Show us your Wings homescreen

Would be nice to see how people have set up their homesreen on their S730.
So please post a screendump of yours
Here is mine (ps. dont mind that the image of the phone is a Vox):
It is the original HTC homescreen with Facade installed. Plain, boring and simple..

What does the symbol next to the charging icon mean? The one that looks like a phone with a lightning bolt on either side.

vibrate mode

Not much free space to add anything else.

Moneytoo I can see you are using RightMenue
I installed it too but its not really compatible with the S730 is it? I uninstalled it but the button is still associated with the RightMenue...
But I mean why would you install it anyways. Isn't SmartToolKit better?

I have plain HTC screen. Can anyone tell me where I can download cool Wings homescreens?

Im using the latest version of RightMenu (1.97) without any problem.
Havent tried SmartToolkit yet.

Screen

Edit your wanted homescreen (HTC.home.xml) in \Application Data\Home directory. And add it somewhere between other plugin tags (choose where you want to have these icons - in between what other plugins)

is this the one from the wings with the weather app and quickdial or the genric one that people made to look like the wings version,

There are many HTCWMPPlug files in S730 ROM. But I didn't found theme with this plagin?
Somebody has such theme?
- Thank you.

sorry but im bit confused. what do u guys want? the original htc homescreen with application shortcuts on it? maybe i can help

on the TyTN2 they could change the homescreen with extra icons by changing in the register. Could this also by us?

My homescreen
I've gone for the basic HTC screen with a scrolling calendar (PtkslApptPlugIn), WiFi, Profile & MRU.
Profile is at the top so it's a simple press of the D-pad button to change to vibrate or back!

Customizing HTC home screen by adding last apps and Skype

Is it possible to edit htc home screen so there would be last used apps on the top, then that HTC thing with weather and clock, then Windows Live (without search bar), then Skype and appointments on the bottom?

Okay now. I have made some home.xml files and attached them in a zip file (there are four homescreens). All you have to do is extract and put home.xml files into Device\Application Data\Home folder and they should appear in homescreen list automatically (settings -> home screen).
I started all homescreens using "full.home.xml" as a template - "Windows Default". It is the most complete Windows Mobile homescreen which features all the things like call status (visible only if there's a call going on), voicemail, recent apps, etc.
There are four versions:
WindowsDefaultHTC.home.hml - It's a standard Windows homescreen with HTC color theme (the "scheme" part - default backgrounds, colors) and HTC clock/weather plugin instead of standard clock and carrier display plugin. Recent applications are located BELOW that HTC plugin so it looks just as good. It does not feature HTC mail/sms/mms/missed calls bar however, since the rest of homescreen is default, so it would duplicate the information.
WindowsDefaultLiveSkypeHTC.home.hml - it's just as the previous one except that it features Windows Live Services plugin (NOT that useless Windows Live Search Bar) just below recent recent applications bar and Skype plugin below upcoming appointments.
WindowsDefaultHTCLite.home.hml and WindowsDefaultLiveSkypeHTCLite.home.xml - they use HTC mail/sms/mms/missed calls bar, so standard mail notification plugins were removed. Also, a lot of other standard plugins were removed (cell broadcast, voicemail, etc.) so they are pretty fast to load. So basically they only include both HTC plugins (weather, clock + mail/sms/mms/missed calls notification), MRU (recent applications bar), call progress bar (only visible during calls), /Windows Live Services/, calendar, /Skype/ and current profile. Neat.
All homescreens are tested and are very tidily edited.

Wonderful! I especially like the Lite theme!
I have only one request for a change.
the icons of the recently used programs are very big, is there any way to make them smaller? Then wverything would fit on the page without scrolling.
And another one? Two appointments instead of just one?
Thanks a LOT!
best regards Martin

Open the home.xml you want to edit, search for:
<mru y="3"/>
and exchange it for:
<mru icon-size="16" y="3"/>
Also, you may need to adjust the pluging size after this modification.

I managed it to set the icons to small.
Replace line 49-53 with:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="33">
<mru y="3" icon-size="16"/>

Thanks! I initially thought it does not work. But I discovered that using EditPad to edit the XML file renders it unrecognisable as a XML file. When I used a proper programmer's editor, it worked like a charm! Thanks once again!

hi and i must say this is the best site i`ve found that caters for the needs of us s730 owners, can i ask is there a way to change the colour of the htc clock etc i`d like it to look like the tytn 2 (blue) any colour will do apart from white. thank you

Propably s.o. can help me with my S730?
I like the original HTC skin, but i'd like to have two additional features:
under the htc-plugin: skype and above the clock: wlan status (name of conected network / actual ssid)
Can s.o. explain me, where i can find the xml of the original htc home screen? I didn't find it in the default folder.
/edit: sorry for my not-so-good english - it's just a foreign language for me.

