Hi there I have the O2 xda stellar, when I see pictures of it most of the time it always shows a large time display with a black screen. How do I set this up?
Thanks
Keith
I think you need
HTC Home
I cannot remember exactly
Or just flash your phone and 90% of ROMs have it already set up
Can you please tell me what this is flash your phone and 90% of ROMs have it already set up?
Thanks

Search is your friend (no doubt theres ppl planning to jump & shout SEARCH! right now) but that'll work, no sure if its the latest version or not, if u want the latest do some searching etc.
Anyways,
just download the cab file, dump it on ur phone, then on ur phone open the file & install... u may need to soft reset after installation (poke the little round hole at bottom of phone with the stylus) & bang should work
Thanks for your help

What cab is the Big Clock I see on e all the today screens called and where can I get it for my at&t tilt ??
You can try this: Its called HTC home plugin. if you have vga screen there is a thread for it here on this forum. Just search htc home vga
Thanks that was it
How does one edit what is shown.
I do not need all the extras
is there a way to back this out if you dont like the way it looks?
Dont mean to hijack the thread but I would like to know as well, I like the plug in but the clock is to big any way to make it smaller ?
thanks
God these newbies are relentless... You answer one question (one that could have been solved via search or more over just READING the thread with the pictures of the clock you like. Instead of just looking at the pictures) and you get several follow up posts that could be answered in the same fashion...
Its like answering them just enables their lazy attitude.
Enough rant.
UNINSTALL IT. If you don't know how to do that. READ YOUR MANUAL.
As for the other one, search. Hell, just click through some menus.
And the other, does not get smaller (that I know of) with advanced modification to the plug-in.
Later, Lew
P.S. That was a long over due rant.

Guys,
I agree...but also disagree...
Agree: newbies/noobs should always read before they ask, use google, use search, rtfm, etc.
Disagree: just ignore the stupid questions, and if you have time, answer them (with a hint to why it's stupid, they might...possibly...eventually...learn! )...
Last but not least: google/search for HHC (HTC Home Customizer), the best HTC Home editor (AFAIK) which allows you to change the font, buttons, etc.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to flashing and trying different ROMs but with the help of this forum, I think im getting there.....slowly at least.
That was until I installed this application for the big clock on the today screen, im runnning a winodws mobile 6.1 ROM and just assumed (for some reason) this would work.
After installation of the big clock mod, my phone just keeps resetting its self, over and over.
I'm hoping that i can fix the problem by flashing a new ROM, however the phone wont stay on long enough for me to sync it then run the ROM utility.
Is there a way of putting the phone in boot loader then running the flash application from the computer?
Thanks
Hi I just upgraded to an at&t tilt. I have been reading these forums to get some customization ideas. Now I just want everyone to know this is my first ppc, just had regular cell phones before this. I have a general idea of what to do but I could use a little help.
What I want to do is get the regular black htc homescreen plug and the home screen customizer. I need help getting ahold of them and installing. From what I have seen so far I just need to find the cabs to dowload directly to my phone, or get them in a zip file and sync them from my pc. If I sync from my pc were do I put them on my phone to access the cabs and install?
If anyone can help me out it would be awsome. I need to find the files and how to install them, unless they are cabs i can download directly to the tilt. Also if anyone has any other cool apps they think would help I would like to hear about them; I will probably get pie scroll fix and some other helpful stuff too.
Thanks for all your help.
Here are the versions I'm using, with no problems. Alternatively you can go here: http://www.pocketemu.com/news.html
You can put the cabs anywhere on the phone (in any folder - my documents for example), or on a sd card then just run from there.
edit:
the home customizer didn't upload but you can get it from the link i posted
Thanks for the speedy reply!
Thanks I will install them and hopefully it will come out the way I want it. Can u put a screenshot of your homescreen so i can see what it looks like? Oh and do u have any recommendations for other tings to make my stock tilt better?
kaiser tweak
Does anyone know if the kaiser tweak already has the home screen and customizer with it, or will I have to install that seperate?

just flash a new rom.
Flash a new rom
To tell u the truth thats what i wanted to do was just flash it with the kaiser rom but I am kind of afraid to do that because i dont know much about how it will work, what it will change, if it will still work tight with at&t and i dont want to mess up my phone and void the warranty. If i just add plugins and apps I dont have to worry about it as much. Plus I have no idea how to do it.
Here you go boss

I just got my tilt a week ago, and have probably flashed it at least a dozen times by now playing with settings and trying out different ROMs.
The only problem I've had with AT&T was when i put an incompatible radio on, my sound stopped working. I could still make calls, I just couldn't hear anything.
A reflash fixed that. Other than that I haven't had any probelms
Just read through the wikis and other peoples posts and everything will(should) turn out fine
??
the link takes me to a page that say rotator admin login?
well I will have to read through the wikis. what are wikis anyway? lol!
here is the link to "G.W.E.N.I" which is basically just a big collection of helpful information/links
are there any better or newer versions of what is posted?

