoneyComb effect... I hear the economy is bad and some jobs need to be lost. I'd start with whoever came up with that.

I've searched and I can't find anything. It's possibly the worst idea Microsoft have come up with since that ridiculous paperclip. It's a mess.
I'm going back to 6.1 until one of the rom wizards finds a fix for it. Unless this thread comes up with one.

I will be posting a new one in that thread in a few minutes once i get landscape fixed
I second the OP question regarding the return to the simple grid system. A list is good, but not as good

could anyone plz point out where to get Chome?

Hello,
I'v been searching like a mad man, trying to find a cab or any other sort of installation to implement Chome afterwords on my x2 ultimate build 6.5 V11.
it is supposed to be cooked in the rom but I'v flashed reflashed, restored and re-configured, somehow it just wont appear on my tools nor my today screen.
I really like the Chome today screen, with all its features, but untill now I am unable to find a way to implement it on my phone.
is there a way? and if yes, could somebody plz direct me to the correct place to get it?
thanks a billion.
cheers,
Remen
Chome is the Windows Default in 6.5. Maybe you have Touchflo (Manila) enabled on your ROM? Just go to Settings/Today/Items and just tick Windows Default.
I'v got something like this :

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
but without the two buttons at the bottom of the screen.
what I would like and had before with a earlier version of the same ''publisher'' is
now on a bright moment, just a few minutes ago, reading your comment about the windows default which I have running, is it titanium that brings me the userinterface from the last picture?
the reason I am confused is because by the looks of it, the cabs to install these features, should be cooked in the rom, but I might be wrong, I can't really figure out if it is supposed to be there or not, I got this for the rest great rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715`
thanks for any help offered.
Ask in your ROM thread about the settings. Titanium is just another name for CHome. Titanium Weather will have its own configuration somewhere.