Thanks for this. Do you also know on how to show the label of the Icons too?
Update:
Never mind. I found the answer. For those interested here is what I found. Modify the full.home.xml
from:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="52">
<mru y="3"

To:
<plugin clsid="{79EFB752-CB70-446d-B317-499723482B3D}" name="startmru" height="33">
<mru y="3" icon-size="16" max-buttons="8"/>
<appname halign="right" font-size="17" x="-5" y="8" w="320" h="22"/>
<translaterockerkeys/>
</plugin>

here's a good one.
i like the notifications of the home screen. I like the apps and the weather launcher.
what i don't particularly like is the huge clock!
I don't know how to edit this, but is there any real way to remove the huge clock from the home screen, it takes up ALOT of real estate.
Sorry for posting this here, after looking closer i realized i posted this in the wrong place :-(

Hi, original HTC skin is in Application Data\Home, but skin have attribute hidden. Use total comander.
For Skype add:
<plugin clsid="{61F6E879-E592-4006-9B44-1AA3BE9B6C80}" name="Skype" height="58" autoheight="true">
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="transparent" />
</background>
<skype x="0" y="0" h-margin="2" v-margin="2" text-margin="6" separator-width="1" separator-color="COLOR_HOMERULE">
<selected highlight="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHTTEXT" />
<unselected highlight="transparent" fgcolor="COLOR_HOMETEXT" />
</skype>
</plugin>
and for wifi try this:
<plugin clsid="{E09043DF-510E-4841-B652-388316977A7A}" name="carrier" height="49">
<allowselection />
<background>
<format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT" />
</background>
<label y="21" textwidth="163">
<text>
<wifi />
</text>
</label>

well im trying to do it but it wont go into my today screen setings.

Waiting for Home2 adaption.. Looks promising.

Hmm looks like his concept was inspired by someone else's design lol.. well anyways ive attached the Sonnar Inspirat along with a PSD of the background so you can add your own unique images.
Also I will be taking on suggestions and requests for HS++ Today screens.. so just gimme a buzz. Ive been rather bored lately <_<;
For a preview of the BG's ive provided, see the first post.

Hi Aegishua
Hi there, nice and simple theme, extremely light. Keep on the good work
BTW you mention that "contacts" doesn't work, obviously your link has a small error: you wrote "contacts.ink" instead of "contacts.lnk" (with an L like austraLia
) happened to me too!

Ahaha nice, but will lnk work with the start_app item class? just verify that it does and i'll change it

THANKs

Hi,
How do you get the background show up like the pictures posted here.
I set it as background via settings/Today but the colour appear faded/washed out.
I added it into the .xml by adding this line:
<image left="0" top="1" src="Sonnar BGFinal1.png" height="300" width="240"/>
The colours are great now but the bottom of the background is cut off. See screenshot
Also what is the purpose of the TrayIcons section of the xml. When I enable trayicons in Homescreen ++ options the display becomes too long for the screen and the scrollbar appears. Is this just a matter of reducing the height of the spacer row? Then the background may have to be shortened to compensate.

theme request
http://img110.imageshack.us/img110/8655/launcherzf8.png
can you make a theme like this
This theme is really great look at the picture some guy from XDA Developer was trying to make a new interface for omnia
(PLEASE TAKE PERMISSION FROM THE AUTHOR BEFORE YOU START MAKING THE THEME)

@ ronjoor, when you set your today background... try doing this.
1. Goto your file explorer and find the image file.
2.Then open it with pimg(the default image viewer) and then hit your RIGHT softkey to open the Menu.
3. Then from there SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND.
4. Set the Transperancy level to 0%
@fusioncoast We've been over this already. the fact that it uses a curved layout for the icons means the slide used in batterystatus wouldnt be smooth. You would need to use Flash or different program to accomplish this. Also.. you could always ask him to adapt it from whatever program he was using cause im not sure what that theme is from.
@tito12 Thanks a tonne mate. it works xD
I Still need some inspiration for a new BS Theme... feel free to post something and I'll get around to it. post about ANY issues about the theme itself or if you'd like to see some changes. Just say so and I'll consider it(I'll actually look into it lol).
IMPORTANT:
DOWNLOAD Version 0.2 TO MAKE CONTACTS WORK! See Post 3.