Strange, it worked first time for me.
All I can say is double check your XML and if it still doesn't work, it might be a ROM issue.
Dave
Just incase, here is the link to his tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2820586
The method I used to get mine running was Accuweather's which is explained for use in the xml file.
Worked first time for me, so can't help anymore....
Good luck
Got it working for some reason htc home needed to be removed as it was causing a conflict (not real sure why it was there in the first place) after I took that out went to the weather tab and boom there is the list.
thanks for every ones help
Well basically ive just got my new HTC diamond today and was looking at installing a few apps, programs and themes ect.
But after spending 2 hours browsing the forum im just getting more and more confused by the minute about what you actually have to do
Can anyone link me or tell me how i go about getting programs themes and app's on to my diamond?? im mainly wanting to change the home screen (customize it)
Help Much Appreciated.
Jack
Right after further searching i found i need "TouchFlo 3D" i downloaded this and put it in the program files folder then go to install it on my phone and nothing happens, asif i dont even click it .. please can someone help!!
Jack,
Ur diamond out of the box already has TF3D, go to start>settings>today and choose on the second tab ('items') TF3D, click the X in the upper right corner and then your homescreen will change to the one with the nice flip clock on it.
But why don't u start with the manual that came with your diamond?
Get to know the device a little more, use it for awhile and then decide what you want to change to let it better suit your needs.
For tons of information and good applications you're absolutely in the right place here, though it can be a bit overwhelming at first, but you'll figure it out i'm sure (cuz i did to and i'm not a whizkid whatsoever..lol...)
Have fun with your diamond, it's a great device with lotsa possibilities

Well its not actually out of the box i meant new as in ive just got it
Got it off my dad as hes just upgraded, anyways after searching even more i decided to have a little play.
i followed this guide :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
And used this rom :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607860
But im getting numerous problems, at first it worked spot on with no problems then after about an hour i went to see if i had a message and it had froze .. now it just keeps turning itself on and off all the time and basically hard resetting itself as every time it turns off i have to do the stylus alignment and date ect.
What am i doing wrong?!
You're doing nothing wrong, but you skipped a step that's crucial when flashing a Diamond:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=mtty
If you perform mtty before you flash a new rom it will most probably solve all the weird errors such as you describe.
Hi, i tryed that but i dont have windows 7 just XP so its not compatable
sure it is compatible, it's even easier to use with XP cuz you don't have to change the drivers.
Be sure to read the first post of the thread carefully, lol, look at the big sentence in red:
NOTE: WORKS WITHOUT DRIVER INSTALL ON XP
Your right its working perfect now, but the tom only came with one keyboard option, and its not "qwerty" can i get an add on or something so i can get the other option's on my device (qwerty, compact,phone keypad)
Thanks for all your help Nirak
Just tryed two other ROM's and there both the same it shows in the screen shots that you can change between the different ones but i keep getting the same keyboard layout no matter what ROM i use, like it wont let me change it to qwerty or phone keypad
Could someone please help me, as its getting quite frustrating now.
Thanks Jack
Hi folks;
OK here is a jump right in situation.. Suppose using the EnergyROM ver. " Energy.RHODIUM.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.13 " you wanted to use some of the Home Screen graphics? Nor I have found all thegraphics for the flip clock and that works great changing the manila files in Photoshop CS5.
The one Gramhic I can't find guessing at the bars and testing is the one thats just under the main tip curtain and your location, etc. and it's the one thats rolled and small vertically, I'll just say the humpped up one? has the small line vertically in it and has on the rght the Alarm on or off and on the left the date... There now...whew..
OK I am trying to find the file name of that little graphic in eith manils or the theme name? Driving me nuts as I am trying to make the graphic background for that area flat and dart like the Sencity themed ROM.
If any one can give a little hand here I would really appreciat it!!!
Sincerey

I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Can you post a screen shot with the item in question circled?
Oh, finally understood what you're asking for, will upload the files in question in a minute.
The Images are attached in both PNG & QTC format. The PNG filenames have notes to which part they are for. There are 6 images in total. These are my already skinned files btw, just a note.
drkfngthdragnlrd;
I wanted to personally thank you for the link to the Sencity images. I have them working and did a little touch up on them and made them look even better than before.
Sorry it took me some time t get back to you with this but I am in Flight Status Readiness runs right now and having to tighten up some of the marines and Navy pilots to get ready for a few things that may spring up..
I have already issued the new Manila sections to the teams an they have already mentioned that when dimmed it works perfectly!!
Think of what color youhave to make the Home Screen so that it was Dark with little Ambient out put and be very visible wit infra-red eyes?? That's a good one.
The way I do it is using the real thing and looking at the screen, but anyone can see it with the red lense of a pair of ZZ Top 3D Glasses for the 3d movies and use the red lense..
I really thank you for all the help.
Now I tring to get my hands on the STOCK HTC Icons for the phone, so that I can redo them for our needs. Are there any out on XDA as a set??
Thanks Again!!

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I forgot to ask you one more question on this ROM?? Is there any of the Original Start Icons out there on XDA " I have been looking " for them that come with the Stock ROM on the HTC web site for the Tilt2 flip out keyboard or actually it's just the new Touch Pro2. I just need the Images for the folders and the start sections.
I did find the stock "Check Boxes" & "ATT_Blue_Sense_Switches_and_Highlights", but I am just missing the original Start Folders and apps. If I get them I am going to change them to what color I need and not have any of then Shinny like Apple Button's..
If you know and can do more link to me I would greatly appreciate it.. Seems like you know where most of these type things are..
Thanks again for all the help..
Sincerely

I would suggest downloading Ervius Visual Kitchen. You can then dump the stock ROM of your choice to get said files. Also get WinRAR or 7Zip, with either you can "unzip" the ROM exe to get the .nbh file which you'll need to dump with the kitchen. Sense you want a stock set of icons, just go to HTC's website & get the ROM from there.
Merry Christmas drkfngthdragnlrd!!!
Thanks for the info, and I think I will jump that direction on the kitchen as if I need a new project, but it sounds interesting..Appreciate it.. I did call HTC Support yesterday and low and behold the support guy I talked with is here close to my home base and her spent 3 hours yesterday trying to get all of the image files from their stoch ROM and at about 6:00 pm est. time he called and emailed me a link.
I only have one small question for you now if you have the time.
The 20th of Dec. ENergyROM's have a problem it looks like on the post, that mentions getting rid of the Appointment Widget or something like that, I can do that, but I need to know if there is somewhere on the cell plone where you turn off the " XDA_UC "??
Here is the tweet posted on the Twitter site about the latest 20th Dec. ROM....
Note:
It seems having the tasks widget on the homescreen makes CHT 2.0 unstable and crash Sense. Remove the tasks widget if u dont have tasks .
So it's mentioned on the install section to dis-able XDA_UC before doing a task 29..
This ROM was blowing my mind...If you see the news or read it on MSN the Korea problem is getting worse by the day, I am going to get this coloring and darkening on this ROM and gt it out to my Troops ASAP. We are now officially on Active Call.... That's not good, it's cold as He** over ther now and we and most of our troops have been in the desert reagion's too long...Problem sinario...
Thanks and Take Care and have a Great Holiday!!! I really do appreciate all the help you have given me...!! I could't have pulled this idea off with out your help..
Now I just have to get the Dec. 20th version running as some of the CHT files and others have changed..
Not a problem there I have already seperated the images into different dir's and will mostly set-up a Photoshop Action to do what I need...
Sincerely

I don't know about disableling XDA_UC, but there should be information in it's thread. I don't use Task29 myself, I use a stock RUU. If you download a Stock ROM, it's a self extracking exe/zip. I manually unzip it & delete the nbh files in there & than add the custom ROM nbh to that folder. Now when I run the RUU that was inside, it flashes the custom ROM while doing a full format of the ROM Chip. Been doing this for over a year now & never have any kind of bad flash issues. Never need to Hard Reset after flashing, never need to do Task29 or Flashing Stock/etc.