Looks good!
Diggin the layout, testing it on my Verizon XV6900 (HTC Vogue)
Downloaded 0.2, contacts link still not working. Any way to change the clock to 12-hr format?
Also, I can't change the batterystatus to Sonnar...is the reason because of the phone I have? I'm not terribly familiar with HS++ and how to customize the Today screen. I'd like to get my upcoming appointments on the screen if possible. Also, can you create a button on the screen to lock the phone? If i add it through the Today screen settings, it throws off the background image. Any help/guidance would be great!!
See the attached screenshots of with and without the device lock on Today.

Okay, if you want to get that lock working the easy way, I'd remove the bottom bar BUT if you want the tray icons with the bottom bar you'd need adjust the background and the spacer settings.
Code:
<!-- Spacer -->
<Row name="Spacer" rowtoggle="0">
<View height="85">
<Item class="space" type="value">
<label text=" " fontfamily="Segoe UI" align="center" left="0" top="0" fontsize="13" width="30"/>
</Item>
</View>
</Row>
you'd change "View Height" accordingly. My advice personally.. use todaytoggle, the softkeys will still work. Just the ugly bar will dissapear. Sorry i couldn't be of more help, sorta rushing to get to uni. maybe when i get back i'll help you abit more.

i think i kind of got the fix on it...
there is a DeviceLock settings that I can check through the OnHold function, which seems to lock it everytime the screen turns off (which is basically what I was looking for). Also, found a way to get my calendar in the homescreen by integrating the 'TodayAgenda' plugin and playing around with the XML file so it will fit. Also needed to change the background image a bit since the homescreen resizes depending on how much is in the Agenda screen.
I just need to figure out the 24 hr clock to 12 hr...my silly american upbringing won't allow me to learn how to read 24 hr clock. Ok, that's a lie, i just prefer 12 hr.
See my new TodayScreen attached. Thanks for getting this whole thing off the ground, I hope you don't mind my tweaking!

working on my device
very nice bro n thanks

Cool
Very nice dude looks great

the clock edit is in systemui.apk so you need to grab the one that has the clock removed already. then put both in your theme.

Im pretty sure I know exactly what to edit and how, since it took me FOREVER to find out on vanilla bean...there are not that many differences between the services.jar and the SystemUI.apk status bar xmls...give me another 10 minutes and I should know if my change worked...I had to flash BAMF real quick.
-Testing now...got it....I will PM you an updated SystemUI.apk and explain in detail the changes I made...they were a little different but really quite easy
How to change clock color on Gingerbread rom:
1) Decompile SystemUI.apk using APKTool
2) Navigate to res/layout/statusbar.xml
3) find the line that looks like :
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
4) Add the color into this line...it will look like this with the color in bold...
Code:
<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock [B]android:textColor="#ff000000"[/B] android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textSize="16.0sp" android:gravity="left|center" android:id="@id/clock" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />
5) Recompile the apk
6) pull the modified statusbar.xml and put it in the original SystemUI.apk to prevent any errors with signing the rom.
Attached is the tweaked SystemUI.apk for your theme as well as a screenshot to show you what it looks like. You should be able to drop this right in your theme and call it a day...looks good man...keep up the good work.

Haven't tried it, but we definitely should...I've been working on Vanilla Bean 2.0 all morning and am starting to spin circles around myself lol

I love the theme but two gripes.. there is a notification for messages, but it's white and thus does not show up on the bar but I know it's there because there's a space if you have a different type of notification.. and there's nothing that notifies you if you have 4G. I had 4G last night and there was either no icon by the signal bar or like the messages case.. it was white
otherwise it looks great

Ya I was thinking i forgot to put the 4g in, they colored and ready, what s the other one, the text message? I will have those fixed later today

[Q] Go Launcher Icon Pack dummy ComponentInfo possible?

Is it possible to include icons in the Go Launcher icon pack that are not linked to an installed app? Below from assets/app_filter.xml:
<item component="ComponentInfo{com.android.vending/com.android.vending.AssetBrowserActivity}"
drawable="market" />
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
shows up in the icon pack when changing an icon because the ComponentInfo exists, but what if I wanted to include multiple market icons? or have a bunch of icons for people to choose from to customize their apps I have not yet coded to be themed.
Thanks for any input. I like how ADW dealt with this as a string array.

The assets/appfilter does not handle the icons loaded into the grid,
there is a file called assets/drawable or drawables that is actually the grids icons.
now hit thanks please

Absolutely
Thank YOU! I don't know how I missed that. Thanks again.
